If the economy is so bad, why did Americans just spend over $1 billion on THIS

2 weeks 3 days ago


If the economy is as bad as everyone says, why are Americans preparing to spend nearly $1 billion on Halloween costumes for their dogs?

That’s the question BlazeTV hosts Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau are asking as headlines warn of financial strain while consumers continue to spend on nonessential purchases.

“I’m a bit confused about the economy overall,” Stu says.

“Because, you know, when you have an economy, you have millions and millions of people participating in it. Some people are going to be doing very well,” he continues.

“Some people are going to be doing very poorly. That is the situation with every economy,” he adds.


And the attitude surrounding the economy “is very negative.”

“People are very upset about the economy, stuff costs too much. Now, I would argue when you look back at the data that almost all of this rise occurred during the Biden administration, like that’s when all the prices went up,” Stu says.

“At the same time, we’ve got stock market near all-time highs. We’ve got companies going through the roof. Obviously, AI being the main function there,” he continues.

“And we have weird measures of the economy,” he adds, before saying: “Dog parents.”

“Dog parents are going to spend nearly a billion dollars on Halloween costumes this year for their dogs. Now, I got to be honest with you, like there’s definitely pictures of my dogs in Halloween costumes,” Stu explains.

“I don’t care what anybody says,” he continues. “This isn’t the Fauci show where we kill the beagles. We dress them up.”

“Yes, it’s adorable,” Dave says.

Mike Johnson Warns America Could Face France-Style Riots if Democrats Take Congress

2 weeks 3 days ago
U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA) warns that TV images of violent riots in France could offer a preview of how America may look if radical Democrats gain control of Congress on November 3rd; he also charges that Christians opting to NOT vote because they “don’t like their choices” in some political contests are “derelict in their duty” to vote their values. JAMES ROSEN, chief Washington correspondent for Newsmax, says “it is not a slam dunk” that BENJAMIN NETANYAHU will emerge from upcoming elections by continuing as the longest serving Prime Minister in Israel’s history; his defeat would make Middle East politics even more volatile. Former Louisiana Attorney General ANDREW BAILEY previews his state’s Amendment #3 which would reverse permissive pro-abortion laws in Louisiana. Noted economist DAVID BAHNSEN offers “concern” that Democratic Socialist candidates will make inroad next month, but says America still has a long way to go before abandoning Capitalism and free markets. And TONY PERKINS’ commentary urges listeners to text VOTE to 67742 to get a free, personalized voter guide they can consider before casting their Midterm ballots.. All this—and more—coming up on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins, on the Salem Radio Network and Salem News Channel…sponsored by AARP.
