1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark Simone show on seven or well,

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: hey it's Friday.

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 3: A lot of stuff to get to. There's these fake news,

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 3: it's really cranked it up, faking fake, faked stories. There's

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 3: a fake story out there about ice detained a five

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 3: year old child. We'll get to that. We'll get to

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: the Jack Smith hearings. We'll get to how do you

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: say this, I can never know his name, Mackmood Khalid

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: has been thrown out of the country. Get to that.

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: We'll get to Davos, Ukraine. Putin there's news. We'll get

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: to Greenland and more. Now, as far as the storm,

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 3: this is the first real, big, huge test of Mam

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 3: Donnie as mayor. This has happened in the past where

15
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: a new mayor came in I think with Lindsay and

16
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: as soon as he got there a major snowstorm and

17
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: he was unable to get the streets cleared, especially in

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 3: the outer boroughs, and it really hurt him. So we'll

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: see Mom Donnie has already got he's doing these press

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: conferences where he puts on the snow jacket, you know,

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: the you know that field jacket, that windbreaker thing where

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 3: it says mayor on it. It's got a big logo

23
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 3: on the side. So now here's the good news. This

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: kind of stuff is usually handled by the director of

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: emergency Management. That's who's going to do this well. Luckily,

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: the director of Emerging Emergency Management, who's been there for years,

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: he is leaving. He gave his resignation, but he's got

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: two weeks left so he'll be there for this storm,

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: so he'll be handling it. And the team under him

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: is deputy emergency management. People are all pretty good, so

31
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: that's a good sign. Mam Donnie knows it's a big test,

32
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: so he'll rely on them. Let them do what they

33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: have to do. The storm will start overnight Saturday, could

34
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: be as early as one am. Looks more now like

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 3: four am. The snow will start Saturday night four am

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: into Someday morning. It will snow all day Sunday. It

37
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: will not stop. Continuous snow all day Sunday Sunday night.

38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: It'll end Monday morning. You might get a little return

39
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: to snows a couple of times in the afternoon. When

40
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: it's all over, it could be four to twelve inches.

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 3: There's about six different models you could use on this

42
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: that show every range from four to six four to

43
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: twelve most likely, six to eight inches most likely. And

44
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: now as far as school on Monday, I don't know.

45
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: Here in New York City, Director of Emergency Management says,

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: no decision has been made on school on Monday. They'll

47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 3: make that decision over the weekend, and if they do

48
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: have to cancel school on Monday, it's not like the

49
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: good old days where when you had a snow day,

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: you had a snow day, you had a snow day,

51
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: you got to stay at home and watch game shows

52
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: on TV and that sort of stuff, and you got

53
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: to see the price is right that kind of stuff.

54
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 3: But nowadays, when there's a snow day, they go to

55
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: remote learning. They're gonna expect students to do the remote

56
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: learning like they did during the pandemic. Director of Emergency

57
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: Management says they are preparing for that, which means they

58
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: have to make sure that the server space and the

59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: power they need, storage, all that bandwidth, all that is

60
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: up to speed. So they're working on that. But figure

61
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: nobody will go to work Monday. It'll be just now

62
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: here's the other thing, the snow all day Sunday. Let's

63
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: say there's six to eight inches. It's gonna be bitterly cold.

64
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: The temperature will be like ten degrees twenty degrees. It's

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: not gonna melt, and it looks like the temperature will

66
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: stay way below freezing for most of the week. So

67
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: unlike other storms, there's going to be a long period

68
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: of days and days and days where the snow doesn't

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: go anywhere, just rock hard. And because it'll be freezing,

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 3: I got a big problem with ice, black ice, all

71
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. So most likely you'll not go

72
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: out Sunday. Sunday will be the store, Monday will be

73
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: a mess. You probably won't be able to go to

74
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: work or do anything as far as all the suburbs.

75
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: No word yet on the school closings, but it's going

76
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: to be a mess. Now, we had much bigger storms

77
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: than the snowstorms in the past. We haven't had a

78
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: big one like this in four years where we got

79
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: you know, six to eight inches. It could be me more,

80
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 3: but we'll see and again, sometimes it you know, it weakens,

81
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 3: it shifts. That's why the wide range of predictions now. Flights,

82
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 3: it doesn't look good. It looks like a lot of

83
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: flights may be canceled, you know, you cost your money.

84
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: You have to pay a fine or a fee to

85
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: switch flights. The airlines must of them have waived all

86
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: that you can switch your flight dates. I wouldn't be

87
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: flying anywhere on Sunday and Monday will probably be a

88
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: mess as well. So we'll see if they if they

89
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: get on top of this. The subways, the awful MPTA

90
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: director Jano Lieber saying that they're expecting it to run,

91
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: but there could be Remember the last big snowstorms, you

92
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 3: had some lines that had huge delay, So we'll see.

93
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: I went back. Somebody sent me this from nineteen ninety

94
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: one NBC News Jessica Savage remember her NBC Nightly News.

95
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: Whole story about global warming is so intense that by

96
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: the end of the nineties it'll be so warm we'll

97
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: never see snow again. This is all these climate change

98
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 3: people from way back then. Remember Al Gore's movie An

99
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 3: Inconvenient Truth? When was that twenty years ago? Twenty three

100
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: years ago? Get the movie al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth.

101
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: That's the climate change movie where he told you all

102
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: the things that were going to happen, about the glacier

103
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: melting and the beach would disappear. Watch the movie now,

104
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 3: it's hysterical. Every single thing he predicted never happened. In fact,

105
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: just the opposite happened. The glacier got bigger, No beach, Erosi, nothing.

106
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: Just go watch it now and you'll just laugh and

107
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: laugh and laugh. The good news. On Sunday, you're gonna

108
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: have football. You'll be stuck in all day. You got

109
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: two big games Sunday. So that helps President Trump back

110
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 3: from back from Switzerland, back from Davos, which he normally

111
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 3: hates that it's a bunch of globalists talking about climate change.

112
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: But that's all changed now. The guy that ran Davos

113
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 3: for years is gone left in scandal. Now it's run

114
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 3: by Larry Fink of a hedge fund, Blackrock. So it's

115
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: more what it's supposed to be, discussing the economy, foreign affairs,

116
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. Things between world leaders looks like,

117
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: looks like a lot of progress was made on the

118
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: Ukraine at Davos, Zelensky and Trump talked. And here's how

119
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: bad the fake news is. They never tell you what

120
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 3: the hell's going on. They only picked stories that fit

121
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: their narrative or that'll hurt Trump. If there's anything good.

122
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: They never tell you about it. They keep it from you.

123
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: Great stuff happened as Ukraine Putin negotiating at Davos, and

124
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: last night Steve Witkoff met with Putin for hours and

125
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: hours and hours. The meeting didn't end till three in

126
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: the morning. This may be the first you're hearing about

127
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: it because fake news will not report this because it

128
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: looks good, it looks like progress, so you'll never hear

129
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: about it. Looks like the President will stay in DC

130
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: this weekend. No mar A Lago. He is going to

131
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: Iowa next week. Now he's going to be doing this.

132
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: It'll be kind of like going on tour every week.

133
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 3: He'll be in a different part of the country speaking,

134
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: doing a rally. Part of the reason is they're putting

135
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: out all these fake polls about his poll numbers is

136
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: the economy. You saw a bunch of them yesterday. I

137
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: think the Wall Street journals summed them all up. But

138
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: they're all fake poles. If you look at the metrics,

139
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: totally rigged forgot to sample Republicans. It's basically they just

140
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: sampled democrats. They didn't use likely voters. They used what

141
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: they call adults, which means they can pick whoever they want.

142
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: They can go to a Harvard and do it in

143
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: the faculty lounge if they want so totally rig poles.

144
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: Why do they do it Because it's a great way

145
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: to bash Trump. You put out all these fake poles,

146
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: you get a big prestigious newspaper to print them all,

147
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: and then every network news cast, everybody can say the

148
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: President's poll numbers are disastrous. The public has turned on

149
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 3: it. It's a great, great way to start that lie going.

150
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: And you've been seeing major lies this week from the

151
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: fake news. There's been a story all over the place

152
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: that these evil, awful Ice people detained a five year

153
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: old and they show you the picture they're surrounding the

154
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: five year old. And this story's been all over the place.

155
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: Could anything look more cruel? These Ice agents show up

156
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: to grab a five year old, this little innocent kid

157
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: with the Ice agents. What a horrible thing. Now, this

158
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: has been all over the place, the fake news, the networks,

159
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: The New York says, all these people failed to report

160
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 3: the actual story. They had a warrant for an illegal alien,

161
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: a real criminal. They had a warrant to arrest him.

162
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: They went to get him. They see him there he's

163
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: with a five year old kid. That's I guess it's

164
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: his kid. Apparently it is his kid. His five year

165
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 3: old is with him. The guy sees the ICE agents,

166
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 3: he turns and runs and abandons the five year old,

167
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,119
Speaker 3: just leaves him there. He runs from Ice, takes off, vanishes,

168
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: leaving the five year old. Can you imagine that. I mean,

169
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: you don't want to get arrested by ICE if you're

170
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: an illegal alien criminal, but abandoning your five year old,

171
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: so he runs off. They go chase the guy, but

172
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: of course some of the ICE agents remain to protect

173
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: the kid, and one of them is holding the kid.

174
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 3: Make sure the kid's okay. That's the real story. They

175
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: failed to report that. The other fake story they've been

176
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: putting out is ICE agents arrested an American citizen, an

177
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 3: actual full citizen, an America con citizen was arrested by ICE. Well,

178
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: they forget to tell you the rest of the story.

179
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,599
Speaker 3: When Ice they had a guy who turned out it

180
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 3: was a citizen, but when they stopped the question and

181
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: he got into a fight and he punched the ICE

182
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: agent in the face, they forget to report that part. Now,

183
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: no matter what's going on, if you punch a law

184
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: enforcement officer in the face, you're getting arrested. Traffic stop.

185
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: But whatever it is, even if you were totally innocent

186
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: and you just got mad, you got stopped, and you

187
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: punched the officer in the face, you're getting arrested. It's

188
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: that simple. But of course, fake news just unbelievably busy

189
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: trying to hurt Trump. Hard to run a democracy when

190
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,599
Speaker 3: you don't have actual media going. So Jack Smith testified yesterday.

191
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: It looked pretty bad for Jack Smith. Pretty bad. Was

192
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: a lot of people were curious why he was so nervous.

193
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: He was nervous, he was squirming. And one of the

194
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 3: reasons is to do the dirty stuff that he does.

195
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 3: The dirty work requires a lot of secrecy. And this

196
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 3: guy has been doing this for years. He's a hit

197
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 3: man who goes after political rivals, charges them like crazy,

198
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: gets them convicted of a million things. He's done it

199
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: nine other times with Republicans, and all nine times the

200
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: cases were tossed out when it went to the higher courts.

201
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 3: And in the case of the Virginia Governor MacDonald, the

202
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: Supreme Court throughout all the charges and wrote in the

203
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 3: decision this was all clearly politically motivated. That's this guy's history.

204
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: So why was he squirming and so nervous. He's not

205
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 3: used to operating in the spotlight. He's used to operating

206
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: in the shadows. To do what he does requires hiding

207
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: in the shadows. That's why he was so nervous. It

208
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: was funny watching his testimony. He just they had a

209
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: million things to get him on. In every case, he

210
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: just claimed he did not recall. He couldn't recall. I

211
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: don't recall. I don't remember even when they asked him.

212
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: There was some funny business went on to make him

213
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: this special prosecutor. Because if you needed a special counsel,

214
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: there's about twelve hundred guys in Washington perfectly qualified. Why

215
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: did they go halfway around the world to the Hague

216
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: to bring this guy in because he's a long time

217
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: hit man. But it was there was some suspicion about

218
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: how he got sworn in, how he got so when

219
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: they asked him about it, he claimed not to remember.

220
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: Even when they asked him when he got sworn in

221
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: or who swore him in, he claimed he didn't remember,

222
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: he couldn't recall. He then targeted all kinds of Republicans,

223
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: including the Speaker of the House. He tapped his phone.

224
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: He did surveillance on the Speaker of the House. Nobody

225
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: knows why, but to get the warrant he had to

226
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 3: write up a thing to the judge and they found

227
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: this and apparently in the declaration, Jack Smith said believed

228
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 3: the Speaker of the House might be a flight risk.

229
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 3: Can you imagine that it was Kevin McCarthy at the time,

230
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 3: He's the Speaker of the House. Smith told the judge,

231
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: he's possibly a flight risk. This is one dirty, sleazy guy.

232
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 3: When they went after Trump for January sixth, in the

233
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: hearings yesterday, his whole argument was that Trump kept saying

234
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: the election was rigged. It was rigged, it was rigged,

235
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: it was rigged. It was that kind of talk that

236
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: led to the protests at the Capitol and the trespassing

237
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: and all that. So a couple of senators asked him, well,

238
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen was screaming all over the

239
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: place the election was stolen, it was rigged, Russia stole it,

240
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 3: Trump stole it, it was rigged. How come that's not

241
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: the same thing. Smith refused to answer that question, couldn't

242
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 3: answer it. Hey, Trump is Donald Trump? Is forming the

243
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: Board of Peace. One of the first task is fixed

244
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 3: the situation in Israel, Gaza. All of that. The Board

245
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: of Peace a lot of top world leaders, business people.

246
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 3: Trump has been named the chairman.

247
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 4: This board has the chance to be one of the

248
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 4: most consequential bodies ever created. That's my enormous honor to

249
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 4: serve as its chairman. It was very honored when they

250
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 4: asked me to do it.

251
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course it's his board, it's his board members.

252
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 3: That's why they asked him. But he's the perfect guy

253
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 3: to do it. The plan for Gaza, once you get

254
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: everything settled, is to turn it's on the water, as

255
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: Trump would say, it's waterfront property. He's a real estate guy.

256
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 3: This is waterfront property. He wants to turn it into

257
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: a booming metropolis with skyscrapers and everything in the world,

258
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: money everywhere, money flowing in booming economy. Thinks that'll be

259
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: the answer to this.

260
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 4: I'm a real estate person at hearsh and it's all

261
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 4: about location. And I said, look at this location on

262
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 4: the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property.

263
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: What it could be for so many people. It'll be

264
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 3: so great.

265
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 4: People that are living so poorly are going to be

266
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 4: living so well.

267
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Palestinians, you're gonna get a Starbucks, You're gonna get

268
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: a Chipotle. You're gonna be very happy if you play

269
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: your cards right, and in an out burger. It's going

270
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 3: to be quite a place. If not, maybe just a

271
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: shake shack. But now, one reason for this Board of peace.

272
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: Normally this would be the United Nations. But for about

273
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: fifty years, the United Nations has been the absolute most

274
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: useless organization. Does absolutely nothing. It's basically a VIP lounge

275
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 3: for dictators and communists. And Trump was asked about it, We'll.

276
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: Do it in conjunction with the United Nations. You know,

277
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 4: I've always said the United Nations has got tremendous potential, has.

278
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: Not used it.

279
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: But this tremendous potential in the United Nations.

280
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, a little competition will be good for them. Hey. Also,

281
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 3: we're no longer in the World Health Organization. It's a shady, sleazy,

282
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: corrupt organization, the World Health Organization. The United States is

283
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 3: officially pulled out. It was basically controlled and run by

284
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: communist China. The head of it was a Marxist. It

285
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: was a bad, bad organization. So let China have it.

286
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 3: We'll still operate when we need to, still work with

287
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: them when we when we need to. But otherwise we're

288
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: not we're not part of it. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.

289
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.

Speaker 6: radio because I was driving to town taxi when you

301
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,480

00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 3: when I was in college.

310
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 9: Oh, you're kidding me.

311
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 6: We didn't have I didn't even own a radio.

312
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: Sound like a really progressive guy.

313
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 7: I have a question for you Yes, what is the

314
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 7: three most effective words in advertising? I'm also a buyer,

315
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 7: you know.

316
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 3: So I assume one is free. No, well, wait a minute,

317
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 3: we're trusting you to have this right. What are they?

318
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 7: Oh, let me get let me.

319
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 9: Just answer it.

320
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: Well, you got to answer it now because we're going

321
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 3: to be off the phone in about ten seconds.

322
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 6: Rinse and repeat.

323
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: Okay, great, I knew this was going to be a

324
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 3: waste of time. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,

325
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: how you doing.

326
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 10: Good morning, Mark, Yes, I had a snatch a question

327
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 10: for you.

328
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: I know.

329
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 10: When he made movies he was pretty adamant about sort

330
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 10: of one take, two, take said the most and he

331
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 10: would begun. But in the studio he seemed to be very,

332
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 10: very fastidious, and he would do, you know, tons of

333
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 10: takes on.

334
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 3: Yes, there was a reason for that. The reason was

335
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: he was the most skilled musician in the world. He was,

336
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: as a great critic once said, like on a Mozartian level.

337
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 3: It was like Mozart, like somebody that comes along in

338
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 3: music once every couple hundred years. He was so skilled

339
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: in a studio, take after take after take to get

340
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: it perfect. But when it came to acting, in movies.

341
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: He was an unbelievable natural actor. He knew he wasn't

342
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 3: a skilled professional actor. He was just a natural actor.

343
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 3: So he knew he couldn't do multiple takes and get

344
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: it right. His only shot was very natural, get it right,

345
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: you know, just make it real. He couldn't do repeat takes.

346
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 3: By the way. He in the first major albums in

347
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: the fifties, he would do seventy five one hundred takes.

348
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: But he he noticed he was burning out the musicians.

349
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 5: That I was going to ask, like, what would you know?

350
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 5: How did the musicians go?

351
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 10: I mean, they're working with the greatest, so of course

352
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 10: I'm sure you didn't quite too.

353
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: I've got you under my skin. That famous saxophone solo,

354
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 3: he said, when you got to take twenty seven, the

355
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 3: guy wasn't as good on his solo. So he realized

356
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: with musicians, you can only do about ten twelve takes.

357
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: That's it. Very good question, Mike. Let's go to Jack

358
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 3: in New Jersey. Jack, how you doing.

359
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 11: I'm doing fine, Mark, Thanks first time Cohler. I've been

360
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 11: listening to you for a while. Two things I would

361
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 11: like to see is the first one is like you

362
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 11: need a nick Shirley type of a person out there

363
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 11: to confront one of these protesters, like up in Minneapolis

364
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 11: to the ICE protesters and say, how many of your

365
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 11: neighbors would be interested in coming out if the shoes

366
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 11: on the other foot and you were in trouble with

367
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 11: the law, how many you think would be out there?

368
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 3: Well, he sounds like the most riveting programming, But I

369
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 3: get what you're saying, we need more Nick Shirley's he's

370
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 3: the guy that exposed the Somali fraud. You know, I'm

371
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: up to nineteen billion of that fraud there in Minnesota.

372
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 3: And you're right, need Nick Shirley everywhere. Need them in

373
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: New York, need them all over the place. Let's go

374
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you.

375
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 12: Doing, Good morning, Mark, Mark. I'm okay. I just wanted

376
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 12: to clarify what happened to me with the tariffs yesterday.

377
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 12: I only had like ten seconds. I'm not against the

378
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 12: tariffs on the big corporations who cheat American workers, who

379
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 12: place massive tariffs on us. I'm just talking about these

380
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 12: Pettieri tariffs that, as I said, a woman sent me

381
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 12: a Christmas gift for sixty seven dollars and I even

382
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 12: called up ups yesterday to get the calculation how they

383
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 12: tabulated the tariffs. The tariffs and fees for me to

384
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 12: get a package that I already owned because she paid

385
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 12: for it, was ninety seven and fifty cents. And I

386
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 12: also heard on Jimmy Fayler's show the other night, the

387
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 12: call in section after ten, a lot of small businessmen

388
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 12: were talking about the same thing. And all I'm saying

389
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 12: is is that Trump needs to have his people retweet

390
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 12: this because over the summer, when this woman came to

391
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 12: stay at my house, didn't.

392
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 3: Stay at your house? What was this all about?

393
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 12: Well, she actually came with her husband. No, weirder, Well,

394
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 12: I leant to one of my apartments.

395
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: Well, Vincent, don't worry that that terriff's eventually go away.

396
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 12: Well, unfortunately it is hurting some little people.

397
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, no it does. But frankly I know, but Vincent,

398
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 3: we get the same exact thing from Democrats. They'll tear

399
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 3: if you even more. They just call it corporate tax.

400
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 12: So but tell me, what how am I supposed to

401
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 12: feel about this?

402
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 3: Not great? But again, the tariffs go away eventually, But

403
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 3: when the Democrats are in power, they'll they'll put huge

404
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 3: time by Vincent. We got to go to do the news. Well,

405
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 3: when we come back, Roger Friedman will be with us

406
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: next lots of we'll talk to him about the Oscar

Speaker 1: Mister New York Mark Simone on seven wo.

00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,640

414
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 5: I'm great? How are you this morning?

415
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 3: I'm good. Hey. Oscar nominations came out this week. What

416
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: do you what do you think? Well?

417
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 5: I think they were. There weren't too many surprises. There

418
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 5: were things I was happy about. The big snub was Wicked.

419
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 5: The second Wicked movie got nothing.

420
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: Why is that?

421
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 5: Well, because I think the Academy thought they got a

422
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 5: lot last year and that's enough already, and it was

423
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 5: basically the same movie. So Arian the Grande's fans were

424
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 5: very upset that she wasn't nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

425
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 5: But she you know, she did well at the Golden

426
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 5: Globe and I think that was appropriate. We have a

427
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 5: lot of great nominees. I'm really excited about Ethan Hawke

428
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 5: being nominated Best Actor for Blue Moon, which is just

429
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 5: a terrific little film, and of course Timothy Challomey and

430
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 5: Leonardo DiCaprio are in that. But the big news is

431
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 5: that Sinners has really built up a following. They had

432
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 5: sixteen nominations, the most ever for any movie.

433
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 3: Wow, now, why is that good?

434
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, you haven't seen it.

435
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 3: No, I see one movie every ten years.

436
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 5: Sinners is Actually it's an interesting movie because it's sort

437
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 5: of like a vampire movie in a way. It's a

438
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 5: horror film, but it's not a horror film. It's a

439
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 5: film about social studies sort of. And music gorgeous R

440
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 5: and B and blues music from Tennessee from Memphis, and

441
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 5: it's it's just a great, great film. And Michael B.

442
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 5: Jordan plays two parts in it, and he was nominated

443
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 5: for he plays the twin brothers, and he was nominated

444
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 5: for Best Actor, and they got del Roy Lindo was

445
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 5: nominated for Best Supporting Actor at seventy three. It's his

446
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 5: first nomination ever and he's such a fabulous actor. So

447
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 5: I think that Sinners may be a spoiler when we

448
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 5: get to the actual show.

449
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: What about my favorite movie, Marty Supreme.

450
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 5: Marty Supreme did very well and Timothy Challamy is nominated

451
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 5: for playing Marty, and I think he's probably going to win.

452
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 5: So your old friend Marty can be very proud from

453
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 5: the grave that things have worked out so well for

454
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 5: that movie, which is now at about seventy five million dollars,

455
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 5: which is pretty good.

456
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, but what about Best Picture? You don't think

457
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 3: it'll win Best Picture?

458
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 5: No, I think it's either one Battle after another, which

459
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 5: is sort of my choice. I lean toward that, or

460
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 5: Sinners one or the other. The other great movie is Hamnet,

461
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 5: but I think that these other two are in overwhelm it.

462
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, how many people what percentage actually still goes

463
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 3: to a movie theater rather than streaming, actually goes and

464
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 3: sits in the theater and watches movies.

465
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 5: Now you know what, it's the box office is way

466
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 5: up from last year. I think people found a lot

467
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 5: of these movies very, very enjoyable and have made an

468
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 5: effort to go to theater, which is interesting because people

469
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 5: were saying, oh, theaters are over. You know, Netflix is

470
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 5: going to buy Warner Brothers and then they're going to

471
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 5: put all their movies on Netflix. But no, actually the

472
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 5: box office is up year to year.

473
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, and if you haven't been to a theater

474
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 3: while many of them now they have these reclining leather seats.

475
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 3: They got great seats, liquor licenses, they got more food, candy, waiters, waitresses.

476
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 3: It's pretty good.

477
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 5: I have to be careful about that because if I

478
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 5: get into that reclining seat, I'll fall asleep immediately.

479
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 3: Well, but it does make a difference. But but but.

480
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 5: It's really it's good. And uh, it's good. Now, of

481
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 5: course we're going to have Milania Trump's movie opening pretty soon.

482
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: Hey, let me ask you something about that. It was

483
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 3: done by Brett Ratner, the big Hollywood producer. Wasn't he

484
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 3: kind of blacklisted? Wasn't he me tooed out of Hollywood?

485
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: How does he get back in action?

486
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 13: Uh?

487
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 5: Got he got back into action because nobody else want

488
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 5: Mets to direct this movie.

489
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 3: And still it's Amazon. Why would they get involved with

490
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: this guy?

491
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 5: No, I don't know. I mean, I like Brett, I

492
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 5: know him a long time, We've been friends for years,

493
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 5: But I do worry about his association with this Also,

494
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 5: as I've been reporting, there's almost been no advanced sale

495
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 5: for this movie. No one is buying tickets, and it

496
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 5: was very funny. For some reason, on the website for

497
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 5: the movie, it came up that I could choose buying

498
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 5: seats in Dixon City, Pennsylvania. Did you ever hear Dixon

499
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 5: City coming back?

500
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: I could see you there. I think it'd fit right in.

501
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 5: I've never heard of it before. Let's be honest, Stranson.

502
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 3: Let's be honest. I would guess you don't own a

503
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 3: Maga hat.

504
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 5: I don't own a Maga, but red is not my color.

505
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 5: And also, the hats never look good on me. Even

506
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 5: the Yankee hats still look good on me. Hey, just

507
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 5: I can't make it work.

508
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: Speaking of documentaries, tell us about because this is the

509
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: one I'm looking forward. Tell us about the mel Brooks documentary.

510
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 5: Oh, it's so great. It started last night and tonight

511
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 5: is part two on HBO, and then it's going to

512
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 5: be running all weekend and in our snowstorm, we're going

513
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 5: to have a lot of fun watching the Melbrooks movie.

514
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 5: He's ninety nine years old, he's got every marvel and

515
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 5: he looks great. And the movie, the documentary in two parts,

516
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 5: tells the whole story of his career, you know, his

517
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 5: even his life before in Bancroft and his first marriage

518
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 5: and it had three kids from the first marriage, and

519
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 5: he was working on your show of shows, and he

520
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 5: was trying to make a living and he was having

521
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 5: a lot of trouble and then, you know, and then

522
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 5: finally he wrote the Producers, and the producers in nineteen

523
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 5: sixty eight got him an oscar for the screenplay, and

524
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 5: it sent his career soaring. And then we have all

525
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 5: those great movies from the seventies, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

526
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 3: And the movie.

527
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 5: Jane Appatto hosts the documentary and he does a great job,

528
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 5: and there's lots of interviews with various people who've known

529
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 5: Mel over the years, including Rob Reiner, who was, you know,

530
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 5: the son of his best friends. And Rob Reiner is

531
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 5: it's really like tragic to watch him because he's so

532
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 5: you just love him when you see him, and you

533
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 5: think about this terrible thing that's happened. But Rob Reiner's

534
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 5: in it, and Ben Stiller and lots of cool people,

535
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 5: but it's mostly Mel talking, you know, at ninety nine

536
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 5: about this incredible career that he's had, and so it's

537
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 5: well worth watching both nights. Tonight is the second night

538
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 5: and it's on HBO HBO, so go watch yea, hey,

539
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 5: you know what you should go watch.

540
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: There's an incredible new Sinatra documentary also two parts. I

541
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 3: saw that you did. Yeah, it's on Fox Nation. That's

542
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 3: their streaming service. You have to go.

543
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 5: I know that's all right. I love Sinatra. I'll see

544
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 5: anything with Sinatra. I don't care where it is.

545
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: But that documentary is pretty good, pretty well done.

546
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was an HBO documentary several years ago, maybe

547
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 5: ten years ago, there was a great HBO documentary about

548
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 5: Sinatra that's worth finding on their pay per view. But

549
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 5: I'll watch anything about you know that. We'll watch anything

550
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 5: about friend Sinatra.

551
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but go watch this one. It's on the Fox Nation.

552
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: It's called I don't like the title. It's called The

553
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: Echoes of an Icon. It's just a new Sinatra. It's great. Hey,

554
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 3: we only got like forty seconds. How's Broadway doing?

555
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 5: Broadway's booming and Harry Potter of all things. Harry Potter

556
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 5: has been around for several years. It started out as

557
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 5: two plays with an intermission, then they combined it into

558
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 5: one play. It's never really been a success. But Tom Felton,

559
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 5: who played a part in the Harry Potter movies, is

560
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 5: in the play now and the play has taken off

561
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 5: and gone up like a million dollars a week in sales.

562
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 5: It's huge and it was number one this past week

563
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 5: two point six million dollars.

564
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: Wow.

565
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 5: So everyone is crazy now about Harry Potter and the

566
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 5: Curse Child. And it's definitely I remember it from the opening.

567
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 5: The magic in it and the special effects are fabulous,

568
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 5: so it's worth checking out. But when this guy came in,

569
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 5: if they just bring in one person every few months

Speaker 3: it's going to be bitterly cold. It will be a

603
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 3: real feel of like minus five or something all day Saturday. See,

604
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 3: you're not going to really want to be out much

605
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: on Saturday. And then Sunday you got the storm, the

606
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: snow all day long. It will start overnight Saturday, about two, three,

607
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 3: four in the morning, it'll start snowing. It'll snow all

608
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: day Sunday. It won't stop, It'll pile up. It'll snow

00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,880

610
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 3: back a little here and there in the afternoon, and

611
00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 3: then that'll be it. But most likely forecast six to

612
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 3: eight inches. The different various models show a range of

613
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 3: four to twelve inches, but figure six to eight inches.

614
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 3: It's a lot of snow. If you're in the suburbs.

615
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 3: It's going to disrupt everything for a while. Also, unlike

616
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 3: other snowstorms, it's going to be freezing cold for the

617
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 3: next few days. It'll be like in the twenties, real

618
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 3: Field and the teens. So after the snow is done

619
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 3: on Monday, for the next few days, it'll be so

620
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 3: cold that nothing will melt. You won't be able to

621
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 3: melt that snow. You won't be able to shovel it.

622
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 3: You know, if you're in the city, it doesn't really

623
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: bother us because it doesn't really even stick on the ground.

624
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: These sidewalks are so warm, people a million people walking

625
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 3: all over them. The subway underneath heats them. So the

626
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 3: city is fine, although you'll have some snow banks here

627
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: in there. But when you're in the suburbs, it's a

628
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 3: mess because the mall, the strip, mall, the supermarket, they'll shuffle,

629
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: they'll shovel the parking lot, but you'll lose half the

630
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 3: parking spaces where they pile up the snow in those snowbanks,

631
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 3: and all of that will stay for days and days

632
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: and days. Looks like in New York City, at least

633
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 3: they'll be school on Monday. Now it may go remote

634
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 3: and this is not fair to kids. It's very important

635
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 3: to have snow days where school is just canceled. You know,

636
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 3: when we were a kid, it was a snow day,

637
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 3: he had the day off, you'd watch game shows, you'd

638
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 3: goof off. But now if there is a snow day,

639
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 3: it'll just switch to remote learning. And imagine a lot

640
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: of suburban schools will do that. Not everybody's made the

641
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 3: decision yet, but we'll keep you up to date here

642
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 3: on the storm. This will be the first major test

643
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 3: of mom Donnie and his management skills. Although the emergency

644
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 3: team that does all this stuff is still there from

645
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: the Adams administration, so it's the same team. The director

646
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 3: of Emergency Management, he's a good guy. He'll be able

647
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: to handle this. He's resigned, but he gave two weeks notice,

648
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: so he's still there through this storm. Now. When he leaves,

649
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: the good news is his deputy takes over, who he

650
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 3: says is pretty good. She's been there for a long

651
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 3: long time, so it should be should be okay Greenland.

652
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 3: Speaking of snow, it looks like the deal is done,

653
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 3: and the deal is basically, we lease Greenland and control

654
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 3: it for decades and decades and decades, sometimes Trump hinting

655
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 3: it could be forever. Now that's different from actually buying

656
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 3: it and owning it. But some people are pointing out

657
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 3: this is actually better. We don't want to buy it

658
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 3: and own it and make it part of the US.

659
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 3: We want to just lease it and have control. If

660
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 3: we buy it make it part of the US, then

661
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 3: you're going to have to give them two senators. You're

662
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 3: gonna have to give them. Congressmen, you're going to have

663
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 3: to pay the welfare for most of the people on Greenland.

664
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 3: And it's only about fifty seven thousand people, but they're

665
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 3: on some kind of welfare. Hey. Now, once again, the

666
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 3: idea of buying Greenland or owning Greenland, or making part

667
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 3: of the US that is not a Trump policy. That's

668
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 3: been the official policy of the United States for one

669
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty years. One hundred and fifty years. Lots

670
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 3: of presidents have tried to get Greenland. The last most

671
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 3: serious attempt was Harry Truman, who offered I think it

672
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: was a billion dollars, which back then nineteen forty nine

673
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 3: or whatever was a staggering amount of money. But it's

674
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 3: always been US policy to get Greenland. This is not

675
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 3: a Trump policy. But it was just fine for all

676
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 3: these years trying to get Greenland. But as soon as

677
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 3: it was Trump, this is terrible. All of a sudden,

678
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 3: everybody went crazy. Same thing with ice, the idea of

679
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 3: ice going into cities and snatching up illegals off the streets.

680
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 3: That was Barack Obama. He did it all the time.

681
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 3: And you know, he put in charge of it a

682
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 3: guy named Tom Holman, and you know, before Obama left office,

683
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 3: he gave Tom Holman the Distinguished Service Award from the

684
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 3: federal government for what he did. So it goes on

685
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 3: all the time. It's just only bad when Trump does it.

686
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 3: It was a great moment on CNN with Ben Ferguson

687
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 3: and the host I think was Abbey phillip Is screaming

688
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: at Ben Ferguson the idea of Ice going into what

689
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 3: Ice is doing. He's never been good, it's always been controversial,

690
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 3: and Ben Ferguson said that's not true. It was considered

691
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 3: great under Obama. In fact, you guys at CNN did

692
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: ride alongs. That's true. The video has emerged back when

693
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: Obama was doing the same exact thing. CNN covered it

694
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 3: and showed how brilliant this was, how great this was.

695
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 3: Look at it what Obama is getting done. They did

696
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 3: ride along videos. Look at how they're rounding up. This

697
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 3: is great. But as soon as it's Trump, it's a disaster.

698
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 3: It's awful. Hey, the crazy protesters who broke into that church,

699
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 3: stopped the service, stop the ceremony. The two ringleaders have

700
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: been arrested. Now they're going to probably get Don Lemon.

701
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: At some point it went before some left wing judge

702
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 3: who tossed it out said you can't arrest Don Lemon

703
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 3: for this. It's just some crazy left wing judge. They'll

704
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 3: appeal the whole thing. The Attorney General herself, Pam Bondi,

705
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 3: has flown to Minnesota to get this thing going.

706
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,720
Speaker 14: Religious liberty is under siege in our country right now,

707
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 14: and we are not going anywhere until those people who

708
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 14: did those acts are held accountable.

709
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, the yelling about freedom of speech, freedom to protest,

710
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: First Amendment, it's all great, but that means you can

711
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 3: stand outside and yell. You cannot enter the church. It's

712
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 3: actually says in the law you cannot go into a

713
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 3: house of worship and do anything to intimidate or interfere

714
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 3: with a church service. It's illegal. It's a crime. So

715
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 3: they've arrested the two ringleaders and here's Paul Murrow, the

716
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 3: security expert.

717
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 15: It is going to be very very little that they

718
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 15: can do in defense of this because it's on filming.

719
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 15: But for once, they didn't cover their faces. Now Here

720
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 15: is the thing that's going to come out of this.

721
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 15: You have her under her arrest. Now you're going to

722
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 15: get the communications and this is where it starts to spider.

723
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 3: Whereabout you start to see who's talking to.

724
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 15: Who, who showed up in regard including Don Lemon. How

725
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 15: much did they all know going in? That imports things

726
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 15: like conspiracy charges, which can be quite quite heavy.

727
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's where they're going to start. Now they've

728
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 3: got the two ring leaders, they'll start to get everybody

729
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 3: else under arrest.

730
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 15: Not only did that come out in the video and

731
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 15: that they said something like that in the church, but

732
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 15: then after the fact Lemon talks about exactly that, putting

733
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 15: a racial overtone in the whole thing, which potentially could

734
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 15: import a hate crime.

735
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 3: Nah, that's interesting. Lemon could be charged also with hate crime.

736
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 15: There is a job career protester and it has developed

737
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 15: over the last let's say a dozen years or so

738
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 15: into a very lucrative industry, and you have people who

739
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 15: do this for a living, make a ton of money.

740
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 15: They weaponize people who don't know any better, to use

741
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 15: the Leninist term, useful idiots. They're looking for any cause

742
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 15: in the world. They get them out of the campuses

743
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 15: pretty good.

744
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 3: Hey, the Clintons are in tremendous legal jeopardy. They have

745
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 3: defied a congressional subpoena. They have refused to testify, and

746
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 3: when you do that, you go to prison. That's what

747
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 3: happened to Steve Bannon, That's what happened to Peter Navarro.

748
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 3: They refused to testify. When they got the subpoena in

749
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,479
Speaker 3: front of Congress, they went to prison. So you could

750
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 3: actually send the Clintons to prison. They've actually done exactly

751
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 3: what Steve Bannon did, exactly what Navarro did. Here's crazy goofy,

752
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 3: Hakim Jeffries.

753
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 16: If COMA tries to bring this resolution, he wants to

754
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 16: lock Hillary Clinton up, consistent with what Donald Trump's been

755
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 16: saying now for ten years, lock her up, as opposed

756
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 16: to actually focusing on the things that matter for the

757
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 16: American people, then we'll deal with it appropriately.

758
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 3: That's when you know they're in trouble. Instead of focusing

759
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 3: on what's important for the American people. When they put

760
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 3: Trump on trial in four places, did Hakim Jeffrey say, hey,

761
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 3: focus on what's important for the American people now? Now,

762
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 3: the only argument protecting the Clintons is, well, Steve Bannon,

763
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: this is an ex president. It's different if it's an

764
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 3: next president. Well, not really. You put the arrested Donald

765
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: Trump in four different places five thousand times. So apparently,

766
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 3: according to the Merrick Garland Joe Biden standard, it's not

767
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 3: different when it's an next president. Hey, you know who died.

768
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 3: I can't believe it. Uncle Floyd. You remember Uncle Floyd.

769
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 3: Now there'll be plenty of people don't know what I'm

770
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 3: talking about, but plenty of people who do. Uncle Floyd

771
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 3: wasn't that old. He was seventy four. Floyd Vivino course

772
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 3: hosted that children's TV show for years. He also was

773
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 3: a great comedian and a great musician pianist. Uncle Floyd

774
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 3: gone at the age of seventy four. This is back

775
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 3: in the way, way way in the past, like a

776
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 3: way back into the eighties. When he has on UA Chef.

777
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 3: You remember that there was regular TV and there was

778
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 3: UA Chef and on his case, I think was channel

779
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 3: sixty eight out of Jersey. You know, kids today you

780
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 3: wouldn't believe it. You had a TV that had an

781
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 3: antenna and there was channel two, four, five, seven, nine, eleven,

782
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 3: and then there was UHF. You could switch over this

783
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 3: UHF where there was like a channel fifty in the channels.

784
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 3: This sounds like the Flintstones. This sounds so primitive. It

785
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 3: sounds like cavemen who knew back then that within a

786
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 3: few years there'd be cable and two hundred channels, and

787
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 3: then years after that there'd be cable and six hundred channels.

788
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 3: And I remember you had cable with six hundred channels

789
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 3: and there was still nothing to watch. You could have

790
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 3: eight hundred channels, You're still watching Law and Order reruns

791
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 3: and that's it. But then streaming begins and everybody forgets

792
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 3: about regular TV. Everything is streaming now. You know, it

793
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,479
Speaker 3: used to be a big deal network TV. It means

794
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 3: absolutely nothing anymore. You know, you used to wait and

795
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 3: see if your favorite show got picked up for the

796
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 3: next year. They just announced all the renewals for next year. Tracker,

797
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 3: that's like the biggest show in network TV. Tracker got

798
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 3: the renewed. Mattlock got renewed. There's like a new Mattlock.

799
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: It's not Andy Griffith. I think it's a woman this time.

800
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 3: Boston Blue got renewed, but only for eight episodes. That's

801
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 3: not a good saying. All the NCIS has got renewed.

802
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,240
Speaker 3: Fire Country got renewed. That's everywhere now. This Fire Country,

803
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 3: I don't even know what the hell it is? Sydney Survivor.

804
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 3: I don't even know most of these shows. Georgie and

805
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 3: Mandy's first marriage, anybody know what that is? I don't

806
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 3: know the Amazing Race, I know what that is. Elizabeth

807
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 3: got Elsbeth got the renewed. Okay, So but again it

808
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 3: doesn't mean anything. Nobody watches network TV anymore. It's all streaming. Hey,

809
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 3: Donald Trump has announced a big lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase.

810
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 3: JP Morgan Chase being sued by Trump now for five

811
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 3: billion dollars. And he's got a great case. When he

812
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 3: was the ex president a few years ago, JP Morgan

813
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 3: Chase d banked him. In other words, they refused to

814
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 3: allow him to have a bank account. He had many

815
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 3: bank accounts there, not personally, but for his business. You're

816
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 3: talking about hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars,

817
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 3: and they threw them out of the bank. Now, if

818
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 3: you have a remember Trump has a major, major corporation.

819
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 3: It's a global empire doing business all over the world.

820
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 3: That's impossible to run a business without bank accounts. In fact,

821
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 3: when you're a business, you have many, many bank accounts.

822
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: So to throw them out to dbank them, and then

823
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 3: other banks followed. Bank of America and other banks followed.

824
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 3: So he couldn't believe it when it happened. How could

825
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 3: you be blacklisted from banks? You can't, how could you

826
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 3: stay in business? So it was a horrible, frightening thing

827
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 3: to do to a business. It wasn't just Trump. They

828
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 3: did it to a lot of conservatives. And Trump is

829
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 3: now suing them for five billion dollars. He most likely

830
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 3: will get a massive settlement. They'll probably settle with him

831
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 3: for a fortune, maybe even a billion dollars. Now. JP

832
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 3: Morgan Chase is a great company run by Jamie Diamond,

833
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 3: best CEO in America. Why would they do such a thing.

834
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 3: They wouldn't because it hurts the bank. Why would they

835
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 3: do it? The Biden administration forced them to. The Biden

836
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 3: administration threatened the banks. With everything in the world, they're

837
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 3: totally regulated and dependent on government. The Biden administration threatened

838
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 3: them and forced them to do it. This is the

839
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 3: other reason for the lawsuit to get this to come

840
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 3: out in court. Now, Democrats may go to JP Morgan

841
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 3: Chase and make them settle this because they don't want

842
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 3: Democrats don't want this coming out in court that they

843
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 3: played this kind of game, the Shenanigans. So we'll see

844
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 3: what happens. No matter how it turns out, Donald Trump

845
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 3: will be getting a hell of a payday from this. Hey,

846
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 3: we'll take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three

847
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,400

860
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,439
Speaker 9: his show was kind of like a stupy stale show,

861
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 9: you know. It was kind of people will goof it

862
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 9: up in the back line. You could hit him talking

863
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 9: and he just one goofy thing after another. He did characters,

864
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 9: but yeah.

865
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,640

00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 3: very minor league copy of the Soupy Sales Show. That's

867
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:52,600

Speaker 3: Vinny?

888
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 9: Uncle Floyd was fantastic. I think every New Jersey and

889
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 9: should fly their flags at half mass. And anyone who

890
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 9: doesn't know Uncle Floyd should go on YouTube and check

891
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 9: them out.

892
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 5: It was my hero when I was a teenager.

893
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 3: Well, you see, that's interesting. Uncle Floyd died. I announced

894
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 3: it before. I'm thinking to myself, a lot of people

895
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 3: people know who Uncle Floyd. Uncle Floyd touched a lot

896
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 3: of lives. I'm trying to think if I I met

897
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 3: him a few times. Actually, remember I used to do

898
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 3: the Saturday night show, The Oldie Show. He was on

899
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 3: that a couple of times. He was a guest. I'm

900
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 3: trying to remember. I think I was on the Uncle

901
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 3: Floyd Show once somewhere in the eighties, and I remember

902
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 3: doing a some benefit somewhere with him where I think

903
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 3: I was the MC and he was on the show.

904
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,719

Speaker 17: Good morning, Mark, Sorry to hear about Uncle fyd Uh

923
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 17: and kudos to Vincent.

924
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 9: Uh.

925
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 17: I want to talk about our new governor. What they

926
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 17: did those two clowns and uh Trenton. They doubled our

927
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 17: energy costs and now she's going to put a cap

928
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 17: on it to be the hero.

929
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's going to be a mess. But you guys

930
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 3: are used to it in New Jersey. You keep collecting

931
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 3: these crazy idiots. Yeah.

932
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 17: And uh, when is uh Nick Shirley going to come

933
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 17: to New.

934
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 3: Here? Yeah, that's the other problem, you know. New Jersey

935
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 3: is just waste and fraud and bloat. That's why your

936
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 3: taxes are so high. If you got Nick Shirley and

937
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 3: Elon Musk going to bring there to clean it up,

938
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 3: doge the whole thing, your taxes would be about one

939
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,959
Speaker 3: third of what they are now. And if you didn't

940
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 3: know who this woman was, if I just played this

941
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 3: clip here, if I didn't tell you who this was,

942
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 3: would you think this is a governor of a state.

943
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 18: I would encourage everyone to, you know what, have a

944
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 18: great family day at home this weekend, play some born games.

945
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 18: Don't go out in this.

946
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you see, if you're the mayor or the governor,

947
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 3: you're supposed to put on that jacket, you know, that snowjacket,

948
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 3: that official jacket, and sound very serious and lay out everything.

949
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 3: They'll be over two thousand salt spreaders. We'll be doing this,

950
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 3: We'll be doing that. You're supposed to sound very official, authoritative,

951
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 3: like you've got everything planned. You're not supposed to just

952
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 3: be goofy.

953
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 18: And I would encourage everyone to, you know what, have

954
00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 18: a great family day at home this weekend. Pay some

955
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 18: board games.

956
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 3: Don't go out. Did they play board games anymore? You do?

957
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 3: I can't imagine when you got eight million TV channels,

958
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 3: when you got eight thousand streaming services, when you got

959
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 3: your phone, your laptop, who's going to play a board game?

960
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 3: But I guess people do. Hey, Sunday, you got two

961
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 3: great football games that will help. Let's go to Mario

962
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 3: in New Jersey. Mario, how you doing?

963
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 13: Oh, good morning, Mark, thanks for taking my call. Listen,

964
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 13: I'm sorry about Uncle Floyd's passing.

965
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 3: By this Uncle Floyd turns out to be the biggest

966
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 3: story of the day.

967
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 13: It is, and I got to my memories of him.

968
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 13: Or when I back in the seventies, I was in

969
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 13: the army in Fort Dix, and before we went down

970
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 13: on maneuvers or whatever, we'd sit in the rec room

971
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 13: and everybody, all these soldiers and all their uniforms, we'd

972
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 13: all be watching Uncle Floyd.

973
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 3: I can't think of anything more inspiring. Are you supposed

974
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 3: to be watching like Paton the movie or something, But

975
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 3: you're watching Uncle That's it, boy. But a lot of

976
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 3: people remember this guy. Let's go to Bill in Lafayette,

977
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 3: New Jersey. Bill, how you doing.

978
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 9: Okay? Mark? I graduated high school with Looney Skip Rooney,

979
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 9: who was a sidekick on the Uncle Floyd's show, and

980
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 9: he would invite me on the show just to watch

981
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 9: once in a while. So I used to bawl at

982
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 9: Eagle Rock and I walked over to the recording studio

983
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 9: and I talked to Skiff and a couple other people,

984
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 9: and they had this guest waiting in the hallway. So

985
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 9: I walked down and I thought it was tiny Tim,

986
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 9: but I was mistaken. But they introduced him on the

987
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 9: show later on, and it was Howard Stern. I'm going, oh, yeah,

988
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 9: who the hell is this guy?

989
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 3: I forgot about that. Howard Stern was on the Uncle

990
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 3: Floyd show. Yeah, absolutely, back in the eighties. So Uncle Floyd,

991
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 3: it was Looney Skip Rooney, and then who else was

992
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 3: on the show? I'm trying to remember.

993
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 5: Mister Silly.

994
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, was one of my favorites, the fat guy that

995
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 9: always eats a toast at the diner, and a couple

996
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 9: other guys. It's hard to remember, but it was a

997
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 9: great show. Was it was silly, it was goofy, it

998
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 9: was funny, it was entertaining, and Looney Skip Rooney was

999
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 9: a goof I actually tied with him as the funniest

1000
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 9: guy in the high school, but he beat me out

1001
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 9: by a couple of points.

1002
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't sound like the bar was too high

1003
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 3: in this high school for that time. All right, Well,

1004
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 3: thanks for calling, great call. Yeah, So now a lot

1005
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 3: of people remember Uncle Floyd. He passed away at the

1006
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 3: age of seventy four. Hey, when we come back, Steve

Speaker 1: Marnimone on seven ten WR.

1012
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 3: Well, looking for Steve Cuzo. We'll find him, We'll track

1013
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 3: him down. The snow is coming. It's going to begin

1014
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 3: after midnight on Saturday, could be as early as one am,

1015
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 3: more likely around three or four am on Saturday night.

1016
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 3: So we'll start when you wake up Sunday. It'll be snowing.

1017
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 3: It'll continue all day long, all days, just won't stop,

1018
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 3: and it'll go overnight Sunday night into Monday. Might stop

1019
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 3: Monday morning, but then come back just a little Monday afternoon,

1020
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 3: and then by the time it's all over. Expects six

1021
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 3: to eight inches. There's various models. One model shows four inches,

1022
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 3: one shows twelve, but most of them showing six to

1023
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 3: eight inches. So it'll be a mess. Hey, Steve Cuzo

1024
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 3: is the great columnist New York Post. Nobody better on

1025

Speaker 3: real estate restaurants, and what's going on in New York.

1026
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 3: Steve Cuzo, how you doing?

1027
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 8: Hey, good morning.

1028
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 19: I can't wait for this blizzard because I have a

1029
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 19: could source, Mark that tells me there's going to be

1030
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:04,280
Speaker 19: no inches.

1031
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know who that source is.

1032
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 19: It's another one of these overhyped phenomena, you know, I

1033
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 19: don't know.

1034
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 3: It looks like from our best weather people, it's locked

1035
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 3: in at this point. It's not gonna I know, I know,

1036
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 3: I know.

1037
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 8: Here we go.

1038
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 3: Hey, Hey, Yeah, from what I can see from your

1039
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 3: columns you're reporting and everything else I can see in here,

1040
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 3: Manhattan real estate is booming.

1041
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 8: Is that really the Yeah, it's yeah, it's not.

1042
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 19: It's the whole city, but especially Manhattan's a phenomenon. You know,

1043
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 19: last night, I don't know if you were there, Mark,

1044
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 19: but it was a Real Estate Board of New York's

1045
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 19: annual gala event, biggest party in real estate and at

1046
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 19: the it was at the Waldorf Astoria, and which was

1047
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,720
Speaker 19: a great thing because they for one year they didn't

1048
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 19: do it because of COVID. Then three years was at

1049
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 19: this event space on the far West Side that nobody

1050
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 19: wanted to go to. And so now it's back in

1051
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 19: full for us at the Waldorf for the first time.

1052
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 19: And you know, the Waldorf is the new Waldorf is

1053
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,720
Speaker 19: quite spectacular, and it was a party.

1054
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 8: It was a celebration.

1055
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 19: Had all these real estate people, both commercial and residential,

1056
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 19: having a blast, and they were well dressed, and it

1057
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 19: really felt like a celebration. That said, you know, when

1058
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 19: I worried about Trump, when I worried about Mamdani, when

1059
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 19: I worried about you know whatever, Greenland, we had a great.

1060
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 8: Year and they did.

1061
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 19: You know, there were a record number of excuse me,

1062
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:37,760
Speaker 19: commercial market which I cover, leasing was over the moon

1063
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 19: building sales which had really lacked behind the leasing improvement

1064
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 19: over the since the end of the pandemic. And last

1065
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 19: year it was like eleven billion dollars of investment sales,

1066
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 19: which means that's the term for sales of buildings and

1067
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 19: selling office buildings. First time in five year years there

1068
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 19: was a sale for over a billion dollars five ninety

1069
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 19: Park Avenue on Madison Avenue. So real estate is doing

1070
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 19: phenomenally well. The only thing I don't believe is doing

1071
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 19: as well as they say is retail. You know, I

1072
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 19: get tired of reading all these wonderful surveys by all

1073
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 19: the brokerages, by the Business Improvement districts, by the Real

1074
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 19: Estate Board of New York itself, about how you know,

1075
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 19: record retail leasing, this that, and I walk around and.

1076
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 8: I see gazillions of empty stores. But you know, it's

1077
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 8: a matter of there's a lot of nuance.

1078
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 3: But that real estate, real estate stuff. That's not a

1079
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 3: factor of Mandani or leadership. That's just retail diying.

1080
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 8: No, no, no, Also residential sales.

1081
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 19: This is not my field of expertise, as you know,

1082
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 19: but from everything I'm told and everything I read in

1083
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 19: the post and elsewhere, a great year for the residential market.

1084
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 19: Super high sales of luxury condos and co ops, co

1085
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 19: ops to the real rally after a couple of years

1086
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 19: of playing second fiddle to condos. A lot of people

1087
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 19: don't want co ops anymore, but they bounce back to

1088
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 19: So yeah, it's a hell of a good sign for

1089
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 19: the city as a whole, no matter what happens on

1090
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 19: the social front.

1091
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 8: You know, all the problems with the.

1092
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 19: Schools, which Mondani is only likely to make worse.

1093
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:23,919
Speaker 8: So yeah, it was. It was a banner year.

1094
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 3: One of those jentas is yelling everybody's leaving New York.

1095
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 3: It's not true. It's not true, of course not.

1096
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 8: It's never been true. And uh in the past. I

1097
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 8: remember when when Trump.

1098
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 19: Got elected, people everybody was leaving the country, remember that one.

1099
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, and then when you got reelected, there was there

1100
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 8: was nobody left to leap because everybody had already left.

1101
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 19: So yeah, these things. Look, you know, we've got to

1102
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 19: sell papers. Broadcast media has to attract the viewers.

1103
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

1104
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 19: Social media just has to make a lot of noise

1105
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 19: whenever they can. So uh yeah, I don't have any

1106
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 19: good feelings whatever about Mamdani. And yet I think that

1107
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 19: commercial real estate, especially is oblivious to this. The only

1108
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 19: thing that could be harmful is if the governor, you know,

1109
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 19: caves in and gives in too Mumdanni's pipe dream of

1110
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 19: raising taxes on corporations and everything. She wouldn't do that

1111
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 19: this year because she's up for reelection, but next year

1112
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 19: the following year could be a problem.

1113
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 8: But commercial real estate is so strong.

1114
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 19: It's the driver of the New York economy, not just

1115
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 19: the city, but the state, and it's a power behind

1116
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 19: the entire national economy. Real estate taxes from real estate

1117
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 19: contribute more to the city Treasury than any other than

1118
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 19: anything else more than Wall Street, for example.

1119
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 8: Most people don't know that, but it's a fact.

1120
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 3: So when you see stores closed, wait where you read

1121
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 3: about the Sacks going bankrupt? This the only reason for

1122
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 3: that is online. It has nothing to do with New York, right.

1123
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 19: Well, it has, it's online shopping is a factor. But

1124
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 19: you notice that Bloomingdale's is doing fine, Macy's is doing fine.

1125
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 8: Nord Stream is having no problem.

1126
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 19: In the case of Sacks Global, the parents company which

1127
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 19: includes Sacks and Nieman Marcus, which they stupidly bought about

1128
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 19: a year and a half ago, and Burgdorf Goodman, the

1129
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 19: only Burgdorf Goodman in the world is right here in

1130
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 19: New York on Fifth Avenue, that was a lot of

1131
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 19: mismanagement and a lot of needless over expansion.

1132
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 8: You know, retail is not my forte.

1133
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 19: But I do know I'm very skeptical of all large

1134
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 19: sized mergers and acquisitions because inevitably any merger or acquisition

1135
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 19: uh saddles the company with enormous debt, and they basically

1136
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 19: served to. I mean, they can have their you know,

1137
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 19: good consequences as well. But I believe that I remember

1138
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 19: aol Time Warner once upon a time. Right, all they

1139
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 19: do is saddle the company with debt and they and

1140
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 19: they enrich all the excuse me, all the inside players,

1141
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 19: corporate executives, investment bankers, lawyers, accountants, consultants.

1142
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 8: At the expense of everybody else. Anyway, in the case

1143
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 8: of Sacks, the stores aren't going to close.

1144
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 19: I mean they are going to close a few stores

1145
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 19: outside of New York, yes, but it looks like they're

1146
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 19: on their way to restructuring. They're getting a cash or

1147
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 19: liquidity infusion, and presumably life and business will go on

1148
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 19: here as it did in the past, at least from

1149
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 19: the consumer's point of view. If you go to Sacks

1150
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 19: right now, they're stretching the merchandise. You can see it

1151
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 19: on the shelves, but because they weren't paying their vendors.

1152
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 8: But I think that's going to change.

1153
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 3: Hey, Steve Kisser, there's a lot of skyscrapers going up.

1154
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 3: I mean one hundred stories, seventy story, sixty stories, They're

1155
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 3: going up all over the place, fifty seventh Street, Park Avenue, Addison.

1156
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 3: So can we handle all that extra traffic here?

1157
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,439
Speaker 8: You mean, do you mean crowding? Mark?

1158
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 3: What do yours?

1159
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 8: Ye?

1160
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 19: New York has always been overcrowded. I say, the more overcrowding,

1161
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:19,919
Speaker 19: the better. It's it means life, it means people spending money. Uh,

1162
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 19: it makes it's what makes the city exciting, why people

1163
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:24,479
Speaker 19: want to come here, where they want to be here.

1164
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 19: So over the Christmas holidays, you know, my office is

1165
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,919
Speaker 19: two blocks away from the Rockefeller Center tree, and I

1166
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 19: hated every minute of it, of the six weeks between

1167
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 19: roughly Thanksgiving and you know, right after New Year's and.

1168
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 8: Because you couldn't move on the streets.

1169
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 19: I couldn't literally couldn't get into the subway right next

1170
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 19: door to my building because I had to fight my

1171
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 19: way through crowds.

1172
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 8: And yet that's a selfish concern.

1173
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 19: The bigger picture is that it's it's life, it's energy,

1174
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 19: and it's commitment, and it's well for New York City.

1175
01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 8: So I'm a I'm all for that.

1176
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got a lot of hot new restaurants that

1177
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 3: are I mean, have we ever had this many jam

1178
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 3: Peck restaurants in New York?

1179
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 8: I don't know.

1180
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 19: It depends the good restaurants, the important restaurants, the ones

1181
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 19: that are backed by big money. I think I'd never

1182
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 19: done better. There's a squeeze in the middle and at

1183
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 19: the lower end. You know, everybody's oh, the rent is

1184
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 19: too high. All that rent has always been too high.

1185
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 19: But every Basically, what it comes down to is every

1186
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 19: place that I go, which is by no means you know,

1187
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 19: the the the only the elite restaurants, as you might think,

1188
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 19: I go to all kinds of restaurants.

1189
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 8: It's hard to get a table anywhere. And this is January.

1190
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 19: January is traditionally the worst month for restaurants in New York.

1191
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 19: I mean, in the past, you could have gotten seats

1192
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 19: at when Noble was in its original location and the

1193
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 19: hottest restaurant in like the country.

1194
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 8: You could easily get tables at Noble the week oft

1195
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 8: from the month of January. That's not true anymore.

1196
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 19: And I've been to excuse me, nickid restaurants like Lusardies

1197
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 19: on First Second Avenue the other night and they're all packed.

1198
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 8: And this is it was about twelve degrees out. Yeah,

1199
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 8: So what does that say?

1200
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 3: Well, that's good. New York is booming. That's good to hear.

1201
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 3: You should read Steve Cuso's columns. All his columns are

01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 3: up on the New York Post website. You can read
