  Speaker 1: You just heard the news.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Now you'll find out what it all means. Hey, smarts
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: amone on seven tenor Hey, we got a lot to
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: get to today. We're starting early from now on nine
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: to noon, every day, nine to noon. So we'll get
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: to a crazy little doctor Fauci, he's got a lot
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: of legal trouble ahead of him. We'll get to President
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Trump and Janine Piro, the latest on that fight. We'll
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: get to mayor mom, Donnie getting booed off the stage
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: last night. We'll get to hey, there's some AI developments
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: that might change the way you think about it. And
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: we'll get to well, lots of stuff. The Medicaid fraud
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: is out of control. They've discovered a lot of it.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Now here's an important thing that nobody ever talks about. Now,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: this is actual statistics, government statistics. People now pay more
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: in taxes than they do for food, clothing, and shelter.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: So when Democrats are whoever, when they talk about affordability,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the affordability crisis, the main culprit of that is taxes,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: state government, local, federal taxes. It's the number one expense
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: people have. That was never the case before, but taxes
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: have been creeping up, not under Trump so much, but
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: over the years. And the affordability crisis is pretty much
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: caused by taxes. Let me just repeat that we pay
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: more in taxes. People pay more in taxes than they
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: do for food, clothing, and shelter. Over about a twenty
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: year period, income tax has gone up about sixty percent.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Corporate tax has gone up about one hundred and twenty percent.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: That's passed on to the consumers. Now, this is from
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. You're paying more in
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: taxes than ever before, ever before. It is out of control.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Now one reason for that is government spending is out
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: of control. Now, if you cut you could actually just
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: fix government spending, not completely, just fix a lot of
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it like Elon Musk was doing. And then you could
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: cut everybody's taxes in half, everybody's taxes down fifty percent,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and you wouldn't. I mean, most of this is just
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: wasting fraud, that medicaid fraud that's going on. They just
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: started looking at it. The Vice President's task force just
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: started looking at it, and already they found a quarter
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: of a trillion dollars just being wasted. Here's the Vice President.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: That we have been able to identify two hundred and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: thirty billion dollars of fraud just since.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: The Fraud Task Force was set up.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And that's frankly, by conservatively estimating it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so give it another few months, it's going to
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: be five hundred billion. And if they keep going for
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: another year, they'll probably find close to a trillion dollars
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: in total fraud. Medicaid fraud, now, these are medicaid payments
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that are sent out to these centers that put in
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: for these government reimbursements. I don't know why the government
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: does and hasn't done this, but some reporters, usually freelancers,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: go out and look at this medicaid center. It's getting
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: ten million in reimbursements and it's a closed storefront. There's
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: nobody there, there's nothing there. It's total fraud. So you
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: could start eliminating all this and at some point get
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to the government overspending for everything. They just overpay for everything.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: You can cut everybody's taxes by probably two thirds if
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: you wanted to, But that's the number one expense, the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: number one cause of affordability crisis. Taxes. You're paying more
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in taxes than for food, clothing, and shelter right now.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely out of control. So President Trump met with
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Jinine Piro, as you heard, and it was a a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: lot of yelling and screaming, and he really went after her.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: But apparently in the meeting, now she came with a
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: two big, big boxes of documents. One had to be
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: on wheels, it was so big, and she showed him
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the evidence that she had that the Department of Interior
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: was wrong about the vandalism, and basically what happened in
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the meeting. She tried to pin the whole thing on
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Doug Bergham, and Bergham apparently tried to defend himself but
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: didn't do that well. She was just pointing out and
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: had documents to back it up that a lot of
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: this case about the vandalism was misinformation from the Department
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of the Interior and the park Police, which are under Bergham,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: that gave the wrong information and it was just bad info.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: And she found that out. She realized this whole thing
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: was going to get tossed out of court, so she
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: withdrew it first. Now how effective she was in making
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: this argument, we don't know yet, but we'll find out.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Because President Trump said he's weighing the whole thing right now,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: So she really went after Bergham in the meeting. Now,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: he's known her, Janeine Piro for close to forty years,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: close close. The families have been close. Jeanine Piro's longtime
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: husband was Trump's attorney for many, many, many years, handling
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of his real estate deal especially in Westchester.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Now that's a much much longer deeper connection than Doug
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Bergham has, who's only known Trump for two years, three years.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: So we'll see, we'll see how effective it was. He's
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: mulling it over, he said, which means, you know, sometimes
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you really go after somebody in a meeting and it's
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: not till a day or two later you're planting the seeds.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: And then it's a day or two later when the
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: guy realizing, you know what, you were right. So we'll
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: see what happens with her and Bergham. Anthony Fauci as
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: we speak, Senate Committee is holding hearings on holding him
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: in contempt. Most likely they will hold him in contempt
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to Congress. They'll have to deal with that. Remember when
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: he showed up for his hearings, he showed up with
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: six attorneys with him. He's probably gonna need sixty now
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: once they hold him in contempt. The other problem he's
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: got is in Florida. The Florida Attorney General is going
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: after Fauci, absolutely going after Fauci. The Florida Attorney General
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: is open an active investigation into Fauci. No, I have
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: it into Fauci. This is what was his name, Uttemeyer.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: He's the Florida Attorney General, and they have slapped him
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: with a subpoena.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Take a listen, and we're really focused in on his
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: self dealing. Evidence has come to light that he was
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: trying to personally profit off of this. This is outside
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: of his government duties, his official role. He's trying to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: pursue book deals, awards, get connected with high rollers that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: might help him come into millions and millions of dollars.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: This is wrong and it could go towards a deceptive
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: trade practice, fraud, public nuisance, you name it. I think
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: there's many aspects of Florida law that now are implicated.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Now that they're going to prove. I don't know if
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: it's a crime. I mean it should be, but we'll see.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: But they are going to prove that Fauci was a profiteer.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: He was profiting off this with deals with drug companies,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: and there are cash awarding there's awards and prizes that
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: pay cash, and he actively had his chief of staff
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and as a personal assistant, god who worked for the government,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: out there soliciting those on his behalf. You're not supposed
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: to do that, if you're holding public office, you're not
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: supposed to solicit money or awards like that. But he
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: did do it. So this is Florida Attorney General is
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: going after him.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, we issued a formal subpoena to doctor Fauci under
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Florida state law, seeking a breadth of documents ranging to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: what he knew when he knew it, his doubts about
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the safety and efficacy of vaccines that he's out there promoting.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, by the way, the Senate Committee also has
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: gotten a hold of fauci cell phone, the one he
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: used during the period of the lockdown and the pandemic,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the height of it. So I'm assume that's a government
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: phone and he had to turn it in when he left.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: But they've got the cell phone, they'll go through it
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: and pull the data out of it, and I think
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you're going to find he spent all day every day
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: calling celebrities, fake news anchors, trying to talk to them.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: We told you yesterday he was so madly in love
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: with Joan Biez, carrying on this phone affair with her
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and then just writing about it in his diary. He
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: was all excited. He was talking to Barber Streisand and
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Julia Roberts. He was writing in his diary about how
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: exciting it was to have dinner with Jake Tapper. Can
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: you imagine finding Jake Tapper exciting? What is wrong with
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: this guy? So the Florida Attorney General is going to
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: go after all of.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: This government officials. They have a lot of immunities, they
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: have protections when they're doing their job. But when somebody
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: like doctor Fauci is lying and deceiving the American people,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: pushing out directives and mandates that he privately questions as
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: unsafe and he's deriving a profit from it, that raises
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: larger legal questions.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now most likely they'll get him under oath. He'll
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: have to testify, and I imagine he'll take the Fifth
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Amendment another couple hundred times.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And we want to find out at the end of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the day, you know, was he pursuing profit or was
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: he trying to protect the people of Florida. And his
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: diary it screams of fame and fortune. You know, he's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: doubting the risks of myocarditis. He's frustrated that Florida is
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: not following his directives so much so that he traveled down.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: He did news hits, radio hits, he went down with
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Jill Biden all the while. We now know privately he
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: has a lot of doubts about safety.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's gonna have a problem. And this is
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: just Florida. Be other states that will jump in on this.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Expect Texas to come next, in some other states. So
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: he had six attorneys at the hearing. He's probably gonna
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: need another couple dozen to get him through this. So
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Fauci will be busy for the next few years working
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: on this. And you'll notice the biggest publicity hound in history,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: beating Chuck Schumer's record for chasing TV cameras around. You'll
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: notice since the hearing, he's not appeared on TV and
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sure every net, CNN, MSNBC, I'm sure they're all
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: calling him. He's refusing to do TV shows. That's when
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: you know he's they really got him. When a worm
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: like that, a publicity hound like that, refuses to do interviews,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: you know he's in real trouble. And that's good news. So,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you know, everybody's worried about AI. We were talking about
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: on the show yesterday. That's all you keep thinking is
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that AI. Everybody's gonna lose their job. You're all going
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: to be white doubt, nobody's going to have any kind
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: of AI will take over everything. Well, there's some problems
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: with that. AI costs are now going up up, up.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: A lot of employers sometimes for something switching back to
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: humans because it's actually cheaper. Now, you saw that SpaceX.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: You know that's the hottest stock SpaceX. It opened at
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: whatever was one hundred and thirteen, went to two hundred.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: It was it one hundred and twenty, five hundred and thirty,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and it went to two hundred. Well, it took a
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: big drop yesterday, a huge drop which shocked everybody. It
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: dropped way below the IPO price. Now why did SpaceX
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: take such a huge drop. Well, they had the report
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: earnings in the conference call and all that, and it
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: turned out their AI costs were through the roof. They
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: were ridiculously high the AI costs and that caused the drop.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: So you're going to see this with a lot of companies.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: They're going to start switching some stuff back to people. Now,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: when you use AI, you know, it does not costing
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: us a fortune. But when you're a business, you got
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: to put in all kinds of AI systems and software
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: and infrastructure to do it. And the AI companies, you know,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: you keep hearing about these data centers, all the controversy
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: with them. The thing that's not getting reported is the
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: ridiculously high cost of these data centers for the companies.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. Now, within the next four or five years,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: these AI companies will spend six trillion dollars on infrastructure.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: That's a staggering amount. Six trillion now, just to build
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: all of this stuff so far that you're seeing these
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: data centers, they've already spent about six hundred and fifty billion.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: These are these AI companies and all the big tech companies.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: So when they spend six hundred and fifty billion on
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: all this AI infrastructure, data centers, all that stuff, it
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: gets passed along to the businesses using it. So the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: AI costs are absolutely ridiculous, just staggering. So some companies
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: switching back to humans when they can, just to save
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: all those crazy AI costs. Hey, this is interesting. Zora
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and Mamdani are a silly little mayor goes to Staten
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Island and it's a police event. It's put on by
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: the NYPD. It's an anti crime event. About three thousand
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: people are there in the audience, and Mamdanni decides he'll
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: come and he'll speak at this police event, this anti
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: crime event. He gets up on stage. The crowd starts
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: booing and really booing, and they actually boot him off
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the stage. He had to flee, he had to run,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: He had to leave the stage. He was supposed to
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: make a speech, but the whole thing lasted less than
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: a minute. As he comes up there, they boo him
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: like crazy. Within a minute he's gone. He's in the
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: car and tearing away from Staten Island, racing to the
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: bridge to get the hell out of there. He was
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: booed off the stage. Congratulations, Staten Island. You did the
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: right thing. And it's got to happen everywhere now. So
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it means to him. I mean,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: he's kind of a silly, crazy guy. He's got no
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: experience at anything, you know, he's a thirty four year
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: old kid, never had a job. So I don't know
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: what this will do to him. Will he just hate
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Staten Island forever and never go back and try to
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: punish him in some ways, or will he find in
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: the next few weeks it's going to start happening everywhere
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: and it's not just Staten Island. But keep booing him
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: when you see him. Maybe at some point he'll get
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: the message. So Hey, the United Nations has come out
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: against Iran. Yeah, right on time. Iran just executed fifty
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: six people. So they denounced that. The funding Hamas has
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: belah hoodies, they haven't denounced that yet. The UH violating
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: every nuclear agreement and building nuclear weapons, they haven't denounced that.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: All the other horrible things for forty seven years never
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: been announced by the UN, but they finally denounced them.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're finally figuring out they've been betting on the
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: wrong horse in this whole thing. Straight Ah Horn Moose
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: was supposed to open maybe today. The President was asked
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: The straight up barbooz the actos reporting that you fight
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: and opened as to this tomorrow.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Could happen tomorrow and the next thing tomorrow. There's a
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: lot of progress has been there. And they called me
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: and they said, please, let's go. They want to make
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: a deal. They do not want to be hit. This
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: was the biggest hit since World War Two, is I said,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: But we'll see what happens. They had a very good day.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: The negotiations were good. Yeah, a lot of progress have
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: been made. I don't know. Yeah, a lot of progress.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Believe me, I've seen progress. But this is real. The
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: progress they've made is unbelievable. What can I tell you?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know. This could go on for a while.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: They're gonna open it, not open it. They got a
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: piece agreement. They're backfighting. Nope, there's another piece agreement. Now
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: they're back to fighting. Wait a minute, there's another piece agreement. Uh,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: back to fighting. This is good. I don't know. I
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: don't mind this. And a lot of people hate this,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: and they yelling and screaming. He has no plan, he
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: has no of this. I don't mind this. It's just
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: keeping a rand busy tied up in limbo, keeps them
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: distracted from anything else they might be up to. No,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I don't mind but we'll see, we'll see. There are
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of people thinking probably should get some other negotiators.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Steve Wikoff, great guy, Jared Kushner, it's okay, very very
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: sharp guy. I mean, you're great at a lot of stuff.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: They might not be the right guys for this job.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Some people think, you know what, send General Jack Keene
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: over there with somebody like that to negotiate and we'll see. Hey,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: we'll take a break and then hey, we'll get to
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Pete hegsatth Apparently there's quite a fight with him. We
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: got a lot to get to today. We'll also get
• 17:03
