0:17
Speaker 2: be in the mid forties. It's snow is melting everywhere.
0:21
Speaker 2: Speaking of that, we'll get to mom Donnie and the
0:23
Speaker 2: criticism of his snow shoveling efforts. Also, we'll get to
0:27
Speaker 2: the snowball fight, as he called it. Arrest has been made.
0:31
Speaker 2: They got the first guy under arrest. We'll get to that.
0:34
Speaker 2: We'll get to President Trump, but Kamala Harris, we'll get
0:38
Speaker 2: to Netflix. We'll get to Vince McMahon, the subways, and
0:43
Speaker 2: a whole lot more in the Epstein hearings. Today's the
0:47
Speaker 2: day Hillary Clinton testifies. Tomorrow, Bill Clinton testifies. They've been
0:53
Speaker 2: granted all kinds of stuff. They don't have to go
0:56
Speaker 2: to Washington testify. The committee will come to them. The
1:00
Speaker 2: committee is in Chappaqua, New York right now. They're not
1:02
Speaker 2: gonna do it at Clinton's house. They're going to do
1:04
Speaker 2: it at the Performing Arts Center in Chappaqua, which looks
1:09
Speaker 2: like a nice building, this Chappaqua Performing Arts Center. They
1:12
Speaker 2: will do it there. They will video the whole thing
1:15
Speaker 2: record it. I don't know if we'll get to see
1:17
Speaker 2: it or when it will be released. The committee will
1:20
Speaker 2: do a press conference afterwards. It's supposed to happen later today,
1:24
Speaker 2: Hillary today, Bill Clinton Tomorrow. Hillary will testify today. Apparently
1:29
Speaker 2: she's going to say she didn't know Epstein. She's going
1:33
Speaker 2: to say, I don't think I ever met him. I
1:36
Speaker 2: don't know if I ever met him. I don't know
1:39
Speaker 2: if this is gonna hold up, since then they're gonna
1:44
Speaker 2: find that this pictures of her and Epstein together, and
1:46
Speaker 2: also they were pretty close to Gallaine Maxwell. In fact,
1:51
Speaker 2: there's pictures of Chelsea's wedding and Gallaine Maxwell sitting there
1:55
Speaker 2: at Chelsea's wedding. So I don't know if they're gonna
1:58
Speaker 2: get away with that. Now she's gonna say, well, Bill
2:02
Speaker 2: went on some business trips with him, and tomorrow Bill
2:07
Speaker 2: will have to testify. Now there's pictures of Bill in
2:10
Speaker 2: various hot tubs with Epstein, women and Gallaine and that
2:16
Speaker 2: sort of stuff, And it's not going to be easy
2:17
Speaker 2: to answer all that. But Bill Clinton, unlike Hillary, Bill
2:21
Speaker 2: Clinton is very smooth, very good. You remember he had
2:25
Speaker 2: to go through a terrible deposition in the Monica Lewinsky hearings.
2:30
Speaker 2: It's online, you can see it. There's one private deposition
2:34
Speaker 2: in the White House. The video is online, you can
2:36
Speaker 2: find it where they go into graphic detail about the
2:40
Speaker 2: sex he had with her, even the cigar, I mean
2:44
Speaker 2: graphic detail about her body parts and what he did.
2:48
Speaker 2: And he's the camera's right on him the whole time,
2:51
Speaker 2: and he is very smooth at bobbing and weaving and
2:58
Speaker 2: dodging those questions, and so he'll do that with Epstein.
3:04
Speaker 2: Now it's pretty clear he had two reasons for being
3:07
Speaker 2: around Epstein. Epstein. Obviously there were lots and lots of women.
3:11
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean they were under age. There were a lot
3:13
Speaker 2: of women around that were not under age. He would
3:16
Speaker 2: provide whatever you liked, and for most of these guys
3:18
Speaker 2: it was not underage women. But there were a lot
3:21
Speaker 2: of women around. And Epstein had what they call check's appeal.
3:25
Speaker 2: He would write you massive checks, he would pay for everything.
3:30
Speaker 2: In fact, he helped it was Epstein who helped launch
3:32
Speaker 2: the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative. It was Epstein
3:36
Speaker 2: that financed a lot of that and got it going.
3:39
Speaker 2: So I guess Bill will have to answer for all
3:41
Speaker 2: of that. And he flew with them all over the place. Now,
3:46
Speaker 2: most of these guys start to lie when they're first
3:48
Speaker 2: asked about Epstein. They lie. A great example is Bill Gates,
3:52
Speaker 2: who for weeks and more than months and months he's
3:55
Speaker 2: been telling us, well, I think I went to his
3:57
Speaker 2: house once for a meeting. Remember that, Ye, I did
4:00
Speaker 2: go to town. It was a meeting about philanthropy. Well,
4:03
Speaker 2: it turned out he was all over the world with him.
4:06
Speaker 2: He now admits he was in France with him, Germany
4:09
Speaker 2: with him, He was here with them, there with him.
4:12
Speaker 2: He now admits there were a couple of women, which
4:14
Speaker 2: means there were thirty. So this could happen with Bill
4:17
Speaker 2: Clinton Hill. But he begain he's very good at dodging
4:21
Speaker 2: those questions. He actually is a lawyer, I believe. Yeah,
4:26
Speaker 2: he has a law degree. He'll be able to dodge
4:28
Speaker 2: those questions legally, and they'll eventually get him on more stuff.
4:32
Speaker 2: But we may see this coming up. Now there's a
4:37
Speaker 2: Harvard professor who's just been put on leave. You know
4:41
Speaker 2: a lot of people at Harvard in big trouble because
4:43
Speaker 2: they were so tangled up with Epstein. Larry Summers, former
4:46
Speaker 2: president of Harvard, big trouble because the email's back and
4:50
Speaker 2: forth with him and Epstein discussing women, and Epstein's guiding
4:54
Speaker 2: him on how to handle women and this and that.
4:56
Speaker 2: But now there's a Harvard math professor who just got
4:59
Speaker 2: put on leave for being tangled up with Epstein. It
5:02
Speaker 2: comes out in the Epstein files. But to give you
5:04
Speaker 2: an example what I mean by check's appeal, this is
5:08
Speaker 2: just a professor at Harvard, a math professor. Epstein gave
5:12
Speaker 2: him almost seven million dollars. Now, he supposedly was for
5:15
Speaker 2: a program he wanted to start. He's a math professor
5:18
Speaker 2: and he wanted to put together some sort of program.
5:20
Speaker 2: But Epstein wrote a check for seven million Tom. So
5:23
Speaker 2: that's why a lot of these guys are all over Epstein,
5:25
Speaker 2: especially these college people, college presidents and a lot of
5:29
Speaker 2: other people. He'll just write your massive checks and that
5:34
Speaker 2: you're going to make a lot of friends when you
5:35
Speaker 2: got a big, huge checkbook and you're writing checks like crazy. Hey,
5:39
Speaker 2: the Nancy Guthrie case. I don't know Savannah Guthrie's latest videos.
5:45
Speaker 2: She's now making it clear that she's fully accepted the
5:50
Speaker 2: possibility that their mother is no longer alive. She's accepting that. Apparently,
5:56
Speaker 2: the FBI yesterday made the final sweep of Nancy Guthrie's house.
6:01
Speaker 2: It's been closed, it's a crime scene, it's been locked up,
6:05
Speaker 2: but yesterday they did one final search and then apparently
6:10
Speaker 2: they're going to give the house back to the family,
6:13
Speaker 2: open it up again. It won't be a crime scene anymore.
6:16
Speaker 2: So that's pretty much admitting there's nothing else they can
6:19
Speaker 2: do at this point. Now they say there's still about
6:24
Speaker 2: three hundred to four hundred personnel on the case, but
6:28
Speaker 2: they're pretty much admitting there's nothing else they can do
6:31
Speaker 2: at this point except just go look for it. There's
6:33
Speaker 2: no physical evidence anymore. I'm sure they've been through all
6:36
Speaker 2: the phone data they can go through. You know, we've
6:39
Speaker 2: had kidnappings in the past where people just disappeared and
6:42
Speaker 2: were never found that one of the most famous ones.
6:45
Speaker 2: Was it in the thirties or forties, Remember Judge Crater.
6:49
Speaker 2: I think it was the thirties or forties. There was
6:51
Speaker 2: a famous New York judge, Judge Crater, and he was
6:55
Speaker 2: they think kidnapped. Know he was never seen again. It's
6:59
Speaker 2: now almost a hundred years later, we still don't know
7:01
Speaker 2: what happened to him. But for years in the fifties
7:05
Speaker 2: and sixties that comedians would always make jokes using Judge
7:08
Speaker 2: Crater as you know, to describe somebody who's totally disappeared
7:13
Speaker 2: and never be seen again. But there was Eton Pates,
7:17
Speaker 2: remember the young child who was they believed kidnapped and
7:20
Speaker 2: missing and we didn't know what happened to him for like,
7:23
Speaker 2: was it thirty forty years? So this has happened before,
7:27
Speaker 2: and that may be the case. It maybe at some
7:29
Speaker 2: point it turns up, some point it doesn't. But you
7:32
Speaker 2: got to accept the fact that it's almost four weeks
7:35
Speaker 2: now without her medication. He's not a pacemaker, most likely
7:40
Speaker 2: not alive. And in every kidnapping, when they want ransom,
7:44
Speaker 2: they send proof of life. They send a video of
7:47
Speaker 2: the person tied up or something like that. They never
7:49
Speaker 2: did that here. So now, as far as the Today Show,
7:53
Speaker 2: Hoda Cottby has been filling in for Savannah Guthrie and
7:58
Speaker 2: they've told her it's to be now an extended period.
8:01
Speaker 2: She'll stay there filling in for Savannah Guthrie indefinitely. At
8:06
Speaker 2: some point, at some point this is going to be over,
8:09
Speaker 2: and I guess Savannah Guthrie will return to the Today Show.
8:12
Speaker 2: Today's Show ratings have been way up. Could be as
8:15
Speaker 2: a result of the kidnapping and everybody going there to
8:18
Speaker 2: see what they have to say about it, but could
8:20
Speaker 2: also be NBC Nightly News is way up the Today Shows.
8:25
Speaker 2: They think it could be the Olympics too. The Olympics
8:27
Speaker 2: is bringing a lot of viewers into NBC, which would
8:30
Speaker 2: help the Today Show, which would help the Nightly News.
8:33
Speaker 2: But twenty three million people have watched the Olympics. Normally,
8:36
Speaker 2: network TV primetime, you're lucky if you get four million,
8:40
Speaker 2: Today's Show you're lucky if you get two million. So
8:42
Speaker 2: twenty three million all of a sudden watching the network.
8:45
Speaker 2: That makes a big, big difference. Hey, President Trump, the
8:50
Speaker 2: State of the Union was a great example of one
8:53
Speaker 2: of his single greatest talents. He is so good at
8:57
Speaker 2: bringing out the worst in his opponents. And when you're
9:00
Speaker 2: running against somebody, you got to sell yourself and you
9:02
Speaker 2: got to show how great you are. But you know,
9:05
Speaker 2: sometimes you can't always do that. But He's got this
9:07
Speaker 2: great technique of bringing out the worst in his opponents
9:11
Speaker 2: and then using that to contrast himself. So if you're
9:14
Speaker 2: an independent, you think Trump's done some good things. But
9:17
Speaker 2: you know, he's hard to take and I don't like
9:20
Speaker 2: his bedside manor. But then when you watch the State
9:23
Speaker 2: of the Union, the Democrats acting insane, acting totally nuts,
9:28
Speaker 2: acting so radically. He brought that out so well that
9:31
Speaker 2: the contrast between him and them. He looked so mainstream
9:34
Speaker 2: compared to these crazies. And they wouldn't stand for any heroes.
9:38
Speaker 2: They wouldn't stand even when he said, stand up. If
9:41
Speaker 2: you believe the first job of the government is to
9:43
Speaker 2: take care of the American people, not illegals, they wouldn't
9:46
Speaker 2: stand for that. And remember the crowd started to chant USA, USA.
9:53
Speaker 2: You never heard the request channing that. But while that
9:56
Speaker 2: was being chanted, that crazy representative talib you could see
10:01
Speaker 2: her yelling something while they were chanting USA, She's yelling something. Well,
10:06
Speaker 2: and it turns out that people around her said she
10:09
Speaker 2: was chanting KKK. Well, now there's a lot of people
10:14
Speaker 2: very upset about this, very upset about this. She was
10:17
Speaker 2: chanting KKK. I don't know anything more offensive she could
10:21
Speaker 2: have done. There are calls now to have her censured
10:24
Speaker 2: in Congress. That's a big step and that should happen.
10:29
Speaker 2: Trump tweeting out that she and elon Omar are mentally deranged.
10:34
Speaker 2: They should be institutionalized. This isn't him tweeting they had
10:40
Speaker 2: the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people, lunatics, mentally deranged
10:44
Speaker 2: and sick who frankly look like they should be institutionalized. Well,
10:48
Speaker 2: I don't agree, I don't disagree. If she was chanting
10:50
Speaker 2: that out, just just awful. Remember during the State of
10:56
Speaker 2: the Union he also mentioned our great mayor, Mom Donnie.
11:00
Speaker 2: If you're like communists, he's a great mayor. But here's
11:03
Speaker 2: Trump and.
11:03
Speaker 3: Even the new communists mayor of New York City. I
11:06
Speaker 3: think he's a nice guy. Actually speak to him alive.
11:09
Speaker 3: They had policy, but nice guy just said they want
11:12
Speaker 3: people to shovel snow. They got hit hard. Want them
11:17
Speaker 3: to shovel snow. But if you apply for that job,
11:20
Speaker 3: you need to show two original forms of I day
11:23
Speaker 3: at a Social Security card.
11:25
Speaker 2: Here's one silly guy, that mayor. Now, he's done pretty
11:29
Speaker 2: well in Manhattan. The snow has really really been taken
11:32
Speaker 2: care of in Manhattan. Queen's not so much, Brooklyn not
11:36
Speaker 2: so much. The Bronx actually got off much easier. While
11:38
Speaker 2: we got twenty four inches in Manhattan, they only got
11:40
Speaker 2: fourteen inches. The worst place is Staten Island. They got
11:44
Speaker 2: almost two feet in Staten Island. The borough president is
11:47
Speaker 2: veto Fasela. He's very upset. Now. Part of this is
11:51
Speaker 2: it's tough to deal with two feet, but apparently it's
11:54
Speaker 2: been neglected by Mandani and his snowplows, and the borough
11:58
Speaker 2: president very upset.
12:00
Speaker 4: Island was truly treated as a second class citizen this storm.
12:04
Speaker 2: Well it usually is, but it's not right.
12:07
Speaker 4: The city dropped the ball. Now would be find out
12:10
Speaker 4: that the state dropped the ball as well.
12:12
Speaker 2: While we were asking.
12:13
Speaker 4: For help and needed help here on Staten Island, we
12:15
Speaker 4: discovered that the State of New York sent about eighty
12:18
Speaker 4: personnel with trucks and plows and everything else to the
12:22
Speaker 4: state of Massachusetts. Like, who was thinking that that was
12:24
Speaker 4: a good idea?
12:25
Speaker 2: Well he's got a good point there. Now. The residents
12:27
Speaker 2: of Staten Island very upset.
12:29
Speaker 5: This is the worst I have ever seen this much snow.
12:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, now it's going to be warm forty today, forty tomorrow,
12:37
Speaker 2: I think forty seven on Saturday. That'll get rid of
12:39
Speaker 2: the snow once and for all, and then we'll get
12:41
Speaker 2: a little rain over the weekend, which is you need
12:43
Speaker 2: that that helps wash away the snow. So that's good news.
12:46
Speaker 2: Now the snowball fight, and this has got a lot
12:51
Speaker 2: of people upset. It was not a snowball fight, officers.
12:54
Speaker 2: Police officers are being assaulted with icy snowballs, being hit
12:57
Speaker 2: in the head, the face, everywhere. Mamdani said, it's just
13:02
Speaker 2: kids having a snowball fight, and was not kids. By
13:04
Speaker 2: the way, he's slightly modifying this now.
13:08
Speaker 1: I've said that what I saw was a snowball fight.
13:10
Speaker 2: It should be treated accordingly. He was one that got
13:12
Speaker 2: out of hand, but that's what it was, all right.
13:14
Speaker 2: First was a snowball fight. He's now admitting it got
13:16
Speaker 2: out of hand, but it was pretty bad. Now here's
13:20
Speaker 2: the good news. You remember, they have video of some
13:22
Speaker 2: of these guys throwing the snowballs. They finally arrested one
13:24
Speaker 2: of them. Hopefully they'll get the rest. But one of
13:27
Speaker 2: them has been arrested. He's twenty seven years old. That's
13:30
Speaker 2: not a kid twenty seven years old. He should be prosecuted.
13:34
Speaker 2: It is as salt. You can really hurt somebody with
13:37
Speaker 2: an icy snowball right in the face. It's not a
13:41
Speaker 2: good thing, cops, because several of them went to the hospital.
13:45
Speaker 2: You can get seriously hurt with a rock solid, icy
13:48
Speaker 2: snowball hit you. There's a Columbia University professor. Now, remember
13:52
Speaker 2: Colombia is a kooky, left wing, radical, crazy university. Now,
13:58
Speaker 2: don't go near Colombia. Don't send anybody Columbia. But the
14:01
Speaker 2: professor was joking about the cops getting hit with snowballs,
14:05
Speaker 2: and he put out some stupid tweet. His name is
14:09
Speaker 2: Anthony Zankis. He posted on x one of the NYPD
14:13
Speaker 2: officers hit with a snowball yesterday has succumbed to his
14:16
Speaker 2: injuries and was pronounced dead at one pm this afternoon.
14:19
Speaker 2: He's trying to be funny. The snowman he built with
14:23
Speaker 2: his two children, now fatherless, still stands on the lawn
14:26
Speaker 2: of his Levittown, Long Island home. So he's making fun
14:29
Speaker 2: of the whole thing. He's making fun of cops where
14:32
Speaker 2: they live. Families have fallen cops. I mean, this is
14:36
Speaker 2: the most disgusting tweet. The professor then went on to
14:42
Speaker 2: say those that are angry about the snowballs are pearl
14:46
Speaker 2: clutching conservatives having a meltdown. So this is Columbia University. Now,
14:50
Speaker 2: any rational, normal institution would fire this guy immediately or
14:55
Speaker 2: at least suspend them, put him on leave and investigate. Now,
14:58
Speaker 2: this is radical raizy Colombia. Most likely they'll do nothing
15:03
Speaker 2: because Colombia is a horrible, horrible place right now. In fact,
15:07
Speaker 2: they should just shut down the whole place right and
15:08
Speaker 2: just shut it right down. All fundings should be cut off.
15:12
Speaker 2: Colombia is going to take them minimum of twenty years
15:16
Speaker 2: to recover their reputation for all of this. Hey, we
15:19
Speaker 2: got a lot to get to today. We'll take some calls.
15:22
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
15:26
Speaker 2: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Oh,

Speaker 2: this one open to the public and the seating is limited.

17:42
Speaker 2: phone and video everywhere, you got to give them credit
17:45
Speaker 2: for showing restraint. Now, the good old days before there
17:48
Speaker 2: was video, before there was anybody had a phone, and
17:51
Speaker 2: the good old days, they would have responded that night
17:54
Speaker 2: sticks would have come out and they would get as
17:57
Speaker 2: as Curtis would say, a wooden shampoo. But you can't
18:01
Speaker 2: do that stuff anymore. But they did show a lot
18:05
Speaker 2: of restraint considering what happened. Let's go to Tom and
18:08
Speaker 2: point pleasant Tom.
18:09
Speaker 8: How you doing, Yes, good morning Mark. One of the
18:12
Speaker 8: more noteworthy disappearance and kidnapping was Jimmy Hoffa.
18:16
Speaker 2: Oh there you go, of course, but that's different. Those
18:19
Speaker 2: were beyond professionals. That was the mob. They know how
18:21
Speaker 2: to really really make somebody disappear.
18:24
Speaker 8: But I ask you a question, Mark, how do you
18:26
Speaker 8: feel about the president selling risk watches on TV? Don't
18:29
Speaker 8: you think that degrades the president? I think that's a.
18:34
Speaker 2: Little bit not at all he's got And it's not
18:36
Speaker 2: just risk. It's okay if it's you've been doing it
18:38
Speaker 2: all your life and for years he's been selling the
18:41
Speaker 2: Trump hats, Trump ties, Trump stuff merchandise as the president. Yeah, no,
18:48
Speaker 2: I mean he's just continuing what he's always done. Yeah,
18:50
Speaker 2: you could have, you could make a case. I mean,
18:51
Speaker 2: you're not wrong, but I wouldn't worry about it's such
18:53
Speaker 2: a tiny, tiny point.
18:56
Speaker 8: I agree with that.
18:57
Speaker 2: Have you ever gone to Trump Tower. Go to Trump Tower,
19:00
Speaker 2: go downstairs. There's a Trumps store. They sell absolutely everything
19:04
Speaker 2: in the world with the Trump logo on it. You'll
19:06
Speaker 2: love it. Now. Some people will say it's an egomaniac
19:10
Speaker 2: Trump towels, Trump water, Trump. Well, no, actually, he's been
19:13
Speaker 2: in the hotel business for decades and it's what you
19:16
Speaker 2: do when you're in the hotel business. Every hotel chain
19:19
Speaker 2: you know, you forget, Trump owns dozens and dozens and
19:22
Speaker 2: dozens and dozens of hotels all over the world. Every
19:25
Speaker 2: hotel chain, Ritz Carlton Marriott four Seasons has a gift
19:29
Speaker 2: shop where they got Ritz Carlton towels, which Riz Carlton bathrobes,
19:34
Speaker 2: Riz Carlton shirts, Ritz Carlton water. It's a normal thing
19:37
Speaker 2: you do when you have a hotel chain. It's like
19:39
Speaker 2: when he opened his own steak company. They said, what
19:41
Speaker 2: kind of guy you opened? Well, most big chains do that.
19:45
Speaker 2: You open your own because it's too much to go into.
19:48
Speaker 2: It's a lot cheaper if you have your own steak
19:50
Speaker 2: company instead of buying it all the time. So when
19:52
Speaker 2: Trump probably owns, I don't know, two hundred restaurants, you
19:55
Speaker 2: form your own steak company. Let's go to Robert and Yonkers. Robert,
19:59
Speaker 2: how you doing, hey.
20:01
Speaker 5: Mark Man, Danny wants the cops to quick because he
20:03
Speaker 5: wants to put a communist patrol in there, and I
20:06
Speaker 5: just think it's crazy.
20:07
Speaker 6: And as usual Gold Buchan.
20:09
Speaker 2: And go, baby, there you go. You know you got
20:11
Speaker 2: to explain. Nobody remembers Pat Buchanan was a wonderful guy.
20:15
Speaker 2: A million years ago. He used to be a regular
20:16
Speaker 2: guest on this show. Uh In fact, he's long gone,
20:20
Speaker 2: long forgotten. Some people have actually talked about the President
20:23
Speaker 2: should award him one of those one of those medals,
20:26
Speaker 2: because he was pretty good. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
20:30
Speaker 2: how you doing, good morning?
20:31
Speaker 5: Mark?
20:31
Speaker 7: Markom Okay, a gentleman who called from Jersey. He lived
20:36
Speaker 7: in a town called. He was talking about possums and
20:41
Speaker 7: all the wildlife swamp.
20:44
Speaker 5: I have that.
20:45
Speaker 7: I have that kind of problem my yard at night,
20:49
Speaker 7: my yard and the possums. No like as the vacuum cum.
20:53
Speaker 2: Hey, Vincent, you're you're all. It's not you. The phone's
20:58
Speaker 2: all screwed up. It's cutting you off. But call us back.
21:01
Speaker 2: Let's go to Peter and Flushing Peter. How you doing, Mark?
21:05
Speaker 6: Good morning. He used to be a police officer, recently retired.
21:09
Speaker 6: My heart was breaking. Well, I saw the police, how
21:12
Speaker 6: they would being treatable. It's more heartbreaking is how this
21:15
Speaker 6: mayor responded to that de moralize in his police, and
21:18
Speaker 6: he's putting them in a position where if they instinctively
21:21
Speaker 6: want to do what they need to do and how
21:23
Speaker 6: they're trained, they won't. They have mace, they have body
21:26
Speaker 6: cameras on that. Nobody punishes the police harder than the
21:30
Speaker 6: New York City Police Department when they're wrong. If these
21:33
Speaker 6: guys would have defended themselves correctly and enforced laws and ordinances,
21:37
Speaker 6: they should have done everything possible to cop as many
21:39
Speaker 6: people as possible. That should have been a full blown thirteen.
21:43
Speaker 6: More cops should have been there supervised. I didn't notice.
21:45
Speaker 6: I didn't see any white shirts at all. It's just
21:48
Speaker 6: a very very weird dynamic we're living. And I'd love
21:50
Speaker 6: to hear your opinion.
21:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the only thing white shirts means captain's lieutenant's
21:56
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. Where to go? We lost him.
22:01
Speaker 2: I think he's listening to himself. Ten thirteen is I
22:04
Speaker 2: don't know, that's a little it's a ten eighty five
22:06
Speaker 2: to fourth with I don't think you can call it
22:08
Speaker 2: ten thirteen over snowballs. But no, you're absolutely right. It's
22:12
Speaker 2: just totally totally out of it, you know. And the
22:14
Speaker 2: other problem I'll get to listen to the next hour.
22:15
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of studies that have come out. When
22:18
Speaker 2: you get lax on these kind of things, it eventually
22:21
Speaker 2: gets people killed. I'll explain, Hi. I mean, there's like
22:25
Speaker 2: actual research on this on how this changes. Well, we'll
22:29
Speaker 2: get to that in the next hour because when we
22:30
Speaker 2: come back, we'll talk to the great economist Steve Moore.
22:34
Speaker 2: He'll be with us next on seven to ten WR.
22:38
Speaker 1: He's more Mark so marximone show on seven ten WR.
22:44
Speaker 2: Well, the brilliant economist Steve Moore also runs the Committee
22:48
Speaker 2: to Unleashed Prosperity. You should get there daily briefing. It's
22:52
Speaker 2: the best news and analysis. You'll sound really smart, you'll
22:55
Speaker 2: be really well informed. It's free, it'll come right to
22:58
Speaker 2: your email. Just go sign up. Go to Unleash Prosperity
23:01
Speaker 2: dot com and sign up for the hotline Unleash Prosperity
23:05
Speaker 2: dot com. Steve Moore, How you doing?
23:09
Speaker 5: Uh? Feeling good about things? Mark? After that great speech
23:12
Speaker 5: the President gave, really celebrating the victories that he's had
23:15
Speaker 5: in his first thirteen months in office, and economy's riding high.
23:19
Speaker 2: Now. Yeah, and those Democrats, boy, they fell into every
23:22
Speaker 2: trap he said for them. A lot of TV commercials
23:25
Speaker 2: come from that.
23:27
Speaker 5: Well, you know, now, we're not the party of the
23:30
Speaker 5: illegal immigrants. So I mean, listen, I'm very pro immigrant,
23:34
Speaker 5: as you know, and I think immigrants are so critical
23:36
Speaker 5: to our country. But what's so hard about saying, hey,
23:39
Speaker 5: you got to come in the right way. You got
23:40
Speaker 5: to wait your turn, your turn in line. That's the
23:43
Speaker 5: way immigrants have always come into this country. And so
23:47
Speaker 5: and I thought Trump really nailed them on that, you know,
23:50
Speaker 5: idea of the voter ID for voting. I mean, of course,
23:54
Speaker 5: you know you should be able to prove you're a citizen,
23:56
Speaker 5: proof that you're a legal resident of the country before
23:59
Speaker 5: you vote. I mean, come on, uh, And you know
24:02
Speaker 5: it's almost to me, it's almost racist for the oh well,
24:05
Speaker 5: you know these poor Hispanics and these poor minorities, you know,
24:10
Speaker 5: they don't have an ID. It's like, what, come on.
24:13
Speaker 5: I tried to check into a hotel last night. I
24:16
Speaker 5: didn't have an ID with me, and they wouldn't let
24:17
Speaker 5: me in the hotel. You need an ID for about everything,
24:20
Speaker 5: why not voting.
24:21
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, you didn't have an ID with you.
24:23
Speaker 5: I you know what I left my passport, which I
24:25
Speaker 5: leave is an idea at home accidentally, So I get
24:28
Speaker 5: to the hotel, they wouldn't let me in. So I
24:30
Speaker 5: almost called you up and said, America, I'm in New York.
24:32
Speaker 2: Can you put me up to a suspicious guy like you.
24:35
Speaker 2: I wouldn't let you either. I don't know it's right.
24:39
Speaker 2: So that's the point.
24:40
Speaker 5: It's like everything you need a ID. You want to
24:42
Speaker 5: get on the airplane, you do, want to use your
24:44
Speaker 5: credit card, you wanted, you know, check into hotel, Almost
24:48
Speaker 5: everything you need an ID for. So who are these
24:51
Speaker 5: people who are Kim who said forty percent of Americans
24:54
Speaker 5: don't have IDA? What is she talking?
24:59
Speaker 2: Is the right? You know, it's the most racist thing
25:01
Speaker 2: you could say that poor people, minorities, they don't know
25:04
Speaker 2: how to get an idea. That's absolutely insane.
25:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, so someone like us said that, they know you're racist,
25:10
Speaker 5: but when they say it, no, they're defending me the
25:12
Speaker 5: lonc of films. But anyway, I thought, I love what
25:16
Speaker 5: Trump is doing on the economy. We have a new study.
25:18
Speaker 5: Oh by the way, did you hear one of his
25:19
Speaker 5: first lines that Trump used in that speech? You may
25:22
Speaker 5: recall he said, I've proven twenty two Nobel economists wrong.
25:26
Speaker 5: I don't know if you remember when he said that,
25:27
Speaker 5: but guess who gave him that line?
25:30
Speaker 2: I guess I know you've been saying.
25:32
Speaker 5: That all on but hey, yes, yeah, that was good.
25:36
Speaker 5: That's a good line, and it happens to me. True
25:38
Speaker 5: all the Nobel You remember this Mark when he was
25:41
Speaker 5: elect Oh my god, we have a great depression. That's
25:43
Speaker 5: gonna be the biggest stock sellouf ever. The inflation is
25:45
Speaker 5: going to go through the roof. Wrong, wrong, long, long, long.
25:48
Speaker 5: And he showed the Nobel Prize winners.
25:50
Speaker 2: How did these guys get jobs? You know, like a
25:52
Speaker 2: Paul Krugman for years everything he said was wrong. You
25:55
Speaker 2: know what, doesn't the employer at some point say this
25:58
Speaker 2: guy's always wrong. Let's get somebody.
26:01
Speaker 5: Well, if you were in the private sector and let's
26:03
Speaker 5: say you were an economous for Goldman, sax or something,
26:06
Speaker 5: you would you would be fired. But if you're at
26:07
Speaker 5: a university, it doesn't matter how many times you're wrong.
26:10
Speaker 5: As long as you're you're attacking Donald Trump, you've got tenure.
26:15
Speaker 2: Hey, you know the state of the Union. You know
26:16
Speaker 2: who had a hard time with it. The fact checkers.
26:18
Speaker 2: They really couldn't get anything on them, could they.
26:22
Speaker 5: They really couldn't. And I mean the tax cut has
26:25
Speaker 5: been big and has been beautiful, and people you know,
26:27
Speaker 5: used to come up to me at the end of
26:28
Speaker 5: last year and they'd be young that Hey, Steve Moore
26:30
Speaker 5: where's that patch cut? You know, you said that Trump
26:33
Speaker 5: was going to get it, and then I said, just wait,
26:35
Speaker 5: it's coming. You know. So now people are really seeing
26:37
Speaker 5: it in their paychecks. The average family will see about
26:39
Speaker 5: two thousand dollars less money with drawn from their paycheck
26:43
Speaker 5: by the IRS than they did last year because they're
26:45
Speaker 5: the big beautiful bill. Plus, you've got a friend, Larry
26:48
Speaker 5: Tubler says, we've got an investment boom going on in
26:50
Speaker 5: this country by businesses. Why is that? Oh, because we
26:53
Speaker 5: cut the tax rate on investing. And you know, who
26:55
Speaker 5: would have thought that if you cut the tax on something,
26:57
Speaker 5: you get more of it.
26:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, Steve Moore, explain something about tariffs. If you've
27:02
Speaker 2: got enough tariff revenue, you could really bring down income
27:06
Speaker 2: tax or even eliminated. Is that possible?
27:09
Speaker 5: It is. In fact, I talk about that in our
27:12
Speaker 5: hotline that came out this this morning. So everybody should
27:14
Speaker 5: get that. Just go to on leash prosterity dot com
27:16
Speaker 5: and sign up for free. And that was one of
27:18
Speaker 5: our points is you know, the left lap Trump things
27:21
Speaker 5: we can get rid of the income tax. That could
27:22
Speaker 5: never work. It's inconceivable. I'm like, well wait a minute.
27:25
Speaker 5: You know are these people stupid? It was for the
27:27
Speaker 5: first one hundred and twenty five years of this country, Mark,
27:29
Speaker 5: we didn't have an income tax, and we did just fine,
27:32
Speaker 5: as I recall, you know. And so if we could
27:35
Speaker 5: we could do this with an eighteen percent national sales
27:37
Speaker 5: tax and an eighteen percent tariff we could replace. We
27:40
Speaker 5: could have zero in personal income text, zero capital game tax,
27:44
Speaker 5: zero tough tax, zero dividend tax, zero corporate tax. I mean,
27:47
Speaker 5: can you imagine what that would do for our economy?
27:50
Speaker 5: I mean, you want to talk about pumping rocket fuel
27:52
Speaker 5: and steroids into the butt of the economy. It would
27:54
Speaker 5: be the most amazing thing. You know. We'd have to
27:56
Speaker 5: probably build a wall six hundred feet tall to keep
27:59
Speaker 5: all the people out. We'd want to come here because
28:01
Speaker 5: we'd be you know, so many jobs and so much capital.
28:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, if people might not realize this, there was no
28:06
Speaker 2: income tax in America.
28:08
Speaker 5: Till like nineteen until nineteen fourteen.
28:10
Speaker 2: So in nineteen thirteen, how do we pay for the
28:12
Speaker 2: army and for everything?
28:15
Speaker 5: Well, we had that's a good question. We got our
28:18
Speaker 5: revenues from two major sources. One was terraces and you
28:21
Speaker 5: know what, the other one was no land sales.
28:25
Speaker 2: You mean like a TAXI sold.
28:29
Speaker 5: We sold federal lands and we now, by the way,
28:32
Speaker 5: the federal government still owns what about thirty five percent
28:35
Speaker 5: of the federal the land and about fifty percent of
28:37
Speaker 5: the land west of the Mississippi. So let's sell that.
28:40
Speaker 5: Use that money to get rid of the income tax.
28:42
Speaker 5: What do you think about that?
28:43
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, if you were one of these private
28:45
Speaker 2: sector takeover guys and you came in and you bought
28:49
Speaker 2: the United States of America, you'd see, well, I can
28:50
Speaker 2: cut the budget in half easily without any loss, and
28:53
Speaker 2: I could get rid of the tax and do TARFA.
28:56
Speaker 2: It'd be easy to do, wouldn't it if you were Yeah.
28:59
Speaker 5: Plus, if you had eighteen percent sales tax already paid
29:02
Speaker 5: every time the government would you know with the other
29:04
Speaker 5: politicians like Akamo Herrister, you know, your friend Bernie Sanders
29:09
Speaker 5: said oh, let's have this new government program. And they say, well,
29:12
Speaker 5: if we do that, we're gonna have to raise the
29:13
Speaker 5: sales tax nineteen percent. Pece said, hell, no, we don't
29:16
Speaker 5: want you to raise a sales tax. You'd have a
29:18
Speaker 5: natural opposition from everyone, all voters, because everybody would pay
29:22
Speaker 5: their fair share for the government, Steve Moore.
29:25
Speaker 2: If you were running a state like California, you're whatever
29:28
Speaker 2: state you're running, and you noticed a lot of my
29:30
Speaker 2: businesses are moving to Texas, wouldn't you say to yourself,
29:34
Speaker 2: what are they doing there? How come? Wouldn't you copy
29:37
Speaker 2: what they're doing?
29:39
Speaker 5: You would think? So, you know, this is the ingeniousness
29:43
Speaker 5: of our founding fathers was creating a system where the states.
29:47
Speaker 5: So many of the rights and privileges were delegated to
29:51
Speaker 5: the states, not the federal government. And the founding fathers
29:54
Speaker 5: wanted the states to compete against each other, because competition
29:57
Speaker 5: is a good thing. Well, that's what we've got now.
30:00
Speaker 5: And do you know what the five states are that
30:02
Speaker 5: have the highest cost of living the least affordable states?
30:06
Speaker 2: Uh, well, I guess New York and California.
30:09
Speaker 5: Yes, And New Jersey and Connecticut and Massachusetts Illinois, Massachusetts,
30:15
Speaker 5: Connecticut is a very expensive state, too high cost of living.
30:17
Speaker 5: In the states with the lowest cost of living, or
30:19
Speaker 5: states like Arkansas, states like Alabama, states like North Carolina,
30:24
Speaker 5: states like Utah, Gee, they have no low taxes, I mean,
30:28
Speaker 5: so they can. And by the way, in New York
30:30
Speaker 5: and California, even though they're getting crushed. I mean, New
30:33
Speaker 5: York is lost. There's a new study by a New
30:35
Speaker 5: York business group that's finding hundreds and hundreds and hundreds
30:37
Speaker 5: of businesses that have left just in the last year.
30:41
Speaker 5: And you think, maybe we should try a new game plan.
30:44
Speaker 5: And yet Mondomie wants what he wants a millionaire billionaire tax,
30:48
Speaker 5: and he can't have that. He's going to raise tax
30:50
Speaker 5: on everybody. And you know, oh, gee, we can't find
30:53
Speaker 5: any money to save from the budget. Really, really, out
30:55
Speaker 5: of one hundred and twelve billion dollar budget, you can't
30:57
Speaker 5: find any money to save.
30:59
Speaker 8: Yeah.
30:59
Speaker 2: No, I mean if you doge doge every city in
31:03
Speaker 2: New York, you'd save probably seventy five percent of the budget. Well,
31:07
Speaker 2: Steve Moore, great stuff. Hey, I forgot to mention your book,
31:10
Speaker 2: The Trump Economic Miracle. It's a miracle.
31:13

31:16
Speaker 2: get Steve Moore's book, The Trump Economic Miracle. Are you
31:18
Speaker 2: working on another book?

Speaker 5: Well, it's so funny. Trump asked me, you're gonna let
31:23
Speaker 5: a new book down, okay, present I will. You know,
31:27
Speaker 5: I don't know what to call this one, but you
