Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You just heard the news.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Now you'll find out what it all means. He smarts
- 0:06Speaker 2: amone on seven to ten. R. Well, hey, it's Wednesday.
- 0:16Speaker 2: We've got a big, big night tonight. The Knicks game
- 0:20Speaker 2: four tonight. It was a game four, Game five. I
- 0:24Speaker 2: can't game four tonight, Game four tonight at the garden.
- 0:28Speaker 2: You know everybody said, well, Trump went to a game too,
- 0:31Speaker 2: That's what Jinks did. They won thirteen in a row.
- 0:33Speaker 2: All of a sudden, Trump's there. They lost. Mom Donnie
- 0:37Speaker 2: was there. You know, you forget forgetting Mom Donnie was
- 0:40Speaker 2: there for the first time. He was the jinx. It
- 0:42Speaker 2: was the Mom Donnie curse. First time Mom Donnie shows up,
- 0:46Speaker 2: they lose. That's the curse. So Hey, Trump, a long
- 0:51Speaker 2: long time Knicks fan, Mom Donnie all of a sudden
- 0:54Speaker 2: pretending to be a Knicks fan.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Uh.
- 0:58Speaker 2: I think that's what screwed them up. Now, the Knicks
- 1:00Speaker 2: complaining about the referees, the calls, the file shots, all
- 1:03Speaker 2: the anyway, we'll get to all of that. We'll get
- 1:06Speaker 2: to Platner, We'll get to Nancy Mace, We'll get to
- 1:11Speaker 2: Scott Pelley, the most pompous man ever. We'll get to
- 1:17Speaker 2: Artemis and a whole lot more coming up. Oh, also
- 1:21Speaker 2: we'll get to CNN what a future they're going to have.
- 1:24Speaker 2: And now Iran fired a couple of drones, fired a
- 1:29Speaker 2: couple of shots at us. We responded, the President announcing
- 1:33Speaker 2: it was a proportional response. We took out a lot
- 1:36Speaker 2: of stuff along the coast of the Straight of horn Moose,
- 1:39Speaker 2: especially at the opening of the Straight of horn Moose.
- 1:41Speaker 2: We took out a lot of stuff there. Iran kept
- 1:44Speaker 2: firing back. We responded. They responded to the response, So
- 1:48Speaker 2: that means more is coming, the President indicating it will
- 1:52Speaker 2: be a much much bigger, massive response this time, and
- 1:57Speaker 2: that we'll probably for the first time, are taken out infrastructure, bridges,
- 2:02Speaker 2: power plants, all of that sort of stuff, which is
- 2:05Speaker 2: you're going to hear, by the way, and let me
- 2:07Speaker 2: just point this out. And because it could happen to night,
- 2:09Speaker 2: they could take out bridges, power plants. You're gonna hear
- 2:12Speaker 2: every Democrat saying this is a violation of international law,
- 2:16Speaker 2: this is a war crime. You'll hear this a thousand times,
- 2:21Speaker 2: and the network news will report it as if it's
- 2:25Speaker 2: a real It's not a violation of international law. There
- 2:29Speaker 2: is actually no such thing as international law. It doesn't exist.
- 2:34Speaker 2: It's just a term they throw around. It's not a
- 2:37Speaker 2: war crime. It's usually what you do day one of
- 2:39Speaker 2: any war. And every time the US fought a war Iraq, wherever,
- 2:46Speaker 2: day one you take out power plants and bridges. It's
- 2:49Speaker 2: so usually the first thing you do. So don't pay
- 2:51Speaker 2: any attention when they start all of that stuff. The
- 2:54Speaker 2: blockade continues, President Trump.
- 2:56Speaker 3: What has proven to be a very powerful thing is
- 2:59Speaker 3: the blockade. The blockades turned out to be much stronger
- 3:02Speaker 3: than bombing, and it was really a combination, was our
- 3:05Speaker 3: initial thrust and then the blockade.
- 3:08Speaker 2: I remember, the blockade halts their entire economy. Iran has
- 3:13Speaker 2: no economy, no revenue, no money coming in as long
- 3:17Speaker 2: as that blockade, as long as they can't use the straits. Hey,
- 3:19Speaker 2: these pilots that were shot down, these helicopter pilots, more
- 3:23Speaker 2: details coming up. Apparently we knew it was a drone,
- 3:25Speaker 2: that was the helicopter was attacked by a drone, but
- 3:29Speaker 2: apparently the drone landed right in the helicopter, right between
- 3:33Speaker 2: the two pilots. There was fire and smoke and everything.
- 3:37Speaker 2: But you know, they think those drones are made to
- 3:40Speaker 2: explode when they get inside. So the pilots ejected quickly,
- 3:44Speaker 2: but very brave guys.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Hey, pilots are fine, yeah, and nobody injured.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Again, we are going to issue a report tomorrow. But
- 3:54Speaker 2: the pilots are fine. Yeah, yeah, And they were quickly rescued.
- 3:56Speaker 2: By the way, they were rescued by a drone drone boats.
- 4:01Speaker 2: There's an unmanned drone boat that could be sent and
- 4:05Speaker 2: they used an unmanned drone boat. These were developed a
- 4:08Speaker 2: few years ago, actually during the Biden years. They were developed.
- 4:10Speaker 2: One of the few things Lloyd Austin accomplished. He got
- 4:13Speaker 2: these things built. This drone boat. It's got a range
- 4:16Speaker 2: of like a thousand miles. It can show up pick
- 4:19Speaker 2: up pilots in the water. And the reason they use
- 4:20Speaker 2: this drone boat it's in the Strait of Hormose and
- 4:23Speaker 2: they were worried about mines. If you sent a manship
- 4:26Speaker 2: in there could blow up with the mind. So they
- 4:28Speaker 2: used this and the pilot successfully rescued. Now the deal
- 4:33Speaker 2: is still apparently coming, it's supposedly a deal.
- 4:36Speaker 3: I don't think there are In his second point, I
- 4:38Speaker 3: think we're very we're very close to having a very
- 4:43Speaker 3: very good, strong, powerful deal.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Yeah. So again, if you watch all the crazy shows,
- 4:49Speaker 2: the Morning Joe's, the CNNs, the New York Times, they've
- 4:53Speaker 2: been going after him for he kept keep saying there's
- 4:55Speaker 2: a deal. CNN they thought this was a brilliant accomplishment.
- 5:01Speaker 2: CNN counted how many times during this conflict Trump has
- 5:04Speaker 2: made the claim that they're close to a deal. It
- 5:09Speaker 2: turns out it's a wopping thirty eight times, according to Cenna,
- 5:13Speaker 2: and they act like they conducted some massive investigation. There's
- 5:17Speaker 2: a thing called Lexus Nexus, and it keeps a transcript
- 5:20Speaker 2: of everything, every speech by everybody, everything on the airwaves,
- 5:24Speaker 2: every newsca, every show. So you can go to the
- 5:28Speaker 2: Lexus Nexus, which every newsroom has, and you could just
- 5:32Speaker 2: type in how many times as President Trump said, we're close,
- 5:36Speaker 2: and it'll spit out the number instantly. It's not that complicated.
- 5:39Speaker 2: CNN actions acts like this was a major thing that
- 5:43Speaker 2: they've come up with. The fact that he said at
- 5:46Speaker 2: thirty seven thirty eight times would indicate I don't know,
- 5:50Speaker 2: you could interpret it to mean we are close to
- 5:53Speaker 2: a deal. If he mentioned it once and never said
- 5:55Speaker 2: it again, then I think, man, maybe we're not so close.
- 5:57Speaker 2: He never mentioned it again. But if he keeps saying
- 6:00Speaker 2: at thirty eight times, they're probably close to a deal.
- 6:03Speaker 2: And you know it's not like remember Trump, the master negotiator,
- 6:09Speaker 2: has spent his life negotiating with business people, unions. People
- 6:13Speaker 2: are running a business of some kind. They have to
- 6:16Speaker 2: make a deal at some point. They got to do
- 6:18Speaker 2: what's logical for them, what's most profitable for them. In
- 6:22Speaker 2: this case, you're dealing with lunatics, with crazy people, so
- 6:28Speaker 2: they don't have to ever do anything logical. So that's
- 6:31Speaker 2: the tough part here. But they should see another round
- 6:37Speaker 2: of massive strikes. Democrats will go nuts tomorrow. But we'll see,
- 6:43Speaker 2: we'll see. We're close. We're close. So Platner actually won
- 6:49Speaker 2: last night, was quite shocking. He won big too. He
- 6:52Speaker 2: got seventy five percent of the vote. That's pretty amazing.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Platner actually wins big. And now he's going after Collins.
- 7:02Speaker 2: That's his whole thing. He immediately in the in the
- 7:04Speaker 2: victory speech, just shifted right away going after Collins.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Susan Collins has used her privilege and power to funnel
- 7:12Speaker 1: sixty million dollars in federal contracts, sixty million of our
- 7:17Speaker 1: tax dollars to her lobbyist husband. If that's not corruption,
- 7:26Speaker 1: I don't know what is.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Sounds like Kathy Hockel, sounds like sounds like half the Congress.
- 7:33Speaker 2: If you're against that, I don't know where you're going
- 7:35Speaker 2: to Congress whereverybody does that there? But you see, he's
- 7:37Speaker 2: becoming Trump. Now, he's going to be coming after me.
- 7:42Speaker 2: It's not me thereafter, it's you there after you. And he's
- 7:44Speaker 2: going to do all the Trump stuff. He's going to
- 7:46Speaker 2: be the new Trump.
- 7:47Speaker 1: I will stand up for you and against billionaires and
- 7:51Speaker 1: greedy corporations. I will serve you the people of May,
- 7:59Speaker 1: not lobbyist or party boss. I will be the champion
- 8:04Speaker 1: for your dreams as if it were my own, no
- 8:08Speaker 1: matter the challenge or the expense.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Now, in Trump's case, was going for the deep state,
- 8:13Speaker 2: but he basically stole Trump's twenty sixteen convention speech. But
- 8:16Speaker 2: he's going to go after the billionaires and the big corporations.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Now it's main. I don't think there's any billionaires there.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Maybe there's two corporations. It's not a big billionaire corporate
- 8:27Speaker 2: kind of a place Maine. But that's a difference. It
- 8:30Speaker 2: sounded good.
- 8:31Speaker 1: If you believe as I do that we can change
- 8:35Speaker 1: our politics and change our country, then you must also
- 8:39Speaker 1: believe that people can change.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Yeah, he's referring to all the horrible things he has
- 8:47Speaker 2: done and said, all the horrible things he put online,
- 8:51Speaker 2: all the horrible things he tweeted, all the disgusting things
- 8:54Speaker 2: he said. He's changed now. The only thing is he's
- 8:58Speaker 2: forty one, and at these horrible things were like a
- 9:01Speaker 2: year ago he was forty. I mean, I could see
- 9:03Speaker 2: if you were sixteen and now you're forty one, you changed.
- 9:07Speaker 2: How much could you change from a year ago? I
- 9:09Speaker 2: don't know. So. Nancy Mace, who went against Donald Trump
- 9:14Speaker 2: and then he went against her, just got wiped out
- 9:17Speaker 2: last night. I mean, a total embarrassing disaster, showing she
- 9:22Speaker 2: didn't come in third place, she didn't come in fourth place.
- 9:24Speaker 2: She came in a very distant fifth place. She had
- 9:28Speaker 2: all kinds of explanations for why, apparently I chose wrong.
- 9:32Speaker 1: If the goal was winning an election, I'm.
- 9:36Speaker 4: A peace with that, because when a candidate is okay
- 9:39Speaker 4: with corruption, when a candidate is okay.
- 9:42Speaker 2: With cover ups, something is broken.
- 9:47Speaker 1: And that's not political opinion, that is a moral emergency.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not her fault. It's your fault. It's
- 9:54Speaker 2: all your fault. One of the things that screwed her
- 9:56Speaker 2: up was Epstein. She got so busy attacking Trump over Epstein.
- 10:00Speaker 2: There's nobody that had less to do with Epstein than Trump.
- 10:03Speaker 2: If you read now the Epstein files, you see that
- 10:05Speaker 2: there were bitter enemies. Epstein hated Trump and was always
- 10:09Speaker 2: out to get them. But many of these people can
- 10:14Speaker 2: remember the Epstein files. He was a horrible guy, and
- 10:18Speaker 2: he had this thing for underage women personally, that's what
- 10:21Speaker 2: he did. Had nothing to do with these other guys
- 10:24Speaker 2: except maybe Prince Andrew. Maybe there were one or two
- 10:26Speaker 2: friends that were in on that. But all of these
- 10:28Speaker 2: other guys with Epstein, you can read all this in
- 10:30Speaker 2: the files. They were just after women, adult women. That's
- 10:33Speaker 2: what Epstein had, adult women all over the place at
- 10:35Speaker 2: his parties. He was always introducing you to adult women.
- 10:39Speaker 2: That's what Clinton liked. That's what all these guys liked,
- 10:42Speaker 2: the underage women. That was him on the side privately,
- 10:46Speaker 2: but they had themselves convinced that it was underage women.
- 10:49Speaker 2: For everybody. There was a client list. You never had
- 10:52Speaker 2: a sex business. There were no clients. So she went
- 10:55Speaker 2: crazy pushing this Epstein file, and it just did her in.
- 10:59Speaker 1: She mentioned that last night I voted to release the
- 11:01Speaker 1: Epstein files and lost some support for that. As a survivor,
- 11:07Speaker 1: I chose to stand on the principle and stand against
- 11:11Speaker 1: the Epstein cover.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, but the files are out. Read them. There's
- 11:16Speaker 2: nothing in there. The only thing in there about Trump
- 11:18Speaker 2: is how much Epstein hated him. So they were not
- 11:21Speaker 2: friends a million years ago. For two seconds they were.
- 11:24Speaker 2: But you know who's got to testify today. In fact,
- 11:28Speaker 2: he's already there. Bill Gates has to testify in front
- 11:32Speaker 2: of the Congressional Committee about Epstein. Now it's going to
- 11:34Speaker 2: be behind closed doors, but later today stuff will leak
- 11:38Speaker 2: out from the way he's been behaving on this. He
- 11:41Speaker 2: has been confessing even to his employees. Again with Gates,
- 11:45Speaker 2: it was older women. It was not underage women. But
- 11:49Speaker 2: with Epstein, it was a lot of women. For Gates,
- 11:51Speaker 2: a lot of women, and they were older women. But
- 11:54Speaker 2: he's going to have to testify. He'll be under oath
- 11:57Speaker 2: all day to day. He's going to have to testify
- 11:58Speaker 2: about this. I have a feeling he'll confess to a
- 12:01Speaker 2: lot of stuff on the way in He said to reporters,
- 12:06Speaker 2: I'm glad to be here to do what I can
- 12:09Speaker 2: to help. I'm glad, I trust me. The last thing
- 12:12Speaker 2: on Earth he wants to do is go under oath
- 12:14Speaker 2: and testify about Epstein. He's glad to be here. So
- 12:18Speaker 2: he didn't you look at him? He didn't look so
- 12:20Speaker 2: glad to be there. But that's coming up. Hey, the Artemis.
- 12:25Speaker 2: They've announced the new Artemis astronauts. This is the new
- 12:28Speaker 2: lunar mission.
- 12:29Speaker 4: The crew will fly their journey in lower th orbit
- 12:31Speaker 4: on a circular trajectory around Earth Oriyan in the Blue
- 12:34Speaker 4: Origin Lander design well rendezvous in space, spending about two
- 12:38Speaker 4: days in docked operations, conducting test technology demonstrations, including inside
- 12:43Speaker 4: of Blue Origin spacecraft.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Does this sound like a lot of fun to you? Then,
- 12:48Speaker 2: this little capsule up there practicing docking? I mean, out
- 12:51Speaker 2: of all the things you can be doing in life,
- 12:53Speaker 2: wouldn't you rather be watching the Knicks tonight? Who wants
- 12:55Speaker 2: to be in this space capsule around in the area.
- 12:57Speaker 4: Intended doc perform integrated stack? Have crew crossed the hatch?
- 13:02Speaker 1: I mean?
- 13:02Speaker 2: Is that your idea of fun? Integrated stack control crossing
- 13:06Speaker 2: the hatch? Is this what you'd like to do all
- 13:07Speaker 2: day for a living.
- 13:08Speaker 4: The lander and get critical test of the life support
- 13:11Speaker 4: systems that can only be done in space.
- 13:13Speaker 2: All right, so they're happy about it. Now the next
- 13:17Speaker 2: lunar landing, I think it's not for a while, and
- 13:20Speaker 2: they said they're going to stay there for a while.
- 13:23Speaker 2: See these pictures of the moon, so look like a
- 13:25Speaker 2: place you'd like to hang out. It looked like a
- 13:27Speaker 2: lot of fun to be up there. I mean you
- 13:29Speaker 2: get to look all the way back at the Earth,
- 13:30Speaker 2: but just looking back at what you're missing down there. Hey,
- 13:36Speaker 2: we'll get to Scott Pelly coming up, the most pompous
- 13:39Speaker 2: man ever, will play more of his interviews. He was
- 13:43Speaker 2: the king of fake news. Scott Pelly, Leslie Stall and
- 13:48Speaker 2: the others they're staying with sixty Minutes and apparently the
- 13:52Speaker 2: new owner. It's David Ellison, who's the chairman, the owner,
- 13:57Speaker 2: the whole, the big boss. Apparently he called Stall at
- 14:00Speaker 2: home on Sunday and had a nice conversation with her,
- 14:04Speaker 2: happy that she's going to stay. Stall is eighty four
- 14:07Speaker 2: years old, which is young for a sixty Minutes correspondent,
- 14:11Speaker 2: but she told the staff that she had a nice
- 14:15Speaker 2: talk with Allison he called her. This is good just
- 14:18Speaker 2: to upset Scott Pelly. Why did he call her? Why
- 14:21Speaker 2: did he not call me? I'm Scott Pelly. So and
- 14:27Speaker 2: they also, you know, they're about to buy CNN, Paramount
- 14:31Speaker 2: sky Dance is about to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery. CNN's
- 14:36Speaker 2: in there. They announced that Barry Weiss will also run CNN.
- 14:42Speaker 2: So you guys over there at CNN, you old old
- 14:46Speaker 2: fake news guys, I don't know. Now, you gotta remember,
- 14:50Speaker 2: Barry Weiss is not a Republican. She's not a conservative,
- 14:53Speaker 2: she's a Democrat. She's from the New York Times. All
- 14:56Speaker 2: these people are putting in her Democrats. They're not Trump's,
- 15:00Speaker 2: they're not right wing Republican types. But if you're over
- 15:05Speaker 2: there at CNN, they got to have to change things.
- 15:07Speaker 2: CNN has no ratings, no audience. It's basically failing. And
- 15:12Speaker 2: you got guys there making enough fortune. You know, you
- 15:14Speaker 2: got like, hey, Wolf Blitzer, a very nice guy, but
- 15:18Speaker 2: get millions and millions, and it's really not worth it anymore.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Do you know anybody that says, oh, look what time
- 15:25Speaker 2: it is, Oh I gotta go watch Wolf Blitzer. Nobody's
- 15:28Speaker 2: tuning in for Wolf Blitzer, nobody else what time he's on.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Do you have any idea what time he's on. No,
- 15:34Speaker 2: So they're going to try to trim the fat over there,
- 15:37Speaker 2: the big bloated budget. So some of those guys should
- 15:41Speaker 2: be worried. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next eight hundred
- 15:44Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
