- 0:31Speaker 1: What's developing here? George Soros kind of well, he's trying
- 0:36Speaker 1: to intimidate these nine to eleven families with his crazy donations.
- 0:41Speaker 1: We'll get to that. We'll get to Vincent past story,
- 0:44Speaker 1: the Sopranos, will get to Nancy Guthrie's mother. A lot
- 0:47Speaker 1: of stuff coming out. Who's the highest paid podcaster? Well,
- 0:50Speaker 1: why do you hear the whole list? It's pretty interesting.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Lots to get to this morning. It's somehow it's August already.
- 0:58Speaker 1: The hell happened? It was just summer just started. It's
- 1:01Speaker 1: August today. If you're a Democrat, cover your ears for
- 1:05Speaker 1: a minute. Price of oil down, price of oil dropping.
- 1:09Speaker 1: That's mainly because it looks like there could be some
- 1:13Speaker 1: sort of a settlement with Iran. Yeah, we hear this
- 1:16Speaker 1: all the time. But there was to be a massive
- 1:19Speaker 1: attack beginning last night. It was called off by the
- 1:23Speaker 1: President as Iran is now coming to the table. They're
- 1:27Speaker 1: going to make a deal. Part of the deal is
- 1:29Speaker 1: they will let the strait of Hormuse be opened completely
- 1:33Speaker 1: now because they've offered all Maybe they do this all
- 1:36Speaker 1: the time, I know, I know they always do this,
- 1:39Speaker 1: but then they you know, they agree to everything, buys
- 1:42Speaker 1: them a few weeks, then they violate everything. But it
- 1:46Speaker 1: wasn't just that they agreed. It was the our allies
- 1:49Speaker 1: in the Middle East, Oman Cutter, Saudi Arabia, all the
- 1:53Speaker 1: leaders called the president begged him to hold off. And
- 1:58Speaker 1: one thing about Trump, I know a lot of Democrats
- 2:00Speaker 1: won't believe this, but he's not aggressive guy. I mean's
- 2:05Speaker 1: aggressive business wise, campaign wise, but he's not a ruthless guy.
- 2:11Speaker 1: The big all out of tack might be great, but
- 2:14Speaker 1: it's going to kill a lot of people, and he
- 2:17Speaker 1: just doesn't want to do that if he doesn't have to.
- 2:19Speaker 1: So that's why he holds off. The President optimistic about
- 2:23Speaker 1: the deal this time.
- 2:24Speaker 2: He just made a great settlement of the War of
- 2:27Speaker 2: the Red and we're going to be a subject to
- 2:31Speaker 2: finalization of documents. We should get done over the next
- 2:35Speaker 2: few days, probably have a signing maybe in Europe.
- 2:40Speaker 1: You know, we all know somebody who's like the biggest
- 2:42Speaker 1: liar on earth. No matter what they say, they're lying,
- 2:45Speaker 1: and you know, whatever they agree to, it's never going
- 2:47Speaker 1: to work. But Todd Blanche Attorney General, looks like it'll happen.
- 2:54Speaker 1: They had to get rid of that fund. There is
- 2:56Speaker 1: going to be a fund to pay back victims of
- 3:00Speaker 1: the weaponization of the Justice Department law fair. They've agreed
- 3:04Speaker 1: to drop that fund. In exchange for that, he'll get
- 3:07Speaker 1: the three or four votes that were holdouts that he needs,
- 3:09Speaker 1: so Todd Blanche will be the Attorney general. Mom Donnie
- 3:15Speaker 1: insists he's going to Ground zero World Trade Center on
- 3:20Speaker 1: nine to eleven. This is a big one. It's the
- 3:22Speaker 1: twenty fifth anniversary. The families have all pleaded with them
- 3:27Speaker 1: not to come. They do not want to see him there.
- 3:30Speaker 1: And George Soros always evil, always the lowest, evil, most
- 3:35Speaker 1: disgusting guy on Earth, and his son Alex Soros, his
- 3:40Speaker 1: Open Society's Foundation. They're funding these organizations that are now
- 3:45Speaker 1: trying to intimidate the nine to eleven families publicly calling
- 3:49Speaker 1: them islamophobes and it's anti Muslim, and they're just trying
- 3:53Speaker 1: to smear them so that they'll stop calling for Mom
- 3:57Speaker 1: Donnie not to be there. They've said if Mom Donnie's there,
- 4:00Speaker 1: they'll all turn their back on him. Remember Deblasio where
- 4:03Speaker 1: all the police turned their back on him. It was
- 4:05Speaker 1: quite a brutal moment. In the case of Mom Donnie.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I don't know, he's a very calculating, scheming guy. I
- 4:13Speaker 1: don't know. He might like that image. He might think
- 4:16Speaker 1: that'll help him somehow. I mean, they got a legitimate
- 4:18Speaker 1: case in him not coming. He is the mayor, which
- 4:22Speaker 1: usually means he should be there. But he's a guy
- 4:24Speaker 1: that hangs around with the worst people on earth. A
- 4:27Speaker 1: bunch of these people that he hangs around with or
- 4:30Speaker 1: that he is associated with, publicly say we deserve nine
- 4:33Speaker 1: to eleven. It was not I mean, nine to eleven
- 4:36Speaker 1: was the worst terrorist attack ever ever, but they defend it.
- 4:41Speaker 1: They only defend it. They say it was nothing wrong
- 4:44Speaker 1: with it, We deserved it. So if you're hanging around
- 4:46Speaker 1: with that kind of crowd, what the hell are you
- 4:48Speaker 1: doing at the nine to eleven ceremonies. Now, Alan Dershowitz,
- 4:53Speaker 1: always very outspoken, it was a good percentage of Jewish
- 4:57Speaker 1: votes that went to Mom, Donnie Listen Atiwitz.
- 5:00Speaker 3: These idiot Jews, they have no idea what they're doing.
- 5:04Speaker 3: And you know, people say Jews are smart, Yeah, they're
- 5:06Speaker 3: smart Jews. Some of the dumbest people I've ever met
- 5:10Speaker 3: are Jews from Park Slope and Upper East Side and
- 5:13Speaker 3: Upper West Side who don't understand where their own interests lie.
- 5:18Speaker 1: It really has nothing to do with being Jewish. It
- 5:20Speaker 1: just has to do with being crazy democratic left wing,
- 5:24Speaker 1: the prim Sure there's crazy Republicans too, but the crazy
- 5:28Speaker 1: left with the socialism with it. You know, you ask
- 5:32Speaker 1: these Democrats who's the leader of the party right now,
- 5:35Speaker 1: it's always the ex president, which would be Biden. But
- 5:38Speaker 1: Biden is like a frozen vegetable. It's not Biden, so
- 5:43Speaker 1: it should be Obama. But Obama stays the whole out
- 5:48Speaker 1: of it. He likes to stay under the radar, he
- 5:50Speaker 1: likes to stay quiet. You don't see much of him publicly,
- 5:52Speaker 1: so they'll admit. Finally, the real leader public leader of
- 5:56Speaker 1: the party right now is Bernie Sanders Sanders is the
- 6:01Speaker 1: public leader of the Democratic Party, the socialist he is
- 6:04Speaker 1: a socialist means communists. They call it socialists, means communists.
- 6:07Speaker 1: But you know, Chuck Schumer is the highest ranking Democrat
- 6:14Speaker 1: in America right now, but he has absolutely no power,
- 6:17Speaker 1: no authority. He's totally irrelevant. The party has been taken over.
- 6:21Speaker 1: And how did this happen? This younger generation that went
- 6:25Speaker 1: to indoctrination camps called the Harvard the Columbia generations were
- 6:30Speaker 1: raised by these radical, extreme professors, and they turned out
- 6:35Speaker 1: all these socialists voting young. Listen to Bill Maher on
- 6:39Speaker 1: the subject.
- 6:39Speaker 4: Okay, I'm just going to say it, since the far left,
- 6:42Speaker 4: the far far left, is overwhelmingly made up of affluent,
- 6:46Speaker 4: ultra woke white people. You raised your kids wrong. You
- 6:52Speaker 4: told your precious brats that every brain fart was genius,
- 6:56Speaker 4: and now those brain farts are becoming Democratic Party policy.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Well, he's right. They come out of Harvard, and they
- 7:05Speaker 1: come out of Columbia, and they got seven degrees and
- 7:09Speaker 1: things that are totally useless, and they can't get a job,
- 7:13Speaker 1: and they're living in their parents' basement and they can't
- 7:15Speaker 1: make a living. Meantime, there's people who went to trade school.
- 7:19Speaker 1: They became a plumber and electrician. They're making two hundred
- 7:21Speaker 1: and fifty thousand a year and these people aren't making anything,
- 7:24Speaker 1: so they're voting for all this crazy socialism. I know
- 7:28Speaker 1: it doesn't work, they know it doesn't work, but they
- 7:31Speaker 1: don't care. They just want to take down the whole
- 7:34Speaker 1: system because they hate it so much. Now, you got
- 7:36Speaker 1: this big primary tomorrow in Michigan where it's the primary,
- 7:40Speaker 1: the Democratic primary. So if the crazy socialist candidate wins,
- 7:46Speaker 1: that is great for the Republicans because it's guaranteed victory
- 7:49Speaker 1: in November. Because the crazy socialists can't win. You know.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Maybe they can win in California, maybe they can win
- 7:56Speaker 1: in New York or Boston, but Michigan is the heartland,
- 8:00Speaker 1: it's real America. You can't win there. So everybody is
- 8:03Speaker 1: hoping that there's enough crazy Democratic votes to get that
- 8:08Speaker 1: socialist denomination. Then the Republican candidate can easily win. You know,
- 8:12Speaker 1: it's funny you want to examine the voting because there
- 8:17Speaker 1: is cheating. You know, we've seen it all over the place.
- 8:19Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of voter fraud. We've seen even
- 8:22Speaker 1: New Jersey had to admit thousands and thousands of illegals
- 8:25Speaker 1: were on the voter rolls, and then, of course you
- 8:28Speaker 1: never heard anything about that again. And the Trump administration,
- 8:32Speaker 1: the Justice Department, asked, can we see the illegal voting?
- 8:34Speaker 1: Can we see the name? Since Jersey refusing to turn
- 8:37Speaker 1: it over. You're not allowed to question an election. You're
- 8:40Speaker 1: not allowed to question any election ever. Even though there's
- 8:45Speaker 1: all kind of evidence of illegals voted or mail in
- 8:48Speaker 1: ballots that weren't right, that didn't have signata, you're not
- 8:50Speaker 1: allowed to question it.
- 8:53Speaker 3: Now.
- 8:53Speaker 1: It's a funny thing in America. In the football game,
- 8:56Speaker 1: they can stop every two minutes, they'll stop the game,
- 9:00Speaker 1: bring out the chains. They'll measure down to the micro
- 9:02Speaker 1: inch fell instant replay fifteen times from seven different angles
- 9:06Speaker 1: to study, just to see if it was right. But
- 9:08Speaker 1: an election, not allowed to question it, not allowed to
- 9:12Speaker 1: look at anything ever. Hey, somehow it's August. How the
- 9:15Speaker 1: hell did that happen? It's August already. August is like
- 9:20Speaker 1: the Sunday of summer. It's like the final month before
- 9:24Speaker 1: a labor day. Oh you know who died? Vincent Pastori
- 9:28Speaker 1: known the guy for years. I still don't know is
- 9:30Speaker 1: it Vincent Pastor or Vincent Pastori. I think it's pastory.
- 9:35Speaker 1: It should be pastory, but I think he says Pastor,
- 9:37Speaker 1: Vincent Pastor. Good guy. He was, of course a big
- 9:42Speaker 1: pussy in the Sopranos, and you know he was. He
- 9:47Speaker 1: grew up in the Bronx. He went to I didn't really.
- 9:49Speaker 1: I think he briefly went to Pace College. He was
- 9:53Speaker 1: like a bartender. He worked in bars, he worked in restaurants.
- 9:56Speaker 1: He didn't become an actor till he was in his
- 9:57Speaker 1: forties and started to get all kinds of roles here
- 10:02Speaker 1: and you know, just little parts here and there, different movies.
- 10:05Speaker 1: And of course the big break was the Sopranos. But
- 10:08Speaker 1: before that he was in remember the Gotti movie with
- 10:13Speaker 1: what's his name?
- 10:13Speaker 4: Was it?
- 10:13Speaker 1: Armand de Sante. A great movie actually, that Gotti movie
- 10:16Speaker 1: Anthony Quinn, isn't it. He had a good part and
- 10:19Speaker 1: it was his first good part. He's in Good Fellaws.
- 10:22Speaker 1: You know, at the beginning of Good Fellas when the
- 10:25Speaker 1: kid looks across the street at the cabstan and they
- 10:27Speaker 1: show all these hoodlums hanging out the cabstan. Look carefully
- 10:32Speaker 1: freeze fram it. They were all unknowns. Then, but they
- 10:35Speaker 1: went on the big things. Polly Walnuts of the Sopranos
- 10:39Speaker 1: is in that shot. A lot of people, including Vincent Pastori.
- 10:42Speaker 1: You'll see him standing there, and of course he gets
- 10:45Speaker 1: the Sopranos and it became the biggest thing for him
- 10:49Speaker 1: and to put him on the map and he'll be
- 10:51Speaker 1: remembered forever for the Sopranos. Now, unfortunately, the way it
- 10:56Speaker 1: worked out, his character gets killed in season two or three,
- 11:01Speaker 1: which is not good. Remember where they took him out
- 11:03Speaker 1: on the boat. They were gonna shoot it on the face. Okay,
- 11:07Speaker 1: give me that, huh, keep my eyes. You were like
- 11:13Speaker 1: a budget all of us. Yeah, but they loved the guy.
- 11:27Speaker 1: They loved him on the show. So they brought him
- 11:28Speaker 1: back and these dream sequences and these flashbacks a few
- 11:33Speaker 1: times later years now, and he lived in the Bronx.
- 11:37Speaker 1: He grew up in the Bronx, but he lived in
- 11:39Speaker 1: the Bronx City Island. He lived there and was found
- 11:42Speaker 1: dead a couple of days ago. He hadn't been seen
- 11:44Speaker 1: in a day or two. They went to his house
- 11:47Speaker 1: and he had died. I think he was eighty years old.
- 11:49Speaker 1: But you know, the Sopranos is having a massive revival
- 11:55Speaker 1: and a lot of people. We all love the Sopranos,
- 11:57Speaker 1: but it's hard to believe how long those that. It
- 12:00Speaker 1: was like twenty five years No, it's more than twenty
- 12:02Speaker 1: five years ago. It started. It's like twenty seven years ago.
- 12:05Speaker 1: I know, it's hard to believe. And it went off
- 12:08Speaker 1: the air like, I don't know, nineteen years ago. So
- 12:12Speaker 1: you could go back and watch it now. You should.
- 12:14Speaker 1: In fact, you know, if you're looking for what to watch,
- 12:16Speaker 1: what's streaming shot forget all that, just start watching the Sopranos.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Start from episode one because obviously, you know, you remember
- 12:23Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, but sixty percent of it you
- 12:26Speaker 1: won't remember. There's all these scenes you don't remember, but
- 12:29Speaker 1: you can watch it all over again and look fresh
- 12:30Speaker 1: to you. But what is really causing the revival? Younger
- 12:34Speaker 1: people are watching. Young people are watching. You know why?
- 12:37Speaker 1: The Sopranos was all before everything went woke and politically
- 12:41Speaker 1: correct and cancel culture was before all of that, so
- 12:46Speaker 1: you could say or do anything. There were gay jokes,
- 12:49Speaker 1: there were lesbian jokes, there were jokes about women, There
- 12:53Speaker 1: was all kinds of member. Veto was gay, so they
- 12:55Speaker 1: had to kill him because he had to get killed
- 12:57Speaker 1: because he was gay. I mean that kind of stuff.
- 13:00Speaker 1: In the show, they used all kinds of disgusting language
- 13:04Speaker 1: you can't say today, all kinds of ethnic slurs. So
- 13:08Speaker 1: younger people have never seen anything like this. You know,
- 13:10Speaker 1: if you're twenty two, you grew up in a world
- 13:12Speaker 1: where none of that ever existed. So to see it
- 13:14Speaker 1: in the show is shocking to them. It's just stunning.
- 13:18Speaker 1: So they're all watching it with their mouth up and
- 13:21Speaker 1: they can't believe it. They have never seen anything like this. Hey,
- 13:25Speaker 1: who's the highest paid podcaster in the world. Well, now,
- 13:30Speaker 1: when it comes to podcasting, you got two types of podcasters.
- 13:33Speaker 1: You have professionals, real podcasters, and then you have every

- 14:58Speaker 1: he gets forty five mi Millionaire Ashley Flowers Crime Junkie
- 15:03Speaker 1: forty two million dollars a year. That's pretty good. You know.
- 15:07Speaker 1: In the first days of podcasting, the big podcasts were
- 15:10Speaker 1: always always the crime things. The podcast was always an
- 15:15Speaker 1: eight part series about three people were killed in Mississippi
- 15:18Speaker 1: fourteen years ago and we go through that. That was
- 15:21Speaker 1: the big thing originally. Number four is Crime Junkie, Will Arnett,

- 16:06Speaker 1: of them are these amateur podcasts where they're paying to
- 16:09Speaker 1: do the podcast. They pay for it. They annoy the
