• 0:53
  Speaker 3: You won't hear this on the on the news tonight.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: You know, it's only when the Dow's down. That's the
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: lead story on the CBS Evening News, the ABC use

  Speaker 3: the NBC News. No Dow plunges, that's if it's up.

  Speaker 3: of a Musical Cats has been nominated Ragtime, Rocky Horror

• 2:20
  Speaker 3: nothing that interesting. Yeah, Last Boys, The Lost Boys? What
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the hell's the Lost Boys? I don't even know what
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: it is, but it's got a lot of a lot
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: of nominations all over the place. So hey, tonight the
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Rose Garden Club opens. That's the Rose Garden at the
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: White House. The President. It was just grass, you know,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and for years they do a ceremony in the rose garden.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: It's grass, and then you know, three hundred people would
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: trample on the grass and it was a mess afterwards,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: or they'd want to do something in the rose garden.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: It had rained the day before, so it was muddy
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and the ground was a mess. So President Trump, if
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: you read the fake news, so he paved over the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: rose garden. And he didn't pave over it. He brought
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: in the finest marble granite, and he built a beautiful patio.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: So instead of just grass, it's a beautiful patio. It's
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: absolutely stunning, every detail of it. And you know, if
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: you do this really well, it means he's a great builder.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: If you really know what you're doing, if you're not
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: the government and you're actually a great builder. You put
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: in a lot of drains all over the place so
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: that way, no matter how hard it rains, it's clean.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And if you look at the drains, there's these beautiful
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: white drains that match the granite. But if you don't
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: look at him, you know has all the slats in him.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: The slats are all the whole thing is. The drain
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: is in the shape of an American flag. You don't
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: you get up close and really look at him. But
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: every little detail is perfect. And then they have these
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: great chairs and tables, really elegant looking, beautiful umbrellas, beautiful lights,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: and they turned it into probably the most beautiful outdoor
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: cafe in America. They can put a lot of people
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: in there. So President Trump, when he does the State dinner,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: you can do in the East Room, but we are
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: doing something a little more informal. He does these outside
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: dinnators dinners with members of Congress and all sorts of
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: So the first one is tonight. It's going to be
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: a nice, warm night in DC, so it'll be the
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: first Rose Garden Club dinner tonight. Check out the pictures
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: of it. You'll be very impressed with how it looks.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: It's really really nice. You remember talking about crazy Chuck Schumer.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: This guy will say anything. He has no beliefs in anything,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: no principles, nothing. It just takes care of his donors
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: all day. But on the weekend he'll do his fake
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: press conference. Somebody will type up some issue. He'll read
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: it and you can see never even pre read it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: He doesn't even know it. You can see him turning
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: the page with the big, big, big glasses on trying
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: to read this thing. So this one, everybody thought was
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the most hypocritical nonsense. Some people in government are betting
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: on the poly market in a profit. He wants to
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: put a stop to it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Now, the people who write our laws are nation secrets
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: and command our military should not be able to use
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: the prediction markets to wager on the outcomes of their
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: own work. Prediction markets have exploded over the last few years,
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: and we must never allow Congress to turn into a casino.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: No, he read this and as soon as he finished,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: he ran like a thief. He just ran the hell
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: out of there, because every reporter the same question. Well,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: then what about the insider trading You talk about making
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: a profit off their work, off what they know. You
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: can't bet on a poly market, but you're allowed to
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: insider trade on the stock market. Well, Schumer just ran
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: and hid, and it's the most hypocritical thing in the world.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I'm not disagreeing with it on this, but then ban
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: insider trading. As long as you're serving in Congress. You're
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: not allowed to buy and sell stocks with inside information
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: based on your work. It's the same exact thing as
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: the poly market. The only difference at the DOS is
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: you can make a lot more money. That's how people
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: on a government salary like Pelosi end up leaving worth
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: seven hundred million. You know some of these senators that
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: they're making one hundred and fifty thousand a year. Next thing,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: you know, they're worth forty million, one hundred million, all
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: from the insider trading. But Schumer refuses to answer that question.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: He's in hiding. You will not see him until people
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: forget about that question. So crazy mom. Donnie is protesting,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: he's against ICE, he doesn't want to help ICE. Hockel
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: is going along with him. It's absolutely crazy.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: We are going to continue to actively examine what our
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: response protocols are when ICE is present, to ensure that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we're handling the situations appropriately and we're doing so in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a manner that's consistent with our local laws and our
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: values as a city.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: His values is don't help ICE. His values is have
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the illegals run all over the place.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: As I've made very clear that our laws leave nothing,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: no room for interpretation about the fact that our NYPD
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: will not participate in civil immigration enforcement. And I've also
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: been very clear about my views on ice raids as
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a whole. I think that they are cruel. I think
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that they are inhumane. I think that they do not
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: serve any interest of public safety.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Well, of course they do, because most of the ice
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: raids are criminals, gang members, criminals that they're trying to apprehend.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: They're here illegally. They're trying to get them out. They've
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: broken the law just coming here, and then they've broken
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: the law all over the place here in some cases killing, robbing, raping. Obviously,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: you want to get him out here, but not crazy mom,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Donnie so Hey, they asked him about Giuliani. Now, if
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you are the mayor of New York, when it comes
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: to the greatest mayor of New York ever had, by far,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I mean the greatest mayor ever in New York, when
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: you want to talk to him, when you have questions
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: for him, when you want to get some guidance from him.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: If you became a New York Yankee and they're in
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: the clubhouse or in the owner's suite watching there was
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Joe Demijo or Mickey Mantle or any of those crazy,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: wouldn't you want to go ask them things talk to them. Nope.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Not if your mom, Donnie. You can't stand them.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Eric Adams used to call up Bloomberg all the time
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: to ask him questions, and anybody with half a brains,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: the first thing you would do. You become the mayor,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: and you call the greatest mayors ever and you'd ask
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: them questions. You know, it comes to crime. You give
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: the mayor of New York when you call Ray Kelly.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: He's a nice guy. He'll help you out when you say,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: could we have lunch? Could I talk to you? Could
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: I come see you? I'd like to ask you things.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, the guy's the greatest expert in the world
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: on how to fight crime in New York, how to
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: be the police commission. When you ask him some stuff,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: it's only logical. So the reporters did ask Mom Donnie
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: about Rudy Giuliani. He's better today. He's still not out
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: of the woods, but he's turned a corner. He had
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: been in a coma on a ventilator. A priest had
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: give him his last rites. He's out of the coma
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: yesterday he's now off the vent till later. It's looking better.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: But yesterday the reporter asked him about de Rudy Giuliani.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: I think he'd like to.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Say about his contribution to the city of the fact
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that he got the city through.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Nine to eleven.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I think former Mayor Giuliani is someone that we
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: as New Yorkers know well and he's been a fixture
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: in our cities politics and public life for so many years.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And I know that many New Yorkers are concerned by
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the reports that he's in critical condition.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: He can't say, yeah, he was the greatest mayor ever
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: in New York. Yeah he did clean up crime. Yeah,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: he was an unbelievable hero in nine to eleven. Yeah
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: he did help the city come back from He can't
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: say it. He can't. Did you hear that answer? Well,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: we know him well, he is a fixture. Can't say
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: anything good about him. This crazy mom Donnie who does
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: not follow the science. And that's one thing about Democrats,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: they do not follow the science. For crime fighting is
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: an actual science. There's things that we know work, things
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: that we know don't work, and we've scientifically tested them.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: We've tested them thousands of times in hundreds of cities,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: and we know what works and one doesn't work. But
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Mom Donnie doesn't follow that. Now, speaking of crime. You
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: get these crazy left wing das, and you got these
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: crazy left wing judges. You had one yesterday actually apologized
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: to the presidential assassin Cole Allen, the White House Correspondents
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: dinner shooter. Apparently in jail, they put him in solitary
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: and at one point they put him on suicide watch.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: The jail said, well, if you read his manifesto, he
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: says something about you know, this is it, It's over
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: for me. It sounded like a suicide note, so they
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: put him on suicide watch. Well, he was back in
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: court yesterday and this crazy left wing judge. US magistrate
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Judge Zia M. Farque told Cole Allan she actually apologized
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: to him. She said, I'm so sorry about the way
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: you've been retreated. There was no reason for you to
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: be put in solitary. I'm sorry. The conditions were harsh
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: in the jail. It's jail. It's supposed to be harsh.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: What's more harsh than the jail? But Tony Towns, he's
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: a lawyer for the DC lockup, said they did ongoing
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: psych exams and they made the decision that the medical staff
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: to put him on suicide watch. But the judge apologized
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: to him. His lawyer said, one time he was put
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: in a padded cell what amounted to twenty four hour lockdown.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: It's jail. Yeah, So the judge kept apologizing and apologizing.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Why he said he wasn't even allowed to have a bible.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: The judge said, it just doesn't add up. As he noticed,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: he noted people convicted of more serious crimes were held
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: in less restrictive conditions. What's more serious than trying to
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: assassinate the president of the United States? What's more serious
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: than trying to open fire on a ballroom filled with
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: cabinet officials? So again, crazy left wing judges everywhere. Stephen Colbert,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: the show is going off the air finally? Is it
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: later this month? He's planning, apparently, some sort of emotional Farewell.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Now the question is when he goes, what's gonna come on? Well,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: they're gonna do a game show with Byron Allen. It's
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: a pretty good game show, but it's really just a
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: copy of Hollywood Squares, and then they're gonna do a
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: copy of Gutfeld. It's going to be a bunch of
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: comedians roundtable. But according to Byron Allen, they will not
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: talk about the news. They'll just talk about other topics,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: which is smart because then it won't get outdated. It'll
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: always be usable. You could rerun this stuff forever. Now,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: what happens to the Ed Sullivan Theater. This stuff is
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: all being done in California, So you're gonna have a
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: big empty Ed Sullivan Theater that CBS bought years ago
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: and spent a fortune renovating for David Letterman. But what
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: happens to it? Well, the Ed Sullivan Theater experts say
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: if you just put it on the market, it could
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: fetch up to ninety million dollars. It's possible you could
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: restore it to a Broadway theater because originally it was
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: a fifteen hundred seat Broadway theater and could be put
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: back that way, but be a costly renovation to restore
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: all that paramount's. CBS well, they could use it for
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: live theatrical productions if they want to produce shows there,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: but they're doing less and less stuff, so I doubt
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: they're going to do anything with it. James Dolan, a
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Mason Square Garden, has apparently shown some interest in buying
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the theater turning it into a venue. But if you
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: want to turn it back to a Broadway theater. Just
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: make it a legitimate old Broadway theater. Apparently, the Nederlanders,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: the Schubert Organization, and others have shown some interest, so
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: expect one of those things to to happen. Hey, Ron
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: DeSantis is indicating making moves like he wants to be
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: a presidential candidate in twenty twenty eight. Now, obviously, you
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: know he's run for president before. He's been a great,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: a phenomenal governor of Florida. He's been the best governor
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: in America. He's outstanding as a governor. He stinks as
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: a presidential candidate. He all has. He has another problem.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: It's a big problem behind the scenes. He's the nastiest
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: guy in the world, and it's just nasty to anybody
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: and everybody. Everybody in the RNC, everybody in Trump World,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: anybody who runs into He's just privately nasty to everybody.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know why it is. I have no idea
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: why he does it. Nobody's been able to talk to
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: him about it. It's a big, big problem for him
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes. That's one problem. The other problem is
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: just as a candidate, he's not much of a personality.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: He's kind of a cold fish as a speaker, as
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: a guest on a show, it's kind of a weird voice.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: And where's those crazy cowboy boots? And so that's the problem.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: And again he's been so nasty. Even his own donors,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: even his big donors, he's nasty to them. I mean,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: they tell stories about how they you know, they write
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: him a massive check and then they can't get him
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: on the phone. He runs into him, he won't say hello.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: He's just I don't know why he does it. But
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: that's a big problem. He's leaving his Florida governor. Term
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: limits have ended his governorship. So he's been lobbying and
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: had people lobbying behind the scenes to get him a
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: cabinet post with the Trump administration. But but nobody wants
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: him in the cabinet because he's so difficult to work
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: with him. He's so nasty. He's a great governor, but
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's a good employee on a team.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: And Trump wants to do something for him. He's been
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: very helpful to Trump with the stuff in Miami, with
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: the renaming stuff after him the airport. He's been very
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: helpful with helping with the Trump Library, going to Miami.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: But so Trump would find him something. It wouldn't be
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: in the cabinet, but he'll find him something. They have
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: these jobs where they can throw people that mean absolutely nothing.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Un Ambassador is one of them. They just get if
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: they know you're a problem and they don't want you around.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Like Carrie Lake, who's not as not quite as bad
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: as Desanta's, but she's pretty rough and nobody wants her
• 16:30

• 17:20
  Speaker 6: lot of people over the years, did you know Joe
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: Franklin at all?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, of course I knew Joe Franklin. He was on
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: this show many times. I was on his show many times.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Why on earth would anybody in twenty twenty six ask
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: about Joe frank.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Well, actually I saw a few YouTube clips the Joe
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Franklin Show, and as odd as it may seem, I
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: missed the guy. I mean, if you were up at
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: three in the morning, you know you could rely on
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: Joe Franklin.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: He was a great part of New York. He would
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: have twelve people on the show. One would be Tony
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Bennett plugging something. The other would be a plumber next
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: to him. The other would be some young I want
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: to be actress that there's some sponsor to have on
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: and absolutely one would be uh, Morris Katz, the painter,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: and he'd make everybody talk to everybody Tony Bennett's finished,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: and then he'd say to the plumber, Uh, well, what
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: do you want to ask Tony Bennett?
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: He would often do that.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: He would rely on the guests to ask one another
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: questions you know.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a very awkward, klutzy guy, but another very.
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: Nice curious if you did know him, like, what kind
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: of guy was he? I get? You know, obviously he

  Speaker 3: Nothing bad. He was a very nice man. He had
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: an office that was legendary. It was just packed with
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: every piece of memorabilia, every newspaper ever published.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: It was, you know, I saw that that's on YouTube
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: as well. I'm curious who inherited that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: He would like floor to ceiling everything was in that place.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah. No, he was a very nice guy in real life. Great,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: thanks for calling. Hey speaking a podcast and Johnny Carson.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: If you love Johnny Carson. The best podcast on this
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: is It's called the Carson Podcast. There's about five hundred
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: episodes with everybody that was ever on the Tonight Show,

• 19:16
  Speaker 3: You'll absolutely love it. The Carson Podcast. Let's go to
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Mark in Nutley, New Jersey. Mark, how you doing?
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark, how are you good? I've been a
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: longtime listener. I listen to you up here in New
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Jersey and then I listen to you when I'm in Florida.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Very good.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: I'm on every day. Anyways, I have a twofold question.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: First of all, how do you see this war ending?
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: Number one? And number two, who do you see getting
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: the next Republican nomination?
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: You know, it's not just you. Everybody asked that. You
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: got to not ask that. That's like saying who's going
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: to win the super Bowl in twenty twenty nine. You
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: can't predict.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: That's a good question.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: You can't predict that. There's no way nothing will be
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: the same in twenty twenty eight. Everything changes a thousand times.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: That's fun to make guesses, but they don't mean anything
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: right now. So well, I'll just say whoever you like, Uh, well,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: you got a lot of great choices. You got Rubio,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: you got Vance, you got also check back. Historically, usually
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: whoever the nominee is going to be has not yet
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: appeared at this point, especially on the Democratic side. At
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: this point, nobody knew of Bill Clinton, nobody knew of
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Mike Decaucus. Usually the nominee has not appeared yet, so
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: or Obama. Yeah, good point, Well, thanks for calling. Let's
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent how you doing.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Mara. Mark. Apparently from what
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I've been hearing and from people calling in other shows,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: the Democrats and their minions and our European allies are
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: okay with the Iranians killing a few hundred American soldiers
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and tourists over the years here and there.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: What is it?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Facts only two hundred soldiers twenty tourists up play is
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: really now? Let them be Let it go on. Mark.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: I believe that the Federal Trade Commission should threaten the
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: big three oil companies. We're looking at their books to
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: see if they're price goalging because, as Richard from South
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Carolina said from Myrtle Beach, if these companies bought this oil,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: which they're not going to you know, the ships are
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: not coming in every day to supply the oil for
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the week. If they have these this oil was in
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: the storage tanks before the war began, and they're selling
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: it at these extremely high prices, then they are price galgy.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: What they're doing is there's no reason to raise the
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: price of oil because we produce all our own oil,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: has nothing to do with overseas, but they've raised it
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: to match the world price. If you clamp down on them,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: and they'll let them do it. They'll just cut production.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: They'll create a shortage and they'll raise the price.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I was just the thought came up because maybe
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: with the threat of the Trump of Federal Trade Commissioned
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: saying hey, we want to see your books, man, the.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Books will just they'll show that they race it to
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: match the world price, and if you tell them not to,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: they'll cut production. They'll cut production.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, Unfortunately, you're right, Mark, you're you're right.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I don't have a comeback for that.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: It happens once in a while. Well, great call, Vincent,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: thanks for calling. Hey, when we come back, got lots
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: to talk to Bill O'Reilly about. He'll be with us
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: next on seven to ten. Worms, Please do New York.

• 23:10
  Speaker 3: The guest is Sid Rosenberg. Uh, that's amazing. You landed Sid.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: You know, he's a very shy guy. He doesn't usually
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: like a lot of attention, but you got him. Huh yeah.
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: I had to stand on his front lawn and demand
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: that he come out to do We'll do it Live.
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: Worked out very well. He's got a very compelling story
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: for everybody. Almost committed suicide at one point and you know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: storm back and taking control of himself, which Americans need
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: to hear that. So we're happy that we could do that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: Uh that long form and then we have Chazz Parliamentary
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: coming up on Thursday.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah great guy, and uh yeah, so take a listen.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: We'll do it live as the podcast. Just go to
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: billoreilly dot com and get the link there. Hey, Barack Obama,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: who was all forgotten about, is suddenly all around. Why
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: is he back? What is he up to?
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: Must be a kingmaker for the Democratic Party in twenty
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: twenty eight. He's still very actively involved in Democratic politics,
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: whereas Michelle is not. Michelle like to dump the whole thing.
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: But Barack Obama is a very smart guy and he
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: knows he'll never say it, maybe if I grilled him,
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: but he knows the Democratic Party is going down the chute,
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: and he thinks he might be able to save it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: So he's starting to up his visibility a bit.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: So you mean it's going down the shoot by going
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: so far to the crazy left, and he wants to
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: pull it back to the center.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: It's actually more than that, you know, that's the prevailing
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: wisdom that the progressives are taking it over and they
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: want the trans guys playing with the women on the
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: soccer field or whatever it may be. But it's really
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: more than that. There is a segment in the Democratic
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: Party rather large one who believes we are not a
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: good country, we are not a noble nation, and we
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: need to start all over again with everything, including the
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: Supreme Court. You know, just knock it all down, throw
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: it all out, burn it all up. And that is
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: catching out with some young people can't seem to pay
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: their bills because a they don't plan it, b they
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: don't really live in the realistic world where they think
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: they're going to go out and make three hundred thousand
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: dollars a year.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: They're not.
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: So Barack Obama sees this, sees his trend that began
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: with AOC and Bernie Sanders now taking a momentum, and
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: he sees this as a disaster because most Americans are
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: not going to subscribe to this. I believe the New
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: York City is different than the rest of the country,
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: and we have a guy as mayor who believes this fervently.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: That's what Mandanni believes. We are not a noble nation
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: and that he's going to crush every kind of tradition
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: that he can while he's in office. Obama sees that
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: as dangerous.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: That's fascinating. But you know who one of the worst
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: was that That was Michelle Obama. So Barack couldn't cure
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: his own wife. How is he going to cure the
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party?
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't know anything about with her, he's going
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: to cure anything. I'll tell you that Michelle Obama is
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: all emotion and Barack Obama is all illect and they
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: don't cross over. So whereas Michelle Obama made mistakes in
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: her rhetoric at times it was emotion driven. When Barack
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: Obama makes a mistake that comes out to hurt him,
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: like the guns and Bibles line, that was not emotional.
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: I mean that's who he sees the opposition as, you know,
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: the guns and Bible people.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, when you want to get something done, an
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: emotional person isn't the right choice, and an intellectual is
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: usually kind of useless.
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: So yeah, but Barack Obama's got cache in the Democratic
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: Party far more than anyone else.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting. So but you know, as the first
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: black president, here's the guy who really could have helped
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: really heal the nation, and in many ways he didn't.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: It was he wasn't successful at that.
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: They all get trapped, including President Trump. They all get
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: trapped in trying to please their most fervent supporters rather
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: than stepping back and say, look, this is my role
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: in history, this is what I want, is what I
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: want to do for the country, is what I want
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: to accomplish. Then that other equations in But I got
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: to make sure that Chuck Schumer's down with it. You
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: can't do that. You got to go up against the
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: establishment because the establishment is basically the cause of most
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: of our problems here. It's not the individual Americans. Most
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: of us are hard working people with a pretty good vision.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: It's the establishment that runs up a forty trillion dollar
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: national debt, not the guy living down the street. And
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: I think Barack Obama fell into that category where he
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: wanted to do certain things that would have been very
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: good for the country, but he got trapped in the
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: actual swamp politics and that hurt him.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: You know, Bill O'Reilly, when you want to think or
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: get something done, you probably go in your office, close
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: the door. You're all alone. But you've been in the
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: White House. The president never really alone. There's a thousand
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: people coming and going, There's a million assistants. How hard
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: is it to think straight when you're sitting there in
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: the White House.
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: Well, he's got all night because he doesn't sleep, so
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: he's wandering around up there all night, his second floor residents.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: You know, every time I speak to President Trump, he's
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: very clear and coaching on what he wants to do.
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: He's not foggy like Biden, and he's not equivocating like
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: even Ronald Reagan did. Sometimes, you know, in a border
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: would be a great example of a Reig equivocation. He
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: didn't think it out. Trump knows what he wants to do,
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: but sometimes he doesn't know how to get there. And
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: that's what I said in this Iran thing, when I said,
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: and I could have been on your show. That is
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: the biggest gamble that Donald Trump's ever taken in his
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: life anything, because the uncertainty of the opposition, the Mullas,
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: who do not care whether their people live or die,
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: then you get you're putting them into a category that's
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: almost impossible to deal with. You know, if somebody doesn't
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: care about their own people, then you have very little
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: leverage over them. And that's what we're seeing now is
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: that Trump would love to make a deal. He has
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: made very good offers to the Maulas where they could
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: rebuild their country. All they have to do is with
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: the weapons inspectors and they won't even do that. Yeah, well,
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: I don't know how it plays out.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not a politician, he's a billionaire entrepreneur. And
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: those guys, you know, they'll go away out in a limb,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: they'll take a gamble, they'll pull the trigger on an idea,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: but they also know how to bob and weave and
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: in the middle of chaos figure out a way out.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: So don't you think it'll all end?
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: You know, he doesn't have much time now because five
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: dollars a gallon of gas is coming by Memorial Day
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: and people are really cheat off. They don't understand Iran,
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: they don't care about Iran, they don't want to hear
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: about Iran anymore. Yeah, it's a tough one.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Bill O'Riley. What is Marco Rubio doing going to see
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: the Pope? What's that all about?
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: That's daytime? So it doesn't do anybody any good to
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: have a feud between the Pope and the president. And
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: then Maloney, the Prime Minister Serve Italy was a big
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: Trump supporter and you know, came down on the side
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: of the Pope. She almost had to in Italy. And
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: Rubyo is a very good negotiator, I think, And he's
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: going over there to make everybody friends again, and I
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: think he's going to be successful in doing that.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Oh that's interesting. Can we do that with you in
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom?
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, anytime, you know. I posted a I think from
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: then Mayor newsoone in San Francisco where he demanded, I
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: get fired off the Jimmy Kimmel stuff. There's so much
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: hypocrisy in the media. And let me tell you a
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: quick one w O Riiss might be interested in.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: It was a savage.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: Murder out here on Long Island over the weekend. A
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: mother of three and another woman knife to death by
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: an El Salvador and migrant. Okay, front page yesterday in
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: the New York Post front page and horrific. Newsday didn't
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: cover it. Yeah, wow, And it just shows you how
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: the press no longer does the press even pretend Newsday
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: would like to have amnesty for Billy gal allience. That's
• 33:23
