• 0:15
  Speaker 1: three hours now. Nine to noon every day. Nine to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: noon every day. A lot to get to this hour.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: President Trump meeting with the AI leaders this afternoon. having
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: lunch with these guys and then a big meeting. They'll
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: discuss the future of AI. The president, talking to reporters
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: all day yesterday, he had a terrible attack, terrorist attack
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: on one of our bases, military base we have in
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the UK. It was stopped. It was foiled in the UK.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: The arrest in the UK was fantastic. Working with Britain,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: it was an amazing job. We had them under investigation.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: They were looking to do big damage to our port.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: And working with the British worked out great. We worked
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: with a lot of them. We had them under view
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: for a long time, and we got them.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, since 9-11, we have foiled a lot of terrorist attacks.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Even here in New York City, the Ray Kelly years,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: he had quite a terrorist task force. I think he
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: stopped some amazing number, like 15 terrorist plots were were foiled,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: but the UK, that was a big one. They were
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: going to go after our military base.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: I will tell you, I would have said, don't let
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: them have bail, cashless bail. I wonder, is it cashless bail,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I guess? That was one of the problems that we had,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: which started the whole mess of crime.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem. They let the terrorists go in
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the UK. Cashless bail. Thank you, Andrew Cuomo, for this
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: no bail, no jail, absolutely ridiculous stuff. Kathy Hochul, Continuing it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie, loving it. Let all the criminals loose. The
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: crazy DA, Alvin Bragg. Hey, don't forget in a few days, actually,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I think it's like 35 days away in the midterms,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you'll want to make sure Bruce Blakeman is governor, but
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you can also get rid of this awful Letitia James
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and you can get a real prosecutor in there who'll
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: go after actual criminals, not just Donald Trump. Hey, speaking
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of which the, uh, Remember that bug-eyed weirdo, Jack Smith,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that special prosecutor? Absolute weirdo, nut job, the guy with
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the cape. He's testifying all day today in front of
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the Senate Judiciary Committee. They're going to be grilling him
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: all day. You thought he was bug-eyed before? Wait till
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you see him in these hearings with his eyes bulging out.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: He is one weird, crazy guy. You know, when they
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: wanted to go after Donald Trump. Think about what Donald
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Trump overcame. He was in the middle of four trials.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: He was being tried, criminal charges, in four places. Remember,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: there was Georgia, there was here in New York, Washington,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: all these trials. You remember they tried to remove him
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: from the ballot. They got his name yanked off the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: ballot in different states. So there were four different trials
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: trying to put him in jail. His name yanked off
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the ballot. He was debanked, the bank's Every bank canceled him,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: threw him out. He couldn't even write a check. I mean,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: this guy went from that to president of the United States.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It's an incredibly inspiring story of overcoming difficulties and succeeding.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It's an amazing thing. In fact, there's a new book
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: about it by Victor Davis Hanson, already number one on
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the New York Times bestseller list. And that's basically what
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the book is about. How a guy did that went
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: from that kind of a mess to to overcoming it
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and becoming president of the United States, an incredible book.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But this Jack Smith, we'll see what they grill him with.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It was a ridiculous case, absolutely ridiculous case. They claim
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that he had all kinds of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: First of all, every president leaves with classified documents. It's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: perfectly normal. Biden, when they checked his house, he had 7,000,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: 8,000 classified documents. It's perfectly normal. Hey, by the way,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: in the end, remember, Jack Smith raided Mar-a-Lago with hundreds
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: of agents with machine guns. You remember they had actually
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: gotten authorization to use deadly force if they have to.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: This was that very dirty attorney general, Merrick Garland, who
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: signed off on this. He gave them authorization to use
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: deadly force in Mar-a-Lago if they needed to. Now, what
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the hell would you need that for? It's a bunch
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of old ladies. Have you ever been to Mar-a-Lago? It's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a million old yentas. How are you? You don't need
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: deadly force. You need earplugs with that crowd. That's all
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you need. But he raided every inch. Remember, they went
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: through everything in Mar-a-Lago, every inch of Mar-a-Lago. They checked everything.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: They even went through Melania Trump's underwear drawer. This is true.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Just like Polly Walnuts and the Sopranos. They went through
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the underwear drawer. They went through Barron's room. In the end,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you know what they found? 35 classified documents. That's all
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: they found, 35 of them. And they weren't anything serious.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: They were just, you know, outdated, mild stuff. But that's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: all they found is 35 classified documents. If you put
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: them in a folder, the folder's one inch thick. So
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it's one inch of one box. So they kept putting
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: out those pictures of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of boxes.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: There were no classified documents in any of those boxes.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I hope this gets cleared up in today's hearings with
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith. Now, I don't know if they can prosecute
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: this guy. They really should. You know, when they wanted
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to go after Donald Trump and they needed a special counsel, well,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in Washington, you probably had 1,800 people perfectly qualified. But
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: they went halfway around the world to bring in this guy,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith, because he's an old hitman for the Democrats.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: He's done this before, where he targets a political opponent,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a Republican. Makes up all kinds of charges. He did
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that to that Virginia governor, McDonald. Convicted him of like
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: eight things. Every one of them tossed out by the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court who reprimanded Jack Smith saying he had just
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: fabricated all this nonsense for political purposes. So that's his history.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: When you watch the hearings later, you'll see that he
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: is a bug-eyed, weird, scary guy. I mean, if you
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: saw this guy coming down the street, you'd call 911.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: He's such a bug-eyed weirdo of a guy. Hey, today
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: is postseason baseball begins today. The wild card game, Red Sox, Yankees,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: actually tonight. So that's the end of summer. We're in
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the postseason now. The Knicks basketball, they're at, what do
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you call it? It's not spring training, fall training. They're
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: at training camp, the Knicks. The basketball season begins like
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: in three weeks. Hockey preseason already gone. You're really into
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the fall. It's really happening, I'm afraid. Hey, over there
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: at ABC News, they got Good Morning America. Now, apparently,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: they can't believe it. They've been number one, Good Morning America,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: for years. Number one morning show. That Gayle King show, CBS,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: always in last place, always a disaster. The Today Show,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: it used to be number one a billion years ago,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: but it's always Good Morning America. They're number one. Until now.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: The Today Show beat them for the season. The Today
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Show beat them. This has got everybody upset over at ABC.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Good morning, America. Lost to the Today Show. Now, you've
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: got to put a big asterisk on this because, remember,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: on the Today Show, this was a whole year of
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the Savannah Guthrie stuff, you know, where their mother vanished.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So that brought a lot of attention to the Today Show.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: That was a big help. Also, remember, NBC had the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Winter Olympics. They had the Super Bowl. That all gave
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a bounce, ratings bounce, to the Today Show. But they're
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: very upset at ABC over this Good Morning America, and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: they're thinking about, they're even talking about some changes. Because
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it was the first time they lost to the Today
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Show in 15 years. And they point out that the anchors,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: they got three big anchors, Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: George Stephanopoulos, or actually George Slopidopoulos. Now, They're never in
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the same place. They're never all there for the show.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It's one or the other. They're never together on the set.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: You got three big anchors who, by the way, are
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: getting 15 million each. And they're not there. Like if
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: one's there, the other one's not there. They're never all there. Why? Well,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: it turns out behind the scenes, they hate each other.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: They can't be in the same room. Now, you know,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the most important thing on one of these morning shows
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: are the anchors and the chemistry with the anchors. Well,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: these three hate each other's guts. They'll almost never be
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: on the set together. They'll almost never be in the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: same studio at the same time. Apparently, Robin Roberts jealous
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of Michael Strahan. Robin and George Slopidopoulos detest each other.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: They can't stand each other. So they're thinking of making
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: some changes also. These shows don't make the money they
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: used to make. They can't keep paying these people $ 15
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: million a year, especially when they're not winning anymore. So
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: expect to see some changes at Good Morning America. I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: don't understand the Sunday show. You ever see the Sunday
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: show on ABC? This week with George Stephanopoulos. Then they
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: cut to that old hag Martha Raddatz, or they cut
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to that Trump hater. What's his name? What's his name?
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Karl. It's those two rotating every week. How is
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it this week with George Stephanopoulos? He's only on once
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a year. Maybe twice a year he comes on. It's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: always this. Jonathan Karl or Martha Ratz, how do they
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: keep his name on this show? Apparently, over at ABC,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: how does he even keep his job? They got no
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: ratings on Sunday. How does he even keep this job? Well, apparently,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, at Disney, ABC, they think, they
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: still actually think, he's a very powerful, very connected Washington insider.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: With who? With who? His connection to Bill Clinton, who's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: in a nursing home now. I mean, all the people
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: he's connected with are way out of power. Who, Rahm Emanuel?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Who is he connected to? I don't know, but he's
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: got Disney, ABC fooled. Hey, the Russia-Ukraine war, it's going
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: so badly for Russia. You know, they can't get soldiers.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: They have to send troops to the war. Normally, it's
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Russian troops. Well, there's no such thing anymore. They've all
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: been wiped out. Now, listen to these numbers. In the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Russia-Ukraine war, Moscow has had 1.5 million casualties. That's 1.5
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: million of their soldiers wiped out on the battlefield casualties.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They've had 500,000 deaths, half a million deaths. You know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the U.S. in all of World War II, we only
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: lost 400,000. 500,000 deaths, 1.5 million casualties. Do you know
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: that Russia suffers 40,000 casualties every month? And they just
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: can't cover their losses. So they have no troops to
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: send from Russia. So what they're doing is they're recruiting foreigners.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: They're paying them $ 26, 000 to become cannon fodder in the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Ukraine war. And where do you find people who want
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to do this? Well, they go all over the world.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: They got a team of influencers, social media types. They're
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: on Facebook, TikTok, Telegram, preying on poor countries with poor,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: vulnerable people. who are either ideologically crazy or they just
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: desperately need money. So that's what Russia's doing now to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: get soldiers. Now, the problem is when you've got this
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: ragtag bunch of mercenaries you're paying, they don't fight very
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: well together. And that's the other problem. We were so
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: stunned when this war began. We've always thought Russia was
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: an incredible military superpower. We find out they barely have
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: any equipment. Their equipment is primitive. They don't even have
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: night vision equipment. They don't fight in formation on a battlefield.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: They don't have field commanders. They got a lot of
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: troops and a general. They don't have a lieutenant, a sergeant,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a colonel. They don't have any of that. So that's
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: why they lost so many generals, because if something goes
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: wrong in the battlefield, the general himself has to get
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: out of the tank and ends up getting killed. So
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: they say they're close in these negotiations, especially after UN week.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: But we'll see how long Russia can last. Hey, this Mamdani,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: this is quite an interesting scheme he's got. You remember
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: he went after Ken Griffin, the big CEO, stood outside
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of his $ 250 million apartment and tried to humiliate him? Well,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: apparently Mamdani wants to do this with all the big
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: New York CEOs. He got together his social media team,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: his influencer army, he calls them. He's got 200 of them.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And they're about to launch a smear campaign on all
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the New York CEOs. They're going to bash all the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: top CEOs. They're targeting certain ones specifically. Pfizer CEO, Albert Borta,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: not the greatest guy, but they're going to go after him.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: They're going to go after Jeff Blau, who's the CEO
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: of Related Companies. These are the people building Hudson Yards
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and all this stuff. They're targeting the big CEOs. Now,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: this will be interesting. If they really start to smear
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: them and go after them, hopefully, All of these CEOs
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: who could put together billions of dollars in a second
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: will counterattack, will launch an unbelievable media campaign against Mamdani.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's what Mamdani's counting on, thinking it'll help him
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: with his crazy base. But this is the most dangerous
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: thing Mamdani has ever attempted. Now, there's a thing called
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the Partnership of New York. It's a bunch of business leaders.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Remember that awful Kathy Wild ran this thing? They got
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: a new person running it. They threw her the hell out.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And they got former Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, who's
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: inexperienced at this. One thing about that, Kathy Welch, she
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: knew her way around. She knew how to play the system.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: But this guy's new. Apparently, he's a major target they're
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: going to go after. So this could be the most
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: dangerous thing Mamdani has ever attempted. Because most of these
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: CEOs are very careful with him. They don't like him,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: but they... publicly, you know, they're very careful. They, uh,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: they know they might need them, but you know, if
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you're building stuff or running a big business, you need, uh,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: okays for things and permits and all that. But, but, uh,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: this is, this is dangerous from mom down. He might, uh,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: wake up that sleeping tiger and, uh, uh, it could,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: it could wipe him out in the end. We hope, uh, anyway,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next 800-321-0710 is the number 800
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: 3-2-1-0-7-10.
