  Speaker 1: Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Give me a call. And now you remember the story
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: about a week, week and a half ago, Susie Wiles,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: White House Chief of Staff, President Trump was going to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: fire her. He was unhappy about her daughter or somebody
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: else was profiteering or something, all these claims. And that's.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: It.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: This Politico story went everywhere. Everybody was reporting this. Susie
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Wiles is out. Politico considers itself a very prestigious, very
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: highly regarded news Washington, D.C. site that gives you inside
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: information on Washington, D.C. Politico is just a left-wing, slanted,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: biased site. They're the most biased, slanted, everything. So the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: story turned out to be totally false. Completely false. The
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: president has no intention of firing Susie Wiles. He made
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: that very clear. She'd been with him for years and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: years and years. And so Politico just kind of dropped it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: They stopped mentioning it. The president came right out and said,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: this is Not going to happen. She will be here
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: for years. It was pretty definitive. So they don't really
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: mention the story anymore. White House counsel now looking at
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: suing Politico. You know, they're very good. That's one thing
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Trump has done. It's a very good thing to start doing.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: These fake news organizations, these fake news sites that just
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: print crap, make them pay for it. Maybe it'll slow
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: them down a little. George Stephanopoulos, they went after him,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: sued Politico. ABC had to settle for $ 12 million. 60 Minutes,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the old 60 Minutes, doctored up in a video, doctored
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: up an interview, all kinds of fake stuff. So the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: president went after them. They had to settle for $ 20 million.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Make these people pay for it. So he's giving Politico
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a chance to retract it. The White House counsel gave
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the outlet 48 hours to apologize to Trump and retract
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the story. If they don't, White House counsel said there
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: will be consequences, which means a massive lawsuit against Politico.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And they may have to pay $ 10 million, $ 15 million.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So let's see. You got 48 hours. Let's see if
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: they retract it. This will be interesting. Hey, we'll take
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: some calls.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Give me a call. Look, there's open lines there. Don't
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: usually have open lines.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Let's go to.

  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. Mark, out here in Arizona, Dave Feeley
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: is running for governor. I don't know if you remember him.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: He was a field goal kicker for the Jets and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the Giants.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I saw him on Hannity's podcast, and this guy makes
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: so much common sense. I tell everybody, vote for him.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I said he'd be a great governor. And the guy
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: he's running against, the guy Shaw, he's terrible. The first
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: thing he said was, I'm going to fight Trump. that's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: not your job. Your job is to work for the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: people of Arizona. So I said, that guy's terrible, but Yeah,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I'm pulling for Jay out here. I hope he gets in.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: All right, we've got a lot of Arizona listeners. Vote
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for Jay. You know, a lot of times people say, well,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I'm a football player. What is a football player?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't mean anything.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: No, because you look at most of these politicians, they're
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: all idiots. Mom Donnie never had a job in his life.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Brad Lander has absolutely no skills in real life. None
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of them have any qualifications. Yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: My son played soccer with him. He says he's a
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: real nice guy, friendly. He'll talk to you. I said, well,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: that's the type of guy I like, you know.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, that's not the criteria, but.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: What's the temperature there in Arizona today?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, right now it's 57.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, Oh, normally it's 157.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: No, no, that's, that's August and July. That's that time
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: of year.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Be honest. It's April, May, June, July, August, September.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Uh, at the beginning of April, it starts hitting the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: triple digits, you know?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: It's terrible.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: All right. Thank you, Mark. All right. Thanks for calling.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: You got these races all over the country. And again,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: The key is turnout. Get out there and vote. But
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: if you're an ex-football player, hey, Jack Kemp, he was
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest, smartest guys ever in politics. Ex-football player.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: That's a great thing to– it's a great qualification anyway.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: It teaches you a lot playing football. Let's go to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Paul in Glendale. Paul, how are you doing? I'm great.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: I'm going to pull over just to speak to you
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: because I know you don't like hearing people driving while
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: they're talking to you.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Well, you can drive.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It's that speaker in the car.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I want to concentrate on what I have to say.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: All right, go ahead.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: The festering thought of the fake news, isn't what they're
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: doing considered espionage on some level?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: No, it's considered propaganda. It's considered... You could argue it's
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: election tampering. You could argue it's fraud.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Let's shoot one of them at the firing squad and
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: see how many more.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: No, no, let's not get crazy. But, yeah, you could
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: consider it fraud. You could give... best thing is just
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: sue them, make them pay for this. I just keep
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: suing them. Trump has already made, I don't know, there
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: might be a total of 50 million in fake news
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: organizations like ABC and CBS having to settle this stuff.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Just keep suing them, collect the money. Let's go to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: David in Connecticut. David, how you doing?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Good, Mark. That horse carriage thing is such a pile
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: of horse manure. I mean, it's not hard for those
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: horses to pull around a cart. It's charming in the park.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: These liberals got to ruin everything.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Well, why not send them to Connecticut? They'd look great
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in Connecticut. Where are you in Connecticut? Where do you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: live in Connecticut?
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: I'm in New London.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I'm in New London. Too far away.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I want horse carriages trotting around.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Too far away. Too far away. But let's see. Stanford,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you could use some horse carriages. It would look great. Hey, Ridgefield.

  Speaker 1: Ridgefield's one of the most beautiful towns in Connecticut. New Canaan, beautiful.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Maybe around, yeah, or Mystic.

  Speaker 1: of tourists. You got that new Delamar Hotel there. You
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: got Mystic Pizza. Yeah, you're right. Send them to Mystic.

  Speaker 5: I'm glad to hear that Trump is using the law
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: against Americans. the journalism, because that's what needed to be done.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: I wish he'd now turn it towards the legal system itself,
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: the bar associations, the lawyers that really fought against him.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: He's got to use the legal system to straighten out
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: the legal system.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that bar association, especially the New York bar, is
• 8:33
