Let's get into Friday feedback for the
00:00:02
week. YouTube comments, Instagram
00:00:05
comments, Twitter replies, Substack
00:00:08
replies, etc. This sort of thing. We
00:00:11
start with JobK Flow who says, "Do you
00:00:16
have a house or a mortgage? Just
00:00:19
curious. Mortgage rates are down by 50%
00:00:23
since O Biden. Even fuel in California
00:00:28
is still hovering just below $5, which
00:00:31
is a gruesome thing, not a Trump thing,
00:00:33
but my butter is cheaper now than it was
00:00:36
a year ago. Oh boy, that is a lot. First
00:00:39
of all, little bit of confusion.
00:00:42
Mortgage rates aren't down by 50%.
00:00:46
Mortgage rates are down by a little
00:00:48
under 50 points. That's 0.5 percentage
00:00:54
point.5 percentage points. Um, so
00:00:59
this is like the prototypical thing of I
00:01:01
don't think you know what's going on. I
00:01:04
don't think you know what you're saying,
00:01:07
but you've decided that Trump's great.
00:01:10
So like cool, man. I guess like have fun
00:01:13
with your cheaper butter or whatever.
00:01:15
But I'm not really seeing a lot of
00:01:17
substance there to deal with. Let me I
00:01:20
will say one other thing. Um it's easy
00:01:23
to see stuff like that and just go, "Oh,
00:01:27
they're just so clueless. Who who who
00:01:28
who gives a damn? Who knows?" We have to
00:01:31
remember that even if you're clueless,
00:01:34
you can still vote. And depending on how
00:01:38
you vote, that cluelessness is something
00:01:42
that can be weaponized. In other words,
00:01:44
that person thought mortgage rates were
00:01:45
down 50%. They're really down 50 points.
00:01:49
5%. The fact that that person believes
00:01:53
that is the proof that for some voters,
00:01:57
Trump going everything's cheaper now.
00:02:00
We've saved mortgage rates. We saved
00:02:02
groceries. We did all of it. There's
00:02:04
people out there who can't tell the
00:02:06
difference. And they go, "He's reduced
00:02:08
mortgage prices 50%." It's like, "No, he
00:02:10
hasn't." That's highly relevant to how
00:02:12
people vote. All right. John Lynch on
00:02:15
Facebook comments the David Turdman
00:02:19
show.
00:02:21
Cool, man. Have fun with that. Okay, I
00:02:24
really I I appreciate that. Donald
00:02:27
Simpson writes on Facebook. So, if Biden
00:02:30
had this under control, why weren't
00:02:33
prices coming down then? Well, let me
00:02:36
explain again that prices coming down
00:02:41
means inflation is negative. Inflation
00:02:43
is less than zero. It is negative. That
00:02:46
is extraordinarily rare in modern
00:02:50
western wealthy economies. And it's
00:02:52
usually a bad thing when you start to
00:02:55
see price deflation. Almost always it
00:02:59
goes handinhand with a demand collapse
00:03:02
where the economy is doing so terribly
00:03:04
that people aren't demanding goods and
00:03:06
services and therefore you start to see
00:03:09
a real decline. The difference that a
00:03:13
lot of people don't seem to get is that
00:03:16
if the inflation rate comes down from
00:03:19
four to three or from 3 to two and a
00:03:22
half, prices still go up. if you're able
00:03:26
to and I I I can't believe that as
00:03:29
adults we are doing this. This is stuff
00:03:31
that a lot of people learn in high
00:03:34
school or like your first year in
00:03:35
college or intuitively you understand
00:03:38
that if you reduce your speed from 60 to
00:03:41
50 miles an hour, you're still going
00:03:44
forward. You've reduced your speed but
00:03:46
you're not going backwards. Similarly,
00:03:48
if you reduce inflation but it's still
00:03:50
positive. Prices are still going up just
00:03:52
not as fast. And so the whole question
00:03:55
of this has to start at what is a
00:03:59
desirable level of inflation and it's
00:04:02
between two to 3% some say 2 to 2 and a
00:04:06
half some say 2 and a half to 3%. In a
00:04:09
standard basic economy growth wage
00:04:11
growth productivity and expansion is
00:04:15
based around 2 to 3% uh inflation.
00:04:20
If the inflation globally in western
00:04:24
developed countries was 789 at the peak
00:04:27
of COVID and it came down to 2 and a
00:04:30
half three under Biden and it stayed at
00:04:32
2 and a half three under Donald Trump.
00:04:35
Either 2 and a half to three is okay or
00:04:38
it isn't but it's got to apply to both
00:04:40
Donald Trump and Joe Biden. So anyway,
00:04:42
Donald, good luck kind of figuring it
00:04:44
out. All right, James Larson on
00:04:46
Instagram says, "Funny, David, but you
00:04:50
said a single thing about Biden's
00:04:52
absolutely horrendous health. The best
00:04:55
you have is hypocrisy and never sell why
00:04:59
being a lefty is so great." Serious
00:05:02
question, and I am not trying to be
00:05:04
insulting here. Every single one of
00:05:08
these angry attack emails that I got
00:05:12
today, other than the David Turdman
00:05:14
show, are riddled with missing words,
00:05:18
grammatical problems, spelling issues,
00:05:21
and these really do seem to be native
00:05:23
English speakers. I mean, this is James
00:05:25
Larson. Assuming James Larson is his
00:05:28
real name, and this is really a picture
00:05:30
of him. I mean, I'm I'm sort of
00:05:32
generalizing, but this is probably an
00:05:34
Americanborn native English speaker. Why
00:05:38
is the writing always a a crime against
00:05:41
grammar? And I'm not trying to be
00:05:44
condescending when I ask that. I really
00:05:46
want to know why can they never string
00:05:48
together a coherent sentence. Okay, I
00:05:50
think what this person is accusing me of
00:05:52
is not talking about Biden's health. And
00:05:54
of course, in some sense, I was one of
00:05:57
the first people talking about Biden's
00:05:58
health way back in 2020 when I said that
00:06:02
this is clearly a notably diminished Joe
00:06:04
Biden compared to 2012 and his debate
00:06:06
performances in 2012. And I continued to
00:06:09
talk about it. I did believe at various
00:06:12
points during the 2024 campaign that
00:06:15
despite his slowing down, Biden was
00:06:18
still the best person for the job and
00:06:20
the most likely to win if given the
00:06:23
options uh that uh were being considered
00:06:27
in the sort of faux democratic primary
00:06:30
and given as an alternative to Donald
00:06:32
Trump. After the June 27th debate, I now
00:06:35
said I then said Biden's going to have
00:06:37
to drop out. It seems clear. Some of you
00:06:39
agreed. Some of you were angry. But
00:06:41
don't try to rewrite history. Criticize
00:06:43
me for things I actually did or said.
00:06:45
Give me a break. Brett Stafford on
00:06:47
Spotify writes, "I looked it up and the
00:06:50
economy is doing great. If not, just
00:06:53
fine." Well, I'm not sure which economic
00:06:57
indicator that is. I know about
00:06:59
inflation. I know about jobs numbers. I
00:07:01
know about the stock market. I know
00:07:03
about GDP. I know about average consumer
00:07:06
debt. I know about the consumer price
00:07:08
index, consumer confidence, trade
00:07:10
balance. Which metric is I looked it up
00:07:13
and the economy is doing great if not
00:07:16
just fine. I wish I could say more about
00:07:18
this one, but I don't know what Brett
00:07:20
really is talking about, so I'm not
00:07:22
exactly sure what what Brett is
00:07:24
referencing. But one of the things that
00:07:26
seems to always be true is that no
00:07:28
matter who is president, you can find
00:07:30
people who will argue this is the worst
00:07:32
economy in the history of the world. And
00:07:34
there are people who will argue this is
00:07:36
the best economy in the history of the
00:07:37
world. The truth is usually somewhere in
00:07:39
between and the trick is figuring out
00:07:40
where. Now right now the economy isn't
00:07:43
terrible. There are concerning signs. If
00:07:46
you say what are the areas of concern
00:07:48
right now, they are the leaky jobs
00:07:51
market where we've actually seen job
00:07:54
losses rather than job creation. That's
00:07:56
not a good sign. Um we are seeing the uh
00:08:00
price level uh not coming down despite
00:08:04
Trump and many Americans insisting when
00:08:06
Biden was president we must see a lower
00:08:08
price level. We are seeing delinquency
00:08:11
above 60 days on car loans go up. That's
00:08:15
a bad sign. That's one of those less
00:08:17
discussed leading indicators where when
00:08:19
people start missing payments on their
00:08:21
car loan, that can be a sign that
00:08:24
trouble is forthcoming. So yeah, I I
00:08:26
don't think this is um a disastrous
00:08:29
economy right now. It is definitely an
00:08:31
economy that is less robust and more
00:08:33
shaky than uh a year ago when Joe Biden
00:08:37
was finishing out his presidency. But
00:08:39
let's just kind of be honest about it,
00:08:41
you know, and and then also I think is
00:08:43
important to mention be honest about the
00:08:45
areas over which a president does have
00:08:47
influence versus areas over which a
00:08:49
president does not have influence. All
00:08:50
right, Brent says, "My 11year-old
00:08:54
daughter was listening to them on the
00:08:56
last episode trying to explain the MRI
00:09:00
conspiracy and she's like, "They're
00:09:03
obviously lying. My 11-year-old
00:09:06
daughter, not a grown adult, who can't
00:09:09
see the forest for the trees. Good
00:09:10
grief." Yeah. I mean, you know, you you
00:09:13
don't have to believe that Trump has
00:09:15
Alzheimer's
00:09:17
to to recognize
00:09:20
that they are not being transparent
00:09:22
about what's going on with Trump. And
00:09:24
it's not only the fact that he's having
00:09:26
the MRIs and they weren't disclosed, but
00:09:27
that when Trump acknowledged that he had
00:09:29
an MRI, it took them months to figure
00:09:31
out what to say the MRI was for. Uh, any
00:09:35
casual observer would clearly recognize
00:09:38
that this is not an administration.
00:09:41
um concerned with medical transparency
00:09:44
despite having demanded it endlessly
00:09:46
from President Joe Biden. All right.
00:09:48
Nigel Cops says, "Weekly turtlenecks
00:09:52
until the morale improves." Yeah. You
00:09:54
know, um when it's cold, I'll sometimes
00:09:57
pull out a turtleneck. And nine out of
00:09:59
10 emails that I get about turtlenecks
00:10:01
or jokes, one out of 10 is serious where
00:10:03
someone is like, "David, if anybody were
00:10:06
to see you wearing that turtleneck, it
00:10:08
would really hurt the show. Please don't
00:10:10
do that. Um, I really think that
00:10:12
turtlenecks are only about the eighth
00:10:15
most important thing happening on the
00:10:17
show. So, yes, the turtlenecks will
00:10:19
continue until morale improves. Fight
00:10:22
says, "Dude, you have to stop playing
00:10:26
Trump clips. We don't need to actually
00:10:29
hear his It's unfucking
00:10:33
bearable." I'm getting a rash hearing
00:10:35
that speak. Just talk about it.
00:10:38
That will do. No, I disagree. Listen, if
00:10:40
I'm covering the president of the United
00:10:42
States and instead of playing him saying
00:10:45
the things I'm analyzing, I just tell
00:10:47
you this is what he said, I don't think
00:10:50
I'm doing I don't think I'm doing my
00:10:51
job. Uh we aren't talking about some
00:10:53
obscure commentator. We are talking
00:10:56
after all about the president of the
00:10:57
United States. And it is important to
00:11:00
include proof
00:11:02
when I'm weighing in on what Trump said
00:11:04
that he said it. And although I would
00:11:07
never make up a Trump quote and people
00:11:09
who watch this show and listen to this
00:11:10
show know that if every time I am
00:11:14
analyzing Trump's words, I simply tell
00:11:17
you what he said, I think I'm doing a
00:11:20
disservice. I I don't think that that
00:11:21
makes any sense. I want to hear from
00:11:23
you. I mean, let me know. Should I
00:11:25
simply be quoting Trump and never
00:11:26
playing what he says? I don't think that
00:11:28
makes any sense whatsoever. And I would
00:11:30
be like the only show doing it also. It
00:11:33
would I think it would be a bad idea.
00:11:35
But I'm open to having my mind changed.
