acant? How does it survive that? I always speculate that there are some magic numbers for things to fall apart. One of them is 10%, the other is 20%. That if anything goes to 10% problem, whatever it is, whatever the problem is, if it gets to 10%, then things could start getting out of control, but also 20%. Depending on the thing, you know, so whenever I see a 10 or a 20 coming, I'm like, whoa, 1…
← Previous segment →Democrats have an offer. There's something to respond to. And people told me, "Scott, the reason you can't say yes," and see if you agree with this. Okay, this is the part where I'm going to catch you. So put on your smartest thinking cap and see where this is going.
So people told me, Scott, if you let this run for another year and you agree to an extension to essentially the current system, then you will have essentially created yet another system that never goes away. If you don't get it now, you'll never be able to get it. Right? Look at the comments. If you don't turn this off when you can, when you've got an opportunity, you might never get another opportunity to turn it off. Is that a reasonable point of view? How many of you think that's a reasonable point of view? That things the government does never go away. Any program you implement will never go away. How many of you would agree with that statement? We'll keep it simple.
Would you agree with the statement that any major program because you know this is a major program that any major program that's implemented and lasts for a while you can't get rid of it? Everybody on the same page? You know the trick is coming right? The prestige. I don't even know what that is but has something to do with magic.
All right. Now I'm going to turn your world around. If your point of view is that once something is implemented, it can't be changed, then it's already implemented and it can't be changed. You have a point of view that is both forward and backward at the same time. They can't both be true. It can't be true that you could stop this thing now after years of being implemented and being a major program if it's also true that you can't get rid of things once they've been put in. So which is it? You can't get rid of something once it's put in or you can. Only two possibilities. But many of you have chosen both. You see what I'm saying? Many of you have chosen both. You can't have both. It either can be canceled or it can't.
So what I'm saying is if you accept the notion, and by the way this is iffy. I'll admit this is iffy. But if you accept the notion that all things are cancellable if you try hard enough and Trump would be the ultimate canceller, right? If you just said to me, "Nobody could cancel this." And I said, "Trump? You telling me Trump couldn't cancel it? Trump could cancel it. He's like the ultimate canceller. So you wouldn't compare him to anybody else, you know, in the cancelling department." No. You got really quiet, didn't you?
All right. Now I need some confessions. For some of you, this twisted your brain around 280 degrees. How many of you had not realized that it was inconsistent to say you need to cancel it now because nothing can be canceled once it's in? How many had caught that before I mentioned it? It kind of sort of hiding there, isn't it? It's both obvious after I tell you, but if I don't tell you directly that it's there and it's looking right at you, you know, then there's no doubt about it. I mean, there's not even an opinion. It's just a description of what's happening. You're right. And we can get rid of it. Yeah. I'm usually on the there's some way you can get rid of anything.
Apparently 59% of Americans blame Trump for the increased grocery prices. Fox News is reporting that. 59%. Now you would think the 59% blaming grocery prices as often as you have to look at those. Those are the really insulting ones. You'd think that would be enough to keep

a Republican from ever winning again. Well, in 2028, let's say, don't you think that would be enough to just totally kill the Republican chances? So the real question would be, could that be fixed? Is there any way at all and I'm wondering if there's some clever totally out of the box way to approach food costs. So here's the minimum it would have to do. The minimum it would have to do is keep th…
