  Speaker 1: Hous to New York Mark Simone seven ten wor.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well, Hey, the president will address the country. Actually he'll
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: take questions with the reporters. He'll do that later today.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: That's coming up. It's already, I mean from the beginning
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of the strike on I ran from the beginning. He
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: was speaking to reporters all along and answering questions from them.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: They were all a little surprised. Actually he would answer,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: as they'd had all his cell number. He would answer
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: his phone and give them five minutes each, so, which
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: is more than usually get in a press conference. So
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: he is talking and will continue to talk all day
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: about what's going on. The president also now saying it
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: looks like originally knew that we got forty of Iraq's leaders,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: we got the Ayatola and another forty leaders. Now that
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: number is forty nine leaders of the country, the government,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the military. Forty nine are now dead. The Ayatola had
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: named Ali Lara Janni as his successor. I don't know
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: if he's on the list, but that's who he had
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: just in case anything happened. Him's who he had always
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: designated to be his successor. Ali Lara Johanni, who's considered
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: a brutal, awful as bad as the Ayatola. But we'll see,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: we'll probably announce that later today if they got him too.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: So it's been a tough time for Democrats. They don't
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: know how to handle this. They don't know what to attack.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: As we were talking about earlier, the New York Times
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the Washington Post horrified everybody with their peaceful, gentle obituary
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: for the Ayatola, describing him as a a cleric, a
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: man who wrote poetry. He was the most brutal, evil
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: barbarian on earth. That's how they described him. So if
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Hitler were killed today, the Post, the New York Times,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Washington Post, New York Times would do the same thing.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They would describe Hitler as a painter who was also
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a best selling author. So it's absolutely disgusting the behavior
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: of the New York Times and the Washington Post. And
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: then you've got this television coverage. It's absolutely ridiculous. If
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you watch the Morning Joe kind of shows, all he
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: keeps saying is there's no plan. If only he had
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: a plan. He doesn't have a plan. Why doesn't he
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: have a plan? Well, I guarantee you they got plenty
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: of plans. They've got a plan, a very specific plan.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: You know how they always like to when they talk
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: about Trump, they always like to say he said without
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: evidence that, well, they're all talking without evidence. Now. The reason,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I think one of the reasons Trump is so successful
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: when it comes to military operations in the past, the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: way it's always done traditionally, when a president wants to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: take military action, there comes a time, a moment where
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the generals come in and you know, they present you
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: with three options. It's always three for some reason. They
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: give you three what they call cohah's stands for course
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: of action, three courses of Actually, they lay it out
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: for you, here's the three and you pick from one
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: of the three options they give you. That's always the game,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it's always the way it's done. But President Trump is
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the first president not to do that. You don't come
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: in with your three options, but he's going to pick
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: them apart, customize them, and when you lay at your options,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: he's gonna say, well, what about this, what about that?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Why can't you do this? Why can't you He doesn't
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: stick to their three options, and that's it. That's that's
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: all you get to choose from we'll see what happened.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: We're going to learn a lot more. Today we've taken
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: out half their navy. A couple more days, we'll have
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: eliminated the entire navy. We've taken out most of their
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: probably about fifty percent of their missiles. We'll get the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: rest Republican Guard headquarters, all that stuff has been taken out.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: We're destroying all their military capabilities. President has said two weeks,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: maybe four weeks. Israel, US, other countries, the Saudi's, others
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: all taken out every piece of military, everything they have.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: They will no longer be a threat to anybody. And
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: we'll see who emerges from the rubble to take charge. Hey,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: let's talk about Let's talk about our old buddy, Neil Sidaka.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: He was a wonderful guy. He was, you know, I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: don't know if you tell you how talented the guy was.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Started very young, first writing songs in the Brill Building
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that was over at forty ninth in Broadway, the famous
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Brill Building, and all the great songwriters were there, Burt
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Backrack and Hal David and Carol King and Neil Sidak
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and all these people you know, all the other names.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: You know, all their writing in the Brill Building, although
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: they all told me nobody ever actually wrote in the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Brill Building. Oh, when you first started, when you were,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: you know, an eighteen year old, nineteen year old Neil Sadaka,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: he went and worked in your little cubicle in the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Brill Building. But as soon as you had a hit
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: or to and made a lot of money, you didn't
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: go to the Brill Building anymore. You wrote the songs
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: in your beautiful, plush apartment. Neil Sidaka did that. Burt Backrack,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Al David fifty seventh and Second Avenue, the Excelsior, beautiful
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: apartment building, stunning at the time. That's where they wrote
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: all those songs. But Sadaka was a great songwriter, and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: he finally had a hit record. But I mean, just
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: listen to some of his early sixties and all those
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: early sixties hits, and it was huge. But then he
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: kind of disappeared, like the Four Seasons, Frankie Valley, like
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of those people just kind of disappeared in
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the late sixties as everything changed, you know, it was
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: more rock and roll, like, you know, all that hippie
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: music and all that. So the beautiful early sixties stuff
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: went away. But he made an incredible comeback in seventy
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: five thanks to Elton John. It was Elton John that'd
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: helped give him a record deal. Elton John was a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: big fan, and he wrote Love Will Keep Us Together,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Captain until huge hit. But then Sadaka had Laughter in
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the Rain, big big hit, and then brilliantly decided to
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: do it again a second hit with breaking Up his
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: hard to do, but he did it as a ballad,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and then Bad Blood. All these seventies hits made him
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: huge all over again. Yeah, and he was a great
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: guy in real life. I spent a lot of time
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: with him through the He's a wonderful guy. Lived fifty
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: eighth in Park and he'd go to all the finest
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: gallows and everything in the tux sedo, but he'd also staytime.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: He'd be in a diner, a coffee shop. He was
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: a fun guy. Wherever he was somebody's house, a restaurant.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: You'd always go to the piano, start playing and singing.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And when he'd sing Laughter in the Rain, and what
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: sounded exactly like the record, It was unbelievable, how it
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: was uncanny the way he could recreate the record. And
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: he was on my show all the time. For weeks
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and weeks and I mean months years. He was on
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: like thousands of appearances. Here's just one I found. We're
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: talking about the early sixties. You know there was someone
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: one hit Wonders, and I asked them about that.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Tell me about let's go back to the early sixties.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: In those days, and you had what they used to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: call these one hit wonders. You know, they have one
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: huge hit like little Eva, look, look, emotion, and then
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: how come people like that just don't have another hit
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: after that?
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: That was my fear that I was going to be
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: a one shot wonder. I remember telling Johnny kershe if
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I could be as big as Jimmy Bowen and Buddy Knox.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: But everybody had that fea. What happens is you don't
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: have the material, you don't have the stamina, you don't
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: can't can't keep up at the time. You do the
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: same thing over and over, and you don't show any
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: freshness or creativity.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, if you're that big, Let's say
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you're the Toys and you sing a Lover's Concerto, you
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: got a big number one record, you'd think you could
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: find another song somewhere you think so.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: But the record business was very sickle. It was very changeable.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: It depends on the promotion or radio plays. You know,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: if a guy walked into the studio and schmied a little.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: In those days.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So even though you were a huge start and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you had these hit records, you actually had a fear
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that maybe it would end at some point.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I was afraid at the beginning. But you know, I
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: wasn't a rock and roller who could play four chords
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: on the piano. I had a great background in the
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: theory and harmony, and yes I was a concert pianist.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: And it was also I sang in five languages. In
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: those days, I used to sing, and I was the
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: first rock and roller to go to many foreign countries
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: and sing in their language.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't know that.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Now I've also seen you were Sometimes you just literally
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: in somebody's living room and you'd sit at the piano
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and play and sing laughter in the rain, and you'd
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: sound exactly like the record. Now a lot of artists
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: can't do that. Didn't never sound anything like their record
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: when they're in concert.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I've been very lucky, I do, if I may
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: say so, have a remarkable voice. No, absolutely, it never
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: has changed. I take good care of myself. I get
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: enough sleep, I get enough exercise, and I don't abuse
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: my voice. I'm going through next year as my fiftieth
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: anniversary and I still have the same voice. I can
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: get into a taxi in New York and the driver
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: won't even turn around. He'll say you, Neil Sadaka, I
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: can tell by your voice.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Well, you know you're right. That's a those things.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: One of the few singers that when you talk, you
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: sound like when you're singing.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Tony Beel, you know what's funny.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: The biggest hit he ever had in his career, the single,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: biggest hit people in America never heard. It was actually
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: in Great Britain. I'm trying to see if I can
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: find it here. I mean it was a guy named
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Tony Christie. Tony Christie was how do you describe me?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: He's like the Tom Jones of England at the time.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: He has similar voice, and Neil Sadaka wrote a song
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: for him, is This the Way to Amarillo. It became
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the biggest hit in Europe and it was revived like
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: in the two thousands in a video. Somebody put it
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: in a video, became a hit all over again. It
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: sold tens of millions of copies. It's in the Guinness
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Book of World Records. It's one of the biggest selling
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: singles in the history of the world. And nobody in
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: this country ever heard it. That's the one thing that
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: bothered Neil Sadaka. Me said, here it is. It's a
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: guy named Tony Christie. Well, if you listen to it,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: you'll get addicted. Who downloaded? Is this the way to Amarillo?
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Tony Christie? It was the biggest hit Neil Sadaka ever had,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: the only song he ever wrote that made the Guinness
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Book of World Records for sales. And it bugged the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: hell out of them that people in this country didn't
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: know it. So he recorded it once and tried to
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: make it a hit here and just didn't go anywhere.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And I remember talking about it once and he said, well,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: why couldn't it? I said, it doesn't work with you
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: singing it. You sound like a New York City guy.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: You don't sound like a guy who's going to Amarillo.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: It's a country in Western song. So and you can
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: you can see a lot of great videos of this online.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: But Neil Sidaka downloads him. Neil Sadaka put it, put
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: it in your iTunes. He was an incredible, incredible guy.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: So what else mayor mom? Donnie putting out crazy, crazy,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: crazy statements about Iran, all these Democrats. You'll see Connecticut
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: has a really nutjob Senator Chris Murphy, and you got
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: that total whack job Adam Shift and those Sunday shows.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: It's it's really irresponsible of ABC or other networks to
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: put these guys on the air. You got to put
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: some normal, reasonable people on the air on Sunday when
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: you when you know the guy's an absolute left wing kook,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: whack job and elon omar, Chris Murphy, an Adam Shift.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: You should not be putting him on the air in
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: a time of war like that. It's just it's just
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: not right. But they've been attacking him like crazy. Donnie'll
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: give him a little bit of a pass. He's twelve
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: years old, he never had a job before, but there
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: he was declaring this is the most illegal war.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: It's just in today's military strikes by the United States
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: and Israel mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal act
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: of war.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing illegal about it's certainly not. It's only
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: catastrophic if you're the Ayatola, if you're the Iranian regime. Now,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: the only fear is that they may have terror cells
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: in the United States that could be activated. I don't know.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know, mom. Donnie was asked about that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: In the security I've been in close contact with our
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are increasing agency
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: coordination as well as patrols of sensitive locations out of
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: an abundance of caution. Yeah.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: So there was one incident in Austin, Texas where a
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: guy came into a bar and started shooting hit about
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: ten or twelve people, and it turned out he was
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a guy who had in his car the Iranian flag
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: and I had whole a T shirt, the Quran, everything
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: in there. But outside of that, we haven't seen any incidents.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: And all over the world we've seen mostly just about
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: nothing but celebration and countries all over the world. Here
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: in the US and in the Los Angeles massive celebration
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: by Iranians. Now we have seen where was it to
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Columbia University, one crazy nut job, you know, yelling and
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: screaming that the US is the evil. Yeah, here's Columbia
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: University Anti Israel group. This is Columbia University. It's going
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: to take them twenty years to recover their reputation if
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: they ever do get it back. But here it is
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Columbia University. Anti Israel group posts death to America after
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the US kills Israel and Komene Colombia. Just write it off.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: It's a total disaster of a university. Just forget about it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Just wipe it out of your your mind. Don't even
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: think about them ever again. Away, we'll take some calls next.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
