- 0:23Speaker 1: Today we'll get to we'll get to this Munich conference

- 0:41Speaker 1: Lots of stuff to talk about. Today, we'll get to
- 0:44Speaker 1: a Barack Obama. So yeah, this Munich conference took place
- 0:48Speaker 1: over the weekend. Major major world leaders were there and
- 0:53Speaker 1: it was It's become a bigger deal than Davos. It's
- 0:58Speaker 1: a major, major, major police cle event, and AOC went
- 1:03Speaker 1: over there. This is a chance for her to launch
- 1:06Speaker 1: a presidential campaign because the one thing she's not known
- 1:10Speaker 1: for is foreign policy, being a figure on the world stage.
- 1:14Speaker 1: This was her debut and it was total disaster. It
- 1:19Speaker 1: was absolutely childish, juvenile. People always kind of thought she
- 1:25Speaker 1: was dumb. This confirmed that she is an absolute babbling
- 1:29Speaker 1: yo yo dumber than Kamala Harris. Word salads beyond anything
- 1:34Speaker 1: Kamala Harris could put together, even just simple questions. I mean,
- 1:38Speaker 1: some of it was complex foreign policy, but some of
- 1:41Speaker 1: it was pretty simple. If China invades Taiwan, would the
- 1:44Speaker 1: US do anything? Of course, the answer is yes, it's
- 1:47Speaker 1: always been yes, that's US policy. But she didn't know
- 1:50Speaker 1: what the hell to say. So and listen, she's cute,
- 1:54Speaker 1: she's got a cute way of talking, she looks good.
- 1:57Speaker 1: But he's got an IQ maybe eighty eighty one maybe,
- 2:00Speaker 1: So she tries to answer this question and it just
- 2:03Speaker 1: came out as absolute gibbers.
- 2:06Speaker 3: I think what we identify is that in a rules
- 2:08Speaker 3: based order, hypocrisy is vulnerability, and so I think what
- 2:14Speaker 3: we are seeking is a return to a rules based
- 2:17Speaker 3: order that eliminates the hypocrisies around when too often in
- 2:23Speaker 3: the West we'd look the other way for inconvenient populations
- 2:29Speaker 3: to act out these paradoxes.
- 2:35Speaker 1: A given credit, though, maybe it's better than Kamala Harris,
- 2:39Speaker 1: because she throws in some big words paradoxes, but she's
- 2:43Speaker 1: saying absolutely nothing, can't answer the question, doesn't know what
- 2:47Speaker 1: the hell she's talking about. She was ridiculed all over
- 2:49Speaker 1: the place by Democrats, by Republicans at the conference. Back home,
- 2:55Speaker 1: she got back here and called the New York Times,
- 2:57Speaker 1: apparently very upset about this coverage. Even they had to
- 3:01Speaker 1: admit she was just a complete babbling idiot. So she
- 3:04Speaker 1: called the New York Times to to argue her case,
- 3:08Speaker 1: and they reported that she called and was all upset.
- 3:11Speaker 1: So doesn't look good. Hillary had a problem over there
- 3:15Speaker 1: because at one point they asked her something about Trump,
- 3:17Speaker 1: and she went into an ugly, bitter tirade about Donald Trump,
- 3:22Speaker 1: the spewing hatred about Donald Trump, and the and she
- 3:26Speaker 1: finished the it was a world leader talking or minister
- 3:30Speaker 1: or something, and he said, Dutch minister or something. And
- 3:33Speaker 1: he said, well, it's it's quite obvious you hate Donald Trump.
- 3:36Speaker 1: It was just a silly, preposterous answer. And then it
- 3:40Speaker 1: was a very Every time she spoke, it was bitter,
- 3:43Speaker 1: it was ugly, it was nasty. People have been saying,
- 3:48Speaker 1: what got into her. It's called alcohol, it's called being drunk.
- 3:52Speaker 1: It's called you know, she's like the old woman in
- 3:54Speaker 1: Sunset Boulevard, you know, drunk, living at home, nothing to
- 3:58Speaker 1: do all day, yelling and screaming, about making her comeback.
- 4:02Speaker 1: It's never going to happen. But and a lot of
- 4:05Speaker 1: Democrats are mad at her too, because she keeps pointing out,
- 4:09Speaker 1: you know, everything Trump has done pretty it's been pretty
- 4:13Speaker 1: successful in the United States. The deportation is a good idea,
- 4:16Speaker 1: it's a great idea. It's helping the country in many ways.
- 4:21Speaker 1: But whatever he does something, the Democrats go nuts. It's
- 4:24Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world. They protest, they take
- 4:26Speaker 1: to the streets, they forget. Not Joe Biden, but Bill
- 4:31Speaker 1: Clinton was deporting people like crazy. The greatest deporter of
- 4:34Speaker 1: all was Barack Obama. He deported millions. He did it
- 4:38Speaker 1: with ice agents all over the streets. And you know
- 4:40Speaker 1: who he had run it for him, Tom Holman. So
- 4:42Speaker 1: it was the same exact thing. But so Hillary keeps
- 4:45Speaker 1: bringing this up. And Democrats don't want that brought up.
- 4:49Speaker 1: They don't want remind people that they deported more people
- 4:52Speaker 1: than Trump did. But here's Hillary at the conference.
- 4:54Speaker 4: The more people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama,
- 5:01Speaker 4: without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention
- 5:06Speaker 4: camps than were in the first Trump term or this
- 5:09Speaker 4: first year of Trump's second term.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Okay, there's two problems. There three problems. One she's drunk
- 5:13Speaker 1: and ranting. But problem number one, she's lying about the
- 5:18Speaker 1: deportation centers, the children's detention camps, the concept all of
- 5:22Speaker 1: those were built by Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. You
- 5:26Speaker 1: remember they when Trump took office, they showed you kids
- 5:28Speaker 1: in cages, and everyone, oh my god, how can he
- 5:30Speaker 1: put kids in cages? Those pictures were from during the
- 5:33Speaker 1: Obama administration. They were his cages. He's the one that
- 5:37Speaker 1: did that. So they don't want that brought up. And
- 5:39Speaker 1: she said, nobody got killed. More people got killed during
- 5:41Speaker 1: the Barack Obama deportations. One hundred and twenty two people
- 5:46Speaker 1: got killed one hundred and twenty two during Barack Obama's deportations.
- 5:52Speaker 1: So even Democrats yelling here, just shut the hell up.
- 5:56Speaker 1: But the conference was embarrassing for a lot of people.
- 5:59Speaker 1: New Sim goes over there. Obviously he's running for president
- 6:03Speaker 1: and he wants to look presidential. But his whole speech
- 6:06Speaker 1: was about climate change, which is great if this is
- 6:11Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, but climate change. So Newsom just
- 6:17Speaker 1: looking ridiculously, ridiculously out of touch. Rubio stole the show
- 6:21Speaker 1: with a brilliant, powerful, speech to European leaders. Absolutely stole
- 6:26Speaker 1: the show and really did himself a lot of good
- 6:29Speaker 1: as far as twenty twenty eight. So, hey, the latest
- 6:33Speaker 1: on the Guthrie case. Nothing, there's nothing. There's really no
- 6:36Speaker 1: latest in I mean, the only thing that happened over
- 6:39Speaker 1: the weekend the police announcing they have cleared the family.
- 6:43Speaker 1: You know a lot of people talking about the brother
- 6:45Speaker 1: in law or maybe somebody in the family. The police
- 6:47Speaker 1: have absolutely cleared everybody, which means they traced everything of
- 6:52Speaker 1: every family member, phone records, movements, everything, who they talked to,
- 6:56Speaker 1: where they went, what they did. So everybody's been cleared
- 6:58Speaker 1: in the Guthrie family. She's released new videos talking to
- 7:02Speaker 1: the kidnappers.
- 7:03Speaker 5: It's been two weeks since our mom was taken, and
- 7:10Speaker 5: I just wanted to come on and say that we
- 7:15Speaker 5: still have hope.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Yeah, you can see she's just being worn to a
- 7:19Speaker 1: frazzle by this. It has been two weeks.
- 7:21Speaker 5: Now.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Can you go two weeks without the medicine? If you
- 7:24Speaker 1: got heart trouble, blood pressure trouble, maybe, but it's also
- 7:29Speaker 1: you got her. Remember if this woman's alive. We hope
- 7:33Speaker 1: she's alive. Where would she be would she be tied up.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Would she be in a locked in a room somewhere?
- 7:40Speaker 1: Is she being fed properly? You know, she's eighty four,
- 7:42Speaker 1: not in good health. If you're not getting up every
- 7:44Speaker 1: day and walking around and getting some exit, you could
- 7:46Speaker 1: really deteriorate fast to whoever.
- 7:51Speaker 5: Pass her or knows where she is. It's never too late,
- 8:04Speaker 5: and you're not post or alone, and it is never
- 8:12Speaker 5: too late to do the right thing.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Very tough to listen to all this, This is very tough,
- 8:18Speaker 1: this story. Now, NBC is said officially the Savannah Guthrie
- 8:22Speaker 1: is off the Today Show until she wants to come back,
- 8:24Speaker 1: So she's on the leave now as long as she needs.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Problem in this case, it's an unusual kidnapping. Usually the
- 8:31Speaker 1: ransom note goes to the family, or the ransom note
- 8:34Speaker 1: goes to the police. This is a bizarre case because
- 8:37Speaker 1: the ransom notes are going to a TV station. They're
- 8:40Speaker 1: going to TMZ. That's the other problem. TMZ. It's great,
- 8:44Speaker 1: it's fun, it's Harvey Levin. We like them, but it's
- 8:47Speaker 1: like the National Inquirer of today. So they're in the
- 8:49Speaker 1: middle of all of this, which is never a great idea,
- 8:53Speaker 1: and they're getting ransom notes from all over those And
- 8:55Speaker 1: the problem is Levin goes on the TV all the
- 8:58Speaker 1: time and talks about ransom notes, payoffs, bitcoin crypto, which
- 9:02Speaker 1: just encourages more ransom notes. So they're getting all these
- 9:05Speaker 1: ransom notes, nobody knows if they're if they're legitimate.
- 9:08Speaker 2: I have something to say to you, and I've already
- 9:12Speaker 2: talked to the FBI about.
- 9:13Speaker 1: This, that.
- 9:16Speaker 2: If you are not real, you're committing a crime and
- 9:21Speaker 2: you should know that. And this is a serious federal crime.
- 9:26Speaker 1: All right, Again, Harvey Levin in the middle of this
- 9:29Speaker 1: is not the best idea.
- 9:29Speaker 2: It says, I know what I saw five days ago
- 9:33Speaker 2: south of the border, and I was told to shut up.
- 9:37Speaker 2: So I know who he is, and that was definitely
- 9:42Speaker 2: Nancy with them. This is the second time he has
- 9:48Speaker 2: referred to more than one person involved in this.
- 9:52Speaker 1: He said there, right, it doesn't sound legitimate to me,
- 9:55Speaker 1: But he's getting these things from somebody who wants fifty
- 9:58Speaker 1: thousand in crypto, saying he's saw Nancy saw the kidnappers
- 10:01Speaker 1: and they were south of the border in Mexico. But
- 10:04Speaker 1: I don't know, it doesn't sound doesn't sound believable to me. Hey,
- 10:09Speaker 1: sad news that Jesse Jackson passed away this morning, only
- 10:12Speaker 1: eighty four. Hadn't been well. He'd been pretty bad the
- 10:16Speaker 1: last few years. I think the last time I saw
- 10:17Speaker 1: him was twenty eighteen. Maybe I remember sitting in the
- 10:23Speaker 1: green room with him about to go on a show,
- 10:26Speaker 1: and he was not himself. He was already slipping. He
- 10:30Speaker 1: was not I mean physically verbally. And then he had
- 10:34Speaker 1: Parkinson's And I think the last time we saw him
- 10:37Speaker 1: publicly Democratic Convention twenty twenty four, he was not able
- 10:41Speaker 1: to talk or walk. They brought him out in a wheelchair.
- 10:45Speaker 1: But Jesse Jackson quite a figure in American politics, in
- 10:50Speaker 1: civil rights. He was the protege of Martin Luther King.
- 10:55Speaker 1: And then, I mean, the sad thing is Jackson was great.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Unlike Al Sharpton, Jackson got a lot done, He got
- 11:04Speaker 1: major accomplishment. Sharpton just a chief hustler, just a shakedown artist,
- 11:10Speaker 1: just an idiot on Morning Joe. But Jesse Jackson really
- 11:13Speaker 1: changed things politically in the Democratic Party. Did two major things.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Barack Obama would never have been president had it not
- 11:23Speaker 1: been for Jesse Jackson. Jackson did two things. One his
- 11:26Speaker 1: voter registration campaign was amazing. He registered so many voters,
- 11:31Speaker 1: a lot of minority voters, but he got so many
- 11:33Speaker 1: people registered. It really changed the landscape for Democrats. And
- 11:37Speaker 1: the other major accomplishment he got the rules changed in
- 11:40Speaker 1: the Democratic Party in their primaries. It used to be
- 11:44Speaker 1: winner take all. He's the one that got it changed
- 11:47Speaker 1: so everybody could keep their delegates going into the convention.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Had it not been for that rule change, Barack Obama
- 11:55Speaker 1: could not have won. If it was still winner take
- 11:57Speaker 1: all in the primaries, Hillary would have had denomination. So
- 12:02Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson deserves a lot of credit. Now, he was
- 12:05Speaker 1: a great civil rights leader, he had some problems. He
- 12:07Speaker 1: got caught with some really ugly anti semitic remarks. In fact,
- 12:11Speaker 1: he ran in eighty four and eighty eight, and it
- 12:14Speaker 1: wasn't like Sharpton, where just a court jester at the debate.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Jackson was on his way to seriously be in contention
- 12:21Speaker 1: for the nomination. But eighty four he got caught make
- 12:24Speaker 1: an ugly anti semitic remarks off camera. Happened a few
- 12:29Speaker 1: other times. It was not good. And I don't know
- 12:32Speaker 1: he was. I guess he must have been anti Semitic
- 12:35Speaker 1: if he made those comments. But so the problem is
- 12:38Speaker 1: Martin Luther King starts this great movement and then it
- 12:43Speaker 1: deteriorates into Al Sharpton over a fifty year period. And
- 12:47Speaker 1: the problem is somewhere in between Lewis Farakhan, the Nation
- 12:51Speaker 1: of Islam somehow invaded the civil rights movement, which was
- 12:56Speaker 1: a big problem for the civil rights movement because Farah Khan,
- 13:00Speaker 1: the Islamic stuff brought into the civil rights movement, some
- 13:03Speaker 1: ugly stuff, some anti Simmonsism, that sort of stuff which
- 13:06Speaker 1: they try to keep away, but it's still lurking around
- 13:09Speaker 1: there on the sidelines. But it was Jesse Jackson, a great,
- 13:13Speaker 1: great leader. Eighty four is pretty young, and he was
- 13:18Speaker 1: a great figure in private. He was like a charming, funny,
- 13:22Speaker 1: charismatic guy and great friends with Donald Trump through the years,
- 13:27Speaker 1: great friends with Donald Trump. Now, once Trump ran for president,
- 13:31Speaker 1: they all had to pretend they hated him. But in
- 13:33Speaker 1: earlier years Jackson would come to New York a couple times.
- 13:37Speaker 1: He gave Donald Trump on a number of awards. His
- 13:41Speaker 1: group gave Trump awards for being the best in New
- 13:44Speaker 1: York at minority hiring and doing so much for minorities.
- 13:50Speaker 1: But of course once Trump ran, everybody had to pretend
- 13:52Speaker 1: none of this ever happened. And hey, we also lost
- 13:56Speaker 1: Robert Duval, great actor. He had all kinds of faith
- 14:00Speaker 1: miss lines you know that people remember from ever. I'd
- 14:03Speaker 1: love the smell on napalm in the morning and all that,
- 14:06Speaker 1: And of course the Godfather.
- 14:08Speaker 6: Nobody has ever gone down a New York police captain.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Never. It would be disastrous.
- 14:13Speaker 6: All the Five families would come after you, soney.
- 14:15Speaker 1: The Coleoni family would be outcast, outcast, yeah, and.
- 14:18Speaker 6: The old man's political protection would run for covert.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Robert Devall remember him with Waltz the movie producer, and
- 14:26Speaker 1: of course, hey, don't forget him in Tender Mercy. And
- 14:28Speaker 1: if you just hold the letter, all right, that's not
- 14:34Speaker 1: the Godfather. But hey, they made a great Oscar speech.
- 14:37Speaker 6: What we're really here for is to single out who
- 14:38Speaker 6: we think is the best for that given year. And
- 14:40Speaker 6: if that's what I'm to be this year, then I
- 14:42Speaker 6: appreciate it with I accepted with an honor, and I'm
- 14:45Speaker 6: very moved because of that.
- 14:47Speaker 5: Wow.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Yeah, great actor. So hey, we'll get to the Epstein
- 14:50Speaker 1: stuff coming up. A lot of people have been slowly
- 14:55Speaker 1: getting destroyed by Epstein, the Pritzker family, the Washerman family.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I've been reading through the files all weekend. I know
- 15:04Speaker 1: Epstein had besides his magnificent house on seventy first Street,
- 15:08Speaker 1: this enormous house that he had, he owned some apartments
- 15:12Speaker 1: in just you know, like a regular apartment building. He
- 15:14Speaker 1: owned apartments and he would let people use them. I
- 15:19Speaker 1: know the comedian Bobby Slaton, whenever he came to New York,
- 15:21Speaker 1: Epstein would lend him an apartment. A lot of these
- 15:23Speaker 1: women that would come to town, Epstein would give them
- 15:25Speaker 1: an apartment instead of staying in a hotel. They could
- 15:28Speaker 1: use an eptein apartment. They were nicely decorated. They had
- 15:30Speaker 1: everything in the refrigerator. You can just go use it
- 15:33Speaker 1: while you were in New York. But I'm looking through
- 15:35Speaker 1: the files. Apparently had fifteen apartments in one building, nice
- 15:39Speaker 1: building in East sixty sixth sixty six. The second very
- 15:43Speaker 1: nice apartment building, and he owned fifteen apartments in their
- 15:48Speaker 1: one bedroom apartments, fifteen of them. And the secretary is
- 15:53Speaker 1: constantly coordinating this because people are coming and sometimes it
- 15:57Speaker 1: was a world leader, not a major world but you know,
- 16:01Speaker 1: an next Prime minister or something like that. But the
- 16:04Speaker 1: woman is getting emails from all these Epstein friends, can
- 16:07Speaker 1: I use be in town for four or five days?
- 16:09Speaker 1: Can I get an apartment? And she's writing Epstein, okay,
- 16:11Speaker 1: to give him an apartment, and then he's going, yeah, okay.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Steve Bannon used one. A lot of professors, a lot
- 16:18Speaker 1: of college professors Epstein was working with, would come to
- 16:21Speaker 1: New York and it was pretty complex. Fifteen apartments in
- 16:25Speaker 1: one building. So the woman is constantly sending the assistant
- 16:29Speaker 1: Epstein the's lists of who's in what apartment? We got
- 16:31Speaker 1: him in six A, he's in three J, he's in
- 16:34Speaker 1: eleven B. It's like a massive logistics trying to schedule
- 16:39Speaker 1: all this. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred
