- 0:01Speaker 1: Now sor presents no marksmoo. Well, hey, shutdown is over.
- 0:11Speaker 1: We'll go over the details. We'll get to the Epstein
- 0:13Speaker 1: files and the hoax that's taking place. We'll get to
- 0:17Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, We'll get to Bruce Blakeman, We'll get to
- 0:21Speaker 1: mom Donnie. There's more to learn about this guy. It's
- 0:25Speaker 1: not good. It's not good at loss to talk about today.
- 0:28Speaker 1: So the shutdown was the longest in history, forty three days.
- 0:32Speaker 1: A year from now, nobody will remember it. Longest one
- 0:36Speaker 1: before that was thirty five days. That was in the
- 0:39Speaker 1: first Trump term. Nobody remembers that the shutdown ended. Trump
- 0:45Speaker 1: was at a big dinner last night, business leaders dinner
- 0:50Speaker 1: in the East room of the White House. Big dinner
- 0:52Speaker 1: taking place. But while that dinner was going on, the
- 0:55Speaker 1: vote took place. They ended the shutdown. Took the president
- 0:58Speaker 1: a while, about an hour to get out of that dinner,
- 1:00Speaker 1: get to the Oval Office where he had the cabinet,
- 1:03Speaker 1: some of those business leaders, and announced the end of
- 1:06Speaker 1: the shutdown, signed the legislation that brought it all to
- 1:10Speaker 1: an end. It was a great moment. He was very
- 1:13Speaker 1: happy about that. He pointed out that this little stunt,
- 1:17Speaker 1: the Democrats pulled. This whole shutdown ended up costing America
- 1:22Speaker 1: one point five trillion dollars. What do you call it,
- 1:26Speaker 1: their little escapade, they're a little endeavor. He called it
- 1:29Speaker 1: something like that cost one point five trillion dollars. Was
- 1:32Speaker 1: one of the reasons for the shutdown was to try
- 1:35Speaker 1: to damage the Trump economy, just wreak a little havoc there,
- 1:40Speaker 1: especially leading up to the election. They thought it would
- 1:42Speaker 1: help them, especially in Virginia where a huge percentage of
- 1:46Speaker 1: voters are government workers. So they thought it would help
- 1:49Speaker 1: in Virginia, New Jersey and other places, just to have
- 1:51Speaker 1: the shutdown going on, just to rile up Democrats. So
- 1:56Speaker 1: you got to admit it did work. The down is
- 2:00Speaker 1: over now. However, this extension only goes till January thirty first,
- 2:06Speaker 1: so it's like two months before we have to go
- 2:09Speaker 1: through this again, and we'll see what happens. The fight
- 2:13Speaker 1: over the Affordable Care Act, which is obviously not affordable
- 2:16Speaker 1: since you need a subsidy to have it, you have
- 2:20Speaker 1: to subsidize it, it's obviously not affordable. The President will
- 2:24Speaker 1: come up with a better plan by the time January
- 2:27Speaker 1: thirty first rolls around, and he'll put that plan out.
- 2:31Speaker 1: One of his ideas is to give it costs so
- 2:34Speaker 1: much money for this Obamacare. The government has to spend
- 2:38Speaker 1: astronomical amounts of money on it, and he figured out
- 2:41Speaker 1: that you could be easier just to give people the
- 2:43Speaker 1: money and let him go buy their own healthcare. That way,
- 2:46Speaker 1: they could pick whatever they wanted and get a much
- 2:48Speaker 1: better plan than you'd get from the governor government. The
- 2:52Speaker 1: problem is big one for Democrats. The reason they don't
- 2:55Speaker 1: like that. You might say, well, it makes perfect sense,
- 2:57Speaker 1: that sounds like a much better one. The real secret
- 3:00Speaker 1: of Obamacare is the money goes directly to the insurance companies,
- 3:04Speaker 1: not the consumer. Insurance companies love that they get paid
- 3:08Speaker 1: massive fees by the government under Obamacare. That's one of
- 3:12Speaker 1: the reasons Schumer was fighting to keep it the way.
- 3:15Speaker 1: It is not just Tim but other congressmen and women,
- 3:19Speaker 1: including some Republicans, because by paying off these insurance companies directly,
- 3:25Speaker 1: it means massive donations to them from the insurance companies.
- 3:28Speaker 1: They're big, big, big donors. So Congress was trying to
- 3:32Speaker 1: keep this in place where the money just goes direct
- 3:35Speaker 1: to the insurance companies. Now the present's going to try
- 3:37Speaker 1: to end that and give it direct to the consumers
- 3:41Speaker 1: and let them pick whatever kind of plan they want.
- 3:43Speaker 1: So that's what this fight was about, in large parts,
- 3:49Speaker 1: affordability thing. Affordabilities has been drilled into everybody's head. That's
- 3:56Speaker 1: how propaganda works. You just repeat something i'd nauseum from
- 3:59Speaker 1: every direction. If you keep hearing it all day and night,
- 4:02Speaker 1: you start to believe it affordability crisis. It's not a
- 4:05Speaker 1: crisis because inflation is down dramatically from Joe Biden's presidency,
- 4:11Speaker 1: where it hit nine percent at one point round two percent.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Now it's way way down. Energy prices are down. Now
- 4:18Speaker 1: people will say, well, what about healthcare, that's sort of well,
- 4:22Speaker 1: that's that's not an inflation factor. That's insurance. That's all
- 4:26Speaker 1: caused by other reasons. That's not inflation driving that up.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Even here in New York City, you didn't see the
- 4:33Speaker 1: gas prices come down that much. All around the country,
- 4:37Speaker 1: gas prices are way down, but not so much here
- 4:39Speaker 1: or California. Well, the reason for that is state, local taxes, fees, penalty,
- 4:45Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff on the gas that's keeping it up.
- 4:48Speaker 1: So it's not an affordability crisis. Prices are down and
- 4:53Speaker 1: going down. I think this is President Trump talking to
- 4:55Speaker 1: Laura Ingram about it.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Look at the price of gasoline going from four to
- 4:59Speaker 2: fifty to two fifty two seventy, it's going to be
- 5:01Speaker 2: two dollars gas.
- 5:02Speaker 1: People want affordable.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Well, the anthemy is my thing, and we have the
- 5:05Speaker 2: greatest economy in history.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Are Republicans not selling it?
- 5:09Speaker 2: For Republicans don't talk about it?
- 5:11Speaker 1: Yeah, so they need to do a better job on
- 5:12Speaker 1: Capitol Hill.
- 5:13Speaker 2: The tags I'll give false talk and the Republicans, and
- 5:16Speaker 2: I say it all the time, Republicans have to talk
- 5:19Speaker 2: about the fact that prices are down.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the Costco Walmart. Walmart just put out
- 5:26Speaker 1: that big study the price of a Thanksgiving dinner will
- 5:29Speaker 1: be twenty five percent less than less than last year.
- 5:32Speaker 1: So you got all those kinds of things. But you're right,
- 5:34Speaker 1: Democrats have to talk about it. You can drill something
- 5:36Speaker 1: into people's heads and they believe it. You remember, all
- 5:40Speaker 1: through the election, from the beginning, all you kept telling
- 5:41Speaker 1: is Curtis can't win. Curtis can't win, No way Curtis
- 5:45Speaker 1: can win. Well, of course there is. He was as
- 5:48Speaker 1: good as candadate and probably a better candidate in many
- 5:50Speaker 1: ways in the very beginning. But if ten months, if
- 5:53Speaker 1: Curtis can't win every time, everywhere you look, Curtis can't win.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Curtis can't win. Curtis. If you just hear that four
- 5:58Speaker 1: million times, you actually start to believe it, and people
- 6:01Speaker 1: start repeating it. They're like parrots, just repeating what they're
- 6:04Speaker 1: told to repeat. So that's the affordability the State of
- 6:08Speaker 1: the Union speech. The President will make that in January.
- 6:11Speaker 1: That's where he's got to fix all this. That'll come
- 6:13Speaker 1: before the next shutdown vote. That's where he's got to
- 6:16Speaker 1: get through and really communicate all this to the public. Hey,
- 6:19Speaker 1: let's get to this Epstein stuff for a second. These
- 6:23Speaker 1: Epstein files, they want them released. There's nothing that dramatic,
- 6:27Speaker 1: and there's nothing about Trump in the files. Nothing. And
- 6:30Speaker 1: remember those files have been in the hands of a
- 6:32Speaker 1: lot of people. It was here at the US Attorney's
- 6:35Speaker 1: Office Southern District. They all saw the files. I've talked
- 6:38Speaker 1: to a lot of people that have seen those files.
- 6:40Speaker 1: It's nothing about Trump and there's nothing There's stuff about
- 6:44Speaker 1: other people in there, but nothing as dramatic as you think.
- 6:47Speaker 1: There was never a client list. Epstein never had any
- 6:50Speaker 1: sex clients. He had a client list, but it was
- 6:53Speaker 1: for a wealth management fund. As far as the sexual
- 6:57Speaker 1: stuff the girls, it wasn't a business. He didn't charge anybody.
- 7:00Speaker 1: There were no clients. I mean if he came to
- 7:02Speaker 1: his house, there were women there of all ages. By
- 7:05Speaker 1: the way, he's the one that liked the young women's
- 7:07Speaker 1: It looked like a Prince Andrew like young women too.
- 7:10Speaker 1: But here's another thing to remember. Joe Biden had the
- 7:15Speaker 1: Epstein files in his hands for four years. For four years,
- 7:20Speaker 1: Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, James Cobe, Clapper, Brannan, all these
- 7:26Speaker 1: people had the Epstein files. It belonged to the Biden
- 7:29Speaker 1: Justice Department for four years. They were trying in every
- 7:34Speaker 1: way to stop Donald Trump. At that point, they were
- 7:36Speaker 1: coming up with every scheme to stop Donald Trump. You
- 7:40Speaker 1: can be sure they looked through the Epstein files. Had
- 7:44Speaker 1: there been one word in there damaging the Trump, they
- 7:46Speaker 1: would have released it the next day. They would They
- 7:49Speaker 1: have a million people that know how to leak it
- 7:50Speaker 1: to the press. It's real easy to do. Had there
- 7:54Speaker 1: been anything that would hurt Trump, they would have used
- 7:57Speaker 1: it lead up to the election and during the election
- 8:02Speaker 1: they would have used it if there was anything in there.
- 8:04Speaker 1: There's nothing in there about Trump. Now, yesterday, earlier this week,
- 8:10Speaker 1: they put out this again. They leaked it. They leaked
- 8:13Speaker 1: it to reporters. There's victim number one says Trump was
- 8:19Speaker 1: in the house, that she spent a lot of time
- 8:21Speaker 1: with Trump. Victim number one. That's all they put out.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Victim number one said she was with Trump in the
- 8:29Speaker 1: house and on the plane. Well, they didn't say what
- 8:34Speaker 1: they could have said. Victim number one was Virginia Gouffrey
- 8:38Speaker 1: because the reason they withheld her name. She did multiple
- 8:41Speaker 1: interviews with law enforcement. She was interrogated and interviewed millions
- 8:45Speaker 1: of times by law enforcement. In every single interview, she
- 8:49Speaker 1: said absolutely nothing happened with Donald Trump. He came to
- 8:53Speaker 1: parties and things at the house, and she said he
- 8:55Speaker 1: was always a total gentleman and very friendly. Nothing ever happened.
- 9:00Speaker 1: She's no longer with us. She died, but she did
- 9:02Speaker 1: write a book, a long book about everything, and in
- 9:05Speaker 1: the book she says nothing ever happened with Donald Trump.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Nothing ever. So they kept that from you. If you're
- 9:13Speaker 1: watching nightly news like NBC, boy, you really got conned
- 9:17Speaker 1: by them last night. What a fake story victim number one,
- 9:21Speaker 1: so she spent a very delar time with Donald Trump.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Somewhere at the end of the piece they inserted it
- 9:28Speaker 1: in real quick just for a second. Virginia Goovery said
- 9:31Speaker 1: nothing happened with Donald Trump, but for ten minutes they
- 9:34Speaker 1: made it sound like something bad happen with Donald Trump.
- 9:36Speaker 1: So a complete total hoax. Now, the guy who they've
- 9:41Speaker 1: also has been dragging in this is Michael Wolfe, who
- 9:44Speaker 1: is the lowest form of journalism. I wouldn't even call
- 9:49Speaker 1: it journalism, a gossip column He's the lowest form of
- 9:51Speaker 1: gossip columnist. He is the most disgusting, creepy guy in
- 9:57Speaker 1: the world. He's put out a couple of books. The
- 10:00Speaker 1: whole business model is just bashing Donald Trump. And he
- 10:03Speaker 1: he'll say anything and everything, most of it not true.
- 10:06Speaker 1: He's been caught in a million things that are not true.
- 10:09Speaker 1: But because he's bashing Donald Trump, they'll put him on MSNBC,
- 10:12Speaker 1: He'll be on Meet the Press, He'll be on the
- 10:14Speaker 1: ABC Sunday Morning Show. He is the sleaziest, dirtiest gossip columnist.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Don't believe anything he says. Now, Apparently Epstein at one
- 10:25Speaker 1: point was emailing back and forth with this guy. So
- 10:28Speaker 1: they're starting to release all these emails Epstein and him were,
- 10:31Speaker 1: but if you really read the emails, it looks like
- 10:34Speaker 1: this lowlife, Michael Wolf, this creepy lowlife, was coaching Epstein
- 10:39Speaker 1: on how to damage Trump and at one point suggested
- 10:42Speaker 1: blackmailing Trump because Epstein said he didn't have much of
- 10:46Speaker 1: anything on Trump, and he said, well, if you said
- 10:49Speaker 1: you did, you might. You could use it as leverage
- 10:52Speaker 1: and then take it back and then you'd have he'd
- 10:55Speaker 1: owe you a favor. He was talking about actually blackmailing
- 10:57Speaker 1: Trump with Epstein. It's really embarrassed in this. It's interesting
- 11:03Speaker 1: the Clinton stuff. You know, obviously the Clinton's, the Obama's
- 11:06Speaker 1: all busy with Epstein, but somewhere in there, Epstein reveals
- 11:11Speaker 1: he had a fight with Clinton. He broke up with
- 11:13Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. He doesn't exactly say what it was, but
- 11:18Speaker 1: he said to Clinton, I guess Clinton was supposed to
- 11:20Speaker 1: do him some sort of favor, and he swore to
- 11:24Speaker 1: me that he did it, but he forgot. He swore
- 11:27Speaker 1: the exact opposite only two weeks before. So he was
- 11:30Speaker 1: supposed to do something for him, didn't do him. Now.
- 11:33Speaker 1: The other thing is this Epstein seemed to be very
- 11:37Speaker 1: cozy with the New York Times financial journalist, this lowlife
- 11:42Speaker 1: Michael Wolf. So it's really the journalists that we're dealing
- 11:45Speaker 1: with Epstein, New York Times finance journalist emails back and forth,
- 11:50Speaker 1: you can tell their real buddies, and he's relying heavily
- 11:53Speaker 1: on Epstein. What the hell is the New York Times
- 11:55Speaker 1: doing all tangled up with Epstein? Now, the guy that
- 12:00Speaker 1: should be the most embarrass is Larry Summers, who was
- 12:02Speaker 1: Bill Clinton's Treasury secretary. He was one of Barack Obama's
- 12:06Speaker 1: chief economic advisors. You'll remember he was the president of Harvard.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Larry Summers, who tries to be this distinguished guy. If
- 12:13Speaker 1: you look through the emails, apparently he was very close
- 12:16Speaker 1: to Epstein. And Larry Summers, a married man, was meeting
- 12:24Speaker 1: with various women all over the place. Not young girls,
- 12:28Speaker 1: but women who he's trying to do something with and
- 12:31Speaker 1: apparently was having trouble. He was getting rejected left and
- 12:34Speaker 1: right by women, and he's constantly emailing Epstein for advice,
- 12:40Speaker 1: and there's emails back and forth. He's like a teenager
- 12:45Speaker 1: Larry Summers right in Epstein. Well, here's what she wrote,
- 12:49Speaker 1: she texted me, can't I'm busy. I'll call you next week.
- 12:53Speaker 1: What does that mean? And then Epstein is emailing him back.
- 12:57Speaker 1: He's just play it cool, don't whine, don't look me,
- 13:00Speaker 1: don't look good. And then apparently supposed to spend a
- 13:02Speaker 1: weekend with one woman in London and she canceled and
- 13:06Speaker 1: what does that mean? How can I get any And
- 13:09Speaker 1: Epstein's coach him, don't say this say that's quite pathetic
- 13:13Speaker 1: on the part of Larry Summers. He should really be embarrassed.
- 13:17Speaker 1: He you know Ozzy Osbourne, We lost Ozzy Osbourne. Sharon
- 13:21Speaker 1: Osbourne finally revealed this for everybody to hear. She didn't
- 13:26Speaker 1: really know Donald Trump. Well, I mean not really, but
- 13:29Speaker 1: he got her number and he left her a voicemail.
- 13:32Speaker 1: This is Donald Trump leaving a voicemail for Sharon Osbourne.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Everyone will know I shared is Donald Trump, and I
- 13:42Speaker 2: just wanted to wish you the best and the family
- 13:44Speaker 2: have great. Ozzie was amazing. He was an amazing guy.
- 13:48Speaker 2: I met him a few times and I want to
- 13:51Speaker 2: say that he was unique in every way and talented.
- 13:54Speaker 2: So I just wanted to wish you the best. And
- 13:57Speaker 2: it's a tough thing. I know how close you were,
- 14:00Speaker 2: and whenever I can do, take care of yourself, say
- 14:02Speaker 2: loo to the family.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Thanks by Well, now they're playing it with Sharon Osbourne.
- 14:11Speaker 1: There you see her tear up listening to it. It
- 14:14Speaker 1: was very nice. He does that all the time for people.
- 14:16Speaker 1: You're not supposed to know about that, because the press
- 14:18Speaker 1: would never ever report that. Hey, we'll get to Bruce Blakeman.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Apparently he's taking it seriously this run for government. He's
- 14:24Speaker 1: gonna even go on a little tour upstate, which is
- 14:27Speaker 1: a good idea. That's what a smart guy does. You know,
- 14:29Speaker 1: you go test the waters.
- 14:30Speaker 2: You go.
- 14:31Speaker 1: You don't just sit there and decide should I shouldn't I.
- 14:33Speaker 1: You go up there and you meet voters, you see
- 14:35Speaker 1: how it feels, You get a feel for things. That's
- 14:37Speaker 1: that's what a smart manager would do. But we'll get
- 14:39Speaker 1: to that coming up. We'll get to mom Donnie, his transition,
- 14:42Speaker 1: what he's working on. Boy, even the Washington Post, even
- 14:46Speaker 1: the Washington Post bashing Mom Donnie, talking about how phony
- 14:50Speaker 1: he was, this smiling, happy, and you know candidate and
- 14:54Speaker 1: then that angry, ugly victory speech election. But we'll take
- 14:59Speaker 1: some calls next eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Is the number eight hundred three two one zero seven
- 15:07Speaker 1: ten
