• 0:20
  Speaker 2: there is to know right now. We'll get to Hunter Biden.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: We'll get to affordability and a whole lot more. Lots
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: to talk about today, A freezing cold. This is the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: first well we had one last week, but this is
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: another one of those winter days today. So I come
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: into our beautiful, magnificent iHeart headquarters, which is floor after
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: floor after floor after floor of studio's office. But on
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: our sixth floor here, the first thing I see is
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: that Christmas tree. Why is there a Christmas tree? It's
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: not even Thanksgiving yet. It's not just here. They're all
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: over the place, these Christmas trees. It's starting earlier and
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: earlier and earlier, and it's gotta stop. It's got to stop.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I told you last week about that condominium place in
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Florida where they made residents take down the Christmas decorations,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: told them they're not allowed to put them up till
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: after Thanksgiving. Their rule is one holiday at a time,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and it makes sense. So President Trump, let me just
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: explain this Epstein stuff. This has been going on for
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: quite a while now. Donald Trump has nothing to do
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: with Epstein. There's no Epstein connection with Donald Trump. There's
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: nothing there. But he has been brilliantly playing the Democrats,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: letting them build it up and build it up. If
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: you're watching the Sunday shows, it was all about Trump Epstein,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Trump Epstein. He's letting this build and build and build
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and build. So it'll end up when they're all released,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: all these files, it'll be another example of Democrats totally
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: misleading the public, totally conning them about something. Now, the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Epstein situation is pretty simple. He made himself a lot
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: of money, showed up in Florida Palm Beach, and being
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a zillionaire, suddenly started hanging out at mar A Lago
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and there he was all over mar Alago. This is
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: back in the good old and they were talking twenty
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: something years ago, maybe twenty five years ago. And anytime
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: anybody with a lot of money starts spending it at
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: mar A Lago and throwing parties there or back when
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Trump owned the plaza, if somebody spent a fortune throwing
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: an incredible gallot in the ballroom, Trump would always show up.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: And you'll notice even now if you follow all this
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: stuff on Instagram, when there's a big, big wedding or
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: an event at Mar A Lago where they rent the ballroom,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Trump will show up. He'll show up and wander through
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the crowd tail ever. So that's how he met Epstein,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: That's how I got to know him. Epstein had lots
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: of women and fun and celebrities, so Trump started hanging
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: out with him whenever he was at Mar A Lago
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: or there'd be a party in there. It was just
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: at parties, nothing else. A couple of times Epstein came
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: up to Trump's office showing off to some women that
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: he could bring him up there. Not underage, not under age,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: perfectly appropriate, age appropriate women. And that was the relationship. Well,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: then a couple of things happened at mar A Lago.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Epstein started hiring some people away from mar Alago mar
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: A Lago's staff members, so Trump told him to cut
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: it out, and he didn't. Also, at one point, Epstein
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: went after I think she was fifteen, a girl that
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: worked in the locker room. It was actually the daughter
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: of a member. It got back to Trump, and Trump
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: immediately banned Epstein from mar Alago. This is twenty something
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: years ago. Banned him. It's actually twenty four, twenty one
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: years ago. Banned him from mar Alago forever, never spoke
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to him again, cut off all ties with the guy. Now,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: as far as these young young girls, that was Epstein's preference,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that's what Epstein liked, these young young girls. So it
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: was him. There's rumor that Prince Andrew also liked that
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and got involved. But all these people hanging around with Epstein,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: it wasn't about young girls for them. They were not pedophiles.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: That was Epstein. But if you went to and I
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: was at a few Epstein things, if you went to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Epstein's parties, there were women all over the place, but
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: all ages, all ages, not young girls. He had a
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: lot of his young girls working for him as Massuse's
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and if you go to the party, they'd be checking
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the coats and that kind of stuff. But Trump has
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: no worries at all about Epstein. It's going to be
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: nothing in those files that's going to bother Trump. And
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: he knows that so that's why he's been stringing Democrats along.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: He's now last night called for Republican release all the files,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and at some point you'll see it. All, all the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: files will come out.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: The problem is, this is the only problem Trump might have.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: There might be some big, big donors of his, the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: friends of his, that are in the files, but if
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: it's in the files, it's not going to be young girls.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It's going to be them at these parties, maybe cheating
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: on their wife, that sort of stuff. That's like a
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Bill Gates kind of situation. One has already come out.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Larry Summers, Treasury Secretary to Bill Clinton, President of Harvard,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: very prestigious guy, a very married guy. But he was
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: carrying on with women, not young girls, older women. And
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the emails have already emerged from the Epstein estate. They
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: found the emails where Larry Summers is and I don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: know why you would put this in writing, but these
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: guys put it in writing. He's emailing back and forth
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: about this woman that woman, and she won't see him anymore,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and they're talking about they're talking about his dating life,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: and he's turning to Epstein for advice on how to
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: get this woman back. This is a married guy, So
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff will come out. That's the worst
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: of it. But nobody Trump's has no Epstein problem at all.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Once it's all released, you'll see that one of the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: people at Epstein hired away from Marlago was this infamous woman,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Virginia Giuffrey, who worked at mar A Lago in the Spa.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: It was Gallaine Maxwell that recruited her way into Epstein world.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: She eventually killed. She committed suicide not that long ago.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: But she did a million interviews with law enforcement, US Attorney, FBI,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff, and she wrote a book
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and in all the interviews and in the books, she
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: made it clear nothing ever happened with Donald Trump. In fact,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: she said he was a very nice man and always
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: a total gentleman with her. And remember she had worked
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: for him too. So the US Attorney here in New York,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: good guy Jay Clayton, he's been told to oversee an
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: investigation and to look into Democrats because a lot of
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Democrats are going to have a problem. Now you know
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: who was really tangled up with Epstein or the banks.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Nothing to do with sex, but JP Morgan, Chase and
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: these other banks were really really close with Epstein, working
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: hard with him. The reason they did that Epstein had
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: billions of dollars that he was working with and he
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: had to put it somewhere, so they wanted it in
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: their bank because they can make a fortune having his
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: billions in their banks. So JP Morgan chasing. The other
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: banks were very nice to Epstein, and these are the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: same banks that d banked Donald Trump threw him out,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: refused to take his business. And if you're a major corporation,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: you can't exist without banks. You have to have banks
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: for everything. So that was just disgusting the way they
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: d banked. It wasn't just Trump, other conservative companies. So
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: they deserve everything they're getting with this Epstein stuff. Now,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: who else will have a problem? A lot of celebrities,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: George Stephanopolis will have a big problem, George Sloppadopolis, Katie Couric,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: These are some of the celebrities that were at Epstein's
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: house having dinner with them. You know, when you see
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the ABC Sunday Morning Show this week make a big
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: deal out of Epstein, they failed to mention George Stepanopolos
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: at Epstein's house having dinner with him. Now when asked
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: about it. Stephanopoulois gives you this ridiculous explanation. I didn't
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: know who he was. I had no idea who he was.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I had no idea who he was. I should have
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: done my due diligence. Is Stephanopoulos's quote, Well, the guy's
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: a news broadcaster, host of a news show, supposedly a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: journalist and a newsman. They didn't know Jeffrey Epstein was. Now,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: this is after Epstein was convicted of being a pedophile.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: This was trafficking the minors for prostitution. Epstein was already
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: convicted and had gone to prison for it. George Stephanoppos,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: But I had no idea he was. I should have
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: looked into it. Well, I knew who he was. You
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: probably knew who he was. You probably read about it,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the guy in Florida that got convicted. Of course, you
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: read about this guy's a professional newsman on a network,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: claiming you didn't know about it. There is this clip
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: running around the internet right now of Katie Couric. She's
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: on with what's the Bravo guy's name, Andy Andy Cohen.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: She's on the Bravo show, and good for Andy Cohney
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: said the hell were you doing at Jeffrey Epstein's house
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: having dinner with him? So she said, well, I didn't
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: know who he was. I probably shouldn't. Remember she was
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the anchor of the CBS Evening News, that's one of
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the top news jobs in the world. And she didn't
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: know who Jeffrey Epstein was. This is after he was
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: in prison, this is after he'd been convicted, after he
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: went to jail. I didn't know who he was. I
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: guess I should have invested. First of all, who goes
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: to anybody's house and you don't know who they are?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been to a house had had dinner
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: with somebody and when you're leaving, who is it?
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I have no idea who the guy is. I just say,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: you having dinner in his house? Yeah, I don't know
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: who he is. Even if somehow you were that stupid,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: that ignorant that you didn't know who he was after
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: spending the evening at his house, wouldn't you then have
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: some idea who he was? So Katie Kirk didn't. I
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: should have checked. Now she uses the excuse that Prince
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Andrew was going to be at the dinner and that
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Megan Markle and Prince Harry were going to become a big,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: big story, was a big Royal waves. She said, I
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: felt I should get to know Prince Andrew. He could
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: help me get the exclusive. It doesn't work that way.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: You just you don't need to go to somebody's house
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and you can start working the story without that. So
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of people like Stephanopoulos, Katie Kirk are going
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to have a big, big Epstein problem. You know, there's
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: a woman in Congress, Stacey Plasket, She's a Democrat. Now
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of files being released from the Epstein estate,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: and this Epstein would text like crazy with people. But
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: apparently this Democrat congresswoman is texting back and forth with Epstein.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: And it's during the hearings. You remember they had hearings
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: on Trump. Was it Michael Cohen or something? It was
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Michael Cohen. There were these hearings going on and they're
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: asking questions, you know, they take turns each congress person
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: on the committee. Well, they're about to come to the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Stacey Plasket and in the during the hearings, she's texting Epstein,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: who's watching it live on TV? What should I ask him?
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: You've been watching the testimony. What did they leave out?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: What should I? And Epstein is texting her questions to
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: ask and at one point the witness is talking and
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: he mentions Rona. So this dumb congresswoman texts Epstein is
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: what's Rona? Is that an acronym for something? And Epstein
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: text back, No, that's Rona, his assistant, his chief of staff,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and he said, Rona is the keeper of the secrets.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Dig into Rona. This is this congress woman during the hearings,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: contexting with Epstein. So these democrats were very, very very
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: close to Epstein. Rona, by the way, is Rona graft
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Who's the nicest woman, the most decent, honest. There was
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: nothing bad there, So I don't know what Epstein was
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: talking about. And the other thing, if you start reading
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: through the emails, Epstein had nothing to do with Trump
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: after two thousand and four, nothing, no connect for twenty years.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: He didn't know Trump at all, but a lot of
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: these people think he still did. So you see these
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: very very powerful, big people are texting and emailing Epstein
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: right up until the end during the first Trump term.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going to Washington to meet with the present. What
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: should I say or a meeting with this official in
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: the White House, and Epstein is texting back as if
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: he's connected to Trump, which he wasn't at that point,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: giving advice, well he likes this, he doesn't like this,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: or don't see Jared, make sure you see this person.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Epstein didn't know anything. He was just conning these people
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: like crazy. Now here's another important point to remember. The
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Biden administration had these Epstein files for four years. The
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Biden administration looked through, carefully inspected everything in the Epstein
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: files for four years. They couldn't find anything that would
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: hurt Trump. They were looking for it because they wanted
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: to hurt Trump. They wanted to arrest him, prosecute him,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: do whatever they could to stop him. They looked through
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: the files. They couldn't find anything in there that would
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: That's why you never heard about the Epstein files for
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: the whole four years of Biden. There was nothing in
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: there that hurt Trump. And this is the way this
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: all works. Look at these democrats yelling and screaming, the
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: demanding we must see the Epstein files. Well, how come
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: you didn't say word for four years? How come you
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: didn't want to see him? In twenty twenty four. Why
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: didn't want to see him in twenty twenty three? How
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: come in twenty twenty two you never asked to see him?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one, you never mentioned it. It's the same
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: thing with the media. You know, you hear about this
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: is the affordability crisis. Affordability crisis. Inflation under Biden hit
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: nine percent, It averaged five percent, but it hit nine percent.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: None of these people, the same Democrats, the same media,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: never mentioned affordability. It never came up for check for
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: four years, never mentioned it at nine percent. Now it's
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: two point five percent. That's all they can talk about,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: the affordability crisis. Two point five percent. Try. Trump was
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: about Epstein last night.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: They're using Jeffrey Epstein as a deflection from the tremendous
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: success that we're having as a party.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Actually, the Epstein's stuff, you could also call
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: it operation change the subject. That's what it's all about.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: It sounds good, it sounds but again Trump has been
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: setting them up and brilliantly. Hey, President Trump said he
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: will meet with Mom Donnie. Mom Donnie said he will
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: meet with Trump. Looks like the meeting will take place
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. We'll get into it in detail
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: a little later. Also, Mom Donnie has talked with Jessica
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Tish again. They spoke over the weekend. Hopefully she'll stay.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: The fire commissioners great guy, Robert Tucker, he has already
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: quit and left, but he's got a huge business he
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: can go back to, and I don't think he wants
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: anything to do with Mom Donnie. Jessica Tish will see
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: if she stays. Well, there's a lot of Mom Donnie stuff.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: We'll get into it a little later. Lots to talk
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: about and we'll take some next. Eight hundred three two

  Speaker 5: African county A you're gonna start, you know, to do
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: because if this man going to continue in this spot, what.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Are we talking about Trump? Of course, sir, oh well.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: But also remember also remember for a minute, please no,
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: I also remember at the same time, it would be
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: the end of the African economy since that's what they
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: do for a living is sell us uranium and without
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: that they'd go broke pretty fast. So let's go to
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: Bob and newer Shelle. Bob, how you doing. Wait a minute, Bobby,
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: are there? Nope, we lost them. Let's uh, we got them.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I know you're a big Blue Bloods fan.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: My wife's got me watching and I got a bit.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: It's a good show, and I understand that you have
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: to suspend reality to a certain degree for these kind
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: of shows. But what would you in your opinion, would
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: you say a more unrealistic one of the Reagans being
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: involved in the biggest case of the city every week,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: or Danny Reagan have nothing but smoking hot partners and
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: his wife not having a problem with it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Well, these are very good questions. I love Blue Bloods.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I still watch it and reruns. Every Wednesday is a
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: blue Blood marathon. I'd love Blue Bloods. It's the most
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: unrealistic cop show ever. First of all, Len carry You
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: plays Tom Selick's father. These two guys are the same age.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: There's like a one year age between these two guys.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Makes no sense at all. There's all kinds of technical
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: things like the police commissioner does not wear a uniform,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: which Tom Sellick does at times in the show. Also,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Danny Reagan every week is involved in a massive gunfire,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: massive shootout every week. I've asked three commissioners has there
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: ever been a cop that's in a shootout every week?
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: And they all said if there was, I'd pull him
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: off the street immediately. We'd never be able to do that. Also, well,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: we could go on and on. It's very unrealistic, but
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: despite that, it's a great show. You know, Like, if
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: you want to go back and watch NYPD Blue, NYPD
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Blue is probably the most realistic cop show. And I
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: started watching Boston Blue, the spin off with Danny Reagan.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I gotta admit it's pretty good. They it's it's very,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: very different from Blue Bloods. They've kept a couple of
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: factors there, a couple of little things, but it's very
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: different and it's a great show. Let's go to Mike
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and Florida.
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: Mike, how you doing, good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike, I
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: was laughing when you were talking about that Florida h
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: O Way that was putting up the that's crackdown on
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: the Christmas decorations. I live in one of these so
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: called active fifty five communities and it's either over just
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: over fifty five or active unless you consider majong a
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: contact sport. But they can't wait and put up those
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: stinking Christmas decorations. The irony is they're all asleep by
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: six o'clock that they don't even get to see the
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: lights lit up. And they're the most decrepit looking things
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: that they've been in the back of their garage. You
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: know that they lived in Michigan and they dragged down
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: here and I'm gonna put you know, and they're follow
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: liying like there's little kids around, and it's it's so
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: pathetic against Christmas. It's great, but it's the forced joy
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: is like ludicrous. You can't wait to put them up.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of pathetic things about Florida. The most
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: pathetic is when you people in Florida try to celebrate Christmas.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: It doesn't look right. Palm trees and Christmas don't go together.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: No, not at all.
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: It's eighty five degrees and if allow lie, yeah.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work all right, Mike, thanks for calling. You know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: it's better to live in one of these condo communities
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: or something like that, because, uh, you know, everything's taken
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: care of. You've got your own house, you got to
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: find your own plumber, you got to find your own
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: people to fix it. It's so much easier in a condo,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: one of those complexes, one of those communities. But then
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: you got the board. You know, it's always little old
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: ladies with nothing to do who go on this board
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: and then run around on patrol enforcing every little rule.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Dave in Chicago.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: Dave, how you doing, good morning, Mark, I'm joining very well,
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Mark.
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: I'm just beginning to read Love Johnny Carson by Mark Malcolm.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's the definitive book on Johnny Carson. It's the
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: greatest book ever in Johnny Carson just came out. We'll
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: have the author on in the next hour. Go ahead,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: thank you.
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: I noticed you've been quoted numerous times in the book.
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: I flipped through it quickly. But I have a question,
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: if I may. It says you had said that the
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: Midwest is very important to the Tonight Show and that's
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: what Johnny believes. Could you please explain? And lastly, Mark,
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: my second question is did Johnny's guest hosts follow that policy?
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: A couple of things about the Midwest. One a great analyst,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: show business analyst showed that all the great talk show
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: hosts were from the Midwest, Johnny Carson, David Letterman, all
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: these sorts. You could go down the whole list. But
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: the guests, we're all from New York. All the great
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: comedians are from Brooklyn or you know, New Jersey, or
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: they were all local New York. But in their own
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: city they couldn't be the host. It was always the Midwesterner.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: They had to be the host of the show. And
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Johnny Carson, one of the valuable lessons he taught people,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: he told me about this. He always taught this lesson
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: the battle is won in the Central time zone. It's
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: a very important rule. Don't try to appeal to like
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: elite New York or La or Beverly Hills. Always try
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: to appeal to the middle. And hey, we don't have
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: much time, but let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: I'm doing good, mak good morning matter Mark. I hope
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: us Jessicatish does not take the job with Zora Mundani
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: finish out her term. She's doing a great job. She
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: does have a business to go back to. And let
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: Zora Mandani's diz that were on his political posts. He
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: just had his first name, zorn. Well, let the letter
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: z become the new scholet letter. Let him hang by
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: his own pitad. And another thing, Kathy Hkle is thinking
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: about flip flopping on the corporate taxes so Mandamie could
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: have his free daycare. Don't do it, stupid, Hoco. You
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: could attract Jersey business to New York. They're paying eleven
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: point nine, we're charging seven point nine. If she had
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: any sense of any brains in her head, she could
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: use that as a selling point to draw the corporate
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: headquary brains.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: It's backbones. She has no backbone. She's afraid of getting primary.
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: Well, that's what Michael Goodwin's article talked about. She doesn't
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: have any backbone. But please, mistache, do not take the job.
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: Let it go to Let let disease for Zoran become
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: the new Scarlet letter. You like Trump business, when you plan,
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: you come back and then you could wipe the floor
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: with him.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: All right, Vincent, great call, Hey, when we come back.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodman's not here this week, but we'll talk to
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the brilliant calumnist Liz Peak. We'll talk about Mom Donnie
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and hoakl and all that next on seven to ten WR.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: He's more Mark, He's so Mark Simone show on SEVENTENR.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Well Liz Peak brilliant column list, you know, besides her column,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: besides all the TV. You can also check out her websites.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: One of the best news sites with all sorts of
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: great stories every day. Lizpeak dot com, lizpeak dot com.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Check it out, Liz Peak.
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: How you doing, good morning, I'm terrific. Thank you. How
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: about you?
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I'm good. Let's see President Trump says he will meet
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: with Mom Donnie. Mom Donnie says he'll go to Washington
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: meet with him. How do you think that would go.
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: Look, I think that's actually a good idea on both
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: of their parts.
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: To have New York City basically.
• 23:54
  Speaker 11: Be orphaned or estranged from the mothership, the federal mothership doesn't.
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: Really help anybody, right.
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: I can't imagine that mom, Donnie and Donald Trump will
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: have much in common or much common ground, let's put
• 24:08
  Speaker 11: it that way.
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: But I think it's a good idea.
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: And look, it's one of the first things that this
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: radical thirty four year old anti Semite has said. That
• 24:21
  Speaker 11: makes them sound like a slightly normal person. So that's
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: very welcome.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, they do have something in common. They're both
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: were these outsiders who came in and just crushed these
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: political dynasties and beat them. Do you think you know
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Trump could be good one on one sometimes?
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: Yes he can, Yes he can.
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: But Mark, yes, I've seen this idea before that they
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: have in common that they're outsiders.
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: Let's remember that Donald.
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: Trump had decades of actual work experience, actually built things,
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: created wealth, and in the process, let's face that, worked
• 24:57
  Speaker 11: with a lot of city governments and municips and state
• 25:01
  Speaker 11: governments in trying to get various projects underway, get them completed,
• 25:06
  Speaker 11: et cetera. Mam Donnie has zero experience of any value whatsoever.
• 25:11
  Speaker 11: All he has is a big smile and you know,
• 25:15
  Speaker 11: a resume as a community activist.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: I don't put.
• 25:18
  Speaker 10: Them in the same boat at all.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, no, it sounds perfect. You know, there's
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of other mom Donni's out there getting ready
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: to go. And there's a couple of other cities where
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: they got a Mom Donnie type, somebody with no work experience,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: lives in their parents' basement running and Bill Mahra so
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: a Friday night, is warning the Democrats stop with this stuff.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: But where are the elder Democrats, the party elders, where
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: are they on this?
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: It's it's astounding, isn't it. You know.
• 25:46
  Speaker 11: We had Julian Epstein on the Democrats strategists this morning
• 25:51
  Speaker 11: on Mornings with Maria and as he said, Trump occupies
• 25:55
  Speaker 11: the middle. Now that's what that's what's making Democrats crazy.
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: That is why they have gone so far to the left.
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: And I've said this for months.
• 26:03
  Speaker 12: I mean, if Trump is in the middle on.
• 26:07
  Speaker 11: Taxes, regulation, energy policy, immigration, gender issues, et.
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: Cetera, where does that leave the Democrats?
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: It either leaves them basically working with Trump, which they
• 26:19
  Speaker 11: refuse to do because they've conjured up such hatred of
• 26:23
  Speaker 11: this president that they cannot be seen as.
• 26:26
  Speaker 10: Collaborators, if you will, Or.
• 26:28
  Speaker 11: It drives some extreme left policies, which again, and that's
• 26:34
  Speaker 11: what I've stein said too. It may work in New York,
• 26:37
  Speaker 11: it may work in Seattle or San Francisco, They're not
• 26:41
  Speaker 11: going to work in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa, these states where Frankly,
• 26:46
  Speaker 11: house seats are up for grabs in purple districts. I mean,
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: are they really in those parts of the country, Are
• 26:53
  Speaker 11: they going to want to elect a socialist?
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: I don't think so.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Even in Kathy Hokel, she'said, you'd assume she's the
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: middle of the road type, and she's the governor that's
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: bigger than the mayor. How does she get so intimidated
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: by this Ma'm donnie that she seems to want to
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: go along with his nonsense.
• 27:12
  Speaker 10: It's it's just it's not just Kathy Hokeel.
• 27:15
  Speaker 11: It's every New York Democrat right now is being primaried
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: by someone on the left, and that includes Kathy Hochele,
• 27:23
  Speaker 11: her lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado, who no one's ever heard of.
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: May end up giving her a real fight because Mam
• 27:32
  Speaker 11: Donnie likes him. They've you know, they've been campaigning together,
• 27:36
  Speaker 11: and he's far left, like Mam Donnie. Kathy Hochel is
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: in a terrible position because idiotically she gave von Donnie
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: her endorsement, so she basically alienated all moderate Democrats in
• 27:48
  Speaker 11: her party. And now if she basically says, well, I
• 27:52
  Speaker 11: endorsed him, but I'm not going to really go along
• 27:55
  Speaker 11: with any of.
• 27:55
  Speaker 12: His program, what does that make her out to be?
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: What makes her out to.
• 27:59
  Speaker 11: Be a completely insincere political animal, which is exactly what
• 28:04
  Speaker 11: she is, So she will blow with the wind.
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: She is a terrible governor, and.
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: Frankly, I think Eliephonic.
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: Has a very good chance of beating her if she's
• 28:14
  Speaker 11: the candidate.
• 28:16
  Speaker 12: I'm not sure she will be the candidate, but we'll see.
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: I mean, she doesn't.
• 28:21
  Speaker 11: Have a backbone mark and right now you need some
• 28:24
  Speaker 11: senior Democrats with backbones who are moderates, who can call
• 28:28
  Speaker 11: out a socialist for being bad for the.
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: Country, frankly, like Bill Maher's doing.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: I mean, who would have funk it.
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: He's the guy that's saying to a pretty big audience,
• 28:38
  Speaker 11: socialism doesn't work.
• 28:39
  Speaker 13: This is what he just said over the.
• 28:40
  Speaker 11: Weekend, I guess or Friday. Socialism doesn't work. It has
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: failed every place that's been tried. Look at Venezuela, formerly
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: one of the richest countries on Earth, now one of
• 28:51
  Speaker 11: the poorest in South America. You know, just common sense, folks,
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: and history things that apparently are not in great support
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: on the left.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Right. Now, Hey, Liz Pick, if you're watching the Sunday shows,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: oh you hear about is this affordability crisis? What an
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: affordability crisis? How come during Biden when inflation was nine percent,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: never heard a word about this affordability crisis? Why? Now?
• 29:15
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's rich, isn't it.
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: I think Democrats fastened on this only after Mom Donnie
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: did so kudos to him for giving them sort of
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: a lifeline here. And yeah, things are expensive, mainly because
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: they went up eighty seven percent of the increase in
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: prices over the last five years came under Joe Biden.
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: And yet to your point, that was mostly ignored by
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: the mainstream media.
• 29:39
  Speaker 10: But it is pretty rich.
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: Because if you look at the top ten cities in
• 29:44
  Speaker 11: terms of cost of living. They are all run and
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: have been run for decades by Democrats. Democrats brand mark
• 29:52
  Speaker 11: is high cost, high taxes, high regulatory burdens, high union
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: labor costs.
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: You name it.
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: They are imposing enormously high costs on the general public
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: and have for a decade or more. And then you
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: add on to this layer of green energy, which.
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: Is also expensive, and you know, you have a.
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: Recipe for extremely inflated cost of living and to try
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: and tag that on Republicans where we are talking lower taxes,
• 30:23
  Speaker 11: lower regulation, fewer impediments to building, which by the way,
• 30:28
  Speaker 11: means better building costs because time.
• 30:30
  Speaker 10: Is money and construction.
• 30:32
  Speaker 11: You know, it is just astounding that they have been
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: able to hijack this issue.
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: We can't let that stand.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Very good point. Yeah, the affordability crisis seems to only
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: be taking place in blue cities and states. So yeah, well, yes,
• 30:47

• 32:25
  Speaker 2: on seven to ten.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Wo Let's get back to the Mark Simone Show on WOR.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Johnny Carson a little later this hour,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: we'll get to Bill Ackman, Mom, Donnie Well. He spoke
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: with Jessica Tish again over the weekend. I guess that's
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: a good sign that they're talking. Hopefully she stays. You
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: got right now. Eric Adams is away. He's been in Israel.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: He had this terrible shooting, a police officer shot in Brooklyn.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Little crisis occurring. And the good news is you got
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Randy Mastro as the first deputy mayor. He was Rudy
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Giuliani's first deputy mayor. If you like the way that
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Juliani administration ran, then you like Randy Mastro. And about
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: a year ago Eric Adams put him in charge of
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: city Hall. He's the first deputy mayor. So even with
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Adams away, Randy Mastro ran to the hospital to be
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: with the officer and handle the situation. Police Commissioner Jessica
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Tish is there. But when you got Mastro, things that are
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: under control. That's why things have been so good for
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: the past year. Now, what happens when Mamdani comes in, Well,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: that first deputy mayor will be Dean Fulahan, who comes
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: from the Deblasio administration. He was Deblasio's chief of staff,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: first deputy mayor in other words, first deputy mayor. So
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: it's going to look a lot like a Deblasio administration,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: which was bad, but we got through it. We got
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: through it. We got through eight years of the Blasio.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: We probably won't have to get through that much of
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. It probably is. I mean it's four years,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: but it might. It could just be one year. You
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: might get a governor next year who removes him if
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: things aren't going well. Now, Donald Trump said he'll meet
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: with Mom. Donnie said New York is important. He'll meet
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: with him, He'll talk to him. Mom. Donnie was asked
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: about meeting with Trump.
• 34:23
  Speaker 14: I look forward to having a conversation with President Trump
• 34:25
  Speaker 14: because it's one where I'll make clear if he wants
• 34:28
  Speaker 14: to work together to deliver on his campaign promises of
• 34:30
  Speaker 14: cheaper groceries or a lower cost of living. I am
• 34:33
  Speaker 14: there and I am ready to go. But if he
• 34:34
  Speaker 14: wants to talk about pursuing a campaign agenda that comes
• 34:37
  Speaker 14: to the expense of New Yorkers, that is something that
• 34:39
  Speaker 14: I will find.
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Well, so what will Trump do when he meets with him. Well,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: maybe he'll get through to him on a couple of things. First,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: the most important thing is crime. If you convince him,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: he's got to get a real police commissioner and he's
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: got to really take care of crime. Mom Donnie has
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: said he doesn't want to hire five thousand more cops.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: The problem is will he with with you know, withdraw
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: cops from a lot of situations not enforced certain things.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Then that's what t Blasio basically did. Things started to
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: get out of control. So that's a problem. But hopefully
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Trump gets through to him on that kind of stuff. Now, personally, well,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: they got some things in common. Mom Donnie was a
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: little trump like in his campaign and that he was
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: the total outsider up against these big political machines. And
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Trump's case, he was up against the Clinton machine. Mom
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Donnie was up against the Cuomo machine, and he defeated him.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: So they got that and they've got something in common. Now.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Trump is good at winning people over in private. People
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: are always surprised in private what a nice man he is,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: well how he relates to people. He's an incredibly good listener.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: It's beyond listening. He looks at you, like with radar
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: and sonar and knows exactly what you're saying. And he's
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: really good at handling people. But generally the people he
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: handles are like him. They're big, successful business people. They're
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: CEOs or bank presidents, or they're substantial people. That's where
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: he does best. But he's also been good with the weirdo,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: oddball kookie types, you know, Kim Jong un and others.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: He was able to win him over and calm him down.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Zelenski got off to a bad start, but eventually he
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: developed a good relationship. So we'll see what he can
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: do with Mom Donnie if he can get through to him.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie is talking to Tish. He did a Sunday
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: show where he was asked about keeping her. Will she
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: stay in that office?
• 36:42
  Speaker 14: I continue to be confident in my decision, but as
• 36:43
  Speaker 14: soon as there's a public announcement to be made, we'll
• 36:45
  Speaker 14: be sure.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Of does she say, I got to think about this.
• 36:49
  Speaker 14: More of the conversation, frankly, had to do with what
• 36:51
  Speaker 14: it looks like to deliver that public safe.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Now, he is a genius at double talk. You know,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Kamala would do this word salad and was pretty obvious
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: you know what she was talking about, just like a
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: babbling yo yo. But mom, donnie, the double talk is
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: very good.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: What did he just say? He was asked her, are
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: you going to keep her? Did he give a yes
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: or no? Will she stay in that office?
• 37:14
  Speaker 14: I continue to be confident in my decision.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: But okay, think of it.
• 37:17
  Speaker 15: It.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: I continue to be confident in my decision. What does
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: that mean I continue? You could just say, well, my
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: decision is to keep her, But he says I'm confident
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: in my decision. That adds an element to it. Then
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: he adds a third layer. I continue to be confident
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: in my decision. Now he just said three things without
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: saying anything. Will she stay in that office?
• 37:42
  Speaker 14: I continue to be confident in my decision. But as
• 37:44
  Speaker 14: soon as there's a public announcement to be made, we'll
• 37:46
  Speaker 14: be Does she.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Say, as soon as there's a public announcement to be made,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: we'll be sure to share it. Well, obviously, if it's
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: a public announcement, you'll share it. He was asked about Putin.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know what Putin has to do anything.
• 38:00
  Speaker 14: This is a city of international law, and being a
• 38:02
  Speaker 14: city of international law means looking to uphold international law,
• 38:05
  Speaker 14: and that means upholding the warrants from the International Criminal Court,
• 38:08
  Speaker 14: whether they're for Benjamin Netna or Vladimir Putin. I think
• 38:11
  Speaker 14: that that's critically important to showcase our values. And unlike
• 38:14
  Speaker 14: Donald Trump, I'm someone who looks to exist within the
• 38:16
  Speaker 14: confines of the laws that we have, so I will
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: look to exhaust every legal possibility, not to create my
• 38:21
  Speaker 14: own laws.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Now, I guess they're talking about arresting Putin if he
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: comes to town, or arresting thatt Ya who know, No,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: he's again, this is all double tok.
• 38:28
  Speaker 14: I believe this is a city of international law.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: First all, it's not. It's not a city of international law.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: We don't use international law here. We don't even recognize
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: it here in New York City. And if he ever
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: tries this, he'll be taken to court and lose immediately.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: It's a city of city, state and US law. We
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: don't acknowledge international law. By the way, that court that
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: put out the indictment against Nataneo is not recognized as
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: any sort of a legitimate court. It's the World Court
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: of whatever, but we don't even recognize it. So he's
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: absolutely wrong. He's threatened net Ya, who's supposed to come
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: here next year for that annual UN summit. He'll speak
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: at that as he always does, will ma'mdani attempt to
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: arrest him.
• 39:06
  Speaker 14: We are a global city, But I also think what
• 39:08
  Speaker 14: New Yorkers are looking for is consistency in the way
• 39:11
  Speaker 14: in which we talk about our values and follow through
• 39:12
  Speaker 14: on them. And that's why I think these warrants from
• 39:14
  Speaker 14: the International Criminal Court they are worth fully exploring every
• 39:17
  Speaker 14: legal possibility to actually follow through on.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Again, the World Criminal Court not recognized by anybody, it's
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: just a joke. If he does come to New York,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: President Trump has said he will have him escorted by
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: military federal troops FBI, he will protect him from being arrested.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Alan Dershwitz said he will stand by his side the
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: entire visit to New York and be his lawyer. What
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: about Trump setting in the National Guard and so.
• 39:40
  Speaker 14: We will have a unified front myself, the Governor of
• 39:42
  Speaker 14: the Attorney General, in showcasing that any attempts to deploy
• 39:46
  Speaker 14: the National Guard here in New York City, it's not
• 39:48
  Speaker 14: an attack on an individual politician like myself.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: It's an attack on the city.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Now, a unified front. Think of this army, so we will.
• 39:55
  Speaker 14: Have a unified front. Myself, the governor of the Attorney General.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: All right, now, myself, he's like a dumb kid, a
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: thirty four year old kid. The governor is a total
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: coward who runs and hides it the sign of any trouble.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: The Attorney General is a slee's ball who's under indictment,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: who may be in jail by the time this even
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: comes up. Let me see there a better arrest.
• 40:17
  Speaker 14: I've said time and again this is a city of
• 40:19
  Speaker 14: international same thing.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Well here he's on.
• 40:22
  Speaker 14: I've also said that if there are additional or alternate
• 40:24
  Speaker 14: revenue sources that would pay for the same things.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he wants to do these free buses. He has
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: no power to make the buses free. The Mayor of
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: New York has no control over the buses. It's all state.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: It's the MTA that runs them. And Hochel has said
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: you can't make the buses free, can't take be a
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: massive loss of revenue, so he'd have to come up
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: with some other revenue.
• 40:43
  Speaker 14: I've also said that if there are additional or alternate
• 40:46
  Speaker 14: revenue sources that would pay for the same things, we
• 40:48
  Speaker 14: would embrace them by all means, because the most important
• 40:50
  Speaker 14: thing is funding these things. And I think with the
• 40:53
  Speaker 14: governor there's a clear alignment of the importance of delivering
• 40:56
  Speaker 14: on universal childcare and on affordability agenda. How the work
• 41:00
  Speaker 14: begins even before we've been sworn in on lining out when, how,
• 41:04
  Speaker 14: but we always know it's for who, which is New Yorkers.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: See, if you're not saying anything, if you're not going
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: to answer, if you're going to double talk, the secret
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: is to do it fast. If you said, well, I
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: I don't you know, it sounds like you're not answering.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: But if you talk very quickly and you're not really answering,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: and you said, well, it's a matter of how, when
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: and high, and if you took it a mile a
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: minute your salad, you know what you're talking about, even
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: if you don't. But we'll see this is not going
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: to be easy getting through mom, Donnie. But but we
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: got through Deblasio. It was pretty much the same thing.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Deblasio thought socialism was better. Deblasio same thing with the affordability.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: But remember Deblasio's whole campaign was about two New York's.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: There's two New York's, one for the rich, one for so.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: The only difference is Diplasio didn't really hate all those
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: rich people. In fact, he did them favor after whatever
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: they needed, he did.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: It for him.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: So I don't know about my I don't know if
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: he's that bribeable or that persuadable. But we'll see. He's
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: got a team in place. He's got a bunch of
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: people that are on the transition team. He has one
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: guy and the transition team just got caught with the
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: most horrible antisemitic remarks. But listen, that's no shock. This
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: is what you expect from these Mom Donnie people. You
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: got a little of that from the Doblasio team as well. Now,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: another thing is this transition team of Mom Donnie's has
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: been raising money and apparently they're up to about a
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: million dollars already. They've raised about one million dollars now.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: They say it's a smaller donations average donation is seventy
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: five dollars. But that's a lot of money. What do
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: they do with the transition money? Who knows? They pay
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: for themselves. They just spend it on themselves. It's kind
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: of ridiculous, but good for mom, Donnie. Yeah, the donation came.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: The money came from seven thousand donors, averaging seventy three
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: dollars per donor. So the other people on he got
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Elena Leopold, she's the director. The whole transition team is female.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that means, but she's she's pretty bad.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: They got Lena Kahan, who's co chair of the transition team.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: She was a longtime Obama Biden person. She's known for
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: her tough anti trust stance, in other words, harassing businesses.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: She has a history of going after major companies and
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: trying to bust them up anti trust. So that's not good.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: The transition team says more than fifty thousand people five
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: zero fifty thousand candidates have applied to work for his administration.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: They have one of those resume portals. They've gotten fifty
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: thousand applications. They'll be going through fifty thousand. Well, that's
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: way they got like six weeks to get to get
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: through this, and we'll see Bill Maher on Friday night begging,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: begging Democrats to get away from this socialism, this nonsense.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Mars said, did you watch his victory speech. Well, if
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: you didn't see it, he said, don't worry, you're going
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: to see it in every attack ad for the next
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: two years. Republicans will be using that, Mam Donnie's speech
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: in every campaign ad against the Democrats. He said, Democratic
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: socialism is like a dating profile. Looks great until you
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: actually meet up in the real world. You know, Bernie Sanders,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: his single pair of healthcare sounded great, but it totally
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: collapsed when you try it. He did it in Vermont.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: It totally collapsed, Bernie AOC, Mam Donnie. They're not Democrats.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: They'll be the first to tell you they're democratic socialists.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: It's a different thing, and Democrats should stay the hell
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: away from it. Hunter Biden goes nuts on this podcast,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: ranting and raving and yelling and screaming, he's really met me.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Miranda Devine wrote the definitive book about the laptop and
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: about the Big Guy and the Biden corruptions. He really
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: went after her. He called her ugly, hideous looking a whore.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: This is Hunter Biden's worse. Obviously, she's a very fine
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: person and very attractive. You know, you can call people ugly,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: but when they're making a living on television, people looking
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: at close ups of their face, I don't think nobody's
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: going to buy that they're so ugly. But it's a
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: good it's a compliment to Miranda that he couldn't find
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: anything wrong in the book to point out, he couldn't
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: be specific about anything she got wrong, and he couldn't
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: find any legitimate attack on her, so he had to
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: just go nuts. He also said Democrats need to turn
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: the temperature up. Turn the temperature up. How could they
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: get any angrier than they already are? How could they
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: get any matter? How could they yell and scream about
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: Trump anymore? How could they have more Trump Arrangement syndrome
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: than they have now? So yeah, socialism, listen, it's failed
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: everywhere trying socialism. That there'd be like betting on the
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: New York Jets to win. It's not a good idea.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: It's never going to happen. Hey, Bill Ackman, the hedge
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: fund billionaire's a nice guy. Bill Ackman so he posted
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: something he's a little too busy on Twitter and all
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: that stuff. But he said, I hear from many young
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: men they find it difficult to meet young women in
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: a public setting. You know, younger younger people are so
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: busy on online meeting. You know, they go to online
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: dating apps and that's how they meet that. They have
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: no idea how you could meet somebody in person. So
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: he said, young men are always asking me they have
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: so much trouble meeting in person. I thought I would
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: share a few words that I used in my youth
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: to meet someone that I found compelling. So Ackman goes
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: on to say if he wanted to meet somebody, he
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: would walk up to her and say may I meet
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: you before engaging further in conversation. He says, I almost
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: never got to know it inevitably worked, He said, I
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: think the combination a proper grammar and politeness was the
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: key to its effectiveness. Give it a try, may I
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: meet you? Well? Well, the way this turned out, Ackman
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: has been ridiculed all weekend online. He's getting just tarred
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: and feathered online. In fact, all you see are may
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: I meet you memes, just ridiculing poor Bill Ackman. It's
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: actually he's got a good point there. May I meet you? Yeah,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: I kind of get it. I mean he's got a
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: point there. But politeness, most guys aren't very polite or gentlemanly.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Just be very polite, proper grammar that can be very
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know if i'd go and would you say
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: that to somebody? He says. It's not just dating. He
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: uses it in business situations.
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Let me go out in the hall and try this
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: to somebody. May I meet you?
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: It sounds pretty lame to me. It sounds very lame.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: But Akman getting trashed all over the place for it. Hey,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls in a minute. We'll get to
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Johnny Carson coming up, but we'll get to the phones next.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: the number. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: mister New York.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: He's on the case the Mark Simone show on seven tenor.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, we'll pick some calls. Eight hundred three to two
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number the Bill Ackman
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: pickup line, May I meet you?
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Jacqueline carl just said, if a guy walked up to
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: her and said that she'd think there was something wrong
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: with him and would run. So he's onto something with
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: the politeness and the good grammar. So maybe come up
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: with a variation of it. Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: May I just say hello? Still sounds lame. I don't
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: try something like that. Let's go to Paul in Beth Page. Paul,
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 48:57
  Speaker 16: I'm doing great, mar good morning. I want to ask
• 48:59
  Speaker 16: you about Mondani with this free transit, with the buses
• 49:03
  Speaker 16: and stuff. Let's just say hypothetically, he tells Tish that
• 49:08
  Speaker 16: don't enforce it, like you enforced spitting in the subway.
• 49:12
  Speaker 16: Then he's getting his wish, isn't he.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you could do that right now. Half the people
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: don't pay the subway or the buses. Half the people
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: jump the turnstile or just get out and don't pay.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: In drivers, they don't enforce that now, So the people
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: that want to ride for free or riding for free
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: free buses, it's just a gimmick. If you had a
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: major massive affordability crisis the bus prices, that's not going
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: to solve it, obviously. It's just a little gimmicky thing.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Cheryl in Monmouth County. Cheryl, how you
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: doing good?
• 49:41
  Speaker 17: Mark?

• 49:51
  Speaker 2: I'm from this town, I'm from Westport, I'm from oh Okay, Danvery.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: But New Jersey people they identify themselves by the county.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Why is that?
• 50:00
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Why don't they just say what town they're in?
• 50:05
  Speaker 13: You know, I did it because I didn't want too
• 50:06
  Speaker 13: much information out.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: We think we're following him.
• 50:11
  Speaker 13: No, no, no, no, no, whatever, it's not it's not
• 50:14
  Speaker 13: important anyway. This is what is important, and I feel
• 50:17
  Speaker 13: passionate about it. And I thought, gee, maybe I'm sitting
• 50:20
  Speaker 13: in my car and I'm listening to you and I'm saying.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Let me do it.
• 50:25
  Speaker 13: Okayya, this I'm Dami. We're going to talk about all
• 50:32
  Speaker 13: the things that he's saying that are so anti American.
• 50:35
  Speaker 13: And the thing is, I did a research and from
• 50:43
  Speaker 13: my education, I remember a lot and I attempted to
• 50:47
  Speaker 13: notify a leaf Stephonic and President Trump. Now I'm calling you,
• 50:55
  Speaker 13: and I know you're connected.
• 50:56
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 50:56
  Speaker 13: What's the point okay nineteen n I'm the.
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: M Goldman.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: We got to tell me the point. Tell me the point.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: What's the point.
• 51:07
  Speaker 13: The point is there's precedent for deporting him.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Well, there is a committee working on that. They're going
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: over his application.
• 51:16
  Speaker 13: Listen, Eisenhower nineteen We understand all this.
• 51:19
  Speaker 14: You can.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: You can deport all the people you want. Yeah. Eisenhower
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: ran Operation Wetback. They use buses, planes, trains. They deported
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: about a million people in a year. But they are
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: looking at mom, Donnie, if you lied in any way
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: on his citizenship application, his visa, anything, and there's a
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: couple of people looking at that looking to get him
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: revoke his citizenship. That's possible. They're also looking at foreign
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: campaign donations. They keep saying they're looking. So far, they've
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: come up with nothing and it's getting a little late,
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: but they're looking at that. If they can find he
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: accepted foreign money knowingly, they can still remove him. Believe
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: it or not. Let's go to Chipper and Stony Point. Chipper,
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: how you.
• 51:58
  Speaker 9: Doing, I Mark?
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: How are you good?
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: Every I just got I just like to know your
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: three secrets.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: Oh you can't pick three favorite that's impossibly recorded.
• 52:14
  Speaker 10: No, you can't.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: He couldn't do it. You know, when I used to
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: do the Sinatra Show, every great singer in the world
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: was a guest, and I asked everyone to pick their
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: favorite Sinatra song and never got the same answer twice.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: There's a million. His two best albums we Small Hours
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: of the Morning. I don't have favorites, but his two
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: best albums we Small Hours of the Morning and Only
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: the Lonely. Those are the two. If you got to
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: start somewhere, start with those two albums, right and h obviously,
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: I mean it's incredible body work. One hundred albums recorded,
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: fourteen hundred songs. That's not the most albums, by the way.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: The most elefant Cheryl one hundred and sixty six albums,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: but the all time record was Bing Crosby two hundred
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: albums over his career. Let's go to Richard in Bay Shore. Richard.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: How you doing.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: I'm doing well.
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: Mark.
• 53:06
  Speaker 15: You know, Kansas City had free buses, but now they've
• 53:08
  Speaker 15: gone back to charging fares, and the bus drivers were
• 53:13
  Speaker 15: all for it, because unless you're like thirty, some out
• 53:16
  Speaker 15: of them were assaulted when they had a fair.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: It almost never happened.
• 53:20
  Speaker 16: They had to hire.
• 53:21
  Speaker 15: Guards in Kansas City, and then they had to hire
• 53:23
  Speaker 15: armed guards, which costs them millions of dollars. So the
• 53:27
  Speaker 15: whole thing, you know, and obviously, yes, the homeless, the drunks,
• 53:31
  Speaker 15: the druggies, they used the bus as as their hangout.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we know it doesn't work. It never works. It's
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: never worked anywhere. That's free stuff and affordability crisis. There
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: is one. It seems to only be in the Blue
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: cities where they have this affordability crisis. But one of
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: the reasons it's so expensive to live in New York.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: It's like the greatest city in the world. It's really expensive.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: You know, if you go to Westchester, you know Scarsdale. Oh,
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: it's really expensive over but you ever see what it
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: looks like. It's beautiful Mount Vernon not so expensive, but
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: you see what it looks like. It doesn't look like Scarsdale.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: It's you have that everywhere. Go to that coffee shop
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: on the corner, not that expensive, but they walk a
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: block away and go into Tiffany's. Wooh, there's an affordability
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: crisis in there. But that's because it's good stuff. Hey,
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: when we come back, we'll get to Johnny Carson. The
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Ultimate Definitive Book on Johnny Carson is out. We'll talk

• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's a You've been on a book tour all
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: over the place promoting it, but you just went to
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Johnny Carson's hometown, right, tell us about that.
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: I was in Norfolk, Nebraska. They flew me out there.
• 55:43
  Speaker 17: I thought it was called Norfolk, They say Norfolk, But
• 55:46
  Speaker 17: I was in Johnny Carson's boyhood home.
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: The owner invited me over there and just to be
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: in that space and see where Johnny slept with his
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: brother Dick, and it was unbelievable. They had me sign
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: autographed the room wall with other visitors. The Smothers brothers
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: have been there, Paul Riser, and they have a local museum,
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: the Elkhorn Valley Museum, with Johnny's awards, his Emmy's costumes,
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: like art Fernon Blaby, And it was unbelievable just to
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: be at this place that made and shaped Johnny Carson.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you stand there in the middle of Nebraska,
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: the Great Midwest, you realize how far this guy came
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: and what a journey he took.
• 56:25
  Speaker 17: He did, I mean when he was seventeen, when he
• 56:28
  Speaker 17: graduated high school at seventeen, the first thing he did
• 56:31
  Speaker 17: was hitchhike to Los Angeles and he bought a star
• 56:35
  Speaker 17: map to the and went to Jack Benny's home and
• 56:37
  Speaker 17: waved it outside to see if Benny would come at
• 56:39
  Speaker 17: which he didn't. But yeah, Johnny always had these ambitions,
• 56:43
  Speaker 17: but Nebraska definitely shaped him.
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: And just to be back there and.
• 56:47
  Speaker 17: To talk to people that had Johnny's teacher, Fay Gordon,
• 56:51
  Speaker 17: who turned when she turned one hundred years old, and
• 56:53
  Speaker 17: then I think early the mid nineties, Johnny returned back
• 56:56
  Speaker 17: to Nebraska for her one hundred birthday. But I talked
• 56:59
  Speaker 17: to people that were older that had Johnny's teacher, and Johnny,
• 57:02
  Speaker 17: of course over there is like, I mean, he's an
• 57:05
  Speaker 17: icon to us, but back there, I mean he's royalty
• 57:08
  Speaker 17: and rightfully so. I mean he's donated so much money
• 57:10
  Speaker 17: and helped out with so many good causes.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a guy that gave his first big
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: radio job in Nebraska, and as you point out, he
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: was so nice that guy. For the rest of his life.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: He always helped the guy and met with him.
• 57:23
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 57:23
  Speaker 17: Yeah, Meryl Workoven was his name, and he was in Omaha,
• 57:27
  Speaker 17: and he got Johnny his really big first job in
• 57:30
  Speaker 17: radio and Omaha, and Johnny kept in touch with him
• 57:34
  Speaker 17: for decades.
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: Would invite him to the tonight show.
• 57:37
  Speaker 17: They'd go out to dinner at Johnny's one of Johnny's
• 57:39
  Speaker 17: favorite the Palm in La. And then when this gentleman, Meryll,
• 57:43
  Speaker 17: who worked in radio for something like thirty years in Nebraska,
• 57:46
  Speaker 17: when his car broke down driving out to LA Johnny
• 57:49
  Speaker 17: surprised him with a new car, a new Buick. And
• 57:53
  Speaker 17: when Johnny presented this to Meryl Workoven, they both started crying.
• 57:58
  Speaker 17: I mean their daughter, his daughter, Melanieu Werkovien, was telling
• 58:02
  Speaker 17: me the story about being there, and yeah, Johnny had
• 58:05
  Speaker 17: very close friends, which I talked about in the book,
• 58:08
  Speaker 17: which to the media, you know, they said he was
• 58:10
  Speaker 17: cold and a loof But the people I talked to,
• 58:13
  Speaker 17: the four hundred people, I mean, you knew Johnny Carson,
• 58:15
  Speaker 17: you met him, they told me that.
• 58:17
  Speaker 16: He was not like that.
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Well, he said, when you go to work, it's called work.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: It's not fun. You got to be very business like
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: and you got to be a little cold when you
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: go to work. You're not there to have fun.
• 58:27
  Speaker 16: He would.
• 58:28
  Speaker 17: Yeah, he would protect his energy too, because he was
• 58:30
  Speaker 17: You would only get there a couple hours before the
• 58:32
  Speaker 17: show because he didn't want to waste his energy on
• 58:35
  Speaker 17: a show day, no lunches with people. I mean, for
• 58:38
  Speaker 17: most of his career he was doing at least ninety minutes,
• 58:41
  Speaker 17: if not an hour and forty five, and he was
• 58:43
  Speaker 17: just always exhausted, so he had to protect his energy.
• 58:47
  Speaker 17: But to hear the stories was just it's been unbelievable.
• 58:50
  Speaker 17: I mean, Bob Yucker was somebody that I talked to
• 58:53
  Speaker 17: on the Carson podcast for an hour. He was telling
• 58:55
  Speaker 17: me that the first time he went on the show
• 58:57
  Speaker 17: in like nineteen sixty nine, Johnny did not believe afterwards,
• 59:01
  Speaker 17: that he was a real major league baseball player. He
• 59:03
  Speaker 17: thought he was so funny that he had to be
• 59:05
  Speaker 17: a comedian that was lying about being a major league
• 59:08
  Speaker 17: baseball player. And Johnny staff had to show him articles
• 59:12
  Speaker 17: and just to hear those stories, I mean, Ker told
• 59:15
  Speaker 17: me they never used the pre interview youger, Buddy Hackett,
• 59:18
  Speaker 17: Don Rickles, no pre interviews.
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, he was effortless.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, now everybody should get this book. You're gonna
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: love this book. It's just one fascinating chapter and story
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: after another. It's called Love Johnny Carson. Brand new book
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: by Mark Malkoff called Love Johnny Carson. Go order it now.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: They taped the show every night, But in thirty years,
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: did they ever stop a tape? They just never stopped
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: for any reason.
• 59:41
  Speaker 17: Did they very few times. The one time I remember
• 59:44
  Speaker 17: is Dela Reese had a stroke at an brain aneurysm.
• 59:47
  Speaker 17: They stopped that almost never. I think it was I
• 59:53
  Speaker 17: think John Davidson kicked a speaker and the something happened
• 59:57
  Speaker 17: and they had to cancel a taping.
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: But Johnny liked to in the mistakes. The mistakes were
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: all part of the show.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 17: Like well, for example, when Robert Gouleer John Davidson forgot
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 17: the words to a song, Johnny wouldn't let them stop tape.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 17: He said, no, you're gonna get it. You're gonna figure
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 17: it out. And the audience loved it, and you know,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 17: it just made these famous celebrities more endearing to the audience.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 17: But I have to say, I want to tell people
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 17: in the New York City area one thing I do
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 17: want to mention, and you were just there and I
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 17: was there just a day ago, is the Paley Center
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 17: at fifty second Street in New York City has Johnny
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 17: Carson's actual desk chair the couch. It's unbelievable. To sit there,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 17: and you can actually sit in Johnny's chair from the step.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 17: But I know you were there. I saw the photo,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 17: which is tremendous. But every opportunity when I'm in Midtown,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 17: I try to stop by the Paley Center.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a wonderful place. If you check my Instagram,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: you see a picture of me sitting in the Carson desk,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: But it's over there at the Paley Center, which is
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: a wonderful museum on fifty second Street. Hey, there's things
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: that Johnny Carson did it with traditions on the Tonight Shop.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: They're all gone now. They don't do them anymore, like
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: having a guest host or a sidekick sitting next to you,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: or a new comedians stand up comedian Newston. How come
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: that all went away? They don't do that anymore.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 17: I feel like the panel was the best part when
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 17: you would have these people like I don't know, Don
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 17: Rickles or Glenn Campbell and they start getting added and
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 17: there was just so much fun with those traditions. I
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 17: don't know why the shows have have just deviated so
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 17: much from what worked. It doesn't make any sense to
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 17: me about that tradition. Yeah, it's just it's different. I mean,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 17: I do like the fact that all the late night
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 17: hosts still talk about Johnny Carson with reverence, yet it's
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 17: not the same. I mean, I love and I hear
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 17: from people all across America that miss Johnny that go
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 17: to the official Johnny YouTube channel, and there's over a
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 17: million subs people that have subscribed to this YouTube channel,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 17: and it's just amazing just to look at that body
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 17: of work. But yeah, I really do wish they would
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 17: have kept some of those traditions.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you should also start listening to the Carson podcast.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: Mark Malcoff did with like six hundred episodes of it
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: with every.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 17: We did a lot, and we have new episodes coming up.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 17: Ed Shaughnessy, who's the drummer. We have his son I
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 17: talked to. I talked to a bunch of other people
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 17: that I wasn't able to get on the podcast. So
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 17: we're doing new episodes and we're going to be doing some.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: Events around the country.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 17: I was just in Chicago at their Museum of Broadcasts
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 17: and Communications. They have a Late Night exhibit some Carson
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 17: and Letterman items. So yeah, it's been just incredible just
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 17: people miss Johnny. I thought, Mark, I really thought, like
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 17: when talking to you, when we first started talking and stuff,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 17: I didn't realize how many people that around the country
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 17: just missed Johnny as much as us.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: But they are all over the place.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I should get the book Love Johnny Carson,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: big new, wonderful book about Johnny Carson, the real story,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: and it'd be a great Christmas present. It's called Love
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: Johnny Carson. Now, I always preferred the New York Tonight
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: Show years. There was something better about it. But Carson
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: had a lot of trouble in New York, right, women drinking,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 17: Yeah, he would talk about on the two I Show
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 17: with his struggle with alcohol. That was always a thing
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 17: he talked about. He would say he would have one
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 17: more drink than he's should he would turn into Attila
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 17: the Hunt. So he definitely had some tough times. Jillie's
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 17: and Ed McMahon would babysit him and make sure he
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 17: would get home. And he got in some trouble in
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 17: Frank Sinatra one time had to save his life there.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: I talk about that in the book, but I agree.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 17: I think the New York years with you know, Jimmy
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 17: Breslin and just I think that it was just such
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 17: a more intimate, classy show, sophisticated show. I did like
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 17: when they during those first ten years when they go
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 17: out to Hollywood, because it would go off the rails
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 17: with you know, people like George Goebel and Dean Martin.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 17: But I definitely think those first ten years from the
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 17: clips that I've seen, I think that those are stellar,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 17: and those really hold up the footage that does exist.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: Not a lot of it does, but when I've seen it.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's a one of a book. I'm telling
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: you get the book. You'll really love it. It's everything
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: you ever want to know. But I knew everything there
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: was to know about Johnny Carson, but I could read
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: this book and find out fifty thousand things I didn't know.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: It's got everything about Johnny Carson.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean Ed Eames. I mean I'm in for
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 17: at Beverly Hill is sitting down with Ed Eames. He's
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 17: in his nineties telling me about he didn't know how
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 17: to throw a tomahawk. And I'm getting the actual story
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 17: from the man himself, the most famous Carson Club of
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 17: all times. So we put all the stories in talk
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 17: to everyone that went on the show, Johnny's staff, and
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 17: I have to say I've heard from a lot of
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 17: people that knew Johnny and people at the tonight show,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 17: and they have all been so complimentary about me getting
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 17: the story right, which I'm grateful to hear. And you know,
• 1:04:32
