  Speaker 1: Here's more Mark. Okay, so marximone show on seven tenor
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: hey it's Friday, it's the first day of May. We
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: got a lot to get to this hour. Well, really,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: i'll tell you some stories about James Comey coming up
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a little later this hour. Now, you know, the Supreme
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Court ruled against some redistricting in certain states. They'd draw
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the lines, the congressional district lines to make sure a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Democrat will win the seat. One of the ways they
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: did that in some districts was to draw the line
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: so there were no white people in the district. Now
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: that's discrimination, racial discrimination. Supreme Court ruled on this, and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: they ruled that you can't do that. You can never.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: First of all, a congressional district should look like a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: square or maybe a circle, but should just be a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: geographical area. It shouldn't look like a snake winding around
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: twenty seven different ways. Obviously, just scheming to get no
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Republicans in the district make sure a Democrat wins. So
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court ruled you cannot do it based on race.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Of course, the first guy to go nuts because it
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: screws up this partisan jerrymandering. The Democrats think that's the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: only way they can win in November. But Jeffries, Kim
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Jeffreys going nuts.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: In the new Congress, We're going to have to do
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: something about this Supreme Court. And let me be very clear,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: everything is on the table, everything to deal with this
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: corrupt Maga majority that is issuing political opinions that are
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: designed to bolster.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: The prospects of the Republican Party, and we will not
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: allow them to succeed. Yeah, corrupt, the corrupt Supreme Court,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the Maga Supreme Court. They sure disagree with President Trump
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: on a lot of things, but what he's talking about,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and this is the problem. If Democrats were to win,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: they're going to do all kinds of stuff. They're going
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to expand the court. It's the expanded to twelve justices,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: maybe twenty five. They'll make it twenty five justices. That way,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they next democratic president can put a lot of Democrats
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: on the court, a lot of real left wing kook judges.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And you know what happens when you get that they're
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: planning that they're planning. They got all kinds of plots.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: They want to make Washington, d c. A state because
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it's all democratic. That way, you get two more Democrats elected.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: They want to make Puerto Rico estate. They get more
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Democrats that way, so all the more reason you got
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to make sure they do not win in November in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the midterms. Now, other states can do the same thing,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: but sometimes it's more legitimate. In Florida, legislature just approved
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a new congressional map which could add four Republican seats.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: This vote came right after the Supreme Court decision, so
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: four extra Republican seats could change the whole midterms. Now,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: if you look at the way they did it, the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: justification is it's pretty legitimately drawn. It's not like democratic
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: redistricting where they draw this weird snake line all around.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: This is looks pretty straightforward this district. So you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: New York City is a sanctuary city, but crazy Kathy
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Hochel wants the whole state to be a sanctuary state.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: She's proposing and trying to pass with Albany, all kinds
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of sanctuary policies to ban ICE from everything, sweeping bans
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: on any cooperation between law enforcement and ICE. That crazy
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Assembly Speaker Carl Hasty is on board with most of this,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: so she could very likely get this done. She has
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a plan to ramp up all the anti ICE stuff
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: like crazy. Now, you know Bruce Blakeman, who's the greatest
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: county executive, which is like being a governor, greatest governor
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: in America. In Nassau County, they've solved their illegal problem
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: because they cooperate with ICE. The local police help ICE.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: In fact, they let ICE use officers, use jail cells,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: whatever they need. So in this crazy new local legislation,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: she would ban any local government from cooperating in any way.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: They can't deputize ICE officers, they can't keep detainees in
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: local jails, they can't in any way have anything to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: do with ICE. Now, of course this is absolutely insane.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: In fact, she's working on part of this legislation will
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: be a new legal tool that will give New Yorkers
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the ability to soothe these ICE agents in state court
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for a violation of their constitutional rights. Now, the problem
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: with all this, when you have all these illegals, it
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: costs us billions, hundreds of billions that we spend on illegals. Now,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: at the same time, Hoko will tell you where we're broke.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: We're out of money, we got a deficit, we need
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to we don't have enough revenue. We're short of money.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: If that's the case, why you're spending two hundred billion
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: on illegal It's absolutely ridiculous even that. Remember the Hotel
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Roosevelt where they stuck everybody. They put a lot of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: illegals in the Hotel Roosevelt for a year. You know
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: what the bill was for that, one hundred and forty
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: six million. One hundred and forty six million. They're just
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: wasting this money like crazy everywhere. If there's a budget deficit,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: it's caused by illegals. I mean, he's also caused by
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: overspending and bloat and fraud and waste, but it's also
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: caused by these illegals. You could save yourself billions and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: bill tens of billions of dollars just let Ice do
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: their job. Problem solved. So the other thing that with
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Hochel is she's getting pushed now like crazy to pardon
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the cop Eric Duran. This was the cooler cop that
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the guy was fleeing on a motorcycle about to run
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: down some other cops on his motorcycle. How do you
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: stop the guy with a cop just thinking quick picked
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: up a cooler threw it at him, which normally would
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: just knock him off his bike. But it was just
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a fluke. Crazy uh. He fell off and it went
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: into a tree and somehow he died in this accident.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's the last thing. The officer intendant but his name
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: is Eric Durand gets in the bronx in front of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a crazy left wing judge. You got a left wing
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: district attorney. They convict the guy. They sentenced him to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: nine years. Now the appeal is underway. The great criminal
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: attorney Arthur Idalla handling the appeal. But you never know
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: how that's going to go. So a lot of people
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: are pushing for a pardon. The governor can do it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It's a local charge, so the president can't do it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But Holkle could pardon this guy. And about thirty five
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: state lawmakers just signed a petition for this pardon. They
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: want it done. There's gonna be a lot of pressure
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: on her now. The Hokal's officers said he actually needs
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to apply for a pardon if he wants his case considered.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He hasn't done that yet. Now what it'll probably come
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: down to Bruce Blakeman, who would be the best governor,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: is rising in the polls. He started at twenty points behind,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and then it was fifteen points behind, eight points behind.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: As he gets close, Hokel will try to remove some
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of his campaign issues. One of his issues is he
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: has promised to pardon this cop on day one, minute one,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: He's promised to pardon this cop. So if Blakeman keeps
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: rising like he is in the polls, Hokel will probably
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: pardon the guy just to take that issue away from
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: from Bruce Blakeman. But who knows, who knows what the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: crazy Kathy Hokele, So keep the pressure up though on
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: her pardoning this guy. You know, on the Upper West Side,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: there's a Trader Joe's. There's two floors. It is the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: busiest Trader Joe's in the world. And you know, a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: lot of people love Whole Foods, Wegmans and all the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: great supermarkets, but a lot of people are Traders Joe's fanatics.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: It's like a cult. They just love Trader Joe's. Got
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: their Trader Joe's bag. Now, the stuff is very cheap
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in Trader Joe's. The prices are great. Nobody has better
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: prices than Trader Joe's. Now, how do you think they
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: achieve those low prices? Well, you've got to use cheaper
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: ingredients to do that. And many of their suppliers have
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: told me. Every year they come around and tell you
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: got to cut your cost in half, and they argue,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I can't. I've already cut the quality of my ingredients.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I can't do it again. And they tell them you're
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: either going to cut the cost in half or you're out.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So all they can do is cut down on the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: quality the ingredients. So the stuff might look good, taste good,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and be cheap, but you're talking about not the highest
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: quality ingredients in there, but it's very cheap. And people
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: go crazy over Trader Joe's. The busiest one in the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: world is the Upper West Side. It's at seventy second
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and yeah, seventy second in Broadway's two floors. Well, they
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: announced they have to close it down for a few months.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: They need to rebuild the whole store. They need to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: close and repair the whole place. And these people are
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: going insane. They don't the notice went up on the door.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Major renovations will take place. It will close on May seventeenth,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and they hope to get it reopened in a couple
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of months. But they're going nuts. These people on the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Upper West Side without their Trader Joe's for a couple
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: of months. Now there's another Trader Joe's at ninety third
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Street that's twenty blocks away. I mean, it's a lot
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of groceries to carry, but it's still you could just
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: go twenty blocks up. It's not that far. There's another
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Trader Joe's twenty blocks away. You know. For people live
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: in the suburbs, many of them are saying right now,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I'd love to have a supermarket only twenty blocks from
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: my house. But on the Upper West Side they're going nuts. Now.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: People have been in there said it really does need
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to be redone. The escalators are always broken, they're not working.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: There's structural problems. They got to be fixed. So that's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: why you got to close the whole thing and start over. Hey,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: President Trump, what's happening with Iran, Well, he's sending him
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a signal. They're stalling. They're just stalling and stalling. You
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: want to continue the negotiations or get to some resolution,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and Ran just figures they'll stall forever. They see all
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the Democrats, all the weasel Chuck Schumer, Blumenthal, all these
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Democrats against the war. They're like Hanoid Jane. They're like
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Tokyo Rose. It's leading the effort to attack the war.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: So they're hoping that those guys prevail and the sentiment
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: forces Trump to stop. I wouldn't count on that at all.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: That's not going to happen, but that's their strategy. Trump says,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: if they don't start making a deal, it'll resume the combat,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and to send a signal. Yesterday he had the Centcom commander,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: that's Admiral Cooper who's running this, come to the White House.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: He was summoned to the White House for a meeting.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And now that of course gets in the news. Iran
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: is watching that. That's supposed to be a signal to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: let him know, you're about to go through an incredible,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: overwhelming round of bombing if you don't come to the table. Now.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: In the last bombing a couple of weeks, leaders were killed,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Everything military was destroyed, power plants, everything on one bridge
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: was taken. So there could be more of that. So
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the commander coming there is and they kind of leaked out,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and you know, he was there to go over targets.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: He was briefing the President on what to hit next.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: So now the other things we have the straight of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: horn moose closed. As long as that's closed, Iran's economy
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: is shut down. They have no economy, zero income. Could
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you imagine if somebody did that the United States. Imagine
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: if somebody attacked the United States on the first day
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: they killed the forty one top leaders in Washington, took
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: out basically the whole leadership in Washington, then completely destroyed
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: all of our military, and then totally frozen shut down
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: our economy. Would you say, well, that's okay, we're winning,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: we're winning. But that's what Democrats are arguing that Iran
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: is somehow winning this. So they with the straight of
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Horme moose clothes. They can't move any oil out, which
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: means they got no place to put the oil they're pumping.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: They've been getting lots of these old tankers and try
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to store it on there, but they're running out of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the tankers. If this continues another couple of weeks, they
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: will have no place to put any oil. It means
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: they will have to shut down the oil fields, shut
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: down the drilling. Now. The problem is if you do that,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: it takes a long time to reopen. The wells dry up,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: everything goes crazy. So it would cost them. It would
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: devastate them for the next two years, and it takes
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: a long time to get those oil wells pumping again.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: So we have all the cards, they have none at
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the moment. So now do you like when you go
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: into the supermarkets, being the supermarkets, the self checkout, or
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: when you going to home depot or any place Walmart
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Costco that's self checkout. If you got like toothed cans,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: it's pretty easy, scan it throat in the bag, But
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: if you've got things that need to be weighed and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you got to enter in what it is, it's a
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: pain in the neck. Well, the stores don't like it either.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: One by one they're trying to eliminate self checkout. And
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the other problem with the self checkout, that way you
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: don't have to have cashiers. But with the self checkout,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: half the time there's three people that can't do it,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and then they have to have a cashier are basically
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: standing there to do it for you. So it doesn't
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: really solve the problem. But now Walmart, Target, Costco, they're
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: all looking at getting rid of these self checkouts. The
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: problem is the theft rate on them is unbelievable. Self
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: checkout lines extremely vulnerable to threat. In fact, sixty nine
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: percent of people it's two thirds, say they believe it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: easier to steal with the self checkout. They've admitted to theft,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: whether intentionally. Some people say it's unintentional, and they say
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: almost twenty seven percent. And this is like normal customers
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: have taken something and not scanned it. So the threat
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: is the theft is unbelievable. Thirty six percent say they
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: accidentally stole something. Sixty one percent of those who accidentally
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: took something said they kept it. So it is costing
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: a fortune in stolen items, So expect those things to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: disappear within the next year or two. Hey, we'll take
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: some calls next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
• 14:25
