  Speaker 1: This is seven to tenor boy, the Mark Simoon Show starts.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Oh well, hey, I got a lot to get to today.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: We'll get to the tanker. We'll get to Tucker, We'll
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: get to Mom, Donnie, We'll get to Luigi. We got
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: a lot of stuff to talk about today. So that
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: you might have seen on the news that the United
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: States of America seized a Venezuelan oil tanker. It looked
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: pretty impressive, the military operation with the planes and fighter
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: jets and helicopters and our military repelling down onto the deck,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: seizing this massive oil tanker with thousands and thousands of
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: gallons of oil on it. It was about seventy million
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: worth of oil. It was a Venezuelan ship. The whole
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: thing was illegal because it was violating our sanctions. And
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: of course you had all the fake news all up
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: in arms. Here's that old weather beaten old hag.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Martha Radtts telling ABC News it was headed for Cuba,
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: capable of carrying up to two million barrels of oil.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Today's seizure marking the first time the US has overtly
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: interfered with oil exports, Venezuela's main source of revenue.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Until now, the US.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Has been targeting boats they say are carrying drugs, striking
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: at least twenty two boats and killing nearly ninety people,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: including two survivors.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Now this old Martha rat, it's this old hag looks
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: like Granny on the Beverly Hillbillize, you know, not quite
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: the mother on Golden Girls, but she's getting there. But
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you notice her language overtly interfered with Venezuela. Now, if
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: you were watching this, you must think this is the
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: most awful thing. Why would we overtly interfere with a nice, little, peaceful,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: little oil shipman. Why would we see? Well, she forgot
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: to explain that the ship was in total violation of
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: US sanctions. Now, let me just explain. When it comes
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: to sanctions, they're never enforced. You know, we have sanctions
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: at times where you're not allowed to buy Russian oil,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: you're not allowed to buy Iranian oil, or you're not
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: allowed to ship oil to this country or to that country.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: These are sanctions. Now, they've just never enforced. Biden was
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: the king of this. You know, remember Russia did they
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: invaded Ukraine or at one point when Russia did something awful,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Biden big press conference, He said, I am placing six
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty sanctions on Russia, and the fake news
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: applauded and said, wow, look at him stand up to Russia. Well,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: they never told the audience that there was already twenty
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: seven hundred sanctions on Russia that weren't being enforced, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: these six hundred weren't going to be enforced, and they're
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: never enforced. It's the silliest thing in the world. Can
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: you imagine if cops when they pull you over for
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: a speeding ticket, never enforced them, If you throw it
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: away and you didn't go to court, nothing, whatever, you'd
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: never enforced them. Well, nobody would stop speeding. So President
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Trump decided, let's actually enforce one of these sanctions. Let's
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: actually do what we're supposed to do and enforce one.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: So they seized the ship, took the oil. She said,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: a couple of million barrels. It's seventy million worth of oil.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: And reporters, of course went nuts asking them about it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: We've just seized a tanker on the coast of venezuela
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: large tanker, very large, largest one ever sees. Extra and
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: other things are happening.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, they cut the clip here. But the reporter said, well,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: what are you gonna do with the oil? And he said,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: but I don't know. I guess we keep it. You know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: he hadn't thought about that's just simply enforcing the sanction.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: And then when he said I guess we keep it,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: of course fake news went nuts, how they can't keep
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: their oil. Well, what would you do with it? It's
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: a sanction you're supposed to enforce. You're supposed to seize it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: That's okay, despite what the fake news tells you. Now
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: that you've seized it, what do you do with the oil?
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: If you don't keep it? What do you do with it?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Do you give it back to somebody? You send it
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: back to? That wouldn't make any sense. So what do
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: you do with the oil? You could put it up
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: on eBay and sell it. You could go sell it somewhere.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: You keep it, I guess. Now. The price of oil
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: went up a little yesterday the seizing of a tanker,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: but not much it was it went only went up
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: one percent. And what this means is if he continues
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: to do this kind of stuff, the countries may actually
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: start obeying the sanctions. They may stop violating sanctions. Can
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: you imagine such a thing? What's next? And he n
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: hinted there's other things coming now. You know, he's got
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: talking about going into Venezuela, knocking out all their drug facilities,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: stopping all that. You know, if he stops all their
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: oil shipments, they're just going to go broke. They got
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: a billion dollars in reserve, but at some point they'll
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: go broke. But he was also hinting it going after
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Columbia next.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Columbia's producing a lot of drugs. They have cocaine factories
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: that they make cocaine, as you know, and they sell
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: right into the say so he better wise up or
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: he'll be next.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Now, I don't know what this could do to people.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: You know, if you go after all the fentanyl, if
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: you go after all the cocaine, at some point there
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: could be a tremendous shortage of drugs. I don't know.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it can have all these drug
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: agents running around try to arrest all the drug dealers,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: but that we've been doing that for a thousand years,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: it never seems to get that much done. If you
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: actually made the supply of drugs dry up, that could
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: be interesting. First of all, it would drive the price
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: way up. So it's interesting. But now, of course you're
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: going to see Chuck Schumer with his glasses all fugged up,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: yelling and screaming about how dare you seize an oil tanker.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: You're going to see all the craziest senators, you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: the blooming dolls and the Chris Murphy's yelling and screaming
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: and huffing and puffing about it. But it's a great thing.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: It's a great thing, and you see all these experts
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: explaining this stuff.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserve in the world,
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: so it's fourteen trillion dollars worth of oil and it's
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: a primary means of the regime funding.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're stopping the primary funding of that awful regime.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: It is a significant escalation, but this might be the
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: start of a campaign. With all that naval power, the
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: US can certainly stop oil tankers from leaving Venezuela, which
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: could completely cut off their ability to sell their own
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: Krugle world.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now that's your thing. You might not have to
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: fire too many shots after after a while. I would
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: think if you're a narco terrorist in one of those speedboats.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: You might not really want to go on one of
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: those missions and go, you know, through the water anymore.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: And if you're one of these tankers, if it's going
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to get seized, you may not want to send one
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: of these tankers out. So it all might just stop.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens. Schumer, of course, yelling and
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: screaming about everybody and everything. They're still on Pete hexath
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: hexit arrangement syndrome continues. They want him gone. He's not
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: going anywhere.
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: Hey.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: By the way, watch the video of this mission, the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: seizing of the tanker. Real impressive precision military mission. You
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: got to remember under Hexith, the military has pulled off
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: some pretty amazing missions, the bombing of the Iran nuclear facilities.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: The seizing of this tanker's pretty good. Doesn't impress Chuck
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Schumer though, plan to demand Secretary Hegseth.
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: Give the total unedited videos of what happened in the
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: September second boat strikes. I will demand of Rubio and
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: Hegseth what the hell is going on in the Caribbean Venezuela.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: What are their plans good for Schumer? This is what
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: he does best, talk mix speeches, yell and scream. He
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: never actually does anything. You remember all those fake Sunday
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: press conferences with all those issues he was fighting for.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Soon as the press conference is over, he'd throw the
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: index cards in a waste basket and forget about it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Same thing here, he's demanding he better or else, or
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: that's all he does. He just talks and then leaves.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: He wants the videos. Every second, unedited videos must be released.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: He hate that he got these big new glasses just
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: to watch these videos. But you'll never he'll yell and
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: scream about it. Now, what democrats generally do is they
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: start this stuff, they go crazy, it becomes a major issue.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Then they keep focus grouping it, and then after about
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: a week or two, they say, huh, it's not registering,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: it's not working on people. Then they throw it right
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: in the waiste basket. Find something else. They don't really
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: care about any of this stuff. Affordability that seems to
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: be working, that has registered, even though there's not that
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: much of an affordability crisis. There was a terrible affordability
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: crisis under Joe Biden, where of inflation went nuts the
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: highest level in fifty years, and for the middle class,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: the highest level ever. It was horrible under Biden. Trump
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: has brought it down almost in half. It's going to
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: take another six months to bring it down the other half.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: But so it's Biden's affordability crisis. They never mentioned that part.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: But even on CNBC, which is the most left wing slanted,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Even on CNBC yesterday, Jay Clayton, who's the US attorney,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: he's the former SEC chairman, very knowledgeable guy financially on
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: the economy. All that's very not brilliant guy, very good guy,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Jay Clayton, he was the guest. But even the CNBC
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: panel had to admit that this affordability crisis was all
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: the fault of Joe Biden.
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: Li the affordability issue is but from the twenty two
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: percent increase in prices in inflation under Biden, there's.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: This full stop right there. That's the affordability issue.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: And you got to be able to explain.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: That, right, that's right.
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: And look, I think that with the economic team President
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: Trump and the economic team led by Scott Dessant, you
• 10:13
  Speaker 10: have people who very much understand this and it was
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: a they were thrown you know what, I would say,
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: the worst economy for the average American in my adult
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: lifetime in terms of the like you said, the incredible
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: increase in prices at the household.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Now, so this affordability thing seems to work. If you
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: just keep yelling at screaming this affordability crisis, people start
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: to believe it and hold it against Trump. Now. They
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: did this exact same play years ago against George HW.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Bush and it worked. George H. W. Bush, Bush Senior
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: was running against this unknown young governor, Bill Clinton, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: they hadn't got the word affordability yet. That came out
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: of focus groups a few weeks ago. Focus groups found
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: the best word was affordability. But it was back in
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: ninety two Bush versus Clinton, and they kept talking about
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the economic crisis. They made it look like it We're
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: in the worst with the economy. It was having problems,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: but it wasn't the worst economy. They made it sound
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: like it was, and it helped Bush Senior lose to Clinton.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: And back then, the big newscast was the CBS Evening
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: News with Dan Rather and every night you can go
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: back and watch the videos of this all through the campaign.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Every night the CBS Evening News did the special feature
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Economy in Crisis, Economy in crisis. They would open with
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that and then rather had to do the actual news.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: But before he did it. Now coming up, we'll get
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: to our special feature, the economy in crisis or is
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: a crisis in the economy? And every night they would
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: do this special feature, but the economy in crisis. Well,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: on November fourth, the election came and Clinton won, and
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: that night they dropped the feature. There was no feature,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: no economy and crisis, no crisis in the economy. They
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: never mentioned it again. As soon as Clinton won, they
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: dropped the feature and never used it again. But it
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: helped kill Bush. So they've brought this play back. And
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: sure enough, if they keep yelling and screaming about affordability, affordability, affordability,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: everyone thinks is a crisis. Now the president has not
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: been on top of this. He needs, you know, he
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: keeps saying, you got to do better messaging. But it's
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: it's tough, you know, if every time anybody turns around,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: they see affordability crisis. So he's got to get back
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: out there in the campaign trail. He did the first
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: one this week in Pennsylvania. There'll be more of them coming,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: and he's got to talk about affordability I have no higher.
• 12:43
  Speaker 11: Priority than making America affordable again.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: That's what we're going to do.
• 12:46
  Speaker 11: They gave you high prices, they gave you the highest
• 12:50
  Speaker 11: inflation in history, and we're giving you we're bringing those
• 12:53
  Speaker 11: prices down rapidly, lower prices, bigger paychecks. You're getting lower prices,
• 12:58
  Speaker 11: bigger paychecks. We're getting inflation, we're crushing it, and you're
• 13:04
  Speaker 11: getting much higher wages. I mean, the only thing that
• 13:07
  Speaker 11: used it's really going up big. It's called the stock
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: market and your.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Four oh one k. Yeah, yeah, stock market has been
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: on fire all year now. When the stock market goes crazy,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: goes way up. Well, of course it helps the big
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: hedge fund guys, billionaires, Goldman Sax, those kind of guy.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Of course it helps them. But it helps every working
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: man and woman in America because they got a four
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: oh one k pension and the pension's invested in stock.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: So it's driving up your pension, driving up your four
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: oh one k. But of course the media will never
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: mention this. The president gets no credit for it. You know,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: the smartest guy is Larry Cudler, the best economist, and
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: if you watch Cudlow every day four o'clock Fox Business network,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Especially the first five or ten minutes, Larry Cudler will
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: go over the exact most important statistics on the economy,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: laying out how much better the economy is doing. He'll
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: give you a data, it'll put it up on the
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: screen and it's fascinating. Then they'll right away go to
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: the top economists in the world, Art Laugher, all of
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: this stuff, and if you watch that, you'll understand exactly
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: how good things are. The economy was bad under Biden,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: but it's getting better every week, and you'll give you
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the exact figures and data. Well, not everybody watches Cutlow
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: every day. You know, most people are watching Sherry Shepherd,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: they're watching the prices right, They're watching entertainment. You know,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: they're not watching that. So you gotta remember, for a
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: lot of people, they don't follow this stuff. They don't
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: listen to talk radio, they don't follow this closely. They
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: watch you man, We'll just check the evening news at
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: six point thirty. We'll watch that for ten minutes. That's
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: their news summary. So if you get these fake news
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: idiots like this Martha Raddatz.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Sources telling ABC News it was headed for Cuba capable
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: of carrying up to two million barrels of oil. Today's
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: seizure marking the first time the US has overtly inter
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: they election.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: That's all you think. What they overtly interfered with a
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: country trying to ship some oil. She never mentions. It
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: was in total violation of US sanctions. It was an
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: illegal ship, and illegal ship. She never mentioned it. So,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: if you're just watching the ABC and evening news, what
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: are you supposed to think you're supposed to I think,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: slowly but truly, one by one, people are starting to
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: realize you can't trust these people. President Trump saying the
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: New York Times should cease publication. Well, I'm going to
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: cease publication. New York Times actually doing pretty well. You
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: can make a lot of money with this fake news.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: In fact, subscriptions. You gotta remember, with the newspaper, the
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: print edition means nothing anymore. It's just a money loser.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: The New York Times print edition probably has one hundred
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: thousand people. But it's online where people read the newspaper
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: and you subscribe online subscriptions. New York Times just hit
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: twelve million. It's pretty impressive, twelve million online subscription. So
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: you can make a lot of money doing this fake news.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: But there should be some Federal Trade Commission something stepping
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: in n labeling. You know, if you falsely label a product,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: they can step right in there and stop you. You know,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: if you say this product can definitely cure that you
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: well they can. They can make you change that label
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: and you'll have to put in there that doesn't actually
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: cure it, it could reduce symptoms. You know. So when the
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: New York tempts calls it a newspaper or that they're
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: printing news or here's the news section, Federal Trade Commission
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: can step in there and say, you're not labeling this correctly.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: This is a political agenda. You're pushing a narrative. You're
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: not really reporting the news as is. Anyway, we've got
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: a lot to get to. Speaking of the great economists.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: We'll have one in just a few minutes, so we
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: can get the actual facts on how the economy is doing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: We've got a lot coming up. We'll take some calls next.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 17:00

  Speaker 3: They'll take the what.
• 17:23
  Speaker 12: You know from that the oil y.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good idea. Throw it in the oil reserves.
• 17:31
  Speaker 12: And also about Martha Graddish strick news stations, these advertisements
• 17:36
  Speaker 12: and you'll cut these please people and start advertising with
• 17:39
  Speaker 12: them and they will change their tune. You hit them
• 17:41
  Speaker 12: in the pocketbook.
• 17:42
  Speaker 13: No, they got to change tool.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: No they won't. They won't all they won't.
• 17:48
  Speaker 12: Okay, you know better, boy, No.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: They won't. For a second. They actually don't make any
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: money on the news or the Sunday shows. It's uh.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, they sell commercials, but it's not a big
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: part of their revenue. It's just on principle they do it.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: The Sunday show makes no money, it has no viewers,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: but it's fake news and they love it. Let's go
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: to Kay in Manhattan, k How you doing.
• 18:12
  Speaker 14: Hi, Mark, I'd like what I'd like to say these
• 18:14
  Speaker 14: voters who are who are thinking about voting for Democrats
• 18:18
  Speaker 14: because of the economy. But they remind me of a
• 18:22
  Speaker 14: woman who has a boyfriend who batters her and abuses her,
• 18:27
  Speaker 14: and then she meets a really nice guy and he
• 18:30
  Speaker 14: forgets her birthday, so she goes back to the first guy.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:36
  Speaker 14: I can't even believe these people would think about voting
• 18:39
  Speaker 14: for Democrats after what this country has been through.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Well, it happens, It happens. Hey, they voted for mom Donnie. Hey.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: By the way, remember I was mentioned before, nobody reads
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: the print edition of a newspaper. Nobody. It's tiny, the
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: circulation of a print edition. It's all subscriptions now, So
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: if you're the New York Times, all your money is
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: off subscriptions, twelve million subscribers. Now. Well, one thing that
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: did is and they found, you know, in the print edition,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: is you turn the page as a full page ad. Wow,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: you'd see this ad. What they found with the people
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: that read the paper online is they don't pay any
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: attention to the ads. They don't even look at them,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: and they don't The only way they make money is
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: if you click on the ad. Well, nobody clicks on
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: the ads online on a newspaper, so all the revenue
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: is from the subscriptions. Now and not from advertising. And
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: that's one reason the New York Times and other publications
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: have been able to go crazy left wing, totally slanted partisans,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: because they're no longer depending on advertising revenue. So the
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: New York Times, Washington Posts, they can go totally nuts.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: All the money is subscriptions, no longer advertising. You don't
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: have to worry about advertiser backlash anymore if you're in
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: a newspaper. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave, how
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: you doing.
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark, I'm doing very well. Thank you. Mark.
• 19:58
  Speaker 15: I have a question about the autopen during the Biden administration.
• 20:03
  Speaker 15: What exactly will President and Trump do or has he
• 20:07
  Speaker 15: done regarding pardons?
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Well, good question. He has said if it's an autopen pardon,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: they're going to probably cancel it because it wasn't actually
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: signed by Biden and the technically the president has to
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: sign it. Apparently there is some way you can tell
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: if it was the autopen or a real signature. Let's
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: go to Joe in New York City. Joe, how you doing?
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: Those crazy sig Democrats saying jingle bells is racist? That's nonsense.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Mark.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: He went to three stooges. Did jingle bells.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: There you go. Well, I told you we have the
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: most incredible high end audience in the world. There are
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: some exceptions, there's a few. Now, what he's talking about
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: is this crazy Joy Reed, who got fired from MSNBC
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: yelling and screaming yesterday that jingle Bells is racist. Jingle
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Bells is racist. I don't know what the hell she's
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: talking about. She claims it was written by a Confederate
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: soldier who wrote jingle Bells and he was making fun
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: of black people, and that it has its origins in
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: bigoted minstrel shows that were popular. Theme. Well, that doesn't
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: make any sense. It was a song. But Joy Reid
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: claiming jingle Bells is racist. However, this makes her look
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: pretty hypo critical. I found out she made a recording
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: of the song years ago. I found this is Joy
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Reid singing jingle bells. Pretty good. It's not bad. Actually,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: let's go to Jeffrey and Queen's Jeffrey, how you.
• 21:45
  Speaker 13: Doing, Yeah, Mark, good morning?
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:48
  Speaker 13: Listen to the single affordability as well. I'll pay you
• 21:52
  Speaker 13: the truth. You go to like ten twenty different supermarkets
• 21:56
  Speaker 13: and you fish them up the piss through the little
• 21:59
  Speaker 13: especially the one ton by caps from the dds, thestids
• 22:03
  Speaker 13: and the other ones. The prices are through the roof.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I always find the gristities prices are pretty good.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: There's different supermarkets, but you got to remember you can't
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: compare like a Manhattan supermarket. If you really want to
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: test affordability, you got to get out of New York City.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Things cost a whole lot more in Manhattan because there's
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: all kinds of costs to a supermarket. They don't have
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: your things. You don't think about. You know, if you
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: run a supermarket, a million trucks have to show up
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: every day and deliver your food. So if you got
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: a supermarket in Long Island or in Westchester, you got
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: a big parking lot and the trucks come in and
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: deliver your food. If it's in Manhattan, the trucks have
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: to double park. They get ticketed like crazy. So if
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: you're a supermarket, you're paying like half a million a
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: year in parking tickets, things like that that you're paying
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: congestion pricing to. You're paying all kinds of taxes. So
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: the supermarket that brings up the price is paying millions
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: expenses they wouldn't be paying if they were in the suburbs.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: So again something with gas, don't you know, don't look
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: at a gas pump in New York City and think
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: that's the price around the country. It's not. Hey, when
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: we come back, one of the greatest economists in the world, Now,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: what is the real story with affordability. We'll get to
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: that next Steve Moore, we hope coming up next on
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: seven to ten wor seventeen warms. Well, let's turned to
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: one of the great economists in the world, Steve Moore,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: and he runs the committee to Unleash Prosperity dot com
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: and every day they put out the best daily news
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: and analysis briefing. You can get it free. It'll come
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: right to your email. Just go to Unleash Prosperity dot com. Hey,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: make sure you get his book, The Trump Economic Miracle.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: What a book it is. And he's with us now,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Steve Moore, how you doing.
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: Hey, Mark?
• 23:48
  Speaker 16: I'm doing really well. I think the economy is doing
• 23:50
  Speaker 16: really well. I think America is doing really well. And
• 23:53
  Speaker 16: you know, I love Trump's speech the other night about
• 23:55
  Speaker 16: how well the economy is doing because it is it
• 23:58
  Speaker 16: happens to be doing really well in terms of wages,
• 24:01
  Speaker 16: in terms of job opportunities, in terms of four wen
• 24:04
  Speaker 16: K plans. It's all looking very positive to me.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. I got the New York Times
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: right here says we're in the worst affordability crisis ever
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: in history though. But yeah, their focus groups came up
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: with this word affordability. They what do you do about
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: the fact they're just drilling this into people's heads and
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: people are falling for it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 16: Well they are, I mean, and by the way, there's
• 24:25
  Speaker 16: a difference between an increase in prices and an increase
• 24:30
  Speaker 16: in inflation. So what's happened is, you know, prices are
• 24:33
  Speaker 16: still rising by about two and a half percent, but
• 24:35
  Speaker 16: that's down from like five and six percent increases and
• 24:38
  Speaker 16: prices under Biden. In fact, as you know, the ninety
• 24:43
  Speaker 16: percent of the inflation that people are complaining about and
• 24:45
  Speaker 16: the higher prices happened.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Under who Joe Biden?
• 24:49
  Speaker 16: Yeah, exactly. So why is it that people are so
• 24:53
  Speaker 16: obsessed with Trump on this?
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: Now?
• 24:55
  Speaker 16: Look, the things that are really rising in prices right
• 24:58
  Speaker 16: now are be prices, and you know, people are angry
• 25:01
  Speaker 16: when they buy a steak at the grocery store. The
• 25:03
  Speaker 16: other thing that's going through the roof. By the way,
• 25:05
  Speaker 16: is healthcare costs mark? We just got our healthcare statement
• 25:09
  Speaker 16: for twenty six and our insurance premiums are you ready
• 25:12
  Speaker 16: to are going up twelve percent? So you know what
• 25:15
  Speaker 16: is going on. I thought fifteen years ago we passed
• 25:18
  Speaker 16: the affordable Care rat Well, yeah, not so affordable to me.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: But you've been writing about this in the hotline. Yeah,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: the whole thing needs to be totally busted up. And
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: when the government gets involved, nothing works, right. But like
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: a simple test, a cat scan or something, it's one
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: hundred dollars, but the insurance rate is twelve hundred dollars
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: or eight thousand. Yeah, you got to stop all this.
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: How do we do you need?
• 25:42
  Speaker 16: Well, one thing, one thing we need is healthcare price transparency,
• 25:46
  Speaker 16: so everyone knows. You know, have you noticed we as
• 25:49
  Speaker 16: Americans we always ask you know you've taken you know,
• 25:52
  Speaker 16: you buy a book, an airline flight, you ask how
• 25:54
  Speaker 16: much it's going to cost? You go to the grocery store.
• 25:55
  Speaker 16: How much is that ice creamium cost? Everything that we
• 25:58
  Speaker 16: buy a restaurant, everything we asked, see how much is
• 26:01
  Speaker 16: it going to cost? Except for one thing healthcare. You know,
• 26:04
  Speaker 16: when you go to the doctor, at the hospital. We
• 26:06
  Speaker 16: never asked what things cost, and that's one of the
• 26:08
  Speaker 16: reasons prices are completely out of control. I mean, my
• 26:11
  Speaker 16: old friend Philogram used to say, if we paid for
• 26:14
  Speaker 16: groceries the way we pay for healthcare, he said, I'd
• 26:16
  Speaker 16: eat steak and lobster and drink champagne every night.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So there's no way to do this though, get
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: government completely out of health care, is there? It can't happen.
• 26:27
  Speaker 16: Well, you know we could if you could not take
• 26:29
  Speaker 16: a dumber way to pay for healthcare right now than
• 26:32
  Speaker 16: what we have right now. And incidentally, under the Democratic
• 26:35
  Speaker 16: plan that you can have an income over half a
• 26:38
  Speaker 16: million dollars and the Democrats want you to get subsidies
• 26:42
  Speaker 16: from the taxpayer for millionaires. Practically, I mean, it does
• 26:45
  Speaker 16: not make any sense. By the way, there are twenty
• 26:49
  Speaker 16: one states that have refused Trump's demand to tell us
• 26:52
  Speaker 16: make sure that the people are signing up for Medicaid
• 26:55
  Speaker 16: and all these obamecare substies, going to make sure that
• 26:57
  Speaker 16: they actually have legitimate Social Security numbers and their eltible
• 27:00
  Speaker 16: for the programs. Twenty one states, including New York and
• 27:02
  Speaker 16: New Jersey, have refused to comply.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now they'll be Democrats yelling, well, what's the Republican
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: plan on healthcare? What is the Republican plan?
• 27:11
  Speaker 16: I have two words answer? Ready, yeah, free enterprise, free markets. Well,
• 27:17
  Speaker 16: let's pay health care now. People should have catastrophic insurance
• 27:21
  Speaker 16: or you know, if you have you know, if you
• 27:22
  Speaker 16: get cancer God forbid, or have a terrible accident and
• 27:25
  Speaker 16: you have hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical expenses,
• 27:28
  Speaker 16: you want to make sure you're covered for that. But
• 27:30
  Speaker 16: why do we need you know, healthcare coverage for active
• 27:33
  Speaker 16: visits and all these other things that are routine expenditures.
• 27:36
  Speaker 16: So that would make that would put the patient back
• 27:38
  Speaker 16: in the equation. And incidentally, you know I have an
• 27:41
  Speaker 16: item in the hotline today. Mark that the in Canada
• 27:45
  Speaker 16: now they have seven, eight, nine, ten, twelve, fifteen, in
• 27:50
  Speaker 16: some cases twenty six weeks delay and waiting lines to
• 27:53
  Speaker 16: get any kind of medical procedure. But free.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Oh well, do.
• 27:59
  Speaker 16: You remember that?
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: Do you remember the famous scene in the movie Beetlejuice
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: where the beetle Juice is in the waiting room and
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: they're serving number number three and he looks at his
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: number and he's like, nine hundred thousand, that's our.
• 28:12
  Speaker 16: Help there's system both. It's free if you can get it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Hey, so the FED a slight reduction yesterday. This
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: is the most useless Fed ever? Will this get fixed?
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Will we get a new FED chairman? Will ar?
• 28:25
  Speaker 16: Yeah, well it's going to be one. Yeah, yep, We're
• 28:27
  Speaker 16: going to get one of the two. Kevin's either Kevin
• 28:30
  Speaker 16: Hassett or Kevin worsh you know both of them. I
• 28:35
  Speaker 16: know both of them. I think they were both the excellent,
• 28:37
  Speaker 16: excellent choices. They would restore the value of the dollar.
• 28:41
  Speaker 16: They would make sure that interest rates are as low
• 28:43
  Speaker 16: as they possibly can be. And so I'd like both
• 28:45
  Speaker 16: of those picks. And as long as we get rid
• 28:49
  Speaker 16: of Jerome Powell, I'll be very happy.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Will he'll be replaced a chairman? Will he step down
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: from the Fed like he's supposed to?
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: I hope.
• 28:57
  Speaker 16: So he's the guy who let prices go up by
• 28:59
  Speaker 16: twenty percent of the last four years. He's a total failure.
• 29:02
  Speaker 16: He's got to go. And we got to get somebody
• 29:04
  Speaker 16: in there who depends a dollar, restores us to price stability,
• 29:08
  Speaker 16: and gets the inflation rate back down to two percent
• 29:10
  Speaker 16: or beloup. Yeah, I gotta run out, but I hope
• 29:13
  Speaker 16: you have a great, great day. And my god, I
• 29:15
  Speaker 16: gotta do some Christmas shopping, all.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Right, get me something nice? You want my sizes? Yeah,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: you're right exactly. Yeah, takes care. Well. At least he
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: showed up. He had to run, but at least he
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: showed up. That's pretty good. So it's enough Christmas. I'm
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: a long ago Christmas. What's the date today? Let me
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: it's eleventh. That's thirteen more days of this two weeks.

• 29:47
  Speaker 3: It's these Christmas parties. You just eat like crazy. You know.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: The good thing is today I'm walking around the whole
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: sixth floor here, there's no buffets anywhere, thank god. Today.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Yesterday there were these face in front of Elvis Durant
• 30:02

• 30:06

• 30:20
  Speaker 3: whatever that was called?

• 30:25
  Speaker 3: to all these Christmas parties. You know, they've got a
• 30:26

• 31:13
  Speaker 3: It's tough to deal with. Hey, coming up, you got

• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone Show continues on seventor.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Whoa, hey, So you got Tucker Carlson going nuts again?
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: What is yelling about? Now? You know that Olivia Nuzzy,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: the crazy reporter who was sexting and texting and with
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: the RFK Junior and the text came out. That was
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a scandal. And now you got
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: this crazy Tucker was it's all in Israeli plot to
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: take down Trump. It was a deep state Israeli plot
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: to take down Donald Trump. So now, yeah, I ex
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: playing this yesterday. You just got to forget about Tucker Carlson.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Just forget about it. You know, when you get fired,
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: you're not on a network, you don't have a real platform.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: When you're producing a podcast out of your living room,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: how do you get anybody to see it? You got
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: to get attention. So he's a very smart guy and
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: a very sophisticated guy, but he's saying these crazy, outlandish things.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Megan Kelly the same thing, Candace Owens, the same thing.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: They don't they don't work for anybody. They're out of work.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: They're doing a show out of their house. So to
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: get attention, they say the craziest things to go viral.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: So they want to be the new Alex Jones or whatever.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Just ignore them, just don't pay attention. Hey, Jimmy Fayalo
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: will be with us in the next hour. We've got
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: a lot to talk about. We'll get to it right
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: after the news on seven to ten. Worse the Marks
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: among show on seven tenor well, hey, two weeks so
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Christmas is Christmas Eve? Two weeks from tonight. I'm not sure.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: I think Christmas Day, so yeah, Christmas Eve is a Wednesday. Yeah,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: so this is Thursday. It's two weeks from Christmas Day already,
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: and then three weeks from New Year's Day. Now, the
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: problem is New Year's Day, you get a new mayor.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: It's inauguration Day. You're gonna get a new mayor on
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: January first. Guess who it is. Yeah, it's Mom Donnie
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: with his homeless camps everywhere.
• 33:42
  Speaker 17: Mayor Mom Donnie ensures that we connect those New Yorkers
• 33:46
  Speaker 17: with actual housing. We have to look at the efficacy
• 33:50
  Speaker 17: of the Adams Administration's policy on this. It is a
• 33:53
  Speaker 17: policy that did not connect a single New Yorker to
• 33:57
  Speaker 17: permanent housing in an entire year. That cannot be a policy.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: We continue now. He's very much like a brilliant college professor.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: He speaks beautifully and he uses words like efficacy. We
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: have to look at the efficacy of what we're doing.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the hell efficacy is, but we're
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: going to look at it. And it sounds great and
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: like any good college professor, sounds brilliant, but in reality,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: cannot execute a damn thing, can't get anything done, has
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: no experience actually doing anything, just talks about it. He's
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: looking at the efficacy and meantime, can't actually do anything,
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: doesn't know anything, has no practical experience of any kind.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: The other thing we find is that when Democrats get
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: on this homeless thing, they come up with programs to
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: do something about it. Deblasio had that Thrive NYC to
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: help the homeless. A billion dollars is poured into it.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Not one homeless person ever got helped, and they can't
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: find a billion dollars. They still don't know what happened
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: that billion dollars. Remember, he put his wife in charge
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: of the program. And of course you can always count
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: on fake news in the media to never ever ask
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: anything about the billion dollars and went missing. Can you
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: imagine going to Channel two, Channel four, Channel five, Channel seven,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: go to the New York Times and saying the mayor
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: set up a program for a billion dollars and it
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: went missing. Nobody can find the billion dollars, And all
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: of them say to you, what's for lunch today? They
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: don't even care that any want to know about it.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: If Donald Trump lost a quarter, they'd send a thousand
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: reporters to go cover this story. They don't want to
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: know a damn thing about it. Look at Somalia community,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Samalian Community, Minnesota. Same thing that elon Omar, that wacko well,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: actually might not be as stupid as you think. Because
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: eight billion went missing. They think it's up to eight billion.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: It was first it was a billion, then it was
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: two billion, other saying up to eight billion might have
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: gone missing. Same thing. They set up a program supposedly
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: was taking care of the homeless. Meantime, nobody can find
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: any homeless got taken care of. Nobody can find any
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: hint of the money ever going to where it was
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: supposed to be. Billions, literally billions missing. New York Times,
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: ABC NBCCBS no interest. They don't even mention. It's not
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: a story eight billion missing. Eh, We've got other things
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: to talk about, the Trump affordability. So of course, when
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: you lose eight billion in tax pair of money, or
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: in Manhattan or in New York City, when you lose
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: a billion in tax pair of money, taxes go up.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: So that's the problem. So you got Mom Donnie talking
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: about the homeless and he wants to set up a
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: program to help them. Well, you're going to see another
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: billion go missing. It's it's not that these people well
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but it might not be that they're
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: putting the money in their pocket, Dablazi or Mom Donnie.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: But it's contracts to hand out. It's like that green scheme,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: the climate change, the reason they pushed that so hard.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: It's billions and billions and billions in contracts you can
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: hand out. Now, if you're not so honest, some of
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: the money ends up in your pocket. But if you're honest.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: You know, a guy like Chuck Schumer or something like that,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's personally crooked. He's a dirty, sleazy politician,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: but I don't think he's you know, personally crooked. But
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: what you do is your hand out contracts to donors,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: billions in contracts. And every time you hand out one
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: of those contracts that donor owes you, you can call them
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: every few weeks. I need fifty thousand, I need one
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: hundred thousand, I need two hundred and fifty thousand. These
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: guys get these calls all the time, and when they
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: say they need the money, it's for the campaign for
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: the senator's pack. So the billionaire, you know, you can
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: pick up the phone and these type of politicians, the
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: billionaire can call this guy. He's got his cell number.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: You can call him at midnight. I need a favor,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: I need to change of regulation, I need a permit,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: I need this. You can call him anytime. It'll get
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: done just like that. But they'll have a guy called
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: you every couple of weeks. Can you do fifty? Can
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: you do one hundred? Yeah, I can do it all right.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: We'll call you back, tell you who to write the
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: check to, and they'll call you back. Write the check
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: to the super pack this or this, and you keep
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: writing these checks, and those packs pay for anything the
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: senator needs as far as campaign expenses or staff or
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: consultants or anything like that, advertising whatever they need. So
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: that's the racket, that's the green scheme. They handed out
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: billions in contracts and ten to twenty percent of it
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: came back to these politicians. Same thing with these homeless programs.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: They'll hand out these contracts and the money will come
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: back to them in various ways. The Momdanni transition team,
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: for instance, has already raised like five million bucks a
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: transition team. All they do is they need a conference room.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: You know, if you really your transition team needs a
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: few offices in a conference room. They got the big
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: business guys who are donate. You know, charities do that
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: all the time. They call the big business guy, the CEO.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Hey we need the conference room, Sure, come over, use
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: it for six hours. We'll lend it to you. We
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: do that here at iHeart. We got beautiful conference rooms.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: If there's a big charity we're trying to help, you
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: need to use our conference room, Come use it. We
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: got one that holds like two hundred people. You can
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: use that one. They do it all every company, every
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: major corporation does that. It's free. You don't need to
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: raise four million for your transition team. Five million but Mom,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Donnie just did that in the last couple of weeks.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: So this is good news. By the way, that he
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: turns out to be just as slippery and greedy and
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: as money making as everybody else, so that it means
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: the big business guys may be able to keep him
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: in line in various ways. Hey, the inauguration, as they say,
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: is New Year's Day. Eric Adams is the current mayor, obviously,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: and he's saying now he might not go to the inauguration.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: That would be quite a slap in the face to
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Mom Donnie. He didn't say he wouldn't go. He just
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: said he hasn't decided. Well, you're supposed to go, obviously,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: you go, says he hasn't decided if he'll go. Uh,
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: you know that idiot. Brad Lander left wing, very left wing.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: He was the controller. You can get away with being
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: a controller because nobody knows what the hell of controller
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: does controller, controller, controller, You can say either one controller
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: is perfectly acceptable. And generally they're guys who have no personality.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Remember Scott Stringer, very nice guy, Scott string He wasn't
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: a coup just a nice guy, but cute, A cute guy,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: but not a lot of personality. Brad Lander the same way.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: He's more he's not so cute. He's more of a
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: silly guy with no personality. Even in his campaign, it
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: just sounds like people kept saying, he sounds like mister Rogers.
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: I love the people who make this city what it is.
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: So I'm running for Congress because the challenges we face
• 40:50
  Speaker 9: can't be solved with strongly worded letters or high dollar fundraisers.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Well, it's certainly forceful. Hey, I'm running for Congress. You
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: know why. I'll tell you why. Everybody kept telling him,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: just sound exactly like mister Rogers, and I guess he
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: had to answer that.
• 41:07
  Speaker 18: But a mister Rogers that stands up and fights Ice
• 41:11
  Speaker 18: and bites Trump and fights Muss and fight clubbed across
• 41:15
  Speaker 18: and fights a back and said this was.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Our neighborhood, okay, that's even worse. Hey, But I stand there,
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: I fight Trump. I find I find just sounds terrible.
• 41:27
  Speaker 18: But a mister Rogers that stands up and fights Ice
• 41:30
  Speaker 18: and bites Trump and fights mus and fight clumb dacross
• 41:35
  Speaker 18: and fights a bath and said this was our.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Okay. But on the other hand, you know, Mike Tyson
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: has got to be the toughest guy ever. Mike Tyson.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: You ever hear him on the radio? Hi, Mike Tyson.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine if you got a fight with a
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: guy on the phone and he said, you can't talk
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: to me like that, and you didn't know it was
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Mike Tyson. You just heard this voice. What are you
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: gonna do about it? I'm coming down, Yeah, you come
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: down here. Then it's Mike Tyson. But he's got to
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: run against Dan Goldman, Who's Now, this is a race
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: that doesn't matter either way because Lander is a very
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: far left wing kook, but so is Goldman, so it
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter who wins that thing. But Lander's going after Goldman.
• 42:18
  Speaker 9: I mean Democrats choosing not to support the Democratic nominee
• 42:22
  Speaker 9: for mayor.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Of New York City in a general election.
• 42:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that was a failure that showed that
• 42:28
  Speaker 9: we need something different.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: He does sound like it sounds like Charles Nelson Riley
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: without the without the charm. So Goldman going after him.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Now, I welcome Brad to the race. I'm not really
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: thinking about this right now. I'm in Washington really focused
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: on making sure that healthcare can will not be taken
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: away from millions of people. We are focused on the
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: immigration dragnet that Donald Trump is sweeping the country with.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the problem, Goldman. There's a much better looking
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: guy than Lander, and he's got a much better voice.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: So he looks good, he sounds good. You get in
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: a debate and Goldman's talking to Mile a minute, we're
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: gonna do this in this and then we at Lander
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: talks like this, it's not going to work out too well.
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: I love the people who make this city what it is,
• 43:17
  Speaker 9: so I'm running for Congress.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: I'm running for Congress. And then Goldman talks like this.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: I think Goldman wins that debate easily. He does sound
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: like mister Rogers. I don't hear it this again. Let
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: me no, that's the same one. Uh yeah, it's gonna
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: be a problem for him. He's not gonna do well,
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Brad Lander, but he's gonna be like the next Scott
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Stringer where these controllers. That's the problem of that job.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: You end up running every four years, every two years
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: for anything and everything, and it goes nowhere. You always
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: lose every time. Hey, that Luigi Mangione got caught in Pennsylvania,
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: goes to McDonald's and they're starting to release all the material.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: You know, he's in McDonald's. This is kind of crazy.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: He's in McDonald's. You know, a chain, a fast food,
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: big chain like that, McDonald's. You got to figure they
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: got security cameras everywhere, they probably got video over every
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: inch of the place. And he's just sitting there eating.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: He's not wearing sunglasses, he's not wearing a hat, he's
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: not trying to disguise himself. So if you listen to
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: the nine to one one calls from the manager, she says,
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: a lot of people eating her. Many of our customers
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: think he looks like the CEO assassin from New York.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: So they recognized him even in the middle of nowhere
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: in Pennsylvania. And if you look at the interviews with
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: these people, it was the eyebrows. You know, he has
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: these unusually thick, big, bushy, weird eyebrows. So they said
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: that was the first thing he said he looked like him.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: And then they saw the same exact eyebrows, which are
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: very unusual, and that's why they knew it was him.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: So the guy's not that bright. So you get those
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: big eyebrows, put on some sunglasses. So people can't see him,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: or you know, dye your hair a different color and
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: shave off the eyebrows, or cut him down, you know,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: get rid of the eyebrows and your dye your hair
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: looked at. You know, even David Jansen in The Fugitive
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: new to do that. So or you know, wear a
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: hat and sunglasses when you're going to be sitting in
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: a McDonald's with a lot of people around. So he
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: got himself caught. But again, you know, he wasn't I
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: guess the brightest assassin in the world. You know, it's
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: right across the street from where we are now. We
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: can go over that window and see the spot where
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: he did the shooting. And it's sixth Avenue and fifty
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: fifth Street, and it's got surveillance cameras over every inch
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: of it. So when you do anything there, there's gonna
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: be video of you doing it. So I don't know
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: how any chance of beating the case. It's all on video.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: So hey, Time magazine, You remember Time Magazine? Anybody remember
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: that they still do this thing called Time Magazine. I
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: don't know who sees it or why, but they still
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: do the Man of the Year, the Woman of the Year. Well,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: now you got to call it the person of the Year,
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: Person of the Year this year, the architects of ai AH.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: And then there's a picture of eleven guys who you
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: never heard of or you don't know. Apparently they created
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: ai so but it's Time Magazine. Twelve people see it,
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: eleven of whom work there at Time Magazine. Hey Rosanna Scato,
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Good day New York. We love Rosanna Scatto. Her family
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: owns a wonderful restaurant called Fresco. It's on fifty second Streets.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: One of the great Italian restaurants in New York. It's
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: a lot of famous faces. I was there yesterday. It's
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: a great restaurant, Fresco. You know it. It's been there
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: for I think thirty years now. Well no, well actually
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: more than I remember going to the thirtieth anniversary party,
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: and that was a couple of years ago. So they're
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: in the news today because they had a woman who
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: I guess is the accountant, the bookkeeper, and it looks
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: like this bookkeeper was stealing money. You know, when you're
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: the bookkeeper for a big thing like that, you can
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: make you can embezzle you. And it looked like she
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: took some money that was meant for tips. It looked
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: like she wrote checks to herself. It looks like she
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: siphoned cash out of thing. Well, how much did she get?
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: How much could you embezzle? Look at this? Two point
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: five million dollars was embezzled. Now this is over a
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: seven year period, but still that would be about three
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand a year that she was embezzling.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: Pretty good. Well, they must make a lot of money
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: at this restaurant if they didn't notice a two point
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: five million missing. But they caught her. Finally, she's been
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: turned over to the DA Alvin Bragg will prosecute her.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Looks pretty bad for her. The embezzled funds, it says,
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: paid for her lifestyle away from work, including one hundred
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: thousand she used to buy a house in Pennsylvania with
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: her husband. So prosecutor's got all this. They caught her.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: She here's the pick. They don't recognize her, shouldn't look familiar,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: very heavy. She might have been rating that refrigerator there too.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: Some food might be missing. I would take a look
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: at that, but they got her. I don't see how
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: she gets out of this. This is pretty bad. Hey,

• 50:45
  Speaker 3: and East Hanover Marco. How you doing.
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark? Just quick question, what do you think
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: New York City is going to look like in a
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: year from now?
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: It'll look like after the first year at the Blasio.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: It's going to be the same as Deblasio, which wasn't good,
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: but you got through it. You got through eight years
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: at de Blasio.
• 51:02
  Speaker 21: But will all the crime in the seventies under Beam
• 51:07
  Speaker 21: and Kotch and Vinacan's I mean right now, in a
• 51:10
  Speaker 21: year from now, I think New York City, short of
• 51:12
  Speaker 21: a blackout and a serial killer on the loose, is
• 51:15
  Speaker 21: gonna catapult the right back to nineteen seventy five.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: No, it won't. It'll you got remember you got a
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: lot of the All these top people in the Mamdania
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: misters are all from the Deblasio administration. So they'll do
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: what they did there. Hey, one thing about these crazy socialists,
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: they do tend to put in an okay, police commissioners.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: You know, remember when Deblasio came in, he did bring
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: in Bill Bratton, you know, he kind of restricted him
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: a little, but you had a decent police commissioner, and
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have Jessica Tish here. She'll be there at
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: least the first year. And if if she leaves, I
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: saw who his next choice would be, and it's not
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: a bad choice. It's a I don't forget his name.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: He's Suffolk County Police commissioner. He was with the NYPD
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: for years. So it'll just be like the Deblasia administration,
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: which wasn't good. It was bad, but we got through
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: it all right. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: how you doing.
• 52:05
  Speaker 20: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Marra. Mark speaking about this
• 52:10
  Speaker 20: accounting who built the restaurant for two and a half
• 52:14
  Speaker 20: million dollars and affordability. Yesterday I was talking to Marra
• 52:20
  Speaker 20: about a conversation I had about thirty five years ago
• 52:23
  Speaker 20: with a wise guy that I knew who in his Lady.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Listen, I can't believe you would associate with a known criminal.
• 52:31
  Speaker 20: Well, anyway, I'd like you. This guy in his later years,
• 52:36
  Speaker 20: when he was young, he was the enforcer for one
• 52:39
  Speaker 20: of the families, and then he went into loan shocking
• 52:43
  Speaker 20: and in later years when he was an old man.
• 52:46
  Speaker 20: He had a bar and a restaurant. So one night
• 52:49
  Speaker 20: and he was a friend of the family. So one
• 52:51
  Speaker 20: night I'm in his restaurant having drinks, and he was
• 52:54
  Speaker 20: telling me that even in the fifties there was this
• 52:57
  Speaker 20: difference in affordability. He was telling me the accountant for
• 53:02
  Speaker 20: one of the families who had a big legit accounting agency.
• 53:07
  Speaker 20: Now you remember what Michael Corleoni said when he left
• 53:10
  Speaker 20: New York. He said that when he went to Vegas,
• 53:13
  Speaker 20: he said, in ten years, the Corleone family will be
• 53:16
  Speaker 20: mainly legit.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: So they say that nothing personal say.
• 53:21
  Speaker 20: So Anyway, this guy was, this exub forster, was telling
• 53:28
  Speaker 20: me that the accountant who had this big agency, he
• 53:33
  Speaker 20: lived back in the fifties on Cuttain Place, and he
• 53:37
  Speaker 20: told me back then the rents were three hundred dollars
• 53:41
  Speaker 20: on some This is in the fifties. And meanwhile, in
• 53:44
  Speaker 20: the rest of New York City you could get an
• 53:47
  Speaker 20: apartment sometimes even with gas and electricity, for fifty dollars.
• 53:51
  Speaker 20: But since this guy had to keep up the air
• 53:55
  Speaker 20: and the look of legitimacy, he lived on some place
• 53:59
  Speaker 20: that income in quality that summer, what it's.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: Supposed to be that way, you got very expensive neighborhoods, you.
• 54:06
  Speaker 20: Got very interesting exactly my point.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: Mark, Well, Vincent, we got it.
• 54:10
  Speaker 20: And that's what I was telling Mara, having this idea
• 54:13
  Speaker 20: of everybody's got a fod.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: No, no, you're supposed to have a very expensive neghbor
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: it's Vincent. We gotta go, We gotta gotta do the news.
• 54:19

• 55:19

• 55:24
  Speaker 7: attendance might have dropped today, but they were manned. Were
• 55:27
  Speaker 7: they all over you? Like? In all honesty, if I
• 55:29
  Speaker 7: would have met them earlier in the train, they probably
• 55:31
  Speaker 7: would have bought my ticket. So take a bow, Simone,
• 55:34
  Speaker 7: take a bow.
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: You're a big star to me. Phel What are you
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: doing riding on the train.
• 55:40
  Speaker 7: Last night? Was the Hawks? The Fox News Christmas party? Yeah,
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: and I was told I should not be operating heavy
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: machinery for at least forty eight hours after what went
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: on at that open bar.
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I've been going to all these Christmas parties.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: It really gets to you after a while. You how
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: much can you eat? How much can you drink? What
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: do you give people advice on how to get through
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: these Christmas parties?
• 56:04
  Speaker 7: Well, this is the truth thing you need to do
• 56:07
  Speaker 7: because everybody's like you know, etiquette at Christmas parties, go
• 56:11
  Speaker 7: and have fun. Don't worry about, you know, having a
• 56:13
  Speaker 7: drink or two. That's not the issue. You just don't
• 56:16
  Speaker 7: want to be the person that everyone's talking about the
• 56:19
  Speaker 7: next day. You know, every company Christmas party ends with
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: people going, hey, did you see so and so last night? Okay?
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: And if you don't know who so and so is,
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: it was you, Okay, So sing all the Christmas carols
• 56:33
  Speaker 7: you want. Just don't be the guy with the Rudolph
• 56:35
  Speaker 7: antlers on standing on top.
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: Of the bar, and you'll be fun. Hey. You know,
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: in three weeks, mom Donnie gets inaugurated. What the hell
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: are we going to do?
• 56:46
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's why the Statue of Liberty is wearing a burkelet.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: I was confused.
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: I'm kidding confused. What are we going to do? This
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: is the truth, man, Okay. My biggest concern as a
• 56:58
  Speaker 7: New Yorker is always going to be for the cops,
• 57:00
  Speaker 7: because they're doing the most important job, and I'm concerned
• 57:03
  Speaker 7: with their morale. In terms of policies. He really can't
• 57:07
  Speaker 7: do anything.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 57:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we're gonna see a lot more tense on sidewalks
• 57:11
  Speaker 7: because he's not gonna sweep the homeless encampments, so it's
• 57:14
  Speaker 7: gonna be like we're living in Colder Portland. We're gonna
• 57:20
  Speaker 7: chase the New York's name to Colder Portland for four years.
• 57:23
  Speaker 7: But I think, and that's why I'm happy Blakeman got
• 57:26
  Speaker 7: in this week too, is that puts enough pressure on
• 57:29
  Speaker 7: Hochel that she really can't sell out to all of
• 57:34
  Speaker 7: the tax things and far left things he would need
• 57:36
  Speaker 7: her to do to implement his agenda, which might just
• 57:39
  Speaker 7: save the city. Just those two being in the race
• 57:42
  Speaker 7: this early have to make her a little more self
• 57:44
  Speaker 7: conscious about blowing it.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: So that's my home.
• 57:46
  Speaker 7: I don't know who's gonna win, but they might have
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: saved us.
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know that phrase. Hochel can't sell out. Yeah,
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: you underestimate her ability to sell out.
• 57:54
  Speaker 7: I do you remember? Do you remember when they were
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: floating congestion from thing and she goes, hard working New
• 58:03
  Speaker 7: Yorkers deserve a break. That's why we're charging you an
• 58:07
  Speaker 7: extra nine dollars instead of an extra fifteen. Oh no, no, no,
• 58:11
  Speaker 7: that's not a break. A break would be we're not
• 58:12
  Speaker 7: gonna do congestion pricing. But instead, no, she raised it
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: by nine bucks. Yeah, she's as big as a scam
• 58:17
  Speaker 7: as there is. No one deserves to lose an office more,
• 58:21
  Speaker 7: you know, and that it kills me. So hopefully, you know,
• 58:25
  Speaker 7: the Republicans get their act together, because if we can't
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: win now with forty percent of the state you know
• 58:32
  Speaker 7: is down in Florida right now putting plastic over a sofa. Okay,
• 58:36
  Speaker 7: if she's not held to account for that, the Republicans
• 58:39
  Speaker 7: are never gonna win a statewide election.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Hey, I'm looking at this. I'm just watching this
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: that's on the screen right now. The big self driving
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: cars in instead of uber drivers, you're gonna have a
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: self driving uber all this stuff. You know, I don't
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: even trust that rumba vacuum cleaner doing it by itself. So,
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: but you used to a driver cab? What you got
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: to have a driver, don't you?
• 59:04
  Speaker 7: One hundred percent? Uh?
• 59:06
  Speaker 13: There?
• 59:06
  Speaker 7: And it's it's for things people forget about other services
• 59:10
  Speaker 7: cab drivers offer. Okay, if you get in a cab
• 59:13
  Speaker 7: at two in the morning and go, hey, where can
• 59:15
  Speaker 7: I find a little action around here? You know, the
• 59:18
  Speaker 7: WAIMO doesn't know how to get the AOC's district, But
• 59:21
  Speaker 7: the cab driver, does you know, you know those wonderful stories.
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: At least once a year a girl gives birth in
• 59:27
  Speaker 7: a taxi because the driver happened to be a licensed
• 59:30
  Speaker 7: part surgeon in Syria. But he can't, you know, work here.
• 59:34
  Speaker 7: That ain't happen in a weai moo. And as I
• 59:37
  Speaker 7: was telling the Lovely Carly Shimkis on my show last Saturday,
• 59:40
  Speaker 7: they say, the AI is so real, real now that
• 59:43
  Speaker 7: it's developing human feelings. Do you really want to be
• 59:46
  Speaker 7: a girl in a waymo that's now in love with you?
• 59:48
  Speaker 7: And is it going to let you out? You got
• 59:50
  Speaker 7: to explain that you're late for the meeting because my
• 59:53
  Speaker 7: car was putting the moves on me.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: Come on, man, hey, Trump arrangements in it just gets
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: worse and worse and worse. Like Rosie O'Donnell, What the hell?
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: She doesn't shut up? If she hates him so much,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: why does she keep talking about him?
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 7: It's killing me. So she does this interview with Jim Acosta,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 7: and the hardest part of the interview is figuring out
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 7: which one's Rosy and which one's Acosta. See they have
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 7: the same glances on and they're sitting there, you know,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 7: hooting and hollered about Trump. If the point of moving
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 7: to Ireland was to get away from him, you should
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 7: be done talking about it. But obviously we all knew
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: that was a stunt. But here's a pro tip for
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: everybody listening. If if you are able to move out
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 7: of the country depending on who wins the election, you're
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 7: doing fine in life. Most people listening right now don't
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 7: have the luxury to just pick up and switch country.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 7: You got up money to do that, you know what
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 7: I'm saying. So at least she held on to some
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 7: of the royalties. She didn't give them all to her
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 7: XANAX dealer.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: Hey, Jimmy failis on w o R every weeknight now,
• 1:01:01

• 1:01:10
  Speaker 7: Jenny Fayla. It is her birthday today, and you know,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 7: booking her on TV and radio is way cheaper than

  Speaker 7: buying her a gift Mark. Come on, man, let's go.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: Well, she seems she seems great, but why keep having

  Speaker 3: a happy.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 7: Marriage the way the way my life works with radio
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 7: five nights a week on O R and all the TV.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 7: They make me do it Fox, and then I go
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 7: on the weekend. I won't usually doing stand up at
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 7: a feeder somewhere. The actually is the only time I
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 7: see her as if I book her on TV.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: So it works out for me, you know, and it
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: does a great show every Saturday night on the Fox
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: News channel ten to eleven. It's at the best monologue
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: that is the best monologue on TV. How long does
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: it take you to do? You don't write that all
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: in one day.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 7: Do you?
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 7: I read it all myself, but I spend the whole
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 7: week putting it together, meaning, you know, figuring out which
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 7: stories rise to the level of everyone in the country
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 7: will know them. And once I've figured out which stories
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 7: kind of have the altitude, you just sit down and
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 7: piece it together. It's your own little narrative. And it
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 7: is the most fun I'll ever have in show business
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 7: doing that because it's just you. There's nobody there to
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 7: save you. There's no panelists to get out of trouble.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 7: And again if it's you're a live TV A lot
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 7: of these nights, if a joke don't work, you gotta
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 7: save it, you know. And it's one thing to save
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 7: it in a comedy club when you're just talking to like,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 7: you know, one hundred screaming drunks in a bassilaurette party
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 7: drinking out of you know, Genitalia straws. But it's another
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: thing when there's a couple million people watching and you're
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 7: on the biggest channel in the world. I love it.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 7: It's a very very high wire thing to do, so
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 7: I'm glad you appreciate it.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 20: Man.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the best monologue in television. He writes it himself.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: Stephen Colbert does a week week monologue and I look,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: he's got fourteen writers. What the hell do these fourteen
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: guys do?
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that is the second biggest scam behind those Somalians
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 7: who got the billion. Actually think I held the Somalians
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 7: in higher regards than Colbert writers, because that's technically a
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 7: bigger rip off.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: Oh that's a good point. So you gotta listen to
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: them every night, nine to midnight. And now your wife's birthday,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: what do you do for her. Were you gonna get

• 1:03:20
  Speaker 7: a play, so I got tickets to see the Michael
