Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark Simone Show on seven ten wo.
0:11
Speaker 3: Well, it's only one week until daylight Saving time. It's
0:15
Speaker 3: only three weeks until spring begins, where through the winter
0:19
Speaker 3: it's gonna be warm all weekend. It might be a
0:21
Speaker 3: little little little light wet snow on Sunday. That's about it.
0:26
Speaker 3: Lots to get to today. We'll get to the Epstein
0:28
Speaker 3: hearings and Hillary Bill testifies. Today, we'll get to President
0:31
Speaker 3: Trump and the meeting with Mom Donnie that if nobody
0:34
Speaker 3: could figure out why they kept it so secret, it
0:36
Speaker 3: was this top secret meeting. We'll we'll get to the
0:40
Speaker 3: Snowball fight, We'll get to Netflix is gonna bow out,
0:45
Speaker 3: and Paramount's gonna get Warner Brothers Discovery. We've had lots
0:48
Speaker 3: to get to today, So yeah, President Trump. Every day
0:54
Speaker 3: we get the schedule or the night before we get
0:57
Speaker 3: the President's schedule usually comes out o'clock at night, and
1:01
Speaker 3: for yesterday, the schedule had all these things, and at
1:05
Speaker 3: three o'clock it said the President participates in a private meeting.
1:09
Speaker 3: Now that's unusual. Usually it says what the meeting is
1:12
Speaker 3: or who the meeting is with. But at three o'clock.
1:14
Speaker 3: It just said the President participates in a private meeting. Now,
1:21
Speaker 3: the Mom Donnie schedule which comes out, didn't say he
1:26
Speaker 3: was going to Washington. It didn't say it just said, well,
1:30
Speaker 3: it just kind of was mysterious. There was I don't
1:33
Speaker 3: know why they kept us quiet. They didn't want anybody
1:35
Speaker 3: to know about it. Now, even within the government, they
1:39
Speaker 3: didn't know he was heading to Washington. He got on
1:42
Speaker 3: a plane and flew down there late morning and took
1:46
Speaker 3: one guy with him. Let me, he took his police
1:48
Speaker 3: detail and everything, but one guy, Morris Katz, who has
1:51
Speaker 3: no actual formal role in city Hall. But they got
1:54
Speaker 3: on a Delta Airlines plane they flew down there. Now
1:57
Speaker 3: they're saying that he was really there to help with
2:01
Speaker 3: a proposed bill by Elizabeth Warren that would curb Wall
2:05
Speaker 3: Street's ability to buy housing. All right, that's the excuse
2:08
Speaker 3: to go down there. But they kept it secret, this
2:10
Speaker 3: meeting with President Trump. And then he showed up in
2:13
Speaker 3: the Oval Office and met with President Trump. And we
2:18
Speaker 3: don't know the contents of the whole meeting. We only
2:21
Speaker 3: know about ten percent, which was it was an exchange
2:25
Speaker 3: two things Mom Donnie wanted to get somebody who'd been
2:30
Speaker 3: arrested by ice. Columbia University student had been detained and
2:35
Speaker 3: arrested by ICE. Visa was no good. Her visa had
2:39
Speaker 3: been revoked, actually had been revoked by Barack Obama, who
2:43
Speaker 3: declared that she was here illegally, and the ICE finally
2:48
Speaker 3: caught up with her and she was arrested and detained.
2:50
Speaker 3: So Mam Donnie wanted her released. The President was able
2:55
Speaker 3: to pick up the phone and just get it done
2:57
Speaker 3: like that, she was released. The other thing is, Mom
3:00
Speaker 3: Donnie wants to apparently he's really serious about housing. He
3:04
Speaker 3: wants to build some kind of housing. And there's a
3:07
Speaker 3: location in Queens where you'd like to build a big
3:09
Speaker 3: housing project. Now, would you live in a house built
3:12
Speaker 3: by Zorn, Mam Donnie, could you imagine that everything would
3:16
Speaker 3: be crooked, broken, faulty? But Donald Trump, would you like
3:20
Speaker 3: to live in a Trump building? They're very well built.
3:22
Speaker 3: He's one of the greatest builders in the world. So
3:26
Speaker 3: he'd like the President Trump to get involved in it.
3:28
Speaker 3: He was looking for money. He first started off about
3:31
Speaker 3: five billion. I remember, if you're the president of the
3:33
Speaker 3: United States, five billion is like nothing. It's like twelve bucks.
3:37
Speaker 3: You can just you find it in the sofa cushion.
3:41
Speaker 3: It's nothing, it's nothing. So he agreed to give him
3:45
Speaker 3: the five billion. Now I imagine he also wanted President
3:47
Speaker 3: Trump's help in building the thing correctly, getting it done.
3:52
Speaker 3: So he walks away with two big favors. Now what
3:56
Speaker 3: is President Trump up to? Why is he being so
3:58
Speaker 3: nice to Mom Donnie. Well, he's grooming him. He's getting
4:03
Speaker 3: developing this father son relationship, this mentor student relationship with
4:09
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie. And I'm sure down the line he knows
4:12
Speaker 3: what he wants out of this guy. He may have
4:13
Speaker 3: already gotten him to agree to some things in the
4:16
Speaker 3: meeting yesterday. But Trump working very slowly on this relationship,
4:21
Speaker 3: getting this guy in his pocket, which is good. It'll
4:25
Speaker 3: be good for New York. He'll keep a lid on
4:27
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie's craziness. And if Mom Donnie ever goes too
4:31
Speaker 3: far with something, Trump can call in some favors and
4:34
Speaker 3: stop it. So this is good. This is all good
4:38
Speaker 3: President Trump. Yesterday, after the meeting, I.
4:40
Speaker 1: Feel very confident that he can do very good yet.
4:42
Speaker 3: All right now he flects to flatter people until he doesn't,
4:45
Speaker 3: and then Mom died.
4:46
Speaker 4: What I really appreciate about the President. Is the meeting
4:49
Speaker 4: that we had focused not on places of disagreement, which
4:51
Speaker 4: there are many, and also focused on the shared purpose
4:55
Speaker 4: that we have in serving New Yorkers.
4:57
Speaker 3: All Right, he's getting along. And what does this tell
4:59
Speaker 3: us about these two? Well, in the case of Trump,
5:00
Speaker 3: he's the most powerful man in the world. He loves
5:03
Speaker 3: New York. He's got obviously a real soft spot for
5:06
Speaker 3: New York. His son still lives here in New York,
5:08
Speaker 3: goes to school here, his family, much of his family
5:11
Speaker 3: lives here in New York. So New York's very important
5:14
Speaker 3: to him. It's really his hometown. So he wants what's
5:17
Speaker 3: best for New York. That's one thing. Also, I'm sure
5:21
Speaker 3: he gets a kick out of this, Mom, Donnie. You
5:23
Speaker 3: know you got to get mom, Donnie credit. He's a
5:25
Speaker 3: twelve years old never had a job, but such a
5:28
Speaker 3: good talker. He gets himself elected mayor of New York City.
5:32
Speaker 3: It's a pretty impressive thing. And like Trump, he's a
5:35
Speaker 3: total amateur politician who came out of no place and
5:39
Speaker 3: was successful in his first run. So he thinks he
5:43
Speaker 3: can work with this kid and maybe maybe straighten him out.
5:45
Speaker 3: And what does mom Donnie want well again. He's a
5:49
Speaker 3: little kid who never had a job, and suddenly he's
5:51
Speaker 3: the mayor of New York. And hey, it's a big
5:53
Speaker 3: deal to just to be in the oval office at
5:56
Speaker 3: the president of the United States. The even bigger deal
5:57
Speaker 3: to develop a good, solid religationship, a partnership with him.
6:02
Speaker 3: So it's a big deal for Mom Donnie. And who
6:03
Speaker 3: knows what Mom Donnie's really up to in the long game.
6:06
Speaker 3: Maybe that's his dream to be president. Maybe was he
6:09
Speaker 3: born in this country? I don't think so, Maybe he
6:12
Speaker 3: can't be president. I don't know. I have to all
6:14
Speaker 3: look into I don't think he was born here. But
6:16
Speaker 3: who knows what he really wants. And it's all good,
6:20
Speaker 3: it's all good. I know you'd rather have Trump called
6:23
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie all kinds of names. But let him get
6:26
Speaker 3: something out of Hey. Remember the horrible they called it
6:29
Speaker 3: a snowball fight. It was an assault on police officers,
6:32
Speaker 3: a horrible, ugly incident. They were able with the surveillance
6:36
Speaker 3: video to identify some of those assaulters. One of them
6:39
Speaker 3: they arrested, were charged him with assault on a police officer.
6:43
Speaker 3: But the problem is it goes to Alvin bragg crazy
6:45
Speaker 3: lunatic da put in there by George Soros. He driveway
6:51
Speaker 3: declined to charge. He would not charge this guy. They
6:53
Speaker 3: knocked it down to basically a desk appearance ticket. That's
6:58
Speaker 3: just awful. These guys they've identified, they're not kids, as
7:02
Speaker 3: Mom Downey claimed. This one is twenty seven years old.
7:05
Speaker 3: Another one was seen a couple of weeks ago assaulting
7:10
Speaker 3: somebody trying to rob somebody on a subway. So it's
7:14
Speaker 3: I mean, these are guys with rap sheets. These are bad,
7:16
Speaker 3: bad guys who should have been prosecuted over this. But
7:20
Speaker 3: it's not over yet. Who knows, maybe somewhere somebody will
7:23
Speaker 3: prosecute them for something. Oh now, the other big stories
7:27
Speaker 3: the Epstein hearings yesterday was Hillary Clinton today. They grill
7:32
Speaker 3: Bill Clinton now yesterday. And as I've been telling you
7:37
Speaker 3: all along, we got to remember, Republicans stink at hearings.
7:41
Speaker 3: Democrats are great at hearings. They know how to just
7:45
Speaker 3: tear into somebody, just badger them, assault them on camera,
7:50
Speaker 3: and they're great at creating a spectacle on camera. Republicans when
7:55
Speaker 3: they do hearings stink. They get nothing done, nothing works
7:58
Speaker 3: for them. When they do a hearing. So they got
8:00
Speaker 3: Hillary in there and they asked her all kinds of
8:04
Speaker 3: questions and got nothing out of her, and she was
8:08
Speaker 3: It probably helped her in the end, she was doing
8:10
Speaker 3: a press conference before after attacking them for everything.
8:14
Speaker 5: It then got at the end quite unusual because I
8:20
Speaker 5: started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions
8:25
Speaker 5: about Pizzagate, one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories
8:30
Speaker 5: that was propagated on the Internet.
8:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, pizza Pizzagate was some kind of pedophile ring Washington, DC,
8:39
Speaker 3: was one of those silly Internet things. But they did
8:43
Speaker 3: ask her all about Epstein. She kept saying over and
8:46
Speaker 3: over again, she did not know Epstein, she never met Epstein,
8:49
Speaker 3: she never heard of Epstein, she ever saw Epstein. Nobody's
8:53
Speaker 3: buying this now. Gallaine Maxwell, who is the closest thing
8:59
Speaker 3: to Epstein, was at Chelsea Clinton's wedding. When asked about that,
9:03
Speaker 3: she said, well, I don't know. She must have been
9:05
Speaker 3: somebody's date, somebody's plus one, and nobody's buying that. Because
9:09
Speaker 3: Bill Clinton was very, very close, literally literally to Gallaine Maxwell.
9:16
Speaker 3: You can see pictures of them together in swimming pools
9:20
Speaker 3: all over the world, swimming together doing who knows what together.
9:25
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's a long list, but she just said,
9:28
Speaker 3: I don't know the guy. And now they brought up
9:30
Speaker 3: that he funded and helped found the Clinton Global Initiative.
9:35
Speaker 3: She suddenly denies anything to do with that. She said,
9:38
Speaker 3: I really had nothing to do with the Clinton Global Initiative.
9:40
Speaker 3: I wasn't there when I was still in the Senate,
9:42
Speaker 3: so I couldn't get involved. I had nothing to do
9:44
Speaker 3: with it. Nobody's buying any of this. But and they
9:48
Speaker 3: also pointed out that she was in the Senate, you know,
9:52
Speaker 3: she ran for Senate, that Epstein was a major donor
9:55
Speaker 3: writing large checks, you know, not twenty five hundred, he
9:59
Speaker 3: was writing checks for twenty twenty five fifty thousand, making massive,
10:03
Speaker 3: constant donations to Hillary Clinton. She said she didn't know him. Now,
10:07
Speaker 3: most senators congressman will tell you anytime somebody's over twenty
10:11
Speaker 3: five thousand of the donation, they're aware of it. And
10:14
Speaker 3: that's usually when you get into those big donations. That's
10:17
Speaker 3: usually you know who the person is. You give them
10:20
Speaker 3: a call, they're invited to your events, You shake hands
10:23
Speaker 3: with them, you go to their events if they need you.
10:26
Speaker 3: That's usually the case. So nobody's buying this. She never
10:29
Speaker 3: heard of Jeffrey Epstein, didn't know Jeffrey Epstein. There is
10:34
Speaker 3: some truth to one thing. Bill Clinton might have kept
10:37
Speaker 3: her away from Epstein because Epstein was simply one of these.
10:41
Speaker 3: There's a lot of them. They're big, big donors. They've
10:44
Speaker 3: got what they call check's appeal. They'll write your massive checks.
10:48
Speaker 3: Now in exchange for these massive donations, you got to
10:52
Speaker 3: be nice to them. You got to go to dinner
10:54
Speaker 3: with them, you got to come to their house, you
10:57
Speaker 3: got to talk to them. And all politicians hate the donors.
11:03
Speaker 3: They hate you pick donors. I hate to break it
11:06
Speaker 3: to you, but as soon as you leave the room,
11:07
Speaker 3: they can't stand you.
11:09
Speaker 2: Now.
11:09
Speaker 3: One of the reasons is the big donor is usually
11:12
Speaker 3: somebody who's brilliant and who has made a fortune in
11:15
Speaker 3: some business. But when they're with the politicians, they decide
11:21
Speaker 3: they want to talk about politics. And when they talk
11:23
Speaker 3: about politics, they're dis babbling idiots. It's like talking to children.
11:27
Speaker 3: Trump calls it baby talk, which is a good name
11:30
Speaker 3: for it. You have to have baby talk with them.
11:33
Speaker 3: So you know, if the brilliant business guy who made
11:35
Speaker 3: a fortune in some industry started telling you about his business,
11:39
Speaker 3: it would be fascinating. You'd be taking notes. When they
11:42
Speaker 3: start talking about politics, they stand like they're twelve years old.
11:45
Speaker 3: Nobody's interested, but they are giving you massive contributions. So
11:49
Speaker 3: you got to pretend that you're listening to them and
11:51
Speaker 3: all they're doing is giving you their opinion on this
11:53
Speaker 3: and that, which was just just silly. It's just so
11:56
Speaker 3: Bill Clinton loves people, he loves socializing. He's happy to
12:00
Speaker 3: put up with. He enjoys doing it. He really knows
12:03
Speaker 3: how to flatter them. Hillary, like a lot of people,
12:06
Speaker 3: has no interest in this. They can't sit there and
12:08
Speaker 3: pretend to be listening. They don't want to hear it,
12:10
Speaker 3: so she can't do it. So I would imagine that
12:12
Speaker 3: the whole time of Jeffrey Epstein, Bill always said to Hillary,
12:18
Speaker 3: I don't worry. I'll I'll go out with him. I'll talk.
12:20
Speaker 3: You don't have to bother with him. I'll take care
12:21
Speaker 3: of him. I'll talk to him, I'll listen to him.
12:23
Speaker 3: So today is the day that Bill will testify. Hearings
12:29
Speaker 3: begin probably after eleven. They usually start late eleven thirty twelve,
12:34
Speaker 3: so Bill will testify today. They're probably going to ask
12:38
Speaker 3: him some rough questions. I'll probably specifically ask him if
12:41
Speaker 3: he met women through Epstein, if he had sex with
12:45
Speaker 3: the women that he met through Epstein. Now, there's no
12:51
Speaker 3: The big myth of this Epstein stuff was the underage girls.
12:55
Speaker 3: All the women were grown ups and adults. Now, Epstein
12:58
Speaker 3: personally like the under age girls and had a lot
13:01
Speaker 3: of them around and recruited a lot of them. But
13:03
Speaker 3: that was just Epstein, And it looks like Prince Andrew
13:06
Speaker 3: might have liked that too, so he got involved. Maybe
13:08
Speaker 3: Epstein had a friend or two who got involved in that,
13:10
Speaker 3: But ninety nine point nine percent of these guys has
13:13
Speaker 3: nothing to do with young girls. And for most of
13:15
Speaker 3: these guys, they were around Epstein to get money, to
13:18
Speaker 3: get checks, to get donations. All those college presidents and professors,
13:22
Speaker 3: they were getting donations, all those world leaders, they were
13:24
Speaker 3: getting donations. And the guys that were getting women the
13:28
Speaker 3: bill Gates, the bill Clinton with older women. They weren't
13:31
Speaker 3: looking for underage girls. So the myth is this underage stuff.
13:34
Speaker 3: So if they bring that up, Clinton will probably put
13:38
Speaker 3: that to rest pretty fast. Now, if they ask him
13:40
Speaker 3: if he ever had sex with any of the women,
13:45
Speaker 3: he met through Epstein. I don't know. He's pretty good testifying,
13:50
Speaker 3: although you know he's aged badly. He's aged a lot
13:54
Speaker 3: in molested years. His handshake and his voice trembles. He's
13:56
Speaker 3: more than usual. And they talk squiet, and he used
14:00
Speaker 3: to talk, so I don't know. Now. Gallaine Maxwell would
14:05
Speaker 3: sleep with anybody anywhere, anytime. She was happy to sleep
14:11
Speaker 3: with a lot of people. So and Bill Clinton, the
14:14
Speaker 3: hound dog, I'm sure sniff that out immediately. So I'm
14:17
Speaker 3: sure something happened between him and Gallaine. And you see
14:20
Speaker 3: them late at night in those swimming pools together, so
14:25
Speaker 3: I'm sure they'll ask about that.
14:26
Speaker 4: Now.
14:26
Speaker 3: He can't deny knowing Epstein obviously, because he was traveling
14:31
Speaker 3: all over the world with the guy. He can't deny
14:33
Speaker 3: knowing Gallaine because he's in a million pictures with her
14:36
Speaker 3: half naked in a swimming pool, so in fact, ninety
14:40
Speaker 3: percent naked in a swimming pool. So this could be interesting,
14:44
Speaker 3: although again he can be a very very good witness
14:47
Speaker 3: at covering up. So we'll know later today what happened
14:52
Speaker 3: with that, and we'll see, Hey, we'll take some calls
14:56
Speaker 3: in a minute. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
15:00
Speaker 3: is the number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Hey,

16:25
Speaker 3: take some calls. Let's go to Suzanne and New Canaan, Connecticut. Suzanne,
16:29
Speaker 3: how you.
16:30
Speaker 7: Doing, Hey, Mark, thanks for taking my call. And as
16:33
Speaker 7: far as Hillary, Hillary's interpretation of Delaine at Chelsea's wedding,
16:38
Speaker 7: the Secret Service knew every guest attending that wedding, probably
16:41
Speaker 7: months in advanced. There's no surprise guests with you know,
16:46
Speaker 7: a special presidential wedding work.
16:49
Speaker 3: Well, she didn't say, she didn't say it was a surprise.
16:51
Speaker 3: She just said she didn't know her and that she
16:52
Speaker 3: came as the guest of somebody else at Plus one.
16:56
Speaker 3: But obviously right, obviously good Bill knew her, very very
17:00
Speaker 3: very well. Let's go to Stuart in South Carolina.
17:03
Speaker 1: Hey, Stuart, Hey, Mark, are you you know do you
17:07
Speaker 1: remember when they were throwing buckets of water on NYPD
17:10
Speaker 1: officers and nothing was being done about it? Yeah, I
17:14
Speaker 1: mean this is the same type of thing throwing snowballs
17:17
Speaker 1: at officers.
17:17
Speaker 2: You know, it's not a funny thing. This isn't assault
17:20
Speaker 2: and the fact that Mamdani just basically tries to neutralize
17:24
Speaker 2: it is just phenomenal. When you weaken the authority of police,
17:29
Speaker 2: you know, you have anarchy. We have what for three
17:32
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty million people in this country. Now there
17:35
Speaker 2: are seven hundred and sixty five thousand uniform police officers
17:39
Speaker 2: in this country for three hundred and thirty million people.
17:42
Speaker 2: That's it. So if people decide that they want to
17:44
Speaker 2: go against the police, we don't have a chance. And
17:47
Speaker 2: that's what's happening in New York City, and he's destroying
17:51
Speaker 2: the morale. And excuse me, I'll give you a real
17:54
Speaker 2: quick story. I used to work Inner City and the
17:58
Speaker 2: judge we had was very liberal, started charging people twenty
18:01
Speaker 2: five dollars for when they assaulted us. And that went
18:05
Speaker 2: on for a while, and these criminals were carried twenty
18:08
Speaker 2: five dollars in their wallet and they said it's worth
18:10
Speaker 2: twenty five dollars to hit us. Well, the suspects started
18:15
Speaker 2: coming in with some injuries. The judge finally got the
18:18
Speaker 2: message and up the fine to a couple hundred dollars.
18:22
Speaker 2: And that's what it's going to take I think it's
18:24
Speaker 2: just it's just unbelievable how they're treating the officers. And
18:28
Speaker 2: I cannot believe they put Alvin Bragg back in there. Yeah,
18:31
Speaker 2: that's just phenomenal.
18:32
Speaker 3: Well that's a problem. You got Alvin Bragg, Stuart, thanks
18:35
Speaker 3: for the call. Great call. You got Alvin Bragg who
18:37
Speaker 3: just decides to dismiss the charges. And you know, there's
18:41
Speaker 3: all kinds of studies out there's a Heather McDonald's study
18:43
Speaker 3: and other studies showing that when when you start doing
18:47
Speaker 3: this to police, they start to back off. You know,
18:49
Speaker 3: they don't do as many stops. They don't patrol ers
18:52
Speaker 3: aren't they they don't want to get into all this mess,
18:55
Speaker 3: so they back off. And when they back off, you
18:57
Speaker 3: get more crime, and you get a lot more crime
18:59
Speaker 3: and a lot more peace get killed. So Alvin Bragg
19:02
Speaker 3: and those types actually actually caused people to get killed.
19:06
Speaker 3: People and the people they think they're protecting, especially in
19:10
Speaker 3: the rougher neighborhoods, the inner city, they're the ones that
19:13
Speaker 3: get killed as a result of ben lacks on crime.
19:17
Speaker 3: Let's go to Mara in Nevada.
19:19
Speaker 8: Mara, how you doing, Good morning, Mark Child, Vincent Mark,
19:23
Speaker 8: I'm almost ashamed to speak after that wonderful call from Stuart.
19:27
Speaker 8: But here's why I called. I was born in New
19:30
Speaker 8: York City, and in Manhattan you say how are you?
19:33
Speaker 8: But in South Brooklyn, where I was raised, we say
19:36
Speaker 8: how are you? And a predominantly Italian neighbor's saying, camp Mark,
19:41
Speaker 8: Now you live in Nevada.
19:42
Speaker 3: What do they say there?
19:44
Speaker 8: Oh? Oh, please, don't even ask that for Ologa. But
19:47
Speaker 8: he is why I called Hillary Clinton much has spent
19:50
Speaker 8: one hundred thousand dollars on a facelip. She looks beautiful.
19:54
Speaker 3: She spent one hundred thousand faces. Hey, I'm looking at
19:56
Speaker 3: it right now. She might be entitled to a refund.
19:58
Speaker 3: Look at this face. Oh, she says, an old prune.
20:02
Speaker 8: You're kidding me. I think she's gonna run again twenty
20:05
Speaker 8: twenty eight, she fixed up of faith.
20:08
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's true. She probably just thinking of running.
20:11
Speaker 3: And she's like that crazy old woman in Sunset Boulevard
20:14
Speaker 3: who always thinks she can make a comeback. But Mara,
20:17
Speaker 3: thanks for calling. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
20:20
Speaker 3: how you doing.
20:21
Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, Good morning, Marry, Good morning, Steward.
20:25
Speaker 6: Mark Stewart is one hundred. Right back in the day
20:30
Speaker 6: after when they took you down the Central Book and
20:33
Speaker 6: we had a fingerprinted you and everything and took your
20:35
Speaker 6: monk shots was down in the cellar. A person like
20:39
Speaker 6: that man that Alvium Bragg let go would accidentally fall
20:44
Speaker 6: down the stairs. If you get my.
20:45
Speaker 3: Trist I got you interested, Ortis Curtis would say, they
20:49
Speaker 3: get a wooden shampoo.
20:50
Speaker 6: Mark. This has to stop. I hope Bruce Blakeman gets
20:57
Speaker 6: this is the reason why Blue Spring has to get
21:01
Speaker 6: elected so he could fire this album Bread and this
21:05
Speaker 6: is another reason why Jessica Tish has to stand up,
21:10
Speaker 6: has to go to Alvin Bragg and say, either you
21:13
Speaker 6: stop this or I'm gonna lead a public protest with
21:17
Speaker 6: the men and women in Blue and then I'm gonna
21:20
Speaker 6: quit Mark. Yesterday they interviewed one of these so OB councilman,
21:26
Speaker 6: Lincoln Wrestler, who said Alan was just a snowball fight.
21:31
Speaker 6: He's some Finocchio from that represents Williamberg. About a month ago,
21:37
Speaker 6: I saw him in the street. He was I don't know,
21:40
Speaker 6: he was in my neighborhood. One of his lackeys. I
21:43
Speaker 6: got right in his face and I said, I use
21:46
Speaker 6: the word that I can't use on the radio right
21:50
Speaker 6: in his face.
21:53
Speaker 3: Conversation.
21:54
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Mark, I told him. I says you're nothing
21:58
Speaker 6: but f in communist, I told them, and he giggled.
22:05
Speaker 6: He giggled, Lucky elect the sissy. But this is this
22:08
Speaker 6: has got to stop because, as Stewart says, pretty soon
22:12
Speaker 6: the men and women in Blue are just gonna ignore
22:15
Speaker 6: these things and it's gonna get worse and worse and
22:19
Speaker 6: worse and worse. What's gonna take somebody cap and a
22:24
Speaker 6: cop and then Alvin Bragg is good to reduce it
22:27
Speaker 6: to a first degree misdemeanor or something.
22:31
Speaker 3: Absolutely right, Vincent, great call, Thanks for calling. He's got
22:33
Speaker 3: a good point there. If you get Bruce Blakeman as governor,
22:36
Speaker 3: which we need to do, Bruce Blakeman would be the
22:37
Speaker 3: greatest governor of New York. Now, the believe it or not,
22:40
Speaker 3: the district attorneys all work for the state. They're not
22:42
Speaker 3: the city. It's on the city thing. That's why there's
22:45
Speaker 3: no term limits on a district attorney. But the governor
22:48
Speaker 3: can remove a district attorney. So it happened in Florida.
22:51
Speaker 3: Uh DeSantis had one of those Alvin Bragg type idiots
22:54
Speaker 3: who was letting everybody loose, all the criminals out, and
22:57
Speaker 3: DeSantis removed him and put in a real attorney, so
23:01
Speaker 3: a real governor could do that here in New York.
23:03
Speaker 3: Remove Alvin Bragg, put in a real da. Hey, we'll
23:08
Speaker 3: we'll talk to Roger Friedman next. A lot of good
23:10
Speaker 3: stuff to get to entertainment news and more just ahead
23:14

23:17
Speaker 4: George Marks amount se wr.

Speaker 3: how you doing?
23:37
Speaker 4: I'm great? Good morning s the end of wary and
23:39
Speaker 4: I can't believe it.
23:40
Speaker 3: March begins a Sunday, right or sooner or Monday?
23:46
Speaker 6: Yeah?
23:47
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, I never asked you. We're talking abou Jeffrey Epstein.
23:50
Speaker 3: You must have known Epstein or met him.
23:53
Speaker 4: No, No, I saw him once. I never met him.
23:58
Speaker 4: I might have nodded at him, I never I know.
24:00
Speaker 4: I didn't shake hands you.
24:03
Speaker 3: I hate to break it to you. You're in the
24:04
Speaker 3: Epstein files. I don't know if you know that I'm
24:07
Speaker 3: in there.
24:07
Speaker 4: Too, I know.
24:08
Speaker 3: I but you're in there because somebody, well somebody wrote him.
24:12
Speaker 3: Peggy Single wrote him and said, would you like to
24:14
Speaker 3: meet Roger Friedman? So it's nothing. She said, come join
24:17
Speaker 3: us for dinner.
24:18
Speaker 4: And I remember that dinner where I said to Peggy,
24:20
Speaker 4: I don't think we should do that, and we didn't.
24:22
Speaker 4: He never showed up. I saw him once with a
24:30
Speaker 4: very tall, thin girl with long brown hair and a
24:36
Speaker 4: dress that stopped at her waist. Yes, And I had
24:40
Speaker 4: no idea how old she was. I didn't think that
24:43
Speaker 4: she was under eighteen. I thought she was probably eighteen
24:46
Speaker 4: or nineteen. You know, I didn't know how old she was.
24:51
Speaker 4: He was a terrible guy. I'm just I just put
24:54
Speaker 4: up a story on show his Horror and one about him.
24:57
Speaker 4: He was a hypercontriac and sessed with cancer, and he
25:02
Speaker 4: thought that he had cancer, and he got involved with
25:05
Speaker 4: this bizarre alternative cancer hospital in California, And if you
25:09
Speaker 4: go on the website I have. I pulled out a
25:11
Speaker 4: lot of stuff from the files talking about the bizarre
25:15
Speaker 4: agreement he signed with them. I mean, he lived in
25:18
Speaker 4: a strange world, and he had his finger in every pie.
25:23
Speaker 4: He had his finger literally in every pie, I mean cancer.
25:26
Speaker 4: He was funding cancer research. You know, he was involved
25:30
Speaker 4: in so many different things that you can't believe. And
25:34
Speaker 4: it's amazing. He was like a cancer that ran through
25:37
Speaker 4: the society.
25:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been reading the files a lot. He was
25:40
Speaker 3: one of those guys who thought he was a political expert.
25:43
Speaker 3: He didn't know what the hell he was talking about,
25:45
Speaker 3: and he thought he was a medical expert, and he
25:46
Speaker 3: didn't know what all he was talking about. But he
25:48
Speaker 3: just keep writing chext to everybody, so they'd sit there
25:51
Speaker 3: and nod and pretend they were listening to him. But
25:54
Speaker 3: did you ever actually talk to me? You know? He
25:56
Speaker 3: always dressed it kind of look trying to dress like
25:59
Speaker 3: he was the DUCA when and then when he talked
26:00
Speaker 3: to you, go how are you? You know what that voice?
26:02
Speaker 3: It didn't work.
26:06
Speaker 4: Now. The one time I saw him, he was wearing
26:08
Speaker 4: just like, you know, like a workshirt kind of thing
26:11
Speaker 4: in jeans. He wasn't really dressed up. But I didn't
26:15
Speaker 4: really talk to him. I kind of looked at him, like,
26:17
Speaker 4: what the hell are you doing here? And I knew
26:21
Speaker 4: I didn't wantnything to do with him, But this was
26:23
Speaker 4: already late in the game. You know, let's say this
26:26
Speaker 4: was twenty sixteen or twenty seventeen. And you know, as
26:30
Speaker 4: I've been saying to people, remember Howard Rubinstein, of course,
26:35
Speaker 4: the great PR guy. He was Jeffrey's PR person, and
26:40
Speaker 4: he was also the person who represented the Post, the
26:43
Speaker 4: New York Post. So Howard would block the Post from
26:50
Speaker 4: running anything really bad about Epstein for years. So we
26:54
Speaker 4: didn't really know in New York the extent of what
26:57
Speaker 4: he was doing until it was too late. When he
27:00
Speaker 4: was doing when he was doing his crimes in Palm Beach, Florida,
27:06
Speaker 4: the news never really traveled up here. I mean it
27:09
Speaker 4: was sort of like it was a vague or distant.
27:12
Speaker 4: It was in the Palm Beach Post, but who cared?
27:14
Speaker 4: And in New York he wasn't getting the bad publicity
27:18
Speaker 4: he should have been getting. But that's because he has
27:22
Speaker 4: so much help from Rubinstein keeping everything out of the press.
27:27
Speaker 3: Roger Pittman, let's talk about somebody else we knew, JFK Junior.
27:30
Speaker 3: Everybody's talking about HM now because of this new mini series.
27:33
Speaker 3: Have you watched it?
27:34
Speaker 4: Oh? God, yeah, it's it's terrible. It's really terrible. It's
27:40
Speaker 4: not accurate, it's terrible. It's it's it's exploitive. I saw
27:46
Speaker 4: Lisa Depello, who worked for JFK at George Magazine, wrote
27:53
Speaker 4: something fun yesterday online, I think on her sub stack
27:57
Speaker 4: where she said she started watching it started laughing. So
28:00
Speaker 4: at least he has, I said, our humor. But you know,
28:05
Speaker 4: it's a bizarre thing to do to people, to do
28:08
Speaker 4: these movies where such a tragic thing happened and the
28:13
Speaker 4: story's been told over and over and over. This was
28:16
Speaker 4: completely unnecessary. I have no idea what the ratings are. Oh,
28:19
Speaker 4: it was silly. Huge, that's what I thought. This thing
28:21
Speaker 4: is huge, huge, It's huge. It's like the most popular
28:24
Speaker 4: streaming thing right now. Everybody's talking, oh wow. Yeah, I
28:29
Speaker 4: thought it was the silliest thing I ever saw. And
28:32
Speaker 4: I knew John a little bit.
28:33
Speaker 3: Yeah.
28:34
Speaker 4: I never knew Carolyn, but I knew John a little
28:36
Speaker 4: bit and he was a great guy.
28:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I knew him too. And this is not
28:39
Speaker 3: accurate this show. You may love it, but it's not
28:41
Speaker 3: the real story at all. Hey, it looks like Paramount
28:48
Speaker 3: is going to take over Warner Brothers, Discovery, Netflix is
28:51
Speaker 3: bout out, So what does that mean? Paramount? Whatever, it's
28:54
Speaker 3: going to be the biggest conglomerate.
28:55
Speaker 4: In one family, yea, one family, David and Larry Ellison.
29:00
Speaker 4: The father is Larry, the son is David. They're going
29:02
Speaker 4: to own HBO, CNN, CBS, They're going to own all
29:08
Speaker 4: of this media. And uh, you know, Larry Ellison, the
29:13
Speaker 4: father is in business with Donald Trump, and the son,
29:17
Speaker 4: David Ellison has already said that he would make it
29:21
Speaker 4: make CBS more conservative, and in doing that, he's taken
29:25
Speaker 4: to Tony Jakoppel's CBS Evening News, and the ratings have collapsed, Yeah, collapsed.
29:31
Speaker 4: Viewers have left.
29:32
Speaker 3: Now, that's whatever. You change the format, even the radio station,
29:35
Speaker 3: you lose all your audience. You've gotta go get a
29:36
Speaker 3: new one. But have you noticed all three evening all
29:39
Speaker 3: three of them look alike. They're identity, They're identical. Yeah,
29:48
Speaker 3: they're identical.
29:50
Speaker 4: And the correspondence on their shows look like them too.
29:56
Speaker 4: So it's just it's just like an army of white
29:58
Speaker 4: guys with dark hair, all telling the same story all
30:02
Speaker 4: night long. And I was a big fan of Nora O'Donnell.
30:06
Speaker 4: I'd like to see her come back somehow, but it's
30:10
Speaker 4: kind of crazy, and I really like Lesterholt. But it's
30:15
Speaker 4: kind of crazy what's happened. But you know what's happening
30:17
Speaker 4: is the news. The audience for the news is shrinking anyway. Yeah,
30:21
Speaker 4: there's not much audience for that, for the nighttime news
30:24
Speaker 4: in the first place, because people are consuming a lot
30:28
Speaker 4: of their okay, thank you. The people are consuming the
30:33
Speaker 4: news on TikTok, on Instagram, in little clips. You know,
30:38
Speaker 4: it's a much different world than we were used to
30:40
Speaker 4: where you sat for half an hour and watched the news.
30:43
Speaker 4: Now I watch Tony Jakoppel just because I don't like him,
30:46
Speaker 4: and I watched the first fifteen minutes. After that, I
30:49
Speaker 4: can't take anymore.
30:50
Speaker 3: Hey, before we run out of time. We had this
30:52
Speaker 3: terrible two blizzards, snow the weather was what happened. How
30:56
Speaker 3: is Broadway affected and the movies and all of that
30:58
Speaker 3: by this.
31:00
Speaker 4: Well, they were Sunday Saturday, and Sunday was a terrible
31:04
Speaker 4: day for movies in theater and particularly Broadway. Sunday, you know,
31:08
Speaker 4: they canceled all the night time, all the seven o'clock shows,
31:11
Speaker 4: and even it even went into Monday too, where people
31:15
Speaker 4: didn't show up. So Broadway took a big hit. They
31:17
Speaker 4: were down I think two million dollars this past week
31:21
Speaker 4: from the week before because of all of that, And
31:24
Speaker 4: and the movies took a hit two although the big
31:29
Speaker 4: movies like Crime one oh one and Goat, they still
31:34
Speaker 4: they still pulled an audience, So the box office wasn't
31:38
Speaker 4: too bad for movies, but it was. It's bad for
31:39
Speaker 4: theater because you people are not going to schlep into
31:42
Speaker 4: New York to crawl over black ice, you know and
31:46
Speaker 4: dirty snow to see a show.
31:48
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean. Yeah, restaurants were empty too.
31:50
Speaker 3: It was a huge economic loss both those blizzards.
31:53
Speaker 4: But three weeks a good night to see a show
31:57
Speaker 4: that you couldn't get into. Yeah, if you lived in
32:01
Speaker 4: town and you could take the subwords of the show,
32:04
Speaker 4: you could see something that was sold out previously.
