  Speaker 1: Hey, Marc Simone here it is the special bonus segment
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for you podcast listeners out there. Lots going on this week,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: so you know the Epstein case is. There's gonna be
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Congressional hearings on the whole Epstein matter, and they want
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the Clintons to testify. The Clintons refused to testify, which
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: put them in contempt of Congress possible criminal charges. The
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: committee was about to vote whether to turn it over
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to the Justice Department and have them prosecuted, and it
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: looked like that was going to easily get voted in,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: not just by the Republicans, but a lot of Democrats
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: were going to vote against the Clintons because a lot
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of today's Democrats, many of them don't know who the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: all the Clintons are, and a lot of them have
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: no regard for the Clintons anymore. They're like old dinosaurs
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: from another era. So they're going to have to testify.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: The Clintons caved in. They could see they were going
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to get prosecuted, so they caved and agreed they'll testify.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Now the arrangement was going to be behind closed doors.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe later some video might be released, but they'll testify
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: behind closed doors. Well, now the latest development, Hillary Clinton
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is demanding demanding a public congressional hearing about her and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: her husband Bill's relationship with the deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Epstein and Glaine Maxwell. Now comer Hillary said some about
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: they're always moving the goal post, and Comber, the committee chairman,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: now said, well, you guys are moving the goal post.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: But I don't know why demanding public Well, I do
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: know why, Hunter Biden did the same thing. I guess
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the reason is that way everybody sees every second. If
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it's behind closed doors, they could just leak out what
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: they want to leak out, so she wants it in public.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Also another reason, remember, Hillary Clinton has nothing to do
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: all day. She's unemployed, like the old lady in Sunset Boulevard,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: sitting in that house up in Chappaquaile getting drunk all day.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: He's got nothing to do. So this will give her
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a chance to actually put on some makeup, get out
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of the house, and terrorize the nation again with her nonsense.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: But you'll see those hearings pretty soon. Don't expect much
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to come out of it. Republicans aren't good at the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: at these hearings. You watched Scott Bessett testify this week.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Democrats tearing into him like pitbulls, just fighting the death
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: with screaming at him. Republicans don't know how to do that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: They're too quiet, too gentlemanly. It's never never as exciting. Hey, yeah,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that Milania movie upset every left wing Democrat. They're fuming
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: because they had been writing articles about how there's no
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: ticket sales. It's gonna bomb, it's not gonna do well.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: So the milanim Millennia movie opens, has a big opening weekend,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: does eight million the first weekend, which is unbelievable as
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a record breaking for a documentary. It goes on to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: do like a twelve million for the rest. It's huge.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It's a big hit. In fact, when you look at
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the box office numbers, it's like number three in the country.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: It's the number three top grossing movie in America. It's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: ahead of Marty Supreme, It's ahead of all these big movies.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's doing very well. So what do democrats do well now?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: They start making up conspiracy theories. Jimmy Kimmel launched it
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Thursday night, Kimmel yelling and screaming that this is a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: conspiracy that it's been rigged. He said, there's no way
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it could sell eight million dollars worth of tickets last weekend.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Every theater seemed to be empty. How could it sell
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that much. Well, apparently it wasn't because these these are
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: actual heart. This is just simple math. These are hard numbers.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So Kimmel making up all this nonsense so as to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: say there were blocks of tickets being purchased and distributed
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to Republican activists and senior citizen homes, which are really
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the same thing. Well, none of this is true. And again,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you know, whenever President Trump says anything, they always say
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: he said without evidence, without evidence. Well, talk about without evidence.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Here's Kimmel with no evidence at all. Kimmel then said, hey,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: if you don't believe me, don't forget. In twenty nineteen,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the RNC bought one hundred thousand dollars worth of Don
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Junior's books to put in swag bags just to make
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it a New York Times bestseller. Well, there is some
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: truth to that, but that's done all the time for
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: lots of books. Every time there's a swag bag, it
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: has a lot of stuff in it. When you go
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to a big gallo, when you go to the RNC convention,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you go to a lot of things. There's a swag
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: bag and it has ten twelve things in the bag.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: One of them's always a book. And to do that,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: they got to go out and purchase two thousand books
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for the crowd in the ballroom. And of it's the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: RNC Republican convention, Well that might be ten thousand peoples.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You got to purchase ten thousand books at ten dollars apiece,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and that's one hundred thousand dollars. But it's done all
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the time. That's not unusual. And then Kimmel went on
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to that this is the main thing the Democrats always do.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: It's a bribe. Amazon is bribing. They're bribing the first
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: family with the forty million. It's a bribe. Well, it
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: happens to every first lady. In fact, remember when Michelle
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Obama got eighty million from Netflix. Eighty million. Remember she
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: got like sixty million as an advance on a book.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: The normal advance is ten million. She got sixty. So
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Michelle Obama has if those are bribes, she's taken about
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe fifty million in bribe. No more than that,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: it'd be more like five hundred million in bribes already
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: if you total it all up. They remember the Obamas,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: who didn't have a dime when they left office, are
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: suddenly billionaires. All kinds of deals came in. They've got
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: multiple mansions, you know, they own like twelve massive mansions
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: all over the country. Never heard a word about that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Nobody called that a bribe. Hey, if you're a liberal,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a Democrat, I don't want to upset you. You might want
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to tune away for a little while. But Fox News,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the Fox News Channel, the Fox Business Network, two great
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: channels combined. They have beat Fox News, beats Wall Street
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: expectations and sets an all time record for revenue. Now,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you've got to remember all these cable networks MS, now, CNN,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: they don't do very well in their ratings, not much
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: at all. But revenue is the big deal. And revenue
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: is not just advertising. In fact, when it comes to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: cable news advertising sales, that's very little of the revenue.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: It's a tiny part of the revenue. The big revenue
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: is from the cable companies paying for the channel what
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: they call cable subscriptions. So that's where all the money is.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You know, like if it's let's say a network makes
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a cable news network makes four billion, well probably four
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: hundred million is AD sales and the three and a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: half billion is cable subscription revenue. That's where all the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: money is. But Fox set an all time record. Now
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: in the last year it made five point two billion
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: in revenue. Five point two billion. That's the biggest ever
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: for a cable network. Two percent year over year increase
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: AD revenue it was up one percent. Cable advertising up
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: seven percent. Lachlan Murdoch, the CEO, said, advertising market for
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Fox News has been amazingly robust. They've added two hundred
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: new advertisers and you got to remember that's on top
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of three hundred and fifty new advertisers from the year before.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Demand for the product audience incredibly strong. Now CNN miserable ratings,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: a lot less revenue. MS now very little revenue and
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: very very low ratings. It's been no longer part of NBC.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Remember NBC threw it out of the company and then
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: tossed them out of the building, made them leave the building.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: They're now in a dumpy studio, a near Times Square
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: MS now they no longer have the resources of NBC News.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Remember the old days of the MSNBC now to our
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: London correspondent, and they go to the big NBC news
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: reported there. They don't have NBC News anymore to go to,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: so when they go to somebody, it's some stringer, some
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: blogger in London that they use as to correspondent. Now
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, you know these protesters, the pink haired women
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: with the nose rings, those fat women with the blue hair,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you know, fighting with the ice officers the past week
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: they were setting up roadblocks, roadblocks and stopping Ice vehicles
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and asking for their papers or this is the protesters.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: The protesters set up actual roadblocks and checkpoints in Minneapolis,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: saying they were protecting their community. The Homan just pointed out,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: this is totally illegal a roadblock. You can be arrested
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and taken right to jail for roadblock. He called the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: chief of police. The police got right out there and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: disbanded them and got rid of these people before home
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and in company arrested them. So hey, you know the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: race in California for governor, they had their first debate
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: this week and they really went after Gambon and Gavin Newsom.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: It was six Democrats and a lone Republican Fox News
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: host former Fox News host Steve Hilton. It was in
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: San Francisco, but they all went after Democrats and Republicans.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: They all went after Gavin Newsom. That's the problem he's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: going to happen if he ever tries to run for
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: president for real, they will tear him apart on his
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: record there. He'll never, ever, ever, ever overcome that horrible record. Hey,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: we all love the Brady Bunch. You know, that's an
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: actual house that you see on The Brady Bunch. You
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: see the shot of their house. It's an actual house
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles in the LA area. Well, it's been
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: sold a few through the years. It's had different owners.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: So the current owner and it cost him a lot
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of money. The current owner decided since they own the house.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: You know, the outside of the house is what you
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: saw on the TV show. The inside those were all sets,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: but the current owners spent a fortune and rebuilt the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: entire inside of the house to look exactly like the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Brady Bunch sets. So now when you walk in the house,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: it really is that same Brady Bunch living room with
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the stairs that pink red orange, or Brady Bunch kitchen.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It cost him about three and a half million to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: do this, and they did it with the HGTV. So
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: now the house is actually the full house. People used
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to go buy just to photograph the outside pose in
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: front of it, but now you can go in and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: actually be in the real Brady Bunch house. It's the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: same kitchen, the same bedrooms, the same living room, the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: whole thing. You can stand on that staircase like you
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: did in the opening. And apparently they're doing very well.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: People are lining up forever to come in and see
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: this and take a picture. There great idea for them.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Porn Hub the big porn site. I think is that
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the number one? Yeah, I think they're the number one
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: porn site reveals Now, what does this mean? The number
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of women watching porn is searching. A new report says
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: women are using porn more than ever. Thirty eight percent
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: of all visitors are now women. This has never happened before.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: It's a fourteen percent search. Now, why would this be?
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Why would women all of a sudden start watching porn? Now?
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: You know, when you go to these porn sites, you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: pick a subject a category to search for. You know
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: what the most popular search term was latina Okay, second milf.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: That's mother's I'd like to whatever. Huh, it's interesting. There's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: no age discrimination here. Milf usually means an older woman
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: fifties sixties. So that's number two. Number three Asian Indian
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: was number four. Furry, What the hell? I don't want
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to know what that is anyway, So interesting stuff. Women
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: suddenly becoming much more interested in porn. Hey, the Metropolitan Opera.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: It sounds great, right, the Metropolitan Opera over there in
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Center. It's very prestigious. However, they're going broke. They
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: can't seem to make a living over there. They're always struggling,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: you know, the opera. It sounds very prestigious, the Metropolitan Opera.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: But you'll notice they're always having a benefit to save
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the opera. There's always a you know, you have to
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: have a subscription. Then there's another benefit, another benefit, just
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to keep it alive. The whole opera season is like
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: twelve weeks and they're still going broke. You know, there's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: no benefit to save Lady Gaga's tour, but the opera
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you need it. Well. Now, apparently they're broker than ever
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: because even in the old days, they have twenty benefits
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: just to keep it going. But now younger generations are
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: just not interested in the opera, so the attendance is way, way,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: way down. They're going to lay off about two hundred
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: people at the Metropolitan Opera. And if you look at
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: these numbers, a lot of them make a lot of money.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Look at this guy, these executives one point four million,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: music director two million, cutting salaries, laying off a lot
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: of people. They got, you know, in the lobby of
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the mid from an opera. So they've got these Mark
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Schagal murals that are worth about sixty million dollars. Well,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: apparently they want to sell those. Apparently the deal is
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you have to leave them there, but you can own them.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: They're also trying to make a deal with the Saudis
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: two hundred million dollar deal with the Saudis to save
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the opera, trying to keep it alive. Look at the now,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: wonder they're going broke. Look at this three thousand employees,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: three thousand employees. Who eats that many employees? You know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a Broadway theater it gets by with a couple of hundred.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: But desperate to save the opera, they cannot figure out
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a way to get younger people to go and I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: don't think that's ever gonna happen. Hey, we're out of time,
• 14:13
