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

• 20:10
  Speaker 3: paid back the bank loans, and they declared a new
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: bond program, Big Max Municipal Assistance Corporation, high interest BOMDS,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: bonds paid bought by the public, paid back and solve
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: the problem.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's a good point. You know, when the
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: city was in financial crisis. They're about to go bankrupt.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: What you're supposed to do? The mayor and others, they
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: turned to the great business minds, the great financial geniuses
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Felix Royatan and others. Rockefeller got involved. But you know,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: you're in the middle of New York. You've got the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: greatest financial geniuses in the world at work here that
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: can save anything, save corporations, save you. Turn to them,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: you go see them, call them and they'll help you.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: They'll help you. You know, you call all of our
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: top financial minds that right here in New York, they
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: will be They'll come right down the city Hall, meet
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: with you. They will help you. But if your mom Donnie,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: and you're an angry little socialist, you don't know how
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: to do that. Even when it comes to police stuff,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: if you called the greatest police geniuses in the world
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: you've called Ray Kelly, I guarantee any would he'd be
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: happy to help you. That's the kind of people there.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Anybody are great police leaders. But if you called them
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: and said, hey, could you come down, could you consult
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: us help? Yeah, I'd be happy to You've got access
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: to all this genius and they're so bitter and nasty,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: these crazy left wingers, they could never do it. Let's
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: go to Carissa and Queens. How you doing okay?
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: How are you Mark?
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: I'm good good.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: It's been a while since I talked to you that
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: I remember. But when Mom Danny was running, the first
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: thing I said was that this was going to be
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: a total disaster.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Really, everybody thought he was going to be wonderful. You
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: thought you knew he'd be bad. Huh.
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: And I'll make another prediction along the line that Curtis
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: made about Adams. I believe he's gonna have to be
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: removed from office. I don't think he's gonna be able
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: to fity till four your term.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Well, you know that's a good point, that's an excellent point.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: You know, the governor has the power to remove him.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Hochel is such a coward and so busy catering to
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: the left. But very very very good chance Bruce Blakeman
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: will be the governor a year from now, and as
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: governor he can remove Mom. Donnie. You know, if the
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: actually Bruce Blakeman will be with us tomorrow, maybe lasking me.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: There's all kinds of complicated law about New York. If
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: the budget goes crazy. If New York goes into total
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: fiscal disaster, the governor can step in and take control
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: of our budget, and he'll do what he did in
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Long Island, which is cut costs, get rid of the waist,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: the fraud, the bloats, straighten everything out. So but anyway,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to today. We'll take
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: some more calls a little later. When we come back.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Liz Peak will be with us next. The brilliant columnist
• 22:59

• 23:31
  Speaker 9: I'm terrific, so much better for being with you.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Mark. Well, thanks. I think everyone's a little shocked. I
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: wake up this morning find out Prince Andrew has been arrested.
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: But you know, it's it's interesting. I mean, I'm sure
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: you know it's not because he may have had sexual
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: relations with underage girls. It's really because he may have
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: passed secrets to Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, I think, you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: I think the underlying story, what we're gonna hear more
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: and more or maybe come out from the Jeffrey Epstein
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: revelations is that the guy was a master blackmailer and he,
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: you know, got people like Prince Andrew and who knows
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: who else into compromising situations and then took advantage of that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: You know that we've not really ever heard the explanation
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: for Leon Black paying him tens of millions of dollars.
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: I'm sure there are other people who are going to
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: be implicated in the same way. But what a horrible
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: thing for the Royal family.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I must.
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: Say, you know, they've had their share of pretty tough
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: hits in the last couple of years, with Kate Middleton
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: having cancer and Charles having cancer, and now this is
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: supreme embarrassment.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: You know, I have to.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Say, my heart goes out to the family.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I got to disagree, a little le Royal family. They
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: got more nonsense going on through these remember Fergie and
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: all that stuff, and well that was Prince Andrew's their wife,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: but it was there's always some embarrassing stuff with that
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: royal family, not as bad as this, but no.
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: This is this is pretty terrible. And you know, I
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: think what's sort of tragic is that, you know, Queen
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: Elizabeth to me was a really outstanding, steady, tough person,
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: no question, but you have to be pretty tough in
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: her in her life, I think, and you know it's
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: for next generation problems, right, I mean, I think Charles
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: is sort of a fool, uh and not a very
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: well respected person. So then you go to the next
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: generation and they've just had you know, I mean, to
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: have Kate get Ill and all of that. It's just
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: I think it's been a pretty tough couple of years.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: But anyway, this is a whole new chapter and pretty disgraceful.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Obviously.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I also i'd never thought I still don't buy
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: that Epstein was such a blackmailer. He had a way
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: of just luring these guys in with all kinds of uh,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: you know, it wasn't just the women. If you I've
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: been reading the file so carefully. He dangles celebrities in
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: front of them, set up dinners with Woody Allen and
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: this person and that person, and you know, you know,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: those guys are as starstruck as anybody in fall for that.
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: Sence that master manipulator. On the other hand, if you're
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: Prince Andrew and you have that there are pictures of
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: you with these underage girls pretty much they'll do anything
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: he wants you to.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, hey, State of the Union addresses coming up Tuesday.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: As I said before, it's always an opportunity for Democrats
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: to totally embarrass themselves. And yeah, now they're talking about
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: having their own State of the Union somewhere else. Isn't
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: that going to backfire on them?
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: What I almost tweeted about this and then I couldn't
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: really figure out how to, you know, make it interesting.
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: But they're calling their performance and honestly, when did Democrats
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: become the performance party? But that's kind of what they've
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: evolved into. They have no policies they want to talk about.
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: All they do is hate Trump and then sort of
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: showcase that hatred with endless still a buster speeches, et cetera,
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: et cetera. And that course, here's the newest one, which
• 27:04
  Speaker 9: is a state of the Union for the people. Okay, Well,
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: their biggest complaint about Donald Trump is as a populist.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: What does that mean?
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: Mark, That means he's of the people, right, So, when
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: you have a president elected by a majority of voters,
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: this is no longer a fringe candidate. This is no
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: longer someone who doesn't represent the will of the people.
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: He clearly does. And so I think for that, you know, look,
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: I think the Republicans have lost some important contests recently,
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: some elections have gone the wrong way. Obviously, the country
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: in the midterms, as usual, is ready to sort of
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: voice some discontent with what's going on. But the reality is,
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: this guy, Donald Trump is getting stuff done. He is
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: fixing what's broken in the government. A lot of people
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: are applauding that. So I think just your case on
• 28:01
  Speaker 9: how vile the president is is pretty weak gruel, and
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: I just cannot imagine that in the midterms people are
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: going to turn out step. The risk to the GOP
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: is that Trump voters just are not reliable voters. But
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: then a lot of the Democratic Coalition isn't reliable either.
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: Young people don't always vote in the midterms, and minorities
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: don't always vote in the midterms, so we'll see what happens.
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: But the more that they embarrass themselves by acting out
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: by the way, Hakim Jeffries, the minority leader, has asked
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: Democrats not to do this because I think he's aware
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: that it just embarrasses them.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the President's done a great job foreign policy economies,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: but Democrats create this fake narrative, this affordability crisis. So
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: isn't this a big opportunity for him to just the
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: whole public will be watching and he can lay out
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: the actual facts and inflation way, Yes, So won't that
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: change everything?
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: Well, I don't know if it'll change everything, because of
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: course you'll have commentators immediately fact checking everything he says.
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: But if he sticks to the facts, mark, yes, if
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: he claims growth, we're you know, if he claims that
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: we're striving for fifteen percent growth.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: No, that's not going to work.
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: But we don't need to make up exaggerated numbers. We
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: don't need to talk about stuff that's not real because
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: the story right now is extremely persuasive. And I must say,
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: the Fed minutes are just really sort of make my
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: head hurt. Because Bloomberg did a piece this morning on
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: the FED notes that were made public yesterday, and it's like, well,
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: they may have to raise rates because of inflation, you know,
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: not being where they wanted to be. Inflation numbers just
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: recently were extremely good, very beneficial, two point four percent.
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: It is coming down. A lot of people think that
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: actual inflation right now is closer to one if you
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: stop measuring rent and household expenditures in a sort of
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: mixed up way. It's the numbers on inflation are actually
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: pretty good. Are they good enough? Maybe not, but you're
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: not You're certainly not about to embark on a rate
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: hiking cycle. But I mean, it's such a typical Bloomberg
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: or MSNBC or whatever description. Just make it sound as
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: bad as it possibly can be. So to your point,
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: Donald Trump has an opportunity on Tuesday night to talk
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: to the American people about what's happening in our economy.
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: We have an investment boom. Housing starts are up. Affordability
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: on housing, by the way, is getting better because mortgage
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: rates have come down. I mean, there is a whole
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: slew of positive developments that have come out just even
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: in the.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Last few weeks.
• 30:57
  Speaker 9: And here's another thing I talked about this on area yesterday,
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: a couple of times aoc An inner terrible appearance in Munich,
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: and then the explanation afterwards talks about the central thing
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: that Democrats want to impress upon the American people, the
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: fact that income inequality is so terrible and the richer
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: getting richer and blah blah blah, it is not true.
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: The Economist, a very left wing magazine, devoted an entire
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: cover story this week to the fact that actually, because
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: of progressive taxes such as we have here in the
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: United States, income inequality has been going down, not only
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: in the US but also in Europe. So their whole
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: narrative is wrong. It's wrong. They're wrong on marijuana, they're
• 31:43
  Speaker 9: wrong on gender surgeries, and they're wrong on economic inequality,
• 31:49
  Speaker 9: and you know, they'll never admit it, but the truth
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: is they're wrong. And so, you know, I think that
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: bleeds into reasonable and wise critiques of people like mom Donnie,
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: who's trying to force all this tax hikes and stuff
• 32:05
  Speaker 9: down the ridge because of income inequality, wealth and equality
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: and stuff, and people rightly are putting back, pushing back
• 32:12
