Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, hey, it's the final hour, three hours every day now,
- 0:03Speaker 1: nine to noon. Let's see if President Trump has finally
- 0:08Speaker 1: responded to Lindsey Clancy's lawyer. Remember, the lawyer asked President
- 0:14Speaker 1: Trump to pardon her. He asked for a presidential pardon.
- 0:18Speaker 1: The lawyer was kind of a bumbling old lawyer. He
- 0:22Speaker 1: hasn't had a very good track record. Somehow he stumbled
- 0:25Speaker 1: into this case and he got lucky here. He pulled
- 0:28Speaker 1: it off so far. But President Trump explaining to the
- 0:32Speaker 1: lawyer that he has no power to pardon her. It's
- 0:36Speaker 1: a state case. It's a local case. The president can
- 0:39Speaker 1: pardon on federal cases and federal charges. But it's a
- 0:44Speaker 1: local criminal case and he doesn't have the power to
- 0:46Speaker 1: pardon it. You would think a lawyer wouldn't need that
- 0:50Speaker 1: explained to him. But apparently this guy does. Hey, good
- 0:54Speaker 1: for Ed Sheeran. He's been on tour, stadiums, big stadiums
- 0:59Speaker 1: all over the world. Macklemore was on the tour. Macklemore
- 1:03Speaker 1: going into these ugly, disgusting, anti-Israel rants. Many venues refusing
- 1:11Speaker 1: to allow him to perform. So Ed Sheeran has thrown
- 1:14Speaker 1: him off the tour. He's out. But I don't know
- 1:19Speaker 1: how much of it was Ed Sheeran and how much
- 1:21Speaker 1: of it was the venues saying we're not going to
- 1:23Speaker 1: allow him to perform. So good news, though, is he's
- 1:28Speaker 1: gone off the tour. That's important. The Emmy Awards are tonight.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who actually cares. I don't know
- 1:37Speaker 1: anybody who actually still watches the Emmy Awards. It'll be
- 1:40Speaker 1: on NBC at 8 o'clock. I don't know if anybody
- 1:43Speaker 1: pays any attention to it anymore. Usually you try to
- 1:46Speaker 1: get a comedian to host. Keep it lively. Keep it fun.
- 1:50Speaker 1: But I don't think any comedian wants to host the
- 1:52Speaker 1: Emmy Awards. So it's going to be Marissa Haggerty. who
- 1:56Speaker 1: is on Law & Order for 100 years and looks it.
- 1:59Speaker 1: But the problem is you used to get the biggest star.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Johnny Carson would host the Emmys. Bob Hope would do
- 2:07Speaker 1: the Oscars. These were enormous superstars that everybody knew. But
- 2:12Speaker 1: there's no such thing anymore. No such thing anymore. Marissa Hargaday,
- 2:16Speaker 1: when she walks out on stage, it's going to be
- 2:19Speaker 1: mostly older people watching, but if it was an audience
- 2:22Speaker 1: like nobody under 30, 40, would know who she is.
- 2:26Speaker 1: And nobody watches all these different shows. There's too many shows.
- 2:30Speaker 1: There's thousands and thousands and thousands of shows. It's not
- 2:34Speaker 1: like the 1980s or even the 90s where everybody saw
- 2:38Speaker 1: Seinfeld and the next day you could all talk about it.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Or everybody saw Cheers. We all knew who Norm and
- 2:44Speaker 1: Cliff were. Or everybody back then saw Law & Order.
- 2:50Speaker 1: And you knew who Jerry Orbach was. Today it's all splintered.
- 2:56Speaker 1: There's 400 shows currently streaming. I don't care who you
- 3:00Speaker 1: talk to, whatever show they're watching you never heard of.
- 3:03Speaker 1: When you tell them about your show, they never heard
- 3:05Speaker 1: of it. So it's tough to do the Emmys tonight.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Very tough to watch. Tune in for a second. Bet
- 3:11Speaker 1: you won't know what's going on. Hey, remember we told
- 3:14Speaker 1: you Hunter Biden came out with this crypto, this crypto coin.
- 3:20Speaker 1: It was a money-making scheme. I guess nobody's buying the
- 3:23Speaker 1: paintings anymore. And people invested like crazy and lost a fortune.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Four out of five investors got wiped out by his crypto.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Some mystery trader got in at just the right second
- 3:39Speaker 1: and got out at just the right second and got
- 3:42Speaker 1: a million bucks. But outside of that, everybody lost everything,
- 3:45Speaker 1: got wiped out. The name of the coin is Laptop.
- 3:49Speaker 1: This guy's got a lot of nerve. You got to
- 3:51Speaker 1: give him that. Laptop. He might as well have called
- 3:56Speaker 1: the coin drug addict, crack addict. Anyway, he's trying to
- 4:03Speaker 1: explain what happened. He said the issue became, he said
- 4:07Speaker 1: it was a F-up. He used the actual F-word. Biden
- 4:12Speaker 1: claimed the issue began shortly after trading started on Wednesday
- 4:16Speaker 1: because the project's market maker supplied significantly less liquidity than
- 4:21Speaker 1: needed to handle the initial demand. Yeah, in other words,
- 4:24Speaker 1: It's Hunter Biden. Whoever made that million real fast, probably
- 4:28Speaker 1: somebody connected with him. It was all a scheme. It
- 4:32Speaker 1: bombed completely. That's the end of it. Hey, if you
- 4:36Speaker 1: live in Long Island, I'm sure you know Ohika Castle.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Ohika Castle was built by Gus Kahn, and it's like
- 4:43Speaker 1: a Great Gatsby Castle. Where is that exactly? Is that Woodbury?
- 4:48Speaker 1: I think it's Woodbury. And it's been there for a
- 4:51Speaker 1: hundred years and it's got incredible grounds. It's a big castle.
- 4:55Speaker 1: It's kind of run down. The guy that owns it's
- 4:58Speaker 1: a sort of a shabby guy who let it, uh, uh,
- 5:01Speaker 1: it's a little run down, but it's still a big, uh,
- 5:04Speaker 1: they've got a restaurant there, but it's a big venue
- 5:06Speaker 1: for weddings, for all sorts of stuff. They got hotel
- 5:09Speaker 1: rooms there too. Anthony, uh, uh, um, well, there were
- 5:15Speaker 1: a lot of famous weddings there. Uh, A number of celebrities,
- 5:19Speaker 1: a lot of parties there. It's up for auction. The
- 5:24Speaker 1: owner is in bankruptcy. He said the debt's too heavy.
- 5:27Speaker 1: He can't carry it. So if you want, Oheka Castle.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Concierge Auctions will be auctioning it off October 27th. The
- 5:36Speaker 1: auction will be in person or virtually in New York City.
- 5:42Speaker 1: The owner says he owes about $ 60 million in investment to...
- 5:48Speaker 1: to the investment firm Takana Capital hands it. So if
- 5:51Speaker 1: you like Oheka Castle, it's going to be auctioned off
- 5:54Speaker 1: October 27th. We've got a lot of wealthy listeners here.
- 5:57Speaker 1: A lot of wealthy listeners. If you want to buy it,
- 6:00Speaker 1: it's up for auction. So take a look at it. Now,
- 6:04Speaker 1: the price of oil is spiking. It was pretty good
- 6:07Speaker 1: throughout this Iran conflict. And it would go up a little.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Not much, but now it's spiking. It's $ 103 a gallon.
- 6:13Speaker 1: That's spiking. That's high. That's the WTI, which is what
- 6:19Speaker 1: we use. America uses WTI. That's West Texas oil. The world,
- 6:25Speaker 1: a lot of the rest of the world, uses Brent crude.
- 6:28Speaker 1: That is now $ 108, 000. So this is very, very high.
- 6:31Speaker 1: You're going to see the price of oil go up
- 6:34Speaker 1: in the next week or two. Not good for the president,
- 6:39Speaker 1: but when this is over, it'll come crashing down. Same
- 6:43Speaker 1: thing happened during the Iraq war. It went up this high,
- 6:46Speaker 1: and then when it was over, It came crashing down
- 6:49Speaker 1: to like $ 42 a gallon, which is incredibly low. Hey,
- 6:53Speaker 1: for our Myrtle Beach listeners, we have a lot of
- 6:55Speaker 1: listeners in Myrtle Beach. Our caller, who we love, Rich
- 6:58Speaker 1: from Myrtle Beach, kept complaining it's going to be 100 today.
- 7:01Speaker 1: And he's done that a few times. Many of them
- 7:04Speaker 1: writing in saying it's not 100. It's going to be
- 7:07Speaker 1: 92 today. That's the high. It's never hit 100 all summer. Yeah,
- 7:11Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Myrtle Beach weather. 92 today. Mid-80s
- 7:15Speaker 1: the rest of the week. So it's not 100. Hey,
- 7:19Speaker 1: Legionnaires disease outbreak in the Bronx and now an outbreak
- 7:22Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium. Although the Yankees say they've cleaned it up.
- 7:26Speaker 1: They've got rid of the Legionnaires in the cooling tower.
- 7:32Speaker 1: So they've eliminated that. That's a dangerous place for it
- 7:35Speaker 1: because it's airborne and you got 50,000 people sitting right there.
- 7:41Speaker 1: So far, no reports of any cases. So that's good. Hey,
- 7:47Speaker 1: the crazy New York Times, which is the most inaccurate
- 7:50Speaker 1: fake news, total fake news, they just make up crap.
- 7:57Speaker 1: And then when they're not making up crap, they do
- 7:59Speaker 1: these totally biased pieces. So there's a 35-year-old guy. He's
- 8:05Speaker 1: like a vendor, a sidewalk vendor. He may be here illegally.
- 8:10Speaker 1: I'm not sure. But the New York Times went and
- 8:12Speaker 1: did a profile on him. He's 35. And it was
- 8:16Speaker 1: a gushing, flattering profile of this guy. And it's illegal
- 8:21Speaker 1: what he does on the street. It's like an illegal
- 8:23Speaker 1: street market. And he hawks stuff, sells off stuff. Illegal
- 8:28Speaker 1: vendor on the street, not licensed. And supposedly it's for goodwill.
- 8:34Speaker 1: It's for charity, sells clothes for charity. Stands right in
- 8:36Speaker 1: front of the Goodwill store. And the New York Times
- 8:40Speaker 1: did a wonderful glowing piece on what a saint this
- 8:43Speaker 1: guy is, what a wonderful guy this guy is. He's
- 8:47Speaker 1: part of a regular vending operation. It's a bunch of rogue,
- 8:50Speaker 1: pretty much illegal, totally illegal, crooked vending operation. They actually
- 8:55Speaker 1: call it hoodwill because the truth is they con people.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Good Samaritans drop off clothes and shoes thinking it's going
- 9:03Speaker 1: to charity, going to goodwill. It's not. It's a whole
- 9:05Speaker 1: con operation. But the New York Times didn't say that.
- 9:10Speaker 1: They made it sound like this is a wonderful guy.
- 9:12Speaker 1: They promoted him. They urged people to go see him.
- 9:16Speaker 1: They talked about him like he was just wonderful and
- 9:18Speaker 1: gushing all over the guy. Not only is it an
- 9:20Speaker 1: illegal operation and they don't give the money to charity,
- 9:24Speaker 1: but it turns out the guy himself is a registered
- 9:26Speaker 1: high-risk sex offender with a long rap sheet. They forgot
- 9:31Speaker 1: to mention that in the story. Now, the New York
- 9:34Speaker 1: Times is conceding that they now realize he's a crook,
- 9:39Speaker 1: he's a sex offender, he's a criminal with a past,
- 9:44Speaker 1: so they're They're not apologizing, but they are confessing to
- 9:48Speaker 1: it a little. Bill Maher, good for him. He's going
- 9:52Speaker 1: after the media. As Michael Goodwin was talking about last hour,
- 9:57Speaker 1: trying to weaponize 9-11, trying to use it. against Trump,
- 10:01Speaker 1: trying to pretend there's all kinds of anti-Muslim problems going on.
- 10:05Speaker 1: They're not. If you look at the hate crimes and attacks,
- 10:08Speaker 1: it's almost all against Jews, not Muslims. But Bill Maher
- 10:13Speaker 1: going after the media for refusing to call the 9-11
- 10:16Speaker 1: attacks terrorism. Told you last week, the Canadian broadcasting, the CBC,
- 10:23Speaker 1: the big network of Canada, ordered the people not to
- 10:26Speaker 1: call it terrorism, to call it a plane hijacking, a
- 10:31Speaker 1: hijacking that ended in a plane crash. They're not allowed
- 10:34Speaker 1: to say terrorism. Well, it turns out the BBC, pretty
- 10:37Speaker 1: much the same thing. The BBC does not want to
- 10:41Speaker 1: call it terrorism. According to the BBC, it's a barrier
- 10:46Speaker 1: to understanding. And as Mars says, it's a barrier to
- 10:50Speaker 1: understanding lying. And good for him going after the media
- 10:54Speaker 1: who just refused to, I mean, can you imagine? They're
- 10:59Speaker 1: always trying to rewrite history. But to rewrite 9-11, I mean,
- 11:03Speaker 1: that's the one thing you can't argue with. Hey, speaking
- 11:06Speaker 1: of 9-11, at the ceremony on Friday, Rudy Giuliani was
- 11:10Speaker 1: seen shaking hands with Mamdani. Giuliani said, you know, people
- 11:15Speaker 1: are moving along. And all of a sudden, next thing
- 11:16Speaker 1: you know, he's facing the guy. And Mamdani put his
- 11:20Speaker 1: hand out to shake hands, and Giuliani said, it was
- 11:24Speaker 1: the right thing to do. You're at the 9-11 ceremony.
- 11:26Speaker 1: He can't get rude with anybody. So he said it
- 11:30Speaker 1: was just the appropriate thing to do. So he shook
- 11:32Speaker 1: his hand. But they were seen talking. What did he
- 11:35Speaker 1: actually say to him? He said, I said to him,
- 11:38Speaker 1: I said to Mamdani, I pray for you all the time.
- 11:42Speaker 1: And he said Mamdani responded by saying, thank you. Ha!
- 11:47Speaker 1: But they got these body language people and these lip
- 11:50Speaker 1: readers who studied the video. And they said Giuliani's eyebrows
- 11:55Speaker 1: are up. They go up in recognition and acknowledgement. But
- 11:59Speaker 1: his frown grows the longer they shake hands. He said
- 12:02Speaker 1: you could see he wasn't happy about the connection. Hey,
- 12:07Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar, Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary,
- 12:13Speaker 1: Mark Wayne Mullen said, It appears to them she did
- 12:17Speaker 1: marry her brother. She married her brother as part of
- 12:20Speaker 1: an alleged fraudulent immigration scheme and can face deportation. So
- 12:25Speaker 1: they're working on that. This brother now lives in London.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Omar became a citizen in 2000. You know, she was
- 12:33Speaker 1: only 17 at the time. But they believe she did
- 12:36Speaker 1: indeed marry her brother. They will try to get her
- 12:40Speaker 1: out of the country based on that. And that should happen.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Wheels of justice grind very, very slowly. So it should
- 12:49Speaker 1: happen at some point. So what's the toughest place to
- 12:53Speaker 1: buy a house right now? Like where the demand is
- 12:55Speaker 1: the greatest. Like if you wanted to move there, you'd
- 12:57Speaker 1: have a lot of trouble finding a house. Toughest place
- 13:00Speaker 1: in America right now to find a house. Demand is
- 13:03Speaker 1: so great and the supply is running out. Where is it? No,
- 13:08Speaker 1: it's not Florida. It's the New York City suburbs. The
- 13:13Speaker 1: New York City suburbs, people are moving out like crazy.
- 13:16Speaker 1: And the number one is Long Island. Long Island homeowners,
- 13:20Speaker 1: if you're trying to sell a home right now, very easy.
- 13:23Speaker 1: People are fleeing the city to the suburbs, to Long Island.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Long Island just got the most, crowned the single strongest
- 13:31Speaker 1: seller's market anywhere in the country right now, Nassau County especially.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Biggest sellers, biggest demand. People want to get out of
- 13:40Speaker 1: the city, be near Manhattan. And Long Island, number one there. Hey,
