00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,919

00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: you Democrats, you voted for this guy, You Democrats, you

11
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: stuck us with this, Mom Donnie. I guess he's a

12
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: nice guy, but he looks like a total in over

13
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: his head, incompetent, bungling kuck who has no idea what

14
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: to do. He is suddenly confronted with a twelve billion

15
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: dollar budget gap, and he said he can't believe it

16
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: that he finds out there's a twelve billion dollar budget gap.

17
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: He can't believe that this is all of a sudden

18
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: been discovered, this twelve billion dollar budget gap. What is

19
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: he talking about? Though everybody knew about this a year ago. Two.

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: You listen to Eric Adams a year and a half ago.

21
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: Now we get people from all over the globe have

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 2: made their minds up that they're going to come through

23
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: the southern part of the border and come into New

24
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: York City. And everyone is saying, it's New York City's problem.

25
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: Every community in this city is going to be impacted.

26
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: We had a twelve billion dollar deficit that we're going

27
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: to have to cut. Every service in this city is

28
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: going to be impacted.

29
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: Well, there's Eric Adams telling you about this a year ago.

30
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: He told you're gonna this and what was the cause?

31
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: As he pointed out illegals coming in draining city services. Illegals. So, Mom,

32
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: Donnie loves these illegals. He wants to be a sanctuary city.

33
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: So he's caused the budget gap with his policy. Now

34
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: he's complaining about it. So what do you do when

35
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: you have a twelve billion dollar budget gap? Well, you

36
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: cut services you have to. But he's not gonna do that.

37
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: He wants to raise taxes. And if he can't get

38
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: that done, he doesn't have the power to increase your taxes,

39
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: but he can raise property tax. He's talking about raising

40
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: property tax ten percent. Now that's horrible. Property taxes are

41
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: already crazy in New York. So to raise him ten percent.

42
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: And remember, if you're just renting and you don't own,

43
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: it still affects you. You'll have a ten percent increase

44
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: because of the property tax. Well, actually won't be ten

45
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: percent because the property tax is only part of your rent,

46
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: but you'll your rent will go up. Everybody rent will

47
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: increase with a property tax increase. Now, wasn't this the

48
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: guy that ran on a free rent, frozen rent, no renting.

49
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: He's all he's in office like five minutes. He's going

50
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: to increase your rent. It's just horrible. He doesn't know

51
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: what to do. First of all, the budget of New

52
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: York City is like one hundred and twenty billion a year.

53
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: One hundred and twenty billion a year. You know what

54
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: the budget of other cities like Chicago twelve billion a year.

55
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: Cities you know, Boston, Cleveland ten billion a year. Miami,

56
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: which is a big, big city, the budget's like eleven

57
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: billion a year. New York City budget one hundred and

58
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: twenty billion a year. That's more than the whole state

59
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: of Florida. It's the craziest budget now thirty billion of

60
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: that is pension funds we got to pay, but a

61
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: lot of that is just waste and fraud and bloat.

62
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: If you brought in a doze team, they could cut

63
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: fifteen billion out of the budget in two seconds. It

64
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: would be that simple. A lot of a lot of fraud.

65
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: We overpay for everything. We've got a million things we

66
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: don't need to pay for. You could cut the budget easily,

67
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: and you could bring down property tax if you had

68
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: like a Bruce Blakeman in office. That's what a guy

69
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: like that would do. Immediately start to bring in a

70
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: doze team, find all the waste, fraud and lower people's taxes.

71
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: But mom Donnie wants to raise property tax It's absolutely insane.

72
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: Would rather do is ensure that they remain as they

73
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: are so that the city can be on firm financial footing. However,

74
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: in order to get to this point of closing the

75
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: gap on both this fiscal year and the next fiscal year,

76
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: we are forced to raid the Rainy Day Fund, the

77
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 3: Retiree Health Benefits Trust Reserve, and to increase property taxes

78
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: across these other years.

79
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: Insane, absolutely insane.

80
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 3: At the heart of this path is a property tax increase.

81
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,119
Speaker 3: This would effectively be a tax on working in middle

82
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: class New Yorkers who have a median income of one

83
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty two thousand dollars.

84
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: Now, will he actually do this, Kenny? Actually, Hey, I

85
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: guess he can. I don't know. Will he actually do this?

86
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's absolute insane. Now, if he

87
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: can't close the budget gap, believe it or not, the

88
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: governor can take over the city budget. If the city

89
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,559
Speaker 1: financial situation is all screwed up, the governor can step

90
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: in and take over. However, she's not exactly a great

91
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: genius either. I mean, she's not exactly a Warren Buffett

92
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to finance. But I don't know. If

93
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the nerve to do much, she doesn't

94
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: have the nerve to step in. But the idea of

95
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: raising property tax, raising everybody's rent absolutely insane. This guy

96
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: is totally in over his head, doesn't know what the

97
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: hell he's doing. Thank you Democrats for giving us a

98
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: guy like this. Maybe next time, get somebody who's had

99
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: a job before. Can you imagine this? He's thirty three

100
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: years old, never worked, never had a job, never worked anywhere,

101
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: and Democrats think that's a guy that should be mayor.

102
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely ridiculous. We'll get back to him. We'll get back

103
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: to him. So Stephen Colbert is going nuts because there's

104
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: always been this equal time rule. If you have a

105
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: candidate for office, you're supposed to have the other side

106
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: on or at least offer it to him. And we

107
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: would always do that. You remember we had Curtis on

108
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: a lot when he was running for mayor. Well, if

109
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: Cuomo called up or Mom Donnie said I want equal

110
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: to of course, we'd give it to him. It's fair,

111
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: it's the right thing to do. You have to do it.

112
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: That equal time law was strictly enforced for years. Over

113
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, it wasn't really enforced, but it

114
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: was understood you'd give equal time in a race. But

115
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Colbert doesn't want to do that. So this guy Tallerico

116
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: running in Texas. He loves this guy, you know, the

117
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: crazy left wing guy. So he's been promoting this guy.

118
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: Gave him a big interview and CBS told him he

119
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: can't air this unless you offer the other side equal time.

120
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: And Colbert did not want to do that. He didn't

121
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: want to give equal time to the other side. Typical Colbert.

122
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: So CBS said you can't air, we won't run it

123
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: on the network. Now Colbert has a YouTube channel. He

124
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: ran it there. But he went on a little tirade

125
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: last night reading the letter from CBS lawyers, and then

126
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: on the air he crumpled it up and then stuck

127
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: it in a bag of dog poop. But here's Colbert

128
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: last night.

129
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: You know who is not one of my guests tonight.

130
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: That's Texas State Representative James Talerico. He was supposed to

131
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,119
Speaker 4: be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms

132
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: by our network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we

133
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: could not have him on the broadcast. Then then I

134
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: was told in some uncertain terms that not only could

135
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 4: I not have him on, I could not mention me

136
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 4: not having him on. And because my network clearly doesn't

137
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: want us to talk about this, let's talk about this.

138
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's a late night, late night show.

139
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: It's like Johnny Carson The Tonight Show, Jay Leno's. You're

140
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be entertaining people. It's right before they go

141
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: into bed. It's supposed to be fun entertaining. Here he

142
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: is on a tirade about this crazy left wing democrat.

143
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: And who is this guy? Tall Rico? Is he a

144
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: great guest? Is he phenomenal? Well, here's part of the interview.

145
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: What do you think?

146
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 5: I think that Donald Trump is worried that we're about

147
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 5: to flip Texas. Across the state, there is a backlash

148
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 5: growing to the extremism and the corruption in our politics.

149
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: It's a people powered movement to take back our state

150
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 5: and take back our country. And I feel like we're

151
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 5: building something really special in Texas, and clearly Donald Trump

152
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 5: has taken note.

153
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, it doesn't sound like that fascinating a guest.

154
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say, Oh, get that guy on the show.

155
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: I see it. As I said, it's late night television,

156
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: supposed to be entertaining, fun, entertaining, jokes, laughs, put you

157
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: in a good mood before you go to sleep. Colbert Kimmel,

158
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: they've ruined late night television. They've turned it into a partisan,

159
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: crazy rat It's like a it's just a Democrat rally.

160
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: It's like a political rally before you go to sleep.

161
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: Listen when this guy talks, Listen to the audience respond

162
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: like they're at a rally.

163
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 5: I think that Donald Trump is worried that we're about

164
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 5: to flip Texas's.

165
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: Supposed to be getting laughs. It's a political rally. So

166
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: Colbert all upset. He's been fired already. He's leaving in May.

167
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: So you got a week and a half of February.

168
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: Then he got all of March April. Now you got

169
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: two and a half, almost three months. Then you're rid

170
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: of this guy. I'll never have to hear from him again. Hey,

171
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: oh wo Pee Goldberg. You know she's been yelling and

172
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: screaming for the Epstein files. You know on the View,

173
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: they've been screaming and yelling they have to have the

174
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: Epstein files. Where's the Epstein files? Released them immediately demanding

175
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: the Epstein files be released. Well, they've been released, and

176
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: what pe Goldberg is in the Epstein files? So she

177
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: wasn't too thrilled about that. Now a lot of people

178
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: are in there for nothing bad. I'm in the Epstein files.

179
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: I came up like five times in the search, but

180
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: it was all harmless stuff. I was seeing some event

181
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: he wanted to come to. Somebody was emailing I'm telling

182
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: about my show that that's all. It was nothing bad.

183
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: But Whoopy's in the Epstein files? She's apparently going somewhere

184
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: to do something, and she wants this is a lot

185
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: of show business people are like this. They want everything

186
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: given to them by somebody. They're like somebody to pay

187
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: for everything. So she needs to get to this event

188
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: she's going to, and she wants a private plane to

189
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: take her. But she doesn't want to pay for it.

190
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: She wants somebody to donate a private plane to her.

191
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: And apparently somebody asked Epstein, because Epstein was a starstruck guy,

192
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: always chasing celebrities, would he want to donate his plane.

193
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: He didn't. He eventually didn't. But here's a whoopie trying

194
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: to talk away out of why she's in the Epstein files.

195
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 6: I'm telling you, when I tell you, people are trying

196
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 6: to turn me into wasn't his girlfriend.

197
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: I was for him.

198
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 6: I was not only too old, but it was at

199
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 6: a time you know where this is just not you

200
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 6: used to have to have facts.

201
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: Well, the fact is you're in the Epstein files. We

202
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: didn't think you were his girlfriend.

203
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 6: But I'm getting dragged.

204
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: People actually believe.

205
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 6: That I was with him. It's like, honey, come on,

206
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 6: every man that I've ever been with, you've known about

207
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 6: him because either the Inquirer wrote it about it, people

208
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 6: wrote about this stuff. So no, I never had this.

209
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: Not a lot of people really concerned about her love

210
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: life who she's with. In fact, remember when ted Danson

211
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: was going out with her and everybody made everybody just

212
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: think ted Danson was nuts. But so she's in the

213
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: Epstein files. I think it hasn't sunk into Democrat yet

214
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: that there's nothing really in the Epstein files that's going

215
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: to help them in any way. Oh, there's a few

216
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: business guys in there, but ninety nine point nine percent

217
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: of the guys in there. If there was anything to

218
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: do with women, it was older women, not underage. The

219
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: underage was Epstein personally and maybe maybe one or two

220
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: of his friends, maybe Prince Andrew, but that's about it.

221
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: They're having these Epstein hearings. Leslie Wexner, big billionaire, and

222
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: he was really the first billionaire a million years ago

223
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: to get behind Epstein and befriend Epstein and put money in.

224
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: So he'll testify today. I don't suggest you watch it live.

225
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: You might doze off listing the Leslie Wexner testified, it's

226
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: not going to be that exciting. Bruce Springsteen has announced

227
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: a new tour and apparently this is going to be

228
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: this is going to be a political rally tour. Springsteen

229
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: becoming highly partisan. But here's the announcement. He put out,

230
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: we are living through dark, disturbing, dangerous times, but do

231
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: not despair. The cavalry is coming. Springsteen, you might say,

232
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: a brilliant songwriter, musician, but whenever these guys start talking

233
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: about politics, they sound like twelve year olds. And I'm

234
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: afraid you're gonna get a lot of that with Springsteen. Hey,

235
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: the Guthrie kidnapping, the latest you know, the DNA did

236
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: not match anybody in the database. The problem is if

237
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: you collect DNA. There is a database, but it's got

238
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: twenty two million people in it, but it's mostly criminals

239
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: that have been arrested. I would think they'd have to

240
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: be arrested in recent years. If it was twenty years ago,

241
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: they might not have been collecting DNA. Also in the

242
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: database might be people government people, law enforcement, military, that

243
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So the DNA did not match anybody

244
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: in the database, so it's no real value. The latest

245
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: clues they've got, they're looking again at that glove the

246
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: doorbell camera. You can see the guy's big puffy glove,

247
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: but they think under it, underneath the glove, they see

248
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: a little bump that they think think is a pinky ring,

249
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: that he might be wearing a pinky ring, so they're

250
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: looking for that. Also, remember he had a holster on

251
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: the front, very strange the holster, which usually would be

252
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: on the side. The holster is like over his crotch.

253
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: But they're now saying the holster was a very very

254
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: unusual holster. Very few of those kind of holsters. So

255
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: they're looking at who sells those, where they were sold,

256
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: and then they'll go to whoever sells them, check the

257
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: receipts and who bought it, and then look at the

258
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: surveillance video see if they get a picture of who's

259
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: buying it. Now, the only problem is he might have

260
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: bought it online, but still they'll be able to trace

261
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: that if it was sold online, where it was delivered

262
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: to that kind of stuff. Hey, Also, where Nancy Guthrie

263
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: lived was a very quiet, very very safe neighborhood. There

264
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: was never any crime. Nobody was worried about anything crime wise.

265
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: That's why there was no security that But apparently now

266
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: the neighbors are all freaked out out. They're really worried

267
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: about their safety. They're afraid to a lot of them

268
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: live alone, like Nancy Guffey, and they want all kinds

269
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: of security around. They want more police all of that.

270
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: You know, if you talk to law enforcement experts, even

271
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: in a very very safe neighborhood, you could have occasionally

272
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: have break ins, a home invasion, robbery, that kind of stuff.

273
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: But kidnapping for money for ransom. Kidnapping for ransom is

274
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: extremely unusual. It is very very very rare. It just

275
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: doesn't happen very much. It's extremely rare. If you're in Mexico,

276
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: it happens all the time. But in the United States,

277
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: somebody kidnapping you for ransom, it's just almost non existent. Nowadays,

278
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: there is kidnapping where it's the custody thing, you know,

279
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: the husband and wife split up and the husband or

280
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: the wife kidnaps the daughter. That kind of stuff. But

281
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: just a kidnapping of a stranger for ransom extremely rare.

282
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: That's one problem. The police just don't deal with it

283
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: very much. It's very unusual. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.

284
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.

285
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero, seven, ten,
