Etkojen ja jatkojen välissä kahden ihmisen välillä kipinöin. Väissä istuma joutuu juustoisen hetken väli kädeeksi. Onneksi kädessä on hampurlainen, jonka välissä suuretkin tunteet sulavat. Tähän väliin paneroidulla Seddarpi ja eddarkastikella täytetty tupla Sedar hampurilainen nyt vain 8,50.

Welcome to Pod Save America. I'm Jon Favreau. I'm Jon Lovett. Tommy Vietor. On today's show, we'll talk about Trump's last-ditch effort to convince voters Republicans care about the cost of living, Democrats' big decision on a Republican data center bill, Pete Hegseth facing GOP critics and a possible impeachment over the Iran war. And the White House spending your tax dollars on Trump campaign ads. Alright, guys, we are five weeks out from election day and the numbers that may end up being more predictive than any poll are these. Four dollars and fifty cents a gallon for gas, six dollars and fifty cents for diesel, and consumer sentiment now at its second lowest level in history, lower even than the height of the pandemic or the 2008 financial crisis.
Jon Favreau 2:42
And it isn't just Democrats, Republican consumer sentiment is now down. twenty percent since January.

Why are high gas and diesel prices undermining Trump’s claims about the economy?

Jon Favreau 2:49
Which does raise questions about whether uh this kind of messaging from Donald Trump is moving the needle.
The best economy we've ever had. I've reduced the prices, but they like to say affordability, but they're the ones that cause the affordability problem. I don't have to know anything about you. Your four oh one K has doubled in a short period of time. It's doubled. You're twice as wealthy as you were a short time ago, every one of you. And that's because of me. Have a good time, everybody.
Jon Favreau 3:20
You're twice as wealthy and that's 'cause of me. Have a good time. That's it. Yeah. That's the closing argument. Uh so the White House is trying to uh limit the damage of what they've done in the last couple of years with an assortment of gimmicks now. Uh Trump's reportedly still weighing an export ban on diesel. Um and in that appearance uh on Monday in the Oval, uh that was an announcement that a Minnesota company will spend fifteen billion dollars to build the new steel plant in Iowa. That could create seventeen hundred jobs when it opens. In twenty thirty You think that you think that'll do it?
John Lovett 3:57
We'll help the midterms in twenty thirty, maybe.
Tommy Vietor 4:00
I think it's a smart idea in the short term in Iowa. I mean, I was talking to some a friend in Iowa today who said like the Democratic reaction is um, do you guys remember when Trump brought the CEO of Foxconn to the White House and announced they would open a plant for like thirteen to make thirteen thousand new jobs in Wisconsin in twenty seventeen?
