• 0:01
  Speaker 1: NOWR presents no Mark some own show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, I got a lot to get to today. We'll
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: get to President Trump, Iran, We'll get to Jerome Powell.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Minnesota. We'll get to uh, we'll get
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to Bruce Blakeman big inauguration yesterday for his second term.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: We'll get to a mom Donnie Hokeel and a whole
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: lot more coming up. So, Hey, I just to clear
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: this Jerome Powell thing. Powell, he's the one that announced it.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: He's the one that held a press conference that the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Trump administration is trying to indict him, and it's clearly
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: law fair and that sort of stuff. Well, uh, Trump
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: administrass not making clear nobody was indicting him. The Justice
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Department had been asking him for information about what could
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: possibly be a crime or just gross negligence. You know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: they were rebuilding the FED building should cost about maybe
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: eight hundred thousand. Instead they spent like three billion where
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: they held did all that money go Justice Department? And
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: he testified it in front of Congress about it, But
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: there were questions brought up by his testimony. So the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Justice Department sending him letters asking him for clarification, asking
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: him for information, and he refused to respond. He never
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: responded to anything. So finally they sent something that said,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: you know, you have to respond to us. You can't
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: just not answer, Otherwise we'd have to seek some legal remedy.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: That's all they said. And then I guess he decided
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to get ahead of it. And he's the one that
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: held a big press conference over the weekend announcing the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Justice Department is trying to indict him, and it's law fare,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and it's unusual for Powell to hold any kind of
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: press conference like that, But he got all dressed up
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and put on his best classes and held this press conference.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: He was trying to get ahead of the whole thing.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: If you're trying to get ahead of it, that implies
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you think it could be a problem. But apparently the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Justice Department making clear nobody was in nobody was doing it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: They were simply trying to get him to answer the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: questions they had about the over spending on the building.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Here's Powell, the threat of criminal charges is a consequence
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: following the preferences of the President.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now there's no truth to that. He's just lying,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: but he's he knows the politics right now. Fake news
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: will go after Trump. So if you allege something against Trump,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: fake news will back you up. We'll play it up.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: But the fact is nobody was threatening to indict him.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Nothing like that was happening. They just simply kept asking
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: him for information over and over again, and he refused
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: to respond to the Justice Department, and finally in one
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: of those letters saying if you just keep refusing, we'll
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: have to take some sort of legal remedy. Nobody said
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: indictment or anything like that. He is The top economists
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in the world agree, he's the worst FED chairman in decades,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the worst FED chairman, just horrible.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: His Caroline Lovitt, the President has every right to criticize
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: the FED chair He is a First Amendment right, just
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: like all of you do. And one thing for sure,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the President's made it quite clear is Jerome Powell is
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: that at his job. As for whether or not Jerome
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Powell is a criminal, that's an answer the Department of
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Justice is going to have to find out.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Now it could be not a criminal, it could
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: be the ridiculous overspending doesn't mean he stole the money.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It could just mean he's the most incredibly incompetent, bumbling
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: idiot in the world and that's how he let the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: cost get way out of control on that FED building.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: But just the worst, absolute worst FED chairman. Now a
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: lot of people think, well, why even bother with him?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: He's gone in two three months. Anyway, he has to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: step down now. Part of the problem is when he
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: steps down his FED chairman, he can remain on the
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: FED board, have a vote, have a lot of influence.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: That's unusual. Usually when a FED chairman leaves, he leaves
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the board as well. They don't know what Powell will do,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: he said, ordinary sort of a guy. But I think
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: they're trying to pressure him to make sure that he
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: not only steps down as FED chairman, but leaves the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: board as well. So now, by the way, Elizabeth Warren
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: made a speech yesterday about the economy, a big economic speech.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know who looks to Elizabeth Warren for economic speeches,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: but she did it and was not bad. Wasn't bad.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: In fact, after the speech, President Trump called her to
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: tell her that he really liked her speech. He was
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: very impressed with it. They had a nice conversation. Now
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you know they're not going to suddenly become great friends.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And who knows why he did it. Maybe you know
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he likes to call his worst enemy, or maybe he
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: thinks by having a nice phone conversation, whether it screws
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: her up even more with the Democrats. That could be
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the reason too. But she got a lot. She was
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: supposed to get a lot of attention from this speech.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: She's supposed to be on Rachel Maddow and Jen Psaki.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But she's not that important anymore in democratic world. They've
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: kind of lost interest in her. They think of her
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: as the past, not the future. So after this big speech,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: in this big move yesterday, what did she get on?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Like the worst thing you can get on at MSNBC,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: like Lawrence O'Donnell at ten o'clock. But here's Warren yesterday.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: We are not short on good ideas and to win,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: every Democrat should be proposing concrete plans for lowering costs.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Sorah mom Donnie came from nowhere and took down a
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: political dynasty. How he ran a campaign tightly focused on
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: the cost of living, with easy to understand platform, free buses,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: freeze the rent, and deliver no cost childcare.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Very easy to understand. Doesn't make any sense, but it's
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: also impossible, but very easy to understand. What political dynasty
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: did he take down? Eric Adams? That was a dynasty.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: The guy couldn't even run for re election. He had
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to drop out. And again, had Cuomo Andrew Cuomo not
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: shown up, the whole thing would have been different. Remember
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: when Cuomo first showed up, it was to scare Eric
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Adams out of the Democratic primary, and it worked. He
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: scared him out of the Democratic primary, convinced him that
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: he had so much money and so much backing Adams,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and had Adam stayed in, Clomo's the world's worst debater.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: He got slaughtered in both debates by Mom Donnie. Had
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Adam stayed in. He's not the most articulate kind of
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the world, but he's colorful, he's charming. He probably would
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: have done better against Mom Donnie and probably would have
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: had the Democratic nomination. But Cuomo loses the Democratic nomination,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: He loses, Democrats reject him. He then stays in the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: race as a third party candidate, and it was the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: weirdest situation I've ever seen. Kurt is a major party candidate.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Curtis is the Republican candidate, and people are telling them,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you have to drop out, you have to drop Why
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: would the major party candidate have to drop out for
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: a guy in some third party? Nobody knows. It didn't
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: make any sense. Hey, Minnesota is going to sue I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: guess the Trump administration for what. I don't know. Let's see,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: this is crazy Mayor Fry. He's their mom, Donnie. Here
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: is Donald Trump should know.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: As long as federal agents are in our city acting
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: unconstitutionally against our neighbors, we will continue to push back
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: with everything we've got.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Now, is what is he talking about? What's unconstitutional? Law enforcement?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Enforcing actual laws that are on the books. I don't
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: think that's unconstitutional. You're allowed to actually enforce the law.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: By the way, federal law supersedes local law. You can
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: make all your sanctuary city crazy laws, but federal law
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Trump's local law. And every legal scholar, the Alan Derschwitz's
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: our best legal scholars say this lawsuit has absolutely no
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: chance of going anywhere. Here's that crazy Attorney General Keith Ellison,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: who should resign immediately. Eighteen billion was stolen in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Somali fraud scheme eighteen billion. You know how much that
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: is for one state? Eighteen billion goes missing, and this
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: guy didn't even notice. Didn't even notice. I mean, you
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: should be embarrassed, as in an Attorney general step down.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: The deployment of thousands of armed mass DHS agents to
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Minnesota has done our state serious harm. This is, in essence,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: a federal invasion of the Twin Cities and Minnesota, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: it must stop.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, that's what democrats, that's what they do. Hysteria,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: hyperbolic nonsense.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: We allege that the obvious targeting of Minnesota, for our diversity,
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: for our democracy, and our differences of opinion with the
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: federal government is a violation of the Constitution and of
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: federal law.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: It sounds great, you just yell all these things, but
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't make any sense. It has no
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: chance in a courtroom. Federal law says you arrest the
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: illegals and you pick them up, and you take them
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: out and get rid of them and take them out
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: of the country. So it's this is ellison. I guess
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: it's the guy behind the lawsuit. And again it has
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: absolutely no chance of doing anything in a courtroom. But
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: These lunatics think it's good for them politically, so they'll
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: they'll keep pursuing it. This the woman Renee Good who
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: was shot. Renee Good. Apparently at the Golden Globe Awards,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: all the celebrities were wearing Renee Good pins on their lapel.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a big thing with these celebrities. At
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: an award show, you always have to have a pin.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: You remember, it was the AIDS pin, it was the
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: breast cancer pin, it was this pin, which is fine,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: but the Renee Good pin. I mean, basically a crazy lunatic.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: And again, who do you know that would I mean,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: if a cop pulled you over, wouldn't you just be nice, polite, cooperate.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I might know somebody who'd give the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: cop a hard time, who'd argue with the cop or
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: yell at it. I might know somebody will do that.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: But who do you know, like Renee Good? Who do
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: you know that if there was a caravan of law
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: enforcement moving up the street, would drive in front of them,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: turn a car sideways, box them in, block them in.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, when cops see that happen, the car pulls
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: up in front, turned sideways, boxes them in. That's usually
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: a sign of an ambush coming. That's like drug cartells
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: do that to wipe out a witness being transported. But
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: who do you know that would have the nerve to
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: do that. You got to be absolutely nuts to do
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: something like that. Though, Hey, yesterday was the second inauguration
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: of Bruce Blakeman. He's the Nassau County executive. Nassau County
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: for the last four years under Bruce Blakeman came the
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: safest crime statistic wise, safest county in America, most successful economically,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: every other measure county in America. He's going to run
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: for governor later this year, has got a good chance,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I think. I mean I would vote from brit for governor.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Being a county executive basically that's being a governor. You're
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the governor of Nassau County. And it's not a little county.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Nasau County is a major county, three million people there.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: It's bigger than some states, one of the biggest, biggest
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: counties in New York and the makeup of it demographically
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: and all of that down party lines resembles New York States.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: So the fact that he won big there twice means
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: he's got a real good shot in New York. The
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: inauguration yesterday phenomenal. He got I would say ten standing ovations.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: He brought in Donald Trump's favorite singers, two great, great singers,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Mary Milburn and Christopher Macio. Those are the two you
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: always sing, the very beautiful baradic voices. Singing at mar
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: A Lago, A big, big ceremony yesterday, a dinner afterwards,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Mia Posto, great restaurant, owned by some nice people. A
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: lot of famous faces there, major political figures, people from
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the business community. Our friend Sid Rosenberg was there. I
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: was there. I came in four years ago. Actually I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: was the MC of the thing, but this year they
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: didn't have an MC like that, so I came in.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't know where to sit, so I said to
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the woman, is there in an assigned seat? She goes,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: let me look at the list. Oh, you're on the dais. Wow.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I felt really honored. I mean on the dais next
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to Bruce Blakeman. But then I thought, uh, oh, I
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: mean it's an honor, but the whole audience is looking
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: at you. You can't look at your phone. You got to
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: pay attention to all the speeches. You can't do anything
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: you have to, but it would turn out to be
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: a great, great ceremony. And people love Bruce Blakeman definitely. Actually,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: if you want to help him, go to Bruce Blakeman
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: for New York dot Com. You want to volunteer, donate
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman from New York dot Com. He's gonna run
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: against Kathy Hokel and he's much more qualified than Kathy Hokele. Now,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hokel is about to make her State of the
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: State speech, and it's interesting. Blakeman is a like kind
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: of a middle of the road common sense I mean,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: he's a Republican, but a real common sense Republican, approaches
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: everything like a businessman. Hokeel tends to. She's like Cuomo.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: She'll go to the left, and if she needs to,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: she'll go to the very far left. Remember people thought
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Cuomo was some sort of moderate. He went so far
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: in the left with his no bail, no jail, closed
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the prisons, let everybody out, all his craziness. Don't be
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: surprised if she does the same thing she thinks right now.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Her thinking is she's gonna have to have Mom Donnie support,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and all the Mom Donnie people behind her. Half the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: votes from New York State are in the City of
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: New York, so she's gonna need mom Donnie. So a
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: lot of people think she'll go no in the State
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: of the State speech way far to the left, and
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: that she's probably going to announce all sorts of anti
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: ice sort of stuff and just sound like a left
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: wing kook. So expect that. Hey, speaking of which Democrats
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: are going to start, you'll see this developed. They're going
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: to start their defund ice movement in Congress, trying to
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: officially defund ice. It's not what American citizens want. They
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: like ice, they like law enforcement, they don't want to
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: defund it. But you know, Democrats, it started years ago
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: with defund the police. It's evolved into in recent times,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: run them over with your car. If they go back
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: to just defund all right, that's not so bad. Now.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: The President in Detroit, Michigan today, he's going to make
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: a big economic speech. There's a big Economic Club of
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: New York. That speech is a very important one. Every year,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, there's an Economic Club of Detroit
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: and Represident goes there to speak. It's considered a very
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: very important event. And President heading there as we speak,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: he'll make a big speech there. He'll tour the Ford Plant.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: So we'll see, we'll talk about we'll get to Iran
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: coming up, we'll get to Oh. One more thing. If
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: you have a Metro card, you know, they don't use
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: him anymore. Metro card. You know it used to be tokens,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: then switched to the Metro card. Now you can just
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: use your phone. Just hold your phone up to the
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: turnstile and you're in. If you have a Metro card,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: do not throw it away. I don't know why, but
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Metro cards are becoming very valuable as collector's items on
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the reseller market. Some are going for up to thirty
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: five hundred dollars. I guess it's just a piece of history.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: But there's a whole bunch of them on I guess
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: eBay and all sorts of places. A twenty twenty five
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: card going for thirty five hundred. Even just the worst
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: listings they're going for one hundred dollars. Do not throw
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: away your Metro card. Keep it. Go online and see
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: what you can sell it for. Hey, if you have
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: an original iPod or the first iPhone from the first year,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I think I still have one somewhere. I've looked online
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: on the ebaying place, so some of those original iPhones
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: are selling for like twenty thousand, eighty thousand. The original
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: iPod I think is going for like a million dollars. Anyway,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three two one
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten
