0:00
Speaker 1: You're listening to Mark emotion only on Well, hey, we'll
0:07
Speaker 1: get to the governor's race. We'll get to mom, Donnie.
0:10
Speaker 1: And the shutdown looks like it's ending. It's coming to
0:14
Speaker 1: an end. The first big vote last night. They'll have
0:17
Speaker 1: it wrapped up, probably by Wednesday. Schumer getting a lot
0:20
Speaker 1: of flak from Democrats. The leading Democrat right now probably
0:24
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. He's the leader of the twenty twenty eight bunch,
0:28
Speaker 1: and he tweets out just one word pathetic. Pathetic. So
0:34
Speaker 1: they'll be coming after Schumer, which is good.
0:36
Speaker 2: He deserves it.
0:37
Speaker 1: And it's gonna get settled. And then like every other
0:43
Speaker 1: shutdown we've had, how many of you have been through,
0:46
Speaker 1: You've been through fourteen of them. You know, we'll just
0:49
Speaker 1: forget about it. Everything, we'll get back to normal. It's
0:51
Speaker 1: just good for the Democrats have a playbook. They all
0:55
Speaker 1: get their assignment. If you were watching the Sunday shows yesterday,
0:59
Speaker 1: you may have to notice that they're not only saying
1:03
Speaker 1: the same thing, they're using these same exact phrases. It's
1:05
Speaker 1: all coordinated. They do a conference call and it comes
1:10
Speaker 1: from K Street in Washington, DC. All the Democrats are
1:12
Speaker 1: given their assignment what to say on the shows, the
1:16
Speaker 1: phrases to use one of them, which you saw every
1:19
Speaker 1: Democrat use on the Sunday shows. Somewhere in the middle
1:22
Speaker 1: area said if Donald Trump didn't spend all his time
1:24
Speaker 1: on the golf course. You saw that like a fourteen
1:27
Speaker 1: times on those Sunday shows. You heard Adam Shift said,
1:30
Speaker 1: you heard Hakim Jeffrey said, every Democrat used that phrase. Well,
1:33
Speaker 1: he didn't spend all his time on the golf course.
1:38
Speaker 1: Now obviously coordinated, but also what does it mean, does
1:41
Speaker 1: he spend all his time on the golf course. No,
1:43
Speaker 1: obviously not. You know, he plays golf on Saturday and Sunday,
1:47
Speaker 1: and I've played golf with him a lot of times.
1:50
Speaker 1: He plays fast. It's not four hours, it's two hours.
1:53
Speaker 1: Maybe it's quick. He plays quick. So you're entitled on
1:58
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday to take the day off. You know,
2:01
Speaker 1: Obama liked to play basketball. He didn't like golf. He
2:05
Speaker 1: liked to play basketball. He even had a basketball court
2:08
Speaker 1: put it in the White House so he could play basketball,
2:11
Speaker 1: and Saturday and Sunday he would go on that basketball
2:14
Speaker 1: court and play basketball. I never heard anybody say, well,
2:15
Speaker 1: he didn't spend all this time playing basketball. Every president
2:19
Speaker 1: does something on the weekends. Every president has a hobby
2:23
Speaker 1: of some kind. Nixon liked to read Saturday and Sunday,
2:26
Speaker 1: sit around and read. They didn't say, well, he didn't
2:29
Speaker 1: spend all his time reading. You're entitled on Saturday and
2:32
Speaker 1: Sunday to take a couple of hours on Saturday and
2:34
Speaker 1: Sunday to do whatever your hobby is. So a crazy
2:38
Speaker 1: talking point they were using. Nancy Pelosi is leaving. That's
2:42
Speaker 1: the good news. The fascinating part is her amazing career
2:48
Speaker 1: in the stock market. She is up over the last
2:54
Speaker 1: few years. Warren Buffett, I think it's up like four
2:57
Speaker 1: hundred percent or something. Is her portfolio. This is not
3:01
Speaker 1: a joke. Her portfolio is up seventeen thousand percent. Seventeen
3:06
Speaker 1: thousand percent. That's the greatest ever trading record in the
3:11
Speaker 1: history of the stock exchange. Nobody has ever been up
3:14
Speaker 1: like that, No hedge fund, no anybody. Now, obviously she
3:17
Speaker 1: did it with insider trading. When you are in Congress,
3:22
Speaker 1: you get access to all kinds of information before anybody else.
3:26
Speaker 1: You know what company's going to get a ruling against them,
3:29
Speaker 1: what company's going to get a ruling for them, and
3:32
Speaker 1: you can trade based on that. It's legal. I don't
3:35
Speaker 1: know how this ever happened, but it's legal for people
3:37
Speaker 1: in Congress to engage in insider trading. It's got to
3:41
Speaker 1: be outlawed. But the only people can outlawd the congressmen themselves.
3:44
Speaker 1: So Pelosi was the king, the queen of insider trading.
3:48
Speaker 1: Her portfolio is up seventeen thousand percent. She's made hundreds
3:53
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars in Congress. She was asked about
3:56
Speaker 1: it over.
3:56
Speaker 3: The first of your career.
3:57
Speaker 4: Has her husband ever maybe stock purchaser saleb some information
4:00
Speaker 4: you received from you?
4:01
Speaker 5: No?
4:02
Speaker 1: Absolutely not, no, No, you're up seventeen thousand percent. Did
4:07
Speaker 1: you use your insider note? No, no, no, just shere
4:13
Speaker 1: brilliance on her part, But it's done all the time,
4:16
Speaker 1: not on a smaller scale. You got this new Jersey
4:18
Speaker 1: governor elect, Mikey Cheryl, who's brand new, just started. But
4:23
Speaker 1: in her brief little time in Congress, she somehow made
4:26
Speaker 1: seven million trading stock, just like that seven million, And
4:31
Speaker 1: our friend down the hall there, Charlemagne, asked her, but
4:35
Speaker 1: did you make seven million trading stocks?
4:37
Speaker 6: There is no individual stock trading. It's not as if
4:40
Speaker 6: I go sit on the House Arm Service Committee and
4:42
Speaker 6: suddenly I'm trading Boeing or something. There's none of that.
4:45
Speaker 6: I'm totally out of individual stocks. And I, like I said,
4:48
Speaker 6: I think every member of Congress.
4:50
Speaker 3: Shall be well, did you make seven million in stock
4:52
Speaker 3: trees at all? Well?
4:54
Speaker 1: I haven't.
4:57
Speaker 6: I don't believe I did, but I'd have to go
5:00
Speaker 6: see what that was alluding to it.
5:03
Speaker 1: Now, you know how much money you got to have
5:05
Speaker 1: to not notice if you've made seven million to not
5:09
Speaker 1: notice seven million showing up in your bank account or
5:12
Speaker 1: your your stock account. If you didn't notice seven million,
5:16
Speaker 1: you got to be worth hundreds of millions not to
5:19
Speaker 1: notice seven million. I mean, if you're Elon Musk and
5:23
Speaker 1: an extra seven million showed up in your stock portfolio,
5:26
Speaker 1: you might not note. Who's going to notice you got
5:27
Speaker 1: five hundred billion. Who's gonna know a seven million? But
5:31
Speaker 1: she didn't notice the seven million? Anyway. Hey, the good
5:35
Speaker 1: news is there's some indictments coming. The grand jury approved
5:39
Speaker 1: subpoenas for John Brennan, the dirty former CIA director. But
5:44
Speaker 1: it looks like they're going after Strack and Page all
5:46
Speaker 1: the people that did that. Disgusting Russia witch hunt hoax.
5:51
Speaker 1: One by one. They'll be going after all of them.
5:53
Speaker 1: So that's that's good news. Expect that pretty soon. So
5:57
Speaker 1: the race for governor, you got HOCl in trouble. Obviously,
6:02
Speaker 1: people can't stand Hokel and she's embracing Mamdannie. You know,
6:07
Speaker 1: they had that big Democrat conference in Puerto Rico. They
6:10
Speaker 1: called the somos whatever that stands for, but it's basically
6:14
Speaker 1: they say it's to relax in a conference. It's a
6:18
Speaker 1: conference when they're all to talk to each other. But
6:20
Speaker 1: as Curtis would say, it's whining, dining, and pocket lining
6:25
Speaker 1: kind of a deal. And they had to do a
6:29
Speaker 1: couple of joint appearances and Hokel was all over Mam Donnie,
6:32
Speaker 1: introducing them, praising them, holding hands with him. So you'll
6:36
Speaker 1: see Stephanic, at least Stephonic running against Nancy Hokeel Kathy
6:43
Speaker 1: Hochel for governor. This could be an interesting race.
6:46
Speaker 4: This is a toxic governor who has a record of
6:49
Speaker 4: delivering the highest taxes in the nation, of hurting hard
6:52
Speaker 4: working New Yorkers, of turning her back on law enforcement
6:55
Speaker 4: officers and small businesses. New York is in catastrophe because
6:59
Speaker 4: of Kathy Hochel's lead readership.
7:00
Speaker 1: Nastophonic, she's Ferosias going after HOCl and she's going to
7:04
Speaker 1: time the Mom.
7:04
Speaker 4: Donnie, this was not a mandate, even though Mom Dommi
7:07
Speaker 4: is claiming such. He barely got over fifty percent, So
7:10
Speaker 4: that is really a historically low performance for someone who
7:13
Speaker 4: won the Democrat primary. That means nearly half of New
7:16
Speaker 4: York City voters, which is traditionally a Democrat city, voted
7:19
Speaker 4: against Mom Dommi because they know he is so radical,
7:22
Speaker 4: he's out of touch with hard working families, with small
7:25
Speaker 4: businesses who are already crushed by the highest taxes in
7:29
Speaker 4: the nation.
7:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's right, Mom, Donnie. He did get a majority
7:33
Speaker 1: fifty point four percent, but remember he was up against
7:38
Speaker 1: the biggest loser in the world, Andrew Cuomo. Curtis was
7:41
Speaker 1: a good candidate, but remember everybody on earth, every major figure,
7:46
Speaker 1: was telling you not to vote for Curtis, so nobody
7:49
Speaker 1: could have I mean, there's nobody in the history of
7:51
Speaker 1: an election they ever had to shoot greased for them
7:54
Speaker 1: more than Cuomo. I mean, the runway was cleared for
7:57
Speaker 1: him and he still couldn't pull it off. So that's
8:00
Speaker 1: how Mam Donnie Won. Stephanic will be a big, big,
8:04
Speaker 1: tough challenger to Hochell.
8:05
Speaker 4: She's an accidental governor. She's only in this position because
8:09
Speaker 4: she was Cuomo's lieutenant governor and when New Yorkers were
8:12
Speaker 4: looking for strong leadership from a governor. Not to bend
8:15
Speaker 4: the knee to Zorn Mamdami, Kathy Hochel Benthany, Why did
8:19
Speaker 4: she do that? Because she is hemorrhaging support even in
8:22
Speaker 4: her own party among Democrats.
8:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, now she's going to have a lot of people
8:26
Speaker 1: going after But who's going to go after her? Aoc Well,
8:29
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't take her seriously. Schumer is
8:31
Speaker 1: an old, dried up fossil Hakeem Jefferies. He talks like
8:35
Speaker 1: a robot. He talks as he's such a robotic guy.
8:37
Speaker 1: He's already going after Stephanic.
8:39
Speaker 7: You know, at least Stephonic is nothing more than a
8:41
Speaker 7: handmaiden for Donald Trump's extreme policy. She's a sickophant who
8:46
Speaker 7: has been a repeated rubber stamp for Donald Trump's extreme agenda.
8:52
Speaker 1: He's he's one of those guys on the conference call.
8:54
Speaker 1: He repeats whatever he's told to. If the President didn't
8:57
Speaker 1: spend all his time on a golf course. Blah blah
8:59
Speaker 1: blah knows she's supposed to use the word extreme. President
9:02
Speaker 1: Trump's extreme agenda with his extreme policies is extreme, Maga
9:06
Speaker 1: extreme magit. What is so extreme? What extreme policies? What's
9:11
Speaker 1: the most extreme thing? What ice simply enforcing the law?
9:15
Speaker 1: Following the law? That's extreme? Since when there'll be ads
9:20
Speaker 1: against Hochel.
9:20
Speaker 5: Now Elist Devonic is running for governor of New York
9:24
Speaker 5: to do what he's.
9:25
Speaker 1: This is a this is a hocal ad. This is
9:27
Speaker 1: Hokal's actually used against Tefonic.
9:29
Speaker 5: Now Elist Devonic is running for governor of New York
9:32
Speaker 5: to do what she's always done. Put Trump first. She
9:36
Speaker 5: is phenomenal, She is a friend of mine, phenomenal at
9:39
Speaker 5: putting Trump ahead of you.
9:42
Speaker 1: Oh my god, she knows Trump. That's going to be
9:44
Speaker 1: their whole campaign. So here's the problem for Republicans. You're
9:48
Speaker 1: going to have possibly a big primary because Bruce Blakeman,
9:51
Speaker 1: the brilliant county executive, best county executive in America Nassau County.
9:56
Speaker 1: I hear he wants to run. So if he runs
10:00
Speaker 1: against Stephonic, that is one tough choice. Stephonic everybody loves
10:04
Speaker 1: she's a pit bull. She's great. But it's Blakeman who's
10:07
Speaker 1: the actual executive, who has actual management experience running a county,
10:11
Speaker 1: which is like being the governor of Nassau County. So
10:15
Speaker 1: he's the guy with more experience. He's the best county executive.
10:17
Speaker 1: He'd be a great governor. That's a tough choice. That's
10:21
Speaker 1: a very very tough primary. Now, Stephanic would probably do
10:25
Speaker 1: better upstate because she's got that kind of an upstate
10:29
Speaker 1: kind of a sound, and she talks kind of fashions.
10:31
Speaker 1: She's very upstate. Bruce Blakeman is more of a sophisticated
10:34
Speaker 1: city slicker type of guy. But half the votes for
10:38
Speaker 1: governor are right here in New York City. You got
10:39
Speaker 1: to do really well in New York City. I would
10:42
Speaker 1: imagine Blakeman does much better in New York City than Stefanic.
10:47
Speaker 1: He'd have to go upstate and campaign, but got a
10:50
Speaker 1: hell of a hell of a resume. But this is
10:52
Speaker 1: a really tough one for Republicans, a really tough primary
10:57
Speaker 1: coming up next year. Hey, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
11:02
Speaker 1: you know it gets tough. They've cleaned it up. It's
11:05
Speaker 1: a much better Rock and Roll Hall of Fame now
11:06
Speaker 1: than it was a few years ago. But it's tough
11:09
Speaker 1: with you. Like in the year, you know, the first
11:11
Speaker 1: year rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Elvis Beatles. You know,
11:13
Speaker 1: you put everybody in, but when you get the year
11:16
Speaker 1: forty five, you know you're starting to run out of people.
11:18
Speaker 1: So it was it was a bad company. I mean
11:23
Speaker 1: they were okay, bad company, but rock and Roll Hall
11:26
Speaker 1: of Fame. But then you got to perform the Hits
11:30
Speaker 1: A bad company, It's okay. I mean they're not the Beatles,
11:33
Speaker 1: the bad company. They're at the Rolling Stones. You know,
11:37
Speaker 1: you're thirty seven, you run out of pa Hey, we
11:39
Speaker 1: love Cyndi Lauper. Who could not like Cyndi Lapper she
11:41
Speaker 1: got in.
11:42
Speaker 8: I know that I stand on the shoulders of the
11:45
Speaker 8: women in the industry that came before me, and my
11:49
Speaker 8: shoulders are broad enough to have the women that come
11:53
Speaker 8: after me stand online. And and yeah, it's that I
12:00
Speaker 8: thought was really important, which is why I really came
12:03
Speaker 8: here tonight, is to tell you that the little kid
12:08
Speaker 8: and me still believes that rock and roll can save
12:13
Speaker 8: the world. So I just want to say, now, of
12:17
Speaker 8: all times, let's come together again and do good in
12:22
Speaker 8: the world because it needs us.
12:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get right on that, but we love her.
12:28
Speaker 1: Then they got a lot of great performances on the
12:30
Speaker 1: show to be you know, tightened up, edited down, be
12:33
Speaker 1: a great TV special. Elton John performed, Elton John did
12:39
Speaker 1: the Beach Boys hit. Elton John still sounds good. He
12:42
Speaker 1: lost a lot of rains in his voice, but still
12:43
Speaker 1: sounds good. David Letterman there, Santa Claus himself. Warren Zevon
12:49
Speaker 1: gave Letteriman his guitar. I guess he knew he was
12:54
Speaker 1: didn't have much longer to go and told Letterman to
12:56
Speaker 1: take care of it. He brought it to the ceremony.
12:58
Speaker 1: It was used and one of the Sun's Well, here's
13:01
Speaker 1: let him in on that show.
13:02
Speaker 8: And then the thing about enjoy every sandwich. You know
13:05
Speaker 8: that that's easy, but it's deeply meaningful.
13:08
Speaker 1: And there's not a person in this room who hasn't
13:10
Speaker 1: considered that. But nobody can hang on to that on
13:14
Speaker 1: a daily basis. But by God, isn't that true of
13:17
Speaker 1: life around the planet. Yeah, I don't know what he's
13:20
Speaker 1: talking about, but it sounds good. But the beard, the beard,
13:23
Speaker 1: I don't know. He said he has that beard because
13:25
Speaker 1: he doesn't want you to ever confuse him with the
13:27
Speaker 1: old David Letterman. He's like a new, different guy. All right, Hey,
13:31
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie is putting together his team. The five or
13:36
Speaker 1: six names we've seen already are all ex Deblasio administration.
13:39
Speaker 1: One is from the Adams administration. So it's gonna be bad.
13:43
Speaker 1: But again, if it's all these Deblasio people picking de
13:46
Speaker 1: Blasio administration people, we got through eight years at the Blasia.
13:50
Speaker 1: We'll get through this. Now here's the interesting part. Brad Lander,
13:54
Speaker 1: who's a really awful, awful guy. You saw him in
13:57
Speaker 1: the primaries, really kooky, left wing, disgusting. He's Jewish, but
14:01
Speaker 1: he embraced every anti Semitic, stupid, anti Israel thing in
14:06
Speaker 1: the world. So people really just came to really dislike
14:10
Speaker 1: brad Lander. But he was a big help to Mom
14:13
Speaker 1: Donnie in the primary. But they've made it clear no
14:17
Speaker 1: brad Lander in the administration. He's out. They have kicked
14:20
Speaker 1: him to the curb. So there's one good thing Mom
14:23
Speaker 1: Donnie has done. Why would he do that?
14:27
Speaker 2: Is he just so?
14:29
Speaker 1: Does he not have any gratitude? Is he not loyal? Well,
14:33
Speaker 1: people said that behind the scenes brad Lander who's an
14:35
Speaker 1: obnoxious guy, really obnoxious guy, they say behind the scenes.
14:39
Speaker 1: He was running around telling everybody he'll be running city hall.
14:42
Speaker 1: He'll be running things in a Mam Donnie, Well it
14:45
Speaker 1: got back to mom, Donnie. Brad Lander is out, so
14:48
Speaker 1: that's good. Hey, we'll take some calls in a minute.
14:51
Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
14:54
Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten, always ahead
15:00
Speaker 1: of the news. Here's more Marks imone on seven to ten.
15:04
Speaker 8: Wo r Oh my.
15:06
Speaker 1: God, what's going on? I just heard Andy Williams and
15:09
Speaker 1: Jose Peliciano and Christmphy music. And the tree is up
15:12
Speaker 1: in Rockefeller Center. No lights on it yet. They got
15:15
Speaker 1: a decorate hive, but they actually put it up Saturday.
15:18
Speaker 1: Let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
15:21
Speaker 1: how you doing. Good morning, Mark, that's Mike.
15:25
Speaker 9: I think it's pretty obvious that the governor's race it's
15:28
Speaker 9: going to be hulcal slamming Trump and Stephanic trying to
15:34
Speaker 9: slam Mandani. By the way, she should pronounce his name right,
15:37
Speaker 9: because as trivial as it is, it sounds they'll hammer
15:40
Speaker 9: her for it.
15:41
Speaker 1: But I think right, yeah, wa Al Sharpton would say
15:44
Speaker 1: to go Mam Damn.
15:45
Speaker 9: Yeah, I like that. That's okay with me. But right
15:49
Speaker 9: now Trump's name is more toxic than Mom Danny's, and
15:52
Speaker 9: it's unfortunate, and I think Stephonic will run away from Trump.
15:56
Speaker 9: And Hulk mentioned Trump's name in every sentence of every
15:59
Speaker 9: speed each makes, and I think it's really a problem
16:03
Speaker 9: for Stephanic.
16:04
Speaker 1: I don't know, a year from now, you're gonna be
16:06
Speaker 1: better being linked to Trump than to Mom Donnie and.
16:10
Speaker 9: Your mouth to God's ears, I hope.
16:12
Speaker 1: So all right, thanks for Colin. Yeah, yes, you will
16:15
Speaker 1: be linked to Bray. Bruce Blakeman and Trump been very
16:18
Speaker 1: good friends, very close. Trump's a big Bruce Blakeman supporter,
16:21
Speaker 1: so they'll have the same problem too. Let's go to
16:24
Speaker 1: uh Nat in New Hyde Park, Nat. How you doing good?
16:29
Speaker 2: Good?
16:29
Speaker 10: A great show, Mark as usual. I learned more from
16:33
Speaker 10: you than everybody else.
16:35
Speaker 1: Really, we're gonna send you a bill for tuition. We're
16:38
Speaker 1: gonna be like Harvard. We're gonna charge you at ninety
16:40
Speaker 1: five thousand this semester.
16:42
Speaker 10: Go ahead, okay, anyway, I think Stephanic should go up
16:46
Speaker 10: the Schumer's seat. I think she could easily beat AOC,
16:49
Speaker 10: and I think she would make a great senator. And
16:52
Speaker 10: I think Blakeman would be a much better governor.
16:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, that's a very very good point.
16:59
Speaker 1: That's an excellent point. With Schumer running, you know, nobody
17:03
Speaker 1: could ever run against him. Had The problem is when
17:06
Speaker 1: he was in the race, the big Republican donors all
17:09
Speaker 1: wanted him because he that's Schumer's main business donor favors.
17:13
Speaker 1: He takes care of the donors. So the Republicans everybody
17:17
Speaker 1: got behind Schumer. With him out of the race, AOC
17:20
Speaker 1: is not big on those donor favors. For the first time,
17:22
Speaker 1: a Republican would have a shot. It's a statewide race,
17:25
Speaker 1: so Republican would have a shot. Stephani would be great
17:27
Speaker 1: a senator. You're right, that's a good, good idea. Let's
17:31
Speaker 1: go to Vincent and Brooklyn.
17:33
Speaker 2: Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, Good morning, Mara. Mark.
17:38
Speaker 2: Did you see that photo op that Mandami took with
17:40
Speaker 2: his transition team the day after the election? Those women,
17:45
Speaker 2: it looked like it was the escape from the dog pound?
17:48
Speaker 2: Should hand out leashes the dog pound mob? Everybody talking
17:57
Speaker 2: about Trump playing golf, well, at least he's playing golf
18:01
Speaker 2: on golf courses that he built with his own money
18:06
Speaker 2: and his own construction company, whereas Obama was playing basketball
18:12
Speaker 2: at the White House on a two hundred and fifty
18:14
Speaker 2: million dollar basketball court that we, the sucker citizens, paid for.
18:20
Speaker 2: So these people better get their fact straight. Trump is
18:23
Speaker 2: playing on two hours a week, which is actually good
18:28
Speaker 2: physical exercise for a man like him, and we are
18:33
Speaker 2: getting sucking for the bill of Obama's basketball court. Marking
18:39
Speaker 2: the business pages of The New York Post yesterday, Charlie
18:42
Speaker 2: Gasparino had a good article about Zoramondami style alleged takeover everything.
18:50
Speaker 2: Thank god, in nineteen seventy five, you carry and feelix
18:55
Speaker 2: Rohatan they played put in this law called the Financial
19:00
Speaker 2: Emergency Act of nineteen seventy five, most of the TATS revenue,
19:05
Speaker 2: since New York is already on the water, any new
19:08
Speaker 2: tax revenue, the bond holders guy first DIBs on it,
19:12
Speaker 2: not Mandanmi. He doesn't realize. He doesn't realize that a
19:16
Speaker 2: lot of the things he's claiming he's gonna do.
19:18
Speaker 1: And also he knows he can't do. But you're right, Vincent,
19:21
Speaker 1: great call is always great point. Yeah, check out that article.
19:24
Speaker 1: Charlie Gasprino points. I remember New York almost went bankrupt
19:27
Speaker 1: and the bond holders that Arrescue will carry, and those
19:31
Speaker 1: guys put in some real protections against the mom. Donnie.
19:35
Speaker 1: You might not have realized at the time how important
19:37
Speaker 1: it was, but it's going to come into play now
19:39
Speaker 1: to prevent Mamdanni from doing anything too crazy. Hey, when
19:42
Speaker 1: we come back, Miranda Divine will be with us. The
19:45
Speaker 1: Great Columnists coming up next on seven to ten WR.
19:49
Speaker 4: Now back to the Mont Simon Show on WR.
19:54
Speaker 1: Well, Miranda Divine the biggest and best columnist around. You
19:57
Speaker 1: can read a column in The New York Post, make Sure,
20:00
Speaker 1: or an excellent podcast. It's called Pod Force one, Great
20:05
Speaker 1: guests every week. Podforce one is available wherever you get podcasts,
20:08
Speaker 1: and get her latest book, The Big Guys. Whether she's
20:11
Speaker 1: written some great bestsellers. Miranda Devine, how you doing?
20:16
Speaker 3: Hey? Thanks so much, Mike, I'm great.
20:18
Speaker 1: Hey. I love this column about Michelle Obama. What is
20:22
Speaker 1: she doing? She's been on this whining tour complaining about
20:25
Speaker 1: how bad America was to her? What is that? What
20:28
Speaker 1: got into her?
20:31
Speaker 3: Well? My personal theory is that her complaints are just
20:36
Speaker 3: so absurd. You know, she says it was such a
20:39
Speaker 3: burden to have hair and makeup and fashion stylists when
20:43
Speaker 3: she was at the White House, and you know how
20:46
Speaker 3: tough life was. I just think that she's trying to
20:50
Speaker 3: portray herself as a victim because now that the Commings
20:54
Speaker 3: are in charge of her husband's party, she has to
20:58
Speaker 3: kind of stop them asking why she has so many
21:01
Speaker 3: mansions and try and make them feel sorry for her.
21:05
Speaker 1: Ah, that's a good point, but her complaining somebody who
21:10
Speaker 1: has a multiple twenty five million dollar mansions and flying
21:14
Speaker 1: around in private jets all over the place. But it's
21:18
Speaker 1: tough for people like her and Bill Clinton and to
21:22
Speaker 1: go back to obscurity, isn't it. They just can't get
21:26
Speaker 1: off the stage.
21:28
Speaker 3: So hard for them. You know, my heart bleeds. We've
21:32
Speaker 3: got Nancy Pelosi's the other one. She's decided, at the
21:35
Speaker 3: grand old age of eighty five, that she might decide
21:38
Speaker 3: to retire in a couple of years. And I think
21:43
Speaker 3: that she's doing it just in the nick of time
21:46
Speaker 3: before Zoram, you know, tax the rich Mam Danny and
21:50
Speaker 3: his crew take over the party and start asking questions
21:55
Speaker 3: about her little one hundred and forty million dollar hall
21:59
Speaker 3: that she dragging away from her stock tips, very very prescient,
22:05
Speaker 3: her little little, you know, stock market portfolio.
22:11
Speaker 1: That's a very interesting theory that all of these dirty
22:14
Speaker 1: politicians are going into hiding before the Communists take over.
22:18
Speaker 1: But Mamdani so far, the people he's chosen Transition team others,
22:23
Speaker 1: they're all extra Blasio people. So we got through Deblasio
22:27
Speaker 1: for eight years. We'll get through this, won't we.
22:32
Speaker 3: Look, the problem is, I think Deblasio was always high
22:38
Speaker 3: and late to work and I'm off going to his
22:42
Speaker 3: gym in Brooklyn, and you know, he just didn't do
22:45
Speaker 3: a lot, and so he still created Mayhem and the
22:49
Speaker 3: city just went downhill. So palpably on his watch. But
22:55
Speaker 3: Mamdani is more of an ideologue. You know, he's more determined,
22:59
Speaker 3: he has more energy. He really wants to shake up
23:04
Speaker 3: the place. And that's what I worry about. And the
23:07
Speaker 3: other thing is that with Deblasia, we're coming off a
23:12
Speaker 3: pretty good level. You know, it was the Rudy Giuliani
23:15
Speaker 3: Bloomberg City, and so there was a long way to fall.
23:19
Speaker 3: But we don't have a long way to fall anymore.
23:22
Speaker 3: Before we're just off the planet. The city is already
23:27
Speaker 3: difficult to live in. Eric Adams has sort of arrested
23:30
Speaker 3: the decline a little bit, but once he's gone, you know,
23:35
Speaker 3: we're going to have violence interrupters, social workers in lord police.
23:41
Speaker 3: And already we have governors from red states like Ronda
23:46
Speaker 3: Santis in Florida putting out feelers for our NYPD officers.
23:52
Speaker 3: They're going to give them bonuses if they move, and
23:56
Speaker 3: I think it's very difficult for them not to sort
23:59
Speaker 3: of accept, you know, the good ones anyway, not to
24:02
Speaker 3: accept those bribes to leave New York.
24:06
Speaker 1: Hey, Miranda Devine does an excellent podcast, one of the
24:09
Speaker 1: best podcasts out there. It's called Podforce one. The latest
24:13
Speaker 1: one is Eric Trump Boy. That was interesting. Tell us
24:15
Speaker 1: about your impressions of Eric Trump.
24:19
Speaker 3: He is just a really delightful person. And I guess
24:22
Speaker 3: the big takeout I get from all of the Trump
24:27
Speaker 3: five children is just how well adjusted and kind of
24:31
Speaker 3: decent they are. Eric Trump is really, as your father
24:36
Speaker 3: calls him, a good boy. And he described his childhood.
24:40
Speaker 3: His mother, Ivana Trump, was really tough. She was, you know,
24:48
Speaker 3: check from basically behind the iron curtain.
24:52
Speaker 10: She was a champion.
24:53
Speaker 3: Skier and so she really ruled their family with iron discipline.
25:00
Speaker 3: And what Eric said was, if it got past my
25:05
Speaker 3: mum to my father, you knew were really in trouble.
25:08
Speaker 3: But it really didn't because she just made sure that
25:12
Speaker 3: all those energetic kids with type A personalities that Eric
25:17
Speaker 3: describes them were held in line. And their father also
25:22
Speaker 3: during the holidays, got them to go and work on
25:25
Speaker 3: his various construction sites for minimum wage. And Eric said
25:30
Speaker 3: he absolutely loved it, like he loved working with his hands,
25:34
Speaker 3: like they were absolutely exhausted by the end of the day.
25:37
Speaker 3: And his father also said no drinking, no smoking, no drugs,
25:44
Speaker 3: and that was the one ironclad rule for the family.
25:47
Speaker 3: And Eric said, look, by the end of the workday,
25:49
Speaker 3: we were so exhausted, and we also knew how hard
25:54
Speaker 3: it had been to earn that twenty bucks that we
25:58
Speaker 3: you know, he said, I just didn't want to spend
26:00
Speaker 3: on a slab of beer. And he also said that,
26:04
Speaker 3: you know, he went to all the best schools, colleges, etc.
26:07
Speaker 3: And he said most of his peers ended up in
26:11
Speaker 3: rehab or some sort of problem because they had too
26:15
Speaker 3: much time and too much money.
26:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a fascinating podcast, Go listen to its pod
26:21
Speaker 1: Force one. Miranda Divine's podcast latest episode is Eric Trump.
26:25
Speaker 1: So you wrote the definitive book on Hunter Biden. So
26:28
Speaker 1: are you saying Eric Trump was a little better raised
26:31
Speaker 1: than Hunter was.
26:34
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, far better. And look, I don't blame Hunter honestly.
26:39
Speaker 3: His father is just the most treacherous and dishonest politician
26:47
Speaker 3: I think I have ever encountered, and deeply selfish. And
26:51
Speaker 3: so when you know that great tragedy happened in Hunter's
26:55
Speaker 3: life where his mother who was killed in a car crash,
26:58
Speaker 3: and his little sister died as well, and he and
27:02
Speaker 3: his brother were in the back seat quite badly injured.
27:06
Speaker 3: His father had just been elected to the Senate in
27:09
Speaker 3: a fluke, and he could have forgone that great opportunity
27:17
Speaker 3: to stay at home and look after his kids, but
27:19
Speaker 3: he didn't. And I think all of Hunter's problems stemmed
27:24
Speaker 3: from that. He was brought up. You know, his aunt
27:26
Speaker 3: was very decent, his uncle, extended family brought him up,
27:30
Speaker 3: and Joe would come home, he claimed every night on
27:34
Speaker 3: the Amtrak of I hear other stories that when he
27:38
Speaker 3: did come home, it was too late to do anything
27:41
Speaker 3: other than, you know, looking on them when they slept.
27:44
Speaker 3: But anyway, I just don't think he was a very
27:48
Speaker 3: good father. And you know, poor poor Hunter, this motherless kid.
27:57
Speaker 3: And then his stepmother Jill Biden, when she came on
28:00
Speaker 3: the scene a few years later, when she was already
28:03
Speaker 3: on the scene, but when she married Joe moved in,
28:08
Speaker 3: Hunter just felt she didn't like him, and so that
28:11
Speaker 3: was another burden to put up with. So and then
28:14
Speaker 3: his father, you know, instead of letting him be an
28:16
Speaker 3: author or an artist, which is what he wanted, his
28:19
Speaker 3: father made him be the bag man for the family
28:21
Speaker 3: and going to business. And he didn't really want to
28:25
Speaker 3: do that. So you can hardly you can sort of
28:28
Speaker 3: understand why he fell into drugs.
28:31
Speaker 1: Yes, that's pretty interesting, and you have a good heart
28:37
Speaker 1: and a good amount of sympathy for him. You should
28:40
Speaker 1: get her book, Laptop from Hell and The Big Guy,
28:44
Speaker 1: the two best books on the Biden family. So, hey,
28:49
Speaker 1: we only got a minute left. Tell me you brought
28:50
Speaker 1: this up last time. This was so fascinating. I got
28:53
Speaker 1: so much reaction to this. The reason for the Trump
28:55
Speaker 1: to arrangements in him, the reason they hate him so much.
28:57
Speaker 1: It's what was it? You said? It was the masky
29:00
Speaker 1: He's like a daddy why do they hate him so much?
29:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it really is deranged. It really seems
29:10
Speaker 3: to be a psychological problem, and women are particularly afflicted,
29:15
Speaker 3: and it just seems like they have daddy problems. You know,
29:19
Speaker 3: he is unabashedly a throwback masculine, you know, something that
29:25
Speaker 3: the left has been trying to stab out for the
29:28
Speaker 3: last twenty years, calling it toxic masculinity, making little boys
29:33
Speaker 3: be ashamed of their intrinsic natures, which you know, those
29:37
Speaker 3: intrinsic natures that would have allowed civilization to survive human flourishing.
29:44
Speaker 3: And you know, you stamp out strong men, what do
29:47
Speaker 3: you get? You get a lot of toxic females. And
29:50
Speaker 3: I think that's what trump derangements and joy me. I mean,
29:53
Speaker 3: I write about Jennifer Welsh, who's this atheist podcaster I
29:57
Speaker 3: had never heard of until just recently been elevated as
30:01
Speaker 3: the kind of Democrats answer to Joe Rogan. And she
30:05
Speaker 3: is the most toxic person I have ever seen in
30:09
Speaker 3: my life, really, just so such a self hating white woman.
30:15
Speaker 3: She was there at Mamdani's victory party and she's just
30:19
Speaker 3: going on about she's talking to two non white people
30:24
Speaker 3: who lefties and she's just talking about how, oh, if
30:28
Speaker 3: there were white people here at this party, the music
30:31
Speaker 3: would be terrible, and Americans have no culture, and we
30:35
Speaker 3: need to teach the crusty old white people about culture.
30:39
Speaker 3: We have to teach them. She's just scary, scary woman.
30:44
