road salt

Um, uh, let's listen to a little bit of the exchange in Maine this week.

I was successful in getting concrete, pulp, and road salt removed from the tariff list.

I didn't mock the fact that she got road salt back.

I mocked the fact that what about everything else? I mean, we, we can't eat road salt.

Zack, I, I, I mean, this is a, a, a remarkable exchange, listening to them go back and forth on, on appropriations, right? Um, uh, uh, again, and tariff lines.

I mean, uh, is this a compelling argument for voters to hear Collins say, you know, "I worked with the White House to get the, the tariffs off of ro- uh, road salt"?

"We can't eat road salt" if Democrats end up having a terrific cycle is going to be the [laughs] thing that, that people point to.

Um, especially in Maine, where you've got somebody like Susan Collins, who has been in office for, for something like 30 years, right? As you mentioned, chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Let's take a look at, uh, a few clips.

This one, uh, is about road salt.

I mean, you couldn't make it up.

Troy mocked it, but I was successful in getting concrete, pulp, and road salt removed from the tariff list.

Mm-hmm.

Well, look, Mainers can't afford to, uh, pay their bills with a press release or a strongly worded letter, uh, like Senator Collins, uh, keeps talking about.

Uh, I didn't mock the fact that she got road salt back.

I mocked the fact that what about everything else? I mean, we, we can't eat road salt.

[upbeat music]

I was successful in getting concrete, pulp, and road salt removed from the tariff list.

What about everything else? I mean, we, we can't eat road salt.

And, and the thing about it is, is that w- everything that she's doing with Iran war and stuff like that, there's gonna be so many less people that'll be able to afford to drive that I'm not even sure the road salt's gonna be worth anything.

Road salt.

That sound bite will live forever.

That was Democratic candidate [laughs] Troy Jackson calling out Republican Senator Susan Collins for her enabling of Donald Trump in last night's Senate debate in Maine.

John is still here with us as well.
