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