Speaker 1: They'll mark some own show live from the w o
0:03
Speaker 1: R Life back studios.
0:07
Speaker 2: Hey, another beautiful day to day. It's Thursday. We got
0:10
Speaker 2: a lot to get to Big Knick's victory last night.
0:12
Speaker 2: We'll get to President Trump. Iran. We'll get to Rubio
0:18
Speaker 2: with fiery yesterday, Marco Rubio great in the hearings yesterday.
0:22
Speaker 2: We'll get to crazy Scott Pelley, the most sanct demonious,
0:28
Speaker 2: pompous asked in the history of broadcasting. We'll tell you
0:31
Speaker 2: what he was up to yesterday. We'll get to the Nicks,
0:33
Speaker 2: of course, and a whole lot more. Iran. It's it's
0:39
Speaker 2: a ceasefire that's not really a ceasefire. Things are going on.
0:43
Speaker 2: Hesbla firing rockets again this morning. Israel. You know, had
0:49
Speaker 2: Prime Minister net Yahoo that screaming phone call with President Trump.
0:54
Speaker 2: What the heff you do with it? But they got
0:56
Speaker 2: to respond. They'll have to respond, so expect that a
0:58
Speaker 2: little later today this they'll probably coordinate better with the
1:02
Speaker 2: White House. Iran. It looks like we don't know what
1:07
Speaker 2: we're doing. It looks like you watch the crazy MSNBC shows,
1:12
Speaker 2: those type of things. But even if you listen to
1:14
Speaker 2: some Repulicans say, I can't believe he went in without
1:16
Speaker 2: a plan. I can't believe he doesn't it. Well, it's
1:20
Speaker 2: a lot more of a plan than you think. A
1:23
Speaker 2: lot of this is deliberate, deliberately looking like he has
1:26
Speaker 2: no plan, deliberately looking like they don't know what to
1:28
Speaker 2: do next. They kind of like this current situation straight
1:32
Speaker 2: over Moose closed. It's draining Iran completely financially. Inflation in
1:38
Speaker 2: Iran is now at eighty percent, and it's getting to
1:41
Speaker 2: the point where we're looking for people to rise up
1:43
Speaker 2: and just take over the government. But it hasn't happened
1:47
Speaker 2: so far. But right now people are totally out of money,
1:49
Speaker 2: totally starving. This could change pretty soon. Now. You gotta
1:56
Speaker 2: do something at some point because the entire world oil
2:00
Speaker 2: supply is running dry. We've used up about all the
2:03
Speaker 2: reserves around the world. We have plenty of oil in
2:05
Speaker 2: this country. We are the biggest oil producer in the world.
2:08
Speaker 2: We produce a lot more oil than we need now
2:12
Speaker 2: thanks to President Trump. But around the world, you got
2:15
Speaker 2: to make sure they don't run dry, otherwise it could
2:17
Speaker 2: drive the price up to one hundred and seventy dollars
2:20
Speaker 2: a gallon. That would translate to six or seven dollars
2:23
Speaker 2: at the pump, So you'll have to do something in
2:25
Speaker 2: the next few weeks. The House passed this War Powers
2:29
Speaker 2: resolution that the President cannot go to war in Iran.
2:32
Speaker 2: It sounds dramatic, it doesn't mean a thing. It's a
2:35
Speaker 2: totally meaningless thing the House can pass. It doesn't go anywhere.
2:38
Speaker 2: It's not going to get anywhere in the Senate. Even
2:41
Speaker 2: if it did, I don't think the President would follow
2:43
Speaker 2: it anyway. So, hey, Marco Rubio. It was always thought
2:48
Speaker 2: that JD. Vance Worth up front runner for twenty twenty eight,
2:52
Speaker 2: but Rubio pulling ahead. You know, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt
2:58
Speaker 2: is on maternity leave, so one day Rubio filled in.
3:01
Speaker 2: He was dazzling. He was brilliant, explaining everything, and he
3:05
Speaker 2: was great making fun of the press attack and the press.
3:08
Speaker 2: So that kind of put him ahead of JD. Van
3:10
Speaker 2: So they let JD. Vance do the press conference one day.
3:14
Speaker 2: It was good, but it wasn't Marco Rubio. And yesterday
3:18
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill, Rubio was great. You know, these hearings,
3:24
Speaker 2: these congressional hearings, they just get a Republican in there,
3:27
Speaker 2: a Trump person in there, and beat them up like crazy.
3:30
Speaker 2: They just accuse him of everything, and then they don't
3:33
Speaker 2: let the person answer. Democrats are great at hearings. They're
3:37
Speaker 2: great at it. I mean as far as getting viral video,
3:40
Speaker 2: as far as getting TV video. Republicans think at it.
3:44
Speaker 2: They ask real questions, they wait and let the person answer.
3:47
Speaker 2: It's not as good for viral stuff. But it's just
3:51
Speaker 2: this first guy calling Rubio a liar. The Rubio is
3:56
Speaker 2: covering up the President Trump is total mental decline.
4:00
Speaker 3: You know.
4:00
Speaker 2: They make up something like a pedophile or he's got
4:03
Speaker 2: cognitive problems, and they make up this thing, and then
4:06
Speaker 2: they all spread it around, and they tell the lie
4:08
Speaker 2: so many times that they forgot they made it up.
4:12
Speaker 2: They really come to believe it. But they've convinced themselves
4:15
Speaker 2: the President Trump is in total cognitive decline and Rubio's
4:18
Speaker 2: covering it up.
4:19
Speaker 4: The American people deserve the truth.
4:22
Speaker 2: I yield back.
4:24
Speaker 5: I don't even know how to respond to that, other
4:26
Speaker 5: than to tell you that it's absurd and ridiculous and
4:28
Speaker 5: I can't believe we're in a Foreign Affairs committee meeting
4:30
Speaker 5: in front of the House, an important time in American
4:32
Speaker 5: foreign policy. Just keep lying, just keep on supposedly someone
4:36
Speaker 5: who thinks he's a medical expert when he's not. The
4:38
Speaker 5: truth of the matter is we had a cognitively impaired
4:41
Speaker 5: president in office a few years ago. That's a cognitively
4:43
Speaker 5: impaired president. But I don't like to talk about that
4:45
Speaker 5: because it weakens America.
4:48
Speaker 2: That's the nicest exchange. It gets worse. So what they do.
4:51
Speaker 2: They'll ask you the worst question in the world, accusing
4:54
Speaker 2: you of everything on earth, and then they don't let
4:56
Speaker 2: you answer. If you try to answer, they start. You
4:58
Speaker 2: could be one two words in the you're answering, they're
5:00
Speaker 2: cutting you off.
5:01
Speaker 6: Secretary of Rubio, why did the State Department approve the
5:03
Speaker 6: thirty million dollars to g h F at a time
5:06
Speaker 6: when other well tested agencies were there and able to
5:10
Speaker 6: provide distribution.
5:11
Speaker 5: Well, because one of those were Inhos with Hamas, and
5:15
Speaker 5: we saw an incredible amount of the aid flo into Hamas's.
5:18
Speaker 6: Hands, reclaiming my time. The aid was.
5:20
Speaker 2: Here by Israel and the rules.
5:23
Speaker 5: You can't even answer a question.
5:24
Speaker 6: You're not following the rules. You're very familiar with how
5:27
Speaker 6: this works.
5:27
Speaker 5: No, never served a weird rules. You ask the question
5:30
Speaker 5: and I can't answer.
5:34
Speaker 2: That's what they do. If you say tours reclaiming my time,
5:37
Speaker 2: I'm reclaiming my time.
5:38
Speaker 5: It's absolutely wrong about the way the money flows. It's
5:41
Speaker 5: pretty so straightforward, and I'll share I'm going to have.
5:43
Speaker 4: To reclaim the time again.
5:45
Speaker 5: So what kind of processes they get to answer? Ask questions?
5:47
Speaker 5: You don't get to answer. It's my time, the question,
5:52
Speaker 5: So why am I here? But I don't get to
5:53
Speaker 5: answer your questions? And your defamer reclaiming my time?
5:56
Speaker 2: Reclaim?
5:57
Speaker 5: But I want to reclaim?
5:58
Speaker 2: Do I get time?
5:59
Speaker 5: Because you makes the Palma's Horse parents and no one
6:01
Speaker 5: can talk here.
6:02
Speaker 1: He's crazy.
6:04
Speaker 2: It's really ridiculous, but it works. They get their viral
6:08
Speaker 2: videos and then they run them all over CNN, and hey,
6:11
Speaker 2: Scott Besson had to testify in front of gay This
6:13
Speaker 2: is pretty good. Somehow, I don't know what they're they're
6:17
Speaker 2: accusing him of anything and everything. And this Widen, the
6:20
Speaker 2: Senator Widen, believe it or not, he's pushing that there's
6:26
Speaker 2: an Epstein scandal. You got to investigate the Epstein files,
6:28
Speaker 2: the Epstein list that well, turns out this guy's son
6:33
Speaker 2: is all tangled up with Epstein. The son's all through
6:35
Speaker 2: the Epstein files. Widen's son runs some sort of hedge fund,
6:39
Speaker 2: some kind of fund, and he went to Epstein and
6:42
Speaker 2: saw him in his house a number of times asking
6:44
Speaker 2: for money. So Widen starts in on this investment, starts
6:48
Speaker 2: bringing up Epstein, your son in Epstein.
6:50
Speaker 7: We would like to hear what Adam Widen and Jeffrey
6:53
Speaker 7: Epstein talked about. Your son's largest investment position was Rick's cabaret.
6:59
Speaker 7: So did your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole
7:02
Speaker 7: dancing as he begged him for money using your limited credibility?
7:08
Speaker 2: So we don't have the clipper. But apparently Wyden got
7:11
Speaker 2: crazy and said, I'm not going to answer anything from
7:14
Speaker 2: the capo of the worst crime family in America. What
7:18
Speaker 2: for that means? But that's crazy Democrats, totally hysterical, hyperbolic.
7:23
Speaker 2: So hey, the Knicks last night, big, big, big first
7:26
Speaker 2: game win. Knicks behind, way behind, but came alive in
7:30
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. Of these Nicks all these what is
7:33
Speaker 2: it eleven twelve victories in a row. I mean, they
7:35
Speaker 2: definitely definitely got a lot of swagger, confidence and they
7:39
Speaker 2: can pull themselves together. It was an incredible win.
7:41
Speaker 1: It crunts it on the drive Spence Undernea, puts.
7:46
Speaker 4: It out, puts it in, Janalen cruts it, does it again.
7:49
Speaker 6: HiT's a six point league but thirty seven seconds left.
7:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty good, pretty amazing. They have these watch parties.
7:56
Speaker 2: That was one outside in Madison Square Garden. That was great.
8:00
Speaker 2: People yelling. But I notice they're all you watch these
8:03
Speaker 2: watch parties. Everything's everybody's eighteen nineteen years old that they
8:06
Speaker 2: really know about the Knicks. I guess, but they're eighteen
8:09
Speaker 2: or nineteen. You go to anything that's called a watch party,
8:13
Speaker 2: watch anything, though, those a show up for it. Hey,
8:17
Speaker 2: President Trump was great yesterday talking about crazy Jill Biden.
8:23
Speaker 2: It's the worst rollout of a book ever. It's only
8:26
Speaker 2: like number fifty on Amazon. And the reason they put
8:30
Speaker 2: it out now. You want to try to be at
8:33
Speaker 2: the top of the bestseller list in your first week.
8:36
Speaker 2: The reason they put it out now is June. This
8:39
Speaker 2: part of June, beginning of June, first week of June
8:42
Speaker 2: is the lowest week of the year for book sales.
8:45
Speaker 2: For whatever reason. Look around Christmas Christmas season, books sales
8:50
Speaker 2: are way up, way up because everybody's buying them for
8:52
Speaker 2: gifts or whatever. The fall people buy books, but right now.
8:56
Speaker 2: This week every year it's the lowest sales week of
8:59
Speaker 2: the year, so that's why she released it this week.
9:03
Speaker 2: Because it's such a low sales week. You don't have
9:05
Speaker 2: to sell too many books to get to be number one.
9:08
Speaker 2: Another time of year, you'd have to sell a ton
9:10
Speaker 2: of books to be number one, but during this week,
9:13
Speaker 2: you don't have to sell that many and you can
9:14
Speaker 2: be high on the list. But it's a terrible book.
9:18
Speaker 2: Everybody that's read it said, it's just a ridiculous book.
9:22
Speaker 2: I mean, just nothing to say. Horrible writer, which is funny.
9:26
Speaker 2: She's an English teacher, although not a big English teacher,
9:29
Speaker 2: teaches it a community Delaware Community College. But terrible book.
9:34
Speaker 2: And she had to make up all these lives and
9:38
Speaker 2: the presidential debate, it was pretty clear Biden had total
9:42
Speaker 2: cognitive impairment, couldn't talk, couldn't finish a sentence. So she
9:46
Speaker 2: has to explain this. So she first said, I thought
9:49
Speaker 2: he was having a stroke, which is a lie. She
9:51
Speaker 2: didn't think that. She sees them like that every day.
9:54
Speaker 2: It was to imply that, oh, I've never seen him
9:56
Speaker 2: like this before this, he must be having a stroke.
9:59
Speaker 2: He's never liked this. Then the problem is we know
10:03
Speaker 2: that right afterwards she'd made this whole speech, but how
10:05
Speaker 2: brilliant he was, and they she took him to a
10:08
Speaker 2: party at the waffle house. If you're think you're having
10:10
Speaker 2: a stroke, waffles aren't really a good cure, So that
10:13
Speaker 2: didn't make any sense. Then she kept changing the lie
10:16
Speaker 2: every day. So the next day of the lie was well,
10:19
Speaker 2: there were doctors backstage. Had they looked at him and said,
10:21
Speaker 2: he's fine, He's okay. Nobody's falling for any of this.
10:24
Speaker 2: But President Trump, Miranda Devine asked him.
10:27
Speaker 1: About this, so she said, he had a stroke, But
10:29
Speaker 1: why would she bring him to a waffle house?
10:31
Speaker 4: If you had a.
10:32
Speaker 8: Would your wife have allowed you to go off to
10:34
Speaker 8: a waffle house?
10:35
Speaker 6: If she will you having a stroke?
10:39
Speaker 4: You know, although I would. Actually it's not so bad.
10:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's stop saying waffle house. I'm getting
10:43
Speaker 2: hungry here. So hey, yesterday Scott Pelley, Uh, this guy
10:49
Speaker 2: is the biggest most arrogant fake news pampus ass in
10:55
Speaker 2: the history of the world. Totally delusional. Now they've all
11:00
Speaker 2: convinced themselves. You see this all over the place, all
11:03
Speaker 2: over fake news television. You see it all over left
11:06
Speaker 2: wing stuff online. They've all convinced themselves he was fired
11:10
Speaker 2: because of President Trump, something to do with President Trump.
11:13
Speaker 2: They've convinced themselves President Trump is the reason Stephen Colbert
11:18
Speaker 2: was fired, the reason Scott Pelley was fired. Now you
11:21
Speaker 2: look at both cases. Colbert has no viewers, the show's
11:25
Speaker 2: losing forty million a year, and CBS not doing very well.
11:30
Speaker 2: You know, everything is down, ratings, revenue, everything is dramatically
11:34
Speaker 2: down over the years at CBS. So whenever you get
11:36
Speaker 2: a new owner, first thing a new owner does is
11:39
Speaker 2: look at what's losing money. What's the biggest financial disasters. Yeah,
11:43
Speaker 2: that's what a new owner does. You try to clean
11:45
Speaker 2: it up, you know, you try to trim the fat.
11:48
Speaker 2: So this guy's losing forty million a year, that's the
11:51
Speaker 2: reason he's gone sixty minutes. Ratings are down dramatically. Oh,
11:55
Speaker 2: I know, we're up ten percent from last year. Yeah,
11:58
Speaker 2: but you're down ninety percent from ten years ago. So
12:02
Speaker 2: they convinced themselves this is all political.
12:04
Speaker 4: Now.
12:04
Speaker 2: The new owner of CBS is David Ellison, son of
12:08
Speaker 2: Larry Ellison. David Ellison, everybody that knows it will tell
12:11
Speaker 2: you is not a political guy. He's not particularly political.
12:15
Speaker 2: Is he a Republican or a Democrat? Nobody knows because
12:17
Speaker 2: he's not into politics, couldn't care less. And the new
12:21
Speaker 2: CBS president, Barry Weiss, it keeps getting lost in the
12:26
Speaker 2: shuffle here. You keep forgetting she's a Democrat. She's not
12:29
Speaker 2: a Republican, she's not a Trump supporter. She's a Democrat.
12:33
Speaker 2: But the problem is she's a normal Democrat, like an
12:36
Speaker 2: old fashioned Bill Clinton Democrat. She's not a crazy, woke
12:40
Speaker 2: left wing Trump derangement syndrome kook. She's a Bill Clinton Democrat.
12:45
Speaker 2: And these other people have gone so far to the
12:48
Speaker 2: left that to them, an actual Democrat is now a Republican.
12:52
Speaker 2: So it's not political. Apparently, Barry Weiss. Now the reason
12:58
Speaker 2: Scott Pelly got himself fired. I mean he was, you know,
13:01
Speaker 2: questionable character anyways, getting millions of dollars, delivering nothing that
13:05
Speaker 2: really does anything for anybody, and he's running fake news
13:08
Speaker 2: all the time. You know. Ever since he's gone, everybody's
13:11
Speaker 2: posting all the fake news he pushed through the years,
13:14
Speaker 2: all of them. They pushed the fake Russia hoax. They've
13:17
Speaker 2: covered up the laptop, claimed it was for Russian disinformation,
13:21
Speaker 2: They denied the wire tapping at Trump, the fake news
13:26
Speaker 2: they tried that fake Ron Desanta scandal that they made up,
13:30
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. So apparently Berrywise, you know,
13:35
Speaker 2: you got to decide do we really need this guy.
13:37
Speaker 2: Then they have the town hall meeting with the new boss,
13:42
Speaker 2: and he stands up and starts cursing and screaming at
13:45
Speaker 2: the guy, telling him he's incompetent, you're murdering the place,
13:47
Speaker 2: tells the guy off, humiliates the guy in front of
13:49
Speaker 2: the stet horrible. You can't do that anywhere and not
13:52
Speaker 2: get fired. So the next day they said, let's sit
13:56
Speaker 2: down and talk and we'll work this out. What you're
13:59
Speaker 2: what you're angry about. And they try to talk and
14:02
Speaker 2: he's even worse, tells him off even more, so they
14:05
Speaker 2: realize nothing can be done. So apparently she called David Ellison,
14:09
Speaker 2: the new CEO of Skydance Paramount Skydance, and told him
14:15
Speaker 2: she doesn't know she should fire him or not. And
14:17
Speaker 2: he's the only thing he said, he said, what's your
14:21
Speaker 2: tolerance for pain? So, in other words, he said, if
14:25
Speaker 2: you can take the pain, keep the guy around. But
14:27
Speaker 2: if you don't want to take all this pain all
14:28
Speaker 2: the time, from just get rid of him. So he's gone.
14:32
Speaker 2: He's been putting out all kinds of nonsense statements. He
14:37
Speaker 2: wrote a letter to the whole staff. This is Scott Pelly. Now,
14:41
Speaker 2: the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside,
14:45
Speaker 2: apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administer.
14:52
Speaker 2: Last month, sixty minutes lost his DNA when the entire
14:56
Speaker 2: senior leadership and two of our best on air correspond
15:00
Speaker 2: and were cruelly, cruelly fired. I don't think they were
15:03
Speaker 2: cruelly fired. Don't think they got a nice severance and
15:05
Speaker 2: all that they stood for fairness against the forces of
15:08
Speaker 2: political bias. He's the political bias. He's the worst political
15:13
Speaker 2: bias we've ever seen. This goes on and on and on. Uh.
15:18
Speaker 2: For for my part, oh here, listen to this. Actually,
15:22
Speaker 2: I think they can end up suing him. They could
15:23
Speaker 2: really sue him. They got a hell of a case
15:25
Speaker 2: against this guy. They should take him into court and
15:27
Speaker 2: sue him. He says, for my part, new management has
15:30
Speaker 2: instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a political story.
15:37
Speaker 2: Now this is not true. They don't didn't order him
15:39
Speaker 2: to inject falsehoods in there. They ordered me to inject
15:44
Speaker 2: falsehoods and bias. I've been I've been told to include
15:49
Speaker 2: assertions that are unverified. Now what he really is saying,
15:54
Speaker 2: you know, he gives no examples because there aren't. What
15:57
Speaker 2: they really did was when he was doing one of
15:59
Speaker 2: these hatches jobs on Trump or on some Republican they
16:03
Speaker 2: told him, you've got to go to the other side
16:05
Speaker 2: and get quotes from them. You've got to let the
16:08
Speaker 2: other side respond. That's what he's referring to. To him
16:12
Speaker 2: that was injecting falsehoods and assertations that were false. They
16:16
Speaker 2: were just telling him you can't just do a one
16:19
Speaker 2: sided hit job on somebody. You got to give the
16:21
Speaker 2: other side a chance to respond, which he refused to do. Anyway, Well,
16:26
Speaker 2: we've got a lot to We'll get back to Scott Pelley.
16:27
Speaker 2: You got a lot to talk about. We'll take some calls. Next.

Speaker 2: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten

17:00
Speaker 3: been listening to you since January of twenty twenty. I
17:02
Speaker 3: enjoy your show, especially Vincent, and I'm an avid listener.
17:06
Speaker 2: So well, thanks. Where are you in Florida?
17:10
Speaker 3: And Jacksonville Beach is just south of Savannah if you
17:13
Speaker 3: know where that is. Yeah, but beautiful weather here today
17:17
Speaker 3: was one hundred degrees Dallas.
17:19
Speaker 2: Say what they tell you it's beautiful? Was it one
17:21
Speaker 2: hundred degrees? And you got lizards crawling all.
17:23
Speaker 3: Over you now?
17:25
Speaker 2: And hurricanes?
17:26
Speaker 3: Eighties? Right now, we've got a couple of weeks of
17:28
Speaker 3: good weather, so.
17:29
Speaker 2: Okay, so low eighties. What's going to be at three
17:31
Speaker 2: o'clock nineties?
17:33
Speaker 3: Probably one hundred?
17:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see you guys, try to cover that up,
17:37
Speaker 2: all right, go ahead.
17:39
Speaker 3: But one time I lived in Dallas, Texas.
17:41
Speaker 2: If you call that living, but okay, okay.
17:45
Speaker 3: Uh, and work for the transit agency there. And I've
17:48
Speaker 3: met Scott when I was a PR guy and he
17:50
Speaker 3: was interviewing me for some stuff.
17:52
Speaker 2: We met Scott best.
17:53
Speaker 3: I just want to say, just make an observaby who.
17:55
Speaker 2: You meet, Who did you meet Scott Besson, Scott telling Oh,
18:00
Speaker 2: Scott Pelley, Oh okay.
18:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, when he was with w FAA, And you know,
18:05
Speaker 3: something happened. I mean, the several reporters from there were
18:08
Speaker 3: picked up and went to d C in various jobs.
18:11
Speaker 3: And it seems like they and we stayed in touch
18:13
Speaker 3: over time, but not not with Scott but others. But
18:16
Speaker 3: it seems like something happens when they go to d C.
18:17
Speaker 3: They just totally lose their minds because in journalism school,
18:21
Speaker 3: I started out as a report and they told you,
18:24
Speaker 3: you know, you're justus to get both sides of the
18:26
Speaker 3: story and with the public or the reader decide what's
18:28
Speaker 3: truth is. And it's like they forget that when they
18:31
Speaker 3: go to d C. I don't know what happens. They
18:32
Speaker 3: go nationally, yeah, just an observation.
18:35
Speaker 2: Well Ron, great, call call us again sometime. Yeah. Well
18:37
Speaker 2: they become these left wing CBS people and then that's
18:42
Speaker 2: bad enough, but then Trump comes along and he just
18:46
Speaker 2: sets them off. It's Trump the arrangement syndrome. They just
18:49
Speaker 2: go they feel that he is so evil that they
18:52
Speaker 2: have to take the gloves off and do whatever they
18:53
Speaker 2: have to do to get this guy. Mind me to
18:56
Speaker 2: talk about that later. How this CBS was always a
18:58
Speaker 2: little left wing, but what it was really Dan rather
19:02
Speaker 2: that changed everything. Well, we'll get to that coming up.
19:04
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mara in Nevada.
19:06
Speaker 8: Mara, how you doing so good, chow Vincent Mark. Trump
19:10
Speaker 8: has been a brilliant negotiator most of his life, but
19:13
Speaker 8: he's been negotiating with brick and mortar. Brick and mortar
19:17
Speaker 8: does not bleed, brick and mortar does not die. He's
19:20
Speaker 8: not a wartime president. He doesn't know how to go
19:24
Speaker 8: in and have innocent people killed. He can't do it marketing.
19:28
Speaker 2: Well, I think you're getting a little a little over
19:32
Speaker 2: the top there with all of that. Now, listen, he's
19:34
Speaker 2: been pretty good at a wartime president. He's been pretty
19:37
Speaker 2: good at military stuff. You have a good point in that.
19:41
Speaker 2: All his life he's a brilliant negotiator, but he's been
19:44
Speaker 2: negotiating with business people, with real estate developers, with unions.
19:49
Speaker 2: It's business. He's never had to negotiate with fanatical lunatics
19:53
Speaker 2: that aren't in a business, so that you're right, that's
19:56
Speaker 2: a little different. But he'll figure it out if he
19:58
Speaker 2: hasn't already let's go to uh Rich Myrtle beach Rich,
20:03
Speaker 2: how you doing, Thanks, Bakino.
20:05
Speaker 9: Mat has actually got a point there. I wasn't going
20:07
Speaker 9: to bring this up, but you know, just like you said,
20:09
Speaker 9: Trump can be too nice sometimes, like he didn't go
20:11
Speaker 9: after hill Wharie once he got elected when he really
20:13
Speaker 9: should have gone after that foundation. But you know the
20:16
Speaker 9: point you're making about CBS. You know, I haven't watched
20:20
Speaker 9: anything unless it's a major sporting event. It's probably been fifteen,
20:23
Speaker 9: twenty twenty five years since I've watched anything on a
20:27
Speaker 9: lamestream media network, CBS, NBC, ABC, There's absolutely nothing to watch.
20:31
Speaker 9: The sitcoms to Horrible is zeroing to watch in those
20:35
Speaker 9: stations unless it's an actual major sporting event.
20:38
Speaker 2: Let me think, is there anything I watch on network TV?
20:41
Speaker 2: I mean I watched the news, I watch, I watched
20:45
Speaker 2: the Sunday shows. I don't know why nobody else does.
20:48
Speaker 9: I don't know why you're doing. I still love the
20:50
Speaker 9: McLaughlin group. In the old days, I used to love
20:52
Speaker 9: John McLaughlin.
20:53
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll tell you the only thing I watched Blue Bloods.
20:56
Speaker 2: That was the one thing I watched, And now I
20:57
Speaker 2: watch Boston Blue. It's not the same.
21:02
Speaker 9: Like you said, Marcus, no reason to watch sixty minutes anymore.
21:06
Speaker 9: There's no reason to watch anything on network TV with
21:09
Speaker 9: ten million channels, on direct TV, Dish, or even on cable.
21:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you're right, that's a very good point. Let's
21:15
Speaker 2: go to George in Connecticut. George, how you doing.
21:19
Speaker 4: I am doing very well. Thank you for taking my call.
21:22
Speaker 4: I wanted to share something that my wife shared with
21:24
Speaker 4: me just last night that gave a different perspective on
21:27
Speaker 4: why Trump is not quote finishing the job. And I
21:31
Speaker 4: think one of the reasons is that Trump wants to
21:34
Speaker 4: get a coalition in the Gulf countries to come together
21:37
Speaker 4: and join the Abraham Accords, and the best way to
21:40
Speaker 4: do that is by allowing what's going on over there
21:44
Speaker 4: so that it motivates Kuwait, buff Rain, all these other
21:49
Speaker 4: Gulf countries. They've joined the thing.
21:51
Speaker 2: They've been working on. Apparently they had Kuwait and Cutter
21:54
Speaker 2: ready to go. This is about two three weeks ago,
21:56
Speaker 2: and then they all backed out at the last minute.
21:58
Speaker 2: But he's also waiting because this is a good situation
22:01
Speaker 2: for us. It's totally totally draining the economy, the finances,
22:05
Speaker 2: everything in Iran, so The longer we wait, the more
22:08
Speaker 2: it hurts them. But anytime we went he can finish.
22:11
Speaker 4: It provides additional motivation for them to join the Abraham Accords.
22:15
Speaker 4: And I think, by the way, that also is one
22:16
Speaker 4: of the reasons why he was mad at bebe Nut
22:18
Speaker 4: and Yahoo by getting into Lebanon, and not just.
22:23
Speaker 2: The hes bloggay. But that's been taken out of context,
22:26
Speaker 2: that whole I mean, he did yell at he's cursy
22:29
Speaker 2: uh And as he pointed out, he does that all
22:31
Speaker 2: the time with everybody. You know what he's using the effort.
22:33
Speaker 2: Are you efing crazy? What the f is wrong? That's
22:36
Speaker 2: normal conversation. He does that all the time with everybody,
22:39
Speaker 2: and every president does behind the scenes. In fact, there
22:43
Speaker 2: was a famous uhya who was in the Oval office
22:46
Speaker 2: and Clinton told him off, cursing and screaming, right in
22:49
Speaker 2: front of everybody. It happens all the time. Hey, when
22:51
Speaker 2: we come back the we hope the brilliant Steve Moore
22:55
Speaker 2: will be with us next. The great Economists will talk
22:57
Speaker 2: to him in a moment on seven to ten, double your.
23:01
Speaker 1: It's more, Mark Simone, are well, Steve Moore, the brilliant Economists,
23:10
Speaker 1: great columnists, and of course you see them all over television.
23:12
Speaker 2: You should get his latest book, The Trump Economic Miracle.
23:16
Speaker 2: It's a great book. You'll learn a lot. And then
23:18
Speaker 2: he runs the Committee to Unleash Prosperity and every day
23:21
Speaker 2: they put out the best daily briefing, news analysis. It's free.
23:25
Speaker 2: It'll come right to your email every morning. You'll love it.
23:28
Speaker 2: Just go to Unleash Prosperity dot com. Unleash Prosperity dot
23:33
Speaker 2: com and sign up. Steve Moore, how you doing.
23:37
Speaker 4: I'm doing well, Mark, and I think we're gonna you know,
23:39
Speaker 4: tomorrow morning we get a new jobs report, and I
23:42
Speaker 4: think all indications are we're gonna give a pretty healthy
23:45
Speaker 4: number for employment. Businesses are hiring again. And you know,
23:50
Speaker 4: if you look over the last couple of weeks, almost
23:54
Speaker 4: all of the economic news has been positive. You're seeing
24:00
Speaker 4: a lot of employment, you're seeing a lot of investment
24:05
Speaker 4: by businesses. We saw a big manufacturing report that Larry
24:09
Speaker 4: Cobbo was talking about on the show last night. So
24:13
Speaker 4: it's even despite the fact that we're paying a lot
24:15
Speaker 4: for energy and that's been a real downer for the economy.
24:19
Speaker 4: The resilience and durability of this economy is incredible, and
24:23
Speaker 4: I think part of that is the big beautiful bill
24:25
Speaker 4: that every Democrat voted against.
24:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, although I'm watching MSNBC Morning Shoe this morning and
24:31
Speaker 2: they're talking about and he said, as Americans struggled to
24:35
Speaker 2: pay their bills in this troubling economy. Now Democrats run
24:39
Speaker 2: around repeating that.
24:40
Speaker 4: What I mean, Look, everybody's mad about grocery prices. Everybody's
24:48
Speaker 4: angry about gas prices. Of course, I mean those are
24:51
Speaker 4: up a lot. And you know, God, we've tried to
24:54
Speaker 4: buy a Hamburger lately, or of stake. You know, those
24:57
Speaker 4: costs are up a lot. But the on me, despite
25:01
Speaker 4: those higher prices, you know, is really moving ahead.
25:05
Speaker 2: For it.
25:05
Speaker 4: By the way, we have all time highs on the
25:06
Speaker 4: stock market.
25:07
Speaker 9: Now.
25:07
Speaker 4: I know somebody say, well, that's only for rich people,
25:09
Speaker 4: No it's not. I mean virtually every middle class worker
25:12
Speaker 4: has there all their retirement savings in the stock market.
25:16
Speaker 4: So when that does better, America does better, and workers
25:19
Speaker 4: do better. So I see an economy that is it
25:23
Speaker 4: is getting.
25:24
Speaker 2: Better every week.
25:26
Speaker 4: And if you know, if I say this every week
25:28
Speaker 4: on your show, if we can get this situation in
25:30
Speaker 4: the least settled, I think you're going to see one
25:32
Speaker 4: of those great economic booms.
25:35
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, if I had a restaurant and all of
25:39
Speaker 2: a sudden, all my customers were eating a restaurant across
25:42
Speaker 2: the street, they left me and they're all eating over there.
25:44
Speaker 2: I go over there and I see what are they
25:45
Speaker 2: doing that? How come states don't do this when companies leave,
25:50
Speaker 2: they're all going to Texas. They're all going to Florida.
25:53
Speaker 2: You just had another one to leave and go to Texas.
25:55
Speaker 2: Why don't they try to do what Texas does? Steve Moore?
26:02
Speaker 2: Do we lose you? Did we lose him? Oh, we'll
26:07
Speaker 2: call you back. Uh, No, he's gone. What do we
26:12
Speaker 2: have them back? Let me see. Yeah. The big thing
26:17
Speaker 2: is Samsung just announced they're pulling out of New Jersey.
26:20
Speaker 2: We have Steve Moore back. No, well he was here
26:25
Speaker 2: for a minute, which is good. Yeah. Samsung, major business
26:31
Speaker 2: that was operating in New Jersey, huge footprint in New Jersey,
26:35
Speaker 2: announces they're leaving, closing everything down and moving it to Texas.
26:39
Speaker 2: So you would think if you were a state and
26:42
Speaker 2: one by one by one, your biggest taxpayers, and your
26:46
Speaker 2: biggest companies and your biggest employers are leaving you and
26:50
Speaker 2: moving to Florida. Many of them now moving to Texas.
26:53
Speaker 2: You would think you'd go down there and talk to
26:56
Speaker 2: them and see what they're doing. I mean, in any
26:58
Speaker 2: other business, if we were in the I guess, let's
27:01
Speaker 2: say you're in the radio business. All of a sudden,
27:03
Speaker 2: the other station takes off. They're doing great. You look
27:05
Speaker 2: at what they're doing, but not with pologies. Steve Moore,
27:09
Speaker 2: are you there?
27:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess the goblins didn't want me to talk
27:13
Speaker 4: to you. But you know, I was just saying that
27:16
Speaker 4: blue states like New York, New Jersey, California, my home
27:20
Speaker 4: state of Illinois, need to be more like Texas and
27:23
Speaker 4: Florida and Utah and states that are really booming. And
27:26
Speaker 4: you're seeing more and more of these companies moving out
27:29
Speaker 4: of New York and New Jersey. You saw Exon, one
27:32
Speaker 4: of our iconic companies in America, moved out of New
27:35
Speaker 4: Jersey into Texas. And now the latest of Samsung is
27:39
Speaker 4: moving out of I think it's New.
27:42
Speaker 2: York, New Jersey.
27:43
Speaker 4: So yeah, why don't these blue states get it? Why
27:46
Speaker 4: don't they change in a way that makes them pro business,
27:49
Speaker 4: because you can't have jobs without businesses.
27:51
Speaker 9: Folks.
27:53
Speaker 2: Also, they claim to love tax revenue, but these are
27:57
Speaker 2: your biggest tax revenue, the billionaires to companies. But what
28:03
Speaker 2: is it about democrats that they never learned They can
28:05
Speaker 2: make the same mistake a billion times and never stop making.
28:08
Speaker 4: Well, there's a kind of a war now against wealth.
28:11
Speaker 4: Did you see your good friend Bernie Sanders says he
28:13
Speaker 4: wants the government to take a fifty percent ownership of
28:17
Speaker 4: all the tech companies in America. Can you imagine Bernie
28:19
Speaker 4: Sanders running a company?
28:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, a phone made by Bernie Sanders. That's going to
28:26
Speaker 2: really yeah?
28:27
Speaker 4: Right. So, I mean, look, you have to treat businesses kindly.
28:31
Speaker 4: And a lot of these politicians they've never run a business.
28:33
Speaker 4: They don't know how hard it is to me to
28:35
Speaker 4: payroll and to employe people and make a product people want.
28:39
Speaker 4: I mean, I hear AOC talking about these big, bad
28:41
Speaker 4: businesses and how greedy they are. Mike, Well, AOC, why
28:44
Speaker 4: don't you go out start a business? Tell us what
28:47
Speaker 4: you think?
28:48
Speaker 9: How was it?
28:49
Speaker 4: You know, there's so many famous stories of liberals who said, gee,
28:52
Speaker 4: I had no idea until I tried to start a business.
28:54
Speaker 4: What effect taxes and regulation have on trying to make
28:59
Speaker 4: a profit? And by the way, folks, is not a
29:01
Speaker 4: dirty word. Without profits, we would have no businesses.
29:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, and most of these guys when they get that profit,
29:07
Speaker 2: what do they do? They spend it? And businesses spend
29:09
Speaker 2: it over and over again. Yeah. So, hey, California, Steve
29:13
Speaker 2: Hilton wins the primary. Practed very well. You think maybe
29:16
Speaker 2: voters are starting to wise up out there.
29:19
Speaker 4: Well, the good news from California. And by the way,
29:21
Speaker 4: I love California and I love the weather, I love
29:23
Speaker 4: the beaches, I love the mountains, I love the beautiful women.
29:26
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a great state. It's been runned by politicians.
29:28
Speaker 4: But you know they that election they had on Tuesday
29:32
Speaker 4: was amazing. Mark. There were about five tax hikes that
29:37
Speaker 4: were put on the ballot, you know, for voter approval.
29:39
Speaker 4: Every one of them got turned down all the way
29:41
Speaker 4: from San Francisco down to San Diego. So when Californians say,
29:45
Speaker 4: read my lips, no new taxes, you know there's something
29:48
Speaker 4: going on in America. People feel over taxed. They don't
29:51
Speaker 4: feel like when you've got you know, a trillion dollars
29:54
Speaker 4: a fraud in the federal budget, we should be raising
29:57
Speaker 4: taxesn't giving these guys more money.
29:59

30:14
Speaker 4: Of course, we want people, you know, to have healthcare,
30:17
Speaker 4: We want people to have you know, we don't want
30:19

30:21
Speaker 4: to get a government benefit and you're an able body,
30:23
Speaker 4: don't you think you used to be working. If the

Speaker 4: government's going to give you money, you should do something

30:32
Speaker 4: you know, and work there by the way moves people
30:34
Speaker 4: off of welfare into jobs, into getting a paycheck. And
30:38
