Hey, everyone, it's me Sam Stein again, managing Ed of the Bullwork, and I'm here with

Catherine Pell, author of The Receipts Newsletter. She's straight back from a Grateful Dead show with her shirt on. Laundry Day. I was going to wear, no, I was going to wear a tie-dye shirt, too. I'm glad we didn't, I'm glad we didn't do that. That would have been embarrassing, Sam. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. We're going to be

talking about gas prices. I guess, yeah, gas prices primarily, but the larger thing here is that

suddenly Republicans have been, you know, just running consistently on, well, we're making

life easier for Americans. We're going to decrease the cost of living. They're turning around in the aftermath of the war in Iran and saying, you know what?

Things are going to get a little bit expensive and people just have to grin and bear it.

It's an abrupt change of messaging and we're going to unpack it.

So, Catherine, you've been pointing this out.

I hadn't really seen all the clips until recently,

but it is sort of remarkable. We're going to get to the clips in a little bit how big a 180

this is with respect to messaging around affordability. Oh, absolutely. Trump came into office,

arguably won the election on an argument that he was going to bring prices down, that Biden had

made your life much more expensive and only Trump could fix it. He was going to bring costs down,

tame inflation, and make everybody rich again. And instead, he has made everyone much poorer

even before, well, maybe almost everyone I should qualify.

Almost everyone much poorer.

His sons are doing just fine.

Let's just be clear about that.

His sons are doing fine.

He's doing fine.

Lots of cabinet members are doing fine.

Christy Nome seems to be doing fine, even though she got her new promotion of sorts to the whatever of the shield.
