1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: Democrats and Trump haters would like to make that like 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: a national thing every year, like you know, nine to eleven, 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,799 Speaker 1: where the whole country stops to remember, or they'd want 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: to make it like a pearl harbor kind of. It's 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: not going to work. Those of you that don't remember 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: January sixth, was that terrible trespassing incident at the Capitol? 7 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: I remember. But here's the democrats are now. You know, 8 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: all the universities have been corrupted, many of our high schools. 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: You got all these left wing teachers. You got all 10 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: this left wing propaganda being taught in schools now, and 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: this is why you get people that younger, people that 12 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: will vote from Mamdani twenty thirty years of being indoctrinated 13 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: in these left wing classrooms. Well, now they want to 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: add January sixth to the history books and have that 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: taught in every classroom. 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: Now. 17 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: Of course, they're not going to teach the whole story, 18 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: as democrats do or fake news does. They'll just give 19 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: you three or four pieces of the puzzle and leave 20 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: out ninety eight percent of it, so they won't tell 21 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: you that President Trump offered ten thousand troops and urged 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: them to take the ten thousand troops to guard the 23 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: capital that day. It was just another demonstration like the 24 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: other two hundred and seventy five that had happened that 25 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: whole summer in America. But Nancy Pelosi and the mayor 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: of DC decided not to accept the offer of the 27 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: ten thousand troops. They were told four hundred thousand demonstrators 28 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: would show up. They turned down the ten thousand troops. 29 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,559 Speaker 1: And by the way, demonstrations of that size were taking 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: place all the time in Washington when Trump was president. 31 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: Once remember at the Lincoln Memorial, and he surrounded it 32 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: with troops with machine guns and nobody got near the 33 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial. The worst one was when Democratic protesters tried 34 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: to take the White House, tried to come over the fence. 35 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: Remember Trump put out those tweets if you do come 36 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: over the fence, you're going to see the most vicious 37 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: dogs you've ever seen. But he surrounded the place with troops. 38 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: There was still a hell of a battle at the 39 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: White House fence. Over two hundred law enforcement ended up 40 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: in the hospital after that. But January sixth, it was 41 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: just another one of those, not as bad as the 42 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: one at the White House. But Nancy Pelosi made the 43 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: decision that she would try to guard the building with 44 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: just the building security guys the Capitol Hill Police, which 45 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: it's basically go it is the security guys at the 46 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: building instead of actual troops and Capitol police. They're nice, 47 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: but they there's only a couple of hundred of them, 48 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: and they can't control four hundred thousand demonstrators, so they'll 49 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: leave that out of the discussion. In fact, Nancy Pelosi 50 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: to this day denies it, although there's video of her 51 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: admitting to it that night that she turned it down 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: and this is all her fault. But she'll deny it, 53 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: and they'll teach the fake version of January sixth. They'll say, 54 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: they'll just keep using the word insurrection. It was an insurrection. Meantime, 55 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: they arrested twelve hundred of those demonstrators, not a single 56 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: one has been charged with insurrection. And remember they charge 57 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: these guys with everything they could hit him with. Each 58 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: one got hit with twelve charges, nineteen charges, twenty anything 59 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: they could charge him with, and nobody got charged with insurrection. 60 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: But we'll see see what happens if they can stop 61 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: that from going into the history books. Hey. TV ratings 62 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: for the year twenty twenty five, you know the New 63 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: Year's Eve show on ABC, which was Dick Clark's rock 64 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: in New Year's Eve for years now it's Ryan Seacrest 65 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: did pretty well, got eighteen million viewers and today's broadcast 66 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: TV World that is enormous. That's huge, huge, and got 67 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: seventeen million the year before, so it was a definite increase. 68 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: It went up. Andy Cohen of course, looked ridiculous, getting 69 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: drunk out of his mind, going into a drunken rant 70 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: about Eric Adams, and then Adams was asked about it 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: the next day. What do you got to say to 72 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: Andy Cohen who called you all kinds of names, and 73 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: he said, I got My response is two letters, and 74 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: you thought it must be f you or something like 75 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: My response is two letters AA, which is a great response. 76 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: And now Adam's tweeting about Andy Cohen alcoholics anonymous. So 77 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: it is a problem. You know, people get drunk on 78 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, but if you're on live television in 79 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: front of eighteen million people, you'd think you'd have a 80 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: little discipline not to get that drunk. But it was 81 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: a big night for ABC with the eighteen million viewers. 82 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: Fox News had one of the best years ever. Four 83 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: point one million viewers was the average. That's like way 84 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: beyond any other cable network four point one million viewers. 85 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: Biggest show of the year was The Five and Jesse 86 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: Waters and of course Hannity. Those are the three biggest 87 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: shows MSNBC, CNN a bad year, not a lot. The 88 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: most watched telecast of twenty twenty five number one, right 89 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: the super Bowl, Number two. Tracker The hell is Tracker? 90 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's one of those drama shows. I know, 91 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: I do know. It's about that whatever he is, a detective, 92 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: whatever he is who tracks down missing people. Nineteen episodes, 93 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: but it did really well. The NFL was the biggest 94 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: thing on television all year. If you take the top 95 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: one hundred things of twenty twenty five, forty five of 96 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 1: them almost half were NFL games. That's really the only 97 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: thing keeping broadcast TV alive. Ratings are down dramatically. Everything 98 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: in broadcast TV ratings are way down, but the NFL 99 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: doing really well. Tim Waltz, you know, he said he 100 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: will not seek reelection, and I don't blame him. If 101 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: eighteen billion was stolen right under your nose in your 102 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: own state, you got no business seeking reelection. By the way, 103 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: the attorney general of Minnesota, that left wing kook, Keith Ellison, 104 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: Why hasn't he resigned? If you're the attorney general and 105 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: eighteen billion was stolen right into your nose and you 106 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: didn't catch it, why hasn't he resigned? Now people are 107 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: calling for Waltz to resign immediately. He won't seek reelection, 108 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: but people are saying this is so bad, this scandal 109 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: so horrifying, that he should resign immediately. He refuses to 110 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: do that. 111 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: I'm not going anywhere, and you can make all your 112 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 3: requests for me to resign over my dead body will 113 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 3: that happen. I will fight this thing till the very 114 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 3: end to make this state better. And the question that 115 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 3: I think they need to decide is is when did 116 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 3: the guy in the White House resign? Anytime I get 117 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 3: drug into being next to Donald Trump? God help me, 118 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: I don't want to be judged against that guy. 119 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: Now, apparently in private they told him he should resign, 120 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: and he threw a temper tantrument and went nuts. And 121 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: then the rest of that speech was this whole thing 122 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: about every minute I spend on my own political interests 123 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: is a minute. I can't spend defending the people in 124 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity. Well, 125 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: I think if eighteen billion went missing, we could agree. 126 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: He's not very good at that. Anyway, he is suffering. 127 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, want to make fun of a 128 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: guy with medical problems. He is suffering from Trump arrangement syndrome. 129 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: Game's over for him now. It was all me. I 130 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: was the bad guy or whatever. 131 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: Well, put up or shut up now and tell us 132 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 3: what you're going to do to make this state better. 133 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 3: Answer these tough questions. Quit hiding behind this and expect 134 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: for the next eleven months for me to ride you 135 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 3: like you've never been ridden. 136 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. But what's Trump going 137 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: to do about it? Well, right now they're going in 138 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: and arresting the criminals who stole the eighteen billion, not million, 139 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: eighteen billion. They're arresting them one by one. This is 140 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: like the Bernie Madoff cleanup. You know, they had to 141 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: go after everybody, but then they had to claw back 142 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: the money. Well, the Feds are starting to do that. 143 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: You know a lot of these ring leaders of this 144 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: fraud and it was just an out and out fraud 145 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: scheme by these Somalis in in Minnesota. Many of them 146 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: took the money and bought mansions and Porsches and luxury 147 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: goods and all sorts of expensive real estate. Well here's one. 148 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: One woman was convicted. The court is now a federal charges. 149 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: The court is now clawing back everything, making her sell 150 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: the houses, the Porsche, the cars, the Rolls Royces and 151 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: getting the money back. So it takes a while. You know, 152 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: with the Bernie Madoff stuff, that was like fifty billion, 153 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,119 Speaker 1: but they got back like thirty billion of it. So 154 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 1: they'll get they'll probably get back nine billion of this money. 155 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: They'll claw it back slowly but surely. And that's what 156 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: you do about it. Oh, I forget George Conway. Now, 157 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: this guy is going to be great. We are so 158 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: lucky that he has come to New York and he's 159 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: going to run for the Gerald Nadler, a congressional seat 160 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: that's open. Now you might be saying, well, what if 161 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: he wins. He's a left wing crazy, Yeah, but so 162 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: as Nadler, So it's no change at all. And that 163 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: district in New York, you're always going to get a 164 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: left wing cooks. So you might as well, get this guy, 165 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: because he's so silly and such a clown. George Conway. 166 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: He was married at one time to Kelly and Conway, 167 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: who's great and you might say, well, how could that be. Well, 168 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: back then, you know, he was one of the most 169 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: brilliant lawyers in New York, brilliant attorney, a very successful guy, 170 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: and then he was married to her. But we've seen 171 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: this happen before where somebody goes nuts. And Conway was 172 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: hanging around with all the big Conservatives and Republicans, George Conway, 173 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: and then at some point we've seen it with other people. 174 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: They they just snap, they just go nuts, and all 175 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: of a sudden they become a left wing cook with 176 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: Trump derangement syndrome. But he's going to run for this 177 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: seat on the west side of Manhattan. Now, you might 178 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: be saying to yourself, wait a minute, he lives in Maryland. 179 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: He doesn't even live here. Well, he's a Democrat. You 180 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: can do whatever the hell you want when you're a Democrat. 181 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: And he's got raised money and he's got his first 182 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: campaign ads. The George Conway campaign is underway. As one 183 00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: of the ads, we. 184 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 4: President a mendacious president, a criminal president. Whose masked agents 185 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 4: are disappearing people from our streets. Who's breaking international law 186 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 4: and he's running our federal government like a mob protection racket. 187 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: This is why this guy's going to be great. This hysterical, 188 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: hyperbolg and nonsense. And he's mendacious, which I think is bad. 189 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what it is, but it's bad. 190 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: You don't want to be mendacious. He's disappearing people, it's 191 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: called arresting people. I love the and it's a violation 192 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: of international law. You're going to hear this a lot 193 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: from Democrats, especially with Venezuela. He's violated international law. Nobody 194 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: knows what the hell he's talking about. There's no such 195 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: thing as international law. Nobody knows what they're referring to. 196 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: Where's this international law you're talking about. There is no 197 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: international law. The only thing you could point to. I 198 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: asked Greg Jarrett, the great legal experd, what the hell 199 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: are they talking about international He said, maybe they're talking 200 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: about the UN charter United Nations. But they're not a 201 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: law enforcement agency. They have no law, they have no authority, 202 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: they have no standing at all. So there's no such 203 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: thing as international law. But the commercial goes. 204 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 4: On, he doesn't like me. I don't like what he's 205 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 4: done to our great country, and now I'm running for 206 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 4: Congress to take the fight directly back to him. 207 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: On your behalf, you go, he does not like what 208 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: he's done to this country. But Joe Biden, he ola, 209 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: he was thrilled about that. Thrilled. But this guy's going 210 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: to be great. We're so lucky to get him here. 211 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: This is so good for us. We're going to have 212 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: nothing but amusement from this. George Conway, you remember, he's 213 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: the guy that ran that crazy Lincoln project with the 214 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: same thing. Nothing he did work because it was all 215 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: too over the top hysterical. 216 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 5: I don't intend to be doing this when I'm sixty 217 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 5: six or sixty seven or sixty eight. You know, I'm 218 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 5: kind of like a special teams player. I want to 219 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 5: do this for one reason, and that is to help 220 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 5: get this our governmental system back on track with something 221 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 5: back to normal, at least back toward normal. 222 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: Here you go. His idea normal was Joe Biden, you know, 223 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: the great stephen A. Smith. Let me see if I 224 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: can find that quote. It's a very important point because 225 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: a lot of these Democrats they're going nuts and screaming 226 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: and yelling. Stephen A. Smith is a Democrat, but he 227 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: he's like Bill Maher occasional bouts of common sense. But 228 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: he stunned a Democratic audience by explaining to them because 229 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: they can't get how Donald Trump gets elected. But Stephen A. 230 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: Smith explained to him that for all the things they 231 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: hate about Donald Trump, to normal voters, to most normal voters, 232 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: they think Trump is a lot closer to normal than 233 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: today's Democrats are. And you could look at Trump and say, 234 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: why he's doing things that's not presidential? Why does he 235 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: behave like that way? But whatever he does, it's a 236 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: lot more normal than Democrats are. Right now, Hey, there's 237 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: a new phenomenon. I don't like this at all. You know, 238 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: you know the restaurant Carbone. It opened I don't know 239 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: about ten years ago in the village Carbone, an Italian restaurant. 240 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: It's sort of it was just a gimmick actually for 241 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: younger you know, the whole new generation. It was like 242 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: old school red sauce Italian food. But to these younger people, 243 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: they'd never seen that. I mean, you could go to 244 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: Patsy's and it's much better there, but they never saw 245 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: anything like Carbone and the checker tablecloths. I never saw 246 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: anything like that. So it took off. It became huge. 247 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: And when you become the hottest trendiest restaurant, then in 248 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: the old days, you were the hottest trendiest restaurant, and 249 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: anybody would come to New York. I gotta go there. 250 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: I want to. Well, now they opened. When you're at 251 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: the trendiest place, you open everywhere. Then there was Carbone Miami. 252 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: Then there was Carbone Paris, Carbone, Los Angeles. Carbone now 253 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: it's just opening in the Bellagio. So the reason for this, 254 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: you get these big hedge fund guys and whenever it's 255 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: the hottest restaurant in the world. You know, if you 256 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: want to always get a table, you bribe the matri 257 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: d or something. But if you really want to get 258 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: treated well, you get friendly with the owner and you 259 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: offer to put up millions and millions and millions to 260 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: open some more restaurants. That's why you see like Ovre 261 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: on sixtieth Street, that became a big hotspot. Next thing 262 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: you know, there's an Ova on fiftieth Street. Next thing 263 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: you know, there's an avraa over here. Next thing you know, 264 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: there's one in Beverly Hills, there's one in Miami. But 265 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: this phenomenon is spreading everywhere, and it's not good. Everything 266 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: is becoming a chain now. For instance, Sally's Pizza New Haven. 267 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: There's Frank Peppi's, Sally's. These were like the two. You 268 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: drive to New Haven just to have these pizzas. Everybody's 269 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: saying are the best in the world. Well, next thing, 270 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: you know, Frank Peppy's opening everywhere everywhere. There's one in 271 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: the Fairfield, there's one in Stanford, there's one here, there's 272 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: one in Yonkers, there's one. They're all over the place. 273 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: There's a couple of them in flor They're in Nashville, 274 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: they're now. The other one is Sally. Sally's just announced 275 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: they're opening two one hundred and fifty of them, two 276 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty of them. Now, the problem is 277 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: everybody would go to New Haven because it was such 278 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: phenomenal pizza. When you open two hundred and fifty of them, 279 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: you're not gonna have the same pizza everywhere. It's not possible. 280 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't work. And they're all doing this, you know, 281 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: in Queens and Utopia Boulevard for a million years. Utopia Bagels. 282 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: They were always the best bagels in York. People would 283 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: drive out there just to go to Utopia Begels. They 284 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: were so amazing. Then they opened one in Manhattan, and 285 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: it's always the same story. It's not as good as 286 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: the original. Now there's four in New York City. Now 287 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: they're opening all over. Now there's going to be one 288 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: in London. They're opening here, they're opening. They've got to 289 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: stop this stuff. These are like our finest food things, 290 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: and they're all becoming franchises. Now. McDonald's can figure out 291 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: how to do it, but these people can't. It doesn't work. 292 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: It's diluting the whole thing. Even the top restaurants of 293 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: the world that John George, Danielle all these guys. Now 294 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: instead of one restaurant, they got seventy five, and they're 295 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: not the same quality. You can't you can't have seventy 296 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: five be the same quality. It's got to stop. Hey, 297 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: we'll take some calls.

She was not 342 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 8: a quoted any military arned. 343 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 4: I know. 344 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: It's a it's a very important thing. Ashley Babbitt was 345 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: murdered in cold blood by a Capitol Hill policeman she's 346 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: one of the protesters January sixth, but she's a military 347 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: veteran war hero, she's a protester. But they were coming 348 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: in through the window. She's coming through and that officer 349 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: takes out his gun and just shoots her, just shoots 350 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: her in cold blood. And he's still there. A lot 351 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: of people are talking to the present about this. Something 352 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: should be done to this guy, at least fire him, 353 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: get him off the Capitol Hill Police. But a lot 354 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: of people in Congress have been defending this guy. Now 355 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: one reason, and this guy has a history of very 356 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,479 Speaker 1: reckless behavior with his gun. It was an incident once 357 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: at his house where he just started firing at cars. 358 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: I mean, he should be removed. But a lot of 359 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: people in Congress, big Congress people are afraid to go 360 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: after anybody in the Capitol Hill Police because they're the 361 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill Police. They've seen a lot, they know a 362 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: lot of secrets about these guys.

That innocent woman who was 389 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 9: five foot four Air Force veteran Ashley Babbitt gunned down murdered, Yes. 390 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: By that awful Capitol hillcop who should be and a 391 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: lot of people are talking to the President constantly about 392 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: going after this guy, finally getting some justice for Ashley Babbott. 393 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike in New Jersey. Mike, how you doing? 394 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 10: Yeah, Hi, Mark, I enjoy your show. 395 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: Thanks. 396 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 10: My good question. The Affordable Care Act. My son is 397 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 10: being hammered his premiums of Skyrocket and we just don't 398 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 10: know what to do his coverage. Obviously he can't afford. 399 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 10: There's no subsidies anymore. Is there anything you can suggest, 400 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 10: as Trump have anything in the works? Well, Congress doing anything? 401 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: That's the problem. This will all come up at the 402 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: end of the month when they'll have to vote to 403 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: continue the subsidies. It's over that issue that the government 404 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: shut down. Happened last time. It could happen again. I 405 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,719 Speaker 1: would imagine in the end, because you've got midterms coming up, 406 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: the President will sort of agree to continue that subsidy 407 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: for a while. His plan is much better instead of 408 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: the constant subsidizing this Unaffordable Care Act is fix it, 409 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: fix it. A lot of that'll be privatizing, and the 410 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: whole system is totally government corrupt you know, which means 411 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: you know, you get an MRI, they charge you three 412 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars for it. Meantime, there's another person getting 413 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: an MRI somewhere else where. It's eight hundred dollars. It's 414 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: all of these ridiculous finaggling. The problem to the Affordable 415 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: Care Act. It was just a gift to insurance agencies 416 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: to charge whatever the hell they want to charge. It 417 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: needs to be cleaned up. So they'll probably have to 418 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: extend the subsidies for the rest of this year while 419 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: they figure out how to fix this Affordable Care Act. Hey, 420 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: when we come back and culter, we'll be with us 421 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 1: next on seven to ten wor the follow her on substack, 422 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: where she's got just columns and videos and podcasts, interviews, 423 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff, a lot of content and culture 424 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: dot substack dot com and culture. 425 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 11: How you doing fantastic? How are you mark? Some IM 426 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 11: miss talking to you the last couple week. 427 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, but what a first week of twenty twenty six. 428 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: Look at all that's happened in one week. You got 429 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: rid of Tim Waltz, Maduro everything. What do you think 430 00:22:59,080 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: I know? 431 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, I'll not letting the grass grow under his seat. 432 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 11: We have a short amount of time. I think it's fantastic. 433 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 11: I have a column coming out on it later. I 434 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 11: want to go back to the era of a semi 435 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 11: competent CIA, which we haven't had recently but may have now, 436 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 11: installing puppet governments throughout Latin America. They're obviously incapable of 437 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 11: governing themselves. And things were going great when the CIA 438 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 11: and the State Department and John Foster Dulles were running things, 439 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 11: knocking out the incompetence, I mean, the problem. George Kennon, 440 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 11: the legendary diplomat, went took a tour through Latin America, 441 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 11: knowing the strategic importance to the US, and basically concluded, 442 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 11: these people are incapable of governing themselves. We should take 443 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 11: all measures. This is this is, this will be a 444 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 11: problem for the US. We shouldn't worry about democratic niceties 445 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 11: that we would not accept in this country. And and 446 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 11: that was followed up until liberals got the idea that's, 447 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 11: oh no, they're just as good at self governance as 448 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 11: we are. Well, obviously they aren't. Over and over again 449 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 11: you get the same pattern. I mean Venezuela, for example, 450 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 11: which I've written about a few times it was the people, 451 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 11: i e. Peasants who keep voting for these communists who 452 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 11: promise to steal from the rich and give them all 453 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 11: their money, which they proceed to do, and then the 454 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 11: country is out of money. They can't get loyal out 455 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 11: of the ground. No, there has to be a paternalistic 456 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 11: relationship to between the United States and Latin America. And 457 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 11: it's weird that the media is acting as if we 458 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 11: have no idea what this means to install that will 459 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 11: be running things. No, no boots on the ground, no 460 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 11: nation building. We just have our own, our own US 461 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 11: backed ruler to save the people from themselves. 462 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, but who are we to comple ain't about their governing. 463 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: We just elected Kathy Hockel and Mom Donnie, so who 464 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: are we to talk? 465 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 11: Yes, well, New York should sit this one out. 466 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: And Mom Donnie just put this woman in charge of housing. 467 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: And apparently one time she said home ownership is white 468 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: supremacy and we must see a. 469 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 11: Private press read in the New York She owns a 470 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 11: one point seven million dollar home in Tennessee. So at 471 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 11: least there's no hypocrisy from the left. No, not ever, 472 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 11: But wow, that is this is This is not going 473 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 11: to be good for housing in New York. It probably, 474 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 11: As we've discussed before, these rent control measures just invariably 475 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 11: drive up the price of housing and limit the supply. 476 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 11: As you have landlords who were forced to just walk 477 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 11: away from their properties when the taxes and maintenance fees 478 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 11: are more than what they are allowed to charge in 479 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 11: rent by law. I mean, how long are they supposed 480 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 11: to keep losing money every month? They just walk away 481 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 11: and there goes there goes more housing. 482 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, don't you feel bad for the left wing, 483 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: the Democrats right now? These liberals, because remember they had 484 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: to all go out and buy Ukrainian flags. Then they 485 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: had to go buy Hamas flags. Then they had to 486 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: buy Mexican flags. Then they had to get Somali flags. 487 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: Now they got to go get Venezuelan flags. It's rough. 488 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 11: I prefer it to. I love when they have these 489 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 11: leftist protests and you know they'll have one sharp George 490 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 11: Soros type instructing them all go buy an American flag. 491 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, for Republican it's easy. Just buy one American flag 492 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: you except for life, That's all you need. 493 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 11: They probably have their American flags if they're Republicans. 494 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: And what about Tim Waltz. Is that the silliest guy 495 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: you've ever seen? Did you ever think it would be 496 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: over this fast for him? 497 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 11: Not totally surprised. Man, he was a boob from the 498 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 11: moment he showed up. Uh, it's it's it's a maybe. 499 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 11: It teams a bit annoying that. I mean, you did 500 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 11: almost become the vice president of the United States. All 501 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 11: of this was known when he was running. There were 502 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:28,719 Speaker 11: there were surprisingly enough liberal administrators of these government programs, 503 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 11: well you know, regular Minnesotans who were trying to be 504 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 11: whistleblowers and being retaliated against out of Minnesota. This was 505 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 11: a story there for the taking, I guess. I guess 506 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 11: you and I read about it and and and talked 507 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 11: about it a little bit. It was showing up on 508 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 11: Twitter and in conservative publications like Breitbart, not in the 509 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 11: detail we have now. But when was the mainstream media 510 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 11: going to get around to covering this about the possible 511 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 11: next vice president of the United States. 512 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: I think never was the date they had picked. But hey, 513 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: the other thing I'm watching every left wing fake news 514 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: they're all keep saying about Venezuela's a violation of international law. 515 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: Nobody can figure out where the hell is this international 516 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: law they're talking about? Where does that exist? 517 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 11: There is no law in the imaginations of small children 518 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 11: and liberals like Santa Claus on the Easter Bunny. There 519 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 11: is no such thing as international law, international laws. Whatever 520 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 11: the United States says international law is so yes, it 521 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 11: is hilarious when liberals go around wailing about the violations 522 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 11: of something that doesn't exist. 523 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 2: Yet. 524 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 11: Tell us what? 525 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: Tell us what? 526 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 11: Santa Claus says? 527 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 2: Next? 528 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, so what are we gonna do here in New 529 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: York with Mom Donnie? You know this is going to 530 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: get out of control. 531 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 11: I'm looking good so far. I mean, I mean there 532 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 11: was I had some I don't know, it's hope or 533 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 11: if it just seems kind of logical that he doesn't 534 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 11: seem like a like a half wit the way Tim 535 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 11: Waltz does, so I kind of. I mean, when he 536 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 11: decided to keep and announce before the election that he 537 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 11: was going to keep the police Commissioner Jessica Tish, I thought, okay, well, 538 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 11: he does at least know his entire mayoralty will go 539 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 11: to hell if he unleashes criminals on the citizenry. And 540 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 11: I thought maybe it would be a lot of left 541 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 11: wing talk, but he would maintain, you know, just to 542 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 11: satisfy his it's not particularly astute base, but then actually 543 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 11: do a decent job running the city. No, it does 544 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 11: not look like that at all, Mark Simone. He seems 545 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 11: to really believe he's going to put all these DEI 546 00:29:55,040 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 11: and left incompetence in important government positions and know that 547 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 11: it really does not bode well. 548 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: Well, but it's just the third term of Deblasio. All 549 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: these same people were in the Deblasio administration. It was bad, 550 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: but we got through it. So we'll get through this, 551 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: won't we. 552 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 11: Well, it is New York City, and New York City 553 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 11: it's a hard city to wreck. And all I can 554 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 11: say is that's what we thought for many years about 555 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 11: the most beautiful state in the Union, in California. But 556 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 11: you know, let Democrats put their minds to it, they 557 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 11: can wreck anything. 558 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: So you know, they always love this socialism and you 559 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: could point out it's never worked anywhere in the world 560 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: the last ten thousand times it failed, But don't they 561 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: also ever noticed it? Whenever they do these big programs, 562 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: billions of dollars go missing. Deblasio lost a billion dollars 563 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: in that fake program. We just saw eighteen billion go 564 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: missing in Minnesota. Don't they ever notice all the money 565 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: goes missing? 566 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 11: Hilariously, I was just looking. I was just on Twitter 567 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 11: before calling you in to my friend Mickey Cows and 568 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 11: tweeted out some thing about this Minnesota fraud, and his 569 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,479 Speaker 11: very left wing brother tweeted back at him, saying, you know, 570 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 11: this is the fault of conservatives that this program had 571 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 11: been I've been government run, we never would have had 572 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 11: this fraud. This is simultaneously with two hundred billion being 573 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 11: stolen from the COVID relief funds. 574 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: No, it's just it's just off. Hey year old buddy 575 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: George Conway is coming to New York. He didn't live here, 576 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: but he's running for Jerry Nadler's congressional seat. Do you 577 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: think he has any chance? 578 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 11: Well, it elected Jerry Nadler. I can't say I really 579 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 11: have my finger on the pulse of those voters. I 580 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 11: don't know. It's very very strange. George and I, weirdly enough, 581 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 11: were best friends for a long time. I introduced him 582 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 11: to his wife. There was no daylight between our positions. 583 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 11: And I don't know a lot of people. Trump just 584 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 11: just broken. 585 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. There are people that just I was 586 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: when Trump came along, they just went off the deep end. 587 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of them. 588 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 11: But straight, he's not the only one of my friends. 589 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 11: And it's one thing. I mean, you know, I have 590 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 11: my my complaints with Trump. There's a lot to complain 591 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 11: about there. But when you have people who have been 592 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 11: had certain a certain and like I said, George is 593 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 11: the only one a certain worldview, you know, anti crime 594 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 11: for example, anti public violence, anti communism, and just because 595 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 11: I don't know, they don't like Trump again, lots to 596 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 11: dislike there. They suddenly slip on every single position they've 597 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 11: ever held, believed, argued, written about. It's a very strange phenomenon. 598 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 11: And I've seen it, I'd say a handful of times. 599 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and Culter grew great talking to you.

I love their show. 606 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: It's every day noon to three and it's coming up 607 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: right after the news on seven to ten WR. There's 608 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: no such thing as international law. When they say Trump 609 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: is violated international law. So if you went to any 610 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: left wing kook and you tried to justify that comment, 611 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: all they can point to is, well, some countries have 612 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: treaties and agreements with each other, okay, but that's not 613 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: international law. And there is the United Nations a charter, 614 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: but they have no authority over anything. There's a couple 615 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: of international courts, but nobody recognizes and they have no 616 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: jurisdiction or authority over anything. There is no international law 617 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: to violate. Hey, we're out of time. I'll be back 618 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: to tomorrow.
