• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Sale now on only at Kildair Village. See Kildare Village
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: dot com for TSMC's I.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Gotta tell you lately, I've been really into these out
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of state races. That's what you know, you're really getting
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: serious about this job. I never cared before. The only
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: race I cared about was Trump. But cities and you
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: know congress people, I never cared. But right now I'm
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: rooting so hard for Tommy Tuboville to be the next
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: governor of Alabama. I rooted my ass off for that
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: anti semi jerkoff Thomas Masci to lose, which he did
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: in Kentucky. I routed against Bocassidy, and I'm rooting in
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a big way for obviously Alex Sadan in Jersey, but
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Spencer Pratt, Like I really want Pratt to make it
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday. He doesn't win the election, but he gets
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: there if he's one of the final two. Same thing
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: with Steve Hilton for governor. So I'm PONDI myself really
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: caught up in these California races and rooting really hard.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I don't want California. My friends. Tell Escbata was on
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: a couple of days ago. She said, it's worse here
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: than in New York. She's in both places quite a bit.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: She said, Sit, it's worse here. There's more homeless in
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles. It's brutal. I said, how could it be worse.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: We've got Mom, Donnie and Hogle. She said, we've got
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Bason Newsom. It's worse. So let's go Pratt, Let's go Hilton.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I know, Kat mcfallan, the genius four different presidents, most
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: recently President Trump boxed news a bunch of times every
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: week on this show, every Friday. I know you're paying
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: close attention to California.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, And the reason I've been so impressed not
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: only with the you know, everybody's been impressed with the
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: videos and the viral ads and stuff. But Brian killed me, said,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: you know, she said, we go listen to his interview
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: with Joe Rogan. There's a three hour interview, and Spencer
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Pratt talks to Joe Rogan for three hours, and he
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: talks very specifically about what's wrong with the fire department,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: what's wrong with the palisades, what's wrong with the fire,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Why did it happen? Why were the reservoirs empty when
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: they needed them, when they knew there would be fires?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: And then Spencer Pratt talks in very specific terms about
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the homeless problem in Los Angeles. He says, it's not
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: a homeless problem, it's a drug problem, and then goes
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: through the fixes he would make. So the reason I
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: want you to look at that race and watch what
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: happens is because you like a Spencer Pratt, like a
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, like a Ronald Reagan. Means, you know, Ronald
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Reagan and Donald Trump, the two most successful presidents and
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: certainly in my lifetime, and two of the most successful
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: presidents in American history. They're not politicians. They did something else.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: They did something else before, and they were very successful
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: at it, and so they came to the job with
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: a very different attitude, a very different approach. That's why
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I like Spencer Pratt. He's never done politics, but he's
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: got a lot of common sense and he's done an
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: enormous amount of research and he has a plan, and
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: that's why I think that you ought to take it
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: all serious, look at really seriously, because you know New York.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: You have a plan, and you've got to be articulate
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: about the plan, which you're very capable of doing. That's
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the kind of person who changes the country. It's a
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan, it's a Donald Trump. It's somebody who's not
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: part of group think.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: It's an honor that you put me in the same
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: sentence as I'm being hon especially you KT, because I've
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: been a fan of yours for thirty years literally, so
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: thank you. That meant a lot to me. And I
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: think you're right. I think you know, maybe not me,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: but certainly people like Trump and Reagan and Spencer Pratte
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: when they're not lifelong politicians and they're just common sense
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: successful business men. Pratt happens to be a reality star,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: which is funny. But I think we're going to see
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: more and more people like that have great success. Look
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: at Tommy Tuberville. I just mentioned him. I wanted to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: be the next governor of Allabama. Well, it's a football coach,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: great football coach.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: He's awesome, and he's an awesome I mean I've met
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: him a number of times and briefed him. He's terrific.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: He's really smart, but he has a gut feeling about
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: issues and he sticks with it. And he is fearless. Yes,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: that's the great thing about great leaders. They're fearless. They
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: don't care if the mob is screaming against them. They're
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: going to do what they believe is right, and then
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: they're going to convince you why they think it's right,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: and then they're going to do it, and then they're
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: going to succeed.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Well, they'll either convince you or they'll continue to do
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: it and not care. Like President Trump of the Iran,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: he has not convinced everybody, not even close. And we
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: have the same conversation every week. And it's only because
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I talk to a lot of people. I go to events,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: people taught to me in the street. I am social
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: media and they go I love Trump too. But if
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I get one more message that says I love Trump too,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: but okay, and I don't do that. I stick by
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the President and whatever he does, I'm with him. I
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: don't love everything. I don't, but a lot of those
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: messages I love Trump, but especially with the run, I
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: keep telling people, Oh, it's gonna be great, prices are
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: gonna come down, and they're like, shid, we've been hearing
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: this for months. Okay, we don't want to hear it anymore.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: We want to see it. And that is the dilemma
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: we are stuck in right now. Another sees for our extension,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: they're talking about maybe another sixty days. And for all
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the folks who tell me the Pentagon a few, a few,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: that we're stuck, that's why we want all these extensions,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: because we really can't make a move at this point.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It's like a chess game. We're gonna kill a lot
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: of people, right that's what we'll do if we actually
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: send troops on the ground to get that in which uranium,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: if we really bomb Teyran the way we want to
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: with a straight So this is a chess game, and
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks right now, I think we're stuck,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: not winning, stuck.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think we're stuck. I don't think we've won.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I think we're set up for success. But how does
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: let success get defined to regime change? Where we forcibly
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: change the regime, where we kill all the malaves, kill
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: all the IRGC. Then we're stuck with the country that
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: we shouldn't be stuck governing. They shouldn't govern themselves. They're
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: one of the smartest people in the world, ninety three
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: million people, Internet savvy, smart guys been suppressed by the
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: IRGC and the Mallas. Let them govern themselves, but you
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: have to help them to that. I mean to me,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: the best thing that could happen is but there's a
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: slow rolling coup that we get a nuclear deal. The
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Mallas are greatly weakened, the IRGC is defanged. We are
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: empowering the people who want to do business with the
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: United States. The United States goes in and develops the
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: energy industry, which has been completely abandoned and ignored by
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Iran except as a cash machine, and then you have
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the Iranian people take over slowly. That is a possibility.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Is that a strong possibility? We don't know yet. One
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: thing we don't want to do is have Iran Fanastan
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: reducts or Iraq reducts where we get bit of everybody,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: and then we then have to be an occupying forests
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: and the governing forests, and we're worried about the water
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: filtration systems. That's not our job. Our job is to
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: set it up so the Iranian people can take it
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: over themselves. Meanwhile, open the Strait of Hormuz, get rid
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: of the nukes, and have a mechanism whereby you are
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: sure that you have to not just to make these agreements.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: You know, Ron says, oh, we're not going to develop
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: nuclear weapons. We don't believe them. But you have to
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: verify it. And so we have to figure out how
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: to verify it. Maybe that's to take a small number
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: of people to go in on the ground. Maybe it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to go with other countries to go find out all
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: the stuff that's buried under the rubble. How do we
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: get our hands on it. How do we make sure
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: that it's not something that Iran can keep and then
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: can use eventually for a nuclear weapon. And then we
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: have to have the enforcement capability. The problem with the
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Iran nuclear deal one one of the many problems with
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the fail flawed around nuclear deal at President Obamas because
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: there was no enforcement. They could break their they could
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: break their word and nobody could do anything about they did,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: and they did, they did time and time again. And
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: what how is our solution? We pretended they didn't.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Of course, no, you have to I told you I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: had a good buddy. His name was Ben Weenthal. He
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: wrote with the Jerusalem Post. He spent his time between
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Berlin or Munich, I forget and Israel, and he would
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: DM me on Instagram and go up they found more uranium,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: or they found more of this and more of that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: And I think he did it fifty four times in
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: year one. So I bought him on the air all
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the time. He'd say, sit on the air in Florida.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Nobody was listening. But he would tell me time and
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: time again, with proof, with proof, that Iran was not
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: paying attention. And like you said, Obama and Kerry, they
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: acted like they didn't know about it. They knew about it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I don't move over to one New York. You're a
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: great New Yorker and your pro Israel, and I have
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to tell you that when I meet a person who's
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Christian or not Jewish on the pro Israel really makes
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: my heart warm. It's too easy for the Jews to
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: be promish real even though a lot of Jews are not.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I am really warmed by folks that are not. Because
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I keep saying that if we're gonna win this battle,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: which we're losing. Now we're losing. If we're gonna win,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: we need the Christian people to be with us. At
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: most are most are I know you are when you
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: see this mayor decide not to come to this parade
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: on Sunday, and he has the nerve to blame Israel.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Like I said earlier, Kat, I'm not asking mom Donnie
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: to go martching a parade in Tel Aviv.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not asking mom Donnie to go marching a parade
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: in Jerusalem. I get it. This is on Fifth Avenue
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: in New York City, right, all the Jews, and he
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: claims right, and he claims, I'm the mayor for everybody.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I love my Jewish New Yorkers. Well, Moron, this parade
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: is a parade for Jewish New Yorkers. It's not in
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: hyper So what's his real excuse, Well, it's.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: The excuse that a lot of people have seized JN
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: it's anti Semitism. And another it's oh I'm anti Zionism.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm anti Israel. I think Israel's done terrible things
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: in the Middle East, the pro Palestinian people. It's just
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: a front and a guy's an acceptable excuse for being
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: anti Semitic. I think it's just anti semitism.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: That's all it is.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: In Europe, it's all it is, anti Semitism. Because if
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: it wasn't anti semitism, he'd be marching in that parade.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: He'd be marching in the you know, the Saint Patrick's
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Seek Parade, the Columbus Date Parade, the Jewish American Parade.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, he would be marching in all his parades
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: because that's New York. It's a melting pot. But not
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: for him. It's a melting pot for everybody but Israel,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Israel and the Jews, that's right.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: And he did launch. He did munch in the Saint
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Patrick's Date Parade. I was standing out there when him
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: and Jessica Tish walked right by me. But you may
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: remember what allows this guy is that he used Saint
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Patrick's Dale, Okay, Saint Patrick's he used that morning to
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: pump up his Muslim religion. He did a whole speech
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: about the Muslims from City Hall the day of Saint
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Patrick's Day. You remember that, yep?
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: And then let me just ask you, if you were
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: mayor in New York, and you know there are a
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: lot of Steffs, you got to get to before you
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: would be to that point. But you have the raw
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: material and the ability to do it. And as you know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: as Brian Keilly said, keep your radio show going, you
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: have a platform un wished to do it. If there
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: was a Muslim American parade, would you mertion.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: That in one hundred in a second? In one second.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I make this point all the time. I've got nothing
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: against the Muslim people. My issue is radical Islam, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: this mayor is one hundred percent radical Islam. When you
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: support the face of campus terrorism like Mahmoud Khalil, who
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: should be deported, that's not just any Muslim guy, that's
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: radical Islam. When you talk about the Jews as being gedicidal,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: that's radical Islam. I have no issue with the Muslim people.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I've marched with them in a heartbeat. None. I've said
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: this time and time again. I'm still called in Islamophobia. Fine,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: but the truth is no, I have no issue with
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: the Muslim people. My issue is radical Islam, and this
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: mayor is a radical Islamist bottom line.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and so he's not going to march in Israeli parade.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I mean in a Jewish American or a rarely parade,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: and you would march in a Muslim parade. That's just
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: says it right there, right there.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: And Paul de Jacomo, who's a great guy, used to
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: run the DEEAKT, which is not drugs it was, It
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: is the Detective Endowment Association. He says. The farther reason
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: why he's not marching is he's afraid his wife is
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: going to kick his ass. And if that's true, that's
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: not good either because we already know his wife is
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: a vile, wretched anti Semite. Either way, he's got no excuse. Again,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: this parade is not in Israel, it's on Fifth Avenue.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Who Jewish people voted for you? I hate them, but
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: they did. You should be there for them. Bottom line,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: what are you doing this weekend? I think fun.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Actually, I'm in Sarah, I'm in Tallahassee right now with
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: my daughter. They're voting on the Florida budget and then
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: they're going to be discussing Destatus's proposal to to eliminate,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: at least to reduce and eventually eliminate property taxes for
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Florida state residence and their primary residence. So exciting, that
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: is amazing.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I'm you know, it's said that I know that Trump
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: and DeSantis are not best buddies. They're still not trust me,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: there's still not but no, but no one can argue
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: that Ron DeSantis is a great governor and has done
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: an amazing job. So does it look like your daughter
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: would know this too? Does it look like Byron Donald's
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: might be the next governor?
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Oh? I think one hundred percent. My daughter repors. State
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Representative Fiona McFarland was the first person in Florida to
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: endorse him.
• 13:37
