1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on seven tenor Hey, so interesting

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: news Savannah Guthrie and Nancy Guthrie. You know, we just

3
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: don't talk about it anymore. You don't hear much about

4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: it anymore. The Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. It's five weeks now,

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: five weeks and it's hard to believe she survived five

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: weeks without her medicine, heart medicine, blood pressure Medicine's got

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: a pacemaker. It's just hard to imagine that she would

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: still be okay. Now, the interesting news is Savannah Guthrie

9
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: returned to New York yesterday. She left. Is it Arizona, Tucson? Yeah,

10
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: she left, was back in New York. She went to

11
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: the Today Show. She did not do the show, but

12
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe she was taping an interview there. But

13
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: she visited the Today Show set and was in New

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: York yesterday. The fact that she left and came back

15
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: to New York indicates she's accepted that this search could

16
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: be over. You know, there have been people that have

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: disappeared before kidnapping or whatever it was, and just decades

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: went by and nobody Jimmy Hoffa the most famous example.

19
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: Remember the little kid Aton Pates here in New York.

20
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: It was decades and decades and decades. Famous one in

21
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: the thirties was Judge Crater, this notable judge in New

22
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: York who disappeared one day. It was believed he was

23
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: kidnapped and just vanished off the face of the earth,

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: never to be seen again. So it's happened before. We

25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: may never get an answer to this. You know that

26
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: glove they found out there on the side of the road.

27
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: They finally got the DNA identified it. Somebody works at

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: the restaurant across the street. I still don't get that.

29
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you think you would have found that glove

30
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: and then immediately interviewed everybody in the area, everybody in

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: the restaurant, everybody around that glove and somebody would say, O,

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: that's my glove. But they've identified it as the restaurant worker.

33
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: Now that who knows, maybe he could still be involved.

34
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: And it's an unusual glove. It's hard to believe they

35
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: just happened to find somebody else with that same glove.

36
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: It's also a very very warm area, it's very hot there.

37
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: Who would have such as it's like a big puffy

38
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: ski glove. But they say there's still the task force

39
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: is still there. The federal government still has a couple

40
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: hundred people on the ground looking. There's not much they

41
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: can do with this, but one thing they have been

42
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: doing is checking cell phone data. Your cell phone has

43
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: a GPS in it that's always being read, even if

44
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: you turn it off, by the way, because as soon

45
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: as you turn it back on, it uploads all that data.

46
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 1: But they're checking. They've got a ring around Nancy Guffriy's

47
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: house of a few miles and they're going through all

48
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: the cell phone data what cell phones were in that neighborhood,

49
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: and then they expand out what cell phones were turned

50
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: off and then turned on. They know the time of

51
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: the disappearance, like two in the morning, so they'll check

52
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: an hour before, an hour later, see who turned off

53
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: their phone and then turned it on in the area.

54
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. But it's tough to pour through

55
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: all of that data. Hey, Tim Waaltz, the goofy Minnesota governor,

56
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: he was in in Congress testifying so much fraud in Minnesota,

57
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: something like nineteen billion went missing. They set up these

58
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: food stamp programs, Medicaid programs, daycare programs, and the Somalis

59
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: used it to defraud the government and steal nineteen billion dollars.

60
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: Goofy Waltz on the witness stand, the committee's comber going

61
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: after him.

62
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: But we've uncovered in Minnesota is not a paperwork error

63
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: or a few bad actors slipping thro the cracks. It

64
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: is sustained failure of leadership. Governor Walton, Attorney General Ellison

65
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: were warned repeatedly. Auditors raised red flags, employees sounded alarms

66
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: invoices didn't make sense, and still the money kept flowing.

67
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, now Walts can never ever explain his way out

68
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: of this. They were warned, they were told there's no

69
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: way to explain his way out of it. Everybody was

70
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: told about the fraud. So it's like Casino. Remember de

71
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Niro fires the dumb kid on the slot machines, and

72
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: then when people try to get his job back, he goes, Look,

73
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: he's either he should have known Aboudy, he's either too

74
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: stupid or he was in on it. So it's the

75
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: same thing with Walt's. He was not good on the

76
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: witness stand.

77
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 3: And do you have any idea what percentage of the

78
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: native born Minnesota's all races live in poverty in her

79
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 3: state right now, I don't have specifically, Okay, I'll share

80
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: it with it's eight percent. For the smaller community, it's

81
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: fifty two percent. How about receiving food stamps? Don't or right,

82
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: I'll run it down with you at seven percent and

83
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: then in the compared to fifty four percent in the

84
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: smaller community, and then don't have it, don't have at

85
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 3: least a high school diploma. For all Minnesota, it's five percent.

86
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 3: Smaller community's thirty nine percent. One family member at least

87
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: on Medicaid it's eighteen percent for Minnesota, seventy three percent

88
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: for the Smiley community, and receiving welfare of some form

89
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: it's twenty one percent. And that's eighty one percent for

90
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: the Somali community.

91
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: So, but that was the most of his answer. I

92
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I have no idea. I

93
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: don't know. We have it under Representative Donald.

94
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: We have it under sworn testimony in the Oversight Committee

95
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 4: that your former chief of staff was notified directly by

96
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 4: these various commissioners about the fraud in Minnesota. That could

97
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 4: be correct. So are you saying that's your chief of

98
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 4: staff didn't notify you.

99
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying I don't recall whether he did at that

100
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: time or not. Don't recall. I don't recall. I don't know,

101
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, he looks pretty stupid. He

102
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: looks stupid enough that he could have actually been that

103
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 1: stupid in this case. But I don't know these answers,

104
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: I don't recall. I don't recall. That's usually a guilty person.

105
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: So maybe he was in on it. You know. One

106
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: of the congressmen actually brought this up to him, said

107
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: it right to his face, about how he got chosen

108
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: as the vice presidential candidate when and Obama later admitted this.

109
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: He brought this up to Walt's Obama later admitted, or

110
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: somebody in the inner circle admitted when Obama got the nomination,

111
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 1: he wanted a vice president who was not as smart

112
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: as he was, not as charismatic, not as articulate. So

113
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: that's why they went with Joe Biden. And then of

114
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: course when Joe Biden was the nominee, same thing. I

115
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: gotta find somebody dumber than me, and that's how they

116
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: got Kamala Harris. And the congressman said it right to Walts. Obviously,

117
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris did the same thing with you needed somebody

118
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: dumber than her, and that you know, as you keep

119
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: going down and down, it's hard to find It's hard

120
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: to find somebody dumber than Kamala Harris. But she picked you.

121
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: And I'll give Walt's credit. He smile. He goes, well,

122
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: maybe he handled it well, but Waltz, don't be surprised

123
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: if you see Walt's ending up in some real serious

124
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: criminal legal trouble trying to explain his way out of this. Hey.

125
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: By the way, they're coming to New York to look

126
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: at this stuff too. Medicaid fraud in New York. It's

127
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: going to be a problem for New York. Medicaid fraud

128
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: in New York. They're talking about hundreds of millions so far,

129
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: but they may uncover more. Doctor Oz and others leading

130
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: the investigation here in New York. Hey, Bruce Blakeman, the

131
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: greatest county executive in America, Nassau County. Of course, he's

132
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: running for governor. There's a polling coming out now showing

133
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: him rising. You know, Blakeman, I think is a very

134
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: very very very good chance. If I had to bet,

135
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: I'd say he'll be the governor next year, which would

136
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: be the greatest thing for New York. Nobody would be

137
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: better perfect counter to Mom, Donnie. He would clean up

138
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: our tax situation, property to all that stuff. But the

139
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: first polls you'll always see, well, Blakeman's twenty points behind. Well,

140
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: it's every Republican when they start, it always starts that way.

141
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: But it's not that long. Now, it's only a couple

142
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: of weeks and he's already rising in the polls. He's

143
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: already climbing, so he's on track to do very, very well.

144
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: We're turning on the news about that outdoor drinking in Manhattan.

145
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: We're going to try to restaurants want the outdoor tables back,

146
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: the outdoor dining, and now they want the bars want

147
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: the outdoor drinking, and they're talking about that for a

148
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: FIFA the World Cup coming here. That's all we need,

149
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: soccer and drinking. Perfect. But it sounds exciting to have

150
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: FIFA the World Cup come to you. Wait till it's here,

151
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: you're going to be very upset it's here. You're going

152
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: to see traffic jams and roads closed and oh, you

153
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: know all kinds of stuff. Hey, the Epstein files, you

154
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: know the you know who Reid Hoffman is the big

155
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: tech zillionaire founder, a co founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman.

156
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: He's also a bad, bad guy, major major Democratic donor.

157
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: He's like a Soros type figure who funds all kinds

158
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: of democratic crap lawsuits against Trump, the silly crazy woman

159
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: that accused him of sexual assault. This is Reid Hoffman

160
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: funding these lawsuits, funding all kinds of stuff, real left wing,

161
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: nasty democratic donor. Well, he's all through these Epstein files.

162
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: And he stayed at Jeffrey Epstein's private island. This is

163
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: Reid Hoffman. It's not like Howard Lutnik where he stopped

164
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: by for lunch with fourteen people. This is Reid Hoffman.

165
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: Epstein sent the plane to pick him up, brought brought

166
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: Hoffman to Epstein Island, and he spent the night. Same

167
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: thing with the Upper east Side townhouse. Reid Hoffman and

168
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: spending the night, Now that's a little suspicious. There's a

169
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: lot of these people that knew Epstein that came for lunch,

170
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: came for dinner, maybe came to a party, spent a

171
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: couple hours, but spend the night. That's a tiny, tiny,

172
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: tiny group that spent the night in Epstein's house. But

173
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Reid Hoffman, the big Democratic donor. Now where is he

174
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: on the witness stand? Why don't they get him on

175
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: the witness stand. There's a lot of emails back and

176
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: forth read Hoffman and Epstein. In fact, one of them

177
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: he sent a gift. He sent some ice cream. How

178
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: do you send ice cream to somebody? I guess there's

179
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: a way to do it. But he sent him a

180
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: lot of ice cream. And he said, this is either

181
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: for yourself or the girls. The girls, not the women,

182
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: the girls, he said Hoffman, it says, kept in contact

183
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: with Epstein for many years, even after Epstein had been

184
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: convicted for prostitution with miners. People are now looking at

185
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 1: this relationship. Hopefully they'll get him in front of the committee.

186
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: And again he sent, actually sent two gifts. He sent

187
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: a surfer statue for the island and then a lot

188
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: of ice cream. And as he said, either for you

189
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: or for the girls. Hey, yesterday Cardinal Dolan, Timothy Dolan,

190
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: who's staying in New York. He's got an apartment here

191
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: in New York. He'll be living here. He'll be doing

192
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: some stuff in some parishes. Also, good for the NYPD.

193
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: They made him one of the NYPD Chaplains. They had

194
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: an induction ceremony yesterday at one police plaza, and good

195
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: for Mom Donnie, he came. He's been pretty bad with

196
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church, not showing up for the installation of

197
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: the new archbishop, but he came to Dolan ceremony and

198
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: they even hugged. At one point, Dolan whispering in his ear.

199
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Nobody knows what he whispered, but that's a Dolan thing.

200
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: He's very he's the greatest guy. When he meets anybody,

201
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: he'll hug you, he'll whisper in your ear. Very very

202
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: cordial guy. And he appeared to be getting along fine

203
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: with Mom Donnie yesterday. Hey, remember the supposed snowball fight.

204
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: It was that awful attack on cops with the snowballs

205
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: and the rocks. Well they've arrested a second person. This

206
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: guy's eighteen, so the other one was twenty seven. I

207
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: remember Mom Donnie said it looked like just kids. Well

208
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: maybe eighteen you could call the kid, but not the

209
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: twenty seven year old. He's been arrested. Now. The problem

210
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: is this crazy lunatic district attorney just lets them go.

211
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: He did that with the twenty seven year old, just

212
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: let him go, you know, slap on the wrist. That's

213
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: why another reason you want Bruce Blakeman as governor. The

214
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: governor actually has the power to remove these district attorneys,

215
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: which would be a great thing. DeSantis did it in Florida,

216
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: had one of those crazy, woke das letting everybody out.

217
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: It removed him and put in a real DA. So

218
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: Blakeman as governor could do stuff like that. Hey, Gail Well,

219
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: I thought we were rid of her, but no, She's

220
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: re signed with CBS after months of speculation she was

221
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: gonna leave. They didn't want her. She was getting paid

222
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: a lot of money for having terrible ratings and being

223
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: a total disaster on the air. But she's resigned. Sources

224
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: say at half price, cut her salary fifty percent just

225
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: to keep her there. Now, Whole Foods, they're trying this out.

226
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: The problem is paying like Wegman's Whole Foods. All these

227
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: great they are wonderful. You can't believe the quality of

228
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: this stuff, the selection, it's just wonderful. You fill up

229
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: your cart, it's great, you can't believe how excellent the products.

230
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: And then you get to the point we want to pay.

231
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: Now you look at This line's got forty seven people

232
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: in it. This line's got thirty two people in it.

233
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: And you run around playing this game trying to figure

234
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: out which line will move the fastest. Then you study

235
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: each cash here, this one looks slow. This one's an

236
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: old lady. But oh wait a minute, she's moving pretty fast.

237
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: Maybe this line will move. So then to fix this,

238
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: they come up with this self checkout where you check

239
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: out yourself, which is some people can't figure it out,

240
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: and then it's good. You just scan the product, scans

241
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: everything price right, and except then all of a sudden,

242
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: you got bananas or apples or something. Now you've got

243
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: to figure out how to put that in and weigh it,

244
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: and it gets complicated. So Whole Foods is trying out

245
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: a new thing where it's a smart cart, your shopping cart.

246
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: Every time you put something in the cart, it'll scan

247
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: it and do all that for you. So everything you

248
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: put in the cart, it'll scan it. So by the

249
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: time you get to the register, you're all scanned. It's

250
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: all set. All you do is just it's just pay.

251
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: But you would think they'd figure it out a way

252
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: that you could pay in the cart, like right in

253
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: the cart you could pay for it. So this doesn't

254
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: sound like a great system either. Hey, well, take some

255
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: calls in a moment. Eight hundred three two one zero

256
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one

257
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: zero seven ten
