  Speaker 1: It's only about three hundred more weeks of him to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: get through, and then you'll be fine. Got to keep
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: clearing my throat. I'm not sick, I just my nose
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: has been stuffed up for a week and a half.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: It's just this ridiculously cold weather. It's gonna be in
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the forties today, fifties later this week in Alaska. Remember
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the Remember a couple weeks ago we had all that
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: snow on a Friday. Remember Bridgeport seven inches long, Island
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: seven inches. It was harm seven inches through this weather Alaska.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: This is just the past couple of days. Seven feet
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: of snow, seven feet of snow. You know here, if
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you get an inch, there's already a school closings immediately Alaska.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: You got to get to about ten feet before they
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: close the schools there. So we'll get to Venezuela, we'll
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: get to Greenland, we'll get to Tim Waltz, we'll get
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to CBS News. They're getting a lot of flat. They've
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: been cleaning up the evening News, trying to make it
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: less corrupt, and they're getting a lot of fla. Hey,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that crazy George Conway who's running for
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Congress we'll get to mom. Donnie Hey. Speaking of getting
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of flack, this Hilton story did not get
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of coverage. But you know, there's Hilton is
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a great hotel chain. You got Hilton hotels all over
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the place, and there's one in the Minnesota where you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: ICE when they go into these cities, you don't realize
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: all the logistics that are required. And I forget arresting
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the criminals, the criminal illegals, just the logistics of getting
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: them all there. If you want to send one hundred
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: ICE agents there, you got to move them there. All
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: their equipment, everything, their vehicles, everything has to be moved there.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And then you got to find a hotel for them
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to stay in. So in every city they have to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: book one hundred hotel rooms. Although well, government likes to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: waste money. But although it might be you know, they
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: double up, so it's fifty hotel rooms, two in a room, whatever.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: But in Minneapolis they used here it is again in Minneapolis,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: they used a Hilton hotel to have the ICE agents stay, well,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the local Hilton hotel employees. You know, it's a Minnesota
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and they were crazy left wing, childish democrats, woke democrats,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: so they found out these were Ice people coming to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: stay in the hotel, so they canceled the reservation and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: informed Ice that they were not welcome to stay in
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: this Hilton hotel. Well, you can't do that, of course,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. Now, it's not the fault of Hilton the corporation.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: It's these employees in this local hotel, and it turns
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: out it's not owned by Hilton. You know, many of
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: these hotels are owned and built by Hilton, but a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: lot of these hotels you stay in were just built
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: by the local guy who built a hotel and then
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: he makes a deal with Hilton to come in and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: run it and put their name on it. It's a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: franchise you can buy, so you can build yourself a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: beautiful hotel and then you get Marriott to be the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: name on it and run it. You have to make
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a partnership franchise agreement with them. In this case, it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was Hilton. So Hilton looked into this and they immediately
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: withdrew the franchise. They fired this local owner and hotel.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: They took their name off the hotel. They will have
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with this hotel anymore. It's against their
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: policy to discriminate against people because of their race, or
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: because you don't like the way they look, or you
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: don't like their politics. You can't discriminate and refuse to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: give them a room. So Hilton has withdrawn the franchise.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: They will have nothing to do with Hotel anymore. So now,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of course, the left wing cooks are all going after Hilton,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: denouncing Hilton, writing about Hilton. Here's one of these left
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: wing cooks. Hilton was trying to protect people from government
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: thugs who separate people from their families. They separate families.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: First of all, every law enforcement agency in the world
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: separates families. The New York City police separate families. The
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Minneapolis police separate whenever anybody's arrested. If they arrest a woman,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: say a mother, and they arrest her and have to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: arrest her, take her in handcuff her, take her to jail.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: That you can't bring your kids with you. You're separated.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: The kids have to stay with a relative or something,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: or if there's nobody, they go into child services. But
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: every law enforcement agency separates families. Every arrest, families are separated.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So Hilton getting a lot of flack. Now, you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: who else is getting a lot of flax. CBS News
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: because the new woman in charge, Barry Weiss, decided to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: clean up the corruption over there and try to make
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: it a little more fair and balanced. So normally you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: watch the CBS Evening News, all they do is denounce
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the President, denounce the administration, call them all kinds of names.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Whatever they do, it's awful. So the new CBS News
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: under Berry Weiss, they put in a new anchor. This
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: guy's pretty good. It's off to a rough, rocky start,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: but he's pretty good. He'll he'll slowly, you know, he
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: actually get some pretty good ank. This David Muher, you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: might be a little slanted, but he's a sharp look
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and it's a great newscast. The ABC Evening News and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the new NBC News anchor. I can't remember his name,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Tom Yamas. That's his name, Tom Yamas. He's actually I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: like Lester Holdy was a nice guy. Totally corrupt on
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the air, totally biased, but he's a nice guy. This
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: guy's sharper, better, quicker, and the same thing with CBS.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: This guy's pretty good. But they've decided to make the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: newscast fair. So every night they'll go after the Trump
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: administration a little with the language because it's still being
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: written by CBS newswriters. But they'll be fair, they'll put
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the other side. On the first night of this new guy,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: he gave Pete Hegxith three segments on the New three
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: segments on the Evening News to respond. And then it
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: was Marco Rubio one night. They brought him on live
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and whatever they said bad about Trump, they put on Rubio,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: let him respond. And then Christy Nome, whatever the attack was,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: they then put went to her, put her on live
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: on the news and let her respond. That's the fair
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: thing to do, so you're supposed to do so. CBS
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: News getting all kinds of flak from left wing critics
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: now attacking them like crazy. Here's one the call says it.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Now it's become Fox News light. They're shilling for the administration,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: just giving the other the other side of chance to respond.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: That's shilling for the administration. So uh, changes are happening.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And remember this is only the first year of Donald Trump.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Give them two three years and we'll see what happens. Now,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: all this Greenland talk, you know, I feel bad for
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the Democrats. This is costing them a fortune. You know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: they all had to go out and buy Ukrainian flags
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to wave around. And then all the trouble in Israel
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: they had and they had to go out and you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: get rid of the flags. They had to go out
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and buy a Hamas flags and Palestinian flags to wave around.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I mean every second they got to buy a new flat.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Then ice they had, all these liberals had to go
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: buy Mexican flags, and now they all got to go
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: buy Venezuelan flags. You know, they're spending a fortune on flags.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Had I known this was going to happen, I would
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: have bought stock and flag companies a couple of years ago.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But it just you go into any left wing kook
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: woke democrats home, there's a closet now filled with different flags. Hey,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: by the way, a lot of this stuff, these protests
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: are funded organized. They're not organic or natural. Many of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: them paid for by Soros and those other oligarchs. The
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Democrat oligarchs like Soros fund them. Nicole what's his name,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Reid Hoffman. Reid Hoffman. So the president and the administration
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: for they've hinted at this, but for the first time
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: ever they said they're looking at going after them harmit.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Dillon and others in the Department of Justice now talking
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: about conspiracy charges against them. When you see what looks
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: supposed to be just an organic protest that happened all
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of a sudden over Venezuela, they all two hundred of them,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: have all the same equipment. They have the same exact
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: signs from the same printer, and they're real high quality,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: glossy printed signs, really expensive. Well, so this is all
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: being funded by these Soros type zillionaires. But now they're
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: talking about rico charges, conspiracy charges funding protests, so finally
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: something may be done about that. So the Venezuela talk.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing. The President talking about Greenland
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: taking over Greenland, hinting at the military go in there
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and sees Greenland. He's not going to do that. It's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: not going to be the military. First of all, the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: military seizing Greenland. A boy Scout troop could take over
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Greenland in about half an hour. I mean, it would
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: take twenty minutes to seize Greenland. So what he wants
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: is to buy it from Denmark. Denmark owns Greenland. And
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: there was a time a while back where they were
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: actually kind of interested in talking about it because the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: price was going to be billions of dollars for Greenland
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and they needed the money. Denmark's economy in trouble, a big, huge, huge,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: huge deficit and debt. Well, one of the things that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: saved them was that ozempic because apparently some of the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: original whatever it is from ozempic made in Greenland in Denmark,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and they've made a fortune off it, which made up
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of their deficit. But US wants Greenland, they'd
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: like to buy it. They'd like to work out an
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: agreement to buy it and pay for it and then
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: own it. But that's the reason for all this invasion
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: military to it's just negotiating, just negotiating. There's no chance
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: of actually invading Greenland or taking it over. But it's
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a very valuable thing for the US. It's very important,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: crucial military base for US, crucial as far as shipping lanes.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: It has all kinds of defense strategic reasons why we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: need to have Greenland. Also, it's filled with valuable minerals
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and stuff. So it's a win win to take Greenland.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: And Denmark really doesn't need it for any defense purposes
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: or strategic purposes or military base purposes, and then there's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: always the fear for all those same reasons that the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Russia or somebody else could take it over President Trump.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: You know, remember Joe Biden, remember him, And maybe once
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a year he tried to do a press conference and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: they'd call on three people where they were already picked beforehand,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: questions and answers written out right in front of Joe.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: And they had to put a big card with the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: reporter's name so Joe could call on him, and the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: reporter's picture so he'd recognize them. And they used a
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: real big font you know, so Joe could see it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Those are the old days. Now it's President Trump every
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: two seconds of press conference, anytime he's walking in the hall,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: anytime the reporter's there, he'll answer questions, he'll talk to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: them on They all have a cell number. They can
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: call him anytime. Hundreds and hundreds of these reporters have
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a cell number. Even this crazy Joe Scarborough, right after
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Venezuela or the Greenland stuff started, he said he called
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the President Trump and talked to him for twenty minutes Greenland.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's how open he is. He'll talk to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough on the phone for twenty minutes. But wherever
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: he is, you immediately can talk to him. He'll answer questions.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: You see, even when he's on the plane, he'll come
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: out of the private cabin and answer questions for a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: half hours. So anyway, the whole thing is it's a
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: winning situation in Venezuela. And he talked about that, you
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: got to win the midterms. Oh, okay, the midterms. Now
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: this is the other thing. How does this affect the midterms? Well,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: gas prices will come down even more. They've come down dramatically. Hey,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: By the way, it's another side issue. Gas has come
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: down to two fifty a gallon, two seventy five a gallon.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: It was four dollars under Joe bidden It's now two
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: fifty everywhere except New York, and except California. It's two
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: fifty everywhere you go in the country. Two seventy five.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: In New York it's still four dollars, four to fifty.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: California it's five. Nobody is you have totally corrupt meat.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Otherwise they'd be all over these two governors at demanding
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to know why they haven't let the gas prices come down.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: The reason hasn't come down here, the state will just
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: add the taxes to make up for it and keep it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: So gas prices are way down all over America with Venezuela.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Now we're going to get fifty million gallons immediately of
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: their oil. That'll bring down prices even more. A lot
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: of the drilling that started is starting to kick in.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: So also, you're going to have the tax cuts take
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: effect now finally, since New Year's Day, they're now in effect.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: People to get more money in their paychecks. So that's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: going to help Republicans in the midterm, and that's important.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: You got to win the midterms because if we don't
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: win the midterms, it's just going to be I mean,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: they'll find a reason to impeach me.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there'll be an impeachment a week. But on the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: other hand, when they do their remember first term was
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: an impeachment once every year, every spring. This will be
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: every month, and then they'll totally devalue the whole idea
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: of impeachment will mean nothing after a while. Now, the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: only time bomb there is a healthcare costs. Obamacare turns
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: out to be totally unworkable. In fact, they called it
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the Affordable Care Act. All it did was drive prices
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: up like crazy, which was to be expected. Anytime you
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: take anything out of the private sector and have the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: government run it, it gets much more expensive. And it
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: got so out of control that they had to start
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: giving subsidies to pay for it. It's the Affordable Care Act,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: but it's so unaffordable you have to have a government
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: subsidy to be able to afford it. So that expired.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Now they're going to have possible you know, one of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: those shutdown talk things again at the end of the month.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Democrats want to just keep the subsidy going forever, just
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: subsidize it. President Trump, being a logical businessman types as well,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: why don't we fix it so it actually is affordable,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: privatize a lot of it, make it more efficient, get
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: all the crazy, you know, crazy corruption and complication out
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: of it, and make it simple. And I mean, that's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the logical thing to do. But Democrats don't want that.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So healthcare will be crucial in the midterms. We could
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: have had healthcare good healthcare.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Obamacare is bad and the people understand it's bad, and
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: the premiums are horrible. But one thing I've learned, I've
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: learned a lot about healthcare. I found healthcare so sort
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: of like, not of tremendous interest, but it was very important.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so again all day long. You can talk to him.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Reporters can talk to him anytime, ask him anything. Now
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: he's a more important issue. You know how he does
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: that dance and aver there's music, he starts dancing. So
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: he was asked about that. This is interesting. Now, his wife,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Malania is a very dignified, very elegant woman, and there
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: he is dancing, and he was asked about it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: My wife hates when I do this, she said. You know,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: she's a very classy person. Right, she said, it's so presidential,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: he said, but I did become president somebody she hates
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: when I dance. I said, everybody wants darling. It's not presidential.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, that's true, but ninety percent of what he
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: does isn't presidential. He breaks all the rules and he
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: knows how to do it and be successful at it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: But I can understand her saying that.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: She said, could you imagine after you are dancing? She
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: said that to me, and I said, there's a long
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: history that perhaps she doesn't know. Because he was an
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: elegant fellow, even as a Democrat.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, but again, I've known Donald Trump, I don't know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: thirty five years and the decades before he was president.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: It was all the same thing as a top big
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: business guy in New York real estate. Everybody in that
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: world was why does he have to be Why does
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: he have to do that? Why does he have to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: behave like it? You know how to back? Doesn't he know?
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: So this has been gone on his whole life. He's
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: perfected this system of breaking all the rules. His instincts
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: are great. He makes it work. Hey, coming up, we'll
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: get to George Conway, this crazy nutjob Democrat wants to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: run for Congress here in New York. We'll get to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: that and more. Coming up, we'll take some calls. Next
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Go to Adam in New Jersey. Adam, how you doing? Adam?
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Hello?
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah? We did wake you did? We?
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: No?
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: No, no, no no no how are you?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Let me check? Not bad anytime? Just jump in whenever
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you feel like it.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, run am I on there ready or.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: It sounds like around something, but.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: All right, So this is Mark.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Let me see Mark. Listen.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: I'm glad you're there. But I heard that China and
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Russia have already pay Venezuela and oil right for the
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: fields for oil rights in the fields of Venezuela. Did
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: they get their money back or what's your thoughts on that?
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think it's like Amazon where you can
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: just send it back and get the refined.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: No.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Well, there's another reason we went into Venezuela. You have
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: all sorts of Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, everybody in there
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: doing god knows what it was like the axis of
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: evil all over again. That's another reason to break all
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that up. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you doing.
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, Mike.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: The Democrats are very good at controlling the language. So
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: there's always the equal such and such, you know, the
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: Act and the fair so and so law. And affordability
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: is the current one. And the funny thing is, you
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: know what's not as affordable as it once was? Everything?
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, you watched Andy Grifford Show, and
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: you know a haircut was fifty cents last time I
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: went to get a haircut down here far seventeen dollars
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: and it's a number two once around the head. You know,
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: it's like, you know, not even any.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's true of old TV. You know, you
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: watch a TV show from nineteen sixty and the guy says,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a five hundred dollars. You know, you
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: don't realize that's like ten thousand today. So but no,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that's a good point. Yeah, this affordability is an interesting thing. Obviously,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: it's always about the economy. You remember when Bill Clinton
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: ran and carvill famously said, it's the economy, stupid, It's
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: always the economy. But Democrats last year did extensive testing
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: with focus groups, seriously, and they came on the word
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: affordability in the focus groups and it tested through the roof.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: So they zero it in on that word affordability, affordability.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: And it's not that they're so good at messaging. It's
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: just the corruption where the every inch of media, anchors, newspaper,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: they're all in cahoots with them. And if they drill
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: it into your head over and over and over and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: you start to believe it, affordability crisis. If that's all
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you see day and night, everywhere you turn, affordability crisis.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: You'll start to think there's an affordability crisis. You know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: they did that with Curtis in the race.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: You know, Curtis had as good a chance as Mam
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Donnie in the beginning. I mean, if you look at
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: these two guys on paper, Mam Donnie never had a
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: job twelve years old. I mean, on paper, this guy
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: has no chance. But they kept doing that over and over.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Twenty four to seven. All you heard was Curtis can't win.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: CURTI Yeah, well Curtis is great, but he can't win.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: He can't win, he can't win. Well, after a while
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: people start to believe this. Let's go to uh, let's
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: I'm doing good, Mark, Mark. Every time I hear his
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: word affordability, I'm going to say, the government is the first,
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: the first person that causes uh unaffordability in the City
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: of New York. Like this latest bonehead idea that got
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: the city Council a couple of months ago pass this law.
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: It wasn't veto proof. They passed this law that if
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: you're going to sell you if you have a private
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: building and you're gonna sell it, you have to offer
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: it to one of sixteen nonprofit agencies that the city's
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: gonna tell you. You have to offer it to them first,
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: and if den if they don't want it, you could
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: sell it privately. And even then, if you're in before
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: you go into contract, you have to offer it to
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: these sixteen probably not nonprofit communist agencies. Well, I spoke
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: actually to a lawyer about this, and this is totally unconstitutional.
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: The problem is is the New York City courts are
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: all rigged with these left wing nut jobs. So it's
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: gonna that's.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: What happened to Donald Trump. And let me ask you
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: a question. You're a smart guy. You could be in
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: any business you want. Why would anybody be a owner
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: of an apartment building or a landlord? It's got to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: be the most difficult, troubled, the kind of way, just
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: NonStop problems, isn't it?
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: Mark?
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: These days? It is especially Mandami the other day appointed
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: this so called tenants rights advocate. Her name is CEA Weaver,
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: and she actually went on the air in an interview
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: and says, we have to rethink private property rights.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I'll give me a better one. Let
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: me see here's an actual quote for her home ownership
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: is a weapon of white supremacy exactly.
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: And then she goes on to say that we're going
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: to attack white neighborhoods more than minority neighborhood so forth
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: and so on. I actually spoke to a lawyer about
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: this and he did tell me this is totally unconsciousness.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: It is, but you know, it's New York. But we
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: got to go for the news with great call. We'll
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: get back to that woman and some of her crazy
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Mondannie just put her in charge of housing. Well, we'll
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: get to her in the next hour. But you know,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: we bring you the smartest people on earth will do
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that in the moment. Steve Forbes will be with us.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: He can explain a lot of this stuff in a
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: very rational way with the Steve Forbes next on seven
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: to ten wo r Steve Forbes, of course, the chairman,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: editor in chief Forbes Media. Also, you know he's the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: best selling author. You should get his latest book, Inflation.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: There is no better book on the subject. Just go
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to Amazon. You can get it there. Inflation, excellent book.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Steve Forbes, How are you.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Doing fine?
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Thanks?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: How are you in this new year? Lots happening. Seems
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: like the year's half over already with everything that's going on.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of hey, we're talking about affordability. Democrats found
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: that word through focus groups, affordability. But it has improved
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: a lot in the last year, hasn't it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: The real progress is being made. One of the things
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I think the Trump President Trump and his team underestimated
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: was how big of a mess they were actually inherited
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: from the Biden administration. But when you go down the
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: list of what they've done and what I hope they're
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: going to be doing this year, it's impressive. One of
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: the most boring subjects in the world, of course, is regulation.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: It's not the kind of thing that has people really aroused,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: but it's been a huge drain, huge burden on American
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: manufacturing and what they've done and things like with evs.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: You know, if they make these regulations permanent through legislation,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the auto industry is going to have a revival and
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: renaissance that we haven't seen since the nineteen fifties and
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: nineteen sixties in terms of new designs and new ways
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: of doing things instead of everything looking like a jelly
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: bean because of government regulations. So they're doing really really
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: important things. Hundreds of billions of dollars are going to
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: be saved through a deregulation. The tax cut is a
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: savior of preserving the twenty seventeen tax cuts, but also
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: the big write offs for investment in manufacturing and businesses
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: today is going to kick in. And one of the
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: things they're talking about, which I hope they'll do Mark,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: is have a second reconciliation bill and cut personal income
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: tax rates, cut the corporate rate, which President Trump wanted
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: to do from twenty one to fifteen percent, cut the
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: capital gains, which that should be a no brainer. It's
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: good for investment but also instantly raises revenue. So some
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: things are moving in the right way, and a big
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: battle coming up again. Another boring subject monetary policy is
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve. Getting somebody in there who will fundamentally
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: re rechange, change the way the Federal Reserve operates on.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: The FED operates on the assumption the prosperity causes inflation.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: They have an allergy to a vigorous, growing economy, and
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: that's got to be changed because that's been a dead
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: weight for decades.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: But how crucial is the Fed nowadays you know, you
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: can't rate cut your way to prosperity, can you.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: No, But what you can do is have rates actually
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: set by the marketplace. What the FED is doing now
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: is a form of rent control. We know what that's
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: done in New York, and we'll do even more. But
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: you know, they used to talk about renting the money.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: So when you're borrowing the money, you're renting it, and
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve is setting the rental rates instead of
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: letting the market do it. So the key thing is
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: not to have the FED come up the financial markets,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: which is done with their artificial coming around with interest rates,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: and go for a stable dollar. That's why I hope
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary Besson and President Trump say they want a strong,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: stable dollar. They want the dollar to remain a reserve
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: currency where you have to have a stable and trustworthy
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: So I hope they get the FED in the right direction.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: And I'll make a prediction even though I'm probably wrong,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: but you never make money going with the crowd. In
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: terms of the head of the FED, I think a
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: good thing would be to send Scott Besson over to
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: the FED.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: He's got the.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Strength and knows what needs to be done and have
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Kevin Hassett, I'll go to the Treasury Department.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Oh well, listen, you know more about this than I.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: But Scott Besson's a great Treasury secretary and there's oh
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: yes he is. YEA other people could be great FED chairman.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Look who I'm talking to, Warp, You'd be perfect for it,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: but you.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Got I'm an agitator now.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: But is it your top guy? If it's Scott Besston,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: wouldn't need be more valuable as a Treasury secretary than
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: a FED chairman.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I think he would be. Actually, well, the reason I
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: would like him at the FED is that one, he's
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: got a fixed term, and he would not. I think
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: he's because of his background in finance and the success
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: in finance. There's no way they can capture him, no
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: way they can buffalo him the way they did Jerome Powell.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: And I think he would.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Also know how to ask the right questions.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: That's key, and have the and not be intimidated by PhDs.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: They're over three hundred there now they should be uber drivers,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: but they're they're at the FED right now mucking things up,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: and and so I think Besson would have the strength
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: to really turn things over We've already seen what Lee's
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Eldon's done at the EPA in terms of deregulation, and
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: the tread of the Energy team with this administration's phenomenal, right,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: and Bergham's that that's going to pay real dividends and
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: already is at the pump. And by the way, by
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: the way, the lower price of gas line somehow doesn't
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: make the headlines the way it does when the Democrats
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: are in and prices are going up and gets ignored.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Prices are going down and the media ignores it. But
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: with winner right with us, boy, people want those low rates,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Part of the problem though I don't know how they
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: managed to do it, but as the price has dropped
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: a lot on gas here in New York and in California,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: they kept the price way up there at four dollars
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: a gallon, which is where most of the reporters in
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the media live, so they haven't felt the effect yet.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. And but you know, since
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: they pride themselves and being a great journalist, they should
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: ask the question why and the answer is thing called tax.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Steve Forth, let me ask you about Venezuela. It was
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: a booming economy for many years, and then Chavez and
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Maduro come in with their socialism and screw it up.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: What's the potential for the economy in Venezuela with the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: right leader.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: The potential is phenomenal. We all know about their oil reserves,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: and it will take time to get the fields back up.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: They've been erecked and that takes time. But one of
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the things I hope we do before we have a
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: new democratic elected government. There is a couple of things.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: One is keep out the International Monetary Fund the IMF.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: They always recommend higher taxes and currency devaluations with triggers inflation.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: So keep out the IMF and know what they should
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: do do in Venezuela is since nobody pays attention to
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: their bullovar currency anymore toilet paper, is it dollarize it?
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Malay should have done that in Argentina, the President of Argentina.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: But dollarize the Venezuelan economy. They're always already using dollars
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: informally anyway, so make it formal and then put in
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: a low rate tax system and by golly, you'd see
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: you've got millions of people who left Venezuela. They would
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: bring capital back you'd see domestic capital being created again.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: And there you said, they have an entrepreneurial spirit, and
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: you could see that economy not revived just because of oil,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: but doing other things. And you have a success in Venezuela.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: You've got a new president of Chile to get that
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: country back on track. Hopefully Malay gets it right with
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: the currency. In Argentina. You have those three countries booming.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: By golly, that changes everything, not just in Latin America,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: but as a model for other countries around the world.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, Steve Forbes, what's your outlook forecast for New Jersey
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: with another crazy Democrat governor? Oh man, You.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Know, whenever you talk, whenever you talk to a financial advisor,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: the first thing they say to me, they're more polite
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: than I'm about to be to myself.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: You idiot.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Why he's saying in the state of New Jersey, that's
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: one of the most misgoverned states in the Union. And
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: the sad thing is years ago, Larry Cudlow and I
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: did a tax program for Christy Whitman when she became governor,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: and we helped get through big cuts in the state
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: income tax rate. And one of the things we learned
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: back then was New Jersey was once the most prosperous
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: state in the country, grew faster than the rest of
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: the country, recovered faster than the rest of the country,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: and high taxes and regulation killed what had been a
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: booming economy, always doing better than the national average. And
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: that can be brought back again. That's why the pharmaceutical
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: industry is based in New Jersey and other industries, and.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: The policy wrecked it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: And that's what is so frustrating as we see real
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: life examples of before and after. And yet and yet
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: people continue to talk about the need for re education centers.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe for economics, I don't know, but well, it's sad
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: because the potential is enormous, but people and capital are
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: moving elsewhere.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Well I would laugh at you, but we just elected
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hokele and Mamdani So I'm who am I to
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: But yes, Steve Forbes great to talk to you. Everybody
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: should get his book. His latest book is Inflation. No
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: better book on the subject inflation. Just go to Amazon
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: and get Steve Forbes's book, read his columns, watch them
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: on television. Of course, Forbes one of the great media
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: companies in America, in the world Steve Forbes, thanks for
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: being with us.
• 31:53

• 33:02
  Speaker 1: will also get to this crazy George Conway. He wants
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: to be our congressman. Democrats and Trumpeters would like to
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: make that like a national thing every year, like you know,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: nine to eleven where the whole country stops to remember,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: or they want to make it like a Pearl Harbor
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: kind of. It's not going to work those of you
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: that don't remember January sixth, was that terrible trespassing incident
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: at the Capitol. I remember. But here's the Democrats are now.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: You know all the universities have been corrupted, many of
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: our high schools. You got all these left wing teachers.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: You got all this left wing propaganda being taught in
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: schools now, and this is why you get people that younger,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: people that will vote for Mom. DONI twenty thirty years
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: of being indoctrinated in these left wing classrooms. Well, now
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: they want to add January sixth to the history books
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: and have that taught in every classroom. Now. Of course,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: they're not going to teach the whole story as Democrats
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: do or fake news they'll just give you three or
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: four pieces of the puzzle and leave out ninety eight
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: percent of it, so they won't tell you that. President
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Trump offered ten thousand troops and urged them to take
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: the ten thousand troops to guard the capital that day.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: It was just another demonstration like the other two hundred
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: and seventy five that had happened that whole summer in America.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: But Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of DC decided not
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to accept the offer of the ten thousand troops. They
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: were told four hundred thousand demonstrators would show up. They
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: turned down the ten thousand troops. And by the way,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: demonstrations of that size were taking place all the time
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: in Washington when Trump was president. Once remember at the
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial, and he surrounded it with troops with machine
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: gun and nobody got near the Lincoln Memorial. The worst
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: one was when Democratic protesters tried to take the White House,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: tried to come over the fence. Remember Trump put out
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: those tweets if you do come over the fence, you're
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: going to see them vicious dogs you've ever seen. But
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: he surrounded the place with troops. There was still a
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: hell of a battle at the White House fence. Over
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: two hundred law enforcement ended up in the hospital after that.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: But January sixth, it was just another one of those,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: not as bad as the one at the White House.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: But Nancy Pelosi made the decision that she would try
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: to guard the building with just the building security guys,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the Capitol Hill Police, which that's basically it is the
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: security guys at the building instead of actual troops and
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Capitol police. They're nice, but they there's only a couple
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: of hundred of them, and they can't control four hundred
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: thousand demonstrators, so they'll leave that out of the discussion.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: In fact, Nancy Pelosi to this day denies it, although
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: there's video of her admitting to it that night that
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: she turned it down and this is all her fault.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: But she'll deny it, and they'll teach the fake version
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: of January sixth, they'll say, they'll just keep using the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: word insurrection. It was an insurrection. Meantime, they arrested twelve
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: hundred of those demonstrators, not a single one has been
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: charged with insurrection. And remember they charged these guys with
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: everything they could hit him with. Each one got hit
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: with twelve charges nineteen charges twenty anything they could charge
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: him with, and nobody got charged with insurrection. But we'll
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: see see what happens if they can stop that from
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: going into the history books. Hey, TV ratings for the
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: year twenty twenty five, you know the New Year's Eve
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: show on ABC, which was Dick Clark's rocking New Year's
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Eve for years now, it's Ryan Seacrest did pretty well.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Got eighteen million viewers in today's broadcast TV world. That
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: is enormous. That's huge, huge, and got seventeen million the
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: year before, so it was a definite increase. It went up.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Andy Cohen, of course, looked ridiculous, getting drunk out of
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: his mind, going into a drunken rant about Eric Adams,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and then Adams was asked about it the next day.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: What say to Andy Cohen, who called you all kinds
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: of names, and he said, I got my response is
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: two letters, and you thought it must be f you
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: or something like my response is two letters AA, which
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: was a great response. And now Adam's tweeting about Andy
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Cohen alcoholics anonymous. So it is a problem. You know,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: people get drunk on New Year's Eve, but if you're
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: on live television, in front of eighteen million people. You'd
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: think you'd have a little discipline not to get that drunk.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: But it was a big night for ABC with the
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: eighteen million viewers. Fox News had one of the best
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: years ever. Four point one million viewers was the average.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: That's like way beyond any other cable network. Four point
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: one million viewers. Biggest show of the year was The
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Five and Jesse Waters and of course Hannity. Those are
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the three biggest shows. MSNBC, CNN a bad year. Not
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: a lot. The most watched telecast of twenty twenty five
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: number one, right the super Bowl? Number two. Tracker The
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: hell is Tracker? I don't know. It's one of those
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: drama shows. I know, I do know. It's about that
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: whatever he is, a detective, whatever he is, who tracks
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: down missing people. Nineteen episodes, but it did really well.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: The NFL was the biggest thing on television all year.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: If you take the top hundred one hundred things of
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, forty five of them almost half were
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: NFL games. That's really the only thing keeping broadcast TV alive.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Ratings are down dramatically. Everything in broadcast TV ratings are
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: way down, But the NFL doing really well. Tim Waltz,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: you know, he said he will not seek reelection, and
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I don't blame him. If eighteen billion was stolen right
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: under your nose in your own state, you got no
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: business seeking reelection. By the way, way the attorney general
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: of Minnesota, that left wing kook, Keith Ellison, Why hasn't
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: he resigned? If you're the attorney general and eighteen billion
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: was stolen right into your nose and you didn't catch it,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: why hasn't he resigned? Now people are calling for Waltz
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: to resign immediately. He won't seek reelection, but people are
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: saying this is so bad, this scandal so horrifying, that
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: he should resign immediately. He refuses to do that.
• 39:26
  Speaker 10: I'm not going anywhere, and you can make all your
• 39:28
  Speaker 10: requests for me to resign over my dead body will
• 39:31
  Speaker 10: that happen. I will fight this thing till the very
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: end to make this state better. And the question that
• 39:37
  Speaker 10: I think they need to decide is is when did
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: the guy in the White House resign? Anytime I get
• 39:41
  Speaker 10: drug into being next to Donald Trump? God help me,
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: I don't want to be judged against that guy.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Now, Apparently in private, they told him he should resign,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: and he threw a temper tantrument and went nuts, and
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: then he The rest of that speech was this whole
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: thing about every minute I spend on my own political
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: interests is a minut and that I can't spend defending
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: the people in Minnesota against the criminals who prey on
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: our generosity. Well, I think if eighteen billion went missing,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: we could agree he's not very good at that. Anyway,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: he is suffering. I mean, you don't want to make
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: fun of a guy with medical problems. He is suffering
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: from Trump derangement syndrome. Game's over for him now. It
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: was all me. I was the bad guy or whatever.
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: Well, put up or shut up now and tell us
• 40:26
  Speaker 10: what you're going to do to make this state better.
• 40:28
  Speaker 10: Answer these tough questions, quit hiding behind this and expect
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: for the next eleven months for me to ride you
• 40:36
  Speaker 10: like you've never been ridden.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. But what's Trump going
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: to do about it? Well, right now they're going in
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: and arresting the criminals who stole the eighteen billion, not million,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: eighteen billion. They're arresting them one by one. This is
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: like the Bernie Madoff cleanup. You know, they had to
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: go after everybody, but then they had to claw back
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: the money. Well, the fans are starting to do that.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of these ring leaders of this fraud,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: and it was just an out and out fraud scheme
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: by these Somalis in Minnesota. Many of them took the
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: money and bought mansions and Porsches and luxury goods and
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: all sorts of expensive real estate. Well here's one. One
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: woman was convicted. The court is now federal charges. The
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: court is now clawing back everything, making her sell the houses,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: the Porsche, the cars, the Rolls Royces and getting the
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: money back. So it takes a while. You know, with
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: the Bernie Madoff stuff, that was like fifty billion, but
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: they got back like thirty billion of it. So they'll
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: get they'll probably get back nine billion of this money.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: They'll claw it back slowly but surely. And that's what
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: you do about it. Oh, I forget George Conway. Now,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: this guy is going to be great. We are so
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: lucky that he has come to New York and he's
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: going to run for the Gerald Nadler, a congressional seat
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: that's open. Now you might be saying well, what if
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: he wins. He's a left wing crazy, yeah, but so
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: as Nadler. So it's no change at all. And that
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: district in New York, you're always going to get a
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: left wing cook, so you might as well get this
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: guy because he's so silly and such a clown. George Conway.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: He was married at one time to Kelly and Conway,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: who's great, and you might say, well, how could that be. Well,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: back then, you know, he was one of the most
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: brilliant lawyers in New York, brilliant attorney, a very successful guy,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: and then he was married to her. But we've seen
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: this happen before where somebody goes nuts. And Conway was
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: hanging around with all the big Conservatives and Republicans, George
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Conway and then at some point we've seen it with
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: other people. They they just snap, they just go nuts,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they become a left wing
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: cook with Trump derangement syndrome. But he's going to run
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: for this seat on the west side of Manhattan. Now
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: you might be saying to yourself, wait a minute, he
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: lives in Maryland, he doesn't even live here. Well, he's
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: a Democrat. You can do whatever the hell you want
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: when you're a Democrat, and he's got raised money, and
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: he's got his first campaign ads, the George Conway campaign
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: is underway.
• 43:04
  Speaker 11: As one of the ads, we have a corrupt president,
• 43:07
  Speaker 11: a mendacious president, a criminal president whose masked agents are
• 43:11
  Speaker 11: disappearing people from our streets, who's breaking international law, and
• 43:16
  Speaker 11: he's running our federal government like a mob protection rocket.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: This is why this guy's going to be great. This hysterical,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: hyperbog nonsense. And he's mendacious, which I think is bad.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what it is, but it's bad.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: You don't want to be mendacious. He's disappearing people, it's
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: called arresting people. I love the and it's a violation
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: of international law. You're going to hear this a lot
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: from Democrats, especially with Venezuela. He's violated international law. Nobody
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: knows what the hell he's talking about. There's no such
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: thing as international law. Nobody knows what they're referring to.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Where's this international law you're talking about. There is no
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: national law. The only thing you could point to. I
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: asked Greg Jarrett, the great legal extorid, what the hell
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: are they talking about? The international law, he said, maybe
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: they're talking about the UN Charter United Nations, but they're
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: not a law enforcement agency. They have no law, they
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: have no authority, they have no standing at all. So
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: there's no such thing as international law. But the commercial
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: goes on.
• 44:22
  Speaker 11: He doesn't like me. I don't like what he's done
• 44:24
  Speaker 11: to our great country, and now I'm running for Congress
• 44:27
  Speaker 11: to take the fight directly back to him.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: On your behalf, you go. He does not like what
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: he's done to this country. But Joe Biden, he always
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: was thrilled about that. Thrilled. But this guy's going to
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: be great. We're so lucky to get him here. This
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: is so good for us. We're going to have nothing
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: but amusement from this. George Conway, you remember, he's the
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: guy that ran that crazy Lincoln project with the same thing.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Nothing he did work because it was all too over
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the top hysterical.
• 44:55
  Speaker 12: I don't intend to be doing this when I'm sixty
• 44:57
  Speaker 12: six or sixty seven or sixty eight. You know, I'm
• 45:01
  Speaker 12: kind of like a special teams player. I want to
• 45:03
  Speaker 12: do this for one reason, and that is to help
• 45:07
  Speaker 12: get this our governmental system back on track with something
• 45:13
  Speaker 12: back to normal.
• 45:14
  Speaker 11: At least back toward normal.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: There you go. His idea normal was Joe Biden, you know,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: the great stephen A. Smith. Let me see if I
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: can find that quote. It's a very important point because
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of these Democrats are going nuts and screaming
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: and yelling. Stephen A. Smith is a Democrat, but he
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: he's like Bill Maher occasional bouts of common sense. But
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: he stunned a Democratic audience by explaining to them because
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: they can't get how Donald Trump gets elected. But Stephen A.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Smith explained to him that for all the things they
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: hate about Donald Trump, to normal voters, to most normal voters,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: they think Trump is a lot closer to normal than
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: today's Democrats are. And you could look at Trump and say,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: he's doing things that's not presidential. Why you behave like
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: that way? Well, whatever he does, it's a lot more
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: normal than Democrats are. Right now, Hey, there's a new phenomenon.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: I don't like this at all. You know. You know
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: the restaurant Carbone. It opened I don't know about ten
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: years ago in the village Carbone, an Italian restaurant. It's
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: sort of it was just a gimmick actually for younger
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: you know, the whole new generation. It was like old
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: school red sauce Italian food. But to these younger people,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: they'd never seen that. I mean, you could go to
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Patsy's and it's much better there, but they never saw
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: anything like Carbone and the checker tablecloths. I never saw
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: anything like that. So it took off. It became huge.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: And when you become the hottest trendiest restaurant. Then in
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: the old days, you were the hottest trendiest restaurant. Anybody
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: would come to New York. I gotta go there. I
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: want to. Well, now they opened. When you're at the
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: trendiest place, you opened everywhere. Then there was Carbone Miami,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: then there was Carbone, Paris, Carbone, Los Angeles. Car Bone
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: now it's just opening in the Bellagio. So the reason
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: for this, you get these big hedge fund guys, and
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: whenever it's the hottest restaurant in the world. You know,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: if you want to always get a table, you bribe
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: the maitre d us. But if you really want to
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: get treated well, you get friendly with the owner and
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: you offer to put up millions and millions and millions
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: to open some more restaurants. That's why you see like
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Avre on sixtieth Street that became a big hotspot. Next
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: thing you know, there's an Ova on fiftieth Street. Next
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: thing you know, there's Anavora over here. Next thing you know,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: there's one in Beverly Hills. There's one in Miami. But
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: this phenomenon is spreading everywhere, and it's not good. Everything
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: is becoming a chain now. For instance, Sally's Pizza New Haven,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: There's Frank Peppi's, Sally's. These were like the two. You
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: drive to New Haven just to have these pizzas that
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: everybody's saying are the best in the world. Well, next
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: thing you know, Frank Peppy's opening everywhere everywhere. There's one
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: in the Fairfield, one in Stanford, there's one here, there's
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: one in Yonkers, there's one. They're all over the place.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of them in Florida, they're in Nashville there.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: The other one is sally. Sally's just announced they're opening
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: two one hundred and fifty of them, two one hundred
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: and fifty of them. Now, the problem is everybody would
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: go to New Haven because it was such phenomenal pizza.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: When you open two hundred and fifty of them. You're
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: not gonna have the same pizza everywhere. It's not possible.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: It doesn't work. And they're all doing this. You know,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: in Queens and Utopia Boulevard. For a million years, Utopia
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Bagels they were always the best bagels in your People
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: would drive out there just to go to Utopia Bagels.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: They were so amazing. Then they opened one in Manhattan
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: and it's always the same story. It's not as good
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: as the original. Now there's four in New York City.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: Now they're opening all over. Now, there's gonna be one
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: in London, they're opening here, they're opening. They've got to
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: stop this stuff. These are like our finest food things,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: and they're all becoming franchises. Now. McDonald's can figure out
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: how to do it, but these people can't. It doesn't work.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: It's diluting the whole thing. Even the top restaurants of
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: the world that John, George, Danielle, all these guys. Now
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: instead of one restaurant, they got seventy five, and they're
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: not the same quality. You can't. You can't have seventy
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: five be the same quality. It's gotta stop. Hey, we'll
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: take some calls next eight hundred three to two one
• 49:24

• 50:52
  Speaker 1: that documentary, her daughter was throwing the car in the

• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Joel in Florida. Joel, how you doing.
• 51:29
  Speaker 14: Good morning, Mark. We're talking about January sixth to one
• 51:32
  Speaker 14: person when not talking about is Ashley Babbitt.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in the.
• 51:36
  Speaker 14: Old person that killed her was still working. In fact,
• 51:39
  Speaker 14: was promoted and subsequent to her desk. She was not
• 51:42
  Speaker 14: a quoted any military owned I.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Know it's a it's a very important thing. Ashley Babbitt
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: was murdered in cold blood by a Capitol Hill policeman.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: She's one of the protesters January sixth. But she's a military,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: veteran war hero. She's a protester. But they will come
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: in through the window she's coming through and that officer
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: takes out his gun and just shoots her, just shoots
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: her in cold blood. And he's still there. A lot
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: of people are talking to the present about this. Something
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: should be done to this guy, at least fire him,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: get him off the Capitol Hill Police. But a lot
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: of people in Congress have been defending this guy now
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: one reason, and this guy has a history of very
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: reckless behavior with his gun. It was an incident once
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: at his house where he just started firing at cars.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, he should be removed. But a lot of
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: people in Congress, big Congress people are afraid to go
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: after anybody in the Capitol Hill Police because they're the
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Capitol Hill Police. They've seen a lot, they know a
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: lot of secrets about these guys, so nobody wants to
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: get them on the You know against them, because they
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: know a lot of stuff. Let's go to Blauvelt in Florida. Blauvelt,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: Baux Simone, how are you sir?
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Welcome back?
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: Hey? That police officer sure that you were just talking
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: about he should he should be in jail. Yes, on
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: this midterms, the mid trest coming up there. R and
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: DC should hire Trump's son Baron and all his friends
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: and get all these videos of all these democrats in
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: Trump didn't take out MDUA the first year.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: It's already there. It's been there for the whole week.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: It's already there. But it's already. I don't mean to
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: confuse you with reality. It's already there. It's been all
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: over Twitter since Saturday. It's all over Twitter. The White
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: House has already put it out.
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: In fact, if you go to any White House site,
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Trump's site, all that videos up there, Schumer demanding we
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: get rid of Maduro, of Chris Murphy doing it. The
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: video is already all over the place and has been
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: for days. Let's go to Bill in Hackensack, Bill, how
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: you doing good? Thank you?
• 53:45
  Speaker 15: Mark, by the way, the one name the Democrats will
• 53:49
  Speaker 15: never mention, aside from tampon, Tim Wolfs is Ashley Babbitt,
• 53:54
  Speaker 15: and thank you for mentioning her name. That innocent woman
• 53:59
  Speaker 15: who was five foot four Air Force veteran, Ashley Babbitt
• 54:03
  Speaker 15: gunned down, murdered and yes.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: By that awful Capitol hillcop who should be a lot
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: of people are talking to the President constantly about going
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: after this guy, finally getting some justice for Ashley Babbott.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike in New Jersey. Mike, how you doing?
• 54:18
  Speaker 16: Yeah, Hi, Mark, I enjoy your show.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 54:20
  Speaker 16: My good question. The Affordable Care Act. My son is
• 54:23
  Speaker 16: being hammered his premiums of Skyrocket and we just don't
• 54:27
  Speaker 16: know what to do his coverage. Obviously he can't afford.
• 54:30
  Speaker 16: There's no subsidies anymore. Is there anything you can suggest,
• 54:33
  Speaker 16: as Trump have anything in the works? Well, Congress doing anything?
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: That's the problem. This will all come up at the
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: end of the month when they'll have to vote to
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: continue the subsidies. It's over that issue that the government
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: shut down happened last time, it could happen again. I
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: would imagine in the end, because you've got midterms coming up,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: the President will sort of agree to continue that subsidy
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: for a while his plan is much better instead of
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: the constant subsidizing this Unaffordable Care Act, fix it, fix it.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of it'll be privatizing, and the whole system
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: is totally government corrupt, you know, which means you know,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: you get an MRI, they charge you three eight hundred
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: dollars for it. Meantime there's another person getting an MRI
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: somewhere else where it's eight hundred dollars. It's all of
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: these ridiculous finaggling the problem to the Affordable Care Act.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: It was just a gift to insurance agencies to charge
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell they want to charge. It needs to
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: be cleaned up. So they'll probably have to extend the
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: subsidies for the rest of this year while they figure
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: out how to fix this Affordable Care Act. Hey, when
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: we come back and culter, we'll be with us next
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: on seven to ten wor the follow her on substack
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: where she's got just columns and videos and podcasts, interviews,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff, a lot of content and culture
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: dot substack dot com and culture.
• 55:51
  Speaker 9: How you doing fantastic?
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: How are you mark some of it? Miss talking to
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: you last couple.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but what a first week of twenty twenty six.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Look all that's happened in one week. You got rid
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: of Tim wats I, Dureau everything. What do you think
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: I know?
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Chrump's not letting the grass grow under his feet.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: We have a short amount of time. I think it's fantastic.
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: I have a column coming out on it later. I
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: want to go back to the era of a semi
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: competent CIA, which we haven't had recently but may have now,
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: installing puppet governments throughout Latin America. They're obviously incapable of
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: governing themselves, and things were going great when the CIA
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: and the State Department and John Foster Dulles were running things,
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: knocking out the incompetence, I mean the problem. George Pennon,
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: the legendary diplomat, Yeah, went took a tour through Latin America,
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: knowing the strategic importance to the US He's and basically concluded,
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: these people are incapable of governing themselves. We should take
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: all measures. This is this is this will be a
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: problem for the US. We shouldn't worry about democratic niceties
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: that we would not accept in this country. And that
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: was followed up until liberals got the idea that's oh no,
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: they're just as good at self governance as we are. Well,
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: obviously they aren't. Over and over again you get the
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: same pattern. I mean Venezuela for example, which I've written
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: about a few times. It was the people, i e.
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: Peasants who keep voting for these communists who promised to
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: steal from the rich and give them all their money,
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: which they proceed to do, and then the country is
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: out of money. They can't get loyal out of the ground. No,
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: there has to be a paternalistic relationship to between the
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: United States and Latin America. And it's weird that the
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: media is acting as if we have no idea what
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: this means to install the world be running things. No,
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: no boots on the ground, no nation building. We just
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: have our own, our own US ruler to save the
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: people from themselves.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but who are we to complain about their governing.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: We just elected Kathy Hockel and Mom Donnie, So who
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: are we to talk?
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, well, New York should sit this one out.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: And Mom Donnie just put this woman in charge of
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: housing and apparently one time she said home ownership is
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: white supremacy, and we must see.
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: Private press read in the New York Post. She owns
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: a one point seven million dollar home in Tennessee. So
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: at least there's no hypocrisy from the left. No, not ever,
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: But wow, that is this is this is not going
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: to be good for housing in New York. It probably,
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: as we've discussed before, these run control measures just invariably
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: drive up the price of housing and limit the supply.
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: As you have landlords who were forced to just walk
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: away from their properties when the taxes and maintenance fees
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: are more than what they are allowed to charge and
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: rent by law. I mean, how long are they supposed
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: to keep losing money every month? They just walk away
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: and there goes there goes more housing.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, don't you feel bad for the left wing,
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: the Democrats right now, these liberals, because remember they had
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: to all go out and buy Ukrainian flags. Then they
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: had to go buy Hamas flags. Then they had to
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: buy Mexican flags, Then they had to get Somali flags.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: Now they got to go get Venezuelan flags.
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: It's rough, as I prefer it to. I love when
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: they have these leftist protests and you know they'll have
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: one sharp George Soros type instructing them all go buy
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: an American flag.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for Republican it's easy. Just buy one American flag.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: You're except for life. That's all you need.
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: They probably have their American flags if they're republic Uh.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: And what about Tim wats Is that the silliest guy
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: you've ever seen? Did you ever think it would be
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: over this fast for him?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: Not totally surprised. Man, he was a boob from the
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: moment he he showed up. Uh, it's it's it's a maybe.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: It teams a bit annoying that. I mean, you did
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: almost become the vice president of the United States. All
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: of this was known when he was running. There were
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: there were surprisingly enough liberal administrators of these government programs,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: well you know, regular Minnesotans who were trying to be
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: whistleblowers and being retaliated against out of Minnesota. This was
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: a story there for the taking. Uh, I guess, I
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: guess you and I read about it and and and
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: talked about it a little bit. It was showing up
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: on Twitter and in conservative publications like Breitbart, not in
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: the detail we have now. But when was the mainstream
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: media going to get around to covering this about the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: possible next vice president of the United States.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: I think never was the date they had picked. But hey,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: the other thing I'm watching every left wing fake news
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: they're all keep saying about Venezuela, it's a violation of
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: international law. Nobody can figure out where the hell is
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: this international law they're talking about. Where does that exist?
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: There is no law in.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: The imaginations of small children and liberals like Santa Claus
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: and the Easter Bunny. There is no such thing as
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: international law, international laws. Whatever the United States says international
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: law is so yes, it is hilarious when liberals go
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: around wailing about the violations of something that doesn't exist. Yeah,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: tell us what? Tell us what Santa Claus says?
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Next?
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, what are we going to do here in
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: New York with Mom Donnie? You know, this is going
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: to get out of control.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: It's not looking good so far. I mean, I mean,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: there was I had some I don't know if it's
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: it's hope or if it just seems kind of logical
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: that he doesn't seem like a like a half wit
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: the way Tim Waltz does, so I kind of. I mean,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: when he decided to keep and announce before the election
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: that he was going to keep the Police Commissioner Jessica Tish.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: I thought, okay, well he does at least know his
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: entire mayoralty will go to hell if if he unleashes
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: criminals on the citizenry. And I thought maybe it would
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: be a lot of left wing talk, but he would maintain,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: you know, just to to satisfy his it's not particularly
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: astute base, but then actually do a decent job running
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: the city. No, it does not look like that at all,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: Mark Simone.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 17: He seems to really believe he's going to put all
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 17: DEI and left incompetence in important government positions and know
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 17: that really does not vode well.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Well, but it's just the third term of Deblasio. All
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: these same people were in the Deblasio administration. It was bad,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: but we got through it. So we'll get through this,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: won't we.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: Well, it is New York City, and New York City
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: it's a hard city to wreck. And all I can
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: say is that's what we thought for many years about
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: the most beautiful state in the Union, California. But you know,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: let Democrats put their minds to it, they can wreck anything.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: So you know, they always love this socialism and you
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: could point out it's never worked anywhere in the world.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: The last ten thousand times it failed. But don't they
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: also ever notice that whenever they do these big programs,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars go missing. Deblasio lost a billion dollars
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: in that fake program. We just saw eighteen billion go
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: missing in Minnesota. Don't they ever notice all the money
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: goes missing?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 4: Hilarious? Yeah, I was just looking. I was just on
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: Twitter before calling in to my friend Mickey Cows and
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: tweeted out something about this Minnesota fraud, and his very
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: left wing brother tweeted back at him, saying, you know,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: this is the fault of conservatives that this program had
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: been I've been government run, we never would have had
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: this fraud. This is simultaneously with two hundred billion being
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: stolen from the COVID relief funds.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: No, it's just it's just off. Hey year old buddy
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: George Conway is coming to New York. He didn't live here,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: but he's running for Jerry Nadler's congressional seat. Do you
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: think he has any chance?
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: Well, it elected. Jerry Nndler can't say I really have
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: my finger on the pulse of those voters. I don't know.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: It's very very strange. George and I weirdly enough, we're
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: best friends for a long time. I introduced him to
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: his wife. There was no daylight between our positions. And
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know a lot of people Trump just just broken.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. There are people that just I was
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: when Trump came along, they just went off the deep end.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: There's a bunch of them.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: But that's straight. He's not the only one of my friends.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: And it's one thing. I mean, you know, I have
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: my I have my complaints with Trump. There's a lot
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: to complain about there. But when you have people who
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: have been had certain certain and like I said, Georgs
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: and the only one a certain worldview, you know, anti crime,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: for example, anti public violence, anti communism, and just because
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know, they don't like Trump again, lots to
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: dislike there. They suddenly slip on every single position they've
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: ever held, believed, argued written about. It's a very strange
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: phenomenon and I've seen it, I'd say a handful of times.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and Culter, great talking to you. Glad you're back,

• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: I love their show. It's every day noon to three
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: and it's coming up right after the news on seven
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: to ten WR. There's no such thing as international law.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: When they say Trump is violated international law. So if
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: you went to any left wing kook and you try
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: to justify that comment, all they can point to is well,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: some countries have treaties and agreements with each other, okay,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: but that's not international law. And there is the United
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: Nations a charter, but they have no authority over anything.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of international courts, but nobody recognizes and
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: they have no juristic or authority over anything. There is
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: no international law to violate. Hey, we're out of time.
• 1:07:05
