Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Now seor presents no Mark Simon Shaw. Well just wait,
- 0:16Speaker 1: hang on, just checking this breaking news here. John Bolton.
- 0:21Speaker 1: You know, he pled guilty to a couple of charges.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Apparently there's more charges and this just breaking. Bolton will
- 0:28Speaker 1: plead guilty to them too. Bolton will plead guilty to everything.
- 0:33Speaker 1: You know why, because he's guilty of everything. And you
- 0:37Speaker 1: remember all your left wing crazies, all your left wing commentators,
- 0:42Speaker 1: all your fake news kept telling you that the charges
- 0:45Speaker 1: against Bolton, why it was just drummed up Trump going
- 0:48Speaker 1: after a political enemy. What was law fair? Just phony
- 0:52Speaker 1: charges to target a political opponent. Well, no, they were
- 0:56Speaker 1: all pretty accurate. They were all totally accurate because Bolton
- 1:00Speaker 1: has agreed to plead guilty to all of them. Reason
- 1:03Speaker 1: you plead guilty is after you've worked with your lawyers
- 1:06Speaker 1: for a while and they tell you there is absolutely
- 1:09Speaker 1: no way to beat these charges. You're going to get convicted,
- 1:11Speaker 1: So you plead guilty, you know, save the expense of
- 1:15Speaker 1: a trial for the state, and then they give you
- 1:17Speaker 1: a little lighter sentence. So I don't know if he'll
- 1:20Speaker 1: go to jail. You know, they could come up with
- 1:22Speaker 1: all kinds of other things that there was already a
- 1:24Speaker 1: massive fine on him, but Bolton to plead guilty. It's
- 1:30Speaker 1: going to be a kind of a tough weekend. It's Friday,
- 1:33Speaker 1: already tough weekend for the fake news, especially the Sunday shows.
- 1:36Speaker 1: They're looking for things to attack President Trump over straight. Oh,
- 1:40Speaker 1: Hormos has been pretty much open for the last few weeks.
- 1:43Speaker 1: So there was a shooting at a ship was targeted.
- 1:47Speaker 1: That's one ship, but meantime, you know, forty or fifty
- 1:50Speaker 1: been coming through, so they'll use that. It's not that exciting.
- 1:57Speaker 1: So I think they're going to be down to the
- 2:00Speaker 1: Reflecting Pool. That's going to be like a big issue,
- 2:03Speaker 1: you know, every Sunday morning, of course all day long
- 2:06Speaker 1: on CNN and MSN, NBC. They got to attack him
- 2:09Speaker 1: day and night. But the Sunday shows have got to
- 2:10Speaker 1: come up with some real attacks, and it's going to
- 2:15Speaker 1: be reflecting pool kind of stuff. You know, to most Americans,
- 2:17Speaker 1: they're really not concerned that there was some algae in
- 2:20Speaker 1: a pool in Washington, d C. The Reflecting Pool is
- 2:24Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful monument. But during the
- 2:27Speaker 1: Obama Biden years, it was total disaster. It was absolute shambles,
- 2:34Speaker 1: a total mess. It was all dirty and filthy and discussing.
- 2:38Speaker 1: That's why President Trump decided to fix it. But for
- 2:41Speaker 1: all those years that it was totally totally crumbling, decaying,
- 2:45Speaker 1: no coverage of it, all, no mention of it. And
- 2:48Speaker 1: now they're going after President Trump left and right now,
- 2:50Speaker 1: trying to make it look like he doesn't know what
- 2:52Speaker 1: he's doing. Do you realize the odds of this? What
- 2:54Speaker 1: a coincidence is this? At the time the pool needs fixing,
- 2:58Speaker 1: you happen to have a president in the world Whitehouse
- 3:01Speaker 1: who was an expert on building swimming pools. He's built
- 3:04Speaker 1: about four hundred of them in his lifetime all over
- 3:07Speaker 1: the world. There are the odds of that when you
- 3:09Speaker 1: need it fixed, the guy in office is a swimming
- 3:13Speaker 1: pool builder for years, for forty years, he's been building
- 3:16Speaker 1: swimming pools. He knows all the best swimming pool companies,
- 3:19Speaker 1: and when it comes to building stuff, he's very hands on.
- 3:22Speaker 1: He knows every detail of everything. So he's built plenty
- 3:25Speaker 1: of pools. Now, you got the It was at the
- 3:27Speaker 1: New York Times the other day. The apparently the reporter
- 3:30Speaker 1: stuck a cup in there and got a cupful of
- 3:33Speaker 1: water out of that pool, and they said, we took
- 3:35Speaker 1: it to a swimming pool company, a pool company, and
- 3:39Speaker 1: they analyzed it for us, and they said it's not
- 3:41Speaker 1: the proper pH level, like they even know what they're doing.
- 3:44Speaker 1: And who knows what pool company they found. You know,
- 3:48Speaker 1: those Sunday shows always have Hakeem Jeffries on, and Schumer
- 3:53Speaker 1: tries to get on him. They don't like to have
- 3:55Speaker 1: him on too much because he's so decrepit looking. But
- 3:58Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries is on every and he's attacking the president
- 4:01Speaker 1: left and right. Now here's the problem for these guys,
- 4:04Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries. I don't know where he really stands. He
- 4:08Speaker 1: pretends to be a huge Trump hater. He pretends to
- 4:12Speaker 1: be a far left Trump derangement syndrome lunatic. But I
- 4:17Speaker 1: think it's kind of an act. You know, he stands
- 4:19Speaker 1: there very robotic and recites memorized stuff. Schumer, you know,
- 4:22Speaker 1: is a complete phony. Schumer doesn't believe in anything. Nothing.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Schumer just pandering to the crowd, cheap hustling, pandering, fake politician,
- 4:34Speaker 1: reading those index cards. Every word out of his mouth
- 4:37Speaker 1: was written by a bunch of staffers. Even anything they
- 4:40Speaker 1: put in front of him. He's reading, so he's totally inauthentic. Now,
- 4:44Speaker 1: the problem is today's young Democrats, these crazy Mom Donnie
- 4:50Speaker 1: voting aoc loving, these kind of crazy socialist left wing Democrats.
- 4:56Speaker 1: The one thing they want is authenticity. They want a
- 5:00Speaker 1: lot of crazy stuff, but they want their crazies to
- 5:02Speaker 1: be authentic. And you look at a guy like Mom Donnie,
- 5:05Speaker 1: he looks authentic, he looks like he really believes this nonsense. Schumer,
- 5:11Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries pretend that they believe it. But it's not
- 5:14Speaker 1: fooling these younger people. They know these are old fossils
- 5:17Speaker 1: just pretending. So they're now calling. In fact, most of
- 5:21Speaker 1: the new breed of Democrats in the Congress are now
- 5:25Speaker 1: calling for new leadership. Democrats calling for Hakim Jeffries to
- 5:29Speaker 1: be out as the leader, calling for Schumer to be
- 5:32Speaker 1: out as the leader. They want to get some real, actual,
- 5:36Speaker 1: authentic people to lead them. Now here's a good example
- 5:40Speaker 1: of a totally inauthentic Kathy Hochel. Now she was put
- 5:45Speaker 1: in there by Andrew Cuomo. Another horrible thing Cuomo did
- 5:48Speaker 1: to New York. Besides all the terrible things he did,
- 5:51Speaker 1: the no crime, no bail, no jail, you know, the
- 5:54Speaker 1: closing the prisons, closing Indian Point, all the horrible things
- 5:57Speaker 1: he did. He gave us Kathy Hochel, who it's just
- 6:00Speaker 1: a total, mediocre nothing governor who just panders and plays along.
- 6:06Speaker 1: She's trying to pretend. Now she's a left wing democrat, socialist,
- 6:12Speaker 1: but totally inauthentic. Nobody believes anything shows looks like a
- 6:17Speaker 1: looks like one of those real estate women in the suburbs,
- 6:19Speaker 1: you know, nail pounding the sign into the ground in
- 6:21Speaker 1: front of the house, one of those one of those
- 6:24Speaker 1: real estate agents you don't trust. She's got that look
- 6:26Speaker 1: about her. But just to show you how inauthentic she is,
- 6:31Speaker 1: Buffalo the game. She's trying to start pretending she's a
- 6:36Speaker 1: fan of Buffalo. She's not a sports fan at all.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Remember she pretended she's a football fan. She pretends she's
- 6:44Speaker 1: a soccer fan. So she's trying to lead the crowd
- 6:47Speaker 1: in a chance. She's trying to get the crowd to
- 6:49Speaker 1: cheer for Buffalo. They're not buying it. They know she's
- 6:52Speaker 1: a phony, fake fraud. They're not nobody's chanting along with it.
- 6:55Speaker 1: This is the most pathetic thing ever listened to this.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Let's get this parties are let's go, Let's go Buffalo.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Let's go Buffalo. Let's go Buffalo.
- 7:08Speaker 1: All right?
- 7:08Speaker 2: Seriously, you want you want? You gonna win a championship
- 7:11Speaker 2: season with that kind of enthusiasm. Men and women of labor,
- 7:15Speaker 2: you know what I'm talking about. Let's go Buffalo. Let's
- 7:18Speaker 2: go Buffalo. All we gotta get his play some good karma.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Right, nobody's chatting with it. At the end. You hear
- 7:25Speaker 1: a few, but that's your staff. It's pathetic.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Let's get this party star, Let's go. Let's go Buffalo.
- 7:34Speaker 2: Let's go Buffalo. Let's go Buffalo, all right. Seriously.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't like you, they don't trust you, they
- 7:41Speaker 1: don't believe you. They think you're a fake, a phony affront.
- 7:45Speaker 1: So Bruce Blakeman, I think he's got a hell of
- 7:48Speaker 1: a good chance. We'll get the best poster in the
- 7:50Speaker 1: world coming up later in the show. We'll get some
- 7:52Speaker 1: some real intel on that Bruce Blakeman should be the governor.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Vote for him in November. Bruce Blakeman and the only
- 8:02Speaker 1: thing I can save this. Also, you need a real
- 8:05Speaker 1: solid guy like that to stand up to mom Donnie,
- 8:07Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg, all that stuff. Hey, by the way, next week,
- 8:12Speaker 1: fourth of July next it's hard to believe it's the
- 8:14Speaker 1: fourth of July. Next week, next weekend, so a week
- 8:20Speaker 1: from today that would be July third, and a week
- 8:23Speaker 1: from yesterday. So coming up this coming week Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
- 8:31Speaker 1: Taylor Swift takes over Madison Square Garden. Apparently this is
- 8:34Speaker 1: gonna be a three day thing and it's gonna disrupt everything.
- 8:38Speaker 1: They're talking. They got the permits filed for street closures,
- 8:41Speaker 1: just like with the Knicks games closing Madison Square Garden
- 8:45Speaker 1: and the surrounding blocks. It's going to be a disaster
- 8:48Speaker 1: for traffic. And if you're trying to get to Penn Station,
- 8:50Speaker 1: I don't know how that's gonna work. But apparently here's
- 8:54Speaker 1: the deal. On July second, she's gonna get married to
- 8:59Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. It's gonna they're describing it as an intimate
- 9:03Speaker 1: ceremony and you're saying intimate Madison Square Garden. Well, apparently
- 9:07Speaker 1: it's only going to be one hundred people family, one
- 9:09Speaker 1: hundred people just family for the intimate wedding that's on
- 9:13Speaker 1: July second. Then on July third, the next day, that'll
- 9:17Speaker 1: be a week from today, Friday, they're going to do
- 9:20Speaker 1: a party for two thousand people. That'll be in Madison
- 9:23Speaker 1: Square Garden, which holds like twenty five thousand people, So
- 9:27Speaker 1: it's gonna feel intimate in the garden. But that'll be
- 9:29Speaker 1: about two thousand people. But they've filed permits for street
- 9:34Speaker 1: closures for all sorts of stuff. In fact, i'd be
- 9:36Speaker 1: closing an entire block to set just to set up
- 9:39Speaker 1: a tent outside Madison Square Garden. I assume the tent
- 9:44Speaker 1: is to check people in. You'll pull up and go
- 9:47Speaker 1: into the tent, which will be closed. That way, nobody
- 9:49Speaker 1: can see in, people can't take pictures. So just remember
- 9:53Speaker 1: if you're trying to get anywhere near the garden, penn station,
- 9:55Speaker 1: or anything. Next Thursday, Friday, Saturday, it's gonna be a disaster.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Next week is fourth of July, and it's more than that.
- 10:07Speaker 1: It's the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of America. It'll
- 10:10Speaker 1: be celebrating America, the flag, our country. So be nice
- 10:15Speaker 1: to your liberal friends. It's going to be a very
- 10:17Speaker 1: tough week for them. They don't like this, they don't
- 10:20Speaker 1: like celebrating America. They don't like the fireworks. They don't
- 10:25Speaker 1: like any of this. It's gonna be a very, very
- 10:27Speaker 1: upsetting week for them. And if you have Apple products,
- 10:31Speaker 1: if you're like me and you'll love Apple, and you
- 10:34Speaker 1: got an Apple iPhone, you got an iPad, you got
- 10:37Speaker 1: a Mac, and you know, coming into the time of
- 10:40Speaker 1: year where the new stuff comes out, there's going to
- 10:43Speaker 1: be a huge price increase. Apple price increase up to
- 10:46Speaker 1: five hundred dollars increase on some things. They're having a
- 10:50Speaker 1: big problem getting chips now. The problem is AI uses
- 10:54Speaker 1: up all these memory chips and all these chips that
- 10:57Speaker 1: they need, and normally Apple doesn't have to worry about
- 11:02Speaker 1: that stuff. Apple is such a big buyer. They have
- 11:05Speaker 1: such incredible buying power that they're always first in line
- 11:09Speaker 1: and even when there's a shortage, they can always get
- 11:11Speaker 1: the stuff before anybody else. Well, that's all changed. The big, big,
- 11:15Speaker 1: big AI companies buy so much of this stuff, much
- 11:18Speaker 1: more than Apple. They got more buying power than Apple.
- 11:21Speaker 1: So Apple has gone to the back of the line,
- 11:23Speaker 1: having trouble keeping that supply chain, going, having trouble getting
- 11:28Speaker 1: the stuff they need. So it's going to be a
- 11:31Speaker 1: different era. Apple stock dropping a bit because it's again
- 11:35Speaker 1: a whole different world for them hanging. I'm looking for
- 11:39Speaker 1: the price of oil, just talking about price increases. You know,
- 11:43Speaker 1: with things settling down in Iran, stock market is way up.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Uh oh. If you're a Democrat, you might want to
- 11:51Speaker 1: turn off the radio for a minute, not going to
- 11:53Speaker 1: want to hear this. Oil is back down in the sixties,
- 11:58Speaker 1: sixty nine dollars a barrel. It's pre Iran war price
- 12:02Speaker 1: sixty nine dollars a barrel. Average gas price is down
- 12:06Speaker 1: to about three dollars eighty five cents. Now, you got
- 12:09Speaker 1: to remember when things are settled in the strait is
- 12:12Speaker 1: open and the oil is flowing. Price of oil it's
- 12:15Speaker 1: a commodity, you know, the barrels of oil, that's a commodity,
- 12:19Speaker 1: So that drops immediately. But for to get to the pump,
- 12:23Speaker 1: the gas pumps where for the price coming, that's a
- 12:25Speaker 1: delay that lags by a couple of weeks. So it
- 12:29Speaker 1: might even happen next week. You may see it down
- 12:31Speaker 1: to three point fifty a gallon by next week. But
- 12:34Speaker 1: oil for the first time back in the sixties, it's
- 12:37Speaker 1: sixty nine dollars right now. Price of oil way down.
- 12:42Speaker 1: And if you're a Democrat, you can turn your radio
- 12:44Speaker 1: back on. We didn't want to upset you with that.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Sorry about that. Mets fired their manager, Okay, I mean
- 12:52Speaker 1: somebody's got to take the blame. It's a bad season.
- 12:55Speaker 1: The problem is you get these guys like Steve Cohen
- 12:59Speaker 1: who make billions, billions, so many billions in a hedge fund.
- 13:04Speaker 1: What are you doing a hedge fund? You got to
- 13:06Speaker 1: know what stocks to buy and trade, commodities stocks, You
- 13:09Speaker 1: got to know all kinds of financial stuff. So guys
- 13:13Speaker 1: like this think, well, if I did that, I know
- 13:14Speaker 1: how to run anything. But just because you know how
- 13:16Speaker 1: to trade stock doesn't mean you know anything about how
- 13:19Speaker 1: to run a baseball team. And that's the problem. So
- 13:21Speaker 1: it's not just Tim. You get a lot of owners
- 13:23Speaker 1: like this. He's not the worst, you know, Woody Johnson
- 13:26Speaker 1: has set the all time record worst owner in the
- 13:28Speaker 1: history of sports. Totally destroyed the New York Jets, absolutely
- 13:34Speaker 1: destroyed it. And it's fascinating to watch these guys because normally,
- 13:40Speaker 1: if you started doing something and you were really bad
- 13:44Speaker 1: at it and you kept losing and it was awful,
- 13:47Speaker 1: you might after a while, after a couple of years,
- 13:49Speaker 1: if you're Woody Johnson, say, you know, I don't know
- 13:52Speaker 1: what the hell I'm doing. I better get out of
- 13:53Speaker 1: this or hand this over to somebody who does. But
- 13:57Speaker 1: if you're a multi billionaire just over confident, you think
- 14:01Speaker 1: I'll figure it out. So now you go. Don't remember
- 14:05Speaker 1: one thing about George Steinbrenner, and everybody forgets about this
- 14:09Speaker 1: little piece of the puzzle. He was very successful at this,
- 14:12Speaker 1: but the reason is he didn't do anything else for
- 14:16Speaker 1: a living. You know, all these guys do something else
- 14:18Speaker 1: for a living. They run massive businesses, empires all day long.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Every owner of every baseball team does something else for
- 14:26Speaker 1: a living. All day long, they work on it, and
- 14:28Speaker 1: then about four o'clock in the afternoon, for the last
- 14:31Speaker 1: hour of the day, then the baseball people come in
- 14:33Speaker 1: and they go over the baseball stuff for an hour
- 14:36Speaker 1: a day. Steinbrenner was in the shipping business when he
- 14:39Speaker 1: bought the Yankees, but a couple of years into the Yankees,
- 14:42Speaker 1: he sold off the business, sold the shipping business off,
- 14:45Speaker 1: he had other businesses, turned him over to his sons.
- 14:48Speaker 1: So then for the rest of all those decades he
- 14:51Speaker 1: did nothing else except nine ten hours a day worked
- 14:55Speaker 1: on baseball, nothing else, just that. So that's the problem.
- 14:59Speaker 1: If you're Steve Cohne or somebody else, you're going to
- 15:01Speaker 1: have to give up everything else, immerse yourself into baseball,
- 15:05Speaker 1: do nothing but meet with baseball experts all day and night,
- 15:08Speaker 1: and get yourself a little more educated. Hey, we'll take
- 15:11Speaker 1: some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
- 15:15Speaker 1: ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero
- 15:19Speaker 1: seven ten,
