Single fire killing -- -- the Ramada -- last January guy walks into a bar the bartender looks at him and says.

Could -- vote for it sounds like the beginning of a corny joke right but it's not far from the truth at least at one smoothie shop and you talk.

I love drilling yes that is actually the name of it serves up healthy smooth these and snacks but.

You tab will be one dollar more if you happen to be a liberal and that's right if you're liberal you're paying more take a look at the shops price -- The store's owner George Burnett is very open about his pricing policy.

But is it Democrat discrimination are just too provocative way to prove a political point.

He joins me out of Fox Business exclusive and I guess got a point and I know some Democrats who would refer to themselves as conservatives -- -- are trying to make a point and there.

You know in your community you are -- well loved respected businessman what is the point you're making and our people learning from this.

-- it's a pleasure to be on with -- thank you thank you very much.

You know at -- point -- -- with it and -- have a lot of fun there I I enjoy the community so much but the point is is that those that believe in big government yeah.

And reckless spending and more entitlements.

Liberals.

They are really cost us money and their costs us jobs.

And their cost is -- -- higher taxes.

And I think it's only fair that I -- -- that I should charge Thelma just a little bit more -- -- Now you don't actually require people to answer that that joke I used to be you don't make people tell how they voted out in fact they get to -- -- whether they're a liberal or conservative which affect customers that -- and they're willing to pay the extra -- they've said yep on the liberal give me this -- right.

Exactly we've had we've had now three.

That.

How -- had you know because I simply say what price you know are -- men of the board as you showed fed liberal conservative.

And then they say I'm liberal and they -- the 595.

And they're happy to -- it actually all three of them have been like I'm glad you're -- talent we love juice bar we want to have a healthy juice bar -- -- And my price seen actually is such that it's it's not over priced at that price it's actually a fair price and -- -- is.

You know I'm I'm afraid you might have not learned one of the big lessons it was Margaret Thatcher I'm -- -- butcher the quote but you know socialism -- -- only good until you run out of other people's money -- your current pricing.

I don't believe you're making a profit on your drinks even -- the 595 so.

You're gonna run on other people's money and you haven't even had a grand opening yet that's not -- -- Not domain that's right we're just run a well this week right now we're given out free smoothie is actually did everybody liberals included -- -- everybody that comes in they get one per customer.

If they write down a well this goal we given a free when right now all week long.

And then down but we've probably got the grand opening is in May and -- it and not but you know it's sob would do okay.

It's we're not gonna make a lot of money that's why juice bars are very prevalent -- -- the cost of real real -- a real good is this is quite.

-- but you've checked into -- real current here you we can we get people like James Cameron the director out Hollywood -- -- you've got to be environmentally got to spend money on the environment.

And then he owns three different homes of huge size his carbon footprint is bigger than a dinosaur.

The hypocrisy.

Of it and it seems if you're calling that -- a bluff.

With their pricing.

I am I am I just value we've got -- spending and a debt problem here in America that if we don't get a handle on it.

We will survive as a country.

And so if we in less we have conversations about this.

And you know and and really come to some -- terms on it we're not gonna survive.

Were running up debt larger than its that is -- it possible ever repay so that's the point here is that.

Is that we need that we need to connect up with some reality here and and that's and that's the point behind it.

George Burnett I loved drilling juice and smoothie owner thank you for joining us -- I gotta tell yet a green -- -- give me Coca-Cola.

I'm not into the -- -- -- well hey and then visit this is that actually value number one it's a great stability so stop on out ten and had a great great get -- with yeah.
