Where to even 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 2: start Christy Nome. Hey, if you were listening yesterday at 14 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 2: this time, at exactly this time, remember I started telling 15 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: you Christy Nome would be fired later in the Sure 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: enough she was, and we told you that it'd be 17 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: Mark Wayne Mullen as probably the replacement, And it is Christinome. 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: They were keeping an eye on her anyway, and there 19 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 2: were a lot of people in the administration pushing for 20 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: her to be gone. They didn't like the way she 21 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 2: was running the department, a number of things, a lot 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 2: of ridiculous spending on big, enormous private jets to fly 23 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: her and her you fill in the blank, Corey Lewandowski around. 24 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: Everybody seemed to know they were having some kind of affair. Now, 25 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 2: he does work in the department, So if you're the 26 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: head of the department and it's a subordinate, you're not 27 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: supposed to be sleeping with them. This is not the 28 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 2: good old Don Draper days. You can't do this stuff anymore. 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: So there were a lot of things that also Minnesota, Minneapolis, 30 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: she just riled up that situation to ridiculous levels. You 31 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: remember when Homan got there and was able to calm 32 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: things down quickly. That showed how bad the management of 33 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: it was by Christinome. They didn't like when she called 34 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: the the woman what was the name, Renee good here, 35 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: the protester who has killed a domestic terrorist. I mean, 36 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: that was just over the top. And then remember she 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: originally said the protester was brandishing a weapon. Well they 38 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: weren't brandishing a weapon. So uh, sloppy, sloppy when it 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 2: comes to management a mess. Then she goes to these 40 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 2: hearings where she got torn apart first for this Corey Lewandowski. Now, 41 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 2: I think everybody kind of knew they were sleeping together, 42 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: and everybody and they didn't weren't good at keeping this 43 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: too secret. I mean you'd see them out carousing late 44 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: at night, getting drunk together. I mean they were. So 45 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: the hearings are taking place and they're asking about all 46 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: sorts of serious issues, and then the Corey Lewandowski stuff 47 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: comes up, and she can't answer it. She can't say 48 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 2: under oath, no, we're not having an affair, because it's 49 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: not true. If you didn't, you know, they need a 50 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: perjury problem, especially if the Democrats get back in power. 51 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: So she was asked about it, she would all offended. 52 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: Of course, Have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski, 53 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: mister Sherman, I am shocked that we're going down and 54 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 3: peddling tabloid garbage in this committee today. 55 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, let's be honest. If you weren't the secretary, 56 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: and if he didn't work there, and neither of you 57 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: were married and you didn't work together, who the hell 58 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 2: do one who admit they were having sexual relations with 59 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 2: Corey Lewindowski. It doesn't sound good to begin with, but 60 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: under oath and she is his boss. It's not good. 61 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 2: So she was. They kept asking her over and over again. 62 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 4: I want to give you an opportunity to answer on 63 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 4: the record to Miss camlager Dove's question. I know you 64 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 4: said it's garbage, and it may be, but I really 65 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: think you need to say the word no into the 66 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 4: record so that you can clear that up. 67 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: I think the ridiculousness of this and the tabloids that 68 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: you are quoting and referencing are insane. And this has 69 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: been the thing that I've refuted is that hours and 70 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: I continue to do that. So to I would tell you. 71 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: Is we move on. We can move on. 72 00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 4: I'm not going to belabor it. 73 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: This is what you do. Hold on. 74 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: I'm not doing anything. 75 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 5: Yea. 76 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: She couldn't say no, so that was problem number one. 77 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: But the big problem was, and this is really the 78 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: final straw that got her fired, with the spending two 79 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty million of taxpayer money two hundred and 80 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: twenty million on an ad campaign that supposedly was to 81 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: stop border crossing to it was supposedly to stop that, 82 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: and it was supposedly to tell illegals to self deport. 83 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 2: They've had some success with getting illegals to self deport 84 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 2: and then come back legally. So that was what she claimed. 85 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: The purpose was twred. No, here's the real problem. And 86 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: the President Trump knew this, The White House knew this. 87 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: She's running for president in twenty twenty eight. Okay, that's okay. 88 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: I don't think she has any chance. But everybody's running 89 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: for president in twenty twenty eight. It's the three quarters 90 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: of the cabinet want to do that. So she was 91 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,799 Speaker 2: using this campaign, this ad campaign, and the two hundred 92 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: and twenty million of our money to run for president. Now, 93 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: if you're really trying to run ads to get these 94 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: illegals to self deport, you wouldn't be running them on Hannity. 95 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: I don't think a lot of illegal aliens are watching Hannity. 96 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: It's a great show, and it's the biggest show in 97 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: cable news, been number one for decades. But that's not 98 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: where you'd run the ads. On Univision. You'd find ways 99 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 2: to target to get it seen by illegals. Many of 100 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: them aren't even speaking English, so you could tell from it. 101 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: Why would you run the ads on the number one 102 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: show Hannity because you're running for president and the ads 103 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: all feature her all made up and glamorous, riding a horse, 104 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 2: beautiful scenery in the background. If you're trying to get 105 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 2: people to leave, why would you put all this beautiful 106 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: scenery in the background. So clearly there were campaign ads 107 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: for her two hundred and twenty million of taxpayer money. 108 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: Another thing about President Trump being a businessman and billionaire. 109 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 2: Businessmen are great at watching every penny. They're really good 110 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: at it. They know what things should cost, and even 111 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: out there in the campaign trail, the president would look 112 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 2: over every number and say to people, why are we 113 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: paying this much for this? Can't we pay less for that? 114 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: And it's not being cheap, it's just being a good businessman. 115 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: So when he found out about this two hundred and 116 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 2: twenty million that she spent, he actually said to somebody. 117 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 2: This was in private, but he said, who in twenty million? 118 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: I didn't spend that much on a presidential campaign. So 119 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 2: he was really mad about that. And the thing that 120 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 2: did her in the final straw in the hearing when 121 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: she was asked, did you get this approved? And he said, well, yeah, 122 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: ask the President wanted me to get the messaging out there. Yeah, 123 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: but do you approve this particular campaign. She said, yes, 124 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: well that's a lie, and that really did it for him, 125 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: and she was fired here. This was Senator Kennedy in 126 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: the hearing school. 127 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 6: It troubles me quarter a fifth to a quarter of 128 00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 6: a billion dollars taxpayer money when we're scratching for every 129 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 6: penny and we're fighting over recision packages. I just can't 130 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 6: agree with Madam Sure Kerry, you still running those ends, Senator. 131 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 3: I did not have anything to do with picking those contractors. 132 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 3: I know politicals at the Department of Homeland Security understand 133 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: their officials followed the competitive bid process everything. I think 134 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 3: the ads are due to end here in March. I 135 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 3: think within a week. 136 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 6: I'm not sure. 137 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: The one that is running is focusing on angel families. 138 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 7: Have you seen that? 139 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: Nobody was buying any of that, so she's going. You know, 140 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: the President very careful not to fire anybody. He's not 141 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: a guy that likes to fire people. I know, I'm 142 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: the apprentice, you're fired, you're fired, you've been in real life. 143 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: He doesn't do that. If you went over to the 144 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: Trump organization, just about everybody there's been there twenty thirty years. 145 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 2: So he's not big on firing people. But there comes 146 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: a time where you got to fire somebody, and he 147 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: did it with her. Now a lot of people are 148 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: saying who's next, because once you get that first one 149 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 2: out of the way, the next couple come easier. Well, 150 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: the betting odds are if anybody's next, and not right away, 151 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: but at some point, if anybody's next, cash Ptel third 152 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: place would be Pam Bondy, but that's probably probably down 153 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: the road. So she's gone. Mark Wayne Mullen will take over. 154 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: And now the reason they've had chosen him. There are 155 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: a lot of reasons, but one is the obviously the 156 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: Senate will not confirm anybody for Trump. They're going to 157 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: give him a hard time about everything. They're going to 158 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: use the hearings to grandstand, attack Trump and all of that. 159 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: So they knew they had to pick a senator because 160 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: he's one of the club there. They won't be as 161 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: rough on one of their own. And one reason for 162 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 2: Mark Wayne Mullen, he's a very very very friendly, good 163 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 2: charming guy. At work. He makes friends with everybody, Democrats, Republicans. 164 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: He goes to lunch with the Democrats, works out in 165 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: the gym with them. He's very very close to everybody, 166 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 2: so he's got a good shot at getting through the hearings. 167 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: That's why he was always the one in mind.

Mark Wayne Mullen, who was before beating the Senator, 176 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: he was in the House, so he knows everybody in Congress. 177 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 2: They'll probably have an easy time sailing through. Mark Wayne 178 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 2: Mullen was you I't forget. He was an MMA fighter, 179 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: undefeated MMA fighter and from Oklahoma. So he'll do a 180 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 2: great job. They'll straighten it all out. Hey, let's just 181 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 2: get to the war for a second. It's day seven update. 182 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: We have now eliminated ninety percent. It was eighty three 183 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 2: percent last night, so now ninety percent. We've taken out 184 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: ninety percent of Iran's offensive capability. They've only got ten 185 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: percent of the offense left. Missiles, drones, very very few left. 186 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 2: It's going very well, we're only this is only in 187 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: day seven. To get ninety percent of their capability gone 188 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: in seven days is miraculous. Hey, let me just clear 189 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: up one thing. You're gonna hear this all the time 190 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 2: from the Democrats. This is an illegal war. Even Mamdani, 191 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: even crazy kooky Mamdani, the war is illegal, it's unconstitutional. 192 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 2: There's absolutely no truth to that. The president is in 193 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: total compliance with the War Powers Resolution, absolute total compliance. 194 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 2: There is nothing illegal about this. There's nothing unconstitutional about this. 195 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: They can yell and scream. Hey, by the way, the 196 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: fake news, you know, whenever the president, whenever they play 197 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 2: a clip of the president, they start fact checking them 198 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: like crazy. But how often are the fake news do 199 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 2: you see some Democrat yell it's illegal war, unconstitutional war, 200 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: and they don't fact check. They never come on and say, actually, 201 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 2: there's no violation of the War Powers Resolution because here 202 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 2: it is right here. It was done in nineteen seventy three. 203 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: By the way, we don't declare war when we go 204 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: to war with Congress, we don't deal. The last time 205 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 2: that was done was World War II. There've been about 206 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: seventy five wars since then. Nobody's ever declared war. But 207 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 2: just because after Vietnam they wanted to do this, they 208 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 2: passed the War Powers Resolution Act of limiting the president's power. 209 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: Here it is, the President is in total compliance with it. 210 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 2: Under the War Powers Resolution, the president can deploy forces. 211 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: He has authorization to do it in the first sixty days. 212 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: He's got sixty days that he can do this. We're 213 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: only in day seven. He's got fifty three more days 214 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 2: to go. Now, what happens when you get to day 215 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 2: sixty under the resolution, he has thirty days to withdraw, 216 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 2: so it's really ninety days. So he actually has eighty 217 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: three more days to go before he has to go 218 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 2: to Congress. Now he should notify Congress, which he did. 219 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: He obviously did notify them. He has briefed Congress on 220 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: all of this. So he's absolutely in compliance War Powers Act. 221 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 2: No problem at all. President's schedule goes to Miami later tonight. 222 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: But there's a big meeting today in the White House 223 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 2: about college sports. A lot of the big sports Nick Saban, 224 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: Tiger Woods, I think Randy Levine is going to that big, 225 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 2: big White House meeting. They're going to discuss fixing college sports. 226 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: It's an absolute mess. Money got in there and just 227 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 2: screwed up everything. He got players. He got college players 228 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: making more than NFL players now and they're changing schools 229 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: to get better deals, better money. So something's got to 230 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: be done to clean it up. Now, this will be 231 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: open to the press. It's going to be a round table. 232 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 2: They're allowing the press in to watch this. It'll probably 233 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: be televised later to day. It'll be pretty interesting if 234 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: you if you want to see what's going on the 235 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 2: big mess of college sports. Hey, Kamala Harris getting a 236 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: lot of flak from Democrats. You know, Jasmine Crockett lost 237 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: her primary race and it was Kamala that went down 238 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 2: and endorsed her. It was Kamala couldn't I couldn't have 239 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 2: done more, endorsing her everything she could do, and it 240 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 2: didn't help one bit. So besides the fact she's a 241 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: babbling yo yo, they're now starting to realize she's got 242 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: no coattails. She can't move the needle for anybody. So 243 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: that destroys her chances of being the nominee even more, 244 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: not that she had much chance to begin with. Let's see, Oh, 245 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: the Jesse Jackson funeral today, Yeah, that's gonna be interesting. 246 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 2: The funeral today would be a big thing.

President Trump will 248 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: be there, but Bush, Clinton, Obama will all be there. 249 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 2: I think Kamala Harris will be there. Probably get a 250 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: couple other vice presidents. Joe Biden, I don't think he 251 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: knows about it.

Long 360 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 11: story short. After my divorce, I fell behind and taxed 361 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 11: the infinents a payment plan with the I R S. 362 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 11: I checked my balance about four and a half years later, 363 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 11: and not one dollar was applied to reduce my principle. 364 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 2: Well, how much interest? You know, that's one thing that 365 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 2: I RASD. They put a ton of interest on it. 366 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 11: But even still it should go every payment a portion 367 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 11: should go to interest. 368 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 2: Abortion I don't know, you got to pay off that 369 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: interest first, I think how far how how far behind it. 370 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 11: It was in the you know, five figures. But even 371 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 11: with that and the interest amount I should have had, 372 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 11: I should have paid the interest of you know, about 373 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 11: a year and a half or two years in. 374 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 2: So when you had this problem, you get yourself a 375 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 2: good accountant or a lawyer or something to negotiate with 376 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 2: the I R S. Well, yeah, I reached. 377 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 11: Out to one of the tax companies that advised, and yeah, 378 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 11: they actually worked with me. And I've been the process 379 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 11: of solving this. But to me, I mean, any loan 380 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 11: you pay down principle and it should have clearly broken the. 381 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 2: Interesting It depends how depends how you negotiated you got 382 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: to get one of those who's that sponsor we had 383 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 2: for years that helps you with the I R s 384 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 2: they going and negotiate for you. You need one of 385 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 2: those kind of companies. 386 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 11: Yeah, I did, and they said they called this to 387 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 11: pay forever plan. The IRS keeps you on. They do 388 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 11: it on purpose, so I just think they're playing games. 389 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 11: And again the interest would have been paid often about 390 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 11: a year and a half. 391 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 2: After two years, well, good luck with it. We hope 392 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 2: you straightened up. But I would get a better lawyer 393 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 2: or something, one of my doctor Meltzer. I can't tell 394 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: you what to do with the IRS anyway. We normally 395 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 2: we get the best callers, the most interesting, upscale, fine, fun, 396 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 2: happy callers. I don't know today everybody's got a problem. 397 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 2: Everybody's miserable, everybody's hey. When we come back, we'll take 398 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 2: a look at the jobs numbers. We're supposed to be good. 399 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 2: Everybody thought it'd be a great jobs reported with you 400 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 2: to add fifty thousand jobs. I think it was down 401 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: ninety thousand. It didn't look good at all. And to 402 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 2: make matters even worse, the good numbers from previous month, 403 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 2: they just revised those down. So what the hell is 404 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: going on. We'll talk to the best guy you could 405 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 2: talk to on this subject, John Carney, Breitbart Business Digest. 406 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 2: This is the best business writer right now and nobody 407 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: better at analyzing this stuff.

John Carney, how you doing. 423 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me Mark, and yeah, thanks for reading 424 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: Business Digest. 425 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 2: Well, thanks for doing it. It's great stuff. Now the 426 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 2: jobs numbers today was supposed to be up fifty thousand. 427 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 2: It's way down and they even revised down preview report. 428 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 2: What happened. 429 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a very bad jobs report. There's probably 430 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: a few non economic factors going on. Remember how harsh 431 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: February was weatherwise, and we had days where like you 432 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: know with blizzards in New York, there was days where 433 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 1: it was zero degrees less than zero degrees. You're not 434 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,239 Speaker 1: hiring and you're not looking for a job in that 435 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: kind of weather. So that was probably contributed to part 436 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: of it. But look, the forecasts were supposedly taking that 437 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: into account. It's not like the people who said we 438 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: were going to get fifty thousand jobs didn't know it 439 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: was cold in February. 440 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 5: So this is a lot worse. 441 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: There was also has our health had a big strike 442 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: the Department of Labor, so that took out a lot 443 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: of the healthcare jobs. But this is a weak number 444 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: of it is probably AI driven. We saw business and 445 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: professional services and information those are two areas very exposed 446 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: to you know, people losing their jobs to AI. Those 447 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: both contracted. I think if you take a three month average, 448 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: so we added a lot of jobs in January. 449 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 5: But December got revised. 450 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: Down to a from a gain of forty eight thousand 451 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: to a loss. So we are that took out a 452 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: lot of jobs. We are averaging only about six thousand 453 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: jobs a month over the last three months, and if 454 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: you take the six month average, we've lost one thousand 455 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: jobs a month. That's a pretty weak labor market. The 456 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve should look at that and say, you know, 457 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: there's some cause for concern here. We should be prepared 458 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: to cut rates if we need to. However, they're also 459 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: going to see stuff like oil prices rise very rapidly 460 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: and get nervous that that could lead to uh, lead 461 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: people to expect more inflation and therefore push inflation up. 462 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, but overall the economy is healthy. So yes, you 463 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 2: must be very surprised. 464 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: Absolutely, the economy is growing very quickly. 465 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 2: We are. 466 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: Productivity has been you know, a huge winner, and that 467 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: actually may be part of the story here. We're the 468 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: output per our work of us workers has been rising 469 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: at a very rapid level. One of the things that 470 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: means is that businesses actually don't need to hire many 471 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: people because when you can get you know, three or 472 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: four percent more out of your worker than you were, 473 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: you know, a year ago. Then you you're hiring, needs 474 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: just don't go up as much. It's actually probably both 475 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: because unemployment is very low, and we and we're a 476 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: lot of people are retiring, and we're deporting a lot 477 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: of the low wage workers who were here illegally. Businesses 478 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: are actually trying to figure out how to do more 479 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: with fewer people. And so although you know, yes, I'm 480 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: not going to try to say that ninety two thousand 481 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: jobs is not a bad number, but I will say 482 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: it's not as bad as it looks, in part. 483 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 5: Because businesses are finding ways. 484 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: To grow without trying to hire people, and unemployment is 485 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: very low. Four point four percent is a very low number. 486 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: So even though we're not hiring people, there's not a 487 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: lot of people without jobs right now. 488 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 2: Hey, why are they revising earlier reports. I thought we 489 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 2: fixed that problem. 490 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,479 Speaker 1: We'll never fix that problem, and it's going to stay 491 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: a problem. One of the things that's happened in recent 492 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: years is actually the initial respect spons free so you. 493 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 5: Know, they do these things. 494 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: It's actually very strange, you know that we still do 495 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: it this way, but it's basically they send out surveys 496 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: to businesses and say how many people work for you? 497 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: And the response rate from those surveys has gone way down, 498 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: at least the initial response rate. So businesses are taking 499 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: longer to report to the government they're payrolls. That means 500 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: that they get in later data, which means they have 501 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: to revise the prior numbers, and you get these wild 502 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: revisions and springs. The good news is the January number. 503 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 5: Which was really good, actually wasn't revised very much. 504 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: It came in at one hundred and thirty thousand. That was, 505 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: you know, the mind blowing January hiring spree. We saw 506 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: that got revised down to one hundred and twenty six thousand, 507 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: so still really really good numbers. The bad news is 508 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: maybe that gets revised again. But it also you know, 509 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: warned this one, this ninety two thousand, that could get revised, 510 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: and they don't just get revised down, they get revised up. 511 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: So this number might not be as bad, or maybe 512 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: it's much worse. I hate to like say you can't 513 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: rely on the numbers, but that's the way it is. 514 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: Why are we sending out surveys. It's twenty twenty six. 515 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 2: Why can't you digitally see exactly who's working. 516 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: Where you know you can, and there are people who 517 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: are trying to do that better. Look, I'll tell you 518 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: like a lot of the big banks they get a 519 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: lot of payroll data themselves because they have both. 520 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 5: You know, they're the banks for the businesses, so. 521 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 1: They and they and they're the banks for the people. 522 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: They look at their own internal data. You have ADP, 523 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: they put out their own reports. They're a big payroll 524 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: process or the government could probably update it from what 525 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: I understand, Actually some of the surveys are actually still 526 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: received by facts so literally, you know, like you have 527 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: a fact come in and people are reading it. That 528 00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: sounds ridiculous. 529 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 9: It is. 530 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: I guess it's better than people having to mail them in, 531 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: but it is still it's not being done very efficiently. 532 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 2: Right wow, Hey John Carney, right, bart business dies. If 533 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 2: you watch the fake news, all you hear about is 534 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 2: oil prices, gas prices. It's good. Obviously it's a spike 535 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 2: due to the war. But correct, it's just a spike. 536 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: They will come down. Won't take these prices. 537 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, they will come down. The real question and the 538 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: real question is how long they stay elevated. If oil 539 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: prices go up? Right now, they're going up a lot. 540 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: This morning, I saw brent krude, which is like the 541 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: international standard, was up above ninety one dollars a barrel. 542 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: That's a lot. It's less than what we saw back 543 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. I mean, we saw oil get 544 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: up to one hundred and fifty dollars a barrel under 545 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: Biden was and that's what led to gas prices going 546 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: sky high. We will see gas prices go up even 547 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: from a short term oil spike, but it really doesn't 548 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: start to weigh on the to me unless it stays 549 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: up there. So as long as the Trump administration in 550 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: the US military can get that golf that straight of 551 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: her moves open so that Persian golf oil can come through, 552 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: which is about twenty percent of the world's oil supply. 553 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: As long as that reopens, we'll see this come down. 554 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: It's probably it's almost certainly not going to be a 555 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: permanent increase in the price of oil. It should come down, 556 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: but it's not clear right right now. Donald Trump says 557 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: he wants to keep going until he gets an unconditional 558 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: surrender from Iran. Iran still has missiles that they can 559 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,959 Speaker 1: launch tankers, but straight that try to get through this 560 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: bottleneck between the Persian golf and the rest of the world. 561 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: So you know, it could last a while right now. 562 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 5: I think one of the reasons the prices are up so. 563 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: Much today is because people are worried that maybe the 564 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: conflict doesn't get resolved quickly. 565 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, hey what about Wall Street? They I mean, you 566 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 2: fire one shot in the panic? What is this panic? 567 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 2: It waste? 568 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, look, we've seen this, I think for a year. 569 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: Every time something bad happens, Wall Street panics. Right, So 570 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: if Trump announces tariffs that are higher than they expected, 571 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: you get this sell off. The people who really make 572 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: money on Wall Street these days are the people who 573 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: buy into the selloffs because they reverse. You know, if 574 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: you've timed it back to the to that Trump to 575 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: the Trump Liberation Day tariff announcement, stocks are up close 576 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: to thirty percent of that. 577 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 5: So you know, the smart guys. 578 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: Made a lot of money by buying into the panics. 579 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: And we'll probably see that again. People. You know, the 580 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: Dow goes down, people smart money will come in and 581 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: buy that said, like, look, the stocks aren't even down 582 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: that much. I would have thought with oil up at 583 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: you know, above ninety dollars, that we've seen even bigger panic. 584 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: I think people are figuring out that this is probably 585 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: not going to be an economic catastrophe, even with these 586 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: bad jobs numbers. Again, that could change, though, if it 587 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: does seem like we're going to be in a long, 588 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: drun out war, or that Iran's offensive capabilities in the 589 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: Persian Gulf are stronger than people thought. 590 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 2: Wow.
