  Speaker 1: You just heard the news. Now you'll find out what
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: it all means.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: He s marks amone on seven tenor.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's almost Friday. I'm getting there. Hey, a lot
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to get to. We'll get to the King's visit yesterday.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Not a single no Kings sign anywhere. We'll get to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: your own Powell. We'll get to a ran, We'll get
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to James Comy, We'll get to a crazy mom Donnie,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and a whole lot more coming up. So the King
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: is gone. He left fast. He was here yesterday the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: World Trade Center ceremony where mayor Mom Donnie, I guess
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: greeted him. You know, if you met the king, what
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the hell do you talk to him about? I mean,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I've actually talked to him a few times here and there.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: There's not much to talk to him about. He loves clothes,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: if you want to talk about Turnbull and Asser and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: where he gets a suit. He loves talking about that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Outside of that, there's not much. But you're supposed to be,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you know, warm and welcome to our country. We are
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: so happy to have you here. Whatever Mom, Donnie would
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: what would he do if he met the king? What
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: would he say to him?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: If I was to speak to the king separately from that,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I would probably encourage him to return the coin or diamond.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: The glen or diamond is some something back when Britain
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: had colonized everything with some diamond in India that Britain
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: still possesses. And you know, of all the issues you
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: could talk to Britain about, out of all the major
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: issues they're supporting us in Iran, there's a million issues
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: we have with Britain.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: If I was to speak to the king separately from that,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I would probably encourage him to return the coin or diamond.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you he didn't know where the hell the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: claim art diamond is or what it is. And when
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: first of all, when he met you could see the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: look on his face when he met Mom Donnie. He
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: kind of looked at everybody and who is this? And
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they had Mayor Bloomberg there, I think as they needed
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: an actual adult to talk to the king. So it's
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: pretty embarrassing. Mom Donnie was somewhere there on the sidelines.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But it was Mayor Bloomberg who laid the reef with
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the king. It was Mayor Bloomberg who talked to him,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: who was basically the host of this whole thing. Now,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Mayor Bloomberg has quite a relationship with Great Britain. Bloomberg
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: has major, major offices in London, has for years, Bloomberg
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: has lived in London, has always had a place there,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: very very very big on Great Britain. So and if
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie had to ad said to him, returned the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: later diamond, I'm sure the King would have looked at
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: him and said, no, what a silly thing. I mean,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: this guy's the mayor of New York. How the hell
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: did he get to be the Mayor of New York.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Except after that they split up. Camilla went to the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: library for some literary book event. They called it a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: literary event, the library literary. The host showed her around
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: was Sarah Jessica Parker, and then there was Anna wind Tower.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I really don't think these are two great figures in
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: American literature. But I like the book section in the City,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the original book, but literature I don't know. So this
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: was the literary luncheon. Then the King went to Harlem
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to look at some organic farming. And normally, when you're
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the King of the Queen, they show you these things
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and you got to pretend you're interested. But in this case,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it is something that Prince Charles for all those years
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: was very big on organic, this organic farming. He was
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: very green all that kind of stuff. And then I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: don't know, they disappeared for a couple hours, and then
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: they came to Christie's Auction House in Rockefeller Center for
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a big gala, a dinner auction. It was to be
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a massive event and everybody was there and it was huge.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It was at Christie's, but I noticed the King and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Queen stayed about twelve minutes. They were not there that long.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: It said, they'll be a cocktail reception, there'll be an auction,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: they'll be a gala dinner. But if you were watching
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: carefully in that cocktail reception, they kind of disappeared. They
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: got out of there pretty fast. It didn't last long,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. But they continued along with this great
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: gala dinner. And you know, interestingly, they had the state
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: dinner at the White House the night before and there's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a million people that were I mean not a million,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: but the people were there. Put a million pictures on
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Instagram of everything that happened. Brett Baar was there, Laura Ingram,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of media people, Marie Barbaromo, Senator McCormick, a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: lot of senators, and they all posted all the pictures
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: they took that night. I notice one thing. It's two
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: long tables, like a horseshoe kind of thing. So everybody
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: are these very very long tables. So most people at
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the long, long table, you're miles away from the king.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And then notice people took pictures with each other, but
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: nobody had a picture with the king. So apparently he
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: just stayed up in the front, never went around greeting everybody.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But tomorrow today they're in Virginia. They'll visit a park,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a national park, they'll visit a horse farm, and you see,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you might be thinking, you'd love to be the king.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine being the King of England? Oh my god,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the King of England. This is what you do all day.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: They take you to national park and show you around,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and you've got to pretend you're interested. Then they take
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you to a horse farm. I mean, you could be
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: interested in horses. I think she is, but you know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: after you've toured four hundred horse farms around the world,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: it's not that exciting. So you got and you got
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to pretend you're interested the whole time, and then I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: think that's it. Yeah, then they'll leave, they'll go back
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to Great Britain. I'm sure they'll be back soon. He
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: was actually, he's actually been here a lot. He was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: here in twenty fifteen, he was here in twenty eleven,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: he was here in two thousand and five. She doesn't
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: come that often, but it was quite an exciting visit.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: It looked good. I mean, the conversation not too cinhilating,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: but it looked good. Hey, Jerome Powell, he's out as
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: FED chairman. Kevin Warsh took one step forward yesterday to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: getting confirmed. It looks like he will get confirmed. He's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a good choice. He's everybody's choice. President Trump wanted him,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and all the top guys. You know, we'll talk to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Steve Moore later about this, but Kevin Hassett and Scott
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Bessant and all the top financial guys wanted Kevin Warsh.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So it'll be him now. When you take over to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the FED chairman, the other chairman leaves. Technically he's still
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: on the board, but he leaves. It's just tradition. Paul says,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: he's not leaving. He's gonna stay on the board. Now
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: this is like the tenant. You can't get out. You
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: got to go to landlord tenant court. So this is embarrassing.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Paul's going to stay, he said it has to do
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: with the criminal investigation. But they've dropped the criminal investigation.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: That turned it over to an inspector general, which is
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the appropriate thing to do. But he still won't leave.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I've said that I will not leave the board until
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: this investigation is well and truly over, with transparency and finality,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and I stand by that. Yeah, now they can torture
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: him out. He can stay on the board, but they
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: can torture him out. They could just never let him
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: speak in the meetings. They can move his parking space
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to two miles away, they can take his locker away.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: They can do stuff to get him out of there.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: But he's a bad guy. He's the Comy of the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: FED speaking to Komy yesterday. Kombe was brought in yesterday.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: He surrendered to the FED yesterday on charges he threatened
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to kill the president in the Instagram post. Komy sixty
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: five surrendered at Federal Courthouse, Alexandria, Virginia. Now the last
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: time they charge, you know, they didn't get him. But
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: this is a little different because this is going to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: be in the Eastern District of North Carolina. That's a
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: conservative Republican sort of US Attorney Republican sort of district,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So he won't get the crazy left wing jury that
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: will automatically let Comy out. So he's got a problem
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: with the venue. He's got Patrick Fitzgerald once again in
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: as his lawyer. Patrick Fitzgerald was a prosecutor a couple
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of major, major cases. He was always considered a real
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: left wing sort of a prosecutor. But he'll be the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: attorney now. I don't you know. They're both former US Attorney's,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: former Justice Department. They're obviously close friends. I don't he
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: may not be charging him.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: One of the things when you get charged with this
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: stuff and you have to fight it, it drains you.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: It just cats you millions. But that Gerald may be
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: doing this for free. Now, Comy's a very very wealthy guy.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: In between government jobs, he worked at hedge funds, so
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: he's a very wealthy guy. Lived in Connecticut for a while,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: worked for Ray dalya. Now he's going to argue that
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: he just came along saw these Seashells. But if you
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: check back, there was another incident way before that with
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: seashells on a beach that Komy Instagram. This is the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: second time he's happened to come upon seashells. Something sounds
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: off fishy there. The real problem is Komy is actually
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you know, when you see him as the prosecutor, he
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: just stands there all you know, somber. But in real
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: life he's an awkward, uncomfortable sort of a guy to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: be around. He's a weirdo, which is fine if you're
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the prosecutor. You know, you can be awkward and uncomfortable
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and have no personality and be the prosecutor. But for
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: some reason a few years ago, he decided he would
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: become the next Kim Kardashian. He decided he would become
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: this fun influencer on Instagram. And when you're a big, weird, awkward,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: somber guy, you don't know how to do it. You
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: can't do it, you have no idea. And over the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: last couple of years he has put out some of
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the most cringe worthy videos where he's trying to be
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: cute or funny or cool or they're just I mean,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the most cringey videos. You've ever seen the Seashells thing.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Even if it was not a threat, it's just kind
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of stupid. Comy's going to argue that, you know, having
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: been working worked in restaurants, eighty six just meant get
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: rid of something unruly customer, throw them out. Okay, it
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: did mean that in restaurants. But also, as Trump points out,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: eighty six, you know it's a mob term for kill him.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: You know, you ever see the.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Movies eighty six? The mobster says to one of his
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: wonderful associates, eighty six, that means kill him.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: There you go. I think I've seen every mob movie
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a thousand times. I never did you ever once hear
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: in a mob movie eighty six? I don't think so.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Did you ever hear Daniro say eighty six? I've never
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: heard that. Did you ever hear Michael Corleone say eighty six?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And I've never heard that? But again, from what I hear,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: this other stuff coming. They got more on him. This
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: is just to get the ball rolling. There'll be other
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: charges added into this later. Be call me a bad guy.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: that meant. If you're the FBI director and you don't
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: know what that meant, that meant assassination, and it says
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: it loud and clear.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Well, he's got a point there. If you're the FBI director,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: you know, well it's vague, it's borderline, but still if
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you're a former FBI director, you shouldn't be doing that.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: It was again, call me a very very very awkward guy.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: So you know that cop that was beat up in
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the liquor store, I mean, not in the cop, the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: guy the cops beat up in the liquor store. He's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: now suing the city. You've seen the video. They think
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: he's the criminal they're looking for, and it was just
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a bunch of very very very bad coincidences. He looked
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: exactly like the description, and part of the description is
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the guy who's wearing like green neon shorts. So the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: guy looks exactly like the guy and he's wearing green
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: neon shorts. I mean, the odds of this, so they
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: had pretty good reason to think that was the guy.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: And I mean you could argue that this guy, I mean,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you can't even argue it is true. This guy is
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: committing a crime. He's resisting arrest. You can't do that.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: You have to submit to the arrest and then get
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: it straighten out. But they are beating them and punching them,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and you know, when you got that video, it doesn't
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: look good, and you got Mamdani as mayor, and you
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: got a certain atmosphere on now. So the guy was
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: not charged with resisting arrest and the cops have had
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: their guns and shields taken away. His name is Timothy Brown.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: He's forty six. If you saw the video yesterday, he's
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a sympathetic guy. He's an articulate guy. He'd be great
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: on the witness stand. That's a problem, you know, you'd
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: probably have a big problem if he testifies. Now, he
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: came in with a neck brace and he's on crutches
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and he's bandaged up all over. Now people are pointing
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: out the day after the beating, when he was on TV,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: he didn't have all of that stuff. It's like the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: old gangsters in Casino. You know, as soon as they're indicted,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: they got a neck brace, they got crushed. They're in
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a wheelchair. So he's suing for one hundred million. The
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: city will probably settle it. They're not going to want
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to take this to court. Again, he's a good sympathetic figure,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a good talker. They're not going to want to take
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: this to court, so they'll settle, probably, I hate to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: say it, probably fifty million. Now, normally it'd settled this
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: for twenty million. But it's Mom, Donnie, and you know
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: how he just throws away taxpayer money left and right.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: If he'll spend fifty if he'll spend thirty million for
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: a grocery store, he'll spend fifty million to settle this.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: So this guy's going to do very very very well. Uh.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Price of oil we'll get to I Ran coming up.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about Iran. The price of oil, for some
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: reason just spiked briefly. It went up to one hundred
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and twenty six dollars. Again, it was all over the news,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: breaking news. Oil has spiked a one twenty six. This
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: is all you kept hearing, ending where you turned New
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: York Times. It just dropped twenty one points. No mention
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: into this anywhere, the SPI I didn't know what the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: cause of spike. It went up one twenty six. It's
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: now one oh four. The spike is breaking news. That's
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: all you've heard on MSNBC. It just dropped twenty one
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: points and no mention of it. No mention of it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: They don't mention it anyway. We got a lot to
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: get to. We'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten
