• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not ready yet. It's been gone five days.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I forgot how you do everything year. I forgot where
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: everything is. Anyway, we've got a lot to talk about today.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: So what a Memorial Day weekend? I never saw whether
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: like that as you're leaving town Friday, the most beautiful
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: sunny day, as you're coming back last night, most beautiful
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: sunny evening, and then in between nothing but rain. It
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: was the worst weather ever for a Memorial Day weekend.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: But I mean it was a great Memorial Day if
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: if you own an umbrella store or something like that.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: But a lot to get to today. We're we're going
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to get to all the latest on IRAN. We'll run
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that down for you. Colbert goes off the air. I
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: wasn't here for that the next day, but we'll do
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the autopsy of exactly what went wrong. New Jersey Governor
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Mikey Cheryl getting a lot of criticism for pulling the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: cheapest publicity stunt. A lot more to get to anywhere.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: To start with, I ran, negotiations look pretty good according
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to the President. Now you've got to put an asterisk
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: on that. That's you know, there is a Donald Trump
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: exaggeration factor sometimes but it seems to be going well
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and they are coming to our you know, our terms
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: on a lot of stuff. It's pretty much ninety percent
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: agreement now. Now, of course, remember every agreement around makes
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: they always break in no time at all. But they've
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: agreed to give up the nuclear stuff. Yeah, they've agreed
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to give up everything nuclear. Now they're sticking point is
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: they're not yet totally agreeing to never again pursuing any
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: nuclear material, but that'll come. They tried to pull in
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: some crap over the weekend, especially yesterday Memorial Day. They
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: had some suspicious ships out there trying to lay mines
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: straight of horn Moves in the Gulf. They were trying
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to mine the gulf. So our military, our Air Force
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and Navy quickly quickly blew them up. So there was
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: some bombing yesterday as we took out a number of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: ships and vessels that were trying to lay mines. They
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: were completely destroyed yesterday, the US, calling them self defense strikes.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Sent Com spokesperson said the US military eliminated several IRGC
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: boats that were seen mining the Strait. Also took out
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a surface to air missile site in bomder Abbas the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: missile site was at Iran's primary naval station. They thought
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: it was targeting a US warplane. It was quickly taken out,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: so that'll help the negotiations a little. Now Here's that's
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: how it's done. If they give up the nuclear stuff.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: It's mostly dust. It's mostly nuclear dust under the rubble
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of the nuclear reactors we took out and everywhere else
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we thought there was nuclear material, we bombed the hell
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: out of it. So it's basically dust in the ground.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But it can be extract believe it or not. We
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: know how to do that. We're very good at that.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: We've got teams that actually know how to get in,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: get nuclear material and remove it. We had to do
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that in Libya after Kadafi gave up his nuclear material.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: These teams went in and got it all, scooped it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: up and knew how to get it out of the ground,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: knew how to transport it out of there. So they
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: haven't agreed on how this will be done. Option number one,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we will go in get the nuclear material, either destroy
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it in Iran, which can be done, or we will
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: remove it ourselves. Option number two, this is the one
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Iran is leading towards. They will turn over their nuclear
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: material to Pakistan or Turkey or Russia or China or
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: some other country we can't trust, but they may like
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that option.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if any other country wants to receive
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: nuclear material and have to store it, it's better if
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: we just go in and get it out. But again
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I like that option. We would just go in and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: destroy it. There. There's another third option, which is not
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: too good. Iran would agree to heavily dilute it. Keep
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the uranium, but dilute it. If you want to use
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the nuclear material for commercial purposes, for energy purposes, you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: enrich it to about twenty percent. For a nuclear weapon,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you got to get it to ninety percent. Well, Iran
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: headed up to sixty percent and climbing. That's why we
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: went in when we did, they were getting close to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: weaponizing it. So diluting it, I don't know. That would
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: require very intense international oversight. That'll be subject to more negotiation.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So I like that we go in and destroy it there.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I think that's the best option. So we'll see what
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: happens with that. Hey, this crazy governor New Jersey, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: know if she's crazy, it's just silly. He's kind of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a silly governor, Mikey Cheryl. I don't know why she
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: needed to do this. She's now the governor early in
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: her term, seems to be, you know, not having any controversy,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: any problems. I don't know why you need these cheap
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: publicity stunts, but it might be a sign of things
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to come. Big ice facility in New Jersey, and if
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: any official wants to go into the ice facility, it's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: easy enough to do. You call Homeland Security, you call
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: up and you make arrangements to visit and they will
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: give you a tour of the ice Facility's done all
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the time. Robert Menendez Junior did that. Some other local
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: officials in New Jersey toured the ice vestl. You can
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: do that, Mikey Cheryl had she called and arranged not
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: on Memorial Day weekend, but during the week. Come in,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: they'll give you a tour. She didn't do that deliberately. Instead,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: she just showed up screaming outside the doorway and of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: course had a mob with her, and it caused controversy
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and couldn't let her in that way too chaotic. And
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: then she runs around all over to every TV camera
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: yelling and screaming they wouldn't let her in. They wouldn't
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: let her in. Well, you know it doesn't work that way.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: It's like your NBC News. You wanted to do a
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: story on Rikers Island, you'd call up Rikers Island officials,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you tell them what you want to do. They'd arrange
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: for you to visit. They'd have people escort you through
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Rikers And that's how it's done. That's how you see
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: those prison documentaries. You arrange it with the prison to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: show up and they'll escort you through there. If you
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: just showed up outside Rikers Island yelling and screaming with cameras,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of course they don't know what the hell it is
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and they're going to chase you away. So Mikey Cheryl
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: did this fake, phony publicity stunt. She could have easily
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: arranged to go in, but deliberately didn't. Instead, she shows
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: up yelling and screaming with signs and protesters, and then
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: for the publicity stunt, screams about how they wouldn't let
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: her in.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: We've been working with ice to get into the facility.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I was just denied that this morning.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: I was hoping that trying. Well, we certainly will.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Uh, But it's obviously just a cheap publicity stunt. You know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: if you showed up here at iHeart downstairs, they got
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: all kinds of security and if you demand to come in,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you can't come in. But if you called us or
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: we're supposed to want you to come visit, we leave
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: your name downstairs, a guest pass you come in. That
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that's how it's done. Now here's Robert Menendez Junior. Now,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: by the way, he did arrange properly and went in
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and toward the facility. But it's a couple of days
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: later and now they got this great publicity stunt going
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: were you're going to be on cameraon be all over
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the news and get a lot of publicity. So he
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: pretends he couldn't get access. He's pretending now lying actually
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: him pretending's a kind word. He's lying that he never
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: got in, that he never saw the facility.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: The reason they want to make this as hard as possible.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: They won't let the governor in is because they don't
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: want us to tell the stories of what's happening inside.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: Because when we tell the stories, everyone in New Jersey
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: and people across the country realize this is not who
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: we are as a country, but a reflection of who
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: we are in this moment under the Trump administration.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Now, if you weren't sure just about how phony this
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: guy is, he was just inside the day before he
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: had a tour. We need to tell the story. You
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: were there, Tell the story, tell us what you saw. Hey,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: let's get to Stephen Colbert. How many of you are
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: proud to say that in his twenty one years on
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: television you never once watched Colbert. I mean a lot
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: of people, probably ninety nine percent of the country more
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: than that, actually never watched Colbert. It was a loser show.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Now you could argue, oh, it's number one among the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: late night shows, but only because the late night shows
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: had slipped so far down that they had no audience.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: He had the tiniest late night audience in the history
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: of CBS television. But it was enough to beat the
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: other Jimmy Kimmel is even worse. Fallon has no ratings,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and the other thing was losing forty million a year. Now,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the suspicious part is how did it stay on the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: last couple of years losing forty million a year. Now,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: there's a you're going to see all over the internet. Today,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: somebody has put out a document that's totally fake. They
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: just made it up. It's a fake financial statement of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the Colbert Report showing that it made one hundred million
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a year. Was absolutely no truth to it. It comes
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: from a guy on substack who just made it up.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Put it up on substack, and every left wing kookside
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: is putting this financial statement. It didn't even look like
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a financial statement. It's what an amateur thinks it would
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: look like. But it's totally fake. The show lost forty
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: million a year. The CBS can tell you that. And
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: what ratings did the big sign off get? How many
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: people tuned in? Now, that sign off got a hell
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of a lot of publicity and actually, by all measures,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: by any measure, the sign off ratings were disaster. It
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: got six point seven ten million people, six point seven million.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It might sound good, well, let's remember David Letterman's sign
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: off got fourteen million, Conan O'Brien sign off and that
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: was no big deal. But Conan O'Brien's sign off got
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: ten and a half million. Jay Leno sign off got
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: fifteen million. Johnny Carson, now it's years ago, got fifty
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: five million. Fifty five million, so compare that to six
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: point seven million, it's really not good. Yeah, so it's
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: like ten percent of what Johnny Carson got twelve percent actually,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: so by any measure, a total total disaster. Now, I
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: don't know. You gotta remember the other thing. It was
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: losing money. Everybody inside the business knew was losing about
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: forty million a year. And that's why nobody else has
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: offered him a job. It was announced ten months ago
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: he's being canceled. Well, ABC didn't offer him anything. He
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: just didn't offer him anything. HBO, Netflix, nobody, nobody, syndicators,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: nobody offered him anything. Even Conan O'Brien, who was considered
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: at his at the time a disaster on The Tonight Show.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Soon as he went off, he was offered immediately show
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: on TBS every night. Colbert has been offered nothing because
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: they know the actual numbers, and what company in their
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: right mind would say, hey, we could lose forty million,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: let's get him. So nothing on the horizon. He wrote
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a screenplay a sequel to The Hobbit, which the studio loves,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: some movie studios, so they've hired him to write that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: That's his next project. Now, The Weirdest thing he did.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this was all about. He's off
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the air Thursday night, final show. The next night, Friday night,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: he shows up in Monroe, Michigan. It's a small town
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: in Michigan to go on a local, tiny, local public
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: access cable show or something. It's called only in Monroe,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and he took over as the host. Monroe has a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: population of twenty thousand people, so let's say a couple
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: one hundred people, maybe a thousand peoplement the most were
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: watching this thing and he hosted the show for it
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: was just a weird, weird thing to do, but that's him.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: He's a weird, peculiar guy. He opened with a monologue
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: full of jokes and then talk to a few people.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Asked if the beer Milwaukee's Best was a sponsor. The
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: actor Steve Bichemy made a cameo. Now apparently it's gone
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: up online, it's been post it's on YouTube. It's ever
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: so a lot of people are watching that. Somebody originally
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was going after the copyright and pulling it down, but
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: they decided, who cares, let them let people watch it.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: So it was very odd Byron Allen takes over the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: time period of Stephen Colbier. It's Comics Unleashed or whatever
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it's called. It's not bad. It was pretty good. It's
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a change, a complete change from Colbert in that it's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a comedy show where they actually go for laughs. Colbert
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: never went for any laps he did. It's what they
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: call clapter, where you say something so ugly about Trump
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the audience just starts clapping instead of laughing. They clap
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: at every joke. They call that clapter. It's an easy
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: thing to do. It's much tougher to get laughs than clapter.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Clapter's easy. Just say something people are all going to
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: agree with and they start clapping. So as far as
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Colbert on real television, I don't think you'll ever see
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: him again. I think that's it. Strange, strange sort of guy.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And he was the opposite of every late night host.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Every late night successful host was like an all American
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Midwest you know, Johnny Carson, Jack Parr, Steve Allen. They
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: came from the Heartland. They were like regular guys. Letterman
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: was that way. Jay Leno, you know, the most regular
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: guy in the world under a car working on the engine.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: He's a regular guy. Colbert was totally different. I mean
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: he was from some small but he wasn't. He was
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: a very elitist Northeast leadst son Time sort of a guy.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: He was a kind of a Broadway singing, dancing poofy
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: kind of a Sonheime kind of a and he loved
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: sond Time and he would talk about again, that's not
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the formula for late night, late night. You got to
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: be a normal, normal American there we can relate to.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So he's not the type most people would relate to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: to begin with, and then he goes super partisan so
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: that half the country can't watch anyway. It's the dumbest
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: business model ever in the history of late night TV.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: But as Clemenza would say, you won't see him again anyway.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: We'll take tison calls. Next eight hundred three to two
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Is the number eight hundred three
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to two one zero seven ten. Like, Hey, it's Tuesday,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: remember that, not Monday. It's Tuesday. We're all back. Everybody's
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: back today. Let's let's go to the phones. Let's take
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: some calls. Let's go to John in Florida. John, how
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you doing.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark, doctor Florida.
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: Mark.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I was de sight on Barnie.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: They're given Trump a hard time about the ballroom. Republicans
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: the least they can do for this man who's let
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: him have his ballroom. They waste more money than any
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: more people that have caught it up liverpills.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's just whatever Trump wants. They hate Trump's
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: for it. There against it, the ballroom. The terrible shooting
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: incident at the White House this past few days, a
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: gunman opened fire, a lunatic Secret Service had to shoot
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: him and kill him, and then President calling for the ballroom.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: This well, and a lot of people say, what what
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: does that have to do with the ballroom? How does
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: he connect it? Well, a couple of reasons. One, when
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: they do the big events at the White House, they
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: do him outside in a tent. You don't want to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: be out there outside when they're shooting. That's the other
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: reason for the ballroom. It's totally bulletproof. And the other
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: reason is it's not just a ballroom. They're going six
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: stories underground, six floors down. The reason for that is
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: they're building the most incredible state of the arts security bunker.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Should there ever be a real threat to the President,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: he goes in that security bunker. The current security bunker
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: under the White House is very outdated, not up to speed,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: not fully adequate. So they would build a really serious
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: underground security facility. That's why he keeps connecting this stuff
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: to the ballroom. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: how you doing, Good morning, Mark.
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: I'm doing very well.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Mark.
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: We know President Trump just completed his trip to China.
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: What I'm asking is will Air Force one be retired
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: and replaced with a new aircraft before the end of
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: the President's turn.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure there is a new aircraft, a new
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: air Force one coming. I don't know if it'll be
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: ready by the time the President gets done. But good question, Dave.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: You know it takes years to build these things. That's why.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Remember the Saudis or Dubai whoever was going to lend
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: him that special jet. That's why. That's why he wanted it,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: because the new Air Force one may not be believe
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: or not. It can take three, four or five years
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: to build those things. Let's go to Kate in Queen's Kate.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: How you doing, Hi, Mark?
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: I love your show. Thanks that guy for real who
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: puts out the fake financial saying Colbert took in a hundred.
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: Million, I cracked up.
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah, they would never get rid of them.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Is the guy in knit with No it's just the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: left wing like loves fake documents. They put out fake
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: stuff all the time. It's a guy on substack who
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: made up this fake financial statement showing Colbert made up
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: run with it. Yeah, yeah, it's good. You're gonna see
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: it all over the place. Every left wing kook site,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: media site, all the left wing kook sites, Daily Beast,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: all the real left wing wacko sites, they'll they'll start
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: publishing it. It did not mean this. First of all,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: there's no show in television that makes a hunt millionayere,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: no primetime show makes a hundred million year anymore. I mean,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: that's the thirty year old ideas. But it's a totally
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: fake financial statement, doesn't even look like a real one.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: But I already see the left wingers posting it all
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: over Facebook today. If he was making a hundred million
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a year, first of all, they wouldn't have canceled it's.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Second of all, if he was making a hundred million year,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: every network in the world, every streaming service would be
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: calling him to get him on. Let's go to Jan
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey, Jan, how you doing?
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: Oh, Mark, not so good. I'm very discouraged about the Mets,

• 18:38
  Speaker 1: See you said, oh not good. I was so worried
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: you were sick something awful, and now it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: Turns out, well, it's just as awful.
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: How bad the Mets are doing.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: How long You've been a Mets fan since I was.
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: A little girl.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: You should be used to it. You get nervous when
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: they win. They always lose every season. It's Mets tradition.
• 18:57
  Speaker 10: Well, don't you have any advice from I don't have
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: advice for you.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Become a Yankee fan. If you've been a Yankee fan
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: all these years, you have twenty seven World championships, be
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a Yank.
• 19:10
  Speaker 10: Know what what me and my brother were remembering? We
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: were singing the old Mets theme song, and that kind
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: of cheered us up. Do you remember it? The old
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: Mets song?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: Ingle?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Where are you from?
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: Originally Staten Island?
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: No, well, aren't Staten Island people usually Yankee fans?
• 19:25
  Speaker 11: No?
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I mean Queen's Long Island. They tend
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: to be Mets fans.
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, we're discouraged. We need to be encouraged.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Well, the Yankees always win, the Mets always lose. What
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: is it you love about the Mets?
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: O meet the Mets, Greet the Mets.
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: Step right up.
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: And meet the Mets. That old jingle that's encouraging.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: How much would you charge not to sing? Anyway? Thanks
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: for claw. Let's go to uh Joe in Elmwood Park. Joe,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: I told you from the beginning, she's a clown. Now
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: we were talking to Mickey Shirley and there's an estimated
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: one million illegals in New Jersey, And why don't you
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: concentrate on getting our taxes down and getting our utilities
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: down instead of worrying about Let Ice do your job.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, stop fighting law enforcement. It's law enforcement illegals. They're
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: here illegally, they're breaking the law. And that's one reason
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: your taxes are so high. You got millions of illegals
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: you're financing. That's why everything's high. Your tax your property,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: tax expenses, everything. That's the job number one of the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: job number one of a governor. Get taxes down, make
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the place livable again, get all these costs down. You know,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: it's like we'll talk about this in the next hour.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Are these supermarkets, these Mamdani supermarkets. You know the reason
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: they can sell it cheaper. They have no property tax,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: they have no regulation they have That's why they can
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: lower the price. Supermarkets Just make suspend their property tax,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: take away their property tax and all their costs, and
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: they'll sell it cheaper for you. Then you won't have
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: to spend twenty billion building all these supermarkets. Hey, when
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: we come back, the greatest columnist in the world, Michael Goodwin,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: will be with us next. Well, Michael Goodwin the best
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: columnists in America. You can read them every Sunday and
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: every Wednesday in the New York Post and all of
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: his columns are up on the New York Post website.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: You can go there and read them. And he's with
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: us now. Michael Goodwin. How you doing okay?
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Mark?
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: Thank you?
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Hey? You wrote about the Democrats did a big autopsy
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: to figure out what went wrong in the election of
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. It is the phoniest, fakest, most ridiculous
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: non autopsy you've ever seen. What are they thinking?
• 21:52
  Speaker 12: Well, the one truth is that it was written by
• 21:56
  Speaker 12: a part time, temporary work. I mean, this is this
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: is the way I guess for the party to distance itself.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: From the product.
• 22:08
  Speaker 12: But you're overall, you're correct, it's a disaster and it
• 22:13
  Speaker 12: doesn't really point a way to any real solutions.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I focused on the one issue.
• 22:21
  Speaker 12: That I think it did get right, and that was
• 22:25
  Speaker 12: that the Tamaa Harris has sunk herself with that video
• 22:32
  Speaker 12: showing her supporting surgery for transgender criminals, No questions asked,
• 22:40
  Speaker 12: everybody's entitlement, and Donald Trump turned it into an ad
• 22:46
  Speaker 12: and it's a great ad in which recounts her words
• 22:50
  Speaker 12: and then the voiceover says she.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Is for they them, Donald Trump is for you.
• 23:00
  Speaker 12: And I think it was a brilliant summation, and to
• 23:04
  Speaker 12: its credit, the report did go into some detail talking
• 23:08
  Speaker 12: about how posters how Trump spent so much money running
• 23:12
  Speaker 12: his ad over and over in the Swing States, and
• 23:15
  Speaker 12: posters agreed it was very effective.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, except it looks like they haven't learned their lesson,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: you know, with these crazy extremist positions. They're taking even
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: more of them. They're talking about AOC for the nominee.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: It sounds like they're going even further the left what
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: are they thinking.
• 23:33
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I agree, I mean that you're right to extent it.
• 23:37
  Speaker 12: They seem not to have learned anything about the American voters, and.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I think that it does point up the fact mark
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: as you say, they're moving further and further left.
• 23:50
  Speaker 12: I mean we see that in New York right with
• 23:53
  Speaker 12: Hamamdani is kind of dragging HOCAL and the legislature into
• 23:59
  Speaker 12: into socialism camp. And of course Montdanni on the anti Semitism,
• 24:06
  Speaker 12: I mean that is a that's a feature of.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: The new left.
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: So yeah, we're seeing it all the country in the
• 24:13
  Speaker 12: Blue States, the Blue cities, and we'll see how the
• 24:18
  Speaker 12: Democrats do in the midterm. But also quickly followed by
• 24:23
  Speaker 12: the lineup for the twenty twenty eight presidential election. Right now,
• 24:28
  Speaker 12: you know, Deavin Newsom, Mahoc, I mean, who's going to
• 24:32
  Speaker 12: be their candidate.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: It's not a very talent rich Field.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And why are they talking about redoing our government,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: redoing democracy again? Really, electoral college, stacking the Supreme Court,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: making Puerto Rico and DC state. Why are they talking
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: so radically?
• 24:53
  Speaker 12: Well, they want what they want, and apparently the county
• 25:00
  Speaker 12: insitutions stands in their way, and the amendments of free Speaks.
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: All these things blocked the total mindset takeover of.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: The far left.
• 25:13
  Speaker 12: This is a look you and I talk about this.
• 25:17
  Speaker 12: This is a perilous time for the country. When you
• 25:21
  Speaker 12: think about just since World War Two, what the world
• 25:27
  Speaker 12: would look like if America were not the country it
• 25:31
  Speaker 12: has been strongest military, you know, a beacon.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: For freedom around the world. If you take all of
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: that away, what do you have left.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you think the fact that Mamdannie won so easily
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: in New York is encouraging them, and they don't realize
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: that's just crazy New York that the rest of the
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: country is not going to vote for radicals like that.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 26:01
  Speaker 12: They're playing sort of a long game mark wherever they
• 26:05
  Speaker 12: can get a win, they'll take it and go to
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: the bank on it and.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Then move up the ladder.
• 26:11
  Speaker 12: I mean the way Mom Donnie has convinced the HCAL
• 26:17
  Speaker 12: that she should.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Go along with him.
• 26:19
  Speaker 12: I mean he's calling the shots in Albany, and she's
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: doing it, of course, because she believes that's how she'll
• 26:27
  Speaker 12: win her election in the fall. So that's how it happens.
• 26:32
  Speaker 12: God of one election at a time. The takeover is proceeding.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, when the Deblasio got elected, the radical Deblasio,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: he started catering to the billionaires, to the business crowd.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: They all got his cell number. He was taking good
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: care of them. So he pretended to be radical. But
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: meantime those guys loved them and they made sure he
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: got reelected. We don't see Mom Donnie following that same
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: path to.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: No.
• 27:01
  Speaker 12: I think you're I think you're right that, uh de
• 27:04
  Speaker 12: Blasio is kind of a fake faith socialist, right.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: He liked to sleep in.
• 27:11
  Speaker 12: You know, he didn't really want to work, all that
• 27:13
  Speaker 12: kind of stuff. Give him a little money, you'll get
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: what you want. But I think Mom Donnie to that
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: in that regard is a true believer in the cause.
• 27:27
  Speaker 12: And we see all the different tentacles of that cause.
• 27:32
  Speaker 12: They're all destructive to the world as we know it.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Hey, the Israel Day Parade is coming up. Mom Donnie
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: looks like he's not gonna go. That's probably a smart decision.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think he should, and I don't think anybody
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: wants him there, do they.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: No.
• 27:46
  Speaker 12: I've just reading a speech this morning from a Rabbi
• 27:51
  Speaker 12: Mark Schneier on the East Side, and he said thank you,
• 27:55
  Speaker 12: thank you for not come. We don't want you. And uh,
• 27:59
  Speaker 12: you know you're you're out for Judaism, You're not. You know,
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: a little scenario is so ridiculous. So I think I
• 28:08
  Speaker 12: think the broke, the break with large parts of the
• 28:12
  Speaker 12: Jewish community is pretty complete.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Of course, there.
• 28:15
  Speaker 12: There are those Jews who do support him, and probably
• 28:20
  Speaker 12: some who are sitting in the middle and in between
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: the two groups. But yeah, I think it's this issue
• 28:27
  Speaker 12: has not run its course, that's for sure.
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny, he was at the Knicks game.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: As soon as the Knicks won last night, he tweeted out,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: that's not very socialist, is it too? That's that's not
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: the real hymn, is it?
• 28:41
  Speaker 12: No? I look, I think to a certain extent, you know,
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: he's kind of a creature of his own swamp in
• 28:50
  Speaker 12: the sense that.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: He follows, you know, he follows.
• 28:54
  Speaker 12: Is whatever whichever way the wind is blowing on certain
• 28:59
  Speaker 12: certain happier issues. Yeah, like all politicians, he wants to
• 29:03
  Speaker 12: be in the parade. And you know, I once earned
• 29:07
  Speaker 12: someone to describe a politician's parade. Watch a politician watches
• 29:13
  Speaker 12: which way the parade is going. In the runs, they
• 29:16
  Speaker 12: get in front. Yeah, and I think gotcha what he's
• 29:19
  Speaker 12: doing with poppilar issues like the next I mean, he
• 29:23
  Speaker 12: can't be against the Knicks right now in New York.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Well, Michael Goodwan, great stuff. Your next
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: column is tomorrow. Michael Goodwin is every Sunday and every
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Wednesday in the New York Post, and all his columns
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: are up on the New York Post website. Great talking
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: to you, and we'll do it again soon. Thanks for
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: being with us, Mike Pleasure, Mark, thank you. Take care. Hey,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: a beautiful Sonny Day. It's gonna be like this all week.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be Sonny eighties, you know, around eighty. It
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: can be like that this week through the weekend. Well,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I guess it makes up for that Memorial Day weekend. Hey. Now,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: now the fact that it was raining all weekend that
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: usually helps the box office. The fact that it's a
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: rainy weekend makes everybody go to the movies that you
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: know was on the fence about it. So but still
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: the Mandalorian and Grogu not good. Not good for a
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Star Wars sequel record low opening just eighty one million.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: That's not good. Well, actually, if you had in memorially,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: but ninety seven million. But that's not good for a
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Star Wars franchise movie. And considering it rained all weekend
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: all over the Northeast, that should have helped the box office.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: It didn't, so it had a rough, rough, rough weekend.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not George Lucas anymore. He's out of it,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: so it's not the same thing anymore. Lucas, you know,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the original Star Wars. He didn't want to do it,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: but they got him to do it, and he made
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: a deal. He agreed to do it for very low money,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: which they couldn't believe. He just wanted the rights to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the merchandising and back a million years ago, the movie
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: studio said, what does he want that for? So they
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: gave the merchandising rights. Who cares about that? And he
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: did it for low money, well off the merchandising. He
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: literally became a billionaire, a billionaire and still makes a
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: fortune to this day off all the merchandising. So it
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: was a brilliant move. Michael Jackson movie is the box
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: office king right now. It's up to about three hundred
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: and fifty million already, and Michael Jackson music is selling
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: like crazy and downloading like crazy all over the place
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: as a result of the movie Big Comeback. Hey, we
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: got a lot to get to in the next hour.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I'm back ten to noon every day and of course
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the podcast anytime back after the news seven to ten.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Wo Welcome back to the Mark Simone Show.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: Seen wr.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, a beautiful day to day. It's gonna be like
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: this all week. Remember it's Tuesday, it's not Monday. It's Tuesday.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Everybody's back to work. President Trump is as we speak,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: at Walter Reid Hospital getting his annual physical and they'll
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: release the results, I guess later today, probably today, And
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: you know when it's Trump physical, they always release the results.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: The healthiest president ever in history, unbelievably healthy, the greatest,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: the body of a twenty. But they do put out
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the actual lab reports, you know, blood pressure, cholesterol, They
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: put out the actual numbers, so you can look at that.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: And he is in great shape, always in pretty good shape,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: strong like a bull. His father was the same way.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Good genes, and it's not gonna be that Well, how
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: long is it physical? Like an hour? Two hours? When
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: you go to Walter Reed, they do a lot of
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: real testing. Well, you know, all that equipment. It's a
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: really great hospital, and they have a special presidential wing.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: He doesn't go into the regular Walter. We read this
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: special presidential wing, and the rooms and everything are beautiful.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: They look like the finest suite in the Ritz Carlton.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: They look amazing. But I'm looking at his schedule for today.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: He has a policy meeting at the White House at
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: one thirty, so I guess he'll be out of there
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: pretty soon. We'll be back in action. Schedule today one thirty,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a policy meeting, two thirty, another policy meeting five point thirty.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: There's a policy meeting seven o'clock. There's a Rose Garden
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: club dinner. They do those now in the warm weather.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: They have these beautiful dinners out in the rose Garden.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: You know, it was the rose garden had some roses.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: It was a big grass field with a couple of
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: roses around it. And then he decided to transform it
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: into the most beautiful, majestic place, just like at mar
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: A Lago. He put in this beautiful They call it
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: a deck, a patio. They say he paved it over.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: It's not pavement. It's like the finest tile. It's beautifully done.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: If you look at the detail in it, even the drains.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: He put drains all around it so that you never
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: have a problem with the water there. It always drains immediately.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: But if you look at the drains, the vents in
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: the drain or shaped like the American flag, it's really
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: well done. And the old Roast Garden, it was just
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: a grass field, kind of muddy, kind of wet, and
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: they throw some folding chairs on it. This new Rose Garden,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: it's the most beautiful tile, it's majestic, and they put
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the most beautiful outdoor furniture you've ever seen, the most
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: beautiful chairs and tables and umbrellas, and it's magnificent. Now,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: of course the left wing yelling and screaming that he
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: ruined the Rose Garden put it back to a muddy
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: grass field. It looked horrible before. It looks majestic. Now
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: it looks very presidential. And they do these dinners many
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: many nights when the weather's nice. But he invites different piece.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a members of Congress, sometimes it's different groups.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: But it's absolutely beautiful and it's outdoors. Remember Washington, DC
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: doesn't have skyscrapers, so you can see the sky. You
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: can see the stars for miles. Absolutely beautiful out there.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: So a Rose Garden Club dinner later tonight, and I
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: think you'll probably not hear anything about Iran the rest
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: of the day. You'll hear some more tomorrow. But they're
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: working on it. They're picking up the nuclear material and
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: getting it out of there. Hey, before he left for
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Memorial Day weekend, well actually he didn't leave. He returned
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: to the White House. But Friday morning they swore in
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Kevin Walsh. He is the new FED chairman. He's everybody's choice.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: It's who everybody wanted. It came down to Scott Bessett
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: would be the best, but they couldn't lose him as
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary. Next would be Kevin Hassett, but again he's
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: at the White House Economic Advisor. They can't lose him
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: from that job. But in that group was Kevin Warsh.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: That was the other one. Everybody wanted. Great choice for
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: FED chairman. He was sworn in on Friday.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Thankfully, Unlike some of his predecessors, Kevin understands that when
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: the economy is booming it.
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: Is, that's a good thing.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: We'd have to go crazy just let it boom.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: We wanted to boom.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: He'll do a good job. I know, Kevin worshe is
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: a great, great guy.
• 36:13
  Speaker 13: When we pursue those aims. By the way, when we
• 36:16
  Speaker 13: pursue those aims with wisdom and clarity, independence and resolve,
• 36:22
  Speaker 13: inflation can be lower, growth stronger, real take home pay higher,
• 36:29
  Speaker 13: and America can be more prosperous.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Again, a very fine guy. Not the most exciting guy,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: but a very fine guy. You know. The president and
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: the first term, they took a cell phone away. In
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the first term, they gave him the official presidential cell phone,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: which has got nothing in it. It's a very secure,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: safe phone. It has no apps, there's nothing in it.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: He can't hack into it. It's a But this time
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: around he kept his own cell phone. He's got his
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: own real iPhone and gives a cell number to millions
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: of people and they're always calling him. Joe Scarborough reveals
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: this morning Joe Scarborough Morning, Joe reveals that he called
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: him to discuss Iran with him. Then one thing about
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: President Trump, he's a very nice guy in real life.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: He's nice to you know. He sometimes he's attacking people
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and says all kinds of vicious but he's a really
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: nice guy. Even if you're Joe Scarborough, his worst enemy.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: If Joe Scarborough calls, he takes the call, he talks
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to him for ten minutes, pretends he's listening to the advice.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Scarborough says he gave all kinds of advice on Iran.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: He advised him stop listening to Lindsey Graham, stop listening
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to this guy. Don't here's what you need to know.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Here's what now. Knowing the President, I'm sure he had
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: the Yankee game on and was watching that. He'd probably
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: hit mute and let Scarborough talk. And then when he
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: ever heard Scarborough pause, he unmute and go yeah, yeah,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: oh it's interesting. What else? And then he'd hit mute
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: again and keep watching the Yankee game. But I don't
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: know why Scarborough brags about this on his show, that
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: he's talking and he's calling Trump and discussing things with him.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: That's not good for his or his audience would hate that.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: But he gives a cell number all kinds of it.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie calls now and then you know that Hockel
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: calls them all the time. I don't know why, what's
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: he going to do for her? He can't stand her.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: But it's interesting. He's really good at that, at buttering
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: these people up. Even if he hates you, he can
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: butter you up like crazy. You're the best, You're the best.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing great things about you. I love you, and
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: they believe it. They all fall for it. But even
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: admitted Hockel calls all the time.
• 38:33
  Speaker 13: She calls me up a lot.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: I immediately know it's her because I do have friends
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: in Buffalo, but they haven't called me too much. Lightly
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: says Buffalo and said, Hi, mister President's Kathy, Hi, Hi,
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: could you help me here? Could you help me there?
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: And we're having a little problem getting this and we're
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: trying to get that. Could you give me a little hand?
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: I say, Kathy, you're always killing me. What the hell
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: would I give you a Well, I just thought i'd try. Okay,
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: thank you very much.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: But he's very good at that. When she's on the phone, Hey,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: anything you need, you call me anytime, anything you need Okay, goodbye.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Then he turns everybody you believe this idio, But she
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: keeps calling. I guess it feels good to keep calling him.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: So Hokeel getting nothing done. Bruce Blakeman will be the
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: next governor. Fate will take care of this. Bruce Blakeman
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: will do a great, great job. And it's just it's
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: going to be a tough race. They're going to hit
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: him with everything. Now you could see Democrats actually get
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: wiped out in November. It's not looking good for them everywhere.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: It's you know, this always turns a corner. There's radical, radical, radical,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: way too far to the left kind of all these
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: crazy positions. At some point it turns a corner. Some
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: people feel that it's starting to turn that corner. Now
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: there's these crazy guys billionaires. The left claims they hate billionaires,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: but they love billionaires. They love them. The billionaires are
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: who runs them, George Soros, those type of billionaires. So
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: they got two big ones. They got Soros and the
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: other guy is in Singapore. This is Neville Roy Singham.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: He's the other Soros. Now he spends hundreds of millions
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: financing all this crap, all the most radical democratic crap
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: in this country. And Democrats now have a good thing going.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: They got Soros, who's very very old the sun is
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: trying to take over as the crazy financier of all
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: the left wing kook stuff. But now that they got
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: this Singam. They're kind of pitting the two guys against
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: each other, you know, starting a competition who can spend
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: the most. So Soros a Singam is given tons and
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: tons and tons of money funding every left wing Kouk movement.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Hassan Piker, the radical anti Semite, big part of the
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: left wing, has actually said publicly he was talking about
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: it on the Area, admits A Singham is the financier
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: of these political movements, pump tens of millions into this.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, Soros announces he's giving another
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: thirty million to uh Now. He claimed it's the group's
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: fighting anti Semitism and other bigotry, but meantime it all
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: ends up in the wrong hands and doesn't do anything.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: So you got these two guys competing like crazy. Hey,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: everybody's worried about AI. You know what these college commencement speeches.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Anytime a speaker talked about AI or the future with AI,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: the college kids all booed. It was fascinating. Whenever they
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: heard AI, they would boo like crazy, and even the
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: speaker would looked a little shocked. He couldn't believe, couldn't
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: believe how much they these college kids hate AI. You
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: would think a group grown up with this would hate it,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: but they don't, except for one. Apple co founder Steve
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Wozniak actually got applause. I guess he just said it
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the right way. Oh no, actually, no, wait a minute,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I got it wrong. He was against AI, That's why
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: he got applause. He started talking about it. But basically
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: he said, you don't need it. You got you have
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: your own AI. It's called actual intelligence. Forget the AI,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: use actual intelligence. So they were cheering him like crazy.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Uh so these college kids hate AI. Now you got
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Pope Leo, who for some reason issued a dire warning
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: about the threat of artificial intelligence. It's kind of an
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: unusual stand for a pope. What does this have to
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: do with the pope with the But he really went
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: after AI. It's the worst thing. It's worse than the
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: bigger threat than the Tower of Babel. I mean this,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: I mean this is a very very left wing pope.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know what all that means, but he's really
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: coming out against AI. But a very very left wing pope.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: You know, you issued the first papal apology for the
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Vatican's role in legitimizing slavery. Well, first of all, slavery
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: was terrible, but it existed all over the world back then.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: It wasn't the US, it was everywhere. It was just common.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: That was the way it was done back then. So
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: thank god it's gone and it's over. But the pope
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: apologizing for it absolutely ridiculous. Now, I guess one of
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: the reasons college kids would hate AI. I guess they
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: think because you would leave in college supposedly you want
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: to go to work and get a job and have
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: a career, and they're worried that AI is going to
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: replace all of them. And I mean, let's be honest,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: there's some truth that a lot of jobs are going
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: to go because of AI. Jamie Diamond, the greatest CEO
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: of all JP Morgan, actually said we're hiring from now on,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: We're hiring mostly AI brainiacs, not bankers, a lot less bankers,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: more AI brainiacs. But Jamie Diamond did say we're not
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: going to fire people over AI. Well, simply let natural
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: attrition do the job. He said, about thirty thousand workers
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: quit or retire every year. They'll just won't replace them,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: so they'll do it that way. You know, they have
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: about three hundred employees JP Morgan Chase three hundred thousand,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: so ten percent a year quit or retire. They just
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: won't replace them, so it'll be a lot of AI.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Now you've got to remember this has happened before. The
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Industrial Revolution put an enormous chunk of people out of work,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: and eventually they found other jobs. Of the careers, there's
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: a transition time before they do that. It can be
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: five years, ten years. And the same thing happened in
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the century when the Internet and the
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: digital stuff came in a lot of people were suddenly
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: out of work as a result. It takes time, but
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: eventually you adjust. Now, every time something new is invented,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: everybody fears it. They fear AI. They feared the internet
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: back then. Remember when electricity was invented, people were afraid
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: of it. It was the same thing as AI. Believe
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: it or not. When electricity was invented, they thought it
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: was evil, terrible, it was going to kill us all
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: destroy us. That's why Mary Shelley at the time wrote
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: the book Frankenstein about the evils how dangerous electricity might be.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: It created a monster or something like that. So people
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: always get afraid and terrified. But come back in ten
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: years you might see a whole different picture. Hey, which
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: city is becoming very hot right now? Nashville that's already hot.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Austin already became hot, Believe it or not. Hartford, Connecticut,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: you know, it's been a terrible city for years. People
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: have been fleeing Hartford for seventy five years, filled with crime.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: A lot of these you think, Connecticut, all these beautiful places.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Bridgeport's bad, Waterbury's mad. Hartford's been horrible, but it's changing.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: People are starting to move into Hartford. A lot of
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: the homes are now going for above asking price. Prices
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: are rising, average home price way up. Hartford all of
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: a sudden taken off. You know, keep an eye on Hartford.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: You know, nowhere else. Buffalo, Yeah, Buffalo. I mean it's
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: the worst weather in the world. You can get eight
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: feet of snow. New York City is doing very well.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Believe or not.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: New York City is rising. Don't believe anything you hear.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: New York City real estate is booming. Apartment sales are
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: high as ever and going They're higher than last year.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Rentals are totally sold up. You can't even get a
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: rental anymore. People are moving into New York like crazy,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: and rentals are important. Those are people coming in for
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: the first time renting and then usually many of those
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: renters start to buy a year or two later, so
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: those are often the future buyers. Commercial real estate in
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: New York, this is a real indicator. Now listen to this.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Commercial real estate in New York. Fifteen million square feet
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: were released already this year. That's up fifteen percent from
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: last year. Commercial real estate up fifteen percent from last year.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Now I know you keep hearing, Oh well JP Morgan.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Oh they're opening in Texas, they're moving people to Tampa. Yeah,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: that's true. But you got to remember they always did that,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: all these big companies like JP Morgan, they always had
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: a footprint in Texas, a foot the back office stuff.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: They put it down there because it's cheaper. But New
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: York is booming. Hottest neighborhood right now, Upper West Side, Brooklyn,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: parts of Brooklyn, and the hottest the flat Iron District.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: It's booming. They used to call it Park Avenue South,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Now it's the flat Iron District. That's where all the
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: most expensive new apartments, restaurants, everything opening down there. Hey, well,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: take some calls. Next eight hundred three two one zero
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: seven ten. Is the number eight hundred three two one
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten. Well, let's take some calls. Let's go
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you.
• 47:44
  Speaker 14: Doing, Good morning, Mark, welcome back.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 47:49
  Speaker 15: You have to guess that the president's visit to Walter
• 47:51
  Speaker 15: Reed for his annual physical is going to be unlike mine,
• 47:54
  Speaker 15: where he goes and sits in the waiting room for
• 47:57
  Speaker 15: an hour, because is the other ten people they had
• 47:59
  Speaker 15: the same ten o'clock appointment, and there are a bunch
• 48:01
  Speaker 15: of old farts coughing, and none of whom can hear
• 48:04
  Speaker 15: their name when they're called.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Well, that's Florida. Uh, let's be honest. You don't have
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: the greatest doctors in Florida.
• 48:12
  Speaker 14: Do you. You know it's they're all corporate now, they're
• 48:16
  Speaker 14: all work. They will work for the Cleveland Clinic.
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: Or some associations.
• 48:20
  Speaker 14: Very few private practitioners anymore.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: They're all yeah, but you got to remember something like
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: New York, he got the greatest doctors in the world.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Florida they're not so great. But then they say, oh,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: but the Cleveland Clinic just opened here. Oh, they don't
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: realize the Cleveland Clinic opens down there by hiring a
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: bunch of the same local doctors. They don't bring it.
• 48:37
  Speaker 14: That's what they do. Yeah, that's exactly what they do.
• 48:41
  Speaker 14: And it's not the Cleveland Clinic and clinic in Cleveland.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: You know, they're not sending the top doctors down there.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: They're opening down there with their name and hiring the
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: same local doctors so precisely.
• 48:52
  Speaker 14: And it's also strange that there's nobody no doctors with
• 48:55
  Speaker 14: you know, when you know, with the wits or a
• 48:56
  Speaker 14: berg at the F to the end of their name.
• 48:58
  Speaker 14: That takes some adjusting to get used to.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Oh you don't have that, No, not where I am.
• 49:03
  Speaker 14: Maybe down in Palm Beach or Miami, you know, there's
• 49:06
  Speaker 14: more Jewish doctors, but where I am in Port Sainte Lucy,
• 49:09
  Speaker 14: it's very rare.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Oh oh that doesn't sound good. All right, Well, no,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Well that's why people moved to Florida.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: But when they really need a real doctor, they fly
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: back to New York for it. Let's go to rich
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: in Myrtle Beach. Rich How you doing.
• 49:23
  Speaker 8: Hey, Thanks, Mark, I hope you had a good weekend.
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: You know, all these congress people and the Senate people
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: that have been suckling at the teet of the US
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: taxpayer for decades and decades and will continue to do
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: so for decades. You have to retire or all the
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: people complaining about all the stuff that Trump is doing
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: to the White House and the ball in the Rose
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: Garden that he's paying for through private donations. That doesn't
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: cost us a penny to anybody. It's all free money,
• 49:48
  Speaker 8: and he got nothing to do but complain about it.
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: But at the same time they're going to suck on
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: our teeth for the rest of the election.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but apparently there will be some tax payer money
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: in it. But the ballroom is just one part. The
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: other the ballroom is one and then they're going six
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: floors down to put in a real serious security stuff
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: bunker and all of that stuff. So it's a good point.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: There's a bunker security facility under the White House. Now
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: apparently it's very outdated, not up to speed, not state
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: of the art. So under this ballroom they would build
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: an ad That's why the price rose too. By the way,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: they're going to put absolute state of the art security
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: bunker situation, all that stuff down there, much better than
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: what they have. Now, let's go to Maria in Terrytown, Maria.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: How you doing, hey, Mark.
• 50:33
  Speaker 11: A popular topic on the internet this weekend was that
• 50:37
  Speaker 11: Biden hired eighty seven thousand IRS agents who couldn't find
• 50:43
  Speaker 11: the Somali fraud. Meanwhile, you have Mike Shirley, Nick Shirley
• 50:47
  Speaker 11: finding it right away.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Very good point, excellent point that. Yeah, I think they
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: got rid of those eighty seven thousand agents. I think
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Trump let them all go. Biden hired eighty seven thousand
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: arms with guns, high err S agents to go after people,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: and they were basically targeting Republicans Conservatives. You're right, they
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: didn't find the Somali fraud. This twelve year old Nick
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Shirley with a camera with his iPhone found like a
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars with a fraud already in Minnesota, now in California.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Apparently Ohio is next to going to find it all
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: over the place. This fraud is massive. What tells her name?
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Elon Omar from Minnesota looks like she was adjacent to
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: all this fraud and according to Marco Rubio, they are
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: close to deporting her immigration violations. Apparently they'll get her
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: and most likely get rid of her the porter once
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: and for all. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 51:49
  Speaker 7: Good morning Mark, Good morning Mara. They should also check
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: the Tri State area because the medicaid fraud is massive
• 51:58
  Speaker 7: in the Tri State. Anybody who likes to fly a
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: lot and who has to check flight arrivals in departure
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: times should love AI. Because last week I had a
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: check on the arrival time of somebody coming into the state,
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: and I called up this major carrier and the first
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: thing when the phone immediately got answered and the voice said,
• 52:22
  Speaker 7: this is your blank blank AI assistant, How can I
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: help you? And I just said arrivals, they said, And
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: the voice said, the AI voice said date and time
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: and flight number. I'd put it in immediately. All that
• 52:37
  Speaker 7: flight is in the air, it'll be here in four minutes.
• 52:41
  Speaker 7: Much better than speaking to a human being.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Well, but sometimes AI get things very wrong. You know,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: if your Google or AI, somebody.
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: You go, I'm not talking about I'm not talking about
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: Googling AI. I'm talking about I called up an eight
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: of one hundred number of the carrier and the AI answered,
• 53:01
  Speaker 7: And it's a very simple thing. They're listening to your
• 53:03
  Speaker 7: voice commands and everything was okay as far as I
• 53:08
  Speaker 7: was concerned. They got it right, Mark.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Instead of that, why don't you get I'm looking for
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: it on my phone. There's a great app. I think
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: it's called flight Tracker. You can look at every flight
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: where it is exactly. You can bring it up on it.
• 53:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I had last year. I had that. A friend
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: sent me that on a screen and I immediately got
• 53:31
  Speaker 7: rid of it. I immediately got rid of it out of
• 53:34
  Speaker 7: my phone. Well, because I don't want stuff like that
• 53:38
  Speaker 7: out of my phone.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's tracking the flights, not you.
• 53:41
  Speaker 7: Well, anyway, that being said, I can't help but wonder
• 53:47
  Speaker 7: who's playing Who are the Iranians playing Trump or his
• 53:51
  Speaker 7: president Trump playing us? With these constant extensions of deceased
• 53:57
  Speaker 7: fire agreement, the latest one is sixty days ceasefire. We
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: have the framework of a possible agreement, but it doesn't
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: include the nukes. As General Jack Keane said on Larry
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: Kudlow's show over the weekend, does anybody think, no matter
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: what deal is inked, that they're gonna live up to it?
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: No?
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: Really, And I'll go as far as saying it was
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: bad enough that the Kebash wasn't put on this wharf
• 54:30
  Speaker 7: for Memorial Day. If this goes past Labor Day, and
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: this thoughts to affect people's heating bills. I don't care
• 54:38
  Speaker 7: how many primaries Trump candidates.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: I know, but give President Trump a chance.
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: All right, well, let's see.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: We gotta go do the news. But all right, all right,
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Trump's the master negotiator. It goes up and down, but
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: in the end he always seems to win. Hey, when
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: we come back, Bill O'Reilly's not here. He's actually in Ireland.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: He'll be back next week. But we'll talk to Ed.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: You want to know how the midterms will go, how
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: these primaries will go, how the elections will go. He's
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: the probably the expert of the world on elections and
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: primaries and midterms. We'll talk to him next on seven
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: to ten WR Mark.
• 55:14
  Speaker 11: Simon Show on sevent ten WR.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Well, let's talk to the Dean himself, Ed Rollins. Nobody's
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: run more campaigns, or more successful campaigns, or worked with
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: more presidents and politicians, and it's great to him with us.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Ed Rollins, how you doing, good.
• 55:32
  Speaker 8: Morning, How are you. Today's a big day for Republicans,
• 55:35
  Speaker 8: the big Texas Texas Senate race primary. The President just
• 55:40
  Speaker 8: endorsed a week ago, but probably will influence the race greatly.
• 55:45
  Speaker 8: With those consequences, we should talk about.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: And what do you think will happen today?
• 55:50
  Speaker 8: I think that Paxton will probably win it. These attorney general.
• 55:55
  Speaker 8: He came a second in the primary before to John
• 55:59
  Speaker 8: Cornyn's a there's a fourth term former leader. Republicans very
• 56:06
  Speaker 8: popular in Washington, but I think the president's endorsement probably
• 56:10
  Speaker 8: makes the difference there. The consequences is though, if Paxton wins,
• 56:15
  Speaker 8: he's got a lot more controversy in his background. His
• 56:18
  Speaker 8: most expensive primary history, over one hundred and sixty five
• 56:21
  Speaker 8: million dollars has already been spent, and it's very in
• 56:23
  Speaker 8: the primary. Probably another three hundred million and four hundred
• 56:26
  Speaker 8: million dollars that we spent by the time this thing
• 56:29
  Speaker 8: is finished, maybe more. I think the critical thing here
• 56:33
  Speaker 8: is the White House political team had better start counting
• 56:37
  Speaker 8: votes because Corner is a very popular guy. He was
• 56:41
  Speaker 8: the deputy leader, and and you now have a couple
• 56:45
  Speaker 8: of these senators who've President's gone it and defeated, and
• 56:49
  Speaker 8: obviously they still get to vote till January third next year.
• 56:53
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, so you know the margins are close, and
• 56:59
  Speaker 8: obviously the President's got a lot of he wants done,
• 57:01
  Speaker 8: including his billion dollar ballroom. So my sense is this
• 57:06
  Speaker 8: one's gonna have consequences either way.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: So in that recent round of endorsements, the president was
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: thirty seven, and oh, did that surprise you that he
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: was so good at that.
• 57:18
  Speaker 8: He's good at picking Republicans in the primaries and particularly
• 57:25
  Speaker 8: in places where independiso get to vote, which is like
• 57:28
  Speaker 8: the last last one or what was the publicly only
• 57:32
  Speaker 8: But there's but there's consequences. I think to a certain
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: extent that the combination of what's going on in the
• 57:38
  Speaker 8: Middle East and what's going on in the sense of
• 57:41
  Speaker 8: domestic politics, this slush run is advocating almost one point
• 57:47
  Speaker 8: eight billion dollars slush run and billion dollars for the
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: ballroom that no one, nobody wants. Nobody anywhere outside of
• 57:55
  Speaker 8: his inner camp wants either one of those things. So
• 57:58
  Speaker 8: I think to a certain extent, they're gonna take a
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: price for them, and they may not get the resources
• 58:02
  Speaker 8: for them. The Senate. The president wants to send a
• 58:05
  Speaker 8: sent on a message sending can easily send a message back,
• 58:08
  Speaker 8: and that's not good for the president rogres.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: So but wait, wait, a minute, I want the ballroom.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: I like the ballroom.
• 58:16
  Speaker 8: Well, it's good. You can take some of your take
• 58:18
  Speaker 8: some of your bonus. You're rich enough to have to
• 58:23
  Speaker 8: make a couple million dollar contribution to a billion dollar Uh.
• 58:26
  Speaker 8: But it's certainly not it's certainly not something that's people
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: see as necessary today.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: And it's a very hard cornic, but you spent a
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: lot of time in the White House. The idea that
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: the big, large presidential gallows are held outside in the
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: lawn and a tent that's kind of cheese.
• 58:43
  Speaker 8: Well, well if they're not. You know, the bottom line
• 58:47
  Speaker 8: is is very few that are held outside. And that's
• 58:49
  Speaker 8: a decision, you know, it is what it is. It's
• 58:54
  Speaker 8: there's other other things that you wanted to have. There's
• 58:57
  Speaker 8: a pension building which is a couple blocks away, is
• 59:00
  Speaker 8: every bit as large as the new ballroom. And I
• 59:03
  Speaker 8: think the reality is, you know, spending a billion dollars
• 59:06
  Speaker 8: plus on a ballroom that the president promised he was
• 59:08
  Speaker 8: going to pay for himself and is not now I'm
• 59:10
  Speaker 8: not going to do that is causing people who are
• 59:13
  Speaker 8: out there struggling to make against meet. It's going to
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: be biggest, it's going to a big issue in every
• 59:20
  Speaker 8: every campaign, I promise you.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's the government. They waste a billion dollars
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: every second on something.
• 59:25
  Speaker 8: But I understand that. But the the premises you're not
• 59:28
  Speaker 8: supposed to be wasting money, premises you're supposed to go
• 59:30
  Speaker 8: in there and and fix those things and not not
• 59:33
  Speaker 8: waste money. And obviously every every poll I've seen that
• 59:37
  Speaker 8: there's there's no support for this ballroom.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: All right, let me try one other argument. If you're
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: going to build a ballroom, why not do it when
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: you're president happens to be an expert at building ballrooms,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: He's done it all over the world.
• 59:48
  Speaker 8: You'll never have the realities. Well, if you want to
• 59:53
  Speaker 8: build hotels around the world and the price is also
• 59:55
  Speaker 8: an expert hearing that that's it's the worst environ meant
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 8: to try and do this. So I'm telling you it's
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 8: don't underestimate. I mean, if you talk to anybody out
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 8: around the country that this is this is one of
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 8: the key issues, and it would be a gigantic issue
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 8: in this campaign.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you one more thing, spending. You've spent
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: so much time in the White House, the Rose Garden,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: It's much better now with the beautiful patio than the grass.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 8: Some people think that. Some people like the old rose,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 8: so you know, I'm going to some people think so,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 8: some people who think the changes in the White House
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 8: are great. Some people think it's all very tacky. So,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 8: but I think right now people would rather have their
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 8: money being spent on things that obviously, UH, keep taxes
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 8: lower and basically keep keep ordinary people more in line
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 8: with the President's focus on I think people getting tired
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 8: of the Middle East paddles they're talking about in the Cuba,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 8: talk of getting in the Greenland and all that kind
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 8: of stuff. Focus on getting this thing fixed and get
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 8: this economy moving positively towards Americans is a much better issue.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 8: I would hate to be I have to run campaigns
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 8: all over this country, uh, Congressional and Senate, presidential. I
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 8: would hate to be out there defending these things. Uh.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 8: I think it puts this as fast as the president
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 8: is the communicator, it's going to why waste his time
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 8: based basically he's not going to be there where the
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 8: ball and was finished, and there's certainly no demand by
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 8: any of the candidates. UH.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 7: Argument I.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 8: Pended to put more billionaires in the in the ballroom.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: One more question. You've spent a million hours in the
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Oval office. When you see it now, with five million
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: paintings all over every inch of the wall, and that gold,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: gold ornate gold, every it is a little too much,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: isn't it.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 8: It's tacky. I mean I every time I watch it,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 8: I get the writing of a holiday and a holiday in,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 8: and then that renders the holiday in. But it's just
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 8: not it's you know, it's a very special place. And
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 8: I think, to a certain extent, this is what the
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 8: president I used to do. Obviously, I'm sure walks in
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 8: every room he's ever in and says I could fix
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 8: this or I could fix that. But there's too many.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 8: It's every time I see it, there's a new gold
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 8: something or other somewhere, new trophy, and and it's a
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 8: certain extent that's not it's it's a it's a very
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 8: special place and and historically it needs to be created
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 8: as a special place.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: All right, Well you tell him. I'm not going to
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: tell him, but uh uh hey, let me ask you this.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: Uh there's some Democratic candidate. You've got this guy Platiner
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: in Maine, big Nazi tattoo right on his chest, a
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: history of saying the most disgusting things of how what
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: happened that they're now going with candidates like this and
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: they're all.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 8: Back in them. Well, he's a big personality, it's it's
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 8: a race has become competitive. He's kind of an unknown
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 8: guy and he's he's now become a very popular candidate
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 8: and to a certain extent. Uh, you know, how do
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 8: we get the mayor of New York? He doesn't have it,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 8: He doesn't have a tattoo on a ship. It doesn't matter.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 8: You know, Socialists is across his forehead. And you know,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 8: you and I a year ago and never thought he
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 8: had been elected. So there's a lot of strange candidates
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 8: out there that there's a lot of disaffection for the
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 8: establishment and the Republican establishments, particularly so identified hard and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 8: this thing is going to be a knockdown, drag out collection.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 8: I do think the president has got tremendous resources money wise,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 8: and if they spend it well, they may make it
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 8: better than people anticipate today. But that's certainly holding the
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 8: House and now the Senate being in play is not
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 8: what you want the last two years of the administration.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen it like this bad way? Any
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: party is so far extremist to the Democrats, so far left.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen that before in any era?
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Not my air?
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 8: And certainly I go back fifty years and I studied
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 8: history and I've taught courses, so I pretty much know
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 8: the political world for a long time, from at least
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 8: the history perspectives. And I think to a certain extent,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 8: this presidence of a different personality. He's, uh, he's bigger
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 8: than my personality, you know. And I think to a
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 8: certain extent, some people life and some people don't. You know,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 8: the worst polling numbers of any president in modern history,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 8: and he's he's got someone has to count, you know,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 8: the bottom line, and you're not gonna win here if
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 8: not just Republicans and they're starting to be a little
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 8: anger there. But the independence are plurality of voters today.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 8: Independence were a big part of his his nomination and
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 8: his win, and I think to a certain extent they
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 8: got to get those independence back.
• 1:04:35

• 1:04:45

  Speaker 1: It's remember it's it's not Monday, it's Tuesday. Today's Tuesday.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: But everybody's back today. Sean Hannity, that most listened to
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: radio show in the world, also back at everybody's back.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: And you know, Curtis is now here. You can hear
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: Curtis Leewa every morning six to ten right here on
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: seven ten.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 12: W r.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a beautiful week. It's gonna be sunny
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: like eighty today. It's gonna be like this all week
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: and through the weekend unless the weather forecast changes. But
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: right now for the next six seven days, absolutely beautiful,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: perfect weather. I guess that makes up for Memorial Day weekend.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: So hey, Don Junior, Donald Trump Junior got married over
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: the weekend to Bettina Anderson. Tiny ceremony. It's just forty people,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: mostly family, you know, brother, sister, siblings, they're kids. But
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: right there, that's forty people. But President Trump did not
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: attend the wedding. He was in New York on Friday,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: Rockland County speaking and then today had to go back
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: to He was supposed to go to Bedminster for the weekend,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: but that changed because of the Iran situation, although I
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: think it also changed because they saw the weather forecasting.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: It was a pouring rain all weekend. There could be
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: no golf. So with no golf, what's the point of Bedminster.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's the other reason he went back. But
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: I love he was well. I guess because of Ran
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: he couldn't go to Don Junior's wedding. Yeah, but from
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: what I hear, nobody is too thrilled with this wife
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: he's marrying. But Tina Anderson, I mean, he's even in
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach, kind of a questionable character. They're not exactly
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: thrilled that he's marrying her. That might be another reason
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: he didn't get to the wedding. Anyway, we're out of time,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: but I'm back every day ten to noon, and don't forget.
