- 0:01Speaker 1: Now seventor presents no marks Emosha.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Well, I'm back, finally back. It's a long vacation. It
- 0:18Speaker 2: was like two and a half weeks, and I actually
- 0:21Speaker 2: love not working. I mean, I have a lot of
- 0:23Speaker 2: fun and plenty to do. But but that's enough vacation.
- 0:26Speaker 2: I can't take it anymore. It's good to be back.
- 0:28Speaker 2: I missed you. I hope you missed me, and Curtis
- 0:32Speaker 2: did a great job filling in. Everybody loved him. I
- 0:35Speaker 2: have not everybody. I would say it was ninety nine
- 0:37Speaker 2: percent favorable. All the comments and mail and everything we got.
- 0:41Speaker 2: People love Curtis and hopefully he'll be back here soon.
- 0:46Speaker 2: He did attack a few people there who are all
- 0:49Speaker 2: friends of mine, so but listen, he's got a right
- 0:53Speaker 2: to be a little upset with some people. But did
- 0:59Speaker 2: you notice I was listening here and there it is
- 1:02Speaker 2: he for two weeks. I don't think he had one
- 1:04Speaker 2: guest on, right. I think his wife was on once,
- 1:07Speaker 2: but that doesn't count. For two weeks, not a single guest.
- 1:11Speaker 2: That's impressive. That's a sign of a great host. You
- 1:13Speaker 2: can always tell how good a host is by how
- 1:15Speaker 2: many guests they have on. If they open the show
- 1:17Speaker 2: by telling you twenty seven guests that are coming on.
- 1:19Speaker 2: You know, it's not that great a host. They can't
- 1:21Speaker 2: fill the time on their own, their guest dependent. As
- 1:25Speaker 2: soon as the guest is done, our next guest is
- 1:27Speaker 2: they got to get somebody else. The guests have to
- 1:29Speaker 2: do all the talking. So you really got to be
- 1:32Speaker 2: good at this to do two hours, five days a
- 1:36Speaker 2: week and not have a guest on. So yeah, we
- 1:39Speaker 2: have guests on, but once an hour for a few minutes,
- 1:41Speaker 2: just to break it up a little. But we're not
- 1:43Speaker 2: you know, it's the whole first forty minutes of the hour,
- 1:45Speaker 2: there's no guests. We don't you don't want to be
- 1:47Speaker 2: guest dependent. By the way, coming up in our second hour,
- 1:51Speaker 2: our guest will be Rob Reiner. I found, you know,
- 1:56Speaker 2: he was a regular in the show for many years,
- 1:58Speaker 2: so I found a an interview or two of them,
- 2:01Speaker 2: but we'll play that in the second hour. It's interesting
- 2:03Speaker 2: to listen to him because I know he was crazy,
- 2:06Speaker 2: insane with his politics, angry, crazy, over the top nuts
- 2:10Speaker 2: with the politics. But it's interesting. He was a great
- 2:13Speaker 2: guy in real life. Here and I were friends. We
- 2:15Speaker 2: got along really well, and I never talked about politics,
- 2:17Speaker 2: So let me talk about we talk about Joey Bishop
- 2:20Speaker 2: or old show business or old comedians, but I just
- 2:23Speaker 2: you can hear the real hymn. We'll get to that
- 2:25Speaker 2: in the second hour. And it's a good lesson to
- 2:27Speaker 2: learn because you probably had the situation over the holidays
- 2:32Speaker 2: with your family at Christmas parties or whatever. Your uncle,
- 2:36Speaker 2: your cousin. They're great people, but when they talk about politics,
- 2:42Speaker 2: they're like childish, insane, crazy, nonsense, childish, ridiculous. You know,
- 2:48Speaker 2: this Maduro stuff is a great example. For the last
- 2:52Speaker 2: ten years, Democrats, all of them, Chuck Schumer, Biden, that idiot,
- 2:58Speaker 2: Chris Murphy from Canadack, all of them have been demanding
- 3:03Speaker 2: that somebody do something about Maduro, that they get rid
- 3:06Speaker 2: of Maduro. You know, in Trump's first term, all the
- 3:09Speaker 2: Democrats attacked him for not doing anything about Maduro. And
- 3:14Speaker 2: it's all over Twitter. You can see the videos, you
- 3:16Speaker 2: can see the statements from them. If you don't believe this,
- 3:19Speaker 2: they all went on camera on Twitter saying Trump is
- 3:23Speaker 2: obviously in bed with Putin because otherwise he'd be getting
- 3:27Speaker 2: rid of Maduro, who's Putin's puppet. They demanded that to
- 3:31Speaker 2: get rid of Maduro, Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, all of these people.
- 3:36Speaker 2: This video all over Twitter. You can watch them screaming
- 3:38Speaker 2: and yelling, gotta get rid of Madua. So Trump gets
- 3:42Speaker 2: rid of Maduro like that, they turn on a dime.
- 3:47Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. They're just going nuts defending Maduro. What happened
- 3:53Speaker 2: at No Kings Remember No Kings seventy seven days ago
- 3:56Speaker 2: there was no Kings. Well this one we like, you
- 3:59Speaker 2: shouldn't have gotten rid of this one. So it's absolutely insane behavior.
- 4:05Speaker 2: But it's really what it is, it's just being childish.
- 4:07Speaker 2: They're just like little children, screaming and yelling. Hey, you remember,
- 4:10Speaker 2: for the whole year that've been telling you over and
- 4:14Speaker 2: over and over and over and over again that Pete
- 4:17Speaker 2: Hexath is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense.
- 4:20Speaker 2: All of them, all the Democrats in politics, all the
- 4:24Speaker 2: Democrats on television, have been telling you he's the least
- 4:27Speaker 2: qualified secretary of Defense. Hexath is not qualified, He's the
- 4:31Speaker 2: most unqualified. Well, for the last year, he has flawlessly
- 4:36Speaker 2: executed the most complex military operations anybody ever has dozens
- 4:41Speaker 2: of them, from the bombing the Iran nuclear reactors to
- 4:45Speaker 2: the ticking out the drug boats, to the seizing the
- 4:48Speaker 2: oil tankers, to capturing a world leader in his bed
- 4:52Speaker 2: in the middle of the night and getting him out
- 4:53Speaker 2: of the country and doing the whole operation in three hours.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Not qualified. This guy has been unbelievable at the terry
- 5:01Speaker 2: operations he's run. Nobody's ever run these kind of operations.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Look at the last guy, Lloyd Austin, Biden's Secretary of Defense.
- 5:08Speaker 2: One operation just withdraw everybody from Afghanistan. Turned it into
- 5:13Speaker 2: a chaotic nightmare. He bungle it up so badly. Hexath
- 5:16Speaker 2: has been unbelievable. Now, of course the media stays quiet
- 5:21Speaker 2: about that. They don't mention a word about it. I
- 5:24Speaker 2: don't say anything about it at all. Now we got
- 5:28Speaker 2: the same thing with the Minnesota fraud, the Somali fraud
- 5:31Speaker 2: in Minnesota. It looks like it that number might hit
- 5:34Speaker 2: eighteen billion that's been missing. Tim Waltz just moments ago
- 5:38Speaker 2: announced he will not seek reelection. So if he had
- 5:41Speaker 2: any doubts about that Minnesota fraud being real, being more
- 5:47Speaker 2: extensive than we thought, if you had any doubts about
- 5:50Speaker 2: how big and how real that whole thing is, Tim
- 5:52Speaker 2: Waltz just announced he will step down from his campaign.
- 5:56Speaker 2: There will be no campaign. He will not seek re election. Now,
- 6:01Speaker 2: this is a guy who was definitely gonna run for
- 6:04Speaker 2: a reelection. He was on his way or in his
- 6:06Speaker 2: crazy brain to twenty twenty eight being candidate for president.
- 6:11Speaker 2: But his political career is now over. It's over. He
- 6:15Speaker 2: cannot seek reelection. He's admitted that he's dropping out of
- 6:19Speaker 2: the race. He is giving up politics. Hey, by the way,
- 6:22Speaker 2: keep an eye on Gavin Newsom. This affects him because
- 6:27Speaker 2: everybody says that as bad as this fraud is in Minnesota,
- 6:31Speaker 2: it's far worse and much much, much bigger in California.
- 6:36Speaker 2: So this will start to come out next and that
- 6:39Speaker 2: will be the end of Gavin Newsom's twenty twenty eight bid.
- 6:42Speaker 2: He's going to have a problem President Trump.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Can you imagine it's still eighteen billion Dallas. That's just
- 6:48Speaker 1: what we're learning about us in California's horse, Illinois's horse,
- 6:54Speaker 1: and Santitay, New York's horse.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Yeah, so wait till it get to California. That'll end Newsome.
- 6:59Speaker 2: And then if they find it in Illinois, well that's
- 7:02Speaker 2: the end of Pritzker. Now when he says New York is, Well,
- 7:08Speaker 2: that's because a mom, Donnie and all of this stuff.
- 7:10Speaker 2: You and ever you get a socialist or a left
- 7:13Speaker 2: wing kook like this, a Deblasio type, money goes missing.
- 7:16Speaker 2: It happens every time. While they yell and scream about
- 7:20Speaker 2: the billionaires, meantime, billions go sideways and no one quite
- 7:26Speaker 2: knows where it goes. You know, And you got the
- 7:28Speaker 2: most corrupt media ever in the Deblasio administration. A billion
- 7:32Speaker 2: dollars went missing in this fake program he and his
- 7:36Speaker 2: wife set up. It was called Thrive NYC. And it
- 7:39Speaker 2: was supposed to take care of the homeless and it
- 7:41Speaker 2: actually had this is not a joke. It had programs
- 7:44Speaker 2: like yoga for the homeless, that kind of stuff. Well,
- 7:47Speaker 2: a billion dollars went into it, and nobody knows where
- 7:49Speaker 2: it went, and it's gone. It's missing, And of course,
- 7:52Speaker 2: the totally corrupt media Channel two, Channel four, Channel five,
- 7:56Speaker 2: Channel seven, New York Times, all that corrupt media never
- 8:00Speaker 2: ever looked into it. Oh, they mentioned it for a second,
- 8:03Speaker 2: but they never looked into it. There should be reporters
- 8:06Speaker 2: all over the place tracking down that money, hunting for
- 8:09Speaker 2: that money. So whenever one of these left wing kooks
- 8:13Speaker 2: gets in one of these socialists, money goes missing. And
- 8:15Speaker 2: the other thing that happens is who suffers under them,
- 8:19Speaker 2: the homeless of the lower economic classes. They're the ones
- 8:23Speaker 2: that get hit the hardest by this nonsense. You know,
- 8:26Speaker 2: Venezuela is a great example. It was one of the
- 8:29Speaker 2: most booming economies in the world. It was thriving. It
- 8:32Speaker 2: has more oil than anybody on earth, just the oil revenue.
- 8:36Speaker 2: It was booming. Their economy was on fire. Everybody was
- 8:39Speaker 2: doing great in Venezuela. So they went socialist. When they
- 8:44Speaker 2: went socialist, when Chavez came in with his underling Maduro,
- 8:47Speaker 2: and then Maduro took over, they went socialist. Suddenly nobody
- 8:51Speaker 2: has any money, everybody's in poverty. That's what happens with socialists.
- 8:55Speaker 2: We look at them Poland it was just the opposite.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Under socialism, no money broke, the world's worst place to live.
- 9:01Speaker 2: Then they convert to capitalism, and now they're one of
- 9:05Speaker 2: the biggest economies in the world, huge economy, biggest Japan.
- 9:08Speaker 2: It's booming and everybody is living better, doing better. That's
- 9:12Speaker 2: what happens. So now the good news in New York
- 9:15Speaker 2: is Mom Donnie as nuts as he is, as terribly
- 9:17Speaker 2: as we don't know what he'll be able to get done.
- 9:20Speaker 2: If anything, a lot of people think it'll just be
- 9:24Speaker 2: the third term of Deblasio. Third Deblasio term. We got
- 9:28Speaker 2: through that. It wasn't good, but we got through it
- 9:30Speaker 2: to we'll get through this. He had his inauguration, as
- 9:37Speaker 2: it called it, a block party. It was a great
- 9:39Speaker 2: block party. But if you want to just take a
- 9:42Speaker 2: look at what exactly are his management skills, look at
- 9:46Speaker 2: the block party. It was considered the worst party ever thrown,
- 9:50Speaker 2: just as far as managing it, the worst setup ever.
- 9:54Speaker 2: The block party was held in like minus five degree weather.
- 10:00Speaker 2: I had fifty thousand people to stand there and there
- 10:03Speaker 2: were no food trucks, no food of any kind, no bathrooms,
- 10:06Speaker 2: no anything, and they were asked to wait. It started late.
- 10:10Speaker 2: It started like three hours late, so he had to
- 10:12Speaker 2: stand there. It was just horrendous. You know, you could
- 10:17Speaker 2: go to Times Square in New Year's even at least
- 10:18Speaker 2: there's a food truck every ten feet, there's a bathroom.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Well not a lot for that, but this was a nightmare,
- 10:25Speaker 2: an absolute nightmare. That's the way Mom Dannie runs things.
- 10:29Speaker 2: And of course the totally corrupt media gives him a
- 10:32Speaker 2: pass at all times, his anti Israel nonsense. He killed
- 10:36Speaker 2: some executive orders to protect Israel, protect people from being attacked,
- 10:43Speaker 2: anti Semitic attacks. He got rid of those. Now he
- 10:45Speaker 2: claims they'll replace him with somebody else, But who would
- 10:48Speaker 2: trust him on that? And he talks about the protecting Palestinians.
- 10:52Speaker 2: There's never been an attack on a Palestinian anywhere in
- 10:55Speaker 2: New York. The Palestinians have not been attacked. It doesn't exist.
- 11:00Speaker 2: Anti Semitic attacks by the thousands, vicious, violent ones all
- 11:03Speaker 2: over New York. That's where the protection is needed. He's
- 11:06Speaker 2: just crazy about this.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Protecting Jewish New Yorkers is going to be a focus
- 11:09Speaker 1: of my administration. And I also know that a number,
- 11:12Speaker 1: as you said, of leading Jewish organizations have immense concerns
- 11:16Speaker 1: around this definition. And so what we will do is
- 11:18Speaker 1: actually deliver on our commitment to protect Jewish New Yorkers
- 11:21Speaker 1: in a manner that is able to actually fulfill that.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Yeah, you go, Nobody's fatality said, but he speaks well.
- 11:28Speaker 2: And you know, if you talk really fast, if you
- 11:30Speaker 2: talk very fast, everybody think you must be very smart. Otherwise,
- 11:32Speaker 2: how could you talk that fast? But meantime, he's not
- 11:34Speaker 2: saying anything. And then this is the line that frightened
- 11:38Speaker 2: everybody when they say democratic socialist. Is he really a communist?
- 11:42Speaker 2: Is he? I mean? Does he want us to live
- 11:46Speaker 2: in like a communist a collective think? Well, listen to this.
- 11:49Speaker 1: We will draw this city closer together. We will replace
- 11:53Speaker 1: the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
- 11:58Speaker 1: If our campaign demonstrated that the people of New York
- 12:02Speaker 1: yearn for solidarity, then let this government foster it.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Well, if it wasn't real, it'd actually be pretty funny.
- 12:11Speaker 1: We will draw this city closer together. We will replace
- 12:15Speaker 1: the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Now, what the hell is he talking about? The rugged
- 12:22Speaker 2: individual individualism, the frigidity rugged individualism. I guess he's talking
- 12:29Speaker 2: about Warren Buffett or Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or frigidity.
- 12:37Speaker 2: I know they don't look cold that The last time
- 12:39Speaker 2: I saw Bezos he's on a yacht in Saint Barts.
- 12:41Speaker 2: He look pretty warm. The frigidity, But the warmth of collectivism. Well,
- 12:46Speaker 2: if you go look at people in the Soviet Union
- 12:48Speaker 2: when it was all socialists, they didn't look like they
- 12:51Speaker 2: were so warm. They looked they were freezing to death.
- 12:53Speaker 2: And they were waiting in line twenty seven hours for
- 12:55Speaker 2: toilet papers. So it didn't look warm to me. But anyway,
- 12:59Speaker 2: the now, it's interesting as far as capturing Maduro. If
- 13:03Speaker 2: you're not sure if it was a mistake not a mistake.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Look at who opposed it. It's the biggest idiots on
- 13:08Speaker 2: the world. Mam Donnie opposed it. Mam Donnie was totally
- 13:12Speaker 2: against it. Hokeel was against it, Schumer was against it,
- 13:16Speaker 2: Hakeem Jeffreys, Kamala Harris, Chris Murphy. Well, if they're against it,
- 13:20Speaker 2: then it must be the right thing to do. And
- 13:22Speaker 2: Mom Donnie calls President Trump to just voice his objection
- 13:28Speaker 2: to it. You got to give the guy credit. You
- 13:33Speaker 2: got to give Mam Donni credit for just out of controlled,
- 13:36Speaker 2: delusional ego thinking the President of the United States, Donald Trump,
- 13:40Speaker 2: wants his input on this tough foreign policy matter. As
- 13:45Speaker 2: if the President in the middle of those cabinet meetings,
- 13:48Speaker 2: listening to Hexith and Rubio and all those voices, said
- 13:52Speaker 2: to himself, I gotta know what Mam Donni thinks. So
- 13:55Speaker 2: Mam Donnie called him and Trump took the call. Trump's
- 13:58Speaker 2: very gracious in situations like that. And he took the call,
- 14:01Speaker 2: and he, you know, pretended listening very intently, but you know,
- 14:06Speaker 2: I guarantee he was rolling his eyes with everybody in
- 14:09Speaker 2: the room, holding the phone away from his head while
- 14:12Speaker 2: the guy yapped away. But Mondonnie was so proud that
- 14:14Speaker 2: he called Trump.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I called the President and spoke with him directly to
- 14:19Speaker 1: register my opposition to this act and to make clear
- 14:22Speaker 1: that it was an opposition based on being opposed to
- 14:27Speaker 1: a pursuit of regime change, to the violation of federal
- 14:31Speaker 1: international law, and a desire to see that be consistent each.
- 14:36Speaker 2: And every day. And what was his response to you?
- 14:39Speaker 2: A conversation and.
- 14:41Speaker 1: I knew I registered my opposition. I made it clear,
- 14:45Speaker 1: and we.
- 14:45Speaker 2: Left it that. There you go, waste of a phone call. Anyway, Well,
- 14:52Speaker 2: I'm back. We got a lot to get to today.
- 14:56Speaker 2: I did call Curtis by the way over the weekend
- 14:58Speaker 2: to thank him for filling in. He said he had
- 14:59Speaker 2: a lot of fun. He said he was really love
- 15:02Speaker 2: being here. He thanked all you guys in the control
- 15:05Speaker 2: room there, he said, great people to work with. I
- 15:11Speaker 2: got a ton of email about him and comments all
- 15:14Speaker 2: over the place, but it was I'd say ninety nine
- 15:17Speaker 2: percent favorable. People loved him so and I'm sure he'll
- 15:20Speaker 2: be back here doing all kinds of stuff here. And
- 15:24Speaker 2: let me just clear up one thing. He kept going
- 15:25Speaker 2: after my friend Greg Kelly. Greg Kelly and I are
- 15:28Speaker 2: very very close friends. And he said, Greg listens to
- 15:31Speaker 2: this show every day, you know, looking for things to take,
- 15:35Speaker 2: ideas to take, or points to take. Yeah, that's probably true,
- 15:38Speaker 2: but Curtis wasn't aware of which I called. I told
- 15:41Speaker 2: him I listened to Greg Kelly every day and I
- 15:43Speaker 2: take just as much stuff from his show. And he
- 15:46Speaker 2: and I are very good friends with In fact, we
- 15:48Speaker 2: talk on the phone at night. And said, you know,
- 15:50Speaker 2: he's got a lot of info, of sources, so sometimes
- 15:53Speaker 2: he'll give me stuff he got, I'll give stuff I got,
- 15:56Speaker 2: and then the next day you'll hear it on both shows.
- 15:58Speaker 2: But it's not anybody stealing from any buddy. We actually
- 16:01Speaker 2: collaborate on. I do that with a lot of hosts,
- 16:03Speaker 2: and a lot of people listen to this show every day.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Who hosts their own show. Sean Hannity told me he
- 16:08Speaker 2: listens every day. I know Buck is one of our listeners.
- 16:11Speaker 2: I was at a conference the other day and Chris
- 16:13Speaker 2: Ruddy was a chairman of Newsmax. As a speaker, they said,
- 16:16Speaker 2: what do you listen to when you get up in
- 16:18Speaker 2: the morning. He said, well, first I listened to Mark Simone.
- 16:20Speaker 2: I learn a lot about what's good to a lot
- 16:22Speaker 2: of people, a lot of hosts, a lot of media people,
- 16:24Speaker 2: and that's true of a million other shows. Hey, we'll
- 16:27Speaker 2: take some calls next. Let me know what you think.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Lots to
- 16:38Speaker 2: get to today right here on seven ten WR
