  Speaker 1: Mister New York marks them upon seven to ten wor.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, we'll get to the Grammy Awards coming up.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Scott Shannon will be with us a little later on
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: this hour. We'll get to President Trump's weekend. You know,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: there's a partial government shutdown in effect right now.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: What they did was they separated. They voted to fund
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: everything except Department of Homeland Security. Now, if you don't
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: fund Department of Homeland Security, well there's a lot of
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: stuff in there. The TSA is in that Secret Service,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: all of that's in there. So the effect is all
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: services continue, some of the workers not getting paid. They
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: expect to have that settled. I don't know by Wednesday.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: This partial government shutdown. Reason, you have to mention the
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: government shutdown. Otherwise nobody would notice because nothing really really changes.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: The Clintons might have a big legal problem. They are
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: called to testify with a subpoena. They were called to
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: testify in front of Congress and they didn't show up.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: They refuse to answer the subpoena. That's a crime. It's criminal.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: You can go to prison for it. Just ask Steve
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Bannon or Peter Navarro. People have been sent to jail
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: for that the Clintons didn't care they did it, and
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: now they've going to be held in contempt at Congress.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: They are in contempt to Congress, but Congress has to
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: vote on whether to demand the Justice Department arrest the Clintons.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: The vote will take place probably tomorrow. Here's the problem
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: for the Clintons. The Democrats will vote to go after
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: the Clintons. Most of these young Democrats do not have
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: any regard for Bill or Hillary Clinton. These are old
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: dinosaurs from another era. In fact, in the first round
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: of voting to hold them in contempt, about eight Democrats
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: voted to go after the Clintons. So they're going to
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: have the same problem. And Hakim Jefferys refuses to get
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: involved in this vote. He's supposed to be the Democratic
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: leader in the House. He could try to do something
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: to help the Clintons, but he's kind of made it
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: clear he's not gonna do it. He thinks it's a
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: losing cause and he doesn't want to ruin his reputation
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: losing this battle. So it looks like the Clintons will
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: be in serious legal jeopardy unless they settle this, negotiate
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: some kind of settlement. So Democrats privately urging the Clintons
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: negotiate something because we'll vote against you. Interesting the Democrats,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: many of them, have no interest in helping Bill or
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton anymore. So watch for that to happen tomorrow.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: It's got to happen by Wednesday, or the Clintons are
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: in big legal trouble. Now, why do you have ICE
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: running around chasing after this book, Because you've got a
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: lot of illegals who are dangerous criminals who if Ice
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: doesn't come get him, local authorities will do nothing about him.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Here's a perfect example right here in New York City.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Here's an illegal alien who's a dangerous criminal, crack smoking,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: sexual predator. He's been wanted by ICE, but he gets
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: picked up all the time in Manhattan on all kinds
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: of crimes. He was taken into a Manhattan courthouse last week.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Now listen to this. Gerardo Miguel Mora, forty five years old.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: He was arrested last Thursday for shoplifting, possession of stolen property,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: went in and robbed a store. Now that's Thursday, but
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: earlier in the month he was arrested for a possession
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: of crack cocaine. Before that, he was arrested for rape,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: attempted rape, and strangulation. He followed a twenty one year
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: old woman home, choked her, tried to take a clothes off.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Police got him. He was presumably deported after that, but
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: suddenly showed up in the country again. He's basically a
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: career criminal. He's a really, really bad criminal, and Ice
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: has been after him. But he gets hauled into court
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: for the shoplifting he had caught robbing the store. So
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: this is a Manhattan courtroom. It's Judge Sheridan jack Brown,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: a Democrat. She won a special election in Brooklyn last year.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: She decides to let the guy go. This is typical
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: of New York City. Criminal caught in a crime, got
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: a big, long record, big rap sheet. She decides just
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: to let him go. The get word in the courtroom
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: that Ice is waiting for this guy. The judge says,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: take him out the back, so Ice can't. The Ice
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: is waiting out front to grab the guy when he
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: comes out, so she had them open up the back
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: door and let him sneak out the back to avoid Ice.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: This is what you're dealing with in the middle of Manhattan.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Ice figured out that they let him go out the back.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: They chased the guy down. They eventually caught him. But
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: that's what you're dealing with. That's why you have to
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: have ICE do this. Local authorities will just let these
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: guys go. This guy would have committed another crime in
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: a few weeks. Be back in court, be let go again.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Ice has him, they'll remove him, take him out of
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: the country. That's the good news. Now. President Trump went
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: to Palm Beach this weekend. Normally he leaves Friday afternoon,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: He's in Palm Beach by dinnertime Friday, and he comes
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: back on Sunday night. This time he's only in Palm
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Beach for one day, just for Sunday. It was for
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: a wedding. Dan Scavino, big longtime part of the Trump administration,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: married at mar Lago. Everybody in the Trump administration went
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: down there for the wedding. But the reason the President
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: stayed is Saturday night, he went to something he never
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: goes to. You know, they got these big events every
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: year in Washington, DC. There's the White House Press Corps Dinner,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: you know that correspondence dinner. They call that like the
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: nerd prom that's a big event. And there's the Kennedy
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Center Honors. That's a big event. Everybody in Washington goes
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: that every year. Speaking of which, the Kennedy Center is
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: going to close for two years. President Trump master Builder,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: after inspecting the Kennedy Center, said it's totally dilapidated. It's
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: in total disrepair. It needs to be fixed top to bottom.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna close it for two years and fix it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: But getting back to this big dinners, this is only
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: a handful of bit It's not like New York. In
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: New York, there's like three major events every night. Washington,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: d C. There's like four major events a year. But
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: the biggest of them all and it's the least known,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: it's very very quiet. It's the Alfalfa Dinner. This is
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: actually the biggest, most prestigious night in Washington, d C.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Every year. Now the Correspondence Dinner, it's a million people
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: in a ballroom. It's every idiot from it's Jim Acosta,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Don Lemon type idiots. The Alfalfa Dinner, that's the private,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: very very very prestigious one. It's in the Hilton every year.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: The Alfalfa Club is like the skull and Bones of Washington, DC.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: You can't just join it. You have to be invited
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: to join real, real, real inside swamp, real deep state stuff.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: The bushes are in the Alfalfa Society. Very few people
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: make it into there. It's very very elite inside d C. Washington.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: So when Trump first got elected in twenty sixteen, all
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: these Alfalfa people would say to me, I don't know
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: if we're gonna like it. I don't know if we're
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: gonna he's gonna be I don't know if he's going
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: to get a good reception at the Alfalfa dinner. And
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I used to say to I don't think he's coming
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: to you stupid dinner. And sure enough, he didn't come
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: the first year, and they're all grumbling to me. No
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: president has ever refused to come to it. No president
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: has ever not come to an Alfalfa well. For four years,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: he never went because he knew what these real old,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: inside elite swamp people thought of him. But this year
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: he decided to go. It's a whole new world now
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Trump has decided to take them on. So he showed
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: up at the Alfalfa dinner. It's kind of a roast.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're supposed to make jokes there, but it's
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: a very exclusive club. He sees Mitt Romney and he's
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: got some great jokes about Romney. But he mentions Mitt
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Romney and asked him to stand up, and Romney gets
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: like a standing ovation. Remember it's these kind of people,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: these old kind of Ivy League, skull and Bones type.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: They love Romney. They give him an incredible ovation. So
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: then Trump said, I guess I better not do these jokes.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Now I can see what you're thinking. Well, I'm gonna
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: have to throw out these jokes and not do them.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: But he went for the first time ever. It lasts
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: about four hours. There's only two hundred members of this
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: very exclusive club. Jeb Bush is there, George Bush was there.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: It's that kind of a dinner and the Marine band plays.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: It's not the most exciting dinner. And actually, if you
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: look at the way it started, it was originally formed
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: by a bunch of Southerners at the Willard Hotel in
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Washington to celebrate the birthday of Robert E. Lee, the
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Confederate General. And in fact, remember William Rehnquist, the Chief
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Justice to the Supreme Court. When he had his Senate
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Judiciary hearing to get nominated to be the Chief Justice.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: They went after him for being a member of the
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Alfalfa Club, but he defended it in the hearings, saying,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I go there at a meet once a year and
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: listen to patriotic music and hears some funny political speeches.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Let's see nineteen eighty four. Bill Clinton did boycott it once. Actually,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Bill Clinton boycotted it one year. This is such an
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: old old world club that women were not allowed in
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: the club until like nineteen ninety four. And I guess
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: they finally let him in because Bill Clinton refused to
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: go until they let women in. But it's interesting Trump
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: decided to go this weekend just to go into the
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: lions Den and talk to them. Hey, Mayor, Mom Donnie
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: has appointed somebody to run the Department of Corrections, an
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: ex convict, somebody who had been in jail. He's now
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: in charge the jail. That's Mom. Donnie was very proud
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: of this. Stanley Richards will become the first formerly incarcerated
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: person to lead the city's Department of Corrections. Mam Donnie
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: talking about it like it's an incredible breakthrough. I don't
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: know what's a breakthrough. I mean, what's so great about that?
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: And if a guy came to you in a job
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: interview and you look at the resume by see here
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: you were in prison. That's very good. What a good resume.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Normally you'd not get a job for that. If you
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: walk around Manhattan, the sidewalks are pretty good. I was
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: in the suburbs this weekend and bad, really bad. The
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: sidewalks are. All they did was clear, like a little
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: path through the sidewalk. Here Manhattan Roads sidewalks all totally clear.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: There are snow piles at the curb. And the other
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: problem is there's garbage, massive piles of garbage. Sanitation department
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: not picking up garbage for a week. I don't know why.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I guess they're busy with snowroom or something. But it
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: looks pretty bad.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Mayor Mom, Donnie so I asked New Yorkers please check
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in on your neighbors, especially older adults, New Yorkers with disabilities,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and those without access to reliable heat. This is one
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of the longest, most sustained cold stretches our city has
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: endured in years, and it is showing no signs of abating.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: That's what they call a code blue. Although it's going
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: to hit maybe thirty two today and maybe thirty three
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: tomorrow and Wednesday. That could start a little thawing. But
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: we've never had it stave this cold this long in
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a million years. Mayor Mom. Donnie also getting a lot
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: of flak because he told all the departments, police, everybody else,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: don't take the homeless off the street, don't bother them.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Unless it's a medical emergency. You're not allowed to remove
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the homeless. So the death hole keeps increasing there now
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: fourteen dead, fourteen dead because he left them out on
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: the street. Fourteen. That's a lot of dead bodies. All
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: he had to do was in previous administration, they would
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: just force you to go to the shelter when it
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: got to you know, windshill of minus five, they'd make
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: you go to the shelter. But Mom, don I don't
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: know what he thinks that. When ten died, you think
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: you'd change your mind on that, But fourteen have died.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: You know the problem with these the celebrities that threaten
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: to leave the country if Trump is elected, they never
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: keep the promise. He said, Well, Rosie O'Donnell, Allen DeGeneres
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: moved out of the country. She's back. Look at this,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: she's buying a house in California, Montecito. She was looking
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: at a thirty five million dollar mansion beach front. And
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: you know, she already has a house in Montecito, twenty
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: seven million dollar house. She's buying another one down the street,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: a thirty five million dollar house. So it looks like
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: she's coming back. Apparently you cannot get rid of these people.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Now you're saying, how does she have that much money?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: That's like sixty five million in real estate right there. Well,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: the most the highest paying thing you can do is
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: have a daytime syndicated talk show. You know, if you're
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: the host of a big TV show, if you're Johnny Carson,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: you can make twenty million a year. If you're David
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Letterman in his heyday, you could make twenty thirty million
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: a year. If you got a daytime syndicated show where
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: you have a piece of the ownership of the show.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: When you're syndicated on TV, you know, like an Oprah.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: That kind of show, you can make a couple hundred
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: million a year, and it's the most lucrative thing there is.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: That's why Oprah got to be a billionaire. That's why
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Donna Hughe, who is really the first big, big daytime
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Syndicate show retired with like five six hundred million, So
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Allen DeGeneres was like the you know, the Merv Griffin
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Mike Douglass of the eighties and nineties and our nineties
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: and two thousands, but probably retired with three four hundred
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: million bucks as a result. So she's back. Hey, Harry
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Styles coming to Madison Square Garden will be the next
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: big residency. Billy Joel once a month for many years,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: but Harry Styles is going to do thirty shows, thirty
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: in like a two month period. No nobody's ever Billy
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Joel was once a month. That's twelve shows a year.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: This guy's so big He's going to do thirty thirty
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: over the summer in just two months. And ticket I'm
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: looking at the ticket prices three hundred and fifty to
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: six hundred bucks, so that's like six million a show.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: They'll take in six million a show and probably usually
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: another five hundred thousand just in the lobby on merchandise.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Five hundred thousand and merchandise before the show even starts.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: So gonna make a fortune this year. Hey, we'll take
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: some calls next eight hundred three two one zero seven
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: ten is the number eight hundred three two one zero
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: seven ten
