• 0:38
  Speaker 2: How you doing, hey.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Mark doing well? Really good. I think the economy is
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: looking better every day, although in a little worried about
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the issue with what's going on and around. But if
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we can get that oil price down, I think all
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: systems are going. We've got a construction boom going on
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in manufacturing, investment boom, as Larry Cudler would say, so
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: we got a stock market boom. So I like, what's
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: going on America. But we got to do something about
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: getting that straight of horror moves. Every time we think
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we're past that crisis, it seems that were uped again.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, but we intensified bombing. If this goes for let's
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: say eight weeks at the most, we could get through that,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: can't we.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and well listen, I mean, I'm not an expert
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: on foreign policy, but I'm here to say that when
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: when that you know, energy, those own energy channels are
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: back open, there's a very good chance we're going to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: see a real economic boom. By the way, you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: we had to doll up at over fifty three thousand.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I think it's fallen a little bit since then, but
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that's so incredible. I mean, when I first came to Washington,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it was one thousand, fifty three thousand. That shows you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the power of the American economy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, explain this to me years ago, many many
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: years here. Nelson Rockefeller his dream was to run for president,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: but he had been divorced. Yeah, they said, well a
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: divorce man, it's just too much. You can't run for president.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: How is it now? You could have a Nazi tattoo
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: on your chest while you're raping some and it's fine,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that's that's no what happened.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Well, this is a real shame in the Democratic Party,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: by the way that you know, uh, what's his name again, Graham,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: what's the platinum platin. Yeah. I mean, first of all,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you know, he emerges on the scene and he's the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: dowling of the Democrats, right, He's the next big thing
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party, and he's a working man's guy
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and out of the h don't don't you know, never
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: mind the fact that he has a Nazi tattoo, and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: never mind that he has all these allegations of uh,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you know, abusing women, et cetera, et cetera. But you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: all the Democrats in the Senate, Oh, he's wonderful. Bernie
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Sanders says he's my guy, and so does Elizabeth Warren.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: But then he starts falling in the polls, right, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the bloom is off the rose.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So what do they do. They throw him under the bus,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and they say, we got to get rid of this guy.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And so now he's out, and now the Democratic establishment
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: will pick their own candidate. Gee. That sounds a lot
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: like what they did to Joe Biden. Right.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Ye hey, let me just I noticed the way the socialists,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: these democratics socialists, The way that socialism works is everybody
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: gets nothing and the people running it get everything. You know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: city council take it rich. Yeah, city councils voting themselves
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: are raised. Even this crazy governor wants everybody turned their
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: thermostat up. People are reporting, oh my god. Reporters have
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: gone into city hall and checked the temperature that bring thermometers.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: They have it at sixty eight. Why do we have
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to be seventy eight?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a big story. We have this in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: our hotline today. By the way, people can get that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: just go to on lease first thirty dot com and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: get it for free. But this story about Hockel, what
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: she wants to do is regulate, have the government regulate
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the temperature of your house. So do you remember I'm Mark,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I think you and I I'm a little maybe a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: little bit older than you. Remember Jimmy Carter and his
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: fireside chats. It's a car to get sweater or the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: exist that you know, everybody's got to turn down their thermostat,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you know, turn up, you know, cold winter months because
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: we're running out of energy. That seems to be the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: canty Hochel you know idea that she we're gonna and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: now they've got this kind of Orwellian idea that if
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you pay that if you pay the utility companies, they
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: will pay you three hundred dollars a year if you'll
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: let them regulate the temperature of your house.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, so no, what you say is they're not suggesting
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: seventy eight they would install a thermostat that they can
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: control from somewhere.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly what I mean, that's like George Orgewell or
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: well stuff. I mean, so what Hoka wants us to say,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you should really shouldn't have your temperature And the Europeans
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: have been doing this too, you know, not set below
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: seventy eight degrees in the summer and not above sixty
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: eight degrees in the winter. What you have to wear
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a parker in your house in the winter, and you're
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: gonna have to paint stop in your house in the summer.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is craziness, it really is. And so
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the idea that the government can go can regulate the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: temperature house, I mean, are there are no individual rights
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and there are no limits on the power of government. Yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And if they do that, if they got away with that,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: they would next do it to your television, set your
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: oven every time. So so this November, everybody start here.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Everybody throw Kathy Hokle out and vote in Bruce Blakeman
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: in November. Let's start there, and hopefully it starts a
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: movement to get rid of these These socialists will all
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: just wear themselves out, and you know they'll be gone
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: in two years, won't they?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I hope. So. I mean, I think one of the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: tragedies of our country right now, frankly, Mark, is that
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: we've got our great cities like New York, in Chicago
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and Los Angeles and now including Seattle, that are run
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: by basically left wing socialists, and they're destroying our great cities.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a very sad thing to see. And
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: so you know what, the survival of our cities really
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is dependent on getting rid of these people. I mean,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: look at you know, I love this headline the other
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: day and the New York Times. It is that you know, gee,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: all the landlords are really surprised and the government officials
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: that people aren't paying their rent. Well, gee, maybe if
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you tell people you don't have to pay your rent
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and you'll never be evicted, people won't pay their rent. Yeah,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that's what's happening.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: So hey, you probably saw this building collapse we have here.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: They're so busy worrying about my thermostat. Why aren't they
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: doing a bad job of approving If you look at
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: what they did adding twenty stories on top of whill
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: approve that, why don't they work on that approval process
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: a little more.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a great point. And you know, the government
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: is so involved in things like climate change policy and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: so on, they're neglecting the things that really matter, which
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: is safety. And you know, you guys have very strict
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: climate change policies in New York. You wouldn't be running
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: out of energy today, by the way, in New York,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't have to be regulating people's thermostats. New York
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: has a lot of energy. You know, you've got your
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: right there in the shale formation. And you've seen the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: charts in our book that show that. You know that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is taking all your energy. You know that they're
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: drilling the known in New York and taking out your
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: energy because you won't drill for it. You wouldn't have
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to be paying so high utility bills in New York
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: if you just went through your by the way, est him,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: it's three billion dollars a year you've lost because of
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: these crazy climate change which, by the way, are doing
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: nothing to change the temperature of the planet.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're sitting on top of natural guests. Also, that
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: crazy Andrew Cuomo closed Indian point that nuclear plant was
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: twenty five percent of our energy. What was the argument
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: against nuclear It's as clean as can be, isn't it?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: It sure is. And by the way, I don't think
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I've seen the latest polls, but the first time in
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: fifty years of majority of Americans now support climate change,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I mean nuclear power. So that's pretty amazing thing. The
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: nuclear power is clean, it's sufficient, it's cheap, it's abundant.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You don't run out of it. I don't think we're
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: running out of atoms.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: To you, if you were to drill we're sitting on
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: top of all this natural gas. If you were to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: drill that, not only would you fix our energy problem.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: But doesn't that doesn't that create a ton of jobs
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: all over the state.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Oh? Sure it does. And look at by the way,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: if you think I'm exaggerating folks, look what happened in Germany.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Because Germany went all in on wind power and solar
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: power about fifteen years ago, and they've damn near deindustrialized
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the whole state, I mean the whole country. You know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: they couldn't make dmw's and stuff because the energy was
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: so expensive. They're finally coming around to saying, wait a minute,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this isn't really working, so let's not follow the losers.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: And that's what New York does too often. There's nothing
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: that could New York can make a big comeback. Just
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: get somebody in there and cut taxes, cut regulation, get
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: rid of these crazy green energy policies, and we will
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: see a New York get rich again.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Bruce Blakeman November, like our Ron DeSantis, he could
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: turn this whole thing around.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, by the way, the last thing I know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: rut in Town. I saw a speech by Lee Elden.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: He spoke at our conference last week on you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: what was called Prosperity to fifty, and he was talked
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: about all the things they're doing to deregulate the economy.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And because he said ahead of EPA, that guy is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: so damn impross. He's so smart. And I'm like, the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: voters of New York voted for Kathy Hochel over this guy.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if Lee Zelden were governor today,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: boy in New York would be in great shape.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thanks for rubbing it in. Don't make that mistake.
• 9:27
