- 0:08Speaker 1: now if you just tune it in and in case
- 0:10Speaker 1: you don't know, it's three hours every day, nine to
- 0:13Speaker 1: noon every day. We now start at nine o'clock nine
- 0:15Speaker 1: to noon every day. Hey, our old buddy Frankie Valley.
- 0:19Speaker 1: We were talking about him last week. People are asking
- 0:20Speaker 1: how he's doing. All kinds of medical problems. He had
- 0:24Speaker 1: to cancel the tour and he has not rescheduled any
- 0:29Speaker 1: but I don't think he'll I don't think he'll see
- 0:31Speaker 1: him tour again. He's a guy who's had heart trouble
- 0:34Speaker 1: through the years, a lot of bypasses and stints and
- 0:37Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and a lot of medical
- 0:41Speaker 1: stuff through the years. And he told me once he's
- 0:44Speaker 1: a very very very tiny guy. He's little and extremely
- 0:48Speaker 1: tiny and thin. And he told me, I never thought
- 0:50Speaker 1: about this that when that's the case, your arteries are
- 0:54Speaker 1: also extremely thin as well. So the slightest little thing
- 0:58Speaker 1: can give you a block it. So that's why he's
- 0:59Speaker 1: had a lot of trouble through the years. But people
- 1:02Speaker 1: were asking about him. He's had to cancel all touring.
- 1:05Speaker 1: But he was spotted in Los Angeles yesterday actually going out.
- 1:11Speaker 1: He did not look good. It didn't look great. He
- 1:15Speaker 1: had to be helped out of the car. He looked
- 1:17Speaker 1: much much older. He's ninety two and finally really looks
- 1:21Speaker 1: it looks even older actually, and he was spotted being
- 1:24Speaker 1: helped out of his car in Los Angeles holding on
- 1:27Speaker 1: to somebody for assistance. He used the guy out of
- 1:31Speaker 1: the car. They went to, actually, the two of them
- 1:34Speaker 1: were going to breakfast. They went to the Nook. Now
- 1:39Speaker 1: the Nook is a great place in Los Angeles, one
- 1:41Speaker 1: of the best brunch breakfast places, bacon, eggs, everything. But
- 1:45Speaker 1: I give your heart patient and I think you're not
- 1:47Speaker 1: supposed to be eating at the Nook, but it is great.
- 1:51Speaker 1: But he is out and about and that's good news.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Going out to breakfast. That's a good sign. Hey, Lindsey
- 1:56Speaker 1: Graham who died. Of course, they renamed the base. He's
- 2:01Speaker 1: in South Carolina, and they renamed the Charleston, South Carolina
- 2:04Speaker 1: Military Base after Lindsey Graham. It's now the Lindsey Graham Base,
- 2:09Speaker 1: which means all the planes that fly out of there
- 2:11Speaker 1: will have the Graham name on the plane. Here's Pete
- 2:14Speaker 1: hegsas those great tails. Let's say Charleston. Now when they
- 2:18Speaker 1: land in far from places will say Graham. The world
- 2:22Speaker 1: will remember that name. Yeah. No, it's a nice tribute
- 2:25Speaker 1: to Lindsey Graham. So, my fellow Americans, it is my
- 2:27Speaker 1: honor to say, welcome to joint Base Lindsay Graham. Hey,
- 2:32Speaker 1: God bless the United States. Thank you. They got to
- 2:36Speaker 1: get rid of that joint base. I don't like that
- 2:38Speaker 1: joint base. You know, it used to be Andrew's Air
- 2:40Speaker 1: Force Base. That sounded pretty cool. And he's going to
- 2:42Speaker 1: Andrews Air Force Base. He's going to joint base Andrews.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Either it sounds like it's weed like joint base, or
- 2:51Speaker 1: it just sounds like a joint It doesn't. I mean,
- 2:53Speaker 1: a joint is either a pot or it's a dingy,
- 2:57Speaker 1: crummy place, a joint joint base. It just sounds stupid.
- 3:02Speaker 1: RFK Junior. You know, this guy could actually save a
- 3:05Speaker 1: lot of lives. Unlike Fauci. If you look at everything
- 3:09Speaker 1: disease and all kinds of illness, it was nothing and
- 3:15Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I got a million times
- 3:16Speaker 1: worse than the eighties, nineties, seventies that you know, if
- 3:19Speaker 1: you go back to the fifties and sixties, everybody was
- 3:21Speaker 1: eating potato chips and candy bars and drinking soda. It
- 3:24Speaker 1: was this NonStop junk that was the whole diet. Well,
- 3:27Speaker 1: why weren't they all getting sick? Why weren't they all
- 3:29Speaker 1: having problems eating junk day and night? Because the junk
- 3:32Speaker 1: was different back then. It was healthier. A candy bar.
- 3:36Speaker 1: It was chocolate and caramel. And if you get a
- 3:39Speaker 1: candy bar now, it's a million chemicals. It's processed food.
- 3:45Speaker 1: It's overly processed. You know, when you read the ingredients,
- 3:50Speaker 1: you don't even know what how these words are. It's
- 3:52Speaker 1: like all these crazy words that some of the ingredients
- 3:54Speaker 1: have ingredients. So if you could get this stuff out
- 3:57Speaker 1: of the food and make it like fifties and sixties,
- 4:00Speaker 1: these potato chips and candy bars, people would be much healthier.
- 4:03Speaker 1: And that's something RFK Junior and good for him, been
- 4:05Speaker 1: pushing this for years.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Research is linked to high consumption of ulge process food
- 4:09Speaker 2: to inflammation and to chronic diseases, including type two diabetes
- 4:15Speaker 2: and heart disease and Alzheimer's disease. Researchers and federal agencies
- 4:20Speaker 2: still lack a common definition federal definition of ulte process food.
- 4:26Speaker 1: He's probably right. You know, you back in a million
- 4:28Speaker 1: years ago, you don't remember everybody getting Alzheimer's or everybody
- 4:32Speaker 1: having all these problems. It's that processed food. He's got
- 4:34Speaker 1: to do something. So good for RFK Junior.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Nearly sixty percent of American diet is made up of
- 4:39Speaker 2: ultra processed foods. For our kids, it can be up
- 4:42Speaker 2: to seventy percent. OBEs that he now affects more than
- 4:46Speaker 2: one in five American children. More than seventy percent of
- 4:50Speaker 2: American adults are obese or overweight. The cause are spiritual, physical,
- 4:57Speaker 2: and financial.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Yeah, good for him, President Trump. In case you haven't heard,
- 5:03Speaker 1: remember in Turkey, he was leaving Turkey and they switched
- 5:07Speaker 1: Air Force ones to the old plane because the new
- 5:10Speaker 1: one didn't have enough missile defense. While all of a sudden,
- 5:13Speaker 1: the worry, Well, it turned out that we figured it
- 5:17Speaker 1: was some kind of threat, maybe Iran. But it turns
- 5:19Speaker 1: out Israel found out about a very serious plot from
- 5:26Speaker 1: Iran to blow up or take out Air Force one
- 5:28Speaker 1: or something when it left Turkey, probably by a missile
- 5:33Speaker 1: because the new plane doesn't have full missile defense, So
- 5:36Speaker 1: they went back to the old one. But it turns
- 5:38Speaker 1: out it was quite a secret operation President Trump. When
- 5:42Speaker 1: we saw him leave Turkey, we saw him go up
- 5:43Speaker 1: the stairs into Air Force One. What we didn't see
- 5:47Speaker 1: was he went down into the back, went through the
- 5:50Speaker 1: cargo opening and got into the catering truck with a
- 5:53Speaker 1: couple of aids, and that catering truck took him to
- 5:56Speaker 1: another part of the airport where he got into a
- 5:58Speaker 1: military plane and left that way, and then regular Air
- 6:04Speaker 1: Force One with the President Rahils took off. So Democrats
- 6:07Speaker 1: are going nuts. We talked about this earlier, but they
- 6:10Speaker 1: are going crazy with the memes, the jokes about as
- 6:14Speaker 1: one calling him a scared little bitch. They're going on
- 6:18Speaker 1: and on and they say the other thing, all the memes,
- 6:21Speaker 1: all the ridiculous memes, and now the MSNBC, CNN crowd
- 6:27Speaker 1: they're all over the airwaves today about it's a huge
- 6:30Speaker 1: win for Iran. It's a propaganda victory from Iran. The plant,
- 6:34Speaker 1: the President looking scared, hiding running. Hey, I don't think
- 6:39Speaker 1: he's going to be able to make that case. Butler, Pennsylvania.
- 6:43Speaker 1: The guy gets shot at. A couple of bullets whizzen
- 6:45Speaker 1: by his head. One hits him on the ear, you
- 6:48Speaker 1: get hit with an assassin's bullet. Secret Service tackle him
- 6:51Speaker 1: to the ground. He pushes them off, stands up and
- 6:54Speaker 1: starts pumping his fist. I don't think anybody's going to
- 6:57Speaker 1: convince anybody that this guy's a coward. Ever again, as
- 7:00Speaker 1: one of the bravest things I've ever seen. Hey, Mom, Donnie,
- 7:05Speaker 1: he's always got a scheme, always got something free buses,
- 7:08Speaker 1: free childcare, free, this, free that, everything you want, whatever
- 7:12Speaker 1: you want. So yesterday this was in coordination with Jano Lieber,
- 7:17Speaker 1: the idiotic, horrible MTh chairman, they were down in the
- 7:23Speaker 1: subway promising that they've got some mechanism that's going to
- 7:27Speaker 1: lower the temperature on the subway platform. You know when
- 7:30Speaker 1: you're walking around like yesterday or later today and the
- 7:33Speaker 1: real feel is one hundred it's really really oppressive outside. Well,
- 7:39Speaker 1: imagine down the subway platform it feels like one hundred
- 7:41Speaker 1: and ten, one hundred and twenty. So they introduced yesterday
- 7:44Speaker 1: they're going to have put in a special cooling system
- 7:47Speaker 1: that will cool the platform. It sounds great, what a
- 7:52Speaker 1: press conference, boy, is this is a thermal energy something network.
- 7:56Speaker 1: It will suck the hot air out of the subway
- 7:58Speaker 1: station and they will capture the heat and use it
- 8:02Speaker 1: to heat city buildings. This sounds like the greatest thing ever,
- 8:06Speaker 1: what an unbelievable development and technot But then you start
- 8:10Speaker 1: to wait a minute, you start to read the details here,
- 8:13Speaker 1: it looks like it'll bring the temperature down like two degrees.
- 8:17Speaker 1: It won't do much of anything. You know, if it's
- 8:20Speaker 1: one hundred and ten in the subway and you bring
- 8:22Speaker 1: it down to one hundred and seven, you know, it's
- 8:25Speaker 1: really not going to make much difference. But excuse to
- 8:29Speaker 1: get a a press conference, bring some podiums to the
- 8:33Speaker 1: subway station, make some speeches, get on the news. That's
- 8:36Speaker 1: all they really really care about, most important thing to them. So, hey,
- 8:42Speaker 1: we're talking about Tucker Carlson. This guy is just gone
- 8:46Speaker 1: completely off the reservation. Now, the same thing with Megan Kelly.
- 8:51Speaker 1: You know what happens is if you get fired, You're
- 8:53Speaker 1: on television on a big network. You get fired, you
- 8:56Speaker 1: got no audience. Well, you'll start your own podcast, start
- 9:00Speaker 1: your own whatever. But how do you get anybody to watch?
- 9:03Speaker 1: Nobody knows it. You have to say crazy things. You
- 9:06Speaker 1: have to make all kinds of outrageous comments and get
- 9:10Speaker 1: in the news in that way, people come tuning your podcast,
- 9:14Speaker 1: and if you're some of these people, I don't want
- 9:16Speaker 1: to mention her name. But you pay all kinds of
- 9:19Speaker 1: companies to give you phony hits, phony likes. You hire
- 9:24Speaker 1: pr people to get your name in the newspaper, and
- 9:27Speaker 1: then you pay a company to put phony hits on
- 9:30Speaker 1: the newspaper article. So the newspaper goes, Wow, this got
- 9:33Speaker 1: a lot of hits. Do more stories on her, that
- 9:35Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And Tucker Carlson outrageous stuff, anti Semitic stuff,
- 9:39Speaker 1: all kinds of disgusting, awful stuff. Now he's teamed up
- 9:43Speaker 1: with Hunter Biden, Tucker Carlson with this ridiculous, crazed he's
- 9:49Speaker 1: the new Alex Jones with this podcast, and he has
- 9:53Speaker 1: Hunter Biden on and they're talking about how corrupt Trump
- 9:55Speaker 1: is the most corrupt guy ever around the White House.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Hunter Biden is the guest to talk about Trump corruption. Now,
- 10:03Speaker 1: of course Tucker never asked him about the fake painting,
- 10:06Speaker 1: fake art scheme, that he or any of this stuff
- 10:09Speaker 1: or Ukraine, But when asked about it, this guy doubles down.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Now Tucker is now Hunter's Biden buddy. It's the Tucker Carlson,
- 10:19Speaker 1: Hunter Biden team watch, you're going to start doing a
- 10:21Speaker 1: podcast together. So forget Tucker Carlson, completely completely lost. He's
- 10:28Speaker 1: the new Alex Jones. In fact, he makes Alex Jones
- 10:31Speaker 1: the kind of mainstream Now. So Facebook, you know, the
- 10:36Speaker 1: first big social media was MySpace. Remember my Space? That
- 10:40Speaker 1: was very, very big. Two guys there are trying to
- 10:43Speaker 1: bring it back now. And then Facebook took over, and
- 10:45Speaker 1: Facebook became the biggest thing in the world. And then
- 10:48Speaker 1: this little thing, Instagram showed up. I think it was
- 10:52Speaker 1: two thousand and yeah, let me check twenty ten. It
- 10:56Speaker 1: was a photo sharing app where you could just post
- 10:58Speaker 1: photos twenty ten, and very early in that, the Facebook
- 11:05Speaker 1: owner Mark Zuckerberg. He saw something in Instagram. And that's
- 11:09Speaker 1: why these guys are multi, multi, multi billionaires. They see
- 11:13Speaker 1: the future. They see way ahead. You know, they imagine
- 11:15Speaker 1: the iPhone or the iPod, something nobody else was even
- 11:19Speaker 1: talking about. You know, Steve Jobs could do that. Zuckerberg looked.
- 11:23Speaker 1: I remember when Instagram started in two thousand and ten.
- 11:25Speaker 1: I remember going on it. Then you posted some pictures.
- 11:27Speaker 1: I don't know why I were posting them, but you
- 11:29Speaker 1: post them. Zuckerberg sees this and he knows this is
- 11:33Speaker 1: the future. He knows this is something, so he decides
- 11:36Speaker 1: to buy Instagram immediately. Now, normally you got to go
- 11:40Speaker 1: to your company, your board, you got to discuss with
- 11:43Speaker 1: the purchase of purchasing this. Zuckerberg was so interested so
- 11:49Speaker 1: fast in Instagram. He just went out and bought it.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Didn't insult the company, the board, and he just bought it.
- 11:55Speaker 1: And he didn't, you know, you get an investment banker
- 11:58Speaker 1: to make the merger. He didn't do it any of that.
- 12:00Speaker 1: He just called up the guys that own Instagram and said,
- 12:03Speaker 1: I'll buy it tonight. And it just offered him a
- 12:06Speaker 1: fortune and he took Instagram. So he saw the future
- 12:08Speaker 1: and he was right. Instagram is the single biggest social
- 12:14Speaker 1: media of all. Its way ahead of everybody. You know,
- 12:17Speaker 1: if you're twelve years old, maybe it's TikTok, But for
- 12:19Speaker 1: the vast majority of people Instagram, why is it the
- 12:23Speaker 1: most popular social media of all? And it hasn't even waivered.
- 12:28Speaker 1: You know, once Zuckerberg had it this twenty ten it started.
- 12:33Speaker 1: He bought it like a twenty and eleven. He quickly
- 12:36Speaker 1: grew it to two billion people, two billion, two billion
- 12:41Speaker 1: right away. By twenty thirteen, he had it up to
- 12:45Speaker 1: two billion people. Now it's hundreds of billion. I mean,
- 12:48Speaker 1: it's just ridiculous numbers. Why why it becomes so big, Well,
- 12:52Speaker 1: it's the most popular social media because it's so simple.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Experts say, it's all visual. Visual appeal is the number
- 12:59Speaker 1: one thing simplicity it's for. It's fast. The brain understands
- 13:05Speaker 1: pictures and videos faster than text. A picture it just
- 13:10Speaker 1: instantly registers in your brain. Text does not. They also
- 13:14Speaker 1: think the reason it got so popular from day one,
- 13:17Speaker 1: they had filters, lots of filters. You could filter your
- 13:20Speaker 1: pictures to look artistic, to look interesting, you could filter
- 13:24Speaker 1: your face to look better, your skin. Everything. The design
- 13:28Speaker 1: was so clean and simple and works so well on
- 13:32Speaker 1: a smartphone. Remember twenty ten. It starts just as everybody
- 13:37Speaker 1: switching to smartphones. It was perfect for that. It's so
- 13:42Speaker 1: fast at updating. It just updates constantly. It never stops updating.
- 13:47Speaker 1: There's endless video. People love videos. It never stops. Now,
- 13:50Speaker 1: remember that Zuckerberg. It was just pictures, and then Zuckerberg
- 13:55Speaker 1: got into TikTok, which was brand new at that time.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Nobody really was on TikTok yet but Zuckerberg and put
- 14:02Speaker 1: the reels into Instagram Instagram reels, so suddenly they had
- 14:06Speaker 1: video that was to keep way ahead of TikTok, and
- 14:08Speaker 1: it worked. The social links. It connects friends, family in
- 14:13Speaker 1: a much better way than Facebook. You know, when your
- 14:17Speaker 1: family and friends come over. In the good old days,
- 14:20Speaker 1: you would show them pictures. Hey, look at the pictures
- 14:22Speaker 1: of our trip. Hey, look at the pictures of our kids.
- 14:24Speaker 1: It was all pictures. When your friends come over, you
- 14:27Speaker 1: never said, hey, read this essay, I wrote, well, here
- 14:30Speaker 1: read these political comments. No, it's all pictures. And then
- 14:34Speaker 1: you got the the Instagram influencers showed up. They really
- 14:39Speaker 1: helped spread the word. And then shopping, Now that was
- 14:41Speaker 1: the other thing. Unlike the other social media, Instagram became
- 14:45Speaker 1: a big place for shopping and finding new products of
- 14:50Speaker 1: critically became billions and billions and billions of people. Also,
- 14:56Speaker 1: it became this is the other thing that really helped.
- 14:58Speaker 1: It became absolutely vi for businesses, absolutely vital for businesses
- 15:02Speaker 1: to be on Instagram. So skip to the future. The
- 15:09Speaker 1: top ten mostow Who do you think the top ten
- 15:11Speaker 1: most followed accounts, biggest Instagram accounts, Who would you say

- 15:24Speaker 1: seventy eight million followers, Leo Messi five hundred and fifteen
