1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: NOWR presents no Mark some own show.

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 2: Hey, I got a lot to get to today. We'll

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: get to President Trump, Iran, We'll get to Jerome Powell.

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: We'll get to Minnesota. We'll get to uh, we'll get

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: to Bruce Blakeman big inauguration yesterday for his second term.

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 2: We'll get to a mom Donnie Hokeel and a whole

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: lot more coming up. So, Hey, I just to clear

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 2: this Jerome Powell thing. Powell, he's the one that announced it.

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: He's the one that held a press conference that the

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: Trump administration is trying to indict him, and it's clearly

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: law fair and that sort of stuff. Well, uh, Trump

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: administrass not making clear nobody was indicting him. The Justice

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: Department had been asking him for information about what could

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: possibly be a crime or just gross negligence. You know,

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: they were rebuilding the FED building should cost about maybe

16
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: eight hundred thousand. Instead they spent like three billion where

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: they held did all that money go Justice Department? And

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: he testified it in front of Congress about it, But

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: there were questions brought up by his testimony. So the

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: Justice Department sending him letters asking him for clarification, asking

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: him for information, and he refused to respond. He never

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: responded to anything. So finally they sent something that said,

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: you know, you have to respond to us. You can't

24
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: just not answer, Otherwise we'd have to seek some legal remedy.

25
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: That's all they said. And then I guess he decided

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: to get ahead of it. And he's the one that

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: held a big press conference over the weekend announcing the

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 2: Justice Department is trying to indict him, and it's law fare,

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: and it's unusual for Powell to hold any kind of

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: press conference like that, But he got all dressed up

31
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: and put on his best classes and held this press conference.

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: He was trying to get ahead of the whole thing.

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: If you're trying to get ahead of it, that implies

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: you think it could be a problem. But apparently the

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: Justice Department making clear nobody was in nobody was doing it.

36
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: They were simply trying to get him to answer the

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: questions they had about the over spending on the building.

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 1: Here's Powell, the threat of criminal charges is a consequence

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our

40
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: following the preferences of the President.

42
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, now there's no truth to that. He's just lying,

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: but he's he knows the politics right now. Fake news

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: will go after Trump. So if you allege something against Trump,

45
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: fake news will back you up. We'll play it up.

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 2: But the fact is nobody was threatening to indict him.

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: Nothing like that was happening. They just simply kept asking

48
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: him for information over and over again, and he refused

49
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: to respond to the Justice Department, and finally in one

50
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: of those letters saying if you just keep refusing, we'll

51
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: have to take some sort of legal remedy. Nobody said

52
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: indictment or anything like that. He is The top economists

53
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: in the world agree, he's the worst FED chairman in decades,

54
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: the worst FED chairman, just horrible.

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: His Caroline Lovitt, the President has every right to criticize

56
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: the FED chair He is a First Amendment right, just

57
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 3: like all of you do. And one thing for sure,

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: the President's made it quite clear is Jerome Powell is

59
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: that at his job. As for whether or not Jerome

60
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 3: Powell is a criminal, that's an answer the Department of

61
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: Justice is going to have to find out.

62
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now it could be not a criminal, it could

63
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: be the ridiculous overspending doesn't mean he stole the money.

64
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: It could just mean he's the most incredibly incompetent, bumbling

65
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: idiot in the world and that's how he let the

66
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: cost get way out of control on that FED building.

67
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: But just the worst, absolute worst FED chairman. Now a

68
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: lot of people think, well, why even bother with him?

69
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: He's gone in two three months. Anyway, he has to

70
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: step down now. Part of the problem is when he

71
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: steps down his FED chairman, he can remain on the

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: FED board, have a vote, have a lot of influence.

73
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: That's unusual. Usually when a FED chairman leaves, he leaves

74
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: the board as well. They don't know what Powell will do,

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: he said, ordinary sort of a guy. But I think

76
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: they're trying to pressure him to make sure that he

77
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: not only steps down as FED chairman, but leaves the

78
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: board as well. So now, by the way, Elizabeth Warren

79
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: made a speech yesterday about the economy, a big economic speech.

80
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: I don't know who looks to Elizabeth Warren for economic speeches,

81
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,559
Speaker 2: but she did it and was not bad. Wasn't bad.

82
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: In fact, after the speech, President Trump called her to

83
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: tell her that he really liked her speech. He was

84
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: very impressed with it. They had a nice conversation. Now

85
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: you know they're not going to suddenly become great friends.

86
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: And who knows why he did it. Maybe you know

87
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: he likes to call his worst enemy, or maybe he

88
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: thinks by having a nice phone conversation, whether it screws

89
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: her up even more with the Democrats. That could be

90
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: the reason too. But she got a lot. She was

91
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: supposed to get a lot of attention from this speech.

92
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: She's supposed to be on Rachel Maddow and Jen Psaki.

93
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: But she's not that important anymore in democratic world. They've

94
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: kind of lost interest in her. They think of her

95
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: as the past, not the future. So after this big speech,

96
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: in this big move yesterday, what did she get on?

97
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: Like the worst thing you can get on at MSNBC,

98
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: like Lawrence O'Donnell at ten o'clock. But here's Warren yesterday.

99
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: We are not short on good ideas and to win,

100
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 4: every Democrat should be proposing concrete plans for lowering costs.

101
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: Sorah mom Donnie came from nowhere and took down a

102
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 4: political dynasty. How he ran a campaign tightly focused on

103
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: the cost of living, with easy to understand platform, free buses,

104
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: freeze the rent, and deliver no cost childcare.

105
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Very easy to understand. Doesn't make any sense, but it's

106
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: also impossible, but very easy to understand. What political dynasty

107
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: did he take down? Eric Adams? That was a dynasty.

108
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: The guy couldn't even run for re election. He had

109
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: to drop out. And again, had Cuomo Andrew Cuomo not

110
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: shown up, the whole thing would have been different. Remember

111
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: when Cuomo first showed up, it was to scare Eric

112
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: Adams out of the Democratic primary, and it worked. He

113
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: scared him out of the Democratic primary, convinced him that

114
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: he had so much money and so much backing Adams,

115
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: and had Adam stayed in, Clomo's the world's worst debater.

116
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: He got slaughtered in both debates by Mom Donnie. Had

117
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: Adam stayed in. He's not the most articulate kind of

118
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: the world, but he's colorful, he's charming. He probably would

119
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: have done better against Mom Donnie and probably would have

120
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: had the Democratic nomination. But Cuomo loses the Democratic nomination,

121
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: He loses, Democrats reject him. He then stays in the

122
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: race as a third party candidate, and it was the

123
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: weirdest situation I've ever seen. Kurt is a major party candidate.

124
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: Curtis is the Republican candidate, and people are telling them,

125
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 2: you have to drop out, you have to drop Why

126
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: would the major party candidate have to drop out for

127
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: a guy in some third party? Nobody knows. It didn't

128
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: make any sense. Hey, Minnesota is going to sue I

129
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: guess the Trump administration for what. I don't know. Let's see,

130
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: this is crazy Mayor Fry. He's their mom, Donnie. Here

131
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: is Donald Trump should know.

132
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 5: As long as federal agents are in our city acting

133
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 5: unconstitutionally against our neighbors, we will continue to push back

134
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 5: with everything we've got.

135
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: Now, is what is he talking about? What's unconstitutional? Law enforcement?

136
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: Enforcing actual laws that are on the books. I don't

137
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: think that's unconstitutional. You're allowed to actually enforce the law.

138
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 4: Hey.

139
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: By the way, federal law supersedes local law. You can

140
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: make all your sanctuary city crazy laws, but federal law

141
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: Trump's local law. And every legal scholar, the Alan Derschwitz's

142
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: our best legal scholars say this lawsuit has absolutely no

143
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: chance of going anywhere. Here's that crazy Attorney General Keith Ellison,

144
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: who should resign immediately. Eighteen billion was stolen in the

145
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: Somali fraud scheme eighteen billion. You know how much that

146
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: is for one state? Eighteen billion goes missing, and this

147
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: guy didn't even notice. Didn't even notice. I mean, you

148
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: should be embarrassed, as in an Attorney general step down.

149
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 5: The deployment of thousands of armed mass DHS agents to

150
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 5: Minnesota has done our state serious harm. This is, in essence,

151
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 5: a federal invasion of the Twin Cities and Minnesota, and

152
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 5: it must stop.

153
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: Okay, well, that's what democrats, that's what they do. Hysteria,

154
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: hyperbolic nonsense.

155
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 5: We allege that the obvious targeting of Minnesota, for our diversity,

156
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 5: for our democracy, and our differences of opinion with the

157
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 5: federal government is a violation of the Constitution and of

158
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 5: federal law.

159
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: It sounds great, you just yell all these things, but

160
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't make any sense. It has no

161
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: chance in a courtroom. Federal law says you arrest the

162
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: illegals and you pick them up, and you take them

163
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: out and get rid of them and take them out

164
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 2: of the country. So it's this is ellison. I guess

165
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: it's the guy behind the lawsuit. And again it has

166
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: absolutely no chance of doing anything in a courtroom. But

167
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: These lunatics think it's good for them politically, so they'll

168
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: they'll keep pursuing it. This the woman Renee Good who

169
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,119
Speaker 2: was shot. Renee Good. Apparently at the Golden Globe Awards,

170
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: all the celebrities were wearing Renee Good pins on their lapel.

171
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's a big thing with these celebrities. At

172
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: an award show, you always have to have a pin.

173
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: You remember, it was the AIDS pin, it was the

174
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: breast cancer pin, it was this pin, which is fine,

175
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: but the Renee Good pin. I mean, basically a crazy lunatic.

176
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: And again, who do you know that would I mean,

177
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: if a cop pulled you over, wouldn't you just be nice, polite, cooperate.

178
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I might know somebody who'd give the

179
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: cop a hard time, who'd argue with the cop or

180
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: yell at it. I might know somebody will do that.

181
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: But who do you know, like Renee Good? Who do

182
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: you know that if there was a caravan of law

183
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 2: enforcement moving up the street, would drive in front of them,

184
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: turn a car sideways, box them in, block them in.

185
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: I mean, when cops see that happen, the car pulls

186
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: up in front, turned sideways, boxes them in. That's usually

187
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: a sign of an ambush coming. That's like drug cartells

188
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: do that to wipe out a witness being transported. But

189
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: who do you know that would have the nerve to

190
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: do that. You got to be absolutely nuts to do

191
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 2: something like that. Though, Hey, yesterday was the second inauguration

192
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: of Bruce Blakeman. He's the Nassau County executive. Nassau County

193
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: for the last four years under Bruce Blakeman came the

194
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: safest crime statistic wise, safest county in America, most successful economically,

195
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: every other measure county in America. He's going to run

196
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: for governor later this year, has got a good chance,

197
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: I think. I mean I would vote from brit for governor.

198
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 2: Being a county executive basically that's being a governor. You're

199
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: the governor of Nassau County. And it's not a little county.

200
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: Nasau County is a major county, three million people there.

201
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: It's bigger than some states, one of the biggest, biggest

202
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: counties in New York and the makeup of it demographically

203
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: and all of that down party lines resembles New York States.

204
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: So the fact that he won big there twice means

205
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: he's got a real good shot in New York. The

206
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: inauguration yesterday phenomenal. He got I would say ten standing ovations.

207
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: He brought in Donald Trump's favorite singers, two great, great singers,

208
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: Mary Milburn and Christopher Macio. Those are the two you

209
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 2: always sing, the very beautiful baradic voices. Singing at mar

210
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 2: A Lago, A big, big ceremony yesterday, a dinner afterwards,

211
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: Mia Posto, great restaurant, owned by some nice people. A

212
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: lot of famous faces there, major political figures, people from

213
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: the business community. Our friend Sid Rosenberg was there. I

214
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: was there. I came in four years ago. Actually I

215
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: was the MC of the thing, but this year they

216
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: didn't have an MC like that, so I came in.

217
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 2: I didn't know where to sit, so I said to

218
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: the woman, is there in an assigned seat? She goes,

219
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: let me look at the list. Oh, you're on the dais. Wow.

220
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: I felt really honored. I mean on the dais next

221
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: to Bruce Blakeman. But then I thought, uh, oh, I

222
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: mean it's an honor, but the whole audience is looking

223
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 2: at you. You can't look at your phone. You got to

224
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: pay attention to all the speeches. You can't do anything

225
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: you have to, but it would turn out to be

226
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: a great, great ceremony. And people love Bruce Blakeman definitely. Actually,

227
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: if you want to help him, go to Bruce Blakeman

228
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: for New York dot Com. You want to volunteer, donate

229
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman from New York dot Com. He's gonna run

230
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 2: against Kathy Hokel and he's much more qualified than Kathy Hokele. Now,

231
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: Kathy Hokel is about to make her State of the

232
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: State speech, and it's interesting. Blakeman is a like kind

233
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: of a middle of the road common sense I mean,

234
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: he's a Republican, but a real common sense Republican, approaches

235
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 2: everything like a businessman. Hokeel tends to. She's like Cuomo.

236
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: She'll go to the left, and if she needs to,

237
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: she'll go to the very far left. Remember people thought

238
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: Cuomo was some sort of moderate. He went so far

239
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: in the left with his no bail, no jail, closed

240
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: the prisons, let everybody out, all his craziness. Don't be

241
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: surprised if she does the same thing she thinks right now.

242
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: Her thinking is she's gonna have to have Mom Donnie support,

243
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: and all the Mom Donnie people behind her. Half the

244
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: votes from New York State are in the City of

245
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: New York, so she's gonna need mom Donnie. So a

246
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 2: lot of people think she'll go no in the State

247
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: of the State speech way far to the left, and

248
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: that she's probably going to announce all sorts of anti

249
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: ice sort of stuff and just sound like a left

250
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: wing kook. So expect that. Hey, speaking of which Democrats

251
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: are going to start, you'll see this developed. They're going

252
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: to start their defund ice movement in Congress, trying to

253
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: officially defund ice. It's not what American citizens want. They

254
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: like ice, they like law enforcement, they don't want to

255
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: defund it. But you know, Democrats, it started years ago

256
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: with defund the police. It's evolved into in recent times,

257
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: run them over with your car. If they go back

258
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: to just defund all right, that's not so bad. Now.

259
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: The President in Detroit, Michigan today, he's going to make

260
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: a big economic speech. There's a big Economic Club of

261
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: New York. That speech is a very important one. Every year,

262
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: believe it or not, there's an Economic Club of Detroit

263
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: and Represident goes there to speak. It's considered a very

264
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: very important event. And President heading there as we speak,

265
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: he'll make a big speech there. He'll tour the Ford Plant.

266
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: So we'll see, we'll talk about we'll get to Iran

267
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: coming up, we'll get to Oh. One more thing. If

268
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: you have a Metro card, you know, they don't use

269
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: him anymore. Metro card. You know it used to be tokens,

270
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: then switched to the Metro card. Now you can just

271
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: use your phone. Just hold your phone up to the

272
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: turnstile and you're in. If you have a Metro card,

273
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 2: do not throw it away. I don't know why, but

274
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: Metro cards are becoming very valuable as collector's items on

275
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: the reseller market. Some are going for up to thirty

276
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars. I guess it's just a piece of history.

277
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: But there's a whole bunch of them on I guess

278
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: eBay and all sorts of places. A twenty twenty five

279
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: card going for thirty five hundred. Even just the worst

280
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: listings they're going for one hundred dollars. Do not throw

281
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: away your Metro card. Keep it. Go online and see

282
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: what you can sell it for. Hey, if you have

283
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: an original iPod or the first iPhone from the first year,

284
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: I think I still have one somewhere. I've looked online

285
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 2: on the ebaying place, so some of those original iPhones

286
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: are selling for like twenty thousand, eighty thousand. The original

287
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: iPod I think is going for like a million dollars. Anyway,

288
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three two one
