I'm a single mom of five and becoming difficult to afford, you know, the basics. So can you please tell me what you're going to do to lower the prices for us? Yeah. So what we have to do, because the prices are so high, thank you, darling, very much. It's a great question. People are hurt by the cost of groceries, the cost of everything. There's nothing less expensive. If you go back four or five years, everything was just a fraction of what it is now. And they're making essentially if they make the same wages and they're getting wiped out, because prices are up 50, 60, 70 percent for a lot of things for some items, it's much more than that. Well, look at interest rates. They were two percent. Now they're 10 percent. But at 10 percent, you can't get the money at two percent. There was plenty of money for everybody for buying a house, et cetera, et cetera. But when you look at groceries, I think it's this thing that really I always say this is an election that I used to say determined by the stomach. Actually I don't believe that anymore. I think it's now determined by the brain, because nobody wants to have criminals pouring into our country. Nobody wants to have any of these horrible things that are happening to our country. But we're going to be bringing them down. It's going to start with energy. We're going to drill, baby, drill. Energy's coming way down. Energy's coming way down, and when energy comes down, everything else follows. That's what started this onslaught of inflation that the greatest we've ever had in our country. We had the greatest inflation over the list. And it actually, you know, we had almost no inflation. And that carried on for two years into there. I used to say his. Now I say there. But nobody even really knows who our president is, if you want to know who's our president. Who is he? Who is he? We're not sure who the president is. Yeah. Sounds good. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. But the inflation it carried on for two, almost two years into that, we had a solid no inflation. We had, it was solid. And then it exploded because what they did was the energy and also what they did just almost as importantly was they spent like nobody's ever spent. They went crazy. And the green new scam and they were spending on things that didn't help the country. And it also drove. So between the energy and the spending, the inflation went up and food prices came with it and rent came with it. Everything came with it. And we had, I think the worst inflation we've ever had. And we're going to bring it down. So we're going to bring it down with energy and interest rates. The interest rates are going to come down. But first we're going to get, and here's a statement that I make to you tonight. We are going to have energy. We have more liquid gold, I call it. You've heard that said liquid gold, that's oil and gas. We have more oil and gas, liquid gold than any country in the world, including Saudi Arabia and Russia. And we're going to bring it down. We're going to bring your energy bills down and also business for business where they can employ people, but we're going to bring the energy down by 50% in the first 5.0, 50% in the first 12 months. And when we do that, everything else is going to follow. Everything follows the energy. And because we have so much, you know, they don't drill, they go to Venezuela. We buy, we buy oil from Venezuela. What's that all about? And we have more than anybody else in the world. Think of it. Saudi Arabia doesn't have as much, Russia doesn't have as much, and we're going to other countries. We're going to drill and we're going to take it out. Your energy bills will be 5.0, 50% lower, one year from January 20th. One year from January 20th, okay? And that's going to have a huge impact, okay? Thank you. Say hello to your son. Thank you. Very good.
