  Speaker 1: Now more mark them seven time. Well, Michael Goodwin the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: best columnist in America. You can read his column every
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Sunday and every Wednesday in the New York Post. If
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you go to New York Post website, all of his
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: columns are up there, and he's with us now, Michael Goodwin,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: how you.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Doing, Good morning, Mark, Thank you.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Great column yesterday. The headline is the New York Times
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: hate filled agenda drags on. And let's point out you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: worked at the New York Times when it was the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: real New York Times. What the hell happened over there
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to that place?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like to say I did my undergraduate work there,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: but I got my BA and moved on. But look,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: it is this particular story. I mean, the Times has
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: lost its way for a very long time. But this
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: particular story I think is borderline dangerous because what it
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: tries to do is paint Donald Trump as something of
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a stooge to Benjamin Netanyahoo. That Netting Yahoo came into
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the situation room with his staff, and the President's national
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: security team was there and they just Times described in
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: great detail what it calls netting Yahoo's hard sell to
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: go to war with Israel against Iran. And you know, Mike,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it's the situation. Room is supposedly secret, top secret, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: yet there are lots of quotations in the articles from
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the President's cabinet and even the president himself. So somebody
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: in that room is leaking these secret deliberations. I don't
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: know who. The Times doesn't say, but it quotes very
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: has very long quotations which could only have come if
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: they're act from somebody in the room. I think a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: criminal investigation is warranted.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but this New York Times, though, you know, for
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: four years they're writing articles. But he doesn't listen. Trump
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: won't listen. He doesn't listen. Now the article is all
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: he does is listen to them.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right. And look, it's part
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: of this larger picture of the antisemitism spreading, blaming Israel
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: for the war, when, as I point out, what the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: story doesn't talk about it at all, is how Trump
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: has been on a decade long quest to stop around
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: from getting a nuclear weapon. He has been entirely consistent
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: about that. From ten years ago until yesterday. He has
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: always said we cannot let them have a nuclear weapon.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: They are the world's single largest exporter of terrorism. So
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: he's talked about hamas hez Villa, and so none of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: those groups make an appearance in this time story, as
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: though Israel has no real legitimate reason to go to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Iran go to war with Iran, and therefore in the
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: United States he hasn't even less legitimate reason. And so
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: President Trump has hoodwinked by data yahoo. I mean, it's
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: just it's a scandalous idea to start with, but to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: paint it as a result of that meeting, and he
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: just ignores the trail of history.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a slight correction. He's been saying for forty years
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that if he were president, he would go after Iran.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: In fact, the oldest interview where he said it was
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: forty six years ago, so.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Right right after the Io Tolds came to power in
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine. But this issue of a nuclear weapons
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: goes to the top of the list, beyond anything else
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Iran has done. If it were to have a nuclear weapon,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: it has made it clear it would use it first
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: on Israel and probably on the United States if it
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: gets the missile system so it can deliver a nuclear
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: warhead on the east coasts of the United States. That's
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: what it says it will do.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know for years politicians actually both sides that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: they've had these promises, a handful of promises they make
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: every campaign. I'll end their dependence on foreign oil. Right,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Trump did it. He wiped out this promise. They can't
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: use it anymore. And the other one was I'll take
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: care of a ran out disarmament. Well, now he took
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that one off the table. Is that why they're getting
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: so mad? They're losing their campaign promises?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Right? And what would they do? I mean they when
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you listen to the New York Times and or the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Democrat Party, same thing. They have this food of criticism,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: but they never give you an alternative vision. How do
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you drive down gasoline prices if you won't drill for oil,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: if you won't make the United States energy independent as
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Trump has done. What would there answer be on more
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: electric cards? I guess I mean the green climate stuff
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: that has driven up the cost of energy everywhere. I mean,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and they talk about influation, they talk about New York
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: being unaffordable. Whether green climate things are one of the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: reasons why New York has become unaffordable any state that
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: has adopted that sort of stuff has gotten more expensive,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: so Democrats don't have a coherent alternative idea.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody read the Michael Goodwin's Calm from yesterday, very
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: very good company. But again, what happened in New York
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Times in the good old days. The Arthur Gelbs, the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Max whatever.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: His name was, Dake Frankel, Arosenthal is the dean of
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: it allus at the same time, we're very straight line Americans.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: They were not partisans. They were Americans first, and that's
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: what's changed. The New York Times is now run by
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: progressive Democrats, and they all for the walk in lockstep
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: with the Democratic Party. If you just look at the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: headlines on any given day, they'll talk about experts. Worry,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: who are the experts, right, the Ivy League professors or
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the experts always? I mean, that's who their readership is
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: aimed at. And that's the way that they think that
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: there's one way to look at the world, and it's
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: our way.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Although I should point out the Times traditionally, historically has
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: always been anti israel an anti Jewish, going back to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: World War Two. Why is that?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know it has Again, I can
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: only think that I know that there have been battles
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: within over this, but ultimately they have taken this very
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: kind of worldly view about, you know, the way to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: look at the global map, and it has always been
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a kind of Harvard or Ivy League idea of how
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the world works, what politics is a really about. They've
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: always looked looked down their nose at politics. They find
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that a grimy, dirty profession, and so they don't really
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: have respect for ideas that don't match their own.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was. Did you hear President Trump the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: other day go after the New York Times? How it
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: used to be the paper record? It used to be
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the Yeah it was.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: It was. I mean, as I say, I got my
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: straining there and it was great. And I still look
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: back on that New York Times as the real New
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: York Times.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Well it's a great column. You can read Michael Goodwin's column.
