Trump KINGDOM CRUMBLING UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE EPSTEIN FILES.... · 2 Men In Black and White: An Honest Conversation

• Mark Hayes (00:00.596) No. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another exciting edition of Men in Black and White. My name is Mark Hayes. My partner, Brock Ginellis, here is, we're just a couple of guys with streaming capability and some pretty decent computers to record some images and some comments and some opinions on the decay of our democracy through the black and white community lenses. BROCK GANELES (00:01.235) Okay. Mark Hayes (00:29.376) All right, Brock Anelis is here with us today, Brock. We gotta start with what I told you long ago. I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. These Epstein files, the latest tranche of documents on last Friday, absolutely devastating for Trump. As Marjorie Taylor Greene said, the bombing should commence any moment now on Iran, which is no laughing matter. BROCK GANELES (00:40.543) Yeah Mark Hayes (00:56.841) Because again, our men and women are being stretched so thin all over the world. We haven't even heard anything about Venezuela. What's going on down there? I mean, it's like it is is wag the dog on double secret steroids like, you know, the best steroids you can get your hands on. I mean, this is insane. And so now what we're seeing is the DOJ says they've taken down. several thousand documents that they mistakenly put up. So here's the thing, Brock. Remember when they said they had thousands of agents combing through the documents to eliminate Trump's name and his name still appeared 5,000 times? What does that tell us? What does that tell us, my friend, and where do we go from here? BROCK GANELES (01:48.713) Well, Trump is so embedded in all these Epstein documentation, right? Is that you can't extract him out of it. I guess it tells us like one of three things or all three things. One is that the FBI is somewhat incompetent in that they were supposedly redacting things to protect Trump. But once they start putting some documents out, Trump is all over them and was entirely implicated by this last tranche that came out. Mark Hayes (01:53.299) God. BROCK GANELES (02:19.571) I mean, number two is that there's so many documents that they can't even get through them to redact them in any way, shape or form. And number three is, mean, they sent out like naked. They sent out a lot of photos of underage women where they didn't blur out the faces. So the whole point was of this whole process is in theory to protect the victims. Mark Hayes (02:38.059) Ugh. BROCK GANELES (02:47.199) but they didn't do that in what they disclosed. They certainly attempted to protect the perpetrators, but they did a shitty job of protecting the victims. Mark Hayes (02:54.775) Can I tell you why? Yeah, can I tell you why they weren't able to protect the victims, Well, A, and two, they're incompetent. We've got a bunch of hashtag MAGA morons are governing America. That's what it is. We've got the dumbest cabinet, clown car cabinet we've ever seen in our lifetimes. BROCK GANELES (03:01.365) They don't care. Mark Hayes (03:27.637) You know, and now with the 24 hour news cycle, you know, they can't get away with anything. They're trying to, but they're locked, not everybody's getting the lines straight. They keep stumbling over themselves. I mean, the Epstein files, I told you was gonna bring this fool down, right? Now he's making crazy statements like, if you don't send me cash money, you don't have loyalty to me. You don't love me. Yeah. BROCK GANELES (03:55.389) it's fundraising. His fun. Mark Hayes (03:57.257) Yeah, so, you know, immediately he goes to fundraising, right? I need your money. So, you know, he's already, you know, trying to figure out the next lie, but there is no explaining what's in these dots. Brock, what we've seen should have ended this man's presidency. BROCK GANELES (04:16.393) Yeah. What we've seen so far, we came out of this last trunch, which was, which took them months, right? And they went in a month after they were supposed to disclose them because obviously they're trying to scrub these to the bone, but they sent out so much stuff with Trump involved that he's convinced there's like a mole in there who's out to get him, right? He's raging that someone bucked him over intentionally by putting out like the photos of him and some of the other documentation. Mark Hayes (04:23.967) Right? Mark Hayes (04:38.484) No. BROCK GANELES (04:47.061) But what I saw today was like some incredible emails between like Epstein and Peter Thiel saying that Trump can't Trump's Achilles heels is he can't show his taxes. Right. Because all the. Yes. So the IRS for any day. So we knew. Mark Hayes (04:52.222) Did you see those? Mark Hayes (04:59.655) Right. Right. And now he's suing the IRS over the release of his taxes. BROCK GANELES (05:10.365) So obviously Trump just played the hand of saying that he's not going to disclose it, that he's under audit, right? He said he was under audit, but Epstein tells the truth, right? You know, we know his numbers are fake and bogus and how many payments he's gotten from foreign, you know, probably mostly from Russia. I mean, it's a national security disaster as well as a pedophilia ring. And it, yeah, today, I guess more people prune through it and put out more Mark Hayes (05:21.31) Fake and fudged. Mark Hayes (05:29.407) Yep. Mark Hayes (05:33.981) Yep. BROCK GANELES (05:40.299) incriminating documents and Trump's just buried in there. He's buried in there. then there was also the story how he took like, I guess it was the Qataris or was it United Arab Emirates put like 500 million into his crypto coin and then all of a sudden got green lit for AI technology they'd been restricted from. I mean, the corruption is so fucking blatant. doesn't care. And the numbers are huge, right? Mark Hayes (05:44.2) Yeah. Yeah. Mark Hayes (06:02.409) It's mind blowing. Yeah. Yeah. BROCK GANELES (06:07.403) $500 million bribe to get AI technology directly to Trump and we wonder why he's enriched himself. That 1.4 billion number that came out a week ago from the New York Times seems way too low. Mark Hayes (06:15.922) Right. Mark Hayes (06:20.852) Way too low, bro. He's been at it for a full year now. Right? Almost 13 months. Right? Like dude has been raking in the dough because everybody knows that's how to get to him. Right? If there's something they want, all we gotta do is pay Trump. Right? You know, the Qataris, they, I mean, they got money hand over fist. They got oil money. You know, it's all play money to them. And the other thing is in the meantime, in the meantime, Americans will live in check to check as our economy gets ready to go straight into the shitter. And, you know, it's interesting too, because I saw a clip on YouTube from one of the Fox business people who said that this economy is going to be this, this blow up of our economy is going to be worse than 2008 because It's not a global issue, right? This is all, you know, self-inflicted wounds within the US that we've done to ourselves that we just can't dig our way. We're not gonna just be able to go to Canada and in the end say, can you guys cut us in on that trade deal? You know, we want in now. Yeah, buy our stuff. Nobody's doing that. Right? Especially with Trump at the helm. BROCK GANELES (07:38.419) Yeah, buy our stuff, buy our stuff, please! Mark Hayes (07:46.835) So until we get more ambassadors and statesmen and people who understand global policy, we're screwed. We are screwed. You know, I was talking to my next door neighbor. I didn't know he was out of work, but the tariffs, he was working for a French company, traveling to Paris regularly. Next thing I know. He's like, hey, Mark, yeah, I'm looking for a job. home. I got no problem helping you out with your dogs. I said, what? He's like, yeah, the tariff was killing us. So they started right sizing folks over there in Paris. So look, we understand these people don't know what the hell they're doing. And people who do know what they're doing are being shown the door see Jerome Powell. Jerome Powell knows what it is. BROCK GANELES (08:24.341) Mm-hmm. Mark Hayes (08:40.465) He's sitting there giving you the truth. And if you don't think this economic data is worse than we could ever imagine, you know, I got some swamp land in Brooklyn I need to sell you. BROCK GANELES (08:54.335) Yeah, we obviously we can't trust the data that we've seen and it doesn't match up with the anecdotal stories that we're hearing and certainly the headlines on the layoffs. So nothing unemployment feels right. Mark Hayes (08:57.628) No. BROCK GANELES (09:10.633) That's interesting story that like, there's, you know, that's almost like the quiet unemployment, right? Are the people that you didn't really know that were out there, but there's going to be cracks in the economy, but Trump doesn't care. But the rank and file American citizen gets it, right? Because they're getting killed in the, you know, on the paycheck. And now they're absolutely riled up about what's going on with ICE because it just feels wrong. So it feels wrong while their life and their quality of life is also getting worse. Mark Hayes (09:15.793) Ready? Mark Hayes (09:26.608) Right? Mark Hayes (09:35.805) Yep. BROCK GANELES (09:40.713) And this is why every time there's an election. MAGA politicians are getting crushed in any time there's a town hall, right? Any place where American citizens can get a forum to air their grievances, they are. So it's either ballot box or it's town hall or it's out on the streets. Mark Hayes (09:49.18) Yep. Mark Hayes (10:06.15) Yep, yep. Well, guess who's at it again. Pocahontas, remember the famous Pocahontas made fun of by Donald Trump, our esteemed Senator Elizabeth Warren? She's out with a brand new report, Trumpflation and how we are getting killed at every turn. She's got new data that shows inflation, energy prices and grocery costs all roads. the first year of Trumponomics. Right? He said day one prices were going down. Right? Remember those hungry farmers and folks that are out of work in CUNY Nebraska, right? Because they're closing plants. What was that a Tyson plant? forget the beef plant that closed in Nebraska. You know, the town basically had to, has got to get up and leave. It was the whole town that worked there. BROCK GANELES (10:59.531) Yeah, the town's going to shut down. Yeah, because no one in town has a job anymore. I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth Warren, always have been since you know, way back when she saw the, she's seen this income inequality forever. She's seen the banks out of control forever, the whole finance system being tilted towards the corporations and against the individual. She's big on the Consumer Protection Agency. That was her baby. Mark Hayes (11:09.37) No doubt. Mark Hayes (11:13.575) She gets it. Mark Hayes (11:20.602) Right. Mark Hayes (11:26.58) Yeah. BROCK GANELES (11:27.113) that Trump basically stripped to the bones. Yeah. So I'm a big, if Warren's on top of it, you can usually trust it as the gospel. but Trump, he's a bullshitter, right? He lied to the people. I mean, to have those things happen, you have to put policy in place to deal with healthcare requires policy. It doesn't happen on its own to get prices down and to cover people to get food prices down. You'd have to have a policy in place. You'd have to have Mark Hayes (11:29.339) Got it. Yep. Mark Hayes (11:44.657) Right. Mark Hayes (11:54.437) Hehehehehe BROCK GANELES (11:56.575) You'd have to break up consolidation. You'd have to get more competition in the market. Maybe you'd have to give incentives to get, you know, more suppliers so that prices could come down and meet the demand. These are things that don't happen on their own. But Trump has no policies and no plans. And the policy didn't put in place. Tariffs are inflationary because there are tax on the consumer. Mark Hayes (12:14.522) Nope. BROCK GANELES (12:22.131) and he tried to sell America on the fact that that wasn't the case, that this was a revenue scheme and a way to make America wealthier, but really is just making him wealthier because he's being bribed by the corporations so that they didn't get affected by the tariffs. All the stories are out that big companies have navigated around it and small companies have gotten killed, navigated around it because they've been able to get exemptions. Mark Hayes (12:39.621) Right. Mark Hayes (12:49.155) Right. Right. BROCK GANELES (12:51.325) It required actually leadership and competence to achieve those cost reductions. And Trump has none of that because he doesn't give a shit about anyone. He just wants to know whether he's getting paid or not. And on every front, he's getting paid. Mark Hayes (13:01.71) Neither. Mark Hayes (13:06.535) And that's the bottom line. Yep, and that's the bottom line. Elizabeth Warren says the average family paid about $2,200 more for goods and services over the cost of the first year of the Trump administration. You know, that's enough, Brock. You know, that extra $200 a month is enough to throw your grocery bill out of whack, you know, especially when you live in check-to-check, or you're a single mom, or your stat benefits have been cut off. Right? I mean, just, you know, it's cruelty. It's the cruelty so that the 83 billionaires can actually get rich. And so Trump can become a billionaire, right? Because he's saying, hey, you 83 guys, right? I'm making you guys a lot of money, right? Because you're allowed to keep jacking up prices and doing everything you gotta do. So, you know, pay me, pay me. I want to be part of the club. BROCK GANELES (14:06.847) Yeah, and you cut their corporate tax rates too. And most of them have their wealth in stocks. like they made, you know, they're making more money on the equities as well as paying less on their regular income. So it's, I mean, it's a shell game. The American economy has become a shell game and very few people are winning. it's, the corruption is so blatant. That's kind of the beauty of the Epstein files. Mark Hayes (14:09.765) Exactly! Mark Hayes (14:19.215) No doubt. BROCK GANELES (14:36.509) as well. Is it just it unmasks like the conversations going on amongst the wealthiest both in the privity but also in their lust for power and how they're trying to control the world around them. I hey, I guess we're the chumps for letting it happen, right? We've let it happen. Mark Hayes (14:44.43) Yes! Mark Hayes (14:54.881) Yes! Mark Hayes (14:59.119) Right. BROCK GANELES (15:01.641) We voted for these same people. We've gotten sucked in by their bullshit over the years and we've allowed it to happen. Right. We allowed Biden to keep Merrick Garland in the seat for four years. We should have been screaming from the hilltops after year one and forcing his hand and forcing our Congress people to force his hand to make a change because that I'm just using a random example, right? Cause Merrick Garland wasn't Mark Hayes (15:10.245) Yeah. Mark Hayes (15:19.127) Yes. Right. BROCK GANELES (15:31.787) with the urgency that was necessary. We're, it's our own fault. And that's why we're going to have to hit the streets to get ourselves out of it. It's our fault. No one's going to come fix it for us. No one's looking out for us. We have to go out on the street. We have to demand it. We have to make it happen. And we have to be smart enough next time to not, to not let it happen again. Mark Hayes (15:32.76) Right. Right. Mark Hayes (15:55.467) Right. You know, the Merrick Garland situation, you know, just pains me every day to even have to think about, you know, how severely he let us down. I mean, it is... God. mean, you know, he was a Federalist Society guy. I don't even know why we even, you know... Yeah, why was he on the list? BROCK GANELES (16:15.765) Why was he down the left? Why was he down the left? I'm gonna go back to Obama. Why the fuck did Obama want him on the Supreme Court? Mark Hayes (16:22.236) Exactly. Exactly. He'd have been doing the same thing they're doing now. Would have been 72 instead of 6'3". So, you know, I don't know, Brock. We've got to figure... Well, exactly. BROCK GANELES (16:33.385) But we had our head up our ass. I wasn't thinking that when Garland was... I was kind of like, fucking Mitch McConnell's not letting him do the vote on Garland, this and that. I didn't scrutinize Garland and go, what the fuck is this the guy? you know, we let too much shit go past. We trusted, we allowed these certain games to get played all the time around us. And now it's coming home to Rooster. I'm talking about us on the left, right? Mark Hayes (16:45.813) Right, right. And now we know. Yep. Mark Hayes (16:55.96) Yeah. Mark Hayes (17:00.514) Right, right? BROCK GANELES (17:01.407) People on the right, like they're still, they're still eating the shit that's being served them, right? They're still getting emails saying that if they don't send Trump's, you know, super PAC money that ICE is going to come after them or they're not real patriots. Like, look, they're still, they're still over there eating the dog food, right? But for us on the left who now see through all the shenanigans and scams that have been thrown our way. Mark Hayes (17:12.356) it. Mark Hayes (17:17.451) Right. Mark Hayes (17:25.559) Right. BROCK GANELES (17:30.953) You know, we're the ones that are going to have to leave the country out of it, but we have to do it through action. we can't put up with politicians that are going to bullshit in half ass us like when Cory Booker says, you know, all we need with ISIS is better training. Right. Like, don't bullshit me on that. Shut the fuck up. We got a 20 year veteran just shot a woman in the face three times. You see the other two guys who shot Alex Brady were a 10 year veteran and an eight year veteran like. Mark Hayes (17:36.696) Yeah. Yeah. Mark Hayes (17:49.102) Right. Mark Hayes (17:57.689) Right. BROCK GANELES (17:58.776) What do we need? 40 year veterans? Come on Cory, don't play that game with us. We're not that stupid anymore. We figured it out. You can't come with the bullshit anymore. Mark Hayes (18:01.794) Right. Right. right. Stop pissing on us and telling us it's raining. And by the way, I know we briefly mentioned these major corporations, their donations, the ones that are working in concert with Trump. I've been able to find some more information on Nike's CEO, Phil Knight, and his donation. It's what, $3 million for Oregon Republicans. Largest donation on record. And it was made to a super PAC or, you know, it went unnoticed last October when it happened. But, you know, again, he's rooting for Oregon Republicans, right? BROCK GANELES (18:51.731) Yeah, he's rooting for he's rooting for ice that to militarize the streets of Portland and tear gas all those protesters. That's that's what he wants in his neighborhood. Right. He's right there in Beaverton. Right. 20 minutes away. That's what he want. That's what he's funding. He's fucking funding that ice masked militia, white supremacy militia on his own fucking streets. What more do you need to know? The Nike boycott started Mark Hayes (19:04.621) Right. Mark Hayes (19:11.661) The ice movement. Yep. Mark Hayes (19:16.769) Yeah, bring BROCK GANELES (19:21.503) fucking two weeks ago. There's no fucking way I'm putting another nickel in his pocket. Mark Hayes (19:23.361) Yeah. Mark Hayes (19:26.795) Right, this is $5 million since April of 23 that he's donated to this Bring Balance to Salem pack, whatever the hell that is, but we know it's pro-Republican or pro-MAGA. So he's full MAGA. I wonder how the black athletes wearing Nikes, who are forced to wear Nikes every night because they got a shoe deal with him, right? What do you do? BROCK GANELES (19:38.379) Mm-hmm. Mark Hayes (19:55.041) You go to Under Armour, you go to Adidas, right? You go to Reebok, right? Or do you continue to help this guy, you know, make millions? I would love to hear what Michael Jordan thinks, right, about his brand, right? Falling under the Nike, under the Nike hat. You know, we know Tiger Woods has sold out. He's actually dating a Trump. You know, what is that all about? You know, the Tigers are phony. BROCK GANELES (20:21.631) Tiger's a fraud. Don't get me started on Tiger. He's a fraud. Mark Hayes (20:24.61) He's a big fucking phony. then, and like, oh, Trump's not a racist. Really? And that Wams Gardner, the Wams Gardner lady, what's her name, who just lost that special election that got swung in Texas by 31 points? It was a plus 17 for Trump, and she lost by 14 points? Yeah, yeah. Trump supported her, and she's the one who said BLM protesters must die. BROCK GANELES (20:54.035) Yeah, good. Political careers over. And now Trump's saying that he never heard of her, by the way, right? After supporting her and trying to push her over the line and getting swamped. I think MAGA knows that Trump's an anchor. Yeah, but we got to look. There's a lot of heat going on the new, you know, that new target as a new CEO stepping in. Fourth largest company in many. Mark Hayes (20:54.945) You know, I mean. Mark Hayes (21:00.532) Right, Mark Hayes (21:06.176) Right. Mark Hayes (21:17.954) I'm not sharpening a target. BROCK GANELES (21:19.775) fourth largest company in Minneapolis and the people in Minneapolis on the streets are going after Target and saying, what's your statement? Where do you stand on what's going on in our city? And we just have to do that everywhere all day on everyone who shows complicity. Tim Cook from Apple was at the fucking Melania documentary premiere. Come on, what the fuck are you doing there? Mark Hayes (21:27.275) Right. Right. EVERYWHERE. Mark Hayes (21:41.635) I'm literally thinking about getting the galaxy, know, Samsung phone and getting rid of my iPhone. Why do I want to support these fuckers? Right? Why do I want to support the people who are trying to take away not just my civil liberties, but yours too? All of our civil liberties because we're not one of the 83 dudes, you know, making the freaking policy around here. that are trying to rape and pillage the countryside for everything they can get their hands on? I mean, they don't believe we should have anything, Brock. They believe they should have it all. And you're a Google search away from knowing whether or not you support one of these people who are trying to absolutely fucking gut your rights as an American citizen. BROCK GANELES (22:37.739) Yeah, there's very few companies that we corporations and corporate leaders in America that we can be proud of or really trust in any way, shape or form. And it's glaring when it comes to like the social media, right? Between Tiktok and Facebook and X and, you know, I'm only really I'm blue sky now. You know, I've well, we got banned from X. So I mean, from Tiktok. So fuck that. Mark Hayes (22:53.791) Yep. Mark Hayes (23:03.598) From X. Yeah. TikTok. BROCK GANELES (23:07.165) I don't understand. mean, everyone has to get off of X. You're supporting Elon Musk. He's a fucking Nazi. He's told us that he's done nasty gestures. He's a white supremacist. He's eugenic. Like he's a hard war. You know, he's like, yeah, he's an apartheid guy. Yeah, we just got to get much harsher about our economic boycotts. We have to challenge every single corporate leader, anyone in the public eye. No one gets a free pass. Mark Hayes (23:10.881) Right. Alright. Mark Hayes (23:19.585) From South Africa. Right? From South Africa. Right. Mark Hayes (23:35.054) At all. BROCK GANELES (23:35.295) And we have to be all over the politicians. Although I think that piece of the puzzle is starting to get taken care of with the, mean, the town halls are just amazing. The town halls are amazing and entertaining. Like they're just pure entertainment. But look, we're coming down, there's like a deadline. I think it's only a week or so away for someone to primary Swazi and no one's done it. And I'm just. Mark Hayes (23:45.756) Right. Swazzy's was awesome. Mark Hayes (24:01.729) That's frustrating. BROCK GANELES (24:02.187) I'm really surprised when no one looks at that and goes, this is a quasi blue district and you got a guy who's Maga light like and you watch what went on in Texas and you think you can't swing that district by saying that you want to abolish ice, that you want universal health care, that you're going to actually you want, you know, a restoration of food stamps. Like there's just like you could just lay out fibers that you're really going to fight for. Mark Hayes (24:08.587) Yeah. Mark Hayes (24:18.154) Right. BROCK GANELES (24:31.263) you know, voting rights. mean, there's this, you know, that you're going to fight for a woman's right to choose. Like you could just hit on like a slate of like 10 easy stances to take that put you to the left of a Magalite politician. And that's where the voters are. That's where the voters are. You don't need money. Texas, outspent 10 to one. Mark Hayes (24:36.924) Women's right to choose. I mean, there's so many things. Mark Hayes (24:47.679) You don't even need money. Yeah. And you don't even need money, brah. You don't even really need money. You can do it with social media. BROCK GANELES (25:01.053) in that state legislature. It's not for money. There's no amount of money you can throw at your election if you're on the side of ICE. There's no argument you can craft. you're just, no one's listening to you. You're done right there. You've lost them at hello. Mark Hayes (25:01.191) Right. Right. And lost. It ain't the money. Mark Hayes (25:15.773) Exactly. Mark Hayes (25:22.397) at all. BROCK GANELES (25:25.331) Right? So either you change your stance, you can throw the money at it, but the voters don't care because they have to turn on their TV or their social media for free and they're seeing the images and that outweighs anything you can say on a commercial. Mark Hayes (25:31.087) Yeah. Mark Hayes (25:35.911) Yep. Mark Hayes (25:39.396) Absolutely. All right, bud. Give me your quick hit. What do you got for me? BROCK GANELES (25:46.011) the Grammys last night was a significantly vocal anti-ice parade of winners, a parade of winners. And that doesn't surprise, A, it doesn't surprise me because musicians are more, right, they're not beholden on someone else to make their money. Mark Hayes (25:48.625) Woo! Mark Hayes (25:56.928) Hooray! Shaboosie! How about Shaboosie? Mark Hayes (26:12.817) Right. Right. BROCK GANELES (26:12.893) or their art. it's not like actors who have to get hired by a director in a studio, right? So they play it safer. Musicians make their music, right? And what are you gonna do about it, right? Someone's gonna play it, right? If it's good, someone's gonna play it. So they're more outspoken. And they were extremely outspoken last night, right? From Bad Bunny to Lady Gaga to Shaboosie to Billie Eilish and... Mark Hayes (26:18.302) Right. Mark Hayes (26:26.089) Right. Right, for Nicki Minaj. Mark Hayes (26:37.875) Billie Eilish. Yep, Kalani. Love it. Love it. BROCK GANELES (26:41.701) on down the line. The funniest thing to me was, so that didn't surprise me. I was happy to see it because as we say all the time, anyone with a platform has to use it. And if you're not and you think there's a middle ground you can play, you are wrong because your silence is complicity for me and I think in you. And I think we speak for a lot of people in America. If you got nothing to say, that just tells me you're in cahoots with MAGA. Mark Hayes (26:51.591) Right, step up. Mark Hayes (27:03.401) you BROCK GANELES (27:10.761) because your silence is in cahoots with MAGA and MAGA means ice right now. But the funniest part to me is when I see the stories of MAGA being angry about the outspokenness, you know, and they try to do the shut up and just play guitar on them. Right? Like they did with LeBron. And it's just like. Mark Hayes (27:10.899) Right. Mark Hayes (27:16.969) Right. Mark Hayes (27:22.975) You Mwahahahah BROCK GANELES (27:34.559) Don't listen to the music then. If you don't like that artist, you don't like what they have to say, okay, don't listen to the music. You go listen to Vanilla Ice and a couple other, and your other country singers and the rest of us, you can go listen to, you go listen to Yee, you know, or whatever. And just don't listen. Mark Hayes (27:44.819) Kid Rock, Ted Nugent. Well, yay issued an apology. Yay issued an apology. BROCK GANELES (27:55.185) I know don't listen to the music that is my take. Don't listen to music. You know, like Billy I was told was the music don't listen to Lady Gaga. Don't listen to Shamoos. know, listen to Bad Bunny. I mean, I don't know how many stations you're have to scroll through your radio pretty quick or your Spotify is gonna have a very narrow selection. If you don't want to listen to left leaning, you know, if you don't want to listen to woke musicians, you don't have many options out there. So in the end, Mark Hayes (28:16.242) Well, I'm not fucking with Spotify anyway. Mark Hayes (28:22.8) Exactly. You still got Ted Nugent. BROCK GANELES (28:25.235) shut the Mark Hayes (28:32.958) Yeah, so did I, so did I. All right, before we get out of here, man, one of the favorite people I met, one of my favorite people that I met in my television career travels was Savannah Guthrie. And I just want to send a shout out and a prayer to her and her family, hoping that she gets her mother back safe and sound. Her mother has been reported missing since Saturday night, police out there. are treating her home as a crime scene. So there hasn't been a lot of detail coming out about it, but that is frightening to hear. So she was last seen in Pima County where she lives out by Tucson. So we're all rooting for Savannah and her mom that she gets home safe and sound and this can all be worked out, but she's 84. BROCK GANELES (29:29.897) That's a terrible idea. Do your mom live alone? Mark Hayes (29:33.338) I believe so. what it sounded like from the accounts. But they were going through security footage trying to figure out what happened. So we're not sure what they saw on the security footage. But they described her as having some physical ailments and limited mobility. So she probably doesn't get around very well at 84. BROCK GANELES (29:38.549) And then. BROCK GANELES (29:59.199) Yeah. That sucks. Mark Hayes (30:00.604) but she's got medication that she needs and it's awful. We went to the Today Show set when I was working at the NBC station up in Cincinnati and she was just an absolute wonderful host. And she was welcoming. She and Matt Lauer were there at the time and was just as sweet as she could be. And you never know with big time folks like that. you know, how they're going to respond to you. You know, I could run off, you know, a list of 10 jerks for you. And, you know, that I met along the way over 30 years. But she stood out because of the way she treated. And we had like a team of five of us. And, you know, they were absolutely cordial to every single one of us. and made us feel right at home, you know, in NBC studios so we could record the things we needed to record and get those things done, man. So, you know, my heart was heavy this morning when I saw her smiling face and they were reading the statement that she had issued. And, you know, you hate to hear about crime and you especially hate to hear about it when, you know, when it happens to really, really good people. And I think it comes across on television, which is what makes her so popular, is the fact that you actually want to sit down and have a beer with her, right? Like she doesn't come across as, know, you know, all-knowing, omniscient type of, you know, I'm above thou personality. you know, she comes across as the girl next door with a whole lot of information that she trusts, right? And so it's, you know, it's just really sad. you know, praying for her and hoping her mom can get home safe and sound. BROCK GANELES (32:10.195) Let's hope it works out. Mark Hayes (32:10.78) Yeah, Sad way to end the show, but good news from the Grammys. Yeah, one more quick hit. Trevor Noah probably needs to lawyer up. Donald Trump has promised to sue him for his comments last night at the Grammys. So that'll bring a smile to our face. I would love to see that discovery. my God. Yep. Like Michael Wolfe. BROCK GANELES (32:14.141) Yeah, we don't need more bad news in America. BROCK GANELES (32:29.739) We had a nickel for every threatened Trump lawsuit. Everyone should just be like, okay, let's go. Let's go and Yeah, and then just ask for depositions on the other side demand information about Epstein or something and then he'll back away because he doesn't want that Conversation to be there. So hopefully some lawyers would you know, just do it pro bono, know I guess Noah's got the money so he can't get buried but like and Mark Hayes (32:46.074) Yeah. Mark Hayes (32:56.87) Right. BROCK GANELES (32:57.437) Challenge Trump every we got to challenge him on every front. So don't don't back down Just stand up to him. I'm sure trouble note Trevor Noah will Mark Hayes (33:00.828) Absolutely. Mark Hayes (33:05.552) no. Yup. Yup. If he should happen to sue. My monies are not. Because Melania's still running. yeah. yeah. Melania's still running from your boy, Michael Wolfe. So we'll see what it is. All right, bro. Good stuff. Talk to you Peace. BROCK GANELES (33:15.731) Nah, I mean it's such bluster bullshit. We've seen the fucking bullshit a thousand times. He's a fraud. BROCK GANELES (33:25.865) Yeah. Right, Mark. Always a pleasure. Okay. Talk to you tomorrow.
