- 0:00Speaker 1: It's more more, mister New York on seven ten wr.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Well, so the Guthrie kidnapping, Savannah Guthrie's mother, Now they're
- 0:17Speaker 2: getting things are coming out slowly, being released, very slowly.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Apparently neighbors did see a mysterious white van before the
- 0:26Speaker 2: mother vanished. Though, there was a mysterious white van that
- 0:31Speaker 2: was somewhere near the house. That would they believe it
- 0:33Speaker 2: was multiple kidnappers, because you'd need multiple kidnappers, especially once
- 0:39Speaker 2: you have her. Somebody's got to watch her, somebody's got
- 0:41Speaker 2: to go out and get food, somebody's got to do this.
- 0:44Speaker 2: A van obviously makes it a lot easier for a kidnapping.
- 0:48Speaker 2: So they did spot it, and they're not saying exactly why,
- 0:54Speaker 2: but they believe it was targeted. They believe the kidnappers
- 0:57Speaker 2: knew who this woman was, knew that it was Savannah
- 0:59Speaker 2: guthrie mother. Now you got to figure that they thought
- 1:03Speaker 2: that that meant to be more money to get out
- 1:06Speaker 2: of Savannah Guthrie. It doesn't happen as often as you
- 1:10Speaker 2: would think where kidnappers look for the relative of a
- 1:14Speaker 2: very famous, wealthy person, but it has happened before. Frank
- 1:18Speaker 2: Sinatra's son, the most famous case, but members Calvin Klein too.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Nineteen seventy eight. Calvin Klein, who was as big as
- 1:26Speaker 2: could be back then, they kidnapped his daughter, Marcy. She
- 1:29Speaker 2: was only eleven years old, then kidnapped here in New York.
- 1:33Speaker 2: But that was over pretty fast. I think about twelve
- 1:35Speaker 2: hours later they found her. They did pay one hundred
- 1:38Speaker 2: thousand dollars ransom, which would be like a million dollars today.
- 1:43Speaker 2: But it doesn't happen as often as you'd think, so
- 1:45Speaker 2: we'll keep following the story for you. Hey, Scott Besson,
- 1:49Speaker 2: great job yesterday testifying. Actually was the day before Scott
- 1:54Speaker 2: Besson testifying in front of Democrats in Congress, and they
- 1:58Speaker 2: were yelling and screaming at him and just awful. It
- 2:01Speaker 2: was just out of control beating up on Scott Besson.
- 2:05Speaker 2: But he was great. Then Elizabeth Warren is the question
- 2:09Speaker 2: we played to the ones yesterday, the nutjobs like Elizabeth
- 2:11Speaker 2: Warren yelling and screaming at him. Warren was more calm,
- 2:15Speaker 2: but Bessett was great answering her, and he kept he
- 2:19Speaker 2: kept saying, you know, when she's trying to say how
- 2:21Speaker 2: bad things were, he kept pointing out it was much
- 2:24Speaker 2: worse before, and he called it the Warren Biden economy,
- 2:27Speaker 2: the Warren Biden economy. Listen to this, So let me
- 2:29Speaker 2: make sure that I understand.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not saying that affordability what's happening to families.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Right now is a hoax. He is saying that trying
- 2:39Speaker 2: to lay the blame at this administration rather than the
- 2:42Speaker 2: Biden Warren economy is a hoax. He kept repeating that
- 2:47Speaker 2: Althrough's testimony the Biden Warren economy, the Biden Warren economy.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Hey also speaking of this, Scott Bessett revealing things going
- 2:57Speaker 2: on in Iran. You know, the revolution, the real volt
- 3:00Speaker 2: continues in Iran. We believe that the Iranian leaders are
- 3:04Speaker 2: very worried that the revolution will succeed. They're already planning
- 3:09Speaker 2: their getaway if they have to. The Iranian leaders planning
- 3:12Speaker 2: to go to Russia. I guess Russia. Putin has said
- 3:16Speaker 2: he will take care of them, and they've come up
- 3:20Speaker 2: with the plan. There's about eleven people Shaw not to
- 3:22Speaker 2: show the Ayatola and eleven of his closest people will
- 3:26Speaker 2: go there. But bessn't saying yesterday. They now know that
- 3:30Speaker 2: these Iranian leaders are wiring money out of the country
- 3:34Speaker 2: like crazy. They're wiring tons of money out of the country,
- 3:38Speaker 2: which means most likely they are getting ready to flee
- 3:43Speaker 2: if they're wiring all that money away. So hey, a
- 3:47Speaker 2: lot of fighting about the shutdown, stuff about defunding Homeland Security,
- 3:52Speaker 2: which you can't do. Everything's in that department TSA, THEMA,
- 3:56Speaker 2: Secret Service can't defund it. But they're fighting about this
- 3:59Speaker 2: other think Schumer's fighting about his voter ID. Chuck Schumer
- 4:05Speaker 2: fighting about voter ID. You know, the Democrats keep pushing
- 4:08Speaker 2: this ridiculous racist narrative that the reason you can't have
- 4:14Speaker 2: voter ID is minority voters don't know how to get
- 4:17Speaker 2: an ID, they don't have a driver's Like, what kind
- 4:20Speaker 2: of racist nonsense is that? If you think about it,
- 4:24Speaker 2: it's absolutely ridiculous. It's twenty twenty six to keep pushing
- 4:28Speaker 2: this line that you can't require ID because minorities like
- 4:33Speaker 2: they don't have idea, They wouldn't even know how to
- 4:35Speaker 2: get an ID. They it wouldn't be capable of getting
- 4:38Speaker 2: an ID. What kind of ridiculous, idiotic nonsense is it?
- 4:42Speaker 2: But these old old old dinosaurs like Schumer keep pushing this,
- 4:47Speaker 2: and they they'll sell you. It's Jim Crow. You know,
- 4:50Speaker 2: I don't think he knows. Nobody under seventy five knows
- 4:53Speaker 2: what the hell Jim Crow is. They don't know what
- 4:54Speaker 2: he's talking about.
- 4:55Speaker 3: What they're trying to do here is the same thing
- 4:58Speaker 3: that was done in the South for decades. It's to
- 5:00Speaker 3: prevent people of color from voting. For instance, if you
- 5:04Speaker 3: can't if you change you're a woman who got married
- 5:07Speaker 3: and changed your last name, you won't be able to
- 5:09Speaker 3: show ID and you'll be discriminated against. If you can't
- 5:12Speaker 3: find a birth certificate or a proper ID, you'll be
- 5:15Speaker 3: discriminated against. This is vicious and nasty.
- 5:18Speaker 2: What the hell is this lunatic talking about? You know,
- 5:21Speaker 2: a lot of women get married and they get a
- 5:23Speaker 2: married name instead of a maiden name. This happens all
- 5:26Speaker 2: the time, every day, every second they all vote. What
- 5:30Speaker 2: is he talking about? Bloomenthal making the same speech. You
- 5:35Speaker 2: people in Connecticut don't laugh at us for having Chuck Schumer.
- 5:38Speaker 2: You got Richard Blumenthal, who is dirty and sleazy and slimy.
- 5:41Speaker 2: As you ever watched bluementhal on TV, and if you
- 5:45Speaker 2: have high definition TV, you can actually see the slime
- 5:48Speaker 2: dripping off him, it's amazing. So super Bowl this Sunday.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Bad Bunny is the President. You know, normally the President
- 5:58Speaker 2: would go to the super Bowl. He's not gonna go.
- 6:03Speaker 2: He says it's too far, it's California. But I think
- 6:05Speaker 2: it's because that wants to sit through Bad Bunny and
- 6:08Speaker 2: you know this bad Bunny might attack him in the
- 6:10Speaker 2: middle of the show. Why be sitting there? The White
- 6:12Speaker 2: House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt was asked about this.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I think the President would much prefer a kid rock
- 6:18Speaker 1: performance over Bad Bunny.
- 6:19Speaker 2: I must say that, Yeah, I think so. So now
- 6:24Speaker 2: he's going to go to a palm beach for the weekend,
- 6:26Speaker 2: mar A Lago. In fact, he's gonna leave a little
- 6:28Speaker 2: early today. Normally leaves it five. He's gonna leave at
- 6:30Speaker 2: three o'clock today, head to Florida. Missed the bitter cold weekend.
- 6:35Speaker 2: At mar A Lago. They always have a big super
- 6:37Speaker 2: Bowl party. That's one of the big, big, big events
- 6:40Speaker 2: there every season mar Alago the super Bowl party. So
- 6:43Speaker 2: he'll be for the be there for that Sunday night.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Super Bowl is over about like nine thirty or ten.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Then it'll head back to Washington, get back in the
- 6:51Speaker 2: White House about twelve thirty one in the morning, get
- 6:55Speaker 2: two three hours of sleep, and then put in an
- 6:57Speaker 2: eighteen hour day the next day. It's not like Joe Biden.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Thing is different. Now, Hey, the Olympics opens. When does
- 7:02Speaker 2: it open today? Right? Yeah? I don't know who is
- 7:08Speaker 2: doing the marketing public relations for this year's Olympics, but
- 7:12Speaker 2: I don't think I would hire them. Have you ever
- 7:13Speaker 2: seen less build up to an Olympics. You really don't
- 7:18Speaker 2: get a lot of anything about the Olympics going on.
- 7:20Speaker 2: But it starts today later today, Winter Olympics. I don't
- 7:26Speaker 2: know anything about it. I don't follow the Olympics. Mom.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Donnie getting a lot of flak, a lot of flack.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Now we know he's a left wing wacko. But we've
- 7:36Speaker 2: had left wing wackos before, you know. But when you
- 7:41Speaker 2: get a left wing wacko at Bernie Sanders or at
- 7:43Speaker 2: least they've been in government for a while, this guy
- 7:46Speaker 2: hasn't been in government. He hasn't been in anything. I
- 7:49Speaker 2: even like a state assemblyman for two weeks, but that's
- 7:52Speaker 2: a part time job. It's not a full time job.
- 7:54Speaker 2: That state assembly is not full time. But he's never
- 7:58Speaker 2: actually been employed anywhere. He's never had a job, he's
- 8:01Speaker 2: never gone to work nine to five, five days a week.
- 8:04Speaker 2: You know this guy, I bit you. This guy's never
- 8:05Speaker 2: owned an alarm clock, never needed one. So can imagine
- 8:10Speaker 2: your first job ever, entry level job mayor of New
- 8:14Speaker 2: York City. So he doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
- 8:17Speaker 2: He's just crazy, And of course he expects some left
- 8:20Speaker 2: wing cook stuff, but he is really setting new records.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Everybody is stunned at his behavior. This week, there's a
- 8:29Speaker 2: maniac with a butcher knife going insane in his house.
- 8:33Speaker 2: The family calls the police, calls nine to one one,
- 8:37Speaker 2: ask for the police to please hurry, get over there.
- 8:39Speaker 2: They get over there. There's the maniac. It's I guess
- 8:42Speaker 2: it's the husband or whoever it is. But he's got
- 8:44Speaker 2: a massive knife, like a butcher knife, screaming and yelling.
- 8:49Speaker 2: The cops, guns drawn, yelling at him, put the knife down,
- 8:51Speaker 2: put the knife down. They can't get him to drop
- 8:53Speaker 2: the knife. Finally he charges the cops with this big,
- 8:56Speaker 2: huge knife and they have to shoot him. Mom Donnie.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Instead of rushing to see if the cops okay, Mom
- 9:06Speaker 2: Donnie rushes to the hospital to visit the lunatic. Can
- 9:09Speaker 2: you imagine this? You ever heard of such a thing?
- 9:12Speaker 2: Maniac with a knife tries to kill a cop. Luckily
- 9:15Speaker 2: the cop is able to stop him. Mom, Donnie rushes
- 9:18Speaker 2: to the maniac, are you okay? What kind of idiot
- 9:22Speaker 2: are we dealing with?
- 9:24Speaker 1: This? Is?
- 9:25Speaker 2: I mean, even de Blasio would know better, even to Blasio,
- 9:29Speaker 2: go to the cops, the cop is the officer, all right,
- 9:31Speaker 2: is it okay? Or go to the family. Are you okay?
- 9:35Speaker 2: But to rush to the hospital to make sure the
- 9:38Speaker 2: maniac is being taken care of, make sure the lunatic
- 9:40Speaker 2: is okay? Unbelievable, just amazing. Now, I think the most
- 9:48Speaker 2: important thing in November that we get Bruce Blakeman as governor.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Common sense does a great job, best county executive, which
- 9:55Speaker 2: is like a governor job, best county executive in America.
- 9:58Speaker 2: You want to have Bruce Blakeman in November. He's got
- 10:00Speaker 2: a very good chance. Hocel one minute she's pandering, one
- 10:06Speaker 2: minute she's caving in, either pandering or caving in to somebody.
- 10:10Speaker 2: She was terrified of Mamdanni and his army. Mam Donni
- 10:14Speaker 2: has an army, a very effective election workers and all
- 10:17Speaker 2: that stuff and he's been threatening her that she better
- 10:22Speaker 2: fall in line with him, and she caved in, and
- 10:24Speaker 2: she has because she doesn't want his army out there
- 10:27Speaker 2: screwing up her her election chances in November. So she's
- 10:30Speaker 2: agreed to do whatever the hell Mam Donnie wants. That's
- 10:34Speaker 2: why she picked this real left wing lunatic, Adrian Adams
- 10:38Speaker 2: to be her running mate. Adrian Adams, the city council speaker,
- 10:41Speaker 2: a real left wing kouk. Last person you want is
- 10:44Speaker 2: lieutenant governor. Hey, and remember, don't say what the lieutenant
- 10:49Speaker 2: governor doesn't meannything. Governors go away a lot and we
- 10:52Speaker 2: end up with the lieutenant governor that a lot of
- 10:55Speaker 2: governors have had to lead. From Spitzer to Cuomo. Spitzer left,
- 10:59Speaker 2: he got David Patterson, who was great. It was a
- 11:02Speaker 2: phenomenal governor. So that was fine. But Cuomo leaves, and
- 11:05Speaker 2: that's how you got Kathy Hockel, and so Adrian Adams,
- 11:10Speaker 2: you don't want her second in command there. It's just
- 11:14Speaker 2: a now Hokeel finally got because she caved in, did
- 11:17Speaker 2: whatever Mom Donnie wanted. He endorsed her. Yesterday, he officially
- 11:21Speaker 2: endorsed Kathy Hochel.
- 11:22Speaker 1: This is an endorsement that I make as a reflection
- 11:26Speaker 1: of how Governor Hochele is leading this state, and that
- 11:30Speaker 1: leadership has included transforming the relationship between the city and
- 11:35Speaker 1: state from one that has often been characterized by pettiness
- 11:38Speaker 1: and making it one that is characterized more by productivity.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds very good what he just said. I
- 11:44Speaker 2: don't know what helly said. Does that mean transform the
- 11:46Speaker 2: relationship between city and state? I guess what that means
- 11:52Speaker 2: is she'll do whatever the hell he wants. Now he
- 11:54Speaker 2: controls her. Now this is bad news because he wants
- 11:57Speaker 2: to raise taxes. The mayor doesn't have the power to
- 12:00Speaker 2: raise taxes, but the governor certainly does. And that means
- 12:04Speaker 2: they've made some kind of deal, which means she'll campaign
- 12:08Speaker 2: saying no tax increase, no tax increase, and then as
- 12:11Speaker 2: soon as the election is over, tax increase. Remember she
- 12:15Speaker 2: did that with congestion pricing. Remember she said no congestion
- 12:21Speaker 2: pricing is off, it's off the table, it's dropped. So
- 12:26Speaker 2: the election was over next day congestion pricing. So she'll
- 12:29Speaker 2: do that with taxes. Mom, Donnie give them credit. The
- 12:33Speaker 2: garbage got picked up a little late, but it's getting
- 12:35Speaker 2: picked up, snow is still out there. The cold is
- 12:39Speaker 2: this what do you call this? Code blue has been
- 12:41Speaker 2: on nineteen days now.
- 12:43Speaker 1: This cold snap might end up becoming the coldest period
- 12:46Speaker 1: in recorded history in New York City. And it is
- 12:49Speaker 1: a cold blue here in New York City, which means
- 12:51Speaker 1: that every time in New Yorker calls three one one,
- 12:53Speaker 1: we reroute that to nine one one. We're looking to
- 12:55Speaker 1: bring everyone inside.
- 12:57Speaker 2: It's government. They like these words. You would just say, hey,
- 13:00Speaker 2: it's cold out. Not with them, it's code blue. And
- 13:03Speaker 2: we had a code blue here. What does that mean?
- 13:04Speaker 2: It means it's cold out. Now he's killed like seventeen
- 13:08Speaker 2: is it nineteen?
- 13:09Speaker 1: Now?
- 13:09Speaker 2: Homeless people because normally when it gets dangerously cold, the
- 13:16Speaker 2: city takes the homeless off the street, whether they want
- 13:18Speaker 2: to go or not. Even if they won't go, they
- 13:20Speaker 2: take them and put them in the shelter because it's
- 13:22Speaker 2: too dangerous. You could die outside. Mom. Donnie made them
- 13:26Speaker 2: stop doing that and leave them on the street. And
- 13:30Speaker 2: nineteen homeless are dead. It's hard. And after the first
- 13:35Speaker 2: ten were dead, you think he would have changed the policy,
- 13:38Speaker 2: but he didn't.
- 13:38Speaker 1: We are looking to make the outreach to each and
- 13:41Speaker 1: every person to let them know that there's a safe haven,
- 13:44Speaker 1: there's a shelter, there's a warming bus, there's a warming
- 13:46Speaker 1: center at a hospital, all of these different options. And
- 13:49Speaker 1: if we deem them to be a danger to themselves
- 13:51Speaker 1: or to others, then we do also bring them in.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Yeah, but he hasn't been doing it, and he hasn't
- 13:56Speaker 2: forced them in, and he's killed a lot of homeless people.
- 14:00Speaker 2: But that's the way these left wing kooks work. That's
- 14:02Speaker 2: the way these socialists work. They tell you what the
- 14:04Speaker 2: goal is, they put in a policy that achieves the
- 14:07Speaker 2: exact opposite of the goal, and they never see it.
- 14:10Speaker 2: They never change, they never blink. They don't know how
- 14:12Speaker 2: to bob and weave and change their policy. Like his
- 14:15Speaker 2: whole thing when he was running was concerned for the homeless.
- 14:18Speaker 2: He's now killed more homeless people than any other mayor
- 14:22Speaker 2: in the history of New York and he just keeps
- 14:24Speaker 2: going with the same stupid policy. Hey, if you love
- 14:27Speaker 2: Johnny Carson, don't go away. There's a new book out.
- 14:30Speaker 2: It's the best book ever on Johnny Carson. We'll talk
- 14:33Speaker 2: to the author a little later. Hey, we'll take some
- 14:35Speaker 2: calls next eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
- 14:40Speaker 2: is the number eight hundred three two one zero seven
- 14:44Speaker 2: ten
