• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the popabook. No they gotta change tool.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: No they won't. They won't all they won't.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, you know better, boy.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: No they won't. For a second. They actually don't make
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: any money on the news or the Sunday shows. It's uh,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, they sell commercials, but it's not a big
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: part of their revenue. It's just on principle they do it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: The Sunday show makes no money, it has no viewers,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: but it's fake news and they love it. Let's go
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to Kay in Manhattan, k how you doing.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: High Mark?
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: I'd like what I'd like to say These voters who
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: are who are thinking about voting for Democrats because of
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: the economy. But they remind me of a woman who
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: has a boyfriend who batters her and abuses her, and
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: then she meets a really nice guy and he forgets
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: her birthday, so she goes back to the first guy.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Well, I can't even believe these people would think about
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: voting for Democrats after what this country has been through.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Well, it happens, It happens. Hey, they voted for mom Donnie.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: By the way, remember I was mentioned before. Nobody reads
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the print edition of a newspaper. Nobody. It's tiny, the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: circulation of a print edition. It's all subscriptions now, so
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: if you're the New York Times, all your money is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: off subscriptions, twelve million subscribers.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Well, one thing that did is and they found, you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in the print edition is you turn the page as
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a full page ad. Wow, you'd see this ad. What
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they found with the people that read the paper online
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: is they don't pay any attention to the ads. They
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: don't even look at them, and they don't The only
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: way they make money is if you click on the ad. Well,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: nobody clicks on the ads. Online on a newspaper. So
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: all the revenue is from the subscriptions now and not
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: from advertising. And that's one reason the New York Times
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and other publications have been able to go crazy left wing,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: totally slanted partisans, because they're no longer depending on advertising revenue.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So the New York Times, Washington Posts, they can go
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: totally nuts. All the money is subscriptions, no longer advertising.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about advertiser backlash anymore if
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you're a newspaper. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark, I'm doing very well. Thank you. Mark.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: A question about the autopen during the Biden administration, what
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: exactly will President and Trump do or has he done
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: regarding pardons?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Well, good question. He has said if it's an autopen pardon,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: they're going to probably cancel it because it wasn't actually
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: signed by Biden and the technically the president has to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: sign it. Apparently there is some way you can tell
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: if it was the autopen or a real signature. Let's
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: go to Joe in New York City. Joe, how you doing?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Those crazy sig Democrats saying jingle bells is racist? That's nonsense, Mark,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: he went the Three Stooges did jingle Bells.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: There you go. Well, I told you we have the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: most incredible high end audience in the world. There are
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: some exceptions, there's a few. Now, what he's talking about
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: is this crazy Joy Reed, who got fired from MSNBC
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: yelling and screaming yesterday that jingle Bells is racist. Jingle
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Bells is racist. I don't know what the hell she's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: talking about. She claims it was written by a Confederate
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: soldier who wrote jingle Bells and he was making fun
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of black people, and that it has its origins in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: bigoted minstrel shows that were popular at the time. Well,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that doesn't make any sense. It was a song. But
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Joy Reid claiming jingle Bells is racist. However, this makes
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: her look pretty hy critical. I found out she made
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a recording of the song years ago. I found this
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: is Joy Reid singing jingle Bells. Pretty good, it's not bad. Actually,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: let's go to Jeffrey and Queen's Jeffrey. How you doing, Yeah, Mark,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: good morning? Yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Listen to the single Affordability as well. I'll pay you
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: the truth. You go to like ten twenty different supermarkets
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: and you fished them up the pis, especially the ones
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: one by cats from the dds, thestids and the other ones.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: The prices are through the roof.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Well. I always find the Gristitis prices are pretty good.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: There's different supermarkets, but you got to remember you can't
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: compare like a Manhattan supermarket. If you really want to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: test affordability, you got to get out of New York City.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Things cost a whole lot more in Manhattan because there's
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: all kinds of costs to a supermarket. They don't have
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: your things. You don't think about. You know, if you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: run a supermarket, a million trucks have to show up
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: every day and deliver your food. So if you got
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a supermarket in Long Island or in Westchester, you got
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a big parking lot and the trucks come in and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: deliver your food. If it's in Manhattan, the trucks have
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to double park. They get ticketed like crazy. So if
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you're a supermarket, you're paying like half a million a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: year in parking tickets things like that, you're paying congestion
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: pricing to you're paying all kinds of taxes. So the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: supermarket that brings up the price is paying millions in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: expenses they wouldn't be paying if they were in the suburbs.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: So again, something with gas, don't you know. Don't look
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: at a gas pump in New York City and think
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that's the price around the country. It's not. Hey, when
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: we come back, one of the greatest economists in the world, Now,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: what is the real story with affordability. We'll get to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that next Steve More, we hope coming up next on
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: seven to ten WR
