  Speaker 2: the hell's the Lost Boys? I don't even know what
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: it is, but it's got a lot of a lot
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: of nominations all over the place. So hey, tonight the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Rose Garden Club opens. That's the Rose Garden at the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: White House. The President. It was just grass, you know,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: And for years they do a ceremony. In the rose garden,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: it's grass, and then you know, three hundred people would
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: trample on the grass and it was a mess afterwards,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: or they'd want to do something in the rose garden.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: It had rained the day before, so it was muddy
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and the ground was a mess. So President Trump, if
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you read the fake, he paved over the rose garden.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And he didn't pave over it. He brought in the
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: finest marble granite, and he built a beautiful patio. So
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: instead of just grass, it's a beautiful patio. It's absolutely stunning,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: every detail of it. And you know, if you do
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: this really well, it means he's a great builder. If
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you really know what you're doing, if you're not the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: government and you're actually a great builder. You put in
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of drains all over the place, so that way,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: no matter how hard it rains, it's clean. And if
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: you look at the drains, there's these beautiful white drains
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that match the granite. But if you don't look at him,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you know has all the slats in him. The slats
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: are all the whole thing is. The drain is in
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the shape of an American flag. You don't notice something
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you get up close and really look at him. But
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: every little detail is perfect. And then they have these
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: great chairs and tables, really elegant looking, beautiful umbrellas, beautiful lights,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and they turned it into probably the most beautiful outdoor
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: cafe in America. They can put a lot of people
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: in there. So President Trump, when he does the State dinner,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you can do in the East Room, but we are
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: doing something a little more informal. He does these outside
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: dinators dinners with members of Congress and all sorts of
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: So the first one is tonight. It's going to be
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a nice, warm night in DC, so it'll be the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: first Rose Garden Club dinner tonight. Check out the pictures
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: of it. You'll be very impressed with how it looks.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: It's really really nice. You remember talking about crazy Chuck Schumer.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: This guy will say anything. He has no beliefs in anything,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: no principles, nothing. It just takes care of his donors
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: all day. But on the weekend he'll do his fake
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: press conference. Somebody will type up some issue. He'll read
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: it and you can see never even pre read it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: He doesn't even know it. You can see him turning
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the page with the big, big glasses on trying to
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: read this thing. So this one everybody thought was the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: most hypocritical nonsense. Some people in government are betting on
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the polymarket making a profit. He wants to put a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: stop to it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Now, the people who write our laws are nation secrets
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and command our military should not be able to use
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the prediction markets to wager on the outcomes of their
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: own work. Prediction markets have exploded over the last few years,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and we must never allow Congress to turn into a casino.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: No, he read this and as soon as he finished,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: he ran like a thief. He just ran the hell
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: out of there, because every reporter the same question. Well,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: then what about the insider trading you talk about making
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: a profit off their work, off what they know. You
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: can't bet on a poly market, but you're allowed to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: insider trade on the stock market. Well, Schumer just ran
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and hid, and it's the most hypocritical thing in the world.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not disagreeing with it on this, but then ban
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: insider trading. As long as you're serving in Congress. You're
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: not allowed to buy and sell stocks with inside information
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: based on your work. It's the same exact thing. It's
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the poly market. The only difference at the docks is
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you can make a lot more money. That's how people
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: on a government salary like Pelosi end up leaving worth
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: seven hundred million. You know some of these senators that
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: they're making one hundred and fifty thousand a year. Next thing,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: you know, they're worth forty million, one hundred million, all
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: from the insider trading. But Schumer refuses to answer that question.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: He's in hiding. You will not see him until people
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: forget about that question. So crazy mom, Donnie is protesting,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: he's against ICE, he doesn't want to help ICE. Hockel
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: is going along with him. It's absolutely crazy.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: We are going to continue to actively examine what our
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: response protocols are when ICE is present, to ensure that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we're handling the situations appropriately and we're doing so in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a manner that's consistent with our local laws and our
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: values as a city.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: His values is don't help ICE. His values is have
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the illegals run all over the place.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: As I've made very clear that our laws leave nothing
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: no room for interpretation about the fact that our NYPD
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: will not participate in civil immigration enforcement. And I've also
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: been very clear about my views on ICE raids as
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a whole. I think that they are cruel. I think
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that they are inhumane. I think that they do not
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: serve any interest of public safety.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Well, of course they do, because most of the ice
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: rads are criminals, gang members, criminals that they're trying to apprehend.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: They're here illegally. They're trying to get them out. They've
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: broken the law just coming here, and then they've broken
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the law all over the place here in some cases killing, robbing, raping. Obviously,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you want to get him out here, but not crazy mom,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Donnie so Hey, they asked him about Giuliani. Now, if
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: you are the mayor of New York, when it comes
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to the greatest mayor of New York ever had, by far,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I mean the greatest mayor ever in New York, when
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: you want to talk to him, when you have questions
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: for him, when you want to get some guidance from him.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: If you became a New York Yankee and they're in
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the clubhouse or in the owner's suite, watch there was
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Joe Demago or Mickey Mantle or any of those crazy,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: wouldn't you want to go ask them things, talk to them. Nope.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Not if your mom, Donnie, you can't stand them. You know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Eric Adams used to call up Bloomberg all the time
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to ask him questions, and anybody with half of brains,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the first thing you would do. You become the mayor,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and you call the greatest mayors ever and you'd ask
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: them questions. You know, it comes to crime. You came
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the mayor of New York. When you call Ray Kelly,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: he's a nice guy. He'll help you out. When you say,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: could we have lunch? Could I talk to you? Could
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I come see you? I'd like to ask you think.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, the guy's the greatest expert in the world
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: on how to fight crime in New York, how to
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: be the police commission. When you ask him some stuff,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: it's only logical. So the reporters did ask Mom Donnie
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: about Rudy Giuliani. He's better today. He's still not out
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: of the woods, but he's turned a corner. He had
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: been in a coma on a ventilator. A priest had
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: given him his last rites. He's out of the coma yesterday.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: He's now off the vent till later. It's looking better.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: But yesterday the reporter asked him about de Rudy Giuliani.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I think he'd like to say about his contribution to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the city, of the fact that he got the city
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: through nine to eleven. Well, I think former Mayor Giuliani
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: is someone that we as New Yorkers know well and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: he's been a fixture in our cities politics and public
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: life for so many years. And I know that many
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: New Yorkers are concerned by the reports that he's in
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: critical condition.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: He can't say, yeah, he was the greatest mayor ever
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: in New York. Yeah he did clean up crime. Yeah,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: he was an unbelievable hero in nine to eleven. Yeah
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: he did help the city come back from He can't
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: say it. He can't. Did you hear that answer? Well,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: we know him well, he is a fixture. Can't say
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: anything good about him. This crazy mom Donnie who does
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: not follow the science. And that's one thing about Democrats.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: They do not follow the science for crime fighting. There's
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: an actual science. There's things that we know work, things
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: that we know don't work, and we've scientifically tested them.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: We've tested them thousands of times in hundreds of cities,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: and we know what works and one doesn't work. But
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie doesn't follow that. Now, speaking of crime, you
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: get these crazy left wing das and you got these
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: crazy left wing judges. You had one yesterday actually apologized
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: to the presidential assassin Cole Allen, the White House Correspondents
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: dinner shooter. Apparently in jail, they put him in solitary
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: and at one point they put him on suicide watch.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: The jail said, well, if you read his manifesto, he
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: says something about you know, this is it, It's over
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: for me. It sounded like a suicide note, so they
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: put him on suicide watch. Well, he was back in
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: court yesterday and this crazy left wing judge. US magistrate
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Judge Zia M. Farque told Cole Allan she actually apologized
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: to him. She said, I'm so sorry about the way
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: you've retreated. There was no reason for you to be
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: put in solitary. I'm sorry. The conditions were harsh in
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the jail. It's jail. It's supposed to be harsh. What's
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: more harsh than the jail. But Tony Towns, he's a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: lawyer for the DC lockup, said they did ongoing psych
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: exams and they made the decision that the medical staff
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: to put him on suicide watch. But the judge apologized
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: to him. His lawyer said one time he was put
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: in a padded cell what amounted to twenty four hour lockdown.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: It's jail. Yeah, so the judge kept apologizing and apologizing.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Why he said he wasn't even allowed to have a bible.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: The judge said, it just doesn't add up. As he noticed,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: he noted people convicted of more serious crimes were held
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: in less restrictive conditions. What's more serious than trying to
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: assassinate the president of the United States? What's more serious
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: than trying to open fire on a ballroom filled with
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: cabinet officials. So again, crazy left wing judges everywhere. Stephen Colbert,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the show is going off the air finally is it
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: later this month? He's planning, apparently some sort of emotional Farewell.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Now the question is when he goes, what's gonna come on? Well,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: they're gonna do a game show with Byron Allen. It's
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: a pretty good game show, but it's really just a
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: copy of Hollywood Squares, And then they're gonna do a
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: copy of Gutfeld. It's going to be a bunch of
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: comedians roundtable. But according to Byron Allen, they will not
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: talk about the news. They'll just talk about other topics,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: which is smart because then it won't get outdated. It'll
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: always be usable. You could rerun this stuff forever. Now,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: what happens to the ed Sullivan Theater. This stuff is
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: all being done in California, So you're gonna have a
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: big empty Ed Sullivan Theater that CBS bought years ago
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: and spent a fortune and renovating for David Letterman. But
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: what happens to it? Well, the Ed Sullivan Theater experts
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: say if you just put it on the market, it
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: could fetch up to ninety million dollars. It's possible you
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: could restore it to a Broadway theater because originally it
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: was a fifteen hundred seat Broadway theater and could be
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: put back that way, but be a costly renovation to
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: restore all that paramount's. CBS well, they could use it
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: for live theatrical productions if they want to produce shows there,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: but they're doing less and less stuff, so I doubt
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: they're going to do anything with it. James Dolan. The
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden has apparently shown some interest in buying
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the theater turning it into a venue. But if you
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: want to turn it back to a Broadway theater. Just
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: make it a legitimate Old Broadway theater. Apparently, the Neederlanders,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: the Schubert Organization, and others have shown some interest, so
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: expect one of those things to to happen. Hey, Ron
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: DeSantis is indicating making moves like he wants to be
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: a presidential candidate in twenty twenty eight. Now, obviously, you
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: know he's run for president before. He's been a great,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: a phenomenal governor of Florida. He's been the best governor
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: in America. He's outstanding as a governor. He stinks as
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: a presidential candidate. He all has. He has another problem.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: It's a big problem behind the scenes. He's the nastiest
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: guy in the world, and it's just nasty to anybody
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: and everybody, everybody in the RNC, everybody in Trump world,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: anybody who runs into He's just privately nasty to everybody.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know why it is. I have no idea
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: why he does it. Nobody's been able to talk to
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: him about it. It's a big, big problem for him
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes. That's one problem. The other problem is
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: just as a candidate, he's not much of a personality.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: He's kind of a cold fish. As a speak baker
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: as a guest on a show. He has kind of
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: a weird voice, and where's those crazy cowboy boots? And
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: so that's the problem. And again he's been so nasty.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Even his own donors, even his big donors, he's nasty
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: to them. I mean, they tell stories about how they
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: know they write him a massive check and then they
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: can't get him on the phone. He runs into him,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: he won't say hello. He's just I don't know why
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: he does it. But that's a big problem. He's leaving
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: his Florida governor. Term limits have ended his governorship. So
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: he's been lobbying and had people lobbying behind the scenes
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: to get him a cabinet post with the Trump administration.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: But but nobody wants him in the cabinet because he's
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: so difficult to work with him. He's so nasty. He's
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: a great governor, but I don't think he's a good
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: employee on a team. And Trump wants to do something
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: for him. He's been very helpful to Trump with the
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: stuff in Miami, with the renaming stuff after him the airport.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: He's been very helpful with helping with the Trump Library
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: going to Miami. But so Trump would find him something.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't be in the cabinet, but he'll find him something.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: They have these jobs where they can throw people that
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: mean absolutely nothing. Un Ambassador is one of them. They
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: just get if they know you're a problem and they
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: don't want you around. Like Carrie Lake, who's not as
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: not quite as bad as Desanta's, but she's pretty rough
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: and nobody wants her around behind the scenes. She's pretty rough,
• 16:32
