Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now this is Mark some owned show on seven tenoo. Well, hey,
- 0:09Speaker 1: the Epstein files. The vote is coming today. We'll get
- 0:12Speaker 1: to that. We'll get to Mom, Donnie and all the latest.
- 0:14Speaker 1: We'll get to Thanksgiving. We'll get to twenty twenty eight.
- 0:17Speaker 1: There is a front runner and what are the odds
- 0:20Speaker 1: of that front runner getting a nomination. We'll get to
- 0:22Speaker 1: Kathy Hokeel You're not gonna like this. We'll get to
- 0:27Speaker 1: Trump's schedule for the day, some controversial meetings, and we'll
- 0:31Speaker 1: get to Tariff's and a whole lot more So. If
- 0:34Speaker 1: you woke up this morning and try to check Twitter
- 0:36Speaker 1: or a lot of sites, they were down. There was
- 0:39Speaker 1: a big internet outage. Cloud Fair, the big Internet cloud
- 0:45Speaker 1: that supports all of that, so chat GPT was down.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Number of sites were down. If you go into some
- 0:51Speaker 1: of your favorite websites and they're not working. Internet outage.
- 0:55Speaker 1: The biggest one was Twitter x being totally disabled. By
- 1:00Speaker 1: Now they're looking at whether it was some sort of
- 1:01Speaker 1: hack or something. They're saying it was unusual traffic that
- 1:05Speaker 1: caused it. That sounds like a hack, but we'll see
- 1:08Speaker 1: that's the most frightening hack of all. Imagine if somebody
- 1:11Speaker 1: knocked out the internet? How would you exist? How would
- 1:13Speaker 1: you survive? You know, if you've got in a time
- 1:16Speaker 1: machine and you went back about twenty five years, thirty years,
- 1:20Speaker 1: you wouldn't know what to do all day. You could
- 1:25Speaker 1: watch TV, you could make phone calls on a landline,
- 1:29Speaker 1: you could read an actual physical newspaper, but when you're
- 1:33Speaker 1: walking around you'd have nothing. Nothing. How do you check
- 1:38Speaker 1: your email? Well, it didn't exist back then. You'd have
- 1:41Speaker 1: to wait to get a letter in the mail. It
- 1:42Speaker 1: was a very strange world back then. Now Epstein Files
- 1:48Speaker 1: House will vote today. They are expected to vote overwhelmingly
- 1:54Speaker 1: to release all the files. Then it goes to the
- 1:57Speaker 1: Senate and we'll see what the Senate does. Most likely
- 2:00Speaker 1: vote to release it. Now, remember the president has control
- 2:04Speaker 1: of the files. He could release him anytime. Now here's
- 2:07Speaker 1: the other products. They vote to release them. When would
- 2:11Speaker 1: that happen? Well, believe it or not? What's today? Tuesday?
- 2:14Speaker 1: Thursday is the final day of Congress. Then they go
- 2:16Speaker 1: on like an eleven day vacation for Thanksgiving. Yeah, that's right,
- 2:21Speaker 1: So it wouldn't happen till well after the Thanksgiving holiday.
- 2:25Speaker 1: But the president, if he wants to could start releasing
- 2:27Speaker 1: them tonight, or good time to release him was during Thanksgiving,
- 2:31Speaker 1: during the vacation member's way or Friday night. Just release
- 2:34Speaker 1: him Friday night, could start doing that, he has said,
- 2:39Speaker 1: and he's got a good point. It's basically democrats in
- 2:43Speaker 1: the file. Trumps asked yesterday all day about the Hey,
- 2:46Speaker 1: by the way, his voice is hoarse yesterday, he's got
- 2:49Speaker 1: a horse voice and it's a raspy voice. Now he
- 2:52Speaker 1: actually told reporters he's not sick. He said he was
- 2:55Speaker 1: yelling at somebody for a long time, and that's why
- 2:57Speaker 1: he was horse yelling at another country and a trade deal.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I feel great. I was shouting at people because they
- 3:05Speaker 2: were stupid about something having to do with trade in
- 3:10Speaker 2: a country, and I straightened it out.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Yeah, so they were fighting about tariffs, and now Democrats
- 3:16Speaker 1: will tell you how bad tariffs are. They'll argue against tariffs.
- 3:18Speaker 1: They'll keep screaming about tariffs because if you put a
- 3:21Speaker 1: tariff on a corporation or a business, it's going to
- 3:25Speaker 1: cause them to have to raise their prices. So if
- 3:28Speaker 1: you think, well, that sounds good, you got to remember
- 3:31Speaker 1: nobody puts more tariffs on businesses than Democrats. They call
- 3:35Speaker 1: it corporate tax increase. Increase the corporate tax, well, that's
- 3:40Speaker 1: a tariff. It's just done here in this country. So
- 3:43Speaker 1: if you think tariffs would make the price of goods
- 3:46Speaker 1: go up, obviously, if you increase the corporate tax, if
- 3:50Speaker 1: you raise the tax rates on those corporations, that's a tariff.
- 3:54Speaker 1: It's going to cause exactly the same price increase, in
- 3:57Speaker 1: fact more of a price increase, because there's really nothing
- 4:00Speaker 1: do when you do tariffs. It's coming from another country,
- 4:03Speaker 1: so there's another company involved, and there's like three middle
- 4:05Speaker 1: men in between. Some of them can all take a
- 4:08Speaker 1: little cut and avoid the price increase. But when you
- 4:11Speaker 1: put the tariff on the corporation in the United States
- 4:14Speaker 1: and you call it an increase in corporate tax, there's
- 4:18Speaker 1: no middle men, nobody. The corporation has to raise the price.
- 4:21Speaker 1: So Trump, with his raspy voice, was asked about the
- 4:25Speaker 1: Epstein files, and he's all for releasing him.
- 4:27Speaker 2: We have nothing to do with Epstein and Democrats. All
- 4:30Speaker 2: of his friends were Democrats.
- 4:33Speaker 1: You look at this.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Redhoff and you look at Larry Summers, Bill Clinton, they
- 4:37Speaker 2: went to his island all the time. Many of this
- 4:40Speaker 2: all Democrats.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Now he's got a point there. Trump had nothing to
- 4:43Speaker 1: do with Epstein. He was friendly with him a million
- 4:45Speaker 1: years ago for a year or two, found out what
- 4:47Speaker 1: he was up to, cut him off, threw him out
- 4:49Speaker 1: of Marrow lago. That's twenty years ago. So that was
- 4:52Speaker 1: the end of Epstein for him, twenty one years ago. Actually,
- 4:55Speaker 1: But all his friends were Democrats. Now, I'm sure there's
- 4:58Speaker 1: a couple of Republicans mixed in there, I'm sure, but
- 5:01Speaker 1: you got to remember one of the reasons all his
- 5:03Speaker 1: friends are democrats. Epstein was a guy operating in New York,
- 5:06Speaker 1: the Upper East Side, in a democratic world. In the
- 5:09Speaker 1: world that Epstein existed in, it was mostly you know,
- 5:12Speaker 1: it's like New York politics, it's mostly Democrats. So you
- 5:17Speaker 1: know Larry Summers Harvard. By the way, Larry Summers was
- 5:20Speaker 1: the president of Harvard. He was Clinton's treasury secretary. He's
- 5:24Speaker 1: the first victim of these Epstein files being released. Now,
- 5:27Speaker 1: some of them got released because they came from the
- 5:30Speaker 1: estate of Jeffrey Epstein, which had all of his texts
- 5:33Speaker 1: in his emails. That the Larry Summers stuff has been released,
- 5:36Speaker 1: it's very embarrassing. He's a married man who's running around
- 5:40Speaker 1: with women all over the world, and he's Larry Summers.
- 5:43Speaker 1: He's not exactly a dashing playboy type, so he's not
- 5:47Speaker 1: very good with these women. So he's constantly texting Epstein
- 5:52Speaker 1: for advice. You know, she told me this, She said,
- 5:54Speaker 1: she's busy. What do I do? I was supposed to
- 5:56Speaker 1: see her this weekend. She canceled. What do I do?
- 5:59Speaker 1: He's begging Epstein for advice on how to woo these
- 6:02Speaker 1: women or win them back, and one of them even
- 6:05Speaker 1: calls Epstein his wingman. So it's embarrassing. Now this is
- 6:10Speaker 1: Larry Summers, who has he just said he's going to withdraw.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Now he put out a statement at Harvard. I am
- 6:19Speaker 1: deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they
- 6:22Speaker 1: have caused, Summers wrote, I take full responsibility for my
- 6:27Speaker 1: misguided decision to continue communicating with mister Epstein. So he's
- 6:34Speaker 1: not apologizing for what he did, the cheating the women,
- 6:37Speaker 1: He's just apologizing for communicating with mister Epstein. And you
- 6:42Speaker 1: gotta wonder what kind of idiot puts this in writing?
- 6:45Speaker 1: Why is he texting this and emailing this? Why don't
- 6:47Speaker 1: you call him? You know certain things you don't put
- 6:49Speaker 1: it in writing, you call and you do it verbally.
- 6:53Speaker 1: You remember Pauline and Goodfellows. He said, you never talk
- 6:57Speaker 1: on the phone if you can talk in person, and
- 7:01Speaker 1: you're never talk in person if you can nod. So
- 7:04Speaker 1: Larry Summer's got to learn this stuff. If he's gonna
- 7:06Speaker 1: do all this cheating, Summers is withdrawing from a public stuff.
- 7:13Speaker 1: What is that? Well, he has a lot of roles.
- 7:15Speaker 1: He's a senior fellow at the think tank Center for
- 7:18Speaker 1: American Progress. That's one of those left wing kook sites,
- 7:22Speaker 1: the one of those Soros funded kind of deals. He's
- 7:24Speaker 1: a paid columnist with Bloomberg News, another left wing thing.
- 7:28Speaker 1: He's a board member at Open AI's. He says he
- 7:32Speaker 1: will remain as a professor at Harvard, but he will
- 7:37Speaker 1: while continue to fulfilling my teaching obligations. He says, I
- 7:41Speaker 1: will be stepping back from public commitments as part of
- 7:45Speaker 1: my broader effort. So he's one of the first guys
- 7:49Speaker 1: just to be damaged, his career messed up by Epstein.
- 7:55Speaker 1: The files listen. There's no such thing as a client list.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Epstein did not have a second business. There were always
- 8:02Speaker 1: a lot of women at his parties of all ages,
- 8:04Speaker 1: these young girls. Epstein liked the young girls. That was
- 8:08Speaker 1: for him. That was his little fetish, these young girls. Now,
- 8:11Speaker 1: there may have been a friend or two that got
- 8:14Speaker 1: involved with that. Prince Andrews believed had gotten involved with that,
- 8:17Speaker 1: but you're not going to find. There's no such thing
- 8:20Speaker 1: as a client list. He wasn't running a sex business.
- 8:22Speaker 1: The only client list he had was for his wealth
- 8:25Speaker 1: management business. And that's only about six names. Here's more
- 8:28Speaker 1: of Trump on Epstein.
- 8:29Speaker 2: No matter what we gave is never enough. You know.
- 8:32Speaker 2: With Kennedy, we gave everything, and it was enough. With
- 8:35Speaker 2: Martin Luther King, we gave everything, and it's never enough.
- 8:39Speaker 2: We've already given I believe the number is fifty thousand pages.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Fifty thousand pages, and it's just a Russia Russia Russia
- 8:48Speaker 2: hoax as it pertains to the Republicans.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a good point there. If they release
- 8:53Speaker 1: everything in the world Democrats in the media, you know
- 8:56Speaker 1: how crazy they get with their Trump Arrangement syndrome, They'll
- 8:59Speaker 1: be screaming that the things have been redacted. It's a
- 9:02Speaker 1: cover up. They destroyed, they scrubbed. No matter what you release,
- 9:07Speaker 1: it won't be enough.
- 9:08Speaker 2: You know.
- 9:08Speaker 1: The assassination attempt on President Trump. There's a good example.
- 9:12Speaker 1: There's an excellent example. We're watching live on TV as
- 9:16Speaker 1: a guy shoots at him, and Democrats in the media,
- 9:20Speaker 1: many of them. You remember this, They started saying it
- 9:22Speaker 1: wasn't real and if you look at his ear, the
- 9:24Speaker 1: way the blood came out wasn't real. It was obviously faked.
- 9:26Speaker 1: It was obviously stage. Well, what about the guy that
- 9:29Speaker 1: got shot behind him and his dead well that who
- 9:32Speaker 1: They changed the subject. It's always these weird conspiracy theories.
- 9:36Speaker 1: So no matter what is released, it won't be enough.
- 9:38Speaker 3: I don't care about it released or not what I
- 9:41Speaker 3: think you should do.
- 9:42Speaker 1: If you're going to do it, then you have to
- 9:44Speaker 1: go into Epstein's friends. This read often spent a lot
- 9:49Speaker 1: of time on the island. Whres debor on his island?
- 9:53Speaker 2: Bill Clint is the one there, supposedly twenty eight times.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, all these reporters, all these microphones have
- 10:00Speaker 1: runner Trump when it talks about Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, where
- 10:03Speaker 1: are they? Why aren't they in Schappaquay? I asked Bill
- 10:05Speaker 1: Clinton these questions. Go find ried Hoffman and ask him
- 10:08Speaker 1: these questions. Ask Epstein's real friends. Trump knew him briefly
- 10:11Speaker 1: a million years ago. But ask his friends of the
- 10:14Speaker 1: last twenty years these questions. But you know in the media,
- 10:16Speaker 1: they're not going to do that.
- 10:17Speaker 2: They can do whatever they want.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Yeah, So anyway, let's get to Mom Donnie. It looks
- 10:24Speaker 1: like Jessica Tish will stay for the time being. We
- 10:27Speaker 1: don't know what will happen, but they've had a couple
- 10:29Speaker 1: of conversations. Mom Donnie is now being a little more
- 10:34Speaker 1: positive about her staying.
- 10:35Speaker 3: I do want her to stay, and I made that
- 10:37Speaker 3: commitment during the election. That's something that I continue to believe.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Will she stay in that office.
- 10:42Speaker 3: I continue to be confident in my decision.
- 10:43Speaker 2: She has said more than once that the officers, she
- 10:45Speaker 2: wants more of them, and you don't. You don't have
- 10:48Speaker 2: that in your in your in your positions.
- 10:50Speaker 3: Yet I think that the number of officers that we
- 10:52Speaker 3: have is the right amount. I think the better question, frankly,
- 10:55Speaker 3: that is often lost in our politics is how do
- 10:57Speaker 3: we keep those officers on the force?
- 10:59Speaker 1: No, No, that's it interesting because under certain conditions, like Mom Donnie,
- 11:03Speaker 1: you got officers resigning or taking their pension and getting out,
- 11:06Speaker 1: or a lot of them go somewhere else, and you know,
- 11:10Speaker 1: you know a lot of them live in Nassau County, Suffolk, Rockland.
- 11:12Speaker 1: They'll go join that police force. But that's interesting. Of course,
- 11:16Speaker 1: we were assuming he's telling the truth. Who knows what
- 11:18Speaker 1: this guy that he doesn't want to lose any officers,
- 11:21Speaker 1: that he does want to keep the current amount. Jessica
- 11:24Speaker 1: tish that you want to be mayor.
- 11:25Speaker 3: I am a public servant, not a politician.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Okay, but you know there may be a call for
- 11:29Speaker 1: you to jump into the mayor's race. Would you consider
- 11:33Speaker 1: if there was a big recruitment being know.
- 11:36Speaker 3: My dream was to be the sanitation commissioner.
- 11:39Speaker 1: I remember when you know, an really dared dream of
- 11:42Speaker 1: being police commissioner. But this is the job for me
- 11:45Speaker 1: for sure. Sorry, now that these are very political answers.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Now you got to remember mom, Donnie. Once he gets
- 11:54Speaker 1: into office, I'm assuming he wants to be re elected
- 11:57Speaker 1: and be mayor for a second term. He's got to
- 12:00Speaker 1: worry about his competition, and he's already fighting with a
- 12:04Speaker 1: lot of Democrats. You know, somebody might try to primary
- 12:07Speaker 1: him out. There was Brad Lander who was in that primary.
- 12:10Speaker 1: He and Lander have had some sort of a breakup
- 12:12Speaker 1: and fight, and he made a very weird announcement, Brad
- 12:17Speaker 1: Lander will have no role in my administration. So it's
- 12:20Speaker 1: a real slap in the face to him and that
- 12:22Speaker 1: Democratic Socialist Association, whatever that is. Apparently there's some fighting
- 12:26Speaker 1: there between Mamdannie and them. But he's got to worry
- 12:29Speaker 1: about the opponent next time around, and Jessica Tish would
- 12:32Speaker 1: be a very very likely one. So he's got a figure.
- 12:36Speaker 1: What can he do to keep her on the team.
- 12:39Speaker 1: That's another reason he might want to keep her as
- 12:41Speaker 1: police commissioner, because if she continues to work for him,
- 12:44Speaker 1: it would look too weird to run against him all
- 12:46Speaker 1: of a sudden. It would look a little treacherous. So
- 12:49Speaker 1: he might want to keep her there for that reason. Also,
- 12:52Speaker 1: if he gets rid of her, if she leaves, she
- 12:56Speaker 1: could get very, very very vocal about what's wrong with
- 12:58Speaker 1: him and what he's doing wrong, be a serious critic. Yeah,
- 13:05Speaker 1: this may sound crazy, but don't be surprised if Eric
- 13:07Speaker 1: Adams tries to run against him when he's up for reelection.
- 13:10Speaker 1: There may be a battle between him and Adams. They're
- 13:12Speaker 1: already sniping at each other. Here's Mom Donald.
- 13:15Speaker 3: The Yorkers are on the brink of being priced out
- 13:17Speaker 3: of the city that they call home, and his actions
- 13:20Speaker 3: have little to do with that affordability crisis. And what
- 13:23Speaker 3: they show, in fact, is why New Yorkers are so
- 13:26Speaker 3: desperate for a new administration, one that will focus on
- 13:29Speaker 3: the needs of the city and we'll look to speak
- 13:31Speaker 3: to working class New Yorkers as to what those needs
- 13:35Speaker 3: are as opposed to war criminals.
- 13:37Speaker 1: I'd a lot of double talk from this guy. But
- 13:39Speaker 1: this affordability crisis is taking place. But if you'll notice,
- 13:44Speaker 1: it's only taking place in blue cities wherever Democrats are
- 13:48Speaker 1: running things, that's where you get the affordability crisis. And
- 13:51Speaker 1: we get a real left wing socialist type democrat, you
- 13:54Speaker 1: get a real affordability crisis. That's where it's the worst.
- 13:58Speaker 1: And I love how these Democrats keep talking about the
- 14:00Speaker 1: affordability crisis in New York. Well, New York's been run
- 14:04Speaker 1: by Democrats for fifteen years. Every inch of it is Democrats.
- 14:08Speaker 1: It's the Mayor's a Democrat, the Governor's a Democrat, the
- 14:10Speaker 1: City Council is a Democrat. The Legislature, the Senate, the
- 14:14Speaker 1: Assembly all Democrats. So if you've got an affordability crisis.
- 14:18Speaker 1: You can blame the Democrats. And again, look around the country.
- 14:21Speaker 1: You got a red state, red city, pretty good, think
- 14:23Speaker 1: economy is booming, blue city, blue state. You got an
- 14:27Speaker 1: affordability crisis. So hey, we'll get to twenty twenty eight.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Coming up, Newsom. Gavin Newsom still way out in the
- 14:34Speaker 1: lead in all the polls. Every bit of polling shows
- 14:37Speaker 1: Newsom way out in front. And now, if you check
- 14:40Speaker 1: historically it comes to Democrat nominations, whoever the early front
- 14:45Speaker 1: runner is always gets the nomination every time. The only time,
- 14:51Speaker 1: the only one exception, Hillary Clinton in two thousand and eight.
- 14:54Speaker 1: That's the only exception. But that's because an extraordinary guy,
- 15:00Speaker 1: Barack Obama, I mean extraordinary as far as a personality,
- 15:04Speaker 1: articulate Cayman just took the nomination from her in two
- 15:08Speaker 1: thousand and eight. But every other case, whoever's the front
- 15:12Speaker 1: runner now gets the nomination. Right now, Gavin Newsom way
- 15:16Speaker 1: out in front. Hey, next year's the governor's election here
- 15:19Speaker 1: in New York. Latest poll shows Hochel I don't mean upset,
- 15:25Speaker 1: but the latest poll shows Hocal with a twenty point
- 15:29Speaker 1: lead over Elise Stephonic twenty points over Elise Stephonic. Now,
- 15:36Speaker 1: of course that's very very early. A lot of people
- 15:38Speaker 1: aren't familiar with her yet. Things could change. And if
- 15:41Speaker 1: you're Bruce Blakeman, you got to be looking at that
- 15:43Speaker 1: saying twenty point lead. I don't know if I want
- 15:45Speaker 1: to jump into that, but Blakeman would probably be a
- 15:48Speaker 1: much stronger candidate than Alis Stephonic. I know they say
- 15:53Speaker 1: it's good to have a woman against a woman, and
- 15:54Speaker 1: I forget all that. At least Stephonic is great, but
- 15:58Speaker 1: she's a talker. She's a legislator. Blakeman's an executive, a governor. Basically,
- 16:03Speaker 1: he's the governor of Nassau County. That's what a county
- 16:05Speaker 1: executive is. He'd be the perfect replacement. Anyway, Bill O'Reilly.
- 16:10Speaker 1: In a few minutes, we'll take some calls. Next eight
- 16:13Speaker 1: hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
