• 0:22
  Speaker 3: I'm terrific. Thanks for having me on.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Mark, Hey, uh, where do we even start? The Clintons,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Bill and Hillary have caved in. They will testify before Congress.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I think that's going to go well for them.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Well, it depends, I mean to the extent that they
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: stray into areas where Bill in particular might be challenged
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: on things that he did with Jeffrey Epstein that are
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: not above board.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming they take a fifth.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Amendment option, Probably that they won't get to that point
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: because I don't know that they have anything specific to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: charge them with. It'll certainly be an embarras I think
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: it already is. Look, we know, Mark, we've known for
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: what a couple of years, four years, five years, that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton had a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, that
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: he flew on the Lolita Express, that other friends of Hiss,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: like Wesner, also had a close relationship with Epstein.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I think he's in.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: It very thick and frankly, I've always thought the reasons
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden didn't open the files a because there wasn't
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: much in there to incriminate President Trump, which was disappointing
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the Democrats and still is, but also because
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Clinton's are so embarrassingly tied up with Jeffrey Epstein. And
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it's amazing to me. You know, remember that portrait of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton that hung in Jeffrey Epstein's townhouse, Bill Clinton
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: in a blue dress, red high heels. Tell me why
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: that isn't positive That these guys were in very deep
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: with whatever Jeffrey scene was into.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and not to mention other things will come out,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: for instance, Epstein's major role in creating the Clinton Foundation,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Clinton Clinton Global Initiative. That's not going to look good.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I agree, you know.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I was saying before, but the only thing is Republicans
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: they're not good at these hearings. Democrats can do these
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: hatchet job hearings where they destroy somebody. Republicans aren't good
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: at doing that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Well, they're not as nasty Honestly, I think that's the problem.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: They're not as nasty. But also remember that the liberal
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: media is going to pick and choose what they show,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: so they'll pick and choose kind of milk toast questions
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: from Republicans all these kinds of investigations, and then it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: sort of hotly denying responses from people like the Clintons,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: whereas the you know, if a Democrat's under siege and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: it's being I mean, if a Republican is under siege
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: by a Democrat panel, you're just going to see the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: most horribly sort of undermining content, and so you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: none of it's particularly fair. But look, I think that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the Clintons should tell what they know about Jeffrey Epstein.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, as you say, there were a lot of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: avenues which they traveled together, and I think we all
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: need to know what those were and what the upshot
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of those were.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, anytime the Clinton's avoided a TV camera, you
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: know something's up, something suspicious. Yes, true, So hey, the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: President has made some big changes with Ice that he
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: wants them now to wear bodycam cameras. He wants them
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to maybe not go into cities where they're not welcome.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: It's a good to move on his part, isn't it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I think he's trying to diffuse the situation.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I frankly applaud that look bodycams, as Trump said, if
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: they're not doing anything wrong, then everybody can stop manufacturing
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: accusations against ICE agents that are not legitimate.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: So if you're wearing a body cam, you pretty.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Much you're going to hear a lot about what is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: happening to you, frankly, and there's an awful lot of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: these ICE protesters beating up on these agents, throwing things
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: at them and so forth, obviously insulting them and calling
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: them Nazis and all that kind of stuff.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: So let people hear that. I mean, that'll be now we'll.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Have a proof positive about what they're encountering on a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: day to day basis. And I also am about transparency.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I think the bigger issue mark is this whole idea
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that they're wearing masks, and frankly, they've been so horribly
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: treated and their families have been threatened, people go to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: their homes and harass.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Them and so forth.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I understand one hundred percent why they're wearing masks, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I think it's probably very dangerous for them not to.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: On the other hand, it does have a bad look.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, the look is that they're again trying to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: conceal something do something underhand. And so I really don't
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: know if we're to come out on this, but I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: think the BODYCM thing is completely appropriate.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some people on the left, they like to start
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: these messages and spread them through the conservative world. One is,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the President's messaging is terrible. He better fixes messaging. His
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: messaging is and they get people repeating this all the time.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: You think there's any.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Validity to that, Well, it depends about what I mean.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I wrote something today that was about basically how the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: economy is in very good shape and no one's being
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: told that by Bloomberg, CNBC, etc. Those guys really really
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: have a vested interest in presenting all the economic news
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: in the worst possible light, including the nomination or the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: nomination of Kevin worsh which honestly was hilarious.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: For months we've been told, oh my gosh, Trump's trying
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to undermine the independence of the FED, this is a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: real threat to our institutional order, and how terrible this is.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: That Trump wants more of an influence then he picks
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a guy who's the renowned hawk. The metals prices collapsed
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: because that the market is refuting everything that the liberal
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: media has been saying for months. And now, you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: it looks like interest rates aren't going to go straight
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: down because that really isn't Kevin's normal kind of trajectory
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we're thinking. And they still can't let it go. They
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: still are ranked, you know, warning people about bed independence.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of hilarious, but I also say,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure people don't like to hear this. President
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Trump has got to tell this story straight. He cannot
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: go out and tell people there's no inflation, prices are
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: going down. That's what Joe Biden did, and Joe Biden
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: got cream for it. So Trump doesn't need to do that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden did need to do that. He did not
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: have a good story to tell. Real incomes we're collapsing,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and the Kansas City Fed called it the worst hit
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: to middle class American since the Great Depression. So I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: don't bind the story was not there. President Trump has
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a good story and he should stick to the facts.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: And I know he loves to go.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Off the teleprompter, but these guys writing his speeches put
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: in a lot of good material about productivity and investment
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: in the United States and all this.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: If he just sticks to that and doesn't.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Undermine his own story and credibility by these sort of
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: wild claims, I think he'd be better off.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: But you know what Trump is Trump, He's got his.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Own way of doing things. I just kind of look
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: like everybody. I'm focused on the mid terms. I want
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: this to work. I want there to be a miracle
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and the Republicans to maintain control of the House because
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I do not want to see the end of the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Trump agenda, and I'm worried that that's what we're going
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to be looking at.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Oh well, we'll see. Hey, let's speak. You live in
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the New York City. What do you think Garbage piled
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: up everywhere, snow piled.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Up, growth is mon gross?
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Mo'm Donnie looking bad, Mom, Donnie looking intent.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Look.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: This is someone said it very well on X the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: other day. This is someone like a lot of progressive
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: young campaigners. This is someone play acting as mayor. He
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: thought that all he had to do was make speeches.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Mark.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Imagine someone actually taking over a city of the size
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of New York and the importance of New York and
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: being acting like they're surprised that there's a budget deficit.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: This is actually been on the camp.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Train trail for a year promising all kinds of big
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: time spending. What was he thinking that basically all those
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: projections were wrong? Or he just was too lazy to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: do his homework. I mean everything about this guy is
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: so insincere and fake and shallow. You know, does it
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: surprise me he isn't going to manage the city?
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Well not at all.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, there's all kinds of video of Eric Adams
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: making speeches a year ago saying this is going to
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: be a twelve billion dollar budget deficit.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course we all knew, right, Wow, you knew it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I knew it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Why didn't Mom dot onely know it? Or is he
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: just lying that this is a big sort of conspiracy
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to undermine his mayoral hopes and dreams. I don't think so.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I think he just I actually think that he's too
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: lazy to actually do his homework. For example, talks about
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: rent controls. You can spend thirty minutes investigating and reading
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the history of rent controls to know that it is
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: an absolutely terrible proposition.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: But he's too lazy to do that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. Well, everybody subscribe to a
