1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the Mark Simon Show on seven tenor Hey,

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: you realize it's Wednesday, which means it's one week since

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve was one week ago.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: You got through the first week of twenty twenty six.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: You got through the first week of the Mamdani administration.

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: It's only about three hundred more weeks of him to

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: get through, and then you'll be fine. Gotta keep clearing

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 1: my throat. I'm not sick, just my nose has been

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 1: stuffed up for a week and a half. It's just

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: this ridiculously cold weather. It's gonna be in the forties today,

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: fifties later this week. In Alaska. Remember the Remember a

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago we had all that snow on a Friday.

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: Remember Bridgeport seven inches long, Island seven inches. It was horrible.

14
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: Seven inches this weather, Alaska. This is just the past

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: couple of days. Seven feet of snow, seven feet of snow.

16
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: You know here, if you get an inch, there's already

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: a school closings immediately. Alaska. You got to get to

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: about ten feet before they close the schools there. So

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: we'll get to Venezuela, we'll get to Greenland, we'll get

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: to Tim Waltz. We'll get to CBS News. They're getting

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: a lot of flat they've been cleaning up the Evening News,

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: trying to make it less corrupt, and they're getting a

23
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: lot of flack for it. Hey, we'll get to that

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: crazy George Conway who's running for Congress. We'll get to

25
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: mom Donnie. Hey, speaking of getting a lot of flak,

26
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: this Hilton story did not get a lot of coverage.

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: But you know, there's Hilton, and there's a great hotel chain.

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: You got Hilton hotels all over the place, and there's

29
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: one in the Minnesota where you know, ICE when they

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: go into these cities, you don't realize all the logistics

31
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: that are required forget arresting the criminals, the criminal illegals,

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: just the logistics of getting them all there. If you

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: want to send one hundred ICE agents there, you got

34
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: to move them there. All their equipment, everything, their vehicles,

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: everything has to be moved there. And then you got

36
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: to find a hotel for them to stay in. So

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: in every city they have to book one hundred hotel rooms.

38
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: Although well, government likes to waste money, but although it

39
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: might be you know, they double up. So it's fifty

40
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: hotel rooms, two in a room, whatever. But in Minneapolis

41
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: they used here it is again. In Minneapolis, they used

42
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: a Hilton hotel to have the ICE agents stay. Well,

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: the local Hilton hotel employees. You know, it's Minnesota, and

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: they were crazy left wing, childish democrats, woke democrats. So

45
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: they found out these were ICE people coming to stay

46
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: in the hotel, so they canceled the reservation and informed

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: Ice that they were not welcome to stay in this

48
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: Hilton hotel. Well you can't do that, of course, that's ridiculous. Now,

49
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: it's not the fault of Hilton the corporation. It's these

50
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: employees in this local hotel, and it turns out it's

51
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: not owned by Hilton. You know, many of these hotels

52
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: are owned and built by Hilton. But a lot of

53
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: these hotels you stay in were just built by the

54
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: local guy who built a hotel and then he makes

55
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: a deal with Hilton to come in and run it

56
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: and put their name on it. It's a franchise you

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: can buy, so you can build yourself a beautiful hotel

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: and then you get Marriott to be the name on

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: it and run it. You have to, you know, make

60
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: a partnership franchise agreement with them. In this case, it

61
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: was Hilton. So Hilton looked into this and they immediately

62
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: withdrew the franchise. They fired this local owner and hotel.

63
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: They took their name off the hotel. They will have

64
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this hotel anymore. It's against their

65
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: policy to discriminate against people because of their race or

66
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: because you don't like the way they look, or you

67
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: don't like their politics. You can't discriminate and refuse to

68
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: give them a room. So Hilton has withdrawn the franchise.

69
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: That will have nothing to do with this hotel anymore.

70
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: So now, of course, the left wing cooks are all

71
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: gone after Hilton denouncing Hilton. Writing about Hilton, here's one

72
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: of these left wing cooks. S. Hilton was trying to

73
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: protect people from government thugs who separate people from their families.

74
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: They separate families well. First of all, every law enforcement

75
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: agency in the world separates families. The New York City

76
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: police separate families. The Minneapolis police separate whenever anybody's arrested.

77
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: If they arrest a woman's say a mother, and they

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: arrest her and have to arrest her take her in

79
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: handcuff her, take her to jail. That you can't bring

80
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: your kids with you. You're separated. The kids have to

81
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: stay with a relative or something, or if there's nobody,

82
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: they go into child services. But every law enforcement agency

83
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 1: separates families. Every arrest, families are separated. So Hilton getting

84
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: a lot of flack. Now you know who else is

85
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: getting a lot of flax. CBS News because the new

86
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: woman in charge, Barry Weiss, decided to clean up the

87
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: corruption over there and try to make it a little

88
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: more fair and balanced. So normally you watch the CBS

89
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: Evening News, all they do is denounce the President, denounce

90
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: the administration, call them all kinds of names. Whatever they do,

91
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: it's awful. So the new CBS News under Berry Wise,

92
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: they put in a new anchor. This guy's pretty good.

93
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: It's off to a rough, rocky start, but he's pretty good.

94
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: He'll he'll slowly even. You know. He actually get some

95
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: pretty good anchors. Now, this David Muher, you know, might

96
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: be a little slanted, but he's a sharp look and

97
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: it's a great newscast. The ABC Evening News and the

98
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: new NBC News anchor, I can't remember his name, Tom

99
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: Yamas that's his name, Tom Yamas. He's actually I like

100
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: Lester Holdy was a nice guy. Totally corrupt on the air,

101
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: totally biased, but he's a nice guy. This guy's sharper, better, quicker,

102
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: and the same thing with CBS. This guy's pretty good.

103
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: But they've decided to make the newscast fair. So every

104
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: night they'll go after the Trump administration a little with

105
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: the language because it's still being written by CBS News writers,

106
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: but they'll be fair. They'll put the other side. On

107
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: the first night of this new guy, he gave Pete

108
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Hexath three segments on the New three segments on the

109
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: evening News to respond. And then it was Marco Rubio

110
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: one night. They brought him on live and whatever they

111
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: said bad about Trump, they put on Rubio, let him respond,

112
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: and then Christy Nome, whatever the attack was, they then

113
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: went to her, put her on live on the news

114
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: and let her respond. That's the fair thing to do,

115
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: so you're supposed to do so. CBS News getting all

116
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: kinds of flak from left wing critics now attacking them

117
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: like crazy. Here's one the call says it. Now it's

118
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: become Fox News Light. They're shilling for the administration just

119
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: giving the other the other side of chance to respond.

120
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: That's shilling for the administration. So uh, changes are happening.

121
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 1: And remember this is only the first year of Donald Trump.

122
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: Give him two three years and we'll see what happens. Now,

123
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: all this Greenland talk, you know, I feel bad for

124
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: the Democrats. This is costing them a fortune. You know,

125
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 1: they all had to go out and buy Ukrainian flags

126
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: to wave around, and then all the trouble in Israel

127
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: they had and they had to go out and get

128
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: rid of the flags. They had to go out and

129
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: buy a Hamas flags and Palestinian flags to wave around.

130
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: I mean every second they got to buy a new flag.

131
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: Then Ice they had, all these liberals had to go

132
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: buy Mexican flags, and now they all got to go

133
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: buy Venezuelan flags. You know, they spending a fortune on flags.

134
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: Had I known this was going to happen, I would

135
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: have bought stock and flag companies a couple of years ago.

136
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: But it just you go into any left wing kook

137
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: woke Democrats home, there's a closet now filled with different flags. Hey,

138
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: by the way, a lot of this stuff these protests

139
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: are funded organized. They're not organic or natural, many of

140
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: them paid for by Soros and those other oligarchs. The

141
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: Democrat oligarchs like Soros fund them. Nicole what's his name,

142
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: Reid Hoffman, Reid Hoffman. So the President and the administration

143
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: for the they've hinted at this, but for the first

144
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: time ever they said they're looking at going after them.

145
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: Harmiit Dillon and others in the Department of Justice now

146
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: talking about conspiracy charges against them. When you see what

147
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: looks supposed to be just an organic protest that happened

148
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,119
Speaker 1: all of a sudden over Venezuela, they all two hundred

149
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: of them, have all the same equipment. They have the

150
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: same exact signs from the same printer, and they're real

151
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: high quality, glossy printed signs, really expensive. Well, so this

152
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: is all being funded by these Soros type zillionaires. But

153
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: now they're talking about rico charges, conspiracy charges funding protests,

154
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: So finally something may be done about that. So the

155
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: Venezuela talk. Now here's the other thing. The President talking

156
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: about Greenland taking over Greenland, hinting at the military go

157
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: in there and sees Greenland. He's not going to do that.

158
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: It's not going to be the military. First of all,

159
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: the military seizing Greenland. A boy scout troop take over

160
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: Greenland in about half an hour. I mean, it would

161
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: take twenty minutes to seize Greenland. So what he wants

162
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: is to buy it from Denmark. Denmark owns Greenland, and

163
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: there was a time a while back where they were

164
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: actually kind of interested in talking about it because the

165
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: price was going to be billions of dollars for Greenland

166
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: and they needed the money. Denmark's economy in trouble, a big, huge, huge,

167
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: huge deficit and debt. Well, one of the things that

168
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: saved them was that ozempic because apparently some of the

169
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: original whatever it is from ozempic made in Greenland in Denmark,

170
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: and they've made a fortune off it, which made up

171
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: a lot of their deficit. But US wants Greenland, they'd

172
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: like to buy it, they'd like to work out an

173
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: agreement to buy it and pay for it and then

174
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: own it. But that's the reason for all this invasion

175
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: military to it's just negotiating, just negotiating. There's no chance

176
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: of actually invading Greenland or taking it over. But it's

177
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: a very valuable thing for the US. It's very important,

178
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: crucial military base for US crucial as far as shipping lanes.

179
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: It has all kinds of defense strategic reasons why we

180
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: need to have Greenland. Also, it's filled with valuable minerals

181
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: and stuff, so it's a win win to take Greenland,

182
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: and Denmark really doesn't need it for any defense purposes

183
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: or strategic purposes or military base purposes. And then there's

184
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: always the fear for all those same reasons that the

185
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: Russia somebody else could take it over. President Trump. You know,

186
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: remember Joe Biden, remember him, And maybe once a year

187
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: he tried to do a press conference and they'd call

188
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: on three people where they were already picked beforehand, questions

189
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: and answers written out right in front of Joe. And

190
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: they had to put a big card with the reporter's

191
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: name so Joe could call on them, and the reporter's

192
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: picture so he'd recognize them. And they used the real

193
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: big font you know, so Joe could see it. Those

194
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: are the old days. Now it's President Trump every two

195
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: seconds of press conference, anytime he's walking in the hall,

196
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: anytime the reporter's there, he'll answer questions, He'll talk to

197
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: them on They all have his cell number. They can

198
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: call him anytime. Hundreds and hundreds of these reporters have

199
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: his cell number. Even this crazy Joe Scarborough. Right after

200
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: Venezuela or the Greenland stuff started, he said he called

201
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: the President Trump and talked to him for twenty minutes

202
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: about Greenland. I mean, that's how open he is. He'll

203
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: talk to Joe Scarborough on the phone for twenty minutes.

204
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: But wherever he is, you immediately can talk to him.

205
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: He'll answer questions. You see, even when he's on the plane,

206
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: he'll come out of the private cabin and answer questions

207
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: for a half hours. So anyway, the whole thing is

208
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: it's a winning situation in Venezuela. And he talked about that.

209
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: You gotta win the midterms.

210
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: Ohay, the midterms. Now this is the other thing. How

211
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: does this affect the midterms? Well, gas prices will come

212
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: down even more. They've come down dramatically. Hey, By the way,

213
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: it's another side issue. Come down to two fifty a gallon,

214
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: two seventy five a gallon. It was four dollars under

215
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. It's now two fifty everywhere except New York

216
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: and except California. It's two fifty everywhere you go in

217
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: the country to seventy five. In New York it's still

218
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: four dollars four to fifty. California it's five. Nobody is

219
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: you have totally corrupt media, otherwise they'd be all over

220
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: these two governors at demanding to know why they haven't

221
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: let the gas prices come down. The reason it hasn't

222
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: come down here the state will just add taxes to

223
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: make up for it and keep it. So gas prices

224
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: are way down all over America. With Venezuela. Now we're

225
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: going to get fifty million gallons immediately of their oil.

226
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: That'll bring down prices even more. A lot of the

227
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: drilling that started to starting to kick in. So also,

228
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: you're going to have the tax cuts take effect now

229
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: finally since New Year's Day, they're now in effect. People

230
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: to get more money in their paychecks. So that's going

231
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: to help Republicans in the midterm. And it's important.

232
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: You got to win the midterms because if we don't

233
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: win the midterms, it's just going to be.

234
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me.

235
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there'll be an impeachment a week. But on the

236
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: other hand, when they do there, remember first term was

237
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: an impeachment once every year, every spring. This will be

238
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: every month, and then they'll totally devalue the whole idea

239
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: of impeachment. It will mean nothing after a while. Now,

240
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: the only time bomb there is a healthcare costs Obamacare

241
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: turns out to be totally unworkable. In fact, they called

242
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: it the Affordable Care Act. All it did was drive

243
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: prices up like crazy, which was to be expected. Anytime

244
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: you take anything out of the private sector and have

245
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: the government run it, it gets much more expensive. And

246
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: it got so out of control that they had to

247
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: start giving subsidies to pay for it. It's the Affordable

248
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: Care Act, but it's so unaffordable you have to have

249
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: a government subsidy to be able to afford it. So

250
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: that expired. Now they're going to have possible you know,

251
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: one of those shutdown talks things again at the end

252
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: of the month. Democrats want to just keep the subsidy

253
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: going forever, just subsidize it. President Trump, being a logical businessman,

254
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: types as well, why don't we fix it so it

255
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: actually is affordable. Privatize a lot of it, make it

256
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: more efficient, get all the crazy, you know, crazy corruption

257
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: and complication out of it, make it simple, and I mean,

258
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: that's the logical thing to do, but Democrats don't want that.

259
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: So healthcare will be crucial in the mid terms.

260
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: We could have add healthcare good. De healthcare is go.

261
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: Obamacare is bad and the people understand it's bad, and

262
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 3: the premiums are horrible.

263
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: But one thing I've learned, I've learned a lot about healthcare.

264
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: I found healthcare so sort of like, not of tremendous interest,

265
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: but it was very important.

266
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. So again, all day long. You can talk to him.

267
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: Reporters can talk to him anytime, ask him anything. Now

268
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: here's a more important issue. You know how he does

269
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: that Dan And after there's music, he starts dancing. So

270
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: he was asked about that. This is interesting. You know,

271
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: his wife, Milanie is a very dignified, very elegant woman,

272
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: and there he is dancing, and he was asked about it.

273
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: My wife hates when I do this, she said. You know,

274
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: she's a very classy person, right, she said, it's so unpresidential,

275
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: he said, but I did become president somebody she hates

276
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: when I dance. I said, everybody wants to dance, Darling,

277
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: it's not presidential.

278
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: Well, okay, that's true, but ninety percent of what he

279
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: does isn't presidential. He breaks all the rules and he

280
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: knows how to do it and be successful at it.

281
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: But I can understand her saying that.

282
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: She actually said, could you imagine FDR dancing? She said

283
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: that to me, and I said, there's a long history

284
00:15:54,520 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: that perhaps she doesn't know because he wasn't good fellow

285
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 3: even as a Democrat.

286
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, But again I've known Donald Trump, I don't know,

287
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: thirty five years and the decades before he was president.

288
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: It was all the same thing as a top big

289
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: business guy in New York real estate, everybody in that world.

290
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: Why does he have to be Why does he have

291
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: to do that? Why does he have to behave like that?

292
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Doesn't he know how to back? Doesn't he know? So

293
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: this has been gone on his whole life. He's perfected

294
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: the system of breaking all the rules. His instincts are great.

295
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: He makes it work. Hey, coming up, we'll get to

296
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: George Conway. This this crazy nutjob Democrat wants to run

297
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: for Congress here in New York. We'll get to that

298
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: and more. Coming up, we'll take some calls. Next. Eight

299
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: hundred three to two one zero seven ten is the number.

300
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero, seven, ten,
