- 0:00Speaker 1: Always this step ahead of the news. Here's more marks
- 0:03Speaker 1: alone on seven to ten wor Hey, it could be
- 0:08Speaker 1: another beautiful day, bright sunny, beautiful day, but gridlock alert
- 0:15Speaker 1: day to day because of that FIFA stuff. Is it
- 0:18Speaker 1: actie watching this? I know around the world that's big,
- 0:20Speaker 1: but anybody here actually watching FIFA. I don't even like
- 0:25Speaker 1: to say FIFA. But the closing the forty second street
- 0:29Speaker 1: to regular traffic, it'll be all buses and all kinds
- 0:33Speaker 1: of stuff like that, so it will be a mess
- 0:37Speaker 1: a traffic wise. I don't even think of driving into
- 0:39Speaker 1: midtown Manhattan today. You're not going to want to do that. So, hey,
- 0:44Speaker 1: there was a terrorist plot. An FBI has uncovered this
- 0:49Speaker 1: terrorist plot, very very serious plot to kill a lot
- 0:53Speaker 1: of people at the UFC fight at the White House
- 0:57Speaker 1: Sunday night. You know, there's a big crowd there and
- 1:01Speaker 1: a lot of big VIPs, the big, big crowd there.
- 1:06Speaker 1: They set up that UFC cage thing, the ring at
- 1:10Speaker 1: the White House, and then they had invited a big
- 1:13Speaker 1: number of people. And if you look through the crowd,
- 1:16Speaker 1: not only will you see the cabinet all sorts of
- 1:18Speaker 1: top officials, but you'll see a lot of famous people
- 1:21Speaker 1: in that crowd, Mark Zuckerberg and a million other big names,
- 1:25Speaker 1: and they're not to mention a lot of anchor people,
- 1:27Speaker 1: a lot of I Greg Kelly from Newsmax, a few
- 1:30Speaker 1: other people I could see in these pictures here, a
- 1:34Speaker 1: lot of Fox people so and a lot of invited guests. Now,
- 1:40Speaker 1: the FBI has arrested five people for this terrorist plot.
- 1:45Speaker 1: They say there are twenty three total people connected to this.
- 1:48Speaker 1: They haven't gotten the other eighteen people yet, but it
- 1:53Speaker 1: looks like the plot was involving drones. The drones would
- 1:58Speaker 1: fly over this event, you know, no fly zone, but
- 2:02Speaker 1: they would fly over anyway and do something horrible which
- 2:07Speaker 1: would cause everybody to run a stampede out into the
- 2:11Speaker 1: street where they had Supposedly the drones would have them
- 2:16Speaker 1: come out to a certain area and then when the
- 2:19Speaker 1: big crowd was in that area, snipers would fire at
- 2:22Speaker 1: the crowd. And apparently they would have snipers staged all
- 2:25Speaker 1: ready to go. Now, I can't imagine that the White
- 2:28Speaker 1: House doesn't have some kind of anti drone defenses that
- 2:31Speaker 1: they could stop a drone. I probably I would think
- 2:35Speaker 1: they can. And as far as snipers hiding in the
- 2:40Speaker 1: nearby surrounding blocks. I would think they sweeped that pretty well,
- 2:45Speaker 1: but this was a pretty serious plot. Congratulations to Cash
- 2:48Speaker 1: but Tell and the FBI for uncovering it. Again. Five arrests,
- 2:53Speaker 1: they're looking for the other twenty three. They believe, well,
- 2:56Speaker 1: it was terrorism, but they believe it was some kind
- 3:00Speaker 1: of Muslim definitely anti Semitic. Some of the messages they
- 3:04Speaker 1: found were very very anti Israel. And from what they've
- 3:08Speaker 1: found with these five guys, with their writings, their messages,
- 3:11Speaker 1: they believe that this crowd would be a lot of
- 3:13Speaker 1: billionaires who were involved with Israel, to taking money from
- 3:17Speaker 1: Israel or funding Israel, that sort of stuff. So definitely terrorism,
- 3:21Speaker 1: definitely anti Semitic stuff. But it was busted up. The
- 3:24Speaker 1: FBI was onto it. Let's today sixteenth, June tenth, so
- 3:31Speaker 1: they've been on it for a week. Again, they've arrested five,
- 3:34Speaker 1: they'll get the others. Twenty three total they believe were
- 3:38Speaker 1: involved in that. So the Nicks celebrating everywhere. They were
- 3:43Speaker 1: on Good Morning America, they were on the Today Show,
- 3:46Speaker 1: they were on Jimmy Fallon. It's not the whole team.
- 3:49Speaker 1: It's like when you got a big team, you can
- 3:51Speaker 1: split it up. You four guys do this show. You
- 3:53Speaker 1: four guys do that show. So it's pretty good. They
- 3:56Speaker 1: were all over town. The coach last night, the polo,
- 4:00Speaker 1: the ralf Loreenz polo bar down there in that basement.
- 4:03Speaker 1: But when he walked in, everybody in the restaurant stood,
- 4:08Speaker 1: standing ovation. That happens. At least that happened at George Steinbinner
- 4:11Speaker 1: all the time, when he'd walk into a Lanes or
- 4:14Speaker 1: Fresco or wherever he went, or PJ Clarks, when he'd
- 4:18Speaker 1: walk in after the victory, after the World Championship standing ovation.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I remember going there once. This would have been ninety eight.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Bill Few, Gayzy Me, George Steinbinner, Donald Trump. We walked
- 4:34Speaker 1: into Fresco. They had won the World Series a day before,
- 4:39Speaker 1: and we walked into Fresco lunchtime. The whole crowd stood
- 4:42Speaker 1: and applauded standing ovation. Actually shouldn't say this, but it's true,
- 4:48Speaker 1: Trump said, waving, waving to the crowd, And I said,
- 4:52Speaker 1: I think it's for George. Oh, but that happens. It's
- 5:00Speaker 1: funny the Yankees are playing tonight. You don't even hear
- 5:02Speaker 1: about it anymore. I don't even I'm the biggest baseball
- 5:06Speaker 1: fan of the world. Never been a basketball fan of
- 5:08Speaker 1: my life. Now that's all I think about is the
- 5:10Speaker 1: Knicks don't paying attention. After what this Knicks series look
- 5:14Speaker 1: like a baseball game that seems like nothing. Now the Mets,
- 5:18Speaker 1: it seems like nothing. Now, I never understood how basketball
- 5:21Speaker 1: got so popular, but now I have to. Having to
- 5:23Speaker 1: watch a few of these games, I'm starting to see it.
- 5:26Speaker 1: It just keeps moving. I mean, it's kind of repetitive.
- 5:28Speaker 1: You know, they dribble this way, then they drible that way,
- 5:30Speaker 1: then they drible this way, then they drivele that way.
- 5:33Speaker 1: It's a little repetitive, but it's it never stops moving.
- 5:38Speaker 1: It's always moving. I could see why in the Twitter
- 5:41Speaker 1: world it became a bigger sport because it never stops moving,
- 5:44Speaker 1: whereas baseball, you know, it's very slow. And I know
- 5:49Speaker 1: they got these new rules. You know, you can't you
- 5:51Speaker 1: have to pitch within a certain amount of time. But
- 5:54Speaker 1: you know, he looks at the he doesn't like to sign,
- 5:57Speaker 1: nods his head and it shakes his head and the
- 5:59Speaker 1: catcher gives him another sign. Now he throws and it's
- 6:03Speaker 1: a ball, and now he gets the ball back. You know,
- 6:08Speaker 1: he just fiddles around for a while, the batter scratching him.
- 6:11Speaker 1: So you gotta wait through all this. And then he
- 6:13Speaker 1: throws again. You got to change the rules of baseball
- 6:17Speaker 1: to get rid of all this stuff. And then the
- 6:19Speaker 1: guy's on base, he takes a little lead off. They
- 6:21Speaker 1: throw a pitch over the first base, he goes back,
- 6:25Speaker 1: he takes a little lead off. They throw another pitch
- 6:27Speaker 1: over the first But you gotta wait through all this stuff.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Speed it up, Speed up the game, and make it
- 6:31Speaker 1: more like a basketball. Change the rules, give her to that.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Balls and strikes, eliminate whatever it is. You gotta swing,
- 6:40Speaker 1: care what it is, or do something more interesting, like
- 6:44Speaker 1: if you hit the batter, that's a strike, Now it
- 6:48Speaker 1: means you walk. Make it a strike that way, make
- 6:51Speaker 1: the game much much much more interesting. Hey, Epstein kills himself,
- 6:57Speaker 1: and then there's all that controversy for soul long he
- 7:01Speaker 1: was murdered. Now, a lot of that came from the
- 7:04Speaker 1: fact they believe that Epstein knew about Bill Clinton and
- 7:09Speaker 1: all these big zillionaires, and they were all pedophiles, and
- 7:12Speaker 1: they were all with underage women. So of course he
- 7:14Speaker 1: had to be killed to silence. And well, we know
- 7:16Speaker 1: now that it wasn't all these guys with underage women.
- 7:19Speaker 1: With Bill Clinton, there were women around, but they were
- 7:22Speaker 1: all older. And as far as the young underage women,
- 7:26Speaker 1: that was Epstein, maybe a couple of his friends, I
- 7:29Speaker 1: think Prince Andrew, but that was it, you know, the
- 7:32Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of them, it was not
- 7:35Speaker 1: women it was and if it was women like Bill
- 7:39Speaker 1: Gates or Bill Clinton, it was older women. So the
- 7:43Speaker 1: motive to murder him really isn't there anymore. And he
- 7:48Speaker 1: did have a cell mate, and the cellmte is now
- 7:50Speaker 1: telling prosecutors that Epstein tried to kill himself a few times,
- 7:58Speaker 1: that he was figuring out a couple of times he
- 8:00Speaker 1: tried making nooses. He tried to coming up with different
- 8:04Speaker 1: ways to hang himself. So apparently, if you believe this guy,
- 8:08Speaker 1: it's also a remember at times people suspected this guy
- 8:12Speaker 1: former cop actually they suspected this guy of maybe being
- 8:15Speaker 1: the killer. But if it wasn't murder and it was suicide,
- 8:20Speaker 1: then this guy certainly wasn't guilty of anything. So but
- 8:24Speaker 1: he is testifying that a couple of times he in
- 8:27Speaker 1: the cell saw Epstein working on nooses and even asked
- 8:30Speaker 1: him about it. A couple of times, how to hang himself. Now,
- 8:33Speaker 1: if you're Epstein and you got arrested in years before,
- 8:39Speaker 1: and you hired Alan Derschwitz, and you hired all these
- 8:41Speaker 1: top lawyers, and you fought like crazy the case and
- 8:44Speaker 1: spent millions fighting the case, and this is a local
- 8:47Speaker 1: case in Palm Beach. He didn't beat it. He got convicted,
- 8:51Speaker 1: and he did go to prison a little. He was
- 8:54Speaker 1: in jail for a while briefly, and then he was
- 8:57Speaker 1: in a half way house and he had a sleep
- 8:59Speaker 1: in the halfway as for about a year every night.
- 9:02Speaker 1: So if you went through that and then years later
- 9:06Speaker 1: you get arrested again, only this time it's federal. This time,
- 9:13Speaker 1: it's much more serious. This time they got a lot
- 9:15Speaker 1: more stuff on you, and you know you're going to
- 9:16Speaker 1: go to real prison. If you're a guy like Epstein,
- 9:21Speaker 1: and a guy he could have gone to prison for
- 9:22Speaker 1: the rest of his life. How old was he, I
- 9:26Speaker 1: don't know, Probably very late sixties, so it would have
- 9:30Speaker 1: been the rest of his life. A guy like that
- 9:33Speaker 1: probably would kill himself. He'd makes the decision. It's like
- 9:37Speaker 1: a calculated business decision. Do I really want to spend
- 9:40Speaker 1: the rest of my life in prison or just end
- 9:42Speaker 1: it now. So you know, officially it's been declared it
- 9:47Speaker 1: was suicide, but it's looking more and more like that.
- 9:50Speaker 1: I know, the conspiracy theories, you know, those people that
- 9:53Speaker 1: believe in him, never stop believing no matter what. Hey,
- 9:57Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz was his lawyer in two thousand and eight
- 10:02Speaker 1: in that case, and when Epstein was gonna go to
- 10:07Speaker 1: jail there he obviously had to tell Dershowitz anything and
- 10:11Speaker 1: everything he knew. Was he really a CIA agent? Was
- 10:16Speaker 1: he really helping the mazade? Was he really well? Of
- 10:18Speaker 1: course he had to tell Dershwitz all of this stuff
- 10:21Speaker 1: because he could have used it to beat the charge
- 10:24Speaker 1: or to get out of it. And Dershowitz said there
- 10:27Speaker 1: was nothing, He didn't have anything like that. There were
- 10:29Speaker 1: no government connections that really meant anything, no intelligence community connections,
- 10:34Speaker 1: otherwise they would have traded to beat the charge. But
- 10:38Speaker 1: Dershowitz has asked over and over again to testify before
- 10:41Speaker 1: this Epstein committee that James Comer is running. So he
- 10:45Speaker 1: will testify. I think it's next week. But this is
- 10:47Speaker 1: Dershowitz asking for this. Every time he saw Comer, he
- 10:52Speaker 1: demanded that they call him as a witness. He said,
- 10:54Speaker 1: I was so close to this guy for a couple
- 10:56Speaker 1: of years. I know a lot of stuff. It's crazy
- 10:58Speaker 1: not to call me. So he will come testify. That's
- 11:03Speaker 1: going to be pretty interesting stuff. Hey, Mom, Donnie, about
- 11:11Speaker 1: the parade, it's this this Thursday.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Let me say is part of the reason we're having
- 11:17Speaker 2: this parade on Thursday is to ensure the players have
- 11:19Speaker 2: enough time to bring their families because they've been working
- 11:21Speaker 2: their entire life for this. It may well be the
- 11:24Speaker 2: largest parade in New York City history, and I think
- 11:27Speaker 2: that speaks to what this team means to this city.
- 11:29Speaker 2: It also speaks to fifty three years of waiting.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, hopefully there's no violence. You know, you remember
- 11:37Speaker 1: after the victory on sat In that terrible violence and
- 11:42Speaker 1: buses set on fire. I mean real violence, ugly stuff.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Somebody got shot, there were a number of stabbings. You
- 11:48Speaker 1: can't have that kind of stuff, And unfortunately we got
- 11:52Speaker 1: this mayor and the police commissioner is trying, but she
- 11:55Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of police experience. She really doesn't
- 11:59Speaker 1: have much any police experience before becoming commissioner. Previously she
- 12:03Speaker 1: had been in the police department for years. But that
- 12:05Speaker 1: was in an it job, not law enforcement. So if
- 12:10Speaker 1: you had a more experienced police commissioner, this would have
- 12:13Speaker 1: not happened. It would have gotten stopped quickly. You would
- 12:16Speaker 1: have had the riot squad ready to go. You would
- 12:18Speaker 1: have had the horses, the mounted unit. They can break
- 12:21Speaker 1: that up pretty fast. But you know, and again, can't
- 12:26Speaker 1: just blame her. This is Mom Donnie, you know who
- 12:28Speaker 1: doesn't like that kind of stuff. They had a special squad,
- 12:31Speaker 1: a riot squad, they could call it immediately. Mom Donnie's
- 12:33Speaker 1: been putting that to bed, getting rid of that. Here's
- 12:37Speaker 1: Mom Donnie on all the violands.
- 12:38Speaker 2: And these kinds of threats. As you've said from Tom
- 12:40Speaker 2: Homan and the federal administration, they're not new.
- 12:42Speaker 1: And you wait, wrong, clip wrong, clip. Now this is different.
- 12:45Speaker 1: This is here's a good example about Mom Donnie and
- 12:48Speaker 1: law enforcement. Mom Donnie, if there was some federal law
- 12:54Speaker 1: enforcement agency, we're going to come in and get a
- 12:56Speaker 1: bunch of criminals off your street, the illegal immigrants, illegal
- 13:01Speaker 1: aliens who are committing crimes, gang members, robbers, rapist. Could
- 13:06Speaker 1: you imagine the mayor you got to deal with this.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Imagine if there was a federal law enforcementgency that would
- 13:12Speaker 1: come in and get all these people, arrest them and
- 13:15Speaker 1: take them out of your city. Wouldn't you be so
- 13:18Speaker 1: grateful and thankful that there to be a federal agency
- 13:21Speaker 1: when you be sending thank you notes to the administration,
- 13:24Speaker 1: not Mom, Donnie, you No, he wants to wants to
- 13:27Speaker 1: get rid of this. He wants those illegal criminals running around.
- 13:31Speaker 2: These kinds of threats. As you've said, from Tom Homan
- 13:33Speaker 2: and the federal administration, they're not new, and neither will
- 13:35Speaker 2: our response be. We continue to be proud of being
- 13:38Speaker 2: a sanctuary city, we continue to be ready to stand
- 13:41Speaker 2: up for our immigrant neighbors, and we continue to be
- 13:43Speaker 2: ready to use every single tool at our disposal.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Crazy. He's crazy. Imagine that guy that says, I'll send
- 13:50Speaker 1: in some troops and they will round up the worst
- 13:52Speaker 1: criminals and take them out of your city. And he says, oh,
- 13:56Speaker 1: I will not be threatened like that. How dare you
- 13:58Speaker 1: threaten me like that? It's like if somebody said we're
- 14:02Speaker 1: going to come in here and clean up your studio
- 14:03Speaker 1: and vacuum and clean everything. How dare you threaten me
- 14:07Speaker 1: with that? He's crazy, He's just crazy, But we're stuck
- 14:12Speaker 1: with him for how much longer? Three and a half
- 14:15Speaker 1: more years of this three and a half more years,
- 14:18Speaker 1: all right, we got through half a year. We'll see
- 14:20Speaker 1: what happens. Let me just check. Stock market is way up,
- 14:27Speaker 1: I think yep, yep, fifty two thousand. Just check the
- 14:31Speaker 1: price of oil. Ooh, it's dropping even more, down to
- 14:34Speaker 1: seventy seven dollars a gallon. That's down from like a
- 14:38Speaker 1: one hundred and ten seventy seven a barrel. It's down
- 14:42Speaker 1: dramatically now before the war, it was in the mid sixties.
- 14:45Speaker 1: So we're getting pretty close to getting back to where
- 14:48Speaker 1: it was. That would be pretty amazing. Hey, speaking of
- 14:53Speaker 1: illegals and criminal illegals, and you know they become robbers
- 14:57Speaker 1: and rapists and gang members. And also it's a big
- 15:01Speaker 1: source of the drug business. Pete Hegxith. Now you got
- 15:05Speaker 1: Homan going after these drug cartel types and arresting them
- 15:09Speaker 1: on the streets. But Hexith now talking about setting up
- 15:11Speaker 1: a military operation to wipe out the cartels back in
- 15:15Speaker 1: Mexico or wherever they are.
- 15:17Speaker 3: It's called the America's Counter Cartel Coalition a Triple C,
- 15:20Speaker 3: and we're forming it with partner governments all around Central
- 15:22Speaker 3: and South America to go after, defeat and destroy foreign
- 15:26Speaker 3: terrorist organizations, drug cartels, and all those countries you named
- 15:30Speaker 3: are stepping up to work on partnerships with the United States.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Wow. Now, Chris mom donne would say.
- 15:36Speaker 2: How dare you?
- 15:36Speaker 1: We will block you, block your effort to do I
- 15:40Speaker 1: don't know how we got in this How did we
- 15:43Speaker 1: get in this mess with these people? Anyway, we'll take
- 15:45Speaker 1: some calls. Next eight hundred three to two one zero
- 15:48Speaker 1: seven ten is the number, eight hundred three to two,
- 15:52Speaker 1: one zero seven ten.
