Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, good morning to you. Newsflash, it's still cold out there,
so make sure you put on a jacket today. There's
some chances are ragined, but not till late tonight. Other
than that, it's a really nice week. It's just gonna
be it's gonna be cold, but you know, it's winter
in the big threes or storing Mom Donnie has reached
out to the White House asking for a meeting with
(00:22):
President Donald Trump. The mayor of New York.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I will say, would like to meet with us and
we'll work something out.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
But he would like to come to Washington and meet
and we'll work something out.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We want to see everything worked out well for New York.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, there's going to be a meeting. They're both still
talking about it. When and where is still up in
the air. In Israel, Mayor Eric Adams met with Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin net and Yahoo. Before the meeting, Mayor
Adams was asked on Israeli TV if Mayor Mom Donnie
(00:55):
was an anti Semite.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I think that when you talk about doing business with Israel,
not willing to acknowledge that you're going to march in
Israeli Day Parade, not being willing to state you're going
to come and visit Israel in other countries. It sends
the wrong message and he has to define that. But
I know those who are part of the DSA and
(01:17):
those who are marched in our streets saying horrific things.
That is a clear sign of anti Semitism to me.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
There are reports that Donald Trump has made up his
mind on either a land or air attack on Venezuela,
and the President of Venezuela now wants to talk to him.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Is there anything you're.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Ready to rule out at this point, or you're ruling
out US troops something around that.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I don't rule out anything.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
We just have to take care of Venezuela. They dumped
hundreds of thousands of people into our country from prisons.
The vote on the Epstein files will come today in
the House, and with President Trump's backing now, it's expected
to pass easily.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
We may get to a unanimous vote. Look, this is
the most horrific, disgusting scandal in American history. You had
Epstein with basically a rape violin thousand plus victims, and
rich and powerful men who raped underage girls or covered
it up and haven't had accountability.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
As the Democrats in Congress obsess over Epstein. The Trump
administration is hyper focused on the economy now and bringing
prices down.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
I think twenty twenty six, thanks to President Trump's signature plans,
is going to be a great year for working Americans.
For the markets. I call it parallel prosperity. Main Street
and Wall Street can both do great, but I think
Main Street's going to have a great year in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Speaking of bringing prices down, after pressure from Donald Trump,
the cost of weight loss drugs like ozempic and Wagovi
go down starting today.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
For self paying patients. Starting today, patients can access we
go vi nozempic for one ninety nine a month for
the first few months, and then it moves to three
forty nine a month.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, it's still expensive, but it's gonna go down. It's
gonna go down, but it's gonna keep going down after that.
The problem with this is that these GLP one drugs
are so beneficial in health, not only for losing weight.
(03:24):
You know, that's that's just the advertising for them. You're
gonna lose weight. And I think we all know somebody
now that's been on a GOLP one drug and if
they admit it. A lot of people likes to tell
you that they just lost the weight on their own. Yeah, right,
in a month, you drop thirty pounds. I got it, Yes,
I get it. But if they will admit it to you,
(03:45):
they will tell you how good they feel all around.
Because this is not just an important drug in losing weight.
It's a miracle drug because weight gain causes so many
other problems, and having encounter bring a lot of weight
causes so many other problems. The problems you know are
list diabetes, you know, that's number one, heart disease, liver disease,
(04:11):
it might cause Alzheimer's, that's what they're looking at right now.
In dementia because it builds up plaque on the brain.
There's ailment after ailment, serious ailment. Death causing ailments after
ailment after ailment after ailment are now attributed to weight
gain and carrying too much weight. So this is too
(04:34):
important to outprice it. This. If there is a life
saving drug out there, it's much too important to Americans
to outprice it now. I know Donald Trump went to
them and said, we need favored nation status. We need
the price to come down all over. But the price
of it is still too high. Most Americans can't afford
(04:58):
to pay three hundred forty nine dollars a month. Most
Americans can't afford to pay even one ninety nine a month.
This is way too high and it's way too important.
I don't care how they do it, because it saves lives.
But they need to bring the price of these drugs
(05:20):
down now, even now as it is. A study has
been out and one in eight Americans, one in eight adults,
I should say, in the US take a GLP one
medication such as wagovi or ozembic one in eight, it's
(05:41):
according to a poll release November fourteenth by the Health
Health policy nonprofit KFF. The survey found about one in
four users had to pay the full cost of the medication.
That's how important this was to them. They're paying one
thousand dollars a month, nine hundred dollars a month to
(06:02):
save their own lives. Can't the government subsidize some of this?
I'll tell you what Donald Trump wants to wants to
win the midterms. Take care of this. Don't just bring
the prices down a couple of one hundred hours. So
it's where it's still unaffordable. It's almost worse that it
(06:24):
gets to the point where you can almost reach it,
where you can almost get it, but you can't. You can't,
and so you have to suffer through all the ailments
you have and what could possibly happen to you. It
really is just not fair. But you know, let me
go through the prices. How about this, we'll go through
(06:45):
what they're at today.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
The daily pill will be available in multiple doses like
the weekly injections, and effectiveness is anticipated to be very
close to the injections for now. Competitor Eli La Lee, I'm.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Going to stop this and explain what Terry Narula is
talking about, who is a doctor who works with ABC News.
She's talking about the pills coming out and a lot
of people are waiting this for this it's going to
come out soon. I think it's going to be put
out by Nova, and so the pill form is going
to cost a little bit less, but the pill form
(07:20):
of many many people I know of in my life. Look,
i'd like to I will fully admit I'd love to
take this. I would love to, but I got two
kids in college. You know, I have other expenses. I
can't afford this, right now, I can't put this into
my life. My wife would like to take it too,
(07:40):
and if anybody, I'll let her go first. And so
I'm not going to be able to take it for
a while because I'm just like you or a lot
of people out there. I can't afford this right now,
and I just I think that's inherently unfair. Maybe when
the pill comes out, because they say it's going to
be a little bit cheaper now here.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
The daily pill be available in multiple doses like the
weekly injections, and effectiveness is anticipated to be very close
to the injections for now. Competitor Eli Lilly has not
made an announcement about reducing costs this year, and they
too have a GLP one pill seeking FDA approval that
they hope is available by next summer, starting at one
hundred and forty nine dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
See now, that would be pretty good. So if you
can wait till next year. The pill form seem to
be a little bit less, but still over one hundred
hours a month. Still you're going to be paying, you know,
fifteen hundred hours a year to lose weight. Is it
worth it? Yes? Yes, only because it deals with so
(08:44):
many other things, including heart problems, things that can kill you,
things that can make you die younger. So even if
you're even if you're a little overweight, I'm not telling
about a couple of pounds. I'm talking about a couple
dozen pounds overweight. It's worth taking. And that's why I
(09:08):
just wish they would bring it to market a lot sooner.
Here's the price drop that we're gonna.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
Get right now and on the horizon, non injectable weight
loss medications in the form of a daily pill for.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Self paying patients. Starting today, patients can access we Go
viano zembic for one ninety nine a month for the
first few months, and then it moves to three forty
nine a month.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Right, So you get it for one ninety nine for
two months, and then the third month it drops up
the three forty nine. And by the way, the first
two months really do nothing. I mean, you'll have weight loss,
but if you go off off and after two months,
you're gonna go right back up. So the whole thing
is a big scam. Here here here's what I would
(09:52):
say just to end this. What I would say to
end this, and I'd love to hear from you about this.
By leaving, leaving us a talk by on seven to
ten wor on the iHeartRadio app to see if this
is something you want, something you've been trying to get,
something you can't afford, something you'd love to have. And
if you agree with me that this is such an
(10:14):
important drug right now that it should be subsidized, not
the companies. They don't get the money, We should get
the money. We should get money off on this go
to the iHeartRadio App. I just think it's that important.
If there's a life saving drug, we should be able
to get it. Well, A wedding turned into a trip
(10:37):
to the er after a bride'smaid's dance floor stunt went
horribly wrong. Hear her shocking story. Next, plus tickets to
see air supply at A twenty five. Now let's get
to John Decker lot going on. The center is in Washington,
wr White House in Washington, correspondent and host of the
new podcast The White House Briefing Room with John Decker
(10:59):
that can be found on the iHeartRadio app, and he
joins us every Tuesday and Thursday. At this time, John,
let's talk about Venezuela and a carrier group now being
in the Caribbean. Somebody said, it's like twenty percent of
our naval forces are now there. Are we getting ready
for an invasion?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Well, it depends what President Trump says and what day
he says it. Because on Sunday he said he wants
to talk to Nicholas Maduro, the president of Venezuela, open
for discussions. But then, as you point out, you know,
actions speak louder than words, because you have the Navy's
largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, now in
(11:41):
the Caribbean, and they are sending a very important message
to Nicholas Maduro. The President would very much like to
see him leave power in Venezuela, and what better way
to do it by showing this naval force in the Caribbean.
And also it extends beyond the Caribbean. We have a
significant amount of forces now based in Puerto Rico as well,
(12:04):
so a lot of firepower that can be used against
Nicholas Maduro and his regime if the President wishes to
do that.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And he seemed to send a threat to the president
of Mexico as well, saying he's not very happy with
Mexico in that they haven't secured the border. The way
he would like.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Well, the President threatening Mexico, threatening the country of Colombia
as well, the President indicating that perhaps the US would
initiate military action against either of those countries. So the
president really flexing his muscles. And it's at odds with
what the president campaigned on not only in twenty sixteen, Larry,
(12:45):
but also in twenty twenty four, the end of the
so called never ending Wars. The president really has been
reluctant to use military force, certainly boots on the ground,
while he's president of the United States. And yet that's
exactly what the President is threatening right now.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Do you think that this is just a big threat,
and of course he has to say yes, he'd go
through with an invasion or the threat is hollow. Do
you think it's just a big threat to get what
he wants.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Well, it's some way to you know, make a threat.
I mean, you know, to bring all of this naval
power into the Caribbean, you know, I mean, you don't
do that just you know, for a cruise, you know,
through the Caribbean. You do this to show your firepower
and to extend your force in that area. So look,
I don't know what's the President is thinking. The President
(13:33):
said on Friday of last week Larry that he's already
made up his mind in terms of what he'd like
to do as it relates to Venezuela. Obviously not indicating
how he's made up his mind specifically, but clearly, you know,
this is an area of the world that has gotten
the attention of the President's national security team. His national
security team meeting at the White House last week in
(13:55):
the Situation Room that includes Marco Rubio, the Secretary of
State and simultaneously the National Security Advisor, as well as
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. So there are options that
are on the table for the president. Always are options
on the table. It's just a matter of whether he
invokes some of those options, which could include ground forces
(14:16):
on the ground in Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Now, as I understand it, he'd have to be really careful,
especially when it comes to Maduro. Now, if he wanted
to have air strikes and he wanted to take out
some of the cartels where they're making cocaine and or fentanyl,
he can you know, he could probably get away with
that and not upset China and Russia. Don't they have
ties to Maduro.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
They do have ties to Maduro, so you know, they
haven't really indicated that they're up set in any way
in terms of the naval force, the naval power that
the US has brought into the region. But both Russia
and China are indeed allies of Venezuela, specifically of Venezuela's President,
(14:59):
Nicholas Maduro.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Now let's talk about the Epstein files. It sounds like
at this point they are going to be released. The vote,
somebody was saying Rocana was saying he's hoping for a
unanimous vote.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I think it will be a unanimous vote. The reason
being is before you know, the President changed his mind
on Sunday night with that social media post urging Republicans
to support this measure. You have every Democrat in the
House indicating they would support this legislation, and then with
the President essentially endorsing the bill, I think it's going
(15:31):
to be a unanimous vote coming out of the House
of Representatives today. And what does that bill do. It
would compel the Department of Justice to release all of
its files related to the criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
Then if it passes the House, and it likely will
as we just mentioned it, then moves on to the Senate,
and the Senate Majority Leader, Larry, that's John fun has
(15:54):
not yet indicated whether he bring this bill on the
floor for a vote in the Senate, but you got
to figure he would. I mean, you know, after a
unanimous vote in the House, that's a lot of pressure,
a lot of momentum to see a vote take place
in the US Senate.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Right, and also pressure from Donald Trump, who's saying, just
release them now, it's not going to hurt me, Just
go ahead and release them. So I would think Zune's
gonna at least have a vote. Where that vote goes,
I don't think anybody dare vote against it at this point.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Well, that's right, you know, because of the vote that
we'll see happening in the House, that puts a lot
of pressure on Republican senators. And if the President endorses
the legislation, why wouldn't he for the Senate then yeah,
you would expect a unanimous vote, you would expect it
to be signed by the president. But here is the
fly in the ointment, Larry, and that's the attorney general
of Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi could even after these votes
(16:47):
take place. Say, there is an ongoing investigation, as you know,
launched last week into ties between Jeffrey Epstein and those
high profile Democrats like Larry Summers and former President Built Clinton.
And because of that ongoing investigation, I cannot release these
files right now. That could still happen, and that would
(17:07):
frustrate a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Let's talk about
the warming relationship between Zora and Mamdani and Donald Trump.
Out of nowhere, Donald Trump says, y'all meet with them.
I want New York to do well. How did that
change come about?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Well, look, he's going to be the mayor come January,
the first of the nation's most populous city. The President
is a native New Yorker. The President wants to see
New York do well. I think the President in wanting
to meet with Mandamie wants to see whether he's going
to govern the way he campaigned just trying to secure
the Democratic nomination as a democratic socialist, or if he's
(17:48):
going to work with the administration and campaign as someone
who wants to see New York do well without all
the focus on some of those socialist policies. So you
know the president. You know, today May I'll have a
good feeling about the incoming mayor of New York City,
but that could change tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Larry. You know the way the president is right, especially
if Momdani tries to lecture him on affordability, that's not
going to go really well. You can get more from
John Decker and the iHeartRadio app. Just search for his podcast,
White House Briefing Room with John Decker, and be sure
to set a preset. John's going to be back with
us Thursday at seven oh five. Look forward to it. John.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Thanks, thanks so much, Larry, you have a great day.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Thank you too. So whose names are in the Epstein File?
Who should be nervous right now? Let's talk to Jimmy
Faylo about that. Jimmy Fayler w R host from nine
to midnight on Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayla and
host of Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Fayler on
the Fox News Channel. Most importantly, he joins us every
(18:53):
Tuesday at this time. Jimmy, I'm sure, like everybody else
in the country, you're fascinated by the Epstein files. Who's
nervous right now?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Apparently a lot of people because Twitter and the rest
of the Internet is not working. I mean, think about that.
Trump tell Congress last night around eleven screw it released
all the files. I got out of bed this morning, like, oh,
I got to see this. There's nothing to say. Man,
So roundabout way tells us a lot a hud.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, they've already been kind of naming names. Trump certainly has.
He's trying to distract and point to everybody else, you know,
because I think that people were looking at him for
a while and he said, no, I got nothing to hide.
He goes and he said, I, you know, I don't
want to speak out of school, but I think Bill
Clinton and Larry Summers might be worried.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yeah, let's ride. And apparently Larry Summers is because he
announced he's stepping back from all of his public activities
at Harvard and the Times and everything else. Think about this, man, Okay,
you know, to the bills in point if Epstein and
we know this to be true, this is confirmed. Epstein
had an oil painting of Bill Clinton wearing Monica Lewinsky's
(20:10):
dress framed at the top of the stairs in his house.
Now I say that because imagine the type of friendship
and bond you have to have with a buddy to
be okay with that. You know, like some guys go
on spring break, get drunk and get a test when
their ankle together. What do you have to do on
spring break to not only get like, instead of an
ankle tattoo, No, no, no, we're doing an oil painting at
(20:32):
the top of my stairs. Like that had to be
a no.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
No. I agree with you. I have a feeling that
we are. You know, everybody says it's gonna be a
big nothing burger. Everybody says, you're gonna take a look
at it, you're gonna be disappointed. There's not that much
stuff in there. I disagree the fact that they've been
trying to hide this for a long time. There's somebody
in there. I don't know who it is, and I
(20:57):
know we've talked about a couple of names, but there's somebody.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Yeah, there certainly is. And it seems like we should
be asking Democratic Congress women because they were texting Epstein
an awful lot. You know, if you saw that back
and forth and the court case, I'm like, you know,
you could speed this up instead of releasing the Epstein files.
Just release your text messages, you know, just your data plan.
It's crazy, but yeah, you know it's something. I mean,
(21:24):
you know, there was one of the emails leaked last
night said Hillary might have been having an affair with
that Vince Forrester guy who mysteriously died again. We don't
know how much of this is true, how much of
this is strategically written. But the one thing I can
tell everyone listening is if you're looking for a job
as a food taster, Calf of Washington, DC.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Is hiring right now. You know what, You're absolutely right.
We have to watch what who dies over the next
week or so or the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Because the hottest gift, Yeah, the hottest gift, the hottest
Christmas gift in Washington, the guy who will start your
car for you.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Oh, come on, that's funny. Natalie made a bad face.
That is that's funny. Hey. What gets me about zorin
mom Donnie right now is he's finding out extremely quickly.
He's not even merry yet, and already all of the
things he's promised. Kathy Hokl saying Nope, not going to
do that. Nope, You're not going to do that, so
(22:24):
the child cares out for right now. The buses are
out right now because there's no way he can get
the money for it. Why is this such a surprise
to everybody?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I know, it's so funny because we all, you know,
we saw the whole thing coming. And you know, I
think for Mom Donnie, and I think for the people
who voted for Mom Donnie, I think they needed to
have this moment because what happened was his election was
that wild night of drinking for some New York for
you know, when you go out and you have this
really wild night and wake up the next day and
(22:57):
you go, what the hell did I do? Okay? You
start looking at the pictures and your phone and you're like, wait,
we voted for what they get on somewhere okay. And
you all know this to be true, and we discussed
this on the show.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Okay, I'm gonna take your analogy. I'm gonna take your
analogy in one up it. You turn in the band
and you see somebody there and go, oh my god,
what the hell did I do? That's what's happening with Mondani.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yes, you know that, you know that night of drinking. Okay,
will you drink so hard that your Apple facial recognition
software won't open your phone the next day. Okay, that's
what's happening to young voters, and I love that they
learned it. The night of the election, we discussed this
(23:43):
on the show. He had that fricking cash bar, and
that tells you everything you needed to know. Free buses
and control all the good stuff. Anyway you want to
bud light, that will be thirteen dollars, I know.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
And then he asked for money after saying he was
gonna give free everything. Then he begged for money for
his transition team. We not did nobody else see this coming.
Of course this was of course it was gonna be
like this.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yeah, a thousand percent. So I find that part funny,
but it is that reality. Like you said, everybody's wisting
up in bed. They they woke up in the morning,
they looked at the ceiling, they didn't recognize it, and
then they turned to their left and said, what the
hell those thirteen dollars bud life. I don't know why
(24:32):
I drank too many.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I do love that zorin Mom, Donnie's gonna go down
to the White House to meet with Donald Trump. Allegedly
they haven't sat a date or anything like that, but
both of them have talked about it. Both of them
have said, yes, Donald Trump loves these moments. He loves
to do this to play with somebody, like a cat
playing with a mouse before he kills it. He's I
don't think Mom Donnie realizes what he's walking into.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Yeah, it is a bad sign. And that Pete Hegseth
is offering Mom Donnie a boat to get down to Washington.
He can sail down the river. We'll get you there
a little quicker. Now he doesn't know. I mean again,
he wants the relevance just the same. And you know,
I think there's a part of him that really covets
that meeting with Trump for that reason, because he wants
(25:19):
to be resistance guy. But the problem with all of
the resistance guys is if nobody who votes for you
has anything to show for it, the resistance only goes
so far. When the rent is due. You know, you
can't call up the landlord and be like, hey, man,
I know I don't have the money, but did you
see the resistance? You know it's not going to work.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
No, it's not going to work at all. I just
want to bring up one last thing about the the
Epstein files. It was you know, you had this shutdown.
It was horrible for the Democrats at the end when
they got angry, they proved that it was all their faults.
America suffered, and then all of a sudden, boom, all
these letters come out about the Epstein files. And how
about the media. I heard this analogy before. The media
(26:01):
is like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. They just turned
to movement, anything like look over here and they're and
they're looking over there. That distraction worked. We're not talking
about the shutdown at all.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah, they definitely wanted to move on from the shutdown.
And it makes sense when you say the media is
lake the dinosaurs, because if you look at senior Democratic leadership,
they are the actual dynamos like Schumer burning Pelosi. So
it's like a hand in hand thing what they got
going on there. So it does make sense they do
want the diversion what happened here. And someone really, I
(26:37):
mean someone who works in the White House told me
this last night. I don't want to out them because
I don't know if this was exclusive or not, but
essentially Trump knew he had to release this stuff six
months ago and really didn't want to because he thought
the selectively leaked emails would be used to make him
look bad, even though there was no overall smoking gun
that would bring him down. Okay, but he didn't really
(26:59):
want them out there for that reason. He just didn't
want to give them a day in, day out trip
trip trip where they could sort of wrongfully accuse him
through selective omission. But he knew it was going to
come to this and kind of resisted it so the
Democrats would beat the drum louder. And now they've built
it all the way to a crescendo where they're the
ones that are going to get a hit by the waterfall. Yeah,
you know, on this little log flume ride to Epstein Island.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, God, it makes a lot of sense. Jimmy Faylo
WR host from nine to midnight Fox Across America with
Jimmy Fayala joins us every Tuesday at eight thirty five
