  Speaker 2: How are you good?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to mention before Bill Maher had that platform,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I believe it was Wayne's World with Wayne and Goss,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: and that's kind of true.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I think Bill Maher may have taken it from them.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know where he got it from, but
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you're right, you're right. That was the first time and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: that was Wayne's World. What was that back in the nineties,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the early two thousand tests, before podcasts, before any of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Yeah, it was two guys in the basement. Yah,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: remember starting it live? In those days, there were a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: lot of where somebody had a show like two amateurs
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: talking in Wayne's World was the best of them. Let's
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: go to Mike and Mike. How you doing good morning?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Mark?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, Mike too bad?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Onto what the previous call had just mentioned. I was
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: going to say that back in the day, it was
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: a little bit more formal than it is now as
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: casual as it is now with mar and Hannity and
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: l o'reiley even copied that format. It was toping.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You know what, Actually, I give a Riley credit. He
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: didn't copy that format. When he does it, it looks
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: like a TV set and he's got a suit on.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: He didn't go in for that show.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's a little more formal than the other
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: two guys been doing it. But back in the day,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Tom Snyder, you know, considering you know, the time he
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: was doing it, that was sort of like a precursor
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to this format also.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Well, but Tom Snyder, it was a TV studio, it
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: was suits and sizes. But Tom Snyder was copying Mike
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Wallace who had done that in the.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Fifties, and David Suskind also to a logic extent.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But the originator was Mike Wallace in the fifties. Good point, Mike,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling. And back in the nineteen fifties Mike
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Wallace did it was called night Beat. It was a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: local show on Channel five mid fifties, and it was
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: him and a guest and they both sit in chairs
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: facing each other black background, no set, just a black man.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: He'd grill the guy and Suskin did a Sunday night
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: show where it was it was always a panel. And
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: all this stuff is on YouTube, by the way, you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: can go watch these old shows. Pretty interesting to look at. Now,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: let's go to Don in New York City. Don, how
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you doing.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, hello, Mark, you were talking yesterday about the film
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: High Society. Yeah, so let Home was also in that film, so.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Lest Home Sinatra bing Crosby Grace Kelly. Louis Armstrong is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in the film.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, she shang a duet with Sinatra who wants
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: to be a millionaire.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: There you go. What are we supposed to do with
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: this information?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, well, no, it's good. It was a great fabric.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: You go watch that film High Society. You know, Frank
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Sinatra never got intimidated. He was the most confident, courageous
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: man in the world. Nobody intimidated him except twice in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: his life. Once he was young, he was about eighteen.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: He started. He was a singing waiter in New Jersey.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: It was called the Rustic Cabin. It's right right where
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you got off the Palisades. I think eggsit won there.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: But it was a little roadhouse and he was a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: singer little. I mean, he was his first job. He's eighteen.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: He was also a waiter and a singer. Well, Cold
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Porter came in one night. Couldn't believe it, Cold Porter's
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in the audience. So Sinatra decided he'll sing Night and Day. Well,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: he got up there and completely panicked. He just froze.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: He couldn't remember the words to Night and Day. It
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was the most embarrassing thing ever. And that was when
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: he was eighteen. Now million years later he's the biggest
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: star on earth and he's making the film High Society.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It's nineteen fifty six. It's a Cold Porter musical. Coldporter
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: comes to visit the set and at one point Sinatra system,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't remember this, but when when I was eighteen,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I was singing in a road and Coldporter said, I
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: never forgot it. I never forgot that moment. So it's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: stuck in Coldporter's mind. It was so unbelievable. The other
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: time Sinatra got intimidated, he told me the only other
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: time he got intimidated was when he met Winston Churchill.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: This is long after World War Two, early fifties. He's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in London and there's a receiving line that where you
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: were going to meet Churchill. And as he got up
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to Churchill, he said, I'm Frank Sinatra, and he tried
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to explain who he was, and Churchill grabbed him by
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the shoulders. He goes, young man, he goes, I know
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: who you are. He goes. During World War two and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: we went down in the tunnels when we were being bombed.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It was your music that got us through the night.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: We listened to your recordings, and Sinatra actually teared up.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: He couldn't believe it. Anyways, go to Vincent and Brooklyn.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Vincent, how you doing great stories? Mack, great stories. Mark.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you heard my ma'am Mondami's press conference yesterday
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: where he had all heads of various departments. So, ma'am
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: and Damie wants to end so called discrimination against blacks
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: in Hispanics in New York City by introducing discrimination on
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: everybody else. He claims that blacks and Hispanics in the
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: city are not doing it as well as everybody else.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: But yet, as Liz Peake said, and also the President
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: for the Partnership of New York had an article in
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: the Business section of the in the post yesterday or
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: the day before, the crushing effects that New York City
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: and New York State's fiscal policies are have it on
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: the populace and on the people who create wealth and
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: the jobs in the city. He never mentions it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you're a stun that the Democratic Socialist
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: is a hypocrite. You can't believe it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, but I also heard that the Trump Justice
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Department was carefully my what Mondamie was saying, because they
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: may bring a federal law discrimination lawsuit against the Mondamian administration.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: If he tries to pull it's over. It's open discrimination.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Markin absolutely Vincent, great call, You're absolutely right. So he's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: going to do one of these diversity quota reverse the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: discrimination yourself. But the Trump Justice Department has said they
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: are gonna look at it, They're going to keep their
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: eye on it, and he could actually be violating the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: law his own form of discrimination. So we'll see. Let's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: go to Roger in Astoria. Roger, how you doing.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah good. It was a number of years back. But
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: the ex president of Iran, I'm a dinajad. Hey, the
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: following statement, I'm going to paraphrase it, he basically said
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: that if one of the Arab countries has a nuclear
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: weapon that has dropped it on Israel, fully understanding that
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Israel will retaliate and wipe them off the face of
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: the earth. He said, but you got to take one
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: for the team. This is the mentality that we're dealing with.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: No, absolutely, this is the people yelled death to America
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: all the time. I forgot about it. I'm a Didijon,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the Iranian president, the worst lunatic, radical, nut job lunatic
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: in the world. And you remember this is years ago.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: If you think Columbia University just got bad the last
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: few years, it's been bad for a long time. Member.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I can't remember who it is. It was a very
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: prominent Republican politician or governor or some Republican was to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: speak at Columbia and the students went crazy because he
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: was a Republican. They did not want him to speak.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: They protested, they blocked the hole, so they had to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: cancel this Republican guy's speech, and instead the speaker was
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Ahmed Didijohn. The students embraced him the crazy death to America,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Death to Israel. Iranian President Ahmed Didijohn, They actually let
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: him speak at Columbia. It's always been bad, it's just
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it's just the craziest place Colombia. I think it finally
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: got exposed after October seventh, and it's going to be
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: decades and decades before they ever recover their their reputation. Hey,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: when we come back, Bill O'Reilly will be with us
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and we'll I got lots to talk to him about.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: We'll also tell you how all of this is coordinated,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the Democratic attacks, how coordinated they are. We'll get to
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that coming up on seven to ten wor
