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 3: 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 4: His statement in court was remarkable, that he's still the

63
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: president of his country. You would think that the prison

64
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 4: jump suit would disabuse him of that concept. But I

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: certainly over fifty countries around the world would not accept that,

66
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 4: 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 4: This is Norjega two point zero. I mean, he is

80
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 4: going to be arguing that he is still the head

81
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: of state and titled to immunity. I just had very

82
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: few people believe that's true. And he's in a worse

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: position than Noriega. So I expect that they're going to

84
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 4: stick the landing on this. They're gonna this is going

85
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 4: to go to trial, and he stands an excellent chance

86
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 4: 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 4: They have not only these these recordings that they say

98
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 4: show him taking an active role in the criminal enterprise,

99
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 4: but this wasn't just simply criminal enterprise.

100
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 5: This was a family enterprise.

101
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 4: And so you've got his son, his wife with facing

102
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 4: very strong evidence, but you also have high ranking former

103
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: associates who have pled guilty, and they very well could

104
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: be cooperating witnesses, including the former head of military intelligence

105
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: 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 4: You have to go through these documents and one of

112
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: the defense counsel maybe two will be designated as clear council,

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 4: and they will sit in a metal room called a skiff,

114
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 4: and they will look through all of these documents and

115
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 4: they will file challenges. That's why this isn't going to

116
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: go anywhere for over a year as they work through

117
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 4: 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 4: 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 6: There must be no safe haven for these narco terrorists,

148
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 6: 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 5: My police commissioner will continue to report directly to me.

248
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 5: My police commissioner, just like my school's chancellor will report

249
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 5: directly to me. The executive order is in terms of

250
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 5: 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 5: Congestion price is a program that has been successful, no

271
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 5: matter how you measure it. We all understood the imperatives

272
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 5: 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 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: you dreaming of a different street scape?

275
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: You know?

276
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: I was kind of dreaming of the old one where

277
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: it's just cars. Now you can't cross the street without

278
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: looking six ways. You gotta wait, Is there a scooter?

279
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: An electric bike? Is there one of those pettycat You're

280
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: gonna get hit by anything and everything in every direction.

281
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: Hokel loves this congestion pricing, And yes, the cameras are

282
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: staying on.

283
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 6: But now, my friends, the results are extraordinary.

284
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: They convinced themselves of this nonsense. Now she did say

285
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: there is a price increase coming, But it's twenty twenty eight.

286
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: Here's the good news. Bruce Blakeman will be the governor

287
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: and he'll take office in janu twenty twenty seven, and

288
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure the first thing he'll work on is getting

289
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: rid of congestion pricing. It's absolutely ridiculous. You want to

290
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: ease congestion. Put the street back the way it was

291
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: with four lanes. Now it's like one lane, one lanes,

292
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: a parking lane, one's lanes, a bike lane, one lanes,

293
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: a petty cab lane, one lanes a scooter. Put the

294
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: street back the way it was. There's congestion because you

295
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: took two thirds of the street away on every street.

296
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: They we'll get to Tim Waltz. Why did he drop out?

297
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: His daughter is saying the family was getting attacked left

298
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: and right, and his political career is over. He announced

299
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: yesterday he's not running.

300
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 6: I'm passing on this race with zero sadness and zero regret.

301
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 6: I did not run for this job to have the job.

302
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 6: I ran for the job to do the job. The

303
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 6: hell is he talking about?

304
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: Now? You got to give him credit for a guy

305
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: with an IQ of ninety, maybe I name eighty. Maybe

306
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: eighty goofy, silly guy, not very intelligent. Look where he got.

307
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: You got to give him credit. Now, they've got to

308
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 2: be governor of a state. You got to be the

309
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 2: vice presidential nominee. You know, a guy with no brains

310
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: and no talent. You got to give him credit for that.

311
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: Now what happens, who's going to run for governor of Minnesota? Well,

312
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: our old buddy, Mike Lindell, my pillow is as announced

313
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: he's running for governor. He's one of the biggest, biggest

314
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 2: businessmen in Minnesota. So now here's the bad news. There

315
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: looks like they're going to try to throw somebody strong

316
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 2: against him, a big Democrat like Amy Klobucher, the Senator

317
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: is now talking about entering the race, so they'll put

318
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: up a big candidate. They actually think Lindell has a

319
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: great shot. Remember, Minnesota goes for those kind of non

320
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: political types like a Jesse Ventura. So this will get interesting. Hey,

321
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next eight hundred three to two

322

333
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 7: oh he's flawless. He's doing a great job. But the

334
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 7: funniest thing yesterday was with that idiot Mundamie when he

335
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 7: said I have to call the president and chastise him.

336
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 7: Could you imagine the White House? They probably put him

337
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 7: on hold for like an hour. Is the president? This

338
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 7: guy's on the line. He wanted to take a call.

339
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I know how Trump panlty. I've watched

340
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: him for about thirty years. When an idiot's on the phone,

341
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: he's all in his eyes at everybody in the room,

342
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: like pointing at the phone and making faces. But when

343
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: he's on the phone actually talking to he said, he

344
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: just knows how to button them up. He said, yeah,

345
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: I really want your opinion on this, yea, let me

346
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: know what you think. Well, that's coming from you. That's

347
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: very it's good advice. It's very important. And then he's

348
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: rolling his eyes for everybody in the room, holding the

349
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 2: phone away from his head and making faces. And now

350
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 2: he I'm sure he said it the end. Thanks for calling. Yeah,

351
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 2: anytime you got any thought, Yeah, call me, call me.

352
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: Keep in tell you got my number, right, Yeah, well yeah,

353
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: keep calling me. He's very good at that. Remember, a

354
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: big part of his life is being a salesman. I mean,

355
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: besides building an empire and building one hundred story skyscrapers

356
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: all over the world. I mean, you got to be

357
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 2: a hell of a salesman. He's great with that stuff.

358
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 2: Let's go to Harriet in Brooklyn. Harriet, how you doing.

359
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 7: Oh, it's a pleasure speaking with you. Mark. You're the best. Mark.

360
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 7: We've got to get Blakeman. And however, if there is a.

361
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 6: Watchman on the wall, if there is continued voting without

362
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 6: voter ID, there's no way that he's going to beat

363
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 6: these communists.

364
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: Well, actually you can. There is cheating with that no

365
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: voter idea and all that stuff, but usually you got

366
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: to get like an extra seven percent to overcome the cheating.

367
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: Blakeman is going to be great at this. First of all,

368
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: he's the only one qualified to be governor. He actually

369
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 2: is a governor right now. That's what he does in

370
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: Nasau County. It's basically the governor of Nassau County. He's

371
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: done a phenomenal job, best county executive in America. Nobody

372
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: more qualified than Blakeman to be governor. Now you might say, then, well,

373
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: what is he good as a candidate. He has been

374
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: brilliant on social media the last week. The last week

375
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: he has just check his social media every day. He's

376
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: got videos up of him. He went to Buffalo to

377
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 2: go to the Buffalo Bill's game. That looks good. You know,

378
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: you got to win these upstate voters. He went to

379
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: a diner, then he went to this place that's a

380
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: great Italian restaurant in Buffalo. You would think this guy's

381
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 2: lived in Buffalo all his life. He's great at this stuff.

382
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: Pretty amazing stuff. Let's go to Joel in Florida. Joel,

383
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 2: how you doing, Good morning, Mark, welcome back.

384
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 7: It's a highpothetical question. Where do you see New York

385
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 7: City one year from today?

386
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: Right here, right next to Long Island, right below west Chester,

387
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: Where would I see it?

388
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 7: Being I mean under Mandami, where do you see New

389
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 7: York City one year from today?

390
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: Well, go back to Doblasio and look at one year

391
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: into his first term. Uh, and it's the same thing.

392
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 2: This is going to be Deblasio third term. It's just

393
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: going to be more Deblasio. He's in fact, it's the

394
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: same exact people, same deputy mayors, same commissioners. Although he

395
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 2: does find it's the same thing with the Blasio You know,

396
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: you look at who we appointed. This is when he

397
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: pointed to I'll find it. He just appointed somebody to

398
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 2: some position, like a real left wing wacka. But that's

399
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: exactly what Deblasio kept doing, the same exact thing. Now,

400
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 2: let me just clear up one thing about the fire commissioner.

401
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: All hell broke clues. He appointed a fire commissioner no

402
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: fire department experience. That's perfectly normal. Half our fire commissioner's

403
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: never had any fire department experience. Every mayor at some

404
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: point appoints at fire commissioner who had never ever been

405
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: involved in the fire department. The last fire commissioner at

406
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 2: Robert Tucker was great. The guy was phenomenal. No experience

407
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 2: with the fire department, and he was great at it.

408
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: Who had caught your point. Charles Hines, very respected guy

409
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: in New York politics, never had any experience of the

410
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 2: fire department. He was fire commissioner before Robert Johnson at Tucker.

411
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 2: Robert Tucker. Last fire commissioner with no experience who was

412
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: before ing Laura Kavanaugh, who was pretty good, no experience

413
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: at all. Laura had never been anywhere near a fire

414
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 2: department and it was actually Obama that got her the job,

415
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: called up Eric Adams and got her the job. She

416
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 2: was pretty good without any experience. You could name half

417
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 2: the fire commissioners. Howard Safer was a great fire commissioner.

418
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: Experience none as in the fire department. So it's perfectly normal.

419
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 2: Let's go to sal in Long Island. Sal. How you

420
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 2: doing Hi?

421
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 8: Good morning, Mark.

422
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 2: Yes, Mark.

423
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 8: I was having an idea and was a little bit radical.

424
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 8: But with the violent crime having in the cities where

425
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 8: guns and knives are prevalent and people are getting seriously

426
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 8: hurt or killed, there should be a punishment or a

427
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 8: deterrent for the person with the gun and knife.

428
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we had all that stuff, mandatory jail if

429
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: you have it. We had all these tough gun laws.

430
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: You know, you go right to jail with a gun

431
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 2: if you use a gun, and you had an extra

432
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: ten years, we had all that stuff. Thank Andrew Cuomo

433
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: for getting rid of all that stuff. He's the guy

434
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 2: that got rid of bail. It's Andrew Cuomo. You know,

435
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 2: no bail, no jail, close the prisons, drop all this

436
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 2: and him and the Democrats and the legislature and Democrats

437
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: all over in different cities, different states. They got rid

438
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 2: of all these things. In fact, even if you've been

439
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: picked up thirty seven times, if you come into court,

440
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 2: you remember you used to be three strikes in, you're out.

441
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: You could come in the court happens every day forty

442
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 2: two prior arrests. That judge lets you out. No bail,

443
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 2: no jail, Thanks to Andrew Cuomo. Hey, when we come back,

Speaker 3: Oh my god. You know, it's a when you look

461
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 3: at the whole landscape of the Democratic Party, it really

462
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 3: is a shambles. And the Republican Party isn't capitalizing on

463
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 3: the disarray within the opposition because of ego, and you

464
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 3: know a lot of stuff that doesn't really matter. But

465
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 3: I've never seen the Democratic Party, and you know me,

466
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: I write about politics and history and all that in

467
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: worse shape than it's in now, you know what I mean.

468
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 3: Who's the leader of the party, Chuck Schumer. I mean,

469
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: just look at how he handled the Maduro thing. It's incomprehensible.

470
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 3: So Schumer in twenty twenty was mocking Trump when Trump

471
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 3: was running against Biden for not removing Maduro mocking him, well, removed,

472
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: you were going to do it, okay, And now he says, oh,

473
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 3: why you're removed, Maduro, I'm going Chuck, this is on videotape.

474
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 3: Do you have no idea? Do you have no idea

475
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 3: that what you say is then recorded for history? Apparently

476
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 3: Chuck does it. And now when he makes any statement

477
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 3: at all, he never lifts his head up. He's just

478
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: reading off of paper that somebody wrote for him, like Biden,

479
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 3: and I really think that, you know, I know he's

480
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 3: not going to run for reelection. That's what Cassio Korse says.

481
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 3: His seat and she'll win in crazy New York.

482
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: You know, I always ask you to explain this crazy

483
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: left wing kook behavior, but I think it's just they're

484
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: just childish. It's like a child, you know. They demand

485
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: something and if you tell them they have to have

486
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: it now, they don't want it. If you tell them

487
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 2: they can't have it now, they want it. Is it

488
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 2: really that simple? They're just childish.

489
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 3: I think it's all emotion, particularly for you're younger liberal

490
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: people and conservatives too. I'm working on a special now

491
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 3: for News Nation. I think it's going to happen about

492
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: the craziness within the far right. You know, they're attacking

493
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: each other and tearing each other pieces and doing all that.

494
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: And when you step back and you look at what

495
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 3: they're doing, it's all motion. And I think as who

496
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: drives this extremism. And there's some profit in it too,

497
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 3: there's money in it. The crazier you get, the more

498
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: people pay attention, and the more money you can potentially

499
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 3: make if you want to do it the other way

500
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 3: and build up credibility. That takes time and patience. And

501
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 3: you know, these people are on social media. They want

502
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: to make money, so they toil the grenades and then

503
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 3: you know, our Halberg's loose.

504
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the difference there's obviously a lot of

505
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: crazy far right kind of you know, Alex Jones type

506
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: of nonsense, but the real you know, Scott Bess and

507
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio, they don't pay attention to that whole group,

508
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: whereas with the left they kind of all are together,

509
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 2: the crazies and the mainstreams.

510
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 3: You know what. The reason is that the left depends

511
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 3: on the money from the radicals like Soros and others,

512
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: and the right doesn't. That's the reason. So there isn't

513
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: any kooky right wing group that funds individual politicians nearly

514
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: to the extent that the far left does. The Progressive

515
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: Communist movement a lot of money and they kick a

516
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 3: lot of money into campaigns. That's why Bragg is there,

517
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 3: That's why Letitia James is there. Because they're far left

518
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 3: finance their campaigns. But you don't have that on the

519
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 3: conservative side.

520
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: Very interesting. That's a good explanation. Maduro will be convicted, obviously,

521
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: And so what happened that no Kings? I thought it

522
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: was no Kings Now they love this.

523
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: Guy, Yeah, but nobody loves him. That was just communist stuff.

524
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: Yesterday and a New York Posts really did a good

525
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: job and tracking that down who these nuts were supporting

526
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: Maduro and they found out that they were from a

527
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: far left group that sympathetic kids. I mean, you know,

528
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: but it's not a mass movement of a yeah we

529
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 3: like Maduro, I mean, even a liberal people they have

530
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: to know this guy's a human rights violator and he's

531
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 3: a drug dealer. Just today, just about a few moments ago,

532
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 3: I got a call from a European and they frozen

533
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 3: all of Maduro's counts in Switzerland. Well, what is he

534
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: doing with the counts in Switzerland. What is that his

535
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 3: government pension? Sally, he's a guy in Switzerland. Come on,

536
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 3: the guy's a dope dealer. It's like, oh no, don't

537
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 3: remove the dope dealer. No, no, you know I did that.

538
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: And then they tivot to and CNN is the best

539
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: of this. I love them. I then become my favorite

540
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: go to now CNN. They're better than any sitcom I

541
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: have ever seen on television, with the possible exception of

542
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: the Mary Tyler Marshall. Okay, so you can just I

543
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: just turned over there. I know when they hear lunacy,

544
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 3: but funny lunacy. So they come on here last night,

545
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: you know, all for our brows. Oh oh Trump, Yeah,

546
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 3: it's illegal. Oh well, Park and then they put it

547
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: into it. Well what happens now? So I said, why

548
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: don't you bring on this, Cleo, get a little ball there,

549
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 3: and who knows what's gonna happen? All right, That's not

550
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 3: why they made the move. Trump administration made the move

551
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 3: because they felt that the Venezuelan government was harming the

552
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 3: United States in a variety of ways. That's what I

553
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 3: mean to move. And you know, that's not a hard

554
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 3: country to control. And the CIA, in conjunction with the

555
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: Venezuelan military, will be able to comment down and then

556
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: there'll be an election about a year, as there should be,

557
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: and maybe the Venezuela's will get back to democracy. They're

558
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: not protesting in the streets in Caracas, and the army

559
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: sold out Maduro. They made a deal with the CIA,

560
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 3: and that's how the Delta Force got in there with

561
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: no resistance.

562
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 2: Wow, hey, you mentioned CNN. Even funnier I think is

563
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: MS now this is MSNBC. After that?

564
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 3: I can't.

565
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: Oh, it's I can't, But I'm watching yesterday they're promoting

566
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: all day long tonight at nine exclusive interview with the

567
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: Gaven Newsom. I see this guy on TV every five minutes. Now,

568
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: right now on the screen, they promote tonight exclusive interview

569
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: with Nancy Pelosi. She's on everything on every channel every day.

570
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: How is this exclusive?

571
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: I guess? I look, I can't watch that, all right,

572
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 3: I have to be honest, I just can't. But Cianna

573
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 3: is a different cat, as Dennis Miller would say, because

574
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 3: CNN goes worldwide and in everyone tell you are you

575
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 3: travel the world? That's the NF Okay, they bought that

576
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 3: thing early to Turner. So they're propaganda that infiltrates everything.

577
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 3: I'm doing a YouTube. You mentioned my YouTube channel, which

578
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 3: is really very successfuln't know what YouTube, Yeah, I don't

579
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 3: even know what YouTube is, but I'm successful on it.

580
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: I'm doing a commentary about Jimmy Kimmel doing a slash

581
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 3: Trump America. He's for British television. I got a call

582
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: from a friend of mine who lives in Western England

583
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 3: who knows nothing about America because there there's no reporting

584
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: over there. They can't get really what's happening, so relies

585
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 3: on me to tell them why Trump is doing X,

586
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: Y and Z and kim Will goes over there just

587
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: slashes the country. This is on Christmas Day, you may

588
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 3: remember that, Yeah, And I'm going why why do you

589
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 3: want to hurt your country? Jim We know you don't

590
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 3: like Trump, and you're perfect right not to like him,

591
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: but why do you want to hurt your country? Why?

592
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:43,239
Speaker 3: And that's my commentary. This is actually seditious and they

593
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: do a freedom of speech. I mean, this guy goes

594
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 3: over and he does his propaganda stuff to a foreign

595
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 3: country that doesn't know any better, and it hurts his

596
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 3: own country. What are you doing.

597
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: But I keep going back to childish. It's pouting. He's

598
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: just pouting.

599
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 3: It's oh yeah, Well the Jim has got that personal

600
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 3: thing going. But Trump does that too. But you have

601
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 3: to be honest, you know, you go after Trump and

602
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 3: he takes it personally, and it must do I do.

603
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: I'll listen. You come intact me and my family personally.

604
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 3: You're on my list. Yeah, and that's not a list

605
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: you want to be on.

606
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,839
