- 0:00Speaker 1: They'll mark some own show live from the w o
- 0:03Speaker 1: R Life back studio. Hey, another feautiful day to day.
- 0:09Speaker 1: It's Thursday. We got a lot to get to Big
- 0:11Speaker 1: Knick's victory last night. We'll get to President Trump. Iran.
- 0:14Speaker 1: We'll get to Rubio was fiery yesterday, Marco Rubio great
- 0:21Speaker 1: in the hearings yesterday. We'll get to crazy Scott Pelley,
- 0:25Speaker 1: the most sanct demonious, pompous ass in the history of broadcasting.
- 0:30Speaker 1: We'll tell you what he was up to yesterday. We'll
- 0:33Speaker 1: get to the Nicks, of course, and a whole lot more. Iran.
- 0:39Speaker 1: It's it's a ceasefire that's not really a ceasefire. Things
- 0:42Speaker 1: are going on. Hesbla firing rockets again this morning. Israel,
- 0:48Speaker 1: you know, had a Prime minister net Yahoo that screaming
- 0:52Speaker 1: phone call with President Trump. What the heff you do
- 0:55Speaker 1: with it? But they got to respond. They'll have to respond,
- 0:57Speaker 1: so expect that a little later today. This time. They'll
- 1:00Speaker 1: probably coordinate better with the White House. Iran. It looks
- 1:06Speaker 1: like we don't know what we're doing. It looks like
- 1:08Speaker 1: you watch the crazy MSNBC shows, those type of things.
- 1:13Speaker 1: But even if you listen to some Repulicans say, I
- 1:15Speaker 1: can't believe he went in without a plan. I can't
- 1:17Speaker 1: believe he doesn't it. Well, it's a lot more of
- 1:20Speaker 1: a plan than you think. A lot of this is deliberate,
- 1:24Speaker 1: deliberately looking like he has no plan, deliberately looking like
- 1:28Speaker 1: they don't know what to do next. They kind of
- 1:30Speaker 1: like this current situation straight over Moose closed. It's draining
- 1:35Speaker 1: Iran completely financially. Inflation in Iran is now at eighty percent,
- 1:41Speaker 1: and it's getting to the point where we're looking for
- 1:43Speaker 1: people to rise up and just take over the government.
- 1:45Speaker 1: But it hasn't happened so far. But right now people
- 1:48Speaker 1: are totally out of money, totally starving. This could change
- 1:53Speaker 1: pretty soon. Now. You gotta do something at some point
- 1:57Speaker 1: because the entire world oil supply is running dry. We've
- 2:02Speaker 1: used up about all the reserves around the world. We
- 2:04Speaker 1: have plenty of oil in this country. We are the
- 2:07Speaker 1: biggest oil producer in the world. We produce a lot
- 2:10Speaker 1: more oil than we need now thanks to President Trump.
- 2:13Speaker 1: But around the world, you got to make sure they
- 2:15Speaker 1: don't run dry, otherwise it could drive the price up
- 2:18Speaker 1: to one hundred and seventy dollars a gallon that would
- 2:21Speaker 1: translate to six or seven dollars at the pump, So
- 2:23Speaker 1: you'll have to do something. In the next few weeks.
- 2:26Speaker 1: The House passed this War Powers resolution that the President
- 2:30Speaker 1: cannot go to war in Iran. It sounds dramatic, it
- 2:33Speaker 1: doesn't mean a thing. It's a totally meaningless thing the
- 2:36Speaker 1: House can pass. It doesn't go anywhere. It's not going
- 2:39Speaker 1: to get anywhere in the Senate. Even if it did,
- 2:41Speaker 1: I don't think the President would follow it anyway. So, hey,
- 2:44Speaker 1: Marco Rubio. It was always thought that JD. Vance Worth
- 2:49Speaker 1: the front runner for twenty twenty eight, but Rubio pulling ahead.
- 2:55Speaker 1: You know, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt is on maternity leave,
- 2:59Speaker 1: so one day Rubio filled in. He was dazzling, He
- 3:03Speaker 1: was brilliant, explaining everything, and he was great making fun
- 3:06Speaker 1: of the press, attacking the press. So that kind of
- 3:09Speaker 1: put him ahead of JD. Van So they let JD.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Vance do the press conference one day. It was good,
- 3:14Speaker 1: but it wasn't Marco Rubio. And yesterday on Capitol Hill,
- 3:19Speaker 1: Rubio was great. You know, these hearings, these congressional hearings,
- 3:25Speaker 1: they just get a Republican in there, a Trump person
- 3:28Speaker 1: in there. And beat them up like crazy. They just
- 3:30Speaker 1: accuse him of everything, and then they don't let the
- 3:33Speaker 1: person answer. Democrats are great at hearings. They're great at it.
- 3:38Speaker 1: I mean as far as getting viral video, as far
- 3:40Speaker 1: as getting TV video. Republicans think at it. They ask
- 3:45Speaker 1: real questions, they wait and let the person answer. It's
- 3:48Speaker 1: not as good for viral stuff. But it's just this
- 3:51Speaker 1: first guy calling Rubio a liar. The Rubio is covering
- 3:56Speaker 1: up the President Trump is total mental decline.
- 4:00Speaker 2: You know.
- 4:00Speaker 1: They make up something like a pedophile or he's got
- 4:03Speaker 1: cognitive problems, and they make up this thing and then
- 4:06Speaker 1: they all spread it around and they tell the lie
- 4:08Speaker 1: so many times that they forgot they made it up.
- 4:12Speaker 1: They really come to believe it, but convinced themselves. President
- 4:15Speaker 1: Trump is in total cognitive decline and Rubio's covering it up.
- 4:19Speaker 1: The American people deserve the truth. I yield back.
- 4:24Speaker 3: I don't even know how to respond to that, other
- 4:26Speaker 3: than to tell you that it's absurd and ridiculous and
- 4:28Speaker 3: I can't believe we're in a Foreign Affairs committee meeting
- 4:30Speaker 3: in front of the House, an important time in American
- 4:32Speaker 3: foreign policy. Just keep lying, just keep on supposedly someone
- 4:36Speaker 3: who thinks he's a medical expert when he's not. The
- 4:38Speaker 3: truth of the matter is we had a cognitively impaired
- 4:41Speaker 3: president in office a few years ago. That's a cognitively
- 4:43Speaker 3: impaired president. But I don't like to talk about that
- 4:45Speaker 3: because it weakens America.
- 4:48Speaker 1: That's the nicest exchange. It gets worse. So what they do.
- 4:51Speaker 1: They'll ask you the worst question in the world, accusing
- 4:54Speaker 1: you of everything on earth, and then they don't let
- 4:56Speaker 1: you answer. If you try to answer, they start. You
- 4:58Speaker 1: could be one two words in the you're answering, they're
- 5:00Speaker 1: cutting you off.
- 5:01Speaker 4: Secretary of Rubio, why did the State Department approve the
- 5:03Speaker 4: thirty million dollars to g h F at a time
- 5:06Speaker 4: when other well tested agencies were there and able to
- 5:10Speaker 4: provide distribution.
- 5:11Speaker 3: Well, because one of those were Inhos with Hamas, and
- 5:15Speaker 3: we saw an incredible amount of the aid flow into Hamas's.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Hands, reclaiming my time, the aid was.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Here by Israel and the rules.
- 5:23Speaker 3: You can't even answer a question.
- 5:24Speaker 4: You're not following the rules. You're very familiar with how
- 5:27Speaker 4: this works.
- 5:27Speaker 3: No, never served in the weird rules. You ask the
- 5:30Speaker 3: question and I can't answer.
- 5:34Speaker 1: That's what they do. If you say to Wurds reclaiming
- 5:37Speaker 1: my time, I'm reclaiming my time.
- 5:38Speaker 3: It's absolutely wrong about the way the money flows. It's
- 5:41Speaker 3: pretty so straightforward, and I'll share it.
- 5:42Speaker 4: I'm going to have to reclaim the time again.
- 5:45Speaker 3: So what kind of processes they get to answer? Ask questions?
- 5:47Speaker 3: You don't get to answer.
- 5:48Speaker 1: It's my time, the question. I don't know, So why
- 5:52Speaker 1: am I here?
- 5:52Speaker 3: But I don't get to answer your questions? And your
- 5:54Speaker 3: defender reclaiming my time.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Reclaim, but I want to reclaim? Do I get time?
- 5:59Speaker 3: Because you make the fama's horse parents and no one
- 6:01Speaker 3: can talk here.
- 6:02Speaker 1: He's crazy. It's really ridiculous, but it works. They get
- 6:07Speaker 1: their viral videos and then they run them all over
- 6:09Speaker 1: CNN and hey, Scott Besson had to testify in front
- 6:13Speaker 1: of gay This was pretty good. Somehow, I don't know
- 6:17Speaker 1: what they're they're accusing him of anything and everything. And
- 6:19Speaker 1: this Widen, the senator Widen, believe it or not, he's
- 6:25Speaker 1: pushing that there's an Epstein scandal. You got to investigate
- 6:27Speaker 1: the Epstein files, the Epstein list that Well, it turns
- 6:30Speaker 1: out this guy's son is all tangled up with Epstein.
- 6:34Speaker 1: The son's all through the Epstein files. Widen's son runs
- 6:38Speaker 1: some sort of hedge fund, some kind of fund, and
- 6:40Speaker 1: he went to Epstein and saw him in his house
- 6:43Speaker 1: a number of times asking for money. So Widen starts
- 6:47Speaker 1: in on this investn't starts bringing up Epstein, your son
- 6:50Speaker 1: in Epstein.
- 6:50Speaker 2: We would like to hear what Adam Widen and Jeffrey
- 6:53Speaker 2: Epstein talked about. Your son's largest investment position was Rick's cabaret.
- 6:59Speaker 2: So did your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole
- 7:02Speaker 2: dancing as he begged him for money using your limited credibility?
- 7:08Speaker 1: So we don't have the clipper. But apparently Wyden got
- 7:11Speaker 1: crazy and said, I'm not going to answer anything from
- 7:14Speaker 1: the capo of the worst crime family in America. What
- 7:18Speaker 1: for that means but that that's crazy Democrats, totally hysterical, hyperbolic.
- 7:23Speaker 1: So hey, the Knicks last night, big, big, big first
- 7:26Speaker 1: game win. Knicks behind, way behind, but came alive in
- 7:30Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Of these Nicks all these what is
- 7:33Speaker 1: it eleven twelve victories in a row. I mean, they
- 7:35Speaker 1: definitely definitely got a lot of swagger, confidence and they
- 7:39Speaker 1: can pull themselves together. It was an incredible win it.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Crunts it on the drive, Spence Undernea, puts it up,
- 7:46Speaker 2: puts it in, Chanleen.
- 7:48Speaker 4: Pruts it, does it again.
- 7:49Speaker 1: It's a six point lead, but thirty seven seconds left. Yeah,
- 7:54Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty amazing. They had these watch parties. That
- 7:57Speaker 1: was one outside in Madison Square Garden. That was great,
- 8:00Speaker 1: people yelling. But I noticed they're all you watch these
- 8:03Speaker 1: watch parties. Everything's everybody's eighteen nineteen years old. That they
- 8:06Speaker 1: really know about the Knicks, I guess, but they're eighteen
- 8:09Speaker 1: or nineteen. You go to anything that's called the watch party,
- 8:12Speaker 1: you watch anything though, those the show up for it. Hey,
- 8:17Speaker 1: President Trump was great yesterday talking about crazy Jill Biden.
- 8:23Speaker 1: It's the worst rollout of a book ever. It's only
- 8:26Speaker 1: like number fifty on Amazon. And the reason they put
- 8:30Speaker 1: it out now. You want to try to be at
- 8:33Speaker 1: the top of the bestseller list in your first week.
- 8:36Speaker 1: The reason they put it out now is June. This
- 8:39Speaker 1: part of June, beginning of June, first week of June
- 8:42Speaker 1: is the lowest week of the year for book sales.
- 8:45Speaker 1: For whatever reason. Look around Christmas Christmas season, books sales
- 8:50Speaker 1: are way up, way up because everybody's buying them. For
- 8:52Speaker 1: gifts or whatever. The fall, people buy books, But right now,
- 8:56Speaker 1: this week every year, it's the lowest sales week of
- 8:59Speaker 1: the year. So that's why she released it this week.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Because it's such a low sales week. You don't have
- 9:05Speaker 1: to sell too many books to get to be number one.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Another time of year, you'd have to sell a ton
- 9:10Speaker 1: of books to be number one, but during this week
- 9:13Speaker 1: you don't have to sell that many and you can
- 9:14Speaker 1: be high on the list. But it's a terrible book.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Everybody that's read it said, it's just a ridiculous book.
- 9:22Speaker 1: I mean, just nothing to say. Horrible writer, which is funny.
- 9:26Speaker 1: She's an English teacher, although not a big English teacher,
- 9:29Speaker 1: teaches it a community Delaware Community College. But terrible book.
- 9:34Speaker 1: And she had to make up all these lies. And
- 9:38Speaker 1: the presidential debate it was pretty clear Biden had total
- 9:42Speaker 1: cognitive impairment, couldn't talk, couldn't finish a sentence. So she
- 9:46Speaker 1: has to explain this. So she first said, I thought
- 9:49Speaker 1: he was having a stroke, which is a lie. She
- 9:51Speaker 1: didn't think that. She sees them like that every day.
- 9:54Speaker 1: It was to imply that, oh, I've never seen him
- 9:56Speaker 1: like this before. He must be having a stroke. He's
- 9:59Speaker 1: never liked this. Then the problem is we know that
- 10:03Speaker 1: right afterwards she made this whole speech, but how brilliant
- 10:05Speaker 1: he was, and they she took him to a party
- 10:08Speaker 1: at the waffle house. If you're think you're having a stroke,
- 10:11Speaker 1: waffles aren't really a good cure. So that didn't make
- 10:14Speaker 1: any sense. Then she kept changing the lie every day.
- 10:17Speaker 1: So the next day of the lie was well, there
- 10:19Speaker 1: were doctors backstage had they looked at him and said,
- 10:21Speaker 1: he's fine, He's okay. Nobody's falling for any of this.
- 10:24Speaker 1: But President Trump, Miranda Devine asked him about this, So
- 10:27Speaker 1: she said, he had a stroke, But why would she
- 10:29Speaker 1: bring him to a waffle house? If you had a.
- 10:32Speaker 4: Would your wife have allowed you to go off to
- 10:34Speaker 4: a waffle house if she will having a stroke?
- 10:39Speaker 1: You know, although I would. Actually it's not so bad. Yeah,
- 10:42Speaker 1: all right, let's stop saying waffle house. I'm getting hungry here.
- 10:44Speaker 1: So hey, yesterday Scott Pelley, Uh, this guy is the
- 10:50Speaker 1: biggest most arrogant fake news pampus ass in the history
- 10:56Speaker 1: of the world. Totally delusional. Now they've all convinced themselves.
- 11:00Speaker 1: You see this all over the place, all over fake
- 11:04Speaker 1: news television. You see it all over left wing stuff online.
- 11:08Speaker 1: They've all convinced themselves he was fired because of President Trump,
- 11:11Speaker 1: something to do with President Trump. They've convinced themselves President
- 11:16Speaker 1: Trump is the reason Stephen Colbert was fired, the reason
- 11:19Speaker 1: Scott Pelley was fired. Now you look at both cases.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Colbert has no viewers, the show's losing forty million a year,
- 11:27Speaker 1: and CBS not doing very well. You know, everything is down, ratings, revenue,
- 11:33Speaker 1: everything is dramatically down over the years at CBS. So
- 11:35Speaker 1: whenever you get a new owner, first thing a new
- 11:38Speaker 1: owner does is look at what's losing money. What's the
- 11:41Speaker 1: biggest financial disasters. Yet, that's what a new owner does.
- 11:44Speaker 1: You try to clean it up, you know, you try
- 11:47Speaker 1: to trim the fat. So this guy's losing forty million
- 11:51Speaker 1: a year, that's the reason he's gone sixty minutes. Ratings
- 11:53Speaker 1: are down dramatically. Oh, I know, we're up ten percent
- 11:57Speaker 1: from last year. Yeah, but you're down ninety percent from
- 12:00Speaker 1: ten years ago. So they convinced themselves this it's all political.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Now.
- 12:04Speaker 1: The new owner of CBS is David Ellison, son of
- 12:08Speaker 1: Larry Ellison. David Ellison, everybody that knows and will tell
- 12:11Speaker 1: you is not a political guy. He's not particularly political.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Is he a Republican or a Democrat. Nobody knows because
- 12:17Speaker 1: he's not into politics. Couldn't care less. And the new
- 12:21Speaker 1: CBS president, Barry Weiss, it keeps getting lost in the
- 12:26Speaker 1: shuffle here. You keep forgetting she's a Democrat. She's not
- 12:29Speaker 1: a Republican, she's not a Trump supporter. She's a Democrat.
- 12:33Speaker 1: But the problem is she's a normal Democrat, like an
- 12:36Speaker 1: old fashioned Bill Clinton Democrat. She's not a crazy, woke
- 12:40Speaker 1: left wing Trump derangement syndrome kook. She's a Bill Clinton Democrat.
- 12:45Speaker 1: And these other people have gone so far to the
- 12:48Speaker 1: left that to them, an actual Democrat is now a Republican.
- 12:52Speaker 1: So it's not political. Apparently, Barry Weiss now the reason
- 12:58Speaker 1: Scott Pelly got himself fired. I mean he was, you know,
- 13:01Speaker 1: questionable character anyways, getting millions of dollars, delivering nothing that
- 13:05Speaker 1: really does anything for anybody, and he's running fake news
- 13:08Speaker 1: all the time. You know. Ever since he's gone, everybody's
- 13:11Speaker 1: posting all the fake news he pushed through the years,
- 13:14Speaker 1: all of them. They pushed the fake a Russia hoax,
- 13:17Speaker 1: they've covered up the laptop claimed it was for Russian disinformation.
- 13:21Speaker 1: They denied the wire tapping at Trump, the fake news,
- 13:26Speaker 1: they tried that fake Ron Desanta scandal, that they made
- 13:29Speaker 1: up all that kind of stuff. So apparently Berrywise, you know,
- 13:35Speaker 1: you got to decide do we really need this guy.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Then they have the town hall meeting with the new boss,
- 13:42Speaker 1: and he stands up and starts cursing and screaming at
- 13:45Speaker 1: the guy, telling him he's incompetent, you're murdering the place,
- 13:47Speaker 1: tells the guy off, humiliates the guy in front of
- 13:49Speaker 1: the stet horrible. You can't do that anywhere and not
- 13:52Speaker 1: get fired. So the next day they said, let's sit
- 13:56Speaker 1: down and talk and we'll work this out. What you're
- 13:59Speaker 1: what you're angry about. And they try to talk and
- 14:02Speaker 1: he's even worse, tells him off even more, so they
- 14:05Speaker 1: realize nothing can be done. So apparently she called David Ellison,
- 14:09Speaker 1: the new CEO of Skydance Paramount Skydance, and told him
- 14:15Speaker 1: she doesn't know she should fire him or not. And
- 14:17Speaker 1: he's the only thing he said, he said, what's your
- 14:21Speaker 1: tolerance for pain? So, in other words, he said, if
- 14:25Speaker 1: you can take the pain, keep the guy around. But
- 14:27Speaker 1: if you don't want to take all this pain, all
- 14:28Speaker 1: the time from just get rid of him. So he's gone.
- 14:32Speaker 1: He's been putting out all kinds of nonsense statements. He
- 14:37Speaker 1: wrote a letter to the whole staff. This is Scott Pelley. Now,
- 14:41Speaker 1: the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside,
- 14:45Speaker 1: apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump
- 14:48Speaker 1: Administery last month sixty minutes lost his DNA when the
- 14:55Speaker 1: entire senior leadership and two of our best on air
- 14:59Speaker 1: correspond that's were cruelly cruelly fired. I don't think they
- 15:03Speaker 1: were cruelly fired. Don't think they got a nice severance
- 15:05Speaker 1: and all that. They stood for fairness against the forces
- 15:08Speaker 1: of political bias. He's the political bias. He's the worst
- 15:12Speaker 1: political bias we've ever seen. This goes on and on
- 15:16Speaker 1: and on. Uh. For for my part, oh here, listen
- 15:20Speaker 1: to this. Actually, I think they can end up suing him.
- 15:23Speaker 1: They could really sue him. They got a hell of
- 15:25Speaker 1: a case against this guy. They should take him into
- 15:27Speaker 1: court and sue him. He says. For my part, new
- 15:30Speaker 1: management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into
- 15:36Speaker 1: a political story. Now, this is not true. They don't.
- 15:38Speaker 1: Didn't order him to inject falsehoods in there. They ordered
- 15:43Speaker 1: me to inject falsehoods and bias. I've been I've been
- 15:47Speaker 1: told to include assertions that are unverified. Now, what he
- 15:53Speaker 1: really is saying, you know, he gives no examples because
- 15:56Speaker 1: there aren't in What they really did was when he
- 15:59Speaker 1: was doing one of these hatches jobs on Trump or
- 16:01Speaker 1: on some Republican they told him, you've got to go
- 16:04Speaker 1: to the other side and get quotes from them. You've
- 16:07Speaker 1: got to let the other side respond. That's what he's
- 16:10Speaker 1: referring to. To him that was injecting falsehoods and assertations
- 16:15Speaker 1: that were false. They were just telling him, you can't
- 16:18Speaker 1: just do a one sided hit job on somebody. You
- 16:21Speaker 1: got to give the other side a chance to respond,
- 16:23Speaker 1: which he refused to do. Anyway, Well, we've got a
- 16:26Speaker 1: lot to go. We'll get back to Scott Pelley. You've
- 16:27Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about. We'll take some calls. Next.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
