  Speaker 1: You just heard the news.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Now you'll find out what it all means. Hey smarts
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: alone on seven tenor Hey, it's Monday, but it's a
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: great Monday, because this is gonna be a three day
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: weekend coming up. Memorial Day is coming weekend. We got
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: a lot to get to. You're not gonna believe this.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: The people that run this climate change hoax are confessing
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: admitting it may not be true. We'll get to that.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Coming up. We'll get to President Trump and China, the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: real truth, not the Sunday Show fake news truth. We'll
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: get to pathetic Little Colbert, his final week is here.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: We'll get to twenty twenty eight. We'll get to the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Long Island Railroad strike. Of course, let's get to that
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: first Long Island Railroad on strike. Now, apparently they're back
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: in the negotiations. They had walked out, everybody had walked out,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: but the MTAP people are back in there. MTA run
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: by Janno Lieber, who is just a pompous ass, very
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: very tough to get anything done with. That guy, just
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: an awful guy. He's the guy Hokel put in there. Hokel,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: of course, a total disaster, totally incapable of negotiating anything,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: and it's caused nothing but headaches for hundreds of thousands
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: of people in Long Island who need to get into
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the city. Now some will have to drive. There's these
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: stories like this poor guy who his son is graduating
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and he was going to take the train in to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: be at the graduation. Couldn't do that. He doesn't drive,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: so he had to take an uber for two hundred
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: dollars to get to the graduation. So if you're coming
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: from Long Island or going there, there's going to be
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: a lot more traffic than usual, and there's always a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: lot of traffic in Long Island, it will be even
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: worse because the trains are shut down now. Hokeel does
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: what any good Democrat does when you've caused a major problem,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: when you've sc root up everything, when it's total disaster,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: what are you doing? Your a Democrat? You blame Donald Trump.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is, it's Trump's fault.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: This strike would not have been possible if the Trump
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: administration had not taken the highly unusual step last fall
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: of releasing labor unions for mediation. Unfortunately, for our commuters,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the direct consequence of this action is the strike we
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: have today.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Now, of course that's idiotic. It has nothing to do
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: with that. Mediation. You can't go to mediation means you
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: got to negotiate yourself. And she's totally incapable of negotiating.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: She doesn't know what the hell she's doing. Jano Lieber
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: is just a disaster. So Trump responded to all of this,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: this stupid accusation by saying, this is all your fault.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: You should have had this settled before the strike even came.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Why did you wait till they're on strike. You should
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: have settled this long ago. And he said, if you
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: want me to come in and fix this for you,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I will. Of course, he's a master negotiator with unions.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: He spent his whole life negotiating with unions right here
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: in New York. That's what he's been doing for forty years.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: So he said, over and over, you want me to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: come in and settle this for you, I'll settle it
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: for you. Just ask me. I'll come negotiate it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Of course she can't do that because it would be
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: humiliating for her. So they're spending all kinds of money
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: setting up buses to bring people, and the buses that
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: don't really bring you to Manhattan. They bring you to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the closest subway stop in Queens, So if you're in
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Long Island you could take these buses.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Starting at four am tomorrow, the MTA will deploy shuttle
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: buses to bring essential workers from across Long Island to
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: subway stations and Queens and those shuttle buses will be
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: standing by to bring those essential workers back home to
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Long Island at the end of the day.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going of course, this is just ridiculous. Now
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the MTA. Now, one reason the MTA is being really
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: strong and tough in this negotiation is this is coming
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: up next in a little while, is the subway workers.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: That's the big strike if they go on strikes. So
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: they're being very careful here both sides about what happens
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: here because this will set the template for everything else.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And that subway contract is the big one. That's a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: lot of people, so they can there. Everybody's pushing to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: get what they want here, to set the standard for
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the subway contract. Now, a lot of people will pointed
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: out if you got this this strike and everybody's going
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to drive in, suspend the congestion pricing, just halt the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: congestion pricing for a while. Now Hockel makes the idiotic statement,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: nobody can figure out if you can't just shut it off,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and you can't just turn it on and turn it off,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: which makes no sense at all. It's a whole electronic system.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: You can just hit stop and then when the strike's over,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you can hit start. Obviously, obviously you can turn it
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: on and turn it off. How do you think it
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: got on? They turned it on, but Hochel a total disaster.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I did not want to strike. The MTA did not
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: want to strike. The MTA has put fair offers on
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the table, in fact, many of them.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not working now, Bruce Blakeman, of course
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: something Hochel. Some theorized Hochele might have done this deliberately
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to screw up Nassau County, Suffolk County, that's Blakeman territory.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Maybe to make all the voters mad. But I don't
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: get that at all. He's gonna make a mad at
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Hochel and Blakeman, the voice of reason.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: What we have here in New York State is a
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: complete failure of leadership. I want you to think about this.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: This is the first strike of railroad workers. In thirty years,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: both Republican and Democrat administrations had labor peace with our workers.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you get it done way ahead of time. Now,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the problem is Hochel is just a bird brain, doesn't
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: know what the hell she's doing. Janno Lieber is not stupid,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: but he's just again a papa's ass, a very annoying guy.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Nobody can Nobody can deal with it. If Blakeman were there,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: everything would have been different.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Kathy Hochel gave eight billion dollars of our time, pay
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: her money to legal migrants, but she doesn't have money
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: for our workers, the people who service the commuters of
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: the Long Island Railroad. So now we'll have three hundred
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: thousand plus people completely inconvenienced because of the incompetency of
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Kathy Hokeel.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point. You know, she keeps on
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the money. We don't have any money. Just gave billions
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and billions and billions to illegals, not even citizens, just
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: illegals who broke in the country. Gave them a fortune.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: So well, we'll get back to the strike now Texas, well,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: we'll get to that later. But China, it was considered
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: by most experts I mean, real experts to be a
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: very successful trip on the part of Donald Trump. He
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: got along better with shijiping than anybody else ever has. Now,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: if you watch the Sunday Shows, if you read the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: New York Times, if you watch ms NOW, if you
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: watch CNN, it was a disaster. Trump caved in on everything.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: He looked pathetic, he looked like a beggar. Yeah, none
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: of that's true. Every real expert says, they'll say that
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: they don't know if there were any specific actual returns
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: we'll get out of this. But it went very well. Now,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: as far as you know, we're just over there hat
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: in hand, on our knees, begging. It's just the opposite.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: The actual truth is. The actual truth is our economy
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: is seven times bigger than China's. Our economy is really strong.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: That's why you see the stock market soaring. China's economy
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: is on a cliff. It's just teetering. Same thing happened
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: in Japan years ago. Remember Japan had a boom like
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you've never seen. I mean, the economy was unbelievable. Remember
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: they came to this back in the eighties. It came
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: to New York and they had so much money. They
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: were buying up everything. Remember back then, the Japanese bought
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Rockefeller Center, the Japanese bought this lamb. Everything in the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: world was being bought by the Japanese. Well, it took
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: off so fast that economy that it then went over
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the cliff and crashed. China is getting near that point now.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: They're better at managing it because they're communists. They can
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: totally control the economy. But the last fifteen years have
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: been kind of rough for the Chinese economy and they've
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: needed to fix their economy. They need to adjust their
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: whole economic model. They cut back on the exporting. They're
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: going to have to go back to that. So it's
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: not a strong economy right now. We did no. It's
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: an interesting thing. You know, when you go over there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you can't bring your phone, you can't bring your computer,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: you can't bring your tablet, you can't bring any devices
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: because the Chinese will hack into them, spy on everything,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: suck all the data out of your stuff. They will
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: then embed the most dangerous software in the world into
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: your phone. So everybody went on that trip, the president,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the cabinet, the staff, the reporters, everybody, all the guests,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: on the plane. Everybody went on an Air Force one
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: had to leave all their devices at home and they
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: had to get burner phones and burner tablets and burner
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: computers to take over there, which they did. The trip
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: was over after a couple of days, they headed back
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to Air Force One to get on the plane. Before
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: they get on the plane, there's big, big garbage cans there,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: big garbage. They have to throw all the devices into
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the garbage cans, leave them in China. Can't bring them
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: back because even those probably got embedded with all kinds
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: of dangerous software. In fact, take a look at my Instagram.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: There's a picture of the president and everybody throwing their
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: phones into this big garbage can on the runway. Just
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: go to Mark Simone NYC at Instagram. It's a great
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: picture disposing of all these burner phones. So now, if
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you watch the pictures, she did things during the summit,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: like he had Trump in a low chair. He put
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: himself in a high chair so he looked taller, little
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: psychological things. But a lot of people took that as
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: indication of real insecurity on she's part, that he had
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: to resort to all that stupid stuff. Now there were
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: some things we agreed on. You know, South Korea has
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the best shipbuilding yards of anybody. They're actually way ahead
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: of us in shipbuilding. So it was talk about us
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: starting to build some of our warships in those South
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Korean shipyards. Now, one of the reasons there's so much better. Besides,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: they're just ahead of us. Where they're located is right
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the supply chain, so everything you
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: need is right there. You don't have to wait for
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: long deliveries. It doesn't cost as much to get it delivered.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: The infrastructure is much more automated. They can produce massive
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: cargo ships faster, more efficiently. So we agreed to start
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: building some of our big ships and our naval ships
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: over there in South Korea. Now, she offered to help
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: in Iran whatever we needed, he would help us with Iran.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Now Trump actually turned him down. You don't want to
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: owe she a favor. But Trump explained.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: That any fun commitments to pressure on the Iritians to
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: reopen the Straightfow movies.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: I'm not asking for this one. You ask for you
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: have to do favors in return. We don't need favors.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: If you're ristic that he will put pressure.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Then he will try and get him to your.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: LASKI to put pressure because I don't need favors. I
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: think he will. I think automatically. He'd like to see
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: it opened up.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so always great to do the interview right by
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the engine of the plane. I can't hear a thing now.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Certain things are going on with Iran. We've got things
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: we've been doing in them quietly. For instance, Scott Bessett,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary, seized five hundred million of their crypto over
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the last few days. We've taken five hundred million from
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: them in crypto. Now we're not taking it. It will
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: go into a fund, and when this is all over,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: it will be returned directly to the Iranian people, not
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: this corrupt regime, but it will go to the good
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: people to take over. After it's all over, we will
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: shut down most of their money, the banks will freeze
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: all their funds everywhere. The other thing is we'll probably
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: go back to combat. Maybe this week you may see
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: a resumption of bombing. There may be more couple of
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: things we want to do. Target wise. They do have
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: railroads that can carry the oil to the coast, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: that oil can be then sent to China. It's not
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: as good as the big cargo tankers because if you
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: do it by rail, it's very, very tiny the quantity
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you can move. So to move the oil by rail
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: means a lot less oil, a lot less revenue. But
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: we will probably bomb those railroads and those tracks and
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: take those out, make sure they're completely cut off. China
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: gets fifty percent of its oil from Iran, so we'll
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: shut down the little that remains of that. Also, there'll
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: be a lot of taken out of a lot of targets,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of infrastructure, a lot of stuff, a lot
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: of bombing, and then I don't know about this is
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: on the table. If they get real serious, they will
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: go in and start to get the nuclear dust, start
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: to move it. That would require some ground troops, but
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: we've already done this before in Iran. In the last
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: two months, we've sent ground troops in twice. Those two
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: rescue operations where we had to rescue the crew members
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: of the aircraft twice, we've sent in ground troops. So
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: you may see that again they will come in. We
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: have all kinds of techniques and specialists who know how
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: to go in, find nuclear material and remove it. We
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: did that in Libya years ago. You remember when Kadafi
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: finally gave up and told us we could take all
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: the nuclear material. We had expert forces that went in
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: there real quick, found the stuff, got it out. Some
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: of it is deeply buried. Even those nuclear reactors we
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: took out last year in that raid, Now that's buried
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: under all that rubble. So I'll take a lot of engineering,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: but they'll start by getting the easy stuff out first.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: We'll be taking a lot of nuclear material. Hey, so
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to coming up. The
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: leader of climate change, you know, the ones that really
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: put out that the whole world, we're all going to die,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: climate change is going to wipe out the plant. All
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: of that. They're now admitting it was the UN Climate
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Committee really was the leadership of all this. They are
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: now admitting. They are now admitting that that scenario is wrong,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that it's simply not true. Nothing like that is going
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: to happen. We'll get into it in detail in the
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: in the next hour. We've got a lot to get to.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin. In a few moments, we'll take some calls.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Next eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: is the number eight hundred three to two one zero
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: seven ten in Mark on Demand by setting up presead
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: for his podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
• 14:49

• 15:25
  Speaker 7: have Irish skin and I passed for swarthy out here.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: All right, that's good. Nobody knows what hell you're talking about?
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: These are well, you know, Foster Brooks Junior here, it's
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: a happy hour. What time? What time is it in Idaho?
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: Well the cheer they put the cheer into back into
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: cheerios about seven am.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's the same. It's a different time zone, right,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: it's like nine thirty there.

• 16:13
  Speaker 7: Michael Wave and junking frozen dinners. That's what.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Well, that's good here. Well you made your point. Nobody
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: knows what hell it is, but you made your point.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Let's go to uh Rich in Myrtle
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Beach Rich. How you doing.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: Wow, that's unbelievable some of these people I had, I
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: had a comment for you that I have a question
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: for you about TV and stuff. You know, my father's
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: ninety nine years old. He did the Long Island Railroad
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: from Lockville Center for thirty seven years. My brother did it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: The MTA and y LI Double R have been ripping
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: off the public for decades and decades. I saw to
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: cover the post this morning. Some of these guys making
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: one hundreds of thousands of dollars in all the time.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: You know, it's just unregulated, unchecked like everything else and go.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: But my question is, when I'm bouncing around Fox News, Newsmax,
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: Fox Business, even some other channels, why does the scene
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: every station goes through commercial at the same time, So
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: you just bouncing between commercials, going between stations.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Well, because believe it or not, there's a whole strategy
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: to when you break for a commercial.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: And they don't want me to look at another channel
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: or something.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: No, it's like we all break it about they're supposed
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: to break it seventeen after. It's too complicated to explain.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: But as far as the ratings, the way they measure them,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: it's by the quarter hour, so you get credit for
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: like one o'clock to one fifteen, that's a quarter hour.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: But if we can keep you two minutes into the
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: next quarter hour, you get credit for another quarter hour.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: So you try to break remember.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: That like everything else.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all complicated. There's a radio science. Remember that
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: news station goes, you give us twenty two minutes, We'll
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: give you the world.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember when I was on WGBD
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: doing my Ficiens show, I made your atron a couple
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: of times, so you had to worry about Well, didn't
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: you ever wonder.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Why why twenty two minutes? Why not twenty when not thirty?
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: It was just the right period to get credit for
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: two quarter hours in the ratings. It's it's a boring
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: technical explanation, but uh, that's why they all break around
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the same time.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: Okay, you know this hole. Well, I can't believe this state.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: This state is gone. These people continue to vote the
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: stupidest people into office, and it's exactly where you get.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: I cannot be happier. We don't live in New York anymore.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Right, don't worry, it's coming to you. Where are you.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: You're in North Carolina, it'll be South Colin.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Don't worry, it's coming to you. It's comedy. All these
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: New Yorkers are moving down there. They'll start to vote
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: these types in.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: You'll it'll unbelievable because they have they vote crazy up
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: in New York. They get sick of it with the
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: high taxes and everything else, and they move somewhere else,
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: into the wed state and start voting for the same
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: super people all the time.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll come to you. It'll come to you, rich,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Yeah. The only good news is this
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: stuff goes in cycles. The cycle could be ten years, twenties.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: But I think the cycle is starting to end. We're
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: seeing it in the latest polls in Great Britain. The
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: wacky left is going to get thrown out. We just
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: saw it in Spain where the socialists are going to
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: get voted out. Sweden is adjusting towards capitalism. You're seeing
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: it all over the place. Look at the La Mayor
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: All race. It looks like the Republican is going to win.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: So we could be at the end of that cycle.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Paul in Rosalind. Paul, how you doing.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, Mark, you were talking to Jimmy Faila the other
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: day Awson's boyhood home. Would you like to know who
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: bought his last home on the water. My wife's boss,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: who she worked with, Sidney Kimmel.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Which home where the one?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: The one in Malibu, the ones he taught forty million dollars.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I know Sidney Kimmel. He bought that house.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Sidney was He was found at Joe's New York.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: It was a gigantic company from Philadelphia. He's a great right,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: that's exactly right. He used to work for Villagers a
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: sales manager, and then he came to New York and
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: opened Joe's New York.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't know he bought that house. So it's a
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: beautiful house in Malibu.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Johnny, right, that's what that's the house he bought
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: for forty one million. And my wife, Harriet was his receptionist.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: And secretary for many years.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard there was other stuff going on.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Too, and anyway, getting I'm kidding it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he's a good guy.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you, it's incredible.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: That house, Johnny Carson's Malibu house is so big when
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: you walk in, the living room was like three stories
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: high and it goes for miles, the biggest living room
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: in fact, Bob Newhart came for a dinner one night
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: and he walked in and looked around this living and goes,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: where's the gift shop. I mean, it just looks like
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: the the Hilton lobby somewhere. It's so big, and it
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: has an incredible tennis facility. Let's go to Neil in Brooklyn. Neil,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: how you doing all right?
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I got a real, a real concern here. What
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: about when they when they throw away.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: Their cell phones to visit China?
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: What about the nuclear football.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. Well, I assume there's nothing in
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: there that could be hacked into. It's unhackable.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: By the way, it's not electronic.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Well that's a very good question. You ask a very
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: good no. Well, you know what I would imagine. I
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: would imagine, just like with the phone, they make up
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: a whole other nuclear football, a second one, just to
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: bring over there, and then when they get back they
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: get rid of it. That's a good point. Yeah, they
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: probably do that with the nuclear football.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: The other thing is when you're on this trip to China,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: they give you all kinds of gifts. They give the
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: president gifts, they give the cabinet members gifts. Everybody gives
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: them gifts. And when they get to the airport, before
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: they're allowed to go on Air Force one, they have
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: to throw away all the gifts because they're probably bugged.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: They're probably loaded with all kinds of spyware in them.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: So yeah, check out my instagram. There's a picture of
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Trump and everybody before they're getting on the plane throwing
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: all their devices into these big garbage cans to get
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: rid of them. It's Mark Simone NYC Instagram. One more call,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike and Nutley. Mike, how you doing.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: It's a long time since I spoke to Mark. There's
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: a golden opportunity for the MTA work has become heroes
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: of New York. Instead of striking for a higher wage increase,
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: what they should be striking for is for taxes to
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: be cut by thirty or forty percent, because if they're
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: allowed to keep more of their own harder money, they're
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: going to need a wage increase.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, you're right. The reason
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: they need their wage increase is Kathy Holchels taxes. She
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: taxed them to death.
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: The real argument though, is the MTA wasts probably two
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: thirds of their money. You know, when they spend a
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: billion dollars, it was really only for something that should
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: have been three hundred million. Actually, it's even worse than that.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: You know, we we spend like two billion a track
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: mile to build subway. It should be like five hundred million.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: We just waste money. We overpay for everything, every part everything,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: we overpay for by like two thousand percent. So most
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: of the money they just waste, absolutely wist. If they
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: actually spend the money legitimately for real cost what it
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: really should be, they'd have plenty of money to pay everybody. Hey,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: when we come back, the greatest columnist in the world,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin. We'll talk to him next on seven to ten,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: wor Mark the Moosa on seventoo. Well, let's talk to
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: the greatest columnist of all. Michael goodwin Is column is
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: in the New York Post every Sunday and every Wednesday,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: and all his columns are up on the New York
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Post website. Michael Goodwin, how you doing, Good morning? Mark?
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Hey. You used to work at the New York Times
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: for a while, and you know that organization. They've always
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: been a pretty antisemitic going back, I mean even in
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: World War Two everything, But what the hell is going
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: on over there? They've gone over the top antisemitic.
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: The papers had a ready checkered history with a lot
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: of the major issues in our world. I mean, I've
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: waden Mark and you and I've discussed on believe the
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: fact that the the owning family were Confederate sympathizers during
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: the Civil War, and the fact that the mother of
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: the man who bought The New York Times in eight
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: ol Fox in eighteen ninety six, she was buried with
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: a Confederate flag on her cashkin, and she was a
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: founding member of the of several several Confederate monuments in
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: the South. But look, so they've had their checker his
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: three certain with although the family was Jewish, they've had
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: the problems, as you mentioned, in World War two in
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: not wanting to report on the camps UH, and then
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: of course the covering for Stalin in UH in the
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: whole famine. UH. Their correspond to actually on the pullets
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: of the Pulitzer Prize at time eventually decided to have
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: it removed, but the pullets aboard were not withdrewout the award.
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: So you're right, the paper has been all over the place.
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: But I think what has happened most recently is very troubling.
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: It is it has now equated Israel and America as
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: colonists essentially, and so you know, it's it's all about
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: race and ethnicity, and so the Palestinians are being held
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: up as though they are the black Americans of this country,
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: and white America is horrible, White Jewelry is horrible. So
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: this is a patterning of them going after the foundations
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: of civil Western civilization. And it doesn't make any sense
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: except the radicals are now selecting the topics and the targets,
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: and the Times editors are either complicit or sleep at
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: the switch.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: So they went so far as Nicholas Christoph writing this
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: ridiculous allegation that Israel is training dogs to rape women
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: with the flimsiest of sources. Why would the editor, why
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: would the publisher allow them to print something like that?
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the thing, man, That was you know, as
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: you mentioned the source of my Sunday column. And it
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: just doesn't make any sense to why you would go
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: out there and the science says it's anatomically impossible for
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: dogs to penetrate human beings, and yet they put that
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: in the paper and say it's all been fact checked. Well,
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: how do you fact check something that isn't scientific, that
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: isn't real. And so, you know, the post as a
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: story today coming out of the website, Tuck talking about
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: how there's some upset in the newsroom over this, and
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: I heard some of myself which I reported that people
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: are saying this would not have passed Mustard as an
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: ordinary news story because somebody was said, well, what's your
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: source of dogs raping you and beans? And they would
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: have had to say, well, it's this person who is
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: a Hamas sympathizer or somebody who you know promoted Hamas. Okay,
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: well can we verify this anyither way? A good editor
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: would ask, well, no, I can't find the scientist who
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: says it's even possible. Okay, spike the story. That's it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: We don't trust you, the reporter. It's actually what the
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: garbage you're producing. Take go home. Got to go home
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: because you're not truthy. But the Time instead through its
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: full support behind Christoph, because Christoph the man who actually
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: wrote that. And I think that in so doing they've
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: implicated the whole paper. Instead of sort of saying, wait
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: a minute, we have second thoughts here, they've wrapped their
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: arms around Christoph and effectively put the paper on the
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: line for what is simply a scientifically impossible act, not
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: to mention all the other things in his column that
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: just take this propaganda from this NNGO, which is filled
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: with Hamas sympathizers and printed as fa You cannot do
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: that at any level of journalism. As I say, my
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: call it a rookie. Your reporter would say no, no, no,
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: I'm not going there. But Christoph doesn't have paper embraces him.
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: That's compounding the Arab.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: So now Israel has announced they will file a massive
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: lawsuit against The New York Times. What will come of that?
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: No, it's hard to see how you win losses. And
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: the whole country has been the things. Nonetheless, if you've
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: been get into court and go through a discovery process
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: where you're allowed to get into the emails and message
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: chain and anything that has to do with doubts about
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: the column, and then you can begin to really say
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: that they just ran through the doubts, they saw the
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: red lights, and they kept going because they wanted they
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: wanted to be able to say that the Israelis are
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: the beasts, the Israelis are the problem, and that they
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: have tortured the Palestinian. Oh but we're talk about the
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: Israeli hostages who were murder raped, corpses that were raped,
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: I mean, all the heinous things that the Palestinians in
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: the Times doesn't ready subscribe to.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: That.
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: It's only trying to put the shoe on the other foot,
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: that's what they're about.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, some of our top top lawyers are all
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: volunteering to help Israel with this lawsuit, so we'll see what.
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: Look, I think I think, I think this has already
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: blown up all the time, and it does hurt them
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: beyond the immediate case. It does reinforce this agenda that
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: they have and the perception that they are sort of
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: out of control and displaying the race card all the time,
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: and that they've lost touch with their own history, which is,
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: you know, all the news that sticked to print, right,
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: and all the rules that I contract acting somebody who're
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: writing about giving them time to respond that they're times
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: are tamous for those kind of standards, but they violate
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: them now every day.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, Michael, Goodwill, Gelly a minute left, mom Dannie
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: with his anti Semitism, with his anti Israel, allowing riots
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: in front of synagogues, and some people are surprised he's
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: let it go this far, But then there are other
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: people saying, why didn't you believe him when he told
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: you what he stands for when he was running.
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a good point. Nobody should be surprised, that's right, Mike.
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: He made it very clear where he stood. I can't
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: I can't honestly say at this point that anything he's
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: done as mayor has been a surprise. I think he
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: is who he is, and he was who he said
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: he was, and he is today. So there's no surprise here.
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: Is this still shocking that he was elected the first class?
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Well, it's only three and a half more years.
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: We can make it right, Okay, yeah, it seems like
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: a lifetime shut.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Well. Michael Goodwin, great work is always and everybody read
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: his column every Sunday, every Wednesday in the New York Post.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin, thanks for being with.
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: Us, Mike Blesser, Mark, thank you, take care.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Hey.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Coming up in noon, it's Buck Sexton and Clay Travis.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: At three o'clock, it's Sean Hannity, the most listened to
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: radio show in America. He's been on the trip with
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: the President. He was in shining with him the whole time.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: It's a brutal flight. It's about seventeen hours. That's some
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: real jet leg. So Sean will be back today. He'll

• 33:14
  Speaker 2: that was pretty interesting, Michael Goodwin. The New York Times
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: always always has been anti sinematic, anti Israel. It was
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: New York Times that covered up the Holocaust. You can
• 33:24

• 34:01
  Speaker 2: wants this to stop. It's just destroying the reputation of
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: the paper, this crazy claims about Israel. And it's one
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: thing to be antisemitic, but at least have the decency
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: to keep quiet about it. The New York Times just
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: going over the top, and as far as they're anti Semitism,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: just escalating and escalating. So apparently there's rebellion in the newsroom.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Half the staff wants this nightmare to stop. With the
