That 13 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: means the snow problem is officially over. Now. When the 14 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: snow was piled up everywhere and you couldn't there were 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: no parking spaces, they had to suspend that alternate side 16 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: of the street parking. I do whatever the hell that is. 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: You got to keep moving your car. But it's back. 18 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: They put it back in affect this morning, which means 19 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 2: officially the snow crisis is over. And yesterday's complaining about 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 2: all the garbage piled up on the street. Here it's 21 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: gone today. So things are moving along as far as 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: garbage and snow. The rest of the city total disaster 23 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: with Mom Donnie. We'll get to him in a moment. 24 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: The big breaking news this morning Prince Andrew was arrested 25 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: at eight am a British time, eight am, which would 26 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: have been the middle of the night here, But we 27 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: all woke up to find out that Prince Andrew had 28 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: been arrested. Now, King Charles, Prince William, they all say 29 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: they didn't know about it, they weren't told about it, 30 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: that this arrest was strictly the government doing this. Strictly 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: the government involved in the arrest of Prince Andrew. Now 32 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: it has to do with the Epstein files. But it's 33 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: not about sex, it's not about underage women. It's about 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: passing along state secrets. Now, a guy like Empstein trades 35 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: in a lot of stuff and one reason, you know, 36 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: you had all these billionaires and all these big business 37 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: guys and foreign leaders all hanging around him. In some 38 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: cases they enjoyed some of the women, but in many 39 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: of these cases they were around Epstein because he could 40 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: get them stuff information. And apparently Prince Andrew for many years, 41 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: you know, believe it or not, way back when the 42 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: Queen thought of Prince Andrew as her favorite son, not 43 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 2: Prince Charles. It was Prince Andrew that was her favorite son. 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: She thought so much of him that she kind of 45 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: forced the government to give him a big job, and 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: he was made the official trade envoy for Great Britain. 47 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: It's something a lot of people thought was kind of 48 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: a ceremonial thing, but you could make it into something serious. 49 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 2: You went around the world as the trade representative, as 50 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: the envoy to all the different countries, and if you 51 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: knew what you were doing, and apparently Prince an Andrew did, 52 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: you could pick up a lot of information, a lot 53 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: of insight intel about trade deals about foreign stuff. And 54 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: these are state secrets that when you come back there 55 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: belong to the government, their secrets. And I guess they've 56 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: looked through the emails and enough stuff that they've decided 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: that Prince Andrew was This was always the suspicion, but 58 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: they've decided he was passing stuff along to Jeffrey Epstein, 59 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: who was then passing it along to his clients, his 60 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: business clients, and it apparently he's in the email. So 61 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: they've got and they must have found enough hard evidence 62 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: digitally computer whatever they've decided. Andrew was not selling but 63 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: trading state secrets. It's a very serious crime. This is 64 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: a kind of crime where you could really go to prison, 65 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: and it's great Britain. Who knows they maybe they still 66 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: had hanging over there. I don't know, but it's a 67 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: very very serious thing. Andrew was arrested early this morning. 68 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: It's birthday. He was arrested on his birthday. He's the 69 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 2: first Royal family member to be arrested in four hundred years. 70 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: So it's a fascinating situation. He got the Prime Minister 71 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: who last night, in the middle of a speech in 72 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: the middle of nowhere, just in the speech, started talking 73 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: about how no one is above the law. Now, he 74 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: just threw that into the speech. Nobody thought anything of 75 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: it at the time, but he obviously knew that hours 76 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: later they were going to arrest Prince Andrew. So he 77 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: actually threw that into the speech about how no one 78 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: is above the law. He made a big deal out 79 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 2: of that, and I guess proved it this morning. And 80 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: you can always you've gotten the feeling that there's something 81 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: some bad blood between Prince Charles and Prince Andrew. Prince 82 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 2: Charles particularly cruel to him, taking away every title he had. 83 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: You could take away the prince, but he took away 84 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: every other title, every little title. He threw him out 85 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 2: of his house. He had to leave his castle, moved 86 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 2: to us castle. Can you imagine the humiliation of having 87 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 2: to move to a smaller castle. So he's under arrest. 88 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: You know, when it comes to this royal family, they're 89 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: like the biggest welfare case in the world. Nobody can 90 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: figure out what the hell these people do all day. 91 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: They get a fortune from the government for castles and 92 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: coaches and all those Buckingham Palace type guards and all 93 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: this pomp and circumstance. They're all multi zillionaires. The royal 94 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: family has billions of dollars and nobody knows what the 95 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 2: hell do they do all day? I mean, if you're 96 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: a member the royal family you want to call in sick, 97 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: who would you even call? Who would even miss you? 98 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: I mean basically all you do? What do they do? Actually, 99 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: I guess the biggest job they have is when there's 100 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: a big parade. They sit there in the stand and 101 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: they wave as the parade goes by reviewing a parade, 102 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: that's their big function in life. So I guess no 103 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: matter what you know, they say, Oh, the Queen was 104 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 2: still still working at ninety eight. You're just sitting there 105 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: watching a parade. How hard is that. Maybe you got 106 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: a wave. It's not that. As long as your arm 107 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: can move, you can be a member of the royal family. 108 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: So here's the other thing. Nancy Guthrie. Nancy Guthrie, Now 109 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: this is interesting. The DNA was not in the DNA base, 110 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 2: but you could still get stuff out of the DNA. 111 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 2: We have a database of twenty two million people who 112 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: DNA we have on file. It's mostly people that have 113 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: been arrested, criminals, maybe military, law enforcement, and sometimes people 114 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 2: that have used those what do you call those like 115 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 2: an ancestry dot com where you go check your DNA. Hey, 116 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: by the way, there's a bunch of those services where 117 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 2: you can send in your DNA and they can tell 118 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: you your whole ancestry. Send it to three different services, 119 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: you'll get three different answers. Don't rely on those too much. 120 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 3: But. 121 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: They still say, even though the DNA doesn't match anybody, 122 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 2: even though they don't get a name of somebody, that 123 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 2: there's things you can tell from the DNA. You can 124 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: get an idea of the race background, maybe coloring something 125 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: like that. There's stuff they can get out of the DNA. 126 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 2: Now here's the other thing they've been doing, and I 127 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: didn't A lot of people don't know that you can 128 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: do this. You know, if you're a criminal, they can 129 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: come grab your computers and all that and look and 130 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: see what you were doing on your computer. And I 131 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: guess you know that they could also go to Google 132 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: and get the record of your Google searches. You know 133 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: you're a criminal, they can go see what were you searching, 134 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: you know, and they'll say, oh, this guy was searching 135 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: how to make a bomb or you know, how to 136 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: do how to kidnap somebody. Well, then then they'd have 137 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 2: evidence against you. But there's such a thing as a 138 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: reverse Google search, so they can go to Google and 139 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: they can get a hold all the searches of everybody. 140 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: So they've apparently been doing that. Now the local police 141 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: are not going to be able to pull this off, 142 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: but the FBI is involved and they know how to 143 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 2: do this. So the FBI has been working with Google 144 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: for the last week or two checking reverse searches. So 145 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 2: they're looking to see who, if anyone who went on 146 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: Google and searched where does Nancy Guthrie live or what 147 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: is Nancy Guthrie's address, so they can see who's been 148 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: searching that. They can see, you know, who's been researching 149 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 2: that and then searching doing Google searches on Savannah Guthrie. 150 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 2: So let's say somebody was Google searching how much does 151 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie make? What's her net worth? Then they're searching 152 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: what is Nancy Guthrie's address, that kind of stuff, and 153 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: then you can see who's searched that. So if they, 154 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: you know, you may not realize, they can do a 155 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: reverse Google search and then they'll see what computer it 156 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 2: came from, and then they'll track down that computer. So 157 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: they're looking at the weeks and months leading up to 158 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: the kidnapping and to see who it is. Strange things 159 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 2: have come out, you know, Nancy Savannah Guthrie wrote a 160 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: book way back when biography and people have noticed it. 161 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 2: In the book, Savannah Guthrie said that as when she 162 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: was a little kid, her sisters and the family and 163 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 2: the aunt played a little game where they would kidnap 164 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: each other. Well, it's that eerie. They would kidnap each 165 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: other and then go to the ant's house or something 166 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: and then call their mother and say, we've been kidnapped. 167 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: Come get I mean, I've never have you ever heard 168 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: of anybody playing a game like that? Very strange. Now 169 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 2: that was in her book. Maybe that's why people started 170 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: suspecting family members of being involved. But the police have 171 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 2: said absolutely not, They don't think any They've cleared every 172 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: family member they believe. Hey, the State of the Union 173 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: addresses coming up on Tuesday. This Tuesday's a big State 174 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 2: of the Union address. Now this is an important thing 175 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: because it's the one time the whole nation watches President 176 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 2: Trump and he can start to explain all this stuff. 177 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 2: You know, Democrats have created this whole fake narrative that 178 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: the economy is bad, we're in an affordability crisis, when 179 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 2: in fact, inflation has come down dramatically, real wages are up, 180 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: economy is doing much better than before. You don't got 181 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: a waste to go, but it's been incredible improvement in 182 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: just the first year. So he can lay out all 183 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: the numbers and clear up that myth. So people will 184 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: for the first time here that even with ice, he 185 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 2: can explain what they've done. You know, people think they're 186 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: just going out in the street harassing people. But he 187 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: can start listing who they've arrested and just run down 188 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 2: how many dangerous criminals, how many rapists, how many robbers. 189 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 2: So it's a chance to get the facts out to 190 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: the nation. That's for President Trump. Now for the Democrats, 191 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: every time we have a State of the Union, it's 192 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 2: a chance for them to embarrass themselves again. Democrats have 193 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 2: this new tradition of totally embarrassing themselves at every State 194 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: of the Union. Remember the Nancy Pelosi ripping up the 195 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: speech just like a ridiculous tantrum, you know, childish tantrum. 196 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 2: Remember the Democrats booing. You remember when President Trump introduced the 197 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 2: poor kids suffering from cancer, and they refuse to applaud 198 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: for him. Remember he had the great hero and had 199 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: him take about the Democrats refuse to applaud. So they 200 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: always use every State of the Union as a chance 201 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 2: to completely embarrass themselves and turn off America. So they'll 202 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,599 Speaker 2: do it again this Tuesday night. Now here's one of 203 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: the things they're planning. Many of them are planning not 204 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: to go to the State of the Union and instead 205 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 2: have a State of the Union of their own State 206 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 2: of the Union. Rally. Let me see, it's called the 207 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 2: People's State of the Union. Multiple Democrats are planning to 208 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 2: do that. It'll be on the National Mall near the Capitol, 209 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 2: and the lefty media outlet midas Touch and progressive group 210 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: move on dot org are organizing this now. Hakeem Jeffries, 211 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: for instance, No, his plan is to attend the State 212 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 2: of the Union, said as a House leaders, he's got 213 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 2: to do. But many of these Democrats will be at 214 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 2: this alternate one. So President of the United States State 215 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 2: of the Union in the Great Da Hall and Congress 216 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: that has one look to it. And then you'll see 217 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 2: Democrats on the National Mall yelling and screaming and chanting. 218 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: Obviously they'll have the worst signs about Hitler and Nazi whatever. 219 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: So again, Democrats always use the State of the Union 220 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: to completely completely embarrass themselves. Hey, mom, Donnie threatening to 221 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 2: raise property tax ten percent, which is absolutely insane. Obviously 222 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 2: New York. If you live in New York City, property 223 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 2: tax is crazy. It's already insane, just awful if you 224 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: live in Long Island. It's always been bad. Good thing 225 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: for Bruce Blake when he's done everything he can to 226 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 2: fight that and take care of that. New Jersey it's 227 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 2: still pretty bad. Westchester, it's pretty bad. But New York 228 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 2: City property tax is absolutely ridiculous, So to raise it 229 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 2: ten percent is totally insane. You should be literally put 230 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: in in a looney bin for even suggesting it. Mom, Donnie, 231 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 2: who's never had a job, never manage anything comes into 232 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 2: Can you mention never had a job? Can you mentione 233 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 2: if you never had a job in your first job 234 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 2: was at a little company where you were in charge 235 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: of the budget and the book keeping, you wouln't even 236 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: know how to handle it. You imagine your first job 237 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 2: is handling the budget of New York City. Now, first 238 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: of all, the budget in New York City is ridiculous. 239 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: It's one hundred and twenty billion dollars a year. It 240 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 2: should be about twelve billion. Most cities, Chicago, cities like that, 241 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: the budget's about ten billion. So it happen to be 242 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty billion. That's more than most states. 243 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 2: That's more than the data Florida's budget one hundred and 244 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: twenty billion. It should be actually should be cut by 245 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: about seventy five percent. But let's say you just cut 246 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: it in half. It's all waste, fraud, bloat. You could 247 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 2: easily cut it in half and cut the taxes in half, 248 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: but it's one hundred and twenty billion. He wants to 249 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 2: increase it, put more property TAXI What. 250 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 4: We put forward was what we characterized as actions of 251 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 4: last resort. I described them as last resort because we 252 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 4: have a broken property tax system in the city. What 253 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 4: we are hoping for, what we will spend every day 254 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 4: looking towards, is working with Albany to increase taxes on 255 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 4: the wealthiest and the most profitable corporations such that a 256 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 4: fiscal crisis is not resolved on the backs of working 257 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 4: in middle class New York. 258 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 2: Christ Kah Hell is he talking about first? He says, 259 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: So it be last resort, last resort. You've been in 260 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: office two weeks. Two weeks. He already at your last resort. 261 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: That should be happening in the two years. Our property 262 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: tax system is broken. Yeah, because it's way too high. 263 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 2: So he wants to increase it. Every expert analyzing this 264 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: says he's completely insane. 265 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 5: Mandane's actually been mayor for forty nine days. I find 266 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 5: it amusing that he refers to this as his last 267 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 5: resort option. We've literally been in office. You know, the 268 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 5: snow's been on the ground the entire time that he's 269 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 5: been in office, and he wants to already raise New 270 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 5: Yorker's taxes. Look, this is this is catastrophic because we 271 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 5: already pay the high New York has already pay the 272 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 5: highest among the highest taxes in the country in New 273 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 5: York City, which of course has an additional tax in 274 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 5: addition to state income tax. Is excruciating the high tax. 275 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 2: Okay, he said what I said, but it sounds better 276 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: when he says it. You have a BITI sh accent 277 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 2: and you speak, you sound like a genius. Sounds much 278 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: better coming from him. 279 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 5: Properly, prices are very high in New York. So the 280 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 5: plan he has will hit not just the rich, as 281 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 5: they keep claiming, but huge numbers of middle class taxpayers. 282 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 5: So yeah, this is socialism and action. This is the 283 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 5: Democratic Party in action. If think the rest of the 284 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 5: country is watching now. 285 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 2: When you raise property tax, rents go up because somebody 286 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: owns your building and the property tax goes up ten percent, 287 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: that person now has to increase your rent by ten 288 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: percent to cover the new property tax. So he's gonna 289 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: if you have an increase in property tax. You're raising 290 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 2: the rent on everybody, middle class, lower class, everybody, everybody. 291 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 2: Now here's the good news. As I've been telling you, 292 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: we got for the first time in a lot of years, 293 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: a city council president who's normal, common sense. She's a Democrat, 294 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: but a common sense, old fashioned, normal democrat. She is. 295 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 2: It would actually be the city council that have to 296 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 2: raise the property taxes. She says she will not do it. 297 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 6: The governor has made clear that she is not raising taxes. 298 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 6: So with that said, we think we need to really 299 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 6: focus on saving. We cannot be raising property taxes on 300 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,239 Speaker 6: the backs of small property owners, on the backs of renchers, 301 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 6: on the back of small businesses. That will worsen the 302 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 6: affordability crisis. So that is clearly off the table for us. 303 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: Hey, you go off the table. So hey, you know 304 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 2: Kevin O'Leary, Shark Tank, mister wonderful. They had him on 305 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 2: CNN with all these lefties yelling and screaming about how 306 00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: you have to tax the rich and have more proper 307 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: tax there on. So listen to Kevin O'Leary. He was 308 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: in the middle of this. They said, do you have 309 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: any final words? He said, yes, you're all nuts. So 310 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 2: they were all young the but here he is a 311 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,479 Speaker 2: later yesterday on the subject of Mam Donnie. 312 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 7: This is bat poopoo crazy what he is proposing.

But when Mom Danny was running, the first 399 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 8: thing I said was that this was going to be 400 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 8: a total disaster. 401 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 2: Really, everybody thought he was going to be wonderful. You 402 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 2: thought you knew he'd be bad. Huh. 403 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 8: And I'll make another prediction along the line that Curtis 404 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 8: made about Adams. I believe he's gonna have to be 405 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 8: removed from office. I don't think he's gonna be able 406 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 8: to fity till four your term. 407 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 2: Well, you know that's a good point, that's an excellent point. 408 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 2: You know, the governor has the power to remove him. 409 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 2: Hochel is such a coward and so busy catering to 410 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: the left. But very very very good chance Bruce Blakeman 411 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 2: will be the governor a year from now, and as 412 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 2: governor he can remove Mom. Donnie. You know, if the 413 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: actually Bruce Blakeman will be with us tomorrow, maybe lasking me. 414 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 2: There's all kinds of complicated law about New York. If 415 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 2: the budget goes crazy. If New York goes into total 416 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 2: fiscal disaster, the governor can step in and take control 417 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 2: of our budget, and he'll do what he did in 418 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 2: Long Island, which is cut costs, get rid of the waist, 419 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 2: the fraud, the bloats, straighten everything out.

I mean, I think, you know, 440 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 9: I think the underlying story, what we're gonna hear more 441 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 9: and more or maybe come out from the Jeffrey Epstein 442 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 9: revelations is that the guy was a master blackmailer and he, 443 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 9: you know, got people like Prince Andrew and who knows 444 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 9: who else into compromising situations and then took advantage of that. 445 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 9: You know that we've not really ever heard the explanation 446 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 9: for Leon Black paying him tens of millions of dollars. 447 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 9: I'm sure there are other people who are going to 448 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 9: be implicated in the same way. But what a horrible 449 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,479 Speaker 9: thing for the Royal family. 450 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I must. 451 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 9: Say, you know, they've had their share of pretty tough 452 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 9: hits in the last couple of years, with Kate Middleton 453 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 9: having cancer and Charles having cancer, and now this is 454 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 9: supreme embarrassment. 455 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 3: You know, I have to. 456 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: Say, my heart goes out to the family. 457 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: I got to disagree, a little le Royal family.

And yeah, now they're talking about 490 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 2: having their own State of the Union somewhere else.

They have no policies they want to talk about. 498 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 9: All they do is hate Trump and then sort of 499 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 9: showcase that hatred with endless still a buster speeches, et cetera, 500 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 9: et cetera. And that course, here's the newest one, which 501 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 9: is a state of the Union for the people. Okay, Well, 502 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 9: their biggest complaint about Donald Trump is as a populist. 503 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 3: What does that mean? 504 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 9: Mark, That means he's of the people, right, So, when 505 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 9: you have a president elected by a majority of voters, 506 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 9: this is no longer a fringe candidate. This is no 507 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 9: longer someone who doesn't represent the will of the people. 508 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 9: He clearly does. And so I think for that, you know, look, 509 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 9: I think the Republicans have lost some important contests recently, 510 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 9: some elections have gone the wrong way. Obviously, the country 511 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 9: in the midterms, as usual, is ready to sort of 512 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 9: voice some discontent with what's going on. But the reality is, 513 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 9: this guy, Donald Trump is getting stuff done. He is 514 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 9: fixing what's broken in the government. A lot of people 515 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 9: are applauding that. So I think just your case on 516 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 9: how vile the president is is pretty weak gruel, and 517 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 9: I just cannot imagine that in the midterms people are 518 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 9: going to turn out step. The risk to the GOP 519 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 9: is that Trump voters just are not reliable voters. But 520 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 9: then a lot of the Democratic Coalition isn't reliable either. 521 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 9: Young people don't always vote in the midterms, and minorities 522 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 9: don't always vote in the midterms, so we'll see what happens. 523 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 9: But the more that they embarrass themselves by acting out 524 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 9: by the way, Hakim Jeffries, the minority leader, has asked 525 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 9: Democrats not to do this because I think he's aware 526 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 9: that it just embarrasses them. 527 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, the President's done a great job foreign policy economies, 528 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 2: but Democrats create this fake narrative, this affordability crisis. So 529 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: isn't this a big opportunity for him to just the 530 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,959 Speaker 2: whole public will be watching and he can lay out 531 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 2: the actual facts and inflation way, Yes, So won't that 532 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 2: change everything? 533 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 9: Well, I don't know if it'll change everything, because of 534 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 9: course you'll have commentators immediately fact checking everything he says. 535 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 9: But if he sticks to the facts, mark, yes, if 536 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 9: he claims growth, we're you know, if he claims that 537 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 9: we're striving for fifteen percent growth. 538 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: No, that's not going to work. 539 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 9: But we don't need to make up exaggerated numbers. We 540 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 9: don't need to talk about stuff that's not real because 541 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 9: the story right now is extremely persuasive. And I must say, 542 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 9: the Fed minutes are just really sort of make my 543 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 9: head hurt. Because Bloomberg did a piece this morning on 544 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 9: the FED notes that were made public yesterday, and it's like, well, 545 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 9: they may have to raise rates because of inflation, you know, 546 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 9: not being where they wanted to be. Inflation numbers just 547 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 9: recently were extremely good, very beneficial, two point four percent. 548 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 9: It is coming down. A lot of people think that 549 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 9: actual inflation right now is closer to one if you 550 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 9: stop measuring rent and household expenditures in a sort of 551 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 9: mixed up way. It's the numbers on inflation are actually 552 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 9: pretty good. Are they good enough? Maybe not, but you're 553 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 9: not You're certainly not about to embark on a rate 554 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 9: hiking cycle. But I mean, it's such a typical Bloomberg 555 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 9: or MSNBC or whatever description. Just make it sound as 556 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 9: bad as it possibly can be. So to your point, 557 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 9: Donald Trump has an opportunity on Tuesday night to talk 558 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 9: to the American people about what's happening in our economy. 559 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 9: We have an investment boom. Housing starts are up. Affordability 560 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 9: on housing, by the way, is getting better because mortgage 561 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 9: rates have come down. I mean, there is a whole 562 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 9: slew of positive developments that have come out just even 563 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 9: in the. 564 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 2: Last few weeks. 565 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 9: And here's another thing I talked about this on area yesterday, 566 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 9: a couple of times aoc An inner terrible appearance in Munich, 567 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 9: and then the explanation afterwards talks about the central thing 568 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 9: that Democrats want to impress upon the American people, the 569 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 9: fact that income inequality is so terrible and the richer 570 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 9: getting richer and blah blah blah, it is not true. 571 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 9: The Economist, a very left wing magazine, devoted an entire 572 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 9: cover story this week to the fact that actually, because 573 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 9: of progressive taxes such as we have here in the 574 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 9: United States, income inequality has been going down, not only 575 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 9: in the US but also in Europe. So their whole 576 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 9: narrative is wrong. It's wrong. They're wrong on marijuana, they're 577 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 9: wrong on gender surgeries, and they're wrong on economic inequality, 578 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 9: and you know, they'll never admit it, but the truth 579 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 9: is they're wrong. And so, you know, I think that 580 00:31:54,720 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 9: bleeds into reasonable and wise critiques of people like mom Donnie, 581 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 9: who's trying to force all this tax hikes and stuff 582 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 9: down the ridge because of income inequality, wealth and equality 583 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 9: and stuff, and people rightly are putting back, pushing back 584 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 9: and saying, hey, you're going to kill your own city. 585 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,479 Speaker 9: So it's stupid but b your narrative is just false. 586 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 587 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 2: Well, Liz Peak brilliant as always.
