1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: This is the Clay and Buck Show. 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 2: While Clay Travis and Buck Sexton are out, New York 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 2: City's own Mark Simone is in. 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 3: Hey, welcome back, Mark Simone here for Buck and Clay. 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 3: Normally I'm on our big flagship station in New York 6 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 3: seven to ten WR, or you can hear me on 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 3: iHeart on the iHeart app So lots to talk about 8 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 3: this hour twenty four days, twenty four days till Donald 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 3: Trump takes over, till the national nightmare is over. It's 10 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 3: twenty four days away. Now a lot can happen in 11 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 3: twenty four days. And you're talking about a dirty, sleazy 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 3: Joe Biden. If you thought those were bad pardons, wait 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 3: till the final week. He's been signing, furiously, signing all 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 3: kinds of laws into effect. He's been ramping up the 15 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,319 Speaker 3: delivery of arms to Ukraine, its defense contracts. Democrats love 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 3: to hand those out. Now, Republicans too. But everybody's worried 17 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 3: about the final week or two because whatever the dirtiest 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 3: stuff you're going to do is, that's when you do it. Hey, 19 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 3: it's the end of the year. You look back at 20 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, It's been an amazing year. If you 21 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 3: go back to January and February, the talk was that 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 3: Donald Trump had no chance. That should be Ron DeSantis, 23 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 3: it should be dirty Nicky Haley, it should be we 24 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 3: had a couple of other choices, but Trump was thought 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 3: to be way in the past. That's it. We can't 26 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 3: let him be the candidate again. And I'll take credit 27 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 3: among others. I was the one saying he is the 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 3: king of comebacks. He wrote a book once called The 29 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 3: Art of the Comeback. He knows how to make the 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: biggest comeback in the world. And he just made the 31 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 3: biggest comeback in political history to not only take the nomination, 32 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: first Republican to win the popular vote and win all 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: the swing states. It was an incredible, incredible victory. But 34 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 3: looking back on the twenty twenty four the biggest moments 35 00:01:53,640 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 3: of the year obviously Butler Pennsylvania. It's still the most unbelieveable, 36 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: astonishing thing in the world. They have these slides that 37 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 3: Trump uses and he points to these charts and graphs 38 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: and the one about illegal immigration they use at the end. 39 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 3: It's always at the end of the speech. Somehow, for 40 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 3: some reason, the graphics person put it up early, way 41 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 3: too early. But Trump turned to look at it at 42 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: just the second the bullet was coming. It would have 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: hit him right in the head, right in the middle 44 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: of the head. But he turned to look at that 45 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 3: chart that just went up and as a result, it 46 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: just clipped his ear, just the top of his ear. 47 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 3: He says now that that chart saved his life, and 48 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 3: that he loves that chart. He had it framed. It's 49 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: in his office in a frame. He loves that chart. 50 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 3: But it was the most amazing moment of twenty twenty 51 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: four that shot right in the middle of his head, 52 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 3: just in a miracle, in a split second, just happened 53 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 3: to turn his head and the bullet miss took off 54 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 3: the top of his ear. Now, how many people could 55 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 3: go through what he went through. A bullet grazes your head, 56 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 3: takes off part of your ear, and then about four big, 57 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 3: huge guys that are like linebackers just throw you to 58 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 3: the ground and jump on you as if you're getting 59 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 3: tackled in the middle of a football game. How many 60 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: seventy eight year olds could have that bullet hit their ear. 61 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: Those guys tackle them and then pop up and just 62 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 3: pump their fist a few times. It was the most 63 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 3: incredible moment ever in the history of any campaign. Unbelievable. 64 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 3: That picture him pumping his fist became the most iconic 65 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: picture of the year. Then the other big moments, obviously 66 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 3: that debate with Joe Biden. I don't know. I mean 67 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 3: you look back on it now. Obviously was ever running 68 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: things decided time to push Biden out. They let him 69 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: do that debate. They knew he was a vegetable, they 70 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: knew it was a disaster coming. Biden has even said 71 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 3: single biggest regret doing that debate. He Biden himself makes 72 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 3: up a whole fake explanation of that he had a 73 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: cold and he should have delayed the debate and postponed. 74 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 3: There's no cold known demand where suddenly you don't know 75 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: your name or where you are. But that was one 76 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 3: of the great moments. Obviously, Election night was amazing. What 77 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: else I mean? There were the Madison Square Garden rally. 78 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 3: The crazy Democrats tried to call it out Nazi rally 79 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: because somewhere ninety seven years ago there was a Nazi 80 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 3: rally in Madison Square Garden. There's been a Nazi rally 81 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 3: in a lot of plays. The Yankee Stadium once had 82 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 3: a Nazi rally. I mean, it was ridiculous that argument 83 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: that it was a Nazi rally. Hillary Clinton has had rallies. 84 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 3: The Democrats held their convention twice in Madison Square Garden. 85 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: There's nothing Nazi like about Madison Square Garden. So twenty 86 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 3: four days from now, Donald Trump takes over. Hey, here's 87 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: a word you haven't heard in a week. Drones. This 88 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 3: is all you heard about all day, all day. Drones 89 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: is all everybody was talking about drones. What's today? It's Friday, right, 90 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: the whole week. I haven't heard about drones, nothing, nothing. 91 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: Everybody forgot about it. Nobody's showing pictures. You go on online. 92 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: Here's it used to be Instagram. Everybody had videos of drones, 93 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: pictures of drones. I haven't seen it at all. 94 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: Uh. 95 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 3: Hey, the phone number is eight hundred two eight two 96 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 3: two eight eight two eight hundred two eight two two 97 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 3: eight eight two. Hey, we were talking about crazy California. 98 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 3: One county. Orange County wants to crack down on shoplifting finally, 99 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 3: but they're still just as crazy in California, especially when 100 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 3: you get to San Francisco. So here's a big, very 101 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 3: popular California restaurant it's about the clothes. The reason it's closing. 102 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 4: Uh. 103 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 3: They were destroyed financially by lawsuits. They were sued and 104 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 3: sued and sued in Woke, California because they had Ladies' Night. 105 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: Every Thursday was ladies Night. Now, this was a custom 106 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 3: them all over the place, in a million bars and 107 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: restaurants and clubs, Ladies' Night Wednesday, Thursday, some night is Ladies' Night. 108 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: That means the ladies drink half price. Now, why would 109 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 3: you do that, because how do you get men to 110 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: show up at a certain bar? You have women there, 111 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 3: a lot of women, their men show up. So that's 112 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: that's how you do it. Obviously, Ladies Night drinks half priced. 113 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 3: A lot of women are going to go here, and 114 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: they say, well wait a minute's half price. Let's go there, 115 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 3: and it becomes very popular and the more crowded it 116 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: get to, the more people want to go there. So 117 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: it's been done for a million years all over America Ladies' Night. Well, 118 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,239 Speaker 3: this place, because it's in California, got sued and sued 119 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 3: and sued and sued. It's gender discrimination. It's they were 120 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 3: just trying to harass this place. Well it worked and 121 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 3: they spent so much money on lawsuits that they're basically finished. 122 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 3: They're going to have to close, and now we can't 123 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 3: discourage other places from having ladies night. It does bring 124 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 3: in a lot of women. It's not a bad idea. 125 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 3: So hopefully, hopefully Donald Trump comes in and ends this 126 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: woke nonsense. Hopefully it's a new era as we go, 127 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: non woke. Let's take some calls eight hundred two eight 128 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: two two eight eight two eight hundred two eight two 129 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 3: to eight eight two.

Not bad. 136 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 4: I think Trump has a lot of good ideas, especially 137 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 4: like RFK making America healthy again. Yeah, I have a 138 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 4: question for the audience. I am healthy. I am semi retired, 139 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 4: meaning I'm retired, but I'm looking for something to do. 140 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 4: And the thing is right now, I have to be 141 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 4: careful that I don't get a full time job, otherwise 142 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 4: I lose my health benefits through Social Security. 143 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, that can happen. 144 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 4: Why can't I pay it in to Social Security? For 145 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 4: forty plus years. Why can't I go get a full 146 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 4: time job. It's something I like doing. It may not 147 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 4: well be the greatest. 148 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: I don't know much about Social Security, and it is 149 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 3: run by the government, so everything there is a disaster. 150 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: But if you go back to work full time, how 151 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 3: are you retired? You're either retired or you're not retired. 152 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 3: You can't be both. 153 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 4: That's what I'm asking you. That's not common sense. 154 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: Well, it kind of is. I know social Security. I'm 155 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: sure it's a mess. I've never had a deal with them. 156 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 3: But uh, and the government messes up everything. But I 157 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: can understand their point. Either you're retired or you're not retired. 158 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 3: You can't do both. Why not, wells if you go 159 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 3: to work full time, you're not retired. You're going to 160 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 3: work every day from nine to five. You're not retired. 161 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 4: Hey, just has nothing to do with being retired. What 162 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 4: it says is I put in. 163 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 3: I understand you get it when you retire. 164 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 4: If i'm why why am I being penalized for being productive. 165 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 3: Because you unretired? 166 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 4: No? 167 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 3: I just now let me point out to the audience. 168 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 3: If you're with a family gathering and you get into 169 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: these fights, don't even try. Now, I've tried. How many 170 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 3: times have I tried? 171 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 6: Here? 172 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: Three? 173 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 3: Four times? With this guy? You cannot win. You can't 174 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: win that psycho. You know, when you get into these 175 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 3: political argument, especially with people if it's about Trump or 176 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 3: Democrats or Biden, don't argue with anybody. It could be 177 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 3: the family dinner. You could be out with friends when 178 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 3: they start, just yes, I'm to death and change the subject. 179 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 3: Somebody says to me, Donald Trump elected, this is the 180 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 3: worst nightmare. I can't sleep at night. I just yeah, 181 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 3: me too. Anyway, you see the football, get Just change 182 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 3: the subject. Don't even try. You're not changing anybody's opinion. 183 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 3: Not going to happen. Don't even bother. Let's go to 184 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: Mike in Ohio. Mike, how you doing. 185 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 6: I'm well, thanks for taking my call, mark, And in 186 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 6: the spirit of changing that subject. Because I'm in my sixties, 187 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 6: i am retired. You can add me to the list 188 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 6: of Americans who also love that chart that you spoke of. 189 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 3: A little bit. 190 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 6: I wanted to refer back to the prior caller before 191 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 6: you went to commercial break and his typical use of 192 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 6: euphemism and lots of syllables and all that kind of stuff. 193 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 6: To dredge up the idea of a corporate narrative as 194 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 6: a justification and a rationally behind uh, murdering a healthcare 195 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 6: company executive. And there's a predicate assumption of facts not 196 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 6: in evidence behind that argument, where the healthcare executive or 197 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 6: the healthcare company is ultimately responsible for the misery or 198 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 6: the pain or condition that that person has. And I, 199 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 6: you know, somebody's going to have to show me how 200 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 6: that healthcare company ultimately is responsible for condition X in 201 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 6: case of the the guy. 202 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 3: That's a good point. Whatever the nightmare of the healthcare 203 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 3: system is, it's not that guy's fault. He's got to 204 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 3: operate in it. Obviously, Yes, that's exactly it. 205 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 6: And we can, we can, you know, quibble about the 206 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 6: points of the denials of coverage and that kind of stuff, 207 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 6: but to go to the extent where you would murder 208 00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 6: another human being and and and then have these SICKA 209 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 6: fans come behind the events and say, you know, well, 210 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 6: you know, hey, yeah, it's bad kill somebody, but you 211 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 6: know they're responsible for yeah. 212 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 3: Now, but you bring up a good point. They're really 213 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 3: not responsible. Listen, if you were Brian Thompson, you're the 214 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 3: head of United healthcare. You would love to give the 215 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 3: greatest service in the world, because then everybody would sign up, 216 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 3: everybody would leave every other company. You'd wipe out your competitors. 217 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 3: But you got the nightmares of trying to exist in 218 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 3: the system. You gotta show a profit. You got to 219 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 3: do whatever you have to do. It's horrible, but that's 220 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 3: the system. And again you can hate the health care company, 221 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 3: but they're operating in this terrible system. That's why a 222 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 3: guy like Trump sometimes it's good at figuring out the 223 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: broader picture, the forests of the trees, like the root 224 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 3: root cause of you. Kamala like to talk about root 225 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 3: cause United Healthcare whatever they were doing that was just 226 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 3: terrible for the customers. There was a root cause in 227 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: the system. You got to you got to fix the 228 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 3: whole system. And that's where you need a guy like 229 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: Elon Muskin. Hopefully with the government efficiency, they'll start to 230 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 3: look at you know, the problem with the healthcare system 231 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: is the cost. It's out of control. It's probably totally corrupt. 232 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 3: Why would it be five thousand dollars a night for 233 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 3: a hospital room. You could go stay in the Ritz Carlton, 234 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 3: the finest suite and it's twelve hundred a night. Why 235 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 3: would it be eighteen dollars for an aspirin in the hospital. 236 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 3: I can go to Costco and get a box that 237 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: big for like Ford out. It's the corrupt system. You 238 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 3: got to clean it up. Hopefully Musk and Vivek have 239 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 3: that on the list.

And I see 318 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 9: one coming down the pike already already this week. Get 319 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 9: ready for what I call trans murder mania. I noticed 320 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 9: this in the number of papers this morning. They're going 321 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 9: to start this narrative that trans people get murdered more 322 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 9: often than other people. And it's because you and me, Mark, 323 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 9: It's because you and I are upset about boys being 324 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 9: in a girl's locker room, and shouldn't we be ashamed 325 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 9: because this is leading to murder. Of course, that's not 326 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 9: why they get murdered. They get murdered, and by the way, 327 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 9: whoever murders them should be prosecuted to the full extent 328 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 9: of the law. Absolutely, But they're getting murdered, Mark, because 329 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 9: they live live, they have a very high rate of 330 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 9: at risk lives. They're very highly likely to be in 331 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 9: prostitution or in the heavy drug trades or other parts 332 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 9: of life that are very, very dangerous. It's very sad, 333 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 9: but that's got nothing to do with you or me 334 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 9: not wanting our daughters to be in a locker room 335 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 9: with an adult male, and we shouldn't be. But by 336 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 9: the way, this is what's gonna happen. I already saw 337 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 9: it in the La Times, in the Chicago Sun Times. 338 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 9: They're going to start to try to hit us with 339 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 9: this nonsense. So no, they have not learned their lesson. 340 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 9: They'll move from immigration to this and back and forth 341 00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 9: over the next few months. 342 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: You just want, well, it's. 343 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 3: A long democratic tradition. In fact, it goes back to 344 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 3: the French Revolution. You try to create some fake nightmare boogeyman, 345 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 3: you know, the QAnon, or it's the alt right, or 346 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 3: it's the teep. You try to drum up some fear 347 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 3: of something, and only you can rescue these people from it. Remember, 348 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 3: was white supremacist this. There's a handful of white supremacists 349 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 3: somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, maybe in a prison somewhere, 350 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 3: but outside that it's not a big problem. So, but 351 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 3: you think people have just stopped falling for all of. 352 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 9: This, Yes, you know, I have noticed. It's it's been refreshing. 353 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 9: Fewer people are falling into this you know, this nonsense. 354 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 9: You know again, I mean, obviously the election result is 355 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 9: the best example that all the hoaxes and the lies 356 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 9: about Donald Trump didn't really take. I think there was 357 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 9: also an aspect of not just smarts and people getting 358 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 9: wise to it. Mark, but I think people just got 359 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 9: really tired of it. You know, there's only so much 360 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 9: of the world is on fire that a human brain 361 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 9: can take, and they eventually either turn the channel or 362 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 9: just focus on something else. You know, I'm a Jets fan. 363 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 9: I can't take the end of the world anymore than 364 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 9: just watching that team. So I mean, honestly, at some 365 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 9: point you get tired of it and you really you 366 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 9: at least need to take a break. 367 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: And so I don't. 368 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 9: Again, that's something that this news media doesn't get. And 369 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 9: they also don't get how to really attract an audience. 370 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 9: And I see CNN is leading this morning with the 371 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 9: fact that conservatives are arguing over the h one bbs. 372 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: But that's democracy. 373 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 9: By the way, no one killed anyone over this. 374 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: We're arguing. We're having a very smart debate. 375 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 9: Meanwhile, you got this New York subway murderer story, him 376 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 9: getting arraigned. 377 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: To me, that's a much bigger story. I don't know. 378 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 9: These people apparently don't want to have viewers or listeners. 379 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 9: They're not covering that at all. So you know, they 380 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 9: don't even know how to scare us properly or sensationalize properly. 381 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: They're just so lost. 382 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, the subway story, and I'm moving in a know 383 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: around the country. A guy just an illegal, you're illegal 384 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 3: set a woman on fire, burned or up on fire 385 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 3: on the subway. Because of that Daniel Penny case, everybody 386 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 3: was afraid to get involved or do anything. Was it 387 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 3: a black guy and a white woman. 388 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 9: I think that was a Guatemalan illegal migrant who had 389 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 9: been deported and he came back illegally under the Biden administration, 390 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 9: you know, easy open border policies. But I really think 391 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 9: this is a story mark that could really turn the tide, 392 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 9: even in the Blue cities and the blue sanctuary cities, 393 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 9: because anytime somebody says we have to do X, Y 394 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 9: and Z to pay, use taxpayer money to help these 395 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,239 Speaker 9: illegal migrants and not allow Donald Trump to get all 396 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 9: you need to do is show them this horrific video. 397 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 9: And the video is horrific. I warn anyone watching it. 398 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 9: You see a woman burning and people just walking by. 399 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 9: You know, we had a famous case in New York 400 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 9: City in the nineteen sixties, the Kiddy Genovesi case. This 401 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 9: is a woman who was raped and murdered in Queen's 402 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 9: and there was a lie that was perpetuated for decades 403 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 9: that no one did anything about it. Because the New 404 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 9: York Times reported they've been fake news for fifty years. Mark, 405 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 9: the New York Times reporter, said that nobody came to 406 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 9: help her. It turned out that wasn't true. That many 407 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 9: people tried to help her, including a very small, smallish 408 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 9: woman who almost died herself trying to save her. But 409 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 9: the New York Times reporter wanted to rate the sensational 410 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 9: story that nobody cared. Sadly, in this case, we have 411 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 9: the video showing even the cops walking by as this 412 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 9: woman is standing up. And by the way, they haven't 413 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 9: been able to identify this woman yet. I mean, how 414 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 9: alone in the world mushi be. She's been missing since 415 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 9: Sunday and no one's come to the cops and say, oh, 416 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 9: I think that was my loved one. 417 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a really horrific story. But hopefully the silver. 418 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 9: Lining of it will be that it will end this 419 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,479 Speaker 9: argument that we have to protect these illegal migrants from 420 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 9: the evil Donald Trump. This is what they're doing in 421 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 9: our city. They can't be allowed to continue. 422 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 3: So Democratic party we're talking to, Chaick Novak is a mess, 423 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 3: a total shambles. The brand is damaged. I don't think 424 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 3: they realize how much crime affects every voter and the 425 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 3: border and all that they've got to clean up this party. 426 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 3: Who's going to Is there anybody right now who's really 427 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 3: the boss in democratic world? Anybody in charge? 428 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: No, one person. 429 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 9: Let's talk about our grammar here singular. I can't say that. No, 430 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 9: we don't know who is in charge. It's been an 431 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 9: anonymous committee running this White House since day one. We 432 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 9: know that now since we know, I mean a lot 433 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 9: of us new in twenty nineteen that Joe Biden wasn't 434 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 9: all there, but I guess now it's documented to twenty 435 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 9: twenty one when he first took office. And the only 436 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 9: person who has come forward in the last few days 437 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 9: to say I want to take over this party is 438 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 9: Mary Anne Williamson, who has no chance in hell of 439 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 9: getting he wants to be the DNC chairwoman. 440 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: It's never gonna happen. 441 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 9: But it's very telling that someone who's on there, I mean, 442 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 9: she's on the fringe even for the Democrats. 443 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: She apparently used to be a. 444 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 9: Bernie Sanders kind of acolyte, but she's not even in 445 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,479 Speaker 9: his inner circle. I mean, she is completely on the outs, 446 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 9: and she's the only one to stand up but just 447 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 9: goes to show Mark it's still an anonymous committee that's 448 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 9: running this party, running this White House. We don't know 449 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 9: who the I mean, I can guess some of the 450 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 9: people I can. I assume Barack Obama's on it, Susan Rice, 451 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 9: David Axod, maybe even Nancy Pelosi. But I don't know 452 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 9: the names of the full committee, which means I have 453 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 9: less freedom than the people of the Soviet Union back 454 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 9: in the worst days of the USSR, because at least 455 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 9: they knew the names of their darn polypuro. I don't 456 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 9: know the names of the secret committee that's running my 457 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 9: country right now, at least until January twentieth. 458 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 3: If it was Barack Obama, then I would assume that's 459 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 3: over because he's like a New York Jets coach where 460 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 3: he called all the wrong plays and they lost the game. 461 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 3: So wouldn't they be done with him by now listening 462 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 3: to him? 463 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? 464 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 8: I think. 465 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 9: You know, when he gave that speech the Friday before 466 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 9: Thanksgiving and he was leaving the country, I got the 467 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 9: feeling that he was throwing up the sands and saying, 468 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 9: all right, I'm done. And I do think they are 469 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 9: moving on from him, but you're but I don't think 470 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 9: they have anybody to move on to. You know, this 471 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 9: is this is an example of where it would have 472 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 9: been nice if Bill Clinton hadn't really destroyed his political legacy. 473 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 9: He's still apparently he's quite sick, but still he had 474 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 9: a winning brand for the Democrats, love him or hate him. 475 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 9: He created a Democratic party that was pro capitalism, that 476 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 9: was softer on a board, that didn't shove abortion down 477 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 9: our throats. I shouldn't use that term with Bill Clinton. Sorry, 478 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 9: that didn't you know? That wasn't crazy about crime. He 479 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 9: was in favor of the death penalty. Wouldn't it be 480 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 9: great if they could go back, But they completely ran 481 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 9: him out of town. He did it to himself too, 482 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 9: with the Lewinsky scandal and allowing Hillary Clinton to go 483 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 9: crazy far left to get Obama's endorsement. You know, he 484 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 9: could have rained her in and said, hey, listen, I'll 485 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 9: support you for president, Hillary, but you're ruining the legacy 486 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 9: that I created. So it wouldn't it be nice if 487 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 9: they could go to him. It'd be great if they 488 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 9: could go to a guy like John Fetterman, who like, listen, 489 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 9: I don't know how John Fetterman is going to vote. 490 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 9: I don't know if he's really that reliable in that way. 491 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 9: But he's the one sane voice in that party in 492 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 9: a high level position. He's a member of the US Senate. 493 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 9: It would be great if they turned to him for 494 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 9: some leadership, but clearly he's not in the inner circle. 495 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 9: So they do have some options, but it's a faraway 496 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 9: for them to go, and they've dug their own hole. 497 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 8: Yeah. 498 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 3: The only with Fetterman we don't know. Is he some 499 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 3: sort of fake phony Joe Manchin, you know, trying to 500 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 3: like play with everybody. He could be that too. 501 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know yet. 502 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 9: And I advise everyone, I'm not the first one to 503 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 9: say this, I advise everyone not to make him a 504 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 9: saint yet. But on the other hand, when somebody does 505 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 9: something good or says something good from the other side, 506 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 9: I think we should make a big point of agreeing. 507 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 9: So when he says great stuff about Israel, when he 508 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 9: says great stuff about how blue collar people have been 509 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 9: ignored by the Democratic Party, we should let everyone know 510 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 9: that we agree with that, and here's our plan to 511 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 9: make sure that that continues on our side. 512 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: And also say, hey, if you really think. 513 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 9: That, John, then then confirm Trump's nominees. Vote for this bill, 514 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 9: that kind of thing, and let's just see if he's 515 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 9: willing to put his money where his mouth is. And 516 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,239 Speaker 9: if that's the case, then he'll deserve more praise. Until then, 517 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 9: we should always be careful with people Republicans do, not 518 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 9: just Democrats. 519 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, take Novack. Speaking of Israel, what's going to happen? 520 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 3: What can Trump do? How can you settle that real fast? 521 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 9: Well, Joe Biden's administration has been slow walking weapons and 522 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 9: other things Israel needs to fight these wars. They've also 523 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 9: been constantly telling them what they can and can't do, 524 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 9: and it's cost a lot of lives for not just Israelis, 525 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 9: but also some other civilians. 526 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: So Donald Trump is going to end that. 527 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 9: You know, again, a lot of you may not notice 528 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 9: it because some of this stuff that Biden's been doing, 529 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 9: the administration's been doing, has been in secret. The only 530 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 9: thing that you know, you really saw that was very 531 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 9: clear was when they said don't go into Rafa, and 532 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 9: thank god they did go into Raffa still be fighting, 533 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 9: you know, Camas would still be pretty strong. So Donald 534 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 9: Trump will remove those stoppers, and I think it will 535 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 9: very much quickly end what's left of the war with Caamas, 536 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 9: what's left of the war with Vezibalah, and now the 537 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 9: war with the Houtis, who of course simultaneously attack the 538 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 9: US and Israel. So that'll be a double win for 539 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 9: the American people. So I do think we're going to 540 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 9: see that, and I think mark that within six months 541 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 9: of Donald Trump taking the other of office, we will 542 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 9: see Saudi Arabia sit down and sign an actual peace 543 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 9: treaty with Israel and join the Abraham Accords. I think 544 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 9: that will happen by June, and that will be because 545 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 9: of Donald Trump. 546 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 3: Well, hey, when he demands the hostages back. I hate 547 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 3: to even ask, but what are the odds these hostages 548 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 3: are alive? 549 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 9: I think about you know, the number I keep hearing 550 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 9: from my sources is fifty or fifty one of the 551 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 9: hostages are still alive. I'd like to believe that maybe 552 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 9: conservatively it's maybe half that I don't know, but again, 553 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 9: they keep giving me that number fifty to fifty one, 554 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 9: and I'm hoping it's more, but it's probably that. The 555 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 9: issue is where are they in Gaza? Did they get 556 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 9: snuck into Egypt? Because there was a time when they 557 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 9: were able to get into Egypt pretty freely. There's some 558 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 9: horrific rumors about what's happening to the two toddlers, the 559 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 9: babies that were kidnapped, that they're now being raised to 560 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 9: be terrorists themselves. I mean, her horrible, horrible stories, But 561 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 9: it's possible. Listen, the nation that was able to blow 562 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 9: up these guys with pagers that they sold them, I 563 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 9: believe has an opportunity. 564 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: You know, there's a chance that they. 565 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 9: Have a better idea of where these hostages are. And 566 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 9: so I'm just hoping that they will be returned. And 567 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 9: I do think that's something. I think we will get 568 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 9: some of them back. I'm not going to throw out 569 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,479 Speaker 9: a number there, because I don't want to say too 570 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 9: small a number and be under optimistic or too big 571 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 9: a number and disappoint people. But I do think that 572 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 9: also within a few months of Trump's taking office, we 573 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 9: will have some of these hostages returned. 574 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 3: Now, Donald Trump would have a lot of leverage with Iran. 575 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 3: He could destroy their oil economy if he got them 576 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 3: to cut the funding for all of these groups. What 577 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 3: would that do? 578 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 9: That would immediately immediately show a tremendous, tremendous plus. You know, 579 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 9: Hezbollah is still getting weapons from Iran. The Hutis are 580 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 9: getting a massive amount of weapons from Iran if the 581 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 9: money is cut off and they're unable to But it 582 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 9: costs you around a lot of money to do this, 583 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 9: not only to procure the weapons, but to get them 584 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 9: around some of the blockades and things like that. And 585 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 9: this is what I always tell the American people. Don't 586 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 9: listen to anyone who says we need to have a 587 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 9: full on war with Iran and the American troops ever 588 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 9: have to be in the Middle East. They never do. 589 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 9: They just need to cut off the darn money. And 590 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 9: whatever American forces are in the Middle East right now 591 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 9: wouldn't have to be engaged if we didn't have it 592 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 9: Biden administration. They're talking about well over two hundred billion 593 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 9: dollars under the Biden administration that went to Iran that 594 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 9: easily could could have been withheld from them, and almost 595 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 9: all that money went to killing innocent people period. That 596 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 9: it's easy to understand, and so it's easy to understand 597 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 9: that cutting that off would lead to a left death 598 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 9: and destruction. 599 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 3: Well, Jake Novak, great stuff.

They literally say 655 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,239 Speaker 3: this is the person you call on. They'd put his 656 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 3: name in big block letters with a picture, so he'd 657 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 3: know who they were. Four or five people to call on, 658 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 3: here what they look like, and then they would print 659 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 3: out the answer on a card. He'd read the answer, 660 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 3: and then he'd end the thing and try to walk 661 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 3: off the stage. But didn't know where the door was. 662 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 3: It's at the White House, it's his own house, he 663 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 3: lives there.
