1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the Mark Simon shall On sevent ten 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: wo R. Well, we'll get to all the trouble spots 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: around the world, Iran Venezuela, Minnesota, Greenland and the Giants 4 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: and Verizon and a whole lot more coming up. So 5 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: here's the latest. In Minnesota. You got this crazy left 6 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: wing kook of a mayor, you got this crazy imbecile 7 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: of governor Tim Waltz. You've got no leadership in this state. 8 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 1: It's all chaos. There's another big incident last night. Now, 9 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: apparently ICE tried to pull over an illegal and they 10 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: pulled him over, but he fled. It was a car chase, 11 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: then they fled on foot. He went into his house. 12 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: The ICE agents went into the house after him. And 13 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: by the way, this everybody seemed to agree on all 14 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: these details. It's not in dispute. But in there, the 15 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: illegal picked up a big shovel and was about to 16 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: attack the ICE agent with a big shovel, and to 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: defend himself, the ICE agent fired a shot, hitting the 18 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: illegal in the leg. So, now, if you're in Minnesota 19 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: or actually probably pretty much anywhere, the fake news reported 20 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: it as ICE agents shoot an immigrant in the foot 21 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: in the leg ice agents shoot an immigrant in the 22 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: leg First of all, it wasn't an immigrant, it was 23 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: in illegal and they left out all the details about 24 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: why they fired. And then all hell broke loose in 25 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: the Minneapolis with all sorts of stuff going on. And 26 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: then you got this idiotic mayor who's now of course 27 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: I can call him idiotic, but from his point of view, 28 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: it makes sense what he's doing. He wants to be 29 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: the leader of this wacko, crazy modern day democratic movement. 30 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: He wants to rise up in fame and power within 31 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: the party. And when something like this happens, and you're 32 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: all over television, You're on the network news, you're everywhere. 33 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: If that's your game, you're gonna play this up. You're 34 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: gonna keep doing these press conferences, keep saying these outrageous things. 35 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: It's fueling your crazy left wing ambition. So here's Mayor Fry. 36 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: There's still a lot that we don't know at this time, 37 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: but what I can tell you for certain is that 38 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: this is not sustainable. 39 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, now this is that's a pretty tame cut, but 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: there's all these other cuts to him, you know, on 41 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: and this is unconstitutional. What I it's nothing unconstitutional about 42 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: law enforcement, enforcing law. That's what they're supposed to do. 43 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: This is police Chief O'Hara. 44 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: The crowd is engaging in unlawful acts. They have thrown 45 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 3: fireworks at police officers and at multiple times gas has 46 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 3: been deployed. 47 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, now, so the even the police chief knows this 48 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: is getting out of control. 49 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: During the struggle, the federal agent discharged his weapon, striking 50 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 3: one adult male. The adult male then retreated inside of 51 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: the residents where he remained inside and refused to come out. 52 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: So it's getting out of control. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's 53 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: uh and the protesters are really getting to be a problem. 54 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: There's more and more of them. It's believed they're being 55 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: funded all this Soros type money has come in there 56 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: to fund all of this stuff. And you know, as 57 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: we're talking about yesterday, Democrats used to be the party 58 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: of the working class. Now they're the party of these 59 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,839 Speaker 1: left wing wackos who don't work, who spend all day 60 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: and they're calling this protesting. It's not protesting. Protesting is 61 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: where you have a sign, you're standing over there waving 62 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: your signs, and you might be yelling things at the cops. 63 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: You might be yelling terrible things. Protesting is a sign 64 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: and yelling, that's what it is, Ramming your vehicle into them, 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: grabbing them, throwing stuff at the that's not protesting. And 66 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: if you try to block the cops and stop them 67 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: like this Renee Good. Remember she would do you know 68 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: anybody that would have the nerve to do this? She 69 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: drives up ahead of the law enforcement caravan, turns a 70 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: car sideways, boxes them in, blocks them in on the street. 71 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: Who would have the nerve to do this? So anyway, 72 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: that's not protesting. That's actually trying to stop law enforcement 73 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: from doing their job. It's actually trying to interfere with 74 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: government proceedings. And that's why the president now tweeting out 75 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: he may use the Insurrection Act. There is an actual 76 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: Insurrection Act, which means the president can do whatever he 77 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: has to do in a city in a state. Basically, 78 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: what it would look like is he would send maybe 79 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,239 Speaker 1: National Guard, but it could also be troops, actual US 80 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: troops into a city and crack down on all this. 81 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: It's been done before, It's been done many times. The 82 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: Kennedys did it, and those southern states where they were 83 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: trying to block minority kids from going to College was 84 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: done in the late sixties. Lyndon Johnson did it. When 85 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 1: the riots would get out of control in certain American cities, 86 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: they would send the military in to stop it. So 87 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: the Insurrection Act is a real Now, this is actual insurrection. 88 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: Remember they tried to January sixth, Remember that was that 89 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: horrible trespassing incident at the capitol. They tried to call 90 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: that insurrection. It wasn't. Twelve hundred people were arrested and 91 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: they hit these people with every charge that could hit 92 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: them with, but none of the charges were insurrection. It 93 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: was an unlawful entry, disruption of a government proceeding, trespassing, 94 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, vandalism, not nobody got charged with insurrection. 95 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: This you could actually charge insurrection. You could actually charge insurrection. 96 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: So it's possible this could happen. We'll see. Now you're 97 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: gonna have all the crazies all over, crazy fake news, 98 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: left wing television. You got Hakeem Jeffreys. They're talking about 99 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: defunding ICE and stopping ICE, and. 100 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 2: Taxpayer dollars are being used by the Department of Homeland 101 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 2: Security and ICE to brutalize American citizens and law abiding 102 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: American taxpayers. 103 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: Now, of course, that's totally irresponsible. Is not going around 104 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: brutalizing American citizens. They're grabbing illegals off the street and 105 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: taking them into custody and then deporting them. Illegals, not immigrants, 106 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: not American citizens. And where did this come from? The idea, 107 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: this whole idea of ICE. There used to be the 108 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: border patrol. But where did this come from? This idea 109 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: that ICE could go into a city, find illegals who 110 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: had committed crimes and grab them and take them away. Well, 111 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: it's been going on for a long time. It happened 112 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: during the Obama administration, it happened during the Biden administration. 113 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: They didn't do it in great numbers, but they were 114 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: doing it then. In fact, there's a clip, I don't know, 115 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: it might be on my Twitter. It's floating around on Twitter. 116 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: It was during the Obama days when ICE was arresting 117 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: illegals on the streets of our major cities, taking them away. 118 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: And a reporter asks the White House spokesperson in the 119 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: press conference of what are you doing here? How are 120 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: you doing this? What right do you have? And she 121 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: gives a nice polite answer, and of course there's no 122 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: follow up. It's gently asked, and they gently listen to 123 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: the answer because it's a Democrat, it's Obama. So they 124 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: don't get mad. They don't huff and puff and yell 125 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: on the screen. This defunding ICE. You'll hear more about this. 126 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: This is gonna be the big thing with Democrats. They'll 127 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: try to do a government shutdown over defunding ICE. Most 128 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: people don't want ICE defunded. Most people don't like these protests. 129 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: It looks ridiculous, you know again, Democrats used to be 130 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: the party of the working class. Now they're the party 131 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: of these crazy women that don't work, angry, unhinged white 132 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: liberal women who don't work, the nose ring crowd. Basically, 133 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats took the lgbtqz x Y whatever they are 134 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: and weaponize them. So Renee Good has a father in law. 135 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: This is the father of the crazy wife of Renee Good, 136 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: the one that was yelling and screaming at the cops, 137 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: taunting them. But even he you know, they had them 138 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: and I think it was MSNBC. You know, they wanted 139 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: this guy to denounce Trump, but he didn't do that. 140 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: He was pretty pretty reasonable in his answer. 141 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 4: I'm not blaming anybody. I mean it's a hard situation 142 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 4: all the way around. It's it's it's hard for the 143 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 4: you know, for everybody involved. I mean the US agent. 144 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: You know, at first I didn't see the footage where 145 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 4: you know, he was actually you know, he was actually 146 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: being ran. I mean I've seen the bump of the 147 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 4: car hitting you know, hitting his legs, and so in 148 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 4: a you know, in a flash like that, it's it's 149 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 4: hard to say how you would react. From my understanding 150 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 4: that he had been through that before, maybe dragged or something, 151 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 4: and so, uh, you know, like I said, it's just 152 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 4: it's just a hard situation for everybody. 153 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. It's a very sensible, reasonable, honorable 154 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: sort of sounding guy. And then you see his daughter, 155 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: a crazy nut in the streets, screaming and yelling and 156 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: taunting law enforcement. He's more of this, A father, father 157 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: of Renee Goods wife. 158 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 4: I don't blame us, I don't Rebeck. I don't blame Renee. 159 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 4: I just you know, I just wish that, you know, 160 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 4: if a walking the spirit of God, I don't think 161 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 4: she would have been there. 162 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: Now, speaking of the ICE agent who was hit by 163 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: Renee Goods car, CBS News broke the story that when 164 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: he was taken to the hospital after that he was 165 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: suffering from internal bleeding. He was hit by the car. 166 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: You can see it in the videos from the front. 167 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: When he fired his first shot, it went through the 168 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: front windshield of the car, which means he was in 169 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: front of the car. You know, when you see that 170 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: other video, looks like he was on the side, but 171 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: you could not fire through the front windshield unless you 172 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: were in the front of the car, which he was 173 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: for the first shot. And CBS News reporting he had 174 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: internal bleeding when he got to the hospital. Now what happens, Well, 175 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: the left wing went crazy attacking CBS News. They're all 176 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: furious at CBS News for claiming he had internal bleeding. 177 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: Now that you have that phrase, they love to use 178 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: CBS report without evidence, reported without evidence. Well, they're also 179 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: without evidence that he didn't have internal bleeding. But here's 180 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: the problem with CBS News. They try to go more fair, 181 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: not right wing, just trying to be right down the 182 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: middle and give both sides, and it's got their audience 183 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: furious at them. So they've lost a few viewers. Their 184 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: nightly ratings are down to about four million. It was 185 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: five million last year. But that's Okay. You know when 186 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: you switch formats happens in the radio too. You know 187 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: you're playing a country in Western you switch to you 188 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: switch to classic rock. You know you're gonna lose a 189 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: lot of your audience. There'll be a transition before you 190 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: get your new audience in, so your ratings will drop 191 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: before they go up. And this is the same thing. 192 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: They're switching the format from crazy left wing to balanced, 193 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: and it'll take a while. Now here's what's interesting. NBC News. 194 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: You know they got this new anchor at NBC News, 195 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: Tom Yamas, good looking guy. In fact. Go on to 196 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: my Twitter. Look at the picture of the three nightly 197 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: news anchors. What's what's the guy's name on ABC, David Muir, 198 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: Tom Yamas. And it's gonna be a couple of years 199 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: before I learned the name of the CBS guy if 200 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: he's there that long, David, whatever his name is. So 201 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: these three anchors, look at the there's three pictures together, 202 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: it's on my Twitter. They look identical. They're both young, 203 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: really good looking, dark hair like young Don Draper types. 204 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: All they're identical, the three. It's amazing that's never happened 205 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: before in the history of nightly News were all three 206 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: anchors look exactly alike, but this Tom Yamas Lester Holt. 207 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: People liked Lester Holt. He was a nice guy. I 208 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: know he was crazy left wing, fake news slanted, but 209 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: he's not a bad guy in real life. He was 210 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: just like in a hostage situation. He had to do 211 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: that to keep the job. But as soon as he 212 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: was gone and this other guy took over, they did 213 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: much better. He just looked slicker, faster, younger, better than Lester. 214 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: And the ratings are up. In fact, for the first 215 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: time ever, NBC Nightly News beat ABC. This was in 216 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: the twenty five to fifty four demographic. Overall. ABC still won, 217 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: but it's a good sign for NBC News. So they 218 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: did a really good job of finding a replacement for 219 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: Lester Holt. So here's the way it works now, ABC 220 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: World News Tonight, the nightly newscast eight million viewers for 221 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: the week. That makes it the number one show in 222 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: all of television. But NBC Nightly News six point seven millions. 223 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: It's almost seven million, CBS Evening News four point two million. 224 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: But give them a chance to find a new audience 225 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: that likes reasonable, common sense stuff. Hey what happened with Iran, Well, 226 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: there was talk of going in there. They were going 227 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: to execute people. Trump threaten to go in and do 228 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: something about it. Now the word they got was that 229 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: the executions have been called off. Iran realized the idea 230 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: of executing people and hanging them in public could lead 231 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: to military actions from the US. President Trump is no 232 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: plan for executions or an execution or executions, so I've 233 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: been told that a good authority we'll find out about it. 234 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: So supposedly they've stopped. Now. The US has pulled some 235 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: of our troops out of Middle East bases that they're 236 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: near Iran. They sent all sorts of military assets, destroyers, 237 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: naval ships, everything is moving towards Iran, guided missile destroyers 238 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: and moving there. They're getting everything in place for whatever 239 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: they have to do. Iran issued a sickening threat, an 240 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: assassination threat against Donald Trump. Iran said this time it 241 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: will not miss the target. So is that a confession 242 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: that they were behind the last two? I think it 243 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: is Iran's made threats to kill the president in the past. 244 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: There was a twenty twenty two video posted by the 245 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: regime depicting an assassination on the president at Amar A 246 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: Lago golf course. And then remember there was an assassin 247 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: caught on that golf course. A Justice department also said 248 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, the US thwarted a plot to 249 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: kill President Trump after arresting company that apparently were part 250 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: of Iran's revolutionary Guard. So they have tried to kill 251 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: him before. They've issued a new threat against him, which 252 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: brings me back to what I've been saying all along. 253 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell he wanted this job. 254 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I knew the guy in private life before 255 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: he was in politics. He had a great life, that 256 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: beautiful office in Trump Tower. You're going to parties, having fun, 257 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: Celebrities come up and see you building buildings. Who needs 258 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: to trade that in for all of this stuff? And 259 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: then on top of all these you imagine all day long, 260 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: you know, you mentioned going to a meeting with the 261 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: officials of Greenland. Who the hell wants to sit through that? 262 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: And then on top of that, you got a ran 263 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: trying to kill you. Who needs the this kind of stuff? 264 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: Now they are they may stop the executions, but they 265 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: are going crazy putting down these protests. Doctors in Iran 266 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: say they are collapsing from exhaustion because the protesters are 267 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: getting wounded, shot, all sorts of stuff happening. They're coming 268 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: into the hospitals by the thousands. The number of wounded 269 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: and dead bodies piling up. He's unbelievable, doctors saying, they're 270 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: arriving in trucks, ambulances, private cars, filled with bodies. We 271 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: can't help everyone. We're running out of supplies. Many have 272 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: died because we couldn't even get time to treat them. 273 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: All pretty bad situation in Iran. So we'll get to that. 274 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: We'll get back to that. They also will get to 275 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: the giants they're gonna hire. It looks like they're going 276 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: to hire John Harbaugh. They're lucky to have him, you know, 277 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: they're lucky that he's available. The reason he's available the 278 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: other team just fired him. I don't understand this whole procedure. 279 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: What kind of job interviews that though? Why'd you leave 280 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: your last job? Well, threw me the hell out. But 281 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: apparently they want to give him twenty million a year. Anyway, 282 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: we'll get back to this. We'll take some calls. Next. 283 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is 284 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: the number.

It's you got a 294 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: lot of neighborhoods getting out of control there, don't you. 295 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 6: It's like there's a murder every one or two murders 296 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 6: every single day in the outer neighborhoods and the city. 297 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 6: You would never think, but there's there's killings constantly in 298 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 6: the outer Yeah, it's crazy. My question is I'm hoping 299 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 6: that Trump isn't feeling because the execute stopped, that all 300 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 6: is forgiven and they can go back to where they were. 301 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 6: They crossed the rubicon on this whole situation already. They 302 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 6: can't go back and just say, well, you know, because 303 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 6: the killings have stopped, everything is all right. 304 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: No, don't worry. They're just you know, the longer they wait, 305 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: the better they plan whatever they're going to do the 306 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: way it'll work out. I think that you'll end up 307 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: with the Iatola fleeing heading to Russia with his He's 308 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: got about twenty people he wants to take with him. 309 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 1: Russia's offered to give them sanctuary or whatever. You got 310 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: to pay for that. By the way, I don't know 311 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: if you know that, but when they take in a 312 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: dictator on their run, you got to pay pootin. Usually 313 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: it's about one hundred million. You got to give them. 314 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: Don't worry, the Iatolic can afford it.

You know, 317 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 8: the biggest thing it's stopping us from having being protected 318 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 8: or having good politicians is the voting system. Governor out 319 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 8: of just recently allowed paper ballot voting in six of 320 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 8: the counties in Texas. Why are we doing this paper 321 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 8: ballot voting? 322 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, no, it's a good idea. You got to 323 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: remember years of million years ago, when it was all 324 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: paper bollot, you still had cheating in certain places. It's 325 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: gonna happen when you had those machines, you had cheating. 326 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: When you got you know, into the software, you get cheating. 327 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: And it's it's not the machine company or the software company. 328 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: It's depends who's running the stuff. You know, in a 329 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: big municipality like in the middle of New York City, 330 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: the municipal workers running all that stuff tend to be Democrats, 331 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: you know. That's who becomes these municipal workers for a 332 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: million years. Republicans don't tend to do that kind of 333 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: stuff for a living. So there was always finagling with it. 334 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: And let's go from North Carolina to South Carolina. Stuart, 335 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: how you doing, hey? 336 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 3: Mark? 337 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 5: Ay you doing? Oh? Two points one? Vincent mentioned yesterday 338 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 5: about the night six and you mentioned about the ones 339 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 5: with the handles. That was a PR twenty four. 340 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: Okay, but wait, they got rid of the night stick. 341 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: It looked good because the cop but spent the first 342 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: two years on the force learning how to twirl it 343 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: real nice. 344 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, but the PR twenty four is the one you 345 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 5: mentioned with the handles were fantastic. They were basically marshall arts. 346 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: Okay, but that's the thing where it looks like a 347 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: big selfie stick. It's it's small, but then you extend 348 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: a wand out. 349 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 9: Yeah. 350 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,239 Speaker 5: And the other one that you had talked about, the 351 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 5: expandable one, is I think they are horrible it's called 352 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 5: an Asta and it's it's not so cumbersome. But the 353 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 5: PR twenty four was much much better. And the other 354 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 5: thing I want to say, I was in Iran before the. 355 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 7: Shaw left, what we were doing in Iran. 356 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 5: I was in the military and it was the people 357 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 5: there was great. In fact, the country was very nice. 358 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 5: I loved being there. 359 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, well, let me just because people did not 360 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: realize it before the Shaw left. When the Shaw was 361 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: running it, before the Ayatola, Iran was like the Paris 362 00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: of the Middle. 363 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 5: East, right, It was wonderful, Mark. It really was a 364 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 5: nice place and the people were really great. They were 365 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 5: so friendly. And people have to understand, we are not 366 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 5: at war with the Iranian people. They are very decent people. 367 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 5: It is the regime that has just bastardized that poor country. 368 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 5: And once the Iotolas took over then it just went insane. 369 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 5: And he's got to be removed. He really does. He's 370 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 5: done so much damage to the world. He's just a 371 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 5: cancer upon the earth. 372 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Stuart, great call, Thanks for Colin. Let's 373 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: go to Vincent from Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing. 374 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark, God morning, Good morning Stewart. Mark Stewart 375 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 9: is one hundred percent right. Years ago, I used to 376 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 9: have a tenant and his family escaped from Moran when 377 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 9: the Mullahs took over, and they did very very well 378 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 9: in this country, very well, very well loved family. Mark, 379 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 9: the first caller talked about the uprising in a ram Mark, 380 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 9: I wouldn't trust those people as far as I could spit, 381 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 9: because how do we know that they're not taking the 382 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 9: prisoners in the police stations or in the barracks and 383 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 9: putting a cap in their head over there years ago? 384 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 9: And people got to remember this when there was the 385 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 9: first uprising in Iran years ago, when Obama was president 386 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 9: and he didn't do anything. I saw executions in the 387 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 9: town square, not on American TV, on Italian TV of course, 388 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 9: where they were hanging these kids from cherry pickers in 389 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 9: the town square and everything. 390 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: It's not fair to say Obama didn't do anything. Didn't 391 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: he send him like twenty billion in cash, remember that. 392 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 9: Exactly? The help which was actually which was actually illegal 393 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 9: because he was also sending them other currencies aside from 394 00:21:59,160 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 9: the United States. 395 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, they disguised at this other Curtsey, but it was 396 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: that out and out bribe to her in Yeah. 397 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, he was sending them everything. How do we know 398 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 9: he didn't send them gold and other stuff in there? 399 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 9: And as President Donald Trump said, Obama did squat and 400 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 9: I saw the executions myself on unwoke Italian TV. Mark, 401 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 9: So I wouldn't trust those people as far as I 402 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 9: can spare. 403 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's why they hate Donald Trump. They don't 404 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: like this. Why does he have to do so much? 405 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: Just sit there and talk like Trump, just talk. Don't 406 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: let you do anything, Donald Trump. You would saying, well, 407 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: you said, well, why would he want to risk taking 408 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: a bullet? He is going to go down. There's no 409 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: doubt in my mind. There's the greatest president in United 410 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: States history. He's gonna top everybody. The only one perhaps 411 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: that he won't top, only because he found his country, 412 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: is George Washington. He is the greatest. All right, Vincent, 413 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: we agree, Thanks for a great call, Thanks for calling us.

Steve Moore, How you doing. 426 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 7: Say, Mark, I have known really well. I think that 427 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 7: this economy is flying high. I think all the signals 428 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 7: are pointing north, whether it's incomes, and we're seeing a 429 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 7: lot of new jobs, a lot of new manufacturing, a 430 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 7: lot of money pouring into the United States. I think 431 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 7: were they out economy? And so I'm very bullish right 432 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 7: now about you. 433 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Well, I'm not an expert like you are. 434 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: But the jobs number looked okay, not great. But if 435 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: you look at the household survey, it looked great. What 436 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: is the difference between the two things. 437 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 7: Well, I don't want to get too far into the weeds. 438 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 7: I don't want to be a nerdy here, but basically, 439 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 7: they do surveys one of the households in one of 440 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 7: the businesses, and they pointed in different directions, And so 441 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 7: the household survey showed a big gain in jobs and 442 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 7: the other one just showed a little tiny game. I 443 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 7: don't know which one to believe. I think maybe somewhere 444 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 7: in the middle. But look, the problem in the United 445 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 7: States is not a shortage of jobs. It isn't it's 446 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 7: a shortage of workers. I mean, we have a eleven 447 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 7: thousand America retirement every day and eight thousand people that 448 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 7: work for So just do the math there are our 449 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 7: labor force is going to be shrinking unless we have 450 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 7: immigration and unless we get the people who are employed 451 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 7: in into jobs. So if you talk to most businesses, 452 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 7: they say, look, we're hiring, we just can't find the 453 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 7: people with the skills we need. You saw Bill Ford, 454 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 7: you know, who, of course is the president of Ford 455 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 7: Motor Company. Yeah, say, we have fifteen thousand mechanic jobs 456 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 7: open and those stay over one hundred thousand dollars a 457 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 7: year and we can't fill them. 458 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, I know that. And for it's an example 459 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: of a great American company that's a coming back manufacturing 460 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: in America. Yep. And yep. 461 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,719 Speaker 7: I mean, you know, it's interesting, Mark, because you probably 462 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 7: said a lot of your listeners and I'm sure you 463 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 7: saw Trump, you know, give that little talk at the 464 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 7: Ford plant where they make the F one fifty. And 465 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 7: you know, when I was a kid, you know, I 466 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 7: in the early seventies, when I grew up in Chicago, 467 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 7: we took a trip. We drove to Detroit and we 468 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 7: went to the Kellogg's factory and we went to the 469 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 7: steel plants and we went to the Ford you know 470 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 7: plant there. And back then this was seventy like sweatshops. 471 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 7: I mean, those are tough factory jobs, you know. And 472 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 7: I looked at the factories, you know, that factory, that 473 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 7: four factory today. It didn't look and anything like that 474 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 7: fifty years ago. And so my point is, you know 475 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 7: that that it's changed a lot in these kind of 476 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 7: manufacturing jobs, and it so much is done with automation now, 477 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 7: and so it's it's amazing and the fact that we're now, 478 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 7: you know, producing more cars is a really positive thing. 479 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 7: And producing Americas trumps that it used to be. The 480 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 7: factory we're moving from Michigan to Mexico, and now they're 481 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 7: moving from Mexico Michigan. 482 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, speaking of all that, you know, years ago, 483 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party was the party of the working class. 484 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: You thought of Democrat voter. You thought of the factory, 485 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: the lunch bucket, the hard hat. Now you think of 486 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: a Democrat, what do you think of a nose ring, 487 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: pink hair? They don't work, chasing ice around? What happened? 488 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 7: It's a great point, I think one of the real 489 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 7: uh political positions that has happened in the last fifteen pointers, 490 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 7: especially in the Europe. Trump, it's been Trump really has 491 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 7: turned the Republican Party into the party of the working class, 492 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 7: and Democrats have become the party of the league. And 493 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 7: so that's why you're seeing you know, uh mayhound in 494 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 7: the cities and so on. I mean, you look at 495 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 7: what's happening in New York City and it's just it 496 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 7: breaks my home mark. I mean, you live there in 497 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 7: the New York It's just, how can you who admits 498 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 7: that he's a socialist? Where is socialism point to a 499 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 7: civil plate where it works? Yeah? 500 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: Uh, Well, but the president seems to have a good 501 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: relationship with mom, Donnie, not that it's ye done anything relationship. 502 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 7: He also has a good relationship now with pokahonnas uh. 503 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: Well loosen Steve. Are you there a credit cards? Yeah? Hey, 504 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: speaking of credit cards, this idea of capping because they 505 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: are interesting. Well, the interest rate on a credit card 506 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: can be ridiculously high twenty Why not a cap? 507 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 7: Well, because if you do that, it's because they've tried 508 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 7: this before. When you put these kind of caps on 509 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 7: the then they issue fewer credit cards, and we estimated 510 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 7: millions of Americans will lose, especially lower income Americans and 511 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 7: Americans with poorer credit ratings. And then they're not going 512 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 7: to have access to credit at all. And then what 513 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 7: are they gonna have to do? They're gonna have to 514 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 7: go to you know, Guido the loan Shark you can 515 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 7: get money. So I think it's a really bad idea. 516 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 7: I'm not a financial advisor, but I will advise this 517 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 7: to your listeners. The worst way to borrow is to 518 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 7: borrow off your credit card. People are stupid to do that, 519 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 7: and we should. We need more financial literacy in this. 520 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 7: You're better off taking a loan at a bank than 521 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 7: burrowing off your credit cards. Because you said they'll pay you, 522 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 7: they'll charge your twenty two percent interest, So don't that. 523 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 7: Credit cards are not for borrowing. And if you get 524 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 7: if you get into debt on your credit card, try 525 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 7: to pay it back as quickly as possible. So but look, 526 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 7: the banks don't make money when people go, uh, you know, 527 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 7: go don't link went on their credit cards. But they 528 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 7: have to recapture, you know, they pay, you know, they're 529 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 7: paying the same four percent interest rate, they pay six 530 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 7: percent on the capture. They pay all these costs. So 531 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 7: there's way. But I saw that some at two trillion 532 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 7: dollars of debt on people's credit cards. That's bad. 533 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that Warren Buffett. That old woman said, uh, 534 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: he said, well what do you Oh, it's well, my 535 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: credit card did how much you're paying a twenty two percent? 536 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,479 Speaker 1: And he said pay it off immediately. She said, well 537 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: I need money. He said, I'll give you all the 538 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,719 Speaker 1: money you want if you're paying twenty two percent. 539 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 7: So yeah, right exactly. So it's just a bad way 540 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 7: to borrow. And people are going to look, I'm I 541 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 7: have relatives who've gotten into the card trouble. And and 542 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 7: then the problem is then if you don't pay the 543 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 7: credit card, you know, then you lose your credit rating. 544 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 7: So we just need to be more disciplined in terms 545 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 7: of you know, not overspending. But I don't think look 546 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 7: taking away credit card. Look it used to be when 547 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 7: I grew up, only you know, less half of the 548 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 7: population even had access to credit cards. Now almost everybody 549 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,959 Speaker 7: has a credit card, and that's a good thing. It 550 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 7: means we've democratized credit and innocently. Have you noticed this? 551 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 7: I don't know if it's true in New York City, 552 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 7: but a lot of firs where I live, they say, 553 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 7: we don't take cash anymore. Well, so if they don't 554 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 7: take cash and you can't get a credit card, are 555 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 7: you going to pay for anything? 556 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: But in five years, I don't think we'll have any 557 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: cash anywhere. Everything will. 558 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 7: I don't think so either, So that you know, how 559 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 7: are people going to you know, people are going to 560 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 7: use electronic transfers and and so we want everybody to 561 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 7: have access to credit. And but look, I agree with you. 562 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 7: I think though some of those interest rates are really high. 563 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 7: But I don't think I don't like the government setting 564 00:30:59,240 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 7: price controls. 565 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, if we're not gonna have any cash anymore, is 566 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: that the reason we really have to have crypto for 567 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,719 Speaker 1: people that want to avoid taxes and all that stuff 568 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: and criminal activity. That's why they need crypto. 569 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 7: Well, I'm not an expert on cryptos. I'm very happy 570 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 7: we have them. And are you an investor in cryptos? 571 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 8: No? 572 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 7: No, no, I'm not either, but I'm happy that we 573 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 7: have them because you know what, we've got a lot 574 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 7: of you know, we've got Jerome poll up the FED 575 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 7: who doesn't know what he's doing. And you know what 576 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 7: does the government always do when we get in trouble 577 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 7: They inflate the currency. So this is a fact that 578 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 7: people can buy a private currency. I think it's going 579 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 7: to keep these central bankers honest. Hey, we just a 580 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 7: prediction is a good thing. 581 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, we only got a few seconds. Jerome Poull when 582 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: he is done is the FED chairman? Will he leave 583 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: or who he stay on the board and annoy everybody? 584 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 7: Does it matter? I just want him out of the 585 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 7: chairmanship as soon as possible. I'm with Trump. I think 586 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,719 Speaker 7: he's been a total disaster at the FED. Uh and 587 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 7: he hates Trump and a lot of this. He's also 588 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 7: the most political Fed sherman we've ever had yet. I 589 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 7: cannot wait but up my advice to Trump just wait 590 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 7: him out. He'll be gone in four months and we'll 591 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 7: he'll be He'll be gone and forgotten. 592 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: Well, unlike you. I want him out of the building, 593 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: not on the board, not a vote. I want him gone, 594 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: leave Washington anyway.
