0:01
Speaker 1: Nowor Presents No Mark sim Own Show. Hey, so a
0:17
Speaker 1: lot going on today. We'll get to crazy Stephen Colbert,
0:20
Speaker 1: he's all upset. We'll get to the Epstein files, We'll
0:24
Speaker 1: get to the the kidnapping. We'll get to President Trump.
0:27
Speaker 1: We'll get to JFK Jr. Hey, it's four weeks until spring.
0:33
Speaker 1: Four weeks until spring, and only two weeks until daylight
0:38
Speaker 1: saving time. Two weeks and then it'll be light out
0:41
Speaker 1: till six thirty six, fifteen, six thirty. So we'll get
0:46
Speaker 1: to well, let's get to it right now, Mayor. Mom, Donnie,
0:50
Speaker 1: you Democrats, you voted for this guy, You Democrats, you
0:53
Speaker 1: stuck us with this Mom Donnie. I guess he's a
0:57
Speaker 1: nice guy, but he looks like a total in over
1:00
Speaker 1: his head, incompetent, bungling cuck who has no idea what
1:04
Speaker 1: to do. He is suddenly confronted with a twelve billion
1:10
Speaker 1: dollar budget gap, and he said he can't believe it
1:14
Speaker 1: that he finds out there's a twelve billion dollar budget gap.
1:17
Speaker 1: He can't believe that this is all of a sudden
1:20
Speaker 1: been discovered, this twelve billion dollar budget gap. What is
1:24
Speaker 1: he talking about? Though everybody knew about this a year ago. Two,
1:26
Speaker 1: you listen to Eric Adams a year and a half ago.
1:28
Speaker 2: Now we're get people from all over the globe have
1:31
Speaker 2: made their minds up that they're going to come through
1:33
Speaker 2: the southern part of the border and come into New
1:36
Speaker 2: York City.
1:38
Speaker 1: And everyone is saying, it's New York City's problem.
1:42
Speaker 2: Every community in this city is going to be impacted.
1:45
Speaker 2: We had a twelve billion dollar deficit that we're going
1:50
Speaker 2: to have to cut. Every service in this city is
1:55
Speaker 2: going to be impacted.
1:56
Speaker 1: Well, there's Eric Adams telling you about this a year ago.
1:59
Speaker 1: He told you're gonna have this, and what was the cause?
2:01
Speaker 1: As he pointed out, illegals coming in draining city services. Illegals. So, Mom,
2:08
Speaker 1: Donnie loves these illegals. He wants to be a sanctuary city.
2:12
Speaker 1: So he's caused the budget gap with his policy. Now
2:17
Speaker 1: he's complaining about it. So what do you do when
2:19
Speaker 1: you have a twelve billion dollar budget gap? Well, you
2:22
Speaker 1: cut services you have to. But he's not gonna do that.
2:27
Speaker 1: He wants to raise taxes. And if he can't get
2:30
Speaker 1: that done, he doesn't have the power to increase your taxes,
2:33
Speaker 1: but he can raise property tax. He's talking about raising
2:36
Speaker 1: property tax ten percent. Now that's horrible. Property taxes are
2:42
Speaker 1: already crazy in New York, So to raise him ten percent.
2:45
Speaker 1: And remember, if you're just renting and you don't own,
2:48
Speaker 1: it still affects you. You'll have a ten percent increase
2:52
Speaker 1: because of the property tax. Well, actually won't be ten
2:55
Speaker 1: percent because the property tax is only part of your rent,
2:57
Speaker 1: but you your rent will go up. Every rent will
3:00
Speaker 1: increase with a property tax increase. Now, wasn't this the
3:03
Speaker 1: guy that ran on a free rent, frozen rent, no renting.
3:07
Speaker 1: He's all he's in office like five minutes. He's going
3:10
Speaker 1: to increase your rent. It's just horrible. He doesn't know
3:13
Speaker 1: what to do. First of all, the budget of New
3:16
Speaker 1: York City is like one hundred and twenty billion a year.
3:19
Speaker 1: One hundred and twenty billion a year. You know what
3:23
Speaker 1: the budget of other cities the Chicago twelve billion a year.
3:27
Speaker 1: Cities you know, Boston, Cleveland ten billion a year. Miami,
3:32
Speaker 1: which is a big, big city, the budget's like eleven
3:35
Speaker 1: billion a year. New York City budget one hundred and
3:39
Speaker 1: twenty billion a year. That's more than the whole state
3:41
Speaker 1: of Florida. It's the craziest budget. Now, thirty billion of
3:45
Speaker 1: that is pension funds we got to pay, but a
3:49
Speaker 1: lot of that is just waste and fraud and bloat.
3:52
Speaker 1: If you brought in a doze team, they could cut
3:55
Speaker 1: fifty billion out of the budget in two seconds. It
3:58
Speaker 1: would be that simple. A lot of waste, a lot
4:00
Speaker 1: of fraud. We overpay for everything, We've got a million
4:04
Speaker 1: things we don't need to pay for. You could cut
4:06
Speaker 1: the budget easily, and you could bring down property tax
4:10
Speaker 1: if you had like a Bruce Blakeman in office. That's
4:12
Speaker 1: what a guy like that would do, immediately, start to
4:15
Speaker 1: bring it in a doze team, find all the waste, fraud
4:18
Speaker 1: and lower people's taxes. But mom Donnie wants to raise
4:22
Speaker 1: property tax. It's absolutely insane.
4:24
Speaker 3: Would rather do is ensure that they remain as they
4:26
Speaker 3: are so that the city can be on firm financial footing. However,
4:29
Speaker 3: in order to get to this point of closing the
4:32
Speaker 3: gap on both this fiscal year and the next fiscal year,
4:35
Speaker 3: we are forced to raid the Rainy Day Fund, the
4:38
Speaker 3: Retiree Health Benefits Trust Reserve, and to increase property taxes
4:42
Speaker 3: across these other years.
4:43
Speaker 1: Insane, absolutely insane.
4:45
Speaker 3: At the heart of this path is a property tax increase.
4:49
Speaker 3: This would effectively be a tax on working in middle
4:52
Speaker 3: class New Yorkers who have a median income of one
4:54
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty two thousand dollars.
4:56
Speaker 1: Now, will he actually do this? Kenny? Actually, hey, I
4:58
Speaker 1: guess he can. I don't know. Willie she do this?
5:00
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's absolutely insane. Now, if he
5:03
Speaker 1: can't close the budget gap, believe it or not, the
5:06
Speaker 1: governor can take over the city budget. If the city
5:09
Speaker 1: financial situation is all screwed up, the governor can step
5:12
Speaker 1: in and take over. However, she's not exactly a great
5:16
Speaker 1: genius either. I mean, she's not exactly a Warren Buffett
5:19
Speaker 1: when it comes to finance. But I don't know. If
5:23
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the nerve to do much, she doesn't
5:25
Speaker 1: have the nerve to step in. But the idea of
5:28
Speaker 1: raising property tax, raising everybody's rent absolutely insane. This guy
5:33
Speaker 1: is totally in over his head, doesn't know what the
5:36
Speaker 1: hell he's doing. Thank you Democrats for giving us a
5:39
Speaker 1: guy like this. Maybe next time, get somebody who's had
5:44
Speaker 1: a job before. Can you imagine this? He's thirty three
5:47
Speaker 1: years old, never worked, never had a job, never worked anywhere,
5:52
Speaker 1: and Democrats think that's a guy that should be mayor.
5:56
Speaker 1: Absolutely ridiculous. We'll get back to him. We'll get back
5:59
Speaker 1: to him. So Stephen Colbert is going nuts because there's
6:03
Speaker 1: always been this equal time rule. If you have a
6:06
Speaker 1: candidate for office, you're supposed to have the other side
6:09
Speaker 1: on or at least offer it to him. And we
6:11
Speaker 1: would always do that. You remember we had Curtis on
6:13
Speaker 1: a lot when he was running for mayor. Well, if
6:16
Speaker 1: Cuomo called up or Mom Donnie said I want to
6:19
Speaker 1: equal to of course, we'd give it to him. It's fair,
6:21
Speaker 1: it's the right thing to do. You have to do it.
6:24
Speaker 1: That equal time law was strictly enforced for years. Over
6:27
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, it wasn't really enforced, but it
6:30
Speaker 1: was understood you'd give equal time in a race. But
6:34
Speaker 1: Colbert doesn't want to do that. So this guy Tallerico
6:38
Speaker 1: running in Texas. He loves this guy, you know, the
6:41
Speaker 1: crazy left wing guy. So he's been promoting this guy.
6:44
Speaker 1: Gave him a big interview and CBS told him he
6:47
Speaker 1: can't air this unless you offer the other side equal time.
6:51
Speaker 1: And Colbert did not want to do that. He didn't
6:53
Speaker 1: want to give equal time to the other side, typical Colbert.
6:57
Speaker 1: So CBS said you can't, we won't run it on
7:01
Speaker 1: the network. Now Colbert has a YouTube channel. He ran
7:04
Speaker 1: it there. But he went on a little tirade last
7:07
Speaker 1: night reading the letter from CBS lawyers, and then on
7:11
Speaker 1: the air he crumpled it up and then stuck it
7:14
Speaker 1: in a bag of a dog poop. But here's Colbert
7:17
Speaker 1: last night.
7:18
Speaker 4: You know who is not one of my guests tonight.
7:21
Speaker 5: That's Texas State Representative James Talerico. He was supposed to
7:26
Speaker 5: be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms
7:29
Speaker 5: by our network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we
7:32
Speaker 5: could not have him on the broadcast.
7:35
Speaker 1: Then then I.
7:36
Speaker 4: Was told in some uncertain terms that not only could
7:39
Speaker 4: I not have him on, I could not mention me
7:42
Speaker 4: not having him on. And because my network clearly doesn't
7:47
Speaker 4: want us to talk about this, let's talk about this.
7:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's a late night, late night show.
7:55
Speaker 1: It's like Johnny Carson The Tonight Show, Jay Leno. It's
7:59
Speaker 1: you suppose to be entertaining people. It's right before they
8:02
Speaker 1: go into bed. It's supposed to be fun entertaining. Here
8:04
Speaker 1: he is on a tirade about this crazy left wing democrat.
8:08
Speaker 1: And who is this guy? Tall Rico? Is he a
8:10
Speaker 1: great guest? Is he phenomenal? Well, here's part of the interview.
8:14
Speaker 1: What do you think?
8:15
Speaker 6: I think that Donald Trump is worried that we're about
8:18
Speaker 6: to flip Texas. Across the state, there is a backlash
8:24
Speaker 6: growing to the extremism and the corruption in our politics.
8:29
Speaker 6: It's a people powered movement to take back our state
8:32
Speaker 6: and take back our country. And I feel like we're
8:35
Speaker 6: building something really special in Texas, and clearly Donald Trump
8:38
Speaker 6: has taken note.
8:40
Speaker 1: I don't know, it doesn't sound like that fascinating a guest.
8:43
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say, oh, get that guy on the show.
8:45
Speaker 7: Now.
8:45
Speaker 1: I see it. As I said, it's late night television
8:47
Speaker 1: supposed to be entertaining, fun, entertaining, jokes, laughs, put you
8:51
Speaker 1: in a good mood before you go to sleep. Colbert Kimmel,
8:55
Speaker 1: they've ruined late night television. They've turned it into a
8:58
Speaker 1: partisan crazy It's like a it's just a Democrat rally.
9:03
Speaker 1: It's like a political rally before you go to sleep.
9:04
Speaker 1: Listen when this guy talks, Listen to the audience respond
9:07
Speaker 1: like they're at a rally.
9:08
Speaker 6: I think that Donald Trump is worried that we're about
9:11
Speaker 6: to flip Texas.
9:14
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be getting laughs. It's a political rally.
9:17
Speaker 1: So Colbert all upset. He's been fired already. He's leaving
9:20
Speaker 1: in May. So you got a week and a half
9:25
Speaker 1: of February and then he got all of March April.
9:28
Speaker 1: Now you got two and a half, almost three months.
9:30
Speaker 1: Then you're rid of this guy. You'll never have to
9:32
Speaker 1: hear from him again. Hey, oh wo Pee Goldberg. You
9:36
Speaker 1: know she's been yelling and screaming for the Epstein files.
9:39
Speaker 1: You know on the View, they've been screaming and yelling
9:41
Speaker 1: they have to have the Epstein files. Where's the Epstein files?
9:44
Speaker 1: Released them? Immediately they're demanding the Epstein files be released. Well,
9:48
Speaker 1: they've been released, and what Pee Goldberg is in the
9:52
Speaker 1: Epstein files. So she wasn't too thrilled about that. Now
9:55
Speaker 1: a lot of people are in there for nothing bad.
9:58
Speaker 1: I'm in the Epstein files. I came like five times
10:01
Speaker 1: in the search, but it was all harmless stuff. I
10:04
Speaker 1: was seeing some event he wanted to come to. Somebody
10:07
Speaker 1: was emailing him telling about my show. That that's all.
10:10
Speaker 1: It was nothing bad. But Whoopy's in the Epstein Files.
10:16
Speaker 1: She's apparently going somewhere to do something and she wants
10:21
Speaker 1: This is a lot of show business people like this.
10:25
Speaker 1: They want everything given to them by somebody. They're like
10:28
Speaker 1: somebody to pay for everything. So she needs to get
10:31
Speaker 1: to this event she's going to, and she wants a
10:34
Speaker 1: private plane to take her. But she doesn't want to
10:36
Speaker 1: pay for it. She wants somebody to donate a private
10:39
Speaker 1: plane to her. And apparently somebody asked Epstein, because Epstein
10:44
Speaker 1: was a starstruck guy, always chasing in celebrities, would he
10:47
Speaker 1: want to donate his plane. He didn't. He eventually didn't.
10:51
Speaker 1: But here's a whoopie trying to talk away out of
10:54
Speaker 1: why she's in the Epstein files.
10:55
Speaker 8: I'm telling you, when I tell you, people are trying
10:57
Speaker 8: to turn me into I wasn't his girlfriend.
11:02
Speaker 9: I was for him.
11:04
Speaker 8: I was not only too old, but it was at
11:06
Speaker 8: a time you know where this is just not you
11:10
Speaker 8: used to have to have facts.
11:13
Speaker 1: Well, the fact is you're in the Epstein Files. We
11:14
Speaker 1: didn't think you were his girlfriend.
11:16
Speaker 3: But I'm getting dragged.
11:18
Speaker 8: People actually believe that I was with him. It's like, honey,
11:23
Speaker 8: come on, every man that I've ever been with you've
11:27
Speaker 8: known about him because either the Inquirer wrote it about it,
11:30
Speaker 8: people wrote about this stuff. So no, I never had this.
11:34
Speaker 1: Ye, not a lot of people really concerned about her
11:38
Speaker 1: love life who she's with. In fact, remember when ted
11:42
Speaker 1: Danson was going out with her and everybody made everybody
11:45
Speaker 1: just think ted Danson was nuts. But so she's in
11:48
Speaker 1: the Epstein files. I think it hasn't sunk into Democrats
11:54
Speaker 1: yet that there's nothing really in the Epstein files that's
11:56
Speaker 1: going to help them in any way. Oh, there's a
11:58
Speaker 1: few business guys in there, but ninety nine point nine
12:01
Speaker 1: percent of the guys in there. If there was anything
12:03
Speaker 1: to do with women, it was older women, not underage.
12:07
Speaker 1: The underage was Epstein personally and maybe maybe one or
12:11
Speaker 1: two of his friends, maybe Prince Andrew, but that's about it.
12:14
Speaker 1: They're having these Epstein hearings. Leslie Wexner, big billionaire, and
12:18
Speaker 1: he was really the first billionaire a million years ago
12:22
Speaker 1: to get behind Epstein and befriend Epstein and put money in.
12:25
Speaker 1: So he'll testify today. I don't suggest you watch it live.
12:30
Speaker 1: You might doze off listening to Leslie Wexner testify. It's
12:33
Speaker 1: not going to be that exciting. Bruce Springsteen has announced
12:36
Speaker 1: a new tour and apparently this is going to be
12:42
Speaker 1: this is going to be a political rally tour. Springsteen
12:46
Speaker 1: becoming highly partisan. But here's the announcement. He put out,
12:51
Speaker 1: we are living through dark, disturbing, dangerous times, but do
12:56
Speaker 1: not despair. The cavalry is coming. Springsteen, you might say,
13:02
Speaker 1: a brilliant songwriter, musician, but whenever these guys start talking
13:05
Speaker 1: about politics, they sound like twelve year olds. And I'm
13:09
Speaker 1: afraid you're gonna get a lot of that with Springsteen. Hey,
13:12
Speaker 1: the Guthrie kidnapping, the latest, you know, the DNA did
13:15
Speaker 1: not match anybody in the database. The problem is if
13:19
Speaker 1: you collect DNA. There is a database, but it's got
13:23
Speaker 1: twenty two million people in it, but it's mostly criminals
13:27
Speaker 1: that have been arrested. I would think they'd have to
13:29
Speaker 1: be arrested in recent years. If it was twenty years ago,
13:33
Speaker 1: they might not have been collecting DNA. Also in the
13:36
Speaker 1: database might be people government people, law enforcement, military, that
13:40
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So the DNA did not match anybody
13:44
Speaker 1: in the database, so it's no real value the latest
13:49
Speaker 1: clues they've got there. Looking again at that glove, the
13:53
Speaker 1: doorbell camera. You can see the guy's big puffy glove,
13:56
Speaker 1: but they think under it, underneath the glove, they see
13:58
Speaker 1: a little bump that they think is a pinky ring,
14:02
Speaker 1: that he might be wearing a pinky ring, so they're
14:04
Speaker 1: looking for that. Also, remember he had a holster on
14:07
Speaker 1: the front. Very strange the holster, which usually would be
14:11
Speaker 1: on the side. The holster is like over his crotch.
14:14
Speaker 1: But they're now saying the holster was a very very
14:17
Speaker 1: unusual holster. Very few of those kind of holsters. So
14:21
Speaker 1: they're looking at who sells those, where they were sold,
14:25
Speaker 1: and then they'll go to whoever sells them, check the
14:29
Speaker 1: receipts and who bought it, and then look at the
14:31
Speaker 1: surveillance video see if they get a picture of who's
14:33
Speaker 1: buying it. Now, the only problem is he might have
14:36
Speaker 1: bought it online, but still they'll be able to trace
14:39
Speaker 1: that I who was sold online, where it was delivered
14:41
Speaker 1: to that kind of stuff. Hey, Also, where Nancy Guthrie
14:46
Speaker 1: lived was a very quiet, very very safe neighborhood. There
14:51
Speaker 1: was never any crime, nobody was worried about anything crime wise.
14:55
Speaker 1: That's where there was no security that But apparently now
14:58
Speaker 1: the neighbors are all freaked out out. They're really worried
15:01
Speaker 1: about their safety. They're afraid, and a lot of them
15:04
Speaker 1: live alone, like Nancy Guffrey, and they want all kinds
15:07
Speaker 1: of security around, they want more police all of that.
15:10
Speaker 1: You know, if you talk to law enforcement experts, even
15:16
Speaker 1: in a very very safe neighborhood, you could have occasionally
15:19
Speaker 1: have break ins, a home invasion, robbery, that kind of stuff.
15:23
Speaker 1: But kidnapping for money for ransom. Kidnapping for ransom is
15:28
Speaker 1: extremely unusual. It is very very very rare. It just
15:33
Speaker 1: doesn't happen very much. It's extremely rare. If you're in Mexico,
15:37
Speaker 1: it happens all the time. But in the United States,
15:39
Speaker 1: somebody kidnapping you for ransom, it's just almost non existent. Nowadays,
15:45
Speaker 1: there is kidnapping where it's the custody thing, you know,
15:48
Speaker 1: the husband and wife split up and the husband or
15:51
Speaker 1: the wife kidnaps the daughter. That kind of stuff. But
15:53
Speaker 1: just a kidnapping of a stranger for ransom extremely rare.
15:58
Speaker 1: That's one problem of police just don't deal with it
16:00
Speaker 1: very much. It's very unusual. Hey, we'll take some calls.
16:03
Speaker 1: Next eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is
16:07
Speaker 1: the number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
16:12

16:30
Speaker 10: It's always great here in your voice, Paisano.
16:32
Speaker 11: Let's play to christ Sesus to keep President Trump alive
16:35
Speaker 11: and with it.
16:36
Speaker 1: He's the best.
16:37
Speaker 11: He's done more to help American veterans than any other
16:40
Speaker 11: president other than Reagan.
16:42
Speaker 10: And he's done more than Reagan.
16:44
Speaker 11: The bottom line is this gi gena Lieans with all
16:48
Speaker 11: his free bees marked. He doesn't mention anything helped direcan veterans.
16:53
Speaker 11: New York City is the only major American city doesn't
16:55
Speaker 11: have a city administered retirement home from their veterans.
17:00
Speaker 10: It's either the shelter of the street.
17:03
Speaker 1: All right, you know, good call, thanks for calling. Yeah.
17:06
Speaker 1: Well he actually there actually is no free stuff for anybody.
17:11
Speaker 1: He has not come through with anybody. He's talking about
17:14
Speaker 1: maybe doing it with one of the buses, well, actually
17:18
Speaker 1: a couple of bus lines, but he can't get that through.
17:23
Speaker 1: By the way, the buses are free anyway. You know,
17:25
Speaker 1: half the people don't pay the fare, and the drivers
17:28
Speaker 1: are told don't stop them, don't do anything about it.
17:31
Speaker 1: If you're in a subway, you'll notice half the people
17:34
Speaker 1: jump the turnstile. If you're on a bus, half the
17:36
Speaker 1: people just walk in and don't pay the fair. Let's
17:39
Speaker 1: go to rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich How you doing.
17:42
Speaker 7: Well?
17:43
Speaker 10: Okay? I want to thank Vincent and I had a
17:44
Speaker 10: lot of people call me tell me he was talking
17:46
Speaker 10: about my videos yesterday. But I appreciate that from Vincent.
17:49
Speaker 1: The fishing videos.
17:51
Speaker 10: Yeah, I did a fishing you know you and I
17:53
Speaker 10: spoke about this before twenty five years. I did fishing
17:56
Speaker 10: on TV and radio in the New York metro area.
17:58
Speaker 10: There going to be on GBB Way way long time.
18:01
Speaker 1: That's way on Long Island.
18:03
Speaker 10: Yeah, but a guy is all the way up in
18:05
Speaker 10: OAM signals. You know, they carry you all up and
18:07
Speaker 10: down and skip across the water. That tower was in Freeport,
18:10
Speaker 10: and I can hear me all the way down to
18:12
Speaker 10: Lone be Child in South Jersey and up a Connecticut.
18:14
Speaker 1: So I gotta be honest. I don't watch a lot
18:16
Speaker 1: of fishing television shows.
18:17
Speaker 10: It's not it's all whole things change now a bunch
18:20
Speaker 10: of talking heads telling you what they did, but nobody.
18:23
Speaker 1: Shows you a real point of fishing. You're just sitting
18:25
Speaker 1: there waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.
18:29
Speaker 1: It's just it's a waiting game.
18:30
Speaker 10: It's better than working.
18:32
Speaker 1: Well, no, but if you're playing golf, you keep hitting
18:34
Speaker 1: the ball. You don't have to wait. If you're playing tennis,
18:37
Speaker 1: you keep hitting the ball. This fishing is just ninety
18:39
Speaker 1: nine percent is just sitting there waiting.
18:42
Speaker 10: Hey, listen, look, half my fantasies don't even about me
18:45
Speaker 10: getting off the couch.
18:45
Speaker 6: You know.
18:46
Speaker 10: So fishing is perfect, you know what I'm saying.
18:47
Speaker 1: So all right, I mean, if you love waiting, go
18:49
Speaker 1: go go to a doctor's office, go to the tennis.
18:51
Speaker 1: It makes your wait for a half hour.
18:53
Speaker 10: If you enjoy waiting, how can they just don't don't
18:56
Speaker 10: take Kolberny's people or I mean it's cost him a
18:59
Speaker 10: lot of money. I know, Cobez fired. You're gonna get
19:01
Speaker 10: room after a lawyer statement last night. Well that's snag
19:04
Speaker 10: one just kind of plug and the guy who start
19:06
Speaker 10: putting re ones on there save a lot of money
19:08
Speaker 10: and make more money.
19:09
Speaker 7: On your ads.
19:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, when they take them off, well they take
19:12
Speaker 1: them off, they'll run old shows or something. They'll get
19:13
Speaker 1: triple the raiders. But you it today, It's complicated. It's
19:18
Speaker 1: complicated because you have about one hundred and twenty employees.
19:21
Speaker 1: You got to gradually find a way to do something
19:24
Speaker 1: with them. You gotta. They got a multi million dollar theater.
19:26
Speaker 1: They got to figure out what to do with. Also,
19:28
Speaker 1: you can't just abandon your affiliates. It's part of the deal.
19:32
Speaker 1: When you have a network show. You can't just cancel
19:34
Speaker 1: all of a sudden.
19:35
Speaker 10: You have remember that.
19:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to give the affiliates at least four
19:39
Speaker 1: months notice or something so they can make other plans. Well,
19:42
Speaker 1: thanks for calling, Rich. Let's go to uh, let's go
19:47
Speaker 1: to Dennis in Long Island. Dennis, how you doing?
19:51
Speaker 7: Oh, hey, Mack, I'm going good mock, great show, love
19:56
Speaker 7: a great news Mark. I've got a suggestion. Why don't
19:58
Speaker 7: we get Jimmy Fallon replace called it cad America laughing
20:02
Speaker 7: and have a good night, and I talk to them
20:04
Speaker 7: so they fail are the best?
20:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, Jimmy Taylor has a late night show. It's
20:07
Speaker 1: on the Fox News channel. Actually has a bigger audience
20:10
Speaker 1: than Colbert does, so he always does. Yeah, no reason
20:13
Speaker 1: for him to leave where he is. Fox News Channel
20:16
Speaker 1: has a much bigger audience than CBS does, and Jimmy
20:19
Speaker 1: Faylor does the best late night show. It's on Saturday
20:22
Speaker 1: nights at ten o'clock. You know, Colbert does it during
20:25
Speaker 1: the week, and he has like triple the ratings of Colbert,
20:29
Speaker 1: much bigger ratings than Colbert. So it should be their
20:33
Speaker 1: way around. Colbert should try to get on the Fox
20:35
Speaker 1: News Channel because you have a much much bigger audience there.
20:38
Speaker 1: Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
20:41
Speaker 12: Good morning, Mark, Mark, I'm okay, Good morning Mara. Mark.
20:44
Speaker 12: Speaking about rent increases, I told you several months ago
20:49
Speaker 12: that I already received my tax assessments and everything. I'm
20:53
Speaker 12: already playing in how much I'm gonna raise my tenants
20:58
Speaker 12: and commercial and otherwise. Mark, speaking of the.
21:03
Speaker 1: First, you're a landlord. If your property tax goes up
21:06
Speaker 1: ten percent, and that doesn't mean you raised the rent
21:10
Speaker 1: ten percent, right, because that's only a portion.
21:11
Speaker 12: Devern lease is up. You're gonna get raised that much
21:16
Speaker 12: lease at least, because I'm smart enough that any property
21:21
Speaker 12: I own. It is not rent stabilized, not rent controlled.
21:25
Speaker 12: It's private property. I can do whatever I want. And
21:29
Speaker 12: I even sing it to my tenants because a lot
21:31
Speaker 12: of them are liberals. I told them, I tell them,
21:34
Speaker 12: you voted for this, You're gonna pay for it. Speaking
21:37
Speaker 12: of equal time and everything with Stephen Colbert, in Italy,
21:42
Speaker 12: there is actually a law. It's called park condeita, which
21:46
Speaker 12: is Latin for equal time. In Italy, during the campaign season,
21:52
Speaker 12: you have a candidate on your show and you give them,
21:55
Speaker 12: let's say, ten minutes of time to talk about their
21:58
Speaker 12: candidacy and how like Bendami, how he's gonna ruin the city.
22:02
Speaker 12: You have to put the opposing side on. You have
22:06
Speaker 12: to give them equal time, even for TV and radio,
22:09
Speaker 12: and if you don't, they do enforced to find I
22:14
Speaker 12: wish they would do something else now, because there Whoopy
22:17
Speaker 12: Goldberger is ruling. My favorite Italian soap opera. They wrote
22:21
Speaker 12: her in one of my soap operas, It's all an
22:24
Speaker 12: Italian where during the World War Two, her father was
22:29
Speaker 12: played a soldier and he was in Italy and he
22:31
Speaker 12: knocked up an Italian broad So she's going back over
22:34
Speaker 12: there to discover her roots and it's disgusting.
22:37
Speaker 1: Vincent, you don't sound a soap opera type. But I
22:40
Speaker 1: have a feeling this is Italian TV.
22:42
Speaker 12: It's Italian TV.
22:43
Speaker 1: I have a feeling the women are pretty hot looking
22:45
Speaker 1: in this soap opera.
22:46
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's not about us, it's Italian soap opera stories. Yeah,
22:54
Speaker 12: you know what I mean.
22:55
Speaker 1: I gotcha, I got youa Hey, where where can somebody
22:58
Speaker 1: see this? You always talking about Italian TV. Where do
22:59

Speaker 12: Pay for it, but Roku TV. I pay an extra
23:11
Speaker 12: fee every month, and I get all these Italian channels.
23:15

23:19
Speaker 12: means a place in the sun. All takes place.
23:23
Speaker 1: Sounds good. Everybody goes sign up for Hey, Vincent, we

24:01
Speaker 1: How you doing very good?
24:03
Speaker 9: I was just reading this story about the oral histories
24:07
Speaker 9: from the Obama years that were released. Pretty funny, Josh Ernest,
24:12
Speaker 9: the last White House Press secretary, I'd forgotten the even existed.
24:15
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, the out talking about twenty sixteen. The outcome
24:18
Speaker 9: of the election was a direct rebuke of everything we
24:21
Speaker 9: had been trying to do for the last ten years.
24:24
Speaker 9: No kidding, Josh. This just occurred to you in when
24:29
Speaker 9: you were giving the oral history of that failed Obama administration. Wow,
24:35
Speaker 9: did they funny?
24:36
Speaker 1: Did they mention in this oral history that there was
24:37
Speaker 1: Obama who sent millions of ice agents out into the
24:40
Speaker 1: street deporting people, and they had Tom Holman run it
24:43
Speaker 1: for them. Did they mention that?
24:45
Speaker 7: Well?
24:45
Speaker 9: I guess, I guess. So Trump's election in twenty sixteen
24:49
Speaker 9: was a direct rebuke of that, right because they said
24:51
Speaker 9: every it was a rebuke of everything.
24:55
Speaker 1: Hey, Howie Carr, do you know that you're in the
24:57
Speaker 1: Epstein Files. I am, yeah, nothing bad. I mean, well,
25:04
Speaker 1: if you go to the Justice department in the Epstein
25:06
Speaker 1: Library they call it, there's a search bar. So I'm
25:09
Speaker 1: searching all the people I know were tangled up with him,
25:11
Speaker 1: and then just for the hell of it, I type
25:13
Speaker 1: my name and I come up like five times. But
25:16
Speaker 1: I mean, well, one time he was going to a
25:18
Speaker 1: lunch where I was the MC. One time somebody was
25:20
Speaker 1: emailing him about my show. So just now I typed
25:23
Speaker 1: your name in the search bar. You came up as
25:26
Speaker 1: somebody was telling him something about an interview you did,
25:29
Speaker 1: some guest that was on your show. Somebody's emailing him
25:31
Speaker 1: about it.
25:32
Speaker 9: Out.
25:35
Speaker 1: But if you type Howie car in the search bar,
25:38
Speaker 1: one hit comes up in the Epstein files.
25:42
Speaker 9: And you got five hits. Yeah, I think that makes
25:44
Speaker 9: me a better person than you. I think this is
25:51
Speaker 9: a reverse, reverse measure of one's morality and ethics.
25:56
Speaker 12: Right.
25:57
Speaker 1: But again, it was nothing bad with me and nothing
25:59
Speaker 1: bad with you. Harmless stuff. But uh, a friend of
26:02
Speaker 1: mine's a comedian. He was yelling, He goes, how could
26:04
Speaker 1: you be in the Epstein for That's disgusting, And I said,
26:07
Speaker 1: type your name and I hear the keyboard going, he went,
26:09
Speaker 1: oh my god, he was in there. Epstein went to
26:12
Speaker 1: some show where he was part of the show.
26:14
Speaker 9: So wow, that's uh, that's something. It's a it's really
26:19
Speaker 9: funny to watch these guys. Did you see morning?
26:21
Speaker 12: Joe?
26:22
Speaker 9: I guess had Jamie Raskin on, and he asked him
26:25
Speaker 9: the obvious question, which you know should have been asked
26:27
Speaker 9: a million times earlier, which is, well, if these if
26:30
Speaker 9: these files are so devastating to Trump, well, why didn't
26:33
Speaker 9: you guys do anything for four years when Biden was president?
26:38
Speaker 9: And you know Raskin, who's you know, a FOURD tongue? Uh,
26:44
Speaker 9: you know, snake in the grass? He could he was
26:47
Speaker 9: him in an hall and he sounded like Joe Biden
26:49
Speaker 9: trying to come up with an explanation, and of course
26:51
Speaker 9: there isn't a reasonable explanation.
26:54
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, Now Hillary has to testify in a week
26:57
Speaker 1: or so. What do you think she's going to do?
26:59
Speaker 1: Just him and on?
27:01
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think she I think that's what she's I mean,
27:04
Speaker 9: she's she really hasn't she really hasn't done very well
27:08
Speaker 9: in that trip to Munich when she's laughing when she
27:10
Speaker 9: was asked about the hot tub and and then she
27:13
Speaker 9: was saying that, you know Bill was doing Bill was
27:16
Speaker 9: on the plane for charity's sake. Become even by Hillary
27:21
Speaker 9: Clinton's standards, that's kind of weak. And then he said
27:24
Speaker 9: he was he was on the in the pursuit. And
27:28
Speaker 9: the only word I heard was pursued. He was Bill
27:30
Speaker 9: Clinton was pursuing something.
27:32
Speaker 1: On that plane, but.
27:33
Speaker 9: I don't think it was I don't think it was charity. Oh,
27:35
Speaker 9: and she also said he saved millions of lives, not
27:39
Speaker 9: not not hundreds or thousands, but millions of lives with
27:43
Speaker 9: the Clinton Foundation. I guess a lot of people relied
27:45
Speaker 9: on those private jets that they rent and bought, bought
27:49
Speaker 9: with the with the money they got for the Clinton Foundation.
27:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't think she mentioned that Epstein was
27:55
Speaker 1: one of the founders of the Clinton Foundation. It was
27:57
Speaker 1: his money that helped put it together. And there was
28:00
Speaker 1: one interview over the weekend. They asked her about Gallaine Maxwell.
28:03
Speaker 1: She said, I don't recall ever meeting her. Well, you
28:05
Speaker 1: can see the pictures of her at Chelsea Clinton's wedding,
28:08
Speaker 1: sitting there.
28:09
Speaker 9: Right and then I think she then I think she
28:10
Speaker 9: backed off, you know, she you know, she she went
28:14
Speaker 9: for the more plausible deniability, said, I may have met
28:16
Speaker 9: her a couple of times. Do you do you invite
28:18
Speaker 9: people you've met twice to your to your only child's wedding?
28:22
Speaker 9: I don't think so, but I don't know. If I
28:24
Speaker 9: don't have twenty children, you in by somebody that you
28:28
Speaker 9: only met twice, you know, to a wedding. It's I mean,
28:32
Speaker 9: but they can't stop lying. What I wonder is if
28:35
Speaker 9: she'll pull out the cackle or if people or you know,
28:38
Speaker 9: someone will tell her under no circumstances do you laugh?
28:42
Speaker 10: Help?
28:43
Speaker 9: And especially in that you know, at what point, at
28:47
Speaker 9: this point, what difference does it make? Style cackling?
28:51
Speaker 1: Uh hey? Speaking of the weekend AOC in Munich at
28:55
Speaker 1: that conference, I mean was done. But did you know
28:59
Speaker 1: she was that?
29:01
Speaker 10: No?
29:01
Speaker 7: You know?
29:02
Speaker 9: I I said on my own show yesterday. I used
29:04
Speaker 9: to teach at a Boston university for about three years,
29:08
Speaker 9: and I'm thinking of hiring one of those internet scrubbers.
29:11
Speaker 9: It's just that go through the internet and make sure
29:14
Speaker 9: all references to me and Boston University are sponged for
29:18
Speaker 9: the Anybody who ever walked down Commonwealth Avenue in Boston
29:23
Speaker 9: should be doing the same thing. I mean, that is
29:26
Speaker 9: so embarrassing, how dumb she is. But again, it's the
29:30
Speaker 9: it's it's the old thing. You know that the Democrats
29:32
Speaker 9: don't have to worry about ever being criticized or or
29:37
Speaker 9: fact checked, so that this is this is what they do.
29:40
Speaker 9: They get it too, they get into trouble like this
29:43
Speaker 9: that you know, you know who's got to be really
29:44
Speaker 9: depressed about this though her her performance is Chuck Schumer
29:48
Speaker 9: because you know, he wants her to run for president,
29:51
Speaker 9: not for the Senate. If she drops back. I mean,
29:53
Speaker 9: she's a she's an auto back, don't you think.
29:55
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I didn't think about that. Yeah, it
29:57
Speaker 1: killed their presidential chances. But that you're right. Now, she's
30:00
Speaker 1: got to go for Schumer's seed, which but you gotta
30:03
Speaker 1: give Schumer credit. He got new glasses. It's a whole
30:06
Speaker 1: new Chuck Schumer with the big thick glasses. Now.
30:09
Speaker 9: Uh so, how about how about the Hakim Jeffries. You're
30:14
Speaker 9: the minority leader he wants ran defying a Jewish member
30:17
Speaker 9: of Congress to resign because he made that joke about
30:20
Speaker 9: Muslims and dogs. I mean, is that a good look
30:23
Speaker 9: for Hakim Jeffries to go out there, I mean with
30:25
Speaker 9: the anti Semitic writings that are in his background from
30:28
Speaker 9: college days. But again it's like AOC. They don't they
30:32
Speaker 9: don't care. They don't think that they're ever going to
30:35
Speaker 9: get called out on any of this stuff. You know,
30:38
Speaker 9: in most cases they aren't.
30:40
Speaker 1: If Democrats would to take Congress, you'd have hakem Jeffries
30:43
Speaker 1: and Schumer as the leaders. They're both in the same
30:46
Speaker 1: little district in Brooklyn, very left wing little district in Brooklyn.
30:52
Speaker 1: Does that make any sense that those two with the
30:54
Speaker 1: same point of view running Congress?
30:57
Speaker 9: No, it doesn't. Hey, how about what's going to happen
31:00
Speaker 9: with Mamdani's poisoned pill for local I mean she could
31:04
Speaker 9: either she'd either It's like it's like a firing squad
31:08
Speaker 9: in Utah. They give you the choice, right, a firing
31:10
Speaker 9: squad or the electric chair. What is she going to
31:12
Speaker 9: do allow a millionaires tax to drive them out or
31:16
Speaker 9: to or to allow the property taxes to go up
31:19
Speaker 9: ten percent so they can cater more luxury food to
31:24
Speaker 9: the homeless encampments.
31:25
Speaker 1: Well, the good news is people that know these two
31:29
Speaker 1: and private will tell you they're both cowards. They don't
31:31
Speaker 1: have the guts to actually pull the trigger on anything ever,
31:34
Speaker 1: So Mom, Donnie will never get his tax through. Hokle
31:37
Speaker 1: will never get the tax through. They'll just coast along
31:40
Speaker 1: and just drive everybody crazy. But the good news is
31:44
Speaker 1: real estate is up in New York. Apartments are selling
31:46
Speaker 1: like crazy, Rentals are through the roof. So apparently people
31:50
Speaker 1: aren't worried about him.
31:52
Speaker 9: So just keep telling yourself that, Just keep whistling through
31:59
Speaker 9: that graveyard.
32:02
Speaker 1: You're right, Okay, it's only been like two months.
32:05
Speaker 9: You're right right now, all the real estate listings are
32:08
Speaker 9: going to have to have no pets allowed.
32:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, all right, that's a good point. Two months
32:14
Speaker 1: in I shouldn't be with But the snow got picked up, well,
32:17
Speaker 1: actually had melted, all right, so that's good.
