- 0:33Speaker 1: How are you?
- 0:35Speaker 3: So? You were gone? And then I read in the
- 0:37Speaker 3: paper that you are in the Broadcast Hall of Fame.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Is that correct?
- 0:42Speaker 1: Not yet.
- 0:42Speaker 2: I'm being inducted in October October twenty second at the
- 0:46Speaker 2: Rainbow Room, and you need to be there. And I'm
- 0:48Speaker 2: not just saying this to patronize you and all that,
- 0:50Speaker 2: But when I think of people along the way that
- 0:54Speaker 2: got me to this surreal and almost lampable point, I'm
- 0:59Speaker 2: going to the Hall of Fame, You're one of those
- 1:02Speaker 2: people at the very top of the list. So it
- 1:04Speaker 2: is happening, Bill, I know it's crazy. I know you
- 1:06Speaker 2: can't believe it, but it really is happening.
- 1:09Speaker 3: But I'm jealous. I mean, the only I think they
- 1:12Speaker 3: have a picture of me and Barelli's on Hampstead Unpark.
- 1:16Speaker 3: But that's as close to any Hall of fame I've
- 1:20Speaker 3: ever got what So I'm very jealous. But if I
- 1:23Speaker 3: can be there, I will be there. I'll be great
- 1:26Speaker 3: at the Rainbow Room. Yes, your shot is good? Right?
- 1:32Speaker 3: Ethy worked?
- 1:33Speaker 1: It was, It was great.
- 1:34Speaker 2: I had the chance to speak with and hang out
- 1:36Speaker 2: a bit with BB nutting Yallo last Sunday and in
- 1:39Speaker 2: fact that last sun.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Let me stop, Let me stop you there when you
- 1:42Speaker 3: say you hang out with bb net and Yahoo, that's right?
- 1:47Speaker 3: How does that? How does that happen? Do you go bowling?
- 1:52Speaker 3: Do you help him with his colder? What do you
- 1:55Speaker 3: do to hang out?
- 1:56Speaker 2: Well, in this particular case, he was only at the
- 1:59Speaker 2: wall story of for a couple of hours, so we
- 2:02Speaker 2: did sit sat next to each other, we talked, We
- 2:05Speaker 2: had a couple of good conversations and took a couple
- 2:07Speaker 2: of pictures.
- 2:08Speaker 1: That type of thing. But I've done what you're talking about.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I've gone for dinners, I've gone to a farm, I've
- 2:13Speaker 2: gone to a winery, I've done all those things in
- 2:16Speaker 2: the pants with Boebe. But last Sunday, because it was
- 2:19Speaker 2: only one venue, it was me, Mike Huckabee, Bibi Netanu,
- 2:24Speaker 2: Mark Levin. We all hung out together at the Waldorf Astoria.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Nice huh, very swell. Who picked up the chair for that?
- 2:32Speaker 2: Not me, jns dot Orgypt, it was you know, you're
- 2:40Speaker 2: funny you say crypto and you mentioned Bebe. But you
- 2:44Speaker 2: know that right now the liberal media, those lunatic democrats,
- 2:50Speaker 2: all they're talking about is all the money that President
- 2:54Speaker 2: Trump and his sons have made in crypto. Well, everybody
- 2:57Speaker 2: else is taking a beating.
- 2:59Speaker 1: How was that?
- 3:01Speaker 3: Because he's in the easy story. I mean trying this
- 3:05Speaker 3: week to get people to understand there's the actual story
- 3:09Speaker 3: that's happening, and then they're the easy story that you
- 3:13Speaker 3: can just you know, slam somebody you don't like. That
- 3:16Speaker 3: seems you know, a five year old can do that. Now,
- 3:19Speaker 3: on the Trump situation, we don't really know the extent
- 3:24Speaker 3: of his financial dealings because nobody has seen what the
- 3:29Speaker 3: losses were. They see what the gains were, but not
- 3:32Speaker 3: the losses, and not who did what. I understand that
- 3:37Speaker 3: he established a trust, a revocable trust. That's complicated, I
- 3:41Speaker 3: understand that. But he seems to have followed the guidelines
- 3:46Speaker 3: that are in place for the president to do business.
- 3:50Speaker 3: And Trump's always been a business man. Now, maybe he
- 3:56Speaker 3: did a Hunter Biden and use connections that certainly, But
- 4:01Speaker 3: these people who are reporting on it, they don't know anything.
- 4:05Speaker 3: For example, Jared Kushner, who is Trump's son in law,
- 4:12Speaker 3: spent a lot of dough in Albania. Apparently Jared wants
- 4:17Speaker 3: to make Albania and Jo Coney Island. It's not happening, Okay,
- 4:25Speaker 3: not a good idea. The Albanians don't like you, Jared,
- 4:29Speaker 3: they don't like anything about you. All right, they'll take
- 4:33Speaker 3: your money. You'll never see it again. And we're not
- 4:36Speaker 3: going to have Coney Island in Albania. But the Trump
- 4:42Speaker 3: organization put a lot of money in there to try
- 4:45Speaker 3: to develop that, and so that comes off the top.
- 4:50Speaker 3: But it doesn't really matter. The perception is reality, and
- 4:53Speaker 3: a perception is that the President of the United States
- 4:57Speaker 3: is a grifter and he's using his position to help
- 5:00Speaker 3: his family get money. And so that's what these networks do.
- 5:06Speaker 3: They don't care what really happened. They're not spending any
- 5:10Speaker 3: time investigating. They don't care.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Yeah, anybody don't, you know. And back to the Iran
- 5:15Speaker 2: thing for a second. Similar conversations I had this week
- 5:19Speaker 2: with John Katzumatitis is a very bright guy obviously, and
- 5:23Speaker 2: Katie McFarland. They both seem to think we won, we
- 5:25Speaker 2: won the war. Everybody else is more like me, which
- 5:29Speaker 2: is we've won nothing. We haven't lost anything. I never
- 5:32Speaker 2: said we've lost the war. You know, maybe we've got
- 5:34Speaker 2: we've got the edge in terms of who's winning. But
- 5:38Speaker 2: I'm not near a place at all right now. I'm
- 5:40Speaker 2: about to say we won this war. What it's been
- 5:44Speaker 2: already think.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Well, there's only one yardstick for victory, and that's weapons
- 5:50Speaker 3: inspectors going in on a regular basis to monitor the Iranians.
- 6:00Speaker 3: The Uranians trying to make an atom bomb with their
- 6:04Speaker 3: enrich urale.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Right, but if you believe, but if you believe, they'll
- 6:08Speaker 2: forget about Operation Epic theory. If you believe that Midnight Hammer,
- 6:12Speaker 2: and I do believe this, I do believe this. I'm
- 6:14Speaker 2: on John side and KT side. If you believe that
- 6:17Speaker 2: Midnight Hammer destroyed their ability for the Centril futures to
- 6:21Speaker 2: even use that with the uranium, then they're light years,
- 6:24Speaker 2: not light years, but they are ways off from enwitching
- 6:27Speaker 2: that stuff anyway to make a nuclear bomb.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Thanks to Trump, that may be true, but it's all classified.
- 6:34Speaker 3: And from what I'm hearing, the Uranians had a couple
- 6:37Speaker 3: of other uranium sites.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I'm sure that weren't hit. I'm sure.
- 6:43Speaker 3: And you know, I had a debate with Chris Como
- 6:46Speaker 3: didn't believe anything about the uranium stuff at all, And
- 6:49Speaker 3: you know, I said, look, you know, every almost every
- 6:52Speaker 3: expert monitis this kind of stuff concurs that or I
- 6:59Speaker 3: was trying to get is trying to get a nuclear weapon.
- 7:02Speaker 3: This week they come out and go, hey, we have
- 7:05Speaker 3: to have a nuclear weapon because we're going to get attacked.
- 7:08Speaker 3: And you know, now they're saying it themselves, but it's
- 7:12Speaker 3: fairly easy to understand. If you don't get that component,
- 7:20Speaker 3: then you can't say that this thing was worth it,
- 7:25Speaker 3: and that's what the American people are looking for.
- 7:28Speaker 2: But then again, you know, John and KT were both
- 7:31Speaker 2: very quick to point out all these fantastic economic improvements
- 7:35Speaker 2: of Dow Jones over fifty two s and p up
- 7:39Speaker 2: and you know, again, they're not talking about interest rates
- 7:42Speaker 2: are still high, and the place is still high because
- 7:45Speaker 2: all you hear as well. Oil is down to much
- 7:48Speaker 2: less than was under Biden. So there seem to be
- 7:50Speaker 2: some economic indicators that may in fact say.
- 7:53Speaker 1: It was worth it until we get the dust.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Well, it's not enough to win the midterm elections because
- 8:00Speaker 3: it's way too complicated, and most Americans judge the administration
- 8:08Speaker 3: by how they are prospering individually. Trump was smart when
- 8:13Speaker 3: he said to the American oil companies, we know you're
- 8:15Speaker 3: gouging and they are okay, so you better bring it down.
- 8:20Speaker 3: You better bring them down at two dollars and fifty
- 8:22Speaker 3: cents a gallon. Now, the American oil companies are going
- 8:25Speaker 3: to take their sweet time because they're in business that
- 8:28Speaker 3: take as much money out of O'Reilly and said as
- 8:31Speaker 3: they can. But the people know that, and so people
- 8:37Speaker 3: evaluate their vote is evaluated by how it is affecting
- 8:42Speaker 3: them directly, not macro economics. Cake. They could teach a
- 8:46Speaker 3: course at the Kennedy School at Harvard and it would
- 8:50Speaker 3: be a good course, but that's not going to influence
- 8:53Speaker 3: one vote.
- 8:55Speaker 2: I agree with you. That's why I know people talk
- 8:57Speaker 2: about the dow Jones. I mean, you know, I'm not saying.
- 9:00Speaker 3: The country doesn't does not Jones.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Right, it's it's by the way, it's a lot more
- 9:07Speaker 2: than half the country. Like I've been saying all week long,
- 9:10Speaker 2: three quarters of the country. Three quarters. If they get
- 9:14Speaker 2: to go to one red lobster dinner a month.
- 9:16Speaker 1: They're doing great. They have no idea.
- 9:18Speaker 3: What the doubt Jones, They're not the investor class, correct,
- 9:23Speaker 3: So two more points because I know you're tired for time,
- 9:27Speaker 3: and if you if you put me on any later,
- 9:30Speaker 3: I'm gonna be intruding on the bow Nerdley show.
- 9:34Speaker 2: I keep but I keep telling you you're doing me
- 9:36Speaker 2: a you're doing me a big baby, because my nine
- 9:39Speaker 2: o'clock ratings have never been better, never.
- 9:41Speaker 3: All right, but you know it's getting later and later
- 9:43Speaker 3: and later. I mean I have to shave twice before
- 9:47Speaker 3: I can come on the suits radio program. Uh so
- 9:52Speaker 3: I'm whining now, But that's okay. So I'm on the
- 9:55Speaker 3: News Nation and tomorrow night is it tomorrow night?
- 10:02Speaker 2: No?
- 10:02Speaker 3: Today is Thursday. It's tonight. I don't even know when
- 10:05Speaker 3: my own stuff is on. Boy, am I delirious? I
- 10:09Speaker 3: have a special at nine o'clock amusination about heroes and
- 10:12Speaker 3: villains and the revolutionary war, not the people that you know, Okay,
- 10:18Speaker 3: the people. And this pertains exactly to today. Fifty percent
- 10:23Speaker 3: of the colonists didn't want to leave the king, Okay,
- 10:27Speaker 3: they wanted to stay. No matter how he abused the colonists,
- 10:32Speaker 3: they were not willing to move out of it. And
- 10:36Speaker 3: we have a large segment of the population today that
- 10:41Speaker 3: votes for destructive people. So Cuomo last night was saying, well,
- 10:48Speaker 3: you know, the Democrats are going to lock down the midterms,
- 10:50Speaker 3: are going to win the midterms because now we have
- 10:52Speaker 3: this money stuff going into Trump and people aren't gonna
- 10:56Speaker 3: like that. And I looked at him and I said,
- 10:58Speaker 3: what you're not a standing here is that people aren't
- 11:03Speaker 3: going to vote all right ideology. They're going to vote
- 11:09Speaker 3: in November on who's going to protect them from Mamdani,
- 11:17Speaker 3: from AOC, from these loons in the New York Congressional delegation.
- 11:25Speaker 3: Most Americans know this is bad, and they may not
- 11:33Speaker 3: like the way that Donald Trump is conducting himself. I
- 11:36Speaker 3: think you could make a point that maybe he modifies
- 11:39Speaker 3: a little bit, okay, but the threat from the far left,
- 11:45Speaker 3: and they're not socialists. They're communists. Every single one of
- 11:48Speaker 3: them wants to control the means of production. Now again,
- 11:54Speaker 3: I mean, teach yourself at school. People don't know what
- 11:57Speaker 3: does that mean? Means of production?
- 11:59Speaker 1: You know?
- 11:59Speaker 3: Is that a? And aren't they playing with Santana? Means
- 12:03Speaker 3: of production? They don't know, but they feel that this
- 12:09Speaker 3: malevolency that is rising in the urban centers is not
- 12:17Speaker 3: what they want. There's only one candidate protecting them from that.
- 12:26Speaker 3: That puts this election in a totally different context.
- 12:31Speaker 1: So what if you're wrong? What if America really is
- 12:33Speaker 1: ready to make this crazy?
- 12:34Speaker 2: It's crazy, it's it's it's it's the country.
- 12:38Speaker 3: Just can't imagine it. I've been to every state, every
- 12:41Speaker 3: major city. Once you get out of the big urban
- 12:45Speaker 3: areas which are controlled by the communists, and you're not
- 12:51Speaker 3: going to make in roads there. But once you get
- 12:53Speaker 3: out into the rural and suburban areas, when you go
- 12:57Speaker 3: up to see your concert at Betha Woods, yeah, you're
- 13:00Speaker 3: gonna have a bunch of liberal people up there, and
- 13:03Speaker 3: I'll find but the people who live there don't want
- 13:07Speaker 3: ma'am Donnie telling them what they can have.
- 13:13Speaker 1: I think you're right, I just want it yeah, I
- 13:15Speaker 1: think you're right.
- 13:16Speaker 2: I'm just you know, the more and more these people win,
- 13:19Speaker 2: you know, the primary elections. Again, it was just primary,
- 13:22Speaker 2: but I believe they're all going to win anyway, come
- 13:24Speaker 2: ge come November. What we saw in Colorado a couple
- 13:27Speaker 2: of nights ago. I mean, Bill when Hassan Piker, he's
- 13:31Speaker 2: a low life, he's a podcast host. He was the
- 13:34Speaker 2: one that said to Mom, Donnie, originally America deserved nine
- 13:37Speaker 2: to eleven. He's out on the streets of Denver campaigning, Bill,
- 13:43Speaker 2: what is that on?
- 13:45Speaker 3: The people are voting, the other eighty are suiting it
- 13:48Speaker 3: out because it's a primary.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Well, I said this last night.
- 13:51Speaker 2: I said, because the same thing happens when it comes
- 13:53Speaker 2: to the g unless they won it for Trump. Republicans,
- 13:56Speaker 2: we need we not you. I know that's not you,
- 13:59Speaker 2: but it's me. We need to do a much better job.
- 14:02Speaker 2: We bitch, we complain, we're not voting. Seven percent voted
- 14:06Speaker 2: here last Tuesday, seven percent of Democrats, obviously, but are
- 14:10Speaker 2: Republicans voting.
- 14:12Speaker 3: They will in Wyoming and they will in Florida. And
- 14:17Speaker 3: I think the guy in Texas is going to get waxed.
- 14:19Speaker 3: The guy who thinks he's got eight genders. I mean,
- 14:24Speaker 3: you know, it's almost impossible to pass a voter id
- 14:28Speaker 3: law when you have eight genders because you've got so many.
- 14:32Speaker 3: You know, what do you got? You got a bigger,
- 14:35Speaker 3: big cardboard thing you bring in. Well, when I was six,
- 14:38Speaker 3: I was here. Now I'm I'm Larry, but I was Sureley,
- 14:43Speaker 3: but I didn't like Shirley. So now I'm back to Vinnie.
- 14:48Speaker 3: I'm Vinnie now. And there's the guy who's voting instructor,
- 14:51Speaker 3: going all right.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Just vote, get out, just vote and get out?
- 14:55Speaker 3: Right?
- 14:55Speaker 2: What else happened? I mean, Bill, but you know I
- 14:57Speaker 2: gotta wrap it up. But I got no he knows
- 15:00Speaker 2: the history of this country on this show more than
- 15:02Speaker 2: you do. What has happened, Seriously, what's happened.
- 15:07Speaker 3: What's happened is two things. Number one, terrible education policies.
- 15:13Speaker 3: So people don't understand what communism is. They don't understand
- 15:16Speaker 3: This week is the anniversary of the Korean War nineteen fifty.
- 15:21Speaker 3: They don't know what the Korean War is. They don't
- 15:22Speaker 3: know why it was fought. They don't know why Vietnam
- 15:25Speaker 3: was fought. They don't know what the Cold War was.
- 15:27Speaker 3: They don't know anything. About Stalin or Marx. They don't
- 15:29Speaker 3: know anything. You know.
- 15:30Speaker 2: I could prove that to you. My son Gabriel, who
- 15:32Speaker 2: loves you, You love him. He goes to high school
- 15:34Speaker 2: in New York City. All they teach him about Bill
- 15:38Speaker 2: I'm not lying, civil rights and slavery. Nothing about World
- 15:43Speaker 2: War two, Vietnam, Korea, all the things you just mentioned.
- 15:46Speaker 1: They never learn about that stuff, even.
- 15:49Speaker 3: The Revolutionary War and afourth of July, which is why
- 15:52Speaker 3: we're doing a special tonight, right because people don't know
- 15:55Speaker 3: anything about it. But that's what they're teaching in New
- 15:59Speaker 3: York City is vicy dimization. They want your son to
- 16:02Speaker 3: believe that he is a victim of white men like
- 16:07Speaker 3: Trump who are making billions in crypto. That's what they'
- 16:11Speaker 3: and that's what the television networks do. The second factor
- 16:15Speaker 3: is parents. So the parents are spending all their time
- 16:19Speaker 3: on the phone or on a golf course or whatever.
- 16:22Speaker 3: They're not sitting their kid down for discussions about their countries.
- 16:25Speaker 3: For the July two fifty. Did you talk to your
- 16:29Speaker 3: kid about this all right? Does he know anything about it?
- 16:33Speaker 3: Does he know the sacrifice and blood and treasure? No,
- 16:36Speaker 3: fellow Americans, you know, for freedom. No, no, no, And
- 16:42Speaker 3: that's the parental So the parents delegate all of their
- 16:45Speaker 3: responsibility to be a good citizen, all right, And the
- 16:50Speaker 3: education system in the urban areas are telling every kid
- 16:54Speaker 3: that they're a victim.
- 16:55Speaker 1: You're right, well, you just know that.
- 16:57Speaker 3: That's why. Yep, you see this rhyme as you're seeing
- 17:00Speaker 3: this rise, because they don't know what the consequences are
- 17:05Speaker 3: of not having enough police. They don't know that Mandanni
- 17:10Speaker 3: wants to control where you live, what you eat. Food
- 17:14Speaker 3: is next, yep, all right, he'll slap so many regulations
- 17:18Speaker 3: on the grocery stores because he wants you to buy
- 17:21Speaker 3: food from the city. This is what communism is. The
- 17:26Speaker 3: central government controls everything. And then the wealth tax is coming.
- 17:31Speaker 3: We're gonna just seize your private property. We're gonna steal
- 17:36Speaker 3: it from you.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Oh my god.
- 17:37Speaker 3: Do you think these kids.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Know that none of it? No, they don't know.
- 17:41Speaker 3: You take their phone and they're gonna be upset, right,
- 17:44Speaker 3: So Mandanni will probably leave that for left.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I got it. I'm gonna sit down with my
- 17:49Speaker 2: kids because they've asked. They want to know more about
- 17:52Speaker 2: nine to eleven. It's coming up in a couple of
- 17:54Speaker 2: months at twenty five year commemoration. They asked, I was
- 17:57Speaker 2: on the air that day. Danielle was working up by
- 17:59Speaker 2: the mPire State buil thing, they asked, But these kids
- 18:01Speaker 2: Revolutionary War even nine to eleven, only twenty five years ago,
- 18:06Speaker 2: no idea, and for the most part they don't care.
- 18:08Speaker 1: And you're right, education and parents.
- 18:11Speaker 2: You're an amazing, amazing guy, Bill on Alroddy, I couldn't
- 18:13Speaker 2: love you more than I do.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Thank you so much. It's a great appearance. Thank you.
- 18:17Speaker 3: Okay, hello to the Doobie Brothers.
- 18:19Speaker 1: For me, I will Hey, what are you doing?
- 18:21Speaker 2: What are you doing Saturday? You're gonna read the Declaration
- 18:24Speaker 2: of Independence with the kids a while.
- 18:26Speaker 3: We're out in eastern Long Island and we're and you know,
- 18:31Speaker 3: I know you can, but we've got a little open
- 18:34Speaker 3: house going on, and you know a lot of patriots there.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Nice and I did invite man Donnie, but he said
- 18:42Speaker 3: I will come if I can run the entire party,
- 18:45Speaker 3: including what everybody wears. Yeah, that's him, and I think
- 18:49Speaker 3: we're going there. That's a little bit.
- 18:54Speaker 1: That's him though.
- 18:54Speaker 2: That's what he wants to do. Bill, You're great, I
