• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to hour number two. Yes, right, if you
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: just joined us, you missed the first hour. Remember, it's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: nine to noon every day. Three hours every day. Nine
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to noon. So, a lot to get to this morning.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Just minutes ago it concluded, but it was... Big press conference.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul and Letitia James. Governor Kathy Hochul on the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Cornell alleged rape case. About two years too late, but
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: she's on it now.
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Because it's election time and she needs to look like
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: she's busy, like she's doing something, like she's taking action.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: This rape took place about two years ago. This all
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: went to her district attorney. These district attorneys, that's a
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: state job. The district attorneys work for her. So it
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: was her district attorney that decided not to prosecute a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: year ago. This is all her on her watch. Now
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: she's snapping into action, acting like she is going to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: take action. She is going to get to the bottom
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: of this. Two years too late, but she's going to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: get to the bottom of this. And remember, she's up
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: for reelection and Letitia James is up for reelection. In fact,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in 32 days, you can vote Letitia James out of office.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: You can also get rid of Kathy Hochul. There's a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: very fine Republican candidate for Attorney General who you should
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: vote for. And, of course, you should vote for Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And you can get rid of Hochul and Letitia James
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in 32 days. So that's why they're pretending that they're
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: on top of this, that they're being decisive. They'll get
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to the bottom of this. It's a little silly, but
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: they're playing to the cameras. So, yeah, Bruce Blakeman got
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a great tax plan. that would dramatically reduce taxes on
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: everybody in New York, especially the middle and lower incomes.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: They'll get the biggest benefit. of his tax plan, everybody
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: applauding it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: Our budget in New York State is twice the size,
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: twice the size.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Of the state of Florida.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: So there's a tremendous amount of fraud, waste, and abuse.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: Kathy Hochul has given our taxpayer.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Money to illegal migrants.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: All they have to do is claim asylum.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: They get free food, free housing, free transportation, and a
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: free cell phone.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just wasting money. Our budget, you could cut
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it 50% without any loss of services. Just stop wasting
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: all the money. Stop overpaying for everything. And then on
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: top of all that, they're charging double, triple the amount
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of tax they should be charging. Then they nickel and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: dime you to death with this congestion. Pricing taxes, pied-à-terre tax.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Blakeman will get rid of all of that ridiculous stuff.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: Every other state is trying to get high net worth
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: individuals to move there. And we're chasing them out. It
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: doesn't make any sense. It's going to hurt the middle class.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: We're going to sit down, negotiate, bargain with the legislature.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: And as I said, I want tax relief.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So vote for Bruce Blakeman 32 days from now.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Get the state back in shape. You know, Florida has
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a much bigger population, much bigger population than New York.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It has more major cities than New York. And the taxes,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the budget is half of what ours is. It's half
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of our budget. They just spend it carefully and wisely.
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Immigration policy. I'm for guest worker permits, not amnesty, not citizenship.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: But if you've been here for seven, eight, nine, ten
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: years and you're gainfully employed, you're not on welfare and
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: you never got in trouble. I think we should give
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: these people a guest worker permit.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Let them stay here. Yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: So Blakeman for governor. If you want to donate, go
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to Blakeman for New York dot com. Blakeman for New
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: York dot com. Hey, by the way, by the way,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: he's been for the last few months. working his tail off,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: campaigning all over the place, constantly campaigning here, there, upstate, everywhere. Now,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the word is that President Trump will campaign with Bruce
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Blakeman in upstate New York. You know, Trump might not
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: be that popular right here in New York City, but
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: upstate Syracuse, a few other places. In fact, there's an
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: event in Syracuse October 9th. It's expected that President Trump
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: might campaign with him Another source said President Trump considering
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: making additional upstate campaign stops later this month. Now, you
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: got these fake polls all over the place. Siena College
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: poll has Blakeman trailing by nine points. These are the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: stupid media polls, college polls. Very, very rigged. The metrics
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: are all rigged. Republicans at 23 percent of the sample.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: They should be 38 percent. wrong demos. They're not using
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: likely voters. They're using adults, which means whoever they want.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: But in the real polls that the candidates use, those
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: are much different. Those are very expensive polls, deadly accurate.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: In the real polls, Blakeman has tied her. That's why
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: she is now in panic, spending a fortune on attack
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: ads all over the place on Bruce Blakeman. If you're
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: watching television, you'll see these attack ads nonstop against Blakeman.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: That is panic on the part of Kathy Hochul. That's
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of money for all those ads. Just saturating
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the airwaves with them. You only do that when you're
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: in trouble. So she's seen the real polls. 32 days away,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you got the midterms. Same thing with the midterms. You'll
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: see all these polls trying to convince you that Republicans
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: are so far behind. The president's approval rating is so low.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: That's not the case. That's not the case. You can't
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: really predict what will happen, but it's pretty much even
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: right now. Don't take it from me. Here's the CNN pollster.
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: In Iowa, where the Democrats have been getting really good polls,
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: Republicans outperformed their September polls by nine points back in 2024.
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: How about Ohio?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Six points.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: How about Michigan?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Five points.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: And I will note that the leads that the Democrats
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: have in all of these races right now are under
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: how much the GOP outperformed back in 2024. So you
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: look at this and you go, You know what? Maybe
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: we should just hold on a second here because we've
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: seen this dance before and it was not a dance
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: that Democrats like when the votes are actually cast and counted.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the big news yesterday was Chuck Schumer suddenly saying
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the GOP might steal this election. Warning everybody, the GOP
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: was going to steal the election. Well, if Schumer is
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: already making excuses for a Democratic loss, he's looked at
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: some private numbers too. So that tells you a lot. Hey,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: good for Secretary of State Marco Rubio. who yesterday threw
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Iran's foreign minister and his delegation out of the country.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Iran's foreign minister. He came to be a part of
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the UN General Assembly. And we actually did give him,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: we granted him a visa with severe restrictions, but he
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: was granted a visa and allowed to come speak at
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the UN General Assembly. Well, he's still here. So Rubio
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: ordered them to get the hell out. Just get out
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of New York and leave. By the way, Iran has
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: got about two weeks left and then they have absolutely
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: no money.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Nothing.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: They're totally broke. As we mentioned yesterday, every year, UN
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: General Assembly, the Iranian delegation, the president, the foreign minister,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: they come to New York. They take a whole bunch
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of suites at the Millennium Hotel right across the street
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: from the UN. That's where they always stay. This year,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: they could not afford a hotel room. So they all
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: slept at the Iranian embassy, and apparently a lot of
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: them are still there, but have been told to get
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the hell out of the country by this weekend. You
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: remember that reflecting pool? The guy, a Trump hater, Olympic canoeist,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: vandalized the pool. He got in the pool, whatever he did,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and they brought a case against him. Well, it was
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: thrown out yesterday. This is Jeanine Pirro, the DA in Washington, D.C.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: But it's Washington, D.C. You get these Trump-hating left-wing judges.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: They're always going to rule against Trump. So the case
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: was tossed out with prejudice. Now, what that means is
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you can't bring the case again. The judge claimed Pirro's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: office had shot first, asked questions later. It was a
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: lightning-fast indictment process. The prosecutors assigned to the case, this
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is the judge talking, The prosecutors assigned to the case
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: thought it was meritless, but the president repeatedly disparaged them,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: pressured them to change course. Well, that could be, but
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: you're not supposed to get into that if you're the judge.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to even consider that. But again, he
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: not only dismissed the case, but with prejudice. That's a
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: big thing. That means that the U.S. Attorney's Office there,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Jeanine Pirro, cannot refile the case. They cannot bring the case.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: So We'll see. Trump can get pretty mad sometimes when
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: this stuff happens. We'll see what happens. As Jimmy Fallon
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: pointed out, this reflecting pool stuff, if you watch MSNBC
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: or CNN or you watch The Daily Show or John Oliver,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: this is all they're talking about, the ballroom, the reflecting pool,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the arches. Jimmy Fallon points out this crowd that watches
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: this stuff, they're all like elitist people. Trump-hating old white liberals.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: They're older, angry white liberals that watch The Daily Show
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and this sort of stuff and don't realize that actual Americans, normal,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: everyday Americans are working their tail off, going to work
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: every day, raising kids. They don't even know about the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: reflecting pool. They don't care about the ballroom. They're not
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: interested in the arts. This is not an issue they
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: pay any attention to. This is just for the MSNOW
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: crowd to worry about. President Trump did that Time Magazine
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: interview yesterday. Did you know that there's still a Time Magazine?
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Did you know this even still exists? Time Magazine. Remember
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the old Time Magazine? A million years ago, it was
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a big, big deal. Time Magazine was the most important
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: news magazine in the world. If you were on the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: cover of Time Magazine, that was considered The most amazing
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: accomplishment ever. Now, in today's world, nobody knows what the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: hell Time Magazine is, except a few seniors. If you're
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: under 60, you never heard of Time Magazine. You don't
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: know what it is. And if you said to somebody, hey,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I was on the cover of Time Magazine, they don't
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: know what a cover is. What do you mean a cover?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: A cover of what? A cover. Because it's a website.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Everybody gets everything online. A website. There's no such thing
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: as a cover anymore. But in the interview... they asked
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: him if he would pardon any officials from his administration.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: He says, sure, I'd do that. Well, of course, the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: now left-wing Time magazine went crazy. It went crazy. They
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: were giving him a hard time. They're arguing with him.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: He said, hey, you didn't mind pardoning Fauci. You didn't
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: mind Biden pardoning all these people. Sleepy Joe gave pardons
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to everyone. He pardoned his son. You didn't say a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: word about that. But these left-wing Time magazine, where the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Democrats take total control of the House, the Senate, all
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of that, and investigate Trump day and night. They're going
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to subpoena his phones. He's got a cell phone. The
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: first term he used what is the official presidential White
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: House cell phone, first term. And that's like a special
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: military phone that has, you can make a call, receive
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a call. That's it. It can't do anything else. It
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: can't text. It can't receive texts. There's nothing else on
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the phone for security reasons. Second term, he's got that thing,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: but he's decided he'll use his own cell phone. And
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: he's been doing that for the last year and a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: half in his second term. He has an actual Apple
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: iPhone that he uses. And on that phone, he gets texts,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: he sends emails, that sort of stuff. But he doesn't email,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: but he texts all the time. And he's given that
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: cell phone number to everybody in the media. Everybody has
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: that cell number. And they call him and a lot
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: of times they text him. In fact, most people text,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you know, he's the president of the United States. Let's
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: say you want to ask him something. You text him first.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You don't just call. So he'll text back and they all,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: everybody texts back and forth with him. All of you
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: in the media, everybody, you know who you are. A
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: lot of you in the business world, a lot of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: people that know. Everybody's been texting with him for a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: year and a half. If the Democrats win, they're going
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to subpoena those texts. He's going to fight it, presidential
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: executive privilege, all that, private classified presidential communications, that sort
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: of stuff. But they won't give up, and they'll get
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: it before a left-wing kook of a judge, a Trump-hating
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: judge in D.C. And at some point, they may have
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to turn over those. So if anybody's been texting with
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: President Trump, if the Democrats take over, you're going to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: see those texts subpoenaed. received by Congress, and all those
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna and Adam Schiff,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: they will be releasing your text. They'll all be printed.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: They'll all be public. Just beware of that. If you've
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: had some private conversations, stuff you don't want public, just
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: beware of that. We'll take some calls next.

  Speaker 1: Kudlow, every day, 4 o'clock.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely agree with that. So you don't know
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: what she's going to do next. To me, I always
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: got a lot out of her. She's very smart, obviously.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Very smart. She's a very nice person. She'll announce something soon.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: She'll do something next. But thanks for calling, Peter. Let's
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: go to Sam in Connecticut. Sam, how are you doing?
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: I got some good news for Bruce Blakeman. I was
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: with my barber on Sunday getting haircuts. a Russian Jew
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: who lives in Queens. He told me that the rabbis
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: are coming out and are all telling the congregation, change
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: their registration, vote Republican. They've had it with Mondami, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: they're out.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: There in droves.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Blakeman's going to be pulling off a lot of the
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Jewish vote in Queens now.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Well, that's great. The Jewish vote, it's still a small
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: percentage of votes, but it's a turnout election. If Republicans
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: turn out, If Republicans turn out, Blakeman wins. He's got
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to win 35% of New York to win the governorship, 35%
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: of New York.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: And I think it's doable, and I just sent him
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: another donation.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Excellent.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to donate, go to BlakemanForNewYork.com, and you
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: can donate or volunteer, whatever you want to do, BlakemanForNewYork.com.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Michael in Danbury, Connecticut. Michael, how are
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: I wanted to talk about this Krista Pike situation. There
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: was an anesthesiologist on the Buck and Clay show yesterday
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: who said that it wasn't that the lethal injection didn't work.
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: They didn't get the administration of the penobarbital into her veins.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: They missed twice.
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Wouldn't you think that they would have had a phlebotomist,
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: somebody who knew what they were doing?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Well, more than that, though, lawyers warned them that because
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of her terrible medical condition and whatever she was screwed
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: up on, that her veins were so tiny there was
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: no way to even get into them. And even if
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you got it into her veins, her veins were so
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: narrow it wouldn't have killed her. It was also predictable.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Krista's legal team told the state of Tennessee and the
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: courts that her medical conditions would cause her to suffer
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: an agonizing death. The state and the court dismiss Christa's concerns.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so apparently her veins were so shrunken down and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: clogged up. It would never have gone through there correctly.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Let's go to... Not there.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: What happened? Oh, something happened. All the calls dropped at once.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: It's our phones again acting up, but I think it's
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: all right. I think it's all right. So, hey, we
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: got a lot coming up. We'll get to Roger Friedman
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: in a few moments. There's new Beatles stuff coming out.

• 18:44
  Speaker 1: about that. We'll take a look at Broadway, see how

  Speaker 1: everything is doing. We'll get to Sylvester Stallone. A lot

  Speaker 2: He looks like he's 55 or 50 or something. There's
• 19:43

  Speaker 2: another week or so, he picks up his rock tour,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Sting 3.0, which comes to the Brooklyn Paramount Theater. You
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: love the Brooklyn Paramount Theater, don't you?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, my favorite.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: The what? I went there once with Cousin Brucie.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: It's a great theater. It was the famous rock and
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: roll theater of Alan Freed. And it's been restored. It's
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: right in Fort Greene.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and isn't that where the Four Seasons made their
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: debut and became famous there?
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Yes. All the rock stars. I went there with Cousin
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Brucie and Little Anthony. We had a fabulous time. Anyway,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I love Little Anthony. Anyway, I think they just added
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: two more shows. He has 10 sold-out shows at the
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn Paramount in November. Uh, so 75, you know, God bless.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at a picture of him. What does this
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: guy spend like 12 hours a day in the gym?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: How do you get to look like that?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: He does a lot of yoga.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, it looks pretty.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I eat a lot of yogurt and he has a
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: lot of yoga.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: How come we don't look like him? Look at those muscles.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Cause we don't, we don't do anything. I like to
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: sit in a comfortable chair.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Um, so he doesn't need a Carnegie deli.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Uh, in other words, No, he does not eat the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: carnity deli. He does have meat, though. I've been with
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: him when he's had steak for dinner.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what does he have, two bites?
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably. But, no, he eats on the road when
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: he's working. They make, like, everything is, you know, fake.
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: It's all made by a chef. It's great. Big music
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: drops today. Beatles, Rubber Soul, Super Deluxe package. It's this,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know, 60th anniversary of Rubber Soul. Great stuff
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: on it, including a John Lennon, undiscovered John Lennon demo
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: from that time. All the tracks that they picked, they remastered, remixed.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: There's demos, there's outtakes. It's a beautiful package.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: It's great for a Beatles collector, but I'm not a
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: big fan of this remixed, redid. You know, the first
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: time it was George Martin. I guarantee you mixed it
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: perfect the first time.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: His son does a Giles Martin. He does a great job. Yeah.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I think he does a great job. There are people
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: who prefer in 2009, there was a box set of the,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: all the Beatles albums and people, uh, George Martin had
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: done that one and people love that box set, but I,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I really kind of liked this and I've been, I've
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: been enjoying it. And, um, And you'll hear some outtakes
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: and things that we've never heard before of songs from
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Rubber Soul. And this is really the album where the
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Beatles switched over from Help and Hard Day's Night and
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Ticket to Ride to their really fabulous second part of
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: their career, where it was Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: the White Album, Let It Be, and Abbey Road.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: It's it's you can't even describe their career in seven
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: or eight years they did all of us we think
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: of it now it's like a long thing that went
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: on but it was a very short period um and
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: and uh robert stahl is considered sort of the template
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: for all the stuff that came after.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Well back then it was the beatles beatles versus the
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: beach boys and they would do just hit singles and
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they got into this much
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: more sophisticated studio work and it was The Beach Boys
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: did Pet Sounds, and the Beatles would respond with Rubber Soul.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: They'd go back and forth, and it really elevated everything.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: The Beach Boys had a great record called Surf's Up.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I love that record, and it was very sophisticated. It's
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Brian Wilson's, I think it's his best song. Anyway, the
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: other big music drop today is Elvis Costello's which turns
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: out to be just a fantastic box set of My
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Aim Is True. It's the 49th anniversary. Of course, Elvis
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Costello would never do a 50th anniversary. So he's doing
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the 49th anniversary of his first album. And I didn't
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: know what to expect, really, except it turns out the
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: box set is fabulous and has all kinds of stuff
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: that wasn't released as part of the original album. Wonderful songs.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, but again, you know why it wasn't released? It
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: wasn't as good as the rest of the album.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. No, no, no. It was as good,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: but I'll tell you why. In 1977, when they put
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: out My Name is True, they picked 12 songs that
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: made him seem like an angry young guy. So the
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: songs that weren't angry and that were very melodic, had
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: a Burt Bacharach kind of sound to them, Really beautiful songs.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: They just left off the album. So now all those
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: songs are back. And for the first time, we're hearing them.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: And I tell you, I was blown away by this
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: box set. Just incredible. But, you know, all this older music,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: legacy music, you know, we love. I went to see
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Neil Young last week, and I've listened to his new album.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Neil Young.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Fabulous album.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: What happened? You lose it, Pat?
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Fabulous album. Neil Young. He's such a great songwriter and
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: very moving.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: If you say so.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot going on. The other thing that's happening,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: of course, is that the Tom Cruise movie, Digger, opened
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: last night in previews. And it's not very good. The
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: reviews are terrible. And we're waiting this morning to see
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: what the box office is from last night, which is
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: probably not going to be great. Uh, it's, it's one
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: of the last movies for Warner brothers as a freestanding studio.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Warner brothers now merged with Paramount. And this morning, uh,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: they announced that the, uh, parent company is going to
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: be called sky dance.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I don't like that.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: No, no sky dance, but they're still going to have
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Warner brothers and Paramount. It's just going to say a
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: sky dance company.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, uh, uh, uh, Yes.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: No, I don't mean to interrupt. Everybody seems to love
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: this new Sylvester Stallone book.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: You know, I tell you what, I read it. It's
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: really good. And it's all about everything that led up
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: to him writing Rocky. It stops at Rocky. So you
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: learn all about his childhood. Yeah, it's not after Rocky.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: It's everything before. And the other night, they gave him
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: a fantastic book party. I was not invited, but that's
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: all right. They gave him on the 37th floor of
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: what we used to call the GM building.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, that stupid Colette Club?
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know anything about it.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Do you?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a really stupid club. They act like it's
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the most exclusive club in the world. Then when you
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: go in there, Everybody that's a member says to you,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: how are you? It's, it's all those people.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, but they had, I once had,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I once had a boss whose mother came in from
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Jericho and she said to all of us, you people
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: are delicious. Uh, anyway, she was like Tony Fields.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Um, anyway, um, uh, they had this ritzy book party
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: with all these billionaires from Palm beach. And I thought,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: this is really, uh, tribute to Sylvester Stallone that he was,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: as a child, he was in a cold water flat
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: in Hill's Kitchen with his parents. They had no heat,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: no hot water. They had no money. He asked, in
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: the book, he says to his father, I'd like to
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: get a pet cat. And the father says, no cat,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: just play with the mice that are in the apartment.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's how bad things were. And then you
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: see what he's done with his life. It's amazing. And,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: of course, this movie, I Play Rocky, is coming out
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: very soon this fall. And that's the story of how
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: he made Rocky into an Oscar-winning movie. People love this
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I Play Rocky. This guy, Anthony Ippolito, plays Stallone. And
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: so they reenact Rocky, but it's also the struggle he
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: had to get it made. And people are cheering. You
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: remember how Rocky was? I don't know if you remember this.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Were you born in 1975?
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I remember going to the theater, and people were so
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: excited about Rocky. They were standing and cheering at the
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: end of it.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: And now, apparently, they're doing the same thing with this
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: I Play Rocky. So Sylvester Stallone is having his big moment.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: And good for him. Oh, great.
