• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Daily Briefing every day. Good stuff, Liz Peak. How you doing?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I'm terrific better for speaking with you?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Hey here that the big drug lords, the cartel bosses
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: were had tears in their eyes yesterday watching these Sunday shows,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: so grateful to the host for sticking up for them,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: defending them in their their narco boats. How much longer
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: do we have to listen to this from the Democrats?
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, Mark, don't you really begin to sort of think?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: What what are the Democrats doing? What do they stand for?
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: As the public looks at the Democratic Party now? They
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: stand for illegal immigration, They stand for effectively embracing recidivism,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: not putting anyone in jail, and all these god awful
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: stories week after week, just like the light trains stabbing
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: the second one again as someone who's been convicted of
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: many times an illegal immigrant, I mean, what are the
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: they embrace fraud. They're opposed twenty six states won't let
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: the federal government look at their SNAP programs and their
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: medicaid programs. Why I mean, fraud is a serious thing.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Hundreds of billions of dollars every year and that is,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: by the way, coming a statistic coming from Joe Biden's
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: administration are lost to waste and fraud by our federal
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: welfare programs. What is it that the Democrats are offering
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: people that they can possibly like and as you say,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the final thing standing up for narco traffickers, that is
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: really a winning argument.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: My god? What is wrong with these people?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So whenever it comes to Democrat's in homeless programs, money
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: seems to have vanished. You remember we had the Deblasi
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: administration with that thrive in dollars billion missing. Now in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: this Somali, Minnesota, Tim Waltz, whatever this is, they're talking
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: about maybe up to eight billion missing. Mom, Donnie is
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: now talking about a homeless program. Does that mean another
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: billion is going to get lost somewhere?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Sure, because among other things, none of these people has
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: real world private sector experience. So you know, I think
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: it was Jamie Dimond yesterday on Maria's Maria Bartiromo show
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: talking about the city is three hundred thousand people, and basically,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: successful mayors are people who can manage. Well, do you
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: think this guy has any management capabilities at all?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Of course he doesn't. He hasn't read, he hasn't run
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a business.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: He hasn't run any Most Democrats, by the way, have
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: never run a business, which is a very interesting differential
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: in my between Republicans and Democrats. When Democrats get fired,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: they get voted out of a job, what do they do.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: They run for another office because they don't know how
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to run a restaurant or build a house or anything practical.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Republicans can go back to farming or running a car
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: dealership or you know name it. I mean, actually, if
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: you look at seriously, what you know congress people and
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: mayors and stuff do after retirement. They either go to
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: work for MSNBC if they're Democrats, or they go to
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Harvard to teach like build a Blasio or Lori Lightfoot,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: or they run for another office. Look at Andrew Cmo.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: He couldn't think of anything else to do, so we
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: ran for mayor of New York. That didn't turn out well.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So what's he going to do.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: He's probably going to find, you know, mayor of Buffalo
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: or something next to run for.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: It's really pitiful. But anyway, Mandani taking on a.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Lot of money to spew at the homeless. You know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: his latest thing on homelessness is he's no longer going
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: to enforce the eradication or the cleaning out of the
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: homeless and captinance. Who does that benefit Mark? Who is
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: really applauding that move? It certainly isn't the residents of
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the neighborhoods where these homeless encampments spring up, because their
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: lives are going to be made a mess by the
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: fact that you're going to have this sprawl of dirty,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: sometimes violent homeless in community that kind of erupts in
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: their midst. It isn't good for the homeless, some seventy
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: percent of whom are drug users or alcoholics because they
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: aren't going to get any treatment. They prefer to live
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: on the street because they can continue to abuse drugs
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: and alcohol. It isn't good for them. Who is it
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: good for? I mean, I really ask that at all sincerity.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Who does he think he's benefiting there?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, here in the radio business, we want
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to do something sometimes we see what happened in other
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: stations did it and they come in with the report
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: forty seven stations did it and the ratings plunged all
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: forty seven times, So we know not to do it. Now.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: In the case of Mamdani and very smart guy, when
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: they show him thirteen other cities did it and was disaster,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: why can't he take in that information and calculate all this.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Well, it's the same thing with rent control, right, rent
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: control has never ever worked anywhere, and so nonetheless, he
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: is very in favor of capping rent increases on subsidized housing,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: even though it has been proven time after time that
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: what you do is disincentivize landlords from putting any money,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: any investment into the housing stock. So basically you end
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: up with worse off, less affordable, and crumbling housing. So
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: to your point, why doesn't he learn from that? Why
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: don't the young people out protesting in favor of socialism
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: learn from the fact that never error has socialism resulted
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: in anything but increase poverty and, by the way, increase
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: wealth disparities. I mean, look at Venezuela, a very good
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: So the answer to your question is because idiologues like
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: mom Donnie don't really ever look at facts. They don't
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: look at common sense answers. They are they are wedded
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: to an ideological approach, whether it's climate change or just
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: social justice or whatever that basically is a failure. But
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: then you know, nobody's around to kind of blame them
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: for the failure usually, so they just kind of go
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: on and do what they want. But it's a fact
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: free zone that Mom Donnie is living in.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Is it just childish? That's like a you know, childish teenager.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Is it something sounds good? They do it. They don't
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: think of the consequences.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: So yeah, yes, because because just what you said, there's
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: no consequences. What are the consequences if he blows a
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: billion dollars over the next four years on homelessness?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Look at Gavin Newsom?
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: How much money has Gavin Newsom spent on homeless projects
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: in California only to see the money disappear, the homeless
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: population continue to grow, et cetera.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Does any It's incredible to me?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: How is it The voters don't say, well, wait a minute,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: didn't you just ask for five billion dollars for that?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Where did that money go? Show us the money show us.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: You know, let's have accountability. There is never accountability. It
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: is mystifying.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: So is the real problem that we don't have legitimate
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: news organizations anymore. If we had real news and media,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: there would be consequences. Newsom would be attached day and night.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: So how do you run a democracy with corrupt news?
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I think that's part of it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I actually think what sort of tragic is we have
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: people who listen to one side or another kind of
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: depending on their politics. They listen to Fox News, they
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: listen to you, or they listen to CNN and MS
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: now or whatever it's called, and people get very little
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: cross fertilization.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I think that's fair, very I read.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you read publications on the other side. A
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: lot of people simply don't. They don't want to know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: they don't want to hear, and you know what, that's
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: not good for our country. I hope at some point
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: there really are news organizations that will cover, you know,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: stories from both sides. I was listening to was it
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Margaret Brennan who interviewed elan Omar yesterday?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: You know, and you just want to kind of put
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: your head through the wall.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: It's like, really you're not going to challenge her on
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: the fact that the Somalis have been perpetuating these frauds.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: But by the way, it's not that big a community.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: If there were hundreds of people, which probably there were
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: involved in scamming of the three different programs, they acted
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: like it was just one three different programs that they
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: took billions of dollars from. Don't you think an awful
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: lot of Somalis knew what was going on? I do,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: And and for her to just sort of accept that, oh, yeah,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Somalis really are the victims here, I don't know, it's
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: pretty discouraging.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: She was funnyes day. Whatever idiotic explanation Omar gave, she
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: just nodded like a bubblehead.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just nodded, right.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I Mean, it's like the best but the best media
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: breakout yesterday was Leslie Stall deciding that Marjorie Taylor Green
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: was the person she needed to interview for sixty minutes.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: So Marjorie Taylor Green, someone who has been totally widely chastised, debunked,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: criticized on the left, loads on the left as being
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: a conspiracy theorist and all the rest. Now she's acceptable
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: because she's gonna blast Donald Trump.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, really, isn't that just incredible?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Pretty pretty transparent thought. Oh my gosh, well, great stuff. Hey,
