Speaker 4: I wish these companies would work with Trump.

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: Right now, the oil companies, all these others running with

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: detail between their legs.

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: Let's say it. If they take Malco House and the

00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 5: They need to cooperate with.

00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: Trump, right Yeah.

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: Well, it's not just the oil companies, the government too,

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: government taxes. In fact, one of the things they could

32
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: do right now to get the prices back to normal

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: is just and Trump has talked about this a gas

34
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: tax holiday. Just drop the gas taxes for a couple

35
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: of weeks. Democrats refuse. They won't do it, not gonna

36
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: do it. Let's go to uh, let's go to Dave

37
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Dave, how you doing.

38
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark. I'm doing very well. Thank you, Mark.

39
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 5: I cannot understand why college campuses are protest, protesting Operation

40
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 5: Epic Fury. They should be listening to you on w

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 5: o R. Why Fox News Newsmax. Is that possible that

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 5: these professors and students have been blainewashed.

43
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 1: It's not only possible, it's exactly what happened. I don't

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: think you can see any college professors listening or watching

45
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: Fox News or Newsmax. I don't think their head would

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: explode if they did. They're all got MSNBC on getting

47
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: brainwashed by that. They all got CNN on while it's

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: still there watching that, and they I don't think they

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: even stopped to think. You're protesting the death of a

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: man who murdered protesters for protesting. He spent the last

51
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: forty years murdering protesters who protested. Last month, he killed

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: thirty thousand protesters for protesting, and you're protesting his death.

53
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: Let's go to Linda in Long Island. Linda, how you

54
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: doing Hellia? No, you got to do it right. It's

55
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: how are you? It's deep, it's not high.

56
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: I have to practice.

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: You have to practice. Okay, the official mar Alago greeting,

58
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: how are you?

59
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: I love that. I love when you do that. Okay, quickly.

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: The interest rate. Now, when they're talking about the value

61
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: of our money, they keep saying it's going down. So

62
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: it doesn't help help to have more money. They have

63
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: to raise the interest rate. Now we have the situation.

64
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: I've heard some economists.

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: Say we should.

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: Actually we had John Tarney on Last Hour, the most

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: brilliant guy on the economy on interest rates. He was

68
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: brilliant now I'm listening to you. I don't know what

69
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: you talking. What are you saying? What a contrast?

70
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: All right?

71
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: Huh Steve? How about Steve Moore?

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: Brilliant?

73
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: He is brilliant. He agrees we should not wall with

74
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: the interest rate. The value of our money is going down.

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 4: We're making You should.

76
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: Find another subject. You don't sound good as an economist.

77
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: I'm far as did imitate? Right?

78
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're good at Where are you in Long Island?

Speaker 1: What are you in? The fugitive? Don't worry, nobody's coming over. Okay,

00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: Nice woman, Linda, thanks for calling. Let's go to Let's

89
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: go to Robert in Westchester. Robert, how you doing?

90
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark, and thanks for taking my call. For

91
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 3: those Democrats that are ringing their hands about nom the

92
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: last administration had three buttes Garland, Majorcus and Ray that

93
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 3: hurt our nation beyond repair. In fact, President Trump is

94
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: doing his utmost best to bring it back.

95
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: Not a very good point. That was the worst cabinet

96
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: ever assembled. In fact, in business school they should teach that,

97
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, as an example of the worst, the worst

98
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: staffing ever in the history of the world. That was

99
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: the dumbest cabinet cabinet ever assembled. From Buddha Jeedge to

100
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: majorcas to and sleazy dirty Merrick Garland, that kind of stuff.

101
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to Rich and Myrtle Beach.

102
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 3: Rich.

103
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: How you doing?

104
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: Hey?

105
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 4: Thanks Mark. You know, firstly, if I got to my point,

106
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 4: if Joan Powell was doing what he was supposed to

107
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 4: be doing the last eight and nine months, we were

108
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 4: half of this problem. Wouldn't We wouldn't be in this mess.

109
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: You know.

110
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 4: The funny thing is Trump is liberating the two most

111
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: of pressed groups in the world in Iran women and gays,

112
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: and those are the two biggest voting blocks for the Democrats,

113
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: and they're all too stupid even realize what he's doing

114
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: for them.

115
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, good point. Also, it's pretty clear now that the

116
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: Democrats have lost one million voters as a result Iranian Americans,

117
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: one million of them no longer going to vote for

118
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. This is their dream, the liberation of Iran.

119
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: There's a huge Iranian population just here and speaking of

120
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: Long Island, Sand's Point, Great Neck, a lot of Persian

121
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: residents and they are thrilled at the liberation of Iran.

122
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: So when they watch democrats, it says, if democrats want

123
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: to want the want the Ihola like revived and put

124
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: back in power, they actually almost are for that. It's

125
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: it's going to cost them a lot of voters when

126
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: we come back. Oh, Jackie Martlin will be with us. Now,

127
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: this is going to be interesting. Jackie Martlin is all

128
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: through the Epstein files. Nothing bad, nothing bad, all good stuff.

129
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Apparently Epstein was a real starstruck fan when it came

130
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: to comedians. But we'll ask him. He'll tell us what

131
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: it was like to meet Epstein or have these dinner

132
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: He would have these dinners with all these comedians. But

133
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: we'll get to that coming up on seven to ten

134
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: w R
