- 0:00Speaker 1: Now more marks amone on sevent ten wa.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Well, it looks pretty nice outside here in the middle
- 0:13Speaker 2: of Manhattan. It looks like I mean, there's some snow left,
- 0:15Speaker 2: but I'd say seventy five percent of the snow is gone.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Sidewalks clear as can be, streets clear, a lot of
- 0:20Speaker 2: people out there, traffic, everything out there. It's getting better.
- 0:25Speaker 2: And again it's gonna be a warm weekend. It'll be
- 0:27Speaker 2: in the forties. That'll get rid of all the snow
- 0:30Speaker 2: once and for all. So, hey, President Trump, yesterday, you
- 0:36Speaker 2: know they had to kill another assassin shows up at
- 0:40Speaker 2: mar A Lago, another assassin with a shotgun and a
- 0:43Speaker 2: can of gas. They said, he got through the perimeter.
- 0:47Speaker 2: For what I'm hearing is he got through the gate somehow.
- 0:50Speaker 2: There's two different gates, well actually three, but some of
- 0:53Speaker 2: them got through one of the gates and was on
- 0:54Speaker 2: the grounds.
- 0:56Speaker 1: They had to shoot him. But the President yesterday, you know,
- 0:58Speaker 1: he's always, always, always talking to the press, unlike previous presidents.
- 1:03Speaker 1: So they asked him a comment about this mar A
- 1:05Speaker 1: Lago assassin that showed up, and he said, quote, I
- 1:09Speaker 1: got a lot of people gunning for me. That's a
- 1:13Speaker 1: pretty good response. He said, you read about all these
- 1:15Speaker 1: crazy shooters, but they only go after consequential presidents. They
- 1:20Speaker 1: don't go after non consequential presidents. So maybe I want
- 1:24Speaker 1: to be a little less consequential. The audience laughed a little.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I know, is that true? They only go out Well, yeah,
- 1:30Speaker 1: they went after Kennedy. Well, there were two assassination attempts
- 1:35Speaker 1: on Gerald Ford. I wouldn't call him the most consequential president,
- 1:40Speaker 1: but they do tend to go after the biggest, greatest names,
- 1:43Speaker 1: you know, Kennedy, Martin Luther, King, Bobby Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln.
- 1:48Speaker 1: But I don't think Ford had two assassination attempts.
- 1:52Speaker 2: I don't.
- 1:52Speaker 1: I mean where they actually had to shoot the person,
- 1:54Speaker 1: they're going to arrest the person. I don't think. Yeah,
- 1:58Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's made that's pretty good. I think
- 2:01Speaker 1: Trump now holds the all time record these assassins. This
- 2:03Speaker 1: guy was young, he was twenty. The shooter in Butler, Pennsylvania. Young.
- 2:07Speaker 1: They're often very young. Lee Harvey Oswold was a pretty
- 2:10Speaker 1: young guy. You got to be young and crazy to
- 2:13Speaker 1: do something like that. President Trump got Mexico yesterday to
- 2:18Speaker 1: handover one hundred cartel leaders drug cartel leaders. You know,
- 2:23Speaker 1: a bunch of Salomonco's, like if you watch Breaking Bad.
- 2:27Speaker 1: They were in Mexico that have been held there, but
- 2:29Speaker 1: the President wants them returned to the United States. He
- 2:32Speaker 1: wants to try them here for crimes against America. He
- 2:36Speaker 1: calls this whole cartel group a foreign terrorist organization. I
- 2:40Speaker 1: don't know how he did it, but he got Mexico
- 2:42Speaker 1: to very quietly ship one hundred of them back to
- 2:45Speaker 1: the United States where they will face justice here. One
- 2:48Speaker 1: hundred cartel members. Now expect Democrats right now, they're trying
- 2:54Speaker 1: to figure out if the cartel has an actual flag.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Expect him to start using that flag on the Facebook profile,
- 3:02Speaker 1: on Twitter. I expect him to start wearing lapel pins
- 3:05Speaker 1: with the flag of the drug car tells. Hey, Gavin
- 3:08Speaker 1: Newsom getting a lot of flak now. He appears and
- 3:13Speaker 1: has appeared for months, to be the leading candidate for
- 3:16Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. He's the guy way out in front
- 3:19Speaker 1: as the top candidate for twenty twenty eight. And as
- 3:21Speaker 1: I always remind you, historically, whoever's out in front at
- 3:26Speaker 1: this point never gets the nomination. If you go back
- 3:29Speaker 1: through history, whoever is out in front three years early,
- 3:33Speaker 1: three years before the election, two years before the election.
- 3:36Speaker 1: It's always somebody like this, always like a good looking,
- 3:40Speaker 1: pretty boy, good on TV kind of guy who becomes
- 3:43Speaker 1: the front runner and then never gets it. John Edwards
- 3:46Speaker 1: comes to mind, Gary Hart. There's a whole bunch of them,
- 3:50Speaker 1: but they never get the nomination. So a lot of
- 3:53Speaker 1: people think Newsom wiped himself out. You know, AOC was
- 3:57Speaker 1: also talked about for twenty twenty eight. A lot of
- 3:59Speaker 1: people think with her ridiculously stupid answer on Taiwan, making
- 4:04Speaker 1: it clear she's an absolute babbling idiot on foreign policy,
- 4:07Speaker 1: they think that's the end of her presidential chances. And
- 4:10Speaker 1: they think Newsom did that this week when he just
- 4:15Speaker 1: put down black voters, minorities he's talking about. You know,
- 4:20Speaker 1: Democrats have a history of this. Democrats will say the
- 4:25Speaker 1: most racist things. And I don't know why do you
- 4:29Speaker 1: think that is exactly? Are they racist or are they
- 4:32Speaker 1: just they're pandering so much that they don't even realize
- 4:36Speaker 1: what the hell they're saying. They're so busy pandering, And
- 4:41Speaker 1: just the whole idea whether the minority voters they cannot
- 4:44Speaker 1: they can't get id they wouldn't know how to get
- 4:46Speaker 1: a driver's license. They won't know how to get a photoid.
- 4:48Speaker 1: It's the most racist thing you could say. But listen
- 4:51Speaker 1: to Kathy Holk of the governor. I mean, who could
- 4:53Speaker 1: say anything this stupid.
- 4:54Speaker 3: Young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't
- 4:57Speaker 3: even know what the word a computer is.
- 4:59Speaker 2: They they don't know these things.
- 5:03Speaker 1: And she's serious about this. They say these things here.
- 5:07Speaker 1: So Newsom is trying to pander to black voters, and
- 5:12Speaker 1: he said, you know, I'm just like you. First of all,
- 5:15Speaker 1: he's not just like anybody. I don't know anybody like
- 5:18Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. He was born a wealthy kid, wealthy family
- 5:22Speaker 1: and privileged kidding, he's a wealthy guy. Now you always
- 5:26Speaker 1: see him in this restaurant, that restaurant on ordering an
- 5:29Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars bottle of wine. He's not just like anybody,
- 5:33Speaker 1: but he it's so insulting. I'm just like you. In fact,
- 5:36Speaker 1: I got an SAT score a nine p sixty, which
- 5:40Speaker 1: is is that low? I guess that's considered very very low.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I probably got an eight hundred. I was the worst
- 5:45Speaker 1: student in the world. But so he's assuming if you're
- 5:49Speaker 1: a minority voter, you must really be dumb and get
- 5:51Speaker 1: a low SAT score. But it's the dumbest thing he
- 5:54Speaker 1: could have said.
- 5:54Speaker 3: I'm not you know, I'm not trying to impress you.
- 5:57Speaker 3: I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you,
- 6:02Speaker 3: I'm no better than you.
- 6:04Speaker 1: You know.
- 6:05Speaker 3: I'm a nine to sixty SAT guy, and you know,
- 6:10Speaker 3: And I'm not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying
- 6:12Speaker 3: to act all there. If you got nine forty, but
- 6:17Speaker 3: literally a nine sixty SAT guy, I cannot you you've
- 6:21Speaker 3: never seen me read a speech.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Yeah, well they cut the clip. I don't know why
- 6:26Speaker 1: they cut the clip. He goes on to say, I
- 6:29Speaker 1: never read a speech because I can't read. He's just pandering.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Now there's a clip of him from about maybe it's
- 6:38Speaker 1: a year ago. I had this clip where he was
- 6:39Speaker 1: talking about some book. He said, it's a three hundred
- 6:41Speaker 1: page book. I read it in one night. It's the
- 6:43Speaker 1: most riveting book. He's going who could read a three
- 6:46Speaker 1: hundred page book in one night? But obviously he reads.
- 6:49Speaker 1: So he's just lying and pandering. But he thinks that's
- 6:51Speaker 1: how you talk to a black audience. Oh, I'm dumb.
- 6:53Speaker 1: I have a nine sixty SAT or you talk like hold.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't
- 7:00Speaker 3: even know what the word a computer is. They don't know,
- 7:03Speaker 3: they don't know these things.
- 7:04Speaker 1: It's the dumbest, racist, most awful nonsense. Now Newsom is
- 7:08Speaker 1: in a lot of trouble for this. Now coming up
- 7:10Speaker 1: this weekend, there's a big conference, big Democratic conference in
- 7:15Speaker 1: South Carolina. That's Clyburn's territory, but it's in South Carolina.
- 7:19Speaker 1: It's a big deal, this Democratic gathering, in fact, such
- 7:21Speaker 1: a big deal. They're going to Joe Biden is going
- 7:24Speaker 1: to come in and make a speech. Joe Biden is
- 7:27Speaker 1: going to make a speech to say you saw how
- 7:29Speaker 1: bad he was when he was in office, Watch him
- 7:31Speaker 1: now that he's rusty, watch him now that he hasn't
- 7:33Speaker 1: done a speech in six months. You're going to hear
- 7:36Speaker 1: a lot of as he tries to make this speech.
- 7:40Speaker 1: But Kamala Harris will be there. So what do you
- 7:45Speaker 1: do about Newsom with this racist crap that he's spewing out.
- 7:49Speaker 1: I don't know what's Clyburn going to do, what's Kamala
- 7:51Speaker 1: going to do, what's Joe Biden going to do? I
- 7:53Speaker 1: would assume that they've had enough of this guy. They're
- 7:56Speaker 1: not too thrilled with this guy. So you might see
- 7:59Speaker 1: them shots at him just to once and for all
- 8:03Speaker 1: get rid of. Hey. You know, the Trump organization is
- 8:07Speaker 1: run by Eric Trump, who's a brilliant, brilliant guy. He
- 8:11Speaker 1: very quietly, you know, he's not a big show boat
- 8:14Speaker 1: kind of a guy. He's a quiet sort of guy. Businessman.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Wrote a great book, by the way, you should read.
- 8:19Speaker 1: But the Trump organization doing major deals all over the world.
- 8:23Speaker 1: They're building I think it's Dubai and incredible hotel. But
- 8:26Speaker 1: they announced yesterday building a hotel. Oh actually it's a
- 8:30Speaker 1: Trump Tower, hotel offices, the whole deal Australia. But it'll
- 8:34Speaker 1: be the tallest skyscraper ever in Australia. Big, big project.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Eric doing an incredible job running that company. Hey, this incident.
- 8:44Speaker 1: If you go to my Twitter you can see the video.
- 8:47Speaker 1: This was horrible, just horrible yesterday. Obviously it was you know,
- 8:53Speaker 1: the height of the blizzard, snow everywhere, unbelievable amount of snow,
- 8:58Speaker 1: and these guys it looks like it's in the park somewhere.
- 9:01Speaker 1: There's the Washington Square parker somewhere. But they police a
- 9:04Speaker 1: lot of police are walking through and these these guys
- 9:08Speaker 1: make snowballs and hit the cops with them. I mean big,
- 9:11Speaker 1: you know, and these were hard. This was wet snow yesterday.
- 9:14Speaker 1: You can make some serious snowballs, but hitting cops in
- 9:16Speaker 1: the head, in the face, it was just awful. This
- 9:19Speaker 1: is the audio. I think. Yeah, it's one thing to
- 9:40Speaker 1: boo the cops, which is pretty ugly in itself, pretty disgusting,
- 9:43Speaker 1: but throwing these snowballs hit I mean hitting them hard
- 9:46Speaker 1: in the face. So and again the good news it's Manhattan,
- 9:50Speaker 1: which means you've got surveillance video everywhere. So Police Commissioner
- 9:55Speaker 1: Jessica Titius put out a statement condemning this and saying,
- 9:58Speaker 1: just to do that is criminal. You've actually committed a crime,
- 10:02Speaker 1: and we will find you. So they're looking for I
- 10:05Speaker 1: got to give these police officers credit. They stayed cool.
- 10:08Speaker 1: They could have responded, they just kept walking. They were
- 10:13Speaker 1: getting hit with a lot of snowballs in the head,
- 10:15Speaker 1: in the face. They kept walking, They got into their car.
- 10:17Speaker 1: They left very cool. Under fire. But the police commissioner
- 10:21Speaker 1: said they will now detectives will now hunt down these guys,
- 10:24Speaker 1: find them. The bad news is it's the middle of
- 10:26Speaker 1: a blizzard, so many of them are covered up with
- 10:29Speaker 1: you know, hood on and scarfs and all that. But
- 10:31Speaker 1: hopefully he'll be able to identify them and prosecute them. Now,
- 10:35Speaker 1: the bad news is, where are you going to prosecute them?
- 10:38Speaker 1: In New York? With Alvin Bragg snowball, He's gonna let
- 10:40Speaker 1: everybody go. The good news is you got if we
- 10:46Speaker 1: ever get in a real trouble with this Alvin Bragg
- 10:48Speaker 1: letting every criminal news, You've got a great US attorney,
- 10:51Speaker 1: Jay Clayton, who is the US Attorney for the Southern
- 10:54Speaker 1: District that's New York City and Manhattan, and he has
- 10:59Speaker 1: said he will step in and take over, you know,
- 11:02Speaker 1: federal charges, go after these guys and charge them federally.
- 11:05Speaker 1: So that would be a great thing. One of the
- 11:08Speaker 1: greatest things I ever saw. I knew a guy he's
- 11:11Speaker 1: no longer with us. Brad Corbett was a great businessman,
- 11:15Speaker 1: and he owned the Texas Rangers, and he was a
- 11:17Speaker 1: big Texan and he although he spent a lot of
- 11:20Speaker 1: his time here, lived here a lot of the time. Anyway,
- 11:23Speaker 1: I was with him, and Nolan Ryan was with us,
- 11:26Speaker 1: the great pitcher at the time. Maybe the greatest pitcher
- 11:28Speaker 1: in baseball at one time. Anyway, We're at this restaurant
- 11:31Speaker 1: in little Italy and it was just like this, in
- 11:33Speaker 1: the middle of a big snowstorm. And we came out
- 11:37Speaker 1: of the restaurant and across the street it's little Lialy.
- 11:41Speaker 1: There's I'm like, tough kids across the street making snowballs
- 11:44Speaker 1: and throwing them at us. Now, who would recognize Nolan
- 11:49Speaker 1: Ryan and civilian clothes, you know, and bundled up. But
- 11:53Speaker 1: Brad turned to him and said, go ahead, get him.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan, the greatest pitcher in baseball, reaches down, makes
- 12:00Speaker 1: a snowball, throws it one hundred miles an hour, hits
- 12:03Speaker 1: the kid right between the eyes, reaches down, gets another
- 12:07Speaker 1: snowball one hundred miles an hour right between the eyes
- 12:09Speaker 1: of the other kid. Is the most incredible pitching I
- 12:12Speaker 1: have ever seen. Now, of course they just turned and
- 12:14Speaker 1: ran real fast, but it was amazing to watch. Hey,
- 12:20Speaker 1: the Epstein stuff. More and more people getting taken down
- 12:24Speaker 1: with these Epstein files. Not Donald Trump, He's got nothing.
- 12:28Speaker 1: The only thing you'll find with him in the Epstein
- 12:30Speaker 1: files is how much Epstein hated them. And there's a
- 12:33Speaker 1: lot of stuff in there. But you know they'll tell
- 12:35Speaker 1: you what Trump is in there thirty eight thousand times. Yeah, well,
- 12:38Speaker 1: thirty seven thousand, nine hundred of the times, it's Epstein,
- 12:42Speaker 1: badmouthing Trump, meeting with his enemies like Michael Wolf, the
- 12:47Speaker 1: horrible little, weasly little guy, plotting against Trump, plotting to
- 12:51Speaker 1: go after him. Even when it's Bannon and Epstein they're
- 12:55Speaker 1: plotting against Trump, talking about Baddie Is. But yesterday, you know,
- 12:59Speaker 1: Prince Ane Andrew of course got arrested. But yesterday they
- 13:02Speaker 1: arrested a major figure in England. He was the former
- 13:05Speaker 1: UK ambassador to the United States. That's a big position
- 13:09Speaker 1: in England when you're the United Kingdom's ambassador to the US. Well,
- 13:13Speaker 1: he was arrested yesterday on suspicion that he was also involved,
- 13:17Speaker 1: like Prince Andrew, with giving Epstein classified documents. He's seventy
- 13:24Speaker 1: two years old. They came and arrested him. He's now
- 13:27Speaker 1: going to be facing some very very serious charges. And
- 13:32Speaker 1: Epstein was very good. Guys like Epstein who are weasily slimy,
- 13:36Speaker 1: with a ton of money, with millions millions. They have
- 13:39Speaker 1: what's known as Check's appeal. You know, everybody loves them.
- 13:43Speaker 1: The colleges love them because they write huge checks. The
- 13:45Speaker 1: charities love him, they write huge checks. A lot of
- 13:49Speaker 1: celebrities will hang around because a guy like that will
- 13:51Speaker 1: pay for everything. You'll lend you his playing, You'll give
- 13:53Speaker 1: you an apartment. You want to make a movie, a
- 13:56Speaker 1: TV show, a project, he'll finance it. And when it
- 14:01Speaker 1: comes to politicians, as who used to say, they're like taxicabs,
- 14:06Speaker 1: you can hire them. When it comes to politicians, many
- 14:09Speaker 1: of them like money. And the UK Ambassador, Prince Andrew
- 14:14Speaker 1: and whatever. If you read through the files, Prince Andrew
- 14:17Speaker 1: is always getting everything from Epstein. I need an apartment
- 14:19Speaker 1: for a week. I need to use your apartment in Paris.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Can I have your current driver? Can I use your plane?
- 14:25Speaker 1: And this UK ambassador now in big, big trouble because
- 14:30Speaker 1: of the Epstein stuff. Hey, yesterday, President Trump, it was
- 14:35Speaker 1: a very touching thing at the White House. You invited
- 14:37Speaker 1: angel families, people have had their loved ones killed, murdered,
- 14:43Speaker 1: Angel Family Day ceremony and the President made quite a
- 14:45Speaker 1: touching speech. Well, a lot of people are a little myth.
- 14:49Speaker 1: They can't believe that CNN and ms NOW or MSNBC
- 14:53Speaker 1: or whatever the hell it is. Refuse to cover it.
- 14:56Speaker 1: It's a very big thing. You know, it's in the
- 14:58Speaker 1: middle of the day. It's not like you're interrupting your
- 15:00Speaker 1: primetime shows. It's the middle of the day usually any
- 15:03Speaker 1: if this were Biden, of course, they would would have
- 15:06Speaker 1: covered it. They would have rerun it eighteen times. But
- 15:09Speaker 1: because it was President Trump and they say it was
- 15:11Speaker 1: a tear jerking event, they didn't cover it. They refused
- 15:16Speaker 1: to cover it. Hey, we'll take some calls next. Eight
- 15:18Speaker 1: hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
