• 0:45
  Speaker 1: pictures with him. So you just can't try to figure
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it out. It's all it's all total hypocrisy. You know,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I almost made the mistake of saying I hate that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: stupid phrase. I almost said, you can't make this stuff up.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: That's the dumbest phrase in the world. There are people
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: who do make that stuff up for a living. All
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the great writers, screenwriters, they all go crazy whenever you're
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to use that expression, Yeah you can't make this stuff up,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah you can. That's what they do for a living.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: They make up stuff even more outrageous than that. So
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: King Charles will come to New York tomorrow, Mom Donnie
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: will show him around. Also, you're gonna have the other
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: controversy with Mom Donnie. You got all this FIFA stuff coming,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: which is FIFA is all the soccer stuff and the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: World Cup and all that. It'll be here in New York,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it'll be in New Jersey, it'll be all over the place.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It's gonna tie up everything. Hang on, sorry, it's all
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: those buffets choking to death on something. So it's gonna
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just be a snarled up mess. And Donnie addressing that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: These events were not initially set to be free, but
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the World's game should belong to the world, and so
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: we've made the decision together for fans to be able
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: to watch that together without having to spend a dollar.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I don't know what doll he's talking about.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: He doesn't either. It's going to cost a fortune for everything.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: The tickets are outrageous, even to take the train. Everything's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: going to cost a fortune. It's going to be totally disruptive.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I guess it's that's good. It brings a lot of
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: attention to New York. You know, whatever you see the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Grand Prix, the Formula One Grand Prix, Miami, Monte Carlo,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Las Figs. You know, they got to close up the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: whole downtown for a week. It's an absolute nightmare. But
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: but it looks good. It's like a advertisement all over
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the world for the city. So we should be proud.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: The World Cup is coming.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: We will be hosting five free official fan events, one
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: in each borough, featuring live viewings, local food offerings, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: so much more.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: It's funny he gets excited about this, the World Cup.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: He's all excited. The World Cup. It's coming. It's going
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to be great in New York. Meantime, if you're a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: billionaire like Ken Griffin and you're about to pump six
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: billion into the economy to build an enormous skyscraper, he
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: hates you. He's mad at you. You know, this Ken
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Griffin building he's going to put on fifty second in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Park would employ fifteen thousand people and to build it
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: will employ six thousand construction workers for about five years.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: It's going to take that long to build it. So
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: he's mad at that guy. But the world couple be
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: here for a day and a half two minutes, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: he's all excited about that. Go try to figure that out.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: So you know, for those of you that that think
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: New York is dying, it's over. That's it. It's these
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: big real estate guys, these big billionaires. They're very smart
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: when it comes to this stuff. They can see into
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the future, and they're building or about to build massive
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: skyscrapers all over New York. This Ken Griffin building would
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: be it. Fifty second and Park. Remember the old Brooks
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Brothers store on Madison Avenue, the original flagship Brooks Brothers
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: has been closed for a couple of years. It's a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: coffee shop. Well, one of the big real estate companies,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: one of the great builders in New York. They're going
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to tear all that down, that build a massive building.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They're a beautiful new building. And then the Roosevelt Hotel,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: which was the Migrant that's probably gonna come down. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: think it's JP Morgan Chase looking at building another skyscraper there.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: If you go to fifty eighth and Madison, you'll see
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: all the buildings have been torn down. There's a big
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: hole in the ground. Well, there's a eighty five story
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: skyscraper about to go up there on fifty seventh between
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: fifth and sixth on both sides of the street, there's
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: like seventy five story skyscrapers going up on both sides.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I mean can rattle off about twenty of these skyscrapers
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: going up, and they're all multi billion dollar projects, billions
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: for each building. And these real estate guys are spending
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it because they know New York is going to have
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a big future. They're not moving these buildings somewhere else. Now.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: The only one that's questionable this I don't know about.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of skyscraper there's a bunch
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: of skyscrapers in Columbus Circle, and then after that it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the Upper West Side where there's no skyscrapers, except now
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: there's one. It's about sixty sixth then Broadway. It's like
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a fifty five sixty story skyscraper. It just kind of
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: stands out. You've never seen a skyscraper on the old
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Upper West Side. Well, now there's another one. I think
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it hasn't been fully approved yet, but it's where the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: old ABC TV was on sixty seventh and Columbus. The
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: ABC it was actually a campus. It was like three
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: or four buildings. That's where Live with Regis was every morning,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Channel seven News, all that ABC stuff moved down to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Tribeca because somebody bought all those buildings. They're tearing them down.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: They want to build an eighty five story skyscraper. But
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that's on the upper West side, in the middle of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: all those regular apartments. You'll see these two enormous skyscrapers.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: It's kind of jarring. The same thing happened in Queens
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and Brooklyn. You know, remember you used to look over
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: at Queens from Manhattan and there was one little skyscraper,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: one little city bank building. Now you look over there,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it's a whole skyline. On both sides of the East River,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: there's a skyline. So you're going to see more and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: more of that. There's gonna be these skyscrapers everywhere. But uh,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: if he asked these big real estate guys, the heads
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of these big real estacings. So once you're worried about
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: mom Donnie Is, I'll tell you he's just a blipping time.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: He'll be gone before you know it, because these projects are,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you know, eight year, ten year projects. Now Mam Donnie
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: wants to do a ticker tape parade for the Artemis
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: two crew, the astronauts. Well, have you heard anybody talk
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: about him in the last week? Boy, they got forgotten
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: about fast, the Artemis two astronauts. You know, it used
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to be if you were an astronaut in the good
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: old days of Gemini Apollo, when you came down from
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the Moon, you were on the Tonight Show, you were
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: on Meet the Press, you were on everything, you were
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: on the Today Show, you were all over the place.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: But we forgot all about these guys. Do you know
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: anybody could name their names? I don't think so. So
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: they want to do this ticker tape parade here in
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: New York. You wouldn't think Mamdani'd be a big parade guy.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't think he'd be a big Space program guy.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: But he wants to do it. He wants NASA to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: pay for it. That's the problem. Ticker tape parades cost
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of money, not just the cleanup sanitation, but
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you got to have a lot of cops. That's a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: lot of overtime. So he wants NASA to pay for
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Good luck with that. Hey, Katie Couric, seems like a nice,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you know, perky, nice cute Katie Curk. She definitely has
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a weasel side to her. She turned on Matt Lower.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: She never did this before. There's a new book that's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: come out from one of the alleged rape victims. She's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: written a long, detailed book. I can't see the title here,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but it's her memoir and she tells the stories. She
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was on the road with Matt Lower. She was like
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: an assistant, a producer. I guess she was a producer.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: And they're traveling there, staying in the hotel at the Olympics,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and somehow she ends up in Matt Lower's room and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: she says she was raped by him. Then she says
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: another time in his Today Show office he raped her.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Remember he had that button. When he's at his desk,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: he can reach under and touch a button that'll lock
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: all the doors. Now, who has that kind of a
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: button in their office. I know big CEOs that have incredible,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: unbelievably equipped offices. There's no button under the desk to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: lock the doors. That's usually James Bond Villain has that button.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe somewhere in the highest levels of the intelligence department.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Somebody needs that button. But what does Matt Lower need
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the button to lock the doors. So she remember this
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: was the story where supposedly he raped this woman in
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the office and then when it was over, she had
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: passed out and they had a call the NBC nurses
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to come drag her out of that kind of stuff.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: So she's written a book about this. I wasn't there.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you it happened, but sounds to me
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: like it happened because NBC investigated and Matt Lower was
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: fired twenty four hours later. Now I remember, he's the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: host of the Today Show. He's getting twenty five million
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a year. Is a big thing. He's the number one
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Today Show. You don't fool around with that. The fact
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that they fired him the next day, well, well I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: think that means something was going on there. So she's
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: written this book and they asked Katie Koric about it,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and she didn't defend Matt Lower in anyway. She says,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I feel terrible for her. I think she was very brave,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: very brave to write the book. And what can she
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: say if she knows it's true. I don't know. But
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you got to remember something. They all worked with Matt Lawer.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: In fact, in fact, if you go back and check
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the record. This was during all that me Too stuff
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: coming out, that Charlie Rose type stuff coming out. I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: sat on the air Matt Lower, and I said, it's coming.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. He's gonna get caught too. So if
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I knew about it, I don't even work there. If
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I knew about it, why didn't Katie Koric know about it?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: If it's happening at NBC News and they're supposed to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: be the top investigative journalists of the world and it's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: happening two doors down in the hallway, how come they
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: didn't know about it? How come they didn't anything. It's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a pretty good question. Nobody's nobody's asked. So you want
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to feel really old, really old. Remember David Hasselhoff, Remember Baywatch?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Remember him in that bathing suit and the surfboard running
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: along the beach in Baywatch. Look at this picture David
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Hasselhoff now using a walker. He's got gray hair, white hair,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: he's got a walker. He's with a for the his
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: wife is helping him. He's using a walker. Oh, actually
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: he's only seventy three. I guess he said some medical problems. Hey,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Rob Reiner, you know he had this crazed son Nick Reiner.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: But did you know about this one? Ryan O'Neill and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Farah Fawcett have a son. Ryan O'Neill and Pharah Fawcett's
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: son is named Redmond O'Neill. He was in court last
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: week with a slew of charges. He's in court for
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: attempted murder. He looks really frightening. He's got these scary
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: tattoos all over his face. Apparently struggled with drug addiction
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: from a very young age, in and out of rehab.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: He has all kinds of addictions he can't control. He's
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: been in asylums and all kinds of rehab for years.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, he went on a knife rampage across
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles, attacked five men, robbed the seven to eleven,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: seriously injured two victims, including who was one who was
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: stabbed in the face. That's not a place, Hollywood, probably
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: not a place you want to raise your kids. Not
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a great environment. Now. The other thing is King Charles
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: will be here in New York tomorrow, so just remember
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that this is I imagine there'll be a lot of security,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: be kind of disruptive. So if you're planning on driving
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: into New York. You probably don't want to do it tomorrow. Hey,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the Sphere in Las Vegas. You've either been there. It's
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: an amazing thing to see or you've seen it. The
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Sphere in Las Vegas built by Madison Square Garden, by
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: James Dolan. You know they spent two and a half
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: billion to build it. Kind of a gamble. Well, it's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: now officially the world's highest grossing entertainment venue. Remember, the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: initial predictions were all doomsday predictions. It's never going to work. Well.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Last year alone, almost two million people bought a ticket
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to go to the Sphere. Last year alone, it brought
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: in about almost four hundred million in revenue. It's the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: top grossing venue in the world. It helped push the cup.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: They actually made it a separate company, Sphere Entertainment. It's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: now in the black, big net profit investors have taken notice.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Company stock was twenty six dollars. Now it's one hundred
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and thirty eight dollars. It's way way up. I talked
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: to Dolan maybe it was six months ago, about the Sphere.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I said, you're going to open them all over the place.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: He just looked at me like, no, it's a it's
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: impossible to say much to do. It's too it's too
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: tough to build them, and kind of said, Las Vegas
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: is really the only place you can do it. Maybe
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you could do it in Florida, because you really need
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of cooperation for the land, for the permits,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: for the whole thing from the government there. And obviously
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: you can't do it in New York. They would just
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: torture you with zoning and regulations and all that stuff.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And also he kind of said, if you build them
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: all over the place, it takes away the cachet of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the one in Las Vegas. It's not so special. If
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: it's a chain and there's a whole bunch of them, Hey,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: well take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten is the number, you know.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: ICE is the Immigration and Custom Enforcement Agency Customs Enforcement ICE.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And there's all the controversy, all the flack. Somebody suggested
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the President Trump and he loves the idea. Somebody suggested
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: changed the name to the National Immigration Customs Enforcement And
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that way it's nice, it's not ICE. It becomes nice,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and on the uniform it says nice, and on the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: helmet it says Nice. Uh, he really got excited about
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that idea. I think you're gonna see him do it,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: so expect that to happen pretty soon. They'll change the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: name of ICE to Nice National Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
• 15:21

  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Hey, Mark, I think you're absolutely right to highlight these
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: this Mundania attack on Ken Griffin, But I wonder it
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: kind of reminds me. You say that they're still building
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: lots of buildings in New York and they've got the
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: builders of a vision for its future. But it reminds
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: me sort of that maybe where or I think makes
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: me think of we're in an Ugo Chavez moment, like
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: in Venezuela. You know, I think they were probably building
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: skyscrapers in downtown Venezuela, in what's the capital of Venezuela
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: and uh way back when uh and then up to
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: the minute that guy took over. I mean, I could
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: we could we be slipping into that kind of.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: At least you're talking about the smartest real estate companies.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: You're talking about the rudent stuff, Fishers, the uh the
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: uh well left racks, the the sl Green. These guys
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: know what they're doing. They wouldn't invest here if they
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: weren't sure. Steve Roth, Steve Ross, all these guys, they
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: know what they're doing. Yeah, yeah, all right, thanks for calling.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Let's go to uh Jay in New Jersey. Jay, how
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah heymrk uh yeah.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Now I went to listen to me. Listen to me carefully.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I used to be a great prank caller when I
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: was a kid. You gotta do better. You got to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: go up to another level. You can't just call him
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: go right, you gotta come up with something.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: No, I'm no prank caller. I'm I'm just I just
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: found that. I just found that humorous before. But about yeah,
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: the Secret Service, I think that this guy, this sic
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: of Service director Sean Curran. He something's wrong with this guy.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: You know, they messed up with Butler the perimeter there,
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: then there's the golf course. Then the guy broken Tomorrow Lago.
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: Now there's this So why is this guy still why
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: does he still have his job?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Mark? Well, that's a good question. You know, you got
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to realize every time we've had this happen. Uh, after
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: it was over, you look back and say, what the hell,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: why were you so relax? Why were you so crate?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: You know, the Kennedy assassination really was the first time
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: where after it was over, he said, why would you
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: have the president riding in an open car like that?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: You're just asking for trumpel It's so he's so vulnerable
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: righting around that open car. I know they had that
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: bubble top they could put on, but you know the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: bubbletop wasn't bulletproof. That bubbletop was really for the rain,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: not anything else. But after that was over, you realized
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: riding around in an open car this was insane. So
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: when they built the new presidential limousines, there was no
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: way to open the top and they were bulletproof, bomb proof.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: And then the next assassination was the gerald Ford two
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: assassination attempts on gerald Ford. And you look back at
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the Reagan assassination attempt you think that was crazy. Why
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: would you walk President Reagan out into the driveway where
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: there's a million people standing around him and walk him
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: past that crowd like that? Why didn't you know you
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: look nowadays, they take him through a tent you can't
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: see him, or they pull the car like inside the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: garage and he gets in in there and this White
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: House Correspondents dinner. This has been going on for years, decades,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: decades in that ballroom. And now you look back and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you say, well, this was crazy. You haven't it in
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: a hotel. It's open with a thousand people staying upstairs
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: that haven't been screened. It's crazy. But nobody ever thinks
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of all this stuff ahead of time. But it's just
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you know, now when the president, you ever see this
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: presidential limousine, This videos online, it'll show you in detail
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: what's in there. It's bomb proof, it's bulletproof. It can
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: launch missiles, it can literally launch missiles. It can withstand
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a poison gas attack. You know, when you're in that beast.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: You can't open the door. In fact, the other day
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: President Trump and Missus Trump went to the car and
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: he got in and she got in. On the other
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: sid people were saying, well, why didn't he open the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: door for you can't open the door. In fact, the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: door it's so thick and so bombproof, the door weighs
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: almost three hundred pounds. So when you're riding in the Beast,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the Secret Service will say to you, don't try to
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: open the door yourself. We'll open it for you. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: it's like two burly secret Service guys have to open it.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Dennis in Boundbrook. Dennis, how you doing?
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Good morning, Mark? Yeah. Mark. My question is this
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: with regards to the shooting in Washington. This guy had
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: a room at the hotel. Supposedly, let's say his room
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: was facing the street. Yeh, couldn't he just go to
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: his windows since there's no security, He's got guns and
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: start shooting people like fish in a barrel, And.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wouldn't have been stopped right, Very good point. You know,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: there was a white House Coursepondent a few years ago
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: where they were Palestinian supporters and as the press approached
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: the hotel hanging out of the windows, these protesters rented
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: like ten rooms in a row on one floor and
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: they were able to unfurl an enormous Palestinian flag in
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: front of the hotel for everybody to see as they
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: walked in. I mean, it's a lot of people, about
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: two thousand people come to this dinner. That's why it's
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: in the Washington Hilton because it's the only ballroom big
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: enough in DC to get two thousand people there. Now,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: people will say, well, want they cut it down to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: like six hundred or so. The real purpose of the dinner.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: All the big news organizations take a table. Washington Post
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: takes three tables, Fox News takes three tables, four tables,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the NBC takes four or five to the real reason
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: they take these tables is to invite their advertisers. It's
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: a big perk for the advertisers you bring them to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the dinner. So that's why they can't cut it down.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: That's why it's two thousand people. Every news organization wants
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to bring fifty advertisers to the dinner. Now, Bill O'Reilly
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: was there in the room right near where the gunshots happened,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: so we'll talk to him next. He can tell us
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: what really happened there that night. We'll get to that
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: in a second. On seven to ten WR.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Here's more of the Mark Simoon Show on wor Well.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly, of course, the number one television anchor in
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: America for decades, the number one best selling author nonfiction
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: author in in the world for years, and he's got
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: a you know, you can watch the TV show, get
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the column. Everything's at billoreilly dot com. But he's got
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: a great new podcast called We'll Do It Live. Latest
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: episodes Janine Pira. But I'll go watch all the episodes
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: We'll Do It Live and check out Bill O'Reilly's YouTube channel.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Great content there, Bill O'Reilly. How you doing.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty exhausted after that intro simone. I didn't know
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I was doing all that.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not only that, you've been in the middle of
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: combat before, and then Saturday night, you're standing in the
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Washington Hilton ballroom. You were right near those gunshots, weren't you.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was right at the back door, and I
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: heard those gunshots pretty clearly and looked up to the escalator.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: That's the only way down into the ballroom, and I
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: knew there was a frank is going on upstairs. But
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: everybody dove under the table. You know, in hindsight, I
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: did not dive under the table. I wish I had.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I would have been there with Wolf Blitzer. Maybe we
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: could have had a chat. Was he was deeply embedded
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: under the table. You know, I never for one second
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: thought I was going to hit the carpet. You know,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: it's a story. You got to see the story. And
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: then it happens so rapidly because after the gunshots couldn't
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: have been more than twenty seconds with the Secret Service
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: con barreling through the doors and down the aisle to
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: whisk President Trump away. So I hope everybody enjoyed themselves
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: under the table.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Well, now, but you were a war correspondent in the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: middle of the Falkland's battles. You were in the middle
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: of covering riots. But so you're a trained war correspondent.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: But if you're a TV anchor from MS now, you've
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: never been through that. So I guess that's why they
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: were under the table. They didn't know what else to do.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I just don't think I'm smart enough to go into
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: the table. As my son said to me, he said,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: you're going to get your head balloon off. I said, look,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: they've been trying to do it for fifty years, so anyway,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I don't I'm making fun of the people who hit
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: the ground. But they did the right thing, and you
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: want to get out of the fire zone. But my
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: first instinct is always to cover the story.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they just explained to people that ballroom the way
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: it's set up, the tables are crammed together like you can't. Yeah,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: you can barely walk between them. It's tough to get
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: out of that room.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Two thousand people in the ballroom, three thousand people upstairs
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: in the hotel rooms, five thousand all together. Nobody canntroll
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: a crowd like that. Nobody. Yeah, this was my I
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: think sixth dinner that I went to. And you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: I never really said, like some people did, well the
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: security is this or that? I thought it was pretty
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: well designed. That guy had no chance to get down
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: a stairway into the ballroom none. So he's a loon
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: and he had to know that if he case the place,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: the news is no way that he was going to
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: get down into the main lobby and then get down
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: an escalator. Whether we're eighteen checkpoints with secret Service in
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: US marshals, there's no way it could happen. But he
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: wanted to inject a terrifying scenario and he did.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but would you agree there's no way to ever
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: hold that event in a hotel with people.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: That'll never happen again. And it also get Trump his
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: ballroom billed because it's too risky. Now there's just many
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: crazy people all over the place, and there are. And
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: my theory is social media is responsible for most of
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: that or much of it, but it's exacerbated by television
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: and you know, crazy idea logs all over the place,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: not just on the left. But that's the primary melting
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: pot for them right now.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, with that ballroom, you know, the President says, well,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the East Room, you can only do one hundred and forty.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: This will do two thousand people. Has he thought about
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: you also have to have parking spaces for two thousand cars.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think you thought about that part, did he?
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Well, are you talking about the blareroom at the White House? Yeah,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: now you get there's no parking. You gotta walk it.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: So you want to go to the White House, there's
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: no parking. You get out of your uber or wherever
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: you're going and you walk in. Yeah, so you know
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: to worry about that. There was parking at the hotel
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: underneath it. But I don't believe that was a fact.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: That this guy got dropped off from the train station.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: He went from the from Chicago to DC on the train,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: got off the train, lugged his gear, checked into the
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: hotel a day before, and you know, obviously it was
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: planned out, but it was pretty poorly planned out.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: So half an hour after the gunshots, what was going
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: on the bottom? Were people still there? And when did
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: you leave?
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I left after I couldn't get any more information because
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I had befriended a US Marshall who was giving me
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: pretty good information. At the point I was passing along
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: the News Nation, their correspondence were on the air. I
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: didn't want to hot shot it, so I gave them
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: the info that I had. So I was there, I
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: would say about twenty minutes watching journalist Steele want I
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: ain't off the table, which they did, and they absolutely did.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: And uh then everybody filed out and the steak and
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: lobster was donated to almost I guess food places, which
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: is which is fine, But the whole thing was surrealed
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: to a lot of people. In fact, they got a
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: follow up quill the next day from News Nation and
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: he goes, are you okay? I said, look, I spent
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: time in El Salvador in jungles. This wasn't even close
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: to that. Okay, I'm fine, but thanks for asking.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Hey, let's change subjects. Bill O'Reilly, Jimmy Kimmel, you're the
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: chairman of Disney. What would you do? Would you take
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: him off the year?
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah? The first time Kimmel got into this kind of
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: trouble was Charlie Kirk and I cut him a little slack,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: and I was wrong in doing that. The guy's just
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: a hater. So Michael is to Disney, not to Jimmy Kimmel.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Why is he on the air. So if you had
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: a conservative of a right winger every night spouting hate
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: against somebody on the left, you think that person be
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: on the air. No, okay, So I like an explanation
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: from Disney why this man is on the air. Not funny,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: not a satirist. He's just there to mean the president
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: in the Office of the Presidency. That's all he's there
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: to do. He's got a very small audience, less than
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: two million. Okay. Why is he there for what reason? Disney?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I'm asking Disney, and they don't have a reason. I mean,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: this has hurt their business, So what the deuce are
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not a big censorship guys. You know people thrown
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: off the air because they mock politicians. I mock politicians
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: all the time. This guy's not in business to mark,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: he's in business to hurt.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody put their sponsor list up. And I don't
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: believe in sponsor boycott. You shouldn't do that. But I'm
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: looking at the list McDonald's Chevy. Why are they advertising
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: on a show like that?
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: They bought bulk, which in the television industry. Then I
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: don't even know what they're buying. Yeah, they buy prime time,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: they buy late night, they buy mornings. They're not going, oh,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: let's advertise on Jimmy Kimmel. That doesn't happen. However, they
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: know they're on Jimmy Kimmel. The sponsors know, and they
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: don't care. And that's the big thing. Disney does not
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: care about this at all. If it did, Kimmel would
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: have been, you know, gone into Albuquerque after the Kirk thing.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: They don't care.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, big ceremonies for King Charles Dinners receptions. I
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: see all the Democrats there, Pelosi. What happened to this
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: no kings thing? They're all over, slobbering all over King Charles.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: They love the King. I kind of like him. I
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: never met him, but you know, as an Irish Catholic
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: don't we take Jim view of the British Royalty, that's
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: for sure. But I don't think he's a bad man.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: He's done some good environmental work. I think he's got
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: problems with his kids, as everybody does. So he's over here,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: but he's only here for one reason, and that's to
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: patch up the NATO thing with Trump. That's the only
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: reason he's here, and I hope they do. We need
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the UK as our ally.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Hey Bill O'Reilly, you can go to Bill O'Reilly dot com.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: You can see his TV show, get his column the
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: message of the Day. Watch his YouTube channel. There's great
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: content there and the new podcast, We'll do It Live.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: The latest one is Janine Piro and what else you
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: got coming up on there?
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: We go week to week about I'm trying to contemporize it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: So we got lucky with Piro because she's deeply involved
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: now in the prosecution of this assassin and people didn't
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: really understand what she was doing there or what her
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: title was. Get lucky. But what I try to do
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: is we don't book ahead too much anymore. We're trying
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: to get right, cutting edge stuff and that's really working well.
• 33:39
