Hour 4: Epstein files

Epstein files.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Poll in the Big Three. If you're having trouble getting
onto social media, so are millions of other people there are.
There's an outage right now. They say it all has
to do with the web service company called Cloudfare. They're
having a problem. Make that cloud Flair. They are having
a problem. Customers were experiencing something called number five hundred errors.

(00:25):
So if you're getting five hundred error when you're trying
to get on, that's cloud Flare. The companies are trying
to fix the problem right now. It's affecting x, it's
affecting Instagram, it's affecting Facebook. So good luck, good luck
getting on the internet today and getting on your favorite
social media sites. Also Zurin Mom Donnie has reached out

(00:49):
to the White House after a meeting with President Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
The mayor of New York I will say would like
to meet with us and we'll work something out. But
he would like to come to Washington and will work
something out. We want to see everything work out well
for New York.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
It Israel Mayor Eric Adams met with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu. Before the meeting, Mayor Adams was asked if
Mayor elect Mom Donnie was an anti Semite.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
I think that when you talk about not doing business
with Israel, not willing to acknowledge that you're going to
march in Israeli DA Parade, not being willing to stake
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

(01:37):
and those who are marched in our streets saying horrific things,
that is a clear sign of anti Semitism to me.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
There are reports that Donald Trump has made up his
mind on either a land or an air attack on Venezuela,
and the President of Venezuela now wants to talk. Is
there anything you're ready to rule out at this point,
you're ruling out US troops something around that. I don't
rule at anything.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
We just have to take care of Venezuela. They dumped
hundreds of thousands of people into our country from prisons.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
The Caribbean is now filled with naval ships, including the
aircraft carrier the Gerald R. Ford, So it does seem
like something is happening. The vote on the Epstein files
will come today in the House and with President Trump's backing.
It's expected to pass easily.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
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 (02:48):
As Democrats in Congress obsess over the Epstein files, the
Trump administration is hyper focused now on the economy and
bringing prices down.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
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 (03:15):
Now, let's get the Rich Lowry, editor in chief of
the National Review, with us every Tuesday at this very time. Rich,
I do like your take on the Epstein files. Explain
how the National Review and you see.

Speaker 7 (03:30):
This, Well, all these emails that were released, they weren't
damning about Donald Trump's or revelatory about Donald Trump. We
already knew he knew Epstein, but as we saw through
those emails, a lot of people knew Epstein, and a
lot of people were still socializing with Epstein, combining in
Epstein after Trump had long broken with him. So I

(03:51):
don't know why this is necessarily a Trump scandal. I
think it's kind of a poor judgment on the part
of the segment of the American elite scandal. Like all
these people thought Epstein knew the quote unquote right people,
so they should know him too. So that that that
seems to me the bigger story than any you know,
massive blackmail scheme that was going on or crimes that

(04:12):
Trump was implicated. And you know, we'll find out more
because it looks like these things all the investigator investigatatory
file might be released. But that's that's what all the
evidence points to at the moment.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
No, that is what all the evidence points to. There's
going to be this is going to be a story
now for months, because you have a lot of files
to go through, and they'll there will be a lot
of names, and every time one of those names is released,
everybody's going to want to talk to them. Everybody's going
to be hounding them. Who knows, I mean, the statute

(04:44):
of limitations, I don't know what it is on something
like this. It was on a private island, so I
don't know what you can do. Do you have you
looked into this as the National Review or you looked
into this what might be the legal ramifications.

Speaker 8 (04:58):
I haven't looked at the status limitations. I imagine it's
run on these kind of cases, and they're very hard
to prove even at the time, and so twenty years
hence it would be extremely difficult. And then I'm not
sure how many crimes were committed. I think what we're
going to see, certainly Epstein did and Glaine did, but

(05:19):
I think what we're going to see is more Larry
Summer's style and embarrassments. There's nothing that Larry Summers did
that was illegal as far as we know, but he
was confiding and Epstein about his attempted affairs in a
ridiculous and kind of pathetic way. So it's he just
pulled back, you know, from all his public commitments. So
it's a major stain on his reputation. So I think

(05:40):
we'll see more than more of that kind of thing.
But I'm just skeptical there was some vast conspiracy here.
Epstein knew so many people not to say he was
blackmailing them because he was because he was rich and
people thought he was influential, so that that kind of
greased the skids for him in the social world.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
But rich, they do allegedly have videos, and that is
extremely damning evidence. If there is any video of somebody
whose name we know and somebody's that has a public
is a public figure that's difficult to get away from,
that's difficult to escape that, that would be proof positive
of a pedophile of rape.

Speaker 8 (06:19):
Yeah, if those videos exist and if they show crimes, absolutely,
I think Cash Totel testified there are no such videos.
And the thing that also makes me skeptical that there's
some big blackmail scheme here that's yet to be uncovered
is you had folks who are very big on the
Epstein story prior to going in the government, whether it's

(06:39):
Cash Ftel or Don Bongino. As soon as they got
in there and saw all the evidence themselves, they're like, no,
it's not here. So maybe they're lying, you know, maybe
they're lying to cover for Donald Trump or whatever. I
just sort of doubt it. So I think we'll see embarrassments.
I think we're unlikely to see a massive criminal ring.
But again, all these things when you haven't seen it yet.

(07:00):
My attitude is you change your mind if the facts changed.
So I'll wait to see what we actually get.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Well, play this out. If there's nothing there, why was
there such resistance to releasing.

Speaker 8 (07:11):
It, Well, I think one standard practice not to release
a massive investigatory file. The way the system is supposed
to work, You investigate, and then if you can gather
evidence such that you can prove a crime, then you
charge it. And otherwise you don't say anything, you don't
release anything. Right, That's the way the system supposed to work.

(07:32):
And one reason I'm skeptical again that there are other crimes,
obvious blatant crimes sitting there that haven't been prosecuted. The
SD and Y, the Prosecutor's office in New York. These
people hate pedophiles, they hate sexual predators. They'll do anything
to nail them to the wall. They prosecuted Epstein, they
prosecuted his right hand woman, and I think they would

(07:54):
have prosecuted anyone else if there were crimes, and if
there weren't provable crimes there. It's my belief again, we'll
know more.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
So what you're just from reading the tea leaves, and
I know you know as much as I do about
what's in those files, but just from reading what has
happened so far and the prosecution so far, you think
this might just be embarrassing. But there's going to be
no legal problems, real legal problems for anyone.

Speaker 8 (08:20):
Well, I mean, it could be that they're in between cases, right,
So you think there is a girl who says she
was abused by someone we don't know yet and it's ambiguous,
or she has credibility problems, or it just you couldn't
you have trouble proving it in court even though it
looks really bad. There might be cases like that, but

(08:41):
you know, I think there will also be innocent people
who are smeared. Alan Dershowitz was accused falsely, and a
lot of people still think you did something wrong, even
though he vindicated his reputation. So that's why you don't
ordinarily release this massive amount of raw material. Now this
is a special case because somebody can have so many
questions about it and so suspicion just about it, but

(09:01):
it's not as a general matter, is not a good practice.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
That's really fascinating that you brought up Dershowitz because I
never thought of that. Everybody kind of wants blood on
this thing, and it might clear more people than it convicts.

Speaker 8 (09:15):
Well, I don't think it's going to clear people. I
think it's going to create a cloud around people, whether
justifiably or not. So maybe someone went to the island
and did terrible things and it's impossible to prove in court,
But if you look at the file, you're like, I
think this person did it. But there also just might
be people who went to the island and did nothing wrong.
But we now we know they went to the island
and we think they did something wrong. So again, the

(09:36):
way the system works, you charge someone if you can
any otherwise shut up because you don't want to create
this kind of dilemmas. But there's just a massive political
push behind getting all this stuff out no matter what.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, I'm talking about people like Dersherwitz claims that went
to the island and did nothing wrong, and he might
go because he's an attorney. People were invited there and
may not have known what was going on. That's what
I'm talking about. But we're all gonna find out together.
Rich Lowry, editor in chief of the National Review with
us every Tuesday at nine oh five, Thanks a lot Rich. Oh. No,

(10:11):
the man with one of the best voices in entertainment
is hospitalized, Ray Donovan, and the voice of Hard Knocks,
liv Shreiver is in the hospital. We'll explain what happened next.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
It seems that all Donald Trump wants to talk about
now is the economy, which means that he is getting
ready right as we speak, for the midterms. There's no
way that anybody is going to do well coming up

(10:45):
in the midterm election. Without the midterms, We're gonna be
talking a lot more about this in the next segment,
but I wanted to lay that out because it is
the topic number one. Forget everything else you're hearing. That's
gonna be the topic over the next year for both
the Democrats and the Republicans. We do appreciate all of

(11:06):
your talkbacks. Keep them coming. It makes the show. You
go to the iHeartRadio app, you look for seven to
ten wor and then you're on the air.

Speaker 9 (11:16):
Larry, these Epstein files are getting ridiculous and I can't
stand the guy.

Speaker 7 (11:20):
I could care less that he's gone.

Speaker 10 (11:21):
He was worthless.

Speaker 9 (11:23):
But it's never going to end. The Democrats had the presidency,
the Senate, everything for four years, they never sent anything.
Now they're just going to keep doing this. So no
matter what's released now, they'll say there's more. It has
to just stop at some point and move on.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
You know what. I think you're right. There's not going
to be enough answers in this. There's going to be
some people that are shamed, but I don't think there's
going to be enough answers for anybody. And they're going
to demand blood. And so you're right, this is just
going to continue and continue and continue, and it's not
going to go away.

Speaker 11 (11:58):
You know, Larry, how this is going to turn out, right,
How it's going to pan out. They're going to release
the full Epstein files, and then they're going to start
looking through them, and they're going to realize that there's
really nothing in there that's substantial about Donald Trump. So
instead of saying, wow, okay, good, well, we're satisfied now, no, no, no, no,

(12:21):
they're not. They're going to say he scrubbed the files
and it's still his fault.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Oh that's that's a really good thought. Didn't think of that.
You're absolutely right, that's going to be the next thing
out there, because there's too many people out there right
now that want blood. They want to know who these
men are. I get it, I get it. I want
to know who these men are. They're disgusting human beings.

(12:45):
Whoever was there and paid to sleep with an underage
girl should be in prison. They should be stripped of
everything they have and be in prison. I just don't
know if there's going to be enough in these files
to get there. And that's the fear, is that there

(13:08):
might be some people who will be wrongly accused that
are in those files, because Richard going to assume everybody
that's mentioned there is wrong, everybody that's mentioned there was
a child predator, And I'm not sure that's going to
be the case, but that will be I mean, I'm
not sure it is the case, but it's going to

(13:29):
be in the public forum.

Speaker 12 (13:31):
Larry, I think Trump's meeting with Mom Donnie, if it happens,
is going to be about as productive as Trump's meeting
with Putin. Both of those guys are communists, and both
of them I think are going to be not friendly
to Trump or to our capitalist way of life.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, I think Trump just wants to play with him
like a cat playing with a mouse. I'm not sure
that anything's going to happen. He's certainly not going to
give him anything he's asking for. So I agree with you.
I agree with you. It's a meeting to get a
lot of attention for both men, but maybe nothing is
going to happen. Live Schreiber. I'm a big fan. I
really am a big fan. I loved him in Ray Donovan,

(14:14):
didn't you. I'm sorry that Ray Donovan went away. It
was a wonderful He was like the fixer, the Hollywood fixer. Anyway.
He was hospitalized in New York City on November sixteenth
after experiencing a severe headache and contacting his doctor, who
advised immediate medical attention. He stayed overnight for test and

(14:35):
was cleared to return to work the following day. Though
the exact cause of the episode still remains unknown. Now,
Schreiber revealed he had suffered transient global amnesia, a rare
migrain related condition while performing on Broadway on October twenty

(14:56):
twenty four, which typically resolves itself. It sounds like something
may have come back, may have hit him again, but
so he doesn't sound like he's in the hospital right now.
He sounds like he's getting treatment privately, but you know,
we just wish him well. I don't know if you

(15:16):
watch Hard Knocks. Do you ever watch Hard Knocks?

Speaker 13 (15:18):
I have not.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Oh it's I'm addicted to it. It shows there's now
three of them, there's now in season, there's off season,
there's training camp. And Liv Schreiber is the voice. He's
got an incredible voice.

Speaker 14 (15:32):
It's the day before camp opens Courtland, New York. He's
making its final preparations. So are the Jets, who have
finally hammered out the details of a new contract.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah. What a great voice. Yep. Yeah, he's just a
wonderful voice. One of my favorite episodes ever is when
Liv Schreiber went to visit the Jets training camp and
Aaron Rodgers was so excited. He kept telling all the
play players all around. He kept going, please, you gotta
go meet him. Blicki's lonely, go meet him, go talk

(16:05):
to go talk to liveshiver. So I was trying to
find that episode and couldn't find it. But of people
that saw know exactly what I'm talking about. Now, let's
get to Jacquelin Karl with the nine to thirty News.

Speaker 15 (16:17):
Jacquelin hey Laria vote on a measure that will require
the Justice Department to release essentially all files on convicted
sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is scheduled for today in the
House of Representatives. After resisting the release of the documents,
President Trump has now encouraged House Republicans to support the measure,
and Mayor Eric Adams continues his.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Trip to Israel. Today.

Speaker 16 (16:38):
Adams is touring the terror tunnels dug by Hamas between
Gaza and Israel. The mayor also seeing the site where
the October seventh, twenty twenty three Hamas attack on Israel
took place. After Israel, Adams is headed to Azbekistan for
a multi day trip. He'll be meeting with government, business
and other leaders to discuss how New York City can
partner with Huzbekistan to bring businesses and jobs to the

(16:58):
Five boroughs. I'm sc from WR News.

Speaker 15 (17:01):
So, how would you like to see something you painted
in the Louver next to the Mona Lisa Well. According
to cyber News, two pranksters have managed to successfully sneak
their own painting into the Louver Museum in Paris, placing
it in the same room as the Mona Lisa. This
follows as we all know, that major heightst last month

(17:22):
where the stole jewelry worth about eighty eight million dollars
from the museum in around four minutes. The pranksters this
is how they got their painting past metal detectors. They
built the frame out of legos. I'm laughing because it
was no real harm done, but it just shows that
the Louver definitely needs much better security for this to

(17:42):
happen right after that big heist, for them to put
a bang of painting next to them near the Mona Lisa.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
And the worst thing now is every prankster in the
world is going to do this now here anybody. Yeah,
it's going to happen over and over again, just to
embarrass the security people there.

Speaker 17 (17:58):
Well, is it gonna take weeks later after you know
the insanity that was going on over there, people breaking in,
stealing jewelry, and now they you would think irreplaceable jewelry,
not even just the eighty eight million, but this jewelry
was irreplaceable. I mean, I haven't had the opportunity to
go to the Louver in my life, but honestly, I

(18:19):
don't feel like it's a safe place to go to.
It's beautiful and it's just.

Speaker 15 (18:24):
The only thing is I mean, like right after this
heist that now, if I just did this, I'd be like, oh,
this is like a bank sea thing. But if not
for the heist, but now because the heist, it's like,
what are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (18:35):
You've probably been then to see the Mona Lisa.

Speaker 17 (18:38):
Yeah, and from what I've heard, it's you know, it's
not the biggest space, and you would think that at
least there were guards in that room.

Speaker 14 (18:45):
You know something.

Speaker 15 (18:46):
I don't remember the room. I couldn't tell you what
the paint is in our kitchen right now with a
gun to my eye, but I do remember seeing it.
And I always always think is it a forger? Is
it the real one? Because of all the movies I watch.
But I don't remember how big the room is. But
you would think, yes, that there'd be security near the
Mona Lisa. But I'm not one of those people. It's
got my eye.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Out, Yeah, I know, it's not. There's not a lot
of security. There's no there's hardly anybody there. And it's
just a painting. It's not like in its own room.
It's just a painting with a whole bunch of other
paintings around it. So it's nothing. It is nothing special,
and we by the way, it isn't it really isn't.
You get there, you go, eh, look at that. All right,

(19:27):
let's go what's next to our agenda?

Speaker 13 (19:28):
Right?

Speaker 1 (19:29):
We went. You know what I loved about the louver though,
is the outside of it. It's yes, Oh my god, God,
more than the inside of the outside. I was stunned
by that.

Speaker 15 (19:39):
That's just you just need to cruise by in a
tour bus and see the outside.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
We'll say this. We had an agenda that day and
we ran in just to see the Mona Lisa. I
didn't even go through the rest of the louver. I
just went, oh, there's the Mona Lisa. I know you
could do it all on one day.

Speaker 17 (19:54):
I was gonna say, you're not alone with that.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
A lot of people do that.

Speaker 17 (19:56):
They go in to see the one thing they want
to see in it.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Out they go, yeah, that was us, Thanks so much.
Jacquelyne Is.

Speaker 15 (20:04):
Get over to Wall Street at the opening bell. There's

thirty points. The SMP opened down thirty six points. In
the nastac opened down one hundred and fifty nine points.
All that Mona, Lisa, Talkhead, Larry a little bit.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, I know they get it. Yeah, it seems like
it made the stock market go down to It is
the battle of the issues and what Americans care about most.
The Democrats want to talk about the Epstein files and
Donald Trump wants to talk about the economy and bringing
down prices. You can hear them kind of fight it out. Next,

Speaker 1 (21:46):
It's going to be the battle of the issues, and
it's going to start today. All the media is going
to want to talk about is Epstein. The vote today
and the House should go through easily. Easily. In the Senate,
there's still a little bit of a question, but I
think after public pressure, it's going to go through there.

(22:07):
Donald Trump already said he's going to sign it. We'll
see if they get released. John Decker a little bit
earlier brought up a very fascinating point, and that is
Donald Trump, if you're a member, in the last couple
of weeks, has asked for an investigation by the Justice
Department into Larry Summers, the former Secretary of the Treasury

(22:27):
who is now at Harvard University running the place, and
Bill Clinton, former President Bill Clinton. John Decker pointed out
that many times the Justice Department will refuse to release
any information on a crime that they are investigating, and
because of this investigation into Clinton and Somers, they might

(22:52):
say no, no, we can't release it right now. That's
going to be a huge controversy if and when that happens.
But the names are what people want. People want blood.
And the young women that were victimized, who were by
the way on Capitol Hill yesterday talking about what happened

(23:13):
and holding a younger image of themselves, an image of
themselves when they were violated by these rich men, people
want to know who they are after them.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
They should not have scholarships named after them. They should
not be teaching at fancy universities or being on board.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, we had a bit of a technical problem. Let
me play Rocanna again.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
These rich and powerful men who abused them or covered
up should not have buildings named after them. They should
not have scholarships named after them.

Speaker 14 (23:42):
They should not be teaching.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
At fancy universities or being on boards of corporations. It
is really horrific and it's going to shock the conscience
of this country.

Speaker 6 (23:51):
Really what took place?

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, maybe, I mean Rocanna knows as much as we do.
Maybe it all depends on the names that are on there.
And here's what Donald Trump had to say about the
names that may be on there.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
We have nothing to do with fsteam and Democrats too.
All of his friends were Democrats. You look at this
Rietoff and you look at Larry Summers, Bill Clinton, they
went to his island all the time. Many of this
are all Democrats.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
So that's all anybody's gonna be talking about over Who
knows how long this is going to last. This was
the big distraction. We had the shutdown, and the Democrats
then released those just those three emails, those three cherry
picked emails. That's all they could find in all of
those emails, the tens of thousands of emails they could

(24:39):
they had, that's all they could find about Donald Trump.
And they released them, and one of them was bogus. Anyway,
they blacked out the name of Virginika free who said
I had nothing to do with Donald Trump. And yet
in there it insinuated that somebody, somebody had violated her,
and then you thought, is Donald Trump because they blacked

(25:02):
out the name, And it's going to be politics from
here on out and a distraction from here on it.
Nobody's talking about the shutdown, right everybody's talking about Epstein now.
But at the same time, America, their number one issue
is still the economy. Their number one issue is still

(25:22):
affordability because prices have gone up. Now, when we talk
about this, we need to talk about how ridiculous it
is that Donald Trump is blamed. Now. I get you
blame the person that's in office. If you're hurting who's
in charge, that's the guy that blame. But under Joe Biden,

(25:46):
the inflation prices went up twenty one percent over those
four years. They hit a high at eight point nine percent,
the highest since Jimmy Carter, the highest in forty three years. So,
and Donald Trump's had inflation down below two in some quarters.
It's now at three. That's considered high for the Trump administration.

(26:09):
So to blame him for the prices that right now
are ridiculous.

Speaker 6 (26:13):
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 (26:30):
And reason is going to have a big twenty twenty
six is not only because all the investment in America.
There's been factories being built right now. There's plants being
built right now. AI facilities in Arizona and in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania are being built right now. They should be up
next year, which means a huge increase in high paying

(26:53):
jobs and middle class jobs, which will be a big
influx of money into the economy. And the tariffs are
bringing in money as well. And then when they reduce
the tariffs on some of these goods, prices are going
to go down.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
All I want is I want for people to recognize
a great job that I've done on pricing, on affordability,
because we've brought prices way down, but they go way
lower on energy.

Speaker 14 (27:22):
On ending eight wars.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
And another one coming pretty soon. I believe we've done
a great job and I hate to see that deflect
from the great job we've done.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Right anything deflect the shutdown the Epstein files. I mean,
he wants right now people to pay attention because of
what's going to be done, although maybe he's not remembering
that the GDP, the gross National product, is going to
come out and it's going to be hit hard by
that shutdown.

Speaker 19 (27:53):
Because of the airlines being slowed down and everything. The
CEAIS now estimates that it lost sixty thousand American jobs,
not for government workers, just because of the reduced output.
And so right now, I think we're looking at GDP
at the fourth quarter about one and a half percent
lower than it would have been if we didn't have
the shut down.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Right, So twenty twenty six is the year that is
going to be really good. So maybe we'll be to
stop talking about the Epstein files by then, and maybe
we can enjoy a great economy and dividends that are
going to be paid of two thousand dollars from the
tariffs to middle class Americans, which yes, it probably is

(28:33):
a payoff for the midterms. But all that's going to
be happening next year. It's going to be a merry
Christmas and a happy New Year when we come back.
My final thoughts. A recap of today's show and the
talk back of the morning. After years of talking about
the Epstein files, we may finally see them. After years

(28:54):
of talking about justice for his victims, over one thousand
underage girls who were old captive on what came to
be known as Pedophile Island may finally now get justice.
The vote in the House today is expected to be
unanimous to release the files. Oh how far we've come.
Most famous people, many famous people, I should say, will

(29:18):
be embarrassed and should be, but proof of a crime
is a much higher bar that doesn't sound like it
will be reached. It is very possible that the famous
people will lose their jobs, lose their standing, and go
through life with a scarlet letter that will force them
to live the remainder of those lives in shame. I

(29:41):
know that won't be enough for many, but it's going
to have to be for the rest of their lives.
They'll be walking with that shame. Maybe they'll take the
shame away from their victims and have to wear it themselves,
like the former Prince Andrew, who is now a four recluse,
kept away from the rest of civilized society. For the

(30:05):
women who have been living with the nightmares of what was.
They should know that the rich predators will now bear
a lifelong sentence. Dozens of those victims gather at the
steps of the Capitol yesterday holding pictures of the youth
that was robbed for them. It was heartbreaking. We have

(30:28):
a lot more steps to go through, but in the end,
I hope they find solace in peace and what will come,
because what is coming is a day of reckoning. Coming
up on Mark Simone Streaming, hosts Bill O'Reilly and political
strategist Ed Rollins Now a recap of today's show. ABC

(30:50):
News Corresponded in Jerusalem, Jordana Miller believes Zorin Mamdani needs
to tone down his talk of arresting Benjamin net Yahoo.

Speaker 20 (31:00):
With all due respect to Mom Donnie, he should definitely
check the facts before he speaks. The United States is
not party to the International Criminal Court. It doesn't apply
to the United States. There's no authority to arrest the
Israeli Prime Minister. Now, maybe that was a great line
when he was running for mayor of New York City,
but I would suggest he shall fit.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Wr White House correspondent John Decker thinks despite the House
vote happening today, we could see another delay in the
release of the Epstein files.

Speaker 21 (31:33):
Here is the fly in the ointment, Larry, and that's
the Attorney General, Pam Bondi. Pambondi could say, there is
an ongoing investigation into ties between Jeffrey Epstein and those
high profile Democrats like Larry Summers and former President Bill Clinton,
and because of that ongoing investigation, I cannot release these
files right now.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Former New York City Minority Leader Joe Burrelli is preparing
for the Mom Donnie and the City Council to make
a mess of New York City.

Speaker 13 (32:05):
The City Council has the power to implement new rules
on policing. So it could be, for example, that police
have to fill out more forms whenever they stop and
search somebody. It could be that the police department gets defunded.
It could have different quotas on hiring, It could have
different ways of jailing people on Riker's Island. There is
no limit to stupid ideas.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Wo R weeknight host of Fox Across America, Jimmy Fayla
is loving the voter's remorse over Zorin. Mom Donnie.

Speaker 8 (32:33):
You know when you go out and you have this
really wild night and wake up the next day and
you go, what the hell did I do?

Speaker 13 (32:40):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (32:40):
You start looking at the pictures in.

Speaker 21 (32:42):
Your phone and you're like, wait, we voted for what?

Speaker 4 (32:46):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (32:48):
That's what's happening to young voters, and I love that
they learned it the night of the election.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
This morning, we discussed how prices for weight loss drugs
like ozepic and will go vi R dropping you to
pressure from Donald Trump. Our talk back of the Day
and winner of Minty in the Morning, T Shirt, shared
how these medications completely changed his life.

Speaker 5 (33:12):
I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol pot disease, I'm
diabetic and I tooked to my doctor.

Speaker 8 (33:20):
He put me on the GLP one medication.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
I went from two eighty five two hundred and I
am off all that other medication.

Speaker 15 (33:30):
I feel amazing.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
That's why we have to bring the prices way down
on these medications. I know there's a price drop today,
but they're still far too expensive unless you go to
the doctor and they prescribe it. So uh, we have
to keep up the pressure and just getting those prices
to come down. And don't forget the best talk back
