• 0:17

• 0:20
  Speaker 3: the Grammy Awards last night. We'll get to the Epstein files.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: We'll get to Don Lemon, We'll get to Mom Donnie,
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: We'll get to Andrew Cuomo and a whole lot more
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: coming up. So where do we even start? Groundhog Day?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Punks at Tony Phil came out and said, six more
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: weeks of winter. Now, let me make you feel better,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: punks Atoni. Phil is always wrong. It's the stupidest phenomenon
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: in America, the dumbest day of the year. Paying attention
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: to this little rodent his batting average. He's been right
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: thirty five percent of the time. Thirty five percent of
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the time, which means sixty five percent of the time
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: he's wrong, So don't take him seriously. The good news
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: is there's only seven weeks left until spring begins. Seven weeks.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: In fact, next week spring training starts, pitchers and catchers
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and all of that so you just got seven more
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: weeks of this. It's going to be a little warmer
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: this week, but still freezing. If you haven't been into Manhattan,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: it looks good. The sidewalks are pretty clear, but there
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: is garbage piled up everywhere, massive piles of garbage on
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: the street. They haven't been collecting it for I don't know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: all kinds of reasons, something to do with the snow.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Good news is I guess if it's absolutely frozen, the
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: garbage won't smell, won't cause any problems. So hey, the
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Milania documentary, by the way, was released. The Milania documentary
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: was released on Friday, and you read all the left
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: wing writers telling you how it is a complete bomb,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: it wasn't going to do well. Pre ticket sales, that
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: everything was awful. Well, it turned out to be a
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: record weekend for a documentary, about eight million the first weekend,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: which is huge. No documentary in the last decade or
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: two has done that well. So it was a huge,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: huge hit. It's open, it's in theaters, go see it
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: if you want. Don Lemon arrested for invading and terrorizing
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and going into that church and stopping and disrupting the
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: service in there. It's not just Don Lemon, by the way,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: They've arrested a number of people in that mob. In fact,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: just moments ago another two or three were arrested. And
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: it's against the law. You cannot go into a church
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and try to disrupt the service. There's specific laws about that.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: You cannot go into a church and try to intimidate
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: the people worshiping the service, or you cannot do anything
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: to disrupt it. The law actually came about because the
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: klu Klux Klan. That was something they did, going into
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: black churches and stopping the service and intimidating everybody in there.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: It's a specific crime. You can go to jail for it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Don Lemon has been arrested for it. Many people have
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: been arrested for it if you read the indictment. Because
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: the argument from Lemon will be I'm a journalist, I
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: was covering it. I'm just a journalist. Wow. There's a
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: couple of arguments there. One is he actually a journalist.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I you even consider him a journalist.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: As Charlie Gasperino points out, this guy has never ever, ever,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: ever come out with any kind of story. He In fact,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the record shows he was a horror. If he was
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: a journalist, he was a horrible journalist, never broke a
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: news story in his life. It was basically a talk
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: show host on CNN, an anchor. I don't know if
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: you call him a journalist. He was a disaster at CNN,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: so much so that they fired him. I don't know
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: if you call that a journalist. But the other thing
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: is you can't. It's one thing if you go in
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: there with your microphone and camera covering it, if you
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: do anything to stop the service or intimidate anybody in there,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: you're a criminal. So in the court filing, it says
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: at one point, defendant Lemon posted himself at the main
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: door of the church, confronted congregants and physically obstructed them
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: as they tried to exit the church building to challenge
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: them with facts about US immigration policy. The pastor repeatedly
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: asked Lemon to leave the church. So that's where the
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: crime will be. Now, Remember it wasn't Donald Trump's decision
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: to indict him. It wasn't anybody in the Justice Department.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, they certainly wanted to, but the first judge
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: tossed it out, so they sent it to a grand jury.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: It was the grand jury that made the decision. They
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: voted after looking at the evidence, they voted to indict
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Don Lemon. Now, if you go to my Twitter, you'll
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: see some video from a couple of years ago. It's
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: two left wing, really biased left wing types of was,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Elizabeth Warren and Gail King, and they're saying, you have
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: to respect the process. If a grand jury votes to indict,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: you must respect that process. They were talking about Trump
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: at the time, but that video is going to backfire
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: on them. So now, hey, the other question some people
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: are wondering, well, why were they going to this church.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: The church doesn't set immigration policy. What does the church
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: have to do with it? Well, the reason they went
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: in there that church. The pastor of the church, David Easterwood,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: also serves as acting director for ICE in the Saint
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Paul Field office. You know it's Minneapolis Saint Paul. So
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the acting director of the ICE office in Saint Paul
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: is also the pastor of the church. That's why they
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: targeted him. That's the reason that ICE officers wear masks.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Once you identify these people, the mob will go terrorize
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: their family, their children at their house. They'll chase them
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: down everywhere. So Hey, by the way, Don Lemon will
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight. The only reason this might
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: have been a horrible backfire is even Donald Trump said it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: He may actually end up reviving the career of Don Lemon.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Don Lemon, disgraced, fired, couldn't get a job for the
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: last few years, totally out of work. Nobody would hire him.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: This could put him back on the map. Lemon is
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: all over the place. He'll be on Kimmel tonight. Here's Lemon.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yesterday, the DOJ sent a team of federal agents to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: arrest me in the middle of the night for something
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that I'd been doing for the last thirty years, and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that is covering the news. The First Amendment of the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Constitution protects that work for me and for countless of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: other journalists.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why they never bothered. Never in thirty years
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: did they bother you till you went in and tried
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: to stop that church service and stop people from coming
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: or going.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Last night, the DOJ sent a team of federal agents
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to arrest me in the middle of the night for
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: something that I'd been doing for the last thirty years,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and that is covering the news.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Hey, doesn't it sound like the same clip I just played?
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Why is it on here with a different label? All right,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: here's another eleven.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: There is no more important time than right now, this
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: very moment for a free and independent media that shines
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a light on the truth and holds those in power accountable.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Again, I will not stop now. I will not stop ever.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Oh thank God. Well, talk about free and independent. There
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: you go. I mean, he's unpaid, he's doing it from
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: home in his pajamas. Doesn't work for anybody. It's just
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: a homemade podcast, all right. I guess that's free and independent.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: The Grammy Awards last night. I you know, if there's
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: one place where d EI is not welcome, there's no DEI,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: there's no diversity. It's the Grammy Awards. There's no diversity
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: allowed there. You must think what they think, you must
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: believe what they believe. You have to hate Trump or
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: there is no place for you in the Grammy Awards.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: You must be totally woke left wing. Now. Trevor Noah
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: is the host of the Grammy Awards getting a lot
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: of complaints, by the way, a lot of people complaining
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: about this. The Grammy Awards are supposed to be about
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: music and fun and entertainment. They're not supposed to be political.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: This guy turns it into Morning Joe. It's like just
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: bad politics. Here's Trevor Noah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: That is a Grammy that every artist wants, almost as
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense. I mean,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: because Epstein's Island is gone. He needs a new one
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: to hang out with Bill Clinton. So oh, I told
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you it's my last year. What are you going to
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: do about it?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Ah? He jokes about Trump going to Epstein Island. Well
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: that got a huge laugh. However, Donald Trump has just
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: announced he will sue Trevor Noah. His attorneys are about
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: to go after Trevor Noah. He's going to have a
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: hell of a loss a Trump has never been anywhere
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: near Epstein Island, never had anything to do with Epstein
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: after his very early days, no connection Epstein Island. Trevor
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Noah is going to have a very tough time defending
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: that lawsuit. So that's gonna he's gonna have a real
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: problem with that. Then, of course he went after Nicki Minaj,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: a big, big Trump supporter, declared herself a huge Trump supporter,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: So of course the Grammys where diversity is not allowed.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: There's no dei, no diversity. He goes after, goes after her.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj is not here. She is not here.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: She is she is still at the White House with
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump discussing very important issues at chally.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Nikki, I have the biggest I haven't. Everybody's saying it, Nikki.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I know they say to you.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: But it's me.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you go. It's a Trevor Noah or is he'll
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: be known in the next few months the defendant Trevor
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Noah about to get sued by Donald Trump. This will
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: be a very interesting, interesting lawsuit. So U, speaking of Epstein,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: three three million pages released, three million pages. You know
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: it took to go through. They got to read all
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: three million pages, check them, remove things. Who's the big
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: loser out of this, Prince Andrew because it really looks
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: bad for him. There's all kinds of pictures of him
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: on his hands and knees over a woman doing all
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: kinds of creepy, weird things with this young woman, Very
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: very very bad these pictures. Now, the problem is the
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: first thing they do with the New York Times or
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: anywhere when it's how you cat you read three million
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: pages well, there's software that can read it for you,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: and you can type in keywords. So at the New
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: York Times, all the media, Chris first thing he typed
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: was Trump. There out came three thousand mentions of Trump.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Three thousand, nothing significant, nothing. Now. Somewhere in this thing
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: is a bunch of witness testimony. One witness yelling about
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Trump committed forced her to commit a oral sect since
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: she's under age. Investigators never believed this testimony. There's tons
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: and tons and tons of witness testimony in this process.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: It was tossed out. It was just not credible, not believable.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Remember the one she went after, Alan Dershwitz said he
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: was part of this was a Goufray, Jewfray, whatever her
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: name was. And there were pretty serious allegations. But it
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: turned out she was lying. They proved she was lying.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: She finally confessed that she was lying. So a lot
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: of that witness testimony is worthless. But who got hurt
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: by the release this weekend? A guy named Casey Wasserman.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Lou Washerman was the most powerful man in Hollywood. Lou
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Wasserman ran Hollywood for forty fifty years. This is his grandson,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Casey Wasserman, who's a big deal in LA, big producer.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: He was the head of the Olympics in LA. Turns
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: out he was writing all these emails back and forth
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: with Gallaine Maxwell about various women. He was married at
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: the time. But apparently that's one thing about Epstein. It
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: wasn't young girls. It was any kind of win. He'd
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: fix up with women left and right, so with Glaine.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: So this Casey Wassman was involved in that the wife
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: eventually left him. Giants co owner Steve Tish going back
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: and forth with Epstein and the emails he was and
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: he's pointed out he never actually took Epstein up on anything,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: never actually went and did anything, but he was just
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: emailing him back and forth about women. If he went
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: to an Epstein party, there were lots of women around.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not talking about underage girls. They were
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: lurking around there, but it was mostly just good looking
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: women all over the place. So Giants co owner Steve
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Tish would email back and forth with Epstein about some
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: of the women. He would get what they called scouting reports.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: There's one where he asks is that about the woman?
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Is she a pro or a civilian? Is she a
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: working girl, that kind of stuff. Elon Musk is in there,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Epstein emailing back and forth with him about visiting the island. Now, Musk,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I think is okay. Here. He was down there somewhere
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: in the bomb somewhere near the island, and Epstein kept
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: inviting him to come over, and then at one point
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: he emailed, what night will be the wildest party? But
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think he meant anything boy it because he
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: he mentioned coming with his girlfriend. So that sounds pretty
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: honest and it Musk says he never actually went. Bill Gates. Well,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: there's emails in there alleging that Bill Gates was at
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Epstein's house for many, many, many, many many many hours
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: into the night, and obviously lots of women there, not underagent,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: lots of women. But there's emails saying he needed help
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: getting some drugs to get rid of courting. These emails
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: a STD a sexually transmitted disease he got from a
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Russian girl. There. You see this Gates is not good
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: with viruses. That's one thing about Windows. It's got viruses. Apple,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: you never have to worry about a virus. Windows. You
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: got to have anti virus software. This guy, wherever he
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: goes gets a virus. Who else Howard Lutnick, the Commerce
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: secretary who said he'd cut off Epstein in two thousand
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: and twelve. It looks like there's emails back and forth
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: after that, but it doesn't look like anything with Howard
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Lutnon except going to lunch or something that's about it,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: and a newly in this release all of Epstein's campaign donations,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: and it looks like for about thirty years he gave
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: ninety percent of his money to Democrats. He was a
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: big Chuck Schumer donor, Bill Clinton donor, Hillary Clinton donor.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Oh you know else is in there. Reid Hoffman. Reid Hoffman,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: the tech billionaire, the big anti Trump guy who funds
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: all kinds of anti Trump stuff. Hay's in there, all
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: tangled up with stuff. And Michael Wolf. You know, this
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: little wormy guy. He's a worm with the big glasses on. Weirdo,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: wormy little guy, big Trump hater. He writes these books
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: all about terrible things about Trump. None of them are true.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: They're the most ridiculous books. Nobody believes them except the
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Left will use him. They'll put him on Meet the Press,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: this little gossipy tabloid idiots on Meet the Press George
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Stephanopolis and I'll let him spew all of his nonsense.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: If you go Instagram watch his videos every day. There's
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: a video of him in his house telling you incredible
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: stories about the horrifying, evil things that Trump does. None
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: of them are true, but they're very funny videos to watch.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: So apparently he was very close to Epstein, really close
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: to Epstein and plotting with Epstein on how to get
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Trump impeached, how to destroy Trump's reputation. Wolf and Epstein.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: It's in writing in these emails. Now Trump has announced
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: he will sue Michael Wolf, so watch for that. That
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: could be a big, big lawsuit.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Wolf was a third grade writer, was conspiring with Jeffrey.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Epstein to hurt me politically or otherwise. And that came
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: through loud and clear. So we'll probably sue Wolf. Yeah,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: now that could be interesting loss. But again that's the
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: problem that Don Lemon. So you're gonna make Don Lemon
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: back into a successful celebrity again. Okay, Well that's the
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: price you pay, and it could make Wolf even bigger.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: But it's worth doing. You got you gotta do the
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: right thing. Hey, Well, take some calls in a minute
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: eight hundred three two one. The zero seven ten is
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the number eight hundred three two one, zero seven ten
