  Speaker 1: He knows his why around all this. It's the Mark
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Simone Show on seven to tenor well, hey it's Wednesday,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the big game Tonight Game four Madison Square Garden. Now
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: that's tonight, messer, and then it's back to Texas for Saturday. Right.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I don't understand the way they do the schedule for
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: these NBA Championships. Why they have to have three days
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: in between a game. Why they just play every night?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea. But so they'll play, well,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: no matter what happens tonight, they'll play Saturday in Texas,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and then it's another game in Texas, and then eventually
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: they come back to New York. We don't want to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: have to go seven games. We'd like them to wrap
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: it up and win the thing. But I would imagine
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: if you're the NBA or the television networks, you wouldn't
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: mind having to go seven games. There's a lot of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: money to be made. City in New York makes about
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: one hundred million on each game. All together, they made
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a thing. Estimating about five hundred million have been made
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in New York City off the knicks, off the spending, restaurants, hotels, merchandising,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. So the game is tonight
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: eight thirty. Again. They got that frozen zone. I don't
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: know why they're doing this. They're going to have the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Presidential frozen Zone. So from like five blocks in every
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: direction of the garden, no one's allowed in without a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: ticket or a reservation at a restaurant or something like that. So, hey,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a great woman died. Billy Tish Wilma Tish. She was
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the wife of Lawrence Tish Larry Tish. Remember the two
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Tish brothers, Bob and Larry Tish, the guys that built
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the empire, formed everything. They're both dead. Bob Tish's widow,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Joan Tish, died a few years ago. But Billy Tish
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the last of that generation, ninety eight years old and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest philanthropists in New York, you know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and you see the his name all over the place
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and buildings and museums and hospitals, very very generous. They
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: had a lot of children. She had a lot of children.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And then also she has fourteen grandchildren. One of them
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: is the police commissioner Jessica Tish. This is her grandmother
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: that passed away. She had fifteen great grandchildren, but a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: great woman did a lot of good for New York City. Hey,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Scott Pelley, I think they ought to bring him back,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: not to sixty minutes. CPS should give this guy a series.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: He has become great after being fired. He's the most
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: hysterical thing to watch. He's just this big, pompous blow hard.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: They should just put him on every night and have
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: somebody interview him. These interviews are hysterical watching him talk
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: about how he saved Private Ryan, how he was a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: war hero. I was in combat for this country. We
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: meant two seconds there as a reporter, heavily guarded by truth,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: these pompous statements, it's an amazing thing. I mean, I've
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: seen a lot of idiots in the broadcasting business, but
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: nothing quite like this guy. I mean, if you think
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: about what happened, A big, huge, enormous corporation bought CBS.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: They bought it, they own it. They put a new
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: person in charge of sixteen minutes, and this pampas idiot
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: goes storming in there. You cannot do this. I'm Scott Pelly,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and he actually said to the guy, why would you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: take this job when you're not welcome here? He's the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: new owner. He owns the place. This guy's the new boss,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: he's your boss. So of course they fired him. Actually
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: they didn't fire him instantly. The next day he did
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: this in front of everybody. The next day they offered
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to meet with him, Come meet with us in private,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and let's work this out. You know. They tried to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: save him. So he came and they met in private,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and he told them off again. You must get out immediately.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I'm Scott Pelly. You cannot touch any of course, they
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: had to fire him. What else are you gonna do?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: They fired Tanya Simon. She was the executive producer of
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Sixteen Minutes. Her father had been Bob Simon. You remember
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Bob Simon, the great reporter in correspondent for years on
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: sixteen Minutes. So in these interviews, he's great. Scott Pelly
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: is I thought Tanya Simon, because of her family history,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: was untouchable. What employee is untouchable? Why would you be untouchable?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I mean maybe if you were on the air and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you had the biggest ratings in the history of the world,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: maybe you were untouchable. But even then you're not. Remember
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Howard Stern on WNBC years million years ago, he had
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the biggest ratings ever in history, beyond anything ever anybody
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: ever had. He was totally dominated, the biggest ratings on earth.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: The whole station WNBC, all their revenue is from him. Hi,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you gonna fire a guy like that? Well, one day
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the chairman of RCA, which was then the parent company,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is listening and he hears lesbian dial it. He hears
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: something so disgusting he calls in. Grant Tinker, president of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: NBC which owned WNBC, said, Dot the hell is this?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: This is? We can't have this on it. We're a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: public company. Get this off the air. So Grant Tinker
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: goes to WNBC. He says, take that off the air,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and they explained to him it's he's ninety eight percent
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of our revenue. He's got the biggest ratings, a thousand
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: times bigger than anybody's there. We don't care where a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: major public company, billions of dollars at stick. We don't
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: care about one hundred million this guy brings in. Get
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: him off the air. So he was fired. Nobody's untouchable.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Nobody's but Scott Pelly. Somebody put together a little collage
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of some of his pompous moments and he would go
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: on the air and he had Trump arrangement syndrome. He
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: would declare Trump is the worst.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Is it appropriate to ask whether the president is having
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: difficulty with rationality? And the president can't seem to get
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: out of his own way because of his pensiant for falsehoods?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, rationality. Listen, the guy exaggerates, he's a salesman. He
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: can be, you know, a big mouth. He can get
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a little rough and tough with his comments. Sometimes rationality,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. The guy's pretty rational. Built a massive
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: international empire.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Is it appropriate to ask whether the president is having
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: difficulty with rationality?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think for you, Yeah, it's approb with the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: hell are you.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: To ask president can't seem to get out of his
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: own way because of his pensiant for falsehoods?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Now, yeah, of course, I mean, of course he lies
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: now and then he's a big businessman, he's a politician.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: But you just had for four years Joe Biden, who
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: was the biggest liar in the history of American politics,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and you never said a word. You kept quiet the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: whole time.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: It's too soon to tell how serious President Trump is
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: in defiance from the Constitution.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: He's defying the Constitution. I'm Scott Pelly. So but if
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you can't go watch this. He does a New York
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Times interview. It's about a half hour long. Every inch
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of it is so laughable. I was in combat for
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: this country. No, you weren't. Never in combat. Who is
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: President Trump to talk? I was in combat? Who was
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he to talk? He got a bullet in the head,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: He had the top of his ear taken off by it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: He was shot at. Give me times the he's been
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: shot at. There's been a three assassination attempts, a fourth
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: one with a bomb. Who the hell are you to talk,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Scott Pelly? You could see the job offers are not
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: exactly pouring in for Scott Pelly. But if I was seriously,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I would, if I were a network, I would hire
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: this guy and just have that woman interview him every
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: night so he could make these pompous declarations. You know
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: one thing about he's Ted Baxter times a million. At
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: least Ted Baxter had a sense of humor. At least
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he was cute. This guy. Hey, the Carmelo Anthony case
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: confusing to a lot of people because it's not the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: famous Carmelo Anthony. It's a kid named Carmelo Anthony spelled differently,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: but it was. He's seventeen and he brings a knife
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to a high school game, and I don't know. He
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: gets a fight with a guy and kills him. He
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: just stabs him. He just kills him. It's open and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: shut murder. He goes into court with absolutely no defense,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: there was no defense of any kind. Jury comes back
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: in two hours and convicts him. I mean, there was
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: no way not to convict him. It was an open
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and shut case. It's a definite conviction. Now, he said,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: trying to play the race card. He's trying to know
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. It was just out and out murder,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: just murder. There's nothing they can do. He will go
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to jail forever and ever. Well, he's only seventeen. He
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: could possibly get out at some point. But you know,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: if he's lucky, you'll get some kind of an Andrew
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Cuomo governor who changes the parole board to let everybody out.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: But terrible, terrible case. Hey, Tom Holman in a feud
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: with Governor hokel. Crazy Governor Hokeel. The target Homan's target
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: right now are not just any illegal migrant, but illegal
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: migrants who are committing crimes, who are criminals, who are
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: gang members, who are robbers, who are muggers, who are rapists.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: That's who he's going after. So many of them end
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: up in jail at some point. And what they do
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: in both places. You take Nassau County, where you got
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: like Bruce Blakeman, a very smart, common sense county executive.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: They cooperate with ICE. We've just picked up an illegal
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: alien who's a dangerous gang member, criminal, We've got them
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: in prison. Come pick them up, and they go to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the prison, and they take them out of there and
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: take them to their detention center. And Blakeman cooperates with ICE.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: That's why you see no problems in NASA County. Nothing
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: goes wrong there. They cooperate with ICE. They lend ICE detectives,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: local police whatever they need, lend them offices, they lend
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: them jail cells if they need them. That's the way
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: you do it. Local signs legislation that Holman cannot come
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: into any jail, he can't arrest anybody in jail. So
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: he announces he's gonna send in more ICE agents than
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you've ever seen anywhere. He's going to just send thousands
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: of ICE agents in here because if he can't go
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: into jail and arrest, you know, if you want to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: pick them up in jail, you send two guys. They
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: take his handcuffs off and put their handcuffs on, and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: they take them away, and then it's clean and easy.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: If you can't arrest them in jail, you're gonna have
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to arrest them on the street in their house, which
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: means you're going to need twenty agents surrounding the house
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: to get him out of there. It gets messy. But Holman,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: he's never had a deal with, is a wacko governor, and.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: We got Rikers Island in New York City. I int
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: agree with Mayor Adams to get back into Rucker's Island. Now,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: if you truly believe we have a right to arrest
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: and depoort criminals, they're in the country legally, don't Why
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: am I locked out of Rucker's Island? Why did you
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: keep releasing to the street.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's ridiculous at Mike, Mayor Adams, Boy, do we
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: miss that guy? Do you ever think you'd miss him
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: so much? Mayor Adams had an agreement with Homan. You
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: can come into the jails, take him from there. That way,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: there's no mess on the street, much easier to do. So.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I had a terrible situation, you sualy, the Central Park
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: horse just drops dead in the street. Now, from what
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: we hear, the horse was not abused or anything like that,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: but it was just a terrible situation. Horse fell down
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: in a minute.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: What did you do when that horse fell down?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I just come out. I tried to take it out
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and make him horse free to get up, and he
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: died in a two second. Okay, that's the guy, the owner.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: He sounds like a nice, responsible guy. But I don't know.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: There's too many horses in Central Park. It's too many
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: of these horses cut it down. I mean, it wasn't
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a particularly hot day yesterday, but that can happen. The
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: one thing you got to get rid of these petty cabs.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: These petty cabs, and they should not be allowed in
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the street. They should not be allowed in the streets,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: they should not be allowed in the park, they should
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: not be allowed in this country. They're absolutely disgusting. It's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: one thing to be a horse. You hear the clip
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: clop of the horse and you see the beautiful horse
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: in front of you. It's something romantic about that. It's
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: something very picturesque. But the petty cab, it's a filthy,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: disgusting metal metal thing. You're sitting in with the illegal
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: alien peddling, and he's got this boombox blasting ridiculous music
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: so loud. I mean, it's the stupidest thing in the world.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: The guy peddling as fast as he can and they
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: rob people. They get these tourists in there who aren't
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: clear on the price. Next thing you know, they try
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to get out. It's one hundred and fifty dollars, the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: illegal alien threatening to kill them if they don't pay it.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Get rid of all these petty cabs. How can we
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: have them because of a sleezeball politicians that allow this
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: this apparently there a petticab, a union association that makes
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: massive donations. But get rid of all of them. So,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: as I said, Game four is tonight. Got to stop
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: with the orange and the blue bagels. Hey, today's were delicious.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: They were from Liberty Bagels. We have these big begel buffets,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: but they're orange and blue. It tastes great, but you
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: have to close your eyes when you eat, because when
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you're eating a blue bagel, I don't know, just it
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't look right anyway. We'll take some calls next eight
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: hundred three to two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
