JESSE WATTERS (HOST): So this stupid bank in California didn't see inflation coming. They're about as smart as the Fed Chair. So when the Fed Chair finally raised rates, the bank got crushed. Well, why weren't they paying attention?

Silicon Valley Bank is a woke Biden bank. They were holding seminars on Lesbian Visibility Day and National Pride Month. Now, if you want to hold a pride month, that's fine, but you've got to be able to chew gum at the same time and walk. So, keep an eye on the balance sheet, guys.
