FULL SHOW: Scott Pelley fired; George Santos did what? · The Mark Simone Show

0:01
Speaker 1: NOWR Presents, No Mark Simon.
0:05
Speaker 2: Show, another beautiful day to day. We got a lot
0:13
Speaker 2: to get to. We'll get to that crazy, insubordinate, awful,
0:17
Speaker 2: pompous ass Scott Pelly. We'll get to the White House
0:21
Speaker 2: Correspondence Center. It's back on. We'll get to Iran. We'll
0:26
Speaker 2: get to the primaries yesterday. We'll get to the Knicks.
0:29
Speaker 2: We'll get to Delaney Hall. We'll get to that goofy
0:32
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, who everyone Democrat and Republican in the political
0:36
Speaker 2: world agrees is having the worst rollout of a book
0:40
Speaker 2: ever for any president the vice president spouse ever in history.
0:47
Speaker 2: So hey, by the way, the Director of National Intelligence.
0:53
Speaker 2: There's the guy whose name I'm blanking out on who
0:55
Speaker 2: President Trump has appointed. And everybody's upset because they don't
1:01
Speaker 2: think he's qualified. They don't think he's the right choice.
1:03
Speaker 2: They're not happy with this guy. Currently, he's the the
1:06
Speaker 2: housing czar, he's run Fanny and Freddie and all that.
1:10
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a very competent guy. I don't know
1:13
Speaker 2: exactly he's not the best choice for Director of National Intelligence.
1:16
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Trump is not appointing him, nominating
1:21
Speaker 2: him to be Director of National Intelligence. He's just sticking
1:25
Speaker 2: him in as acting National Intelligence Director till he finds
1:30
Speaker 2: who he wants. He's not going to be the nominee.
1:33
Speaker 2: When you stick somebody in like this just acting. He's
1:35
Speaker 2: done this before. I can't remember the names. First term
1:40
Speaker 2: director of National Intelligence stuck somebody in there just as
1:44
Speaker 2: acting till he got John Ratcliffe. So don't worry about
1:48
Speaker 2: this guy. It's just temporary. When you nominate, when you're
1:52
Speaker 2: not nominated, but when you appoint him acting director, Congress
1:56
Speaker 2: is not involved. They have nothing to say about it,
1:58
Speaker 2: don't need any approval, but it gives him whatever he
2:01
Speaker 2: needs it month, two months, three months, four months. But
2:04
Speaker 2: to pick somebody, so this is not going to be
2:06
Speaker 2: the guy. He doesn't look like the right choice. But
2:08
Speaker 2: he's just acting. It'll just be temporary. So this Scott
2:14
Speaker 2: Pelly is the biggest pompous ass in the history of broadcasting.
2:18
Speaker 2: He's been officially fired, thrown out of there. You heard well,
2:26
Speaker 2: as we said yesterday, Barry Weisse's new president of CBS News,
2:30
Speaker 2: brings in a new person to run sixty minutes. You
2:36
Speaker 2: like him, you don't like him, that's one thing. But
2:38
Speaker 2: Scott Pelly gets up in the first town hall where
2:41
Speaker 2: this guy is there to introduce himself to the staff,
2:44
Speaker 2: and Scott Pelly, the pompous asked that he is tells
2:48
Speaker 2: the guy off, screaming at the guy, calling him every name,
2:51
Speaker 2: telling him how bad he is, and he's murdered sixty minutes.
2:55
Speaker 2: He's the worst thing in the world. Now, first of all,
2:58
Speaker 2: you got a brand new boss. This is not a
3:00
Speaker 2: good speech to make. If you got a brand new Boston.
3:05
Speaker 2: You don't think he's the right kind of guy. Your
3:07
Speaker 2: opening statement should be you're the worst person ever. You
3:10
Speaker 2: have got the worst, but bad enough if you went
3:13
Speaker 2: to his office and said that to him. This is
3:15
Speaker 2: in a big meeting with the whole staff, in front
3:17
Speaker 2: of in front of everybody. He tries to bully this guy,
3:21
Speaker 2: intimidate this guy, he tries to humiliate this guy in
3:24
Speaker 2: front of the whole staff. Well, it turns out that
3:29
Speaker 2: this guy was very nice about this. In the beginning
3:32
Speaker 2: of fact, he suspected that Scott Pelly was not happy
3:35
Speaker 2: with the choice. So now we find out that before
3:38
Speaker 2: this big town hall he he sent an invitation to
3:42
Speaker 2: Scott Pelly. So I know you may have disagreements. Could
3:45
Speaker 2: we meet privately and we can talk them out. You
3:47
Speaker 2: can air them out, you can tell me what your
3:49
Speaker 2: problem is. Pelly refused, even invited Scott Pelley to have
3:54
Speaker 2: dinner with him to discuss things. He refused. So then
4:00
Speaker 2: Scott Belly pulls this ridiculous stunt in front of the
4:03
Speaker 2: whole staff. And of course it's in the middle of
4:06
Speaker 2: Big Town Hall. There's a thousand witnesses, so of course
4:09
Speaker 2: it leaks out. It's all over the place. It looks
4:12
Speaker 2: bad for CBS News. They then give him one more chance.
4:17
Speaker 2: Barry Weise in this new head of sixty minutes, decide
4:20
Speaker 2: we'll meet with you privately and settle this and air
4:24
Speaker 2: this out. Well, apparently when they met with him the
4:26
Speaker 2: next day privately to air it out, he just told
4:29
Speaker 2: them off again. He's screaming at how awful, evil, disgusting
4:32
Speaker 2: the guy is. So what are you gonna do. You
4:35
Speaker 2: gotta fire the guy is. As Joe Peshi said in
4:38
Speaker 2: that scene in Casino, this guy was just begging to
4:40
Speaker 2: be made an example of it. So you gotta fire
4:44
Speaker 2: the guy. Now there were some people yesterdays. Well, it
4:46
Speaker 2: can't fire him. He's got a contract. And if they
4:48
Speaker 2: fire him, they'd have to pay out the contract. They'd
4:51
Speaker 2: have to pay him five million dollars to fire him. Well,
4:56
Speaker 2: it turns out you don't have to do that because
4:59
Speaker 2: what he did was so awful and so inappropriate and
5:02
Speaker 2: so disgusting. It violated the contract. You know, it's in
5:06
Speaker 2: every contract. I have it in my contract. We all
5:09
Speaker 2: have it in our contract. There's a clause in there.
5:11
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't be fired. It's an ironclad contract,
5:15
Speaker 2: except there's a clause in there termination for cause. And
5:21
Speaker 2: it's got all this legal mumbo jumble that goes on
5:24
Speaker 2: for two pages of what would be caused you can
5:26
Speaker 2: be fired at. But there's a whole chunk in there
5:29
Speaker 2: where it says if you do anything to humiliate the company,
5:32
Speaker 2: embarrass the company, in subordination, you know, all that kind
5:36
Speaker 2: of stuff. If you cause him, if you cause a
5:39
Speaker 2: big scene public that embarrasses the company, that's cause you
5:43
Speaker 2: can be fired. So the in fact, if you go
5:45
Speaker 2: to my Twitter, you can see the letter terminating him
5:49
Speaker 2: from the New sixty Minutes Boss and it says that
5:53
Speaker 2: right in there, you're being terminated for cause. So Scott
5:57
Speaker 2: Pelley is out. He is fired. Some think what he
6:01
Speaker 2: did was so bad that it had to be suicide.
6:05
Speaker 2: He had to be deliberately committing suicide and wanting to
6:08
Speaker 2: get fired. I don't know. I mean, it's a good thing.
6:11
Speaker 2: For sixty minutes, this sanctimonious pompus asked, who's screaming about
6:15
Speaker 2: journalism and he's fighting for journalism? Was not a journalist.
6:19
Speaker 2: He was a fake news guy. If you go on
6:23
Speaker 2: Twitter the last few days, you see people posting all
6:26
Speaker 2: the clips of all the fake news he did. Nobody
6:30
Speaker 2: pushed that Russia hoax more than him. Just an awful guy,
6:33
Speaker 2: fake interviews with Biden, fake everything. Do you remember he
6:37
Speaker 2: did a commencement speech? Was it last year? It was
6:40
Speaker 2: the most bizarre convention speech ever where he just looks
6:44
Speaker 2: at these you know, convention speech supposed to be happy,
6:47
Speaker 2: uplifting the message of hope and optimism and motivational speech
6:52
Speaker 2: to send these kids out into the world. He makes
6:55
Speaker 2: this gloom and doom speech about how the world is over,
6:57
Speaker 2: We've lost all our freedom, there's no more democracy. So
7:02
Speaker 2: I think this is a bit of it. Let me
7:04
Speaker 2: let me see, listen to this doom and gloom.
7:06
Speaker 3: But in this moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred
7:11
Speaker 3: rule of law is under attack. Journalism is underattack, universities
7:19
Speaker 3: are under attack, freedom of speech is underattack, and insidious
7:27
Speaker 3: fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes,
7:39
Speaker 3: and into our private thoughts.
7:41
Speaker 2: Listen to this pompous the.
7:43
Speaker 3: Fear to speak. In America, power can rewrite history.
7:52
Speaker 2: So it goes on and on. Can you imagine you're
7:55
Speaker 2: a graduation and this guy's going to do an hour
7:57
Speaker 2: of this nonsense. So they should have fired him right
8:00
Speaker 2: after that speech. But he's a horrible, horrible guy, an
8:03
Speaker 2: embarrassment to the profession. So he has been fired, and
8:08
Speaker 2: that's it. What do you think he'll turn up next,
8:11
Speaker 2: probably MS, now, CNN, someplace like that, and he'll do
8:16
Speaker 2: a Colbert. He'll tell her it was Trump that got
8:18
Speaker 2: him fired. It's all because of Trump. He was fired. CBS,
8:22
Speaker 2: by the way, it's the same network beginning this week
8:24
Speaker 2: put out an official statements and Colbert was actually losing
8:28
Speaker 2: forty million a year and they, you know, Network TV's
8:31
Speaker 2: not doing so well right now, and they couldn't continue
8:34
Speaker 2: to sustain these financial losses. So I mean, I'm sure Trump,
8:39
Speaker 2: you know, yelling and screaming about it, didn't help, but
8:42
Speaker 2: it was financial reasons something. Here, sixty minutes ratings are
8:46
Speaker 2: down about ninety percent. If you go to my Twitter,
8:48
Speaker 2: you'll see the chart, ratings chart, sixty minutes ratings the
8:51
Speaker 2: last ten years. It's just straight down for ten years.
8:54
Speaker 2: Now they'll these fake newspeople at sixty minutes to tell
8:57
Speaker 2: you we're up twelve percent from last year. Yeah, yeah,
9:00
Speaker 2: they are, but down ninety percent from ten years of Secularly,
9:03
Speaker 2: the graph, it's like straight down and there's a little
9:06
Speaker 2: uptick that doesn't mean much of anything. Still way way
9:09
Speaker 2: down from where it was. Hey, So the White House
9:13
Speaker 2: Correspondence dinner is back on. It will be June twenty fourth.
9:20
Speaker 2: Now that's a July twenty fourth. July twenty fourth, that's
9:23
Speaker 2: a Friday night, usually on Saturday night, July twenty fourth,
9:28
Speaker 2: and they will not go back to the Hilton for
9:31
Speaker 2: this makeup dinner. They will not go back to the
9:37
Speaker 2: Hilton where they always have it. That's where the whole
9:39
Speaker 2: setup there just didn't seem to be security wise any good.
9:44
Speaker 2: It was just a bad setup. So guess where it's going.
9:48
Speaker 2: You'll keep hearing it's moving to the Waldorf Astoria in Washington.
9:52
Speaker 2: But what they might not mention in some of these stories,
9:55
Speaker 2: it's really the Trump Hotel. It's the Trump Hotel in Washington,
9:59
Speaker 2: d C. He built that years ago, right before his
10:03
Speaker 2: first term. And there's really very fine, prestigious hotels in Washington,
10:08
Speaker 2: d C. There's the Willard, the hay Adams, but they're old,
10:11
Speaker 2: they're not that big, and they're old, old, old, old hotels.
10:15
Speaker 2: You know, the hotels the Truman would stay in it.
10:18
Speaker 2: That was kind of hotels. So years ago Trump saw
10:21
Speaker 2: that they didn't have one big, huge, spectacular hotel, so
10:24
Speaker 2: he built the Trump Hotel. There was an old post
10:26
Speaker 2: office building and it was spectacular, and every left wing
10:31
Speaker 2: cook would yell and scream about it, so the worst
10:33
Speaker 2: hotel and it's evil and boycott it. But if you
10:36
Speaker 2: talk to travel agents off the record, they would all say,
10:39
Speaker 2: it's the finest hotel ever in Washington, really luxurious, fine hotel.
10:43
Speaker 2: It's got a big ballroom, not as big as the Hilton,
10:45
Speaker 2: but a big ballroom. So it's now the Waldorf Astoria.
10:48
Speaker 2: Trump sold it a few years ago. Waldorf bought it.
10:51
Speaker 2: That's where the White House correspondence dinner will be now
10:56
Speaker 2: that Hilton had the biggest ballroom twenty five hundred people.
11:01
Speaker 2: But this new ballroom at the new venue, the Waldorft Ballroom,
11:05
Speaker 2: thirteen hundred seats, so they'll have it there. That means
11:08
Speaker 2: they got to get rid of twelve hundred people. But
11:10
Speaker 2: there might be a lot of people who bought tickets
11:12
Speaker 2: the first time who can't come this time, so it'll
11:15
Speaker 2: be thirteen hundred people. President Trump has agreed to speak
11:18
Speaker 2: at this now. At the original White House Correspondences dinner, Boy,
11:22
Speaker 2: did he have a speech ready to go. It was
11:24
Speaker 2: a real roast, just ridiculing and making fun of all
11:27
Speaker 2: the fake newspeople. It was a rough, rough roast. But
11:32
Speaker 2: after what happened the shooting, can you do it again?
11:37
Speaker 2: Even he said, I don't know whether or not I
11:38
Speaker 2: can give the same nasty roast at least does it
11:43
Speaker 2: concerns certain people. But we'll find out. He's got to
11:46
Speaker 2: redo that speech. It'll be July twenty fourth. Hey, by
11:50
Speaker 2: the way, the White House Ballroom the Trump wants to build,
11:53
Speaker 2: he said, that's why we need this White House Ballroom
11:56
Speaker 2: totally secure, and we could do the White House Correspondence
11:59
Speaker 2: dinner there well. Head of the White House correspondents to
12:03
Speaker 2: Jackie Heinrich. They would never do it in the White
12:05
Speaker 2: House ballroom.
12:06
Speaker 4: It cuts against the independence of the press from the
12:10
Speaker 4: government that it covers. So we would never hold our
12:13
Speaker 4: annual event on government property. That was well understood by
12:16
Speaker 4: the White House. There are also a lot of government
12:18
Speaker 4: ethics rules. I think a lot of our organizations would
12:20
Speaker 4: not approve of us getting a gift that is paid
12:23
Speaker 4: for by taxpayer dollars in the form of a venue
12:26
Speaker 4: that is public property.
12:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, okay, you can just pay for it. You
12:31
Speaker 2: pay the Hilton to use the ballroom, you pay the
12:34
Speaker 2: Waldorf to use whatever you were paying. Just give that
12:37
Speaker 2: to the White House ballroom. Give it to the government,
12:39
Speaker 2: just donated. So that would solve that problem. But the
12:43
Speaker 2: ballroom's a long way off, so we don't have to
12:45
Speaker 2: worry about that yet. Hey, the California primary, Steve Hilton
12:50
Speaker 2: did very, very well. Now that's the primary. When you
12:54
Speaker 2: go into the general, he's great. I mean, he would
12:57
Speaker 2: be the best governor for California. But you go to
13:00
Speaker 2: the general, it's a lot of Democratic voters and it's
13:02
Speaker 2: going to be an uphill climb. It's not going to
13:04
Speaker 2: be easy. Some political analysts estimate his chance at twenty
13:09
Speaker 2: five percent. But he's a great campaigner. Last night he
13:14
Speaker 2: won big in the primary.
13:17
Speaker 5: It looks very much as if Californias really will have
13:21
Speaker 5: the chance to vote for change in November.
13:24
Speaker 6: And take.
13:28
Speaker 5: And take our state and take our state in a
13:31
Speaker 5: new direction.
13:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again it's been a one party state for
13:35
Speaker 2: years Democrat. But who knows? Things are so bad in California,
13:39
Speaker 2: especially in the cities with the homeless and the needles
13:42
Speaker 2: and the crime, and maybe people rise up.
13:45
Speaker 5: We've got the rebel spirit, we've got the hustle, we've
13:49
Speaker 5: got the attitude. We've got everything we need to make
13:53
Speaker 5: California golden again except for a good governor and very soon, well.
14:03
Speaker 2: Five months await in November. Boy, that would be something.
14:05
Speaker 2: You get Steve Hilton in California, you get Bruce Blakeman
14:07
Speaker 2: in New York. Wow. Now La Mayor's race, Pratt pract
14:12
Speaker 2: did very, very very well. Oh now, let me just
14:15
Speaker 2: put a big asterisk on all of this. It's California,
14:19
Speaker 2: so you know what happens there. Like we don't have
14:21
Speaker 2: the results of the primary for Pratt, won't know for
14:24
Speaker 2: a long time. There's these mail in votes. It takes
14:26
Speaker 2: them days and days and days. They got to get
14:29
Speaker 2: these mail ins, and they're gonta count mail in voting
14:32
Speaker 2: is that's where all the cheating happens. As Jimmy Carter
14:35
Speaker 2: would say, mail in votes very bad. So who knows
14:38
Speaker 2: what could happen. But Pratt had a great night.
14:41
Speaker 4: The next five months is I'm gonna have time to
14:43
Speaker 4: build out this team, to show everybody the level of
14:47
Speaker 4: Democratic supporters that have behind me.
14:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see. Hey, of course the Knicks. Tonight,
14:53
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a big night. It's in San Antonio,
14:57
Speaker 2: but there's watch parties being scheduled all over the place,
15:00
Speaker 2: from Central Park to the Radio City. They always do
15:04
Speaker 2: these watch parties. Nick, Tonight's gonna be a big night.
15:07
Speaker 2: What times a game start? Is it eight thirty? I
15:09
Speaker 2: think eight o'clock something like that. Coverage I think starts
15:12
Speaker 2: around seven thirty, but eight o'clock it'll be on ABC
15:15
Speaker 2: channelson eight thirty, channel seven nixt Tonight. You're gonna see
15:21
Speaker 2: Nick stuff all over the place. If you walk around
15:23
Speaker 2: Maison Square Garden, look at those subways. You come up
15:26
Speaker 2: the subway stairs and it's all been painted blue and
15:28
Speaker 2: orange looks beautiful. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next. Eight
15:31
Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
15:35
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
15:39
Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show Live from the WR Life
15:43
Speaker 1: Back Studios.
15:46
Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero
15:50
Speaker 2: seven ten is the number. Let's go to Mara in Nevada. Mara,
15:54
Speaker 2: how you.
15:54
Speaker 7: Doing so good?
15:56
Speaker 8: Jaw Vincent Mark jill Is on that bull face line.
16:00
Speaker 8: I ain't sure, yes, but she started a relationship with
16:04
Speaker 8: Joe by cheating on her husband. All cheaters are liars,
16:09
Speaker 8: and then she hooks up with the champion liar. You
16:12
Speaker 8: know what they deserve where they are in the dutchmin
16:16
Speaker 8: of history.
16:17
Speaker 2: Very good, I agree. Yeah, Joe Biden on this lying tour.
16:21
Speaker 2: You know the problem is she lied. The first day
16:24
Speaker 2: Biden in the debate looked so bad. He couldn't talk,
16:26
Speaker 2: he was incoherent, couldn't finish the sentence. But that's normal,
16:29
Speaker 2: it's the way he was every day. So to lie
16:31
Speaker 2: to make it sound like this was so unusual. Oh
16:33
Speaker 2: my god, I thought he was having a stroke. That
16:35
Speaker 2: was the lie, to make it sound like, oh so
16:37
Speaker 2: unusual for him to be like that. But then everybody said, well,
16:42
Speaker 2: if you thought he was having a stroke, why didn't
16:44
Speaker 2: you take him to a doctor right afterwards? Or how
16:46
Speaker 2: come you took him from there to the waffle house
16:48
Speaker 2: to a big, noisy party. So now she's telling the
16:53
Speaker 2: story yesterday that well, there were there were doctors there,
16:56
Speaker 2: and they examined them as soon as he came off.
16:58
Speaker 2: The doctors examined them, said he's okay, he's okay. Don't
17:02
Speaker 2: but he saw any doctor examine him. Let's go to
17:05
Speaker 2: Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing, good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.
17:10
Speaker 9: Regarding the Scott Tully story, I was a stage manager
17:13
Speaker 9: in New York for more than thirty years, and I
17:16
Speaker 9: don't think the public realizes how dumb and quotes many
17:22
Speaker 9: of these guys they see on air, sitting in the
17:24
Speaker 9: anchor desk or on you know, delivering the news really are.
17:27
Speaker 9: There's many of them don't have an original thought in
17:30
Speaker 9: their head. They're actors, you know, they're reading somebody else
17:33
Speaker 9: some and they're playing a role.
17:35
Speaker 2: There's some anchors like that, no.
17:39
Speaker 9: More than I think more than many people would have sake.
17:42
Speaker 9: I think would imagine, and some that they would really
17:44
Speaker 9: be surprised, are you know, complete knucklehead?
17:47
Speaker 2: Well, well, but you could tell who the dumb ones
17:50
Speaker 2: were because they they were the pretty boys, you know. Yes,
17:53
Speaker 2: the mannequins like Walter Kronkite was not hired for his
17:56
Speaker 2: looks frustrated.
17:57
Speaker 9: No, you're right, Kronkite wasn't. But some you're right because
18:00
Speaker 9: a lot of them are like frustrated actors and they
18:01
Speaker 9: just sort of owed his journalism course and they'll put
18:04
Speaker 9: me on TV.
18:05
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, like Mike Wallace wasn't hired because he
18:07
Speaker 2: was a great looking guy. He was hired because he
18:08
Speaker 2: really knew his stuff, right.
18:11
Speaker 9: But yeah, and those guys war correspondents, and they were
18:13
Speaker 9: old school, you know, in the old days, these guys
18:15
Speaker 9: didn't go to journalism school. You know, they went to
18:17
Speaker 9: a bar and they covered the war. You know, that's
18:19
Speaker 9: how they became journalists. You know, journalism school is a
18:21
Speaker 9: new that fangle, you know thing for many of these
18:25
Speaker 9: modern guys.
18:25
Speaker 2: You know, a good example is Peter Jennings. When they
18:28
Speaker 2: hired him at ABC, he was the youngest anchor ever
18:30
Speaker 2: the network news. He was like twenty seven, and he
18:32
Speaker 2: was just a pretty boy, and he didn't know anything,
18:35
Speaker 2: but he was a very smart guy, deep down, he said.
18:37
Speaker 2: He actually left, he said, this is no good. He
18:39
Speaker 2: went overseas, became a foreign correspondent, right, went into the
18:43
Speaker 2: field for years, got seasoned. He said, I'll come back
18:45
Speaker 2: as a seasoned guy who knows what he's doing. And
18:47
Speaker 2: then he was great, that's right.
18:48
Speaker 9: Some guys like him have that epissany and they realized that,
18:51
Speaker 9: you know, hey, I am just a vapid thing tweeting
18:54
Speaker 9: somebody else's words. I'm going to prove myself. And they
18:56
Speaker 9: do have a brain in their head.
18:57
Speaker 2: But there's some by I'm trying to not names here,
19:00
Speaker 2: you know, they are, Yes, they just look great. They
19:02
Speaker 2: got a big smile, They read the teleprompter and they
19:05
Speaker 2: don't know anything bad. You're right.
19:07
Speaker 9: And for all their crying, by the way, for all
19:08
Speaker 9: the Scott Tilly's crying about how they're coming for the
19:11
Speaker 9: press and the silencing the press, all they do is
19:13
Speaker 9: complain about how the kind you know, they never stopped
19:16
Speaker 9: talking about it, so nobody's really coming for them. I
19:18
Speaker 9: mean that's the irony.
19:19
Speaker 2: No, he's pretty bad. Yeah, he was a horrible guy.
19:22
Speaker 2: But thanks for calling Mike. So does this woman telling
19:25
Speaker 2: me this story about uh. One day he filled in
19:29
Speaker 2: for Katie Kirk on the Evening News and he's telling
19:33
Speaker 2: them what he wants and he's going to do this story.
19:35
Speaker 2: And he said, at this point, I will take my
19:38
Speaker 2: glasses off. He said, as I take my glasses off,
19:41
Speaker 2: I want you to zoom in on me as I
19:43
Speaker 2: take my glasses off. He's staging this phony, fake news,
19:47
Speaker 2: the theatrics of it. Let's go to Rich in Myrtle Beach.
19:51
Speaker 2: Rich How you doing.
19:53
Speaker 6: Good? Thanks? Mary?
19:54
Speaker 10: How is an American Idol can CALLI thirty three million
19:58
Speaker 10: votes in five and a half minutes and have a
19:59
Speaker 10: way in California and New York and all these other states.
20:03
Speaker 10: Takes them a month to tell us who's actually gonna win.
20:05
Speaker 10: And imagine if you get what Trump once we go
20:07
Speaker 10: to paper ballots, it will take two months to count
20:09
Speaker 10: all the votes in the state like California.
20:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, American Idol just wants the real vote from
20:14
Speaker 2: the public California. They want that right in cheating process
20:18
Speaker 2: because they can.
20:20
Speaker 10: I had a question for him, Mark. There was a
20:21
Speaker 10: report on the news of something that a whole bunch
20:24
Speaker 10: of write in ballots were mail in ballots in California
20:27
Speaker 10: got burnt up in a fire and a voting place
20:30
Speaker 10: was damage or something. There's any two to that story.
20:32
Speaker 10: And this is all about the Los Angeles mayors.
20:34
Speaker 2: I don't know, we'll look into that, but that happens
20:36
Speaker 2: all the time. That's one way they cheat. Would they
20:38
Speaker 2: cheat with the mail ins? And then Connecticut was famous
20:40
Speaker 2: for that. You remember the one what was his name
20:43
Speaker 2: running for governor and it looked like he was gonna win.
20:46
Speaker 2: He won by three points, so they had to screw around.
20:48
Speaker 2: And remember they said all the ballots got wet. Yep, yep,
20:52
Speaker 2: they got wet and they had to recount. It was
20:55
Speaker 2: very ridiculous thing. But I remember Al Franklin in Minnesota
20:59
Speaker 2: they found yeah, yeah, yeah, look like it's gonna lose
21:02
Speaker 2: till they found thousands of votes in the trunk of
21:04
Speaker 2: a car that they've been misplaced. That's how they screw
21:07
Speaker 2: around with this stuff. Let's go to Dennis in Long Island. Dennis,
21:11
Speaker 2: how you doing, Hey.
21:13
Speaker 6: Mark the morning? How you doing Mark? This this crazy
21:16
Speaker 6: gubbri we have in New York. She's pushing for the
21:19
Speaker 6: heist of the mask. No mask? Yeah, Well, want to cheat?
21:22
Speaker 6: Want to cheat? The protesters should have no mask too,
21:25
Speaker 6: so we can identify them.
21:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I listen, don't try to analyze what Kathy
21:31
Speaker 2: Hoak is doing. It's just crazy partisan knee jerk anything
21:36
Speaker 2: to get elected. Comments. If no mask is popular, show
21:39
Speaker 2: yell no masks. But you're right, absolutely no, No, I
21:42
Speaker 2: mean there's a reason they You heard this, this protester
21:47
Speaker 2: that that bit the ice agent. Send him to the hospital,
21:50
Speaker 2: screaming at the guy. I know who you are. I'm
21:52
Speaker 2: going to find your family. I'm going to kill your family.
21:54
Speaker 2: I'm gonna kill That's why they wear masks so people
21:56
Speaker 2: can't dox them, which means figure out who they are,
22:00
Speaker 2: get their address, go after their home. Look what happened
22:03
Speaker 2: to Kavanaugh? Crazy lunatic shows up at his house with
22:07
Speaker 2: a gun, a knife, a hammer, a rope. Oh, I
22:10
Speaker 2: mean that's why they wear masks. Hey, when we come
22:13
Speaker 2: back to brilliant columnist Liz Peak will be with us
22:17
Speaker 2: next on seven to ten. WR mister or Mark Simoner, Well,
22:26
Speaker 2: Liz Peak, the brilliant columnist. You can read her columns
22:29
Speaker 2: of Fox News and make sure you check her website.
22:31
Speaker 2: There's great stories up there everyday. Lizpeak dot com lizpeak
22:35
Speaker 2: dot com. Course you see her all over television, Liz Peak.
22:38
Speaker 7: How you doing, I'm terrific, Thanks for having me on Mark.
22:42
Speaker 2: Hey. California primary, Steve Hilton got more votes than anybody.
22:47
Speaker 2: What do you think does he have a chance?
22:48
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, what I think is that he'll be a
22:52
Speaker 11: contender in November.
22:53
Speaker 7: Thank Heavens for that.
22:55
Speaker 11: You know, if you take his vote and line it
22:57
Speaker 11: up against the combined votes for Tom star Hi an
23:02
Speaker 11: Tony Batara, he probably is not ahead. And that's sort
23:05
Speaker 11: of the Democrat establishment plus left wing foot loops versus
23:11
Speaker 11: you know, versus Steve Hilton. But look, I think he
23:14
Speaker 11: does have a chance. Why seventy percent of voters in
23:17
Speaker 11: California say they want to change, and Steve Hilton is
23:21
Speaker 11: talking to that desire for change. He's proposing common sense
23:25
Speaker 11: fixes to a lot of the things that ail California.
23:29
Speaker 11: How can Democrats pretend to be the party of affordability
23:33
Speaker 11: when every major city except for ones in Hawaii that
23:38
Speaker 11: are the most expensive to live in, are in California.
23:40
Speaker 11: There's no reason for that. Hawaii is far away, I
23:44
Speaker 11: get that. California, No, it's right here, and yet it
23:48
Speaker 11: is outrageously expensive because of bad policies, because of strangling
23:54
Speaker 11: regulations on businesses, because of permitting inaccessibility, the fact that
23:58
Speaker 11: it's impossible to build, and high taxes. People kind of
24:04
Speaker 11: like they have an out of body experience. They don't
24:06
Speaker 11: believe that high taxes wend their way into higher prices.
24:10
Speaker 11: Of course they do. It drives up the price of everything.
24:13
Speaker 11: So California has seven dollars gallon gasoline? Why taxes and
24:18
Speaker 11: fees and all the stupid things that they've done to
24:21
Speaker 11: make gasoline practically extinct in the state of California.
24:24
Speaker 7: So do I think he has a chance.
24:27
Speaker 11: I'm ever optimistic about the common sense of the American people.
24:31
Speaker 7: Mark who knows.
24:32
Speaker 11: I mean, I think you're going to have the public
24:35
Speaker 11: union's public employee unions lined up aggressively against him. You're
24:40
Speaker 11: going to have a lot of people who want to
24:41
Speaker 11: go out and vote for the wealth tax. That's going
24:44
Speaker 11: to probably draw a lot of the fringe left to.
24:48
Speaker 7: The ballot box. But look, California is.
24:50
Speaker 11: Losing businesses, losing people, losing revenues, and all of those
24:55
Speaker 11: people are being replaced by illegal aliens who are not
25:00
Speaker 11: paying their way. So yeah, I think California has got problems.
25:03
Speaker 11: Steve is offering solutions. Let's hope the voters recognize that.
25:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is it with Democratic voters? You know, they'll
25:09
Speaker 2: scream about tariffs, that they could raise the price. Yeah,
25:12
Speaker 2: but the corporate taxes a tariff. It's democratic tariffs. So
25:16
Speaker 2: the I mean, and then Democrats have controlled every inch
25:21
Speaker 2: of New York, the city government, the state government for
25:24
Speaker 2: twelve years. How does Mom Downey get away with running
25:27
Speaker 2: on the affordability crisis, I know.
25:30
Speaker 11: And reforming New York. None of it makes any sense.
25:34
Speaker 11: People are not thinking through his policies. I'm sure you
25:38
Speaker 11: watch all his adulation on Twitter or x as I do.
25:44
Speaker 11: People come in and say, look what he's already done.
25:47
Speaker 11: He's filled one hundred thousand pop holds. He's improved housing
25:52
Speaker 11: affordability and availability.
25:54
Speaker 7: He's done this and that. No, he hasn't.
25:56
Speaker 11: He's talked about a lot of stuff, and you know,
25:58
Speaker 11: in the next couple of years, let's see, as the
26:02
Speaker 11: CEO of Goldman Sachs said in a recent interview, let's
26:05
Speaker 11: see if he knows how to govern.
26:07
Speaker 7: I mean, that is a little different than campaigning.
26:09
Speaker 11: Although he has already taken much of his office and
26:13
Speaker 11: devoted it to in effect constant campaigning with this sort
26:17
Speaker 11: of promotional videos and TikTok ITAs that he's got going on.
26:22
Speaker 11: I mean, it's really appalling to me. But you know,
26:25
Speaker 11: we'll see what he produces.
26:27
Speaker 2: Hey, what about La. It looks like Pratt has a
26:30
Speaker 2: real shot to win this. Of course, you've got to
26:31
Speaker 2: wait days and days to see what happened and during
26:34
Speaker 2: this mail and that's where all the cheating happens. But
26:36
Speaker 2: could Pratt be yeah.
26:37
Speaker 11: Exactly, Well, he certainly is in good position right now,
26:42
Speaker 11: nine points ahead of the number three person, Karen Bass,
26:45
Speaker 11: astonishingly because I think she has the appeal of I
26:49
Speaker 11: don't know, a stale piece of bread. Is in lead
26:55
Speaker 11: and certainly leading Spencer Pratt, but he seems to be
26:57
Speaker 11: number two. You know, you're always worrying California that all
27:01
Speaker 11: these mysterious ballots come in after the fact, after the date,
27:06
Speaker 11: and all of a sudden he loses.
27:07
Speaker 7: But his lead's pretty big.
27:09
Speaker 11: I would think it's gonna And by the way, it's
27:11
Speaker 11: like two thirds of the vote's been counted, right, so
27:13
Speaker 11: it's not forty percent, it's sixty seven or something percent.
27:18
Speaker 7: So it's a big slug of it.
27:20
Speaker 11: Let's just hope is fair and honest and that he
27:23
Speaker 11: has a chance, because my gosh, again, what has Karen
27:26
Speaker 11: Bass done for Los Angeles?
27:29
Speaker 6: That?
27:30
Speaker 11: I mean, my line for Steve Hilton was what do
27:33
Speaker 11: you have to lose to California voters for LA?
27:35
Speaker 7: What has Karen Bass done? I can't think of a
27:38
Speaker 7: single thing.
27:39
Speaker 2: So these crazy left wing socialists these is a Democrat
27:44
Speaker 2: party ever going to clean house and get back to normal, Well.
27:47
Speaker 11: Not anytime soon, because the money is coming from the
27:50
Speaker 11: far left. Money is power, and you know when you
27:54
Speaker 11: have someone like Mom Donnie endorsing a real wingnut, this
27:59
Speaker 11: person and Cheva, I don't know how that she pronounces
28:02
Speaker 11: that Chevalier or whatever, who is really racist and offensive
28:06
Speaker 11: and doesn't even think Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are
28:09
Speaker 11: far enough left and taking on, by the way, a
28:13
Speaker 11: five turn Democrat who's head of the Hispanic Caucus. Wow,
28:18
Speaker 11: I mean, talk about a leap into the unknown. Will
28:21
Speaker 11: people follow him? I don't know. I mean I think
28:26
Speaker 11: I think you're seeing a lot of money coming in
28:28
Speaker 11: from anti Israel groups, pro Muslim groups, I said on
28:32
Speaker 11: Varney this morning. I mean I think American's got to
28:34
Speaker 11: take a moment to say, what's on the other side
28:37
Speaker 11: of that anti Israel trade. I mean, Graham Platner in
28:40
Speaker 11: Maine is accusing Susan Collins of taking APAC money. Where's
28:44
Speaker 11: his money come from? I mean, who's on the other
28:47
Speaker 11: side of the anti Israel trade. It's pro Muslim, anti
28:51
Speaker 11: American groups that are anti capitalists and really don't want
28:55
Speaker 11: our country to succeed. So I think people need to
28:59
Speaker 11: take a moment here and figure out which side of
29:02
Speaker 11: that are they on, the pro Hamas group or pro
29:04
Speaker 11: Israel group.
29:05
Speaker 7: To me, that's a pretty easy decision to make.
29:08
Speaker 2: Hey, apparently the Bidens need money. They got huge overhead,
29:12
Speaker 2: and so Joe Biden the book is to raise some
29:15
Speaker 2: money and cash in. But this book, to her, this
29:18
Speaker 2: is not helping the Biden images it hahaha.
29:21
Speaker 11: No, it is not, because every time she opens her mouth,
29:24
Speaker 11: we are reminded of how completely hapless Joe Biden was.
29:27
Speaker 11: The essential lie of the last four years that Joe
29:31
Speaker 11: Biden was capable of running again. Every you know, they're
29:34
Speaker 11: going to whitewash this now, mark, but every Democrat official,
29:38
Speaker 11: every Democrat place you know, stakeholder was raising their hand
29:43
Speaker 11: and saying, oh, yes, Joe's in perfectly good shape.
29:45
Speaker 7: And she was the cheerleader number one.
29:48
Speaker 11: So they have all this angst about not releasing an autopsy.
29:53
Speaker 11: Holy crow, I can write their autopsy. The reason they
29:56
Speaker 11: lost in twenty four was that everything about the party
29:59
Speaker 11: was dishonest.
30:00
Speaker 7: It was dishonest to pretend Joe could run.
30:02
Speaker 11: It was dishonest not to have any kind of primary
30:05
Speaker 11: to choose his successor, and everything Kamala Harris's campaign on
30:08
Speaker 11: was dishonest. I mean really, it was like, you know,
30:12
Speaker 11: a cataclysmic defeat. It's true, but it's not really hard
30:16
Speaker 11: to figure out why.
30:18
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and the cover up was just the most
30:21
Speaker 2: disgraceful thing in the history of a media and journalism.
30:24
Speaker 2: So this Barry Weis's cleaning house at sixteen, is this
30:26
Speaker 2: like the beginning maybe of the end of fake news.
30:29
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe they'll get the oh, there's.
30:31
Speaker 7: Always going to be fake news.
30:34
Speaker 11: What amuses me is there's so irate that a wealthy
30:38
Speaker 11: person who owns the network now is supposedly determining editorial content.
30:44
Speaker 7: Well, maybe not.
30:45
Speaker 11: Maybe he just wants to get the organization back into
30:49
Speaker 11: the center where it can appeal to both left and right,
30:52
Speaker 11: as opposed to narrowing its target audience. But all they're
30:57
Speaker 11: mad about is that their guys are no longer in charge.
31:01
Speaker 7: It was always wealthy people looking the station, and they just.
31:05
Speaker 11: Had a different political slant. There's nothing morally highbrow about
31:09
Speaker 11: that or anything really to take umbrage about. It's just
31:13
Speaker 11: your team lost. You know, elections have consequences, so to
31:17
Speaker 11: economic decisions, so to business decisions. And if somebody like
31:21
Speaker 11: Jeff Bezos comes along and makes a fortune and decides
31:25
Speaker 11: to buy the Washington.
31:26
Speaker 7: Post, guess what, that's his right.
31:29
Speaker 11: And if he wants to change the Washington Post a
31:31
Speaker 11: little bit at a toiling or at least have some
31:35
Speaker 11: influence in that, that is his right, just like it's
31:38
Speaker 11: the right of the Sulzberger family to influence the New
31:40
Speaker 11: York Times. So there's nothing new here under the sun.
31:44
Speaker 11: It's just whose team is at bat. And Scott Pelley
31:47
Speaker 11: behaved abominably in a meeting and then in the follow
31:51
Speaker 11: up meetings. If you've read the letter that his boss
31:55
Speaker 11: posted to or sent to him, it's a very well
31:58
Speaker 11: written letter. It's like I was, you know, hoping to
32:00
Speaker 11: have a civil discourse. We did not, you did not,
32:04
Speaker 11: and so you're fired. And you know what, honestly the
32:09
Speaker 11: chuot spot of these liberal entertainers and newspeople and stuff.
32:14
Speaker 11: They think they are so important. Mark guess what they're not.
32:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, in the record shows, William Paley a couple
32:22
Speaker 2: of times called Edward R. Murrow into the office and
32:24
Speaker 2: yelled at them to drop a certain story. You're right,
32:26
Speaker 2: it's been going on forever.
32:28
Speaker 11: Of course, if you owned a property like a news
32:32
Speaker 11: station or a newspaper or whatever, you have some say.
32:36
Speaker 11: And I mean honestly, this trickles down to kids today
32:40
Speaker 11: who just don't think they have to do it all
32:41
Speaker 11: with their boy remember when they had to sit in
32:44
Speaker 11: of Apple employees demanding certain things refusing it was actually
32:49
Speaker 11: I think about showing up in the office two or
32:51
Speaker 11: three days a week. They refuse to do it, and
32:53
Speaker 11: then some of them got fired. And it's like, what,
32:55
Speaker 11: why should you know? There's no sense of accountability?
32:58
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess what. If your boss is your you
33:00
Speaker 7: need to listen to them.
33:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, great stuff. Liz Peak. You can read her
33:04
Speaker 2: columns at a foxnews dot com, but go to her website.
33:06
Speaker 2: There a lot of good stories up there. Lizpeak dot com,
33:10
Speaker 2: lizpeak dot com, and we'll see on a television course.
33:13
Speaker 2: And thanks for being with us.
33:16
Speaker 7: Thank you, Mark, Take care right.
33:17
Speaker 2: Take care, and you'll forget Buck and Clay. I listen
33:20
Speaker 2: to them every day noon to three. And then you
33:22
Speaker 2: got the most listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity.
33:26
Speaker 2: And make sure if you haven't listened yet, listen to
33:28
Speaker 2: Jimmy Failure excellent show. It's so funny every night nine
33:31
Speaker 2: to midnight on seven to ten WR.
33:35
Speaker 1: Give WOOR a bre said on the iHeartRadio app to
33:39
Speaker 1: hear Mark Simone and all the WOOR hosts. In an instance,
33:44
Speaker 1: go back to the Marximo Show on WOOR.
33:49
Speaker 2: I like that, I like you, I love you rock.
33:51
Speaker 2: It's great. The name was brilliant, The name it is genius.
33:56
Speaker 2: If you said, hey, we're gonna play seventies oldies, any
33:59
Speaker 2: radio company with what seventies oldies? That's too old seventies oldies.
34:03
Speaker 2: But if you said yacht rock, who everybody wants to play?
34:07
Speaker 9: Now?
34:07
Speaker 2: We got to do the same thing. For talk radio.
34:10
Speaker 2: Instead of talk radio blank talk like yacht rock. We
34:13
Speaker 2: could call it yacht talk. That might be it yachta
34:17
Speaker 2: but see if you can come up with a better name.
34:19
Speaker 2: Send it to me and he will be back after
34:22
Speaker 2: the news. A lot to get to in the next hour.
34:24
Speaker 2: We'll get to the Knicks, We'll get to Delaney Hall.
34:26
Speaker 2: Looks like little George Santos could get indicted again. We'll
34:29
Speaker 2: get to all of that and more another hour ago.
34:32
Speaker 2: Mark Simone here every day ten to noon, seven ten WR.
34:37
Speaker 1: He's the Mark Simon Show on seven ten WR.
34:42
Speaker 2: Well, another few of the Mom's Funny Day. It's you'd
34:44
Speaker 2: be like this the rest of the week. What's today?
34:46
Speaker 2: It's only Wednesday, but it's going to be a beautiful
34:49
Speaker 2: hot Well, it'll be great today tomorrow, then really hot
34:55
Speaker 2: ninety Friday, Saturday. It looks like it could be rain
34:58
Speaker 2: on Sunday. So apparently they just had a staff meeting
35:02
Speaker 2: at sixty minutes. You got to remember this Scott Pelley,
35:06
Speaker 2: this obnoxious, pompous ass, this crazy, screaming idiot, and there's
35:13
Speaker 2: a couple others like that. You know who's the one
35:15
Speaker 2: that just also got fired at CBS sixty men then
35:18
Speaker 2: wrote this nasty thing. So you get these fake news anchors,
35:21
Speaker 2: these pompous, ridiculous, sanctimonious idiots that are the anchors. But
35:25
Speaker 2: that's not everybody, you know. I'm sure if he went
35:28
Speaker 2: over to sixty Minutes, he talked to people and the staff,
35:30
Speaker 2: the crew. They're normal, They're totally normal, and most of
35:35
Speaker 2: them like Trump. You know, I used to do a
35:37
Speaker 2: lot of shows at MSNBC for years back. You know,
35:41
Speaker 2: they stopped debates years ago, but from the two thousand
35:46
Speaker 2: and four to twenty ten, there are a million shows
35:49
Speaker 2: at MSNBC. And he'd be on with Rachel Maddow and
35:53
Speaker 2: all these people, and these left wing kook anchors. You'd
35:56
Speaker 2: be in this big fights with them on the air.
35:58
Speaker 2: But after the show, as you'd leave big studio, big hallways,
36:04
Speaker 2: you'd walk through it, everybody on the crew would come
36:06
Speaker 2: over to you and go, I agree with you, and
36:08
Speaker 2: don't listen to those opinions. I mean all the people
36:11
Speaker 2: that worked on this show, the crew, the technicians, the engineers,
36:15
Speaker 2: normal people, not left wing kooks. So I'm sure it's
36:18
Speaker 2: the same thing at sixty Minutes. You could if you're
36:22
Speaker 2: the biggest thing in the world, if you're at a
36:27
Speaker 2: station or a TV network somewhere where you got the
36:29
Speaker 2: number one show, and your show is bringing in more revenue,
36:32
Speaker 2: and then yeah, you can yell at the boss. Then
36:34
Speaker 2: I've seen these cases. I mean, I miss, I miss.
36:39
Speaker 2: Would you got a brand new general manager, he'd just
36:42
Speaker 2: walk in and start screaming at the guy, yelling at him,
36:44
Speaker 2: making fun of him. Although I miss it was kind
36:47
Speaker 2: of He was a very shrewd guy. He knew exactly
36:51
Speaker 2: where the line was. He would do it, but not
36:53
Speaker 2: too much. But I can't miss any names here. This
36:58
Speaker 2: is years ago station, another place, Long ago Morning Guy,
37:05
Speaker 2: Big Morning Game, been in the air like thirty years.
37:07
Speaker 2: I mean, this guy was huge. He was the nastiest
37:11
Speaker 2: guy ever. There'd be fistfights in the studio. He'd curse
37:14
Speaker 2: and scream at every the worst and when he got
37:17
Speaker 2: done at the end of the morning show at ten o'clock,
37:19
Speaker 2: he'd roam the halls looking for any executive to scream at,
37:22
Speaker 2: to terrorize, and he could get away with it. He
37:25
Speaker 2: brought in so much revenue. Ratings were so good, so
37:28
Speaker 2: it got to the point where every executive in the station,
37:32
Speaker 2: the whole floor, would leave their office about nine to
37:35
Speaker 2: forty five and leave the building for like a half
37:37
Speaker 2: So when this guy got off the air, he couldn't
37:39
Speaker 2: find them. So but one day the chairman of the board,
37:46
Speaker 2: the billionaire was John Klugi happened to show up at
37:49
Speaker 2: the station. He owned Metro Media millions. As he showed
37:51
Speaker 2: up at the station around ten o'clock and as he
37:54
Speaker 2: went up and down the halls, no executives anywhere in
37:57
Speaker 2: the building, and he said, what the hell is going on?
37:59
Speaker 2: And then they had explained to him they all flee
38:01
Speaker 2: because when that guy gets off the here's going to
38:03
Speaker 2: scream at everybody. So he said, whoa you got to
38:07
Speaker 2: get rid of get rid of this guy? Fire him?
38:09
Speaker 2: Really we could fire him, Yeah, I don't care fire him.
38:13
Speaker 2: So he was gone. And there was a period where
38:16
Speaker 2: I remember that Fred Silverman took over NBC and he
38:20
Speaker 2: got no big clash with Johnny Carson and Carson although
38:24
Speaker 2: Carson was a real Midwestern gentleman of a guy, very
38:28
Speaker 2: well managed, so they would never tell him off. But
38:30
Speaker 2: there was a clash there and then Carson won that
38:32
Speaker 2: because but Scott Pelley, you could easily do without him, easily,
38:39
Speaker 2: horrible guy, and sixty minutes does not bring in him
38:42
Speaker 2: a lot of revenue. And the ratings are like one
38:44
Speaker 2: tenth of what they used to be. So you can't
38:47
Speaker 2: get away with that kind of stuff and his sanct
38:50
Speaker 2: demonious nonsense. But I mean, the guy just bought the place,
38:53
Speaker 2: wrote a check for eight billion or whatever, bought the place.
38:56
Speaker 2: You can't run into his office and say, you are
38:59
Speaker 2: the most discussed person in the world. How dare you
39:01
Speaker 2: even try to tell me what he can tell you
39:03
Speaker 2: what to do. And as I mentioned before, in the
39:06
Speaker 2: nineteen fifties, william S. Paley, the chairman, ared he owned CBS.
39:10
Speaker 2: He would call in Edward R. Murrow and tell him
39:12
Speaker 2: stop doing a story, and they'd get no big fight,
39:15
Speaker 2: and he would just order Murrow to stop doing it.
39:18
Speaker 2: This stuff always always went on. It's a million times
39:23
Speaker 2: at Ben Bradley the Washington book. He would kill a story.
39:28
Speaker 2: That was it. He was the boss. So pelly gone
39:31
Speaker 2: we he hasn't turned up yet. Imagine he'll write a
39:35
Speaker 2: book or do something or a big exclusive MSNBC interview
39:41
Speaker 2: and spew his pompous nonsense. So hey, Platner, he's still
39:47
Speaker 2: in the race. Let's see what's today Wednesday. I just
39:52
Speaker 2: think he'll be gone by Friday or Saturday. Plattner is
39:56
Speaker 2: the guy, the Democrat with the Nazi tattoo with the
39:59
Speaker 2: incre edible, awful, disgusting history, skeletons in his closet, cheating
40:04
Speaker 2: on his wife on some weird hookup site, sexting away
40:09
Speaker 2: with ten women at once. So far Democrats they're afraid
40:14
Speaker 2: to attack him. I know, to Schumer when he was
40:16
Speaker 2: asked over and over again, do you endorse him? And
40:18
Speaker 2: he said, we're gonna Susan Collins is going to win,
40:21
Speaker 2: gonna lose. We're going to get Susan Collins out of Yeah,
40:23
Speaker 2: but does that mean you endorse Platin here? We're gonna
40:26
Speaker 2: get Susan Collins out of, So you wouldn't actually say it.
40:29
Speaker 2: The only guy that'll say it. The only Democrat is Fatterman.
40:32
Speaker 12: What kind of a creeper has been on a decade
40:35
Speaker 12: on a platform like kick and send a dozen explicit
40:39
Speaker 12: kinds of messages? And who knows what else would it
40:42
Speaker 12: be better for Democrats if he was not the candidate here?
40:46
Speaker 12: All I'm saying it's like, you know, when I was
40:49
Speaker 12: growing up, if someone had a clear Nazi tattoo on them,
40:53
Speaker 12: you probably could consume or conclude that there's a Nazi sympathizer.
41:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, go back a few years Democratic world. Remember Gary Hart,
41:04
Speaker 2: He was like the Gavin Newsom, the pretty boy who
41:06
Speaker 2: was way out in the lead for the nomination. Turned
41:09
Speaker 2: out he was cheating on his wife. Caught him with
41:12
Speaker 2: a woman. Well that's it, had to drop out. The
41:14
Speaker 2: next day press conference, he's crying at the drop cheating
41:17
Speaker 2: on his way. This guy sexting and texting with six
41:21
Speaker 2: women at once while he's married, admits to masturbating and
41:25
Speaker 2: porta potties, got a big Nazi Nazi tattoo on him.
41:30
Speaker 2: No press conference, doesn't have to drop out. I still
41:33
Speaker 2: think he'll be gone. Still think the powers that be
41:37
Speaker 2: in democratic world will push him out by the end
41:40
Speaker 2: of the week. Hey, so George Santos, remember he was
41:44
Speaker 2: in prison and the president pardoned him. That got him
41:47
Speaker 2: out of prison and turned his life around. Well he's
41:51
Speaker 2: back under indictment. Looks like the DOJ is going to
41:55
Speaker 2: go after him. Apparently, you know those polymarket things, those
42:00
Speaker 2: betting markets. Apparently Santos cooked up a scheme to make
42:04
Speaker 2: a fortune in the poly market. This one was Kaishi.
42:10
Speaker 2: It was actually Kaishi, the gambling website. He can bet
42:13
Speaker 2: on anything, so they bet on anything, Like George Santos
42:17
Speaker 2: got pardon and the State of the Union is taking place.
42:22
Speaker 2: Will he go to the State of the Union. Will
42:24
Speaker 2: he be in the audience? You know, he's not really
42:26
Speaker 2: supposed to be back. You're not supposed to be in
42:29
Speaker 2: Congress if you've been expelled. But so he goes on
42:33
Speaker 2: television and makes the whole speech, I will definitely be there.
42:35
Speaker 2: I'll definitely be there, And people are betting and when
42:39
Speaker 2: he'll be there or not, so I will absolutely be there.
42:42
Speaker 2: And then he goes and makes the opposite bet because
42:46
Speaker 2: he's not going to be there, so he bets that
42:48
Speaker 2: he won't be He made a fortune by this spet.
42:51
Speaker 2: But believe it or not, I didn't realize that's actually illegal.
42:53
Speaker 2: Those gambling websites, it's considered insider trading. Even though it's
42:57
Speaker 2: not the stock market, it's a gambling site. So but
43:00
Speaker 2: so he went on TV to try to con everybody
43:02
Speaker 2: that he would be there. All of you here it is.
43:05
Speaker 13: So it's all of you like freaking out, like, oh,
43:07
Speaker 13: George Santos, you can go on the house floor. I
43:10
Speaker 13: cannot go on the house floor when it's in session,
43:12
Speaker 13: that is correct, But I can go on the house
43:14
Speaker 13: floor when it's not in session. I've done some floor
43:17
Speaker 13: tours and whatnot, but you guys forget I'm going to
43:20
Speaker 13: be in the gallery. I never said I was going
43:22
Speaker 13: to be on the floor or maybe I'm going to
43:26
Speaker 13: be there for the State of.
43:27
Speaker 14: The Union in the gallery. Guys, just chill, trolls, chill, Okay.
43:32
Speaker 14: I just want to see if you guys are going
43:33
Speaker 14: to be just as excited about la Monica mc ivor
43:37
Speaker 14: and Sheila McCormick when they get their asses bye.
43:45
Speaker 2: But this was all a scheme because he was acting
43:47
Speaker 2: in a bed against that and make a fortune. So
43:50
Speaker 2: believe it or not, that's a crime. Department of Justice
43:54
Speaker 2: now looking and charging him with insider trading. So the
43:58
Speaker 2: President pardoner got him out of jail. If he gets
44:01
Speaker 2: convicted on this, there's no pardon coming. There's absolutely no
44:05
Speaker 2: pardon coming. So hey, we're talking about Jill Biden world's
44:09
Speaker 2: worst roleout ever of a book. It's embarrassing everybody, making
44:14
Speaker 2: herself look like a fool, making it pretty obvious that
44:18
Speaker 2: I mean the Joe Biden's the first ex president who
44:22
Speaker 2: can't make any money. Every ex president makes money. Even
44:26
Speaker 2: if you were great, you get a lot of money
44:29
Speaker 2: for speeches. You get a lot of money for a book.
44:31
Speaker 2: You get a lot of money for this that big
44:34
Speaker 2: billionaires hire you to help them make deals. That Clinton
44:38
Speaker 2: would go all over the world with these billionaires getting
44:40
Speaker 2: paid a fortune to introduce them to other world leaders.
44:43
Speaker 2: Biden can't make a penny, and he's got a huge nut,
44:47
Speaker 2: huge overhead with the mansions, the beach houses, the kids,
44:51
Speaker 2: the brothers, the grandkids. So Jill's got Jill out there.
44:54
Speaker 2: You know, he had Hunter out there trying to hustle
44:56
Speaker 2: up money, be the bag man. Now he's got Jill
44:59
Speaker 2: out there, and she's thinks that it's really not working.
45:02
Speaker 2: They did an event at the ninety second Street. Why
45:05
Speaker 2: that's kind of a standard part of a book tour,
45:09
Speaker 2: and usually it's you sit on the stage and some
45:12
Speaker 2: prominent person interviews you, and it's to sell books. So
45:17
Speaker 2: she's got Whoopy Goldberg to interview her, and all of
45:20
Speaker 2: a sudden, towards the end, Joe Biden comes out of
45:23
Speaker 2: the audience. Joe Biden walks right up out of the stage,
45:26
Speaker 2: interrupts and tries to be funny, but he's, you know,
45:29
Speaker 2: totally incoherent, doesn't know what the hell, he's saying. So
45:32
Speaker 2: it was supposed to be funny, but everybody said it
45:35
Speaker 2: was the most cringe worthy. Think it was just total cringe. Hey, Also,
45:39
Speaker 2: remember that Whoopy Goldberg. You realize how dumb she is
45:42
Speaker 2: when it comes to politics. Politically, she's so ignorant. You
45:46
Speaker 2: remember there was that famous moment on the View when
45:49
Speaker 2: Biden first became president. He had to appoint somebody to
45:52
Speaker 2: be surge in general and they were arguing who should
45:55
Speaker 2: be surgeon general, and Whoopy Goldberg actually sat on the show.
45:58
Speaker 2: You know who should be? Doc Jill Biden. Doctor Jill
46:01
Speaker 2: Biden's a great doctor, She's a brilliant doctor. A point.
46:05
Speaker 2: And then believe or not, it was Joey Bayhart on
46:07
Speaker 2: the other side, like, lean over and say, she's not
46:09
Speaker 2: a doctor, she's a teacher. She's got a doctorate in education.
46:13
Speaker 2: She's an English teacher. So what people but quickly changed
46:17
Speaker 2: the subject. He really doesn't know much about anything. Hey,
46:21
Speaker 2: that Delaney Hall controversy. Delaney Hall is the iced detention center.
46:28
Speaker 2: It's got a beautiful name. It just sounds like it's
46:30
Speaker 2: on the campus of Yale, Delaney Hall, and everybody's looked
46:36
Speaker 2: at it. You know, they're eyesight screaming. The conditions are
46:39
Speaker 2: the worst conditions ever in history. It's disgusting in there. Well,
46:43
Speaker 2: it's not. There's official commissions and there's official groups that
46:47
Speaker 2: investigate prisons. And here's a Homeland Security secretary explaining what
46:53
Speaker 2: kind of rating Delaney Hall got.
46:55
Speaker 15: The State of New Jersey's health inspectors went in, they
46:58
Speaker 15: didn't find one single violation. But if you compare it
47:01
Speaker 15: to what the state prison system is, state priticism, they
47:06
Speaker 15: had three prisons that are in deplorable conditions. Quote, that's
47:09
Speaker 15: what the health inspector said.
47:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything's phony, these protesters, it's all phony. It's all
47:15
Speaker 2: just to try to embarrass Trump. They got prisons one
47:17
Speaker 2: hundred times worse than Delaney Hall, and they're not going
47:20
Speaker 2: to do a damn thing about it. And these protesters
47:22
Speaker 2: will never ever go after those prisons. Delaney Hall's fine,
47:26
Speaker 2: Tom Holman.
47:27
Speaker 16: It's all a false premise. There was never a hunger strike.
47:30
Speaker 16: The congressmans say, oh, people aren't hunger strike.
47:32
Speaker 7: No they weren't.
47:33
Speaker 16: They may not be eating in the cafeteria, but when
47:35
Speaker 16: I found out, they're ordering food from the commissary, eating
47:38
Speaker 16: in their cells. So there's there wasn't an abuse there.
47:41
Speaker 16: It's not inhuman conditions. I went to the entire facility.
47:44
Speaker 16: I ate the same meal they ate. That facility is
47:47
Speaker 16: well running.
47:48
Speaker 2: All right. Tom Holman ate the food all right, and
47:51
Speaker 2: he's not exactly the greatest gourmet in history, but it
47:54
Speaker 2: was fine for Tom Holman.
47:55
Speaker 16: And the government keeps saying she's going to keep raising
47:57
Speaker 16: hell at that facility shut down.
47:59
Speaker 2: Well, I got for the governor.
48:00
Speaker 16: That facility isn't going anywhere. We're going on force law.
48:05
Speaker 16: We're going to detain people. We're removed people mat at back.
48:07
Speaker 16: A lot of the people in that facility we couldn't
48:09
Speaker 16: release because they're mandatory detained by federal statue.
48:13
Speaker 2: Oh I never heard Tom Holman get that excited. But prison,
48:17
Speaker 2: But they'll keep protesting. It's funded heavily funded by crazy
48:21
Speaker 2: uh left wing Soros types. So Iran, Well, the talks
48:26
Speaker 2: continued slowly. There was a little action yesterday, there was
48:30
Speaker 2: a little action every day. Iran was sending some drones up.
48:33
Speaker 2: We quickly shot them down. Terran launched at least five missiles,
48:39
Speaker 2: but they failed to hit their targets in neighboring countries.
48:42
Speaker 2: Two fell short or splintered mid air, while the other
48:46
Speaker 2: three were intercepted by the US and shot down sent Com.
48:50
Speaker 2: That's US also shot down three one way attack drones
48:54
Speaker 2: that Iranian forces fired, So they still got some drones,
48:58
Speaker 2: they still got some missiles, but we keep shooting them down.
49:01
Speaker 2: So they're getting absolutely nowhere with that stuff. Hey, Bernie
49:06
Speaker 2: Sanders on the warp, I'll give you. I'll give Bernie
49:08
Speaker 2: Sanders credit for one thing. He sometimes can be ahead
49:11
Speaker 2: of the curve. Everybody's worried about AI. It's getting out
49:15
Speaker 2: of control too much. AI is going to put people
49:17
Speaker 2: out of work. Sanders has been on that kick for
49:19
Speaker 2: about ten years. He was on AI before anybody, but
49:23
Speaker 2: he's back on it now. This is a big issue.
49:25
Speaker 2: Stop this AI.
49:26
Speaker 17: Why is there not massive discussion about the impact of AI?
49:30
Speaker 17: For example, all right, who is pushing AI right now?
49:34
Speaker 17: Who's pushing AI? In rebuts the richest guys in the world, Musk, Bezos, Ellison, Zuckerberg.
49:42
Speaker 17: What do you think they want? Do you think of
49:43
Speaker 17: stuying up nights worrying about your family?
49:45
Speaker 2: I doubt it. Yeah. The problem is you could you
49:48
Speaker 2: could try to stop all this AI and shut The
49:51
Speaker 2: problem is China and the US are in a race
49:54
Speaker 2: on AI. China is trying to beat us in AI.
49:57
Speaker 2: If we shut down AI or slow down AI, China
50:00
Speaker 2: gets way ahead of US AI. Why we're gonna have
50:02
Speaker 2: a big, big, huge problem now. When it came to
50:05
Speaker 2: the Internet, the computers, we got ahead of everybody way
50:08
Speaker 2: back when, and we're still totally dominant. You go anywhere
50:12
Speaker 2: in the world, it's Dell, it's Apple, it's it's not
50:15
Speaker 2: Chinese computer. But when it comes to AI, we're in
50:19
Speaker 2: the lead right now. We got to stay in the lead.
50:21
Speaker 2: We can't let them get ahead of us. So that's
50:22
Speaker 2: the real problem. We'll take some calls. Next eight hundred
50:26
Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten is the number eight
50:30
Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven.
50:33
Speaker 1: Ten on seven ten wr she's more of the Marx Emosha.
50:41
Speaker 2: Well. CBS News president Barry Weisse putting out a statement,
50:47
Speaker 2: does we praised Scott Pelly for all the fine work
50:51
Speaker 2: he's done, but said his ridiculous behavior, the behavior was unacceptable,
50:56
Speaker 2: and she said it was the path he chose. He
51:01
Speaker 2: basically committed career suicide. So then Pelly, Scott Pelly put
51:05
Speaker 2: out this ridiculous statement about you know, I was in
51:08
Speaker 2: combat and Iran. I was in combat in Afghanistan. I
51:11
Speaker 2: was in combat in Iraq. He's being ridiculed all over
51:16
Speaker 2: the place online. He's just being ridiculed like crazy for
51:19
Speaker 2: that statement. He apparently went to Afghanistan in Iraq for
51:22
Speaker 2: two seconds to do a report. People online pointing out
51:26
Speaker 2: carrying a notebook and a camera as not being in combat.
51:30
Speaker 2: And it's a bit of a lie. So here's one
51:34
Speaker 2: guy calls him, what is this? He's a low rent
51:40
Speaker 2: Brian Williams. All right, that's a good way to put it.
51:43
Speaker 2: Let's go to Anthony in Edison. Anthony, how you doing.
51:48
Speaker 6: Hey, Mark, great job as usual. I just wanted to
51:50
Speaker 6: ask you real quick in the midst of all of
51:52
Speaker 6: the other distractions. Hopefully we're still adding on too and
51:55
Speaker 6: building more of the Southern Wall.
51:59
Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean we have been building wall. Yeah,
52:02
Speaker 2: I guess they're probably continuing with it, but there's no
52:06
Speaker 2: urgency right now because apparently all border crossing has stopped.
52:11
Speaker 2: They do get the news in Mexico and every place else,
52:14
Speaker 2: and they see how we're treating illegals and how we're
52:17
Speaker 2: locking them up and deporting them. So there's no border
52:19
Speaker 2: crossing at the moment, it's completely completely stopped. Yeah, but
52:22
Speaker 2: we should build that wall for the in case the
52:25
Speaker 2: Democrats ever get back in, but you know they can
52:28
Speaker 2: easily tear it down. Let's go to Bob in Mottville. Bob,
52:31
Speaker 2: how you doing.
52:33
Speaker 18: I'm doing good, Mark, Thanks for taking my call. You know,
52:36
Speaker 18: when Bernie Sanders and any Democrat or anybody opens their
52:40
Speaker 18: mouth about there should be discussions on AI and why
52:43
Speaker 18: haven't they been? Do we remember who the former czar
52:48
Speaker 18: was for Ai Harris?
52:51
Speaker 9: Oh?
52:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, the real genius.
52:52
Speaker 10: How did that go?
52:53
Speaker 2: Yeah? Real tech of genius? That Yeah, I forgot about that.
52:57
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Let's go to Don in New
52:59
Speaker 2: York City. Don, how you doing?
53:02
Speaker 6: Yeah? To loot Mark, I think I know who you
53:04
Speaker 6: were talking about? W W A M.
53:08
Speaker 2: Say the first initial. You got it?
53:13
Speaker 6: Yeah? You got him do a fight with Chips and Paula.
53:17
Speaker 6: I believe.
53:18
Speaker 2: Uh. Oh, well there were a number of fistfights. That
53:20
Speaker 2: was one famous one.
53:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
53:25
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for calling. Let's go to uh Joe
53:29
Speaker 2: in Elmwood Park. Joe, how you doing, good morning?
53:32
Speaker 6: Mark?
53:33
Speaker 19: Two things I caught Nick Shirley on gotfelt last night.
53:37
Speaker 6: And do you think Jack.
53:39
Speaker 19: Chittarelli would be protesting in front of Delaney Hall or
53:41
Speaker 19: be helping us out with with our taxes and our
53:45
Speaker 19: utility bills and stuff like that.
53:47
Speaker 2: I don't know. You know that, Jack, You got to
53:49
Speaker 2: give up on that. Jack Chittarell a nice guy, but
53:51
Speaker 2: he's never gonna win anything. He got this nit with now, Yeah,
53:54
Speaker 2: he's got this Well, one reason is because of Jack Chittarelly.
53:58
Speaker 2: You gotta get you gotta get candidates forget that shit.
54:01
Speaker 2: A real nice guy, but he's not going to ever
54:04
Speaker 2: get elected to anything. Uh, you got to get better candidates. Hey,
54:08
Speaker 2: we should talk. We got the worst Republican party in
54:11
Speaker 2: the New York State. We don't even have a Republican party.
54:13
Speaker 2: I mean it's something called that, but they don't actually
54:16
Speaker 2: do anything. They don't come up with anything. They didn't
54:21
Speaker 2: come up with Bruce Blakeman. Bruce Blakeman came up with
54:23
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman. And you know, you go to the Nassau
54:25
Speaker 2: County Republican Party, that's Joe Cairo. That's strong boy. That's
54:29
Speaker 2: why they win in Nasau. Kind of got a strong
54:31
Speaker 2: Republican party. We need one in New York State, we
54:34
Speaker 2: don't have one. And for some reason, the National Republican stuff,
54:38
Speaker 2: the RNC, they don't come in here and do anything
54:41
Speaker 2: to build a real Republican party here. I guess they
54:44
Speaker 2: just kind of right off New York. Let's go to
54:46
Speaker 2: lou and Queen's Lou.
54:48
Speaker 6: How you doing, Hey, Mark, good speaking to you, you know,
54:52
Speaker 6: in and out of a hospital.
54:53
Speaker 2: So really matter, what's wrong with you?
54:57
Speaker 6: I'm serious stuff.
54:58
Speaker 2: No, I'm sorry, but.
55:01
Speaker 19: Nobody's brought up the disaster that the car manufacturers that
55:05
Speaker 19: jumped in with both seat making EV vehicles and now
55:10
Speaker 19: we're taking a seventy billion dollar loss along with changing
55:15
Speaker 19: their marketing plans, manufacturing, and the job set loss as
55:19
Speaker 19: a result of them having to switch back to the
55:23
Speaker 19: more sensible hybrids and Gasolina injury.
55:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point.
55:26
Speaker 6: Anybody's talking about what a disaster it is.
55:29
Speaker 2: It's costing everybody a fortune. Good point. Well, thanks for
55:32
Speaker 2: I want you to feel better, good luck. I hope
55:34
Speaker 2: everything works out. Thanks for calling. Yet, you know if
55:37
Speaker 2: your insurance, your car insurance went way up over the
55:40
Speaker 2: last few years when you get that car insurance field. Ohiz,
55:43
Speaker 2: that's so much because of the evs. I know you
55:46
Speaker 2: don't drive an EV it doesn't matter. Electric vehicles cost
55:50
Speaker 2: a fortune to fix. So the insurance companies when they
55:54
Speaker 2: have to fix an electric field, it's a fortune. So
55:56
Speaker 2: to cover that, they had to raise everybody's insurance cost.
56:00
Speaker 2: You know, you're getting a little fender bender and it
56:02
Speaker 2: screws up your fender and then you know, over the
56:04
Speaker 2: front of the car you find out, Wow, three thousand
56:06
Speaker 2: dollars to fix it. It's crazy. But if it's an
56:10
Speaker 2: electric vehicle, it's like thirty thousand to fix it. It
56:13
Speaker 2: costs a fortune to fix these electric cars. So to
56:16
Speaker 2: cover that, insurance companies had to raise the price of
56:19
Speaker 2: everybody's car insurance everybody. And he's right, the car manufacturers
56:24
Speaker 2: took like a seventy billion dollar loss on these evs.
56:28
Speaker 2: I'm going to raise the price of all the cars
56:30
Speaker 2: to pay that off. So that green scheme has risen
56:34
Speaker 2: the bills for everybody. When we come back, we'll talk
56:38
Speaker 2: to the great columnist, the best selling author and Colter.
56:42
Speaker 2: We'll talk to her next on seven to ten WR.
56:46
Speaker 1: Live from the War Life Back Studios, bill Marks, some
56:51
Speaker 1: own show.
56:57
Speaker 2: Well and Culter, The Great Columnist, the best author. Make
57:01
Speaker 2: sure you follow on Twitter. Great stuff there. Even better
57:03
Speaker 2: is a substack where there's videos and podcasts and interviews
57:07
Speaker 2: and Culter dot substack dot com and check out her
57:11
Speaker 2: new Rumble channel, a lot of great stuff. She does
57:14
Speaker 2: a lot of shows on Rumble. Check that out and Culter.
57:18
Speaker 20: How you doing fantastic?
57:21
Speaker 21: Well, how about that California race?
57:23
Speaker 20: Mark Simone, Well, what do you think?
57:25
Speaker 2: Hilton got more votes than anybody? But if you can
57:28
Speaker 2: buy in all the Democrats, it's more than Hilton. I
57:31
Speaker 2: don't know can he win a statewide as well?
57:34
Speaker 21: I was considering how depressed I was going into the
57:38
Speaker 21: election yesterday. I just thought, it's California. There's no hope
57:43
Speaker 21: to have Hilton and Pratt both at least at this point.
57:46
Speaker 21: I mean, they've only counted fifty six sixty percent of
57:49
Speaker 21: the vote. It will be, As Nate Silver keeps pointing out,
57:52
Speaker 21: this is absurd in a first world country that it
57:55
Speaker 21: will take two weeks for them to tell us who
57:57
Speaker 21: won the election in California.
57:58
Speaker 2: Well, but they want to take their time.
58:01
Speaker 21: No, exactly right. I think Pratt's second place finish is
58:08
Speaker 21: fear enough above that ridiculous indie Indian City councilwoman, and
58:13
Speaker 21: she is utterly ridiculous that I think that is too
58:17
Speaker 21: big to steal.
58:18
Speaker 20: Well, except.
58:21
Speaker 21: Exactly these are California Democrats, Hilton.
58:25
Speaker 20: I mean, I'm thrilled. I'm so excited.
58:28
Speaker 21: It'll be suspicious, and so many people are watching this race.
58:32
Speaker 21: And then, yeah, we have the general election, so I'll
58:35
Speaker 21: probably be depressed on that day to anticipating the worst.
58:39
Speaker 21: But uh, it's way more possible now than it was
58:43
Speaker 21: yesterday that a Republican could become the governor and a
58:46
Speaker 21: Republican become the mayor of New York.
58:48
Speaker 20: I've been surprised looking.
58:50
Speaker 21: At this and and knowing people from the industry and
58:53
Speaker 21: in LA, how many people who would never have supported
58:59
Speaker 21: a republic in our supporting Spencer Pratt, and not just
59:03
Speaker 21: because his campaign has been fabulous, which it has been.
59:07
Speaker 21: All those videos online are spectacular. But La, I mean,
59:14
Speaker 21: it's the most beautiful city in the world, in the
59:17
Speaker 21: most beautiful state in the world. Only Democrats could wreck
59:21
Speaker 21: this and it's it's unbelievable what Democrats have done to
59:24
Speaker 21: that town.
59:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, but is this one of those Every so often
59:28
Speaker 2: there's a race where the poles aren't even measuring it
59:30
Speaker 2: because people in a certain city they're so upset, they're
59:34
Speaker 2: so afraid to go out there, have to the place
59:36
Speaker 2: burned down, the other halfs a war zone, that they're
59:39
Speaker 2: lying to the pulses. They're actually going to go pull
59:41
Speaker 2: a lever for Pratt. Do you think that's the case?
59:44
Speaker 20: I hope.
59:45
Speaker 21: So the problem in California is not only that you
59:50
Speaker 21: have the problem of lots of people who are dumb
59:58
Speaker 21: but think they're smart. I mean way more than you
1:00:01
Speaker 21: have in a place like New York. But it's the
1:00:05
Speaker 21: public sector unions, which, by the way, should never ever
1:00:08
Speaker 21: government workers should never be allowed to unionize. It's absurd,
1:00:12
Speaker 21: it doesn't make any sense. The whole point of a
1:00:14
Speaker 21: union is it's, you know, the workers against the capitalist lackeys,
1:00:18
Speaker 21: and the boss is trying to drive down your wages
1:00:21
Speaker 21: and make you work harder, work harder, and the workers
1:00:25
Speaker 21: don't have any bargaining power unless, oh, we all get
1:00:28
Speaker 21: together and we're going to go on strike unless you
1:00:30
Speaker 21: increase our wages. Okay, that's the idea of a union.
1:00:34
Speaker 21: In the case of government unions, that the boss, they
1:00:39
Speaker 21: are the ones who will elect their bosses. They go
1:00:42
Speaker 21: out and vote for the Democrats so they can keep
1:00:44
Speaker 21: working less and less and less and keep making more
1:00:48
Speaker 21: and more and more. I don't know if you saw
1:00:49
Speaker 21: this last night. I tweeted it something like ten ten
1:00:53
Speaker 21: California government officials make about as much as the low
1:00:59
Speaker 21: man on the toe totem pole playing for the LA Dodgers,
1:01:04
Speaker 21: like ten state employees making half a million dollars a
1:01:09
Speaker 21: year for generally no show jobs, can't be fired, get
1:01:13
Speaker 21: all all federal vacations off, lots of sick days, and well,
1:01:22
Speaker 21: I mean, simply not being able to be fired is
1:01:25
Speaker 21: a pretty big advantage that in the real world you
1:01:28
Speaker 21: take less money for that level of job security. No,
1:01:32
Speaker 21: not in the government, you get you get everything, get everything,
1:01:36
Speaker 21: and you're paid more than people in private sector.
1:01:40
Speaker 2: Hey, let's talk about Scott Pelley. This guy, sanctimonious, pompous asked,
1:01:46
Speaker 2: is he is? These fake news guys, these left wing media,
1:01:51
Speaker 2: the self importance that they I mean, they're setting world
1:01:55
Speaker 2: records for it. Will they ever see reality?
1:02:00
Speaker 21: He is among the worst. I'm I'm a little disappointed
1:02:05
Speaker 21: in Barry Wise for not just coming straight in and
1:02:07
Speaker 21: firing him. But in a way, this is this is
1:02:10
Speaker 21: more fun watching his sanctimonious exit. But no, every he
1:02:15
Speaker 21: is his politics are finger to the wind. What what
1:02:19
Speaker 21: does the Democratic Party want me to say? What's my
1:02:22
Speaker 21: position now? I mean, you have some great tweets pointing
1:02:24
Speaker 21: out of him taking so seriously the preposterous Russia investigation
1:02:31
Speaker 21: utterly completely preposterous. I mean a lot of frauds the
1:02:35
Speaker 21: MSM have have pushed on us over the years seem
1:02:39
Speaker 21: at least initially plausible.
1:02:42
Speaker 20: Maybe it's true.
1:02:43
Speaker 21: Oh gosh, I hope it's not. This Republican said something.
1:02:48
Speaker 21: Turns out it's it's completely you know, ripped apart a
1:02:51
Speaker 21: joke or something. But this from the outset, from the
1:02:55
Speaker 21: very concept of it, this is this utterly disorganized Trump
1:03:01
Speaker 21: campaign in twenty sixteen. Well he's this master strategist conspiring
1:03:07
Speaker 21: with the Putin and Russia. It was just so utterly
1:03:13
Speaker 21: mad from the beginning. And of course now we all
1:03:15
Speaker 21: know that it was being pushed by Andrew Weissman with
1:03:18
Speaker 21: that poor dementia patient running the Russia investigation as the
1:03:22
Speaker 21: frontman puppet Robert Muller. So for him to be being
1:03:27
Speaker 21: so somber and serious about the possibility that Trump was
1:03:31
Speaker 21: a threat to national security, direct threat I have some
1:03:36
Speaker 21: I've written about Kelly. He's He's been my own target
1:03:40
Speaker 21: for his ridiculousness. One time, I forget what the you know,
1:03:45
Speaker 21: they're constantly calling Trump a liar, a felon, who knows
1:03:48
Speaker 21: what the issue was. But he came out and called
1:03:51
Speaker 21: the President a felon. It was so great. Was the
1:03:56
Speaker 21: rest of the media just exploded in admiration for him. Whoa,
1:04:03
Speaker 21: he's tred ground where no one else is gone. And
1:04:06
Speaker 21: then you know, you do a click next to search.
1:04:08
Speaker 21: Everybody's called him a felony.
1:04:11
Speaker 2: But to go into the new boss and scream at
1:04:14
Speaker 2: him like a maniac and call him every name in
1:04:16
Speaker 2: the world. What goes to his head? Is he thinking
1:04:19
Speaker 2: they can't fire me? I'm Scott Pelley. Is that what
1:04:22
Speaker 2: he was thinking?
1:04:23
Speaker 21: I suspect not quite that. But I'm going to go out,
1:04:28
Speaker 21: probably figure that writing was on the wall anyway, But
1:04:31
Speaker 21: I'm going to go out in a blaze of glory.
1:04:33
Speaker 21: Oh the media will love me for this. I'll be
1:04:36
Speaker 21: interviewed all over I'll be written up admiringly in the
1:04:39
Speaker 21: New York Times. Think of what my obituary will read.
1:04:43
Speaker 21: I think that has a lot more media still has
1:04:45
Speaker 21: a lot of power.
1:04:47
Speaker 2: That's interesting. So where will he turn up? I know
1:04:51
Speaker 2: he'll do an interview CNN, Rachel maddaw. Where will he
1:04:55
Speaker 2: eventually wind up?
1:04:58
Speaker 20: Maybe he could take even Colbert's spot.
1:05:01
Speaker 21: They're about it's funny.
1:05:04
Speaker 20: So yeah, but I will tell you there's he will.
1:05:07
Speaker 21: He'll be teaching it, like you know, Harvard Kennedy School
1:05:10
Speaker 21: or Columbia Journalism School. Liberals, you cannot go poor in
1:05:15
Speaker 21: America as a liberal. It simply is not possible. I
1:05:18
Speaker 21: did this as one.
1:05:19
Speaker 20: Of my five stories you might have missed.
1:05:22
Speaker 21: A couple of weeks ago. I came upon, sort of
1:05:25
Speaker 21: by accident, the lawyer for Meta who was approving all
1:05:33
Speaker 21: of the censorship that the Biden administration was pushing on Facebook.
1:05:39
Speaker 21: Uh it was Facebook because he was Facebook, not Twitter.
1:05:42
Speaker 21: But one of the major the social media giants there
1:05:45
Speaker 21: are only only three or four of them, was this
1:05:48
Speaker 21: was this girl lawyer. And you know she's overseeing everything.
1:05:52
Speaker 21: She's head legal censor at Meta, and she's now teaching
1:05:58
Speaker 21: at Harvard Law School. That's fantastic. Get somebody who hasn't
1:06:06
Speaker 21: led the First Amendment. Let's have her teach you can't
1:06:10
Speaker 21: go poor in America.
1:06:11
Speaker 20: As a liberal.
1:06:12
Speaker 2: Hey, so Pelly was always screaming like that the commencement
1:06:15
Speaker 2: speech or even today about the liberal We're being censored,
1:06:20
Speaker 2: We're being silenced. You're right. Where was a liberal ever silenced?
1:06:24
Speaker 2: When did this ever happen? Anywhere?
1:06:26
Speaker 20: Would they consider anyone giving them.
1:06:28
Speaker 21: A dyspeptic look a form of censorship for actually banning
1:06:34
Speaker 21: people from throwing them off Twitter?
1:06:37
Speaker 20: Facebook?
1:06:38
Speaker 21: I mean I've used the example before. I just saw
1:06:40
Speaker 21: a video of me going around talking about it many
1:06:43
Speaker 21: many years ago, but even before you on took over Twitter.
1:06:47
Speaker 21: But it's it's really just studying. Milanopolis and Gavin McGinnis,
1:06:52
Speaker 21: whatever you think of them, were wildly popular on YouTube
1:06:57
Speaker 21: and Facebook. My Love was making hundreds of thousands of
1:07:02
Speaker 21: dollars a months. Gavin McGinnis had the most viewed video
1:07:07
Speaker 21: on YouTube. It was a funny sketch of him how
1:07:09
Speaker 21: to fight a baby. Probably half the people listening right
1:07:12
Speaker 21: now have seen it because it was hilarious.
1:07:15
Speaker 20: And in Gavin's case, for.
1:07:18
Speaker 21: Having absolutely nothing to do with Charlottesville. Remember Charlottesville, that
1:07:22
Speaker 21: was grounds for just a mass purge of Conservatis. He
1:07:26
Speaker 21: had nothing to do with it. He was up in
1:07:29
Speaker 21: in his you know, suburban home outside of New York
1:07:32
Speaker 21: with his family. He read about Charlottesville the same way
