1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: It's only about three hundred more weeks of him to

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: get through, and then you'll be fine. Got to keep

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: clearing my throat. I'm not sick, I just my nose

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: has been stuffed up for a week and a half.

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: It's just this ridiculously cold weather. It's gonna be in

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: the forties today, fifties later this week in Alaska. Remember

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: the Remember a couple weeks ago we had all that

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: snow on a Friday. Remember Bridgeport seven inches long, Island

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: seven inches. It was harm seven inches through this weather Alaska.

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: This is just the past couple of days. Seven feet

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: of snow, seven feet of snow. You know here, if

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: you get an inch, there's already a school closings immediately Alaska.

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: You got to get to about ten feet before they

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: close the schools there. So we'll get to Venezuela, we'll

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: get to Greenland, we'll get to Tim Waltz, we'll get

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: to CBS News. They're getting a lot of flat. They've

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: been cleaning up the evening News, trying to make it

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: less corrupt, and they're getting a lot of fla. Hey,

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: we'll get to that crazy George Conway who's running for

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: Congress we'll get to mom. Donnie Hey. Speaking of getting

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: a lot of flack, this Hilton story did not get

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: a lot of coverage. But you know, there's Hilton is

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: a great hotel chain. You got Hilton hotels all over

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: the place, and there's one in the Minnesota where you know,

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: ICE when they go into these cities, you don't realize

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: all the logistics that are required. And I forget arresting

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: the criminals, the criminal illegals, just the logistics of getting

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: them all there. If you want to send one hundred

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: ICE agents there, you got to move them there. All

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: their equipment, everything, their vehicles, everything has to be moved there.

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: And then you got to find a hotel for them

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: to stay in. So in every city they have to

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: book one hundred hotel rooms. Although well, government likes to

34
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: waste money. But although it might be you know, they

35
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: double up, so it's fifty hotel rooms, two in a room, whatever.

36
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: But in Minneapolis they used here it is again in Minneapolis,

37
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: they used a Hilton hotel to have the ICE agents stay, well,

38
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: the local Hilton hotel employees. You know, it's a Minnesota

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: and they were crazy left wing, childish democrats, woke democrats,

40
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: so they found out these were Ice people coming to

41
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: stay in the hotel, so they canceled the reservation and

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: informed Ice that they were not welcome to stay in

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: this Hilton hotel. Well, you can't do that, of course,

44
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. Now, it's not the fault of Hilton the corporation.

45
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: It's these employees in this local hotel, and it turns

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: out it's not owned by Hilton. You know, many of

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: these hotels are owned and built by Hilton, but a

48
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: lot of these hotels you stay in were just built

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: by the local guy who built a hotel and then

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: he makes a deal with Hilton to come in and

51
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: run it and put their name on it. It's a

52
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: franchise you can buy, so you can build yourself a

53
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: beautiful hotel and then you get Marriott to be the

54
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: name on it and run it. You have to make

55
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: a partnership franchise agreement with them. In this case, it

56
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: was Hilton. So Hilton looked into this and they immediately

57
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: withdrew the franchise. They fired this local owner and hotel.

58
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: They took their name off the hotel. They will have

59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this hotel anymore. It's against their

60
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: policy to discriminate against people because of their race, or

61
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: because you don't like the way they look, or you

62
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: don't like their politics. You can't discriminate and refuse to

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: give them a room. So Hilton has withdrawn the franchise.

64
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: They will have nothing to do with Hotel anymore. So now,

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: of course, the left wing cooks are all going after Hilton,

66
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: denouncing Hilton, writing about Hilton. Here's one of these left

67
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: wing cooks. Hilton was trying to protect people from government

68
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: thugs who separate people from their families. They separate families.

69
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: Well.

70
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: First of all, every law enforcement agency in the world

71
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: separates families. The New York City police separate families. The

72
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: Minneapolis police separate whenever anybody's arrested. If they arrest a woman,

73
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: say a mother, and they arrest her and have to

74
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: arrest her, take her in handcuff her, take her to jail.

75
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: That you can't bring your kids with you. You're separated.

76
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: The kids have to stay with a relative or something,

77
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: or if there's nobody, they go into child services. But

78
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: every law enforcement agency separates families. Every arrest, families are separated.

79
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: So Hilton getting a lot of flack. Now, you know,

80
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: who else is getting a lot of flax. CBS News

81
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: because the new woman in charge, Barry Weiss, decided to

82
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: clean up the corruption over there and try to make

83
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: it a little more fair and balanced. So normally you

84
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: watch the CBS Evening News, all they do is denounce

85
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: the President, denounce the administration, call them all kinds of names.

86
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: Whatever they do, it's awful. So the new CBS News

87
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: under Berry Weiss, they put in a new anchor. This

88
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 1: guy's pretty good. It's off to a rough, rocky start,

89
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: but he's pretty good. He'll he'll slowly, you know, he

90
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: actually get some pretty good ank. This David Muher, you know,

91
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: might be a little slanted, but he's a sharp look

92
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: and it's a great newscast. The ABC Evening News and

93
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: the new NBC News anchor. I can't remember his name,

94
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: Tom Yamas. That's his name, Tom Yamas. He's actually I

95
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: like Lester Holdy was a nice guy. Totally corrupt on

96
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: the air, totally biased, but he's a nice guy. This

97
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: guy's sharper, better, quicker, and the same thing with CBS.

98
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: This guy's pretty good. But they've decided to make the

99
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: newscast fair. So every night they'll go after the Trump

100
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: administration a little with the language because it's still being

101
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: written by CBS newswriters. But they'll be fair, they'll put

102
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: the other side. On the first night of this new guy,

103
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: he gave Pete Hegxith three segments on the New three

104
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: segments on the Evening News to respond. And then it

105
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: was Marco Rubio one night. They brought him on live

106
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: and whatever they said bad about Trump, they put on Rubio,

107
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: let him respond. And then Christy Nome, whatever the attack was,

108
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: they then put went to her, put her on live

109
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: on the news and let her respond. That's the fair

110
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: thing to do, so you're supposed to do so. CBS

111
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: News getting all kinds of flak from left wing critics

112
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: now attacking them like crazy. Here's one the call says it.

113
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: Now it's become Fox News light. They're shilling for the administration,

114
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: just giving the other the other side of chance to respond.

115
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: That's shilling for the administration. So uh, changes are happening.

116
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: And remember this is only the first year of Donald Trump.

117
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: Give them two three years and we'll see what happens. Now,

118
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: all this Greenland talk, you know, I feel bad for

119
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: the Democrats. This is costing them a fortune. You know,

120
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: they all had to go out and buy Ukrainian flags

121
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: to wave around. And then all the trouble in Israel

122
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: they had and they had to go out and you know,

123
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: get rid of the flags. They had to go out

124
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: and buy a Hamas flags and Palestinian flags to wave around.

125
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean every second they got to buy a new flat.

126
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: Then ice they had, all these liberals had to go

127
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: buy Mexican flags, and now they all got to go

128
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: buy Venezuelan flags. You know, they're spending a fortune on flags.

129
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: Had I known this was going to happen, I would

130
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: have bought stock and flag companies a couple of years ago.

131
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 1: But it just you go into any left wing kook

132
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: woke democrats home, there's a closet now filled with different flags. Hey,

133
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: by the way, a lot of this stuff, these protests

134
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: are funded organized. They're not organic or natural. Many of

135
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: them paid for by Soros and those other oligarchs. The

136
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: Democrat oligarchs like Soros fund them. Nicole what's his name,

137
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: Reid Hoffman. Reid Hoffman. So the president and the administration

138
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: for they've hinted at this, but for the first time

139
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: ever they said they're looking at going after them harmit.

140
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: Dillon and others in the Department of Justice now talking

141
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: about conspiracy charges against them. When you see what looks

142
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be just an organic protest that happened all

143
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden over Venezuela, they all two hundred of them,

144
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: have all the same equipment. They have the same exact

145
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: signs from the same printer, and they're real high quality,

146
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: glossy printed signs, really expensive. Well, so this is all

147
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: being funded by these Soros type zillionaires. But now they're

148
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: talking about rico charges, conspiracy charges funding protests, so finally

149
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: something may be done about that. So the Venezuela talk.

150
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing. The President talking about Greenland

151
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: taking over Greenland, hinting at the military go in there

152
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: and sees Greenland. He's not going to do that. It's

153
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: not going to be the military. First of all, the

154
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: military seizing Greenland. A boy Scout troop could take over

155
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: Greenland in about half an hour. I mean, it would

156
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: take twenty minutes to seize Greenland. So what he wants

157
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: is to buy it from Denmark. Denmark owns Greenland. And

158
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: there was a time a while back where they were

159
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: actually kind of interested in talking about it because the

160
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: price was going to be billions of dollars for Greenland

161
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: and they needed the money. Denmark's economy in trouble, a big, huge, huge,

162
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: huge deficit and debt. Well, one of the things that

163
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: saved them was that ozempic because apparently some of the

164
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: original whatever it is from ozempic made in Greenland in Denmark,

165
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: and they've made a fortune off it, which made up

166
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: a lot of their deficit. But US wants Greenland, they'd

167
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: like to buy it. They'd like to work out an

168
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: agreement to buy it and pay for it and then

169
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: own it. But that's the reason for all this invasion

170
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: military to it's just negotiating, just negotiating. There's no chance

171
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: of actually invading Greenland or taking it over. But it's

172
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: a very valuable thing for the US. It's very important,

173
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: crucial military base for US, crucial as far as shipping lanes.

174
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: It has all kinds of defense strategic reasons why we

175
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: need to have Greenland. Also, it's filled with valuable minerals

176
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: and stuff. So it's a win win to take Greenland.

177
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: And Denmark really doesn't need it for any defense purposes

178
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: or strategic purposes or military base purposes, and then there's

179
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: always the fear for all those same reasons that the

180
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: Russia or somebody else could take it over President Trump.

181
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: You know, remember Joe Biden, remember him, And maybe once

182
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: a year he tried to do a press conference and

183
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: they'd call on three people where they were already picked beforehand,

184
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: questions and answers written out right in front of Joe.

185
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: And they had to put a big card with the

186
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: reporter's name so Joe could call on him, and the

187
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: reporter's picture so he'd recognize them. And they used a

188
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: real big font you know, so Joe could see it.

189
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: Those are the old days. Now it's President Trump every

190
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: two seconds of press conference, anytime he's walking in the hall,

191
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: anytime the reporter's there, he'll answer questions, he'll talk to

192
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: them on They all have a cell number. They can

193
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: call him anytime. Hundreds and hundreds of these reporters have

194
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: a cell number. Even this crazy Joe Scarborough, right after

195
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: Venezuela or the Greenland stuff started, he said he called

196
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: the President Trump and talked to him for twenty minutes Greenland.

197
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how open he is. He'll talk to

198
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough on the phone for twenty minutes. But wherever

199
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: he is, you immediately can talk to him. He'll answer questions.

200
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: You see, even when he's on the plane, he'll come

201
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: out of the private cabin and answer questions for a

202
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: half hours. So anyway, the whole thing is it's a

203
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: winning situation in Venezuela. And he talked about that, you

204
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: got to win the midterms. Oh, okay, the midterms. Now

205
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: this is the other thing. How does this affect the midterms? Well,

206
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: gas prices will come down even more. They've come down dramatically. Hey,

207
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: By the way, it's another side issue. Gas has come

208
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: down to two fifty a gallon, two seventy five a gallon.

209
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: It was four dollars under Joe bidden It's now two

210
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: fifty everywhere except New York, and except California. It's two

211
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: fifty everywhere you go in the country. Two seventy five.

212
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: In New York it's still four dollars, four to fifty.

213
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: California it's five. Nobody is you have totally corrupt meat.

214
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: Otherwise they'd be all over these two governors at demanding

215
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: to know why they haven't let the gas prices come down.

216
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: The reason hasn't come down here, the state will just

217
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: add the taxes to make up for it and keep it.

218
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: So gas prices are way down all over America with Venezuela.

219
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: Now we're going to get fifty million gallons immediately of

220
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: their oil. That'll bring down prices even more. A lot

221
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: of the drilling that started is starting to kick in.

222
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: So also, you're going to have the tax cuts take

223
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: effect now finally, since New Year's Day, they're now in effect.

224
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: People to get more money in their paychecks. So that's

225
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: going to help Republicans in the midterm, and that's important.

226
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: You got to win the midterms because if we don't

227
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: win the midterms, it's just going to be I mean,

228
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: they'll find a reason to impeach me.

229
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, there'll be an impeachment a week. But on the

230
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: other hand, when they do their remember first term was

231
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: an impeachment once every year, every spring. This will be

232
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: every month, and then they'll totally devalue the whole idea

233
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: of impeachment will mean nothing after a while. Now, the

234
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: only time bomb there is a healthcare costs. Obamacare turns

235
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: out to be totally unworkable. In fact, they called it

236
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: the Affordable Care Act. All it did was drive prices

237
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: up like crazy, which was to be expected. Anytime you

238
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: take anything out of the private sector and have the

239
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: government run it, it gets much more expensive. And it

240
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: got so out of control that they had to start

241
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: giving subsidies to pay for it. It's the Affordable Care Act,

242
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: but it's so unaffordable you have to have a government

243
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: subsidy to be able to afford it. So that expired.

244
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: Now they're going to have possible you know, one of

245
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: those shutdown talk things again at the end of the month.

246
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: Democrats want to just keep the subsidy going forever, just

247
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: subsidize it. President Trump, being a logical businessman types as well,

248
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: why don't we fix it so it actually is affordable,

249
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: privatize a lot of it, make it more efficient, get

250
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: all the crazy, you know, crazy corruption and complication out

251
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: of it, and make it simple. And I mean, that's

252
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: the logical thing to do. But Democrats don't want that.

253
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: So healthcare will be crucial in the midterms. We could

254
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: have had healthcare good healthcare.

255
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: Obamacare is bad and the people understand it's bad, and

256
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 3: the premiums are horrible. But one thing I've learned, I've

257
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: learned a lot about healthcare. I found healthcare so sort

258
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: of like, not of tremendous interest, but it was very important.

259
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so again all day long. You can talk to him.

260
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: Reporters can talk to him anytime, ask him anything. Now

261
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: he's a more important issue. You know how he does

262
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: that dance and aver there's music, he starts dancing. So

263
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: he was asked about that. This is interesting. Now, his wife,

264
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: Malania is a very dignified, very elegant woman, and there

265
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: he is dancing, and he was asked about it.

266
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: My wife hates when I do this, she said. You know,

267
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: she's a very classy person. Right, she said, it's so presidential,

268
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 3: he said, but I did become president somebody she hates

269
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: when I dance. I said, everybody wants darling. It's not presidential.

270
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: Well, okay, that's true, but ninety percent of what he

271
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: does isn't presidential. He breaks all the rules and he

272
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: knows how to do it and be successful at it.

273
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: But I can understand her saying that.

274
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: She said, could you imagine after you are dancing? She

275
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: said that to me, and I said, there's a long

276
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: history that perhaps she doesn't know. Because he was an

277
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: elegant fellow, even as a Democrat.

278
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, but again, I've known Donald Trump, I don't know,

279
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: thirty five years and the decades before he was president.

280
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: It was all the same thing as a top big

281
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: business guy in New York real estate. Everybody in that

282
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: world was why does he have to be Why does

283
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: he have to do that? Why does he have to

284
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: behave like it? You know how to back? Doesn't he know?

285
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: So this has been gone on his whole life. He's

286
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: perfected this system of breaking all the rules. His instincts

287
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: are great. He makes it work. Hey, coming up, we'll

288
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: get to George Conway, this crazy nutjob Democrat wants to

289
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: run for Congress here in New York. We'll get to

290
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: that and more. Coming up, we'll take some calls. Next

291
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is

292
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

293
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: Go to Adam in New Jersey. Adam, how you doing? Adam?

294

Speaker 6: All right, So this is Mark.

Speaker 1: Let me see Mark. Listen.

306
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 6: I'm glad you're there. But I heard that China and

00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 6: Russia have already pay Venezuela and oil right for the

308
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 6: fields for oil rights in the fields of Venezuela. Did

309
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 6: they get their money back or what's your thoughts on that?

310
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think it's like Amazon where you can

311
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: just send it back and get the refined.

312
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 6: No.

313
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: Well, there's another reason we went into Venezuela. You have

314
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: all sorts of Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, everybody in there

315
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: doing god knows what it was like the axis of

316
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: evil all over again. That's another reason to break all

317
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: that up. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how

318
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: you doing.

319
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark.

320
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: Yes, Mike.

321
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 7: The Democrats are very good at controlling the language. So

322
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 7: there's always the equal such and such, you know, the

323
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 7: Act and the fair so and so law. And affordability

324
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 7: is the current one. And the funny thing is, you

325
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 7: know what's not as affordable as it once was? Everything?

326
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, you watched Andy Grifford Show, and

327
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 7: you know a haircut was fifty cents last time I

328
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 7: went to get a haircut down here far seventeen dollars

329
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 7: and it's a number two once around the head. You know,

330
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 7: it's like, you know, not even any.

331
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's true of old TV. You know, you

332
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: watch a TV show from nineteen sixty and the guy says,

333
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: I'll give you a five hundred dollars. You know, you

334
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: don't realize that's like ten thousand today. So but no,

335
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Yeah, this affordability is an interesting thing. Obviously,

336
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: it's always about the economy. You remember when Bill Clinton

337
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: ran and carvill famously said, it's the economy, stupid, It's

338
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: always the economy. But Democrats last year did extensive testing

339
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: with focus groups, seriously, and they came on the word

340
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: affordability in the focus groups and it tested through the roof.

341
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: So they zero it in on that word affordability, affordability.

342
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: And it's not that they're so good at messaging. It's

343
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: just the corruption where the every inch of media, anchors, newspaper,

344
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: they're all in cahoots with them. And if they drill

345
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: it into your head over and over and over and

346
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: you start to believe it, affordability crisis. If that's all

347
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: you see day and night, everywhere you turn, affordability crisis.

348
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: You'll start to think there's an affordability crisis. You know,

349
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: they did that with Curtis in the race.

350
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 5: Uh.

351
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: You know, Curtis had as good a chance as Mam

352
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,479
Speaker 1: Donnie in the beginning. I mean, if you look at

353
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: these two guys on paper, Mam Donnie never had a

354
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: job twelve years old. I mean, on paper, this guy

355
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: has no chance. But they kept doing that over and over.

356
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: Twenty four to seven. All you heard was Curtis can't win.

357
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: CURTI Yeah, well Curtis is great, but he can't win.

358
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: He can't win, he can't win. Well, after a while

359
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: people start to believe this. Let's go to uh, let's

360
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.

361
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 8: I'm doing good, Mark, Mark. Every time I hear his

362
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 8: word affordability, I'm going to say, the government is the first,

363
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 8: the first person that causes uh unaffordability in the City

364
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 8: of New York. Like this latest bonehead idea that got

365
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 8: the city Council a couple of months ago pass this law.

366
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 8: It wasn't veto proof. They passed this law that if

367
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 8: you're going to sell you if you have a private

368
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 8: building and you're gonna sell it, you have to offer

369
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 8: it to one of sixteen nonprofit agencies that the city's

370
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 8: gonna tell you. You have to offer it to them first,

371
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 8: and if den if they don't want it, you could

372
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 8: sell it privately. And even then, if you're in before

373
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 8: you go into contract, you have to offer it to

374
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 8: these sixteen probably not nonprofit communist agencies. Well, I spoke

375
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 8: actually to a lawyer about this, and this is totally unconstitutional.

376
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 8: The problem is is the New York City courts are

377
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 8: all rigged with these left wing nut jobs. So it's

378
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 8: gonna that's.

379
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: What happened to Donald Trump. And let me ask you

380
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: a question. You're a smart guy. You could be in

381
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: any business you want. Why would anybody be a owner

382
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: of an apartment building or a landlord? It's got to

383
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: be the most difficult, troubled, the kind of way, just

384
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: NonStop problems, isn't it?

385
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 9: Mark?

386
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 8: These days? It is especially Mandami the other day appointed

387
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 8: this so called tenants rights advocate. Her name is CEA Weaver,

388
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 8: and she actually went on the air in an interview

389
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 8: and says, we have to rethink private property rights.

390
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I'll give me a better one. Let

391
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: me see here's an actual quote for her home ownership

392
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: is a weapon of white supremacy exactly.

393
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 8: And then she goes on to say that we're going

394
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 8: to attack white neighborhoods more than minority neighborhood so forth

395
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 8: and so on. I actually spoke to a lawyer about

396
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 8: this and he did tell me this is totally unconsciousness.

397
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: It is, but you know, it's New York. But we

398
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: got to go for the news with great call. We'll

399
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: get back to that woman and some of her crazy

400
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: Mondannie just put her in charge of housing. Well, we'll

401
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: get to her in the next hour. But you know,

402
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: we bring you the smartest people on earth will do

403
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: that in the moment. Steve Forbes will be with us.

404
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: He can explain a lot of this stuff in a

405
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: very rational way with the Steve Forbes next on seven

406
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: to ten wo r Steve Forbes, of course, the chairman,

407
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: editor in chief Forbes Media. Also, you know he's the

408
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: best selling author. You should get his latest book, Inflation.

409
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: There is no better book on the subject. Just go

410
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: to Amazon. You can get it there. Inflation, excellent book.

411
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: Steve Forbes, How are you.

412
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: Doing fine?

413
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: Thanks?

414
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 2: How are you in this new year? Lots happening. Seems

415
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: like the year's half over already with everything that's going on.

416
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of hey, we're talking about affordability. Democrats found

417
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: that word through focus groups, affordability. But it has improved

418
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: a lot in the last year, hasn't it.

419
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: The real progress is being made. One of the things

420
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: I think the Trump President Trump and his team underestimated

421
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: was how big of a mess they were actually inherited

422
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: from the Biden administration. But when you go down the

423
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: list of what they've done and what I hope they're

424
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: going to be doing this year, it's impressive. One of

425
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 2: the most boring subjects in the world, of course, is regulation.

426
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: It's not the kind of thing that has people really aroused,

427
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: but it's been a huge drain, huge burden on American

428
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: manufacturing and what they've done and things like with evs.

429
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: You know, if they make these regulations permanent through legislation,

430
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: the auto industry is going to have a revival and

431
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 2: renaissance that we haven't seen since the nineteen fifties and

432
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: nineteen sixties in terms of new designs and new ways

433
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: of doing things instead of everything looking like a jelly

434
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 2: bean because of government regulations. So they're doing really really

435
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: important things. Hundreds of billions of dollars are going to

436
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 2: be saved through a deregulation. The tax cut is a

437
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: savior of preserving the twenty seventeen tax cuts, but also

438
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 2: the big write offs for investment in manufacturing and businesses

439
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 2: today is going to kick in. And one of the

440
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 2: things they're talking about, which I hope they'll do Mark,

441
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: is have a second reconciliation bill and cut personal income

442
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: tax rates, cut the corporate rate, which President Trump wanted

443
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: to do from twenty one to fifteen percent, cut the

444
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: capital gains, which that should be a no brainer. It's

445
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: good for investment but also instantly raises revenue. So some

446
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: things are moving in the right way, and a big

447
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: battle coming up again. Another boring subject monetary policy is

448
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve. Getting somebody in there who will fundamentally

449
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 2: re rechange, change the way the Federal Reserve operates on.

450
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: The FED operates on the assumption the prosperity causes inflation.

451
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: They have an allergy to a vigorous, growing economy, and

452
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: that's got to be changed because that's been a dead

453
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 2: weight for decades.

454
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: But how crucial is the Fed nowadays you know, you

455
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: can't rate cut your way to prosperity, can you.

456
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: No, But what you can do is have rates actually

457
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 2: set by the marketplace. What the FED is doing now

458
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: is a form of rent control. We know what that's

459
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: done in New York, and we'll do even more. But

460
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: you know, they used to talk about renting the money.

461
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: So when you're borrowing the money, you're renting it, and

462
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve is setting the rental rates instead of

463
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: letting the market do it. So the key thing is

464
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: not to have the FED come up the financial markets,

465
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 2: which is done with their artificial coming around with interest rates,

466
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: and go for a stable dollar. That's why I hope

467
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary Besson and President Trump say they want a strong,

468
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 2: stable dollar. They want the dollar to remain a reserve

469
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: currency where you have to have a stable and trustworthy

470
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 2: So I hope they get the FED in the right direction.

471
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: And I'll make a prediction even though I'm probably wrong,

472
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: but you never make money going with the crowd. In

473
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: terms of the head of the FED, I think a

474
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: good thing would be to send Scott Besson over to

475
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 2: the FED.

476
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: He's got the.

477
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: Strength and knows what needs to be done and have

478
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: Kevin Hassett, I'll go to the Treasury Department.

479
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: Oh well, listen, you know more about this than I.

480
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: But Scott Besson's a great Treasury secretary and there's oh

481
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: yes he is. YEA other people could be great FED chairman.

482
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: Look who I'm talking to, Warp, You'd be perfect for it,

483
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: but you.

484
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: Got I'm an agitator now.

485
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: But is it your top guy? If it's Scott Besston,

486
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't need be more valuable as a Treasury secretary than

487
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: a FED chairman.

488
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 2: I think he would be. Actually, well, the reason I

489
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 2: would like him at the FED is that one, he's

490
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 2: got a fixed term, and he would not. I think

491
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 2: he's because of his background in finance and the success

492
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 2: in finance. There's no way they can capture him, no

493
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: way they can buffalo him the way they did Jerome Powell.

494
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: And I think he would.

495
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 5: Also know how to ask the right questions.

496
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: That's key, and have the and not be intimidated by PhDs.

497
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: They're over three hundred there now they should be uber drivers,

498
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: but they're they're at the FED right now mucking things up,

499
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 2: and and so I think Besson would have the strength

500
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: to really turn things over We've already seen what Lee's

501
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: Eldon's done at the EPA in terms of deregulation, and

502
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: the tread of the Energy team with this administration's phenomenal, right,

503
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: and Bergham's that that's going to pay real dividends and

504
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 2: already is at the pump. And by the way, by

505
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 2: the way, the lower price of gas line somehow doesn't

506
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: make the headlines the way it does when the Democrats

507
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: are in and prices are going up and gets ignored.

508
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 2: Prices are going down and the media ignores it. But

509
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: with winner right with us, boy, people want those low rates,

510
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: you know.

511
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: Part of the problem though I don't know how they

512
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: managed to do it, but as the price has dropped

513
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: a lot on gas here in New York and in California,

514
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: they kept the price way up there at four dollars

515
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: a gallon, which is where most of the reporters in

516
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: the media live, so they haven't felt the effect yet.

517
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. And but you know, since

518
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: they pride themselves and being a great journalist, they should

519
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 2: ask the question why and the answer is thing called tax.

520
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: Steve Forth, let me ask you about Venezuela. It was

521
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: a booming economy for many years, and then Chavez and

522
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: Maduro come in with their socialism and screw it up.

523
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: What's the potential for the economy in Venezuela with the

524
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: right leader.

525
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 2: The potential is phenomenal. We all know about their oil reserves,

526
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: and it will take time to get the fields back up.

527
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 2: They've been erecked and that takes time. But one of

528
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: the things I hope we do before we have a

529
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: new democratic elected government. There is a couple of things.

530
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: One is keep out the International Monetary Fund the IMF.

531
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: They always recommend higher taxes and currency devaluations with triggers inflation.

532
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 2: So keep out the IMF and know what they should

533
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: do do in Venezuela is since nobody pays attention to

534
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: their bullovar currency anymore toilet paper, is it dollarize it?

535
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: Malay should have done that in Argentina, the President of Argentina.

536
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: But dollarize the Venezuelan economy. They're always already using dollars

537
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: informally anyway, so make it formal and then put in

538
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: a low rate tax system and by golly, you'd see

539
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: you've got millions of people who left Venezuela. They would

540
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: bring capital back you'd see domestic capital being created again.

541
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: And there you said, they have an entrepreneurial spirit, and

542
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 2: you could see that economy not revived just because of oil,

543
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 2: but doing other things. And you have a success in Venezuela.

544
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: You've got a new president of Chile to get that

545
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: country back on track. Hopefully Malay gets it right with

546
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: the currency. In Argentina. You have those three countries booming.

547
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: By golly, that changes everything, not just in Latin America,

548
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 2: but as a model for other countries around the world.

549
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: Hey, Steve Forbes, what's your outlook forecast for New Jersey

550
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: with another crazy Democrat governor? Oh man, You.

551
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: Know, whenever you talk, whenever you talk to a financial advisor,

552
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: the first thing they say to me, they're more polite

553
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: than I'm about to be to myself.

554
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: You idiot.

555
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: Why he's saying in the state of New Jersey, that's

556
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 2: one of the most misgoverned states in the Union. And

557
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: the sad thing is years ago, Larry Cudlow and I

558
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: did a tax program for Christy Whitman when she became governor,

559
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: and we helped get through big cuts in the state

560
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: income tax rate. And one of the things we learned

561
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: back then was New Jersey was once the most prosperous

562
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: state in the country, grew faster than the rest of

563
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: the country, recovered faster than the rest of the country,

564
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: and high taxes and regulation killed what had been a

565
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 2: booming economy, always doing better than the national average. And

566
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: that can be brought back again. That's why the pharmaceutical

567
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: industry is based in New Jersey and other industries, and.

568
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: The policy wrecked it.

569
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: And that's what is so frustrating as we see real

570
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: life examples of before and after. And yet and yet

571
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: people continue to talk about the need for re education centers.

572
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: Maybe for economics, I don't know, but well, it's sad

573
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: because the potential is enormous, but people and capital are

574
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: moving elsewhere.

575
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: Well I would laugh at you, but we just elected

576
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: Kathy Hokele and Mamdani So I'm who am I to

577
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: But yes, Steve Forbes great to talk to you. Everybody

578
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: should get his book. His latest book is Inflation. No

579
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: better book on the subject inflation. Just go to Amazon

Speaker 1: make that like a national thing every year, like you know,

609
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: nine to eleven where the whole country stops to remember,

610
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,520

00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: You know all the universities have been corrupted, many of

615
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: our high schools. You got all these left wing teachers.

616
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: You got all this left wing propaganda being taught in

617
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: schools now, and this is why you get people that younger,

618
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: people that will vote for Mom. DONI twenty thirty years

619
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: of being indoctrinated in these left wing classrooms. Well, now

620
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: they want to add January sixth to the history books

621
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: and have that taught in every classroom. Now. Of course,

622
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: they're not going to teach the whole story as Democrats

623
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: do or fake news they'll just give you three or

624
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: four pieces of the puzzle and leave out ninety eight

625
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: percent of it, so they won't tell you that. President

626
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: Trump offered ten thousand troops and urged them to take

627
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: the ten thousand troops to guard the capital that day.

628
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: It was just another demonstration like the other two hundred

629
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: and seventy five that had happened that whole summer in America.

630
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: But Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of DC decided not

631
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: to accept the offer of the ten thousand troops. They

632
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: were told four hundred thousand demonstrators would show up. They

633
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: turned down the ten thousand troops. And by the way,

634
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: demonstrations of that size were taking place all the time

635
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: in Washington when Trump was president. Once remember at the

636
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial, and he surrounded it with troops with machine

637
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: gun and nobody got near the Lincoln Memorial. The worst

638
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: one was when Democratic protesters tried to take the White House,

639
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: tried to come over the fence. Remember Trump put out

640
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: those tweets if you do come over the fence, you're

641
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: going to see them vicious dogs you've ever seen. But

642
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: he surrounded the place with troops. There was still a

643
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: hell of a battle at the White House fence. Over

644
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: two hundred law enforcement ended up in the hospital after that.

645
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: But January sixth, it was just another one of those,

646
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 1: not as bad as the one at the White House.

647
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: But Nancy Pelosi made the decision that she would try

648
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: to guard the building with just the building security guys,

649
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: the Capitol Hill Police, which that's basically it is the

650
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: security guys at the building instead of actual troops and

651
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 1: Capitol police. They're nice, but they there's only a couple

652
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 1: of hundred of them, and they can't control four hundred

653
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: thousand demonstrators, so they'll leave that out of the discussion.

654
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: In fact, Nancy Pelosi to this day denies it, although

655
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: there's video of her admitting to it that night that

656
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 1: she turned it down and this is all her fault.

657
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: But she'll deny it, and they'll teach the fake version

658
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: of January sixth, they'll say, they'll just keep using the

659
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: word insurrection. It was an insurrection. Meantime, they arrested twelve

660
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: hundred of those demonstrators, not a single one has been

661
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: charged with insurrection. And remember they charged these guys with

662
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: everything they could hit him with. Each one got hit

663
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: with twelve charges nineteen charges twenty anything they could charge

664
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: him with, and nobody got charged with insurrection. But we'll

665
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: see see what happens if they can stop that from

666
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: going into the history books. Hey, TV ratings for the

667
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: year twenty twenty five, you know the New Year's Eve

668
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,959
Speaker 1: show on ABC, which was Dick Clark's rocking New Year's

669
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: Eve for years now, it's Ryan Seacrest did pretty well.

670
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: Got eighteen million viewers in today's broadcast TV world. That

671
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: is enormous. That's huge, huge, and got seventeen million the

672
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: year before, so it was a definite increase. It went up.

673
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: Andy Cohen, of course, looked ridiculous, getting drunk out of

674
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: his mind, going into a drunken rant about Eric Adams,

675
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: and then Adams was asked about it the next day.

676
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: What say to Andy Cohen, who called you all kinds

677
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: of names, and he said, I got my response is

678
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: two letters, and you thought it must be f you

679
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: or something like my response is two letters AA, which

680
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: was a great response. And now Adam's tweeting about Andy

681
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: Cohen alcoholics anonymous. So it is a problem. You know,

682
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: people get drunk on New Year's Eve, but if you're

683
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: on live television, in front of eighteen million people. You'd

684
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: think you'd have a little discipline not to get that drunk.

685
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: But it was a big night for ABC with the

686
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: eighteen million viewers. Fox News had one of the best

687
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: years ever. Four point one million viewers was the average.

688
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: That's like way beyond any other cable network. Four point

689
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: one million viewers. Biggest show of the year was The

690
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: Five and Jesse Waters and of course Hannity. Those are

691
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: the three biggest shows. MSNBC, CNN a bad year. Not

692
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: a lot. The most watched telecast of twenty twenty five

693
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: number one, right the super Bowl? Number two. Tracker The

694
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: hell is Tracker? I don't know. It's one of those

695
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: drama shows. I know, I do know. It's about that

696
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 1: whatever he is, a detective, whatever he is, who tracks

697
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: down missing people. Nineteen episodes, but it did really well.

698
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: The NFL was the biggest thing on television all year.

699
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: If you take the top hundred one hundred things of

700
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, forty five of them almost half were

701
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: NFL games. That's really the only thing keeping broadcast TV alive.

702
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: Ratings are down dramatically. Everything in broadcast TV ratings are

703
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: way down, But the NFL doing really well. Tim Waltz,

704
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, he said he will not seek reelection, and

705
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: I don't blame him. If eighteen billion was stolen right

706
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: under your nose in your own state, you got no

707
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: business seeking reelection. By the way, way the attorney general

708
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: of Minnesota, that left wing kook, Keith Ellison, Why hasn't

709
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: he resigned? If you're the attorney general and eighteen billion

710
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: was stolen right into your nose and you didn't catch it,

711
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: why hasn't he resigned? Now people are calling for Waltz

712
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: to resign immediately. He won't seek reelection, but people are

713
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: saying this is so bad, this scandal so horrifying, that

714
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: he should resign immediately. He refuses to do that.

715
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 10: I'm not going anywhere, and you can make all your

716
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 10: requests for me to resign over my dead body will

717
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 10: that happen. I will fight this thing till the very

718
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 10: end to make this state better. And the question that

719
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 10: I think they need to decide is is when did

720
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 10: the guy in the White House resign? Anytime I get

721
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 10: drug into being next to Donald Trump? God help me,

722
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 10: I don't want to be judged against that guy.

723
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: Now, Apparently in private, they told him he should resign,

724
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: and he threw a temper tantrument and went nuts, and

725
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: then he The rest of that speech was this whole

726
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: thing about every minute I spend on my own political

727
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: interests is a minut and that I can't spend defending

728
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: the people in Minnesota against the criminals who prey on

729
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: our generosity. Well, I think if eighteen billion went missing,

730
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: we could agree he's not very good at that. Anyway,

731
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: he is suffering. I mean, you don't want to make

732
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: fun of a guy with medical problems. He is suffering

733
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: from Trump derangement syndrome. Game's over for him now. It

734
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: was all me. I was the bad guy or whatever.

735
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 10: Well, put up or shut up now and tell us

736
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 10: what you're going to do to make this state better.

737
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 10: Answer these tough questions, quit hiding behind this and expect

738
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 10: for the next eleven months for me to ride you

739
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 10: like you've never been ridden.

740
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. But what's Trump going

741
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: to do about it? Well, right now they're going in

742
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 1: and arresting the criminals who stole the eighteen billion, not million,

743
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: eighteen billion. They're arresting them one by one. This is

744
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: like the Bernie Madoff cleanup. You know, they had to

745
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: go after everybody, but then they had to claw back

746
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: the money. Well, the fans are starting to do that.

747
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 1: You know a lot of these ring leaders of this fraud,

748
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: and it was just an out and out fraud scheme

749
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: by these Somalis in Minnesota. Many of them took the

750
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: money and bought mansions and Porsches and luxury goods and

751
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: all sorts of expensive real estate. Well here's one. One

752
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: woman was convicted. The court is now federal charges. The

753
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: court is now clawing back everything, making her sell the houses,

754
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: the Porsche, the cars, the Rolls Royces and getting the

755
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: money back. So it takes a while. You know, with

756
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: the Bernie Madoff stuff, that was like fifty billion, but

757
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: they got back like thirty billion of it. So they'll

758
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: get they'll probably get back nine billion of this money.

759
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: They'll claw it back slowly but surely. And that's what

760
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: you do about it. Oh, I forget George Conway. Now,

761
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: this guy is going to be great. We are so

762
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 1: lucky that he has come to New York and he's

763
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: going to run for the Gerald Nadler, a congressional seat

764
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: that's open. Now you might be saying well, what if

765
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: he wins. He's a left wing crazy, yeah, but so

766
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: as Nadler. So it's no change at all. And that

767
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: district in New York, you're always going to get a

768
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: left wing cook, so you might as well get this

769
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: guy because he's so silly and such a clown. George Conway.

770
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: He was married at one time to Kelly and Conway,

771
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: who's great, and you might say, well, how could that be. Well,

772
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: back then, you know, he was one of the most

773
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: brilliant lawyers in New York, brilliant attorney, a very successful guy,

774
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: and then he was married to her. But we've seen

775
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: this happen before where somebody goes nuts. And Conway was

776
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: hanging around with all the big Conservatives and Republicans, George

777
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: Conway and then at some point we've seen it with

778
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: other people. They they just snap, they just go nuts,

779
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they become a left wing

780
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: cook with Trump derangement syndrome. But he's going to run

781
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: for this seat on the west side of Manhattan. Now

782
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: you might be saying to yourself, wait a minute, he

783
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 1: lives in Maryland, he doesn't even live here. Well, he's

784
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: a Democrat. You can do whatever the hell you want

785
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: when you're a Democrat, and he's got raised money, and

786
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: he's got his first campaign ads, the George Conway campaign

787
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: is underway.

788
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 11: As one of the ads, we have a corrupt president,

789
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 11: a mendacious president, a criminal president whose masked agents are

790
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 11: disappearing people from our streets, who's breaking international law, and

791
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 11: he's running our federal government like a mob protection rocket.

792
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: This is why this guy's going to be great. This hysterical,

793
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: hyperbog nonsense. And he's mendacious, which I think is bad.

794
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what it is, but it's bad.

795
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: You don't want to be mendacious. He's disappearing people, it's

796
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: called arresting people. I love the and it's a violation

797
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: of international law. You're going to hear this a lot

798
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 1: from Democrats, especially with Venezuela. He's violated international law. Nobody

799
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: knows what the hell he's talking about. There's no such

800
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: thing as international law. Nobody knows what they're referring to.

801
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: Where's this international law you're talking about. There is no

802
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: national law. The only thing you could point to. I

803
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: asked Greg Jarrett, the great legal extorid, what the hell

804
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 1: are they talking about? The international law, he said, maybe

805
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: they're talking about the UN Charter United Nations, but they're

806
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: not a law enforcement agency. They have no law, they

807
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: have no authority, they have no standing at all. So

808
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as international law. But the commercial

809
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: goes on.

810
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 11: He doesn't like me. I don't like what he's done

811
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 11: to our great country, and now I'm running for Congress

812
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 11: to take the fight directly back to him.

813
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: On your behalf, you go. He does not like what

814
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: he's done to this country. But Joe Biden, he always

815
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: was thrilled about that. Thrilled. But this guy's going to

816
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: be great. We're so lucky to get him here. This

817
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: is so good for us. We're going to have nothing

818
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: but amusement from this. George Conway, you remember, he's the

819
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: guy that ran that crazy Lincoln project with the same thing.

820
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: Nothing he did work because it was all too over

821
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: the top hysterical.

822
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 12: I don't intend to be doing this when I'm sixty

823
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 12: six or sixty seven or sixty eight. You know, I'm

824
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 12: kind of like a special teams player. I want to

825
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 12: do this for one reason, and that is to help

826
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 12: get this our governmental system back on track with something

827
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 12: back to normal.

828
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 11: At least back toward normal.

829
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: There you go. His idea normal was Joe Biden, you know,

830
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: the great stephen A. Smith. Let me see if I

831
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: can find that quote. It's a very important point because

832
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 1: a lot of these Democrats are going nuts and screaming

833
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: and yelling. Stephen A. Smith is a Democrat, but he

834
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: he's like Bill Maher occasional bouts of common sense. But

835
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: he stunned a Democratic audience by explaining to them because

836
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: they can't get how Donald Trump gets elected. But Stephen A.

837
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: Smith explained to him that for all the things they

838
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: hate about Donald Trump, to normal voters, to most normal voters,

839
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: they think Trump is a lot closer to normal than

840
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: today's Democrats are. And you could look at Trump and say,

841
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: he's doing things that's not presidential. Why you behave like

842
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: that way? Well, whatever he does, it's a lot more

843
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: normal than Democrats are. Right now, Hey, there's a new phenomenon.

844
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: I don't like this at all. You know. You know

845
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: the restaurant Carbone. It opened I don't know about ten

846
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: years ago in the village Carbone, an Italian restaurant. It's

847
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: sort of it was just a gimmick actually for younger

848
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 1: you know, the whole new generation. It was like old

849
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: school red sauce Italian food. But to these younger people,

850
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: they'd never seen that. I mean, you could go to

851
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: Patsy's and it's much better there, but they never saw

852
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: anything like Carbone and the checker tablecloths. I never saw

853
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: anything like that. So it took off. It became huge.

854
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: And when you become the hottest trendiest restaurant. Then in

855
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: the old days, you were the hottest trendiest restaurant. Anybody

856
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: would come to New York. I gotta go there. I

857
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: want to. Well, now they opened. When you're at the

858
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 1: trendiest place, you opened everywhere. Then there was Carbone Miami,

859
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: then there was Carbone, Paris, Carbone, Los Angeles. Car Bone

860
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: now it's just opening in the Bellagio. So the reason

861
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: for this, you get these big hedge fund guys, and

862
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: whenever it's the hottest restaurant in the world. You know,

863
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 1: if you want to always get a table, you bribe

864
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: the maitre d us. But if you really want to

865
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: get treated well, you get friendly with the owner and

866
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: you offer to put up millions and millions and millions

867
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: to open some more restaurants. That's why you see like

868
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 1: Avre on sixtieth Street that became a big hotspot. Next

869
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: thing you know, there's an Ova on fiftieth Street. Next

870
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: thing you know, there's Anavora over here. Next thing you know,

871
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: there's one in Beverly Hills. There's one in Miami. But

872
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: this phenomenon is spreading everywhere, and it's not good. Everything

873
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: is becoming a chain now. For instance, Sally's Pizza New Haven,

874
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: There's Frank Peppi's, Sally's. These were like the two. You

875
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 1: drive to New Haven just to have these pizzas that

876
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: everybody's saying are the best in the world. Well, next

877
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: thing you know, Frank Peppy's opening everywhere everywhere. There's one

878
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: in the Fairfield, one in Stanford, there's one here, there's

879
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: one in Yonkers, there's one. They're all over the place.

880
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: There's a couple of them in Florida, they're in Nashville there.

881
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 2: Now.

882
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: The other one is sally. Sally's just announced they're opening

883
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: two one hundred and fifty of them, two one hundred

884
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: and fifty of them. Now, the problem is everybody would

885
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: go to New Haven because it was such phenomenal pizza.

886
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: When you open two hundred and fifty of them. You're

887
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: not gonna have the same pizza everywhere. It's not possible.

888
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: It doesn't work. And they're all doing this. You know,

889
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: in Queens and Utopia Boulevard. For a million years, Utopia

890
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: Bagels they were always the best bagels in your People

891
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: would drive out there just to go to Utopia Bagels.

892
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: They were so amazing. Then they opened one in Manhattan

893
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: and it's always the same story. It's not as good

894
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: as the original. Now there's four in New York City.

895
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: Now they're opening all over. Now, there's gonna be one

896
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: in London, they're opening here, they're opening. They've got to

897
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: stop this stuff. These are like our finest food things,

898
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: and they're all becoming franchises. Now. McDonald's can figure out

899
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: how to do it, but these people can't. It doesn't work.

900
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: It's diluting the whole thing. Even the top restaurants of

901
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: the world that John, George, Danielle, all these guys. Now

902
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: instead of one restaurant, they got seventy five, and they're

903
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,720
Speaker 1: not the same quality. You can't. You can't have seventy

904
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 1: five be the same quality. It's gotta stop. Hey, we'll

905
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: take some calls next eight hundred three to two one

906

Speaker 1: Yeah, in the.

950
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 14: Old person that killed her was still working. In fact,

951
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 14: was promoted and subsequent to her desk. She was not

952
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 14: a quoted any military owned I.

953
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: Know it's a it's a very important thing. Ashley Babbitt

954
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 1: was murdered in cold blood by a Capitol Hill policeman.

955
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: She's one of the protesters January sixth. But she's a military,

956
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: veteran war hero. She's a protester. But they will come

957
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: in through the window she's coming through and that officer

958
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: takes out his gun and just shoots her, just shoots

959
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: her in cold blood. And he's still there. A lot

960
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 1: of people are talking to the present about this. Something

961
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: should be done to this guy, at least fire him,

962
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: get him off the Capitol Hill Police. But a lot

963
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: of people in Congress have been defending this guy now

964
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 1: one reason, and this guy has a history of very

965
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: reckless behavior with his gun. It was an incident once

966
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: at his house where he just started firing at cars.

967
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he should be removed. But a lot of

968
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: people in Congress, big Congress people are afraid to go

969
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: after anybody in the Capitol Hill Police because they're the

970
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill Police. They've seen a lot, they know a

971
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 1: lot of secrets about these guys, so nobody wants to

972
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: get them on the You know against them, because they

973
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,680

00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 5: Uh.

989
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: In fact, if you go to any White House site,

Speaker 1: for days. Let's go to Bill in Hackensack, Bill, how

Speaker 1: you doing good? Thank you?

995
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 15: Mark, by the way, the one name the Democrats will

Speaker 15: never mention, aside from tampon, Tim Wolfs is Ashley Babbitt,

997
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 15: and thank you for mentioning her name. That innocent woman

998
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 15: who was five foot four Air Force veteran, Ashley Babbitt

999
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 15: gunned down, murdered and yes.

1000
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: By that awful Capitol hillcop who should be a lot

1001
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: of people are talking to the President constantly about going

1002
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: after this guy, finally getting some justice for Ashley Babbott.

1003
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,919
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike in New Jersey. Mike, how you doing?

1004
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, Hi, Mark, I enjoy your show.

1005
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: Thanks.

1006
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 16: My good question. The Affordable Care Act. My son is

1007
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 16: being hammered his premiums of Skyrocket and we just don't

1008
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 16: know what to do his coverage. Obviously he can't afford.

1009
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 16: There's no subsidies anymore. Is there anything you can suggest,

1010
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 16: as Trump have anything in the works? Well, Congress doing anything?

1011
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: That's the problem. This will all come up at the

1012
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: end of the month when they'll have to vote to

1013
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: continue the subsidies. It's over that issue that the government

1014
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: shut down happened last time, it could happen again. I

1015
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: would imagine in the end, because you've got midterms coming up,

1016
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 1: the President will sort of agree to continue that subsidy

1017
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: for a while his plan is much better instead of

1018
00:54:56,120 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: the constant subsidizing this Unaffordable Care Act, fix it, fix it.

1019
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: A lot of it'll be privatizing, and the whole system

1020
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: is totally government corrupt, you know, which means you know,

1021
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,720
Speaker 1: you get an MRI, they charge you three eight hundred

1022
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 1: dollars for it. Meantime there's another person getting an MRI

1023
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: somewhere else where it's eight hundred dollars. It's all of

1024
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 1: these ridiculous finaggling the problem to the Affordable Care Act.

1025
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,879
Speaker 1: It was just a gift to insurance agencies to charge

1026
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: whatever the hell they want to charge. It needs to

1027
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: be cleaned up. So they'll probably have to extend the

1028
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: subsidies for the rest of this year while they figure

1029
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: out how to fix this Affordable Care Act. Hey, when

1030
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,280
Speaker 1: we come back and culter, we'll be with us next

1031

00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: dot substack dot com and culture.

00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what a first week of twenty twenty six.

1039
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: Look all that's happened in one week. You got rid

1040
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 1: of Tim wats I, Dureau everything. What do you think

1041
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: I know?

1042
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Chrump's not letting the grass grow under his feet.

1043
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 4: We have a short amount of time. I think it's fantastic.

1044
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 4: I have a column coming out on it later. I

1045
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 4: want to go back to the era of a semi

1046
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 4: competent CIA, which we haven't had recently but may have now,

1047
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 4: installing puppet governments throughout Latin America. They're obviously incapable of

1048
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 4: governing themselves, and things were going great when the CIA

1049
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 4: and the State Department and John Foster Dulles were running things,

1050
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 4: knocking out the incompetence, I mean the problem. George Pennon,

1051
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 4: the legendary diplomat, Yeah, went took a tour through Latin America,

1052
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 4: knowing the strategic importance to the US He's and basically concluded,

1053
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 4: these people are incapable of governing themselves. We should take

1054
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 4: all measures. This is this is this will be a

1055
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 4: problem for the US. We shouldn't worry about democratic niceties

1056
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 4: that we would not accept in this country. And that

1057
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 4: was followed up until liberals got the idea that's oh no,

1058
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 4: they're just as good at self governance as we are. Well,

1059
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 4: obviously they aren't. Over and over again you get the

1060
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 4: same pattern. I mean Venezuela for example, which I've written

1061
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 4: about a few times. It was the people, i e.

1062
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 4: Peasants who keep voting for these communists who promised to

1063
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 4: steal from the rich and give them all their money,

1064
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 4: which they proceed to do, and then the country is

1065
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 4: out of money. They can't get loyal out of the ground. No,

1066
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 4: there has to be a paternalistic relationship to between the

1067
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 4: United States and Latin America. And it's weird that the

1068
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 4: media is acting as if we have no idea what

1069
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 4: this means to install the world be running things. No,

1070
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 4: no boots on the ground, no nation building. We just

1071
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 4: have our own, our own US ruler to save the

1072
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 4: people from themselves.

1073
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but who are we to complain about their governing.

1074
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: We just elected Kathy Hockel and Mom Donnie, So who

1075
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: are we to talk?

1076
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 4: Yes, well, New York should sit this one out.

1077
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: And Mom Donnie just put this woman in charge of

1078
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: housing and apparently one time she said home ownership is

1079
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: white supremacy, and we must see.

1080
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 4: Private press read in the New York Post. She owns

1081
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 4: a one point seven million dollar home in Tennessee. So

1082
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 4: at least there's no hypocrisy from the left. No, not ever,

1083
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 4: But wow, that is this is this is not going

1084
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 4: to be good for housing in New York. It probably,

1085
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 4: as we've discussed before, these run control measures just invariably

1086
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 4: drive up the price of housing and limit the supply.

1087
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,479
Speaker 4: As you have landlords who were forced to just walk

1088
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 4: away from their properties when the taxes and maintenance fees

1089
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 4: are more than what they are allowed to charge and

1090
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 4: rent by law. I mean, how long are they supposed

1091
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 4: to keep losing money every month? They just walk away

1092
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 4: and there goes there goes more housing.

1093
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, don't you feel bad for the left wing,

1094
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: the Democrats right now, these liberals, because remember they had

1095
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: to all go out and buy Ukrainian flags. Then they

1096
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: had to go buy Hamas flags. Then they had to

1097
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: buy Mexican flags, Then they had to get Somali flags.

1098
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: Now they got to go get Venezuelan flags.

1099
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 4: It's rough, as I prefer it to. I love when

1100
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 4: they have these leftist protests and you know they'll have

1101
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 4: one sharp George Soros type instructing them all go buy

1102
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 4: an American flag.

1103
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, for Republican it's easy. Just buy one American flag.

1104
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: You're except for life. That's all you need.

1105
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 4: They probably have their American flags if they're republic Uh.

1106
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: And what about Tim wats Is that the silliest guy

1107
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: you've ever seen? Did you ever think it would be

1108
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: over this fast for him?

1109
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 4: Not totally surprised. Man, he was a boob from the

1110
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 4: moment he he showed up. Uh, it's it's it's a maybe.

1111
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 4: It teams a bit annoying that. I mean, you did

1112
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 4: almost become the vice president of the United States. All

1113
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 4: of this was known when he was running. There were

1114
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 4: there were surprisingly enough liberal administrators of these government programs,

1115
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 4: well you know, regular Minnesotans who were trying to be

1116
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 4: whistleblowers and being retaliated against out of Minnesota. This was

1117
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 4: a story there for the taking. Uh, I guess, I

1118
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 4: guess you and I read about it and and and

1119
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 4: talked about it a little bit. It was showing up

1120
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 4: on Twitter and in conservative publications like Breitbart, not in

1121
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 4: the detail we have now. But when was the mainstream

1122
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 4: media going to get around to covering this about the

1123
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 4: possible next vice president of the United States.

1124
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:11,919
Speaker 1: I think never was the date they had picked. But hey,

1125
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: the other thing I'm watching every left wing fake news

1126
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 1: they're all keep saying about Venezuela, it's a violation of

1127
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 1: international law. Nobody can figure out where the hell is

1128
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: this international law they're talking about. Where does that exist?

1129
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: There is no law in.

1130
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 4: The imaginations of small children and liberals like Santa Claus

1131
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 4: and the Easter Bunny. There is no such thing as

1132
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 4: international law, international laws. Whatever the United States says international

1133
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 4: law is so yes, it is hilarious when liberals go

1134
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 4: around wailing about the violations of something that doesn't exist. Yeah,

1135
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 4: tell us what? Tell us what Santa Claus says?

1136
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 2: Next?

1137
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, what are we going to do here in

1138
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: New York with Mom Donnie? You know, this is going

1139
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: to get out of control.

1140
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 4: It's not looking good so far. I mean, I mean,

1141
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 4: there was I had some I don't know if it's

1142
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 4: it's hope or if it just seems kind of logical

1143
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 4: that he doesn't seem like a like a half wit

1144
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 4: the way Tim Waltz does, so I kind of. I mean,

1145
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 4: when he decided to keep and announce before the election

1146
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 4: that he was going to keep the Police Commissioner Jessica Tish.

1147
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 4: I thought, okay, well he does at least know his

1148
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 4: entire mayoralty will go to hell if if he unleashes

1149
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 4: criminals on the citizenry. And I thought maybe it would

1150
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 4: be a lot of left wing talk, but he would maintain,

1151
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 4: you know, just to to satisfy his it's not particularly

1152
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 4: astute base, but then actually do a decent job running

1153
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 4: the city. No, it does not look like that at all,

1154
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 4: Mark Simone.

1155
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 17: He seems to really believe he's going to put all

1156
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 17: DEI and left incompetence in important government positions and know

1157
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 17: that really does not vode well.

1158
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: Well, but it's just the third term of Deblasio. All

1159
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,479
Speaker 1: these same people were in the Deblasio administration. It was bad,

1160
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: but we got through it. So we'll get through this,

1161
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 1: won't we.

1162
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,439
Speaker 4: Well, it is New York City, and New York City

1163
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 4: it's a hard city to wreck. And all I can

1164
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 4: say is that's what we thought for many years about

1165
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 4: the most beautiful state in the Union, California. But you know,

1166
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 4: let Democrats put their minds to it, they can wreck anything.

1167
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: So you know, they always love this socialism and you

1168
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: could point out it's never worked anywhere in the world.

1169
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: The last ten thousand times it failed. But don't they

1170
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: also ever notice that whenever they do these big programs,

1171
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: billions of dollars go missing. Deblasio lost a billion dollars

1172
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: in that fake program. We just saw eighteen billion go

1173
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 1: missing in Minnesota. Don't they ever notice all the money

1174
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: goes missing?

1175
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 4: Hilarious? Yeah, I was just looking. I was just on

1176
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 4: Twitter before calling in to my friend Mickey Cows and

1177
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 4: tweeted out something about this Minnesota fraud, and his very

1178
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 4: left wing brother tweeted back at him, saying, you know,

1179
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 4: this is the fault of conservatives that this program had

1180
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 4: been I've been government run, we never would have had

1181
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 4: this fraud. This is simultaneously with two hundred billion being

1182
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 4: stolen from the COVID relief funds.

1183
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: No, it's just it's just off. Hey year old buddy

1184
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: George Conway is coming to New York. He didn't live here,

1185
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 1: but he's running for Jerry Nadler's congressional seat. Do you

1186
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: think he has any chance?

1187
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 4: Well, it elected. Jerry Nndler can't say I really have

1188
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 4: my finger on the pulse of those voters. I don't know.

1189
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 4: It's very very strange. George and I weirdly enough, we're

1190
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 4: best friends for a long time. I introduced him to

1191
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 4: his wife. There was no daylight between our positions. And

1192
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 4: I don't know a lot of people Trump just just broken.

1193
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. There are people that just I was

1194
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: when Trump came along, they just went off the deep end.

1195
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of them.

1196
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 4: But that's straight. He's not the only one of my friends.

1197
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 4: And it's one thing. I mean, you know, I have

1198
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 4: my I have my complaints with Trump. There's a lot

1199
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 4: to complain about there. But when you have people who

1200
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 4: have been had certain certain and like I said, Georgs

1201
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 4: and the only one a certain worldview, you know, anti crime,

1202
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 4: for example, anti public violence, anti communism, and just because

1203
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, they don't like Trump again, lots to

1204
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 4: dislike there. They suddenly slip on every single position they've

1205
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 4: ever held, believed, argued written about. It's a very strange

1206
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 4: phenomenon and I've seen it, I'd say a handful of times.

1207
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and Culter, great talking to you. Glad you're back,

1212
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 4: Good to talk you, Mark Simone.

1213
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: Bye, right, take care. I don't forget Buck and Clay Boy.

1214
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: I love their show. It's every day noon to three

1215
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 1: and it's coming up right after the news on seven

1216
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: to ten WR. There's no such thing as international law.

1217
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: When they say Trump is violated international law. So if

1218
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: you went to any left wing kook and you try

1219
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: to justify that comment, all they can point to is well,

1220
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 1: some countries have treaties and agreements with each other, okay,

1221
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 1: but that's not international law. And there is the United

1222
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: Nations a charter, but they have no authority over anything.

1223
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:58,600
