Relax, we're exactly on the trajectory where we want to be. That's what MAGA Mike Johnson is saying when he was asked a question about affordability and the struggles of the American people. Melanie Zanona asked him, so what do you make of the concerns of people who are struggling living paycheck to paycheck right now? People feeling psychologically tortured under this Trump regime? What's gonna happen? He goes, just wait until next year. The budget bill's gonna kick in. The direct quote was, relax. We are exactly on the trajectory where we've always planned to be. Stay at the wheel, everybody. It's gonna be fine.

How does Tom Steyer define affordability in California?

Ben Meiselas 2:05
Our best days are ahead of us. Melanie Zanona then asked whether Johnson agrees with Donald Trump's assessment that affordability concerns are a hoax or a con job, to which Maga Mike goes, affordability is a real concern, but you see, Republicans, we're the ones that are dialed in like a laser with a laser focus on the cost of living and affordability. What he's referring to as a hoax is that the Democrats are trying to pretend as if it's a Republican problem. Oh, okay. Well, let's see what Donald Trump actually said in the Oval Office, Megan. Mike, let's play it. It's a conjunct.
Donald Trump 2:43
I think affordability is the greatest conjunct. They look at you and they say affordability. They don't say anything else. Everyone says, oh, their prices were so low.
Ben Meiselas 2:53
No, they had the worst inflation. Really? I mean, because you seem to be bringing the inflation up and you seem to also be having a jobless rate that looks like the Great Recession right now. And it seems that all of the people in your regime are focused on some of the strangest things in the world. Regression bringing us back to times when there weren't safety standards. And you have Sean Duffy, the transportation secretary, says, you know, the real issue is people don't say please and thank you enough when they go on airplanes anymore. And he goes, what we need to do is bring back the station wagon of the 1970s. Now, who right now, while you're struggling, is saying, you know what we really need right now?
Ben Meiselas 3:33
That 1970s station wagon. That's what I'm missing in my life. Let's play this clip.
And also, I think if you're building a car, developing a car that Joe Biden or Pete Buttigieg wanted you to build, that's different than market demand. I want the market to decide what kind of EV I should offer, what kind of vehicles do the American consumers want to buy. This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side, Phil. We can bring back toys to consumers.
Ben Meiselas 4:02
okay and then sean duffy says make sure you say please and thank you when you're in the airports no more pajamas everybody here play this clip of duffy
We've asked Americans to bring their better selves, to bring civility back to travel, to say, listen, let's say please and thank you.
