00:00:00.000
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great America Podcast with Lou Dobbs,
00:00:04.200
always in the fight for truth, justice, and yes, our American way of life.
00:00:09.220
And now, here he is, the Peabody award-winning voice of truth, the great Lou Dobbs.
00:00:14.660
Hello, everybody. Great to have you with us. Another great day in America. I hope it's a
00:00:19.560
great day for you wherever you are. I'm grateful you've chosen to spend some of your time today
00:00:24.640
with us here on the Great America Show. Let me be among the first to say it out loud. We're now
00:00:31.060
officially in the political season, the silly season, some used to call it, but no more. There
00:00:37.500
is still a lot of silliness, mind you, that goes on in most of the campaigns, whether local, county,
00:00:42.220
state, or federal. But there's simply too much at stake now. The issues are just too important to
00:00:47.920
the nation's future to think of the political season as anything other than critically serious.
00:00:53.300
That doesn't mean we have to be somber about it all, though that too can be tempting. It does mean,
00:00:58.880
however, we have to take note of the serious ramifications of whatever political and election
00:01:04.360
choices we make this year. Our guest today is a remarkable person who I've been eager to meet.
00:01:11.040
Our guest today is truly a charismatic political figure and obviously a winner, also a veteran,
00:01:17.580
also a Marine. With us today, the Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
00:01:24.060
Winsome Sears. Welcome to the Great America Show, Governor. We appreciate you being with us.
00:01:31.360
Thank you very much. It's good to be here. My voice is a little hoarse. I just came down from the
00:01:37.200
Senate and almost lost my voice up there because, you know, I preside every day. So we're out now.
00:01:43.380
We're home for the weekend. Well, good for you. And we appreciate you taking the time and we won't
00:01:48.500
impose on you too long. I want to start with first the Virginia Attorney General making news
00:01:56.600
and joining the parents suit against the Loudoun school mask mandate, filing a motion to join the
00:02:03.800
lawsuit for defying Governor Glenn Youngkin's executive order, allowing parents to opt out of school
00:02:13.020
mask mandates. Again, the governor, the Attorney General and you doing exactly what you told the
00:02:20.680
voters to expect. Your thoughts. Yeah, you see, this is it. When we were campaigning, all three of us,
00:02:27.820
Glenn Youngkin, myself and our new Attorney General, Jason Miaris, we told the people, this is what we
00:02:34.800
believe. And most of it was, of course, it's what the parents wanted. God forbid that government
00:02:41.300
should give the parents the opportunity to make choices for their own children. You know, what a
00:02:47.040
concept. So here it is, we've won and we're trying to fulfill those promises. And it seems that we get
00:02:54.120
turned away at every, you know, point. So, you know, we're just moving forward. It's going through the
00:03:00.760
court system where the governor made an executive order that parents will determine whether or not they
00:03:07.100
want their children to wear a mask. You know, we've found that for most of the children, they're
00:03:12.680
suffering. You know, they can't breathe half of the time. They're touching the masks all the time. So
00:03:17.940
it's just getting filled with germs. And for the younger kids, that you can't really see the formation
00:03:24.520
of the letters, you know, the vowels. And speech pathologists have told us that there are some issues
00:03:30.280
with that. So let the parents decide. And some of the school boards have said, you know, no, they're
00:03:37.260
not going to do that. And had certain parents, you know, make, go to court about it. So we're going to
00:03:45.060
wait and see what the court decision is. In the meantime, the governor has advised those, you know,
00:03:50.000
parents to wait. Let the court case go through and wait for the court's decision. And in the meantime,
00:03:57.080
just follow, you know, your local school board decision until, you know, something happens,
00:04:02.320
until we hear what the courts want. You know, if I may say this, I've covered a lot of politics in
00:04:10.880
my career, beginning at the city council level on through. I have to tell you, not in any presidential
00:04:18.000
and vice presidential ticket, no ticket that I can think of at any level, have I seen what appears
00:04:26.940
to be, at least to me, great harmony amongst you, the governor, the attorney general. You all look
00:04:36.000
like right now, from the day that you took office, you're together. And, and that there is no daylight
00:04:43.920
between you. Well, we campaigned together, you see. And, you know, we know each other and
00:04:50.740
we all wanted the same thing. You know, you just want to be left alone. Can you just live your life
00:04:58.220
and let me live my life? And, you know, it's that live and let live type of a thing, you know,
00:05:05.520
it's all about liberty. And we just, you know, the Democrats just went a bridge too far.
00:05:11.980
But we, they just threw so much at us. And the people said, wait a minute, we had Democrats who
00:05:18.520
voted for us. We had independent leaning Democrats who voted for us because they were sick and tired
00:05:24.660
of it too. It just felt so constricted in, in, in Virginia. And you saw it in the rest of the
00:05:31.540
country. So we ran as a ticket. Um, even though, you know, anything could have happened to either one
00:05:39.040
of us, you know, we all could have lost, or one of us could have wanted the other. So, but we had a
00:05:45.020
unified message. We want the schools open, no more shutdowns. We wanted to, to be left alone. We're
00:05:52.460
going to run on lower taxes. We wanted, uh, Virginia to be open for business. We wanted less regulation.
00:06:00.340
The children aren't learning. We want options for our children to go to school. Uh, you know, we,
00:06:06.000
we ran on freedom. So there you have it. And that's why we won. We believe.
00:06:12.540
Well, I have to, I have to believe that you're exactly right. Uh, because normally, uh, there
00:06:18.880
would be some appearance, uh, from people taking up office. And I'm not talking about necessarily
00:06:24.340
governor and Lieutenant governor, but, uh, where people within the party, uh, who prevail,
00:06:30.240
they seem to think of themselves as the winner and you all clearly, and I include the governor
00:06:36.640
in this, uh, also remarkably, uh, he doesn't, uh, is the old expression. He doesn't come across
00:06:44.620
as thinking he's all that. He may be some of that, but he knows very well. He's not all
00:06:50.180
of that. And that's, uh, a very great attitude to see on the part of each one of you.
00:06:55.480
I think it's because we started with prayer, uh, the very first time, uh, that all three
00:07:01.560
of us got together, it was the governor Glenn Youngkin who called us through on a zoom.
00:07:06.420
Cause you know, that's kind of how we meet more often than not nowadays. And back in
00:07:12.040
May at the convention. And he just, you know, he said, let's pray. And he would normally
00:07:17.040
start with prayer and we would meet, uh, once a week. And one of us would finish in prayer.
00:07:23.600
Either myself would finish in prayer or Jason would finish in prayer. And you saw what this
00:07:28.840
governor did when we were inaugurated. The day we were inaugurated, he had the three of
00:07:36.080
us, all three of us come down and pray. He prayed, the governor prayed for wisdom and
00:07:43.220
prayed for the people of Virginia. I have always wondered what would it look like if the leader
00:07:49.000
of a country prayed publicly, I don't have to wonder anymore. I saw Glenn Youngkin pray.
00:07:55.240
Well, God bless all three of you. Uh, that's a wonderful, wonderful, uh, revelation to all
00:08:03.360
of us. I was unaware of that, uh, and makes me like each of you all the more. Uh, I'm,
00:08:09.980
I'm a big fan right now, the Commonwealth of Virginia for putting it all in office and for,
00:08:14.820
uh, protecting parents. And as you say, putting freedom first, uh, and your, your comment about,
00:08:21.800
you know, let's just let each other live our lives, uh, instead of being, having us nonsense,
00:08:27.780
uh, that, uh, primarily the radical Dems are trying to shove down the throats of everyone in this
00:08:34.060
country. I've never seen the like of it. I have never. Uh, and I think that we also are seeing,
00:08:40.040
and I'd like to get your opinion on this. I think we're also seeing a major, major pushback
00:08:45.800
that could well have begun, uh, with your elections in Virginia. Well, you remember one of the
00:08:53.140
additional things that the Democrats were pushing, or, you know, enough of them anyway,
00:08:57.840
was to defund the police. That was another thing that didn't make sense to most of the voters.
00:09:03.400
If we get rid of the police, who pray tell is going to protect us? Who are you going to call?
00:09:09.080
You know, and so not, it was just common sense, common sense things. And, and, and, you know,
00:09:16.140
getting rid of qualified immunity that the police need in order to be effective in their jobs. We just
00:09:22.780
had two policemen shot dead. Right. And, and all they did was show up for work. My God, you go to work
00:09:31.860
and you can die. So that was another thing, as I said, that people were just sick and tired of.
00:09:38.180
And they elected common sense, common sense, liberty loving, uh, candidates. And we're trying
00:09:45.860
to fulfill those campaign promises to loosen the grip that some of these Democrats have put on us.
00:09:51.100
And then the other thing is we know what we're seeing. We were watching places being looted,
00:09:59.540
place at buildings being burnt and folks, you know, on other, all the other stations were saying,
00:10:05.360
oh, it's just a little protest. What? The place is on fire, you know? So yeah, enough people just said,
00:10:12.780
that's it. We're out. Got to vote for the Republicans this time.
00:10:17.040
I think you're exactly right. Uh, what, what do you, uh, think of, uh, your platform now as you're
00:10:25.620
governing, you've moved from campaigning to governing, uh, how confident are you, uh, as to how much you all
00:10:32.480
can get, get done for the commonwealth? Well, you know, it's going to be a little bit difficult as,
00:10:38.400
you know, change is, is difficult for some people. The Democrats in Virginia have had eight years
00:10:45.540
where, you know, four years of one governor, another four years of another governor. So the boards are
00:10:51.560
full of Democrats and, you know, we're not throwing people off just because they're Democrats, but,
00:10:56.160
you know, we have the helm now. And unfortunately it's, it's taking some time to move through, but
00:11:04.040
we've only been in office, what, 15 days. So we've got what, uh, three years and, uh, 10,
00:11:12.240
11 months to go. So we've got time to make changes and, you know, it's not going to take
00:11:17.920
all that time. It will happen. As you know, the Republicans also won the house back, but we did
00:11:26.080
not win the Senate because the Senate was not up yet. It'll be up in two years. Um, so the state
00:11:31.940
Senate, so we hope to win some seats back there and then we'll fully have the helm. Now the previous
00:11:38.940
Lieutenant governor did, uh, break tie votes. I think there were two 52 ties that he broke and he
00:11:46.040
broke it. Of course, Democrats way. I'm hoping to get the same amount so that I can break it for us
00:11:52.100
for common sense, for reasonableness, you know, for just Liberty, just Liberty.
00:12:00.880
Well, I got the feeling that, uh, you're not only ready, but you are, you are eager to break some
00:12:07.740
ties and to bring, uh, Virginia back into the 21st century. Uh, it's, it's, it's stunning to look back
00:12:14.820
over the previous, uh, administration, uh, the previous officials that held your jobs and think
00:12:21.000
what Virginia had to go through. I want to ask you very quickly here, and I know you're, uh, close,
00:12:26.940
close on time, uh, but I'd like to get your sense of how you think the country is going to move in this
00:12:33.240
midterm election. Uh, you are as well as, uh, an office holder, a very good politician. So we'd like
00:12:39.780
your insight on what the rest of us around the country, what you, what you see happening and what
00:12:45.000
you expect. Well, I'm noticing that, um, Madam vice president had another person leave her staff.
00:12:56.120
So there's something happening. And I think the Democrats are sensing that all is not well on their
00:13:02.860
side and that the people are fed up. You know, the, you tell us to get the vaccines, you know,
00:13:08.340
we get the vaccine and, and, and then we get boosted and folks are still getting COVID.
00:13:14.280
They have had information. They tell us, follow the signs. They've known all this time that these
00:13:19.280
masks aren't, don't work in the way that they've told us, you know, uh, cloth masks, certainly it's
00:13:25.720
really the N95 masks that do work. And, you know, none of it just doesn't make sense. And then if
00:13:33.160
you've had COVID, um, why do I need to get the vaccine if I'm supposed to be protected from COVID?
00:13:40.260
Well, I've already had it, you know, that sort of a thing that people are saying. So I think they're
00:13:46.480
going to get, you know, I don't know if they're going to get a walloping, but I believe that Nancy
00:13:51.360
Pelosi will not be the speaker of the house. And that'll be just quite all right with us.
00:13:57.040
Hey governor, you are, uh, uh, you lived up to your name. Uh, you are delightful to talk with
00:14:04.860
and I appreciate the, the opportunity. I hope you'll come back soon and we can take up further
00:14:11.980
developments as the year progresses. Uh, and I know that, uh, Virginia is in for much better times
00:14:17.880
because of you. Uh, we appreciate it governor on this broadcast. We always give our guests the last
00:14:23.500
word. So please, if you will. Yes. I've always said, you know, you can disagree, but you don't
00:14:29.380
have to be disagreeable. We can pass laws and be civil about it and move on. We don't, you know,
00:14:35.680
have to be at each other's throats and we don't have to encourage racial wars and religious wars.
00:14:41.600
And it just, it doesn't make any sense. And the people are tired of it. You know, when did it ever
00:14:46.940
get this bad? So let's let each other be, you live your life, leave the other guy alone.
00:14:53.500
How about that? I think that, uh, this is a good place for me to say, amen. And I appreciate
00:15:00.160
it. Governor, thanks so much. Uh, I really, uh, I wish all the very best of luck. Uh, I know you're
00:15:06.740
going to be immensely successful and I know that the Commonwealth of Virginia will be well served,
00:15:12.560
uh, with you in office. Thanks so much for being with us. God bless you. Uh, and thanks again.
00:15:19.000
Thank you, sir. Take care and goodbye to your, your, your listeners.
00:15:23.500
Thank you very much. And listeners, we will continue in just a moment on the great America
00:15:29.280
show. Stay with us. And now as advertised, as promised, here is Mr. New York, the man himself,
00:15:36.980
the legend, Mark Simone, Mark to have you with us. Great to be back. I listen every, every time to
00:15:43.080
every podcast. I love it. Well, terrific. We appreciate that Mark. And, uh, and vice versa,
00:15:49.520
Mark is not only an, an inimitable, uh, radio, uh, personality and celebrity and, uh, across the
00:15:58.460
country, but also a podcast, uh, guru and, uh, one of the early adopters, as they say,
00:16:06.080
uh, or is that adapter? I can never quite get that right. Adapter or adopter, Mark.
00:16:11.260
I'm still working on inimitable. You were nice to add a syllable as I did, but I,
00:16:19.040
when I use the word that'll teach me, uh, market is great to have you here. Let's start with
00:16:25.400
probably the biggest controversy raging right now in the country. Uh, and that of course is Joe Rogan
00:16:33.840
and Spotify, uh, and all that is ensuing, uh, over, uh, the withdrawal of, uh, uh, just a number of,
00:16:45.680
uh, as artists from Spotify, because Joe Rogan had the temerity to exist. Uh, what do you,
00:16:52.880
what do you make of it all? Well, first of all, the whole thing is just a big misunderstanding.
00:16:57.840
Joe Rogan is not a real conservative. In fact, he supported Bernie Sanders. Yeah. Joe Rogan is
00:17:04.820
quite liberal. So it's not a, you know, they've, they've created this illusion of this crazy
00:17:08.600
conservative anti-vaxxer. He's not even anti-vaccine. He's recommended a million times on
00:17:13.920
the show for people to get the vaccine. But if you listen to Rogan, he's all over the map. One day
00:17:19.880
he's talking to Jerry Seinfeld. The next episode, it's some wrestler. The next episode, it's a politician.
00:17:24.960
He does anything and everything for guests. And one day he had two doctors on who are anti-vaccine
00:17:31.500
and that's not unusual long before this pandemic, you know, these mothers had a kids had to get a
00:17:37.520
vaccine to go to school. A lot of them were against it. It's it's it. If you're a talk show host,
00:17:42.240
I could see that being a good segment. Let's have some anti-vaccine people in this case, doctors
00:17:46.940
with credentials, let them explain their point of view. Uh, but, uh, you know, these people now,
00:17:52.900
the woke left, they're like North Korea, any disagreement, they're going to lock you up and
00:17:57.540
that's it. You're, you go to jail. You're, you're done. And the next thing is a firing squad with,
00:18:02.800
uh, anti-aircraft. Uh, it's, it's, it's, it's really extraordinary to watch this. And the two
00:18:11.540
doctors that Mark is talking about are Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone, both of them,
00:18:17.500
uh, Malone, one of the inventors of MRNA, that is the basis for the primary vaccines,
00:18:25.480
uh, whether it's, uh, Pfizer or whether it's Moderna, uh, MRNA is the, the basic underlying
00:18:34.260
architecture for the vaccine. And they are, and Dr. McCullough is one of the most published,
00:18:42.260
uh, physicians in the entire country. He's a cardiologist by the way. And when he speaks to
00:18:48.020
the issue of myocarditis, uh, in involving the vaccine as, and the side effects that primarily,
00:18:55.200
uh, for young males, uh, he knows where he speaks without question. Uh, don't you think Mark?
00:19:01.940
Yeah, absolutely. Even if it's just a friend of mine who doesn't have a many expertise that's
00:19:07.100
anti-vax. Sometimes I'll say, well, what is it about you that you're against the back? I'm just curious
00:19:11.180
to hear him on this subject for a few minutes. So this would, I would love to hear this segment
00:19:14.760
with these doctors and just hear the other side, but, uh, we've had both of those doctors on,
00:19:20.740
on the podcast. They're terrific. I mean, they're bright as they can be knowledgeable as they could
00:19:25.960
possibly be. And they do have, uh, some views that are counter medical establishment. And by the way,
00:19:34.540
that's not all bad either because the medical establishment, I mean, if we're going to have Spotify,
00:19:39.220
uh, put up, uh, disclaimers as, uh, Joe Rogan has agreed to do, by the way, he apologized to the
00:19:45.780
company, which I thought was exactly the right thing for him to do. And I know some of the audience
00:19:52.240
will disagree and that's fine, but I think he did the right thing, uh, to just sort of deescalate
00:19:58.100
the thing. And at the same time pursue, just as he has always done on his, on his podcast, uh, a, a
00:20:07.160
variety and eclectic, uh, as you pointed out a number of issues and personalities and topics and
00:20:14.500
subjects that are interesting and important, uh, including whether or not young people five to 11
00:20:21.800
should be vaccinated. It is an open question today, irrespective of the fact that, uh, the FDA
00:20:29.200
is giving permission for their vaccination. It's, it's not a simple choice. It is a difficult
00:20:36.220
assessment for parents, uh, with all of the information left and right coming, uh, that is
00:20:42.560
the political left and the political right, the medical establishment versus those who have a
00:20:47.920
different view. I mean, if we put up disclaimers, Mark, uh, for every piece of information, the CDC
00:20:53.900
would have disclaimers a mile long on some of the nonsense that they have spewed. Absolutely
00:21:00.900
irresponsible in its own right. You have to blame mainstream media from the New York times,
00:21:05.680
the Washington post, the Lester Holt, to all of these types. They've created this illusion that,
00:21:10.080
uh, the, the Rogan is some anti-vaccine nut and that, uh, uh, on principle, we all must oppose him,
00:21:16.440
you know, uh, and to point to Neil Young, I've had to interview Neil Young a couple of times in my
00:21:21.040
life, filling five minutes with him. It's a real struggle. I mean, I wouldn't trust him to tell me
00:21:26.420
what time it is. Who the hell would listen to Neil Young about anything? Uh, and if you're Spotify,
00:21:31.500
they pay Rogan a hundred million, which means they're making 400 million on his podcast. They
00:21:36.700
make a dollar 50 every year on Neil Young. Who is he to start this fight? Well, and Joni Mitchell,
00:21:42.560
you know, I mean, I can't, I, you know, they, they know their business proposition far better than I
00:21:49.080
ever will, but I don't quite get it. And, and the fact that two people would want to, and I'm sure
00:21:55.880
that by means that there are other artists who are also threatening to withdraw. So it will affect
00:22:00.780
their, their business proposition, but in point of fact, Spotify's market cap, the value of its stock
00:22:07.660
has dropped by about a half over the course of the past year, a half, uh, it's about a $38 billion
00:22:14.680
company. Now, uh, it's, it's, uh, it's had some other problems besides this. And one of the things
00:22:23.100
that is not a problem is the Joe Rogan experience. Let me tell you, uh, he brings in a fortune for
00:22:29.420
Spotify, uh, and no one should be under any other illusion. And if by the way, Spotify wants to get rid of,
00:22:36.140
uh, this, uh, this onerous burden called Joe Rogan, I'm sure that there are plenty of platforms out
00:22:44.080
there rigging their hands in anticipation of his pleasant company. Yeah. If you've ever read Neil
00:22:50.940
Young's autobiography, he talks about his tremendous drug use, his drug. I mean, this is not a guy who's
00:22:56.800
shown good judgment about anything in the past. And, uh, uh, I mean, you get Megan and Harry jumping in,
00:23:03.000
uh, you talk about misinformation, uh, ask the queen about these two.
00:23:08.140
Well, I, I love the fact that they're a big deal in this country, at least the popular media,
00:23:14.000
uh, people magazine and whatever other, you know, shows like that or magazines like that. Uh,
00:23:21.480
Megan Markle for crying out loud and Harry, the sad prince are suddenly a big deal in this country.
00:23:29.420
Does anybody remember? We won the war of 1812. We won the revolutionary war.
00:23:35.640
We detest monarchies and we detest those who aspire to go from prince to king or queen or whatever the
00:23:44.300
heck that succession is over there. You know, they're going to have a bunch of people about
00:23:48.560
a hundred years old vying for king of the, uh, uh, of great Britain. It's, it's just madness that
00:23:54.640
we're putting up with this nonsense and nothing really moved until Megan, the magnificent and
00:24:00.500
Harry, the sad showed up. Yeah. The problem is Neil young. The most irrelevant guy in the world
00:24:05.660
is suddenly headline news everywhere because of this. And this Megan Markle all day is trying to
00:24:10.080
figure out how to get publicity. So she sees this, she jumps in on this. I'm surprised Fauci hasn't
00:24:14.800
jumped in on this yet. Every publicity stand by Mark, stand by Fauci never misses an opportunity.
00:24:21.540
And this is big as you say. Yeah. And Pete Buttigieg is looking at this thing. How can I get
00:24:26.140
some press on this? How can I get on some shows here? Oh my gosh. That is what a combination that
00:24:33.100
would be. That should be a panel show. Megan and the sad prince, uh, Buttigieg, Fauci, who else could
00:24:42.220
we put in there? Uh, well, Neil young, that'd be fun. Uh, it's, Oh my goodness. And to see this,
00:24:50.020
this unwind this way is just amazing. Uh, because the fact is the vaccine isn't the solution. I mean,
00:25:00.540
how many disclaimers will Pfizer and, uh, the FDA and Moderna have to put out because we were told,
00:25:08.240
remember famously 90% effective, 95% effective. Yeah. Well, that was just a little overestimate.
00:25:16.320
Uh, it's effective, pretty good for about three to six months, depending on your age and circumstance.
00:25:23.240
And then it turns out you don't need one booster. Well, it looks like you could use four and the least,
00:25:30.060
the least number of fatalities in children and the most, uh, you know, the quickest, uh, recovery
00:25:39.020
from the disease is among children. And meanwhile, uh, they, they want to vaccinate children. It looks
00:25:48.040
like, and I'm not saying this in any way is the case, but it has the strong appearance of big pharma
00:25:54.220
looking for, uh, you know, a new target, uh, market, doesn't it? Uh, yeah. And, uh, big pharma
00:26:01.240
Fauci, I don't know what the financial ties are there, but, uh, uh, uh, and I think the government,
00:26:06.880
especially when Democrats, this is a dream come true for them, uh, ordering you to do things,
00:26:12.860
ordering you, what you'll take ordering, where you can go, what percent is allowed in a restaurant,
00:26:16.800
when you're allowed to go to a restaurant for the last two years, they've been in heaven with this
00:26:20.580
stuff. And, uh, you know, they'll decide when you wear a mask, when you take it off, this is
00:26:25.700
democratic heaven. So, uh, as this ends and it looks like the pandemic could be ending in the
00:26:31.220
next few months, uh, I don't know what Democrats are going to try to do to keep this, this going,
00:26:35.480
who knows what they'll pull. Well, what I don't want to do is see another phone call between Fauci and
00:26:41.720
the Chinese, uh, communist, uh, medical, uh, group, uh, in Wuhan. I, I just don't want any more
00:26:50.920
contact between them. It is the last contact did not work out well for the United States and indeed
00:26:56.320
the world. Uh, and right now we still don't have an administration that is talking about holding the
00:27:05.460
Chinese libel and make making them accountable for the, the 5 million deaths around the world,
00:27:13.180
over 800,000 deaths in America. And you've got him talking Biden, talking on the phone with
00:27:19.560
president Xi, and we still don't know what they said. Uh, did he ever say, sorry, even one little
00:27:26.500
apology for all the death and devastation that he's created the, the economic disaster that the pandemic
00:27:33.780
has been, do you remember she even saying, Hey, I'm just so sorry. Excuse me. Well, if you're
00:27:41.680
going to have a commission, a panel, a Senate committee, a house committee, this should be
00:27:45.500
the number one question. Where exactly did this come from? How did it get loose? What can be done
00:27:50.260
to prevent it in the future? Uh, the economist Steve Moore today's just said the U S has spent 5
00:27:56.320
trillion altogether on this pandemic. It's cost us 5 trillion. Um, she probably has that in his
00:28:03.060
pants pocket. So, uh, some reimbursement, uh, should be necessary, but the most important thing,
00:28:07.940
this is the one thing a committee should investigate. Where did it come from and how could we prevent
00:28:12.820
this from ever getting loose again? Yeah. I mean, think about it, uh, Mark, I know you have, but
00:28:18.640
we're talking about Russia, Vladimir Putin and his forces massing on the Eastern, uh, uh, border of
00:28:29.440
Russia looking over at Poland and, uh, Ukraine and Belarus, uh, maybe a few Baltic States. Maybe we'll
00:28:38.240
see what happens there. Uh, a big, a big threat. And you have president Zelensky of Ukraine telling
00:28:45.060
Biden to slow down, calm down, don't panic. Uh, I don't believe the Russians are going to invade.
00:28:52.440
You're being hysterical. He says, uh, of Biden, uh, what a, what a upside down world the Biden
00:29:02.340
administration creates in almost every area, whether it's foreign policy, domestic policy,
00:29:07.280
economics, you name it. Yeah. I think, uh, you know, all these really threaten the Russians with
00:29:12.920
is a economic sanction. I think they take that threat very seriously because they know one thing
00:29:17.400
Biden knows how to do is destroy an economy. If he, if he sets his mind to it. So they don't,
00:29:23.200
uh, and I think, uh, you, the Ukraine knows Biden, the Democrats are in tough shape heading into the
00:29:28.260
midterms. They're worried about some wag the dog scenario, or they might pull to try to save
00:29:32.780
themselves. So, uh, uh, I mean, you can't blame them. They do not trust Biden to maneuver their way
00:29:39.320
through this. Yeah. They were a little confused. I'm sure. Well, first of all, Biden sort of, uh,
00:29:44.420
started talking and remember in that disastrous news conference, he said, well, you know, if it's
00:29:49.860
a minor incursion where you could just talk about it, you know, if that wasn't a green light to Putin,
00:29:56.820
what was, and so Putin gets the idea that he's got a green light and he looks at the U S borders and
00:30:04.040
realizes borders don't mean anything anyway to president Biden. So why should I slow down at our
00:30:11.400
own borders? We'll just open those up as well. So the tanks can just roll right on. Uh, you know,
00:30:17.500
who knows, maybe they're headed toward, uh, uh, Germany to kind of hook up and, you know,
00:30:23.880
you know, do some, uh, payback for things that were well, longstanding 80 years ago.
00:30:31.240
Yeah. And the media makes all this possible because we still don't know what is the exact
00:30:36.360
relationship between Ukraine and Hunter and Joe Biden, China's relationship with the Biden
00:30:41.020
that we still don't know all of this and what kind of influence that could be having behind the
00:30:45.320
scenes. Think about that. That's, you know, that's a great point, Mark, because what if this is all
00:30:51.820
because Biden didn't, Hunter Biden didn't get the check, some oligarch promised him. And therefore,
00:30:59.840
you know, daddy, daddy Biden wants to roll a few tanks of his own into, uh, Ukraine to kind of
00:31:06.760
straighten things out or is using Putin perhaps as a, as a hammer, you know, he's, uh, he's playing
00:31:14.100
bag man, uh, in Kiev, uh, and, uh, Putin says, well, this would be a good place for me. I'll be the
00:31:20.900
enforcer. Uh, it could be that simple. Who knows? But one thing we do know, the president of Ukraine
00:31:28.680
isn't worried about everything that suddenly, uh, the Pentagon is just going nuts over, they got a
00:31:36.980
chance to send 8,500 troops, 82nd airborne to, to Eastern Europe. Wow. What an opportunity to get
00:31:44.660
back in the game for the military. Those generals who couldn't win a war in Afghanistan, who, uh,
00:31:52.080
created a, a doctrine called the long war doctrine was that worked out brilliantly. So now they're
00:32:00.980
just thrilled. I'm sure to have an opportunity to send some troops and lethal equipment, uh, to
00:32:07.080
Eastern Europe. It just goes on and on and on with this administration. Uh, let's, let's turn to,
00:32:15.080
uh, you're Mr. New York. What is happening in New York? Is there a crime rate that is going up faster
00:32:23.640
than inflation? It's got, it's gotta be scary to be in the big apple. It is very scary. Uh, we get a
00:32:32.240
new district attorney who's one of these Soros funded lunatics who not the second day, first day in
00:32:38.860
office puts out an order to everybody. We're going to decriminalize, uh, you know, we've heard this
00:32:43.160
before decriminalize the turnstile jumpers, uh, that kind of stuff. The, uh, okay. We've heard
00:32:49.580
that, but, but we never heard this kind of stuff, uh, armed robbers, no prison time, burglars,
00:32:56.080
burglary, no prison time. Nobody's ever heard anything like this. So you've got armed robbers
00:33:01.360
from around the country, all quickly moving to New York to operate here. Now, uh, you got, uh,
00:33:06.520
uh, criminals coming from all over the place. Uh, no prison time for shoplifting. We've got, uh,
00:33:12.600
shoplifters is one they found has been arrested and in the system 40 times and released for the
00:33:18.040
40th time cleaning out a right aid. Uh, there's a right aid drug store that's gotten robbed so many
00:33:24.020
times that they're going to have to close it down. They say they're losing 200,000 a month through
00:33:28.780
shoplifting. There's no reason to keep operating. Uh, and this lunatic district attorney, uh, I mean,
00:33:36.880
you've got them, we've seen what happens in 20 other cities. When this happens, it just leads to the
00:33:41.160
most massive crime wave. We've got a new mayor who is he great at making speeches speech after
00:33:47.520
speech after speech. Meantime, he doesn't seem to get anything done. It's early. So we're hoping
00:33:51.800
something happens. The governor can remove this crazy district attorney. I think she's going to be
00:33:57.580
very slow about it, but she's given him a warning, but who knows if, if that even means anything.
00:34:03.340
Well, he didn't even respond to the warning. He doesn't, and he's made no move whatsoever
00:34:08.920
to retract any of his, uh, you know, throw, you know, give us the keys because, uh, you're not
00:34:16.820
going to need them in the, uh, the local, uh, the local jail in Manhattan and the other boroughs.
00:34:24.280
New York is wide open and open for business. If you, if you're a criminal or have such instincts,
00:34:30.560
well, you know, they got another problem. These maniacs are on the subway stations and they are
00:34:35.500
throwing people into the subway tracks. Uh, and so the solution, the city is actually talking
00:34:40.540
about this, putting up these plastic barriers on the subway. That means when the maniac throws you,
00:34:47.100
you'll hit this plastic wall and bounce off. I'm not a crime expert, but I would say take the
00:34:53.660
maniacs out of the subway station. Don't try to come up with barriers to block the throw.
00:34:58.080
They'll end up throwing you over the barrier. I mean, a five-year-old could go into the subway
00:35:02.840
station, see the maniacs, just get rid of them, take them out of the station.
00:35:06.100
You can see those, uh, those criminal, uh, geniuses, uh, waiting to pitch, uh, some poor
00:35:13.720
defenseless, uh, woman, uh, out over the tracks, you know, with, uh, one of those acetylene torches
00:35:20.220
cutting through the plastic so he could, uh, pitch whomever he wanted out of the tracks. Uh, it's,
00:35:27.460
it's really so simple, isn't it? All you have to do is respect law and order and all law
00:35:32.800
and order requires is enforcement of the laws, but that doesn't occur to the geniuses who are
00:35:38.380
socialist Marxist idiots running the city of New York. And I mean, all of them are, it's impossible
00:35:46.780
to define them as anything other than lower than snakes bellies. Uh, uh, it's, it's a horrific
00:35:53.320
group of people. I'll see that. Uh, you may not like these guys if you're a Democrat, but you got
00:35:58.820
Rudy Giuliani, who is one thing about him, he's the world expert in how to clean up crime in New
00:36:03.120
York city. You got Ray Kelly, who's our longest serving police commissioner, kept the streets
00:36:06.920
safe for years. Call these guys, go meet with them. They'll show you what to do. They'd be happy
00:36:11.260
to. Uh, but it's the mayor puts out a 16 page plan on fighting crime. Uh, 13 pages of it are fluff.
00:36:20.200
He has an introduction, a table of contents, a conclusion. This is all to fill up 10 pages.
00:36:25.740
Then he's got things like a neighborhood safety program. I thought that's what the NYPD was
00:36:31.380
supposed to be. Summer jobs program. We already have all these things, but it wasn't detailed
00:36:36.520
enough. And that's what worries me. Yeah. Summer jobs programs. Let's go back to the war on poverty,
00:36:42.060
uh, 1965 for crying out loud. Uh, how did, how did that work out? And if it worked out so well,
00:36:48.120
why did you abandon it? How many times now and how many trillions of dollars later, uh, they're doing
00:36:54.420
absolutely nothing for people who need the help the most. Uh, and that is underserved, uh, is the
00:37:01.680
expression underserved minorities, uh, in, in New York city. Uh, it, it is absolutely a city that is
00:37:10.780
in rapid decline. Uh, and I don't know where it ends. If it does in fact end, uh, where are,
00:37:17.580
where is New York city headed? Uh, I don't know. Uh, you know, the midterm elections,
00:37:23.600
if Democrats just get slaughtered and they turn, turns out it was the crime issue had a lot to do
00:37:28.180
with it. Uh, there are adults in the room in this democratic party. These are the real culprits
00:37:33.000
guys like Chuck Schumer in their 40 years. They're supposed to be the grownups. They're supposed to be
00:37:38.140
the common sense people, but they're so terrified of these woke people that they're acting like this too.
00:37:43.180
They, they're the ones that should stand up to them. And, uh, hopefully, uh, a new crop of
00:37:48.420
Democrats will rise. We've got a one democratic candidate for governor, Tom Swasey, who's a common
00:37:54.100
sense, a middle of the road, crime fighting guy. Hopefully the guys like that will, will rise up
00:37:59.740
and, and win some elections. It's, it's really, uh, tough stuff. And New York is in the grip of a
00:38:08.980
psychosis, uh, that is, is now obviously afflicting other parts of the nation. Uh, whether it's, uh,
00:38:17.700
a president who decides to appoint a black female to the Supreme court, uh, and the rhinos go crazy
00:38:26.320
because it's affirmative action. And I'm wondering how, what the confusion is on the part of the,
00:38:33.860
of the, of the right. The purpose of affirmative action was to make beneficiaries of those minorities,
00:38:42.160
specifically African-Americans. And they've done so in colleges, universities, and job, uh,
00:38:50.580
in jobs and hiring and promotion. Uh, and this, if the result of this is indeed a, uh, a highly
00:39:00.540
exceptional justice sitting, associate justice sitting on the Supreme court, that means that
00:39:06.540
in fact, affirmative action work. So why are the Democrats and the left, uh, so upset that
00:39:16.020
Republicans take note that affirmative action worked? Well, I don't, I don't get it. Do you?
00:39:22.820
Yeah. Well, when you do a cheap pandering gimmick, you're not supposed to point it out to
00:39:26.300
everything. I'm supposed to be able to get away with this, but it's, uh, it's, yeah,
00:39:30.720
this is a Supreme court. It's the most important court in the land. You want the most brilliant
00:39:33.960
justice in America. You don't want to Joe Biden looking for a political points, checking boxes.
00:39:39.160
It has to be a, you know, a fat woman from Kentucky with red hair. You don't want to these
00:39:43.620
ridiculous, uh, categories that narrow it down. Uh, and we've had women on the Supreme court. We've
00:39:50.260
had black justices. So, uh, now you've got to combine two things. And there's a couple of
00:39:54.880
problems with the Supreme court. One is this, uh, by category. And the other thing is you got to pick
00:39:59.580
the top judges in America and they generally tend to be over 60 because that's how they became the
00:40:05.440
top judge years of wisdom. But now it's also got to be somebody 40 years old so that the seat is
00:40:10.260
safer, uh, 40 years. So you're getting judges a lot less experienced than we used to pick, uh,
00:40:15.860
not to mention now it's got to be a categories, checking boxes. So it's lowering the quality of our
00:40:21.280
Supreme court. Yeah. And, and the Biden white house is using the expression of the court has
00:40:26.900
got to look a lot of like America. Okay. If it's going to look a lot like America, uh, more than
00:40:33.460
half should be white. More than half should be female. Uh, almost half should be Hispanic and 12 to
00:40:41.760
15% should be black. I mean, who's kidding who here? What's going on? Uh, if you're going to,
00:40:49.360
if you're going to make America, the, the, uh, the template for the Supreme court and go with
00:40:56.860
nothing but group and identity, uh, politics, that's what it should be. Right. Oh yeah. All
00:41:02.720
of this comes back to the media covering for him. You know, they should be reporting that basically
00:41:07.120
what he's saying is he refuses to consider an Asian. He refuses to consider a Hispanic. It's
00:41:12.420
got to be a black female. Uh, and the media just lets this go. They just, if they went after
00:41:18.620
like they went after Donald Trump, everything would change immediately.
00:41:23.280
Absolutely. And, uh, speaking of racial issues, uh, the black lives matter, it turns out no
00:41:33.080
one's running the place. No one. Well, we didn't even, we don't know that it's a place. It's a
00:41:39.360
group. It's an organization, but nobody knows where the money's gone. They don't know where
00:41:44.020
the leaders have gone. They do know that they bought the former headquarters. I love this of
00:41:51.440
the, of the Canadian communist party. I, it didn't explain that one to me, Mark, because
00:41:58.800
even I, I can't even think on the outer fringes of American society, why anyone would want to go by
00:42:06.680
the Canadian communist party headquarters? What kind of totem symbol, uh, is that to the,
00:42:16.040
to the Marxist left? Well, you know, I, uh, Martin Luther King day, I was like, uh, you read about
00:42:21.540
Martin Luther King and when he died, they have nobody was greater at leading a movement than him.
00:42:25.880
When he died, he didn't have a penny. In fact, he owed money when he died. He never made a penny
00:42:29.300
off everything. Then you get, uh, you know, like an Al Sharpton type of, uh, supposedly a civil rights
00:42:34.660
leader, but meantime, a lot of money's flown in. Then you get black lives matter. I mean,
00:42:39.160
these were geniuses at money-making, uh, reports up to a billion dollars. This leader of a black
00:42:46.560
lives matter bought four houses. This one has five houses. I noticed we never heard from them again.
00:42:50.720
Once this money came in and they held all these houses, they seem to have disappeared, but there's
00:42:55.360
an old saying in Washington. I think this is what a, whatever starts as a movement always turns into a
00:43:01.460
business and then eventually becomes a racket. And I think that's what we've seen here.
00:43:06.040
Yeah. And that's an interesting way to look at it. And I think you're right. Uh, BLM is such a,
00:43:12.580
uh, such a peculiar organization and unique in that, in that corporate America has moved so far left
00:43:21.540
that it is supporting black lives matter has been, uh, I can't tell you what the, the latest, uh,
00:43:28.900
funding is, but they were pushing the same philosophy, the same Marxist philosophy and their HR departments,
00:43:36.140
corporate America was, and now suddenly they can't find the leaders. And it seems to me that
00:43:42.340
many of the companies that were funding black lives matter in the name of quote unquote, social justice
00:43:49.940
may have to, well, they face some class action lawsuits by their shareholders, because they certainly
00:43:56.660
weren't, uh, following any, any requirement of, uh, fiduciary duty and, and throwing a lavish
00:44:04.820
amount of money at an organization that as far as I can tell, most of its contributions were to street
00:44:10.980
violence, uh, and demonstrations. Yeah. And it was just absolute fear, panic, total fear. It just,
00:44:17.540
it's like you're handing money over to, uh, you know, it's almost like a ransom here. Just go away,
00:44:22.020
leave us alone. These are the same CEOs that would fight to the death, any union or battle
00:44:27.620
unions to the death, but this, they just went into panic and handed over everything. Uh, you know,
00:44:33.860
and it's the same thing with the news organ, you know, all these totally corrupt biased news
00:44:38.340
organizations are owned by corporations like AT&T and Comcast. And you think they'd want to stop that,
00:44:44.580
just stay in the middle where, where you could appeal to everybody, but they're just panicked.
00:44:50.020
They won't do anything about it. Yeah. And corporate America, uh, it's, it's so, so obvious.
00:44:58.500
And so many millions of Americans will not acknowledge what is staring them in the face. And that is a
00:45:05.140
corporate, uh, uh, America that is filled with Marxists, filled with, uh, oligarchs who have come
00:45:15.060
together in the ownership of major media, left-wing media, and they are running it. And that left-wing
00:45:23.540
media, they're no longer journalists. They are corporate propagandists doing the bidding of their
00:45:29.460
boardroom masters, sitting at a, uh, holding company, uh, whether it is, uh, you know, the parent
00:45:37.060
company of, uh, uh, ABC news is Disney, uh, Comcast, uh, of NBC and, and the list goes on, uh, Disney at
00:45:47.540
ABC news. It's terrible. What this, this country's media has devolved to in the hands of the oligarchs,
00:45:55.300
the billionaires and the vast media and entertainment companies that own now, uh, what 90% of the media
00:46:05.620
that people are consuming. Uh, and, uh, only Donald Trump had said he would break up big tech and go
00:46:14.740
after those anti-competitive practices of corporate America. And guess where he is now sitting there
00:46:23.060
waiting for his next turn in 2024 as a result of taking those, those people on both parties scared
00:46:30.180
to death because he was not controllable and meant business when he said, uh, America is going to, uh,
00:46:38.020
repair to its founding values. Wow. And you cannot find a, you know, there's 24 seven,
00:46:45.460
just going after Donald Trump for every little thing. You can't find anything they accused him of
00:46:49.620
that Biden and the Democrats haven't done on a much greater scale. Well, and the, and the truth
00:46:55.620
is Mark, they found nothing. I mean, two phony impeachments, uh, how many, 22 months of a special
00:47:03.300
council investigation before that a year of an FBI investigation, including while he was a candidate
00:47:10.260
for crying out loud and then to persecute him at the local and state level, whether it's the New York
00:47:16.500
attorney general, the Manhattan district attorney, uh, and now they're trying to cook up something
00:47:21.220
in Georgia with, uh, some, I will put it this way, slightly biased local prosecutors. Uh, it goes on
00:47:28.260
and on and the Republican party won't stand up for the man who is the very symbol of the Republican
00:47:34.660
party and taught them how to fight. That is president Donald Trump. It's the Republican party has got to
00:47:43.460
get beyond this current leadership, whether it's on Capitol Hill or in the Republican national
00:47:48.580
committee, don't you think? Yeah. You know, that Manhattan district attorney made such a big deal
00:47:52.820
out of getting ahold of Trump's tax returns. It was millions of pages. They put it on the news. Every
00:47:57.860
newscast had the truck, the moving van with all the tax returns, the forklift, bringing them up.
00:48:02.500
They brought in forensic accountants for four months to go through those tax returns.
00:48:06.420
Then you never heard about it again. There was no news story about that. They found nothing. They were
00:48:10.660
clean as a whistle. There was nothing there. Investigation dropped. Our attorney general
00:48:15.460
in New York, uh, announced a big, massive investigation against Donald Trump. She
00:48:20.100
actually announced a couple of weeks ago that they got him. He overstated the square footage
00:48:24.580
of his apartment. Lester Holt led with that story. That's a news story. That's every real estate ad in
00:48:31.220
New York. They always overstate the square footage. They're going to do that. And guess what? Uh,
00:48:37.060
those poor banks, uh, that the, uh, the Manhattan D a said, you know, Donald Trump, uh,
00:48:44.180
just absolutely, uh, projected a different value, uh, than, uh, we found as if there, there weren't, uh,
00:48:54.020
assessors, uh, uh, working for the banks. There weren't, uh, property experts working for the banks.
00:49:01.620
Uh, suddenly they've got to be protected by a, a DA who can't even spell square footage. Uh,
00:49:09.220
you know, what was his name? Vance, uh, I mean, God, Lord, what a, what a just sick joke he was.
00:49:17.780
Uh, and, uh, apparently the new fellow is going to try to follow in his footsteps. It's just,
00:49:24.820
and the Republican party won't act, uh, decent citizens. Uh, and of course, corporate America
00:49:31.060
normally would be a countervailing influence to all of this to stop the nonsense. They're saying,
00:49:35.860
go for it. Uh, it's, it's that simple. You know, they, even, uh, the same attorney general
00:49:40.980
put in handcuffs and perp walk a Trump organization, CFO, they found him using a company car. Now I
00:49:48.100
assume every CFO everywhere is using a company car. It's not a scandal. Uh, but no, the media
00:49:55.780
goes along with this. Joe Biden could smuggle in millions of people in the dead of night. No
00:49:59.940
mention, but speaking of Joe Biden, Mark, the U S attorney document, uh, fascinating report in
00:50:08.340
Breitbart, uh, in which, uh, it turns out the IRS issued grand journey subpoenas to JP Morgan,
00:50:15.860
uh, for Hunter and James Biden bank records and an investigation of the Biden family's China
00:50:22.980
connections. And that was in may of 2019. And I, I'm, I'm like everybody else. First,
00:50:33.140
I didn't know that nobody let us know that. And secondly, what happened? Where, where did it go?
00:50:41.380
Well, and why hasn't there been, uh, uh, some exposure of what is, I think the biggest cover
00:50:48.660
up since, well, well, for 60 years, anyway, again, Lester Holt did a whole opening on Donald
00:50:55.780
Trump overstating the square footage of his apartment. You'll never see this Hunter Biden
00:50:59.460
subpoena story, uh, on Lester Holt. If you do, it'll be at the end of the newscast for 10 seconds,
00:51:03.860
but, uh, it turns out it's the Delaware U S attorney, uh, Weiss was his name. He decided
00:51:09.460
this should be quiet, no mention of it, keep it under wraps because of the election. And the swamp
00:51:15.540
guy, uh, Bill Barr attorney general at the time, uh, okays that plan. And he decides to keep it quiet.
00:51:20.980
They said, uh, it's not something you want to mention before the election. Well, that's exactly
00:51:25.940
when we needed to know it. Yeah. You don't want the people to know things when they go to vote,
00:51:30.500
uh, like the contents of Hunter Biden's, uh, laptop, for example, or what Peter Schweizer,
00:51:37.140
the author of the terrific new book. It's a blockbuster runaway bestseller, uh, called red
00:51:42.980
handed, uh, $31 million end up in the pockets. And that's just what we know about, uh, in the
00:51:49.300
reporting of Peter Schweizer, uh, that ends up in the, the bank accounts of the Biden family.
00:51:56.260
This is worth knowing. And, and we have to wait till what over a year from the election,
00:52:02.180
uh, to be apprised of this. It's it's, it is absolutely, uh, an incalculable, uh, harm to the
00:52:12.740
body politic and, uh, our electoral system that Biden's campaign was managed the way it was from the,
00:52:20.500
uh, well, from the executive suites of media companies deciding what will and what will not
00:52:26.660
be known by the American people before voting. Uh, it's stunning stuff. Yeah. And when we find out
00:52:32.740
there was a subpoena for Hunter Biden and his partners, obviously, obviously he would have told
00:52:36.820
his father, Joe Biden, and we're supposed to believe Biden never got into contact with the, uh,
00:52:42.420
us attorney in Delaware or with bill Barr, these two old Washington guys, or, or there was some back
00:52:47.700
channel communication. We're supposed to believe he did. Biden did nothing about it. Yeah. And, and
00:52:53.140
are we supposed to believe that he, Joe Biden and president Xi Jinping, aren't, uh, aren't buddies.
00:53:00.820
And, uh, that Biden isn't a faithful acolyte, uh, of his, uh, uh, of Xi Jinping's entrepreneurial
00:53:09.620
largesse. He shares the wealth with his good friends in the West, whether they're on wall street
00:53:15.060
or in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, apparently Mark, you get the last word here today. We appreciate
00:53:21.620
you being with us. And, uh, we've, uh, taken quite a stroll through corrupt America, haven't we?
00:53:27.460
Yeah. Well, uh, in conclusion, uh, we used to, in the talk show business, have to struggle every day
00:53:32.420
to come up with a topic. What could we talk about it now? Every time you turn around the most insane,
00:53:38.020
crazy thing in the world is going on. We've, I haven't had to think of a topic for five years now.
00:53:44.260
I mean, this news is crazier than anything I've anybody's ever seen in their lifetime.
00:53:50.180
Yeah, absolutely. And, uh, I don't think that we're going to see it improve much, uh,
00:53:57.700
in the next short while, uh, we can hope otherwise we can pray otherwise, uh, but it, uh,
00:54:03.300
it looks like certainly uphill work to get there. Mark Simone, Mr. New York. Great to have you with
