1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Why from midtown Manhattan, here comes the Mark Simone Show

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: on seven.

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: R.

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Okay, what happened? It's cold us, but it don't got

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: warmer tomorrow. You got a lot to get to today.

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: We'll get to the president's speech last night. We'll get

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: to the shutdown. Pam BONDI might have a problem. We'll

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: get to Christy Nome this stuff coming out about her.

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: We'll get to ice the shutdown, all of that crazy

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: mayor Mom Donnie with his idea of raising taxes and

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: all that. As we have always hoped. The City Council

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: speaker Julie Mennon, Democrat, but a common sense Democrat is

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: standing up to him and blocking him, and she may

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: be become a hero in what's about to happen here.

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: So we got a lot to get to this morning.

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: President's speech last night, I don't know it was it

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: was a good speech. Don't think he's did his best

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: When he does those reading a teleprompter standing there in

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: the where wherever that was the East room or wherever

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: they did that speech, it's you know, I would he's

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: better with an audience, although it was supposed to be

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: a formal address. He's not great with formal addresses. It's

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: not doesn't play to his strength, or I would have

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: I would have gone to a military base and done

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: it there with with the with the troops around him.

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: But then the Democrats, the crazy fake news would attack

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: and we exploiting the military and all of that. So,

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: but it was a pretty good speech. He laid out

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: a lot of things a lot of people don't know.

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: You know, if you're you know, hard work in American

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: you don't have time to follow this stuff. Eight hours

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: a day. You're not listening to talk radio, you're not

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: going really in depthy just watching the nightly news. All

34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: you hear about is the straits of Hormosa closed and

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: this is the worst thing that ever happened. How are

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: we going to get him open? This is total disaster

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: with the straits closed. And so there were some good

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: parts he had explain to people, we don't get any

39
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: oil from the Straits of horn Moose. It has nothing

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: to do with us, doesn't affect us.

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: To those countries that can't get fuel, many of which

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: refuse to get.

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: Involved in the No, that's what was the other point.

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: It's Europe that needs a straight at Horme Moose it's India, Pakistan.

45
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: Those over there, they need the streets Hormose. They should

46
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: help get it open.

47
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: To those countries that can't get fuel, many of which

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: refuse to get involved in the decapitation of Iran. We

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 3: had to do it ourselves. I have a suggestion. Number one,

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: buy oil from the United States of America. We have plenty,

51
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 3: we have so much. And number two, build up some

52
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: delayed courage. Should have done it before, should have done

53
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 3: it with us as we asked. Go to the strait

54
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 3: and just take it, protect it, use it for yourself.

55
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. So again, we have all the oil we need.

56
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: Thanks to President Trump's first term, we're totally oil independent.

57
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: And then here's the the Yeah. I love after something

58
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: like this to watch MSNBC and CNN and all the

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: crazies and how are they going to attack it? Well,

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: he pointed out, once we're done, once it's over, once

61
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: we leave Straits of Hormuse automatically open, they'll open by themselves.

62
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Because the only people that need the Straits of Hormuse,

63
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: it's Iran. That's how they sell their oil. That's what

64
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: they do for revenue, sell oil. But you can only

65
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: sell it if the Straits are open and the tankers

66
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: are moving. If the straits are closed and the tankers

67
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: aren't moving, you can't sell any oil and you're going

68
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: to lose all your income. So this is what they

69
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: attacked him on. He's it's a childish fantasy that they'll

70
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: just open by themselves. What kind of out of control

71
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: terrible though, that's just playing they'll open by themselves. Most

72
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: people watching this understood exactly what he meant. They will

73
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: open as soon as we leave. We could actually open

74
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: them militarily, but it would require some risk, and we

75
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: don't get any oil from there. I even take the risk.

76
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: But it was okay last night.

77
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: Our objectives are very simple and clear. We are systematically

78
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: dismantling the regime's ability to threaten America or project power

79
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: outside of their borders. That means eliminating Iran's navy, which

80
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: is now absolutely destroyed.

81
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, if you're watching all the crazies last night,

82
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: well the best thing is this, Chuck Schumer tweets. Schumer

83
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: tweets out that it was the most rambling, incoherent speech ever,

84
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: the most rambling, out of control, meandering rambling. Nobody could

85
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: understand what he was saying. Nobody can understand why we

86
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: were there. And then he said it was He made

87
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: it clear that this is the single greatest foreign policy

88
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: blunder in the history of the world. Now that's when

89
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: you know things are going well for the president. Chuck

90
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: Schumer is not that stupid. I mean, he has some

91
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: kind of functioning brain. But even he couldn't come up

92
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: with a logical argument. Obviously, it's if you take out

93
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: the worst, most evil terrorist government in the world. Obviously

94
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: you could argue, well, we didn't need to do it,

95
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: or this wasn't the right time. But obviously it's not

96
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: the greatest foreign policy blunder. I mean, it's a great

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: thing to do, even if it's not the right moment,

98
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: Even if it's not the right way. It would never

99
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: be considered the greatest killing hitler. It can't be considered

100
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: the greatest foreign policy blunder in the world. Wiping out

101
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: the Ayatola, wiping out the most evil terrorist funding regime

102
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: in the world. I think people understand that's not the

103
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: biggest foreign policy blunder in history. And it was a

104
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: short speed feeling like twenty minutes.

105
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise

106
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 3: in gasoline prices here at home. This short term increase

107
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 3: has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching

108
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: to range terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring

109
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 3: countries that have nothing to do with the conflict.

110
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, you see, he's not good at that reading the

111
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: teleprompt many kind of it's not his strength. When he

112
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: just talks, you know, just a couple of keywords on

113
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: the page. When he just starts talking, he's brilliant, but

114
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: that it's not his strength. But that's what people were

115
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: calling for, it demanding a formal Oval office speech. Although

116
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: he wasn't. He hate doing it in the Oval office.

117
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: He don't like sitting at the desk. He likes standing.

118
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: So that's why they did it in the east room there.

119
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: But other presidents are professional politicians at George Bush and

120
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, they know how to give that very formal speech,

121
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: and they're great teleprompter readers. It's it's not a skill

122
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: to be proud of that you're good at reading a speech.

123
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: The fact that you can just add litbits, speak from

124
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: the heart and do an hour and a half that's

125
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: something to be proud of. So reaction Wall Street Journal,

126
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 1: which doesn't like Trump. You know, the Wall Street Journal

127
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: never very favorable to Trump. They thought it was a

128
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: great speech, They thought it was wonderful. They really really

129
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: applauded it. Stock market is down, which means nothing. It's

130
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, as John Carney pointed out yesterday, the stock

131
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: market Wall Street is an overreaction machine. They overreact to everything.

132
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: And they did this with tearriffs, you know, plunge eight

133
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: million points, so that is the end of the world,

134
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: and then two seconds later it goes right back up

135
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: to an all time high. So you'll see the same

136
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: thing here in a few weeks when the war is over.

137
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: Gas prices will plunge, stock market will go nuts. One

138
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: reason that does that is it is an overreaction machine.

139
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: It'll go too low on the bad news, and then

140
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: when the good news comes, it'll go way too high

141
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: and then level off at some point. NATO. He brought

142
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: up NATO and he is threatening to pull out a

143
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: NATO and some people think, well, that's crazy, will not

144
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: so crazy anymore. The idea NATO is that we're a

145
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: member and that it would somehow help us in the

146
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: worst crisis. And here we are in a crisis and

147
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: they're doing absolutely nothing for us use. We're not allowed

148
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: to use the base in Italy for this. Well, that's

149
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: why we have a base in Italy for something like this.

150
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: And then when it came out that Iran we didn't

151
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: never knew this has missiles and go two thousand miles

152
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: and hit Italy. That's all the more recent. You should

153
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: open up that base, let us use it. Well, you

154
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: still can't use it, can't use the airspace of this country.

155
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: They won't send any troops. So what's the point. What's

156
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: the point? NATO is pretty useless. Look at the Russia

157
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: invades Ukraine. I mean look at that. NATO totally useless

158
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: in that case, nothing they could do to help. So

159
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: the president will threaten to pull out unless they do something,

160
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: unless they become more cooperative, more favorable to the US.

161
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: Here's Marco Rubio.

162
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: When we need them to allow us to use their

163
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: military bases, their answer is no. Then why are we

164
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 4: in NATO? You have to ask that question. Why do

165
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 4: we have billions and billions of dollars, hundreds of billions

166
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 4: of dollars over the year's trillions of dollars, and all

167
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 4: these American forces stationed in the region. If we can

168
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 4: only use we can we in our time of need,

169
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 4: We're not going to be allowed to use those bases.

170
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: A good point. I mean, if you joined the club,

171
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: a private club or something, but you're not allowed in,

172
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: you can't come, he can't do anything, you'd leave. Why

173
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: would you even stay? Pam Bondy Attorney General President behind

174
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: closed doors talking to people about getting rid of Pam

175
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: Bondy and replacing her with Lee Zelden as the new

176
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: attorney general. Now let me just point out, having observed

177
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: Donald Trump closely for decades, sometimes he'll start talking about

178
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: something and they'll talk to everybody behind the scenes. He'll

179
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: run it by everybody and it looks like, wow, look

180
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: at that, that's what they're going to do. But you know,

181
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: come back in two weeks it might have changed. He

182
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: does throw out stuff, give it a little time. Then

183
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: he might switch to something else, or he might just

184
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: drop it entirely, or after throwing it out and seeing

185
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: what the reaction is for a week or two, he

186
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: might actually do it. So we don't know, but he

187
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: has been talking behind closed doors about getting rid of

188
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: Pam Bondy replacing her with Lee Zelden. Lee Zelden, who's

189
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: the EPA director, has become a real star behind the scenes.

190
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: They love him in the administration. He's done a great

191
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: job and they're really really proud of him. So if

192
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: not the attorney General, he will move up into a

193
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: much more prominent role at some point. But keep an

194
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: eye on that Pam Bondy, they are well, he's not

195
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: happy with the way she handled the Epstein files. She

196
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: did nothing wrong, it's just the way she did it

197
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: made it all look wrong. You know, they're on my desk.

198
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: They'll be released. Well they weren't, really, it's just too

199
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: much bungling. Her optics were terrible. It looked like she

200
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: was covering something up. There really was nothing to cover

201
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: up that would harm President Trump. So keep an eye

202
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: on that. Also, keep an eye on Telsey Gabbard. They're

203
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: not too thrilled with her. But now, what would happen

204
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: if he removed Pam Bondy and put in Lee Zelden.

205
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: He would probably need Senate conference. He's already confirmed as

206
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: EPA director, but Attorney general's a different congressional committee. They'd

207
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: probably have to probably have to confirm him. And you know,

208
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: these people in Congress they're going to hold it up forever.

209
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: They're going to try to block it. They're going to

210
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: give him a hard time. It won't be easy to

211
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: get him confirmed. But that's okay because the Deputy Attorney General,

212
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: Todd Blanche, Trump is very very happy with him, and

213
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: he'd be acting Attorney General until the confirmation. So if

214
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: they couldn't get Zelden confirmed right away, they'd be very

215
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: happy having Todd blanche in there for a long time.

216
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: So that's possible that that could happen. It looks like

217
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: they're going to settle the shutdown. They've agreed the Democrats,

218
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: the Republicans. They've come up with a solution where they'll

219
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: fund homeland Security but make Ice something separate. It's a

220
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: simple solution. It settles the shutdown. Everything goes back to normal.

221
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: TSA agents now get paid, they'll get all their back pay,

222
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: they can come back to work. It looks great ho therever.

223
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: If you look at it, if you're a normal, reasonable person,

224
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: not a Washington swamp creature, you look at this, you know,

225
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you could have done this the first minute.

226
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: Why didn't you just do this the first second? Exactly?

227
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: They could have It's Democrats and Republicans to blame. They

228
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: could have done this immediately. It's a simple logical answer.

229
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: They could have done this the first day. But they

230
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: put everybody through hell with this for no reason at all.

231
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: Absolutely ridiculous. So they'll go back to work. One of

232
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: the things that helped was ice, the President sending ice

233
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: into the airports. It was brilliant because with the TSA

234
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: calling in sick and the four hour lines in total

235
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: chaos and people going crazy, it gave the Democrats a

236
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: lot of leverage. But when the President sent icy and

237
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: they did a great job straightening everything out, took away

238
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: the leverage that Democrats had, so they kind of caved

239
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: in on all this. Hey, our friend Charlemagne across the

240
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: hall over there on the air this morning, said he

241
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: had a fly. He went to La Guardia over the week.

242
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: He flew somewhere and he said he was shocked. The

243
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: ice agents were great. They were running everything, and he

244
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: couldn't believe how wonderful the ice agents were. They were friendly,

245
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: they were handing out water, they were helping everybody. He said,

246
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: it was absolutely amazing, very impressed with them. He said,

247
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: maybe that was the point, some sort of SYOP, you know,

248
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: operation to improve the image of Ice. No, actually, Ice

249
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: has always been that way. These ICE agents are great people,

250
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: great law enforcement public servants. They're wonderful. They're great to everybody,

251
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: except when you try to run them over with your car.

252
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: They're all great, they're fine, they're great. The way they

253
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: handle themselves. Now, if you've gotten an suv and aimed

254
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: it right at them, that they might get different. But

255
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: that's anybody and everybody. So people didn't understand that you've

256
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,359
Speaker 1: seen the ice, did they? Why were they so brutal? Well,

257
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: they're not. It's only when people are trying to kill them,

258
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: hit them, run them over, that's when they That's that's

259
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: when they get nasty. Hey, speaking to airports, you know

260
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: when you see those air traffic controllers and those towers

261
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: as wow, that's such a sophisticated in the communications equipment

262
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: they have in these planes. And then you see when

263
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: they have an accident. How stupid this stuff is? That truck,

264
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: the fire truck. You know yet you're cleared across the runway.

265
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: You just told the plane to land two seconds ago,

266
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: and they hit each This is unbelievable, stupid little mistakes.

267
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: Now here's a plane landing at LaGuardia contacts the tower.

268
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: What runway they use? This runway? Okay? That run well,

269
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense. It turns out he's landing at LaGuardia.

270
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: He contacts the wrong airport. He's talking to the tower

271
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: at Kennedy. You realize sort of disaster. This could have

272
00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: been listened to.

273
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: This exchange wild final for a sure. If it's.

274
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 5: Guardia, this is Kennedy Tower, Please go to La Guardia's towers.

275
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 6: Sorry, that's crazy.

276
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: You notice they all sound young. You know, remember years

277
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: ago you got in the plane. Pilot was always the

278
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: old guy with white hair. He was a chuck yeger looking,

279
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: a veteran that looked like he flew a million years

280
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: and a million plus Sully Sullenberger looking guy. Now you

281
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: see them, they look like they're twelve years old. They

282
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: look like they've been flying six months. So it's a

283
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: hell of a mistake to make contact the wrong airport,

284
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: the wrong tower. They give you the runway number, it

285
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. You realize you got the wrong airport. I mean,

286
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff didn't used to happen like this.

287
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: An anyway, we'll take some calls in a minute eight

288
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: hundred three to two one zero seven ten. Is the

295
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to Brian in Grantwich, Connecticut. Brian, how you doing?

296
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 6: Hey, Mark, good morning. I hope you're doing well.

297
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: So I loved you.

298
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 6: I loved your peace on the ice agents at the airport.

299
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 6: So my girlfriend's a little woke and she was flying

300
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 6: to Hawaii to see her her kids. And when she landed,

301
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 6: she called me and said, you know what, Brian, I've

302
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 6: never seen it smoother. And he could not have been nicer. Guys,

303
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 6: So that's a little bit of an idditt to what

304
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 6: you just mentioned before.

305
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: Right now, when you say your girlfriend's a little woke,

306
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: what does that mean? How woke is she?

307
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 6: Well, you know, she's uh, she's not voting for my guy,

308
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 6: I'll tell you that. But it's okay along very well,

309
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 6: ye right, But I just said, I share that with you.

310
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 6: And I met a couple of a couple of months

311
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 6: ago and.

312
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 7: Said, Jay House.

313
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: That's Tony, Tony's restaurant at Jay House, the biggest hot

314
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: spot of Greenwich. Of course there's Pulpo, there's a scale,

315
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: But Tony, very good, thanks for calling. Let's go to

316
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: uh Rich and Myrtle beach Rich. How you doing?

317
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 7: Thank Mark voting away here?

318
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 8: If she's not voting away here, at least, I hope

319
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 8: she's super hot, you know.

320
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: But well, I didn't want to. I didn't want to

321
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: say it, but obviously this woman is super hot. If

322
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: this guy is putting up with the woke craft, she

323
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: must look great.

324
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 8: You know. I want to prefer Trump behind the desk.

325
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 8: And in one paragraph he says that harmu straight has

326
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 8: nothing to do with our oil. And in the next

327
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 8: paragraph he says the price of oil and gas is

328
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 8: up because of almost truth, because of the straight. So

329
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 8: somebody who wrote that speech should have double checked that.

330
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: No, it is no, it's it's it's correct. What happens

331
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: is we don't get any oil from there. There's no

332
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: reason for us to pay anymore because we got we

333
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: make our own straight. So home its doesn't affect us.

334
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: But it's these oil guys that these JR. Ewings that

335
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: run all the oil companies. They all conspire that our

336
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: oil is that's right West Texas Intermediate. They'll claim, well,

337
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: we have to raise it because the world market they

338
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: raise it anyway. So he could step in and do something,

339
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: but it's.

340
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 8: Going to be over.

341
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 7: I hope he does.

342
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 8: I hope he does.

343
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: No reason to it. It'll be over in three weeks,

344
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: no reason.

345
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 8: You know, as far as NATO is concerned, you brought

346
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 8: up a good point. They're totally feckless. They're useless. They

347
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 8: have a war on their own continent for the first

348
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 8: time since World War Two, and they can't deal with

349
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 8: any of it on their own without the US help.

350
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 8: They're terrible. They're like babies.

351
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they're absolutely worthless. You're right, we got to

352
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: get out of NATO. Also. You know these organizations, the

353
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: United Nations, nineteen forty eight it was created. It's been

354
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: over there for nineteen forty eight. How many years is that?

355
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: It's like eighty something years. Name one thing they've ever

356
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: done for anybody anything, United Nations. Get rid of that

357
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: whole place, close it down, get rid of NATO. Let's

358
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: go to David Long Island. David, how you doing.

359
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 9: I'm good. But I do think there's a reason to

360
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 9: stay in NATO. But it's not because our allies are

361
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 9: dependable or anything like that. The reason we should stay

362
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 9: in NATO is because by treaty, it forces this country

363
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 9: to spend five percent of GDP on defense. If we

364
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 9: ever have a Democrat Democrat administration in the future, they

365
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 9: will gut our military down to nothing and we will

366
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 9: be butt naked if we ever need.

367
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: That's a good point. But remember under Biden, under Jimmy Carter,

368
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: we did gut the military even though we were NATO members,

369
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: So you could still gut it anyway. They just spend

370
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: the money.

371
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 8: Jam.

372
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 9: Hey, you think you can gut it, but you can't

373
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 9: with China building ships like crazy.

374
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm not saying you should. I'm just

375
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: saying it is possible. They did it under Jimmy Carter,

376
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: they do it under Biden. You still have to spend

377
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 1: the five percent. It's a NATO rule. But what they

378
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: do is instead of building planes and ships and tanks,

379
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: they'll spend the money on diversity programs, diversity training. They'll

380
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: just spend it differently. That's the problem. Let's go to

381
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: Bill in Hamburg, New Jersey. Bill, how you doing good?

382
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 7: Mark?

383
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 2: Thank you? A quick word about the moonshot here today.

384
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 2: First of all, the camera covers was terrible. I was

385
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 2: very disappointed about that. But when I lived in Florida,

386
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: I used to go to moonshots, Dirk shiding, The ground

387
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: is vibrating, the water in that lake is shimmering and shivering.

388
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 2: But I'm asking myself a question from when I used

389
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 2: to go to them back in the late sixties, fifty

390
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 2: years later, what the hell have I benefited from any moonshots?

391
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 2: And what will I benefit this one?

392
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: You actually have benefited a lot from the space programs

393
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: because they've invented a ton of stuff in the space

394
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: programs that helped us later. That's where microwaves were invented,

395
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: MRIs were in. There's a list you can go online

396
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: and find it by like two hundred important inventions that

397
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: came as a result of the space program. So that's now.

398
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: Some people will argue that's in the sixties seventies. You

399
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: don't really need that anymore because Silicon Valley and Apple

400
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: and all the tech companies they're now doing stuff that

401
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: comes out with all these inventions, so without Some people

402
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: will argue, if you look at the last twenty years,

403
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: more inventions have come from those tech companies than from

404
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: the space program. I think the most fascinating thing is

405
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties, seventies. You're watching the rocket take off the capsule.

406
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: What it looks like, What the rocket looks like. It's

407
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: a billion years later, it's twenty twenty six. I'm watching

408
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: this just a little rocket looks exactly the same. It's

409
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: the same looking capsule. Nothing changed in fifty years since

410
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: the last time you went to the moon, same look

411
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: of everything. You think it would look like a tesla

412
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: or something. You think it would look entirely different. Now, Hey,

413
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: when we come back, Steve Moore. We hope Steve Moore

414

Speaker 1: will be with us next lots to talk to him

415
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: about what about these oil prices, gas prices, stock market.

00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: We'll get to all of that in a moment. On

Speaker 8: Well? Happy?

430
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 7: He stared everyone, And so we got to uh, I

431
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 7: thought Trump was good last night. I think we are

432
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 7: coming to the conclusion of the situation around and we're

433
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 7: going to get those straights. So for moves open and

434
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 7: when I happens, I'm here to tell you that the

435
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 7: gas price will head back down to both to three

436
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 7: dollars or less.

437
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 8: Now.

438
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 7: I know in New York area pay maybe a little

439
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 7: bit more than that, but nationwide, I think we're going

440
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 7: to see gas prices back down to three dollars now,

441
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 7: and it'll take maybe a month. But this is a

442
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 7: temporary situation, and we're going to see once we get

443
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 7: that gas price back down, the economy is going to

444
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 7: be roaring back to life.

445
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't get any oil from the straights HORM

446
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean really almost nothing. So the WTI and these

447
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: people that just raise the price anyway, it just shows

448
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: you how j are you and these guys are You

449
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: can't trust these guys.

450
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 8: Can you? Well, so what's going on?

451
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 7: I get asked this question all the time.

452
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: How come?

453
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 7: I want to give you a few statistics. Number One,

454
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 7: the United States is the number one oil and gas

455
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 7: producer in the world. I don't know if you're aware

456
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 7: of that, but we are. We produce more oil and

457
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 7: gas than Saudi Arabia, than Russia, than Iran, than Venezuela,

458
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 7: and so we're number one in the world. Number two,

459
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 7: we are actually an oil and gas exporter. On that

460
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 7: did you know that we export? We produce more oil

461
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 7: and gas than we consume. That's about the first time

462
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 7: in a long, long, long time that that's happened. And

463
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 7: it's partly because the you know, the shale revolution and

464
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 7: Trump's drill baby drill strategies. So then people ask, okay, well,

465
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 7: if that's the case, why are we paying you know,

466
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 7: one hundred dollars a barrel for oil. It's because it's

467
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 7: a globally traded commodity, so the price is not set

468
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 7: in any country. It's set by world demand and world

469
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 7: supply and the fact that you know about you know,

470
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 7: I think it's about twenty percent of the world's oil,

471
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 7: maybe a little higher than that comes from the straits

472
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 7: of Romus. You've got a supply chain problem. And when

473
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 7: that happens, the price goes up. But my point is

474
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 7: Mark that what goes up quickly can come down quickly.

475
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 7: And when that happens, you're going to see the stock

476
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 7: market roar back to life, and you're going to see prices. Now, look,

477
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 7: we're going to get a lousy number for the consumer price.

478
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 7: It'll probably come out in a week or two, and

479
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 7: it's going to show, you know, a big increase in

480
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 7: consumer prices because gas is higher, and when energy prices

481
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 7: go up, price, if a lot of things go up.

482
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 7: But I'm feeling pretty good that that's going to be

483
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 7: a situation that is that has resolved because I want

484
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 7: to get the economy booming, and it was remember twenty

485
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 7: twenty five was a blockbuster. You're for the economy, as

486
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 7: was Trump's first term.

487
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so when the oil price, when it drops to

488
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: sixty dollars a barrel, those oil company heads aren't that

489
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: thrilled about that, are they? They kind of like it?

490
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 8: High, of course they like it.

491
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 7: I I mean, of course they do. If you have

492
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 7: if you have a lemonade stand and nobody else says

493
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 7: lemon lemonade, you're gonna make a lot of money, right,

494
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 7: And so that's the way the free market works. But

495
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 7: I'm afraid that we're going to try mark some of

496
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 7: the stupid policies that Jimmy Carter put in place in

497
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 7: the nineteen seventies. The last time we had a big

498
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 7: oil spike up and that wasn't the last time, but

499
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 7: one of the more recent times when the field remember

500
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 7: the Iranian hostage situation at the embass and so on.

501
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 7: But we had we had all these stupid policies that

502
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 7: came out of Washington, including a what they call a

503
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 7: windfall profits tax. Of the old companies says, oh no,

504
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 7: you can't make money up. So guess what they stopped

505
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 7: producing because they put in this, and so then the

506
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 7: price wentn't even higher.

507
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: The stock market. Uh, we always look to the stock market,

508
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: what do they think? What are they? Aren't they really

509
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: always overreacting to everything. They're not the best barometer of anything,

510
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: are they?

511
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 7: Well, it's it's compared to what you know, he's going

512
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 7: to ask a bunch of economists on CNBC here. I mean,

513
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 7: so I think that the it's probably the best forward

514
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 7: looking barometer we have. But it, you know, it, it

515
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 7: really moves, you know, still saying it moves on feed

516
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 7: fear and greed that would drive the stock market, and

517
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 7: right now the fear is prevailing. But look, we ive

518
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 7: told you this many times. When I got started in

519
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 7: this business, that doubt Jones was about a thousand. Now

520
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 7: we're close to fifty thousand, so you know, we've had

521
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 7: a nice run up. And look, the United States is

522
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 7: in a such a great position to be the dominant country.

523
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 7: We've got to keep being, you know, the dominant energy country.

524
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 7: And more of the lessons of this is, by the way,

525
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 7: let's produce so much oil and gas here at home

526
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 7: that we don't have to worry about what's happening. And

527
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 7: countries like Iran or Russia or remember that we saw

528
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 7: big spike up when the Russians invaded Ukraine. You know that,

529
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 7: y you know, so we we keep living through this

530
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 7: and I want to disengage from a lot of these

531
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 7: other countries by just making us energy self sufficient, which

532
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 7: basically Trump is done.

533
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 8: Yeah.

534
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: Hey, Steve Moore, if you owned a restaurant and all

535
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden thirty percent of your customers stopped coming,

536
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: you'd say, I got to change things. I got to

537
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: make some cheap You got these blue cities where in

538
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: New York, LA, everybody's moving out. Yes, why wouldn't the

539
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: politicians say, hey, we better change something our tax policy

540
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: or something.

541
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 7: So this is a very big story. We've covered it

542
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 7: in our hotline this morning, which is the three metro

543
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 7: areas that have lost the most population since twenty twenty.

544
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 7: You know what they are?

545
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: I would say New York in LA.

546
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, And you know what the third one is

547
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 7: my hometown Chicago. Yeah, So those are you know, and

548
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 7: I look for for the last hundred years, those have

549
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 7: been the three and the most important cities in the world.

550
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 7: You know, New York was the financial capital, Los Angeles

551
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 7: became the entertainment capital, Chicago was the commoditi's capital. And

552
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 7: these are great, great cities and they're being destroyed by

553
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 7: left wing socialist what is mon dom com'mself a democrat

554
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 7: socialist whatever that means. Well, you know, how is it

555
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 7: that such a great city like New York. Can the

556
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 7: voters of New York really be that stupid? I mean,

557
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 7: as I said in the Highline today, you wouldn't hire

558
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 7: these people to change a light bulb. You know Brendan Johnson,

559
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 7: the ones who's he's the mayor of Chicago. He's got

560
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 7: a nice smile, just like Mondommie has a nice smile.

561
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 7: He's a good speech. But it doesn't not to do anything.

562
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 7: The same thing you know in California where the mayor

563
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 7: they are allowed to burn baby burn. Remember it burned

564
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 7: down all the areas of Los Angeles. So it's sad

565
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 7: to me, it really is. It's leadership matters. And I remember,

566
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 7: as you do, when Rudy Giuliani came in and within

567
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 7: eighteen months he fixed the city.

568
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 8: Remember that.

569
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, but the idea if you got rid of

570
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: the tax, no state tax, no this tax, that the

571
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 1: whole state would collapse. You wouldn't be able to fund anything.

572
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: It would be terrible. We've tried it out in Florida

573
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: and Texas and what were the rest exactly?

574
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean New York. So we mentioned the three

575
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 7: cities that are you know, in the most rapid decline

576
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 7: and now you know, here's the thing. It's kind of amazing.

577
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 7: San Antonio and Austin, Texas or two of the fastest

578
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 7: growing cities in America. They are When you and I

579
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 7: were growing up, they were kind of sleepy southern, small

580
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 7: southern towns. And how did you know Austin and San

581
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 7: Antonio are both in the top ten of cities in

582
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 7: the country.

583
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: What, oh my god, wow?

584
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 8: And with no tax amazing.

585
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 7: So no income taxes. Yeah, and that is because they

586
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 7: have no income tacks that are growing. And then you've

587
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 7: got places like uh, I was just in Naples, Florida,

588
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 7: one of the fastest growing cities. You know, Tampa is booming.

589
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 7: So gee, what are all these cities have a common? Oh,

590
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 7: they have no income tax. What are the cities they

591
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 7: have the highest income taxt oh, Los Angeles and New York.

592
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: So when the mayor says, or any of these democrats

593
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: rich should start paying their fair share, what is there?

594
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: What is their fair share? I think they're already paying

595
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: more than it, aren't they?

596
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 8: Well, it's overall they do.

597
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 7: But you know what's happened in these states like California,

598
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 7: Washington State, others that are looking at these these wealth taxes. Now,

599
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 7: guess what the wealth wealthy move they moved to. You know, see,

600
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 7: how is going to be see a big decline if

601
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 7: they passed that, uh, that wealth tax in California, it

602
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 7: is going to be uh it's just a sprint out

603
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 7: of the state. But do you see you know, uh,

604
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 7: Elizabeth Warren has a solution to this. You know what

605
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 7: her solution is, no tax everybody in the country.

606
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 8: Let's have a federal you know.

607
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 9: Now there are there were.

608
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 7: Eleven European countries that had wealth taxes, and ten of

609
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 7: the eleven have repealed them because they don't work.

610
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: But they but liberals ne for Lauren Unbelievad.

611
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 8: Hey.

612
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to get the best news in

Speaker 1: I think Jamie Diamond reads your hotline. Boy's out there.

616
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, he said exactly what I just said on your

617
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 7: show that you know, if these states keep taxing the rich,

618
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 7: the rich are going to be gone.

619
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

620
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 7: So, uh he's pretty rich himself, by the way.

621
00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, great stuff, and everybody to get your book.

622
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: The Trump Economic miracle. Are you working on a new book,

623
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: You know we are.

624
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 7: It's a red state, Blue State book about exactly what

625
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 7: we've been talking about. Why are these once great blue

626
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 7: states and this in a condition of such decline and

627
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 7: it's outbreaking. So let's let's make every state like Texas

628
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 7: and Florida. Let's make everybody Richard guy.

629
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,880

645
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: with us in the next hour. Here on seven to

646
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: ten wor.

647
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 8: Inside from the inside, this is seven ten wrs.

648
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 5: Mark Moon Show.

649
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: Well, you know, the mayor keeps saying that we're so broke.

650
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: We got we gotta raise taxes, we gotta do this.

651
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: I just cut the budget. Cut the budget. It's way

652
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: too much. Our budget is double the budget of Florida,

653
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: and Florida is a bigger state with a bigger population.

654
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: So but now they're looking at money making schemes. For instance,

655
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Bridge. Now, did you ever notice under the

656
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Bridge It seems to be something under there big. Well,

657
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 1: it turns out there are vaults, in their big vaults

658
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: underneath the book Brooklyn Bridge. And in those vaults there's

659
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand square feet of space. That's a lot of space.

660
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: Thirteen thousand square feet is huge. So what are they

661
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: doing there. They've been storing city vehicles in there. They've

662
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: turned it into like just a parking garage, which is

663
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: not necessary. The city has plenty of parkings all over

664
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: the place. So the new plan now is to get

665
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: those cars out of there and turn that space into

666
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: rental vaults. You can, in the words, you're can rent

667
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: a vault underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. They'll break them up

668
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: into units, kind of like storage units, but bigger, fancier.

669
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: And they think they've looked at this. They think they'll

670
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: make about seventeen million a year off this space renting

671
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: an out to people. Seventeen million a year, and that

672
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: would start probably by the end of the year. So

673
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: it's a good idea. I mean, nobody really I actually

674
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: was in two thousand and one, I think it was

675
00:34:55,360 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: right after nine to eleven they closed up that space

676
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: and just put city vehicles in there. They used to

677
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: use it for art shows. It used to be a

678
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: pretty good space. So they want to bring that back

679
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: and get that seventeen million yere. Now we got a

680
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: city council speaker who's very very, very common sense, not

681
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: a crazy left wing cook like mom Donnie. So Mam

682
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: Donnie wants to raise taxes, budget shortfalls. She wants to

683
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: cut the budget, which is what you should do. We

684
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: probably half that budget is total waist fraud bloat. She

685
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: wants to cut two billion out of the budget. Just

686
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: cut two billion of it right there, And she's identified

687
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: where you could do it. You'd save a lot of money.

688
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: Great idea. Now, of course, Mom, Donnie going crazy. He

689
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: won't do that.

690
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 5: Speaker Menon's preliminary budget proposal would result in slashing billions

691
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 5: of dollars from agency budgets, which would force the city

692
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 5: to cut services, double counting previously identified savings, overestimating revenue,

693
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 5: an exaggerating debt. Service savings does nothing to close a deficit.

694
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you talk about services, it's waste, fraud, bloat.

695
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the services stink everywhere. Even the money we

696
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: spend on the pothole repair team. Potholes never get repaired,

697
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: and if they do, they don't last. Cut the budget anyway.

698
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: In the next hour, Jimmy Fayalo will be with us. Oh,

699
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: we'll get to the battle President Trump versus Bruce Springsteen.

700
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: We'll get to that after the news. Hey, don't forget.

701
