All right, good people. So today is Monday, November the 17th, and we got a lot to get into because the economy is economic.

It's a kind of sicken. audience. All right, good people. So today is Monday, November the 17th, and we got a lot to get

into because the economy is economiccan. It's a kind of sicken. It's not good out there. And we are right now in the throes of the W.E.I. Economic Reality. That W.E.I stands for white, entitled, and incompetent. And it's basically the sort of economy that you get when you put people who don't know things in charge and they pretend like they know things and they make really bad

decisions and crash economies up and down, the eastern seaboard, the western seaboard and everything in between the Midwest, flyover country, all of it. When you put people who don't know things in charge and then they run things the way that people who don't know things do, this following conversation is what you end up getting. I'd like to remind you all about a quote from one of my favorite white presidents to quote, and that was Lyndon B. Johnson, and Lyndon B. Johnson is attributed with having saying the following. If you can convince the lowest white man that he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pockets. Hell, give him somebody to look down upon, and he'll empty his pockets for you. Now, I want you to take a listen to this video clip. This is Jose Can You See, and he is sharing a video clip of Trump voters who had to, as a result of Donald Trump's policies, had to shut down their North Carolina business, which had been in their family for 40 years because Donald Trump's tariffs were so bad that they could not weather the storm.

Unlike often when we hear these sorts of hard luck stories, the reporter in this story asked these gentlemen if they would vote for Donald Trump again.

And you will probably not be surprised by their answer, but you should take a listen anyway.

Meet Wilson Jones. He and his brother are sixth generation lumbermen owners of Mackie's

fairy sawmill in North Carolina.

And they both voted for Donald Trump all three times. And because of the Trump tariffs, they had to shut down their family business of almost 40 years and lay off 50 workers.

Now, whenever stories like this come out, there's only one question I wish reporters would ask.

Knowing what you know now, would you still vote for Donald Trump again? And this time they did.

Watch.

Do you have any regrets about voting for? There are some things I regret about voting for President

Trump. Yes, 100%. Trade policy is one of them, even though that I wish he could have

moderated his tone. Well, I understand you have to do one thing to get elected and then something

else, but I wish it hadn't turned out that way. That being said, given to two people running, regardless of what they

said on the campaign trail, I would have voted for President George. I don't necessarily have

regrets. I mean, it came out, but that's what he was going to fight for. And knowingly, that would affect us probably because the only place to really ship a volume of lumber was either Vietnam or China.

And so you know it's going to affect us.

But outside of not voting, I don't think I had a choice to vote any other direction.
