  Speaker 1: Queen's Jacob. How you doing?
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, good Morney, how are you good? I every time
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: I moved in New York City, every apartment I got,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I got like he's in five and ten voter stuff
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: for the people who used to live there. This year
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: they made a change, but they put.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: A barcode on it. So it used to be if let's.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Say someone wants to vote on someone else's name when
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: he used to be the paper map, that you would
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: come there and they would they would look up your
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: name in a book. You know, you have to rememorize
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: the name now as the barcode, So they send out
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: before election. They actually send up this booklet with a barcode,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: and you come there and they scan it and write
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: away the name and the address all populated. So you
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: have now a situation where we have millions of these
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: booklets being mailed there before elections, and the people don't
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: even there, and anybody can just go with all these
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: bookloaks and vote. You don't even need to memorize the
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: name or anything.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know. We have the world's sloppiest devoting
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: system here in New York City, deliberately for a lot
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of reasons. It allows for a lot of shenanigans to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: go on. Let's go to Mike and Saint James. Mike,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: how you doing good?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Walk? Are you? Uh? When they want to terminate a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: late night comedian host, don't they have to worry about
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: paying him full length of his contract?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Kimmel's contract is just about up. They
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: did this with Colbert. His contract still goes till May,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: so you got to pay off the last year. But
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: they don't mind doing that. You can pay him off.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But if he's causing you problems, if he's costing you
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: trouble with the FCC, if he's causing you trouble with sponsors, boycotts,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it's worth paying the guy off. Look at Megan Kelly.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: How many times has she been paid off to leave early?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I think she's made a total of thirty millions getting
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: paid off by various networks to leave. It's a good
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: business to be getting paid to leave. Let's go to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. Yes, Mike, isn't it a little bit
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: ironic that Jeffrey Epstein was a resident of the Virgin Islands.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Uh, well, he had an island that he bought somewhere,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: And you've got to be really a bad guy if
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you need to do it on an island, a private island.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: So, you know, I wanted to say that I have
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: a friend and I hear pundits say that, you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: why does Trump have to fight these personal battles, you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: with Jimmy Kimmel or Montana whoever. And it's like, because
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: he's the only one who does it. His party doesn't
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: defend him the way the Democrat parties would defend any
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Democrat Dopey Jasmine Crockett, you know the one, you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the ya you know. So it's like he's a it's
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: a one man war against his vast machine.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, now that's a good question. People ask all
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the time, why does he just lets go? They would
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: like every president to act like George W. Bush, who
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: was the same problem. The media went after him, fake news,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: they hated him, and he was always very dignified and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: formal and didn't respond. Yeah, wait to get him exactly,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: so thanks for calling. You know, I don't know. Most
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of us can't behave like Trump. You just wouldn't do it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: It's too much. Who could who has the energy or
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the thick skin to beat be like him all day
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and night. But that's the way he is. And again
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it was George W. Bush. And every comedian's attacking you,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and they're calling you dumb, and they're calling you a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: war criminal. You know, you just act dignified, very polite,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: very formal. But that's not Trump. Trump believes punchback. Every
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: time anybody comes out, you just punch whatever they do,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: punch back twice as hard. Do it constantly. Seems like
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of effort and energy, and it seems to us,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: like you said, who could behave like that? But but
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: look at Trump. The guy goes into real estate, becomes
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the most famous real estate developer in the world. He's
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a total amateur. When he goes into television, two minutes later,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: he's got the number one show in television. He's a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: total amateur. Goes into politics. How many times you've seen
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: an amateur try to run for governor, try to run
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: for mayor, or try to run for congress. Total amateur.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: They don't usually get anywhere. Trump total amateur. First time
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: he runs, He's president of the United States. Just like
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that gets real. So and look at go back to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: last year. The guy's indicted in four different cities, he's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: convicted of six thousand felonies, he's shot at, and despite
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: all that, he wins again he's president. So that whole
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Trump method, that hold Trump behavior. Obviously it works. Obviously
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you got to have the talent for it and the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: thick skin for it. But he's made it work. Hey,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: when we come back, the great economist Steve Moore will
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: give us the truth about the affordability crisis and all that,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and about Mom Donnie and his way of trying to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: fix the affordability crisis how bad it is. We'll get
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to that next on seven to ten w Owar
