  Speaker 1: You just heard the news.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Now you'll find out what it all means. Hey, smart
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: simone on seven tenor well, hey, we got a lot
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: to catch up on. What a weekend it was, butfull
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: weekend it was. Everybody had all kinds of plans for
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: fourth of July and you get that heat wave Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: it was really impossible to go outside and do much
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: of anything. Saturday, maybe maybe you could go out for
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: a little and then how do you get rid of
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the heat wave like that? Well, you need some rain,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: so we get downpours, ridiculous thunderstorms, some power outages. Even
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: as a result. Hey, by the way, because of the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: heat wave, you did have some power outages in parts
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: of the city and other areas where they did have
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: to shut down a few neighborhoods to keep the power going.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: You can thank Andrew Cuomo for that. Remember the idiot
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: governor Andrew Cuomo who shut down nuclear plant Indian Point.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: That was twenty five percent of our electricity and at
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the time every expert predicted, if you shut that down,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: we're going to have problems in a heat wave keeping
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the power on. It's twenty five percent of our power.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: He took offline, so they were right. We did have
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to shut down a few neighborhoods over the weekend. So
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: it's going to rain today all day to day. Looks
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: like they're talking about flooding and this and that. It
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't look like it's going to be that bad. But
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you know, mayor Mom, Donnie. Anytime there's he's all over television.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Now you know the heat wave, making announcements, flooding, He's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: making announcements all of a sudden, he's your emergency president.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: We'll get to him too. He shocked and I I
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: don't know if he shocked anybody, but he horrified everybody
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: with this awful, disgusting speech on July fourth, You know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: July fourth, the birthday of America. We celebrate America flags
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and fireworks and picnics. This guy, who's been a citizen
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: for about twenty minutes, he just became a citizen eight
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: years ago, decides he'll do a lecture. He'll lecture us
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: on what America means. This is just what we need.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: A Muslim from Uganda trying to explain America to us.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And he decides he'll do it at George Washington's desk
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and nobody can figure out why he had the desk
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: backwards where the drawers come out. That's where you're supposed
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to be sitting. He had that facing out, and he
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: sat on the other side. He sat. The desk was backwards.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: He was backwards talking about how crazy America is with
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: awful speech.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: There are some who respond to those who ask for
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: more from America with a simple refrain. Love it or
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: leave it, they say, But patriotism has never been about
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: of righteous assent.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Now you these lefties, they don't like America, and I
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: don't know, maybe they'd love their country, but they don't
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: like their country. They don't like any of this. They
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: don't like football, they don't like hot dogs, they don't
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: like the Fourth of July. They don't like fireworks, they
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: don't want to see the flag. They hate all of this.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: They just hate it all. They just look, you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it's communists, socialists. They don't like democracy that rad Remember
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: we used to we used to have to go to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Vietnam to fight communism. Now we got to go to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: New York and Seattle and fight it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: We see monopolies that dominate every industry, and oligarchs who
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: buy elections. We see massed agents terrorizing our streets, eating
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: in unmarked vans.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Oligarchs that buy elections. The biggest one is Soros. Your guy,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: your guy, the guy who's funding you. Soros, that's the
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: oligarch buying elections. But he'll give you these lectures about
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: everything that's wrong. Monopolies, a disgusting monopolies. I guess he's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: talking about Apple and Amazon. Could you imagine life without
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Apple and Amazon? You know how grateful you got to
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: be to these two companies. Do you even remember what
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: life was like before Apple or Amazon? Do you even
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: remember that? Oh, you might have had a cell phone,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: a Motorola Star tack, Remember that you open it the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: flip phone. You could make a call, you could get
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: a call, but you couldn't read your email. You couldn't
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: go online. You remember your kids today? There was no Instagram,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: there was no Facebook. What did we do back then?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to even remember what did you do all day?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: You're sitting on the on a subway, when you were
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: sitting in the back of a car, what did you
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: look at I don't remember. I guess you had to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: bring a book. Yeah, if you look at pictures of
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: people on the subway commuters back in the eighties, every
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: one of them's got the newspaper and open. They're all
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: reading the news. We had to read the newspaper. But
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that's just the news. I mean, you couldn't. You couldn't
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: see what everybody had for lunch. You couldn't. But there
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: was no TikTok Instagram. There was nothing back then. You
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: don't know how primitive it was back then. So Mom, Donnie,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and what did you do before Amazon? You had actually
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: go somewhere and buy things. You had to go to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: a store. They'd put it in a bag, you had
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to carry it home. There was like the flint Stones.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: There was a primitive world back then. So if you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: watch those Sunday shows, they just sit there all day
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: at night trying to convince you that everything about Trump
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: is wrong. He look at the way he's profiting off
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the pay Why he made two billion last year? Check
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: their record. He makes about two billion every year for
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the last twenty years. You know. And if you're a guy,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: he went into office with about seven billion when you
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: got seven billion and you start investing it, you can
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: easily make two billion. It's not that hard. But and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: then they really are trying to get him on this
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: reflecting pool. That's that big, enormous pool in Washington, DC.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: The president had redone. Now you got to remember, what
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: are the odds of this? You got a pool that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: needs fixing. And for the first and only time in
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the history of the Earth, you got a president of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the United States who's an expert at fixing pools. When
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: are you ever going to have a president ever again
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: who's built a couple hundred pool swimming pool, so he
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: knows every swimming pool company, knows exactly what it's supposed
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: to cost, what they need to do, knows everything about pools,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the odds of that. So he brings in the top
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: swimming pool companies used a one hundred times and they
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: fix it. But it was vandalism. It was definitely vandalism.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Somebody cut the lining in there. And so but they're
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: trying to get him on this that he's done something wrong.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: A final cost, I think was fourteen million. They're yelling
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and screaming about that. Now a few years ago Obama
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: fixed it for thirty four million, three times the cost,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and it was a disaster. As soon as he fixed
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it, it was all algae and everything. They never mentioned this,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: they never mentioned. But now the Sunday Show, this is
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: George Stephanopolis, The Sunday Show, Meet the Press this week
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: with David Brinkley Faced the Nation. These used to be
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: shows that look at the most important issues foreign policy,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: world affairs. Now they're discussing swimming pool linings. Why because
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: they think they're going to get trumplessness. Stephanopolis, go after
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Doug Bergen and the pool is going to be drained
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: at least in part.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: And you've also put your putting out solicitations for new bits.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: So the pool is not fixed right now, is it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Well, it's fixing the six it's no longer leaking forty
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: five thousand gallons a day. And we've got less than
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: one tenth of one percent of that industrial liner that's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: been damaged and that's the only thing that remains to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: go back and fix the damage done by the vandals.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Which was vandalized. Why because of Stephanopolis, because of the
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: fake news riling up these crazy Trump haters who are
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: defacing the pool. And now they've got video of them.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: They've arrested one already. They'll get these people, they'll arrest them.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: But it was defaced.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: The real story here is how did we let this
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: nation's capital fall into such a disrepair where we had
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a monument after monument, statue after statue found now after
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: fountain covered with graffiti anti American graffiti, and how that
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: was never reported this story and now when President Trump
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: goes to fix it up, that becomes the story.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: That's a very good point here, Stephan ups. But but
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: but he's like a little pit pull. I got a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: little poodle trying to bite Bergham's legs. He's just fake news.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Just go after him the pull. Now, by the way, again,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the odds of this that you need the pool fixed
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: and you got a president who's an expert at fixing pools,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: who's done it hundreds of times. This is how lucky
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: could we be? Well, Congress is now saying they're going
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: to investigate this. How did this pool contractor get the contract?
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Why wasn't it put out for bidding? Because whenever the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: government does it and they put out bids and all that,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: next thing, you know, donors get it. The next thing
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you know, they're allowed to do cost overruns, and that's
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: how Obama got it to thirty four million instead of
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: fourteen million. So the Congress is going to investigate this again.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: You got a president who's built two hundred pool maybe
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty pools in his life. But the
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: real expert, Adam Shift, needs to take a look at this.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Adam Shiff and AOC and Maxine Waters. They'll investigate this
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: because nobody knows more about construction, building, building swimming pools
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: than Adam Shift or people like that. Hey, the Taylor
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Swift wedding, it looks like the total cost was fifteen
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: million dollars fifteen million, a lot of that to transform
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Mason Square Garden. It was quite a wedding. Everybody there said, hey,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: by the way, this is Taylor Swift who's always yelling
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and screaming against Trump. She hates the border, she hates
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: walls the border. Meantime, she constructs the biggest border around
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden with walls and police and you had
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: to show photo ID to get in. But when you
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: entered the floors of the walls ceiling, everything was draped
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: in peach and white, large blown up pictures of Taylor
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: and Travis at each age, year by year, from one
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: year old to a teenage today. A small portion of
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: msg was cordoned off, devoid of any sign of basketball
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: or hockey or anything like that. And it says magically
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Well that's a great setting. But you know, you could
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: save fifteen million and actually hold the wedding at a
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: lush garden in a beautiful seaside retreat. You could actually
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: go find a real one and do it there. Everything
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: was draped off in green and white, real flowers and
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: big artificial trees, fifteen rows of trees, fifteen rows of chairs,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: seventy five or so chairs around this garden. This was
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: for the actual wedding. You could actually go somewhere where
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: they got trees and flowers and a garden and hold
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: it there and save yourself fifteen million. But hey, if
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Madison Square garden means something there because she's appeared there,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: if it has sentimental value, importance and her, okay, let
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: her spend the money. So they had the wedding the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: first night. The truth is they got married before they
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: went to the garden. They were already married. They got
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a marriage licensed city hall. They won't say where they
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: got married. It's believed to be Tennessee, where she's from.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: But they were already married. So they went through this
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: ceremony and who officiated, Adam Sandler A nice guy. But
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: could you think of anybody goofier nuttier? Why would you
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the symbolic idea of a goofy nutty guy marrying you,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I would think that's kind of a curse, kind of
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a jinx. And there were mellow romantic songs played, violins
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and cellos playing. As the wedding party came in. Travis
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: in a white tuxedo tailor in a stunning white wedding
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: dress with a long veiled train. Apparently Christian Dior did
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the wedding. They don't usually do wedding dresses, but this
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: was a custom special one. Then the vows were very long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent. Okay,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: their families were there, most all the families were there.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: And then the next night was the party that was
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: over a thousand people. It began at about four o'clock
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: cocktails five point thirty the actual party, and it went
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: till like four in the morning, although you saw a
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: lot of people leaving very early. You know, George Stephanoppolis
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: was invited, Stephen Colpier was invited. This was not a
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Trump friendly wedding, Nope, not at all. Nope. I didn't
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: see him invite Sean Hannity. I didn't see any Trump
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: supporters invited. Nope. So ad five, listen to this. The trees,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: this is what they need Madson Square Garden. The trees
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: were five stories tall. Five stories is that unbelievable. But again,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: you could go somewhere where they got five story trees.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: You don't have to, you know what. That's why it's
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: fifteen million to bring them into Madison Square Garden. Wasn't
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: easy to do, so thank god it's over. It did
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: disrupt a lot of Midtown Manhattan, a lot of that area, traffic,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: everything disrupted. Now hopefully she won't have her other weddings
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: in Madison Square, and hopefully the next few weddings will
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: be somewhere else. How long do you give this thing?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Five years? I'd say five years. If i'd a bet, I'd
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: bet five years, five years, six years. It seems like
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: she likes a lot of publicity, a lot of publicity.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: It's all very carefully staged to get attention. They have
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: these sort of weddings all the time in New York
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: all the time. But they're in the Waldorf Ballroom, they're
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: in the Pierre Ballroom, They're in places like that where
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: they spend millions. You wouldn't believe how much they spend
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: on these things. Some of these weddings you don't even
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: hear about them to keep them quiet. It's usually not
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: famous people, but it's Oligark's billionaires, you know, the people
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie hates. But they'll have a wedding in the Waldorf.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: They'll spend a million dollars just transforming the room. Sometimes
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: they'll spend ten million on the entertainment. Yeah. Yeah, they'll
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: bring in like three four major artists. You know, if
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you want Paul McCartney to sing at your wedding, he
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: sang at this wedding, you can do that. You just
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: got to pay triple price. Call the CIA or William Morris,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: whoever their agent is. They do private dates every major star,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: even Taylor Swift, they do private dates three times the
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: normal price. She probably, let's say McCartney gets I don't
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: know let's say a couple million a night, so it's going
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: to cost you six million to get them. But they'll
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: do it. They'll do so. There are billionaires that have
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: three or four superstars perform at their wedding and spend
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a fortune on everything. But that's that's happening all the time.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: But they keep it quiet. They're not publicity hounds. In fact,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: they go onto their way to make sure nobody hears
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: about it. This is the opposite. She did donate twenty
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: six million charity to make up for this, boyd Does
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: that show a guilty conscience? All of a sudden she
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: donates It's great that she did it, but all of
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: a sudden she donates twenty six million to charity. Definitely
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: signs of a guilty conscience. By the way, when you
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: give money to charity, you're not supposed to tell anybody.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: You're just supposed to do it. That's the rule. If
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: you tell anybody, it means you did it for the
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: wrong reasons. So anyway, we'll get back. We'll get back
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: well in the next hour, we'll have our wedding expert
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: gossip columnist to tell us all about it. Rob Shooter
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: will be here later he's very good on this. Hey,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls next. Oh, I want to wish
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: happy birthday to Avery rising star here at iHeart. Avery
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: started with us a few months ago. Avery AMR. Is
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: doing a great job. Everybody's nice to him because I
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: think this guy will be like the president of the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: company by the end of the year. He's a good kid,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: twenty one years old. Today. We'll take some calls next.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
