6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: how you doing.

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: Hey, Mark?

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: How are you?

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 3: I'm good? Thank you?

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: Listen, nobody, nobody would we go to the soapball issue.

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 3: Did the cops just.

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: Stand there and let them be assaulted? They didn't do

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: anything about it.

14
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Well, they were showing restraint. You know. That's what Mark.

15
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: That's now, in the age of everybody having their phone

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: and video everywhere, you got to give them credit for

17
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: showing restraint. Now, the good old days, before there was video,

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: before there was anybody had a phone, and the good

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: old days, they would have responded that night sticks would

20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: have come out and they would get as as Curtis

21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: would say, a wooden shampoo. But you can't do that

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: stuff anymore. But they did show a lot of restraint

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: considering what happened. Let's go to Tom and point pleasant Tom.

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: How you doing, Yes, good morning, Mark. One of the

25
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: more noteworthy disappearance and kidnapping was Jimmy Hoffa.

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: Oh there you go, of course, but that's different. Those

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: were beyond professionals. That was the mob. They know how

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: to really really make somebody disappear.

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 3: But I ask you a question, mark, how do you

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: feel about the president selling risk watches on TV? Don't

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: you think that degrades the president? But I think that's a.

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: Little bit not at all he's got And it's not

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: just risk. It's okay if it's you've been doing it

34
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: all your life and for years he's been selling the

35
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: Trump hats, Trump ties, Trump stuff.

36
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: Merchandise as the president.

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean he's just continuing what he's always done. Yeah,

38
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: you could have. You could make the case. I mean,

39
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: you're not wrong, but I wouldn't worry about it's such

40
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: a tiny, tiny point.

41
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: I agree with that.

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Have you ever gone to Trump Tower. Go to Trump Tower,

43
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: go down stairs. There's a Trumps store. They sell absolutely

44
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: everything in the world with the Trump logo on it.

45
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: You'll love it. Now, some people will say it's an egomaniac,

46
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: Trump towels, Trump water Trump. Well, no, actually he's been

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: in the hotel business for decades and it's what you

48
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: do when you're in the hotel business. Every hotel chain,

49
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, you forget Trump owns dozens and dozens and

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: dozens and dozens of hotels all over the world. Every

51
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: hotel chain, Ritz Carlton, Marriott four Seasons has a gift

52
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: shop where they got Ritz Carlton towels, which Riz Carlton bathrobes,

53
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: Ritz Carlton shirts, Ritz Carlton water. It's a normal thing

54
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: you do when you have a hotel chain. It's like

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: when he opened his own steak company. They said, what

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: kind of guy opened? Well, most big chains do that.

57
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: You open your own because it's too much to go into.

58
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: It's a lot cheaper if you have your own steak

59
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: company instead of buying it all the time. So when

60
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: Trump probably owns, I don't know, two hundred restaurants, you

61
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: form your own steak company. Let's go to Robert and Yonkers. Robert,

62
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: how you doing, hey.

63
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: Mark Man, Danny wants the cops to quick because he

64
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: wants to put a communist patrol in there, and I

65
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: just think it's crazy. And as usual gold Buchanic.

66
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: Go, baby, there you go. You know you got to

67
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: explain that nobody remembers Pat Buchanan was a wonderful guy

68
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: a million years ago. He used to be a regular

69
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: guest on this show. Uh. In fact, he's long gone,

70
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: long forgotten. Some people have actually talked about the President

71
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: should award him one of those one of those medals,

72
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: because he was pretty good. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,

73
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: how you doing, good morning?

74
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: Mark?

75
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: Markom Okay a gentleman who called from Jersey.

76
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: He lived in a town called I hes talking about

77
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: possums and all the.

78
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Wildlife weg swamp. I have that. I have that kind

79
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: of problem my yard at night, my yard and the possums.

80
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: No like as the vacuum cum.

81
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: Hey, Vincent, you're you're all. It's not you. The phone's

82
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: all screwed up. It's cutting you off. But call us back.

83
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to Peter and Flushing. Peter, how you're doing.

84
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: Mark, good morning. He used to be a police officer,

85
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: recently retired. As my heart was breaking. Well, I saw

86
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: the police, how they were being treatable. It's more heartbreaking

87
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: is how this mayor responded to that de moralize in

88
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: his police, and he's putting them in a position where

89
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: if they instinctively want to do what they need to

90
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: do and how they're trained. They won't. They have mace,

91
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: they have body cameras on that. Nobody punishes the police

92
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: harder than the New York City Police Department when they're wrong.

93
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: If these guys would have defended themselves correctly and enforced

94
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: laws and ordinances, they should have done everything possible to

95
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: cop as many people as possible. That should have been

96
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: a full blown thirteen more cops should have been there, Supervisor.

97
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 2: I didn't notice. I didn't see any white shirts at all.

98
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: It's just a very very weird dynamic we're living. And

99
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear your opinion.

100
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the only thing white shirts means captain's lieutenant's

101
00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Where to go? We lost them.

102
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: I think he's listening to himself. Ten thirteen is I

103
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: don't know, that's a little it's a ten eighty five

104
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: to fourth with I don't think you can call it

105
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: ten thirteen over snowballs. But no, you're absolutely right. It's

106
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: just totally totally out of it, you know. And the

107
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: other problem I'll get to listen to the next hour.

108
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of studies that have come out when

109
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: you get lax on these kind of things. It eventually

110
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: gets people killed. I'll explain Hi. I mean, there's like

111
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: actual research on this, on how this changes that. Well,

112
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: we'll get to that in the next hour because when

113
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: we come back we'll talk to the great economist Steve Moore.

114
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: He'll be with us next on seven to ten wor
