• 0:28
  Speaker 2: We'll explain now. Yesterday last night, there were two races,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: two primaries, Indiana and Ohio, that were very important to
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Republicans to Donald Trump. Won't go through all the it's
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: too boring to go through all the details. But there
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: were a bunch of people running in Indiana that Trump
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: didn't like. Some of them were Republicans that had worked
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: against him. He wanted to get rid of them, so
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: he supported their opponents. And in Ohio there were people
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: he was back. There were a lot of people who
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: was backing in Ohio and Indiana. Yesterday last night, they
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: all every single one won by landslides. Now you know
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: whenever a Republican candidate loses. There was that little tiny
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: state Senate race in Palm Beach. The Republican lost. Front
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: page news, Maga is over, trumps coattails are gone, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: there was another race somewhere, the little race somewhere where
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the Trump back candidate didn't win. Front page news. Lead's
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: story on the nightly news whole first ten minutes of
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the hour on MSNBC. How obviously the magic of Trump
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: is well. Yesterday was stunning, how many Trump backed candidates
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: surprisingly won, and one on one by fifty percent, staggering.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: You'll hear no mention of it on the news later.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: It won't be on the front page of the New
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: York Time, it won't be anywhere. Let's just pretend they
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: didn't see it. So Marco Rubio surprised a lot of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: people yesterday. Now, of course, he's always been thought of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: as a very smart, articulate sort of a guy, knowledgeable guy.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Talk of him as a possible twenty twenty eight candidate.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Of course, they talk about Jay d Vance and Rubio.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: So Caroline Levitt, the White House Press secretary, is out
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: on maternity leave. She left, so Rubio did the daily
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: briefing with the press. Marco Rubio did the daily briefing
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and stunned everybody they knew he was a smart, articulate guy.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: But they said, well, maybe he doesn't know how to
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: handle the press conference. And you know, these reporters can
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: be pretty brutal. He dazzled them, absolutely dazzled them. He
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: was so knowledgeable, he was charming, he was authoritative. He
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: handled the press brilliantly. He did some of it in Spanish,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: some of it are Italians, and most of it in English.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: He just wowed everybody. They couldn't believe it. His stock
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: went way up yesterday. Whatever they asked him. Straight of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: horror moves.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: There is no international law that allows you to say
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna put minds in an international body of water
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to blow up ships that don't listen
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: to us and try to go through. That's what Iran
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: is doing. This is a criminal act and someone needs
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to do something about it. Something needs to be done.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: It's completely illegal, completely illegitimate, and completely unaccepted.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, people learned a lot. You should go go
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: online and watch the whole thing. You learn a lot
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: of stuff.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: But Iran must accept the reality of this situation and
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: come to the negotiation table and accept terms that are
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: good for them but ultimately good for the world.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: The diplomatic path.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: If there's a real diplomatic path, I'm not know what's
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: going to be one, but if there's a real diplomatic path,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: then we continue to explore it. Steve and Jarreed are
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: working on that very hard. If there is one there,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: it could be one that leads them to reconstruction, to prosperity,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and to stability.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now democratsal yelling scream, well, obviously we're in a stalemate. Yeah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: it's the greatest stalemate in history for US. We got
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the straight clothes, which means nobody can get any oil
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: from Iran. We don't need it, we don't buy it,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and then have to start buying oil from US, which
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: is great. We're the biggest supplier in the world. Now
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it also means with the straight close, the entire Iranian
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: economy is shut down. They have zero revenue. This has
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: been going on for weeks, two months of zero revenue.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: They're about to run out of cash. So it's a
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: great steal. Mate. Now, what about the War Powers Act?
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: The War Powers Act is unconstitutional. Now, this is not
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: the position of me, not the position of the President
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: United States. Now, this is the position of every single
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: president that has occupied this position since the day that
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: law passed. It's completely unconstitutional.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now, of course, you know the Democrats always famous
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: for that hypocrisy and yelling at Trump you can't continue.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: This is a violation of the war power. Is that. Well,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: every single president did the same exact thing. Obama and Libya,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: you can go down the whole list, Clinton and Bosnia, Bush,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: everybody's done the same exact thing. You don't need to worry.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: But they'll say this is different. This is two months.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: This is an endless war. It's two months. Remember that
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Obama war that was seven months without any War Powers
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Act seven months. Rubio, you know he's Cube, and he
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: talked about Cuba.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: There's no oil blockade on Cuba per se. Here's what's
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: happening with Cube, okay.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Qba used to get free oil from Venezuela.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Used to give him a bunch of free oil.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: They would take like sixty percent of that oil and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: resell it for cash.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't even go to benefit the people.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: So the only blockade that's happened is the Cubans have decided,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Venezuelans have decided we're not giving you
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: free oil anymore. And you can only imagine nowadays the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: will prices are No one's giving away free oil, much
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: less to a failed regime.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was great. He really, really really impressed
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: people yesterday. So this is one of the most fascinating stories. Mom,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Donnie gets himself elected. Now. He's a great campaigner, he's
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a great talker. He was, remember he was at one percent.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: He got really lucky, really lucky. The candidates in that
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Democratic primary, some that might have beaten him, but they
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: got really lucky. Andrew Cuomo old death of a salesman.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo jumps into the primary, a guy who could
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: never win a Democratic primary ever again, could never get
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: elected in New York again. He killed too many people,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: too much blood on his hands. He killed all those
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: thousands and thousands in the nursing homes, and then he
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: killed many more thousands with his no bail, no jail,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: let the criminals back out, his closing the prisons, letting
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the prisoners out. He changed the parole boards. That was
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: all left wing wackos. They let everybody out, including forty
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: three cop killers. So so many people died as a
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: result him not to mention the other bad policies he
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: closed the Indian Point, which rose everybody's electric bill rose
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: twenty five percent as a result. He killed fracking, which
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: made your electric bill go up another fifty percent. I mean,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: it was just ridiculous. So he was never going to
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: get elected. So that's was such a break from mom Donnie.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: So that's how he won the primary. Cuomo has killed
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: all the other candidates, and Cuomo couldn't win. And then
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: in both primary debates, Mom Donnie just slapped them around.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Cuomo's the world's worst debater, and that's how Mom Donnie
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: got the nomination. As they say, once you got the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Democratic nomination, you're probably gonna win. So he gets he's
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: a brilliant campaigner, brilliant debater talker, but a manager. No,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: he's never run anything. He's never had a job, he's
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: never been in business. He was just like a crazy
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: left wing radical college student. So he does not have
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: run anything. So he's attacking the billionaires. He wants to
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: tax the rich. He wants to close Park Avenue and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: make it a pedestrian a park, a mall, I mean,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: just crazy stuff, free supermarkets. He have no idea how
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to open a supermarket if you wanted to open a supermarket.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: It cost two million dollars according to every supermarket. He
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: wants to spend thirty for a tiny one, a tiny,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: little crappy one thirty million. It'll never open though, don't
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: You'll never see it. Free buses the camp can't be done.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: He has no power to do that. Free rant can't
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: do it. So then he declares war with the He
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: comes up with this Pieta tear tax, which, by the way,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: was created by Andrew Cuomo. I don't know if he
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: created it, but he was the first one pushing it
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: wherever he found it. He was the one that started
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: pushing this Pieta tear attacks when he was governor. So
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: he decides to make a video. This is all he does.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: He can't he's not a manager. He doesn't actually do
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: anything as far as running the city. He's an instagrammer,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: a TikToker. He's the TikTok mayor. So he makes all
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: these videos. He made a video. He thought this is
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: gonna go viral. Well he was right, it did go viral.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: He goes right outside, right over there, that's where Ken
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Griffin lives, two twenty Central Park South. He went outside
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: his building, did a video identifying the building saying this
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: is where Ken Griffin lives, pointing at it and bad
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: mouthing Ken Griffin, who's one of our biggest tax payers.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot of wealthy people New York, but
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: it's just a handful of billionaires and they pay most
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: of the tax. Now, the problem is Democrats, especially Mamdani,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: but all Democrats don't believe in science. They never follow
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the science. There's a science to running an economy. We
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: know what works, we know what doesn't. Scientifically, we've shown
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: it socialism, for instance, socialism. We tested that ten thousand times,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: ten thousand times over and over. We've tested social Every
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: experiment with it shows it's a failure one hundred percent
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: of the time. But here's this guy pushing socialism. They
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: just don't follow the science. They don't care. Also, when
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: you have an economy and you want tax revenue, let's
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: say that's your big goal, tax revenue. The people that
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: give it to you are Ken Griffins. You need a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: bunch of Ken Griffins to get a lot of tax revenue.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: If any of them move, you lose a lot of
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: tax revenue. Ken Griffin pays billions and billions in billions
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: every year in tax revenue in New York. If he moved,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: he could lose five billion dollars right there in revenue
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: every year. Not just personally, but he has a lot
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: of business here, and he's about to He owns a
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: lot of businesses here. He was about to build a
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: new skyscraper fifty second in Park. It was it was
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: going to spend six billion to build this skyscraper, six billion.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: It would take six thousand construction jobs about five years.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: There would be six thousand construction jobs to build it,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and then when the building opens, it would employ fifteen
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: thousand people, fifteen thousand permanent jobs. It would bring in
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: billions in revenue. The guy already pays billions and billions
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: every year to New York and tax revenue. He also
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: just personally gives away about seven hundred million every year
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: for charity, just here in New York. This is the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: kind of guy. If you're the mayor or the governor
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: and the guy announces this six billion dollar project, he's
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: to create fifteen thousand chaps, you're supposed to call the
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: guy say would you like to meet Let you meet
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: with him. What can we do to help? How can
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I help you get this project. That's what you're supposed
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: to do. The mayor targets him. Ken Griffin now responding,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: and he's right. He said, what Mom Donnie did with
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: that video showing my house, it was creepy, weird. Targeting
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: an individual.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: They see of United Healthcare was killed just a few
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: blocks from my house. And anything that creates like an
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: agitation in the extremist on either side of the aisle
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: is a frightening dynamic.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, if we look at what happened
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: in DC.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: He's targeting this guy personally, it's unbelievable.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: So what are you going to do about Mom Donnie?
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So, first of all, for New York public schools, I'm
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: happy to buy a copy of Animal Farm for every
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: ninth grader.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sad.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And Mayor Mundahmy, you just shoot me an email, give
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: me the delivery address.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: I'll get them shipped right away.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So he's speaking at this Aspen conference. Now, Chicago
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: had a crazy socialist kookie mayor who gave him a
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: hard time. So, and he had massive business, commercial interests
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: stuff in Chicago. He moved it. That's where he lived.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: He lived in Chicago, So after the mayor did all
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: this stuff to him, he just packed up and left,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: and he took all his commercial business with him, moved
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: it to Miami, where he has enormous stuff in Miami,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: created a lot of jobs, pays a lot of money
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: in Miami property tax and commercial tax, so he could
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: close up all this New York stuff and take it
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: to Miami. And he was asked about that.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And now what the Mayor of New York has made
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: clear to my partners, and principally my.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: New York partners, my New York partners.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Is that we need to double down on our bet
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: in Miami because we want to be in a state
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: that embraces that embraces business, that embraces education, that embraces
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: personal freedom and liberty, and that embraces people having an
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: opportunity to live the American dream.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Now again, you got two problems. One, as they say,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: democrats never follow the science when it comes to an economy,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: when it comes to crime, they just don't follow the science.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: And Mom, Donnie, besides all that has no experience none
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: as doesn't know anything about managing. He's never even had
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: a job, never been in business, never run anything. So
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: he should be settling this right away, but he's holding
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: his ground. This crazy little mom. Donnie Ken Griffin probably
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: would be speaking out more and more about this.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Turn me into a political puppet was just in poor taste,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: really poor taste. The tax itself is a tax that
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: discriminates against a narrow group of people. Is also disconcerting.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: You know, our company is thinking about making a six
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: billion dollar investment in New York City three fifty Park, right,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: are they going to now have a special tax rate
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: for those that own office buildings who live out of state?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Like, where's this stop in New York.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: It's the dumbest thing ever. It's just democrats. They don't
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: follow the science. Now, let's say you had a restaurant.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Now you got your regular customers, you appreciate their regular customers.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Then you got your super regular customers. I mean guys
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: like that come in all the time every week and
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: they order all kinds of expensive wines and their checks
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: are eight thousand and six thousand. Hedge fund guys. They
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: come in all the time. You should be fawning all
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: over them. You wouldn't target them, you wouldn't put special
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: taxes on them. You would never want to drive them
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: out of your restaurant. It'd be insane, it'd be the
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: stupidest thing you can do. And if your business is
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: tax revenue, this guy's one of your top five customers.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Probably you should be. You know, other mayors not only
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: would meet with them, say here's my cell number. If
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: you ever have a problem, if you need anything, call me.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: That's the way you're supposed to treat guys like that,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: because all they'll do is pump money and create jobs.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Pump money into the city and create thousands of jobs. Hey,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next eight hundred three two one
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number, eight hundred Hey. By
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the way, we just got the word Ted Turner has
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: passed away. Ted Turner just died moments ago, the founder,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: of course of CNN, And uh, well, we'll talk about him.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Ted Turner. He just passed away. We'll
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: get to that coming up. But we'll take some calls.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Next eight hundred three two one zero seven ten,
