  Speaker 1: This is seven Tar where the Mark Simon Show starts.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Now, well it's Friday. It's been a miserable week. It's
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: this weather, it's the cold. It just gets to you
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: after a while. Although I will say one thing. They
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: have picked up the garbage all over midtown Manhattan. The
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: garbage is gone. Half the snow is still there. There's
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: couple of snowbanks, real high ones, but most of them
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: going away. Now Tomorrow tonight there could be a little
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: snow overnight, nothing serious. Should be an inch or less
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: tomorrow and tomorrow night the coldest day of the year
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: in some of the suburbs. It'll be like the minus
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: twenty real feel. But it's going to be very, very
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: very cold this weekend. This is that global warming that
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: you heard about, those glaciers melting, all that kind of stuff.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: So we got a lot to get to. We'll get
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to the latest down, the Guthrie kidnapping. We'll get to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the shutdown. We'll get to the super Bowl. We'll get
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to a crazy mom, Donnie. We'll get to a Kamala
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: making a fool out of herself. We'll get we'll get
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to Johnny Carson coming up. If you think of a
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: plastic surgery. We'll get to that coming up. A couple
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: of things developing a New Jersey. There's a special election
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: eleventh Congressional district. The results not definite yet, they're still counting.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It's New Jersey, and there is of course a kookie,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: left wing, woke candidate who looks like they have a
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: very very slight lead.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Hey.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Also, this was just announced they have arrested the leader
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: of the ben Ghazi attack. You remember the ben Ghazi
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: attack from years ago. Remember Hillary Clinton's secretary of State,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: her disastrous testimony about why she wasn't able to prevent
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: them ben Ghazi attack, why she left those people in
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: harm's way. Well, found the leader of the Benghazi attack.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: They've just announced the arrest moments ago the Savannah Guthrie
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: kidnapping her mother. They're now convinced it with multiple people
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: they think would have to be to carry this out.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: They are no evidence, solid evidence, but they believe it
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: was targeted, that it wasn't just random that they went
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: after Savannah got to his mother for whatever reason, maybe
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: thinking there'd be a lot of money there. But now
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: here's Paul Morrow, the great expert on all this stuff.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: History shows usually it's more than one because you need
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: other people not for the extraction, you're not for the
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: horrible abduction, but to handle the logistics of secreting her someplace. Again,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: historic examples show you need more than one person. Somebody
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: has to watch her, somebody goes gets food, and you
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: have to communicate at some point. Are they going to
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: want to communicate? Well, and I got to pick up
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: your phone and communicate right from where you are. I'm
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: sure they have all kinds of things they're trying to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: work through.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some pretty good points. Now, supposedly they have what
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: they believe is the real ransom demand. There were phony
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: ones coming in left and right. In fact, one of
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the phony ransom demands, they were able to trace the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: guy down. It's Derek Kalalela. They have arrested him. It
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: was an imposter ransom note and he was demanding bitcoin.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: They have arrested the guy. His charges will be two
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: counts of transmitting communication containing a demand or request for
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: ransom in exchange for the relief of a kidnapped person.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: So the guy will spend a lot of time in jail.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Apparently he'd been following the case on TV. He thought
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: he could make some money and sent the text messages.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Somehow got a hold of the Guthrie's contact information. You know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: for a lot of people, if you go online, you
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: can find their address, you can find their phone numbers.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So just transmit. Even if it's a fake ransom note,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: very serious crime. This guy will do some serious jail
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: time now according to the police, well actually it's actually tmzquot.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: The law enforcement has not officially released this, but according
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to the TMZ and their sources, the demands in the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: ransom note have deadlines and they missed one deadline already,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and the ransom note said there be consequences. Then there's
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a second demand for Monday, and if that's not meant,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: it said serious consequences. So they're demanding millions and millions
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of dollars in bitcoin in crypto. I don't know if
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: it's bitcoin. But the family now putting out videos. They
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: haven't spoken to anybody. They're just getting these demands. And
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: here's I think this is the brother.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Whoever is out there holding our mother. We want to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: hear from you. We haven't heard anything directly. We need
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you to reach out and we need a way to
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: communicate with you so we can move forward.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I understand, you can't just transfer the money
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: into crypto without knowing something.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: We need you to reach out and we need a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: way to communicate with you so we can move forward.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: The family needs proof of life. They need to know
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: that this person is still alive, because there are people
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: who will commit fraud and simply ask for money. You
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: transfer money and that person disappears.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so police believe it's targeted. Also, they're actually this
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: location is very close, like fifteen miles for the Mexican border.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: They're worried that they went over the border. That's another possibility. Now,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you know, she had those security camps, she had those
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: ring cameras, that stuff. But but the big problem is
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: she didn't pay for the subscription. Apparently you have to
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: have a subscription for all the video to be stored
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: on a server. So the video is not saved. Because
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of no subscription, they don't have any video. Otherwise they
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: would have had video, they would have been able to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: see something. The doorbell camera disconnected around one am. It's
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: possible the kidnappers knew how to disconnect it. To twelve am.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: The software detected a person on the camera, but again
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: no video. She didn't maintain a subscription. Terrible. So we'll
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: see this is not going to end. I just don't
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: think this is going to end well. So now they're
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: working on a deal for the shutdown. Looks like Chuck
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Schumer is trying to make a deal now. Apparently Trump
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and Schumer are talking all the time. They're negotiating and
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: negotiating and negotiating. And one thing Trump asked for, they
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: want the federal funding for Penn Station, the Gateway thing,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: all the federal funding for our big infrastructure plans here.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: And Trump asked, since he's going to spend the billions
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: to redo Penn Station, that he would like it renamed
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Trump Station. Same thing with the Dulles Airport, that's the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: major airport outside of Washington d C. Reagan National is
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: like the LaGuardia of Washington d C. Dulles is like
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the Kennedy Airport of Washington, d C. He'd like it
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: renamed Trump International Airport. And I think it's a good idea.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It should be Trumps Station instead of Penn Station. I
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: think it would be perfect. It would make every liberal,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: every Democrat sick every time they had to ticket train.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: It's going to be right, on the train ticket. Every
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: time they look at anything to get the train schedule,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: it'll say Trump Station, just to annoy them forever. I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: think we should do it. Now here's the problem. You
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: know that as soon as Democrats get back in power,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: they'll Yankees name right off all of this stuff. But
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: you know, we do name things after presidents. Kennedy Airport
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: obviously after the assassination, Reagan Airport, just as a tribute
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to a guy who'd done a great job. Well, Trump
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: has done a great job, so he should have an airport.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: He really should. And I remember he's got three more
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: years once he gets done with the ballroom, and then
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: once he gets done rebuilding the Kennedy Center. Don't be
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: surprised if in the final year he decides to build
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: himself a monument. You got Washington Monument, You got the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial. Yeah, yeah, that'll be judge again.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: There's so many liberals driving around Washington, DC, so many
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Democrats for them to have to pass by the Trump
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Memorial every day on the way to work, it'd be
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: great just to make them miserable. But Schumer, now this
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: idea that Trump want the train station named afterrom the airport.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Schumer leaked that out to the press. That's why we
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: all know about the Schumer leaked it out, and a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: in an attempt to stop it, and b to take
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: credit Schumer leaking it out and then saying he turned down.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: He said no, Schumer trying to look like a hero
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: since he's an old dinosaur that everybody hates. Now, so
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the fact that he leaked it out, that's not going
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to sit well with President Trump. But again, they're going
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to negotiate something. They'll probably kick the can down the road,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: do another extension before a shutdown, so I figure that'll
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: happen over the weekend. Hey, Kamala Harris embarrassing the hell
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: out of herself. Apparently she really is thinking a running again.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine that? And set up a website all
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: kinds of stuff. But but you know, this old Kamala Harris,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: who's a little out of touch, hasn't worked in a while,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and even if she was a vice president, didn't do
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: any work. Trying to sound like she's gen Z or
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: something when she's actually an old fossil too. So she
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: put all this gen Z lingo into this new video
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: she put out with her new Twitter account, it's headquarters
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: sixty seven because sixty seven it's what all the kids use.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: It's the gen Z slang sixty seven. I don't think
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: they told her, Yeah, that's over with. That was like
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: eight months ago. They've done with that. So even on CNN,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: they're even on CNN they're ridiculing Kamala Harris saying the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: whole video was cringe worthy.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: By the way, the handle they're using you can see there,
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: we're zooming in on it at headquarters underscore sixty seven
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: six seven. As the kids used to say, Well, you know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: used to say a lot of things, and I think
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: they also used to say, that's probably cringe.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So see, Kamala believes that she's like the young hip,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: she's the AOC and not realizing she's the old, old old.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: She looks like Diane Feinstein. Everybody's an old California senator.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: So figure she's got no shot at anything. In two
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: thousand and eight, President Trump a big thing yesday, lowering
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: drug prices all over the place. This is something Democrats
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: always claimed with the biggest, most important issue, But now
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: that he's doing it, they go totally silent. They don't
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: say a word.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: Dozens of the most commonly used prescription drugs will be
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: available at dramatic discounts for all consumers throughout a new website.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: It's called trump rx dot com.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even ozempic. You know, ozempic's very expensive. You want
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: to get on that ozempic. It's like a one thousand
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: dollars a week or something. But that'll come down.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Novo Nordesk will be slashing the price, as an example
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: of ozempic, from more than one thousand dollars to one
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: hundred and ninety nine dollars.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, I'll save you a lot of money. Zempic again,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: it's like a thousand dollars a shot. The insurance covers it,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: but not all the time. You hear that cough I got.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I had it for a couple of weeks, So for
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a couple of days I took mucinex and one of
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: the side effects it makes you a little nauseous. Well,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: you lose your appetite. So you take it for a
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: couple of days, you got no appetite. I actually lost weight.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: So forget the ozampic thousand dollars a shot. You get
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: some musin X for twelve Bucks, and it has the
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: same effect. In fact, there's a lot of medicine. Look
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: on any medicine that sees may cause nausea, stomach ups,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: just take a low dose of it for a while.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: That might be much cheaper. It's like free ozempic Hey.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl this Sunday, Yeah, that's gonna be great. Everybody.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Some people happy, some people very upset about Bad Bunny.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I don't. To me, it doesn't make any difference. Who
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: pays that much attention to the halftime show Bad Bunny? Well,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: here he is.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: Everyone who's stopped me on the street or wherever I go,
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: they only wish like good themes on me. And I
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: know that there will is going to be happy at
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: these Sunday and they're gonna have fun, and they're gonna
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: dance and they're gonna have a good time.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, See he's a young guy. He's a little confused.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Everyone who's stopped me on the street, everyone comes up
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: to me they love the show. Well, I get stopped
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: a lot on the street or wherever, and everybody loves
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the show. But see, I realize that's the only people
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: that come up to you. The people that don't like
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: this show. Or can't stand you. They don't come up
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: to you. So you got to remember. People that hate
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: you just look at you and they keep walking. The
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: only people will come up to you are the fans.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: So don't go. It's not a good barometer, it's not
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: a good test. Heye, today we have a new cardinal.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: This is his first day. His name is Ronald Hicks,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Cardinal Dolan, who we love. Maybe the greatest cardinal of
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: our lifetime, I would say so, and a guy I
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: know well, and just an inspirational, magical figure. You know,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: he's going to stay in New York. Cardinal Dolleey said
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: he will remain in New York, so he'll be around
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: doing things. But this Ronald Hicks takes over at Saint Patrick's,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and I'm not that crazy about him. He's a like
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the Pope. He's like a left wing, woke cardinal. Not
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: what we're looking for here. He is.
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: You're going to know that I will reference the number
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: of time Pope Leo the fourteenth. I will strive always
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: to be obedient and respectful to him and also collaborate
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: with his vision.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: You'll also notice that Cardinal Dolan has this big, booming,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: happy inspiring, joyful voice and this guy saying, this guy
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: doesn't sound the same.
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: What I'd like to do as the archbishop here is
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: understand that in politics, in government, they're going to be
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: things that we disagree on. There are, but I'd also
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: like to make sure we pay attention to what are
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: those things that we can work together for the common good?
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, again, doesn't sound great. Way too. We're gonna miss,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: really miss Cardinal Dolan's his birthday today too, Cardinal Dolan.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: But as I say, he'll be around New York, so
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: he's not leaving. Hey, we got a lot to get to.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: We'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three two one
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten
