Speaker 1 (00:00):
A great news. Casey, what's that, Rob, I'm just imagining
that everything is getting more expensive. Oh, it's all in
your head apparently.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah. So Donald Trump he held a campaign style rally yesterday.
He was in Pennsylvania and the point of the rally
was to reassure Americans about the economy. He claimed that
his economic policies, including tariffs, are creating jobs, boosting the
stock market, and also attracting investment. He emphasized that his
(00:29):
priority is making America affordable again.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
But then he got on this what a cost of
living or affordability or whatever, And you know, this has
the makings of you know, when George H. W. Bush
was President of the United States, there was a famous
incident where he goes to supermarket and this is when
(00:53):
the like the use scanners or whatever. It was like
a new thing, right, the scanners did check out and
he goes to the supermarket and he appears totally bewildered
at what this work. The equipment, Yeah, what this thing
is And a lot of people felt that was when
and obviously any had issues with the economy and the
(01:14):
taxes and everything else, but that was the really moment
were started to fall apart. For him because people said,
this guy doesn't understand me, he doesn't understand my life,
Like that's a normal thing that regular people in Middle
America were very familiar with and a daily part of life.
And this guy, you know, who was kind of an
elitist anyway, right, I mean he had a storied you know,
(01:37):
military and government background, was the head of the CIA.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I former director of the CIA, you know, I.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Mean all these things, right, And so it fed into
the narrative and really hurt him. And this this kind
of seems like it could be that moment for Trump
because he appears totally out of step with where regular
people are.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
He was saying that the word affordability is now a
Democrat hoax, so we won't be saying affordability crisis anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Do we have the audio of this, We have part
of his speech.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
He veered off topic a few times, in fact, even
while he was talking about the cost of living, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
And I said it the other day and a lot
of people misinterpreted, They say, oh, he doesn't realize prices
are prices are coming down very substantially. But they have
a new word, you know, they always have a hoax,
The new word is affordability. So they look at the
camera and they say, this election is all about affordability.
(02:31):
Now they never talk about it, they never talk to
thank you very much. They say I'm not allowed to run.
I don't know what the hell that's all about. But
that's okay. He said, four more years, you see the
new hat. We have four more years twenty twenty eight.
We've all sorts of.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay. So the price of everything is very high, sir,
you ran on the price of everything being it's sort
of like Epstein, right, or he ran on the idea
of I'm gonna expose everything Epstein, I'm gonna turn it
all over to you, the American public. And then he
gets in there in the public simply says, hey, you
can't paign on this. When do we get to see
the Epstein? It's ugs ted probably puts you up to it.
(03:20):
It's ogs No, you ran on this. And and now it
seems like he's doing the same thing with the economy,
where he's trying to say, oh, they're just making it up. No, sir,
I'm sorry. I go to the grocery store every week.
I just went the other day. I know what things cost.
I know they're getting more expensive. I know that it's
taking more of my money to buy the same amount
(03:41):
of stuff, and he's insulting people when he's acting like
it's just some made up thing.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
CPI is up three percent year over year Consumer Price
Index and you've got a fifteen percent increase in beef.
Bananas are up seven percent, coffee of twenty percent. CBS
just came out. It's CBS. I know it's CBS, but
they came out with a report and they said, yeah,
across the board, with the exception of gasoline, which has
(04:07):
come down, you're paying more for rent, you're paying more
for groceries, you're paying more for utilities, and you're paying
more for insurance.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
This doesn't matter if it's CBS or the Man in
the Moon that they people are living it. It doesn't
like you don't have to the media doesn't have to
make it up. It's the whole reason Trump won the election.
Biden was trying the same thing. Oh, the economy's great,
or commons are the economies great? If I look at
this stat, look at that side, you're like, the stat
is my life, and my life is showing me that
(04:35):
things aren't better.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Or more affordable.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
And when you are, it's one thing to say, hey,
it's out there and here's what we're doing to try
to fix it. You got to give us some time.
That's one thing. Now I think he's past they give
us some time phase of the presidency. But when you're
insulting people saying this isn't happening, people go, well, yes
it is, sir, And if you don't know what's happening,
how can you fix it?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well, I think the big difference is it's happening to us.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yes, right, No, it's the same whole reason Biden got defeated.
So he's clearly totally out of touch with where the
regular people are on this. And if you're out of
touch with something, you aren't going to be able to
fix it, and that is not going to go well
for him.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Now, something interesting happened because just yesterday we were talking
about some polling numbers and there was a new Reuter's
IPSOS poll that came out, and his overall approval rating
has ticked up. It was between thirty seven and thirty
eight percent, and just today it came out and said
it's a forty one percent. However, the approval on cost
of living is still down at thirty one percent.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Look, the election, as it always is, is going to
be going to be decided almost always. There are some
rare ones in times of national security war where it's different,
but for the most part, elections get decided midterms and
presidential elections get decided on the quality of people's life.
Is it getting better? It's the famous Raking line, are
(05:59):
you better off than you or four years ago? It's
why it's such a famous line, why it lives in
history and will live throughout the remainder of our country's history,
because it's it's true. And if people are not because again,
most people are not as into this as the people
hearing our voice right now. Most people just go about
their lives. They don't think about politics, sometimes until days
(06:21):
or a day or whatever before it's time to vote.
They think about They don't see that their headlines. They
don't get into it. They don't the ideas of extremism
on one side or another. They don't process it. They
just simply go is it better for me? Is it
more affordable for me? Is my family getting ahead? And
if the answers yes, they vote for the people in power.
If the answers. No, they vote for the people out
of power if the people out of power give them
(06:43):
some sort of viable option to that they think will
make things better or even seems plausible.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
So you've got Republican Senator John Kennedy, he's from Louisiana,
and he said that the Congressional Republicans they need to
stop sleepwalking and start pushing their agenda forward.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I think that when the American people speak, you better
listen to them. And I think that we need the
President and the United States Senate need to be working
on things that moms and dads worry about when they
lie down to sleep at night and can't And one
of the things is the cost of living. And what
(07:26):
I'm telling you is there are things we can do
that the President can't do. But in order to do it,
the United States Senate has to get up off it's
ice cold and mazy. But and you can't use the
excuse all the Democrats won't go along with of course
they won't, but we don't need their votes. We can
(07:46):
do it through reconciliation with a simple Republican majority.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Okay, okay, So why is it when he says that
everybody goes. Okay, when I say it, people are like,
he's an ass.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I mean, he just said the.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Thing I've been saying, right that you can't blame when
these are like, we've got to get rid of Carson. Okay,
Carson's a turd in to zero. But Carson has nothing
to do with what's going on in the country right now.
Andre Carson has not been in the majority in the
United States House of Representatives for three years. The vast
majority of his time in the US House, he has
been in the minority. He just said it. Republican Senator
(08:19):
John Kennedy just said the same thing that I say
every single day. It's on the Republicans, and.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It was very similar to what Ron DeSantis said the
other day. The cost of living. That is what is
crushing families, the bills, and it's something that real Americans
face every single day, not the billionaire class.
A great news. Casey, what's that, Rob, I'm just imagining
