  Speaker 1: He's more marks, So mark'simone show on seventeen wor Well.

  Speaker 1: Liz peak brilliant column list, you know, besides her column,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: besides all the TV. You can also check out her websites.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: One of the best news sites with all sorts of
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: great stories every day, lizpeak dot com. Lizpeak dot com.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Check it out, Liz Peak.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: How you doing, good morning, I'm terrific. Thank you.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: How about you? I'm good. Let's see President Trump says
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: he will meet with Mom Donnie. Mom Donnie says he'll
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: go to Washington meet with him. How do you think
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that would go?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Look, I think that's actually a good idea on both
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: of their parts. To have New York City basically be
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: orphaned or estranged from the mothership, the federal mothership doesn't
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: really help anybody, right. I can't imagine that Mom Donnie
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and Donald Trump will have much in common or much
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: common ground, let's put it that way. But I think
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: it's a good idea. And look, it's one of the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: first things that this radical thirty four year old anti
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Semite has said that makes them sound like a slightly
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: normal person. So that's very welcome, right, Yeah.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: They do have something in common. They're both were of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: these outsiders who came in and just crushed these political
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: dynasties and beat them. Do you think you know Trump
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: could be good one on one sometimes.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yes he can, Yes he can. But Mark, yes, I've
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: seen this idea before that they have in common, that
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: they're outsiders. Let's remember that Donald Trump had decades of
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: actual work experience, actually built things, created wealth, and in
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the process, let's face that, worked with a lot of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: city governments and municipalities and state governments in trying to
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: get various projects underway, get them completed, et cetera. Mom
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Donnie has zero of any value whatsoever. All he has
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: is a big smile, uh, and you know, a resume
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: as a community activist. I don't put them in the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: same boat at all.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, no, it sounds perfect. You know, there's
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of other mom Donnie's out there getting ready
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to go. And there's a couple other cities where they
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: got a Mom Donnie type, somebody with no work experience,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: lives in their parents' basement running and Bill Mahra's a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Friday night is warning the Democrats stop with this stuff.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: But where are the elder Democrats the party elders, where
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: are they on this?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It's It's astounding, isn't it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: We had Julian Epstein on the Democrats strategists this morning
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: on Mornings with Maria and as he said, Trump occupies
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the middle. Now that's what that's what's making Democrats crazy.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: That is why they have gone so far to the left.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And I've said this for months. I mean, if Trump
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: is in the middle on taxes, regulation, energy policy, immigration,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: gender issues, et cetera, where does that leave the Democrats.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: It either leaves them basically working with Trump, which they
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: refuse to do because they've conjured up such hatred of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: this president that they cannot be seen as collaborators, if
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you will, or it drives some extreme left policies, which again,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and that says what I've Stein said too. It may
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: work in New York, it may work in Seattle or
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: San Francisco. They're not going to work in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: these states where Frankly, house seats are up for grabs
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: in purple districts, I mean, are they really and in
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: those parts of the country, are they going to want
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to elect a socialist? I don't think so.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Even at Kathy Huckel. She said, you'd assume she's the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: middle of the road type, and she's the governor that's
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: bigger than the mayor. How does she get so intimidated
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: by this Mum Donnie that she seems to want to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: go along with his nonsense.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: It's it's just it's not just Kathy Hokeel. It's every
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: New York Democrat right now is being primaried by someone
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: on the left, and that includes Kathy Hochel. Her Lieutenant
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Governor Antonio Delgado, who no one's ever heard of, may
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: end up giving her a real fight because Mam Donnie
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: likes him. They've you know, they've been campaigning together, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: he's far left like Mam Donnie. Kathy Hochel is in
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a terrible position because idiotically she gave von Donnie her endorsement,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: so she basically alienated all moderate Democrats in her party.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And now if she basically says, well, I endorsed him,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: but I'm not going to really go along with any
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: of his program, what does that make her out to be?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: What makes her out to be a completely insincere political animal,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: which is exactly what she is. So she will blow
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: with the wind. She is a book governor, and frankly,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I think Elis Fronk has a very good chance of
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: beating her if she's the candidate. I'm not sure she
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: will be the candidate, but we'll see. I mean, she
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: doesn't have a backbone mark and right now you need
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: some senior Democrats with backbones, who are moderates, who can
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: call out a socialist for being bad for the country, frankly,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: like Bill Maher is doing. I mean, who would have
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: funk it. He's the guy that's saying to a pretty
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: big audience, socialism doesn't work. This is what he just
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: said over the weekend, I guess or Friday. Socialism doesn't work.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: It has failed every place that's been tried. Look at Venezuela,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: formerly one of the richest countries on Earth, now one
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: of the poorest in South America. You know, just common sense, folks,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and history, things that apparently are not in great supply
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: on the left right now.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, litsz pick if you're watching the Sunday shows, Oh
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you hear about? Is this affordability crisis? What an affordability crisis?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: How come during Biden when inflation was nine percent, I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: never heard a word about this affordability crisis.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Why now, Yeah, it's rich, isn't it. I think Democrats
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: fastened on this only after mom Donnie did so kudos
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: to him for giving them sort of a lifeline here.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And yeah, things are expensive, mainly because they went up.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Eighty seven percent of the increase in prices over the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: last five years came under Joe Biden. And yet to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: your point, that was mostly ignored by the mainstream media.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: But it is pretty rich because if you look at
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: the top ten cities in terms of cost of living,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: they are all run and have been run for decades
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: by Democrats. Democrats brand mark is high costs, high taxes,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: high regulatory burdens, high union labor costs, you name it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: They are imposing enormously high costs on the general public
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and have for a decade or more. And then you
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: add on to this layer of green energy, which is
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: also expensive, and you know, you have a recipe for
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: extremely inflated cost of living. And to try and tag
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: that on Republicans where we are talking lower taxes, lower regulation,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: fewer impediments to building, which by the way, means better
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: building costs because time is money and construction, you know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: It is just astounding that they have been able to
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: hijack this issue. We can't let that stand.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Very good point. Yeah, the affordability crisis seems to only
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: be taking place in blue cities and states. So yeah, well, yes,
• 7:39
