Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to Check with Chip, brought to you by Operation
- 0:02Speaker 1: Blue Dot Red, turning the Blue Dot Red one podcast
- 0:06Speaker 1: at a time. We need to clarify something for the record.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Typical of leftist media headlines is this one from Rolling Stone.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Vance pleads with voters, give us another chance. Vice President J.D.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Vance did not say that Republicans and the Trump administration
- 0:26Speaker 1: have failed at managing the economy and other policies. He
- 0:31Speaker 1: asked voters to give Republicans another chance to continue the
- 0:35Speaker 1: progress that has been made on the economy and other
- 0:39Speaker 1: priorities during Trump 47. Affordability is the number one buzzword
- 0:45Speaker 1: of this campaign cycle. I don't want to belabor the
- 0:48Speaker 1: point because I've already covered this multiple times, but inflation
- 0:53Speaker 1: averaged about 5% during the Biden administration and peaking at
- 0:59Speaker 1: 9% one year. Inflation has averaged about 3% during Trump 47.
- 1:05Speaker 1: The impact of inflation has been cut nearly in half.
- 1:09Speaker 1: There are two things to note here and to emphasize
- 1:12Speaker 1: in your effort to turn blue dots red. One, all
- 1:16Speaker 1: the people now complaining about affordability didn't make a peep
- 1:21Speaker 1: when prices were climbing by more than 20% during the
- 1:24Speaker 1: Biden administration. That's the economic pain people are feeling now. Two,
- 1:32Speaker 1: the critics are blaming Trump because prices are not going
- 1:35Speaker 1: back down to where they were before the Biden increase.
- 1:39Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. That's not how an economic
- 1:43Speaker 1: system works. The best you can hope for is to
- 1:46Speaker 1: freeze prices or reduce the rate of inflation, which Trump
- 1:50Speaker 1: has done. Vance said, Don't give power back to the
- 1:55Speaker 1: people who created the affordability crisis, the border and immigration crisis,
- 2:02Speaker 1: and other problems that Republicans are fixing. Give us another
- 2:06Speaker 1: chance means give us another victory at the polls so
- 2:11Speaker 1: we can continue the positive momentum generated over the last
- 2:15Speaker 1: two years. That's Check with Chip. I'm Chip Maxwell. Thank
- 2:20Speaker 1: you for listening.
