Speaker 1: So there are so many times that I say, and
0:04
Speaker 1: I will continue to say this on this show. When
0:07
Speaker 1: the radical left tells you who they are, believe them.
0:13
Speaker 1: When the radical left tells you what they believe in,
0:16
Speaker 1: believe them. When the radical left shows up and does
0:19
Speaker 1: something that seems absolutely psychotic and crazy, Understand that that
0:25
Speaker 1: is actually what they believe.
0:28
Speaker 2: For far too long, what.
0:30
Speaker 1: We have been seeing is that we try to apologize
0:34
Speaker 1: on behalf of the crazies on the left. We try
0:38
Speaker 1: to apologize, We try to say, no, they didn't really
0:41
Speaker 1: mean that, We let them get away with it. We're
0:43
Speaker 1: constantly trying to say that what we're witnessing, what we're saying,
0:47
Speaker 1: is somehow not real, because we say, there's no way
0:49
Speaker 1: that could actually be real, Like there's no way that
0:52
Speaker 1: someone could actually believe that. Which brings me to my
0:56
Speaker 1: bigger point, and I've been saying this for quite some time.
1:00
Speaker 2: The Democratic Party is dead. The Democratic Party is.
1:05
Speaker 1: Actually filled with a bunch of socialists, a bunch of communists,
1:10
Speaker 1: and a bunch of Marxists. That is exactly who the
1:15
Speaker 1: Democratic Party is. Finally, some of them are actually telling
1:22
Speaker 1: the truth about who they are. And I'm glad because
1:27
Speaker 1: I have said that the Democratic Party is it is dead.
1:32
Speaker 2: But they've had to lie and.
1:34
Speaker 1: To see voters for several years now because they knew
1:37
Speaker 1: that America really wasn't ready for the Democratic Party to
1:42
Speaker 1: die and for them to just go to the next phase,
1:45
Speaker 1: which was to decide that you're a socialist and Marxists
1:48
Speaker 1: are a communists. And so the Democratic Party is actually
1:52
Speaker 1: filled with candidates that are those things. Now, let me
1:55
Speaker 1: be clear, some of them believe in multiple different areas
1:59
Speaker 1: of socialists and Marxism communism. Some are just straight up
2:02
Speaker 1: declared socialists, others are just declared communists, others are just
2:05
Speaker 1: declared Marxists. But the majority of the candidates right now
2:09
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party.
2:13
Speaker 2: Fall into those categories.
2:15
Speaker 1: You look at the joint address to Congress the other
2:18
Speaker 1: night by Donald Trump, and you look at the left
2:20
Speaker 1: and whether it's those that were disrupting early on, whether
2:24
Speaker 1: it's those that had their signs and their boards up,
2:27
Speaker 1: those aren't Democrats. The Democratic Party has died. Those are
2:32
Speaker 1: socialists and Marxists running as Democrats who got elected as
2:35
Speaker 1: Democrats because it's palatable. Well, fast forward to twenty twenty five,
2:42
Speaker 1: and now we're getting closer I think to reality. There's
2:46
Speaker 1: two things that I've learned from this last election with
2:50
Speaker 1: Donald Trump that I think really.
2:52
Speaker 2: Explain a lot.
2:54
Speaker 1: One of them is it is very clear now that
2:57
Speaker 1: Democrats have not learned a damn thing from their.
3:00
Speaker 2: Lost They just haven't.
3:03
Speaker 1: Okay, they they've learned nothing, absolutely nothing from the brutal
3:09
Speaker 1: beat down and the loss that they took in this
3:12
Speaker 1: last election.
3:15
Speaker 2: That's point number one.
3:16
Speaker 1: Because if they did, they wouldn't be acting this way,
3:18
Speaker 1: and if they did, they'd actually be going backwards and going, Okay,
3:22
Speaker 1: we need to reassess. We've gotten way too crazy, we
3:27
Speaker 1: are way too extreme, and it's time for us to
3:29
Speaker 1: bring it back to being Democrats, not being socialist, Marxist
3:33
Speaker 1: and communists.
3:34
Speaker 2: Now, that's that has not happened. They have learned nothing.
3:40
Speaker 1: Okay, like I'm gonna say that again, they have learned
3:44
Speaker 1: nothing from this last election. So let's let's be very
3:50
Speaker 1: very very very clear about that second point.
3:55
Speaker 2: There are some that.
3:56
Speaker 1: Are now just saying I'm gonna admit who I am.
3:58
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be good with it. The example I'm
4:01
Speaker 1: going to give you right now comes on New York
4:02
Speaker 1: City Socialist New York City mayoral candidate once to hike
4:08
Speaker 1: corporate taxes to pay for loads of freebies. Now I'm
4:13
Speaker 1: glad he's admitting, like I'm not really a democrat, I'm
4:16
Speaker 1: a straight up socialist.
4:17
Speaker 2: Like that's who I am.
4:19
Speaker 1: And this socialist mayoral canate. His name is Zoran Mandandi
4:26
Speaker 1: Mondani excuse me, wants to raise corporate taxes to pay
4:30
Speaker 1: for billions of dollars of freebies for New York, he
4:33
Speaker 1: told The New York Post and exclusive sit down interview.
4:37
Speaker 1: The Queen's state assemblyman is a thirty three year old set.
4:40
Speaker 1: His plans for his socialist utopia involves subsidizing free transit
4:45
Speaker 1: and free childcare. How's he going to pay for it
4:47
Speaker 1: with higher tax on corporations in New York City and
4:51
Speaker 1: establishing city run food stores as well, so the government
4:56
Speaker 1: will be in charge of your food supply chain in
4:59
Speaker 1: New York City. That's not all he wants to do.
5:04
Speaker 1: He also wants to hurt people that own property. How
5:07
Speaker 1: we do that very simply by freezing rent. He wants
5:11
Speaker 1: to freeze that rent for millions of New Yorkers and
5:15
Speaker 1: create a new safety plan, as he describes it, for
5:17
Speaker 1: the city. The out of Nowhere, candidate, who has been
5:22
Speaker 1: surging so pay attention in recent polls, said his campaign
5:27
Speaker 1: has a quote relentless focus on making New York City
5:30
Speaker 1: more affordable through a sizeable expansion of government. So big
5:34
Speaker 1: government is back, which he says lies in direct contrast
5:40
Speaker 1: to the competitor, a guy who you'll remember is the
5:44
Speaker 1: former governor of New York who resigned in disgrace, Andrew Cuomo.
5:50
Speaker 1: We have a north Star, referring to his campaign's economic
5:54
Speaker 1: agenda that is all driven by the belief that working
5:57
Speaker 1: class New Yorkers cannot afford to worry of anything beyond costs,
6:01
Speaker 1: because it's cost that is pushing them out of the
6:04
Speaker 1: city that they love, stating that one in four New
6:08
Speaker 1: Yorkers lives now in poverty.
6:10
Speaker 2: Now, what is this actually about.
6:12
Speaker 1: He's doing the math, and he's understanding that there's a
6:15
Speaker 1: chance that he could win an election solely based on
6:18
Speaker 1: the issue of class warfare. So you get the people
6:22
Speaker 1: that are struggling in New York, and you get them angry,
6:25
Speaker 1: and you tell them that it's the rich people that
6:27
Speaker 1: are their problem and it's all their fault. You get
6:30
Speaker 1: people that can't afford to live in the city, and
6:32
Speaker 1: you tell them that it's it's the fault of the
6:35
Speaker 1: rich landlords, that they can't live there anymore, and there
6:38
Speaker 1: and their rent should be frozen indefinitely forever, and that
6:43
Speaker 1: the rent is You may remember the candidate who ran
6:46
Speaker 1: one time in this country.
6:48
Speaker 2: I think it was the one that the rent is
6:50
Speaker 2: too damn high guy.
6:51
Speaker 1: And people loved it because he was telling you, like,
6:54
Speaker 1: I'm going to help you stop having to pay high prices.
6:57
Speaker 2: So there.
6:58
Speaker 1: It is a straight up move, for lack of a
7:02
Speaker 1: better way of putting it, it is a move to say,
7:06
Speaker 1: if you are poor, vote for me, and I will
7:09
Speaker 1: take from the rich. This is a robin hood campaign.
7:13
Speaker 1: It's one of the oldest campaign strategies in history. You
7:17
Speaker 1: find enough poor people and you play off of them,
7:22
Speaker 1: and you tell them that their life would be better
7:25
Speaker 1: if you just voted for me, because I'm going to
7:26
Speaker 1: go to all those evil rich people and I'm going
7:28
Speaker 1: to take what they have, and I'm going to make
7:31
Speaker 1: your life better.
7:32
Speaker 2: By going after them. Quote.
7:34
Speaker 1: That is all driven by the belief that working class
7:37
Speaker 1: New Yorkers cannot afford to worry about anything beyond cost
7:39
Speaker 1: because itst it's costs it's pushing them out of the city.
7:42
Speaker 2: That they love. So there it is. If you are.
7:45
Speaker 1: Being left behind, it's not your fault, it's someone else's fault.
7:50
Speaker 1: And if you vote for me, I'm going to steal
7:51
Speaker 1: from the rich. This is robinhood campaign, and give to
7:54
Speaker 1: the poor. He's done the math. Folks, There's a hell
7:57
Speaker 1: of a lot of people in New York that are
7:59
Speaker 1: in fact paycheck to paycheck.
8:00
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that quote.
8:02
Speaker 1: Whether it's the cost of rent, childcare, or metro card groceries,
8:06
Speaker 1: New Yorkers.
8:07
Speaker 2: Are on the brink. He says.
8:10
Speaker 1: I'm on a bashful that I lean to the left,
8:13
Speaker 1: and I plan to advocate and raise corporate tax rates
8:17
Speaker 1: as much as those surrounding states, and I'm going to
8:19
Speaker 1: go after them because they deserve to pay more.
8:22
Speaker 2: Not even fair We're not even We're past fair share.
8:25
Speaker 1: Okay, we're now saying everyone else's it's everyone else's fault
8:31
Speaker 1: that you're not living the life that you want to live.
8:34
Speaker 1: So vote for me. I'll steal from the rich and
8:37
Speaker 1: I'll give it back to you. I go back to
8:41
Speaker 1: the basic theme for a second. Buying votes is pretty simple.
8:45
Speaker 1: If you're a liberal, you tell people that their misery
8:49
Speaker 1: is not their fault, it's someone else. And then you
8:53
Speaker 1: tell them that if you will just vote for me,
8:56
Speaker 1: I will give you free stuff. What does free stuff
8:59
Speaker 1: look like on the local leub It's a little differentright,
9:01
Speaker 1: because food stamps come from the federal government. You know,
9:03
Speaker 1: it's it's federal programs. So what do you tell them?
9:06
Speaker 1: You say, hey, I'm going to force someone to rent
9:09
Speaker 1: you a home at below market value.
9:12
Speaker 2: That's insane, Okay.
9:14
Speaker 1: Like, that's insane, And I'm going to freeze your rent
9:18
Speaker 1: so that once you move in you never have to
9:21
Speaker 1: worry about the price of rent going up, which is
9:23
Speaker 1: again insane, Like it's going to make people not want
9:26
Speaker 1: to buy real estate.
9:28
Speaker 2: You look at my house.
9:31
Speaker 1: If I rented my house ten years ago, it'd be
9:33
Speaker 1: real cheap. Compared to today, the price of housing where
9:37
Speaker 1: I live has gone up significantly. And what he wants
9:42
Speaker 1: to do is say, well, Ben, sorry, tough luck. You
9:44
Speaker 1: cannot rent that house for more than X, Y or Z.
9:48
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you what you can and cannot
9:50
Speaker 1: rent it for, regardless of if I have to do
9:53
Speaker 1: like major improvements to the home.
9:56
Speaker 2: Right.
9:56
Speaker 1: This is what socialism is saying you're going to have
9:59
Speaker 1: government own food stores like grocery stores, and then you're
10:03
Speaker 1: going to price limit what people have to pay for
10:06
Speaker 1: things like sounds great, but it's gonna have to be
10:09
Speaker 1: subsidized by someone. And he knows that, so he's like, yeah, yeah,
10:12
Speaker 1: I got that part figured out.
10:13
Speaker 2: Don't worry. Well, who's going to subsidize it?
10:15
Speaker 3: Oh?
10:15
Speaker 1: The rich people. So I'm going to steal from the
10:18
Speaker 1: rich and give it the port You got it? Because
10:20
Speaker 1: all I need is fifty plus one percent to become
10:22
Speaker 1: the governor or, I should say, the mayor in this
10:24
Speaker 1: in this circumstance.
10:25
Speaker 2: So that's all I care about.
10:28
Speaker 1: He's on a bashful right about his being a communist
10:33
Speaker 1: socialist and is you know hey? He says New Jersey
10:37
Speaker 1: for example, and this is where he rationalizes this radical moment.
10:41
Speaker 1: He says, New Jersey, for example, levied eleven and a
10:44
Speaker 1: half percent tax rate from twenty one to twenty three
10:46
Speaker 1: before dropping it back down to nine percent, while New
10:49
Speaker 1: York has maintained seven point twenty five percent rate. Okay,
10:52
Speaker 1: that's on top of all the other taxes. Why did
10:55
Speaker 1: New Jersey drop it back down after eleven and a
10:58
Speaker 1: half Because it was destroyed their economy. Actually wasn't helping
11:02
Speaker 1: their economy, it was destroying it. Because people were saying,
11:04
Speaker 1: I'm not doing business here anymore, I'm out, I'm done.
11:07
Speaker 1: They realized they had to lower it back down because
11:08
Speaker 1: it was dest destroying their tax base.
11:11
Speaker 2: It's a problem.
11:12
Speaker 1: You can only rob from the rich for so long
11:14
Speaker 1: before the rich gets smart they say, we're out of here.
11:17
Speaker 1: Some of the biggest hedge funds after when COVID hit
11:20
Speaker 1: in New York, some of the biggest financial groups moved
11:24
Speaker 1: to Florida and Texas.
11:26
Speaker 2: Why.
11:27
Speaker 1: They were sick and tired of dealing with New York City.
11:33
Speaker 1: They were sick and tired of the cost. They were
11:37
Speaker 1: sick and tired of just how expensive it is. And
11:42
Speaker 1: once you weren't going to the office, and forget weren't
11:46
Speaker 1: they wouldn't let you. That's a better way of putting
11:48
Speaker 1: it right. They just wouldn't let you. They wouldn't let
11:53
Speaker 1: you go to the office. They said, all right, this
11:56
Speaker 1: is their time to get out. Let's get the hell
11:58
Speaker 1: out of here. And that is exactly what they did.
12:02
Speaker 1: They said, seeya, we're gone, We're out, We're leaving, goodbye,
12:08
Speaker 1: We're gone, we're out, we're leaving audios and they were
12:11
Speaker 1: never coming back. And once they left, they realized this
12:14
Speaker 1: was a great idea. It was a great transition.
12:16
Speaker 2: It saved them money, and it made them more money.
12:21
Speaker 1: That's part of it. It made them more money. So
12:25
Speaker 1: when you can make more money, why would you not
12:28
Speaker 1: do it? When it's easier and your cost of living
12:33
Speaker 1: goes down, and your cost of rent go down, and
12:35
Speaker 1: everything goes down. When you move from New York City
12:38
Speaker 1: to somewhere else in your corporation and your employees are happier,
12:41
Speaker 1: then what people start realizing is like, oh wait, we
12:43
Speaker 1: should have done this a lot sooner.
12:46
Speaker 2: That's exactly what's going to happen here.
12:47
Speaker 1: But you have to understand, this guy doesn't mind if
12:50
Speaker 1: he loses a bunch of businesses. If it means he
12:53
Speaker 1: gets elected, he doesn't mind. You know, a lot of
12:57
Speaker 1: the liberals I go back to this, it's like, why
13:00
Speaker 1: how do these liberals in these high crime cities, whether
13:02
Speaker 1: it's New York or Detroit, or New Orleans or Memphis
13:05
Speaker 1: or Baltimore. The list goes on on. How do they
13:08
Speaker 1: keep getting elected? I get asked this question all the time.
13:11
Speaker 1: It's actually a really simple issue. Slowly, the smart people
13:16
Speaker 1: that have means right start leaving because they don't like
13:19
Speaker 1: living in high crime areas. They don't like living in
13:22
Speaker 1: high taxation areas where they're having to look over their
13:25
Speaker 1: shoulder all the time because crime gets out of control,
13:27
Speaker 1: and so they leave. And at some point then you
13:29
Speaker 1: start just having your living in hell. But Hell keeps
13:32
Speaker 1: electing you because no one there that is sane enough
13:35
Speaker 1: to vote you out is still left to vote against you.
13:38
Speaker 1: People in failing school districts, for example, if they a
13:42
Speaker 1: lot of parents would do whatever it takes get their
13:44
Speaker 1: kids out of those failing schools, And they say, why
13:46
Speaker 1: are these schools so bad? Because all the parents that
13:48
Speaker 1: were involved in actually cared left because they weren't going
13:52
Speaker 1: to have their kids being a failing school. So then
13:54
Speaker 1: the uninvolved parents are the ones that are there that
13:58
Speaker 1: are uninvolved. So that the socialism, as I describe it,
14:02
Speaker 1: the communism, the Marxism can just set in and your
14:05
Speaker 1: kid will go and not get an education. It's basically daycare,
14:09
Speaker 1: is the best way that I can describe it.
14:11
Speaker 2: They're not giving them an education.
14:13
Speaker 1: Look at all of the liberal cities where the schools
14:15
Speaker 1: are overwhelmingly failing. They are run by Democrats at every level.
14:21
Speaker 1: On the local state level, they are run by the liberals,
14:25
Speaker 1: hardcore lefties. That's who they're run by. So let's go
14:29
Speaker 1: back to New York for a second, and I go
14:31
Speaker 1: back to this guy. He doesn't care. He doesn't care
14:35
Speaker 1: that businesses are going to leave. He doesn't care that
14:38
Speaker 1: businesses are going to never come back. He doesn't care
14:40
Speaker 1: that a lot of people that are wealthy are going
14:42
Speaker 1: to move, because as long as he grabs his power,
14:44
Speaker 1: he actually needs them to leave so they can't oppose
14:46
Speaker 1: him in the future. And the mayoral candiate said he
14:50
Speaker 1: was confident that the dramatic jump and tax costs wouldn't
14:53
Speaker 1: drive companies out of the city.
14:54
Speaker 2: He's not stupid. He knows it will.
14:56
Speaker 1: Quite Even if businesses move their headquarters out of state,
14:58
Speaker 1: they'll still be subject to tw as long as they
15:00
Speaker 1: continue to do business in the Empire state where the
15:03
Speaker 1: demand is too high to decline. He went on to say,
15:06
Speaker 1: for further funding of his programs, the mayoral candat has
15:09
Speaker 1: floated legislation to end or significantly reduce tax exemptions for
15:13
Speaker 1: towering big apple institutions such as Columbia New York University.
15:16
Speaker 2: So now we're going to tack the universities.
15:19
Speaker 1: Last month, this guy introduced a bill that would force
15:22
Speaker 1: the private schools to call up more money, which would
15:25
Speaker 1: then be funneled towards funding the sprawling public city University
15:30
Speaker 1: of New York network quote, there is an immense amount
15:34
Speaker 1: of money.
15:34
Speaker 2: It's just who is actually serving.
15:36
Speaker 1: And we are telling the story of our campaign as
15:39
Speaker 1: one that will fight for working class people and is
15:41
Speaker 1: willing to tax the wealthiest in order to make that possible.
15:45
Speaker 1: And the con and kind of get into a little
15:47
Speaker 1: bit more there the excerpt. Money freed up through tax
15:52
Speaker 1: hikes and diminished exemptions would help offset the six billion
15:56
Speaker 1: a year it costs to run universal childcare, which average
16:00
Speaker 1: is now twenty five thousand of family. Says the extreme
16:05
Speaker 1: costs for the number one reason for the recent excess
16:07
Speaker 1: of families from the Big Apple, followed by skyrocketing housing costs.
16:10
Speaker 1: He says, So we're gonna fix it all by taking
16:11
Speaker 1: for the rich and giving to the poor. By the way,
16:15
Speaker 1: this is the first time this has actually happened. Just
16:17
Speaker 1: so you know, Former Mayor Bill Deblasio made his appeal
16:21
Speaker 1: to voters with similar progressive policies, promising free universal pre
16:25
Speaker 1: K for big Apple families. He was only able to
16:29
Speaker 1: finally fulfill the campaign vow in the final years of
16:31
Speaker 1: his administration when the federal government searched millions of dollars
16:35
Speaker 1: into the city during COVID so they used the COVID fund,
16:37
Speaker 1: so it wasn't real. Another freebe This new guy hopes
16:41
Speaker 1: to subsize his bus travel. He says, it's time for
16:44
Speaker 1: us to get rid of the city's fair program all together.
16:48
Speaker 1: Just jump on for free. It's not free, by the way,
16:50
Speaker 1: someone's gotta pay for it. He's gonna steal from the
16:52
Speaker 1: rich give to the poor. Quote the cost of free
16:55
Speaker 1: buss is about let's say, seven hundred million or something
16:58
Speaker 1: a year. He didn't even know what the cost is,
17:00
Speaker 1: doesn't care. He's going to steal it. And I believe
17:02
Speaker 1: we can pay that for that, as well as universal
17:05
Speaker 1: childcare through what I'm talking about about the raising of
17:08
Speaker 1: corporate tax rates, as well as through more effective use
17:12
Speaker 1: of city revenue.
17:12
Speaker 2: Which is a crap line.
17:15
Speaker 1: This is a guy that's saying, if you are poor,
17:17
Speaker 1: vote for me, and I'm going to go out there
17:19
Speaker 1: legally and steal from the rich, and you guys are
17:22
Speaker 1: gonna love it. That's what he's saying, full stop. That's
17:26
Speaker 1: the policy. And I'm telling you this for two reasons. One,
17:31
Speaker 1: I'm warning you it's going to come to a city
17:33
Speaker 1: near you, so you better get ready to know how
17:35
Speaker 1: to fight against it. Number one. And number two, and
17:38
Speaker 1: this is even more important. Many of these candidates I
17:41
Speaker 1: do believe are going to get elected. Let's look at
17:47
Speaker 1: doge in comparison to what this mayor in New York
17:51
Speaker 1: City has been doing, or I should say, this guy
17:56
Speaker 1: that wants to be the mayor of New York City
17:57
Speaker 1: is proposing to do. There is a very divided country
18:03
Speaker 1: right now on the issue of what is the place
18:07
Speaker 1: of government. And liberals, socialist, Marxist and Commists they believe
18:12
Speaker 1: that government is the solution to everything. Conservatives like myself
18:17
Speaker 1: believe that the government is the problem with almost everything,
18:21
Speaker 1: and that big government is worse than anything else because
18:24
Speaker 1: it steals from the hard working and gives to the poor,
18:28
Speaker 1: and many of them are lazy. You look at just
18:31
Speaker 1: this last week, Elon Musk said he's actually afraid someone's
18:34
Speaker 1: going to kill him because of what he's uncovering about
18:38
Speaker 1: how much the government takes and then gives to all
18:42
Speaker 1: these corrupt individuals who claim they're helping the poor, like
18:45
Speaker 1: these these non governmental.
18:46
Speaker 2: Agencies and goos.
18:47
Speaker 1: Okay, so look at them for an example, or I
18:51
Speaker 1: should say non governmental organizations.
18:54
Speaker 2: You look at these mngos.
18:56
Speaker 1: And they claim they're helping the poor, but really they're
18:58
Speaker 1: just helping certain people get pas like massive pace.
19:01
Speaker 2: The corruption is unbelievable in these NGOs.
19:05
Speaker 1: And then you look at like Zelensky for example, and
19:09
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said under Biden, Zelensky took money out of
19:12
Speaker 1: us like candy from a baby. I believe by the
19:15
Speaker 1: way that the President is absolutely right in the way
19:18
Speaker 1: that he said that.
19:19
Speaker 2: He also went on to say, I don't believe that
19:21
Speaker 2: they are thankful for anything, like nothing.
19:28
Speaker 1: He was on Maria Bartromo's show, and I want you
19:31
Speaker 1: to hear what Donald Trump said when he was talking
19:34
Speaker 1: to Maria about Zelensky about the money, because this goes
19:39
Speaker 1: back to thinking, which is everybody like all these liberals like, oh,
19:42
Speaker 1: we just you know, we've got enough money. Send one
19:44
Speaker 1: hundred fifty billion, two hundred billion, three hundred billion here,
19:46
Speaker 1: five hundred million here, two hundred million there, one hundred
19:48
Speaker 1: fifty billion there, four hundred billion here. It adds up right,
19:51
Speaker 1: like two massive amounts of debt, trillions of dollars, which
19:54
Speaker 1: what we have right now. And what Maria Bartuomo asked
19:57
Speaker 1: the President was about Zelensky, like, how the hell did.
19:59
Speaker 2: This guy get so much money from us? Take a listen, go.
20:05
Speaker 4: Back, go back to what happened in the Oval office
20:07
Speaker 4: the other day. I call it a SmackDown of Zelenski.
20:12
Speaker 4: It looked really rough, but then again, at the end
20:15
Speaker 4: of the day, you may have your deal back. So
20:17
Speaker 4: was that all the art of the deal? What specifically
20:19
Speaker 4: tick you off?
20:20
Speaker 3: Well, you know, he was able to It was like
20:27
Speaker 3: taking candy from a baby.
20:28
Speaker 5: What he did. He's a smart guy, and he's.
20:31
Speaker 3: A tough guy, and he took money out of this
20:36
Speaker 3: country under Biden like candy from a baby. It was
20:41
Speaker 3: so easy with that same attitude. And I just don't
20:47
Speaker 3: think he's grateful we gave him, in my opinion, three
20:50
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty billion dollars. Europe is in for a
20:53
Speaker 3: hundred billion dollars. We gave him three hundred and fifty
20:56
Speaker 3: billion dollars, and he's talking about the fact that.
20:58
Speaker 5: They have fought, and they have.
21:00
Speaker 3: There's a bravery because somebody has to use the weapons.
21:02
Speaker 3: But without those weapons, so forget. I was the one
21:05
Speaker 3: that gave them the javelins, that was able to knock
21:07
Speaker 3: down all the ties. Obama gave nothing. Look, if I
21:11
Speaker 3: were president, that would have never happened. You wouldn't have
21:13
Speaker 3: had Russia going into Ukraine. You wouldn't have had the
21:17
Speaker 3: whole situation with Hamas and October seventh would have never
21:21
Speaker 3: happened because Iran was broke.
21:23
Speaker 5: They had no money.
21:24
Speaker 3: They weren't giving it to Amas or Hezbel anybody else.
21:27
Speaker 3: You would have never had the worst evacuation anyone's ever seen,
21:31
Speaker 3: which is Afghanistan, which was the most embarrassing day in
21:34
Speaker 3: the history of our country. And you know what else
21:37
Speaker 3: you wouldn't have had. You wouldn't have had inflation. We
21:39
Speaker 3: had record setting inflation under Biden. It was a killer.
21:43
Speaker 5: You may get one of the reasons I won the election, but.
21:45
Speaker 4: You may get it again with these tariffs, right, I mean,
21:47
Speaker 4: once CEO said to me, my input costs have already
21:50
Speaker 4: started to go up. I'm going to have to raise prices.
21:53
Speaker 5: In the meantime.
21:53
Speaker 3: Guess what interest rates are down for the last three
21:56
Speaker 3: or four days at good levels. I mean, you know
21:59
Speaker 3: when you add its rates you're talking about it's gone down.
22:03
Speaker 3: We've been I've been saying, let's get interest rates down.
22:07
Speaker 3: You know, nobody ever gets rich when the interest rates
22:11
Speaker 3: are high because people can't borrow money. Interest rates are
22:14
Speaker 3: going down. You know what else is going down? What
22:16
Speaker 3: have I been trying to get down?
22:18
Speaker 5: Energy?
22:19
Speaker 3: Energy's going down. I'd love to see energy go down.
22:23
Speaker 3: You know, energy is really what caused it. They screwed
22:26
Speaker 3: up my energy. I had the most energy and they
22:29
Speaker 3: screwed it up. Then they went back to it through
22:31
Speaker 3: it was going through the roof. They went back to
22:33
Speaker 3: some drilling. But it was gone. It was it was helpless,
22:37
Speaker 3: it was lost. But energy's gone down and interest rates
22:40
Speaker 3: have gone.
22:41
Speaker 5: Out over the last week. That's a big thing. I
22:43
Speaker 5: love that.
22:43
Speaker 4: Do you expect Zelenski to come back? Do you expect
22:46
Speaker 4: to do that rare earth minerals deal?
22:48
Speaker 5: Yeah?
22:48
Speaker 2: I think so.
22:49
Speaker 5: I think it'll.
22:50
Speaker 4: Are you sure there's the content that you think there
22:52
Speaker 4: is there? Because some people were questioning if in fact
22:55
Speaker 4: there is the you know, the titanium and the lithium
22:58
Speaker 4: when all those battery the rare earth minerals.
23:00
Speaker 5: Do you think it is rich with the well I do,
23:03
Speaker 5: I do. I mean, I've had a checked. I've had
23:05
Speaker 5: a check. But it's very valuable. But with all that being.
23:09
Speaker 3: Said, Biden should have never put up three hundred and
23:12
Speaker 3: fifty billion dollars. He should have equalized with Europe. Well
23:15
Speaker 3: he had to do is say, you got to stay
23:16
Speaker 3: even with us. They're in for one hundred weren't for
23:19
Speaker 3: three point fifty. How does that and we have an
23:22
Speaker 3: ocean in between us, right, We're not in the danger
23:25
Speaker 3: that they are. They are much greater danger, if you
23:27
Speaker 3: call it danger. He should have never done that.
23:31
Speaker 5: You know. The other thing with the Europe that bothers me.
23:34
Speaker 3: They've given Russia more money by far for buying their oil.
23:40
Speaker 3: Then they put into Ukraine. So they're paying all this
23:43
Speaker 3: money to Russia and we're in there for three hundred
23:46
Speaker 3: and fifty billion dollars.
23:48
Speaker 5: Biden should have never done that.
23:49
Speaker 4: I spoke with the president of Poland the other day.
23:52
Speaker 4: President Dudah has great respect for you, and I said
23:56
Speaker 4: to him, you know what if the US walks away
23:59
Speaker 4: in stead away, here's what he said. Without the United States,
24:03
Speaker 4: do you believe that Europe is capable of offering meaningful
24:08
Speaker 4: security to Ukraine.
24:10
Speaker 6: I would like to believe it, but experience to date
24:14
Speaker 6: shows that this has not been the case. The entire
24:18
Speaker 6: history so far of the last three years of the
24:21
Speaker 6: war shows that without American support, Ukraine will not survive.
24:26
Speaker 4: Are you comfortable with that, the fact that you walked
24:29
Speaker 4: away and Ukraine may not survive?
24:32
Speaker 3: Well, it may not survive anyway, but you know, we
24:35
Speaker 3: have some weaknesses with Russia. You know it takes two Look,
24:42
Speaker 3: it was not going to happen that war, and it happened.
24:44
Speaker 5: So now we're stuck with this mess.
24:46
Speaker 3: Think of what he stuck me with open borders, where
24:49
Speaker 3: we have twenty one million people came into our country,
24:52
Speaker 3: many of whom should not be here. Many are criminals,
24:54
Speaker 3: many many are criminals, many murderers, murderers, drug dealers, drug.
25:01
Speaker 5: We got that.
25:02
Speaker 3: We have the whole mess with Israel and October seventh,
25:06
Speaker 3: we have all of the ramifications from the worst and
25:11
Speaker 3: dumbest withdrawal in history.
25:12
Speaker 4: Both Ukraine and Israel were both attacked by aggressors. Is
25:17
Speaker 4: America treating both countries similarly? Are they treating the aggressors similarly.
25:24
Speaker 2: I think.
25:24
Speaker 4: So, look, you're favoring one over the other.
25:26
Speaker 5: They're very different places, Okay, very very different.
25:29
Speaker 3: You're talking about different levels of power, you're talking about
25:32
Speaker 3: different parts of the world. The Middle East has been
25:36
Speaker 3: under attack forever it's been you look, when wasn't it
25:40
Speaker 3: under attack? And then we came along and did the
25:43
Speaker 3: Abraham Accords, which was unheard of.
25:46
Speaker 4: Have you been as tough on Russia as you've been
25:48
Speaker 4: on Hamas?
25:49
Speaker 5: I mean, what do you want to say to God?
25:51
Speaker 3: Much tougher because I haven't done to Amas. That's been Israel.
25:55
Speaker 3: That has to do to Amas. But Israel does tell
25:57
Speaker 3: me what's going on. I think I've been very tough
26:01
Speaker 3: to Russia, tougher than anybody's ever been to Russia if
26:05
Speaker 3: you think about it. First of all, we had the
26:07
Speaker 3: Russia Russia Russia hooks, which was a very bad thing.
26:11
Speaker 3: Could have led to a war that was started by
26:14
Speaker 3: Shiff and all these low lives, the total low lives,
26:18
Speaker 3: And it was a fake deal. The fifty one intelligence agencies,
26:22
Speaker 3: it was. I took all their passes away. They can't
26:25
Speaker 3: participate anymore. These guys know it came from hell Hunter.
26:29
Speaker 3: Biden's laptop from Hell which came from his bathroom and
26:34
Speaker 3: or his bedroom. Okay, not a pretty sight, but this
26:38
Speaker 3: was a hunter Biden thing. They said it was from Russia. No,
26:42
Speaker 3: I've been very tough.
26:43
Speaker 5: Remember this.
26:45
Speaker 3: I'm the one that stopped the Russian pipeline Nordstream too.
26:49
Speaker 5: I stopped it.
26:50
Speaker 3: Biden came in and he approved it. I'm the one
26:53
Speaker 3: that put sanctions on Russia. I'm the one that gave
26:56
Speaker 3: the javelins against Russia. Now, I've been very tough, but
26:59
Speaker 3: I got a lot well with Putin. And because I
27:02
Speaker 3: got a lot of weld. Oh they say, oh, he's
27:04
Speaker 3: so nobody's ever been Putin. Would be the first to
27:07
Speaker 3: say it, nobody's been tougher than job.
27:10
Speaker 1: You listen to this foreign policy, and the reason why
27:14
Speaker 1: I played that for in the long version is because
27:17
Speaker 1: I think it's really important that people think about what
27:22
Speaker 1: the president's saying there. What he keeps going back to
27:26
Speaker 1: at a core point is that it's not our job
27:30
Speaker 1: to pay for everything else of everybody else that does things,
27:36
Speaker 1: It is not our job for us to send money
27:41
Speaker 1: all over the world. Look at this last week, job
27:43
Speaker 1: reports showed two hundred and eighty four thousand more Americans
27:45
Speaker 1: working in seventy and excuse me, eighty seven thousand fewer
27:48
Speaker 1: foreign born workers. Why is that significant? Because the President's saying,
27:54
Speaker 1: I'm putting Americans first. I'm not in favor of giving
27:58
Speaker 1: charity out to the rest of the world that we're
28:00
Speaker 1: having to pay for money, by the way, that we
28:02
Speaker 1: don't have. That's the difference here. Please share this podcast
