- 0:00Speaker 1: Uh, Sid and Friends in the morning entertaining and informative.
- 0:05Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 0:09Speaker 3: I'm Jake Novak sitting in for Sid Rosenberg with me
- 0:12Speaker 3: owner operator John Katzmatitis. Will be joined later by Judge
- 0:15Speaker 3: Richard Weinberg and Georgia Venezela. So, uh, I.
- 0:18Speaker 4: Mean, we're always inclusive. We always bring in a lot
- 0:21Speaker 4: of people. And uh, you know, I guess for me
- 0:24Speaker 4: and you are doing the base operation.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we got to warm it up for
- 0:27Speaker 3: the for the for the crowd. It's Juneteenth, that's a
- 0:30Speaker 3: federal holiday. The markets are closed today. For those of you, do.
- 0:33Speaker 4: We have Do we need a black person? Tell us
- 0:36Speaker 4: what Jude teeth is?
- 0:38Speaker 3: You know, it would be nice to get someone to
- 0:39Speaker 3: explain it. I don't we wake up David Patterson look
- 0:43Speaker 3: at as Dominic.
- 0:45Speaker 4: I mean, uh, I would say if you stop the
- 0:48Speaker 4: next hundred people that walk by the building, that ninety
- 0:53Speaker 4: of them will not have a clue.
- 0:55Speaker 3: It would be nice if Juneteenth doesn't become like Kwansa,
- 0:58Speaker 3: which no one can explain either. The Juneteenth, I mean, obstensibly,
- 1:02Speaker 3: the idea is this is to celebrate celebrate the end
- 1:06Speaker 3: of slavery in the United States.
- 1:07Speaker 4: I thought it was to do to celebrate what happened
- 1:11Speaker 4: in the murders that happened in Texas.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Oh, the Tulsa uprising against against.
- 1:18Speaker 4: I thought that was where June Teeth was a little bad. Yeah,
- 1:20Speaker 4: I mean, we have an expert here. I mean, no
- 1:23Speaker 4: one was supposed to be an expert in a lot
- 1:24Speaker 4: of stuff. Yeah, yeah, I mean, Noma Layton, do you
- 1:28Speaker 4: have any idea what June Teeth is.
- 1:31Speaker 3: He's grabbing the mic.
- 1:33Speaker 5: It's celebrating the emancipation of the last slaves who the
- 1:38Speaker 5: last slaves to find out that they were free were
- 1:40Speaker 5: in Texas, if I'm not mistaken, And it was on
- 1:42Speaker 5: this day that they were finally freed, like much later
- 1:45Speaker 5: than a lot of the rest of the slaves.
- 1:46Speaker 4: And it had nothing to do with the big slaughter
- 1:50Speaker 4: of of people that died in Texas. This very successful
- 1:54Speaker 4: black community that was.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Oklahoma, Yeah, Tulsa they called it the Black Wall Street. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:02Speaker 3: and very successful too. To commemorate, not to celebrate it,
- 2:04Speaker 3: but to commemorate it. But it is Look, you know,
- 2:08Speaker 3: it's interesting how you know this is one of the
- 2:09Speaker 3: first things that Joe Biden did when he was president.
- 2:12Speaker 3: He declared this day as another new national holiday. And
- 2:16Speaker 3: you know, no one's going to ask any questions about
- 2:18Speaker 3: that or push back on that. Another day off in
- 2:19Speaker 3: the summer, you know, almost two days before the official
- 2:22Speaker 3: beginning of summer. Why not, But it should be noted everyone.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Just again, the best thing we can do right at
- 2:27Speaker 3: the top is just as a public service announcement. Markets
- 2:29Speaker 3: aren't open, a lot of businesses closed, banks closed. However,
- 2:34Speaker 3: oil is trading, and I wanted to talk about that
- 2:37Speaker 3: with you right away, because if you know, John, you
- 2:38Speaker 3: predicted this precipitous drop in oil, and here we are
- 2:41Speaker 3: at seventy seven dollars a barrel here.
- 2:42Speaker 4: I well, it was seventy four yesterday. Yeah, it's fluctuations.
- 2:46Speaker 4: I mean I had predicted when when the strait is opened,
- 2:51Speaker 4: that it drops way down to about fifty five to
- 2:55Speaker 4: sixty five again. And if it's seventy four yesterday, maybe,
- 3:00Speaker 4: you know, depending on how things are going. I mean
- 3:04Speaker 4: there's always people that are stirring the pot, and uh,
- 3:10Speaker 4: they cease talking for overnight or something overnight there is
- 3:14Speaker 4: this morning.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, there's a lot of developments. First of all,
- 3:18Speaker 3: you have vance not.
- 3:19Speaker 4: Going to the lame Israel.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Well, you know, we got a situation overnight and you
- 3:24Speaker 3: heard know them talk about it. For Israeli soldiers killed
- 3:27Speaker 3: by Klesbollah overnight. The Israelis retaliated, hitting them in the
- 3:30Speaker 3: Macaw Valley. So let's see how we respond.
- 3:33Speaker 4: My my opinion, Israel did the right thing, not enough.
- 3:38Speaker 4: I mean, if you my nature, if you hit me once,
- 3:43Speaker 4: I'd hit you ten times.
- 3:44Speaker 3: And a huge part of the pushback against this deal
- 3:47Speaker 3: will be gone if it becomes tacitly understood that if
- 3:51Speaker 3: Israel's hit by Lesbella, the Israelis can hit back. If
- 3:53Speaker 3: that's what the administration is going to tell them, either
- 3:55Speaker 3: openly or quietly, that'll be fine with Israel.
- 3:57Speaker 4: But make sure Israel inspectable.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Yeah, well that would be good too.
- 4:01Speaker 4: You know, double coupon's always good.
- 4:02Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Well, speaking of coupons, you know, we talk too much
- 4:05Speaker 3: about oil, not enough about gasoline. We're now at three
- 4:07Speaker 3: ninety seven according to Triple A National It will go lower.
- 4:11Speaker 3: It will go fifty fifty six cents lower than the
- 4:14Speaker 3: national average on a month ago today, and most note,
- 4:17Speaker 3: I think very notably, now less than a dollar more
- 4:20Speaker 3: than it was on day one of the war. Day
- 4:21Speaker 3: one of the war, we were at two ninety eight
- 4:22Speaker 3: national average, they were three ninety seven. Now obviously another buck,
- 4:26Speaker 3: but but not quite a buck.
- 4:27Speaker 4: And I had a slubfest last night at five o'clock
- 4:29Speaker 4: on the five o'clock Show, and we we we even
- 4:31Speaker 4: play some of it back, and we even had Mark
- 4:34Speaker 4: Levin callin. And the fact is that, look, Trump has
- 4:41Speaker 4: to do what he has to do to. You got
- 4:46Speaker 4: to bring down the pricey gasoline. You know you've got
- 4:48Speaker 4: November coming up. You got to bring down the pricey gasoline,
- 4:53Speaker 4: and you have to bring down the price of interest rates.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Now I think the new Fed chairman, I don't think
- 5:01Speaker 4: he's waving, wavering, but he's just sidestepping a little bit.
- 5:05Speaker 4: But it goes back to when oil comes. The only
- 5:11Speaker 4: reason some of the people were saying, oh, inflation, the
- 5:16Speaker 4: numbers are up, the number. It's a temporary thing. It
- 5:20Speaker 4: was a temporary three ninety day war. So when the
- 5:24Speaker 4: war goes away, inflation goes away, interest rates have to
- 5:28Speaker 4: come down. So if you go into November with low
- 5:31Speaker 4: interest rates and two and a half dollars to seventy
- 5:35Speaker 4: five gasoline, then I think the country's going great shake.
- 5:40Speaker 3: Well, we've had twenty nine straight days of the national
- 5:42Speaker 3: average for gasoline going down, and that's the longest in
- 5:45Speaker 3: almost three years, the longest streak and almost three years.
- 5:48Speaker 3: It would be nice again if we saw But what John,
- 5:51Speaker 3: what would you say is I mean you were putting
- 5:52Speaker 3: in a target at the high two dollars, you know,
- 5:54Speaker 3: close to three dollars, but to a two handle.
- 5:57Speaker 4: I think it'll be you'll be a two handle, it'll
- 5:59Speaker 4: be below.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Okay, and that would be that that would be psychologically,
- 6:03Speaker 3: you know, these numbers are very psychological. Like with mortgage rates,
- 6:05Speaker 3: I say, the day that we get we did briefly
- 6:08Speaker 3: earlier this year, I said, the day we get to
- 6:10Speaker 3: five point nine nine nine nine percent on mortgages, there's
- 6:12Speaker 3: going to be a big run for buyers. Even though yeah,
- 6:17Speaker 3: well I hope so, you know, we had.
- 6:20Speaker 4: I think the new FECh chairman is committed to reduce
- 6:24Speaker 4: interest rates. And I really don't know what Violin Powell
- 6:31Speaker 4: was playing, obviously, I mean he was a nominee of
- 6:36Speaker 4: President Trump forty five, but he was how can you
- 6:40Speaker 4: say Biden? Iised, he said, Biden?
- 6:42Speaker 3: I yeah, I mean, how in the world he lowered
- 6:45Speaker 3: interest rates? In November of twenty twenty four and before
- 6:48Speaker 3: that when the inflation numbers were much worse than they
- 6:51Speaker 3: are now, and that was the problem with them. And
- 6:53Speaker 3: you know, to say that he was bullied by Trump Ali,
- 6:55Speaker 3: but he never justified those cuts for Biden and it
- 7:00Speaker 3: just doesn't make any sense. Plus he's staying on the board,
- 7:03Speaker 3: which is a really cheap move.
- 7:04Speaker 4: By how it was all politics. Yeah, and the FET
- 7:08Speaker 4: chairman should not have politics. And look, I look forward.
- 7:14Speaker 4: I think the economy of twenty twenty six will be
- 7:17Speaker 4: the best ever. The Dow Jones average has hit fifty
- 7:22Speaker 4: two thousand already. I was the first one to predict
- 7:26Speaker 4: fifty thousand for December thirty one, twenty twenty five, and
- 7:30Speaker 4: that was when the Dow Jones was I think they
- 7:33Speaker 4: we were having a bad summer. I don't know what
- 7:34Speaker 4: it was down to thirty two, thirty three, thirty four
- 7:36Speaker 4: or whatever. In my prediction for December thirty one, twenty
- 7:41Speaker 4: six is sixty thousand.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Wow, Okay, mark that down sixty thousand on the Dow. Jobs. Also,
- 7:48Speaker 3: we had didn't mention jobs. The jobs are numbers. That
- 7:50Speaker 3: last job support was very good. You know, we were
- 7:54Speaker 3: all accepting a no high or no fire type job situation.
- 7:58Speaker 3: And it turns out that was we were settling too low.
- 8:00Speaker 3: The job situation is very good, much better than expected.
- 8:04Speaker 6: You know.
- 8:04Speaker 3: I hear Larry Cudlow on some of the messages he's
- 8:07Speaker 3: been putting out on the station talking about the strength
- 8:09Speaker 3: of the economy, just as you have where you know,
- 8:12Speaker 3: we were told the AI thing is going to kill
- 8:14Speaker 3: everybody's job, we were told the tariffs are going to
- 8:17Speaker 3: kill everybody's job. It hasn't happened.
- 8:19Speaker 4: It hasn't happened at all. There are people out there
- 8:23Speaker 4: that are just they want to do anything this possible. Now.
- 8:27Speaker 4: I said this to a few high ups in people
- 8:34Speaker 4: at the Fox, and I told the President that what's
- 8:39Speaker 4: going on is, let's take New Jersey. Are they still pitching?
- 8:44Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 8:45Speaker 4: I mean I don't even know.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Anymore here and there, But you know what, it's such
- 8:48Speaker 3: a good question. It's so good that you asked that question,
- 8:50Speaker 3: because without the media coverage, nobody knows and the media
- 8:55Speaker 3: feel you know, absolutely plays it. You said this on
- 8:57Speaker 3: one of the on the cats and Cosme thing a
- 8:59Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago. Without the media coverage that it
- 9:03Speaker 3: takes all the oxygen out of them.
- 9:04Speaker 4: One hundred percent. And what I also said, and I
- 9:08Speaker 4: want all the people to listen to this, that there's
- 9:11Speaker 4: people putting on a show, a play, an orchestra, and
- 9:17Speaker 4: what they're doing is they're paying these characters. Of all
- 9:21Speaker 4: the people that got arrested in North New Jersey, all
- 9:25Speaker 4: the people that got arrested, only one russe from New Jersey,
- 9:27Speaker 4: the rest of them from all over the place. And
- 9:30Speaker 4: what does that mean. That means they're paid political whatever
- 9:35Speaker 4: you want to call them. And the fact is that
- 9:39Speaker 4: they spend whoever's spending the money they put on that play,
- 9:44Speaker 4: they're spending fifty one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand. But
- 9:48Speaker 4: when the media gives them the publicity, they get millions
- 9:52Speaker 4: of dollars of publicity. You can't buy that publicity that
- 9:56Speaker 4: the media is giving them. Oh, look at these people
- 9:58Speaker 4: they're attacking. You can't buy it. Millions and millions of dollars.
- 10:04Speaker 4: And look at their return and investment. They don't have
- 10:07Speaker 4: to advertise, they don't have to to do anything else.
- 10:12Speaker 4: They create the rioters, They create the play Act one,
- 10:18Speaker 4: scene one, and the next day, scene two, scene three,
- 10:22Speaker 4: And that they're paid political whatever you want to call
- 10:26Speaker 4: them terrorists, and when the media covers them, it goes viral.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Oh my god, Yes, they're attacking Ice and in the
- 10:38Speaker 4: governor of New Jersey, I was shocked they were. She
- 10:43Speaker 4: wouldn't allow the police officers, so the state troopers to
- 10:46Speaker 4: come in and help Ice.
- 10:49Speaker 3: You do that, she's part of the performance that she
- 10:51Speaker 3: and the and the mayor of Newark. Now Sparaka kept
- 10:55Speaker 3: going back and forth about whether he was going to
- 10:56Speaker 3: allow the cops to do something about it. I mean,
- 10:58Speaker 3: you know, it's so weird because if your gen x
- 11:02Speaker 3: are like myself, and I started following all this as
- 11:05Speaker 3: as a ten year old, little bit abnormal in that way,
- 11:08Speaker 3: I grew up in a country where local officials couldn't
- 11:11Speaker 3: wait for the Feds to come take their care of
- 11:13Speaker 3: their problems for them. Now you know, the Feds are saying, hey,
- 11:16Speaker 3: we'll take your criminal overhead, we'll take care of this,
- 11:19Speaker 3: and they don't want it. No, no, no, well not only
- 11:22Speaker 3: will we will we keep paying for these people, either
- 11:25Speaker 3: whether they're in cars or not, but we'll give them
- 11:26Speaker 3: gift cards, We'll give them. I mean, it's just this
- 11:28Speaker 3: is suicidal politics. And if it's if it's for performance theater.
- 11:32Speaker 3: That's one thing. And you know, John, another one of
- 11:34Speaker 3: the problems is there's no shortage of people they can
- 11:37Speaker 3: hire to be their performance demonstration terrorists.
- 11:40Speaker 4: They get paid in cash.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Yeah, and that means you know, they own taxes.
- 11:45Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 11:45Speaker 3: We got all these liberal arts grads from colleges who
- 11:48Speaker 3: can choose between working at Starbucks or going to the
- 11:52Speaker 3: rally at Newark and having some fun and throwing bricks
- 11:54Speaker 3: at people.
- 11:55Speaker 4: I understand the standard fee for the group leaders is
- 11:58Speaker 4: one thousand dollars cash, some of them the group leaders
- 12:02Speaker 4: for two thousand cash, and the individual picketers that just
- 12:06Speaker 4: go there and yell the scream is two hundred bucks cat.
- 12:09Speaker 3: And we found out that you know, you have.
- 12:11Speaker 4: To work at Starbucks at twenty bucks an hour. That's
- 12:15Speaker 4: to take It takes ten hours of work, a lot
- 12:18Speaker 4: of coffees to fill to get two hundred dollars in cash.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Right, It's it's a it's very There's an endless amount
- 12:25Speaker 3: of labor supply for this stuff. And it's not just
- 12:30Speaker 3: American funders. We found out that the woman who was
- 12:33Speaker 3: running the anti Israel protests and Times Squares from after
- 12:36Speaker 3: October seventh for years later is the daughter of some
- 12:39Speaker 3: kind of Chinese politician and who was also being paid
- 12:43Speaker 3: for this. It's a you know, there's a lot of
- 12:46Speaker 3: kids out there, young people without a purpose. It reminds
- 12:49Speaker 3: me of the getting that debate up again about bringing
- 12:52Speaker 3: back the draft. Doesn't have to be for the military,
- 12:54Speaker 3: but we got a lot of young people in this
- 12:56Speaker 3: country with no purpose and no direction. And uh, it
- 12:59Speaker 3: was only a matter of time before someone took advantage
- 13:01Speaker 3: of that other story this morning that you know, we
- 13:05Speaker 3: might want to get to really soon. Do you have
- 13:07Speaker 3: to take a break yet or we got a couple
- 13:09Speaker 3: of minutes. But let's let's tease it a little bit.
- 13:11Speaker 4: Somebody the control booths set up a thread filed on
- 13:17Speaker 4: a text, so we know what's going on in the
- 13:19Speaker 4: control booth, et cetera, et cetera.
- 13:21Speaker 3: But let me, let's let's let the audience know we're
- 13:23Speaker 3: going to talk about this after the break. John Tulci Gabbard,
- 13:26Speaker 3: on her last day in office, releases a bunch of
- 13:29Speaker 3: files that are very damning for doctor Fauci, very damning
- 13:33Speaker 3: damning for him and for the people who covered up
- 13:36Speaker 3: for him. And you'll hear what she had to say
- 13:39Speaker 3: about that she leaves with the bang. And again it's
- 13:42Speaker 3: about this gain of function stuff that Fauci helped organize
- 13:47Speaker 3: and helped use taxpayer money to fund. And this is
- 13:50Speaker 3: where COVID came from. I don't think anyone is claiming
- 13:52Speaker 3: anymore that it came from a wet market in in Wua.
- 13:56Speaker 4: Well, I mean, we got to talk about that, because
- 13:58Speaker 4: it's it's worse than I think.
- 14:00Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 14:01Speaker 4: And by the way, Governor pataky Sun is in Ukraine,
- 14:07Speaker 4: and guess what I think they'll be. They're gonna be
- 14:10Speaker 4: calling in, Oh, excellent about six forty five Governor Perachy
- 14:14Speaker 4: son Owen pertacky. Uh and what are they doing in
- 14:17Speaker 4: the Ukraine? Well, we got the soccer games going on here.
- 14:21Speaker 4: He's got football games going on.
- 14:23Speaker 3: Now, Oh, we're gonna say, okay, it's a quid quid
- 14:26Speaker 3: pro quot. All right, We're gonna take a break. I'm

- 17:25Speaker 4: anyplace else.
- 17:26Speaker 3: Well, the mayor played a long violin solo yesterday, the
- 17:30Speaker 3: longest speech of anyone at that Knicks parade and at
- 17:33Speaker 3: the celebration at City Hall.
- 17:35Speaker 4: And keys to the city.
- 17:37Speaker 3: Gave way keys of the city to everyone and everyone.
- 17:40Speaker 3: You know, he famously couldn't name one Nick player during
- 17:43Speaker 3: his election last year. During one of the debates, he
- 17:47Speaker 3: sort of mumbled the name of the coach. He couldn't
- 17:50Speaker 3: name one, So he made up for it. He tried
- 17:52Speaker 3: to make up for it yesterday by naming not only
- 17:54Speaker 3: all the current nick players, but famous nick players from
- 17:56Speaker 3: fifty years ago.
- 17:57Speaker 4: Yeah, there was only about a million people there right yesterday.
- 18:00Speaker 4: And when I was at the a Police Athletic League
- 18:05Speaker 4: legal lunch on Tuesday, everybody was worried. Oh, it might
- 18:10Speaker 4: be a million, it might be two million, it might
- 18:12Speaker 4: be three million. Where did these numbers come from?
- 18:16Speaker 3: I think people forgot that school still was still open
- 18:19Speaker 3: yesterday and the New York City public schools aren't finished
- 18:21Speaker 3: for the year, so that was a big reason why
- 18:23Speaker 3: people stayed away. It was a large crowds, I mean,
- 18:26Speaker 3: and it seemed too that there were some arrests. No
- 18:29Speaker 3: I'm reported on that in the last hour. It wasn't
- 18:31Speaker 3: completely peaceful, but I'm relieved. I'm relieved that it wasn't worse.
- 18:35Speaker 3: Maybe having these maybe they should play these NBA games
- 18:37Speaker 3: during the day, because I don't know if we would
- 18:39Speaker 3: have had those riots after the games if they had
- 18:41Speaker 3: been day games. But that's another logistical thing.
- 18:44Speaker 7: Now.
- 18:44Speaker 3: We teased before the break this revelation by Tulcy Gabbard
- 18:48Speaker 3: on our last day of Director of National Intelligence. Here
- 18:50Speaker 3: she is explaining what documents she released and kind of
- 18:54Speaker 3: what they say.
- 18:55Speaker 12: Before the COVID pandemic, doctor Fauci, as head of the
- 18:58Speaker 12: National Institute of aller and Infectious Diseases, provided millions in
- 19:03Speaker 12: US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain of function research
- 19:08Speaker 12: on BAT coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology work
- 19:13Speaker 12: which is now widely viewed as the source of the
- 19:16Speaker 12: unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic.
- 19:19Speaker 3: Yeah, she went on to say, John that again a
- 19:22Speaker 3: little bit more in that in that release. But in
- 19:25Speaker 3: the paper release, we found that there was an Inspector
- 19:28Speaker 3: General who had a report saying as much, and it
- 19:31Speaker 3: was buried by the Biden administration in early twenty twenty one.
- 19:35Speaker 3: This is this is just so disturbing, and this comes
- 19:38Speaker 3: on the heels of last week we learned about all
- 19:41Speaker 3: of these gain of function type laboratories in places like Ukraine.
- 19:45Speaker 3: I mean, the American taxpayer has I mean, what percentage
- 19:49Speaker 3: of our budget do you think the American taxpayer has
- 19:51Speaker 3: a knowledge of, just a regular American taxpayer of where
- 19:54Speaker 3: this money is going. And you know, this was a
- 19:57Speaker 3: terrible pandemic. Also, Cheryl Atkinson, who's a journalist in the country,
- 20:03Speaker 3: many people know her, reporting yesterday that she found a
- 20:07Speaker 3: paper that doctor Fauci had written just before the pandemic
- 20:10Speaker 3: talking about how he didn't think this coronavirus pandemic was
- 20:14Speaker 3: going to be so bad and then tried to ask
- 20:17Speaker 3: him about that contradiction and didn't get anywhere with that.
- 20:20Speaker 3: So just an incredible amount of revelations. There now another
- 20:24Speaker 3: story coming out of the Trump administration, coming out of
- 20:28Speaker 3: the ballot box stuffing situation going on in California, Cash
- 20:32Speaker 3: Hotel announcing yesterday that a bunch of federal agents descended
- 20:37Speaker 3: on what's called skid Row in Los Angeles to find
- 20:40Speaker 3: out if people were paid, people were coerced into signing ballots,
- 20:44Speaker 3: multiple ballots. Of course, that was the area where the
- 20:49Speaker 3: mail in ballots came in that pushed Spencer Pratt out
- 20:52Speaker 3: of the runoff election in Los Angeles in November. We
- 20:55Speaker 3: know that these ballots came from skid row. We know
- 20:58Speaker 3: that they came from homeless people. The question is where
- 20:59Speaker 3: the coerced were they legally allowed to vote? And the
- 21:03Speaker 3: FBI is looking into this. Probably won't be enough to
- 21:07Speaker 3: get Spencer Bratt on the ballot in November. I don't
- 21:09Speaker 3: think that's going to happen. But it's all about chilling
- 21:11Speaker 3: effects where people say, well, this is a waste of time. Well,
- 21:14Speaker 3: if this stops the Democrats from going into these areas
- 21:17Speaker 3: next time, it could make a big difference.
- 21:18Speaker 4: Plus until somebody goes to jail and spends actual time
- 21:24Speaker 4: in jail. This is not going to correct itself. No,
- 21:27Speaker 4: I mean it's horrible. I mean I had the US attorney,
- 21:32Speaker 4: you know, I'm looking, by the way, I'm looking for
- 21:34Speaker 4: our discussion with Mark Levin last night because I want
- 21:38Speaker 4: to replay part of it, and nobody did the mini
- 21:41Speaker 4: cash last night and we interviewed the US attorney from
- 21:49Speaker 4: Los Angeles and I love to play that interview later
- 21:53Speaker 4: on too, because it's horrible. Yeah, I mean, you know
- 21:59Speaker 4: how you can get just a vote by having a gym.
- 22:03Speaker 3: Invoice, yeah, a gym membership.
- 22:05Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean horrible.
- 22:06Speaker 3: And by the way, just on a human scale, what
- 22:08Speaker 3: kind of person goes into skid row dealing with people
- 22:11Speaker 3: who are that troubled that poor drug addicts and instead
- 22:16Speaker 3: of helping them, instead of saying, hey, you know, he's
- 22:18Speaker 3: here's a relief program, a treatment program, you can get
- 22:22Speaker 3: to something like that, instead hands him a bunch of
- 22:24Speaker 3: ballots and tells him to sign it. I mean, the
- 22:26Speaker 3: cynicism of that. You know, there's a historical there's a
- 22:29Speaker 3: historical corollary to that. You know, how Edgar Allan Poe
- 22:32Speaker 3: died no, Wow. Edgar Allan Poe was suffering from rabies,
- 22:35Speaker 3: which is very painful, apparently, and instead of helping him,
- 22:38Speaker 3: these guys grabbed him in Baltimore and ran him through
- 22:41Speaker 3: the ballot box seventy five times, had him voting over
- 22:43Speaker 3: and over again, and then they just threw him in
- 22:44Speaker 3: the street. That's how he died. And when I heard
- 22:47Speaker 3: about how they're going into skid row with these people
- 22:48Speaker 3: who are suffering from god knows what. And we can
- 22:51Speaker 3: talk about the causes of drugs and homelessness, and that's
- 22:53Speaker 3: a different discussion. But what kind of maniac goes into
- 22:56Speaker 3: skid row with just a bunch of ballots and doesn't say, hey,
- 22:59Speaker 3: here's a tree programming, here's the hospital you can go to,
- 23:01Speaker 3: here's here's a shelter. I mean, this is beyond just
- 23:05Speaker 3: political partisanship. This is lack of humanity, really is.
- 23:10Speaker 4: Well, the problem the Democratic Party has is that the socialist,
- 23:16Speaker 4: the socialist that would run for office and never get
- 23:19Speaker 4: more than two percent, came up with a scheme, let's
- 23:23Speaker 4: take over the Democratic Party and then we have a shot.
- 23:27Speaker 4: And they took over the Democratic Party. Step by step
- 23:31Speaker 4: by step, they get rid of this one and if
- 23:35Speaker 4: somebody raises a voice, guess what that was the next
- 23:39Speaker 4: person they got rid of.
- 23:41Speaker 3: And it's noticeable because we saw this yesterday at the
- 23:45Speaker 3: Obama Library event. And Barack Obama is no longer necessarily
- 23:51Speaker 3: the last word for the Democratic Party, that this leftward
- 23:54Speaker 3: shift of shift of socialists don't follow every word he's now.
- 23:58Speaker 4: I understand. The had the pre opening and all the
- 24:02Speaker 4: presidents were there, and I saw a clip that all
- 24:07Speaker 4: the presidents went off stage, including Joe Biden, and left
- 24:13Speaker 4: Joe Biden by himself on the stage. And he didn't
- 24:16Speaker 4: know what he was doing.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a I mean, you know, if
- 24:19Speaker 3: the man.
- 24:19Speaker 4: Is sick, Yeah, that that is a sin. As far
- 24:23Speaker 4: for Joe Biden with the wife, it's a sin to
- 24:27Speaker 4: leave him by himself on that stage. Okay, if the
- 24:30Speaker 4: man is sick, he's sick, all right, but take care
- 24:33Speaker 4: of him. Yeah, I mean, no, he is the former president.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Maybe she forgot he's not president anymore. And there's a
- 24:38Speaker 3: bunch of you know, back when they were in the
- 24:40Speaker 3: White House and he was just as sick, there were
- 24:43Speaker 3: all these staffers to help him walk the right way.
- 24:47Speaker 3: She may not be the best caregiver. But another outrage
- 24:50Speaker 3: at that event was Barack Obama's speech. Well, here's where
- 24:55Speaker 3: he's talking about how you should have a peaceful transfer
- 24:58Speaker 3: of power. Of note, this is the main who helped
- 25:01Speaker 3: initiate the Russia collusion hoax and not accept the peaceful
- 25:04Speaker 3: transfer of power. But here he is lecturing us about.
- 25:06Speaker 13: This kusha a belief in the peaceful transfer of power
- 25:13Speaker 13: after the people have spoken in fair and free elections,
- 25:17Speaker 13: recognizing that in a large, complicated society like ours, no
- 25:21Speaker 13: group or faction gets its way one hundred percent.
- 25:24Speaker 9: Of the time.
- 25:24Speaker 3: Well he doesn't believe in that. I mean, the documents
- 25:27Speaker 3: have all come out and proven that there were White
- 25:29Speaker 3: House meetings where they deliberately took on the Clinton plan,
- 25:33Speaker 3: which was the Hillary Clinton campaign plan to create this
- 25:38Speaker 3: Russia collusions, which didn't only just hurt Donald Trump. That
- 25:41Speaker 3: would be one thing this toward the country apart, John,
- 25:44Speaker 3: I know families that are still ripped apart about this.
- 25:47Speaker 3: People who had grown up as enemies of the Soviet
- 25:50Speaker 3: Union and people who were wary of Vladimir Putin, both
- 25:52Speaker 3: very justified.
- 25:53Speaker 4: We can go on forever on that, I mean, can
- 25:57Speaker 4: come up with with J six and uh, all the
- 26:01Speaker 4: atrocities that happened there. I mean, uh, there's so many
- 26:07Speaker 4: in the whole thing is by the way, I understand that, Uh.
- 26:12Speaker 4: To build that, we had you know who else we
- 26:14Speaker 4: had on the former governor of Illinois last night. Yeah. Uh.
- 26:21Speaker 4: And I understand that the Obama uh went five hundred
- 26:28Speaker 4: million dollars.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Over budget and people haven't gotten paid and a lot
- 26:31Speaker 3: of people haven't gotten paid. Minority contract and a.
- 26:33Speaker 4: Lot of minority Yeah, a lot of black people. They're
- 26:36Speaker 4: gonna put them out a business if they don't get paid.
- 26:38Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is not new, by the way. All Right,

- 30:24Speaker 4: play that.
- 30:24Speaker 6: Great.
- 30:25Speaker 16: Let's go to one smart guy, Mark Levin. Of course
- 30:27Speaker 16: you can hear him every weeknight here on seventy seven WABC. Mark,
- 30:32Speaker 16: you've been hearing our very spirited conversation, your reaction to
- 30:36Speaker 16: what's in this memorandum.
- 30:39Speaker 17: Wow, gosh, you're how excited today I've been listening to
- 30:42Speaker 17: you here.
- 30:43Speaker 6: I'll tell you what.
- 30:43Speaker 4: We have a good time.
- 30:45Speaker 17: I'll tell you what. Here's the bottom line. Give me
- 30:49Speaker 17: any evidence whatsoever, any any document they've signed, any agreement
- 30:54Speaker 17: they made, any evidence whatsoever that they adhere to a deal.
- 30:57Speaker 17: Just give me one piece. There's a zero. So we're
- 31:00Speaker 17: debating the MoU. We're doing an MoU now because the
- 31:04Speaker 17: president wants to get out of this. I get it.
- 31:06Speaker 17: We got an election. I got that too, But that's
- 31:09Speaker 17: beside the point. I get how important it is. But
- 31:12Speaker 17: when we're focused on the MoU then focus on the
- 31:15Speaker 17: MoU not even the big picture. What's in it. Yes,
- 31:18Speaker 17: they're going to get three hundred billion dollars at some
- 31:21Speaker 17: point somewhere, it doesn't matter. And what are they going
- 31:24Speaker 17: to do with that three hundred billion dollars when we're
- 31:27Speaker 17: all done and they've done whatever they're supposed to do.
- 31:29Speaker 17: I read the MoU JD says they have to meet
- 31:32Speaker 17: this is I see none of that in there. So
- 31:34Speaker 17: they've sixty days to negotiate, and so my advice to
- 31:38Speaker 17: them is, you better get those ballistic missiles in there,
- 31:41Speaker 17: because that's one of the reasons we want to war
- 31:43Speaker 17: in the first place. They spoke about a ring of
- 31:46Speaker 17: ballistic missiles to protect their nuclear program. Those ballistic missiles
- 31:51Speaker 17: did more damage to the oil systems in the Arab countries,
- 31:55Speaker 17: are more damage to Israel than anything. Because they're the
- 31:59Speaker 17: most powerful ventional weapon they have. They can now reach
- 32:02Speaker 17: Europe and nothing's going to stop nothing China, North Korea
- 32:07Speaker 17: and or Russia from showing them how to reach the
- 32:09Speaker 17: United States. Those damn things better be in some deal.
- 32:12Speaker 17: I don't even know how we're going to monitor it,
- 32:13Speaker 17: but they better. That's number one. Number two. The idea
- 32:18Speaker 17: that Israel's responding to has Bolad when they fired two
- 32:21Speaker 17: drones into the desert. That's not what's happening. It is
- 32:24Speaker 17: a constant missile barrage being fired into Israel in the
- 32:28Speaker 17: north area of Israel. They're having to depopulate their country,
- 32:31Speaker 17: which is a tiny country to begin with, and no
- 32:34Speaker 17: country's gonna put up with that. We didn't put up
- 32:37Speaker 17: with them when they took one of our helicopters out.
- 32:39Speaker 17: Iran is demanding it because hez Belah is its strongest
- 32:44Speaker 17: military arm. They weren't taken out. Their air force was
- 32:48Speaker 17: taken out, their navy was taken out, their radar systems
- 32:51Speaker 17: were taken out, and so forth, hes Belas remained. Lebanon
- 32:56Speaker 17: wants nothing to do with Hezblad. The Christians who live
- 32:58Speaker 17: there have had enoughing has Bela. It is Iran is
- 33:01Speaker 17: has Bela that needs to be fixed too, And there's
- 33:04Speaker 17: some other things. But look, I trust the president. I
- 33:08Speaker 17: love the President. I know he wants to do the
- 33:09Speaker 17: right thing, and I think we have an obligation us
- 33:13Speaker 17: we be give them the best advice we can, not
- 33:16Speaker 17: just people in the White House, not just Tucker Carlson
- 33:19Speaker 17: is trying to get his views in our Megan Kelly
- 33:21Speaker 17: or whatever. We have a responsibility to raise issues too,
- 33:26Speaker 17: and he'll either take him or he'll ignore them.
- 33:30Speaker 4: Mark Levin, I agree with you one hundred and ten
- 33:32Speaker 4: percent in Israel should be able to go in and
- 33:36Speaker 4: do whatever the heck they want in the in those
- 33:39Speaker 4: other countries that are attacking.
- 33:41Speaker 17: I have some breaking news.
- 33:43Speaker 16: Give me to it, breaking you, hold on, hold on,
- 33:46Speaker 16: here is breaking news, breaking news w ABC.

- 34:12Speaker 4: I agree with that. I mean, I'm Riah our number
- 34:17Speaker 4: one priority right now, Mark Levin, if we don't win November,
- 34:21Speaker 4: we're in deep crap. I agree.
- 34:23Speaker 17: But you know what, cats, it's not going to be
- 34:26Speaker 17: this the last Paul says that over eighty percent of
- 34:30Speaker 17: the people are focused on the economy.
- 34:32Speaker 6: Yes, less than I'm in.
- 34:34Speaker 4: The oil business war and Mark Levin, Maria, I'm Maria
- 34:40Speaker 4: Barter almost having me on tomorrow at eight thirty, because
- 34:45Speaker 4: I for the last two years have been exactly on
- 34:48Speaker 4: the mark on the price of oil and interest rates
- 34:51Speaker 4: and what's going on. Oil went down to seventy four
- 34:55Speaker 4: dollars today seventy three dollars. It's only ten dollars away
- 34:58Speaker 4: from the sixty five. And we get the price of
- 35:02Speaker 4: oil down, we get the then the all the nuclear
- 35:06Speaker 4: scientists that's saying inflation, inflation, inflation, they that goes away,
- 35:11Speaker 4: and we can bring interest rates down, we bring oil down.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Of course, the energy.
- 35:18Speaker 17: Or more copathetic than you may think. I posted I
- 35:20Speaker 17: think it was yesterday, I don't remember. I said, you
- 35:23Speaker 17: know what, I don't like any of this deal. We
- 35:25Speaker 17: should have finished them off. I don't know why we
- 35:27Speaker 17: took that two week h ceasefire that turned into nine weeks.
- 35:31Speaker 17: We had them on the ground, we could have wiped
- 35:32Speaker 17: them out. I really believe this. And that said I said,
- 35:38Speaker 17: why don't we play their game. Drag them out, that's
- 35:42Speaker 17: the straits are, open them all. You'll get out what
- 35:44Speaker 17: you want now. Drag them out till after the election,
- 35:48Speaker 17: and then bomb the That's what we're doing.
- 35:51Speaker 4: Don't forget me and the guy you just met. It
- 35:55Speaker 4: a few years ago. Me and Trump go back fifty years.
- 35:58Speaker 4: So that's what he's doing.
- 35:59Speaker 3: And agreement permissions the way it works.
- 36:02Speaker 4: Yeah, it's okay, we believed it. We believed that, we
- 36:05Speaker 4: believed it. Don't worry about it. Yeah.
- 36:07Speaker 16: Hey, hey, Mark, I want to go back to one
- 36:10Speaker 16: other thing you said, and uh to me, I was
- 36:14Speaker 16: watching jd Vance today. One of the things he did say.
- 36:18Speaker 16: He said that, yes, Israel has a right to defend
- 36:20Speaker 16: itself and obviously President from one hundred percent agrees with that,
- 36:23Speaker 16: which is great. But he also said this, and this
- 36:26Speaker 16: was kind of shocking to me. He said Trump, he
- 36:29Speaker 16: kind of scolded. He said, anybody in Israel who's critical
- 36:31Speaker 16: of the deal or critical of Trump right now saying
- 36:34Speaker 16: Trump is the only head of state and the entire
- 36:36Speaker 16: world who's sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this time.
- 36:41Speaker 11: What I thought.
- 36:43Speaker 17: I thought that was disgusting. And I want you to
- 36:46Speaker 17: know something. People are going back and looking at what
- 36:49Speaker 17: these cabinet members said. Not a single one was critical
- 36:51Speaker 17: of Israel, not excuse me, of Trump, not one. He's
- 36:57Speaker 17: also wrong about not a single head of state. We
- 37:01Speaker 17: know Hungary, we know Serbia, we know Argentina. I don't
- 37:07Speaker 17: have the whole list in my head. That's simply not true.
- 37:11Speaker 17: I'm not a big fan of things that he says
- 37:13Speaker 17: like that. I think they're outrageous. He's talked about Iran
- 37:16Speaker 17: in very cozy terms that Wow, they're getting like more
- 37:20Speaker 17: reasonable and I think we can work with them. They
- 37:22Speaker 17: actually sound pretty Iran has killed thousands of Americans with hesbelah,
- 37:27Speaker 17: they've madeed thousands of Americans. Don't hear me this crap
- 37:30Speaker 17: that they're reasonable and we can get along with them
- 37:32Speaker 17: and everything else. Does anybody know what they believe? There's
- 37:36Speaker 17: one guy in the world that has right on his desk.
- 37:38Speaker 17: Right here Islamic government written by the original ko Mating
- 37:42Speaker 17: in English. You read this thing, no wonder. It's called
- 37:46Speaker 17: the Komane mind comp It is sick, it is brutal.
- 37:50Speaker 7: It is a death cult.
- 37:52Speaker 17: People are talking. They don't even know what we're dealing with.
- 37:55Speaker 7: Let me tell you.
- 37:55Speaker 17: The Iranians think right now that they want now why
- 37:59Speaker 17: do they think that? Because they're surviving and they don't
- 38:02Speaker 17: care how many die, they don't care how many.
- 38:05Speaker 18: Planes they lose.
- 38:06Speaker 17: They're there for the next decade, in the next decade,
- 38:08Speaker 17: and the decade after that, like the communist Chinese, they
- 38:11Speaker 17: look at things in the thousand year period. That's how
- 38:14Speaker 17: these people conduct themselves. We're Westerners. We have election cycles,
- 38:18Speaker 17: we have act we're fighting for the next election cycle.
- 38:21Speaker 17: What about the price of oil, what about the what
- 38:23Speaker 17: about the stock market? This doesn't enter their heads. What
- 38:26Speaker 17: they're thinking now is Okay, we ducked the biggest bullet
- 38:29Speaker 17: we ever faced and we survived. And you know in
- 38:32Speaker 17: their head what they're saying, according to this book, they're
- 38:35Speaker 17: stronger than ever. That God has protected I'm Allah, and
- 38:39Speaker 17: that Allah is telling them to fight on. Did you
- 38:42Speaker 17: see what the whatever, the supreme you know whatever they
- 38:45Speaker 17: call this supreme leader.
- 38:47Speaker 11: I saw that.
- 38:49Speaker 17: You see the wiggle room.
- 38:51Speaker 19: He left in there? Living over he says, Look, these
- 38:54Speaker 19: guys negotiated this.
- 38:56Speaker 17: They did the best they could. That's okay. I'm not
- 38:58Speaker 17: on the I'm not in the program, but I get
- 39:00Speaker 17: what they're doing. In other words, the hard liners, they're
- 39:04Speaker 17: all hard liners. For these guys, there's no moderates or
- 39:08Speaker 17: they'd be dead. This is what they go through. They
- 39:10Speaker 17: did it with Obama, they did it with Biden, they
- 39:13Speaker 17: did it with the Europeans, they did it with the
- 39:15Speaker 17: I A e A. Once Trump's out, no holds bar
- 39:20Speaker 17: the Democrats when the presidency, they're gonna walk all over them.
- 39:24Speaker 17: And what's gonna happen if they say, after they get
- 39:26Speaker 17: all the money and everything's open, they say, you know what,
- 39:29Speaker 17: we're ripping this damn thing up. What are you gonna
- 39:30Speaker 17: do about it?
- 39:32Speaker 19: This is not over?
- 39:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I agree, I agree, But let's do
- 39:40Speaker 4: first things first. And I think I agree with knowing
- 39:43Speaker 4: President Trump and I don't know for a fact, but
- 39:47Speaker 4: you know, I just know his him for a long
- 39:50Speaker 4: time that let's win November and afterwards, take care to
- 39:55Speaker 4: Republican home, the Iranian Republican Army.
- 39:57Speaker 6: After that.
- 39:59Speaker 17: I'm all for it if that's what we do. Like
- 40:02Speaker 17: I said, I don't think j thinks so well.
- 40:04Speaker 4: JD has nothing to say. J D has nothing to
- 40:08Speaker 4: say about it. It's President Trump is the president. And
- 40:11Speaker 4: you know, I enjoyed talking to you, and we have
- 40:13Speaker 4: more in common than that.

- 40:44Speaker 16: my friend. Great to talk to you.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Thank you, Sid and Friends in the morning on the
- 40:50Speaker 2: Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 40:52Speaker 4: Pallisades Park, I mean that's where I met cousin Brucey
- 40:57Speaker 4: fifty years ago, sixty years ago, I mean, I don't know.
- 41:00Speaker 4: And now we're gonna go live to the Ukraine. We
- 41:03Speaker 4: have a governor Pataki's son, Owen Pataki, is leading a
- 41:08Speaker 4: delegation there, and uh, I wonder how are you own?
- 41:13Speaker 3: Isn't it's Tod Shapiro. No one hasn't called in yet,
- 41:16Speaker 3: and Tod does in Ukraine.
- 41:17Speaker 4: They're correct, Tai Shapiro's in the Ukraine too. Todd Shapiro
- 41:20Speaker 4: tell us what's going on? You guys led a delegation
- 41:24Speaker 4: to the Ukraine.
- 41:26Speaker 6: Well, I'm I'm I'm only you know, part of the delegation,
- 41:29Speaker 6: but you know, I guess I'm the media part of it.
- 41:32Speaker 11: But it's it's an incredible experience to go to go
- 41:35Speaker 11: to the Ukraine. It takes you know, eight hours to
- 41:39Speaker 11: you know, you have to go from either from Hungary
- 41:42Speaker 11: or you have to go from Poland there's no airspace.
- 41:44Speaker 11: You can't just fly in and go through humanitarian in
- 41:48Speaker 11: other words.
- 41:48Speaker 4: They won't they won't let you land in the Ukraine.
- 41:50Speaker 4: So you went to hungering the land and then driven
- 41:53Speaker 4: to the Ukraine. Exactly.
- 41:56Speaker 11: It's it's easy to take capital airlines today, which doesn't exist,
- 41:59Speaker 11: as you know. But but you know, if there's no
- 42:03Speaker 11: way to there's no way to get there right now
- 42:06Speaker 11: other than other than you dribven in there. They have
- 42:09Speaker 11: like navy, a Navy ceo, a scientist and this is
- 42:13Speaker 11: a it's called Heroes for Heroes for Football and this
- 42:17Speaker 11: is foundation, the Attacking Foundation started this a few years ago.
- 42:23Speaker 6: It's really a brilliant thing.
- 42:25Speaker 4: Now in the United States. We got all the Europeans
- 42:28Speaker 4: coming to the United States playing soccer, and you guys
- 42:32Speaker 4: went to Ukraine to play football, American football.
- 42:38Speaker 11: It sounds like a Polish joke, right, but it's not.
- 42:41Speaker 11: It's actually it's not really uh I'm kidding, it's it's
- 42:46Speaker 11: it's really an amazing well, heroes here a football for
- 42:49Speaker 11: Heroes program.
- 42:50Speaker 6: And he did and George the governor, former governor did
- 42:54Speaker 6: this with the.
- 42:56Speaker 11: With Roger you know Rogers Dell from the NFL, where
- 43:00Speaker 11: they set up a program bringing footballs. A lot of
- 43:03Speaker 11: the troops in you know, in Ukraine have children. Their
- 43:07Speaker 11: children are restless as that as their fathers are out,
- 43:09Speaker 11: you know, fighting and away, they're sitting in these small
- 43:12Speaker 11: villages and homes. So they bought American football into the
- 43:16Speaker 11: Ukraine where they actually have soldiers as coaches, Ukrainian soldiers,
- 43:20Speaker 11: not American. So imagine American football, you know, touchdown, not
- 43:24Speaker 11: the one you kick like they're doing here in a
- 43:26Speaker 11: and you know it at Meadowlands or whatever you want
- 43:29Speaker 11: to call it today over in East Rudford. It's a
- 43:32Speaker 11: whole it's a.
- 43:33Speaker 6: Whole different kind of thing, you know, a whole different
- 43:36Speaker 6: kind of thing, and it's doing really well.
- 43:38Speaker 11: It's we're excited. You'll expect about five hundred kids that
- 43:43Speaker 11: will be you know, that will be that will be
- 43:45Speaker 11: there and I'm I'm just blessed to be part of
- 43:49Speaker 11: this program, Football for Heroes program.
- 43:52Speaker 4: How many people are on how many people in delegation.
- 43:56Speaker 11: We have ten people and it's I'm exc it's one
- 44:00Speaker 11: of the you know, the greatest experience in my life.
- 44:02Speaker 11: The only thing that scares me is that, you know,
- 44:06Speaker 11: thirty thousand Russians get killed every month in Ukraine. You know,
- 44:10Speaker 11: but they but they have apps. They give you an
- 44:12Speaker 11: app that tells you when the drone is coming. So
- 44:14Speaker 11: you know, I feel good, you know, I feel lucky.
- 44:17Speaker 4: Now you have an app on your cell phone and
- 44:20Speaker 4: he goes off when the drone is coming for you.
- 44:23Speaker 11: Okay, okay, yeah, go it goes off and tells you
- 44:27Speaker 11: when when when a drone.
- 44:28Speaker 6: Is getting close to here?
- 44:29Speaker 11: Do you.
- 44:31Speaker 4: Get on the phone with us.
- 44:33Speaker 11: He's not, he's you.
- 44:35Speaker 6: Know, they're wrestling. They're in a different different area right now.
- 44:38Speaker 11: But Owen Pataki, the governor's son, who's leading the delegation,
- 44:42Speaker 11: because you know, he's a battacky and there's nothing better
- 44:44Speaker 11: than the Pataki Foundation to have this happened. He's a
- 44:50Speaker 11: former military he was in the army. He served in Afghanistan.
- 44:54Speaker 11: So it's really uh sorry, it's.
- 44:57Speaker 6: Really nice to have him, you know.
- 44:58Speaker 11: Doing what he's doing, having his father, you know, put
- 45:02Speaker 11: this together for us. I mean, he's been.
- 45:05Speaker 6: Doing this for several years.
- 45:06Speaker 11: They were bringing they were bringing heaters, they were bringing
- 45:09Speaker 11: you know, you know, humanitarian foods the last several years
- 45:13Speaker 11: when his first war started. It's not just doing this
- 45:15Speaker 11: now they've been providing millions of dollars.
- 45:17Speaker 6: In humanitarian aid. And listen to governor at eight years.
- 45:20Speaker 11: Old, could be sitting there, you know, thinking about you know,
- 45:23Speaker 11: you know the beach. He cares about people. He cares
- 45:27Speaker 11: about helping people and doing the right thing. And that's
- 45:29Speaker 11: what the Battacki Foundation is all about. That's what he started.
- 45:33Speaker 11: They get a million dollar grant from the US State Department,
- 45:36Speaker 11: So the US State Department is involved in this program
- 45:39Speaker 11: and then providing you know, listen what people think we're not.
- 45:42Speaker 11: You know, we're paying attention to one war over in
- 45:44Speaker 11: the Middle East. You know, we really have compassion for
- 45:47Speaker 11: the Ukraine and for the people over here more more
- 45:50Speaker 11: of the families.
- 45:51Speaker 4: And you know, the State Department gave a million dollar
- 45:54Speaker 4: grant to do this football for the for the youth
- 46:00Speaker 4: cream people. Oh is it for United States soldiers?
- 46:04Speaker 6: It was for the for this program that was set
- 46:07Speaker 6: up by the governor.
- 46:10Speaker 3: He tied us to Jake Novak speaking. You know, it
- 46:13Speaker 3: speaks to the popularity by the way you American football
- 46:16Speaker 3: connected to US military bases and then also bleeding over
- 46:20Speaker 3: to the local populations. It's nothing new. There have been
- 46:23Speaker 3: American NFL stars who grew up playing in Europe and
- 46:27Speaker 3: then came to the United States. He that, you know,
- 46:29Speaker 3: maybe did a year or two of college and then
- 46:31Speaker 3: went to the NFL. You know, as John mentioned, we're
- 46:34Speaker 3: in the midst of this World Cup thing where it's
- 46:37Speaker 3: being jammed down our throat soccer soccer, soccer, soccer. Uh,
- 46:40Speaker 3: it's nice to see the United States promoting our number
- 46:44Speaker 3: one American sport, which is American football, over there. And
- 46:48Speaker 3: they love it there. I mean, you know Roger Goodell,
- 46:50Speaker 3: you mentioned his name. You know, the NFL has got
- 46:52Speaker 3: to be loving the response to those NFL games that
- 46:55Speaker 3: have been going on in Europe. They are playing more
- 46:57Speaker 3: and more games in Europe every year, including this coming season.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Uh.
- 47:01Speaker 3: This is an investment in the future for the NFL,
- 47:04Speaker 3: and it's they love it, don't they.
- 47:07Speaker 11: The deal with the kids. If you see the kids'
- 47:09Speaker 11: faces in the Ukraine, how wonderful.
- 47:12Speaker 6: Its just it makes a difference in the lives of people.
- 47:14Speaker 11: And you know what what you know, what what Governor
- 47:17Speaker 11: Battacki's foundation is doing.
- 47:19Speaker 1: You know, in in, it, in it in the in the.
- 47:21Speaker 6: Greek word it's called mitzvah. Is that Greek or Jewish?
- 47:24Speaker 3: I don't even know that's a Hebrew word, but I'm
- 47:26Speaker 3: sure there's a Greek word. It has a Greek origin as.
- 47:30Speaker 6: Well.
- 47:30Speaker 11: I think John has one one percent of every everything
- 47:33Speaker 11: there is anyway, So bottom bottom line, the word mits
- 47:36Speaker 11: for you know, he's doing a misfit for the people here,
- 47:38Speaker 11: He's doing a misfit for the children. I mean, these
- 47:40Speaker 11: troops are you know, is a fighting, you know, to
- 47:44Speaker 11: try to survive and keep their nationalism, keep their country alive.
- 47:47Speaker 11: Imagine if Russians came into your country trying to take
- 47:50Speaker 11: your homes and and all of a sudden, I mean
- 47:52Speaker 11: I remember going here last year. I mean I saw
- 47:55Speaker 11: buildings though blown up. When we're giving heaters, giant industrial heaters,
- 47:59Speaker 11: the size, you know, size of cars to keep people
- 48:02Speaker 11: warm in the middle of the cold, because there's nothing
- 48:04Speaker 11: worse than being in the Ukraine or being in some
- 48:06Speaker 11: of these weathers, some of the weather and not having
- 48:09Speaker 11: heat to keep your family warm. And sometimes when you
- 48:11Speaker 11: look at things, you know, we complain about little.
- 48:13Speaker 6: Things, you really forget about the big picture.
- 48:16Speaker 11: Of life, about the things that when people don't have
- 48:18Speaker 11: a place to live and they go homeless, they don't
- 48:21Speaker 11: have food on their things, you really look at life
- 48:24Speaker 11: and it takes a different turn. So is it worth
- 48:26Speaker 11: risking your life to come to a thing to help people?
- 48:29Speaker 11: One hundred percent?
- 48:30Speaker 6: Because you know, these people needed, need to need, a need.
- 48:33Speaker 11: A blessing, and the BATTACKI Foundation is providing that blessing
- 48:37Speaker 11: for them. And it's you know, it's just you see
- 48:39Speaker 11: the smile on these kids' faces by just touching a football,
- 48:42Speaker 11: I mean American football.
- 48:43Speaker 6: I mean I went to the you know, the the
- 48:47Speaker 6: what do you call it, the the the World Cup.
- 48:49Speaker 11: A few days ago, and that was it was great,
- 48:52Speaker 11: It was amazing. I mean, you know, question, you're two
- 48:54Speaker 11: hundred dollars for lunch. But when you see a you know,
- 48:57Speaker 11: a five dollar you know, a fight hour high dog
- 49:00Speaker 11: being given, you know, and I gotta tell you that
- 49:02Speaker 11: great great hot dogs there by the way. But when
- 49:04Speaker 11: you see a hot dog being given, you know, to
- 49:07Speaker 11: uh with footballs and its just it brings American.
- 49:10Speaker 6: Back home and it makes you look at the big
- 49:11Speaker 6: picture in life. And John does does mixers every day,
- 49:15Speaker 6: so he knows what that's like.
- 49:16Speaker 4: Well, Todd, stay in touch with us from the Ukraine.
- 49:19Speaker 4: And if Owen Tacky is available later on, we'd love
- 49:23Speaker 4: to talk to him and get his perspective on things
- 49:26Speaker 4: and and we'll stay safe and we'll talk to you
- 49:28Speaker 4: again soon.
- 49:29Speaker 3: Yeah, and tell Owen maybe the State Department can help
- 49:31Speaker 3: his old Cornell football team because they haven't had a
- 49:33Speaker 3: winning season in.
- 49:33Speaker 4: Twell him a person.
- 49:35Speaker 11: Okay, I got I gotta tell you, tell you one quick,
- 49:40Speaker 11: funny story, real quick. So last year I was there
- 49:43Speaker 11: and my wife, you know, I called my wife and
- 49:44Speaker 11: I was sitting at McDonald's and Kiev and had two
- 49:47Speaker 11: mercenaries sitting next to me with guns. I FaceTime my
- 49:50Speaker 11: wife because what are you doing? I said, I'm having
- 49:53Speaker 11: launched at McDonald's.
- 49:54Speaker 6: Todd, be careful, so you know it's just whatever.
- 49:58Speaker 4: Stay safe, stay safe. And I hope you got that
- 50:02Speaker 4: app on your telephone so if a drone is coming
- 50:04Speaker 4: for you, you know it's forward. We gotta go. We
- 50:12Speaker 4: got Rod Yellow Line last night, Love you, thank you,
- 50:16Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 50:18Speaker 2: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 50:21Speaker 2: podcast network.
- 50:24Speaker 16: Well, the Obama Library is officially open, and today a
- 50:28Speaker 16: whole bunch of presidents were there, of course former President Obama,
- 50:33Speaker 16: also Joe Biden, Bill Clinton was there, George W.
- 50:37Speaker 4: Bush. And I'm glad all the presidents should be they
- 50:42Speaker 4: always do, they always do.
- 50:43Speaker 8: Show up.
- 50:44Speaker 9: Yeah, show up for W's opening there as they should.
- 50:49Speaker 4: Right.
- 50:49Speaker 16: Beautiful, by the way, you had a fiftieth.
- 50:53Speaker 4: Let's go, Let's go to Roddie's all the way, And Rod,
- 50:56Speaker 4: what are you doing in Europe?
- 50:57Speaker 17: By the way, I'm in Serbia, you know where my
- 51:01Speaker 17: father came from. And I have some business stuff that
- 51:04Speaker 17: I do here, and so that's why I'm here.
- 51:07Speaker 8: And it's midnight, you should know.
- 51:08Speaker 17: And I was probably gonna go to bed. But anytime
- 51:11Speaker 17: you guys call, I drop everything I'm doing.
- 51:13Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
- 51:14Speaker 19: Rod.
- 51:15Speaker 4: There's all kinds of crap going around about the about
- 51:20Speaker 4: the Obama Obama Library, that people owed money, things like that.
- 51:27Speaker 4: I'm listening. I'm glad he built it in Chicago, that's
- 51:30Speaker 4: where he's from. I built and it looks like a
- 51:32Speaker 4: beautiful project. That's what it is. But have you heard
- 51:36Speaker 4: anything of what what do you hear? I mean, you
- 51:38Speaker 4: were the governor, you get all the inside track, give
- 51:41Speaker 4: us the inside track of what's going on. In Chicago.
- 51:44Speaker 17: Well, the inside track is that African American Contractors Association
- 51:49Speaker 17: is suing Obama's library administrators or whoever is responsible for
- 51:54Speaker 17: doing the construction of the projects because they haven't been
- 51:56Speaker 17: paid millions of unpaid bills. Million the dollars worth of
- 52:00Speaker 17: unpaid bills, the black contractors, monorady firms, and it's why.
- 52:05Speaker 4: The Obama short money. I'm sure they're not short money. Well, well,
- 52:09Speaker 4: have the fundraising gun done.
- 52:12Speaker 17: The five hundred million dollars over budget and within some
- 52:15Speaker 17: of the tribe the budget wow, wow, they should have
- 52:19Speaker 17: got they should have made.
- 52:20Speaker 4: He thinks he's still president.
- 52:21Speaker 17: He would have done under thought.
- 52:23Speaker 16: Did did you hear what your other favorite governor said
- 52:26Speaker 16: gout Patterson?
- 52:27Speaker 4: He said, maybe he thinks he's still president.
- 52:28Speaker 17: Of Patterson, what do you say?
- 52:30Speaker 3: I said, maybe he thinks he's still president.
- 52:36Speaker 17: Look, I don't know the feeling that he has. And
- 52:38Speaker 17: I don't mean to be disrespectful to President Obama because look,
- 52:41Speaker 17: he was the president, God bless him, and he's right
- 52:44Speaker 17: to have a library. And you're right, it's great that
- 52:46Speaker 17: all the other presidents came there. But you know how
- 52:48Speaker 17: I'm going to treat the presidential Library, Obama's Presidential Library.
- 52:51Speaker 17: John Katsi Matd's I'm gonna treat it the way I
- 52:53Speaker 17: treated the Law School library when I was there. I'm
- 52:56Speaker 17: just not gonna go.
- 53:02Speaker 16: Now, what's the buzz about the look of it. I've
- 53:05Speaker 16: seen the look of it, and it looks it's like
- 53:07Speaker 16: an isore. I mean, it's a very weird construction. A
- 53:11Speaker 16: lot of people are not even happy about a visual life. Yeah, yeah,
- 53:15Speaker 16: you heard the judge Weinberg said it looks like an
- 53:18Speaker 16: ugly prison. It really does. And Chicago is such a
- 53:20Speaker 16: beautiful city, but it's of all designs. What do you
- 53:24Speaker 16: make of that? What you're you're an expert.
- 53:27Speaker 17: I am an expert. I know something about prisons, and you're.
- 53:29Speaker 16: Right, so how does this compare to the prison you
- 53:39Speaker 16: were in?
- 53:41Speaker 17: I'm almost afraid the prison I was in might have
- 53:43Speaker 17: been actually more physically attractive than this one. You know,
- 53:47Speaker 17: you know, criticize, but I know that neighborhood where that
- 53:50Speaker 17: library is very well. Obama used to live there and
- 53:53Speaker 17: it's a beautiful neighborhood and Jackson Park is historic. The
- 53:56Speaker 17: Irontal analyst didn't want Obama to have the library there
- 53:59Speaker 17: because they didn't want it tomorrow. The park scenes, the
- 54:02Speaker 17: Friends of the Parks organization, which is very active in
- 54:05Speaker 17: Chicago protecting our late front parks, which are beautiful, fought
- 54:09Speaker 17: the Obama people to prevent that library from going in
- 54:12Speaker 17: that place, and they didn't prevail. Obama did, but unfortunately
- 54:17Speaker 17: I think they made they add an insult to injury
- 54:19Speaker 17: by building something that's really objectively unattractive and unappealing, that
- 54:24Speaker 17: is not at all a good look in library for presidents.
- 54:27Speaker 17: And if you look at the other presidential libraries, it
- 54:28Speaker 17: looks nothing like those.
- 54:30Speaker 16: Yeah, the others have sort of a grandeur about them
- 54:33Speaker 16: and have this one. You're right, and there's something missing.
- 54:37Speaker 16: And obviously clearly it took them a long time to
- 54:41Speaker 16: build this. I mean there were Claire hurdles.
- 54:43Speaker 9: So Chicago is known for his great architecture, Lewis B. Sullivan,
- 54:48Speaker 9: Frankloyd Wright.
- 54:49Speaker 6: And this.
- 54:50Speaker 17: Yeah, Daniel Burnham said, make no small plans, right, you know,
- 54:55Speaker 17: maybe what they had to do to address some of
- 54:57Speaker 17: the optics of that library because it looks so much
- 54:59Speaker 17: like prison is I recommend they have a rod Blogoivitch
- 55:03Speaker 17: wing in that library to fit in with the actual architecture.
- 55:06Speaker 9: Well, Actually, Governor, I was going to suggest that you
- 55:08Speaker 9: and I create governor's libraries in each other's states, and
- 55:12Speaker 9: they definitely look better than anything Obama put up.
- 55:17Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so, not.
- 55:19Speaker 7: A high bar.
- 55:25Speaker 16: By the way, I hear some interesting kind of breaking
- 55:28Speaker 16: newsday with US governor. Here's a little bit of breaking
- 55:31Speaker 16: news coming out.
- 55:32Speaker 8: It's breaking news WABC.
- 55:35Speaker 16: President Trump has settled. There was a one hundred million
- 55:39Speaker 16: dollar lawsuit with his niece who called him the most
- 55:43Speaker 16: dangerous man. Remember this was Mary Trump. That lawsuit was
- 55:46Speaker 16: filed over accusations that she leaked financial information and family
- 55:51Speaker 16: talks tax documents to The New York Times. We're not
- 55:55Speaker 16: hearing what the details are, but both parties expect to
- 55:57Speaker 16: seek a formal dismissal, and the letter says that the
- 56:01Speaker 16: parties are pleased to report they've reached an agreement and
- 56:03Speaker 16: anticipate to be able to stipulate a dismissal. You what
- 56:08Speaker 16: do you think about that, judge? What's your reaction?
- 56:10Speaker 4: You're smiling?
- 56:10Speaker 7: Go ahead.
- 56:12Speaker 9: I think families are interesting things.
- 56:15Speaker 16: Yeah, exactly, that's a good way to say it. Well, yeah, Ron,
- 56:19Speaker 16: what do you think from Europe?
- 56:22Speaker 17: I think President Trump's niece is not going to be
- 56:25Speaker 17: invited to mar A Lago.
- 56:29Speaker 16: Well said, before we let you go, what's the reaction,
- 56:32Speaker 16: by the way over there in Europe to everything that's
- 56:35Speaker 16: going on with Iran, because obviously President just left Europe,
- 56:39Speaker 16: he already landed, but he was over there and meeting
- 56:41Speaker 16: with so many of the G seven.
- 56:45Speaker 17: Well, it's interesting. I could speak from Serbia where I am,
- 56:48Speaker 17: and they here in Serbia love Donald Trump, huge supporters
- 56:52Speaker 17: of Donald Trump. In fact, there were polls European polls
- 56:55Speaker 17: indicating the level of support of Europeans towards Trump, and
- 56:58Speaker 17: Serbia by far had the large just numbers of support
- 57:01Speaker 17: for Trump, better than sixty percent support. Uh so he's
- 57:04Speaker 17: very popular here. And the president here of Boutige has
- 57:07Speaker 17: invited President Trump to visit Belgrade h and promised promised
- 57:11Speaker 17: him a huge react crowd and reaction of favorability. Uh
- 57:17Speaker 17: And you know, I think, I think, not to get
- 57:21Speaker 17: too serious, but I do think it's in America's national
- 57:24Speaker 17: interest to develop better relations with Serbia, because Serbia is
- 57:27Speaker 17: the biggest country in the Western Balkans, has an economic
- 57:31Speaker 17: growth that is above the European average. Right now, it's
- 57:35Speaker 17: a vibrant country on the move.
- 57:36Speaker 8: It come a long way.
- 57:38Speaker 17: From what happened in the late nineteen ninety nine when
- 57:40Speaker 17: we bombed them.
- 57:41Speaker 16: So you and I were there together, Rod, Remember you
- 57:44Speaker 16: and I were there.
- 57:46Speaker 19: I was a camp da Remember vividly.
- 57:48Speaker 4: I was a camp I was a Camp David asking
- 57:52Speaker 4: Bill Clinton not to bomb and.
- 57:54Speaker 16: They bombed.
- 57:57Speaker 19: To do it.
- 57:57Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, yeah, remember and actually remember remember the story, Rod,
- 58:01Speaker 16: This is so funny. Jesse Jackson, do you remember this?
- 58:03Speaker 16: He said, No, I called battling. All right, they're knocking
- 58:06Speaker 16: a bomb and as soon as you and I were
- 58:07Speaker 16: on the bus, the bombs were flying everywhere.
- 58:10Speaker 4: No, he had to do it because Bill Clinton. He
- 58:12Speaker 4: told me the story. He felt, what was that African
- 58:15Speaker 4: country he didn't send her five thousand troops to?
- 58:18Speaker 16: Oh yeah that I was at a Smalliger Rwanda. Yes,
- 58:22Speaker 16: I remember that.
- 58:24Speaker 9: I remember that he.
- 58:25Speaker 4: Sent the five thousand troops and they lost to half
- 58:27Speaker 4: a million people or something.
- 58:29Speaker 16: Yeah, he felt he had to.
- 58:30Speaker 4: He had to, and that's the he said to do it.
- 58:32Speaker 4: And it was Greek Easter and I asked him not
- 58:35Speaker 4: to do it. The archbishop had asked me to tell him,
- 58:37Speaker 4: ask him not to do it on Greek Easter. He
- 58:40Speaker 4: says John, I have to do it.
- 58:41Speaker 16: I just wish he would have waited until we made
- 58:43Speaker 16: it into the hotel, don't you think, Rod, Look, I.
- 58:47Speaker 17: Frankly wish he never did it. I you know, I
- 58:49Speaker 17: love John Kasim kid, but I think that was the
- 58:50Speaker 17: wrong thing to do the United States and natal bombs aside,
- 58:53Speaker 17: I tried to stop it. You know what if that
- 58:57Speaker 17: remind Joe Ye, I mean he was with Putin before Putin.
- 59:04Speaker 16: All right, well said there, Rod, Thank you very much, Rod,
- 59:09Speaker 16: thank you so.
- 59:09Speaker 4: Much for truth. God bless America.
- 59:15Speaker 2: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 59:19Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 59:21Speaker 3: I am happy to remind you that it is if
- 59:24Speaker 3: you still have to go to work, at least the
- 59:26Speaker 3: traffic will be a little bit better. How about that
- 59:29Speaker 3: stock markets are closed this morning, there is futures trading,
- 59:32Speaker 3: and more importantly, there's oil trading. And I have more
- 59:35Speaker 3: good news for you. If you're taking this long weekend
- 59:38Speaker 3: to go and do a long drive somewhere, maybe do
- 59:40Speaker 3: a little day trip.
- 59:42Speaker 18: You have.
- 59:44Speaker 3: The twenty ninth straight day of lower gas prices in
- 59:46Speaker 3: this country as far as national average is concerned. And
- 59:50Speaker 3: that's my favorite thing to say here as I'm feeling
- 59:51Speaker 3: in for Sid and friends. I'm Jake Novak, feeling in
- 59:53Speaker 3: for Sid Rosenberg. John Cassimeteite's is with us, He's he'll
- 59:57Speaker 3: be back with us in just a moment. Wanted to
- 59:58Speaker 3: get you updated on that particular news. I mean, that's
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: the news you want to wake up to. Possibly no
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: work today, definitely no school. Lower gas prices, oils trading.
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: By the way, even though the stock market is not
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: today and we're at the seventy six dollars a barrel
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: level we were lower yesterday, but we're going to still
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: see lower gas prices tomorrow. The national average will be
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: lower as well. Three ninety seven is the national average
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: for one gallon of gas regular, and that is down
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: fifty six cents from a month ago today and now
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: only ninety nine cents higher from where we were on
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: day one of the Iran wars. So we're starting to
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: get back to normal here. And that's exactly as John
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: Casimtete's predicted. And for all of you people who hate
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: those evil speculators on those oil speculators, they make me
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: pay so much money. Now you're thanking them, because if
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: we had federal freezes on oil prices, and gasoline prices,
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: it wouldn't go down so fast either. These people who
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: send the market up send it down, and gasoline prices
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: are moving down pretty quickly. Usually they take a lot
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: longer to respond to lower oil prices. But you know,
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: these local franchises, these guys who own these gas they
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: don't want to lose customers. You know, when gas prices
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: go up, it kills the gas these gas stations. It
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: helps the oil companies, but the gasolines, say, the Phillip
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: stations and everyone around you, they get hurt because people
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: don't come in, or they do come in, but then
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: they don't buy the m and ms and the coke
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: and whatever else, and the bottles of water that they sell.
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: So that's an important development. Not the greatest news though,
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: coming out of Lebanon this morning, and this is something
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: that's very very much at the forefront of the international
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: news when it comes to the Iran deal, et cetera,
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: et cetera. Hezbollah used either an anti tank missile or
- 1:01:42Speaker 3: a highly weaponized drone to hit an Israeli tank in
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: Lebanon overnight and killed the entire crew five dead, four
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: dead actually, and that included the tank battalion commander a commander,
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: and Israel retaliated and retaliated hard hitting Hesbola infrastructures in
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: Lebanon's Bacav Valley, which by the way, is still a
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: major hashish producing region in the world, which is why
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: people have been fighting over it since ancient ancient times.
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: It's not just about terrorism, it's not just about religion.
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: It's also about controlling some of the best hashish growing
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: lands in the history of the world. So that's what
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: we got going on right now. So the question is,
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: is this what's throwing a wrench in the continued talks
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: between the US and Iran. Vice President j D Vance's
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: trip now confirmed by the way, it has been postponed.
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: He was supposed to go to Geneva to continue the
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: talks and flesh out the nuclear material handover by the Iranians,
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: the whole nine yards. I don't think that that was
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: actually postponed because of what happened in Lebanon just now,
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: because it looked like it was going to be postponed
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: before then. But again, and as you just heard, we
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: replayed the interview with Mark Levin and a position I
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: think a lot of people need to understand about this
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: Iran deal. Journalistic point of view, you're going to hear
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: us on talk radio seventy seven to ABC talk about
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: the details of the Iran deal. From a journalism point
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: of view, that's the responsible thing to do. But from
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: an analysis point of view, I can boil it down
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: to you for one thing, which is, we know Iran's
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: going to break the deal. So the only question is
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: what Donald Trump will do when they break the deals,
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: as simple as that. And you can trust or not trust.
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: But honestly, if there is any president in US history,
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: or at least the last fifty years, who would do
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: something if Iran breaks the deal, it would be Trump.
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: I mean, that's where your odds would be. If you
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: think the odds are low, fine, but you can't put
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: another president's odds higher. He talked a little bit earlier
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: about how the Socialist Movement, which couldn't get better than
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: two percent of a vote when it ran on its own,
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: changed its strategy a few years ago to try to
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: take over the Democratic Party, and that was with people
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: like Bernie Sanders and folks like AOC and stuff like that.
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: And of course are mayors are on mom, Donnie. These
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: are all socialists who have taken over a significant part
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: of the Democrat Party. Well, they're trying again now with
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: a number of elections across the country. But in New
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: York this congressional election in the thirteenth New York Congressional District,
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: which is a lot of Harlem. This is Uptown Manhattan,
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: parts of the Bronx. It has been represented for five
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: terms by a guy named Andreano Espaat, who is no
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: right winger. Not only is he a Democrat, he's a
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: left wing Democrat folks. He's anti Ice, he's anti Trump.
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: But that's not good enough for the Democrat socialists, for
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: the socialists, because the socialists, as much as they talk
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: about economic policy, they're called socialists. After all. It does
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: seem to be like their number one policy is to
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: hate on Israel when I don't know where that helps
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: anybody economically in New York City, especially not in the
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: Bronx and Uptown and Harlem. I don't get it. But
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: they think that they can win with this, but they're
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: not going to get all of the support that they want.
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: Very interesting report about the person who's challenging Adriana Espayat.
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: This is this Democrat socialist in this primary, which is
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: this Tuesday. By the way, her name is Darlisia Chevalier.
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: She is running against espayat The polls are hard to
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: read in this election. Counterintuitively, for those of you who
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: know about polling, the smaller the sample size, the harder
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: it is to poll accurately. You would think it would
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: be easier. For some reason, national polls are usually much
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: closer to being correct than these smaller region polls. So
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: I don't even want to talk about the polls right
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: now because hard to believe. But it does seem to
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: be a very spirited campaign, and Dariza chevet for all
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: of her socialist talk, is getting millions and millions of
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: dollars funded to her. If you watch the Knicks Parade
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: on any one of the local channels here in New
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: York yesterday, commercials for her with Mom Donnie supporting her
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: well all over every commercial break during the parade. So
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: they paid a lot of money for this. Well, there's
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: a new report out about something that has already been
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: absolutely agreed to and everyone agrees to this. This is
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: not something that Chevalier denies that she was at a
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: rally on October eighth, This as well, before Israel retaliated
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: against the October seventh attacks in twenty twenty three that
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: celebrated the Kamas murders, celebrated the Ramas rapes. People were
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: jumping on it down. I'll play some sound from that
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: in a second. But this apparently is a bridge too
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: far for even some of the far leftist Democrats in
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: New York City. We just found out that a group
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: called the Broadway Democrats is not going to endorse Chevalet,
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: and they have strongly Endorsedespayatt, and they explain why in
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: a release that they sent out to all of their members,
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: and they made it really clear here who they are.
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: Quote the Broadway Democrats say, quote, we usually support the younger,
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: more progressive candidate end quote. But they can't do that
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: because at their own closed door endorsement meeting, when they
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: were interviewing Chevalier and Spayat, Chevalier refused, refused to condemn Ramas.
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: She wouldn't say bad word about them, and they gave
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: her time after time to do it, and she wouldn't
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: do it, and instead she just kept attacking Israel. And
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: they said, this doesn't make sense. You don't you want
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: to be anti Israel, okay, but she is pro Kamas.
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: And again now we have sound. This is sound from
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: a rally celebrating Hamas murders and rapes the day after
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: October seventh. She's in the front row. Listen to what
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: they're saying less.
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: Than twenty four hours ago on the land, from the
- 1:07:28Speaker 4: sea and from the air. The people have to step.
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: I mean, at this rally, they're so excited about the
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: rape and murder of people going to a music concert
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: and defenseless people and families on a kibutz who were
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: attacked Bachamas terrace. And she's in there celebrating, cheering, being
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: very excited. While we have some of these problems elsewhere
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: in the country as well. This is an interesting story
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: that just broke late last night. A man in Gainesville,
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: Florida has been indicted, arrested and indicted. It turned out
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: he was planning to commit a mass shooting attack at
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: an APAC office in Plantation, Florida. He tried to volunteer
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: to work there, and he armed himself with an AR fifteen,
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: including how with a silencer, and staked out the APAC
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: office in Plantation, Florida. This is the American Israel Public
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: Affairs Committee. These are American citizens who support Israel, and
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: yes they support candidates. They're not even in the top
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: twenty of people who make who donate money to candidates
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: across the country. But if you listen to some folks
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: who think that they're the number one, it's really outrageous. Well, anyway,
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: his name is Forrest Kendall Pemberton. I posted a picture
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: of him on my social media at Jake Jake ny
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: that's on x at Jake jke Andy. He seems nice.
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: You'll see a picture of him. He does not look
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: like enough standing citizen, but all joking aside. He was
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: planning a mass shooting attempt attack on the APAC offices.
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: This is according to the Department of Justice, and in
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: one I guess nicer caveat to this story. It turns
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: out his own family members are the ones who turned
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: him in, And that doesn't mean they don't care about him,
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: just means that, you know, could simply mean that they
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: knew that somebody who carries out mass shootings out they
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: often get killed themselves. You know, you're not doing your
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: criminal relatives any favors if you just let them commit
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: criminal acts. Let's put it that way anyway, that is
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: what's going on with all the aspects here of the
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: Iran deal. This now new attack has a lot attacking
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: in Israeli tank and killing the entire tank crew in
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: the israelis retaliating. Nothing yet from the White House about it,
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: And as we said in one of our earlier segments,
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: so be it. You've heard a lot about people talking
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: in Israel being very upset with this Iran deal. And
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: I could tell you this very definitively. If Israel is
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: allowed to retaliate against Lesbela in this way like they
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: did this morning US time, without any pushback from the
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: White House publicly, they'll be fine with it. You'll probably
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: hear the end of the complaints, because that, to me
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: and to a lot of people in Israel was the
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: number one problem with this deal. If Lesbela is not
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: going to be able to be protected by the deal
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: and Israel's going to be able to take care of
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: business there, then so be it.
- 1:10:30Speaker 6: So be it.
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: podcast network.
- 1:10:37Speaker 4: On a line with us, we have General Blaine Holt,
- 1:10:40Speaker 4: and well, there's nobody better than him. I found him
- 1:10:44Speaker 4: to be very reliable and really getting the information out.
- 1:10:48Speaker 4: Oh well, General, where do you want to start this morning?
- 1:10:52Speaker 4: It's early in the morning and the sun is trying
- 1:10:55Speaker 4: to shine. What's going on?
- 1:10:58Speaker 6: Well, it's going to shine, John, Thanks for having me on.
- 1:11:01Speaker 6: But man, do we have a royal mess in.
- 1:11:03Speaker 20: The geopolitical realm or in FORID affairs as we knew
- 1:11:07Speaker 20: we would. President Trump's strategy is not very much appreciated
- 1:11:12Speaker 20: in Tel Aviv right now, and it's got to be.
- 1:11:15Speaker 20: We seriously got to work out these misalignment problems with
- 1:11:18Speaker 20: our ally Israel.
- 1:11:20Speaker 4: Well, you know, Israel has to do what they have
- 1:11:23Speaker 4: to do, and I think Trump understands that. Americans understand that,
- 1:11:29Speaker 4: you know, and I understand it. In if the hesba
- 1:11:34Speaker 4: Lah attacks them, you know what I would do if
- 1:11:38Speaker 4: I was Israel. I take them twice as bad and.
- 1:11:42Speaker 19: You do what you have to do.
- 1:11:44Speaker 4: And you know, Trump may say, noughty, noughty, you shouldn't
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: have done that, But bottom line, Israel has to do
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: what they have to do.
- 1:11:54Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's exactly right.
- 1:11:55Speaker 20: They are in a survival sense having to just has belah.
- 1:12:01Speaker 6: What I'm wondering is is.
- 1:12:03Speaker 20: How much does hesblah have support left? Meaning their supply chains,
- 1:12:07Speaker 20: their intelligence, the IRGC is shredded. There's nothing left for
- 1:12:12Speaker 20: them to support HESBLA with. So I think it falls
- 1:12:16Speaker 20: to President Ayun of Lebanon, where we've got to go Listen,
- 1:12:20Speaker 20: what types of things do we have to do to
- 1:12:22Speaker 20: support you so that you stop material any kind of
- 1:12:26Speaker 20: material support that has belaws demanding from Lebanon.
- 1:12:29Speaker 4: Now you know what I said last night Trump. You know,
- 1:12:35Speaker 4: President Trump says make my day that if they continue
- 1:12:40Speaker 4: or we're sending me the ships along the along the
- 1:12:45Speaker 4: Hormouth coast, and if they attack one of those ships,
- 1:12:50Speaker 4: Trump is going to go in my opinion, my opinion,
- 1:12:53Speaker 4: I haven't talked to the President. I don't know what
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: he's gonna do, but just my opinion, he's going to
- 1:12:57Speaker 4: go in and knock out not you're not gonna hunt
- 1:13:00Speaker 4: any civilians, but we'rever the.
- 1:13:03Speaker 3: What do you call the ir GC.
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: Wherever the IRGC is, they'll knock out every colonel, they'll
- 1:13:11Speaker 4: knock out every major, and it can hurt them personally.
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: And that's my opinion.
- 1:13:15Speaker 20: What do you say, Jim, I think you're exactly right.
- 1:13:19Speaker 20: If there are colonels and majors even left, they took
- 1:13:23Speaker 20: a rale blow last time, but that doesn't mean that
- 1:13:27Speaker 20: there's not more to do. You've heard me say this.
- 1:13:30Speaker 20: I don't think that we get to a final agreement
- 1:13:33Speaker 20: without IRGC leaving the planet. But the concern we should
- 1:13:37Speaker 20: all have is as a martyr group of psychopaths that
- 1:13:41Speaker 20: only dream of our armageddon leave the planet, then we
- 1:13:45Speaker 20: have to watch for Tara cells here as their last
- 1:13:48Speaker 20: calling card. We have to take care of domestic security,
- 1:13:51Speaker 20: and just like the Israelis are taking care of their
- 1:13:54Speaker 20: own security. But I do think that President Trump, you know,
- 1:13:57Speaker 20: memorandum of understanding means we agree that we're going to
- 1:14:00Speaker 20: find a way to get to an agreement. We're just beginning.
- 1:14:02Speaker 20: Diplomatic sausage making is underway. It's unfortunate that the Switzerland
- 1:14:07Speaker 20: meetings are not going to begin in earnest, but I
- 1:14:09Speaker 20: think that they eventually will.
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: They will. They're taking the weekend off. I guess in
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: Monday morning, you know what you're gonna see Monday morning. Well,
- 1:14:19Speaker 4: you know, Israel shouldn't have done that, but they did
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: what they did, and our talks are continuing. The ships
- 1:14:26Speaker 4: are moving and the price of oil is going down.
- 1:14:29Speaker 20: Twelve million barrels yesterday and they are. I'm watching the
- 1:14:34Speaker 20: maritime tracker.
- 1:14:35Speaker 6: The ships are rolling through and that oil is needed Europe.
- 1:14:39Speaker 6: I can't even begin to explain with the time we
- 1:14:42Speaker 6: have how bad.
- 1:14:42Speaker 20: Off Europe is now in the energy department. Much of
- 1:14:45Speaker 20: their leadership's owned doing. But that's okay. We don't begrudge
- 1:14:49Speaker 20: the European peoples. And then the other thing is we
- 1:14:52Speaker 20: really tried to help out the world by draining down
- 1:14:54Speaker 20: our own stocks. We've got to get healthy again. And
- 1:14:57Speaker 20: so it's very, very good to see the straight.
- 1:15:00Speaker 4: I know President Trump, I know him a long time.
- 1:15:03Speaker 4: You know when he's going to fill up their reserves again.
- 1:15:05Speaker 4: When oil is below fifty dollars.
- 1:15:08Speaker 6: It'll be there soon. It looks like it's on its
- 1:15:10Speaker 6: way there.
- 1:15:11Speaker 3: Hey, General, Hold, this is Jake Novak. I just want
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: to talk a little bit more about this breaking news.
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: This attack last night Fesbola hitting an Israeli tank, either
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: with an anti tank missile or a weaponized drone, We're
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: not sure yet, killing the entire crew, including the battalion
- 1:15:25Speaker 3: commander lieutenant colonel in the Israeli Army. Israel hitting back
- 1:15:28Speaker 3: hard in the Macaw Valley as you just said, and
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: John just said, so far no word from the White House.
- 1:15:34Speaker 3: And I had to tell you, as someone who knows
- 1:15:36Speaker 3: the Israeli political situation very well, if that's going to
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: be the mo going forward, that Israel goes and retaliates
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: for attacks from Esbola and there's no word from the
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: White House, the Israelis will be a lot more okay
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: with this deal. If that's the way it's going to go.
- 1:15:50Speaker 20: I think you're right, But I also think there's a
- 1:15:52Speaker 20: lot of back channel diplomacy between Tel Aviv and Washington
- 1:15:56Speaker 20: going on right now, and they're going to define and
- 1:16:00Speaker 20: this is what we probably should have done at the outset,
- 1:16:02Speaker 20: and I had hoped that they had is there needs
- 1:16:04Speaker 20: to be joint rules of engagement about how what we're
- 1:16:08Speaker 20: when and how do you neutralize targets.
- 1:16:10Speaker 6: And I think they're going to get on the same
- 1:16:12Speaker 6: page with that. Look, if Israel season attack.
- 1:16:14Speaker 20: They've got to go after it, There's no question about that.
- 1:16:17Speaker 20: The other part is is logistically, now is an opportunity
- 1:16:21Speaker 20: to go finish off Hesbealah by choking off all of
- 1:16:24Speaker 20: their weapons stores and supply chains because the IRGC is
- 1:16:28Speaker 20: so bad off or Scott Descent is tearing up the
- 1:16:31Speaker 20: money laundering that they've been doing from Venezuela into Lebanon.
- 1:16:35Speaker 20: So I'm very optimistic.
- 1:16:36Speaker 6: It's just it's a rough couple of days. We've got
- 1:16:40Speaker 6: to get back on the same page with our ally,
- 1:16:43Speaker 6: but I think we're on the path to a very
- 1:16:45Speaker 6: good place. I'm overall very optimistic, but in the short
- 1:16:48Speaker 6: term we have to all remain very watchful.
- 1:16:52Speaker 4: Well, I will tell you, you know, knowing Trump, like
- 1:16:56Speaker 4: I said, and well, the intelligence agency listening to this
- 1:17:00Speaker 4: station they do listen, is Trump is waiting to see
- 1:17:05Speaker 4: you touch one of those ships going through through Make
- 1:17:09Speaker 4: my day, because he's gonna go in there and blow
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: the crap out of it and.
- 1:17:14Speaker 20: He'll start the revolution and aiden a Bettett as well. Yes,
- 1:17:17Speaker 20: so we'll see a whole new Iran come together. And
- 1:17:20Speaker 20: I look, I think at the end of the day,
- 1:17:22Speaker 20: you're going to see a new Iranian government. You're going
- 1:17:24Speaker 20: to see a non Islamic Republic of Iran that's going
- 1:17:28Speaker 20: to be good for everybody, and people will after forty
- 1:17:30Speaker 20: seven years of being used to these terrorists that are psychopaths.
- 1:17:34Speaker 6: We got to get used to the Iranians as something else,
- 1:17:37Speaker 6: But this is these are the dangerous days, these are
- 1:17:40Speaker 6: the ones, and that's why the president selected his vice president,
- 1:17:44Speaker 6: taking it that seriously to get this thing across the line.
- 1:17:47Speaker 6: But I think he will.
- 1:17:49Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, let's go. Let's go to that be fifty two.
- 1:17:53Speaker 4: Any update on those that BE fifty two going down?
- 1:17:58Speaker 20: You know, the only thing I can see that's new
- 1:18:01Speaker 20: is that one of the crew members has now come
- 1:18:03Speaker 20: out and made a statement that he had had serious
- 1:18:06Speaker 20: concerns about the mission overall.
- 1:18:08Speaker 6: Going into it.
- 1:18:09Speaker 20: I don't know whether that was aircraft related or that
- 1:18:12Speaker 20: maybe he thought the new equipment going on to the
- 1:18:14Speaker 20: bird was incompatible. But you know, when you take off
- 1:18:19Speaker 20: with an aircraft like that, you're not going to have
- 1:18:21Speaker 20: combat radars engaged until you're up airborne in a.
- 1:18:24Speaker 6: Safe regime of flight. So there's a lot more to
- 1:18:27Speaker 6: learn something. Still interested in how much gas they had,
- 1:18:29Speaker 6: because something's wrong.
- 1:18:30Speaker 4: Something is rotten somewhere, because one of the crew's wives
- 1:18:35Speaker 4: was saying that that they canceled it three times. Befoo. Yeah,
- 1:18:39Speaker 4: they had two Boeing engineers aboard. Something they don't want
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: to tell.
- 1:18:45Speaker 20: Us yet, right, But for overall air safety, we do
- 1:18:51Speaker 20: need to understand something of what happened without them having
- 1:18:55Speaker 20: to divulge classified information. There was nothing left of that airplane.
- 1:18:59Speaker 20: An entire be fifty too vaporized, and that's that's not
- 1:19:03Speaker 20: that's very unusual.
- 1:19:05Speaker 6: But it look if it was full of.
- 1:19:06Speaker 20: Gas and other things, then maybe maybe I could see
- 1:19:09Speaker 20: a talking if they had test fuel on board. I
- 1:19:15Speaker 20: have no knowledge that they had any kind of test
- 1:19:17Speaker 20: fuels on board that airplane, or sustainable aviation fuel as
- 1:19:20Speaker 20: they call it. But there's no wreckage with it descending
- 1:19:26Speaker 20: from not a very high altitude. That's very unusual.
- 1:19:29Speaker 4: I agree with you anything on that citation check the
- 1:19:33Speaker 4: first time a net jet plane went down.
- 1:19:36Speaker 6: Yeah, I just talked to a couple of corporate pilots yesterday.
- 1:19:39Speaker 6: It's kind of looking like what you and I had
- 1:19:41Speaker 6: surmised that we're I think we're going to find out
- 1:19:44Speaker 6: that the.
- 1:19:44Speaker 20: Pilot had a legitimate emergency and an unlandable configuration. But
- 1:19:49Speaker 20: but there are ways to mitigate the impact of such
- 1:19:52Speaker 20: an emergency from the cockpit. I wish the crew would
- 1:19:56Speaker 20: have taken more time when they were flying. I wish
- 1:19:59Speaker 20: they would have laid their decision to come down and
- 1:20:01Speaker 20: get that airplane on the ground. Less fuel is a
- 1:20:04Speaker 20: much better thing. When you have an airplane that that
- 1:20:07Speaker 20: doesn't have its landing gear anymore. As you well know,
- 1:20:10Speaker 20: you want to drain it on down to whatever the
- 1:20:12Speaker 20: lowest you can stomach is and then hold it off.
- 1:20:16Speaker 20: And and and what I will be interested to know
- 1:20:19Speaker 20: is what kind of human factors were happening between the
- 1:20:22Speaker 20: first officer and the captain. What was that conversation? Like
- 1:20:26Speaker 20: when when the black box recordings come out, If we
- 1:20:29Speaker 20: can get access to those, that'd be very helpful, I'm
- 1:20:31Speaker 20: sure for nets gets as well.
- 1:20:32Speaker 6: Well.
- 1:20:33Speaker 4: General Blaine Halt, thank you so much for everything you've done.
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: You know, continue to tell our listeners and the American
- 1:20:40Speaker 4: people the truth and we'll catch up with you again.
- 1:20:42Speaker 4: Will soon.
- 1:20:43Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to it. Take care, everybody.
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 1:20:50Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 1:20:52Speaker 3: I'm Jake Novak in for Sid Rosenberg. We've got John Katsmatidis,
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: we have Judge Richard Weinberg, we have George Venizelis. We
- 1:20:58Speaker 3: are all filling in for the usual sit in Friends team.
- 1:21:02Speaker 3: Uh And by the way, I hope I'm the first
- 1:21:04Speaker 3: person to tell you this. If you woke up this
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: morning and didn't know it's a federal holiday. You may
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: not have to worry teenth Juneteenth, but that doesn't mean
- 1:21:12Speaker 3: we're taking the time off, and neither is Kat McFarlane. Kat,
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: We've been talking already this morning, big breaking news, surprise, surprise,
- 1:21:19Speaker 3: because we'll attacked Israeli troops this morning. Yeah, just blow
- 1:21:24Speaker 3: up a tank. Yeah, this gambling on this establishment?
- 1:21:27Speaker 4: Well, what movie did we see that?
- 1:21:30Speaker 3: James Mason? Mason's line, kat, Uh, I'm actually encouraged by
- 1:21:35Speaker 3: the fact that so far we haven't heard anything from
- 1:21:37Speaker 3: the White House about it. I think that if the
- 1:21:38Speaker 3: Israelis get nothing, no words from the White House when
- 1:21:41Speaker 3: they have to retaliate like this, they'll be fine with this.
- 1:21:46Speaker 18: Yeah, here's the problem. It's who does want the deal
- 1:21:50Speaker 18: who doesn't want to deal? In Iran, they're probably at
- 1:21:53Speaker 18: least two groups. One group wants to deal because they
- 1:21:57Speaker 18: don't like the deal, but they're pragmatists and they realize
- 1:22:00Speaker 18: they have a country to run and they've got to
- 1:22:02Speaker 18: stop the economic pain. They know that the military punishment
- 1:22:06Speaker 18: would be severe, and they know that they can't deal
- 1:22:10Speaker 18: with the United States military. If the Estates military decides
- 1:22:13Speaker 18: to attack its energy infrastructure, in other words, wipe out
- 1:22:16Speaker 18: Iran's ability ever to make a nickel again. So they've
- 1:22:19Speaker 18: made a deal. But who doesn't want the deal? And
- 1:22:21Speaker 18: that's the I ergy see and the mullets, the military guys.
- 1:22:24Speaker 18: So guys are the guns. They don't want any deal.
- 1:22:27Speaker 18: Their deal is when Israel ceases to exist in America's
- 1:22:30Speaker 18: wiped off the face of the earth. So they're never
- 1:22:32Speaker 18: going to do a deal. But they know they can
- 1:22:34Speaker 18: sabotage a deal. And I think that's what's happened now
- 1:22:36Speaker 18: is that, Okay, Israel has to respond, right, they have
- 1:22:40Speaker 18: to defend theirself. Any sovereign nation has to defend itself.
- 1:22:43Speaker 18: So what does Iran do. It knows it can't do
- 1:22:46Speaker 18: military action because it will be severely punished the ways
- 1:22:50Speaker 18: I've just said. So it sort of tells hesb lot. Okay, guys,
- 1:22:54Speaker 18: this is a chance to really sabotage the deal. You guys,
- 1:22:57Speaker 18: go ahead, do something. We know Israel then respond and
- 1:23:00Speaker 18: then we can say, Okay, the deal is off. So
- 1:23:03Speaker 18: it's the powerless and the sense of the I RGC
- 1:23:06Speaker 18: can't They're not in a strong enough position in their
- 1:23:08Speaker 18: own country to do a deal to accept a deal,
- 1:23:11Speaker 18: but they know they can sabotage a deal. And that's
- 1:23:14Speaker 18: exactly what they did on October seventh, when they knew
- 1:23:17Speaker 18: that Israel was close to having a peace agreement with
- 1:23:21Speaker 18: Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords. So what do they do?
- 1:23:24Speaker 11: What did Iron do?
- 1:23:25Speaker 18: Sabotage the deal? I think that's what they're doing now.
- 1:23:27Speaker 18: And I'm not sure how you get out of this.
- 1:23:30Speaker 4: No, but everybody knows. Everybody knows that. I mean Iran,
- 1:23:35Speaker 4: probably the gangs in Iran, the IRGC, and Iran probably
- 1:23:40Speaker 4: told has billed to do it. That's why nobody's getting
- 1:23:43Speaker 4: excited because it's how do you call it routine for
- 1:23:47Speaker 4: them to do that? And Israel has to do what
- 1:23:51Speaker 4: Israel has to do.
- 1:23:53Speaker 18: Yeah, And the question then is does that scupper whatever
- 1:23:56Speaker 18: negotiations we're going to have going forward? Does it scupper weekend?
- 1:24:01Speaker 4: They want to take the weekend for the weekend.
- 1:24:02Speaker 18: I think they want to take the weekend off. But
- 1:24:04Speaker 18: you know what, President Trump's in it. He's ultimately going
- 1:24:07Speaker 18: to prevail, but he's got this time frame and potential
- 1:24:11Speaker 18: economic chaos if the strait of removes and oil doesn't
- 1:24:14Speaker 18: flow and so I think that part of the negotiation
- 1:24:17Speaker 18: was that the golf Arabs said to him, look, you
- 1:24:19Speaker 18: could do a big military operation, but Iran will retain
- 1:24:23Speaker 18: some kind of ability to destroy our energy infrastructure, creating
- 1:24:28Speaker 18: not only economic problems for the golf Arabs, but a
- 1:24:31Speaker 18: worldwide recession. So my guess is that Trump is buying time.
- 1:24:36Speaker 18: He's got a deal. This straight will be open. Prices
- 1:24:38Speaker 18: will go down, John, as you predicted, prices of oil
- 1:24:41Speaker 18: and of gas gasoline would go down very quickly, and
- 1:24:44Speaker 18: they have already started going down. President Trump goes into
- 1:24:48Speaker 18: an election, and then after the election, where he hopefully
- 1:24:52Speaker 18: does very well and his party retains the House and
- 1:24:55Speaker 18: the Senate, then President Trump because you know, then there's
- 1:24:58Speaker 18: nothing holding him back to to punish around and.
- 1:25:02Speaker 4: They won't dare do something to one of those ships
- 1:25:05Speaker 4: going through because he knows that Trump will go back
- 1:25:09Speaker 4: quadruple coupons.
- 1:25:11Speaker 18: Yeah, and we'll have every right to do it, and
- 1:25:13Speaker 18: the world will be behind him if he does it.
- 1:25:14Speaker 4: Yes, yes, And Judge Weinbergler, we got George Rennie Seliz three,
- 1:25:19Speaker 4: former head of the FBI in New York for four
- 1:25:22Speaker 4: years too. I mean, you guys have something to say.
- 1:25:24Speaker 9: kJ you good morning, Good morning, judge. So it seems
- 1:25:28Speaker 9: to me it's very simple. It's a question of when
- 1:25:30Speaker 9: you do it. You want to solve the Hesbela problem,
- 1:25:34Speaker 9: you take out Hesbalah. If you take out Hesbela problem,
- 1:25:37Speaker 9: you've taken out the last link for Iran, their protective device.
- 1:25:41Speaker 9: That's why they're in Lebanon. As you know, in the
- 1:25:43Speaker 9: first place, this is not an indigenous movement. This was
- 1:25:46Speaker 9: an invasion by Iran, putting their people into a sovereign state,
- 1:25:51Speaker 9: undermining that nation, Lebanon. The Lebanons people don't want them there,
- 1:25:55Speaker 9: The government doesn't want them there. Hesbela has to be
- 1:25:58Speaker 9: taken out. If hesbel has taken out, that Iron has
- 1:26:01Speaker 9: no ability to hit using their proxies.
- 1:26:04Speaker 3: Do you agree to.
- 1:26:05Speaker 9: Disagree on that?
- 1:26:06Speaker 17: Yeah?
- 1:26:06Speaker 19: I do.
- 1:26:07Speaker 18: I think it's all but it's all a matter of timing.
- 1:26:09Speaker 18: Exactly I don't understand. I don't understand is why Israel
- 1:26:12Speaker 18: never went in dig and destroyed his below when they
- 1:26:14Speaker 18: had the chance. You know, the tits for task stuff.
- 1:26:18Speaker 18: That's what's happening now. But why didn't Israel go in?
- 1:26:22Speaker 9: What historical That's an excellent question. So what historical point
- 1:26:26Speaker 9: time you're talking about, you talking about when Biden people
- 1:26:29Speaker 9: told them to restrain themselves and don't escalate. It is
- 1:26:32Speaker 9: that the time you're talking about you're talking about it
- 1:26:34Speaker 9: earlier last year, last.
- 1:26:35Speaker 18: Year, I think the last year. You know, when they
- 1:26:38Speaker 18: when they destroyed them.
- 1:26:39Speaker 9: Look, the answer is, I don't know what the understandings
- 1:26:43Speaker 9: are between the governments of Israel and the United States
- 1:26:47Speaker 9: what to do, when to do it right. But the
- 1:26:50Speaker 9: answer is you have to get rid of Hasbalah the
- 1:26:53Speaker 9: absolutely essential. You have to restore that integrity of that nation.
- 1:26:57Speaker 9: You have to give Lebanon back to the people Offbanon,
- 1:27:00Speaker 9: not to the people who actually the colonialists, who are
- 1:27:03Speaker 9: the the Iranians.
- 1:27:06Speaker 18: Yeah, now Hesbela is a foreign power occupying a sovereign nation.
- 1:27:10Speaker 11: And you're right.
- 1:27:11Speaker 18: Lebanon and the people want Hesbala out. The government of
- 1:27:15Speaker 18: Lebanon wants Hasbala out, the history wants has Bala out,
- 1:27:18Speaker 18: everybody wants Hesbala out. And I think ultimately hasbal gets
- 1:27:22Speaker 18: out or is taken out, that the matter will be
- 1:27:24Speaker 18: one of timing. And I just don't think the president
- 1:27:26Speaker 18: has the I just don't think he has the time
- 1:27:30Speaker 18: right now to deal with the one last remaining part
- 1:27:34Speaker 18: of the Iranian threatte.
- 1:27:36Speaker 4: How many of them are there in Lebanon? You know,
- 1:27:42Speaker 4: how many do you think?
- 1:27:43Speaker 18: Well, okay, so somebody explained this to me, the Lebanese
- 1:27:48Speaker 18: American but who grew up in Lebanon. His family is
- 1:27:51Speaker 18: still in Lebanon. He said, here's the problem that one,
- 1:27:55Speaker 18: you know, one house in the neighborhood is is Lebanese,
- 1:27:58Speaker 18: maybe Lebanese Christian. Then next door is another Lebanese family
- 1:28:02Speaker 18: Lebanese Muslim. And then next door to that, including some
- 1:28:07Speaker 18: of the people who probably married the relatives of those
- 1:28:09Speaker 18: other two groups that are in the same neighborhood is Hesbela,
- 1:28:13Speaker 18: And so it's they're so Hesbla is so sort of
- 1:28:16Speaker 18: interwoven with the Lebanese society that the Lebanese government and
- 1:28:21Speaker 18: the Lebanese people have just said, okay, well, we don't
- 1:28:23Speaker 18: like it. We'd like to get rid of them. But
- 1:28:25Speaker 18: you know, he's married to my cousin or his cousin
- 1:28:28Speaker 18: is part of Hesblah, but he's maybe not a big
- 1:28:31Speaker 18: part of Hesbela. They all know, the Lebanese all know
- 1:28:34Speaker 18: who Hesbela is and where they are. But they're so
- 1:28:37Speaker 18: interwoven with their own families, in their own certain neighborhoods,
- 1:28:40Speaker 18: that they haven't gone after them internally, you know. In
- 1:28:43Speaker 18: other words, the Lebanese government they married each other. They
- 1:28:47Speaker 18: all married each other.
- 1:28:47Speaker 9: Yeah, but that's all kchi. But that's always been the
- 1:28:52Speaker 9: game plan of the islamis going back to the formula
- 1:28:56Speaker 9: the brotherhood, the Muslim brotherhood, which is to infiltrate the
- 1:29:00Speaker 9: on to mind from within.
- 1:29:02Speaker 18: Yes, and they've done it very successfully, except now the
- 1:29:05Speaker 18: tide is coming back. I think President Trump is going
- 1:29:08Speaker 18: to deal with all this stuff, but he needs to
- 1:29:09Speaker 18: win these elections, and everyone assumes that the you know,
- 1:29:14Speaker 18: look he said everything else, he's done great, The economy's humming.
- 1:29:19Speaker 18: He took the side detour to deal with Iran snooks,
- 1:29:21Speaker 18: which I think he had to deal with. But now
- 1:29:24Speaker 18: he's got to figure out what is the art of
- 1:29:26Speaker 18: the possible. When Kissinger was negotiating in nineteen seventy three
- 1:29:30Speaker 18: with the North Vietnamese, it was, you know, what do
- 1:29:35Speaker 18: you get a hold? You wait to negotiate and get
- 1:29:36Speaker 18: a whole loaf for you to just take half a
- 1:29:38Speaker 18: loaf and then figure you'll go back and get the
- 1:29:40Speaker 18: other half. I think that's what President Trump's concluding is
- 1:29:44Speaker 18: that I'll take what i can get now, knowing full
- 1:29:47Speaker 18: well I'm leaving the armada there. My actions are going
- 1:29:50Speaker 18: to bring down oil prices so that Iran isn't going
- 1:29:55Speaker 18: to have the kind of income even if they are
- 1:29:57Speaker 18: allowed to sell oil again. The asss will be frozen unfrozen.
- 1:30:01Speaker 18: But we know we can see the money moving now.
- 1:30:03Speaker 18: We didn't know how to. We couldn't watch money moving
- 1:30:07Speaker 18: a year ago, six months ago. But because of the
- 1:30:09Speaker 18: cooperation between the golf Arab country banks and the US Treasury,
- 1:30:14Speaker 18: we can see where large bags of money are going. So,
- 1:30:17Speaker 18: for example, if Iatola's promised has bellowed, Okay, we're going
- 1:30:22Speaker 18: to start has blow, We're going to start funding you again.
- 1:30:24Speaker 18: Just in a few days, hang on. We'll be able
- 1:30:27Speaker 18: to see when that money moves, and what can we
- 1:30:30Speaker 18: do well, we can reimpose the sanctions. I don't think
- 1:30:32Speaker 18: this is not going to be a smooth glide plant path.
- 1:30:35Speaker 18: It's going to be up and down. And you know
- 1:30:37Speaker 18: John said, wait for the weekend, wait for Monday. It's
- 1:30:40Speaker 18: going to go up and down and up and down.
- 1:30:41Speaker 18: But the general direction of the economy, the US economy
- 1:30:45Speaker 18: and particularly the gasoline prices at the tank are going
- 1:30:48Speaker 18: to come The prices will come down, the economy will improve.
- 1:30:51Speaker 18: Hopefully that gives President Trump what he needs to prevail
- 1:30:55Speaker 18: in the elections, and then the Godfather will settle all scores.
- 1:31:00Speaker 4: You're absolutely right, well, kat thank you for coming on
- 1:31:03Speaker 4: this Juneteenth morning.
- 1:31:06Speaker 18: Oh I gosh, I didn't even know.
- 1:31:08Speaker 4: Yeah, stockalk. You can't make any money in the stock
- 1:31:13Speaker 4: market today, and the oil markets are open, so they're
- 1:31:17Speaker 4: just fluctuating a little bit. Yesterday it was seventy four,
- 1:31:20Speaker 4: today seventy six, so it's fluctuations. Thank you.
- 1:31:27Speaker 18: Yes, a week ago we were talking. A month ago,
- 1:31:30Speaker 18: we were talking about oil being over one hundred and
- 1:31:33Speaker 18: twenty dollars a barrel here.
- 1:31:34Speaker 4: Here, if you listen to Goldman Sachs, it's going to
- 1:31:36Speaker 4: be two hundred.
- 1:31:38Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a bad bet, that publicly, that public and.
- 1:31:45Speaker 4: Like I said to Maria Maria Baromo this morning, I'm
- 1:31:47Speaker 4: more right than wrong, Katie.
- 1:31:51Speaker 3: Thank you so much, kat thank you so much. We're
- 1:31:53Speaker 3: right back with more again, plenty to talk about. I
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: hope that you know that you don't have to go
- 1:31:58Speaker 3: to work today.
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: Hopefully, Sid and friends in the morning on the Red
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:32:06Speaker 3: Roger Stone, if you were here, I know you would
- 1:32:08Speaker 3: have brought an assortment. But Roger, we're talking about a
- 1:32:11Speaker 3: bunch of things. But I thought, you know, I think
- 1:32:13Speaker 3: for you, the best topic right now is the socialist
- 1:32:17Speaker 3: takeover of the Democrat Party, and we're seeing it up
- 1:32:20Speaker 3: close here in New York, but you see it all
- 1:32:22Speaker 3: over the country, don't you.
- 1:32:24Speaker 19: Well, first of all, let me say that I heard
- 1:32:26Speaker 19: Greg Kelly's got a side gig going hanging meet there
- 1:32:30Speaker 19: seventy seven WABC Studio. But you know it gives him
- 1:32:35Speaker 19: a chance to wear those heavier jackets that he prefers,
- 1:32:38Speaker 19: So anyway, he is he is, as you know for
- 1:32:42Speaker 19: many years on my international Best dress list. The Democrat
- 1:32:47Speaker 19: Party is even more screwed up than the Republican Party today.
- 1:32:52Speaker 19: The term moderate Democrat, that's an oxy moron. And yesterday
- 1:33:00Speaker 19: was particularly entertaining to watch the dedication of the Barack
- 1:33:05Speaker 19: Obama Presidential Library, which, as you know, Jake, was meant
- 1:33:09Speaker 19: to be a great economic engine and a a great
- 1:33:15Speaker 19: monument to DEI policies. Turns out they stiffed all of
- 1:33:19Speaker 19: the black tradesmen, skilled laborers, construction companies and all the
- 1:33:27Speaker 19: folks that built the place. They're now settled. They're begging
- 1:33:30Speaker 19: to settle for pennies on the dollar.
- 1:33:33Speaker 6: It's kind of a it's a.
- 1:33:34Speaker 19: Symbol, I guess, of the larger bankruptcy of the Democrat Party.
- 1:33:39Speaker 3: Judge Weinberg, you had an interesting statistic you were just
- 1:33:41Speaker 3: telling us during the break about how many people in
- 1:33:44Speaker 3: each party still love America.
- 1:33:46Speaker 9: This good morning, Roger, and this comes from CNN. CNN
- 1:33:49Speaker 9: said in two thousand and two thousand and one, you
- 1:33:52Speaker 9: had ninety percent of Republicans loved America and eighty percent
- 1:33:57Speaker 9: of the Democrats did. Today it was twenty five years later,
- 1:34:01Speaker 9: you have ninety percent of Republicans still love America, only
- 1:34:04Speaker 9: twenty nine percent of the Democrats still. That's an awful,
- 1:34:08Speaker 9: awful statistic. What are your thoughts, Roger.
- 1:34:12Speaker 19: You know, I remember growing up, you know, John Kennedy
- 1:34:17Speaker 19: was president. My parents spoke of Harry Truman, who they
- 1:34:21Speaker 19: kind of liked since they were Republicans. But both parties
- 1:34:25Speaker 19: believed in capitalism, both parties believed in free enterprise, Both
- 1:34:29Speaker 19: parties believed in the flag, both parties belonged to believed
- 1:34:33Speaker 19: in a strong national defense. Some thinking about Democrats like
- 1:34:37Speaker 19: Henry Scoop Jackson, Daniel Patrick Boynihan. These guys weren't radicals.
- 1:34:44Speaker 19: They may have been liberals, but they still loved America
- 1:34:47Speaker 19: and they loved the fundamentals of the country. That kind
- 1:34:51Speaker 19: of Democrat exists nowhere in the country, and to the
- 1:34:56Speaker 19: extent you have professional politicians like Gavin Newsom or j
- 1:35:01Speaker 19: or J. D. Pritsker, they have to cowtow to the
- 1:35:05Speaker 19: radical left. They have to move over there to have
- 1:35:07Speaker 19: any chance of upward mobility within their party. It's hard
- 1:35:12Speaker 19: to recognize today's Democrat party. It's it's just it's not
- 1:35:17Speaker 19: It's not the Democrat Party of your grandfather, that's for sure.
- 1:35:20Speaker 9: The big mistake, in my opinion, was when they allowed
- 1:35:24Speaker 9: Bernie Sanders to run against Hillary Clinton in the presidential
- 1:35:28Speaker 9: swoop stacks. He's never been a Democrat who's or as
- 1:35:31Speaker 9: a socialist or a so called independent. They allowed him,
- 1:35:34Speaker 9: and they legitimized him. They should have kept him out entirely.
- 1:35:38Speaker 9: He was never just because he caucused with the Democrats
- 1:35:41Speaker 9: in the center. There's no reason to let him go
- 1:35:43Speaker 9: into the presidential swoopsticks.
- 1:35:45Speaker 19: Let's judge they had to cheat, and they had to
- 1:35:47Speaker 19: cheat to stop.
- 1:35:48Speaker 6: Him from winning.
- 1:35:49Speaker 19: They had they had to rig the rules so that
- 1:35:52Speaker 19: he didn't get nominated. So here, here's a guy who's
- 1:35:55Speaker 19: not even a Democrat the year before becomes a Democrat
- 1:35:58Speaker 19: for purposes of of pursuing the nomination Hillary Clinton, who
- 1:36:04Speaker 19: had you know, who had much deeper roots in the
- 1:36:07Speaker 19: party and the experience of her husband's two presidential campaigns.
- 1:36:12Speaker 19: She had to bend the rules and sheat to beat him.
- 1:36:16Speaker 19: Fast forward to Robert Kennedy Junior tries to challenge Joe Biden.
- 1:36:20Speaker 19: They canceled the Iowa Caucasus, they canceled the New Hampshire primary.
- 1:36:25Speaker 19: They don't even give the guys a Kennedy for God's sakes,
- 1:36:27Speaker 19: that's party royalty. They never give him a shot. No,
- 1:36:31Speaker 19: the Democrat Party is rigged as well as out of
- 1:36:35Speaker 19: the mainstream. How they expect to win a national election,
- 1:36:38Speaker 19: I really don't know.
- 1:36:40Speaker 3: Well, we have a crime situation, you know, Roger, your
- 1:36:43Speaker 3: expertise on the Nixon campaigns and how law and order
- 1:36:47Speaker 3: became so central to Nixon's sixty eight campaign. And now
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: you have Democrats all over the country, especially here in
- 1:36:53Speaker 3: New York, boasting about how they want to empty the
- 1:36:55Speaker 3: prisons defund the police. But this is more than just
- 1:36:58Speaker 3: a slogan. I mean, they're really doing it, and they're
- 1:37:01Speaker 3: fighting law and order. This is a big part of
- 1:37:04Speaker 3: their fight against ice. It's not just about open borders,
- 1:37:06Speaker 3: it's about the fact they want these people who should
- 1:37:09Speaker 3: be in prison to be free on the streets. How
- 1:37:12Speaker 3: is this possibly polling well even among the voter the
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: radical voters. I don't even understand how anyone could vote
- 1:37:17Speaker 3: for this.
- 1:37:19Speaker 19: Now you combine that with their advocacy forgenderism, which is
- 1:37:25Speaker 19: completely and totally different than questions regarding you know, gays
- 1:37:30Speaker 19: and lesbians. This is a completely different issue that appeals
- 1:37:34Speaker 19: to maybe three percent of the populace. Between their soft
- 1:37:38Speaker 19: down crime policies, their high tax policies, and this manic
- 1:37:44Speaker 19: advocacy of the use of taxpayer dollars to to you know,
- 1:37:52Speaker 19: to transgender our children.
- 1:37:55Speaker 6: I just don't see where they think there's a constituency.
- 1:37:59Speaker 19: Certainly, my whole time democrats, working class democrats, I don't
- 1:38:02Speaker 19: see where they believe there's a constituency for those things.
- 1:38:06Speaker 3: Do they care? I mean, maybe that's the thing. Maybe
- 1:38:08Speaker 3: they not. After what we've seen in Los Angeles and
- 1:38:11Speaker 3: also in the state wide election in California. Maybe they
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: don't think they need to cater to the voters anymore
- 1:38:17Speaker 3: because they can steal elections, at least in these blue
- 1:38:19Speaker 3: states and cities.
- 1:38:20Speaker 9: What do you think they want to polish the electoral
- 1:38:21Speaker 9: college because they think that the consolidation of power in
- 1:38:26Speaker 9: the cities will get them the popular vote. So you'll
- 1:38:30Speaker 9: have a few states that will govern the future of
- 1:38:32Speaker 9: the country and everybody else is included out, as Samuel
- 1:38:35Speaker 9: Gowen would have.
- 1:38:36Speaker 19: Said, exactly right, And it puts a premium on stealing
- 1:38:40Speaker 19: exactly It puts an absolute premium in the urban areas.
- 1:38:44Speaker 19: So maybe that's their thinking that we don't have to
- 1:38:48Speaker 19: put forward common sense or even palatable policies because we're
- 1:38:52Speaker 19: not going to get an honest count. If you watch
- 1:38:55Speaker 19: this situation in Los Angeles, it's extraordinary. Am I have
- 1:38:59Speaker 19: talked to the last couple of days, and this weekend
- 1:39:02Speaker 19: on my show, I'm gonna talk to a mathematician. The
- 1:39:06Speaker 19: fact that the woman who is a city council member,
- 1:39:09Speaker 19: who was running third all night, who conceded on election night,
- 1:39:13Speaker 19: now suddenly after the polls closed the day after the election. Oh,
- 1:39:17Speaker 19: we found several hundred thousand new ballots and eighty five
- 1:39:21Speaker 19: percent of them are for her. Who could possibly believe
- 1:39:24Speaker 19: this nonsense?
- 1:39:26Speaker 4: You know, we have that tape when I viewed the
- 1:39:30Speaker 4: Attorney General of Los Angeles, and maybe if we have time,
- 1:39:34Speaker 4: we're played it at a nine o'clock hour.
- 1:39:36Speaker 3: Yeah we should, the US attorney Yeah, your attorney right,
- 1:39:40Speaker 3: but you know you know, Rogerstone, it's juneteenth and you
- 1:39:44Speaker 3: alluded to it a little bit before. And how the
- 1:39:46Speaker 3: symbolism of the fact that this Obama Library was built
- 1:39:50Speaker 3: by so many minority owned, black owned businesses who have
- 1:39:53Speaker 3: been stiffed still haven't paid. I actually heard from one
- 1:39:56Speaker 3: who is four million dollars in the red, a small company.
- 1:39:58Speaker 3: He can't recover from that. And you know this Democrats socialism,
- 1:40:03Speaker 3: this radical Democrat anti law and order thing. You know,
- 1:40:08Speaker 3: black people are twelve times more likely to be victims
- 1:40:11Speaker 3: of crime than white people. And the black voters want
- 1:40:16Speaker 3: law and order more than anyone. And this is the
- 1:40:19Speaker 3: who they this is their choice. I got to vote
- 1:40:21Speaker 3: for someone like Dera Liza Chevalier in New York or
- 1:40:24Speaker 3: Mom Donnie, these people who are going to unleash these
- 1:40:27Speaker 3: thugs back into their neighborhoods to attack them. They're not
- 1:40:29Speaker 3: going to go to Park Avenue, Roger, They're not going
- 1:40:31Speaker 3: to Fifth Avenue. They're attacking them in Harlem and Bedstye.
- 1:40:36Speaker 19: That's why you saw incremental but still meaningful increases among
- 1:40:44Speaker 19: African American voters for Donald Trump in the last presidential election.
- 1:40:47Speaker 19: With it all time highs now you can say, okay,
- 1:40:51Speaker 19: so you got take your twenty one twenty three percent
- 1:40:55Speaker 19: of the vote. It's a big difference between fifteen and
- 1:40:57Speaker 19: twenty three, enough to swing a state like Me, enough
- 1:41:00Speaker 19: to swing a state like Wisconsin, enough to swing a
- 1:41:03Speaker 19: state like Pennsylvania. I think that's going to continue.
- 1:41:06Speaker 6: As you have as a as you have a more.
- 1:41:10Speaker 19: Prosperous, more upwardly mobile black middle class. They have the
- 1:41:15Speaker 19: same desires as all Americans. They want good schools, they
- 1:41:18Speaker 19: want safe neighborhoods, they want job opportunities, they want low
- 1:41:23Speaker 19: food prices, they want little gas prices. They're not different
- 1:41:26Speaker 19: than anyone else.
- 1:41:28Speaker 7: Uh.
- 1:41:28Speaker 19: And the Democrats have always continued to treat them as
- 1:41:33Speaker 19: a as a constituency who would vote for them no
- 1:41:37Speaker 19: matter what they what they ever did for them, which
- 1:41:39Speaker 19: was by and large pretty much nothing.
- 1:41:44Speaker 3: George benezelas yea, what do you have to say.
- 1:41:47Speaker 21: Another part of the formula they figured out is they
- 1:41:50Speaker 21: put in these radical just DA's in these big cities
- 1:41:54Speaker 21: to help their cause and be soft on crime. I mean,
- 1:41:59Speaker 21: it's killing the yak is killing la Is killing Chicago, Philadelphia.
- 1:42:03Speaker 21: These DA's are are off on netther ones RESPONSI will
- 1:42:07Speaker 21: take care of the street crime, you know, the district
- 1:42:09Speaker 21: attorneys and and that's they figured out out. And it's
- 1:42:13Speaker 21: it's scary what's happening. They're destroying our cities of big
- 1:42:18Speaker 21: cities and just for their cause, to show that democracy
- 1:42:22Speaker 21: doesn't work.
- 1:42:22Speaker 9: Well, this was a developed plan. This is not coincidental.
- 1:42:25Speaker 9: They knew exactly what they were doing. They understood it
- 1:42:28Speaker 9: was easier to win a local DA's race than win
- 1:42:31Speaker 9: a whole city council or whole state legislature. So they
- 1:42:34Speaker 9: did it step by step by.
- 1:42:35Speaker 4: Step, step by step by step, they did it. I
- 1:42:37Speaker 4: remember they did it in Philadelphia. They did it step
- 1:42:40Speaker 4: by step, and every time, every time a regular Democrat
- 1:42:45Speaker 4: would object to what's going on, they all went in
- 1:42:49Speaker 4: and attacked that prison. And I forget his name right now,
- 1:42:52Speaker 4: but the Westchester.
- 1:42:53Speaker 9: What was his name, Albany, the DA, the DA of
- 1:42:57Speaker 9: Albany opposed all these get out of jail and it
- 1:43:03Speaker 9: beat him in the primary. They beat him in the primary. Oh,
- 1:43:06Speaker 9: by the way, the money that Roger and I want
- 1:43:09Speaker 9: to get your thoughts on this. The money that's moving,
- 1:43:11Speaker 9: for example, in these races in New York State, for
- 1:43:14Speaker 9: the congressional races is overwhelmingly something like seven or eighty
- 1:43:19Speaker 9: percent of the money that's funding these races is coming
- 1:43:22Speaker 9: out of state. What are your thoughts about that?
- 1:43:27Speaker 19: Jack, Jake and I talked about this last night. As
- 1:43:30Speaker 19: a matter of fact on the Stone Zone. You've got
- 1:43:34Speaker 19: foreign money, or at least illegal money, flooding into these
- 1:43:39Speaker 19: races through the Payment Processor Act. Blue. These aren't even
- 1:43:45Speaker 19: contributions from real people, or if they are, the contributions
- 1:43:49Speaker 19: didn't come from the people who are listed in the reports,
- 1:43:52Speaker 19: is having given them so. For example, Marco Rubio runs
- 1:43:58Speaker 19: for reelection to the Senate in the lost cycle in Florida.
- 1:44:03Speaker 19: He works very hard. He raises ten million.
- 1:44:05Speaker 6: Dollars for his re election, which is you know, for incompment.
- 1:44:07Speaker 19: Senator. Pretty good. But bal Deming's a black congresswoman from Orlando,
- 1:44:13Speaker 19: who no one has ever heard of. She brings in
- 1:44:15Speaker 19: twenty six million dollars, of which eighty six percent of
- 1:44:19Speaker 19: it came through Act Blue in multiple small contributions. Does
- 1:44:26Speaker 19: anyone in their right mind really believe it that's even possible.
- 1:44:30Speaker 19: And then of course when journalists like James O'Keefe and
- 1:44:33Speaker 19: others go out go knock on the doors of these putative.
- 1:44:38Speaker 6: Donors, they have no idea what you're talking about.
- 1:44:41Speaker 19: They didn't give any money.
- 1:44:44Speaker 4: To give you a feeling, I have the Biden administration
- 1:44:49Speaker 4: taking oil money up to one hundred dollars a barrow.
- 1:44:53Speaker 4: That oil money gets recycled and into those races, and
- 1:45:00Speaker 4: it's a course of doing business. In other words, if
- 1:45:02Speaker 4: they could make an extra billion dollars in oil money,
- 1:45:08Speaker 4: they'll spend one hundred million dollars in punk.
- 1:45:10Speaker 3: And launder it through at glue. Roger Stone, thank you
- 1:45:13Speaker 3: so much for Jonas, We've got to take a break.
- 1:45:15Speaker 3: Come and we'll see you again in the Stone Zone
- 1:45:17Speaker 3: and also on your weekend show.
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: Thank you, Sid and friends in the morning on the
- 1:45:23Speaker 2: Red Apple podcast network.
- 1:45:25Speaker 3: On the line with us right now is my former congressman.
- 1:45:28Speaker 3: You were briefly my Congressman. Before all the redistricting, Peter King, Congressman,
- 1:45:35Speaker 3: we've been talking a lot about the socialist takeover of
- 1:45:39Speaker 3: the Democrat Party. This is no longer the old Democrat Party.
- 1:45:42Speaker 3: And Jude Weinberg came out with that incredible stat only
- 1:45:45Speaker 3: what percent or something like that, twenty nine percent of
- 1:45:47Speaker 3: Democrats now say they love this country and that's relatively
- 1:45:51Speaker 3: new because twenty four years ago, twenty five years ago,
- 1:45:54Speaker 3: it was eighty percent. How again, listen, how many of
- 1:45:58Speaker 3: the actual voters do you you think realize that this
- 1:46:02Speaker 3: is no longer the old right and left anymore, that
- 1:46:04Speaker 3: the Democratic Party now has just moved so far to
- 1:46:07Speaker 3: the left. I mean, I don't know if the voters
- 1:46:09Speaker 3: get it. We get it, but I don't know if
- 1:46:10Speaker 3: they see it yet. When will they see it?
- 1:46:13Speaker 7: Well, first of all, Drake, thanks for the intro, and
- 1:46:16Speaker 7: I hope you voted for me when you lived in
- 1:46:17Speaker 7: my district. But that's that's that's yea early and off
- 1:46:23Speaker 7: and right. Yes, I agree totally with Judge Weinberg on this.
- 1:46:28Speaker 7: The Democratic Party. It's it was slowly building up this
- 1:46:32Speaker 7: anti American feeling and then it's just even explode all
- 1:46:35Speaker 7: of a sudden. Uh, it's dramatic. I mean, whoever thought
- 1:46:38Speaker 7: the party of Joe Leaving and Edcotts, John Kennedy, you
- 1:46:42Speaker 7: carry even down the list of Democrats from Bill Clinton
- 1:46:46Speaker 7: who would have been part of this whole movement which
- 1:46:49Speaker 7: is anti American. And also, I think Judge and I
- 1:46:53Speaker 7: have discussed this several times, anti Israel in many ways
- 1:46:56Speaker 7: is a cover for being anti American because Israel stands
- 1:47:00Speaker 7: for so many of the same values that we do.
- 1:47:02Speaker 7: Strong defense, anti communists, anti left wing, free enterprise, feederam
- 1:47:09Speaker 7: of religion, all of these principles, and also be the
- 1:47:12Speaker 7: only democracy in the Middle East. So their target, and
- 1:47:15Speaker 7: that to me is as everyone you see who is
- 1:47:19Speaker 7: out there in those anti quote unquote Zionist rallies, the
- 1:47:22Speaker 7: Prohomas rallies also anti American. So we have to keep
- 1:47:26Speaker 7: that in mind as we go forward. But I was
- 1:47:28Speaker 7: happening in a Democratic party. I don't think the average
- 1:47:30Speaker 7: Now you talk to the average say Democrat in their
- 1:47:34Speaker 7: fifties and sixties, who grew up and they come from
- 1:47:36Speaker 7: and that think family in New York. Their parents and
- 1:47:38Speaker 7: grandparents were Democrats and sometimes they voted Democrats. Sometimes they
- 1:47:42Speaker 7: voted Republican, but they thought both parties were basically it
- 1:47:46Speaker 7: is slightly central left or center right, but basically within
- 1:47:50Speaker 7: the American mainstream. I think they would be shocked, and
- 1:47:52Speaker 7: I just wish we can get that message out to them.
- 1:47:54Speaker 7: It's how far left they have gone, anti cop and
- 1:47:58Speaker 7: anti military insight, basically American values and American traditions. And listen,
- 1:48:05Speaker 7: during the worst days, you're gonna have Joe Biden, You're
- 1:48:07Speaker 7: gonna build the Blasio, You're gonna have anyone in office.
- 1:48:10Speaker 7: And I would never say I'm not proud of my country.
- 1:48:12Speaker 7: I mean, the United States stands above all, exceeds its
- 1:48:16Speaker 7: elected officials, and I was Peter to stand for. So
- 1:48:20Speaker 7: I can never ever say that I'm not one hundred
- 1:48:22Speaker 7: percent American.
- 1:48:23Speaker 21: Peter, don't agree with him too strongly now. We don't
- 1:48:27Speaker 21: want to pump him up too much. He's a Democrat, don't.
- 1:48:30Speaker 7: Forget You're right, graduate, maybe an enemy among us. That's
- 1:48:37Speaker 7: probably yeah.
- 1:48:39Speaker 4: About the party is the party.
- 1:48:42Speaker 9: I am the party now, Peter, as you and I
- 1:48:44Speaker 9: have talked about, you know, I'm I'm the last David Passon,
- 1:48:49Speaker 9: not the last of the living moderate common sense Democrats.
- 1:48:52Speaker 9: You know, the old line that Reagan had, which was
- 1:48:55Speaker 9: I didn't leave my party. My party left me. Just
- 1:48:58Speaker 9: imagine what he was responding to is compared to what's
- 1:49:01Speaker 9: really happening today.
- 1:49:02Speaker 7: Peter, Yeah, I mean that again, in the days of Reagan,
- 1:49:07Speaker 7: the Democratic Party, the extension went left. It was left
- 1:49:10Speaker 7: within the American spectrum. It was still fighting for America,
- 1:49:13Speaker 7: just had a different way of doing it sometimes, but
- 1:49:15Speaker 7: there was never an anti American feeling. Now, during Vietnam
- 1:49:19Speaker 7: you saw some of the plague burners in all left,
- 1:49:21Speaker 7: but they were fringe. They were off way overrun the left.
- 1:49:24Speaker 7: Now that fringe is taking up the Democratic Party.
- 1:49:27Speaker 21: Isn't it true that the mayor and most of the
- 1:49:32Speaker 21: Democratic Party are big Mets fans, not Yankee fans.
- 1:49:35Speaker 7: So let's not get into that.
- 1:49:39Speaker 3: Congressman King the you know, you were talking about how
- 1:49:45Speaker 3: the anti Israel stuff is really Yes, it's absolutely a
- 1:49:47Speaker 3: testing ground. They try that out first when they're really
- 1:49:49Speaker 3: anti American, and we're asking ourselves, you know, how do
- 1:49:53Speaker 3: they get away with it? And the answer, I think
- 1:49:54Speaker 3: one of the answers is they go to these old
- 1:49:57Speaker 3: school Democrats and they just portray themselves as being an
- 1:50:00Speaker 3: anti Trump party and Sadly, a lot of those old
- 1:50:03Speaker 3: school Democrats are down with that. They're fine with that,
- 1:50:05Speaker 3: and then it helps to shield everything else. So just
- 1:50:08Speaker 3: like the anti Israel stuff shields their anti Americanism, they
- 1:50:12Speaker 3: come out with an anti Trump message and suddenly a
- 1:50:15Speaker 3: bunch of Democrats who would if they heard anything else
- 1:50:17Speaker 3: on their platform, would be shocked, knee jerksal vote for them.
- 1:50:20Speaker 3: I mean, that's how mom, Donnie won I think a lot.
- 1:50:23Speaker 4: Of what about to support for Peter?
- 1:50:25Speaker 9: What about to support for this character in Maine, Platinum
- 1:50:29Speaker 9: running against the great United States senator, common sense, bipartisan senator,
- 1:50:34Speaker 9: a leader of the Senate who you know well, Susan Collins.
- 1:50:37Speaker 9: How do you support a guy like Platner who has
- 1:50:40Speaker 9: everything against him and yet all the Democrats are rolling
- 1:50:42Speaker 9: behind him.
- 1:50:44Speaker 7: You mentioned Susan Collins. My dealings with her when I
- 1:50:47Speaker 7: was chairing with the Homeland Security Committee, she and joe
- 1:50:50Speaker 7: Leabaman riding the Senate Homeland Security Committee. What a pleasure
- 1:50:53Speaker 7: was to work with them, and two of them Democrat
- 1:50:55Speaker 7: Republicans standing for homeland security. They were great, totally Toby
- 1:50:59Speaker 7: pro American. They slightly different views on different issues, but
- 1:51:02Speaker 7: overall totally pro America would accept him.
- 1:51:05Speaker 4: Yes, tell him the story about your sidekicker from the
- 1:51:11Speaker 4: Democratic Party when he used to leave the intelligence meeting
- 1:51:16Speaker 4: and the Homeland Security meeting.
- 1:51:17Speaker 9: Now the United States senator from California, you're.
- 1:51:20Speaker 7: Talking about Adam Schiff. Yeah, you know, he take it
- 1:51:23Speaker 7: into what's discussing the intelligence Great. Having said that, there's
- 1:51:27Speaker 7: one example he's been out there now he would hear
- 1:51:29Speaker 7: something and take it out of context and go up
- 1:51:32Speaker 7: and next thing you know, it's on CNN goes the
- 1:51:34Speaker 7: top secret. The example I always uses Hope Picks. It
- 1:51:37Speaker 7: was the top age to President Trump before he was president.
- 1:51:41Speaker 7: And she's there and there's like three hours of testifying
- 1:51:44Speaker 7: testimony when they were trying to show the connection with
- 1:51:47Speaker 7: the Russia, which was total fraud. And so Adam Shift
- 1:51:50Speaker 7: being very actually that was Swowell asked the question, I
- 1:51:54Speaker 7: think and Schiff was the one who leaked it. Schwarwell
- 1:51:56Speaker 7: says to Picks his President Trump ever owe you to lie? Now,
- 1:52:01Speaker 7: I give Hope it's credit. You know where they were
- 1:52:03Speaker 7: coming from. And she said, well, only if you want
- 1:52:05Speaker 7: to call it like a a white lie, like if
- 1:52:08Speaker 7: if somebody calls, he'd want to talk to you say,
- 1:52:10Speaker 7: tell him, I'll call him back later.
- 1:52:11Speaker 6: And that was it, she said.
- 1:52:12Speaker 7: But other than that, nothing ever important, nothing ever that
- 1:52:16Speaker 7: affected anybody. Next thing, you know, CNN is reporting Trump.
- 1:52:21Speaker 7: A top Trump eight admits she told a liar theer oath.
- 1:52:26Speaker 7: It was a bad story on CNN. And the thing is,
- 1:52:29Speaker 7: we're we're not out of state, and this does anything.
- 1:52:32Speaker 7: We're hear in the Intelligence Committee and here within fifteen minutes,
- 1:52:35Speaker 7: it's all over national television. So I remember that was
- 1:52:37Speaker 7: Swolbow asking the question, and Shiff was the guy that
- 1:52:40Speaker 7: was talking about it. And between the two of them
- 1:52:42Speaker 7: and others are on that committee, that was again they
- 1:52:45Speaker 7: were It's one thing if they really thought there was
- 1:52:47Speaker 7: something serious to those allegations, but that was just an
- 1:52:49Speaker 7: attempt to bring down the president of the United States.
- 1:52:52Speaker 7: And that's that was they told me about a coup.
- 1:52:55Speaker 7: That was the real first attempt at coup here in
- 1:52:57Speaker 7: the United States. It was when Democrats, prominent Democrat and
- 1:53:00Speaker 7: also people like Jim call Me and John Brennan and
- 1:53:02Speaker 7: others in that foreign policy intelligence establishment knew what they
- 1:53:06Speaker 7: were saying was totally untrue. I listened what they was,
- 1:53:11Speaker 7: Russia involved in the election. They were involved in every election.
- 1:53:13Speaker 7: It didn't matter, no impact at all that Trump people
- 1:53:16Speaker 7: were not dealing with Russia. In fact, one example I
- 1:53:18Speaker 7: always used is right after the election, the big expl
- 1:53:21Speaker 7: was in the New York Times was that Russia was
- 1:53:23Speaker 7: making phone calls into Trump Tower. Yeah, they were, because
- 1:53:26Speaker 7: they know who to deal with. The election was over.
- 1:53:28Speaker 7: They had no contact with the Trump team, so they
- 1:53:32Speaker 7: were actually calling into Trump Tower to see who who
- 1:53:35Speaker 7: do we deal with in the Russian administration and the
- 1:53:37Speaker 7: Trump administration And so that to me, that proved there
- 1:53:40Speaker 7: was no connection. Instead they try to show listen, if
- 1:53:43Speaker 7: Russia is trying to do espionage, they're not going to
- 1:53:45Speaker 7: call it trumb Tower and try and say who do
- 1:53:47Speaker 7: we talk to with the administration. I mean that just
- 1:53:50Speaker 7: showed again how miss leading at all was and a
- 1:53:53Speaker 7: national media went along with it, and it was really
- 1:53:55Speaker 7: a disgrace the way that was carried out. But also
- 1:53:58Speaker 7: getting back at George Us again, you're talking about people
- 1:54:03Speaker 7: in the Democratic Party how they've gone off, and I
- 1:54:05Speaker 7: again I think that puts more of a burden on us,
- 1:54:09Speaker 7: those of us who are been probably going conservative or
- 1:54:11Speaker 7: certainly love America. We have to be careful in how
- 1:54:14Speaker 7: we get our message out there. So we can't give them.
- 1:54:18Speaker 7: We can't give you opposition things they can use and
- 1:54:21Speaker 7: distort against us. Now they're going to do it anyway,
- 1:54:23Speaker 7: but we shouldn't give them the ammunition to use against us.
- 1:54:26Speaker 7: We have an extra burden to live up to.
- 1:54:27Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Peter King, I don't know if you're going to
- 1:54:30Speaker 3: laugh or cry, but you just talked about the Russia collusion. Oaks.
- 1:54:33Speaker 3: Here's Barack Obama yesterday talking about how he believes in
- 1:54:37Speaker 3: the peaceful transfer of power.
- 1:54:39Speaker 22: Listen to this hypocrisy, tush, A belief in the peaceful
- 1:54:44Speaker 22: transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair
- 1:54:48Speaker 22: and free elections, recognizing that in a large.
- 1:54:51Speaker 13: Complicated society like ours, no group or faction gets its
- 1:54:55Speaker 13: way one hundred percent.
- 1:54:56Speaker 9: Of the time.
- 1:54:57Speaker 3: Yeah. And then he convened people in the White House
- 1:54:59Speaker 3: after the t On victory to push up the Clinton set.
- 1:55:02Speaker 7: Up right in the Oval Office with Brennan and the others,
- 1:55:05Speaker 7: And he also was putting out these mysterious things. I
- 1:55:08Speaker 7: want all records frozen and everything. I want, you know,
- 1:55:12Speaker 7: all the evidence of collusion. And he knew there was
- 1:55:15Speaker 7: nothing there. He knew there was nothing there, and I
- 1:55:17Speaker 7: used to and again this is the frustration in the
- 1:55:19Speaker 7: way of being on the Intelligence Committee. You listen to
- 1:55:22Speaker 7: these guys. You listened to Brennan, you listened to CALLI,
- 1:55:24Speaker 7: and you realized there was nothing behind him. You couldn't
- 1:55:26Speaker 7: really go out and say that, I mean, I called
- 1:55:29Speaker 7: me would basically say, oh, when when I saw what
- 1:55:31Speaker 7: I saw, I couldn't believe it. We had to do this,
- 1:55:33Speaker 7: We had to do that. And then you more you
- 1:55:35Speaker 7: listened to him, there was nothing there. But again that's
- 1:55:37Speaker 7: not the way the media reported it. And now that that,
- 1:55:40Speaker 7: to me was a dark moment in American history, and
- 1:55:42Speaker 7: Barack Obama was behind it.
- 1:55:44Speaker 3: Well, Peter King, thanks so much for joining us Congress
- 1:55:47Speaker 3: on this on this free day. If you woke up
- 1:55:50Speaker 3: this morning and didn't know it was a federal holiday,
- 1:55:52Speaker 3: now you know, and you'll get better parting day.
- 1:55:54Speaker 7: Let me just say one thing and agreement with George
- 1:55:56Speaker 7: I have to watch this getting sucked into agree with
- 1:55:58Speaker 7: Judge Weinberg's Yeah, those Brooklyn Democrats from the Jacksocking Club.
- 1:56:07Speaker 9: Peter, you and I grew up in the same world
- 1:56:09Speaker 9: at the same time.
- 1:56:10Speaker 7: That's sure, You're right, it's true, and some people say
- 1:56:13Speaker 7: we never grew up.
- 1:56:14Speaker 4: That's true too.
- 1:56:15Speaker 9: That's a good thing.
- 1:56:16Speaker 7: Have a good weekend, guys.
- 1:56:18Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna be right back here.
- 1:56:21Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 1:56:24Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 1:56:26Speaker 16: All eyes on California, especially as we're waiting to see
- 1:56:30Speaker 16: the results in the governor's race in the LA mayor's race.
- 1:56:34Speaker 16: And our next guest, Uh has some blockbuster details about
- 1:56:38Speaker 16: how first time voters can actually register in California. It's
- 1:56:42Speaker 16: gonna blow your mind. And joining us now is the
- 1:56:44Speaker 16: US Attorney there in California, Bill Assailing. Bill. It's so
- 1:56:50Speaker 16: great to have you here on the show. Walk us
- 1:56:53Speaker 16: through because we understand what California is blocking you. You're
- 1:56:56Speaker 16: trying to do an audit, but this is mind blowing
- 1:56:59Speaker 16: how some people can register first time voters there in California.
- 1:57:04Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:57:04Speaker 11: No, The voter roles are so important because if you
- 1:57:06Speaker 11: have dirty, filthy voter roles, you're going to have dirty elections.
- 1:57:10Speaker 11: And so this is something I'm really familiar with as
- 1:57:12Speaker 11: a former legislator in California before I was appointed to
- 1:57:15Speaker 11: my current position by the President. So let's start with
- 1:57:18Speaker 11: vote registering to vote California pretty much lets anyone register
- 1:57:22Speaker 11: to vote.
- 1:57:22Speaker 4: You can do it online.
- 1:57:23Speaker 11: They sign people up at the DMV and if you
- 1:57:26Speaker 11: don't have a driver's license or a social they say,
- 1:57:28Speaker 11: no problem, just show us some form of ID. And
- 1:57:32Speaker 11: there's a list of what they consider acceptable ID. And
- 1:57:35Speaker 11: among that list is gym membership's prescription drug label. You've
- 1:57:40Speaker 11: got insurance cards and yes, they give insurance to legal
- 1:57:43Speaker 11: immigrants in California. You've got all these ridiculous things that
- 1:57:47Speaker 11: do not prove that you are an eligible United States
- 1:57:49Speaker 11: citizen who can vote in an election. So that's step one.
- 1:57:53Speaker 4: So you can't get an honest count to do in California.
- 1:57:58Speaker 11: The way it is now, you don't even know that
- 1:58:02Speaker 11: the people on the voter role are eligible to vote
- 1:58:04Speaker 11: because they just let anyone register basically, and that's not
- 1:58:07Speaker 11: an appropriate form of ID. Then you add on top
- 1:58:10Speaker 11: of that, they don't maintain the voter roles in California.
- 1:58:12Speaker 11: They do not clean up the voter roles in a
- 1:58:15Speaker 11: regular manner to get dead people off quickly, people who
- 1:58:19Speaker 11: have moved, people who are felons. These are people who
- 1:58:23Speaker 11: are not eligible to vote. They need to be removed quickly.
- 1:58:26Speaker 4: So what's going to happen with the election with the
- 1:58:29Speaker 4: I mean, would the governor's election and the main's election.
- 1:58:33Speaker 11: Well, that's a great question. We're doing our job. Our
- 1:58:36Speaker 11: job is to investigate violations of federal law, and we've
- 1:58:40Speaker 11: already brought one case just about a month ago where
- 1:58:44Speaker 11: an individual caught undercovered by James O'Keefe, was registering homeless
- 1:58:48Speaker 11: people to vote, using fake information and paying them to
- 1:58:51Speaker 11: do so. That person has pled guilty. We have other
- 1:58:54Speaker 11: investigations ongoing on election fraud. But what I'm talking to
- 1:58:59Speaker 11: you about is the system they've basically in the state
- 1:59:02Speaker 11: of California, they've decriminalized election fraud with the way they
- 1:59:07Speaker 11: register voters. And then you have to understand what else
- 1:59:10Speaker 11: goes with that ballot harvesting. So they let anyone register,
- 1:59:14Speaker 11: they don't clean their roles. Then they've legalized ballot harvesting,
- 1:59:17Speaker 11: which is illegal in most states. It is illegal in
- 1:59:20Speaker 11: most states for another person to handle someone else's ballot.
- 1:59:24Speaker 11: Not true in California. Anybody can go collect ballots from anybody,
- 1:59:28Speaker 11: So you can be walking around with one hundred ballots
- 1:59:31Speaker 11: in your trunk and nothing to see here, totally legal
- 1:59:33Speaker 11: in the state of California, if you have the ballot
- 1:59:35Speaker 11: harvesters out there collecting, no chain of custody, no record keeping,
- 1:59:40Speaker 11: we have no idea who's doing it. They just drop
- 1:59:42Speaker 11: it in the mailboxes. And then we don't have voter ID.
- 1:59:45Speaker 11: So you put all that together, it's a recipe for fraud.
- 1:59:49Speaker 11: So yes, will we be charging people with fraud?
- 1:59:52Speaker 6: Yes, we will.
- 1:59:53Speaker 11: Isn't going to be enough to change the outcome of anything?
- 1:59:57Speaker 11: Probably not. That's why we want to audit the voter rolls,
- 2:00:01Speaker 11: and that's why we sue the State of California under
- 2:00:03Speaker 11: very several statues that say we should have access to
- 2:00:06Speaker 11: do we have to get into.
- 2:00:07Speaker 4: This Supreme Court asap.
- 2:00:10Speaker 11: We're on our way. We're in the Ninth Circuit right now,
- 2:00:13Speaker 11: so it's at the Court of Appeals. As you know,
- 2:00:15Speaker 11: these things kind of have to work their way up.
- 2:00:18Speaker 11: But right now we have to work within the system
- 2:00:20Speaker 11: that Congress has laid out. So until something changes, we
- 2:00:24Speaker 11: are doing everything we can at the Department of Justice
- 2:00:26Speaker 11: to force the State of California to hand over their
- 2:00:28Speaker 11: voter roles so we can audit them and make sure
- 2:00:31Speaker 11: only US citizens are voting. But to tell you that
- 2:00:34Speaker 11: the way the statutes are written. Don't make it easy.
- 2:00:36Speaker 16: Well, Judge Weinberg, just good to talk to you.
- 2:00:39Speaker 9: Mister US attorney, I'll say I have a problem with
- 2:00:41Speaker 9: the fact that I'm solicited. They mail out millions and
- 2:00:44Speaker 9: millions and millions of absenceee ballots. How do you have
- 2:00:47Speaker 9: an integrity system if when you mail out absenceee balance
- 2:00:51Speaker 9: when they're unrequested.
- 2:00:53Speaker 11: It's a big, big problem. These are our changes they've
- 2:00:57Speaker 11: made to our election system over the last decade, and
- 2:01:00Speaker 11: all happened at once, but every year they water down
- 2:01:02Speaker 11: the integrity. And what you're saying is extremely important. So
- 2:01:05Speaker 11: if you have dirty voter rolls, and then you add
- 2:01:08Speaker 11: universal vote by mail, meaning anyone who's registered to vote
- 2:01:12Speaker 11: that are alive is going to get a ballot in
- 2:01:14Speaker 11: the mail, you now have millions of ballots floating out
- 2:01:17Speaker 11: in the universe. You have no idea who's receiving the ballot,
- 2:01:20Speaker 11: you have no idea who's completing it, you have no
- 2:01:22Speaker 11: idea who's submitting it. And so by the time the
- 2:01:25Speaker 11: ballots have arrived at the ROV, at the registrant voters,
- 2:01:28Speaker 11: you know, it's almost impossible to go back in trace
- 2:01:32Speaker 11: exactly where this ballot came from and who handled it
- 2:01:36Speaker 11: or whatnot. So we have individual cases that we pursue,
- 2:01:39Speaker 11: but it's a big problem. That's why I said this
- 2:01:41Speaker 11: is this is a fraudster's paradise.
- 2:01:44Speaker 9: Exactly why former President Carter former Secretary State Baker in
- 2:01:49Speaker 9: their commission, in their report were explicit in saying that
- 2:01:52Speaker 9: these absentee ballot formulas that are being used, for example,
- 2:01:56Speaker 9: by states like California our recipe for disaster and election fought.
- 2:02:01Speaker 11: Well, you know, the Congress gives a lot of latitude
- 2:02:04Speaker 11: to states to regulate their elections, but Congress has a
- 2:02:08Speaker 11: role too, and so until somebody rains them in California
- 2:02:13Speaker 11: is free.
- 2:02:13Speaker 14: To do what they want.
- 2:02:14Speaker 11: And then they're exactly doing that. They're taking advantage of
- 2:02:16Speaker 11: this and it works to their advantage. And who's going
- 2:02:19Speaker 11: to stop them?
- 2:02:20Speaker 16: So let me ask you, mister US attorney, how long
- 2:02:23Speaker 16: could this process take? I commend you for raising the
- 2:02:26Speaker 16: red flag about this and explain it to everybody what's
- 2:02:28Speaker 16: going on, But how long could it take through the
- 2:02:31Speaker 16: legal system?
- 2:02:33Speaker 11: You know, the legal system is not it does not
- 2:02:36Speaker 11: move quickly. We've been litigating for the better part of
- 2:02:38Speaker 11: a year, so we've made our way through the district courts,
- 2:02:41Speaker 11: and then we've appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of
- 2:02:44Speaker 11: Appeals and we argued that a few weeks ago, and
- 2:02:48Speaker 11: so we're waiting on the court to render an opinion.
- 2:02:50Speaker 6: And it takes a various amount of times for how.
- 2:02:53Speaker 11: Long they want to do that. So it's not the
- 2:02:57Speaker 11: fastest process, which is why I think there's an effort
- 2:03:00Speaker 11: to change the laws in Congress. You'll have to talk
- 2:03:03Speaker 11: to members of Congress about that. And something positive that's
- 2:03:06Speaker 11: going on in California I understand is that there might
- 2:03:09Speaker 11: be a ballot initiative on the ballot in November to
- 2:03:13Speaker 11: put in some voter id requirements. So you know, there's
- 2:03:16Speaker 11: some things in play. I don't know how quickly any
- 2:03:18Speaker 11: of that will come about.
- 2:03:20Speaker 16: Well, you got to come back on again soon. It
- 2:03:22Speaker 16: was really great to have you here. Thank you such
- 2:03:25Speaker 16: an interesting.
- 2:03:26Speaker 4: We Thank you very much for giving us the legitimate
- 2:03:29Speaker 4: answers out of California.
- 2:03:31Speaker 6: Thank you, you're welcome, Thanks for having me.
- 2:03:32Speaker 3: Take care and we're back live now. And you know, John,
- 2:03:37Speaker 3: this this absolute horrific thing that happened in California and
- 2:03:41Speaker 3: the whole country could see. It's so embarrassing, but maybe.
- 2:03:44Speaker 4: It'll be worth it goes on and on and on.
- 2:03:46Speaker 3: Yeah, but maybe it'll be worth it if this is
- 2:03:47Speaker 3: the thing that gets the ball rolling on people understanding
- 2:03:51Speaker 3: how in these blue states instead?
- 2:03:54Speaker 4: What did they used to say in the old FBI movies,
- 2:03:58Speaker 4: somebody has to go to jail.
- 2:04:00Speaker 19: M h.
- 2:04:00Speaker 4: And if nobody goes to jail, it's gonna keep going on.
- 2:04:05Speaker 3: Well, what if it's just some low level ballot harvester
- 2:04:07Speaker 3: who wanted to skid row. It's gotta be something bigger than.
- 2:04:09Speaker 4: That, right, It's gotta be somebody paid him to do it.
- 2:04:11Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, this is it's such a disgrace.
- 2:04:16Speaker 3: I mean, anybody can tell you. I let people, well,
- 2:04:19Speaker 3: there's no evidence if someone is running a distant third
- 2:04:23Speaker 3: on election night and for days afterwards, and then suddenly
- 2:04:27Speaker 3: for a.
- 2:04:27Speaker 4: Week afterwards, you're still counting votes.
- 2:04:30Speaker 3: The country can't can't want.
- 2:04:33Speaker 9: This, But the system in California set up for that.
- 2:04:35Speaker 9: They the Democratic partying and control the legislation and a
- 2:04:38Speaker 9: governor's match and deliberately set up a system that allows
- 2:04:41Speaker 9: they set up the dynamics to make it possible.
- 2:04:44Speaker 3: And pass the law that barred the FED the FEDS
- 2:04:46Speaker 3: from seeing the documentation. The now that won't hold up
- 2:04:49Speaker 3: in fact that court, but that won't hold up.
- 2:04:53Speaker 9: But in the meantime, in the meantime, they fixed the
- 2:04:55Speaker 9: election in la Yeah.
- 2:04:56Speaker 3: And uh, and it's a it's I mean, this is
- 2:04:58Speaker 3: our second largest city. It's a important financial it's not
- 2:05:01Speaker 3: just an entertainment town. That's but there's oil businesses there
- 2:05:03Speaker 3: by the way, there's other I mean, this is a huge,
- 2:05:06Speaker 3: huge city. And they stole an election, and I mean
- 2:05:11Speaker 3: the stealing of elections. You know, they call themselves a
- 2:05:14Speaker 3: democratic party. They ought to tried democracy. Abigail Spamberger. Just
- 2:05:17Speaker 3: two days ago, the radical governor, new Democrat governor of
- 2:05:20Speaker 3: Virginia signed a bill which also won't hold up to
- 2:05:23Speaker 3: Supreme Court challenge, that says that Virginia now, no matter where,
- 2:05:26Speaker 3: no matter how the voters vote in Virginia, the Electoral
- 2:05:29Speaker 3: College votes in Virginia will go to whoever won the
- 2:05:32Speaker 3: popular vote. I mean, how often do you have a
- 2:05:34Speaker 3: governor disenfranchising her own voters and smiling about it. Is incredible.
- 2:05:38Speaker 9: And she's the one who ran as a moderate. She
- 2:05:40Speaker 9: and the governor of New Jersey both won in the
- 2:05:43Speaker 9: off year election, it ran his monerates and a governor's
- 2:05:46Speaker 9: radical leftist.
- 2:05:47Speaker 3: So George Venezuelas and Judge Weinberg, we all agree that
- 2:05:51Speaker 3: the Supreme Court is going to throw that out. But
- 2:05:53Speaker 3: do we think that there's going to be some federal
- 2:05:54Speaker 3: judges that will uphold this disenfranchisement?
- 2:05:57Speaker 9: I mean, in the early Rhymes depends whom.
- 2:06:02Speaker 4: None of the federal judges have ever been impeached or removed,
- 2:06:07Speaker 4: not South. Until that happens, they go their merry way
- 2:06:11Speaker 4: and they do whatever they want. I don't know how well,
- 2:06:15Speaker 4: how else do I say it?
- 2:06:16Speaker 9: What happened to Hastings after he was removing the federal
- 2:06:19Speaker 9: favorite congressman from Florida.
- 2:06:20Speaker 3: Yeah, he ended up being a colleagues with the people
- 2:06:22Speaker 3: who voted him out.
- 2:06:23Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:06:24Speaker 21: Basically, it poisones our democracy. It poisons our system because
- 2:06:29Speaker 21: people who do people really want aren't getting elected. You know,
- 2:06:33Speaker 21: the work you're getting these radical people elected, you know,
- 2:06:37Speaker 21: and I don't think and they're doing it illegally, you know.
- 2:06:41Speaker 3: I draw a lot of parallels to what's going on
- 2:06:43Speaker 3: in America now to the Bleeding Kansas stage of American
- 2:06:46Speaker 3: history before the Civil War, people violence between different groups
- 2:06:50Speaker 3: we've seen that already, although I think almost all the
- 2:06:51Speaker 3: violence is coming from the left. But what people forget
- 2:06:54Speaker 3: about the bleeding Kansas Eras. There was also a lot
- 2:06:56Speaker 3: of ballot box stuffing back then, and it led a
- 2:06:59Speaker 3: lot of people to say, well, I wasn't in favor
- 2:07:01Speaker 3: of any of this violence before, but if my vote's
- 2:07:03Speaker 3: not going to account, I'm going to pick up a
- 2:07:04Speaker 3: pitchfork or a musket and start shooting my neighbor.
- 2:07:07Speaker 21: It's like anything in any crime. If you don't have
- 2:07:10Speaker 21: people pay for the crime, there's no deterrent. So there
- 2:07:14Speaker 21: has to be some cases made on this stuff. It's
- 2:07:17Speaker 21: important to the existence of this country. You know. A
- 2:07:22Speaker 21: basic system is our voting system.
- 2:07:24Speaker 3: And US attorneys like well Lsa, who you just heard
- 2:07:27Speaker 3: and sounds a very capable young man, by the way,
- 2:07:28Speaker 3: and by the way, he's a quintessential American California story,
- 2:07:31Speaker 3: son of Lebanese immigrants, went to cal State, Polly then
- 2:07:34Speaker 3: went to Chapman. I mean, he's all California. Memo to
- 2:07:37Speaker 3: all you young US attorneys, you want to become the
- 2:07:39Speaker 3: next Rudy Giuliani who made his bones knocking out the mob,
- 2:07:43Speaker 3: how about becoming the US attorney who gets a voter
- 2:07:47Speaker 3: confidence back. That's a heck of a way to make
- 2:07:50Speaker 3: your career.
- 2:07:50Speaker 9: You can't have a democracy unleistia have belief that his
- 2:07:53Speaker 9: voter integrity. Yeah, well, you have to have an integrity
- 2:07:56Speaker 9: for the ellectual process, otherwise people will abandon belief in
- 2:08:01Speaker 9: the country.
- 2:08:01Speaker 3: This is a huge opportunity for for a prosecutor out
- 2:08:04Speaker 3: there who wants to make his or her name. Uh
- 2:08:06Speaker 3: and I all power to you, because the country will
- 2:08:08Speaker 3: be behind you and you could and you'll get yourself
- 2:08:10Speaker 3: on this program. We'll put you on We'll put you
- 2:08:13Speaker 3: on Cats and Cosmi, We'll put your own sin and friends,
- 2:08:15Speaker 3: and you'll be You'll be a star. And this will
- 2:08:17Speaker 3: be long after Trump is out of office. This will
- 2:08:19Speaker 3: still be an issue that will be very, very enlightening.
- 2:08:23Speaker 21: I'll tell you that the country is starting to catch
- 2:08:25Speaker 21: up to some of these thorough roll countries that we
- 2:08:27Speaker 21: all accuse of fixing elections. It's if we don't, if
- 2:08:31Speaker 21: we don't be careful and start stepping up, we're gonna
- 2:08:33Speaker 21: be one of those countries.
- 2:08:35Speaker 3: Well, and those are the countries like cutter and and
- 2:08:38Speaker 3: and Iran and China who are paying for this this
- 2:08:42Speaker 3: is you know, you just said, somebody paid for those
- 2:08:45Speaker 3: people to go into skid row. We got to get
- 2:08:46Speaker 3: that person jail.
- 2:08:48Speaker 4: You think they woke up one morning he said I'm
- 2:08:50Speaker 4: gonna go collect balance. Right, I mean, somebody paid and
- 2:08:54Speaker 4: some of.
- 2:08:54Speaker 3: Us have been providing security too.
- 2:08:56Speaker 17: Right.
- 2:08:56Speaker 3: They went into some rough neighborhoods. I'm sure there was all.
- 2:08:59Speaker 3: That's probably what the real expense was paying the young
- 2:09:02Speaker 3: college kid right to harvest the ballances.
- 2:09:05Speaker 9: It's even worse in California unsolicited everybody gets mailed an
- 2:09:10Speaker 9: absentee ballot, so that's a formula for corruption. And then
- 2:09:15Speaker 9: the drop boxers that are unpoliced, and all of a
- 2:09:17Speaker 9: sudden they come with the boxes days and days after
- 2:09:20Speaker 9: the election and counted. Then you have the courts to
- 2:09:22Speaker 9: allow them to count even though they're not stamp by
- 2:09:25Speaker 9: the post office, but they wrote in the date. I mean, really,
- 2:09:28Speaker 9: and do you expect people believe in that system in California.
- 2:09:30Speaker 3: Well, I like to get your thoughts on this, because
- 2:09:32Speaker 3: what I always say about mail in ballots, corruption or
- 2:09:34Speaker 3: no corruption. Mail in ballots everyone listened. Mail in ballots
- 2:09:39Speaker 3: are not secret ballots.
- 2:09:41Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 2:09:45Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 2:09:47Speaker 3: It is a federal holiday. Most people I think are
- 2:09:49Speaker 3: still working today. It's too new a holiday. This is
- 2:09:51Speaker 3: like the first few years of MLK Day.
- 2:09:54Speaker 4: And we've got a surprise visitor coming.
- 2:09:56Speaker 3: You understand, Okay, we've got in moments. We're going to
- 2:10:00Speaker 3: be joined live in the studio by Jack Schlossberg, the
- 2:10:03Speaker 3: grandson of President John F. Kennedy, and he's running for Congress.
- 2:10:09Speaker 3: And Tuesday, Yeah, listen, Tuesday is a huge primary day,
- 2:10:13Speaker 3: not only in New York but for the whole country
- 2:10:14Speaker 3: because we've got some major Now, obviously Democrats are favored
- 2:10:18Speaker 3: in all of these congressional elections in the New York
- 2:10:20Speaker 3: City area. But it's a question will it be old
- 2:10:22Speaker 3: school Democrats like John F. Kennedy, the real John F.
- 2:10:25Speaker 3: Kennedy the president, or will the people like this.
- 2:10:29Speaker 4: To see what she said?
- 2:10:30Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean, I listen.
- 2:10:32Speaker 4: I don't know the kid from Adam other than I
- 2:10:36Speaker 4: knew his mother, Carolyn, and and let's see what he
- 2:10:41Speaker 4: has to say.
- 2:10:42Speaker 3: Well, I want to ask him if he liked his
- 2:10:43Speaker 3: father's his grandfather's nineteen sixty two tax cut which sent
- 2:10:47Speaker 3: this country's economy sorry.
- 2:10:50Speaker 4: As soon as well the one thing we always do
- 2:10:52Speaker 4: at WABC. We're always civilized.
- 2:10:54Speaker 3: Yes, first of all, we're civilized, but you know, interestingly,
- 2:10:59Speaker 3: you know, loving the history here and I'm doing these
- 2:11:01Speaker 3: Freedom to fifty the decisions that made America program here
- 2:11:04Speaker 3: for all of our networks and all of our channels.
- 2:11:07Speaker 3: And one of the major important moments in history for
- 2:11:09Speaker 3: his grandfather was when his great grandfather, Joseph P. Kennedy,
- 2:11:13Speaker 3: had a stroke in December of nineteen sixty one, and
- 2:11:16Speaker 3: he could no longer speak after that, and he was
- 2:11:18Speaker 3: no longer able to hector bother and call his son
- 2:11:22Speaker 3: the president seventeen times a day. And there's a decided
- 2:11:24Speaker 3: difference in Kennedy's policies from the day after that stroke
- 2:11:28Speaker 3: from the day before. He becomes a much more independent president.
- 2:11:32Speaker 3: He makes more decisions for him for what he thinks
- 2:11:34Speaker 3: is better for the country because his father isn't working
- 2:11:37Speaker 3: him day after day after day. It's a very interesting
- 2:11:40Speaker 3: thing that I didn't know that December nineteenth he was
- 2:11:44Speaker 3: calling and he was yelling at him, and he was
- 2:11:45Speaker 3: forcing him to do a bunch of things that he
- 2:11:47Speaker 3: didn't want to do. And there were times where he
- 2:11:49Speaker 3: made a one compromise to get him off his back
- 2:11:51Speaker 3: about other things. And to me, the greatest achievements of
- 2:11:54Speaker 3: the Kennedy presidency all come after that, after he can't
- 2:11:57Speaker 3: call him anymore. The nineteen sixty two becoming a sixty three.
- 2:12:01Speaker 4: That's a famous statement, Joseph Kennedy or there.
- 2:12:06Speaker 3: Well, you know, ask not what you can do for
- 2:12:07Speaker 3: your what your country can do for you, Ask what
- 2:12:09Speaker 3: you can do for your country. I got it, I
- 2:12:10Speaker 3: got it backwards, but I got well, I got.
- 2:12:12Speaker 4: A different one.
- 2:12:13Speaker 3: I have a different one.
- 2:12:14Speaker 4: Okay, I have let's see you hold on. I wrote
- 2:12:18Speaker 4: it down so I won't forget all right, all right,
- 2:12:24Speaker 4: all right, ask not yeah, what a lobbyist could do
- 2:12:30Speaker 4: for you, but what if you could do for your country?
- 2:12:33Speaker 3: They have lobbyists.
- 2:12:34Speaker 4: I mean, you know, it's more important for what you
- 2:12:36Speaker 4: could do for your country instead of paying attention to
- 2:12:38Speaker 4: these lobbyists.
- 2:12:40Speaker 3: Or or basically becoming a Balkanized country. Give me, gimme, gimme.
- 2:12:43Speaker 3: I mean, but that's by by the way, that's what
- 2:12:45Speaker 3: happened to Europe even before their migrant crisis. It all
- 2:12:48Speaker 3: became about what they can get from the government and people.
- 2:12:51Speaker 3: Candidates ran on handouts in and not just in small campaigns.
- 2:12:55Speaker 3: These weren't like Senator potholes. These were prime ministers of
- 2:12:58Speaker 3: Great Britain, prime minister chancellors of Germany, all running on
- 2:13:02Speaker 3: policies of what they could hand out, not listening to
- 2:13:05Speaker 3: the great lesson of John F. Kennedy, which was asked,
- 2:13:08Speaker 3: not what your country can do for you, ask what
- 2:13:09Speaker 3: you can do for your country. It doesn't mean you
- 2:13:11Speaker 3: have to become someone who works for free and as
- 2:13:13Speaker 3: volunteers all the time. But that's the discourse that we
- 2:13:16Speaker 3: should be having in this country. And I'd be interesting
- 2:13:18Speaker 3: to see what his grandson has to say about that.
- 2:13:20Speaker 3: Is it about that? Are you going to run on
- 2:13:23Speaker 3: promising handouts to people? Are you going to run on
- 2:13:25Speaker 3: people asking people to join together for the good of
- 2:13:28Speaker 3: the country. I'm sure there's a way that you know
- 2:13:30Speaker 3: that can be spun either way. But you know, his
- 2:13:33Speaker 3: father was a very very staunch patriot advocate for a
- 2:13:37Speaker 3: strong military. We have the Navy seals because of jfk
- 2:13:41Speaker 3: by the way, something his father opposed, and once his
- 2:13:42Speaker 3: father got out of the picture, he was able to
- 2:13:44Speaker 3: push that. And of course he supported a major tax cut,
- 2:13:48Speaker 3: which is one of my favorite policies. So we can
- 2:13:51Speaker 3: talk about that a little bit.
- 2:13:52Speaker 4: I wonder if the doorman let him up.
- 2:13:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, Well I hope so, I hope. So
- 2:13:57Speaker 3: there's less traffic today. He can't blame the traffic. I'm looking.
- 2:13:59Speaker 3: I'm we're looking at Third Avenue right now and also
- 2:14:03Speaker 3: some of the other streets, and it looks I mean,
- 2:14:05Speaker 3: on a work on a weekday. To see this kind
- 2:14:07Speaker 3: of traffic is I feel like I've died and gone
- 2:14:10Speaker 3: to heaven. We've talked about a lot of things today
- 2:14:12Speaker 3: here filling in for sit on Sit and friends. It
- 2:14:15Speaker 3: is June teenth, and whether we make jokes about it
- 2:14:19Speaker 3: or not, and we didn't. We really got to the
- 2:14:21Speaker 3: bottom of the reasons for it with Governor David Patterson.
- 2:14:24Speaker 3: But it is nice that there is something to mark
- 2:14:29Speaker 3: the end of a horrible stay in American history. I mean,
- 2:14:32Speaker 3: this is a bipartisan thing. You don't have to say.
- 2:14:34Speaker 3: Slavery was not good for this country's soul, but it
- 2:14:37Speaker 3: also wasn't good for its economy. It kept half the
- 2:14:40Speaker 3: country in an agrarian economy, which is hard to grow.
- 2:14:42Speaker 3: You can't get new wealth very easily in an agrarian economy,
- 2:14:45Speaker 3: which is what slavery help perpetuate. So let's celebrate that.
- 2:14:49Speaker 3: Whether you're black or white, that's something that we can
- 2:14:51Speaker 3: all celebrate. That's for sure. And I think we're wait,
- 2:14:55Speaker 3: here we go, and here he is. Here's the man,
- 2:14:58Speaker 3: all right. Jack sh Osburg is coming into our studio
- 2:15:02Speaker 3: right now. The first question I have for him is
- 2:15:03Speaker 3: where did you go to high school?
- 2:15:05Speaker 4: Collegiate?
- 2:15:05Speaker 6: School?
- 2:15:06Speaker 8: Collegiate?
- 2:15:06Speaker 3: The best one collegiate?
- 2:15:08Speaker 23: Oh, nice, fantastic.
- 2:15:10Speaker 3: I was going to guess Trinity Music Colligi.
- 2:15:12Speaker 6: Okay.
- 2:15:13Speaker 4: And I remember where you lived because you used to
- 2:15:15Speaker 4: shop at Christiti's.
- 2:15:16Speaker 23: I still do. I live above a Cristities. Yeah, that's
- 2:15:19Speaker 23: best store in the city.
- 2:15:21Speaker 4: My god. And your opponent at the debate last week
- 2:15:24Speaker 4: said he shopped at amp. It hasn't been an AMP
- 2:15:26Speaker 4: in in two three years, nine years. I mean, what
- 2:15:30Speaker 4: kind of opponent do you have?
- 2:15:31Speaker 23: I know, he literally said. Alex Boras said he shops
- 2:15:34Speaker 23: at A, A and P. On ninety six. There isn't one.
- 2:15:37Speaker 4: It hasn't been there. It hasn't been one there in
- 2:15:40Speaker 4: twenty years or ten years.
- 2:15:41Speaker 3: So he should check the expiration date on his milk
- 2:15:43Speaker 3: if he did. Yeah, Uh, Jack, you're you're in a
- 2:15:47Speaker 3: big primary on Tuesday. Uh, tell us a little bit
- 2:15:50Speaker 3: about I mean, is it just in your genes that
- 2:15:52Speaker 3: you have to go into.
- 2:15:53Speaker 4: The introduced them from Somebody doesn't know.
- 2:15:56Speaker 3: This is Jack Shlasburg. He is running for Congress, And
- 2:16:00Speaker 3: tell us which district it is and what part geographically
- 2:16:02Speaker 3: of the city.
- 2:16:04Speaker 24: District twelve, New York twelve, which runs from ninety sixth
- 2:16:06Speaker 24: Street to fourteenth Street, all avenues east and west of Manhattan.
- 2:16:10Speaker 3: Wow. Okay, so that's a big, big that's a lot
- 2:16:12Speaker 3: of different that's like six different worlds. For those of
- 2:16:14Speaker 3: you are listening not from New York City and not
- 2:16:16Speaker 3: from Manhattan. That might sound oh, it's eighty two blocks
- 2:16:19Speaker 3: of the same city, but I mean that's like thirty
- 2:16:21Speaker 3: five different nationalities. Oh my God presented and every.
- 2:16:24Speaker 24: Kind of person and the best kind of people in
- 2:16:26Speaker 24: the whole world. You know this district is it is
- 2:16:29Speaker 24: home to the United Nations, to the Empire, State Building,
- 2:16:32Speaker 24: Central Park. The whole world starts counting time every year
- 2:16:35Speaker 24: from New York twelve in times square. And so we
- 2:16:37Speaker 24: really need leadership that can punch above its weight and
- 2:16:40Speaker 24: get things done in Congress. Because Democratic Party is needs
- 2:16:44Speaker 24: a lot of help.
- 2:16:47Speaker 4: Tell us about have you studied about all your all
- 2:16:50Speaker 4: the things that your grandfather was stood for and everything.
- 2:16:55Speaker 23: Yeah, I have, And it all started.
- 2:16:58Speaker 24: My studies of him started when a teacher in high
- 2:17:01Speaker 24: school asked me a question on JFK's diplomatic policy in Laos,
- 2:17:04Speaker 24: and I didn't know the answer, and I went home
- 2:17:06Speaker 24: and started reading, you know, a bunch of books about
- 2:17:09Speaker 24: him and watching his speeches. But I've studied him very
- 2:17:11Speaker 24: closely and worked closely on the Kennedy Library, and you know,
- 2:17:14Speaker 24: his legacy is something that he's remembered as an icon now,
- 2:17:17Speaker 24: but people forget he sent a man to the moon,
- 2:17:19Speaker 24: drafted the Civil Rights Act, stared down Krushev, and did
- 2:17:23Speaker 24: not blink. He was a war hero and the youngest
- 2:17:25Speaker 24: person ever elected president, and the first Catholic.
- 2:17:28Speaker 3: Well Jack Jack shalosperg joining us right now. Of course,
- 2:17:32Speaker 3: his most famous quote is ask not what your country
- 2:17:35Speaker 3: can do for you, ask what you can do for
- 2:17:36Speaker 3: your country. And I'm sympathetic as I asked this question
- 2:17:40Speaker 3: to you, because especially when you run for Congress, it's
- 2:17:43Speaker 3: kind of hard to follow that paradigm, right, I mean,
- 2:17:46Speaker 3: you today's politicians even for much higher office. It seems
- 2:17:50Speaker 3: like it's it's hand out city, and how do you
- 2:17:53Speaker 3: how do you run for an office at a local level,
- 2:17:56Speaker 3: even though this for Congress, and not ignore what your
- 2:18:00Speaker 3: grandfather said, I mean, how can you do it? Because
- 2:18:01Speaker 3: it's all about what when am I going to get this?
- 2:18:04Speaker 3: When am I going to get my free that it's
- 2:18:06Speaker 3: it's this is something that I think plagues anyone running
- 2:18:08Speaker 3: for office totally.
- 2:18:10Speaker 24: You know, people forget JFK was the ultimate outsider when
- 2:18:13Speaker 24: he started and when he ran for president. And people
- 2:18:16Speaker 24: might laugh hearing this coming from me because I'm, you know,
- 2:18:19Speaker 24: his grandson. But I'm the outsider in this race too.
- 2:18:22Speaker 24: And the institutions here in New York twelve, in New
- 2:18:25Speaker 24: York City, they they don't want to change. They have
- 2:18:28Speaker 24: no new answers. They just tell people what they want
- 2:18:30Speaker 24: to hear. I'm running against someone Michae Lasher, who's whose
- 2:18:33Speaker 24: final closing argument to everybody was everybody, I've got a
- 2:18:37Speaker 24: plan so that everyone is guaranteed a job and a house.
- 2:18:40Speaker 23: No one asked any follow up questions.
- 2:18:42Speaker 24: I think we got to start running our government more efficiently,
- 2:18:45Speaker 24: more effectively, and come together because there's no reason we
- 2:18:48Speaker 24: need to be so divided. You know, it didn't always
- 2:18:51Speaker 24: It wasn't always this way. A huge reason money in politics.
- 2:18:54Speaker 24: This is something that I've been known for. In the campaign,
- 2:18:56Speaker 24: they call me no pac Jack, I don't have a
- 2:18:57Speaker 24: super pac. And this race has been flooded with thirty
- 2:19:00Speaker 24: million dollars of outside spending, which as a New Yorker
- 2:19:03Speaker 24: offends me, and as an American and a Democrat, I
- 2:19:06Speaker 24: think we really we can do better than this.
- 2:19:10Speaker 4: Thirty million dollars just for one congressional.
- 2:19:12Speaker 24: Rnon you believe that. I guess a lot of people
- 2:19:14Speaker 24: want to buy real estate. I mean candidates are running
- 2:19:17Speaker 24: in this district only about one hundred and fifty thousand.
- 2:19:20Speaker 24: There's it's a split field. There's I would say four
- 2:19:24Speaker 24: three or four main contenders, myself, Alex Boas, Michael Lasher,
- 2:19:28Speaker 24: and George Conway.
- 2:19:30Speaker 4: Well, I'm not a registered Democrat, but if I was
- 2:19:32Speaker 4: a registered Democratic, probably vote for you. No, thanks, John,
- 2:19:35Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
- 2:19:36Speaker 3: Jack Shulasberg. You know, getting back to your grandfather here
- 2:19:41Speaker 3: a little bit, and I don't want to make it
- 2:19:42Speaker 3: all about that, but that's a segue to talk about
- 2:19:44Speaker 3: something that's happening today, So I do want to talk
- 2:19:46Speaker 3: about today. We've been talking for these last four hours
- 2:19:49Speaker 3: about a radical socialist takeover of the Democratic Party, and
- 2:19:53Speaker 3: if they were just being socialists all the time and
- 2:19:55Speaker 3: focusing on the economic aspect of it, to me, that
- 2:19:57Speaker 3: would be more understandable. But it seems like they call
- 2:20:01Speaker 3: themselves socialists, but they're really all they ever, All I
- 2:20:03Speaker 3: ever hear from them is anti Israel rhetoric, anti Semitic rhetoric.
- 2:20:08Speaker 3: Since when did those two things become so easily conflated?
- 2:20:13Speaker 3: This is outrageous to me. We have someone in another
- 2:20:16Speaker 3: the the in the thirteenth district election, dar Lisa Chevalier,
- 2:20:20Speaker 3: who was at the pro Comas rally cheering the October
- 2:20:23Speaker 3: seventh attacks on October eighth in twenty twenty three. That's
- 2:20:27Speaker 3: another thing. You know, you say you're fighting against the
- 2:20:29Speaker 3: moneyed interest, but this is another major problem. I mean,
- 2:20:33Speaker 3: this is something that would have horrified your grandfather. This
- 2:20:35Speaker 3: is a cancer that needs to be cut out of
- 2:20:36Speaker 3: the Democratic Party.
- 2:20:38Speaker 23: I couldn't agree more.
- 2:20:39Speaker 24: And I'm very worried, you know, about the upcoming fracturing
- 2:20:44Speaker 24: of the Democratic Party being dragged into what I you know,
- 2:20:48Speaker 24: the mud by what I consider to be. You know,
- 2:20:50Speaker 24: there there are a lot of people who hear certain
- 2:20:53Speaker 24: things from these candidates, socialist candidates that they agree with,
- 2:20:56Speaker 24: that we probably all agree with, that sound really, that
- 2:20:58Speaker 24: sound great, And then they're are the other talking points
- 2:21:02Speaker 24: that they lean into to pander to an audience that
- 2:21:05Speaker 24: You're right, is defined by their stance against Israel, not
- 2:21:09Speaker 24: what they're for, but against the state of Israel's existence
- 2:21:14Speaker 24: in general. And I'm someone, you know, I'm writing the
- 2:21:17Speaker 24: sweet spot on the US Israel question in this race.
- 2:21:19Speaker 24: I've made everybody mad at me. I'm very proud of that.
- 2:21:23Speaker 24: I think we need to talk with Nuance about this
- 2:21:24Speaker 24: stuff and not lean into tropes and the Democratic Party.
- 2:21:27Speaker 24: You know, a lot of this stuff seems like it's organic, crowdsourced,
- 2:21:31Speaker 24: and I've seen in this campaign myself that a lot
- 2:21:34Speaker 24: of this stuff is driven by rhetoric online, and a
- 2:21:36Speaker 24: lot of that rhetoric online is actually paid for in
- 2:21:40Speaker 24: terms of paid for social media content creation and bots.
- 2:21:44Speaker 24: If you look at any posts that I've made in
- 2:21:45Speaker 24: the last two months, most of it is filled with
- 2:21:49Speaker 24: anti Israel and a lot of anti Semitic comments from
- 2:21:53Speaker 24: what are clearly fake accounts. Paid for by one of
- 2:21:56Speaker 24: the opponents. So look, I think this is a serious question.
- 2:22:00Speaker 24: I don't want to see the issue of the US
- 2:22:03Speaker 24: Israel's relationship to the right either. And because we should
- 2:22:07Speaker 24: be able to come together on this used to be bipartisan.
- 2:22:10Speaker 24: Doesn't mean we can't criticize Israel's government. But we've got
- 2:22:12Speaker 24: to get serious here because there's a lot of challenges
- 2:22:14Speaker 24: facing our world, and we live in an increasingly hostile
- 2:22:18Speaker 24: world with more and more conflict happening every day. We
- 2:22:21Speaker 24: got to have a real strategy here, and the Democratic
- 2:22:23Speaker 24: Party should not lose its credibility by embracing hate.
- 2:22:26Speaker 3: Well, I have an easier way out for you. Simply
- 2:22:29Speaker 3: say that this is a conflict that doesn't really hit
- 2:22:32Speaker 3: your daily life here on ninety second down to fourteenth
