• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Joan Hambrick, Pat Hamburg, Hamburg Hamburg. Sorry, it's okay. Who's Hambrick?

  Speaker 1: the producer of the Mark Simone Show. But Natalie is
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: out today and tomorrow. We're going to get into it
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: momentarily because this is something that affects a lot of Americans.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Fifty five plus could affect you, Larry, could affect me.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Not Chris. He's a young huckleberry. But Chris, welcome aboard
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: today tomorrow. You did a great job the last time
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you had a substitute for Natalie.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: We just never heard from him the last time. Yeah, no, no,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: he likes to work in the shadows.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Well, with March Simone, you are in the shadow.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no doubt about no doubt about it. But
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in preparing for Natalie, she's gonna be away. She's going
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: through what so many of us fifty five plus go through.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Number one problem for those who are fifty five plus
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: larry back pain. Oh, so many people in America back pain.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: In fact, isn't it ironic? My number one enemy is
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Andrew Evilized Cuomo. But his father, Mario Cuomo, was our
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: number one supporter for the Guardian Angels language Lieutenant governor.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: And I would go up to Albany and he would
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: give these great presentations, and I'd sit in his office
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: there had a special chair, and I'd also ask him,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: how come you never go out of state? You know
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: everybody else is going out of state. They're making presentations.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: You know you're a great orator. He goes, I gotta
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: tell you, I gotta be back in his chair. I
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: gotta be in my on my match especially made this
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is in the seventies, remember late seventies, early eighties. I
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: have incredible back pain. And Americans are plagued by back
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: pain more than any other pain. There would be considered
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: chronic pain. And to live with that, imagine morning, noon,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and night when no relief, no matter how you turn
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: in your chair and your bed, can't sleep all those problems,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: but the number two problem for chronic paint knees. And
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: that's what Natalie is facing now. She's been running around
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: for years, like you mentioned, for the gamblings for Joan Hamburg,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: given for Mark Simone. She's always been ready here to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: do whatever was required of her as the number one,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I would say, number one producer in the total business
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of ours, this thing of ours, and I've done I've
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: dealt with a lot of them over the years.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: But she if you.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Notice of late at times, she'll be walking around and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: then all of us, Oh, you could see that grimace
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: on her face, pain, what's wrong that my knees?
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: My knees.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, we were walking back. One day I was actually
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: behind her from the parking garage to get in here.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: And one day she actually had to go down to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the ground because her knee was so bad. And do
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you know that there was a guy that was a
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: doorman in one of the hotels that saw her and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: ran out with a cane and gave it to her
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: so she could make it to work. He said, look,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: people leave these behind in the rooms all the time,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: so don't worry about it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Just keep it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Here's a cane. This, I hope will help you. And
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: that's how she made it in that's how bad it
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: is though too.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and then you have to live with it
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: because you know, at any moment it could be normal
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for a while and then at any moment.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Have you had these backer knee pain? Actually my knees.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: You saw me on that iheartflowed forget pride right man.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: People were saying, for a seventy two.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Year old guy, you're twerking you going down, Your knees
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: must be in good shape. Never had the knee problem,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: never had the back problem. I'll get into a momentarily
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to show the problem. Oh, I don't know, my but
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: most people's knee problems are the results of cartilage in
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the joints wearing out.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Because those are like your shock absorbers.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Now you can go to the mechanic right to fix
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it shop and they put in new shock absorbers. Problem is,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: when your cartilage wears out, you have a number of options.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: And one of them could be knee replacement.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You know where I first learned about this actually was
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Tom Cuddy was he programmed director over at WPLJ when
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: WABC was right next to it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: We would walk back and forth.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I walk into Scott Shannon's office number one in the morning,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: war none, you know, I mean, we're talking super Hall
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: of Fame. I always knew he loved to play golf,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and he couldn't play golf for a while, which made
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: him very angry. Then all of a sudden, he's playing
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: golf again. I said, Scott, Scott, how are you playing golf?
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: You said at times you were hobbling, you were in
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: such incredible pain. And then he points to his knees
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: and he goes, I got titanium knees, ty tum knees.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: And then naturally, my next question is how do you
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: get through the metal detector?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: And did he say what?
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Hell?
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, he felt so great he was golfine.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Again, did he say, hell, I got through the medal?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Probably because he was caught, Shannon. I didn't want to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: push it too far.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: But I have seen people in incredible pain, and obviously
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we hope the best finatal least. You're going through some
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: testing now, but there are so many people with a
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: knee pain syndrome, and it's something you can't be off
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: your feet unless you're in obviously a wheelchair.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never had back problems, never in my whole life.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: And somebody told me when I was very young that
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the way to avoid back problems is your abdomens. You
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: do sit ups, make sure your abdomens are strong, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that's gonna help.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Some crunches. Yeah, crunches. I do them every night. I
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: do them. I've done them every single night of my life.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: It didn't help with the fat I'm getting, but it
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: does help the abdomen stay strong underneath underneath this, there's
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: some StrEG thunder there. But I did have my knees
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: go out, but that's when I played basketball. I had
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: it locked up one time at a point where I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: had to sit down on the floor while it was
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: actually locked.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Well, you know nowadays with all the sports doctors, they
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: can say, well we got to check, you know, maybe
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a tear of the meniscus. You notice how all of
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a sudden we learned what the meniscus says because of ESPN.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: That's that crushing shaped piece of cartilage that absorbs the shock.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: So if that, if that all of a sudden wears
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the way, you got nothing to absorb the shock or
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the other one. When they show you the diagrams, of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: this NFL play, who's out for the season.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, he popped his ACL? What is a pop acl?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And then I realized it's those four major rope like ligaments.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: They're really attached the knee and if you pop out
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: one of them and all of a sudden, you have
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to have it replaced a sawn up.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: They never had this. I remember Mickey manno had any problems.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: You know what.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: He used booze because he was an alcoholic. He would
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: go after after playing baseball, he'd be in that pool
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that they use, I forget what they whirlpool, and then
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: he would have the ace bandage.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: So I thought for years the ace bandage.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Was that's just trying to limit the extent of how
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: much you bend your knee. I'll tell you what. I
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: had a bad shoulder one time, and I had a
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: bad knee. courtA zone shot. That's the most amazing thing
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: in the entire world. I'm sure that some of the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: people listening have had a quarter zone shot, but it's incredible.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: So I couldn't. I couldn't been my knee. As I
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: told you, it really hurt. I go in.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: All they did was, as a matter of fact, I
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: went to a hospital and the doctor was taking around
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: some interns and some medical students with him. So I
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: had about I had about thirty people show up as
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting on the table and they walked up and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: he's talking to them, He's not talking to me. Takes
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: a needle, sticks it at my knee. They walk on.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: That's it. I'm done, and so you great. You had
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: no problems there after?
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was like the day after the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: day after it was better. My shoulder too, same way
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I could, I couldn't move it. They put Cortison on
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: my shoulder. It was fun. So that was like miracle
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: drug d W forty oil right for rushed exactly. That's
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: exactly what it was.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: It could have been much cheaper for me. Now my
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: shoulders have created problems. I had a shredded rotator cuff.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Not like when the rotator cuff completely goes.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: It's shredded, so it's still there, but it's like barely
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: hanging on. Naturally, surgeons know only one thing, cut, cut, cut,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: do surgery. So I met this guy in New York
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: who used stem cell therapy illegal in New York, illegally
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: illegal in almost every state in the nation, except I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: think in Texas they do it because naturally the American
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Medical Association, if they find out that your own stem
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: cells that he took out of my back and then
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: cleaned them up and injected them into the inflamed area
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: up here in the show was successful, they wouldn't be
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: doing all these surgeries, so they blocked it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: It worked.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Not when I got the shot right into the affected area,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it hurt like hell. For a day, I thought I
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: made the biggest mistake in my life. Within a day
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and a half, two days, I'm lifting my arm over
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: my head. It was incredible. And then Tiss James hit
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the guy, put him out of business. Suit him for
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: every nickel diamond penny. You can't too. You know stem
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: cells there, remember, because of your case, no other cases,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: but these are not the stem cells at are controversial.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: You know from a baby's placenta and all that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: You know, Oh no, no, your own stem cells. What
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: it is?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: He explained it so well, He goes, you got stem
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: cells in every part of your body, and if you
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: put them on a troop carrier, like when I clean
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: them up, I take them out and I inject them
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: into the affected area.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: They go right to work to deal with the.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Inflammation because information causes most chronic pain, no matter what
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the problem is. And boy did it worked for me.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Now I think other than Texas, you have to go overseas,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: which is so ridiculous to at least have that as
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: an option to chronic pain.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Well, we should definitely get some talkbacks per teams.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Curtis Leewa and Larry MENTI in the morning.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: On sevent ten, woor.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Well, so much news coming out of Washington, d C.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Right now, tops of which is probably when President Trump
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: said yesterday that we're going to have a deal we
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: think either today or tomorrow with a run. Now, I
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: know we've heard that before, but you know, when he
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: gives date specific, it's a little bit more interesting.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: So let's get.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Right to John Decker, wor White House and Washington correspondent
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: and host of the podcast The White House Briefing Room
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: with John Decker, which could be found on the iHeartRadio app.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: You know, John, as I said, I know we've been
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: here before, but I did perk up when he said
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I think we may have a deal by today or tomorrow.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Today would be tomorrow. Now, is there any any signs
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: that were close to a deal.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Well, keep in mind, the US is not involved in
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: these negotiations. It's negotiators from Iran, Larry and also Oman,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: and the deal would only involve reopening the Strait of Hormos.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: It wouldn't involve anything related to Iran's nuclear program. Those
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: talks have gone on for several days. We could see
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: an announcement, as you point out, as early as today,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: and that would be a good thing in terms of
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: reopening the Strait of Hormuz, allowing cargo ships, oil tankers
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: to get through and to get through without having to
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: pay any fees or tolls. That is also one of
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: the requirements that President Trump has spoken about when speaking
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: about a deal to reopen the strait.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: John Dekker, is Janine Piro still the US Attorney for
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: the Capital as far as I know she is.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: She's not in a good place right now in Donald
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Trump's world. And that's because, as you know, Curtis, the
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: US Attorney's Office has dropped not one but several case
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: against individuals who were originally charged with vandalizing the reflecting pool.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: In court filings, the US Attorney's Office now says that
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: the damage caused to the reflecting pool was not caused
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: by vandals or vandalism. It was caused by shoddy work
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: by the contractor. Now President Trump disagrees with that conclusion,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: and he's made his feelings known, both publicly and privately.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: The President has known Jeanine Piro for quite some time,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: and it would be pretty remarkable, Curtis, if the President
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: decided to remove her from her position.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, This midterm election is now fascinating
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and we haven't even got to the general election. We're
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: not out of a summer just yet. But I mean,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the list of scandals and crimes and big stories and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: some heartbreaking stories from all of these congressmen, sitting congressmen,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: or people running for office is getting to the point
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: where it's mind blowing. I mean, I don't remember a
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: time covering politics where I've heard this many congressmen and
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: or people running for Congress having these kind of problems. John,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: what sticks out.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: To you, Well, there have been scandals. There have been
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: scandals in every part of the country California, Swallwell, Max Miller, Ohio,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: North Carolina, Texas, and all of them have led to
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: members of Congress deciding not to run for another term
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: because of the scandal that has engulfed them all, with
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: the exception of Max Miller, he will be on the ballot.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: That could be problematic. He comes from one of those
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: swing districts in Ohio, so we'll see what happens with
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: his seat. Every seat matters, Larry and Curtis, as you know,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: because of the very tight margin that Republicans have right
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: now in the House of Representatives, so.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I count it as three Republicans. We obviously, as you mentioned,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the Miller case is and rightfully show connering the majority
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: of the attention. But I noticed in North Carolina that
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Republican congressman finally decided to stand down. He was being
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: accused of harassing sexually harassing two of his staff members,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: female staff members. But then there is the Republican congressman
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: who stood last night for his only Republican debate, is
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: still in the primary process. He got it hammered, not
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: just in terms of the allegations that he's guilty of
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: domestic abuse, but one of his adversaries said, oh, I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: understand you married your wife in a mosque and you
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: converted to the Muslim faith. And he stood up and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: he said would you like me to do the Lord's
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: prayer to you right now to prove to you that
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not a Muslim and that I was not married
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: in a mosque. That's how some crazy this whole campaign
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: process has become.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Well, it has.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: It's a very interesting time that we're in, you know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: when you have these kinds of very personal attacks. You
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: just mentioned one that happened in a debate in the
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: past twenty four hours. The debate that I attended earlier
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: this week in South Carolina Republican primary debate was pretty
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: tame compared to what you just described happening last night
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: in that debate. But it's almost this season where you're
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: going to see more of these debates. We'll see more
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: of them after Labor Day. And we know that the
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Democratic nominee who just won his nomination after a very
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: tough fight in Michigan, he has put on the table
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: five debates with his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers. So we'll
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: see if that comes to pass.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: So is Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's former personal attorney going
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: to be the US Attorney general or not.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I think it's up to really a
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: handful of Republican senators who have not yet said how
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: they will vote on the Senate floor. We know that
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Susan Collins is a no. And because Susan Collins is
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: a no, John Fetterman is a no as well. We
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: know that Todd Lanch can only afford to lose two
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: other Republican votes before it becomes problematic for him in
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: terms of winning confirmation as the next Attorney General. I
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: think I'll make it. You know that this is really
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: important to the President, and typically on these types of votes,
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: those Republicans that are on the fence typically cave and
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: give in to what the President wants.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: John Dekker, That vote is supposed to take place tomorrow, Friday,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: before the United States Senate. What about Mitch McConnell. He's
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: nobody's seen him, nobody's heard from him, other than that
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: picture that was in the Washington Post and him propped
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: up in the bed with his wife next to his side.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Might this require, if in fact, the numbers don't play
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: out for the President, that they wheel him in in
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: a wheelchair and he does a McCain you know, thumbs
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: up with thumbs down.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Possibly, but I don't think his health is good enough
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: even for that scenario that you just described, Curtis, you know,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: I think that you know, he really is in a
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: place right now where he can't make it back to Washington,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: d C. From Kentucky where he's convalescing.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: So we'll see.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think that Republicans right now are counting
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: on the fact that they will not have his vote
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: one way or the other when the vote is taken
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: on Friday on Todd Blanche's nomination.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: So is Congress going to be on recess or not?
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: I know, the one thing that senators and congressmen like
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: to do, especially before midterms is getting back into their
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: districts so they can fund raise. But now there is
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: talk of doing away with the recess until the Save
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Act is passed. Is there any possibility of that.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: There is a possibility, As you know, there are some
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Republican senators that want to see that happen.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Senator Scott from Florida is one of those individuals. Mike
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Lee from Utah another one of those Republican senators. But
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: John Thune seems to be of the mindset that it's
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: more important for some of those Republican members to get
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: back home into campaign, not just a fundraise, but to
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: campaign because they're in really tight races and because of that,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: you know, he wants them to go back and make
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: sure that their seat is locked up, you know, for reelection.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: So he'd like to see Susan Collins go back to
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Maine the campaign. And you know, that's just one example
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: of one of those senators who does need to get
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: back and make certain that she locks down her state.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Her vote's pretty important in terms of Republicans maintaining control.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Over the US Senate.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Now, I know that the Attorney General now the interim
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Attorney General, who would like to become the permanent one
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: tomorrow with the up and down Senate vote, Todd Lange
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: was willing to sign a paper that said, Okay, there
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: will be no law fair funder one point eight billion,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you know, for those who felt that they were screwed
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: by the government J six and others. But I'm not
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: sure on the second part of it about shielding Trump
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: or the Trump family business from future audits by the irs,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: especially since the Trump family is making so much money
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: now on bitcoin, which I refer to as crime coin.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Is every I dotted on that and T crossed or
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: is that being left up for further discussion.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Well, according to Tom Tillis, who was on the fence,
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: and John Cornyn, who was on the fence as well,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: they're satisfied with the memos that the Department of Justice
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: has put out. But you know, as far as the
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: second item that you mentioned, this deal related to the
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: president's taxes, the taxes of his sons, the taxes of
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: his businesses. It's unclear whether that memo undoes that agreement
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: that was agree to between the Department of Justice, the
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I R S, and Donald Trump in his private capacity
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: as a citizen. I think that to undo it, you'd
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: have to have the signatures of all three of those
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: entities undo it, and I don't think that's happened.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: So, John, if Anthony Founci today is held in contempt
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: of Congress, does that have to go to the full
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Senate or can it go right to the president?
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Well, if he's founding contempt of Congress, then it is
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: up to the person that you mentioned earlier in our conversation,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, as to
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: whether or not to actually prosecute that case. There have
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: been instances before where members of the president's cabinet have
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: been founding contempt. I think about Eric Holder, for instance,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: but the US attorney in that instance decided not to
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: prosecute him for contempt of Congress. Now, Janine Piro, she
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: needs to win favor with President Trump, so we'll see
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: where this goes. You know. I think that if there
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: is a contempt of Congress vote that's taken, and Anthony
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Fauci is found in contempt of Congress, this will be
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: argued in terms of the legality of that in the
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: federal courts before we go down the path of seeing
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Anthony Fauci in a criminal court room.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Well, it's quite a drama.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: John Decker w or White House and Washington Correspondent, host
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: of the podcast The White House Briefing Room with John
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Decker that can be found in the iHeartRadio at Perfectly Imperfect,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Curtis Leewa and Larry Minty.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: In the Morning Guaranteed Humans.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: On seven tenor it was the race that was getting
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: national attention mainly because of the rise of democratic socialism
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: and the man who says I'm not a democratic socialist,
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: although if it walks like a dock and talks like
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: a duck, it's a duck and he's definitely a socialist.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: His name is Abdul L sied, and he's never run
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: for anything and he's never held political office. Abdul l sayed,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: he was supposed to. All the polls showed to show
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you how good the polls are in primaries, especially said
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: he was going to win in a walk. It was
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: gonna be fifteen points, twelve points, it was gonna be
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: double digits. But it was a horse race that went
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: until the next day. Congresswoman Haley Stevens lost by less
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: than one percent, and we didn't know the results until
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: early this morning. And yet now we do have another
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: socialist that's going to join hopefully in he's hoping for
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: to join Barry Sanders.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Barry Sanders. Yeah, well that's Detroit, you see.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Senator said, well, said would have had the Barry Sanders Jersey,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Detroit helped them.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: If I just glad I didn't say Colonel Sanders helped
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: to join Bernie Sanders, and here he is.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: El sayed, too long, our foreign policy has been handed
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: to us by the likes of the State of Israel
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: and Apak, who has made sure that Democrats and Republicans
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: are doing their bidding. So long as our politicians continue
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: to be bought off by Apak, do not be surprised
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: when we fight wars that are in their best interest
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: to annex Israel, Itanix Lebanon, or to do genocide and gossam.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well that was him talking in an interview, not
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: on the stage.
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: Hallie Stevens did particularly well in this corridor. And what's
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: in this corridor, Well, there are a lot.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Let me set this up a little bit better. This
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: is Harry Anton. As you can tell by the voice,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: everybody knows him. At this point. He talked about where
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: the votes are coming. It came from for both Haley
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Stevens and Abdul Lsied and it's fascinating and it's going
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: to say a lot about the general election race to come.
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: Hallie Stevens did particularly well in this corridor. And what's
• 23:52
  Speaker 8: in this corridor, Well, there are a lot of working
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: class voters and a lot.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Of African American voters.
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: Abdul a say it did very arly amongst these groups
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: in the primary. It's going to be very interesting to
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: see whether or not he can bring them into the
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: tent come the general election. Bring those swing voters with
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: them because we're Abdul a Saya did well. To be
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: honest with you, we're really just college towns.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Wow, come on, and you give this guy credibility. You
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: want the Muslim vote, which is a huge vote in
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Mishi came, what a schmuck this guy is.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: It's interesting in it, it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Is interesting, And everybody said, and maybe this was his problem.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Everybody said, there was going to be a huge turnout
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: of Muslim vote. Now it was up, but it didn't.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Wasn't a huge turnout from Muslim.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Over the top. For him to exclude.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: That, except that's where most of the votes came from
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: for him, most of the votes were in those areas.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's not wrong. I understand your point. I
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: understand your point, and I get it. And for him
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: to exclude that was probably a mistake because he said
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: almost exclusively, which is a dumb thing to say. But
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: but the votes, most of the votes she got were
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: from white young people and highly educated.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: People, not white young people. He won the white young people,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: that's what I said. That's what he yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: He won the and not just those who were in
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: college and college towns, for those who have gone on
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to white college job. Yeah, you're right, it was as
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: if it was a mini Mandamie.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: But he had the districts. You understand that he was
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: showing the districts. Understood that. But let's look at how
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Mandami beat Como in the primary. He lost the black
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: vote overwhelmingly, he lost the traditional moderate Democrats overwhelmingly, but
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: he won.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Those same groups. And then the very next day he
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: got down to business. He was in every black church,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: He got the unions to support him because CuMo vacillated,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: remember maybe running and independent. He went out to the
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Hamptons and hid for a while. So he's using the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: same playbook. He must get the black votes. They're not
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: going to vote for Rogers, but they'll stay home. He's
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: got to somehow excite them to come out and vote
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: fam because there's a battle, especially in what they call
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Metro Detroit. Now that's forty percent of the vote, so
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: that's not just Detroit, that's the suburban areas. The old
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: black traditional power base of Democrats is being challenged by
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the growing new power base of Arabs. So although they'll
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: appear enjoying you know, yeah, we love one another, it's
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: really bitterness, you know, No, no, no, no, you guys
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: aren't taken over.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: We fought too long to be the power in Metro Detroit.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: So he's gonna I'm.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Telling you, he's got big problems. He's got huge problems.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: I was watching Sea Span the other day and all
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: these people were calling up that are Democrats, saying, I
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: can't vote for him if he wins, I'm not going
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: to vote for him. Well, a lot of working from
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: not going to vote for Rogers. They are, they say
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: they're going to I mean, you know, and listen sea Span.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: It could be a setup. I don't know, but but
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: it sounded like they were. And the polls show that
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: that Rogers at this point is going to win, and
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: all the betting markets are going for Rogers, and.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Rogers were small. He takes off the table. A pack.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: A PAC invested thirty two million dollars in the fail
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: candidacy of Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who lost, as you mentioned,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: by less than a percentage point. And I thought, for sure,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: you're going to go to court, because, as you pointed
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: out to me, Larry, in a primary, it's not an
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: automatic recount as would be in a general election.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: I thought it would be that too.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: The very next date, happy making love to one another
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: political love along with the outgoing senator, you know, to
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: show solid Josh like Mandami did.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: But if Rogers is smart, he's going to raise a
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: lot of money. Don't take a pack money, because.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he's going to and so I mean, you're
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: saying that, but I'm sure he's going to and I
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: think that he's going to win going away. And I
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: think one of the reasons is going to be is
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: because it's, first of all, it's a swing state, and secondly,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: it's mostly conservative state, and so they're going to go
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: for Rogers, even the Democratic Conservatives who are the white
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: working class, and they are going to use this as
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: drawing a line. Donald Trump's already talked about it. Rogers
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: came out and talked about it. They want to draw
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: the line on socialism and they want to drive the
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: line and what they call communism. Here's Rogers what he
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: said after l SI ed one.
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: I'm telling you this is about the heart and soul
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: of our country. The whole country is looking at us
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: Kire in Michigan. They're looking at you, and they're hoping
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: we do everything that we can do together to make
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: sure that we stop this in its tracks.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: That's what the race is going to be. That's what
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: the race is going to be. This is the battlefield
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: against socialism with Rogers. You can hear him saying it,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: so you don't think he's going to win with.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: That telling you that was used against FTR.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: He's a student of different than it was the Republicans
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: who was screaming that he was a communist. He was
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: a socialist. Learn your history. I do know my history.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: They never he's not. L si Ed's not, Abdul al sayed.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: As much as you don't want to acknowledge this, yes,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I know number one issue, costs, the living, number two issue,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: the economy, number three issue. Iran all in them play
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: to l said rog people aren't going to admit they're
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: not going to vote for L.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: S i E.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: That's the reason. For that reason. They're never gonna say
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: it's because he's a Muslim. They're never gonna say it's
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: because he's a social The same arguments again, Zoorahanmandami, that's
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: again it's apples and arches. Apples and arches. He can
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: win in New York. L s I Ed would win
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: in New York not Michigan.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you if he takes a pack money Rogers,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: he doesn't need it. He just gives l Saied a
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: tremendous campaign.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: You don't like a pack all over the place. Well,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: you know they're not losing races all over the place.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: They normally win, won't We get the percentages on the.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: People the Democrats who because they they they weren't a
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: supporter of BB they backed another Democrat and hurt that Democrat.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: They are obsessed with in the Democratic Party. That's it,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. I will say that they win probably
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: at seventy five percent of the time, not.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: In favor of Israel, is not in favor of being Democrats.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: You and the rest of the Democrats are.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: So he can't Rogers cannot win with Republican Slona Michigan.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: You do acknowledge that.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: No, that he can win the white middle class is
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: what he can win. That's how he's gonna win. I
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: will bet you that he wins the right.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: I would love to bet well, I would, But I'm
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: gonna tell you learn your history is ridiculous. It's ridiculous,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: ridiculous history, history repeats it yet out of your history
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: for a second, and my history, because those who don't
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: understand the history turn out to be fools.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Because history, we know those.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Are foolish who compare FDR to abdul al sayed, it's
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: it's like compara a racist.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: FDR was an anti Semites. Learn your history.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Please, please leave, anybody can leave a talk back, and
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: please help me on this to convince him that Abdulla.
