We had not really heard that from anybody, had we? And I have to admit, I've had the same transition. I was supportive of Obama when he first got elected because I thought, oh, this is sort of post-racial and maybe we'll just get over this whole racial stuff if you have a black president. And he seems pretty reasonable and he's not making too much trouble. And so I was generally in favor of Obama…

But I'm also thinking that maybe one of the big reasons the alcohol use is down is that there are so many influencers now who talk about not being drinkers. Have you noticed that there are a lot of influencers who say they don't drink? You know, Joe Rogan is the latest one. I'm one. So I don't know, some combination of all that stuff.
Trump's net approval on the topic of inflation according to Harry Enten, the CNN data polling kind of expert, is really bad. So when people are asked if Trump is good on the topic of inflation, they're not so happy with him. He's negative 20 points. So he's way underwater on his approval for handling inflation. But when he was running for office, he led Harris by nine points. So people thought that he would do a great job on inflation, but they seem to be disappointed in what's happening so far.
Now I should point out the presidents can't do a whole lot about inflation in six months. What did people expect him to do? He does seem to have been in charge when energy prices were stabilizing and food prices were stabilizing but everything still cost too much. So my take on this is that Harry said that if these numbers hold it would be practically impossible for the Republicans to hold the House in the midterms. But I don't know if people have an expectation about this inflation stuff. What exactly did they think somebody else was going to do?
And when you answer a question on inflation, it's not like a war. If you have a war, there's always someone who thinks it's a good idea. So you're going to have a mixed opinion. But if you say to people, "What do you think about prices?" Is there anybody in their right mind who would ever answer the question with, you know what, I think prices are pretty low these days. Yeah. I really appreciate that prices are low and I'm not bothered at all by inflation. Inflation is one of those things that everybody thinks is bad. So as soon as you say how do you feel about inflation with Trump in charge, just the inflation part of the question alone guarantees it's going to be negative. I guess the only way it can be p

ositive is if you're comparing it to some other person like Harris and you believe this should be even worse. But otherwise, just the topic itself guarantees that people have a negative opinion. Project Veritas has some kind of a scoop and a whistleblower, but the story is too complicated for me to understand. And I remind you that nobody's credible. So I don't know what to believe, but the whist…
