1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Pete buddhaj Edge stepped onto the set at CNBC to

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: talk about the economy and he hit a buzzsaw known

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: as Joe Kernin and it was a really fire exchange.

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: We're going to show you the highlights of it. But first,

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: before that interview took place, we got the news that

6
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: the inflation numbers came in and as expected, they ticked

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: up a bit. But there's more to the story than

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: just that. Let's first show you how Fox Business reported it.

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: Expecting this report to look like March consumer Price index

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: month of a month, we got a jump of nine

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: tenths of a percent. That was the expectation going into

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: this report for March year over year headline number three

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: point three percent. Again, that was the expectation. Core month

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: over month two tenths of a percent. We were looking

15
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: for three tenths of a percent. So actually the core

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: month over month coming in just a little bit better

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: than expected.

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Let me explain what that means, all y'all. First of all,

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: when inflation to go up by point nine percent month

20
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: over month, and that is a tick up, which is

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction, but it was expected. Why was

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: it expected, Well, because of energy costs. I mean, that's

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: what happens when you engage in a military action against

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: one of the leading oil reserves in the nation that

25
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: ends up clogging up the Strait of Hormuz. That's why

26
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: it was expected. We sort of knew that going in

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: it will correct itself when the military action is over,

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: and actually could correct in a big way. But here's

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: why the core inflation number was actually down or not

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: up as much as expected. Core inflation takes out food

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: and energy costs. So if you take out energy costs

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: and then food costs, which is directly related to energy costs,

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: actually inflation got better, all right. So it's a mixed bag,

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: but honestly much better than it could have been. So

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: what was the analysis? While Nancy Pelosi that financial genius,

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: she doesn't actually know much about the economy when it

37
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: doesn't involve inside training on stocks that she's buying. But

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: here's what she said. She tweeted out the New York

39
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: Times headline, a record jump in US gasoline prices is

40
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: squeezing consumers, and then she says gas prices are rising

41
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: faster than ever, inflation is surging, and America's working families

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: are bearing the cost of the president's reckless war, but

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Republicans just don't care. I feel like

44
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: I must inform you that though gas prices are high,

45
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: and yes there was an increase in inflation, but again

46
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: not as bad as expected. We are nowhere near the

47
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: disaster that was the middle of the Biden administration when

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and her pals were saying, oh, there's no inflation,

49
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: or if there is, it's just transitory. It's not really,

50
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: everything's fine, don't worry about it. That was basically exactly

51
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: four years ago today. But this is a nightmare, and

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: Nancy is not the only one. Chuck Schumer also pointed

53
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: it out, but he made a slight error in retweeting

54
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: this post. See Heather Long, a economist and analyst for

55
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: the Economy, tweeted out the latest numbers on inflation, and

56
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, I guess, without looking, said skyrocketing inflation, the

57
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: highest in years, all because of Donald Trump's unnecessary, you planned,

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: reckless war of choice. Every war is a war of choice.

59
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: It's another reason we must end this war now. Americans

60
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: are paying the price for Trump's idiocy every day. I

61
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: just point out something really fast because I know a

62
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: lot of you are probably on the fence with the

63
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: military action in Iran and everything. You're not sure what

64
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: to believe, and you're not sure who's that as this

65
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: influencer said this, and that influencer. But my heart knows

66
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: that Iran is the bad guy, and if we have

67
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: an opportunity to actually fix the problem and neutralize that threat,

68
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. But these people that I respect

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: over here suddenly think it's terrible. I know you're confused,

70
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: all right. Heck, sometimes I get confused by the news

71
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: of the day. It's always best to go back to

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: your core principles and think through what you've always believed

73
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: and why you've always believed it. And then if you're

74
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: still confused, look at the people that you know you

75
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: disagree with, look at the people who are always wrong

76
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: about everything, and find out where they stand. Chuck Schumer

77
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: demands that this war be stopped. Now, what does that

78
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: tell you? It tells me that if in fact President

79
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Trump can successfully execute with his team Rubio and Vance

80
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: and Hegseth and the whole team, if they can successfully

81
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: execute this military mission in the Middle East that is

82
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: only five weeks old, and they can actually come out

83
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: on the other side of it successfully. That's bad for Chuck.

84
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: Hopefully that'll crystallize your position on this. But back to

85
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer's tweet, it's another reason we must have those

86
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: word today. Americans are paying the price for Trump's ideac

87
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: every day. And he tweeted this chart that he says

88
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: show sky rocketing inflation. And he's right, it does show

89
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: skyrocketing inflation. Here's the problem. The skyrocketing inflation that actually

90
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: was announced today.

91
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 3: Is all the way over here, in this little, last,

92
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 3: little half a centimeter, all the way to the right

93
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 3: of your screen, where the red line darts up three

94
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: point three percent, which is a point nine percent increase,

95
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 3: almost one full percentage point.

96
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: The problem with Chuck Schumer tweeting out this chart to

97
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: show how inflation is skyrocketing under Trump is not that little,

98
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, kind of witty, little pinky sort of nub

99
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: at the end. No, no, no, it's this giant mountain,

100
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: this mount everest of inflation right there where your eye

101
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: goes in the middle of the chart. That ain't Trump,

102
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: that's the middle of the Biden President. And see, in fact,

103
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,119
Speaker 1: this entire mountain starts right at the beginning of twenty

104
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: twenty one. What happened in January of twenty twenty one.

105
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Joe Biden was sworn into office. And then

106
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: it just climbs and climbs and climbs and climbs and climbs,

107
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: and then all these starts to come down when Donald

108
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: Trump is running for president. So, Chuck, you might want

109
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: to look at the actual data that you're about to

110
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: tweet out before you scream about highest inflation ever, because

111
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: it ain't pal not even clothes. That's absolutely remarkable. What

112
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: a great cell phone. Meanwhile, they're not the only idiots

113
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: out there. Gavin Newsom's office said, while America suffers, Chevron profits,

114
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: tweeting out this little paragraph from Reuter's. Chevron said on

115
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Thursday it expected first quarter upstream earnings to rise between

116
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: one point six billion and two point two billion from

117
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: the previous quarter, fueled by higher oil prices due to

118
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: the IRN war, though so an impact from hedging could

119
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: weigh on results. Now that's really damning, isn't it. Look

120
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: at that all these high oil prices, all these high

121
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: gas prices, and Gavin Newsom is outraged by it. Outraged,

122
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: I tell you, Thank God for X and their community

123
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: notes because it's a good one. The state of California

124
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: collects more in taxes per gallon of gasoline than refineries

125
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: such as Chevron, Shell or Valero collecting profit per gallon.

126
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: In other words, Chevron might be showing a bit of

127
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: a profit here because of the higher oil prices, but

128
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: ain't nothing compared to how much money Gaviy Newsom's making

129
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: for the state of California because of his high gas

130
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: taxes at Chevron only dreams that they had the markup

131
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: on oil and gas the Gavin Newsome demands on his

132
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: taxes per gallon. You see, the tax in California on

133
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: a gallon of gas isn't a flat you know, two

134
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: dollars per out No no, no, no, no no, it's scales. So

135
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: as the price of as goes up, they make more taxes.

136
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Gavin profits more than anyone else or his party. Amazing. Meanwhile,

137
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: that brings us to Pete Buodha Judge with Joe Kernan,

138
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: as promised on CNBC, I'm just gonna let you watch

139
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: this play out because pee Boot digit I'm always told

140
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: pee boota judge. You know he's great, And I'll admit it.

141
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: He's got a bit of a superpower here. He is

142
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: willing to go in and engage in an interview, and

143
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: he pushes back, and he's click on his feet, and

144
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: he's got sharp answers, and he's a good communicator. The

145
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: problem is most of the people that interview him and

146
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: engage with him, they're just so dazzled by him and

147
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: they can't actually push back, and they don't actually listen

148
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: to the words he says. Joe Kernan not so much.

149
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: And Joe was ready.

150
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 4: I understand that. Now. Look, I'm saying, this is somebody

151
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: who knows what it's like to be sent to war

152
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 4: by a US president. And when a president sends you

153
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 4: to war, when you and your buddies are on that

154
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 4: great tail plane going into a war zone, you do

155
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,479
Speaker 4: it with some level of confidence, some level of assurance

156
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: that your chain of command in the United States it

157
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 4: wouldn't sound like this now that we're there.

158
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 5: Do you hope this has a successful outcome? There were

159
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 5: forty thousand Iranians that were slaughtered by the same regime,

160
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 5: and the second years of killing Americans stirring trouble all

161
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 5: around the world.

162
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 4: How do you feel about that? Regime being left intact

163
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 4: by this president. That's going to be the case, and

164
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 4: I don't know what might happen. Is an argument? Is

165
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 4: that an argument?

166
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 5: So you don't want this to work and it was

167
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 5: just a bad move.

168
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: You want us to pull out now.

169
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: Look, there's no obvious way out now. But I want

170
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: to make sure that this ends in a way that,

171
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 4: first of all, our economy can recover that that we're

172
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 4: not paying so much for gas. I mean right now,

173
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 4: oils one hundred bucks jet fuels two hundred bucks, gases

174
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 4: over four bucks, diesels average a three eighty. Under Biden

175
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 4: for four years, and when we left, inflation was lower

176
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 4: than it is.

177
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 5: To thank you, you accounted for twenty one pricing.

178
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 4: This president took in the inflation his president's two on air.

179
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: You saw the numbers just come out. It's more than

180
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 4: three percent. You're on air.

181
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 5: Okay, there's act it is.

182
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: The math is direct.

183
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: Looks months from two seven to three percent. It's higher

184
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: than when he got about nine percent. His central campaign

185
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 4: promise was he was going to take inflation and drive

186
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: it down, and instead he I thought that in the

187
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: three when he got here, and now it's more. It

188
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 4: could not be simpler than that.

189
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 5: It's around three and we're involved in a war.

190
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 4: He said on day one it would go down. He

191
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 4: came in on day one, and now it's up. It's

192
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 4: up to three percent. It was twenty one and a

193
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: half percent. It would go down four years.

194
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: Over four years, it.

195
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 4: Was twenty one and a half percent.

196
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 5: When you own, democrats own the affordability.

197
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: Listen to the period. Why did the president fail?

198
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 5: You don't think democrats the affordability crisis?

199
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 4: Why did the president fail to keep his promise to

200
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 4: lower prices?

201
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 6: In your opinion, I'm laughing because this is this piece

202
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 6: of it is basic. The president did say that he

203
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 6: was he wanted to be in office to bring inflation down,

204
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 6: and he has not brought inflation down, that's all.

205
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: He drove it up. He not only failed, he drove

206
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 4: it up. Mister sacred, Hey, let's talk.

207
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 5: Have had a minimal, A minimal.

208
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 4: You tell a family where I lived, one thousand dollars

209
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 4: per household is minimal from the twenty one.

210
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: By the way, just a couple of things here and

211
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: I'll let it finish, because again, Buddha Judge always gets

212
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: great credit and great kudos for what you're seeing him

213
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: do right here right, Very rarely does he get any pushback,

214
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: and of course you saw the assists from other people

215
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: on the table, so it ends up being a three

216
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: on one. But let's just be clear here, all of

217
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: the anger and vitriol and outrage was never directed toward

218
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: the last presidency that drove inflation sky high, as Curtain

219
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: just pointed out, twenty one percent over the course of

220
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: four years. His anger is not the prices have not

221
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: gone down faster, and by the way, prices on a

222
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: lot of things have gone down, but not everything. His

223
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: anger or the point he's trying to make is well,

224
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: ha ha. Trump said it would go down and it hasn't.

225
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: So there you go, which is not actually a policy

226
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: or position that would help the American people or do

227
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: anything to bring prices down in and of themselves. It's

228
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: just some kind of weak need Trump own, right. And

229
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: so it's funny buddhaj Edge. When he first came on

230
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: the scene in twenty twenty and was running for the nomination,

231
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: he had this sort of weird, nerdy charm about him

232
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: for many people, not for me, but for many people,

233
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: where they looked at him and they saw that you know,

234
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: really nice gay cousin or nephew that always comes to

235
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: the family reunions and he's always so charming and nice

236
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: and he's got his act together and he's got a

237
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: good job and ah johs. I just I'm always nice

238
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: to have him around. It makes me feel good about

239
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: myself to have a nice, inoffensive gay nephew or gay cousin, right,

240
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: and that's just great, good for you and good for

241
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: me for being okay with you. It was one of

242
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: those things right where everyone feels good about it. It's like, oh,

243
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: I love gay people. I'll vote for Pete boodhajetge right,

244
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, okay, how do you feel about

245
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: the drag queens marching and fishnets down the street of

246
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: your city on Gay Pride Day in front of children?

247
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: Oh that's different, that's very different.

248
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 4: Right.

249
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: So here he was like the gateway drug, right, and

250
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: it was fine. Everybody saw him and it was like, oh,

251
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: is't that nice? He seems like a nice guy. I

252
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: like him. He makes me feel good right now. Based

253
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: on this performance here, he is pushing through that persona

254
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: and he is now becoming the smart ass, the smart

255
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: ass know it all when the family dinner, you know, Thanksgiving,

256
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: where yes, there's your gay nephew, you know, and everybody's

257
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: nice and it's fine. He's like, oh, what's going on

258
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: in college? Oh good, feel you got a job now?

259
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: All that's wonderful. But then the end of the night,

260
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: everyone's had a lot of wine, you start debating about something,

261
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: and that really nice gay nephew suddenly becomes a smarmy,

262
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: smart ass, know it all, who acts a little more,

263
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, superior than he should given his age, given

264
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: his experience, and given the basic respect that he should

265
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: be showing you as his uncle. Right, that's this bootpoota judge.

266
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: This is not the Buddha jedge that is going to

267
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: do well in politics when you go from the nice,

268
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: friendly gay nephew to the smart ass, get out of

269
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: my face gay nephew. All right, So to watch him finish.

270
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: And by the way, just so you know, he's not

271
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: presenting any positive alternative. All he's doing is Trump said this,

272
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: and now he didn't. So there you go, ha ha ha.

273
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: Trump is owned and he needs to remember that he's

274
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: not running against Donald Trump. If he's runn for president,

275
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: No he's not, is he one?

276
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 5: And a half percent increase that you're the Democrats.

277
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 4: We can we can argue all day about just how

278
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 4: bad COVID was and how bad it got and what

279
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 4: it took from that, but you call it where I live,

280
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: one thousand bucks per household isn't minimal.

281
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 5: Now you've found now Democrats found religion on inflation after

282
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 5: presiding over the worst inflation in forty years.

283
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: Now you found it's twenty twenty six. They're in charge.

284
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 4: That you guys are in charge.

285
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 5: I'm aware.

286
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 4: Are you going to do differently? What are you going

287
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: to do differently to make the prices actually go down?

288
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: Like your promise?

289
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 5: Your number one, we got to get through this war.

290
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 4: And you've heard people going to get through this war.

291
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 4: We didn't have to be fighting this war. What would

292
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 4: we do? That's a matter of opinion. You can't say that.

293
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: It's a matter of opinion that I share with most

294
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 4: Americans and a large number of Republicans and a whole

295
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 4: bunch of mag of people who bought into this president

296
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 4: because actually believe.

297
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: That Republican approval for the war.

298
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: You don't start with the approval you have within your

299
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 4: own party. But the point is the maga collrats an't

300
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 4: going to approve. I'm talking about Americans. Americans disapprove.

301
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: Do you say, oh, what he did? Right? He tried

302
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: to make this smarmy little point about you know, even

303
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: Mega is divided over this, and Joe Crennan says, no,

304
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: it's not you get ninety plus percent, and he says,

305
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: you don't start with your Republicans. I'm talking about American

306
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: It's like, no, dude, you just said Mega, So don't

307
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: like try to make that shot. And then as soon

308
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: as you're challenged on it, you know, with facts, you

309
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: then dodge and jump and say that's not what I

310
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: was saying. No, that's literally what you were saying. But again,

311
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: he's really nicely packaged. Now bearded or technically mustachioed. What

312
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: is going on there? So he's like trimmed down the

313
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: beard and just has stubble, but he's sticking with the stash,

314
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: and he's a man in search of a look and identity,

315
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: and I think he's got something going on that makes

316
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: him not entirely comfortable in his own skin. But he's

317
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: really just a neatly packaged, well well financed and polished

318
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: bundle of talking points. And as soon as you challenge

319
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: one of the talking points, to try to just dig

320
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: a little deeper than just two sentences that he's memorized

321
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: in front of his bathroom mirror before he got to

322
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: the set. He has to move along and bring up

323
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: something else. It's like he's got ADHD or something. It's like, oh, okay,

324
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: you want to talk about that, Well, let's talk about

325
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: his MEGA support, because I don't think MEGA is divided

326
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: in fact postop. But I wasn't saying that, let's talk

327
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: about this, and now he moves on. You can see

328
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: what he does, right. I just want to make sure

329
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: you see it the way I see it, because the

330
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: guy's a fraud, an obnoxious, smart ass fraud.

331
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 4: Of the president and their right to do so.

332
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 5: He's got the same approval rating other presidents have had

333
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 5: at this point in the term for a little bit above.

334
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 4: Right now is unpopular for very good reasons.

335
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 5: One of which is no more than Obama was or

336
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 5: Biden was at the same term, at the same point

337
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 5: of his presidency.

338
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 4: That depends on which poles you're looking at, but by

339
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 4: and large, no, I'm sorry, but like I've been out

340
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 4: on the trail I was in Marjorie Taylor Green's district.

341
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor Green, this is a Trump plus thirty eight district,

342
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 4: was i've we have five hundred people.

343
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 5: You will get a chance to prove that in November

344
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 5: this year.

345
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 4: We had a chance to prove last week show. I

346
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 4: understand that, yeah, because people are Presidents.

347
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 5: Make difficult decisions, obviously, Yeah, but.

348
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 4: Usually they make difficult decisions to try to make other

349
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 4: people better off. This president's made decisions to make himself

350
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 4: better off. That's definitely happened. If you're the kind of

351
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 4: person who can pay a million bucks for the entry

352
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 4: fee of mar Lago, then you're doing great. But everybody

353
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 4: else is hurting right.

354
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: Now, You see what I mean to just bounce from

355
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: talking point to talking point to talking point, and it's

356
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: just it's maddening when you look at it, and when

357
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: you know the truth and you know the facts, and

358
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: if you're like me, you're shouting back at the television,

359
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: which I do. But thankfully I have this show so

360
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 1: I can just shout back at the television and you

361
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: can hear it. Right. And by the way, I was

362
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: in Marjorie Taylor Greens District. This is a Republican plus

363
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: thirty eight district and I got five hundred people, five

364
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: hundred people. Dude, you know your average congressional district is

365
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: what about four hundred and forty thousand. I think I

366
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: think that's how it breaks down each congressional district. In

367
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: fact check me on that. But I believe the population

368
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: of the average congressional district is four hundred and thirty

369
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: some odd thousand people. So even in a Republican plus

370
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: thirty eight district, you should be able to get five hundred,

371
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: five hundred diehard losers with blue hair and nose rings

372
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: who will come out and say, I love Pete, he's great. Really,

373
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: why what has he done well?

374
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 4: He?

375
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: I love Pete, He's great? Yeay is Oh? By the way,

376
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: one other thing, as we're making our political points about inflation,

377
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: as Democrats like to do what Pete Buddha Jet just

378
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: did and said that Trump is a disaster for inflation

379
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: and affordability and everything. And we go back and we

380
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: look at Chuck Schumer's chart with the mountain and we

381
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: rightfully say, dude, you have no standing to talk about

382
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: inflation because of look at what happened under Biden. We'll

383
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: watch this. This is a new one. I hadn't heard

384
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: this one last night, Abby Phillips CNN.

385
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: Inflation that occurred under Biden was in part naturally occurring

386
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: to the supply chain bottlenecks and because the COVID wance

387
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: in the lifetime time pandemic occurred. And yes it occurred. Yeah, okay,

388
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: well because of supply chain bottlenecks.

389
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about. There was of the president's.

390
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: Real fast, naturally occurring inflation because of supply chain bottlenecks,

391
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: which listen, that's not naturally occurring, number one, But she

392
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: is right, there were supply chain bottlenecks. And those supply

393
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: chain bottlenecks. I don't know if you remember, but we

394
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: had we had cargo ships sitting outside of our major

395
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: ports in Long Beach, San Pedro, in Los Angeles, in Florida,

396
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: New York, various places mostly on the West Coast, coming

397
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: from China where ships couldn't get in. The supply chain

398
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,239
Speaker 1: was stifled. They were trying to offload all of their

399
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: cargo so we couldn't and that that did increase contribute

400
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: to inflation. And she's right about that, that's not naturally occurring.

401
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: Though guess who was the second Acio Transportation, who oversaw

402
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: our our ports and all of those bottle deecks for

403
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: our supply chain and the railways and everything else that

404
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: is part of the Secretary Transportation's perview. Pete Boodha, judge,

405
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: Pete Bodha judge. But yeah, it was naturally occurring inflation.

406
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 7: I know all of human history started in January of

407
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 7: this year, but I could take you back four years

408
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 7: when input prices for agriculture, from fuel to materials to.

409
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: You name it went through the roof.

410
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 7: I know you know a little something about it because

411
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 7: you worked under Joe Biden when it all happened. So

412
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 7: these farmers, they're in a ten month period here with Trump,

413
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 7: but they just came out of a four month period

414
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 7: where they were dying under the inflationary and affordability crisis

415
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 7: caused by Democrats. They support this president, they like what

416
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 7: he did today, and they're going to give him a

417
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 7: little latitude to get out of it.

418
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 4: I don't think that's accurate when you hear from farm dearers,

419
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 4: you don't think. I'm sorry.

420
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 7: If you look at the FED survey, people are happy

421
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 7: and excited about the job market and a labor market

422
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 7: in the United States.

423
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: That's a good thing.

424
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 7: And if you talk to Scott Bessett, he'll tell you

425
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 7: that they think in twenty twenty six we're going to

426
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 7: see a boom in jobs and growth in this country

427
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 7: thanks to some of the structural changes they made this year.

428
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 7: So they're expressing optimism and exuding optimism and that's what

429
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 7: they got to do going into an election.

430
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: Yep, that's some classic Scott Jennings pushing back on all

431
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: of the notions about inflation and where the economy is

432
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: right now. And that's Scott Jennings. He's pretty good. In fact,

433
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: he's so good you could probably check out Larrycruse dot

434

Speaker 1: com and go on a cruise with me and Scott

435
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,720
