  Speaker 1: Mr. New York is on the case. The Mark Simone
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Show on 710WOR. I'm on the case? Yeah, what case
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is that? I'm just sitting here. I'm the case. Now,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot to get to this hour. We'll
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: get to the ballroom. We'll get to those crazy little
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Harry and Meghan. And a whole lot more. Hey, Lindsay
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Clancy's lawyer. I actually had intended to get through the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: whole three hours without ever mentioning Lindsay Clancy, but there's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: breaking news. Lindsay Clancy's lawyer has now asked President Trump
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to pardon his client. And he did this in a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: very prestigious format, a forum. Good morning, America. If he
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: thinks the president's going to be watching Good Morning America,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you're crazy. Uh, I think he's watching Fox and friends.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: You should have gone on there and done it, but
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: he's on a good man. Good morning, America home of little, uh, George, uh, snuffleopolis.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: So he's asking the president to pardon, uh, Lindsay Clancy. Uh,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: he said, Mr. President, I hope you would consider this
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: young lady, the type of person she is and what
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: she's been through. Uh, uh, I don't know the woman,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: but she just murdered her own children. So that's what
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: she's been through. And consider a pardon. Now, what is
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the argument? I don't follow this case that closely. It's
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that because she was suffering from this mental whatever and
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the treatment, the drugs, everything has caused her to murder
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: her own children. I don't know. Don't expect a pardon here.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: The lawyer, it seems like a good lawyer. You know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: he's 75 years old. He looks like old and distinguished.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: This is the kind of lawyer you'll want if you're
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy because she murdered her children. Murdered her three children.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: One is five, one is three. One was a baby,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: eight months. She murdered her three children. I mean, you're
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the most awful villain in the world. So you can't
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: come in with a hotshot young lawyer. You can't come
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in with a Michael Avenatti or something like that. You
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: need an old, old, old, distinguished old guy. And she's
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: in New Hampshire. This guy looks like an old, old
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire attorney, like an old, distinguished man. You could
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: picture this guy. Remember the original DA on Law and Order?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: What was his name? Adam. Remember the DA? Just look
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: at this wise old man. So you need a lawyer
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that looks like that. This guy's perfect. He's on Good
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Morning America asking for a presidential pardon, which, of course,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: he will not get. Hey, Trump, uh, the Trump ballroom,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: president Trump, uh, has been, he loves to build. Now
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you got to remember one reason for all these building projects. Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's some ego involved and a lot, but,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: but it's good ego. And there's, there's healthy ego and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: there's bad ego. You know, if you're sticking your name
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: on maps or something, that's bad ego. But if you're
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: one of the great builders in the world and you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: happen to be in the white house and you're walking
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: around looking at, uh, uh, looking at stuff, you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I've known a lot of these great builders and that's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: what they do. Wherever you go, you walk into some building,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: they start, you know, look at that, you know, that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: could be fixed and that should be changed. Look at that.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: And that could be, they just want to correct everything.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And he's one of the great builders in the world.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So when he walked into the white house and looked
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: around the first term, he, you know, didn't really do much,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: but he had four years off to think about it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: And when he came back the second term, he was
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: ready to go. There's an entrance that everybody, they call
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it the Palm Court. I don't know why they call
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it that. It's an entrance where all the, when the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: world leaders come to visit, the distinguished visitors, you see
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: them walk through that door. Well, there's this little lobby there.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It's called the Palm Court. And it looked like crap.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: It was like linoleum floors and the walls were peeling.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So the first thing he decided to redo, he put
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: in beautiful marble, make it look elegant, really formal, elegant.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And so he really fixed that up. The Oval Office
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: needed some work now. All right. It's not my taste.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: It could use more paintings. Not 600. He's covered every
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: inch of every wall with paintings. All right. It's a
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: little too much. And it could use some gold trim.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Not every inch, though. There's way too much gold. When
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the next president comes in, he's going to have to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: take down those paintings. The gold is very expensive. It's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: not just gold paint. I mean, they bring in a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: real gold guy to put that gold up. It's a
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: little too much gold. I mean, you've got to wear
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: sunglasses when you're in there. So they're going to have
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to take down some of that. But most of the improvements.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: He put in this heliport, which opened this weekend. And,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of course, the networks ridiculed him and made fun of him.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: But it turns out there's good reason to put that
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: heliport in at the White House. You know, the big,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it's not a regular helicopter. It's an enormous helicopter. military helicopter,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: much bigger than a regular helicopter. So when you see
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: it land on the grass, president walks down the South lawn,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: gets in the helicopter, takes off, and then it comes back,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: gets out of the helicopter, walks up the South one.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It was just landing on the grass and it was ridiculous. Well,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the president noticed, you probably never noticed this. It doesn't
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: really just land on the grass. It has four big
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: sets of tires. And they would put down these four
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: metal plates, these big metal plates. Huge metal plates. You
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: don't really see them. They're in the grass. And that's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: why when it landed, it always landed slow and weird.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: It kind of jiggled a little. Because the pilot had
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to aim and hit those metal plates with the tires.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Because if he hit the grass, he'd ruin the grass.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And apparently the exhaust out of that helicopter would just
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: burn up the grass all the time. It's ridiculous having
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to put these metal plates down. The pilot can't just
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: do a regular landing. He has to come down real slow,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: jiggle around a little, and try to land on the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: metal plate. So it was crazy. So the president put
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: in a heliport, state-of-the-art material, and made it a heliport
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that could handle like a billion tons or something. So
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it's beautiful. It's a brilliant addition. And then when it
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: comes to grand events at the White House, world leader,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the president of China is there. You're going to have
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a state dinner. That East Room of the White House
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: was quite beautiful, but it only holds like a couple,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: 200 people or something. When it's the president of China
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: or a major event, and you're going to have a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: thousand people, they had to go outside and do it
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: at a tent on the grass. And it might be
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: raining or in half the year in Washington, it's winter.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So you're out in this tent, like you're at a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: bar mitzvah in Long Island in a tent in somebody's backyard.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: It was crazy to bring a world leader there. And
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: when he became president, he started traveling to big state
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: dinners in other countries, in England. Remember, King Charles hosted him.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Did you see that room they were in? It was
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the most palatial room. It looked like the Palace of Versailles.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. President of France, they got these incredible
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: palaces they hold their dinners in. And come here and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you're in a tent on the backyard and the lawn.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. So we need a big ballroom that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: can do an event like that. And you're in luck
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: when you need this ballroom. And a lot of presidents
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: have talked about it. You're in luck. You've got a
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: president who's a master builder. Let him build it. Now,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the problem is, and, of course, this will be part
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: of his legacy. He would like to leave some kind
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of legacy. That ballroom that will be used forever would
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: be the legacy. But he knew these Democrats are so angry,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: they get so nuts, that if a Democratic president comes in,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: he's going to tear down the ballroom. He's going to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: literally just tear it down. And put the East Wing
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: back the way it was. And the Democrats would do that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So we find out now President Trump is out there
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a couple times a day supervising the building. And another
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: reason he likes to do this, he really enjoys construction. Now,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: we all hate this. If you've got to redo your
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: bathroom or you've got a leak and the wall is
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: going to get torn up and they've got to redo
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: your wall. It's a nightmare. But for him, and I've
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: seen this with other builders, they love construction. It's fun.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: It's relaxing. You know, some presidents would relax by Obama
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: would play basketball. He'd go outside and shoot hoops. And
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Eisenhower had a putting green put in. He'd go out
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and putt. That's relaxing for him. For Trump, it's construction.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: That's what relaxes him. So at the end of the day,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: he'd spend an hour with the construction. And he knows
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: they're going to tear it down. It turns out they're
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: not using regular material for the ballroom. It turns out,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know there was stuff like this. He's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: building the ballroom so it can't be torn down. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: didn't know there's such a thing as nuclear concrete. Nuclear concrete,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you can't knock it down. It's used mostly in nuclear
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: power plants. It can withstand a nuclear explosion. So I
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: don't know how the hell They're going to tear it down.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: There's also a super powerful kind of steel that's welded
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: together in a certain way. Apparently, it says you could
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: take a jackhammer and stand there for two days jackhammering
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it and you wouldn't even make a mark. So he's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: building this with nuclear concrete and that special steel. It'd
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: be impossible to take it down. It will not be. Now,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the other reason he's doing this, of course, the bomb
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: shelter for the White House will be under there. And
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it's going to have all kinds of special military stuff
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: under the ballroom. So it's to protect that as well. Uh,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: so it's about 400 million to build this. Now remember
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: 400 million is nothing for a government. They'll waste 12
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: billion without blinking on something. 400 million is pocket change. Uh,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And again, it's going to be used forever. A lot
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of donors are paying for this, although a lot of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: donors don't want to pay for it because they're worried
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that when the Democrats get in, if they take over
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the House or the Senate, they'll hold hearings and go
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: after the donors. So a lot of people are afraid
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to be on that list of donors for this. But
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the president loves it. Even his son saying he tells
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: me sometimes like at 930 at night, he's going to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: go over and check on the ballroom constructions. He really
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: enjoys it. But it will be there forever. It's not
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: going to come down. Hey, that awful little Megan and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Prince Harry or whatever the hell he is. I don't
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: know if he's a prince anymore. They're back in England,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and they're hoping to– they could get nothing going here
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: in the United States. They tried. They got a Netflix deal,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a Spotify deal, and everything bombed. Everything was a disaster.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: So for the last couple of years, they were two
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: out-of-work idiots. They couldn't do their taxes this year because–
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: They couldn't get through the first question where it said occupation.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: They didn't know what to put. They're back in England,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: figuring they'll get something going. They'll team up again with
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the royal family. They'll become a part of the royal family.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: They'll be royals. Well, it's not going to work. It
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: turns out King Charles, now he could just ignore them
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and pay no attention to them, but he's really gone
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: after them. King Charles issued a letter. A letter was
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: sent out to everybody in the British government And, of course,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: leaked out to the press and sent out to everybody
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: important from King Charles saying that they are not part
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: of the royal family. They will not be working royals.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: They will do no official engagements. It says they cannot
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: use their titles of his and her royal highness. And
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he says right in the letter, he really went out
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of his way to make this clear. He said they
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: are private citizens with commercial and charitable interests. The message confirmed.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: They have an agreement still in effect that they are
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: not working royals. Additionally, the letter ruled out the Sussexes
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: taking a half in, half out status. In other words,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the king making it clear they're not half in, they're
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: not half out. They are nothing to do with the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: royal family. No connection. The letter added any charitable work
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: they do is a personal matter. and to be undertaken
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: in their private capacity. The letter apparently was also sent
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to Harry himself and to Meghan, to everybody in the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: UK government, military, and all the Lord Lieutenants. Now that's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a real attempt to embarrass them, humiliate them, and shut
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: them down. That's from King Charles himself. So expect them
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to hang around England for six months, maybe the whole
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: school year, And then they'll try another country. They tried
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the U.S., nothing happening for them. They're back in England,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: nothing will happen there because the other thing with this letter,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: since it was made so public, it'll keep every business
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and broadcaster and every media person. It's like a notice,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: stay the hell away from these people. So they're going
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to get nothing going there and expect them to leave
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: England at some point. So a total disaster for these two. Hey,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you know, in New York, they got these, right over there,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: they call that Billionaire's Row. These apartment buildings, there are
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: 100 stories, 105 stories. I mean, there's a whole street
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: of them. And the apartments go for like 100 million,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: 200 million. And over there, there's that one building where
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Ken Griffin bought an apartment, 230 million. They got apartments
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: for 250 million. And people say, oh my God, who
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: would spend 200 million for an apartment? That's insane. Well,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: that's a bargain, actually. Look at this. In Monaco, in
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Monte Carlo, apartments are even more, and they've just opened,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: there's a new building in Monte Carlo, right on the water,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: right in the harbor, Meriterra, that's the hottest neighborhood in
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Monte Carlo, in Monaco. And it's only just going up now,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: but the apartments in this building are going for up
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: to 550 million 550 million for an apartment they're going
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: to be 130 apartments and you're saying this is insane
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: who would i've never got a solid apartment 550 million
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: almost every apartment in a building is already taken it's
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: not even built yet uh you have to put down
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: a deposit of uh i think it's uh 500 000
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: euros well it's not a bad deposit 600 000 uh Oh, wait, wait, no, no,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that's not for the apartment. But there's a billion dollars
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: worth of yachts right in the harbor in front of
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the building. So 550 million, that works out to 13,000
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: a square foot. I think that's the all-time world record. Now,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: that's for an apartment there. Now, one reason a lot
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: of people go to Monaco is to become a citizen.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: It's not easy. It's like a very exclusive private club.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: You have to be, like, voted in. It's like getting
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: into a co-op. They have to let you become a citizen.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Because if you're a citizen, there's no taxes. A lot
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: of people love this. If you're an actual resident, you
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: don't pay any taxes. You have to put down a
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: $ 600, 000 deposit just to become a citizen. It's one of
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the safest places on earth in Monaco. There's one police
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: officer for every 70 residents. And they were the first
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: place to have cameras everywhere. There's not an inch of
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Monaco that's not on camera. So it cuts down on
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the crime. But this new apartment building, it was the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: idea came from Prince Albert. He wanted to do it.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: He got some realtors to do it. Things tend to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: die in Monte Carlo. Every few years, it starts to
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: die out. At one time, it was dying completely. Onassis
• 16:22
