0:27.5

I'm doing okay. I'm counting down the seven days until the administration comes in. You know,

0:32.5

even if you don't like Donald Trump or you're a Democrat, you can't be happy with the way this administration winding things down, right? I mean, it's kind of like, you know, when your team isn't going to make the playoffs and they have three games to play, and they play out the string. That's what this feels like, even if you like these guys, but if you don't, you know, you wake up every morning, Mark, wondering what other nasty thing they're going to do before they get out the door.

0:54.9

Oh, no, you're wrong. I was watching MSNBC. They had a whole show explaining it was a very successful presidency that the economy is great, that he did a wonderful job. How do they get on the air and do that with a straight face? Well, you know, that's why I would call them the regime news media.

0:53.4

You know, that's really the better name for them.

0:55.2

I guess that when they're I would call them the regime news media.

1:12.6

You know, that's really the better name for them. I guess that when they're not in favor of the regime anymore, when Trump gets in, we'll have to come up with another name for them. But, you know, I was just thinking about that this morning. You know, as Biden is leaving office, America's second largest city is in flames. inflation has started to pick up again for those of you who haven't paid attention

1:10.2

I paid eight dollars for a carton of eggs yes you know last week is in flames. Inflation has started to pick up again, for those of you who haven't paid attention.

1:27.5

I paid $8 for a carton of eggs last week at the supermarket, and it's going up.

1:34.9

Gasoline prices are going to start spiking again because oil prices are up.

1:39.2

Mortgages are completely out of reach right now.

1:42.3

I mean, the bar for Trump to clear to make us feel like things are getting better in the first six months is getting pretty low. I mean, it's getting really low. And I mean, I'm laughing about it, but this is a really bad exit. You know, I mean, it's a bad exit. And it's, and you know, the fact that you saw that on MSNBC is not unrelated. You know, you have an unaccountability problem, unaccountability problem. These people are not accountable to the people that they know. I mean, obviously people like you and me and other good people hold everyone accountable, no matter what party they're in. But when the people that they know, the people that they schmooze with, the people that they watch, you know, people who watch TV, watch CNN and watch MSNBC never hold them accountable, then this is what you get. I mean, honestly, don't these people at MSNBC want to tap into people's concerns? Don't they want to get higher ratings? I mean, I'm answering my own question. The answer is no. They have another agenda, and it's not to make money or raise their viewership. Hey, I was talking before, on the way out, the final weekend,

2:39.9

the Saturday, Sunday, that's when a guy like Biden does the dirtiest pardon, the sleazyest

2:45.3

executive orders. And what about Israel? What do you think is, I mean, what sleazy thing is he

2:50.6

going to do to them on the final day or two?

2:53.5

Well, that's why, you know, so we're shearing in the next day or so we might actually get a real hostage release.

3:00.3

And it's going to be sad in a lot of ways because, yeah, it's looking much better for this now.

3:04.6

I mean, I was just told that certain services in Israel are now being told to be prepared to take in some of the, you know, to receive some hostages. Now, that's good news as a headline. Bad news, Mark, as I'm hearing it's going to be like 20, 24, you know, not the 101. I mean, that's devastating. But the thing is, Mark, I think Israel needs to rush with this.
