Hour 2: Andrew Cuomo's new radio show. · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Mister New York marks them upon seven to ten wor.
0:06
Speaker 2: Well, hey, we'll get to the Grammy Awards coming up.
0:09
Speaker 2: Scotch Shannon will be with us a little later on
0:12
Speaker 2: this hour, and we'll get to President Trump's weekend. You know,
0:14
Speaker 2: there's a partial government shutdown in effect right now. What
0:19
Speaker 2: they did was they separated. They voted to fund everything
0:22
Speaker 2: except Department of Homeland Security. Now, if you don't fund
0:26
Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security, well there's a lot of stuff
0:29
Speaker 2: in there. The TSA is in that Secret Service, all
0:32
Speaker 2: of that's in there. So the effect is all services continue,
0:37
Speaker 2: some of the workers not getting paid. They expect to
0:41
Speaker 2: have that settled. I don't know by Wednesday. This partial
0:45
Speaker 2: government shutdown. Reason, you have to mention the government shutdown,
0:49
Speaker 2: otherwise nobody would notice because nothing really really changes. The
0:54
Speaker 2: Clintons might have a big legal problem. They are called
0:58
Speaker 2: to testify with a subpoena. They were called to testify
1:01
Speaker 2: in front of Congress and they didn't show up. They
1:04
Speaker 2: refuse to answer the subpoena. That's a crime. It's criminal.
1:08
Speaker 2: You can go to prison for it. Just ask Steve
1:10
Speaker 2: Bannon or Peter Navarro. People have been sent to jail
1:13
Speaker 2: for that. The Clintons didn't care. They did it, and
1:16
Speaker 2: now they've are going to be held in contempt at Congress.
1:19
Speaker 2: They are in contempt to Congress, but Congress has to
1:22
Speaker 2: vote on whether to demand the Justice Department arrest the Clintons.
1:27
Speaker 2: The vote will take place probably tomorrow. Here's the problem
1:31
Speaker 2: for the Clintons. The Democrats will vote to go after
1:35
Speaker 2: the Clintons. Most of these young Democrats do not have
1:37
Speaker 2: any regard for Bill or Hillary Clinton. These are old
1:40
Speaker 2: dinosaurs from another era. In fact, in the first round
1:45
Speaker 2: of voting to hold them in contempt, about eight Democrats
1:48
Speaker 2: voted to go after the Clintons. So they're going to
1:50
Speaker 2: have the same problem. And Hakim Jeffreys refuses to get
1:54
Speaker 2: involved in this vote. He's supposed to be the Democratic
1:57
Speaker 2: leader in the House to try to do something to
2:00
Speaker 2: help the Clintons, but he's kind of made it clear
2:02
Speaker 2: he's not gonna do it. He thinks it's a losing
2:04
Speaker 2: cause and he doesn't want to ruin his reputation losing
2:08
Speaker 2: this battle. So it looks like the Clintons will be
2:10
Speaker 2: in serious legal jeopardy unless they settle this negotiate some
2:14
Speaker 2: kind of settlement. So Democrats privately urging the Clintons negotiate
2:21
Speaker 2: something because we'll vote against you. Interesting the Democrats, many
2:25
Speaker 2: of them, have no interest in helping Bill or Hillary
2:28
Speaker 2: Clinton anymore. So watch for that to happen tomorrow. It's
2:32
Speaker 2: got to happen by Wednesday, or the Clintons are in
2:34
Speaker 2: big legal trouble. Now, why do you have ICE running
2:39
Speaker 2: around chasing after the book, Because you've got a lot
2:43
Speaker 2: of illegals who are dangerous criminals who if Ice doesn't
2:48
Speaker 2: come get him, local authorities will do nothing about him.
2:51
Speaker 2: Here's a perfect example right here in New York City.
2:54
Speaker 2: Here's an illegal alien who's a dangerous criminal, crack smoking,
2:59
Speaker 2: sexual predator. He's been wanted by ICE, but he gets
3:03
Speaker 2: picked up all the time in Manhattan on all kinds
3:07
Speaker 2: of crimes. He was taken into a Manhattan courthouse last week.
3:11
Speaker 2: Now listen to this. Gerardo Miguel Mora, forty five years old.
3:16
Speaker 2: He was arrested last Thursday for shoplifting, possession of stolen property,
3:23
Speaker 2: went in and robbed a store. Now that's Thursday, but
3:28
Speaker 2: earlier in the month he was arrested for a possession
3:30
Speaker 2: of crack cocaine before that he was arrested for rape,
3:35
Speaker 2: attempted rape, and strangulation. He followed a twenty one year
3:39
Speaker 2: old woman home, choked her, tried to take a clothes off,
3:43
Speaker 2: police got him. He was presumably deported after that, but
3:48
Speaker 2: suddenly showed up in the country again. He's basically a
3:51
Speaker 2: career criminal. He's a really really bad criminal, and Ice
3:55
Speaker 2: has been after him. But he gets hauled into court
3:58
Speaker 2: for the shoplifting he had caught robbing. This so this
4:01
Speaker 2: is a Manhattan courtroom. It's Judge Sheridan jack Brown, a Democrat.
4:08
Speaker 2: She won a special election in Brooklyn last year. She
4:11
Speaker 2: decides to let the guy go. This is typical of
4:13
Speaker 2: New York City. Criminal caught in a crime, got a big,
4:18
Speaker 2: long record, big rap sheet. She decides just to let
4:21
Speaker 2: him go. The get word in the courtroom that Ice
4:25
Speaker 2: is waiting for this guy. The judge says, take him
4:30
Speaker 2: out the back so Ice can't. The Ice is waiting
4:32
Speaker 2: out front to grab the guy when he comes out.
4:35
Speaker 2: So she had them open up the back door and
4:37
Speaker 2: let him sneak out the back to avoid Ice. This
4:39
Speaker 2: is what you're dealing with in the middle of Manhattan.
4:43
Speaker 2: Ice figured out that they let him go out the back.
4:45
Speaker 2: They chased the guy down. They eventually caught him. But
4:48
Speaker 2: that's what you're dealing with. That's why you have to
4:50
Speaker 2: have ICE do this. Local authorities will just let these
4:52
Speaker 2: guys go. This guy would have committed another crime in
4:56
Speaker 2: a few weeks, be back in court, be let go again.
4:59
Speaker 2: Ice had they'll remove him, take him out of the country.
5:03
Speaker 2: That's the good news. Now. President Trump went to Palm
5:07
Speaker 2: Beach this weekend. Normally he leaves Friday afternoon, He's in
5:11
Speaker 2: Palm Beach by dinnertime Friday, and he comes back on
5:15
Speaker 2: Sunday night. This time he's only in Palm Beach for
5:19
Speaker 2: one day, just for Sunday. It was for a wedding.
5:21
Speaker 2: Dan Scavino, big longtime part of the Trump administration, married
5:26
Speaker 2: at mar Lago. Everybody in the Trump administration went down
5:29
Speaker 2: there for the wedding. But the reason the President stayed
5:33
Speaker 2: is Saturday night, he went to something he never goes to.
5:37
Speaker 2: You know, they got these big events every year in Washington, DC.
5:40
Speaker 2: There's the White House Press Corps Dinner, you know that
5:43
Speaker 2: correspondents dinner. They call that like the nerd prom that's
5:47
Speaker 2: a big event. And there's the Kennedy Center Honors. That's
5:50
Speaker 2: a big event. Everybody in Washington goes that every year.
5:53
Speaker 2: Speaking to which the Kennedy Center is going to close
5:55
Speaker 2: for two years, President Trump master Builder, after inspecting the
6:01
Speaker 2: Kennedy Center, said it's totally dilapidated. It's in total disrepair.
6:07
Speaker 2: It needs to be fixed top to bottom. I'm gonna
6:10
Speaker 2: close it for two years and fix it. But getting
6:13
Speaker 2: back to this big dinners, this is only a handful
6:16
Speaker 2: of bit It's not like New York. In New York,
6:17
Speaker 2: there's like three major events every night. Washington, d C.
6:21
Speaker 2: There's like four major events a year. But the biggest
6:23
Speaker 2: of them all and it's the least known, it's very
6:26
Speaker 2: very quiet. It's the Alfalfa Dinner. This is actually the biggest,
6:31
Speaker 2: most prestigious night in Washington, d C. Every year. Now
6:35
Speaker 2: the Correspondence Dinner, it's a million people in a ballroom.
6:39
Speaker 2: It's every idiot from it's Jim Acosta, Don Lemon type idiots.
6:43
Speaker 2: The Alfalfa Dinner, that's the private, very very very prestigious one.
6:49
Speaker 2: It's in the Hilton every year. The Alfalfa Club is
6:53
Speaker 2: like the skull and Bones of Washington, DC. You can't
6:57
Speaker 2: just join it. You have to be invited to join.
7:00
Speaker 2: It's real, real, real inside swamp, real deep state stuff.
7:05
Speaker 2: The bushes are in the Alfalfa Society. Very few people
7:10
Speaker 2: make it into there. It's very very elite inside d C. Washington.
7:16
Speaker 2: So when Trump first got elected in twenty sixteen, all
7:20
Speaker 2: these Alfalfa people would say to me, I don't know
7:24
Speaker 2: if we're going to like it. I don't know if
7:25
Speaker 2: we're going to he's going to be I don't know
7:26
Speaker 2: if he's going to get a good reception at the
7:27
Speaker 2: Alfalfa dinner. And I used to say, Tom, I don't
7:30
Speaker 2: think he's coming to you stupid dinner. And sure enough,
7:32
Speaker 2: he didn't come the first year, and they're all grumbling
7:34
Speaker 2: to me. No president has ever refused to come to it.
7:37
Speaker 2: No president has ever not come to an Alfalfa well.
7:40
Speaker 2: For four years, he never went because he knew what
7:42
Speaker 2: these real old, inside elite swamp people thought of him.
7:46
Speaker 2: But this year he decided to go. It's a whole
7:49
Speaker 2: new world now Trump has decided to take them on.
7:51
Speaker 2: So he showed up at the Alfalfa dinner. It's kind
7:54
Speaker 2: of a roast. I mean, you're supposed to make jokes
7:57
Speaker 2: there but it's a very exclusive c and he sees
8:00
Speaker 2: Mitt Romney and he's got some great jokes about Romney.
8:03
Speaker 2: But he mentions Mitt Romney and asked him to stand up,
8:09
Speaker 2: and Romney gets like a standing ovation. Remember it's these
8:11
Speaker 2: kind of people, these old kind of Ivy League, skull
8:15
Speaker 2: and Bones type. They love Romney. They give him an
8:17
Speaker 2: incredible ovation. So then Trump said, I guess I better
8:21
Speaker 2: not do these jokes. Now I can see what you
8:22
Speaker 2: think of. Well, I'm gonna have to throw out these
8:24
Speaker 2: jokes and not do them. But he went for the
8:27
Speaker 2: first time ever. It lasts about four hours. There's only
8:29
Speaker 2: two hundred members of this very exclusive club. Jeb Bush
8:35
Speaker 2: was there, George Bush was there. It's that kind of
8:38
Speaker 2: a dinner and the marine band plays. It's not the
8:41
Speaker 2: most exciting dinner. And actually, if you look at the
8:44
Speaker 2: way it started, it was originally formed by a bunch
8:47
Speaker 2: of Southerners at the Willard Hotel in Washington to celebrate
8:52
Speaker 2: the birthday of Robert E. Lee, the Confederate General. And
8:57
Speaker 2: in fact, remember William Rehnquist, the Chief Justice of the
9:00
Speaker 2: Supreme Court, when he had his Senate Judiciary hearing to
9:07
Speaker 2: get nominated to be the Chief Justice. They went after
9:11
Speaker 2: him for being a member of the Alfalfa Club, but
9:15
Speaker 2: he defended it in the hearings, saying, I go there
9:18
Speaker 2: at a meet once a year, listen to patriotic music,
9:20
Speaker 2: and hears some funny political speeches. Let's see nineteen eighty four.
9:26
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton did boycott it once. Actually, Bill Clinton boycotted
9:29
Speaker 2: it one year. This is such an old old world
9:32
Speaker 2: club that women were not allowed in the club until
9:36
Speaker 2: like nineteen ninety four. And I guess they finally let
9:39
Speaker 2: him in because Bill Clinton refused to go until they
9:42
Speaker 2: let women in. But it's interesting Trump decided to go
9:45
Speaker 2: this weekend just to go into the lions Den and
9:49
Speaker 2: talk to them. Hey, Mayor, Mom Donnie has appointed somebody
9:53
Speaker 2: to run the Department of Corrections, an ex convict, somebody
9:58
Speaker 2: who had been in jail. He's now charge of the jail.
10:01
Speaker 2: That's Mom Donnie was very proud of this. Stanley Richards
10:05
Speaker 2: will become the first formerly incarcerated person to lead the
10:09
Speaker 2: city's Department of Corrections. Mom Donnie talking about it like
10:13
Speaker 2: it's an incredible breakthrough. I don't know what's a breakthrough.
10:16
Speaker 2: I mean, what's so great about that? And if a
10:18
Speaker 2: guy came to you in a job interview and you
10:20
Speaker 2: look at the resume. BI see here you're in prison.
10:24
Speaker 2: That's very good. What a good resume. Normally you'd not
10:28
Speaker 2: get a job for that. If you walk around Manhattan,
10:31
Speaker 2: the sidewalks are pretty good. I was in the suburbs
10:34
Speaker 2: this weekend and bad, really bad. The sidewalks are. All
10:38
Speaker 2: they did was clear, like a little little path through
10:41
Speaker 2: the sidewalk. Here Manhattan Roads sidewalks all totally clear. There
10:45
Speaker 2: are snow piles at the curb. And the other problem
10:49
Speaker 2: is there's garbage, massive piles of garbage. Sanitation department not
10:53
Speaker 2: picking up garbage for a week. I don't know why.
10:56
Speaker 2: I guess they're busy with snowroom or something. But it
10:59
Speaker 2: looks pretty bad.
11:00
Speaker 1: Mayor Mom, Donnie so I asked New Yorkers please check
11:03
Speaker 1: in on your neighbors, especially older adults, New Yorkers with disabilities,
11:07
Speaker 1: and those without access to reliable heat. This is one
11:09
Speaker 1: of the longest, most sustained cold stretches our city has
11:13
Speaker 1: endured in years, and it is showing no signs of abating.
11:17
Speaker 2: That's what they call a code blue. Although it's going
11:20
Speaker 2: to hit maybe thirty two today and maybe thirty three
11:24
Speaker 2: tomorrow and Wednesday, that could start a little thawing. But
11:28
Speaker 2: we've never had it stay this cold this long in
11:31
Speaker 2: a million years. Mayor Mom. Donnie also getting a lot
11:34
Speaker 2: of flak because he told all the departments, police, everybody else,
11:39
Speaker 2: don't take the homeless off the street, don't bother them.
11:42
Speaker 2: Unless it's a medical emergency. You're not allowed to remove
11:45
Speaker 2: the homeless. So the deathole keeps increasing. There now fourteen dead,
11:52
Speaker 2: fourteen dead because he left them out on the street. Fourteen.
11:57
Speaker 2: That's a lot of dead bodies. All he had to
11:59
Speaker 2: do was in previous administration, they would just force you
12:02
Speaker 2: to go to the shelter when it got to you know,
12:04
Speaker 2: windshill of minus five, they'd make you go to the shelter.
12:07
Speaker 2: But Mom, don I don't know what he thinks that.
12:10
Speaker 2: When ten died, you think you'd change your mind on that,
12:14
Speaker 2: But fourteen have died. You know the problem with these
12:17
Speaker 2: the celebrities that threaten to leave the country if Trump
12:20
Speaker 2: is elected, they never keep the promise. He said, Well,
12:24
Speaker 2: Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres moved out of the country. She's back.
12:30
Speaker 2: Look at this, she's buying a house in California, Montecito.
12:35
Speaker 2: She was looking at a thirty five million dollar mansion beachfront.
12:40
Speaker 2: And you know, she already has a house in Montecito,
12:43
Speaker 2: twenty seven million dollar house. She's buying another one down
12:46
Speaker 2: the street, a thirty five million dollar house. So it
12:50
Speaker 2: looks like she's coming back. Apparently you cannot get rid
12:52
Speaker 2: of these people. Now you're saying, how does she he
12:54
Speaker 2: have that much money? That's like sixty five million in
12:58
Speaker 2: real estate right there. Well, the most the highest paying
13:01
Speaker 2: thing you can do is have a daytime syndicated talk show.
13:06
Speaker 2: You know, if you're the host of a big TV show,
13:09
Speaker 2: if you're Johnny Carson, you can make twenty million a year.
13:12
Speaker 2: If you're David Letterman in his heyday, you could make
13:14
Speaker 2: twenty thirty million a year. If you got a daytime
13:19
Speaker 2: syndicated show where you have a piece of the ownership
13:22
Speaker 2: of the show. When you're syndicated on TV, you know,
13:24
Speaker 2: like an Oprah, that kind of show, you can make
13:27
Speaker 2: a couple hundred million a year, and it's the most
13:32
Speaker 2: lucrative thing there is. That's why Oprah got to be
13:34
Speaker 2: a billionaire. That's why Donna Hughe, who is really the
13:36
Speaker 2: first big, big daytime syndicate show retired with like five
13:40
Speaker 2: six hundred million, so Allan de Generes was like the
13:45
Speaker 2: you know, the Merv Griffin Mike Douglass of the eighties
13:48
Speaker 2: and nineties and our nineties and two thousands, but probably
13:52
Speaker 2: retired with three four hundred million bucks as a result.
13:56
Speaker 2: So she's back. Hey, Harry Styles coming to Madison Square Garden.
14:00
Speaker 2: This will be the next big residency. Billy Joel once
14:04
Speaker 2: a month for many years, but Harry Styles is gonna
14:06
Speaker 2: do thirty shows, thirty in like a two month period. Nobody,
14:13
Speaker 2: Nobody's ever Billy Joel was once a month. That's twelve
14:16
Speaker 2: shows a year. This guy's so big He's going to
14:18
Speaker 2: do thirty thirty over the summer in just two months.
14:23
Speaker 2: And ticket I'm looking at the ticket prices three hundred
14:25
Speaker 2: and fifty to six hundred bucks, so that's like six
14:29
Speaker 2: million a show. They'll take in six million a show
14:33
Speaker 2: and probably usually another five hundred thousand just in the
14:37
Speaker 2: lobby on merchandise. Five hundred thousand and merchandise before the
14:41
Speaker 2: show even starts. So gonna make a fortune this year. Hey,
14:45
Speaker 2: we'll take some calls next eight hundred three to two
14:48
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three
14:52
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten now.
14:55
Speaker 3: More marks the moon on seven tenor.
15:00
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, a bunch of emails about this. So apparently
15:04
Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo now doing a radio show, and he came
15:08
Speaker 2: up with a concept, and you got to give the
15:11
Speaker 2: guy credit. This could revolutionize things. He came up with
15:14
Speaker 2: a concept for a radio show. He calls it the
15:18
Speaker 2: Pulse of the People, where he takes the pulse of
15:22
Speaker 2: the people. The way he does this, now, listen to this.
15:25
Speaker 2: He takes phone calls on the radio and people can
15:28
Speaker 2: call up and give their opinion. Whoa Now this was
15:33
Speaker 2: this is revolutionary for nineteen forty six when Barry Gray.
15:38
Speaker 2: Barry Gray was the first guy ever to put a
15:40
Speaker 2: phone call on the air in nineteen forty six and
15:42
Speaker 2: let people talk. And then he went on to become
15:44
Speaker 2: the king of talk radio, the modern day pioneer of
15:49
Speaker 2: talk rater. But I don't know. Don't don't tell Cuomo
15:51
Speaker 2: that everybody's been doing this for like eighty years, tell
15:55
Speaker 2: me no, that might upset him. So but apparently a
15:58
Speaker 2: lot of people were a little miffed. He on the
16:01
Speaker 2: show kept blaming Curtis. It was all Curtises. He would
16:04
Speaker 2: have been mayor. If not for Curtis, he would have won.
16:07
Speaker 2: And he said that with many experts have said if
16:12
Speaker 2: it wasn't for Curtis, he would have won. I don't
16:14
Speaker 2: know one expert that says, first of all, he took
16:16
Speaker 2: every single vote Curtis ad added to Cuomo's votes. He's
16:20
Speaker 2: still nowhere close enough to win. But I don't listen,
16:24
Speaker 2: I don't blame him. He got to tell himself that.
16:26
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't say to yourself, I just was
16:29
Speaker 2: rejected by the voters. I mean, the real reason he
16:32
Speaker 2: lost his Democrats wouldn't vote for him. He lost the primary.
16:35
Speaker 2: Bat he really lost the primary to Mom Donnie and
16:38
Speaker 2: then in the general election, and he talks about how
16:40
Speaker 2: many Republicans voted for him. Problem is he couldn't get
16:43
Speaker 2: enough Democrats to vote for him. But you're not going
16:46
Speaker 2: to be You're not gonna admit to yourself it's me.
16:47
Speaker 2: They didn't like me. So you got to convince yourself
16:50
Speaker 2: it's Curtis's fault. So let him do it. It makes
16:52
Speaker 2: him feel better. Let's go to Kevin in Boston. Kevin,
16:56
Speaker 2: how you doing well?
16:58
Speaker 3: Hi, mock Pomo is such a lie. Eighty five percent
17:05
Speaker 3: of the people who voted for mont Donnie were foreigners
17:08
Speaker 3: who became Americans, so the sixty five Immigration Act got
17:11
Speaker 3: him elected. Everybody's lying, they don't want to talk.
17:14
Speaker 2: About and actually, mom Donnie did pretty well with even
17:17
Speaker 2: homegrown Democrats. They they're into this socialism now, they like
17:21
Speaker 2: this socialism. But well, you know, as George Will said,
17:25
Speaker 2: you got to do this every twenty years. Every twenty years,
17:28
Speaker 2: you got to do some socialism. So everybody can be
17:30
Speaker 2: reminded and see for themselves. New generations can see how
17:33
Speaker 2: bad it is, how badly at bombs, So maybe we
17:36
Speaker 2: have to go through that. Let's go to Kenny and Basine. Kenny,
17:39
Speaker 2: how you doing, Kenny?
17:44
Speaker 3: Mark? What about happened? Steve from Manhattan is a guest?
17:46
Speaker 2: Come on, may the hell Steve from Manhattan. I don't
17:49
Speaker 2: even know who that is. Let's go to Robert in Westchester. Robert,
17:52
Speaker 2: how you doing?
17:54
Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark, Thanks for taking the cool Mark. Did
17:58
Speaker 3: you see the two elections that happened Texas? One was
18:02
Speaker 3: for congressmen and it was and the other one was
18:05
Speaker 3: for state senator. Yeah, but the one for state senator
18:08
Speaker 3: was a Republican district. Now they're talking about jerrymandering over there. Mark,
18:13
Speaker 3: do the Republicans always shoot themselves on the foot.
18:15
Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't wory about. It's a little state senate race.
18:18
Speaker 2: It means absolutely nothing in Texas we're talking about this,
18:20
Speaker 2: so Howie car it means absolutely nothing. But because it's
18:24
Speaker 2: a Republican losing, even in a totally irrelevant race, it's
18:27
Speaker 2: front page news all over the world. All of a sudden,
18:30
Speaker 2: let's go to Bill and Lasiete. Bill, how you doing?
18:34
Speaker 3: Fie?
18:35
Speaker 4: Mark Quick mentioned on this Jeffrey Epstein matter. It's amazing
18:40
Speaker 4: that these women were contacted and they're saying, you know,
18:44
Speaker 4: we're going to offer you a free plane ride, food
18:47
Speaker 4: and drink, party, party, party, Come on down, bring your
18:51
Speaker 4: small bikini with you, and if you want to, you
18:53
Speaker 4: can bring your daughter. Now, all of a sudden, there's
18:56
Speaker 4: survivors they went to a party.
18:59
Speaker 2: Well, I gotta stop you there mixing all kinds of
19:02
Speaker 2: things up. There were a lot of normal age women,
19:05
Speaker 2: older women, that was fine, but there were underage women
19:07
Speaker 2: that were recruited and terrible things are done to them
19:12
Speaker 2: by Gallaine Maxwell recruiting them. They didn't go in there
19:15
Speaker 2: with the intention of all that stuff. There were victims,
19:19
Speaker 2: plenty of them. That's why Gallaine Maxwell went to prison.
19:22
Speaker 2: That's why Epstein went to prison. Now, you gotta remember
19:25
Speaker 2: if you went to I mean, I went to those
19:27
Speaker 2: kinds of things, If you went to an Epstein event,
19:31
Speaker 2: there were a lot of women there, and I'd say
19:33
Speaker 2: probably ninety four percent of them were adult women of
19:38
Speaker 2: all ages. There were a lot of young women there,
19:41
Speaker 2: but a small percentage, and those were for Epstein. And
19:44
Speaker 2: I'm sure there were a couple of his friends, Prince
19:48
Speaker 2: Andrew and others who liked the young women, but most
19:51
Speaker 2: of them, the Bill Clinton's, the Bill Gates, it was
19:53
Speaker 2: the older women that they were interested in. Let's go
19:56
Speaker 2: to Steve in Tennessee. Steve, how you doing, Aramberton? Do
20:00
Speaker 2: it pretty good?
20:01
Speaker 4: Mark?
20:01
Speaker 3: Hey, I got a question for you.
20:03
Speaker 2: Yeah.
20:03
Speaker 3: Do you think do you think Don Lemon got a
20:05
Speaker 3: cavity search when he went to jail.
20:09
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe, In fact, if he did, he'd
20:12
Speaker 2: probably come back a couple of times. But anyway, let's
20:14
Speaker 2: go to Tom and Queen's Tom, how you doing?
20:17
Speaker 4: Hey? Mark?
20:18
Speaker 3: Speaking of Don Lemon, the guys out there before the
20:22
Speaker 3: before the church invasion. He's out there with corffee and
20:25
Speaker 3: donuts giving him out to all the people. I mean,
20:28
Speaker 3: you know that's you And.
20:30
Speaker 4: He admits the guy asked him who saw.
20:32
Speaker 2: Do you want?
20:33
Speaker 4: And he admits he's on their side.
20:35
Speaker 2: Well, Don Lemon's got a couple of problems when he
20:38
Speaker 2: goes to trial. One, uh, he was in on the
20:41
Speaker 2: planning of it. There's video of him planning, conspiring with
20:44
Speaker 2: these people to go in and the mission that they
20:47
Speaker 2: went in with was to stop the service, disrupt the church.
20:51
Speaker 2: The reason they went after this church, the pastor also
20:57
Speaker 2: works for ICE. He's acting director of ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota,
21:02
Speaker 2: and he also happens to be the pastor. That's the
21:04
Speaker 2: reason they went in. They targeted this church. They ended
21:07
Speaker 2: up disrupting the service. It's against this specific law or
21:12
Speaker 2: two about that you cannot go into a church and
21:15
Speaker 2: interfere with the service in anyway. You can't. Also, there's
21:18
Speaker 2: a law you can't go in and try to intimidate
21:20
Speaker 2: the people in the church. That was done. There's video
21:24
Speaker 2: of Don Lemon with the plotters and planners where he
21:28
Speaker 2: acknowledges he was in on the planning. That's where he's
21:31
Speaker 2: got a big legal problem. And then in the indictment
21:34
Speaker 2: they describe certain instances where he was blocking the door,
21:38
Speaker 2: not letting people in or out. So that's where he's
21:41
Speaker 2: got a real problem and can get convicted. So doesn't
21:45
Speaker 2: look good for him. Doesn't look good for him. He'll
21:48
Speaker 2: use it to make himself relevant again. He's on Jimmy
21:52
Speaker 2: Kimmel tonight, so hey when we come back, the Greatest
21:55
Speaker 2: Living DJ, the legend himself, Scott Shannon will go over
21:58
Speaker 2: the Grammys and super Bowl and a lot more coming
22:02
Speaker 2: up next on seven to ten. WR set up pre
22:05
Speaker 2: sat on the iHeartRadio app to WR to hear Mark Live.

22:32
Speaker 2: listening to, and he's with us now. Scotch Shannon, how
22:36
Speaker 2: you doing?
22:38
Speaker 3: I am fantastic good Martin from the frozen tundra of
22:44
Speaker 3: South Florida. We're not used to this kind of weather.
22:47
Speaker 3: But it's very cold.
22:48
Speaker 2: Well how cold is.
22:49
Speaker 3: It it's been? It has been down to thirty thirty
22:53
Speaker 3: two at night. Got their flowers covered up? Yeah, I
22:59
Speaker 3: give you a too. You know, I was watching the
23:02
Speaker 3: local news on the ABC affiliate here in South Florida,
23:07
Speaker 3: and you know how they made the announcements about school
23:09
Speaker 3: closings and oh something such a school is going to
23:12
Speaker 3: open up late. Ye, well, I'm watching it. I swear
23:16
Speaker 3: this is a true story. They come on to announce
23:20
Speaker 3: across the bottom of the screen that the message said
23:24
Speaker 3: two hour delays in the opening of the pickle bowel courts.
23:32
Speaker 3: You got to delay those man, you can't get out
23:34
Speaker 3: there for two hours.
23:36
Speaker 2: Wow. Did you watch the Grammys last night?
23:40
Speaker 3: Well? I watched them because I did it so you
23:45
Speaker 3: wouldn't have to. But I'm kind of interesting because besides
23:51
Speaker 3: the Grammys, you had a great Knicks game on last
23:55
Speaker 3: night where they knocked out the Lakers. That was interesting.
23:59
Speaker 3: You also had American Idol, who's had pretty good numbers
24:03
Speaker 3: in the last couple of seasons, and the new season
24:06
Speaker 3: of Bridgerton kicked off last night too.
24:09
Speaker 2: And I gotta be honest, I don't even know what Bridgerton.
24:12
Speaker 2: I've never watched Bridgerton.
24:15
Speaker 3: Oh I don't either, but I got someone in the
24:17
Speaker 3: house that does, so she was all excited. I watched
24:23
Speaker 3: as much as I could take it. It wasn't as
24:28
Speaker 3: much you know, uh Trump banging as usually you'll see
24:35
Speaker 3: him do. And there was a few little stabs and jabs,
24:38
Speaker 3: but it wasn't as bad as normal. Trevor Noah, who
24:44
Speaker 3: thinks he's funny and occasionally touches on funny, but he
24:52
Speaker 3: they just see him. They just see him sit down
24:55
Speaker 3: and have a little chit chat with the bad Bunny guy.
25:00
Speaker 3: Uh Mad Bunny wanted nothing to do with his.
25:04
Speaker 2: Crap what Trevor Noah is. He's a political commentator, shouldn't
25:10
Speaker 2: you have an actual comedian to host the Grammy's not
25:12
Speaker 2: a political guy?
25:14
Speaker 3: I think so well. Like I said, I think he
25:18
Speaker 3: likes to identify as funny. I'm not sure that he is.
25:24
Speaker 3: I keep waiting for it, and he did it. He
25:27
Speaker 3: did a pretty decent job. And I know this is
25:30
Speaker 3: going to sound weird, but I kind of like mister
25:32
Speaker 3: bad Bunny. I thought I thought he was very sincere,
25:37
Speaker 3: seemed like a nice guy. He doesn't speak English very well,
25:41
Speaker 3: you know, he's a Spanish guy. And then did you
25:45
Speaker 3: see the line where Trevor Noah said, I don't like
25:49
Speaker 3: what's going on in this country? Can I move in
25:51
Speaker 3: with you in Puerto Rico? Bad? Bunny said, No, it's
25:56
Speaker 3: worse there.
25:58
Speaker 2: I don't know. Bunny looks a little weird too. You
26:00
Speaker 2: know when he when he won, did you see him
26:01
Speaker 2: cover his face for like thirty seconds like he was crying.
26:05
Speaker 3: Well, I think do you think he was emotional or something?
26:08
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. And it's just a
26:10
Speaker 2: weird guy. He's kind of creepy looking, isn't he?
26:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit, But I thought, like I said,
26:16
Speaker 3: I didn't think it was that bad. I thought he
26:19
Speaker 3: was okay. I mean he didn't he didn't reach as
26:22
Speaker 3: hard as uh as Trevor did. Yeah, did you did?
26:27
Speaker 3: I'm sure you didn't watch the Red Carpet. No, you
26:31
Speaker 3: didn't see that girl? Uh chapel erone she is Yeah, yeah, yeah,
26:37
Speaker 3: she's she wanted she won a big award last year.
26:42
Speaker 3: She's uh, she does a pink pony song.
26:45
Speaker 2: Yeah.
26:46
Speaker 3: Well I saw her coming in and she had this
26:50
Speaker 3: dress on and and I'm pretty sure it was supported
26:56
Speaker 3: by nipple clamps on her. I'm not kidding you. The
27:03
Speaker 3: whole dress was suspended by the nipples. I don't think
27:09
Speaker 3: she had the nerve to wear it when she went
27:11
Speaker 3: on television, but she definitely came in like that. And
27:16
Speaker 3: you know, they had something for everyone last night. The
27:19
Speaker 3: worst thing. Remember last season, they caught a lot of
27:22
Speaker 3: heat for not doing tributes for all the full all
27:27
Speaker 3: the people who had passed away during the year.
27:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, they always missed people. But what happened last night.
27:33
Speaker 3: Well, last night they went the other way. They honored
27:37
Speaker 3: everybody that went I was the worst part of the show.
27:42
Speaker 3: I mean they God blessed Weba mcindar. They had her
27:46
Speaker 3: sing a song for about ten minutes and the names
27:49
Speaker 3: would be behind her, you know who passed away, and
27:53
Speaker 3: they named every attorney and producer, anyone ever connected with
27:58
Speaker 3: the music business. And then on came I guess they
28:04
Speaker 3: separated the It looked like they separated white from black.
28:09
Speaker 3: And then all the rappers came up and then they
28:14
Speaker 3: played and sang while they had the names go up
28:18
Speaker 3: in the back. Same deal. It's kind of crazy, but
28:22
Speaker 3: they had something for everybody. If you're over the age
28:25
Speaker 3: of fifty, they had Reba McIntyre. You know, Joni Mitchell
28:31
Speaker 3: was there. Oh Carol, Yeah, she was there. She didn't
28:37
Speaker 3: get her. She didn't bounce around much. She was pretty
28:39
Speaker 3: much confined. I think she was in a wheelchair. And
28:43
Speaker 3: Carol King was a presenter. Now you know her. She
28:46
Speaker 3: didn't like to go anywhere. Yeah, so hey, yeah, she
28:52
Speaker 3: only showed up one time for her own Broadway play.
28:57
Speaker 3: Oh don't forget cheer. She was there.
29:00
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, who's the oldest person in the room?
29:01
Speaker 2: Share with? I think when that right, she's older than the.
29:07
Speaker 3: I think it would be a toss up with her
29:09
Speaker 3: and Joni.
29:11
Speaker 2: What's the deal with Justin Bieber? Why was he up
29:13
Speaker 2: there in his underwear doing that song?
29:16
Speaker 3: But I know he was. Now, that wasn't the worst
29:20
Speaker 3: I happened to. I happened to appreciate Lady Gaga. But
29:25
Speaker 3: she came out there with a bird cage on her
29:28
Speaker 3: head or I'm not sure it was a bird cage
29:33
Speaker 3: without a bottom, because she had a bird cage over
29:36
Speaker 3: her head so you couldn't see her face. Well, that
29:40
Speaker 3: might have not been That might have not It might
29:42
Speaker 3: have not been the worst thing that could happen, though,
29:46
Speaker 3: So she had that song. She did that song Abracadaver
29:49
Speaker 3: if you know that one.
29:50
Speaker 4: Yeah.
29:51
Speaker 2: No, I love all the music, but there's no reason
29:53
Speaker 2: to look at these people. You can just listen to
29:54
Speaker 2: it on the radio. You don't need to see them,
29:56
Speaker 2: do you.
29:57
Speaker 3: Well. They had a pretty good uh tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.
30:01
Speaker 3: It was a little, you know, a little rocky, but
30:03
Speaker 3: it was nice. Post Malone was a good singer. They
30:06
Speaker 3: had Slash on guitar and the and the drummer from
30:10
Speaker 3: Chili Peppers.
30:11
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey. Speaking of Bad Bunny, he's going to be
30:14
Speaker 2: a halftime entertainment at the super Bowl. Uh. Donald Trump
30:18
Speaker 2: has announced he will not go to the super Bowl.
30:19
Speaker 2: He said it's just too far. It's California. But a
30:22
Speaker 2: lot of people think it's because it's Bad Bunny, who's
30:24
Speaker 2: going to attack him some point during the halftime show.
30:27
Speaker 3: Have you have you ever? Can you tell me one
30:31
Speaker 3: song by Bad Bunny? Uh?
30:33
Speaker 2: No? Is he any good?
30:37
Speaker 3: I guess he's good for Spanish speaking people. I mean
30:40
Speaker 3: it seems to me. You know the other thing about
30:44
Speaker 3: the super Bowl? Are you have you seen the Buttweiser
30:47
Speaker 3: commercial yet?
30:48
Speaker 1: No?
30:49
Speaker 3: The one there there's a preview going on and it's
30:53
Speaker 3: really really good. Might be one of the best commercials
30:57
Speaker 3: I've ever seen for the Super Bowl. And they have
31:00
Speaker 3: good commercials, but this one, it's really interesting. They have
31:05
Speaker 3: a Clydesdale horse when he's young, he's the little baby
31:09
Speaker 3: Clydesdale horse and he's outside and you see a little
31:12
Speaker 3: bird sitting there in the rain or the snow or something,
31:16
Speaker 3: and he adopts this little bird turns out to be
31:20
Speaker 3: a baby eagle, and it shows them growing up together
31:24
Speaker 3: and hanging out. It's really heartwarming. They grow up again.
31:29
Speaker 3: They're playing Leonard Skinner Free Bird, you know that song
31:32
Speaker 3: in the background, and then finally the eagle grows up
31:39
Speaker 3: and he's perched on the horse's back and he takes
31:43
Speaker 3: off with that big wingspan and they're playing free Bird.
31:48
Speaker 3: But and the weird thing about it and not weird,
31:50
Speaker 3: but they hire that kid Lincoln. You know, the eagle
31:55
Speaker 3: from Philadelphia. He's the he's the bald eagle that flies
32:02
Speaker 3: around during the national anthem at their home games at
32:06
Speaker 3: Lincoln Financial Field. So that's pretty cool.
32:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking to Scott Shannon. Hey, the Super
32:11
Speaker 2: Bowl commercials this year all time record ten million for
32:14
Speaker 2: a spot on the Super bowl pretty good.
32:17
Speaker 3: Did they really pay that or not? Do you think?
32:20
Speaker 2: Well, listen, you're in the broadcasting visits, it's ten million. Yeah,
32:23
Speaker 2: most people. But you know, if it's a big, big, big, big,
32:26
Speaker 2: big sponsor, regular all year long spot, maybe you discounted
32:30
Speaker 2: a little or you're throwing a lot of bonus spots
32:32
Speaker 2: somewhere else.
32:33
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, I heard you mentioned this this morning,
32:36
Speaker 3: and I'm glad you did, because the liberal press did
32:41
Speaker 3: everything they could to destroy that millennium movie. Yeah, milagnacuse me.
32:47
Speaker 3: And they, oh, this isn't going to go anywhere. Who's
32:50
Speaker 3: going to buy tickets for that? Blah blah the worst thing,
32:53
Speaker 3: you know, And if you read, I saw a collection
32:56
Speaker 3: of the horrible reviews, and they came up with every
33:00
Speaker 3: insult they could possibly put together. And then at the
33:05
Speaker 3: end of the weekend, she came in third overall for
33:10
Speaker 3: the other all the movies out she had the she
33:14
Speaker 3: had the third most tickets sold that weekend. Yeah, and
33:19
Speaker 3: it made what almost eight million dollars.
33:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, like an all time record for the last thirty
33:25
Speaker 2: years for a documentary. And the reviews of the public,
33:30
Speaker 2: Rotten Tomatoes and all that, very high on the movie.
33:32
Speaker 2: They loved the movie, So.
33:34
Speaker 3: What about the critics? They didn't seem to care for much. Well, wait,
33:39
Speaker 3: you know you said between seven and eight million. That
33:43
Speaker 3: was what they were expecting. They thought in the industry,
33:46
Speaker 3: they thought it would be greater that she did between
33:49
Speaker 3: three and five.
33:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, a big, big hit. It's going to have and
33:52
Speaker 2: it's got a lot of publicity. Don't have an even
33:54
Speaker 2: bigger weekend coming up. Hey, before we run out of time,
33:57
Speaker 2: what's the deal with Bruce Springsteen with this new protest song?
34:00
Speaker 2: Is he really is just on principle or is he
34:02
Speaker 2: trying to get back in the charts.
34:06
Speaker 3: I believe that. I believe in his principles. I mean,
34:10
Speaker 3: I think I was shocked that they didn't open up
34:15
Speaker 3: the show last night at the Grammys with him sitting
34:19
Speaker 3: there with their guitars singing that song. Yeah, yeah, that
34:24
Speaker 3: he did show up, But it was in a clip
34:28
Speaker 3: when they did a tribute to Brian Wilson and he
34:33
Speaker 3: said he you know, he said he learned a lot
34:35
Speaker 3: about songwriting from Brian Wilson. But I mean, you listen
34:39
Speaker 3: to that song. Oh my god? What did he say?
34:43
Speaker 3: He said, I wrote the song on Saturday, recorded it
34:46
Speaker 3: on Sunday and you can really tell that.
34:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's pretty catchy. The melody, the arrangement, it's peppy,
34:52
Speaker 2: it's life. But why is it so catchy if it's
34:54
Speaker 2: a protest song it's about dying, but it's such a
34:57
Speaker 2: happy melody. It didn't make much sense.
35:01
Speaker 3: I just really believe in the Johnny Carson theory about
35:06
Speaker 3: being a public person. You know, I just don't think
35:10
Speaker 3: you should lean heavily in anyone. Is that our job?
35:15
Speaker 3: The people sit around and want to know what Bruce
35:17
Speaker 3: Springsteen thinks or or me or you.
35:24
Speaker 2: I don't think so I don't even want to know
35:26
Speaker 2: what I think. I agree with you. So, hey, we're
35:28
Speaker 2: out of time. But Scott Shannon runs the True Oldies channel.
35:32
Speaker 2: Where should people go to hear it?
35:34
Speaker 3: Well, well, now you can hear something on iHeart Radio
35:38
Speaker 3: and it's just you go on iHeart Radio on your computer,
35:42
Speaker 3: your phone, your laptop, whatever, and just say play Scott
35:45
Speaker 3: Channon's True Oldies Chadel on iHeart Radio. Or if you're
