Wow. You had a special opening made just for me. Oh, my. It's Marc Simone. Normally on our big flagship here in New York, 710W O R where you can hear me on iHeart or the iHeart app. Now buck and Clay are away because this is that week. Everybody's away. Everybody on television, everybody on radio, put on any network now everybody's gone. Everybody, including me. I'm not doing my own show this week. I'm on vacation. It's a long vacation. It's like 11 days and to be honest, it's too long a vacation. So I'm here because I'm taking a vacation from the vacation. It's already five days. So I'll come back and work today, then back on vacation. We got a lot to get to the end of the year. It's the end of 2024. Boy, a lot happened this year. We'll go over some of it. And now that Biden is leaving, by the way, he's. What a shock. He's on vacation. He's in St. Croix. You know, what's the difference with a guy in his mental condition? You take him anywhere. You could take him out in the lawn and tell him it's St. Croix. He doesn't know where he is. But he set an all time record as president with this vacation. This is now 570 days of vacation. 40% of the time he was in the White House, he was on vacation. Remember when Trump played golf, Biden would make fun of him, laugh at him playing golf, you know, you know, one thing about golf, it's about four hours. And the way Trump plays, it's about two hours. And on many days it's like an hour and a half. So it's just basically going to the gym for him. He's not a gym guy, but he'll just run out in the golf course, play for an hour and a half, two hours and then back to work. And usually, if you notice the pictures of him on the golf course, he's kind of working there because he's got somebody, you know, some, somebody needs to do business with out there. So really not a lot of vacation. You, you know, he could argue how much time he spent at Mar A Lago, but look at what goes on at Mar A Lago. He's, he's got everybody down there. There's Elon Musk and there's Howard Lutnick. And there's half the cabinet and they're, they're working while they're down there with Biden. It's a real vacation. In other words, he's gone 570 days in one administration. That is a record. That's like Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak. That's a record nobody will ever break. 570 days on vacation in one term. Now after he leaves and the Trump people come in there and get access to stuff I would imagine right now more electricity is being used right now in Washington by all the paper shredders and the deleting that's going on. They're destroying documents as we speak in the FBI, in the Department of Justice, in the Health Department. They are destroying everything they can, records they can. We absolutely know that the COVID ups will have to be uncovered slowly. You get a lot of people in there. One thing about Bobby Kennedy or Cash Patel or whoever takes over the Justice Department actually would be Pam Bondi and Secretary of Defense. These guys will really dig in and really investigate. You're going to find out all kinds of stuff. And we're now learning that it wasn't intended. We're not learning we knew it. But it's being confirmed. Intentional cover up on the virus. It was a lab leak. We're now finding out that everybody that tried to prove that get to the proof was blocked and it was covered up. It was a lab leak. Obviously, as even Jon Stewart pointed out on the Daily show, if you suddenly have an outbreak of coronavirus 19 in a certain area and a block away was a laboratory working with coronavirus number 19. Obviously that's where it came from. As he said, if Hershey, Pennsylvania started having a flood of chocolate everywhere, first place you'd suspect, the Hershey factory. So it's now being confirmed left and right. There was a cover up. It was obviously from the lab but they deliberately covered up. So they'll investigate all of this. They'll find out about the corruption in the FBI. Not the great men and women of the FBI, but the top, that eighth floor, all that management, my orcas will get investigated. Democrats in huge trouble. The whole brand in trouble. This happened in 88 after the humiliating Dukakis loss. And it took the Democrats four years to come back. It was rough because what happens is there's a civil war that breaks out in the Democratic Party. Half of them actually think they weren't far enough to the left. We've got to go more woke. That's the problem. And then the other Half said, this is ridiculous. We got to get back towards the mainstream. We got to go common sense. Usually that's the half that wins out. That's what happened last time. And they decided to go more mainstream and they found Bill Clinton and that was their guy. So they have to do that this time. They're going to have to find a Bill Clinton. Now a lot of the smartest people in the Democrat and that's party, that's not a big handful, but they know that's where it's going to end up going to the common sense mainstream Democrat. So Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro is. He's like a chameleon. He's like Clinton. He's whatever way the wind is blowing. So he's going to move to the mainstream, try to be that guy. Fetterman is trying to be that guy. Now Fetterman looked crazy. He had some medical problems in a weird debate. And then of course, anytime you show up in Congress dressed for the gym with a hoodie and shorts, you're going to look nuts in Congress. But I think that's part of his routine. I think that's the idea trying to look a little quirky and weird. But you listen to him and he's very clever. He can say something liberal, he can say something conservative. He has a way of. It's like Jon Stewart, he can take either side. Like Bill Maher, he can maneuver from side to side to side. So Fetterman, look at him to be. I'm talking about 2028. Who's going to be the Bill Clinton that helps rescue the party? Josh Shapiro, Fetterman. Now the other people in the race, they've got no shot. There's Kamala Harris, she still wants to get back in. Talks about running again. Now that may be because she's right now a total loser. Who the hell wants to hire her? But that may be just to good for business because when you're the ex vice president, you hope to get a big book deal, a Netflix deal or this deal. So you got to look like you're possibly going to be a candidate again. Gavin Newsom obviously is going to run very, very tough with your state total shambles, a total disaster. Then you're going to have that Mayor Pete, that wormy little Mayor Pete. He's going to try to be the guy, I mean a totally fake, ridiculous, silly politician. Look for Whitmere, other governors that try to jump in now before it's all over, before you get to that point in the next year or two, you're gonna see Democrats totally destroy themselves. Take New York for instance. We got this crazy congestion pricing where they're gonna charge you money to drive around. Oh, you wanna go to that neighborhood? $9. Just across 60th Street. $9. This is the latest thing that the crazy Democrats of New York have come up with. We've got a governor who's an absolute babbling idiot who doesn't know what she's doing and she's desperate. She plays along with the woke left wing legislature. The new plot, climate reparations. They're going to pass this in New York. It's going to be climate reparations. So if you were an oil company, energy company, a gas company, they can now come after you for climate change reparations. It'll be in the form of fines, which means you'll have no choice. They'll legally just fine you. They're creating a climate change super fund. Now. Why are they doing this? Because it's Democrats who completely destroy a state. They get people to leave. We've lost a few million people because of all the Democratic nonsense. And the people that leave are the wealthier people, which are the key to your tax base. So it brings down the tax revenue. It's Democrats, they overspend like crazy. You know that Florida has more people than New York and their budget is half the budget of New York. Our budget is twice Florida and we don't have as many people. So they've overspent like crazy. They need money. And this is the latest scheme, this climate change superfund. Now all this would do most likely is get every single energy producer to leave New York and just again, that's a huge tax loss. So hopefully this nightmare ends. January 20th. Donald Trump comes in and besides all the great national stuff he can do, the economy, our energy production, all that, there's stuff he can do locally. He can step in and try to stop this ridiculous climate reparations or congestion pricing or all this. So he can do that. And hopefully, if Democrats won't fight crime, if they're going to allow crime all over their streets, no bail, no jail, let the criminals loose, he can do something about that. Federal task forces can be formed to go in the cities. They have to get local police to cooperate with him. But Trump's the best negotiator there is. So if the local district attorneys are nuts and they won't put you in jail. Federal task force. That way when you're arrested for shoplifting, mugging, whatever, it's a federal arrest, you go into the federal system. Where you'll definitely go to jail. Hey, we'll take some calls to 800-282-2882 is the number. Also, we'll take a look back throughout the show at 2024. The big moments of 2024, obviously, the Trump reelection, huge event, especially when you look back at the beginning of the year, and nobody thought he was going to make it. Nobody thought he had a shot in January or February except me, except Buck and Clay. Was it on this show? Yeah, it was on this show they had me on. And I predicted he would even carry New York. All right, let me put a big asterisk on that. At the time, Biden was the candidate. So at the time the prediction was made, that was Biden versus Trump. Now, it turned out to be Kamala Harris versus Trump. And that helped bring up her, the Democratic numbers in New York. She's black. She's a woman. That, that's big in New York. They love that. And still Trump, huge increase in the amount of votes he got. It's been a long time since any Republican got that many votes in New York. So, hey, we'll take some calls. 800-282-2882.
