So, got 25 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: a lot of interesting topics to get into during the 26 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: course of today's show. It is the sixtieth anniversary of 27 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I asked on the 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: poll early this morning when I woke up whether or 29 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: not you all believe that JFK was actually killed by 30 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: Lee Harvey Oswald or whether someone else was involved in 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: that shooting. I mean, the shooting itself, not potentially a 32 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: larger conspiracy surrounding it. Overwhelming majorities of you, fifteen thousand 33 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,919 Speaker 1: of you. I'll retweet that poll right now. Voted this morning. 34 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: In that poll for the sixtieth anniversary, eighty two percent 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: of you say that you do not believe Lee Harvey 36 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: Oswald was the sole shooter that day responsible for killing JFK. 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: If you have stories surrounding the JFK assassination, maybe share 38 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: some of those today sixtieth anniversary. We'll talk a bit 39 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: more about that throughout the course of the program. But 40 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: that poll is up again fifteen thousand of you have voted. 41 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: Eighty two percent are saying no, you do not believe 42 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: Lee Harvey Oswald was the only shooter that day. And 43 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: I would argue, and I'll circle back to this in 44 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: a little bit, but I would argue that the combination 45 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: of the murder of John F. Kennedy and the Vietnam 46 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: War represented the beginning of Americans not trusting their government. 47 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: And I think that legacy continues today. And what I 48 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: would argue is the biggest public policy failure of my life. 49 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: I wasn't alive during the NOAM. I think it's clearly 50 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: COVID and the COVID shot and the mandates and everything 51 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: that surrounded that. I think that will for generations to come. 52 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: Shutting down schools, the lockdowns in general, I think feed 53 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: further distrust of the United States government. But we'll talk 54 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: some about it being the sixtieth anniversary of the jfk assassination. 55 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: There's a good piece in the Wall Street Journal this 56 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: morning by Thomas Baker, who's a retired FBI special agent, 57 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: and he's written about how the fall of the FBI 58 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: has read become a threat to democracy. But he has 59 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: an article about how the mistakes of nineteen sixty three 60 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: led to the successes of nineteen eighty one when Ronald 61 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: Reagan was shot, And since there's so much negativity out there, 62 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: I will point out it is kind of remarkable when 63 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: you consider how long it has been since someone has 64 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: been able to shoot the president of the United States. 65 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: If I had been doing this show in nineteen eighty 66 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: one and I had told you that we would go 67 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: all the way basically to twenty twenty three, two generations 68 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: where no American would ever remember a bonafide assassination attempt 69 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: on the president of the United States, I think many 70 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: of you would have disbelieved that. As in nineteen eighty one, 71 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: when Ronald Reagan was shot, we were coming off of 72 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: the assassination certainly of John F. Kennedy, but also of 73 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy in nineteen sixty eight. 74 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: There was this idea that people in positions of prominence 75 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: were regularly going to be put in peril and or assassinated. 76 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: And as a positive, the Secret Service and everyone who 77 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: was involved in helping to protect the president for two generations, 78 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: they have managed to do so, and certainly that is 79 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: a credit to them, but I wanted to start today 80 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: with a poll that I saw come out this morning 81 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: contextualizing where exactly we are. And this is from the 82 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: Real Clear Politics team. If you don't go to Real 83 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: Clear Politics, they do a fabulous, I think job of 84 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: distilling a variety of different opinions and data in a 85 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: relatively non partisan manner so that you can just take 86 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: an overall snapshot of what's going on in the country. 87 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: And I understand a lot of you out there are 88 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,559 Speaker 1: going to say, oh, I don't believe the polls. Well, 89 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,119 Speaker 1: I can understand why you would be skeptical of any 90 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: individual poll, but I do think in general, the overall 91 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: polling apparatus is a good picture, a snapshot of where 92 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: America is right now. And where America is right now 93 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump has never been stronger in his entire 94 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,559 Speaker 1: political career based on polling than he is right now. 95 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: Question for all of you, is this a mira that 96 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: may well fade over the next eleven months, or is it, 97 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: as I believe saying, something far more significant. And I 98 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: think there's way less movement that is likely to happen 99 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: than has happened in the past. But let me give 100 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: you a historical context. This is again from real clear politics. 101 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: In on this date, November twenty second of two thy fifteen, 102 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: when you look at the larger polling averages in the 103 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: United States, Hillary Clinton had a four point four percent 104 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: lead over Donald Trump. Now we all know what happened 105 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: a year later in the twenty sixteen election. But Hillary Clinton, 106 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: that staff can look it up and text me exactly 107 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: what did she win the national popular vote that year 108 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: by like two points one and a half points. So 109 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: a year out, Hillary Clinton versus Donald Trump was not 110 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: actually that far off from what the actual election results 111 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: would be in twenty sixteen. Now, everybody expected Hillary to 112 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: win that race. But on this date, one year out 113 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: from the twenty twenty sixteen election, Hillary Clinton was up 114 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: four point four points in all of the national political averages, 115 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: and she would go on to win by around two 116 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: points the national popular vote. Okay, what about the twenty 117 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: twenty election. This is interesting. Joe Biden was not yet 118 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: the nominee, but he was up nine point six points 119 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: according to the polling averages in twenty nineteen on Donald 120 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: Trump nine point six Now this is before Biden was 121 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: the nominee. It was before the election had begun in earnest. 122 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: Trump right now November twenty second, less than a year 123 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: out from the election, is up two point three points 124 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: points on Joe Biden. And that lead actually grows more 125 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: substantial when you toss RFK Junior into the mix, when 126 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: you toss Carnel West, when you put Jill Stein in 127 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: and let me give you some of this data too. 128 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: In the toss up states, that is, the states that 129 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: we expect the election to be decided by. Trump is 130 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: up five and a half in Georgia, this is an 131 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: average aggregate, up four point eight in Arizona, up four 132 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: in Nevada, up two in Michigan, up one and a 133 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: half in Pennsylvania, and Joe Biden is up point seven 134 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: less than one percentage point in Wisconsin. Those are the 135 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: six traditionally considered toss up states Trumps has built a 136 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: big lead. Based on polling, Trump would win three oh 137 00:08:54,600 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: one to two thirty five in the electoral college. Okay, out, 138 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: what you are seeing is these numbers are imparting panic 139 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party. You might be wondering, Okay, what 140 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: are they going to do? What is their game plan? 141 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: As we sit here on Thanksgiving Eve, and I do 142 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: think it's important to take a snapshot of where we 143 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: are right as we head into Thanksgiving because I've been 144 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: making the argument I think it's true that it's hard 145 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: to get major political movement from about now until after 146 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: New Year's A lot of people are out of the office, 147 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: kids are out of school, a lot you're planning for 148 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: all the holiday related events. Most people are not following 149 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: politics on an aggressive manner. I think again, remember January fifteenth, 150 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: as the Iowa Caucus. People will come back out of 151 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: their New Year's Eve stoopors and start paying attention. And 152 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: this is my thesis again to politics around January fourth 153 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: or fifth, and there'll be about ten days to shift 154 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: in terms of the Iowa cau Which is why I've 155 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: said you really needed to make a move in a 156 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: big way by this time if you were going to 157 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: make Iowa super competitive, because I think it's just going 158 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: to be hard to get attention in Iowa or anywhere else. 159 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: I think that's why you've seen Ron DeSantis roll out 160 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: the Kim Reynolds endorsement. Bob vander Platz, big religious leader 161 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: in Iowa. I think the DeSantis team knows that. I 162 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: think that's why they've tried to roll out their endorsements 163 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: in advance to see if they can get some movement 164 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: in politics in terms of caucus, and obviously organization is 165 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: a big part. But I want you to listen to 166 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: what they're trying to do. And I just think this 167 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: is going to be a super super failure. And I'm 168 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: gonna unpack this a little bit. But this is Missouri's 169 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: former senator Claire mccaskell. Remember she took over for her 170 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: husband after he died. She said on MSNBC Donald Trump 171 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: is more dangerous than Adolph Hitler to this cut yesterday. 172 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 2: A lot of people have tried to draw similarities between 173 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: Mussolini and Hitler and the use of the terminology like 174 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: vermin and the drive that those men had towards autocracy 175 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: and dictatorship. The difference, though, I think McDonald Trump even 176 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 2: more dangerous, and that is he has no philosophy he 177 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: believes in. He is not trying to expand the boundaries 178 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: in the United States of America. 179 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: He's not trying to. 180 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 2: Overcome a neighboring country like Putin is in Ukraine. He 181 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 2: is not going for some grandiose scheme of international dominance. 182 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: All he wants is to. 183 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: Look in the mirror and see a guy who's president. 184 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: I want you to think about that for a minute, 185 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: because I'm jotting down notes. I heard this and read 186 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: this earlier, and I couldn't believe it. I shared it 187 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: on Twitter. You can go watch this yourself. They're really 188 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: going to go back and try to rerun the same 189 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: playbook from twenty twenty and argue that Donald Trump is Hitler. 190 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: I notice what Claire mccaskell actually said there. She actually 191 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: criticized Trump for not trying to expand boundaries like Putin. 192 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: I want you to understand how crazy this is getting. 193 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: Trump is more dangerous because, unlike Vladimir Putin, he's not 194 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: invading neighboring countries. Trump is more dangerous than Hitler because 195 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: unlike Hitler, who created concentration camps and tried to eradicate 196 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: Jews from the world, Trump is motivated by wanting to 197 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: look in the mirror and see that he is president. 198 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: They are criticizing on MSNBC Trump because he's not motivated 199 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: by invading other countries, and he doesn't have an underlying 200 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: philosophy of eliminating another race, and somehow that makes him 201 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: more dangerous. I don't think Claire mccaskal's very smart. Can 202 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: we get an op and invite to Claire mccaskell to 203 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: come on and try to make this argument. It's important 204 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: to represent how lost Democrats have become. This woman represented Missouri. 205 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: It's not like she represented Massachusetts. Think about how lost 206 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: they have become. That as we are dealing with the 207 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: greatest murder of Jewish people since the Holocaust, they are 208 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: still trying to trot out that Trump is Hitler analog analogy, 209 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: and also Trump is Mussolini. But most people don't really, 210 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: I mean, most people don't even know who Mussolini is. 211 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: So the Hitler is what they try to stick him with. 212 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: And yet there's no evidence whatsoever of that. And why 213 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: does Trump have what I think is a durable lead. 214 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: He's leading right now in twelve of the fourteen most 215 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: recent national polls that have come out. Remember Trump won 216 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: in sixteen despite losing the popular vote. If Trump were 217 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: to win the popular vote, he would win a landslide. 218 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: Trump could win the electoral College and lose nationwide by 219 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: a couple of points. If he were to beat Joe 220 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: Biden in the national popular vote, he would be the 221 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: first Republican to win the national popular vote since two 222 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: thousand and four, when George W. Bush did it. So 223 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: we're not only talking about Trump winning, We're talking about 224 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: him winning a relative landslide. Why is that? I think 225 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: it's because Biden's the story right now. When we come back, 226 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: I want to kind of focus on this. Can Biden 227 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: remain the story if he can? If he can, I 228 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: don't think these attacks on trump Land at all. They 229 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: may have worked in sixteen, they may have worked in twenty, 230 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: but Democrats are trying to run the same playbook and 231 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it works at all. And I'll lay 232 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: it out for you now. I'll also open up phone 233 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: lines eight hundred and two two two eight A two. 234 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: I understand some of you don't believe the holes and 235 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: you don't believe that Trump is in as strong a 236 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: position as he is, But objectively, based on eight years 237 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: of political data, Donald Trump has never been stronger in 238 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: his entire political career than he is today right now, 239 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: while I'm talking to all of you, you worked hard 240 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: to build your retirement savings.

By the way, 258 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: Hillary got forty eight point two percent of all votes 259 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: cast in twenty sixteen, Trump got forty six point one 260 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: So the poll one year out poll average one year 261 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: out in twenty fifteen was within two percentage points of 262 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: being accurate, So was very you know, in the in 263 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: the arena of what the final results would be even 264 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: a year out. I think these Trump Biden polls are 265 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: accurate for a similar reason. Moe from Dutchess County, New York. 266 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: You wanted to react to Claire mccaskell. 267 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: Yes, how you doing? 268 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving to all of you?

Yeah, 272 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: And I don't understand where she's coming from. 273 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 3: Hitler went into other countries. 274 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 2: Trump does not. 275 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: I don't understand. I appreciate you putting that. She is 276 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: criticizing Trump for not being willing to invade other countries 277 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: and somehow that makes it more dangerous. And she says that, 278 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: unlike Hitler, he doesn't have a philosophy. Yeah, he's not 279 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: trying to murder every Jew, and somehow that makes Trump 280 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: more like Hitler. I mean, this woman is an imbecile, 281 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: an absolute grade a moron.

I just bought 340 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: three hundred and eighty dollars worth of grocery to get 341 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: groceries to get ready for Thanksgiving. You know what I'm 342 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,719 Speaker 1: talking about. Things don't cost what you think they should 343 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: cost based on the way they have cost over recent history. 344 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: It's not your imagination. In twenty nineteen, Thanksgiving meal cost 345 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: an average forty nine dollars. A Thanksgiving meal now cost 346 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: over sixty dollars. In fact, in the space of just 347 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: a couple of years, the cost of your Thanksgiving meal 348 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: has gone up twenty five percent on average. And this 349 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: is why I say so many people are missing this story. 350 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: What's actually going on is, yes, inflation is starting to 351 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: come back down, but inflation is forever embedded in our 352 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: prices now. So every time I buy something, I think 353 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: to myself, man, it doesn't feel like it used to 354 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: cost this much. And it's not my imagination and it's 355 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: not your imagination. And that's why all this argument about 356 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: Bidenomics doesn't work, because the truth of the matter is 357 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: all of us are paying twenty five percent more on 358 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 1: average for every product out there than we were paying 359 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: before Joe Biden became President of the United States. And 360 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: so when you attribute that across the board, it's not 361 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: only that costs are up substantially. It's that even if 362 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: you have gotten a raise, the real income in your 363 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: wallet is down. You don't have as much purchasing power 364 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: today as you had before Joe Biden became President of 365 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: the United States. Most people out there over the past 366 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: three years have not seen their wages grow as fast 367 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: as the cost of everything that you are buying is growing. 368 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: And I don't hear a lot of politicians making this case. 369 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: I don't hear a lot of people focused on that. 370 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: That is what real, everyday Americans are experiencing every time 371 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: we go out and buy anything. I talk about this 372 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: because I got three boys, and they're a mess, and 373 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: they're expensive. Two of them are here in the studio 374 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: with me right now, and they're here because they want 375 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: to go to a baseball card shop as soon as 376 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: we finish the show here in Panama City Beach. They 377 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: cost money. It's unbelievable, how much they grow, how much 378 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: everything they consume, how much they can eat. I feel 379 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: like we have to buy a new pair of shoes 380 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: every two months because their feet are growing so fast. 381 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: All of you with young kids out there know what 382 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. And every time we go to Chick 383 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: fil A, A lot you can criticize me, say you 384 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: shouldn't eat fast food. I get it. Chick fil A 385 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: is amazing. Every time I go through the Chick fil 386 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: A drive through window with them, it's over fifty dollars. 387 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: Over fifty dollars. That used to be you could go 388 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: sit down at a restaurant, at an Applebee's, at a Chili's, 389 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: actually have a waiter, and you wouldn't spend necessarily fifty 390 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: dollars at a meal. Now you can't even go through 391 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,239 Speaker 1: a drive through if you've got a young family like 392 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: I do, and get a Chick fil a sandwich, some fries, 393 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: and a drink for three kids, you and your wife 394 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: and get out of that drive through for under fifty dollars. 395 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: That it doesn't feel right. And I know a lot 396 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: of you are experiencing that every time you go to 397 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: the grocery store and every time you go through the 398 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: fast food drive through. Things cost way more than it 399 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: feels like things should cost. And that's not in your 400 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: mind made up. And a lot of people out there 401 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: in the media, they're like, I don't know why you 402 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: don't Bidenomics is working. This is an amazing that economies 403 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: never know they're gaslighting you. They aren't experiencing what you experience. 404 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: And I think about this all the time. A lot 405 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: of you are going to know what I'm talking about 406 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: when I say this, you ever go out to a 407 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: restaurant and guarantee that you're not going to buy the 408 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: most expensive thing on the meal. You may be spending 409 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: more than you wanted to, but I bet a huge 410 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: percentage of you you sit down at a restaurant, you 411 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: look at what everything costs, and you as part of 412 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: your monetary regulation, you may be splurging to go out 413 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: to that restaurant, but you're not gonna buy the most 414 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: expensive thing on that menu. How many of you, when 415 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: you sit down and look at menu costs now, are 416 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: like me, and you just can't believe how much they 417 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: have raised prices on everything. And here's the deal that 418 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: inflation never goes away. And that's why when people try 419 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: to come back and they say, well the inflation rate 420 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: now is down to three point two percent, Yeah, it's 421 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: off three point two percent compared to last year. But 422 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: you really have to go back to twenty nineteen and say, okay, 423 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: how does what I'm paying in twenty twenty three compare 424 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: to what I paid before COVID? You pay twenty five 425 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: percent more on average for everything than you did before COVID, 426 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: and that's because of double digit inflation, which is embedded. 427 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: Your cereal's not ever gonna get cheaper again. They don't 428 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: unwind the inflation. They embed that cost and it exists 429 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. You're never gonna go 430 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: up back to twenty nineteen prices. And that's why I 431 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: think Trump is winning because ultimately, and this is what 432 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: I would ham this is what you know. We had 433 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: Trump a couple of weeks ago on the show. I 434 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: told him off air, just hammer this stuff and it 435 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: gets tougher. I understand. I don't know that Donald Trump 436 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: knows what a hamburger at McDonald's used to cost versus 437 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: what it costs now. When you're a billionaire, you're not 438 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 1: really living paycheck to paycheck. When you're a former president, 439 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. How often you have to pull out 440 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: your credit card or pull out your wallet and give 441 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: cash for anything, you'll lose a little bit of a 442 00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: concept of reality. That's why I think for so much 443 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: many people out there, having kids is a pretty good 444 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,239 Speaker 1: approximation of reality because they don't care what you do 445 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: for a living. At this next commercial break, my kids 446 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: are going to come in and they're going to be 447 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: like dad, how long until we can go to the 448 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: baseball card shop and be like, well, I've got two 449 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: more hours in my show, and they're gonna be like, oh, 450 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: two more hours, Dad. They don't care what I do. 451 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: Your kids don't care what you do. They have a 452 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: focus of what they care about, right little League sports. 453 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: Trying to make sure you don't find out how bad 454 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: they did on that most recent test baseball cards for 455 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: my kids right now, all the football games that are 456 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: going to be played on Thursday and Friday and Saturday 457 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: throughout the fact that they want me to get out 458 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: in the yard with them and play football, and I'm 459 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 1: just hoping I don't tear my acl trying to make 460 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: a cut on them because they're getting bigger, stronger, and 461 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: faster and soon they're going to be better than me at 462 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: all sports. But I'm not gonna allow that to happen 463 00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: for freeting time soon. Real people experience this twenty five percent increase, 464 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: and it's so tone deaf of the Biden White House 465 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: on many different levels. Do you see the picture they 466 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: put out Joe Biden with his birthday cake looked like 467 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: looked like he had a flamethrower on that birthday cake. 468 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: I saw that picture. I couldn't believe it was real. 469 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: They've lost the ability to understand what normal people experience. 470 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: And every argument that they're making, even the very idea 471 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: that they were somehow going to sell Bidenomics as a 472 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: good thing. Everybody who goes through the grocery checkout line 473 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: is cursing Joe Biden in their head. Everybody that goes 474 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: through a fast food drive through is cursing Joe Biden 475 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: in their head. That inflation that he created by spending 476 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: trillions of dollars that was completely unnecessary. And remember, Joe 477 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: Biden wanted to spend way more only because Joe Manchin 478 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: said no, did we avoid potentially fifteen or twenty percent inflation. 479 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: Biden's economic decisions were disastrous, and only Joe Mansion in 480 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: his own party protected him from being even more of 481 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: a disaster. Remember, he wanted to spend five or six 482 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: trillion additional dollars and that is still embedded forever in 483 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: all of this current economic system that we're facing. And 484 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: so for a lot of you out there, and I 485 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: understand you're in the primary season right now and you're 486 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: fired up. And if you're a DeSantis person, I like 487 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis, I like Nicki Haley. We're gonna have Chris 488 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: Christy on in the third hour of the program. I 489 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: think all of these guys and gals would be better 490 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: than Joe Biden. But if you're out there right now 491 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: and you are fired up, you're not giving Desantus enough credit. 492 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: You're not giving Nicky Haley enough credit. I hate Trump, Clay, 493 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: how come you don't how come you don't point out 494 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,959 Speaker 1: that Trump could never win. I think Trump could win 495 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: a landslide if the election were right now this day. 496 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: Trump would win. I believe over three hundred electoral votes. 497 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: And I think Nikki Haley would, and Ron DeSantis would, 498 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: and vivek Ramaswami all would. Why Because Biden is the story. 499 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: It ain't about who the Republicans are gonna pick. My 500 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: concern is that Trump is not gonna be able to 501 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: get out of the way. Biden's on fire. My concern 502 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: is Trump is gonna stumble into him and they're both 503 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: gonna end up on fire, and then we're just gonna 504 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: have a total mess. Like when two drunk people fight. 505 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: You ever watch drunk people fight. You don't have any 506 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: idea what's gonna happen. Right drunk guy's gonna throw a 507 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: huge haymaker. Biden is super drunk right now. He's just 508 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: stumbling around. He's got no I where he is. He's 509 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: in a fight. He's gonna pull it down. You know, 510 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: the drunk guy like throws a punch all the way 511 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: from his foot. You ever watch a drunk guy throw 512 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: a punch. He doesn't like stand like a normal person would. 513 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: He so wobbly. He brings his fist all the way 514 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: from like his foot, and he throws this slow, looping haymaker. 515 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: And if you have any ability at all to avoid 516 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: a punch, you dodge a drunk guy's punch. But if 517 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: two drunk guys are fighting every now and then, the 518 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: other drunk guy gets caught by the drunk guy's punch. 519 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: That's my concern about what might happen in the Trump 520 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: Biden fight is that Trump gets in there close and 521 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: somehow Biden catches him with a haymaker. Otherwise, if Trump 522 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: just stays out of the way, Biden's gonna throw that 523 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: punch and knock himself out on the barstool. He's beaten. 524 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: Democrats deep down know it, and they're only response is 525 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: to try to say Trump is Hitler and guess what, 526 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't work very well. It's a boy who cried wolf. 527 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: That's why I think right now Trump would win a landslide. 528 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: I think reasonable, rational people are all recognizing that that 529 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: game plan ain't working, and it's gonna not only not work, 530 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna blow up in the Democrat Party's face. 531 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: I'll take some of your calls, but in the meantime, 532 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: take a page from smart holiday shoppers.

I wanted to play this. 559 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: If you're out there and you're saying, oh, there's no 560 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: way the Biden administration is trying to brag about what 561 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is costing this year. Actually, here's Kareeine Jean Pierre 562 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: just doing just that. 563 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 3: Listen, this Thanksgiving, we have a lot to be thankful 564 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 3: for Just in time for holiday travel, Gas prices are 565 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 3: down a dollar and seventy cents from their peak. Airline 566 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 3: tickets are down thirteen percent over the last year, and 567 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 3: car rentals are down about ten percent. And as we 568 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 3: start preparing our Thanksgiving meals, grocery inflation is at its 569 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 3: lowest level in over two years, with prices for eggs, milks, bacon, 570 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 3: and fresh veggies lower than last year. In fact, according 571 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 3: to the American Farm Bureau, the cost of a Thanksgiving 572 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 3: dinner fell this year. Prices are down for turkey, stuffing, peas, cranberries, 573 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 3: pie crust, and whipping cream because wagers are rising. This 574 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving dinner is the fourth cheapest ever as a percentage 575 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 3: of average earnings. 576 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: You know when all the other Thanksgiving dinners or cheaper 577 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: when Donald Trump was president Again, they're lying, it's twenty 578 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: five percent more for your Thanksgiving than it was just 579 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Okay, what the Biden administration did is 580 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: they embedded inflation for the rest of your life. Prices 581 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,720 Speaker 1: are never going back to what they were in nineteen, 582 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: and they weren't growing very fast at all. Trump inflation 583 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: was two percent. Most people don't notice two percent inflation. 584 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: Even if you stack it together on multiple years, it's 585 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: very slow growth. Wage growth was exceeding the amount that 586 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: your cost was growing. That's the way to measure your 587 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: buying powers. All of you have gotten a default tax 588 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: with Joe Biden in control. And this is why Americans 589 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly are trusting white, black, Asian, Hispanic Donald Trump on 590 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: the economy better because he is better out. All right, 591 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: we come back. It is Thanksgiving. It's also the sixtieth 592 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: anniversary of the jfk assassination. I'm going to tie both 593 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: of those things together. We're going to continue to talk 594 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: about it.
