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