Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Okays, the marks among show on seven tenor well, hey,
- 0:06Speaker 1: a rainy morning, but it's going to end in an
- 0:08Speaker 1: hour or two and then it'll be clear and clear
- 0:11Speaker 1: for the rest of the week. So the Laguardi Airport
- 0:13Speaker 1: remains closed and it's'll be closed for a few hours.
- 0:16Speaker 1: They think they'll get it open this afternoon. But there
- 0:18Speaker 1: was this horrific crash. The truck crashed into the plane
- 0:23Speaker 1: on the runway. Now, it turns out the air traffic controllers,
- 0:26Speaker 1: if you go over the tape, gave both clearance. The
- 0:30Speaker 1: truck was given the green light to cross the runway
- 0:35Speaker 1: at the same time the jet was given the ok
- 0:38Speaker 1: to land on the runway. Obviously a big screw up
- 0:42Speaker 1: by the air traffic controllers. Two pilots killed in the crash.
- 0:47Speaker 1: The whole front of the plane crumbled up. A flight
- 0:49Speaker 1: attendant was strapped into her seat and the seat was ejected.
- 0:53Speaker 1: The seat broke loose and she flew out of the plane.
- 0:56Speaker 1: She was ejected out of the plane landing on the runway.
- 1:00Speaker 1: It appears to be okay. She'll be hospitalized, but she's okay.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Forty one people on the plane, forty one passengers in
- 1:08Speaker 1: the hospital right now as we speak, it was a
- 1:12Speaker 1: fire truck crossing the runway and the whole front of
- 1:15Speaker 1: the plane just crumbled. Planes are very light, thin aluminum.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Those fire trucks are heavy duty steel. And the fire
- 1:23Speaker 1: truck was fine, but the plane just a crumbling up.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Total chaos everywhere. But again, LaGuardia closed and even if
- 1:30Speaker 1: they do reopen this afternoon, it's going to be backed
- 1:33Speaker 1: up forever. And ever, ICE agents were already at the
- 1:36Speaker 1: airport this morning. Tom Homan is on CNN yesterday where
- 1:41Speaker 1: of course they're trying to give him a hard time.
- 1:43Speaker 1: They're trying to go after him. What the hell are
- 1:45Speaker 1: ICE agents doing at an airport. Well, you gotta explained
- 1:49Speaker 1: to that ICE agents have always been at the airport.
- 1:54Speaker 1: It's always been a place that ICE agent's patrol. Obviously,
- 1:58Speaker 1: if you're looking for illegals, you'd look at bus stations,
- 2:01Speaker 1: you'd look at airports. They've always been there, and in
- 2:05Speaker 1: this case, they'll just increase the number there. Now, the
- 2:10Speaker 1: Homan pointing out, they're not gonna they're not going to
- 2:12Speaker 1: actually get on the X ray machine and work it.
- 2:14Speaker 1: They're going to work the perimeters. They're going to do
- 2:18Speaker 1: a lot of TSA agents are used to control the lines,
- 2:21Speaker 1: control the gates in and out. All of that ice
- 2:23Speaker 1: will take over that, freeing up a lot of TSA agents.
- 2:28Speaker 1: So and the President said he'll increase the amount of
- 2:32Speaker 1: TSA going to the airports over the next few days. Hey,
- 2:37Speaker 1: Robert Muller died, the former Special Council, former FBI director.
- 2:43Speaker 1: President Trump tweeted out, Robert Muller is dead. Good, horrible guy.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Now he won't be able to hurt any more innocent people. Now.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Of course, the left goes nuts a lot of flak.
- 2:56Speaker 1: How dare he Well, again, he's not a politician. There's
- 2:59Speaker 1: no filter. If the worst guy in your life, the
- 3:03Speaker 1: guy that tried to put you and your family in
- 3:05Speaker 1: jail and came after you in a total fake witch hunt,
- 3:10Speaker 1: fake made up story, and persecuted you for two years
- 3:14Speaker 1: when you found out he was dead, I think any
- 3:16Speaker 1: normal person say, good, I'm glad that guy's did Now,
- 3:21Speaker 1: if you're on the left, of course, you go into
- 3:23Speaker 1: the standard, well distinguish war hero with two purple hearts
- 3:27Speaker 1: and a bronze star, And how dare he's a public servant?
- 3:31Speaker 1: You know? Well, Hey, there's a lot of guys with
- 3:34Speaker 1: purple hearts and bronze stars. Not a lot, but there's
- 3:36Speaker 1: some that have ended up becoming murderers, killers. I mean,
- 3:40Speaker 1: that's not a get out of jail free card for
- 3:42Speaker 1: the rest of your life. Having that it's great, but
- 3:45Speaker 1: if you did horrible stuff later in life, people are
- 3:48Speaker 1: allowed to call you out on it. And Muller, if
- 3:52Speaker 1: you go to my Twitter you'll see a video. Muller
- 3:54Speaker 1: at the end became a real dirty, sort of sleazy,
- 3:59Speaker 1: kind of double talking his way around stuff. There was
- 4:02Speaker 1: absolutely no Russian collusion of any kind. There was no
- 4:07Speaker 1: Russian interference in the election, although Muller would say there
- 4:10Speaker 1: was because the only thing they found, the only thing
- 4:14Speaker 1: they came up with, they found absolutely no evidence of
- 4:16Speaker 1: any dealings with Trump and Russia. Nothing. But they claim
- 4:22Speaker 1: they did try to tamper with the election because they
- 4:24Speaker 1: spent one hundred thousand dollars on Facebook ads. Well, that's
- 4:29Speaker 1: not going to tamper with an election. Most major restaurants
- 4:33Speaker 1: in New York spent one hundred thousand dollars a year
- 4:34Speaker 1: on Facebook ads. It's nothing. The Hillary Clinton campaign spent
- 4:39Speaker 1: something like eight hundred million on Facebook ads, one hundred
- 4:42Speaker 1: thousand on Facebook ads is not going to move the
- 4:44Speaker 1: needle even a billionth of an inch. So there was
- 4:47Speaker 1: no Russian collusion. It was all a hoax. It was
- 4:49Speaker 1: all made up. Muller was by that time an older
- 4:53Speaker 1: guy who wasn't as sharp as he used to be,
- 4:56Speaker 1: and he was led around by this Andrew Weissman, who
- 4:59Speaker 1: is one of the dirtiest cops ever, who has a
- 5:03Speaker 1: history of persecuting people on the right. It was really
- 5:07Speaker 1: him that ran. Muller ran the investigation, and Muller later
- 5:10Speaker 1: had to admit a lot of things.
- 5:11Speaker 2: The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump
- 5:14Speaker 2: campaign conspired with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
- 5:21Speaker 2: We did not address collusion, which is not a legal term. Rather,
- 5:25Speaker 2: we focused on whether the evidence was sufficient to charge
- 5:28Speaker 2: any member of the campaign was taking part in a
- 5:31Speaker 2: criminal conspiracy, and it was not.
- 5:34Speaker 1: So he was a guy that wasted fifty seven million
- 5:37Speaker 1: in tax pair of money. Put out a four hundred
- 5:40Speaker 1: page report. You can read it cover to cover. There
- 5:42Speaker 1: is absolutely no evidence of any Russia conspiracy of any kind.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Absolutely nothing, there nothing. Hey, justin Timberlake was arrested. You
- 5:56Speaker 1: remember in It wasn't South. Where was it Bridgehampton. Where
- 6:00Speaker 1: was it? Sag Harbor? He was arrested in sag Harbor.
- 6:04Speaker 1: What's that place? That old hotel there, the American Hotel.
- 6:09Speaker 1: He's coming out of there. He had a few drinks,
- 6:11Speaker 1: a few too many drinks. It looks like drunk driving.
- 6:15Speaker 1: They arrested Timberlake and it's the Hamptons. It's justin Timberlake.
- 6:21Speaker 1: He's a big, huge star. You get yourself the top attorneys,
- 6:25Speaker 1: You get yourself the right local attorneys, former prosecutors there,
- 6:29Speaker 1: and you can get it reduced down. It's basically a
- 6:32Speaker 1: good guy justin Timberlake, shouldn't have been drinking and driving,
- 6:36Speaker 1: but they got it to kind of go away. But
- 6:40Speaker 1: they've now released the bodycam video of his arrest. I
- 6:44Speaker 1: don't know why they do this. There's no reason. I
- 6:45Speaker 1: understand why they do the bodycam video, but there's no
- 6:47Speaker 1: reason to make it public and put it out. Here's
- 6:50Speaker 1: some of the audio. All right, at this point, based
- 6:53Speaker 1: on observations, you're going to the rest for specially dragging
- 6:56Speaker 1: on talkspated. That's what I would do to turnarounds. You
- 7:01Speaker 1: want the man like.
- 7:04Speaker 2: I'm just following my friends home.
- 7:10Speaker 1: All right, I'll just turn around for me. Blase. Yeah,
- 7:13Speaker 1: if you're trying to talk your way out of that,
- 7:16Speaker 1: the best way is to have to say, look sounded
- 7:21Speaker 1: like a young Joe Biden there. So they did arrest him.
- 7:25Speaker 1: There's a part of the video. You go see the
- 7:26Speaker 1: whole video online, but there's a part with the cop
- 7:28Speaker 1: is pulled him over and he's a grilling them, and
- 7:31Speaker 1: then at one point he says, I'm I'm justin Timberlake,
- 7:34Speaker 1: and the cop says, you're justin Timberlake. Would you recognize him?
- 7:41Speaker 2: If?
- 7:41Speaker 1: Of course you would, Yeah, I mean i'd recognize well,
- 7:43Speaker 1: but you know, he's probably late at night, he's a
- 7:45Speaker 1: little messed up, doesn't look like himself, disheveled, and you're
- 7:48Speaker 1: a cop in the middle of Suffolk County. You don't
- 7:51Speaker 1: expect to be pulling over justin Timberlake, but under arrest.
- 7:57Speaker 1: You know, it's a different world now, But it's amaze
- 8:00Speaker 1: you didn't see that as much of this like back
- 8:02Speaker 1: in the eighties or nineties, even though people were out
- 8:05Speaker 1: partying a lot more. This weekend, Greenwich, Connecticut, there's a
- 8:09Speaker 1: great restaurant, Polpo Greenwich, connect I was there this weekend
- 8:13Speaker 1: talking to the owner Ron Rosa. Now, this guy used
- 8:16Speaker 1: to own a lot of big New York restaurants in
- 8:18Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties. So we're talking about the good
- 8:20Speaker 1: old days. And there's people listening to this who can't
- 8:23Speaker 1: believe this conversation, because if you're in today's world, you
- 8:27Speaker 1: don't realize. Back in the eighties and nineties, everybody in
- 8:31Speaker 1: New York would go out all night long to every
- 8:34Speaker 1: There were great clubs. There was Regimes, there was o Bar,
- 8:37Speaker 1: there was Nell's, there was Stringfellows. There was a million
- 8:41Speaker 1: great clubs, beautiful, I mean, really great place to see
- 8:46Speaker 1: go out till four in the morning. They'd all had
- 8:48Speaker 1: to close it for that's closing time. Then everybody would
- 8:50Speaker 1: go to the Brass Array, this beautiful restaurant over there
- 8:53Speaker 1: on fifty second, everybody from everybody in the world. You'd
- 8:56Speaker 1: go out there, you'd see a million famous faces four
- 8:59Speaker 1: to seven am, and then you go home about six
- 9:01Speaker 1: in the morning. There's none of that anymore. This guy's
- 9:05Speaker 1: in this little place in the American Hotel. It's got
- 9:07Speaker 1: a nice bar in there, sagcar. But this is probably
- 9:10Speaker 1: ten thirty eleven at night. Everything's dead by eleven o'clock.
- 9:13Speaker 1: At night now eleven thirty. Ah, there's a couple of
- 9:16Speaker 1: clubs openly, but nothing great. And it's it's it's just
- 9:22Speaker 1: not the same anyone. Now, what was the difference. I'm
- 9:23Speaker 1: trying to figure out what happened. Well, if you go
- 9:26Speaker 1: back to the let's say, the early nineties, there was
- 9:29Speaker 1: no nobody had cell phones back then, believe it or not,
- 9:32Speaker 1: there were no cell phones and there were really there
- 9:35Speaker 1: was no streaming, there was no internet. There was cable TV,
- 9:39Speaker 1: but it was kind of primitive back then. Maybe had
- 9:41Speaker 1: forty channels, not four hundred thirty channels maybe, and there
- 9:45Speaker 1: was no TV Land, There was no Bravo, there was
- 9:48Speaker 1: no Andy, there was nothing to watch. There was nothing
- 9:51Speaker 1: going on. After the Tonight show went off here there
- 9:54Speaker 1: was nothing, absolutely nothing, So people went out all night.
- 9:58Speaker 1: A lot of people are trying to figure out what
- 10:00Speaker 1: happened all that night life. Some think, well, once there
- 10:03Speaker 1: was cable TV with hundreds of channels, once there was
- 10:07Speaker 1: the internet, everybody stayed home. They got home early. So
- 10:11Speaker 1: if you can figure it out, let me know. We'll
- 10:14Speaker 1: take some calls later. So you see, if you can
- 10:15Speaker 1: figure out what happened, Hey, nobody better at trolling people
- 10:19Speaker 1: than Donald Trump. Now, you know the crazy left tearing
- 10:24Speaker 1: down statues, erasing our history. The one big target was
- 10:28Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus. All over the country they were tearing down
- 10:32Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus statues. They tried to do it here in
- 10:34Speaker 1: New York. Well, in Baltimore, do you remember that in
- 10:39Speaker 1: the harbor in Baltimore, they tore down the thirteen foot
- 10:43Speaker 1: huge Columbus statue. This was twenty twenty. I think it
- 10:47Speaker 1: was the George Floyd Rites. But they tore down the
- 10:50Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus statue and they threw it into the harbor,
- 10:53Speaker 1: into the water, to the bottom of the harbor. Well,
- 10:57Speaker 1: people went down there and got the actual It was
- 10:59Speaker 1: a mess, but they got the stone, they got the
- 11:01Speaker 1: marble whatever it was, and they brought it up. It's
- 11:05Speaker 1: actually marble. They retrieved all as much of the marble
- 11:08Speaker 1: as they could.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Well.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Trump had it brought to the White House and he
- 11:11Speaker 1: had some marble experts take all of it and redo
- 11:15Speaker 1: it into a new Christopher Columbus statue. And over the
- 11:18Speaker 1: weekend yesterday they put it up on the White House grounds.
- 11:22Speaker 1: It's a beautiful statue, a monument to Christopher Columbus. The
- 11:26Speaker 1: Italian Explorer. Looks great. It's a one ton replica. Also
- 11:31Speaker 1: thirteen feet one ton replica of the Baltimore Statue. They've
- 11:35Speaker 1: recreated it. It's now standing on the grounds of the
- 11:38Speaker 1: White House. That's great news. They were talking about four
- 11:42Speaker 1: about the ridiculous mayor and first lady. I mean, she's
- 11:45Speaker 1: absolutely crazy. Now it turns out she was creating artwork
- 11:49Speaker 1: for an anti Israel campaign years ago, the Democratic Socialists
- 11:53Speaker 1: of America, Anti Semites, anti Israel. She was creating the artwork.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Turns out that's her career. She's a professional illustrator, provided
- 12:03Speaker 1: graphics for them. But it was a terrible anti Semitic
- 12:06Speaker 1: campaign she was in on it. Meantime, the crazy mayor
- 12:11Speaker 1: goes to Rikers Island, has a Muslim prayer service with
- 12:16Speaker 1: the Muslim prisoners on Rikers Island. He wanted to pray
- 12:19Speaker 1: with them. Did you ever think you'd lived to see this?
- 12:23Speaker 1: I mean, you had great mayors. You had Juliana, you
- 12:25Speaker 1: had Bloomberg, You had great, great mayors locking up the criminals,
- 12:29Speaker 1: getting them off the street. Then you had some crazy politicians.
- 12:32Speaker 1: You had Andrew Cuomo closing the prisons, proud to announce
- 12:36Speaker 1: he's closing prisons, letting the prisoners out. He had built.
- 12:40Speaker 1: De Blasio is going to close rikers On, And I
- 12:42Speaker 1: mean that's bad enough. Now you got a mayor who
- 12:44Speaker 1: goes to the prison and prays with them. They're in prison,
- 12:48Speaker 1: they're murderers, they're killers. As Michael Goodwin said last hour,
- 12:52Speaker 1: why don't you go pray with the victims of the
- 12:54Speaker 1: people they killed? These people, I mean, they're the most
- 12:57Speaker 1: awful criminals in rikers On. He's praying with them, absolutely insane. Meantime,
- 13:02Speaker 1: he's just, as we said before, just being an activist.
- 13:05Speaker 1: He's just being an activist campaigning. He's just campaigning. He's
- 13:11Speaker 1: supposed to be a mayor, which means you're supposed to
- 13:12Speaker 1: be managing. The mayor's job really is just to provide services,
- 13:17Speaker 1: make sure everything's running efficiently. He's not doing any of that.
- 13:20Speaker 1: He's just out campaigning. Look at you. Look at the potholes.
- 13:23Speaker 1: You know how. In fact, one reason you don't need
- 13:26Speaker 1: speed cameras right now. Everybody drives slowly right now because
- 13:29Speaker 1: they've just got to stare at the road and watch
- 13:31Speaker 1: for potholes. There's so many of them because of the
- 13:33Speaker 1: weird weather we had the blizzards, the temperatures up and down.
- 13:37Speaker 1: We have more potholes than ever. In fact, a pothole
- 13:43Speaker 1: reports coming in set an all time record, almost twenty
- 13:47Speaker 1: three thousand reports of potholes coming in in the last month,
- 13:51Speaker 1: twenty three thousand. It's unbelievable. But they're not getting filled
- 13:54Speaker 1: fast enough. They don't have enough manpower to fill them.
- 13:57Speaker 1: The city aidency that fills the potholes sad they're about
- 14:01Speaker 1: three hundred people short. I mean, this is what you're
- 14:03Speaker 1: supposed to do. You're not supposed to be at Riker's
- 14:05Speaker 1: Island praying with murderers. You're supposed to be filling the potholes. Anyway,
- 14:10Speaker 1: we'll take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three
- 14:13Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
- 14:17Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten
