  Speaker 2: Alex Credie, there's a shutdown battle going on right now,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the New Millennium movie, and lots to talk about Luigi Mangione.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: All right, the good news is the big storm on
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Sunday looks like it's gonna miss us, that big bomb
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: cyclone storm that was heading right for us. In some
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: of the weather models, it looks like as it stands
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: now and we're we're within the three days, which is
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: usually when the weather's very accurate, looks like it will
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: miss us. If you're in the end of Long Island,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: the Hampton's Montuck, it's gonna hit you. You could get
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: three inches of snow and ferocious winds. And if you're
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: way up the Connecticut shore line you might get it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: But Manhattan, Westchester, New Jersey, Connecticut, NASA most like you're
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: safe from any series. There should be no accumulation on Sunday.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: That's the current forecast. So hey, Don Lemon has been arrested.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Now I'm looking at It's always good to go to Mediaite.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Mediaite is a left wing, very biased, very slanted, left
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: wing websites. Very good website, but very very slanted. And
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: let me look at all the different headlines. It's got
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: a political world rocked by stunning arrest of Don Lemon, terrifying.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: CNN's Brian Selter says, Morning Joe warns Don Lemon's arrest
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: is what happens in authoritarian countries. Now, let's put out
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: just make clear the actual decision to indict Don Lemon
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: was not made by Donald Trump. It was not bade
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: by the Attorney General, it was not made by the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Deputy Attorney General, it was not made by anybody in
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the Just This department. They decided they would present it
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: to a grand jury, and the grand juror is voted
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to indict Don Lemon. Not the Trump people. A grand
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: jury looking at the evidence voted to indict Don Lemon.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: He's charged with civil rights violations. And there's laws on
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the books that you could argue, well, wait a minute's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the church. The doors are open. Anybody can walk into
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: that church. Yeah, that's true, but there's laws on the books.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: The law is very specific. If you go into the church,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you can't do anything to interrupt the service. You can't
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: do anything to interrupt the service or anybody in there.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: You can't do anything to intimidate them in any way.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: And Don Lemon was part of this mob that went
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: in there trying to intimidate the hell out of everybody
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: in there, the worshippers, and to stop the service. Can't
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it's a total violation of the law. There's a couple
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of laws there that he's going to be charged with,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and one of them, well one of them is a
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: civil rights violation, and one of them is what they
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: used to call the klu Klux Klan Act, because that's
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: what the clan did way back when they would go
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: into black churches as a mob and yell and scream
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and menace everybody and stop the service. Well that's what
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: happened here in Minneapolis. So when the Klan did that
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: all the time, that's when they passed this other law
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to make that totally illegal. So Don Lemon will face
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a couple of charges. He was arrested yesterday in Los Angeles.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: He was there to cover the Grammys and that's when
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: they arrested him. Now I know Don Lemon when he
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: says cover the Grammys. That means go to the parties.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: He was at all the parties. Actually, Don Lemon is
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: very close to Clive Davis, very very close friend to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Clive Davis's and Clive Davis is like the King of
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the Grammys. His Grammy party is the most important event
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of the whole week. So that's where Don Lemon was,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and they arrested him. I heard he spent a couple
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: of hours in jail on Los Angeles. He's hired Abby Lowell,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: who's the big number one top Washington d C. Any
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: kind of problem with the government, that's the guy you hire.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: That's who Hunter Biden hired, Abby Lowell. It's a guy
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Abby Lowell representing him. So we'll see what happens next.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Now Lemon is in his statements already is claiming that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: he was acting as a journalist. Now the problem is,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: that's a hard case to make in court acting as
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: a journalist. He's not actually employed anywhere as a journalist.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: He has no job as a journalist. He has been.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I guess what he did in the past. He's more
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: of an anchor talk show host. But I guess you
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: could call him a journalist in the past.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: But he's not.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: A journalist. He's an unemployed guy for a couple of years.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: He has a Twitter thing, a Twitter feed. Guess I
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: think he has a sub stack. He maybe does a podcast,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: but I don't know that that. I don't know that
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: qualifies you legally as a journalist. So we'll see what happens.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Also going into court today Luigi Mangione Friday today. It
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: was an attempted break out of prison yesterday, probably the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: worst one ever attempted. A guy showed up at the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: correctional center here in Manhattan claiming that he was an
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: FBI agent and he was there to pick up Luigi
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Mangion and transfer him. They asked to see some identification.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: The guy took out his driver's license, and I think
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: they explained him now, we meant FBI credentials, not a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: driver's license. And then they frisked him and found a
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: wasn't a knife. It was a pizza cutter, you know
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that round, the little round thing you cut the He
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: had a pizza cutter on him. Apparently he did work
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: at a pizza place. I guess he stole the cutter.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he was planning to do with that,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: but he's in jail now too, So the breakout attempt
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: didn't go well. Manjealone's going to argue all kinds of
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: things in court today. He's got a whole bunch of lawyers.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: They'll argue that the arrest was illegal, unlawful. And then
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: when they arrested him in Pennsylvania, the McDonald's, some of
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the evidence they took, they took illegal. I don't know
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: how he's gonna argue this even if you've got evidence
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: tossed out. The surveillance cameras on the street here in Manhattan.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: One thing about Manhattan. Not other places don't have this,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: but in Manhattan, every inch of the street has got
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a surveillance camera on it, so you can see the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: video of Mangione shooting the guy. So all this other stuff,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think it'll come into play.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Tom Holman is still in Minnesota trying to calm things down,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: doing a pretty good job of it. But you got
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: these crazy nut job agitators, Alex pretty who as soon
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: as it happened, you saw all these people all of
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the airwaves making these speeches about what a gentle soul
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: he was, what a wonderful, tender human being he was.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Now that turned out to be a ridiculous thing to claim,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: because we saw the videos of him two weeks ago,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: totally out of control, raging like an absolute lunatic in
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the street, yelling and screaming, and the ICE agents were
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: making an arrest. He got right in their face. And
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: then I can't play the audio for you because everything's
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the F word, F you, you mother efforts, and he's
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: screaming right, he's spitting on them, screaming on assault me,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: go ahead, assault me, you mother effort, just out of
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: control in a rage. And then they get in their car.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: They were pretty good at just tolerating it. The Ice
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: agents didn't do anything. They got in their car, they're
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: going to driveway. He starts violently kicking the car really hard,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and one point kicked it so hard he not only
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: smashed the tail light, he took the entire tail light
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: section out of the car, leaving a hole in the
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: back of the car. Are so then the agent stopped,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: tackled him to the ground, and I don't know why.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I guess they were just being very tolerant, trying to
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: de escalate it. I don't know why, but the agents
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: let him go They should have arrested him right then
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: and there. He committed a number of crimes right there.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: He's a criminal. They should have arrested him. And had
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: he been arrested put in jail, maybe he'd still be
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: alive today, maybe wouldn't have been around to try it again.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: So he's just I mean, what kind of lunatic. I mean,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: you got to be a raging lunatic to do that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: If you were on the street and you saw a
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: bunch of police cars surrounding somebody and it looked like
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: they would arrest that guy, would you have the nerve
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: to go interfere with that?
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, it takes a lot of guts.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Let's say you wanted to go maybe maybe if you
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: had a lot of nerve, you'd go start yelling at them. Hey,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: what the hell you didn't start yelling and taunting them
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and yelling at that takes a hell of a lot
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of nerve. But how much nerve does it take to
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: get right in their spit on the cops, pushed them,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: call them every name in the world, and then start
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: damaging their vehicle, kicking the tail light out of their vehicle.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: That takes a.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Hell of a lot of nerve. If you know what,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: that's not even nerve. You got to be on something.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: He must have been on some kind of drugs to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: be that out of control, to be that deranged, just
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: absolutely insane.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: This guy. So hey.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: The other big news, Kevin Walsh is the new FED chairman.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump had it down to a bunch of choices.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: It was either going to be Treasury Secretary Scott Bessont,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: but Bessant didn't want to move over there. Bessett wanted
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: to stay in the White House. And I think that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: a good idea. I think Bessant is the most valuable
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: of all these guys. Keep him in the White House,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: keep his treasure secretary to me, much more important job
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: than FED chairman. Then there was Kevin Hassett, who's another great,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: great guy, brilliant, gut perfect guy for FED chairman. But
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: he's in the White House, is Economic Council, and he's
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: very very very very valuable there. So they didn't want
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to give him up. They wanted to keep him there.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: The other choice was Kevin Walsh. Kevin Hassett, Kevin Walsh,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and they always said it would come down to the
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: two Kevins, and so it looked like it would be
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Kevin Walsh, although at the last minute a new candidate emerged,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Rick Ryder suddenly was in the mix. Rick Ryder, who
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: nobody liked, and they looked at his donation history. Donated
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: to Pete Boota j Edge. He donated to Kamala Harris.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: This is like another Jerome Powell. He wasn't even really
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: in the mix. He was being pushed by the Wall
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Street guys, Black Rock, Larry Fink. They were the ones
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: pushing him, so it was more of just a courtesy
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: interview and all of that.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Then there was a.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Last minute candidate the last two days, Judy Shelton, who's
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: a great woman. I'll be perfect for that. Although it
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: ended up being Kevin Walsh. He'll be the new FED chairman.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Wall Street not that thrilled about it. The reaction so
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: far as the market is down over it. Some people
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: think he's too hawkish. When you're a FED chairman, hawkish
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: means you're you know, you're trying to increase rates, you're
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: trying to be too aggressive. But yeah, they spent a
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: lot of time, a lot of time talking to him.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Scott Bessont pushed him. This was Scott Bessont's final choice,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and he pushed it, which means he'll be responsible for
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: this if it goes bad. And Walsh he's a nice guy,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and he's a very very plugged in, well connected guy.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Everybody in his family father close to the president, his
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: father in law close to the president, his grandfather in
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: law very close to the president. So and he was
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: working like crazy to get the job, not just campaigning hard,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: but everybody says behind the scenes, trying to sabotage the
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: other candidates, bad bouthing him to everybody. So he's the
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: new FED chairman. It should be announced later today. Expect
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the President to make the announcement later. The Milania movie
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: had its big premiere last night in Washington, d C.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Fifteen hundred people Kennedy Center. Good Monica Crowley will be
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: with us later. Imagine she was there. She'll tell us
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: about it. Hey, President Trump somehow has gotten Putin to
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: agree to a cease fire in the Ukraine for one week,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: just a one week ceasefire. He called him and somehow
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: got this done.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: It really they said they've never experienced cold like that.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: And I personally asked President Putin not the fire into
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Kiev in the various towns for a week, and he
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: agreed to do that, and I have to tell you
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: it was very nice. A lot of people said, don't
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: waste the cold, you're not going to get that, and
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: he did it, and we're very happy that they did it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: All right, it's not much, but it's something.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: You know, hundreds of people get killed a week there,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: so they'll save a few hundred lives. Hey, they had
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: a cabinet meeting yesterday and President Trump it was different
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: this time. You know, the last few times they had
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: a cabinet meeting, the cameras are allowed in and the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: press is allowed in there, and then he lets every
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: one of the cabinet members speak. But he didn't do
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: that this time. He didn't let them speak. And he
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: actually said, we're not going to go through all that
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: again because the last time we did it it lasted
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: three hours and I closed my eyes a few times
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and they started making fun of me, thinking I was asleep,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: and he said, look, it got pretty boring. The room
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: started to laugh. He said, I just closed them because
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I wanted to get the hell out of there. He says,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't sleep, I was just getting bored, which I
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: believe that's what. I don't know why he wants this job.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: You know, this guy used to for the most fun.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: He was in New York. It's a glamorous fun existence.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: It was parties and celebrities. You'd be going to his office,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: every movie stars coming in, comedian It'd be nothing but fun.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Now he's sitting in Washington, the president of Lithuania. Who
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: wants to talk to that guy? Cabinet meeting with all
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: these secretaries of this and that. Pretty boring stuff, but
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: it's what he wants to do now. In the cabinet meeting,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: he did not call on Christy Nome, and they didn't
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: take questions from the press, and all the talking they
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: did not bring up Minnesota in any way. They talked
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: mostly about the economy and a good idea, you know,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Minnesota is The two shootings were horrible. In the case
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: of Pretty I still don't see why the shots were fired.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: In the case of Renee Good, you can see why
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the shots were fired. She did hit the guy with
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: his car with her car, and the first shot went
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: right through the front windshield, which means he was in
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: front of the car as it came at him, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: it did hit him. You can see that nativity is
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: but the pretty one you can't see that. I mean, they
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: should have just arrested the guy. He would have been
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: in jail for a very long time for that incident
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: and for the one two weeks ago we did damaged
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the police car. Gallain Maxwell claims now that twenty five
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: of the Jeffrey Epstein accomplices, victims whatever you want to
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: call him, had made secret settlements with the the billionaire
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: of people that were there. So what that would mean
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: was that's why they were never in the mix, never
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: came forward, never testified. So it's an interesting point that
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: there'd be a lot of victims out there that never
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: came forward, never came close to talking to anybody in
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: law enforcement. They are going through the Epstein files. What's
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: taken so long, Well, you've got to go through and
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: read every page to make sure that there's no victim names,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: you got to redact all that. You've got to read
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: five point two million pages. You know how long that
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: would take. Justice Department says they've assigned now four hundred
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: lawyers to this and they're working around the clock trying
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: to review all five point two million pages. Now, when
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: you get these pages, you're going to be very disappointed.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've talked to a lot of people saw
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: most of this is coming from the Justice Department, the
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: US Attorney's Office Southern District. They're the ones that ran
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: the investigation. And if you talk to guys to put
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: all this together, they'll say, what's in these files. It's
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: basically just interviewed transcripts of interviews with witnesses. Some of
• 16:08

• 17:44

• 17:47
  Speaker 5: sets sort of like that. You know, he played like

  Speaker 2: w p I XFM, which was a very hot, cutting
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: edge FM station back then, and we played all these
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: new artists nobody heard before, like the Police and that
• 18:09

• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Stuff, all that hips stuff.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Mike, good call, thanks for colling. Let's
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: go to uh Marco in the Bronx Marco, How you doing?
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: Hey, Mark, how you doing, mister New York?
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: I'll call you okay?
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: Uh listen, these paid agitators, yes, just cum exposed. How
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: come it's not really nobody realizing maybe they get a
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: big five thousand dollars bonus if they're up in the
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: face of these these poor ice people. How could nobody
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: see that there's so many of them?
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: People see that it's under investigation. Hey, we revealed the name.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I was it Monday or Tuesday of the guy that's
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: the big funder of this, Neville Roy Singham. And I
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: noticed he's getting a lot of coverage today. It's starting
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: to come out about this guy and he is under investigation.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: He's like a worse than George Soros kind of guy
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: because he's partners with the Chinese Communist government. The only
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: problem is he lives in Singapore, so it's very hard
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: to touch this guy. But what part of the Bronx
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: are you in Frog's neck? I'm a very nice part
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: of the Bronx. Excellent. You got that beautiful former Trump
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: golf course there, right, But now it's.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Something Oh what a shame they took that away?
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, thanks for calling. Let's go
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: to uh Claire in New Jersey. Claire, how you doing?
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: Oh hi, Mark. I'd like to say, by the way,
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: I'm a former nurse for a long time and one
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: of the nurses. The head of the protest stations there
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: is saying they don't want ice now in the hospitals.
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: They're protesting in allegiance to the r N that got
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: shot in Minneapolis. But I'd like to make a comment
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: as a former nurse, why wasn't there any protests and Riley,
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: who was a nursing student raped and murdered, nothing was said.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the double standard Democrats are famous for. You know,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: remember if pretty had been killed by an illegal alien,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: you never would have heard it on the news. It
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: would have gotten there would have been no coverage of it.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: But you're a nurse, did you did you ever smash
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: a police car, kick out the taillight?
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: You know what?
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: There was such respect, not only that I have family
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: in Minneapolis. It was a beautiful city at one time. Beautiful.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: They've been there for the last forty years. It's a
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: disgrace now by a good point.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: You remember Minneapolis was Mary Tyler Moore, Roda Phyllis. Now
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: look what happened to it? And they what is wrong
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: with these people in Minnesota? Look who they elect to office,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Al Franken, Tim Waltz, people like that. Let's go to
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Chris in Manhattan. Chris, how are you doing?
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Boy? More come good things?
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: Listen?
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Minnesota, if we.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Know that ilhan Omar really married her brother, just that alone?
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: Is that not immigration fraud?
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: That's why that's why they're investigating her immigration status.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: And but we all kind of know about it already.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: You know you didn't hear me.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: So it's currently under investigation as we speak. You never know,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: they may end up deporting her. Let's go to Jim
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: and Nutley. Jim, how you doing.
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: I'm so sick and tired about these Epstein file uh
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: people coming out? What what's the big deal about this?
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: I mean, as far as as far as all these victims,
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: those girls knew just what they were getting into.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: To me, well, a lot of them were underage and
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: some of them were not. A lot.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: There were women of all ages with Epstein, but some
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: of them were underage and they didn't always know what
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: they were getting into.
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: I heard that some of those girls were recruiting other
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: girls to go listen.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: There were all types of women. They're good ones, bad ones,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: evil ones, nice ones. They didn't all choose that, some
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: of them. But the original point of the Epstein files
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: was to get Donald Trump, and fortunately it turned out
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump was the one guy that knew to stay
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: away from Epstein and got away from him. So it's
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: not gonna in any way damage Trump. It's going to
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: really kill the Clintons. It's no coincidence that they're refusing
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: to testify before Congress, refusing and defying a subpoena to
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: peer before Congress to talk about Epstein. So they really
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: really do not want to talk about this guy. So Hey,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: when we come back, Monica Crowley will be with us.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: She is the chief of Protocol for the United States
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Special Ambassador. We got lots to talk to her about
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: she's right there in the middle of everything in DC.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to her next on seven to ten. WR
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Let's get back.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: To the Mark Simone show on wor.

• 23:12
  Speaker 9: Still I'm still Monica Crowley.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Don't you miss the good old days just doing radio
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: and TV and having fun?
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: And well, No, first of all, I'm incredibly blessed to
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: serve this president and the American people in the country
• 23:31
  Speaker 9: I love. As Chief of Protocol of the United States.
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: It's such a blessing, Mark, it truly is. And I
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: am as witnessed by my being on your show this morning.
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: I am still doing radio and television. I'm just speaking
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: on behalf of the President and his agenda now rather
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: than speaking on my own behalf.
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: So I'm still doing it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: We've got huge events coming up, including America's two hundred
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: and fiftieth Birthday on July fourth, and I'm a huge
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: part of that, as well as the FIFA World Cup
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: and that final will be played at MetLife Stadium in
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: New Jersey on July nineteenth, and I'm a big part
• 24:10
  Speaker 9: of that too. So we've got a lot of exciting
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: things coming up in the country.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Now this is a big deal. It's the two
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth Birthday of America. Events all this year
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: and now this will continue through the summer fourth of July,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: or will continue the rest of the year.
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: Well, it is going to continue the rest of the
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: year mark Obviously, We've got a lot of big events
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: planned between now and July fourth, and then it's all
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: culminating on July fourth with a major address from the
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: President from the White House to the country and in
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: fact to the world. But leading up to it, we're
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: going to have events like the Great American State Fair,
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: which is going to take place on the Mall and
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: all fifty states will have their own pavilions, they'll all
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: be represented, So I encourage everybody in the spring and
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: early summer to come down for that. We're also going
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: to have a national Prayer event happening on the Mall
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: on May seventeenth, So please mark your calendars for that
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: because it really is a cornerstone to what we're doing
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: in the Trump administration and in terms of marking our
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: big national birthday, which is to try to bring the
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: country together, to unite the country in this grand, majestic
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: celebration of our country, but also to unite under prayer
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: and to unite the country under God, because after all,
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: we can't make America great again, we can't restore the
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: country unless we return to God.
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: So that is going to be a huge event.
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: And then of course we're going to have UFC to
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: fifty taking place on the South Lawn on the White
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: House June fourteenth, and that of course is Flag Day
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: and the President's big birthday.
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: That is going to be quite the event.
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: We have so many other things planned and for New
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: York centric I know we're on in WR New York.
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: New York is going to host an international Naval review
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: of tall ships and naval battleships and so on on
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: July third and launching on July fourth as well. So
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: the Tall Ships procession, which some of us might remember
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: from the bi centennial in nineteen seven, right, we're going
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: to do it all over again this year to celebrate
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: two fifty.
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: It's going to go up the Hudson River.
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: We have about I think about thirty five to forty
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: countries who have committed a tall ship to that parade.
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: So again, so many things, all culminating on July fourth
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: mark and then after July fourth, later in the summer,
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: we are going to have an incredible race around with
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: NASCAR Formula One Grand Prix in the US Capitol, which
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: is going to be incredible that I think is taking
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: place in August. Want to encourage everybody, if you want
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: to find out what's happening in New York or in
• 27:04
  Speaker 9: your community or nationally, please go to Freedom two fifty
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: dot org. Freedom two fifty dot org and the entire
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: calendar of events is all laid out there and you
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: can figure out how you can get involved in your community,
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: your state, and nationwide.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: That's a good idea because right now we hate twenty
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: twenty six coups freezing to death. Here, we got snow,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: we can't get rid. But forget this couple of weeks.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a great year. One of the
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: biggest best years of our lifetime with all this stuff
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: going on.
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: Hey, you were Davos, right, I was, Yes, I was
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: with the President for that.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: And a much better Davos this year without that Klaus
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: whatever his name, was running things much much better Davos.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: I liked it this year well.
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: The World Economic Forum, which hosts DeVos every year in Davos, Switzerland,
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: is under new management Larry think of black Rock and
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: a few others, taken over from Claus Schwab. And of
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: course the big dog on the block is always President Trump,
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: and it's always the United States of America. And this
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: time around the dynamic was completely different. The last time
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: I was in Davos was January of twenty twenty, when
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: I served in the first Trump administration. It was after
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: you know, it was right as COVID was starting to
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: rip around the world from China, so the dynamic was
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: completely different, and.
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: Globalism was still on the march.
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: This time around, President has put his foot down on globalism.
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: This was an America first presentation by him and by
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: the US delegation, and it was just an incredible thing
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: to see. I mean, Davos has really changed, and I
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: think for the better. I think national sovereignty for America
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: and other countries around the world that is now on
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: the menu versus destructive globalism.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Oh that's good right now. Monica Crowley, the Milannia film, Big,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Big Documentary opens today in fifteen hundred theaters. You saw
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: the premiere of it. Tell us about the film, Yes.
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: Well, I was very fortunate to be invited to the
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: private screening at the White House last weekend, this very
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: small intimate group Queen Ranya of Jordan by Tyson Tony Robbins,
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: very small group, and I saw ben It was absolutely incredible.
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: It opens nationwide and globally today, and I encourage everybody
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: to go, get a ticket, be a part of history
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: and see this beautiful film because it really is a
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: behind the scenes view of the first Lady, the President,
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: their family in about twenty It covers about twenty days
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: leading up to and then immediately after the inauguration last year,
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: and it's just smart and it follows her and her philanthropy,
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: her businesses, her love of her country, her love of
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: her husband and her family. It shows she's some fashion,
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: there's some fun.
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: It's very funny in places as well.
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: It's a real inside look and I think everybody will
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: love it, so go get your ticket today.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, and a brilliant woman. You know, she speaks five
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: languages fluently. I can't even learn the second language. I'm
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: still don't work on he Nameligh five languages.
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: She really is underestimated. I think maybe she likes it
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: that way. But she is.
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: Brilliant in her own right, very very accomplished, and just
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: a beautiful woman inside and out.
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: And this is really her moment. You know.
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: Obviously President Trump is running country extremely well. I mean
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: I think he's going to go down as the goat
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: the greatest of all time, really doing an extraordinary job
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: as president. And I'm really leading not just the free world,
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: but leading the world.
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: This movie is her moment.
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: This is something special for her and she so deserves
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: it because she has been and continues to be an
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: extraordinary fla Monica Crowley.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: One final thing, we got a new FED chairman nominated
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: picked Kevin Walsh.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Good guy. I think that's a good choice.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Yes, I do too.
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: And in the first Trump administration, I was very honored
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: to serve in the Treasury Department as assistant secretary, so
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: I know a lot of these issues. I dealt with
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: the FED very closely, particularly during the COVID era when
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: we were standing up all kinds of unprecedented programs to
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: save the American people and American businesses.
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: So I know a lot about the FED. I've dealt
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: with them.
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: I think Kevin Walsh is going to be an extraordinary
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: FED chairman. He really is, and he's going to partner
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: The FED is independent, of course, but the kinds of
• 31:43
  Speaker 9: policies I think you're going to see coming from the
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: FED in terms of maximum employment and interest rates, the
• 31:51
