  Speaker 2: Very good, Mark Lou. I wanted to bring up the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: point that all the goods in the country are still
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a little bit high. Everybody's complaining, well, not all of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the them.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Prices have come down on a lot of things.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well there's a there's a way President Trump could
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: even bring him down. Quicker. Stop the federal exercise tax
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: on diesel. Feel Everything in the country ships by diesel fuel.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Trains run on diesel, field boats run on diesel field
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: trucks run on diesel fuel. You cut the federal excise tax,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: everything will come down because they will pass that on
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to the consumers.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Well, y'are absolutely right, that's a good point. But more
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: than that, the biggest tax are the local state taxes
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: on gasoline. You know, if you go around the country,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: gas is really cheap. Now we're getting cheaper, it's like
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: two sixty nine, but if you're in New York it's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: still three to ninety. Again, that's because of all the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: local taxes. New York and California still have these high
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: gas prices because the tax you know, when you buy
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a gallon of gas, if it's three fifty, the gas
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: station gets like four cents out of that three fifty.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: The rest is all these taxes and Razil, Yeah, just
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: cut the state local taxes too. Let's go to h.
• 1:51

  Speaker 1: That's not that old. That's the age of the president.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's not that all right, it's as old
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: as I've ever been. Let's put it down, all right.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Where are you in Westchester?
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Up around Yorktown?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Yorktown is very nice, Yorktown Heights. I love that place. Yeah,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: but you got Uncle Giuseppe's up there, one of the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: great supermarkets in the tri State there.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so indeed they do. But listen, I got
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: some really troubling news. I run a small charity. Yeah,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: and we've been working on climate change. So nineteen ninety nine.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: What are you working on trying to get more climate change?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Well, we were trying to figure out the problem. We
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: were like everybody else is running around complaining about the weather. Well,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: it's getting hotter, the ice is melting, the ocean's rising,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: oh YadA, YadA, YadA. But then in twenty nineteen we
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: figured out, my goodness, we're looking at this and entirely
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the wrong way. We should not be worried about the
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: weather or the melting ice.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Or the rising for first of all, the season only
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the seas aren't rising, the ice isn't melting. Everything's fine.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Go back and watch the al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Watch it. Now everything he predicted never came true.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's because al Gore, like everybody else, was
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: looking at the problem the wrong way.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: No, it's because they were looking to make money off it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: It's a President Trump is right, the Green scheme. Ocean's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: not rising. Every Democrat they buy houses right on the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: ocean all the time. Okay, the ice is not melting.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You're in New York Town. You don't even have water
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: near you. Don't worry.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: All right, I'll tell you what. I'll let you go
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: because if you believe that stuff is true, I don't
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: think I've got the right audience.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: No, you definitely don't. The fact that the hey, you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: there's a great ABC News piece from two thousand, yeah,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: around two thousand where they said Manhattan will be underwater
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: by twenty fourteen. And again the al Gore movies are great.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Everything he predicted never came true. Everything John Kerrey never
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: never came true.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well, very good, then take it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: You can't convince these people of anything. Do you remember
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that ocean's rising. There's another great I think it's CBS
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Dan Rather. You can find these videos if you go online.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It was a piece on how Florida's going to be
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: underwater by the year twenty twelve. And while they do
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: these things, tell you the sea is rising, beaches are
