Mark's 11am Monologue.

The so-called “Fake News” outlets-such as MSNOW, CNN, and others- continue to emphasize that if Lawyer George Conway wins, President Trump may face significant challenges and opposition from Conway. Additionally, many celebrities were reportedly stranded in South America during the Maduro raid while trying to return to the United States.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Back to Marsillon, or well, what's the day today, Tuesday.
I've already went out. I'm worn out already. I've been
off for a couple of weeks. This is exhausting. Two
days in a row of this, this is you see. Yeah,
you get out of shape, you know you. Yeah, But

(00:21):
we'll get back into it five days a week. We
got lots to get to this hour. Actually, I got
thousands and thousands of pages of stuff here that I
wanted to talk about that I never got to mention.
But we'll get to it all before the week is over.
We try to be like a pipeline to the real story.
You know, if you're watching fake news, you get bombarded
with all this nonsense. The CBS Evening News, as we

(00:45):
mentioned yesterday, it's getting a little better. They're cleaning up
their act a little. It's still partisan, but not as
much as the other networks. They're cleaning it up. They're
getting a little more heading towards the center. They'll never
quite get there, but they're getting closer to it. A
big mix up yesterday on the CBS Evening News. It
was great to watch. They didn't seem to know what

(01:06):
story they were going to next the guy finished the
Maduro story. The new anchor, good looking guy. I can't
remember his name. I think they're trying to copy David Muwer.
That's the most successful evening newscasts in fact, in many weeks,
it's the number one show in all the television and
even primetime. So I think they're looking for that formula.

(01:26):
Real good looking, a mannequin sort of a guy, keep
the graphics, everything moving real fast. That's what they're going
to try. So they finished the story Maduro, and then
he thought they were going to the Mark Kelly story,
but they put up a different graphic and then he
stops right on the eggs. Wait a minute, which story
were we on? And they're talking to him in his
earphone and everybody's getting confused. They tell him which story.

(01:49):
He goes to that, but the graphics still come up
something else. So but he handled it pretty well. He
handled it pretty well, he said, you first week, everything's
going crazy, but that's okay. It actually went viral that clip.
It's pretty good actually, because they may have even done
it deliberately, because it gets a lot of attention that
there's a new anchor that when people see a clip

(02:11):
like that, everywhere. It's good promotion. It's better than any
advertising you could buy. But we try to bring you
the straight story, like here's the real facts, here's what's
really going on. Here's what they don't tell you in
fake news. They just leave a lot of stuff out,
you know, like when it comes to Maduro, they don't
tell you. You know, when Schumer says how this is the

(02:32):
most outrageous, illegal, most crazy thing anybody's ever done, they
never point out on any of these fake newscasts that
for ten years Schumer has been calling for this. Every Democrat, Pelosi, Schumer,
Elizabeth Warren, everybody can name. They've been yelling and screaming
to get rid of Maduro, to take them out, to
remove all screaming about it. And they're just children. They're

(02:56):
just childish. Now that it happened, they act like they
hate it. Then they make up all the stuff it's
a violation of international law. They never tell you there's
no such thing anywhere as any international law that the
United States has to follow international law. Where is this
international law coming from? And then they tell you the
War Powers Act. This has nothing to do with the

(03:16):
War Powers Act. If you wanted to go to war.
First of all, you know, if you went to war,
you don't have to follow the War Powers Act. But
that's really what it's for. If you decided to go
to war with the country. It doesn't apply to quick
two hour military operations. It has nothing to do with that.
You don't need any approval. Here's Mike Johnson.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Despite the claims by some of my colleagues, under the
War Powers Act, there is no requirement for prior congressional
approval or prior notification. And in fact, in this case,
the intelligence was so sensitive the conditions had to be perfect.
There was no predetermination of when exactly it would occur.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, it's a top secret. You you're gonna trust that
with Hakeem Jeffries. And then this Schumer, you know, with
his new glasses, it gets all bent out of shape.
You see the glasses fogging up. He gets mad.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
I did not receive any assurances that we would not
try to do the same thing in other countries. And
in conclusion, when the United States engages in this kind
of regime change and so called nation building, it always
ends up hurting the United States.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Well, then why were you calling for it for ten years?
For ten years you've been demanding it. I give credit
to CNN. They had that awful Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy
on last night, who's such a hypocrite on this that
they actually on CNN they actually confronted him with it.
They put up his statement from like a year ago
calling for the immediate capture and the ouster of Maduro.

(04:47):
It was such a flip flop. They even confronted him
about it, and he didn't know what the hell does
say getting rid of Maduro? It's a great thing. Here's
Stephen Miller.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
And as a result of that cooperation, the people of
Venezbela are going to become richer than they ever have before. Course,
the United States is gonna benefit from this massively in
terms of economic security and military cooperation kind of narcotics,
counter terrorism, and every other dimension of our security.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Again, I don't know what the hell he was doing
with drugs. Why wouldn't Maduro get involved with drugs. He's
sitting on twenty percent of the world's oil. Is seventeen
trillion dollars worth of oil right under the ground there.
All you'd do is take it out, and you could
be the whole country with all that oil they could
all be Saudi princes, they could all be oligarchs, everybody
in the country. It would look like a Dubai. It's

(05:34):
easy to do. Just fix the infrastructure and start pumping
the oil. There's three hundred billion barrels there underneath. So
the other thing the fake news does, besides leaving out
ninety percent of the story so you don't get the
full picture, they create these myths, these narratives. You know,

(05:55):
like Marjorie Taylor Green had a big fight with Trump,
not that he had much to do with her. I mean,
met her a couple of times, but he had really
no connection with her. Once in a while they be
together at some event or something, but very little connection
to Marjorie Tayler Green. She got mad, they got no
fight about something. She anyway, she quit, She's leaving. And
you'll see these stories all over fake news. MAGA torn apart.

(06:19):
There's a rift in MAGA. All in Maga's torn apart
by this nobody in MAGA. There are some people like
Marjorie Taylor Green, but it's a bunch of people away
over there, has nothing to do with MAGA. It's like
Steve Bannon will criticize Trump. Remember Steve Bannon. He's still around,
but you'll see Civil War and Mega. Steve Bannon has

(06:40):
nothing to do with the most of MAGA. If you
go in the cabinet room with Rubio and Scott Bessant
and Doug Bergham, they're not they're not thinking about Steve Bannon,
they're not worried about it. Nobody cares. It's like this guy,
George Conway. You remember George Conway was a thing called

(07:01):
the Lincoln Project. You remember how he went after Trump.
He had been married to the great Kelly Anne Conway,
but then they broke up when he went insane literally,
insane politically, and he's been attacking Trump. Remember that Lincoln
Project where they really went after him, all kinds of
made up nonsense. So now Conway is coming to New York.

(07:22):
He's gonna run for the seat. Is it Jerry Nadler's seat.
Jerry Nadler's not running for reelection. He's decided to leave
Congress and just devote full time to eating. So a
Conway will run for the seat. Now he doesn't live here.
He lives in Maryland. He used to live here, I
don't know, ten years ago, fifteen years he lived here,

(07:44):
but he's been living in Maryland's. I don't know how
he run for this seat, but he's gonna do it.
So if you watch the fake news, the MS, Now
Morning Joe, fake stuff, all they keep talking about is
if George Conway wins, it'll be an incredible thorn in
the side of Donald Trump. He'll be going after Donald Trump.
It'll be an incredible at tax on Donald. No again,

(08:06):
nobody in that cabinet room cares about George Conway. If
you mentioned the name, they'd look at you. You'd have
to describe him for two minutes before they remember who
the hell he is. No matter how much he attacks him,
it can't be any more than he's already been attacking him.
And it doesn't mean anything to them now. And let's
say he had that congressional seat and used it to
attack Trump, Well, it'd be the same thing as Nadler.

(08:26):
Nobody was a bigger critic than Nadler. It means absolutely nothing,
nothing to Donald Trump or MAGA or anything. But they
build it up like it's some big problem. And then
there's this pole that they released today, one of those aps.
Something Reuter is some fake news poll about seventy five

(08:47):
percent of America is not happy with capturing Maduro. They're
against it. Well, if you look into the metrics of
the pole, it's totally rigged, totally slanted. The question is
all wrong. They used the wrong group, the wrong the
wrong this the wrong time. And it was before anybody
knew anything about it was as soon as it happened

(09:09):
a couple days later. Everybody's had it explained to them
a million different ways. So if you did a real
poll with the right demographics and the right metrics right now,
you'd get a whole different reading. Hey, a lot of
celebrities got stranded because of the Maduro raid. When they
did that operation down there in South America, they closed

(09:32):
the airspace for a long distance because they didn't know
where those planes would have to go and get out.
They closed airspace. And this was the final days of
the Christmas break, the weekend Saturday and Sunday. So when
they closed the airspace, a lot of people could not
get off there. You know, some people go to these
crazy islands down there, like Saint Bart's and all those places.

(09:55):
So all these celebrities stranded, they could not get out,
airspace closed, their planes couldn't take off, though. They're all
yelling and screaming and complaining. Imagine complaining. Imagine you're a
millionaire celebrity. You're complaining that you had to spend an
extra two days at Saint Bart's. This is a big,
big problem to them, but they all got out eventually.

(10:18):
Speaking of celebrities, too many documentaries, there's too many documentaries.
There's one. I forgot to tell you about this, but
you should watch this. You know. Fox Nation is a Fox,
a twentieth century Fox. They started this. It's their streaming service.
It's called Fox Nation. It's got a lot of great shows.
But they just came out with the Sinatra documentary. I

(10:39):
already told you about this about four or five months ago.
Maybe it was six months ago. I'm in the documentary,
but that's when they were filming the whole thing. But
it's called Sinatra. What's it called Echoes of an Icon?
I'm not crazy about the title. But it's a great documentary.
It's two parts, two hours, and then there's an additional

(11:01):
a bunch of segments that you can watch. But it's
phenomenal and they spent a fortune on it because they
have all the rare clips and recordings and film clips,
tv clips. You gotta pay to use all these clips,
so they spend a lot of money. But it's on
Fox Nation. Fox Nation that you have to have a subscription,
but they're pretty cheap the subscriptions to Fox Nation, and

(11:24):
you'll love it. They got a lot of great programs.
But sign up for Fox Nation and then search for
Sinatra echoes of an icon Sinatra. Just type in Sinatra
and this documentary will come out. I'm in it. I'm
all through it, and there are a lot of people are
in it. But when it first was released, I just
wanted to watch it for a few minutes because I
just want to see what I look like in it.
I mean, to be honest, I could say they spent

(11:46):
a lot of money lighting the thing, in the set
and the whole thing. They just want to see how
it looked. So I was just gonna watch for five
minutes just to see if I look bad, I look good.
And it was just watch for five minutes. I ended
up watching the whole two hours. I couldn't stop it.
It's got all kinds of rare footage, all kinds of stuff.
You'll love it. So it's on Fox Nation now. The

(12:08):
other thing is there's too many of these documentaries, the
Chevy Chase documentary. Everybody's talking about the Chevy Chase doc
I like Chevy Chase, but do you really want to
spend two hours studying this guy's life. I mean, I'd
like to watch a movie of his or something like that,
or an old Saturday Night live clip, but do you
really need to know everything about this guy? And there's
nothing that interesting. The part everybody's talking about is how

(12:31):
how Baddy could be. He yelled at the director. She
was a woman, and he said something about you're not
que he yelled at her. I hate to break it
to you, this goes on all the time in movies,
in broadcasting, in television. All of your favorite stars, even
the nicest people in the world, who are really nice
people to work with, every so often something goes wrong
and they start yelling at somebody. Is he in the

(12:54):
control room? You've been doing this a long time. You've
had a host yell at you, right, it happens. There's
some guys that aren't so nice, you know, Like I
miss It was just cursing and screaming and yelling every break,
every time there was a commercial you'd yell at everybody.
I mean, just always yelling. Bob Grant could be a
pain in the neck to be around. I'm trying to

(13:17):
think I'm editing myself. But even the really nice guys,
the nicest people in broadcasting, they're the finest people you
could ever know. They're nice to everybody, they're generous, warm.
Once in a while, something goes wrong on a show
and they'll start yelling at somebody. It happens in everybody, everybody.

(13:39):
It happens in every TV studio, in the nicest house,
but something goes wrong. Sometimes you know, you're sitting there
in the green room and all of a sudden you
hear some yelling something when somebody screwed up something. Those
that's yelling. It goes out all the time. So but
they make it. They make things up in these documentaries
that aren't that important. They build them up, and some

(13:59):
of them because if they're not that interesting, you've got
to make up some stuff like this to make it
more interesting. Hey, Jimmy Kimmel is back, But not really,
not really. They know the show stinks, they know nobody's
watching it. The network wants to get rid of them.
They just renewed it for one year, which is the
biggest insult in the world. Standard renewal, standard new contract

(14:22):
is five years. You get a five year contract. Now,
there's some people, some hosts that don't like five year
contracts because it favors the company. They lock in for
five years at a certain price. So some people like
three year contracts that we can keep getting more rass.
But there's no such thing as a If you get
a one year extension means they have no faith in

(14:43):
you at all, and it most likely means they're going
to get rid of you, because if it's only a
one year extension, they don't mind paying that off. So
that was the biggest insult to Kimmel. And now that
he's back, they're cutting back on stuff like you know
they have a musical act every night, Well they're now
cutting down to like one night a week because it's
expensive to do the musical act. It costs more money

(15:05):
production wise than everything. And prediction they'll cut back on
live shows. They've already done that with the Tonight Show, Colbert.
You know, they're no longer five nights a week. They
do like four shows a week and run a rerun
on the fifth night, so expect that with Kim Well,
expect these shows to go to three nights a week
and two reruns per week. Hey, we'll take some calls next.

(15:29):
Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
the number. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven
ten is the number. Hey, Wegman's getting a lot of flak.
They've announced it in New York. They're collecting biometric data.
You know, when you walk in the store, they're scanning
your face, they're scanning your eyeballs. I guess a lot

(15:50):
of stories do this, but for some reason in New York,
Wegmans is announced they're saving this data and a lot
of people aren't going to shop there right now. I'm
not chopping there anymore because I don't know. Let's say
at Wegman's they had a picture of your face and
your eyeballs. How damaging is this? What would you even
be worried about? The people that I'm never going in
there again are the same people that put their face

(16:12):
in their eyeballs up on Instagram ten times a day.
But nobody can figure out why they're doing it. They
said it's a security thing to identify any possible threats.
To I don't even know what that means, and that
would apply to every business and every store in New York.
But they don't need to do it. They haven't reversed
it yet. They're getting a lot of flack. I guess

(16:33):
they're waiting to see how much of a drop in
traffic they get as a result, and why just Manhattan.
It's a strange thing, but I think deep time, you're
going to turn out they're collecting this data because it's
going to be valuable commercially somewhere in the future. You know,
right now, every business been collecting your email, your cell

(16:55):
phone number. That way they can bobarde you with ads
or something. This facial record ignition stuff. Somewhere in the future,
it's going to be used for marketing or spam or
that kind of stuff. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next
eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the
nin
