1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone Show

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: on seven w R.

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: Hey, not bad today. It'll be a near forty. It's

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: going to be in the fifties this week. That's good news.

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: We got a lot to get to today. There's a

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: lot of things going on. We'll get to Maduro and

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: all the latest. We'll get to Mamdani and all the

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: bad news. We'll we'll get to Marty Supreme, remind me

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 2: to talk about that. We'll get the Frank Sinatra coming up.

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: We'll get to MS now they're looking more and more

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: pathetic now that NBC threw them the hell out. We'll

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: get to Wegmans. We'll get to Jimmy Kimmel. We got

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: lots to get to today. Hey, this just happened about

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: an hour ago. It looks like a congressman has died.

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: I forgot the name. It's not a name you'd even know.

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: He's a California congressman House of Representatives. But the problem

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: is he was one of the few Republicans in California.

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 2: So he's a Republican congressman. He's he's apparently it's been

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: confirmed he's dead. Now that means the Democratic governor will

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: appoint a Democrat to take that seat until they can

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: have an election. Now, the problem is Republicans in the

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: House of Representatives I think are right on the border.

23
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: I can't because other people have left. You know, there

24
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: are a couple of empty seats right now. I think Republicans

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: are down to two hundred and eighteen in the House.

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: Would put them right on the border, the absolute borderlines.

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: If they lose anything, they lose control of the House.

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: That's why this congressman dying this morning very crucial to

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: the Republicans. Would mean Mike Johnson wouldn't be Speaker anymore.

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: It would mean if Democrats take control, you'd have an

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: impeachment every month. You remember, in Trump's first term, they

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: would impeach him every year in the spring. Every spring impeachment.

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: This would be every month. Obviously they would start with

34
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: Maduro and Venezuela. That would be their first impeachment thing,

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: and then they would impeach him over Epstein. He would

36
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: impeach him over January six Oh, he can't do it.

37
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: They already did January sixth. That didn't go anywhere. But

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: they'll find something every month. Now. Maduro in court pleaded

39
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: not guilty. You know, they set the next court date.

40
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: He was in court yesterday. When's the next day comes

41
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 2: to court? March seventh, that's two months away. That means

42
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 2: he sits in jail for two months in that Brooklyn

43
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: Correctional Center. They don't seem to trust the Manhattan Correctional

44
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: Center anymore. That's where they put Jeffrey Epstein and he

45
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: got dead in there. I was going to say he

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: got murdered in there. Well, we'll see, and they ruled

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 2: it officially a suicide.

48
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: But.

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: Who knows. But they don't seem to trust it anymore.

50
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: So they now keep the prisoners in the Brooklyn Detention Center,

51
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: the US Attorney Southern District. That's where they kept p Diddy,

52
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: and that's where they kept Kallay Maxwell, and this is

53
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: where they're keeping Maduro. He's got lawyers that have been

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: appointed for him and he's going to plead, not get

55
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: but there's evidence, I mean physical evidence. There's a text

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: back and forth. They'll prove he was involved hands on

57
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: with the narco drug trafficking. The terror. Narco terrorism is

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: what it was. He'll be charged with that. He will

59
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: be convicted now. And if he's claiming that he is

60
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 2: still the leader of Venezuela. That's kind of well. Here's

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: the legal expert, Jonathan Turley.

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: His statement in court was remarkable, that he's still the

63
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 3: president of his country. You would think that the prison

64
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: jump suit would disabuse him of that concept. But I

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: certainly over fifty countries around the world would not accept that,

66
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: and I don't think the court will either.

67
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: You See, if you want to sound smart, like a

68
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: like a Jonathan Turley, you use words like that. You

69
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: don't say he claimed he was still the president, which

70
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: makes him sound nuts. You say the jumpsuit would disabuse

71
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: him of that. Throw that word in there and then

72
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: disabuse him. Here's more of a Turley. Now, remember to

73
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: hear all these democrats and all the fake news talking

74
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: heads tell you this was an illegal operation. This is

75
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: unheard of to go into a country seasonally. It's done

76
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: all the time. It's been done many times. We arrested Noriega.

77
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: You can talk lots of cases where this has happened,

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: and plenty of presidents have done things like this.

79
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: This is Norjega two point zero. I mean, he is

80
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: going to be arguing that he is still the head

81
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: of state and titled to immunity. I just had very

82
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: few people believe that's true. And he's in a worse

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: position than Noriega. So I expect that they're going to

84
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: stick the landing on this. They're gonna this is going

85
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: to go to trial, and he stands an excellent chance

86
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: of being convicted.

87
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll just repeat the whole Noriega thing. They hear

88
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: the Democrats. If you watch Rachel Maddow or any of

89
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: those shows, you know, Jake Tapper, you know, if you're

90
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: just watching, they look like very serious, very knowledgeable people,

91
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 2: but they're like crazy partisans. And though if you watch

92
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: these shows, they'll tell you things like, well, I've don't

93
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: Claire violation of international law, international law. What the hell

94
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: is in nobody's ever heard of this international law. There

95
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: is no international law that we have to follow. He's

96
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: more of Turly.

97
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 3: They have not only these these recordings that they say

98
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: show him taking an active role in the criminal enterprise,

99
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: but this wasn't just simply criminal enterprise.

100
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: This was a family enterprise.

101
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 3: And so you've got his son, his wife with facing

102
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 3: very strong evidence, but you also have high ranking former

103
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: associates who have pled guilty, and they very well could

104
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: be cooperating witnesses, including the former head of military intelligence

105
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: in his country.

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's gotten no shot at beating this charge. Now,

107
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: normally you get in the right judge. You know, you're

108
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 2: left wing kook of a judge in Manhattan. But looks

109
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: like they got a good judge. I think he's ninety

110
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: five years old, this judge, but still on the bench.

111
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: You have to go through these documents and one of

112
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: the defense counsel maybe two will be designated as clear council,

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 3: and they will sit in a metal room called a skiff,

114
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 3: and they will look through all of these documents and

115
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: they will file challenges. That's why this isn't going to

116
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: go anywhere for over a year as they work through

117
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: this stuff.

118
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: Now, that's why the next court date is March seventh,

119
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: and why they're waiting two months. There's a ton of evidence,

120
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: a ton of documents. They have to give his attorneys

121
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 2: plenty of time to go through all this stuff. And

122
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: as Turley says, it's probably going to be a year

123
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: long trial. This guy will spend the next year in

124
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Detention Center. Not good for him. Now, again,

125
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 2: if you're reading the New York Times, or you watch

126
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: that MSNBCMS NOW whatever the hell they call it c

127
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 2: and then you don't know what the hell's going on.

128
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: They give you a little it's like the jigsaw puzzle.

129
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: To give you two pieces. That's it, that's all you get.

130
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: Leave out all the other three hundred pieces, so you

131
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: never get the whole picture. They never point out to

132
00:06:52,880 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: you that every Democrat, every major Democrat, Biden, Schumer, Elizabeth

133
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: the War and anybody can name, have been screaming and

134
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: screaming for years to get rid of Maduro. That he's

135
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: a war criminal, he's a narco terrorist, he must be eliminated.

136
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: You have to get rid of him. They've all been

137
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: calling for getting rid of Maduro. When the Biden administration

138
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: was in power or the Obama administration all talked about

139
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: getting this guy, getting rid of him. Of course it's Democrats.

140
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: They just talk. They don't actually do anything. Hey, here's

141
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: Biden has been doing this for longer than anyway. This

142
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: is forty years ago. Listen to Biden. Way back then,

143
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: for the first time, we were fighting and losing the

144
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: war on our own soil.

145
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: Let's go after the drug lords where they live with.

146
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: An international strike force.

147
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 4: There must be no safe haven for these narco terrorists,

148
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: and they must know it.

149
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: Now here's an interesting question. Why would you become a

150
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: drug lord? Why would you get involved in drugs? You

151
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: ever watched that show Breaking Bad? Better call Saul gus Fring,

152
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: who's when the Salamancas. When you look at that, do

153
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: you say, ye, I'd like to be like I'd like

154
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: to live like them. They're living out in the middle

155
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: of the desert. Looks like the dirtiest business. Why would

156
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: you want to get involved in that? Well, money, if

157
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: you're in the middle of Mexico. How else are you

158
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: going to make hundreds of millions of dollars except in

159
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: the drug business. It's money that leads into him. But

160
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: now here's the thing about Maduro. He's running Venezuela. Venezuela

161
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: has twenty percent of the world's oil it has. It's

162
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: sitting right now on three hundred billion barrels of oil.

163
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 2: There's seventeen trillion dollars in oil in Venezuela. Why didn't

164
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: he just use that? He let the whole oil industry crumble,

165
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: dry up, the infrastructure to pump the oil all decay.

166
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: All he had to do was bring that back, fix

167
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: the infrastructure and start pumping oil. He could have been

168
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: the biggest oil baron in the world. You see those

169
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: Saudis with the palaces in the garage with five million

170
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: rolls royces that he could be bigger than these guys.

171
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 2: Why did he become a narco terrorist when he could

172
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: have been the biggest oil bearing around. Now we'll go

173
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: in there and fix the infrastructure, get the oil pumping

174
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: again again. Seventeen trillion trillion in oil is sitting there.

175
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: Venezuela could be one of the wealthiest, most successful countries

176
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: in the world. Now we got to get the American

177
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: oil companies to go in there. They're not going to

178
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: be too crazy about doing this because it looks like

179
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: it could be some kind of dangerous war zone. But

180
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: once they get it stabilized. Now you're also going to

181
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: watch all these democrats ye all about Trump campaigned about

182
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: the endless wars, no boots on the ground, none of it. Well,

183
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: there's no hit that he's ever going to do anything

184
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: like that. This was just a quick three hour operation

185
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: in out seize the leader. And one reason this was

186
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: done is Grenada. You remember when Ronald Reagan took office

187
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: in his first year. It's the end of his first year.

188
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: He did the same exact sort of thing. We invaded

189
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: this little tiny island of Grenada. A bunch of American

190
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: medical students had been captured and were being held hostage.

191
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: Reagan did the same thing. It was a quick just

192
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: a few hours on the ground. American military went in

193
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 2: there and just attacked the building where they were being held,

194
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 2: extracted these medical students, got them out of there real fast.

195
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: It was an incredible military operation. The reason that Reagan

196
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: did that is he took over from a president who

197
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: was just horrible with the military. Jimmy Carter had turned

198
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: our military into a worldwide embarrassment. They were out of parts,

199
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: the weapons weren't working, everything was old, outdated number. Carter

200
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: even tried to rescue our hostages in Iran and the

201
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: helicopters couldn't even land right. They crashed. Everybody got killed.

202
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: It was a disaster. And the same thing with Biden.

203
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 2: He let the military decay, the equipment decay. He tried

204
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: to the Afghanistan withdrawal, and it was like a Jimmy

205
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: Carter operation, total disaster. People got killed, just humiliating, embarrassing.

206
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: So we had to get our reputation back and go

207
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: back to being impressive militarily to the world. So this

208
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: was Grenada, That's what this was for. It was a

209
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: demonstration for China, Russia, Iran, because China Russia didn't claim

210
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: to have an incredible military, but they don't. We've seen

211
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: Russia in Ukraine and all Russia's got us a little

212
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: ragtag army with drunken kids that can't fight. They don't

213
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: have the proper equipment, they don't even have night vision.

214
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: Where pretty sure that China is the same thing. It

215
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 2: looks like a big, big military, but they've never been

216
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: battle tested and they'll probably be as bad as Russia.

217
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: So it's a demonstration to the other countries that we

218
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: have incredible military capability. We're back. This operation in the

219
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: middle of the night to go into the palace there

220
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: and seize Maduro was incredibly detailed. Do you know. They

221
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: built an exact replica of his residence, which means they

222
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: knew exactly what his residents looked like in every detail.

223
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: They had people on the inside. So they built a replica,

224
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: a complete replica of his residence, and they trained in

225
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: that for months. They also went in there, I mean

226
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: the skill of these guys. You know, they used to

227
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: say Pete Hegsath is the most unqualified, the least qualified

228
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: a defense secretary. The guy has run flawlessly, run the

229
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: most incredible military operations for the last year, from the

230
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: taking out of Iran's nuclear reactors to the going after

231
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: the oil tankers. I mean this one. To run this,

232
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: you got to give this guy credit as one of

233
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: the most successful defense secretaries ever. But to get to

234
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: that residence, they had to take out all the military bases,

235
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: knock out all the electricity, They shut down all the

236
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: lights in the city. The stuff that went on was unbelievable,

237
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: the whole operation, from the moment they went in. Three

238
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: hours later they got Maduro on the deck of an

239
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: American warship out at sea and they're taking them away.

240
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,479
Speaker 2: So it was an incredible operation. It's a big demonstration

241
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: too Russia, China and Iran. And don't think the message

242
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: was received loud and clear. So uh, Mom, Donnie, oh oh, Mom, Donnie.

243
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: Now he uh. There was a terrible rumor yesterday that

244
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: he had demoted the police Commissioner Jessica Tish everybody likes her,

245
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: that she would now report to the first deputy mayor,

246
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: not to him. He corrected that, he said, it's not true.

247
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: My police commissioner will continue to report directly to me.

248
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: My police commissioner, just like my school's chancellor will report

249
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: directly to me. The executive order is in terms of

250
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: the question of coordination, this is reporting continues to be directly.

251
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 2: To the mayor. Yeah, I don't know how that's good.

252
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: You're a reporting to this guy. This guy's got they've

253
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: never had a job in his life. He's twelve years old.

254
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: You're reporting that at least that first deputy mayor might

255
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: be another left wing cook. But he'd been a deputy

256
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: mayor before under Deblasio. But so, mom, Donnie, you know,

257
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: the other thing was just weird. He talks about affordability.

258
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: He wants to have free buses, he wants to live,

259
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: freeze the rent. Everything's bringing the prices down, affordability. Yet

260
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: when it comes to this congestion pricing, the guy loves it. Hochel, mom, Donnie,

261
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: yesterday celebrating the one year anniversary of congestion pricing. It's

262
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,359
Speaker 2: a tax on people. Everybody has to pay it. Everybody

263
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: you're paying. Even though you're saying, well, I don't have

264
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: a car, You're still paying the congestion pricing because every

265
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: form of transportation from a cab to an uber has

266
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: a price increase as a result. And everything you buy

267
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: in every store in Midtown Manhattan there's a price increase

268
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: because the trucks pay enormous congestion pricing fees and that's

269
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: added into the price. But here he was celebrating.

270
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Congestion price is a program that has been successful, no

271
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: matter how you measure it. We all understood the imperatives

272
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: of dreaming of a different kind of streetscape in this city.

273
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: The hell's he talking about? What is a streetscape? Were

274
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: you dreaming of a different street scape? You know? I

275
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: was kind of dreaming of the old one where it's

276
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 2: just cars. Now you can't cross the street without looking

277
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: six ways. You gotta wait, Is there a scooter? An

278
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: electric bike? Is there one of those pettycat You're gonna

279
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: get hit by anything and everything in every direction. Hokel

280
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: loves this congestion pricing, And yes, the cameras are staying on.

281
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 4: But now, my friends, the results are extraordinary.

282
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: They convinced themselves of this nonsense. Now she did say

283
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: there is a price increase coming, But it's twenty twenty eight.

284
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: Here's the good news. Bruce Blakeman will be the governor

285
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: and he'll take office in janu twenty twenty seven, and

286
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure the first thing he'll work on is getting

287
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: rid of congestion pricing. It's absolutely ridiculous. You want to

288
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: ease congestion. Put the street back the way it was

289
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: with four lanes. Now it's like one lane, one lanes,

290
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: a parking lane, one's lanes, a bike lane, one lanes,

291
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: a petty cab lane, one lanes a scooter. Put the

292
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: street back the way it was. There's congestion because you

293
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: took two thirds of the street away on every street.

294
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: They we'll get to Tim Waltz. Why did he drop out?

295
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: His daughter is saying the family was getting attacked left

296
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: and right, and his political career is over. He announced

297
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: yesterday he's not running.

298
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 4: I'm passing on this race with zero sadness and zero regret.

299
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 4: I did not run for this job to have the job.

300
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: I ran for the job to do the job. The

301
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 4: hell is he talking about?

302
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: Now? You got to give him credit for a guy

303
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: with an IQ of ninety, maybe I name eighty. Maybe

304
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: eighty goofy, silly guy, not very intelligent. Look where he got.

305
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: You got to give him credit. Now, they've got to

306
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 2: be governor of a state. You got to be the

307
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 2: vice presidential nominee. You know, a guy with no brains

308
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: and no talent. You got to give him credit for that.

309
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: Now what happens, who's going to run for governor of Minnesota? Well,

310
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: our old buddy, Mike Lindell, my pillow is as announced

311
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: he's running for governor. He's one of the biggest, biggest

312
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 2: businessmen in Minnesota. So now here's the bad news. There

313
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: looks like they're going to try to throw somebody strong

314
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 2: against him, a big Democrat like Amy Klobucher, the Senator

315
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: is now talking about entering the race, so they'll put

316
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: up a big candidate. They actually think Lindell has a

317
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: great shot. Remember, Minnesota goes for those kind of non

318
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: political types like a Jesse Ventura. So this will get interesting. Hey,

319
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next eight hundred three to two

320
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three

321
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: to two one zero seven ten,
