Hour 1: Inflation is trending downward. · The Mark Simone Show

0:01
Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York. They'll Mark sim
0:04
Speaker 1: own show on seven tenor Hey, there's a lot going on,
0:12
Speaker 1: a lot of Epstein's stuff swirling around here. That's pretty interesting.
0:15
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. We'll get we'll get to Mom Donnie.
0:19
Speaker 1: Tomorrow he meets with President Trump in the Oval Office.
0:24
Speaker 1: Both sides acknowledge it was Mom Donnie that asked for
0:28
Speaker 1: the meeting with President Trump. They'll meet in the Oval Office.
0:33
Speaker 1: This is going to be very very interesting. Most likely
0:37
Speaker 1: like you did with Zelensky. Cameras will be allowed in
0:40
Speaker 1: there to watch this. They'll have a big discussion in
0:43
Speaker 1: front of the cameras and then probably a private one.
0:47
Speaker 1: So we'll get to that. We'll get to Jimmy Kimmel
0:50
Speaker 1: and Trump at war again. Kimmel apparently has learned absolutely
0:57
Speaker 1: nothing from his being thanked off the air, or he
1:01
Speaker 1: just got even even cockier over it getting back on
1:04
Speaker 1: the air. But he made up a whole bunch of
1:07
Speaker 1: crap last night and just spewed it out on television. Now,
1:11
Speaker 1: the one guy that's got no Epstein problem is Donald Trump,
1:15
Speaker 1: because in two thousand and four he found out about
1:17
Speaker 1: Epstein and the young girls threw him the hell out
1:20
Speaker 1: of mar A Lago, banned him from the club, and
1:22
Speaker 1: never spoke to him again. Everybody knows this. There were
1:26
Speaker 1: witnesses to all of this. If you read the Epstein texts,
1:30
Speaker 1: emails that have all come out, he acknowledges he hasn't
1:34
Speaker 1: he hasn't spoken to Trump in a million years. Trump
1:38
Speaker 1: said it was two thousand and four the last time
1:40
Speaker 1: he spoke to him, and then cut him off, broke
1:42
Speaker 1: up with him, got rid of him, never spoke to
1:44
Speaker 1: him again. So for twenty one years Trump has had
1:48
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Epstein. But during those twenty one years,
1:52
Speaker 1: Democrats got themselves all tangled up with Epstein. They're very,
1:57
Speaker 1: very very close to Epstein. Larry's has already had his
2:01
Speaker 1: whole public life canceled as a result of his very
2:04
Speaker 1: close relationship with Epstein. He got this crazy congresswoman who's
2:08
Speaker 1: all tangled up with Epstein. But you could so if
2:11
Speaker 1: these files come out, and looks like they will, and
2:14
Speaker 1: it could be as soon as tomorrow night stuff starts
2:16
Speaker 1: coming out, you're going to have a Democrats with a
2:20
Speaker 1: huge problem. So Jimmy Kimmel goes on the air last
2:23
Speaker 1: night and starts claiming that Donald Trump is terrified of
2:30
Speaker 1: Hurricane Epstein that's coming to wipe him out. It was
2:34
Speaker 1: an absolutely crazy thing to say. No, if you're a
2:36
Speaker 1: Kimmel viewer, you're probably not that bright, so you're actually
2:41
Speaker 1: believing all of this crazy nonsense that kim Old is
2:44
Speaker 1: talking about. So there's Kimmel saying, Hurricane Epstein is going
2:49
Speaker 1: to take down Donald Trump, It's going to wipe him out. Well,
2:52
Speaker 1: the one thing you can see in all these Epstein files,
2:54
Speaker 1: you know, his estate has already released all the texts,
2:58
Speaker 1: not all of them, but a lot of the texts
3:00
Speaker 1: and emails that they have, and there's one thing you
3:01
Speaker 1: can see in those texts that there's no Donald Trump
3:05
Speaker 1: for twenty one years. But there's a lot of Democrats.
3:07
Speaker 1: He got this crazy congresswoman Plasket, who was so close
3:15
Speaker 1: to Epstein that during congressional hearings where she was one
3:19
Speaker 1: of the people on the committee that was going to
3:20
Speaker 1: do the questioning, she sent Epstein a special video link
3:26
Speaker 1: so that he alone could see the hearings live and
3:29
Speaker 1: then text her things to say, coach her on what
3:34
Speaker 1: to ask, and as the witnesses were talking before it
3:38
Speaker 1: was going to come to her for questions. Epstein would
3:40
Speaker 1: send her info and then she would be texting back, well,
3:43
Speaker 1: what should I do with this guy? What should I
3:45
Speaker 1: ask this guy? And it looks ridiculous. What is this congresswoman?
3:49
Speaker 1: This is recently just before he just before he died.
3:53
Speaker 1: What is she doing so close to Epstein texting back
3:56
Speaker 1: and forth? This is after Epstein was convicted, This is
3:59
Speaker 1: after Epstein was in prison. This was after Epstein is
4:03
Speaker 1: a registered sex offender. Now this crazy Jamie Raskin, he's
4:08
Speaker 1: that really left wing kook is defending Plasket, saying she
4:12
Speaker 1: did nothing wrong.
4:13
Speaker 2: They want to arrain her on some charges based on
4:16
Speaker 2: a newspaper article that she did something lawful, however ill advised.
4:21
Speaker 2: It may have been she took a phone call from
4:24
Speaker 2: one of her constituents.
4:28
Speaker 1: That's how they explained it. A constituent happened to call me.
4:32
Speaker 1: First of all, it wasn't a phone call. She had
4:35
Speaker 1: sent him a live link, a link so he could
4:37
Speaker 1: watch the hearing live. It wasn't on television, special link
4:41
Speaker 1: for him. And then she was texting back and forth
4:44
Speaker 1: with them all during the hearings. So she's on CNN
4:47
Speaker 1: last night with Wolf Blitzer and two CNN anchors. They're
4:50
Speaker 1: gonna grill her about this, but it's totally corrupt CNN.
4:54
Speaker 1: She's a Democrat, so they let her spew this ridiculous
4:57
Speaker 1: explanation and they just nod like oppelheads whatever she says,
5:01
Speaker 1: no matter how silly it is the excuse, They're just
5:04
Speaker 1: nodding and nodding. Can you I menage if there's a
5:06
Speaker 1: Republican I think they just nod. Listen to Plasket explain
5:09
Speaker 1: why she was texting back and forth with Epstein.
5:12
Speaker 3: Epstein had what property in the Virgin Islands?
5:15
Speaker 4: Right?
5:15
Speaker 5: Yes?
5:15
Speaker 6: What was your relationship with Epstein?
5:17
Speaker 4: So, Jeffrey Epstein was a constituent. He was a resident
5:21
Speaker 4: of the Virgin Islands, lived there, I guess more than
5:24
Speaker 4: half of the year because he was registered there. I
5:27
Speaker 4: had received donations from him. After the last investigation came out,
5:33
Speaker 4: which was after this texting. I gave any donations that
5:37
Speaker 4: I previously received from them to women's organizations and did
5:42
Speaker 4: not have any contact with him. But like many constituents,
5:45
Speaker 4: individuals get your phone number, they text you about issues,
5:49
Speaker 4: they speak with you. I have spoken with him about
5:53
Speaker 4: issues that are relevant, things that are going on in
5:55
Speaker 4: the Virgin Islands and elsewhere around the country.
5:57
Speaker 1: Now again, these are two CNN idiots. It's Wolf Blitzer
6:00
Speaker 1: and the woman, and they're just nodding. Uh huh. If
6:09
Speaker 1: that were Republican, they would be all over her. But
6:12
Speaker 1: they're just nodding. They don't say, wait a minute, what
6:15
Speaker 1: other constituents have your phone number? Tell us some other
6:18
Speaker 1: constituents that can text you live during hearings and give
6:21
Speaker 1: you questions to ask. It's absolutely ridiculous. You have representative,
6:25
Speaker 1: you have a congressman. Can you text them during the hearings?
6:29
Speaker 1: Do they text you back? So the whole thing is ridiculous.
6:33
Speaker 1: These Democrats are going to have a real problem. It's
6:35
Speaker 1: going to come out that they're all tangled up with Epstein,
6:39
Speaker 1: not just the Clintons, but all these people you didn't
6:41
Speaker 1: know about. Hakim Jeffries is going to have an Epstein problem.
6:44
Speaker 1: In fact, from now on, let's call him Hakim Jeffries Epstein.
6:47
Speaker 1: Hakim Jeffries Epstein, he was apparently looking for. Epstein was
6:52
Speaker 1: a big Democratic donator, donator, He's like ninety two percent
6:56
Speaker 1: of his donations went to Democrats. Now he was in
7:00
Speaker 1: the middle of New York City where it's mostly Democratic politicians,
7:04
Speaker 1: but there's plenty of Republicans around, and they never went
7:07
Speaker 1: near Epstein. He was a guy just right in checks
7:09
Speaker 1: left and right. That Epstein was a good looking guy
7:13
Speaker 1: and he I was gonna say charming, It wasn't that charming.
7:18
Speaker 1: He just looked good, he dressed well, but he didn't
7:21
Speaker 1: have that much personality. He just had a massive checkbook
7:24
Speaker 1: and he just threw money at everybody, anybody and everybody.
7:28
Speaker 1: He donated tons of money to your charity or campaign,
7:32
Speaker 1: whatever you needed. So Democrats were all over this guy,
7:36
Speaker 1: and one of them was Hakim Jeffries. His team going
7:38
Speaker 1: to Epstein over and over asking for donations. Here's the
7:42
Speaker 1: committee chairman comer on that.
7:45
Speaker 7: Haquem Jeffries campaign was soliciting donations from Epstein. They called
7:50
Speaker 7: Haquem Jeffries the Baroque of Brooklyn and that Hakem Jeffries
7:55
Speaker 7: could have a private meeting with Epstein if Epstein wanted,
8:01
Speaker 7: but they really wanted his full financial support.
8:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the Hakeem Jeffreys team is begging Jeffrey Epstein
8:09
Speaker 1: for donations, and they said, we'll take you to a
8:11
Speaker 1: private dinner, you can meet him alone. You can have
8:14
Speaker 1: private time. This is how Loja Hakeem Jeffries was back then.
8:17
Speaker 1: Epstein never took him up, sent a check, but he
8:21
Speaker 1: no interest in sitting down with him. But they all
8:24
Speaker 1: have this problem, Chuck Schumer, Chuck Schumer's got a lot
8:26
Speaker 1: of Epstein donations. How is he going to explain this?
8:29
Speaker 3: This is not an invitation for Donald Trump to pick
8:32
Speaker 3: and choose his version of the truth. This bill is
8:36
Speaker 3: a command for the president to be fully transparent, to
8:39
Speaker 3: come fully clean, and to provide full honesty to the
8:41
Speaker 3: American people, even if he doesn't want to.
8:46
Speaker 1: The Democrats have tried to respond to this. One of
8:51
Speaker 1: them is that crazy Jasmine Crockett. So she put out
8:54
Speaker 1: a big blockbuster bombshell that you know what, Lee he
9:00
Speaker 1: Zelden took money from Jeffrey Epstein, the wonderful EPA chairman,
9:05
Speaker 1: Lee Zelden from Long Island, Nice Lee Zelden, He took
9:10
Speaker 1: money from Jeffrey Epstein. Jasmine Crockett released the news. Well,
9:17
Speaker 1: turns out he did, but it wasn't that Jeffrey Epstein.
9:21
Speaker 1: It was a doctor, Jeffrey Epstein who lives on Long Island.
9:24
Speaker 1: You know, you never stop to think about this. It's
9:26
Speaker 1: kind of a common name around here, Jeffrey Epstein. And
9:29
Speaker 1: if you google it, there's four hundred Jeffrey Epstein's on
9:31
Speaker 1: Long Island. So a guy named Jeffrey Epstein, doctor Jeffrey Epstein,
9:36
Speaker 1: had sent a donation to Lee Zelden. But it wasn't
9:38
Speaker 1: that Jeffrey Epstein you're thinking about. Hey, you know, I
9:41
Speaker 1: just realized these are other Jeffrey Epstein's. Hey, they must
9:44
Speaker 1: have a real problem with this name. So Jasmine Crockett,
9:48
Speaker 1: this imbecile. He's on CNN. She said it was Jeffrey
9:54
Speaker 1: Epstein that gave the donation, and it was not the
9:57
Speaker 1: same one. It was a different one. Now listen to
9:59
Speaker 1: her double talk her way out of this stupid thing
10:02
Speaker 1: she made. She won't admit she made a mistake. She
10:06
Speaker 1: just words salads it.
10:07
Speaker 8: You talked about Republicans taking money from a Jeffrey Epstein.
10:10
Speaker 8: Here's what you said, who.
10:17
Speaker 9: Also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein. As I
10:21
Speaker 9: had my team digg in very quickly, met Romney, the NRCC,
10:27
Speaker 9: Lee Zelden, George bush Win, Red McCain.
10:32
Speaker 1: Yes, she's getting this all wrong, totally wrong, totally wrong.
10:37
Speaker 8: You mentioned Lezelden there, he's now a cabinet secretary. He
10:40
Speaker 8: responded and said it was actually a doctor, Jeffrey Epstein,
10:43
Speaker 8: who's a doctor that doesn't have any relation to the
10:45
Speaker 8: convicted sex truncker. I'm fortunate for that doctor, but that
10:48
Speaker 8: is to do it into a prior campaign of his.
10:51
Speaker 8: Do you want to correct the.
10:51
Speaker 10: Record on the people that I never said that it
10:54
Speaker 10: was that Jeffrey Epstein, so that people understand when you
10:56
Speaker 10: make a donation, your picture is not there to spring
11:00
Speaker 10: this on us in real time. I wanted the Republicans
11:03
Speaker 10: to think about what could potentially happen because I knew
11:06
Speaker 10: that they didn't even try to go through the FEC.
11:08
Speaker 10: So my team what they did is they googled, And
11:10
Speaker 10: that is specifically why I said a Jeffrey Epstein. Unlike Republicans,
11:14
Speaker 10: I at least don't go out and just tell lies
11:18
Speaker 10: because it was not the same one. That's fine, But
11:20
Speaker 10: when Lee Zelden had something to say, so she.
11:23
Speaker 1: Goes on and on and on trying to claim she
11:24
Speaker 1: didn't lie. And that's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard.
11:27
Speaker 1: I didn't say it was the Jeffrey Epstein. I said
11:29
Speaker 1: it was a Jeffrey Epstein. Well, it turns out none
11:32
Speaker 1: of that's true. She's just said it's Jeffrey Epstein. So
11:35
Speaker 1: they're going to have a huge problem when this comes out.
11:37
Speaker 1: A lot of Democrats are going to be in big,
11:39
Speaker 1: big trouble. But the point of this was Jimmy Kimmel
11:41
Speaker 1: lying again to the audience, just out and out lying
11:44
Speaker 1: to the audience that Hurricane Epstein Trump is bracing. It's
11:49
Speaker 1: going to be the worst thing in the world. Trump
11:51
Speaker 1: putting out all kinds of statements. Why does ABC News
11:54
Speaker 1: keep fake news Jimmy Kimmel on the air? No talent,
11:58
Speaker 1: poor ratings, It's a very good question to ask. Why
12:01
Speaker 1: do TV syndicates put up with it? It's a very
12:04
Speaker 1: good question. If the guy has no ratings, if he's
12:07
Speaker 1: in the last place in very few viewers, and he's
12:10
Speaker 1: lying all the time, why would you keep it on
12:12
Speaker 1: the air? Why would you do it? It doesn't make
12:16
Speaker 1: much sense. So, and if you're Kimmel, why would you
12:21
Speaker 1: Is he lying, just out and out lying, or is
12:23
Speaker 1: he that stupid that he actually believes this stuff? You
12:26
Speaker 1: know a lot of these people believe this stuff. You
12:29
Speaker 1: just keep saying over and over again, Trump Epstein, Trump Epstein,
12:32
Speaker 1: Trump EPST, and they start to believe that there was
12:34
Speaker 1: a connection between Trump and Epstein. They actually convinced themselves
12:37
Speaker 1: of this. There's another thing going on right now about
12:40
Speaker 1: there's all these fake polls being put out. You know,
12:42
Speaker 1: they can really rig these public polls. They oversample democrats,
12:47
Speaker 1: or they use the wrong demographics, or they don't use
12:50
Speaker 1: likely voters, they use adults, which means you can pick
12:53
Speaker 1: anybody you want, like you go to a protest rally,
12:56
Speaker 1: do the survey there. But all these public holes are
13:00
Speaker 1: coming out. Trump underwater in big trouble on the economy,
13:04
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent. They still support him. That's it. And
13:08
Speaker 1: if you read the stories are printing about these poles
13:12
Speaker 1: inflation raging. Here's another one, inflation out of control. Inflation's
13:18
Speaker 1: two point five percent. That's pretty good. Under Biden was
13:22
Speaker 1: five percent, and one point it hit nine percent. There
13:24
Speaker 1: was not a word about inflation. He's cut inflation in
13:28
Speaker 1: half in just the first year that he took office,
13:31
Speaker 1: second year eleven down even more. But they'll just keep
13:34
Speaker 1: doing this stuff and printing these fake poles and printing
13:37
Speaker 1: these outrageous headlines, and eventually people start to think there's
13:41
Speaker 1: a huge inflation crisis that's out of control. Not the
13:43
Speaker 1: case at all. So tomorrow Mabdani goes to the White
13:47
Speaker 1: House to meet with President Trump. Now we'll see who's
13:51
Speaker 1: on the couch with Trump. Will jd vanceby there? Will
13:54
Speaker 1: he jump in a little bit of an attack dog
13:57
Speaker 1: like he was with Zelenski? You know, sometimes Trump uses
14:01
Speaker 1: him to do that good cop bad cop stuff. Who
14:04
Speaker 1: will Mam Donnie bring with him? The one thing about Trump,
14:07
Speaker 1: when he invites you to a meeting or invite you
14:08
Speaker 1: to White House, a lot of times he'll say, you know,
14:10
Speaker 1: you'll get these invitations. It'll say come to lunch, come
14:13
Speaker 1: to the White House meetings, and bring whoever you want.
14:15
Speaker 1: So I'm sure Mam Donnie got one of those. So
14:18
Speaker 1: we'll see who goes with him. It'll be interesting to
14:21
Speaker 1: see who he wants to be with him in the
14:24
Speaker 1: Trump meeting. Trump has said, actually, where's the announcement here?
14:30
Speaker 1: Even when he announced the whole thing on truth social
14:33
Speaker 1: this is how he wrote it. Communist Mayor of New
14:35
Speaker 1: York City zoron quame, Mam Donni has asked for a meeting.
14:39
Speaker 1: We have agreed the meeting will take place Friday, November
14:42
Speaker 1: twenty first details to follow, but he calls him communist
14:45
Speaker 1: mayor of New York. He has said about him though,
14:50
Speaker 1: he said the guy's got good political skills. He said
14:55
Speaker 1: he's slick. He's a good talker. Now a couple of
14:59
Speaker 1: inch and things are happening, you know, mom, Donnie is
15:02
Speaker 1: starting to backtrack a lot. He's going to keep Jessica
15:06
Speaker 1: Tish as the police commissioner. That's a good sign. And
15:10
Speaker 1: this is not getting a lot of attention, but he's
15:12
Speaker 1: quietly backtracking on a lot of stuff. Yesterday he did
15:15
Speaker 1: say the NYPD should respond to domestic violence incidents. You know,
15:21
Speaker 1: this is the one where he wanted the social workers.
15:24
Speaker 1: So apparently this is part of the agreement with Jessica Tish.
15:26
Speaker 1: He's now saying police should respond to domestic violence incidents
15:32
Speaker 1: and he's kind of counting people. Well, that has not
15:34
Speaker 1: been part of the proposal we put forward over there,
15:37
Speaker 1: so he's backtracking on that now. Apparently in the meeting
15:39
Speaker 1: with Tish, what did happen was he started to agree
15:43
Speaker 1: on things with her. You know, we'll let the police
15:45
Speaker 1: do what the police do. My crazy stuff about the
15:48
Speaker 1: social workers and all that will do that separately in
15:50
Speaker 1: another place, and he's going to create a Department of
15:53
Speaker 1: Community Safety, so all his socialist, crazy left wing kookie
15:58
Speaker 1: nonsense social workers handling, he'll do it in that department
16:02
Speaker 1: and leave the NYPD alone. So that's good news. He
16:05
Speaker 1: is backtracking a little. And you know, I've always been
16:08
Speaker 1: saying maybe he's I mean, we think he's a con man.
16:11
Speaker 1: Maybe he's been counting the left, you know, this whole
16:15
Speaker 1: socialism stuff, because people are starting to notice he's begging
16:19
Speaker 1: for money. He's got a transition, a team, a transition committee,
16:23
Speaker 1: and you can donate to a transition. But he's raised
16:26
Speaker 1: a million dollars for you know, a local New York
16:29
Speaker 1: City transition. That's about all you need. But he's running
16:33
Speaker 1: more ads all over social media everywhere, begging for more money.
16:37
Speaker 1: This is after he's raised a million, which is more
16:39
Speaker 1: than he's ever going to need. He's still begging for money,
16:43
Speaker 1: telling supporters, you know, we got to please donate, we
16:47
Speaker 1: need more. What happened to everything's going to be free?
16:51
Speaker 1: So apparently this is ridiculous, out of control money begging
16:56
Speaker 1: might be a sign of things to come. Maybe he's
16:58
Speaker 1: just in there to get rich and prosper and who knows,
17:01
Speaker 1: who knows what this guy's really up to. Hey, by
17:03
Speaker 1: the way, his free bus is nonsense. If you look
17:06
Speaker 1: at New York City buses as they are driving around,
17:09
Speaker 1: when they open the doors, you know they have that
17:11
Speaker 1: sign with the letter. You know, they can put up
17:14
Speaker 1: whatever they wanted to say. Usually it says this bus
17:17
Speaker 1: headed to one hundred and eighty nine. Most of these
17:20
Speaker 1: buses now have to put up on that sign fair required.
17:24
Speaker 1: Apparently these idiotic left wing democrats think it's already free,
17:28
Speaker 1: so on the buses they have to put up this
17:30
Speaker 1: sign fair required, Fair required. Hey, we'll take some calls.
17:34
Speaker 1: Next eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is
17:37
Speaker 1: the number eight hundred three to two one zero seven
17:40
Speaker 1: ten in Mark on Demand by setting a preset for
17:44
Speaker 1: his podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Now back to Mark
17:48
Speaker 1: Simone on wor Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go
17:54
Speaker 1: to uh Jacob in Queen's Jacob. How you doing?
17:58
Speaker 6: Hey?
17:58
Speaker 1: Good money A good.
18:01
Speaker 11: Every time I moved in New York City, every apartment
18:04
Speaker 11: I got, I got like you do five and ten
18:08
Speaker 11: voter stuff for the people who used to live there.
18:10
Speaker 11: This year they made it change, so they put a
18:12
Speaker 11: barcode out. So it used to be if let's say
18:14
Speaker 11: someone wants to vote on someone else's name, when it
18:16
Speaker 11: used to be the paper mass that you would come
18:18
Speaker 11: there and they would they would look up your name
18:21
Speaker 11: in a book. You know, you have to memorize the
18:23
Speaker 11: name now as a barcode, So they send out before election,
18:26
Speaker 11: they actually send up a booklet with a barcode, and
18:30
Speaker 11: you come there and they scan it and write away
18:31
Speaker 11: the name and the address all populated. So you have
18:34
Speaker 11: now a situation where we have millions of these booklets
18:38
Speaker 11: being madiled to have before elections, and the people don't
18:41
Speaker 11: even live there, and anybody can just go with all
18:43
Speaker 11: these bookloats and vote. You don't even need to memorize
18:45
Speaker 11: the name or anything.
18:46
Speaker 1: And oh yeah, no, we have the world's sloppiest devoting
18:49
Speaker 1: system here in New York City deliberately for a lot
18:51
Speaker 1: of reasons. It allows for a lot of shenanigans to
18:54
Speaker 1: go on. Let's go to Mike and Saint James, Mike,
18:57
Speaker 1: how you doing good?
18:59
Speaker 5: Walk? When they want to terminate a late nick comedian host,
19:05
Speaker 5: don't they have to worry about paying him full length
19:09
Speaker 5: of his contract.
19:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Kimmel's contract is just about up. They
19:14
Speaker 1: did this with Colbert. His contract still goes till May,
19:16
Speaker 1: so you got to pay off the last year. But
19:18
Speaker 1: they don't mind doing that. You can pay him off.
19:22
Speaker 1: But if he's causing you problems, if he's costing you
19:25
Speaker 1: trouble with the FCC, if he's causing you trouble with sponsors, boycotts,
19:29
Speaker 1: it's worth paying the guy off. Look at Megan Kelly.
19:31
Speaker 1: How many times has she been paid off to leave early?
19:34
Speaker 1: I think she's made a total of thirty millions getting
19:37
Speaker 1: paid off by various networks to leave. It's a good
19:40
Speaker 1: business to be and getting paid to leave. Let's go
19:43
Speaker 1: to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing. Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.
19:48
Speaker 5: Isn't it a little bit ironic that Jeffrey Epstein was
19:50
Speaker 5: a resident of the Virgin Islands.
19:55
Speaker 1: Well, he had an island that he bought somewhere. And
19:59
Speaker 1: you've got to be really a bad guy if you
20:00
Speaker 1: need to do it on an island, a private island.
20:03
Speaker 5: So, you know, I wanted to say that I have
20:06
Speaker 5: a friend and I hear pundit say that, you know,
20:08
Speaker 5: why does Trump have to fight these personal battles, you know,
20:12
Speaker 5: with Jimmy Kimmel or Mont whoever. And it's like, because
20:15
Speaker 5: he's the only one who does it, his party doesn't
20:18
Speaker 5: defend him the way the Democrat parties would defend any Democrat,
20:22
Speaker 5: don't be Jasmine Crockett, you know the one, you know,
20:25
Speaker 5: the you know. So it's like he's a it's a
20:28
Speaker 5: one man war against his vast machine.
20:32
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, now that's a good question. People ask all
20:34
Speaker 1: the time, why does he just let go? They would
20:36
Speaker 1: like every president to act like George W. Bush, who
20:39
Speaker 1: was the same problem. The media went after him, fake news,
20:42
Speaker 1: they hated him, and he was always very dignified and
20:45
Speaker 1: formal and didn't respond. Yeah wait did to get him exactly.
20:49
Speaker 1: So thanks for calling. You know, I don't know, most
20:54
Speaker 1: of us can't behave like Trump. You just wouldn't do
20:56
Speaker 1: it. It's too much. Who could who has the energy or
20:59
Speaker 1: the thick skin to bead be like him all day night.
21:02
Speaker 1: But that's the way he is. And again, it was
21:04
Speaker 1: George W. Bush. And every comedian's attacking you, and they're
21:08
Speaker 1: calling you dumb, and they're calling you a war criminal.
21:11
Speaker 1: You know, you just act dignified, very polite, very formal.
21:14
Speaker 1: But that's not Trump. Trump believes punchback. Every time anybody
21:18
Speaker 1: comes out, you just punch whatever they do, punch back
21:21
Speaker 1: twice as hard do it constantly seems like a lot
21:25
Speaker 1: of effort and energy. And it seems to us, like
21:28
Speaker 1: you said, who could behave like that? But but look
21:31
Speaker 1: at Trump. The guy goes into real estate, becomes the
21:34
Speaker 1: most famous real estate developer in the world. He's a
21:37
Speaker 1: total amateur. When he goes into television, two minutes later,
21:40
Speaker 1: he's got the number one show in television. He's a
21:43
Speaker 1: total amateur. Goes into politics. How many times you've seen
21:46
Speaker 1: an amateur try to run for governor, try to run
21:50
Speaker 1: for mayor, or try to run for congress, total amateur.
21:53
Speaker 1: They don't usually get anywhere. Trump total amateur. First time
21:57
Speaker 1: he runs, he's President of the United States. Just like
21:59
Speaker 1: that gets real. So and look at go back to
22:03
Speaker 1: last year. The guy's indicted in four different cities, he's
22:07
Speaker 1: convicted of six thousand felonies, he's shot at and despite
22:11
Speaker 1: all that, he wins again he's president. So that whole
22:15
Speaker 1: Trump method, that hold Trump behavior, Obviously it works. Obviously
22:20
Speaker 1: you got to have the talent for it and the
22:22
Speaker 1: thick skin for it. But he's made it work. Hey,
22:24
Speaker 1: when we come back, the great economist Steve Moore will
22:27
Speaker 1: give us the truth about the affordability crisis and all that,
22:32
Speaker 1: and about Mom Donnie and his way of trying to
22:36
Speaker 1: fix the affordability crisis, how bad it is. We'll get
22:39
Speaker 1: to that next on seven to ten wor the Marks

Speaker 1: Prosperity dot com. Steve Moore, how you doing.
23:16
Speaker 5: Hey, Mark, I'm doing well.
23:17
Speaker 6: We got a pretty good job this morning. I was
23:19
Speaker 6: surprised I was on with Maria this morning. I'm Maria
23:24
Speaker 6: Rodoroma and at Jobs Report, came out and I draw
23:27
Speaker 6: just dropped. It was a lot better than expected. We
23:29
Speaker 6: had over one hundred thousand jobs and that was about
23:31
Speaker 6: twice as many as we're expected, and so that was good.
23:35
Speaker 6: And the wages were up for workers, which is really important.
23:39
Speaker 6: And so you know, all the doom and gloom, I
23:42
Speaker 6: don't know where it's coming from.
23:43
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what you were seeing. I was
23:45
Speaker 1: watching Morning Joe, and apparently we have inflation raging. It's
23:48
Speaker 1: out of control.
23:49
Speaker 6: And you know, we have a report that we just
23:54
Speaker 6: came out with at Unleashed Prosperity, and it's in our
23:56
Speaker 6: hotline today. The eighty seven and a half percent of
23:59
Speaker 6: the inflation that people are complaining about, eighty seven and
24:02
Speaker 6: a half percent of it happened. I guess under what president?
24:07
Speaker 1: That's too easy a question, Biden.
24:12
Speaker 6: I mean, so if people are angry about prices, as
24:15
Speaker 6: they should be, it's because inflation went through the roof
24:17
Speaker 6: on Biden was president. And Trump is right about this.
24:19
Speaker 6: He said, look, I inherited this mess. I didn't create it.
24:22
Speaker 6: We didn't have any inflation under Trump's first term. Then
24:25
Speaker 6: Biden comes in, and you know, prices go up by
24:27
Speaker 6: twenty two percent, and now people are still angry about it,
24:30
Speaker 6: and they're playing Trump and you know, Trump said he's
24:33
Speaker 6: brought the inflation rate down. Now, prices are not falling,
24:36
Speaker 6: but the inflation rate is falling a lot.
24:38
Speaker 1: Uh, explain the difference. Prices are not down, but the inflation.
24:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, so that people get confused about that. So the
24:45
Speaker 6: inflation rate is, how is the rate of increase in prices? Yeah,
24:49
Speaker 6: and the you know, the price level is you know,
24:52
Speaker 6: the level prices, So you know, to bring prices down,
24:55
Speaker 6: you'd actually have to have you know, negative inflation, you
24:58
Speaker 6: have disinflation. We haven't had displace under Trump, but we
25:00
Speaker 6: have had a much lower rate of inquiry. So the
25:03
Speaker 6: average rate of inflation under Biden was about five percent
25:06
Speaker 6: per year, and so far under Trump it's this this term,
25:10
Speaker 6: it's been about a little under three percent. So that's
25:13
Speaker 6: a big difference. And by the way, and Trump's first term,
25:16
Speaker 6: the average inflation rate was two percent.
25:19
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now you always said, I guess I would ask
25:22
Speaker 1: you this all the time. If you guys, if Trump
25:25
Speaker 1: takes office, how long before we can fix it? You said,
25:28
Speaker 1: at least a year, year and a half. There's nothing
25:31
Speaker 1: the president could have done in the first six months.
25:33
Speaker 1: It would have been any different, we would have brought
25:35
Speaker 1: it down anymore.
25:36
Speaker 6: Is there. Well, you know, first of all, we don't
25:39
Speaker 6: want we don't want negative inflation. We want we don't
25:42
Speaker 6: want you know, prices falling because that's actually bad for
25:46
Speaker 6: the economy. You want. What you want in a good
25:47
Speaker 6: economy is stable prices, so that you know, the dollar
25:50
Speaker 6: can buy today, what it can buy tomorrow, it could
25:52
Speaker 6: buy yesterday. And so what Trump is giving us is
25:55
Speaker 6: stable somewhat stable prices, not exactly.
25:57
Speaker 1: And Biden, let it.
25:59
Speaker 6: Biden had the biggest inflation since Jimmy curR.
26:03
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, hit nine percent at one point.
26:07
Speaker 5: Yep.
26:08
Speaker 1: When the yellow screen about tariffs, if you put tariffs
26:10
Speaker 1: on these companies, it's going to cause a big pricing.
26:15
Speaker 1: Isn't raising corporate tax basically the same thing as a tariff,
26:17
Speaker 1: Wouldn't they have the same exact effect.
26:20
Speaker 6: Good point, you know. So it is true that if
26:22
Speaker 6: you have a tariff on something like coffee beans, like
26:25
Speaker 6: we did on Brazilian and Colombian coffee beans, that the
26:28
Speaker 6: price of coffee may go up a little bit, and
26:30
Speaker 6: it did. But by the same logic, if you reduce
26:34
Speaker 6: the taxes on companies. That reduces inflation. So most of
26:39
Speaker 6: what Biden trumps John, you look at the tax cut,
26:43
Speaker 6: you look at the the reduction and the regulatory cost
26:47
Speaker 6: on businesses. If you look at what's happening with it,
26:49
Speaker 6: if you looked at the gas, well, you live there
26:51
Speaker 6: in New York, so you're probably paying you know, three
26:54
Speaker 6: to four dollars a gallon there, but most parts of
26:56
Speaker 6: the country are now paying about two to eighty nine
26:59
Speaker 6: a gallon. And it was its highest five dollars a
27:01
Speaker 6: gallon under Trump, I mean under Biden.
27:04
Speaker 1: So if you mount Donnie, you said, I'm gonna do
27:05
Speaker 1: something about this affordability crisis. I'm going to increase taxes
27:08
Speaker 1: on the corporations. That has got to be the worst
27:11
Speaker 1: logic I've ever heard. Wouldn't that just get the.
27:13
Speaker 6: Opposite exactly, because if you tax the companies, that's why
27:17
Speaker 6: terrorists raise inflation, because because you put you know, those
27:21
Speaker 6: costs all get passed on to the consumer. And by
27:23
Speaker 6: that same logic, if you're going to have a higher
27:25
Speaker 6: business tax and more regulation and all these new costs
27:28
Speaker 6: on businesses, guess who's going to pay for that? The
27:31
Speaker 6: consumer will?
27:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, You've studied this. If there is an affordability
27:35
Speaker 1: crisis and you look around the country where it is,
27:38
Speaker 1: it's located in the blue cities, isn't it.
27:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's amazing, Yes, exactly right. So if you look
27:44
Speaker 6: at the five states with the highest cost of living
27:47
Speaker 6: where inflation is most out of control, it's New York,
27:50
Speaker 6: New Jersey, Connecticut, California, and Massachusetts, Oh, and Illinois. So
27:55
Speaker 6: there's six states with and then if you look at
27:57
Speaker 6: the southern states, there's almost you know, those have much
28:00
Speaker 6: much lower, you know, costs. So if you want a
28:03
Speaker 6: lower cost of living and you're worried about affordability, you
28:07
Speaker 6: might want to move to a red state. Hey look,
28:12
Speaker 6: I'm not I know most people won't. But my point is,
28:14
Speaker 6: what you don't want to do what you wanted. If
28:17
Speaker 6: you're like out there advocating for policies, you don't want
28:20
Speaker 6: to advocate the policies the Blue states have put into
28:22
Speaker 6: effect because those are the kind of policies that raise prices.
28:26
Speaker 6: When you raise taxes, you raise prices.
28:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, so a guy like Mam Donnie seems to be
28:33
Speaker 1: a very smart guy, seems to be a very bright guy.
28:37
Speaker 1: So how could he not know that every time you
28:39
Speaker 1: try these tactics, the socialist stuff, it always always always backfires.
28:44
Speaker 1: Does he just not know that or does he know
28:46
Speaker 1: it and doesn't care?
28:49
Speaker 6: You know, it is the strangest thing what you're describing
28:52
Speaker 6: is that some otherwise smart people. I was in California
28:56
Speaker 6: this week Without Laugher, the godfather of the Laugher Curve,
29:00
Speaker 6: and we were in southern California. We were talking about,
29:04
Speaker 6: you know, the laughter curve. And then you know, when
29:07
Speaker 6: you tax to get too high, you reduce the output
29:10
Speaker 6: of goods and services, You people move away, et cetera,
29:12
Speaker 6: et cetera. And we had all the evidence and people
29:15
Speaker 6: were looking at us like, well, then why do we
29:17
Speaker 6: have taxes so high here in California. I'm like, yeah,
29:19
Speaker 6: now you're getting it. You know. So the idea that
29:22
Speaker 6: you're going to raise tax on rich people and give
29:25
Speaker 6: all this other stuff away for free in New York,
29:28
Speaker 6: that's the Montominie, you know formula that is going to
29:32
Speaker 6: lead to you know, as you know, it'll lead to
29:34
Speaker 6: a lot of wealthy people leaving the city, and it
29:37
Speaker 6: will lead to higher costs and post on everyone else.
29:40
Speaker 6: So affordability is going to go down. It won't go up,
29:43
Speaker 6: and by the way, things will be free. It's just
29:45
Speaker 6: that when you go to the grocery store there won't
29:47
Speaker 6: be a lot of it'll be like the old Soviet Union.
29:49
Speaker 6: You know, bred is really cheap. Here's just we.
29:51
Speaker 1: Don't have any Steve Moore here. See, we're gonna stump
29:55
Speaker 1: you with this question. Can you name anything, any business,
29:57
Speaker 1: any enterprise where it got cheaper when the government and
30:00
Speaker 1: took it over, like exactly.
30:03
Speaker 6: You know that this is this is a great point
30:05
Speaker 6: you're making, Mark, which is that if you look at
30:07
Speaker 6: the things that are really exploding costs, two of the
30:09
Speaker 6: biggest items are tuition for college and high schools and
30:15
Speaker 6: uh and of course healthcare. You know, healthcare is exploding.
30:18
Speaker 6: We just got our statement. We're going to see a
30:20
Speaker 6: thirteen percent increase in our premiums next year. Now, gee, wiz,
30:22
Speaker 6: who runs the who runs the schools, and who runs
30:25
Speaker 6: the healthcare system? Oh yeah, the government does.
30:29
Speaker 1: So if you're trying to get the price down, you
30:31
Speaker 1: have to get your costs down in the supermarket business.
30:34
Speaker 1: Who would you trust more are John Katzmatidis or the
30:36
Speaker 1: government to run it at a good point?
30:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, And it's it is interesting because you know,
30:41
Speaker 6: when you have competition, you know, prices fall, that's you know,
30:45
Speaker 6: that's the beauty of the free market system. But when
30:48
Speaker 6: government takes over an industry, you notice they create amopoly.
30:50
Speaker 6: You know, I resont we hate monopolies except wait, we
30:53
Speaker 6: don't like we like monopolies when the government runs them.
30:56
Speaker 6: But these healthcare costs, I mean they're unbelievable. I mean
31:00
Speaker 6: people I've had friends call me say the next year
31:02
Speaker 6: there that they're premius to go twenty percent. And I'm
31:05
Speaker 6: confused by that mark because it just seems like yesterday
31:08
Speaker 6: Barack Obama sold us on the Affordable Care Act.
31:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's affordable. You need a subsidy, but it's affordable. Well,
31:17
Speaker 1: great stuff. Everybody gets Steve Moore's book, The Trump Economic Miracle.

Speaker 1: You'll learn a lot from that book. And this hotline
