1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Now seven Wor presents.

Speaker 2: No Mark Simon Show. Well, we we'll get to the

Speaker 2: super Bowl. We'll get to the Guthrie kidnapping, bring all

00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: the latest. We'll get to the Washington Post. We'll get

Speaker 2: to voter ID, We'll get to the crazy Mayor. We'll

Speaker 2: get to Gallain. Maxwell testifying today, lots to talk about,

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: Like you, I probably I don't feel so great. Stomach full,

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: stomach ache from last eating too much. Super Bowl party,

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: you know, yesterday, of course super Bowl Sunday. Today they

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: call it miswork Monday. A lot of people call in

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: sick today or plan ahead and take the day off

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: because of the super Bowl party. So twenty six million,

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: twenty six million people have taken the day off today.

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: Maybe I should have too, but no, no, it's better

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: to work. Super Bowl was possibly the most boring Super

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: Bowl game ever. It was just a total mis match.

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: The season, it was a very weird season. Scheduling was

18
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: bad because the Patriots, they called it a soft schedule.

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: They didn't get any really tough games. They got really

20
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: easy teams to play, got them to seventeen and three,

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 2: which they probably didn't deserve. Then some weird things happen

22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: in the playoffs where the teams that should have gone

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: to the super Bowl, Denver, the Bills, the Ramp the

24
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: teams that should have gone because just the way the

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: playoffs worked out, they somehow accidentally got eliminated. So you

26
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: had the Patriots, who weren't really ready for a super

27
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: Bowl against Seattle. So the Patriots not enough offense against

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: the best defense in the world, and it was a

29
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: kind of a dull game. Patriots are going to be great.

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: They were in the Super Bowl a couple of years

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: too early. Otherwise it went pretty well. You know, the

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: commercials were great, they were really well done, but they

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: didn't have the impact they usually have. A lot of

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: people not that thrilled with the commercials. I think the

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: reason is those commercials on the Super Bowl really dazzled you.

36
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: But now in the world of AI and Instagram and TikTok,

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: you see so many unbelievable videos AI videos, so many

38
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: unbelievable videos every second, all day long, every day, that

39
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: by the time you get to the Super Bowl, it's

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: nothing I've seen better than that on TikTok all all week.

41
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: So that's gonna be a problem. I'm not gonna deal

42
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: with that because those commercials are important. Bad Bunny, It

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: was pretty good. It was nothing offensive. Look great, move great.

44
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: Then I don't know what Ally's singing. It's certainly a snappy,

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: bouncy Now you see a guy like that can't really

46
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: be offensive. Nobody knows what the hell he's saying. What

47
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: the hell is this guy talking about? Nobody knows. Well,

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: if you speak Spanish, I guess you know what the

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: Helly's saying, but most of us don't. We don't know

50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: what the hell he said, but I don't know. Look, hey, listen, musically,

51
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: it's it's not Carnegie Hall, it's the super Bowl. That's

52
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: good enough for the super Bowl. You know. The problem is,

53
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: we'll talk about this later. It used to be a

54
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: mainstream artist who everybody knew would perform at the super Bowl.

55
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: It'd be Billy Joel, it'd be the Rolling Stones, it'd

56
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: be the most mainstream. Everybody every age knew them, loved them.

57
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: You can't do that anymore. We'll talk about this a

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: little later. You can't come up with any artist that

59
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: everybody would like or everybody would know. It's also splintered nowadays.

60
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: Nancy Guthrie, the Kidnapping, The Deadline is today at five

61
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: o'clock for six million dollars to be delivered in bitcoin.

62
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going to happen at five o'clock today.

63
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: I'll just give you all the latest on it over

64
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: the weekend. Yeah, And one reason you're not hearing much.

65
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: You noticed the first couple days you heard a lot

66
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: and that goofy local sheriff was having a press conference

67
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: every hour. Every two hours, there were these press conferences,

68
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: the statements that were revealing stuff. All of a sudden,

69
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: it went quiet the last four or five days. That's

70
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: because the FEDS took over the FBI, and the FEDS

71
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: took over and the FBI. Feds are very quiet. They

72
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: don't reveal things, they keep it. They keep a lid

73
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: on everything. So that's what's been going on for the

74
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: last few days. What we can piece together is they believe,

75
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: they have reason to believe the kidnappers were in the

76
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 2: house a long time, over a half hour. That's unusual. Now,

77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: a woman in that age who's not mobile, who can't

78
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: walk without a cane, it's very hard to move her,

79
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: and that might have taken them while. But they believe

80
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: they were in the house doing something and that's why

81
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: they've been back in the house all weekend. They've been

82
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: seen coming in removing suitcases and bags full of stuff,

83
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: some sort of evidence. They've even gone through the septic

84
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: tank of the house. They believe that while the kidnappers

85
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: are there, they might have disposed of evidence, flushed it

86
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: down the toilet. That's what they were looking for. They've

87
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: been back in the house looking for DNA. They don't

88
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: believe that it's possible for kidnappers to be in the

89
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: house for over a half hour and not leave something,

90
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: if not fingerprints, DNA, something some kind of clues. They've

91
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: been up on the roof. It's believed there might have

92
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: been another camera up on the roof. But the other

93
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: reason they were on the roof is if you've seen

94
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: the video where it shows the roof, it's bright white.

95
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: It's really clean white the roof, and neighbors have pointed

96
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: out that when you live in that area, your roof

97
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: gets very dirty, it gets grimy, it gets gray from

98
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: the elements, and that because it was so white, it

99
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: was so new looking. They believe that she recently had

100
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: a roof redone and they're looking at that right now.

101
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: They believe for various reasons that the kidnappers were familiar

102
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: with this woman, familiar with the house, and that could

103
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: indicate friends, relatives, but more likely it could indicate workers,

104
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: people who were recently in the house doing work. If

105
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: there's any kind of servants there, a housekeeper, an aid

106
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: or something like that, obviously they've talked to them. But

107
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 2: if she recently had her roof redone, they'll be talking

108
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: to those workers. Anybody's been in the house, they're familiar

109
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 2: with the situation. So five o'clock today is the deadline.

110
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: They want six million dollars in bitcoin. You've seen the

111
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: video where Savannah Guthrie and the family say, we just

112
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: want our mother back, we want to celebrate with her.

113
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: We'll pay. And that's a very very very carefully scripted

114
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: statement that she made. The FBI has hostage negotiators, experts

115
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: at how to talk to kidnappers, and they've worded that

116
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: thing very carefully with keywords, trigger words, things that appeal

117
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 2: in the right way to kidnappers. So that's why it

118
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: was so carefully read. Other than that, we'll just see,

119
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: we'll see. It turns out, we find out now when

120
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: her mother went missing and she wanted to go to

121
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: the police. Savannah Guthrie first called Senator Mark Kelly, the

122
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: Arizona Senator spoke to him first and asked him to

123
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: call the police. Asked he's the senator from Arizona, asked

124
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: him to call the authorities and get them going. So

125
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: that's how it all started. FBI believes this is some

126
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: it's not. In other words, they've said it's not a

127
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: traditional kidnapping. Something's not traditional here. A they were in

128
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: the house way too long. Also, ransom notes go to

129
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: the family. In this case, they're sending the ransom notes

130
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: to the media. They're sending it to local TV stations.

131
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: That's very unusual. That's extremely unusual. They don't quite know

132
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: what that means. It might just mean they want it

133
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: to go very public for some reason. Otherwise, why wouldn't

134
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: you just send it to a family. Usually when a

135
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: kidnapping happens, nobody hears about it until it's over because

136
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: it's right to the family and they keep it quiet.

137
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: But the ransom notes are going to the media, extremely unusual,

138
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: so not traditional. Also, they were in the house a

139
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: very long time. The neighborhood where she lives, very very

140
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: close to the Mexican border. It's just a few miles away.

141
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: So they're also thinking that these kidnappers could have come

142
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: from Mexico or they could have gone to Mexico. In

143
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: one of the ransom demands, it said USD US dollars

144
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: instead of just six million dollars six million USD usd.

145
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: It's usually a phrase, a term used by foreigners. Americans

146
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: don't usually use it. That's another reason they suspect Mexico. So, hey,

147
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: Gallaine Maxwell testifies today. She's going to do it from

148
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: jail by zoom. It's in front of the Congressional Committee.

149
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: She's going to testify in the Epstein stuff. She has

150
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: already said she'll take the Fifth Amendment. Now her conviction,

151
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: she's gotten appeal coming up. She goes back into a

152
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: court to appeal her conviction, so that would justify the

153
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: Fifth Amendment. You don't want to do anything to screw

154
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: up her upcoming appeal, so you won't hear much of anything.

155
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: You'll get to look at her, but don't expect much

156
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 2: to come out of that. I've been reading through the

157
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: Epstein files all weekend. It's fascinating. You just google, just

158
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: google Epstein files. It'll take you to the Department of

159
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: Justice website where they have it's called they call it

160
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: the Epstein Library. It has a search bar, so in

161
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 2: there you type whatever name you want. It'll bring you

162
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: all the things that are in the Epstein files. Just

163
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: for the hell of it. I type my name. I

164
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: came up six times. Nothing bad, nothing bad, all harmless,

165
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: innocent stuff. I always kept my distance from Epstein, but

166
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: he was going to come to a luncheon where I

167
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: was the MC. So that's how one thing got in there.

168
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: He was friends with Jackie Martlin, Jackie the joke Man,

169
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: emailing back and forth of them, so I got mentioned

170
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: in one of those emails. Nothing is totally harmless, innocent stuff,

171
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. Who else is all through it?

172
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: Woody Allen is all through it now? Woody Allen continued.

173
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: You know, after Hollywood got done with him, he continued

174
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: to make movies. But to make those movies and there

175
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: were low budget movies. All the Woody Allen films, good films,

176
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: but low budget. He had to go find wealthy people

177
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: to finance the movies outside of Hollywood, so Epstein was

178
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: one of them. He got Epstein to finance the movies

179
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: and Epstein would pay for his movies. Now, in exchange

180
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: for that, Woody Ellan has to keep showing up at

181
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: Epstein's house whenever Epstein tells him, please come to my

182
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: dinner party. Please come to this party. I'm having lunch

183
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: with these people. Please come. So whenever Epstein had a

184
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: bunch of CEOs or whoever he was trying to impress,

185
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: he'd have Woody Allen come and sit with them at dinner.

186
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: That was the price for the financing his films. Dick

187
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: Cavitt shows up in the Epstein files. I guess Woody

188
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: Allen's very close to Dick cat. Woody Allen must have

189
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: dragged him into this. And Cabot not as much as

190
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: what he owaned, but he wanted some financing. He was

191
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: looking to do a PBS special. You know when you

192
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: see those big PBS specials, somebody has to pay for them.

193
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: PBS very rarely pays for him. Somebody has to finance him.

194
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: So there was going to be an American Master's Profile

195
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: Attic Cabot. But Cabot had to get the financing, so

196
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: Epstein volunteered to pay it. It was four hundred and

197
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: eighty thousand dollars. Now in exchange for that, you'll see

198
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: in the emails. He wants Cabot to show up at

199
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 2: this lunch with a bunch of his friends. He wants

200
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: Cabot to come to this party he's having. He wants

201
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: Cabot to come to this dinner he's having. So that's

202
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 2: the price you pay. The most embarrassing one of these

203
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: college presidents. Epstein would make big donations to the colleges,

204
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: but some of the I don't want to mention names

205
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: because some of them I know. But these college presidents,

206
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: they would be at his house every week and constantly

207
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: calling him and coming to his house every which way.

208
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 2: We got some Steve Tish is in there. It doesn't

209
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: look so good, Steve Tish. They're always talking about women.

210
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: And there's one email exchange he's trying to there's some

211
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: young woman, not underage, but a younger woman, let's say,

212
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: in her twenties. Tish is trying to invite her to

213
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 2: Boston for the weekend. And she said, you know, I'm

214
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: in school, I go to college. I can't come to

215
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's not a problem for Steve Tish.

216
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: Remember Bob Kraft with the with that little strip mall,

217
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: massage parlor whatever.

218
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 3: I mean.

219
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: If that didn't get them in trouble with the NFL,

220
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 2: the Steve Tish thing won't. Otherwise it's pretty harmless. Hey,

221
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: we have a new cardinal began this weekend. His first

222
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 2: service was this Sunday Friday. It was the big luncheon,

223
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: you know, to welcome the new cardinal. I noticed it

224
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: was not like the other cardinals. It was not like

225
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: Doluna O'Connor. I noticed the governor didn't come, the mayor

226
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: didn't come. A lot of people didn't come for the

227
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: new cardinal, and a lot of people not crazy about

228
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 2: this new cardinal. He's sort of a left wing, woke cardinal.

229
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: He doesn't sound great, you know, Dolan, besides being the

230
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 2: most magnificent, wonderful guy you could ever know, and a

231
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: great leader, very inspirational this guy and Dolan incredible speaker,

232
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: makes amazing speeches. This guy doesn't sound so great. He's

233
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: not the great speaker here here he is.

234
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 4: Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from

235
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 4: the neighborhood. I'm in a New York state of mind,

236
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: concrete jungles where dreams are made of. There's nothing you

237
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 4: can't do now you're in New York.

238
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: Uh, all right again, not the most impressive speaker in

239
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: the world. But he's the new Cardinal. Ronald Hicks is

240
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: his name. Maybe he'll get better, Maybe he'll get better.

241
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: But you know, we keep saying that about mom Donnie,

242
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 2: but it's I don't know. We'll get to Donnie and

243
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: why the snow didn't get picked up so fast? And

244
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: got a whole lot more to get to. We'll get

245
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: to voter ID, we'll get to the Washington Post. Big

246
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: mess over there, everybody, you're getting laid off. The CEO

247
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: quit resigned. He didn't resign, he got fired. I'll tell

248
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: you why later. But he got fired. You know, he pretended.

249
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: They allowed him to pretend to quit, and he put

250
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: out one of those statements that I would like to

251
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: spend more time with this. I want to spend more

252
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: time with my family. Have you seen his family? Nobody

253
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: wants to spend more time with them. They always give

254
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: you that same crazy excuse. But oh wait, we got

255
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: a lot to get to, so we'll get back. When

256
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: we'll get to the super Bowl, we'll go over Bad

Speaker 1: Oh?

267
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 5: Really, we got action for a few days. I'm having

268
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 5: I tore the rotator cuff in my left hip, so.

269
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: There's a rotator cuff in there in your hip.

270
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have rotator cuff and both hips and both shoulders. Yeah,

271
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 5: well pretty much what happens. I've pulled the gluten muscle

272
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 5: off the bone, so they got to reattach it.

273
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: That's a little too much information, but I think you'll

274
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: be fine. I think you're gonna do fine.

275
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Thanks.

276
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: All you got to do is you'll wake up. You'll

277
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: be fine.

278
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 5: That's it. Yeah, take some painkillers and for a couple

279
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 5: of days and it'll be a little better. You know.

280
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 5: So some of my liberal friends are up in arms

281
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 5: about the Voter Registration Act and you have to show ID.

282
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 5: And I said, you got to show an ID to

283
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 5: get into the CNN building. You gotta show an ID

284
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 5: to buy booze, buy cigarettes by Latto, by this, by that,

285
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 5: I had to show my driver's license to pick up

286
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 5: some fish supplies I pre ordered at the local pet store.

287
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 5: I mean, and these people just up and arms. It's

288
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 5: all about as much cheating as they could possibly get

289
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 5: away with.

290
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: M Yeah, definitely. Well anyway, good luck tomorrow. You'll be fine.

291
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: But good luck with the surgery tomorrow. Let's go to

292
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: Tom in Point Pleasant, Tom. How you doing.

293
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's good morning, Mark, Mark. I let ask you

294
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 6: a quick question about the Guthrie kidnapping. Last week, they

295
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 6: said that this tomaso'siani was a prime suspect, and since

296
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 6: then there has been no word about him, and he's

297
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 6: not in any of the videos supporting his wife and family.

298
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: Are you talking about the brother in law? Yes, yeah,

299
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. Some people got the idea. He didn't

300
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: like the way the brother in law looked in the video.

301
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: They didn't like he didn't come out he was I

302
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: don't know. They were suspicious of the brother in law

303
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: that he was somehow involved. I don't know. I mean,

304
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: you got to figure. The family knows him as well

305
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: as anybody, and they they are including him in the video.

306
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: So I don't know, it's just it's a rumor going

307
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: around about the brother in law. Let's go to Mike

308
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: and Florida. Mike, how you doing.

309
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: Morning, Mark, Yes, Mike, you'll be happy to know.

310
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 7: I'm on my way to go see Marty Supreme.

311
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: Oh, you'll love that film. It's a great movie. Because

312
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: you live in Florida, nothing else to do during the

313
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 2: day except go to the movies and go to launch.

314
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I'm taken advantage of one of my DGA perks,

315
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 7: so I get a screening.

316
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: Oh, Director's Guild of America. You get a discount. That's

317
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: the other thing in Florida. Everybody wants a discount on everything.

318
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 5: Well, that brings me to my point.

319
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 7: One of the things I'm gleaning gleaning from these Epstein

320
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 7: files is none of these rich people like to reach

321
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 7: into their own pockets. You mean to tell me that

322
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 7: Big Cavic doesn't have a half a million dollars in

323
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 7: the bank that he could finance his own, you know.

324
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 5: His own project with well And there's a.

325
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 7: Lot of stories like this.

326
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: There there no well it's kind of a rule and

327
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: show business. You don't finance your own projects. It's no.

328
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: I like, if you're doing a Broadway show, if it's Andrew,

329
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: Lloyd Weber, anybody, they go out and they raise the money,

330
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: and the one or two times I've seen the guy

331
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 2: put up his own money, it's like a jinx and

332
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: the whole thing is a disaster and you lose your money.

333
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 7: So it just seems amazing because there's a lot of

334
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 7: these stories seem to be Oh, they went visited him

335
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 7: because they needed money, so so went to the you

336
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 7: know the house, wait allan, you know.

337
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: No, it's just tradition, even if you're Scorsese, even if

338
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: you're whoever you are, Wolfe of Wall Street. They couldn't

339
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: get Hollywood money. So they went out and they found

340
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: private financing. But you never financial ow movie. It always

341
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 2: it's like a curse against that. It always leads a disaster.

342
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: Maybe two or three times I've seen somebody who thought

343
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: this Broadway show, this movie, it's such a sure thing,

344
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: it can't miss. I'll put up my own money, and

345
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden it bombs and you just

346
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: don't ever do it. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent.

347
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: How you doing.

348
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, good luck rich tomorrow which

349
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: is surgery. Mark. When you close your show Friday, you

350
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 3: talked about a great man in the Middle military under

351
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: the tutelage of Donald Trump catching capturing the SOB who

352
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 3: did the attack on Benghazi. I saw the hit live

353
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: that night on Italian TV, which was six hours ahead,

354
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: and they had a journalist that I would if you wanted,

355
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 3: I would when we were off Mike, I'll give you

356
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 3: the name of the journalist and everything who was embedded,

357
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: and they blindfolded him, brought him to the access roads

358
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: to the ambassador's compound. They showed on film the terrorists

359
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: put it and raise a wire across the roads. Bob

360
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: wires the roads, and I saw the initial beginning of

361
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 3: the attack. I saw it then when he Chris Stevens

362
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 3: must have had a surrogate. He must had a corrupt

363
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 3: individual embedded with him, because when they got added the

364
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: first the ambassador's residents, they went to a safe house,

365
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: and as soon as they got to the safe house,

366
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: the terrorists were already there. I saw Tyrone Woods before

367
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: he got whacked on the roof. They called into sackcom

368
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: for support. Obama never mentioned that because that would have

369
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 3: brought down his second election, and the Obama administration told

370
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 3: him that the jets the support were too far away

371
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: in Sicily and that was a bunch of crappic.

372
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: There's a little more to it, but that's what you

373
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 2: watched on TV last night.

374
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: No, because what happened was was I was trying to

375
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 3: get to the video to Sean Hannity, and there must

376
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: have been a liberal news director on the Italian station

377
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 3: when Obama came out with that BS story about the cartoon,

378
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: you couldn't find a video. They scrubbed.

379
00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 2: Vincent.

380
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: Yes, Mark, that guy was shut up from the very beginning.

381
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Vincent, thanks for calling. Yeah, I told was

382
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 2: a long story about ben Ghazi. And you know the

383
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: problem is Obama. When they were working on what to do,

384
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 2: it was like twenty guys in the situation room and

385
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 2: Obama left the room. It was about six seven o'clock

386
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: at night. He decided that was the end of the

387
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: workday and he went up to the residence. He didn't

388
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: stay there until something happened, and he said to all

389
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: twenty guys, do whatever you need to do for them

390
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 2: and left. It doesn't work that way. You got to

391
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: put one guy in charge because when it's twenty people,

392
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 2: nobody wants to make the decision to send any troops in.

393
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 2: So he should have put some, he should have stayed.

394
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 2: But also just put one person in charge and tell

395
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 2: him it's your decision. But anyway, so they've captured the mastermind.

396
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 2: He's in custody, in federal custody in Washington. Hey, when

397
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 2: we come back, Roger Friedman, the Great Entertainment Reporter. All right,

398
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,320

399
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 2: the commercials, everything. We'll get to all of that coming

00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: up next, and we'll get to Epstein with him and

408
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm great, Good morning. How are you? Mark?

409
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 2: I'm good? Little stuffed over eating that Super Bowl stuff.

410
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: That's party, I know, which you think the game was

411
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: pretty boring, but what do you think of the rest

412
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: of it?

413
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 8: I thought the Bad Bunny was fabulous. I thought the

414
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 8: show was beautifully produced. I liked all the acts before that.

415
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 8: I thought Green Day was terrific and Brandy Carlisle and

416
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 8: I loved Coco Jones.

417
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 2: You know it was great. It's the toughest thing to

418
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 2: do national anthem. You know it was great. Was Charlie Pooth,

419
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: He was really good.

420
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: Charliepooth was excellent. He was excellent. But and I love

421
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: to the he set up all that gospel choir.

422
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: But what the hell was he wearing that beat up

423
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 2: leather jacket. He looked like a munks in the cab

424
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: driver on all in the family. What was he wearing?

425
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 2: That's the super Bowl? Put a nice jacket on.

426
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know. Somebody should have addressed him, but

427
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 8: he did. But musically it was very good. And he

428
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 8: said it was a tribute to Whitney Houston, who did

429
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 8: the best one of all. So h so that was

430
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 8: very nice. And then Bad Bunny with Lady Gaga was fabulous.

431
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 8: And Ricky Martin was a really nice nod. This Bad

432
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 8: Bunny is such a respecting, respectful guy and he knows

433
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 8: that Ricky Martin is the biggest star in Puerto Rico.

434
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 8: So he had him on and H and his whole

435
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 8: it was g It was like g rated, It was

436
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 8: so h wholesome.

437
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: It was in Spanish. Who knows what he was saying.

438
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: But you know what the problem, Well we can tell it.

439
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: I know everyone complaining that they were in subtitles.

440
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 2: Now here's the problem with bad Bunny in today's world.

441
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 2: This guy's the biggest star in the world, but half

442
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: the audience doesn't know who the hell he is. And

443
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: you could have.

444
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 8: I don't know, Mark, he sold like ten million albums

445
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 8: last year.

446
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but if you go to people over

447
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: forty five, they don't know who he is. Fifty they

448
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: don't know who he is. You know, in the good old.

449
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: Days forty six, well, I know who he is.

450
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: No, But in the good old days you have the

451
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 2: Rolling Stones. Everybody loved them, Billy Joel, everybody. There's no

452
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: such thing as a mainstream artist anymore. That every demo

453
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: everybody knows.

454
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 8: No, that's hard to do. That, that's definitely hard to do.

455
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 8: And you can't get those Listen, these people bad Bunnies

456
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 8: in his I don't know thirties. You can't get these

457
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,239
Speaker 8: eighty year old people to come out and perform at

458
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 8: the halftime. Yeah, but there's no use to start developing

459
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 8: younger acts, you know.

460
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 2: Like take where I'm sitting right now here at iHeart.

461
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: We got Z one hundred over there, we got QWO

462
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 2: one O four down there the place, classic rock, we

463
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: got the Power one oh five. There's no artist that

464
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: could be played on every station. Each one has their

465
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: own music. They're all separate musicow So.

466
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 8: We were growing up when we were growing up in

467
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 8: the radio, we would listen to WABC, yeah, and they'd

468
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 8: play a country song, an R and B song, a

469
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 8: rock song, a pop song. It was all like but

470
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 8: you know, as you're right, it's splintered into all these

471
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 8: different genres. And it's sort of sad in a way

472
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 8: because we learned a lot about other music when we

473
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 8: used to listen to the radio, and now they can't

474
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 8: do that.

475
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: But if you go back to like the nineteen sixty

476
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: Super Bowls halftime was like Andy Williams, can you imagine?

477
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:39,959
Speaker 2: You can't even picture of that.

478
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 8: But now they had Al Hurt in nineteen sixty seven,

479
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 8: they had Al Hurt play the horn he was a trumpet.

480
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 2: Player for New Orleans. He had a couple of hit singles.

481
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah.

482
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 2: Here's the other problem. The commercials, which were phenomenal, had

483
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: very little impact. I think is in today's world there's

484
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 2: a million videos AI videos on TikTok, Instagram, you get

485
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: thousands of the day. So after all of that, the

486
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 2: commercials don't impression anymore.

487
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 8: The commercials have been diluted, there's no question about it.

488
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 8: And I really could not stand the one with Ben

489
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 8: Affleck sending up Goodwill Hunting, and it's really interesting because

490
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 8: he had all these like weird TV stars in it,

491
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 8: but he didn't have Mac Damon, who was in Goodwill

492
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 8: Hunting with him and they won the Oscar together.

493
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: For writing the screenplay.

494
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 8: I think Mac Damon said I'll sit this one out

495
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 8: because that was a big mistake and it made Goodwill

496
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 8: Hunting is a great movie, and they made it seem silly,

497
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 8: you know, And it's enough with Ben Affleck and Duck

498
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 8: and donuts.

499
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: Really enough.

500
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: Hey, Roger Friedman, have you been reading through the Epstein files.

501
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 8: I have been reading a lot of the Epstein files.

502
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 2: Through there.

503
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 8: Well, there's nothing about Woody Allen bad the thing is

504
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 8: that nothing bad, but you know that.

505
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: Look Jack lenn who's.

506
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 8: The French cultural minister, he's in it too. What Jeffrey

507
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 8: Epstein did, which was a terrible thing, as it turns out,

508
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 8: is that he was giving all these people money and

509
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 8: attention and they were taking it and they didn't know

510
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 8: what was going on. They didn't go to the island,

511
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 8: they didn't do any of that stuff. They didn't know

512
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 8: about the girls. But but Jeffrey Epstein was offering them

513
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 8: a chance. As we would say, some of your listeners

514
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 8: listeners will know this word snoring. A lot of these

515
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 8: people were schnoring off of Jeffrey Epstein. He was offering

516
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 8: them plane rides and dinners and making phone call influential

517
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 8: phone calls for them, and everybody was saying yes because

518
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 8: they thought, why not, he's not asking for anything in return. Well,

519
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 8: so all he really wanted was he was sort of

520
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 8: he was. What he was doing was paying everyone to

521
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 8: be his influential friends.

522
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the only he had doing he wanted

523
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: if you're Woody Allen, you had he would have a

524
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 2: dinner party with a bunch of CEOs. You had to

525
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 2: come to his dinner and sit there and impress everybody

526
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: that you were there. Uh, you had to come to

527
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 2: a few lunches that kind of stuff.

528
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 8: Yo, I know what he pretty well, and I know, listen,

529
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 8: what do you and Sinny they have no other fault

530
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 8: except that, like everybody in Hollywood, they want a free dinner.

531
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

532
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: Well, actually Putting in Hollywood wants a free dinner.

533
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: Apparently he's looking for financing for his movies. But you know,

534
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: in every Broadway show, the way they raised money, Yeah,

535
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: the way they raised money by getting these New Jersey

536
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: housewives with money to put in five hundred thousand said,

537
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: oh my god. And they have to pretend that they're

538
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: the producers and listen to these people.

539
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 8: That's I recently went through something like that, or I've

540
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 8: listened to people doing that.

541
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

542
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: So, but you know, but there's all these people.

543
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 8: Uh, there are a lot of people in there who

544
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 8: I think are actually kind of victims.

545
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: Not the women.

546
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 8: I mean the women thing is serious with the women

547
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 8: who were trafficked, but these other people were sort of

548
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 8: victimized too because they didn't understand what Jeffrey Epstein was

549
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 8: doing to them.

550
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: He was really evil.

551
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, I made the Epstein files.

552
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: Did your congratulations.

553
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: Nothing bad, nothing bad, just harmless nothing bad. No?

554
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: Now was the other Was he just a fan? Did

555
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: he listen to the Shadow?

556
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 3: No?

557
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: But apparently there was an email between him and Jackie

558
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: Martley talking about listening to this show. And then there

559
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: was another one where I was going to come to

560
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: a lunch where I was the MC. But that's all, huh.

561
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 1: All he wanted to do is go to parties. Jeffrey Epstein.

562
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, he wanted to go to parties day and night,

563
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 8: and he didn't care.

564
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: He was using everyone in town.

565
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 8: Howard Rubinstein, who was like a famous publicist, you know,

566
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 8: public relations guy, was his publicist. So he was keeping

567
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 8: his name of The New York Post but getting him

568
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 8: into things that he wanted to go to.

569
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: Hey, we only got a minute left. Our talk shows dying.

570
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: They've just canceled a whole bunch of the top daytime

571
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: talk shows. Sherry Shepard, Kelly Clarkson, is that talk show?

572
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: Is it? We're coming to the end of this. We've

573
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: had it. We've been seeing them for forty years or

574
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: fifty years.

575
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 8: And what's happened is with streaming and all the different things,

576
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 8: and you know, they're expensive to produce, and now we're

577
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 8: down to really just Jennifer Hudson has her show, Tameron

578
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 8: Hall has a show, and Drew Barrymore. We used to have,

579
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 8: you know, Phil Donahue and Oprah and Sally Jesse, Raphael.

580
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: We had tons and tons of these.

581
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 8: Shows, but they're expensive to produce, and the stations are

582
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 8: finding that it's cheaper just to put on the news

583
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 8: all day, just like See It n They just put

584
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 8: on the news and they have, you know, a correspondence

585
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 8: running around in Queen's telling you what's going on, and

586
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 8: it doesn't cost anything. It's not the same cost as

587
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 8: flying in movie stars and that kind of thing.

588
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: So we are seeing sort of the decline of it.

589
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: Definitely long way from Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas, but

590
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,240
