  Speaker 1: Mark simonem On sevent wr.

  Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's January twentieth, one year anniversary of the
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Trump administration. Was one year ago today that he took office,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: and in the first year he's done what most presidents
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: would get done in eight years. Some good, some bad,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Some people love and some it drives them nuts. The
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Trump de arrangement syndrome is out there, and as I said,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the Left is now calling it Trump exhaustion syndrome. They
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: love attacking anything he does, but it's fifty things a day.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: It's driving them crazy. Greenland especially. Let me just explain
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a couple of things about Greenland. There's no possibility of
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: any military action there, just a negotiating thing that he does,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and he's getting the left going crazy. He sent a
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: letter to the Denmark about but he opened with since
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't get the Nobel Prize. There's no connection between
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Greenland and the Nobel Prize. It's just negotiating. I've watched
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: him do this for thirty years. That's how you start
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: a negotiation with him. He hits you with forty seven things.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: It's like a million things are coming at you once.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: You don't know what to respond to first. It's an
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: amazing thing to watch. He has different ways of negotiating.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: You know, Normally, if you go into a negotiation, at
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: some point the other side might threaten to sue you.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: But if it's Trump, he'll start with the law. He'll
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: sue you first, then start negotiating. So he like, it's
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: one negotiating technique he uses. He starts like a def
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: con one. That way, you're in total panic and he's calm.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: He's used to that kind of environment, and it just
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: screws up the other side. But there's no threat of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: military action. That's not going to happen. He'll be at
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Davos for two days, three days, and the big thing
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: at Davos is what they call the sidelines. On the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: sidelines they talk and the trip they make deals, so
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of that get settled there. Hey. In Iran,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the protests continue. Iranian doctors. Iranian doctors are saying they
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: believe the death toll is over sixteen thousand protesters between
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: sixteen thousand and eighteen thousand. Most of the victims killed
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: believed to be younger than thirty. But this is coming
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: from doctors at eight major hospitals and sixteen emergency centers. Again,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: they believe it's over sixteen thousand protesters killed. Now, why
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: don't you hear more about this? Well, because they're not
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: protesting Trump. So if they were protesting Trump, you'd be
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: hearing about it NonStop, twenty four to seven. If one
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: of them was even pushed, you'd hear about this. But
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: sixteen thousand killed, Left couldn't care less, pays no attention
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: to it now. Apparently, over at CBS News, in an
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: editorial meeting, the new head who was brought in to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: clean it up and try to turn it into an
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: actual news news organization instead of just a left wing
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: propaganda site, said that in the editorial meetings, so why
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: aren't we covering more about Iran, about the protesters. This
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: is big news, This is a big international development. The
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: CBS News team doesn't want to spend any time on this.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: They don't want to waste time on this when they
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: can be attacking Trump. And apparently at one point in
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the meeting, the new head of CBS actually said, hey,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: how about actually covering the news, which they didn't like hearing,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: but it's a pretty good idea. Again, expect Don Lemon
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and those criminals that entered the church illegally and disrupted
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the ceremony. Expect them to most likely get indicted. It's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: something Common Justice Department is preparing charges against those protesters,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: so expect that to happen soon. Hey, Mikey Cheryl, the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: New Jersey governor takes office today. It's not a good
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: thing for New Jersey. You never thought you'd miss Phil Murphy,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: did you? But or as I heard Curtis call him
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the half in the bag Phil, half in the bag
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Phil Murphy. But Mikey Cheryl vows that you will put
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the state on the front lines of anti Trump movement.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I guess, listen, if you live in New Jersey, got
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of problems. You got high taxes, you got
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: corruption everywhere in government, you got all these problems. The
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: last thing you need is to go to war with
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the federal government. But that's what she's proposing. And I
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: don't know why Cheryl, Mikey Cheryl is not even on
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Trump's radar, but she's indicated she's hoping to become a
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: thorn in his side and make the Garden State a
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: model for fighting him, which is absolutely totally irresponsible of
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a governor. You depend on an administration for federal funding
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: for all that sort of stuff. Starting a war with
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: him serves no purpose. But here's Mikey Cheryl.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: My message is that the area I represent is responsible
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: for an incredible amount of innovation for the nation's economy.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: And to continue to punish the people of New Jersey, who,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: by the way, send seventy billion dollars more in federal
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: taxes to the government than we receive back, to continue
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: to attack opportunity, innovation, schools, jobs, cost of living is madness.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, see that's a problem. She said, we send
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: more money to the federal government than we get back.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: That's the cry of the amateur who doesn't know anything
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: about how any of this works. I mean, remember that
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: we had have was it a senate candidate here in
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: New York. That was her whole campaign. We're sending more
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: money to the federal government than we get back. Now
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that's a real idiot. Amateur doesn't understand anything that's good.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: That's good, that means you're prospering and doing well, you're
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: making a ton of money. How much you send to
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the federal government is about how much income tax people
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: have to pay here, which is about how much they earned.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: If you're sending a lot of money in the federal
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: government means you earned a lot of money and it
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: was great. There are some states that get more money
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: from the federal government than they send in. Now, how
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: is that possible? Because in those states people aren't making
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: any money, their income is extremely low, and many of
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: them are on welfare. Many of them are getting subsidies
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: because they're doing so badly. So if you're ever a
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: state getting more money from the government than you send in,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: it means you're a welfare case. It's the worst thing
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: in the world. But the fact that Mikey Cheryl said
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: that means she really doesn't understand any of this stuff.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Here's more, And I can guarantee you, after spending a
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: year and speaking to thousands of people across the state,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: that there is not one person in New Jersey that
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: wakes up in the morning and says, gee, I hope
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to day's the day that the president dumps billions of
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: dollars into buying Greenland while my grocery store costs continue
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: to go up.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: That's a trade.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Nobody wants that trade.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I see, that's another problem. I realize she's just
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a crazy Trump derangement syndrome. Person. But ices have been
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: coming down steadily all year. Ever since Trump took office.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Grocery prices have been coming down. The fact that she
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: doesn't know that, well, that makes her look a little
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: out of touch with everything.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: I said.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: The protesters have been peaceful, but ICE hasn't been there.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Are you see protesters have been peaceful, I don't know.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're not shooting anybody, but they're committing crimes
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: left and right. You're not allowed to drive your car
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: into the middle of an ICE operation and block the street.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: You're not allowed to try to hit an ICE officer
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: with your car. I wouldn't defend it. I mean, remember
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: have had Renee Good not been shot, she would be
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: in prison for the next five to seven years.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: I said.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: The protesters have been peaceful, but ICE hasn't been. They're
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: assaulting people on the street. They're busting through windows and cars.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: People are driving their kids home from basketball practice getting
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: tear gassed people.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you see again the fact that the government would
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: a governor just lie like this. Nobody the ICE is
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: not going up the cars and busting windows. You'd have
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to drive into their operation disrupt it. They would then
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: have to order you to get out of the car.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: You'd have to refuse to get out of the car.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: You'd have to refuse to comply, you'd have to resist arrest.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: If you refuse to get out of there, then they
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: would bust the window. So she's lying about.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: That are getting shot and killed by these out of
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: control proto military agents. And I think the president's trying.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know what all it means, but it sounded good.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: These proto military age, proto military whatever.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: The hell that is trying to incite the protesters so
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: that he can take America's eyes off the fact that
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: his militia that he's building around this country is actually
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: attacking American citizens.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Uh, you're laughing at us from Momdani, Now we can
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: laugh at you. You got this wacko left winger describing
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: actual federal law enforcement as a militia. I think you're
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: gonna have more of a problem with this woman and
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: that we're going to have with Mom. Donnie. Now, the
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: idea of ICE agents being sent into the cities arresting people,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: starting with the criminal illegals. Who would come up with
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: such a thing, Well, Barack Obama did it all the time.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: To the tune of a couple million over his eight years.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Barack Obama did it all the time, exactly the same operations,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: exactly the same thing with ice, and he deported them.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Nobody said a word. Why it was a Democrat but
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Barack Obama. Actually, Obama could suit Trump for plagiarism. Everything
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Trump is doing comes from the Obama administration.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: That's why over the past six years, deportations of criminals
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: are up eighty percent, and that's why we're going to
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: keep focusing enforcement resources on actual threats to our security.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, try to name something down Trump has done in
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: office that Obama or Clinton didn't do or Biden. I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: don't think you can do it. I think it's possible.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Everything you hate that he's done, Obama did it, Clinton
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: did it. Everything he said the Democrats said, he is
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Bill Clinton.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected,
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: or legal immigrants. The public service they use impost burdens
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: on our taxpayers.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: That's why our administration has.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: many criminal aliens as ever before.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Just think about this. If John F. Kennedy came back
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to life and saw today's Democratic Party, the screaming nutjob,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: ridiculous looking women in Minnesota attacking Ice. If John F.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Kennedy came back to life today and his Democratic Party,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: he just start to cry. Also, Al Sharpton out picketing
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: with the nurses. Can you imagine Martin Luther King coming
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: back to life. Imagine Martin Luther King comes back and
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: see who's running things now, Al Sharpton.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Martin Luther King died in Memphis fighting for wages for
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: garbage workers, and I believe he would want those of
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: us to come in his tradition, to be standing with nurses.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think Martin Luther King if he came back
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: and saw Al Sharpton flying around those private jets, glombing
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: money out of corporations, showing up at problems, getting paid
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: to go away, I don't think Martin Luther King would
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: be for that. Now you want the strangest story in
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the news, try to figure this one out. Jeb Bush
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: heaping praise on Donald Trump. Jeb Bush heaps praise on
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Trump's unprecedented support for Iranians. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: credited his former foe President Donald Trump for historic leadership.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Now what the hell is this all about? Now? Nobody
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: hated the Donald Trump more than the Bushes. And I
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: don't blame them. I mean, not that they should hate them,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: but I can understand why they would hate him. The
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Trump campaign began, he knocked out the Hillary Clinton, the
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Clinton dynasty, but the Bush dynasty that's been around for
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: forty years. They thought that Trump, a little amateur Trump,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: would have no chance against the Bush dynasty. But he
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: just wiped out the Bush dynasty, ended the careers of
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the Bushes of Jeb Bush. So they had every reason
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to be furious bitter. That's why Carl Rove all the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Bushies all hate Trump so much. Why all of a
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: sudden would Donald Trump get praised by Jeb Bush. Why
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: would Jeb Bush by be calling Trump a historic leader
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: buttering him up praising him? What the hell could that
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: be all about. Well, if I had a guess, the
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: only time I've run into Jeb Bush over the last
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: few years since Trump took office, I'd see him. He'd
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: run into him here in New York, usually in a
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: restaurant where he would be at a table with a
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: bunch of very very very top level business guys with bushy.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Bush would come to New York be meeting with these
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: top top business guys who want to do something and
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: energy and oil and business. So I would assume he's
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: a kind of lobbying for them. Why would they bring
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Bush in. Jeb Bush not exactly the greatest business brain
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: in America, but if he convinced him he could get
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: things done for them, There's a lot of money. There's
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: millions and millions and millions in lobbying fees, and yeah,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: even the Bushes need to make some money, need to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: earn some money. So I would think Jeb maybe all
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that business dried up. He's trying to get back in
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: good graces of Trump, maybe even show up in the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: White House, have a picture or two of Trump, and
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: then all these big business guys will start meeting with
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: them even more, paying them even more. To lobby on
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: their behalf. Hey, a great thing happened in Palm Beach
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. They decided to rename the street, the
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: one that leads to the airport. It's a stretch of
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Southern Boulevard from the airport. Tomorrow a lago, they're going
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: to rename it and put up the street signs President
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump Boulevard, President Donald J. Trump Boulevard. This
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: is very important because it will make many of the
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: remaining liberals left wingers that live in Palm Beach absolutely
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: nuts every time they drive down the street to have
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: to see those signs. I can think of a couple
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I know a few people that are the biggest Trump
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: paters on Earth. They live on Palm Beach and they're
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: always going to the air and they have to drive
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: down that road. So every time they drive down there,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: they'll see President Donald J. Trump Boulevard. Now, a couple
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: of them that I know live in one of those
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Trump buildings. Uh. Trump built three beautiful high rise apartment
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: buildings on the inner coastal many many years ago. It's
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: called the Trump Palm Beach or something. A couple of
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: them living there that I know, the biggest Trumpeter, what
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: do they do well? They had the name removed from
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: the building. They feel better now, but they won't be
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: able to remove these street signs. They're going to be
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: there for years. Hey, we'll take some calls. We'll do that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Next eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: is the number. Eight hundred three to two one zero
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: seven ten. Get Mark on demand by setting a preset
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: for his podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: Now back to Mark Simon onor.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Tim in
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis. Tim, how you doing?
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: Hey, Mark? So good? Glad they have your Hey, look,
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: gott I ask you question. Next time you go on vacation,
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: is it possible you could possibly maybe bring on Rachel
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: Maddow or Don Lemon the guest host instead of Curtis Man.
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: Curtis's TDS was running rampant.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: He does, I don't I heard some of it. He
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't agree with the Trump on Greenland. But that's okay.
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: I tell you what though the band thing he did was,
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: you know, don't he talks to any Trump supporters of
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: drank the kool aid? You know, it's one thing in
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: your opinion and I don't agree, but the thing is
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: when you.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: But Curtis got a lot of great stuff to talk about,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: all kinds of things. You know. Ed Cotch used to
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: have a rule, and he used to say, if you
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: agree with me on nine out of twelve things, vote
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: for me. If you agree on twelve out of twelve,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: see a psychiatrist. You're not going to agree with him
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: on everything. This stuff with me you won't agree on.
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: I could see why Vincent doesn't call in because he
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: must know more.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling something happened way back when with
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: what's going on? What do you do in Saint Louis?
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: Freezing my butt off?
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: Damn Cole Derek.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, it's.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Not warmer in Saint Louis.
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: You're not a little further really not really so But anyway,
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: great show, lack and I just really got turned off.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: But oh, calm down, it's not that bad bad.
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: I was just warner, but just me, or if you're
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: hearing anybody else.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure some people didn't like the criticism of Trump,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: but that was like five minutes out of two hours.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I'm sure Curtis, even me, you'll find things you don't
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: agree with me on, but you can't judge by one thing.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Randall in Maryland. Randall, how you doing.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Oh Mark, have you heard about this basket? The college
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: basketball scandal?
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, these are these students on the team, and there
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: were bad teams. They got paid like ten thousand each
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: to lose the game. Make it even worse than people
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: thought it would be, right.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: The same old story. But I have yet to hear
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: any names of colleges or players.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I thought it was pretty good on their part.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, good for them showing innovation. They make ten
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: thousand a game, these students. You don't think it was good. Well,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: it's a losing team. They're expected to lose by twenty points.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: But these bookmakers want to have them be so bad
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: that they lose by forty points and would help the
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: book makers. But hey, if you stink at basketball, why
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: don't get paid ten thousand a game? It's a all right?
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: You don't agree with me, Well it's not being covered.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I don't who are they and who is being charged?
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Well, how do you know about it if it's not
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: being covered.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I heard about that it's being covered.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Well, just google it, it'll come up. It's not a
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: big story where they'd be right in the front page.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: But google it'll, it'll come up. Are you a gambler?
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Do you bet on the games?
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I don't bet on games, but I do gamble.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. You see, I don't gamble,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: I don't bet on games.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I don't care if they do it.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so that's what I thought. Well, google it, it'll,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: it'll come up. Hey if I was in college. When
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I was in college, I didn't play back. But if
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: somebody offered me ten thousand a game to be even worse, hey,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I'd take it. Why not. Let's go to phil and
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Long Island, Phil. How you doing?
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: Hello, Mark, getting back to the faud in Minneapolis, which
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: you have Waltz and everybody's trying to hide up by
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: putting up this insurrection thing. But I've heard that Mayor
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: fries White.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you're going to find out everybody profited. Hey,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I hate to break it to you that you vote
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: for these socialists. One thing that happens when you get
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: a socialist, they make a fortune and everything gets worse
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: for you. The socialist always makes a fortune. Who's the
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: biggest socialist in government. Bernie Sanders, how many homes does
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: he have now? Four homes, four big mansions. He's doing
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: very very well. He and his wife made millions and
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: millions millions on these campaigns. Bill Deblasio and his wife.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Remember they started that program Thrive NYC. One billion dollars
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: went missing. This happens all the time, this daycare fraud
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: thing in Minnesota. It looks like they're now estimating nineteen
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: or twenty billion, not million. Nineteen billion was robbed. You're
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: going to find a lot of that money went into
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of public officials pockets. It happens all the time.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Watch for it to happen with mom, Donnie. That's why
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: he's talking about a billion dollar program to do this,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: a billion dollar program to do that. There's skimming and
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: money going sideways on those programs that socialists always end
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: up wealthy. Well, the people who have voted for them
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: end up even in worst shape after socialism. Hey, when
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: we come back, the brilliant columnist Liz Peak will be
• 20:54

• 21:25
  Speaker 4: How you doing, I'm terrific. Thank you. Lots going on, Mark, Hey.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: It's one year today. The inauguration of Donald Trump was
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: one year ago. First year today. What do you think
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: is that? Have you ever seen anything as busy as
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: this first year?
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: No, I to say that the president has been a
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: bold and energetic leader, I think vastly understates the accomplishments that.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: He has rolled up in his first year.
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's really pretty unbelievably remarkable. All the while,
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: remember seeing the press on a daily basis handling own,
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: you know, handling interviews and conversations with let's face it.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Mostly hostile press.
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: But I actually wrote a column about it today and
• 22:13
  Speaker 10: just here's just a sampling of what he's accomplished. So
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: we boosted the recruitment for our military, dismantled DEI and
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: a lot of the climate agenda, pushed NATO to up
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: their spending for their own defense, tossed overboard a lot
• 22:30
  Speaker 10: of regulations that Joe Biden put in place that really
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: slowed down our country's progress, challenged our woke universities in
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: a very constructive way, got rid of Nicola Maduro, the
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: head of Venezuela, defended women's sports, significantly derailed Arand's nuclear program,
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: oversaw a whole bunch of health initiatives from RFK Junior,
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: like getting rid of artificial food dies, shrunk the bureaucracy,
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: which I think is unbelievably important federal bureaucracy, and pushed
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: through a massive reconciliation bill that lowered taxes, and that
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: was basically, had it not passed, you were going to
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: have this major tax cliff at the end of last year.
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: So that's just some of it, by no means an
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: exhaustive list. But honestly, Mark, who has ever accomplished all
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: that much in the first year.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we tried this earlier for millions of years. They
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: always wanted to get some of the great CEOs in
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the private sector. Maybe you know, maybe they could be
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: a president. You know, Jack welcher LEI koca. Well, we
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: finally got a CEO from the private sector, and unlike
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: a normal president, it does a couple of things a year.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: As a committee of me. This guy goes a mile
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: a minute, tries to get fifty things done a day
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: like most great CEOs. But is that a good mix
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: with government or will we ever do it again?
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: I hope so, because, as you say, the default is
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: a career politician like Joe Biden, whose idea about tackling
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: a prop is to convene a lot of people and talk, talk, talk,
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: and then pass the buck to Congress, which convenes a
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: conference and a study group and talks, talks, talks, and
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: basically ends up doing nothing. I mean, I actually think
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: that's a fair indictment of the way our system works.
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: There's far too little accountability. I am not happy with
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: some of the things that Trump has done recently, but
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: you got to say the guy is accountable. I mean,
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: he's out there every day confronting his critics. The stock
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: market and other measures, polling and stuff will weigh whether
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: he's doing a good job or a bad job.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: But the reality is he's taking risks.
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: Excuse me, and he's getting things done and he's not finished.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Pat Now, Minnesota, you got videos showing these protesters just
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: the most awful behavior ever. Once in a while you
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: see a video where the ICE maybe got the wrong guy.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: But what do you think in the end this is
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: going to do for the midterms?
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Well, I do want to see de escalation.
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: I mean the idea that Governor Walls is now calling
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: in the National Guard and the Trump is threatening to
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: call in troops. I mean, what are we gonna have
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: a war in Minneapolis with these elements fighting each other.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: That's not tenable. It's not going to happen.
• 25:18
  Speaker 10: But somehow, Frankly, you know what, I think you should
• 25:22
  Speaker 10: just say to the people of Minnesota. Okay, you're governor
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: and you mayor fry of Minneapolis really don't want ICE
• 25:30
  Speaker 10: getting the violent criminals out of these communities, mostly Somali
• 25:34
  Speaker 10: criminals in those state, in that state. So we're just
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: going to leave you to it. We're going to have
• 25:40
  Speaker 10: a ring around your state. I'm serious. If you don't
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: want you got them, you got them. We're going to
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: make sure they don't go any place else because a
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: lot of them are just really horrible people. Child molesters
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: and rapists and murderers. But if you're happy to have
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: them here, we leave you to it and see what happens.
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: I think I don't think people in Minnesota would be
• 26:01
  Speaker 10: very excited about that, and I think that might end up,
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: you know, having local law enforcement kind of do a
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: pivot and say, well, wait a minute, that's not what
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: we had in mind.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: So maybe it would work.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: I like that President should announce Minnesota is now a
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: safe space. We ice will not enter Minnesota every illegal
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Just go there and you'll be safe. Let them all,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: all of them go there.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Perfect.
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm listening to this new governor of New Jersey
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: and she's stuck about the focus on Greenland. When people
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: are struggling to pay for groceries and the prices of
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: groceries are going way up. Well, that's not true at all.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: The price has been coming down all year, haven't they.
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: Well, in the rate of inflation is certainly down from
• 26:43
  Speaker 10: the nine point one percent that it reached under Joe Biden.
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: But unfortunately, because of several years of Bidenomics and high inflation,
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: price is escalated and they don't easily come down. Some
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: things have come down, like gasoline, which is a very
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: big deal for Americans. Definitely cheaper than it was a
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: year ago or two years ago. Price of eggs, which
• 27:04
  Speaker 10: was a big crisis you know, early in the year,
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: early last year, has come down. But look, I mean, unfortunately,
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: it's very difficult to get prices to come down. But
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: mark what's more important than the price level of cereal.
• 27:20
  Speaker 10: And by the way, that's one of the big things
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: that's going up in price right now is things like
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: those processed foods from the big companies.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Is wages.
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: Real wages are going up under President Trump, and they
• 27:33
  Speaker 10: didn't under Joe Biden. So you have American consumers better off.
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: I know that the polling shows people unhappy with the economy.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: I think there are two elements there.
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: One, yeah, you go to the grocery store, you think,
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: holy crow, when did that become ten dollars? But then
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: the other thing I think is that there is this
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: underlying anxiety about AI and about what it means for
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: the jobs market. Anxieties, which I will hasten to add
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: are always magnified by a hostile press, as are the
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: price concerns that people are voicing. I mean, really, if
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: you read the Financial news. You just have to take
• 28:11
  Speaker 10: a step back every single day and say, Okay, you
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: know what, this is not a fair representation. When did
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: you see, by the way, as an example, the media
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: big headlines about the growth rates that we've seen in
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: the last couple of quarters. You don't see that because
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: that's favorable to President Trump, so they're not going to
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: talk about that. When did you see about the big
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: investment boom or productivity and gains in our country? Those
• 28:35
  Speaker 10: are extremely important financial matrix, and yet the media some
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: ignores them and would rather focus on.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Issues that are important for sure, like.
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: Affordability, because that's a Democrat favorable issue. Right now, let's
• 28:51
  Speaker 10: talk about housing though, if you will. There's a number
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: of indicies that measure housing affordability.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: They are improving. Have you seen that headline lately? No,
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: you haven't.
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: Mortgages lately have come down significantly. The President clearly is
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: pushing for even more reductions. So some things are getting better.
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: But the combination of lower taxes, less regulation, high growth,
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: and incomes improving means that every time we have a
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: read on consumers, such as just in the recent days,
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: the holiday sales number, retail sales turns out Haha. Guess
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: what better than expected because the expectations constantly are so
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: beaten down by again a hostile press. And I don't
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: mean to blame everything on the press. I think the
• 29:40
  Speaker 10: Republicans done an absolutely appalling job at selling the big
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: tax bill. Democrats are out there saying, oh, it only
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: favors the wealthy. That is just patently not true. But
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: Republicans never talked it up because I think they were
• 29:57
  Speaker 10: just scared. I don't know, honestly, I'm kind of pretty
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: worked up about the Republican's lame efforts on messaging and
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: a number of other fronts. But the answer is, it's
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: a pretty good bill, and I think people see their
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: tax refunds are up substantially and they begin to look
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: at their take on pay, they're going to be pretty
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: happy with it.
• 30:19
