Speaker 3: agents at the airport. So my girlfriend's a little woke

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: and she was flying to Hawaii to see her her kids.

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: And when she landed, she called me and said, you

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: know what, Brian, I've never seen it smoother. And he

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: could not have been nicer. Guys, So that's a little

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 3: bit of an idditt to what you just mentioned before.

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: Right now, when you say your girlfriend's a little woke,

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: what does that mean? How woke is she?

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: Well, you know she's she's not voting for my guy,

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that. But it's okay along very well, yea.

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 3: But I just said I share that with you. You

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: and I met a couple of a couple of months

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: ago and said Jay House.

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: That's Tony. Tony's restaurant at Jay House, the biggest hot

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: spot of Greenwich. Of course there's Pulto, there's a scale.

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: But Tony, very good, thanks for calling. Let's go to

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: uh Rich and Myrtle Beach Rich. How you doing?

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 4: Thank Mark voting away his If she's not voting away

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 4: he at least I hope she's super hot, you know.

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: But well I didn't want to. I didn't want to

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: say it. But obviously this woman is super hot. If

30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: this guy is putting up with the woke craft, she

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: must look great.

32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: You know. I want to prefer Trump behind the desk.

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: And in one paragraph he says that harmu straight has

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 4: nothing to do with our oil. And in the next

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: paragraph he says the price of oil and gas is

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: up because of almost truth, because of the straight. So

37
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: somebody who wrote that speech should have double checked that.

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: No, it is no, it's correct. See what happens is

39
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: we don't get any oil from there. There's no reason

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: for us to pay anymore because we got we make

41
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: our own straight. So home thiss doesn't affect us. But

42
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: it's these oil guys that these jr Ewings that run

43
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: all the oil companies. They all conspire that our oil

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: is that's right West Texas Intermediate. They'll claim, well, we

45
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: have to raise it because the world market they raise

46
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: it anyway. So he could step in and do something,

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: but it's going to be over.

48
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: I hope he does.

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: I hope he does. No reason to it. It'll be

50
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: over in three weeks, no reason that you know.

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: As far as NATO is concerned, you brought up a

52
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 4: good point. They're totally feckless. They're useless. They have a

53
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 4: war on their own continent for the first time since

54
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 4: World War Two, and they can't deal with any of

55
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: it on their own without the US help. They're terrible.

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: They're like babies.

57
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they're absolutely worthless. You're right, we got to

58
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: get out of NATO. Also, you know these organizations, the

59
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: United Nations, nineteen forty eight, it was created. It's been

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: over there for nineteen forty eight. How many years is

61
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: it's like eighty something years. Name one thing they've ever

62
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: done for anybody anything, United Nations. Get rid of that

63
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: whole place, close it down, get rid of NATO. Let's

64
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: go to David Long Island. David, how you doing.

65
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 5: I'm good, but I do think there's a reason to

66
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 5: stay in NATO. But it's not because our allies are

67
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 5: dependable or anything like that. The reason we should stay

68
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 5: in NATO is because by treaty, it forces this country

69
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 5: to spend five of GDP on defense.

70
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: If we ever have a.

71
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 5: Democrat Democrat administration in the future, they will gut our

72
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 5: military down to nothing and we will be butt naked

73
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 5: if we ever need.

74
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: That's a good point. But remember under Biden, under Jimmy Carter,

75
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: we did gut the military even though we were NATO members,

76
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: So you could still gut it anyway. They just spend

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: the money.

78
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: Do you think you can gut it? But you can't

79
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 5: with China building ships like crazy.

80
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm not saying you should. I'm just

81
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: saying it is possible. They did it under Jimmy Carter,

82
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: they do it under Biden. You still have to spend

83
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: the five percent. It's a NATO rule. But what they

84
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: do is instead of building planes and ships and tanks

85
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: to spend the money on diversity programs, diversity training, They'll

86
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: just spend it differently. That's the problem. Let's go to

87
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: Bill in Hamburg, New Jersey. Bill, how you doing good?

88
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 6: Mark, thank you. A quick word about the moonshot you

89
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 6: have today. First of all, the camera covers was terrible.

90
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 6: I was very disappointed about that. But when I lived

91
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 6: in Florida, I used to go to moonshots berk shiding,

92
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 6: the ground is vibrating, the water in that lake is

93
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 6: shimmering and shivering. But I'm asking myself a question from

94
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 6: when I used to go to them back in the

95
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 6: late sixties, fifty years later, what the hell have I

96
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 6: benefited from any moonshots? And what will I benefit this one?

97
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 2: You actually have benefited a lot from the space programs

98
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: because they've invented a ton of stuff in the space

99
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: programs that helped us lay. That's where my crow waves

100
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: were invented, MRIs were invented. There's a list you can

101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: go online and find it by like two hundred important

102
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: inventions that came as a result of the space program.

103
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: So that's now. Some people will argue that's in the

104
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: sixties seventies. You don't really need that anymore because Silicon

105
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: Valley and Apple and all the tech companies they're now

106
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 2: doing stuff that comes out with all these inventions. So

107
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: without some people will argue, if you look at the

108
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: last twenty years, more inventions have come from those tech

109
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: companies than from the space program. I think the most

110
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: fascinating thing is nineteen sixties, seventies. You're watching the rocket

111
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: takeoff the capsule. What it looks like, What the rocket

112
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: looks like. It's a billion years later, it's twenty twenty six.

113
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: I'm watching this just a little rocket looks exactly the same.

114
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: It's the same looking capsule. Nothing changed in fifty years

115
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: since the last time you went to the moon. Same

116
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: look of everything. You think it would look like a

117
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: tesla or something. You think it would look entirely different. Now, Hey,

118
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: when we come back, Steve Moore. We hope Steve Moore

119
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: will be with us next lots to talk to him

120
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: about what about these oil prices, gas prices, stock market.

121
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: We'll get to all of that in a moment. On

122
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: seven to ten, wor
