1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark Simone Show on Sevenrday. It's only Tuesday,

3
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: but you know, today's the first day of spring training.

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: That's right. Spring is just a few weeks away, just

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: a few weeks. Spring training opens today. Hey, we got

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: a lot to get to. We'll get to the latest

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: on the Guth three kidnapping. We'll get to Bad Bunny.

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 2: There's all sorts of Epstein developments. We'll get to that.

9
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: We'll get to Cardinal Dolan, We'll get to Bruce Blakeman.

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: He's picked a running mate. He'll get the nomination. Actually,

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning he'll officially become the candidate. Super Bowl is over,

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: and now I realized it's gonna be the first weekend

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: with no football. There's nothing to watch this weekend football wise.

14
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: So the Bad Bunny thing, I think was great because

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: it's first of all, he wasn't that bad.

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: He was.

17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: He was pretty good. I don't know one thing he said.

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: You couldn't understand him. It was in Spanish, but it

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 2: looks good. The moves, well, scenery was great, it was staging.

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: It was okay, probably not the best choice, but but

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: it's just it was worth it. Just to watch the

22
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: entire left wing, all the Democrats, all the media watched them.

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: Have to convince themselves to pretend that they're big Bad

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 2: Bunny fans, especially the older liberals and the older left

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: wing media people. They have to pretend they they're really

26
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: big fans of that bad Bunny boy. They love that

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: bad Bunny. If you grab their phone, let me see

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: your playlist. I don't see any Bad Bunny in there.

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: But they got to pretend they love bad Bunny because

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: this is the latest anti Trump thing they can do.

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: It was out protesting ice, now it's defending bad Bunny. Meantime,

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: Bad Bunny says, cashing in on this. Now, you gotta remember,

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: there were a lot of reasons you got to peel

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: away the layers of this. This Roger Goodell, who you

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: look at that guy and he's just look a very

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: unpleasant guy. He looks like the worst high school principle

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: you ever saw, Just a stern, unpleasant looking guy. He's

38
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: got no personality, absolutely humorless. And you'll wonder, how the

39
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: hell does this guy get eighty million a year or

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: whatever he gets to be the NFL commissioner. How does

41
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: he last so long? Because the owners love him. The

42
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: fans can't stand him. The owners love Roger Goodell. He

43
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: makes them a fortune. He's the best negotiator. He's a ruthless,

44
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 2: brutal negotiator with the networks. You put him in a

45
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: courtroom and there's an NFL lawsuit. He's great in a courtroom,

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: very skilled at all that stuff. And also he's a mastermind,

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: always scheming, scheming, scheming, scheming to make the NFL more money.

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: So they've been plotting the last few years. Couple of things.

49
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: One one of the reasons for bad Bunny Big big

50
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: big with a Hispanic community, and the Hispanic community tends

51
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: to like soccer and not really football. You got to

52
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: remember people that have come from somewhere else, they're big

53
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: soccer fans. You know, football is the number one most

54
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: popular sport in America. Around the world, it doesn't even

55
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: make the top ten. It's not that popular around the world.

56
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: So they make a fortune here in the US. But

57
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: Roger Goodell knows, and the NFL realizes to make more money.

58
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: To grow this thing, they got to go international. That's

59
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: why they start playing the games overseas every season. And

60
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: now they're going to try to appeal to other countries,

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: other languages. They want to make this league international, they

62
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: want to go worldwide. So that's one reason for a

63
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: bad bunny.

64
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: But just.

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: Forcing all these Democrats have to pretend they love bad Bunny,

66
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: it was worth it. Now. Glaine Maxwell testified yesterday she

67
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: took the fifth on everything because she's appealing her case.

68
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: It's going to come up in court pretty soon, so

69
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: she used that as a justification for taking the fifth.

70
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: She well, here she is.

71
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: I would like to answer your question, but on the

72
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 4: Advice and Council, I respectfully declined to answer this question

73
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: and any related questions. My habeas petition is pending in

74
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 4: the Sudden District of New York. I therefore invoke my

75
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: right silence under the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution.

76
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: Now I knew Ghlaine Maxwell. She sounds quite proper, but

77
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: in real life was a raunchy kind of a woman,

78
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: rough and tough and raunchy. She has told the committee,

79
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: she's implied that she could, well, she said it publicly,

80
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: that she could clear Donald Trump and Bill Clinton of

81
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: all wrongdoing. But she wants clemency. She does not want

82
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: to be a charge. She wants the charges dropped and now,

83
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: Donald Trump does not need clearing. There was never a

84
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: hint of him ever being involved in anything bad with Epstein. Billy.

85
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: In fact, he off Epstein twenty something years ago. He

86
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: just stopped talking to me. First, got whiff of Epstein

87
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: hitting on a young woman at mar Alago, threw him

88
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: out of the club, immediately distanced him, warned to everybody,

89
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: including me, back then, stay away from Epstein. And the

90
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: guy that was the police chief, Palm Beach, came out

91
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: yesterday and revealed he was the police chief in two

92
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: thousand and eight when they went after Epstein, and he

93
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: said one of the first calls he got was from

94
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: Donald Trump back in two thousand and eight, who said,

95
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: I'm glad you're going after Epstein. And he told him

96
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: about the problem he had with Epstein and mar A Lago,

97
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: and he said, everybody knows about this guy. You got

98
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: to go after him. And he encouraged him to take

99
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: a really good look at Gallayne Maxwell, saying she's evil,

100
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: she's the accomplice.

101
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 5: Look at her.

102
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: But he really encouraged the police to go after him.

103
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: So she wants to clemency. Now Bill Clinton has a

104
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: problem because he continued his relationship with Epstein right to

105
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: the very end. And Epstein was very the only relationship

106
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: Trump had with Epstein. He was a wealthy guy. He

107
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 2: showed up in Palm Beach, and when you were a

108
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 2: wealthy guy in Palm Beach, you joined mar A Lago.

109
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: And he started coming there, spending a ton of money

110
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: and going to the parties. And Trump would stand there

111
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: in the parties and talk to him, and that was

112
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: really about the whole relationship. A couple of times Trump

113
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: hitched a ride on Epstein's plane down to Palm Beach.

114
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: People used to do that back then. If you wanted

115
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: to go to Palm Beach for the weekend, you'd hit

116
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: your ride, sometimes on Trump's plane, Epstein's plane. People would

117
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: do that very often. But whenever the two times Trump

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 2: went on Epstein's plane, it was with his wife and daughter.

119
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: But Clinton is different. Clinton had a very, very very

120
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: close relationship with Epstein. Look at the White House visitors

121
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: logs when Clinton was there. Epstein's a regular visitor, sleeping

122
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: over at the White House. He's hundreds and hundreds of

123
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 2: times in the White House. It was Epstein who helped

124
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: form the Clinton Foundation, Clinton Global Initiative, one of the

125
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: reasons Epstein was able to ingratiate himself with so many

126
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: people was his check book. He had what they call

127
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: check's appeal. He would write massive checks, even the Palm

128
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: Beach Police Department. I give him credit for going after

129
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 2: him because Epstein was a big donor the Palm Beach.

130
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: It was just his weekend house, but he gave the

131
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: police department forty thousand to buy some piece of equipment

132
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: they needed, then later give him ninety thousand for by

133
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: another piece of equipment they needed, donated heavily to their

134
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: scholarship foundation. Just a big, big donor. He wrote checks

135
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: to everybody, celebrities, colleges, that's where they were all over them.

136
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: So here's comer. He's the chairman of the committee.

137
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 6: As expected, Laige Maxwell took the fifth and refused to

138
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 6: answer any questions.

139
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: This is obviously is very disappointing.

140
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 6: We had many questions to ask about the crime she

141
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 6: and Epstein committed.

142
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's asked.

143
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: For clemency from the president.

144
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 6: So I personally, for the reasons you just stated, don't

145
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 6: think she should be granted any type of immunity or clemency.

146
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Donald Trump doesn't need his name cleared with Epstein,

147
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: so I don't think he's gonna give her any clemency. Comber.

148
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: We love Comber. He's a great guy, but he tends

149
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: to overpromise and underdeliver. As I always tell you, Republicans

150
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: are not good at hearings. They Democrats do hearings. They

151
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: wipe people out. Democrats when they have a hearing, they

152
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: tear into the person. Twenty of them just rip the

153
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: person apart like pitbulls. It's vicious. When the Republicans try

154
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: to do the same thing in the hearing, yeah, they

155
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: never quite get it done. It's a little harmless. He

156
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 2: let's get to Nancy Guthrie. The deadline has been missed. Well,

157
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: we don't know. The deadline was last night five o'clock

158
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: our time, but well actually it was five o'clock her time,

159
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 2: so it would be seven o'clock our time. The deadline passed.

160
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: We don't know if ransom was paid or not paid.

161
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: The Feds are now in charge of the investigation, and

162
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: the Feds are very good at keeping a lid on everything.

163
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: They keep everything quiet, so we don't know if the

164
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: ransom was paid. They asked for six million in bitcoin.

165
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: We do know there are new videos. It's Savannah Guthrie

166
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: put out.

167
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 7: No matter where you are, even if you're far from Tucson,

168
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 7: if you see anything, you hear anything, if there's anything

169
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 7: at all that seems strange to you that you report

170
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 7: to law enforcement.

171
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess she's talking about neighbors. Anybody in the neighborhood.

172
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: You know, people that have been there, the reporters, the

173
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: people covering the situation. They've been to Nancy Guthrie's house.

174
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: They've been outside there. They tell me it's incredibly dark.

175
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: You know, it's out in the desert. There's no street lights.

176
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: It's unbelievably dark. You can't see a thing around when

177
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: you look around in the streets there.

178
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 7: We believe our mom is still out there.

179
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: We need your help.

180
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 7: Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock trying to

181
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 7: bring her home, trying to find her. She was taken

182
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 7: and we don't know where, and we need your help.

183
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

184
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: Now, they asked for six million in bitcoin. Now here's

185
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: the thing. A lot of people don't know this, but bitcoin,

186
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: it is traceable. It can be traced. In fact, if

187
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: you got bitcoin stuck, it may take a little drop

188
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: pretty soon because as this case, unfolds. If they're able

189
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: to track down the criminals and people realize you can

190
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 2: be tracked through bitcoin, that's going to cause them a

191
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: little lack of sales because a lot of criminals, drug dealers,

192
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: they love to use bitcoin because they think it's totally untraceable.

193
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: But the criminal, if it's the real criminal in the note,

194
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: did give an exact bitcoin address. Now, what they'll often

195
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: do in that case is just somebody will send a

196
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: little money to that address, just a little amount to

197
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: that bitcoin address, and then there's ways of tracking it

198
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: as it goes through the blockchain, and you send a

199
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: small amount to that crypto wallet and you can sort

200
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: of see where it lands. You're closer and closer, and

201
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: the local sheriff and the local police probably can't do this,

202
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: but the Feds are really good at tracing this down.

203
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: Cryptocurrency is not untraceable. There is data that can be

204
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: scraped from just a simple transaction that can yield a

205
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: lot of information, And there have been cases where they

206
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: have tracked somebody through crypto. It can be done. There's

207
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: in the FEDS, there's a real experts on blockchain forensic

208
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 2: They can trace all the blocks that generate each and

209
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 2: every transaction. They can actually you see what you send

210
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: a code to someone one wallet to another. But when

211
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: you send a code, you know things are in that code.

212
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: There's our ways, there are ways to track it, so

213
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: this could be interesting.

214
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: Now.

215
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie, of course, immediately flew out there to Tucson

216
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,119
Speaker 2: and stayed with the relatives in their house. But apparently

217
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: reporters are all over the house. They're all over the

218
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: Nancy Guthrie house, They're all over the daughter's house and

219
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: the Guthrie's. Savannah and her family were all staying in

220
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: this one house, but it was surrounded by reporters, so

221
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: they have temporarily rented. Savannah Guthrie rented a one point

222
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: two million dollar mansion. This house is in a guarded gatehouse,

223
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: a gated community. Nobody can get in there, and it's

224
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: located in the community where you can't even see it

225
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: from the street. So it gives them some privacy, gives

226
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: them some distance from them and the news crews all

227
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 2: over the streets. We'll see what develops later today. What else, Hey,

228
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, who would be the best governor for New York.

229
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman would be the perfect governor for New York.

230
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: He's a governor. Now, that's what a county executive is

231
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 2: in Nassau County, best run, safest county in America. So

232
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: he has to pick a running mate, and he just did.

233
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: He picked a running mate yesterday. They're having the convention

234
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 2: right now. But he's picked Madison County Sheriff Hood twenty

235
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: two years in the Syracuse Police Department, Blakeman courses from

236
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: around here. You want the other half of the ticket

237
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: to be an upstate guy. Hood a great resume. Father

238
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: of Ie serves as vice president of the New York

239
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: State Sheriff's Association, chairman of the National Sheriff's Association. So

240
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: now tomorrow's the nomination, the actual nomination. They have a

241
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: convention for like three days.

242
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: You know.

243
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: It's a Republican convention every year. This is like the

244
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: state Republican Convention being held in Garden City. They're all

245
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: at the Garden City Hotel right now. And Garden City

246
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: is a beautiful place, beautiful one of the nicest towns

247
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: in Long Island. All kinds of stuff opening there lately.

248
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: There's a new I of our Own supermarket. There's a

249
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: Tony's Tacos, which is all over Long Island, just open there.

250
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: But tomorrow they'll nominate Blakeman at about this time tomorrow,

251
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: and then they got some other races. They're going to

252
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: nominate Joseph Fernandez, candidate for state Controller. And then oh,

253
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: the GOP candidate. There's going to be a Republican candidate

254
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: to take on Letitia James, the sleazy, awful Attorney General.

255
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: So this will be former federal prosecutor Saritha. Oh good, well,

256
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a little trouble pronouncing this last name.

257
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 2: Comma to Reddy. I think it is all right, I said,

258
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: But she's she's trying to get the seat. There's a

259
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: little battle there between two GOP. But you want to

260
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: get riddle Letitia James this year, that would be a great,

261
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,479
Speaker 2: great thing to do. Hey, Cardinal Dolan has left Saint Patrick's.

262
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: But you know he's got an apartment now in New

263
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: York City. It's in a parish in murray Hill, but

264
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: it's a very nice apartment. He'll be living there. He's

265
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: not leaving New York. He'll be living here and he's

266
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: gonna take various jobs. One was announced yesterday he will

267
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: be the NYPD chaplain. There are a couple of them,

268
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: but he'll be I guess the head chaplain. The NYPD

269
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: chaplain is a great job taking care of our are

270
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: men and women in law enforcement. That's one thing he'll

271
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: be doing. He'll be uh in this parish where they

272
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: gave him a beautiful apartment. He'll be holding services there

273
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: and apparently other parishes. So you'll be able to on

274
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: a Sunday go see Cardinal Dolan. That's great news. Ronald Hicks,

275
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: who took over, had his installation on Friday, first time ever.

276
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: The mayor didn't show up. That's mom, Donnie. He didn't

277
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: show up. But you know he's I wouldn't think he's

278
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: too religious a guy, I don't know. He's a socialist,

279
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: as he loves to say.

280
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: I was elected as a democratic socialist, and I will

281
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: govern as a democratic socialist. I will not abandon my

282
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: principles for fear of being deemed radical.

283
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: Well, that's great, you're socialist. Fortunately, got you picked the

284
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: wrong city. You get elected. This is the capitalism capital

285
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: of the world. It's like, if you hate cars, you

286
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: want to ban cars, you can't be the mayor of Detroit.

287
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense. So this is the Wall

288
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: Street is our main industry, capitalism, finance? And is he

289
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: a socialist? Well, they asked Bill Maher.

290
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 6: Democrats seem to be having this debate whether or not

291
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,119
Speaker 6: mayor Mom Donnie is a socialist or a democratic socialist.

292
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 6: Let me settle it. He's a straight up communist. How

293
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 6: do I know this? Well, I'm reading between the lines

294
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 6: when one of his major advisors says, elect more communists,

295
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 6: which is fine, it's fine. It's a belief system. He's

296
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 6: allowed to believe it and people are allowed to vote

297
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 6: for it. But if liberals deny it, like he's just

298
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 6: going through a goth phase, they're going to lose more elections.

299
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 6: This is not a communist country.

300
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 2: No, And how do you get a Mom Donnie, Well,

301
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: you send a couple of generations to woke left wing,

302
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: a crazy college. All of our universities, colleges are now

303
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: in doctrination centers and they come out thinking like Mom Donnie.

304
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: And after about twenty years of that stuff, you get

305
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: enough to vote in a mayor like that. Hey, we'll

306
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one zero

307
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one

308
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,080

313
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,800

314
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 8: Court whether or not the states have to clean up

315

Speaker 8: their voter rolls. Yeah, and if the Supreme Court says yes,

316
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 8: you do have to clean up your voter rolls, what

317
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,639

319
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: No, well they can't to do it over again anyway.

320
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 2: You don't have time for the midterms, but you got

321
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: to do it before twenty eight and clean up all this.

322
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 8: Okay, but you're gonna lose. You're gonna lose all these votes.

Speaker 3: You know.

324
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 8: If you clean up your voteroals, you're gonna lose Democrats,

325
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 8: You're gonna lose Republicans. You will have to do them.

326
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 2: You only clean up the bad votes, the suspicious ones.

327
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: You'll lose more Democrats than Republicans. Hey, Jacob, we've had

328
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: snow here for a few days and it's driving us nuts.

329
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: You're in Denver, you have snow, like all went right?

330
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: How much snow do you have there?

331
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 8: We have absolutely none. We have had no in two months.

332
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 8: Our average temperature is sixty degrees what what's happening. What's

333
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 8: happening is is there's a high planted right over Denver,

334
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 8: well right over Colorado. So the jet stream is pushing

335
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 8: all the cold that would normally go over Denver to

336
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 8: New York and Detroit and all that.

337
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot. Yeah, this is all wrong, it's not

338
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: not right.

339
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 8: But but you know, I remember, I remember in twenty ten,

340
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 8: was it December twenty ten? There was a there was

341
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 8: a northeaster and the garbage piled up in Brooklyn ten

342
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 8: feet high. Also, so this is really nothing new to

343
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 8: you guys.

344
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,159

345
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: good call, Jacob, Thanks for calling. Isn't that that's just

346
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: wrong that we got all this snow? Denver has no snow.

347
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: You know, this past weekend it was so unbelievably cold

348
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 2: in New York. It was actually about ten degrees colder

349
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: in New York City than Antarctica. That's an actual fact.

350
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to uh Rocco in Rockland County, Rocco, How

351
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: you doing.

352
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 9: Doing great, Paisano Marco. The bottom line is he's a mierda.

353
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 9: That's what madammi is. He the damn communist? And what's

354
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 9: he going to do about the hell that New York City,

355
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 9: the richest city in the world, doesn't have a retirement

356
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 9: home for American veterans because he doesn't care. He didn't

357
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 9: show up at the installation Licago. He denounced Christopher Clubs.

358
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 9: Christopher Cumbas was not his flavor. He broke the love

359
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 9: of Christ to the New world. He is an anti Semitic,

360
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 9: anti catholosis. He stinks, and New York's getting what they deserved.

361
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 9: But putting that rat in office.

362
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for coding Helly. We survived eight years

363
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 2: at Doblasio. We'll survive four years of this guy. Let's

364
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 2: go to Joe and Amityville. Joe, how you doing?

365
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 9: Yeah?

366
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 3: You doing? Mark? You got to love this country. We

367
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: give a fly off to the janniar who couldn't do

368
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 3: nothing of but Gravisquatch.

369
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 5: Listen to his lyrics.

370
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 2: Are you talking about bad Bunny?

371
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, bad Bunny? Give him a fly?

372
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 2: Nice's okay, that's not bad Bunny's fault. It's just this

373
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 2: is the latest left wing thing. They're pretending that they're

374
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 2: Bad Bunny fans. There, even these sixty two year old

375
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: left wing they're defending Bad Bunny. They're convincing themselves they

376
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 2: love Bad Bunny. They've never a million years had him

377
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 2: in their playlist. They never listened to them. Let's go

378
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.

379
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark, Mark, I'm okay, Good morning Mara. What

380
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 5: about that speech Mondamie gave yesterday where he kept on

381
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 5: quoting the Koran and Allah? I mean, what was he

382
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 5: speaking to a microphone into a minaret to, you know,

383
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 5: called the faithful the prayer?

384
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 9: Mark?

385
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 5: What if the other average news of corruption that the

386
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 5: government needs to look at. We all heard about Minnesota

387
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 5: the corruption of the daycare centers, and now in California,

388
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 5: the hospice centers and the nursing homes. The government has

389
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 5: to look at the Medicaid program where you could hire

390
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 5: anybody you want to be your homemade attendant. Now, how

391
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 5: does the government know if that person is badging and

392
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 5: if they're really working all their hours that they claim

393
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 5: they are. In the past, the homemade attendants. And I

394
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 5: know because my aunt when she was old, she had

395
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 5: when we have to go for the city, the city

396
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 5: would screen these people to see if they weren't criminals, this, that,

397
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 5: and the other, that they were on the up and up.

398
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 5: I know a woman who's a homemade attendant for a

399
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 5: mother who lives in the east village. You mean to say,

400
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 5: the mother's going to rat on the door to if

401
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 5: the door.

402
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: That's a good point, Vincent. You're right, that's the problem.

403
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: That's how you get all this government fraud, wasting, bloating.

404
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: Now you can make anybody your homemade, just declare them

405
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: that and start packing.

406
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 5: What if is the mother gonna rat the door around

407
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 5: if she says she built medicaid for forty hours of

408
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 5: service and she was only at a mother's house for five.

409
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you're absolutely right, good call, Vincent. That's again

410
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: this is how this stuff starts, the daycare fraud to

411
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: medicaid fraud. All of a sudden, they just just send

412
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: money flying out to everybody. There's no checks, no system,

413
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: no balances. No Hey, when we come back the dean himself,

414
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: Ed Rollins, we'll talk to him next. What's gonna happen

415
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: in the midterms. Can a Republican win the governor's race

416
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: in New York State? We'll get to that and a

417
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 2: lot more questions coming up next on seven to ten WR.

418
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: It's more more Mark Simone On sevent ten WR.

419
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk to the Dean himself. Rollins, the best

420
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: political analyst out there. Nobody's run more campaigns, worked in

421
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: more white houses, and great to add them with us,

422
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 2: Ed Rollins.

423
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 9: How you doing, good morning, Mark, Are you here?

424
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 2: I'm good? So hey. Bruce Blakeman will be nominated tomorrow

425
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: as the Republican candidate for governor. Big endorsement today from

426
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 2: the New York Post. But how easy? How tough is

427
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: it for a Republican to win the governor's race in

428
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: New York?

429
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 3: Now, well, it's tough. But Bruce is a great candidate,

430
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 3: and in my senses, he comes from the right area

431
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: of the state. He's got a great record, He's as

432
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 3: stronger candidate as we could have in New York. I

433
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 3: think we're a very weak mayor. I mean we're not mayor,

434
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 3: big governor. Yeah, So you know, I don't think at

435
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: this point in time you can see to the past history.

436
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 3: What's going to happen here. So he can he raise

437
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: the money? Can he campaign effectively? Yes? So I think

438
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: the ped race is still still to watch very closely.

439
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've been in this game a while. How did

440
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: we get to this world where you could have the

441
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: worst record in the world, you absolutely stink like gas

442
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 2: Newsom or whoever, and you can run again. How does

443
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: this happen nowadays?

444
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: Well, there's so much clutter in the media today that

445
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 3: it's hard to people make so many impressions that are

446
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: out there. It's like the president. The president's got so

447
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 3: much going on, but it's hard to focus on two

448
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: or three things. And in a campaign like this, you

449
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 3: need a campaign on a few things. You've got to say,

450
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 3: here's what she's done that basically have affected your life badly,

451
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: and keep hammering on that issue. Don't talk about thirty

452
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 3: five issues. And the same way the democrats. Democrats keep

453
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 3: talking about we've got to have all these policy papers

454
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 3: and what have you. At at the end of the day,

455
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: policy papers are not going to be any for them.

456
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 3: What's going to do something that they're going to make

457
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 3: their case against against the president of the president's party. Yeah,

458
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,239
Speaker 3: and as far as the president too, much clutter, too

459
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 3: much media.

460
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, the economy, if you look at the actual numbers,

461
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 2: the math, the economy is doing well, it's headed in

462
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: the right direction. Everything's good. But what does the president

463
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 2: do it needs to do to get better messaging about that?

464
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 3: Well, he needs he needs to basically focus himself on

465
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 3: the message. You know, he sees the one dragging the message.

466
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 3: And all the foreign policy stuff that he's doing certainly

467
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 3: may be important, but it's not important to the voters

468
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 3: out there that are basically worrying about healthcare and worrying

469
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 3: about food prices and housing prices, what have you. So

470
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 3: I would argue it now that we're in the in

471
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 3: the actual election year, the president needs to spend his

472
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 3: time and energy on these issues at matative voters. He's

473
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: got strong polsters, get the posters, give them three or

474
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: four things he should be talking about, and talk about

475
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 3: those things. You know. I think the key thing here is,

476
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 3: you know, there's there's a lot of crisises in the world,

477
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 3: and the president wants to solve those crisises, and it's

478
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 3: done a pretty effective job and all that, but most

479
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: people out there aren't worried about Iran as much as

480
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 3: they're worried about, you know, what's happening in Westchester County

481
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 3: or Suffolk County or across the country.

482
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting what you said about clutter. But as

483
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: President Trump doing a great job. But he's the king

484
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: of clutter. If you watch a press conference of speech

485
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: and there's four thousand things he's working on at once,

486
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: so and you can't cure him with that, can you.

487
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: That's always the way.

488
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 3: You can't cure him that. One of the concerns I

489
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 3: have is having another the White House political director and

490
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 3: have one Congressional committee. The intend now is to put

491
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 3: him out and have him campaign and try and drive

492
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 3: out the vote. Only votes when he's on the pallet.

493
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: I would just argue, the more you move around the country,

494
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 3: the less likely he can stay on message. And you know,

495
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 3: he needs to stay in the White House. He needs

496
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 3: to go out maybe ten or twenty times. He told

497
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: him in the campaign. But if they have him out

498
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 3: there three or four days a week, you know he

499
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 3: likes the campaign. But at the end of the day,

500
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: you've got priority messages going out. We needs to stay

501
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 3: in that White House. It hit the big message places

502
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 3: and be very consistent and quit in selfing people. You know,

503
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 3: he needs to quit make cracks about his opponents. You know,

504
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 3: Joe Biden is gone. But we'll die on the beach. Uh.

505
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: You know, to the end of the day. We you

506
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: can't blame everything on him at this point in time

507
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: because always gonna listen, this is Trump's administration. His biggest problem.

508
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: Has got a very narrow majority of the House. Uh,

509
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 3: and it does that the Senate doesn't have anything. So yeah,

510
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 3: you know, to to seat you know, this week he's

511
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 3: got a two seat margin. He's got to get every

512
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 3: member they're voting for him on these issues. And we

513
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 3: now have a big ice debate on on funding and

514
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: that's very important.

515
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: Uh.

516
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: You know, you drive this Congress through, uh through a

517
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 3: budget fight for another two or three weeks. Here again,

518
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 3: people are distracted. People want want order.

519
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: But you know there's this whole anti ice feeling of

520
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: the Democrats. But you know, November is a long way away.

521
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 2: Democrats always overplay their hand. They always go too far.

522
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 2: Don't you think they'll do that this time? By by

523
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: election time, I don't know, we'll see.

524
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 3: You know, we don't have we don't have a full year.

525
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 3: You know, the reality is three or four months from now.

526
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 3: These campaigns got to be running a hundred hundred degrees

527
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 3: forward and the Congress is not gonna want to go

528
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 3: back here. You've got forty four members Congress that are

529
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: Democrats have targeted forty four. Those forty four guys and

530
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: gals are gonna have to be home worrying about what

531
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 3: their constituous are saying. And if you're dragged here to

532
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 3: fight these stupid battles, we're not gonna win. Uh. You know,

533
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, people will get frustrated. Yeah,

534
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying is my argument is we

535
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: don't we don't have a year. Time flies very quickly here,

536
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 3: you know, big expensive races, and you got to you

537
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 3: gotta be focusing on everything that rights to district right now.

538
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at some of these Congress people now, from

539
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: King Jeffries to elon Omar to AOC to Jasmine Kracher.

540
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: These are some real low IQ people. Did you ever

541
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: see that before where we had those people go well, no,

542
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 2: but they.

543
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 3: Are pretty safe districts though, so they can they can

544
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 3: do and say what they want. You know, the key

545
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: thing here is we don't we don't have There'll be

546
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 3: a lot of seats. They'll talk about being competitive. It

547
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 3: won't be competitive, it's it's really twenty five seats total

548
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 3: that they're going to be competitive on both sides. They'll

549
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 3: argue forty four Democrats that could be defeated, thirty five

550
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 3: Republicans can to be defeated. In the reality where we

551
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: switch those numbers, reality is, you know, this comes down

552
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 3: to ten fifteen seats, and you've got to make all

553
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: your efforts there.

554
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: Yea, Hey, voter I d Democrats opposing that blocking that

555
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 2: That looks pretty bad on their part, doesn't it.

556
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: It does. But you know, the there's so much confusion

557
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 3: on voting. I mean, the key thing is get your

558
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 3: voter out, whatever it takes to get them out, and

559
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 3: don't argue about the method of voting, argue about who's

560
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 3: going to vote. And the president can do that. But

561
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 3: again I would just argue read in the cabinet, every

562
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: the vice president need to be out there saying the

563
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 3: same thing. The economy is the economy. It's the economy. Uh,

564
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 3: And that's that's what the public wants to hear.

565
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, in New York City, Mom, Donnie Uh, probably

566
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 2: the worst person we could have for mayor. But he

567
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: seems very busy with photo ops and press conferences and

568
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: the public stuff and not really doing any work. That's

569
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: a good thing. But you think we'll get through these

570
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 2: four years of mom Donnie.

571
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 3: Well, they get through it one way or the other.

572
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: It's what kind of shape. If his policy is getting implemented,

573
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 3: we'll have a very bad state of affairs in New

574
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: York in four years. But so far, I think he's

575
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 3: he's more of a personality than he is effective mayor.

576
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 3: And the people that he's put in are, to Blasio,

577
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: people who are not very effective and I think to

578
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: a certain extent and are very dangerous. And you've got

579
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: to make this nation's financial capital, communications capital, and you've

580
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: got to make the city run and run effectively. I

581
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 3: don't I don't know that he's gonna be do that.

582
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the more reason we need Bruce blake When

583
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: as governor. Just the counter, no question about Yeah, well

00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:53,479
Speaker 2: you're the best seven wr Well, Hey, it's gonna be

596
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 2: about I don't know, thirty five thirty six degrees today.

597
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: That'll start melting the snow. Tomorrow it's going to be forty.

598
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: That'll really melt the snow. And then it's going to

599
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: stay in the upper thirties the rest of the week

600
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: and then back to forty on Saturday. So by the end,

601
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: by this weekend, the snow will be gone. It will melt. Now.

602
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: The only thing is there's a chance of snow or

603
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: rain Sunday, but it looks like it's going to be

604
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: near forty on Sunday, so that would make it rain.

605
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: As all this snow melts, you kind of wants some

606
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: rain to wash it all away. So that's good news.

607
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 2: You got a three day weekend coming up this weekend,

608
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,840

00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: We're just a few weeks away from spring, it's not

612
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: far away. Let's see Dan Bongino. You know, he left.
