  Speaker 1: Mark the moons on w o R.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: So let's forget to this hour. We'll get to Mom, Donnie,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: and we'll get to Mikey, Cheryl, we'll get to Milania
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: and a whole lot more. Everybody agrees. It was quite
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: a quite a powerful speech the President made at Davos,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and the big takeaway was he will not use force
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: to acquire Greenland. So but everybody, normal people agree. Powerful speech,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: really explained himself to the world leaders. Now forget the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: forget all these smart people. Let's go to the left
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: wing kooks. What are they gonna say? If you're watching
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: ms whatever the hell it's called. Now, what will they say? Well,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: we let's start with Mediaite. That is a it's a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: good site, but it's a real slanted, biased left wing
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: propaganda site. But it's important because a lot of the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: whole democratic world, all the MSNB whatever is the liberal
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: outlets media. They all watch this media Heite to get
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: their talking points. So they're trying to find something wrong
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: with the President's speech. And the media headline is Trump
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: very awkward, blunder, horrible gaff at Davos. Wow, what could
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: this be? Well, a lot of the speech was about Greenland,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and apparently a couple of times he slipped and said
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Iceland instead of Greenland. Now again it's media. Heite left
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: wings slanted. I don't think anybody would say, wowh my god,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: that's the worst blunder in the history of the world.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: One of the reasons probably got confused. If you watch
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the speech, he was over and over again talking about
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: a Greenland is basically just a thick sheet of ice,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and he said it's not really an island, it's a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: slab of ice. And you know, a lot of people
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: pointed out when they talk about all the minerals that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: are in Greenland, it's really tough to ever even think
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of getting the mat. You got to cut through like
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: one hundred feet of ice to get to them. But
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: he kept saying that, you know, it's just big. It's
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: very important for US militarily, strategically, military base, but otherwise
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: there's really not much you can do with this island.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: It's just again, he kept saying, it's just a slab
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: of ice. It's nothing but just a hunk of ice,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: which is why I probably later slipped and called it Iceland.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: You know, it's very funny if you've ever been there,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Iceland is mostly grass and nice. Greenland is mostly ice
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and no grass. So somebody named the men correctly. Way
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: back when Ushi Vance, that's the wife of Vice President JD.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Vance Is, announced she's pregnant with their fourth child. Now,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of people kind of stunned by that. Wow,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you know, while you're in office, vice president, you're having
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: a child. And I was trying to think back, have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: we ever had anybody in the White House have a
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: child while in the White Yeah? John F. Kennedy JFK.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Jackie had a third child who died after a few days,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: didn't live, but was born, and I think the name
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: was Patrick. Patrick would have been Patrick Kennedy. But JFK
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and Jackie they did have a child born while he
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: was in the White House. And I think there were
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I can't remember who, but like you've got to go
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: back a zillion years, there were vice presidents that had
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: children while in office. You know, Caroline Levitt, the Press secretary,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: who's doing a great job, phenomenal Press secretary, she's also
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: now she's pregnant, which means sometime later this year she'll
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: give birth, and that means she'll have to take a
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: maternity leave of some kind. So they'll have to find
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are deputy press secretaries backups, but they'll
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: have to find a really good backup who may have
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to take over for a month or two for Caroline Levitt. Hey,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you know, you never hear you hear criticism all the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: time of every cabinet secretary. They pick on Rubio, fake News,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: goes after Scott Bessant. They love going after Hexath all
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the time. You know, even the Democrats they keep yelling
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and screaming. Hexa is the most unqualified, most incompetent defense
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: secretary you've ever had. Meantime, in one year, this guy
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: has run the most incredibly complex, sophisticated military operations ever,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: every one of them one thousand percent successful. I mean,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: if you think about it, he probably is now the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: most successful defense secretary in modern times. If you look
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: at the Iraq War under Rumsfeld, maybe it worked, but
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it was kind of bungled up. But if you look
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: at Hexaf, you can't find another defense secretary with a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: track record like Hexath. From the bombing of the Iran
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: nuclear reactors to the capture of Maduro and a million
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: other operations, this guy has run the most successful military
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: operations in modern times, so give him a lot of credit.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: You know who never gets criticized is Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Now why is that? Well, if you actually look into this,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: very quietly, in the last six months, Sean Duffy has
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: done an amazing job beginning to turn around our transportation system.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: You remember when the Trump team came in, there were
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: all these airport disasters, you know, the crash in Washington,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: d C. And remember they had to shut down the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Newark Airport and the towers weren't able to function, they
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: didn't have enough control. Well, Duffy, behind the scenes has
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: been quietly patching all this up. The air travel system
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: has gotten much better, The ports are much more efficient.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Duffy very quietly, he's been fixing everything, even the trucking system.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: You know, we have all these big rig trucks all
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: over the place, and it turns out many of them
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: were being driven by illegals who weren't qualified. But in
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: crazy left wing blue states, they could still get a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: trucking license, a commercial driver's license. So about forty five
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: percent of them have already been taken away by Duffy.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: So he's made great improved that's one reason you can't
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: criticize him. The other reason is you'll never hear democrats
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: in Congress like left wing democrats go after the transportation
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: secretary because he runs the airports, he runs the trains,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: he runs all that stuff. And people in Congress all
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: they do is travel back and forth to their home state.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: So every weekend they're in the airport, they're on a train,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: they're in Reagan Airport, they're in this airport. They're always traveling.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And Duffy is very smart, went to everybody in Congress,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: gave everybody his cell number. Here. You ever have a problem,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: you call me on myself anytime, twenty four hours a day,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: call me anytime you need anything. So they're very careful
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: not to pick on Duffy. They want to have a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: good relationship with them. Hey, Milania Trump, there's a big
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: documentary on Malania Trump that's going to be released in
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks or a week or so, big, big,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: big blockbuster documentary. The guy that produced it is Brett Ratner.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Now this was Brett Ratner was a very big deal
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: in Hollywood, a big producer with his own big production
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: company called the Ratpack. Entertainment. But Brett Ratner was one
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: of those guys that got me too. And there was
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: some horrible scandal with women and terrible sexual harau, all
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: kinds of stuff. So Brett Ratner got run out of Hollywood.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: That was the end of him. And I know him
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a little, and as far as I know, he was
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: always sort of a left wing, typical democrat Hollywood. But
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: he's the guy behind this Milania documentary, which seems to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: have the full cooperation of Milania the Trumps. It will
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: make its debut at the Trump Kennedy Center and then
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: it'll apparently Amazon has got a deal with It's made
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: by Amazon MGM Studios and they're going to be involved
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: with it. So at forty million dollar budget, it's gonna
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: be a big deal. Now it's going to be put
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: in theaters. It'll be streaming on Amazon, but it'll go
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: to theaters first. And all the left wing sites are
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: bragging and bragging and bragging about how the theaters haven't
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: sold enough tickets. There's going to be empty seats. They're
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: already calling it a big bomb. It doesn't actually mean anything.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: It's the theaters aren't important. It's what it does streaming wise.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Now it may bomb in the theaters. A lot of
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: people don't want to go to a theater to see
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a documentary, but once it hits Amazon and it's streaming,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the numbers could be huge. And from what I hear,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: it's pretty good, So keep an eye out for that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: So Mom Donnie goes on the View yesterday, and a
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: perfect setting for him. It's just perfect for him. You
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: got these four yo yos that hosts. How many are
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: in the views at four or five? I think it's
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: five plus, Mom Donnie, but they're all, you know, cackling hens.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: None of them are very bright. It's perfect and Mom
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Donnie can talk aboule a minute. When you talk that fast,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: you can now talk a bunch of babbling idiots. But
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: he's given all these long winded answers and a lot
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of word salads. Now this is him on how he's
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: going to tax businesses to death. The left wing audience,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: of course, cheering this on.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And what I've proposed is that we raise ten billion
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: dollars to pay for our entire economic agenda and start
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to trump prove our city because we know he'll use
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: federal funding as leverage over this city and we will
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: do so in two key ways. The first is to
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: match the state's top corporate tax rate to that of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. We are at seven point two five percent,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: they're at eleven point five percent. Corporations can pay it
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: over there, they can pay it over here. And the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: beauty of it is that it doesn't just apply to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: corporations headquartered in New York City, because when you say this,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: people will say, well, they're going to go to Florida.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Wherever you are headquartered, as long as you do business
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: in the state of New York, you are taxable for
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that corporate tax.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, now, fear one of these left wing view idiots,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: you're cheering, eh, tax those businesses. It never occurs to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: them that what this is a tariff. If Trump put
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: tariffs on they'd be screaming and yelling this is wrong.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: This is a tariff. In fact, it's a bigger tariff
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: because when you put a import tariff on a company,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: most of the time the company doesn't have to pay it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: The importer pays it, the middleman pays it, the expediters
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: pay it. So the company here maybe they got to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: pay a little bit, not much. But when you put
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: a tax on the business, they pay it all one
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: hundred percent. There's nobody else to pass it along to.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: So it's a tariff. When you say increased corporate taxes
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: two percent, well that means every corporation has to raise
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the price of the products two percent to cover the tax.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: It's a tariff that causes a price increase immediately. But
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: don't tell these people. They don't know this. They can't
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: figure this out. So if he said Donald Trump wants
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: to tariff businesses, they'll start yelling and screaming, this is wrong,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: this is outrageous. If the socialists, we're going to tax
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: those big corporations, they start cheering. They're thrilled. It's the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: same exact thing. But they if it's a you call
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: it a tax, they love it. If you call it
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: a tariff, they hate it. Here's more, mon, donnie.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: One thing that we do have in common is that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: we both love New York City.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Oh he's talking about it now. They're asking him, you
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: know him and Trump? What's this relationship with him and Trump?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: One thing that we do have in common is that
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: we both love New York City. We're both New York. Yeah,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and so for that entire meeting, I made the case
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: about this city and what it can look like for
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: this city if it's a place that New Yorkers can afford,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: or if it's a place that they're pushed out of.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And every single policy that the federal administration puts forward,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: it has impacts on the city.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's quite a meeting. You know this, Mom,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Donnie is battling away a mile a minute. Trump is
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: pretending he's interested in this. The meantime, Trump is like
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: veteran CEO running a global empire, twice president of the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: United States, biggest figure in the world. Here's this little
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: thirty two year old giving him a philosophy on business
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: and stuff. But Trump's very good at that. Pretends he's listening,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: he knows when to nod and everything. Mom, Donnie.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: On housing, now, the housing crisis is the number one
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: crisis in the city. We have eight and a half
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: million people, more than two million they live in something
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: called rent stabilized housing. Year, the city decides if the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: rent's going up or if it's staying the same. Right,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: for the last four years, all they've seen is their
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: rent has gone up and up and up. More than
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: twelve percent. And I told those New Yorkers, I believe
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: they deserve a rent freeze. They deserve to have the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: peace of mind to wake up one day and know
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you can do that. That's what the Rent Guidelines Board
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: can do. And we appoint every member to that board.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Again, he talks very fast, and he sounds like he
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: knows what he's doing. Meantime, the truth, this guy has
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: no clue what to do about housing, hasn't got a clue,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: knows nothing about housing. This guy never even owned a house,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: he's never even had a house, but knows nothing about it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: And every solution he's proposed would do nothing except increase
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the price of housing. Now, that's one thing about socialists.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: One thing about socialist you can check the record. Whenever
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: they get into power and do their stuff, it kills
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the lower class, in middle class, it drives their costs up,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: it creates shortages. That's one thing you get when you
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: get socialists. Hey, by the way, the nurses strike, you
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: know you got to get out there. If you're the mayor,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: you gotta go out there, and you gotta bring the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: sides together. You gotta bring the hospitals together, the nurses together.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: You gotta get everybody in the room and negotiate again.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: He's a junior guy with no experience, no resume, never managed,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: So Mamdani doesn't know that he's out there picketing with
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the nurses, so he can no longer be the broker
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: to settle this. And then he brings in Bernie Sanders. Yesterday,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders to picket, who has no idea what the
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: issue is, no idea what they're striking over, no idea
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: what the hospital's point of view is. All he knows
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: is this a strike. They got picket signs, and Bernie
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: comes in to picket. Here he is fighting for the nurses.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Let me let me just say, for the bottom of
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: my heart, it is an honor and a privilege to
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: stand with the nurses of New York City.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Does want it?
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: There?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: You go. Let me translate what he's really saying. I
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: am here to fight for you. I'll be leaving in
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: an hour. You'll never see me again. I only came
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: because I heard there was TV cameras here. I'm going
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: to make a speech, then I'm gonna fly home and
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: forget about you. That's basically what it is. But he
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: pretends he knows the issues.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Don't tell me you can't provide a good nurse staff
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: ratio where you're paying your CEO at New York Presbyterian
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: twenty six million a year.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: There you go, it sounds good, but that's what CEOs
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: get paid. That's like standard pay for a CEO. Why
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: because they're entrusted with like a multi billion dollar business,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: you know, like everybody can't believe Jamie Diamond, the head
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: of a JP morgan Chase, he made seven hundred million
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: last year. Well most years it's thirty forty million. But
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: he had stock options and his stock went up in
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: value like seven hundred million. Now why is that Well
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: because the way he ran the company. JP Morgan Chase
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: was the biggest stock of twenty twenty five, and he
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: drove the stock price up like forty percent. So if
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you can go to a corporation and drive the stock
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: price up forty percent, that means JP morgan Chase probably
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: made maybe thirty five billion off that move. So if
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: they made thirty five billion the company, they'll give you
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: seven hundred million. So if you can raise the stock
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: price forty percent, you'll make a lot of money. It's
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: a good talent Minnesota. They're going to start arresting people
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: President Trump yes day. What about Don Lemon?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: All I just wants to do is get them out
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: of our country, bring them to the prisons, in jails
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: and mental institutions from where they came. That's all they
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: want to do, the patriots, and they have to be
