Then. Of course you got the great alliance 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: between China and Russia and Iran and the Saudis, and 10 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: now they're bringing Syria in.

The week that the Fed rays rates again, 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: and of course we're balling out millionaires and billionaires out 13 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: of Silicon Valley Bank.

Welcome all 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: of you to the program. Thanks for being Willison. All Right, 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: Mark Simone, I'm gonna start with you, because Mark Simone 21 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: is mister new York. Just so everybody knows if there's 22 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: an event in New York. The few that I've ever 23 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: been to, Mark is always there. Mark m sees more 24 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: events than any other person I know. Is it's amazing. 25 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: Mark will never leave New York. It doesn't matter how 26 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: much money they confiscate from him, He's still going to 27 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: stay in New York. You stand by that, right. I 28 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: spend hundreds of thousands a year just on coach checks cocks. 29 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: I believe that too. All right, So last weekend, if 30 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: you would have asked me, Hannity, what are the odds 31 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: that Alvin Bragg is gonna indice Donald Trump? I was 32 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: in the high nineties at that point. Then as the 33 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: week began to unfold, I dropped down. I think my 34 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: first drop was to seventy two, and dropping fast. Then 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: by maybe Wednesday or Thursday, well, I think Wednesday was 36 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: fifty fifty. You know, now I'm down to the ten 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: percent area. And if he doesn't, it's only out of pride, 38 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: not out of a belief that he could actually win 39 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: the case. What did you think of what was unfolding 40 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: all week? Because to me, it was fascinating. Well, this 41 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: guy is one of these left wing, woke George Soros 42 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: funded das that he never puts anybody in jail, He 43 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: just lets them all go. So I think the problem 44 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: is he has no experience actually prosecuting anybody. I used 45 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: to actually go into a courtroom with a case. So 46 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: now but noway he actually has a track record. He's 47 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: uh he is. He fails forty nine percent of the 48 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: time when he tries a felony case. Forty nine percent. 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: That's pretty bad. That's really bad. And listen, Michael Cohen, 50 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: nice guy in real life. Definitely fraid poor leone. Anybody 51 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: would put him on the witness cent has got to 52 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: be crazy and nobody could figure out this charge. Alan 53 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: Dershowitz said in It's fifty years in the legal business, 54 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: this is the single weakest case he's ever seen in 55 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: this like, it's got no shut bragg Is he's a persecutor, 56 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: not a prosecutor. And if you're a good Democrat, there 57 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: is such a thing out there. I don't know how 58 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: you sit still for this Stlemnist show trial. This is 59 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: not what you're saying, Okay, you say if you're a 60 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: good Democrat. Fair enough, that's a great statement. Now my 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: only point is where are where's one Democrat that has 62 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: spoken out saying this is stupid? Except for Van Jones 63 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: and Dershwoodz And that's it. That's about it. I mean, 64 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, the whole Democratic Party, they sit back and 65 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: watch it. And by the way, what goes around comes around, 66 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: mark my words. I don't think when Joe Biden leaves 67 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: office that his family should expect much different treatment. Anyway, Carol, 68 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: what's your take? Yeah, I mean, I feel like this 69 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: is something that wasn't really on my March Madness bracket, 70 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: but probably should have been. I kind of feel like 71 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: they're trying to make Trump a martyr here as a 72 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: way to lift his profile visa vi de Santist. You know, 73 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: they're letting him fundraise off of this um. You know, 74 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: they're they're kind of using this as a way to 75 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: kind of pit the two between each other. So I 76 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: wonder if there's you know, some other nefarious purpose in 77 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 1: creating more division and the Republican Party, given the fact 78 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: that they they don't really seem like they believe they 79 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: can win the case. What do you think, Joe Contra 80 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: I'll give you the media perspective. I just find it 81 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: utterly hilarious. Guys that MSNBC, CNN, all these other networks 82 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: not named Fox put Michael Cohen on the air as 83 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: if he's the next Michael Abanati because he is, and 84 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: pulled him up as a beacon of truth. This is 85 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: what the entire case is laying on right now, is 86 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen. Well wait a minute, Jay, you do know, 87 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: Joe Contra that Michael abanani was tweeting from jail on 88 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: this case. You are aware of that. Correct, of course 89 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: he is. He's a narcissist. I'm the guy he's This 90 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: is what he warned. He said. There are many critical 91 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: facts and pieces of evidence, texts, emails relating to the 92 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: hush money scandal that if yet to see the light 93 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: of the day, he said, and they will unfortunately be 94 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: very damaging to the prosecution of Trump stands trial. At 95 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: this point, he simply can't build a case on the 96 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: testimony of Cone and Daniels. Wow, okay, well, good for him. 97 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy was presidential material at one point 98 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: of seeing it. I think Humpty Dumpty was going to 99 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: be his campaign manager. Here's the two big things that 100 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: I think happened this week, Mark Simone One. I don't 101 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: know if you saw the interview I had with Bob Costello. 102 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: Now he went before the Grand Juram Monday. We interviewed 103 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: him the next day and or Tuesday, Wednesday, you know, 104 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: these days all run together. And what he said that 105 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: Michael Khne's a serial liar. And then he went into 106 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: great specificity in detail that Michael Khone was even suicidal. 107 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: And he asked Michael again and again and again do 108 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: you have anything on Trump? And he kept saying no, 109 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: I have nothing on Donald Trump, nothing whatsoever on Donald Trump. 110 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: And then went on a rant about how under no 111 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: circumstances ever will I go to jail, And he said 112 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: it was clear to him his interpretation that Michael saying, 113 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: I'll lie, cheat, Steele, do whatever I have to do 114 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: to get keep myself out of jail. And then Michael 115 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: Cohen's attorney's lawyer, his attorney wrote a letter from February 116 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: eighth of twenty eighteen that was his exculpatory for Trump 117 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: and the Trump organization and the Trump campaign is anything 118 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: I've ever seen? Well, listen, Michael Cohen, he's a goofy 119 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: sort of a guy. He looks like Fredo Corleone, as 120 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: anybody can see your interview with Castello. He's a very serious, 121 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: impressive guy, beautifully spoken guy, top lawyer. So the jury 122 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: obviously believed him. Not that letter, that exculpatory letter legally 123 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: had to be produced in the hand of the defense. 124 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: And if there's ever a real investigation, I don't expect one. 125 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: And they start going through all the communications emails of 126 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: Alvin Brack and they find out he had that letter 127 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: and didn't turn it over. He could be facing criminal 128 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: charges and I don't know why. Well I do know why, 129 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: but Michael Collins should be facing some perjury charges, but 130 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: it would be too embarrassing for Brack to bring those charges, 131 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: so it'll probably never happen. Yeah, Carol, what's your takets? 132 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: This is not the only legal issue that Donald Trump 133 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: is facing. You got Fulton County, Georgia, the phone call Rafsomburger, 134 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: you got a special counsel now looking into two issues 135 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: January sixth and the classified document issue at Maralago. Do 136 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: you see any of these cases going anywhere? I mean, 137 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: it seems to me, and obviously, Sean, I'm not a lawyer. 138 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: I don't even play one on TV or on the radio. 139 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: But it seems to me that none of these are 140 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: really going anywhere. But what they are is a really 141 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: good distraction from the thing that I do know about, 142 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: which is the financial situation of the country. So whether 143 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: it's record inflation or a banking crisis, or all of 144 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: these things that are going on that are really affecting 145 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: the lives of Americans. Distracting people, You're getting the left 146 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: to be distracted and to cheer on, oh maybe Trump's 147 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: going to go to jail. Completely moves their attention from 148 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: these very serious issues that could potentially change the financial 149 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: world order and the US's lead as the you know, 150 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: the global center of the world. It's a very easy 151 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: and convenient thing for them to continue with this distraction campaign. Yeah, 152 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: what do you think, Joe Concha, Do you think Donald 153 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: Trump has any legal serious legal issues in any of 154 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: these cases. I think Alvin Bragg did the other cases 155 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: no favors, right that if Alvin Bragg fails here or 156 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: doesn't bring an indictment, suddenly everybody's going to roll their 157 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: eyes if then he's indicted for something else, or just 158 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: look like they're picking and choosing something that'll stick, right. 159 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: But to Carol's point, this is a huge distraction from 160 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: what is a huge bombshell for Joe Biden that was 161 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: revealed this week by James Cohmer right, and he heard 162 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: about three members of the Biden family receiving more than 163 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: one million dollars in payments. And it's not like this 164 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: is like a typical Trump story, oh sources close to 165 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: the president or he said, she said, type of thing. 166 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: There are actual bank receipts showing Hunter Biden getting more 167 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: than a half a million dollars in one case, James Biden, 168 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: the President's brother, getting more than three hundred and sixty 169 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. And then Hallie Biden, who's a high school 170 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: guidance counselor in Delaware, she got tens of thousands of 171 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: dollars from a Chinese energy company. And oh, there's eighty 172 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: thousand that went to an unknown Biden. I wonder who 173 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: that could be. And no one is talking about this 174 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: on all the networks I mentioned, CNN, MSNBCCBSABC. They're only 175 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: talking about Trump. And there's a reason for that because 176 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: this is damaging to the president and he knows it. 177 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: And eventually when more bank receipts come and the Trump 178 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: story fades away. Maybe finally we'll see some in media 179 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: actually do their jobs and well bottom. But we won't 180 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: see it happen, of course, Sean, because that's how it's 181 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: been over the last six years. All Right, Our Friday 182 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: Roundup continues more with Joe Concha and Mark Simone and 183 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: Carol Roth on the other side than your calls in 184 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one, sean our number if 185 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program.

So everyone got all wigged out 188 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: because Donald Trump said protest, protest, protest. We will back 189 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: in time a Hannity montage. Media democrats downplaying the twenty 190 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: twenty riots. Uh, let me play it for you. Is 191 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: mostly protests. It is not it is not generally speaking unruly, 192 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: but fires have been started. There needs to be unrest 193 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: industries for as long as there's unrest in our lives, 194 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: and unfortunately there's way to go round. They're not going 195 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: to stop, and everyone be aware because they're not gonna stop. 196 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: It is gonna They're not gonna stop before election day 197 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: in November, and they're not going to stop after election day. 198 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: Show me where it says that protests are supposed to 199 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: be polite and peaceful. I don't know. We could have 200 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: a summer of love. We have been covering of these 201 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: various peaceful protests. Destroying property which can be replaced is 202 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: not violent. Our country was started because this is how 203 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: the Boston Tea Party rioting. So don't do not get 204 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: it twisted and think that, oh, this is something that 205 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: has not never happened before, and then this is so 206 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: terrible and where are we and these savages and all 207 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: of that. This is how this country was started. I 208 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: can't with folks that are saying we need to stop 209 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: this unrest, we need to stop violence, as though charging 210 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: person someone a thousand dollars a month for insulin that 211 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: they need to survive isn't violent. That's Pelosi, that's Kamala Harris, 212 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: that's AOC, that's Don Lemon, Carol Roth. Now, all of 213 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: a sudden, Donald Trump, you know, goes on truth social 214 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: and puts out the word protest And do you think 215 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: the world is falling apart? Yeah? You never want to 216 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 1: play any sort of game with somebody on the left, 217 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: because they like to change the rules depending on their 218 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: perception of whether they are winning or losing. That is 219 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: their ultimate playbook. There is no consistency. It's rooted in hypocrisy, 220 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: and whatever works for them at that particular time that 221 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: is the rule of the game, and then as soon 222 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: as it doesn't work, then they have shifted it and 223 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,599 Speaker 1: changed it. We've seen this time and again. Yeah, you 224 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: take your immediate genius, Joe Contra. All I know is 225 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: there is plenty of election deniers after the twenty sixteen elections, 226 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: starting with Hillary Clinton, the person who lost her Stacy 227 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: Abrams when she lost her elections, and they were put 228 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: on magazine covers and hailed as speaking truth to power. 229 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: And then of course after twenty twenty, all that changed. 230 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: And as far as those riots are concerned, I mean, 231 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: it looked like the ending scene in die Hard, a 232 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: knacka tony plaza with burnings just engulfed in flames behind 233 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: guys like Ali Velshi saying, oh, well, you know they're 234 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: fire starting, but this is mostly peaceful and just the 235 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: picture shows the lie in real time, and it will 236 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: never forget what happened during that summer of twenty twenty 237 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: media actually egging on riots with the likes of Don 238 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: Lemon saying that this is how this country was founded, 239 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,599 Speaker 1: utterly and totally reckless. And it's great to see that 240 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: CNN can't even draw four hundred thousand people to watch 241 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: their network. Now, think about four hundred thousand. That means 242 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: an average of eight thousand people per state are watching 243 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: that network. Sorry, I shouldn't laugh, Marxibone. I know you 244 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: love the media, your friends with all these media people. 245 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: I hear you hang out with these media people.

Don't believe 247 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: one word they say when they get on the other, 248 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: you know, the words death in destruction. Why would does 249 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: anybody say I heard Johnathan Carl say that's what our 250 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: test could cause. I heard Jake Tapper say it this week. 251 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: There's nothing Donald Trump has ever said that they haven't 252 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: said too, you know. And if you ask Trump, why 253 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: do you say these things about Alvin breg why would 254 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: you talk? And he says, it's a great point. You 255 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: gotta strip away their veneer of respectability. They don't deserve it. 256 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: You never thinks this is some great respective prosecutor.

Evil guy in the world. 258 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: This Alvin break and it's a great line strip away 259 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: their veneer of respectability. Unbelievable. Anyway, I hope you all 260 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: have a great weekend.

And I keep talking about 321 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: a new access of evil that is emerging right before 322 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: your very eyes, and nobody seems to be paying attention 323 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: to it. And that is Russia and China, China being 324 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: our number one geopolitical vote, Russia number two, along with Iran, 325 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: which every report seems to indicate they are very close 326 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: to having a nuclear arsenal. Then add Saudi Arabia has 327 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: now partnered with them, as has North Korea. So you've 328 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: got this new access of evil, all filling a void 329 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: left by Joe Biden, who's absolutely positively useless. And don't 330 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: think it was an accident that the Chinese by balloon, 331 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, flew over Alaskan airspace and down the West 332 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: coast to Canada into Idaho, all the way across the Montana, 333 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: flying over our silo ICBM missile sites down to Kansas 334 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: at Missouri, over to Kentucky out to the Carolinas. Then 335 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: we'll shoot it down because we don't want to shoot it. 336 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: We didn't want to shoot it down over land. Then 337 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: they fire and shoot down three other unidentified objects over 338 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: people over land, and yet we don't know what they were. 339 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: And they likely shot down one hundred dollars balloon from 340 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: a balloon club using a four hundred thousand dollars sidewinder missile. 341 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: Nothing happens, no consequences. And I know a lot of 342 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: being made over the fact that the United States responded 343 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: to the killing of one America in Syria. Okay, that's great. 344 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: Where's the response to China? Is what are the consequences 345 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: for China? And then, of course Vladimir Putin and his 346 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: you know, hostile regime taking down one of our you 347 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: know what, fourteen million dollar drones. What are the consequences 348 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: for Vladimir? Apparently nothing. All tests for Joe Biden, all 349 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: tests that he failed. Anyway, John Kirby, if you listen 350 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: to him, he thinks the putin Chief meeting was proof 351 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: of Biden's leadership. This is madness. And he thinks the 352 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: Iran deal is not our agenda. Listen to this, But 353 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: I think one thing you need to consider as you 354 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: consider this visit to Moscow by President is that it's 355 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: also a manifestation of how much China and Russia know 356 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: that American leadership on the world stage is back, and 357 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: how much they recognize that our network of alliances and 358 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: partnerships is stronger than any network they might have. These 359 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: are two countries with not a lot of friends, and 360 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: that those in that network is getting stronger and more 361 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,239 Speaker 1: influential around the world. Look at NATO, for instance, how 362 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,719 Speaker 1: much more relevant and viable NATO is now. It's going 363 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: to grow by another two nations. All that's a manifestation 364 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: of the leadership of this administration and the proof that 365 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: American leadership on the world stage is in fact increasing. 366 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: A great question, Jen right now, the ERANDIO is really 367 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: not on our agenda. We are much more focused on 368 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: trying to hold the regime accountable for the way they're 369 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: treating their people and for the way they're supporting Putin 370 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: in Ukraine, sending drones sexual innocent Ukrainians. And of course 371 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: we're also focused, as I said earlier, on the larger 372 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: state of destabilizing activities are on in the region, including 373 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: their support for these militant groups. Then you've got the 374 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: nora AD commander out there saying he doesn't know when 375 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: Biden was first made aware of the Chinese by balloon. 376 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: How about before it went over Alaska airspace? That would 377 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: have been the appropriate answer. You first learned about this 378 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: on January twenty eighth of this year, is that correct, Senator? 379 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: I learned about it on January twenty seventh. We first 380 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: detected it by radar, my censors on January twenty eighth 381 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: in the vicinity of Saint Matthew's Island, Alaska, Okay. And 382 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: that's the United States territory. Right, that's correct. And you 383 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: notified your chain of command on that day, January twenty eighth, Right. 384 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: I had a conversation on the evening of the twenty 385 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: seventh with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 386 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: about my plan to intercept and identify and make an assessment, 387 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: which we did on the twenty eighth of January. And 388 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: you sent that notification to Secretary Defense Austin, Chairman of 389 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Joe Milly, via classified email. Correct. 390 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: I sent it to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 391 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: of Staff and to Secretary Austin's military as I'm assuming 392 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: that the military assistant passed it to the Secretary, Okay, 393 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: and you still are not certain at what point President 394 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: Biden or Secretary Austin were made aware of the balloons 395 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: that right, I do not know when the cares it 396 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: was made aware. Anyway, joining us on the program. I 397 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: wanted to invite her on because she's written a terrific book. 398 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 1: It's it's called The Syndicate Spy, a Juliet Arrowway novel. 399 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: She spent nine years as a targeting officer within the 400 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: CIA's within the CIA and their counter Terrorism Center, both 401 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: at Langley and on assignments in the Middle East and abroad, 402 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: and she spearheaded operational efforts to achieve some of the 403 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: most sensitive foreign intelligence objectives abroad. And she has firsthand 404 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: knowledge of targeting methodologies used in the recruitment of spies 405 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: and extensive field experience and working with foreign liaisons to 406 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: discover and apprehend terrorists abroad. I'm not sure if you 407 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: saw the number today, but two hundred and sixty three 408 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: people on the Terrorists Watch thost we believe now are 409 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: in the US as of this year because of Joe Biden. 410 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: How are you welcome to the program, Brittany Butler, I'm good. 411 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for having me listen. This is 412 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: the real deal. If you really want to know what 413 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: it's like to be a female spy, then you need 414 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: to pick up the book The Syndicates by Like like 415 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: you said, Sean, I spent nine years at the CIA 416 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: hunting terrorists all over the Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan, you know, 417 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: you name it, and it's not like Hollywood portrays it. 418 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: We have to be the smartest person in the room. 419 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: I have three small sons and I received the best 420 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: training at the CIA, and they're never going to have 421 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: smart me. And I'm a firm believer that thrillers are 422 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: the best when the writer knows what the heck they're 423 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: talking about and characters and events. But it's based on 424 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,479 Speaker 1: what I experience. Let's talk about some of the tougher 425 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: things that you can talk about. I'm sure there's a 426 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: lot you can't talk about, and maybe we can put 427 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: it in a novel form, but based on true stories 428 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: that you went through as a CIA operative like this 429 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: and undercover. Yeah yeah, so m I. My last assignment 430 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: was in Pakistan Afghanistan Division at the Kinnar Terrorism Center 431 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: and there we were, you know, we were charged with 432 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: targeting the Taliban, we're charged of targeting al Qaeda, And 433 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, the withdrawal from Afghanistan had a tremendous impact 434 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: on me as a former CIA targeting officer, and I 435 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: think it had a huge impact on a lot of 436 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: us that served in that conflict. And watching to see 437 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: what happened with the Afghan people and Afghan women in 438 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: particular was really heartbreaking for me. I feel like, you know, 439 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: we had a duty to honor a lot of our 440 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: alliances when we withdrew from that country, and you know, 441 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: or we're going to find ourselves in the same position 442 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: we were in before nine to eleven. Again, this is 443 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: my own opinion having worked in this industry and having 444 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: had experience and upkat at san in Pakistan, But it 445 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: was really important to me that I showcase a really strong, 446 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: powerful Arab woman in my book The Syndicate Spy and 447 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: a female intelligence officer, how we really are. We're not 448 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: these sexual dominatrixes that Hollywood portrays us as, and there 449 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: are only meaning our only use to intelligence operations, it's 450 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: to wear fishnet stockings and a low cut blouse. We 451 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: actually use you know, the same tactics and methodologies as 452 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: our male counterparts to find and apprehend the Paris and 453 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: I really wanted to showcase both a powerful Arab woman 454 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: and a female intelligence officer because, to be honest, I 455 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: think we had a harder time in the Middle East 456 00:25:54,200 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: recruiting sources, debriefing detainees because these Arab men, a lot 457 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: of them wouldn't even look me in the eye, and 458 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: so I had to establish my authority right away when 459 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: I walked in that room, and it was it was hard. Dune, Well, 460 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: I appreciate your work for your country. I mean, it's admirable. 461 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: You can get the book, by the way, the Syndicate 462 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: Spy on Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com, and bookstores everywhere. 463 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: Brittany Butler, we appreciate you being with us and thanks 464 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: for all you've done. And I hope people will read 465 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: this book. They're going to learn a lot about what 466 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: the real spy world is all about. Absolutely, thanks so 467 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: much for having me on. It's been an honor. Eight 468 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: hundred ninety four one. Sean, if you want to be 469 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: a part of the program, John North, Carolina, Sean Hannity Show, 470 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: What's Up, Hey, Sean. I'm just a little concerned that 471 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: we're losing track of the big picture, especially when it 472 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: comes to the general consumer. The existing home sales data 473 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: was touted as being really really good the other day 474 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: when it was really really bad. If you take a 475 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: look at the numbers, they're like, oh, it's up fourteen 476 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: percent over January. Well, January was one of the worst. Oh, worries. Unread. 477 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: Prices are down now dramatically across the border around the country, 478 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: and new construction has come to a screeching hall. Sale 479 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: of pre existing homes are negligible in most states. There 480 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: are some states that are exceptions, like Texas, Florida, Tennessee. 481 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: I know you're in North Carolina. You're doing believe it 482 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: or not, you're doing better than a lot of other states. 483 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: It's a very tough market right now. The South are 484 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: doing well with not better than inflation right now, but 485 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 1: they're doing well with the average sales price. Existing prices 486 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: are at an eleven year low. Well, they're up five 487 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: percent in the Midwest, and they're up two point seven 488 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: in the South, but they're down four point five percent 489 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: in the Northeast and five point six in the West. 490 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: So it's a tale of different sides of the market. 491 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 1: I read the sweet home sales down eleven or home 492 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: values down eleven percent, and then sales down dramatically. Sales 493 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: were down twenty four percent compared to last year February. Yeah, 494 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: and the thing that's really scary is that we have 495 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: fewer than a million homes on the market across the country. 496 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: Normally that number is north of two to two point 497 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: two million at this time of the year, but we've 498 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: been in a inventory recession since twenty But John, let 499 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: me ask you a question. If you have a three 500 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: percent thirty year fixed rate mortgage, why would you give 501 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: that up and start paying a seven to seven and 502 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: a half percent thirty year fixed rate mortgage? Because it 503 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: adds thousands of dollars to your monthly payment. Why would 504 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: you ever give it up? Well, because people are moving 505 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: from New York to only if they have to. Yeah, 506 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: but Flow, I can tell you Florida's real estate market. 507 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: It's taken a slight hit compared It's not as hot 508 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: as it was, But they have nearly a thousand people 509 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: moving into the state of Florida every day. The most 510 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: reasons that people move, the reason why most people move, 511 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: I should say, is marriage or divorce, death of a 512 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: loved one, our job transfer. And I'll tell you why 513 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: other people are moving to get away from high taxes, 514 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: burdensome regulation, you know, draconian lockdowns. They want warmer weather 515 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: and they want a better way of life. And that's 516 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: why states like Florida, Texas, the Carolinas, Tennessee are doing 517 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: so much better than the rest of the country. I 518 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: think it's just important that people dig into these reports 519 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: and not just buy the headlines because we are in 520 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: an area where we're going to see probably a million 521 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: fewer homes sold this year than last year, and that 522 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: has a ripple effect as effect with retail sales, furniture sales, everything, electronics, 523 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: and those are some of the things that are going 524 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: to get hit hard and hit past. And the same 525 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: thing is true last year we had a thirteen months 526 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: supply of new homes. Well, that's never good because that 527 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: means that those things are gonna sit, they're gonna sell 528 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: for less. And it's just when the recession started in 529 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, it was 530 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: actually a housing recession that started in two thousand and six, 531 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: right peak peak units in two thousand and five, peak 532 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: sales price in two thousand and six.
