And of course 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 3: you don't need to you don't need me to tell 16 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 3: you the volume on the roadways and Americans are on 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 3: the move, not just here in southern California, but nationwide. 18 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 3: We'll talk with News Nations national correspondent Alex Caparrillo. 19 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: Is she is she with us? Okay, we'll talk to 20 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: her in a minute. 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's stunning the volume of traffic and that 22 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 3: more people, record numbers of people are flying, record numbers 23 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 3: of people are driving traveling. 24 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: That's a good thing. Right. This is a good thing. 25 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: We wanted America back. 26 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: We wanted to come back from COVID, We wanted things 27 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: to return back to normal. We wanted prosperity. This is 28 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: what prosperity looks like. It's a busy week. Look, the 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 3: good news is so many did not have to work 30 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 3: or go to school on Monday and Tuesday. I don't 31 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 3: know when that change took place, but all three of 32 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 3: my sons and two are in high school and one 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 3: is in elementary school, the schools are closed Monday and 34 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 3: Tuesday and Wednesday. 35 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: That's kind of a new thing. That wasn't the case 36 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: when I was a kid. 37 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: So that enabled families to leave on Monday like mine did, 38 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 3: or leave yesterday, which was the busiest travel day when 39 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 3: they used to be the busiest travel day. 40 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: Because Thursday is the day. What do you have to 41 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: leave on Tuesday for? And if Tuesday of next week 42 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: it's a busy travel day, then people are taking Monday off. 43 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: So people are able to afford this level of luxury. 44 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: Like other nations don't take a week off to celebrate 45 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: one meal on a Thursday. They don't take Tuesday to 46 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: Tuesday off. So we're doing something right here in the 47 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 3: United States, and I think we should just celebrate it, Like, 48 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: don't be mad at the traffic, be glad that somebody 49 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: Americans are taking advantage of the holiday and having a 50 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 3: good time with it. Sean Duffy, is the Secretary of Transportation, 51 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: got into a little hot water earlier this week when 52 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 3: he said that he wants to embrace civility at the airport. 53 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: Now. The Secretary of Transportation, I think, is onto something here. 54 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 3: We call on the Transportation Secretary to give us immediate 55 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: updates when things are bad, right if there are problems 56 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 3: in the sky, if air traffic controllers are not showing 57 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 3: up to work, if software outages are messing up flight schedules, 58 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 3: if there is some kind of strike going on with 59 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: baggage handlers, whatever's going on in the industry. We rely 60 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: on the Secretary of Transportation to be straight with us. 61 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 3: Now that everything's fixed on the industry side, he went 62 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 3: directly to the American passenger and said, hey, I got 63 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 3: things right. 64 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: On this side. 65 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: We are at pre government shutdown levels at the air 66 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: traffic control tower, and everybody's happy. Everybody's getting paid, everything's 67 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: on schedule. We have a huge cash infusion to the FAA. 68 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 3: We're going to get all new software. It was in 69 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 3: the One Big Beautiful Bill. We're doing everything we can 70 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: do to make traveling convenient and comfortable for you. Now 71 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: I'm going to ask you, can you bring a little 72 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: more civility to the airport? Can you remember your pleases 73 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: and your thank you? Literally a cabinet member telling Americans 74 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 3: to remember their polices and thank you. But whatever, I 75 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 3: think it's I think it's fun. Then he got into 76 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: a little hot water when he called you all slobs. 77 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 4: Just maybe dressing with some respect, whether it's a pair 78 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 4: of jeens and and and a decent shirt. 79 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better. 80 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 5: Which encourage us, encourages us to maybe behave all a 81 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 5: little better. 82 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: And there's no question about that. 83 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 3: We do know that in the professional world, there is 84 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 3: There are accounting. 85 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: Firms in Marina del Rey that have a policy there 86 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: is no casual Friday. 87 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 3: I know some of these firms, and when I worked 88 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 3: in Congress, there was no casual Friday when you work 89 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 3: for a congressman. 90 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: So there is a correlation. 91 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 3: Between wearing professional attire, whatever your profession is, and bringing 92 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: your a game to your profession, and that's what he's 93 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: leaning to. But he's doubled down on the whole civility thing. 94 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: And we'll share with you what do you have to say. 95 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 3: But First News Nation's national correspondent, Alex It's count. 96 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 6: It is not right? 97 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: Did I pronounce it? 98 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: Yes? 99 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 1: I nailed I nailed it. What's to looking like out there? 100 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, tough flooding for millions of Americans right now. I mean, obviously, 101 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 7: we know this is already a busy holiday to begin with. 102 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 7: Uh but then we add some of the inclement weather 103 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 7: that we've been seeing across the country, particularly in the Midwest, 104 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 7: surrounding major hubs Chicago, Hair namely, which had some really 105 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 7: nasty wind conditions today causing ground delays and ground stops 106 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 7: for a brief period of time. And you know what 107 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 7: one big, major hub like that can do, major wrinkles 108 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 7: all across the entire board, with delays across the country. 109 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 7: Uh So, a lot of people right now finding themselves 110 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 7: in a difficult position trying to get home for Thanksgiving? 111 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 3: Is that? I mean, are there ingency plans for as 112 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 3: you say, major wrinkles in hubs? Like everybody knows that, right, 113 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, hubs out out of Chicago, O'Hare, Minneapolis, St. 114 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 3: H Salt Lake City, Right, they could get impacted far 115 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: more quickly than let's say, you know, Dull, Houston or right. So, 116 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 3: I mean, are there preset industry contingency plans to handle 117 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 3: the impact that that has of slowing down you know, 118 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 3: airports in the Midwest, Yeah, of course. 119 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 7: I mean one is part of the reason why you know, 120 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 7: UH flyers like to do NonStop flights is because it 121 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 7: lowers the likelihood or probability that they may be delayed 122 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 7: themselves as a layover in a major hub like that. 123 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 7: You know, other contingency plans are just abandoning flying all together, 124 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 7: and that's what we're seeing more people do instead, choosing 125 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 7: to maybe take drive or take a train some other 126 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 7: ways to do it. But in general, I mean, the 127 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 7: weather is gonna weather. You know, it's not as if, 128 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 7: you know, United Airlines can control the fifty miles per 129 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 7: hour wind gusts here, and they got to do what's 130 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 7: in the best interests of everybody, And you know, it 131 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 7: can catch people off guard. You know, for example, I 132 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 7: was talking to some folks that were coming from Lincoln, Nebraska, 133 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 7: and all of a sudden instead of fifteen minutes you 134 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 7: know away from landing in Chicago Air they hear the 135 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 7: pilot get on the line and say, sorry, folks, we 136 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 7: got to land in Milwaukee. That's an hour and a 137 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 7: half north of where they're originally supposed to be. So 138 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 7: it just is what it is. Sometimes that's the risk 139 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 7: you take when choosing to fly one during the busiest 140 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 7: holiday of the year and then two in late November 141 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 7: where you know winds and snow and lizards can occur. 142 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, the direct flights the way to go if you 143 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 3: can afford that ticket. Otherwise, I mean those of us 144 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: that do a lot of flying across country know that 145 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,559 Speaker 3: in the next this month and in the next few months, 146 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: try and fly through Phoenix in Atlanta, right if you 147 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 3: can figure out to connect that way. Were talking about 148 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy a moment ago. He's doubling 149 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: down on his civility campaign, but he did mention among 150 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 3: aside from the slippers comment, he did mention about a 151 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 3: major infrastructure investment. 152 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: In the FAA. Are we seeing any. 153 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 3: Results of that yet or is it too soon to 154 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 3: see that impact? 155 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 7: Well, I think it's a little too soon. But this 156 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 7: is something that is good headlines right now for Secretary Duffy, 157 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 7: given the bad headlines that have just happened, you know, 158 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 7: fifty days ago with the forty three days shutdown, but 159 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 7: you know the air traffic control issue, and I like 160 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 7: to remind our viewers of this was an issue before 161 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 7: that government shutdown. We knew that there were shortages. We 162 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 7: were covering the delays that were happening in Newark Liberty 163 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 7: International Airport, in the air traffic controller shortages. So Secretary 164 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 7: Duffy is capitalizing on the fact that the shutdowns over 165 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 7: that he's the man in charge of making it happen 166 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 7: by repromoting these headlines like you know, better pay and quicker, 167 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 7: you know, expedited pathways through air traffic control school in 168 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 7: the different ways, and say the you know, the computer 169 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 7: system the outdated computer systems that the airline industry has 170 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 7: used for decades. Now, these are all great things that 171 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 7: would most certainly help our industry. But it's not necessarily 172 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 7: new news. It's something that he is working on in 173 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 7: that and the Trump administration has been pushing now for 174 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 7: several months, but it is still just a bit too 175 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 7: early to say that we've seen the effects. And when 176 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 7: we really are thinking about the computer systems, by the way, 177 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 7: that is not going to be a fixed overnight. Say 178 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 7: magically all these computers just came online and we had them, 179 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 7: it would essentially cripple the system. To just entirely take 180 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 7: our entire industry off the bat just so that way 181 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 7: we could get these computers on. So people really should 182 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 7: be understanding that that is going to take time. It's 183 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 7: going to take a little bit of patient because it's 184 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 7: not going to be a quick rollout. It's going to 185 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 7: be a very slow rollout because they want to make 186 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 7: sure they do it the right way with as little 187 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 7: mistakes possible. 188 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: So I will still be seeing dot matrix printers behind 189 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 3: the ticket agent lady at the gate. 190 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: That's that's not going away anytime soon, because they're still there. 191 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: I always think about that. 192 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 7: I'm no expert, but I know that, you know looks 193 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 7: it's gonna be. It's gonna take some time. And I 194 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 7: remember working at rental car agencies with those carbon copy 195 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 7: printers too, so you know, it's just it's just how 196 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 7: it is. 197 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 3: Alex Caparolla, thanks so much for spending time with us. 198 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 3: Happy Thanksgiving to you News Nation's national correspondent. 199 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: Thanks so much, happy, Thanks, yeah, Thanks. 200 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 3: Lou Penrose infa John co Belt on kf I AM 201 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 3: six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 202 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Coblt on demand from KFI AM sixty. 203 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 3: Loup Penrose Infa John Coblt on the John Covelt Show. 204 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 3: Everybody focused on getting to where they need to be tonight, 205 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 3: So stay tuned to can'f im six forty.

We're talking about the affordability 208 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 3: of this year's Thanksgiving. By all numbers, it is certainly 209 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 3: more affordable. But for some reason, Americans don't think America 210 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: is affordable right now. 211 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: And it's a conundrum. 212 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 3: And of course the President is trying to cheerlead a 213 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 3: little bit because it's his economy. He wants things to 214 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 3: be affordable, but he wants you to know that they're affordable. 215 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: It's not worth doing all. 216 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 3: This work to make America great again if you don't 217 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: feel like America's great again. 218 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 8: Yes, I just bought a two pack twelve soft rolls 219 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 8: Pavilions own for four to ninety nine. 220 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: For twelve pack, so not too bad. 221 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 8: I won't be eating any of it because it was 222 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 8: some crazy carbs, but nonetheless, everyone else will en. 223 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 3: I appreciate the call that is some crazy carbs, but 224 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: it's Thanksgiving. 225 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: Four nine for a twelve pack at. 226 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 3: Pavilions is good, but four ninety nine is it a steal? 227 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 7: Dude? 228 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 8: Speaking of the McDonald's app, you can get forty chicken 229 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 8: nuggets for twelve dollars. 230 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: Just get forty chicken nuggets. Everything's affordable. There's a good 231 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day hack for you. 232 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 6: Uh. 233 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: Here's more on the consumer confidence question. 234 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 9: The Trump administration is making the case that prices are down. 235 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 9: Data from ols FAGO shows costs for common items like turkey, stuffing, cranberries, 236 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 9: frozen vegetables, and dinner rolls are lower, but consumer sentiment 237 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 9: is still pretty gloomy. Fox News polls show a majority 238 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 9: of Americans aren't happy with the way the economy is going. 239 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: All right, so that's an interesting question. 240 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 3: A majority of Americans, Okay, So let's start with that. 241 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: Certainly things are cheaper. Everybody is saying it. 242 00:12:53,600 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving overall is down five percent, a majority of an Americans, 243 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 3: almost half of Americans voted for Kamala Harris. So all 244 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 3: it takes is every American with Trump derangement syndrome that 245 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 3: just wants to hate on Trump, even if things are 246 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 3: in fact cheaper and Thanksgiving is more affordable, They're just 247 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 3: going to say Trump economy sucks because Orange Man bad. 248 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: So you take. 249 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: Everybody that voted for Kamala Harris and a couple of 250 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: independent Neair Dowells, and boom, you got fifty plus one. 251 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: There's a majority of Americans saying that the economy sucks. 252 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 3: So you got to be careful with this whole majority 253 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 3: of Americans thing when we are so closely divided and 254 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 3: the other thing. And this is going to be a 255 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 3: problem for Trump. I think in the messaging going forward, 256 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: things are way better than they were on January twentieth. 257 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: On every platform, right, I mean international affairs, he's on 258 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: tom of it. 259 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 3: Every nation that's been fighting, they all have to come 260 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,479 Speaker 3: to the White House to get their fights sorted out. 261 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 3: Middle least thing that's under control. We'll see where that goes. 262 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 3: But it's not open war like it was in gosm 263 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: back home, which I care more about than anywhere else 264 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 3: on the planet. Right, Energy and dependence. We're back to 265 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: energy and dependence. We are drilling in Alaska. We may 266 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 3: soon be drilling off the coast of California, but we 267 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 3: are drilling, baby drilling. That's bringing energy prices down. That's 268 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 3: good for you because everything in the store was brought there. 269 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: By a truck. 270 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: So if you bring down the cost of that truck 271 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 3: getting to the grocery store, that immediately brings down the 272 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 3: cost of everything in the grocery store. Frankly, I would 273 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 3: argue that everything you have is brought to you by 274 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 3: a truck. Everything you're kitchen table, all the food on it, 275 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 3: the chairs, the car in your garage, it's all brought 276 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 3: to you by a truck. So if the cost of 277 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 3: fueling up that truck goes down, then the cost of everything. 278 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: That's an immediate impact of bringing down energy prices, which 279 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 3: President Trump pledged. 280 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: He was going to do. 281 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 3: But there is going to be a diminishing level of 282 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 3: marginal return on prosperity. In economics, we have this concept 283 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 3: called the diminishing level of marginal return. 284 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: That means, let's say you love. 285 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 3: Oreo cookies and you could just you love them, you 286 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 3: can't get enough. You couldn't stop eating Oreo cookies if 287 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 3: someone provided you NonStop. So I buy you a box 288 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 3: of Oreo cookies, and you devour the entire box. And 289 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 3: then I get you a second box, and you devour. 290 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 3: Then I hand you a third box of Oreo cookies, 291 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 3: and about three quarters of the way through the box 292 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 3: you can enjoy that last twenty five percent of that 293 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 3: box of Oreo cookies. Then I hand you a fourth box, 294 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 3: and you don't. You don't open it. You won't open it. 295 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 3: That's called a diminishing level of marginal return. Right on 296 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 3: the margin, the return diminishes. The same thing happens with 297 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 3: good economic times and prosperity. Right, we notice things are 298 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 3: way better than they were when Trump first took office, 299 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 3: and way better than during the Biden years, and they'll 300 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 3: continue to get way better, and then they'll. 301 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: Just kind of lay level off into better. 302 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 3: You won't notice it, because it's not like next Thanksgiving 303 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 3: won't be so much better than this Thanksgiving. 304 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: This Thanksgiving way. 305 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: Better than last, and there's three other Thanksgivings ahead of 306 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 3: us in which Trump has got to constantly, you know, 307 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 3: beat last years, or else people will say, well, it's 308 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 3: flat or even they've gone up a little bit, so 309 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 3: that's gonna have to be a very challenging narrative. I mean, 310 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 3: we always want things to be better, but things are 311 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 3: hot right now. They can only get so hot then 312 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 3: you have to actually go in the other direction with 313 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 3: inflation and cool things down, and you don't want to 314 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 3: do that. So there's a lot to be done. Certainly, 315 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 3: there is a lot more to do, but we're on 316 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 3: the right track and it's going to be a fantastic 317 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 3: holiday and everybody is the fact that we are traveling 318 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 3: in record numbers, whether people admit it or not, proves 319 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 3: that you can afford to travel in record numbers, even. 320 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: Though, even though, even though. 321 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 3: Right even though housing is expensive, oh boy, yeah it is. 322 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 3: You live in southern California. You're not hanging out with 323 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 3: the snowplows in Chicago. So it's always going to be 324 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 3: a little bit more expensive to live in desirable places. 325 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: And there's always going to be some level of inflation. 326 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 3: And that's good for you because you want the value 327 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 3: of your house to go up and you want your 328 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 3: wages to go up. You just don't want it to 329 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 3: outpace your wages. And that's a tricky little game that 330 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 3: economists play with. So happy Thanksgiving times are good, Lou Penrose. 331 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 3: If a John Coblt on KFI AM six forty live 332 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 3: on the iHeartRadio app. 333 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI six. 334 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 3: Lou Penrose in for John Cobelt on the John Cobelt 335 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 3: Show talking about the Big holiday and all the discussions 336 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 3: about Turkey and about affordability and everything else. 337 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 8: Well, you are completely full of lives, just spewing the 338 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 8: crap out. 339 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: Unbelievable how you twist the truth around.

Certainly it was once a week 375 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: during football. I have three boys, and my wife and 376 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: I basically have the same menu during the week because 377 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 3: it's just easier, Like you find something that all three 378 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 3: kids like and will eat, and you don't have to 379 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 3: hear about it, and you stick with the recipes. How 380 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 3: you change things up every once in a while, but 381 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 3: with lacrosse and football and who knows what I'm reading, 382 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 3: it's just easier to know in the morning what we're 383 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 3: going to be serving them for dinner, so then you 384 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 3: go buy what you need on Sunday and that's I mean, 385 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 3: that's working for us. And the turkey breast in the 386 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: crock pot was a big fave. You had a side 387 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 3: of greens to that, and you're golden and turkeys just 388 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 3: an inexpensive bird. 389 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: It always has been. 390 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 3: And you don't have to prepare every turkey dinner like 391 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 3: it's Thanksgiving, Like you don't have to do sweet potatoes, 392 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 3: mashed potatoes or smashed potatoes if you're like my twelve 393 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 3: year old, obviously you don't have to have cranberry sauce. 394 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: Frankly ever, but like. 395 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 3: Just turkey as your protein is a very inexpensive way 396 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 3: to go and always has been. 397 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: So this was never really a big deal. 398 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 3: What it is is the tradition of the feast where 399 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 3: you have the big appetizers and then you know, you 400 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 3: graze around the kitchen and then the bird, and then 401 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 3: the desserts, and then the coffee and then all the booze. Right, 402 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 3: it's a feast, it's a party. That's what makes it 403 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 3: a big thing. In my family, we do it completely backwards. 404 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: You want to know what the tradition is in my family, 405 00:21:54,440 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 3: The pumpkin pie is consumed at breakfast. You can't get 406 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 3: up early enough to beat my mother in law to 407 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 3: that pumpkin pie. 408 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: She's in that pumpkin pie. 409 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 3: She'll be in that pumpkin pie eight o'clock tomorrow morning, 410 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 3: and she has it with ice cream. My mother in 411 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 3: law always ate ice cream for breakfast. When I first 412 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 3: met my now wife, when she was my date, I 413 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 3: remember meeting her folks and for whatever reason, I had 414 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 3: to pick up earlier. Her mom was eating a bowl 415 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 3: of ice cream for breakfast with her coffee. 416 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: I thought, that's smart. Why aren't we all doing that? 417 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: That makes all the sense in the world if you 418 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 3: think it's through. So she'll, yeah, she'll have pumpkin pie 419 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 3: al the mode for breakfast and that now everybody does it. 420 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 3: So the pumpkin pie is the breakfast. Then we'll start 421 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 3: cutting up appetizers and somebody will work on the bird 422 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 3: and yeah, we really we don't have dessert. We might 423 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 3: have coffee or a nightcap, but that's the tradition in 424 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 3: our house.
