7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: But you don't bring a machine gun to a protest. Also,

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: why don't they protest that their American veterans?

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,160

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: Huh?

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 2: Why don't they protest American veterans out in the elements

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: eating and drinking out of garbage cans?

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,600

Speaker 1: good morning.

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 3: I would suggest Trump rename ICE into the National Immigration's

18
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: Customs Enforcement Nice.

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 4: That would really throw the protesters off when they got

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: to go around to that idea.

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: I like one. That's not bad, call it nice.

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 3: I like that.

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: Let's go to Kenny and Bayside, Kenny, how you doing?

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: Oh?

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 4: Hi, Mark?

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: When did we officially surrender to China? That's what I

27
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: want to know?

28
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 4: What President was it?

29
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: When did it happen? And it's unfortunate. We have unlimited

30
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: immigration sixty five immigration actors. Got to go. Mark, you

31
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 3: we need you on our side like never before.

32
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: My man, If you say so, let's go to Robert

33
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: in Westchester. Robert, how you doing, Good morning, Mark.

34
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: Thank you for taking my call. Well, I mean I

35
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: understand about President Trump. And the man has his finger

36
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: on the pulse and he gets on the first tend information,

37
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 3: so when he makes a decision, he sees the whole picture.

38
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 3: Unfortunately we don't. And that's why a lot of people,

39
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: you know, you just feel bad that what happened with

40
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 3: Christy Nolan and especially Bogino and and them being taken

41
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: off the off the stage now. But President Trump knows

42
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: what he's doing. And I just like the thing with Greenland.

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: There's a reason why that man is pushing He's not

44
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: because he's a real estate agent. He knows he's got

45
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: his hand on the pulse and he sees holding information.

46
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: And the other thing is when they said brandishing that weapon,

47
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: could be that the guy you look like, he had

48
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: an open coat and his wholesto might have been showing

49
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: and maybe the agents that's what they told Christy Noleman.

50
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's part of the investigation. He was armed. He

51
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: did have a handgun, and again they're struggling with him,

52
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: pushing him. He may have had it somewhere on a holster,

53
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: on his belt, somewhere along his belt, and the coat

54
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: might have opened. One report is you know, when a

55
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: cop sees a gun, he's supposed to yell gun. So

56
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: all the other officers know. There's one report that they

57
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: heard him yell that, which means they saw the gun.

58
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean the guy fired the gun. But

59
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: if he does have a gun and it looked like

60
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: he was reaching for it, that would justifit. But but

61
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: that's all a lot of ifs, and it's all got

62
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: to be investigated. You know. The thing about the president

63
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: having is a finger on the pulse. That's a tough

64
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: thing for a president. It's very, very tough. You're locked

65
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: up in that White House all day. You know, you

66
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: can call people and talk to them, you can watch

67
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: TV all day, but it's different from actually being out there.

68
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: You know.

69
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: I know Donald Trump in the Trump Tower days when

70
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: his office was there, every so often would go down

71
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: to the lobby where there were millions of tourists walk

72
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: around and talk to them many times during the day.

73
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: You know, the car would bring him, but he before

74
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: he went in the building, he'd walk around the street

75
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: a little, talk to people, get a feel for things.

76
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: You can't do that when you're president. It's very, very tough.

77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: I remember Bill Clinton once in the White House. There's

78
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: one window where you can see the sidewalk, and he's

79
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: staring at all the people on the sidewalk in Washington,

80
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: d C. And they said, what are you looking at?

81
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: He says, I admire those people they're out there. I'm

82
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: stuck in here. I'm trapped in here. And he's trapped.

83
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: It's the White House. And he said, it's just the

84
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: most luxurious prison in the federal prison system. And he again, Clinton,

85
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: a people person, loved to be out there talking to people,

86
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: shaking hands, but there was trapped in the Whitest. Very tough.

87
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: Now the president today goes to Iowa to make a speech.

88
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: This is important because that's what you do for a

89
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: president needs contact. You send him out to do speeches

90
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: once a week. And he apparently's gonna do this once

91
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: a week. Go out somewhere, go to a state meet people,

92
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: talk you know, he does these rallies. You get to

93
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: talk to a lot of people along the way. So

94
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: that'll be good. That'll happen today. Let's go to Mike

95
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: in beth Page. Mike, how you doing good? Mark, how

96
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: are you good?

97
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 4: I just want to say, I think the thing about

98
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 4: President Trump. I think he's playing chess and the rest

99
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 4: of the world is playing checkers. He's so far ahead

100
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 4: of everybody else. They don't know what's going on. He's like, don't.

101
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: Don't count on that. Tho'se got a Chinese communists plot

102
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: like one hundred years out, the Soros and now the

103
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: new one Neville Roy Singman, they plot like ten years ago.

104
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: They're pretty good chess players too.

105
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, then I don't mean.

106
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: These democrats on the ground. Those are just the pieces

107
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: on the board for these.

108
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 4: No no playing chess and the rest of America's playing checkers.

109
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: Let me put it that way. Then a lot of

110
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 4: people here don't know what he's doing.

111
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Don't count on that. Don't count on that, you know,

112
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: look back carefully.

113
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 4: January crossed him.

114
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, he's a great he's a four D

115
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: chess player. But don't diminish the capacity of those Democrats,

116
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: remember turning down the ten thousand troops on January sixth,

117
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: Look what it led to. They may have plotted that

118
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: all out in their head. Hey, you're in beth Page.

119
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: What's the situation. Street's clear.

120
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 4: It's cold and very snowy, I know.

121
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: But is it traffic moving and the streets are clear?

122
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: Now?

123
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: Yeah? I was on the Southern State this morning. I

124
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: drive a school bus. I was on the Southern State

125
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 4: a little bit. It wasn't too bad. Heading west exit seventeen,

126
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: it was pretty good. In the town of West Hemp said.

127
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 4: Some of the streets are a little closed up, but

128
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 4: it's tough getting around, but it's.

129
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: Sweeter all right. Well, that's good to hear. In Manhattan,

130
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: you can see the pavement everywhere, streets totally clear. There's traffic,

131
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: not not up to full blast, but there's a lot

132
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: more traffic than yesterday. The only problem is, you know,

133
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: when they shovel the streets, they pile the snow banks

134
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: on the side of between the sidewalk and the street.

135
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: So a lot of times the bus pulls up, people

136
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: want to get in the bus, but there's like a

137
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: four foot snow bank. They have to climb over. You

138
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: have to look for like a little opening in those

139
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: snow banks every so often. Hey, and when we come back,

140
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: John Carney, brilliant guy, breit Bart. You know, bright Bart

141
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: News is a great website, but one of the probably

142
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: the best business website now is Breitbart Business Digesting. John

143
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: Carney edits that and writes that we'll talk to him

144
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: about Minnesota. We'll talk to him about these crazy corporate

145
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: leaders in Minnesota getting too involved in all this. Anyway,

146
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: we'll get to that and more coming up next on

147
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: seven to ten wor
