1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone show

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: on seven or well, hey it's Friday.

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: A lot of stuff to get to. There's these fake news.

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: It's really cranked it up, faking fake fake stories. There's

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: a fake story out there about ice detained a five

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: year old child. We'll get to that. We'll get to

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: the jack Smith hearings. We'll get to how do you

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: say this, I can never know his name, Machmood Khalid

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: has been thrown out of the country. Get to that.

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: We'll get to Davos, Ukraine. Putin there's news. We'll get

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: to Greenland and more. Now, as far as the storm,

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: this is the first real, big, huge test of Mam

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: Donnie as mayor. This has happened in the past where

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: a new mayor came in I think with Lindsay and

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: as soon as he got there a major snowstorm and

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: he was unable to get the streets cleared, especially in

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: the outer boroughs, and it really hurt him. So we'll

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: see Mom Donnie has already got he's doing these press

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: conferences where he puts on the snow jacket, you know

20
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: the you know that field jacket, that windbreaker thing where

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: it says mayor on it. It's got a big logo

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: on the side. So now here's the good news. This

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: kind of stuff is usually handled by the director of

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: emergency Management. That's who's going to do this well. Luckily,

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: the director of Emerging Emergency Management, who's been there for years,

26
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: he is leaving. He gave his resignation, but he's got

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: two weeks left so he'll be there for this storm,

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: so he'll be handling it. And the team under him

29
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: is deputy emergency management. People are all pretty good, so

30
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 2: that's a good sign. Mam Donnie knows it's a big test,

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: so he'll rely on them. Let them do what they

32
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: have to do. The storm will start overnight Saturday, could

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: be as early as one am. Looks more now like

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: four am. The snow will start Saturday night four am

35
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: into Someday morning. It will snow all day Sunday. It

36
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: will not stop continuous snow all day Sunday Sunday night.

37
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 2: It'll end Monday morning. You might get a little return

38
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: to snows a couple of times in the afternoon. When

39
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: it's all over, it could be four to twelve inches.

40
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: There's about six different models you could use on this

41
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: that show every range from four to six four to

42
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: twelve most likely, six to eight inches most likely. And

43
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: now as far as school on Monday, I don't know.

44
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: Here in New York City, Director of Emergency Management says,

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: no decision has been made on school on Monday. They'll

46
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: make that decision over the weekend, and if they do

47
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: have to cancel school on Monday, it's not like the

48
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: good old days where when you had a snow day,

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: you had a snow day, you had a snow day,

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: you got to stay at home and watch game shows

51
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: on TV and that sort of stuff, and you got

52
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: to see the price is right that kind of stuff.

53
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: But nowadays, when there's a snow day, they go to

54
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: remote learning. They're gonna expect students to do the remote

55
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: learning like they did during the pandemic. Director of Emergency

56
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: Management says they are preparing for that, which means they

57
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: have to make sure that the server space and the

58
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: power they need, storage, all that bandwidth, all that is

59
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: up to speed. So they're working on that. But figure

60
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: nobody will go to work Monday. It'll be just now

61
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: here's the other thing, the snow all day Sunday. Let's

62
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: say there's six to eight inches. It's gonna be bitterly cold.

63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: The temperature will be like ten degrees twenty degrees. It's

64
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: not gonna melt, and it looks like the temperature will

65
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: stay way below freezing for most of the week. So

66
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: unlike other storms, there's going to be a long period

67
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: of days and days and days where the snow doesn't

68
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: go anywhere, just rock hard. And because it'll be freezing,

69
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: I got a big problem with ice, black ice, all

70
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. So most likely you'll not go

71
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: out Sunday. Sunday will be the storm, or Monday will

72
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: be a mess. You probably won't be able to go

73
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: to work or do anything as far as all the suburbs.

74
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: No word yet on the school closings, but it's gonna

75
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: be a mess. Now we had much bigger storms than

76
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: the snowstorms in the past. We haven't had a big

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: one like this in four years where we got you know,

78
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: six to eight inches. It could be me more, but

79
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: we'll see and again, sometimes it you know, it weakens,

80
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: it shifts. That's why the wide range of predictions now. Flights,

81
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: it doesn't look good. It looks like a lot of

82
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: flights may be canceled. You know, you cost your money.

83
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: You have to pay a fine or a fee to

84
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: switch flights. The airlines must of them have waived all

85
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: that you can switch your flight dates. I wouldn't be

86
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: flying anywhere on Sunday and Monday will probably be a

87
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: mess as well. So we'll see if they if they

88
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: get on top of this. The subways the awful MTA

89
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: director Jano Lieber saying they try, they're expecting it to run,

90
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: but there could be Remember the last big snowstorms, you

91
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: had some lines that had huge delay, So we'll see.

92
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: I went back. Somebody sent me this from nineteen ninety

93
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: one NBC News Jessica Savage remember her NBC Nightly News.

94
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: Whole story about global warming is so intense that by

95
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: the end of the nineties it'll be so warm we'll

96
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: never see snow again. This is all these climate change

97
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: people from way back then. Remember al Gore's movie An

98
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: Inconvenient Truth? When was that twenty years ago? Twenty three

99
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: years ago? Get the movie al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth.

100
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: That's the climate change movie where he told you all

101
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: the things that were going to happen, about the glacier

102
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: melting and the Beach would disappear. Watch the movie now,

103
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: it's hysterical. Every single thing he predicted never happened. In fact,

104
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 2: just the opposite happened. The glacier got bigger. No Beach, Erosi, nothing.

105
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: Just go watch it now and you'll just laugh and

106
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: laugh and laugh. The good news. On Sunday, you're gonna

107
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: have football. You'll be stuck in all day. You got

108
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: two big games Sunday. So that helps President Trump back

109
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 2: from back from Switzerland, back from Davos, which he normally

110
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: hates that it's a bunch of globalists talking about climate change.

111
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: But that's all changed now. The guy that ran Davos

112
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: for years is gone, left in scandal. Now it's run

113
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: by Larry Fink of a hedge fund, Blackrock. So it's

114
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: more what it's supposed to be, discussing the economy, foreign affairs,

115
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. Things between world leaders looks like,

116
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: looks like a lot of progress was made on the

117
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 2: Ukraine at Davos, Zelenski and Trump talked. And here's how

118
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: bad the fake news is. They never tell you what

119
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: the hell's going on. They only picked stories that fit

120
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: their narrative or that'll hurt Trump if there's anything good,

121
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: they never tell you about it. They keep it from you.

122
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: Great stuff happened as Ukraine Putin negotiating at Davos, and

123
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: last night Steve Witkoff met with Putin for hours and

124
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: hours and hours. The meeting didn't end till three in

125
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: the morning. This may be the first you're hearing about it,

126
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: because fake news will not report this because it looks good,

127
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: it looks like progress, so you'll never hear about it.

128
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: Looks like the President will stay in DC this weekend.

129
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: No mar A Lago. He is going to Iowa next week.

130
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: Now he's going to be doing this. It'll be kind

131
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: of like going on tour every week. He'll be in

132
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: a different part of the country speaking, doing a rally.

133
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: Part of the reason is they're putting out all these

134
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: fake polls about his poll numbers is the economy. You

135
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: saw a bunch of them yesterday. I think the Wall

136
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: Street journals summed them all up. But they're all fake poles.

137
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: If you look at the metrics, totally rigged forgot to

138
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: sample Republicans. It's basically they just sampled democrats. They didn't

139
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: use likely voters. They used what they call adults, which

140
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: means they can pick whoever they want. They can go

141
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: to a Harvard and do it in the faculty lounge

142
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: if they want so totally rig poles. Why do they

143
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: do it? Because it's a great way to bash Trump.

144
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: You put out all these fake poles, you get a

145
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: big prestigious newspaper to print them all, and then every

146
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: network news cast, everybody can say the President's poll numbers

147
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: are disastrous. The public has turned on. It's a great,

148
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: great way to start that lie going. And you've been

149
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: seeing major lies this week from the fake news. There's

150
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: been a story all over the place that these evil,

151
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: awful Ice people detained a five year old and they

152
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: show you the picture they're surrounding the five year old.

153
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: And this story's been all over the place. Could anything

154
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 2: look more cruel? These Ice agents show up to grab

155
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: a five year old, this little innocent kid with the

156
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: Ice agents. What a horrible thing. Now, this has been

157
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: all over the place, the fake news, the networks, the

158
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: New York Tays, all these people failed to report the

159
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: actual story. They had a warrant for an illegal alien,

160
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: a real criminal. They had a warrant to arrest him.

161
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: They went to get him. They see him there. He's

162
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: with a five year old kid. That's this I guess

163
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: it's his kid. Apparently it is his kid. His five

164
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: year old is with him. The guy sees the ICE agents,

165
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: he turns and runs and abandons the five year old,

166
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 2: just leaves him there. He runs from Ice, takes off, vanishes,

167
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: leaving the five year old. Can you imagine that. I mean,

168
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: you don't want to get arrested by ICE if you're

169
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 2: an illegal alien criminal, but abandoning your five year old.

170
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: So he runs off. They go chase the guy, but

171
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: of course some of the ICE agents remain to protect

172
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: the kid, and one of them is, you know, holding

173
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 2: the kid, make sure the kid's okay. That's the real story.

174
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: They failed to report that. The other fake story they've

175
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: been putting out is ICE agents arrested an American citizen,

176
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: an actual full citizen, an America citizen was arrested by ICE. Well,

177
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: they forget to tell you the rest of the story.

178
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: When Ice they had a guy who turned out it

179
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: was a citizen, but when they stopped the question and

180
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: he got into a fight and he punched the ICE

181
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: agent in the face, they forget to report that part. Now,

182
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: no matter what's going on. If you punch a law

183
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: enforcement officer in the face, you're getting arrested. Traffic stop.

184
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: But whatever it is. Even if you were totally innocent

185
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: and you just got mad, you got stopped, and you

186
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: punched the officer in the face, you're getting arrested. It's

187
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: that simple. But of course, fake news just unbelievably busy

188
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: trying to hurt Trump. Hard to run a democracy when

189
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 2: you don't have actual media going. So Jack Smith testified yesterday.

190
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: It looked pretty bad for Jack Smith, pretty bad. A

191
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: lot of people were curious why he was so nervous.

192
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: He was nervous, he was squirming, And one of the

193
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: reasons is to do the dirty stuff that he does.

194
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: The dirty work requires a lot of secrecy. And this

195
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: guy has been doing this for years. He's a hit

196
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: man who goes after political rivals, charges them like crazy.

197
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: He gets them convicted of a million things. He's done

198
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: it nine other times with Republicans, and all nine times

199
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: the cases were tossed out when it went to the

200
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: higher courts. And in the case of the Virginia Governor MacDonald,

201
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court throughout all the charges and wrote in

202
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: the decision this was all clearly politically motivated. That's this

203
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: guy's history. So why was he squirming and so nervous.

204
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: He's not used to operating in the spotlight. He's used

205
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: to operating in the shadows. To do what he does

206
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: requires hiding in the shadows. That's why he was so nervous.

207
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: It was funny watching his testimony. He just they had

208
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: a million things to get him on. In every case,

209
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: he just claimed he did not recall. He couldn't recall.

210
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: I don't recall. I don't remember even when they asked him.

211
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: There was some funny business went on to make him

212
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: this special prosecutor. Because if if you needed a special counsel,

213
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: there's about twelve hundred guys in Washington perfectly qualified. Why

214
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: did they go halfway around the world to the Hague

215
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: to bring this guy in? Because he's a longtime hit man.

216
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: But it was there was some suspicion about how he

217
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: got sworn in, how he got so when they asked

218
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: him about it, he claimed not to remember. Even when

219
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: they asked him when he got sworn in or who

220
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: swore him in, he claimed he didn't remember, he couldn't recall.

221
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: He then targeted all kinds of Republicans, including the Speaker

222
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: of the House. He tapped his phone. He did surveillance

223
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: on the Speaker of the House. Nobody knows why, but

224
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: to get the warrant, he had to write up a

225
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: thing to the judge and they found this, and apparently

226
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: in the declaration, Jack Smith said he believed the Speaker

227
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: of the House might be a flight risk. Can you

228
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: imagine that it was Kevin McCarthy at the time, He's

229
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: the Speaker of the House. Smith told the judge he's

230
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: possibly a flight risk. This is one dirty, sleazy guy.

231
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: When they went after Trump for January sixth, in the

232
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: hearings yesterday, his whole argument was that Trump kept saying

233
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 2: the election was rigged. It was rigged, it was rigged,

234
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: it was rigged. It was that kind of talk that

235
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 2: led to the protests at the Capitol and the trespassing

236
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: and all that. So a couple of senators asked him, well,

237
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen was screaming all over the

238
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 2: place the election was stolen, it was rigged. Russia stole it,

239
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: Trump stole it, it was rigged. How come that's not

240
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 2: the same thing. Smith refused to answer that question, couldn't

241
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 2: answer it. Hey, Trump is Donald Trump is forming the

242
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: Board of Peace. One of the first task is fixed

243
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: the situation in Israel, Gaza. All of that. The Board

244
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: of Peace a lot of top world leaders, business people.

245
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: Trump has been named the chairman.

246
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: This board has the chance to be one of the

247
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 3: most consequential bodies ever created.

248
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: My enormous honor to serve as its chairman. It was

249
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 4: very honored when they asked me to do it.

250
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course it's his board, it's his board members.

251
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: That's why they asked him. But he's the perfect guy

252
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: to do it. The plan for Gaza, once you get

253
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: everything settled, is to turn it's on the water, as

254
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: Trump would say, it's waterfront property. He's a real estate guy.

255
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: This is waterfront property. He wants to turn it into

256
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: a booming a metropolis with skyscrapers and everything in the world,

257
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: money everywhere, money flowing in booming economy. Thinks that'll be

258
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: the answer to this.

259
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: I'm a real estate person at hearsh and it's all

260
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: about location. And I said, look at this location on

261
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property. What

262
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: it could be for so many people. It'll be so great.

263
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: People that are living so poorly are going to be

264
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: living so well.

265
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you Palestinians, you're gonna get a Starbucks, You're gonna

266
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: get a Chipotle. You're gonna be very happy if you

267
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: play your cards right, and in an out burger. It's

268
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: going to be quite a place. If not, maybe just

269
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: a shake shack. But now, one reason for this Board

270
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: of Peace. Normally this would be the United Nations. But

271
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: for about fifty years, the United Nations has been the

272
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: absolute most useless organization. Does absolutely nothing. It's basically a

273
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: VIP lounge for dictators and communists. And Trump was asked about.

274
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 4: It, We'll do it in conjunction with the United Nations.

275
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: You know, I've always said the United Nations has got

276
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 3: tremendous potential.

277
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 4: Has not used it.

278
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: But this tremendous potential in the United Nations.

279
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, a little competition will be good for them. Hey. Also,

280
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,359
Speaker 2: we're no longer in the World Health Organization. It's a shady, sleazy,

281
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: corrupt organization. The World Health Organization, the United States is

282
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: officially pulled out. It was basically controlled and run by

283
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: communist China. The head of it was a Marxist. It

284
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: was a bad, bad organization. So let China have it.

285
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: We'll still operate when we need to, still work with

286
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: them when we when we need to. But otherwise we're

287
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: not we're not part of it. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.

288
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the

289
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:16,160

Speaker 2: Mark?

298
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 6: You know I'm a long time listener. I in fact,

299
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 6: I was a listener before uh, you even got on

300
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 6: the radio because I was driving to town taxi when

301
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 6: you were going to Lead School Emerson. In any case, I.

Speaker 4: I was.

00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: I went to Emerson. It's a college in Boston.

Speaker 2: I was on the radio then. I was on the

309
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: radio when I was in college.

310
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 6: Oh, you're kidding me. We didn't have I didn't even

311
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 6: own a radio.

312
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: Sound like a really progressive guy.

313
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 6: I have a question for you. Yes, what is the

314
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 6: three most effective words in advertising? I'm also a buyer,

315
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 6: you know, so.

316
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: I would assume one is free. No, well, wait a minute,

317
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 2: we're trusting you to have this right. What are they?

318
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 6: Oh, let me get let me just answer it.

319
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: Well, you got to answer it now because we're going

320
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 2: to be off the phone in about ten seconds.

321
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 6: Rinse and repeat.

322
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: Okay, great, I knew this was going to be a

323
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: waste of time. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,

324
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: how you doing.

325
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark, Yes, I had a snatch a question

326
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 4: for you.

327
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 6: I know when he made movies he was pretty adamant

328
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 6: about sort of one take to take at the most

329
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 6: and he would begun.

330
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 4: But in the studio he seemed to be very very fastidious,

331
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 4: and he would do, you know, tons of takes on on.

332
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: Yes, there was a reason for that. The reason was

333
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: he was the most skilled musician in the world. He was,

334
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: as the great critic once said, like on a Mozartian level.

335
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 2: He was like Mozart, like somebody that comes along in

336
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 2: music once every couple hundred years. He was so skilled

337
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: in the studio, take after take after take, to get

338
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: it perfect. But when it came to acting in movies,

339
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: he was an unbelievable natural actor. He knew he wasn't

340
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: a skilled professional actor. He was just a natural actor.

341
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 2: So he knew he couldn't do multiple takes and get

342
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: it right. His only shot was very natural, get it right,

343
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: you know, just make it real. He couldn't do repeat takes.

344
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 2: By the way. He in the first major albums in

345
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: the fifties, he would do seventy five one hundred takes.

346
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: But he he noticed he was burning out the musicians.

347
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 4: That I was going to ask, like, what would you know?

348
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 4: How did the musicians go? I mean, they're working with

349
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 4: the greatest, So of course I'm sure you didn't quite too.

350
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: I've got you under my skin. That famous saxophone solo,

351
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: he said, when you got to take twenty seven, the

352
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: guy wasn't as good on his solo. So he realized,

353
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 2: with musicians, you can only do about ten twelve takes.

354
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: That's it. Very good question, Mike. Let's go to Jack

355
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 2: in New Jersey. Jack, how you doing.

356
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing fine, Mark, Thanks, first time. Coler have been

357
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: listening to you for a while. Two things I would

358
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: like to see is The first one is like, you

359
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: need a Nick Shirley type of a person out there

360
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: to confront one of these protesters, like up in Minneapolis

361
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: to the ICE protesters and say how many of your

362
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: neighbors would be interested in coming out if the shoes

363
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: on the other foot and you were in trouble with

364
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: the law. How many you think it would be out there?

365
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: Well known? Sounds like the most riveting programming, But I

366
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 2: get what you're saying, we need more Nick Shirley's He's

367
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: the guy that exposed the Somali fraud. You know. I'm

368
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: up to nineteen billion of that fraud there in Minnesota.

369
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: And you're right, need Nick Shirley everywhere. Need them in

370
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: New York, need them all over the place. Let's go

371
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: to Vincent and Brooklyn.

372
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 5: Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, Mark. I'm okay.

373
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 5: I just wanted to clarify what happened to me with

374
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 5: the tariffs yesterday. I only had like ten seconds. I'm

375
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 5: not against the tariffs on the big corporations who cheat

376
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 5: American workers, who place massive tariffs on us. I'm just

377
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 5: talking about these Pettieri tariffs that, as I said, a

378
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 5: woman sent me a Christmas gift for sixty seven dollars.

379
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 5: And I even called up ups yesterday to get the

380
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 5: calculation how they tabulated the tariffs, the tariffs and fees

381
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 5: for me to get a package that I already owned

382
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 5: because she paid for it was ninety seven and fifty cents.

383
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 5: And I also heard on Jimmy Fayler's show the other night,

384
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 5: the call in section after ten a lot of small

385
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 5: businessmen were talking about the same thing. And all I'm

386
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 5: saying is is that Trump needs to have his people

387
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 5: retweet this because over the summer, when this woman came

388
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 5: to stay at my.

389
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: House, doesn't stay at your house? What was this all about?

390
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 5: Well, she actually came with her husbands. No, weirder, Well,

391
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 5: I leant to one of my apartments.

392
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: Well, Vincent, don't worry that that teriff's eventually go away.

393
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 5: Well, unfortunately it is hurting some little people.

394
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, no it does. But frankly I know. But Vincent,

395
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: we get the same exact thing from Democrats. They'll tear

396
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 2: if you even more. They just call it corporate tax.

397
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 5: So but tell me, what how am I supposed to

398
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 5: feel about this?

399
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 2: Not great? But again, the tariffs go away eventually, But

400
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: when the Democrats are in power, they'll they'll put huge

401
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: time by Vincent. We got to go to do the news. Well,

402
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: when we come back, Roger Friedman will be with us

403
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 2: next lots of we'll talk to him about the Oscar

404
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 2: nominations and a whole lot more coming up on seven

405
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: to ten w R.

406
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 4: Mister New York Mark Simone on seven ten wo R.

407
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 2: Well Entertainment reporter Roger Friedman. He runs the great website

408
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 2: showbiz for one one dot com. A lot of good stories,

409
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: new stuff every day, Showbiz for one one dot com.

410
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: Roger Friedman, How you doing?

411
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 4: I'm great. How are you this morning?

412
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 2: I'm good. Hey. Oscar nominations came out this week. What

413
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 2: do you what do you think?

414
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 4: Well? I think they were there were too many surprises.

415
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 4: There were things I was happy about. The big snub

416
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 4: was Wicked. The second Wicked movie got nothing.

417
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 2: Why is that?

418
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: Well? Because I think the Academy thought they got a

419
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 4: lot last year and that's enough already, and it was

420
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 4: basically the same movie. So Arian the Grande's fans were

421
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 4: very upset that she wasn't nominated for Best Supporting Actress,

422
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 4: but she you know, she did well at the Golden Globe,

423
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 4: and I think that was appropriate. We have a lot

424
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 4: of great nominees. I'm really excited about Ethan Hawke being

425
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 4: nominated Best Actor for Blue Moon, which is just a

426
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 4: terrific little film, and of course Timothy Challomey and Leonardo

427
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 4: DiCaprio are in that. But the big news is that

428
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 4: Sinners has really built up a following. They had sixteen nominations,

429
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 4: the most ever for any movie.

430
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: Wow, why is that that good?

431
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you haven't seen it.

432
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 2: No, I see one movie every ten years.

433
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 4: Sinners is Actually it's an interesting movie because it's sort

434
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 4: of like a vampire movie in a way. It's a

435
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 4: horror film, but it's not a horror film. It's a

436
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 4: film about social studies sort of. And music gorgeous R

437
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 4: and B and blues music from Tennessee, from Memphis, and

438
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 4: it's it's just a great, great film. And Michael B.

439
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 4: Jordan plays two parts in it and he was nominated

440
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 4: for he plays the twin brothers and he was nominated

441
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 4: for Best Actor, and they got del Roy Lindo was

442
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 4: nominated for Best Supporting Actor at seventy three. It's his

443
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 4: first nomination ever and he's such a fabulous actor. So

444
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 4: I think that Sinners may be a spoiler when we

445
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 4: get to the actual show.

446
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: What about my favorite movie, Marty Supreme.

447
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 4: Marty Supreme did very well and Timothy Challamy is nominated

448
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 4: for playing Marty, and I think he's probably going to win.

449
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 4: So your old friend Marty can be very proud from

450
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 4: the grave that things have worked out so well for

451
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 4: that movie, which is now at about seventy five million dollars,

452
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: which is pretty good.

453
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, but what about Best Picture? You don't think

454
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: it'll win Best Picture?

455
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 4: No, I think it's either one Battle after another, which

456
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 4: is sort of my choice. I lean toward that or

457
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 4: Sinners one or the other. The other great movie is Hamnet,

458
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 4: but I think that these other two are going to

459
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 4: overwhelm it.

460
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, how many people of what percentage actually still

461
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: goes to a movie theater rather than streaming, actually goes

462
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 2: and sits in the theater and watches movies.

463
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 4: Now you know what it's the box office is way

464
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: up from last year. I think people found a lot

465
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 4: of these movies very, very enjoyable and have made an

466
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 4: effort to go to theater, which is interesting because people

467
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 4: were saying, oh, theaters are over. You know, Netflix is

468
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 4: going to buy Warner Brothers and then they're going to

469
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: put all their movies on Netflix. But no, actually the

470
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 4: box office is up year to year.

471
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, And if you haven't been to a theater

472
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: while many of them now they have these reclining leather seats.

473
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 2: They got great seats, liquor licenses, they got more food, candy, waiters, waitresses.

474
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: It's pretty good.

475
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 4: I have to be careful about that because if I

476
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 4: get into that reclining seat, if fall asleep immediately, well,

477
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 4: but it.

478
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: Does make a difference.

479
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 4: But but but it's really it's good, and it's good. Now.

480
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 4: Of course we're going to have Milania Trump's movie opening

481
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 4: pretty soon.

482
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 2: Hey, let me ask you something about that. It was

483
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 2: done by Brett Ratner, the big Hollywood producer. Wasn't he

484
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: kind of blacklisted? Wasn't he me tooed out of Hollywood?

485
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: How does he get back in action?

486
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 4: He got back into action because nobody else want met

487
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 4: to direct this movie.

488
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: And still it's Amazon. Why would they get involved with

489
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: this guy?

490
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: No, I don't know. I mean, I like Brett, I

491
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 4: know him a long time, We've been friends for years.

492
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 4: But I do worry about his association with this Also,

493
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 4: as I've been reporting, there's almost been no advanced sale

494
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 4: for this movie. No one is buying tickets. And it

495
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 4: was very funny. For some reason, on the website for

496
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 4: the movie, it came up that I could choose buying

497
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 4: seats in Dixon City, Pennsylvania. Did you ever hear Dixon

498
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 4: City Company?

499
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: I could see you there. I think it'd fit right in.

500
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 4: I've never heard of it before. Let's be honest, Sanson.

501
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: Let's be honest. I would guess you don't own a

502
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 2: Maga hat.

503
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 4: I don't own a Maga hat. But red is not

504
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 4: my color. And also the hats never look good on me.

505
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 4: Even the Yankee hats still look good on me. Hey,

506
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 4: just I can't make it work.

507
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 2: Speaking of documentary, tell us about because this is one

508
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward. Tell us about the mel Brooks documentary.

Speaker 4: and it had three kids from the first marriage, and

518
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 4: he was working on your show of shows, and he

519
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: was trying to make a living, and he was having

520
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 4: a lot of trouble, and then, you know, and then

Speaker 4: sixty eight got him an oscar for the screenplay, and

523
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,800

Speaker 4: to watch him because he's so you just love him

531

Speaker 4: when you see him and you think about this terrible

556
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 4: Potter has been around for several years. It started out

557
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 4: as two plays with an intermission, then they combined it

558
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 4: into one play. It's never really been a success. But

559
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 4: Tom Felton, who played a part in the Harry Potter movies,

560
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 4: is in the play now and the play has taken

561
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 4: off and gone up like a million dollars a week

562

00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 4: Curse Child. And it's definitely I remember it from the opening.

567
