ROB SCHMITT (HOST): After crippling businesses with mass inflation, the Biden campaign strategy to evade the consequences, the political consequences of their insane spending -- well, blame those businesses for raising prices on the American people. Biden launching a fully political joint task force between the Federal Trade Commission and the DOJ, claiming it's going to go after unfair and illegal corporate pricing. This is all just for optics. And, of course, the media is playing along with this narrative. Sesame Street, frequent purveyors of the new woke agenda on your kids, now has the Cookie Monster's Twitter account spewing Joe Biden's political talking points, complaining about expensive cookies and blaming companies that make cookies rather than the DC spending machine that is adding a trillion to our national debt every 100 days. The media getting the memo as well.
...
It's so perverse to see how they're -- I mean, this is purely political. They have ABC in bed with them. They've got Sesame Street in bed with them. All of this is just a tactic.
STEVE MOORE (GUEST): Yeah, I hate to see the Cookie Monster being politicized like this. I grew up with the Cookie Monster 35, 40 years ago. Listen, this is just another form of inflation. By the way, shrinkflation is happening. I mean, you get a new bag of Doritos, you know, the bag used to be this big and now it's this big. You used to get 28 chips, now you get 24 chips. You know, so that's what you're doing under Biden and I don't understand why he's promoting this because it's happened on his watch, Rob. And what companies are doing because their costs are so high, just like family costs are up, they have to -- like, restaurants are giving you smaller portions, and that's because Biden has spent so many trillions of dollars. He's drained money out of the private economy. And so, the real inflation rate when you take into account that you're getting less food probably is closer to 30 percent for groceries now.
