• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's gonna be really hot today ninety five, a
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: heath wave day to day, and then tomorrow in the
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: ninety and then the rest of the weekend sixties. All right,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: all right, it's Memorial Day weekend coming up. A lot
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: to get to today. Corruption scandal with Donald Trump, not really,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: it's an MSNBC generated fake one. We'll get to that
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: in a few minutes. We'll get to the l r R.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Iran, we'll get to Colbert. A whole
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: lot more coming up. Ther strike devastating for a lot
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: of people, caused nightmare commutes yesterday for people on Long
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Island trying to get into the city. You had to
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: take driver or take an uber to get to the
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Queen's Place, where we could take a shuttle bus. They
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: had a lot of shuttle buses, but the traffic was
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: so brutal it is normally on the Long Island Railroad,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: but it was even more so, and it was so brutal.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: It would take almost two hours just to get to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Queen's where you had to get on a train and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: then spend another hour so it was two and a
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: half hour, three and a half hour commutes for a
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: lot of people, and this morning's rush hour looked like
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the same thing. Now they've settled the strike, but the
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: trains won't resume full service until this afternoon. And remember
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: it's Kathy Hokel, it's Jiano Lieber, the awful MTA commissioners.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: So who knows if they'll be on time, but supposedly
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you'll have a normal commute home on the Long Island
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Railroad today. They settled it. They will not disclose any terms.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: The governor will not say anything. They will just say
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: they're going to pay a fair wage. Now what does
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that mean. Why would they not reveal anything, Well, they
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: say they have to wait till the members vote. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: don't know if that's a vallexcuse. It could be that
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: they saw the political damage it was doing to her
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and that it was going to cost her a lot
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: of votes. It just caved in on everything. We'll see
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: when we get the numbers. But Kathy Hochl, now.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: The Long Island service we were old reservice resumed tomorrow
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: at noon with the full service time, expecting time for
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the evening rush hour. And yes, in time for the
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: next game.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is yesually she means tonight. Tonight, actually
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: at noon, she claims it. It'll resume, so it should
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: be okay by the evening rush.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Number one, protecting affordability for long Islanders and commuters while
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: giving fair wages to the employees, and by working and
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: negotiating together. We haven't reached that kind of deal.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Well, they say it was five different union heads, but
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: they say they're all good. They worked as a team,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: so they got it done. She always likes to talk
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: about affordability. Meantime, she's raising your taxes, your property taxes.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Congestion pricing. That was the funniest thing in all of this,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: where they said, well, at least you'll shut off the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: congestion pricing during the train strike because many people who
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: wouldn't drive are forced to drive. And they it was
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the dumbest explanation, This Jano liber this pompous ass who
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: runs the MTA.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: We can't just turn it on and off. That's not
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: in our power. And I understand it's an election year
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: and there's politics and people want to make an issue
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: of that, but congestion pricing is being used to invest
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: in the system to make him modern.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: No, it's not, and he's just full of crap. Of course,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you could turn it on and off. How do you
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: think it came on? They turned it on. It's a switch.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: You could turn it off. You can shut down the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: congestion pricing. Bruce Blakeman, who should be the next governor.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: But it's so disingenuous to say that the governor doesn't
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: have the power to pause it during the strike.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: The governor does.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Have the power to pause it. It was a bad
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: idea to begin with, but it's a terrible idea to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: do it during a strike when people have no choice
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: but to drive into the city.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's just ridiculously phony. You can't trust this
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: general lever. You certainly can't try, Kathy HKL can't turn
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: off the congestion pricing. So hey, Iran, look like bombing
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: would resume. In fact, when it does resume, I hearing
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: it's going to be different than before. It's going to
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: be much more extensive. The terms being used are full throttle,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: full throttle bombing of Iran. They're going to take out
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. Now, they're going to take out
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: certain railroad lines because straight oh, hor moose shut that's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: where Iran exports its oil, that's where it makes its money.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: But apparently there are train lines that they can send
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: oil to the other end of Iran and that way
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: can go to China. The problem is you can't do
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of oil on a train. You can a
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: tremendous amount on those big ships. By train. It's very slow,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: but you can get some out. But they're apparently going
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to take out those train tracks that it will be
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: absolutely no revenue, possibly at all for Iran. Now there's
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a pause. The president asked by other countries.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: I was asked by Saudi Arabia, Guitar Yue and some
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: others if we could put it off for two or
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: three days, a short period of time, because they think
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: that they are getting very close to making a deal.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Well, now, so all you're hearing today is Taco Trump.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: He chickened out. You know, they'll attack him. If he
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't attack, they'll attack him. If he does attack, you
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: can't win. So if you watch, a good parometer is
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you watch that crazy morning show every morning to see
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: where they are, see what they did. The whole purpose
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: of the show, the network, everything is just to make
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: it look like Trump is the most evil, awful, corrupt, crooked,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: disgusting human being on earth. So if there's something bad
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that he's done, they'll hit that all morning. If there's
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: nothing bad that he's done, they'll make up something. So
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: this morning was pretty funny. They've unveiled a big corruption scandal.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: They did a whole half hour on how Donald Trump
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: is trading stocks and profiting off them. Now you're laughing already,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: because this is what they do in Congress. This is
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: how Nancy Pelosi went from nothing to eight hundred million.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: This is how all of these senators and congressmen and
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: women get very wealthy insider trading because they know ahead
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: of time about government rulings, about FDA testing. They get
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: a preview of everything, you know, what new laws are comments,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: so they can make a fortune. So they went after
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump for this. But if you start to look
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: at the details, apparently he bought some stock in Dell computers,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and then they showed clips of him. Then all of
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: a sudden, he's out there talking about how great Dell is.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Dell computers. Oh that's pretty suspicious, isn't it. And the stock,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: sure enough, it did go up. But they didn't really
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: make clear that all of a sudden, Michael Dell got
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: involved with Trump, got involved with the Trump administration, donated
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: hundreds of millions, donate a fortune for student student loans
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to take care of I mean, you really did a great,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: great public service. Came to the White House a number
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: of times, and the president. You know, when you spend
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: time with these guys, you really learn about their company
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and what they're doing. And so he did buy some stock,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: but they failed to point out on MSNBC he bought
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: maybe the tiniest amount of stock he's ever bought in
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: his life. It was that tiny, tiny amount. It was
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: enough to say he had bought the stock, but it
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: was like fifty thousand in stock. Now, for a guy
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: like Trump, a normal buy is five million, or you know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: when you're worth eleven billion, a fifty thousand dollars stock
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: buy is like a two cents. It's like absolutely nothing.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: So even if he even the stock tripled, it wouldn't
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: make enough money to make any difference in his in
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: his portfolio. It just wouldn't. You know, when you're Warren Buffett,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you'll if you're going to buy a stock, you'll buy
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: twenty billion worth of stock, and that's a normal buy.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: You'll buy fifteen billion. So if Warren Buffett announced it
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: he bought a stock and then you find out it
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: was twenty five thousand, it doesn't mean much of anything.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Now they're also trying to say that this fun and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: that the president wants to set up. He had a
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: lawsuit going against the IRS and he was absolutely gonna
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: win this lawsuit. You remember a way back when during
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the campaign they leaked his tax returns, Well, he was
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: suing them for leaking his tax returns. That is absolutely
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: totally immoral, unethical, disgusting for the IRS to leak to
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: reporters your tax returns. You just can't do that. Well,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: now they'll say, well it was a third party contractor.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. It's somebody employed by the IRS. It's
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: an IRS person. They're responsible for the contractors. So he
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: had a massive lawsuit for one hundreds of millions going,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: which he would have won easily. There was no way
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: on earth he was going to lose that lawsuit. So
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: he's decided to drop it in exchange for setting up
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a government fund that will pay back whistleblowers, and not
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: whistleblowers will pay back victims who are victims of government weaponization.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of them. Some of the January
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: sixth people, and some of them beat up cops or
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: did something, but a lot of them did absolutely nothing,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: weren't even in the building, and then were thrown in
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: jail for ten years in solitary, and many of them,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and it's not just January sixth, it's a million other things.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: If you were targeted by the evil Merrick Garland, the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: sleazy Attorney General, or the dirty Joe Biden Justice Department,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: you were targeted and then you were cleared, nothing happened,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: you still ended up bankrupt. Ye took Roger Stone. He's
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: a perfect example, did absolutely nothing wrong, was targeted by
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration and these sturdy prosecutors. They did the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: most massive raid on his front lawn. You know, he
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and his wife. They are an older couple. They're totally harmless.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: If you can arrest them. In every other case in
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the history of the world, you tell their attorney to
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: surrender them at nine o'clock at the courthouse or whatever.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: But instead they launched a normandy invasion ride up his
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: front lawn. Tanks literally tanks, helicopters, boats. It was like
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: a two point something million dollar raid. They invited CNN
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: cameras to and it was absolutely ridiculous. Now Stone did
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: nothing wrong, he was totally cleared, but in the process
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: he was totally bankrupted. They took his house, they took
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: all his money, they took his car, they took everything,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: went totally broke, lost everything. So that's what this fund
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: is for somebody like that who was targeted. And just
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: just now, you could also put in Don Junior, Eric
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: and the Trump Organization, but they have said they will
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: they will not submit for any compensation. They're not going
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: to take part in this fund. Believe it or not.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Hunter Biden could be eligible because they did go after
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: him for weapons charges, drug charges, so he could get
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: some money. Now, it'll be a panel that'll look at
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: each case decide if you're owed monetary relief and if not,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: in some cases you might be owed an apology. The
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: president is going to to be owed an apology in
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: a number of cases. Even the documents rate at mar
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: A Lago turned out there weren't any classified documents. Those boxes,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the pictures they showed you were just regular presidential papers.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: They did find thirty five classified documents. Nothing significant, But
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: thirty five classified documents is one inch in a folder.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: So those hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of boxes, those
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: were not classified documents. Now they're going to tell you
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: that the idea of this fund is totally corrupt, totally illegal,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: unheard of. It's been done before, It's been done many times.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: The Obama administration did it. They set up almost a
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: billion dollar compensation fund for It's a long story, but
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: there was a class action lawsuit Native Americans farmers who
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: were abused by the government. Obama set up a fund
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: to pay them back. But the good thing about this fund,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I think another reason the president does this. You know
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: how you want to play with the dog, and you,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: for no reason at all, you just take this bone
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: and you throw it all the way over there. The
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: dog runs over and brings it back. And then for
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: no reason at all, just throw it back over there,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: and the dog runs over and brings it back. That
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the president does that with the Democrats. Just throw something
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: over there, let him go chase that. So he's got
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: them all the morning. Joe, his glasses were all steaming
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: up this morning. He was so mad. They're all mad
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: about this fund, and it gives a Schumer with the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: new big glasses. Now Schumer's got something to yell about.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Of all the corrupt things Donald Trump has done, this
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: maga slush fund at the Department of Justice is one
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of the most depraved. Trump is shaking hands with himself
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: in order to fund his insurrection insurrectionist army to the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: tune of two billion, of tune of billions of dollars.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Do you hear how outraged this guy is. He's so
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: outraged that he didn't even have anything to say. He
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: had like an intern type this up. He has these
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: little junior people write the speech, write these words, put
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: him on index cards, and he puts on his big
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: glasses and his cheap suit, and he's stands at a
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: podium and he reads it to you. But he doesn't
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: even You know, if I had to do that, I
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: would go over it a whole bunch of times so
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't have to read it, so I could pretty
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: much say it. I might have to cheat and take
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: a look down to remember the next line. But he
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: doesn't bother even on the way over in the car,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't even look at it at the time, just gets
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: up at the podium. This is the most descretive you
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: can tell he's reading it. There's no passion, no feel
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: of all.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: The corrupt things Donald Trump is done. This Maga slush
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: fund at the Department of Justice is one of the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: most depraved. Trump is shaking hands.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: So he does these things. He reads the index cards,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: then he's done, and then as he walks away, dumps
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: it in the waste basket and forget and that's it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: And then his staff tries to get him on any
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: TV show that he can get on. Everybody says no,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: nobody wants to Adam Shift a little more colorful. Shumer
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: is like just a slow, unpleasure and sort of a guy.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: So whenever you see, oh, you know, you might see
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: him on the Sunday shows this week the only time
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: he ever gets on. When you're doing these Sunday shows
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: on Memorial Day weekend, everybody goes away. Normally, they're all
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: in Washington, DC. You could get a lot of pretty
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: much whoever you want to be on your Sunday show
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: because they're in Washington, d C. It's only ten minutes
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: away to go to your studio. But Memorial Day weekend,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: everybody is gone. Everybody's away. It happens like the second
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: part of this week, it's going to have every TV
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: show the host is off, the guests, your regular guests
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: are all gone, so you try to get anybody. So
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: you might see Schumer on some Sunday shows. Everybody's gone.

  Speaker 2: That's the only way he ever gets on. Hey, we
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: got a lot to get to coming up. We'll take some. Oh.

• 15:26
  Speaker 2: to say, feel very strongly about speaking up here if
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: you want to, the problem is they're not. I don't
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: think they have a website. It's if you go on Instagram,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: go to end jew hatred. It's all one word, end
• 15:39
