0:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is no mark. Someone show on sevent ten Wolaw.
0:12
Speaker 1: Well it's Friday already. Well, remember it's just a four
0:15
Speaker 1: day week. But we got a lot to get to today,
0:18
Speaker 1: and it looks like it looks like it's going to
0:20
Speaker 1: rain all day. Then it'll stop raining tonight, no rain tonight,
0:24
Speaker 1: and then tomorrow'll be okay. Sunday, there is a possibility
0:28
Speaker 1: of snow, but it looks like it's just one to
0:29
Speaker 1: three inches, maybe one inch, and that storm could change direction,
0:33
Speaker 1: so we'll keep an eye on that. President Trump has
0:36
Speaker 1: said Iran has ten to fifteen days, ten to fifteen
0:41
Speaker 1: days to come to the bargaining table, work out a deal,
0:45
Speaker 1: or else. Now remember he loves that ten to fifteen days.
0:49
Speaker 1: He's done that a number of times in other situations.
0:51
Speaker 1: Ten to fifteen days and then forty eight hours later
0:55
Speaker 1: he attacks, So don't count in that ten to fifteen days.
0:58
Speaker 1: A lot of people, this is just Washington rumor at
1:01
Speaker 1: this point say Saturdays the day for the attack, but
1:05
Speaker 1: who knows? Who knows? And then some say, well, he
1:07
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it before the State of the Union. You
1:09
Speaker 1: never know, You never know with him, they may have
1:11
Speaker 1: an attack figured out that so precise, so clever can't
1:14
Speaker 1: miss that. They would do it before the State of
1:17
Speaker 1: the Union. Here's President Trump.
1:18
Speaker 2: Now is the time for Iran to join us on
1:21
Speaker 2: a path that will complete what we're doing.
1:25
Speaker 1: And if they join us, that'll be great.
1:26
Speaker 2: If they don't join us, that'll be great too, but
1:29
Speaker 2: it would be a very different path.
1:32
Speaker 1: Now, sometimes he does a little strike, just a little
1:35
Speaker 1: something to motivate you if you're not quite at the table,
1:38
Speaker 1: a little strike first, So that could happen Saturday.
1:40
Speaker 2: Warren Gaza is over.
1:42
Speaker 1: That's another word. We'll get to that a little later.
1:46
Speaker 1: Ten to fifteen days. State of the Union is Tuesday night,
1:51
Speaker 1: and he's got a lot to talk about. You know,
1:53
Speaker 1: they've created this whole affordability myth. I mean, there has
1:56
Speaker 1: been an affordability crisis caused by Joe Biden where he
1:59
Speaker 1: had inflation up to nine percent, a staggering amount, and
2:04
Speaker 1: thing's a mess. The President has brought it down. You
2:07
Speaker 1: got inflation hovering around two and a half percent now
2:10
Speaker 1: and slowly but surely dropping. The latest report up a little,
2:15
Speaker 1: but overall down. So he's got to explain that to
2:19
Speaker 1: the American people, that this affordability crisis that's been there
2:23
Speaker 1: is getting much better now. He's got to be careful.
2:25
Speaker 1: Advisors have been telling this, don't say it's solved, don't
2:29
Speaker 1: say you fixed it, because people still feel it. So
2:32
Speaker 1: you've got to say, here's what we've gotten done, here's
2:35
Speaker 1: the improvement. We're not done yet, here's what's coming. So
2:38
Speaker 1: you got to do it that way. We'll talk about
2:40
Speaker 1: a Tuesday night.
2:41
Speaker 2: It would say affordable that everybody would say, oh, Trump's course, No,
2:44
Speaker 2: they crossed. They caused the affordability problem and we've solved
2:48
Speaker 2: it and we're going still lower, but we've solved it.
2:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. You got to tone that down
2:55
Speaker 1: for the State of the Union. This is what they're
2:57
Speaker 1: telling Trump, but you're not always listening to everybody.
3:00
Speaker 2: Prodd a mess with high prices and high inflation, and
3:03
Speaker 2: we've turned it around and we've made it great. And
3:06
Speaker 2: they don't mention. Like I said before, they don't mention
3:09
Speaker 2: the word affordability, Kelly, they don't mention. I haven't heard
3:13
Speaker 2: the word in two weeks, all right.
3:14
Speaker 1: That's tim ed living. State of the Union is a
3:16
Speaker 1: written speech. Hopefully it'll be a little a little more
3:19
Speaker 1: toned down there. A little more on message on Tuesday night. Hey,
3:25
Speaker 1: the ballroom the Trump wants to build got a big
3:29
Speaker 1: step forward yesterday it got approved. There's two basic steps
3:34
Speaker 1: you got to do to get the whole thing done.
3:38
Speaker 1: But there's the Washington d C. Commission of Fine Arts.
3:41
Speaker 1: They've got to approve it. Well, they did unanimously approved
3:44
Speaker 1: the ballroom yesterday. Now he's got to go to the
3:46
Speaker 1: National Capital Planning Commission and get it done there on
3:50
Speaker 1: March fifth, and then go ahead. If you look at
3:52
Speaker 1: what's going on at the ballroom, they've leveled everything and
3:56
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of construction equipment there. It's a big
3:58
Speaker 1: construction site. Now they're ready to go. And Trump is
4:02
Speaker 1: an amazing builder when it comes to speed. Even his
4:07
Speaker 1: competition will say that, you know, when you see a
4:09
Speaker 1: Trump building go up now in the middle of Manhattan,
4:11
Speaker 1: the one across from the un or wherever he's building
4:14
Speaker 1: a huge skyscraper, it's amazing. Six months later it's there.
4:18
Speaker 1: I mean, he gets it done very fast and clean
4:21
Speaker 1: and neat. If you notice first avenue was the un
4:25
Speaker 1: plazas across the street the Great Apartment building and a
4:29
Speaker 1: lot of stuff there, a lot of other buildings that
4:30
Speaker 1: were concerned about Trump this construction. He basically he took
4:34
Speaker 1: up about half a lane of the street and got
4:37
Speaker 1: it done real fast. So you'll see that with the ballroom,
4:39
Speaker 1: the ballroom. If you get the approval, the ballroom will
4:42
Speaker 1: be there by the fall. I know, it's hard to believe.
4:45
Speaker 1: And he says it'll be the most spectacular ballroom ever
4:49
Speaker 1: built in America. Of course, Democrats will yell and scream
4:52
Speaker 1: and one day going to get a Democratic president. Would
4:55
Speaker 1: he have the nerve to tear it down because it's
4:58
Speaker 1: the Trump ballroom? Would he have the nerve? It's huge,
5:01
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I don't like. It's too big.
5:03
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you got to make it that big.
5:05
Speaker 1: But if you look at the building, it's like the
5:06
Speaker 1: same size as the White House in some ways even bigger.
5:09
Speaker 1: But would a Democrat have the nerve to tear it down?
5:14
Speaker 3: I don't know.
5:14
Speaker 1: That's a big step. So latest on Nancy Guthrie, there
5:18
Speaker 1: is no latest. A couple of little things. They've increased
5:21
Speaker 1: the reward to two hundred thousand. That's still very low
5:26
Speaker 1: for such a big case. It's two hundred thousand right now.
5:31
Speaker 1: The President who's put everything he's got on. He's got
5:34
Speaker 1: four hundred people on the ground working on this. He's
5:37
Speaker 1: not happy with the locals, and he keeps yelling at
5:41
Speaker 1: all the people on the ground, do more, find more.
5:44
Speaker 1: He doesn't like the local sheriff, who's a bit of
5:47
Speaker 1: a bumbler. Now, for instance, they've got some drones flying
5:52
Speaker 1: around with bluetooth something in there. Apparently they think there's
5:56
Speaker 1: a way they can detect the pacemaker through bluetooth. So
6:01
Speaker 1: they've got low flying drones going everywhere seeing they can
6:03
Speaker 1: spot that pacemaker. They've announced this, and as President Trump
6:06
Speaker 1: correctly points out, don't announce that. Don't tell them what
6:11
Speaker 1: you're going to do. If you got a clue or
6:12
Speaker 1: some evidence you're looking for, don't put it out in
6:14
Speaker 1: public and let the criminals know you're looking for that,
6:17
Speaker 1: because God knows what they do with that pacemaker if
6:20
Speaker 1: they think it's going to get them caught. So if
6:22
Speaker 1: you've got this technology, keep it quiet, just use it.
6:26
Speaker 1: Don't announce it. The sheriff being an absolute idiot announcing that.
6:30
Speaker 1: The only other thing development. You know that holster in
6:34
Speaker 1: the doorbell video. You could see that holster, the guy
6:36
Speaker 1: head in the front. Apparently it's the world's cheapest, crummiest holster. It's,
6:42
Speaker 1: as they put it out, nobody that knows what they're
6:44
Speaker 1: doing would use that holster. No professional criminal would use
6:47
Speaker 1: that holster. A gun store wouldn't even bother to carry it.
6:51
Speaker 1: It's just a cheap, one size fits all holstered, really
6:55
Speaker 1: cheap piece of crap that you could get on Amazon
6:58
Speaker 1: or something. So they based on that. They don't think
7:00
Speaker 1: there's any kind of professional criminal that knows what they're doing.
7:05
Speaker 1: That's basically about it. They're trying to get to Mexico
7:07
Speaker 1: to help. They believe she may be across the border.
7:10
Speaker 1: Apparently Mexican officials not being too cooperative. Latest on Prince Andrew.
7:17
Speaker 1: He has been released. They held him there all day.
7:20
Speaker 1: He was in custody all day long. Apparently Prince Andrew
7:23
Speaker 1: was in bed asleep. It was eight in the morning.
7:28
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a royal. You don't have to get
7:30
Speaker 1: up till noon. You got nothing to do all day.
7:32
Speaker 1: But he was in bed asleep when all of a
7:34
Speaker 1: sudden police detectives were shaking him and waking him up,
7:39
Speaker 1: and apparently he got very upset. You know, he's Prince Andrew.
7:43
Speaker 1: He's a prince, he's royal. He's not used to police
7:46
Speaker 1: even having a nerve to come into his house or
7:48
Speaker 1: his bedroom, but to wake him up and try to
7:49
Speaker 1: drag him out of bed. Apparently put up quite a fight.
7:53
Speaker 1: He was not happy about being bothered by the police.
7:56
Speaker 1: He got very very aggressive, arrogant, crazy with them. That
8:02
Speaker 1: maybe the reason they held them all day. Now they've
8:06
Speaker 1: been going through his houses. He's got two houses. They've
8:10
Speaker 1: been searching everything. That usually means taking his computers and
8:13
Speaker 1: looking through his computers. And it's Prince Andrew. Can you
8:18
Speaker 1: imagine what's in those computers? Imagine what he has on there?
8:22
Speaker 1: Who knows what kind of porn, what kind of this,
8:25
Speaker 1: what kind of that? President Trump asked him about it.
8:28
Speaker 2: I'm the expert in a way, because I've been totally exalerated.
8:31
Speaker 1: It's very nice.
8:32
Speaker 2: I can actually speak about it very nicely.
8:34
Speaker 1: I think it's a shame. I think it's very sad.
8:37
Speaker 1: I think it's so bad for the royal family. It's
8:40
Speaker 1: a very very sad to me.
8:41
Speaker 2: It's a very sad thing when I see that, it's
8:43
Speaker 2: a very sad thing.
8:46
Speaker 1: The last time I remember the Royal family was arrested
8:49
Speaker 1: was four hundred years ago. I hate to say this.
8:53
Speaker 1: I believe he was executed the one that was a
8:55
Speaker 1: King Charles the First or some I think he was
8:58
Speaker 1: executed or life in prison. It was something very very bad.
9:02
Speaker 1: Now Andrew is not accused of anything sexual with Epstein
9:07
Speaker 1: in these charges. This is a different matter. This is
9:11
Speaker 1: all about he was giving Epstein classified documents. Andrew was
9:18
Speaker 1: at the time the favorite son of the queen, so
9:22
Speaker 1: she got him a big job as the trade envoy.
9:26
Speaker 1: He was not at all qualified for it. Everybody said
9:29
Speaker 1: he's stunk at the job, but he and they had
9:31
Speaker 1: to send a lot of professionals with him to work
9:34
Speaker 1: out these deals all over. He visited all these countries
9:36
Speaker 1: as the trade envoy, but you had access. He had
9:40
Speaker 1: access to all the documents. And these are documents that
9:43
Speaker 1: show what's going to happen around the world, country by country,
9:47
Speaker 1: what's going to get built, what's going to happen, what's
9:49
Speaker 1: going to open up. This is very valuable information to
9:53
Speaker 1: certain business people who could make a fortune with this
9:56
Speaker 1: advance information. But it's highly classified and they could see
10:01
Speaker 1: in the Epstein files in writing Andrew passing the stuff
10:04
Speaker 1: along to Epstein. They both knew it was classified. They
10:08
Speaker 1: both knew it was top secret. He passed it along
10:11
Speaker 1: to Epstein numerous times, Epstein passing it along to business people.
10:16
Speaker 1: It's a kind of a form of insider trading now,
10:21
Speaker 1: leaking classified information. It's one thing of its military secrets
10:24
Speaker 1: or the nation's defense. This is all financial stuff, this
10:28
Speaker 1: is all business stuff, but it's still leaking classified documents.
10:31
Speaker 1: It's very serious stuff. You go to prison for something
10:35
Speaker 1: like that. So Andrew's got a major, major, major problem.
10:40
Speaker 1: Now you heard President Trump saying that clip, Well, I've
10:41
Speaker 1: been totally exonerated. He's going to say that a lot
10:44
Speaker 1: because it drives the left nuts. He has been exonerated
10:48
Speaker 1: in the Epstein stuff in the sense that everybody's been
10:53
Speaker 1: through the five million pages now, especially the media, especially
10:58
Speaker 1: Trump's enemies. They can't find a thing in there that's
11:01
Speaker 1: damaging to Trump. Nothing. And you'll hear on MSNBC they'll
11:06
Speaker 1: say something like Trump's name comes up in the Epstein
11:08
Speaker 1: files four hundred and twenty thousand times. Well it does,
11:13
Speaker 1: but if you look at every one of those times,
11:15
Speaker 1: it's Epstein bad mouthing Trump. They were big enemies, they
11:19
Speaker 1: had been friends very early in the Epstein very early
11:23
Speaker 1: in the Epstein years, when he first got the Palm
11:25
Speaker 1: Beach and he was friendly with Trump. But as soon
11:27
Speaker 1: as Trump got got wind of his stuff, he cut
11:31
Speaker 1: him off immediately. Had didn't speak to him for a
11:34
Speaker 1: couple of decades, and apparently Epstein was very very bitter
11:38
Speaker 1: about it, so they became huge enemies. If you read
11:41
Speaker 1: the Epstein files, and he should, that's fascinating stuff in there.
11:45
Speaker 1: He just hated Trump. He hated Trump. He was trying
11:48
Speaker 1: to do everything he could to end Trump. He and
11:50
Speaker 1: Bannon are plotting on how to get rid of Trump,
11:52
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment, that kind of stuff. And then
11:55
Speaker 1: that sleesball dirty writer that the fiction writer Michael Wolfe's mill.
12:02
Speaker 1: He was very friendly with Epstein. There's a million emails
12:05
Speaker 1: back and forth them bad mouthing Trump. So all that's
12:08
Speaker 1: in there is that Epstein hated Trump and there were
12:11
Speaker 1: big enemies. So he was exonerated. And when every time
12:14
Speaker 1: you say that, it drives them nuts. Here's Morning Joe
12:17
Speaker 1: this Morning, yelling, screaming for ten minutes about warning Trump
12:21
Speaker 1: not to claim you're totally exonerated. Well, he is totally exonerated.
12:26
Speaker 1: There's nothing, nothing in those Epstein files that will harm
12:29
Speaker 1: him in any way. So we'll see what happens with
12:33
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew. I think the next court date for him
12:35
Speaker 1: is March fifth. Leslie Wexner is a billionaire who is
12:42
Speaker 1: very old now he's eighty eight, but way back when,
12:45
Speaker 1: when he was a guy in his fifties, he was
12:47
Speaker 1: one of the first billionaires that teamed up with Epstein
12:50
Speaker 1: and gave him lots of money. In fact, if you
12:52
Speaker 1: study the whole history of Epstein, there's a lot of
12:55
Speaker 1: billionaires along the way that helped him become the multimillionaire
12:59
Speaker 1: of One of the first was Wexner, who was a
13:02
Speaker 1: big entrepreneur. He owned the limited Bath and body Works
13:07
Speaker 1: or whatever that he known Abercrombie and Fitch. He oarned
13:10
Speaker 1: a lot of companies, so he was the first to
13:13
Speaker 1: pour millions and millions into Epstein's wealth management fund. He
13:18
Speaker 1: had to testify yesterday. He's eighty eight now, and from
13:22
Speaker 1: what everybody can see, he had nothing to do with
13:25
Speaker 1: any kind of women, sex, none of that. His relationship
13:28
Speaker 1: with Epstein was all business. He testified to that although
13:33
Speaker 1: the Democrats on a committee, you know, they asked him,
13:35
Speaker 1: did you ever have any women that you met through
13:38
Speaker 1: at No. Then they asked did you ever have sex
13:41
Speaker 1: with Epstein? He looked at his stunned and said no,
13:45
Speaker 1: and a couple of times he started to open up
13:48
Speaker 1: at length, and his lawyer kept getting mad, and at
13:50
Speaker 1: one point the lawyer said to Wexner, if you blanken,
13:54
Speaker 1: if you efin answer one more question at length with
13:58
Speaker 1: more than five words, I'm going to kill you now.
14:00
Speaker 1: They both looked at each other and kind of smiled,
14:02
Speaker 1: but he made the point. So the hearings will continue.
14:06
Speaker 1: A big thing will be Hillary and Bill Clinton. They're
14:09
Speaker 1: going to have to try to explain why they got
14:11
Speaker 1: so involved with Epstein. Not just a Bill with girls,
14:14
Speaker 1: but but Hillary with Epstein, getting him to begin and
14:20
Speaker 1: first fund and help found and start the Clinton Global Initiative.
14:25
Speaker 1: It was Epstein all involved in that, and if you
14:27
Speaker 1: read through the documents, you could see that they thought
14:31
Speaker 1: they were creating the new Davos, the new World Economic Forum.
14:35
Speaker 1: The Davos is where the billionaires go in January. For them,
14:38
Speaker 1: they were trying to create another one of those events,
14:41
Speaker 1: but unlike Davos, the Clinton one seemed to be also
14:45
Speaker 1: a very profitable thing. It was supposed to be the
14:47
Speaker 1: exchange of ideas seemed to be more the exchange of
14:50
Speaker 1: funds and money. It became a very profitable enterprise. But
14:54
Speaker 1: Epstein very involved in the creation of the Clinton Global Initiative.
14:59
Speaker 1: And then she's going to I have to explain her
15:01
Speaker 1: lies over the last couple of months. Gallaiine Maxwell, when
15:04
Speaker 1: she was asked, she said, I don't don't recall ever
15:08
Speaker 1: meeting her. I don't really know her. Then they look
15:11
Speaker 1: at the photos of Chelsea's wedding. There's Gallaid Maxwell right
15:15
Speaker 1: in the front there at the wedding. Hillary had a
15:18
Speaker 1: change your story. Well, I may have met her a
15:21
Speaker 1: couple of times. So she's going to get pinned down
15:24
Speaker 1: on that. But they got good lawyers. Hillary's not so
15:27
Speaker 1: great at the committees. Remember she tends to get angry.
15:30
Speaker 1: Remember the Ben Gazi hearings that she's yelling at. What
15:33
Speaker 1: difference does it make? So she always loses an hearing.
15:36
Speaker 1: But Bill Bill Clinton will be perfect. You can ask
15:39
Speaker 1: that guy anything. He'll talk his way out of anything.
15:42
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton will just give you one of those well
15:44
Speaker 1: you know always, you know, I you know when you
15:49
Speaker 1: do that sounds like you're thinking, but actually you're stalling.
15:52
Speaker 1: But if you read the the whole story of Epstein,
15:56
Speaker 1: he's basically the Great Gatsby. It's the same exact story.
16:01
Speaker 1: It's the same story that everybody knew the guy just
16:03
Speaker 1: like Gatsby. He was this very wealthy, mysterious guy. But boy,
16:08
Speaker 1: he threw the most incredible parties, and he lived in
16:10
Speaker 1: a mansion, and nobody knew where he came from, and
16:13
Speaker 1: there were always whispers that whatever business he did was shady.
16:16
Speaker 1: Sort of. He was exactly the Great Gatsby, exactly the same,
16:21
Speaker 1: the Great Gatstein. We'll call him the Great Gatstein. Hey,
16:25
Speaker 1: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two
16:28
Speaker 1: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
16:31
Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten. Set up pre sat on
16:34
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app to woor to hear Mark live. Set
16:39
Speaker 1: another for Mark's podcast to hear him anytime. Now back
16:43
Speaker 1: to Mark Simone on woor. Hey, let's take some cause.
16:49
Speaker 1: Let's go to Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart, how you doing, Hey, Mark?
16:54
Speaker 4: Are you?
16:55
Speaker 5: I just want to mention the I cannot believe this.
16:57
Speaker 5: He announced about this pacemaker when someone dies, that pacemaker
17:01
Speaker 5: keeps working, it keeps sending signals.
17:04
Speaker 1: Really, Stuart's a long time police officer, police official.
17:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's just unbelievable that they would even mention
17:13
Speaker 5: that that's a possibility because most people don't know that.
17:16
Speaker 1: Hey about how would you how would you have a drone?
17:18
Speaker 1: How would it pick up that signal?
17:21
Speaker 5: Just you know, all of them have their own personal
17:23
Speaker 5: type signals on it. And these drones are so sensitive
17:27
Speaker 5: the things that they put on them. They can pick
17:29
Speaker 5: up minute impulses. So it's just a shot in the dark.
17:34
Speaker 5: You know, Like I said, I told you once before.
17:36
Speaker 5: Well I didn't come out and say it, but I
17:38
Speaker 5: thought this woman was gone shortly after she was taken.
17:41
Speaker 5: But it's a possibility. You know, when I heard that
17:44
Speaker 5: he had dropped the glove or thrown it out two
17:47
Speaker 5: miles from the scene, or thrown it out anywhere, I
17:50
Speaker 5: knew this guy is a complete idiot, because you don't
17:52
Speaker 5: take evidence and throw it out, you'd burn it. So
17:55
Speaker 5: there's no possibility of DNA evidence. So this guy's not
17:58
Speaker 5: very bright.
17:58
Speaker 1: Now let me ask another question. If you kidnapped an
18:00
Speaker 1: eighty four year old woman who's not mobile, and you've
18:03
Speaker 1: held her for two weeks. How would you be holding it?
18:05
Speaker 1: Would you ever locked up in a closet and a
18:07
Speaker 1: room tied up? How would you.
18:09
Speaker 5: That's the only thing I can think of. I don't
18:12
Speaker 5: think she lasted very long, so he would probably bury
18:15
Speaker 5: her or I don't know if he's near lakes or anything,
18:17
Speaker 5: but that's the only possibility that I could think of.
18:20
Speaker 5: And if he still has access to the body when
18:23
Speaker 5: he heard about the pacemaker, he's going to be cutting
18:26
Speaker 5: that thing out.
18:27
Speaker 1: Oh good, But I've just I hate to even bring
18:30
Speaker 1: all this up, but a woman that age, you got
18:34
Speaker 1: her locked up, tied up, whatever, too, She's not going
18:36
Speaker 1: to last and you're not feeding her properly. She does
18:38
Speaker 1: never medicine.
18:40
Speaker 5: No, No, I think it was a spur of the
18:42
Speaker 5: moment thing. He took her on an impulse and then
18:44
Speaker 5: didn't know what the world to do with her. I said, I.
18:47
Speaker 5: You know, when we spoke the other day, you asked
18:50
Speaker 5: if criminals are very bright, and I said, there's probably
18:52
Speaker 5: some of the most stupid people I've ever met in
18:55
Speaker 5: my life, but I think this guy was one of them.
18:58
Speaker 1: He's an idiot. Terrible So well, Stuart, great call, Thanks
19:01
Speaker 1: for calling. Let's go to Blauvelt in Florida. Blouvelt, how
19:05
Speaker 1: you doing?
19:07
Speaker 4: Mark? Some all the morning, say how are you good?
19:11
Speaker 4: The show is the best? Hey.
19:12
Speaker 3: I noticed on this last this new round of government shutdown,
19:17
Speaker 3: that they didn't involve the TSA this time, so there'd
19:19
Speaker 3: be all the politicians are able to fly in and
19:21
Speaker 3: out with no headaches.
19:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but you caught that, huh.
19:25
Speaker 4: Yeah.
19:25
Speaker 1: TSA is always exempt because a couple of things you
19:29
Speaker 1: might not notice. TSA is always exempt because all these
19:31
Speaker 1: congressmen and women are in the airport every Friday and
19:34
Speaker 1: Sunday Monday. They're always flying back and forth, and you
19:38
Speaker 1: never hear them pick on the Transportation secretary ever, because
19:43
Speaker 1: it's right now, it's Sean Duffy. Transportation secretaries know, you
19:47
Speaker 1: go to every man and woman in Congress and say
19:50
Speaker 1: here's my cell phone. You ever have a problem, you
19:51
Speaker 1: call me. Here's my cell number. So that way, when
19:54
Speaker 1: they ever have a problem getting home, they're in the
19:56
Speaker 1: airport any but they can call them, and because of
19:59
Speaker 1: that relationship, they never go after him publicly. Let's go
20:03
Speaker 1: to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing?
20:06
Speaker 3: Good morning? Okay, good morning matter? Mark? Just as I
20:10
Speaker 3: said yesterday that when the city raises the property taxes,
20:16
Speaker 3: it goes through everything like Martezuba's revenge and lo and
20:20
Speaker 3: behold I'm reading. I still read the pay per form
20:25
Speaker 3: of the paper in the New York Post yesterday on
20:29
Speaker 3: page twenty nine and page seventeen day detailed the electric
20:35
Speaker 3: price increases and the gas prices increases for all the
20:39
Speaker 3: various types of buildings residential, religious, church and according to
20:46
Speaker 3: how many killowats you use, folks. As I said, it
20:51
Speaker 3: goes through everything. The city, the city government in these
20:56
Speaker 3: blue cities and states are the causes of you not
21:01
Speaker 3: being able to pay your bills? Bottom line, I said
21:05
Speaker 3: it at one month to the day, because.
21:07
Speaker 1: You're right bottom line, Vincent, Why are you still reading
21:10
Speaker 1: the paper edition of the newspaper? Why an't you reading
21:12
Speaker 1: it online?
21:14
Speaker 3: I don't know. Sometimes when it's online. My first off,
21:18
Speaker 3: my girlfriend got it online years ago. And when I
21:21
Speaker 3: try to score to find something.
21:23
Speaker 1: It's different now, Vincent, it's all perfected. First of all,
21:26
Speaker 1: you buy the newspaper, everything in there's thirty six hours old.
21:29
Speaker 1: It's thirty five stories. If you go online, everything's up
21:33
Speaker 1: to the minute. It's one hundred and fifty stories.
21:35
Speaker 3: It's yeah, but I got I get Fox News.
21:37
Speaker 1: I know, but the newspaper go online, you know, like,
21:40
Speaker 1: let's take the New York Post. I think it's about
21:43
Speaker 1: eighty maybe seventy five eighty thousand read the print edition
21:46
Speaker 1: and three and a half million on the online edition.
21:49
Speaker 3: So well, I guess I have to get the knack
21:52
Speaker 3: of scroll and food the pages, because when I try
21:56
Speaker 3: and do it, if I want to get the page five,
21:58
Speaker 3: I wind up on page fifty fifty five.
22:01
Speaker 1: No, no, it's all different now, it's all different.
22:02
Speaker 3: Now.
22:03
Speaker 1: Go to the New York Post website. It's great. They
22:05
Speaker 1: updated like every minute. It's updated when you get the
22:08
Speaker 1: print shop. Print edition was done like twenty seven hours ago.
22:12
Speaker 3: Mark, did you see that for Black History Month at
22:15
Speaker 3: the White House? Trump with that African American grandmother. That
22:20
Speaker 3: was absolutely phenomenal. I heard it over the radio the
22:25
Speaker 3: other night, and yesterday I saw it on the cell phone.
22:29
Speaker 3: That was absolutely great. They're calling this woman actually America's grandmother.
22:35
Speaker 1: She's great. She was fantastic, Vincent, great stuff. We got.
22:38
Speaker 1: We gotta go because hey, when we come back, Alan's
22:40
Speaker 1: wide bell will be with us. She's very close to Uh,
22:42
Speaker 1: it was very close to Rob Reiner and Rob Reiner's family.
22:45
Speaker 1: I know he's been out there with him. Let's maybe
22:47
Speaker 1: you'll give us an update on how they're doing, and
22:49
Speaker 1: we'll talk to him about a lot of stuff coming
22:51
Speaker 1: up next on seven to ten WR.
22:54
Speaker 6: You're listening to, Well, Alan's Why Belle, the great writer, producer, comedian,
23:04
Speaker 6: best selling author has written a great book about his
23:06
Speaker 6: life and his career.
23:07
Speaker 1: You should get it. It's called Laughlines. Laughlines, Great book
23:10
Speaker 1: by Alan's White Bell. Also follow him on Instagram and
23:13
Speaker 1: Twitter and all that stuff. Alan's Why Belle.
23:15
Speaker 4: How you doing, I'm great, Mark, how you doing?
23:18
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good.
23:19
Speaker 5: Hey.
23:20
Speaker 1: You were very very close to Rob Reiner and you've
23:23
Speaker 1: been with the family. How they doing? How's everything going
23:25
Speaker 1: for them?
23:26
Speaker 4: Well, you know it's my wife is more in touch
23:29
Speaker 4: with the two kids than I am. You know, we've
23:34
Speaker 4: shanged some texts now and then, but he's actually spoken
23:38
Speaker 4: with them, and you can only imagine. You can only imagine.
23:42
Speaker 4: You get two kids whose parents were taken away by
23:47
Speaker 4: their brother, and you know, as far as we're concerned,
23:52
Speaker 4: I did a lot of movies with Rob. We were
23:55
Speaker 4: very very close. The two families, and we were at
23:59
Speaker 4: their house when they brought their children home from the
24:03
Speaker 4: hospital after they were born. So it goes back a
24:06
Speaker 4: long way, and I think that those of us who
24:10
Speaker 4: are closest with them are still traumatized.
24:14
Speaker 1: To be frank, you know, Well, well let's get off there,
24:17
Speaker 1: let's get onto something happy, let's talk about something else.
24:20
Speaker 1: But thanks for the update. But hey, what's the National
24:24
Speaker 1: Comedy Center? I see it on your Instagram? The National
24:26
Speaker 1: Comedy Center. What is that?
24:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it's this great place. It's in Jamestown,
24:33
Speaker 4: New York. So you fly into Buffalo, you make a left,
24:38
Speaker 4: and then go for a couple of hours.
24:40
Speaker 1: Okay, well there's a great location. Who picked this location?
24:44
Speaker 4: Well, I think they picked it because Lucille Bull was
24:47
Speaker 4: born there.
24:48
Speaker 1: Oh okay, oh Jamestown.
24:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Jamestown.
24:52
Speaker 4: But but we've been there a handful of times, and
24:57
Speaker 4: it's it's not a hall of same as much as
25:01
Speaker 4: it is. It's a center for all kinds of comedy.
25:06
Speaker 4: And it's high tech. So if you put in somebody's
25:09
Speaker 4: name in the computer when you walk in, it will
25:12
Speaker 4: tell you everything they did, everything they worked with the
25:15
Speaker 4: films of Lucy and ethel on the on the conveyor
25:20
Speaker 4: conveyor belt, you know, all kinds of these great sort
25:24
Speaker 4: of They have Harper Marx's celts, the bottle, it's got
25:30
Speaker 4: George Colin's notes, Carl Reiner, uh he gave them all
25:35
Speaker 4: of his uh, his papers. So it's quite it's more
25:39
Speaker 4: like a high tech library, but with a lot of visuals.
25:45
Speaker 4: And what's really fun, Oh, Mark, you love this. They
25:48
Speaker 4: have a bench that if you sit on the bench
25:53
Speaker 4: a thought sound comes back. Okay. And so I was
25:58
Speaker 4: up there with Lorraine Newman. We were doing something up there,
26:01
Speaker 4: and we were sitting on the couch and there's ten
26:04
Speaker 4: different kinds of farts and I was trying to figure out.
26:08
Speaker 4: I asked the director. I said, okay, so you had
26:11
Speaker 4: this idea for a far couch. Fine, was there more
26:15
Speaker 4: than one draft of it? Did a couple of them
26:18
Speaker 4: come in and say, yes, those eight of those are good,
26:20
Speaker 4: but you're got to work on the other two. But
26:22
Speaker 4: it's that's not exactly the high Row part of it.
26:27
Speaker 4: There is a room upstairs that they call the Blue Room,
26:30
Speaker 4: where they have footage of Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor
26:36
Speaker 4: and people who were considered you know, off collar or
26:39
Speaker 4: revolutionary at the time. It's really if you happen to
26:43
Speaker 4: be in Jamestown, Like if you lose a bet and
26:46
Speaker 4: you happen to be in Jamestown, you should go there.
26:50
Speaker 4: It's a really great place. And I think it was.
26:53
Speaker 4: It just won Museum of the Year.
26:58
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
26:59
Speaker 4: So it's it's it's really quite terrific.
27:01
Speaker 1: It sounds great except for the location. It sounds perfect.
27:04
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's not around the corner, you know what
27:07
Speaker 4: I mean. But it's if you find yourself and Jamestown
27:11
Speaker 4: do stuff stop in.
27:12
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, everything is documentaries now, I guess because it's
27:16
Speaker 1: it's cheaper to make a documentary than to do a series.
27:18
Speaker 1: But that's the most popular thing on streaming is documentaries.
27:22
Speaker 1: Everybody's raving about that mel Brooks documentary. So isn't that great?
27:26
Speaker 4: Well, you've got Apa tow Is a good tal and
27:30
Speaker 4: he sent me it both parts of it before he edited.
27:36
Speaker 4: And these are great, you know what they are, the
27:40
Speaker 4: time capsule things there. Well, you look at the Rob
27:44
Speaker 4: Ryan as who you mentioned earlier, did a really good
27:48
Speaker 4: one about Albert Brooks. You've got all of these documentaries
27:53
Speaker 4: that basically it shows a oh an object is kind
28:00
Speaker 4: of tribute to people. Yeah, it's subjective because you're doing
28:04
Speaker 4: a documentary about them. There was one on Chevy, there
28:08
Speaker 4: was one. You know, they're doing one on me because
28:12
Speaker 4: of all the people I worked with, so they can
28:16
Speaker 4: get all they got, all those people giving testimony. It's
28:20
Speaker 4: not me that they're selling, but all these people endorsing me,
28:23
Speaker 4: and they've been working on it for a couple of
28:25
Speaker 4: years now. But I like them. I like them. As
28:28
Speaker 4: a matter of fact, Judd at the House sent me
28:32
Speaker 4: a rough hut of one that he did. It hasn't
28:36
Speaker 4: been released yet on Norm McDonald and if you were
28:40
Speaker 4: a fan of Norms, you'll eat up every second of this.
28:42
Speaker 4: It's really good.
28:44
Speaker 3: So I like them.
28:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that's great. So as long as we're pluging documentaries,
28:48
Speaker 1: there's a new Sinatra documentary. It's called Echoes of an Icon.
28:52
Speaker 1: It was on Fox Nation. It's also on Amazon. It's great.
28:56
Speaker 1: You should go look at that. What else, Hey, you're
29:00
Speaker 1: working on the Rodney Dangerfield Broadway show.
29:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I put it aside
29:05
Speaker 4: to be on the phone with you right now, and
29:09
Speaker 4: I know that's okay. I needed to break mark. It's
29:16
Speaker 4: really fun. I've been working on it a very long time.
29:19
Speaker 4: It's not an easy thing to do. It's easy for
29:23
Speaker 4: me to capture his voice. But what way do you
29:25
Speaker 4: take it? How do you do it? We had a
29:28
Speaker 4: reading of it all a few months ago. It went
29:31
Speaker 4: very well, but then the producers wanted to go another
29:35
Speaker 4: way with it, and I resisted at first. But now
29:38
Speaker 4: that I'm writing it, I'm going, Yeah, they were right.
29:40
Speaker 4: It's more intimate. It's more intimate if I make it
29:43
Speaker 4: more of a monologue, you know, where he tells jokes,
29:47
Speaker 4: but he also tells about his life and it gets
29:50
Speaker 4: very very touching at points. So I'm having a really
29:53
Speaker 4: good time doing it. I can't wait for the next step.
29:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, the off stage Rodney was quite different from the
29:59
Speaker 1: eye stage Rodney and his private story is pretty complex
30:05
Speaker 1: and interesting.
30:06
Speaker 4: So it's very complex, you know he if you read
30:09
Speaker 4: his book, he is very very open about a childhood
30:12
Speaker 4: where mom never hugged him, Dad was never around. He
30:17
Speaker 4: was out there as a little kid, you know, on
30:19
Speaker 4: the streets. And when he ultimately created this character, I
30:24
Speaker 4: don't get no respect. I think that there was for him.
30:29
Speaker 4: I think it was cathartic. I think it tapped into
30:33
Speaker 4: a part of him that was true and it was
30:35
Speaker 4: part of his therapy, and I think that that's why
30:39
Speaker 4: he resonated. He just wasn't a guy telling jokes, which
30:42
Speaker 4: he had the best jokes in the world. But I
30:45
Speaker 4: think that you believe that there was a part of
30:47
Speaker 4: him that was believed it, you know, and he's and
30:52
Speaker 4: actually he says, you know, he says in his book
30:55
Speaker 4: that the reason that he told those jokes one right
30:59
Speaker 4: after another and did them so rapidly that he was
31:02
Speaker 4: afraid he was going to lose the audience between jokes,
31:05
Speaker 4: that he didn't get to the next punchline. So you're
31:08
Speaker 4: talking about an emotional deprivation there, you know underneath you know,
31:13
Speaker 4: I don't want to get at the psychobabble about it,
31:15
Speaker 4: but he was a real guy and he did have
31:18
Speaker 4: his demons.
31:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, is this show going to get into it
31:21
Speaker 1: in real life? The drugs, the women.
31:24
Speaker 4: Oh, the drugs, the women. Listen, you know, and I've
31:27
Speaker 4: been asking people who knew him better than me. I
31:29
Speaker 4: knew him pretty well, but you know, I've heard that
31:33
Speaker 4: you remember a catcherizing star. Of course, Yeah, Okay, Catchurizing
31:38
Speaker 4: Star was a showcase up and coming comedians. Rodney would
31:42
Speaker 4: stop in there, you know, let's say ten o'clock at night,
31:45
Speaker 4: wearing his pajamas. He walked from his apartment through the
31:49
Speaker 4: streets and his pajamas, So that I have no explanation
31:53
Speaker 4: for no one's been able to tell me why.
31:56
Speaker 1: You know, he actually lived like a block from Catch
31:58
Speaker 1: A rising Star.
31:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, and yes, he did live very very close to
32:02
Speaker 4: Catch and he from everything that I've learned, he opened
32:07
Speaker 4: up Danger Fields because he wanted to be near the kids. Yeah, okay,
32:11
Speaker 4: he lived it was like a few blocks away, so
32:14
Speaker 4: he didn't want to be on the road as much.
32:17
Speaker 4: You know, he wanted to sleep home at night and
32:20
Speaker 4: be a father. So you know, there were really good
32:23
Speaker 4: intentions there.
32:24
Speaker 1: And his partner Dangerfields, Tony Bovakua, who's the guy that
32:27
Speaker 1: really ran the club. He's still alive and well he's
32:29
Speaker 1: living in Long Island and yeah.
32:32
Speaker 4: That that's my understanding as well, that's my you know,
32:35
Speaker 4: it was the hangout. You know, they're on occasion and
32:40
Speaker 4: uh and it was a thrill to meet him and
32:42
Speaker 4: you go downstairs to his dressing room and you couldn't
32:46
Speaker 4: believe you were talking to this guy, you know, in
32:48
Speaker 4: athom genuine yeah, in his bathrobe exactly. But then he
32:55
Speaker 4: would take off the bathrobe and walk the catch rising
32:58
Speaker 4: stone at pajamas.
33:00
Speaker 1: Well, you were lucky because with me the bathrobe was
33:02
Speaker 1: there were no pajamas, just the bathroom. So you got luck.
33:05
Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh boys, frightening. Anyway, everybody follow Alan's
