1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: There was a new study done and they put out

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: three charts, and what the charts said was that there

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: are affordability issues that Americans worry about the most, and

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: they divided them up into three different categories. One was

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: food prices, the other housing, and finally healthcare costs. So

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: when it comes to food prices, there are certain foods

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: such as ground beef and coffee, and they have continued

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: to rise even with inflation slowing down.

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: You've got grocery prices.

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: That remain a persistent burden for many families.

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 3: And this is, you know, part of one of the

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 3: big problems with Trump's speech last night is, of course

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: everything's great. Everything's great, there are no problems. Everything's wonderful

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: in the world. And by the way, I have one

15
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: affordability and the economy is doing fantastic.

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 4: And the problemwering economy is what he called that, right,

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 4: And the problem comes down to, well that you know,

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 4: there are huge swaths of Americans in this country who

19
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 4: that's just not true for.

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: And that's really where Trump's problem is. Is that when

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 3: you sit here and tell me that things are great,

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: remember classic Joe Biden, inflation is transitory. When you sit

23
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 3: here Oh that hurts, and just flat out lie to me,

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: Then that becomes a problem because then I'm not going

25
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 3: to believe anything else. You're gonna say, you're just putting

26
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: on these rose colored glasses when I'm having trouble paying

27
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: my bills, I'm having trouble going to the grocery store,

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 3: and my groceries are thirty to forty percent more expensive

29
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: than they were just a few years ago.

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: Would you rather be gas lit by Joe Biden or

31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 2: by Donald Trump? Because I felt like when Joe Biden

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: was saying.

33
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: It inflation is transitory, Oh that pains me to say,

34
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: you knew he was lying.

35
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: When Donald Trump says, oh, the economy is roaring.

36
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: He's talking about the stock market, he's not talking about

37
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: wages and everyday costs.

38
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's semantics there. And I disagree with the premise

39
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: that I have only those two choices. They're both, you know,

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: absolutely not true. And it's typical politicians trying to give

41
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: us a line of bull that we know for a

42
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: fact isn't true. And there are you know, and again,

43
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: I eventually the Republicans and Trump are going to have

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: to do something about affordability in this country. Eventually that

45
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: will catch up with them, and it may be as

46
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: soon as nine months from now in the midterms.

47
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: The other thing in this chart that many Americans worry

48
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: about the most housing. Large majority of Americans say it's

49
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: harder to buy a home today than for previous generations.

50
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, kidding.

51
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Now, Trump did have that proposal like banning institutional investors

52
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: from buying single family homes, and he said that mortgage

53
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: prices are down lower than they've been in years.

54
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: I haven't looked. I haven't looked for a while, but

55
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: I think it has gone down.

56
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: Well, he may mean mortgage rates are down, you know,

57
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: but there is no price to a mortgage necessarily. There's

58
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: the price of your mortgage, what your mortgage payment is.

59
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 3: And so I'm going to assume that Donald Trump is

60
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: talking about that. But the Republicans in Trump have got

61
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 3: to get a grip on this affordability. We saw that.

62
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: We talked about those numbers yesterday. Fifty seven percent of

63
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 3: the Americans say affordability in the economy is the number

64
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: one issue, and I think second place was at fourteen percent.

65
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 3: There is one issue on Americans minds, one and one only.

66
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: And I'll give Trump some credit. A number of things

67
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 3: that were lower down on that list that Americans care

68
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: about are really problems that Trump has for the most

69
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: part solved. Immigration.

70
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: Well, that's why it's not a worry anymore.

71
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 3: Right exactly, So I want to give Trump credit where

72
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 3: it's due. Immigration. Shut down the border. Awesome, He said

73
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: he was going to do it. He did it with

74
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: an executive order, proving that Biden didn't need some law

75
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: passed by Congress that the president alone could shut down

76
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: the border. And Trump did it. Wonderful, fantastic, crime crime,

77
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: violent crime and murders at an all time low, which

78
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: is just a crazy number to think about. By the way,

79
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: those statistics go back over one hundred years to the

80
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 3: early nineteen hundreds. Violent crime and murders at an all

81
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: time low, probably because we shut the border down. Great,

82
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: Trump talk about that, But when you get to this

83
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: economy talk and you talk about how everything is great

84
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: and we're bringing jobs and our economy is roaring and

85
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: everything's wonderful and fantastic, the American people know that many

86
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: American people, I should say, know that that is just

87
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: a bunch of bs. And the Republicans have got to

88
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: get something done about this. And it just doesn't seem

89
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: to be a whole lot of movement. Seems to be

90
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: a lot of talk. There's a lot of chatter. It's

91
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: a lot of things that we want to do, a

92
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: lot of things that would take Congress to actually pass

93
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: a law to help fix, which I haven't been doing

94
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: a whole lot of talk, but it just is killing

95
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: Americans right now. With the affordability issue.

96
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: The last area that Americans worry about the most, and

97
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: this is according to CNBC, is health insurance premiums and

98
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: out of pocket costs.

99
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: They continue to climb. And even though.

100
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: There are these new initiatives to lower drug prices and

101
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: remove the mettlement.

102
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: And I think this is part of what is why

103
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 3: this is easily the number one issue for Americans, and

104
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: Americans are so frustrated on it is because we're getting

105
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: hit from all ends. Like I can't think of one

106
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: aspect where you can sit here and say, yeah, okay, yeah,

107
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: that's gotten a lot better. When it comes to affordability,

108
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: it just hasn't. Housing still totally unaffordable. Taxes, especially property

109
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 3: taxes for most people in this country, just keep going

110
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 3: up because of course they're tied to the assessment and

111
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: the value of your home energy prices, those ain't going down,

112
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: in fact, they're going in the opposite direction, and really quickly.

113
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: And healthcare, not only when it comes to health insurance,

114
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 3: but then you're out of pocket that you're paying to

115
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: use that health insurance. It seems like the average American

116
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 3: is just getting hit on all sides, grocery prices, everywhere,

117
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 3: when it comes to affordability,
