• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Show on seven tenor.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, there's a lot happening. We'll get to Cardinal
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Dolan is leaving. That's very bad news. We'll get to
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Brown University that presidents should be leaving. Just horrible job
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: she's done. We'll get to President Trump. We'll get to
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the speech last night, a bit of a dud, but
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: we'll get to something else he did yesterday that is
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: going to upset everybody. It's not the right thing to do.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't do it, but it's good that it just
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: drives these democrats in the media absolutely crazy. We'll get
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: to that, We'll get to Nick Reiner, and we'll get
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: to Jack Smith and a whole lot more. Hey, this
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: just breaking this morning. The Oscars scene on ABC TV
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: for decades decades, Oscar Sunday Night, ABC Oscars Channel seven,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: ABC TV for decades and decades. And I think before that,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: in its first few years, was NBC. I think I
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: think that's why Bob Hope was the host and Johnny Carson,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: but it moved to ABC where it's been for decades. Well,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: they lost the Oscars, They've got it for the next
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: two years, but then it moves to YouTube. YouTube got
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the oscars. Now, YouTube is really taken over television. You know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: as a network, TV completely dies and has fewer and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: fewer viewers every second. You think that Netflix and the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: streaming services are taken over, but it's really YouTube that's
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: capturing the biggest share of the television audience. YouTube is
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: going to be the biggest thing. Now, this is a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: big step getting the oscars. We always assumed Amazon or
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Netflix would get the NFL or Major League base Keep
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: an eye on YouTube. Now the Oscars on YouTube. Is
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it a good idea? Well, one thing it's gonna do.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: It's going to bring families together because when the Oscars
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: are on YouTube, you're going to get those frantic calls.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have to go to your mother's house. You're
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: gonna have to go to your grandmother's house and show
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: them how the hell to find YouTube. You know what,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you might as well plan on watching the oscars with them,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: because no matter how much you show them, you're going
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to get that call right before the oscars, I can't
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: find it, Well I lost it? How do you find it?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna have to show them what the hell
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: YouTube is. But it's a big, big development. So the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Trump's speech last night was not great. It was let
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: me give you the inside story here. This was not
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: his idea. He didn't want to do this. This was
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the staff pushing it, mostly Susie Wiles pushing this. You
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: know a couple of reasons. One when fake news and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the Democrats start coming up with a with a hoax,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: with a mi and they start pounding it into people's
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: heads twenty four to seven. Everywhere you turn, it's all
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you hear affordability crisis. Affordability crisis, affordability crisis. When you
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: hear it day and night, you actually, this is how
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: propaganda works. You actually start to think, oh my god,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: this is an affordability crisis. There isn't We had one
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: two years ago, three years ago under Biden, you had
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: a terrible crisis. Prices were crazy, gas prices, everything was
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: going nuts. Now Trump has brought it down. He's still
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: got a ways to go, but in his first year
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: he brought it down dramatically. Biden had inflation at nine
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: percent one point, the highest in fifty years. When he left,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: his average inflation was five percent. Trump has it down
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: right now to two point seven percent and falling. So
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: that was one reason for the speech, to try to
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: fight back on this myth that has been created. And
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: then you got a lot of great stuff that's going
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to happen in the economy. The big beautiful bill has
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: big tax cuts for every so your paycheck will be
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: bigger every week because you'll be paying less tax. Now
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: it hasn't kicked in yet, it starts in January, so
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: everybody's going to get a huge race starting in January.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So he's talking about how much you got done this
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: year and what's going to happen next year. But it
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: wasn't a great speech. It was a teleprompter speech. Trump
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: is great with an audience, you know, he knows how
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: to perform for an audience, but reading a teleprompter is
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: not what he should be doing. And in an empty room,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: he's just in a big empty room. And it's that
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: room where you know, they've been doing Christmas parties every
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: night at the White House, sometimes two a night, sometimes three,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and they have so many people to invite, like twenty
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: five thousand people to these White House Christmas parties, so
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you have to do them every night for three weeks.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: In fact, there's another one tonight. They just keep doing
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: these Christmas parties, and it's the same procedure every night.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: The guests all come whatever amount they can do a night,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: five hundred, and they all walk around the Red room,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the Blue room, the Green room, the Yellow room, this
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: room to that room, the map room, the Treaty room,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and then they wander around and at some point they
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: come and assemble in this one spot where there's a podium.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: The President comes down and makes a Christmas Party speech.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And he's made this speech every night for three weeks,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the same speech, so you know, if you do it
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: too much, it gets stale. And it had that kind
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: of look last night. So basically the same situation, but
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: without an audience, just alone reading a teleprompter. So he
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: read it too loud, and he read it too fast,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and he kept talking like this, and it was too
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: fast and it was too loud. He was rushing through
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: it like this. I think that's because he didn't want
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to do it. He was complaining off camera just before
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: he went on that Susie Wilds and everybody else pushed
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: him into doing this, so it's not what he wanted. Now,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the good news is because it was a well written speech.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: A lot of people will just see it in print.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: They'll read about it, and they'll see it in print.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: In print, it looks great. But his delivery was like this,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and it was rushed and he was yelling, I'm just
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: trying to get through it. So it was a bit
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: of a dud. Here's someone the tariffs.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: My favorite word, tariffs, which for many decades have been
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: used successfully by other countries against US, but not anymore.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Companies know that if they build in America, there are
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: no tariffs, and that's why they're coming home to the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: USA in record numbers.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: It's a little too loud. You know, when you're alone
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: in a room, you don't talk like this. Hear how
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I'm talking. I'm yelling a little. If I'm on TV,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I can talk like this because on TV people are
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: usually about twelve feet away from the TV set. They're
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: over there on the couch. You can talk to them
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: like this. But when you're on the radio, you're usually
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: talking out of the speaker, which is like a foot away,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: so you can't yell at them. You got to talk
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: like this. So if there's an audience, you can talk
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: like this to them. But if you're in an empty
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: room and you're just alone, you can you can talk
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: more intimately to people. So and he knows this kind
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: of stuff. I don't know why he didn't do that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I guess because his heart wasn't in this speech. He
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: didn't want to do it. You know, when they do,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: there reporters in the room and start asking questions. He
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: doesn't talk like this to them. You know, he talks
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: in a real voice. So it was too much yelling.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Now he's going to get criticism for blaming everything on Biden.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: This is what the Biden administration allowed to happen to
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: our country, and it can never be allowed to happen again.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: We had men playing in women's.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Sports, transgender for everybody, crime at record levels.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Now everybody can So why does he keep playing Biden?
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Why does he have to keep enough with Biden? Biden's
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: not president anymore. Why does he have to keep because again, Democrats, media,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: fake news, you're creating this whole fake scenario that he's
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: got an affordability crisis. It was an enormous affordability crisis
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: under Biden, and under him it's been dropping steadily and quickly.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: You know, it got a ways to go, but it's
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: been dropped like crazy. So that's why he keeps having
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: a remind everybody, because he's trying to contradict a lie
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: that's been out there day and night for months that
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: somehow he's created an affordability cress. It has nothing to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: do with it. In fact, he's been lessening it every month.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: So now here's the other. This is going to be
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: another Trump problem, but maybe it won't be. I don't know.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: This is so outrageous that it might be too much
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: even for fake news. You know, when Rob Reiner died,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: he put out that tweet which I went back and
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: read it. It's not as bad as they're making it
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: out to be. The tweet starts off very nice, talking
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: about Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner and what a terrible
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: tragedy this is and how awful, and he talks about that,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and then if you'll go to the very end, he said,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: may they both rest in peace. So that's very nice.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: It's in the middle where he says, you know, Rob
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Reiner was a guy filled with rage and hate speech,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: which is true. He was. He was, go check my twitter.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: We have documented all of this, the stuff Rob Briiner
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: was saying putting up online. It was just the ugliest, vile,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: crude hate speech against Donald Trump, raging. You know, And
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: again I knew Rob Briner when you were with him.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: He was the warmest, sweetest, nicest guy. So when you
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: read his tweeting and his things he was saying about Trump,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: you can't believe this same guy could get so ugly
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and vile and crude and cursing, and it's just very
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Jeckyll in Heights. It makes you wonder. So that upset
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of people. And of course, you know, people said, well,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't do that. You're the president. You have to
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: stay you know, graceful and dignified. And yeah, of course, okay,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: so now they have. When you walk to the Oval Office,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: you walk along the colonnade there along that wall where
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: he's put up all the portraits of the presidents, used
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: to be just an empty white wall. And when you
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: think about, he's right, that's where you greet the world
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: leaders in one part of the White House. Then you
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: go out side and you walk down this a long
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: colonnade to get to the Oval Office, and it's just empty. Wolves.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: You see, he just said, let's line this with pictures
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: of all our presidents and beautiful gold frames. It was
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: very very nice, great idea. And now when it came
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to Biden, he put instead of Biden's face, he put
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: an auto pen in there. All right, it's a little joke.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't do that, but you can get away with it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: All right, it's not you know, it's not that bad.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: But now he unveiled this yesterday, and again they're all
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: gonna go nuts over this. They're all gonna go crazy.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Although it hasn't exploded like I think it would. He
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: now put it, unveiled it yesterday. Under many of these
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: presidents he put plaques underneath saying things, and they're very
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: very insulting. So under Biden, and it's a beautiful, you know, gold,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: very very ornate plaque like you'd see on a building
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: with the inscription on it. But the one er Biden says,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: sleepy Joe Biden was by far the worst president in America.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: And it goes on and on to talk about what
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: a crook he is, how he opened the borders let
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: twenty one million people in his Afghanistan disaster. I mean,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: it's the worst stuff about Biden. It's a long but
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I'm skipping through the nickname both sleepy and crooked Joe
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden was dominated by his radical left handler. It
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: goes on and on, and you could write this, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: you're not supposed to put it on the wall of
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the White House in a gold plaque. So now, of
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: course any other president when they come in will take
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: this down. Under Bill Clinton, it's not as bad yet. No,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: it's mostly good about he approved NAFTA. It's mostly good
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: about Clinton. But at the end it said President Clinton's
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: wife Hillary lost the presidency to Donald Trump. Now the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: one for Obama, the Reagan one is just high praise
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: for Reagan, wonderful praise for Reagan. The one under Obama
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: was the first black president, a community organizer, a one
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: term senator from Illinois. Okay, you can get away with that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: He created the ineffective Unaffordable Care Act. Well, that's true,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: but you're not supposed to put that on the wall.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: His party losing both Houses of Congress. Under Obama, it
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: gets worse and worse. He crippled small business with crushing
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: regulations and an environmental red tape. Well, this is actually true.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: You could make this case. He spied on the twenty
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: sixteen presidential campaign of Donald Trump. It's all. You could
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: go into court and prove this stuff true if you
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: had to, but you're not supposed to put it on
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: the wall of the White House. But again, it hasn't
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: exploded yet all over the news. But we'll see, we'll
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: see if they demand he'd take it down. Maybe it's
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: so over the top outrageous that they're afraid to go
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: after for it. They know it's some kind of trap.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I mean it's I mean, Howard Stern wouldn't have the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: nerve to put this stuff on the wall. So hey,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the very bad news. Cardinal Dolan is leaving Cardinal Timothy Dolan,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: who everybody loved sixteen years here as the cardinal. It's
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: nothing personal. The rule of the church is at seventy
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: five you have to resign. You have to resign at
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: seventy five. It's mandatory, and you put in your resignation. Now.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: For Cardinal Dolan, that was last year. But sometimes they'll
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: delay accepting the resignation. And remember last year the pope died,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: so that put a holt on everything. Nothing happened, and
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: then a new pope took over, and he obviously needs
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: many months to get settled and organized. So he's done that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Now he's decided to accept the resignation and pick a
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: new cardinal for New York. And it's Ronald Hicks, who's
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: from Chicago, has a lot of connection to the pope
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: who's also from Chicago. Their careers overlapped a few times. Hicks,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: He's not, you know, Dolan is a big, larger than life,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: big life of the party personality. Hicks is more of
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: a quiet, gentle sort of a guy. But he's a
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: warm guy. He's got a good sense of humor. Here
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: he is accepting I want to do the will of God.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: I asked him to tell the Holy Father that I
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: say yes with great humility and that I accept this
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: appointment with an open heart.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: So he's here in New York today with the cardinal
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: being shown around.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: And my name is Ron Hicks, and I have now.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: First of all, he's got to call himself Ronald, this
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Ron Hicks. It doesn't sound like a cardinal. When your
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: name is Ron Hicks. Sounds like you work at the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: William Morris Agency. Sounds like you're a car sales But
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: here's my card Ron Hicks doesn't sound like a Cardinalnald
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Hicks will sound better, make more sense.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: It did New York about ten times in my life,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: and every time I have visited, I have said to myself,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: I love it. I love the culture, the food, the energy,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: the plays, the neighborhoods, but especially I love the people.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, sounding like a bit of a tourist, but listen,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: that's all the Cardinals. You remember Dolan, you think of
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: them as such a New Yorker. I remember when he
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: came here sixteen years ago from I think it was
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis. You have Saint Louis. He was the same thing.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: He was new to New York, he didn't know his
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: way around, and of course he became a big, big,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: big part of New York. So Ronald Hicks, Wilton, the people.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: From all over the world who call this place home.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: And every time that I visited, I've always said I
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: look forward to returning. And this time I'm returning not
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: only as a visitor, but I'm going to be returning
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: to stay.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: So all right, now, he'll be good. He'll be good.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: One of the reasons Dolan stayed a little longer than
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: is supposed to Catholic Church with the you know, the
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: sexual abuse and scandal and all that. They had to
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: clean that up. There was nothing to do with Dolan,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: wasn't his fault, but you had to clean it up.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: He's the one that worked out it like a billion
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: dollar settlement, and they had to settle all these lawsuits
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and raise the money to settle it. And that's what
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: he's been doing for the last year. It's mostly done. Now,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: he'll notice very quietly, the Catholic Church here in New
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: York has been selling a lot of it's very valuable
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: real estate. Just this week they finally sold over there
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: at the Palace Hotel. They the whole ground lease. They
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: just sold that for about four hundred and ninety million dollars.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: So they've raised all the money that's been settled. And
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Ronald Hicks, he made that joke. Every new cardinal makes
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the same joke. I already made that joke this morning.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Nice speech, and he says, but I do have something
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: very controversial to say. I'm still a Cubs fan. So
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Dolan did that when he came here to I'm still
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: a Cardinals fan. But now the only if there's a
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: bad side to the Hicks can be a little left
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: wing a little woke, but all right, that can be cured.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: But we wish him very well, and we got a
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: lot to get to today. We'll take some calls. Next.
• 17:28

  Speaker 6: Second, the about Trump, I think what he's doing he's
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: wait wait, oh wait, can I talk. I think he's hand.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Think you're gonna you're gonna start whining. Why does he
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: have to do?
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: But I am whining. I think he's Everything he's doing
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: that's good is going to be turned turned be undone
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: by the Democrats. I think he's handing the election to them.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean he's not running for election. He's not what,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: he's not running for anything.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: No, I know he's not. But they're going to vote
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: against his policies.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: The Demo. We don't know that because that's a year away.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: It's a year from now, so the landscape will change many,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: many times.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Well, do I know things are more expensive. I know
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: it's not his fault.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: But you live in Manhattan. Gases now two dollars a gallon,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: but if you're in New York it's still four or
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: five dollars.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: I know it's under three in some parts of Long Round.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: I know, but but food is expensive.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: And again that's New York City.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: Mark talk have a vertiplication.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I love the guy, but he's always why does he
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: have to Let's go to Mike in Ulster County. Mike,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: how you.
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: Doing, Hey, Mark, Merry Christmas? First ball.
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: I did watch the speech last night. He did. The
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: President did look uncomfortable because it's not his venue. But
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: it's a speech that had to be made because the
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: media and the Democrats are playing on the fact that
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: for the most part, the American people are very impatient.
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: They want instant gratification.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: And well, don't blame them now. As I said earlier,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: they've been had this fake narrative drilled into their head
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: that we are suddenly in an affordability crisis when the
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: economy has actually greatly improved un last year. So he
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: needed to make the speech. It was a bad setting.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: This was all designed by Susie Wiles and the staff.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: And she's great, but she, you know, as far as
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: media skill, she's still in nineteen eighty three with Ronald Reagan,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: where you get a podium and you read the teleprompter.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work anymore.
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: And Trump, Uh, I think you'll see it was a
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: dud the speech last night. It looks good on paper,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: It was well written, but the delivery wasn't great. So
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: he'll never allow that to happen again. Next time, he'll
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: get some modern day communications people to come up with
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: a better setting and a better way to do that.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Don in New York City.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: Don.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: How you doing?
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: Yes? Mark, listen, Mark, are you familiar with the song
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: Till after the holidays?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Tell what?
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: Till after the holidays?
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Till after the holidays? Am I familiar with it?
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Not?
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Really? Was this like Al Jolson in the twenties? Huh?
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Who said Garlands sang it? I know I don't remember it?
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: What?
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: Oh? Because I heard it recently on the radio.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Uh and who was playing at al Jasbo Collins. I'm kidding.
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: I was on WABC.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, well it must be good then. Well, you know,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: she recorded some beautiful, beautiful New Year's Christmas ballads. That's
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: probably one of them from the late fifties.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: Very sad. It's something like whatever Happened to Christmas?
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I'll check it out. You know, that's
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: one thing she was good. She would do these touching,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: sad ballads. She was brilliant at it, being a great actress.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: She was one of the great singers of the late
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: fifties and early sixties. In fact, to listen to her
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: live album at Carnegie Hall, one of the greatest albums ever.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Joe in the Bronx. Joe, how you doing?
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: I'm doing better than I deserve.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: And I hope you I'd agree with that. You don't
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: deserve to do this?
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: Well, knowing you no, because it's good this way, I'm
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: not bitter.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Well that's good.
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: So anyway, I was thinking about a way to help
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: on for the mid terms. Yes, and I came up
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: with something good. In one of my plays, character says.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: You know, yeah, it sounds good.
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: What's a bad America?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Well, that's good.
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: They don't need the wooden Horse because they have the
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: Democratic Party.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: That's great. How'd you come up with that's pretty amazingly. Oh, phenomenal. No, no,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: it's excellent. Yeah, no, anyway, thanks for coming up with that. Anyway, Hey,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: I forgot to mention one great thing in that speech
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: last night. You know, the tariffs. Some people love them,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: some people don't. But the tariffs have brought in zillions
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: of dollars. Money is just flowing in from the tariffs.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: So one thing he announced was every he called them warriors,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: every military man and woman will get a thousand dollars
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: bonus this year, and he said they'll deliver it before Christmas.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: So all of our great military soldiers one thousand dollars
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: bonus from the tariffs. Hey, when we come back, we're
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: going to talk to one of the greatest economists in
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: the world. We've got a real expert to talk about
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the economy, affordability, inflation, the speech last night, it's all
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: of that. Next on seven to ten wo R with
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Steve Moore.
• 23:03
  Speaker 11: We hope it's more Mark Mark Simone on seven ten
• 23:08
  Speaker 11: wor Well, Steve Moore a great economist, one of the finest.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: In the world. You should get his latest book That
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Can You Need a good Christmas Present for somebody? Excellent.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Get his book The Trump Economic Miracle. Excellent book. Also,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the best daily briefing comes from his group, the Committee
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: to Unleash Prosperity. It's free and have it come right
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: to your email everyday. Best news analysis. Just go to
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Unleash Prosperity dot com and sign up. Unleash Prosperity dot com.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Steve Moore, how you doing.
• 23:40
  Speaker 12: Good Mary Christmas? And boy, we got a nice Christmas
• 23:43
  Speaker 12: present this morning with that low inflation number waves below expectations,
• 23:48
  Speaker 12: and we're now down to about two point six percent
• 23:50
  Speaker 12: inflation under Trump, which is, you know, half of what
• 23:53
  Speaker 12: it was under Biden five percent, So you know enough
• 23:56
  Speaker 12: about this affordability crisis. Prices of inflation has come down
• 24:01
  Speaker 12: a lot in just the last six months.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but it's an upsetting number if you're a Democrat.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: They were looking for three, weren't they not two points?
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: Yeah, exactly, that's a big, big error. And incidentally, you know,
• 24:14
  Speaker 12: the most recent numbers, you know, for the last couple
• 24:17
  Speaker 12: of months were really low. That means that, you know,
• 24:19
  Speaker 12: we're looking at an inflation rate that will stay low
• 24:23
  Speaker 12: now for the months to come. I'm extremely bullish on
• 24:26
  Speaker 12: twenty twenty six. I think we're going to see I
• 24:29
  Speaker 12: liked what Trump had to say last night that the
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: best has yet to come. He's exactly right about that.
• 24:34
  Speaker 12: So feeling good about things. And you know, I can
• 24:37
  Speaker 12: even now go out nice and Christmas presents and with
• 24:39
  Speaker 12: what six days the shop left?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, but it's a great technique they've come up
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: with the left and the Democrats, the media combined. You
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: just drilled something into people's heads and thousand times a day,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: affordability crisis exactly, and they start to believe it.
• 24:53
  Speaker 12: So why didn't they use that? Why didn't they use
• 24:56
  Speaker 12: that term when Baden was president and inflation went up
• 24:58
  Speaker 12: to nine percent?
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Me guess he was a Democrat.
• 25:05
  Speaker 12: It's unbelievable because you know, we've seen we're not bringing
• 25:09
  Speaker 12: inflation down as quickly as I'd like, but we're seeing
• 25:13
  Speaker 12: big improvement. And what about gas prices?
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 25:15
  Speaker 12: Look, I know you're there in the New York area
• 25:17
  Speaker 12: where you still pay what three four dollars a gallon,
• 25:19
  Speaker 12: but in most places, the price of gas is now
• 25:22
  Speaker 12: down to about two seventy nine a gallon, which is
• 25:25
  Speaker 12: really you know, remember it hit five dollars. Remember that Biden.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Oil is fifty five dollars.
• 25:32
  Speaker 12: Now amazing, Yeah it was. It was eighty dollars when
• 25:36
  Speaker 12: he came into office. Now it's fifty five. So that's
• 25:39
  Speaker 12: what about a thirty percent reduction in the price of oil.
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: And by the way, when the energy price goes down
• 25:46
  Speaker 12: like that, mark everything. It's sort of the lead indicator
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: where prices are headed because energy is a component of
• 25:53
  Speaker 12: everything way by, from toys to food to you know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 12: rent and housing. So look, it's a good economy. Trump
• 26:00
  Speaker 12: was right about that last night. Now, I know people
• 26:03
  Speaker 12: are hurting. I know people get angry when you say
• 26:05
  Speaker 12: that because they want to value ground bee for a sake,
• 26:07
  Speaker 12: and they get angry because it's really expensive. And my
• 26:10
  Speaker 12: wife is among those people who complains every time she
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: comes back to the grocery store. But no, we're cooking.
• 26:16
  Speaker 12: We got a good, decent jobs report, we got a
• 26:19
  Speaker 12: really good inflation report, and so it's going to be
• 26:22
  Speaker 12: a good Christmas Christmas Day for people. And twenty twenty six, Wow,
• 26:28
  Speaker 12: I just wait, the messes yet to come.
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: You know, the price of beef went up because the
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Biden administration did everything they could to reduce the amount
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: of cattle we had. Remember they thought cows caused.
• 26:39
  Speaker 12: Yeah, we have a record number of cows. You know,
• 26:41
  Speaker 12: if you reduce the number of cows, what do you
• 26:42
  Speaker 12: think is going to happen to the beef prices? Simple economics, right,
• 26:49
  Speaker 12: you know.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: The President rattled off all these things, inflation way down,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: wages up for construction, all these different things. But if
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: you watch like the NBC Nightly News, the way they
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: phrased it is the President claimed to the reduced inflation
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the present claim to How did they get away with
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: that kind of language.
• 27:05
  Speaker 12: Well, one mistake Trump made, and a lot of us
• 27:09
  Speaker 12: make this mistake. Trump said, oh, I'm going to bring
• 27:12
  Speaker 12: prices down now, you know we in fact, you don't
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: want disinflation. Disinflation is even worse than inflation, and I
• 27:19
  Speaker 12: mean we had disinflation throughout the Great Depression in nineteen thirties.
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: What we want is price stability, and we want to
• 27:24
  Speaker 12: bring that inflation right down to the that target of
• 27:27
  Speaker 12: two percent, and.
• 27:29
  Speaker 13: We're well on the way.
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: But that means that you know, prices will still rise,
• 27:33
  Speaker 12: but at a much lower rate than they did Underbiden. So,
• 27:37
  Speaker 12: you know, I saw this poll the other day. This
• 27:39
  Speaker 12: is a perfect example of how the media is the
• 27:40
  Speaker 12: source thing. They said eighty six percent of American people
• 27:44
  Speaker 12: say prices are everything's more expensive than ever. Well, that's true.
• 27:48
  Speaker 12: I mean prices are more expensive today than they were
• 27:52
  Speaker 12: fifty years ago, you know, and everything gets more expensive
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: over time. The point is that right now, the most
• 28:00
  Speaker 12: important measurement is our price is rising faster than people's
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: wages and salaries. And the answer to that is no.
• 28:07
  Speaker 12: Right now, wages and salaries are rising faster than inflation,
• 28:11
  Speaker 12: which means we have more after tax after inflation income,
• 28:15
  Speaker 12: which means we have more affordability. Now, look, I understand
• 28:18
  Speaker 12: housing is really expensive for young people. I understand Bee physics, somonthsom.
• 28:22
  Speaker 12: Healthcare is out of control. And that's a mystery because gee,
• 28:25
  Speaker 12: I thought we passed the Affordable Care Act. How could
• 28:28
  Speaker 12: help care prices be out of control?
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Now, Steve Moore, you're the expert economist. In one year,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: President Trump cut inflation in half, took it from five percent? Yes,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: is there anything? Is there any way you could have
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: done more than that? I mean, you don't. You can't
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: bring it down any faster than that, can you.
• 28:45
  Speaker 12: We could have, I mean we could have. I mean, look,
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: there's no question that the terroriffts did cause some inflation.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 28:51
  Speaker 12: And you know we saw a perfect example of that
• 28:53
  Speaker 12: is coffee prices rose a lot because we've put a
• 28:55
  Speaker 12: big tariff on you know, coffee beans coming in from
• 29:00
  Speaker 12: from Colombia and Brazil and so on. But it's been
• 29:05
  Speaker 12: a good it's been a good year for the US economy.
• 29:08
  Speaker 12: How about the fact that the economy has been growing
• 29:10
  Speaker 12: at three and a half to four percent for the
• 29:11
  Speaker 12: last nine months.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Now, yeah, Now, the Big Beautiful Bill.
• 29:14
  Speaker 12: That's a high growth number.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. The Big Beautiful Bill doesn't kick in for
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: taxpayers until January. And I'm told they'll get a reduction
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: in their taxes more in the Patriot. Yes, yeah, I'm
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: told the amount is going to shock people how much
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: of an increase they'll get.
• 29:29
  Speaker 12: That's exactly right. So the people come up to me
• 29:32
  Speaker 12: on the street and say, hey, well, you know you
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: were helped to pass that big beautiful bill. Where's my
• 29:36
  Speaker 12: tax And I said, just wait, it's coming in January.
• 29:39
  Speaker 12: You know, the no tax on tips, the no tax
• 29:41
  Speaker 12: on overtime that you know, people will change the withholding.
• 29:44
  Speaker 12: So most Americans will get a boost in their paychecks
• 29:49
  Speaker 12: starting in January. And that's going to be equivalent of
• 29:51
  Speaker 12: about two thousand dollars for the average family. That ain't
• 29:54
  Speaker 12: that ain't nothing.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: No. Now, the only mine land mine out there that
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: could go off is this Affordable Care Act. Healthcare costs.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: What are we going to do about that?
• 30:06
  Speaker 12: Well, with one good way to start is to make
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: sure that we don't pass more Obamacare subsidies, which keep
• 30:15
  Speaker 12: feeding the beast of the healthcare system. By the way,
• 30:18
  Speaker 12: most of that money if we pass the increase in
• 30:20
  Speaker 12: all those subsidies, you know who gets about sixty cents
• 30:23
  Speaker 12: of every dollar of the increased subsidies health insurance companies.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: So but we have to extend. We have to give
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: an extension till we figure out a plan. I mean, right,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: we're going.
• 30:37
  Speaker 12: To look, it's a disaster. The healthcare system is a disaster.
• 30:40
  Speaker 12: They've ruined it, they've ruined it Mark and you know,
• 30:44
  Speaker 12: it's it's unbelievable because it's the one thing we never
• 30:47
  Speaker 12: have how much it's going to cost? Right, we never
• 30:49
  Speaker 12: ask when you know when you go to the doctor
• 30:51
  Speaker 12: or the physician or the hospital and they say you
• 30:54
  Speaker 12: need an MRI, do you do you ask see how
• 30:56
  Speaker 12: much that's going to cost?
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, nobody does.
• 31:00
  Speaker 12: That's like you know, going to the grocery store and saying, oh,
• 31:03
  Speaker 12: I'll take that and that and that and not looking
• 31:05
  Speaker 12: at the price tag. So we got to get the
• 31:06
  Speaker 12: consumer back in the market here, so everybody becomes and
• 31:10
  Speaker 12: that way, you know, uh, you need insurance for your
• 31:14
  Speaker 12: you know those rare really expensive things like if you
• 31:17
  Speaker 12: get cancered out forbid, or break your leg or you have,
• 31:20
  Speaker 12: you know, a chronic disease, you want to be covered.
• 31:22
  Speaker 12: But you know we've got to put the patient back
• 31:24
  Speaker 12: an equation and why not.
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: How about this?
• 31:26
  Speaker 12: This is an idea Trump is paid for. If you
• 31:29
  Speaker 12: were to pay for some of these medical procedures, but
• 31:31
  Speaker 12: with cash, you would pay twenty five to thirty percent
• 31:34
  Speaker 12: less less. There are some places, by the way, an
• 31:37
  Speaker 12: MRI literally in Washington, c one hospital charge with eight
• 31:41
  Speaker 12: hundred dollars.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: For an MRI.
• 31:42
  Speaker 12: The other one costs you five charge you five thousand dollars.
• 31:45
  Speaker 12: What yeah, I mean, it's the pricing is unbelievable. We
• 31:49
  Speaker 12: need price transparency. That's something Trump's been really good at.
• 31:51
  Speaker 12: So anyway, I am I'm very optimistic.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: Are we going to be on next.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Week at all? Yeah?
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: Oh well, I have a merry, merry Christmas.
• 32:03
  Speaker 12: I have a happy, happy New Year, and we I'm
• 32:05

  Speaker 2: a week from today. Unbelievable. It's almost time for New
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Year's resolutions. It's almost time for look back of best
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five? Can you believe it? The year
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: just flown by. So Nick Reiner was in court with
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: no tell that was he had on. It's they call
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: it a suicide vest. It's a weird blue thing covering up.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: He had shackles on, and obviously a very very dangerous,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: troubled guy. He's being held in isolation. He's on suicide watch.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: They brought him into court basically only said one thing.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: He only spoke once when the judge said they agreed
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: to delay until January the arraignment and all that stuff,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: and then she said, are you okay giving up your
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: right to swift and he said, yes, you're on it.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: It's the only thing he said in court that day.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: This attorney has Jackson is one of the top top
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: top Los Angeles criminal attorneys. Handled a lot of big,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: big cases. It's say, if you want to hire this
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: guy on a murder charge and get defended by him,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: it's about a million bucks. So I would assume the
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: family is paying for it. Here's the attorney.
• 35:25
  Speaker 14: Afterwards, You're set for January seventh, foreign arraignments.
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: That's the next court date.
• 35:30
  Speaker 14: And that's all I have to say at this point.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Well, so the kid will be locked up until then, dangerous,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: dangerous kid.
• 35:38
  Speaker 14: We asked that during this process you allow the system
• 35:42
  Speaker 14: to move forward in the way that it was designed
• 35:44
  Speaker 14: to move forward, not with a rush to judgment, not
• 35:47
  Speaker 14: with jumping to conclusions, but with restraint and with dignity
• 35:51
  Speaker 14: and with the respect that this system and this process deserves,
• 35:56
  Speaker 14: and that the family deserves.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Very well said, but be honest, I'm gonna rush the
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: judgment on this one. I am going to definitely jump
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: the conclusions with this deranged psycho kid. I will rush
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: the judgment on this one. But that's what you do
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: for a million dollars. You sound good and you make
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: these speeches, but I really don't know how they I mean,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: you know what, I would assume in the end, they're
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: gonna have DNA evidence that will absolutely convict this kid
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: through a hard DNA evidence. Although it is Los Angeles
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: where they have screwed up more cases. You remember, the
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: OJ case was lost because they didn't properly secure the evidence.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Remember they had the blood all over him, do you remember,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: oj He had blood on his golf hand glove, He
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: had blood on his socks, He had blood in his bedroom,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: he had blood in his washing machine. The blood was
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: every place, but they collected it and then they didn't remember.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: They didn't secure the evidence properly. Remember that detective was
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: his name, Van Adder. How's that for a memory? Had
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: to admit under oath that he put it the test
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: tube with the blood. He the edit in his sport
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: coat pocket for a week before he vouch it or
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: something like that. They just screwed it up. So anything
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: can happen in Los Angeles. Now, in the Brown University shooting,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: it turns out this Brown University has got one really bumbling,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: stupid president. Her name is I forget what her name is,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: But in fact there's talk now of hauling her in
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: front of Congress and making you testify about how badly
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: run Brown University was. You know, I kept pointing out
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: the security director. I don't like his resume. He's got
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: twenty thirty years of school safety. But you know, somewhere
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: else he was a director of security at a school
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: somewhere else. He was a patrolman, but on a school
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: a security force. You know, you'd like to get a
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: guy from real law enforcement, a real ex I would
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: hire an next NYPD captain or something like that, or
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: somebody with some real law enforcement experience, because if you
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: look at Brown University, they have no clue as to
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: what happened here. They can't give you a video of
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the guy. All they got that video you see is
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: somebody's ring doorbell thing from three blocks away. What the
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: hell kind of campus does not have surveillance cameras everywhere?
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: The restaurants have them everywhere. We have, look at we
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: got them all over the hallway. Look around here, go
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: down the hall, turn the corner. That's like you got
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: to pass twelve security cameras. How does the university with
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: a bunch of crazy kids, how do they not have
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: surveillance cameras? They just don't. This Brown president and Brown University,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: her name, I forget her name, and then she's blaming
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: the gun violence, gun violence, gun we have. The gun
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: didn't cause the problem. The shooter did. And you don't
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: have surveillance cameras, so we can't get a picture of
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: the guy.
• 38:44
  Speaker 15: The shooter is responsible horrific gun violence, took the lives
• 38:49
  Speaker 15: of these students and hospitalized others. And it's deeply sad
• 38:53
  Speaker 15: and tragic that schools across the country are targets of violence.
• 38:57
  Speaker 15: Brown is no exception.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: She's gonna get hauled in front of Congress, and I
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: have testified on her oarth. She's get three million a year,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: three million a year and doesn't have a proper head
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: of security, does not have surveillance cameras, all the necessary equipment.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Her background, well, she's an economist. Well there you go.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: An economist, not the good kind, not the Steve more kind.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: This is like the academic economists. You know, they're just
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: sitting in a university somewhere and never make contact with
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: the real world. Oh, actually she did. Look she was
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: at Princeton. An economist at Princeton. Okay. New York Times
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: is this New York Times is the most incoonfident, bumbling
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: partisan disturbing details from the New York Times stunning Trump investigation,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Trump Epstein investigation. This is The New York Times published
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: its most comprehensive investigation yet into President Trump's relationship with
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein. Now there's not much of a relation. They
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: knew each other for a couple of years when he
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: was a first a zillionaire and he came to Pond
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Beach and was throwing money around. He joined mar A Lago.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: And whenever you run a resort, a hotel, a club,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: if a new guy in town's got zillions of dollars
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: and he's spending like crazy at Coortia, and he becomes
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: a memory of club, of coursing over, you say hello,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: You go to his parties and invite him to stuff.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Perfectly normal happens all the time. Times they had to
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: admit in the little fine print, all the Times found
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: no evidence implicating Trump in Epstein's sucks trafficking crimes. But
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: but they did so. Their investigation reveals a social and
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: personal relationship far beyond what has been acknowledged. Now, what
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: are they based that, Well, they based this on They
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: were going through Epstein's stuff, and he had a copy
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: of Trump's book, The Art of the Comeback, very good book,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: by the way, one of his best. It's out of print,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: but it's a great book. But in the book, which
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: was nineteen ninety seven, that's how long ago Trump knew Epstein.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: He broke up with him right away. He found the
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: guy was creepy and got rid of him. But in
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven he gave Trump a book and he
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: inscribed the book. He autographed it to him. And this
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: is what the New York Times is basing this on,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: that he was much closer than we think, because he
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: wrote in the book. Guess what he wrote to Jeff,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: you are the greatest. Donald ha ha. They got him,
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: you are the great Well, I hate to break it
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: to you. I got a copy of the Art of
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: the Comeback from nineteen ninety seven, and guess what he
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: wrote in my book, the same thing, you are the greatest.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: I hate to break it to you, New York Times.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: I could show you twenty letters I have from him
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: through the years where that's what he writes at the end.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: I got a million notes from him that he always writes,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: you are great or you are the greatest. It's just
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: standard for him. It doesn't mean anything. It shows you
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: absolutely nothing about their relationship. You go back to the nineties,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: where you know, I'd m see a dinner forum or
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: and he'd send you a note you were a great MC,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: thank you so much and then underneath it would be tight,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: but underneath you would write with the big sharpie, you
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: are the greatest Donald. It's just standard. He does that
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: for everybody. So of course the New York Times never
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: really investigates, or they would have checked that out and
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: gotten to the bottom of that and realized they had
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: nothing there. You remember the kiss cam at the Patriots Stadium,
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: the kiss cam scandal. It was Coldplay the concert and
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: the big CEO is out with an employee. They've gone
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: to a concert, and that kiss cam just you know
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: how many people in that stadium, fifty thousand, It just
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: zooms around and picks out somebody. What are the odds
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: that it would land on these two who are having
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: an affair, cheating, not supposed to be out there and
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: are holding each other arm in arm and she had
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: to resign. I guess he had to resign. Well, she's
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: finally speaking out for the first time ever. She's finally
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: speaking out, and she spoke out and gave an interview.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: I'm reading the interview. I don't really know what how
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: she's saying. It's kind of vague. She said the sixteen
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: second public display of affection with her. Then boss left
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: her She says it left me as a meme and unemployable.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: She had not been able to get another job. She says,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: what does this mean? I made a bad decision. I
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: had a couple of high noons and danced and acted
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: inappropriately with my boss while admitting he was her big
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: happy crush. What does that mean I made a bad
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: decision and had a couple of high noons. Does that
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: mean she was like Gary Cooper getting in a gunfight
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: or what does it mean? Does it mean high noons?
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Does that mean in the middle of the day they
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: went to a like a motel or something. I don't know.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: I guess that's what supposed to mean, and it's not nothing.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: I took accountability. I gave up my career for that.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: That's the price I chose to pay. I don't think
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: she chose that. I think that's how it ended up.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: But coming forward, I don't know why. I guess is
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: she going to have a book deal? Does she want
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: to get on the view? She says, I'm not a celebrity.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: I'm just a mom from New Hampshire. Even if I
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: did have an affair, it's not anybody's business. It has
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: been like a scarlet letter. People erased anything and everything
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: I've accomplished in my life and achieved in my career.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: This can't be the final word. Okay, I guess what
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: it is. She hasn't been able to get a job,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: So this is she's going to And she's not wrong.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: You know, everything else fails. Go public, get a lot
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: of attentions. You can get a job out of it,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: she said. Instead, I became a meme and unemployable. I
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: was the most recognized. Oh no, I was the most
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: maligned HR manager in HR history. Yeah. Actually, if you're
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: the HR manager, aren't you supposed to be watching for
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: this kind of thing and stopping it, not doing it yourself. Yeah, Hey,
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Mam donnie. Two weeks from today is that New Year's Day? Yeah?
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Two weeks from today takes office, the last two weeks
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: of Eric Adams. Two weeks from today, Mam Donnie is
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: sworn in. Now. The biggest thing everybody's worried about, obviously,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: is crime number two would be these homeless camps all
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: over the place. Uh, here's some good news, some good news.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: The US Attorney Southern District, that's the most powerful US
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Attorney's office. The current US attorney's a guy named Jay Clayton.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: He's great, really great Jay Clayton. He has quite a career.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: You know, he was the SEC chairman in Trump's first term.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump likes him a lot, talks to him constantly.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: And Jay Clayton as the US attorney. You know, in
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: the Southern district, they're usually going after some big fraud case,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: or they're going after some big corporation, some big drug
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: trafficky whatever, big big stuff. But Clayton has said he
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: and his office, and this is good news with mom
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: Donney company said he in his office will focus on
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: street crime. And they can do this. They can do this.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: They can do a great job. And these federal guys
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: are even better. Sometimes they'll go after drugs, they'll go
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: after guns, they'll go after violence, they'll go after all
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: kinds of crime. Reason I say they're better. NYPD is great.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: But problem with the NYPD. They'll do a great job,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: but then it goes into a New York City court,
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: a New York City judge and New York City jury,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: and you know, he goes to Alvin Bragg Local DA
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: and all these people do is let the criminals back
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: out in the street. Now, in the case of Clayton,
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: it's federal. It goes to a federal prosecutor, and they
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: don't let everybody go. They'll actually lock them up. And
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: as Clayton said, the one thing we do know is
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: if you keep letting the criminals back out, you're going
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: to have a crime wave. If you'll lock them up
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: and keep them locked up, crime drops dramatically. He says,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: we know from studies repeat violent offenders, continuous custody is
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: the thing that reduces crime the most. Rudy Giuliani did
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: a little of this when he was mayor. They used
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: to have one day a week would be Federal Day
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: where the cops would go out there and have federal
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: officers with them, so the cops would break the case,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: find the criminal, and then hand him over to the
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Feds because they could make sure he got locked up,
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: unlike locals here with the das that we have the
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: crazy ones. So that's very very good news, and apparently
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Trump is on board with this. So if it does
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: start to have if there is starting to be a
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: crime problem, you'll see if the Feds step in on
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: the streets in New York and start arresting criminals and
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: making sure they don't get out. Very good news. Dan
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: Bongino is going to leave as FBI Deputy Director. It's
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: been confirmed. The replacements are a couple of guys. They're
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: just you know, career FBI guys. So, but Bongino has
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: already cleaned out his desk. He will officially stay until
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: January and then he'll leave. President Trump said Dan did
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: a great job. I think he wants to go back
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: to his show. Yeah, I don't blame him. You know,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: the problem is being the deputy director. Basically you're just
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: running day to day operations, which if you're in that business,
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: it's a great job. But if you're you know, I
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: gotta be honest with you, it's much more fun doing this,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: you know, going on TV and being on the radio
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: and doing broadcasting. It's a lot more fun than sitting
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: in an office all day doing FBI business. And for
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of these guys that leave, I don't know
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: how they do it, you know, I mean it's fun,
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: you know, it's great. All you do is have fun
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: all day in broadcasting. So Bongino wants to get back
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: to that. Hey, you know this assisted suicide thing where
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: you can just you want to die and get the
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: medical aid and dying. You know, it's like doctor suicide.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: You can do this in Canada, did it? They legalized
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: it in twenty sixteen. In fact, within five years, doctor
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: assistant suicide became one of the top five causes of
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: death in Canada. So they're pushing this in New York
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: and Kathy Hochel surprised everybody by getting on board with this.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: You want to commit suicide, you want to die, you
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: can go to the doctor and have him suicide. You
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Kavorki in you Now, why would Hochel suddenly get it?
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Why would she want to be Well, the insurance companies
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: are pushing this like crazy. In fact, they've been spending
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of money, spending a ton of money donating
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: to politicians. They want this because it'll save them a fortune. Now,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: who would want to go commit suicide? Well, somebody who's
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: got a terrible illness that's going to require, you know,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: catastrophic medical care. Well, if you don't want to go
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: through that, you'd rather just commit suicide. It's you know,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: for you, you think it's better for the insurance company. It's
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: a hell of a lot better. You know that your insurance.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Medical bills could be ten million bucks by the time
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: you're done twenty years later. So the insurance company would
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: love to have you just go away. So they've been
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: bribing and donating and paying off politicians like crazy. And
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: guess who's suddenly on board Kathy Hokele. Well you do
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: the math. That's why she suddenly is on board with this. Hey,
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: we'll take Jimmy Fayalo will be with us in a
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: few minutes. We'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Give wor a bre said on the iHeartRadio app to
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: hear Mark Simone and all the wr hosts in an instance.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simone show on WOR.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Hey six some calls. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: how you doing? Mhm, Good morning, Mark, Good morning, Mike.
• 51:03
  Speaker 16: I want to wish you a very pleasant vacation.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: That a great vacation, just a pleasant one, a great
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: with you you have a pleasant.
• 51:19
  Speaker 16: You know, the President looked p O last night and
• 51:21
  Speaker 16: I think he feels like he's in person alone, you know,
• 51:24
  Speaker 16: even even supporters, you know, and who are analysts and pundits.
• 51:28
  Speaker 16: You know, they can't come ight out and support him.
• 51:31
  Speaker 16: They always have to dump on him before they say
• 51:33
  Speaker 16: anything positive about him. And I think he's frustrated by that.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Well, no, he's okay. The reason he was a little mad,
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: like he did not want to do that last night,
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: that was the staff pushing that. Susie wils pushed it,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: and right before he went it in front of the camera,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: he said, she's making me do this. The last thing
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: he believes in is a formal speech, reading a teleprompter
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: at a podium, all alone in a room.
• 51:53
  Speaker 16: That's like, I agree, but she's influenced by all these
• 51:56
  Speaker 16: pundits who say he.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Has to talk to very good chief of staff. But
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: she's too old school, old fashioned. This is the kind
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: of thing at president went do in nineteen eighty six.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: It made sense.
• 52:07
  Speaker 16: It's not the age of Reagan anymore.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: You're right, Yeah, it's too old fashioned. You know, thanks
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: for calling Mike the fact that she's so old school,
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: old fashioned. It's a very good thing when it comes
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: to running the office and discipline, but when it comes
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: to media communication. I think he realized last night, don't
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: listen to her on that stuff. Let's go to Vincent
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark, Good morning man, Mark. I'd like to
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: wish you a merry Christmas and a happy twenty twenty sixth,
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: and to thank the Woor family and staff for another
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: great year of radio and especially your technical crew is great.
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: The fade ins and fade outs a flawless unlike the
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: radio station up to Dow.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: You know most people glad you said that most people
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: don't pay attention to the fade ins.
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: Ah Man, your staff is really on the other station
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: up the dial. I'm not gonna.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Measure any it, but you can't. You know. See, we like,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: we like use a lot of contemporary music. Every other
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: station right here, it's all songs from nineteen eighty three.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: It's all the old stuff.
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: But not only that, Mark, they're faded in and out,
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: and a lot of times they get cross talk, they
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: get two programs playing at once. I mean, you're going
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: what am I in the twilight zone?
• 53:26
  Speaker 7: Mark?
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: That being said, I know you're going to be attending
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: a lot of parties which you already have been attending,
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: and I know you're gonna probably speak to President Trump,
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: will maybe even go party, which for President Trump friends
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: in Italy that sent me a package.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: First off, what do you mean they sent me a package?
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: What does a.
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: Package for mealy? And they told me they couldn't even
• 53:51
  Speaker 5: put all the stuff in there that they wanted because
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: of the kind of package. So anyway, Mark, I can't
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: get so any I'm told that it's being held up
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: for customs. All Mark, Well, put in a good word
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: for me, you know what I'm saying.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: You know, if I were customs, if something came from
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: your friends in Italy to you, I I want to
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: check that package too, you know, Come on, Mark, No, no, well,

• 54:25

• 56:11
  Speaker 9: Like I'm not even halfway into what I'm what I'm
• 56:14
  Speaker 9: committed to eat between now and Christmas, and I already
• 56:17
  Speaker 9: have the wardrobe department chasing me with an ozembic needle.
• 56:20
  Speaker 9: So I'm in a tough spot here, Simon. Like i
• 56:25

• 56:27
  Speaker 9: that before.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: No thousands of my at one buffet. You know I didn't.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: I forgot you could actually eat sitting down. I didn't
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: even know you could do that anymore. So, hey, what
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: do you think of this? The Oscar. It's been on
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: television for a million years, ABC for decades, It's going
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: to YouTube. What does that signify?
• 56:46
  Speaker 9: Well, we had always knew the show was too long,
• 56:51
  Speaker 9: and know how they would say it was too.
• 56:52
  Speaker 13: Long, and they're worried about.
• 56:53
  Speaker 9: Advertising and stuff. I don't know that anybody even cares.
• 56:58
  Speaker 9: Like they have fallen so foreign prestige, Like you think
• 57:01
  Speaker 9: about that, okay, Like the Oscars used to be like
• 57:05
  Speaker 9: the classiest, biggest spectacle in the history of the of
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: the country every year, Like that was the night like
• 57:10
  Speaker 9: the one night. Now they're gonna be co headlining YouTube
• 57:14
  Speaker 9: with a dog riding a skateboard, you know, some guy
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: teaching a blow up doll how to salsedan. Like it
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: doesn't seem like a fall in class, a little bit
• 57:23
  Speaker 9: a fall from grace maybe.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, but you're right. They used to have to.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: You know. They were yelling to wrap it up by
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: eleven o'clock for the news YouTube. They can take five
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: hours if they want so, it'll it'll, yep, totally get
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: out of control. So New Year's Eves that's the worst
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: night of the year, isn't it. It's a really annoying night.
• 57:43
  Speaker 13: Oh buddy.
• 57:44
  Speaker 9: If you are driving a cab, which is how I
• 57:47
  Speaker 9: started out in New Year's Eve, everyone should do it once.
• 57:50
  Speaker 9: It's like going to watch the ball drop in Tonker.
• 57:52
  Speaker 9: You should do it once, you know, if you could,
• 57:53
  Speaker 9: you can do it once.
• 57:54
  Speaker 13: Nobody I know does it twice.
• 57:55
  Speaker 9: I don't know a cab driver who has driven multiple
• 57:58
  Speaker 9: New Year's eaves. They've driven wall okay, and they've seen
• 58:01
  Speaker 9: everything you'd expect to see. Okay. It's like a well
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: dressed Saint Patrick's Day parade.
• 58:07
  Speaker 13: You know, Saint Patrick State Parade.
• 58:08
  Speaker 9: All my drunk relatives come into the city marching the parade.
• 58:11
  Speaker 9: Than they're hammered and screaming and breaking up and crying.
• 58:14
  Speaker 9: And that's pretty much New Year's Eve. Yeah, except you're
• 58:17
  Speaker 9: trapped in a small vehicle with them instead of a
• 58:19
  Speaker 9: bar with a jukebox.
• 58:20
  Speaker 13: It's intense.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: Well in New York s e. When you make more money,
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: when you make a fortune on New Year's Eve as
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: a cab driver.
• 58:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but you wind up giving half of it to
• 58:28
  Speaker 9: the guy at the garage who has to clean all
• 58:31
  Speaker 9: the substances out of the back.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, Hey, Joe Biden, he seems to be showing up
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: in public more and more, making more speech. What the
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: hell why is he suddenly out in public everywhere?
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 58:44
  Speaker 9: I don't like, I don't get what's going on with that,
• 58:47
  Speaker 9: because you know, we watched him last week when he
• 58:50
  Speaker 9: said the United States of Ameer got it?
• 58:51
  Speaker 13: Do you remember that again?
• 58:52
  Speaker 9: With the United States of America got it? And you
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: know I always tell you this. He makes me feel
• 58:58
  Speaker 9: bad for the sign language and interpret you know, because
• 59:02
  Speaker 9: that guy finally got a break after four years of
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: having to make up sign Now Biden's back out on
• 59:08
  Speaker 9: the road inventing words. Look, if you're the sign language
• 59:11
  Speaker 9: interpreter guy, you don't have a symbol for ameragot it.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: You know, that's a good point. Hey, Trump's President Trump's
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: speech last night. I don't know. I don't think he's
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: going his best reading off the teleprompter, do you no?
• 59:25
  Speaker 9: And it was funny because he delivered the speech like
• 59:28
  Speaker 9: he had ten thousand people screaming in an arena, which
• 59:31
  Speaker 9: made it look a little weird in a dry room.
• 59:35
  Speaker 13: You know, he was kind of like overperforming.
• 59:37
  Speaker 7: And somebody was telling me, well, like we.
• 59:39
  Speaker 9: You don't understand the network's only gave him fifteen minutes.
• 59:41
  Speaker 9: I get that, but it doesn't mean just because you
• 59:44
  Speaker 9: have fifteen minutes, you need to squeeze in two hours
• 59:47
  Speaker 9: and ten minutes worth of material like he was. You know,
• 59:50
  Speaker 9: that was a runway stream and he made a lot
• 59:53
  Speaker 9: of good points, but like, you don't necessarily process them
• 59:56
  Speaker 9: all when they come at you that quick. So the
• 59:59
  Speaker 9: one thing I took away though, as I.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 13: Was saying on Twitter, he gave money to the troops.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: So we've got a president who gives money to the troops.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 9: The last president gave drag shows to the troops, so
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 9: I think we're in a better place.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: Hey. Also, he was missing all the bells and whistles.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: Usually when you do a speech, you know, you have
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: all the cabinet around, you're shaking hands after you're done
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: or something like that, or like a little pregame. They
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: didn't do any of that, did they. Everybody else was gone.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was the state it was.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 9: It was the state of the Union minus the Union.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 9: But he he came out.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 13: You know, he's very forceful, uh.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 9: And you know he made points. But the thing is,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 9: it's we do one thing about Trump, like if it's
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 9: on his mind, it's on your television, it's on your
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 9: Twitter feed. Like he doesn't necessarily have the bedside manner
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: of like good evening and happy holidays. It literally opened
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 9: with like Joe Biden has dementia. He routined the country
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: we were about to die. I turned it around and.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 13: Happy holidays, thank you.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: Hey, Dan Bungeeo, Dan Bungino's leaving the FBI. And I
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: was saying before I can understand you would know it's
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: fun to do a TV show, it's fun to do
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: a radio show. Who would give that up to go
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: sit at a desk in FBI headquarters and it's the
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: most boring job in the.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 9: Early You're not the only one who's asked yourself that
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 9: question because you want to know what he probably was
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 9: killing him too, is you know when he was in
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 9: the podcast space, he could say whatever the hell he wanted,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 9: none of it needed to be true. And you know
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 9: he was selling merch like Epstein didn't hang himself, Like
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 9: that's what he was doing. But then when you get into.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 13: That job, you got to rein it in a little bit.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 9: And it also sucks because things that you say can
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 9: be disproven, Like remember when he had to go on
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 9: TV and go I know I used to say he
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 9: didn't hang himself, but trust me, I saw the evidence
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 9: he hung himself. And what I loved about that video
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 9: is if you looked close, you could see the CIA
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 9: person pointing the gun at him from behind the curtain.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 9: It's nice, nice the way they do that, you know.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: But you know, all of our Fox buddies, like I
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: don't know, Sean Duffy, whoever, would you rather be doing
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: a TV show than the transportation secretary meeting with railroad
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: union exit? Who the hell wants to do that? All day?
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 13: Yeah, Well, I would rather.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 9: Be doing TV than anything because if I had a
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 9: cabinet job, they would run a background check and that'd
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 9: be the end of all of it. You know, my
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 9: twenties who But I get it. It's it's a cool
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 9: thing for a minute, though, because it's the one for
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 9: a minute. A lot of people for a minute. A
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 9: lot of people who work in news don't want to
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 9: cover the story.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 13: They want to be the story.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 9: So if you get one of those jobs, for a
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 9: little while, you're the story. But then what you've come
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 9: to realize is, you know, being the story gets old.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 13: Where we're at now.
• 1:02:49
