Trumps inflation is ruining America

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]Hey, welcome to the Dreway. Yes, the sun is going down in Vegas. And uh it's been another exciting day. And I say exciting day because folks, we got to get ready. This is the right show. You're you're at the right show at the right time. And just know on this show, you're going to get the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth. So help me. So let's get started, everybody. Let's go.

[00:00:30]Hey, welcome to the Dreway. Look, um I grew up I'm older. I'm in my 60s. I grew up in very inflationary times when I was young. Um and and I and I know many of you did the same thing in the 70s and 80s. You remember when I bought my first house, I think my interest rate was like 12.5%. I think my parents paid like 16 1.5%. And of course, houses were much less expensive. My first house cost $57,500.

[00:01:01]And it was a beautiful bile level, three-bedroom, two bath, fenced in yard, two-car garage, fireplace, the whole nine yards. Beautiful place.

[00:01:09]But the 2026 monster is beginning to show itself. The 30-year Treasury is now at an all-time high in the last 19 years, and rates are going higher. Bond rates are going higher. And they're going higher because inflation is higher.

[00:01:31]Inflation is nowhere near 2% 3%. It's nowhere close. It's more like 6% and everybody knows it. Everybody knows what the interest rate really is. Uh what the inflation rate really is. It's closer to 6%. So that's why people are shedding bonds. That's why people like, I don't want a 4% bond. I don't want a 5% bond.

[00:01:54]You better pay me more money. That's why the 30-year Treasury is now at the highest rate it's been in 19 years.

[00:02:02]That tells you something about the economy. It tells you about where we're at. It tells you that this president has our economy out of control.

[00:02:14]And I'm not even We haven't even gotten to summer yet. summer gasoline and summer electricity needs. There are now data centers all over the place. And you know what data centers need all the time? Energy. They need it all the time.

[00:02:32]And now what happens when it's 90 100° throughout the country and the demand for electricity is huge for air conditioning. Now you're competing against data centers. And you think there's not going to be brownouts. You think there's not going to be blackouts.

[00:02:48]Uh there is it's going to happen. I don't know where. I don't know when. But I kn do know one thing. It's going to happen. And I know prices are going to keep going higher. The prices for water going higher. Remember that $35 water bill that you used to get? Yeah. Those days are over. You know, we're talking about water bills in the future, 150, 250, $300 and higher.

[00:03:16]Yeah.

[00:03:17]uh the the the days of the water bill just being a few bucks, those days are over with. And the electric bill doubling and tripling over the next 3 to 5 years. Yeah. Think about your electric bill right now, what it is today. It's not even summer yet, but think about what it is normally each summer. It's going to be 10 to 15% higher than last summer. And within the next three to five years, it's going to double or triple.

[00:03:43]H how is that sustainable? How are you going to pay that? What is being done about that? Well, I can tell you what's being done. Absolutely nothing. You've got you've got data centers that there's one data center that took 30 million gallons of water. Didn't pay a dime for it. Now, could you take 30 million gallons of water and not pay for it?

[00:04:08]This is this is all ludicrous. But that the flux of today's show I the the thing I want you to understand is get the word inflation in your head because inflation is not 3%. It's not 4%. I don't care what they tell you. The real number is over 6%.

[00:04:30]That's the real number and that's what the bond market is telling you. The bond market knows it's 6%. So why do I want a 5% bond if if inflation is higher? Why do I want to lose money putting money in bonds?

[00:04:46]You don't. But all you have to do is look at the 10-year and look at the 30-year and you see it skyrocketing.

[00:04:53]And there's only one reason for that, one reason. And that main reason is inflation. And everybody knows inflation is going higher. It's in everything. You go to the grocery store today. I can't I can't tell you. I go to the grocery store every single day and I cannot believe. I look at prices and I look and I look and I start I'm now starting to think of meals that can be made for a lot less money. You know, um there are certain things uh that you can now get on the cheap like eggs for example. They fixed that whole egg situation where you know they were having to kill chickens and everything. They fixed that situation. So eggs are now economical.

[00:05:39]So now you have to start looking at the grocery store and going, "Well, beans are economical. Eggs are economical."

[00:05:46]You know what else? Pastas are economical. You know what's not economical is meats. Any type of meat is just oh my goodness. Uh it's gotten so ridiculously expensive. You got to figure out different ways to do your food budget and and what you're what you're going to have for breakfast, what you're going to have for lunch, what you're going to have for dinner, and plan it appropriately because inflation is absolutely killing food. I I know all of you struggle at the grocery store. I mean, you can get uh just a it seems like a few items and you're talking aboutund you're like, I just got this this and that's $140. How is this $140?

[00:06:30]It adds up really fast. And and going to Costco, I can remember when I I used to go, "Wow, I spent $300 at Costco. Wow.

[00:06:41]Spending $300 at Costco." People laugh at you. You know, you you you don't even have to fill up the basket to spend $300 at Costco. Spending 300 bucks now is is nothing. And that's just because everything has gotten so expensive. But I I'm I'm really want to warn you. I want to let you know in advance. It's going to get worse, especially when it comes to gasoline, energy, uh you know, water, you know, just the basics that we need to survive. It's going to get a lot more expensive. Water is going to get more expensive because now you're competing against data centers that use billions of gallons of water. Not millions, billions. I mean, it's insane how much water these the and you're forgetting that some of these data centers there's there's hundreds of them in certain states. Virginia has hundreds of them. Texas has hundreds of them.

[00:07:38]Florida has like 140. I mean, they're everywhere and they're competing for resources. And this summer, I'm telling you now, when you see your electric bill and you freak out when you see it, just know it's it's probably because you're sharing energy and energy demand with data centers. And so inflation is just going higher and higher. Bond rates are going higher and higher. And when bond rates go up, mortgage rates go up, you know, if you're trying to sell a house now, good luck. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. First of all, you've only got six weeks left. You have six weeks to sell your house. And that really, you've got the rest of May and June because 4th of July, I can tell you right now, is back to school. On July 5th, it's back to school, back to school, back to school, back to school. And K and parents and kids start focusing on the new school year. So, if you haven't sold your house by the 4th of July, you are not selling your house. and selling your house now with interest rates well over 6 12%. Good luck. A it's very possible over the next few months you could be looking at 7% mortgage rates because interest rates are going to keep going higher because we are doing nothing about our debt. We are piling on debt at a at a couple of trillion plus a year.

[00:09:02]That's right. A couple of trillion plus a year. And this president isn't slowing down one bit. This president is spending money like a drunken sailor.

[00:09:13]And let me tell you, inflation is going to eat at you. It's going to eat at your budgets. It's going to eat at your livelihoods. It's just going to eat at your soul. Because like I said, if you're my age, you've lived through this. You've seen this whole rodeo. And it's no fun because with in with great inflation comes recession and re as we all know recessions are no fun whatsoever. But with inflation that's what happens. And so it's coming. It's I'm not I'm probably not telling you anything that you don't know. But for those of you that don't know when you get inflation like this a recession comes right after it. And I don't care what anyone tells you. There is and and I'm sure no one can convince you right now that oh you know inflation's things are only going up two three%. Yeah that's it bologoney. Nobody believes that. I don't believe that and I know I know you don't believe that. All you got to do is look around and look at prices and go wait a minute. Last year that price was half that. And and I say that a lot now especially at the grocery store going to Costco and stuff. I I go, you know, I I just remember last year or the year before that. I mean, this was half that expensive and now it's this much.

[00:10:36]I I mean, where's the 2 3% at? I I it just cracks me up when they say, "Oh, it's, you know, it's up three and a half%." You know, I'm like, "What's up 3 and a half%. Not my auto insurance, you know." And like my buddy said, I he goes, "I wish," because he lives down in Florida, and he says, "I wish my homeowners insurance only went up." He goes, "My taxes just went up three times in the last six years." Three times in the last six years. And he goes, "My my home coverage has gone up every single year." And he says, "3%?" He goes, "That's laughable." He goes, "That's my my my increases have been double digit."

[00:11:15]So yeah, it's just all d But make no mistake, summer gas is coming. Summer gas comes in 10 days, 11 days. You know, June 1st is summer gas. And summer gas is between 15 and 25 cents more expensive. So, starting June 1st, your gas is already going to go up. And already now, Trump is begging other countries to help him with Iran. They they are not close to a settlement with Iran. And I don't care what Trump says. Oh, I'm a I'm I was just getting ready to b No, you weren't.

[00:11:51]You weren't ready to do anything. He's not ready to do anything. He doesn't know what to do. So, don't believe anything Trump says because he he's not prepared for anything. But what I want my audience, what I want you to do is be prepared for inflation.

[00:12:08]Be prepared for prices to go considerably higher and and everything go higher. Mortgage rates are going higher. Auto loans are going higher.

[00:12:18]Every with higher rates, everything becomes more expensive. So, be prepared.
