- 0:36Speaker 1: The President is going to the White House Correspondence Dinner
- 0:41Speaker 1: tomorrow night. This is the first time ever as president
- 0:44Speaker 1: he'll go to the White House Correspondence Dinner. It's obviously
- 0:49Speaker 1: in Washington, and that means no Palm Beach this weekend,
- 0:53Speaker 1: because the last weekend he had stuff, he couldn't get
- 0:56Speaker 1: to Palm Beach. The weekend before he couldn't get to
- 0:59Speaker 1: Palm Beach. And these old ladies all get dressed up
- 1:03Speaker 1: and they gather in the ballroom of marl Lago to
- 1:06Speaker 1: take a glance at President Trump, take a selfie, yell
- 1:08Speaker 1: and scream. So they were all upset. He's not going
- 1:11Speaker 1: to be there this weekend. Well, they's a light changing
- 1:13Speaker 1: the schedule. I've just noticed. He will go to Palm
- 1:15Speaker 1: Beach this afternoon. There's a RNC political retreat for the big, big,
- 1:21Speaker 1: big donors. So he is gonna about two three o'clock
- 1:26Speaker 1: leave the White House fly down to Palm Beach. He'll
- 1:28Speaker 1: speak at this thing, and then I guess he'll spend
- 1:32Speaker 1: the night in Palm Beach so he can play golf tomorrow,
- 1:34Speaker 1: and then in the afternoon he'll fly back for the
- 1:37Speaker 1: White House correspondence. So it'll be a quick, very quick,
- 1:42Speaker 1: maybe a twenty three hour Palm Beach trip. He's going
- 1:46Speaker 1: to speak at the RNC donor thing, So you old
- 1:50Speaker 1: ladies in the ballroom there at mar Lago, he may
- 1:52Speaker 1: not get to you at dinner. He may he may
- 1:53Speaker 1: not get back till later. Hey, speaking to which you
- 1:56Speaker 1: know they always tell you how bad things are for
- 1:58Speaker 1: the Republicans in the midterms. It really looks bad. Well,
- 2:02Speaker 1: let me just give you the facts. When they show
- 2:04Speaker 1: you the polls, Look how far down Trump is in
- 2:06Speaker 1: the polls. Look how low Republicans are in the polls.
- 2:09Speaker 1: They keep showing you this, they never show you the
- 2:12Speaker 1: Democratic numbers because they're much lower than the Republicans. Democrats
- 2:17Speaker 1: are now at the all time low in the history
- 2:20Speaker 1: of polling as far as favorability. So as bad as
- 2:23Speaker 1: it looks poll wise for Republicans in November, it looks
- 2:28Speaker 1: ten times worse for Democrats in those same exact polls.
- 2:31Speaker 1: They just never give you those numbers. Now here's the
- 2:33Speaker 1: other thing right now, RNC money on hand, donations that
- 2:39Speaker 1: they've got ready to go, one hundred million for the midterms.
- 2:43Speaker 1: They've got one hundred million in the bank right now,
- 2:45Speaker 1: ready to go. DNC Democrats seventeen million. It's a big difference,
- 2:51Speaker 1: huge difference in fundraising. Normally it's the opposite. Normally it's
- 2:55Speaker 1: the Democrats to the kings of fundraising. So Republicans doing much.
- 3:00Speaker 1: But at this thing tonight where the President will come
- 3:02Speaker 1: down there with all these donors, that'll be another twenty
- 3:04Speaker 1: million that goes in there. So Iran, here's the We'll
- 3:08Speaker 1: get to the White House correspondence and we'll go over
- 3:10Speaker 1: that a little later. Iran. The latest is we're in
- 3:14Speaker 1: the middle of these deadlines. The talks will continue straight
- 3:17Speaker 1: of horn Moose, the situation. There is nobody's going to
- 3:21Speaker 1: be using it right now, which is fine for us.
- 3:24Speaker 1: We don't get anything out of the Straight of horn Moose.
- 3:26Speaker 1: We don't need it, we don't get any oil from it.
- 3:29Speaker 1: It's all Europe now. Europe is going crazy because they
- 3:33Speaker 1: totally depend on the Straight of Horn Moose for oil
- 3:36Speaker 1: and they've got some problems. They've only got like four
- 3:38Speaker 1: or five weeks of jet fuel left and then they're out,
- 3:41Speaker 1: so all flight will stop, All airlines will have to
- 3:44Speaker 1: stop in Europe in a couple of weeks. If something
- 3:48Speaker 1: that now, they could buy it from US. They've been
- 3:51Speaker 1: holding off on this, but we produce more oil than
- 3:54Speaker 1: Iran and Saudi Arabia combined. We got tons of oil,
- 4:00Speaker 1: the biggest oil producer and exporter in the world. So
- 4:02Speaker 1: these European nations will have to start buying from US
- 4:05Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks. The straight up Hormouse
- 4:09Speaker 1: is basically secured. The US has hundreds of ships and
- 4:15Speaker 1: destroyers and all sorts of navy there. Fifteen thousand sailors
- 4:20Speaker 1: are there. We've got the whole thing secure now. The
- 4:22Speaker 1: only problem is those what they call mosquito boats, those
- 4:25Speaker 1: little speedboats. There's a lot of them, but they can
- 4:29Speaker 1: come zooming out of a cave on the shoreline at
- 4:31Speaker 1: any point. We have lots of stuff there, from ships
- 4:35Speaker 1: to drones to aircraft that are ready if any of
- 4:38Speaker 1: them appear. If any of them appear, to shoot them immediately,
- 4:43Speaker 1: just blow them to pieces. President has given the order
- 4:47Speaker 1: yesterday's shoot to kill anything you see coming out of
- 4:49Speaker 1: that shore, So one by one we'll have to take
- 4:52Speaker 1: them all out. The other problem is the mines that
- 4:55Speaker 1: are down there. We've got very very very sophisticated mindes
- 5:00Speaker 1: sweepers that we didn't have before. They are working their butt.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Apparently it's a slow process. It's a big area to
- 5:06Speaker 1: cover and it could take weeks of mind sweeping to
- 5:09Speaker 1: clear that up. Here's the President on the strait. We
- 5:11Speaker 1: have total.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Control of the strait, and the fact that it slows,
- 5:15Speaker 2: you know, they would have opened it up. Three days ago.
- 5:17Speaker 2: They came to us and they said, we will agree
- 5:20Speaker 2: to open the straight and all my people were happy.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Everybody was happy except me. I said, wait a minute,
- 5:24Speaker 2: if we opened the strait, that means they're going to
- 5:25Speaker 2: make five hundred million dollars a day. I don't want
- 5:28Speaker 2: them to make five hundred million dollars a day until
- 5:30Speaker 2: they settle this thing.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Yeah, the truth is, we don't say it out loud.
- 5:34Speaker 1: We'd actually like to keep the Straight closed. It totally
- 5:37Speaker 1: bankruptcs Iran and we don't need it for any oil.
- 5:41Speaker 1: We don't use it, so we'd really like to keep
- 5:44Speaker 1: it closed as long as possible. Now, when you watch
- 5:46Speaker 1: the fake news, I'll keep telling you how Iran has
- 5:48Speaker 1: got us over a barrel. They have all the leverage.
- 5:50Speaker 1: All they have to do is wait. They can wait
- 5:52Speaker 1: us out. Their will is greater than ours. There's nothing
- 5:56Speaker 1: more we can do. They can just outweait us. There's
- 5:59Speaker 1: something they're just trying to stall until the Democrats get
- 6:02Speaker 1: back in power. They like those Democrats because Democrats don't attack.
- 6:06Speaker 1: In fact, the Democrats send them palettes of cash billions.
- 6:10Speaker 1: So they're waiting for the Democrats. But you got to
- 6:12Speaker 1: a minimum of a three year wait. Or maybe they're
- 6:15Speaker 1: counting on the midterms, but you're not going to make
- 6:17Speaker 1: it till the midterms. Here's the real truth. They have
- 6:20Speaker 1: absolutely no income with the Straight closed. All their income
- 6:24Speaker 1: really about ninety eight percent of it comes from the Straight. Oh,
- 6:27Speaker 1: hor moose. As long as that's closed, they are totally
- 6:32Speaker 1: cut off. Their whole economy is shut down. Now. It's
- 6:34Speaker 1: been like that for a couple of weeks, and they're
- 6:37Speaker 1: now starting to collapse. Their country is collapsing over. Their
- 6:40Speaker 1: currency is collapsing as a result, they're now into triple
- 6:44Speaker 1: digit food inflation. Triple digit food inflation, the currency is collapsing.
- 6:50Speaker 1: They've lost citizens in the wrack, have lost ninety percent
- 6:54Speaker 1: of their purchasing power. They're losing about fourteen billion a
- 6:59Speaker 1: month in revenue. They've got some cash in the bank,
- 7:03Speaker 1: they're trying to live off that. There is a talk
- 7:06Speaker 1: of US freezing their bank assets. It's some pot we
- 7:08Speaker 1: could do that and keeping an eye on their big
- 7:13Speaker 1: ally is China. Will China try to bail them out
- 7:16Speaker 1: cash wise, if they even were willing to do that,
- 7:20Speaker 1: They're not going to do that for long. So as
- 7:22Speaker 1: long as the straits closed, Iran is in close to
- 7:27Speaker 1: total economic collapse. Now, as long as they can't move
- 7:30Speaker 1: that oil, they've run out of storage space. They got
- 7:34Speaker 1: no place to even store the oil, which means they
- 7:36Speaker 1: got to shut down all their oil fields, shut down
- 7:39Speaker 1: all drilling. Once you do that, you completely screw up
- 7:42Speaker 1: the oil fields. If they stay shut for weeks and
- 7:44Speaker 1: weeks and weeks, they just dry up and get all
- 7:48Speaker 1: screwed up. It can take a year to get them
- 7:50Speaker 1: going again. So we have all the leverage right now.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Now, this crazy mom Donnie, So
- 8:01Speaker 1: you have to understand the mentality of a mom Donnie.
- 8:04Speaker 1: And these supporters, they're these crazy young victims. They went
- 8:10Speaker 1: to Columbia, they went to Harvard, they went to all
- 8:11Speaker 1: these Ivy League places. They got indoctrinated into this crazy
- 8:15Speaker 1: socialist You could explain to them it's never worked. You
- 8:20Speaker 1: could show them, lay it all out for them, document
- 8:23Speaker 1: it where every time socialism is tried they don't care
- 8:26Speaker 1: about that doesn't mean anything to them. They just like
- 8:29Speaker 1: to feel of it, the idea of it. It makes
- 8:31Speaker 1: them feel good. So there's no reality to this. And
- 8:37Speaker 1: all of them, including mom Donnie, they've never run anything.
- 8:39Speaker 1: They've never been managers. They have no idea how you
- 8:42Speaker 1: run it, and they don't care. So he stepped over
- 8:45Speaker 1: a huge line. He crossed the line that no politicians
- 8:49Speaker 1: should ever cross. This whole tax the rich, go after
- 8:54Speaker 1: the billionaires. First of all, it's all a myth. The
- 8:56Speaker 1: rich pay ridiculous amounts, attacked beyond anything they should be paying.
- 9:03Speaker 1: You know, if you're a wealthy guy in New York,
- 9:04Speaker 1: you're paying like fifty eight percent of your income in tax.
- 9:08Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. Would why would you be paying more than
- 9:10Speaker 1: half your income in tax? Also, they're paying billions and
- 9:13Speaker 1: billions and billions and billions. Remember they went after Elon Musk.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Why doesn't he pay his fair share? Let's see his
- 9:21Speaker 1: tax returns. Well, he put them out. It turned out
- 9:24Speaker 1: he paid more tax than anybody in the history of
- 9:27Speaker 1: the world in one year. And one year he paid
- 9:29Speaker 1: like fourteen billion in taxes the all time. I mean,
- 9:33Speaker 1: how much is enough? Fourteen billion. So we got a
- 9:37Speaker 1: very very wealthy guy named Ken Griffin, worth a I'd
- 9:41Speaker 1: say about fifty billion, lives in Chicago. He had a
- 9:45Speaker 1: mayor in Chicago who's one of these crazy nutjob left
- 9:48Speaker 1: wing woke socialist nuts. He who went after him started
- 9:52Speaker 1: targeting him. So Griffin not only moved to Miami, he
- 9:56Speaker 1: left Chicago. He picked he closed his businesses. He had
- 9:59Speaker 1: massive businesses, commercial operations in Chicago that were contributing billions
- 10:05Speaker 1: to the economy. Moved at all to Miami, which really
- 10:08Speaker 1: screwed up the budget, the income and the finances of Chicago.
- 10:13Speaker 1: So this idiot Mamdani decides he'll target Ken Griffin. If
- 10:17Speaker 1: you're the mayor of New York, you can't pick out
- 10:20Speaker 1: a private citizen and target them by name and taunt them.
- 10:26Speaker 1: It's unheard of. It's just a private citizen. I don't
- 10:29Speaker 1: care how wealthy is now. He lives in Miami, this
- 10:32Speaker 1: Ken Griffin, but he has his main apartment at Park Avenue,
- 10:39Speaker 1: the most prestigious building in New York seven to forty Park.
- 10:43Speaker 1: That's incredible. I mean, only the top names of the
- 10:47Speaker 1: world and some of the most prestigious people have been
- 10:50Speaker 1: turned down by that co op board. It's the toughest
- 10:52Speaker 1: building to get into. Griffin has a something like a
- 10:56Speaker 1: forty million dollar apartment there, and the apartment next door
- 11:00Speaker 1: came on the market for twenty million. He quickly bought
- 11:02Speaker 1: it combined it. That's a sixty million dollar, unbelievable apartment.
- 11:08Speaker 1: You'd think that'd be enough for a guy who doesn't
- 11:10Speaker 1: even live here. But then when they built over there
- 11:13Speaker 1: on the Central Park South, they built two twenty Central
- 11:15Speaker 1: Park South and that became now the most prestigious building
- 11:19Speaker 1: in New York. So he bought the most expensive apartment there.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Cost him two hundred and forty million for an apartment
- 11:28Speaker 1: and he doesn't live here. It's basically a hotel room
- 11:31Speaker 1: for when he comes here. Two hundred and forty million.
- 11:34Speaker 1: But it sounds crazy, but these guys are business geniuses.
- 11:38Speaker 1: They buy this stuff because they realize it doesn't cost
- 11:41Speaker 1: them anything. You could always sell it for a profit.
- 11:44Speaker 1: It's not it's like a it's like putting the money
- 11:46Speaker 1: in the bank. He said, well, when why don't you
- 11:48Speaker 1: just put the money in the bank that is the bank.
- 11:50Speaker 1: You know that forty million dollar apartment at Park Avenue.
- 11:55Speaker 1: That's good, he's going to sell that for eighty million.
- 11:57Speaker 1: So it's not a waste of money. You're always going
- 11:59Speaker 1: to make a profit. It's smart business. So anyway, Mam
- 12:02Speaker 1: Donnie decides he'll target him because when he bought that
- 12:07Speaker 1: two hundred and forty million dollar apartments, the most expensive
- 12:09Speaker 1: apartment in New York. So this is this crazy pieta
- 12:13Speaker 1: tear at tax created by the way, by Andrew Cualmo.
- 12:17Speaker 1: He's the one that came up with this. Remember when
- 12:19Speaker 1: he was governor it was one insane thing after another
- 12:22Speaker 1: from him. He created this pieta taar attacks. He couldn't
- 12:25Speaker 1: get it passed, but so they're trying to get it passed. Now.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Now this apartment that Ken Griffin has, the tax on
- 12:31Speaker 1: it is I think it's a millionaire. Maybe it's three
- 12:34Speaker 1: million a year. So he's already paying a ton of tax.
- 12:38Speaker 1: He's got massive business interests in New York, and Mam
- 12:41Speaker 1: Donnie decides he'll target him. So Mam Donnie goes on television.
- 12:45Speaker 1: In this case, in today's world, it's online TikTok, Instagram,
- 12:50Speaker 1: so he's online with one of his videos outside of
- 12:54Speaker 1: Ken Griffin's building. This is the mayor of New York,
- 12:56Speaker 1: not some crazy protests. He's pointing at the building naming
- 13:00Speaker 1: Ken griffinth. You can't go after a private citizen like
- 13:02Speaker 1: this West Pen house. The Touch one CEO Ken Griffin
- 13:06Speaker 1: watt for two hundred and thirty eight million dollars. This
- 13:08Speaker 1: piano tear tax is specifically designed for the richest of
- 13:11Speaker 1: the rich. Yeah, it can't go You're mayor, you can't
- 13:15Speaker 1: target and try to harass a private citizen. It's unheard of.
- 13:21Speaker 1: So obviously Ken Griffin has every right to be met.
- 13:25Speaker 1: He's our biggest taxpayer. He's a very generous guy. This
- 13:29Speaker 1: is not a guy trying to avoid anything. In fact,
- 13:32Speaker 1: the guy's given seven hundred million a year to charities
- 13:36Speaker 1: in New York, seven hundred million a year. And we
- 13:40Speaker 1: also we know if a mayor goes after him, he'll
- 13:42Speaker 1: pull out. He did that in Chicago. He had everybody
- 13:45Speaker 1: pack up the whole business and move it to Miami.
- 13:47Speaker 1: So he's targeting this guy, and the guy's got a
- 13:52Speaker 1: right to respond. You know, he's about to build a
- 13:54Speaker 1: massive skyscraper at fifty second and Park Avenue. It's going
- 13:59Speaker 1: to be a huge skyscraper. It'll take about five years
- 14:03Speaker 1: to build. This skyscraper will have six thousand highly paid
- 14:09Speaker 1: construction jobs, and then when it opens, fifteen thousand people
- 14:14Speaker 1: will have jobs in this building. He's creating this thing. Well,
- 14:18Speaker 1: since this Mom Damie attack, he says, now we have
- 14:20Speaker 1: to decide if we should move forward. We might move
- 14:23Speaker 1: it out in New York. This would have been billions
- 14:26Speaker 1: in tax revenue. In fact, it's believed that Ken Griffin's
- 14:32Speaker 1: activities business activities in New York result in about three
- 14:35Speaker 1: billion in taxes. So if you're talking about you have
- 14:40Speaker 1: a budget crunch, if you're talking about you have a deficit,
- 14:44Speaker 1: why would you chase away the guy who's your biggest taxpayer,
- 14:47Speaker 1: who's given you a three billion a year. It's absolutely ridiculous,
- 14:53Speaker 1: It's insane. You know, Let's say you ran a restaurant
- 14:58Speaker 1: and you had a couple of guys that were your
- 14:59Speaker 1: big A customers. You know, your good customer comes in
- 15:02Speaker 1: and spends two three hundred bucks. But these guys come in,
- 15:06Speaker 1: they bring a ton of people, they order all these
- 15:08Speaker 1: fancy wines. Their checks are always fifteen thousand, eighteen thousand.
- 15:11Speaker 1: They're the biggest customers you have. Why would you chase
- 15:15Speaker 1: them out of your restaurant? You should cater them. If
- 15:19Speaker 1: you're a mayor of New York, you should call Ken
- 15:21Speaker 1: Griffin invite him to lunch. And so I understand, you're
- 15:25Speaker 1: going to build this building, create six thousand construction jobs
- 15:28Speaker 1: than fifteen thousand permanent jobs. What can the city do
- 15:31Speaker 1: to help you? That's what every other mayor does. Now.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Of course they're also doing it because they want the
- 15:38Speaker 1: guy to write them some checks at campaign time donate.
- 15:41Speaker 1: But if a guy's gonna do this, you're supposed to
- 15:46Speaker 1: call them. Who you know. There was a great Andy Spanno.
- 15:50Speaker 1: I remember he was the County executive of West yester
- 15:53Speaker 1: He was a great at this. I used to talking
- 15:55Speaker 1: about this all the time. Anytime a business was opening
- 15:58Speaker 1: in a massive offices in west he'd call them up,
- 16:02Speaker 1: County executive, let me meet with you. Is there anything
- 16:06Speaker 1: we can do for you? How can we help you
- 16:08Speaker 1: open your business? Anytime they'd get a letter, we're looking
- 16:11Speaker 1: at bringing our business to way, he'd call him up.
- 16:14Speaker 1: He'd meet with them. One time, he didn't even know
- 16:17Speaker 1: who it was. He went and he said, I'll meet you.
- 16:18Speaker 1: I'll pick you up at the airport and show you around.
- 16:20Speaker 1: He did, he'd'd know who it was. Turned out it
- 16:23Speaker 1: was Siemens and they wanted to open like a three
- 16:25Speaker 1: hundred million dollar business in Westchester. I mean it was
- 16:29Speaker 1: That's how you got to You gotta take care of
- 16:31Speaker 1: these people. These are your biggest customers. They pay for everything.
- 16:36Speaker 1: And Mom Donnie did get a thank you note from
- 16:39Speaker 1: Florida Senator Rick Scott who said thank you for driving
- 16:43Speaker 1: people to Florida. For cementing New York City's death spiral.
- 16:48Speaker 1: He says, we're in Florida. When you get your tax
- 16:50Speaker 1: policies right, we see what happens. The state starts booming,
- 16:53Speaker 1: revenue quadruple. So anyway, we'll take some calls in a moment.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
- 17:00Speaker 1: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
