  Speaker 4: Mark.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: A day or two ago, I was watching Fox News
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Channel and one of the commentators gave the impression that
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Iran is about a week or two away from actually
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: becoming a nuclear power. And my question, is there any
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: timeline to that fact?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, good question, Dave. That was actually negotiator Steve
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Whitkoff meeting with the Iranians warning the world.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: They've been enriching well beyond the number that you need
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: for civil nuclear it's it's up to sixty percent. They're
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: probably a week away from having industrial, industrial grade bomb
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: making material and that's well scary stuff.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Now again, that's material that the nuclear plants and all
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: that are gone. But that's scary stuff, and I think
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the President will address that tonight in tonight's speech. Let's
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing, good.
• 1:18

• 1:26
  Speaker 2: have this year.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I'm not being sarcastic.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna believe me. I'm not told about that either,
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: or the power outages.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Every time you know about snow, it just melts and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: goes away. It doesn't knock your house exactly like those.
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: That's for sure.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: You said it. Yeah, but you know it was funny
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: because you know Trump is getting excoriated now for joking
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: with the men's hockey team. You know, these are the
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: same people who pride themselves on having these great senses
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: of humor and being open minded and so forth, and
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: they can't take a joke. None of them can take
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: They all have glass jaws when it comes to.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Nobody has less of a sense of humor than Democrats.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: It's like Kimmel, Colbert, no sense of humor whatsoever. Let's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: go to Let's go to Lorraine in Long Island. Lorraine,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: I'm fine, Thank you, good morning, Mark, thank you for
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: taking my call.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, where are you in Long Island?
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: I'm in Marich's Day.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Oh you got a lot of snow there south shore right.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Oh, yes, quite a bit, quite a bit much out now, thanks,
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: thanks for that. Just a quick question. There doesn't seem
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: to be much reporting on the DHS shut shutdown regarding
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: t s A at the airports. And I'm planning a
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: trip to Florida in March, and what do you think
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: is going to happen with that? Will it be over
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: by then or what's going on there?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: That should be okay? But you may not have the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: what do you call it the pre check you know? Yes,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: do you have that where you don't wait in the line, Yes,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I do. You might get effect that they might have
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to shut that down, but god, well it's this could
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: change at any moment. You got you got a week
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: or two, so hopefully it gets settled. A good question. Uh,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you know they're not funded the Department of Homeland Security.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: This is their new thing. Instead of defund the police,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: defund Department Homeland Security. But that includes a secret service
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: in there. FEMA is in that department and the TSA,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: so they're working right now. There's enough money to keep
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: paying them, but it could run out and they might
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: have to cancel that TSA pre check stuff. But also
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: believe or not. If you're in Congress, you get a
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: special escort that walks you past the line. So they
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: have announced they have to cancel that special escort program
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: due to a manpower shortage there. But that's just to
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: make the make the congressmen and women feel the pain
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of this. Let's go to John in Norwalk, Connecticut. Hey, John, Hi,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: how are you good.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I'm just curious Mark under report.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: That the.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Kid who shot the the insurances that get over the back.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: I'm told that they the judge's taking the death penalty
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: off the table.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: How's it possible, Well, it looks like they may have
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: They may lose the charge. It has a death penalty,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: it's possible he could.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: And also that the gun was not admitted as eviden.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Well, this hasn't been settled yet, but I remember the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: good news that they're arguing that when he was arrested
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: in the something was illegal in the arrest. But the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: good news is he shot him right outside our window,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: right over there on the corner. And yeah, it's right
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: outside the window. The good news is every into Manhattan
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: has surveillance video cameras, so you can watch him shoot
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the guy. You can see the video. There's no way,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: no way, he doesn't get convicted. Let's go to Dan
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and Queen's Dan. How you doing.

  Speaker 4: Hi? You know, for years the Democrats have been putting
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: out propaganda about global warming and the Earth is warming.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: So now they're not prepared when we have this huge
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: blizzards and they're all struck by something like this that
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: could happen.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you got to remember everything they told you it
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: turned out to be false. If you go get the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth from twenty years ago,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: watch it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Every single thing he predicted was not only false, the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: exact opposite happened. You know. He said, well there are
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: only seven thousand polar bears, there won't be any in
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: ten years. Well, there's more polar bears than ever this
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: twenty thousand. Remember we said the glacier will recede and
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: be gone. The glaciers bigger than ever. Everything he said,

• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to that. But when we come back, John Carney, who's
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: this guy is the smartest, brightest business reporter in the world.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: He can explain the tariffs better than anybody, and it's

  Speaker 2: obviously going to be a big topic. The tariffs are
