Ah, that's me. You can normally hear me on our big flagship here In New York, 7, 10, W O R. Or on iHeart, the iHeart app. Jeff Bezos, is he the richest? No, Elon Musk would be the richest man in the world, but Jeff Bezos up there in the top five, you know, what's he worth? 150 billion. 160 billion. He's getting married to that girlfriend of his. Word is he's going to spend 600 million on the wedding. Now, Bezos has just put out a report absolutely denying that he's not going to spend 600 million on the wedding. He said it's absolutely not true. He will spend that much on the divorce. Actually, probably more than that. You know, if you got 150 billion. He's marrying her in Colorado. He probably checked the laws. Aspen, Colorado, California's like community property. She'd be entitled to like 75 billion, you know, Isn't he. He's already divorced once. Didn't he give away like 20, 30 billion in the first divorce? So he's getting married now. If you're that wealthy, if you're worth 150 billion, how do you handle a wedding? He's got 800 people going on a. Oh, no, that's another wedding. Wait, he's got hundreds of people coming to Aspen, Colorado. The wedding will take place at Kevin Costner's ranch. And it's going to be expensive because one of the things he wants to do. What do you do with your guests when they come to Aspen to come to your wedding? You get them a hotel room? Do you get them a suite? He's renting mansions, private mansions for each person. So this is why it's going to cost a lot of money. Believe it or not, this is not the most expensive wedding in the world. Most expensive wedding in the world was. I'm not even going to try to pronounce this guy's name. Russian oligarch and Russian heiress. The wedding reportedly cost a billion dollars. A billion dollars. Now, how do you do that? Well, they had 800 people. Ceremony was in all these different places. Part of it was they took all 800 on a cruise. You have to have a cruise ship for 800 people. The wedding took three days. Now, a lot of the expense, they brought in a lot of stars to perform, like Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Katy Perry. Now, when they do these private events and they really don't want to have to go all the way to Russia or wherever. So what they do is they charge triple the normal price. If normally they get a million, 2 million a night, it's 6 million, it's 8 million, it's 10 million, literally. So you hire three of those and then apparently brought in a lot of international stars that we wouldn't know all of this to get married. And it's nothing compared to what the divorce, again will, will cost this guy. So the terrible shooting of the healthcare CEO. What's the name of the company? UnitedHealthcare. And the guy was the CEO. And the nutty assassin, Luigi Mangione, apparently got all fired up about the healthcare industry and didn't know this guy and didn't know he had never used the company, but he just decided to target him since it was the biggest healthcare company of all and he was the CEO. And we all know what happened. The assassination, and it took place right outside our window. Right over there. Right over there. In fact, he escaped on an electric bike that he had in a bike rack right in front of our doorway here at, at iheart. In fact, somebody that worked here actually went out, having to walk out then and saw him that moment. So it's a frightening situation. Now. I don't understand why. Well, I guess I do. The crazy woke Democrats have made this guy into some kind of folk hero. If you were watching Saturday Night Live, when they do that fake newscast, they were doing a all the different stories and when they said Luigi Mangione, the audience applauded. Applauded him on Saturday Night Live. They're actually worried here in New York if they try him with a crazy New York jury, that they could acquit this guy. Crazy woke left wing New York jury. You never know what'll happen. Now there's a comedian, Tim Dillon, who's on a Netflix roast, and he's already doing a routine about the CEO that was assassinated, Brian Thompson. He comes out pretending to be him, playing him, making fun of him, making fun of him. And again, it's a, you know, a left wing roast. Netflix. And the audience is laughing at this. Never seen this before. An assassin becomes some sort of folk hero. Yeah, comedians can make jokes. I mean, I've seen it happen where, as they say, too soon. But, you know, 20 years later, you could make a joke about Lee Harvey Oswald, but two weeks later, I've never seen anything like that ever. Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-282-2882 is the number you Know the economists that you see in the left wing, the crazy Democratic economist, the most famous is Paul Krugman, the New York Times, they're all wrong. They're all nuts. They're left wing kooks. That's why when they wanted to go after Trump, they could quickly come up with a list. We have 12 Nobel Prize economists who say that the Trump plan will make inflation go crazy. Well, if you look at these 12 Nobel Prize winners, they're all nuts and they're all wrong all the time. Remember, the Nobel Prize is the most corrupt award of all. It's always given to some left wing kook. Remember, the Nobel Peace Prize is as corrupt as you can get. Remember Obama got it before he even took office. Just getting elected, they gave him the Nobel Peace Prize, hadn't even taken office yet. So if you're George Bush and you end the Cold War, nothing, you don't get a Nobel Prize. If you're Ronald Reagan and you end the Cold War, nothing, You know, no peace prize. But left wing Democrat, before you even take office, you get it. So Krugman is the nuttiest of them all. He's been wrong about everything. When Trump got elected, he wrote these massive pieces saying in 2016, Trump was going to cause the biggest inflation ever. Of course, inflation went down to 1.6% and it was a great economy. Biden comes in inflation, what did it hit at the top, like 8, 9%? Just a disastrous economy. Krugman, by the way, is retiring. Thank God he's leaving. He's just written a huge piece in the New York Times about how great the Biden economy was, how it was a very, very successful economy. Of course, even Democrats don't fall for this stuff anymore. They're starting to realize they've been lied to and conned by their own news media, by cnn, by msnbc, by the New York Times. They hate Trump, but when they watch hate Trump media, they want it to at least be honest with them. Tell us the real reasons against Trump. Don't make up stuff like all these fake 2025 project and the national abortion ban. All these things that never even really existed to Donald Trump. So Krugman just lying through his teeth and it's a good way for him to go out. Lying, lying, lying. Hey, a lot of people are worried there's a secret plot in the Washington D.C. swamp, deep state democratic world. There's all sorts of rumors of a plot on how to stop Trump from taking office. Now you remember January 6th, the idea there was to disrupt the proceeding where they were going to certify the election. And that happens a lot in Congress. Remember the Kavanaugh hearings got stopped. The protesters just burst into the hearing room and, you know, complete chaos. They had to stop the proceedings. It's happened a number of times. It's not that unusual. Now, in the case of January 6, there was no insurrection. That's official now from Merrick Garland's Justice Department. They arrested anybody and everybody that came in there and they charged him with everything. Every single person that was in the Capitol. They hit him with every charge they could hit him with. And nobody was charged with insurrection. Nobody that day was charged with insurrection. So that means there was no insurrection. But they're going to try to come up with some little plot that Trump was involved in an insurrection, and they're going to use that to avoid the certification on January 6. Now the other thing you got to watch out for, you know, when it comes to rioting, protesters getting out of control, rioting, trespassing. Democrats do it all the time. Remember 2016, 2020, 275, massive riots all over America. Republicans, when they do it, they're not very good at it. They do it once in a zillion years and it's like January 6th, it wasn't much of anything. They just walked around the Capitol, got chased out in a couple of hours by the police, and that was the end of it. It's not like the Democratic riots where thousands of cops ended up in the hospital or cities burned down, or courthouses or police stations were burned the ground. Nothing like that on January 6th. But this time around, this January 6th, it's going to be the certification of Donald Trump. Who knows? Besides a plot to try to legally stop it, who knows what Democratic protesters are going to be up to? Hey, Donald Trump wants to get rid of daylight saving time. I mean, make it permanent. Not get rid of it, make it permanent. I agree with him. It's crazy right now. Like if you're in New York, it gets dark like 4:30. It's insane. Daylight saving time year round. Originally, it was created for the farmers. It had something to do with the crops. But most farming is in China now. There's not that much farming left in America and it doesn't make any sense anymore. Keep daylight savings time. Get rid of standard time. We don't. In fact, you know what? Set the clock two hours ahead and it might be, might be better. He wants to buy Greenland. Now. If you watch the fake news, all you're gonna hear is, this is Insane. Where did he come up with a crazy idea? What is he talking about, buying Greenland? It's actually a Democratic idea. Democrats have been pushing it for years. The first guy to push it was Harry Truman. Jimmy Carter tried like crazy. Just wasn't a good enough negotiator. The reason you want to buy Greenland, it's just filled with two things. Doesn't have. It's almost empty. There's no population, not much of a population, 56,000 people. It's a massive, massive piece of land. It would be the biggest amount of land we've ever purchased. And again, almost no population. Tiny, tiny population. All it is, the whole island. Oil and minerals. It's got billions and billions and billions and billions of gallons of oil. It's got a ton of minerals. It's just filled with minerals that we need. And oil we need be the greatest source of energy. Also, it's crucial as a military base for our defense. That's why China is trying to move in on Greenland. It's a crucial, crucial piece of real estate militarily, defense wise. That's why we want it. Denmark owns it. We could buy it from them. The price people have said would be, the price would be like 120 billion, which is nothing. The oil, the minerals would pay for that in a second. And if you paid 120 billion, it would retire the entire debt of Denmark. So the problem is no president has been much of a negotiator. Trump, best negotiator on earth. He's the guy that could pull this off. This will be fascinating. Now, Greenland says absolutely not for sale. Well, that's negotiating. They want to get the price up. They want to get it to 300 billion. But I think Trump will pull it off. It'll be a major accomplishment. Anyway, we'll take some calls in a minute. 800-282-2882.
