- 0:00Speaker 1: You're ahead of the game just for being here. It's
- 0:04Speaker 1: marks alone on sevent tenors. Well, not too bad here.
- 0:12Speaker 1: It's a little light rain right now around the Tri
- 0:15Speaker 1: State area. Someplaces getting snow and all that first storm
- 0:18Speaker 1: of winter. Now, let me just point out these long
- 0:21Speaker 1: range forecasts. You know, it says what kind of winter
- 0:23Speaker 1: we're gonna have. It's gonna be the coldest winter ever,
- 0:25Speaker 1: it's gonna be the snowiest winter ever. It's gonna be
- 0:27Speaker 1: you see that every year. Don't take those seriously. They
- 0:30Speaker 1: mean absolutely nothing. Farmers Almanac, their predictions have been wrong
- 0:34Speaker 1: ninety percent of the times. Now, don't even take any
- 0:39Speaker 1: real serious weather forecast or meteorologists will tell you can't
- 0:44Speaker 1: do the seasonal forecasts. It's absolutely impossible. If there's no
- 0:49Speaker 1: logical way of forecast an entire season. You know, for instance,
- 0:54Speaker 1: they forecast it this would be one of the worst
- 0:56Speaker 1: hurricane seasons ever. It turned out to be the lightest
- 0:59Speaker 1: hur season ever. So season forecasts, don't take it seriously.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Let's see Bill O'Reilly was talking about this. This is very important.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Let's get back to this. Bill O'Reilly pointing out that
- 1:13Speaker 1: there's a big problem coming for Comy and coming for
- 1:16Speaker 1: Leticia James. Now, they got the charges against Komy and
- 1:20Speaker 1: Letitia James. They both got their charges dismissed by a
- 1:23Speaker 1: left wing judge who did not rule on the charges.
- 1:27Speaker 1: They found no problem with the charges. What they found
- 1:29Speaker 1: was that the US attorney was improperly appointed or something.
- 1:33Speaker 1: She's an interim US attorney and she'd been there past
- 1:36Speaker 1: a deadline. So on the technicality of the appointment of
- 1:41Speaker 1: the US attorney, that's how it got tossed out. Now
- 1:44Speaker 1: they can appeal that and probably win that. But what
- 1:49Speaker 1: we're hearing is they're not going to appeal it. They're
- 1:51Speaker 1: going to just simply file all new charges now. But
- 1:54Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly was talking about there's a big trap being
- 1:57Speaker 1: laid for Leticia James. Currently, there are seven thousand illegal
- 2:04Speaker 1: aliens who are out and out criminals, I mean really
- 2:07Speaker 1: bad criminals, accused of murder, of actually well up more
- 2:12Speaker 1: than accused. They've actually committed crimes like murder, rape, child pornography,
- 2:16Speaker 1: armed robbery. It's a terrible list. I mean, these are dangerous, dangerous,
- 2:21Speaker 1: convicted criminals, and they're illegal. There's seven thousand of them.
- 2:26Speaker 1: They're locked up in New York. But the problem is
- 2:29Speaker 1: they all get led out. They get led out all
- 2:31Speaker 1: the time. But Ice wants to come in and arrest
- 2:35Speaker 1: these seven thousand illegals. They're totally illegal migrants. They're here illegally,
- 2:41Speaker 1: and they've been convicted of very, very serious crimes. But
- 2:44Speaker 1: here in New York you got crazy Alvin Bragg the
- 2:47Speaker 1: district attorney, who doesn't put him in prison. And then
- 2:50Speaker 1: because of the awful job Andrew Cuomo did as governor,
- 2:54Speaker 1: he did horrible things. One of the things he did
- 2:56Speaker 1: was he changed up the parole board. The governor appoints
- 2:59Speaker 1: me to the parole board. So he started appointing real
- 3:02Speaker 1: left wing coops, filled the parole board, left wing cooks.
- 3:06Speaker 1: They let everybody out of prison. They've let out forty
- 3:09Speaker 1: three cop killers, and they're letting out these illegals like crazy.
- 3:13Speaker 1: These are dangerous, dangerous criminals who are here illegally, and
- 3:17Speaker 1: they're letting them out into the streets. So here's the
- 3:19Speaker 1: deal with Letitia James. Ice has sent Letitia James a
- 3:25Speaker 1: letter demanding that she turn over all seven thousand illegal
- 3:29Speaker 1: aliens to them. Some of them are in prison. It'd
- 3:32Speaker 1: be very easy to go to the prison and take
- 3:34Speaker 1: them and deport them. Ice wants to deport these seven
- 3:39Speaker 1: thousand illegals and get them out of the country. It's
- 3:42Speaker 1: up to Letitia James to hand them over. She's received
- 3:45Speaker 1: the letter from the Department of Homeland Security. So, as
- 3:49Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly pointed out, if she refuses to do this,
- 3:53Speaker 1: she may be in criminal jeopardy. They may be able
- 3:56Speaker 1: to charge her criminally for that and come after her.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Now her defense will be that her hands are tied
- 4:03Speaker 1: by New York's sanctuary laws. Believe it or not, New
- 4:07Speaker 1: York has these crazy sanctuary laws that you're not allowed
- 4:12Speaker 1: to do this, even if it's a dangerous criminal rape,
- 4:14Speaker 1: child pornography, murder, got convicted in jail. You're not allowed
- 4:18Speaker 1: to deport them. You're not allowed to cooperate with Ice.
- 4:21Speaker 1: That's this crazy New York sanctuary law. Now you're saying,
- 4:26Speaker 1: who would sign such a ridiculous, crazy law? Let me see, Oh,
- 4:32Speaker 1: here it is. Andrew Cuomo signed that law. Another horrible
- 4:37Speaker 1: thing Andrew Cuomo did to New York. Nobody did more
- 4:41Speaker 1: damage to New York state. No governor ever did more
- 4:44Speaker 1: damage than Andrew Croomo with his no bail, no jail
- 4:48Speaker 1: with his close the prisons, let the prisoners out, redo
- 4:50Speaker 1: the parole board. And now with this crazy sanctuary law,
- 4:56Speaker 1: seven thousand dangerous murdering, killing illes that cannot be deported
- 5:01Speaker 1: because of the sanctuary law because you're not allowed to
- 5:03Speaker 1: cooperate with thanks to Andrew Cuomo, who's making noise about
- 5:07Speaker 1: running again. So horrible, horrible situation, but it could put
- 5:14Speaker 1: Letitia James in legal jeopardy once again. Also, they can
- 5:17Speaker 1: just go back and charge her again for the mortgage fraud.
- 5:21Speaker 1: The documents are pretty clear on that, so I don't
- 5:26Speaker 1: see how she avoids It's now the only thing Comy
- 5:28Speaker 1: has going for him is there is a statue of limitations.
- 5:32Speaker 1: They might be might be past it. Mom Donnie getting
- 5:36Speaker 1: ready to take over the transition team. Mom Donnie's been
- 5:39Speaker 1: very busy lately with important matters, protesting with the Starbucks baristas.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Now I see the only good thing about Mom Donnie.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Deblasia was bad. You know, a left wing kok socialist,
- 5:51Speaker 1: Mom Donnie, I mean Deblasio too left wing socialist Kouk.
- 5:56Speaker 1: But the good news is he never came to work.
- 5:57Speaker 1: He was more interested in going to Brooklyn every day.
- 6:00Speaker 1: I remember that he'd sit in that coffee shop all day,
- 6:03Speaker 1: and then he'd go to the gym, Chopi City Hall
- 6:05Speaker 1: for an hour, go to sleep, take a nap, go
- 6:07Speaker 1: home mom. Donnie seems to keep himself busy with nonsense.
- 6:12Speaker 1: You know, you're about to take over in New York City,
- 6:16Speaker 1: you'd think you'd be in meetings around the clock trying
- 6:18Speaker 1: to figure out, especially if you're brand new. If you've
- 6:20Speaker 1: been in government before, it's a little easier. But if
- 6:23Speaker 1: you've never been in government running a city or estate,
- 6:29Speaker 1: and you've never had an actual job, you'd think you'd
- 6:31Speaker 1: be studying day and night for what you're about to do.
- 6:33Speaker 1: But he's busy with other little silly things. He's out
- 6:36Speaker 1: there marching for oppressed workers where you say, well, cotton fields,
- 6:45Speaker 1: picking fruit, somewhere in a sweatshop. No Starbucks baristas. He's
- 6:50Speaker 1: out protesting with the Starbucks baristas. He's fighting for them.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Apparently this barista stuff is pretty serious. I don't know
- 7:00Speaker 1: what the issue is, but they're only getting like thirty
- 7:02Speaker 1: dollars an hour. They want thirty five. And then some
- 7:05Speaker 1: of them say it's the scheduling when they are Starbucks barista.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Here's one of them. They do tend to just positively
- 7:15Speaker 1: schedule you right now, we want to fight for fair
- 7:17Speaker 1: consistency and obviously a living working schedule and wage. Yeah,
- 7:22Speaker 1: that's it. They're haphazardly scheduling the baristas. Now, are you
- 7:25Speaker 1: going to Starbucks? You see these baristas. Mostly you can't
- 7:28Speaker 1: stand them because they take forever and they can never
- 7:32Speaker 1: wait on you. They could be six people behind the counter,
- 7:35Speaker 1: but two of them are on the phone, one of
- 7:37Speaker 1: them's changing filters on the machine, another one's busy hauling
- 7:41Speaker 1: a box, or they can't think the way. So nobody
- 7:43Speaker 1: has any sympathy for these baristas and the hap hazard scheduling. Well,
- 7:47Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like the cruelest thing I have ever heard,
- 7:52Speaker 1: But mom Donnie is out there protesting with him here
- 7:54Speaker 1: he is.
- 7:54Speaker 2: The struggle those workers have is that not enough people
- 7:56Speaker 2: know about their fight, not enough people know what they
- 7:59Speaker 2: are being forced to accept. So the more that you
- 8:01Speaker 2: can bring that awareness, the more that you can bring
- 8:03Speaker 2: that attention, the easier it is for workers to demand
- 8:05Speaker 2: the bare minimum. And that is what I will continue
- 8:08Speaker 2: to do as the next mayor of the city.
- 8:10Speaker 1: He is fighting for those baristas. How do you like that. Now,
- 8:12Speaker 1: First of all, this guy's a socialist. This guy's worried
- 8:16Speaker 1: about affordability. You're at a place where they charge fourteen dollars
- 8:20Speaker 1: for a cup of coffee. You should be mad at
- 8:22Speaker 1: all of them, these baristas. You want affordability, get rid
- 8:27Speaker 1: of Starbucks. First of all, don't go to Starbucks anywhere.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Duncan Downut's much better coffee. Also, I know they don't
- 8:32Speaker 1: have a foam pumpkin termasous flavored lot. Okay, but they
- 8:37Speaker 1: got better coffee. Just get a regular cup of coffee
- 8:40Speaker 1: and go to work. And then you got all these
- 8:42Speaker 1: local ones. Now there's like a hundred of these. You know,
- 8:45Speaker 1: there's another chain called Gregory's. Gregory's. It's a guy from Granwich, Connecticut.
- 8:51Speaker 1: He started it there and now they're opening all over
- 8:52Speaker 1: the place, much better than Starbucks. And what's that one
- 8:55Speaker 1: over there, Blue Pointers whatever it's called tur across the street.
- 8:59Speaker 1: There's a bunch of those Blank Street. There's a whole
- 9:01Speaker 1: much better. Stay the hell out of Starbucks. And if
- 9:05Speaker 1: you're a socialist, what are you having anything to do
- 9:07Speaker 1: with a place that charges twenty seven dollars for coffee? So,
- 9:11Speaker 1: but Mam Donnie's fighting for them.
- 9:13Speaker 2: These are not demands of greed. These are demands for decency.
- 9:18Speaker 1: I don't know if it's forty dollars for a cup
- 9:20Speaker 1: of coffee. Who's robbin? Who there? Do you hear about
- 9:23Speaker 1: this clothing store and soho that got robbed. It's not
- 9:25Speaker 1: a regular clothing store. It's a special second hand clothing
- 9:29Speaker 1: store's it doesn't even have a storefront. It's up on
- 9:32Speaker 1: the second floor of an office building. And people like
- 9:36Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton and all these rappers go
- 9:38Speaker 1: there because they have the most one of a kind
- 9:42Speaker 1: pieces in the world. A lot of them are vintage,
- 9:44Speaker 1: but not regular vintage. They were worn by some celebrity.
- 9:47Speaker 1: So they have these very special blue jeans that are
- 9:50Speaker 1: very special, different, unique with the stuff all over them
- 9:53Speaker 1: in stones. And so the guy was showing this pair
- 9:57Speaker 1: of blue jeans is worth fifty thousand. This pair of
- 10:00Speaker 1: blue jeans is seventy five thousand. I'm not kidding. So
- 10:05Speaker 1: it got robbed last night. Thieves broke in and you
- 10:09Speaker 1: can see the surveillance video. They I guess there was
- 10:13Speaker 1: a fire escape or something. They got up the fire
- 10:15Speaker 1: escape and they broke through the second story window with big,
- 10:18Speaker 1: hefty trash bags and they just kept throwing all the
- 10:20Speaker 1: clothes in these trash bags. Then they go to the
- 10:22Speaker 1: window and throw the bags down to the street where
- 10:25Speaker 1: a guy would pick them up, throw them in the
- 10:27Speaker 1: van that they had waiting, and eventually they got like
- 10:29Speaker 1: ten trash bags full of clothes and drove off. But
- 10:32Speaker 1: it was worth two million dollars. So the owners on
- 10:36Speaker 1: TV talking about he got robbed and what a robbery.
- 10:40Speaker 1: But then he's showing the stuff. He has seventy five
- 10:42Speaker 1: thousand for a pair of jeans. This guy should be
- 10:45Speaker 1: arrested for robbery. Who the hell's robbing? Who's seventy five
- 10:48Speaker 1: thousand for a pair of jeans? But that's so that's
- 10:53Speaker 1: what goes on. And Mom, Donnie, he hasn't said a
- 10:58Speaker 1: word about the casinos. That's a good sign though, that
- 11:01Speaker 1: means they've probably gotten to him. You know, one thing
- 11:03Speaker 1: about these big, big, big business guys, these big real
- 11:06Speaker 1: estate guys, they whine and complain, but they know how
- 11:09Speaker 1: to get to a new mayor really really fast, and
- 11:15Speaker 1: they're pretty good at that. So you never know the
- 11:18Speaker 1: same thing happened to Blaso. It was bad, but we
- 11:20Speaker 1: got through it just fine. You'll probably get through mom
- 11:22Speaker 1: Downey just fine. Hey, so we're talking about Mark Kelly
- 11:27Speaker 1: and the sinking the drug cartel boats Venezuela. Now they're
- 11:33Speaker 1: going to hold hearings in Congress and go after this.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Mark Kelly thinks he'll be like Tom Cruise in these
- 11:41Speaker 1: hearings and that you know, the general who did the
- 11:45Speaker 1: bombing of these boats is going to be like Jack Nicholson,
- 11:48Speaker 1: and Democrats feel like they'll be Tom Cruise, going did
- 11:50Speaker 1: you order the code red? And that the guy will
- 11:53Speaker 1: just blow up and go You're damn right, I did.
- 11:56Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. Nothing dramatic is going to happen.
- 11:58Speaker 1: President Trump on all this.
- 12:00Speaker 3: We consider of Venezuela to be not a very friendly country.
- 12:02Speaker 3: They send millions of people, really, and probably a number
- 12:07Speaker 3: in excess of that, and a lot of those people
- 12:10Speaker 3: shouldn't be in our country, from jails, from gangs, from
- 12:14Speaker 3: drug dealers, from all of the people that came into
- 12:16Speaker 3: our country shouldn't have been in our country. Closing a
- 12:19Speaker 3: lot of problem.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Does your warning need that an airstrike is eminent? Or
- 12:23Speaker 2: should we not read it that way?
- 12:24Speaker 3: You don't read anything into it.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Yeah. Now the reason for this. You got to remember,
- 12:30Speaker 1: if you were going to go after the drug cartels,
- 12:32Speaker 1: you would do it at the border. You would try
- 12:34Speaker 1: to get them coming across the border. Well, the border's
- 12:37Speaker 1: closed now, it's been closed all year. There's no coming
- 12:39Speaker 1: across the border. So they've switched to the sea. They're
- 12:43Speaker 1: doing it by boat. So that's why you got to
- 12:46Speaker 1: go after him here. The border's gone. They've eliminated that.
- 12:49Speaker 1: So now they're going after the drug cartels exactly the
- 12:52Speaker 1: same as everybody else did, only now they're using the sea,
- 12:54Speaker 1: and that's where you got to go after them. So
- 12:58Speaker 1: it'll continue, and it's a good thing. Democrats. We'll go
- 13:00Speaker 1: nuts defending these cartel dealers, which will eventually backfire on them.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Of course, Hey, Matt Lower looking to make a comeback.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Apparently Matt Lower has been talking to people he wants
- 13:12Speaker 1: back in. He's like like Richie Apriol, you know when
- 13:19Speaker 1: he got out of jail, tone, I want back in,
- 13:21Speaker 1: I want to get back my I want to get
- 13:22Speaker 1: my action back on my sha. So but the problem
- 13:26Speaker 1: is Matt Lower total outcast. And you know, he was
- 13:30Speaker 1: never that great. It's not like he had a lot
- 13:32Speaker 1: to say. I mean, a nice looking guy. He had
- 13:35Speaker 1: a nice charming way about him. A good looking guy.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Although now he's older, and although I saw him recently,
- 13:42Speaker 1: looks good. He looks good, always wears a great suit.
- 13:45Speaker 1: But I think they're way past Matt Lawer Today's show wise.
- 13:49Speaker 1: First of all, they don't pay that kind of money anymore.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Very few people watch network TV anymore. And it's a
- 13:55Speaker 1: whole new generation, you know. Now it's Jenna hager Bush,
- 13:58Speaker 1: whatever the hell her name is. But he wants back in,
- 14:01Speaker 1: and he kind of in what he was saying, sort
- 14:04Speaker 1: of hinted he knows maybe he'll never get back on
- 14:06Speaker 1: network television. Maybe he's just damaged goods and he can't
- 14:10Speaker 1: get back on. So he said, I'd like to get
- 14:13Speaker 1: back on the media, get to the media in some
- 14:15Speaker 1: he said, if not TV, in some capacity. So that's
- 14:21Speaker 1: him acknowledging he might not be able to get a
- 14:23Speaker 1: TV job. I don't know, has enough time passed, you know,
- 14:27Speaker 1: like Lewis c K seems to be okay again, Kevin
- 14:30Speaker 1: Spacey seems to be okay again. You can start putting
- 14:33Speaker 1: these guys back. I don't know, And if it's not
- 14:38Speaker 1: if not TV, what does that mean? Does that mean
- 14:40Speaker 1: he'll end up like those idiots Jim Acosta, Don Lemon
- 14:44Speaker 1: doing a podcast from at home from their living room
- 14:48Speaker 1: with the glasses on, doing the podcast from home, split
- 14:53Speaker 1: screen zoom podcast. I don't know.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Now.
- 14:58Speaker 1: The problem is a lot of these people do these
- 15:00Speaker 1: They got nothing to say. You know, if you just
- 15:02Speaker 1: said to Sean Hannity, all the guests canceled on the
- 15:06Speaker 1: TV show. If you said to Sean Hannity, there's no guests,
- 15:08Speaker 1: they all canceled, you'll have to talk for a half hour.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Well he could do that without blinking. He could entertain
- 15:14Speaker 1: you for a half hour, telling stories, talk and going
- 15:16Speaker 1: over the new He does it on the radio for
- 15:18Speaker 1: three hours, no problem. He could fill in a half
- 15:21Speaker 1: hour without blinking. It would be interesting, funny. But if
- 15:26Speaker 1: you're Don Lemon or you're Matt Lower, you've never had
- 15:28Speaker 1: a talk in your life, You've never done a show.
- 15:30Speaker 1: All you do is read a teleprompter or interview people
- 15:34Speaker 1: as a reporter. So that's all it's When they do
- 15:37Speaker 1: these podcasts, they have to have a guest. Every second
- 15:39Speaker 1: there has to be a guest. You never see him
- 15:41Speaker 1: just alone talking in the camera for a half hour
- 15:43Speaker 1: because they would have no clue how to do it.
- 15:45Speaker 1: I think Matt Lower has the same problem, so he'd
- 15:47Speaker 1: have to do guests because I mean, he could talk
- 15:50Speaker 1: for thirty seconds, but that's about it and then you'd
- 15:52Speaker 1: fall asleep. But he'd have to have guests. So who's
- 15:54Speaker 1: going to do the Matt Lower Podcast? Well, you know
- 15:59Speaker 1: who The first app is. Sod'll be Al Roker will
- 16:01Speaker 1: be the first guest. Second guest will be Katie Couric.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Who else would do it with Matt Lauer. I don't know. Oh,
- 16:09Speaker 1: Brian Gumbel. He'll get Brian gumble there's friends anyway, we'll
- 16:13Speaker 1: take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two
- 16:15Speaker 1: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
- 16:19Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten
