Speaker 1: it all means. It smart Simone on seven ten.
0:09
Speaker 2: Long Heay, we go a lot to get to today.
0:13
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmell gets the biggest insult imaginable. We'll get to that.
0:17
Speaker 2: We'll get to the way. Do you hear what the
0:19
Speaker 2: Democrats are gonna unleash on President Trump? Next, we'll get
0:23
Speaker 2: to that. We'll get to the Ukraine, We'll get to
0:25
Speaker 2: CBS News a lot of changes. We'll get to Bruce
0:28
Speaker 2: Blakeman big announcement this morning. Have a freezing cold outside,
0:33
Speaker 2: colder than Hillary Clinton's smile out there. It is freezing.
0:39
Speaker 2: But you got to give credit to those smokers. I
0:42
Speaker 2: don't care how cold it is when I come there.
0:44
Speaker 2: They are in front of the building out there, going
0:46
Speaker 2: out there to smoke, standing out there in the freezing cold.
0:49
Speaker 2: You see the smoke coming out of their mouth and
0:51
Speaker 2: they haven't even lit the cigarette yet. It's just the
0:53
Speaker 2: freezing cold. So let me just tell you this before
0:58
Speaker 2: anything else. Here's what you're gonna hear the couple of days.
1:00
Speaker 2: They're getting ready to unleash this. The Democrats are going
1:04
Speaker 2: to go after President Trump for mortgage fraud. They think
1:09
Speaker 2: they got him on mortgage fraud. I don't know. Maybe
1:11
Speaker 2: they got some who knows. But they've uncovered documents from
1:15
Speaker 2: the nineties. They had to go back thirty years to
1:19
Speaker 2: find this. But apparently at the time, in the mid nineties,
1:25
Speaker 2: President Trump had mar A Lago then, and he was
1:28
Speaker 2: spending a lot of time in Palm Beach, and he
1:31
Speaker 2: started to buy houses near mar A Lago as they
1:35
Speaker 2: came on the market. A couple of nice houses came
1:37
Speaker 2: on the market, and he bought two of these houses,
1:40
Speaker 2: and he got mortgages from Merrill Lynch and apparently he
1:44
Speaker 2: declared them his primary residence. They would both be his
1:46
Speaker 2: primary residents. So Democrats, they can't investigate anything. You could
1:52
Speaker 2: steal eight billion dollars in fraud in Minnesota, in that Somalia,
1:58
Speaker 2: the fraud home homeless scheme. They won't investigate it. The
2:02
Speaker 2: New York Times won't even mention it. NBC, abccbist, they
2:06
Speaker 2: won't even look at it. They won't. But these Democrats
2:10
Speaker 2: have been going through every document in the history of
2:13
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. They went back to the nineties to find
2:16
Speaker 2: these mortgage documents. They think they got them on mortgage fraud.
2:22
Speaker 2: Exactly the same thing as Letitia James. I don't know.
2:24
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Merrill Lynch, which is now owned
2:28
Speaker 2: by Bank of America, it's been contacted by the Democrats
2:33
Speaker 2: and asked for copies of this mortgage, and they said
2:37
Speaker 2: it's forty years ago. Now thirty years ago. It's thirty
2:40
Speaker 2: years ago, thirty two years ago. They said, we don't
2:42
Speaker 2: even keep these, we don't keep the documents. Thirty two
2:45
Speaker 2: years we don't even have to have. So, well, you're
2:47
Speaker 2: gonna start hearing about this mortgage fraud by Donald Trump.
2:50
Speaker 2: Let's see if this amounts to anything. Let's see if
2:52
Speaker 2: the documents are real. Let's see if any of this
2:55
Speaker 2: actually pans out. The President will be going to the
2:59
Speaker 2: Pocono's today. Why is that? I think there's a casino there.
3:03
Speaker 2: He's going to he's going to talk about affordability, he's
3:06
Speaker 2: going to talk about the yet to remember. The one
3:09
Speaker 2: thing that's really going to make a difference, cerebrity, are
3:11
Speaker 2: these tax cuts, biggest tax cuts in history, and they
3:15
Speaker 2: haven't kicked in yet. They don't start till January. So
3:19
Speaker 2: everybody because of the tax cuts gets a huge wage
3:22
Speaker 2: increase starting in January, a smaller tax bill. It'll make
3:27
Speaker 2: a huge difference in the economy. Now, if this is
3:31
Speaker 2: what we're going through right now, the economy is pretty
3:32
Speaker 2: good right now, It's actually pretty good. Don't buy the
3:35
Speaker 2: fake news. Wages are actually rising all year long. Wages
3:39
Speaker 2: have been rising at a much faster pace. Prices have
3:41
Speaker 2: been going down all year and that's what you want.
3:46
Speaker 2: That's how you get back to normal. Remember, you had
3:48
Speaker 2: the worst inflation under Biden, worst inflation in fifty years. Actually,
3:52
Speaker 2: some say the worst inflation in history for middle class consumers.
3:57
Speaker 2: So you can't expect that to get fixed in ten months.
4:00
Speaker 2: It could take a year and a half to fix that.
4:02
Speaker 2: But great progress has been made again, Wages are rising fast,
4:06
Speaker 2: prices are coming down. So if right now what we
4:10
Speaker 2: got is an affordability crisis, that means we had five
4:15
Speaker 2: times the affordability crisis under Biden, and the same media
4:18
Speaker 2: never mentioned it, never even brought it up. But he'll
4:21
Speaker 2: uh one of the things he told you about this
4:23
Speaker 2: last week. One of the things they've decided is that
4:26
Speaker 2: the president has to go back into campaign mode. He's
4:29
Speaker 2: going to need to do that a lot. In twenty
4:31
Speaker 2: twenty six, for the midterms, but they've decided he'd better
4:34
Speaker 2: start doing it now. One of the problems is he
4:36
Speaker 2: redid the White House, and it's beautiful. If you look
4:40
Speaker 2: at the Oval Office, he made it so palatial and
4:43
Speaker 2: so ornate, with the gold all over the walls and
4:47
Speaker 2: just incredible. It looks like Versailles. It looks incredible, and
4:51
Speaker 2: it's good because when you bring in foreign leaders, this
4:53
Speaker 2: is the impression you want to make. You don't want
4:55
Speaker 2: it to look like a cold municipal building. You want
4:58
Speaker 2: it to look really impressive because these foreign leaders, they
5:01
Speaker 2: work in palaces, they work in the most unbelievable luxurious place,
5:06
Speaker 2: So you can't have them come here and think you're
5:09
Speaker 2: working in this dumpy building. So that's why he did that.
5:11
Speaker 2: It makes sense. But there's been a side effect to
5:16
Speaker 2: this psychologically. You know, people always thought of him as just,
5:20
Speaker 2: you know, kind of the blue collar billionaire. You know,
5:23
Speaker 2: you remember him on the garbage truck during the campaign,
5:25
Speaker 2: remember him working in McDonald's. Even the rallies, they were
5:28
Speaker 2: always in blue collar sort of aerials areas. You know,
5:31
Speaker 2: they're at in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. They're
5:34
Speaker 2: in Wildwood, New Jersey. They weren't in fancy places, so
5:39
Speaker 2: he looked like a real man of the people in
5:41
Speaker 2: those settings. But now all you see is him in
5:43
Speaker 2: this gold all over or Nate gold Oval office. It
5:47
Speaker 2: makes him look it's king like the setting. So they
5:50
Speaker 2: decided he better get back on the campaign trail. People
5:53
Speaker 2: better see him back in these regular settings, blue collar settings,
5:56
Speaker 2: you know, out there with the people. So he goes
5:59
Speaker 2: to the Pocono around six o'clock tonight, he'll make a
6:02
Speaker 2: speech there. Casinos there, so imagine it's going to also
6:06
Speaker 2: focus on no tax on tips, which will make a
6:09
Speaker 2: huge difference for a lot of people. So that's tonight
6:13
Speaker 2: he'll you'll see more of that coming up. Pete hag Ziff,
6:17
Speaker 2: I think that's I think they're starting to figure out
6:19
Speaker 2: that's going nowhere. I think they're starting to realize it's
6:22
Speaker 2: not going to work. It's not going any place. You
6:24
Speaker 2: can look at the you know, they keep fighting to
6:28
Speaker 2: release the video. It seems like the Epstein files. There's
6:30
Speaker 2: always something the Trump administers holds back just to taunt
6:34
Speaker 2: these people. You know, it's like a little baby hold
6:36
Speaker 2: something in front of him and as he reaches he
6:38
Speaker 2: pull it away. It's what they're doing in the Democratic Party.
6:40
Speaker 2: They chase this Epstein files. There's nothing in these Epstein
6:43
Speaker 2: files that you don't already know. And the same thing
6:46
Speaker 2: with this video. There's nothing in the video you don't
6:48
Speaker 2: already know. And the problem is, if you look at
6:51
Speaker 2: the video, Democrats look ridiculous with their fishing boat. Theory
6:55
Speaker 2: fishing boat. I'm looking at the video. This boat has
6:59
Speaker 2: four of the most powerful outboard motors on the back
7:02
Speaker 2: of it, and those four would cost about one hundred
7:05
Speaker 2: and eighty thousand dollars. And when you see the video
7:09
Speaker 2: with the four outboards, super high powered outboards going, this
7:13
Speaker 2: boat is going like one hundred and eighty miles through
7:15
Speaker 2: the water in the middle of the night. That's not
7:17
Speaker 2: a fishing boat. No fishing boat needs to go one
7:20
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty miles an hour. It just looks ridiculous.
7:22
Speaker 2: It's clearly a drug boat. So they'll fight for these videos.
7:26
Speaker 2: Eventually they'll get released, and then the Democrats will look stupid.
7:29
Speaker 2: And I think they realized the hecsis stuff. They've tried it,
7:32
Speaker 2: it's not going to work. It's going nowhere. They keep
7:34
Speaker 2: asking Trump whatever Hexeth wants to do is okay with you?
7:37
Speaker 1: He now said, it's under review. Are you ordering the
7:39
Speaker 1: secretary to release that full video?
7:41
Speaker 2: Whatever he designs is okay with me. So every boat
7:44
Speaker 2: we knock out of the water, every boat we saved
7:46
Speaker 2: twenty five thousand American lives. That was a boat loaded
7:50
Speaker 2: up with drugs. I saw the video. They were trying
7:53
Speaker 2: to turn the boat back to where it could float,
7:57
Speaker 2: and we didn't want to see that. I remember everything
8:00
Speaker 2: they accused Trump of, every horrible, awful scandal thing they find.
8:04
Speaker 2: It's common practice for every president. Obama was blowing up
8:07
Speaker 2: people all over the world with his drones and in
8:10
Speaker 2: the process killed a lot of innocent civilians. If you
8:14
Speaker 2: go to my Twitter, you will find video up there today.
8:19
Speaker 2: It's Obama making a speech. Apparently it was slict a
8:22
Speaker 2: little flack about all the civilians he was blowing up
8:25
Speaker 2: while going after Narco terrorists. He was, you know, you
8:29
Speaker 2: can't help it. You're gonna hit some civilians. Remember once
8:31
Speaker 2: even bombed a wedding. So it's a video of Obama saying, look,
8:37
Speaker 2: it's terrible that civilians are getting killed during these bombings.
8:40
Speaker 2: He said, something will haunt us for the rest of
8:42
Speaker 2: our lives, but it has to be done because we're
8:45
Speaker 2: saving millions of lives by and if we have to
8:47
Speaker 2: lose a few citizens in the process, it's going to
8:50
Speaker 2: have So now this is Obama. Remember he said Democrat,
8:53
Speaker 2: So this was considered very noble of him. He was
8:56
Speaker 2: so noble to say this. Now Trump does exactly the
8:59
Speaker 2: same thing. He's a war criminal, He's a Nazi. He's
9:02
Speaker 2: this that. Hey, Bruce Blakeman announced he was on Fox
9:07
Speaker 2: and Friends. It was said that he would announced today.
9:11
Speaker 2: He should have known that he's going on Fox and Friends,
9:13
Speaker 2: that he would do it there. I think he surprised everybody.
9:15
Speaker 2: We're expecting an announcement later today, but this morning on
9:19
Speaker 2: Fox and Friends, the biggest most watched morning show, Blakeman announced, I'm.
9:24
Speaker 3: Very honored and proud that I'm going to be on
9:26
Speaker 3: Fox and Friends with you right now to announce that
9:28
Speaker 3: I'm running for governor of the state of New York.
9:30
Speaker 3: I'm seeking the Republican and Conservative nominations. We want to
9:34
Speaker 3: put New York first. We want to make it more affordable,
9:36
Speaker 3: we want to make New York safer, and we want
9:38
Speaker 3: to make people in New York happy again.
9:40
Speaker 2: Now, Blakeman is the greatest county executive in America by far.
9:45
Speaker 2: County executive is like a governor. He's the governor of
9:47
Speaker 2: the county, so he's obviously extremely qualified to be governor.
9:53
Speaker 2: He'll do a phenomenal job. He's proven that in the
9:55
Speaker 2: last four years. All he's got to do is the
9:56
Speaker 2: same exact thing for the whole state. And that's what
9:59
Speaker 2: he was talking about. We're gonna win.
10:01
Speaker 3: We're gonna win because in Nassau County, which is a
10:04
Speaker 3: mirror image of New York State, the demographics are almost
10:07
Speaker 3: the same. I got almost a third of the African
10:10
Speaker 3: American vote, when most Republicans only get like nine percent.
10:13
Speaker 3: I got fifty six percent of the Hispanic American votes.
10:16
Speaker 3: I got independent women, I've got independent men, crossover democrats.
10:20
Speaker 3: We won by thirty six thousand votes in a county
10:23
Speaker 3: with one hundred and ten thousand more Democrats.
10:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, now people will sit well, at least the phonic
10:27
Speaker 2: you know, he's great, at least the fun she's a
10:30
Speaker 2: fighter's yeah, yes she is. But Blakeman has a track
10:33
Speaker 2: record of actual, real accomplishment as a governor of Nassau County.
10:37
Speaker 3: Real accomplishment I'm ready for the fight, and I'm going
10:40
Speaker 3: to fight for New Yorkers. I'm going to make sure
10:42
Speaker 3: that we do have economic prosperity. I'm fighting for your
10:45
Speaker 3: children and your grandchildren so that they have a bright future.
10:48
Speaker 3: We're going to create prosperity. We're going to make New
10:50
Speaker 3: York safer. We're going to make it the Empire state again.
10:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was watching. He was on a bunch of
10:56
Speaker 2: TV shows this morning. One of these shows they thought
10:57
Speaker 2: they had him. You know, you sailed fix the state.
11:01
Speaker 2: You'll do better than care. What would you do that?
11:03
Speaker 2: Kathy Hokal hasn't done name one thing. Well, he rattled
11:05
Speaker 2: up like twelve right away that were all great, I'll
11:08
Speaker 2: get rid of no bail, no jail, I'll do this,
11:10
Speaker 2: I'll do that. Now what does Trump do? President Trump
11:14
Speaker 2: has been backing a last stephonic for this. But he
11:18
Speaker 2: loves Bruce Blakeman, and well he's asked about it.
11:23
Speaker 1: At least is among those who is running for near governor.
11:30
Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, who you also know are you planning on
11:33
Speaker 1: making any endorsements for?
11:35
Speaker 2: He's great and she's great. They're both great people. We
11:38
Speaker 2: have a lot of great people at the Republican Party. Yeah. Now,
11:41
Speaker 2: Trump loves them both, but he's known Blakeman a lot longer.
11:45
Speaker 2: And let's put it this way. If he didn't know
11:48
Speaker 2: these two people, if he had no idea who they were,
11:51
Speaker 2: and Trump was the CEO and had to hire somebody
11:55
Speaker 2: to run New York and he brought these two strangers,
11:58
Speaker 2: and he would go with Blakeman, would look at their
12:00
Speaker 2: records and say, well, they're both good. But you're a legislator,
12:03
Speaker 2: and you are brilliant at the legislating and at hearings
12:08
Speaker 2: in the Congress, you're great. But Blakeman is a manager,
12:11
Speaker 2: he's a governor, and he's got a track record. He's
12:15
Speaker 2: got the experience doing exactly the stuff this job needs.
12:18
Speaker 2: You don't at least defined. So that's I don't know
12:22
Speaker 2: what he does. Because the other problem is they've promised
12:26
Speaker 2: at least deefonic all sorts of stuff over the last year.
12:28
Speaker 2: You know, do this, do that, and we'll you know,
12:30
Speaker 2: we'll So he's got a problem there, but Trump will
12:33
Speaker 2: figure it out, and I would assume in the end
12:36
Speaker 2: he's going to back Bruce Blakeman. So anyway, we'll get
12:40
Speaker 2: back to that. Now, the other thing is the Republican Party.
12:43
Speaker 2: There's a New York Republican Party. They say, well, it's
12:46
Speaker 2: at least dephonic, we're not having a primary. But this
12:49
Speaker 2: Republican Party, they're very nice people in New York. But
12:52
Speaker 2: the party is like a little tiny thing with three
12:55
Speaker 2: people in it, and they don't raise much money, and
12:57
Speaker 2: they're not much of a force New York at all,
13:00
Speaker 2: as you saw in the Marrial race. They're not much
13:02
Speaker 2: of a force. So Blakeman has a Republican Party in
13:05
Speaker 2: Nasau County that's actually raised more money than the state
13:08
Speaker 2: Republican Party, that's probably more powerful. So that's going to
13:12
Speaker 2: count for a lot. Uh Ooh. Jimmy Kimmel, Now this
13:18
Speaker 2: is supposed to make him look good. You know, there
13:21
Speaker 2: was tremendous controversy. He was suspended, he was going to
13:24
Speaker 2: get fired. They were getting rid of them. They were
13:26
Speaker 2: going to fire him. They didn't fire him, They kept them.
13:30
Speaker 2: ABC brought him back. Everything's great, you're back. Well, this
13:36
Speaker 2: the whole idea of this thing now was to make
13:38
Speaker 2: it look like Jimmy Kimmel is all set. You're going
13:43
Speaker 2: to see the headlines all over the fake news late
13:45
Speaker 2: night host Jimmy Kimmel has been re signed signs a
13:49
Speaker 2: big new contract with ABC to continue as the late
13:54
Speaker 2: night host. Now you're thinking, wow, everything's great. They re
13:59
Speaker 2: signed him. Not really, not really. This is one of
14:02
Speaker 2: the greatest hoaxes ever. Fake news not reporting this. They
14:06
Speaker 2: signed them to the most insulting contract in the history
14:10
Speaker 2: of late night. Nobody has ever been insulted like this
14:14
Speaker 2: in late night TV. When you sign a contract, a
14:17
Speaker 2: television contract, it's always five years. It's a five year contract.
14:21
Speaker 2: If sometimes it's ten years, like in the case of Oprah,
14:24
Speaker 2: it would be a ten year deal. When you're really
14:26
Speaker 2: big and established for years, like Regis would get like
14:29
Speaker 2: a ten year deal, but it's always a five year deal.
14:32
Speaker 2: Network always wants that. It protects them too, because if
14:35
Speaker 2: you get you know, when you're really big, well for
14:37
Speaker 2: five years, you got your salary locked in. You won't
14:40
Speaker 2: be able to hold them up up for more money.
14:43
Speaker 2: They just resigned Kimmel to a one year extension. It's
14:48
Speaker 2: not a new contract, it's a one year extension. That
14:50
Speaker 2: is the most insulting thing you can do to somebody.
14:54
Speaker 2: It's really insulting. Nobody has ever had this happen in
14:58
Speaker 2: late night it's always a five year contract. Now, once
15:01
Speaker 2: in a while, you get a host who doesn't want
15:02
Speaker 2: five years, he'll beg for a three year contract. That way,
15:06
Speaker 2: he's got a little flexibility. But the only other time
15:10
Speaker 2: this ever happened in the history of late night TV
15:12
Speaker 2: was Johnny Carson, and it's the reason he left the
15:15
Speaker 2: Tonight Show. He was so insulted by it he left
15:17
Speaker 2: the Tonight Show. It was nineteen ninety one. Carson every
15:23
Speaker 2: five years would sign a new contract, and it was
15:26
Speaker 2: a ritual. Every five years, he and his manager, Ed
15:29
Speaker 2: hook Stratton, his agent, would go to a nice restaurant
15:33
Speaker 2: in Beverly Hills called the Grill, which was a big
15:36
Speaker 2: business lunch kind of place. They would go to the Grill,
15:39
Speaker 2: Hook Stratton and Carson and have lunch with the NBC
15:42
Speaker 2: executives who would bring the new five year contract. They
15:45
Speaker 2: would sign it, have a cordial lunch, and that was it.
15:48
Speaker 2: And that's all he had to do with NBC every
15:50
Speaker 2: five years. Well, in ninety one, they went to the
15:53
Speaker 2: lunch to sign the new five year contract and the
15:56
Speaker 2: NBC executive said, Shannie, what would you think of a
16:01
Speaker 2: one year contract? And Carson with decades of experience in
16:07
Speaker 2: show business knew exactly what that meant, and he calculated
16:11
Speaker 2: real fast in his head that this was the biggest insult.
16:14
Speaker 2: They were trying to push him out, which is actually
16:16
Speaker 2: kind of what they were So, without blinking, without hesitating,
16:21
Speaker 2: he said, well, to tell you the truth, we actually
16:23
Speaker 2: came here to tell you I'm resigning. I'm leaving the
16:25
Speaker 2: Tonight Show. Hookstratton stunned, but he played along quickly. He goes, yes,
16:29
Speaker 2: that's why we are here to tell you we're leaving,
16:32
Speaker 2: which really shook up the NBC executive. But Carson said, yeah,
16:35
Speaker 2: that's it. We decided this, and we came here to
16:37
Speaker 2: tell you I'm going to leave the Tonight Show. If
16:40
Speaker 2: you want me to do this final year, we'll do
16:41
Speaker 2: one final year. But he left because there was nothing
16:45
Speaker 2: more insulting than a one year extension instead of a
16:48
Speaker 2: real contract. So Kimmel has received the biggest insult you
16:52
Speaker 2: can receive. Carson quit over it. Kimmel will not have
16:57
Speaker 2: the courage or the principle over it. So but it
17:01
Speaker 2: is insulting. Anyway, we got a lot to get to today.
17:03
Speaker 2: We'll take some calls in a moment. Eight hundred three

Speaker 2: Now for the younger people out there, they don't know
19:55
Speaker 2: Mildred Pierce. It was a great movie with Joan Crawford,

20:00
Speaker 2: Twinkies commercials in the seventies.
20:03
Speaker 4: Well, another one, mark two more. The other one is

20:09
Speaker 4: and she's still alive and she didn't win it in
20:12
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy five. Her name is Lee Grant. She just
20:14
Speaker 4: turned one hundred.
20:15
Speaker 2: Oh that's right. I knew Lee Grant when she was
20:18
Speaker 2: Let's see twenty years ago. She've been in Josh, you've
20:20
Speaker 2: been in eighty.
20:21
Speaker 4: Then she won for for Shampoo in nineteen seventy five
20:26
Speaker 4: and the last one.
20:26

20:36
Speaker 2: She there, that's phenomenal in.

Speaker 2: north By, Northwest with Carrie Grant. Wow, still a lot
20:57
Speaker 2: one hundred and one. Yeah, Lee Grant is in And
21:00
Speaker 2: before Colombo became a series, they did a movie. It
21:05
Speaker 2: was made for TV movie that didn't take off as
21:08
Speaker 2: a series, so two years later they did a second movie.
21:11
Speaker 2: This time it started Lee Grant, who was one of
21:13
Speaker 2: the best Columbo villains because there's a great scene where
21:16
Speaker 2: she just looks at him and she said, you know, Colombo,
21:19
Speaker 2: you're almost likable in a shabby sort of way. He
21:23
Speaker 2: goes you les, you say Saunter her in here with
21:27
Speaker 2: your shop worn bag of tricks. It's a great speech.
21:32
Speaker 2: Let's go to Alan yonkers Al. How you doing good? Mark?
21:36
Speaker 5: Nice speaking to you, Mark. You know I wanted to say,
21:38
Speaker 5: like yourself, I think Bruce Blakeman is a great county executive.
21:42
Speaker 5: When he won three four years ago, he was an upset.
21:46
Speaker 5: He wasn't supposed to win. The only thing is I
21:50
Speaker 5: don't know. I'm going to vote for him if he runs,
21:53
Speaker 5: if you know, if he goes to that Pye mariy,
21:56
Speaker 5: I just don't know if it's detrimental that he represents
21:59
Speaker 5: so to wealthy County.
22:05
Speaker 2: It's like any other county. There's very very poor areas,
22:07
Speaker 2: there's wealthy areas. It's quite a mixture. In Nasau County.
22:10
Speaker 2: It's just like Rick State. You know, you said Garden City, right,
22:13
Speaker 2: you say that's wealthy. Okay, two feet out of Garden
22:17
Speaker 2: City in Hempstead and it's not so wealthy. I mean,
22:20
Speaker 2: it's a it's a perfect blend of every income level
22:24
Speaker 2: in Nasau County.
22:25
Speaker 5: No, I agree with you, and I just told he
22:27
Speaker 5: was able to get that upstate Republican vote. You need that,
22:31
Speaker 5: like Governor Pataki, to get over the top.
22:33
Speaker 2: Well, he'll do pretty well. Bruce Blakeman's for you know,
22:36
Speaker 2: we'll ask, We'll ask. Nassau County resident Bill O'Reilly next
22:40
Speaker 2: on seven to ten w R.
22:43
Speaker 1: Now more Marximo on seven.
22:46
Speaker 2: Ten R Well. The number one TV A decades, the
22:51
Speaker 2: number one best selling non fiction author on Earth, Bill
22:54
Speaker 2: O'Reilly yet his latest book, Confronting Evil. Actually, if you
22:58
Speaker 2: want to do some great Christmas shopping all his books,
23:00
Speaker 2: there's great deals. Just go to Bill O'Reilly dot com.
23:03
Speaker 2: You get the TV show there. Also, his YouTube channel
23:06
Speaker 2: has great stuff on it Bill O'Reilly dot com. Bill O'Reilly,
23:10
Speaker 2: how you doing.
23:12
Speaker 6: I'm cold? Uh oh breezy here in the Big Apple correct.
23:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, those people in Florida they don't appreciate
23:22
Speaker 2: any sunshine because they have it all year. Winter makes
23:25
Speaker 2: us appreciate everything and it's beautiful.
23:28
Speaker 6: So I like, you know, the change of weather. If
23:33
Speaker 6: you go to Florida, it's either going to be hot
23:35
Speaker 6: and humid or rainy.
23:37
Speaker 4: That's it.
23:39
Speaker 2: Hey, you're a Nassau County resident. What do you think
23:41
Speaker 2: of Bruce Blakeman running for governor?
23:44
Speaker 6: Long shot? Done a nice job with the county, no
23:48
Speaker 6: doubt about that organized county law enforcement's excellent here. He's
23:55
Speaker 6: kept taxes, hasn't dropped them, but no expansion of them.
24:01
Speaker 6: So that helps retirees and people with property tax situations.
24:08
Speaker 6: So he's got a record to run on, No question,
24:13
Speaker 6: tough because he tied into Trump and New York State
24:17
Speaker 6: is not, you know, friendly to the President at this point.
24:22
Speaker 6: But look, I applaud anybody who wants to improve the
24:27
Speaker 6: situations of Americans. So we're going to watch it closely.
24:32
Speaker 6: It's gonna be interesting with Stephanic because she'll run two
24:37
Speaker 6: I hope they don't carve each other up.
24:39
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, President Trump's going back into campaign mode. He's
24:43
Speaker 2: going to the Poconos today. Now you met with him
24:45
Speaker 2: last week. Did you tell him he should get back
24:47
Speaker 2: into Yeah, yeah, tell us about that.
24:51
Speaker 6: It wasn't an extensive it was. Look, he was mad
24:54
Speaker 6: at me for analyzing the price situation in America. I
25:00
Speaker 6: looked at him and said, listen, my job is to
25:02
Speaker 6: tell the truth, not to root for any political party
25:06
Speaker 6: or ideology. And I've done that for fifty years and
25:10
Speaker 6: that's why I'm successful. There is an audience, so all
25:14
Speaker 6: I want to hear is what they believe. I understand that,
25:17
Speaker 6: but I've never done that ever in a million years
25:19
Speaker 6: would I do it. So the deficit that President Trump
25:25
Speaker 6: has now is that the perception is the country is
25:30
Speaker 6: too expensive. And he has been through this before in
25:34
Speaker 6: seventeen when the Republicans got waxed in the midterms. So
25:39
Speaker 6: all I said was on the air and off the air.
25:44
Speaker 6: The Trump administration has got to be very specific in
25:48
Speaker 6: how it is going to try to bring prices down.
25:52
Speaker 6: That's it. And I reiterated that I'm looking out for
25:57
Speaker 6: him by telling him that because that is the over
26:01
Speaker 6: arch big issue. Nothing else is going to matter. Immigration's
26:05
Speaker 6: under control. That is what is going to make or
26:09
Speaker 6: break the midterms next year.
26:11
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, he redid the Oval Office with the gold
26:14
Speaker 2: and I understand why he did it. It's a great thing.
26:16
Speaker 2: But when people see him in this ornate, sparkling gold,
26:20
Speaker 2: it makes him look very elite. It was better when
26:22
Speaker 2: they saw him on the garbage truck or in McDonald's.
26:24
Speaker 2: So does he realize he should?
26:26
Speaker 6: Yeah? I don't know. I mean, look, stunts are stunts.
26:30
Speaker 6: He did the redesign of the White House and it's magnificent.
26:34
Speaker 6: I have to say, I'll be going there for twenty
26:36
Speaker 6: five years. Best I've ever seen it was last Wednesday,
26:40
Speaker 6: and at Christmas decorations were great. But he wants to
26:43
Speaker 6: send a message that we are the top of the chart,
26:47
Speaker 6: that everything that we have is excellent, if you want
26:51
Speaker 6: to use that word. And you walk into the White House,
26:54
Speaker 6: it's stunning. It's so clean, everything sparkles. The improvements that
26:59
Speaker 6: he's mad putting up. The presidential portraits in the Rose
27:03
Speaker 6: Garden area are terrific. So I understand the psychology. And
27:11
Speaker 6: you walk into anybody's house if it's overwhelmingly nice, you're impressed.
27:17
Speaker 6: And it's also a power signal that we are, you know,
27:21
Speaker 6: a very prosperous nation. And now you're in the big time.
27:26
Speaker 6: You go to Yankee Stadium, you're in the big time.
27:30
Speaker 6: You go to Sacramento Stadium, you're not. Okay, that's as
27:35
Speaker 6: clear as I can make it.
27:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, bill, O'Reilly. This Minnesota fraud billions literally billions missing.
27:45
Speaker 2: If you want to see how faked the fake news is.
27:48
Speaker 2: Where's the investigation on this? Why aren't they looking into this?
27:52
Speaker 6: Well? The irony of this whole thing is that what
27:57
Speaker 6: President Trump said in the beginning of the immigration controversy
28:01
Speaker 6: is all coming true, he and this is harsh. He said,
28:06
Speaker 6: there are certain people who come here that hurt the country,
28:11
Speaker 6: and why should we let them in? Why should they
28:13
Speaker 6: stay if they're hurting the country. So Somalia, if you
28:17
Speaker 6: don't understand, the country is really not a country. It's
28:21
Speaker 6: run by tribes, it's run by terrorists. And we accepted
28:24
Speaker 6: millions of Somalis the United States to give them freedom
28:29
Speaker 6: and a chance of a good life. And they turn
28:31
Speaker 6: around and it's all Somali in Minnesota and steal a
28:36
Speaker 6: billion dollars. So I'd be a little cranky too. Why
28:41
Speaker 6: we're the president Yet when he calls him out on it,
28:45
Speaker 6: he's a racist. That's how the president spends it because
28:50
Speaker 6: Somalis are black. No, he's telling the truth. Truth is harsh.
28:57
Speaker 6: As Jack Nicholson once said, you can't handle them. Okay,
29:02
Speaker 6: So to me, I want this kind of exposure. And
29:06
Speaker 6: here's the kicker, this fraud, massive fraud, A billion dollars
29:11
Speaker 6: in a state of only six million people, that's all.
29:14
Speaker 6: There are more people okay in New York City than
29:20
Speaker 6: in our entire state of Minnesota. Wow, okay, So who
29:26
Speaker 6: broke the story? Colonel is from the Manhattan Institute, not Wall's,
29:31
Speaker 6: the governor, not the Attorney general. They wouldn't let it
29:36
Speaker 6: go on forever. They weren't even looking. And don't tell
29:40
Speaker 6: me they didn't know. Come on, So Minnesota is the
29:46
Speaker 6: second most generous if you want to use that word.
29:51
Speaker 6: With our money, simone's money, in O'Reilly's money, our money,
29:57
Speaker 6: tax money goes to Minnesota, where more than half the
30:01
Speaker 6: population is on some kind of welfare. There's second in
30:07
Speaker 6: the in the country on welfare payments, behind Massachusetts, even
30:12
Speaker 6: more than in New York City, in California. It's insane,
30:16
Speaker 6: but this is the system. They want government dependence, and
30:20
Speaker 6: that's what Minnesota hats.
30:22
Speaker 2: Wow, mayware just about out a time, Bill O'Reilly. Somebody
30:26
Speaker 2: wants to do their Christmas shopping. You got your books
30:30
Speaker 2: are the huge bestsellers, great gifts. What can they get
30:32
Speaker 2: at Bill oreilly dot com.
30:35
Speaker 6: Well I did this for a reason.
30:39
Speaker 4: You know.
30:40
Speaker 6: We use the money that we get in the Bill
30:42
Speaker 6: O'Reilly dot com Christmas store to get bonuses to my staff.
30:46
Speaker 6: All right, yeah, and we keep the prices artificially low.
30:51
Speaker 6: I think we're the only corporation in America that does that.
30:56
Speaker 6: Because most of my viewers and listeners are working people.
31:03
Speaker 6: So I put together a bundle of fifteen books thirteen killing,
31:07
Speaker 6: two confronting for a very low price. You buy fifteen books,
31:12
Speaker 6: you got fifteen gifts. All right, all right, just do
31:15
Speaker 6: the math. You're saving hundreds of bucks. I appreciate you
31:20
Speaker 6: mentioning them, Mark, Thank you.
31:21
Speaker 2: So these books are like the Costco hot Dog, which
31:24
Speaker 2: is the finest hot dog in America. Costco takes a
31:26
Speaker 2: loss on it because it gets people in the store and.
31:29
Speaker 6: Something like that. But I already have millions of people
31:33
Speaker 6: in the door. I don't need any more in the door.
31:35
Speaker 6: I'd love to have them, but that's not where we are.
31:39
Speaker 6: But when the people spend money on bill O'Reilly dockround,
31:42
Speaker 6: the money goes to my employees, and they're well paid anyway.
31:47
Speaker 6: But you know, these are younger people. They're trying to
31:50
Speaker 6: mass some money to buy a home and things like that.
31:52
Speaker 6: So that's how I designed the thing. I got enough money,
31:56
Speaker 6: and I'm not a money guy anyway, you know me.
31:58
Speaker 6: I'm not striking around Ferrari and all lad I don't
32:02
Speaker 6: care about any of that.
32:03
Speaker 2: No, it's a Lamborghini, but that's Okay, no, Lamborghini.
32:08
Speaker 6: But footy years ago. Now I don't. I have a
32:11
Speaker 6: ten year old catalanc That's what I drive. It's the
32:16
Speaker 6: best car in the road.
