Restaurants, supermarkets, 9 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff is not open today. Also, it's 10 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: gonna it'll all die down. It's gonna end by five 11 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: thirty or six. The wind already dying down. The rate 12 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: of the snowfall is dramatically down. It was snowing it 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: like two inches an hour overnight. Now it's snowing at 14 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: like zero point two inches an hour. So much better now. 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: President Trump tomorrow night, big State of the Union speech. 16 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: He'll talk about tariffs and how to continue them. He 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: can keep doing the tariffs. Just as Supreme Court was 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: not a massive slap down of the tariffs. They basically 19 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: said the law you're using to do it is the 20 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: wrong one. And they didn't offer any remedy of any kind. 21 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: They didn't say you got to return the money or 22 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: since they kept it very light, it was a very 23 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: light slap on the wrist. It wasn't what the networks 24 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: made it out to be. President Trump not happy with 25 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: the ruling. 26 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: I can destroy the trade. I can destroy it. 27 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: What he's talking about here is a lot of people 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: think the Supreme Court ruling was incorrect, including Justice Kavanaugh, 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: who probably wrote the smartest opinion on it. He used 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: this Emergency Powers Act, which allows him to do pretty 31 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: much anything when it comes to trade with another country. 32 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: He can shut it down altogether. He can do so 33 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: many things that, to Kavanaugh's point is it's kind of 34 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: crazy to think when they wrote this act they didn't 35 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: also mean he could have tariffs. If he could do 36 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: the most extreme things, why couldn't he do a light 37 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: thing like this. So many believe Kavanaugh was right on this. 38 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: The other judges were wrong in order to even That's 39 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: what he's talking about here. 40 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 2: I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country. 41 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country destroying embargo. 42 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: I can embargo. I can do anything I want, but 43 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: I can't charge one dollar. 44 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: So that was Kavanaugh's point, and he's probably right. It 45 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: was a crazy ruling. 46 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: They're just being fools and lapdogs for the Rhinos and 47 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 2: the radical left Democrats, and not that they should have anything. 48 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: At all to do with it. 49 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 2: They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our constitution. 50 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, now, if you're watching the networks, this is unprecedented. Now, 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: it's not plenty of presidents of attacked a Supreme Court ruling. 52 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: But you can't say bad things about the justices, well, 53 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: of course you can. You know, it's the king of 54 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: that Chuck Schumer. Remember it came to that was some 55 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: sort of an abortion room. You remember Schumer out there 56 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: at the rally with the megaphone warning Gorshous, you're gonna 57 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: get it, You're gonna get yours. We're gonna go after you. 58 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: So nobody's been worse at threatening attacking the Supreme Court 59 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: justice than Chuck Schumer himself. President Trump just saying he's 60 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: disappointed the. 61 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I'm 62 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: ashamed of certain members of the Court, absolutely ashamed for 63 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: not having the courage to do what's right for our country. 64 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: Why, why this is unprecedented, this kind of response, No 65 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: it's not. Plenty of presidents have said exactly the same thing. 66 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: Hey the Olympics. Are they over yet? No, they're still going. Hey, well, 67 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: who watches Network TV anyway? I'm not a big Olympics fan, 68 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: and I have no interest ever have in hockey. I 69 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: don't know why. I just can't get interested in hockey 70 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: watching it. But this is a great moment for the 71 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: United States as they beat the Canadian hockey team when 72 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: it's really significant because right now we're bickering with Canada 73 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: and right now well and also because Canada is the 74 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: the hockey capital of the world. So if you can 75 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,799 Speaker 1: beat Canada and hockey, you can beat anybody. Great moment 76 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: for the United States. 77 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: Out of states with numbers. 78 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: Walk Acrostic thumbs, Jack Switcher, the golden goal for the 79 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 3: United States. 80 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 2: For the first time since the nineteen eighty bar gold 81 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 2: in the United States. 82 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: Takes the doll Well, it was quite exciting, all right. 83 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: I mean again, I'm not a hockey fan. I'm not 84 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: a big Olympic fan, but that was exciting. The snow 85 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: stay home. You got the best county executive in America, 86 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: Bruce Flakeman, Nassau County. 87 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 4: It's easier for our cruise to make the highways and 88 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 4: roadways safe, and it will be safer for you to 89 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 4: say stay home with the high winds and the snow 90 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 4: and the lack of visibility. 91 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another reason for these emergency things where you're 92 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,679 Speaker 1: not allowed to drive. They want nobody on the roads. 93 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: It's because it's easier to clear the roads and clean 94 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: them and keep You can't just wait till it all 95 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: falls and then clean the road. You got to clean 96 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: and plow like every couple of inches in order to 97 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: get it done properly. So that's the other reason. 98 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 4: This storm will be a profound storm, one that will 99 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 4: reach blizzard level with high winds of fifty to sixty 100 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 4: miles an hour, and we could have accumulation exceeding eighteen inches, 101 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 4: which would definitely be historic. 102 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you look at Blakeman, it's a good 103 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: looking guy, but you look at him, he looks like 104 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: a guy who's been around. He looks like a guy 105 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: with a ton of experience. He looks like a veteran 106 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,119 Speaker 1: who's done millions. He looks like he knows what he's doing. 107 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: Then you look at mom Donnie, he looks like he 108 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: just got out of college a week ago. He looks 109 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: like his only joby ever read in his life was 110 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: being like a paper boy or something. He looks just 111 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: like a total inexperienced guy. 112 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 5: Combined with daytime temperatures slipping above freezing and overnight lows 113 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 5: dropping to the low twenties, this snowfall will melt then refreeze, 114 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 5: resulting in dangerously icy sidewalks and streets. 115 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: All right, it looks totally inexperienced. But you get a 116 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: lot of these young elitist little college kids. They got 117 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: no experience at all, but they can talk like this, 118 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: and they can talk very fast, and they talk so 119 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: fast than you think, well, the guy must know what 120 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: he's talking about, because who can talk that fast if 121 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: he doesn't they So they sound like they know what 122 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: they're doing, but then they try to do it and 123 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: nothing gets done. Speaking of nothing getting done and incompetent. 124 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: So this Gavin Newsome is running for president obviously, and 125 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: you know this voter id question. I think everybody in 126 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: the world now realizes it's just a complete scam by Democrats. 127 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: They we have voter id for everything everything, everything to 128 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: buy anything, to get cough medicine and dructure. You got 129 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: to have a voter photo ID everywhere to get on 130 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: a plane, come into any office building. You know, if 131 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: you want to go to MSNBC or CNN, you got 132 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: to show photo ID to get in their building. You 133 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: have to show photo I D everywhere for everything. So 134 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: the only thing, the only thing they don't want it 135 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: for is voting, which means it's obviously a scheme to 136 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: get illegals voting, to get people to vote multiple times. 137 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: Obviously it's a scam. So Newsom is being interviewed on 138 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: some panel and he's up there in front of the audiences. 139 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: He says, well, you can't require a photo ED because 140 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't have a birth certificate. They 141 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: don't have and then Newsom says, I don't have a 142 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: birth certificate. I don't know where it is. I haven't 143 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: seen it in a million years. I don't know where 144 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: my birth certificate is, so I can't get it. How 145 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: could I get it? A lot of people were stunned 146 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: that Newsom is Could he be that stupid? I think 147 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: I assume he's just lying. He's not actually that dumb. 148 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: It's very easy to get a birth certificate replaced if 149 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: you don't have your birth certificate. If you lost it 150 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: a million years ago, it's a simple matter to get 151 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: it replaced. Just google it replace a birth certificate. Fifty 152 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: different sites will come up. Government sites. Also, there's a 153 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: lot of private companies that do it for you. You just 154 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: go fill out a form where you were born, all 155 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: that stuff, and they'll get you a replacement birth certific 156 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: You might have to wait five six weeks for it 157 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: to come in the mail, but it's very easy to 158 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: get a birth aat of it if you don't have yours. 159 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: Simple thing in the world. Nobody could believe Newsom is 160 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: that stupid, that bumbling, that he has no idea that 161 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: you can get your birth certify it replaced. So the 162 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: Democratic Party has a problem. Besides having all these crazy 163 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: radical left wing far left woke, they've got an amazing 164 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: assortment of very dumb people. You had AOC last weekend 165 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: ten days ago. AOC is at this conference in Munich 166 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: and she's asked a simple foreign policy question. If China 167 00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: invades Taiwan, will the US respond, will they do something? 168 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: And the answer is, of course, yes, we will defend Taiwan. 169 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: Or the answer is and this is actually the official 170 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: policy of the United States. They're called strategic ambiguity, but 171 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: you give an answer of somethingse so she couldn't answer 172 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: the question. Instead, she double talk a word salad that 173 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: sounded so ridiculous. And she's been ridiculed all over the 174 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: world for bumbling an answer to a simple question. And 175 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: I guess it's getting to her. So this weekend she 176 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: put out a it was in the middle of the night. 177 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: It looked like the middle of the night. She put 178 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: out this rambling, mumbling, a whispering kind of response, trying 179 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: to explain why she gave such a dumb answer to 180 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: the question. And I guess she does this by herself. 181 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: There's no staff to say to her, Hey, don't post this. 182 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: You look like you're drunk. It looks like it's in 183 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: the middle of the night. Look like a drunken rant. 184 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: Don't post it. You look stoned. You look well, here 185 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: it is. This is what she posted. It's her at 186 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: home alone, like right in the face, right in the camera. 187 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 6: I think that I don't understand foreign policy because out 188 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 6: of hours of discourse about international affairs, I pause to 189 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 6: think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that 190 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 6: currently exist on Earth. I'm afraid the issue is not 191 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 6: my understanding, but rather the problem is perhaps you've gotten 192 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 6: adjusted to a president that never thinks before he speaks. 193 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: With that whole Uh what the ranting was all about? 194 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: It just sounds really really really crazy, but not helping 195 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: her at all. Last on the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, Uh, 196 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: nobody really knows anything at this point. They're talking about 197 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: the problem is this local sheriff's office, the bumbling local 198 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: yocal you know, Barney Fife, kind of a sheriff's office, 199 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: then making statements about the DNA could take a year 200 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: to analyze. I don't know what that means. They're thinking 201 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: this could be a total amateur. Some think it's as 202 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: a couple of private eyes who've been working on this, 203 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: who think it's the drug cartel. There's a lot of 204 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: people think it's a total amateur. By the bumbling way 205 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: that the amateur approached the door and then had nothing 206 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: to cover the camera with, so he grabbed some foliage 207 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: and try to do it with that, and then didn't 208 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: know how to do it. Also, the holster that he 209 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: was wearing on the front is like the lowest, cheapest, crummiest, 210 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: most amateurish holster they don't think any professional criminal would 211 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: use such a holster, and also cited the suspects of 212 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: clothing and gear. It didn't look right. Now, there's some 213 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: that still go to the Mexican drug cartel thinking that 214 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: the type of clothing. And he's one that says, this 215 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: kind of stuff is typically in Mexico cheap holster. Those 216 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: weird looking gloves, that sort of stuff. Now they found 217 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: an Arizona couple found another pair of gloves. These these 218 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: gloves blood stain out there near the neighborhood. Actually, people 219 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: have found several different several different gloves all around the neighborhood. Well, 220 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: how does so many people throw their gloves all over 221 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: the place. It's a very warm climate there. I don't 222 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: know why all these people would have gloves anyway, who 223 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: would wear gloves in such a warm climate. But we'll see. Hey, 224 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: the Ukraine War, does anybody remember that? You know that 225 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: Russia Ukraine? Do you know they're still fighting? You never 226 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: hear a word about this ever used to be all 227 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: over the news. You don't hear a single thing about it. 228 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: Watch every newscast in the world for the last week. 229 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: Nothing about Ukraine. But the war still continues. And Ukraine 230 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: a huge strike this past week, Ukraine strike missile strike 231 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: against a key Russian military facility. It was a missile 232 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: factory actually, and it was deep inside Russia, eight hundred 233 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: and sixty miles inside Russia, eight hundred and sixty miles 234 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: inside Russia. And the Ukraine hit it with a bunch 235 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: of missiles and took it out. And they used not 236 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: Tomahawk missiles, US Tomahawk. No, No, they used Flamingo missiles. 237 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: Now you're saying, what the hell's a Flamingo missile. It's 238 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: actually made by a company called high Point. It's a 239 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: Ukrainian company in Ukraine. They can travel reportedly two thousand miles. 240 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: But they were right on target. Took out this missile 241 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: factory eight hundred and sixty miles deep inside Russia, all 242 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: done with Ukrainian made missiles. Pretty good. So it may 243 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: get to the point where they may be able to 244 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: actually make their own weapons, defend themselves, not depend on 245 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: us for anything. 246 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 7: Though. 247 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: We'll see.

Let's go to Rich in 301 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach. Rich, How you doing pretty good? 302 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 3: No snow, but it does feel like twenty two degrees 303 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 3: down here, so we got the cold air, you know. 304 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: So you're in Myrtle Beach. You ever get a lot 305 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: of snow? You don't get snow there, do you? 306 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 3: Yeah? 307 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 7: We did. 308 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 3: We had five inches last month and stuck around for 309 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 3: a day. Two last year we had five or six inches. 310 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 3: That's stuck around for almost a week. But you know, 311 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: they have a little clown call with a shovel on it, 312 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 3: and that's their their plow, and you know it actually 313 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: just shuts down the entire state when something like that happens. 314 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: You know, well, we got fifteen inches in New York, 315 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: eighteen inches in the suburbs, two feet in the south 316 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: shore of Long Island. 317 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 3: So that's why I used to live in Long Beach 318 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 3: and Atlantic Beach. I'd probably have two feet of snow 319 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 3: right now. You know, I sit around and just watch it. Melt. 320 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 3: I used to like shoveling snow, even when I was 321 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 3: in my fifties. I made money shoveling snow. 322 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: Come up here. You can get nineteen dollars and forty 323 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: cents an hour from Mamdani. 324 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm trying to have to show two forms of 325 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 3: ID even though I don't need one to vote. That's 326 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 3: pretty unbelievable. That was I saw that in the news 327 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 3: the other day. You have to have two forms of 328 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 3: ID to shovel snow for twelve dollars an hour, but 329 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 3: you don't have to have one to vote up there. 330 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 3: You know, Hey, I'm watching the news here, Mark, And 331 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 3: you know they killed this drug cartel Kingtin in Mexico, 332 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 3: who was an ex cop by the way, all right, 333 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 3: so instead of the cartel's just taking the loss, putting 334 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 3: somebody else in shorge and keep pumping out the drugs. 335 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 3: Now they want to just make themselves be known.

Obviously you need 438 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 7: an ID to buy anything anywhere, to get into any 439 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 7: office building. It's obviously the Democrats up to no good 440 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 7: with this voter ID stuff. 441 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: Am I right? 442 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 7: Well, let's look at the New York City we learned 443 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 7: a few years ago when Deblasio was mayor how much 444 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 7: fraud there was in New York City elect the Democratic 445 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 7: appointee to the Board of Elections for Manhattan was accosted 446 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 7: by James O'Keefe at a party and he admitted how 447 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 7: much fraud there was in New York. He said, you know, 448 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 7: in buses they rent them in Chinatown, they take up, 449 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 7: pick up the homeless, they give them packs of cigarettes, 450 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 7: they drive them from polling place to polling place, and 451 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 7: that's just one way that they do fraud. And Deblasio's 452 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 7: response was not to question him about the fraud, but 453 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 7: to fire him. He fired his own Democratic appointee to 454 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 7: the Board of Elections. So we know there's fraud. Now, 455 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 7: what does Mayor Mandami do well. The mayor says, voter 456 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 7: ID is racist. He agrees with Chuck Schumer that it's 457 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 7: Jim Crow two point zero. But when he announces that 458 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 7: the city needs emergency snow shovelers yesterday, what does he say. 459 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 7: It's nineteen dollars an hour, you know, good wages, maybe 460 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 7: not union wages, but good wages. 461 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 3: And you only. 462 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 7: Have to bring five forms of ID to sign up. 463 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 7: You need two photos, you need two IDs and your 464 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 7: Social Security card and then you can snow. Then you're 465 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 7: allowed to shovel snow, which is of course a high security, 466 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 7: high impact job. So The hypocrisy here is beyond rich. 467 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: Isn't it also the most racist thing on earth? For 468 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: Democrats to say, well, a black voter can't figure out 469 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: how to get an idea they wouldn't be capable of getting. 470 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: How racist is well? 471 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 7: The Brennan Center, which is the liberal think tank that 472 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 7: does these issues, say twenty five percent of African Americans 473 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 7: lack of a lower ID, an idea that would be 474 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 7: accepted at the polls. That's ridiculous. Everybody knows that. I mean, 475 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 7: you can't sign up for Medicare, you can't sign up 476 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 7: for catching a check, you can't travel, you can't do 477 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 7: anything with that idea today, it's preposterous to say the 478 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 7: twenty five percent of African Americans ID. And of course 479 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 7: African Americans think it's preposterous. If you look at the polls, 480 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 7: the most recent ones of the Washington Post survey and 481 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 7: the and the Pew Research survey, seventy one percent of 482 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 7: African Americans support photo idea at the polls, sixty seven 483 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 7: percent of Hispanics and eighty percent of Asian Americans. So 484 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 7: if it's so racist, if it's so discriminatory, why is 485 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 7: it that they all of these minority groups have false 486 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 7: consciousness and believe something which isn't true. 487 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: He didn't Obama require photo ID to get Obamacare. 488 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 7: Well, of course you need the idea to get Obamacare. 489 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 7: You need ID for everything. In fact, if you march 490 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 7: down to the to the city hall to get married, 491 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 7: and that's you know, marriage is a constitutional right, whether 492 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 7: it's gay or straight marriage, you've got to have an ID. 493 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 9: Yeah. 494 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 1: Well, so what do you think will happen? Will we 495 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 1: get the can the federal government do something to make 496 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: it uniform voter idea require? 497 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 7: First of all, we don't want to follow what Joe 498 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 7: Biden did, which is he tried to nationalize the elections. 499 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 7: He tried to take away the power of the states 500 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 7: to run the elections and federalize it in Washington. We 501 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 7: don't want that. So what the law that's before the 502 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 7: Senate now it passes past the House. The law says, 503 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 7: the federal government, if it's going to give money to 504 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 7: people to the states for voting machines and improving their technology, 505 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 7: in response, you have to require that the states ask 506 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 7: for a photo ID to vote the polls. And when 507 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 7: people first register they have to prove their citizenship. And 508 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 7: there are many ways to prove your citizenship. You can 509 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 7: do it with a birth certificate, which, by the way, 510 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 7: you can get online. Now you can go through almost 511 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 7: all the records and if you're less than eighty years old, 512 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 7: you're going to find your certificate online and can get 513 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 7: a copy sent to you. And look, I'll say it 514 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 7: should be free, you know. I think that everybody should 515 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 7: have access to a free ID and then they can 516 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 7: use it to vote. And you know that's why. So 517 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 7: it's so easy, that's why so overwhelming majorities of every 518 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 7: American demographic group supported. In fact, the last time I 519 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 7: checked it was the Washington Post survey. There were forty 520 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 7: different categories of voters and the only category, which voter 521 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 7: I D did not have a majority of it had 522 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 7: a plurality support. More supported it than not. They were 523 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 7: few not sure was the extremely liberal group I call 524 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 7: those MSNBC and ms NOW voters. Other than that, everyone 525 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 7: supports voter ID. 526 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: So, hey, maybe maybe it's too early to ask you this, Well, 527 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: how does it look for the midterms? What do you 528 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: think happens in the midterms? 529 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 7: If the election work today would not be good. But 530 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 7: the election is not held today, It's held in November, 531 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 7: and the economy will go through a lot of generations 532 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 7: before then. President Trump, you know, has been known to 533 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 7: pull rabbits out of hats, but you know he's gonna 534 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 7: have to be a pretty big rabbit. He has made 535 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 7: some tactical mistakes, Mark, and unfortunately I think he is 536 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 7: anger sometimes gets ahead of his cold calculated self interest. 537 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 7: And the problem with the tariffs is this. The tariffs 538 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 7: are very very popular with his base. Eighty seven percent 539 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 7: of Maga Republicans like the tariffs, but forty three percent 540 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 7: of non Maga Republicans support the tariffs. So there's a 541 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 7: big gap there, and there's still a lot of non 542 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 7: Maga Republicans. So here's the problem. Overall, independents hate the 543 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 7: tariffs by two to one, and they're the ones who 544 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 7: decide the election in these thirty swing house races. I 545 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,719 Speaker 7: think the Supreme Court handed the President a gift. It 546 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 7: gives him an excuse to blame someone else for scilling 547 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 7: back to tariffs and not making them the big issue 548 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 7: in the campaign. Here's the problem we have, Mark, He's 549 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 7: imposed this new fifteen percent tariff, but it expires in 550 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 7: five months. That puts us right in the middle of 551 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 7: the fall campaign. Congress will then have to vote on 552 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 7: the tariffs to extend them, otherwise they go away immediately. 553 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 7: Trump will put pressure on the Republican congressman to vote 554 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 7: for them, but enough will not vote for them that 555 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 7: he'll go down to defeat. He'll look weak. The tariffs 556 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 7: will be the issue in the fall election. It won't 557 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 7: be ice, It'll be the tariffs, and people who worry 558 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 7: about affordability and the high price of things are going 559 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 7: to say Trump wanted tariffs, he just forced Congress to 560 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 7: vote on them, and I don't want high prices, so 561 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 7: I'm going to not vote Republican or stay home. 562 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: Well, now, what can he do tomorrow night, say to 563 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: the Union speach to fix that? Can he do something 564 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: tomorrow night to really. 565 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 7: Make if he wants to pull rabbit out of the hat, 566 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 7: here's the biggest rabbit he can pull. Right now, Everything 567 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 7: in our economy is indexed. You know, your Social Security 568 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 7: payment is indexed, your tax brackets are indexed. Everything is 569 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 7: indexed for inflation. The one thing that isn't indexed for 570 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 7: inflation is capital gains. If you buy an asset, whether 571 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 7: it's a painting, a house, a stock, it's not index 572 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 7: translation as it appreciates in value. In other words, if 573 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 7: you sell something, you're selling it at the price it 574 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 7: is today, not the price you paid for it. So 575 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 7: what the president can do, and he could do it 576 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 7: with housing, but I think he should do it with 577 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 7: the economy as a whole. He should say, if you 578 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 7: sell something, you're going to pay the capital gains on 579 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 7: the original price, not the price you settle down. This 580 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 7: will unlock housing all over the country. There are people 581 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 7: sitting in houses mark that aren't selling because they don't 582 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 7: want to pay the capital gains because there's your housing 583 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 7: exemption goes away after a while. If he did that, 584 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 7: that would be turbo charging the economy. Secretary of State, Treasury, 585 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 7: Secretary's Treasury vest and has done the numbers. Would turbo 586 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 7: charge the economy would have a rush of GDP growth 587 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 7: and people would be freed up. They could get they 588 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 7: could change assets, they could buy new assets. It would 589 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 7: be a boon and it would be a political winner. 590 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: Wow. Good stuff, well, John Fund brilliant as always.
