  Speaker 2: of the Moon and you're Bruno Mars concert.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: You had a weekend I listen. Oh, don't even get
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: me started. In fact, let me give everybody a rest.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: On the eight o'clock hour. I'll take him bit by
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: bit through the experience of walking into a baseball stadium
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: for a concert which has plus his N minuses sixty
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: seconds on this guy, and then I'll go to what
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you were just talking about, and then everything else in
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the news at this moment, to see showmanship alive, to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: see zero politics from the stage this, and then just
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the stylistic benefit. This young man is forty, all right,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: He's not twenty, but he's not seventy either. And much
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: of the concert acts I see her people who are
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: seventy five or older, and such joy and all the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: retro James Brown, Prince Issley Brothers, Casey and the Sunshine.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It is keeping that wheelhouse alive because I'm looking out
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: through this crowd of sixty five thousand, a couple of
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: folks who are my age, a couple of folks who
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: are at least his age, just smid younger. Mostly it's
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: probably folks twenties, thirties, forties, and to keep that alive.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: And I'm not one of those people who believes that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: all modern music is garbage, just most of it. And
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it's brooding and it's self absorbed, and it's crappy. And
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: this is about joy, it's about romance, it's about love,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: it's about men, it's about women. And it was just
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: an unbridled joy. God bless that, young man.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And so I'm so glad you had a good time. Well,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: let me give you hear my quick My pop culture reference
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: for the weekend was finishing the Johnny Carson book Love Johnny,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and I'm sending it to you today. I finished it
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna I'm gonna ship it off to you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: so you can read this book. Mark. It's it's remarkable
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: any of us who grew up on Johnny Carson, the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: king of late night, the guy who knew how to
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: do it, very complicated guy, difficult guy in time. Did
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you know? Let me share a heartbreaking story about Johnny
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Carson's last few years on the air. Remember when his
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: son tragically was killed Rick Ricky Yep, his son Rick
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: was a photographer and was taking was on a job
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and was taking pictures of like the I don't know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the San Fernando Valley, whatever, mountains. But he was on
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the side of a cliff and somehow he went over
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the cliff, you know, a terrible accident, and it just
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: devastated Johnny. It was just beyond and he couldn't even
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: talk about it for weeks on air. Finally when he did,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: he did. He did a tribute on air on The
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Tonight Show.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Some of his photographs, his bumpers in and out of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: commercial right.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Well, fred de Kordova was his longtime producer, fred de Kordova,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you remember him, and he was the glass, the big
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: big glasses, and the horn room glass and the dark hair. Well,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: he was his producer forever. That night, when Carson did
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: his tribute to his late fred De Kordova, made the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: mistake of giving him the wrap up signal off camera
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: because fred to Kordova always sat right off camera twenty
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: feet from Johnny the whole time. Well, he did that,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: he did the wrap up. Johnny was so enraged that
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: he never permitted fred to Kordova to ever be on
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the floor of the show. Again. Ever, now he was
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: still the producer.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: How far ahead? So Johnny wraps up in I think
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: May of ninety two. When was this, I mean it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Was a four years. It was a few years I
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: think where he was persona non grada. Now he was
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: still the producer. The book describes him as a man
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: without a country, this tragic figure who would haunt the halls.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: He'd be in his office, he would still greet the guests,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: he would still act like the producer of the Tonight Show,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: but was not permitted on the floor of the show
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: ever again evening Johnny.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It was a year June of ninety one, so a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: year of exile. Go ahead, I'm sorry.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Wow. And even the last night, you know, a rememorable
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: night where Johnny was on the stool in front of
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the in front of the rainbow curtain and did this
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: whole final was not allowed to be on the floor there.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: What a what a heartbreaking.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Listen, may look at the industry we're in. Okay, this
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: this was not I know what you're gonna say. I
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: know what you're gonna say.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: The wrap up may have been a time break, and
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: that's that's we all live by that. There's nothing we
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: can do, but I don't know. I don't know if
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: we have to.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, or was it in the middle of the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: show I got I've got to guess it couldn't have
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: been at the very although the end of the show
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: might have been a natural place for such a thing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I was in the middle of the show and you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: get maybe a minute less with tiny Tim or Bob Newhart,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: than maybe then maybe that was a bad thing to do.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: See, I don't know if it was an editorial decision
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: on Fred the cord of his part, or timing decision.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: The book doesn't explain it. But look, if it was
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: a heartbreak it was, I don't know how they You.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Know, maybe maybe Fred was maybe Fred had a point,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: but maybe you just don't do that. You have given
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: me thirty seconds of something else to do. Thank you
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in advance for if you're going to send me that book.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Let me tell everybody, if you have a friend, especially
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: in this era, send them a book. It's one of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the most thoughtful, wonderful things you can do. You and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I have done it back and forth, and literally on
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: my list of things to do today is to thank you.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Guess what I just finished last night. Every every day
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: is Sunday. How Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, and Roger Goodell
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: changed the NFL. The journalist Ken Belson, listen, you think
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you know about the NFL, You don't know about the NFL.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: There are things in there. And listen to any book
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: featuring the Jerry Jones story. He with great fairness and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: pluses and minuses, warts and all, looks into these three
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Titanic figures, and I learned a lot. One little factoid,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: just what when we're watching the super Bowl? It is
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest scope the money, glitz, glamour, fame, attention,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: eyeballs on screens when you are watching a Super Bowl,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl halftime show, the biggest entertainment moment in the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: nation's year. That whole thing is made possible by a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: community of people who are essentially carnies and gypsies, people
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: who have been pretty well dragged off the street at
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: close to minimum wage by the host city because they
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: got to save money to cobble together. It's like what
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I was. It was just one of men. So thank
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you for that book and exactly yeah, yeah, books for friends, especially,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: do you do you Mike Gallagher do you do real books?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Have you ever read a book on a kindle in
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: your life?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Never? In my life, I got it. I never will book,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and I never like. I still like a newspaper. I
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: was in the airport yesterday. I grabbed New York Times
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and I grabbed a New York Post. I still I mean,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I don't read everything I'm now ninety percent of what
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I'm doing is online. Sure, there's something about paging through
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: a paper and seeing the column. Same with the book.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I like the smell of a book.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I like the turn the pages, to be halfway through
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a book and see it with the things sticking out.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah you did this, you did this, so last thirty
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: seconds before the news. We all live life, going through
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: life with phones and you know, taking little videos of things.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: A lot of video and a lot of images came
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: off this Artemis mission. But yesterday Captain the Commander Read Wiseman,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: posted something he shot with his phone out the spacecraft window,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: watching the tiny earth set sideways behind the globe of
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the moon, and he's basically going, man, you can't believe it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at here. He was us, he was me,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he was you. He's to every man. I mean I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: was kind of excited, not like you. I saw it
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and I thought Mark Davis just fainted. I thought I did,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: because you get the paddles out. Imagery from every spacecraft
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is professional hassle blad, you know, five milimeter. This was
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: like they let him have their phones on the spacecraft
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and he held his phone up to the window and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: captured like I might have the Earth disappearing behind the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: massive globe of the Moon and did it like a teenager.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So thank you, Captain Wiseman Yana, thank you, Mike. There's
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to talk about that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: There's something bizarre about an astronaut waving around his iPhone
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: in that capsule just flows my mind. It's crazy. All right. Now,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that's the dark side of the Moon. Let's start with
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: something very very dark. Have you checked out the battle
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: raging right now online between Candace Owans and Laura Lumer.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: That would imply I'm paying attention to something Candace Owans
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: is doing, which I distinctly try to avoid. How I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: count on you to bring me the latest Witch.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just all over X. I love X and
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I spend a lot of time there and over the weekend.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what it is as ugly. Laura Lumer
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: has decided to go after Candace Owans, and so that
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: means Candace Owans is going after Laura Lumer. Now looks
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I've given you some advice in my life. You and
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I share advice. You and I give each other a
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: little different pearls of wisdom. Let me give you a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: little advice. This is just this is just life advice
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: for you to live by. Okay, don't ever tick off
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Laura Lumer Organdi zone. It's it's oh, it's bad. They're
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: going after stood. Oh my gosh, They're going after each
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: other's families. They're going after each other's parents. Laura is
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: about to do. I mean, it's unbelievable, how personal and vile.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: And they go right for the jugular. So here's these two,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: you know, culture warriors. If you will, of social media.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: The go back X number of years, you would have
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: found them on the same side of a lot of things.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: That's what's so strange about it all. But all of
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: them is different. It's Israel. Israel changes everything. Israel is
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: But anyway, if you want some entertainment, you go to
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: X and look for the last couple of days of
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: the back and forth, and now one of them is
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: accusing the other one of blocking her. And I didn't
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: block you. You block me? No, you block me? Are
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: we twelve? It's unbelieved her blocking. I'm telling you you
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: should see this. It's wild. It's one I know, but
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: it's well, you're right. On the one hand, you'd avoid it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: On the other hand, it's pretty remarkable. And look, you
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: could get some advice. You could get some pointers though,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: if you ever want to insult your worst enemy, you
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: can get some good phraseology from these two ladies, because
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: they are Oh my word, it is absolutely insane. How
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: about sixty minutes last night? Uh, you don't say they
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: had a guest sixty minutes. Iran was very close to
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: having enough enriched uranium for nuclear weapons.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But all the smart kids say that Iran posed no
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: threat at all for forty years. And this is an exercise.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Last time you and inspectors were able to verify. Now, look,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Iran is a headache for President Trump right now. We
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: got to fit. You say, this lady is pulling what
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: is he like thirty some percent now in the NBC
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: pull I know, I mean, by the way I was
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: watching over the weekend. Did you see John Fetterman.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: On lower Ingram on Friday or Friday Night?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Friday night, John Fetterman, for the first time appeared on
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Laura Ingram Show. I'm telling you what you closed your eyes,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: you'd say, yeah, that's a pretty solid repul looking for
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the Republican district on this. I mean, if the Democrat
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: you know what he is, it hit me. He's a
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: throwback mark to the Democratic Party of our parents and
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: our grandparents. Yes, you know, and if they they don't
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: even realize if if the party today was like him,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: we'd never win another election.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It would be really hard. I fear the ascendancy of
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: a Fetterman. I was going to come up with somebody else,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: but I can't. Harold Ford Junior.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think they'll let them. I don't think they'll
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: let him. They will, thank God.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: The current party is too crazy to allow a path
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: forward for somebody as sensible as he.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: James Carville is now saying. When we get power, he said,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: we're going to grant statehood to DC and Puerto Rico
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: get four extra seats in the Center for the Democrats
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: packed the Supreme Court to thirteen reopen the border mass amnesty,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: and he says, look, don't run on it, just don't
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: even talk about it. Just do it. Yep, guess what
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: they will believe them. Tim over the weekend with I
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: think it was Shannon Breen admitted, Yeah, we want over
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: representation in the state of Virginia ninety percent if they
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: get their redistricting. Wish there's the state Trump took by
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: almost fifty percent. And she asked him, she said, well,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: how can that be? Goes Well, look, it's about it's
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: about stopping Trump. Basically, we want to send a message
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: that will stop the Trump agenda. I love it when
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: they say that out loud.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I'll take them.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I'll take it. Thanks to the transparency, Tim Kane. So look,
• 12:27
