  Speaker 1: Mister New York Hey, that's marks alone sevent ten wards.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: That was yesterday. That's Thursday, well not almost over. The
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: weekend is almost. Remember it's a three day weekend coming
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: up Martin Luther King Day on Monday. So now, as
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: we told you yesterday, the committee looking at Jeffrey Epstein
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: has asked for months and months and months to have
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Bill and Hillary Clinton come testify. Donald Trump had very
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: little to do with Jeffrey Epstein. He knew him briefly
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: in the beginning, cut him off, threw him out of
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: mar A Lago. He knew him for a year or two.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: That was And then you're talking about back in the
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: you know, twenty five years ago, it was the Clintons
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: that had a very close friendship or whatever it was,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: relationship with Epstein, business who, whatever it was, it was
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: continuing until the end. The Clinton's very close to Epstein.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And in the case of Trump, Epstein became a wealthy guy,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: went to Palm Beach, and if you're a very wealthy
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: guy in Palm Beach, one of the first things you
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: do is join mar A Lago and they started hanging
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: around there. That's where Trump got to know him. And
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: here in New York. Epstein would throw these great parties
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: or be at these great parties, and you get a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: certain charm to him. I always found him kind of sleazy,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: but he was spending a lot of money. So you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: if you own a club, a country club, a mar
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: a lago, a resort, and a guy comes and has
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: a ton of money and he seems to be spending
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: it in your place, you're nice to him, you're friendly
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: with him. And all the pictures you see with Trump
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: are all at parties. So if there was a big
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: party in the ballroom, you know Trump would come down
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: spend a few minutes with the guy. It's perfectly normal.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You know, if you're the biggest spender in Las Vegas,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: when you go to the hotel, the head of the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: hotel will come down and talk to you for a
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: few minutes, see if you need anything. It's that kind
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: of relationship, and Trump did that with a lot of
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: There was a very very very wealthy guy who got married,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and this is when Trump owned the plaza. I remember
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: he threw a wedding that was unbelievable. He must have
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: spent twenty million on this wedding. I mean it was unbelievable.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It was like seventeen famous bands in a row. It
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: was like Chicago, followed by Tavares, followed by the Ojays.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, you hired all these band It was just unbelievable.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: The food, the money. This is in the Plaza Hotel
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: ballroom and it was about midnight and Trump shows up
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and I said, what are you doing here? I didn't
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: know you know this guy because I don't know the guy.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: He said, but he's spending a fortune. He's a great customer.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I want to say hello to him. I want to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: see if he needs me to do anything at his wedding,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: say a few words, take pictures, whatever. So you just
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: do that. And that's kind of relationship he had with Epstein. Now,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the Clinton's had a long relationship that continued at the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: very end. It was Epstein that formed the Clinton Foundation,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the Clinton Global Initiative, put the whole thing together.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Sell.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: This committee has asked the Clintons to come in and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: testify about Epstein. It's not that they're being accused of anything.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You just like to have them shed some light on
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the whole situation. They've refused and refused, and refused and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: refused and refused to come in. Even some left wing
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: people getting upset. John Stewart on the show said the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Clinton should apps a blank and lutely comply with Epstein's subpoenas. Absolutely,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: they should comply, he said, everybody should comply. These are
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: victims of these heinous cases, should finally get some justice.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So everybody's screaming for the Clintons to testify. They have
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: absolutely refused. They've defied Congress. Steve Bannon did it, Peter
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Navarro defied Congress, and they went to jail for it,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: so that something's got to happen to Clinton's Here's the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: committee chairman, James Comer.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I think what's most disappointing to the Oversight Committee is
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the fact that we have in good faith negotiated with
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: the Clinton's attorneys for five months. Throughout the past five months,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: they've applied to us. They were trying to make a
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: date work.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well now they're not coming. They've actually told them
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: they're not coming. So what do you do they refuse
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to come? Drop up contempt charges contempt to Congress. Here's Comer.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: We're going to vote on it in committee Wednesday, so
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: we're giving plenty of notice. We're having a mark up,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: a regularly scheduled markup for the House Oversight Committee. We
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: will mark up criminal contimpt of Congress chargers for both
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Clintons for defying a legal subpoena.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, now, the problem is if they charge them, who
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: does the prosecuting, Well, it'll go to the district attorney
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. Guess who that is, Jenine Piro. Now, remember,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: as I explained to you yesterday, it was the Clintons
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: that put her husband in jail in a ridiculous case.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: He didn't deserve to go to jail. It was some
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: you know, whatever they charged them with. Whenever I had
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: asked people in his attorney's office, where are the hell
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: did discharge come from? And they said that was something
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: lying around for years ago. Nobody in the office thought
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: it was anything. But it was the Clintons, and they
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: got a conviction, and they sent her husband to jail,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: so she would be the one coming after them. It's
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: not going to be good. Not going to be good.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: The husband was later pardoned that he's no longer found
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: he's a good guy. He didn't deserve any of that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: But this is not going to go well. For the Clintons. Now,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the Clinton's only argument will be something like, we don't
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: feel that a ex president, a former president, should be
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: forced to testify in front of Congress. But that doesn't
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: pass the smell test or the laugh test or any
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: of that. So you remember two days ago the President
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: visited the Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan. Bill Ford the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: chairman walking him around the plant and then also the CEO.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: They're touring the plant. Went on for about an hour. Well,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: at one point a Ford factory worker yelled something awful
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: at the President, like you're a pedophile protectory, Why you're
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: protecting pedophiles? Something ridiculous, ugly moment, and the President actually
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: gave him the finger. I know it's not presidential, you're
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: not supposed to do that, but you know what he
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: did it Well, Ford, you know, thought this was a
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: horrible thing. They were televising this whole thing, cameras were rolling.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: They thought it was just awful for Ford. It made
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Ford look terrible. So they suspended the worker. And I
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: don't think that's unfair. I think that would happen, you
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: know if here at any iHeart or at any corporation,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: if you were having some big formal ceremony and an
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: employee yelled out something awful and disrupted the ceremony. Well,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: they'd probably suspend you too. And if it were something
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: where a big dignitary was coming and you disrupted it,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they would suspend you. And if the President
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of the United States and there's cameras rolling, of course
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: they would suspend you. So it's not unfair. Uh, The
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: United Auto Workers says it's real viewing the employee's suspension.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: But here's the interesting part. Democrats, crazy left wing people
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: all over the country started two different go Fundme pages
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: for the suspended worker and they've raised near nearly eight
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars eight hundred thousand, which is probably four
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: or five years salary for this guy. It's actually a
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: good way to get a lot of money out of
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: democrats pockets, you know. And these go fundme pages. The
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: wife of Renee Good got something like one point five
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: million from these go fundme things. Just do something outrageous
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and these liberals will contribute like crazy. But we'll see
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: what happens. And we'll see, now, is that a tip?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: There's no tax on tips. But we'll see if he
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: ends up declaring that money or even taking it. Now,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: you know, Mark Kelly is the senator who started that
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: crazy video about if you're giving an illegal order, don't
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: obey it, and what they call them the Insurrection five
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: or the seditious the Seditious seven or whatever they were,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: those democrats on that video telling the military if they
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: think their orders illegal, not to obey. Well, Pete Hegseath
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: has demoted Mark Kelly's former military but there's still a
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: way you can demote him, and it does cut his
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: pension a little. So Mark Kelly is now suing Pete Hegseath.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: He's suing the Defense Department. I guess attorneys have looked
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: at this, I mean smart, great attorneys say he's got
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: no case at all. He said, hex of this is
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: attempting to punish a sitting member of the Senate committee
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: for criticizing the president. Well, this is why he've got
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: no case. It's not over criticizing a president. Everybody in
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Congress criticizes the president all day and night, so that's
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: not unusual. This would be for creating seditious conditions. Now,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the problem was, there are no illegal orders being given.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: There's never been a hint of any illegal orders being given.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Even Kelly can't point to anything. So if you're putting
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: out these propaganda videos urging military not to comply with
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: orders they think might be, it's putting it in their head.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: It's creating this whole false climate that there might be
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: illegal orders. So I can understand Hexa's thinking, here, you
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: got to stop this kind of seditious behavior. The lawsuit
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: will go absolutely nowhere, got no chance at all. Do
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: you have a Verizon phone? Did you go through this
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: outage yesterday? One hundred and seventy thousand customers for twelve
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: hours had no service in Seattle, Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Boston,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles, Washington, DC. You'd get that SOS. By the way,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: if you have an iPhone and you have no signal
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: at all, you can still use this. There's a satellite feature.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: It's built in when you go to SOS mode. If
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: it says SOS mode in an absolute emergency, that will
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: go to a satellite and get your help if you
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: need it. One reason to get an iPhone. But could
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: you imagine your cell service goes out for twelve hours?
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: What you'd have to go through, You'd have to actually
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: talk to people. You'd have to actually not use your
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: phone and just go through life looking at everything, talking
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to everything, not taking pictures, not reading, just enjoying life,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: just like people used to do years ago. It's hard
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: to go back and think about that. If this were
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two, well, there were a few cell phones then,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: but all you could do is make a call on
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: let's say it was nineteen eighty seven, there was nobody
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: on a mobile phone. What the hell did you do
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: all day? What did you do when you were on
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the train or what did you do when you're waiting
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: in the airport. I'm trying to well, I guess you
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: had to bring stuff with you. You had to bring books,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you had to bring magazines, which means you had to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: carry all this stuff around. But when you got home,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: what did you do? Well, you could watch TV. You
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: could make some phone calls, but that was it. That
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: was absolutely all you could do. Now, what if you're
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: watching TV they talked about something that was in you said, wow,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I didn't know. Let me go look that up. Now
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: you just go right to the computer and google it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: What did you do then, Well, I don't know what
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: could you do? Maybe you had some books that would
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: have it in there, but probably not. Probably. Where would
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: you go to a bookstore the next day? A library? What?
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: There was nothing you could do? How did we live
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: like that? How did we even do a radio show?
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Look?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I got all these computers in front of me with
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: everything on him. How did we do anything back then?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I really don't know. How did we? Uh? I guess
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: we had newspapers stacked up, and every newsroom had a million, big,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: huge books, all these almanacs and all these sort of
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: things up there. Zorain Mamdani talks to the president all
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: the time, but he's still crazy. Mom, Donni listen, I'm
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: yelling and screaming at a rally about Tom Holman. It
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: sounds like a reasonable guy doesn't eat now. Tom Holman
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: was asked about Mam Donnie.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: I have not met with the mayor in New York City.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: I did meet with the mayor, the prior mayor Eric Adam,
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: because he asked for me. So we'll see what happens.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: So I have not met with Mndonnie. The only time
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: I've ever seen him it's up in Albany and New
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: York before he ran from mayor. And you're screaming and
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: yelling and fishing his way through state. Please try to
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: get a moment with me, but I was too busy.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: Mahapp'm and ignore him.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: No, I can't imagine if they met two guys more incompatible.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie the young elitist left wing kook Ivy League,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and the old lunch bucket upstate New York, Tom Holman,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: sort of a guy. So the President is threatening to
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: cut funding for ICE front four states if they fight ICE,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: if they don't follow the law. He's threatening to cut
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: their funding if you try to be a sanctuary city.
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: Additionally, starting February first, we're not making any payments to
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: citizens and it breeds fraud and crime and all of
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: the other problems that comes. So we're not making any
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: payment to anybody that supports sanctuary cities.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some of that payment is locked in through congressionals,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: but a lot of it isn't, and that funds transit
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff. What would that do to a city, Mamdani?
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Any cut in funding would have a significant impact on
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: the city's ability to not only fulfill the budget that
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: it has today, but also to fulfill an agenda that
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: would ensure that more New Yorkers can afford to stay
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: in the city.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Here's hopel.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: This is just a threat to intimidate states like New
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: York into bowing into submission, and that is something we'll
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: never do. So I say this, you touch any more
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: money from the State of New York, we'll see you
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in court.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, Now she's right. It is intimidation, trying
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: to get her to bow. And yeah, what he's trying
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to get her to do is actually follow American law,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: enforce American laws. That's what he wants to do. Follow
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the law, enforce the law. She can go to court,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: she can sue. The top legal scholars of the world
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: have all said the lawsuit would have absolutely no chance
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: of succeeding. But does that stop mom, Donnie.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Our values and our laws cannot be bargaining chips. I
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: will always defend the city and every single person who
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: calls the city home, even in the face of threats
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: from the federal administration to withhold funds.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Our values are laws. But the problem is it's the
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: president wants the law enforced. It's Mom Donnie that wants
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the law ignored. You know, if they get into court,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: they might find out this whole sanctuary city thing is
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: totally illegal, saying January City sanctuary from the law is
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: totally unconstitutional. So if I were them, I wouldn't try this. Hey,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: when we come back, we'll take some calls. Eight hundred
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten,
