- 0:21Speaker 1: we'll get to mom Donnie and the criticism of his
- 0:25Speaker 1: snow shoveling efforts. Also, we'll get to the snowball fight,
- 0:29Speaker 1: as he called it. Arrest has been made. They got
- 0:32Speaker 1: the first guy under arrest. We'll get to that. We'll
- 0:34Speaker 1: get to President Trump, but Kamala Harris, we'll get to Netflix.
- 0:38Speaker 1: We'll get to Vince McMahon, the subways, and a whole
- 0:44Speaker 1: lot more in the Epstein hearings. Today's the day Hillary
- 0:48Speaker 1: Clinton testifies. Tomorrow, Bill Clinton testifies. They've been granted all
- 0:54Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. They don't have to go to Washington testify.
- 0:57Speaker 1: The committee will come to them. The committee is in Chappaqua,
- 1:01Speaker 1: New York right now. They're not gonna do it at
- 1:03Speaker 1: Clinton's house. They're going to do it at the Performing
- 1:06Speaker 1: Arts Center in Chappaqua, which looks like a nice building,
- 1:10Speaker 1: this Chapaqua Performing Arts Center. They will do it there.
- 1:13Speaker 1: They will video the whole thing record it. I don't
- 1:16Speaker 1: know if we'll get to see it or when it
- 1:18Speaker 1: will be released. The committee will do a press conference afterwards.
- 1:23Speaker 1: It's supposed to happen later today, Hillary today, Bill Clinton Tomorrow.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Hillary will testify today. Apparently she's going to say she
- 1:31Speaker 1: didn't know Epstein. She's going to say, I don't think
- 1:35Speaker 1: I ever met him. I don't know if I ever
- 1:36Speaker 1: met him. I don't know if this is gonna hold up,
- 1:41Speaker 1: since then they're gonna find that this pictures of her
- 1:45Speaker 1: and Epstein together, and also they were pretty close to
- 1:49Speaker 1: Gallaine Maxwell. In fact, there's pictures of Chelsea's wedding and
- 1:53Speaker 1: Gallaine Maxwell sitting there at Chelsea's wedding. So I don't
- 1:57Speaker 1: know if they're gonna get away with that. Now she's
- 2:00Speaker 1: going to say, well, Bill went on some business trips
- 2:04Speaker 1: with him, and tomorrow Bill will have to testify. Now
- 2:09Speaker 1: there's pictures of Bill in various hot tubs with Epstein,
- 2:13Speaker 1: women and Gallaine and that sort of stuff, And it's
- 2:17Speaker 1: not going to be easy to answer all that. But
- 2:19Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, unlike Hillary, Bill Clinton is very smooth, very good.
- 2:24Speaker 1: You remember he had to go through a terrible deposition
- 2:27Speaker 1: in the Monica Lewinsky hearings. It's online, you can see it.
- 2:31Speaker 1: There's one private deposition in the White House. The video
- 2:35Speaker 1: is online, you can find it where they go into
- 2:39Speaker 1: graphic detail about the sex he had with her, even
- 2:42Speaker 1: the cigar, I mean graphic detail about her body parts
- 2:47Speaker 1: and what he did. And the camera's right on him
- 2:51Speaker 1: the whole time, and he is very smooth at bobbing
- 2:57Speaker 1: and weaving and dodging those questions, and so he'll do
- 3:01Speaker 1: that with Epstein. Now it's pretty clear he had two
- 3:06Speaker 1: reasons for being around Epstein. Epstein. Obviously there were lots
- 3:10Speaker 1: and lots of women. Doesn't mean they were under age.
- 3:12Speaker 1: There were a lot of women around that were not
- 3:14Speaker 1: under age. He would provide whatever you liked, and for
- 3:17Speaker 1: most of these guys it was not underage women. But
- 3:20Speaker 1: there were a lot of women around. And Epstein had
- 3:24Speaker 1: what they call check's appeal. He would write you massive checks,
- 3:28Speaker 1: he would pay for everything. In fact, he helped It
- 3:31Speaker 1: was Epstein who helped launch the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton
- 3:34Speaker 1: Global Initiative. It was Epstein that financed a lot of
- 3:37Speaker 1: that and got it going. So I guess Bill will
- 3:40Speaker 1: have to answer for all of that. And he flew
- 3:43Speaker 1: with them all over the place. Now, most of these
- 3:46Speaker 1: guys start to lie when they're first asked about Epstein.
- 3:49Speaker 1: They lie. A great example is Bill Gates, who for
- 3:53Speaker 1: weeks and more than months and months he's been telling us, well,
- 3:56Speaker 1: I think I went to his house once for a meeting.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Remember that I did go to town. It was a
- 4:01Speaker 1: meeting about philanthropy. Well, it turned out he was all
- 4:06Speaker 1: over the world with him. He now admits he was
- 4:07Speaker 1: in France with him, Germany with him, He was here
- 4:11Speaker 1: with them, there with him. He now admits there were
- 4:13Speaker 1: a couple of women, which means there were thirty. So
- 4:16Speaker 1: this could happen with Bill Clinton Hill. But he again,
- 4:19Speaker 1: he's very good at dodging those questions. He actually is
- 4:25Speaker 1: a lawyer, I believe. Yeah, he has a law degree.
- 4:27Speaker 1: He'll be able to dodge those questions legally, and they'll
- 4:30Speaker 1: eventually get him on more stuff. But we may see
- 4:33Speaker 1: this coming up. Now there's a Harvard professor who's just
- 4:38Speaker 1: been put on leave. You know a lot of people
- 4:42Speaker 1: at Harvard in big trouble because they were so tangled
- 4:44Speaker 1: up with Epstein. Larry Summers, former president of Harvard, big
- 4:48Speaker 1: trouble because the email's back and forth with him and
- 4:51Speaker 1: Epstein discussing women, and Epstein's guiding him on how to
- 4:54Speaker 1: handle women and this and that. But now there's a
- 4:57Speaker 1: Harvard math professor who just got put on leave for
- 5:00Speaker 1: being tangled up with Epstein. It comes out in the
- 5:03Speaker 1: Epstein files. But to give you an example what I
- 5:05Speaker 1: mean by check's appeal, this is just a professor at Harvard,
- 5:09Speaker 1: a math professor. Epstein gave him almost seven million dollars. Now,
- 5:14Speaker 1: he supposedly was for a program he wanted to start.
- 5:17Speaker 1: He's a math professor and he wanted to put together
- 5:19Speaker 1: some sort of program. But Epstein wrote a check for
- 5:22Speaker 1: seven million to him. So that's why a lot of
- 5:24Speaker 1: these guys are all over Epstein, especially these college people,
- 5:27Speaker 1: college presidents and a lot of other people. He'll just
- 5:30Speaker 1: write your massive checks and that you can make a
- 5:35Speaker 1: lot of friends when you got a big, huge check
- 5:37Speaker 1: book and you're writing checks like crazy. Hey, the Nancy
- 5:40Speaker 1: Guthrie case. I don't know Savannah Guthrie's latest videos. She's
- 5:46Speaker 1: now making it clear that she's fully accepted the possibility
- 5:50Speaker 1: that their mother is no longer alive. She's accepting that
- 5:55Speaker 1: Apparently the FBI yesterday made the final sweep of Nancy
- 5:59Speaker 1: Guthrie's hand. It's been closed, it's a crime scene, it's
- 6:03Speaker 1: been locked up. But yesterday they did one final search
- 6:09Speaker 1: and then apparently they're going to give the house back
- 6:11Speaker 1: to the family, open it up again. It won't be
- 6:15Speaker 1: a crime scene anymore. So that's pretty much admitting there's
- 6:19Speaker 1: nothing else they can do at this point. Now they
- 6:23Speaker 1: say there's still about three hundred to four hundred personnel
- 6:26Speaker 1: on the case, but they're pretty much admitting there's nothing
- 6:30Speaker 1: else they can do at this point except just go
- 6:32Speaker 1: look for it. There's no physical evidence anymore. I'm sure
- 6:36Speaker 1: they've been through all the phone data they can go through.
- 6:38Speaker 1: You know, we've had kidnappings in the past where people
- 6:41Speaker 1: just disappeared and were never found that one of the
- 6:43Speaker 1: most famous ones. Was it in the thirties or forties,
- 6:46Speaker 1: Remember Judge Crater. I think it was the thirties or forties.
- 6:50Speaker 1: There was a famous New York judge, Judge Crater, and
- 6:54Speaker 1: he was they think kidnapped. Know he was never seen again.
- 6:59Speaker 1: It's now almost a hundred years later. We still don't
- 7:01Speaker 1: know what happened to him. But for years in the
- 7:05Speaker 1: fifties and sixties, the comedians would always make jokes using
- 7:08Speaker 1: Judge Crater as you know, to describe somebody who's totally
- 7:12Speaker 1: disappeared and never be seen again. But there was Eton Pates,
- 7:17Speaker 1: remember the young child who was they believed kidnapped and
- 7:20Speaker 1: missing and we didn't know what happened to him, for like,
- 7:23Speaker 1: was it thirty forty years So this has happened before,
- 7:27Speaker 1: and that may be the case. It maybe at some
- 7:29Speaker 1: point it turns up, some point it doesn't. But you
- 7:32Speaker 1: got to accept the fact that it's almost four weeks
- 7:35Speaker 1: now without her medication. He's not a pacemaker, most likely
- 7:40Speaker 1: not alive. And in every kidnapping, when they want ransom,
- 7:44Speaker 1: they send proof of life. They send a video of
- 7:47Speaker 1: the person tied up or something like that. They never
- 7:49Speaker 1: did that here. So now, as far as the Today Show,
- 7:53Speaker 1: Hoda Cottby has been filling in for Savannah Guthrie and
- 7:58Speaker 1: they've told her it's going to be now an extended period.
- 8:02Speaker 1: She'll stay there filling in for Savannah Guthrie indefinitely. At
- 8:06Speaker 1: some point, at some point this is going to be over,
- 8:09Speaker 1: and I guess Savannah Guthrie will return to the Today Show.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Today's show ratings have been way up. Could be as
- 8:15Speaker 1: a result of the kidnapping and everybody going there to
- 8:18Speaker 1: see what they have to say about it, but could
- 8:20Speaker 1: also be NBC Nightly News is way up the Today Shows.
- 8:25Speaker 1: They think it could be the Olympics too. The Olympics
- 8:27Speaker 1: is bringing a lot of viewers into NBC, which would
- 8:30Speaker 1: help the Today Show, which would help the Nightly News.
- 8:33Speaker 1: But twenty three million people have watched the Olympics. Normally,
- 8:37Speaker 1: network TV primetime, you're lucky. If you get four million,
- 8:40Speaker 1: Today's Show, you're lucky if you get two million, So
- 8:42Speaker 1: twenty three million all of a sudden watching the network.
- 8:45Speaker 1: That makes a big, big difference. Hey, President Trump, the
- 8:50Speaker 1: State of the Union was a great example of one
- 8:53Speaker 1: of his single greatest talents. He is so good at
- 8:57Speaker 1: bringing out the worst in his opponents. And when you're
- 9:00Speaker 1: running against somebody, you got to sell yourself, you got
- 9:02Speaker 1: to show how great you are. But you know, sometimes
- 9:05Speaker 1: you can't always do that. But He's got this great
- 9:08Speaker 1: technique of bringing out the worst in his opponents and
- 9:11Speaker 1: then using that to contrast himself. So if you're an independent,
- 9:14Speaker 1: you think Trump's done some good things, but you know
- 9:17Speaker 1: he's hard to take, and I don't like his bedside manor.
- 9:22Speaker 1: But then when you watch the State of the Union,
- 9:24Speaker 1: the Democrats acting insane, acting totally nuts, acting so radically.
- 9:29Speaker 1: He brought that out so well that the contrast between
- 9:32Speaker 1: him and them, He looked so mainstream compared to these crazies.
- 9:37Speaker 1: And they wouldn't stand for any heroes. They wouldn't stand
- 9:39Speaker 1: even when he said, stand up. If you believe the
- 9:42Speaker 1: first job of the government is to take care of
- 9:44Speaker 1: the American people, not illegals. They wouldn't stand for that.
- 9:48Speaker 1: And you remember the crowd started to chant USA, USA.
- 9:53Speaker 1: You never heard them question channing that. But while that
- 9:56Speaker 1: was being chanted, that crazy representative talib you could see
- 10:01Speaker 1: her yelling something while they were chanting USA, She's yelling something. Well,
- 10:06Speaker 1: and it turns out that people around her said she
- 10:09Speaker 1: was chanting KKK. Well, now there's a lot of people
- 10:14Speaker 1: very upset about this, very upset about this. She was
- 10:17Speaker 1: chanting KKK. I don't know anything more offensive she could
- 10:21Speaker 1: have done. There are calls now to have her censured
- 10:24Speaker 1: in Congress. That's a big step and that should happen.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Trump tweeting out that she and elon Omar are mentally deranged.
- 10:35Speaker 1: They should be institutionalized. This isn't him tweeting they had
- 10:40Speaker 1: the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people, lunatics, mentally deranged
- 10:45Speaker 1: and sick who frankly look like they should be institutionalized. Well,
- 10:48Speaker 1: I don't degree, I don't disagree. If she was chanting
- 10:50Speaker 1: that out, just just awful. Remember during the State of
- 10:56Speaker 1: the Union he also mentioned our great mayor, Mom Donnie.
- 11:00Speaker 1: If you're like communists, he's a great mayor. But here's
- 11:03Speaker 1: Trump and even the.
- 11:04Speaker 2: New communist mayor of New York City. I think he's
- 11:06Speaker 2: a nice guy. Actually speak to him aloud. They had policy,
- 11:10Speaker 2: but nice guy just said they want people to shovel snow.
- 11:15Speaker 2: They got hit hard. Want them to shovel snow. But
- 11:19Speaker 2: if you apply for that job, you need to show
- 11:21Speaker 2: two original forms of iday at a Social Security card.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Here's one silly guy that mayor. Now, he's done pretty
- 11:29Speaker 1: well in Manhattan. The snow has really really been taken
- 11:32Speaker 1: care of in Manhattan. Queen's not so much. Brooklyn not
- 11:36Speaker 1: so much. The Bronx actually got off much easier. While
- 11:38Speaker 1: we got twenty four inches in Manhattan, they only got
- 11:40Speaker 1: fourteen inches. The worst place is Staten Island. They got
- 11:44Speaker 1: almost two feet in Staten Island. The borough president is
- 11:47Speaker 1: Veto Fasela. He's very upset. Now. Part of this is
- 11:51Speaker 1: it's tough to deal with two feet, but apparently it's
- 11:54Speaker 1: been neglected by Mamdani and his snowplows, and the borough
- 11:58Speaker 1: president very upset.
- 12:00Speaker 3: Island was truly treated as a second class citizen this storm.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Well it usually is, but it's not right.
- 12:07Speaker 3: The city dropped the ball. Now would we find out
- 12:10Speaker 3: that the state dropped the ball as well? While we
- 12:12Speaker 3: were asking for help and needed help youre on Staten Island.
- 12:15Speaker 3: We discovered that the State of New York sent about
- 12:18Speaker 3: eighty personnel with trucks and plows and everything else to
- 12:21Speaker 3: the state of Massachusetts. Like, who was thinking that that
- 12:24Speaker 3: was a good idea?
- 12:25Speaker 1: Well he's got a good point there. Now. The residents
- 12:28Speaker 1: of Staten Island very upset. This is the worst I
- 12:30Speaker 1: have ever seen this much snow. Yeah, now it's going
- 12:34Speaker 1: to be warm forty today, forty tomorrow, I think forty
- 12:37Speaker 1: seven on Saturday. That'll get rid of the snow once
- 12:40Speaker 1: and for all, and we'll get a little rain over
- 12:41Speaker 1: the weekend, which is you need that that helps wash
- 12:44Speaker 1: away the snow. So that's good news. Now the snowball fight,
- 12:50Speaker 1: and this has got a lot of people upset. It
- 12:52Speaker 1: was not a snowball fight, officers. Police officers are being
- 12:55Speaker 1: assaulted with icy snowballs, being hit in the head, the face, everywhere.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Mamdani said, it's just kids having a snowball fight, and
- 13:03Speaker 1: was not kids. By the way, he's slightly modifying this now.
- 13:08Speaker 3: I've said that what I saw was a snowball fight.
- 13:10Speaker 1: It should be treated accordingly. He was one that got
- 13:12Speaker 1: out of hand, but that's what it was, all right.
- 13:14Speaker 1: First was a snowball fight. He's now admitting it got
- 13:16Speaker 1: out of hand, but it was pretty bad. Now here's
- 13:20Speaker 1: the good news. You remember, they have video of some
- 13:22Speaker 1: of these guys throwing the snowballs. They finally arrested one
- 13:24Speaker 1: of them. Hopefully they'll get the rest. But one of
- 13:27Speaker 1: them has been arrested. He's twenty seven years old. That's
- 13:30Speaker 1: not a kid twenty seven years old. He should be prosecuted.
- 13:34Speaker 1: It is as salt. You can really hurt somebody with
- 13:37Speaker 1: an icy snowball right in the face. It's not a
- 13:41Speaker 1: good thing, cops, because several of them went to the hospital.
- 13:45Speaker 1: You can get seriously hurt with a rock solid icy
- 13:48Speaker 1: snowball hit you. There's a Columbia University professor. Now, I
- 13:52Speaker 1: remember Colombia is a kooky, left wing, radical, crazy university. Now,
- 13:58Speaker 1: don't go near Colombia. Don't send anybody to Columbia. But
- 14:01Speaker 1: the professor was joking about the cops getting hit with snowballs,
- 14:05Speaker 1: and he put out some stupid tweet. His name is
- 14:09Speaker 1: Anthony Zankis. He posted on x one of the NYPD
- 14:13Speaker 1: officers hit with a snowball yesterday has succumbed to his
- 14:16Speaker 1: injuries and was pronounced dead at one pm this afternoon.
- 14:20Speaker 1: He's trying to be funny. The snowman he built with
- 14:23Speaker 1: his two children, now fatherless, still stands on the lawn
- 14:26Speaker 1: of his Levittown, Long Island home. So he's making fun
- 14:29Speaker 1: of the whole thing. He's making fun of cops where
- 14:32Speaker 1: they live, families have fallen cops. I mean, this is
- 14:36Speaker 1: the most disgusting tweet. The professor then went on to
- 14:42Speaker 1: say those that are angry about the snowballs are pearl
- 14:46Speaker 1: clutching conservatives having a meltdown. So this is Columbia University. Now,
- 14:50Speaker 1: any rational, normal institution would fire this guy immediately or
- 14:55Speaker 1: at least suspend them, put him on leave and investigate. Now,
- 14:58Speaker 1: this is radical, it's crazy Colombia. Most likely they'll do
- 15:02Speaker 1: nothing because Colombia is a horrible, horrible place right now.
- 15:06Speaker 1: In fact, they should just shut down the whole place
- 15:08Speaker 1: right now, just shut it right down. All fundings should
- 15:11Speaker 1: be cut off. Colombia is going to take them minimum
- 15:16Speaker 1: of twenty years to recover their reputation for all of this. Hey,
- 15:19Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to today. We'll take
- 15:22Speaker 1: some calls. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven
- 15:26Speaker 1: ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero
- 15:30Speaker 1: seven ten. Oh, we're having that big networking event. We've
- 15:36Speaker 1: been doing these off the year with a lot of
