- 0:56Speaker 1: Money? Mark Alan? About Connor Edison, This is doesn't raise
- 1:01Speaker 1: the rates by the New York State Power Quality Connors
- 1:04Speaker 1: and Wires and Pipe Company as well as transmitting there.
- 1:08Speaker 1: They don't get a portion of the electrical rate that
- 1:11Speaker 1: the customers played in New York. We don't generate electricity
- 1:14Speaker 1: nor more. We just transmitted we have a couple of
- 1:17Speaker 1: spots substations in Hudson over a story up in Ravenswood.
- 1:22Speaker 1: But good bye, good back to stand by in case
- 1:24Speaker 1: something goes wrong out out state or in Pennsylvania.
- 1:27Speaker 2: No, all right, well thanks for the information.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Yeah, but again, Andrew CMO shutting down our nuclear plant
- 1:34Speaker 3: that cost us twenty five percent of our electricity, driving
- 1:37Speaker 3: the cost up like crazy. You got Hochel and all
- 1:40Speaker 3: the rest, and refuse to do fracking. If you just
- 1:42Speaker 3: allowed fracking, your electric bill would really drop. But Democrats
- 1:46Speaker 3: are not big on affordability. Let's go to Jim in Michigan. Jim,
- 1:50Speaker 3: how you doing.
- 1:52Speaker 5: Hey, Mark, with the people in Greenland, see the sheriff
- 1:55Speaker 5: in Philadelphia, I could see.
- 1:56Speaker 6: Them getting a little bit nervous.
- 1:58Speaker 5: And I don't know why.
- 1:59Speaker 4: You people up in the northeast a little snow and
- 2:01Speaker 4: you people thought, you know, people act like you never
- 2:04Speaker 4: saw a snow before.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's fun.
- 2:09Speaker 3: You know the problem is we haven't had We've had
- 2:10Speaker 3: a couple winners of very little snow. Let's go to
- 2:13Speaker 3: Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing?
- 2:16Speaker 2: Good morning? Mark?
- 2:17Speaker 7: Yes, Mike, I'd like to have the viagra concession in Davos.
- 2:21Speaker 7: I can tell you that.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Well, what did Greg Gutfeld call it?
- 2:25Speaker 3: The uh, the Coachella of the Sialis version of Colalla.
- 2:33Speaker 6: That's a good one too. You know, I wanted to
- 2:35Speaker 6: point out this, This thing that's going on in Minnesota
- 2:38Speaker 6: is a classic example of how the Democrats and Republicans
- 2:42Speaker 6: approach the same story, and one wins and one loses.
- 2:45Speaker 6: You know, Republicans institute this.
- 2:48Speaker 7: Policy, the Democrats go crazy. They accused the Republicans of
- 2:51Speaker 7: creating havoc and chaos. Then no Democrat equivocates. No Democrat
- 2:57Speaker 7: will come out and say, well, we should rethink it,
- 2:59Speaker 7: But every republic can, no matter where they are. We'll
- 3:02Speaker 7: start to clutch their polls.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Oh maybe this, maybe.
- 3:06Speaker 7: We should do this, Maybe we should back down, Maybe
- 3:08Speaker 7: we should say this way, maybe we should message it
- 3:10Speaker 7: that way.
- 3:11Speaker 6: It doesn't work. Every time they do it.
- 3:13Speaker 7: The Democrats take it as a gang.
- 3:15Speaker 6: And a victory. It doesn't matter if it's an inch
- 3:18Speaker 6: or a mile.
- 3:20Speaker 2: That's true.
- 3:20Speaker 3: Well, listen, the real problem is you got to public
- 3:23Speaker 3: officials in Minnesota ginning this up, telling the crowd to
- 3:26Speaker 3: literally go physically confront Ice, interfere with their operations. That's
- 3:31Speaker 3: just a recipe for total disaster. As we've seen, any
- 3:35Speaker 3: responsible official would be on television telling them back off.
- 3:39Speaker 3: If you want to protest, stay across the street, and
- 3:42Speaker 3: any responsible public officials will have police there to make
- 3:45Speaker 3: sure the protesters are separate from Ice and not physically
- 3:50Speaker 3: contacting them or being that aggressive. Let's go to Ann
- 3:53Speaker 3: in Connecticut and how you doing?
- 3:56Speaker 4: My good?
- 3:56Speaker 2: How are you good? Where are you in Connecticut?
- 4:00Speaker 6: East Campton, East Hampton?
- 4:02Speaker 4: Not twenty miles north? Yeah, it about twenty miles north,
- 4:04Speaker 4: as the world Favoritok.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Oh, and you got fifteen inches yeah.
- 4:09Speaker 4: About that pilot twelve somewhere around there. I'd like you
- 4:14Speaker 4: to comment to make about what the mayor I'm saying,
- 4:17Speaker 4: and then saying how many more lives is it going
- 4:21Speaker 4: to take? And I'm thinking, well, if you help us
- 4:23Speaker 4: catch the people that are killing Americans, the illegal immigrants,
- 4:26Speaker 4: how many lives has Americans lost?
- 4:29Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 4:29Speaker 3: Well that's that's the other point. If Renee Good had
- 4:32Speaker 3: been killed by any illegal alien, you think you'd have
- 4:34Speaker 3: ever heard about it, You think it would ever be
- 4:36Speaker 3: in the news. I don't think so let's go to
- 4:39Speaker 3: Rich and Myrtle Beach. Rich How you doing.
- 4:42Speaker 5: Hey, thanks Mark. We're getting screwed down here with all electricity.
- 4:45Speaker 5: They instituted a peak hours now where in the winter
- 4:48Speaker 5: time at six to nine am, and in the summertime
- 4:51Speaker 5: it's three to six pm. So they bang you for
- 4:53Speaker 5: eight bucks just to having your refrigerator on during that time,
- 4:56Speaker 5: even if you don't raise the heat or anything. Then
- 4:58Speaker 5: I find out that our paddle Cup Moniori County Power
- 5:01Speaker 5: is owned by the state and doesn't have to answer
- 5:04Speaker 5: to a utility board or a complaints department, So they
- 5:08Speaker 5: runt of the total monopoly down here. Might winter bill
- 5:11Speaker 5: for January or February the last couple of years would
- 5:13Speaker 5: have been ninety nine two one hundred dollars. Now it's
- 5:15Speaker 5: one hundred and forty eight to one hundred and sixty
- 5:17Speaker 5: three dollars. And I can't get any politician down here
- 5:20Speaker 5: to do anything. And they raise their rates based on
- 5:22Speaker 5: this board that's overrunning this power company, which is appointed
- 5:26Speaker 5: by the governor. And this is a Republican state. We're
- 5:28Speaker 5: getting screwed big time now.
- 5:30Speaker 3: So this myth about moving to South Carolina. North Carolina
- 5:33Speaker 3: you'll save a fortune, not one hundred percent true.
- 5:35Speaker 5: Right, Well, here's another one, because we were getting gas
- 5:38Speaker 5: at the pump at two twenty two last week, also
- 5:41Speaker 5: now jumped to two sixty nine and two sixty three.
- 5:44Speaker 5: And sometimes I'll see two stations right next to each other.
- 5:46Speaker 5: One one is two twenty nine, the other one is
- 5:48Speaker 5: two fifty nine. I don't know what the hell's going
- 5:51Speaker 5: on here in this country, because all of a sudden
- 5:52Speaker 5: you went from two twenty five cents gas to two
- 5:56Speaker 5: dollars sixty three overnight. And has it come down yet?
- 5:59Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, it's a lot of local you know, gases
- 6:02Speaker 3: two fifty all over America. Here in New York three
- 6:04Speaker 3: fifty four bucks. That's all state local nonsense, taxes, fees,
- 6:08Speaker 3: all kinds of Hey, when we come back to the
- 6:09Speaker 3: best county executive in America and the man who should
- 6:12Speaker 3: be and I think we'll be the next governor of
- 6:14Speaker 3: New York, Bruce Blakeman. Will talk to him next on
- 6:17Speaker 3: seven to ten wor
