  Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark Simone Show on seven Trday.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: It's only Tuesday, but you know, today's the first day
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: of spring training.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Spring is just a few weeks away, just a few weeks.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Spring training opens today. Hey, we got a lot to
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: get to. We'll get to the latest on the Guth
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: three kidnapping. We'll get to Bad Bunny. There's all sorts
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: of Epstein developments. We'll get to that. We'll get to
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Cardinal Dolan, We'll get to Bruce Blakeman. He's picked a
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: running mate. He'll get the nomination. Actually, tomorrow morning he'll
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: officially become the candidate. Super Bowl is over, and now
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I realized it's gonna be the first weekend with no football.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: There's nothing to watch this weekend football wise. So the
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Bad Bunny thing I think was great because it's first
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: of all, he.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Wasn't that bad. He was pretty good. I don't know
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: one thing he said. You couldn't understand him. It was
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: in Spanish, but it looks good. The moves, well, scenery
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: was great, it was staging it. It was okay, probably
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: not the best choice, but but it's it was worth
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: it just to watch the entire left wing, all the Democrats,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: all the media watched them, have to convince themselves that
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: pretend that they're big Bad Bunny fans, especially the older liberals,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: the older left wing media people. They have to pretend
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: they're they're really big fans of that bad Bunny boy.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: They love that bad Bunny. If you grab their phone,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: let me see your playlist. I don't see any Bad
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Bunny in there. But they got to pretend they love
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: bad Bunny because this is the latest anti Trump thing
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: they can do. It was out protesting ice, now it's
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: defending bad Bunny. Meantime, Bad Bunny says, cashing in on this. Now,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: you gotta remember, there were a lot of reasons you
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: got to peel away the layers of this. This Roger Goodell,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: who you look at that guy and he's just look
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: a very unpleasant guy. He looks like the worst high
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: school principle you ever saw, Just a stern, unpleasant looking guy.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: He's got no personality, absolutely humorless. And you wonder, how
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: the hell does this guy get eighty million a year
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: or whatever he gets to be the NFL commissioner. How
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: does he last so long? Because the owners love him
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: the fans can't stand him. The owners love Roger Goodell.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: He makes them a fortune. He's the best negotiator. He's
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: a ruthless, brutal negotiator with the networks. You put him
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: in a courtroom and there's an NFL lawsuit, He's great
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: in a courtroom, very skilled at all that stuff. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: also he's a mastermind, always scheming, scheming, scheming, scheming to
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: make the NFL more money. So they've been plotting the
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: last few years. Couple of things. One one of the
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: reasons for bad Bunny Big Big Big with a Hispanic community,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: and the Hispanic community tends to like soccer and not
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: really football. You got to remember people that have come
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: from somewhere else, they're big soccer fans. You know, football
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: is the number one most popular sport in America. Around
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: the world, it doesn't even make the top ten. It's
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: not that popular around the world. So they make a
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: fortune here in the US. But Roger Goodell knows, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: the NFL realizes to make more money. To grow this thing,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: they got to go international. That's why they start playing
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: the games overseas every season. And now they're going to
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: try to appeal to other countries, other languages. They want
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: to make this league international, they want to go worldwide.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: So that's one reason for a bad Bunny.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: But just.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Forcing all these Democrats have to pretend they love bad Bunny,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: it was worth it. Now. Glaine Maxwell testified yesterday she
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: took the fifth on everything because she's appealing her case.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: It's going to come up in court pretty soon, so
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: she used that as a justification for taking the fifth.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: She well, here she is.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: I would like to answer your question, but on the
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: advice of Council, I respectfully decline to answer this question
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: and any related questions. My habeas petition is pending in
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: the Sudden District of New York. I therefore invoke my
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: right silence under the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Now I knew Glaine Maxwell. She sounds quite proper, but
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: in real life was a raunchy kind of a woman,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: rough and tough and raunchy. She has told the committee,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: she's implied that she could well, she said it publicly,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: that she could clear Donald Trump and Bill Clinton of
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: all wrongdoing. But she wants clemency. She does not want
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: to be a charge. She wants the charges dropped. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: now Donald Trump does not need clearing. There was never
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: a hint of him ever being involved in anything bad
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: with Epstein. Billy. In fact, he off Epstein twenty something
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: years ago. He just stopped talking to me. First, got
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: whiff of Epstein hitting on a young woman at mar Alago,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: threw him out of the club, immediately distanced him, warned
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: to everybody, including me, back then, stay away from Epstein.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: And the guy that was the police chief, Palm Beach,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: came out yesterday and revealed he was the police chief
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: in two thousand and eight when they went after Epstein,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: and he said one of the first calls he got
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: was from Donald Trump back in two thousand and eight,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: who said, I'm glad you're going after Epstein. And he
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: told him about the problem he had with Epstein and
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: mar A Lago, and he said, everybody knows about this guy.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: You got to go after him. And he encouraged him
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: to take a really good look at Gallayne Maxwell, saying
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: she's evil, she's the accomplice. Look at her. But he
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: really encouraged the police to go after him. So she
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: wants to clemency.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Bill Clinton has a problem because he continued his relationship
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: with Epstein right to the very end, and Epstein was
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: very the only relationship Trump had with Epstein. He was
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: a wealthy guy. He showed up in Palm Beach, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: when you were a wealthy guy in Palm Beach, you
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: joined mar A Lago. And he started coming there, spending
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: a ton of money and going to the parties. And
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Trump would stand there in the parties and talk to him,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: and that was really about the whole relationship. A couple
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: of times Trump hitched a ride on Epstein's plane down
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: to Palm Beach. People used to do that back then.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: If you wanted to go to Palm Beach for the weekend,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: you'd hit your ride, sometimes on Trump's plane, Epstein's plane.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: People would do that very often. But whenever the two
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: times Trump went on Epstein's plane, it was with his
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: wife and daughter. But Clinton is different. Clinton had a very,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: very very close relationship with Epstein. Look at the White
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: House visitors logs when Clinton was there. Epstein's a regular visitor,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: sleeping over at the White House. He's hundreds and hundreds
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: of times in the White House. It was Epstein who
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: helped form the Clinton Foundation Clinton Global Initiative. One of
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: the reasons Epstein was able to ingratiate himself with so
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: many people was his check book. He had what they
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: call check's appeal. He would write massive checks, even the
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Palm Beach Police Department. I give him credit for going
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: after him because Epstein was a big donor the Palm Beach.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: It was just his weekend house. But he gave the
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: police department forty thousand to buy some piece of equipment
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: they needed, then later give him ninety thousand for by
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: another piece of equipment they needed, donated heavily to their
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: scholarship foundation. Just a big, big donor. He wrote checks
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: to everybody, celebrities, colleges, that's where they were all over them.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: So here's comer. He's the chairman of the committee.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: As expected, Laige Maxwell took the fifth and refused to
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: answer any questions. This obviously is very disappointing. We had
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: many questions to ask about the crime she and Epstein committed. Yeah,
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: she's asked for clemency from the president. So I, personally,
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: for the reasons you just stated, don't think she should
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: be granted any type of immunity or clemency.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Donald Trump doesn't need his name cleared with Epstein,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: so I don't think he's gonna give her any Clemency Comber.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: We love Comber. He's a great guy, but he tends
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: to overpromise and underdeliver. As I always tell you, Republicans
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: are not good at hearings. They Democrats do hearings. They
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: wipe people out. Democrats when they have a hearing, they
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: tear into the person. Twenty of them just rip the
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: person apart like pitbulls. It's vicious when the Republicans try
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: to do the same thing to hear Yeah, they never
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: quite get it done. It's a little harmless. He let's
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: get to Nancy Guthrie. The deadline has been missed. Well,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: we don't know. The deadline was last night five o'clock
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: our time, but well actually it was five o'clock her time,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: so it would be seven o'clock our time. The deadline passed.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: We don't know if ransom was paid or not paid.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: The Feds are now in charge of the investigation, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: the Feds are very good at keeping a lid on everything.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: They keep everything quiet, so we don't know if the
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: ransom was paid. They asked for six million in bitcoin.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: We do know there are new videos it's Savannah Guthrie
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: put out.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: No matter where you are, even if you're far from Tucson,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: if you see anything, you hear anything, if there's anything
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: at all that seems strange to you that you report
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: to law enforcement.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess she's talking about neighbors, anybody in the neighborhood.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: You know, people that have been there, the reporters, the
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: people covering the situation. They've been to Nancy Guthrie's house.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: They've been outside there. They tell me it's incredibly dark.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: You know, it's out in the desert. There's no street lights.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: It's unbelievably dark. You can't see a thing around when
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: you look around in the streets there.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: We believe our mom is still out there. We need
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: trying to bring her home, trying to find her. She
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: was taken and we don't know where, and we need
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: your help.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Now, they asked for six million in bitcoin. Now here's
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: the thing. A lot of people don't know this, but bitcoin,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: it is traceable. It can be traced. In fact, if
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: you got the bitcoin stuck, it may take a little
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: drop pretty soon because as this case, unfolds. If they're
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: able to track down the criminals and people realize you
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: can be tracked through bitcoin, that's going to cause them
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: a little lack of sales because a lot of criminals,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: drug dealers, they love to use bitcoin because they think
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: it's totally untraceable. But the criminal, if it's the real
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: criminal in the note, did give an exact bitcoin address. Now,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: what they'll often do in that case is just somebody
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: will send a little money to that address, just a
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: little amount to that bitcoin address, and then there's ways
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: of tracking it as it goes through the blockchain, and
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: you send a small amount to that crypto wallet and
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: you can sort of see where it lands gets you're
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: closer and closer, and the local sheriff and the local
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: police probably can't do this, but the the Feds are
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: really good at tracing this down. Cryptocurrency is not untraceable.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: There is data that can be scraped from just a
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: simple transaction that can yield a lot of information. And
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: there have been cases where they have tracked somebody through crypto.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: It can be done. There's in the FEDS, there's a
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: real experts on blockchain forensic They can trace all the
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: blocks that generate each and every transaction. They can actually
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: you see what you send a code to someone one
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: wallet to another. But when you send a code, you
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: know things are in that code. There's our ways, there
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: are ways to track it, so this could be interesting. Now.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Savannah Guthrie, of course, immediately flew out there to Tucson
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: and stayed with the relatives in their house. But apparently
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: reporters are all over the house. They're all over the
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Nancy Guthrie house, They're all over the daughter's house and
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: the Guthrie's. Savannah and her family were all staying in
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: this one house, but it was surrounded by reporters, so
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: they have temporarily rented. Savannah Guthrie rented a one point
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: two million dollar mansion. This house is in a guarded gatehouse,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: a gated community. Nobody can get in there, and it's
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: located in the community where you can't even see it
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: from the street. So it gives them some privacy, gives
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: them some distance from them and the news crews all
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: over the streets. We'll see what develops later today. What else, Hey,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman, who would be the best governor for New York?
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman would be the perfect governor for New York.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: He's a governor. Now, that's what a county executive is
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: in Nassau County, best run, safest county in America. So
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: he has to pick a running mate, and he just did.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: He picked a running mate yesterday. They're having the convention
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: right now. But he's picked Madison County Sheriff Hood twenty
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: two years in the Syracuse Police Department, Blakeman courses from
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: around here. You want the other half of the ticket
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: to be an upstate guy. Hood a great resume. Father
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: of Ie serves as vice president of the New York
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: State Sheriff's Association, chairman of the National Sheriff's Association. So
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: now tomorrow's the nomination, the actual nomination. They have a
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: convention for like three days. It's a Republican convention every year.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: This is like the state Republican Convention being held in
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Garden City. They're all at the Garden City Hotel right now.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Garden City's a beautiful place, beautiful one of the nicest
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: towns in Long Island. All kinds of stuff opening there lately.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: There's a new I of our own supermarket. There's a
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Tony's Tacos, which is all over Long Island, just open there.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: But tomorrow they'll nominate Blakeman at about this time tomorrow,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: and then they got some other races. They're going to
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: nominate Joseph Fernandez, candidate for state Controller. And then oh,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: the GOP candidate. There's going to be a Republican candidate
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: to take on Letitia James, the sleazy, awful Attorney general.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: So this will be former federal prosecutor Saritha. Oh good, well,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: you're gonna have a little trouble pronouncing this last name.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Comma to Reddy. I think it is all right, I said,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: But she's she's trying to get to see there's a
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: little battle there between two GOP. But you want to
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: get riddle Letitia James this year, that would be a great,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: great thing to do. Hey, Cardinal Dolan has left Saint Patrick's.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: But you know he's got an apartment now in New
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: York City. It's in a parish in murray Hill, but
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: it's a very nice apartment. He'll be living there. He's
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: not leaving New York. He'll be living here and he's
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: gonna take various jobs. One was announced yesterday he will
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: be the NYPD chaplain. There are a couple of them,
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: but he'll be I guess the head chaplain. The NYPD
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: chaplain is a great job taking care of our are
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: men and women in law enforcement. That's one thing he'll
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: be doing. He'll be uh in this parish where they
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: gave him a beautiful apartment. He'll be holding services there
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: and apparently other parishes. So you'll be able to on
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: a Sunday go see Cardinal Dolan. That's great news. Ronald Hicks,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: who took over, had his installation on Friday, first time ever.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: The mayor didn't show up. That's mom, Donnie. He didn't
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: show up. But you know he's I wouldn't think he's
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: too religious a guy, I don't know. He's a socialist,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: as he loves to say.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I was elected as a democratic socialist, and I will
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: govern as a democratic socialist. I will not abandon my
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: principles for fear of being deemed radical.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Well, that's great, you're socialist. Fortunately, got you picked the
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: wrong city. You get elected. This is the capitalism capital
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: of the world. It's like, if you hate cars, you
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: want to ban cars, you can't be.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: The mayor of Detroit. It doesn't make any sense. So
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: this is the Wall Street is our main industry, capitalism, finance,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: and he is he a socialist? Well, they asked Bill Maher.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: Democrats seem to be having this debate whether or not
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: mayor Mom Donnie is a socialist or a democratic socialist.
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: Let me settle it. He's a straight up communist. How
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: do I know this? Well, I'm reading between the lines
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: when one of his major advisors says, elect more communists,
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: which is fine, it's fine. It's a belief system. He's
