Experts in Ivory Towers, Americans in the Real World
(00:00.874)
Experts not living in the real world. We see this happen all the time. I got a call out friend of mine I used to come on my show on a regular basis when I had a a daily drive time talker Steven Moore Steven Moore used to be in charge for the club for growth Actually founded that and he had great success great success. They were actually I think the second best biggest fundraiser for Republicans next to the Republican Party themselves and he was very particular about who he gave money to. Very particularly, very much pushed for a pro-growth, low tax agenda. I used to have him on a regular basis. He got kicked out, a little bit of background, got kicked out of the club for growth because he criticized George W. Bush’s policies. This is 2004.
2004, that was when George W. Bush went in all guns, remember? Oh yeah, we’re quickin’ ass in Iraq, we needed butter. And he started all sorts of big government spending programs. It critical of that and the Club for Growth got upset. How dare you criticize a Republican? Got rid of him. And he started another group, I forget the name of it. But anyway, he’s bounced around. Neither here nor there. I watched even more.
yesterday and Stephen Moore has these issues. Oftentimes another guy, another guy, I another expert, expert art laugher is another one. And again, these guys have done some great work over the years. And I’m not particularly talking about art laugher right now. I just watched Stephen Moore on CNN basically say, Hey, hey, no, people don’t know what they’re talking about.
Yeah, look at GDP growth. Look at this by every metric out there. The economy is doing fantastic. Steven. I love you, buddy. Love you. Love you. But you need to get out and about a little bit, my friend. OK. When was the last time Stephen Moore went to fly over country? It’s the same problem lot of Democrats have. OK. You hang out way too much in D.C. Hang out way too much in New York. You’ve got to get out and about.

Your anecdotal crap, it’s garbage because it’s not true. Stop. You gotta stop. President has to stop. You have to stop telling people that everything is awesome. Cue the Lego song again. Everything is awesome because it’s not for everyone. If it was, they tell you. What do you think? Everybody is tuned in to the mainstream media. You think of the ratings that somebody’s cable news.
People don’t watch this crap anymore. You think that they’re getting their cue from that, they’re getting their cue from AOC and yeah, things are terrible. People know what they’re paying for their bills. They know how far their dollars are stretched. So yes, you can have Steven, and again, for all the great things that Steven has done, he’s never run a business before. He’s never run a business.
Not to mention fact, know, actually mingling with these people from all over again, I deal with small businesses. The data that you’re getting, Stephen, again, it’s government data that is not only that it’s bad. You already got the Fed saying that the jobs numbers are probably much, much worse that they’re even putting onto. We all know the inflation numbers have been garbage for 30 years. If you’ve listened to the experts and followed their nonsense and also the experts told you how to invest over that period of time,
Your portfolio is broken even. Oh, yeah, I saw 8 % for the past 30 years. You broke even. OK, congratulations. You’re missing it. You’re missing it. the sooner, the sooner Trump and the administration just say, you know what? And you could have been honest from the get go. You could have been honest. I know you came out and you said.
Prices are gonna come down right away. I’m gonna deal with inflation right away, which I knew was mission impossible. again, unforced areas, stupid tariffs, all this other crap that you’re doing. You show the American people that you’re working to bring prices down and you’ve done a great job. You got gas prices down and that’s gonna filter its way through. But what are we gonna do about agriculture here in this country? What are we gonna do for farmers here in this country that you throttled?
(04:44.472)
There’s a lot that could be done and granted we got some stuff coming down the pike and the big beautiful bill that’s gonna help businesses. But certainty is what’s most important. Not to mention stop insulting people’s intelligence. Stop telling people that they don’t know what’s going on in their own checkbook, their own balance sheet at their own homes. It’s a loser.
