- 0:12Speaker 3: Now. There's some days where you go, ah, what am
- 0:14Speaker 3: I going to talk about today? This is not one
- 0:16Speaker 3: of those days. There's great stuff to get to today.
- 0:18Speaker 3: We'll get to Prince Andrew arrested. We'll get to the
- 0:21Speaker 3: gun three story. We'll get to Stephen Colbert, crazy little
- 0:25Speaker 3: mayor Mom Donnie, We'll get to Iran and a whole
- 0:28Speaker 3: lot more just ahead. Hey, here's some good news. First
- 0:32Speaker 3: of all, spring four weeks from now, daylight savings time
- 0:36Speaker 3: two weeks from now. Here's some great news. This is
- 0:39Speaker 3: the first day that alternate side parking is back. That
- 0:44Speaker 3: means the snow problem is officially over. Now. When the
- 0:48Speaker 3: snow was piled up everywhere and you couldn't there were
- 0:50Speaker 3: no parking spaces, they had to suspend that alternate side
- 0:53Speaker 3: of the street parking. I know, whatever the hell that is.
- 0:56Speaker 3: You got to keep moving your car.
- 0:57Speaker 4: But it's back.
- 0:58Speaker 3: They put it back in the effect this morning, which
- 1:01Speaker 3: means officially the snow crisis is over. And yesterday's complaining
- 1:05Speaker 3: about all the garbage piled up on the street. Here
- 1:07Speaker 3: it's gone today. So things are moving along as far
- 1:11Speaker 3: as garbage and snow. The rest of the city total
- 1:14Speaker 3: disaster with Mom Donnie. We'll get to him in a moment.
- 1:17Speaker 3: The big breaking news this morning Prince Andrew was arrested
- 1:20Speaker 3: at eight am a British time, eight am, which would
- 1:24Speaker 3: have been the middle of the night here, But we
- 1:28Speaker 3: all woke up to find out that Prince Andrew had
- 1:31Speaker 3: been arrested. Now, King Charles, Prince William, they all say
- 1:36Speaker 3: they didn't know about it, they weren't told about it,
- 1:39Speaker 3: that this arrest was strictly the government doing this. Strictly
- 1:43Speaker 3: the government involved in the arrest of Prince Andrew. Now
- 1:47Speaker 3: it has to do with the Epstein files. But it's
- 1:49Speaker 3: not about sex, it's not about underage women. It's about
- 1:53Speaker 3: passing along state secrets. Now, a guy like Empstein trades
- 1:59Speaker 3: in a lot of stuff and one reason, you know,
- 2:02Speaker 3: you had all these billionaires and all these big business
- 2:04Speaker 3: guys and foreign leaders all hanging around him. In some
- 2:08Speaker 3: cases they enjoyed some of the women, but in many
- 2:12Speaker 3: of these cases they were around Epstein because he could
- 2:15Speaker 3: get them stuff information. And apparently Prince Andrew for many years,
- 2:23Speaker 3: you know, believe it or not, way back when the
- 2:25Speaker 3: Queen thought of Prince Andrew as her favorite son, not
- 2:29Speaker 3: Prince Charles. It was Prince Andrew that was her favorite son.
- 2:32Speaker 3: She thought so much of him that she kind of
- 2:35Speaker 3: forced the government to give him a big job, and
- 2:40Speaker 3: he was made the official trade envoy for Great Britain.
- 2:45Speaker 3: It's something a lot of people thought was kind of
- 2:48Speaker 3: a ceremonial thing, but you could make it into something serious.
- 2:51Speaker 3: You went around the world as the trade representative, as
- 2:55Speaker 3: the envoy to all the different countries, and if you
- 2:58Speaker 3: knew what you were doing, and apparently Prince Andrew did,
- 3:00Speaker 3: you could pick up a lot of information, a lot
- 3:04Speaker 3: of inside intel about trade deals, about foreign stuff. And
- 3:09Speaker 3: these are state secrets that when you come back there
- 3:11Speaker 3: belong to the government, their secrets. And I guess they've
- 3:15Speaker 3: looked through the emails and enough stuff that they've decided
- 3:18Speaker 3: that Prince Andrew was This was always the suspicion, but
- 3:22Speaker 3: they've decided he was passing stuff along to Jeffrey Epstein,
- 3:27Speaker 3: who was then passing it along to his clients, his
- 3:30Speaker 3: business clients, and it apparently he's in the email. So
- 3:34Speaker 3: they've got and they must have found enough hard evidence, digitally,
- 3:39Speaker 3: computer whatever they've decided Andrew was not selling but trading
- 3:45Speaker 3: state secrets. It's a very serious crime. This is a
- 3:48Speaker 3: kind of crime where you could really go to prison,
- 3:50Speaker 3: and it's great Britain. Who knows they maybe they still
- 3:54Speaker 3: have hanging over there. I don't know, but it's a
- 3:56Speaker 3: very very serious thing. Andrew was arrested early this morning's birthday.
- 4:01Speaker 3: He was arrested on his birthday. He's the first Royal
- 4:03Speaker 3: family member to be arrested in four hundred years. So
- 4:09Speaker 3: it's a fascinating situation. He got the Prime Minister who
- 4:13Speaker 3: last night, in the middle of a speech in the
- 4:16Speaker 3: middle of nowhere, just in the speech, started talking about
- 4:19Speaker 3: how no one is above the law. Now, he just
- 4:22Speaker 3: threw that into the speech. Nobody thought anything of it
- 4:25Speaker 3: at the time, but he obviously knew that hours later
- 4:30Speaker 3: they were going to arrest Prince Andrew, so he actually
- 4:32Speaker 3: threw that into the speech about how no one is
- 4:34Speaker 3: above the law. He made a big deal out of that,
- 4:36Speaker 3: and I guess proved it this morning. And you can
- 4:41Speaker 3: always you've gotten the feeling that there's something some bad
- 4:45Speaker 3: blood between Prince Charles and Prince Andrew. Prince Charles particularly
- 4:49Speaker 3: cruel to him taking away every title he had. You
- 4:52Speaker 3: could take away the prince, but he took away every
- 4:54Speaker 3: other title, every little title. He threw him out of
- 4:57Speaker 3: his house. He had to leave his castle, moved to
- 4:59Speaker 3: us smaller castle. Can you imagine the humiliation of having
- 5:03Speaker 3: to move to a smaller castle. So he's under arrest.
- 5:08Speaker 3: You know, when it comes to this royal family, they're
- 5:11Speaker 3: like the biggest welfare case in the world. Nobody can
- 5:13Speaker 3: figure out what the hell these people do all day.
- 5:16Speaker 3: They get a fortune from the government for castles and
- 5:20Speaker 3: coaches and all those Buckingham Palace type guards and all
- 5:23Speaker 3: this pomp and circumstance. They're all multi zillionaires. The royal
- 5:28Speaker 3: family has billions of dollars and nobody knows what the
- 5:33Speaker 3: hell do they do all day? I mean, if you're
- 5:35Speaker 3: a member the royal family you want to call in sick,
- 5:37Speaker 3: who would you even call? Who would even miss you?
- 5:40Speaker 3: I mean basically all you do? What do they do? Actually,
- 5:45Speaker 3: I guess the biggest job they have is when there's
- 5:47Speaker 3: a big parade. They sit there in the stand and
- 5:50Speaker 3: they wave as the parade goes by reviewing a parade,
- 5:54Speaker 3: that's their big function in life. So I guess. No
- 5:58Speaker 3: matter what you know, they say, Oh, the Queen was
- 6:00Speaker 3: still working at ninety eight. You're just sitting there watching
- 6:03Speaker 3: a parade. How hard is that. Maybe you got a wave.
- 6:06Speaker 3: It's not that. As long as your arm can move,
- 6:08Speaker 3: you can be a member of the royal family. So
- 6:13Speaker 3: here's the other thing. Nancy Guthrie. Nancy Guthrie, Now this
- 6:16Speaker 3: is interesting. The DNA was not in the DNA base,
- 6:21Speaker 3: but you could still get stuff out of the DNA.
- 6:26Speaker 3: We have a database of twenty two million people who
- 6:29Speaker 3: DNA we have on file. It's mostly people that have
- 6:32Speaker 3: been arrested, criminals, maybe military, law enforcement, and sometimes people
- 6:36Speaker 3: that have used those what do you call those like
- 6:39Speaker 3: an ancestry dot com where you go check your DNA. Hey,
- 6:43Speaker 3: by the way, there's a bunch of those services where
- 6:45Speaker 3: you can send in your DNA and they can tell
- 6:47Speaker 3: you your whole ancestry. Send it to three different services,
- 6:53Speaker 3: you'll get three different answers. Don't rely on those too much.
- 6:57Speaker 5: But.
- 6:59Speaker 3: They still say, even though the DNA doesn't match anybody,
- 7:02Speaker 3: even though they don't get a name of somebody, that
- 7:04Speaker 3: there's things you can tell from the DNA. You can
- 7:06Speaker 3: get an idea of the race background, maybe coloring something
- 7:13Speaker 3: like that. There's stuff they can get out of the DNA.
- 7:15Speaker 3: Now here's the other thing they've been doing, and I
- 7:19Speaker 3: didn't A lot of people don't know that you can
- 7:21Speaker 3: do this. You know, if you're a criminal, they can
- 7:24Speaker 3: come grab your computers and all that and look and
- 7:27Speaker 3: see what you were doing on your computer. And I
- 7:30Speaker 3: guess you know that they could also go to Google
- 7:33Speaker 3: and get the record of your Google searches. You know
- 7:36Speaker 3: you're a criminal, they can go see what were you searching,
- 7:38Speaker 3: you know, and they say, oh, this guy was searching
- 7:40Speaker 3: how to make a bomb or you know, how to
- 7:43Speaker 3: do know how to kidnap somebody. Well, then then they'd
- 7:47Speaker 3: have evidence against you. But there's such a thing as
- 7:49Speaker 3: a reverse Google search, so they can go to Google
- 7:54Speaker 3: and they can get a hold all the searches of everybody.
- 7:58Speaker 3: So they've apparently been doing that. Now the local police
- 8:01Speaker 3: are not going to be able to pull this off,
- 8:03Speaker 3: but the FBI is involved and they know how to
- 8:05Speaker 3: do this. So the FBI has been working with Google
- 8:08Speaker 3: for the last week or two checking reverse searches. So
- 8:12Speaker 3: they're looking to see who, if anyone who went on
- 8:16Speaker 3: Google and searched where does Nancy Guthrie live or what
- 8:20Speaker 3: is Nancy Guthrie's address, so they can see who's been
- 8:25Speaker 3: searching that. They can see, you know, who's been researching
- 8:30Speaker 3: that and then searching doing Google searches on Savannah Guthrie.
- 8:35Speaker 3: So let's say somebody was Google searching how much does
- 8:39Speaker 3: Savannah Guthrie make? What's her net worth? Then they're searching
- 8:42Speaker 3: what is Nancy Guthrie's address, that kind of stuff, and
- 8:47Speaker 3: then you can see who's searched that. So if they,
- 8:51Speaker 3: you know, you may not realize, they can do a
- 8:52Speaker 3: reverse Google search and then they'll see what computer it
- 8:56Speaker 3: came from, and then they'll track down that computer. So
- 9:00Speaker 3: they're looking at the weeks and months leading up to
- 9:03Speaker 3: the kidnapping and to see who it is. Strange things
- 9:06Speaker 3: have come out, you know. Nancy Savannah Guthrie wrote a
- 9:09Speaker 3: book way back when biography and people have noticed that.
- 9:14Speaker 3: In the book, Savannah Guthrie said that as when she
- 9:18Speaker 3: was a little kid, her sisters and the family and
- 9:23Speaker 3: the aunt played a little game where they would kidnap
- 9:27Speaker 3: each other. Well, it's that eerie. They would kidnap each
- 9:31Speaker 3: other and then go to the ant's house or something
- 9:33Speaker 3: and then call their mother and say, we've been kidnapped.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Come get I mean, I've never have you ever heard
- 9:38Speaker 3: of anybody playing a game like that. Very strange. Now
- 9:42Speaker 3: that was in her book. Maybe that's why people started
- 9:44Speaker 3: suspecting family members of being involved. But the police have
- 9:48Speaker 3: said absolutely not. They don't think any think they've cleared
- 9:52Speaker 3: every family member they believe. Hey, the State of the
- 9:56Speaker 3: Union addresses coming up on Tuesday. This Tuesday, the big
- 10:00Speaker 3: State of the Union addressed. Now this is an important
- 10:02Speaker 3: thing because it's the one time the whole nation watches
- 10:05Speaker 3: President Trump and he can start to explain all this stuff.
- 10:09Speaker 3: You know, Democrats have created this whole fake narrative that
- 10:12Speaker 3: the economy is bad, we're in an affordability crisis, when
- 10:16Speaker 3: in fact, inflation has come down dramatically, real wages are up,
- 10:22Speaker 3: economy is doing much better than before. We've got a
- 10:25Speaker 3: waste to go, but it's been incredible improvement in just
- 10:28Speaker 3: the first year. So he can lay out all the
- 10:30Speaker 3: numbers and clear up that myth. So so people will for
- 10:33Speaker 3: the first time here that even with ice, he can
- 10:35Speaker 3: explain what they've done. You know, people think they're just
- 10:38Speaker 3: going out in the street harassing people. But he can
- 10:40Speaker 3: start listing who they've arrested and just run down how
- 10:44Speaker 3: many dangerous criminals, how many rapists, how many robbers. So
- 10:48Speaker 3: it's a chance to get the facts out to the nation.
- 10:52Speaker 3: That's for President Trump. Now for the Democrats, every time
- 10:56Speaker 3: we have a State of the Union, it's a chance
- 10:58Speaker 3: for them to brass themselves again. Democrats have this new
- 11:03Speaker 3: tradition of totally embarrassing themselves at every State of the Union.
- 11:07Speaker 3: Remember the Nancy Pelosi ripping up the speech just like
- 11:10Speaker 3: a ridiculous tantrum, you know, childish tantrum. Remember the Democrats booing.
- 11:19Speaker 3: You remember when President Trump introduced the poor kids suffering from cancer,
- 11:22Speaker 3: and they refuse to applaud for him. Remember he had
- 11:26Speaker 3: the great hero and had him take about the Democrats
- 11:29Speaker 3: refuse to applaud. So they always use every State of
- 11:32Speaker 3: the Union as a chance to completely embarrass themselves and
- 11:36Speaker 3: turn off America. So they'll do it again this Tuesday night.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Now here's one of the things they're planning. Many of
- 11:42Speaker 3: them are planning not to go to the State of
- 11:44Speaker 3: the Union and instead have a State of the Union
- 11:48Speaker 3: of their own State of the Union. Rally. Let me see,
- 11:53Speaker 3: it's called the People State of the Union. Multiple Democrats
- 11:57Speaker 3: are planning to do that. It'll be on the National
- 12:00Speaker 3: Mall near the Capital, and the lefty media outlet midas
- 12:06Speaker 3: Touch and progressive group move on dot org are organizing
- 12:10Speaker 3: this now. Hakeem Jeffries, for instance, No, his plan is
- 12:14Speaker 3: to attend the State of the Union, said as a
- 12:17Speaker 3: House leaders, he's got to do. But many of these
- 12:19Speaker 3: Democrats will be at this alternate one. So President of
- 12:23Speaker 3: the United States State of the Union in the Great
- 12:26Speaker 3: Da Hall and Congress that has one look to it.
- 12:29Speaker 3: And then you'll see Democrats on the National Mall yelling
- 12:32Speaker 3: and screaming and chanting. Obviously they'll have the worst signs
- 12:35Speaker 3: about Hitler and Nazi whatever. So again, Democrats always use
- 12:40Speaker 3: the State of the Union to completely completely embarrass themselves. Hey, mom,
- 12:47Speaker 3: Johnny threatening to raise property tax ten percent, which is
- 12:51Speaker 3: absolutely insane. Obviously New York. If you live in New
- 12:56Speaker 3: York City, property tax is crazy. It's already in sane,
- 13:02Speaker 3: just awful. If you live in Long Island. It's always
- 13:04Speaker 3: been bad. Good thing for Bruce Blake when he's done
- 13:06Speaker 3: everything he can to fight that and take care of that.
- 13:09Speaker 3: New Jersey it's still pretty bad. Westchester, it's pretty bad.
- 13:12Speaker 3: But New York City property tax is absolutely ridiculous, So
- 13:18Speaker 3: to raise it ten percent is totally insane. You should
- 13:21Speaker 3: be literally put in in a looney bin for even
- 13:24Speaker 3: suggesting it. Mom, Donnie who's never had a job, never
- 13:28Speaker 3: managed anything, comes into Can you mention, never had a job?
- 13:32Speaker 3: Can you mention if you never had a job in
- 13:33Speaker 3: your first job was at a little company where you
- 13:35Speaker 3: were in charge of the budget and the book keeping,
- 13:38Speaker 3: you wouldn't even know how to handle it. You can imagine
- 13:41Speaker 3: your first job is handling the budget of New York City. Now,
- 13:43Speaker 3: first of all, the budget in New York City is ridiculous.
- 13:46Speaker 3: It's one hundred and twenty billion dollars a year. It
- 13:48Speaker 3: should be about twelve billion. Most cities, Chicago, cities like that,
- 13:53Speaker 3: the budget's about ten billion, So it hap to be
- 13:56Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty billion. That's more than most states.
- 13:59Speaker 3: That's more than the state of Florida's budget one hundred
- 14:01Speaker 3: and twenty billion. It should be actually should be cut
- 14:04Speaker 3: by about seventy five percent. But let's say you just
- 14:06Speaker 3: cut it in half. It's all waste, fraud, bloat. You
- 14:10Speaker 3: could easily cut it in half and cut the taxes
- 14:13Speaker 3: in half, but it's one hundred and twenty billion. He
- 14:15Speaker 3: wants to increase it, put more property tax.
- 14:18Speaker 6: What we put forward was what we characterized as actions
- 14:21Speaker 6: of last resort. I described them as last resort because
- 14:24Speaker 6: we have a broken property tax system in the city.
- 14:27Speaker 6: What we are hoping for, what we will spend every
- 14:29Speaker 6: day looking towards, is working with Albany to increase taxes
- 14:33Speaker 6: on the wealthiest and the most profitable corporations such that
- 14:36Speaker 6: a fiscal crisis is not resolved on the backs of
- 14:39Speaker 6: working in middle class New Yorkers.
- 14:41Speaker 3: Kah, hell is he talking about first? He says, So
- 14:43Speaker 3: it be last resort, last resort. You've been in office
- 14:46Speaker 3: two weeks. Two weeks. He already at your last resort.
- 14:50Speaker 3: That should be happening in the two years. Our property
- 14:53Speaker 3: tax system is broken, Yeah, because it's way too high,
- 14:56Speaker 3: so he wants to increase it. Every expert analyzing this
- 14:58Speaker 3: says he's completely.
- 14:59Speaker 7: In Mandane's actually been mayor for forty nine days. I
- 15:03Speaker 7: find it amusing that he refers to this as his
- 15:05Speaker 7: last resort. Option.
- 15:06Speaker 3: We've literally been in office.
- 15:08Speaker 7: You know, the snow'smen on the ground the entire time
- 15:11Speaker 7: that he's been in office, and he wants to already
- 15:13Speaker 7: raise New Yorker's taxes. Look, this is catastrophic because we
- 15:18Speaker 7: already pay the high New York has already pay the
- 15:19Speaker 7: highest among the highest taxes in the country. New York City,
- 15:23Speaker 7: which of course has an additional tax in addition to
- 15:25Speaker 7: state income tax, is excruciating the high tax.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Okay, he said what I said, but it sounds better
- 15:32Speaker 3: when he says it. You have a bitish accent and
- 15:34Speaker 3: you speak, you sound like a genius. Sounds much better
- 15:36Speaker 3: coming from him.
- 15:37Speaker 7: Properly, prices are very high in New York, so the
- 15:39Speaker 7: plan he has will hit not just the rich, as
- 15:41Speaker 7: they keep claiming, but huge numbers of middle class taxpayers.
- 15:45Speaker 7: So yeah, this is socialism and action. This is the
- 15:46Speaker 7: Democratic Party in action. I think the rest of the
- 15:48Speaker 7: country is watching now.
- 15:50Speaker 3: When you raise property tax, rents go up because somebody
- 15:56Speaker 3: owns your building, and the property tax goes up ten percent,
- 16:00Speaker 3: person now has to increase your rent by ten percent
- 16:02Speaker 3: to cover the new property tax. So he's gonna if
- 16:06Speaker 3: you have an increase in property tax, you're raising the
- 16:08Speaker 3: rent on everybody. Middle class, lower class, everybody, everybody. Now
- 16:14Speaker 3: here's the good news. As I've been telling you, we got,
- 16:17Speaker 3: for the first time in a lot of years, a
- 16:18Speaker 3: city council president who's normal, common sense. She's a Democrat,
- 16:22Speaker 3: but a common sense, old fashioned, normal democrat. She is.
- 16:26Speaker 3: It would actually be the city council that have to
- 16:28Speaker 3: raise the property taxes. She says she will not do it.
- 16:30Speaker 8: The governor has made clear that she is not raising taxes.
- 16:34Speaker 8: So with that said, we think we need to really
- 16:36Speaker 8: focus on saving. We cannot be raising property taxes on
- 16:40Speaker 8: the backs of small property owners, on the backs of renchers,
- 16:43Speaker 8: on the back of small businesses. That will worsen the
- 16:45Speaker 8: affordability crisis. So that is clearly off the table for us.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Hey, you go off the table. So hey, you know
- 16:51Speaker 3: Kevin O'Leary, Shark Tank, mister wonderful. They had him on
- 16:55Speaker 3: CNN with all these lefties yelling and screaming about how
- 16:58Speaker 3: you have to tax the rich and have more proper
- 17:00Speaker 3: pretty tax there on. So listen to Kevin O'Leary. He
- 17:03Speaker 3: was in the middle of this. They said, do you
- 17:04Speaker 3: have any final words? He said, yes, you're all nuts.
- 17:08Speaker 3: So they were all young, the but here he is
- 17:10Speaker 3: a later yesterday, I'm the subject of mom Donnie.
- 17:13Speaker 9: This is bat poopoo crazy what he is proposing. And
- 17:18Speaker 9: probably sometime next year, within twelve to eighteen months, I
- 17:21Speaker 9: will meet him in Miami and give him real Estate.
- 17:27Speaker 3: A Year award.
- 17:28Speaker 9: Because I'm not happy with what's happening. I can't get
- 17:31Speaker 9: across the bridge anymore. I live in Miami Beach. Everybody
- 17:34Speaker 9: from New York and New Jersey and Massachusetts is moving
- 17:37Speaker 9: into my neighborhood. I'm pissed off, and this guy's just
- 17:40Speaker 9: doing more of it. What he's proposing is beyond insane.
- 17:44Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, nowadays, he said, I'm getting out of New York.
- 17:47Speaker 3: I'm sick of the traffic. Can't fight at parking. Well,
- 17:50Speaker 3: go to Miami. It's even worse. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven. Ten is
- 17:56Speaker 3: the number. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven
- 18:00Speaker 3: And oh well, let me just remind you we're doing
- 18:03Speaker 3: this big event. It's a big cocktail party. If you

- 19:45Speaker 5: Hello?
- 19:45Speaker 10: Mark? Fine? Thank you?
- 19:47Speaker 3: I do remember from Saint James is a beautiful place
- 19:50Speaker 3: in What a name for a town. I'm from St.
- 19:52Speaker 3: St James.
- 19:53Speaker 10: I used to live in St. Olmans now.

- 19:59Speaker 3: the name? But go not you, but go ahead.
- 20:02Speaker 10: Do you remember Mayor Beam a Beam? Yeah, when he
- 20:05Speaker 10: was having financial troubles. Yeah, the city was in default,
- 20:10Speaker 10: paid back the bank loans and they declared a new
- 20:15Speaker 10: bond program, Big Max Municipal Assistance Corporation, high interest BOMDS
- 20:21Speaker 10: bonds paid bought by the public, paid back and solve
- 20:26Speaker 10: the problem.
- 20:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 20:27Speaker 3: No, it's a good point. You know, when the city
- 20:29Speaker 3: was in financial crisis, they're about to go bankrupt. What
- 20:33Speaker 3: you're supposed to do the mayor and others. They turned
- 20:35Speaker 3: to the great business minds, the great financial geniuses Felix
- 20:39Speaker 3: Royatan and others. Rockefeller got involved. But you know, you're
- 20:43Speaker 3: in the middle of New York. You've got the greatest
- 20:45Speaker 3: financial geniuses in the world at work here that can
- 20:48Speaker 3: save anything, save corporations, save you. Turn to them, you
- 20:52Speaker 3: go see them, call them and they'll help you. They'll
- 20:55Speaker 3: help you. You know, you call all of our top
- 20:57Speaker 3: financial minds that right here in New York, they will
- 20:59Speaker 3: be They'll come right down the city Hall, meet with you.
- 21:03Speaker 3: They will help you. But if your mom Donnie, and
- 21:04Speaker 3: you're an angry little socialist, you don't know how to
- 21:07Speaker 3: do that. Even when it comes to police stuff, if
- 21:10Speaker 3: you called the greatest police geniuses in the world, you've
- 21:12Speaker 3: called Ray Kelly, I guarantee he would he'd be happy
- 21:16Speaker 3: to help you. That's the kind of people there. Anybody
- 21:19Speaker 3: are great police leaders. But if you called them and said, hey,
- 21:22Speaker 3: could you come down, could you consult us help? Yeah,
- 21:24Speaker 3: I'd be happy to You've got access to all this genius,
- 21:28Speaker 3: and they're so bitter and nasty, these crazy left wingers,
- 21:32Speaker 3: they could never do it. Let's go to Carissa and Queens.
- 21:35Speaker 3: How you doing okay?
- 21:38Speaker 11: How are you Mark?
- 21:39Speaker 3: I'm good.
- 21:41Speaker 12: Good.
- 21:42Speaker 11: It's been a while since I talked to you that
- 21:44Speaker 11: I remember. But when man Dami was running, the first
- 21:48Speaker 11: thing I said was that this was going to be
- 21:50Speaker 11: a total disaster.
- 21:52Speaker 3: Really, everybody thought he was going to be wonderful. You
- 21:54Speaker 3: thought you knew he'd be bad. Huh.
- 21:57Speaker 11: And I'll make another prediction along line that Curtis made
- 22:01Speaker 11: about Adams. I believe he's gonna have to be removed
- 22:05Speaker 11: from office. I don't think he's gonna be able to
- 22:07Speaker 11: fit intill four year term.
- 22:09Speaker 3: Well, you know that's a good point, that's an excellent point.
- 22:12Speaker 3: You know, the governor has the power to remove him.
- 22:14Speaker 3: Hochel is such a coward and so busy catering to
- 22:17Speaker 3: the left. But very very very good chance Bruce Blakeman
- 22:21Speaker 3: will be the governor a year from now, and as
- 22:24Speaker 3: governor he can remove Mom. Donnie. You know, if the
- 22:30Speaker 3: actually Bruce Blakeman will be with us tomorrow, maybe we'll
- 22:32Speaker 3: asking me. There's all kinds of complicated law about New York.
- 22:35Speaker 3: If the budget goes crazy, if New York goes into
- 22:38Speaker 3: total fiscal disaster, the governor can step in and take
- 22:41Speaker 3: control of our budget, and he'll do what he did
- 22:43Speaker 3: in Long Island, which is cut costs, get rid of
- 22:46Speaker 3: the waist, the fraud, the bloats, straighten everything out. So
- 22:50Speaker 3: but anyway, we got a lot to get to today.
- 22:52Speaker 3: We'll take some more calls a little later. When we
- 22:55Speaker 3: come back. Liz Peak will be with us next. The
- 22:57Speaker 3: brilliant columnist just ahead on.
- 23:01Speaker 1: R here's more Marks alone on seventeen wo R.

- 23:31Speaker 12: I'm terrific, so much better for being with you.
- 23:33Speaker 4: Mark.
- 23:34Speaker 3: Well, thanks. I think everyone's a little shocked. I wake
- 23:37Speaker 3: up this morning find out Prince Andrew has been arrested.
- 23:42Speaker 12: But you know it's it's interesting.
- 23:43Speaker 13: I mean, I'm sure you know it's not because he
- 23:47Speaker 13: may have had sexual relations with underage girls. It's really
- 23:50Speaker 13: because he may have passed secrets to Jeffrey Epstein. I mean,
- 23:55Speaker 13: I think, you know, I think the underlying story, what
- 23:58Speaker 13: we're gonna hear more and more or maybe come out
- 24:02Speaker 13: from the Jeffrey Epstein revelations is that the guy was
- 24:06Speaker 13: a master blackmailer and he, you know, got people like
- 24:10Speaker 13: Prince Andrew and who knows who else into compromising situations
- 24:15Speaker 13: and then took advantage of that. You know that we've
- 24:19Speaker 13: not really ever heard the explanation for Leon Black paying
- 24:23Speaker 13: him tens of millions of dollars. I'm sure there are
- 24:26Speaker 13: other people who are going to be implicated in the
- 24:28Speaker 13: same way.
- 24:29Speaker 12: But what a horrible thing for the Royal family. I mean,
- 24:31Speaker 12: I must.
- 24:32Speaker 13: Say, you know, they've had their share of pretty tough
- 24:37Speaker 13: hits in the last couple of years, with Kate Middleton
- 24:41Speaker 13: having cancer and Charles having cancer, and now this is
- 24:45Speaker 13: supreme embarrassment.
- 24:47Speaker 12: You know, I have to say, my heart goes out
- 24:49Speaker 12: to the family.
- 24:50Speaker 3: I got to disagree a little let Royal family. They
- 24:52Speaker 3: got more nonsense going on through these remember Fergie and
- 24:55Speaker 3: all that stuff, and well that was Prince Andrew's their wife,
- 24:58Speaker 3: but it was there's always some embarrassing stuff with that
- 25:01Speaker 3: royal family, not as bad as this, but.
- 25:04Speaker 12: No, this is this is pretty terrible.
- 25:06Speaker 13: And you know, I think what's sort of tragic is that,
- 25:11Speaker 13: you know, Queen Elizabeth to me was a really outstanding, steady,
- 25:17Speaker 13: tough person, no question, but you have to be pretty
- 25:20Speaker 13: tough in her in her life, I think, And you know,
- 25:24Speaker 13: it's for next generation problems, right, I mean, I think
- 25:27Speaker 13: Charles is sort of a fool, uh and not a
- 25:30Speaker 13: very well respected person. So then you go to the
- 25:33Speaker 13: next generation and they've just had you know, I mean,
- 25:36Speaker 13: to have Kate get Ill and all of that.
- 25:39Speaker 12: It's just I think it's been a pretty tough couple
- 25:40Speaker 12: of years.
- 25:41Speaker 13: But anyway, this is a whole new chapter and pretty
- 25:45Speaker 13: disgraceful obviously.
- 25:46Speaker 3: Yeah. I also I never thought I still don't buy
- 25:49Speaker 3: that Epstein was such a blackmailer. He had a way
- 25:51Speaker 3: of just luring these guys in with all kinds of
- 25:55Speaker 3: you know, it wasn't just the women. If you I've
- 25:57Speaker 3: been reading the file so carefully. He dangles celebrities in
- 26:01Speaker 3: front of them, set up dinners with Woody Allen and
- 26:03Speaker 3: this person and that person, and you know, you know,
- 26:06Speaker 3: those guys are as starstruck as anybody in fall for
- 26:09Speaker 3: that s master manipulator.
- 26:11Speaker 13: On the other hand, if you're Prince Andrew and you
- 26:14Speaker 13: have that there are pictures of you with these underage girls,
- 26:18Speaker 13: pretty much you'll do anything he wants you to.
- 26:20Speaker 3: Yeah. So, hey, State of the Union addresses coming up Tuesday.
- 26:25Speaker 3: As I said before, it's always an opportunity for Democrats
- 26:28Speaker 3: to totally embarrass themselves. And yeah, now they're talking about
- 26:32Speaker 3: having their own State of the Union somewhere else. Isn't
- 26:35Speaker 3: that going to backfire on them?
- 26:37Speaker 5: Well?
- 26:37Speaker 13: What I almost tweeted about this and then I couldn't
- 26:40Speaker 13: really figure out how to, you know, make it interesting.
- 26:43Speaker 13: But they're calling their performance and honestly, when did Democrats
- 26:48Speaker 13: become the performance party? But that's kind of what they've
- 26:51Speaker 13: evolved into. They have no policies they want to talk about.
- 26:55Speaker 13: All they do is hate Trump and then sort of
- 26:57Speaker 13: showcase that hatred with endless stilibuster speeches, et cetera, et cetera.
- 27:02Speaker 13: And that course, here's the newest one, which is a
- 27:06Speaker 13: State of the Union for the people. Okay, well, their
- 27:08Speaker 13: biggest complaint about Donald Trump is as a populist.
- 27:12Speaker 12: What does that mean, Mark, That means he's of the people.
- 27:14Speaker 13: Right, So, when you have a president elected by a
- 27:19Speaker 13: majority of voters, this is no longer a fringe candidate.
- 27:23Speaker 13: This is no longer someone who doesn't represent the will
- 27:27Speaker 13: of the people. He clearly does. And so I think
- 27:31Speaker 13: for that, you know, look, I think the Republicans have
- 27:34Speaker 13: lost some important contests recently, some elections have gone the
- 27:39Speaker 13: wrong way. Obviously the country in the midterms, as usual,
- 27:44Speaker 13: is ready to sort of voice some discontent with what's
- 27:47Speaker 13: going on. But the reality is, this guy, Donald Trump
- 27:52Speaker 13: is getting stuff done. He is fixing what's broken in
- 27:54Speaker 13: the government. A lot of people are applauding that. So
- 27:58Speaker 13: I think just your case on how vile the president
- 28:04Speaker 13: is is pretty weak gruel, and I just cannot imagine
- 28:07Speaker 13: that in the midterms people are going to turn out. Now,
- 28:11Speaker 13: the risk to the GOP is that Trump voters just
- 28:14Speaker 13: are not reliable voters.
- 28:17Speaker 12: But then a lot of the Democratic.
- 28:18Speaker 13: Coalition isn't reliable either. Young people don't always vote in
- 28:23Speaker 13: the midterms, and minorities don't always vote in the midterms.
- 28:26Speaker 12: So we'll see what happens.
- 28:27Speaker 13: But the more that they embarrass themselves by acting out
- 28:32Speaker 13: by the way, Hakim Jeffries, the minority leader, has asked
- 28:36Speaker 13: Democrats not to do this because I think he's aware
- 28:39Speaker 13: that it just embarrasses them.
- 28:42Speaker 3: Yeah, the President's done a great job foreign policy economies,
- 28:48Speaker 3: but Democrats create this fake narrative, this affordability crisis. So
- 28:52Speaker 3: isn't this a big opportunity for him to just hole
- 28:55Speaker 3: public will be watching and he can lay out the
- 28:57Speaker 3: actual facts on inflation. Way, yes, So won't that change everything?
- 29:02Speaker 13: Well, I don't know if it'll change everything, because of
- 29:04Speaker 13: course you'll have commentators immediately fact checking everything he says.
- 29:10Speaker 13: But if he sticks to the facts, mark, yes, if
- 29:13Speaker 13: he claims growth, we're you know, if he claims we're
- 29:16Speaker 13: striving for fifteen percent growth, no.
- 29:19Speaker 12: That's not going to work.
- 29:20Speaker 13: But we don't need to make up exaggerated numbers. We
- 29:23Speaker 13: don't need to talk about stuff that it's not real,
- 29:26Speaker 13: because the story right now is extremely persuasive.
- 29:30Speaker 12: And I must say, the FED minutes are just really
- 29:35Speaker 12: sort of make my head hurt.
- 29:37Speaker 13: Because Bloomberg did a piece this morning on the FED
- 29:40Speaker 13: notes that were made public yesterday.
- 29:42Speaker 12: I was like, well, they may.
- 29:43Speaker 13: Have to raise rates because of inflation, you know, not
- 29:47Speaker 13: being where they wanted to be. Inflation numbers just recently
- 29:50Speaker 13: were extremely good, very beneficial, two point four percent. It
- 29:55Speaker 13: is coming down. A lot of people think that actual
- 29:57Speaker 13: inflation right now is closer to one if you stop
- 30:01Speaker 13: measuring rent and household expenditures in a sort of mixed
- 30:10Speaker 13: up way. It's the numbers on inflation are actually pretty good.
- 30:14Speaker 13: Are they good enough? Maybe not, but you're not You're
- 30:17Speaker 13: certainly not about to embark on a rate hiking cycle.
- 30:22Speaker 13: But I mean, it's such a typical Bloomberg or MSNBC
- 30:26Speaker 13: or whatever description. Just make it sound as bad as
- 30:30Speaker 13: it possibly can be. So to your point, Donald Trump
- 30:34Speaker 13: has an opportunity on Tuesday night to talk to the
- 30:37Speaker 13: American people about what's happening in our economy. We have
- 30:40Speaker 13: an investment boom, Housing starts are up. Affordability on housing,
- 30:45Speaker 13: by the way, is getting better because mortgage rates have
- 30:48Speaker 13: come down. I mean, there is a whole slew of
- 30:52Speaker 13: positive developments that have come out.
- 30:55Speaker 12: Just even in the last few weeks. And here's another thing.
- 30:59Speaker 12: I talked about this there yesterday.
- 31:00Speaker 13: A couple of times aoc an inner terrible appearance in
- 31:05Speaker 13: Munich and then the explanation afterwards talks about the central
- 31:09Speaker 13: thing that Democrats want to impress upon the American people,
- 31:13Speaker 13: the fact that income inequality is so terrible and the
- 31:16Speaker 13: richer getting richer and blah.
- 31:18Speaker 12: Blah blah, it is not true.
- 31:20Speaker 13: The Economist, a very left wing magazine, devoted an entire
- 31:25Speaker 13: cover story this week to the fact that actually, because
- 31:29Speaker 13: of progressive taxes such as we have here in the
- 31:31Speaker 13: United States, income inequality has.
- 31:34Speaker 12: Been going down, not only in the US but also
- 31:37Speaker 12: in Europe. So their whole narrative is wrong. It's wrong.
- 31:41Speaker 13: They're wrong on marijuana, they're wrong on gender surgeries, and
- 31:45Speaker 13: they're wrong on economic inequality, and you know, they'll never
- 31:50Speaker 13: admit it, but the truth is they're wrong. And so
- 31:53Speaker 13: you know, I think that bleeds into reasonable and wise
- 31:59Speaker 13: critiques of people like mom Donnie, who's trying to force
- 32:02Speaker 13: all this tax hikes and stuff down the ridge because
- 32:06Speaker 13: of income inequality, wealth inequality and stuff, and people rightly
- 32:10Speaker 13: are putting back, pushing back and saying, hey, you're going
- 32:13Speaker 13: to kill your own city.
- 32:14Speaker 12: So it's stupid, But b your narrative is just false.

- 33:32Speaker 3: Well, hey, we got a lot to get to this hour.
- 33:35Speaker 3: Prince Andrew, as you know, was arrested like seven hours
- 33:40Speaker 3: ago eight hours apparently, is still in custody as we speak.
- 33:45Speaker 3: He remains in custody and police are searching his residences.
- 33:51Speaker 3: I guess they're going through his computers. Oh my god,
- 33:53Speaker 3: could you mention what's on this guy's computer? This is
- 33:57Speaker 3: not going to go well for him. They're looking through
- 34:00Speaker 3: documents there. There are also a lot of people who
- 34:04Speaker 3: are saying that this guy's going to be in real
- 34:07Speaker 3: trouble Prince Andrew, and if they seize his computers and
- 34:09Speaker 3: look at his Google searches and what porn sites he
- 34:13Speaker 3: was on and this is it's going to be very
- 34:16Speaker 3: bad for him. So he's going to find himself in
- 34:18Speaker 3: major trouble, facing prison. Most people say that know him say,
- 34:23Speaker 3: this is a guy who will squeal, talk, do anything
- 34:26Speaker 3: to get out of trouble, make a deal. He will
- 34:28Speaker 3: turn people in left and right. Who knows what he
- 34:31Speaker 3: knows and what he can trade. But this is going
- 34:34Speaker 3: to get very very interesting, you know, cops are you know,
- 34:40Speaker 3: although he's got a couple of residences, a convoy of
- 34:43Speaker 3: vehicles pulled into his various houses convoys of vehicles and
- 34:48Speaker 3: are searching everything. The search is continuing as we speak.
- 34:53Speaker 3: This is again, this is going to be really ugly
- 34:55Speaker 3: before it's over. We have assembled off the Iranian coast,
- 35:01Speaker 3: off the near Iran. We have the biggest strike force
- 35:05Speaker 3: we've assembled in I think ever, maybe huge, huge, huge
- 35:11Speaker 3: strike force. We've just sent the USS Gerald Ford there.
- 35:15Speaker 3: That is the largest warship on Earth. It's the most
- 35:19Speaker 3: advanced aircraft carrier we have nuclear powered. It's designed to
- 35:23Speaker 3: carry more than seventy five aircraft F thirty five c's
- 35:27Speaker 3: lightning two stealth fighters, super hornets, growler radar jamming jets.
- 35:33Speaker 3: I mean, this is serious stuff. This is in addition
- 35:36Speaker 3: to everything else. We've got four destroyers there. We've got
- 35:41Speaker 3: destroyers patrolling the straits of Hormose. We've got the Lincoln
- 35:47Speaker 3: warship is there. So this is really really serious stuff.
- 35:50Speaker 3: This is way way, way beyond what we did in Venezuela.
- 35:54Speaker 3: And Iran is doing what Iran usually does, being ridiculous,
- 36:01Speaker 3: threatening everything on Earth, threatening the president, threatening all kinds
- 36:06Speaker 3: of stuff. But again a Maduro tried that it's not
- 36:09Speaker 3: a good strategy, but if they were smart, they would
- 36:12Speaker 3: make a deal of some kind. We are negotiating with
- 36:15Speaker 3: them in Europe. I think in Paris, if they had
- 36:18Speaker 3: any brains, they would make a deal. But they can
- 36:21Speaker 3: think they're just too stupid to do it. Here's the
- 36:23Speaker 3: White House Press secretary.
- 36:24Speaker 14: The President has always been very clear though, with respect
- 36:26Speaker 14: to Iran or any country around the world, diplomacy is
- 36:28Speaker 14: always his first option. And Iran would be very wise
- 36:32Speaker 14: to make a deal with President Trump and with this administration.
- 36:36Speaker 3: But the keywords they're very wise. That's not Iran, very crazy,
- 36:40Speaker 3: but not very wise. Here's Vice President of Vance.
- 36:42Speaker 15: We do have a very powerful military. The President's shown
- 36:44Speaker 15: a willingness to use it. He also has a remarkable
- 36:47Speaker 15: diplomatic team. He shown a willingness to use that too.
- 36:49Speaker 15: Our primary interest here is we don't want Ran to
- 36:52Speaker 15: get a nuclear weapon. We don't want nuclear proliferation. If
- 36:54Speaker 15: it Ran gets a nuclear weapon. There are a lot
- 36:56Speaker 15: of other regimes, some friendly, some not so friendly, whoul
- 36:59Speaker 15: get nuclear weapons after them. That would be a disaster
- 37:02Speaker 15: for the American people. The President has all options on
- 37:04Speaker 15: the table.
- 37:06Speaker 3: The brilliant response from Iran.
- 37:09Speaker 16: We've stated these many times. My own statements are not important.
- 37:13Speaker 16: What matters from an ideological standpoint, is the policy and
- 37:17Speaker 16: the foutois of the Supreme Leader. We are in no
- 37:19Speaker 16: way seeking nuclear weapons. Whatever form of verification they want
- 37:24Speaker 16: to carry out, we are ready for that verification to
- 37:27Speaker 16: take place.
- 37:28Speaker 3: Well, that's great if you like lying gibberish. AOC is
- 37:31Speaker 3: more clear than that. What a word, salad of nonsense.
- 37:34Speaker 3: So and again we've seen with the bombing of the
- 37:39Speaker 3: Iran nuclear facilities, which was an incredible military operation, from
- 37:43Speaker 3: the seizing of Maduro where we unveiled all kinds of
- 37:46Speaker 3: secret weapons nobody knew we had. That just paralyzes the
- 37:49Speaker 3: enemy literally, we've seen all this. Obvious we always had
- 37:54Speaker 3: the most powerful military, but it's obvious that everything under
- 37:57Speaker 3: Trump in the last year has been cranked up to
- 38:00Speaker 3: absolute state of the art and beyond military weapons, tactics,
- 38:05Speaker 3: techniques and say what you want about Pete Hegseith, but
- 38:07Speaker 3: he is run now in his first year some of
- 38:11Speaker 3: the most amazing, unbelievable military operations ever. So if I
- 38:17Speaker 3: were i Ran, I would take note of that. I
- 38:18Speaker 3: would take note of that. Obviously, our intelligence is very
- 38:22Speaker 3: good over there. When we took out the nuclear reactors,
- 38:25Speaker 3: and people are saying This could happen soon as soon
- 38:27Speaker 3: as Saturday, a couple of days from now. But if
- 38:29Speaker 3: this happens, obviously we will very very quickly, in just seconds,
- 38:34Speaker 3: take out every military asset of Iran. If we wanted
- 38:37Speaker 3: to go in and just seize the leader and take
- 38:39Speaker 3: them out physically take them out. We saw how we
- 38:42Speaker 3: can do that with Maduro. So keep an eye on
- 38:45Speaker 3: that could happen this weekend State of the Union Tuesday.
- 38:48Speaker 3: Maybe they want to have it done by Tuesday, who knows,
- 38:52Speaker 3: but keep an eye on it. Nancy Guthrie, Hey, they're
- 38:57Speaker 3: looking in Mexico. There is a couple of these ransom notes.
- 39:01Speaker 3: They don't know if they're real, they're not real, but
- 39:04Speaker 3: a couple of them have indicated that she's in Mexico.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Where she lives is very close. It's like sixteen miles
- 39:10Speaker 3: from the border. So as the kidnappers escaped, obviously be
- 39:15Speaker 3: smart and quick to get over the border into Mexico.
- 39:18Speaker 3: We have apparently started working with Mexican authorities for them
- 39:22Speaker 3: to start helping. You know, there's a task force. Everybody
- 39:25Speaker 3: hates this local sheriff there, what's his name, Nano Nanos, whatever,
- 39:30Speaker 3: isn't it? They just think he's a Barney Fife, grand standing,
- 39:33Speaker 3: small town bumbling a show off. But we've got the
- 39:38Speaker 3: FBI there. Apparently with the FBI and the FEDS, the
- 39:41Speaker 3: Trump is sent. They have a team of four hundred
- 39:44Speaker 3: people on the ground, four hundred working on this. Here's
- 39:47Speaker 3: Harvey Levin.
- 39:48Speaker 17: The search for Nancy got three has gone international. We
- 39:51Speaker 17: have learned the FBI has told federal Mexican law enforcement
- 39:55Speaker 17: to tell various police agencies to be on the lookout
- 39:59Speaker 17: for and her kidnapper. Now, our law enforcement sources are
- 40:04Speaker 17: telling us that it is possible. They believe that Nancy
- 40:08Speaker 17: was taken across the border, but they doubt if she
- 40:12Speaker 17: is across the border, that it happened directly after the kidnapping.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Well, we'll see. Hey, Stephen Colbert, this is hard to
- 40:21Speaker 3: believe he lied to us. Could you believe that Colbert lying? Well,
- 40:26Speaker 3: this all started when he was trying to push a
- 40:28Speaker 3: certain candidate who's running for the Senate in Texas, Tarrico,
- 40:34Speaker 3: what's his name, Tall Rico, And they had him on
- 40:38Speaker 3: to do a big interview with him to help promote him,
- 40:40Speaker 3: try to help him win that Senate seat that primary. Well,
- 40:46Speaker 3: the FCC stepped in. Now, there has always been this
- 40:48Speaker 3: equal time law. If you have a candidate on during
- 40:52Speaker 3: an election, you're supposed to offer time to the opposing candidate.
- 40:56Speaker 3: This equal time law has been there for a million years. However,
- 41:00Speaker 3: over the last twenty thirty years it stopped being a factor.
- 41:04Speaker 3: They just stopped enforcing it. They never bothered anybody with it.
- 41:07Speaker 3: Nobody ever said anything but the Trump administration. Because the
- 41:10Speaker 3: media is so biased now and such fake news, they
- 41:14Speaker 3: decided to start enforcing that again. So they've let people
- 41:18Speaker 3: know they've been apparently investigating the view because they've been
- 41:22Speaker 3: having all sorts of one sided nonsense. When they want
- 41:26Speaker 3: to push a Democrat, they're having a Democrat on and
- 41:28Speaker 3: never allowing any Republican equal time. And that's what Colbert
- 41:32Speaker 3: was doing here, not allowing the opponent equal time. Well,
- 41:36Speaker 3: Colbert's been lying to us all week claiming that a
- 41:38Speaker 3: CBS stepped in and said he can't have this guy on.
- 41:41Speaker 3: They refused to air the interview, and CBS and everybody
- 41:45Speaker 3: involved pointing out they never said that to him. They
- 41:48Speaker 3: simply said, you can't air this unless you offer the
- 41:51Speaker 3: other side equal time, which is fair. We would all
- 41:55Speaker 3: do that remember during the mayoral race, we had Curtis
- 41:58Speaker 3: on all the time. Every couple weeks it urt Son. Now,
- 42:01Speaker 3: if I ever got a call from Andrew Cuomo or
- 42:04Speaker 3: the Mom Donnie campaign said we want equal time, you'd
- 42:07Speaker 3: say yes. Of course, you would say yes. Well, why
- 42:10Speaker 3: would I say no? Now? They never called because they
- 42:13Speaker 3: know it's probably not going to be a you know,
- 42:16Speaker 3: a friendly interview. I mean, we wouldn't be unfriendly, but
- 42:19Speaker 3: we'd ask them tough questions and debate them on. So
- 42:22Speaker 3: they generally don't ask. But of course you would give
- 42:25Speaker 3: equal time. But Colbert, being a totally corrupt Slee's ball partisan,
- 42:30Speaker 3: wouldn't allow the other side equal time. Jasmine Crockett says
- 42:33Speaker 3: they tried, but they couldn't get anywhere. So even the
- 42:37Speaker 3: FCC commissioner on television yesterday pointing out they never ever
- 42:41Speaker 3: would say, you can't have this guy on. You have
- 42:43Speaker 3: to offer for equal time. It's the right thing to do,
- 42:46Speaker 3: it's the fair thing to do. In fact, whenever if
- 42:50Speaker 3: I went on and said terrible things about somebody and
- 42:54Speaker 3: they called and said, hey, I want an equal time,
- 42:55Speaker 3: of course you'd give it to him. You know, a
- 42:58Speaker 3: major figure, a candidate a politician, of course you would.
- 43:01Speaker 3: But Colbert being the dirty weasel that he is, so
- 43:05Speaker 3: he lied about all of this and there's not going
- 43:11Speaker 3: to be any real consequent He's already fired. There's nothing
- 43:13Speaker 3: you can do. I guess that's one reason he behaves
- 43:15Speaker 3: so badly. He's already fired. His last day is in May.
- 43:19Speaker 3: He's already fired. What can they do to him? They
- 43:21Speaker 3: could pull them off the air early, but it's a
- 43:25Speaker 3: big show. As far as the production, it's like one
- 43:27Speaker 3: hundred and twenty people work on this show. So if
- 43:30Speaker 3: you're the network, when you cancel Stephen Colbert or any
- 43:34Speaker 3: network show, you have to leave it on for a
- 43:35Speaker 3: few months. For a lot of reasons. You got to
- 43:37Speaker 3: figure out what to do with these hundred and twenty
- 43:39Speaker 3: CBS employees. You try to place them somewhere else. You've
- 43:42Speaker 3: got this massive theater that you got to figure out
- 43:45Speaker 3: what you're going to do with that. Also, you do
- 43:47Speaker 3: have affiliates. There's a couple hundred TV stations that are affiliates,
- 43:51Speaker 3: and if it's a network show, you can't just drop
- 43:52Speaker 3: it that night because now what do the affiliates do?
- 43:55Speaker 3: So you got to figure out something to give them
- 43:57Speaker 3: or give them time to come up with a with
- 43:59Speaker 3: an alternative plan. Hey, there's a big trial going on
- 44:05Speaker 3: with Mark Zuckerberg testifying the company Facebook. It's actually called Meta,
- 44:11Speaker 3: but the company is being accused, like the other social
- 44:15Speaker 3: media companies, TikTok and all of that stuff, Instagram, of
- 44:18Speaker 3: using these algorithms to suck you in and make you binge.
- 44:24Speaker 3: These algorithms get you addicted, addicted to TikTok. So in
- 44:31Speaker 3: the suit came from somebody, twenty year old woman who
- 44:34Speaker 3: said it ruined her life. She got so addicted she
- 44:37Speaker 3: was on Instagram or Facebook sixteen hours a day. Listen.
- 44:45Speaker 3: I'm kind of on Zuckerberg's side on this. Hey, by
- 44:48Speaker 3: the way, the other companies Google, YouTube, Snap, TikTok all
- 44:52Speaker 3: settled the case. They didn't want to go through this.
- 44:53Speaker 3: They cut last minute deals. But and I don't blame
- 44:57Speaker 3: a meta Zuckerberg is fighting this. Yeah, I'm sure they
- 45:01Speaker 3: do arrange the algorithm to try to keep you on,
- 45:04Speaker 3: but everybody does it. Hey, we do that here, every
- 45:08Speaker 3: radio show, every radio station does that. Every radio what
- 45:12Speaker 3: do you call that forward motion when you go to
- 45:14Speaker 3: the commercial, Every newscast on TV, every TV show, they
- 45:19Speaker 3: do that. They just don't say, here's a commercial and
- 45:22Speaker 3: then we'll be back. They say, hey, coming up next
- 45:24Speaker 3: to our exclusive interview with so and so. That's to
- 45:26Speaker 3: get you to stay through the commercial. And there's all
- 45:29Speaker 3: kinds of things you do during a show to keep
- 45:31Speaker 3: people listening. It's called the teas. You tease them with
- 45:35Speaker 3: something coming up so they don't go away. It's done everywhere.
- 45:38Speaker 3: It's done. It's done in restaurants, it's done in supermarkets.
- 45:43Speaker 3: You know, when you go to the restaurant, you open
- 45:44Speaker 3: the menu, you think, well, they just listed what they have. Now,
- 45:49Speaker 3: there's all kinds of tricks on that menu. They lay
- 45:52Speaker 3: it out in a certain way to trick you into
- 45:55Speaker 3: you know, they always put at the top of the
- 45:57Speaker 3: list something really expensive. Let's say it's the entrees. So
- 46:02Speaker 3: there's some caviaar something this one hundred and ten dollars.
- 46:06Speaker 3: You go, oh my god. Now right under it, they
- 46:09Speaker 3: got the chicken a dish and that's thirty two dollars.
- 46:12Speaker 3: Now when you see that, you go, well, that's better.
- 46:15Speaker 3: I'll get that. When if it was, if they didn't
- 46:18Speaker 3: put that ridiculous expensive thing at the top, you would
- 46:22Speaker 3: have normally would have said thirty three dollars or chicken.
- 46:24Speaker 3: That's a lot of money. So there's all kinds of tricks.
- 46:26Speaker 3: You know, when you walk into a supermarket, they've laid
- 46:29Speaker 3: it out. It's a trap. Everything is an algorithm designed
- 46:32Speaker 3: to get you to spend more money. You know, when
- 46:35Speaker 3: you walk into any supermarket, the part you walk into
- 46:38Speaker 3: is very brightly lit, and you notice wherever you walk in,
- 46:41Speaker 3: the first thing that's around you are flowers and happy stuff.
- 46:47Speaker 3: That's to get you in a good mood. Also, you
- 46:49Speaker 3: smell the flowers, It gets you smelling. Then everybody most
- 46:52Speaker 3: people turn right because they're right handed, so you'll always
- 46:55Speaker 3: come in and turn right. What do you get when
- 46:57Speaker 3: you turn in right? The bakery is there, so you
- 47:00Speaker 3: smell the bakery, gets you hungry, get you in the mood,
- 47:04Speaker 3: and then it's all laid out to trap you. You know,
- 47:07Speaker 3: they put the expensive items eye level on the shelves.
- 47:10Speaker 3: There are cheaper versions, but they're down below. Eye level
- 47:13Speaker 3: is the expensive stuff. And they always put the essentials,
- 47:18Speaker 3: the things you're probably there for, way in the back,
- 47:22Speaker 3: all the way in the back, like eggs, milk, all
- 47:25Speaker 3: the way in the back. So that way you got
- 47:27Speaker 3: to go through every aisle to get to this stuff.
- 47:29Speaker 3: It's all a trap. Everybody does that restaurants, you know,
- 47:33Speaker 3: restaurants do that. They've got it all figured out. They
- 47:36Speaker 3: know exactly the temperature that will make you hungry. It's
- 47:39Speaker 3: seventy two degrees. The music is always sixty beats per minute,
- 47:42Speaker 3: right to your heartbeat, makes you comfortable, makes your order.
- 47:47Speaker 3: It's all a trap. Hey, speaking to restaurants. I was
- 47:51Speaker 3: in Connecticut last weekend. Lodon weekends. I go to Connecticut.
- 47:54Speaker 3: I Saturday, I can't find my credit card. Did I
- 47:59Speaker 3: lose it? That I drop it? And then I'm thinking
- 48:01Speaker 3: where did I use it? Well, the night before Friday night,
- 48:05Speaker 3: I was at Jay House. That's a great restaurant Connecticut, Greenwich,
- 48:08Speaker 3: probably the hottest restaurant Connecticut. Jay House. I said, I
- 48:12Speaker 3: ate there, maybe I left it there. I go over there.
- 48:15Speaker 3: I walk in. There's Tony the owner, and I said, hey,
- 48:18Speaker 3: I think I left my credit card here last night.
- 48:21Speaker 3: I felt really stupid, but he said, hey, let me check.
- 48:24Speaker 3: He goes says something to somebody behind the counter. They
- 48:27Speaker 3: hand him a stack of like thirty five credit cards
- 48:31Speaker 3: and he's going through. I said, that's how many people
- 48:33Speaker 3: leave their credit card. He says, yeah, every day, it's normal.
- 48:37Speaker 3: So I didn't feel so stupid. There was my credit
- 48:39Speaker 3: card in there. So then every restaurant I went to,
- 48:41Speaker 3: I said, you have a stack of credit cards people
- 48:42Speaker 3: left every restaurant. They pull it. Yeah, here's one hundred
- 48:45Speaker 3: and twelve these everybody leaves credit cards every night. Now,
- 48:50Speaker 3: a year ago, I lost these sunglasses, really nice sunglasses.
- 48:55Speaker 3: I couldn't I don't know where. I think maybe I
- 48:57Speaker 3: was eating in a La scal last night. Maybe I
- 49:00Speaker 3: them there. I went right over there. I said, did
- 49:04Speaker 3: you find a pair of sunglasses? And the manager says well,
- 49:07Speaker 3: and I start describing. He said, well, no, wait, wait,
- 49:09Speaker 3: you can look for them yourself. I said, what do
- 49:11Speaker 3: you mean. He pulls out a box of two hundred
- 49:13Speaker 3: sunglasses that were left there. So it's not just me unbelievable.
- 49:19Speaker 3: I'm looking through them now. And then after that, every
- 49:23Speaker 3: time I went to a restaurant, do you have a
- 49:24Speaker 3: box of sunglasses of people left? Every restaurant? They reach
- 49:28Speaker 3: behind the counter, pull up a box of two hundred
- 49:30Speaker 3: three hundred sunglasses that are left there. So I know,
- 49:33Speaker 3: sunglasses you pay a fortune for them. You don't have
- 49:36Speaker 3: to pay it for them. Just go into a restaurant
- 49:37Speaker 3: and say I left my sunglasses. They'll pull up that
- 49:40Speaker 3: box at two hundred. Just see any pair of you're like,
- 49:43Speaker 3: this is it? Thank you. Hey, we'll take some calls.
- 49:45Speaker 3: Next eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten
- 49:49Speaker 3: is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
- 49:53Speaker 2: Get instant access to Mark by setting a fre set
- 49:56Speaker 2: in the iHeartRadio app for his live show and his podcast.
- 50:00Speaker 2: Now back to the Mark Simone Show on WR.
- 50:05Speaker 3: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to John and
- 50:08Speaker 3: Dan Berry, Connecticut. John, how you doing.
- 50:11Speaker 18: Very well, mister Simone. I've been listening to you since
- 50:14Speaker 18: the report on the overturned Chinese food delivery.
- 50:17Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Chinese. The tractor trailer overturned and put Chinese
- 50:24Speaker 3: food all over the highway. I gotta find that clip
- 50:26Speaker 3: and play it. It's pretty funny.
- 50:27Speaker 18: It's a great clip. Now, my question to you is
- 50:30Speaker 18: that you are the cars in the radio. So do
- 50:33Speaker 18: you ever see a time where you might pen all
- 50:35Speaker 18: your memoirs for all of us?
- 50:37Speaker 3: Well, I've had about six or seven book deals through
- 50:40Speaker 3: the years, and I keep trying. I can't sit there
- 50:43Speaker 3: and write It's very tough to do. I just don't
- 50:45Speaker 3: have the discipline. But I've been trying. I've been making notes.
- 50:48Speaker 3: But you got to sit there for like four hours
- 50:50Speaker 3: a day typing.
- 50:51Speaker 5: You have to do it.
- 50:52Speaker 3: It's tough to do. All right, I'll get it done.
- 50:55Speaker 3: I'll get it done. A lot of stories to tell
- 50:56Speaker 3: about a lot of people. All right, John, great call,
- 50:58Speaker 3: Thanks for calling. Let's go to Lou and Union, New Jersey. Lou,
- 51:02Speaker 3: how you doing.
- 51:03Speaker 18: Come on, hold it down.
- 51:07Speaker 3: People are sleeping here. Go ahead, go ahead.
- 51:12Speaker 5: About Colbert.
- 51:13Speaker 19: Isn't there an exemption to the to the rule that
- 51:17Speaker 19: let's put on two people?
- 51:19Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there is an exemption if you're a news program.
- 51:23Speaker 3: You could put on a political candidate if you're a
- 51:25Speaker 3: news show. But the FCC has made it clear they
- 51:29Speaker 3: do not consider Colbert a news show. You know, The
- 51:32Speaker 3: View is under investigation for violating this equal time thing.
- 51:35Speaker 3: The View tried to claim they're a news show because
- 51:39Speaker 3: they do talk about stuff in the news, but you'll
- 51:42Speaker 3: never get away with it. The FCC does not believe
- 51:45Speaker 3: they're a news show. Because you got an actress, you
- 51:47Speaker 3: got a comedian. There's nobody there that's a newsperson and
- 51:51Speaker 3: there are a bunch of goofy you know, yentas a
- 51:53Speaker 3: bunch of clucking hens. So I don't think you'll ever
- 51:56Speaker 3: ever be able to come in somebody. It's a news show.
- 51:59Speaker 3: Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing?
- 52:02Speaker 19: Good morning, Mark, Mark. I'm okay, Mark. I don't want
- 52:06Speaker 19: your audience to think I'm some Shylock was just interested
- 52:09Speaker 19: in squeezing juiceid of people. I want to clarify something
- 52:13Speaker 19: I said yesterday. This proposed nine percent property tax that
- 52:19Speaker 19: Mundami's proposing is above the ten percent property tax noticed
- 52:25Speaker 19: that I already received at the end of January. And
- 52:29Speaker 19: what most people don't know this goes through everything. The
- 52:34Speaker 19: power companies get a property tax increase, and sometimes they're
- 52:39Speaker 19: increased at fifteen percent or more because when they send
- 52:44Speaker 19: me the rate increases, they send also what building classification
- 52:50Speaker 19: you are? Commercial? This, that, and the other. The absolute
- 52:54Speaker 19: worst with the property tax increases was Built Blasio. There
- 53:01Speaker 19: were times when the homeowners in the city would get
- 53:06Speaker 19: fifty percent property tax increases. I got one from him
- 53:11Speaker 19: now atoms. This slash property tax increase I got in
- 53:16Speaker 19: January that was left over from the Atoms administration and
- 53:21Speaker 19: the whole day dug with all the illegal.
- 53:24Speaker 3: Yeah, Vincent, before we runt of time, you're an expert
- 53:27Speaker 3: on this because your own buildings, your own apartment plants.
- 53:30Speaker 19: Your landlord, my family, and I yeah.
- 53:35Speaker 3: I know you're an expert. Just explain to everybody, when
- 53:37Speaker 3: you get a property tax increase, you have to raise
- 53:39Speaker 3: the rent, right, You got to pass it along.
- 53:41Speaker 19: You have to because also what people don't understand. Your
- 53:46Speaker 19: electric rates are going to go up, your fuel is
- 53:49Speaker 19: going to go up because the con edison owns property,
- 53:53Speaker 19: the gas company owns property. Your local oil delivery man
- 53:59Speaker 19: owns property, or woman, they own property. All the goods
- 54:03Speaker 19: and services go up. Even as I told Chris that
- 54:07Speaker 19: cup of coffee from the corner bodega, yes to go up.
- 54:11Speaker 3: So the bottom line is when men Donnie does something
- 54:14Speaker 3: like this, increases the rent of everybody, middle income, lower
- 54:17Speaker 3: income rent increase Bock.
- 54:20Speaker 19: Yesterday there was a female black politician from Southeast Queens
- 54:25Speaker 19: saying that this is killing black and Hispanic single home
- 54:30Speaker 19: ownership in the outer Bury's. Donald Trump said that these
- 54:35Speaker 19: property taxes in these blue states is equivalent to pay
- 54:38Speaker 19: in the mortgage. So seniors. They're finished paying their mortgage
- 54:43Speaker 19: off in their golden years, they're still paying the mortgage.
- 54:46Speaker 3: It comes back in the form of property ex vincent.
- 54:48Speaker 3: We got to go for the news, but excellent call.
- 54:50Speaker 3: Thanks for calling. Will continue this topic and others in
- 54:53Speaker 3: a moment because Jimmy Fayla will be with us next.
- 54:57Speaker 3: Jimmy Fayler coming up right after the news on seven
- 54:59Speaker 3: to ten.
- 54:59Speaker 2: Double Your Mark Simone is back on seor Well.
- 55:06Speaker 3: Timmy Faylor a great talk show host, the excellent comedian.
- 55:10Speaker 3: He's on every night at nine o'clock on WR. You
- 55:13Speaker 3: can hear him from nine to Midnight's great show, very
- 55:16Speaker 3: funny and in addition to five nights a week here
- 55:18Speaker 3: on w R at nine o'clock, he does the best
- 55:21Speaker 3: late night show in television every Saturday night at ten
- 55:25Speaker 3: Fox News Channel. Best monologue on TV. Donald Trump raves
- 55:29Speaker 3: about it. It's a great show. Watch at ten o'clock
- 55:32Speaker 3: Saturday nights, Fox News Channel. Jimmy Fayla, How you doing.
- 55:36Speaker 4: I'm doing better than Colbert? That's hell, I'm Dylan. What
- 55:41Speaker 4: a dumb stunt that was? Mark Simone.
- 55:43Speaker 20: Well, he lied to us, he lied, yes, He's like, yeah,
- 55:49Speaker 20: they banned me from having this guy on the show.
- 55:51Speaker 20: And what I love about it is the lawyers blew
- 55:54Speaker 20: him up as he was taping yesterday's episode that were
- 55:57Speaker 20: the night before they sent out.
- 55:59Speaker 4: The statement being like, oh, he.
- 56:00Speaker 5: Could totally have him on the show, and they just
- 56:03Speaker 5: chose not to, which is like he's trying to get
- 56:05Speaker 5: fired because he wants to be Basically, he wants to
- 56:09Speaker 5: host the Oscars, you know, like Kimmel, you know, kisses
- 56:11Speaker 5: everybody's butt in Hollywood and that kind of makes him
- 56:13Speaker 5: attractive to them. He wants to get the Kimmel for
- 56:17Speaker 5: you know, leftovers when this whole shebang shibuins. Can you
- 56:20Speaker 5: think of anything worse to do with David Letterman's legacy
- 56:24Speaker 5: than be trying to become Jimmy Kimmel stunt double?
- 56:28Speaker 3: Oh ugh Hey, a couple articles this week about how
- 56:33Speaker 3: he and Kimmel have ruined Late night. It used to
- 56:35Speaker 3: be entertainment at night, funny fun They turn it into
- 56:39Speaker 3: like an angry, agenda driven political nonsense. You on Saturday Night,
- 56:44Speaker 3: You're the closest thing we have now to Johnny Carson.
- 56:46Speaker 3: You do a great monologue, but you go after both sides, right,
- 56:49Speaker 3: It's balanced, isn't it.
- 56:51Speaker 5: Well, yeah, like you're supposed to be there to laugh.
- 56:55Speaker 5: That's the biggest crime for Colbert. It's not equal time
- 56:58Speaker 5: to Republicans. It's he needs to give equal time to comedy. Okay,
- 57:03Speaker 5: spend half of your show, just half of your show
- 57:06Speaker 5: making people laugh and then maybe doing you.
- 57:08Speaker 4: Out the other half, make a cooking segment.
- 57:10Speaker 5: I don't care. But the point is when we get
- 57:13Speaker 5: on our show, there is not a wasted word, Like
- 57:16Speaker 5: you'll never hear us utter a word that's not aimed
- 57:19Speaker 5: towards some type of comedic outcome, regardless of what you
- 57:22Speaker 5: think of a joke. We're just trying to have fun
- 57:25Speaker 5: because the thing is in comedy specifically, these are the
- 57:28Speaker 5: rarest jobs in television. Like, if you want a guy
- 57:31Speaker 5: on TV making a serious point or yelling about something,
- 57:35Speaker 5: you have seven million.
- 57:36Speaker 4: Of those people.
- 57:37Speaker 5: If you want a guy that's like legitimately trying to
- 57:40Speaker 5: make you laugh and is like, hey, I'm a mess,
- 57:42Speaker 5: so you know.
- 57:43Speaker 18: Light up, it's gonna be okay.
- 57:44Speaker 5: There's like three of us. There's not a lot of
- 57:46Speaker 5: us left.
- 57:47Speaker 4: You know, it's you know, it's me obviously, you know.
- 57:50Speaker 5: Guttfeld, our little comedy dwarf here at Fox. He does fine.
- 57:54Speaker 5: And you know, Jimmy Fallon, to his credit, is trying
- 57:57Speaker 5: to do a fun late night variety show. Their lips saying,
- 58:00Speaker 5: and they're playing games, they're doing things. But they kind
- 58:02Speaker 5: of Colbert and Kimmel ruined him because they made him
- 58:06Speaker 5: play their game, like when Late Night got political. You know,
- 58:09Speaker 5: Fallon had to sit there for a few years and
- 58:12Speaker 5: pretend he cared. And he doesn't care about anything except
- 58:15Speaker 5: what time the bar opens.
- 58:18Speaker 3: You know, you're right, I can't picture Stephen Colbert doing
- 58:20Speaker 3: a cooking segment making fun of fun stuff with an animal.
- 58:24Speaker 3: You're right, you can't do any of that normal stuff.
- 58:27Speaker 3: So was he ever? No, he ever to stand up?
- 58:32Speaker 5: No, So what happened was he obviously, you know, got
- 58:36Speaker 5: his big break off of John Stewart on The Daily
- 58:38Speaker 5: Show because he was playing the character as you know
- 58:40Speaker 5: that was basically impersonating like a right wing pundit. But
- 58:44Speaker 5: that was a character. You know, his actual personality is
- 58:47Speaker 5: pretty unlikable, and the truth is he's actually bad for real.
- 58:51Speaker 5: He's bad to comics. I'll give you two good examples. Okay,
- 58:55Speaker 5: you know when a you know, when a comedian does
- 58:56Speaker 5: a late night show like on Carson back in the day,
- 58:59Speaker 5: that would have been a career finding moment for a
- 59:01Speaker 5: comic if you went on Carson, had a good set,
- 59:03Speaker 5: he called you over to the couch. What Colbert does
- 59:06Speaker 5: back when he used to air stand ups is he
- 59:09Speaker 5: would tape their stand up sets on a separate night.
- 59:12Speaker 4: He'd have like ten guys come into.
- 59:13Speaker 5: The theater and do comedy sets, and he wasn't even
- 59:16Speaker 5: there for them. What so when you see, yes, when
- 59:18Speaker 5: you see a guy do stand up on Colbert, they're
- 59:21Speaker 5: actually tossing to a pre taped four minute package straight
- 59:24Speaker 5: up like nobody else does that. Kimmel doesn't do I mean,
- 59:28Speaker 5: you know, Fallon doesn't do that. Fallon's great, he's great
- 59:30Speaker 5: the comics.
- 59:31Speaker 3: That's the most heard. That's horrible.
- 59:35Speaker 5: Yeah, so think about it, like if Johnny Carson didn't
- 59:37Speaker 5: have you on the couch, you know, it wasn't the
- 59:39Speaker 5: best sign. But imagine Carson didn't even want to be
- 59:43Speaker 5: on the couch himself for your set. Forget you not
- 59:46Speaker 5: coming to the couch.
- 59:47Speaker 4: He's not coming to the couch. That's terrible.
- 59:50Speaker 3: Wow.
- 59:51Speaker 4: Hey, and I don't know if you go ahead, no,
- 59:53Speaker 4: go ahead, I was gonna say.
- 59:55Speaker 5: Fallon famously, when I got my late night show, sent
- 59:58Speaker 5: me a really nice note in a case of his
- 1:00:00Speaker 5: tonight shoe ice cream.
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: Wow, that's very really nice. Yeah.
- 1:00:05Speaker 4: Yeah, well it was a lot nicer than the beg
- 1:00:07Speaker 4: of Anthrax.
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: But hey, are you upset about the arrest of Prince Andrew?
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: Forgive me for this, because I did tweet this.
- 1:00:19Speaker 5: I said, he's at least he's finally looking at something
- 1:00:22Speaker 5: over eighteen there.
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: It is good, guys, but really funny stuff.
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: One point I would make is it looks like he's
- 1:00:28Speaker 5: getting arrested for trade secrets. Yeah, so it's not necessarily
- 1:00:33Speaker 5: even all of the shady misconduct in malfeasans we've read
- 1:00:37Speaker 5: about down at Epstein Island so much as this is
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: his official capacity in the government. So this doesn't make
- 1:00:43Speaker 5: me more hopeful, meaning like that people here are going
- 1:00:46Speaker 5: to get arrested. I don't actually think that's going to
- 1:00:48Speaker 5: happen to you.
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: Well, here's the bad thing though, he's apparently still in
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: custody eight hours later, and it said that the police
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: have now at both his homes are now searching. You know,
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: they'll go through his computer. Can you imagine what they're
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: gonna find on that too.
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: Yeah, that guy.
- 1:01:05Speaker 5: I mean, like, like, you know, it's bad when Hunter
- 1:01:07Speaker 5: Biden's nervous about what they're gonna find on your last top.
- 1:01:11Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know about the fan crew guy.
- 1:01:13Speaker 4: That's not good.
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: Wow, Hey, mom, Donnie. Remember when he was running, he
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: was so charming, smile and a great salesman who was
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: just Now he's in office, he looks like the most
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: bumbling idiot in the world. Don't know what to do.
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: What happened to smile? What happened all the promises? Yeah?
- 1:01:30Speaker 5: I mean, maybe more importantly, what happened to the cop?
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: This is crazy? Yeah, listen, we're we didn't vote for this, okay, obviously,
- 1:01:41Speaker 5: but the people who did are getting what we told
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: them they would get.
- 1:01:45Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:01:45Speaker 5: It was always a fraud from word one. He was
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: a catchy TikTok guy. But there's a lot of catchy
- 1:01:51Speaker 5: TikTok you.
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying.
- 1:01:52Speaker 5: There's a guy in TikTok right now who slow dances
- 1:01:55Speaker 5: with a cat.
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: To get ten million people click. Like doesn't mean he
- 1:01:59Speaker 4: should be in charge of our city, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:02:01Speaker 5: And that's the problem with electing a fancy TikTok guy
- 1:02:05Speaker 5: is this jackass who you know, as you know, was.
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: Going to freeze the rents.
- 1:02:09Speaker 5: Is now Jackie got property taxes.
- 1:02:11Speaker 4: Which, as you know, is going to raise the rents. Wow.
- 1:02:14Speaker 5: So the opposite of everything he was promised, and me
- 1:02:17Speaker 5: and you.
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: Called it out because remember when he won.
- 1:02:19Speaker 5: We were on here that week joking about how he
- 1:02:21Speaker 5: had a cash bar at his victory point. So if
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: the guy ran on free healthcare, free groceries, free everything else,
- 1:02:28Speaker 5: and he's charging you twelve bucks for a bud light, yeah,
- 1:02:31Speaker 5: something tells me you're not getting a ride home on
- 1:02:33Speaker 5: a free bus.
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: Py the Mamdani of a few years ago. AOC goes
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: to this European conference. She's asked the most basic, simple
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: foreign policy question, and I knew she was stupid, But
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: did you know she was that stupid to give that
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: dumb in answer.
- 1:02:51Speaker 4: No, I you know, I realized she had gone to college.
- 1:02:53Speaker 5: I just I didn't know she was a valedictorian at
- 1:02:56Speaker 5: the Quality Leering Center out in Minneapolis.
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: Turns out graduated at the head of that class.
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: Yeah. Um, so I think the only one that liked
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: that speech was Chuck Schumer well, as she probably more
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: nervous because now she probably screwed up any presidential chance,
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: which means all she can do.
- 1:03:14Speaker 5: Is yah, and now she probably has to go Senate
- 1:03:16Speaker 5: and run against Chucky and he's got to keep lying
- 1:03:19Speaker 5: to us about voter I dated to see that clip
- 1:03:21Speaker 5: this week from ninety six of him being like.
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: We have to have ID because all of.
- 1:03:25Speaker 5: These immigrants are committing fraud. No one's even trying anymore
- 1:03:29Speaker 5: in that party. That's my frustration. I have a lot
- 1:03:31Speaker 5: of good Democrat friends, and they're so much better than
- 1:03:35Speaker 5: the politicians who represent them, and I think that's what
- 1:03:38Speaker 5: we need. We just need more of an effort because
- 1:03:39Speaker 5: they're all lazy. Like again, AOC flying to a foreign
- 1:03:42Speaker 5: policy conference. Okay, if you don't understand basic foreign policy,
- 1:03:46Speaker 5: like you had.
- 1:03:47Speaker 4: The whole flight over there to spend five minutes, put.
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: Down your Netflix on your iPad and read a book.
- 1:03:53Speaker 5: Imagine me, and you went to the Olive Garden convention
- 1:03:56Speaker 5: and they asked us about breadsticks and we didn't know
- 1:03:58Speaker 5: what to say for forty five seconds, Like it's just laziness, Mark,
- 1:04:02Speaker 5: you know what it is?
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: Yeah? Hey, And Chuck Schumer is he the biggest racist
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: on earth to actually say minority voters, why they can't
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: figure out how to get an idea? They wouldn't know
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: how to get it? What a racist thing to say.
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: How does he get away with that?
- 1:04:17Speaker 4: It really is.
- 1:04:19Speaker 5: It drives me crazy because comics get in trouble for
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: telling jokes. This is and they're like, well, that joke's
- 1:04:24Speaker 5: on of it and so, but it's a joke like
- 1:04:26Speaker 5: the premises, we're kidding. He's not kidding. He's getting on
- 1:04:29Speaker 5: TV and saying these people don't know how in the
- 1:04:33Speaker 5: year twenty twenty five. Okay again, if black people don't
- 1:04:37Speaker 5: have ID that means the movie Snakes on a Plane
- 1:04:40Speaker 5: is Snakes and an uber or something because you can't
- 1:04:42Speaker 5: even get on the plane.
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: Okay, that's the point.
- 1:04:44Speaker 5: Damuel Jackson is just standing outside the airport because he
- 1:04:47Speaker 5: can't get in.
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: Unbelievable. Well, hey, you got to listen to Jimmy Fail
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: on the radio every night at nine o'clock nine to midnight.
