I think everyone's a little shocked. I 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: wake up this morning find out Prince Andrew has been arrested. 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: But you know it's interesting. I mean, I'm sure you 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 2: know it's not because he may have had sexual relations 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 2: with underage girls. It's really because he may have passed 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 2: secrets to Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, I think, you know, 17 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: I think the underlying story, what we're gonna hear more 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: and more maybe him out from the Jeffrey Epstein revelations 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: is that the guy was a master blackmailer and he 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: you know, got people like Prince Andrew and who knows 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: who else into compromising situations and then took advantage of that. 22 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: You know that we've not really ever heard the explanation 23 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: for Leon Black paying him tens of millions of dollars. 24 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: I'm sure there are other people who are going to 25 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: be implicated in the same way. But what a horrible 26 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 2: thing for the Royal family. I mean, I must say, 27 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,639 Speaker 2: you know, they've had their share of pretty tough hits 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: in the last couple of years, with Kate Middleton having 29 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: cancer and Charles having cancer, and now this is supreme embarrassment. 30 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: You know, I have to say, my heart goes out 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: to the family. 32 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: I got to disagree a little let Royal family. They 33 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: got more nonsense going on through these remember Fergie and 34 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: all that stuff, and well that was Prince Andrew's their wife, 35 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: but it was there's always some embarrassing stuff with that family, 36 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: not as bad as this, but. 37 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: No, this is this is pretty terrible. And you know, 38 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: I think what's sort of tragic is that, you know, 39 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: Queen Elizabeth to me was a really outstanding, steady, tough person, 40 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: no question, but you have to be pretty tough in 41 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 2: her in her life, I think, and you know it's 42 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 2: for next generation problems, right I mean, I think Charles 43 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: is sort of a fool, uh and not a very 44 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: well respected person. So then you go to the next 45 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: generation and they've just had you know, I mean, to 46 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 2: have Kate get Ill and all of that. It's just 47 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: I think it's been a pretty tough couple of years. 48 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: But anyway, this is a whole new chapter and pretty 49 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: disgraceful obviously. 50 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. I also I never thought I still don't buy 51 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: that Epstein was such a blackmailer. He had a way 52 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: of just luring these guys in with all kinds of 53 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't just the women. If you I've 54 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: been reading the file so carefully. He dangles celebrities in 55 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: front of them up dinners with Woody Allen and this 56 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: person and that person, and you know, you know, those 57 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: guys are as starstruck as anybody in fall for that 58 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: master manipulator. 59 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: On the other hand, if you're Prince Andrew and you 60 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 2: have that there are pictures of you with these underage girls, 61 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: pretty much you'll do anything he wants you to. 62 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, So hey, State of the Union addresses coming up Tuesday. 63 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: As I said before, it's always an opportunity for Democrats 64 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: to totally embarrass themselves. And yeah, now they're talking about 65 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: having their own State of the Union somewhere else. Isn't 66 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: that going to backfire on them? Well? 67 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: What I almost tweeted about this and then I couldn't 68 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: really figure out how to, you know, make it interesting. 69 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: But they're calling their performance and honestly, when did Democrats 70 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: become the performance party? But that's kind of what they've 71 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: evolved into. They have no policies they want to talk about. 72 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: All they do is hate Trump and then sort of 73 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: showcase that hatred with endless filibuster speeches, etc. And that course, 74 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: here's the newest one, which is a State of the 75 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: Union for the people. Okay, Well, their biggest complaint about 76 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is as a populist. What does that mean? 77 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: Mark? 78 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: That means he's of the people. Right, So, when you 79 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: have a president elected by a majority of voters, this 80 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 2: is no longer a fringe candidate. This is no longer 81 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 2: someone who doesn't represent the will of the people. He 82 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: clearly does. And so I think for that, you know, look, 83 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: I think the Republicans have lost some important contests recently, 84 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: some elections have gone the wrong way. Obviously, the country 85 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: in the midterms, as usual is ready to sort of 86 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: voice some discontent with what's going on. But the reality 87 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: is this guy, Donald Trump is getting stuff done. He 88 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: is fixing what's broken in the government. A lot of 89 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: people are applauding that. So I think just resting your 90 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 2: case on how vile the president is is pretty weak gruel, 91 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: and I just cannot imagine that in the midterms people 92 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: are going to turn out. Now, the risk to the 93 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: GOP is that Trump voters just are not reliable voters. 94 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: But then a lot of the Democratic coalition isn't reliable either. 95 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: Young people don't always vote in the midterms, and minorities 96 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: don't always vote in the midterms. So we'll see what happens. 97 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: But the more that they embarrass themselves by acting out 98 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: by the way, Hakim Jeffries, the Minority leader, has asked 99 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 2: Democrats not to do this because I think he's aware 100 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: that it just embarrasses them. 101 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, the President's done a great job foreign policy economies, 102 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: but Democrats create this fake narrative, this affordability crisis. So 103 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: isn't this a big opportunity for him to just the 104 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: hole public will be watching and he can lay out 105 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: the actual facts on inflation wages. So won't that change everything? 106 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if it'll change everything, because of 107 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 2: course you'll have commentators immediately fact checking everything he says. 108 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: But if he sticks to the facts, mark, yes, if 109 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: he claims growth, we're you know, if he claims we're 110 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: striving for fifteen percent growth, no. 111 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: That's not going to work. 112 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 2: But we don't need to make up exaggerated numbers. We 113 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 2: don't need to talk about stuff that's not real, because 114 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: the story right now is extremely persuasive. And I must say, 115 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 2: the Fed minutes are just really sort of make my 116 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 2: head hurt. Because Bloomberg did a piece this morning on 117 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 2: the FED notes that were made public yesterday. I was like, well, 118 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: they may have to raise rates because of inflation, you know, 119 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 2: not being where they wanted to be. Inflation numbers just 120 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: recently were extremely good, very beneficial, two point four percent. 121 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: It is coming down a lot of people think that 122 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: actual inflation right now is closer to one percent. If 123 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: you stop measure during rent and household expenditures in a 124 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: sort of mixed up way. It's the numbers on inflation 125 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: are actually pretty good. Are they good enough? Maybe not, 126 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: but you're not you're certainly not about to embark on 127 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 2: a rate hiking cycle. But I mean, it's such a 128 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: typical Bloomberg or MSNBC or whatever description. Just make it 129 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: sound as bad as it possibly can be. So to 130 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: your point, Donald Trump has an opportunity on Tuesday night 131 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 2: to talk to the American people about what's happening in 132 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: our economy. We have an investment boom, Housing starts are up. 133 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: Affordability on housing, by the way, is getting better because 134 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: mortgage rates have come down. I mean, there is a 135 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: whole slew of positive developments that have come out, just 136 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 2: even in the last few weeks. And here's another thing. 137 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: I talked about this on Area yesterday a couple of 138 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: times aoc an inner terrible appearance in Munich, and then 139 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: the explanation afterwards talks about the central thing that Democrats 140 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: want to impress upon the American people, the fact that 141 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: income inequality is so terrible and the richer getting richer, 142 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: and blah blah blah. It is not true. The Economist, 143 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: a very left wing magazine, devoted an entire cover story 144 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: this week to the fact that actually, because of progressive 145 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: taxes such as we have here in the United States, 146 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 2: income inequality has been going down not only in the 147 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: US but also in Europe. So their whole narrative is wrong. 148 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: It's wrong. They're wrong on marijuana, they're wrong on gender surgeries, 149 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 2: and they're wrong on economic inequality. And you know they'll 150 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: never admit it, but the truth is they're wrong. And 151 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: so you know, I think that bleeds into reasonable and 152 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: wise critiques of people like Mamdani who's trying to force 153 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 2: all this tax hikes and stuff down the ridge because 154 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: of income inequality, wealth inequality and stuff, and people rightly 155 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: are putting back, pushing back and saying, hey, you're going 156 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: to kill your own city. So it's stupid, but b 157 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: your narrative is just false. 158 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Liz Peak brilliant as always.
