Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here's more marks alone on seven to ten Wash. Well,
so what it is? What's the day today? December third?
It's only December third. I walk in the lobby. There's
a Christmas tree in the lobby of the building. There's
a wreath, there's a come up here to the sixth floor.
(00:22):
I get off the elevator, there's a Christmas tree. They
walk by Light FM. There's Christmas music all the time.
It's everywhere. Yesterday, walking over the Fox along sixth Avenue,
the candy canes are up, the big candy canes, the
big ornaments are up. The tree on top of the
Marquee at Radio City Music Hall. Tonight they light the
tree and Rockefeller Center. You know, Bryant Park, beautiful Bryant Park.
(00:47):
But that's become a big deal, that tree. They had
their tree lighting ceremony last night. A lot of people
showed up. It's not as big as the Rockefeller Center thing.
They don't have, you know, seventeen famous singers singing there,
but they're getting there year by year by year. So
be careful if you're driving tonight, avoid midtown Manhattan Rockefeller Center.
It will be massive gridlock everywhere. Steve Whitkoff, our negotiator,
(01:13):
and Jared Kushner, who wasn't of much use in the
first term of Trump, but this time around he's very
useful when it comes to these negotiations. He was brilliant
at settling things as much as you can between Israel
and Arab countries. He was very good in the first term.
So he and Witkoff are a good team. They do
in the negotiating Israel, Hamas that sort of. But they're
(01:35):
now working on peace in Ukraine, settling that war. Looks
like they got a ways to go. But they had
a big meeting with Putin yesterday. Putin always, always, always
will keep you waiting. Don't you hate people that are
always late for something. They're just scatterbrain, their flaky. They're late,
(01:56):
you're waiting for them forty minutes. And it's different with Putin. Deliberate.
It's deliberate. It's to put you in your place. It's
psychological warfare. He does, even if it's the most important
international meeting, the president's envoys are coming from the He'll
keep you waiting deliberately. It's to just psyche you out.
(02:16):
Now it doesn't work because if you're wi cough and
you're Jared. You know he does this all the time.
You know he's going to keep you waiting an hour
and a half. It's just normal. This is what he does.
It's not personally. He does it to everybody. So they
knew and they went and just had a nice lunch.
What they waited for the guy, and then he shows up.
You see the picture of him at the big negotiating table.
(02:39):
This is in Russia, Moscow. It's a white table and no, no,
didn't look right. It looked like a table Betty Crocker
would have even arouse. It's just something not very tough
about it. But they're all sitting around the table. And
at twelve thirty that began the conversation, Now, what you
want to talk to Putin? Who wants to talk to Putin?
(03:02):
Do you look at that guy when you see the video,
you say to yourself, yeah, I love to sit down
with that guy. It looks like the most unpleasant thing
you could do is talk to this guy. But they
sat down with him at twelve thirty and the meeting,
which was not very successful. They were not able to
come to agreement. In fact, there was much disagreement. They
didn't make much progress. It made little progress, but not much.
(03:24):
The meeting lasted five hours, five hours. How the hell
did these guys do it? If I were you know,
Steve Whitcoff is a wealthy guy, a big successful builder.
It does all kinds of work all over America, New York,
Palm Beach, Miami's Building building. To who that wants to
(03:45):
give all that up and go sit in a room
with Putin for five hours? Five hours of talking to Putin?
You can't even talk right to him. He's got an interpreter.
You know, I think he speaks English, but he pretends
he doesn't. Uses the interpreter. It gives him extra time
to hear your question and think of an answer. But
so wit Coffin, Jared Kushner had to bring their own interpreter.
(04:07):
So when you see all these people at the table,
a couple of them are interpreters. A couple of them
are aids to Putin. So who the hell would want
to do this? Sit there and talk to Putin for
five hours? And be honest, you got a choice. You
have to do one or two things. You're gonna have
(04:27):
a delayed flight and you'll have to sit at the
gate for three hours or talk to Putin for five hours,
Which would you choose? Of course, you sit at the gate.
I can look at my phone, I can watch movies.
I can listen to podcasts. There'll be a snack bar there.
You could do a lot of who the hell wants
I talked to Putin for five hours, so there were
like twenty eight points. Putin was okay with two or
(04:49):
three of them, but there were a lot of them.
He said, we just can't compromise on it. But they're
they're making some progress and they'll eventually get this done eventually. Now,
Trump will not go to the meeting until they're close.
And that's why you use Witcoffin Jarrett. You don't embarrass
(05:11):
yourself by coming out empty handed five times in a row.
So you'll let these guys get it very, very very close,
and then you show up Cabinet meeting yesterday. It was
pretty interesting, the war crimes hoax. All these guys like
check Schumer trying to make it Suddenly they're war crime experts.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
If Trump were to order an attack on land, that
would be an act of war and Congress would invoke
the War Powers Act. It's Congress's prerogative to go to war,
and I hope Republicans will defend that role.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
This is just Schumer, a big blowharder, doesn't know what
he's talking about. Obama was famous for drone strikes on land,
blowing up people all over the place, Afghanistan or Iraq wherever,
hundreds of hundreds, hundreds of drone strikes. Do you know
when they did the Osama bin Laden raid, they were
going to go into his house and get him. You know,
(06:14):
the actual orders from Obama were to shoot him and
kill him. And this was all discussed ahead of time. Well,
what if he surrenders. They were told to shoot him
and kill him. They were given the order not to
take him alive. Now, if he comes out of his
bedroom and you're there, you could say, well I shot
(06:35):
because I didn't he might have a bomb on him.
So it actually was discussed, what if he comes out
of his bedroom totally naked. We know he can't possibly
have a weapon or a bomb on him. They were
told to shoot him and kill him. They were ordered
not to take him alive. Now I imagine the reason for
that order is they didn't want to get him alive
(06:55):
and bring him back here because they'd have to try him,
and that trial would have been a security nightmare, all
kinds of controversies. They were told, make sure you kill
them no matter what. So even if he's asleep and
he doesn't wake up, you got to shoot him. So
but again, that's war. That's what you do in a war.
You shoot to kill all the time. And even a
(07:19):
police shooting a mob hit whatever it is, you don't
fire one bullet and say, well, huh, the guy survived.
How about that. No, you shoot a bunch of shots
and make sure they're dead. So this war crime hoax,
they'll try it for another couple of weeks. It'll go nowhere.
Then they'll give up. Big cabinet meeting yesterday the CNN
CNN if anybody still watches that, their big thing was
(07:41):
fact checking the cabinet meeting. The CNN fact chucker checker.
Trump told thirteen whoppers in the cabinet unbelievable lies that
he told. Let's see what the thirteen are. He claimed
that the tariffs have brought in eighteen trillion dollars, All right,
right about that? That's Trump. They brought in like eight trillion.
(08:03):
But you know Trump, if it's eight trillion. I'll tell
you it's eighteen trillion. If it was eighteen trillion, he
would have told you it was thirty trillion. All right.
They got him on that, But he's right in what
he's saying. He's absolutely correct. The tariffs have brought in
a fortune. He's exaggerating the number. He claimed grocery prices
are down. They're up two point seven percent year over year.
(08:24):
That's actually a bit of a lie because their overall
grocery prices are down. There are certain things that have
gone up, way up, and that's brought the whole average up.
But overall grocery prices are down. So they're wrong about
that one. Well, technically they might be right, but they're
(08:44):
misleading you. He claimed these cutting prescription drug prices by
five hundred to nine hundred percent. These numbers make no
mathematical sense. That be below zero, it'd be like less
than zero. Okay, they got him on that. But he
has brought the prices of drugs down. He's exaggerating the
number again, but that's him, the salesman. He does that.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
He claimed every military attack on the drug smuggling boat
saves an average of twenty five thousand lives. Experts say
this number makes no sense. Well, first of all, they're
not you know, at CNN they find the dumbest, worst,
slanted or biased or totally fabricating accident. Plenty of people's
lives were saved by getting rid of the fentanyl and
(09:30):
the cocaine. Obviously, lives were saved blown up these drug boats. Okay,
it might not be twenty five thousand. How would you
know exactly how many lives are saved per boat? But
he's absolutely right, And he's saying, you're just quibbling about
the he's exaggerating numbers. Yeah, that could be. Uh, what else?
He has stopped inflation in its tracks? Okay, there's still
(09:53):
He has brought inflation down. It was nine percent at
one point under Biden, Biden's average inflation for the four
years five point two percent. It's now three percent and dropping.
So he clearly has brought it down, stopped it dead
in his tracks. Okay, maybe that's too much. These are
the whoppers of claiming. He told he claimed he inherited
the worst inflation of all time. All right, it was
(10:17):
horrifying under Biden. Nine percent, horrifying number, horrifying. But they're
arguing there that's not the all time high. It was
higher somewhere in the history of Amyria. Okay, that could be.
But he's still right about what he's saying. He's gotten
it right. You're just talking about exaggeration. He claimed the
end of eight wars. Well, the list includes two wars
(10:39):
that weren't actually wars. Listen, he's great at ending these wars.
He can't argue they go on and on. It's basically
all the same thing. Uh, let's see, yeah, they're all
the same thing. He's absolutely right everything he's saying. He's
just if you wanted to argue that he's exaggerating, yeah,
you could, of course he is. Yesterday, Mom, Donnie met
(10:59):
with Eric Adams. They had a big meeting at City Hall.
These two guys can't stand each other. It was sort
of cordial. Uh, Mom, Donnie was trying you know. I
give him credit this, Mom, Donnie. He always tries to
say something nice. He tries to be positive. He meets
with Trump, it's very positive. He can't stand Adam. They
don't get along, but he leaves and tries to praise
(11:20):
him somehow.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I've appreciated the mayor's work on city yes. I also
think the trash containerization has been a good step forward
in the way in which we handle garbage across the city.
And these are things that I deserve, that New Yorkers
deserve to have be built on as opposed to be discarded.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Okay, the guy's mayor of New York for four years,
four years? What can you praise him? Mind? I got
to come up with something he did rail four years?
What did he do? Reight? Ah, the trash containerization. What
the that's where they put the new trash can with
a lid that closes. This is what he did with
trash cans have lids that closes. They say the number
(11:55):
of rats are down because it's in the airtight trash
contaentl Okay, that's very good, But this is your main
accomplishment of four years. Not good? How did you go
with this? It went well.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I appreciated the conversation that I had with Mayor Adams
and his team, and we focused on how to make
this as smooth as possible of a transition and how
to continue to serve yours. You're right, Look, I think
it is possible to be fair and honest in your
assessment of an administration. I've obviously made my critiques clear.
I also think that there are good things that this
administration has done. I think these are the two examples
(12:26):
on City of Yes and containerization. And I also have
appreciated the work the Commissioner Tish has done in reducing
crime across the five boroughs. And that's a critical part
of why I decided to retain him.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Oh, there you go. So when you think back on
Adams and his legacy, it's that trash can containerization.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
What a program City of Yes? What is that? I
don't know, some program he did. Hey, here's the big question.
Does Mom Donnie move into Gracie Mansion? You don't have to,
you know, Bloomberg didn't. Of course. Now in the case
of Bloomberg, he has two massive talent is cut together
to become one enormous townhouse. Gracie Mansion looks like a
(13:06):
ghetto apartment, looks like a housing project apartment compared to
his house. So he never left his house. He stayed
in his house, and Ed Kotch had a really nice
apartment in Greenwich Village. He would go back there every weekend.
He'd like to stay there. So Mom Donnie lives in
Brooklyn in an apartment. No not, I think he lives
in Long Island City or a story of somewhere like
(13:27):
a queen's. But will he move into Gracie Mansion.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
That's the decision I haven't yet made. The meeting came
about as just part of a typical transition, a transition
where we're looking to have a conversation with the current
mayor about what it looks like to have a smooth
transfer between this administration and the next administration. I appreciated
the work of his staff and ensuring that it continues
to be smooth.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
So yeah, he said he has thought of staying in
his apartment. He has a massive security detail now as
the incoming mayor, a full security detail. But they're saying
you can't live in the apartment anymore because it's in
an apartment building. It'd be too hard to guard you
in that apartment building, and if we could, it'd be
(14:07):
totally disruptive to everybody else coming and going out of
that building. So he's probably gonna have to leave and
go to Gracie Mansion. Hey, you know what was the
most interesting thing. This was not at this press conference,
but last night, he goes on New York One, on
that Errol Lewis show. Errol Lewis, very nice guy, the
most slanted biased media person in the world, but a
(14:30):
nice guy. And he said something interesting on that show.
But because it's New York One, three people saw it,
so you probably never heard about this. This is why
you never don't hear about this. He revealed on the
show that he and Trump still talk after that meeting
at the White House. They've spoken to each other on
the phone a few times. They kept in touch. It's fascinating.
(14:50):
In fact, after the shooting of the National Guards woman mom,
Donnie said he called Trump to express his sympathies for
that woman, and they had talked about He said, they've
talked a few times. Very interesting stuff. Hey, in New Jersey,
you know McGreevy, remember Governor McGreevy, a nice guy left
in a bit of a scandal. But he lost last
(15:12):
night to this guy Solomon. So McGreevy, like Cuomo, thought
he could make some quote a comeback, but apparently not.
He lost, and he you know, that's the end of
him politically. I want to say from my heart, I
congratulate counselmen now Mayor elect James Solomon. Yeah. Mcgreevy's a
good guy, but you know it's it's the wrong kind
(15:33):
of democrat. The Democrats of today hate the old establishment democrats. Uh,
they like these Trump haters. This Solomon d of the
issue is clear.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
The work begins tonight, and the work and we have
to do is maybe a Jersey City affordable. And so
I say tonight and cale Jersey City.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
So that's how this guy won. If you're today's Democrat,
just yell affordability, affordability, affordability. Nobody knows what that all.
It means, afford a bill, Christmas Jersey City, it's all
Wall Street guy's hedge fund pee.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yah.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Certain places they're always going to be expensive. You know,
if you move to Beverly Hills, it's not that affordable.
So if you go to the wealthiest place in the
world in the middle of Manhattan, the Upper East Side,
it's very expensive. So you can go there and yell
about affordability. But there's going to be places that are expensive.
So hey, tonight the tree lighting. It's the Christmas season.
(16:25):
If you're looking for Christmas gifts, books, it's a good idea.
It's the easiest thing to do. You just get a
book for some of that new Johnny Carson book called
Love Johnny Carson. We've had the author on that's a
great Christmas gift bill O'Reilly If you go to his
bill O'Reilly dot com. There's some very good deals there.
You didn't get the whole The Killing series, the Confronting series,
(16:47):
excellent stuff. Hey, our friend Ann Margaret Caroza, she does
the show here on the weekends. Very fine attorney specializes
in wealth estate planning, got over twenty thousand clients. But
Margaret Caroza excellent new book out, The Smart Woman's Guide
to Building and Protecting Wealth, The Laws of Your Money,
(17:08):
So especially for women if you're looking to create, safeguard
or share wealth. If you want a really good book
on that, get her latest books up on Amazon. And
Margaret Caroza. Just go to Amazon, type her name and oh,
you know what else is a great book. Great gift too.
Eric Trump's book. Eric Trump just came out with a
book called Under Siege's actually number one on Amazon. It
(17:31):
is a riveting book about what the family went through. Hey,
we'll take some calls next eight hundred three to two,
one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten
Here's more marks alone on seven to ten Wash. Well,
so what it is? What's the day today? December third?
It's only December third. I walk in the lobby. There's
a Christmas tree in the lobby of the building. There's
a wreath, there's a come up here to the sixth floor.
(00:22):

He has stopped inflation in its tracks? Okay, there's still
(09:53):
He has brought inflation down. It was nine percent at
one point under Biden, Biden's average inflation for the four
years five point two percent. It's now three percent and dropping.
So he clearly has brought it down, stopped it dead
in his tracks. Okay, maybe that's too much. These are
the whoppers of claiming. He told he claimed he inherited
the worst inflation of all time. All right, it was
(10:17):
horrifying under Biden. Nine percent, horrifying number, horrifying. But they're
arguing there that's not the all time high. It was
higher somewhere in the history of Amyria. Okay, that could be.
But he's still right about what he's saying. He's gotten
it right. You're just talking about exaggeration. He claimed the
end of eight wars. Well, the list includes two wars
(10:39):
that weren't actually wars. Listen, he's great at ending these wars.
He can't argue they go on and on. It's basically
all the same thing. Uh, let's see, yeah, they're all
the same thing. He's absolutely right everything he's saying. He's
just if you wanted to argue that he's exaggerating, yeah,
you could, of course he is. Yesterday, Mom, Donnie met
(10:59):
with Eric Adams. They had a big meeting at City Hall.
These two guys can't stand each other. It was sort
of cordial. Uh, Mom, Donnie was trying you know. I
give him credit this, Mom, Donnie. He always tries to
say something nice. He tries to be positive. He meets
with Trump, it's very positive. He can't stand Adam. They
don't get along, but he leaves and tries to praise
(11:20):
him somehow.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I've appreciated the mayor's work on city yes. I also
think the trash containerization has been a good step forward
in the way in which we handle garbage across the city.
And these are things that I deserve, that New Yorkers
deserve to have be built on as opposed to be discarded.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Okay, the guy's mayor of New York for four years,
four years? What can you praise him? Mind? I got
to come up with something he did rail four years?
What did he do? Reight? Ah, the trash containerization. What
the that's where they put the new trash can with
a lid that closes. This is what he did with
trash cans have lids that closes. They say the number
(11:55):
of rats are down because it's in the airtight trash
contaentl Okay, that's very good, But this is your main
accomplishment of four years. Not good? How did you go
with this? It went well.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I appreciated the conversation that I had with Mayor Adams
and his team, and we focused on how to make
this as smooth as possible of a transition and how
to continue to serve yours. You're right, Look, I think
it is possible to be fair and honest in your
assessment of an administration. I've obviously made my critiques clear.
I also think that there are good things that this
administration has done. I think these are the two examples
(12:26):
on City of Yes and containerization. And I also have
appreciated the work the Commissioner Tish has done in reducing
crime across the five boroughs. And that's a critical part
of why I decided to retain him.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Oh, there you go. So when you think back on
Adams and his legacy, it's that trash can containerization.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
What a program City of Yes? What is that? I
don't know, some program he did. Hey, here's the big question.
Does Mom Donnie move into Gracie Mansion? You don't have to,
you know, Bloomberg didn't. Of course. Now in the case
of Bloomberg, he has two massive talent is cut together
to become one enormous townhouse. Gracie Mansion looks like a
(13:06):
ghetto apartment, looks like a housing project apartment compared to
his house. So he never left his house. He stayed
in his house, and Ed Kotch had a really nice
apartment in Greenwich Village. He would go back there every weekend.
He'd like to stay there. So Mom Donnie lives in
Brooklyn in an apartment. No not, I think he lives
in Long Island City or a story of somewhere like
(13:27):
a queen's. But will he move into Gracie Mansion.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
That's the decision I haven't yet made. The meeting came
about as just part of a typical transition, a transition
where we're looking to have a conversation with the current
mayor about what it looks like to have a smooth
transfer between this administration and the next administration. I appreciated
the work of his staff and ensuring that it continues
to be smooth.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
So yeah, he said he has thought of staying in
his apartment. He has a massive security detail now as
the incoming mayor, a full security detail. But they're saying
you can't live in the apartment anymore because it's in
an apartment building. It'd be too hard to guard you
in that apartment building, and if we could, it'd be
(14:07):
totally disruptive to everybody else coming and going out of
that building. So he's probably gonna have to leave and
go to Gracie Mansion. Hey, you know what was the
most interesting thing. This was not at this press conference,
but last night, he goes on New York One, on
that Errol Lewis show. Errol Lewis, very nice guy, the
most slanted biased media person in the world, but a
(14:30):
nice guy. And he said something interesting on that show.
But because it's New York One, three people saw it,
so you probably never heard about this. This is why
you never don't hear about this. He revealed on the
show that he and Trump still talk after that meeting
at the White House. They've spoken to each other on
the phone a few times. They kept in touch. It's fascinating.
(14:50):
In fact, after the shooting of the National Guards woman mom,
Donnie said he called Trump to express his sympathies for
that woman, and they had talked about He said, they've
talked a few times. Very interesting stuff. Hey, in New Jersey,
you know McGreevy, remember Governor McGreevy, a nice guy left
in a bit of a scandal. But he lost last
(15:12):
night to this guy Solomon. So McGreevy, like Cuomo, thought
he could make some quote a comeback, but apparently not.
He lost, and he you know, that's the end of
him politically. I want to say from my heart, I
congratulate counselmen now Mayor elect James Solomon. Yeah. Mcgreevy's a
good guy, but you know it's it's the wrong kind
(15:33):
of democrat. The Democrats of today hate the old establishment democrats. Uh,
they like these Trump haters. This Solomon d of the
issue is clear.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
The work begins tonight, and the work and we have
to do is maybe a Jersey City affordable. And so
I say tonight and cale Jersey City.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
So that's how this guy won. If you're today's Democrat,
just yell affordability, affordability, affordability. Nobody knows what that all.
It means, afford a bill, Christmas Jersey City, it's all
Wall Street guy's hedge fund pee.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yah.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Certain places they're always going to be expensive. You know,
if you move to Beverly Hills, it's not that affordable.
So if you go to the wealthiest place in the
world in the middle of Manhattan, the Upper East Side,
it's very expensive. So you can go there and yell
about affordability. But there's going to be places that are expensive.
So hey, tonight the tree lighting. It's the Christmas season.
(16:25):
If you're looking for Christmas gifts, books, it's a good idea.
It's the easiest thing to do. You just get a
book for some of that new Johnny Carson book called
Love Johnny Carson. We've had the author on that's a
great Christmas gift bill O'Reilly If you go to his
bill O'Reilly dot com. There's some very good deals there.
You didn't get the whole The Killing series, the Confronting series,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
