  Speaker 1: Now seven wor presents no Mark Simon Shaw. Well, well
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we'll get to the super Bowl. We'll get to the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Guthrie kidnapping, bring all the latest, We'll get the Washington Post,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We'll get the voter ID, We'll get to the crazy Mayor.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Gallain. Maxwell testifying today, lots to talk about,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Like you, I probably I don't feel so great. Stomach full,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: stomach ache from last eating too much. Super Bowl party,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you know, yesterday, of course super Bowl Sunday. Today they
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: call it miswork Monday. A lot of people call in
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: sick today or plan ahead and take the day off
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: because of the super Bowl party. So twenty six million,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: twenty six million people have taken the day off today.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should have too, but no, no, it's better
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to work. Super Bowl was possibly the most boring Super
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Bowl game ever. It was just a total mis match.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: The season, it was a very weird season. Scheduling was
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: bad because the Patriots, they called it a soft schedule.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: They didn't get any really tough games. They got really
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: easy teams to play, got them to seventeen and three,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: which they probably didn't deserve. Then some weird things happen
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs where the teams that should have gone
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, Denver, the Bills, the Ramp the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: teams that should have gone because just the way the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: playoffs worked out, they somehow accidentally got eliminated. So you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: had the Patriots, who weren't really ready for a super
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Bowl against Seattle. So the Patriots not enough offense against
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the best defense in the world, and it was a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: kind of a dull game. Patriots are going to be great.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: They were in the Super Bowl a couple of years
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: too early. Otherwise it went pretty well. You know, the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: commercials were great, they were really well done, but they
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: didn't have the impact they usually have. A lot of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: people not that thrilled with the commercials. I think the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: reason is those commercials on the Super Bowl really dazzled you.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: But now in the world of AI and Instagram and TikTok,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you see so many unbelievable videos AI videos, so many
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: unbelievable videos every second, all day long, every day that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: by the time you get the Super Bowl, it's nothing
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I've seen better than that on TikTok all all week.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So that's going to be a problem. I'm I'm gonna
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: deal with that because those commercials are important. Bad Bunny,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it was pretty good. He was nothing offensive. Look great,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: move great. Then I don't know what the ally's singing.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: It's certainly a snappy, bouncy Now you see a guy
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: like that can't really be offensive. Nobody knows what the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: hell he's saying. What the hell is this guy talking about?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows. Well, if you speak Spanish, I guess you
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: know what the hell he's saying, but most of us don't.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: We don't know what the hell he said, but I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: don't know. Look, hey, you listen. Musically, it's it's not
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Carnegie Hall, it's the super Bowl. That's good enough for
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl. You know. The problem is, we'll talk
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: about this later. It used to be a mainstream artist
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: who everybody knew would perform at the super Bowl. It'd
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: be Billy Joel, it'd be the Rolling Stones, it'd be
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the most mainstream. Everybody every age knew them, loved them.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You can't do that anymore. We'll talk about this a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: little later. You can't come up with any artist that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: everybody would like or everybody would know. It's also splintered nowadays.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie, the kidnapping, the deadline is today at five
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: o'clock for six million dollars to be delivered in bitcoin.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen at five o'clock today.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I'll just give you all the latest on it over
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the weekend. And one reason you're not hearing much. You
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: noticed the first couple of days you heard a lot
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and that goofy local sheriff was having a press conference
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: every hour, every two hours, there were these press conferences,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the statements that were revealing stuff. All of a sudden,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: it went quiet the last four or five days. That's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: because the FEDS took over the FBI, and the FEDS
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: took over and the FBI. Feds are very quiet. They
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: don't reveal things, they keep it, they keep a lid
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: on everything. So that's what's been going on for the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: last few days. What we can piece together is they believe,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: they have reason to believe the kidnappers were in the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: house a long time, over a half hour. That's unusual. Now,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a woman in that age who's not mobile, who can't
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: walk without a cane, it's very hard to move her,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and that might have taken a while. But they believe
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: they were in the house doing something, and that's why
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: they've been back in the house all weekend. They've been
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: seen coming in removing suitcases and bags full of stuff,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: some sort of evidence. They've even gone through the septic
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: tank of the house. They believe that while the kidnappers
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: are there, they might have disposed of evidence, flushed it
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: down the toilet. That's what they were looking for. They've
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: been back in the house looking for DNA. They don't
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: believe that it's possible for kidnappers to be in the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: house for over a half hour and not leave something,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: if not fingerprints, DNA, something some kind of clues. They've
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: been up on the roof. It's believed there might have
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: been another camera up on the roof. But the other
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: reason they were on the roof is if you're seeing
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the video where it shows the roof, it's bright white.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: It's really clean white the roof, and neighbors have pointed
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: out that when you live in that area, your roof
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: gets very dirty, it gets grimy, it gets gray from
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the elements, and that because it was so white, it
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: was so new looking. They believe that she recently had
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a roof redone and they're looking at that right now.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: They believe, for various reasons, that the kidnappers were familiar
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: with this woman, familiar with the house, and that could
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: indicate friends, relatives, but more likely it could indicate workers,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: people that were recently in the house doing work. If
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: there's any kind of servants there, a housekeeper, an aid
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: or something like that, obviously they've talked to them. But
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: if she recently had her roof redone, they'll be talking
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to those workers, anybody it's been in the house or
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: familiar with the situation. So five o'clock today is the deadline.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: They want six million dollars in bitcoin. You've seen the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: video where Savannah Guthrie and the family say we just
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: want our mother back, we want to celebrate with her.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: We'll pay. And that's a very very very carefully scripted
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: statement that she made. The FBI has hostage negotiators, experts
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: at how to talk to kidnappers, and they've worded that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: thing very carefully with keywords, trigger words, things that appeal
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: in the right way to kidnappers. So that's why it
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: was so carefully read. Other than that, we'll just see,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: we'll see. It turns out, we find out now when
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: her mother went missing and she wanted to go to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the police. Savannah Guthrie first called Senator Mark Kelly, the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Arizona Senator spoke to him first and asked him to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: call the police. Asked he's the senator from Arizona. Asked
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: him to call the authorities and get them going. So
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that's how it all started. FBI believes this is some
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: it's not. In other words, they've said it's not a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: traditional kidnapping. Something's not traditional here. A they were in
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the house way too long. Also, ransom notes go to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the family. In this case, they're sending the ransom notes
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to the media. They're sending it to local TV stations.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: That's very unusual. That's extremely unusual. They don't quite know
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: what that means. It might just mean they want it
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to go very public for some reason. Otherwise, why wouldn't
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you just send it to a family. Usually when a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: kidnapping happens, nobody hears about it until it's over, because
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it's right to the family and they keep it quiet.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: But the ransom notes are going to the media, extremely unusual,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so not traditional. Also, they were in the house a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: very long time. The neighborhood where she lives, very very
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: close to the Mexican border. It's just a few miles away.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: So they're also thinking that these kidnappers could have come
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: from Mexico or they could have gone to Mexico. In
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: one of the ransom demands, it said USD US dollars
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: instead of just six million dollars six million USD usd.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: It's usually a phrase, a term used by foreigners. Americans
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: don't usually use it. That's another reason they suspect Mexico. So, hey,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Gallaine Maxwell testifies today. She's going to do it from jail,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: by zoom. It's in front of the Congressional Committee. She's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: going to testify in the Epstein stuff. She has already
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: said she'll take the Fifth Amendment. Now her conviction, she's
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: gotten appeal coming up. She goes back into a court
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to appeal her conviction, so that would justify the Fifth Amendment.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: You don't want to do anything to screw up her
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: upcoming appeal, so you won't hear much of anything. You'll
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: get to look at her, but don't expect much to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: come out of that. I've been reading through the Epstein
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: files all weekend. It's fascinating. You just google, just google
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Epstein files. It'll take you to the Department of Justice
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: website where they have it's called they call it the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Epstein Library. It has a search bar, so in there
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you type whatever name you want. It'll bring you all
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the things that are in the Epstein files. Just for
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the hell of it. I typed my name. I came
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: up six times. Nothing bad, nothing bad, all harmless, innocent stuff.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I always kept my distance from Epstein, but he was
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: going to come to a luncheon where I was the MC.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So that's how one thing got in there. He was
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: friends with Jackie Martlin, Jackie the joke Man, emailing back
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and forth of them, so I got mentioned in one
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of those emails. Nothing is totally harmless, innocent stuff, that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Who else is all through it? But
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Woody Allen is all through it now. Woody Allen continued,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You know, after Hollywood got done with him, he continued
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to make movies. But to make those movies and there
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: were low budget movies. All the Woody Allen films, good films,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: but low budget. He had to go find wealthy people
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to finance the movies outside of Hollywood, so Epstein was
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: one of them. He got Epstein to finance the movies,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and Epstein would pay for his movies. Now, in exchange
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: for that, Woody Allan has to keep showing up at
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Epstein's house whenever Epstein tells him, please come to my
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: dinner party. Please come to this party. I'm having lunch
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: with these people. Please come. So whenever Epstein had a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: bunch of CEOs or whoever he was trying to impress,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: he'd have Woody Allen come and sit with them at dinner.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: That was the price for the financing this films. Dick
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Cavett shows up in the Epstein files. I guess Woody
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Allen's very close to Dick Cavett. Woody Allen must have
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: dragged him into this. Cabot not as much as what
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: he owaned, but he wanted some financing. He was looking
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: to do a PBS special. You know when you see
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: those big PBS specials, somebody has to pay for them.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: PBS very rarely pays for him. Somebody has to finance them.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: So there was going to be an American Master's Profile
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: atic Cabot. But Cabot had to get the financing, so
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Epstein volunteered to pay it. It was four hundred and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: eighty thousand dollars now in exchange for that. You'll see
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in the emails. He wants Cavet to show up at
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: this lunch with a bunch of his friends. He wants
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Cabot to come to this party he's having. He wants
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Cabot to come to this dinner he's having. So that's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the price you pay. The most embarrassing one of these
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: college presidents. Epstein would make big donations to the colleges,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: but some of the I don't want to mention names
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: because some of them I know. But these college presidents,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: they would be at his house every week and constantly
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: calling him and coming to his house every which way.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Then yeah, some Steve Tish is in there. It doesn't
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: look so good, Steve Tish. They're always talking about women.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And there's one email exchange he's trying to there's some
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: young woman, not underage, but a younger woman, let's say,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: in her twenties. Tish is trying to invite her to
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Boston for the weekend. And she said, you know, I'm
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: in school, I go to college. I can't come. So
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: but I don't think it's not a problem for Steve Tish.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Remember Bob Kraft with the with that little strip mall
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: massage parlor whatever. I mean. If that didn't get them
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: in trouble with the NFL, the Steve Tish thing won't.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Otherwise it's pretty harmless. Hey, we have a new cardinal
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: began this weekend. His first service was this Sunday Friday.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: There was the big luncheon, you know, to welcome the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: new cardinal. I noticed it was not like the other cardinals.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: It was not like Dolner O'Connor. I noticed the governor
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: didn't come, the mayor didn't come. A lot of people
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: didn't come for the new cardinal, and a lot of
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: people not crazy about this new cardinal. He's sort of
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a left wing, woke cardinal. He doesn't sound great, you know, Dolan,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: besides being the most magnificent, wonderful guy you could ever know,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and a great leader, very inspirational. This guy Dolan incredible speaker,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: makes amazing speeches. This guy doesn't sound so great. He's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: not the great speaker here he is.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: the neighborhood. I'm in a New York state of mind,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: concrete jungles where dreams are made of There's nothing you
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: can't do now you're in New York.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Uh, all right again, not the most impressive speaker in
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the world. But he's the new Cardinal. Ronald Hicks is
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: his name. Maybe he'll get better, Maybe he'll get better.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: But you know, we keep saying that about mom Donnie,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: but it's I don't know. And we'll get to my Donnie,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and why the snow didn't get picked up so fast?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: And got a whole lot more to get to. We'll
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: get to voter id, we'll get to the Washington Post.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Big mess over there. Everybody, you're getting laid off. The
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: CEO quit resigned. He didn't resign, he got fired. I'll
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: tell you why later. But he got fired. You know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: he pretended. They allowed him to pretend to quit, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: he put out one of those statements, I well, I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: like to spend more time with this. I want to
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: spend more time with my family. Have you seen his family?
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to spend more time with them. They always
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: give you that same crazy excuse. But wait, we got
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a lot to get to, So we'll get back. When
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: we'll get to the super Bowl, we'll go over bad
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Bunny and more. In a few minutes, we'll take some calls.
• 14:46
