• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on 710WOR.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, President Trump, a brutal travel schedule. He's at
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: the White House yesterday, middle of the afternoon, he leaves,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: jumps on Air Force One, flies to Alaska, that is
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: one long flight, does a huge rally in Alaska last night.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: From Alaska... Gets back on Air Force One. They fly
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: to Las Vegas. He spends the night there from Las Vegas.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: He's heading to Arizona today. And a lot of travel.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: A lot of travel. He brought a lot of people
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: on the plane with him. A lot of Cabinet. Lutnick
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: and others. And Katie Zachariah, the press conference. And... Excuse
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: me a second. Oh, oh. TV today. The Kudlow Show
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: today at 4 o'clock. Let me just tell them yes.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: So make sure you watch that show every day. Very
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: important show. You'll learn more watching that. Larry Kudlow, every day,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: 4 o'clock. It looks like I won't be on today.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: But anyway, he was pretty good in Alaska and talking about,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: you know, pipelines are a big deal up there.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of times you have a deal done,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: all you need is a permit.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: The permits take you 25 years.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I just told Dan backstage, every single permit that you need,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you can start tonight.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, you know, a lot of states, California is
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a great example. It's like $ 6. 50 a gallon. It's like $ 2,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: $ 3 more a gallon always in California. One reason is
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: they don't have any pipelines. We have tons and tons
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and tons of oil. We produce more oil than anybody
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: in the world. Can't get it there. There's no pipelines. Why?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Because California, all the green, climate change, whatever, they block pipelines.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that has to do with the climate.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But they blocked any development of pipelines. They won't allow
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: any refineries. So instead of just simply getting oil through
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the pipelines all day long, they have to import it
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: from other countries by ship. That's why it's so much.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Besides the fact that it's California, it's a blue state,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and they tax every gallon of gas like crazy. And
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: they put all kinds of fees on it. But those
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: pipelines are important. And one of the things the Biden
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: administration did was stop it all. or require ridiculous permits
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: to get it all done. But President, a big hit
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: in Alaska. Now, the new press secretary, I'm blanking out
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: her name, Katie Zakaria, Katie Zakaria is on the trip.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: She was okay. She wasn't great in the first press conference, shaky, nervous,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: but she can get over that. It's happened to other
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: press secretaries the first time. This trip will be like
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: graduate school because she's on the plane for many, many,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: many hours with all of these people and the cabinet members.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: One of the problems when you do your first press conference,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: besides the fact you're nervous, it's the White House, you
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: don't know what you're supposed to know because the mistake
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: was you got to bring her in, have her spend
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a week at the White House. You got to meet
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: with all the cabinet people, all the principals. You got
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to talk to them for hours. Make sure you know
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: every detail of everything going on, and then you're ready
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to go. You can't just jump in cold, but she did.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: It wasn't as bad as everybody makes it out to be.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: It was fine. Nervous, shaky, yes, but it was fine.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: If you see the next one and she's 40% better,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: then you know she'll be just fine. Hey, here's the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: way it stands right now. It looks very good for
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Republicans winning the Senate. It looks very good. The House,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: it's too close to call. This could go either way
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: right now. What if Democrats win the House? They can
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: start impeaching the president. Will they do it? Of course
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: they'll do it. The last time they impeached him twice.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: This time that means six, seven times. What will they
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: impeach him over? They'll impeach him over, I don't know, Iran.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: They'll impeach him over profiteering. They'll impeach him over, I
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: don't know, they'll find a million things. They'll just watch MSNBC.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: They'll give you a million things to impeach him over.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Will it go anywhere? No. Will it bother him? No,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: not really. He loves this stuff. He loves being in
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: a battle. He has said, my whole life is a
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: series of battles. He loves to fight. So he'll enjoy
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the impeachment. If the Republicans hold the Senate, the impeachment
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: will go no place, but they'll try it in the House.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: They'll hold hearings every second. They'll hold hearings looking into everything,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: every cabinet member, the family, the kids. They'll subpoena them.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: They'll What the president may have to do if, for
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: some reason, they lose the House, between the election and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: January when the new House takes over, if the Democrats win,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: he would have to probably pardon everybody. Massive pardons. It
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: sounds crazy, but the Biden administration set the precedent to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: do it. So that's what they would have to do. Now,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Kimberly Guilfoyle will want one of those pardons. They will
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: definitely go after her, call her in. Why? Because she
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: was engaged to Donald Trump Jr. She lived with him.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: They'll think that she must know everything about the inner
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: workings of the Trump family. So she'll definitely be a target.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: What is Kimberly Guilfoyle doing now? She's just resigned as
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the ambassador to Greece. It's happened before. Ambassadors have had
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: to leave before. This is leaving under a bad cloud.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: But what will she do? You never know. She could
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: go back to media. She worked at Fox before. I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: don't think they'll take her back, but she could get
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a job at Newsmax, something like that. You never know.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: You never know. The debate last night, pretty strong performance.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Bruce Bligman was great in last night's debate. Hochul tried
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: tearing him apart.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Kathy Hochul has spent $ 8 billion of your money on
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: illegal migrants for free food, free housing, free transportation, and
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: a free cell phone. That's your money that she spent
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: on people who aren't New Yorkers.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: He says that he's gonna bring Trump style leadership to Albany.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: He says he's gonna cut Medicaid in half. You heard
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: him say that. And he's going to let ice run rampant.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: In our streets. He's never said anything like that. He's
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: never once said, I'll bring Trump style. He's never, ever,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: ever said that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: On the Pennsylvania side of the border, people are driving.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Now, the big thing is energy costs. There are energy bills.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: You know, there used to be 100. Now they're 400.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: That's because of Hochul, Cuomo, shutting down Indian Point, nuclear stuff.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: They will not allow fracking. We're sitting on a ton
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: of natural gas. We could frack and your energy bill
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: would drop like 300% immediately. Now, they do it in Pennsylvania,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and the difference between Pennsylvania and us.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: On the Pennsylvania side of the border, people are driving
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: around in brand new Cadillac Escalades. And on the New
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: York side of the border, they're driving around in 25-year-old
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: rusted-out pickup trucks because of your policies.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: You called my moratorium crazy.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump says it's only for dumb, poor people would
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: support that. Are you support what Donald Trump said there
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: as well?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: That's the problem. She kept resorting to all this old
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden kind of, you know, you're a racist, you're this,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: you're that, you hate poor people, all this stuff. It's
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: just cheap, cheap, crappy little political stuff. It wasn't a
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: good look for Hochul. The governor's race right now is
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: neck and neck. In the real polls, the real polls,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: not the public ones, the real ones, it's pretty much tied.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: They're both within the margin of error. But even in
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the fake polls, the public polls, Here's one that came
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: out yesterday, has Hochul only 47%, Blakeman 44%. And that's
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: within the margin of error. The poll said, this is
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: one of these fake polls, but it said about 6%
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: of voters were undecided. So it's within the margin of error.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: It's pretty much deadlocked right now. We'll see what effect
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the debate has. It can take a couple of days
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: before you realize what effect the date had on everything. Uh,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Netflix just laid off a thousand people. That's 6% of
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: their workforce. Netflix. Uh, well, you gotta remember when Netflix
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: first came along, it was a crazy idea. Uh, some
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: people like, and then all of a sudden it took off.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden it was a stock that went
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: from 40 to 400. It was the biggest, hottest problem
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: for Netflix is a lot of other streaming services came along.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: So it was all Netflix and now it's a 17
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: different streaming services. So they are cutting back a little.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: 1,000 workers, 6% of the workforce laid off. Kids today,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't believe it. Before this stuff, before streaming, you
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: would not believe it. If you wanted to see a movie,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: you had to get in your car and drive to Blockbuster.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And you had to walk up and down the aisles
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: looking for movies. And then, when you saw the movie
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: you wanted, it's in a box of it's like a
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: vhs tape don't ask i can't explain what that is
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: it was it was called a vhs tape you had
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to bring that up to the counter where some pimple-faced
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: kid would uh would ring it up you'd rent it
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you're not buying it you're renting it you'd take it
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: home you'd watch it i know if you're 20 years
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: old listening to me you think this is insane you'd
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: watch it then the next day You had to get
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: in your car, drive back to the Blockbuster and give
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: it back to them. And if you forgot to rewind it,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: you got charged extra. I know you're saying, what is rewind?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: What does that mean? It's too hard to explain. Don't
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: worry about it. So, and that was a hell of
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a business. Blockbuster, woo, was that a business. Look at
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: it now. There's no such thing anymore. Nobody knows what
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about. So, and the other problem was the cable.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: bill got too high. Your cable bill used to be
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: $ 80 a month, then it became $ 150. Next thing you know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: it's $ 250. So that's why people switch to streaming. But
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: the next thing you know, there's 17 streaming services. Now
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: your streaming cost is like $ 400 a month. You can't
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: win no matter what you do here. So, hey, Leslie
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Stahl apparently was threatening to quit 60 Minutes. Leslie Stahl
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: doing a piece on the West Bank, on Israel, and
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: of course it's Leslie Stahl, 60 Minutes. They want to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: make Israel look like butchers. They want to make Israel
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: look terrible. So apparently Barry Weiss stepped in and said,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: she's the new CBS Newsboy. She wanted to be hands-on
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: and take a look at the piece before it aired.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And she wanted some changes. She wanted it toned down.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: She didn't want a hit piece on Israel. And apparently
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: it got ugly and Leslie Stahl threatened to quit. And
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: next thing you know, They backed off a little. They compromised.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: It was still a pretty bad piece. But insiders say
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: there's no way Leslie Stahl would quit. First of all,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: she's like 98 years old. How old is she? She's
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: going to be like 90. Where is she going to go?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: She's not going to quit. And then a few people
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: on the inside said she's not going anywhere. She's addicted
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: to being on 60 Minutes. Well, that's true with a
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: lot of these anchors. They're just addicted to it. They
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: can't leave the spotlight. They've got to have it. So
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: important to them. And a couple other insiders said she
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: knows if she leaves, where the hell she's going to go.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Nobody's going to hire her. She'll end up doing lectures
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: at universities like Scott Pelley and Sharon Alfonsi. Remember her?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Anybody remember her? Look at Scott Pelley. Look at anybody
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: that left. Where the hell are they? Look at these people.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Don Lemon, he's doing a show from home in his pajamas.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Chuck Todd, same thing. Does a fake podcast from home. Hey,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: there's a big controversy. Open AI, you know, there's like
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: four companies control AI. Open AI is huge. Trillion dollar company.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: So one of their engineers, a Saudi open AI engineer,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: bugged the conference room where all the top executives meet.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: This guy's 35 years old. I could tell you his name,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: but it took me like a year to pronounce this.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell this name is. It's
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: like an eye chart. He's from Saudi Arabia. He's now
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: in federal custody. It's a very serious crime because in
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: this conference room, the top AI guys were discussing serious
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: AI secrets. So the guy somehow... First of all, you've
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: got to blame these AI companies. If you're discussing that
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff, you better have real security around your boardroom.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Apparently it wasn't locked, the conference room. This guy got
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: in there, hid a microphone... an audio recording device wrapped
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: in toilet paper. He put it behind the TV in
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the conference room and was able to hear everything. The
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: guy has been arrested. Apparently he was online researching how
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: to come up with secret recording devices. He was also
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: online looking for open AIs, building addresses, meeting rooms, information
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: about the leadership. So, I mean, they got this guy,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: he'll end up in jail. But we don't know what
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: he did with the information that he got out of there. Yeah,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: he was looking for all kinds of... That's the problem
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: with the internet. It's there forever. There'll always be a
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: record of what you were researching, what you were looking for.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: So expect this guy to go to jail for quite
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: a while. We'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: And we always love to have some new callers. 800- 321-0710.
