1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York. He still Mark 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: sim Own show on sevent tenoo. 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 2: Hey, well it's Thursday already. It's not the greatest day, 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 2: a little rainy. It's gonna get colder. Yeah, it's been 5 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 2: a summer like but it's gonna get cold throughout the day. 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: It'll be down into the thirties tonight and then forties 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 2: tomorrow and fifties over the weekend. But the winter is over. 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: You're nine days away from spring. Spring begins in nine days, 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 2: So a lot to get to today. There's a lot 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: of Epstein fallout. A lot of people are suddenly leaving 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 2: their jobs, their businesses over Epstein. We'll get to that 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: coming up CNN. Totally humiliated. We'll get to the oscars, 13 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: we'll get to well, lots to talk about today. Now. 14 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: The latest in Iran. The Straits of Hormuz is the 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 2: big issue. Tankers trying to move through there. A couple 16 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: got hit. Now, this is gonna be tough to straighten 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: this out, but not that tough. It'll take it'll take 18 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: a week or so to get things going. The problem 19 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: is we've taken out the Iranian Navy, all sixty ships. 20 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: We didn't even think they had sixty ships, but we've 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: taken out the entire Uranian navy. It's non existent. Then 22 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 2: they had sixteen mine laying ships that could plant mines 23 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: in the bottom of the water. There those all sixteen 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 2: have been taken out. They're gone. Here's the other here's 25 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: the problem. Now. If they want to attack ships what's 26 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: left of the regime, they do it in two ways. 27 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: Speedboats loaded with dynamite that can just come out of nowhere, 28 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: and drones. Drones are the hardest thing to defend against 29 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: because we've taken out most of their missiles. Because missile 30 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: requires a launcher, you can see the launcher and blow 31 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: up all the launchers. A drone you can't see. It 32 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: could be hidden in a garage, hidden in a basement. 33 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: You're bring it out of the garage all of a sudden, 34 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: there it is in the air, and it's very hard 35 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: to stop. So there are a lot of drones left, 36 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: less and less every day. But that's the problem with 37 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: the ships. Now, it's going to take a while to 38 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: figure this out. They'll have to take out more drones. 39 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: The only good news with the drones, you can see 40 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: where they came from and take out those locations price 41 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: of oil will go up as a result. We're not 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 2: that dependent on these Rainian oil coming for the Straits 43 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: of Hormus. China is extremely dependent on it, India almost 44 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: totally dependent on it. It's twenty percent of the world's oil. 45 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: And again, we got all the oil we need right here, 46 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: so we're not dependent on it. Just to get the 47 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: price down, a number of nations have decided to open 48 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: up their strategic petroleum reserve and release a couple hundred 49 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: million gallons into the market just to drive the price down. 50 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: You don't need to do it, but they decided to 51 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: do it just to lower the price. The leader of Iran, 52 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 2: the new one, the Iatola's Sun. Normally, if somebody you're 53 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: the new leader of the country, you've just been voted 54 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: the leader of the country, you'd be so thrilled, you'd 55 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: be so this has got to be the worst thing 56 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: had ever happened to anybody, because you know, you've probably 57 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: got two weeks to live now. He was not there 58 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: for his induction ceremony, his installation ceremony two days ago. 59 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: Many many people showed up for it except him. He 60 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: wasn't there, and word is that he's in very bad ship. 61 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: Word is he still in a coma and he had 62 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 2: his leg blown off in one of those original strikes. 63 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 2: His leg has gone amputated. He's still in a coma. 64 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: He's got terrible facial lacerations, so you won't see him 65 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: for a while. He did put out a statement, but 66 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: it's kind of like a Joe Biden's statement. You don't 67 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: know who actually put it out. You know, Biden couldn't 68 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: have put it out, but somebody wrote it up and 69 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: used the auto pen. So this is the same kind 70 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 2: of deal. Now, what do we have to worry about. Well, 71 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: there's a couple of threats on the horizon besides the 72 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: Straits of Hormuse, and by the way, the Iranians have 73 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: expanded that bombing and into the Persian Gulf, so there's 74 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: striking ships wherever they can. But again that'll be mopped 75 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: up and cleaned up in a week or so. But 76 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: the things they're worried about right now cyber attacks here 77 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: in this country. Cyber attacks. The worst thing that could 78 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: target be our banking system, electrical grid. This is something 79 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: scary thought, but we faced this before. They've tried this before, 80 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 2: so we know a little more about how to block it. 81 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: Sleeper cells that could be in this country, terrors, sleeper 82 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: cells that could be activated. That's a problem. You've had 83 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: this wide open border for the last four years, millions 84 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 2: poured across and that's where the sleeper cells would come through. 85 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: That wide open border. The big threat that they're getting 86 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: through intelligence. This doesn't mean it's real, but intelligence sources 87 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 2: are reporting it. The threat is that there'll be drone 88 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: strikes on California. This will come from ships, boats off shore. 89 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 2: The drones would be launched from there. These are unmanned 90 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 2: drones and they can be controlled from thousands of miles away. 91 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: The ships, the boats, they're not ships, they're just boats, 92 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: can be controlled from miles away. They're not even manned. 93 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: They can be controlled from millions of miles away. So 94 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: they're very worried about that drone attacks on California. So 95 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 2: FBI everybody looking for any sign of anything like that. 96 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 2: The President keeps getting attacked. That is mixed messaging, you know, 97 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: it makes all these different statements. He's always speaking to 98 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: the press wherever he is, and some of the messaging 99 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: on Iran is it's contradictory. That's the big complaint. Well, 100 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: that's actually good. Mixed messaging contradictory, not clear, that's good 101 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: for the enemy. You don't want to be clear. You 102 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: don't want to come on television publicly say here's exactly 103 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: what we're going to do. Here's exactly when we're going 104 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 2: to pull out. You never want the enemy to know that. 105 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: So the mixed messaging might annoy the media, but it's 106 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: great as far as handling the enemy. The other attack, well, 107 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: you know, he hasn't clearly explained why we're there. He 108 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: hasn't explained if you need this, explain to you something 109 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: really wrong with you. I mean you you're taking out 110 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: the most evil, brutal, awful leader in the world. You're 111 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: taking out the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world. 112 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: If you need to explain to you why you would 113 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 2: do that, I think you need a lot of help there. 114 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: So we'll keep you up on Iran. It's day day 115 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 2: twelve today, or was it day thirteen today, something like that, 116 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer. Of course, Blumenthal referring it to it as 117 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: an endless war, Well, I don't know. When you're under 118 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 2: two weeks, that's really not an endless war. Hey, that 119 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 2: save act. It's very important for the mid terms. The 120 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: Save Act would make it change everything in the election. 121 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 2: So federal law that would make it required that everybody 122 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 2: has to show ID, IM prove they're an American citizen. 123 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: It's pretty easy nowadays to prove that. Most people now 124 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: have an enhanced driver's license that real ID. You just 125 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: prove you're a citizen. You show the documents, you prove 126 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 2: you're a citizen. You vote the way it's been as 127 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: anybody can vote. We've seen lots of examples of people 128 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: who weren't citizens who were caught voting. So the Save 129 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: Act would require it. Some states do require ID. Many 130 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: states require ID, but I think about thirty eight states 131 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: require ID. I got to prove your citizen. But then 132 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: there's some Blue states that if you're breathing close enough 133 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: you can will let you vote. And they want to 134 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: make it a federal requirement that every state has to 135 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: have only American citizens voting. And the Senator John Thunne 136 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: and the Senate has made a mess of this, screwed 137 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: up the whole thing. There's going to be a vote, 138 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: doesn't look like it'll succeed. Schumer, everybody was a little surprised, 139 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: actually said the quiet part out loud. Why would Democrats 140 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 2: oppose this? They come up with these weird explanations. One 141 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: was that, well, minority voters they can't get ID Huh, 142 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: they're too stupid. They don't know how to get an ID. 143 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: They're incapable of finding out how to get an idea 144 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: or drivers, which is absolutely ridiculous, not to mention one 145 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: of the most racist things you could say. Then they 146 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: tried this divorced women won't be able to vote, something 147 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: to do with their maiden name, this name, which makes 148 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: no sense at absolutely no sense at all. The real 149 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: reason is if you're illegal, you're not gonna be able 150 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: to vote anywhere. But Schumer, in one of those rants 151 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 2: he's got the every every year the glasses get bigger 152 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 2: and nice had this really really big glasses on actually 153 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: said the quiet part out loud. 154 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 3: Yes, but their bill isn't voter ID number one. It 155 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: is about voter registration. It makes it. It allows ICE 156 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 3: to kick tens of millions of people off the rolls, 157 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 3: off the rolls, and they don't tell them until election day, 158 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 3: and you show them and you say you're not registered anymore. 159 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: You're not registered here, you're not on the rolls. 160 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if ice kick them off the rolls because 161 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: they're not an American citizen. And Schumer says it's tens 162 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: of millions. Is sometimes Democrats like, wow, the voter fraud 163 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: is very, very minor, it's very small. Well, if he's 164 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 2: saying it's tens of millions, it's not so small. So well, 165 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: let's see tomorrow's day. It's not going to go well 166 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: tomorrow for that vote. Hey, the Epstein stuff, Boy, there's 167 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: a lot more fallout with Epstein, more and more and more. 168 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 2: As you just heard them the news. Steve Tish was 169 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: all over the Epstein files talking to Epstein about women, 170 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: about this woman, that woman, this girl, that girl. Is 171 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: she a pro? Is she not? It's pretty seedy kind 172 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: of conversation he was having with Epstein. So it's now 173 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 2: been agreed that Steve Tish will transfer his ownership of 174 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: the Giants. He's got something like twenty percent of the team, 175 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: twenty five percent of the team. He will transfer it 176 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: actually to him and his sister Laurie, brother Jonathan. They 177 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 2: will transfer it to the next generation, to their kids. 178 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: Actually they had forty five percent ownership share. They'll put 179 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: it into a trust and the kids will now own 180 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: the trust, and the trust will have no voting or control. 181 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 2: They'll just have some ownership, but no control or voting 182 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: or say in the running of the Giants. One reason 183 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: they're doing this now is there's going to be the 184 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: NFL owner's Spring meeting later this month, and they thought 185 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 2: that maybe the owners would go nuts over this Steve 186 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: Tish Epstein connection. So to get ahead of that, Tish 187 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 2: is bowing out. He'll be out of the Giants. The 188 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: Mara family. John Merrow really runs at They're great people, 189 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 2: so everything's good with the Giants. So he's gone. As 190 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: a result, you got people all over the country, got 191 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 2: Larry Summers having to leave Harvard. Casey Washerman is one 192 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 2: of the biggest major figures in Hollywood, having a step 193 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 2: down from the company he founded, having a step down 194 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: as the Olympic chairman for Los Angeles. Now here's a 195 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 2: guy who he's okay here, I think Jeffrey Epstein wanted 196 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 2: to do damage control twenty fourteen. This was after the 197 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 2: first time he got convicted for this disgusting stuff. But 198 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen that Virginia Jeffrey was doing that civil 199 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: lawsuit where she was accusing of all kinds of stuff. Remember, 200 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: there was tremendous, awful bad news coverage of this, so 201 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 2: he wanted to do some damage control. So Epstein talked 202 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: to Larry Summers, a big part of the Clinton administration, 203 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: former Harvard president, all of that, and Larry Summer said, 204 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 2: you ought to hire Joe Lockhart, the ex Press secretary. 205 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 2: He'll help you with damage control pr public image. So 206 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: epstein'sid all right, set it up, and Summers put the 207 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 2: two of them together. So Lockhart looked like, ooh, we 208 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: may have an Epstein problem, but if you study the 209 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: stuff here, it's pretty clear. Lockhart was not interested, declined. 210 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: The offer. Never worked for Epstein, so he cleared himself. 211 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: Now the other people having some problem problems. There's some 212 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: very very big doctors and medical people all over New 213 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 2: York City. You know, you got your regular doctors, then 214 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 2: you got your concierge doctors give you a lot more service. 215 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: Then you get your real high end concierge doctors. And 216 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: these guys, you know, you got their cell number. Anytime 217 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: you need them twenty four to seven, you can call them. 218 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 2: They'll get you right into any hospital. They'll make house calls, 219 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 2: do it whatever you need. So there were a few 220 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: of them that Epstein got a hold of it and 221 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: started paying a fortune to tens of thousands of dollars 222 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 2: for every little thing. So there were a couple that 223 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: Epstein had taken care of him, taking care of the 224 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: girls and taking care of them, all kinds of stuff. Yes, 225 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: sexually transmitted diseases with one of them, but sometimes they'd 226 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 2: come in with bruises and they were bashed up. And 227 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 2: some of these doctors, Epstein wanted them to be anonymous. 228 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: In other words, if you have an account with the 229 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 2: concierge doctor, you have to list everybody that's going to 230 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: be treated. Well, some of them were just listed anonymously, 231 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 2: and apparently that's unethical. You're not supposed to do that 232 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: if you're a doctor. So some of those guys have 233 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 2: a problem. Goes beyond the doctors he was. I won't 234 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: mention any hospitals, but he was making deals with hospitals 235 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 2: so we could use their emergency room. And even more 236 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: than that. You can go in the New York Times 237 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: and read these articles. They've had a lot of coverage 238 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 2: of it this past week. But with some of these hospitals, 239 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: they would send the team over to his house to 240 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 2: treat the women. Here's the one woman here who seemed 241 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 2: to have her skull bashed a little and required a 242 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 2: lot of stitches. So you see a picture of the 243 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 2: laid her out on the dining room table. The team 244 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: from the hospital came over to Epstein's house and stitched 245 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: her up right there on the dining room table. There's 246 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 2: other situations where a girl got hurt in Epstein's depraved 247 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: whatever he was doing, and the doctors were asked to 248 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: take her to another place, like to New Jersey or 249 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: somewhere so there'd be no Epstein connection, and take her 250 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: into a hospital under another name. So a lot of 251 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 2: these people getting caught in all this stuff. There's more 252 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: and more evidence. Now, you know, disgusting enough these young girls, 253 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: but there's more and more evidence that whatever weird sexual 254 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 2: things were going on, people were getting injured. So some 255 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: of these girls shown up bruised, bleeding, that sort of 256 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 2: really bad stuff. And as we told you yesterday, Epstein 257 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 2: had this magnificent ranch in New Mexico, and there are 258 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: now nothing is confirmed, but they're now sources of saying 259 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: some people died. Some girls might have died in some 260 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: rough sex and they're buried on the ranch. So officials 261 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 2: are now actually seriously looking at digging up the grounds 262 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: of that ranch looking for that that's developing story, but 263 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 2: again nothing is confirmed yet, nothing is confirmed. Anyway, We've 264 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: got a lot to get to today. We'll take some calls. 265 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: Next eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is 266 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: the number.

Mark? 293 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: Let me check? Not bad? Not bad. 294 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 4: So I have a question. I keep seeing people on 295 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 4: social media a lot and people saying that the reason, 296 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 4: you know, Trump even offered help to Spana Guthrie was 297 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 4: to distract from the Epstein files coming out, and he's 298 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 4: in it, and I ran as a distraction. But I 299 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 4: know you looked at it more. I haven't looked through 300 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 4: all of them. He's only mentioned in the context of 301 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 4: like real estate, right, like there's nothing. 302 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,239 Speaker 2: No, he's mentioned a lot, But what he's mentioned for 303 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 2: is apparently Epstein hated him and Epstein is just bad 304 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 2: mouthing him like crazy. There's a lot of this creepy, 305 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 2: awful tabloid guy Michael Wolfe who writes these evil books 306 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 2: about Trump. He and Epstein are talking back and forth 307 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: all day. But how much they hate Trump. So that's 308 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 2: most of what's in there. But yeah, are you in 309 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: the Epstein files? Did you check? 310 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 4: I don't think so? 311 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Dan, A good call, Thanks for calling. Yeah, 312 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 2: you can go just google Epstein files. It'll take you 313 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 2: a Department of Justice website, the Epstein Library. There's a 314 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: search bar and you can search your name. So I'm 315 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: searching all these people I know who were tangled up 316 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 2: with Epstein, and they came up, and then I don't 317 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 2: know why, just hell of it, type my name and 318 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 2: I came up. I'm in there five or six times. 319 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 2: So nothing bad, nothing bad. He was coming to some event. 320 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 2: I was m saying there was an email that mentioned me, 321 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: mentioned my show. Nothing bad, So I started typing it everybody. 322 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 2: So and they put up all of his American Express 323 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 2: bills in the files. So everybody I know who has 324 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 2: a restaurant, I'd sure enough the restaurant would come up 325 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: because it's in a an America Express bill. You'd be 326 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 2: shocked how many people come up in there. But a 327 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: lot of it is harmless. But the every time Trump 328 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 2: does anything, it's a distraction from the Epstein files. Trump's 329 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: the only guy that has nothing to worry about in 330 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: the Epstein files. He's clean in those Epstein files. I've 331 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 2: looked through him. Everybody's looked through him for that. There's 332 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 2: nothing on him in there. Let's go to Rich in 333 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: Myrtle Beach.

Trump in the history of this country? And 337 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 5: they still can't find anything on the guy. The guy's 338 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 5: squeaky clean, and they just won't let it go. Yeah. 339 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: No, I have known the guy for a million years. 340 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 2: You know, you always suspect, Oh, there must be something. 341 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 2: He's well squeaky clean from Jack Smith, the prosecutor he had. 342 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 2: Remember he had four federal prosecutors. Okay, four years. They 343 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 2: cannot find a damn thing. One reason for that. You'll 344 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 2: find this with a lot of billionaires. It's not that 345 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: they're the most honorable people on earth. They just know 346 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 2: they're a target and they make sure they're They won't 347 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 2: even smoke a Cuban cigar. They're that careful about that 348 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 2: stuff that's right. 349 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 5: And so John soon guy is really becoming a big disappointment. 350 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 5: McConnell was actually pretty good for a while. McConnell doesn't 351 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 5: even know where we use anymore. Staff is running his seat. 352 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 5: But was John feeling like McConnell's right hand man? Is 353 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 5: that why he ended up being the Senate leader? And 354 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 5: they're going to make a change you think? Are they're 355 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 5: going to stick around with this guy? Yeah? 356 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: I mean they're all kind of wormy characters. You know, 357 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: you look at that Congress, the Senate, they the House, Republicans, Democrats, 358 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 2: they're the worst people.

In 366 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 2: Congress You know, if you ever watch the Fox Business 367 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 2: or CNBC, you know they have these CEOs come on, 368 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 2: these big business leaders and you know who they are, 369 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 2: some big CEO and they'll be very impressive.

I'm hoping 404 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 5: we we get this war over with in a successful way. 405 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 5: And I ran so we can see the price of 406 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 5: gasoline go back down to where it was, and. 407 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: I expect that. 408 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 5: Fully. I agree with Trump that once we get the 409 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 5: straits of Hormos open, and once we start to get 410 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 5: some of the infrastructure rebuilt that was bombed by the Iranians, 411 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 5: we're going to be headed right back to low gas 412 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,719 Speaker 5: prices that we had before the war started, and with 413 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 5: Trump's pro drill baby drill policies. 414 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, we're having a temporary spike. It's not 415 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: as bad as the Biden days, but it's a spike. 416 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: And in the end, if everything works out successfully, we 417 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 2: could have lower gas prices than we had a month ago. Right, 418 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 2: we could. 419 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 5: We may, We may very well. And look, the world 420 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 5: is a wash in energy and better way. This is 421 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 5: pretty amazing that the number one country that produces oil 422 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 5: and gas you know what country that is? 423 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 2: United States? Yeah, well there now. 424 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 5: The number one producer of oil and gas, you know 425 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 5: that from reading the hotline right this morning. And we've 426 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 5: surpassed Saudi Arabia and even more amazingly, I was shocked 427 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 5: about this, and that we are now a net exporter 428 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 5: of oil gas for the first time in forty years. 429 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 5: In other words, we're producing more oil and gas than 430 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 5: with than we consume. So you know, this drill baby 431 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 5: drill strategy works. But there's a global price. See, people 432 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 5: are confused about why is it that the price of 433 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 5: gas has gone up here even though it hasn't disrupted 434 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 5: our supplies of oil and gas, just to gas and 435 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 5: oil in the Middle East. And the answer is because 436 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 5: it's a global So you know, even though we're producing 437 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 5: as much oil and gas as ever here in the US, 438 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 5: when you get a big disruption like you're seeing in 439 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 5: the in the Middle East with the Saudi Arabian oil, 440 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 5: et cetera, that that will cause the price to rise everywhere. 441 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 5: So but anyway, it's a it's a policy. Can you imagine, 442 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 5: by the way, mark, if we had not done drill, 443 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 5: baby drill, we'd be paying eight nine dollars a barrel 444 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 5: of gas. And by the way, I was on a 445 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 5: radio show this morning in California. There are some gas 446 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 5: stations they're paying eight bucks a gallon in California. 447 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, their average is over five dollars. Now that is 448 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 2: mostly due to Newsome in his climate change nonsense. 449 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 5: That's right, that's right. So this is what's so ironic 450 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 5: is Gvin Newsom, who's you know, the leading contender for 451 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 5: the Democratic nomination in twenty twenty eight, running around the country, 452 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 5: is saying, oh, you know, Donald Trump is causing gas 453 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,959 Speaker 5: prices to rise. I'm like, wait a minute, you know, 454 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 5: where are the gas prices the highest in California by 455 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 5: a mile. You know, they're about a dollar fifty above 456 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 5: the national average, and gas prices there because of his 457 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 5: own policies, and then he blames on Trump for that. 458 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 5: But look, I'm confident we're going to see these prices 459 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 5: come down, you know, in a few weeks, and that'll 460 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 5: be blessed relief. 461 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. Newsome also his state, California has a 462 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 2: seventy cents a gallon tax on guests. How do they 463 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: testify something like that. 464 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a big debate in the in the legislature 465 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 5: there in California about why don't we suspend the gas 466 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 5: tax for a while while, you know, and then when 467 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 5: they and the Democrats all voted that down. You know, 468 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 5: by the way, it's the Blue states that have the 469 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 5: highest the gas prices. So the states with the highest 470 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 5: gas prices there are California number one, Washington State number two, 471 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 5: Hawaii number three, Oregon number four. You know, you just 472 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 5: go down the list, and New Jersey has high taxes. Incidentally, 473 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 5: there's another story related to this, because I know you 474 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 5: have so many listeners in the New York metropolitan area 475 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 5: New Jersey. Did you see that the New Jersey is 476 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 5: losing one of its oil companies that's moving, I believe, 477 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 5: to Texas. Gee, what a shock. Yeah, And I think 478 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 5: it's the exon of New Jersey. And so you know, 479 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 5: Standard Oil was basically practically founded in New Jersey and 480 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 5: now they're moving out. I mean it just shows these 481 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 5: high tax states are getting killed by the low tax 482 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 5: blue states. 483 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 2: Even the founder, as you report, the founder of Starbucks, 484 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 2: Howard Schultz, is leaving Washington State to move to Floridat 485 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: does you everything you see that happen? 486 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's funny. And by the way, Schultz 487 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 5: is a liberal guy. I mean he's a bleeding heart liberal. 488 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 5: And even he's moving the low states up. That means 489 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 5: you're going to see a lot of billionaires moving to 490 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 5: Texas and Florida and Tennessee and states that don't impose 491 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 5: income taxes. And that's why, by the way, New Jersey, 492 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 5: you know, until the I think it was around the 493 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 5: mid nineteen sixties, did not have an income tax, and 494 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 5: it might have been the early seventies day about the 495 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 5: income tax. So now you have in New Jersey as 496 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 5: the one of the highest income taxes in the country. 497 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 5: And gee, is it surprising people are leaving New York, 498 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 5: New Jersey, Connecticut with the high income taxes. I don't 499 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 5: think it is. Yeah. 500 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 2: Now for a young Democrats listening right, I'll explain this 501 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 2: to them. Florida, no income tax, Texas, no income text. 502 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 2: Yet they're booming, aren't they. 503 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, and they have a lot of their budget surpluses, 504 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 5: whereas New York, New Jersey, Connecticut are struggling with the 505 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 5: highest income taxes to balance the budgets. 506 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 2: And what's the secret to that? Just hold your costs down, 507 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 2: control your budget. 508 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 5: Well, if you have if you have nine states that 509 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 5: have no income taxes, we do in the United States, 510 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 5: and they're going twice as fast as the states that 511 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 5: have high income taxes. Do you know the answer to this? 512 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 5: Maybe those high income tax states when they want to 513 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 5: lower their income tax rates, But in New York and 514 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 5: New Jersey they talk about raising them again. California is 515 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 5: talking about an eight percent wealth tax on top of 516 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,479 Speaker 5: the highest income tax. I mean, these Democrats, all they 517 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 5: want to do is tax, tax, tax, spend, span spend. 518 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, Steve Moore in the Hotline today, this is 519 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: a great idea. The TSA. You talk about privatizing them. 520 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 2: It makes perfect sense. Wouldn't that save us a fortune 521 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 2: and be more efficient? 522 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean people are very frustrated with how long 523 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 5: it takes to get through the I travel a lot. 524 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 2: I know you do, and I know a lot of. 525 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 5: Your listeners do. And you know when you go to 526 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 5: the TSA now, especially that the government, that agency of 527 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 5: government has been shut down, thank you, Chuck Schumer. It's 528 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 5: at some point some cities it's taking two to three 529 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 5: hours to get through TSA and to get through the 530 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 5: security that if we had a privatized system, you could 531 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 5: get through in fifteen minutes. 532 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 2: Really and save a lot of money in the process. 533 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 5: Wouldn't we You would save a lot of money. Yep. 534 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah. But when they the airline businesses, the 535 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 2: Trump has always said the worst business in the world. 536 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: You're always going to lose money in the airline business. 537 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean the airports have to be running inefficiently. 538 00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: That's a whole different business, isn't it. 539 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, Why does the government have to run airports? They 540 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 5: don't run anything very well. They don't run the postal 541 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 5: service very well. They can't balance the budget, they can't 542 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 5: fight crime, they can't do any of the financial stuff. 543 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 5: So why would we why would we turn over that 544 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 5: operation to UH to government employees. I guarantee you we'd 545 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 5: have a much more efficient system if if the airports 546 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 5: and the and the and the TSA security was done 547 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 5: by private employees. And by the way, the reason the 548 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 5: Democrats don't want to do that is because they're all 549 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 5: government employees and they're all members of unions. 550 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 2: Well, if you want to read stories like the great 551 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 2: news and analysis, the best daily briefing comes from the 552 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 2: Committee to Unleashed Prosperity.
