>> Geraldo: THANK YOU,
MR. CHAIRMAN.
EVERYTHING COST TOO DAMN MUCH
FIRST IT WAS THE PANDEMIC FAULT
AND NOW BIG MEAT.
WHO KNEW?
BIDEN’S WHITE HOUSE BLAMING THE
SOARING COST OF MEET ON THE
GREED OF PRODUCERS, HOLD THAT
THOUGHT, AS THE ADMINISTRATION
PRESIDES OVER INFLATION BLOATED
ECONOMY NOT SEEN IN 40 YEARS.
>> THE PRESIDENT, SECRETARY OF
AGRICULTURE HAVE BOTH SPOKEN TO
WHAT WE HAVE SEEN AS THE GREED
OF MEAT CONGLOMERATES, THAT SAN
AREA WHERE PEOPLE GO TO THE
GROCERY STORE AND TRYING TO BUY
A POUND OF MEAT, TWO POUNDS OF
MEAT, 10 POUNDS OF MEAT THE
PRICES ARE HIGHER.
THAT IS IN HIS VIEW AND THE VIEW
OF OUR SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
BECAUSE OF YOU COULD CALL IT
CORPORATE GREED, SURE.
>> Geraldo: CORPORATE GREED AND
BIG MEAT.
BLAMING BIG MEAT.
INSTEAD REPUBLICAN SENATOR TOM
COTTON SAYS THEY SHOULD BE
BLAMING THEIR OWN POLICIES.
>> THEY ARE BLAMING EVERYONE FOR
THIS RECORD INFLATION WHEN IT
JUST GOES BACK TO DEMOCRATIC
POLICIES.
LOOK, WE HAVE HAD THIS PANDEMIC
TWO YEARS.
FIRST IT WAG OIL AND GAS GAS
COMPANIES.
MEAT CONGLOMERATE NEXT WEEK ELF
ON THE SHELF WHEN THERE ISN’T
ENOUGH CHRISTMAS GIFTS UNDER THE
TREE.
>> Geraldo: WHO IS YOUR RUN FOR
D.A.?
HOW DID YOU PORTRAY THE
DEMOCRATIC RIVAL.
>> Judge Jeanine: I ALWAYS
PORTRAY THE RIVAL AS SOMEONE
SOFT ON CRIME.
>> Geraldo: BAD AS MEAT.
LIGHT ON MEAT.
>> Judge Jeanine: ABOUT HOW
STRONG I WAS.
MY RECORD.
WHAT I CAN I DIDN’T REALLY SPEND
A LOT OF TIME TRASHING.
>> Geraldo: POLITICS NOT -- THE
NEGATIVE.
>> Judge Jeanine: CAN I TALK
ABOUT THIS?
>> Geraldo: GO AHEAD.
>> Brian: JEANINE’S CAREER.
>> Judge Jeanine: HERE’S THE
BOTTOM LINE.
THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR AN
EXCUSE.
HE DOESN’T WANT TO ADMIT THAT
IT’S HIM.
THAT IT’S HIS POLICY.
>> Geraldo: POLITICS.
>> Judge Jeanine: THAT’S NOT
POLITICS.
>> Geraldo: ALWAYS BLAME THE
OTHER GUY.
>> Judge Jeanine: $3,500 THAT
THE AVERAGE AMERICAN FAMILY HAS
TO PAY THIS YEAR JUST TO SURVIVE
COMPARED TO LAST YEAR.
LAST YEAR WAS REALLY BAD YEAR,
YOU KNOW.
THE PANDEMIC AND EVERYTHING ELSE
HIT.
BUT WITH JOE BIDEN IN THERE PUT
MONEY INTO THE STIMULUS, INTO
THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THIS, THAT,
AND THE OTHER THING HIS
SO-CALLED BIDEN PIPER
INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE BOTTOM
LINE IS THAT WITH INFLATION AT
THE HIGHEST IT’S BEEN IN 40
YEARS AND AT 6.9%.
YOU KNOW, HE KEEPS WANTING TO
POUR MORE MONEY IN AND THAT
MEANS YOUR MONEY IS WORTH LESS
BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT MORE OF
IT.
>> Geraldo: I WANT TO STICK WITH
POLITICAL STEREOTYPING, DANA AND
THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION.
REMEMBER WELFARE QUEEN?
HE PORTRAYED A WHOLE CLASS OF
PEOPLE WHO BECAME THE ENEMY OF
THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN A VERY
SUCCINCT WAY BY FOCUSING ON ONE
PURPORTED WEALTHY AND DID THE
STORY DIDN’T EVEN PAN OUT.
IT WAS VERY EFFECTIVE
POLITICALLY.
THAT’S WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR
RIVAL.
DON’T YOU DEFINE YOUR RIVAL BIG
MEAT, BIG MEAT IS SOMETHING
PEOPLE CAN REMEMBER.
>> Dana: THEY ARE MAKING UP A
RIVAL.
LIKE BIG MEAT IS NOT THEIR
RIVAL.
THE RIVAL IS THEIR -- ARE THE
REPUBLICANS, BUT IT’S ALSO THE
FACT THAT THEY HAVE 69% OF
PEOPLE IN THE ABC POLL SAYING
THAT THEY ARE DISAPPROVE OF THE
WAY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
HANDLING INFLATION.
THAT’S A HUGE WAKE-UP CALL.
WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET 6% OF
AMERICANS TO AGREE ON TODAY.
THEY AGREE ON THAT?
WHAT HAPPENS?
A PROGRESSIVE GROUP PUTS OUT
POLL TESTED MESSAGING AND SAYS
HERE’S WHAT YOU DO TO FIGHT
BACK.
YOU JUST BLAME ALL OF THE
PRIVATE SECTOR FOR BEING GREEDY.
AND THEY TRIED IT WITH THE
ENERGY COMPANY.
NOW THEY ARE TRYING IT WITH
MEAT.
I’M NOT SAYING THAT THERE ISN’T
A PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN IT
COMES TO THE PRODUCERS, LIKE THE
CATTLE RANCHERS.
THAT IS A PROBLEM, I DO THINK,
THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
BOTH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ARE
LOOKING INTO.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO CONSUMER
PRICES, ALL THESE OTHER THINGS
FALL INTO IT.
YOU HAVE GOT TO GET THE COWS TO
MARKET.
YOU HAVE GOT TO GET THE TRUCKS
FUELED.
ALL OF THAT STUFF ADDS UP.
PACKAGING IS MORE EXPENSIVE.
THE SUPPLY CHAIN, ALL OF THAT
HAPPENS.
IF YOU EVER WONDERED HOW THE
DEMOCRATS GET ON ONE -- ON THE
SAME PAGE AND THEY ARE ALL
SINGING FROM THE SAME SONG SHEET
IT’S BECAUSE YOU HAVE A POLL
TESTED THING THAT GOES OUT
GREED.
THAT’S IT, GO OUT AND TALK ABOUT
GREED.
>> Geraldo: EVERY MORNING.
>> Dana: LAST THING IS THE
PROBLEM IS INITIALLY THEY SAID
INFLATION WASN’T HAPPENING.
THEN THEY SAID
TRANSITORY/TEMPORARY.
WELL IT’S GOING TO GET BETTER
AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR.
NOW THEY ARE SAYING ACTUALLY
IT’S THE GREEDY MEAT PACKERS.
>> Geraldo: SO FUNNY HOW THE
ISSUE HAS TO HIT EXACTLY RIGHT
FOR IT TO BE WANT ECONOMY SO WE
HAVE TO BE THE ECONOMY AT THAT
MOMENT FOR IT TO BE THE
PANDEMIC, WHATEVER.
AND IT JUST SEEMS IT’S SUCH A
RESOLVE THE DICE.
DO POLITICIANS EVER TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY?
>> Jesse: NO.
>> Judge Jeanine: I DID.
>> Jesse: DID YOU BUT YOU WERE A
JUDGE.
>> Judge Jeanine: I WAS A D.A.
>> Jesse: YOU ARE PERFECT.
>> Judge Jeanine: MAKES THREE
PERFECT AT THIS TABLE.
>> Jesse: COUPLE.
>> Judge Jeanine: NOT A COUPLE.
>> Jesse: DANA SAYS SOMETHING
AND SHE IS RIGHT.
THE GUY AT THE SUPERMARKET THE
PRICE GUN SHOOTS IT ON THE MEAT,
GETS A NOTE FROM BIG MEAT EVERY
WEEK WHAT THE PRICE OF THE
STEAKS IS GOING TO BE.
WHERE DO YOU THINK THAT PRICE
COMES FROM, INCREASED
TRANSPORTATION COSTS, LABOR
COSTS, PACKAGING COSTS, FUEL
COSTS, ENERGY COSTS.
IT’S ALL EXPENSIVE.
BIG MEAT IS CARRYING A LOT OF
COSTS SO THEY ARE GOING TO RAISE
PRICES.
YOU DON’T GET TO BECOME BIG MEAT
BY SELLING MEAT FOR FREE.
IF YOU BECOME MEAT FOR FREE YOU
BECOME LITTLE MEAT.
YOU DON’T WANT TO BE LITTLE
MEAT.
>> Geraldo: DO YOU HAVE THAT
FUNKY GRAPH ON HOW THE PRICE OF
GAS HAS REALLY PLUMMETED.
LOOK AT THAT LOOKS VERY
DRAMATIC.
>> Jesse: THAT’S NOT DRAMATIC
THAT’S 10 CENTS.
>> Geraldo: WAIT A MINUTE.
PUT THE GRAPH BACK, PLEASE.
IT LOOKED LIKE A DRAMATIC DROP
IN THE PRICE OF GASOLINE.
AS MY YOUNG COLLEAGUE POINTS
OUT, THAT’S ONLY 10 CENTS.
THEY HAVE VERTICAL TO MAKE THAT
GRAPH LIKE THE PRICE IS
PLUMMETING.
>> Jesse: IT’S A SLICK SALES
JOB.
I ALREADY KNEW IT BUT NOW THE
AUDIENCE KNOWS HOW SLICK THE
DEMOCRATS ARE.
IT WENT DOWN 10 CENTS IN TWO
WEEKS, GERALDO, IS THAT BECAUSE
BIG OIL IS LESS GREED J?
NO, OMICRON HAS ALL THE OIL
TRADERS.
>> Judge Jeanine: WITH BIG MEAT
I DON’T LIKE THE IDEA THAT JOHN
DUTTON FROM YELLOW STONE IS
RISING PRICES AND DOESN’T FIT IN
MY HEAD.
>> Brian: I HAVE NOT SEEN YELLOW
STONE, MEAT ISN’T THE BIG
PROBLEM BUT USED CARS IS UP 31%.
GAS IS UP 58%.
MEAT AT 15%.
THEN FURNITURE FOLLOWING RIGHT
BEHIND THAT, JEWELRY.
EFFECTS EVERYBODY, $3,400 PER
FAMILY.
I GET IT YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE
ALL THE ANSWERS BUT YOU HAVE TO
TRY.
THE MINUTE I THINK YOU JUST
DIMINISHED YOUR ARGUMENT WHEN
YOU SET UP SOMEBODY AS THE FALL
GUY AND IN THIS CASE IT’S
CORPORATIONS, BIG MEAT AND
CORPORATIONS BIG OIL.
AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO CREATE AN
ENEMY.
THE OTHER THING IS AND NO
OFFENSE BUT THE PRESS SECRETARY
SHOULD NOT BE ANSWERING COMPLEX
ECONOMIC PROBLEMS.
HAVE THE TREASURY SECRETARY OUT
THERE.
>> Dana: THAT’S A PROBLEM.
CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING HOW
THAT WORKS?
>> Brian: BIG MEAT STATEMENTS
THAT PEOPLE MOCK FOR 24 HOURS.
I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN EXPERT
KNOWS MORE THAN THE REPORTERS
OUT FROM FRONT.
>> Dana: LET ME TELL YOU WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN THE ECONOMY IS GOOD
AND GOOD NEWS YOU CAN FIND
ANYBODY FROM THE TREASURY
DEPARTMENT.
>> Brian: THEY DON’T WANT TO
COME OUT.
>> Dana: THATTHEY ARE BUSY.
THEY CAN’T SHOW UP.
TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT WHAT
HAPPENED IN THE FALL OF 2008 I
WAS LEARNING WHAT A CREDIT
DEFAULT SWAP WAS EVERY DAY.
>> Geraldo: DIDN’T YOU AT THE
STORY OF THE DAY WAS.
JIMMY CARTER WAS PRESIDENT AND
IN LATIN AMERICA COVERING HIS
TRIP TO SOUTH AMERICA.
AND SOMEBODY RAN THROUGH THE
HALLWAYS AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING
THE STORY IS AMY CARTER.
EVERYBODY WROTE ABOUT AMY CARTER
THAT DAY.
THE PRESS CAN BE EASILY STIRRED
TO COVER.
>> Brian: NOT ANYMORE.
>> Jesse: IT DOESN’T MAKE YOUR
MEAT BIGGER.
