• 0:59
  Speaker 2: With New England, you've got the leaves changing. It's the
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: most beautiful time of the year in New England.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Isn't it? No. Yeah, but it's what comes after it,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you know? Okay.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, I think Republicans are actually in a pretty good
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: position for the midterms. You want to be a little
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: behind right now with momentum. You surge at the end.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: That's how President Trump won both times. And I don't,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you think he'll, he'll pull it off this time.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I, I don't, I mean, traditionally you lose,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you lose some seats, right. Uh, the, the party that's
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in power in a midterm, but you know, I'm just,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I was wondering about, uh, if you've seen, you've seen
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: though that map of South America since the USA ID,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they stopped, uh, you know, promoting, uh, transgender, uh, operas
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: in Peru and all these, uh, you know, they were,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: they were basically using all these slush funds for left-wing groups.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And the lefties have lost basically the entire continent of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: South America. I'm just wondering if the same thing is
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: going to happen here to a lesser degree.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, like the way they're going after
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: act blue, I mean, act blue is just a kind
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: of a domestic version of USA ID. You know, it's only,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it's foreigners that are subsidizing leftists rather than American subsidizing
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: foreign leftists in South America. It's a, I think they've
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: put an end to a lot of this crap that's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: been going on. And the fact that we have hundreds
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of thousands fewer federal workers now, they now have to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: get real jobs. They have to go out and produce
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: goods and services that people want rather than just trying
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to hassle people with small businesses and drown them in
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: red tape. I mean, yeah, I mean, I, I don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: think it might be okay. You know, it might be okay.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I hope the, uh, I hope the Republicans make a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: big deal out of these utility rates. I mean, we're,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: we're doing it in Massachusetts. Uh, you know, bar Huey's trying,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: trying to blame, uh, Trump for the fact that, uh,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you know, our, our, uh, kilowatt hour rate is 30
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: cents per kilowatt hour compared to 15% for Florida. And
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: by the way, uh, New York is 29.9 cents compared again,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Twice what Florida is. And they're trying to blame Trump
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: for all this stuff. But Trump is also the president
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of Florida and Utah and Tennessee, where it's even less
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: than Florida. I mean, how do they get away with this,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: blaming Trump for the utility rates? It's insanity.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here in New York, it was Andrew Cuomo who
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: closed Indian Point. That was 25% of our electricity, which
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: drove the cost up for everybody. So you can blame
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: him for that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in Massachusetts, I know because people show me the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: electric bills. I have a different municipal company. But they
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: have 10 separate surcharges. And the transmission fee, the transition fee,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the electric vehicle fee, the meter fee. And so now
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Mara Healy is starting to feel the heat, the incumbent governor,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: so she kills one of the fees. So she kills
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: it for two months. Wait a second. Wait a second, Mara.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I thought we were saving the planet. I thought these
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: were existential fees to prevent this. to prevent the polar
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: bears from becoming extinct. And, you know, to prevent the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: flooding of, of, of, uh, you know, Cape Cod. And
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: now she just says, Oh, we're coming up on an election.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to cut it. I'm going to cut the, uh,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: solar renewable fee for two months. Wait a second. If
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: two months, why don't we cut it for two centuries
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and see how we go?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Uh, Hey, how we car. I have not talked to
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you about the Cornell, uh, the handling of it by
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the university. Uh, this, uh, governor here putting this goofy
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Letitia James in, who's never been a criminal prosecutor, never
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: prosecuted a criminal case in her life. What do you think?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I remember well the Duke
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Lacrosse case, you know, that was fraudulent from day one.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: The woman who made the accusations now in prison for murder,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the district attorney went to prison for a day or two.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at the UVA case. I mean, just
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: totally fabricated. The story was too good for Rolling Stone
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to check I mean, there's more to it, more to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: this one than, than either Duke or UVA. But I mean,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: how do you, how do you get a, how are
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: they going to get a conviction when they have, when
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: they have her saying it was consensual? You know, I mean,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't that, aren't they going to get at least one
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: or two jurors to, to say, you know, wait a second,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: how can you, how can you convict these people beyond
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a reasonable doubt if she said it was consensual? And,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and the whole thing with Letitia James, I mean, That
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: woman should be in prison. I'm with Trump on that one.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, this woman was elected that she was going
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to have a bill of attainder, a law that would
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: only be enforced against Trump. I mean, maybe not technically
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a bill of attainder, but that's what it was. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: that's how she got elected. And then she puts this
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Zimbabwean woman in charge of just going after Trump. And
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: in the meantime, she's committed all kinds... kinds of mortgage
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: fraud i can't believe how many of these democrats get
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: away with mortgage fraud you know you got adam schiff
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you got uh eric swalwell you got letitia james you
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: got the woman on the federal reserve lisa cook they're
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they're all claiming that you know they have two two
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: primary residences i mean you know i i i know
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: i couldn't get away with that i don't think you
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: could either you know normal people can't but we're not democrats.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah Also, she's never been a prosecutor, ever. She's never
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: prosecuted a criminal case. Before this job, she was a
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: city council person for years. She was a public advocate.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: That's a feature of these Democratic prosecutors, especially females. That's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: not a bug. None of them have ever prosecuted anything.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And they're there, they check the box, and then they
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: just come up. I mean, every press release you've ever
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: seen from basically any prosecutor, local or federal, I know
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: federal for sure. It's always been this way, Democrat or
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Republican administration. The last line is, all these charges are
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: allegations and the defendant should be considered innocent until proven guilty.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: That's a standard feature, whatever the administration is. And she
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: goes out there and just says they're guilty. I mean,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I think I think first year law students
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: would know better to do that.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Wow. Hey, Howie Carr, your protege, Caroline Leavitt, goes on
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: to be White House press secretary. Now she just made
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a deal with Fox. She'll be a contributor. Pretty good,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: isn't it?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I think it's a good deal for her.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, look. You know, she's she's still
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: not even 30 years old. I don't I don't know.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You know, Fox News is going to make it to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: her retirement. You know, I think they're going down the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: tubes like like all the rest of, you know, broadcast
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: or cable media. But, you know, it's a good move
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: for her for right now. I mean, I think it'll
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: it'll it'll really work out well. They'll probably build a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: studio for her down. She's got a place here in
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Florida and she's got a place in New Hampshire and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: she goes back and forth. And I think I think
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: she'll be really good. Don't you?
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: And this is a very, very, very part-time job. When
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you're a contributor, you do it from home. You're on
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: eight minutes, you know, three times a day. It's an
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: easy job for her. She can still be with her kids. Yeah.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Fox News, by the way, 30th anniversary tomorrow. Pretty good.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Pretty amazing. Yeah. I saw that. I saw that. But,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you know, again, I think their glory days are behind them, though, Mark.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Don't you? Really? I mean, the... cable news is shedding
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: subscribers so fast.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah although fox news holds up pretty well you know
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the five is still doing three and a half million
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: every day and prime times three million you know cnn
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: is down to like four or five hundred thousand by
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the way the paramount skydance whatever the hell that is
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the merger closed officially now so uh what would you
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: do with cnn would you change it would you switch
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: it to some other format.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I think you just let it uh slowly wither and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: die don't you yeah you know, you know, you don't,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think you need to, you know, I think
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: part of the deal was the, uh, Ellison said they won't,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: they won't bring in the weed killer. They just won't
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: forget to irrigate it every, every now and again. And it'll, it'll,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: it'll shrink, shrink and die of its own account. Don't
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I like that. That's a good strategy.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Let it just be in last place forever. Just to
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: embarrass itself out of business. That's, A good idea.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Well, everybody, whenever the contracts come up, uh, Anderson, Anderson Cooper,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you know, we finished last paying you $ 10 million. We
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: can finish last paying you $ 10, 000. Take it or leave it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I like that.
