Hour 2: Who is Spencer Pratt? · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Insight from the inside.
0:03
Speaker 2: This is seven to ten wars marks show.
0:09
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey, big news of the Palm Beach Airport, as
0:13
Speaker 1: you just heard, official, now absolutely official. Palm Beach International
0:18
Speaker 1: Airport will become Donald J. Trump International Airport. This is
0:23
Speaker 1: a great thing because every Democrat Liberal that has to
0:28
Speaker 1: fly into that airport, it will drive them insane. Their
0:31
Speaker 1: ticket will say Donald J. Trump Airport, they land everything
0:35
Speaker 1: will say Donald J. Trump. Well, this will drive them nuts.
0:40
Speaker 1: And do you remember it was it six months ago
0:42
Speaker 1: early maybe it was last year when they were talking
0:46
Speaker 1: about doing this. A caller to this show said they
0:48
Speaker 1: ought to make the code DJT, you know, because a
0:52
Speaker 1: lot of times these codes for the airport don't seem
0:54
Speaker 1: to match the name of the airport. But I did
0:56
Speaker 1: pass that along to the White House. To everybody in
0:59
Speaker 1: the White House, call it DJT. They all loved it. So,
1:04
Speaker 1: wherever that caller was, you may be responsible for this.
1:06
Speaker 1: Now they might have thought of it on their own too,
1:08
Speaker 1: But it's going to drive liberals crazy. Let's see how
1:13
Speaker 1: many of them live in Palm Beach but will deliberately
1:18
Speaker 1: only go to the Fort Lauderdale Airport so they don't
1:20
Speaker 1: have to go to Donald J. Trump International Airport, because
1:22
Speaker 1: when you leave the airport, one of the main roads
1:25
Speaker 1: from the mainland over to Palm Beach is going to
1:29
Speaker 1: be Donald J. Trump Boulevard. It will just absolutely torture them.
1:33
Speaker 1: I think they are about thirty airports in the country
1:36
Speaker 1: named after presidents, so this is totally appropriate. Now President
1:41
Speaker 1: Trump is on his way back to the White House.
1:43
Speaker 1: He'll get there later today. It's a grueling, long, long trip,
1:49
Speaker 1: but he's got a plane full of the top leaders
1:51
Speaker 1: in the world. As we're talking about the last hour,
1:55
Speaker 1: how impressive was this even to sheep? Trump shows up
1:59
Speaker 1: with an entourage of twenty of the most powerful global
2:03
Speaker 1: business leaders in the world, Elon Musk and Tim Cook
2:08
Speaker 1: and the chairman of Navidia and Goldman says, the top
2:11
Speaker 1: business leaders on it. This is who he shows up with.
2:16
Speaker 1: Biden shows up with his crack addict son Hunter. Trump
2:20
Speaker 1: brings the greatest business leaders here. Why don't you do
2:23
Speaker 1: some business with Apple, Why don't you to do business
2:24
Speaker 1: from Navidia? Why don't you talk to City Bank? Biden
2:29
Speaker 1: shows up with the crack addict son, my kid just
2:32
Speaker 1: starting his own hedge fund. He's never done this before.
2:34
Speaker 1: But he'd like you to put a couple billion into
2:37
Speaker 1: what a difference. So hey, Sean Hannity did the exclusive
2:43
Speaker 1: interview with President Trump after the summer. It's a big
2:45
Speaker 1: one hour interview. They aired it last night on Hannity,
2:49
Speaker 1: but I'll be filling in for Sean Hannity today later
2:52
Speaker 1: today three to seven, No, three to six, three to six,
2:57
Speaker 1: and we'll replay the whole interviews. If you didn't get
3:00
Speaker 1: to hear, you get to hear today. I think we'll
3:02
Speaker 1: do it in the first hour three to four, So
3:05
Speaker 1: take a listen to it. It'll be right here on
3:07
Speaker 1: wor So. Kamala Harris is scaring everybody, Democrats and Republicans.
3:15
Speaker 1: She's scaring the Democrats because she's looking like she wants
3:19
Speaker 1: to run in twenty twenty eight again. She was a
3:21
Speaker 1: total disaster, the worst candidate ever, just a goofball, but
3:27
Speaker 1: she wants to run again. She's scaring the Republicans. I mean,
3:30
Speaker 1: they would love to run against her, but she's now
3:32
Speaker 1: put back on the table every crazy, radical, nutjob democratic idea,
3:39
Speaker 1: like redoing the Supreme Court instead of nine, you'll have
3:42
Speaker 1: twenty five justices, getting rid of the electoral college, making
3:46
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico and DC states. Listen to her talking about
3:50
Speaker 1: all this.
3:50
Speaker 3: And in that No Bad Ideas brainstorm, we talk about
3:55
Speaker 3: what we need to do and think about doing around
3:57
Speaker 3: the electoral College. We talk about the idea of Supreme
4:01
Speaker 3: Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court. We invite
4:06
Speaker 3: a conversation about multi members districts.
4:09
Speaker 4: Let's talk about state loand for Puerto Rico and DC,
4:13
Speaker 4: we've got to neutralize these red states from cheating, including
4:18
Speaker 4: blue states expanding their maps.
4:21
Speaker 1: No, if you're worried about cheating voter ID, there's your solution. Now.
4:24
Speaker 1: What she's talking about and Democrats the dream about is
4:27
Speaker 1: tearing down the democracy, changing the constitution. Just I mean,
4:33
Speaker 1: it's all ridiculous. Getting rid of the electoral college. You're
4:35
Speaker 1: talking about taking apart our democracy, changing our constitution, Packing
4:41
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. You're talking about tearing down our democracy,
4:45
Speaker 1: changing the constitution. You see, the problem is there's nine
4:48
Speaker 1: justices and the Republicans have nominated a bunch of them.
4:52
Speaker 1: So Democrats don't want to wait for these guys to
4:54
Speaker 1: die and pray that when they do that there's a
4:57
Speaker 1: Democrat in office, so they can pack the court. So
4:59
Speaker 1: the next Democratic president can pick twenty people to add
5:04
Speaker 1: twenty left wing cooks. Statehood for Puerto Rico and DC.
5:08
Speaker 1: That's their other big dream because then they would each
5:11
Speaker 1: have two senators, and they're Democratic areas, so that would
5:15
Speaker 1: be four more Democratic senators and congressman. The only thing
5:19
Speaker 1: you know right now, the governor Puerto Rico is a
5:22
Speaker 1: big Trump supporter, So that's a little sticky wicket there.
5:26
Speaker 1: But it looks like Harris wants to run again. A
5:29
Speaker 1: lot of people thought she should have just run for
5:31
Speaker 1: governor in California. Steve Hilton looks pretty good there. He's
5:36
Speaker 1: a Republican and that's not easy in California, but he's
5:39
Speaker 1: doing very well. He'll be on with me later today
5:43
Speaker 1: when I will. I'll interview him later here on WR
5:47
Speaker 1: on the Hannity Show. Now, the La mayoral race. This
5:52
Speaker 1: guy comes out of nowhere, Spencer Pratt, reality star Spencer Pratt.
5:58
Speaker 1: He's from the reality show The Hills. He announces his
6:01
Speaker 1: bid for mayor. Guy can out talk anybody in the race.
6:05
Speaker 1: He's totally dominating the debates. He's a celebrity, no political
6:11
Speaker 1: or corporate experience of any kind, and he's been amazing
6:16
Speaker 1: with his social media is TikTok Instagram. You know, his
6:20
Speaker 1: house was destroyed in the fire. It's completely gone, just gone.
6:25
Speaker 1: So he's running on that because it affects a lot
6:27
Speaker 1: of people in LA that lost their homes, lost everything
6:29
Speaker 1: in these fires. So it's a big issue. So he's
6:32
Speaker 1: got one video that's amazing where he shows here's where
6:35
Speaker 1: I'm living now, and it shows his property. The house
6:37
Speaker 1: is all gone, but he's got a trailer on the
6:40
Speaker 1: properties living in. It's pretty dramatic. However, TMC investigates finds
6:46
Speaker 1: out he's not actually living in a trailer. He's staying
6:48
Speaker 1: in the bel Air Hotel, which is one of the
6:51
Speaker 1: most luxurious hotels in the world. All Right, a little catch,
6:54
Speaker 1: but he's still the point that's there, and he's doing
6:58
Speaker 1: so well that the New York Times is going crazy,
7:04
Speaker 1: very upset. New York Times headline. Unfortunately, we have to
7:08
Speaker 1: take Spencer Pratt seriously as a politician. And then they
7:12
Speaker 1: write this article about how here's what it says, we're
7:15
Speaker 1: now in a era of reality show stars. We have
7:20
Speaker 1: a reality TV president. This is the big myth they
7:24
Speaker 1: created that Trump's a reality TV star. That's like saying
7:28
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. We now have a lifeguard as president because
7:32
Speaker 1: somewhere in his long career he was briefly a lifeguard
7:35
Speaker 1: when he was a kid. Trump was not a reality
7:38
Speaker 1: TV star. Yes he was on the Apprentice, but he
7:42
Speaker 1: was a huge, huge, huge figure in America for about
7:46
Speaker 1: thirty years before the Apprentice.
7:48
Speaker 5: It had.
7:49
Speaker 1: The Apprentice had nothing to do with his gaining any fame.
7:52
Speaker 1: And in fact, the creator the Apprentice, Mark Burnett, on
7:55
Speaker 1: this very show, told us the story. He came up
7:58
Speaker 1: with the idea, up with the format, he designed the
8:01
Speaker 1: whole show. And then I said, why did you pick
8:04
Speaker 1: Donald Trump? He said, well, when he came up the idea,
8:06
Speaker 1: we had to find a businessman, and I thought to myself,
8:09
Speaker 1: who's the most famous businessman in America? And it was
8:12
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. So I contacted him and he liked the
8:15
Speaker 1: so he got the show because he was already the
8:18
Speaker 1: most famous businessman in America. But Pratt is going to
8:23
Speaker 1: he's on track now to win the mayoral race in
8:26
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. In fact, after that debate online poll ninety
8:32
Speaker 1: percent said he won the debate. Ninety percent. That's pretty amazing.
8:39
Speaker 1: Apparently on the view they went nuts. Those ridiculous. I mean, remember,
8:46
Speaker 1: the View is like the low IQ Show, So for
8:49
Speaker 1: the left, that's their low IQ show. But the View
8:52
Speaker 1: host went nuts, yelling and screaming about Spencer Pratt and
8:58
Speaker 1: yelling and here's their big point. They kept yelling about,
9:01
Speaker 1: how could you take a guy with no experience, who's
9:04
Speaker 1: not a manager and never run anything and let him
9:06
Speaker 1: run a fifteen billion dollar budget? How could you do that?
9:11
Speaker 1: We just did it in New York. We took a
9:13
Speaker 1: college kid mom Donnie, who's never had a job in
9:15
Speaker 1: his life, and gave him one hundred and thirty million
9:18
Speaker 1: dollar budget, one hundred and thirty billion dollar budget to run.
9:22
Speaker 1: So we just did it. And these same phonies on
9:25
Speaker 1: the View never said a word about that. One of
9:28
Speaker 1: them said, Spencer Pratt, you don't have experience, you don't
9:31
Speaker 1: have a law degree from Harvard Law School. Like that's
9:36
Speaker 1: going to help. Who would vote for any if we
9:39
Speaker 1: had ever had a There's never been a great politician
9:41
Speaker 1: with a law degree from Harvard Law School. There's never
9:44
Speaker 1: even been a great lawyer with a law degree from
9:46
Speaker 1: Harvard Law School. You look at the greatest lawyers in
9:49
Speaker 1: the world, the top lawyers in America, you know, they
9:51
Speaker 1: went to Hofstra. They went to Brooklyn College. Then the
9:55
Speaker 1: Hofstra graduates from the law school. They're all working for
9:57
Speaker 1: these big lawyers. So this is a serious and keep
10:02
Speaker 1: an eye on this Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles. It's
10:07
Speaker 1: a fascinating story. Hey, Bruce Blakeman, we hope will be
10:11
Speaker 1: our governor. He's the most qualified guy in the world
10:13
Speaker 1: for this. He'd be a great governor. You know, they
10:16
Speaker 1: screwed around and played games and totally corrupt that campaign
10:20
Speaker 1: finance board. It's been stacked with left wing Democrats, and
10:25
Speaker 1: they denied him as matching funds. They were totally corrupt
10:30
Speaker 1: about it. So a judge has just reversed that. A judge,
10:34
Speaker 1: an Albany County Supreme Court judge issued an order signed
10:38
Speaker 1: it this week. The will force the New York State
10:42
Speaker 1: campaign Finance Board to reverse their decision and give Blakeman
10:46
Speaker 1: the money. It's millions and millions of dollars and then
10:48
Speaker 1: he can start spending it. In fact, the judge really
10:53
Speaker 1: excoriated the Democratic Board, saying it clearly went against its
10:58
Speaker 1: own regulations. Apparently there was a something was wrong on
11:02
Speaker 1: a form of Blakeman. Some little clerical error and they
11:07
Speaker 1: didn't give Blakeman any notice. I guess the form was incomplete.
11:11
Speaker 1: They according to the judge, they violated everything because they
11:14
Speaker 1: didn't give them notice the form was incomplete. They didn't
11:17
Speaker 1: give them the required one week period to fix any
11:20
Speaker 1: supposed mistakes. So the good this great judge Albany State
11:24
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, Albany County Supreme Court. Blakeman will get his
11:28
Speaker 1: money now. Hokel is not asking for any campaign funds.
11:32
Speaker 1: Why because she's got thirty two million in a war chest,
11:36
Speaker 1: thirty two million all from big money donors who she
11:40
Speaker 1: will then have to do massive favors for Stephen Colbert
11:45
Speaker 1: going off the air in less than a week next
11:48
Speaker 1: Thursday night. I'll be the end of Colbert. And that's
11:52
Speaker 1: great news. Now he's had all the talk show hosts back.
11:56
Speaker 1: Last night he had David Letterman back. And Letterman, who's
12:00
Speaker 1: become quite the angry, cranky, bitter sort of a guy.
12:03
Speaker 1: I mean, he was always a little ornery, but he
12:06
Speaker 1: was trashing CBS, trashing the country, the president of everything. It
12:12
Speaker 1: was a one great moment. Remember Letterman used to drop
12:14
Speaker 1: stuff off the roof of the building, drop watermelons on
12:17
Speaker 1: the Street, so they did that. It was that actually
12:19
Speaker 1: was pretty good. They were throwing furniture CBS furniture off
12:23
Speaker 1: the roof of the building, aiming at a CBS logo
12:27
Speaker 1: on the ground. Then they started throwing watermelons. It wasn't bad.
12:30
Speaker 1: But then Letterman so pompous. He turns to Colbert and
12:35
Speaker 1: shakes his hand because I want to thank you for
12:37
Speaker 1: what you've done for the country. What has he done
12:41
Speaker 1: for the country except screw up. Late night TV used
12:44
Speaker 1: to be Johnny Carson, used to be Jay Leno. It
12:47
Speaker 1: used to be fun and funny. That was the idea
12:49
Speaker 1: of late night TV. Steve Allen started the Tonight Show.
12:52
Speaker 1: That was the idea. You have a few laughs, entertainment laughs,
12:55
Speaker 1: then you go to sleep. Colbert has turned it into angry,
13:00
Speaker 1: vicious hatred, partisan hatred, get you all riled up right
13:03
Speaker 1: before you go to sleep. It makes no sense at all,
13:06
Speaker 1: Although it was kind of Letterman that started. I remember
13:08
Speaker 1: when Letterman started, he was in the Johnny Carson tradition.
13:12
Speaker 1: He was on after Carson twelve thirty. Then he was
13:16
Speaker 1: on at eleven thirty against Jay Leno and they both
13:19
Speaker 1: did very funny shows. It was funny it was comical,
13:23
Speaker 1: it was fun. And then and Letterman did very well
13:26
Speaker 1: for many years beating the Tonight Show. He was very successful.
13:30
Speaker 1: But then remember in the last few years, Letterman got
13:32
Speaker 1: very left wing, very political. That's fine if your left wing,
13:37
Speaker 1: but you don't do it on the air. And when
13:39
Speaker 1: these guys do it on the air, it becomes angry,
13:42
Speaker 1: it becomes vicious, it becomes hateful. So Letterman's ratings plunged,
13:47
Speaker 1: it dropped in half, and that led to the end
13:50
Speaker 1: of his show. He was gone. But it's fascinating to
13:53
Speaker 1: watch Letterman and Colbert on lest they're celebrating. Who celebrates
13:58
Speaker 1: the guy getting fired? Who brings out another guy that
14:01
Speaker 1: was fired? You know, somebody leaves here or any company
14:06
Speaker 1: if they quit or they're moving on. You have a party,
14:08
Speaker 1: We have a cake. The guy gets fired. Do you
14:11
Speaker 1: bring in a party and a cake and everybody has
14:14
Speaker 1: balloons celebrate the guy getting fired. Only in the left
14:18
Speaker 1: wing kookie world could that happen? Hey, Scott Shannon will
14:22
Speaker 1: be with us in a little while, the greatest, the
14:24
Speaker 1: living DJ, maybe the greatest of all time. We'll talk
14:27
Speaker 1: to Scott Shannon coming up. We'll take some calls next
14:30
Speaker 1: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten. Is
14:34
Speaker 1: the number eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
14:38
Speaker 2: If you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio app, save
14:41
Speaker 2: time and tap the breset button.

14:48
Speaker 1: Well, let's take some calls. Let's go to Chris west Hampton.

Speaker 1: Chris is a panikin. Let's see what he's worried about. Now, Chris,
14:56
Speaker 1: how you doing?
14:57
Speaker 6: Hi?
14:57
Speaker 7: I'm calling as a public service because I'm always wrong,
15:00
Speaker 7: So I want to say that I think we're going
15:02
Speaker 7: to get screwed with Iran, that there's not enough time
15:05
Speaker 7: for oil prices to come back down before the election.
15:08
Speaker 7: Prices are still high, and everything he ran on is
15:13
Speaker 7: going in the wrong direction. And also, did you know Joe.
15:16
Speaker 1: Sorolla, Joe Sorolla, the actor, the.
15:19
Speaker 7: Voiceover guy, the voiceover Yeah, I know, you know everybody. Yeah, absolutely.
15:23
Speaker 1: Why did you bring him up? Was still?
15:25
Speaker 7: Because I was thinking about your voice the other day
15:27
Speaker 7: and like people that have really recognizable voices, and I
15:31
Speaker 7: remember Joe and he was but I thought maybe that
15:33
Speaker 7: was a little bit before your time.
15:35
Speaker 1: No, I knew that, I mean it was I'm not
15:37
Speaker 1: sure I haven't seen. Is he still alive? He's no
15:39
Speaker 1: longer with it?
15:40
Speaker 7: No, No, he died. But I mean I think he
15:42
Speaker 7: used to do like ads for Exxon and Mobile.
15:44
Speaker 6: Oh.
15:44
Speaker 1: He was one of the topic voiceover guys in the world.
15:47
Speaker 1: Probably made ten million a year doing voice over.
15:49
Speaker 7: He was very trustable too, like you you know, like
15:51
Speaker 7: when you endorse something, it has something to it.
15:54
Speaker 1: But you know, all those voiceover guys, they're making like
15:57
Speaker 1: ten million a year, but nobody knows who they are,
15:59
Speaker 1: so it drives them not so well.
16:01
Speaker 7: I knew who he was. He used to come into
16:02
Speaker 7: a restaurant I worked at called Oscars.
16:04
Speaker 1: And uh, where was Where was Oscars?

Speaker 9: what the early caller was talking about. Kelly Brandwood and
17:40
Speaker 9: I don't think.
17:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, Greg, Kelly does a great shows on Newsmax every
17:44
Speaker 1: night from nine to ten, and he comes up with
17:46
Speaker 1: stuff that nobody else is covering. So an important show
17:50
Speaker 1: to watch. President Trump watches it every night nine to
17:53
Speaker 1: ten on Newsmax. Thanks for Colin. Let's go to rich
17:57
Speaker 1: In fair Lawn. Rich how you doing, Mark?
18:00
Speaker 6: I'm just wondering whatever happened to that little cubby hole
18:05
Speaker 6: in the White House that had white powder in it?
18:07
Speaker 6: Did they ever find out who placed it there?
18:10
Speaker 1: Well, you know Jimmy Thayla was telling us yesterday how
18:13
Speaker 1: he went back to visit the White House. He was there,
18:15
Speaker 1: he said, I went back to get my coke. So oh, okay, No,
18:19
Speaker 1: I don't know you We assume it was Hunter Biden's.
18:22
Speaker 6: Oh definitely. It's the only assumption anybody could have.
18:25
Speaker 7: That's for sure.
18:26
Speaker 1: Two theories out there, thanks for calling. One is that
18:29
Speaker 1: it was Hunter Biden's. The other theory, you know, Joe
18:33
Speaker 1: Biden was always Akinacoma, and they sometimes when they had
18:35
Speaker 1: a like get him awake and energy for a speech,
18:39
Speaker 1: they would give him this injection with it was adderall
18:42
Speaker 1: B twelve, the whole list of things that would get
18:45
Speaker 1: him up. Some people thought they would use cocaine sometimes
18:49
Speaker 1: to wake him up if he's comatose, sleepy Joe and
18:53
Speaker 1: something important. Some people thought they would give him coke
18:56
Speaker 1: to make him suddenly alert. So this was right outside
18:59
Speaker 1: the city situation room. And if they ever had to
19:02
Speaker 1: go into the situation room with Biden, obviously it's some crisis,
19:05
Speaker 1: you'd need them alert. So some theorized that's what the
19:08
Speaker 1: cocaine was doing there. Let's go to Ernie in Connecticut. Ernie,
19:11
Speaker 1: how you doing?
19:13
Speaker 6: Always a pleasure? Mark. You would make comments last week
19:17
Speaker 6: about all the Blue states raising taxes, and you brought
19:21
Speaker 6: up Connecticut back in the nineteen eighties, and I did
19:25
Speaker 6: the research. In Connecticut. We had zero income tax. Yeah,
19:30
Speaker 6: the state had the highest economic growth in the country,
19:33
Speaker 6: the highest per capita individual income, highest household income.
19:38
Speaker 1: Oh, it was booming. If you have no taxes, the
19:41
Speaker 1: only problem is everybody will move there and you'll make
19:43
Speaker 1: a fortune. But good point. You know one thing about democrats.
19:47
Speaker 1: They don't believe in science. They will not follow the science.
19:50
Speaker 1: We know how to run an economy. We've tested every
19:53
Speaker 1: model a million times. That's the science of it. If
19:56
Speaker 1: you'd lower the taxes, economy booms. If you have no
19:59
Speaker 1: taxes booms. If you raise taxes, the economy suffers. Take
20:04
Speaker 1: socialism for example. We've run that experiment all over the
20:06
Speaker 1: world ten thousand times. It fails every time. But Democrats
20:11
Speaker 1: don't follow the science. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
20:14
Speaker 1: how you doing.
20:15
Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark, Good morning, Mara Mark. I have a
20:18
Speaker 5: bridge to sell to anyone who believes that China isn't
20:22
Speaker 5: supplying food and arms to Iran, and so is Turkey, Pakistan,
20:27
Speaker 5: Russia via the Caspian Sea north of Iran China. And
20:32
Speaker 5: I heard elite military report the other day. That's why
20:36
Speaker 5: I'm saying this. Normally there are about two hundred tracted
20:41
Speaker 5: trailer trucks that bring food and stuff into Iran. Now
20:45
Speaker 5: Turkey is part of NATO, but Turkey is really not
20:48
Speaker 5: our friend. That number is increased up to five hundred
20:53
Speaker 5: tracted trailers a day going into Iran. The northern part
20:57
Speaker 5: of Iran sits right on the Caspian Sea, and I'm
21:00
Speaker 5: looking at a world map right now that goes right
21:03
Speaker 5: into Russia and all of Russia's controlled territories. On the
21:08
Speaker 5: other side, we're looking at the Strait of Harmuz. They're
21:12
Speaker 5: going every other place. On the far eastern side of Iran.
21:17
Speaker 5: There's railroad tracks that go right to the very edge
21:21
Speaker 5: of Asia, and China is trucking massive amounts of food,
21:27
Speaker 5: arms and everything over land into Iran. This seas fire
21:32
Speaker 5: should have lasted twenty four hours just for Red Cross
21:39
Speaker 5: relief and food relief. Like Israel does dig with the
21:43
Speaker 5: Gaza Strip, this is Boloni. They are re arming and
21:48
Speaker 5: getting food. That's why they're not on their knees yet.
21:51
Speaker 5: Everybody's looking at the Strait of Hormos. They're getting their
21:55
Speaker 5: action every other place. And this was a leak three
21:59
Speaker 5: port that I heard the other day when.
22:02
Speaker 1: We got to go for the news. But that's a
22:03
Speaker 1: good point. Thanks for Colin. We'll see President returns to
22:07
Speaker 1: the White House tonight. He'll be back over the weekend.
22:09

Speaker 1: You are the voice of the Sean Hannity Show.
24:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I mean you or you know. What's funny
24:45
Speaker 6: is usually when somebody fills in for another you know star,
24:51
Speaker 6: they're always but you do this. You're the same guy
24:54
Speaker 6: doing either show.
24:56
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. Uh, I guess well, we're pretty similar shows.
25:00
Speaker 6: But well, you seem very you sound very relaxed when

Speaker 6: you're doing it. It's very comfortable for you.
25:07
Speaker 1: It's called half asleep, that is.
25:10
Speaker 6: And by the way, that your Trump phone is going

25:15
Speaker 6: of those Trump Gold phones, didn't you.
25:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. That's pretty good.
25:19
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, supposedly they're supposed to ship this week, but
25:25
Speaker 6: they've got some problems Trump Mobile. The ceo over there
25:29
Speaker 6: blamed the delays on phone parts needing to be tested
25:34
Speaker 6: for quality assurances they got. They didn't test them first,
25:38
Speaker 6: so they're not sending them out yet. You don't have
25:42
Speaker 6: to worry about it, you know. I've been pretty busy
25:46
Speaker 6: myself because my network where I try to keep the
25:50
Speaker 6: oldies alive, the sixties and seventies, True broke open. That's it.
25:57
Speaker 6: But the problem is that it's not a problem for me.
26:00
Speaker 6: But it's just we've all of a sudden, a lot
26:03
Speaker 6: of stations, a lot of companies are coming to us
26:07
Speaker 6: to put our network on their station because, as you know,
26:14
Speaker 6: radio is having some problems right now. There's still there's
26:17
Speaker 6: some you know, obviously Iheart's doing time, but a lot
26:21
Speaker 6: of companies who aren't as well driven, let's put it
26:25
Speaker 6: that way, they're having some problems. They're having to cut people,
26:28
Speaker 6: cut people pretty soon they don't have anybody to go
26:31
Speaker 6: on radio.
26:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can listen to Scott Chennon every morning,
26:34
Speaker 1: the True Oldies Channel, and some stations like all of
26:37
Speaker 1: a sudden now one in Boston they're airing your show,
26:40
Speaker 1: so you're the morning man all over the country. But
26:43
Speaker 1: where should people go to listen to True Oldiest channel.
26:45
Speaker 6: Well, you can obviously in Boston we're on WME actually

26:54
Speaker 6: here in New York we're on ninety two to three
26:57
Speaker 6: FM HD three, And a lot of people don't listen
27:00
Speaker 6: on their Alexa or you know, anything like that. To
27:04
Speaker 6: go to True oldies channel on iHeart Radio. He say, hey,
27:09
Speaker 6: Alexa played true oldiest channel on iHeart Radio. You know,
27:15
Speaker 6: it's just it's just a way for me to continue to,
27:18
Speaker 6: you know, do what I like to do beyond the radio.
27:21
Speaker 6: And part of the show that I do, we use
27:25
Speaker 6: a lot of these goofy stories, and I don't know,
27:29
Speaker 6: in the past few days, there's been so many weird
27:32
Speaker 6: things going on.
27:33
Speaker 5: You know.
27:34
Speaker 6: Did you hear the story from Pope Leo? A couple
27:37
Speaker 6: of days ago. He was trying to call the bank
27:41
Speaker 6: his bank when he lived in Chicago or where he
27:44
Speaker 6: grew up, and he called it just himself, and he
27:50
Speaker 6: wanted to change his mailing address for all of his
27:53
Speaker 6: banking needs and all that. So he told the girl
27:56
Speaker 6: and asked, well, I try to say Pope lee She
28:01
Speaker 6: said what he said, it's the Pope. She goes, oh, yeah,
28:05
Speaker 6: you're Pope Leo and on Virgin Mary Well and she
28:09
Speaker 6: hung up. He hung up on the Pope.
28:11
Speaker 1: Well, who wouldn't if you if a guy called me,
28:13
Speaker 1: says Pope Leo, I would not believe me either. Who
28:15
Speaker 1: would believe him?
28:17
Speaker 6: Then we got a I got another I got a
28:19
Speaker 6: great story from Florida this guy on a motorcycle arrested.
28:26
Speaker 6: He was on a high speed chase. He was clocked
28:29
Speaker 6: at one hundred and twenty miles an hour. But that
28:34
Speaker 6: was that wasn't the weird part. He was dressed up
28:37
Speaker 6: as the Easter Bunny, honest motorcycle. What pretty pretty funny.
28:43
Speaker 1: How many tickets did he get for that? One hundred
28:45
Speaker 1: and twenty? That's like a felony, you know, that's.
28:46
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, that's bad. That's bad, bad, bad bad. And
28:50
Speaker 6: I and I know you're a big rap music fan.
28:53
Speaker 6: So you you remember Eminem right, of course, very popular guy. Well,
28:59
Speaker 6: he had he married his childhood sweetheart. I think he
29:03
Speaker 6: married her a couple of times. Yeah, Kimberly Scott is
29:07
Speaker 6: her name, and both of them had drug problems over
29:13
Speaker 6: the years. He managed to kick his, but she goes
29:18
Speaker 6: back and forth. She's fifty one years old, and this
29:23
Speaker 6: past week she was taking her son, I think he's
29:29
Speaker 6: in his teens, and a couple of his buddies. They're
29:32
Speaker 6: in the car with her. They're going to the mall
29:34
Speaker 6: to go shopping, and she smashed her range Rover into
29:39
Speaker 6: a truck that was actually parked on his mont Even movement.
29:44
Speaker 6: It was parked on the street, and she ran into it.
29:47
Speaker 6: And then she didn't stop and wait for a cop.
29:50
Speaker 6: She drove back to her house and when she was
29:53
Speaker 6: pulling up in the driveway, she kept going and ran
29:56
Speaker 6: into her garage. He crashed the garage into the door
30:04
Speaker 6: right there.
30:04
Speaker 1: Man, bam, Well, that's I got eighth villies right there.
30:08
Speaker 1: That's like jail time for that kind of stuff.
30:10
Speaker 6: That's not been a busy, busy dame. Now you know,
30:14
Speaker 6: we got a new Rolling Stones album coming out, But
30:19
Speaker 6: who's going to play? Oh wait a minute, I hear
30:21
Speaker 6: you what who's.
30:22
Speaker 1: Going to play it? I mean I gotta play on
30:24
Speaker 1: CE one hundred. They're not going to play it on
30:26
Speaker 1: light FM.
30:27
Speaker 6: I mean we're I can't even play it on the
30:30
Speaker 6: true oldies. But I gotta tell you, like like me,
30:36
Speaker 6: I you know, I couldn't stay retired the Stones. They
30:40
Speaker 6: still want to play, Okay.
30:43
Speaker 1: I guess Paul McCartney's always doing a new album. Billy
30:45
Speaker 1: Joel did one last year.
30:47
Speaker 6: I guess, Yeah, Jagger, I think I think Jagger and
30:50
Speaker 6: Keith are both eighty two years old.
30:53
Speaker 1: Yeah.
30:53
Speaker 6: And Ronnie Woods, he's a young, spry chicken. He's seventy nine.
30:57
Speaker 1: Wow.
30:57
Speaker 6: But the weird but the weird thing about the new
31:00
Speaker 6: album it's called Foreming Tongues, coming out July tenth. I believe,
31:06
Speaker 6: but I saw the video. Have you seen the video
31:09
Speaker 6: for the first song from the album yet. It's a
31:13
Speaker 6: good song, but they used a I two make it
31:19
Speaker 6: look like they're young again in the video. They're singing,
31:23
Speaker 6: they're singing this song, but they look like they're you know,
31:26
Speaker 6: twenty years old.
31:29
Speaker 1: Isn't that kind of sad though, that they have to
31:31
Speaker 1: do that?
31:32
Speaker 6: Oh? Yeah, yeah, But I mean I saw him doing
31:35
Speaker 6: that press comments the other day and he and mix
31:38
Speaker 6: had no work done whatsoever.
31:40
Speaker 1: Oh you can tell?
31:41
Speaker 6: And yeah, that's that's a good case for plastic surgery.
31:47
Speaker 9: You see that.
31:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, But I don't think he wants to go out
31:51
Speaker 6: on tour. And Keith doesn't want to do it. You know,
31:56
Speaker 6: he's not, He doesn't. He's not in such good shape
31:59
Speaker 6: as Mick the mix guy. He can bounce around like
32:03
Speaker 6: a thirty forty year old guy. Yeah, and it goes
32:07
Speaker 6: out on the stage. And then you got the McCartney album.
32:10
Speaker 6: The reviews are really really good. They say it's one
32:14
Speaker 6: of his strongest albums. In many, many years.
32:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, but again, who's going to play it?
32:19
Speaker 6: Well, remember that, I think I told you the story before.
32:24
Speaker 6: Elton John and Billy Joel Art's still on their own
32:27
Speaker 6: speaking terms now, and Billy called him and talked to
32:32
Speaker 6: him and so, what are you doing. I'm working on
32:35
Speaker 6: a new album, man, getting a new album pack And
32:38
Speaker 6: he says why, you know why? And he said, you
32:43
Speaker 6: aren't you going to do a new album? He says, no,
32:46
Speaker 6: nobody cares about us and our new music. They want
32:50
Speaker 6: to hear our old song.
32:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we care about him, but their elder statesman.
32:54
Speaker 1: They do concerts, that's what they do.
32:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, but they don't. But you know, I saw nutrition.
33:00
Speaker 6: I went to see uh Paul McCartney. I think we're
33:05
Speaker 6: in one of the places in Jersey, one of the
33:07
Speaker 6: big places there, and that's where he was on stage.
33:10
Speaker 2: You know.
33:11
Speaker 6: When he stops, he says, I'm gonna warn you right now,
33:13
Speaker 6: I'm going to do one of my new songs. So
33:15
Speaker 6: this is a good time for you to go to
33:17
Speaker 6: the bathroom, because I know you're gonna go anyway. So
33:20
Speaker 6: he actually, I never heard an artist do that. Look,
33:25
Speaker 6: we know what you do. We play our new music.
33:30
Speaker 6: And a lot of like you go see if you
33:34
Speaker 6: go see just about any artists, they want to they
33:36
Speaker 6: want to torture you with a new song. Right from McCartney.
33:40
Speaker 6: McCarty warns us, is this is a good place to
33:42
Speaker 6: go to go get a hot dog or whatever. So
33:47
Speaker 6: I thought that was pretty funny.
33:51
Speaker 1: There was Tony Bennett at the Copa Cabana and he
33:54
Speaker 1: did all these unusual songs, these album cuts and the
33:58
Speaker 1: big gangster owner afterwards, what the hell were you're singing?
34:01
Speaker 1: He goes, well, those are my favorite songs, And he said,
34:04
Speaker 1: I'm not paying you to sing your favorite songs. I'm
34:06
Speaker 1: paying you to sing their favorite songs.
34:10
Speaker 5: You know.
34:10
Speaker 6: I was interviewing, I think Bob Seeger and over at
34:15
Speaker 6: PLJ he came up and he told me that he
34:19
Speaker 6: went to see John Mellencamp in concert. This is when
34:23
Speaker 6: Mellencamp read hot he had to he wanted to play
34:26
Speaker 6: some songs from this new album. And he goes backstage.
34:32
Speaker 6: Bob Sieger goes back stage. He says, can I tell
34:34
Speaker 6: you something, John, I pay for my ticket. I didn't
34:37
Speaker 6: get it free. I pay for my ticket and I
34:40
Speaker 6: expected to hear Jack and Di Aan and all your hits.
34:43
Speaker 6: I don't want to hear that either crap and either
34:46
Speaker 6: day he told me he said that John Mellencamp. From
34:51
Speaker 6: then on I never played any new music.
34:55
