- 0:17Speaker 1: where through the winter it's gonna be warm all weekend.
- 0:20Speaker 1: It might be a little little little light wet snow
- 0:23Speaker 1: on Sunday. That's about it. Lots to get to today.
- 0:27Speaker 1: We'll get to the Epstein hearings and Hillary Bill testifies. Today,
- 0:30Speaker 1: we'll get to President Trump and the meeting with Mom
- 0:34Speaker 1: Donnie that if nobody could figure out why they kept
- 0:35Speaker 1: it so secret, it was this top secret meeting. We'll
- 0:40Speaker 1: we'll get to the Snowball fight, We'll get to Netflix
- 0:43Speaker 1: is gonna bow out, and Paramount's gonna get Warner Brothers Discovery.
- 0:47Speaker 1: We've had lots to get to today, So yeah, President Trump.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Every day we get the schedule or the night before
- 0:56Speaker 1: we get the President's schedule usually comes out o'clock at night,
- 1:01Speaker 1: And for yesterday, the schedule had all these things, and
- 1:04Speaker 1: at three o'clock it said the President participates in a
- 1:08Speaker 1: private meeting. Now that's unusual. Usually it says what the
- 1:11Speaker 1: meeting is or who the meeting is with. But at
- 1:13Speaker 1: three o'clock. It just said the President participates in a
- 1:19Speaker 1: private meeting. Now, the Mom Donnie schedule which comes out,
- 1:25Speaker 1: didn't say he was going to Washington. It didn't say
- 1:28Speaker 1: it just said, well, it just kind of was mysterious.
- 1:31Speaker 1: There was I don't know why they kept us quiet.
- 1:34Speaker 1: They didn't want anybody to know about it. Now, even
- 1:39Speaker 1: within the government, they didn't know he was heading to Washington.
- 1:41Speaker 1: He got on a plane and flew down there late
- 1:44Speaker 1: morning and took one guy with him. Let me, he
- 1:47Speaker 1: took his police detail and everything, but one guy, Morris Katz,
- 1:50Speaker 1: who has no actual formal role in city Hall. But
- 1:53Speaker 1: they got on a Delta Airlines plane they flew down there.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Now they're saying that he was really there to help
- 2:01Speaker 1: with a proposed bill by Elizabeth Warren that would curb
- 2:05Speaker 1: Wall Street's ability to buy housing. All right, that's the
- 2:07Speaker 1: excuse to go down there. But they kept it secret,
- 2:10Speaker 1: this meeting with President Trump. And then he showed up
- 2:13Speaker 1: in the Oval Office and met with President Trump. And
- 2:18Speaker 1: we don't know the contents of the whole meeting. We
- 2:21Speaker 1: only know about ten percent, which was it was an
- 2:24Speaker 1: exchange two things Mom Donnie wanted to get somebody who'd
- 2:30Speaker 1: been arrested by ice. Columbia University student had been detained
- 2:35Speaker 1: and arrested by ice. Here visa was no good. Her
- 2:39Speaker 1: visa had been revoked, actually had been revoked by Barack Obama,
- 2:43Speaker 1: who declared that she was here illegally, and the ICE
- 2:47Speaker 1: finally caught up with her and she was arrested and detained.
- 2:50Speaker 1: So Mam Donnie wanted her released. The President was able
- 2:55Speaker 1: to pick up the phone and just get it done
- 2:57Speaker 1: like that, she was released. The other thing is, Mom
- 3:00Speaker 1: Donnie wants to apparently he's really serious about housing. He
- 3:04Speaker 1: wants to build some kind of housing. And there's a
- 3:06Speaker 1: location in Queens where you'd like to build a big
- 3:09Speaker 1: housing project. Now would you live in a house built
- 3:12Speaker 1: by Zoron, Mom Donnie? Could you imagine that everything would
- 3:16Speaker 1: be crooked, broken, faulty? But Donald Trump, would you like
- 3:20Speaker 1: to live in a Trump building? They're very well built.
- 3:22Speaker 1: He's one of the greatest builders in the world. So
- 3:26Speaker 1: he'd like President Trump to get involved in it. He
- 3:28Speaker 1: was looking for money. He first started off about five billion.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I remember, if you're the president of the United States, five
- 3:34Speaker 1: billion is like nothing. It's like twelve bucks. You can
- 3:37Speaker 1: just you find it in the sofa cushion. It's nothing,
- 3:42Speaker 1: it's nothing. So he agreed to give him the five billion.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Now I imagine he also wanted President Trump's help in
- 3:49Speaker 1: building the thing correctly, getting it done. So he walks
- 3:53Speaker 1: away with two big favors. Now what is President Trump
- 3:57Speaker 1: up to? Why is he being so nice to Mom Donnie. Well,
- 4:00Speaker 1: he's grooming him. He's getting developing this father son relationship,
- 4:06Speaker 1: this mentor student relationship with Mom Donnie. And I'm sure
- 4:11Speaker 1: down the line he knows what he wants out of
- 4:13Speaker 1: this guy. He may have already gotten him to agree
- 4:15Speaker 1: to some things in the meeting yesterday. But Trump working
- 4:19Speaker 1: very slowly on this relationship, getting this guy in his pocket,
- 4:23Speaker 1: which is good. It'll be good for New York. He'll
- 4:26Speaker 1: keep a lid on Mom Donnie's craziness. And if Mom
- 4:29Speaker 1: Donnie ever goes too far with something, Trump can call
- 4:33Speaker 1: in some favors and stop it. So this is good.
- 4:36Speaker 1: This is all good President Trump. Yesterday, after the meeting,
- 4:40Speaker 1: I feel very confident that he can do very good
- 4:42Speaker 1: yet all right now he flects to flatter people until
- 4:45Speaker 1: he doesn't, and then Mom died. What I really appreciate
- 4:48Speaker 1: about the President. Is the meeting that we had focused
- 4:50Speaker 1: not on places of disagreement, which there are many, and
- 4:53Speaker 1: also focused on the shared purpose that we have in
- 4:56Speaker 1: serving New Yorkers. All Right, he's getting along. And what
- 4:58Speaker 1: does this tell us about these two? Well, in the
- 5:00Speaker 1: case of Trump, he's the most powerful man in the world.
- 5:03Speaker 1: He loves New York. He's got obviously a real soft
- 5:05Speaker 1: spot for New York. His son still lives here in
- 5:07Speaker 1: New York, goes to school here, his family, much of
- 5:10Speaker 1: his family lives here in New York. So New York's
- 5:13Speaker 1: very important to him. It's really his hometown. So he
- 5:16Speaker 1: wants what's best for New York. That's one thing. Also,
- 5:21Speaker 1: I'm sure he gets a kick out of this, Mom, Donnie.
- 5:23Speaker 1: You know you got to get mom, Donnie credit. He's
- 5:25Speaker 1: a twelve years old never had a job, but such
- 5:28Speaker 1: a good talker. He gets himself elected mayor of New
- 5:32Speaker 1: York City. It's a pretty impressive thing. And like Trump,
- 5:35Speaker 1: he's a total amateur politician who came out of no
- 5:38Speaker 1: place and was successful in his first run. So he
- 5:43Speaker 1: thinks he can work with this kid and maybe maybe
- 5:45Speaker 1: straighten him out. And what does mom Donnie want well again,
- 5:48Speaker 1: he's a little kid who never had a job, and
- 5:50Speaker 1: suddenly he's the mayor of New York. And hey, it's
- 5:53Speaker 1: a big deal to just to be in the oval
- 5:55Speaker 1: office at the president of the United States. So the even
- 5:57Speaker 1: bigger deal to develop a good, solid religtionship, a partnership
- 6:01Speaker 1: with him. So it's a big deal for Mom Donnie.
- 6:03Speaker 1: And who knows what Mom Donnie's really up to in
- 6:05Speaker 1: the long game. Maybe that's his dream to be president.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Maybe was he born in this country? I don't think so,
- 6:12Speaker 1: maybe he can't be president. I don't know. I have
- 6:13Speaker 1: to all look into I don't think he was born here.
- 6:15Speaker 1: But who knows what he really wants. And it's all good.
- 6:20Speaker 1: It's all good. I know you'd rather have Trump called
- 6:23Speaker 1: Mom Donnie all kinds of names. But let him get
- 6:26Speaker 1: something out of Hey. Remember the horrible they called it
- 6:29Speaker 1: a snowball fight. It was an assault on police officers,
- 6:32Speaker 1: a horrible, ugly incident. They were able with the surveillance
- 6:36Speaker 1: video to identify some of those assaulters. One of them
- 6:39Speaker 1: they arrested, charged him with assault on a police officer.
- 6:43Speaker 1: But the problem is it goes to Alvin bragg crazy
- 6:45Speaker 1: lunatic da put in there by George Soros. He declined
- 6:51Speaker 1: to charge. He would not charge this guy that knocked
- 6:53Speaker 1: it down to basically a desk appearance ticket. That's just awful.
- 6:59Speaker 1: There were a couple of these guys they've identified. They're
- 7:01Speaker 1: not kids, as mom Donnie claimed. This one is twenty
- 7:04Speaker 1: seven years old. Another one was seen a couple of
- 7:09Speaker 1: weeks ago assaulting somebody, trying to rob somebody on a subway.
- 7:13Speaker 1: So it's I mean, these are guys with rap sheets.
- 7:16Speaker 1: These are bad, bad guys who should have been prosecuted
- 7:19Speaker 1: over this. But it's not over yet. Who knows, maybe
- 7:22Speaker 1: somewhere somebody will prosecute them for something. Oh now, the
- 7:27Speaker 1: other big stories the Epstein hearings yesterday was Hillary Clinton today.
- 7:32Speaker 1: They grill Bill Clinton now yesterday And as I've been
- 7:36Speaker 1: telling you all along, we got to remember, Republicans stink
- 7:40Speaker 1: at hearings. Democrats are great at hearings. They know how
- 7:44Speaker 1: to just tear into somebody, just badger them, assault them
- 7:49Speaker 1: on camera, and they're great at creating a spectacle on camera.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Republicans when they do hearings stink. They get nothing done,
- 7:58Speaker 1: nothing works for them. When they do a hearing. So
- 8:00Speaker 1: they got Hillary in there and they asked her all
- 8:04Speaker 1: kinds of questions and got nothing out of her, and
- 8:08Speaker 1: it probably helped her in the end. She was doing
- 8:10Speaker 1: a press conference before after attacking them for everything.
- 8:14Speaker 2: It then got at the end quite unusual because I
- 8:20Speaker 2: started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions
- 8:25Speaker 2: about Pizzagate, one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories
- 8:30Speaker 2: that was propagated on the Internet.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Yeah, pizza Pizzagate was some kind of pedophile ring Washington, DC.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Was one of those silly Internet things. But they did
- 8:43Speaker 1: ask her all about Epstein. She kept saying over and
- 8:46Speaker 1: over again, she did not know Epstein, she never met Epstein,
- 8:49Speaker 1: she never heard of Epstein, she never saw Epstein. Nobody's
- 8:53Speaker 1: buying this now. Gallaine Maxwell, who was the closest thing
- 8:59Speaker 1: to Epstein, was at Chelsea Clinton's wedding. When asked about that,
- 9:03Speaker 1: she said, well, I don't know. She must have been
- 9:05Speaker 1: somebody's date, somebody's plus one, and nobody's buying that. Because
- 9:09Speaker 1: Bill Clinton was very, very close literally literally to Gallaine Maxwell.
- 9:16Speaker 1: You can see pictures of them together in swimming pools
- 9:20Speaker 1: all over the world, swimming together, doing who knows what together.
- 9:25Speaker 1: I'm sure it's a long list, but she just said,
- 9:28Speaker 1: I don't know the guy. And now they brought up
- 9:30Speaker 1: that he funded and helped found the Clinton Global Initiative.
- 9:35Speaker 1: She suddenly denies anything to do with that. She said,
- 9:38Speaker 1: I really had nothing to do with the Clinton Global Initiative.
- 9:40Speaker 1: I wasn't there when I was still in the Senate,
- 9:42Speaker 1: so I couldn't get involved. I had nothing to do
- 9:44Speaker 1: with it. Nobody's buying any of this. But and they
- 9:48Speaker 1: also pointed out that she was in the Senate, you know,
- 9:51Speaker 1: she ran for Senate, that Epstein was a major donor
- 9:55Speaker 1: writing large checks, you know, not twenty five hundred, he
- 9:59Speaker 1: was writing checks for twenty fifty thousand, making massive, constant
- 10:03Speaker 1: donations to Hillary Clinton. She said she didn't know him. Now,
- 10:07Speaker 1: most senators congressman will tell you anytime somebody's over twenty
- 10:11Speaker 1: five thousand of the donation, they're aware of it. And
- 10:14Speaker 1: that's usually when you get into those big donations. That's
- 10:17Speaker 1: usually you know who the person is. You give them
- 10:20Speaker 1: a call, they're invited to your events, You shake hands
- 10:23Speaker 1: with them, you go to their events if they need you.
- 10:26Speaker 1: That's usually the case, so nobody's buying this. She never
- 10:29Speaker 1: heard of Jeffrey Epstein, didn't know Jeffrey Epstein. There is
- 10:34Speaker 1: some truth to one thing. Bill Clinton might have kept
- 10:37Speaker 1: her away from Epstein because Epstein was simply one of these.
- 10:41Speaker 1: There's a lot of them. They're big, big donors. They've
- 10:44Speaker 1: got what they call check's appeal. They'll write your massive checks.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Now in exchange for these massive donations, you got to
- 10:52Speaker 1: be nice to them. You got to go to dinner
- 10:54Speaker 1: with them, you got to come to their house, you
- 10:57Speaker 1: got to talk to them. And all poul politicians hate
- 11:02Speaker 1: the donors. They hate you, pig donors. I hate to
- 11:05Speaker 1: break it to you, but as soon as you leave
- 11:07Speaker 1: the room, they can't stand you. Now. One of the
- 11:09Speaker 1: reasons is the big donor is usually somebody who's brilliant
- 11:13Speaker 1: and who has made a fortune in some business. But
- 11:17Speaker 1: when they're with the politicians, they decide they want to
- 11:21Speaker 1: talk about politics. And when they talk about politics, they're
- 11:25Speaker 1: dis babbling idiots. It's like talking to children. Trump calls
- 11:28Speaker 1: it baby talk, which is a good name for it.
- 11:30Speaker 1: You have to have baby talk with them. So you know,
- 11:33Speaker 1: if the brilliant business guy who made a fortune in
- 11:36Speaker 1: some industry started telling you about his business, it would
- 11:39Speaker 1: be fascinating. You'd be taking notes. When they start talking
- 11:42Speaker 1: about politics, they stand like they're twelve years old. Nobody's interested,
- 11:46Speaker 1: but they are giving you massive contributions. So you got
- 11:49Speaker 1: to pretend that you're listening to them and all they're
- 11:51Speaker 1: doing is giving you their opinion on this and that,
- 11:53Speaker 1: which was just just silly. It's just so Bill Clinton
- 11:57Speaker 1: loves people, he loves socializing. He's happy to put up with.
- 12:00Speaker 1: He enjoys doing it. He really knows how to flatter them. Hillary,
- 12:05Speaker 1: like a lot of people, has no interest in this.
- 12:07Speaker 1: They can't sit there and pretend to be listening. They
- 12:09Speaker 1: don't want to hear it, so she can't do it.
- 12:11Speaker 1: So I would imagine that the whole time of Jeffrey Epstein,
- 12:15Speaker 1: Bill always said to Hill, I don't worry, I'll talk.
- 12:18Speaker 1: I'll go out with him. I'll talk. You don't have
- 12:20Speaker 1: to bother with him. I'll take care of him. I'll
- 12:22Speaker 1: talk to him, I'll listen to him. So today is
- 12:26Speaker 1: the day that Bill will testify. Hearings begin probably after eleven.
- 12:31Speaker 1: They usually start late eleven thirty twelve, So Bill will
- 12:35Speaker 1: testify today They're probably going to ask him some rough questions.
- 12:39Speaker 1: I'll probably specifically ask him if he met women through Epstein,
- 12:44Speaker 1: if he had sex with the women that he met
- 12:48Speaker 1: through Epstein. Now, there's no The big myth of this
- 12:52Speaker 1: Epstein stuff was the underage girls. All the women were
- 12:56Speaker 1: grown ups and adults. Now, Epstein personally liked unders and
- 13:00Speaker 1: had a lot of them around and recruited a lot
- 13:03Speaker 1: of them. But that was just Epstein. And it looks
- 13:05Speaker 1: like Prince Andrew might have liked that too, so he
- 13:07Speaker 1: got involved. Maybe Epstein had a friend or two who
- 13:09Speaker 1: got involved in that. But ninety nine point nine percent
- 13:13Speaker 1: of these guys has nothing to do with young girls.
- 13:15Speaker 1: And for most of these guys, they were around Epstein
- 13:17Speaker 1: to get money, to get checks, to get donations. All
- 13:20Speaker 1: those college presidents and professors, they were getting donations, all
- 13:23Speaker 1: those world leaders, they were getting donations. But and the
- 13:27Speaker 1: guys that were getting women the Bill Gates, the bill
- 13:29Speaker 1: Clinton with older women. They weren't looking for underage girls.
- 13:32Speaker 1: So the myth is this underage stuff. So if they
- 13:35Speaker 1: bring that up, Clinton will probably put that to rest
- 13:39Speaker 1: pretty fast. Now, if they ask him if he ever
- 13:41Speaker 1: had sex with any of the women he met through Epstein.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I don't know. He's pretty good testifying, although you know
- 13:51Speaker 1: he's aged badly. He's aged a lot in molested years.
- 13:54Speaker 1: His handshake and his voice trembles. He's more than usual.
- 13:57Speaker 1: And they talk squiet, and he used to talk, So
- 14:01Speaker 1: I don't know now. Gallaine Maxwell would sleep with anybody anywhere, anytime,
- 14:08Speaker 1: that's all. She was happy to sleep with a lot
- 14:11Speaker 1: of people. So uh and Bill Clinton, the hound dog,
- 14:14Speaker 1: I'm sure sniff that out immediately. So I'm sure something
- 14:17Speaker 1: happened between him and Gallaine. And you see them late
- 14:21Speaker 1: at night in those swimming pools together, so I'm sure
- 14:25Speaker 1: they'll ask about that. Now. He can't deny knowing Epstein obviously,
- 14:30Speaker 1: because he was traveling all over the world with the guy.
- 14:32Speaker 1: He can't deny knowing Gallaine because he's in a million
- 14:35Speaker 1: pictures with her half naked in a swimming pool, so
- 14:38Speaker 1: in fact, ninety percent naked in a swimming pool. So
- 14:43Speaker 1: this could be interesting, although again he can be a
- 14:46Speaker 1: very very good witness at covering up. So we'll know
- 14:49Speaker 1: later today what happened with that, and we'll see, Hey,
- 14:55Speaker 1: we'll take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three
- 14:57Speaker 1: to two one zero sevent is the number eight hundred
- 15:01Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten. Hey, we're having this
- 15:05Speaker 1: big event. It's like an evening cocktail party with some
