Obviously we've done a lot of work. The big beautiful bill, the Working Families Tax Code, all of our legislation has been geared towards the cost of living, affordability, bringing the cost of living down. We put in all those conditions in the economy to let it take off like a rocket. And we were doing that at the beginning of the first quarter and then the Iran skirmish began. So when this settles out, gas prices come back down to earth. That means [00:00:18] your grocery prices come down again because of transport costs and all the rest. be a big factor, the kitchen table issues are gonna decide the midterms. Can those things come down in time to help you out in the midterm? Yes, we got plenty of runway, we have better candidates, we have a fundraising advantage, we're super excited about the midterms. I'm absolutely [00:00:34] convinced that we're gonna grow the majority and we'll get this done and make history. Now just say what you wanna be true, Mike Johnson, and maybe some of it will work out. Not to say that every bit of that was a lie, they have raised more money. Now, That is also the same thing as saying rich people want them still to be in charge and he didn't phrase it that [00:00:52] way. We have better candidates is an outright lie. But the kitchen table thing is interesting. He said the big beautiful bill was doing all this work to take down prices. I don't believe that. I don't know how many tax cuts you need to give to millionaires and billionaires and what effect that could possibly have on inflation, particularly in a time when Donald Trump's [00:01:10] tariffs are still in effect. And then you notice what he said, the Iran skirmish started, did it? passively, it just began like an act of God, like a wildfire. Nobody caused it or anything. So you mean Donald Trump started it. So you mean maybe we could have been doing work to [00:01:27] bring down prices, but instead, Donald Trump, the guy who I will never criticize publicly, chose to start a boneheaded war. That's the message that you're bringing to voters. Now, that's the sort of thing that theoretically a serious journalist seated across from you might have had a follow up question about. Hey, who exactly started that conflict? Of course, [00:01:45] he's on there on Fox. they only care about the Republican Party. Fair and balanced is totally out the door. You'll notice they said, is there enough time for prices to come down to help you? Not the American people, the Republican Party, that is what Fox is focused on. But [00:02:00] anyway, as of right now, the American people are not as optimistic about the economy as Mike Johnson is right there. You look at this poll right now of Trump's management of the economy, 33 % approve of it. Basically, all of that is lingering Republican support, but even there he's just at 63%, which for the cult of personality of MAGA is really bad. One [00:02:21] in four independents effectively are okay with the state of the economy. And John Fetterman, I suppose, is left right there. But meanwhile, Donald Trump is losing another voting block so badly that Harry Inton uh actually laughed on air about it. Take a look. Men under 30, [00:02:38] these again are the voters who power Trump to victory. back in 2024, in the fall of 2024 versus Kamala Harris, Trump was more trusted on the economy than Harris by get this, a seven point margin. Holy Toledo, look at that percentage now. Look at how young men have [00:02:55] turned the net approval among young men for Donald Trump and the economy minus 59 points. Right, I'm laughing because the turn is so absurd. This is a turnaround of what is this do the math with me right here of 66 points 66 points in less than two years time just [00:03:11] a year and a half in terms of feeling towards Trump and the economy men under 30 on Trump Look at this in the 2024 election Donald Trump won that vote by one point He was the first Republican nominee to win young men this entire century But now it's a different tune his [00:03:30] net approval rating Among young men, look at this, minus 55 points. Yeah, that is massive. If it was a Democrat, by the way, it would be like the main story on the news. Why are the Democrats so bad when it comes to men? But for some reason, it's not a big issue, I guess, [00:03:47] when it's Republicans. But don't worry, he's seeing all this bad polling and he's got a plan to turn it around. AI slop, I guess. This is what he's posting as the economy's in shambles, as he's unable to end any wars. that he's going to invade Greenland, that he has a nicer pool [00:04:05] than Biden, that he was uh feeling up a pillar outside of the White House for six minutes, by the way. He was transfixed by that goddamn thing. And that the pool is longer than one [00:04:21] World Trade Center is tall. These are things the President posted online in the last 24 hours amidst dozens and dozens of other slops. So Keith, as a Democrat, I'm worried because with stuff like that, I don't think the Democratic advantage can possibly hold. What do you think? [00:04:39] I mean, it's true that pool is bigger than the World Trade Center and with that's something we should be worried about November. It's like absurd. It's absurd. ah I will say with the economy, it's like COVID. Remember COVID? It's the one thing he couldn't lie about because [00:04:58] people were dying. And so he tried to do the thing where he was like, well, we'll just not talk about it and it will move on. No, I think it's the same thing with this. They're trying to do the Donald Trump lie and boast away out of the economy. It's not going to work. People know when things cost more. You can't deny it. And I think it's going to have real implications [00:05:18] to uh the general election. And yeah, like him posting that slop, I think actually should be. very big, imagine if he was releasing that as a press release from the White House with [00:05:34] the White House branding on it. It's insane. It's insane for the President to be shit posting on his blog. I don't call it a social media platform. It's a blog. Only one person writes on it and then other people comment. And it should be a bigger story because what the President [00:05:51] says should be important and it should matter. And if he is talking about that, then I think the news shouldn't ignore it and they should actually investigate why he's saying it.
