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

Speaker 6: I wish, I wish it was like that. I wish
18:48
Speaker 6: it was nineteen sixty four, you know, But you know,
18:52
Speaker 6: Robert Duval was great. But you know this Jesse Jackson,
18:54
Speaker 6: you know, the last twenty to thirty years, wasn't he
18:57
Speaker 6: just another race hustle on a race baby? As bad
19:00
Speaker 6: as Al Sharpton.
19:01
Speaker 1: I'm sure he profited, but he made major changes. Sharpton
19:07
Speaker 1: has nothing.
19:08
Speaker 6: For everything Donald Trump did to him over the years,
19:11
Speaker 6: and then he pretends like he doesn't know Donald Trump
19:13
Speaker 6: when he becomes president was running for president. I just
19:15
Speaker 6: I never really liked to character of that fellow anyway,
19:18
Speaker 6: just but because of that alone, you know, Donald Trump.
19:20
Speaker 1: But I remember that being so close to Donald Trump
19:23
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden turning on him when
19:25
Speaker 1: he was present. They all did that, from Schumer to Clinton,
19:27
Speaker 1: to Cuomo to everybody. That's it's just standard, but you
19:31
Speaker 1: got to I'm sure Jesse Jackson was able to profit
19:36
Speaker 1: off his activity, but he made major changes, as I said,
19:39
Speaker 1: the major changes in the Democrat Party. His voter registration
19:44
Speaker 1: drive was incredible. It changed the whole landscape for Democrats.
19:47
Speaker 6: Uh.
19:47
Speaker 1: Just I'm just comparing him to Al Sharpton, who has
19:50
Speaker 1: never done anything for anybody except himself. Let's go to
19:54
Speaker 1: Jim in Riverside, Jim Riverside, Connecticut. No, no rivers drive here, Oh,
20:01
Speaker 1: Riverside drive.
20:03
Speaker 10: Yeah.
20:05
Speaker 1: You can't just say Manhattan. You got to tell this
20:06
Speaker 1: Riverside drive.
20:08
Speaker 6: Oh.
20:09
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, Oh, it's a beautiful street. Riverside drive.
20:12
Speaker 1: It's like old old, old, grand, old apartment buildings.
20:15
Speaker 11: And uh I ran into this friendom from thirty years
20:19
Speaker 11: ago from college, Brandon. So what's going on? I said,
20:23
Speaker 11: you know, I remember you worked for Trump, right, And
20:27
Speaker 11: her answer was she goes, yeah, I worked for him
20:29
Speaker 11: when he was a Democrat. She goes, oh, yeah, Trump
20:34
Speaker 11: Tower was full of them and they were all looking
20:35
Speaker 11: for Dems.
20:37
Speaker 1: And then sure it's a hell of a story. Thanks
20:39
Speaker 1: to Jim for thanks, I couldn't your phone kept cutting.
20:45
Speaker 1: Now let's go to Sal in Brooklyn. Sal, How you doing?
20:49
Speaker 8: I'm doing great?
20:50
Speaker 6: Mark?
20:50
Speaker 1: Uh could you come within like one hundred feet of
20:52
Speaker 1: the phone where you're so far away? Yeah? What do
20:55
Speaker 1: you like? Three blocks away? Yeah?
20:58
Speaker 6: All right. Look, we publicans talk about the crimes that
21:02
Speaker 6: the illegals commit.
21:04
Speaker 8: They don't talk about the victims.
21:06
Speaker 6: They should be publicizing them every day.
21:09
Speaker 1: And where are they gonna publicize.
21:10
Speaker 6: Well, on the news?
21:13
Speaker 1: What news?
21:14
Speaker 6: Whenever a public I know.
21:16
Speaker 1: You got to remember they do this stuff, they put
21:18
Speaker 1: it out every day, But what news. I mean maybe
21:21
Speaker 1: Fox Newsmax will cover it, but you're not going to
21:24
Speaker 1: see on ABC, CBS, NBC. They just won't cut New
21:28
Speaker 1: York Times. They'll never remember that poor woman that was
21:32
Speaker 1: burned and thrown into the subway, to remember the other
21:34
Speaker 1: one on the train that was just stabbed from behind.
21:36
Speaker 1: I mean, they just don't cover this stuff. They just
21:38
Speaker 1: cover it up. They don't cover it. Let's go to
21:40
Speaker 1: Dennis and the Poconos. Dennis, how you doing?
21:44
Speaker 8: Yeah? Hey, Mark. I left Sunday. It was minus five.
21:46
Speaker 8: I took the Alpha down on the auto tream in Florida.
21:49
Speaker 8: I'm in the museum and the teachers got the class
21:52
Speaker 8: and she's telling them, the kids about the water rising
21:55
Speaker 8: and Miami's flooding. I'm like, tell them about outside. All
21:58
Speaker 8: the trees are dead, everything dead down here from the cold.
22:02
Speaker 1: Well brutal. Yeah, I mean you can see.
22:05
Speaker 7: You can go.
22:06
Speaker 1: Online and find these videos where all these people are
22:08
Speaker 1: telling you that the ocean is going to rise up,
22:11
Speaker 1: half of Florida be underwater, and a lot of these
22:13
Speaker 1: videos are from nineteen eighty eighty two, and none of
22:16
Speaker 1: this has ever come true. This I think it's one
22:18
Speaker 1: on my Twitter from a while back. It's Dan Rather
22:21
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty saying Florida will soon be underwater. There's one.
22:25
Speaker 1: There's an ABC News report they said Manhattan. Half of
22:28
Speaker 1: Manhattan would be underwater by like nineteen ninety eight. There's
22:32
Speaker 1: a million of these, and none of these people have
22:34
Speaker 1: ever apologized. Al Gore has never apologized for all that
22:37
Speaker 1: crap that he pushed on everybody. One more, let's go
22:40
Speaker 1: to Adam in New Jersey. Adam, how you doing.
22:43
Speaker 10: I'm doing good. Mic listen, I heard a little bit
22:46
Speaker 10: of news about Donald Trump signing some kind of legislation
22:50
Speaker 10: or some kind of paperworker.
22:52
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you got a story very specifically nailed down.
22:56
Speaker 8: Might signed a minute, Give me a minute.
23:00
Speaker 1: We don't have a minute. You got ten seconds, go.
23:02
Speaker 8: Ahead, Oh, ten seconds, Mark, take a breath, Go.
23:09
Speaker 10: Ahead, Okay, I got a breath that he signed some
23:12
Speaker 10: guys on the legislation to rebuild Gaza. Yeah, five hundred
23:16
Speaker 10: billion dollars.
23:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just want to know.
23:19
Speaker 10: Ye, Israel should be paying for that, don't you think?
23:22
Speaker 8: Not me the taxpayer.
23:24
Speaker 1: No, well you're not going to pay for it. But
23:26
Speaker 1: this has been going on for over a year now.
23:28
Speaker 1: This plan to rebuild Gaza country small over the world
23:31
Speaker 1: would come in private sector companies would come in and
23:35
Speaker 1: rebuild Gaza. In other words, they build skyscrapers, they'd build
23:38
Speaker 1: beautiful homes, they'd build casinos, they'd build restaurants, they'd build
23:42
Speaker 1: a museum. It would be an absolute paradise. Now, that
23:47
Speaker 1: population of Gaza, how long do you think before they
23:49
Speaker 1: turn it into a disaster area? Two weeks? But I
23:53
Speaker 1: guess they would have security to maintain it and all
23:55
Speaker 1: that anyway. Hey, when we come back, rob Astorino will
23:58
Speaker 1: be with us. You know he ran for He can
24:00
Speaker 1: tell us a lot about how that race goes, how
24:03
Speaker 1: that plays out. We'll get to that in a lot more.
24:05
Speaker 1: Just ahead on seven to ten WR.
24:08
Speaker 2: Here's more Mark Simone on sevent ten WR.
24:13
Speaker 1: Well, rob ast Doreeno a longtime broadcaster. It was also
24:16
Speaker 1: a Westchester County executive. You can hear him. He does
24:20
Speaker 1: a TV show, Newsmax every Saturday at two o'clock. He
24:24
Speaker 1: GOLs to hear him on WR here Saturday afternoons at
24:27
Speaker 1: four o'clock. Rob Astonino, How you doing good?
24:31
Speaker 6: Mark? How are you?
24:32
Speaker 1: I'm good? Now, Hey, you ran for governor? Tell us
24:37
Speaker 1: how tough is it for a Republican to run as
24:39
Speaker 1: a Republican in New York State.
24:43
Speaker 9: Well, I'm not governor, so that should tell you how
24:48
Speaker 9: odd it is. The biggest problem we face now, Mark,
24:52
Speaker 9: is so many of our voters have left, They've died
24:55
Speaker 9: or there where I just was last week in Florida,
24:58
Speaker 9: and Florida's gotten a lot more red, you know, New
25:02
Speaker 9: York has gotten bluer. Then you have the suburbs like
25:06
Speaker 9: like where I am, Westchester, which has gotten deeper blue,
25:09
Speaker 9: and the city is completely insane. And you know, other
25:13
Speaker 9: than Long Island, which has been trending right, unfortunately, the
25:16
Speaker 9: northern suburbs have been, you know, drifting left, and upstate
25:20
Speaker 9: New York is kind of hollowed out. So the problem
25:23
Speaker 9: is there's not enough of ours to win outright, so
25:26
Speaker 9: you have to pull over so many independents and Democrats
25:30
Speaker 9: and Democrats right now are just not listening to anything
25:33
Speaker 9: that a Republican has to say. We're you know, we're
25:35
Speaker 9: the horns where the devil and and that's tough. And
25:39
Speaker 9: so you get incompetence like Hocel, you get people like
25:42
Speaker 9: Mamdami get elected, and this state just gets worse and worse.
25:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when you get north of Western where do
25:50
Speaker 1: you get up to Rockland and north of the I
25:52
Speaker 1: would think there's a lot of Republicans, No, not anymore there.
25:56
Speaker 1: They're well, they're a lot less.
25:57
Speaker 9: I mean, Duchess used to be very red. Are In
26:00
Speaker 9: used to be very red. Rockland was was kind of red.
26:03
Speaker 9: I mean they're all they're all basically blue now and
26:06
Speaker 9: Westchester has gotten deeper blue. Putnam is even you know,
26:09
Speaker 9: Putnam's a holdout, still red. But it's kind of directing
26:12
Speaker 9: a little bit. You know, you got the people from
26:14
Speaker 9: New York City move up there, they buy their properties
26:16
Speaker 9: and then they start voting you know, crazy. So I mean, look,
26:20
Speaker 9: it's not impossible for Bruce Blakeman. I think, you know,
26:24
Speaker 9: the TDS is a lot less this time than it
26:26
Speaker 9: was in Trump, you know, in Trump's first term. But
26:30
Speaker 9: you just see how hardened the left has become in
26:33
Speaker 9: states like New York where you know, there's no rhyme
26:36
Speaker 9: or reason to anything they do anymore. It's just got
26:37
Speaker 9: to be crazy, woke leftist nonsense socialists now, and that's
26:41
Speaker 9: what they go for. So it makes it a lot harder.
26:44
Speaker 9: And I think Bruce has to talk about other things
26:46
Speaker 9: other than just crime because you know a lot of places,
26:50
Speaker 9: like in the suburbs, people don't necessarily feel unsafe. Crime
26:55
Speaker 9: is an issue, but you know they're ready to walk
26:57
Speaker 9: out at nighttime and take a walk around their neghborhood.
27:00
Speaker 9: They don't feel the fear that you might in New
27:02
Speaker 9: York City. But economics, things like energy costs, you know,
27:07
Speaker 9: all those things are really important to a lot of
27:09
Speaker 9: different people where you can get crossover votes.
27:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, Blakeman is great on energy costs. He's great on
27:14
Speaker 1: keeping taxes down. He's great on that stuff.
27:16
Speaker 9: Yeah.
27:17
Speaker 1: So hey, our old buddy Andrew Cuomo. He's doing a
27:23
Speaker 1: radio show now. It's god, it's a bad show.
27:26
Speaker 9: But oh it's unlistenable. Oh my god, you want to
27:28
Speaker 9: you want to stick your fingers in your ear and
27:30
Speaker 9: just pull your ear drum out.
27:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's so awful. But where did he he?
27:35
Speaker 1: I don't know where he got the nerve to run
27:37
Speaker 1: for mayor. He just left his governor. He left in disgrace.
27:41
Speaker 1: He left all but he being chased by the police
27:43
Speaker 1: out of there. H Does he have any political future?
27:48
Speaker 6: Uh?
27:49
Speaker 9: Well, I don't know. I think the Democratic Party has
27:52
Speaker 9: moved on for him and that's his only future, right,
27:54
Speaker 9: And he's become a dinosaur with a terrible record, and
27:58
Speaker 9: he again, you know, like the Chuck Schumer's duck is
28:01
Speaker 9: only there, I think because he still has time left
28:03
Speaker 9: in his term. But I don't know if he's going
28:05
Speaker 9: to get re elected. I think honestly, he again he's
28:09
Speaker 9: looked over and he's like nobody's around him anymore because
28:12
Speaker 9: they're so far over with AOC and Ma'm dami people
28:16
Speaker 9: that let's be honest. I mean Schumer, that's not really
28:19
Speaker 9: who he is. He's he's played the role and he's
28:22
Speaker 9: appeased them because he wants to stay just you know,
28:25
Speaker 9: basically stay in power, do anything that's not necessarily who
28:29
Speaker 9: he really has been. But there, I mean, his party's
28:32
Speaker 9: left him and so he's kind of still standing only
28:35
Speaker 9: because he has, you know, a couple of years left
28:37
Speaker 9: in his term. I'm not so sure he's gonna run
28:39
Speaker 9: for reelection. By the way, I don't think at that
28:42
Speaker 9: age he's got the fight in him for what's going
28:44
Speaker 9: to be grueling primary, uh, and you know, and traveling
28:48
Speaker 9: around the state left and right. I'm just not so
28:50
Speaker 9: sure that's that's left in him.
28:52
Speaker 1: I don't know, give him credit. You've got new glasses.
28:54
Speaker 1: I know you've said been at a lot, but hey,
28:59
Speaker 1: you were a county executive. What happens when you get
29:02
Speaker 1: a snowfall like we had like ten twelve inches and
29:04
Speaker 1: it stays freezing for weeks and there is everybody yelling
29:07
Speaker 1: at you that street's not clean, pick up the snow.
29:10
Speaker 1: Is it a big headache for a governor, a county executive.
29:14
Speaker 9: So the funny part Mark and this is just between us,
29:17
Speaker 9: so do not tell anybody. So people would always ask me,
29:19
Speaker 9: like during a major snowstorm, you know, or big weather incident,
29:24
Speaker 9: you know, what does the county executive do? And I
29:27
Speaker 9: tell them, you know what I do. I kind of
29:29
Speaker 9: do what everyone else does. I watch it because I'm
29:32
Speaker 9: not on the plows. I just got to make sure
29:34
Speaker 9: that they're doing their job, and they basically do. I
29:36
Speaker 9: get my little weather jacket, you know, in my little
29:38
Speaker 9: executive jacket, and go do the media stuff and just
29:42
Speaker 9: tell people what they already know, like, you know, stay inside,
29:44
Speaker 9: it's bad.
29:45
Speaker 1: Out, don't don't drive.
29:46
Speaker 9: But other than that, you know, you just want to
29:48
Speaker 9: make sure everyone's doing their job, which they are. I think.
29:51
Speaker 9: You know, look, the roads have to be clear. That's
29:53
Speaker 9: the biggest issue. And man, Donnie found that out. Not
29:56
Speaker 9: only the garbage, but it was an absolute utter mess.
30:00
Speaker 9: The horrible part is when all this crap melts, you're
30:03
Speaker 9: going to see nothing but blah and then you had
30:06
Speaker 9: to clean it. Oh, it's awful, awful.
30:09
Speaker 1: Hey, let me ask you this. Cardinal Dolan. Good news
30:11
Speaker 1: is he's staying in New York. He's going to live
30:13
Speaker 1: here in the in Murray Hill actually, and I'm not
30:16
Speaker 1: crazy about this new archbishop. I don't know. Little he's
30:20
Speaker 1: a little woke, hasn't he.
30:23
Speaker 9: I would give him a shot, you know. I think
30:26
Speaker 9: he's definitely got the lineage of Chicago. There's no question
30:29
Speaker 9: about it. Cardinal Souppitch, who is pretty to the left,
30:33
Speaker 9: he's the cardinal Archbishop of Chicago, very close to the pope,
30:37
Speaker 9: you know. But Archbishop Hicks, I mean, it's not fair
30:41
Speaker 9: to say that this guy had no training or whatsoever.
30:43
Speaker 9: He came from a small, little po dunk place. He didn't.
30:46
Speaker 9: Joliet is like the suburbs of New York City, right,
30:48
Speaker 9: It's a big enough diocese said of its own. But
30:50
Speaker 9: he was also in Chicago. I mean he was. He
30:53
Speaker 9: was an auxiliary bishop, so he ran a lot of
30:55
Speaker 9: the day to day of the Chicago archdiocese. So, I mean,
30:58
Speaker 9: he's been in a big city. I would just give
31:01
Speaker 9: the guy, you know, some slack. Let's see where he
31:04
Speaker 9: goes first. I mean, it's so hard to replace card No.
31:07
Speaker 9: One because he's so he's just so affable and so
31:11
Speaker 9: really good at what he did. But you know, we
31:15
Speaker 9: gotta change.
31:15
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, you're being very diplomatic. Well, anyway. You can listen
31:18
Speaker 1: to rab Estino Saturday, Saturday afternoon at four o'clock. He's
31:22
Speaker 1: on WOR four o'clock on Saturday afternon and News Max.
31:25
Speaker 1: You're on two o'clock on Saturdays.
31:26
Speaker 9: Right, one o'clock, three.
31:29
Speaker 1: One to three, one to three on News Max on Saturdays,
31:32
Speaker 1: and four o'clock on seven to ten WOR. Rob Astarino,
31:36
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us.
31:38
Speaker 9: Good to talk to you.
31:39
Speaker 1: Mark, take care. Hey, don't forget Buck and Clay will
31:42
Speaker 1: be here at noon today. Don't forget it's it's not Monday.
31:44
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday. Everything is Monday. It's Tuesday, Buck and Clay
31:48
Speaker 1: at noon. You got the most listened to radio show
31:51
Speaker 1: in America, Sean Hannity at three, Jesse Kelly at six,
31:54
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Fayla. I love listening to him every night,
31:57
Speaker 1: great show nine o'clock here on seven TENR.
32:01
Speaker 10: He knows his way around all this.
32:05
Speaker 11: It's the Mark Simone Show on seven TENR.
32:12
Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, it's Tuesday, Now Monday, it's Tuesday. You got
32:16
Speaker 1: four weeks until spring. That's it, four weeks, you know,
32:19
Speaker 1: and for the next it's gonna be in the forties
32:21
Speaker 1: all this week, So all the snow will melt, it'll
32:24
Speaker 1: be gone the next day or two, and then it's
32:27
Speaker 1: gonna rain a little here and there that will help
32:29
Speaker 1: wash away all that stuff. And then forties all this
32:33
Speaker 1: coming week, and then next week should be upper thirties forties,
32:37
Speaker 1: so that's it. And then after that you got two
32:39
Speaker 1: weeks until spring. So I think you got through the
32:42
Speaker 1: worst of it. That's pretty good. CBS News, you know,
32:46
Speaker 1: they've been laying off people, trying to get rid of people.
32:48
Speaker 1: Looks like now they're gonna cut fifteen percent of the
32:52
Speaker 1: staff at CBS News. They want to get rid of
32:55
Speaker 1: fifteen percent of the staff. Also, we'll get into this
32:57
Speaker 1: in the next hour. Some other changes coming to cbay.
33:00
Speaker 1: They wanted a little more fair and balanced. Colbert is
33:04
Speaker 1: all up in arms. He's all crazy now because they've well,
33:07
Speaker 1: we'll get to it the next hour. They're trying to
33:10
Speaker 1: straighten out his show. Anderson Cooper, by the way, leaving
33:13
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. They offered him a new contract. He didn't
33:18
Speaker 1: take it. I have a feeling they tried to cut
33:20
Speaker 1: him a lot. You know, they were paying these people millions.
33:23
Speaker 1: Sixteen minutes used to be the number one show on
33:24
Speaker 1: television used to have fifty million viewers. Now it's like
33:27
Speaker 1: two million viewers. They got to cut every salary, so
33:30
Speaker 1: he's leaving sixty minutes. We'll be back after the news.
33:33
Speaker 1: Another hour to go, lots to talk about, so don't
33:36
Speaker 1: go away. I'm here every day ten to noon or
