  Speaker 1: Here's more marks alone on seven to ten wo wash.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well, so what's the day today, December third? It's only
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: December third. I walk in the lobby. There's a Christmas
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: tree in the lobby of the building. There's a wreath,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: there's a come up here to the sixth floor. I
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: get off the elevator, there's a Christmas tree. They walk
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: by Light FM. There's Christmas music all the time. It's everywhere. Yesterday,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: walking over the Fox, the long sixth Avenue, the candy
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: canes are up, the big candy canes, the big ornaments
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: are up. The tree on top of the Marquis at
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Radio City Music Hall. Tonight they light the tree and
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Rockefeller Center. You know Bryant Park, beautiful Bryant Park. But
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: that's become a big deal, that tree. They had their
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: tree lighting ceremony last night. A lot of people showed up.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: It's not as big as the Rockefeller Center thing. They
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: don't have, you know, seventeen famous singers singing there, but
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: they're getting there year by year by year. So be
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: careful if you're driving tonight, avoid Midtown Manhattan Rockefeller Center.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: It will be massive gridlock everywhere. Steve Whitkoff our negotiator
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and Jared Kushner, who wasn't of much use in the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: first term of Trump, but this time around he's very
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: useful when it comes to these negotiations. He was brilliant
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: at settling things as much as you can between Israel
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and Arab countries. He was very good in the first term.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: So he and Witkoff are a good team. They do
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the negotiating Israel, Hamas that sort of. But they're now
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: working on peace in Ukraine, settling that war. Looks like
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: they got a ways to go. But they had a
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: big meeting with Putin yesterday. Putin always, always, always will
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: keep you waiting. Don't you hate people that are always
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: late for something. They're just scatterbrain, they're flaky. They're late.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: You're waiting for them forty minutes. And it's different with Putin. Deliberate.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: It's deliberate. It's to put you in your place. It's
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: psychological warfare. He does even if it's the most important
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: international meeting, the president's envoys are coming from the He'll
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: keep you waiting deliberately. It's to just psyche you out.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Now it doesn't work because if you're wick cough and
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you're Jared. You know he does this all the time.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: You know he's going to keep you waiting an hour
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and a half. It's just normal. This is what he does.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: It's not personally does it to everybody. So they knew
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and they went and just had a nice lunch. What
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: they waited for the guy, and then he shows up.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: You see the picture of him at the big negotiating table.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: This is in Russia, Moscow. It's a white table and no, no,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: didn't look right. It looked like a table. Betty Crocker
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: would even arouse. It's just something not very tough about it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: But they're all sitting around the table. And at twelve
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: thirty they began the conversation, Now, what you want to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: talk to Putin? Who wants to talk to Putin? Do
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you look at that guy when you see the video,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you say to yourself, Yeah, I'd love to sit down
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: with that guy. It looks like the most unpleasant thing
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: you could do is talk to this guy. But they
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: sat down with them at twelve thirty and the meeting,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: which was not very successful. They were not able to
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: come to agreement. In fact, there was much disagreement. They
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: didn't make much progress. It made little progress, but not much.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: The meeting lasted five hours? Five hours? How the hell
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: did these guys do it? If I were you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Steve Whitcoff is a wealthy guy, a big successful builder.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: It does all kinds of work all over America, New York,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Palm Beach, Miami's Building building. To who that wants to
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: give all that up and go sit in a room
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: with Putin for five hours? Five hours of talking to Putin?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: You can't even talk right to him. He's got an interpreter.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: You know, I think he speaks English, but he pretends
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: he doesn't. Uses the interpreter. It gives him extra time
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to hear your question and think of an answer. But
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: so wit Coffin, Jared Kushner had to bring their own interpreter.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: So when you see all these people at the table,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a couple of them are interpreters. A couple of them
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: are aids to Putin. So who the hell would want
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: to do this? Sit there and talk to Putin for
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: five hours? And be honest, you got a choice. You
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: have to do one or two things. You're gonna have
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: a delayed flight and you'll have to sit at the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: gate for three hours or talk to Putin for five hours,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: which would you choose? Of course, you sit at the gate.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I can look at my phone, I can watch movies,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I can listen to podcasts. There'll be a snack bar there.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: You could do a lot of Who the hell was?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I talked to Putin for five hours, So there were
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: like twenty eight points. Putin was okay with the two
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: or three of them, but there were a lot of them.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: He said, we just can't compromise on it. But they're
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: they're making some progress and they'll eventually get this done eventually. Now,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Trump will not go to the meeting until they're close.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: And that's why you use wid Coffin. Jarrett. You don't
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: embarrass yourself by coming out empty handed five times in
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: a row. So you'll let these guys get it very,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: very very close, and then you show up Cabinet meeting yesterday.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: It was pretty interesting, the war crimes hoax, all these
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: guys like Chuck Schumer trying to make it suddenly they're
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: war crime experts.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: If Trump were to order an attack on land, that
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: would be an act of war and Congress would invoke
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: the War Powers Act. It's Congress's prerogative to go to
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: war and I hope Republicans will defend that role.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: This is just Schumer, a big blowharder, doesn't know what
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: he's talking about. Obama was famous for drone strikes on land,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: blowing up people all over the place, Afghanistan or Iraq, wherever,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: hundreds of hundreds, hundreds of drone strikes. Do you know
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: when they did the Osama bin Laden raid, they were
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: going to go into his house and get him. You know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the actual orders from Obama were to shoot him and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: kill him. And this was all discussed ahead of time. Well,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: what if he surrenders. They were told to shoot him
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and kill him. They were given the order not to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: take him alive. Now, if he comes out of his
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: bedroom and you're there, you could say, well I shot
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: because I didn't he might have a bomb on him.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: So it actually was discussed, what if he comes out
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: of his bedroom totally naked. We know he can't possibly
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: have a weapon or a bomb on him. They were
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: told to shoot him and kill him. They were ordered
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: not to take him alive. Now I imagine the reason
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: for that order is they didn't want to get him
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: alive and bring him back here because they'd have to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: try him and that trial would have a security nightmare,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: all kinds of controversies. They were told, make sure you
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: kill him, no matter what. So even if he's asleep
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and he doesn't wake up, you got to shoot him.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: So but again, that's war. That's what you do in
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a war. You shoot to kill all the time. And
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: even a police shooting a mob hit whatever it is,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you don't fire one bullet and say, well, huh, the
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: guy survived. How about that. No, you shoot a bunch
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: of shots and make sure they're dead. So this war
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: crime hoax, they'll try it for another couple of weeks.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: It'll go nowhere. Then they'll give up. Big cabinet meeting
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: yesterday the CNN CNN if anybody still watches that, their
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: big thing was fact checking the cabinet meeting. The CNN
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: fact checker checker. Trump told thirteen whoppers in the cabinet
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: unbelievable lies that he told. Let's see what the thirteen are.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: He claimed that the tariffs have brought in eighteen trillion dollars.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: All right, about that, that's Trump. They brought in like
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: eight trillion. But you know Trump, if it's eight trillion,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you it's eighteen trillion. If it was eighteen trillion,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: he would have told you it was thirty trillion. All right.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: They got him on that, But he's right in what
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: he's saying. He's absolutely correct. The tariffs have brought in fortune.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: He's exaggerating the number. He claimed grocery prices are down.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: They're up two point seven percent year over year. That's
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: actually a bit of a lie because their overall grocery
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: prices are down. There are certain things that have gone up,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: way up, and that's brought the whole average up. But
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: overall grocery prices are down. So they're wrong about that one. Well,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: technically they might be right, but they're misleading you. He
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: claimed these cutting prescription drug prices by five hundred to
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: nine hundred percent. These numbers make no mathematical sense. That
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: be below zero, it'd be like less than zero. Okay,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: they got him on that, but he had he has
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: brought the prices of drugs down. He's exaggerating the number again,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: but that's him, the salesman. He does that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: He claimed every military attack on the drug smuggling boat
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: saves an average of twenty five thousand lives. Experts say
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: this number makes no sense. Well, first of all, they're
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: not you know, CNN, they find the dumbest, worst, slanted
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: or biased or totally fabricating eccid. Plenty of people's lives
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: were saved by getting rid of the fentanyl and the cocaine. Obviously,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: lives were saved blown up these drug boats. Okay, it
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: might not be twenty five thousand. How would you know
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: exactly how many lives are saved per boat? But he's
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: absolutely right, and he's saying you're just quibbling about the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: he's exaggerating numbers. Yeah, that could be. Uh, what else?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: He has stopped inflation in its tracks? Okay, there's still
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: He has brought inflation down. It was nine percent at
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: one point under Biden, Biden's average inflation for the four
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: years five point two percent. It's now three percent and dropping.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: So he clearly has brought it down, stopped it dead
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: in his tracks. Okay, maybe that's too much. These are
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the whoppers of claiming he told he claimed he inherited
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the worst inflation of all time. All right, it was
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: horrifying under Biden. Nine percent, horrifying number, horrifying. But they're
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: arguing there that's not the old time high. It was
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: higher somewhere in the history of a marriage. Okay, that could be.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: But he's still right about what he's saying. He's gotten
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: it right. You're just talking about exaggeration. He claimed the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: end of eight Wars. Well, the list includes two wars
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: that weren't actually wars. Listen, he's great at ending these wars.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: He can't argue they go on and on. It's basically
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: all the same thing. Uh, let's see, Yeah, they're all
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: the same thing. He's absolutely right everything he's saying. He's
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: just if you wanted to argue that he's exaggerating, yeah,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you could, of course he is. Yesterday, Mom Donnie met
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: with r Adams. They had a big meeting at City Hall.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: These two guys can't stand each other. It was sort
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: of cordial. Uh, Mom, Donnie was trying you know. I
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: give him credit this, Mom Donnie. He always tries to
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: say something nice. He tries to be positive. He meets
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: with Trump, it's very positive. He can't stand Adam. They
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: don't get along, but he leaves and tries to praise
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: him somehow.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: I've appreciated the mayor's work on City of Yes. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: also think the trash containerization has been a good step
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: forward in the way in which we handle garbage across
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: the city. And these are things that I deserve, that
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: New Yorkers deserve to have be built on as opposed
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: to be discarded.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, the guy's mayor of New York for four years?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Four years? What can you praise him on? I got
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: to come up with something he did rail four years?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: What did he do? Rev Ah? The trash containerization? What
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the That's where they put the new trash can with
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: a lid that closes. This is what he did with
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: trash cans have lids that closes. They say the number
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: of rats are down because it's in the airtight trash contail. Okay,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that's very good, But this is your main accomplishment of
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: four years. Not good?
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: How did you go there?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: It went well.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: I appreciated the conversation that I had with with Mayor
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Adams and his team, and we focused on how to
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: make this as smooth as possible of a transition and
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: how to continue.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: To serve New Yorkers.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Are right, Look, I think it is possible to be
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: fair and honest in your assessment of an administration. I've
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: obviously made my critiques clear I also think that there
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: are good things that this administration has done. I think
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: these are the two examples on City of Yes and containerization.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: And I also have appreciated the work the Commissioner Tish
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: has done in reducing crime across the five boroughs. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: that's a critical part of why I decided to retain it.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, there you go. So when you think back on
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Adams and his legacy, it's that trash can containerization.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: What a program the City of Yes What is that?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know, some program you did. Hey, here's the
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: big question. Does Mom Donnie move into Gracie Mansion? You
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: don't have to, you know, Bloomberg didn't. Of course. Now
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: in the case of Bloomberg, he has two massive town
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: house is cut together to become one enormous town house.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Gracie Mansion looks like a ghetto apartment, looks like a
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: housing project apartment compared to his house. So he never
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: left his house. He stayed in his house. And Ed
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Koch had a really nice apartment in Greenwich Village. He
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: would go back there every weekend. He'd like to stay there.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: So Mom Donnie lives in Brooklyn in an apartment. No
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: not for I think he lives in Long Island City
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: or a story of somewhere like a queen's. But will
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: he move into Gracie Mansion.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: That's the decision I haven't yet made. The meeting came
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: about as just part of a typical transition, a transition
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: where we're looking to have a conversation with the current
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: mayor about what it looks like to have a smooth
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: transfer between this administration and the next administration. I've appreciated
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: the work of his staff and ensuring that it continues
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: to be smooth.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: So yeah, he said he has thought of staying in
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: his apartment. He has a massive security detail now as
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: the incoming mayor, a full security detail. But they're saying
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: you can't live in the apartment anymore because it's in
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: an apartment building. It'd be too hard to guard you
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: in that apartment building, and if we could, it'd be
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: totally disruptive to everybody else coming and going out of
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: that building. So he's probably gonna have to leave and
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: go to Gracie Mansion. Hey, you know what was the
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: most interesting thing. This was not at this press conference,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: but last night he goes on New York One on
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that Errol Lewis show. Errol Lewis very nice guy, the
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: most slanted biased media person in the world, but a
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: nice guy. And he said something interesting on that show.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: But because it's New York, one three people saw it,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: so you probably never heard about this. This is why
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: you never don't hear about this. He revealed on the
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: show that he and Trump still talk after that meeting
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: at the White House. They've spoken to each other on
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the phone a few times. They kept in touch. That's fascinating.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: In fact, after the shooting of the National Guards woman mom,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Donnie said he called Trump to express his sympathies for
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: that woman, and they had talked about He said, they've
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: talked a few times. Very interesting stuff. Hey, in New Jersey,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: you know McGreevy, remember Governor McGreevy, a nice guy left
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: in a bit of a scandal. But he lost last
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: night to this guy Solomon. So McGreevy, like Cuomo, thought
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: he could make some quote comeback, but apparently not. He lost,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and he you know, that's the end of him politically.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I want to say from my heart, I congratulate counselmen
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: now mayor like James Solomon. Yeah, mcgreevy's a good guy,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: but you know it's it's the wrong kind of democrat.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: The Democrats if today hate the old establishment Democrats. Uh,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: they like these Trump haters. This Solomon kind of the
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: mission is clear.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: The work begins tonight, and the work and we have
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to do is make Jersey City affordable.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: And so I say tonight, and so that's how this
• 15:54

• 16:08

• 16:13
  Speaker 2: if you go to the wealthiest place in the world
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: in the middle of Manhattan, the Upper East Side, it's
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: very expensive. So you can go there and yell about affordability.

  Speaker 2: It is a riveting book about what the family went through. Hey,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: His job, make it all makes sense. He's marks them
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: oone on sevent tenor.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Well, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to Jan
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: and Long Island. Jan.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: How you doing, I'm doing fine?
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Hell are you doing?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Let me check? Not bad?
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: Okay, I'm glad to hear it always. So I'm calling
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: because Charlie Kirk wrote a book that was kind of
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: I think he called it The College Hoax or something
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: like that. I actually had the book and it was
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: the first of its kind that I ever saw, you know,
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: and it was I think it's only a couple of
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: years old or something like that. And all of a sudden,
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: I'm hearing on a couple of different stations I listened
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: to OR and ABC that there's this other guy that's
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: got an anti college book out.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Well, psychologe, we've been doing that here for a few years.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: It's just a lot of people don't need to go
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: to college. In fact, tech schools would be a much
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: better idea for a lot of kids. You don't. We've
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: had university professors tell us they agree that forty percent
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: of their students don't belong in some supid IVY league college,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: go to a tech school, learn a real skill.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: Ye I've been hearing that on the right, but this
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: was in a book by Charlie Kirk.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: All Right, we got that part. But it's a good
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: idea for a lot of kids tech school. Hey. Also,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: you send the kid to college for four years, it's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: going to be a two hundred and fifty thousand. If
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: you go to tech school, it's like one tenth of that. Also,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: you get out of college with your Ivy League philosophy degree,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: and you're going to go back and live in your parents'
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: house for ten years. You get out of tech school,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: they'll put you to work the next day. They'll get
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: your job right away. Let's go to Shannon in Belmore. Shannon,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark. I wonder if you could tell me
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: what was behind Trump willing to release the Honduran drug lord.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: I can't understand that.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Oh well, you're going to see a lot of He
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: just pardoned a little while ago a lawmaker in Texas
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: who was convicted of bribery. Sometimes he just thinks the
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: guy did enough punishment a part, But a lot of
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: times it's somebody a donor or a big a member
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: of Congress who calls you and asks you for this
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: as a favor.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: So you know money was involved.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not with Trump, but it's a favor to somebody
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: you need to do a favor for. It's a good question.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a guy in Long Island got convicted
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: of uh, swindling people. You know, you got, I know,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: some kind of financial white collar crime. And the guy
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: was a convicted sentenced to prison. So Trump just pardoned him. Now,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of times that's a favorite. You know, if
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: you got the right friends, you can get yourself a pardon.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: If you're a major, major, major donor, you listen, I
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: need a favor. They'll look over the pardon and if
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: it's uh, if it's not too outrageous, they'll give it
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: to you. It's a favorite of the donor. But many,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: many times it's a major figure in Congress or in
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: government calls you. You know, if a major congress has
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: got somebody in this district, that's usually the case. Somebody
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: in the district they need a pardon. And this happens
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: with the Democrat Republican presidents do need to get this
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: guy pardon now. They then weighed, how do I need
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: this congressman. Yeah, I'm gonna need him for about twenty
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: different votes. I'm gonna need his vote, so they'll do
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: the favor for you. It happens all the time. Now,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: it's really outrageous. They'll say they can't do it, but
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: you know, the most glaring example was Mark Rich, the
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: financier who got caught in all kinds of crime, and
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: he's so bad that he fled the country. There's no
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: way he's gonna even try to beat these charges. He fled.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: He went to Switzerland and they were chasing him all
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: over the world. They tried to arrest him in Israel.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: They tried to arrest him here, but they could. They're
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: chasing this guy. He's a fugitive on the lamb. But
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: the Rich family massive donors to the Clinton's massive donors,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: so they wanted the hard husband pardon. And it was
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: so outrageous. Clinton waited till like his last day in
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: office and then did the When he did the Mark
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Rich pardon, somebody in the Justice Department has to sign off.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Everybody refused to sign off. They finally found one guy
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: who was willing to signed that part, who was a
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: junior guy named Eric Holder, who was later rewarded with
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: the Attorney General. Hey, when we come back, and Culter
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: will be with us next. Lots to talk to her
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: about coming up in a moment on seven to ten
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: wor Here's.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: More of the Mark Simone show on wor.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Well and Culture. The best selling author and the great
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: columnists also does a lot of speeches all over the country.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: In fact, if you're in Massachusetts tomorrow night, she'll be
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: speaking at MIT of all places, six o'clock MIT, and
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: she's with us right now. And Culter, how you doing fantastic?
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: How are you Marximon?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Good? You know, I do a lot of speeches, but
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: it's always in some normal place. Mit. You got to
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: sound pretty smart there, I know.
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: I hope they don't ask me any math questions.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: So that's pretty good. Now, all over America they got
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: and we heard this is going to happen. The Democrats
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: have like twenty five other Mam Donnie's. They're going to run.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: They run this woman in Tennessee. It was another Mam
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: donnie no resume history of saying crazy things, but charming
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: great on social media, an influencer. What is this? Who
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: are these Democrats voting for these people?
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: Well? Luckily not enough to elect her. Your listeners, being
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: normal people probably don't know this, but I bet you do.
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: All week on MSNBC, they've been pushing this progressive woman
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: and you know this was going to be a test
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: for Trump, and here it was. It's in Tennessee represented
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: by a Republican. Now, this isn't going to be big tests,
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: big test. You know, they don't set something up as
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: a big test unless they're expecting to win. So they
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: were pushing this woman like mad. And she lost last
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: night by ten points. So I was listening to the
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: coverage today and I don't know CNN or MSNBC. I
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: have a new definition of a close election. It's where
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: a Republican wins by ten points. But apparently that was
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: that was a nail bider.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: But what is this all about? Voting for people that
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: have no resume on paper? They stink. But they keep
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: yelling this word affordability and it sounds good. But if
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: you know, like in New York, Democrats have run every
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: inch of New York for fifteen years. If there's an
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: affordability crisis, why would you vote for them? Yes?
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: And unless it is Democrats with their idiotic laws and
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: regulations making things more expensive, as with run control, as
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: with Obamacare, mostly what people are talking about. I mean,
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: I mean, Trump is right, this is just a word
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: they use. It's like for years, I don't know, I
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: don't doubt politicians run on this anymore, but years, for decades,
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: every every single presidential candidate would run on bringing people together. Okay,
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: those are words, and affordability is a word. What you're
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: talking about is inflation or democratic policies. That's what makes
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: things expensive. I mean, as we've discussed, there's been no
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: matter how liberal the economist is, just economists after economists
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: after economists has pointed out, rent control goes into effect,
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: housing prices go through the roof. And every place there
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: is rent control, in New York City and San Francisco,
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: in you know, small burghs, throughout the nation, every place
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: rent control is in effect, the housing is out of
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: reach for normal people. Thomas All writes a lot about this.
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: It's it's the most basic economic principle. Restrict the supply
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: prices go up.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the ones.
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: I mean, the healthcare thing just drives me absolutely nuts.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: Yet everybody knew this. That's why every single Republican voted
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: against Obamacare. As I think I've said before, when republic
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: can say we're going to fix something, we fix it,
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: and then we lose it as an issue to run on.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: When Democrats say they're going to fix something, they got
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: an issue until the end of time. They just make
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: things worse.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: H you know, like they go crazy about tariffs. Tariffs
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: are the worst thing. They hate tariffs, but then they
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: put on more tariffs than anybody. They call it the
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: corporate tax increase, but that's the same thing. It's a
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: teriff on of business.
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: So oh, that's a great point.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: How do they get away with this? But well, I
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: know how there's no media to expose it. But it's
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: never going to change. So what does this mean for
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: the midterms?
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: Well, as I keep warning you, my friends, your listeners,
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: midterms generally go against the party in power, which is
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: why I don't know why the Trump administration hasn't done
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: this yet. I've surely talked about it on your program before.
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: So the census is taken in twenty twenty under Donald
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: Trump in twenty twenty one. The year after a census,
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: they always go back check do we make any mistakes?
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: Do we get this right? They do spot checks that
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: sort of thing. Under the Biden administration, they realized, oh
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: my gosh, we made a lot of mistakes, and they
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: ended up taking away I met, about ten congressional seats
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: from Republicans and giving them to the Blue States. They
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: counted the Blue states as being much bigger and about
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: ten on each side, and Red states as being much smaller.
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: So I don't know Ron de Santis should sue. This
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: is the administration finding its own mistake. Why can't the
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: Trump administration say fix the mistake? I mean, that gives
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: us ten seats right there, and other than that, it's
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: probably going to be a blowout against us, especially looking
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: at what I didn't think. I didn't think there was
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: any way California could squeeze any more Democrat seats out
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: of that state, but apparently they have. So Democrats are
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: they have an auto pickup of five states in California.
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: And this isn't like some tricky, you know, remandering trick.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: It's just it's just following the Constitution and creating congressional
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: districts the way they are supposed to be created. So
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: I really think Trump has got to get on that.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, you got this new breed of Democrats,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: no resume saying crazy things, but they just look good
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: on social media and they're great influencers. And are there
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: any Republicans who have encountered that who can do the
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: same trick.
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: I hate to sound snobbish, but I think most Republican
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: voters are smarter. They really are Democrats. We deserve stupid
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: voters too. I mean, I don't know we're getting some now,
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: but but Democrats really have a lock on the stupid voters.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: And I am not referring to, you know, young people.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: I don't think it's just young people. A lot of
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: young people are are very thoughtful. But well, I guess
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: I am referring to my gender. A lot of especially women,
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: especially you know identity politics types. They they they they
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: know nothing, they think nothing. They go along with the crowd.
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: Groupthink is very powerful.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So hey, the other issue, this war crimes hoax,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: you know, is some terrible war crimes taking place?
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Is this?
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Well, Democrats get away with this defending these coke boats,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: these narco boats.
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: Oh, I'm so glad you brought that up. I wanted
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: to make two points about that. One is it's funny
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: listening to liberal media they're trying to get hag Seth
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: to you know, quote take responsibility as if as if
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: that's that's okay, and then we'll all go away. You
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: say you're responsible. The media plays this trick a million times.
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: I was just thinking of tweeting out hag sas do
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: not quote take responsibility. This is what they did to
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: rum Fells over Abu Grab. They run this campaign. You
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: just got to take response. Be a man here. They
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: did it with the first George Bush on you gotta
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: raise taxes and he broke his read my lips pledge.
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: And the final thing second thing and only thinks is
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: probably running out of time, is I don't care what
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: they do to these Venezuelan boats. I mean, since the
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: end of Reagan. This is the first time in my
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: life the American military has been used to protect American lives,
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: not alives in the Middle East, not lives in Afghanistan,
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: not lives in the Balkans. For the first time, the
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: military is being used to protect America. So I don't
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: care what you do.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: That's a very good point, excellent point. Hey, So if
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: you're in Massachusetts, we got a lot of listeners there
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: and culture is speaking tomorrow night at MIT. Aren't they
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: kind of left wing kooks there? How are you going
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: to speak to them?
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm hoping some of your listeners will come. You
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: sign up on Google. It's linked on my Twitter feed,
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: and I happen to notice on the Google page they're
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: apparently not releasing the undisclosed lowation until I don't know
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: a few hours before the speech, but it obviously will
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: be near MIT, and I think all marksman own listeners
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: should come so I could at least get some some
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: smart questions that don't involve Mas.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a bunch of left wing cooks there at MIT,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: but it's quite a beautiful.
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: Campus and probably fewer left wing cooks because remember they
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: were the first college to well first get rid of
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: the SAT and then immediately bring it back.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a beautiful campus and it's right on the
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Charles River. You hat a beautiful view and you'll have
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: a good time there talking to those eggheads. But it's
• 31:40

  Speaker 2: Buck and Clay coming up at noon today. But don't
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: forget tonight. Every night excellent news show Jimmy Fayla. It's fascinating,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: it's funny. It's a very entertaining show nine to midnight
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: every night on seven to ten WOR.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Give WR o bre said on the iHeart Radio app
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: to hear Mark Simone and all the WOR hosts in
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: an instance, go back to the Marximo Show on WR.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: You know that crazy Olivia Nuzzy, the one writing the book.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: She was that reporter got involved with RFK Junior. Claimed
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: they were texting and sexting back and forth and then
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: apparently carrying on with some other people here and there.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: So she wrote a book, big Exposation's going to take
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: down RFK Junior. You know she's a vanity fair writer.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: She's going to expose. Oh, she's gonna tell the unbelievable book. Well,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: it came out on Amazon this is the first week.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: It's a total disaster, a complete bomb. First week you're
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: supposed to have your best week. It's in twelve thousandth place,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: twelve thousand, one hundred something, twelve thousandth place on Amazon.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: And you'll notice the fake news, the ms NOW, MSNBC.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: They're not really giving her a lot of coverage. So
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: the book completely fizzled. Vanity Fair I think has gotten
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: rid of her, so you won't see much more of her.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: That should be pretty much the end of her. Hey,

• 33:49
  Speaker 2: tree lighting Rockefeller Center. It's tonight at three o'clock. It's
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: a gridlock alert day today. And also remember that tree lighting.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: It's TV at seven o'clock, but they start the whole
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: thing early, like three o'clock, four o'clock, so it's going
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: to be a traffic nightmare in midtown because of that.
