Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the Mark Simon Show on sevent ten.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Wolaw.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Well it's Friday already. Well remember it's just a four
- 0:15Speaker 1: day week. But we got a lot to get to today,
- 0:18Speaker 1: and it looks like it looks like it's gonna rain
- 0:21Speaker 1: all day. Then it'll stop raining tonight, no rain tonight,
- 0:24Speaker 1: and then tomorrow'll be okay. Sunday, there is a possibility
- 0:28Speaker 1: of snow, but it looks like it's just one to
- 0:29Speaker 1: three inches, maybe one inch, and that storm could change direction,
- 0:33Speaker 1: so we'll keep an eye on that. President Trump has
- 0:36Speaker 1: said Iran has ten to fifteen days, ten to fifteen
- 0:41Speaker 1: days to come to the bargaining table, work out a deal,
- 0:45Speaker 1: or else. Now remember he loves that ten to fifteen days.
- 0:49Speaker 1: He's done that a number of times in other situations.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Ten to fifteen days and then forty eight hours later
- 0:55Speaker 1: he attacks, So don't count on that ten to fifteen days.
- 0:58Speaker 1: A lot of people this is just wash rington rumor
- 1:01Speaker 1: at this point say Saturdays the day for the attack,
- 1:05Speaker 1: but who knows? Who knows? And then some say, well,
- 1:07Speaker 1: he wouldn't do it before the State of the Union.
- 1:09Speaker 1: You never know, You never know with him, they may
- 1:11Speaker 1: have an attack figured out that so precise, so clever
- 1:14Speaker 1: can't miss that. They would do it before the State
- 1:17Speaker 1: of the Union. Here's President Trump.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Now is the time for Iran to join us on
- 1:21Speaker 3: a path that will complete what we're doing.
- 1:25Speaker 1: And if they join us, that'll be great. If they
- 1:26Speaker 1: don't join us, that'll be great too, but it would
- 1:29Speaker 1: be a very different path. Now, sometimes he does a
- 1:33Speaker 1: little strike, just a little something to motivate you if
- 1:37Speaker 1: you're not quite at the table, a little strike first,
- 1:39Speaker 1: So that could happen Saturday. Warren guys is over. That's
- 1:42Speaker 1: another word. We'll get to that a little later. Ten
- 1:46Speaker 1: to fifteen days. State of the Union is Tuesday night,
- 1:51Speaker 1: and he's got a lot to talk about. You know,
- 1:53Speaker 1: they've created this whole affordability myth. I mean, there has
- 1:56Speaker 1: been an affordability crisis caused by Joe Biden, where you
- 2:00Speaker 1: inflation up to nine percent, a staggering amount, and thing's
- 2:05Speaker 1: a mess. The President has brought it down. You got
- 2:07Speaker 1: inflation hovering around two and a half percent now and
- 2:12Speaker 1: slowly but surely dropping. The latest report up a little,
- 2:15Speaker 1: but overall down. So he's got to explain that to
- 2:19Speaker 1: the American people, that this affordability crisis that's been there
- 2:23Speaker 1: is getting much better now. He's got to be careful.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Advisors have been telling this, don't say it's solved, don't
- 2:29Speaker 1: say you fixed it, because people still feel it. So
- 2:32Speaker 1: you've got to say, here's what we've gotten done, here's
- 2:35Speaker 1: the improvement. We're not done yet, here's what's coming. So
- 2:38Speaker 1: you got to do it that way. We'll talk about
- 2:40Speaker 1: it Tuesday night.
- 2:41Speaker 3: It would say affordable that everybody would say, oh, Trump's course, No,
- 2:44Speaker 3: they craused they caused the affordability problem and we've solved
- 2:48Speaker 3: it and we're going still lower, but we've solved it.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. You got to tone that down
- 2:55Speaker 1: for the State of the Union. This is what they're
- 2:57Speaker 1: telling Trump, but you're not always listening to everybody.
- 3:00Speaker 3: Heroded a mess with high prices and high inflation, and
- 3:03Speaker 3: we've turned it around and we've made it great. And
- 3:06Speaker 3: they don't mention. Like I said before, they don't mention
- 3:09Speaker 3: the word affordability, Kelly, they don't mention. I haven't heard
- 3:13Speaker 3: the word in two weeks.
- 3:14Speaker 2: All right.
- 3:14Speaker 1: That's tim ed living. State of the Union is a
- 3:16Speaker 1: written speech. Hopefully it'll be a little a little more
- 3:19Speaker 1: toned down there a little more on message on Tuesday night. Hey,
- 3:25Speaker 1: the ballroom the Trump wants to build got a big
- 3:29Speaker 1: step forward yesterday it got approved. There's two basic steps
- 3:34Speaker 1: you got to do to get the whole thing done.
- 3:38Speaker 1: But there's the Washington DC Commission of Fine Arts. They've
- 3:41Speaker 1: got to approve it. Well, they did unanimously approved the
- 3:44Speaker 1: ballroom yesterday. Now he's got to go to the National
- 3:46Speaker 1: Capitol Planning Commission and get it done there on March fifth,
- 3:51Speaker 1: and then go ahead. If you look at what's going
- 3:53Speaker 1: on at the ballroom, they've leveled everything and there's all
- 3:56Speaker 1: kinds of construction equipment there. It's a big construction site.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Now they're ready to go. And Trump is an amazing
- 4:03Speaker 1: builder when it comes to speed, even as even his
- 4:07Speaker 1: competition will say that, you know, when you see a
- 4:09Speaker 1: Trump building go up now in the middle of Manhattan,
- 4:11Speaker 1: the one across from the UN or wherever he's building
- 4:14Speaker 1: a huge skyscraper, it's amazing. Six months later it's there.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I mean, he gets it done very fast and clean
- 4:21Speaker 1: and neat. If you notice first avenue was the un
- 4:25Speaker 1: plazas across the street the Great Apartment building and a
- 4:29Speaker 1: lot of stuff there, a lot of other building that
- 4:30Speaker 1: were concerned about Trump this construction. He basically he took
- 4:34Speaker 1: up about half a lane of the street and got
- 4:37Speaker 1: it done real fast. So you'll see that with the ballroom,
- 4:39Speaker 1: the ballroom. If you get the approval, the ballroom will
- 4:42Speaker 1: be there by the fall. I know, it's hard to believe.
- 4:45Speaker 1: And he says it'll be the most spectacular ballroom ever
- 4:49Speaker 1: built in America. Of course, Democrats will yell and scream
- 4:52Speaker 1: and one day going to get a Democratic president, would
- 4:55Speaker 1: he have the nerve to tear it down because it's
- 4:58Speaker 1: the Trump Ballroom? Would he have the nerve? It's huge,
- 5:01Speaker 1: That's the only thing I don't like. It's too big.
- 5:03Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you got to make it that big.
- 5:05Speaker 1: But if you look at the building, it's like the
- 5:06Speaker 1: same size as the White House in some ways even bigger.
- 5:09Speaker 1: But would a Democrat have the nerve to tear it down?
- 5:14Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 5:14Speaker 1: That's a big step. So latest on Nancy Guthrie, there
- 5:18Speaker 1: is no latest. A couple of little things. They've increased
- 5:21Speaker 1: the reward to two hundred thousand. That's still very low
- 5:27Speaker 1: for such a big case. It's two hundred thousand right now.
- 5:31Speaker 1: The president, who's put everything he's got on. He's got
- 5:34Speaker 1: four hundred people on the ground working on this. He's
- 5:38Speaker 1: not happy with the locals, and he keeps yelling at
- 5:41Speaker 1: all the people on the ground, do more, find more.
- 5:44Speaker 1: He doesn't like the local sheriff, who's a bit of
- 5:47Speaker 1: a bumbler. Now, for instance, they've got some drones flying
- 5:52Speaker 1: around with bluetooth something in there. Apparently they think there's
- 5:56Speaker 1: a way they can detect the pacemaker through bluetooth. So
- 6:01Speaker 1: they've got low flying drones going everywhere seeing they can
- 6:03Speaker 1: spot that pacemaker. They've announced this, and as President Trump
- 6:06Speaker 1: correctly points out, don't announce that. Don't tell them what
- 6:11Speaker 1: you're going to do. If you got a clue or
- 6:12Speaker 1: some evidence you're looking for, don't put it out in
- 6:14Speaker 1: public and let the criminals know you're looking for that,
- 6:17Speaker 1: because God knows what they do with that pacemaker if
- 6:20Speaker 1: they think it's going to get them caught. So if
- 6:23Speaker 1: you've got this technology, keep it quiet, just use it,
- 6:26Speaker 1: don't announce it. The sheriff being an absolute idiot announcing that.
- 6:30Speaker 1: The only other thing development you know that holster in
- 6:34Speaker 1: the doorbell video, you could see that holster. The guy
- 6:36Speaker 1: had on the front. Apparently it's the world's cheapest, crummiest holster.
- 6:42Speaker 1: It's as they put it out, nobody that knows what
- 6:44Speaker 1: they're doing would use that holster. No professional criminal would
- 6:47Speaker 1: use that holster. A gun store wouldn't even bother to
- 6:51Speaker 1: carry it. It's just a cheap, one size fits all holstered,
- 6:55Speaker 1: really cheap piece of crap that you could get on
- 6:57Speaker 1: Amazon or something. So they based on that. They don't
- 7:00Speaker 1: think there's any kind of professional criminal that knows what
- 7:03Speaker 1: they're doing. That's basically about it. They're trying to get
- 7:07Speaker 1: to Mexico to help. They believe she may be across
- 7:09Speaker 1: the border. Apparently Mexican officials not being too cooperative. Latest
- 7:16Speaker 1: on Prince Andrew. He has been released. They held him
- 7:19Speaker 1: there all day. He was in custody all day long.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Apparently Prince Andrew was in bed asleep. It was eight
- 7:26Speaker 1: in the morning. I mean, he's a royal. You don't
- 7:29Speaker 1: have to get up till noon. You got nothing to
- 7:31Speaker 1: do all day. But he was in bed asleep when
- 7:34Speaker 1: all of a sudden, police detectives were shaking him and
- 7:37Speaker 1: waking him up, and apparently he got very upset. You know,
- 7:41Speaker 1: he's Prince Andrew. He's a prince, he's royal. He's not
- 7:45Speaker 1: used to police even having a nerve to come into
- 7:47Speaker 1: his house or his bedroom, but to wake him up
- 7:49Speaker 1: and try to drag him out of bed. Apparently put
- 7:52Speaker 1: up quite a fight. He was not happy about being
- 7:55Speaker 1: bothered by the police. He got very, very aggressive, arrogant,
- 8:00Speaker 1: crazy with them. That may be the reason they held
- 8:03Speaker 1: them all day. Now. They've been going through his houses.
- 8:08Speaker 1: He's got two houses. They've been searching everything. That usually
- 8:12Speaker 1: means taking his computers and looking through his computers, and
- 8:15Speaker 1: it's Prince Andrew. Can you imagine what's in those computers?
- 8:21Speaker 1: Imagine what he has on there? Who knows what kind
- 8:24Speaker 1: of porn, what kind of this, what kind of that?
- 8:27Speaker 1: President Trump asked him about it.
- 8:28Speaker 3: I'm the expert in a way, because I've been totally exonerated.
- 8:31Speaker 1: It's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely.
- 8:34Speaker 1: I think it's a shame. I think it's very sad.
- 8:37Speaker 1: I think it's so bad for the royal family.
- 8:40Speaker 2: It's a very very sad.
- 8:41Speaker 5: To me.
- 8:41Speaker 3: It's a very sad thing when I see that, it's
- 8:43Speaker 3: a very sad thing.
- 8:46Speaker 1: The last time I remember the royal family was arrested.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Was four hundred years ago. I hate to say this.
- 8:53Speaker 1: I believe he was executed, the one that was a
- 8:55Speaker 1: King Charles the First or some I think he was
- 8:58Speaker 1: executed or life in prison, and it was something very
- 9:01Speaker 1: very bad. Now, Andrew is not accused of anything sexual
- 9:07Speaker 1: with Epstein in these charges. This is a different matter.
- 9:10Speaker 1: This is all about he was giving Epstein classified documents.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Andrew was at the time the favorite son of the queen,
- 9:22Speaker 1: so she got him a big job as the trade envoy.
- 9:26Speaker 1: He was not at all qualified for it. Everybody said
- 9:29Speaker 1: he's stunk at the job, but he and they had
- 9:31Speaker 1: to send a lot of professionals with him to work
- 9:34Speaker 1: out these deals all over. He visited all these countries
- 9:36Speaker 1: as the trade envoy, but you had access. He had
- 9:40Speaker 1: access to all the documents. And these are documents that
- 9:43Speaker 1: show what's going to happen around the world, country by country,
- 9:47Speaker 1: what's going to get built, what's going to happen, what's
- 9:49Speaker 1: going to open up. This is very valuable information to
- 9:53Speaker 1: certain business people who could make a fortune with this
- 9:56Speaker 1: advance information. But it's highly classified and they could see
- 10:01Speaker 1: in the Epstein files. In writing, Andrew passing this stuff
- 10:05Speaker 1: along to Epstein. They both knew it was classified. They
- 10:09Speaker 1: both knew it was top secret. He passed it along
- 10:11Speaker 1: to Epstein numerous times, Epstein passing it along to business people.
- 10:16Speaker 1: It's a kind of a form of insider trading now,
- 10:21Speaker 1: leaking classified information. It's one thing of its military secrets
- 10:24Speaker 1: or the nation's defense. This is all financial stuff, this
- 10:28Speaker 1: is all business stuff, but it's still leaking classified documents.
- 10:31Speaker 1: It's very serious stuff. You go to prison for something
- 10:35Speaker 1: like that. So Andrew's got a major, major, major problem.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Now you heard President Trump saying that clip, Well, I've
- 10:41Speaker 1: been totally exonerated. He's going to say that a lot
- 10:44Speaker 1: because it drives the left nuts. He has been exonerated
- 10:48Speaker 1: in the Epstein stuff in the sense that everybody's been
- 10:53Speaker 1: through the five million pages now, especially the media, especially
- 10:58Speaker 1: Trump's enemies. They can't find a thing in there that's
- 11:01Speaker 1: damaging to Trump. Nothing. And you'll hear on MSNBC they'll
- 11:06Speaker 1: say something like Trump's name comes up in the Epstein
- 11:08Speaker 1: files four hundred and twenty thousand times. Well it does,
- 11:13Speaker 1: but if you look at every one of those times,
- 11:16Speaker 1: it's Epstein bad mouthing Trump. They were big enemies. They
- 11:19Speaker 1: had been friends very early in the Epstein very early
- 11:23Speaker 1: in the Epstein years, when he first got the Palm
- 11:25Speaker 1: Beach and he was friendly with Trump. But as soon
- 11:27Speaker 1: as Trump got got wind of his stuff, he cut
- 11:31Speaker 1: him off immediately. Had didn't speak to him for a
- 11:34Speaker 1: couple of decades, and apparently Epstein was very very bitter
- 11:38Speaker 1: about it. So they became huge enemies. If you read
- 11:41Speaker 1: the Epstein files, and he should, that's fascinating stuff in there.
- 11:45Speaker 1: He just hated Trump. He hated Trump. He was trying
- 11:48Speaker 1: to do everything he could to end Trump. He and
- 11:50Speaker 1: Bannon are plotting on how to get rid of Trump,
- 11:52Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment, that kind of stuff. And then
- 11:55Speaker 1: that Sleesball, dirty writer that the fiction writer, Michael Wolf.
- 12:01Speaker 1: There's a mill he was very friendly with Epstein. There's
- 12:04Speaker 1: a million emails back and forth them bad mouthing Trump.
- 12:07Speaker 1: So all that's in there is that Epstein hated Trump
- 12:10Speaker 1: and there were big enemies. So he was exonerated. And
- 12:13Speaker 1: when every time you say that it drives them nuts.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Here's Morning Joe this Morning, yelling screaming for ten minutes
- 12:20Speaker 1: about warning Trump not to claim you're totally exonerated. Well,
- 12:23Speaker 1: he is totally exonerated. There's nothing, nothing in those Epstein
- 12:27Speaker 1: files that would would harm him in any way. So
- 12:32Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with Prince Andrew. I think the
- 12:34Speaker 1: next court date for him is March fifth. Leslie Wexner
- 12:40Speaker 1: is a billionaire who is very old now he's eighty eight,
- 12:43Speaker 1: but way back when, when he was a guy in
- 12:46Speaker 1: his fifties, he was one of the first billionaires that
- 12:49Speaker 1: teamed up with Epstein and gave him lots of money.
- 12:51Speaker 1: In fact, if you study the whole history of Epstein,
- 12:55Speaker 1: there's a lot of billionaires along the way that helped
- 12:57Speaker 1: him become the multimillionaire. The one of the first was Wexner,
- 13:01Speaker 1: who was a big entrepreneur. He owned the limited Bath
- 13:07Speaker 1: and body Works or whatever that he known Abercrombie and Fitch.
- 13:10Speaker 1: He owned a lot of companies, so he was the
- 13:13Speaker 1: first to pour millions and millions into Epstein's wealth management fund.
- 13:18Speaker 1: He had to testify yesterday. He's eighty eight now and
- 13:22Speaker 1: from what everybody can see, he had nothing to do
- 13:25Speaker 1: with any kind of women, sex, none of that. His
- 13:27Speaker 1: relationship with Epstein was all business. He testified to that
- 13:32Speaker 1: although the Democrats on a committee, you know. They asked him,
- 13:35Speaker 1: did you ever have any women that you met through
- 13:38Speaker 1: at No. Then they asked did you ever have sex
- 13:41Speaker 1: with Epstein? He looked at stunned and said no, And
- 13:46Speaker 1: a couple of times he started to open up at length,
- 13:48Speaker 1: and his lawyer kept getting mad, and at one point
- 13:51Speaker 1: the lawyer said to Wexner, if you blanken, if you
- 13:55Speaker 1: efin answer one more question at length with more than
- 13:58Speaker 1: five words, I'm going to kill you now. They both
- 14:01Speaker 1: looked at each other and kind of smiled, but he
- 14:03Speaker 1: made the point. So the hearings will continue. A big
- 14:07Speaker 1: thing will be Hillary and Bill Clinton. They're going to
- 14:09Speaker 1: have to try to explain why they got so involved
- 14:12Speaker 1: with Epstein. Not just a Bill with girls, but but
- 14:17Speaker 1: Hillary with Epstein, getting him to begin and first fund
- 14:21Speaker 1: and helped found and start the Clinton Global Initiative. It
- 14:25Speaker 1: was Epstein all involved in that. If you read through
- 14:27Speaker 1: the documents, you could see that they thought they were
- 14:31Speaker 1: creating the new Davos, the new World Economic Forum. The
- 14:35Speaker 1: Davos is where the billionaires go in January. For them,
- 14:38Speaker 1: they were trying to create another one of those events.
- 14:41Speaker 1: But unlike Davos, the Clinton one seemed to be also
- 14:45Speaker 1: a very profitable thing. It was supposed to be the
- 14:47Speaker 1: exchange of ideas seemed to be more the exchange of
- 14:50Speaker 1: funds and money. It became a very profitable enterprise. But
- 14:55Speaker 1: Epstein very involved in the creation of the Clinton Global Initiative.
- 14:59Speaker 1: And then she's gon I have to explain her lies
- 15:01Speaker 1: over the last couple of months. Gallaiine Maxwell, when she
- 15:05Speaker 1: was asked, she said, I don't don't recall ever meeting her.
- 15:09Speaker 1: I don't really know her. Then they look at the
- 15:12Speaker 1: photos of Chelsea's wedding. There's gallaid Maxwell right in the
- 15:15Speaker 1: front there at the wedding. Hillary had a change your story. Well,
- 15:20Speaker 1: I may have met her a couple of times, so
- 15:23Speaker 1: she's going to get pinned down on that. But they
- 15:25Speaker 1: got good lawyers. Hillary's not so great at the committees.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Remember she tends to get angry. Remember the ben Ghazi
- 15:31Speaker 1: hearings that you're yelling out, what difference does it make?
- 15:34Speaker 1: So she always loses an hearing. But Bill Bill Clinton
- 15:38Speaker 1: will be perfect. You can ask that guy anything. He'll
- 15:40Speaker 1: talk his way out of anything. Bill Clinton will just
- 15:43Speaker 1: give you one of those well you know always, you know,
- 15:46Speaker 1: I you know when you do that sounds like you're thinking,
- 15:50Speaker 1: but actually you're stalling. But if you read the the
- 15:54Speaker 1: whole story of Epstein, he's basically the Great Gatsby. It's
- 15:59Speaker 1: the same exact story. It's the same story that everybody
- 16:03Speaker 1: knew the guy just like Gatsby. He was this very wealthy,
- 16:06Speaker 1: mysterious guy. But boy through the most incredible parties, and
- 16:09Speaker 1: he lived in a mansion, and nobody knew where he
- 16:12Speaker 1: came from, and there were always whispers that whatever business
- 16:15Speaker 1: he did was shady sort of. He was exactly the
- 16:17Speaker 1: Great Gatsby, exactly the same, the Great Gatstein. We'll call
- 16:23Speaker 1: him the Great Gatstein. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
- 16:29Speaker 1: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
- 16:33Speaker 1: set up, pre said on the iHeartRadio app to douboor
- 16:37Speaker 1: to hear Mark live.
- 16:38Speaker 6: Set another for Mark's podcast to hear him any time.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Now back to Mark Zimone on woor Hey, let's take
- 16:48Speaker 1: some cause. Let's go to Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart,
- 16:52Speaker 1: how you doing, Hey, Mark?
- 16:54Speaker 2: Are you good?
- 16:54Speaker 5: Now?
- 16:55Speaker 7: I just want to mention the I cannot believe this.
- 16:57Speaker 7: He announced about this pacemaker when someone dies, that pacemaker
- 17:01Speaker 7: keeps working, it keeps sending signals.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Really, Stuart's a long time police officer, police official.
- 17:08Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's just unbelievable that they would even mention
- 17:13Speaker 7: that that's a possibility because most people don't know that.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Hey about how would you how would you have a drone?
- 17:18Speaker 1: How would it pick up that signal?
- 17:21Speaker 7: Just you know, all of them have their own personal
- 17:24Speaker 7: type signals on it. And these drones are so sensitive
- 17:27Speaker 7: the things that they put on them, they can pick
- 17:29Speaker 7: up minute impulses. So it's just a shot in the dark.
- 17:34Speaker 8: You know, Like I.
- 17:35Speaker 7: Said, I told you once before. Well I didn't come
- 17:37Speaker 7: out and say it, but I thought this woman was
- 17:39Speaker 7: gone shortly after she was taken. But it's a possibility.
- 17:43Speaker 7: You know, when I heard that he had dropped the
- 17:45Speaker 7: glove or thrown it out two miles from the scene,
- 17:48Speaker 7: or thrown it out anywhere, I knew this guy is
- 17:50Speaker 7: a complete idiot because you don't take evidence and throw
- 17:53Speaker 7: it out, you'd burn it. So there's no possibility of
- 17:56Speaker 7: DNA evidence. So this guy's not very bright.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Now let me ask another question. If if kidnapped an
- 18:00Speaker 1: eighty four year old woman who's not mobile and you've
- 18:03Speaker 1: held her for two weeks, how would you be holding it?
- 18:05Speaker 1: Would you ever locked up in a closet and a
- 18:07Speaker 1: room tied up? How would you.
- 18:09Speaker 7: That's the only thing I can think of. I don't
- 18:12Speaker 7: think she lasted very long, so he would probably bury
- 18:15Speaker 7: her or I don't know if he's near lakes or anything,
- 18:18Speaker 7: but that's the only possibility that I could think of.
- 18:20Speaker 7: And if he still has access to the body when
- 18:23Speaker 7: he heard about the pacemaker, he's going to be cutting
- 18:26Speaker 7: that thing out.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Oh good, But I've just I hate to even bring
- 18:31Speaker 1: all this up, but a woman that age, you got
- 18:34Speaker 1: her locked up, tied up, whatever, too, She's not going
- 18:36Speaker 1: to last and you're not feeding her properly. She does
- 18:38Speaker 1: never medicine.
- 18:40Speaker 7: No, no, I think it was a spur of the
- 18:42Speaker 7: moment thing. He took her on an impulse and then
- 18:44Speaker 7: didn't know what in the world to do with her.
- 18:47Speaker 7: I said, I. You know, when we spoke the other day,
- 18:49Speaker 7: you asked if criminals very bright, and I said, there's
- 18:52Speaker 7: probably some of the most stupid people I've ever met
- 18:55Speaker 7: in my life, but I think this guy was one
- 18:57Speaker 7: of them. He's an idiot.
- 18:59Speaker 1: Terrible Well, Stuart, great call. Thanks for calling. Let's go
- 19:03Speaker 1: to Blauvelt in Florida. Blouvelt, how you doing?
- 19:07Speaker 9: Mark?
- 19:07Speaker 8: Some all the morning said how way you good? The
- 19:11Speaker 8: show is the best.
- 19:12Speaker 10: Hey.
- 19:12Speaker 8: I noticed on this last this new round of government shutdown,
- 19:17Speaker 8: that they did involve the TSA this time, so there'd
- 19:19Speaker 8: be all the politicians are able to fly in and out.
- 19:21Speaker 2: With no headaches.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but you caught that. Huh Yeah. TSA is
- 19:26Speaker 1: always exempt because a couple of things you might not notice.
- 19:30Speaker 1: TSA is always exempt because all these congressmen and women
- 19:33Speaker 1: are in the airport every Friday and Sunday Monday. They're
- 19:36Speaker 1: always flying back and forth, and you never hear them
- 19:39Speaker 1: pick on the Transportation secretary ever, because it's right now,
- 19:44Speaker 1: it's Sean Duffy. Transportation secretaries know, you go to every
- 19:48Speaker 1: man and woman in Congress and say here's my cell phone.
- 19:50Speaker 1: You ever have a problem, you call me. Here's my
- 19:52Speaker 1: cell number. So that way, when they ever have a
- 19:55Speaker 1: problem getting home, they're in the airport any but they
- 19:57Speaker 1: can call them, and because of that relationship, they never
- 20:00Speaker 1: go after him publicly. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
- 20:05Speaker 1: how you doing?
- 20:06Speaker 4: Good morning? Okay, good morning matter Mark just as I
- 20:10Speaker 4: said yesterday that when the city raises the property taxes,
- 20:16Speaker 4: it goes through everything like Martezuba's revenge and lo and behold,
- 20:21Speaker 4: I'm reading. I still read the pay per form of
- 20:25Speaker 4: the paper in the New York Post yesterday on page
- 20:29Speaker 4: twenty nine and page seventeen day detailed the electric price
- 20:35Speaker 4: increases and the gas prices increases for all the various
- 20:40Speaker 4: types of buildings, residential, religious, church and according to how
- 20:46Speaker 4: many killowats you use, folks. As I said, it goes
- 20:51Speaker 4: through everything. The city, the city government in these blue
- 20:56Speaker 4: cities and states are the causes of you not being
- 21:01Speaker 4: able to pay your bills? Bottom line, I said it
- 21:05Speaker 4: at one month to the day, because.
- 21:07Speaker 1: You're right bottom line, Vincent, Why are you still reading
- 21:10Speaker 1: the paper edition of the newspaper? Why aren't you reading
- 21:12Speaker 1: it online?
- 21:14Speaker 4: I don't know. Sometimes when it's online. My first off,
- 21:18Speaker 4: my girlfriend got it online years ago. And when I
- 21:21Speaker 4: try to score to find something.
- 21:23Speaker 1: It's different now, Vincent, it's all perfected. First of all,
- 21:26Speaker 1: you buy the newspaper, everything in there's thirty six hours old.
- 21:29Speaker 1: It's thirty five stories. If you go online, everything's up
- 21:33Speaker 1: to the minute. It's one hundred and fifty stories.
- 21:35Speaker 4: It's yeah, but I got I get Fox News, I.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Know, but the newspaper go online, you know, like let's
- 21:40Speaker 1: take the New York Post. I think it's about eighty
- 21:43Speaker 1: maybe seventy five eighty thousand read the print edition and
- 21:46Speaker 1: three and a half million on the online edition.
- 21:49Speaker 4: So well, I guess I have to get the knack
- 21:52Speaker 4: of scroll and food the pages, because when I try
- 21:56Speaker 4: and do it, if I want to get the page five,
- 21:58Speaker 4: I wind up on page fifty fifty five.
- 22:01Speaker 1: No, no, it's all different. Now, it's all different.
- 22:02Speaker 3: Now.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Go to the New York Post website. It's great. They
- 22:05Speaker 1: updated like every minute. It's updated when you get the
- 22:08Speaker 1: print print edition was done like twenty seven hours ago.
- 22:12Speaker 4: Mark, did you see that for Black History Month at
- 22:15Speaker 4: the White House? Trump with that African American grandmother?
- 22:19Speaker 2: She was great.
- 22:20Speaker 4: That was absolutely phenomenal. I heard it over the radio
- 22:25Speaker 4: the other night, and yesterday I saw it on the
- 22:28Speaker 4: cell phone. That was absolutely great. Get calling this woman
- 22:32Speaker 4: actually America's grandmother.
- 22:35Speaker 1: She's great. She was fantastic, Vincent, great stuff.
- 22:37Speaker 2: We got.
- 22:38Speaker 1: We gotta go because hey, when we come back, Alan's
- 22:40Speaker 1: wide bell will be with us. She's very close to Uh,
- 22:42Speaker 1: it was very close to Rob Reiner and Rob Reiner's family.
- 22:45Speaker 1: I know he's been out there with him. Let's maybe
- 22:47Speaker 1: you'll give us an update on how they're doing and
- 22:49Speaker 1: we'll talk to him about a lot of stuff coming
- 22:51Speaker 1: up next on seven to ten w R.
- 22:54Speaker 2: You're listening to.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Well, Alan's Wibelle, the great writer, producer, comedian, best selling
- 23:04Speaker 1: author has written a great book about his life and
- 23:06Speaker 1: his career. You should get it. It's called Laughlines. Laughlines,
- 23:09Speaker 1: Great book by Alan's White Belle. Also follow him on
- 23:11Speaker 1: Instagram and Twitter and all that stuff. Alan's why Belle,
- 23:15Speaker 1: how you doing?
- 23:17Speaker 2: I'm great?
- 23:17Speaker 5: Mark, how you doing?
- 23:18Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good. Hey, you were very very close
- 23:21Speaker 1: to Rob Reiner and you've been with the family. How
- 23:24Speaker 1: they doing? How's everything going for them?
- 23:26Speaker 5: Well, you know it's my wife is more in touch
- 23:30Speaker 5: with the two kids than I am. You know, we've
- 23:34Speaker 5: shanged some texts now and then, but he's actually spoken
- 23:38Speaker 5: with them, and you can only imagine. You can only imagine.
- 23:42Speaker 5: You get two kids whose parents were taken away by
- 23:47Speaker 5: their brother, and you know, as far as we're concerned,
- 23:52Speaker 5: I did a.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Lot of movies with Rob.
- 23:54Speaker 5: We were very very close the two families, and we
- 23:59Speaker 5: were at their house when they brought their children home
- 24:03Speaker 5: from the hospital after they were born. So it goes
- 24:06Speaker 5: back a long way, and I think that those of
- 24:10Speaker 5: us who are closest with them are still traumatized.
- 24:14Speaker 2: To be frank, you know.
- 24:16Speaker 1: Well, well let's get off there, let's get onto something happy,
- 24:18Speaker 1: let's talk about something else. But thanks for the update.
- 24:22Speaker 1: But hey, what's the National Comedy Center? I see it
- 24:25Speaker 1: on your Instagram? The National Comedy Center? What is that?
- 24:28Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's it's this great place. It's in Jamestown,
- 24:33Speaker 5: New York. So you fly into Buffalo, you make a left,
- 24:38Speaker 5: and then go for a couple of hours.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Okay, well there's a great location. Who picked this location?
- 24:44Speaker 5: Well I think they picked it because Lucille Bull was
- 24:47Speaker 5: born there.
- 24:48Speaker 11: Oh okay, oh Jamestown. Yeah, yeah, Jamestown. But but we've
- 24:53Speaker 11: been there a handful of times and it's it's not
- 24:58Speaker 11: a hall of same as much as it is. It's
- 25:04Speaker 11: a center for all kinds of comedy. And it's high tech,
- 25:07Speaker 11: so if you put in somebody's name in the computer
- 25:10Speaker 11: when you walk in, it will tell.
- 25:12Speaker 5: You everything they did, everything they worked with the films
- 25:16Speaker 5: of Lucy and Ethel on the on the conveyor, conveyor belt,
- 25:20Speaker 5: you know, all kinds of these great sort of They
- 25:24Speaker 5: have Harper Marx's celts, the bottle, it's got George.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Colin's notes, Carl Reiner.
- 25:33Speaker 5: Uh he gave them all of his uh, his papers.
- 25:37Speaker 5: So it's quite it's more like a high tech library,
- 25:43Speaker 5: but with a lot of visuals. And what's really fun, Oh, Mark,
- 25:47Speaker 5: you love this. They have a bench that if you
- 25:51Speaker 5: sit on the bench a thought sound comes back.
- 25:55Speaker 2: Okay.
- 25:56Speaker 5: And so I was up there with Lorraine Newman. We
- 26:00Speaker 5: were doing something up there and we were sitting on
- 26:02Speaker 5: the couch and there's ten different kinds of farts and
- 26:06Speaker 5: I was trying to figure out. I asked the director.
- 26:09Speaker 5: I said, okay, so you had this idea for a
- 26:12Speaker 5: far couch. Fine, was there more than one draft of it?
- 26:17Speaker 5: Did a couple of them come in and say, yes,
- 26:19Speaker 5: those eight of those are good, but you're going to work.
- 26:21Speaker 2: On the other two.
- 26:22Speaker 5: But it's that's not exactly the high Row part of it.
- 26:27Speaker 5: There is a room upstairs that they call the Blue Room,
- 26:30Speaker 5: where they have footage of Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor
- 26:36Speaker 5: and people who were considered you know, off collar or
- 26:39Speaker 5: revolutionary at the time. It's really if you happen to
- 26:44Speaker 5: be in Jamestown, Like if you lose a bet and
- 26:46Speaker 5: you happen to be in Jamestown, you should go there.
- 26:50Speaker 5: It's a really great place.
- 26:52Speaker 2: And I think it was. It just won.
- 26:56Speaker 5: Museum of the.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Year, you know what I mean.
- 26:59Speaker 5: So it's it's really quite terrific.
- 27:01Speaker 1: It sounds great except for the location. It sounds perfect.
- 27:04Speaker 5: But yeah, it's not around the corner, you know what
- 27:07Speaker 5: I mean. But it's if you find yourself and Jamestown
- 27:11Speaker 5: dot us stop in.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, everything is documentaries now, I guess because it's
- 27:16Speaker 1: it's cheaper to make a documentary than to do a series.
- 27:18Speaker 1: But that's the most popular thing on streaming is documentaries.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Everybody's raving about that mel Brooks documentary. So isn't that great?
- 27:26Speaker 5: Well, you've got Afa Tower is a good tal and
- 27:30Speaker 5: he sent me it both parts of it before he edited.
- 27:36Speaker 5: And these are great, you know what they are, the
- 27:40Speaker 5: time capsule things there. When you look at Rob Ryan
- 27:45Speaker 5: as who you mentioned earlier, did a really good one
- 27:48Speaker 5: about Albert Brooks.
- 27:51Speaker 2: You've got all of.
- 27:51Speaker 5: These documentaries that basically it shows a oh an object,
- 28:00Speaker 5: this kind of tribute to people. Yeah, it's subjective because
- 28:04Speaker 5: you're doing a documentary about them. There was one on Chevy,
- 28:07Speaker 5: there was one. You know, they're doing one on me
- 28:12Speaker 5: because of all the people I worked with, so they
- 28:16Speaker 5: can get all they got, all those people giving testimony.
- 28:20Speaker 5: It's not me that they're selling, but all these people
- 28:22Speaker 5: endorsing me, and they've been working on it for a
- 28:25Speaker 5: couple of years now.
- 28:26Speaker 2: But I like them. I like them.
- 28:28Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, Judd at the House sent
- 28:31Speaker 5: me a rough hut of one that he did. It
- 28:36Speaker 5: hasn't been released yet on Norm McDonald and if you
- 28:40Speaker 5: were a fan of Norms, you'll eat up every second
- 28:42Speaker 5: of this.
- 28:42Speaker 2: It's really good. So I like them.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Yeah, now that's great. So as long as we're pluging documentaries,
- 28:48Speaker 1: there's a new Sinatra documentary. It's called Echoes of an Icon.
- 28:53Speaker 1: It was on Fox Nation. It's also on Amazon. It's great.
- 28:56Speaker 1: You should go look at that. What else, Hey, you're
- 29:00Speaker 1: working on the Rodney Dangerfield Broadway show.
- 29:03Speaker 5: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I put it aside
- 29:05Speaker 5: to be on the phone with you right now, and
- 29:09Speaker 5: I know that's okay.
- 29:12Speaker 2: I needed to break mark.
- 29:15Speaker 5: It's really fun. I've been working on it a very
- 29:19Speaker 5: long time. It's not an easy thing to do. It's
- 29:22Speaker 5: easy for me to capture his voice. But what way
- 29:25Speaker 5: do you take it?
- 29:26Speaker 2: How do you do it?
- 29:27Speaker 5: We had a reading of it all a few months ago.
- 29:30Speaker 5: It went very well, but then the producers wanted to
- 29:34Speaker 5: go another way with it, and I resisted at first.
- 29:38Speaker 5: But now that I'm writing it, I'm going, Yeah, they
- 29:40Speaker 5: were right.
- 29:40Speaker 2: It's more intimate.
- 29:42Speaker 5: It's more intimate if I make it more.
- 29:44Speaker 2: Of a monologue, you know, where he.
- 29:46Speaker 5: Tells jokes, but he also tells about his life and
- 29:50Speaker 5: it gets very very touching at points. So I'm having
- 29:53Speaker 5: a really good time doing it. I can't wait for
- 29:55Speaker 5: the next step.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Yeah, the off stage Rodney was quite different from the
- 30:00Speaker 1: on stage Rodney, and his private story is pretty complex
- 30:05Speaker 1: and interesting.
- 30:06Speaker 5: So it's very complex, you know. If you read his book,
- 30:09Speaker 5: he was very very open about a childhood where mom
- 30:13Speaker 5: never hugged him, Dad was never around. He was out
- 30:17Speaker 5: there as a little kid, you know, on the streets.
- 30:20Speaker 5: And when he ultimately created this character, I don't get
- 30:25Speaker 5: no respect. I think that there was for him. I
- 30:30Speaker 5: think it was cathartic. I think it tapped into a
- 30:33Speaker 5: part of him that was true and it was part
- 30:36Speaker 5: of his therapy, and I think that that's why he resonated.
- 30:40Speaker 5: He just wasn't a guy telling jokes, which he had
- 30:42Speaker 5: the best jokes in the world. But I think that
- 30:45Speaker 5: you believe that there was a part of.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Him that was.
- 30:50Speaker 5: Believed it, you know, and he's and actually he says,
- 30:53Speaker 5: you know, he says in his book that the reason
- 30:56Speaker 5: that he told those jokes one right after another and
- 31:00Speaker 5: did them so rapidly that he was afraid he was
- 31:03Speaker 5: going to lose the audience between jokes if he didn't
- 31:06Speaker 5: get to the next punchline. So you're talking about an
- 31:09Speaker 5: emotional deprivation there, you know underneath. You know, I don't
- 31:13Speaker 5: want to get a discsychobabble about it, but he was
- 31:16Speaker 5: a real guy and he did have his demons.
- 31:19Speaker 1: Yeah, now, is this show going to get into it
- 31:21Speaker 1: in real life? The drugs, the women.
- 31:24Speaker 5: Oh, the drugs, the women. Listen, you know, and I've
- 31:27Speaker 5: been asking people who knew him better than me. I
- 31:29Speaker 5: knew him pretty well, but you know, I've heard that
- 31:33Speaker 5: you remember the catcherizing star of course, Yeah, Okay, catchurizing star.
- 31:38Speaker 5: You know, it was a showcase up and coming comedians.
- 31:41Speaker 5: Rodney would stop in there, you know, let's say ten
- 31:44Speaker 5: o'clock at night, wearing his pajamas. He walked from his
- 31:48Speaker 5: apartment through the streets and his pajamas. So that I
- 31:52Speaker 5: have no explanation for no one's been able to tell
- 31:55Speaker 5: me why.
- 31:56Speaker 1: You know, he actually lived like a block from Catch
- 31:58Speaker 1: A rising star.
- 31:59Speaker 5: Yeah, and yes, he did live very very close to
- 32:02Speaker 5: Catch and he from everything that I've learned, he opened
- 32:07Speaker 5: up danger Fields because.
- 32:09Speaker 2: He wanted to be near the kids.
- 32:10Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, he lived it was like a few blocks away,
- 32:14Speaker 5: so he didn't want to be on the road as much.
- 32:17Speaker 5: You know, he wanted to sleep home at night and
- 32:20Speaker 5: be a father. So you know, there were really good
- 32:23Speaker 5: intentions there.
- 32:24Speaker 1: And his partner Dangerfield, Tony Bavakua, who is the guy
- 32:27Speaker 1: that really ran the club. He's still alive and well
- 32:29Speaker 1: he's living on Long Island and yeah.
- 32:32Speaker 5: That's my understanding as well.
- 32:34Speaker 2: That's why. You know, it was the hangout.
- 32:36Speaker 5: You know, they're on occasion and uh and it was
- 32:41Speaker 5: a thrill to meet him and you go downstairs to
- 32:43Speaker 5: his dressing room and you couldn't believe you were talking
- 32:47Speaker 5: to this guy, you know, in a bathroom Genuinethe Yeah,
- 32:53Speaker 5: in his bathrobe exactly. But then he would take off
- 32:56Speaker 5: the bathrobe and walk the catch a rising stone in pajamas.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Well you were lucky because with me, the bathroobe was
- 33:02Speaker 1: there were no pajamas, just the bathroom. So you got luck.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Oh my god, oh boy, it's frightening.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Anyway, everybody follow Alan's y Bell on Twitter and make

- 34:27Speaker 1: of the storm. Now could move our way or could
- 34:29Speaker 1: move the opposite way, So keep an eye on that.
- 34:32Speaker 1: The Supreme Court ruled this morning that the Trump tariffs
- 34:35Speaker 1: are not legal. The Trump tariffs are illegal. The Emergency
- 34:40Speaker 1: whatever act that he used to enact them, they say,
- 34:44Speaker 1: does not allow him to impose tariffs on other countries.
- 34:48Speaker 1: So they have knocked down the tariffs. The vote was
- 34:50Speaker 1: six to three to get rid of the tariffs. Now
- 34:56Speaker 1: there's some question does that mean the money that's already
- 34:59Speaker 1: been collected, which is billions and billions and billions of dollars,
- 35:04Speaker 1: does that need to be returned? And this has all
- 35:07Speaker 1: got to be worked out the White House now analyzing
- 35:11Speaker 1: the court ruling, you have to go over this thing.
- 35:13Speaker 1: It's long and complex. So let me see stock market
- 35:18Speaker 1: up one hundred and twenty points. So Wall Street basically
- 35:20Speaker 1: likes that a little. I don't know the tariffs. I
- 35:24Speaker 1: don't know that they'll have to return the money. We'll see,
- 35:26Speaker 1: we'll see. It's a big blow to the trumpet mistress,
- 35:31Speaker 1: especially right before the State of the Union. But he's
- 35:34Speaker 1: got three four days to figure this out.
- 35:35Speaker 8: Now.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Remember, the State of the Union is a chance for
- 35:38Speaker 1: the President to explain everything to the public. Most people
- 35:42Speaker 1: will watch the State of the Union and they've been
- 35:45Speaker 1: fed all sorts of fake nonsense and fake narratives by
- 35:48Speaker 1: the fake news, So it's a chance for the president
- 35:51Speaker 1: to get the real facts out there. It's also every
- 35:54Speaker 1: year big opportunity for Democrats to totally embarrass themselves. They
- 35:58Speaker 1: usually do it. It's tradition. Every State of the Union,
- 36:02Speaker 1: they totally embarrass themselves with the public. You know, Nancy
- 36:06Speaker 1: Pelosi ripping up the president's speech right on camera, ridiculous
- 36:10Speaker 1: Democrats refusing to applaud for that poor kid with cancer
- 36:14Speaker 1: dying of cancer. They'll always find some way to embarrass themselves.
- 36:18Speaker 1: This year, they're going to hold their own alternate State
- 36:21Speaker 1: of the Union in the park down the street, and
- 36:24Speaker 1: that'll look like an ugly chaotic mess. So we'll not
- 36:27Speaker 1: go well for Democrats.
- 36:30Speaker 3: You know.
- 36:32Speaker 1: President former President Obama on this podcast was asked about
- 36:37Speaker 1: illegal aliens and he started talking to me. Yeah, there
- 36:39Speaker 1: are no no, no, no, excuse me, not illegal aliens,
- 36:44Speaker 1: outer space aliens, aliens from another planet. He was asked
- 36:47Speaker 1: about that, and he surprised the host. He said, yeah,
- 36:51Speaker 1: there are, there are aliens from other planets. He said, now, no,
- 36:56Speaker 1: they're not kept in Area fifty one. You know, that's
- 36:59Speaker 1: that supposed a hiding place for UFOs and aliens and
- 37:04Speaker 1: not true. It's just a military base. I know, plenty
- 37:06Speaker 1: of people have been stationed there, visited there. It's a
- 37:09Speaker 1: military base like any other. It's in Nevada. So but
- 37:13Speaker 1: he did say, you know, he's president, he's seen all
- 37:16Speaker 1: the inside classified stuff. He did say there are aliens
- 37:20Speaker 1: out there. And then President Trump yesterday when it was
- 37:24Speaker 1: asked about it, said something like, well, he shouldn't have
- 37:27Speaker 1: revealed that. Well, he shouldn't have said that it's classified.
- 37:30Speaker 1: But by saying what he said, Trump sort of confirmed it.
- 37:34Speaker 1: He then later put out a tweet clearing that up.
- 37:36Speaker 1: He said, uh, it's classified. Whether there is or there isn't,
- 37:39Speaker 1: I can't answer either way, to give any sort of
- 37:42Speaker 1: answer is classified. Here there is the president yesterday.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Well, he gave class of right information. He's not supposed
- 37:47Speaker 2: to be doing the real Well, I don't know if
- 37:50Speaker 2: they're real or not.
- 37:51Speaker 5: I can tell you he gave class of out information.
- 37:53Speaker 2: He's not supposed to be doing that.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Well, he made a big PA safe. He took it
- 37:58Speaker 1: out a class of D information. Hey, you're not supposed
- 38:00Speaker 1: to reveal classified information, asked Prince Andrew about that. Now,
- 38:05Speaker 1: if you're watching MSNBC or Morning Joe this morning, some
- 38:08Speaker 1: guy in there is yelling President Trump, who had a
- 38:12Speaker 1: closet a ballroom filled with classified information? Who's he to
- 38:16Speaker 1: talk about? Well, there was no closet full of classified documents.
- 38:20Speaker 1: He didn't have classified documents in the ballroom. You remember
- 38:24Speaker 1: that crazy Jack Smith got a hold of every document
- 38:28Speaker 1: in mar A Lago, went through them over and over again,
- 38:31Speaker 1: and in the end said there were only thirty five
- 38:33Speaker 1: classified documents. If you put them in a folder, it's
- 38:36Speaker 1: one inch of a folder, just one inch. It'd be
- 38:40Speaker 1: one inch of one box. All those other boxes, no
- 38:42Speaker 1: classified documents in them. And you've got to remember, most
- 38:46Speaker 1: classified documents aren't anything important. They overclassify everything and they
- 38:51Speaker 1: just call it classified. So most classified documents aren't that classified,
- 38:55Speaker 1: and if they're two years old, they're pretty much worthless anyway.
- 38:59Speaker 1: So if there are aliens out there from outer space
- 39:05Speaker 1: and they came all this way, wouldn't you think they
- 39:08Speaker 1: could kind of let us know they're here? I mean,
- 39:13Speaker 1: why would you just come all that way and just
- 39:14Speaker 1: go land out in the desert, not see anybody and
- 39:17Speaker 1: go back. What would be the point of that? And
- 39:20Speaker 1: are they some much more advanced, advanced species that we
- 39:25Speaker 1: don't even know? But I mean, you got to think
- 39:27Speaker 1: if they came here right now from outer space, they'd
- 39:31Speaker 1: be pretty impressed, wouldn't they. It'd be pretty impressed. I mean,
- 39:34Speaker 1: if it came in the rod Serling nineteen fifties and
- 39:38Speaker 1: landed in the middle of you know, leave it to
- 39:41Speaker 1: beaver world, you're not too impressed. But if you come now,
- 39:45Speaker 1: look at this iPhone, they've got to be impressed with that.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Look at this Apple watch here, that's pretty impressive. You'll
- 39:51Speaker 1: see if they got anything like that, I think they
- 39:54Speaker 1: would be impressed with the Look at the iPhone. Look
- 39:56Speaker 1: at all the things you can do. Look at this
- 39:59Speaker 1: chipotles downstairs. I can go right in this app, order
- 40:01Speaker 1: everything I want customized, hit the button and then walk
- 40:05Speaker 1: in there and just grab the bag and leaf. Don't
- 40:07Speaker 1: have to talk to anybody, don't have to see it.
- 40:09Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty advanced. Don't you think if these
- 40:11Speaker 1: aliens saw grub hub and all that stuff, door Dash,
- 40:15Speaker 1: they'd say, Wow, what what is some civilization they got
- 40:18Speaker 1: going here? I think they would TikTok. They wouldn't like that.
- 40:22Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 40:23Speaker 1: Hey, California is a crazy place, always was, and it's
- 40:27Speaker 1: getting even crazier with this awful, ridiculous left wing cook
- 40:31Speaker 1: Gavin Newsome running at the taxes are insane, absolutely insane,
- 40:36Speaker 1: And now he's talking about this billionaire, millionaire, zillionaire at
- 40:39Speaker 1: tax where we would seize five percent of your wealth.
- 40:43Speaker 1: You know, if you're in that tax bracket, if you're
- 40:45Speaker 1: a zillionaire, you're already paying like fifty eight percent of
- 40:50Speaker 1: your income. Isn't that immoral? I mean, if you think
- 40:54Speaker 1: about it, why on earth I could see paying five
- 40:56Speaker 1: percent of your income as a tax, maybe ten percent
- 41:01Speaker 1: I could see if you really, really really went create
- 41:05Speaker 1: twenty five percent of your income. That's a lot to
- 41:07Speaker 1: give away twenty five percent of your income. But if
- 41:09Speaker 1: you're in New York at California, can manchine giving away
- 41:12Speaker 1: fifty three percent of your income for this government. This
- 41:18Speaker 1: government gets nothing done. They can't pick up the snow,
- 41:21Speaker 1: the garbage is piled up, poddoles everywhere. You give it
- 41:23Speaker 1: away fifty percent of your income and getting absolutely no
- 41:26Speaker 1: real service out of it. So in California they're going
- 41:29Speaker 1: even crazier. They're trying to get the sixty sixty five
- 41:32Speaker 1: percent of your income, and now they want to take
- 41:34Speaker 1: five percent of your entire net worth, everything you own.
- 41:37Speaker 1: So it's insane. A lot of billionaires are leaving California,
- 41:42Speaker 1: moving across the border to Nevada. Many of them are
- 41:44Speaker 1: going to Texas. Even those the big tech guys are
- 41:47Speaker 1: all leaving. Mark Zuckerberg bought an enormous place in Florida
- 41:51Speaker 1: the other day, looks like he'll be going there. And
- 41:54Speaker 1: the latest is Steven Spielberg announced he's leaving California. Doesn't
- 41:58Speaker 1: want to pay all that tax. He's leaving calm and
- 42:01Speaker 1: where's he going, Manhattan? That's how bad California. Is he's
- 42:06Speaker 1: coming to Manhattan for tax relief. Now he put out
- 42:10Speaker 1: this statement saying, well, this has long been planned and
- 42:13Speaker 1: it's to be closer to his family, his kids, his grandkids. Well,
- 42:18Speaker 1: he's got a big place in the Hamptons. He spends
- 42:20Speaker 1: most of his time anyway out there in the Hamptons.
- 42:23Speaker 1: But Manhattan. He could live in Connecticut, he could live
- 42:27Speaker 1: in Westchester, he could live in New Jersey. He's coming
- 42:32Speaker 1: to Manhattan. And that's how bad it is. Now Wadley
- 42:37Speaker 1: gets here, I assume he's aware of Mom Donnie and
- 42:40Speaker 1: all of that and those crazy things. Now here's the
- 42:43Speaker 1: good news with Mom Donnie with his crazy tax stuff. Now,
- 42:48Speaker 1: you know, it's very funny. Every time you elect a socialist,
- 42:51Speaker 1: it's bad. The economy goes really bad, and it's always
- 42:55Speaker 1: lower in middle income people to get hurt the most.
- 42:58Speaker 1: Whenever you got a socialist, it's just crushing for lower
- 43:02Speaker 1: and middle income they're the ones who get hit the
- 43:04Speaker 1: hardest by a socialist. The socialist stuff fails every single
- 43:10Speaker 1: time it's been tried, maybe fifty thousand times in every
- 43:14Speaker 1: country in the world. It always fails. There's never been
- 43:18Speaker 1: an exception ever, and good for mom Donnie for keeping
- 43:23Speaker 1: the streak going. He took office. How long has it
- 43:26Speaker 1: been in office twelve minutes? He already has failed. He
- 43:29Speaker 1: campaigned down the affordability, lower rent, to reduce your rent,
- 43:35Speaker 1: and the first thing he does is raise everybody's rent.
- 43:37Speaker 1: He's talking about this property tax, a massive increase. You know,
- 43:42Speaker 1: if you raise property tax two percent, that's a lot.
- 43:44Speaker 1: He's been a office twelve minutes. He wants a ten
- 43:47Speaker 1: percent increase in property tax. Now, if you own a property,
- 43:52Speaker 1: that's bad. But if you rent the property, that's bad.
- 43:55Speaker 1: This ten percent property tax will get passed on to you.
- 43:59Speaker 1: The landlord has to pass it out to the tenants.
- 44:01Speaker 1: Your rent will go up. So by doing that, he
- 44:03Speaker 1: raises everybody's rent. Now, the only good news here is
- 44:07Speaker 1: the city council speaker, Julie Mennon is a common sense Democrat,
- 44:12Speaker 1: pretty moderate, and the city council is the only one
- 44:16Speaker 1: that can make the property tax happen. She has the
- 44:18Speaker 1: final say and she said absolutely not. It's off the table,
- 44:23Speaker 1: so it's not going to happen.
- 44:24Speaker 5: Now.
- 44:24Speaker 1: The budget is out of control. It needs to be
- 44:27Speaker 1: cut in half. Spending needs to be cut in half.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Then the taxes could be cut in half as well.
- 44:33Speaker 1: The other thing is Mondanie trying to cut the police force.
- 44:37Speaker 1: He's got this stupid Department of Public Safety, which is
- 44:42Speaker 1: if you've got a problem, a woke left wing social
- 44:45Speaker 1: worker will show up. But your Chief Shell, John Shell,
- 44:49Speaker 1: he great, great police chief, one of the best ever here.
- 44:53Speaker 1: He is on that.
- 44:53Speaker 13: Absolutely not surprised. His whole team is not a big
- 44:58Speaker 13: fan of the OYPD. I truly don't think he knows
- 45:01Speaker 13: anything about public safety. And now you're going to cut
- 45:04Speaker 13: back five thousands. We need about forty thousands and we're
- 45:09Speaker 13: roughly close to thirty four thousand, So cutting back five
- 45:13Speaker 13: thousand and we're probably going to lose another close to
- 45:17Speaker 13: four thousand like last year recipe for disaster.
- 45:21Speaker 1: Yeah, the Chief Shell, he's retired, so he's free to speak.
- 45:24Speaker 1: But he's a nobody smarter on this police stuff, and
- 45:27Speaker 1: he's a great guy. Mam Donnie. With his Instead of
- 45:31Speaker 1: the police, we'll have our department of public safety. Can
- 45:34Speaker 1: you imagine Mamdanni's Department of public safety?
- 45:38Speaker 12: We see at this point the NYPD responsible for responding
- 45:41Speaker 12: to about two hundred thousand mental health calls a year
- 45:45Speaker 12: and part of our vision in establishing a Department of
- 45:49Speaker 12: Community Safety is to start to take that responsibility of
- 45:54Speaker 12: mental health crises and task mental health responders with that work,
- 45:59Speaker 12: and to ensure that police can focus on the work
- 46:02Speaker 12: that they signed up to focus on, which is tackling
- 46:04Speaker 12: violent crime across the city.
- 46:06Speaker 1: Yes, he's like a professor, like a brilliant professor who
- 46:08Speaker 1: gets up there and gives you a lecture about this
- 46:09Speaker 1: and listen, listen, listen. Then you find out now one
- 46:11Speaker 1: thing he says could possibly work in real life. Nothing
- 46:14Speaker 1: he's talking about ever works. Every time he tries anything,
- 46:17Speaker 1: everybody ends up dead. Remember when he came in Soon
- 46:20Speaker 1: as he came into office, he orders the departments and
- 46:22Speaker 1: the police in every department leave the homeless, don't force
- 46:25Speaker 1: them off the street. The colt snap comes. You got
- 46:28Speaker 1: seventeen dead with this, You're gonna have people dead. You
- 46:32Speaker 1: know this whole idea the social workers could respond to
- 46:34Speaker 1: domestic violence. The NYPD has tried that in the past
- 46:39Speaker 1: at three different times, and it ends up with dead
- 46:41Speaker 1: social workers. It's that simple. So mom, Donnie. Besides, nothing
- 46:45Speaker 1: works does get a lot of people killed. So this
- 46:48Speaker 1: is this is not gonna go well. Hey, well the
- 46:54Speaker 1: snow's gone. At least well that wasn't him, that was
- 46:57Speaker 1: the forty degrees. It's pretty much there's no snow after
- 47:00Speaker 1: Manhattan right now. Hey, Viagra, if you'll pardon the subject,
- 47:06Speaker 1: Viagra can help fight off dementia. Now, the people that
- 47:15Speaker 1: study all this stuff, the Alzheimer's people, have been studying
- 47:20Speaker 1: all sorts of drugs trying to see if any of
- 47:22Speaker 1: them have drugs for other things. Just every drug they tried,
- 47:25Speaker 1: like eighty five different drugs that have other applications just
- 47:30Speaker 1: to see if any of them could help with dementia.
- 47:33Speaker 1: And three of them scored very high. Three of them
- 47:36Speaker 1: could do the trick. One is zosta vas. That's the
- 47:40Speaker 1: shingles vaccine, which you should get, by the way. You
- 47:43Speaker 1: don't ever want to get shingles. Get that shingles vaccine.
- 47:46Speaker 1: I got it. And now it turns out that shingles
- 47:48Speaker 1: vaccine more than any other drug, fights dementia. But there
- 47:54Speaker 1: are two runner ups. One is what tells this one loosely,
- 48:01Speaker 1: it's a it treats a muscle weakening disease, but it
- 48:05Speaker 1: turns out that also fights dementia. And the third one
- 48:08Speaker 1: that has a big help fighting dementia. Viagra?
- 48:13Speaker 8: How do you like that?
- 48:15Speaker 1: How do you like that? Look at that Hugh Heffner,
- 48:17Speaker 1: he used to used to h take that stuff like
- 48:20Speaker 1: tic tax I mean, look at him. Mind was sharp
- 48:23Speaker 1: right till the end. Do you know the viagra. There's
- 48:27Speaker 1: a name for that drug. It's called where's it sylvan
- 48:32Speaker 1: siltan syldan pill. It's got siltaniphil that was originally created
- 48:39Speaker 1: to fight hypertension. It was a blood pressure medication. That's
- 48:45Speaker 1: what viagra was created for. That's what it was. It
- 48:48Speaker 1: wasn't that great. It was good, but it wasn't great
- 48:50Speaker 1: that the blood pressure. They came up with much better
- 48:52Speaker 1: blood pressure medications. And then they found out there was
- 48:55Speaker 1: a problem with this viagra. When you took up for
- 48:59Speaker 1: your blood pressure caused erections. That was a side effect.
- 49:06Speaker 1: So they were about to just get rid of it.
- 49:08Speaker 1: And then luckily it's one of the big pharmaceutical companies.
- 49:11Speaker 1: Somebody saw this and said, wait a minute, it causes erections. Yeah,
- 49:15Speaker 1: it's a big problem, caused them all the time. We'll
- 49:17Speaker 1: sell it for that, make it for that. So they
- 49:20Speaker 1: switched the whole thing. It's the same exact drug, they said,
- 49:22Speaker 1: we'll just sell it as a what do you call
- 49:25Speaker 1: that elect a rectile dysfunction medicine if that's the side effect,
- 49:29Speaker 1: and it does it all the time, So they started
- 49:31Speaker 1: selling it as that and made billions and billions and
- 49:35Speaker 1: billions of dollars. So now it turns out it's great
- 49:39Speaker 1: at fighting demni. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next. Eight
- 49:42Speaker 1: hundred three to two one zero seven ten is the number.

- 51:24Speaker 6: dementia connection. All those old guys will stop wondering why
- 51:26Speaker 6: they have directions now. But you know this the state
- 51:32Speaker 6: of the Union. You were mentioning the Republican experts already,
- 51:36Speaker 6: you know, don't go overboard, be sedate, don't you know,
- 51:39Speaker 6: stick to the facts. But that's the problem they always have,
- 51:42Speaker 6: you know, the Democrats, they go, you know, like like mom, daddy,
- 51:46Speaker 6: he goes crazy.
- 51:47Speaker 8: You know that's impossible to do.
- 51:49Speaker 6: But if he gets one tense of what the crazy
- 51:52Speaker 6: thing he is suggesting, he won. The Republicans don't play
- 51:57Speaker 6: that game. So, you know what, it's okay if if
- 51:59Speaker 6: Trump said, as well, we're going to increase the rate

- 52:15Speaker 6: are so so. But you know, you know what I'm saying.
- 52:17Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, the good news is President Trump never listens
- 52:20Speaker 1: to these consultants, so don't worry about it. He'll do
- 52:23Speaker 1: what he wants. Thanks for calling. Let's go to Jerry
- 52:26Speaker 1: and Greenwich. Jerry, how you doing.
- 52:28Speaker 10: I'm doing it well, Mark, Thank you.
- 52:30Speaker 8: Mark.
- 52:31Speaker 10: I used to design it for a company in Japane
- 52:33Speaker 10: and I used to go over there twice a year
- 52:35Speaker 10: for show. And one time they came to the airport
- 52:38Speaker 10: to pick me up with a chivallet and I said,
- 52:41Speaker 10: super Domusan, how come you know you come with a
- 52:44Speaker 10: chivalle at I took in Japan. He said, we love
- 52:47Speaker 10: American cars.
- 52:48Speaker 1: Well, well, there's a big asterisk on that. I mean,
- 52:51Speaker 1: I've been through that too. You know, I've been through
- 52:53Speaker 1: that too. When you go to the airport, they pick
- 52:54Speaker 1: you up like an old Buick from nineteen eighty two.
- 52:56Speaker 1: The reason is Jerry, Jerry to talk when you're talking
- 53:01Speaker 1: over But yeah, they do that in Japan. The reason
- 53:03Speaker 1: is they have small cars there. You know, Japanese cars
- 53:06Speaker 1: are great, but they're small, so our old nineteen eighties, massive,
- 53:10Speaker 1: huge Cadillacs, and they love that. They've never seen anything
- 53:13Speaker 1: that big. So that's what they use for limousines over there.
- 53:16Speaker 1: They love it. Let's go to Linda in Long Island. Linda,
- 53:19Speaker 1: how you doing?
- 53:21Speaker 14: How are you?
- 53:22Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 53:23Speaker 1: That's long. I know it's more Hi, No, no, it's
- 53:25Speaker 1: a little more musical. It's now were you.
- 53:29Speaker 14: I have to practice more practice okay, Hi, more okay.
- 53:34Speaker 14: Now Hillary Clinton you mentioned before, and now they're going
- 53:38Speaker 14: to do something about her. They have the whole the foundation,
- 53:42Speaker 14: Clinton Foundation, they have all the evidence, all the stuff
- 53:46Speaker 14: is going on. She caused all these nice people in
- 53:50Speaker 14: Hay to die. They were stealing the money. And she
- 53:54Speaker 14: also wrote that thing to start this whole thing against Trump,
- 53:59Speaker 14: the whole They never do anything. You think they'll do
- 54:02Speaker 14: it now?
- 54:03Speaker 1: Yeah, you never know. I'm listening. You could be honest.
- 54:06Speaker 1: You put her in jail. Is that right to do
- 54:08Speaker 1: that to the guards? Can you imagine I'm having to
- 54:10Speaker 1: deal with her all day?
- 54:11Speaker 2: Listen?
- 54:11Speaker 6: Oh my god?
- 54:13Speaker 2: Right there you go.
- 54:14Speaker 1: Let's go to doctor Bob in Long Island.
- 54:17Speaker 9: I mark, Mark. You know, you brought up an interesting
- 54:20Speaker 9: topic for me because a few years ago, when I
- 54:22Speaker 9: got involved with golf, I met a friend.
- 54:25Speaker 8: Uh.
- 54:25Speaker 9: At that point, my friend Howie and I found come
- 54:29Speaker 9: to came to find out that he was an advertising
- 54:32Speaker 9: and he had an agency that worked with Pfizer, and
- 54:35Speaker 9: they approached him with this new new thing called the
- 54:38Speaker 9: purple pill, and they were going to advertise it for impotence.
- 54:42Speaker 9: And he said, you can't use that term. It's too harsh,
- 54:45Speaker 9: it's too abrupt. He came up with the term ed
- 54:48Speaker 9: rechtyled dysfunction. He has since retired and got into uh,
- 54:53Speaker 9: interesting things.
- 54:54Speaker 1: But uh, that was viagra purple. I thought it was blue.
- 54:58Speaker 9: Uh it was purple blue.
- 55:00Speaker 2: An it was blue.
- 55:01Speaker 1: They always called that blue pillar. He Some people ask
- 55:04Speaker 1: if Joe Biden used viagrant. No, they in fact, in
- 55:07Speaker 1: his case jumper cables. But anyway, go ahead.
- 55:10Speaker 9: Yeah, No, he helped distribute the the information to the
- 55:15Speaker 9: doctors across the country. Uh, the interness, neurologists, and his
- 55:21Speaker 9: hed really has come a long way, so to speak.
- 55:26Speaker 1: Yeah, now, but what's the Is there something dangerous about viagrant?
- 55:30Speaker 1: Does it cause Uh?
- 55:32Speaker 9: Oh yes, if you have if you have coronary ry disease,
- 55:35Speaker 9: you don't want to take any of the medications that
- 55:37Speaker 9: will divert flow from the heart to other organs, such
- 55:41Speaker 9: as the area we're talking about.
- 55:42Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, thanks for calling great doctor, doctor Bob.
- 55:48Speaker 1: Hey when we come back. Bruce Blakeman the best county
- 55:51Speaker 1: executive in America. He should be governor in November. He
- 55:55Speaker 1: should be elected. He's the best, best possible choice for
- 55:57Speaker 1: governor in New York. We'll talk to him next on
- 55:59Speaker 1: seven wor.
- 56:01Speaker 5: Always a step ahead of the news.
- 56:04Speaker 1: Here's more Mark Simone on seven to ten wo. Well,
- 56:08Speaker 1: thanks are a mess right now, this local mom, Donnie mess.
- 56:11Speaker 1: But help is on the way. The Republicans have a
- 56:13Speaker 1: great candidate for governor. Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive.
- 56:17Speaker 1: County executive is basically a governor, and he's the best
- 56:20Speaker 1: county executive in america'd be a great governor. You go
- 56:23Speaker 1: to Blakeman for New York and you can help, donate
- 56:26Speaker 1: or volunteer Blakemanfronewyork dot com and help out. Bruce Blakeman.
- 56:31Speaker 8: How you doing good, Mark, We were doing very well.
- 56:35Speaker 8: We're getting around the state talking issues with a lot
- 56:38Speaker 8: of people. And basically, Mark, people in New York State
- 56:42Speaker 8: are miserable under Kathy Hogel. They don't like her alliance
- 56:47Speaker 8: with her comrade Mondami, and between the two of them,
- 56:51Speaker 8: they are wrecking the economy of New York City. They're
- 56:54Speaker 8: hurting the economy of New York State, and they're driving
- 56:57Speaker 8: out people and businesses.
- 56:59Speaker 1: Now took over Nasa County and the taxes were horrible.
- 57:02Speaker 1: Their property was this horrible. So what do you do
- 57:04Speaker 1: in a situation like that?
- 57:07Speaker 8: Well, first of all, I cut property taxes by one
- 57:10Speaker 8: hundred and fifty million dollars. My predecessor had a one
- 57:13Speaker 8: hundred and fifty million dollars tax increase, and I canceled
- 57:16Speaker 8: that out and with inflation between six and eight percent
- 57:20Speaker 8: a year. I hired you know, probably six hundred new
- 57:25Speaker 8: law enforcement officers, four hundred police officers, two hundred corrections officers.
- 57:30Speaker 8: And we did it without raising taxes one penny in
- 57:33Speaker 8: four years. So we made not only the community safer,
- 57:37Speaker 8: but we made it more affordable.
- 57:39Speaker 1: Well, this is radical talk cutting taxes, hiring more policemen nowadays, Hey,
- 57:45Speaker 1: what a thought. Yeah, this Kathy Hoko is always pandering,
- 57:49Speaker 1: pandering to the left, pandering of the media, pandering. And
- 57:52Speaker 1: I've heard you do stuff through the years. You just
- 57:54Speaker 1: don't pander. You just whatever's common sense and should be done.
- 57:57Speaker 1: Where do you get the nerve to do that? That
- 57:59Speaker 1: takes nerve?
- 58:01Speaker 7: Well, you know, my.
- 58:01Speaker 8: Parents were both World War Two veterans. My mother joined
- 58:05Speaker 8: the army. My dad said she didn't want to be
- 58:07Speaker 8: left out of a good fight. And they taught us
- 58:11Speaker 8: about public service and about fighting for what's right, fighting
- 58:14Speaker 8: for American values, fighting for common sense ideas. And you know,
- 58:19Speaker 8: I learned from them, and I have a family that's
- 58:22Speaker 8: got a history of public service, So it means a
- 58:25Speaker 8: lot to us. And you know, if we're not willing
- 58:29Speaker 8: to fight for our children, our grandchildren and for the
- 58:31Speaker 8: future of the state. Then that doesn't say a lot
- 58:34Speaker 8: about us. So I'm in this to make sure that
- 58:37Speaker 8: we have a more affordable state, a safer state, and
- 58:41Speaker 8: a state where people can be proud to say that
- 58:43Speaker 8: they're New Yorkers, with a governor who puts New Yorkers first,
- 58:46Speaker 8: doesn't spend billions of dollars on I legal migrants who've
- 58:49Speaker 8: been here for fifteen minutes and haven't earned the thing,
- 58:53Speaker 8: a governor that actually cares about their families and the
- 58:56Speaker 8: future of the state. So I am looking forward to
- 59:00Speaker 8: the day where when I become governor, we can turn
- 59:03Speaker 8: things around, use common sense, and make this a more
- 59:07Speaker 8: affordable and safer state.
- 59:09Speaker 1: Well, you can help Bruce Blakeman's campaign. Go to Blakemanfromnew
- 59:12Speaker 1: York dot com, donate, volunteer, whatever you want to do. Hey,
- 59:16Speaker 1: I'm looking at budgets like the budget of Chicago's like
- 59:18Speaker 1: twelve billion a year, the budget of the Pittsburgh's like
- 59:22Speaker 1: ten billion a year, the budget of New York City's
- 59:24Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty billionaere. How on earth is that possible?
- 59:29Speaker 8: Well, it's more than the whole state of Florida. But
- 59:32Speaker 8: here's an even more shocking number. The budget of the
- 59:35Speaker 8: state of New York is twice as much as Florida,
- 59:38Speaker 8: that it's got a bigger population. Now, it's just unbelievable
- 59:45Speaker 8: that they can't manage the affairs of this state in
- 59:48Speaker 8: a prudent way that delivers quality services at a cost
- 59:52Speaker 8: efficient manner. And that's the problem with Kathy Hochel. She's
- 59:56Speaker 8: got all of these mandates, and she's got this green
- 59:59Speaker 8: energy scam that makes our utility bills go up. We're
- 1:00:03Speaker 8: fifty percent highering our utility bills in Pennsylvania.
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:00:07Speaker 8: Mark, when I become governor, I'm cutting your bills in half.
- 1:00:11Speaker 8: I'm going to cut all the hidden season taxes and
- 1:00:13Speaker 8: your utility bills. That's what drives the cost up. It's
- 1:00:17Speaker 8: not the cost of energy.
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: Yeah, when they say cutting services, you could just cut
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: the waist, the fraud, the bloat. Can't you and not
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: have to cut services?
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: Well?
- 1:00:26Speaker 8: Absolutely. Just think about Medicaid. Our Medicaid bill here in
- 1:00:31Speaker 8: New York is twice as much as Florida. It's twice
- 1:00:36Speaker 8: as much as Texas, all bigger states. We don't have
- 1:00:40Speaker 8: people that are more sick here Into York what we
- 1:00:44Speaker 8: have is a system where it allows for fraud and abuse,
- 1:00:48Speaker 8: just like the kid we saw in Minneapolis. And you know,
- 1:00:53Speaker 8: when I get into be governor, the first thing I'm
- 1:00:55Speaker 8: going to do is uncover all this fraud and abuse
- 1:00:59Speaker 8: and make sure that we cut it out so that
- 1:01:02Speaker 8: we can deliver quality services at an affordable price, not
- 1:01:05Speaker 8: only for the taxpayers, but also for the people who
- 1:01:08Speaker 8: use those services. They get better services for more cost
- 1:01:12Speaker 8: efficient manner because the people that are getting the money
- 1:01:14Speaker 8: now they're getting too much money and they're doing a
- 1:01:17Speaker 8: lousy job.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: Yeah, now you've done all this kind of stuff in
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: Long Island, which is now the safest county in America,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: probably the best run county in America. Hey, by next year,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: we could have so many mom Donnie problems going on.
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: If you're hopefully you will be the governor. As governor,
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: what can you do to control mom Donnie and the
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: crazy stuff he does.
- 1:01:38Speaker 8: Well, First of all, I'm not going to let him
- 1:01:39Speaker 8: increase taxes, that's number one. Number two, I'm not going
- 1:01:44Speaker 8: to let him destroy the economy of New York City,
- 1:01:47Speaker 8: which is the financial capital of the world, which he
- 1:01:50Speaker 8: seems hell bent on doing. And number three, if he
- 1:01:54Speaker 8: doesn't enforce the law, I will. So we're not going
- 1:01:58Speaker 8: to let criminals run our city. We're not going to
- 1:02:01Speaker 8: let the city go into financial ruin. As governor, I
- 1:02:04Speaker 8: will stop him from doing those things.
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: Hey, we allso these crazy district attorneys like Alvin Braig
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: just let criminals out. As governor, don't you have the
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: power over the Don't they actually work for the governor?
- 1:02:17Speaker 8: Yes, So for district attorneys who aren't upholding the law,
- 1:02:22Speaker 8: I will make sure that they do that or they
- 1:02:24Speaker 8: will pay the price. And the price is that a
- 1:02:28Speaker 8: governor can remove a sitting district attorney that's not doing
- 1:02:32Speaker 8: their job. And if you're not doing your job, you'll
- 1:02:36Speaker 8: get a warning. You'll get a timeline within which to
- 1:02:41Speaker 8: make sure that you are doing everything possible to keep
- 1:02:44Speaker 8: our community safe. And if you're not, if you're siding
- 1:02:47Speaker 8: with the criminals like Kathy Hochel does and Zoora Mundami,
- 1:02:51Speaker 8: then there will be consequences to be paid by the
- 1:02:54Speaker 8: way markout. How about him not funding the five thousand
- 1:02:59Speaker 8: police officer or new hires that we desperately need in
- 1:03:02Speaker 8: New York. I mean, he's defunding the police. He's so
- 1:03:05Speaker 8: transparent in what he's doing. I just wish people would
- 1:03:09Speaker 8: open their eyes and see that he's somebody that does
- 1:03:12Speaker 8: not like police officers. He wants to use social workers
- 1:03:16Speaker 8: to enforce the lot and we all know that that'll
- 1:03:19Speaker 8: never work.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: Yeah, and people say, what can we do? But well,
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: elect Bruce Blakeman governor. That will help a lot. Hey,
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: Kathi Hokle, I remember last time around, she said no
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: congestion pricing. Then the day after the election she puts
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: in congestion pricing. So this time she said no tax increase,
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: but can't we be pretty sure she'll increase taxes the
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: day after the election.
- 1:03:39Speaker 8: Of course, Mark, you know they got a secret deal.
- 1:03:42Speaker 8: First she endorses Mandami, then Mundami endorses her, and they
- 1:03:47Speaker 8: got a wink in a nod that after election day,
- 1:03:50Speaker 8: taxes are going to go up. And the taxes are
- 1:03:52Speaker 8: going to go up not just for wealthy people but
- 1:03:55Speaker 8: for middle class people. And remember this, every time a
- 1:03:58Speaker 8: millionaire moves out of New York State, who picks up
- 1:04:02Speaker 8: the slack? It's the middle class. Somebody's got to pay
- 1:04:05Speaker 8: for all these programs that they have, many of them,
- 1:04:08Speaker 8: which you're totally mismanaged. So as governor. I will bring
- 1:04:13Speaker 8: sanity back to government. We'll bring economic to development, job prosperity,
- 1:04:18Speaker 8: make it more affordable by cutting energy costs and making
- 1:04:21Speaker 8: life happier for New Yorkers because right now they're miserable
- 1:04:25Speaker 8: under Kathy hoche and zaraon Mundaani.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: Well, Bruce Blakeman is the best county executive in America
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: and that's basically being in the governor. He would be
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: a great governor. What can people do that are listening
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: if they want to help you.
- 1:04:37Speaker 8: Well, first of all, everybody's got a cell phone. You
- 1:04:40Speaker 8: got to text people, you got to call them, you
- 1:04:43Speaker 8: got to email them, you got to make posts on
- 1:04:45Speaker 8: social media. We need to get a groundswell of support
- 1:04:50Speaker 8: to win, and we are doing that. We're gaining a
- 1:04:52Speaker 8: lot of momentum. Go to Blakemanfronewyork dot com. Hey, listen,
- 1:04:56Speaker 8: if you can't make a big contribution, give twenty five,
- 1:04:59Speaker 8: thirty bucks, forty bucks, whatever you can afford. It all helps,
- 1:05:03Speaker 8: it all adds up, and we need the money to
- 1:05:06Speaker 8: be able to counter Kathy Hochel, who's getting tremendous contributions
- 1:05:11Speaker 8: from the green energy scam people and all the other
- 1:05:14Speaker 8: agencies and not for profits and companies that are making
- 1:05:19Speaker 8: billions of dollars off us. Think about all the money
- 1:05:22Speaker 8: that's been been spent on illegal migrants, billions of dollars
- 1:05:25Speaker 8: that could have been spent to cut taxes. It could
- 1:05:27Speaker 8: have been spent on hospitals, on schools, on educating our children,
- 1:05:32Speaker 8: on our infrastructure. Just giving money away to people who've
- 1:05:35Speaker 8: been here for fifteen minutes. That's not putting New Yorkers first.
- 1:05:39Speaker 8: That's doing something that really is a fiduciary breach on
- 1:05:43Speaker 8: her part. She has a responsibility in New Yorkers to
- 1:05:46Speaker 8: spend them. To spend our hard earned tax dollars on
- 1:05:49Speaker 8: people who've been here for fifteen minutes and haven't earned
- 1:05:51Speaker 8: a thing. That is a total disgrace.
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: Well, Bruce Blakeman, we hope you win. You'd be a
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: great governor. Everybody. Go to Blakemanfromnewyork dot com. Blakeman from
