  Speaker 1: the U.N. It's the big U.N. General Assembly all week.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Street closures. Absolute nightmare. Hey, this crazy Ed Sheeran, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: he's the nicest guy, Ed Sheeran. When it comes to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the music world, nobody nicer than Ed Sheeran.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: He got himself into this mess. He picks this crazy
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: anti-Semite Macklemore to be the opening act. Everybody's blaming the promoter,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: saying it wasn't Ed Sheeran. It was the promoter. He
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: got stuck with this. Ed Sheeran's a pretty big guy.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: He can decide who his opening act is. But Macklemore,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: terrible anti-Semite. He's been seen dressed in Nazi costumes. Remember
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that time he dressed as an Orthodox rabbi? Horrible anti-Semitic
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: looking costume. So Macklemore's off the tour because the stadium owners,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Robert Kraft and others, wouldn't let him appear there. So
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: they had to drop him from the tour. Ed Sheeran
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: getting all kinds of flack in Ireland. They stopped playing
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: his music on the radio. Fans returned tickets. He's all upset.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: So big headline today. Ed Sheeran says his family abandoned him.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: He's coming out on stage talking about how he lost
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: his family, his friends. He comes out on stage crying.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: He's got to stop this. He looks ridiculous. Stop whining
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and crying. He needs the Godfather to slap him and say,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you can act like a man. Stop crying. Stop apologizing.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Look at Bill Maher. I'm gonna play this again. I'm
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: gonna play this every hour. This is Bill Maher, Friday night.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I think Macklemore spoke for all clueless celebrities when he said,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I know enough to know this is a genocide.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Actually, you don't know.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: It's not a genocide. It's a counterattack in a war,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: a war that's been waged on Israel since 1948 based
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: on the ridiculous premise that Jews don't belong in the
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: one place on earth they are indigenous and indisputably their
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: ancestral homeland. Hey geniuses, they're the Indians in this scenario.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Ed Sheeran, either say nothing or say that. But
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: he comes out on stage, now he becomes anti-Semitic. He
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: starts spewing this anti-Semitic nonsense about Israel. And then he
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: starts crying. Listen to Ed Sheeran.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: This wasn't the easy option tonight.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I didn't know what was going to happen. I heard
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: all sorts.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Of things were going to happen.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I didn't know whether I'd be safe or you'd be
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: safe or things would be thrown at me, people would boo.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: And I walked it. I felt so much love from
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: you guys.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm so grateful.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, that's good. That part's good. But then, I
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: don't know what happened to this guy. He starts getting
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: into all this stuff. I'm trying to find, oh, here
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it is. Here's more.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: My concerts have always been a safe space for everyone,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: and that matters hugely to me. Honoring my commitment to
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: my fans is also.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: See, the other thing, he has a British accent. You
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: always sound like a genius with a British accent. I mean,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it's Ed Sheeran. I mean, this is not Einstein. But
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you sound like a genius with a British accent.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Completely central to who I am. And that is why
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I'm here tonight on my own and continuing my current tour.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's good. That's very good.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: What happened in Israel and at the Nova Music Festival
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: on October 7th was horrific and compounded centuries of Jewish pain.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: What is happening in Gaza is catastrophic and unjustifiable and disproportionate.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: My heart has been broken by the scale of devastation
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: and loss of civilians' lives, of children's lives.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: All right, that's where you lose everybody, Ed Sheeran. It's unjustified.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: It's a counterattack. It's unjustified. Israel is not running around
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: raping women and killing babies as Hamas did. That's where
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he loses everybody.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I have tried in my career not to be a
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: political commentator of any kind.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Well, this might be a good time to continue that policy.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Because I want my music and shows to be about unity,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: not division. About humanity, not politics.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I don't want to.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Disappoint fans, and I've never wanted to be an activist musician,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: but this has put me in the middle of an
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: important and passionate argument about freedom of speech and the
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: most complex political issue on the planet.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why you should stay the hell out of it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: First of all, you... He has no idea where Israel is.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: He couldn't find it on a map, knows nothing about Gaza, Hamas.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: He's just trying to worm his way out of this
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and doesn't know how to do it. Ed Sheeran interviewed later.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: He said, it's been horrific. It's been awful. I've lost friends.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I've lost family. That's everybody. That's everybody when it comes
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to Trump, when it comes to Israel. Everybody's lost friends
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: over it. That's why I always tell you, do not
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: ever talk about politics with anybody. Ever. There's no reason to.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: You love politics? Listen to shows like this. Listen to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: whatever you listen to. Read whatever. You don't have to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: discuss it with people in a bar. Don't discuss it
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: over a dinner table. Don't discuss it at a party.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Don't discuss it. It's just going to cause you trouble.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: There's nothing to gain from it. You don't need every
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: idiot's opinion on everything. Just stay the hell away from it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: But Ed Sheeran, we'll see. I think he recovers from this.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: You know what? Just sing. Put out great records. Put
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: out a new album. Have it be a big success.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And you'll do just fine. Hey, President Trump, you know,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: he wants to build that big arch in Washington, D.C.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: It's actually a pretty good idea. It would dominate a
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: good chunk of the D.C. skyline. When they say skyline,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: they're talking about three, four stories. But it would look great.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I know, he wants to put his name on it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: All right, that's not so great. Keep your name off it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Just build the arch. But just because it's him, if
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it were Obama, if it were Biden, Democrats would love
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: this arch. They would be donating. They would be pushing
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: for it. They would be hailing him as a genius
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: for coming up with the arch. But it's Trump, so
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: they're all opposed to it. And President Trump says now
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it will double as a top-grade military complex. It will house,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: store drones, snipers, both on the roof and plaza areas.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: It'll hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. You know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: he keeps falling back on the same excuse. Well, we
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: have military. You can't keep saying everything's also going to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: be military. That excuse doesn't work. If you need to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: store large amounts of ammunition, there's like 700,000 other buildings
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in Washington, D.C. And it's the home of the U.S. military,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon, every, I'm sure they got places right now
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: where they can store all the ammunition. Right now, the
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: ammunition is being stored somewhere. And why would you put
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: it in an arch? It's going to be a big
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: tourist thing. A million tourists will be around that arch.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: It's the last place you want to have to go
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to get your ammunition out. So that part doesn't make
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: much sense. Ukraine, largest attack ever on Moscow. A thousand
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: drones hit Moscow. One thousand drones. Now, you remember Ukraine
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: begging us for drones, begging us for missiles. Well, over
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the last two years, they built their own drone factories.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: They are now the biggest drone manufacturer in the world.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: They're turning out the biggest, most powerful drones in their
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: own factories worldwide. So they got an endless supply. So
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: in this attack, this is right in Moscow, right in
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the middle of Moscow, 1,000 drones hit Moscow. 1,000 drones. Now,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, it killed two people. In the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: middle of a major city, 1,000 drones, and they only
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: killed two people. But they went all over the country,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and they went all over Moscow. The mayor of Moscow
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: said 450 of the drones had been destroyed, shot down
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: en route. Okay, that's possible. He said the unprecedented attack
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: on the capital was to disrupt their elections. They were
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: having an election. Of course, there's no opposition there. When
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you're Putin or whoever and you run, there's no opposition.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: So it's not the most crucial election in the world. Uh,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Obama bashing Trump for, uh, uh, not doing enough about AI.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You know, he's big on, he's, he's the one quietly
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes that orchestrated this whole AI thing. They
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be a big thing for the midterms.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Climate change isn't working. Uh, they've been polling it, focus
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: grouping it. Climate change isn't scaring anybody anymore. It's just
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: not working. So they came up with this whole AI
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: thing and it was all orchestrated carefully. Obama was the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: one running around from one meeting to another. getting this done.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: The four big AI companies, they're all very close to Obama,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: very close, have been for years. So they came up
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of incidents of how the AI was
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: escaping from their control and taking over. And they brought
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: out these four incidents to scare everybody. But now there's
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: all sides of insiders and whistleblowers within these AI companies
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: who are coming forward and saying these incidents have been
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: ridiculously oversold. The one they talked about where it broke
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: out of the sandbox, they create a sandbox around the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: AI so it can't get out. The one where it
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: got out, whistleblowers are now saying they deliberately didn't build
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the sandbox correctly. They deliberately left holes in it so
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the AI could escape it. And they're doing this for
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the other incidents. Remember the first whistleblower that the AI
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: guys had? Turned out he'd only worked there like four weeks.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: But these guys have been there forever, these whistleblowers now.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: They're coming forward and saying these incidents they've described were
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: actually set up. They were engineered so that it would happen.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: And they could use them. Now to say that President
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Trump's doing nothing about AI. Nothing about AI.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: You just can't come to the White House press briefings anymore.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's another one. Forget that. We'll get to that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: in a minute.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: But.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: President Trump did set up something called AI Force, and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: he created an AI czar on Saturday to keep the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: industry from engaging in bad practices. AI Force will patrol
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. As I mentioned before, Anthropic and these
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: other companies have set up super PACs to hand out
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: tons of money to politicians. They need the Democrats, Bernie Sanders,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: all these guys to play along with this. So 40
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: million has been doled out to them very quickly over
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the weekend and more money is coming. So it'll be interesting. Yeah,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: there was Obama talking about President Trump banning CNN, MSNBC
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and Politico from the White House.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: You just can't come to the White House press briefings
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: anymore because you're giving the current president unfavorable coverage. I'm
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: trying to think what would have happened if I had said,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: you know what, Fox News, you're out of here. It's unimaginable.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Well, he forgot to mention that he did that. Yeah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: they tried to ban Fox News. Now, the difference is
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Obama backed down. There was tremendous flack. But it's interesting.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: If you go to my Twitter, you can see the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: video of all this. CNN was pushing for Fox to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: be banned. MSNBC was pushing for Fox to be banned
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: from the White House. And Obama tried to do it,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: but he backed down. This is the difference. You know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Trump is like, Trump's like a maniac. He never backs down.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what kind of opposition he'll keep going.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And remember, Joe Biden blocked 440 reporters. He took their
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: credentials away. 440 reporters he didn't like. Biden took the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: credentials away. And you're going to hear if you watch
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: CNN or MSNBC, this story is false. They simply did
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: not reapply for their, yeah, well, they didn't think they
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: had a chance, so they didn't reapply. Trump administration did
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: block a couple of news organizations in the first term.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: First term, they blocked the BBC, Politico, New York Times
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: from attending certain briefings. Pentagon has blocked reporters from certain areas.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Trump administration restricted and blocked Associated Press a while back.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: They're still in court fighting that. They're not getting anywhere
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: on that. During Trump's first term, he took away the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: press credentials of Jim Acosta. Remember that ugly, rude, nasty
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: CNN guy? He went to court, later got it back.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: He got his press pass back. The president said at
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the time he wanted to make a point, regardless of
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: whether the ban held up in court. And that may
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: be the same thing here that he's doing. So the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: AP lawsuit is still stuck in court. They're still banned.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: They're not getting anywhere. But... We'll see. Now, the other
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: thing is just don't let them in the Oval Office.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: You could do what they do at the Pentagon. Just
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: restrict them to certain areas and nowhere else. Hey, we'll
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
