  Speaker 1: On seventen wr it's more of the marks emosia. Well,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: it's a hot day to day, but this is nothing
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: compared to what you're going to feel the rest of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the week. It's going to be dangerously hot for Wednesday, Thursday,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Friday into Saturday. It'll hit one hundred degrees real field
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: could hit one hundred and nine and something like that.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: So it's just going to be a little better. On Saturday,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: will be ninety five, but thundershowers on Saturday. Hopefully this
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: forecast changes, which it can. It can change in the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: next day or two. So a lot of Supreme Court
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the rulings are happening left and right. Here. President Trump
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: wont to end birthright citizenship. Supreme Court rejected that bid,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: so the birthright citizenship stands, which doesn't make a lot
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of sense to a lot of people. The other big
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: ruling is the Supreme Court ruled that states can ban
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: transgender athletes from participating in women's sports. That's pretty common sense,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: simple logical. Obviously, you don't want a big, hulking guy
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: playing against women. So the Supreme Court has ruled any
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: state can ban transgender athletes. President Trump was trying to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: get the Egen Carol find the Mountain. He had a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: payer thrown out that was rejected, so he owes her
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: five million dollars. She will never live to collect the money.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: You'll see. It was a strange case, the Egen Carroll case,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: because it was based on what a lot of people
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: thought was just a ridiculous lie. She claimed that she
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: was in Burgdorff Goodman. He happened to be there. This
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: is the women's store, not the men's store. He followed
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: her into the dressing room that the attacked her and
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: assaulted her. And nobody's buying this. The story that she
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: told was exactly the same story as a Law and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Order episode, even Burgdorf Goodman. I mean, it just would
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: look to any normal person like she obviously saw this
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Law and Order episode and stole the plot because it's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: exactly the same. The billionaire reszillionaire tech guy who was
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Ardreid Hoffman financed her case. She got in front of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a New York jury that hates Donald Trump and a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: New York judge that hates Donald Trump. That's how she
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: got the She couldn't win a criminal conviction, but civil
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: standards are much much lower. She won the civil case
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: but again vicious Trump hating jury, and she was asking
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: for twenty four million dollars in a judgment. The jury
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: hated Trump so much that they up it to eighty
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: eight million dollars. Nobody has ever seen that ever happen,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: where whatever they were asking for the jury tripled it quadrupled.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: That This is unheard of, So it was a ridiculous case.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It was more a case of hero of the Supreme
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Court just didn't want to get involved in it. They
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: also ruled that Trump can fire the heads of agencies
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and departments, which again simple common sense, and of course
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the left going nuts, the MSNBC crowd going nuts that
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: now Trump will be a king, Now he'll be You
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: could always do this, you know. They create these fantasies
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in their head that the Justice Department is must remain independent.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It's supposed to be totally independent. No, it's not. That
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: was never the case. The Fed must be totally independent.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: That was never the case. Donald Trump is the Justice Department,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: he's the chief law enforcement officer. He can direct the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Justice Department as we're supposed to do. He can direct
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the State Department, that's what he's supposed to do. He
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: can direct the Secretary Defense. He can direct the Treasury Secretary.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: That's his job. These guys all work for him. They're
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the cabinet. He can direct them, including the Department of Justice.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: So Supreme Court upholding his right to fire and hire
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: in those agency heads. That's basically most of the Supreme
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Court ruling this weekend. You know, it's fourth of July.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Although the weather's going to really screw up people's plans,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: but in Washington, d C. It's even hotter. It'll be
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: like one hundred and ten degrees in DC. But in
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: DC they're supposed to have the America two fifty enormous,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: enormous celebrations, but I don't know with this weather. A
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: lot of people are going to be standing outside in
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: this weather that could affect things. President Trump is warning
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that security is going to be very, very very intense
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: around these America two fifties celebrations, especially around landmarks and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: monuments in Washington, d C. So that's good to know.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You're going to hear a lot of flack about Trump sons,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: about Howard Lutnik, about Steve Whitcoff. You know, they're making
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: all kinds of deals all over the world, big deals,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: now in all these different countries, and you're going to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: see them accused, the Trump's son and Lutnick and others
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of profiting off these deals. They're good deals for America,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: but at the same time these guys could profit. For instance,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they closed the deal for an American company Trump and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Lutnick CAZ Resources to mine one of the world's biggest
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: reserves of tungsten. Records indicate that firms tied to their
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: sons financial will gain from the contract. The New York
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Times reported it's another one, Dominary Securities, which is actually
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: has their offices in Trump Tower, partly owned by Donald
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Trump Junior and Eric Trump, has joined other investors to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: take a twenty percent stake in a company related to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the project. At the same time, Lutnex company, Canter Fitzgerald
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: has an investment controlled by his sons Brandon and Kyle.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: You got those are like typical modern day uppreast side names,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Brandon and Kyle. Brandon and Kyle. Lutnick helped one of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the investors with raising the two hundred and ten million,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So they're all tangled up in these deals. But it
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: sounds bad. Even the New York Post going after them
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: for this says his Hunter Biden's style sleeves is just
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: as slimy when the Trump boys do it. According to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: The New York Post, Democrats in Congress are pressing for
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: an investigation into these Trump's sweetheart deals. Now, New York
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Post has a good point here. If they win the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: House in the midterms, they're definitely going to have these hearings,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and these Trump kids, these Lutnik kids, are going to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: find themselves testifying around the clock under oath. So the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: New York Posts saying it would behoove the Trump administration
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and the whole nation if the president would get ahead
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of this act transparently clean up the whole mess before
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it swamps his final two years in office and defines
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: his legacy. Well, that's a good point. Now, it's not
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the same as Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden was a crack
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: addict with no job, no career, nothing, and then all
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, his father becomes vice president. He's on
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the board of oil companies, he's on the board of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: an energy company, He's getting millions from China for his
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: hedge fund. This guy never had a job. The difference
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: here is Donald Trump Junior Eric Trump were always doing
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. They were massive businessmen before Trump
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: became president. Jared Kushner, for instance, was worth a billion
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: dollars by the time he was thirty. He was a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: major real estate mogul in New York. He was involved
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in all kinds of other businesses. The same thing with
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Lutnick and his kids. Lutnick ran Canter Fitzgerald. He's a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: major hedgephund. So these guys before Trump got present, before
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: all of this, were tangled up in multi multimillion dollar
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: deals making a fortune. Now that doesn't mean this is
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: not profiteering off Trump as president, but it's not a
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: dramatic She's not like Hunter Biden never had a job
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and suddenly he's making millions on the board of an
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: oil company or an energy company. So it's just more
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of the same. And Lisa, you know Don Junior, Eric Trump,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure the Lutna kids, all these guys are
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: wit coffin. This is the way they always were. You know,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you throw them anywhere into any place, any situation, and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: they're making money. They know how to make money off
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: anything and everything. They just do this all the time.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: But the Post has a point. If Democrats take the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: House in the midterms. Boy, are you going to see
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: hearings on this? Hey, it's a gridlock Alerte today because
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: of the FIFA stuff. Forty second Street will be closed.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I think thirty fourth Street will be closed. I mean,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it's going to cause a traffic nightmare in most of Manhattan.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: So that's today. Now here's the other thing you're going
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to see a little bit of the same thing. Could
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: be Thursday Friday. There's the Taylor Swift Travis Kelcey wedding
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden. It looks it's like it's going
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to be a three day event. Could be Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: They're going to have a rehearsal dinner this is in
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden for one hundred people. They're gonna have
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the wedding. Then they're gonna have a party the next
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: day for like two thousand people. So you know, you're
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: not supposed to know about this, although they're leaking it
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: out left and right, but it's pretty obvious if you're
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: around Madison Square Garden. People are seeing vendors setting up
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: for the event, like a lighting company, there's a piping
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and draping business. There's a transportation service company. They're all
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: over the garden, some of them with unmarked trucks. Staffers
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: have been seen unloading large, large boxes, all wrapped up
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: covered with tarps. Big semi trailers are unloading stuff at
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden. Forklifts were seen moving massive trunks, big
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: trunks filled with unknown inventory. Trunks is usually lighting equipment,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: sound equipment, all that kind of stuff. There was a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: massive box unloaded that actually you could The Post took
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a picture and zoomed in on the label. It said
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: forty inch mirror ball is being brought in. Other vendors
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: very very covert, trying to stay you know, secret about
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: everything they're doing, concealing business names, logos and phone numbers
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: with tape. Also spotted the being unloaded. Dozens of spotlights, chairs, concerts, staging,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: no parking signs are going up Oliver Madison Square Garden.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: So this is a This is going to be a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: mess for three days. It's going to tie up a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: lot of crazy traffic and make things crazy here in
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: New York. Let's see, so I mean I mentioned that.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Let me just check again. Gas prices down a little today.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Gases down to about seventy dollars, which is pretty much
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: pre Iran War was sixty eight sixty nine, the President
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: demanding that the gasoline retailers lower the prices immediately. When
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the cost of oil a bare of oil goes down,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: it takes a while for that to translate into lower
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: prices at the pumps, but the President yelling at them.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Even Scott bessnt getting into the act, saying, we're watching you.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: You better, you better get this done pretty fast, so
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you'll probably see it start to happen pretty quick. National
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: average is about three eighty. It could it could really
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: go to two fifty. It's going to take a while.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: They'll have to get there slowly, but they will get
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: there pretty soon. So hey, you know Sacks Fifth Avenue,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: it was in bankruptcy, these big, big retailers, the big
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you know Sacks. You know they merged with even Marcus
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that didn't go so well. Then they went into bankruptcy.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: They're coming out of bankruptcy and they decided to go
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: much higher, much higher end, like real luxury. They're getting
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: of those lesser priced ones that they got Saxon fifth.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: They've emerged from bankruptcy, but they got rid of a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: lot of locations. They'll focus on just luxury retail. They
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: closed most of their off price locations, totally restructured. They
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: think they're all set and they'll do better. Hey, you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: over at that crazy MSNBC or ms now or whatever
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the hell they call it, they got rid of the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: longest running anchor at the network. Believe it or not.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: See if you can guess who it is now it's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a weekend anchor. It's Alex Wit, you know, with the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: blonde hair. Very nice looking woman, very nice woman. I've
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: been on with her a million times. Really nice woman.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Alex Witt is the longest running host at MS NOW.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: It's almost about thirty years that she's been there. Thirty
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: years now, why are they gett rid of? Everybody loves
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: her and she's great, she's the weekend host. The reason
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: they're getting rid of her they're not going to do
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: weekends alive much anymore. You know, they're not making any money.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: It's the ratings are disastrous. The whole network. It's not
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: making a lot of money. So they're gonna go with,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you know, just run old programming on the weekends. They've
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: formed a partnership with something called Crooked Media. That's some
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: crazy progressive media company. So the weekend lineup, Crooked Media
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: will provide a lot of it. It's going to be podcasts,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: taped programs outside the programs. In other words, they'll just
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: run podcasts and old stuff and save money. Now, a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: lot of places do that. You know, a lot of
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: radio stations on the weekend they run infomercials and different
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: kinds of paid program It's not unusual, but it didn't
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: happen before at MSNBC. And this is obviously big, big,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: big cost cutting going on there. Hey, you know that
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: crazy James Carville yelling and screaming at the Democrats stand
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: up to these socialists. You know a lot of Democrats
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: starting to realize they lost their party. They don't have
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a Democratic party anymore. Socialists are going to take it over,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: which means that's it for the old Democrats. Hey, Bill
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Maher lashing out at Democrats, pointing out you know, I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: didn't really know all this, but he's starting to point
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: out these Democrats refused to come on his show. He said,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: He've been trying to get Mom, Donnie, been trying to
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: get Kamala Harris, and they're afraid they won't come on.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: AOC won't come on and he's standing up to all
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: of this going. He's going to make it a regular
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: crusade to get them on the show, but they're afraid
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: they won't do it. Pretty interesting that they just don't
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: have the nerve, you know. And Bill Maher is not
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: going to be that hostile to him, but he's going
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: to ask real questions. Mom, Donnie doesn't want to answer
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: real questions, Kamala doesn't want to answer real questions, and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: certainly not aoc hey, we'll take some calls. Next. Eight
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
