• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone Show
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on seven R.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, not bad today, it'll be a near forty. It's
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: going to be in the fifties this week. That's good news.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: We got a lot to get to today. There's a
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: lot of things going on. We'll get to Maduro and
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: all the latest. We'll get to Mamdani and all the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: bad news. We'll we'll get to Marty Supreme, remind me
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: to talk about that. We'll get the Frank Sinatra coming up.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: We'll get to MS now they're looking more and more
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: pathetic now that NBC threw them the hell out. We'll
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: get to Wegmans. We'll get to Jimmy Kimmel. We got
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: lots to get to today. Hey, this just happened about
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: an hour ago. It looks like a congressman has died.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I forgot the name. It's not a name of it
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: even know. He's a California Congressman House of Representatives. But
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the problem is he was one of the few Republicans
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: in California, so he's a Republican congressman. He's apparently it's
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: been confirmed he's dead. Now that means the Democratic governor
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: will appoint a Democrat to take that seat until they
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: can have an election. Now, the problem is Republicans in
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the House of Representatives I think are right on the border.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I can't these other people have left. You know, there
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: are a couple of empty seats right now. I think Republicans
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: are down to two hundred and eighteen in the House.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Would put them right on the border, the absolute borderlines.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: If they lose anything, they lose control of the House.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: That's why this congressman dying this morning very crucial to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the Republicans. It would mean Mike Johnson wouldn't be Speaker anymore.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It would mean if Democrats take control, you'd have an
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: impeachment every month. You remember, in Trump's first term, they
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: would impeach him every year in the spring. Every spring impeachment.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: This would be every month. Obviously they would start with
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Maduro and Venezuela. That would be their first impeachment thing,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and then they would impeach him over Epstein. He would
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: impeach him over January six Oh, he can't do it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: They already did January sixth. That didn't go anywhere. But
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: they'll find something every month. Now Maduro in court pleaded
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: not guilty. You know they set the next court date.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: He was in court yesterday. When's the next day comes
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to court? March seventh, that's two months away. That means
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: he sits in jail for two months in that Brooklyn
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Correctional Center. They don't seem to trust the Manhattan Correctional
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Center anymore. That's where they put Jeffrey Epstein and he
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: got dead in there. I was going to say he
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: got murdered in there. Well, we'll see, and they ruled
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: it officially a suicide, but who knows. But they don't
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: seem to trust it anymore. So they now keep the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: prisoners in the Brooklyn Detention Center, the US Attorney Southern District.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: That's where they kept p. Diddy, and that's where they
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: kept Gallay Maxwell, and this is where they're keeping Maduro.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: He's got lawyers that have been appointed for him and
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: he's going to plead not guilty. But there's evidence, I
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: mean physical evidence. There's a text back and forth. They'll
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: prove he was involved hands on with the narco drug trafficking.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: The terror. Narco terrorism is what it was. He'll be
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: charged with that. He will be convicted now. And if
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: he's claiming that he is still the leader of Venezuela.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: That's kind of well. Here's the legal expert, Jonathan Turley.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: His statement in court was remarkable that he's still the
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: president of his country. You would think that the prison
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: jump suit would disabuse him of that concept. But I
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: certainly over fifty countries around the world would not accept that,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and I don't think the court will either.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: You See, if you want to sound smart like a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Turley, you use words like that. You don't say
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he claimed he was still the president, which makes him
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: sound nuts. You say the jumpsuit would disabuse him of that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Throw that word in now, and then disabuse him. Here's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: more of a Turley. Now, remember you're going to hear
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: all these democrats and all the fake news talking heads
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: tell you this was an illegal operation. This is unheard
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: of to go into a country seasonally. It's done all
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the time. It's been done many times. We arrested Noriega.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: You can talk lots of cases where this has happened,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and plenty of presidents have done things like this.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: This is Norjega two point zero. I mean, he is
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: going to be arguing that he is still the head
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: of state and titled to immunity. I just that very
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: few people believe that's true, and he's in a worse
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: position than Noriega. So I expect that they're going to
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: stick the landing on this. They're gonna this is going
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to go to trial, and he stands an excellent chance
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: of being convicted.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll just repeat the whole Noriega thing. They hear
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the Democrats. If you watch Rachel Maddow or any of
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: those shows, you know, Jake Tapper, you know, if you're
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: just watching, they look like very serious, very knowledgeable people,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: but they're like crazy partisans. And though if you watch
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: these shows, they'll tell you things like, well, I've done
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: quick violation of international law, international law. What the hell
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: is nobody's ever heard of this international law. There is
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: no international law that we have to follow. He's more
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of turly.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: They have not only these these recordings that they say
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: show him taking an active role in the criminal enterprise,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: but this wasn't just simply criminal enterprise.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: This was a family enterprise.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: And so you've got his son, his wife with facing
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: very strong evidence, but you also have high ranking former
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: associates who have pled guilty and they very well could
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: be cooperating witnesses, including the former head of military intelligence
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: in his country.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's gotten no shot at beating this charge. Now,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: normally you get in the right judge. You know, you're
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: left wing kook of a judge in Manhattan. But looks
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: like they got a good judge. I think he's ninety
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: five years old, this judge, but still on the bench.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: And you have to go through these documents and one
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: of the defense counsel maybe two will be designated as
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: clear council, and they will sit in a metal room
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: called a skiff, and they will look through all of
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: these documents and they will file challenges. That's why this
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: isn't going to go anywhere for over a year as
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: they work through this stuff.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Now, that's why the next court date is March seventh,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and why they're waiting two months. There's a ton of evidence,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: a ton of documents. They have to give his attorneys
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: plenty of time to go through all this stuff. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: as Turley says, it's probably going to be a year
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: long trial. This guy will spend the next year in
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Detention Center. Not good for him. Now, again,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: if you're reading the New York Times or you watch
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: that MSNBCMS NOW whatever the hell they call it or CNN,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you don't know what the hell's going on. They give
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you a little it's like the jigsaw puzzle. To give
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: you two pieces. That's it, that's all you get. Leave
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: out all the other three hundred pieces, so you never
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: get the whole picture. They never point out to you
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: that every Democrat, every major Democrat, Biden, Schumer, of the
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: War and anybody can name, have been screaming and screaming
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: for years to get rid of Maduro, that he's a
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: war criminal, he's a narco terrorist. He must be eliminated.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: You have to get rid of him. They've all been
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: calling for getting rid of Maduro. When the Biden administration
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: was in power or the Obama administration all talked about
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: getting this guy, getting rid of him. Of course it's Democrats.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: They just talk. They don't actually do anything. Hey, here's
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Biden has been doing this for longer than anyway. This
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: is forty years ago. Listen to Biden.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Way back then, for the first time, we were fighting
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: and losing the war on our own soil. Let's go
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: after the drug lords where they live with an international
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: strike force.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: There must be no safe haven for.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: These narco terrorists, and they must know it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Now here's an interesting question. Why would you become a
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: drug lord? Why would you get involved in drugs? You
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: ever watched that show Breaking Bad? Better call Saul gus Fring,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: who's the one the Salamancas. When you look at that,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: do you say, I'd like to be like I'd like
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to live like them. They're living out in the middle
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: of the desert. Looks like the dirtiest business. Why would
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: you want to get involved in that? Well? Money, if
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you're in the middle of Mexico. How else you going
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to make hundreds of millions of dollars except in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: drug business. It's money that leads into hi But but
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: now here's the thing about Maduro. He's running Venezuela. Venezuela
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: has twenty percent of the world's oil it has. It's
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: sitting right now on three hundred billion barrels of oil.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: There's seventeen trillion dollars in oil in Venezuela. Why didn't
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: he just use that? He let the whole oil industry crumble,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: dry up, the infrastructure to pump the oil all decay.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: All he had to do was bring that back fix
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the infrastructure, and start pumping oil. He could have been
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the biggest oil baron in the world. You see those
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Saudis with the palaces in the garage with five million
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: rolls royces that he could be bigger than these guys.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Why did he become a narco terrorist when he could
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: have been the biggest oil bearing around. Now we'll go
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: in there and fix the infrastructure, get the oil pumping
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: again again. Seventeen trillion trillion in oil is sitting there.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Venezuela could be one of the wealthiest, most successful countries
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: in the world. Now we got to get the American
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: oil companies to go in there. They're not going to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: be too crazy about doing this because it looks like
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: it could be some kind of dangerous war zone. But
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: once they get it stabilized. Now you're also going to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: watch all these democrats ye all about Trump campaigned about
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the endless wars, no boots on the ground, none of it. Well,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: there's no hit that he's ever going to do anything
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: like that. This was just a quick three hour operation
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: in out seize the leader. And one reason this was
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: done is Grenada. You remember when Ronald Reagan took office
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: in his first year. Towards the end of his first year,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: he did the same exact sort of thing. We invaded
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: this little tiny island of Grenada. A bunch of American
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: medical students had been captured and were being held hostage.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Reagan did the same thing. It was a quick just
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: a few hours on the ground. American military went in
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: there and just attacked the building where they were being held,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: extracted these medical students, got them out of there real fast.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: It was an incredible military operation. The reason that Reagan
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: did that is he took over from a president who
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: was just horrible with the military. Jimmy Carter had turned
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: our military into a worldwide embarrassment. They were out of parts,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the weapons weren't working, everything was old, outdated number. Carter
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: even tried to rescue our hostages in Iran and the
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: helicopters couldn't even land right. They crashed. Everybody got killed.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: It was a disaster. And the same thing with Biden.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: He let the military decay, the equipment decay. He tried
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the Afghanistan withdrawal, and it was like a Jimmy Carter operation,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: total disaster. People got killed, just humiliating, embarrassing. So we
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: had to get our reputation back and go back to
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: being impressive militarily to the world. So this was Grenada,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: That's what this was for. It was a demonstration for China, Russia,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Iran because China, Russia, it didn't claim to have an
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: incredible military, but they don't. We've seen Russia in Ukraine
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: and all Russia's got is a little ragtag army with
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: drunken kids that can't fight. They don't have a proper equipment,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: they don't even have night vision. Where pretty sure that
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: China is the same thing. It looks like a big,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: big military, but they've never been battle tested and they'll
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: probably be as bad as Russia. So it's a demonstration
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to the other countries that we have incredible military capability.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: We're back. This operation in the middle of the night
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: to go into the palace there and seize Maduro was
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: incredibly detailed. Do you know. They built an exact replica
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: of his residence, which means they knew exactly what his
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: residents looked like in every detail. They had people on
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the inside. So they built a replica, a complete replica
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: of his residence, and they trained in that for months.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: They also went in there. I mean the skill of
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: these guys. You know, they used to say Pete Heggsath
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: is the most unqualified, the least qualified a defense secretary.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: The guy has run flawlessly, run the most incredible military
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: operations for the last year, from the taking out of
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Iran's nuclear reactors to the going after the oil tankers.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I mean this one. To run this, you got to
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: give this guy credit as one of the most successful
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: defense secretaries ever. But to get to that residence, they
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: had to take out all the military bases, knock out
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: all the electricity, They shut down all the lights in
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the city. The stuff that went on was unbelievable, the
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: whole operation, from the moment they went in. Three hours
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: later they got Maduro on the deck of an American
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: warship out at sea and they're taking them away. So
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: it was an incredible operation. It's a big demonstration too Russia,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: China and Iran. And don't think the message was received
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: loud and clear. So uh, Mom, Donnie, oh oh, Mom, Donnie.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Now he uh. There was a terrible rumor yesterday that
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: he had demoted the police Commissioner Jessica Tish everybody likes her,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: that she would now report to the first deputy mayor,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: not to him. He corrected that, he said, it's not true.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: My police commissioner will continue to report directly to me.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: My police commissioner, just like my school's chancellor will report
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: directly to me. The executive order is in terms of
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: the question of coordination, this is reporting continues to be directly.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: To the mayor. Yeah, I don't know how that's good
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: according to this guy. This guy's got they've never had
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: a job in his life. He's twelve years old. You're
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: reporting that at least that first deputy mayor might be
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: another left wing cook. But he'd been a deputy mayor
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: before under Deblasio. But so, mom, Donnie. You know the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: other thing which is weird. He talks about affordability. He
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: wants to have free buses, he wants to freeze to rent.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Everything's bringing the prices down, affordability. Yet when it comes
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: to this congestion pricing, the guy loves it. Hochel, mom, Donnie,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: yesterday celebrating the one year anniversary of congestion pricing. It's
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: a tax on people. Everybody has to pay it. Everybody
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: you're paying, even though you're saying, well, I don't have
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: a car, you're still paying the congestion pricing because every
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: form of transportation from a cab to an uber has
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a price increase as a result. And everything you buy
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: in every store in Midtown Manhattan there's a price increase
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: because the trucks pay enormous congestion pricing fees and that's
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: added into the price. But here he was celebrating.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Congestion price is a program that has been successful, no
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: matter how you measure it. We all understood the imperatives
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: of dreaming of a different kind of streetscape in this city.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: The hell's he talking about? What is a streetscape? Were
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: you dreaming of a different street scape? You know? I
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: was kind of dreaming of the old one where it's
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: just cars. Now you can't cross the street without looking
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: six ways. You gotta wait, Is there a scooter? An
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: electric bike? Is there one of those petty cat You're
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: gonna get hit by anything and everything in every direction.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Hokel loves this congestion pricing, And yes, the cameras are
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: staying on.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: But now, my friends, the results are extraordinary.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: They convinced themselves of this nonsense. Now she did say
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: there is a price increase coming but it's twenty twenty eight.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Here's the good news. Bruce Blakeman will be the governor
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: and he'll take office in jan twenty twenty seven. And
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sure the first thing he'll work on is getting
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: rid of congestion pricing. It's absolutely ridiculous. You want to
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: ease congestion. Put the street back the way it was
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: with four lanes. Now it's like one lane, one lanes
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: of parking lane, one lanes, a bike lane, one lanes,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: a petty cab lane, one lanes a scooter. Put the
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: street back the way it was. This congestion because you
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: took two thirds of the street away on every street.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: They we'll get to Tim Waltz. Why did he drop out?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: My daughter is saying the family was getting attacked left
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and right, and his political career is over. He announced
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: yesterday he's not running.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: I'm passing on this race with zero sadness and zero regret.
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: I did not run for this job to have the job.
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: I ran for the job to do the job.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: The hell is he talking about? Now? You got to
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: give him credit for a guy with an IQ of
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: ninety maybe name eighty maybe eighty, goofy, silly looking guy
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: not very intelligent. Look where he got, you got to
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: give him credit. Now, they've got to be governor of
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a state. You got to be the vice presidential nominee.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: If a guy with no brains and no talent, you
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: got to give him credit for that. Now, what happens,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: who's going to run for governor of Minnesota. Well, our
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: old buddy, Mike Lindell, my pillow is as announced he's
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: running for governor. He's one of the biggest, biggest businessmen
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota. So now here's the bad news. There looks
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: like they're going to try to throw somebody strong against him,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: a big Democrat like Amy Klobucher. The Senators now talking
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: about entering the race, so they'll put up a big candidate.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: They actually think Lindell has a great shot. Remember, Minnesota
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: goes for those kind of non political types like a
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Jesse Ventura. So this will get interesting. Hey, we'll take
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: some calls. Next eight hundred three to two one zero

  Speaker 8: now this raid demand so far he's three and oh
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: he's flawless. He's doing a great job. But the funniest
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: thing yesterday was with that idiot Wandonie when he said
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: I have to call the president and chastise him. Could
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: you imagine the White House? They probably put him on
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: hold for like an hour. Is the president? This guy's
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: on the line. You wanted to take a call?
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, I know how Trump Panalty's I've watched
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: him for about thirty years. When an idiot's on the phone,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: he's rolling his eyes at everybody in the room, like
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: pointing at the phone and making faces. But when he's
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: on the phone actually talking to he said, he just
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: knows how to button them up. And he said, yeah,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I really want your opinion on this. Yeah, let me
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: know what you think. Well, that's coming from you, that's
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: very h that's good. Advice. It's very important. And then
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: he's rolling his eyes for everybody in the room, holding
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: the phone away from his head and making faces. And
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: now he I'm sure he said it to the end.

  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Yeah, anytime you got any thought, Yeah,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: call me, call me. Keep in till you got my number, right, Well, yeah,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: keep calling me. He's very good at that. Remember, a
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: big part of his life is being a salesman. I mean,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: besides building an empire and building one hundred stories skyscrapers
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: all over the world, I mean, you got to be
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: a hell of a salesman. He's great with that stuff.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Harriet in Brooklyn. Harriet, how you doing.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's the pleasure speaking with you.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Mark.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: You're the best. Mark. We got to get Blakeman. And however,
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: if there is a watchman on the wall, if there
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: is continued voting without voter ID, there's no way that
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: he's going to beat these communists.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Well, actually you can. There is cheating with that no
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: voter idea and all that stuff, but usually you got
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: to get like an extra seven percent to overcome the cheating.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Blakeman is going to be great at this. First of all,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: he's the only one qualified to be governor. He actually
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: is a governor right now. That's what he does in
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Nasau County. It's basically the governor of Nasau County. He's
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: done a phenomenal job, best county executive in America. Nobody
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: more qualified than Blakeman to be governor. Now you might say, then, well,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: what is he good as a candidate. He has been
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: brilliant on social media the last week. The last week
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: he has just check his social media every day. He's
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: got videos up of him. He went to Buffalo to
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: go to the Buffalo Bill's game. That looks good. You know,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: you got to win these upstate voters. He went to
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: a diner, then he went to this place that's a
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: great Italian restaurant in Buffalo. You would think this guy's
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: lived in Buffalo all his life. He's great at this stuff.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Pretty amazing stuff. Let's go to Joel in Florida. Joel,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark, welcome back. It's a highpothetical question. Where
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: do you see New York City one year from today?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Right here, right next to Long Island, right below west Chester.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Where would I see it?
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: Being I mean under Mandami? Where do you see New
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: York City one year from today.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Well go back to Doublasio and look at one year
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: into his first term, and it's the same thing. This
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: is going to be de Blasio third term. It's just
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: going to be more Deblasio. He's in fact, it's the
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: same exact people, same deputy mayors, same commissioners. Although he
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: does find it's the same thing with the Blaso. You know,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: you look at who we appointed. This is when he pointed,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I'll find it. He just appointed somebody to some position,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: like a real left wing whacka. But that's exactly what
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Deblasio kept doing, the same exact thing. Now, let me
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: just clear up one thing about the fire commissioner all
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: hell broke Loues. He appointed a fire commissioner with no
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: fire department experience. That's perfectly normal. Half our fire commissioner's
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: never had any fire department experience. Every mayor at some
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: point appoints at fire commissioner who had never ever been
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: involved in the fire department. The last fire commissioner at
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Robert Tucker was great. The guy was phenomenal. No experience
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: with the fire department and he was great at it.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Who had caught your point Charles Hines, very respected guy
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: in New York politics. Never had any experience of the
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: fire department. He was fire commissioner before Robert Johnson at
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Tucker Robert Tucker. Last fire commissioner with no experience who
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: was before him Laura Kavanaugh, who was pretty good, no
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: experience at all. Laura had never been anywhere near a
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: fire department and it was actually Obama that got her
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: the job. Called up Eric Adams and got her the job.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: She was pretty good without any experience. You could name
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: half the fire commissioners. Howard Safer was a great fire commissioner.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: No experience, none, as in the fire department. So it's
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: perfectly normal. Let's go to sal in Long Island. Sal.
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: How you doing Hi, Good morning, Mark.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mark.
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: I was having an idea and was a little bit radical.
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: But with the violent crime we having in the cities
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: where guns and knives are prevalent and people are getting
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: seriously hurt or killed, there should be a punishment or
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: a deterrent for the person with the gun and knife.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we had all that stuff. Mandatory jail if
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: you have it. We had all these tough gun laws.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: You know, you go right to jail. With a gun.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: If you use a gun and you had an extra
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: ten years, we had all that stuff. Thank Andrew Cuomo
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: for getting rid of all that stuff. He's the guy
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: that got rid of bail. It's Andrew Cuomo. You know,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: no bail, no jail, close the prisons, drop all this
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: and him and the Democrats and the legislature and Democrats
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: all over in different cities, different states. They got rid
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: of all these things. In fact, even if you've been
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: picked up thirty seven times, if you come into court,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: you remember used to three strikes in, you're out. You
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: could come in the court happens every day forty two
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: prior arrests. That judge lets you out. No bail, no jail,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: thanks to Andrew Cuomo. Hey, when we come back Bill O'Reilly.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: We haven't talked to him in a few weeks. He's
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: been away. I've been away. We'll talk to Bill O'Reilly
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: next on seven to ten w R listening to.
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: Mark the mow.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Well. Bill O'Reilly, number one TV anchor for decades, number
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: one best selling non fiction author on Earth. You know
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: watches the TV show, get his columns, the book. Everything
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: is at Bill O'Reilly dot COM's latest book, Confronting Evil,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: a huge bestseller Bill O'Reilly dot com. But also make
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: sure you watch his YouTube channel. A lot of great
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: stuff there at Bill O'Reilly on YouTube. Bill O'Reilly.
• 24:44
  Speaker 12: How you doing, ah, Megan Josh, Happy new Year?
• 24:48
  Speaker 13: How are you good?
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: We haven't talked in a couple of weeks. So good.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Everybody's back. Not everybody's back. Tim Waltz is leaving, that's
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: good news. And Maduroz it's him.
• 25:01
  Speaker 12: Oh my god. You know, it's a when you look
• 25:05
  Speaker 12: at the whole landscape of the Democratic Party, it really
• 25:10
  Speaker 12: is a shambles. And the Republican Party isn't capitalizing on
• 25:17
  Speaker 12: the disarray within the opposition because of ego and you
• 25:23
  Speaker 12: know a lot of stuff that doesn't really matter. But
• 25:27
  Speaker 12: I've never seen the Democratic Party, and you know me,
• 25:30
  Speaker 12: I write about politics and history and all that in
• 25:33
  Speaker 12: worse shape than it's in now, you know what I mean.
• 25:36
  Speaker 12: Who's the leader of the party, Chuck Schumer. I mean,
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: just look at how he handled the Maduro thing. It's incomprehensible.
• 25:46
  Speaker 12: So Schumer in twenty twenty was mocking Trump when Trump
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: was running against Biden for not removing Maduro, mocking him well, removed,
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: you were going to do it, okay, and now he says, oh,
• 26:05
  Speaker 12: why you're removed, Maduro. I'm going Chuck, this is on videotape.
• 26:10
  Speaker 12: Do you have no idea? Do you have no idea
• 26:14
  Speaker 12: that what you say is then recorded for history? Apparently
• 26:17
  Speaker 12: Chuck does it. And now when he makes any statement
• 26:21
  Speaker 12: at all, he never lifts his head up. He's just
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: reading off of paper that somebody wrote for him, like Biden,
• 26:28
  Speaker 12: and I really think that, you know, I know he's
• 26:31
  Speaker 12: not going to run for reelection. That's what Cassio Korus says.
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: His seat and she'll win in crazy New York.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: You know, I always ask you to explain this crazy
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: left wing kook behavior, but I think it's just they're
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: just childish. It's like a child, you know. They demand
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: something and if you tell them they have to have
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: it now, they don't want it. If you tell them
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: they can't have it now, they want it. Is it
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: really that simple? They're just childish.
• 26:55
  Speaker 12: I think it's all emotion, particularly if you're younger liberal
• 26:59
  Speaker 12: people well, and conservatives too. I'm working on a special
• 27:05
  Speaker 12: now for News Nation. I think it's going to happen
• 27:09
  Speaker 12: about the craziness within the far right. You know, they're
• 27:14
  Speaker 12: attacking each other and tearing each other pieces and doing
• 27:18
  Speaker 12: all that. And when you step back and you look
• 27:21
  Speaker 12: at what they're doing, it's all emotion. And I think
• 27:25
  Speaker 12: those who drives this extremism, and there's some profit in
• 27:28
  Speaker 12: it too, there's money in it. The crazier you get,
• 27:32
  Speaker 12: the more people pay attention, and the more money you
• 27:34
  Speaker 12: can potentially make if you want to do it the
• 27:38
  Speaker 12: other way and build up credibility. That takes time and patience.
• 27:42
  Speaker 12: And you know, these people are on social media. They
• 27:45
  Speaker 12: want to make money, so they toil their grenades and
• 27:48
  Speaker 12: then you know, our Halberd's loose.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the difference there's obviously a lot of
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: crazy far right kind of you know, Alex Jones type
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: of nonsense, but the real you know, Scott Bess and
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Marco Rubio, they don't pay attention to that whole group,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: whereas with the left they kind of all are together,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: the crazies and the mainstreams.
• 28:09
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 12: The reason is that the left depends on the money
• 28:13
  Speaker 12: from the radicals like Soros and others, and the right doesn't.
• 28:20
  Speaker 12: That's the reason.
• 28:22
  Speaker 13: So there isn't.
• 28:22
  Speaker 12: Any kooky right wing group that funds individual politicians nearly
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: to the extent that the far left does. The Progressive
• 28:34
  Speaker 12: Communist movement a lot of money and they kick a
• 28:38
  Speaker 12: lot of money into campaigns. That's why Bragg is there,
• 28:45
  Speaker 12: That's why Letitia James is there, because they're far left
• 28:50
  Speaker 12: finance their campaigns. But you don't have that on the
• 28:53
  Speaker 12: conservative side.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Very interesting, that's a good explanation. Maduro will be convicted, obviously,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: And so what happened at No Kings I thought it
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: was No Kings now they love this.
• 29:05
  Speaker 12: Guy, Yeah, but nobody loves him. That was just communist stuff.
• 29:11
  Speaker 12: Yesterday and a New York Posts really did a good
• 29:14
  Speaker 12: job and tracking that down who these nuts were supporting
• 29:19
  Speaker 12: Maduro and they found out that they were from a
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: far left group that sympathetic. I mean, you know, but
• 29:27
  Speaker 12: it's not a mass movement of a yeah we like Maduro,
• 29:30
  Speaker 12: I mean, even a liberal people they have to know
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: this guy's a human rights violator and he's a drug dealer.
• 29:38
  Speaker 12: Just today, just about a few moments ago, I got
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: a call from a European and they frozen all of
• 29:46
  Speaker 12: Maduro's counts in Switzerland. Well, what is he doing with
• 29:51
  Speaker 12: the counts in Switzerland. What is that his government pension? Sally,
• 29:58
  Speaker 12: he's a guy in Switzerland. Come on, the guy's a
• 30:01
  Speaker 12: dope dealer. It's like, oh no, don't remove the dope dealer. No, no,
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: you know I did that. And then they pivot to
• 30:13
  Speaker 12: and CNN.
• 30:14
  Speaker 13: Is the best of this.
• 30:15
  Speaker 12: I love them. I then become my favorite go to
• 30:18
  Speaker 12: now CNN. They're better than any sitcom I have ever
• 30:22
  Speaker 12: seen on television, with the possible exception of the Mary
• 30:25
  Speaker 12: Tyler Marshall. Okay, so you can just I just turned
• 30:30
  Speaker 12: over there. I know when they hear lunacy, but funny lunacy.
• 30:34
  Speaker 12: So they come on in here last night, you know,
• 30:36
  Speaker 12: all for our brows. Oh oh Trump, Yeah, it's illegal.
• 30:42
  Speaker 12: Oh well Pa, And then they put it into it.
• 30:45
  Speaker 12: Well what happens now? So I said, why don't you
• 30:49
  Speaker 12: bring on this, Cleo, get a little ball there. Who
• 30:52
  Speaker 12: knows what's gonna happen? All right, That's not why they
• 30:56
  Speaker 12: made the move. Trump administration made the move because they
• 31:00
  Speaker 12: felt that the Venezuelan government was harming the United States
• 31:06
  Speaker 12: in a variety of ways. That's what I mean to move.
• 31:11
  Speaker 12: And you know, that's not a hard country to control.
• 31:15
  Speaker 12: And the CIA in conjunction with the Venezuelan military will
• 31:19
  Speaker 12: be able to com it down and then there'll be
• 31:22
  Speaker 12: an election about a year, as there should be, and
• 31:25
  Speaker 12: maybe the Venezuela's will get back to democracy. They're not
• 31:29
  Speaker 12: protesting in the streets in Caracas, and the army sold
• 31:34
  Speaker 12: out Maduro. They made a deal with the CIA, and
• 31:37
  Speaker 12: that's how the Delta Force got in there with no resistance.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Wow, hey, you mentioned CNN. Even funnier I think is
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: MS Now this is MSNBC after Oh, it's I can't
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: but I'm watching yesterday. They're promoting all day long Tonight
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: at nine exclusive interview with the Gaven Newsom. I see
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: this guy on TV every five minutes. Now right now
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: on the screen the promoting tonight exclusive interview with Nancy Pelosi.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: She's on everything on every channel every day. How is
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: this exclusive?
• 32:09
  Speaker 13: I guess?
• 32:10
  Speaker 12: I look, I can't watch that, all right, I have
• 32:16
  Speaker 12: to be honest, I just can't. But Cianna is a
• 32:20
  Speaker 12: different cat, as Dennis Miller would say, because CNN goes
• 32:24
  Speaker 12: worldwide and in every way tell you are you travel
• 32:28
  Speaker 12: the world? That's the NF Okay, they bought that thing
• 32:32
  Speaker 12: early to Turner, so they're propaganda that infiltrates everything. I'm
• 32:40
  Speaker 12: doing a YouTube. You mentioned my YouTube channel, which is
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: really very successful YouTube. Yeah, I don't even know what
• 32:48
  Speaker 12: YouTube is, but I'm successful on it. I'm doing a
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: commentary about Jimmy Kimmel doing a slash Trump American. He's
• 33:00
  Speaker 12: for British television. I got a call from a friend
• 33:05
  Speaker 12: of mine who lives in Western England who knows nothing
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: about America because there there's no reporting over there. They
• 33:12
  Speaker 12: can't get really what's happening. So he relies on me
• 33:15
  Speaker 12: to tell them why Trump is doing X, Y and Z.
• 33:19
  Speaker 12: And kim goes over there, it just slashes the country.
• 33:21
  Speaker 12: This is on Christmas Day, you may remember that. Yeah,
• 33:24
  Speaker 12: And I'm going why why do you want to hurt
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: your country?
• 33:29
  Speaker 13: Jim?
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: We know you don't like Trump, and you're perfect right
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: not to like him, But why do you want to
• 33:34
  Speaker 12: hurt your country?
• 33:36
  Speaker 13: Why?
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: And that's my commentary. This is actually seditious and I
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: do a freedom of speech. I mean, this guy goes
• 33:46
  Speaker 12: over and he does this propaganda stuff to a foreign
• 33:50
  Speaker 12: country that doesn't know any better, and it hurts his
• 33:53
  Speaker 12: own country.
• 33:54
  Speaker 13: What are you doing?
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: But I keep going back to childish. It's pouting. He's
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: just pouting.
• 33:58
  Speaker 12: It's child Oh yeah, well Jim has got that personal
• 34:02
  Speaker 12: thing going. But Trump does that too. But you have
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: to be honest. You know, you go after Trump and
• 34:08
  Speaker 12: he takes it personally, and it must do I do.
• 34:14
  Speaker 12: I'll listen. You come intact me and my family personally.
• 34:19
  Speaker 12: You're on my list. Yeah, and that's not a list
• 34:21

• 35:47
  Speaker 2: terry cloth. Actually retails for six hundred and ten dollars.

  Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure it makes it. I think it's oh,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: it's a Gucci. It's a Gucci towel, six hundred and
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: ten dollars, currently unavailable, sold out. So hey missus mom

  Speaker 2: and apparently extremely expensive, like eight hundred dollars boots that
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: she's wearing. Well, that's okay, and if she wants to
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: buy some nice boots. Why not. But she's a socialist,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: you know, she's supposed to have those Soviet style boots
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: and not extremely expensive designer boots. Hey, coming up in
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: the next hour, we got a lot to get to.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: There's a Frank Sinatra documentary. I forgot to mention. I
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: should mention it because you should take a look at this.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: It's really good. Also, we're going to talk about these documentaries.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: There's too many of them. A Frank Sinatra documentary, I
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: can understand, it's a lifetime of stuff. But Chevy Chase documentary, Well,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: we'll get to that and more coming up after the news.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Also we'll get to who got stranded during the Christmas
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: break and more coming up on seven to ten Wor
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: that's a Marshamal you are, well, what's the day today? Tuesday?
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I'm already worn out. I'm worn out already. I've been
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: off for a couple of weeks. This is exhausting. Two
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: days in a row of this, this is you see, Yeah,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: you get out of shape, you know you Yeah, But
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: we'll get back into it five days a week. We
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: got lots to get to this hour. Actually, I got
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: thousands and thousands of pages of stuff here that I
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: wanted to talk about that I never got to mention,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: but we'll get to it all before the week is over.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: We try to be like a pipeline to the real story.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: You know, if you're watching fake news, you get bombarded
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: with all this nonsense. The CBS Evening News, as we
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: mentioned yesterday, it's getting a little better. They're cleaning up
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: their act a little. It's still partisan, but not as
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: much as the other networks. They're cleaning it up. They're
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: getting a little more heading towards the center. They'll never
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: quite get there, but they're getting closer to it. A
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: big mix up yesterday on the CBS Evening News. It
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: was great to watch. They didn't seem to know what
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: story they were going to next. The guy finished the
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Maduro story. The new anchor, good looking guy, I can't
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: remember his name. I think they're trying to copy David Mewer.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: That's the most successful evening newscast in fact, in many weeks,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: it's the number one show in all the television and
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: even primetime. So I think they're looking for that formula.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Real good looking, a mannequin sort of a guy, keep
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: the graphics, everything moving real fast. That's what they're going
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: to try. So they finished the story Maduro, and then
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: he thought they were going to the Mark Kelly story,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: but they put up a different graphic and then he
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: stops right on the eggs wait a minute, which story
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: were we on? And they're talking to him in his
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: earphone and everybody's getting confused. They tell him which story.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: He goes to that, but the graphics still come up
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: something else. So but he handled it pretty well. He
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: handled it pretty well, he said. First week, everything's going crazy,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: but that's okay. It actually went viral that clip. It's
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: pretty good actually, because they may have even done it deliberately,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: because it gets a lot of attention that there's a
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: new anchor that when people see a clip like that everywhere,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: it's good promotion. It's better than any advertising you could buy.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: But we try to bring you the straight story, like
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: here's the real facts, here's what's really going on, Here's
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: what they don't tell you in fake news. They just
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: leave a lot of stuff out, you know, like when
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: it comes to Maduro, they don't tell you, you know,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: when Schumer says, how this is the most outrageous, illegal,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: most crazy thing, anybody's ever done. They never point out
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: on any of these fake newscasts that for ten years
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Schumer has been calling for this. Every Democrat, Pelosi, Schumer,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Elizabeth Warren, everybody you can name, they've been yelling and
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: screaming to get rid of Maduro, to take them out,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: to remove all screaming about it. And they're just children.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: They're just childish. Now that it happened, they act like
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: they hate it. Then they make up all this stuff
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: it's a violation of international law. They never tell you
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: there's no such thing anywhere as any international law that
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: the United States has to follow international law. Where is
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: this international law coming from? And then they tell you
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: the War Powers Act. This has nothing to do with
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: the War Powers Act. If you wanted to go to war,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: first of all, you know, if you went to war,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: you don't have to follow the War Powers Act. But
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: that's really what it's for. If you decided to go
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: to war with the country. It doesn't apply to quick
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: two hour military operations. It has nothing to do with that.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: You don't need any approval. Here's Mike Johnson.
• 40:32
  Speaker 14: Despite the claims by some of my colleagues, under the
• 40:35
  Speaker 14: War Powers Act, there is no requirement for prior congressional
• 40:39
  Speaker 14: approval or prior notification. And in fact, in this case,
• 40:43
  Speaker 14: the intelligence was so sensitive the conditions had to be perfect.
• 40:47
  Speaker 14: There was no predetermination of when exactly it would occur.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a top secret. You can't you're gonna trust
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: that with Hakeem Jeffries and then this Schumer, you know,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: with his new glasses, it gets all bent out of shape.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: You see the glasses fogging up.
• 41:00
  Speaker 15: He gets mad I did not receive any assurances that
• 41:04
  Speaker 15: we would not try to do the same thing in
• 41:07
  Speaker 15: other countries. And in conclusion, when the United States engages
• 41:13
  Speaker 15: in this kind of regime change and so called nation building,
• 41:18
  Speaker 15: it always ends up hurting the United States.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Well then why were you calling for it for ten years?
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: For ten years you've been demanding it. I give credit
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: to CNN. They had that awful Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: on last night, who's such a hypocrite on this that
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: they actually on CNN they actually confronted him with it.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: They put up his statement from like a year ago
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: calling for the immediate capture and the ouster of Maduro.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: It was such a flip flop. They even confronted him
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: about it, and he didn't know. What the hell does
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: say getting rid of Maduro. It's a great thing, here's
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Stephen Miller.
• 41:52
  Speaker 16: And as a result of that cooperation, the people of
• 41:54
  Speaker 16: Venezuela are going to become richer than they ever have before.
• 41:57
  Speaker 16: And of course the United States is going to benefit
• 41:59
  Speaker 16: from this actively in terms of economic security and military cooperation,
• 42:04
  Speaker 16: kind of narcotics, counter terrorism, at every other dimension of
• 42:07
  Speaker 16: our security.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Again, I don't know what the hell he was doing
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: with drugs. Why would Maduro get involved with drugs. He's
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: sitting on twenty percent of the world's oil. Is seventeen
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: trillion dollars worth of oil right under the ground there.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: All you'd do is take it out, and you could
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: be the whole country with all that oil. They could
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: all be Saudi princes, they could all be oligarchs, everybody
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: in the country. It would look like a Dubai. It's
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: it's easy to do. Just fix the infrastructure and start
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: pumping the oil. There's three hundred billion barrels there underneath.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: So the other thing the fake news does, besides leaving
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: out ninety percent of the story so you don't get
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: the full picture, they create these myths, these narratives. You know,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: like Marjorie Taylor Green had a big fight with Trump,
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: not that he had much to do with her. I
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: mean met her a couple of times, but he had
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: really no can action with her. Once in a while
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: they be together at some event or something, but very
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: little connection to Marjorie Tayler Green. She got mad, they
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: got no fight about something. She anyway, she quit, She's leaving,
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: and you'll see these stories all over fake news. Maga
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: torn apart. There's a rift in MAGA, all the megas
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: torn apart by this nobody in MAGA. There are some
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: people like Marjorie Taylor Green, but it's a bunch of
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: people away over there, has nothing to do with MAGA.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: It's like Steve Bannon will criticize Trump. Remember Steve Bannon,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: He's still around, but you'll see civil War and Mega.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Steve Bannon has nothing to do with the most of MAGA.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: If you go in the cabinet room with Rubio and
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Scott Bessant and Doug Bergham, they're not thinking about Steve Bannon,
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: they're not worried about it. Nobody cares. It's like this
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: guy George Conway, you remember George Conway. What was that
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: thing called the Lincoln Project. You remember how he went
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: after Trump. He had been married to the great Kelly
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Ann Conway, but then they broke up when he went
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: insane literally, insane politically, and he's been attacking Trump. Remember
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: that Lincoln Project where they really went after him, all
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: kinds of made up nonsense. So now Conway is coming
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: to New York. He's gonna run for the seat. Is
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: it Jerry Nadler's seat. Jerry Nadler's not running for reelection.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: He's decided to leave Congress and just devote full time
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: to eating. So a Conway will run for the seat.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Now he doesn't live here. He lives in Maryland. He
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: used to live here. I don't know ten years ago,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: fifteen years he lived here, but he's been living in
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Maryland's I don't know how he run for this seat,
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: but he's going to do it. So if you watch
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: the fake news, the MS, Now Morning Joe, fake stuff,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: all they keep talking about is if George Conway wins,
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: it'll be an incredible thorn in the side of Donald Trump.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: He'll be going after Donald Trump. It'll be on dodible
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: tax on Donald No again, Nobody in that cabinet room
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: cares about George Conway. If you mention the name, they'd
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: look at you. You have to describe him for two
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: minutes before they remember who the hell he is. No
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: matter how much he attacks him, it can't be any
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: more than he's already been attacking him. And it doesn't
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: mean anything to them now. And let's say he had
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: that congressional seat and used it to attack Trump, Well,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: it'd be the same thing as Nadler. Nobody was a
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: bigger critic than Nadler. It means absolutely nothing, nothing to
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump or MAGA or anything. But they build it
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: up like it's some big problem. And then there's this
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: pole that they released today, one of those aps something
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Reuter is some fake news poll about seventy five percent
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: of America is not happy with capturing Maduro. They're against it. Well,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: if you look into the metrics of the pole, it's
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: totally rigged, totally slanted. The question is all wrong. They
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: used the wrong group, the wrong demo, the wrong this
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: the wrong time. It was before anybody knew anything about
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: it was as soon as it happened a couple days later,
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: everybody's had it explained to them a million different ways.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: So if you did a real poll with the right
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: demographics and the right metrics right now, you'd get a
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: whole different reading. Hey, a lot of celebrities got stranded
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: because of the Maduro raid. When they did that operation
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: down there in South America, they closed the airspace for
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: a long distance because they didn't know where those planes
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: would have to go and get out. They closed airspace.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: And this was the final days of the Christmas break,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. So when they closed the airspace,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of people could not get off there. You know,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: some people go to these crazy islands down there, like
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Saint Bart's and all those places. So all these celebrities stranded,
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: they could not get out, airspace closed, their planes couldn't
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: take off, so they they're all yelling and screaming and complaining.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Imagine complaining. Imagine you're a millionaire celebrity. You're complaining that
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: you had to spend an extra two days at Saint Bart's.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: This is a big, big problem to them, But they
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: all got out eventually. Speaking of celebrities, too many documentaries,
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: there's too many documentaries. There's one I forgot to tell
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: you about this, but you should watch this. You know.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Fox Nation is a Fox twentieth century Fox. They started this.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: It's their streaming service. It's called Fox Nation. It's got
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of great shows. But they just came out
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: with the Sinatra documentary. I already told you about this
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: about four or five months ago. Maybe it was six
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: months ago. I'm in the documentary, but that's when they
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: were filming the whole thing. But it's called Sinatra. What's
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: it called? Echoes of an Icon. I'm not crazy about
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: the title. But it's a great documentary. It's two parts,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: two hours, and then there's an additional bunch of segments
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: that you can watch. But it's phenomenal. It's a and
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: they spent a fortune on it because they have all
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: the rare clips and recordings and film clips tv clips.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: You got to you gotta pay to use all these clips,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: and they spend a lot of money. But it's on
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Fox Nation. Fox Nation. You have to have a subscription,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: but they're pretty cheap, the subscriptions to Fox Nation. And
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: you'll love it. They got a lot of great programs.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: But sign up for Fox Nation and then search for
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Sinatra Echoes of an Icon, Sinatra just type in Sinatra
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: and this documentary will come out. I'm in it. I'm
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: all through it, and there a lot of people are
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: in it. But when it first was released, I just
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: wanted to watch it for a few minutes because I
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: just want to see what I look like in it.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, to be honest, I could say they spent
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of money lighting the thing, in the set
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: and the whole thing. They just want to see how
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: it looked. So I was just gonna watch for five
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: minutes just to see if I look bad. I look
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: good at it. Just watch for five minutes. I ended
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: up watching the whole two hours. I couldn't stop. It
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: just moves, it's it's got all kinds of rare footage,
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff. You'll love it. So it's on
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Fox Nation now. The other thing is there's too many
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: of these documentaries, the Chevy Chase documentary. Everybody's talking about
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: the Chevy Chase doc I like Chevy Chase, But do
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: you really want to spend two hours studying this guy's life.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'd like to watch a movie of his
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: or something like that, or an old Saturday Night live clip,
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: But do you really need to know everything about this guy,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: and there's nothing that interesting. The part everybody's talking about
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: is how well, how badd he could be. He yelled
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: at the director. She was a woman, and he said
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: something about you're not quite He yelled at her. I
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: hate to break it to you. This goes on all
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: the time in movies, in broadcasting, in television. All of
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: your favorite stars, even the nicest people in the world,
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: who are really nice people to work with, every so
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: often something goes wrong and they start yelling at somebody.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Is he in the control room? You've been doing this
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: a long time. You've had a host yell at you, right,
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: it happens. Now there's some guys that aren't so nice,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: you know, Like I'm we was just cursing and screaming
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: and yelling every break, every time there was a commercial.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: You'd yell at everybody. I mean, just always yelling. Bob
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Grant could be a pain in the neck to be around.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think I'm editing myself. But even the
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: really nice guys, the nicest people in broadcasting, they're the
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: finest people you could ever know. They're nice to everybody,
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: they're generous, warm. Once in a while, something goes wrong
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: on a show and they'll start yelling at somebody. It
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: happens in everybody, everybody. It happens in every TV studio,
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: in the nicest house, but something goes wrong sometimes you know,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: you're sitting there in the green room and all of
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: a sudden you hear some yelling something when somebody screwed
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: up something. Those that's yelling. It goes out all the time.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: So but they make it. They make things up in
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: these documentaries that aren't that important. They build them up
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: in some of them because if they're not that interesting,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: you're gonna make some stuff like this to make it
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: more interesting. Hey, Jimmy Kimmel is back. But not really,
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: not really. They know the show stinks, they know nobody's
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: watching it. The network wants to get rid of them.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: They just renewed it for one year, which is the
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: biggest insult in the world. Standard renewal standard new contract
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: is five years. You get a five year contract. Now,
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: there's some people, some hosts that don't like five year
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: contracts because it favors the company. They lock in for
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: five years at a certain price. So some people like
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: three year contracts that we can keep getting more raises,
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: But there's no such thing as a If you get
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: a one year extension means they have no faith in
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: you at all, and it most likely means they're going
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: to get rid of you, because if it's only a
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: one year extension, they don't mind paying that off. So
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: that was the biggest insult to Kimmel. And now that
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: he's back, they're cutting back on stuff like you know
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: they have a musical act every night, Well they're now
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: cutting that down to like one night a week because
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: it's expensive to do the musical act. It costs more
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: money production wise and everything. And prediction they'll cut back
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: on live shows. They've already done that with the Tonight
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Show Colbert. You know, they're no longer five nights a week.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: They do like four shows a week and run a
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: rerun on the fifth night. So expect that with kim Well,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: expect these shows to go to three nights a week
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: and two reruns per week. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: is the number. Hey, Wegman's getting a lot of flak.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: They've announced it in New York. They're collecting biometric data.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: You know, when you walk in the store, they're scanning
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: your face, they're scanning your eyeballs. I guess a lot
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: of stories do this, but for some reason in New York,
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Wegmans is announced they're saving this data and a lot
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: of people aren't going to shop there right now. They say,
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not shopping there anymore because I don't know, Say,
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: at Wegmans they had a picture of your face and
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: your eyeballs. How damaging is this? What would you even
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: be worried about? The people of it. I'm never going
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: in there again. Are the same people that put their
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: face in their eyeballs up on Instagram ten times a day.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: But nobody can figure out why they're doing it. They
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: said it's a security thing to identify any possible threats
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: to I don't even know what that means. And that
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: would apply to every business and every store in New York.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: But they don't need to do it. They haven't reversed
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: it yet. They're getting a lot of flack. I guess
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: they're waiting to see how much of a drop in
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: traffic they get as a result. And why just Manhattan,
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: it's a strange thing, but I think deep down you're
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: going to turn out they're collecting this data because it's
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: going to be valuable commercially somewhere in the future. You know,
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: right now, every business been collecting your email, your cell
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: phone number. That way they can bobarde you with ADS
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: or something. This facial recognition stuff. Somewhere in the future,
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: it's going to be used for Mark getting spam or
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is another.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Get instant access to Mark by setting a pre set
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: in the iHeartRadio app for his live show and his podcast.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simone show on w o R.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to George in Boston. George,
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: Mayn Man Danny is the biggest plumlord.
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: The city of New York is.
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: The biggest real estate holder. Oh, I'm sorry about that,
• 54:35
  Speaker 8: but may and Man Danny is the biggest thumblood.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: You've already heard thatmlood. But again, why the echo are
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: you in a tunnel or something?
• 54:44
  Speaker 13: Nor why are you making chokes?
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to be I'm not begging jokes. You sound
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: like those in the truck of a call or something.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: So anyway, let's go to uh Wagner in Philadelphia. Wagner,
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: how you.
• 54:58
  Speaker 13: Doing, Good morning, Happy New Year.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: What we're gonna do with this tomorrow.
• 55:05
  Speaker 13: Man, this new mayor for New York.
• 55:10
  Speaker 12: He say, oh, I'm not called the preceding our president
• 55:17
  Speaker 12: to complain about it.
• 55:18
  Speaker 13: He's not agoing. Oh what he'd be doing?
• 55:23
  Speaker 8: This this denial christ liberal unbelievable.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, you gotta people what you're saying. But
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: I give mom Donny credit. It's a smart move to
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: call the president. Not that the president's listening are cares,
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: but he'll play along. Uh. And the reason that Mom
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Donnie will do that makes him look more important. You know,
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: he's twelve years old, just got elected mayor. He's never
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: had a job. You know, he's a little tiny character
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: right now. But I'm calling the president to consult with
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: him on the maderial makes him sound important. Uh. First term,
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: the president had a special Presidential Secret Service phone that
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: he used, but this time around he still got that.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: But he has his own private personal cell phone and
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: he's been given the number out to everybody, every journalist,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: everybody at CNN, everybody at the New York Tate. He
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: just gives the cell number to everybody. And there's a
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: lot of people that text him, and you know you'll
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: see them on CNN. They're a White House reporter, but
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: they're not that important. And now you're right after Maduro Rate.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: They called him and talked to him, so it makes
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: them feel important, and I think he kind of enjoys
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: it thanks hearing from all these people all the time.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: So we mo'm Donnie. He gives it to everybody. When
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: you're in the Oval office. You have my cell number. Here,
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: take my number, call me whatever you want. It makes
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: them feel good to call. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 56:43
  Speaker 13: Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, Mark. During your first how
• 56:46
  Speaker 13: I heard a caller, uh speak about the new fire Commissioner. Well,
• 56:52
  Speaker 13: it seems to me like the mayor hired Newman's body
• 56:55
  Speaker 13: double from the Seinfeldt Show as the new fire COMMISSI
• 57:00
  Speaker 13: you see this runway model the EyeT.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she does look like it's a she, right, you.
• 57:06
  Speaker 13: Tell me, man? I mean, well, it seems like with
• 57:13
  Speaker 13: these socialists that they have to pick the most iconic,
• 57:18
  Speaker 13: iconoclastic figures they could find, uh to represent to show
• 57:24
  Speaker 13: that they're really down for the struggle. Mark speaking about
• 57:28
  Speaker 13: the flawless execution of the Maduro extraction. Uh, there is
• 57:34
  Speaker 13: some great videos on YouTube. I don't mean people with
• 57:38
  Speaker 13: their cell phones out of their balconies, uh taking shots
• 57:43
  Speaker 13: of when they were, you know, attacking the compound. Somebody
• 57:47
  Speaker 13: actually reversed engineered all of the uh, the Navy and
• 57:53
  Speaker 13: the special forces moved and there's a great video on it.
• 57:57
  Speaker 13: They showed all the reasons why they use specific jets
• 58:02
  Speaker 13: to do certain parts of the operation. The helicopter formation
• 58:07
  Speaker 13: is perfect circle.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: That sounds interesting, but it's probably only sixty percent accurate
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: because it's whoever it was was guessing it a lot
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: of stuff.
• 58:14
  Speaker 13: Well, yeah, perhaps that's right, but it was really interesting.
• 58:18
  Speaker 13: They did show you the mock building that they made
• 58:21
  Speaker 13: of the palace where Maduro was living, and very good,
• 58:28
  Speaker 13: I mean the.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: Trade, flawless military execution, and obviously the CIA doing better
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: work than ever getting an intel.
• 58:37
  Speaker 8: Mack.
• 58:37
  Speaker 13: I can't wait until they make the movie about this this.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, that won't be a movie. It's
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: a Republican president. If it was a democratic movie, it'd
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: be ten TV specials.
• 58:49
  Speaker 13: I say that they could make you know Baron Trump.
• 58:53
  Speaker 13: They could use that age aging technology, the aging software
• 58:58
  Speaker 13: to make them look old. They could make Bernie Sanders,
• 59:01
  Speaker 13: they could dye his hair, make them go a stash
• 59:04
  Speaker 13: to make you.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that stuff doesn't work. Go look at the irishman
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: with de Niro. They've used the digital technology. Instead of eighty,
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: he looked like seventy two. It didn't make that much difference.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: But Vincent, great call, Thanks for calling. Hey. When we
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: come back, Greg Jarrett, the greatest legal expert of all,
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: will be with us next. What's going to happen to Maduro?
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: And what is this? It's against international law? We'll ask
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: the legal expert in a moment. On seven to ten
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: wor always.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: This step ahead of the news. Here's more marks imone
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: on seven to ten wor Well.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: Let's turn down to the greatest legal analyst of all,
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Greg Jarrett. You can read his latest column foxnews dot Com.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: Also Greg Jarrett's books highly recommended Trial of the Century
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: in the Riveting legal Trial book You'll ever read, and
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: his latest book, The Constitution and Other Patriotic Documents, very
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: important book you should have in your library. Highly recommended,
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: Greg Jarrett.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 11: How you doing, Mark, I'm fine, Thanks for having me on.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: No, let's get to this Maduro stuff. It violates international law,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: it's illegal, it's against the Constitution. Is it any of
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: those things?
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 11: No, it's none of those things. And the people who
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 11: are saying it are either profoundly stupid or they know
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 11: it and they're lying. You know, every president since World
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 11: War Two has ordered military action without congressional consent because
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 11: short of declaring war, presidents don't need prior approval from Congress.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 11: It's written in the Constitution, Article two, Section two grants
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 11: presidents is commander in chief inherent power two direct military
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 11: strikes unilaterally. And you know, I hear some people that
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 11: you violated the War Powers Act. Well read the War
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 11: Powers Act. It's not a prohibition. It is a reporting
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 11: requirema you know, notify Congress within forty eight hours of
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 11: taking military action, and the resolution itself admits that the
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 11: president has that right. The president also, as I point
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 11: out in my most recent column, has another authority. It's
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 11: called the take Care Clause. It's in the Constitution, Section two,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 11: section three. Actually the Constitution. Under that document, the president
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 11: is duty bound to faithfully execute all laws. And so
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 11: what does that mean. Well, effectuating the arrest of a
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 11: wanted fugitive is enforcing all laws, capturing that person, bringing
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 11: him to court to face justice, seeking a prosecution, and
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 11: punishment upon conviction, all of those things the president is
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 11: obligated to do. And look, if Joe Biden had done it,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 11: these same Trump critics would be cheering instead of denouncing
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 11: President Trump. They only condemned prompt Trump because it's Trump,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 11: and that's all they stand for, really, is just opposing
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 11: everything he does.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 13: If the guy.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 11: Cured cancer, they depose it for some invented reason.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: Now he's in federal court, federal charges, federal custody. If
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: it were local, if it were Alvin Bragg of with
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: local charges, he would be out already right with the
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: no cash, no base, Yeah.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 11: He probably would. Look take a look at the subsdiing indictment.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 11: It is one scary document. If you're the defendant, they
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 11: have the goods on him. The document trail alone that
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 11: they've accumulated is enough to convict. And then you've got
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 11: cooperating witnesses, some of whom have already pled guilty as
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 11: Maduro's co conspirators in US courts, and you have high
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 11: the incriminating tape recordings. You put all of that together
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 11: and it spells conviction. And you know, you have to
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 11: understand the Department of Justice spent the better part of
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 11: a decade meticulously gathering the evidence against Maduro and his
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 11: wife and all of his cronies. They looted the Venezuelan government.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 11: They did a lot of it through drug trafficking, murders,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 11: torture of women and children, a whole host of despicable
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 11: crimes that falls under the category of narco terrorism. So
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 11: you know, I'm always reluctant to say it's a slam
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 11: dunk case. But you know, if I were you Maduro's
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 11: defense attorney, I'd say, what do you got to help
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 11: the United States so that we can play Let's make
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 11: a deal.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Huh. So he does have attorneys now that are working
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: on this. Is that their only hope make a deal.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: There's no actual defense loud Look.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 11: I mean they're going to pull the usual stuff that
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 11: norie get pulled. Is you know, he has a very
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 11: good lawyer, Barry Pollock, and you know he'll do what
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 11: Noriega's lawyers to challenge the capture and arrest and the
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 11: status of Maduro, claiming a violation of due process. Oh,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 11: it's a violation of international law, whatever that means. And
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 11: you know, they'll argue the US has no jurisdiction to
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 11: prosecute him. They'll assert, you know, head of state immunity
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 11: can't do it. Well, Norie tried to pull that nonsense,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 11: and it didn't work. It failed miserably. He was convicted,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 11: mostly because the Supreme Court has said, we don't care
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 11: who you are or how you got here into this courtroom.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 11: You know, we treat poppers and potentates alike.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: Well, that's not good for him. Hey, if you watch
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: fake news, all you keep here at a violation of
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: international law, international law. Where exactly does this international law
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: come from.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 11: Well, it's pretty much imaginary. One of the things they
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 11: point to, as you know I noted in my column
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 11: is that, well, there is this United Nations Charter Section two.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 11: Parenthesis for that says, oh, you can't violate another country's sovereignty.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 11: But read on and you see there are exceptions to it.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 11: One of them's you know, active defense on behalf of
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 11: another nation. And you know, here when you know you're
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 11: flooding metric tons of cocaine in the United States, poisonous drugs.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 11: You know, the US has a right to defend itself.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 11: And you know, this guy Maduro was the head of
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 11: a narco terrorism cartel that was doing all this. So
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 11: you know, look, as I said on the air over
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 11: the weekend, the United Nations is a feckless organization and
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 11: the UN charter has only one valid use to line
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 11: the bottom of a bird cage.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The UN is that organization over there on First
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: Avenue and forty fifth. They have no actual authority.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 11: Over anything, do they No, they have no enforcement authority.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 11: No serious person ever pays attention to anything they do.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 11: And besides, the United States has veto power and the
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 11: UN Security Council, and so you know, whatever they tried
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 11: to do would get vetoed. You know, I've never quite
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 11: understood how the UN has lasted as long as it has.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 11: You know, maybe the intention was good, as it was
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 11: with the League of Nations that never got off the ground,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 11: but in practice it's utterly worthless.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make sure you go read Greg Jared's column. It's
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: up at foxnews dot com. Hey. You point out in
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: the column Joe Biden had offered a twenty five million
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: dollar reward for Maduro's arrest. Who was he thinking would
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: arrest him?
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah?
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, you know, and when Biden was running
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 11: in twenty twenty, he excoriated Trump for doing nothing about Maduro.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 11: And then, of course Biden took office and did nothing
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 11: about Maduro except put a bounty on his head. Chuck
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 11: Schumer stood on the floor of the United States Senate
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 11: when Trump was in office the first time around and
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 11: railed against him for not getting rid of Maduro. So,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 11: you know, in the second term, Trump does exactly what
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 11: Schumer demanded, and Schumer, then, you know, de announces Trump
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 11: for doing what Schumer insisted that Trump should do. I mean,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 11: these people are knuckleheads, and they're you know, the ultimate
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 11: in hypocrites.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Hey, is somebody entitled this twenty five million dollar award?
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: Can Pete Hexith put in the claim for it or
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump?
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 5: No?
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 11: I think when the military acts and law enforcement acts,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 11: it doesn't really apply. But you know, I don't know
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 11: who knows. Trump may say, hey, I get the reward
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 11: and we're going to distribute it to members of the military. Well,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 11: I don't object to that verse. Guys are the best
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 11: in the world. You know, the Delta Force and all
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 11: of the other American forces that carried out this incredible
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 11: raid without injury to any of our military personnel. Truly remarkable.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: Well, you read the column. It's a great column. It's
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: up at foxnews dot com. Just look for Greg Jarrett's
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: column and all of his columns there. Make sure you
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: get his books, the latest book, The Constitution and Other
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: Patriotic Documents. It's a book you should have in your library. Definitely,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: you can go get at it.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 11: Well, I'm going to send it to Chuck SCHUMERI might
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 11: come as apparently when he went to law school he
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 11: skipped constitutional law.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, it's a good idea. Somebody buy it
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: and send it to Chuck Schumer. It would be a
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: good idea. Greg Jarrett, the best legal analyst of all, Thanks.

  Speaker 2: you'll love it. I knew the real Marty Supreme. We'll
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: talk about it tomorrow. Mark Kelly military demotion, reducing his
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: rank in his retirement vent But the guy is sleazy.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: Senator Mark Kelly's the guy trying to stir up trouble
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: in the military. And it's not unusual to do that
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: to somebody. Democrats did it to Ronnie Jackson all because
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: he was a Trump supporter. They demoted him in retirement
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: it happens, but we'll get to that tomorrow and a
