  Speaker 1: Now more marks alone on seventeen wr Well, in just
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a few minutes, it's about it's a little after eleven o'clock.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: In a few minutes, Bill Clinton will show up to testify,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: give a deposition the committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein. They're doing
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: this in Chappaqua. They have actually rented the committee has
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: rented the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center. Very nice. It's not
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: exactly Radio City, but it's very nice. And they're going
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to do it there and they'll be the Hillary Clinton
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: grilling went on for hours and hours yesterday, and this
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: is of course with Bill Clinton will be much much
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: more to talk about. So this could take all day.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: This could be a six to seven hour thing grilling
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, and he will Hillary's whole thing about it.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know Jeffrey Epstein. I never met Jeffrey Epstein,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: which nobody was buying. Bill Clinton can't do that. Obviously,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: they were together quite a bit and traveling all over
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the world together, So I'll have to detail all of that.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: You know. Also, when Bill Clinton was president, Jeffrey Epstein
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: visited him in the White House seventeen times, stayed over
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Lincoln bedroom that held so first of all, It's hard
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to imagine seventeen visits to the White House sleeping over
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: all that stuff that he wouldn't have met Hillary. Hard
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to believe that now some of there's Democrats on the committee.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: They're yelling and screaming about they want Donald Trump to testify.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Trump would have a good story to tell because he
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: was the first one that really caught on to Epstein,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and way back, way back in the beginning all of this.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: In mar A Lago, Epstein made a lot of money.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: He was a very wealthy guy, and then when he
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: came to Palm Beach, he joined mar A Lago started
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: throwing money around. Anytime you run a resort or a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: club and there's a new member with a ton of
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: money spending it like crazy. You're the owner, you're the manager,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you always go meet the guy and you're always nice
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to him. Always see a loaf, he's there, you go
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: greet him. And that's basically Epstein and Trump. They became
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: They were never friends, but they became very friendly. They
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: both like pretty women, they both like parties, so they
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: were together a lot of them. And then one day Epstein,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the member at mar A Lago, hits on a young
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: girl a young girl working in the locker room, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it turned out she was the daughter of a member.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Trump gets wind of this, has Epstein thrown out of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the club, revokes his membership, tosses him out, never talks
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to him again, started to warn people about Epstein, even
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: me back then. He was one of the couple of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: people that warned me stay away from Epstein and going
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: near that guy. So he'd have a pretty good story
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to testify too. So Democrats looking for something out of him,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. They're also calling for Howard
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Lutnick to resign, that he should leave and describe it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Turns out all they were able to figure out is
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that one day Howard Lutnik and the way he knew Epstein.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Lutnik bought a house on East seventy first Street, a townhouse,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: his wife and kids. They lived in this townhouse. Well,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the townhouse next door literally attached to their townhouse. The
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: next door neighbor was Jeffrey Epstein. That's how they met.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Lutnik was a big Wall Street guy, Cantor Fitzgerald, and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of course what he always does, Epstein was chasing after Lutnik,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: inviting him to party everything, And then Lutnik was going
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to be on his boat down in the Caribbean right
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: near Epstein's Island, and Epstein begging him to come to lunch.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: So finally one day he's, yeah, we'll stop in for lunch,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and the boat pulled up to Epstein's island and for
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: one hour they had lunch. But Lutnik had with him
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: his wife, his four kids, he had two nannies, he
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: had another couple with him. They spent an hour on
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the island having lunch. I don't think you have to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: resign for having lunch with somebody. Now here's some sickening stuff.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Everything is in those Epstein files. Everything, every email he
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: ever sent, every text he ever wrote, His credit card
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: bills are in there. Everything. So they've been looking through
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the credit card bills and they see he was paying
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of storage facilities around the country. He had
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: storage facilities all over the place. So they've gone and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: open up those storage facilities to see what he had
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: in there. He had a number of these storage lockers
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: all over the place, and apparently he had an army
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of private eyes taking stuff to the storage facilities and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: putting him in there. But here's some of what they
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: found in there. What was he having? What was he
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: filling these storage facilities with sex slave manuals, dozens of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: address books, and a huge porn stash. When they say
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: porn stash, now, I remember this is back then. Your
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: kids today you wouldn't understand this because it's all free
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and it's all on a computer. Back then, porn was
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: on VHS tapes and DVDs. Now there are kids listening
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: on what a VHS? What is that? It wasn't that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: easy your kids today. You had to go somewhere and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: get porn on a VHS you had. Did you rent it?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. I guess you could rent it right
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: like any VHS, or you'd buy it, But you had
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: these VHS tapes with the porn on it. Also, Epstein
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: had a lot of nude photos, apparently of women he'd
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: been with. Many of these victims, and box loads of
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: sex toys were also uncovered. Storage locker and Palm Beach
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was one of at least six units scattered across the US.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: They found him on the credit card statements. Private eyes
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: were paid to move this stuff around. You gotta oh,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you know it was. Here's what it was. Remember he
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was arrested in two thousand and five and charged with
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: sex with underage girls. He wasted all that stuff, So
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it was after that, I guess he got nervous about
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: having all this porn and all this stuff, so he
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: had private eyed moving it around to these storage facilities.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Pretty disgusting. Anyway, Clinton, we'll know by the end of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the day what happened in this testimony. Clinton will have
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to explain why he was traveling all over the world
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: with Epstein, why he used Epstein to found and fund
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the Clinton Global Initiative, why he invited Epstein to the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: White House seventeen times while he was president. Hey, Duncan
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Donuts announces, Oh, actually, they're only trying it out in
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: two states so far. This is the new thing. It's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: called the bucket of coffee forty eight ounces. You know
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: how big that is. It's a bucket. It's for one person.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: You know, you realize how fat people are nowadays. Everybody's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: o beast nowadays. You know, if you go back and
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: watch movies from the nineteen fifties or the nineteen sixties,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: everybody's nice and thin, and you know why, look carefully
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: at the nineteen fifties movies and sixties movies. Portions were
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: tiny back then compared to now. They were small. Everything
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: was small. Coffee cups were small, the plates were small.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Watch scenes where they're eating. It's small portions. That's the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: way you're supposed to eat. They ate that way back then,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and they were all nice and thin. And then through
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the years, everybody in the food world started increasing portion sizes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Everything got bigger, candy bars, everything, everything you ordered, everything,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you just started eating more and portion size got larger.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts comes along. They got regular coffee, large, medium,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: extra large. They didn't have that back then. And now
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: they're going to go even worse with Tunkin Donuts with
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the bucket, the forty eight ounce bucket of coffee. They're
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: trying it out in two states. And you know, McDonald's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: is working on a new hamburger. They're trying it out
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: in some place. It's called the Big Art. It's like
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a Big Mac, but three times the size, absolutely enormous.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So again, it's just going to get people more and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: more obese. As Ozempic tries to catch up with all
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: of this, they speaking of food, Zora and Mamdani remember
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: that free grocery store. Well, apparently he was serious about it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: He wants to start trying it. He wants to start
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: by spending seventy million on his free grocery stores. Now,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: remember the ideas the groceries are free, But it's seventy million,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: so that means taxpayers are paying for it. It's not free.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: It means all of us have to pay for these
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: free groceries. And didn't he just say New York was broke,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that we got a terrible budget deficit, that we don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: have any money. So why seventy million for the free
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: grocery stores? Makes absolutely no sense. Hey, Chuck Schumer, you
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: know how they always tell you about President Trump's approval rating.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: They always claim it's low. It's not. They rig those polls.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer's approval rating. You know what it is. You
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: never hear about this. Nobody reports this. Chuck Schumer's approval
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: rating twenty seven percent. This is a liberal, left wing
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: blue Democrat in New York. Only twenty seven percent think
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: he's doing a good job. So not good. The latest
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and the Guthrie case, it looks like they're kind of
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: winding down. They don't know what else to do. Now,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: they still have three hundred to four hundred agents, FBI,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: federal agents on the case. What can they do. Well,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: they came out with that new million dollar award. It
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: had been fifty thousand, then one hundred thousand. Finally they
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: offered a million dollar reward. And I guess this is
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: why they didn't want to do that in the first place.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Once the million dollar reward came out, they got fifteen
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: hundred tips. Fifteen hundred tips. Now you know what it
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: takes in manpower to run those all down. That could
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: take a while, but that's all they can do right now. Hey,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: there's a you know, the White House Ballroom. The President
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: wants to build the most magnificent ballroom in America at
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the White House. The problem is they got the East
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Room of the White House, which if you look at
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it on TV or in pictures, it looks pretty elegant,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: but it's tiny. It can only hold like one hundred
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and twenty people. It's small. So whenever they had a
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: big event, especially with a big world leader at the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: White House, they had to do it out on the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: lawn in a tent, you know, like somebody in having
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a party in their backyard. In Long Island. It was embarrassing,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: especially for world leaders who live in these palaces that
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: come to America for a big presidential dinner and they're
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in a tent in the backyard of the White House,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you know, standing on wet grass. It was embarrassing. So
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: President Trump wants to build a ballroom, and he is
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the best builder in the world right now of ballrooms.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Nobody in the world has built more ballrooms. He builds
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: them all over the place, in every hotel. He has.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: The Lago Ballroom, a spectacular The Washington, d c. Hotel
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: he built quite a ballroom there. So he knows what
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: he's doing. So the White House won was going to
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: be instead of one hundred and twenty in the Eastern
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: was going to be four hundred. Then it was eight hundred.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Now I think it's up to fifteen hundred. It's a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: magnificent ballroom. He's going to get it done for four
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: hundred million. If the government tried to do it, it'd
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: be six billion. He'll do it for four hundred million.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: He'll do it fast. If the government built it, it
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: would take probably five six years. He'll get it built
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: in five six months. It's going to move very fast. Now.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: The only thing is everybody, you know, crazy Washington, the swamp.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: They were trying to stop it. So the Landmark Provision
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: whatever commission blocked it. That was it. Well they went
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to court and they won that. Now there's another Washington,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: d C. Swamp, a National Preservation landmark, whatever the hell
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: it is, went to court to stop the ballroom. Well
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the judge ruled yesterday and throughout their lawsuits. So that's it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: They're no more legal hurdles. Construction can begin. They've already
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: cleared the whole space. They knocked down whatever they had
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to knock down, dug a hole in the ground, construction equipment.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: You can see its sitting there. But now there's no
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: more legal hurdles. It's over. They can start building. So
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: starting Monday, you're gonna see all kinds of construction going on.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: And you watch how fast that ballroom goes up. It's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: going to be absolutely amazing. It looks too big to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: me though, the building, the outside of it, I mean,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: it's almost bigger than the White House, but the insight
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: will be spectacular. It's so big that they can do
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: any kind of event there. They'll even be able to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: hold from now on the presidential inaugurations in that ballroom.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: It's going to be something. You know, they've always had
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: a big problem because it's Washington, DC and in January
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: it can get cold. And remember this last inauguration, it
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: was like five below zero and snowing, so they had
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to move inside to the cap Rotonda. Well, from now
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: on you never have to worry again. They'll be in
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: this magnificent ballroom. And it's hard to imagine that if
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: a Democrat gets elected he could get away with tearing
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: down the ballroom. I don't think he could. Nobody could.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: It would be impossible to justify doing it. So you'll
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: see it go up very very fast. Hey, as we
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: mentioned before, there's this bidding war for Warner Brothers Discovery WBD.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Netflix bowed out yesterday, so Paramount will get Warner Brothers. Now,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the reason they want this, it's a big company. One
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: reason they want it is Netflix and all these streaming services.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: They got to make movies and TV series, you need
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: production facilities. So one of the reasons they want a
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Warner Brothers Discovery. It comes with the Warner Brothers Movie Studio,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: which is the biggest studio in Hollywood. That'll be a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: big help to Paramount production wise. And the other thing
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: they'll get is HBO HBO Max, so they'll put that
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: into Paramount, which will make it a bigger streaming service.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: They'll also get CNN. They don't really want it. It
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything. It's a tiny little network with twelve viewers.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: But they claim they'll fix it up. I think that
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: was one of the promises they made Donald Trump, that
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: they'll fix CNN, make it more neutral, more balanced, more moderate,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: not a crazy left wing propaganda site. So it looks
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: like the deal's going to go through. Netflix bowed out.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: That's good news. So this is working out very well. Hey,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: well take some calls when we come back. Eight hundred
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: hundred three two one zero seven ten.
