Speaker 1: doing well?

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: Feeling good about things? Given the what happened with the

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: job support yesterday, really good numbers on the economy. Economy

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: continues to expand, businesses are hiring again. And what I

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: love about the story, Mark, is that you know what

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: sector of the economy is shrinking?

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: Government?

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: Government? Oh good government. Yeah. So private jobs are booming,

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: and the and the and the government jobs are shrinking.

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: So we're draining the swamp in Washington. Federal employment continues

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: to fall, thank god. But the private sector numbers for

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: hiring were really good. So and by the way, wages

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: were up and the unemployment was down. Oh.

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I got the MSNBC on here it

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: says we're in a big affordability crisis at.

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you know that the last year, the average

26
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: median family income people in the exact metal they saw

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: about a twenty five hundred dollars increase in their above

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: inflation incomes. So what I mean, Look, I get it.

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: People are angry about the price of beef, and they're

30
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 2: angry about you know, the price of coffee, and they're

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: angry about price of healthcare and housing. But if you

32
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: look overall, people have more money in their paychecks. And

33
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: by the way, that's partly because the big beautiful bill,

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: as you know, I mean, people are starting to really

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: feel it now because they're withholding is starting an earnest

36
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: and so that means you're going to have less money

37
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: withheld from your paycheck by the irs, which means more

38
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: money in your paycheck. Yeah.

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: Hey, now, would you confirm Steve more that in the

40
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: Biden years during the Biden administration, when they head oh

41
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: a good job number, it was because the government would

42
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: go out and hire people exactly.

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: Yes, And that's so I used to you know, as

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: you know, Mark, every first Friday of every month for

45
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: the last ten years. I've been doing this. You know,

46
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: the jobs report comes out on the first Pride of

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: over arounth although it didn't this time. It came out

48
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: on Wednesday because of the government shutdown and they've been

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: delate late in getting the data out. But nonetheless, during

50
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: the Biden years, you know, we get these jobs numbers,

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty thousand jobs created, Yay, hooray, and

52
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: then you look at the numbers and it's like one

53
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: hundred thousand more government shops. You know, So we were

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: increasing government jobs and we were not seeing much grain

55
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: gain at all on five effector. And what we've done,

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: we've seen now is a reset where we're now shrinking

57
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: the government in increasing pivate sector jobs, which is exactly

58
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: what we want unless you're a government employee.

59
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a much healthier way to run the economy. Yes. Hey,

60
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: the CEO of Ford yesterday puts out all these numbers

61
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: electric car electric vehicle sales was so bad it brought

62
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: down the whole bottom line of the company, and he said,

63
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: the customer has spoken. So what do we conclude from that?

64
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: Well, that's an interesting thing because you know, one of

65
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: the reasons that you know, basically under the Biden years,

66
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: they were trying to force feed people to buy to

67
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: buy electric vehicles with mandates and you had to buy them,

68
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: and then all the subsidies to build them, et cetera,

69
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera, and a lot of the big

70
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: auto manufacturers they bought into it. Oh yeah, let's build

71
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: all these these electric vehicles. And by the way, I'm

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: not against electric vehicles. I was just against by enforcing

73
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: people to buy electric vehicles. And so what's happened now

74
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: is there's been uh, you know, people have kind of

75
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: revolted against that, and for many reasons. People say, you know,

76
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: we don't want electric fical. By the way, I have

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: a hybrid and I love it, so you know, I'm

78
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: not against the batteries. But I also want to know,

79
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I don't run out of

80
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: you know, get a mountain and then don't have any

81
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: juice left in my battery. So the point is that

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: I always have said this that you know, people when

83
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: it comes to their cars, people want to choose themselves.

84
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: They don't want the government to choose the car for them.

85
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: Because we have a love affair with our cars in

86
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: America and Trump, I mean, Biden didn't seem to understand that.

87
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: And the more he tried to force people to buy

88
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: electric vehicles, the more people have revolted against buying them.

89
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: And so now you've got this huge surf plus of

90
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 2: electric vehicles that nobody wants to buy.

91
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we just had a weekend here where

92
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: it was like ten below zero. Your electric car doesn't

93
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: work when it's the.

94
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: Exactly that's exactly right. So this is a problem with

95
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: evs is that they're not going to start when the

96
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: temperature gets, you know, below ten degrees. And by the way,

97
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: in Washingt d C. Southern City, we you know, the

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 2: temperature for the last twenty days has been below ten degrees,

99
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 2: so you know, then you can't get out of your driveway.

100
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, we're talking earlier about budgets. You know, the

101
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: budget in New York is ridiculous. It's like one hundred

102
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: and twenty billion. New York States budget is double that

103
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: of Florida, even though we have less people. This is

104
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: all from contracts they hand out where we overpay by

105
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: ten million percent for everything we do in the government.

106
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Politicians like handing out those contracts. Is there anything we

107
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: could ever do to fix this?

108
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: Well, what's going on the big story of America is

109
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: that these blue cities and blue states are just dying.

110
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: They're dying. And you know it's because I was in

111
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: New York earlier this week and talking a lot of

112
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: people in New York City, and they were frustrated because Mandonie,

113
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: you know, hadn't even cleared away the snow. The garbage

114
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: wasn't being collected. And I don't care what your ideology,

115
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: I don't care if you're left right center, whatever you are,

116
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: libertarian socialists. Everybody wants the public services to work. And

117
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: yet Mandamie has proven in just this first one thirty

118
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: five days in office he has no idea what he's doing.

119
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: You think it's it's not even the ideology, it's incompetence.

120
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unbelievable. Hey, we were talked at this before too.

121
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: You know they have this jock tax if you play football,

122
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: even if it's the Super Bowl. Yeah, the guy one

123
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy thousand for playing the Super Bowl and

124
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: his taxes were like two hundred and eighty thousand. How

125
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: is that?

126
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: How is that even legal? The taxi more than well,

127
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: I know, and that these are the jock taxes. You

128
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: have to pay an income tax if you play, you know,

129
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: a game in a in a state that has eye

130
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: income tax, and so, uh, the you're right. So now

131
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: they're saying, well, we're gonna move. We're not going to

132
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: play the world the super Bowl in these places with

133
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: high tax anymore because the players can't afford it. And

134
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: by the way, a lot of the players don't want

135
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: to even play on teams you know that are located

136
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: in blue station in cities like you know, so that's

137
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: a big tax on getting a winning team back in

138
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: New York.

139
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, but you're right. You know, we pay the

140
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: highest taxes in the world in New York City. And

141
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: they can't even shovel snow, but.

142
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: Shouldn't there be a And they can't collect the garbage.

143
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: I saw that, everybody, I think you've probably seen it. It

144
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: went viral on the internet of the rabbi out there

145
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: helping the garage put the garbage in the truck because too,

146
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he's supposed to be this brilliant

147
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: big thinker. He can't even get the garverage collected off

148
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: the street. I mean, I laugh at that, but it

149
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: just shows, you know, I would think Mondommie would say, look,

150
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: let me go around the city and give these speeches

151
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: and about how great socialism, but put somebody in charge

152
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: who knows what they're doing and how to run something.

153
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, in the next month or two, everybody will

154
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: start paying their taxes, doing their taxes for the year.

155
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: What's going to be the difference now with the big

156
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,120

00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: Well, people are gonna save a lot in terms of

00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: the the withho the going to pay a smaller tax

159
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: bill than they did last year. And I don't know

160
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: the exact numbers, but on average it's about one thousand

161
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: dollars saving. And it was just so ironic because all

162
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: the Democrats talk about is affordability, affordability, yet every one

163
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: of them voted against the tax cut.

164
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: And inflation. We're doing well, and what do you think

165
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: give us a growth forecast, a growth number for the rest.

166
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: Of the Oh, I'm going to give you the number

167
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump gave. We're going to grow by fifteen percent.

168
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: By the way, I love that about Trump, don't you. Mark?

169
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: And I know you're close to Trump, and I talked

170
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: him about but you know he shoots for the movie.

171
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: He told Larry Cudlow, you know we're gonna get fifteen

172
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: percent growth, because Larry said, do you think we can

173
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: get five percent growth? And he said fifty percent? Well,

174
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: which would be like but but you know what, he

175
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: also said the same thing when you know when the

176
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: Dow Jones hit fifty thousand a couple of days ago.

177
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: By the way, when I first came to Washington forty

178
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: years ago, that that was at one thousand. Now it's

179
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: at fifty thousand. But the Trump said, you know, by

180
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 2: the time I leave office, and we don't know when

181
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: that's going to be. The time I leave office, we're

182
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: gonna have now one hundred thousand.

183

185
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:10,880
