  Speaker 1: Now seor presents no Mark Simon Shaw.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, what's today Thursday? It's almost Friday? Almost a rain
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: later today, it should be nice tomorrow. The We got
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: a lot to get to. There's another change the President
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: has made to the White House that's going to get
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the left all crazy. We'll get to who's gonna replace
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Caroline Leavitt. We'll get to a big setback, possibly for
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hokele. Another one from mom. Donnie, Harry and Meghan
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: are leaving. So see there is some good news, and
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: get them the hell out of this country. Assa, that's
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the senator that's been viciously tearing into Donald Trump, getting
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of pushback from Democrats. We'll get to all
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: of that coming up. Let's see a price of oil
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: up a little. It's up two dollars to eighty eight
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: dollars a barrel. Let's creeping up there. Still not anywhere
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: near Biden territory, but it'll come down straight to hoorn
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Moose is actually open now, not all of it, it's
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: half open. The southern route, that's the part along the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: coast of Oman that's open. About nine million barrels are
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: coming through there every day. Normally it's twenty million, so
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: about half the usual oil flow, and tankers are coming
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: through the Straight of horn Moose.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: President Trump, we have possession complete control of the strait,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I mean outside of nuisance value, and there is nuisance
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: value when they shoot a droned every once in a while,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and not everybody's going to go through, but they come through.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but straight is open nine million barrels. You know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: since the war started and they closed the Straight of
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: horm Moose, we've gotten one thousand ships through the strait.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: A thousand ships have come through there. Just in May,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: around seventy ships came through, and the number has been
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: increasing all the time. So oil is flowing. That's one
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: reason the price of oil it's creeping up a little bit.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: That's one reason that hasn't spiked a lot. Now this
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: isn't cheap. It adds a little to our cost because
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: to get all these ships through, they got to be
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: protected by other ships, US Navy ships, helicopters, planes to
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: intercept attacks and all of that. But straight is half open.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Oil half the usual amount is flowing through the Straight
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: of Hormose. And remember, within two years there'll be no
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: more Straight of Horse oil at all, it'll be no
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: such thing. Every Gulf state country frantically building pipelines and
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: other routes so that they'll never again ever use the
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: straight of hormose to transport oil. That'll happen just country
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: by country, bit by bit, and within two years straightuh
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: hormose totally irrelevant. So the president, you know, every time
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: he makes a change to the White House, the left
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: goes nuts. You had the Rose Garden where they had
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: all the Rose Garden events. Now the Rose Garden had
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a few roses around, but it was basically just a
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: lot of grass. And when you'd have a press conference
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: out there or a cocktail party out there, it's on grass.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: A lot of times it had rained, The grass was wet,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: it was muddy. Not to mention, if you bring three
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: hundred people out there for an event and bring a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: couple hundred folding chairs out there, you screw up the grass.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So it was always a mess. President Trump came up
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: with the idea of fixing that. Now, the fake news
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: will tell you he paved over the rose. It didn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: pave over it. He put in the most beautiful slate
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and marble. It's kind of like in mar a Lago.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: They have that outdoor patio. It's the most beautiful marble
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: and slate and granite. It's beautiful. And he did the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: same thing at the Rose Garden and it's really beautiful.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: He put a ton of drains in it so that
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it never floods. And if you look at the drains,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the little slats and the holes in it are designed
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to look like the American flag. It's beauty. It's magnificent
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: work and it looks much better now. And instead of
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the folding chairs, he got this beautiful outdoor furniture. So
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: now when they do an event in the Rose Garden,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: it's absolutely magnificent. They do dinners there in the summer.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: They call it the Club under the Stars. They entertain
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Congress world leaders. It's beautiful. So the other thing is
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the helicopter's land You know, the President is always taking
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a helicopter and it's not even a normal helicopter. It's
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Marine one. It's the heaviest helicopter you have ever seen.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: And when it lands, it lands on grass on the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: south lawn. This big, heavy helicopter lands on the grass,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: takes off on the grass, and it always destroys the grass.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of heat coming out of
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: that helicopter and fans and heat blowing. It kills the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: grass whenever it comes up and down. So you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the President is a master builder. He's one of the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: great builders in America. So as he's living in the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: White House, every time he looks around he sees something
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: that could be improved, and the idea of not having
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: a helipad, a heliport and the big White House grounds
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: seem crazy to him. If you're always come and going
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: in helicopters, and it's not just the President, but world
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: leaders other people are often brought in by helicopter. If
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you got helicopters constantly landing on your property, why would
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: you not put in a helipad. So he finally did it,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and he did it quick. They built the whole thing
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: in like two days. He got the best people in
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the world to do it. And it's it's granite and
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff. It's not even regular granted, it's
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: some kind of special white California granite. It's actually designed
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to withstand thirty five thousand pounds of pressure per square inch.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It's the strongest in the world, much stronger than concrete,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and it's so beautiful, this granite. They had the presidential
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: seal carved into. Its magnificent looking. So instead of just
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: being a heliport, they'll also use it for cocktail parties.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: It's a big, big circle. They'll use it for events,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: so it's very useful. It's a brilliant addition to the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: White House. Now, of course the left wing going nuts.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: How much should it cost? Well, it costs five million dollars,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: it's tax payer Well no, it's not taxpayer money. Sikorsky
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Aircraft paid for it. It's their helicopters. They make the helicopters.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: They have a contract to make the helicopters, and it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: better for the helicopter to land on something solid than
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: on grass. Now, the current Marine one is a VH
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: nine to two to a Patriot helicopter, which is extremely heavy,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: generates a tremendous amount of exhaust heat that would always
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: damage the grass every time it lands. So it just
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: made sense. It's the perfect thing to do. You'll probably
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: hear a lot of controversy he's wasting money building all
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: these silly things, but it's a great thing to do.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: They're actually still working on it. They'll finish it pretty soon,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and they want it already and all set for President
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Cheese arrival by helicopter. And then you know that's on
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the south one. If you go up towards the entrance
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: there there's a crummy pavement driveway. He's replacing that with
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: a granite plaza, much better looking, much much better. Look
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: it was just a plain asphalt driveway, so he's gonna
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: have a much better one. With those stanchions along the set,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: it'll look magnificent, much better for state arrivals. And again
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: it's another area you can have cocktail parties on and everything.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: So now, and guess who's gonna put the grass in
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Scott's you know Scott's Turf. That company, well, they apparently
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: make all kinds of grass. They've agreed to come and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: they'll pay for it. They're going to put in the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: finest grass anywhere. So, I mean, these are improvements. You're
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: gonna hear a lot of flack about it, but they're improvements.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I love construction. I love seeing things properly taken care of.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Is you know we've redone the colonnade going to the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Oval Office. We put the black grunted down and now
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: we're out here. So for fifty years more than that,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they've wanted to have a heliport, but nobody knew how
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to go about it. And we are building a great heliport.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even if you hate President Trump, take advantage of
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the He's a magnificent builder. He's one of the great
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: builders in the world. Let them fix the place, let
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: them rebuild everything, let them improve everything. They've wanted a
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: heliport for fifty years. But normally, any other president, anybody
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: in government, any politician, you want a heliport, you form
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: a heliport committee. Then you put together a heliport commission,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and then it goes to a heliport subcommittee, and then
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: it goes to Congress, and it goes through nine committees,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and it takes twenty years, and within four years that
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: president's gone and everybody forgets about it. So, hey, South Carolina,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be a tough race. Lindsey Graham died, the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: President appoints his the governor appoints his sister to take over,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Darlene Graham, and the President endorses her urges people to
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: vote for her as the next senator. But she has
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: her first debate and it was disaster, real disaster, not
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Bloomberg type disaster. The biggest presidential debate disaster was I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: don't know it was people say Gerald Ford against Carter
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Ford didn't seem to know where Eastern Europe was. You
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: got the countries mixed up. Okay, that was embarrassing the
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: president of Kamala Harris. But the worst debate performance I've
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: ever seen in history was Bloomberg when Elizabeth Warren just
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: tore him apart, just leveled him. Then they had a
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: second debate, and they gave Bloomberg a bunch of good
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: lines to hit her with, and every time he tried
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: to recite the line, you could see he was trying
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to remember it and it was memorized. She just leveled
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: him again, and every time she crushed Bloomberg. Go watch it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: It's just type Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren and YouTube. Just watch it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: It's hysterical. Bloomberg becomes a chef of the future. Haamana haamanah.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I know what to say, but this was pretty embarrassing.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: It's Darlene Graham and it's a debate Newsmax. Greta Van Sustron,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: one of the people doing the questions She later said
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: she felt bad about this, but it was a simple
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: foreign policy question China Taiwan, and she asks Starling Graham
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: in the debate, how important is it national security wise.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Senator, Are Taiwan in the South China Sea national security
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: issues for the United States? If so, why? I'm sorry,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: could you repeat the question, Are Taiwan and the South
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: China Sea national security issues for the United States? And
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: if so, why or how? I'm just going to be
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: honest to here. I'm not on national security that I'm
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: not that informed on national security. So but I do
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: support the military.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not good. It's not as bad as the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: some of those other people I mentioned, because as ignorant
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: as she says, she sounds like a very nice woman,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: a very sincere nice woman.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to be honest to here. I'm not
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: on national security that I'm not informed on national securities.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's pretty bad, But you know any other politician,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: any politician who would say, I'm just gonna be honest,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know the answer. I should know,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: but I don't know what politician's honest enough to say that.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: But I know, I know you can't be in office
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: if you don't know anything about foreign policy. But on
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: the other hand, you've got people in office who don't
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: know anything about economics, anything about Look at these people
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: with their socialism. They have no clue as to the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: history of socialism that all ten thousand times has been tried,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: it's failed, It makes absolutely no sense. So I mean
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: they're just as ignorant about other things. Or you got
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: people in office who want to defund the police. They
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: have no idea what the consequences are or what that does.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, totally crazy, just insane. Look at Cuomo with
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: his no bail, no jail. This is the most ignorant
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: policy in the world. Cuomo with his let's close all
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: the prisons, let the prisoners there was crazy, absolutely crazy.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: So hey, sixty minutes, they got to Barry Weiss in charge.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: They're making all kinds of changes, bringing in new correspondence
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: sixty minutes. If you go back twenty years ago, even thirties,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: it was like the number one show in television, something
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: like sixty five million people watched every Sunday night. Now
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: you're lucky if it's two million, three million. I know
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: they'll say, oh, sometimes we have five million. Yeah, it's
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: right after a big football game as a lead in.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: When there's no football, it plunges. So he's trying. Barry
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Wits trying to get it back to the old sixty Minutes.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: You know, they were superstar correspondents. It was Mike Wallace
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and Harry Reasoner. I mean, they were just superstars. And
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: you look at sixteen minutes now, I don't know any
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: of these. Bill Whittaker, Who the hell is Bill Whittaker.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Bill Whittaker, he should have been a bank robber because
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: nobody can remember him. Nobody can remember what he looks like.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: The witnesses couldn't tell you anything. It's just a dull
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: guy in the world. Who else is on sixty minutes?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: You see? I don't know do you ever think could
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: see a time wer? Nobody? Oh Leslie Stall, this old, old,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: ninety year old crow. So she's trying to Burry White's
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: trying to get this back. She just hired a writer
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: from The New Yorker. You know, for all this talk
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: of Barry Weis's this conservative. She's not a conservative, She's
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: a Democrat. She's a liberal. Nothing is more slanted left
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: wing than the New Yorker. She just hired somebody from there.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: But she's got another idea.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: You remember, one of the other big things of sixty
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: minutes was Andy Rooney. That was like the most famous
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: feature at the end of sixty minutes. Andy Rooney would
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: do that segment and it was great. It was great.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: So she wants to bring that back. You remember they
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: used to call it a few Minutes with Andy Rooney
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and then he would do these segments where he would
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: just anything in his desk. Why did they call it
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: a typewriter? That kind of stuff? Did you ever notice that?
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: That kind of stuff? So she wants to bring that back.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Yet it's no real Andy Rooney around. So apparently she
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: wants Jerry Seinfeld. You know, he's perfect, He's the king
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: of Hey, did you ever notice or why do they
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: call it ovalty? You know, he's perfect. Seinfeld says he
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: will not do it. I mean, guys, also the biggest comedian,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: most famous comedian on earth. He's not going to come
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: to a two minute segment for sixty minutes. The other
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: one they want is John Cleese apparently, and they say
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: they've talked to all these people and I'm naming here.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Cleese is very interested John Cleese. Yeah, I guess he'd
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: be good. Yeah, he'd be good. He'd be like an
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Andy Rooney type. The other one they're talking to is
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: stephen A. Smith. This doesn't make any sense. First of all,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the idea of Andy Rooney. He was like an old
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: news guy, an old Lou Grant news guy, and he
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: was in a rumpled suit in this cluttered office like
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: a Lou Grant. That's not Stephen A. Smith is wearing
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: like a ten thousand dollars suit. Looks as slick as
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: can be. Also, too much yelling from him. You know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: he always starts off then by the by the end
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: he's yelling and screaming. So that's that's not going to
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: work on in sixty minutes. But Clease seems the most interested.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Watch it end up being John Cleise. It's in the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: fifty ninth season. Fifty nine years that show has been on. No,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: that's not the longest running show. Meet the Press still
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: holds the record Meet the Press longest running show ever. Hey,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: all the new Apple products are coming out coming out
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: in September, but there's some controversy over the new air pods,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: and I can see why. We'll get to that we'll
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: get to Harry and Megan being thrown the hell out
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: of the country and that's good news. And we'll get
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: to a Hochel and her latest embarrassment, and a whole
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: lot more just ahead. Don't forget I'm on nine to
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: noon every day. Well you're listening obviously, you know I'm
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: on nine to noon, nine to noon every day, and
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: we'll get to all of that stuff and more coming
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: up next on seven to ten. W oh uh.
