  Speaker 1: It's a great book. You'll learn a lot. And then
• 0:17

• 0:32
  Speaker 1: com and sign up. Steve Moore, how you doing.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I'm doing well, Mark, and I think we're going to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you know, tomorrow morning we get a new jobs report,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: and I think all indications are we're to give a
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: pretty healthy number for employment. Businesses are hiring again. And
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: you know, if you look over the last couple of weeks,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: almost all of the economic news has been positive. You're
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: seeing a lot of employment, you're seeing a lot of
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: investment by businesses. We saw a big manufacturing report that
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Larry Cobbo was talking about on the show last night.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: So it's even despite the fact that we're paying a
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: lot for energy and that's been a real downer for
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the economy. The resilience and durability of this economy is incredible,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and I think part of that is the big beautiful
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: bill that every Democrat voted against.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, although I'm watching MSNBC Morning Shoe this morning and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: they're talking about and he said, as Americans struggled to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: pay their bills in this troubling economy. Now Democrats run
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: around repeating that.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: What I mean, Look, everybody's mad about grocery prices, everybody's
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: angry about gas prices. Of course, I mean those are
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: up a lot. And you know we've tried to buy
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: a Hamburger lately, or of stake. You know, those costs
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: are up a lot. But the economy, despite the those
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: higher prices, you know, are is really moving ahead. For it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: By the way, we have all time highs on the
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: stock market.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I know somebody say, well, that's only for rich people.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: No it's not. I mean virtually every middle class worker
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: has there all no retirement savings in the stock market.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: So when that does better, America does better, and workers
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: do better. So I see an economy that is it
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: is getting better every week. And if you know, if
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I say this every week, on your show. If we
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: can get this situation in the least settled, I think
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you're going to see one of those great economic booms.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, if I had a restaurant and all of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a sudden, all my customers were eating a restaurant across
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the street, they left me and they're all leading over there.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I go over there and I see what are they
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: doing that? How come states don't do this when companies leave,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: they're all going to Texas. They're all going to Florida.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You just had another one to leave and go to Texas.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Why don't they try to do what Texas does? Steve Moore,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: do we lose you? Did we lose them? Oh, we'll
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: call you back. Uh, no, he's gone. What do we
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: have them back? Let me see. Yeah. The big thing
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: is Samsung just announced they're pulling out of New Jersey.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: We have Steve Moore back. No, well he was here
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: for a minute, which is good. Yeah. Samsung, major business
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that was operating in New Jersey, huge footprint in New Jersey,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: announces they're leaving, closing everything down and moving it to Texas.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So you would think if you were a state and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: one by one by one, your biggest taxpayers, and your
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: biggest companies and your biggest employers are leaving you and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: moving to Florida. Many of them now moving to Texas.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: You would think you'd go down there and talk to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: them and see what they're doing. I mean, in any
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: other business, if we were in the let's say you're
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in the radio business, all of a sudden, the other
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: station takes off. They're doing great. You look at what
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: they're doing, but not with pologies. Steve Moore, are you there?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess the goblins didn't want me to talk
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to you. But I was just saying that blue states
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: like New York, New Jersey, California, my home state of Illinois,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: need to be more like Texas and Florida and Utah
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and states that are really booming. And you're seeing more
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and more of these companies moving out of New York
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and New Jersey. You saw Exon, one of our iconic
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: companies in America, moved out of New Jersey into Texas.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And now the latest of Samsung is moving out of
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I think it's.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: New York, New Jersey.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So yeah, why don't these blue states get it? Why
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: don't they change in a way that makes them pro
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: business because you can't have jobs without businesses. Folks.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Also, they claim to love tax revenue, but these are
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: your biggest tax revenue people, the billionaires companies. But what
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: is it about defecats that they never learned They can
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: make the same mistake a billion times and never stop making.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a kind of a war now against wealth.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Did you see your good friend Bernie Sanders says he
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: wants the government to take a fifty percent ownership of
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: all the tech companies in America. Can you imagine Bernie
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Sanders running a company?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a phone made by Bernie Sanders. That's going to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: really You're right?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, look, you have to treat businesses kindly.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And a lot of these politicians they've never run a business.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: They don't know how hard it is to make me
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: a payroll in the employee people and make a product
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: people want. I mean, I hear AOC talking about these big,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: bad businesses and how greedy they are, Like, well, AOC,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: why don't you go out start a business and tell
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: us what you think? How was it? You know, there's
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: so many famous stories of liberals that said, gee, I
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: had no idea until I tried to start a business.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: What effect taxes and regulation have on trying to make
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: a profit. And by the way, profit, folks, is not
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a dirty word. Without profits, we would have no businesses.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and most of these guys, when they get that profit,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: what do they do? They spend it? And businesses spend
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it over and over again. Yeah. So, hey, California, Steve
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Hilton wins the primary practed very well. You think maybe
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: voters are starting to wise up out there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Well, the good news from California. And by the way,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I love California. I love the weather, I love the beaches,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I love the mountains, I love the beautiful women. I mean,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: it's a great state. It's been runned by politicians. But
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: you know they they that election they had on Tuesday
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: was amazing. Mark. There were about five tax hikes that
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: were put on the ballot, you know, for voter approval.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Every one of them got turned down all the way
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: from San Francisco down to San Diego. So when Californians say,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: read my lips, no new taxes, you know there's something
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: going on in America. People feel over taxed. They don't
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: feel like when you've got you know, a trillion dollars
• 6:53
