1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone here. Welcome to the bonus segment. 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: This is for you podcast listeners. We give you an 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: extra show every week. A lot happened this week. It's spring, 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: winter is over. Iran continues behind the scenes. People expect 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: these straits of hormoose to be opened pretty soon, a 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: week or two. War to be wrapped up in three weeks, 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: four weeks or so. But not if you watch MSNBC 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: or Fake News or CNN Fact that crazy MSNBC. You 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: know that Senator Mark Kelly, that Trump hating, angry, vicious 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: Senator Mark Kelly, the one that told the soldiers don't 11 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: follow any illegal orders and that gotten all kinds of mess. 12 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: So there he is on MSNBC, and they allow this 13 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,959 Speaker 1: crap to go on. First of all, I know he's 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: a military guy, a combat veteran, did a couple of twos. 15 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. But he knows nothing 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: about what's going on in Iran. But they put him 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: on the air if he's got some sort of insight 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: in special knowledge. He's on MBS. Men be seen. They're 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: let them go on and on and on. The problem 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: here is Trump has no goal, no plan, no exit strategy. 21 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: This is what we had feared the most. He doesn't 22 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: know what he's talking about. He has no idea about 23 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: the planning on this war, no idea. What I guarantee 24 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: you there was tremendous planning. And I know Trump and 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: those military guys, they'll come in. It's always the same thing. 26 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: They give you three choices. When you're the president. The military, 27 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: the generals that come in, sir, you have three. They 28 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: call them Coah's course of action. There are three possible 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: courses of action. They lay out the three and the 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: president picks one. Now, with Trump, that's not going to happen. 31 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: He wants thirty choices. He'll sit there and start questioning everybody. 32 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: They'll go and do excruciating detail on every choice. Everything, 33 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: they'll customize it all to it come up with exactly 34 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: the right plan. Trump is a planning freak. He's also 35 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: a guy who has to see everything, whatever the situation. 36 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: He'll research, investigate, call, make a million phone calls, find 37 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: out every detail. So when you watch a Mark Kelly, 38 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: there's no goal. Trump always has a goal. Well, there 39 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: was no planning. There was endless planning. There's no exit strategy. 40 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: I guarantee you they've got six exit strategies ready to go. 41 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: So just totally irresponsible for MSNBCCNN to allow people like 42 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: that on the air. Now watch, you'll see them on 43 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: all the Sunday shows, the same guy who knows absolutely nothing, 44 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: and they'll have him on as if he's giving you 45 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:43,119 Speaker 1: incredible insight into what happened. Now these Democrats will does 46 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: anything shock you anymore? But the way they vote. They 47 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: had a bill they were voting on about deporting people 48 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: who commit welfare fraud, and that's a big problem here 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: in this country, you know, with something like nineteen billion 50 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. This welfare fraud just stealing from our government. 51 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: And throughout the history of the United States, we always 52 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: deported people when they got caught committing a crime if 53 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: they were not full citizens here. But they put it 54 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: up for a vote and Democrats voted against it. How 55 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: dare you deport somebody committing welfare fraud. We need to 56 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: keep them here. Democrats voted against it. The vote was 57 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: two thirty one six to approve the Deporting Fraudsters Acts, 58 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: but one hundred and eighty six Democrats oppose the measure. Now, 59 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: Democrats love having all the illegals here, and you know, 60 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans do too. Government Republicans, it's a force. 61 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: It's a slave labor force. You know, if you're here illegally, 62 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: you really don't have as many rights, and employers can 63 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: pay you less, they can pay you below minimum wage 64 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: if you're here illegally. So it's a great form of 65 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: slave labor. Democrats fighting to keep it. Republicans, some Republicans 66 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: in Congress. Businesses they kind of like that. Hey, CBS 67 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: had a terrible week this week. A lot of layoffs 68 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: at the news division. The whole company laying off. They're 69 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: probably going to lay off fifteen percent of their workforce. 70 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: They got rid of the CBS Radio News division. Wow. 71 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: And CBS Evening News. You know they got that new anchor, 72 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: Tony Well, here's part of the problem. The hell you 73 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: say this name? Tony docal pill, Doca pill, Doca pill. 74 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what his name is. No one's going 75 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: to know. He'll be there another few months. Why bother 76 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: to learn the name? But the CBS Evening News now 77 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 1: fell below for the first time and four million viewers. 78 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: It's below four million, three point eight million viewers. Wow. Now, 79 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: David Muir on ABC eight and a half million. That's 80 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 1: a big difference, eight and a half million, and CBS 81 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: has got three point eight nightly news NBC Tom Jamis, 82 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: that's not so bad. Six point five million, still way 83 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: below David Muir way out in front. He did you 84 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: see if you're watching the Oscars, did you see Jane 85 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: Fonda on the red carpet and all that stuff. She 86 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: looked pretty good for eighty eight. Obviously a lot of 87 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: plastic surgery, but really well done. You know, you see 88 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: a lot of these people who get their endless plastic 89 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: surgery and they look plastic, and it looks fake, and 90 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,799 Speaker 1: it looks like they went to a body and fender shop. 91 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: But she her stuff looks so real and natural. She's 92 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: eighty eight and going to work. She wants to try 93 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: for a third Oscar, a new film version of The 94 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: Correspondent based on the novel. She will not only be 95 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: in it, she'll produce, she'll star in it. That's a 96 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: lot of work at eighty eight. She's already won a 97 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: few Oscars well, she wants another Oscar nomination. She won 98 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: Best Actress Award for Clute, also for Coming Home, and 99 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: has a whole bunch of nominations so she could be 100 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: up for another one. You know, Bill Gates, he's all 101 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: tangled up with Epstein. It is really bad with the 102 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: Epstein stuff. Remember his whole fake Well, I had a 103 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: meeting with him about philanthropy. Yeah, the meeting was at 104 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: night for like twelve hours. He was there multiple times. 105 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: His wife left them over it. So he went from 106 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: that to finally confessing that he was with a couple 107 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: of Russian women that came from gatesworld, and then the 108 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: story Epstein world. The story is that there was some 109 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: sexually transmitted disease and Epstein had to arrange for him 110 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: to get to a kind of an off the record 111 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: doctor and get some medication. You know. One thing Bill 112 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: Gates does. He set up this thing called the Giving 113 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: Pledge where zillionaires sign up for this Giving Pledge. And 114 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: what it is is, when you die, all your money 115 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: goes to philanthropy. When you die, all your money goes 116 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: to philanthropy. And a lot of big names signed up 117 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: for it, a lot of those Silicon Valley guys and 118 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: a lot of zillionaires signed up for it, and Warren 119 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: Buffett was behind it, and it was put together by 120 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: Bill Gates. It's kind of you know, if you want 121 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: to give your money to philanthropy, you just give it 122 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: to philanthropy, don't need to sign up for the Giving 123 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: Pledge and have your plastered all over the website and 124 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: take credit for it. But apparently this Giving Pledge is 125 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: falling apart. Many of them say it's too Epstein connected 126 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: now because of Bill Gates. In fact, the great billionaire 127 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: Peter Teal, he's one of the few of these billionaires, 128 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley guys who are a Republican conservative. But he 129 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: said the Giving Pledge is now to Epstein adjacent. It's 130 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: a fake boomer club. He's now urging fellow billionaires, including 131 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, abandon the Giving Pledge get the hell away 132 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: from it. First of all, he said, the whole thing 133 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: is ridiculous, and he's right about this is the problem 134 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: that Giving Pledge. It's not just you give away all 135 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: your money, but they designate the charities, and Peter Tiele 136 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: pointing out they're all left wing nonprofits chosen by Bill Gates, 137 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: and those left wing nonprofits tend to do the most 138 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: useless stuff. I know it's as global health and all that, 139 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: but it doesn't do anything pretty in particular climate initiatives, 140 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: diversity programs. Again, a total waste of your philanthropy dollars. 141 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: Put them into something more practical. And critics have also 142 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: pointed out this giving pledge has absolutely no enforcement mechanism, 143 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: doesn't track if anybody actually really donates their money or 144 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: just says it on the website. Yeah, so forget that 145 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: giving pledge. It's now totally totally, just got a cloud 146 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: all over it. Now, these crazy democrats in New York 147 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: City Council, all these crazy left wing democrats just sit 148 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: around dreaming up the most crazy things to do. They 149 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: now are planning City Council members, the left wing ones 150 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: are considering all kinds of new legislation to crack down 151 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: on the self checkout line in the supermarket. You know, 152 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: the problem is you've got all kinds of criminals everywhere. 153 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: Shoplifting is not a crime anymore in New York. They 154 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: don't enforce it. You can do it in the drug store, 155 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: you can do it everywhere. So that's why everything is 156 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: locked out. But they want to go after businesses. I 157 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: don't know why. They just want to shut down these 158 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: self checkout things. They'd first, they want to pass a bill. 159 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: It's a fifteen item limit on self checkout and at 160 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: least one employee has to be there to watch the 161 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: self checkout. Well, if you got the employee there, they 162 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: could be the cash here. If it doesn't happen, they 163 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: want to find one hundred dollars to the business. We've 164 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: seen the consequence of removing workers from these spaces. It 165 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: means increased retail theft lest oversight. Well, they're not worried 166 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: about retail theft. MT's just pass the law that the 167 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: district attorney has to prosecute shoplifters and that's the end 168 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: of it. Right now, they don't. They let them all go, 169 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: and that's why these people shoplift. It's again one Queen's 170 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: Republican saying typical backwards leftist logic. So, hey, we're talking 171 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: on the show this week about oil prices. Gas prices. 172 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: You know, they plunged everywhere under President Trump, but not 173 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: in New York, not in California. In New York they 174 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: continued to stay high because of state tax and all 175 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. Same thing in California. They tax that stuff 176 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,599 Speaker 1: to death, and they don't have a pipeline to California. 177 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: That's one reason they don't have as much oil as 178 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: they should, as much gas. In California, there's no pipeline. 179 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: Why isn't there a pipeline. They wouldn't allow it because 180 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: of environmental reasons. They wouldn't allow the building of a pipeline. 181 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: So they got to get more oil in California. President 182 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: Trump is now going to sign an executive order ordering 183 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: drilling operations in California. The Energy Department said there's a 184 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: couple of facilities there that can produce fifty thousand barrels 185 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: a day. President Trump will order them to resume drilling 186 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: operations and start producing oil. Now, this is going to 187 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: get newso and those people nuts, they'll start going crazy. 188 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: Speaking of Newsom, he got a lot of flak this week. 189 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell he was thinking. He just, 190 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: you know how he rants and raves and makes all 191 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: kinds of crazy claims. So he talked about how Florida 192 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: and Texas are the real high tax states, not California. 193 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: It's Florida and Texas that have the high taxes. Well, 194 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: they don't have any tax. There's no state tax in 195 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: either state. Obviously, DeSantis spoke up and everybody just amazed, 196 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: even the Washington, D C. Based Tax Foundation said Newsom's 197 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: claims there just insane, insane, It's just crazy. Of course, 198 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: of course there's no tax in Texas or Florida, so 199 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: you got to wonder about a guy that desperate. It'll 200 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: just start out and outlying. Now, people leaving California like crazy. 201 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: Even the guy that founded Uber, Travis Kalanak, he's the 202 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: founder of Uber, leaving California. Just announced he's moving to Texas. 203 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: The states are pushing They don't only have the highest taxes, 204 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: but they want to push this special, big, one time, 205 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: enormous tax on billionaire. So many of them are moving 206 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: out of the state just to get away from that thing. Hey, 207 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: Barack Obama the Presidential Library. You know, every ex president 208 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: builds a library, usually a beautiful building. People work there. 209 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: In case of Obama, it's the ugliest building ever seen. 210 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: They're asking for unpaid volunteers. They don't want to pay you, 211 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: they just want you to volunteer. Meantime, the CEO of 212 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: the Obama Presidential Center, Valerie Jarrett, remember her making eight 213 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: hundred thousand a year. Eight hundred thousand a year. That's 214 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: a lot for a nonprofit, you know, nonprofit. Maybe the 215 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: head gets three hundred maybe four hundred, eight hundred thousand 216 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: a year, a little ridiculous. Total salaries and benefits at 217 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: this nonprofit went up to about nineteen million, then they 218 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: went to forty three million. It keeps expanding. Apparently financially. 219 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: The whole thing is totally out of control. They're building 220 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: the ugliest building anybody's ever seen. Supposed to be fifty million. 221 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: I think they're up to a billion and a half 222 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: now for this building. Absolutely ridiculous. More than fifty percent 223 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: of the construction contracts went to diverse firms, and they say, 224 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: as a result, most of the work is not getting 225 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: done on time, not getting done very well. It's just 226 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: a total disaster. Another example of the management skill of 227 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: baronck Obama. Hey we're out of time, but I'll be 228 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: back Monday. I'm here every weekday ten to noon.
