• 0:46
  Speaker 3: could not have been nicer. Guys, So that's a little
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: bit of an idditt to what you just mentioned before.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Right now, when you say your girlfriend's a little woke,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: what does that mean? How woke is she?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Well, you know she's she's not voting for my guy,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you that. But it's okay along very well, yea.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: But I just said I share that with you. You
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: and I met a couple of a couple of months
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: ago and said Jay House.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: That's Tony. Tony's restaurant at Jay House, the biggest hot
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: spot of Greenwich. Of course there's Pulto, there's a scale.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: But Tony, very good, thanks for calling. Let's go to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: uh Rich and Myrtle Beach Rich. How you doing?
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Thank Mark voting away his If she's not voting away
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: he at least I hope she's super hot, you know.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: But well I didn't want to. I didn't want to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: say it. But obviously this woman is super hot. If
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: this guy is putting up with the woke craft, she
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: must look great.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: You know. I want to prefer Trump behind the desk.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: And in one paragraph he says that harmu straight has
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: nothing to do with our oil. And in the next
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: paragraph he says the price of oil and gas is
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: up because of almost truth, because of the straight. So
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: somebody who wrote that speech should have double checked that.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: No, it is no, it's correct. See what happens is
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: we don't get any oil from there. There's no reason
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: for us to pay anymore because we got we make
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: our own straight. So home thiss doesn't affect us. But
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: it's these oil guys that these jr Ewings that run
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: all the oil companies. They all conspire that our oil
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: is that's right West Texas Intermediate. They'll claim, well, we
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: have to raise it because the world market they raise
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: it anyway. So he could step in and do something,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: but it's going to be over.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: I hope he does.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I hope he does. No reason to it. It'll be
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: over in three weeks, no reason that you know.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: As far as NATO is concerned, you brought up a
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: good point. They're totally feckless. They're useless. They have a
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: war on their own continent for the first time since
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: World War Two, and they can't deal with any of
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: it on their own without the US help. They're terrible.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: They're like babies.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they're absolutely worthless. You're right, we got to
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: get out of NATO. Also, you know these organizations, the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: United Nations, nineteen forty eight, it was created. It's been
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: over there for nineteen forty eight. How many years is
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: it's like eighty something years. Name one thing they've ever
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: done for anybody anything, United Nations. Get rid of that
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: whole place, close it down, get rid of NATO. Let's
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: go to David Long Island. David, how you doing.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: I'm good, but I do think there's a reason to
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: stay in NATO. But it's not because our allies are
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: dependable or anything like that. The reason we should stay
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: in NATO is because by treaty, it forces this country
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: to spend five of GDP on defense.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: If we ever have a.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Democrat Democrat administration in the future, they will gut our
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: military down to nothing and we will be butt naked
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: if we ever need.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. But remember under Biden, under Jimmy Carter,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: we did gut the military even though we were NATO members,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: So you could still gut it anyway. They just spend
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the money.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Do you think you can gut it? But you can't
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: with China building ships like crazy.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm not saying you should. I'm just
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: saying it is possible. They did it under Jimmy Carter,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: they do it under Biden. You still have to spend
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the five percent. It's a NATO rule. But what they
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: do is instead of building planes and ships and tanks
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to spend the money on diversity programs, diversity training, They'll
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: just spend it differently. That's the problem. Let's go to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Bill in Hamburg, New Jersey. Bill, how you doing good?
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Mark, thank you. A quick word about the moonshot you
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: have today. First of all, the camera covers was terrible.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: I was very disappointed about that. But when I lived
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: in Florida, I used to go to moonshots berk shiding,
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: the ground is vibrating, the water in that lake is
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: shimmering and shivering. But I'm asking myself a question from
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: when I used to go to them back in the
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: late sixties, fifty years later, what the hell have I
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: benefited from any moonshots? And what will I benefit this one?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: You actually have benefited a lot from the space programs
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: because they've invented a ton of stuff in the space
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: programs that helped us lay. That's where my crow waves
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: were invented, MRIs were invented. There's a list you can
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: go online and find it by like two hundred important
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: inventions that came as a result of the space program.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: So that's now. Some people will argue that's in the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: sixties seventies. You don't really need that anymore because Silicon
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Valley and Apple and all the tech companies they're now
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: doing stuff that comes out with all these inventions. So
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: without some people will argue, if you look at the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: last twenty years, more inventions have come from those tech
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: companies than from the space program. I think the most
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: fascinating thing is nineteen sixties, seventies. You're watching the rocket
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: takeoff the capsule. What it looks like, What the rocket
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: looks like. It's a billion years later, it's twenty twenty six.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I'm watching this just a little rocket looks exactly the same.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: It's the same looking capsule. Nothing changed in fifty years
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: since the last time you went to the moon. Same
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: look of everything. You think it would look like a
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: tesla or something. You think it would look entirely different. Now, Hey,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: when we come back, Steve Moore. We hope Steve Moore
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: will be with us next lots to talk to him
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: about what about these oil prices, gas prices, stock market.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: We'll get to all of that in a moment. On
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: seven to ten, wor
