  Speaker 1: You just heard the news.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Now you'll find out what it all means. Hey, smart
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: simone on seven teno long. Okay, we go a lot
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: to get to today. Jimmy Kimmell gets the biggest insult imaginable.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that. We'll get to the way. Do
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: you hear what the Democrats are gonna unleash on President Trump? Next,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: we'll get to that. We'll get to the Ukraine, We'll
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: get to CBS News a lot of changes. We'll get
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: to Bruce Blakeman big announcement this morning. Have a freezing
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: cold outside, colder than Hillary Clinton's smile out there. It
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: is freezing. But you got to give credit to those smokers.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I don't care how cold it is when I come there.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: They are in front of the building out there, going
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: out there to smoke, standing out there in the freezing cold.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: You see the smoke coming out of their mouth and
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: they haven't even lit the cigarette yet. It's just the
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: freezing cold. So let me just tell you this before
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: anything else. Here's what you're gonna hear the couple of days.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: They're getting ready to unleash this. The Democrats are going
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to go after President Trump for mortgage fraud. They think
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: they got him on mortgage fraud. I don't know, maybe
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: they got some who knows. But they've uncovered documents from
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the nineties. They had to go back thirty years to
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: find this. But apparently at the time, in the mid nineties,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: President Trump had mar A Lago then and he was
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: spending a lot of time in Palm Beach, and he
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: started to buy houses near mar A Lago as they
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: came on the market. A couple of nice houses came
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: on the market, and he bought two of these houses,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: and he got mortgages from Merrill Lynch and apparently he
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: declared them his primary residence. They would both be his
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: primary residents. So Democrats, they can't investigate anything. You could
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: steal eight billion dollars in fraud in Minnesota, in that Somalia,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the fraud homeless scheme. They won't investigate it. The New
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: York Times won't even mention it. NBC, abccbist, they won't
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: even look at it. They won't. But these Democrats have
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: been going through every document in the history of Donald Trump.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: They went back to the nineties to find these mortgage documents.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: They think they got them on mortgage fraud. Exactly the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: same thing as Letitia James. I don't know. I don't
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: think so. Merrill Lynch, which is now owned by Bank
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: of America, it's been contacted by the Democrats and asked
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: for copies of this mortgage, and they said it's forty
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: years ago, now thirty years ago. It's thirty years ago,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: thirty two years ago. They said, we don't even keep these,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: we don't keep the documents thirty two years we don't
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: even have to have. So, well, you're gonna start hearing
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: about this mortgage fraud by Donald Trump. Let's see if
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: this amounts to anything. Let's see if the documents are real.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Let's see if any of this actually pans out. The
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: President will be going to the Poconos today. Why is that.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I think there's a casino there. He's going to he's
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: going to talk about affordability, He's going to talk about
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the youet to remember the one thing that's really going
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: to make a difference, ce Ebyody. Are these tax cuts,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: biggest tax cuts in history. And they haven't kicked in yet.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: They don't start till January. So everybody because of the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: tax cuts gets a huge wage increase starting in January,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: a smaller tax bill. It'll make a huge difference in
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the economy. Now, if this is right, what we're going
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: through right now, the economy is pretty good right now,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: It's actually pretty good. Don't buy the fake news. Wages
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: are actually rising all year long. Wages have been rising
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: at a much faster pace. Prices have been going down
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: all year and that's what you want. That's how you
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: get back to normal. Remember, you had the worst inflation
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: under Biden, worst inflation in fifty years. Actually some say
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the worst inflation in history for middle class consumers. So
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: you can't expect that to get fixed in ten months on.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It could take a year and a half to fix that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: But great progress has been made again, Wages are rising fast,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: prices are coming down. So if right now what we
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: got is an affordability crisis, that means we had five
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: times the affordability crisis under Biden, and the same media
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: never mentioned it, never even brought it up. But he'll
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: uh one of the things who told you about this
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: last week. One of the things they've decided is that
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the president has to go back into campaign mode. He's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: going to need to do that a lot in twenty
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: twenty six for the midterms, but they've decided he'd better
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: start doing it now. One of the problems is he
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: redid the White House, and it's beautiful. If you look
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: at the Oval Office, he made it so palatial and
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: so ornate, with the gold all over the walls and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: just incredible. It looks like Versailles. It looks incredible, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it's good because when you bring in foreign leaders, this
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: is the impression you want to make. You don't want
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: it to look like a cold municipal building. You want
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: it to look really impressive because these foreign leaders, they
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: work in palaces, they work in the most unbelievable luxurious place,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: So you can't have them come here and think you're
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: working in this dumpy building. So that's why he did that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: It makes sense. But there's been a side effect to
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: this psychologically. You know, people always thought of him as just,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of the blue collar billionaire. You know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you remember him on the garbage truck during the campaign,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: remember him working in McDonald's. Even the rallies, they were
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: always in a blue collar sort of aerials areas. You know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: they're at in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. They're
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: in Wildwood, New Jersey. They weren't in fancy places, so
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: he looked like a real man of the people in
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: those settings. But now all you see is him in
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: this gold Oliver or Nate gold Oval office. It makes
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: him look it's king like the setting. So they decided
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: he'd better get back on the campaign trail. People better
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: see him back in these regular settings, blue collar settings,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: you know, out there with the people. So he goes
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to the Poken around six o'clock tonight, he'll make a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: speech there, casinos there. I so imagine it's going to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: also focus on no tax on tips, which will make
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: a huge difference for a lot of people. So that's
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: tonight he'll you'll see more of that coming up. Pete
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: hag Ziff, I think that's I think they're starting to
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: figure out that's going nowhere. I think they're starting to
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: realize it's not going to work. It's not going any place.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You can look at the you know, they keep fighting
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to release the video. It seems like the Epstein files.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: There's always something the Trump administers holds back just to
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: taunt these people. You know, it's like a little baby
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: hold something in front of him and as he reaches,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you pull it away. It's what they're doing to the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party. They chase this Epstein files. There's nothing in
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: these Epstein files that you don't already know. And the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: same thing with this video. There's nothing in the video
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you don't already know. And the problem is, if you
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: look at the video, Democrats look ridiculous with their fishing boat.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Theory fishing boat. I'm looking at the video. This boat
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: has four of the most powerful outboard motors on the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: back of it, and those four would cost about one
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty thousand dollars. And when you see the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: video with the four outboards, super high powered outboards going,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: this boat is going like one hundred and eighty miles
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: through the water in the middle of the night. That's
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: not a fishing boat. No fishing boat needs to go
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: one hundred eighty miles an hour. It just looks ridiculous.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: It's clearly a drug boat. So they'll fight for these videos.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Eventually they'll get released, and then the Democrats will look stupid.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And I think they realized the hecsis stuff. They've tried it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: It's not going to work. It's going nowhere. They keep
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: asking Trump whatever hecks wants to do. Is okay with
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: He now says it's under review.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Are you ordering the secretary to release that full video?
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Whatever he decides's okay with me. So every boat we
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: knock out of the water, every boat we saved twenty
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: five thousand American lives. That was a boat loaded up
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: with drugs. I saw the video. They were trying to
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: turn the boat back to where it could float, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: we didn't want to see that.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: No, I remember everything they accused Trump of, every horrible,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: awful scandal thing they find. It's common practice for every president.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Obama was blowing up people all over the world with
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: his drones and in the process killed a lot of
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: innocent civilians. If you go to my Twitter, you will
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: find video up there today. It's Obama making a speech.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Apparently it was slict a little flack about all the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: civilians he was blowing up while going after Narco terrorists.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: He was, you know, you can't help it, You're gonna
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: hit some civilians. Remember once even bombed a wedding. So
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: it's a video of Obama saying, look, it's terrible that
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: civilians are getting killed during these bombings. He said, something
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: will haunt us for the rest of our lives. But
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: it has to be done because we're saving millions of
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: lives by and if we have to lose a few
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: citizens in the process, it's going to have So now
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: this is Obama. Remember he said Democrat, So this was
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: considered very noble of him. He was so noble to
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: say this. Now Trump does exactly the same thing. He's
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a war criminal, He's a Nazi. He's this that. Hey,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman announced he was on Fox and Friends. It
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: was said that he would announced today. He should have
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: known that he's going on Fox and Friends, that he
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: would do it there. I think he surprised everybody. We're
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: expecting an announcement later today, but this morning on Fox
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and Friends, the biggest most watched morning show, Blakeman announced.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I'm very honored and proud that I'm going to be
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: on Fox and Friends with you right now to announce
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: that I'm running for governor of the state of New York.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I'm seeking the Republican and Conservative nominations. We want to
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: put New York first. We want to make it more affordable,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: we want to make New York safer, and we want
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: to make people in New York happy again.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Now, Blakeman is the greatest county executive in America by far.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: County executive is like a governor. He's the governor of
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the county, so he's obviously extremely qualified to be governor.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: He'll do a phenomenal job. He's proven that in the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: last four years. All he's got to do is the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: same exact thing for the whole state. And that's what
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: he was talking about. We're going to win.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: We're gonna win because in Nassau County, which is a
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: mirror image of New York State, the demographics are.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Almost the same.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: I got almost a third of the African American vote,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: when most Republicans only get like nine percent. I got
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: fifty six percent of the Hispanic American votes. I got
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: independent women, I've got independent men, crossover democrats. We won
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: by thirty six thousand votes in a county with one
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: hundred and ten thousand more Democrats.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now people will sit well, at least the phonic
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: you knows, great, at least the funds. She's a fighter's yeah, yah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: she is. But Blakeman has a track record of actual,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: real accomplishment as a governor of Nassau County. Real accomplishment.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I'm ready for the fight, and I'm going to fight
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: for New Yorkers. I'm going to make sure that we
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: do have economic prosperity. I'm fighting for your children and
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: your grandchildren so that they have a bright future. We're
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: going to create prosperity. We're going to make New York safer.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: We're going to make it the Empire state again.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was watching. He was on a bunch of
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: TV shows this morning. One of these shows they thought
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: they had him. You know, you sailed to fix the state.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: You'll do better than care. What would you do that?
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hokal hasn't done name one thing. Well, he rattled
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: up like twelve right away that were all great, I'll
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: get rid of the no bail, no jail, I'll do this.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I'll do that. Now what does Trump do? President Trump
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: has been backing a last staphonic for this. But he
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: loves Bruce Blakeman, and well he's asked about it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: At least is among those who is running for near governor.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Bruce Blakeman, who you also know, are you planning on
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: making any endorsements.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: He's great and she's great.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: They're both great people.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: We have a lot of great people at the Republican Party.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now Trump loves them both, but he's known Blakeman
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: a lot longer. And let's put it this way. If
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: he didn't know these two people, if he had no
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: idea who they were, and Trump was the CEO and
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: had to hire somebody to run New York and he
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: brought these two strangers, and he would go with Blakeman.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: He would look at their records and say, well, they're
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: both good. But you're a legislator, and you are brilliant
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: at the legislating and at hearings in the Congress. You're great.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: But Blakeman is a manager, he's a governor, and he's
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: got a track record. He's got the experience doing exactly
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the stuff this job needs. You don't at least defined.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: So that's I don't know what he does. Because the
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: other problem is they've promised at least deefonic all sorts
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: of stuff over the last year. You know, do this,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: do that, and we'll you know, we'll So he's got
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: a problem there, but Trump will figure it out, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I would assume in the end he's going to back
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman. So anyway, we'll get back to that now.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: The other thing is the Republican Party. There's a New
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: York Republican Party. They say, well, it's at least dephonic,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: we're not having a primary. But this Republican Party, they're
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: very nice people in New York. But the party is
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: like a little tiny thing with three people in it,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: and they don't raise much money and they're not much
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: of a force New York at all, as you saw
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: in the mayoral race. They're not much of a force.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: So Blakeman has a Republican Party in Nasau County that's
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: actually raised more money than the state Republican Party, that's
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: probably more powerful. So that's going to count for a lot.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Uh ooh. Jimmy Kimmel, Now this is supposed to make
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: him look good. You know, there was tremendous controversy. He
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: was suspended, he was going to get fired. They were
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: getting rid of them. They were going to fire him.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: They didn't fire him, They kept them. ABC brought him back.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Everything's great, you're back. Well, this the whole idea of
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: this thing now was to make it look like Jimmy
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Kimmel is all set. You're going to see the headlines
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: all over the fake news late night host Jimmy Kimmel
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: has been re signed signs a big new contract with
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: ABC to continue as the late night host. Now you're thinking, wow,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: everything's great, they re signed him. Not really, not really,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: This is one of the greatest hoaxes ever. Fake News
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: not reporting this. They signed them to the most insulting
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: contract in the history of late night. Nobody has ever
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: been insulted like this in late night TV. When you
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: sign a contract, a television contract, it's always five years.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: It's a five year contract. If sometimes it's ten years,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: like in the case of Oprah, it would be a
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: ten year deal. When you're really big and established for
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: years like Regis would get like a ten year deal,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: but it's always a five year deal. Network always wants that.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: It protects them too, because if you get you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: when you're really big, well for five years, you got
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: your salary locked in. You won't be able to hold
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: them up up for more money. They just resigned Kimmel
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: to a one year extension. It's not a new contract,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: it's a one year extension. That is the most insulting
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: thing you can do to somebody. It's really insulting. Nobody
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: has ever had this happen in late night it's always
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: a five year contract. Now, once in a while, you
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: get a host who doesn't want five years, he'll beg
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: for a three year contract. That way, he's got a
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: little flexibility. But the only other time this ever happened
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: in the history of late night TV was Johnny Carson,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: and it's the reason he left the Tonight Show. He
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: was so insulted by it he left the Tonight Show.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: It was nineteen ninety one. Carson every five years would
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: sign a new contract, and it was a ritual. Every
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: five years, he and his manager, Ed hook Stratton, his agent,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: would go to a nice restaurant in Beverly Hills called
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the Grill, which was a big business lunch kind of place.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: They would go to the Grill, Hook Stratton and Carson
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: and have lunch with the NBC executives who would bring
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the new five year contract. They would sign it, have
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: a cordial lunch, and that was it. And that's all
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: he had to do with NBC every five years. Well,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: in ninety one, they went to the lunch to sign
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: the new five year contract and the NBC executive said, Shannie,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: what would you think of a one year contract, and Carson,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: with decades of experience in show business, knew exactly what
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: that meant, and he calculated real fast in his head
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: that this was the biggest insult. They were trying to
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: push him out, which is actually kind of what they
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: were So, without blinking, without hesitating, he said, well, to
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: tell you the truth, we actually came here to tell
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: you I'm resigning. I'm leaving the Tonight Show. Hookstratton stunned,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: but he played along quickly. He goes, yes, that's why
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: we are here to tell you we're leaving, which really
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: shook up the NBC executive. But Carson said, yeah, that's it.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: We decided this, and we came here to tell you
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I'm going to leave the Tonight Show. If you want
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: me to do this final year, we'll do one final year.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: But he left because there was nothing more insulting than
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: a one year extension instead of a real contract. So
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Kimmel has received the biggest insult you can receive. Carson
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: quit over it. Kimmel will not have the courage or
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: the principle it over it. So but it is insulting. Anyway,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to today. We'll take
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: some calls in a moment. Eight hundred three two one
• 17:07

  Speaker 2: Colombo became a series, they did a movie. It was
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: made for TV movie that didn't take off as a
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: serious so two years later they did a second movie.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: This time it started Lee Grant, who was one of
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: the best Colombo villains because there's a great scene where
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: she just looks at him and she said, you know, Colombo,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: you're almost likable in a shabby sort of way. He
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: goes you Les, you say, saunter her in here with
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: your shop worn bag of tricks. It's a great speech.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Alan yonkers Al. How you doing good? Mark?
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: Nice speaking to you, Mark. You know I wanted to say,
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: like yourself, I think Bruce Blakeman is a great county executive.
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: When he won three four years ago, he was an upset.
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: He wasn't supposed to win. The only thing is I
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: don't know. I'm going to vote for him if he runs,
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: if you know, if he goes to that Pye mariy.
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: I just don't know if it's detrimental that he represents
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: such a wealthy county.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: It's like any other county. There's very very poor areas,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: there's wealthy areas. It's quite a mixture. In Nasau County.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: It's just like Rick State. You know, you said Garden City, right,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: you say that's wealthy. Okay, two feet out of Garden
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: City in Hempstead and it's not so wealthy. I mean,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a perfect blend of every income level
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: in Nassau County.
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: No, I agree with you, and I just told he
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: was able to get that upstate Republican vote. You need
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: that like Governor Pataki to get over the top.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Well, he'll do pretty well. Bruce Blakeman's for you know,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: we'll ask, We'll ask Nasau County resident Bill O'Reilly next
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: on seven to ten w R now more Marximon on
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: seven ten or well on the number one TV A decades.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: The number one best selling non fiction author on Earth,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly yet his latest book, Confronting Evil. Actually, if
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: you want to do some great Christmas shopping all of
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: his books, there's great deals. Just go to Bill O'Reilly
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: dot com. You get the TV show there. Also, his
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: YouTube channel has great stuff on it. Bill O'Reilly dot com.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly, How you doing.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: I'm cold? Uh oh breezy here in the Big Apple correct.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, those people in Florida they don't appreciate
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: any sunshine because they have it all year. Winter makes
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: us appreciate everything and it's beautiful.
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: So I like, you know, the change of weather. If
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: you go to Florida, it's either going to be hot
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: and humid or rainy.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, you're a Nassau County resident. What do you think
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: of Bruce Blakeman running for governor?
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: Long shot? Done a nice job with the county, no
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: doubt about that. Organized county law enforcement's excellent here. He's
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: kept taxes, hasn't dropped them, but no expansion of them.
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: So that helps retirees and people with property tax situations.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: So he's got a record to run on, no question.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: Tough because he tied into Trump and New York State
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: is not, you know, friendly to the President at this point.
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: But look, I applaud anybody who wants to improve the
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: situations of Americans. So we're going to watch it closely.
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: It's gonna be interesting with Stephanic because she'll run two
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: I hope they don't carve each other up.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, President Trump's going back into campaign mode. He's
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: going to the Poconos today. Now, you met with him
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: last week. Did you tell him he should get back
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: into Yeah, I did, Yeah, tell us about that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: It wasn't an extensive it was Look, he was mad
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: at me for analyzing the price situation in America, and
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: I looked at him and said, listen, my job is
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: to tell the truth, not to root for any political
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: party or ideology. And I've done that for fifty years
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: and that's why I'm successful. There is an audience that
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: all I want to hear is what they believe. I
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: understand that, but I've never done that ever in a
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: million years would I do it. So the deficit that
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: President Trump has now is that the perception is the
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: country is too expensive. And he has been through this
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: before in seventeen when the Republicans got waxed in the midterms.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: So all I said was on the air and off
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: the air. The Trump administration has got to be very
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: specific in how it is going to try to bring
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: prices down. That's it. And I reiterated that I'm looking
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: out for him by telling him that because that is
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: the over arch big issue. Nothing else is going to matter.
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: Immigration's under control. That is what is going to make
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: or break the midterms next year.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, he redid the Oval Office with the gold
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: and I understand why he did. It's a great thing.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: But when people see him in this ornate, sparkling gold,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: it makes him look very elite. It was better when
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: they saw him on the garbage truck or in McDonald's.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: So does he realize he should?
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, look, stunts are stunts.
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: He did the redesign of the White House and it's magnificent.
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: I have to say, I'll be going there for twenty
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: five years. Best I've ever seen it was last Wednesday,
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: and at Christmas decorations were great. But he was to
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: send a message that we are the top of the chart,
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: that everything that we have is excellent, if you want
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: to use that word. And you walk into the White House,
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: it's stunning. It's so clean, everything sparkles. The improvements that
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: he may putting up. The presidential portraits in the Rose
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: Garden area are terrific. So I understand the psychology. And
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: you walk into anybody's house, if it's overwhelmingly nice, you're impressed.
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: And it's also a power signal that we are, you know,
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: a very prosperous nation. And now you're in the big time.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: You go to Yankee Stadium, you're in the big time.
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: You go to Sacramento Stadium, you're not. Okay, that's as
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: clear as I can make it.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, Bill, O'Reilly. This Minnesota fraud billions literally billions missing.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: If you want to see how faked the fake news is.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Where's the investigation on this? Why aren't they looking into this?
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: Well? The irony of this whole thing is that what
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: President Trump said in the beginning of the immigration controversy,
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: is all coming true. He and this is harsh. He said,
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: there are certain people who come here that hurt the country,
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: and why should we let them in? Why should they
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: stay if they're hurting the country. So Somalia, if you
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: don't understand, the country is really not a country. It's
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: run by tribes, it's run by terrorists. And we accepted
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: millions of Somalis the United States to give them freedom
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: and a chance of a good life. And they turn
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: around and it's all Somali in Minnesota and steal a
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: billion dollars. So I'd be a little cranky too if
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: why we're the president. Yet when he calls him out
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: on it, he's a racist. That's how the president spends it.
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: Because Somalis are black. No, he's telling the truth. Truth
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: is harsh. As Jack Nicholson once said, you can't handle truth, Okay,
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: So to me, I want this kind of exposure. And
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: here's the kicker, this fraud, massive fraud. A billion dollars
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: in a state of only six million people, that's all.
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: There are more people, okay, in New York City than
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: in the entire state of Minnesota. Wow, Okay, so who
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: broke the story. Colonel is from the Manhattan Institute, not
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: Wall's the governor, not the attorney general. They wouldn't let
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: it go on forever. They weren't even looking. And don't
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: tell me they didn't. No, come on, So Minnesota is
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: the second most generous, if you want to use that word.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: With our money, simone's money, in O'Reilly's money, our money,
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: tax money goes to Minnesota, where more than half the
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: population is on with some kind of welfare. There's second
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: in the in the country on welfare payments, behind Massachusetts,
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: even more than in New York City in California. It's insane,
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: but this is the system. They want government dependence, and
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: that's what Minnesota hats.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Wow, nateware just about out a time, Bill O'Reilly. Somebody
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: wants to do their Christmas shopping. You got your books
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: are the huge bestsellers, great gifts. What can they get
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: at Bill oreilly dot com?
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: Well I did this for a reason. You know. We
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: use the money that we get in the Bill O'Reilly
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: dot com Christmas store to get bonuses to my staff.
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: All right, yeah, and we keep the prices artificially low.
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: I think We're the only corporation in America that does that,
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: because most of my viewers and listeners are working people.
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: So I put together a bundle of fifteen books thirteen Killing,
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: two Confronting for a very low price. You buy fifteen books,
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: you got fifteen gifts. All right, all right, just do
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: the math. You're saving hundreds of bucks. I appreciate you
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: mentioning them, Mark, Thank you.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: So these books are like the Costco hot dog, which
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: is the finest hot dog in America. Costco takes a
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: loss on it because it gets people in the store and.
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: Something like that. But I already have millions of people
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: in the door. I don't need any more in the door.
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: I'd love to have them, but that's not where we are.
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: But when the people spend money on Bill o'reiley dockround,
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: the money goes to my employees, and they're well paid anyway.
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: But you know, these are younger people. They're trying to
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: amass some money to buy a home and things like that.
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: So that's how I designed the thing. I got enough money,
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: and I'm not a money guy anyway, you know me.
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: I'm not stritting around Ferrari and all lad I don't
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: care about any of that.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: No, it's a Lamborghini, but that's okay.
• 32:05

  Speaker 2: Well, another freezing cold data today. It's just I like
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: to walk outside. I like to walk for miles outside.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: But it was not easy yesterday or today. You can
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: hear now. It's good. You get used to it. It's
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: a fun walking out there in the cold. Your nose
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: goes crazy and you can't take anywhere. And I saw
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Sean Hannity yesterday. You know, he's in Florida now, but
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: he came to New York and they get that Florida look.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: He's got that Florida look, which like the perfect sun
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: tan and you know the peop they look more relaxed.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: I guess that's good. I don't know. I don't want
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: the perfect sun. I don't want to look that relaxed.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I like to have that New York you know, that
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: freezing cold face, and yeah, all riled up, kind of
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: New York attitude. But he looked great, and of course
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: you can hear him here today three to six on
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: w R. Let's see now in Chicago, they got snow
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: and everything, so ICE agents were there going after a
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: dangerous criminal who's an illegal alien. He got in under
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Biden and he was, in fact in the Biden reministration.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: They actually did have this guy was so bad and
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: such a criminal. They did arrest him at the border
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: and he had entered the country illegally. This is twenty
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: twenty three in the Biden years. But the Biden deministration
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: released him. They released them. They even granted him temporary
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: protected status. So he's a dangerous criminal gang member. He's
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: from that TDA trend to AGUAD. He's a gang, I mean,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: the most violent, awful gang. He's a member of the gang.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: So he's in Chicago. They're there to arrest him. They
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: got him on a traffic stop. ICE was going to
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: arrest the guy at this traffic stop. So what he
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: did was he smashed his car into one of the
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: ICE agency vehicles, which made it carene into a tree.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is like a blue Blood's chase scene.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: He then fled on foot after the crash. ICE agents
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: chased him. He barricaded himself into a stranger's apartment. Now,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: if you didn't know, I think you could tell this
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: as a criminal. You know, normally on a traffic stop,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: you stop. This guy instead drives his car right into
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: their car and makes him crash into a tree. He
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: jumps out of his car, runs runs into a stranger's
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: apartment and barricades himself in there. I think you could
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: be pretty sure this is a criminal. So ICE is
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: trying to go after this guy. But it's Chicago, and
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: a large crowd forms outside and starts throwing things at
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: the ICE agents start throwing rocks, snowballs, other projectiles. Well,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: but you do have the police in Chicago that says
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: local police refuse to assist or do anything. That's Chicago
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: for you. This is the Democrats of today. And you
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: know if that were your neighborhood, this guy's may remember
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: the most dangerous gang. His behavior on a traffic stop
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: gives you an idea what he's like. Wouldn't you want
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: that guy removed from your neighborhood. Would you want him
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: to still live around the block from you. No, But
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: they're fighting the ICE agents to stop them from taking
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: this guy away. You know President Trump got you didn't
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: get the Nobel Peace Prize that he's so deserved, but
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: he got the FIFA World Cup. FIFA Peace Prize. They
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: decided to award him one that's nice, not for CNN.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Jake Tapper goes on CNN yesterday attacking, viciously attacking FIFA,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: calling their peace prize a joke, ridiculous, legitimate. This guy,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: this Jake Tapper, who tries to occasionally pass himself off
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: as a journalist, tries to pretend he's doing some sort
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: of a news show, going into a tirade denouncing FIFA,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: attacking their peace prize. What does this have to do
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: with doing the news on CNN. I don't know. But
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: CNN is part of Warner Brothers and Discovery at the
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: company that's going to be taken over by Netflix, but
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: probably not. Netflix won the bidding at almost thirty one
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: dollars a share, which means it would take over Warner Brothers,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: which includes CNN, includes HBO, includes the biggest movie studio
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: in Hollywood, all sorts of stuff. But I don't think
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Netflix is going to end up with it. I think
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: this deal is going to fall through and paramount the
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: original bidder who had been too low. I think in
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: the end they'll end up with it. I think they'll
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: end up with it because Warner Bros. Might have agreed
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: to the Netflix takeover, might have signed off on it,
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: but that was the people that run it. That wasn't
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: the shareholders, and the shareholders are upset. They felt it
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: should have gotten a higher price. They still think it
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: should have been more like thirty five dollars this year,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: not thirty. So they're pushing to have this deal undone.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Shareholders have a big say in this. President Trump has
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: indicated he'd rather have Paramount. He's close to friends with
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: the Paramount CEO. The Ellisons also friends with the Netflix.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: But Netflix the bid was too low. That may have
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: to increase it, but it may also just go to Paramount.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: They may end up taking it over. Now, how can
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: you do that when they already made an agreement with
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: the other Well, they would have to break the Netflix agreement.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: And there's a penalty clause of two point eight billion.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: But if Paramount agrees to pay the penalty, then that
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: solves that problem right there. And you're talking about a
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: eighty five billion deal, So two point eight billion is
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: just a tiny percentage. So I think they're going to
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: I bet your Paramount ends up with it. Now there's
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: all fake news is going after Paramount saying they've made
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: some sort of deal with Trump promised to make radical
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: changes at CNN. Well, first of all, CNN is a tiny,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: little nothing part of this company. It's not doesn't make
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: any real revenue for the company. It gets no ratings,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: it has no viewers. And by the way, if anybody
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: bought the company, the first thing you would logically do
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: is make radical changes at CNN. You'd look at it
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: and say, wait a minute, you're in last place and
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: you have no ratings. Of course you got to make
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: radical You can't do what you can't keep doing what
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: you're doing. You're in last place and nobody's watching. You've
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: got to make changes. So any logical owner would have
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: to have to make some changes there. Hey, over at
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: CBS News, they're getting rid of the anchors on the
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: nightly network News. It's Maurice du Bois and who's the
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: other guy, John Dickerson. Guys, they're very the competent, but
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: they're not major league anchor people. They're not you know,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Brian Williams, they're not David Muir, they're not in that league.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Maurice du Bois with the local Channel two anchor John
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Dickerson is like a third string face the nation, kind
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: of a host. So they're gonna they've they've already picked
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: a guy. It's somebody from CBS News whose name I
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: can't remember. He's on one of they. I think he's
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: on the morning show. He's a very good looking anchor.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: He said. I think they've decided let's copy David Mewir
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: because that's the number one show on television, the ABC
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Evening News with David Muir, number one show in all
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: of television, primetime everything. Why, well, it's different from the
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: other evening news shows in that it's slicker. It's really
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: fast moving at desk keeps moving. It's not that political.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: It's political, but there's a million other things. It kind
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: of looks like TMZ or Entertainment Tonight. It really moves.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: And the anchors just a really handsome, good looking guy.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: It's very you know, slick, It's much slicker. So I
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: think they've decided to go in that direction. So they
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: got a new anchor whose name I don't remember. I
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: could look it up, but what's the difference. You're not
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: gonna remember his name either, But he looks very good.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: He looks like David Muir. So they'll probably get some
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: producers in there, could make it faster, tighter, good looking anchor.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: So the little copy of David Muir. That's a good idea.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: It makes sense. Barry Weiss is now running CBS News
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: is going to slowly but surely change everything there. They're
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: going to change all the sixty minutes people. She wants
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: to get rid of what they call the programs older correspondence.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: They're all like eighty five years old, so expect them
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: all one by one to get taken out. Scott Pelly,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Leslie Stall, Bill Whittaker, so they'll all go. And now
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: she's already made a big hire ABC News Matt Gutman,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: you know, the reporter Matt Gutman. She's very high on him.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: She wants him to take quote a major role at CBS.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: He'll be the new host of forty eight hours. Well
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: she hadn't said host, but she'll be the big part
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: of big star of forty eight hours.
• 42:14
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Matt Gutman's reporter with a lot of experienced international correspondent,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff, but his real thing is he's
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: a crime expert, real crime. And he hosted that podcast,
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: True Crime podcast that was top rated, and I think
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: that's what she wants for forty eight hours. You know
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: when it comes to all these podcasts, well, now there's
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: a million big podcasts, but you know, in the beginning,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: the biggest podcast were those crime podcasts. Remember that's what
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: everybody would listen to. They would tell you, well, you
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: gotta listen to this. It's a ten part series about it.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: I remember the killing by the River in Utah ten
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: years No, I don't, but they would listen to this
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: ten part podcast on it. So that's what this guy
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: specializes in. She thinks forty eight hours should be doing that.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: She's probably right. So he'll be Matt Gutman of ABC
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: and his big, big major higher but slowly but surely,
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: she'll change everything over there at CBS and get rid
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: of all those people over there. Let's see the Ukraine.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Zelensky says he is not interested in giving up any
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: territory at all. Well, that throws a huge monkey wrench
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: into the peace talks, because that was the big part
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: of it. Both sides have to make some concessions. One
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: is Ukraine would have to concede a little territory. But uh,
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: he says, absolutely no. This is all probably just negotiating.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: In the end, you'll have to give up something. It's
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: going to take longer than we thought. A lot of
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: people thought it might get done by the end of
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: the year, but that's not going to happen. Hey, Alina
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Haba has to step down as the US attorney. You
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: know the way this works because you hear this all
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: the time when the fake news gets in the middle
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: of it because a Trump appointed judge ruled that, or
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: the a Trump appointed US attorney. Well, when you hear
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: a Trump appointed judge, it had nothing to do with Trump.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: He didn't know the judge. He didn't pick the judge.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: What usually happens is even with US attorneys, it's normally
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: the case that I mean, sometimes Trump will pick a
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: US attorney, you know, like the Southern District here in
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: New York. But most of the time when you need
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: to pick judges or US attorneys, the local senators, the
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: state senators picked the person. The two senators of the state,
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: they recommend them the president ninety eight percent of the time,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: the President goes along with it. Very rarely do they object.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: It's called a blue slip. The senators of the state
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: have to pick the person so they didn't pick Alina Habba.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: The Senate will not confirm her. That's why it's not
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: going to work. And Trump talked about this dumb blue
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: slip thing they have. You've got a blue slip thing.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: That's horrible. It's a horrible thing.
• 44:49
  Speaker 10: It makes it impossible to appoint the judge or a
• 44:52
  Speaker 10: US attorney.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: And it's a shame.
• 44:55
  Speaker 10: And the Republicans should be ashamed of themselves that they
• 44:57
  Speaker 10: allowed us to go on because I can't a US
• 45:00
  Speaker 10: attorney that's not a Democrat.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean sometimes it makes sense because Trump would
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: know any of these people, and he's so far removed
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: from the state or whoever the president is. He's you
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: let the local people recommend. But it's a problem if
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: you got like a sleazy, slimy Chuck Schumer doing the picking.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Or look at Connecticut, you got the two dirtiest, sleaziest senators,
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Chris Murphy and that lying, rotten bloomenfal Can you imagine
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: leaving up to them to pick a US attorney. But
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: that's the system.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: I think I know why they did that to protect
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: their ass Okay, and that's why they did that, but.
• 45:35
  Speaker 10: It should be done away with.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I want to be able to.
• 45:37
  Speaker 10: Appoint great that most highly educated, the most respected people.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: They can't keep that Jebs.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, he may be right. That's why they always
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: are careful who senators want to pick.
• 45:47
  Speaker 11: It.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: They pick somebody they know who will never come after them.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: And that's the idea. So fake news goes after Elena Hobbit.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: This is there's no experience. He's never been a prosecutor. Never. Well,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: that's pretty normal for US attorneys. Chris Christy was the
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: US attorney. He'd never been in the courtroom in his
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: life when he was appointed US attorney. Never wasn't a
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: prosecutor when he was appointed. He's a big, big campaign
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: donor in Bundler. So as a reward, they made a
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: US attorney with no experience as a prosecutor. Haba was
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: a major partner to major law firm where she did
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: it was civil litigation, but a lot of that was
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: about white collar crime, fraud, that sort of stuff. So
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Haba actually qualified.
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 46:27
  Speaker 11: Alena Habba says she's stepping.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Down as US Attorney for the District of New Jersey
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: after the courts disqualified her.
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: Do you have any comment on that?
• 46:34
  Speaker 10: And she's not disqualified you've got a blue slip thing.
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: That's horrible.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: It's a horrible thing.
• 46:39
  Speaker 10: It makes it impossible to appoint a judge or US attorney.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: And it's a shame.
• 46:45
  Speaker 10: And the Republicans should be ashamed of themselves that they
• 46:48
  Speaker 10: allowed us to go on.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: You know, fake news does that a lot if they
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: don't like so if they don't like Pete Heggs, if
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: you hear that a lot. And he was never qualified
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: to be Secretary of Defense. You hear these senators, these
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: low lifes on these talking heads. He shouldn't have been
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: appointed in the first place. He had no qualifications. He
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: has more qualifications to be Secretary of Defense than half
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: of the secretaries of Defense we've had. Many of them
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: had no experience. You know that Chuck Hagel was a
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: congressman all his life and less asphen He was a
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: college professor when he was appointed secretary to most of
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: these secretary defenses don't have a lot of exits. Had
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of military experience when he got appointed. So
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Matt Lower wants to more talk about this comeback than
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Matt Lower come back. Now he's apparently it's the girlfriend
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: pushing this. The girlfriend is also a publicist, so she
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: wants him to come back, and since she's a publicist,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: she knows how to plant all these stories all over
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: the place, trying to engineer this comeback, come back for what.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know what. He's going to come back to
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: the Today Show, I don't think so he can't take
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: him back there. I mean, it's a cuomo trying to
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: make a comeback. You left in disgrace, you left under
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: a cloud of terrible scandal, and in the case of
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Matt Lower, it was real scandal, real sexual harassment stuff,
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: real problem. So who's going to bring him back? And
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: for what reason? You know? You know, if it's like
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Lewis c k well, you know there's a the reason
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: to bring him back. Guy, the guy was funny. He
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: was really funny and a lot of stuff, had a
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: lot of talent. So maybe he's a question mark on
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: this guy, but boy was he good. Let's bring him back?
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Or Kevin Spacey, you know, why would you bring this guy? Well,
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: because he was pretty talented. Watch him in what's the
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: TV show? He did House of Cards or other stuff.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Guy's really talented. No, let's maybe you've been the rule
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: that he'll bring him back because he's really talented. Case
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: of Matt Lower. You can't say he's really talented. He's
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was a pleasant guy. He was nice looking.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: You know, he's older now he's not so hot looking anymore.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: And he's basically he would the teleprompter. I mean, he's
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: not a talented guy. I mean, there's no Matt Lower
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: videos going viral because he was so brilliant. I mean,
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: to bend the rules for him, I don't think so.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll take some calls in a minute.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is number. Oh,

  Speaker 2: He's going to be traveling today to the Pocono's. They're
• 50:30

• 50:36

  Speaker 2: a regular guest on this show for years and years

  Speaker 2: That was his final public His final public appearance was
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: on that show, and then we lost him. But he

  Speaker 2: was a very very funny guy. I remember he did
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: a radio show for years w NBC. Remember it was
• 51:27

  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Joe, Good morning Mark. I
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: loved that Saturday Night Oldie show used to do. I
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: would be cooking Saturday night. Didn't listen to it. I
• 51:56
  Speaker 9: loved it. Mark. First off, I would like to apologize
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: for during the course of this past years, I groused
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: that Trump wasn't doing enough to get rid of congestion pricing. Well,
• 52:08
  Speaker 9: at the end of last week in the Post, they
• 52:11
  Speaker 9: had a full page article detailing about Kathy Hockel's corrupt
• 52:16
  Speaker 9: judges are putting the kebash on the Trump administration's efforts
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: to roll back the congestion price and Trump said that
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: he's taken back to consent agreement that Joe Biden did,
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: and the judges saying he can't. So I apologize.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: That also right now they want to leave it there
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: because it's going to be a factor that works against
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochle on reelection.
• 52:41
  Speaker 9: Well, you saw yesterday in the papers they had this
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: whole article on the front page story the Post of
• 52:46
  Speaker 9: how certain police officers are using up official vehicles to
• 52:52
  Speaker 9: go through the tolls even though they're going home to
• 52:54
  Speaker 9: evade the tolls.
• 52:56
  Speaker 11: Mark.
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: This puts me to my next thing. Zoramandan. He was
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: on i think on social media or on video whatever
• 53:05
  Speaker 9: with this message to the illegal migrants how to avoid
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: ICE agents, what to do in case you're confronted by them,
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: and saying this is what a warrant looks like. Mark,
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: this is a big conflict of interest for Jessica Tish.
• 53:21
  Speaker 9: What is she going to do when there is a
• 53:24
  Speaker 9: major confrontation where police like what happened in Chinatown last week,
• 53:30
  Speaker 9: have to be called to help ice agents out just
• 53:34
  Speaker 9: to get out of the building or something where they're
• 53:36
  Speaker 9: being attacked by in Chicago, what is she going to do?
• 53:40
  Speaker 9: She's he is playing her mark. She should get out.
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: She should follow her brother's lead. Zora Mandani is get out.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Listen. She's not Ray Kelly. She's not the greatest police
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: commission the world. But she's pretty good.
• 53:55
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: If she gets out, you want Mamdani to pick a replacement.
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: Well, you'll watch this. But she's gonna ruin her future mark.
• 54:05
  Speaker 9: She already she did a bad thing. She apologized on
• 54:09
  Speaker 9: behalf of your brother if I ever did that.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: But listen, her future is her ambitions. Every I think
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: she wants to be mayor. She she's not gonna be
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: that great a candidate. She's not exactly the most exciting
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: dynamic speaker in the world. And she doesn't have a
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: great record as police, which is a good record, but
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: it's not a great.
• 54:25
  Speaker 9: But she's she's she's doing good. But this is gonna
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: hurt her. You do you think a lot of Jewish
• 54:30
  Speaker 9: voters they're gonna see a flip flopping. What are you doing?
• 54:34
  Speaker 9: I mean it's like, uh, you're.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Gonna say some flip flopping. But we don't want to leave.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: She's a good police commissioner and we don't want to.
• 54:41
  Speaker 9: Lose, all right, Mark, I'll you know, maybe you know something,
• 54:46
  Speaker 9: Maybe you know something.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know, By the way, I just know she's
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: tough as a very wealthy. She doesn't need anybody's money,
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: so she's not going to cave into any special interests. Uh. Listen,
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: if if mom Donnie picks his own guy, that guy's
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: gonna do whatever he's told by Mom Donnie. You don't
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: want that, all right?
• 55:04
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm just talking about the appearance of conflict. By
• 55:09
  Speaker 9: the way, Mark, when are they going to get rid
• 55:10
  Speaker 9: of Andrea Mitchell at NBC?
• 55:13
  Speaker 11: Uh?
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: You know the problem is that you know she's like
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: ninety seven and a half. You know, Well, he's gonna
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: drop that in any second. I mean, why why worry
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: about it?
• 55:21
  Speaker 9: Because you were talking about them getting rid of all
• 55:24
  Speaker 9: the old fossils at the other.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Netwell that's CBS. Well, CBS brought in a sane person
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: to run.
• 55:30
  Speaker 9: I know, but Andrew Mitchell fits that category, doesn't she Yeah.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: But at MSNBC is still crazy, still nuts. Anyway, thanks

  Speaker 11: encyclopedia Frank Sinatra. But you just take a look at
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 11: the wall of all the photos we have, and almost
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 11: everyone could be traced back to Frank Sinatra, like he
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 11: brought in Jackie Gleese, and who brought in the Rosemary Coon,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 11: who brought in George Corney, you know, And and then
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 11: Jerry Stilla was very close friends with Nancy Sinatra, and
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 11: of course they brought their son, Ben Stilla. He wrote
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 11: the phot Nancy and the Sinatra wrote the forward to
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 11: my first cookbook, and Ben Stilla wrote the forward to
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 11: my second cookbook. And we sell, you know, during the holidays,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 11: we sell a lot of that as a gift. If
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 11: you don't know what to get anyone, we have apasta sauces, mariinada, frodiallo, tomade,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 11: basil and vodka sauce. You can get the cookbooks and
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 11: we have a little gift box at some pasta and coffee.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 11: If you don't know what to get anyone, you go
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 11: to our website, which is Patti's without the apostrop p
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 11: A T S y S dot com. And like you said,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 11: it's our only location. Where on took the between Anst.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 11: And Broadway by Conneie Hall.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: And when you go to Patty's, do not rush right
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: into the restaurant. When you walk through the or stop
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: and look at the pictures on the wall. These are
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: all the customers through the years, all famous, famous faces.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: Look at all the pictures and look carefully the end
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: of the bar. There's a beautiful statue of Frank Sinatra there,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: so that one we got.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 11: It was commissioned by Tina Sinatra. I think there's only
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 11: a nine hundred limited edition. We have that for many
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 11: many years. And then on the upstairs we have a
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 11: smaller statue of Frank Dean and Sammy the rat Pack.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 11: A great, great remembrance. Is great fun. We're is so
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 11: lucky because even like last week, my wife is a
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 11: big country music fan. And Kenny Chesney came in and
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 11: he said the first time he came here was seeming
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 11: like thirty years ago because he heard it was Frank
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 11: Sinatra's favorite place. So you can't ask for a better
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 11: pr guy than that.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: All right, now, let me ask you an important question.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: Let's Sinatra would always pick up the check. Let's there
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: was a whole bunch of people to check. Was one
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars? What would Sinatra tip on that?
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 11: He was easily thirty thirty five percent without and that's
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 11: not including the hundreds he threw out everybody when a
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 11: hundred dollars was a lot of money.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, he was.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 11: He was so generous. I mean, he just was in
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 11: every way, I mean with his philanthropy, with his help,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 11: and the most important point and I know you know
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 11: this mark was he wanted to be anonymous. He just
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 11: wanted to do it because he wanted to do it,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 11: not to get his name in the paper. And that's
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 11: just such a wonderful quality. The man was so ahead
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 11: of his time, even with civil rights though you and
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 11: I don't have to tell you all those stories.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: Now when he was in the restaurant, He's big tipper
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: ended out hundreds and that was like thousands back then. Also,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: how many times would he pick up the check for
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: other tables.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 11: Oh, so many times. There's so many times. The most
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 11: famous one, I think I probably told you New York
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 11: Yankees were in they won the World Series. He introduced
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 11: to each other and at the end of the night,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 11: Sinatra left and Billie Martin was the manager back then.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 11: He says, all right, now that Frank left, we can leave.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 11: He says, give me the check. He says, too late.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Frank paid for you, for the whole team, the entire Yankee.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 11: There was one time, I don't know if I told
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 11: you this story. One time when he said to my father.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 11: He says, me and Barbara and another couple were coming in. Yeah,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 11: I know, it's okay for the other man to pay
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 11: the check. And Ty came to pay the check. He
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 11: gave him his gold American Express card. It was denied.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 11: It wind up that that was the president of American
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 11: Express and his goal call is denied. He thought Sinatra
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 11: was playing a practical joke on him.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: And he was. I don't know how he pulled that off,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: but that was Jim Robinson, right, the chairman of America Express.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: Somehow Sinatra got his card to be denied.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 11: Yeah, they were friends. They lived close together on pom Springs.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 11: I was the one time because he said, I don't
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 11: want I don't want to have owe anyone anything, you know,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 11: because when he was down and out, nobody wanted to
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 11: talk to him. When he came back, he says, now
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 11: I don't want nothing from nobody. So God bless him.

  Speaker 2: Blakeman is better. Stephonica is great, she's a great legislator.

  Speaker 2: She's great fighting on those committees. But Blakeman's a governor.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: That's basically what he does in Nassa County, the governor
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: of the county, and he turns out to be the

  Speaker 2: number one best county executive in America. So it's exactly

  Speaker 2: what you want for a governor. So we'll see what
