1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark Simone Show on seven wo on. Well,

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: we'll get to Kathy Hockel. The State of the State

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: speech did not impress anybody. We'll get to President Trump.

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: We'll get to Iran, We'll get to Kamala Harris. We'll

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: get to Mom Donnie, who turns out and out to

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: be a great texting buddy with Donald Trump. It said

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: that they text a few times a week. At least

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: twice a week they text. It's a bromance that has blossomed.

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: They discuss a wide range of topics. Lately they have

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: discussed Venezuela, zoning, red tape in the Big Apple, real

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: estate and now why does Trump like to take Well,

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: he'll talk to anybody. He'll talk You could be his

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: worst enemy. You could be the New York Times. You

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: could be Bill Maher. He'll bring you right into the

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: White House, sit down with you, talk to you. Could

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 2: be the awful, evil, deceptive, corrupt sixty minutes, he'll sit

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: down with you again and talk to you. Does it

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: all the time. And in the case of Mom Donnie,

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: he is the mayor of New York, so he does

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: have a lot of power over New York real estate

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: where Trump has a huge steak, and they you know,

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: it's like that old godfather, keep your enemies closer, kind

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: of a kind of a deal. Sources say, Mom Donnie

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: is not kissing his rear end, but speaking out to

26
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: Trump on his beliefs. Now, of course Trump kind of

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: rolling his eyes as he texts back the budding relationship.

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: The regularity of the texting are a big departure from

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: previous interactions between presidents and New York City, and that

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: might be part of it. Trump realizing he made a

31
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: mistake just avoiding Deblasio. You should try to just keep

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: talking to him, keep the door open and try to

33
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: work with him, try to persuade him. You never know,

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: And remember, Mom Donnie is just a little kid. He's

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: a little thirty four year old guy Trump, a senior

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: veteran who's been everywhere, done everything Mom Donnie, who's never

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: even had a job, never done much of anything in life.

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 2: So he could become some sort of mentor in a

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 2: way to Mom Donnie. Now they say he's also he's

40
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: kind of fascinated by the whole Mom Donnie's story. He

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: feels kind of an emotional connection to what Mom Donnie

42
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: did in that it's similar to Trump. Trump was a

43
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: guy who came out of nowhere politically. I mean, he

44
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: was a very successful business guy, but no political experience

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: of any kind. And usually if you're a business guy

46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: who wants to get into politics, heh, you run for Congress,

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: maybe you run for Senate. We've had some business guys

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: run for mayor, run for governor, but for a business

49
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: guy out of nowhere to run for president, it's really unusual.

50
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: The most successful before that was Ross Perrault, but that

51
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: was a third party candidate. But to have a business

52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 2: guy with no political experience come out of nowhere get

53
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: the Republican nomination, and to do so had to defeat

54
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: the Bush machine and the Clinton machine to get the nomination,

55
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: it's pretty impressive. So I think he kind of sees

56
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie as really having to accomplished something impressive. A

57
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: guy with no job, no experience, no resume of any kind,

58
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: just a fast talker, talk his way into the nomination,

59
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: wipe out Andrew Cuomo in two debates to get the nomination,

60
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: wipe out everybody in the general, and win. So I

61
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: can understand that just wanting to keep his keep his

62
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: hands on the Mam Donnie there. But maybe something something

63
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: good might come out of this. Maybe Trump can persuade

64
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: him on certain things. Now. President Trump has also said

65
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: sanctuary cities and states will have their federal funds cut

66
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: off on February first. That can be devastating for states

67
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: and cities depend on federal money for transit, for mass transit,

68
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: for all kinds of things. It could even affect the Medicaid,

69
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: food stamps, all that sort of stuff. Twelve states really

70
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: good to have a problem. California, Illinois, New York, a

71
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: bunch of the nation's ten largest cities could have their

72
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: funds cut off. Now New York is a perfect candidate

73
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 2: for that because of Kathy Hokle. That's stupid state of

74
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: the State of the State speech that she made yesterday,

75
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 2: which everybody thought was just awful, just nothing. She just

76
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: wants to get reelected. That's her only goal to get

77
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: re elected in November. So she just threw out all

78
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: the focus grouped buzzwords in her state of the state,

79
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: you know, affordability, just rattled off all the affordability stuff

80
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: except childcare, groceries, utility bills, parents, veterans, disabled seniors, they

81
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: all need relief. She kept talking about how bad things were,

82
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: everybody needs relief, how it's so awful and something's got

83
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: to be okay. Now, this could be a nice political speech,

84
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: but the problem is Bruce Blakeman, who's a much better

85
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 2: talker than Kathy Hogel, far more qualified to be governor

86
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: than Kathy Ogel. His response was simple, if you listen

87
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: to her speech, you'd think she was not the governor.

88
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: You'd think she was just elected today. She's been the

89
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: governor for over four years. You know, by the time

90
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: it's election time, she'll have been the governor five years.

91
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: So if you're going to complain about all this stuff,

92
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: the argument is, why would anybody vote for you if

93
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: it's that bad. This is after five years of you

94
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: being governor, so everybody should get rid of you. So

95
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: that's the problem Hokeel faces. They have a very tough

96
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: time against Blakeman. It's her fifth State of the State

97
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: speech as governor. She'll now campaign all over the place.

98
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: She spent a lot of the speech bashing Trump, throwing

99
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: red meat to the blue state electorate. But a lot

100
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: of these issues, you know, especially with ice and illegals,

101
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people want some and done about this.

102
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: They just don't want it to go on the way

103
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: it is. Also, not everybody thinks ice is that bad. Yeah,

104
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: once in a while they might make a mistake, but

105
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 2: not always.

106
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: Yesterday they arrested an analyst at New York City Hall,

107
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: an analyst with legal work authorization.

108
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 2: Have you met an analyst lately?

109
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: I mean, they're really not threatening, they're not the baddest

110
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: of the bad, and they're just.

111
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: Doing their jobs. Is that person really a threat? Well,

112
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: first all, they don't even know if that's true. Even

113
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 2: if it is true, that's one case out of how

114
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: many people have they arrested, three hundred and fifty thousand

115
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: so far. The other thing is there was nothing in

116
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: the speech about crime. Can you imagine that? No mention

117
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: of crime. She's continued the crazy Cuomo ridiculous policies of

118
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: no bail, no jail, emptying out the prisons, all that

119
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. You know, every time you go into

120
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: a drug store and everything's locked up everything. You know,

121
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: people from anywhere else, from way out in the suburbs,

122
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: when they come into New York and they going to

123
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 2: a drug store, they can't believe a shampoo is locked up,

124
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: the soap is locked up, the aspen is locked everything's

125
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: locked up. They've never seen anything like it. And that's

126
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: because of Cuomo. That's because of Kathy Hokeel and this

127
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: no bail, no gail. Now she's found another way to

128
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: lower crime, by the way, you just make some things

129
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: no longer a crime. Yeah, you just take certain categories

130
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: and make them no longer illegal. Gets your numbers lower.

131
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: But it was not a good speech by any stretch

132
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: of the imagination. So, hey, Kamala Harris just bought a

133
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: new house Malibu, eight million dollar mansion. She and Dougie there.

134
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: It's four thousand square feet. It's in a very very

135
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: very nice part of Malibu. Is she's certainly entitled to

136
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: do that. She made a lot of money on the book.

137
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: I imagine she gets a lot of money on speeches.

138
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: She's the world's worst speaker. But you know, to a

139
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: left wing audience, they don't care. They'll listen to they'll

140
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: think it's great. So a new eight million dollar mansion.

141
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: This is just one of her many real estate holdings.

142
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: So the nurse's strike continues. This is pretty bad, this

143
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: nurse's strike. It's a big, big strike. Now, Mam Donnie

144
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: was out there picketing with the nurses, which is a

145
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: huge mistake on his part, but that's part of being

146
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: a little kid who's never had a job, doesn't know

147
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: anything about this stuff. Normally, we've had nurses strikes before,

148
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: but usually it's the mayor who steps in and tries

149
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 2: to settle the thing. But Mam Donnie is out there

150
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: on the picket line with the nurses, so he can't

151
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: be an honest broker in this. It's a big problem. Now.

152
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: You hear the nurses complain about healthcare. Isn't that funny?

153
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: The nurses can't get a healthcare plan. That's how you

154
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 2: know our healthcare system is really messed up when the

155
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: nurses working in the hospital can't get decent healthcare. But

156
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: the union demands I don't know about some of the

157
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: is they want a pay raise ten percent a year

158
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: for three years. That's thirty three percent over three years.

159
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: That's a big pay raise. How much do nurses make?

160
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: You might be surprised the average nurse's salary. What do

161
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: you think it is? No, the average nurses salary one

162
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two thousand a year to two hundred

163
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: and seventy two thousand a year, which is not bad.

164
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: One of the things they're fighting for. They don't want

165
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: to have to contribute to their pensions, which is but

166
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: most private sector workers do that. Now, the problem with

167
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: this strike and if you settle, if you overpay in wages,

168
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: if you give away too much, it affects the city's

169
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: budget because a lot of these nurses are working at

170
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: city hospitals. It's not just north Well or Wild Cornell

171
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 2: or New York Presbyterian. It's not just these private hospitals,

172
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 2: but the nurses contract will affect all the city hospitals

173
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: too and drive up their costs. In these city hospitals

174
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: are already in a lot of trouble. PBS has announced,

175
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 2: you're supposed to feel bad about this. They've had to

176
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: cancel the PBS news weekend show. You know they do

177
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: newscasts on PBS. This is where they got themselves into trouble.

178
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: The idea of PBS, it was originally called educational television,

179
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: public broadcasting. It was things like Sesame Street, educational shows,

180
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: cultural shows, stuff you wouldn't normally see on regular too.

181
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: That was the whole idea of it. Then now even

182
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: there they got a little biased, a little slanted, but

183
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: that's okay, they're entitled. But then they got into the

184
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: news business doing newscasts, and they were the most slanted,

185
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 2: biased newscast. It was basically propaganda for one side. Then

186
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: they got these guys like Bill Moyers, who so awful

187
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: the slanted propaganda that was coming out of Bill Moyer's

188
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: So that's what led to the calls for or the

189
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: funding to be cut. They shouldn't have been doing that.

190
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: Why were they in the news business. The whole idea

191
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: of PBS of public television stuff you can't see anywhere else,

192
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: stuff you can't see on regular television. Well, obviously if

193
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: you wanted to see a newscast, you could see that

194
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: every where you looked this newscast everywhere. There was no

195
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: need for PBS to do it none whatsoever. It ended

196
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: up costing them their funding. They still have it during

197
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: the week but PBS News Weekend, that's the weekend version.

198
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: It's final episode, and they were very dramatic about it.

199
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: They said, due to federal budget cuts, we had to

200
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: make the difficult decision. But first of all, you got

201
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: like five, no more than that, maybe seven all news

202
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: television Networks twenty four to seven. You've got newscasts everywhere.

203
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: Every city has all news radio, and we got the

204
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: talk radio which covers news. You've got everything. There is

205
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: no reason for PBS to ever be doing news. That's

206
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 2: why the co Hey speaking of PBS, there's a very

207
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 2: nice guy. He used to work with him for him.

208
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: Neil Shapiro ran Channel thirteen here in New York in

209
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: Channel twenty when he's stepping down, retiring, still going to

210
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: stay on as chairman emeritus, but a very good guy.

211
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: Now the Clintons, what the hell is this all about?

212
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: The Clintons were asked to come in and testify in

213
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: a private session, not on camera, private talk about the

214
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: Epstein stuff, just explain it, and they sent word they

215
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: will refuse. They refuse to testify. And if you refuse

216
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: to testify when you're summoned to Congress, it's contempt of Congress.

217
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 2: You can go to prison for it. Just ask Peter Navarro,

218
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: just ask Steve Bannon. They've gone to prison for this.

219
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: Now Congress has to decide what they'll do. They could

220
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: make a criminal referral. If they refer it, it goes

221
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: to the DC Justice Department, local district attorney. And guess

222
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: who that is. It's Janine Piro. Now nobody remembers this,

223
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: but the Clintons put years ago, they put Janine Piro's

224
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 2: husband in jail, Al Piro, who was a top attorney

225
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: and a very nice guy in Westchester. And the reason

226
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: they did that they were trying to mess up the

227
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: reputation of the Piros. Because remember that's when Hillary wanted

228
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: to run for Senate and it looked like the main

229
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: competitor that might be able to beat her was Janine Piro.

230
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: So they had to ruin the reputation of the Piros.

231
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: So they charged him. It was some charge with it.

232
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: Whenever he asked anybody in the US Attorney's office, hell

233
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: is this charge? I said it was from years ago.

234
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean anything. They just drummed up something. But

235
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: they got a conviction with it. It was enough to

236
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: make her drop out of the race, so it was

237
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 2: an awful thing. Pierro was later pardoned. He's not a

238
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: convicted fellow anymore and he's a good guy. But you

239
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: gotta remember, I think that still haunts her, and she

240
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: would be the one prosecuting them, and I'm sure they've

241
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: thought about this now. James Comer is the chairman of

242
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: the committee. Clinton's have refused to testify.

243
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: As a result of Bill Clinton not showing up for

244
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: his lawful subpoena, which again was voted on it unanimously

245
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: by the committee in a bob partisan manner. We will

246
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: move next week in the House Oversight Committee mark up

247
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: to hold former President Clinton in contempt of Conger.

248
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a problem that it gets referred to Janine Piro. Now,

249
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: if you got nothing to hide, if you did nothing wrong,

250
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: why wouldn't you come in and testify, clear things up?

251
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: If you did nothing wrong, wouldn't you be happy to

252
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: come in and testify. I don't know. Now, Bill Clinton

253
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: may try arguing that there's a principal here, a next president,

254
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: the former president should not be forced to testify in

255
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: front of counts. He'll argue that principle or something like that.

256
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: No one's accusing Bill Clinton of any wrong doing. We

257
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: just we have questions, and that's why the Democrats voted

258
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: along with Republicans to subpoena Bill Clinton.

259
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, now it would make sense to ask Bill Clinton

260
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: a lot of questions because we're talking about Donald Trump.

261
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: He knew Jeffrey Epstein in the beginning years ago, but

262
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: very briefly, and then cut him off, never spoke to

263
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: him again. But Clinton was with Jeffrey Epstein day and night,

264
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: all over the place, in the closer relationship to Jeffrey

265
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: Epstein than almost anybody. Epstein was the one that helped

266
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: start the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative. That's Epstein

267
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: and Clinton's are flying all over the world. And that

268
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: doesn't mean there was underage women. From what I know

269
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: of Epstein. I got to see Epstein a lot. I

270
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: stayed away from him, but I got to observe it

271
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: wasn't underage girls with everybody. If you liked that, he

272
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: had that. But if you were Bill Clinton and you

273
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: liked forty year old floozies, he would get you that.

274
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: So I don't think Clinton had anything to do with

275
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: any underage women, but had come in and testify, explain

276
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Now I was looking back on this,

277
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: I remember the last time I saw Epstein was it

278
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: was late June, the twenty third of June twenty nineteen.

279
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: I looked it up. We went to him. I was

280
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: at a party where Epstein was there. Actually it was

281
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: part of it was a movie premiere and he sat

282
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: like right in front of me, and then I saw

283
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: him in the party afterwards, and it was one week

284
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: later that he got arrested. It was I think July sixth,

285
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, arrested and that was the end of it.

286
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: Now twenty nineteen, Donald Trump was president, so he was

287
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: arrested by Donald Trump's Justice Department. Was that Bill bar

288
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: at the time, I don't know. You know, Bill Barr's

289
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: father actually had a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. So anyway,

290
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: it's all a tangled mess in the swamp. We'll take

291
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two one zero

292
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: seven ten is the number, eight hundred three to two,

293
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: one zero seven Vintenn
