(00:00):
The gotten thing. Ask good morning, everybody, get happy Thursday to all
of you and yours. It's commonsense Radio almend in the morning. And
I don't want to beat this uptoo hard, but it really needs to
be conveyed in a strong way,especially to all of you. And certainly

(00:25):
President Trump recognizes it that Nicki Haleyis a relic. The people who surround
her are relics. The Republican Partymembers who have been supporting her our relics.
The party that she identifies with isdead, and if it's not dead

(00:49):
yet, it deserves to die soon. And so when Nicki Haley goes out
yesterday and it acts like she's somekind of queen who is holding on to
some cards that Donald Trump needs,our country is too precious to let our
differences divide us. I have alwaysbeen a conservative Republican and always supported the

(01:15):
Republican nominee. But on this question, as she did on so many others,
Margaret Thatcher provided some good advice whenshe said, quote, never just
follow the crowd. Always make upyour own mind. It is now up
to Donald Trump to earn the votesof those in our party and beyond it

(01:37):
who did not support him and Ihope he does that. Yeah, whatever,
take your rolling pin and go home. This is not an issue anymore
for Donald Trump. And I knowit sounds like I am saying this with
a level of hubris and maybe evenover confidence, But as I have said,

(01:59):
Donald Trump does it need that relicwing of the Republican Party anymore.
It is dying on its own.We have seen the falling off of sandbags
that are holding us down, likeMitch McConnell and some of the others who
are not running again. And ultimatelyDonald Trump is slowly but surely taking over

(02:22):
the party, which is really thebest kind of approach, because you don't
want to just simply run independent ordo things like that. You need to
reformulate the party in the mold thatbest serves the interests of Americans, not
the interest of the party. Thereason why I'm saying this is this is

(02:45):
a really fascinating person who is onthe grid now. Her name is Batya
Unger Sargun. She has a bookout and she's making the rounds and I
will have her on the air eventually. I'm in touch with her people,
and so she hasn't really begun hertrue media blitz yet. But the book

(03:12):
is called Second Class, and basicallyit's how the elites basically have spent decades
undercutting the working class American. Andit's the stuff you and I talk about
all the time. So she's alwaysSteve Bannon, and she quintessentially defines Donald

(03:34):
Trump in a way that very fewpeople have with any kind of saliency.
She happens to be a liberal,and Bannon had her on and this is
what she said about Donald Trump.And when you listen to her talk about
the Make America Great Again movement,and when you listen to her talk about

(03:55):
Donald Trump, you're like, yeah, that's credible. You know. As
as extremist as Donald Trump is,the reality is he's not extreme at all.
And in fact, if anything,he's moderate. And if anything,
you and me who support him areactually not right wing crazy nuts. We're

(04:20):
moderate everyday Americans with symmetry with mostother Americans, regardless of political parties and
proclivities. And it's fascinating when youhear it this way, because she's just
right on his view on abortion sixteenweeks right, that was the Democrats view

(04:41):
until the nineties. His view onimmigration, that mass migration is class warfare
against the working class. That wasthe view of the Democrats until the nineties.
Ernie Sanders Berney Sanders in twenty fifteen, open borders, that's a Koch
brother's proposal, right. You rememberthat Trump is pro black, He's courting
black voters, He's pro gay.I hear that from his supporters all the
time, and they love that abouthim. He's That is who the Democrats

(05:04):
used to be, and now itis who Maga is. And I say
that with a lot of love andrespect. So a lot of you aren't
going to really take that part ofit and say, well, I know
I'm not a Democrat, and youknow you would not describe yourself as an
old school Democrat. But who caresreally what label they are there is.

(05:28):
I'm not ashamed or afraid of beingassociated with an old Democrat. Some we're
down the line when they actually believedin America and patriotism and things like that,
and life and secure borders and thingslike that. I don't care.
I don't care how you label it. But the fact of the matter is
we need to be loud and proudand unafraid to say that the make America

(05:53):
Great Again generation is not at allan extremist point of view, and she
puts it really beautifully right there.And by the way, I mentioned this
earlier. I don't know whether youall caught on about this because the mainstream
media didn't report it. But didyou know that there was a gay wedding

(06:14):
at mar Alago just a week agoor so? Two guys, two gay
guy got married at mar Alago.It didn't really get covered a whole lot.
I mean Trump. I think theygot their picture taken with Trump.
I mean, And speaking of that, I'll never forget the first time I
ever heard a Republican say anything aboutLGBTQ rights was in Cleveland when President Trump

(06:41):
accept the denomination. So anyway,I mean all that stuff. This idea
that he is an extremist and acrazy and not in step with America is
absolutely a total and complete lie putup by the fascist, propagandist, anti

(07:03):
American, traitorous Democrat Party, newsmedia and left. They are the extremist
people. Anybody who goes on televisionand dismisses an entire state of individuals because
they're not like you, that's extremist. That happened on MSNBC. That happened

(07:30):
when the Harpies on MSNBC joked andmocked the state of West Virginia. You
guys have already been there, donethat, and seen it. So the
extremist and you have to keep promotingthat. You have to keep pushing that.
Don't feel guilty about supporting Donald Trumpor the Make America Great Agan movement,

(07:55):
and in fact, turn it aroundaggressively against the left, against people
who are Democrats. Start calling themextremists, turning the word around, flip
the script, because you're more rightand you're more credible than they are in
calling you an extremist. Don't beafraid. I know a lot of you

(08:18):
are not. But uh so,again, back to my point, Nicky
Hayley is a relic. She's notan extremist, she's not a moderate,
she's not anything. She's a relicof an old Republican party. She was
supported by the Koch Brothers, whowere indeed open border guys. The Koch

(08:39):
Brothers and George W. Bush,they were open border people. But which
is why nothing ever got done aboutsecuring our borders, which is why it
took Donald Trump to come in anddo it. Because in her book Second
Class, she lays out this paththat I've been talking about, written this

(09:00):
damn book myself that I've been talkingabout for months now as we head into
the new election season, about howthe Democrat Republican Party has not cared about
us. They haven't cared about themiddle class, they haven't cared about the
working class, they haven't cared aboutnormal Americans and so and in fact,

(09:24):
they have worked aggressively against us behindour backs, while telling us another story,
or while distracting us with an abortionissue here something that you there,
what have you? They haven't doneanything. The Paul Ryan Republican is a
trader to this country and has beena trader to Americans and has been an

(09:50):
absolute charlatan, just like Mitt Romney, John McCain, all these guys who
we supported and who actually in theend had only contempt for us. Because
when we started to speak out,See what happened when that happened, when
we started to speak out, whenwe started to question the veracity of so

(10:15):
called free trade stuff and our socalled commitment to NATO, And you know,
you saw how angry they got whenwe didn't comply and we weren't in
lockstep with them. They got angry. Look how nasty Nikki Haley became when
she finally realized that people weren't buyingwhat she was selling. Look how nasty

(10:41):
she got and she did. Sheturned into a witch after New Hampshire because
she thought, like all these otherRepublicans do, that they could marginalize Trump,
they could marginalize Trump supporters. Andthey had all this money, they
had all these packs, they hadthe newsbeating behind him who hated Trump to

(11:05):
and they made a run. Theymade a swing and they missed. And
once they made that run, theymade that swing and they missed, they
got angry. The tone of NickiHaley's campaign after New Hampshire turned as witchy
and nasty as I've ever seen it. And she was hell bent to destroy

(11:33):
Donald Trump. And so this ideasomehow that now it's up to Trump to
unify the party is blowney. TheNicky Haley, some of the Nicky Haley
voters are useless people who we don'tneed to even talk to or kiss up
to. And again the Baccia HungerSargant just put it so beautifully in this

(11:58):
conversation again with Steve Bannon, andwe'll have the conversation with her eventually when
they when she starts her book tour. But this is this is an important
element here because she's she quint essentiallycaptures the essence of of the of the
Make America Great Again movement. AndI'll let her finish this conversation. Until

(12:20):
the nineties, his view on immigrationthat mass migration is class warfare against the
working class. That was the viewof the Democrats until the nineties. Ernie
Sanders Berney Sanders in twenty fifteen,open borders. That's a cult brother's proposal.
Right. You remember that Trump ispro black, He's courting black voters,
he's pro gay. I hear thatfrom his supporters all the time,

(12:41):
and they love that about him.He's that is who the Democrats used to
be, and now it is whoMAGA is. And I say that with
a lot of love and respect.So how talk about that as a as
a liberal You've been you've been outcastbecause you take the side of the working
class. Ye, So how canthat be? The Democrat sells all the
time they were a part AOC andthese people tell us their working class party.

(13:03):
No, that's complete nonsense. TheDemocrats are the party of the college
credentialed elites and the dependent poor.So all of their policies are either about
flattering the vanity of the rich orsustaining the poor. That won't work.
And meanwhile, everybody in the middle, the hard working people who listen to
your show, who you know aboutand who you respect, they were not

(13:24):
represented by either party until Trump camealong. And Trump showed up and said,
wait a minute, why is noone standing up for the hard working
American? And what I did forthis book is I traveled around the country
and interviewed working class Americans. Andlet me tell you something, Steven.
You know this, working class Americans, whether they vote for Democrat or Republican,
whether they're liberal or conservatives, theyall have the same views. Like

(13:45):
neither party is really speaking to them. They all agree by and large about
the most important issues. Polarization isa totally elite phenomenon. So this is
something you guys already knew, havealready talked about, I'm sure, But
this is a liberal on Bannon's shownailing it completely. This is what we've

(14:09):
been talking about all along, orat least if we didn't talk about it,
you sensed it right, And shearticulates it really well. Her name
is Batya Unger Sargon, and she'swritten a new book called Second Class,
and she absolutely nails what the MAGAmovement is all about. It is far

(14:31):
from extremist. And this ought togive you all the confidence in the world
to punch somebody in the face whocalls you an extremist. And I don't
mean punch them physically, because youguys know I'm a lover, not a
fighter, but you need to fightthem, punch them in the face with
their own reality that they are theextremists, they are the outliers, they're

(14:54):
the ones who truly don't care aboutmost of America. Don't let them tell
you you're an extremist. You're not. We're not, and we're gonna win.
Good morning, everybody in Happy HappyThursday to all of you. I
want to continue on with Batya Ungersargan. She's going to be on the air

(15:16):
with me over the next couple ofweeks because her media tour is just kicking
off, and she kind of kickedit off on Bannon's show, and she's
the author of Second Class, andshe speaks to this reality that I've been
talking about, You've been talking aboutfor a long time. The Republican Party
in the essence of Nikki Haley,the Democrat Party in the essence of Joe

(15:39):
Biden are indistinguishable. They have betrayedAmerica and they are disconnected with most of
America. They don't realize it,they don't get it, as evidenced by
the fact that Nicki Haley ran hermouth yesterday as if she was holding some
kind of basket of important votes forDonald Trump, which she does not.

(16:03):
I know, Donald Trump is invitedher to join the club and do all
this kind of stuff, but sheis unnecessary and she It's kind of like
when you know, the rocket takesoff into space and you just have to
start throwing off weight, and NikkiHaley is weight as our Republicans who support

(16:26):
her. Sorry to say, butto Bacchia on Garsargun's point, these parties
have constant I mean I was,in fact, I was even on the
way to Seapac. I had aNuba driver who told me at the airport
to get home, who told mehe definitely knows that all this division is

(16:48):
really a creation of the political classeswho raise money on it, extort votes
from it, and line their pocketswith and here's banti hunger Shargan laying it
out. I did for this bookis I traveled around the country and interviewed
working class Americans. And let metell you something, Steven. You know

(17:08):
this, working class Americans, whetherthey vote for Democrat or Republican, whether
they're liberal or conservatives, they allhave the same views. Like neither party
is really speaking to them. Theyall agree by and large about the most
important issues. Polarization is a totallyelite phenomenon. Walkers through that. So
the elites are very, very polarized. If you talk to someone who's been

(17:30):
to college, conservative or liberal,somebody who works in the media elites,
somebody works in the political elites.They look at the party platform, whether
it's the GOP platform or the Democraticplatform, and they're like, check check,
check, check check. Whatever theparty tells them is the good and
the right they agree with. Sothere's no natural connection between supporting abortion on

(17:52):
demand and believing in climate change andsupporting an open border. Those things were
cobbled together because they are all inthe intro of the leftist elites. And
so if you're in those leftist leaps, you're like, oh, these are
all my priorities. If you area hard working American, those are not
your priorities. You go issue byissue and say, well, you know,
I'm a Christian, so I wouldnever get an abortion, but I

(18:14):
know somebody who was raped, soI don't want it to be banned.
You say, well, I havea family member who's gay, and I
want them to be treated with dignity. But i have a child in school,
and I'm terrified of the transagenda.Right, you have this month because
the American working class is deeply tolerant, and so that is how they approach
the world. Hold it, holdit, hold it. Then I've got
to bring my other so hold it. Because so the band raises up his

(18:37):
book because these people are all onit. Now again, this woman is
a liberal. But it doesn't matter, I mean, because because now the
labels aren't there anymore. And butby the way, do not and do
not confuse this with no labels.The no labels people are probably just a

(18:59):
wrong bull low Democrats and Republicans asas betrayers of the middle class in America,
these no labels people are as gargoyleyas it gets. These guys care
nothing about real America, and sothey're even worse than Democrats and Republicans.

(19:23):
I mean, it's it's when youput a list of people who belong in
Hell, they're right up there withthe Democrats Republicans. But she nails it
down, and again to my point, I'll tell you one thing. The
next time somebody calls me an extremist, I'm going to breathe fire into their

(19:44):
face because we are not extremists,and don't be afraid to tell people to
bite you if they call you anextremist or even trumpet extremists. You can
make the argument against them, andyou can make the argument that they're the
one ones who hate black people.They're the ones who hate gays, they're
the ones who hate immigrants. They'rethe ones who hate the inner city.

(20:08):
They're the ones who hate school choice. They're the ones who don't acknowledge babies
or babies. They're the ones whodon't acknowledge men or men. These people
are out lying lunatics. And soagain to her point, she quintessentially nails

(20:30):
down what the make America Great agendais, and it is an imperative solution
to the problems that we have.Right now, did you see what happened
when President Trump was elected in twentysixteen. It was as if this ice
flow suddenly was cracked by this batteringmetal ship and he broke through it all

(20:56):
made us oil independent in like fiveThat's something Republicans never did. This is
why they hate him so much.This is why Nicki Haley became a deranged
witch after New Hampshire, because shewas the deep state and the swamp's last

(21:19):
hope. She was the last hopeto find. You. Notice what happened
is Mitch McConnell finally gave up.He wasn't endorsing Trump for a while.
He finally quit because he knew thatthis Nicki Haley thing wasn't gonna happen.

(21:40):
This Nicky Haley run wasn't gonna go. They made one run and they failed,
and now it was little big Horntime and we're gonna take some scalps.
That's really what it's all about.Nicki Haley was like Custer's last stand,

(22:00):
way over. Confident, didn't understandthe numbers of the people surrounding and
on that hill, and they madetheir run and suddenly found themselves surrounded.
You could use a couple of analogies. It doesn't matter whether it's whether it's
the movie Zulu or whether it iswhether it is Battle Little Big Horn.

(22:27):
These people were swamped, they gotcaught, and we had more weapons than
they did, and we ate themalive. That's how it happened, and
they're dead. So, Nikki Haley, a nice try yesterday, as you
tried to act in your imperious,witchy way. Well, I would recommend

(22:51):
that Donald Trump go after my voters. It's like, why don't you and
your voters go to hell? Howdoes that sound? That's a better that's
a better solution for us, becausewe don't need you. You are not
reflective of America. You're not reflectiveof the middle class. You're not reflective
of real America. You're not reflectiveof patriotism. You're reflective of a bunch

(23:15):
of clubby country club elites who wantto maintain your Republican party the way it
is. It's no longer yours goaway. That's how it works. And
so yeah, nice try to pretendthat somehow you have some kind of power

(23:36):
anymore, and you don't. NikkiHaley was an empty dress yesterday. She
knew it. So she came outand played at the opposite, and nobody
was buying it. And again yousaw what happened when they made that run,
and suddenly that's when Mitch Boccado finallysaid, I'm getting out of here.

(23:56):
Yeah, because he wanted to getout before they actually took his head
off. He wanted to get outwith some kind of dignity, which is
something that Nicki Haley unfortunately couldn't.She went out with a total lack of
dignity. She lit her hair onfire, she became an angry, scolding

(24:18):
witch after New Hampshire and embarrassed herself. And she's now in the scrap heap.
So that's it. And again,that's been a lovely thing. Even
CNN I played it for you earlier. Even CNN acknowledged that this is Trump's
party now. And anybody who isn'ton that train can go straight to you

(24:47):
know where, because we're all headingthere, and we've got a bunch of
people who are who have already boughtthe tickets, and a bunch of new
people and we're we're like, we'relike the uh, the train in like
New Delhi, India. You know, everybody piles on top of it and
everything else. So bye, byNikki see you nice try though, nice

(25:11):
try three sixty one oh four.Good morning everybody, and happy happy Thursday.
It's common sense Radio. Jamie Allmanhere with you. And here's a
great example of how the Republican andDemocrat Party, in their iteration as the

(25:33):
elites, really are indistinguishable in anyway, shape or form. You do
remember back in the day, andI didn't. I didn't have time to
call up the actual sound bite,but I played it for you at the
time when the insufferable and contemptible MittRomney stood on the floor of the US
Senate when it came to the Ukrainianaid bill and said, this is the

(25:56):
most important vote we will ever makeas senators. That told you everything about
the priorities of the Republican Party inthe Mitt Romney formulation, and of people
like Mitt Romney who are traders tothis country. So Mitt Romney believed that

(26:18):
a vote about aid to a foreigncountry was the most important vote a US
senator will ever make. That tellsyou everything you need to know about the
betrayal of the middle class and mostof America at the hands of the elites.

(26:41):
That showed you that foreigners were farmore important to Mitt Romney because of
course he's a prostitute for the militaryindustrial complex. Foreigners are more important to
Mitt Romney than you are. Fastforward to the State of the Union Address.
Did Joe Biden invite a black plumberto the say of the Union dress?

(27:07):
Did he invite a minister? Didhe invite I don't know. Did
name name anybody who is just anormal, average, everyday person, No,
he did not. You know whohe invited to the say of the
Union dress? Personally Zelenski's wife.She had the wiseness to not do that,

(27:33):
because that would have been a revolutionarymoment for America to have Zelenski's wife.
They're both a bunch of couple ofgrifters in the Hall of Congress.
Uh, listening to to the president'sState of the Union Address? Uh?

(27:53):
When when it? When it's it'snot an American Donald Trump invites? Uh.
And again, it's not uncommon tomaybe have a foreign here. I
get it. But Donald Trump foundit more important to invite Zelenski's wife than
anybody else on the planet than anyAmerican. That tells you everything you need

(28:18):
to know. These people like Biden, Romney, Nikki Haley, the Republican
Party of that end and the DemocratParty of that end. They are relics.
Their priorities are not the priorities ofmost of America. And it seems
like every day there's some other exampleof of what I'm talking about. If

(28:42):
you go, for instance, tothe city of San Francisco, I'll never
forget Michael Savage used to call itSan Francisco. He lived there, and
this was this was, you know, ten fifteen years ago when he was
using that love Michael Savage. TheSan Francisco citizens voted for police, and

(29:11):
voted for drug tests for people takingpublic assistance, and basically killed off progressivism
on one Tuesday, San Francisco.You might remember back in the day,
there's a little bit of an inklingof this because in twenty twenty two,

(29:32):
the San Franciscans ran out an entireschool board of a bunch of libs.
So they started to get it.But then crime became a real issue,
and it really did start to hurtthe city of San Francisco. And so
if you can imagine, you know, you're an extremist if you're a MAGA

(29:56):
supporter and a Trump support order andyou support the police, right well,
to my point earlier, the extremeposition is to not support the police.
The extreme position is to defund thepolice. The extreme position is to not

(30:18):
attach certain rules to public assistance.That's an extreme position, as evidence by
the fact that even San Franciscans areMaga generation thinkers. So again, don't
apologize for being a MAGA supporter.In fact, in fact, I wouldn't

(30:42):
even call yourself a Maga Republican.Call yourself a mega American, because that's
what it's all about. So,I know, make America great again.
American sounds a little weird, butit's okay. But but but again,
we have more in common, ifyou can imagine, with San Franciscans,

(31:07):
than we do with Nicky Haley andDemocrats and all that kind of thing,
because we're real people, living reallives, and San Francisco has been betrayed
on their own end by Democrat leadership, much as we have been betrayed on
our end by Republican leadership in alot of ways in other issues. So
on Tuesday, they had Measure E, which expanded police powers and allowed police

(31:33):
to use drones and to install surveillancecameras. It won by a margin of
sixty percent to forty. That's prettyfriggin amazing. Sixty percent to forty.
That was not a close That wasnot a close race, that was not

(31:56):
a close nothing. Then they hadMeasure F, which requires drug testing for
those receiving public assistance benefits from thecity that was leading and led by an
even greater margin, sixty three percentto thirty seven percent. That's incredible.

(32:17):
That was swamped by thirty percentage points. Now, I guarantee you if you
talked about drug testing for people receivingpublic assistance just kind of out in the
stratosphere, they would call you anextremist and a maga person and a racist
and everything else. But San Franciscodecided, well, you know what,

(32:39):
you guys can suck it, becausewe're going to take care of our own
community here. And that's the spiritof America, and in fact, that's
even the Maga spirit. San Franciscansare now on board. I've been doing
radio in San Diego for the pastcouple of weeks in the evening time.

(33:01):
San Diego is a great city,and I think California remains a great state
regardless of its leadership. They hada thing called Proposition one it was promoted
by this Charlatan grifter, Gavin Newsom, and it was designed to ease homelessness

(33:22):
and take care of the mentally illand all that kind of stuff. And
Gavin Newsom put it forth as ifit was some kind of very soft,
plush buppy that nobody could deny.It was intoxicating and alluring, all this
money to build these housing units andall this kind of stuff, until,

(33:43):
of course, the mental health industryand the people in California said, this
is terrible because all that you're doingis you're turning you're diverting money from programs
that already exist, and you're makingyour handing out housing contracts to a bunch
of federal contractors who are making bankoff of this thing. And so you're

(34:07):
actually going to be hurting the mentalhealth apparatus that we have here. Why
not just put money already you haveand reorganize it and do it that way.
Why create a whole new layer ofa bureaucracy. This is in California
now. As of last night whenI was on the air, this proposition

(34:28):
p was it fifty to fifty.This was a real indication that Californians were
starting to get it about their liberalgovernment and everything else. I don't know
what's going to happen at fifty tofifty right now. Then at this point
they're going to cheat their way intoa win, and so unfortunately that will

(34:50):
probably happen. But the fact thatit was that close is a sign that
gradually people are starting to get it. Even in California. You already saw
what happened in San Francisco. Peopleare already starting to get it in California
with its propecy to being close.So the outliers right now in this country

(35:13):
are Democrat leftists and Republican weirdos whoare not taking the pillow off of our
faces and refusing to end the suffocation. You see that down in Jefferson City
with these swamp rats down there refusingto give us any relief as it relates

(35:36):
to personal property taxes. But again, as I've said, these Democrats Republicans,
there's no difference between them in termsof how they ill serve American priorities,
and in that case, Californian prioritiesand Missouri priorities. It's the same
thing. And so people are finallystarting to get it. Don't apologize for

(36:05):
being maga because you are more likeeverybody else in America. Congratulations, good
morning everybody, and happy Thursday toall of you. It's all in the
morning, and it's common sense Radio. And of course, Joe Biden continues
to play the part of basic fullon dictator as he has decided that he's

(36:28):
going to go after corporations and companiesand retailers and blame them for the fact
that his economic policies are hurting Americans. We talked about it yesterday where he
enlisted the cookie Monster to go aftershrink flation because it was Joe Biden's position
that somehow the size of an oreois really what's causing you so many problems

(36:52):
at the grocery stores. It's acomplete and total lie. Then he came
up with this idea for a strikeforce. I mean, if you can imagine
this, where he calls a bunchof government goons a strikeforce who are going
to go after what he called unfairand illegal pricing. Now, in America,

(37:19):
there's no such thing as unfair andillegal pricing. I got news for
you. It is what it is. It's based on demand and whether you
want to pay for it or not. And there's no such thing as unfair
pricing. What is that all about. I mean, yeah, you see
things at the grocery store that youdon't think are worth the money, then

(37:42):
don't buy it. It is unfair, but too bad, so sad.
But the government is not responsible formanaging prices at grocery stores or prices of
commodities or anything like that. Now, obviously you do have a certain and
most of them are local gouging laws, that kind of thing where there's a

(38:02):
hurricane or something in some gas stationsells things for seven dollars. But there
are certain elements there. But thisstrikeforce thing is is a load of bologney.
And the government has no business managingor setting prices for commodities for items

(38:24):
that we buy in the store.But it's a deflection of the part of
Joe Biden because he's an evil dictator. This is what third world dictators do.
They go after certain entities that areeasy prey and they figure Americans hate
them, right like you. Nabiscgoes like your enemy. As far as

(38:50):
Joe Biden is concerned, he wantsto make it so because they're making your
cookies smaller. And I said toyou before even they even went after toilet
paper because it was twenty sheep's fewerthan it was a year ago. And
the worst thing about that is thatsomebody actually counted it was I'm sure the
New York Times could have put acrew on investigating the causes of inflation,

(39:17):
but instead they tasked it with countingsheets of toilet paper to go after Charman
uh Koreean sink Pierre was asked aboutthis at the news conference yesterday. So
also for my tweet, I believewe said C is for consumers getting ripped
off, right and uh and thepresident, the president has called on companies

(39:40):
to stop, uh, to stop, you know, taking advantage of Americans.
And this is such bologny because thecompanies shrink flation and all the other
uh, cutting corners and all thatkind of stuff is only because of the
oppressive business environment in this country period. The cost of raw goods is skyrocketed,

(40:04):
the cost of packaging, plastics,you name it, all skyrocketed.
So so these these companies are justtrying to adapt to their own suffering under
inflation. And so this whole thiswhole thing is such a charade. It's
so ridiculous. But it feels goodto most people because they're trying to appeal

(40:28):
to the basis, the basis ofAmerican instincts. Right, Yeah, they
mean their cookies smaller, and andI'm paying it just as much as I
did before for cookies, and they'rethey're smaller, and it's like, you
know, the Grandpa complaint, right. But but but most people, you
know, I'm sure there are peoplewho are annoyed by it, but the
but you know, uh, that'sthat's not the government's job to deal with

(40:53):
that, believe me. Uh.Some prices have gone down and brand name
items, you know why because peoplehave stopped buying them because they're too expensive.
So they they finally go to aShnook's brand or a Deerberg's brand or
a Trader Joe's brand, which,by the way, are the same things

(41:14):
anyway. They just they're they're they'rejust the same as as Trader Joe's has
made a mint out of just simplyrepackaging uh brand name things in victor in
uh in Trader Joe's packaging. Butyeah, so so that's why, so
the prices have gone down, andthat's an organic competition thing. So it's

(41:36):
only it doesn't take long for delMonte to figure out that people are buying
snooks peeled potato tomatoes instead of delMonty wants. They catch on pretty fast
about that. It's like, oh, the sales are down, and then
then that's when they bring the pricesdown to be more competitive with the other
brands. It's really simple. I'ma bird brain when it comes to math

(41:59):
and everything else. And even Iknow this gee whiz by the way one
of the things yesterday they did,I got to find it where. And
these are the kinds of issues thatwe need to talk about, not about
Biden's sanility. I see the reportersspend a lot of time talking about Biden
and his QUE cards. I'm like, excuse me. You guys are in

(42:21):
you guys read from teleprompters. What'sthe difference. Why is he using Q
cards? Says the anchor who readsfrom a teleprompter. It's like, come
on, guys, pick your priorities. Stick with the priorities that matter most
to America. A reporter stands therereading from his notes. Why does Joe

(42:45):
Biden have Q cards? While they'rereading from their notes,
