  Speaker 1: Josh Groban, who is forty five today. He's a baby.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I like that. No, that's all right. I like
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: young people. I guess you know the.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: People the forty exactly. Hey, Jack, here's one hundred and twelve.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We talk a lot about the ladies, about Kelly Clarkson,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: just one of the great voices of our age, Barbara
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: streisand probably the standard by which and maybe in the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: ladies still get the chance to do sort of most
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: of the guy singers. It was Michael Bolton's birthday yesterday,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: one of the great male voices. If I'm myself thinking
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: who the great guy singers are of our age, our era,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know that's anyway.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: There we go, HOI moorgage interest rates down below six
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: percent for the first time since twenty twenty two. Now,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, how does that play into the Trump
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: is screwing up the economy and the affordability crisis? Is
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: real argument? I'm asking for a friend.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I know, well, a friend of mine named Mike Gallagher
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: told me yesterday very smartly, and you're right that there
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: are sort of two categories of economic data. There's the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: stuff that is real but doesn't resonate very much. Wall
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Street does to a degree because a lot of people
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: have four oh one case, but gross domestic product and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: unemployment rate.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: It's more about you and your life and how affordable
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: things are. A mortgage is something, a house is something.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: There are people who have not been buying houses because
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the mortgage rates have been in the sevens and the eighths,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: So this is it would seem like an affordability issue,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: but it's not as in your face and down home
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: as the price of groceries, the price of gas, the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: price of consumables we use every day. So it's a good,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it's a good.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: It's a step in the right direction. How do we
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: feel about zorn sneaking off to DC yesterday and meeting
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: with President Trump and what appeared to be a almost
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: a love fest holding up? Did you see the prop
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that mom Donnie brought for Trump to hold up and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: he happily held it up. Did you see the the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: props that they used? So so Trump is holding up?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Two newspaper headlines from the New York Daily News. The
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: one the famous headline from the Daily News where Gerald
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Ford once said, We're not bailing out New York City,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: so New York, you know, Ford to New York City
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: dropped dead. And then the next headline it had a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: headline that said Trump to New York, Let's build, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: it was all about, you know, building housing and affordable
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: housing and Trump Trump seems to like this kid, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: which scares the heck out of me.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, not me one, But do you not trust him?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Do you think Mom donn trust to Trump? Do you
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I trust Trump?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: No? I try, I don't try. I don't. I don't
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: trust Mom Donnie correct, But do you?
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: But but in a meeting of these two, do you
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: think that Trump would enjoy this close contact with him,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: this ven diagram overlap of their worlds if he didn't
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: think it was a net positive to him. I actually
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: kind of love it. I think it It might help
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie make him look less radical. But I think
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: his daily governance will help confirm that. I think ultimately,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I think it helps it helps President Trump's image as
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: someone who, unlike today's left, is willing to talk with
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: deal with anybody.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think Trump is quite that transactional. I don't
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: think he's thinking, what's the net positive to me? I
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: think he's either I don't I think he's either like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you're either with me or you're against me. If you're
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: with me, great, Kim Jong Unn, be nice to me.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. Uh you know, run, Mom Donnie.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: The definition of transactional, well, what's.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: The net positive? What's the net positive? It's not transactional.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a it's an in the moment, it's
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: an in the moment of motion that Trump. Trump values loyalty,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and he values those kind of relationships with unusual, strange bedfellows.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I think he likes that, but I don't know that
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: he's thinking there's no net what's the net positive to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: a bromance for between Trump and Mom Donnie?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: For Trump, I think it makes it hard for Momdani,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: who is one of the three or four most powerful
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Democrats in America right now, to savage him as so
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: many others will. If there's the basics basis of a relationship,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: there's kind of a Kim John Kim Jong Un parallel.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: There was nothing in terms of daily nuts and bolts,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: tangible improvement from them sort of getting along, except it's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: just better for them to get along.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: It feels better, It feels nicer.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: It feels more constructive, it feels more human, and I thought,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you're probably right, kind of organic optics kind of way.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I just think it's a good thing. I'll take you.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: You're probably right. Meanwhile, we've got the NYPD having to
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: be just completely demoralized this this guy, this twenty seven
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: year old that they arrested for assaulting police officers with
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a big, huge palettes of ice. And incidentally, I saw
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a couple of detectives yesterday confirm what I suspected. A
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: lot of those snowballs that were that were being that
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the police were pelted by were filled with rocks. They
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: put rocks in them, which I oh, I had a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: feeling they did. I mean, there were a number officers
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: got hospitalized for facial lacerations. They were hitting cops in
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the face with snowballs and ice balls. And what does
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Zo Roun the destroyer want to do about it? Nothing?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Kids kids having a snowball fly. Yeah, some kid, twenty
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: seven year old. And the guy that they arrested, the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: one guy they arrested had been arrested for robbery three
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, which you know, a lot of people predicted
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: that these are not innocent little kids frolicking in the snow.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Is that the guy they let go?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: They let him go yesterday. The Alvin Bragg's office refused
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to charge him with assault, gave him a misdemeanor of
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: some kind. You know, I wish the NYPD would just
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: go on strike for a week, I really do. I
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: wish they'd walk off, end mass and let these people
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: fend for themselves and find out what find out what
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: it is that that mom Donnie really wants to deliver.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: You can't do that, Yes, you kids, It's fun to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: think about it all. They do it all the time,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I know, and I hate it. I hate I hate
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: when public employees of any type walk off the job.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: They probably have they probably haven't no strike clause as.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I don't hate this. I don't hate this, I don't
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: blue flu anyone. Let them figure it out for a while.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's brutal, brutal. Hey, let's get
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: off politics for a moment. Way moo is coming has
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: come to Dallas. Yes, I'm so excited about this. They're
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: there right, four cities, four cities, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and Orlando. I know they're testing Tampa because I keep
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: seeing people behind the wheel. They do these you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: they do these human tests. I had somebody yesterday tell
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: me they went for a Waimo taxi ride in Phoenix
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the first time. Said it was absolute game changer. It's
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: life all trying. And I know you feel that way too.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's a I'm having some fun here with
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: my abject terror at getting into a car with no driver.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But I think the geek in me loves it, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'll do it. And you know, well we'll tape it well,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: but well video up of it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Well, the driverless car is a thing that is now here.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And of course Elon and Tesla it keeps perfecting it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: And you know, I keep hinting about this. I finally
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: asked my kid, can I just share why I'm driving
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: a Tesla often? And it's it's one of my son's kid,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: one of my son's cars. One of my son has
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: a Tesla, and so when he visits or whatever, I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: spend time with him, I drive his car a lot,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: and he's got full service driving on it. Mark, it is.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: It is the most amazing experience. It's not Mark, I'm
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: telling you, it's not what you think. It is. I mean,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: it's not. It's not. Let me tell you why. I mean,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: once you do it. First of all, you are paying attention,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: You're not just you're not just reading a book. I
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: keep telling you that. But there's something about not steering,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: not breaking, not accelerating, and mark they've made Elon's made
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: it so incredible that it's intuitive and incidentally, statistically they
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: say seventy percent safer than a human drive.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It has to be because because while there are things
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: that every once in a while you'll hear a story
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and I will, Lord knows, i'll highlight them of where
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the driverless car just couldn't navigate, the traffic cop directing
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you through, or some momentary hazard, but over the extent
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of time and you know, infinite universe, obviously, the robocar
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: is going to be safer than anything per capita per hour,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: than anything driven by a human. I totally get it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a remarkable thing. And what I didn't realize,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you know, Elon's always posted stuff about it, saying, hey,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: try FSD, try FSD go to full service drive for
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: full service full service driving, and and and what he
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: keeps saying is it actually makes the drive much more relaxing.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: And you know what, he's right.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Well, he's a very good friend of mine who works
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: in this building, who got a big old self driving
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: suv and and has to drive do sothing, has to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: drive to a neighboring state, gets in, hits the button
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and just kind of watch it. And he says, yes,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you do have to pay attention. You can't watch a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: movie or read a book, which led me at first
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to ignorantly say, then, what's the point if you're not
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: just an idle passenger. The point is that you still
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: got to kind of pay attention. But by the time
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you've gone one hundred four hundred seven hundred miles, you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: are far less fatigued than you otherwise would be. Having
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I constantly ride the pedals, constantly pay attention at what
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to do next. It's a refreshing experience. And I know
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that the statistically, I know exactly what we said is
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: all true. I just know that the minute I get
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: into one, it's going off a bridge at the high
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: five and I'm dead. I just know I know this,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: So just it'll be the lat you know, so, and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: let me share it, and I no, no, let me
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: confirm it's not flawless because I happened.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I happen to have it here with me. He's here
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: because we're going to go. We're all going to trundle
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: off to Disney for the weekend and I'll drive from
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Tampa to Orlando and not touch the brake, the gas,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the stream wheel. One time, yesterday, I was full service
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: driving and it went off to the side of the
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: road and the were some yellow bear you know, or
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: those orange safety barrels, and that were blocking off the lane. Well, no,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: it went to the wrong side like dead you had me.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I was ready to do this and now it'll no,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: it'll make a mistake. But but look, as soon as
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: it did it, I put the brake on and then
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I navigated it out of it. And so it's not
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent, but it's ninety eight.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Your direction, by your direction, you told me to do this.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I took notes, and here we are. This'll take about
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: sixty seconds because I started to get instant replies from
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: people when you said and famous commentator Kennedy of MTV
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and now Fox fame, said James Vanderbeek. Yes, er actors
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: who have made some money and have now sadly died.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: What's with the go fundmes for these people of privilege
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and wealth? Story after story after story. In Eric Dane's case,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: with the als kind of cramps your earning ability. In
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the case of James Vanderbeek, what had he really done
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that made a lot of money recently? He had six
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: kids and in both of their cases huge, huge healthcare expense.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: So just because you were making truckloads of money back
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: in the day doesn't mean you have it now. And
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the James Vanderbeek and Eric Dane gofundmes are not only
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: doing quite well, but seem to have an underpinning that
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: at least I can understand. How about you.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: We did it as a talk topic yesterday and I
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: after walking through it with callers and the audience, I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: really I'm on the side of saying this is a
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: reflection of the goodness of the heart of Americans. There's
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: nothing wrong with it. And if it's a stranger, so
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: what if you want to if you want to support
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: a movie stars family, so what, you've got a good heart.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: People are cynical. Kennedy was very and she's cynical anyway.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, I like her, but she's she's always questioning
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: things like this, and she made a big deal about
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: come on, I'm not going to give a give a dime,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: not a farthing to these people. They make so much money,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: bra brah brah, and good why because they're rich and famous.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: And then she compared it to the Nancy Guthrie thing,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: which in a way is right. She said, think about
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the people who have missing loved ones in Arizona who
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: have to wait in line to get a you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: a meeting with a cop. But Nancy Guthrie has got all.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: And incidentally, I just got a text from Tom Tradup,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: who is still on a high from going to the
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: State of the Union. Oh my gosh, I had a seat.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I sat there with eyes, sat next to Greg Abbitt
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: was right over there. And good Tom has never gotten
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a free trip or a junket that he hasn't fallen
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: in love with. I'm he is the typical radio guy.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: You think a w KRP in Cincinnati and herb tarlic
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: radio folks just crave free stuff. And I look as
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: all the stuff, oh free stuff, trips, junkets, t shirts, caps,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: If it's free, it's for me. So anyway, Tom had
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: a great time, and he had a blast uh and
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and had a great view and shared yesterday on the
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: show some of his insights with the goofy squad screaming
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: and cursing and spitting and all that go ahead.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Finished.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: But but he texted this morning, Oh, all of a
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: sudden nancy three. Now it's over. It's just done. They've
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: released the house back to the family. Now they're talking
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: about Savannah going back to work to the Today Show.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: What I meant, I got a hunch that they're never
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: going to find this poor one.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: There is that distinct possibility.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: And I just but I know that that I will.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Spend a part of my heart space and brain space
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and prayer space hoping that that story works out well.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Speaking of things working out well, we sometimes jump too
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: early and go op games. Just speaking of game changer,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like this, coming off the Olympics and having
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the politicization of our hockey victory and the state of
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the Union, I feel like we've just come through a
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: really important week, don't you. I think this is something
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you've already seen. Some of the political ads here are
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Democrats refusing to stand up for actual Americans. When Trump
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: delivered that masterful moment of if you agree with this sentence,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: stand up. The job of the American and the government
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: is to protect the American people and not illegal aliens.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: That only the Republicans stood up.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: That is not nothing, That is not a small moment,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that is completely usable. I feel like it's been a
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: really important week where these people have shown us who
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: they are.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Totally agree, it's been a good week for us. The
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: State of the Union was I think a real pivot here.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: And it's the start of the midterm season. Look, I
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: am so fascinated by Texas. I can't wait to settle
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: in and listen to your interview with John Cornyan. Here
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: we go because and then the whole all of it
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: in Jasmine Crockett, I mean, we want her to win
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the primary, right.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I guess I think you know what, you don't know.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Everybody's walking around saying, well, Cornyan's definitely a stronger general
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: election candidate. He might be, but there's copactions of conservative
• 14:36
