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

• 16:57
  Speaker 1: makes the same joke. I already made that joke this morning,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and he's going to speech and he says, but I
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: do have something very controversial to say. I'm still a
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Cubs fan. So Dolan did that when he came here too.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I'm still a Cardinals fan. But now the only if
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: there's a bad side to the Hicks can be a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: little left wing, a little woke, but all right, that
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: can be cured. But we wish him very well and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to today. We'll take
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: some calls next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: seven ten
