  Speaker 1: Fox some more live from the wr Life Back studios. Hey,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: now you know it's summer. Forgot to mention that it's officially summer. Now.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The first day of summer was Sunday. The other thing
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: is Sunday was the longest day of the year. You know,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: light out till almost nine o'clock. It starts getting darker
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: earlier every day now, So to enjoy it while you can, Well,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you get a lot to get to. Today. We'll be
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: talking about Clive Davis at great length. We'll get to Iran,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: We'll get to this crazy new book, this New York
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Times Maggie Haberman hit piece on Donald Trump. It's actually
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: pretty funny. I mean, they're up to their old tricks.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: It's right out of the old playbook. We'll get to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that. This a terrible story about the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism in New York. Hey, Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mother,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: there's been strange breakthroughs in the case. Strange in that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: why are they just figuring this out? Now? You know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: it was the local police who don't seem to know
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: what the hell they're doing. But the FBI then got involved.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: But Nancy Guthrie is now believed to be dead. It's
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: believed that she did not last long after the kidnapping.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: She was kidnapped and then they think it was just
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: within a day or so that she died. She couldn't
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: survive the kidnapping. But they're looking back at ransom notes,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and there's a certain ransom note or two from the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: same place that they believe are the kidnappers. Now, why
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: they didn't know this back then, it still hasn't been explained.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But apparently in one of the ransom notes they knew
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: stuff that only the kidnappers could know. They correctly identified
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a broken floodlight in the back of her home, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: they knew details about the Apple watch she was wearing
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that only the kidnapper could know. So they're going back
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and looking at this, at these notes, they've got the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: IP addresses. Now, again, these are these local yokel law
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: enforcement people who don't know what the hell they're doing,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: but they're trying to track the IP address and they
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: have to trace it through a string of proxy servers
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that could lead back to the suspects. Now, apparently one
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: time these kidnappers asked for a bitcoin a ransom and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Bitcoin authorities dropped a small amount of money into that
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: bitcoin account, and the reason they did that is said
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: they could just just a little money in there, just
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: so they could trace the money and see where it went. Now,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I think what happened here just guessing, But at the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: time I remember they went public with stuff I didn't know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and I don't think the kidnapers knew that bitcoin is traceable.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: The whole idea of bitcoin, you use that so it's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: totally anonymous, nobody can find out anything. But authorities did
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: reveal that they can trace bitcoin. There are ways to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: do it. They can trace it right back to you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So that's why they put a tiny amount so they
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: could start tracing it back to the kidnappers. When this
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: was made public in all the news stories that bitcoin
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: was traceable, and the kidnappers saw them deposit little tiny
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: amount in the bitcoin, they might have figured out that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: they were trying to trace them and then gave up
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: on attempts to collect their ransom. So, even though these
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: were the kidnappers, she died. I assume they buried her somewhere.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: They must have, because she's never been found. But I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: guess they just gave up trying to collect their ransom.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie has put out all kinds of statements today
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: begging them to reveal at least where she is, just
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: so they can know that and get some closure here.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: So we'll see. This New York City coffee shop story
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: is the most awful, ugly story. You know. This representative
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Congressman Dan Goldman, who's the slimiest weasel ever. But but
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: put that aside. He's Jewish Dan Goldman, and he's the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: supporter of Israel. Despite the fact that he's a crazy
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: left wing democrat. He's the supporter of Israel. Not a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: big supporter, but a basic basically supports Israel. So he
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: goes into the local coffee shop in Brooklyn Williamsburg. This
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: is his usual coffee shop in his neighborhoods called Poetica Coffee,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and he buys a cup of coffee. I guess the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: guy didn't recognize him at first. They later figured out
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: it was Dan Goldman, the congressman, and on their social
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: media they apparently issued a refund nine dollars and eighty
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: two cents for the coffee. First of all, they should
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: probably be charged with something there, some kind of that's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: a robbery nine dollars and eighty two cents for a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: cup of coffee. But they put up a bitter Facebook
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: post attacking Goldman saying they were gave the refund. They
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: put the money back onto his credit card because they
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: don't want to take money from anybody that supports genocide,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: saying Israel commits genocide, which of course is idiotic anti
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Semitic talk. But they then put this just ugly anti
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Semitic stuff up on their Facebook. Here at Poetica, we
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: don't serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers. It goes on
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and on. It's just idiotic stuff. Too bad we didn't
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: We don't need your money. It's probably coming from Apac anyway.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Enjoy your loss on Tuesday, today's primary day. There's a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: good chance he could lose today. Don't ever come into
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Poetica again. Well this is the worst anti Semitic coffee shop.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Now this is you might say, Well, it might could
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: be the employee. You should be right now, the owner himself,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the owner of the coffee shop, has come out and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: backed this up and said things even worse He's compared
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Israel to Nazi Germany. It's absolutely disgusting. This is the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: worst racism, anti semitism discrimination. This coffee shop should be
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: shut down immediately. Hopefully it'll be picketed left and right
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: until it goes out of business. It's Poetica Poetica Coffee
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. They reporters talked to Attorney General Letitia James,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: who should step in immediately and shut this down. She
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: had nothing to say about it. Mayor Mom Donnie, who
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: should have the Department of Consumer Affairs and all that
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: goes shut them down, did not respond for comment. It's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a complete violation of New York's human rights laws. This
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: coffee should be shut down immediately. But you got Mamdani
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and Letitia James knowing them to look the other way
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: on this. Now, the good news is you got the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: President Trump in office. His Justice Department is looking into it. Harmit.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Dillon has been assigned to this coffee shop. I mean,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: it's the worst case of discrimination imaginable. Hopefully they will
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the FEDS will come in and charge them federally with
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: something absolutely disgusting story. So now the Iran deal looks
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: like they're going to be signing it. The President of
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Iran is on his way to Pakistan to sign JD
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: vance signed first for US, then the president of the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Iranian Parliament. Next step is President Trump signs it, and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the President of Iran signs it. So that'll be happening.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And part of the deal is we're not given them money.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: We're just releasing some of their money back to them.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And part of the deal is we can say where
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: they spend it. In other words, they can't just go
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: spend it on weapons. They got to spend it on
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: their own population. They got to spend it on wheat
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and barley and that kinds of feed people. And according
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to the deal, they will buy all that from American farmers.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: President Trump, if the sanctions go out, money is going
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to be put into this country. All that money is
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: coming back in the form of purchase of the food
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: which they desperately need. They have ninety one million people,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: they can't feed them. So the money that we lift
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: is going to go to our farmers. All right, that's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: pretty good. Now, if you don't like the Iran deal,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and that's most people. They hate this deal. But this
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything. This is like round four of a
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: fifteen round fight. This deal. You may not like it,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: it might whatever. It's just for a month or two.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: We're going to be in this deal. I'm not really
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: supposed to say this, but one of the reasons we're
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in there's a deal. This is also a stalling tactic.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: You know, we had to cease fire and we're stalling
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: for a month, and now this will stall for another
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: couple of months. One of the things that's doing for
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: us it's given us time to re arm. We used
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of missiles, we used a lot of bombs.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: We used a lot of missiles. We used a lot
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of drones in the attack on Iran. So we need
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to re arm, restock the supply. It takes a while
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to build them, and this has given us time to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: totally restock for the next invasion which will be coming.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: One thing that really got to Iran was the blockade.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: It shut them down. I think the blockade was more
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: impactful than dropping bombs. If you want another truth, it was,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: like I said, they call it the steel wall. Nobody
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: got through it. Now one ship got through able to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: go to Iran. They got through. We wanted them to
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: go through. Yeah, so they did keep a part of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the straight open what they call the Southern Route, which
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is along the Oman coast that was open. Ships have
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: been coming through there. They brought one hundred million gallons
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: of oil out in the last couple of weeks. By
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the way, the price of oil, let's just check, is
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: dropping dramatically. The last time I looked, oh, it was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: seventy three. Now it's seventy two dollars a barrel. Seventy
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: two dollars a barrel average price at the pumps, and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: now I was about three seventy. Expected to hit three
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: point fifty pretty soon. Oil dropping. It was one hundred
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and ten of barrel. Now it's seventy two. Of course,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: there's no mention of that anywhere by the fake news,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that it's down almost forty dollars a barrel. No mention
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of that from the fake news, but they like to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: keep that quiet. Hey, this new book, it's two New
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: York Times morons. It's Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. And
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: if you see them on a television show like Morning
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Joe This Morning, you'll see them on other shows. There's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: no more Colbert to go on, but you know they'll
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: be on the Sunday shows, and they look brilliant. You know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: she's got the big glasses and look smart. He's got
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: sort of a British accent. It sounds very smart. They're
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: two absolutely idiots. It's the dumbest book ever written. It's
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: all nonsense, and it's got this ridiculous title. What's it called.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember, is it Revenge something? But the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: subtitle is The Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. The Imperial Presidency.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Now this is history repeating itself. Back when Nixon was president,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: they had Nixon Derangement syndrome. They all hated him, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Dan Rather was the leading critic. He wrote a book
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: called The Imperial Presidency, The Imperial Presidency of Richard Nixon. Well,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: here's the new one, The Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: But I watched these two idiots on Morning Joe, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I got to give him credit. They make the most
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: preposterous cases with straight faces. He's talking about the Trump
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: prosecuting people that are enemies, and she actually said, we
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: have never seen a president ever ever prosecute his political enemies.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: We just saw four years of the worst example whatever.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Where they were they in a coma for four years
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: so it's just ludicrous. Would give them credit? They say
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: this nonsense with a straight face. Look there they are
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: again on MS whatever the hell it's called. Uh yeah,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you're gonna see a lot of them. They'll be they'll
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: be the stars of the Sunday shows. They'll they'll promote
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: this book like crazy. Well, let's talk about Clive Davis
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes. We'll do it again later
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: this hour with Roger Friedman, who knew Clive very well. Uh,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: he was a friend of mine. He was an amazing
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: obviously you know about his talent. They said he had
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the golden ears. He discovered the longest list of people.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Nobody's discovered more big names over more decades than Clive Davis,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: from Janis Joplin to Bruce Springsteen to Barry Manilow to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Whitney Houston. And I mean, you shouldn't even st this
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: list because I'll never remember all the names. Engineered the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: comeback of Santana, Rod Stewart, you can go on and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: on and on with all these names. I remember being
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: in his office a long time ago. This was back
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: when he was running Arister Records. This would be a
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: late eighties, early nineties, believe or not, everybody still used cassettes.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You remember cassettes, the forty five minute cassette, There was
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a ninety minute cassette. It was even a one twenty cassette,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty mins. Well, I was in his office.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at there's a stack of cassettes from the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: floor to the ceiling. There must have been literally five
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: hundred cassettes stacked up, and there were like ten more rows,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: so there must have been five thousand cassettes stacked up.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I never said anything like in my life, even in
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a radio station, we never had that many cassettes. I said,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I said, what are all those cassettes? He said, those
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: are unknown artists that send me tapes that there band
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: or themselves. And I looked at him. It was literally
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: five thousand cassettes. I said, you're not gotta listen to
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: all of those, are you? And he looked at me
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: like I was crazy. He said, are you kidding? Of course,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: he said the next Beatles could be in there. Of course,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen to every one of them. But that's
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: how devoted he was. Dedicated. He was had an incredible ear.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I loved like asking him about certain artists, like why
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: this guy wasn't bigger, or why this guy didn't really
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: do and he could explain it to you musically, in incredible,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: like mathematical detail, exactly what was wrong with the way
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: they did stuff, the tempo, the pacing, the phrase, and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: he could explain it to you so precisely. Had an
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: incredible ability not just to pick talent, but to pick
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: songs and all of that stuff. And the one thing
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I really admired about him, you know, I love I've
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: spent my whole life going out every night to a
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: million places, told whatever hour. This guy in his nineties
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: would do that more than I ever could. I couldn't
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: keep up. I mean, I really admire guys like that.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra was the other one, but he only lived
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: to eighty two. But even at seventy eight, this guy,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you couldn't keep up with him. He was out all
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: night till literally seven in the morning. I remember Tom
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Dreesen said to him once he was leaving, and Sinatra goes,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: where you're going, He goes cemetery, and he said, for
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: what he goes to see all the other guys that
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: try to keep up with you, so that was Clive
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and it was unbelievable, the energy, and he'd have just
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: till the end. I mean he every weekend he had
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: a house in Pound Ridge. He would invite forty people
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to his house, literally forty people to his house every
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: weekend and it was just NonStop activity for two days.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't like to go to those because you'd get
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a schedule as soon as you got up there a detailed,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like blow by blow schedule. It's like for Saturday seven
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: to nine, breakfast, nine to ten, rest time, ten o'clock,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: meet the bus, We're going to this, and then we're
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: go into detail every moment of the day what you
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: had to do. And then at night he would have
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a thing called Poundridge's Got Talent where everybody had to perform. Yeah,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I know it sounds crazy, or sometimes it'd be charades.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: It was a little crazy, but he just loved to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: keep busy, he loved activity. Had a great partner. His
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: name is Greg Schieffer. Wonderful guy, very talented guy. And
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I mean you'll never see a lot of people think
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you'll never see anybody else like And we'll talk about
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: it more with Roger Friedman in a couple of minutes,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls. Next eight hundred three two one
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten
