- 0:00Speaker 1: He's now more marks alone on seventen.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Wr Hey, I got a lot to get to this hour.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Two of the healthiest guys I know, Donald Trump Warren
- 0:15Speaker 2: Buffett Trump almost eighty works day and night. You've seen
- 0:18Speaker 2: them in action. Nobody has more energy. He could be
- 0:21Speaker 2: in three four states in one day. He could just
- 0:24Speaker 2: go NonStop all day and night. This is at seventy nine,
- 0:27Speaker 2: eighty years old. And what does he eat all day? Junk?
- 0:31Speaker 2: He eats McDonald's. He eats cheeseburgers, he eats, drinks those milkshakes.
- 0:35Speaker 2: He eats nothing but junk all day now. Warren Buffett
- 0:40Speaker 2: ninety three, ninety four years old. This guy does not
- 0:43Speaker 2: eat anything except McDonald's. He said, breakfast at McDonald's, sausage
- 0:48Speaker 2: and egg sandwich from McDonald's every day of his life.
- 0:54Speaker 2: He eats McDonald's at night, or a steak. He eats
- 0:57Speaker 2: a lot of steak. He eats candy, sees candy which
- 1:01Speaker 2: is incredible candy. He bought the company years ago. Eats
- 1:05Speaker 2: dairy queen all the time. He bought the company years ago,
- 1:09Speaker 2: has peanut brittle for lunch, eats nothing but junk food.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Has the diet of a ten year old eats junk
- 1:16Speaker 2: day and night. He's ninety three, healthy as can be.
- 1:19Speaker 2: How does he do it well? One thing Buffett always says,
- 1:23Speaker 2: he gets eight hours of sleep every night, non negotiable.
- 1:26Speaker 2: He said, you can worry about diet, exercise, all that,
- 1:28Speaker 2: but sleep eight solid hours of good sleep every night
- 1:32Speaker 2: more important for your health than anything else. He reads,
- 1:36Speaker 2: he works twelve hours a day. He has just drinks
- 1:39Speaker 2: diet coke like Trump, just drinks coke day and night.
- 1:43Speaker 2: That's all. He lives on his coke, which is a
- 1:45Speaker 2: lot of sugar and all that stuff. But he said
- 1:48Speaker 2: what keeps him young, And it's the same thing with Trump.
- 1:50Speaker 2: He loves his work, lives with like childlike joy, no stress.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Both these guys have tremendous stress, but to them it's
- 1:59Speaker 2: not They love what they're doing, so it's not stress.
- 2:02Speaker 2: You know, you go out and buy a billion, four
- 2:05Speaker 2: billion dollars worth of a stock. There was a little
- 2:07Speaker 2: stress in that, but they don't feel it now. The
- 2:10Speaker 2: only difference with Trump, he doesn't sleep eight hours a night.
- 2:12Speaker 3: He doesn't.
- 2:13Speaker 2: But and these this guy's as healthy as can be
- 2:16Speaker 2: at that age, So you can worry about diet and
- 2:19Speaker 2: all that stuff, but I don't know a lot of
- 2:22Speaker 2: it is at geneticut. Donald Trump made a big speech
- 2:25Speaker 2: for McDonald's executives yesterday. Speaking to McDonald's, he pointed out
- 2:29Speaker 2: he was the only fry cook ever in McDonald's history
- 2:32Speaker 2: to become president of the United States. He was the
- 2:35Speaker 2: fry cook there for about a half hour. But he
- 2:37Speaker 2: was speaking at McDonald's.
- 2:38Speaker 4: While other politicians fly around on campaign planes stocked with
- 2:42Speaker 4: expensive catering. On Trump Force one prior to ascending to
- 2:47Speaker 4: Air Force one, which is quite a nice plane. Also,
- 2:50Speaker 4: we served only McDonald's almost every time. On occasion we
- 2:54Speaker 4: couldn't find one, which is pretty hard to believe we'd
- 2:57Speaker 4: go another route, but we really did. You fed us
- 3:00Speaker 4: very well, and I even got Bobby Kennedy to eat
- 3:02Speaker 4: a big mac.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Well, don't feel guilty if you're eating the McDonald's. These
- 3:07Speaker 2: two guys as healthy as anybody, and that's all they eat.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Trump went on to talk about the you know this
- 3:14Speaker 2: big word, affordability, the crisis. That's a crisis. You know,
- 3:18Speaker 2: Biden had inflation of nine percent, Nobody mentioned it. Trump
- 3:21Speaker 2: gets it down to two point five percent. It's a crisis.
- 3:24Speaker 2: All of a sudden but Democrats won't let up.
- 3:27Speaker 4: Nobody has done what we've done in terms of pricing.
- 3:31Speaker 4: We took over a mess. We have the highest think
- 3:34Speaker 4: of it, the highest inflation in the history of our country.
- 3:36Speaker 4: They say, forty eight years. It was the history of
- 3:39Speaker 4: our country. And now we have normal inflation. We're going
- 3:42Speaker 4: to get it a little bit lower. Frankly, but we
- 3:45Speaker 4: have normal. We've normalized it. We have it down to
- 3:48Speaker 4: a low level. But we're going to get it a
- 3:49Speaker 4: little bit lower. We want perfection.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, the cost of Thanksgiving, they always bring that
- 3:54Speaker 2: up this time of year. Walmart did that study.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Walmart came up last week and they announced that Thanksgiving
- 4:00Speaker 4: this year's twenty five percent less. All of the accoutrements
- 4:04Speaker 4: that Thanksgiving is twenty five percent less than was last
- 4:07Speaker 4: year under sleepy Joe Biden.
- 4:09Speaker 2: So now Democrats are arguing about that little Walmart's thing there.
- 4:17Speaker 2: They said that they switched the Thanksgiving dinner, they switched
- 4:20Speaker 2: certain things to generic versions, they had less items in
- 4:24Speaker 2: the thanks Now it's still I trust Walmart more than
- 4:27Speaker 2: I trust these crazy democrats. Scott Bessett, the Treasury secretary.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Because economic damage is unacceptable. They call it self harm.
- 4:38Speaker 1: They were willing to harm the economy of the United
- 4:41Speaker 1: States to benefit a party and chaos.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Yeah, now what he's talking about is the shutdown. You
- 4:48Speaker 2: could say, what did they accomplish with the shutdown? They
- 4:50Speaker 2: got nothing for it. They can find a cave. They
- 4:52Speaker 2: got nothing. Well, some people think the master plan was
- 4:56Speaker 2: to screw up the fourth quarter. We're in the fourth
- 5:00Speaker 2: quarter and when the economic fourth quarter results come in,
- 5:03Speaker 2: they'll be a little less because of the shutdown. You
- 5:06Speaker 2: had disruption for a month or so, total disruption. And
- 5:12Speaker 2: they're worried that Democrats might try to do this every
- 5:16Speaker 2: quarter because you'll get the you know, if you show
- 5:18Speaker 2: four percent growth, that looks bad if you do the
- 5:20Speaker 2: shutdown and maybe you knock it down to three percent growth.
- 5:23Speaker 2: So they're worried they might try a shutdown every quarter
- 5:27Speaker 2: just to get the numbers down. That would be a
- 5:29Speaker 2: frightening thing. Mom Donnie takes over in I don't mean
- 5:36Speaker 2: it's scary you, but it's January first, it's like six
- 5:38Speaker 2: weeks from now, Mom Donnie takes over. He'll meet with
- 5:42Speaker 2: Trump before that. Hopefully Trump will get through to him
- 5:45Speaker 2: on some level. Mom Donnie talked about their big meetings.
- 5:48Speaker 3: The President ran a campaign where he spoke about he
- 5:52Speaker 3: promised to deliver cheaper groceries and promise to reduce the
- 5:54Speaker 3: cost of living. We are seeing his actions and out
- 5:57Speaker 3: of his administration of Washington leading to the exact opposite effect.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Forty or person, I will go to make the case
- 6:04Speaker 3: to the President and to anyone, frankly, that these are
- 6:07Speaker 3: the kinds of things we need to change.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Yeah, well, actually yeah. Trump has a track record of
- 6:11Speaker 2: getting prices down. He's got the price of oil down,
- 6:13Speaker 2: He's got the price of many groceries down. He's got inflation,
- 6:16Speaker 2: which hit nine percent under Biden down to two point
- 6:19Speaker 2: five percent. Biden's average inflation over the four years was
- 6:23Speaker 2: five percent. So Trump has cut it in half already,
- 6:27Speaker 2: and it'll go lower next year. You know, you can't
- 6:29Speaker 2: expect him to fix the whole thing in nine months,
- 6:32Speaker 2: ten months, whatever it is. It's going to take a year,
- 6:34Speaker 2: a year and a half to get it really really moving.
- 6:38Speaker 2: But mom, Donnie has no trackord of getting anything done. Now.
- 6:42Speaker 2: This meeting will be interesting. Trump is very good when
- 6:45Speaker 2: he's meeting a peer. You know, when an older CEO,
- 6:49Speaker 2: a guy who's been in business for many years Trump,
- 6:52Speaker 2: you know, can negotiate with a guy like that. I
- 6:53Speaker 2: don't know how good he is with a young a junior.
- 6:57Speaker 2: I was gonna say a junior executive, but it has
- 7:00Speaker 2: never been an executive, a thirty four year old who's
- 7:02Speaker 2: never had a job, a thirty four year old, totally
- 7:05Speaker 2: inexperienced guy. It's hard to negotiate with a guy like that. Now,
- 7:13Speaker 2: a lot of the stuff he does when you go
- 7:15Speaker 2: to see him might not work on Mom, Donnie, Mom, Donnie,
- 7:18Speaker 2: the crazy young socialist. You know, whenever you go to
- 7:20Speaker 2: see Trump, he shows you around. He shows you all
- 7:22Speaker 2: these fancy things. He shows you all these beautiful That's
- 7:25Speaker 2: one reason he put all that stuff in the oval office.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Whenever you come to see him, he likes to walk
- 7:29Speaker 2: you around and show you things. You know, he had
- 7:31Speaker 2: this actual copy of the Constitution on the wall and
- 7:35Speaker 2: he opens the curtain shows it to you. Or even
- 7:37Speaker 2: those paintings are those things on the desk, They're very
- 7:40Speaker 2: rare historical thing. So he likes to show you stuff.
- 7:42Speaker 2: And that's how he starts every meeting. You know, it's
- 7:45Speaker 2: a half hour of show and tell with that stuff.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I don't know if Mom Donnie. You know, he's not
- 7:52Speaker 2: exactly the most lover. He's not a great lover of
- 7:56Speaker 2: American history. I don't know if this stuff will resonate
- 7:58Speaker 2: with him. Adam's already squabbling with Mom Donnie about this
- 8:04Speaker 2: and that.
- 8:04Speaker 5: I think that when you talk about not doing business
- 8:08Speaker 5: with Israel, not willing to acknowledge that you're going to
- 8:11Speaker 5: march in israeli d A parade, not being willing to
- 8:14Speaker 5: state you're going to come and visit Israel in other countries,
- 8:18Speaker 5: it sends the wrong message and he has to define that.
- 8:22Speaker 5: But I know those who are part of the DSA
- 8:25Speaker 5: and those who are marched in our streets saying horrific things,
- 8:28Speaker 5: that is a clear sign of anti Semitism to me.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big problem with Mom, Donnie. There's no
- 8:34Speaker 2: arguing that one. But Eric Adams is in Israel as
- 8:37Speaker 2: we speak. He toured the tunnels where the hostages were
- 8:42Speaker 2: yesterday in Israel, making friends there, making deals. Probably there's
- 8:47Speaker 2: a lot of deals to be made there. He could
- 8:50Speaker 2: be useful in some ways, I guess. But this is
- 8:56Speaker 2: he's not a great lover of history and historical sites.
- 8:58Speaker 2: He's a lover of and dealing and that's one reason
- 9:03Speaker 2: I think he's over there. He's away. You know, this
- 9:06Speaker 2: is his final six weeks in office. You'd think you'd
- 9:09Speaker 2: be here doing stuff, but he's basically it sounds like
- 9:12Speaker 2: a vacation. But after Israel tomorrow, next stop, who's Bekistan? Now?
- 9:18Speaker 2: Either he's got the world's worst travel agent, Who's Bekistan?
- 9:23Speaker 2: Or more deals to be made over there wheeling and dealing,
- 9:27Speaker 2: or is what does Curtis call it? Whining, dining and
- 9:30Speaker 2: pocket lining something going on. You know, Adams will need
- 9:34Speaker 2: to make a lot of money when he leaves, and
- 9:36Speaker 2: you can do that. As an ex mayor. You can
- 9:41Speaker 2: become very valuable to certain interest groups who will pay
- 9:45Speaker 2: you to represent them in the city. You know, you
- 9:47Speaker 2: still know a lot of people in government. You can
- 9:48Speaker 2: make a lot of phone calls. You can be their
- 9:50Speaker 2: unofficial lobbyist. So imagine that's what Adams is doing over there.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Epstein files no vote yet, We'll see what happens. At
- 9:59Speaker 2: some point they'll be released. The Democrats, I was gonna say,
- 10:03Speaker 2: they're gonna have to accept it, but they won't. But
- 10:05Speaker 2: at some point they're gonna have to accept that there
- 10:07Speaker 2: is no Trump scandal. They keep looking into the Trump
- 10:12Speaker 2: thinking there's some scandal they'll find that would bring him down.
- 10:15Speaker 2: There is no scandal nothing. There was no mortgage fraud,
- 10:20Speaker 2: there was no any of this, There was nothing. There's
- 10:23Speaker 2: no scandal anywhere. He's the most investigated man in the
- 10:26Speaker 2: history of the world, and nobody has found a damn thing.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Now you might say, well, he's convicted on seven hundred
- 10:33Speaker 2: different convictions. None of them are real. They're all getting
- 10:35Speaker 2: tossed out one by one. That whole Letitia James case
- 10:39Speaker 2: is slowly but surely getting tossed out. They keep delaying
- 10:42Speaker 2: the appeals courts because they know it's going to get
- 10:43Speaker 2: tossed out. The Alvin braggcase totally going to get tossed out.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Nothing there. Our greatest legal scholarship said, they still can't
- 10:53Speaker 2: even figure out what the charge is. The Egen Carrol case,
- 10:58Speaker 2: that's a conviction, but nobody in their right mind believes
- 11:01Speaker 2: that story from this woman who can't even tell you
- 11:04Speaker 2: what year it was when it happened. What was the
- 11:08Speaker 2: other case, Oh, Georgia, they're still proceeding with that. Fannie
- 11:12Speaker 2: Willis has been removed from the case, but nobody's taking
- 11:15Speaker 2: that one too. Seriously. So there's no scandal. Yeah, the
- 11:18Speaker 2: Stormy Daniels. Maybe maybe it's true he slept with the
- 11:21Speaker 2: with the porn star strip or whatever she was. Oh listen,
- 11:26Speaker 2: if you're going to throw people out because they cheated
- 11:28Speaker 2: on their wife, you'd lose everybody in Congress, you'd lose
- 11:31Speaker 2: half the presidents. That's everybody in Washington, DC. So there
- 11:35Speaker 2: is no scandal. They keep hunting for this, thinking there's
- 11:39Speaker 2: something like a Ralph Cramton. Aha, you're gonna show people
- 11:44Speaker 2: and then they'll turn on Trump. You're not going to
- 11:46Speaker 2: find it. If there's a case to be made against Trump,
- 11:49Speaker 2: it's not with some scandal they try. They're gonna try Epstein,
- 11:53Speaker 2: and that's going to be a massive failure for Democrats.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Then they'll go I guess when that fails, they'll to
- 12:00Speaker 2: Gallaine Maxwell. The demand to know why she got transferred
- 12:03Speaker 2: to a nice, cushy prison. Well, if you talk to
- 12:08Speaker 2: people in the prosecuting or attorney business, they'll tell you,
- 12:13Speaker 2: as a first time offender for a nonviolent crime, she
- 12:16Speaker 2: never should have been in the other prison, the extremely
- 12:18Speaker 2: bad violent prison. First time non violent offenders don't go there.
- 12:23Speaker 2: The type of prison she's in now is where you
- 12:24Speaker 2: would normally get sent so they simply corrected the extremism
- 12:31Speaker 2: of that court. Also, a lot of experts will tell
- 12:34Speaker 2: you she was over sentenced. It's not supposed to be
- 12:36Speaker 2: seventeen years, supposed to be more like seven years for
- 12:40Speaker 2: what she did. So at some point they'll have to
- 12:42Speaker 2: just give up on that, but they never will. The
- 12:45Speaker 2: other question you got to remember is why didn't Biden
- 12:49Speaker 2: release these files. Biden had the Epstein files and he
- 12:54Speaker 2: went through them. His Justice department went through them for
- 12:56Speaker 2: four years. They never found anything on Trump they could use.
- 13:00Speaker 2: They never released the files. Now, some and if you
- 13:02Speaker 2: ask people in the Biden misteries, well why didn't you
- 13:04Speaker 2: release the files, they'll tell you that while we were
- 13:07Speaker 2: still investigating Gallaine Maxwell. Yeah, but that was year one.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Then she got convicted. Well, we thought there would be
- 13:14Speaker 2: appeals and if it's an appeal, we can't release the file. Okay,
- 13:18Speaker 2: that's year two three. Why didn't you, Well, there might
- 13:21Speaker 2: have been ongoing adjacent investigations. We didn't want to come.
- 13:27Speaker 2: It doesn't it doesn't pass the smell test those explanations.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Let me check and see if Twitter is back. There
- 13:33Speaker 2: was a big internet outage. Oh yeah, it looks like
- 13:35Speaker 2: it's back. The cloud that they used. Cloud Fare went
- 13:41Speaker 2: out this morning. So if your Twitter wasn't working or
- 13:43Speaker 2: some of your websites, there was a huge internet outage
- 13:46Speaker 2: this morning. That's the reason. Hey, yeah, next week is Thanksgiving.
- 13:50Speaker 2: It's the week before Thanksgiving. I'm starting to hear that
- 13:52Speaker 2: Christmas music everywhere. I got to go down the Hall
- 13:56Speaker 2: of the LIGHTFM. Are they playing Christmas music yet?
- 13:59Speaker 4: Oh?
- 13:59Speaker 2: It starts for the Christmas music right. Hey, who might argue?
- 14:04Speaker 2: It gets enormous, enormous ratings, unbelievable ratings. It's basically one
- 14:10Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five songs. There's one hundred and twenty
- 14:13Speaker 2: five big Christmas hits. They just rotate them over and
- 14:16Speaker 2: over again for a month and a half. But it
- 14:18Speaker 2: does very very well. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
