day or maybe you just want to hear it all over again uh our moist line is 877 moist 86

friday we're going to do it twice 877 moist 86 so use the talkback feature on the i heart radio

app i am often baffled by everything. What goes out in the world, how media covers

stories, weird issues or phrases that get repeated over and over again by everybody in politics

and the media. And, you know, you can almost see the wheels of the

propaganda machine working.

So I've noticed, and if you follow the news at all, you can't help but notice that there's a

word that was rarely used in recent years.

Affordability, which is being repeated over and over again.

Self-evident.

Affordability means do people have enough money to buy the stuff they need to live at a decent level?

And that nation has suddenly, maybe this happened a week ago Tuesday, become

unaffordable.

And so it's become a big weapon to be used for the next election cycle against Trump.

And I was trying to figure out like why suddenly keep you know, keep talking about people upset about prices.

Prices are high.

Prices are high.

But why are people upset when the inflation rate is so much less than it was under Biden?

Under Biden, it was over 9%.

Now it's under 3%.

And I think what's happened is that Trump campaigned and people over promise and distort when they campaigned that he was going to lower prices.
