WEBVTT - Shutdown's Real Impact 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.040 All right, news round up in Information over Load Hour. 0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:04.240 Here's a toll free telephone number. It's eight hundred and 0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:06.320 nine four one sean if you want to be a 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.360 part of the program. So, really the countries on pins 0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:12.800 and needles. You know, we have forty two million Americans 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:17.640 dependent on government benefits for snap that are, you know, 0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:22.080 now desperate. It's probably time if you have time, and 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.160 you have a local food bank, maybe to help them 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.120 out if you can afford it. I'm not asking people 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:29.200 to do something that they can't afford to do. I 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.320 remember it was a big deal to me during COVID, 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:33.520 and I'm going to get in touch with my local 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.600 food bank today and see if I can't help them out. 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.520 But it looks like if Democrats don't get that aggressive, 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:43.760 and I think a lot of Democrats want to go home, 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.840 that there probably is just enough boats to actually get 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:53.880 the government open again. And we'll watch this very very closely, 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.320 Dick Derbin, I want you to hear the comments that 0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:58.160 he made about this. 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.160 The fate of this effort depends on both the Senate 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:05.200 and the House of Representatives. After a seven week absence, 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.240 the Speaker Johnson needs to call his members back and 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.959 join us in the hard work that lies ahead. Many 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.480 of my friends are unhappy. They think we should have 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.520 kept our government closed indefinitely to protest the policies of 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:24.040 the Trump administration. I share their opinions of this administration, 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:28.479 but cannot accept a strategy which wages political battle at 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.480 the expense of my neighbor's paycheck or the food for 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:32.120 his children. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:39.080 Okay, and John Fetterman, Senator Angus King, and you know, 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.959 we just have just barely enough Democrats, and I think 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.600 the House vote is going to be like a one 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:45.400 vote margin. 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:46.720 Anyway. 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.880 Here to break down where we are in all of this, 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.320 Carol Roth, two time New York Times bestselling author You 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:57.120 Will Own Nothing and recovering investment banker. Also Mark some 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.600 own host of the number one morning show on our 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:04.400 affiliate it in New York AM seven ten wo R 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.680 like Curtis Leewa. He is, you know, born and raised 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.800 in New York, born and bred, and when he dies, 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.520 there'll be New York dead. And he ain't ever given 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.639 up on New York City? Am I wrong about that? 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:17.400 Mark Simone? 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.240 Well, Actually I was born in the Midwest. I'm from Michigan, 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.639 but I always wanted to come to New York. It 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.240 was like the ultimate place to be. 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.399 You're never leaving, are you? 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:28.600 And you'll you want. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.720 To go back on your prediction after I left two 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.079 years ago when you said I'll be back. You think 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:35.520 I'm really ever coming back. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:37.840 One day you'll all be back here. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.000 No, well, no, no, there won't be that day. You're 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.840 you're getting worse by the hour. But look, this shutdown 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.800 continues and it's a disaster. Let me let me play 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.480 for both of you before we really get into Let 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.000 me play the Southwest Airline pilot. Listen to this. This 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.000 is how desperate things are. I mean, things are so 0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:00.840 bad in the skies because we can't It's been fifteen 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.440 times Democrats have rejected a continuing resolution that which they 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:09.000 themselves have advocated for regularly throughout the decades. 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:09.640 And now all of a. 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.600 Sudden, the Schumer's shut down for the first time in 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.240 his career. No, he's gonna hold the line and they're 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.600 going to use the American people as leverage. How do 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.240 we know because they keep saying it. 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:19.760 Listen, I don't. 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.000 Really care what your let im come persuading is. And 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.520 you should really call your senator because I'll tell you 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.360 this is costing the airlines millions of dollars and just 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.680 take up thirty airplanes with one engine running, it's going 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.240 to take us at least ninety minutes to take off. 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.520 So it's frustrating. It's really frustrating for me because right 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.680 now it's going to cost about two hours of our 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.080 lives on the ground before we even take off, spend 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.440 all that gas, all that money, and it just rolls 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:49.320 into the rest. 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:49.760 Of the system. 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.320 So right now we're at a four. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.840 Percent reduction in light capacity. Next week we go to 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.760 ten website. I had a six hour delay in Houston. 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.360 And the weather was perfect. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.960 It's because they're traffic controllers market paid. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:10.280 So wee today alone five thou three hundred delays and 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:16.600 eighteen hundred cancelations alone so far today. Carol, your thoughts 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.560 on you know, what is the Democratic strategy been here? 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:20.680 What's the point. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:20.920 Of all this? 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:26.479 I mean, they are basically holding Americans hostage for no reason, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.799 and for people who you know, keep saying how concerned 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:34.200 they are about getting air traffic controllers paid and making 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.520 sure that Americans have access to snap benefits and don't starve. 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.440 They don't seem to be willing to do anything about it. 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.919 So it's a bit frustrating that an original spot that 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.640 you've played from Dick Durbin is the biggest ad I've 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.320 ever heard for term limits because Dick Durbin, who is 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.640 my senator here in Illinois, has announced that he is 0:04:55.800 --> 0:05:01.120 not running for reelection. So if he was running for reelection, 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.520 I can guarantee you Sean, based on his voting history, 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.719 that he would not have made the right decision. But 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.240 because he does not have to worry about being reelected, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.360 he is able to do what's right, and that tells 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.960 you everything that is wrong with our system today. 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.719 I think that's well stated. Let's get your take, my 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:22.960 friend Mark Simon. 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:28.360 Well, shutdowns accomplished nothing. Neither party, nobody's ever achieved anything 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.400 with a shutdown. You shutdown caucuses zero for fourteen. This 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.560 will get settled at you know, ten hour air traffic 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.760 delay is ridiculous. We get down to the usual three 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.440 hour delay that we have at most airports, and we 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:47.159 still got to settle this whole Obamacare crisis. And the 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.000 media has never asked the real question, which is if 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.560 it's called the Affordable Care Act, if it's affordable, why 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.920 would you need subsidies to pay for it. That's got 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:56.600 to be fixed. 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.239 I think that's a great line. I'm going to steal 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.760 that and not give you attribution if you don't mind. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.080 I think that's really well. Said Liberal Joe this morning, 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.359 urging Democrats to take the win on the shutdown. Diolo, 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:16.120 what's the win? American people have suffered needlessly? Democrats proved nothing. Okay, 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.039 they'll get their vote. And you make the great point, 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:23.719 which is, Okay, the Affordable Care Act isn't affordable. Otherwise 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.080 you wouldn't need subsidies, which, by the way, Democrats voted 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.080 to be temporary. 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:28.520 Listen. 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.440 So all this fear and loathing and all this whining, 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:35.120 I wish Democrats for once, just once could take a 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:39.040 win and then understand the Republicans they were never going 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:40.760 to help working Americans. 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.920 They learned that through this process. So you know who 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:45.760 else learned that through this process? 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.320 The American voter. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:53.760 Donald Trump was exposed and the administration was exposed, and 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:58.200 Republicans were exposed as the party that fought like hell 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:04.159 to give tax cuts to billionaires, to multinational corporations, to 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.600 the richest of the rich. And we learned just last week, 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:10.480 they were trying to extend those tax cuts to even 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:14.240 more billionaires to give them even bigger tax sets. At 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.800 the same time, they were fighting like hell to stop 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:24.040 working Americans from getting basic food assistants and just a 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:28.840 helping hand, just a little helping hand with their healthcare costs. 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.400 Just a little helping hand, you know, okay, even for 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:36.040 people eight hundred percent above the poverty line. Carol Roth 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.520 again Mark said it perfectly. The Affordable Care Act need subsidies. 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:45.800 Yeah, it's unbelievable. The Democrats like to engage in their 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.760 favorite hobby shown, which is gaslighting. That's all they do. 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.400 They go in on TV, they go in the radio, 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.840 and they gaslight. But you know what's happening is that 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.880 the American people are not buying that. If you look 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.160 at the polls and you look at you know who 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.000 is to blame for the shutdown. It's very transparent, and 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.480 the American people know that it's the Democrats who have 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.920 been responsible for this, and Main Street has been the 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.560 one who's been helped over and over again. However, the 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.080 Affordable Care Act is one of the things that is 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.160 creating the unaffordability in their life, and they were the 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.600 ones that told us that, oh it's going to be affordable, 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.360 you could keep your doctor, all these wonderful things, and 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.640 I don't know any of them coming up with any solutions. 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:34.480 So we need to actually solve this issue, and just 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.000 kicking the can down the road like they like to 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.280 do and them gaslighting us about it is not going 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:39.920 to achieve that. 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.480 Well, I mean, what do they stand for now? I mean, 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.640 here's the interesting thing to me, And let me play 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.680 for you. Mark Simone, you're soon to be new mayors 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.760 Zoron Marxis Kami Mamdani. 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.600 I know you voted for him, right right. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:56.920 We're lucky he was available. 0:08:58.240 --> 0:08:59.800 We're lucky he was available. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:05.440 He made this comment, which is really really government will 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:10.240 confiscate privately owned buildings if landlords don't pay fines or 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.200 make assessed repairs that he determines they must make. 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:14.600 Listen. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.440 That's why I'm announcing a plan to overhaul the Mayor's 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:21.160 office to protect tenants, bringing code enforcement under one roof 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.400 and making sure that agencies are working together to hold 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.480 bad landlords accountable. Starting on day one, we will expand 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:32.000 the city's special enforcement programs, doubling fines for HAZARDUS violations 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.440 and tripling them for conditions that are immediately dangerous. And 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.760 when a really bad landlord like this guy refuses to 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.320 fix it, the city's going to step in, make the 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.200 repairs and send them the built. If that doesn't work, 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.839 the city's taking over the building. We're putting the worst 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.880 landlords out of business, and we're going to transform three 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.040 on one by bringing the latest in cutting edge technology, 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:59.040 scheduling appointments with inspectors so you actually know when they're 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.520 showing up to your market. And the best part, you're 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.160 gonna pay for this. But actually, bad landlords are going 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.400 to pay for this. We're going to fund this expanded 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:11.160 enforcement in the most obvious way by actually collecting the 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.040 fines and enforcing the violations. 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.520 Wow, let's just confiscate your house mark, simone. I think 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.880 you know it should be given a homeless people. 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.040 Well, if you take all the buildings that have the 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.600 worst problems, the worst conditions, that are most need to repair, 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.600 you'll find it's the city housing project. So they're going 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.760 to be seizing their own buildings. So good luck with that. 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.000 He's just going to spend his whole life in court. 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:39.680 You know, he can't seize anything all this stuff free buses. 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.120 He has no control over the price of buses. He 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:46.240 has no control over taxes, maybe property text, but he's 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.160 just going to spend his whole life in court fighting this. 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.839 We went through eight years of build of Blasio. He 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.640 was our last socialist mayor. We got through that. It 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.719 wasn't easy, but we got through it, and we'll get 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:56.320 through this guy. 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.600 You're so optimistic. Good luck with that, you know, sending 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.320 in the soul to workers. So there's going to be 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.120 a conflict. And let me ask you. Do you avoid 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:04.760 the subways? 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:05.120 No? 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.000 I take them now and then I mean they're pretty good. 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.360 Well, whoa now? And then? What does that mean? 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.360 Like, if it's an emergency and you can't get an 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.920 uber or a cab, well, it's New York. 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.000 You can walk most every place, and if it's way 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.559 downtown you don't want to sit in traffic, you take 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:20.160 the subway. 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.280 But you do it only in case of an emergency. 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.319 Mark marks them all. And that's what I'm hearing out 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:26.520 of you. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:28.959 Well, I'm not cure to see you. I don't take 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.079 it at four in the morning on the. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:35.800 That's a good point. And you do know what do 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.680 you think about sending in the social workers. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:38.520 You like that idea. 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.760 I was talking to our greatest police Commissioner, Ray Kelly, 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.640 Commissioner about twenty years. He said, the NYPD has tried 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:49.160 that program twelve different times over thirty years. It never works. 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.760 Nobody hates it more than the social workers because the 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.920 half of them get injured, killed. It's been tried, it 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:55.720 doesn't work. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:57.560 It's not going to work. 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.280 Quick break more with Mark Simon, Carol Roth, and then 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.319 your call's coming up on the other side, eight hundred 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.920 and ninety four one Sean. As we continue this Monday, 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.320 I would continue with Carol Roth and Mark Simone. Carol, 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.120 there is a part of me that feels bad for 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.640 people like Curtis and Mark and some of my colleagues 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.520 that work out of New York City. I've been blessed 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.280 to have been able to get out of there, and you know, 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.000 some people you know, chastise me, Well, why'd you give up? 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.080 I'm like, because there's no more hope. And the same 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.079 with Chicago, same with Illinois. I'm not sure why you 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:29.760 stay there. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.400 Yeah, no, we please pay the stupid family tax because 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.680 our family wants to be here, and that's what's drawn 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.960 us to the center. But I can tell you, having 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.840 lived through Lorie Lightfoot and barely survived the Brandon Johnson regime, 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.559 it's very, very challenging. This idea that you're going to 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.520 get all this free stuff and that you're going to 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.720 live in La La land. You know, you might as 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.120 well count on getting a unicorn because it's not going 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.200 to happen. And it makes the city less safe. People 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.320 want to spend less time here. It makes everything more expensive. 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.160 And the biggest issue, going back to where you started with, 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:10.400 you know, seizing private property, is that businesses don't want 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.400 to make investments. And this is what they don't understand. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.400 There's a shrinking tax base. You don't get the businesses 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.040 making investments. If you don't get that, you don't get 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.520 the employment, and you don't get the money that then 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.200 gets spread around the economy. And you know, I just 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.160 kind of I imagine there's going to be a big wake 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.240 up call, Sean. It was funny at the Zor and 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:34.080 Mom Donnie victory party. One of his supporters was lamenting 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.000 that there was a cash bar and it costs thirteen 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:38.280 dollars for a bud. 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:39.840 Lfe, thirteen bucks for a beer. 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.040 Yeah, and so imagine what they're going to think when 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.000 they find out how much all the other free stuff 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.640 is going to cost them thirteen bucks? 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.880 Were you at that party, Mark Simone? You usually MC 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:51.080 every party in New York? 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:56.360 Yeah, I was a little I'm busy that night. Listen, 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.880 he's already done some good for New York. He got 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.280 rid of Andrew Cuomo. I think, once and for all, 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.200 we'll never have to see that guy again. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.000 So he say he's talking about moving to Florida. 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.600 Oh good, good, Let him be your problem, let him 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:09.679 run for stuff down there. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.599 I don't think he's running for anything anymore. And I 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.400 don't think you can win anything in the Free State 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:19.240 of Florida. Not going to happen? Is I just let 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.040 me ask you. Do you worry that there is an 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:29.280 appeal that is growing in the country now that Aoc Mamdani, 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:34.000 the Squad, Bernie Sanders, Pocahontas have taken over the party, 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:35.040 that this is going to grow. 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.280 Yeah, it'll grow for a while. George will if you 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.440 have pardoner the expression actually said the other day, we 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.040 got to go through this every twenty five years because 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.880 younger people don't know how bad socialism they got to 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.200 see it with their own eyes. The Democrats have been 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.200 through this before. They go way too far the left, 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.720 and then somebody of Bill Clinton, somebody rises up and 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.400 leads them back to the center. So we haven't seen 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.760 that person yet, but they'll show up in another year 0:14:58.840 --> 0:14:59.920 and lead them back to the cent. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.640 All right, Mark, Simoon krol Raw, thank you both.

You know, I've 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.080 told you for years you're a closet rock star, and 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:28.920 that's fine. 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:30.640 Okay, but you let a finger on this show. You 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.160 are you let that flag fly, and I'm proud of you. 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.360 Good for you. Let's play that'll be fun. 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:36.200 Let's play that part. 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.720 But because I can't sing to save my life. So 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:43.920 we're going to put the words on the screen here, 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:52.480 so Stan, if you don't mind, please Stan.
