1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,239 Speaker 1: It is big news. 2 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 2: The White House is unveiling a new healthcare framework they 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 2: say will lower costs for all Americans. This after the 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 2: debacle that was exposed during the government shutdown of just 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 2: how much money we are spending to subsidize the Affordable 6 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: Care Act, which is anything but affordable. The Trump White House, 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: were now being told, is expected to unveil a healthcare 8 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 2: policy framework that not only would lower costs, but also 9 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 2: extend expiring Obamacare subsidies while they figure out how to 10 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 2: move forward. 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: Ms Now and. 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 2: Politico reported both that the healthcare policy framework would include 13 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: a two year extension of the expiring Enhanced Premium tax credits. 14 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: Those are the subsidies that you're paying for. Yes, Obamacare 15 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 2: is not cheap at all. It did not make things 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: more affordable at all. 17 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: In fact, it. 18 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: Made the healthcare insurance providers rich at the expense of you, 19 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: the tax payer. We also know that they will be 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: enhanced to Obamacare subsidies, which would otherwise expire at the 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: end of the year. The proposal could be unveiled as 22 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: early as this coming Monday. 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: A White House. 24 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: Spokesman declined to confirm the details of the plan, stating 25 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: quote until President Trump makes an announcement himself. Any reporting about 26 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: the administration's health care positions is mere speculation. 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,919 Speaker 1: But here's what we are learning through background. 28 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: The plan apparently with lower limits on income eligibility for credits, 29 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 2: and that would save American taxpayers a significant amount of money. 30 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: It would also, I'm being told, set minimum premium payments 31 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: as well. According to multiple reports, the proposed eligibility cap 32 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: would set the subsidies to seven hundred percent of the 33 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: federal poverty line. Republicans have complained that with the Colone 34 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: Obama here in hand subsis scheme, wealthy Americans would benefit 35 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: from the subseason what was meant to be only temporary. 36 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: Why were they temporary? 37 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: It was during the COVID nineteen coronavirus outbreak when they 38 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 2: had these extra benefits that now Democrats want to make 39 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: well last forever, which is insane. The White House plan 40 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: also would urge Congress to fund cost sharing reductions and plans, 41 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 2: which Republicans pushed for in the Big Beautiful Bill, but 42 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 2: were next after Senate Democrats objected to its inclusion in 43 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 2: Trump's landmark legislation, believing it violated rules on budgetary reconciliation. 44 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: They claimed now here's the other part that's very interesting 45 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: about this. The Congressional Budget Office found that these healthcare 46 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: reforms would have lowered healthcare premiums by twelve point seven 47 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: percent and reduced costs by decreasing the need for Obamacare 48 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 2: and the welfare of the government for the epcts known 49 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: as the subsidies for Obamacare. The plans would have also 50 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: lowered the costs if this CRS plan would have been 51 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: put into effect by thirty point eight billion dollars. Now 52 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: that's literally thirty point eight billion dollars. It would have 53 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: saved you the tax payer, and that is exactly why 54 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: Democrats were against it. Now, the Trump proposal would also 55 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: have part of their tax credits go straight to Americans 56 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: via tax advantage savings accounts instead of the checks going 57 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: directly to healthcare insurance companies that are getting rich to 58 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: lower America's premium indirectly, the President probably would like to 59 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: go bigger. Then the Hill has the appetite four So 60 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: we'll have to see how that. 61 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: You know, how it works out. 62 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: Is what the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, James 63 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: Blair said last week talking about the reforms that need 64 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: to be made. What we also know is the White 65 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 2: House WT Chief of Staff saying that President Trump would 66 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: love to push for healthcare reform in a way that 67 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: would be meaningful, saying, quote, we're going to have to 68 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: have the healthcare conversation. We're going to put some legislation forward. 69 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: The w chiefs said there could be interest in bi 70 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: Parson reform. However, he said if that path is foreclosed, 71 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: there is the Parson path of reconciliation as well. The 72 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: President probably would like to go big because there needs 73 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: to be big reforms. Republican lawmakers have said they believe 74 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 2: the White House will release a framework to lower health 75 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: insurance costs, expand health savings accounts, and scrap parts of 76 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: the Affordable Care Act that are just flat out unsustainable. 77 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: In fact, which of the Obamacare program is unsustainable without 78 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: record tax dollars going to prop it up? As I 79 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, there's nothing affordable about the Affordable Care Act now. 80 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 2: The White House also signaled that the President's interest in 81 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: healthcare reform is something he believes could be a massive 82 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 2: change for the American people. A slide deck shared by 83 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: the House Majority Leader Stieve Skalise this last week made 84 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 2: it clear that House GOP leadership also falls in the 85 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 2: overhaul camp. One slide that was viewed by Politico was 86 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: titled the Unaffordable Care Act and highlighted statistics that show 87 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 2: the premiums have increased by eighty percent since the ACA 88 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: passage AKA since Obamacare became law. It also claimed that 89 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: more than fifty percent of Obamacare and rollees did not 90 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: file a single claim this year. Walking into the meeting, school, 91 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 2: he said in a brief interview that he planned to 92 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 2: keep talking with the chairs of three key committees of 93 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: jurisdiction over health policy. That would be Ways and Means, 94 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 2: Energy and Commerce, Education, and the workforce. Now, healthcare became 95 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: a focal point in the national politics as Democrats shut 96 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 2: the government down, as I mentioned earlier for weeks over 97 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 2: what they described as mandatory Obamacare subsidies. They were not mandatory. 98 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 2: They were enhanced during COVID and they will expire on purpose. 99 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 2: The Democrats planned this way at the end of the year. 100 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: Democrats first enhanced these substies through one point nine trillion 101 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 2: let me say that again, one point nine trillion in 102 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 2: coronavirus era stimulus plans, including the American Rescue Plan. They 103 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: continue the subseas through the end of twenty twenty five 104 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: with the so called Inflation Reduction Act that did anything 105 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 2: but that. Trump weighed in on the issues, stating that 106 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 2: healthcare dollars should go directly to the American people instead 107 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: of through subsidies to health insurance companies, saying it this 108 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 2: way on social media, quote, the only healthcare I will 109 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: support or approve is sending the money directly back to 110 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: the people, with nothing going to the big, fat rich 111 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: insurance companies who have made trillions and ripped off America. 112 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: Long enough, the people will be allowed to negotiate and 113 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: by their own much better insurance. Power to the people. Congress, 114 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: do not waste your time and energy on anything else. 115 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: This is the only way to have great health care 116 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 2: in America. The Republican Set of Community chairman said that 117 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: a second reconciliation bill should address affordability, which should include 118 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 2: healthcare reform, saying the Democrats are incapable of coming up 119 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: with a plan that is competitive, transparent, and actually reduces costs. 120 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: Whine because they're lining the pockets of their friends in 121 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: the healthcare provider industry, and they know that as long 122 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: as the government's willing to send them the check. They 123 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: get rich every single time the money comes into their accounts. 124 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: This also just goes back to consumer choice and freedom. 125 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: The President believes that you, as an American, deserve to 126 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 2: have your money and then you can put it to 127 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: work the way that you decide to do it, in 128 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: a more responsible manner than the corruption of the government. 129 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 2: Doctor Mark Siegel on Fox News Channel talking about exactly this, 130 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: and here is what he had to say on Fox 131 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: News Sunday. 132 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 3: But I can't get your treatments. 133 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 4: What about this idea that the President has floated about 134 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 4: the money that flows into a lot of these subsidies 135 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 4: instead of paying the insurance companies, going direct to the 136 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 4: consumer and letting them take the money with them where 137 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 4: they choose. 138 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: He's gotten a lot of for that, but he's on 139 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 3: the right track because it would give the consumer more 140 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 3: control of the situation. Health savings accounts are part of this. 141 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: Being able to buy your own insurance, making it affordable 142 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 3: and you choose a marketplace idea. It's more, it's not 143 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: quite that simple. That's a huge step in the right direction. 144 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 4: Well, what are your odds? Do you so? 145 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 2: At the end of the day, there are two options. 146 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: Either you as an American, say no, no, no government, Just 147 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: be in charge of my life. Doesn't matter how much 148 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 2: it costs. Just you be in charge of my health care. 149 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: Or there's the Donald Trump plan, which is he believes 150 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: that you, as an American, should decide what is best 151 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 2: for you, that you should spend your money in a 152 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: way that is well more responsible than what the government 153 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 2: does each and every day. And he believes that prices 154 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: will lower significantly if you do it that way. I 155 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: think many Americans have made it clear that they like 156 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: the way the President is describing this and the amount 157 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: of corruption that we are witnessing from those in the 158 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: Democratic Party and in governm who are overspending your tax 159 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: tours and what are you actually getting in return? Not 160 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: a lot for your money. And that's where we are today. 161 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 2: There is a lot of anger at the moment by 162 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 2: the radical left, a demand by the name of Senater 163 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: Tommy Tuberville. Why because Tommy Tuverville is using logic and 164 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 2: common sense on something that is actually pretty important, transportation center. 165 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 2: Tommy Teverville is now pushing an Uber Act that would 166 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: require English proficiency for ride share drivers. Now, if you've 167 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 2: ever been picked up by an Uber driver who doesn't 168 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: speak any English. You understand just how frustrating it can be, 169 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: especially if it's the airport. You're in another city and 170 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: you don't know what's happening, and then you have someone 171 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 2: you cannot communicate with. I travel constantly and it is 172 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: one of the biggest frustrations that I've had, either not 173 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 2: being able to find me or not being able to 174 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 2: get me to where I need to go and then 175 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 2: saying sorry, no English. So Tommy Tuverville isn't the only 176 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: one that is paying attention to this. Constituents are as well, 177 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 2: and that's why he's coming out and saying it is 178 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: essential to ensure that ride shared drivers speak English. 179 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: He said this. 180 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: During an appearance on a Breitbart News Daily discussing his 181 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 2: understanding of Basic English Requirements Act or the Uber Act. 182 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 2: When asked abad's proposal, Tullbvill said it covers any kind 183 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 2: of delivery driving, pointing to the importance of doing this 184 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: for truck drivers as well. First of all, we got 185 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 2: the CDL done. The big truckers, you know you got 186 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 2: to speak English, he said. Here's more of that conversation. 187 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 2: He had take a listen. 188 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 5: The Uber Act. Understanding Basic English requirements for ride share drivers. 189 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 5: So I'm assuming this also means like a door dash 190 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 5: and stuff like that. 191 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: So what's the deal here, Walmart delivery? 192 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 6: Anything to do with people driving? Okay, first of all, 193 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 6: we got the CDL done. The big truckers. You know, 194 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 6: you got to speak English and read English to drive. 195 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 6: You can't read the signs, you're gonna hurt somebody. And 196 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 6: we've had mini erecs because of people that Gavin Newsom 197 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 6: in California has given just handed out these truck licenses 198 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 6: and kill people because those things are weapons if you 199 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 6: don't know what you're doing. Now, here's what's happened in 200 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 6: Uber and Lyft. We have in a lot of areas 201 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 6: in Alabama and in the South, in peak times for 202 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 6: beaches and all those things, you're having an influx of 203 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 6: people coming from other countries, and a lot of them 204 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 6: Muslim that come in. Sixty seventy of them live in 205 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 6: four or five houses. They pass their vass around to 206 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 6: each one of them, and they pass their driver's license around. 207 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 6: They can't speak English and they drive Uber and Lyft 208 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 6: and folks, we got to stop it because you know, 209 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 6: if you can't communicate with somebody, I've had Walmart people 210 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 6: delivering to my house that they'll call I can't well, 211 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 6: what are you talking about? I mean they're lost, they 212 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 6: can't read the signs. We have got to protect the 213 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 6: citizens of this country, and that's what this bill is about. 214 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 6: If you can't speak English and take an English driving test, 215 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 6: you do not get a driver's license, and you do 216 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 6: not drive people around for lyftan uber doesn't happen. 217 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 5: Or Walmart the So it's the danger issue. But it 218 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 5: seems like it seems like if you're an a legal alien, 219 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 5: the easiest job or the quickest job that you can 220 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 5: get is to work for door dash or whatever. So 221 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 5: we got to stop that, right is that is that 222 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 5: one of the motives too, is to just turn off 223 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 5: a bit of a magnet for illegals, give. 224 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 6: People jobs that live in this country, because now you'll 225 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 6: let a lot of people come from other countries that 226 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 6: are they're illegal here and they're doing door dash and 227 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 6: all that because it's the only thing they can get 228 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 6: a job doing. But it again, it takes away from 229 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 6: people in this country that are citizens that can make 230 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 6: a living. And you know, it's they might pinies own 231 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 6: the dollar and these people love it. This cheap labor. 232 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 6: But that's part of our problem with immigration in this country. 233 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 2: You hear what Tommy tuber Bill is saying here, and 234 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 2: part of it I want to go back to. He says, 235 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: we have a lot of areas in Alabama that's where 236 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: he's the center of in the South, and peak times 237 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 2: for beaches and all these things. We're having an influx 238 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: people coming from other countries, and a lot of people 239 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 2: that are coming in, he said, a lot of them Musslim. 240 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 2: They come in, sixty seventy of them live in four 241 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: or five houses. They pass their visas around each other, 242 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: each one of them, and they pass their driver's licenses around. 243 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: They can't speak English, and they drive over and lyft, 244 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 2: so they're basically one person gets in and then they 245 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: just basically fake it. 246 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: He said, we got to. 247 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: Stop it because if you can't communicate with somebody, and 248 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: he goes back to what he said about Walmart, I 249 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: got people delivering to my house and their loss. 250 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: They can't read the signs. 251 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 2: We've got to protect the citizens of this country, and 252 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: that's what this bill is about. If you can't speak 253 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 2: English and you and take an English driving tests, you 254 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: do not get a driver's license, and you do not 255 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: drive people around for Lyft and Uber. This all goes 256 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: back to by the way of the CDL. You got 257 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: big truckers. They can't speak English, they can't read the 258 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: English signs. How is that safe? If you can't read 259 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: the signs, you're gonna hurt somebody. We've seen people die 260 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: because of this, and we've had a lot of racks, 261 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: a lot of this because of California Gavin Newsom given 262 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: handing out these CDLs to people. 263 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: They're killing people on our roadways. We know this. 264 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 2: These eighteen wheelers, these rigs are weapons. They will take 265 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: your life if you don't know what you're doing, and 266 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: if you can't speak English, it is a problem. This 267 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 2: is also and I go back to exploiting. Why is 268 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 2: it that Uber and Lyft and door dash have so 269 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: many illegal immigrant drivers. It's the easiest way to get 270 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 2: a job. You can lie about it. We see people 271 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: that lie about it and they are not the person 272 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: that you think is picking you up, is picking you up. 273 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: They share these cars and these licenses and they're there 274 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: just to get, you know, exploit the system any way 275 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 2: they possibly can. I think this is for me a 276 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: no brainer. I think for me, this is just straight 277 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: up common sense. For me, this is one of those 278 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: where it's like, I want people to be safe. If 279 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: you are taking an uber and a lift, I believe 280 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: that you should be able to feel safe. And what 281 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 2: does it mean to feel safe? Means the person that's 282 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 2: picking you up you can communicate with, like. I think 283 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: that's really, really, really, really incredibly important. I think it's 284 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 2: for others around you that maybe even don't know who 285 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: you are, feel safe as well. Knowing that there are 286 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 2: people on the roadways that are not going to make 287 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: a mistake because they cannot speak English, because they cannot 288 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: read the signs, there is a reckoning is maybe the 289 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 2: best way that I can describe it that I think 290 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 2: is happening right now where we are genuinely going back. 291 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: To common sense instead of this insanity. 292 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 2: I think people now care more about safety than they 293 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 2: have in a very long time. 294 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: I'll give you another example of this. 295 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 2: The FAA says it's launching one of the biggest air 296 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 2: traffic controller hiring pushes in decades, aiming to bring on 297 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 2: about eight thousand, nine hundred new controllers by twenty twenty eight. 298 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 2: As part of a supercharge effort back by Sean Duffy, 299 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 2: the Transition Secretary. The agency hired twenty twenty six controllers 300 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: in the fiscal year twenty twenty five, beating its goal 301 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: of two thousand after bringing in eighteen hundred the year before. 302 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: They have plans to hire more than twenty two hundred 303 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 2: next year. They're trying to fill every seat at its 304 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 2: training academy in Oklahoma City, and they say even with 305 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 2: a SEARCHEUS, some will still feel tight. FA workforce plans 306 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: and outside analysis say the agency is roughly three thousand 307 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: and thirty five hundred controllers short of where it wants 308 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: to be, with many facilities relying on mandatory overtime in 309 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: six to eight weeks work weeks to keep scheduling running. Retirements, 310 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 2: early exits, and high washout rates in training mean that 311 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 2: even hiring the nearly nine thousand new controllers by the 312 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: end of twenty twenty eight would result in a net 313 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: gain of only about one thousand additional certified controllers in 314 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 2: the FA ranks, according to the agency's own forecasts. They're 315 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: trying to get ahead of it here, and this is 316 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 2: again about safety for travelers. They say this is a 317 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 2: backstory behind a lot of staffing delay messages. When there's 318 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 2: not enough controllers on a shift, the FA slows the 319 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 2: rate of arrivals and departures. Many of you have been 320 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 2: affected by that. I have during travel recently outside the 321 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 2: government shut down by the way, which can back up 322 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 2: flights for hours. And the new high pushes men to 323 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 2: chip away at that problem, they say, while the agency 324 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: also modernize old computer systems and officials ad minute will 325 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 2: take years before passengers really feel the difference because they're 326 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,719 Speaker 2: so far behind now. For now, they say, the US 327 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 2: is trying to rebuild a control of workforce that was 328 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 2: allowed to shrink for far too long, certainly under the 329 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: Biden administration, but even before that, there were warning signs, 330 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 2: and people didn't pay attention to those warning signs. 331 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: So if you look at these two issues. 332 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 2: One of the things I'll say is when the president 333 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: is clearly focused on what he can do now to 334 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 2: help you, but also what he can do to make 335 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 2: you safer, and he's inherited a lot of problems and 336 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 2: he's doing everything he can to fix those problems. I 337 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: love where we're headed with this. I hate that we're there. 338 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 2: I hate that this is the reality of the situation. 339 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 2: But I love where we are headed. There's a word 340 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: that a lot of you may have heard, affordability. That 341 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 2: is the obsession the Democratic Party right now, something they 342 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: never mentioned when Joe Biden was President of the United 343 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 2: States of America. Instead, they lied to you and said 344 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 2: that there was no such thing as inflation, that it 345 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 2: was transitory, and that things were quote getting better, and 346 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 2: gas prices really weren't that bad. 347 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: Well, now they're wanting. 348 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: Americans to believe that the economy is a disaster, and 349 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 2: they're trying to blame Donald Trump for everything. So let's 350 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 2: talk about the facts of where we were a year 351 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: ago compared to now, specifically around Black Friday and holiday 352 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 2: travel for Thanksgiving travelers, there's a bit of good news. 353 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 2: Let me say that again, a bit of good news 354 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 2: for you at the pump. Gas prices are holding steady, 355 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 2: a far crime from the sticker shock of recent years. 356 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 2: Gas Buddy is now forecasting a national average three dollars 357 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: and two cents per gallon over the holiday, matching, yes, 358 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 2: a low price that we needed desperately to help Americans. 359 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,719 Speaker 2: And we also now know that there's other things that 360 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 2: are really exciting Thanksgiving gas prices. This is the lowest 361 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 2: we've had since the pandemic, when the national average hit 362 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 2: three dollars and thirty nine cents a gallon in twenty 363 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 2: twenty one and three dollars and fifty six cents a 364 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: gallon in twenty twenty two. Gas prices are coming down 365 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 2: and for many drivers, and national stability is showing up 366 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 2: locally as well. Nearly thirty states now boast average prices 367 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 2: of under three dollars a gallon, from Colorado to New 368 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 2: Hampshire to Georgia. According to Triple A, Oklahoma tops the 369 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,719 Speaker 2: list with an average of just two dollars and fifty 370 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: cents a gallon. That is a welcome number on many 371 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 2: gas station signs for consumers. Now at the other end 372 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 2: of the spectrum, where liberals are in charge, you've still 373 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 2: got paint at the pump with regulation and taxation. Let 374 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 2: me give you an example of that. California is now 375 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 2: topping the list as the most expensive state when it 376 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 2: comes to buying a gallon of gasoline. When you look 377 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 2: at Oklahoma, a conservative state with not a lot of 378 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: regulation to make prices skyrocket, and certain blends a demand 379 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 2: to protect the environment right because of global warming. Well, 380 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 2: compare it to what they're paying in California. It is 381 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 2: four dollars and sixty three cents per gallon compared to 382 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: just two fifty a gallon in Oklahoma. Hawaii is actually cheaper, 383 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: and that's not something you hear about very often, as 384 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 2: Hawaii is one of the most expensive places to just 385 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 2: get gasoline too, it is now less expensive to buy 386 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 2: a gallon of gas in Hawaii than it is with 387 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 2: all the regulations on gasoline in California. Hawaii at four 388 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 2: dollars and forty seven cents a gallon compared to four 389 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: to sixty three in California. Washington State, another liberal bastion 390 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 2: of well socialism, they now are at four dollars and 391 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 2: eighteen cents a gallon, and rounding out the top ten 392 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: are Nevada at three eighty four a gallon, Alaska at 393 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: three seventy five a gallon, Arizona at three thirty seven 394 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 2: a gallon, and three states tied at three twenty nine Pennsylvania. 395 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: Idaho, and Illinois. 396 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the most affordable gas can be found in conservative 397 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 2: states Oklahoma at two dollars and fifty seven cents a gallon, 398 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 2: Mississippi at two sixty one a gallon and Louisiana two 399 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 2: sixty five a gallon. Those states in follow other conservative 400 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 2: states Tennessee at two sixty six a gallon, Arkansas at 401 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: two sixty seven a gallon, Texas at two seventy a gallon, 402 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: Kansas at two seventy one, Missouri at two seventy three, 403 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 2: Alabama two seventy three, in Kentucky at two seventy four 404 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 2: a gallon. You notice the trend here. Where there are 405 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 2: conservative states, there are lower prices. And when you have 406 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 2: the most radical liberals, what are their prices almost double 407 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 2: what is being paid in conservative states. TRIPLEA anticipates that 408 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 2: nearly eighty two million Americans will journey at least fifty 409 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 2: miles from home over the Thanksgiving holiday, one point six 410 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 2: million more than last year, marking a record high for 411 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving travel. Now, the revelation comes to the Trump administration 412 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 2: is pushing ahead on energy, dominance, independence. It's a key 413 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 2: pillar President Donald Trump's economic and national security agenda, and 414 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 2: while Thanksgiving marks the year's busiest travel stretch, it isn't 415 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 2: the only time drivers have caught a break. This Labor Day, 416 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 2: motors saw the lowest gas prices in a half a decade. 417 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 2: So this is not just one blip on the map. 418 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 2: It's a clear trend. Because of the President of the 419 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 2: It's America putting Americans first, which also brings us to 420 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 2: what's about to happen with US holidays spending. How do 421 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: Americans actually feel about the economy and where we are 422 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: right now? US holidays spending, we're now being told is 423 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: expected to top one trillion dollars for the first time ever. 424 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 2: I want you to take a listen to what they 425 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 2: had to say about the holidays and shopping patterns this 426 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 2: year on Fox Business Channel. Despite concerns about the economy, 427 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 2: people are still looking to spend. 428 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: Jerry Willis has the numbers. 429 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 5: She joins us now, hey. 430 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 7: Jerry, Yeah, you know, it's interesting everybody asking just how 431 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 7: generous American consumers will be this holiday season. It's the 432 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 7: question still under debate. Both Price Waterhouse and Deloitte surveys 433 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 7: of consumer showing Americans tightening their purse strings with declines 434 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 7: of anywhere from five to ten percent. Gen Z the 435 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 7: most cast is saying they plan to spend twenty three 436 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 7: percent less than last year, but the National retail Federation 437 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 7: sees sales rising two point nine to three point four percent, 438 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 7: breaking through the one trillion mark for the first time. 439 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 5: Matver now. 440 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 7: Meanwhile, the big discounters like Walmart, TJ Max showing strong 441 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 7: early results. But what can consumers expect is they hit 442 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 7: them all. Some fire up their web browsers this holiday season. 443 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 7: One retail consultant says potential price hikes loom with the 444 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 7: elimination of the Dominimus tariff, which allowed goods under one 445 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 7: thousand from offshore to enter the US duty free. She 446 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 7: says it could cost sticker shock for some consumers. 447 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 8: Listen, you need to buy now because we don't know 448 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 8: what's going to happen. Tariffs could go up at any point, 449 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 8: in which case those prices will get passed on. The 450 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 8: price increase will immediately get passed on to the consumer now. 451 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 7: Travel snaffoos could also make it difficult to get your 452 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 7: presence delivered on time, so Herzog is also recommending shipping 453 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 7: presents early by December seventeenth at the least. Plus the 454 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 7: big the best prices that is on big ticket electronics 455 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 7: will be available after the holiday season January fifth and later. 456 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 7: Bottom line, if you want to save money this holiday season. 457 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 7: Make a list, stick to it, and start early. 458 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 2: Now, this is also happening as we're seeing something else 459 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 2: that's going to make you very happy, and that is 460 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving meal costs have declined to the lowest level in 461 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: four years. Another example of affordability the Democrats are trying 462 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 2: to say is terrible, and actually it's running yet again 463 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: in the right direction. The cost of a traditional Thanksgiving 464 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: meal down sharply, falling to the lowest price since twenty 465 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 2: twenty one, according to the American Farm Bureau. The Farm 466 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 2: Bureau's fortieth Anniel survey found that a classic Thanksgiving dinner 467 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: for ten people will cost fifty five to eighteen that 468 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: is down. 469 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: Five percent from last year. 470 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 2: Since teen eighty six, volunteers across all fifty states in 471 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 2: Puerto Rico have been organized by the American Farm Bureau 472 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 2: to record local prices for turkey, cube stuffing, sweet potatoes, 473 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 2: dinner rolls, frozen peas, fresh cranberry, salery, carrots, pumpkin pie 474 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 2: mix and crust, whipping cream, and whole milk. Prices soared 475 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 2: during the presidency of Joe Biden, with inflation rising to 476 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: the worst pace in forty years. The price of a 477 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 2: classic Thanksgiving meal searched fourteen percent in twenty twenty one alone, 478 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 2: Biden's first year in office, then hitting a record high 479 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 2: of fifty three to thirty one, despite the administration's insistence 480 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: that the price increases were transitory or the result of 481 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 2: a temporary supply shock. The following year, what came to 482 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 2: be called Biden Inflation was even worse. The price of 483 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 2: a Thanksgiving meal jumped another twenty percent to a skyrocketing 484 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 2: sixty four oh five.

Yes, 487 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 2: almost a twenty five percent increase. This year's decline was 488 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 2: driven by a sharp fall in the price of turkey. 489 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 2: A sixteen pound turkey will cost an average of twenty 490 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 2: one to fifty That is down sixteen percent from Joe 491 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 2: Biden's final year in office. 492 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: So is the economy getting better? Yes? Is pricing getting 493 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: better for you? Yes? 494 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 2: And is this something we should all be excited about? 495 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 2: You better believe it.
