• 0:28
  Speaker 3: A freezing cold. This is the first well we had
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: one last week, but this is another one of those
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: winter days today. So I come into our beautiful, magnificent
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: iHeart headquarters, which is floor after floor after floor after
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: floor of studio's office. But on our sixth floor here,
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: the first thing I see is that Christmas tree. Why
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: is there a Christmas tree? It's not even Thanksgiving yet.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: It's not just here. They're all over the place, these
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Christmas trees. It's starting earlier and earlier and earlier, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: it's gotta stop. It's got to stop. The I told
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: you last week about that condominium place in Florida where
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: they made residents take down the Christmas decorations, told them
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: they're not allowed to put them up till after Thanksgiving.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Their rule is one holiday at a time, and it
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: makes sense. So President Trump, let me just explain this
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Epstein stuff. This has been going on for quite a
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: while now. Donald Trump has nothing to do with Epstein.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: There's no Epstein connection with Donald Trump. There's nothing there.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: But he has been brilliantly playing the Democrats, letting them
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: build it up and build it up. If you're watching
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the Sunday shows, it was all about Trump Epstein, Trump Epstein.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: He's letting this build and build and build and build.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: So it'll end up when they're all released, all these files,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: it'll be another example of Democrats totally misleading the public,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: totally conning them about something. Now, the Epstein situation is
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: pretty simple. He made himself a lot of money, showed
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: up in Florida Palm Beach, and being a zillionaire, suddenly
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: started hanging out at mar A Lago and there he
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: was all over mar A Lago. This is back in
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: the good old and they were talking twenty something years ago,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: maybe twenty five years ago. And anytime anybody with a
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: lot of money starts spending it at mar A Lago
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: and throwing parties there, or back when Trump owned the plaza,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: if somebody spent a fortune throwing an incredible gallot in
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: the ballroom, Trump would always show up. And you'll notice
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: even now if you follow all this stuff on Instagram,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: when there's a big, big wedding or an event at
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Mar A Lago where they rent the ballroom, Trump will
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: show up. He'll show up and wander through the crowd
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: taill ever. So that's how he met Epstein, That's how
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I got to know him. Epstein had lots of women
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: and fun and celebrities, so Trump started hanging out with
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: him whenever he was at Mar A Lago or there'd
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: be a party in there. It was just at parties,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: nothing else. A couple of times Epstein came up to
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Trump's office showing off to some women that he could
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: him up there. Not underage, not under age, perfectly appropriate,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: age appropriate women. And that was the relationship. Well, then
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: a couple of things happened at mar Alago. Epstein started
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: hiring some people away from Mar Alago mar A Lago's
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: staff members, so Trump told him to cut it out,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: and he didn't. Also, at one point, Epstein went after
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I think she was fifteen, a girl that worked in
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the locker room. It was actually the daughter of a member.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: It got back to Trump, and Trump immediately banned Epstein
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: from mar Alago. This is twenty something years ago banned him.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: It's actually twenty four, twenty one years ago. Banned him
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: from mar Alago forever. I never spoke to him again,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: cut off all ties with the guy. Now, as far
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: as these young young girls, that was Epstein's preference, that's
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: what Epstein liked, these young young girls. So it was him.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: There's rumor that Prince Andrew also liked that and got involved.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: But all these people hanging around with Epstein, it wasn't
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: about young girls for them. They were not pedophiles. That
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: was Epstein. But if you went to it. I was
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: at a few Epstein things. If you went to Epstein's parties,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: there were women all over the place, but all ages,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: all ages, not young girls. He had a lot of
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: his young girls working for him as Massuse's and if
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: you go to the party, they'd be checking the coats
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and that kind of stuff. But Trump has no worries
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: at all about Epstein. It's going to be nothing in
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: those files that's going to bother Trump, and he knows that,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: so that's why he's been stringing Democrats along. He's now
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: last night called for Republican release all the files, and
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: at some point you'll see it all. All the files
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: will come out.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: The problem is, this is the only problem Trump might have.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: There might be some big, big donors of his or
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: friends of his that are in the files, but if
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: it's in the files, it's not going to be young girls.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: It's going to be them at these parties, maybe cheating
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: on their wife, that sort of stuff. That's like a
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Bill Gates kind of situation. One has already come out.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Larry Summers, Treasury Secretary to Bill Clinton, President of Harvard,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: very prestigious guy, a very married guy. But he was
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: carrying on with women, not young girls, older women. And
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the emails have already emerged from the Epstein estate. They
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: found the emails where Larry Summers is and I don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: know why you would put this in writing, but these
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: guys put it in writing. He's emailing back and forth
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: about this woman that woman, and she won't see him anymore,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and they're talking about they're talking about his dating life,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: and he's turning to Epstein for advice on how to
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: get this woman back. This is a married guy, so
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: that kind of stuff will come out. That's the worst
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: of it. But nobody Trump's has no Epstein problem at all.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Once it's all released, you'll see that one of the
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: people at Epstein hired away from Marlago was this infamous woman,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Virginia Giuffrey, who worked at mar Alago in the Spa.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: It was Gallaine Maxwell that recruited her way into Epstein world.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: She eventually killed her. She committed suicide not that long ago.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: But she did a million interviews with law enforcement, US
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Attorney FBI, all that sort of stuff, and she wrote
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: a book and in all the interviews and in the books,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: she made it clear nothing ever happened with Donald Trump.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: In fact, she said he was a very nice man
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and always a total gentleman with her. And remember she
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: had worked for him too. So the US Attorney here
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: in New York, good guy Jay Clayton, he's been told
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: to oversee an investigation and to look into Democrats because
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of Democrats are going to have a problem.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Now you know who was really tangled up with Epstein
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: or the banks. Nothing to do with sex, but JP Morgan,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Chase and these other banks were really really close with Epstein,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: working hard with him. The reason they did that Epstein
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: had billions of dollars that he was working with and
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: he had to put it somewhere, so they wanted it
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: in their bank because they can make a fortune having
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: his bills in their banks. So JP Morgan chasing. The
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: other banks were very nice to Epstein, and these are
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: the same banks that d banked Donald Trump threw him out,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: refused to take his business. And if you're a major corporation,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: you can't exist without banks. You have to have banks
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: for everything. So that was just disgusting the way they
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: d banked. It wasn't just Trump, other conservative companies. So
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: they deserve everything they're getting with this Epstein stuff. Now,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: who else will have a problem A lot of celebrities.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: George Stephanopolis will have a big problem with George Sloppadopolis,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Katie Couric. These are some of the celebrities that were
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: at Epstein's house having dinner with them. You know, when
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: you see the ABC Sunday Morning Show this week make
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: a big deal out of Epstein, they failed to mention
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: George Stepanopolos at Epstein's house having dinner with him. Now,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: when asked about it, Stephanopoulos gives you this ridiculous explanation.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't know who he was. I had no idea
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: who he was. I had no idea who he was.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I should have done my due diligence. Is Stephanopoulois's quote, Well,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: the guy's a news broadcaster, host of a news show,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: supposedly a journalist and a newsman. They didn't know Jeffrey
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Epstein was. Now, this is after Epstein was convicted of
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: being a pedophile. This was trafficking the miners prostitution. Epstein
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: was already convicted and had gone to prison for it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: George Stephanoppois, I had no idea he was. I should
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: have looked into it. Well, I knew who he was.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: You probably knew who he was. You probably read about it,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: the guy in Florida that got convicted. Of course, you
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: read about this guy's a professional newsman on a network,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: claiming you didn't know about it. There is this clip
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: running around the internet right now of Katie Couric. She's
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: on with what's the Bravo guy's name, Andy Andy Cohen.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: She's on the Bravo show, and good for Andy Cohne
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: He said, the hell were you doing at Jeffrey Epstein's
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: house having dinner with him? So she said, well, I
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: didn't know who he was. I probably shouldn't. Remember she
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: was the anchor of the CBS Evening News, that's one
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: of the top news jobs in the world. And she
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: didn't know who Jeffrey Epstein was. This is after he
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: was in prison, this is after he'd been convicted, after
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: he went to jail. I didn't know who he was.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I guess I should have invested. First of all, who
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: goes to anybody's house and you don't know who they are?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Have you ever been to a house I'd had dinner
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: with somebody and when you're leaving, who is it? I
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: don't know. I have no idea who the guy is. Well,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I just say, you having dinner in his house? Yeah,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Know who he is.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Even if somehow you were that stupid, that ignorant that
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: you didn't know who he was after spending the evening
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: at his house, wouldn't you then have some idea of
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: who he was? So, Katie Kirk, I didn't I should
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: have checked. Now, she uses the excuse that Prince Andrew
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: was going to be at the dinner and that Megan
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Markle and Prince Harry were going to become a big,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: big story was big Royal waves. She said, I felt
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I should get to know Prince Andrew. He could help
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: me get the exclusive. It doesn't work that way. You
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: just you don't need to go to somebody's house and
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: you can start working the story without that. So a
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: lot of people like Stephanopoulos, Katie Kirk are going to
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: have a big, big Epstein problem. You know, there's a
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: woman in Congress, Stacey Plasket. She's a Democrat. Now there's
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: a lot of files being released from the Epstein estate,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: and this Epstein would text like crazy with people. But
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: apparently this Democrat congresswoman is texting back and forth with Epstein.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: And it's during the hearings. You remember they had hearings
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: on Trump. Was it Michael Cohen or something? It was
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Michael Cohen. There were these hearings going on and they're
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: asking questions, you know, they take turns each congress person
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: on the committee. Well, they're about to come to the
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Stacey Plasket in the during the hearings, she's texting Epstein,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: who's watching it live on TV. What should I ask him?
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: You've been watching the testimony. What did they leave out?
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: What should I? And Epstein is texting her questions to
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: ask and at one point the witness is talking and
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: he mentions Rona. So this dumb congresswoman texts Epstein is
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: what's Rona? Is that an acronym for something? And Epstein
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: text back, No, that's Rona, his assistant, his chief of staff,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: and he said, Rona is the keeper of the secrets.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Dig into Rona. This is this congress woman during the hearings,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: contexting with Epstein. So these democrats were very, very very
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: close to Epstein. Rona, by the way, is Rona graft.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Who's the nicest woman, the most decent, honest. There was
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: nothing bad there, So I don't know what Epstein was
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: talking about. And the other thing, if you start reading
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: through the emails, Epstein had nothing to do with Trump
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: after two thousand and four, nothing, no connect for twenty years.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: He didn't know Trump at all, but a lot of
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: these people think he still did. So you see these
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: very very powerful, big people are texting and emailing Epstein
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: right up until the end during the first Trump term.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I'm going to Washington to meet with the present What
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: should I say, or a meeting with this official in
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: the White House, and Epstein is texting back as if
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: he's connected to Trump, which he wasn't at that point,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: giving advice, well he likes this, he doesn't like this,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: or don't see Jared, make sure you see this person.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Epstein didn't know anything. He was just conning these people
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: like crazy. Now here's another important point to remember. The
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Biden administration had these Epstein files for four years. The
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Biden administration looked through, carefully inspected everything in the Epstein
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: files for four years. They couldn't find anything that would
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: hurt Trump. They were looking for it because they wanted
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: to hurt Trump. They wanted to arrest him, prosecute him,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: do whatever they could to stop him. They looked through
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: the files. They couldn't find anything in there that would help.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: That's why you never heard about the Epstein files for
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: the whole four years of Biden. There was nothing in
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: there that hurt Trump. And this is the way this
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: all works. Look at these democrats yelling and screaming, demanding
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: we must see the Epstein files. Well, how come you
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: didn't say word for four years? How come you didn't
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: want to see him in twenty twenty four. Why didn't
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: you want to see him in twenty twenty three? How
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: come in twenty twenty two you never asked to see him?
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Twenty twenty one, you never mentioned it. It's the same
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: thing with the media. You know, you hear about it
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: is the affordability crisis. Affordability crisis. Inflation under Biden hit
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: nine percent, It averaged five percent, but it hit nine percent.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: None of these people, the same Democrats, the same media,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: never mentioned affordability. It never came up pro check for
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: four years, never mentioned it at nine percent. Now it's
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: two point five percent. That's all they can talk about,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: the affordability crisis, two point five percent. Trump was at
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: about Epstein last night.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: They're using Jeffrey Epstein as a deflection from the tremendous
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: success that we're having as a party.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Actually, the Epstein's stuff, you could also call
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: it operation change the subject. That's what it's all about.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: It sounds good, it sounds but again Trump has been
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: setting them up and brilliantly. Hey, President Trump said he
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: will meet with Mom Donnie. Mom Donnie said he will
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: meet with Trump. Looks like the meeting will take place
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: in Washington, d C. We'll get into it in detail
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: a little later. Also, Mom Donnie has talked with Jessica
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Tish again. They spoke over the weekend. Hopefully she'll stay.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: The fire commissioner's great guy, Robert Tucker. He's already quit
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: and left, but he's got a huge business he can
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: go back to, and I don't think he wants anything
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: to do with Mom Donnie. Jessica Tish will see if
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: she stays. Well, there's a lot of Mom Donnie stuff.
• 14:56

• 15:51
  Speaker 6: That's what I think. I think the African county A
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: you're gonna start, you know, to do because if this
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: man is going to continue in this part, SUSI.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Are we talking about Trump?
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Of course, sir.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Oh well, but I also remember also for a minute,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: please no, I also remember at the same time, it
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: would be the end of the African economy since that's
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: what they do for a living is sell us uranium,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: and without that they'd go broke pretty fast. So let's
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: go to Bob and new Erschelle, Bob, how you doing.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute, Bobby are there? Nope, we lost them.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Let's uh, we got them. Go ahead.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: I know you're a big Blue Bloods fan. My wife
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: got me watching and I got a bit. It's a
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: good show, and I understand that you have to suspend
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: reality to a certain degree for these kind of shows.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: But what would you in your opinion, would you say
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: a more unrealistic one of the Reagans being involved in
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: the biggest case of the city every week, or Danny
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Reagan have nothing but smoking hot partners and his wife
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: not having a problem with it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Well, these are very good questions. I love Blue Bloods.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I still watch it and reruns. Every Wednesday is a
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: blue Blood marathon. I'd love Blue Bloods. It's the most
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: unrealistic cop show ever. First of all, Len carry You
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: plays Tom Selick's father. These two guys are the same age.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: There's like a one year age between these two guys.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Makes no sense at all. There's all kinds of technical things,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: like the police commissioner does not wear a uniform, which
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Tom Sellick does at times in the show. Also, Danny
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Reagan every week is involved in a massive gunfire, massive
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: shootout every week. I've asked three commissioners, has there ever
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: been a cop that's in a shootout every week? And
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: they all said if there was, I'd pull him off
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: the street immediately. We'd never be able to do that. Also, well,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: we could go on and on. It's very unrealistic, but
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: despite that, it's a great show. You know, Like, if
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: you want to go back and watch NYPD Blue n
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: WHYPD Blue is probably the most realistic cop show. And
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: I started watching Boston Blue the spinoff with Danny Reagan.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I gotta admit it. It's pretty good. They it's it's very,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: very different from Blue Blood. They've kept a couple of
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: factors there, a couple of little things, but it's very
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: different and it's a great show. Let's go to Mike
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: and Florida. Mike, how you doing.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike, I was laughing when you
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: were talking about that Florida h O Way that was
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: putting up the that's cracked down on the Christmas decorations.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I live in one of these so called active fifty
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: five communities and it's neither over just over fifty five
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: or active unless you consider majong a contact sport. But
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: they can't wait and put up those stinking Christmas decorations.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: The irony is they're all asleep by six o'clock that
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: they don't even get to see the lights lit up.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And they're the most decrepit looking things that they've been
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: in the back of their garage. You know that they
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: lived in Michigan and they dragged down here and I'm
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: gonna put you know in their follow liying like there's
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: little kids around and it's.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: It's so pathetic. I'm not against Christmas.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: It's great, but it's the forced joy is like ludicrous.
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: You can't wait to put them up.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: A lot of pathetic things about Florida. The most pathetic
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: is when you people in Florida try to celebrate Christmas.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: It doesn't look right. Palm trees and Christmas don't go together.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: No, not at all.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: It's eighty five degrees and they're allaw lie, Yeah.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: It doesn't work, all right, Mike, thanks for calling. You know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: it's better to live in one of these condo communities
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: or something like that, because, uh, you know, everything's taken
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: care of. You've got your own house, you got to
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: find your own plumber, you got to find your own
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: people to fix it. It's so much easier in a condo,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: one of those complexes, one of those communities. But then
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: you got the board. You know, it's always little old
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: ladies with nothing to do who go on this board
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: and then run around on patrol, enforcing every little rule.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you doing,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: good morning, Mark.
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: I'm doing very well, Thank you.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Mark.
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: I'm just beginning to read Love Johnny Carson by Mark Malcolm.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's the definitive book on Johnny Carson. It's the
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: greatest book ever in Johnny Carson just came out. We'll
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: have the author on in the next hour.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: Go ahead, Thank you.
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: I noticed you've been quoted numerous times in the book.
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: I flipped through it quickly. But I have a question,
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: if I may. It says you had said that the
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: Midwest is very important to the Tonight Show and that's
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: what Johnny believes. Could you please explain? And lastly, Mark,
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: my second question is did Johnny's guest hosts follow that policy?
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: A couple of things about the Midwest. One a great analyst,
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: show business analyst showed that all the great talk show
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: hosts were from the Midwest, Johnny Carson, David Letterman, all
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: these sorts. You could go down a whole list. But
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: the guests, we're all from New York. All the great
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: comedians are from Brooklyn or you know, New Jersey, or
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: they were all local New York. But in their own
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: city they couldn't be the host. It was always the
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Midwesterner that had to be the host of the show.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: And Johnny Carson. One of the valuable lessons he taught people.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: He told me about this. He always taught this lesson.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: The battle is won in the central time zone. It's
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: a very important rule. Don't try to appeal to like
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: elite New York or La or Beverly Hills. Always try
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: to appeal to the middle. And hey, we don't have
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: much time, but let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: how you doing?
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: I'm doing good Mark, Good morning matter Mark. I hope
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: us Jessicatish does not take the job with Zora Mundani
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: finish out her term. She's doing a great job. She
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: does have a business to go back to. And let
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: Zora Mandani's diz that were on his political posts. He
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: just got his first name, zorn Well, let the letter
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Z become the new Scholart letter. Let him hang by
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: his own petard. And another thing, Kathy Hkle is thinking
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: about flip flopping on the corporate taxes so Mandamie could
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: have his free daycare. Don't do it, stupid, Hoko. You
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: could attract Jersey business to New York. They're paying eleven
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: point nine, we're charging seven point nine. If she had
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: any sense of any brains in her head, she could
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: use that as a selling point to draw the corporate
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: head quality brains.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: It's backbones. She has no backbones. She's afraid of getting primary.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Well, that's what Michael Goodwin's article talked about. She doesn't
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: have any backbone. But please, mistache, do not take the job.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Let it go to Let let disease for Zoran become
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: the new Scarlar letter. You like Trump business, when you
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: plan you come back and then you could wipe the
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: floor with him.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: All right, Vincent, great call, Hey, when we come back.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Michael Goodman's out here this week, but we'll talk to
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: the brilliant calumnist Liz Peak. We'll talk about Mom, Donnie
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: and Hoaklan and all that next on seven to ten war.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: He's more Mark. He's a Mark Simone show on SEVENTENR.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Well, Liz peak brilliant column lists, you know, besides her column,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: besides all the TV. You can also check out her website.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: It's one of the best news sites with all sorts
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: of great stories every day. Lizpeak dot com lizpeak dot com,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: check it out. Liz Peak.
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: How you doing, good morning, I'm terrific. Thank you.
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: How about you?
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: I'm good. Let's see President Trump says he will meet
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: with Mom Donnie. Mom Donnie says he'll go to Washington
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: meet with him. How do you think that would go?
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: Look, I think that's actually a good idea on both
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: of their parts. To have New York City basically be
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: orphaned or estranged from the mothership, the federal mothership doesn't
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: really help anybody, right. I can't imagine that Mom Donnie
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: and Donald Trump will have much in common or much
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: common ground, let's put it that way.
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: But I think it's a good idea.
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: And look, it's one of the first things that this
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: radical thirty four year old anti Semite has said. That
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: makes them sound like a slightly normal person. So that's
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: very welcome.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, they do have something in common. They're both
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: were these outsiders who came in and just crushed these
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: political dynasties and beat them. Do you think you know
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Trump could be good one on one sometimes?
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: Yes he can, Yes he can.
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: But Mark, yes, I've seen this idea before that they
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: have in common, that they're outsiders. Let's remember that Donald
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: Trump had decades of actual work experience, actually built things,
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: created wealth, and in the process, let's face it, worked
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: with a lot of city governments and municipas and state
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: governments in trying to get various projects underway, get them completed,
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: et cetera. Mom Donnie has zero experience of any value whatsoever.
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: All he has is a big smile and you know,
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: a resume as a community activist.
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: I don't put them in the same boat at all.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, no, it sounds perfect. You know, there's
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: a lot of other mom Donnie's out there getting ready
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: to go. And there's a couple of other cities where
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: they got a mom Donnie type, somebody with no work experience,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: lives in their parents' basement running and Bill Mahra so
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: a Friday night, is warning the Democrats stop with this stuff.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: But where the elder Democrats, the party elders, where are
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: they on this.
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: It's It's astounding, isn't it. You know.
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: We had Julian Epstein on the Democrats strategists.
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: This morning on Mornings with Maria and.
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: As he said, Trump occupies the middle. Now that's what
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: that's what's making Democrats crazy. That is why they have
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: gone so far to the left. And I've said this
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: for months. I mean, if Trump is in the middle
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: on taxes, regulation, energy policy, immigration, gender issues, et cetera.
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: Where does that leave the Democrats.
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: It either leaves them basically working with Trump, which they
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: refuse to do because they've conjured up such hatred of
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: this president that they cannot be seen as collaborators, if
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: you will, or it drives some extreme left policies, which again,
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: and that's just what Epstein said too. It may work
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: in New York, it may work in Seattle or San Francisco.
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: They're not going to work in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa, these
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: states where frankly, house seats are up for grabs in
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: purple districts. I mean, are they really and in those
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: parts of the country, are they going to want to
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: elect a socialist?
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: I don't think so.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Even Kathy Hokel, she's said, you'd assume she's the
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: middle of the road type, and she's the governor that's
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: bigger than the mayor. How does she get so intimidated
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: by this Ma'm donnie that she seems to want to
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: go along with his nonsense.
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: It's it's just it's not just Kathy Hokeel. It's every
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: New York Democrat right now is being primaried by someone
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: on the left, and that includes Kathy Hochel. Her lieutenant
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: Governor Antonio Delgado, who no one's ever heard of, may
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: end up giving her a real fight because Mam Donnie
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: likes him. They've you know, they've been campaigning together, and
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: he's far left like Mam Donnie. Kathy Hochel is in
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: a terrible position because idiotically she gave von Donnie her endorsement,
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: so she basically alienated all the moderate Democrats in her party.
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: And now if she basically says, well, I endorsed him,
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: but I'm not going to really go along with any
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: of his program, what does that make her out to be?
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: What makes her out to be.
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: A completely insincere political animal, which.
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: Is exactly what she is. So she will blow with
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: the wind.
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: She is a terrible governor, and frankly, I think Elie
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: Sophonic has a very good chance of beating her if
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: she's the candidate. I'm not sure she will be the candidate,
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: but we'll see.
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: I mean, she doesn't have.
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: A backbone mark and right now you need some senior
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: Democrats with backbones who are moderates, who can call out
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: a socialist for being bad for the country. Frankly, like
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: Bill Maher's doing.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: I mean, who would have funk it.
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: He's the guy that's saying to a pretty big audience,
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: socialism doesn't work. This is what he just said over
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: the weekend.
• 28:41
  Speaker 10: I guess or Friday.
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: Socialism doesn't work. It has failed every place that's been tried.
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: Look at Venezuela, formerly one of the richest countries on Earth,
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: now one of the poorest in South America. You know,
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: just common sense, folks, and history things that apparently are
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: not in great supply on the left.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Right now, hey, let's pick if you're watching the Sunday shows.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Oh you hear about? Is this affordability crisis? What an
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: affordability crisis? How come during Biden when inflation was nine percent,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: never heard a word about this affordability crisis? Why now?
• 29:15
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's rich, isn't it.
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: I think Democrats fastened on this only after Mom Donnie
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: did so kudos to him for giving them.
• 29:23
  Speaker 10: Sort of a lifeline here.
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: And yeah, things are expensive, mainly because they went up.
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: Eighty seven percent of the increase in prices over the
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: last five years came under Joe Biden. And yet to
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: your point, that was mostly ignored by the mainstream media.
• 29:39
  Speaker 10: But it is pretty rich.
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: Because if you look at the top ten cities in
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: terms of cost of living, they are all run and
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: have been run for decades by Democrats. Democrats brand mark
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: is high cost, high taxes, high regulatory burdens, high union
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: labor costs, you name it. They are imposing enormously high
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: costs on the general public and have for a decade
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: or more. And then you add on to this layer
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: of green energy, which is also expensive, and you know,
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: you have a recipe for extremely inflated costs of living
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: and to try and tag that on Republicans where we
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: are talking lower taxes, lower regulation, fewer impediments to building,
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: which by the way, means better building costs because time
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: is money and construction. You know, it is just astounding
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: that they have been able to hijack this issue.
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: We can't let that stand.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Very good point. Yeah, the affordability crisis seems to only
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: be taking place in blue cities and states. So yeah, well, yes,
• 30:47
