• 0:39
  Speaker 1: get to. We'll get to the Knicks, the amazing ending
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of that game, the greatest comeback in the NBA playoff history.

  Speaker 1: Then we'll get to the Knicks. We'll get to President Trump.

  Speaker 1: to Bill Gates. Bad day for him yesterday, although he
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: handled himself pretty well. We'll get to a Ran, of course,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and a whole lot more Nicks last night, and many
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: people gave up and went to sleep. Why did that
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: game run so late? Usually that ends about eleven ten
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: or so. It went a little later, a little longer.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: People have to get up early. Went to sleep and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of people. Yeah, I mean it was it
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: was bad. I mean the Knicks were getting killed for
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: most of the game. Just thought it wasn't going to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: turn out well and left and you saw some of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the celebrities in the seats were on their phone and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you might say, wow, they really lost interest around that. No,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: they were actually texting their drivers when to pick them up,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: where to pick them up. But the ending unbelievable. This
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: come from behind. The Spurs totally dominant the first half,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: third quarter, pretty good, but then they kind of decided
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to just, you know, just try to melt down the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: clock and started to coast a little and the Knicks
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: came to life, and of course the dramatic endings.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Shut. No, that's gone, that's gone, that's gone. But one
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: point toobermad Er, let's take the lead.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Oh futs Ontle seven little sex a most unbelievable moment.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: That's that's old her but great has come back and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: NBA tighof history.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: But let's pull off but Loule to come back and.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Lead at three games to London, No one god away
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: from up titled Now the amazing thing when that happened,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you they shut shot the celebrities, and that you could
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: see Taylor Swift jumping up and down dancing. They cut
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the Seinfeld arms jumping up and down, waving his arms.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: They cut to Larry David just standing there frozen, no expression.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Nothing is going to get him to look excited.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: That.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: If that didn't get him excited, nothing will. But it
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: was a great, great, great night and quite a victory
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: there at the end. And so the next game is
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Saturday night, San Antonio. That's a better place to win.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Let him win in San Antonio. Maybe maybe less rioting
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: here as a result. Now, after the game, of course,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of crazy fans. They were jumping
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: up and down, stomping on the hoods of cars and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: some mayhem. I think about fifty people were arrested for
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: some reason. These crazy the ones that were rioting and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: causing trouble. Palestinian flags. They're waving Palestinian flags. What the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: hell does this have to do with the Knicks. You
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: maybe have seen that video some influencer Seinfeld is coming
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: out and he gets right in his path, right in
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: his face with the microphone, and he said, what about
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a free Palestine? What do you think about a free Palestine?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And Seinfeld said it doesn't exist. There is no Palestine,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: so and just kept walking. For some reason, they started
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a zero in on Seinfeld about Palestine. He's getting hit
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: with this wherever he goes hit with Israel store. I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: don't know why. I mean, well, yeah, he's Jewish, but
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: so most comedians. But I don't know why for some
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: reason to keep going after Seinfeld on that, which is
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: silly because obviously he loves Israel. But he's also a
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: guy who has never, in fifty years in front of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a camera and a microphone ever had a political thought ever.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So he's certainly not going to have anything there. But
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it was an amazing, amazing night for the Knicks. So
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: tonight we're going to hit Iran. The President actually announcing it,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we will hit Iran tonight. He didn't say it was
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: definitely tonight, but he said, we'll take carg Island. That
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: is the big oil facility of Iran. That's where they
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: store the oil, that's where they export the oil. They've
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: got oil wells all over the place, but it all
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: comes to carg Island. Their entire oil industry goes through
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Carg Island. If we were to blow that up, that'd
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: be the end of the oil industry in Iran. It
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: would take for many, many, many many months, maybe years
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to you build it. Their economy, their oil industry would
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: be crippled until then. But the problem is if we
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: blow it up, it's gone for a couple of years,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and then that's going to drive the price of oil
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: up even more. So we don't want to do that.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So that's why he's saying, we'll be very simple to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: just destroy Carg Island. But that's why he's saying we'll
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: take it. Does that mean boots on the ground could
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: be But there are ways to take Carg Island. We
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: could just blockade it and take control of it, even
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: if their boots on the ground. It's okay. We've had
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground twice now in Iran. Both times
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: were to rescue the pilot pilots shot down, but a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: lot of boots on the ground. We put a lot
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: of equipment, planes, we built runways, all kinds of stuff
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: on the ground, and we're able to protect everybody just fine.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: But tonight could be a big night attack in Iran.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: We hit them.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Hard yesterday and we're going to hit them again hard
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: today in case you missif cause you don't turn on
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: your television set, and we'll see what happened with the deal.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: We were really close to a deal, but they keep
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: tapping us along, they keep playing us for suckers.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they keep stretching. Time is the only weapon Iran
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: has right now, and I think was Hexath said we
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: can negotiate with bombs. We can do it that way too.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: But their oil industry is shut right now. They've got
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: absolutely no revenue. They're probably just a couple of weeks
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: away from being totally out of cash, not being able
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to make payroll. So tonight is a big night. Do
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you know we've been taking out now, that's the other
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: big announcement the President made yesterday. You always hear about
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the straight of hormose closed. Well, technically it's closed, but
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: but we've been We opened a sliver of it to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: bring a lot of oil out. We've brought out one
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: hundred million barrels already. Price of oil is down, it's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: eighty nine dollars right now, down from whatever was one
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: hundred and nine. You notice when it's down twenty five
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: dollars a barrel, no mention of it on the news.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It's not a story. If it goes up ten dollars
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a barrel, it's the lead story on nightly news. If
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: it drops twenty five dollars a barrel, no mention, They
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: don't even mention it. So, but we've actually escorted a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: lot of ships out. We've actually opened the other side
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: of the straight of Horn Moose. We've created a path
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: where two hundred ships have safely traveled through the strait.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: We brought out one hundred million barrels already, President Trump
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: revealing that yesterday.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: of oil?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Nobody knows that, you know, who.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Doesn't know about it? Iran until right now. We've took
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: out the other night, twenty two ships late at night
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: with no lights because they don't have any radar, because
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: we've blasted the crap out of it. We took out.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: That's why oil's eighty five.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Dollars a barrel.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did it late at night, middle of the night,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: no lights, they're transponders shut off, escorted by a US military.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: A lot of ships, two hundred ships have gotten through
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the straight oh Horn Moose. So they estimated it's about
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: one hundred million barrels of oil came to the market
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that way. So the Knicks, we're going to have a
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: watch party for last night's game, you know, right outside
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the garden. And then they had to cancel at the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: last minute because the city, who was giving him such
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a hard time, they didn't want the watch party outside
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the garden. Then the city insisted to be limited to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a thousand people. Then the city insisted it be tickets only.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You have to give out tickets to get in, and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they finally just decided to cancel it. They couldn't deal
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: with the city. So James Dolan went on sports radio.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: He actually called in wand to go in the air.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the best if you'll announced the watch
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: party's over sports radio, best place to do it. But
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: he went on there but really took some shots at
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the mayor, James Dolan pointing out that his actual words, Mom,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Donnie and Tish are not experienced enough to handle a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: major event, not experienced enough to handle the security measures
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you need for that. Well, you know he's got a point. Actually, Mom,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Donnie actually has no experience that anything, never had a job,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: never worked in any profession. Jessica Tish had been in
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the police department for years, but it was really as
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: an it person. It's just no actual law enforcement experience
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: before becoming commissioner. Done a good job, but again, yeah,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: not a lot of experience.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, but and Dolan upset. They created
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: this frozen zone that was ridiculous. It was okay when
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the President was there, they closed like everything around Madison
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Square Garden within like five blocks in any direction frozen zone.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: But they did it last night. Nobody understands why. Here's
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: James Dolan.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: You have an easier chance of getting into the area
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: fifty one today than you do into Madison Square Garden.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: You know, it's really the Mayor's office, right. I cannot
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: explain that the decision on this, but it makes absolutely
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: no sense at all.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a really crazy frozen zone for blocks
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: in every direction.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Even if you come by train or by subway, they're
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: not letting you up.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: They're going to fort They're going to push you outside of.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: The of the the forbidden zone and make you come
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: through magnetometers the.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: And you're going to have to show that you have
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: a reason to.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Be there, right, And this is all really designed around
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: stopping people from celebrating around Madison Square.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Guard that's what this is. Frozen zone, all right. You
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: can understand the president's there after three assassination attempts, you
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: can certainly understand it. But what we were worried about last
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: night Ben Stiller most people, and they see Ben still,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it's a two snap to go what's his name? You
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: know he's kind of forgotten about now More James Dolan.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Honestly, the Mayor's office and I'm sorry the Commission or
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: two write do not have the experience to do this, right.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: That's mayor Mom, Donnie and Jessica Tissues, the police comm I.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Mean, they have never managed anything like this before. And
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: it's like peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It's coming out
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: the sides.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Good for him, Good for him, somebody need to say it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: They don't have an experience. Who is the guy talking
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to that's Craig Carton. It sounded like more Dolan.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: They don't want the celebration. The I can't tell you.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Why they don't want to celebration right the I'm not
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: sure they know why they don't want to celebrate, but
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: they clearly don't want it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Well case of Jessica Tish. You know, he's just being
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: overly cautious. Doesn't want any trouble. Case of mom, Donnie.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I think he doesn't like people celebrating. He doesn't want
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to see you happy. You know, he's a socialist. They
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: like to see it walking around waiting in a breadline, scowling.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: The socialists. They don't want to see you happy. They
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: don't it's not good smiling having fun at real left wingers.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: They don't like that at all. Let's here, it's more Dolan.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: All I would say to the Mayor and the Commissioner
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: is right, believe in New Yorkers. Believe New Yorkers can
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: handle this right. We're the greatest city in the world.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: We got we got the greatest citizens and fans in
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: the world. They are not going to turn this right into.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: The well and nice thought, But did you see the
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: other night stopping on that police car putting one hundredents
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: in it?
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Trust first in your own police departments that they can
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: handle it right, and then trust the fans themselves.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: That they're not maniacs. Right, they're enthusiastic.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, we'll get to plat their coming up a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: little later. So Bill Gates had to go before the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Epstein Investigating Committee and testify about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: He had quite a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He was
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: very tangled up with Jeffrey Epstein. He spent a lot
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: of hours and a lot of nights in that townhouse.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And there were a lot of women around, not under age,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: they were older women. But what the hell was he
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: doing there? Obviously it was for women, you know the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: reason this happens. Sometimes you can say, well, the guy's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the multi is the richest, most famous guy on earth.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Can't he get all the women he wants? It doesn't
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: quite work that way. I probably could, but he doesn't
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: know how to do it. He's not built for that.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: He's not set up for that. He's got a huge
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: staff of people that know how to get all kinds
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of things done that they don't know how to get done.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And that's what a lot of these fixtures do. It's
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: not millions of Epstein's not bad, and most of them
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: are quite legitimate people, these fixers, But that's why billionaires
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: latch onto them. They'll take care of stuff for you
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: that you don't want to have to do. Yourself. You know,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: let's say you want to get your kid into Harvard.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: You don't want to be seen making these calls. So
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the guy, I'll do it for you, whatever you need.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: And when it comes to women, these fixtures always have
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a ton of women. If you, Bill Gates and I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: got to go around picking up women. But this guy
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: has plenty, and you're going into his house. And so
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that's what it's all about. Now, Bill Gates walking into
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the hearings. He's got to testify under oath for hours
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: about Epstein. Listen to him coming in.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Glad to be here voluntarily.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: To glad to be here. I think out of if
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you named every possible thing on earth you could do,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: this would be like ten millionth on the list. Glad
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Here, Glad to be here voluntarily to testify, to help
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: with the committee's work. I'll start with an opening statement
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: in the hearing room. I hope my testimony is helpful
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: to the important work of the committee to find justice
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: for the victims.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So he basically said that Epstein was blackmailing. At
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: some point, he said he wouldn't admit to any affairs
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: in the Epstein house, but he said Epstein knew of
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: some affairs, well house, would you know, and that he
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: kept holding that over him. He said, that's I don't
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: know if he's blackmail. He said, that's the reason he
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: kept going back, because the question is why did you
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: keep coming back? They're over and oh you kept coming
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: back all the time. So the blackmail explanation, I guess
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: is for that. The original explanation as to why he
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: went was to he needed money. He was trying to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: raise money for his charity. Very important that he get
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: money for his charity. This explanation doesn't make any sense
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: at all. Gates is worth one hundred billion dollars, Epstein's
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: worth a hundred million. It should be the other way around,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: should be Epstein going to gateshouse begging for money. You
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: got one hundred million, one hundred billion. He's got over
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: a well over one hundred billion. All the money needs
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: for so And I've been in I'm on the board
• 15:39
