1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Mark simonem On sevent wr. 2 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's January twentieth, one year anniversary of the 3 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 2: Trump administration. Was one year ago today that he took office, 4 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: and in the first year he's done what most presidents 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: would get done in eight years. Some good, some bad, 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 2: Some people love and some it drives them nuts. The 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 2: Trump de arrangement syndrome is out there, and as I said, 8 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 2: the Left is now calling it Trump exhaustion syndrome. They 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: love attacking anything he does, but it's fifty things a day. 10 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: It's driving them crazy. Greenland especially. Let me just explain 11 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 2: a couple of things about Greenland. There's no possibility of 12 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: any military action there, just a negotiating thing that he does, 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: and he's getting the left going crazy. He sent a 14 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: letter to the Denmark about but he opened with since 15 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: I didn't get the Nobel Prize. There's no connection between 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: Greenland and the Nobel Prize. It's just negotiating. I've watched 17 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: him do this for thirty years. That's how you start 18 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: a negotiation with him. He hits you with forty seven things. 19 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: It's like a million things are coming at you once. 20 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 2: You don't know what to respond to first. It's an 21 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: amazing thing to watch. He has different ways of negotiating. 22 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: You know, Normally, if you go into a negotiation, at 23 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 2: some point the other side might threaten to sue you. 24 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 2: But if it's Trump, he'll start with the law. He'll 25 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: sue you first, then start negotiating. So he like, it's 26 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: one negotiating technique he uses. He starts like a def 27 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 2: con one. That way, you're in total panic and he's calm. 28 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: He's used to that kind of environment, and it just 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: screws up the other side. But there's no threat of 30 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: military action. That's not going to happen. He'll be at 31 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: Davos for two days, three days, and the big thing 32 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: at Davos is what they call the sidelines. On the 33 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: sidelines they talk and the trip they make deals, so 34 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: a lot of that get settled there. Hey. In Iran, 35 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: the protests continue. Iranian doctors. Iranian doctors are saying they 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: believe the death toll is over sixteen thousand protesters between 37 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: sixteen thousand and eighteen thousand. Most of the victims killed 38 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: believed to be younger than thirty. But this is coming 39 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 2: from doctors at eight major hospitals and sixteen emergency centers. Again, 40 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: they believe it's over sixteen thousand protesters killed. Now, why 41 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 2: don't you hear more about this? Well, because they're not 42 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: protesting Trump. So if they were protesting Trump, you'd be 43 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 2: hearing about it NonStop, twenty four to seven. If one 44 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: of them was even pushed, you'd hear about this. But 45 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: sixteen thousand killed, Left couldn't care less, pays no attention 46 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 2: to it now. Apparently, over at CBS News, in an 47 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: editorial meeting, the new head who was brought in to 48 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: clean it up and try to turn it into an 49 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: actual news news organization instead of just a left wing 50 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: propaganda site, said that in the editorial meetings, so why 51 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 2: aren't we covering more about Iran, about the protesters. This 52 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: is big news, This is a big international development. The 53 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 2: CBS News team doesn't want to spend any time on this. 54 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: They don't want to waste time on this when they 55 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: can be attacking Trump. And apparently at one point in 56 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: the meeting, the new head of CBS actually said, hey, 57 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: how about actually covering the news, which they didn't like hearing, 58 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: but it's a pretty good idea. Again, expect Don Lemon 59 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: and those criminals that entered the church illegally and disrupted 60 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: the ceremony. Expect them to most likely get indicted. It's 61 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: something Common Justice Department is preparing charges against those protesters, 62 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: so expect that to happen soon. Hey, Mikey Cheryl, the 63 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 2: New Jersey governor takes office today. It's not a good 64 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: thing for New Jersey. You never thought you'd miss Phil Murphy, 65 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: did you? But or as I heard Curtis call him 66 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: the half in the bag Phil, half in the bag 67 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: Phil Murphy. But Mikey Cheryl vows that you will put 68 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: the state on the front lines of anti Trump movement. 69 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: I guess, listen, if you live in New Jersey, got 70 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 2: a lot of problems. You got high taxes, you got 71 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 2: corruption everywhere in government, you got all these problems. The 72 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: last thing you need is to go to war with 73 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: the federal government. But that's what she's proposing. And I 74 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: don't know why Cheryl, Mikey Cheryl is not even on 75 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: Trump's radar, but she's indicated she's hoping to become a 76 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 2: thorn in his side and make the Garden State a 77 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: model for fighting him, which is absolutely totally irresponsible of 78 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: a governor. You depend on an administration for federal funding 79 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: for all that sort of stuff. Starting a war with 80 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 2: him serves no purpose. But here's Mikey Cheryl. 81 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 3: My message is that the area I represent is responsible 82 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 3: for an incredible amount of innovation for the nation's economy. 83 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: And to continue to punish the people of New Jersey, who, 84 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 3: by the way, send seventy billion dollars more in federal 85 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: taxes to the government than we receive back, to continue 86 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: to attack opportunity, innovation, schools, jobs, cost of living is madness. 87 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, see that's a problem. She said, we send 88 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: more money to the federal government than we get back. 89 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 2: That's the cry of the amateur who doesn't know anything 90 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 2: about how any of this works. I mean, remember that 91 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: we had have was it a senate candidate here in 92 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 2: New York. That was her whole campaign. We're sending more 93 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: money to the federal government than we get back. Now 94 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: that's a real idiot. Amateur doesn't understand anything that's good. 95 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: That's good, that means you're prospering and doing well, you're 96 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: making a ton of money. How much you send to 97 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 2: the federal government is about how much income tax people 98 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 2: have to pay here, which is about how much they earned. 99 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: If you're sending a lot of money in the federal 100 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: government means you earned a lot of money and it 101 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 2: was great. There are some states that get more money 102 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: from the federal government than they send in. Now, how 103 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 2: is that possible? Because in those states people aren't making 104 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: any money, their income is extremely low, and many of 105 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: them are on welfare. Many of them are getting subsidies 106 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: because they're doing so badly. So if you're ever a 107 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 2: state getting more money from the government than you send in, 108 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: it means you're a welfare case. It's the worst thing 109 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: in the world. But the fact that Mikey Cheryl said 110 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 2: that means she really doesn't understand any of this stuff. 111 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 3: Here's more, And I can guarantee you, after spending a 112 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 3: year and speaking to thousands of people across the state, 113 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 3: that there is not one person in New Jersey that 114 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: wakes up in the morning and says, gee, I hope 115 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 3: to day's the day that the president dumps billions of 116 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: dollars into buying Greenland while my grocery store costs continue 117 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 3: to go up. 118 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 4: That's a trade. 119 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: Nobody wants that trade. 120 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I see, that's another problem. I realize she's just 121 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 2: a crazy Trump derangement syndrome. Person. But ices have been 122 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 2: coming down steadily all year. Ever since Trump took office. 123 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: Grocery prices have been coming down. The fact that she 124 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: doesn't know that, well, that makes her look a little 125 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: out of touch with everything. 126 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 4: I said. 127 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: The protesters have been peaceful, but ICE hasn't been there. 128 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: Are you see protesters have been peaceful, I don't know. 129 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: I mean, they're not shooting anybody, but they're committing crimes 130 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: left and right. You're not allowed to drive your car 131 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: into the middle of an ICE operation and block the street. 132 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: You're not allowed to try to hit an ICE officer 133 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 2: with your car. I wouldn't defend it. I mean, remember 134 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: have had Renee Good not been shot, she would be 135 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: in prison for the next five to seven years. 136 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 4: I said. 137 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 3: The protesters have been peaceful, but ICE hasn't been. They're 138 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 3: assaulting people on the street. They're busting through windows and cars. 139 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 3: People are driving their kids home from basketball practice getting 140 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 3: tear gassed people. 141 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you see again the fact that the government would 142 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: a governor just lie like this. Nobody the ICE is 143 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: not going up the cars and busting windows. You'd have 144 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: to drive into their operation disrupt it. They would then 145 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: have to order you to get out of the car. 146 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: You'd have to refuse to get out of the car. 147 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: You'd have to refuse to comply, you'd have to resist arrest. 148 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: If you refuse to get out of there, then they 149 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: would bust the window. So she's lying about. 150 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 3: That are getting shot and killed by these out of 151 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: control proto military agents. And I think the president's trying. 152 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: I don't know what all it means, but it sounded good. 153 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 2: These proto military age, proto military whatever. 154 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: The hell that is trying to incite the protesters so 155 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 3: that he can take America's eyes off the fact that 156 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: his militia that he's building around this country is actually 157 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 3: attacking American citizens. 158 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: Uh, you're laughing at us from Momdani, Now we can 159 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 2: laugh at you. You got this wacko left winger describing 160 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 2: actual federal law enforcement as a militia. I think you're 161 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 2: gonna have more of a problem with this woman and 162 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: that we're going to have with Mom. Donnie. Now, the 163 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: idea of ICE agents being sent into the cities arresting people, 164 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: starting with the criminal illegals. Who would come up with 165 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: such a thing, Well, Barack Obama did it all the time. 166 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 2: To the tune of a couple million over his eight years. 167 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 2: Barack Obama did it all the time, exactly the same operations, 168 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: exactly the same thing with ice, and he deported them. 169 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: Nobody said a word. Why it was a Democrat but 170 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 2: Barack Obama. Actually, Obama could suit Trump for plagiarism. Everything 171 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 2: Trump is doing comes from the Obama administration. 172 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 5: Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that 173 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 5: they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous. 174 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 5: That's why over the past six years, deportations of criminals 175 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 5: are up eighty percent, and that's why we're going to 176 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 5: keep focusing enforcement resources on actual threats to our security. 177 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, try to name something down Trump has done in 178 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: office that Obama or Clinton didn't do or Biden. I 179 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: don't think you can do it. I think it's possible. 180 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 2: Everything you hate that he's done, Obama did it, Clinton 181 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 2: did it. Everything he said the Democrats said, he is 182 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 2: Bill Clinton. 183 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 6: All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, 184 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 6: but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed 185 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 6: by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. 186 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 6: The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens 187 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 6: or legal immigrants. The public service they use impost burdens 188 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 6: on our taxpayers. 189 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: That's why our administration has. 190 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 6: Moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a 191 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 6: record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as 192 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 6: many criminal aliens as ever before. 193 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: Just think about this. If John F. Kennedy came back 194 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: to life and saw today's Democratic Party, the screaming nutjob, 195 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: ridiculous looking women in Minnesota attacking Ice. If John F. 196 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: Kennedy came back to life today and his Democratic Party, 197 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: he just start to cry. Also, Al Sharpton out picketing 198 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 2: with the nurses. Can you imagine Martin Luther King coming 199 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 2: back to life. Imagine Martin Luther King comes back and 200 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: see who's running things now, Al Sharpton. 201 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 7: Martin Luther King died in Memphis fighting for wages for 202 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 7: garbage workers, and I believe he would want those of 203 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 7: us to come in his tradition, to be standing with nurses. 204 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 2: I don't think Martin Luther King if he came back 205 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: and saw Al Sharpton flying around those private jets, glombing 206 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: money out of corporations, showing up at problems, getting paid 207 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: to go away, I don't think Martin Luther King would 208 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 2: be for that. Now you want the strangest story in 209 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: the news, try to figure this one out. Jeb Bush 210 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 2: heaping praise on Donald Trump. Jeb Bush heaps praise on 211 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 2: Trump's unprecedented support for Iranians. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush 212 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 2: credited his former foe President Donald Trump for historic leadership. 213 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 2: Now what the hell is this all about? Now? Nobody 214 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: hated the Donald Trump more than the Bushes. And I 215 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: don't blame them. I mean, not that they should hate them, 216 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 2: but I can understand why they would hate him. The 217 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: Trump campaign began, he knocked out the Hillary Clinton, the 218 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 2: Clinton dynasty, but the Bush dynasty that's been around for 219 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: forty years. They thought that Trump, a little amateur Trump, 220 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: would have no chance against the Bush dynasty. But he 221 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: just wiped out the Bush dynasty, ended the careers of 222 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 2: the Bushes of Jeb Bush. So they had every reason 223 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 2: to be furious bitter. That's why Carl Rove all the 224 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 2: Bushies all hate Trump so much. Why all of a 225 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 2: sudden would Donald Trump get praised by Jeb Bush. Why 226 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 2: would Jeb Bush by be calling Trump a historic leader 227 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: buttering him up praising him? What the hell could that 228 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 2: be all about. Well, if I had a guess, the 229 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: only time I've run into Jeb Bush over the last 230 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: few years since Trump took office, I'd see him. He'd 231 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 2: run into him here in New York, usually in a 232 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 2: restaurant where he would be at a table with a 233 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 2: bunch of very very very top level business guys with bushy. 234 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 2: Bush would come to New York be meeting with these 235 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 2: top top business guys who want to do something and 236 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 2: energy and oil and business. So I would assume he's 237 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 2: a kind of lobbying for them. Why would they bring 238 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: Bush in. Jeb Bush not exactly the greatest business brain 239 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 2: in America, but if he convinced him he could get 240 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 2: things done for them, There's a lot of money. There's 241 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: millions and millions and millions in lobbying fees, and yeah, 242 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 2: even the Bushes need to make some money, need to 243 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 2: earn some money. So I would think Jeb maybe all 244 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 2: that business dried up. He's trying to get back in 245 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 2: good graces of Trump, maybe even show up in the 246 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: White House, have a picture or two of Trump, and 247 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 2: then all these big business guys will start meeting with 248 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: them even more, paying them even more. To lobby on 249 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: their behalf. Hey, a great thing happened in Palm Beach 250 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 2: over the weekend. They decided to rename the street, the 251 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 2: one that leads to the airport. It's a stretch of 252 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: Southern Boulevard from the airport. Tomorrow a lago, they're going 253 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: to rename it and put up the street signs President 254 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump Boulevard, President Donald J. Trump Boulevard. This 255 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: is very important because it will make many of the 256 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: remaining liberals left wingers that live in Palm Beach absolutely 257 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 2: nuts every time they drive down the street to have 258 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: to see those signs. I can think of a couple 259 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: I know a few people that are the biggest Trump 260 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: paters on Earth. They live on Palm Beach and they're 261 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: always going to the air and they have to drive 262 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: down that road. So every time they drive down there, 263 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 2: they'll see President Donald J. Trump Boulevard. Now, a couple 264 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: of them that I know live in one of those 265 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 2: Trump buildings. Uh. Trump built three beautiful high rise apartment 266 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: buildings on the inner coastal many many years ago. It's 267 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: called the Trump Palm Beach or something. A couple of 268 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 2: them living there that I know, the biggest Trumpeter, what 269 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 2: do they do well? They had the name removed from 270 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: the building. They feel better now, but they won't be 271 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 2: able to remove these street signs. They're going to be 272 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: there for years. Hey, we'll take some calls. We'll do that. 273 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 2: Next eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten 274 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: is the number.

The college 319 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: basketball scandal? 320 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, these are these students on the team, and there 321 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 2: were bad teams. They got paid like ten thousand each 322 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 2: to lose the game. Make it even worse than people 323 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: thought it would be, right. 324 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: The same old story. But I have yet to hear 325 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: any names of colleges or players. 326 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I thought it was pretty good on their part. 327 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 2: I mean, good for them showing innovation. They make ten 328 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 2: thousand a game, these students. You don't think it was good. Well, 329 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: it's a losing team. They're expected to lose by twenty points. 330 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 2: But these bookmakers want to have them be so bad 331 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 2: that they lose by forty points and would help the 332 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 2: book makers.

The socialist always makes a fortune. Who's the 363 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 2: biggest socialist in government. Bernie Sanders, how many homes does 364 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: he have now? Four homes, four big mansions. He's doing 365 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 2: very very well. He and his wife made millions and 366 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 2: millions millions on these campaigns. Bill Deblasio and his wife. 367 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: Remember they started that program Thrive NYC. One billion dollars 368 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: went missing. This happens all the time, this daycare fraud 369 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 2: thing in Minnesota.

You're 371 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 2: going to find a lot of that money went into 372 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: a lot of public officials pockets. It happens all the time. 373 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 2: Watch for it to happen with mom, Donnie. That's why 374 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 2: he's talking about a billion dollar program to do this, 375 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: a billion dollar program to do that. There's skimming and 376 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 2: money going sideways on those programs that socialists always end 377 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 2: up wealthy.

Lots going on, Mark, Hey. 391 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 2: It's one year today. The inauguration of Donald Trump was 392 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: one year ago. First year today. What do you think 393 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 2: is that? Have you ever seen anything as busy as 394 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 2: this first year? 395 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 10: No, I to say that the president has been a 396 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 10: bold and energetic leader, I think vastly understates the accomplishments that. 397 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 4: He has rolled up in his first year. 398 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 10: I mean, it's really pretty unbelievably remarkable. All the while, 399 00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 10: remember seeing the press on a daily basis handling own, 400 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 10: you know, handling interviews and conversations with let's face it. 401 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 4: Mostly hostile press. 402 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 10: But I actually wrote a column about it today and 403 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 10: just here's just a sampling of what he's accomplished. So 404 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 10: we boosted the recruitment for our military, dismantled DEI and 405 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 10: a lot of the climate agenda, pushed NATO to up 406 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 10: their spending for their own defense, tossed overboard a lot 407 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 10: of regulations that Joe Biden put in place that really 408 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 10: slowed down our country's progress, challenged our woke universities in 409 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 10: a very constructive way, got rid of Nicola Maduro, the 410 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 10: head of Venezuela, defended women's sports, significantly derailed Arand's nuclear program, 411 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 10: oversaw a whole bunch of health initiatives from RFK Junior, 412 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 10: like getting rid of artificial food dies, shrunk the bureaucracy, 413 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 10: which I think is unbelievably important federal bureaucracy, and pushed 414 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 10: through a massive reconciliation bill that lowered taxes, and that 415 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 10: was basically, had it not passed, you were going to 416 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 10: have this major tax cliff at the end of last year. 417 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 10: So that's just some of it, by no means an 418 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 10: exhaustive list. But honestly, Mark, who has ever accomplished all 419 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 10: that much in the first year. 420 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 4: I don't know. 421 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, we tried this earlier for millions of years. They 422 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 2: always wanted to get some of the great CEOs in 423 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 2: the private sector. Maybe you know, maybe they could be 424 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 2: a president. You know, Jack welcher LEI koca. Well, we 425 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 2: finally got a CEO from the private sector, and unlike 426 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 2: a normal president, it does a couple of things a year. 427 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 2: As a committee of me. This guy goes a mile 428 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: a minute, tries to get fifty things done a day 429 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 2: like most great CEOs. But is that a good mix 430 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 2: with government or will we ever do it again? 431 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 6: Well? 432 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 10: I hope so, because, as you say, the default is 433 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 10: a career politician like Joe Biden, whose idea about tackling 434 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 10: a prop is to convene a lot of people and talk, talk, talk, 435 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 10: and then pass the buck to Congress, which convenes a 436 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 10: conference and a study group and talks, talks, talks, and 437 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 10: basically ends up doing nothing. I mean, I actually think 438 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 10: that's a fair indictment of the way our system works. 439 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 10: There's far too little accountability. I am not happy with 440 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 10: some of the things that Trump has done recently, but 441 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 10: you got to say the guy is accountable. I mean, 442 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 10: he's out there every day confronting his critics. The stock 443 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 10: market and other measures, polling and stuff will weigh whether 444 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 10: he's doing a good job or a bad job. 445 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 4: But the reality is he's taking risks. 446 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 10: Excuse me, and he's getting things done and he's not finished. 447 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 2: Pat Now, Minnesota, you got videos showing these protesters just 448 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 2: the most awful behavior ever. Once in a while you 449 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 2: see a video where the ICE maybe got the wrong guy. 450 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 2: But what do you think in the end this is 451 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 2: going to do for the midterms? 452 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 4: Well, I do want to see de escalation. 453 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 10: I mean the idea that Governor Walls is now calling 454 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 10: in the National Guard and the Trump is threatening to 455 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 10: call in troops. I mean, what are we gonna have 456 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 10: a war in Minneapolis with these elements fighting each other. 457 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 4: That's not tenable. It's not going to happen. 458 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 10: But somehow, Frankly, you know what, I think you should 459 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 10: just say to the people of Minnesota. Okay, you're governor 460 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 10: and you mayor fry of Minneapolis really don't want ICE 461 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 10: getting the violent criminals out of these communities, mostly Somali 462 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 10: criminals in those state, in that state. So we're just 463 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 10: going to leave you to it. We're going to have 464 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 10: a ring around your state. I'm serious. If you don't 465 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 10: want you got them, you got them. We're going to 466 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 10: make sure they don't go any place else because a 467 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 10: lot of them are just really horrible people. Child molesters 468 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 10: and rapists and murderers. But if you're happy to have 469 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 10: them here, we leave you to it and see what happens. 470 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 10: I think I don't think people in Minnesota would be 471 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 10: very excited about that, and I think that might end up, 472 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 10: you know, having local law enforcement kind of do a 473 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 10: pivot and say, well, wait a minute, that's not what 474 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 10: we had in mind. 475 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 4: So maybe it would work. 476 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 2: I like that President should announce Minnesota is now a 477 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: safe space. We ice will not enter Minnesota every illegal 478 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 2: Just go there and you'll be safe. Let them all, 479 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 2: all of them go there. 480 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: Perfect. 481 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 8: Now. 482 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 2: Hey, I'm listening to this new governor of New Jersey 483 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: and she's stuck about the focus on Greenland. When people 484 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 2: are struggling to pay for groceries and the prices of 485 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 2: groceries are going way up. Well, that's not true at all. 486 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 2: The price has been coming down all year, haven't they. 487 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 10: Well, in the rate of inflation is certainly down from 488 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 10: the nine point one percent that it reached under Joe Biden. 489 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 10: But unfortunately, because of several years of Bidenomics and high inflation, 490 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 10: price is escalated and they don't easily come down. Some 491 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 10: things have come down, like gasoline, which is a very 492 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 10: big deal for Americans. Definitely cheaper than it was a 493 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 10: year ago or two years ago. Price of eggs, which 494 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 10: was a big crisis you know, early in the year, 495 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 10: early last year, has come down. But look, I mean, unfortunately, 496 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 10: it's very difficult to get prices to come down. But 497 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 10: mark what's more important than the price level of cereal. 498 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 10: And by the way, that's one of the big things 499 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 10: that's going up in price right now is things like 500 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 10: those processed foods from the big companies. 501 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 4: Is wages. 502 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 10: Real wages are going up under President Trump, and they 503 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 10: didn't under Joe Biden. So you have American consumers better off. 504 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 10: I know that the polling shows people unhappy with the economy. 505 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 4: I think there are two elements there. 506 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 10: One, yeah, you go to the grocery store, you think, 507 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 10: holy crow, when did that become ten dollars? But then 508 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 10: the other thing I think is that there is this 509 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 10: underlying anxiety about AI and about what it means for 510 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 10: the jobs market. Anxieties, which I will hasten to add 511 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 10: are always magnified by a hostile press, as are the 512 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 10: price concerns that people are voicing. I mean, really, if 513 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 10: you read the Financial news. You just have to take 514 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 10: a step back every single day and say, Okay, you 515 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 10: know what, this is not a fair representation. When did 516 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 10: you see, by the way, as an example, the media 517 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 10: big headlines about the growth rates that we've seen in 518 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 10: the last couple of quarters. You don't see that because 519 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 10: that's favorable to President Trump, so they're not going to 520 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 10: talk about that. When did you see about the big 521 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 10: investment boom or productivity and gains in our country? Those 522 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 10: are extremely important financial matrix, and yet the media some 523 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 10: ignores them and would rather focus on. 524 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 4: Issues that are important for sure, like. 525 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 10: Affordability, because that's a Democrat favorable issue. Right now, let's 526 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 10: talk about housing though, if you will. There's a number 527 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 10: of indicies that measure housing affordability. 528 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 4: They are improving. Have you seen that headline lately? No, 529 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 4: you haven't. 530 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 10: Mortgages lately have come down significantly. The President clearly is 531 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 10: pushing for even more reductions. So some things are getting better. 532 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 10: But the combination of lower taxes, less regulation, high growth, 533 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 10: and incomes improving means that every time we have a 534 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 10: read on consumers, such as just in the recent days, 535 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 10: the holiday sales number, retail sales turns out Haha. Guess 536 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 10: what better than expected because the expectations constantly are so 537 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 10: beaten down by again a hostile press. And I don't 538 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 10: mean to blame everything on the press. I think the 539 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 10: Republicans done an absolutely appalling job at selling the big 540 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 10: tax bill. Democrats are out there saying, oh, it only 541 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 10: favors the wealthy. That is just patently not true. But 542 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 10: Republicans never talked it up because I think they were 543 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 10: just scared. I don't know, honestly, I'm kind of pretty 544 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 10: worked up about the Republican's lame efforts on messaging and 545 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 10: a number of other fronts. But the answer is, it's 546 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 10: a pretty good bill, and I think people see their 547 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 10: tax refunds are up substantially and they begin to look 548 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 10: at their take on pay, they're going to be pretty 549 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 10: happy with it. 550 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: Well. 551 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 2: Well, great points, Liz Peak.
