-- -- allowed that is yet another tactic to scare people about -- and Scott's latest serves lots of cuts of beef and bacon.

Xena.

What do you make of this whole strategy.

Put the fear god and the votes.

You know we're we're talking about this socialist salad bar agenda of Obama I guess he's gonna threaten what conservatives of what went.

Every red blooded American loves and that's.

Our meat and certainly our -- you called it on battling meal and then he's gonna say well -- if I have to make cuts then I'm gonna take away -- that conservatives like and then of course you have -- low information voters who will come along behind the president and propagate all the scare tactics to make us think that we can't possibly make any cuts in government we're gonna lose everything that's American it's ridiculous it's it's more smoking years it's more of the same.

From this administration who likes to threaten rather than to what is the responsible thing to do so.

Let's start to your customers come back to say well lose out of line on not eating mr.

-- you know what I mean like what is it -- Let's what that's like that's what we have inspectors in the first place I need to make sure that my products coming -- want to come from it's coming from my choice meats might -- -- top quality bacon.

I need these inspectors -- -- the USDA this that this you know yeah so that's that's ridiculous of the thinking of cutting.

Some -- most important.

Parts of government stood for for no well officer for the -- reason there's so many other places that -- we can we can cut spending our food safety or food quality.

But let -- -- zoning that's all right bye bye -- board what they wanted more money even as amended that that this would prevent what's happened abroad from happening in your case but that's not a given -- -- team.

You -- in this is really a question of free market economic this is really part of the socialist agenda and Americans who understand the free market understand this concept.

Who has mr.

Slater afraid -- if he really more afraid of that inspector.

Or is he more afraid of eight person eating in his restaurant getting a bad burger and then making a big deal about it lawyering up -- going on social media.

And we all know the answer that the free market can regulate a lot of these things and that's the reason.

These threats.

I really seek the -- in scare tactics instead of instead of just discussing the issues -- in a transparent way at this administration.

Said they would in both of their campaigns and they're not willing to do that so they're just trying to use this.

Your -- -- man is dead at least a good inspection service.

You know removes any doubt that any eating your serving is not what you say this.

-- somebody checks announced before gets my restaurant from everywhere from the from the actual slaughterhouse to that distributor to my restaurant.

From what part number one priority never restaurants -- of one -- should be should be safe product and and what the -- -- expert but the gets expects.

What's on the menu of this this this is getting rid of the -- that the the first stop to make sure that everything that comes out of that.

Those facilities are are what we expect for Americans to eat that we can we take a lot of pride in the quality of food that we that we in this country especially with that meet.

And sit -- to move this aside and end -- she says smoke and mirrors was exactly what it is that the scare tactic.

And it's it's trying to scare people right now and it's outrageous and -- stand to have somebody like me.

Worried that the inspectors -- you think two weeks -- and closed down my most important industry.

It's it's it's not right.

And then of course it compels anyone's had not cut anything right here in the you know economy and.

Don't touch our -- and I mean some things it just say they're really getting quite -- objective of -- who gave it.

I thank you very very much appreciated gold meanwhile the Illinois Jerry got to.
