Hour 2: Democrats Claims. · The Mark Simone Show

Speaker 1: Mark Somemo the issues you really care about on seven
0:04
Speaker 1: ten WR.
0:13
Speaker 2: Well, it's a little better today, it's not quite as
0:15
Speaker 2: cold as yesterday. We got a lot to get to
0:18
Speaker 2: this hour, the affordability crisis, we got Mom Donnie to
0:24
Speaker 2: talk about, and Christmas and a whole lot of stuff.
0:29
Speaker 2: When you're in the supermarket more and more, have you
0:32
Speaker 2: started using the self checkout or you still? It depends
0:35
Speaker 2: if your cashiers. They always have like seven lanes and
0:39
Speaker 2: only three cashiers, and I've never seen have you ever
0:44
Speaker 2: been in the supermarket? We're every single aisle, every single
0:48
Speaker 2: lane has a cashier and it never ever, ever, why
0:50
Speaker 2: did they do that? Like when you go to the bank,
0:52
Speaker 2: they have twelve windows, there's always two tellers. Why did
0:55
Speaker 2: they build twelve windows. There's never been twelve tellers working
0:59
Speaker 2: at the same time ever in a bank. So when
1:02
Speaker 2: you go to the self checkout, it's pretty easy unless
1:06
Speaker 2: you got stuff that's got to be weighed, and then
1:08
Speaker 2: it gets a little tough. Now, be honest, did you
1:13
Speaker 2: ever steal anything at the self checkout? You know, you
1:16
Speaker 2: don't have to run every single item right by that scanner.
1:21
Speaker 2: You run one or two. You got your bag set up,
1:23
Speaker 2: you're throwing them in the bag. Be totally honest. Did
1:28
Speaker 2: you ever maybe one item you didn't ring up for
1:31
Speaker 2: two or three? Well, it happens a lot. There's a
1:33
Speaker 2: couple of chains that got rid of self checkout because
1:35
Speaker 2: of that exact problem. They were losing too much to theft.
1:43
Speaker 2: Now there's been a study done about this apparently, Now
1:46
Speaker 2: who would steal like that from the self checkout? Wealthy
1:49
Speaker 2: Americans apparently are stealing much more from self served checkouts
1:54
Speaker 2: than anybody else. A sizable for of wealthy Americans have
2:01
Speaker 2: admitted to not scanning an item in a store. Now,
2:04
Speaker 2: sometimes you try to scan it, it doesn't scan. Or sometimes
2:07
Speaker 2: it's bananas or something you got to weigh at thedaa
2:10
Speaker 2: know you know, know how to you just throw it
2:11
Speaker 2: in the bag. If you break it down. By sex,
2:15
Speaker 2: men steal far more than women do, almost more than
2:20
Speaker 2: double the rate. Well okay, I mean, it's pretty obvious
2:23
Speaker 2: men do more bad things than women do. Generally, many
2:27
Speaker 2: of those surveys said they feel justified in stealing some
2:29
Speaker 2: minor items. Thirty percent say the store is too large
2:34
Speaker 2: and profitable. They don't feel the petty theft will do
2:38
Speaker 2: anything to them thirty five percent. So they feel that
2:42
Speaker 2: having to scan the items and self checkout is unpaid labor,
2:46
Speaker 2: and this is compensation for it. It's kind of true.
2:52
Speaker 2: You know. Remember Amazon opened those stores. They had one
2:55
Speaker 2: in Time Warners Center, they had one near Grandson. Remember
2:57
Speaker 2: Amazon tried doing stores, these little stores where you could
3:00
Speaker 2: walk in, grab a little shopping cart thing and take
3:06
Speaker 2: whatever you want and leave because each item had some
3:09
Speaker 2: little tag on it that as you walked out, the
3:12
Speaker 2: door would click and it would build your Amazon account automatically. Now,
3:18
Speaker 2: whatever happened to that? Why can't I guess it's tougher
3:20
Speaker 2: for a supermarket to do it, But that's the best
3:22
Speaker 2: system Amazon tried that. I noticed those stores are all
3:25
Speaker 2: gone now, but it was a great idea. Walk in,
3:28
Speaker 2: grab whatever you want. Everything's got a little tag that
3:31
Speaker 2: like a little Bluetooth tag on it. It'll when you
3:34
Speaker 2: walk out, you go through a scanner, it'll see exactly
3:37
Speaker 2: what you took in charge you for. It makes perfect sense.
3:41
Speaker 2: Luigi Mangioni, the hearing's going on, and I keep reading
3:44
Speaker 2: all these things about how good looking he is. Do
3:46
Speaker 2: you find him really good looking? Luigi Mangioni, There is
3:52
Speaker 2: something about him. Women like, I don't know, they like
3:55
Speaker 2: his eyes, they like as this, I don't know, they
3:57
Speaker 2: like those big normal eyebrows whatever, and a good looking
4:04
Speaker 2: I don't know, you kind of look. If you're making
4:06
Speaker 2: a movie about Lenny Bruce, I could see hiring him
4:08
Speaker 2: to play Lenny Bruce. He kind of has that look
4:10
Speaker 2: about him. But Lenny Bruce was like a good looking guy,
4:13
Speaker 2: but kind of ratty looking, a little scruffy looking. So
4:16
Speaker 2: I don't know, But there's more and more of this
4:20
Speaker 2: where on the left they just idolize any kind of criminal.
4:24
Speaker 2: You could be an illegal alien, you could be a
4:27
Speaker 2: narco terrorist moving drugs. You could even be an assassin.
4:30
Speaker 2: To hear a criminal, The left loves you. They're out
4:33
Speaker 2: there fighting for you. And even these candidates Brad Lander
4:38
Speaker 2: talking about fighting for immigrants, they're not immigrants. They're illegals.
4:43
Speaker 2: They're illegals that broke into the country. There's nothing more
4:46
Speaker 2: insulting to immigrants than putting illegal illegals across the border illegally,
4:53
Speaker 2: into the same category with them. It's just a awful
4:57
Speaker 2: awful thing to do, but it's happening more and more so.
5:03
Speaker 2: It's also a movement right now to get rid of
5:07
Speaker 2: you know, no more cell phones in the classroom. Kid
5:10
Speaker 2: comes to school, got to lock up his cell phones
5:12
Speaker 2: for the day. When he leaves, he gets it back.
5:14
Speaker 2: But now there's more and more of a movement to
5:17
Speaker 2: take it away from kids in general, like no more
5:20
Speaker 2: cell phones, no more social media for a kid. And
5:25
Speaker 2: this is both sides of the aisle. Republicans talking about it,
5:28
Speaker 2: Democrats talking about it. You may have seen the ram
5:31
Speaker 2: Emmanuel I don't know why he thinks this is a
5:34
Speaker 2: big issue for him. He wants to run for president
5:36
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight. All over the airwaves now talking
5:39
Speaker 2: about no more social media for kids, keep it away
5:42
Speaker 2: from them. Even Lara Trump on a show said they
5:46
Speaker 2: got three kids. They got one iPad for the kids,
5:49
Speaker 2: and they lock it up most of the day. They
5:51
Speaker 2: want their kids reading books. Well, okay, but this has
5:57
Speaker 2: gone on forever, this debate. You know, you got a
6:01
Speaker 2: kid now he's spending too many hours looking at his phone,
6:04
Speaker 2: looking at social media, looking at this. But it is
6:07
Speaker 2: the same thing years ago when you were a kid,
6:09
Speaker 2: only it was television. It wasn't social media. You know,
6:13
Speaker 2: your parents would yell you stop watching TV all day,
6:15
Speaker 2: go outside and play, go do your homework. Why don't
6:18
Speaker 2: just sit there and watch TV? And you might think
6:21
Speaker 2: that's not as bad, but it was just as bad.
6:23
Speaker 2: What were you watching on TV? Nothing Worthwhile you're watching
6:26
Speaker 2: Gilligan's Island reruns, you're watching The Monsters every day. I mean,
6:30
Speaker 2: it wasn't anything great you were watching. You probably learn
6:33
Speaker 2: more on TikTok than you did back then watching The
6:36
Speaker 2: Monsters every day and reruns or I'll leave it to
6:39
Speaker 2: Beaver was a show with some substance to it. So
6:44
Speaker 2: there's more and more of this movement to get kids
6:45
Speaker 2: to read books. But you kind of need the phone
6:50
Speaker 2: to read a book. You need your kindle there to
6:52
Speaker 2: read it. But I guess you could still read actual
6:53
Speaker 2: books now. But we'll see where this goes. So Tucker
6:59
Speaker 2: car people keep asking about this, What the hell happened
7:02
Speaker 2: to him? You know, Tucker Carlson was a pretty respectable,
7:05
Speaker 2: legitimate figure when he was on Fox News. There he
7:09
Speaker 2: was discussing issues with great American politicians. Now you see
7:15
Speaker 2: the guy and he's like a raving maniac online and
7:20
Speaker 2: he's got this anti semi creep weirdo on. He's allowing
7:25
Speaker 2: this guy to have his say on his show, and
7:29
Speaker 2: then what was it earlier this week he's in cutter
7:32
Speaker 2: talking about how he's moving there. Just one wacky thing
7:35
Speaker 2: after another, and then you see a bunch of these
7:37
Speaker 2: people doing that, Megan Kelly, all these people acting like
7:40
Speaker 2: wacko lunatics, and what it is they've all been fired.
7:44
Speaker 2: They don't work anywhere anymore. You know, if you're on
7:47
Speaker 2: the Fox News channel, it's got millions of viewers, and
7:50
Speaker 2: if you do a show there millions of people we'll
7:52
Speaker 2: see you. Now if you get fired and you're doing
7:55
Speaker 2: a podcast out of your bedroom and you're not on
7:59
Speaker 2: a network, nobody sees you. So the only way what
8:02
Speaker 2: do you do? How do you get attention? Well, you
8:04
Speaker 2: got to do some crazy thing that goes viral, even
8:07
Speaker 2: if it's on the left, left wing stuff, you know,
8:09
Speaker 2: the left wing sites start attacking you like crazy. At
8:13
Speaker 2: least it gets your attention and publicity. So that's why
8:16
Speaker 2: Megan Kelly became a total wacko. Also Tucker Carlson, Now
8:21
Speaker 2: there's a few others. It's kind of like you remember
8:23
Speaker 2: Alex Jones, who you know, normal people didn't pay any
8:28
Speaker 2: attention to him, but all the rednecks and hillbilly's and
8:30
Speaker 2: wackos and all. They love this Alex Jones and they
8:33
Speaker 2: went crazy with him. And he made a fortune, made
8:36
Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to do.
8:38
Speaker 3: So that's.
8:40
Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, there's a few others like that.
8:44
Speaker 2: They just have to act totally nuts, outrageous. They're trying
8:46
Speaker 2: to become the new Alex Jones. You know, you would
8:50
Speaker 2: think Tucker would know better, but apparently he would not
8:55
Speaker 2: know better than that. So now Charlie Kirk was a
9:04
Speaker 2: different case. Now here was a guy who had a
9:07
Speaker 2: huge audience, didn't have to do wacky things. He was
9:10
Speaker 2: preaching great stuff, and he was preaching a lot of
9:13
Speaker 2: stuff you'd want somebody to try to get across to
9:17
Speaker 2: younger people, you know, take more interest in religion, go
9:19
Speaker 2: into church and read the Bible, and I mean, this
9:22
Speaker 2: is all fine stuff. But the left wing went after
9:25
Speaker 2: him like crazy. It led to his assassination. He apparently
9:29
Speaker 2: had written a book before he died, and his wife
9:34
Speaker 2: has now put out the book and it's going around
9:37
Speaker 2: promoting it and it's riled up these left wing nuts. Again,
9:41
Speaker 2: here's a left wing podcaster Jennifer Welch. And there's Trump
9:47
Speaker 2: derangement syndrome. There's Hagsith derangement syndrome. There's Charlie Kirk derangement syndrome. Her.
9:54
Speaker 2: Now here's another one who went viral with this wacko stuff.
9:58
Speaker 2: It's about Charlie Kirk screaming and wildly unhinged rants. He's
10:02
Speaker 2: a racist, he's an opportunistic grifter. The wife is a grifter.
10:08
Speaker 2: This woman should be kicked to the curb. She goes
10:11
Speaker 2: just like Donald Trump, just like her unrepentant, racist, homophobic husband.
10:18
Speaker 2: There's no truth to any of this. It's just lunacy.
10:22
Speaker 2: You saw Letterman doing the same thing last night when
10:25
Speaker 2: he was on Jimmy Kimmel. Listen, we got a lot
10:27
Speaker 2: of people we don't like, we don't like Mom Donnie.
10:30
Speaker 2: But I don't see anybody go nuts about him. It's
10:32
Speaker 2: not derangement syndrome. And we just can't stand Mom Donnie.
10:35
Speaker 2: But if you listen to people, they'll say, you know,
10:37
Speaker 2: he's only thirty four, he's never even run anything, he's
10:39
Speaker 2: never even had a job. Okay, well that's a legitimate argument.
10:43
Speaker 2: And the things he said are anti semitic. He's been
10:45
Speaker 2: quite anti semitic and some of the things. Yeah, okay,
10:47
Speaker 2: that's a good seems to be very pro criminal. Yeah
10:51
Speaker 2: that's true. But we don't go on and on and
10:54
Speaker 2: on screaming that he's a thief and there's no ranting
10:58
Speaker 2: and raving and nut I don't know what it is.
11:01
Speaker 2: Psychologists have studied this. It's and they say it's not
11:07
Speaker 2: just about Trump, it's about other things in their life.
11:09
Speaker 2: They hate their father. It's daddy syndrome. I mean, if
11:12
Speaker 2: there's all these explanations you can read online from psychologists,
11:15
Speaker 2: they're seeing things in Trump that set them off about
11:18
Speaker 2: other things in their life. They just get it's they
11:21
Speaker 2: get childlike, childish. You know, if you said, yeah, I
11:25
Speaker 2: really don't like that, mom, Donny, I don't like anything
11:27
Speaker 2: he's saying. I don't like what he stands. Okay, that's fine.
11:30
Speaker 2: But if you start ranting and raving and screaming about
11:33
Speaker 2: it's just childish. And you look at these people doing
11:36
Speaker 2: it about Trump, it's just out of control. It's just childlike.
11:41
Speaker 2: It's you know, it's been going on for ten years now,
11:44
Speaker 2: and ten years ago we thought, well, all right, it'll
11:47
Speaker 2: get better. After a few it's this has gotten worse
11:49
Speaker 2: and worse and worse. It's never gonna stop. We're gonna
11:52
Speaker 2: have to live with this disease for the rest of
11:54
Speaker 2: our life. Hey, Judge's ordered the release of the Epstein
12:00
Speaker 2: case grand jury transcripts. So this is the other thing
12:04
Speaker 2: with the left. They always think they got Trump. They
12:06
Speaker 2: got him now on something. This is a big deal.
12:09
Speaker 2: They've got him on this. They're going to Judge is
12:11
Speaker 2: ruled the grand jury transcripts from the Epstein case have
12:16
Speaker 2: to be released now. Again, if you talk to people
12:18
Speaker 2: that have seen everything, they've seen these grand jury things,
12:22
Speaker 2: they've seen the full Epstein files. You talk to people
12:25
Speaker 2: in the US Attorney's office that saw them. If you
12:27
Speaker 2: talk to even Alan Dershwitz, who was the attorney for
12:31
Speaker 2: Epstein and or Yeah, he was Epstein's attorney for a while,
12:35
Speaker 2: so he saw everything. People who have seen everything tell
12:38
Speaker 2: you there's absolutely nothing in any file, in any grand
12:42
Speaker 2: jury transcript, there's nothing anywhere in any of these documents
12:46
Speaker 2: that would tell you anything you haven't heard already. All
12:49
Speaker 2: the names that are in there, you've already heard. Oh,
12:51
Speaker 2: there might be one or two little names, unknown people,
12:54
Speaker 2: but there's every major name that's in there. You've already
12:57
Speaker 2: heard about it if you talk to them. What's in
12:59
Speaker 2: theo Epstein Father It's basically just witness transcripts of witness interviews.
13:04
Speaker 2: Nothing to outrageous. So, but that's not Remember the same
13:09
Speaker 2: thing with the MRI. They we're trying to get Trump's MRI.
13:12
Speaker 2: The Left went nuts trying to get that MRI. Well
13:16
Speaker 2: they finally got it in the same thing, Eh, it
13:18
Speaker 2: was nothing. There uh one thing I like about Christmas?
13:21
Speaker 2: All these artists you get to hear. You know, obviously
13:26
Speaker 2: you can walk around in the world today and hear
13:27
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift all the time or Dual Liapa, But how
13:30
Speaker 2: often you get to hear Elvis nowadays? So every Christmas,
13:35
Speaker 2: if you're in your teens or even in your twenties,
13:37
Speaker 2: every Christmas, who the hell is this guy? And then
13:40
Speaker 2: it's your only exposure to Elvia? And then I don't know,
13:43
Speaker 2: maybe I would think a lot of them. If you
13:45
Speaker 2: get interested in the guy, Oh, this guy's pretty interesting.
13:47
Speaker 2: They start googling him youtubingham and start to hear his
13:51
Speaker 2: other hits. Like, if you're twenty six, you'd never in
13:54
Speaker 2: your life heard of this guy bing Crosby. Who the
13:56
Speaker 2: hell's this guy? And they have no idea that from
14:00
Speaker 2: like nineteen thirty to nineteen fifty, this guy was the
14:03
Speaker 2: single most famous singer in the world. This guy was
14:06
Speaker 2: the biggest figure in entertainment for like twenty five years
14:11
Speaker 2: before Sinatra took over. This guy was the voice of
14:14
Speaker 2: America for decades. Looking back on it, well, you admit
14:18
Speaker 2: you were nuts listening to this Still you still so
14:20
Speaker 2: you hear all these people now, you would never hear
14:22
Speaker 2: nobody would ever hear Andy Williams today if it wasn't
14:24
Speaker 2: for Christmas or Perry Como. I loved Perry Como lived
14:28
Speaker 2: right there, right in Long Island, lived in Sand's Point.
14:32
Speaker 2: Earth a Kit that's one of the biggest Christmas So

14:44
Speaker 2: out a perfume called Eartha if you want a great perfume.
14:47
Speaker 2: And I hate to break it to you, but there's
14:49
Speaker 2: a lot of kids today who really wouldn't know who
14:52
Speaker 2: the hell Paul McCartney was about. What another The Beatles
14:55
Speaker 2: broke up fifty five years ago. I mean, there's a

Speaker 6: Donald never sits back in a chair. He always leans
17:17
Speaker 6: forward and he's got his hands on his knees.
17:20
Speaker 1: Uh.
17:20
Speaker 2: That's just because he's like a lion. He's like a tiger.
17:22
Speaker 2: He's like ready to pounce. He never sits back.
17:26
Speaker 3: I like that.
17:27
Speaker 2: No, it's real, it's really that's the reason he never
17:30
Speaker 2: sits back. He's ready to spring up and go into
17:32
Speaker 2: action at any moment. You can learn a lot watching
17:34
Speaker 2: that guy about how to be here.
17:36
Speaker 6: I do.
17:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, thanks for calling. Let's go to uh
17:41
Speaker 2: Joel also in Florida, Joel, how you doing.
17:44
Speaker 4: Good morning market, Yes, Joey, Florida. Okay, when I when
17:47
Speaker 4: I was in college, my undergraduate studies and take the
17:50
Speaker 4: learning psychology and sociology press, he used to tell us
17:54
Speaker 4: that many people in their pre teens and teens used
17:57
Speaker 4: to look at successful parents as being too authoritarian, and
18:00
Speaker 4: they had a resentment for that. Well, it seems that
18:03
Speaker 4: this is what's causing the Trump's arrangement syndrum.
18:05
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, actually a mother number of psychologists have come
18:08
Speaker 2: on this show and have written that it's daddy issues.
18:11
Speaker 2: Exactly what you're saying. That's one reason they absolutely, Hey Trump,
18:14
Speaker 2: not aybody has these issues, and that's why not everybody's
18:17
Speaker 2: like that. Let's go to Hey Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent.
18:20
Speaker 2: How you doing.
18:21
Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark macaol Okay, good morning Mara Mark. I'm
18:24
Speaker 3: gonna say this every time I get on the phone.
18:27
Speaker 3: This so called unaffordability crisis is caused mainly by blue
18:32
Speaker 3: state mayors and blue state governors. The previous call of
18:36
Speaker 3: the young lady from Vero Beach, she got her Catholic
18:40
Speaker 3: holidays mixed up. The Feast of the Assumption is August fifteenth,
18:45
Speaker 3: and the other day was the feast of the Immacula Conception.
18:49
Speaker 3: That's December eighth, and in fact, in Italian we call
18:53
Speaker 3: it la CONCHICIONI Okay. That being said, what's the next
18:57
Speaker 3: thing these crazy democrats are going to do? When you
19:00
Speaker 3: go to the dealership, they're gonna and you go to
19:03
Speaker 3: buy an Audi, a Porsche or a BMW. Where are
19:07
Speaker 3: they going to pass the lord to city council and says, hey, uh,
19:11
Speaker 3: that person over there only could afford a Volkswagen Golf.
19:15
Speaker 3: So we're gonna put a twenty five percent tax on
19:18
Speaker 3: the on the sticker price of your your Porsche or
19:22
Speaker 3: your Audi. So we're gonna put this money in a
19:24
Speaker 3: pool so those people could buy better cars. And you
19:28
Speaker 3: you're buying a filet mignon in the supermarket. No, while
19:32
Speaker 3: your neighbors buying hot dogs and chop meat. You're gonna
19:36
Speaker 3: have to pay a twenty five percent tax on it.
19:39
Speaker 3: Where does this nonsense end? You live where you could afford,
19:44
Speaker 3: You eat what you could afford, and if you can't
19:47
Speaker 3: live in New York City, get that hell out. My
19:50
Speaker 3: girlfriend had a secretary of years ago that when this
19:54
Speaker 3: woman got divorced from her husband, she had two kids,
19:57
Speaker 3: she figured out between the alimony and the salary she
20:02
Speaker 3: was making, she could no longer live in New York City.
20:05
Speaker 3: She went someplace in Pennsylvania and is living a very
20:10
Speaker 3: very good life normal.
20:11
Speaker 2: Hey, a lot of people in New York City could
20:13
Speaker 2: not afford to live in Monte Carlo.
20:15
Speaker 3: I just, oh, well, you can't. A lot of people
20:17
Speaker 3: can't afford to live on Park Avenue, A some place,
20:20
Speaker 3: so they go live someplace else. This is a bunch
20:24
Speaker 3: of leftist democrat bs, that's all.
20:28
Speaker 2: It's a good point, Vincent, excellent call, Thanks for calling.
20:31
Speaker 2: You know, we'll talk to and Culter next up bout
20:33
Speaker 2: I'll ask her about this. This is a good topic.
20:36

Speaker 2: stuff on substack. You go to and Culter dot substack
21:07
Speaker 2: dot com and culture.
21:09
Speaker 1: How you doing fantastic? How are you Mark Simone?
21:12
Speaker 2: Well, I'm good, I'm good. I love the Christmas season.
21:16
Speaker 2: It seems to make the left wing cooks even more miserable.
21:19
Speaker 2: I enjoy that.
21:23
Speaker 1: I love it too. You remind me we have to
21:25
Speaker 1: go see the tree in Rockefeller Center.
21:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna walk by it every I walked by.
21:30
Speaker 2: I'll will walk by it later today. So, uh, this
21:34
Speaker 2: whole thing about affordable housing, you know when they said
21:37
Speaker 2: we don't have affordable housing, Well, you're really not gonna
21:39
Speaker 2: ever have any on Park Avenue, and there's certain areas
21:42
Speaker 2: that are gonna be expensive and other areas that, well,
21:45
Speaker 2: where did this thing come? Everywhere in the world has
21:48
Speaker 2: to be affordable.
21:52
Speaker 1: Well, rents are very high in New York. I'm glad
21:55
Speaker 1: you mentioned affordability. What what causes rents and purchase prices
22:01
Speaker 1: to be so high in New York? As as anyone
22:05
Speaker 1: in econ one oh one class will take impacts, you
22:07
Speaker 1: don't even have to take econ one oh one on
22:09
Speaker 1: my financial illiterate reduce the supply of something. Prices go up.
22:14
Speaker 1: Rent control every place in the universe, it's ever been tried.
22:18
Speaker 1: They could try it on Mars. Suddenly you'll have massively
22:21
Speaker 1: unaffordable housing. And oh my gosh, we need the government
22:24
Speaker 1: to build affordable housing. Just just let the market cut loose.
22:29
Speaker 1: Developers build more stuff that I obviously want to build
22:33
Speaker 1: a quote affordable, that is to say, less expensive housing.
22:37
Speaker 1: You know, Sam Walton has done pretty well by providing
22:41
Speaker 1: affordable products to people. It's not like in the market
22:45
Speaker 1: people are only going to build fabulous places on Fifth Avenue. No,
22:49
Speaker 1: quite to the contrary, But they don't build those now
22:52
Speaker 1: because they'll be subject to rent control. And as you
22:55
Speaker 1: and probably your listeners. So a lot of landlorders in
22:58
Speaker 1: New York have been forced to just walk away from
23:00
Speaker 1: apartments because their fees, their taxes, their costs of repairs
23:06
Speaker 1: are higher than what they're being paid in rent. So
23:10
Speaker 1: what are they supposed to do, you know, carry these
23:12
Speaker 1: people for the rest of their lives. No, you just
23:15
Speaker 1: need the market. And of course one other issue, there's
23:18
Speaker 1: no there's no problem under the sun that has not
23:21
Speaker 1: helped by mass deportation of illegals.
23:24
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I believe it or not. In the Hamptons,
23:26
Speaker 2: in East Hampton, there was a movement because in Eastthampton
23:29
Speaker 2: they didn't have low income housing, affordable movement to get
23:32
Speaker 2: some and the whole town rose up and said, it's
23:34
Speaker 2: the hamp that's not supposed to be any affordable housing
23:37
Speaker 2: that's in the next time.
23:38
Speaker 1: Very funny. Yeah, no, the affordable housing has to go
23:44
Speaker 1: in the poor, middle class neighborhood. Let's screw those people.
23:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, but all your life, you know, your parents are driving.
23:49
Speaker 2: You see, you're in the car, you're driving, Oh look
23:51
Speaker 2: at these mansions, What a beautiful And then you keep
23:53
Speaker 2: driving and driving. Next thing you know, you're in a
23:54
Speaker 2: really bad neighborhood. That's that's always been that way. You
23:58
Speaker 2: can't equalize everything.
24:01
Speaker 1: No, that's a really good point. Actually, one of the
24:03
Speaker 1: one of the wonderful things Trump did. What was the
24:07
Speaker 1: name of it. There was this insane program under Obama
24:12
Speaker 1: and Biden. Oh, it's on the tip of my tongue.
24:17
Speaker 1: I can't think of it. But anyway, it was basically
24:20
Speaker 1: doing exactly the madness you're describing. If someone couldn't afford
24:24
Speaker 1: a family, couldn't afford to live, you know, in a
24:27
Speaker 1: more expensive neighborhood fringe Connecticut or like you say, the
24:31
Speaker 1: Hamptons Park Avenue. Uh, under law, we had to subsidize
24:36
Speaker 1: them to allow them to live in homes where they
24:41
Speaker 1: couldn't afford the neighborhood, which is crazy. That's you can
24:47
Speaker 1: they can find housing. They can find plenty of housing.
24:51
Speaker 1: Housing in the neighborhoods they can they can afford. It's
24:54
Speaker 1: just like you know, affirmative action at colleges. No, you
24:56
Speaker 1: can get into a college. Uh, and to have roughly
24:59
Speaker 1: this SATs is everyone you're competing against. But no, we're
25:03
Speaker 1: going to elevate you to a college that's going to
25:05
Speaker 1: make you feel stupid. For the rest of your life.
25:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, but these crazy left wing Democrats, you know, the
25:13
Speaker 2: double standards is unbelievable. Remember they dropped those illegals in
25:17
Speaker 2: Nantucket Martha's Vineyards.
25:21
Speaker 1: Thinking about that.
25:22
Speaker 2: They got rounded up and taken out of there so
25:25
Speaker 2: fast that I didn't see any due process there. Did you?
25:28
Speaker 2: Did you see any hearings before they got carried out
25:30
Speaker 2: of there?
25:31
Speaker 6: No?
25:32
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it because, and by the way,
25:35
Speaker 1: I salute you, I have been so trying to ignore this.
25:39
Speaker 1: You know, the Venezuela and Narco traffickers, whom Democrats are
25:43
Speaker 1: wildly in favor of. It's the new pet seal on
25:46
Speaker 1: the left. But I was thinking access should round them
25:49
Speaker 1: all up and send them to Martha's vineyards.
25:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would you know?
25:55
Speaker 1: You're right?
25:55
Speaker 2: Actually, in that little harbor, I'd love to see those
25:57
Speaker 2: Narco speedboats coming in at one hundred and eighty mile
26:00
Speaker 2: an hour.
26:01
Speaker 1: It's right, just move them in both build be affordable
26:04
Speaker 1: housing up there, then put the Narco terrorists there.
26:08
Speaker 2: All right, But how if you're NBC News, if you're
26:11
Speaker 2: the New York Times, and the boat clearly has four
26:13
Speaker 2: outboard super high speed outboard motors that costs almost two
26:17
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars and it's going one hundred and eighty
26:20
Speaker 2: miles an hour through the water in the middle of
26:21
Speaker 2: the night. How could you claim that's a fishing boat.
26:30
Speaker 1: How could they claim that Tucky Williams was, you know,
26:33
Speaker 1: a hard working student. Frame for killing a cop or
26:37
Speaker 1: Mumia Abu Jamal. This is their nature. You find a
26:42
Speaker 1: predator on society and oh my gosh, we must start
26:46
Speaker 1: a fundraiser for that person. I think they've moved on
26:48
Speaker 1: from the fishermen. Now, well, this is what I'm writing
26:52
Speaker 1: about this week. They have a scrolling series of preposterous
26:57
Speaker 1: arguments in defense of narco terrorists, whom I'll give you
27:00
Speaker 1: one one little high light. Last year was the last
27:05
Speaker 1: year we have we have figures for cocaine, which is
27:09
Speaker 1: absolutely one hundred percent being shipped. It goes from from
27:13
Speaker 1: Colombia to Venezuela. Venezuela sends it to Mexico and then
27:16
Speaker 1: it comes Mexicans truck it up to the United States.
27:20
Speaker 1: Back before the media felt like it had to lie
27:22
Speaker 1: about this, this was written about about once a year
27:25
Speaker 1: in the New York Times. This will all be covered
27:27
Speaker 1: in the column going up later today. But in any event,
27:30
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, thirty thousand Americans died of overdoses from cocaine.
27:37
Speaker 1: Nine to eleven, three thousand Americans died, and we went
27:40
Speaker 1: to war in two countries for twenty years. But thirty
27:44
Speaker 1: thousand Americans, Oh, no, we can't do anything in our hemisphere.
27:48
Speaker 1: You have to go seven thousand miles away. Then we
27:50
Speaker 1: don't mind for killing innocence.
27:52
Speaker 2: Well, you know, for years they tried to think of
27:55
Speaker 2: what to do about these cartel smuggling drugs, and we
27:58
Speaker 2: maybe set up a commission to talk to Mexico. And
28:00
Speaker 2: then I like the Trump approach to watch a bomb
28:03
Speaker 2: just hit the boat.
28:04
Speaker 1: And I mean, besides the joy of blowing up drug dealers,
28:10
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right through through Republican administrations, Democratic administrations. US
28:16
Speaker 1: attorneys keep indicting. I mean, all of all of Venezuela.
28:19
Speaker 1: The only the only product they have is drugs, shipping drugs.
28:24
Speaker 1: They're sitting on the largest reserve of oil in the world.
28:26
Speaker 1: They can't get it out of the ground. Socialism works great.
28:29
Speaker 1: So the entire country right up to about the government,
28:32
Speaker 1: the military, law enforcement. It is a drug cartel. This
28:36
Speaker 1: is a country that is a drug cartel. So Obama Trump,
28:40
Speaker 1: they've all indicted Maduro, the head of intelligence. The indictment
28:45
Speaker 1: they indict them, they accuse them of shipping cocaine to
28:48
Speaker 1: the United States. Yes, your precious little Obama did this
28:51
Speaker 1: New York Times. And then you know, maybe we'll get
28:55
Speaker 1: an extradition. A couple of them have finally been caught
28:57
Speaker 1: and gone to prison, and then some other somebody else
29:00
Speaker 1: becomes the head of intelligence in Venezuela. Indicting people in
29:04
Speaker 1: Abstentia is not working. What Trump is doing is working.
29:09
Speaker 1: Therefore liberals are going nuts.
29:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, so hey, also a Democrats, boy, they love tariff's Democrats.
29:16
Speaker 2: You know, they call it a corporate tax, but it's
29:19
Speaker 2: a tariff. The tariffing business is left and right, which
29:21
Speaker 2: I think time you put a tax on the corporation
29:23
Speaker 2: that raises the prices.
29:24
Speaker 1: So uh, that's a good point. No, I don't mind that.
29:28
Speaker 2: You're right. So hey, we just about at a time
29:31
Speaker 2: if somebody wanted to give a Christmas present, what book
29:33
Speaker 2: of Years would you recommend?
29:35
Speaker 1: Because that's a good Oh that's a good question. Book,
29:37
Speaker 1: great Christmas all my children. You know. The last book
29:42
Speaker 1: Resistance is futile.
29:43
Speaker 3: It is.
29:45
Speaker 1: It is exactly what's happening right now. Liberals just have
29:49
Speaker 1: lost their minds with with Trump. The point of the
29:51
Speaker 1: book is because because they hate Trump so much, they
29:54
Speaker 1: can't make they can't make serious, solid arguments, and they
29:58
Speaker 1: just keep helping him with their with their lunatic hysterion.
30:02
Speaker 1: I go through several examples of that. So that's a
30:04
Speaker 1: great one and Trump we trust also great now that
30:07
Speaker 1: he's being the man I wrote the book.
30:09
Speaker 2: About which okay, goot drive your approve.
30:13
Speaker 1: Adios America of course, which which set off the phenomenon
30:17
Speaker 1: that is the Trump.
30:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we recommend this for a lot of authors.
30:23
Speaker 2: You could go to a store a lot of stories
30:25
Speaker 2: look for to get people books. It's a great gift.
30:27
Speaker 2: It's nobody can complain. It's a it's a very important thing.
