0:00
Speaker 1: You just heard the news.
0:02
Speaker 2: Now you'll find out what it all means.
0:05
Speaker 1: Okay, smarts amone on seven tenor.
0:17
Speaker 3: Well, hey, we got a lot to catch up on.
0:19
Speaker 3: What a weekend it was. What the horful weekend it was.
0:23
Speaker 3: Everybody had all kinds of plans for Fourth of July
0:27
Speaker 3: and you get that heat wave Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, it
0:31
Speaker 3: was really impossible to go outside and do much of anything. Saturday,
0:37
Speaker 3: maybe maybe you could go out for a little and
0:39
Speaker 3: then how do you get rid of the heat wave
0:41
Speaker 3: like that? Well, you need some rain, so we get downpours,
0:44
Speaker 3: ridiculous thunderstorms, some power outages even as a result, Hey,
0:49
Speaker 3: by the way, because of the heat wave, you did
0:52
Speaker 3: have some power outages in parts of the city in
0:55
Speaker 3: other areas where they did have to shut down a
0:58
Speaker 3: few neighborhoods to keep the power going. You can thank
1:01
Speaker 3: Andrew Cuomo for that. Remember the idiot governor Andrew Cuomo
1:06
Speaker 3: who shut down nuclear plant Indian Point. That was twenty
1:11
Speaker 3: five percent of our electricity and at the time every
1:15
Speaker 3: expert predicted, if you shut that down, we're going to
1:18
Speaker 3: have problems in a heat wave keeping the power on.
1:20
Speaker 3: It's twenty five percent of our power. He took offline,
1:23
Speaker 3: so they were right. We did have to shut down
1:26
Speaker 3: a few neighborhoods over the weekend. So it's going to
1:28
Speaker 3: rain today all day to day. It looks like they're
1:31
Speaker 3: talking about flooding and this and that. I know it
1:35
Speaker 3: does it look like it's going to be that bad,
1:37
Speaker 3: But you know, mayor Mom, Donnie, anytime there's he's all
1:40
Speaker 3: over television. Now you know the heat wave, making announcements, flooding,
1:44
Speaker 3: He's making announcements all of a sudden, he's your emergency president.
1:48
Speaker 3: We'll get to him too. He shocked and I I
1:52
Speaker 3: don't know if he shocked anybody, but he horrified everybody
1:55
Speaker 3: with this awful, disgusting speech. On July fourth, the birthday
2:01
Speaker 3: of America. We celebrate America flags and fireworks and picnics.
2:06
Speaker 3: This guy, who's been a citizen for about twenty minutes,
2:09
Speaker 3: he just became a citizen eight years ago, decides he'll
2:12
Speaker 3: do a lecture. He'll lecture us on what America means.
2:15
Speaker 3: This is just what we need. A Muslim from Uganda
2:18
Speaker 3: trying to explain America to us. And he decides he'll
2:22
Speaker 3: do it at George Washington's desk and nobody can figure
2:26
Speaker 3: out why he had the desk backwards where the drawers
2:31
Speaker 3: come out. That's where you're supposed to be sitting. He
2:33
Speaker 3: had that facing out, and he sat on the other side.
2:36
Speaker 3: He sat. The desk was backwards. He was backwards talking
2:41
Speaker 3: about how crazy America is awful speech.
2:44
Speaker 4: There are some who respond to those who ask for
2:46
Speaker 4: more from America with a simple refrain, love it or
2:49
Speaker 4: leave it, they say, But patriotism has never been about
2:53
Speaker 4: pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act
2:58
Speaker 4: of righteous assent.
2:59
Speaker 3: Now you're gonna remember these lefties. They don't like America.
3:02
Speaker 3: And I don't know, maybe they'd love their country, but
3:04
Speaker 3: they don't like their country. They don't like any of this.
3:06
Speaker 3: They don't like football, they don't like hot dogs, they
3:09
Speaker 3: don't like the Fourth of July. They don't like fireworks,
3:12
Speaker 3: they don't want to see the flag. They hate all
3:14
Speaker 3: of this. They just hate it all. They just you know,
3:17
Speaker 3: it's communists, socialist state. They don't like democracy. They'd rather
3:21
Speaker 3: remember we used to we used to have to go
3:23
Speaker 3: to Vietnam to fight communism. Now we got to go
3:26
Speaker 3: to New York and Seattle and fight it.
3:29
Speaker 4: We see monopolies that dominate every industry. And oligarchs who
3:33
Speaker 4: buy elections. We see massed agents terrorizing our streets, eating
3:38
Speaker 4: food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away
3:42
Speaker 4: in unmarked vans.
3:45
Speaker 3: Oligarchs that buy elections. The biggest one is Soros. Your guy,
3:49
Speaker 3: Your guy, the guy's funding you. Soros, that's the oligarch
3:52
Speaker 3: buying elections. But he'll give you these lectures about everything
3:56
Speaker 3: that's wrong. Monopolies, disgusting monopolies. I guess he's talking about
4:00
Speaker 3: Apple and Amazon. Could you imagine life without Apple and Amazon?
4:04
Speaker 3: You know how grateful you got to be to these
4:06
Speaker 3: two companies. Do you even remember what life was like
4:11
Speaker 3: before Apple or Amazon? Do you even remember that? Oh
4:14
Speaker 3: you might have had a cell phone, a Motorola Star tack,
4:17
Speaker 3: Remember that you open it the flip phone. You could
4:21
Speaker 3: make a call, you could get a call, but you
4:24
Speaker 3: couldn't read your email. You couldn't go online. You remember
4:28
Speaker 3: your kids today? There was no Instagram, there was no Facebook.
4:33
Speaker 3: What did we do back then? I'm trying to even
4:36
Speaker 3: remember what did you do all day? You're sitting on
4:40
Speaker 3: the on a subway, when you were sitting in the
4:43
Speaker 3: back of a car. What did you look at I
4:44
Speaker 3: don't remember. I guess you had to bring a book. Yeah.
4:46
Speaker 3: If you look at pictures of people on the subway
4:48
Speaker 3: commuters back in the eighties, every one of them's got
4:51
Speaker 3: the newspaper and open. They're all reading the news. We
4:53
Speaker 3: had to read a newspaper. But that's just the news.
4:55
Speaker 3: I mean, you couldn't. You couldn't see what everybody had
4:58
Speaker 3: for lunch. You couldn't. You could and there was no
5:00
Speaker 3: TikTok Instagram. There was nothing back then. You don't know
5:03
Speaker 3: how primitive it was back then. So Mom, Donnie, and
5:07
Speaker 3: what did you do before Amazon? You had actually go
5:09
Speaker 3: somewhere and buy things. You had to go to a store.
5:11
Speaker 3: They'd put it in a bag, you had to carry
5:13
Speaker 3: it home. It was like the Flintstones. There was a
5:16
Speaker 3: primitive world back then. So if you watch those Sunday shows,
5:21
Speaker 3: they just sit there all day to night trying to
5:23
Speaker 3: convince you that everything about Trump is wrong. Here, look
5:26
Speaker 3: at the way he's profiting off the prey. Why he
5:28
Speaker 3: made two billion last year? Check the record. You make
5:31
Speaker 3: about two billion every year for the last twenty years,
5:34
Speaker 3: you know, And if you're a guy he went into
5:36
Speaker 3: office with about seven billion. When you got seven billion
5:39
Speaker 3: and you start investing it, you can easily make two billion.
5:42
Speaker 3: It's not that hard. But and then they really are
5:45
Speaker 3: trying to get him on this reflecting pool. That's that big,
5:49
Speaker 3: enormous pool in Washington, DC. The president had redone. Now
5:52
Speaker 3: you got to remember, what are the odds of this?
5:55
Speaker 3: You got a pool that needs fixing. And for the
5:58
Speaker 3: first and only time in the history of the Earth,
6:01
Speaker 3: you got a president of the United States who's an
6:03
Speaker 3: expert at fixing pools. When are you ever going to
6:07
Speaker 3: have a president ever again who's built a couple hundred
6:09
Speaker 3: pool swimming pools, so he knows every swimming pool company,
6:13
Speaker 3: knows exactly what it's supposed to cost, what they need
6:15
Speaker 3: to do, he knows everything about pools, the odds of that.
6:19
Speaker 3: So he brings in the top swimming pool companies used
6:22
Speaker 3: a one hundred times and they fix it. But it
6:26
Speaker 3: was vandalism. It was definitely vandalism. Somebody cut the lining
6:30
Speaker 3: in there. But they're trying to get him on this
6:33
Speaker 3: that he's done something wrong. A final cost, I think
6:36
Speaker 3: was fourteen million. They're yelling and screaming about that. Now
6:39
Speaker 3: a few years ago. Obama fixed it for thirty four million,
6:42
Speaker 3: three times the cost, and it was a disaster. As
6:46
Speaker 3: soon as he fixed it, it was all algae and everything.
6:48
Speaker 3: They never mentioned this, they never mentioned. But now the
6:52
Speaker 3: Sunday Show, this is George Stephanopolis. The Sunday Show, Meet
6:56
Speaker 3: the Press this week with David Brinkley have faced the nation.
6:59
Speaker 3: These used to be shows that look at the most
7:02
Speaker 3: important issues foreign policy, world affairs. Now they're discussing swimming
7:07
Speaker 3: pool linings. Why because they think they're going to get trumplessness. Stephanopolis,
7:11
Speaker 3: go after Doug Bergen and the.
7:13
Speaker 5: Pool is going to be drained at least in part.
7:15
Speaker 6: And you've also put your putting out solicitations for new bits.
7:18
Speaker 7: So the pool is not fixed right now, is it.
7:20
Speaker 8: Well, it's fixing the sax that's no longer leaking forty
7:22
Speaker 8: five thousand gallons a day. And we've got less than
7:25
Speaker 8: one tenth of one percent of that industrial liner that's
7:28
Speaker 8: been damaged, and that's the only thing that remains to
7:31
Speaker 8: go back and fix the damage done by the vandals.
7:34
Speaker 3: Which was de vandalized. Why because of Stephanopolis, because of
7:38
Speaker 3: the fake news riling up these crazy Trump haters who
7:42
Speaker 3: are defacing the pool. And now they've got video of them.
7:44
Speaker 3: They've arrested one already. They'll get these people, they'll arrest them.
7:48
Speaker 3: But it was defaced.
7:50
Speaker 8: The real story here is how did we let this
7:52
Speaker 8: nation's capital fall into such a disrepair where we had
7:57
Speaker 8: a monument after monument, statue after statue found now after
8:00
Speaker 8: fountain covered with graffiti anti American graffiti, And how that
8:04
Speaker 8: was never reported that story and now when President Trump
8:07
Speaker 8: goes to fix it up, that becomes the story.
8:10
Speaker 3: That's a very good point. You here, Stephan UPPs. But
8:11
Speaker 3: but but he's like a little pit pull. They got
8:15
Speaker 3: a little poodle trying to bite Bergham's legs. He's just
8:18
Speaker 3: fake news. Just go after him the pull. Now, by
8:21
Speaker 3: the way, again, the odds of this that you need
8:24
Speaker 3: the pool fixed and you got a president who's an
8:26
Speaker 3: expert at fixing pools, who's done it hundreds of times.
8:29
Speaker 3: This is how lucky could we be? Well, Congress is
8:32
Speaker 3: now saying they're going to investigate this. How did this
8:35
Speaker 3: pool contractor get the contract? Why wasn't it put out
8:38
Speaker 3: for bidding? Because whenever the government does it, and they
8:41
Speaker 3: put out bids and all that next thing, you know,
8:43
Speaker 3: donors get it. The next thing, you know, they're allowed
8:45
Speaker 3: to do cost overruns. And that's how Obama got it
8:48
Speaker 3: to thirty four million instead of fourteen million. So the
8:52
Speaker 3: Congress is going to investigate this again. You got a
8:54
Speaker 3: president who's built two hundred pool maybe two hundred and
8:56
Speaker 3: fifty pools in his life. But the real expert, Adam Shift,
9:01
Speaker 3: needs to take a look at this. Adam Shift and
9:02
Speaker 3: AOC and Maxine Waters. They'll investigate this because nobody knows
9:07
Speaker 3: more about construction, building, building swimming pools than Adam Shift
9:12
Speaker 3: or people like that. Hey, the Taylor Swift wedding, it
9:16
Speaker 3: looks like the total cost was fifteen million dollars fifteen million,
9:23
Speaker 3: a lot of that to transform Mason Square Garden. It
9:28
Speaker 3: was quite a wedding. Everybody there said, hey, by the way,
9:32
Speaker 3: this is Taylor Swift who's always yelling and screaming against Trump.
9:36
Speaker 3: She hates the border, she hates walls the border. Meantime,
9:40
Speaker 3: she constructs the biggest border around Madison Square Garden with
9:43
Speaker 3: walls and police and you had to show photo ID
9:47
Speaker 3: to get in. But when you entered the floors of
9:51
Speaker 3: the walls, ceiling, everything was draped in peach and white,
9:55
Speaker 3: large blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age,
9:58
Speaker 3: year by year, from one year old to a teenage today.
10:04
Speaker 3: A small portion of msg was cordoned off, devoid of
10:08
Speaker 3: any sign of basketball or hockey or anything like that.
10:13
Speaker 3: And it says, magically someone created an outdoor garden at
10:17
Speaker 3: a lush countryside retreat. Well that's a great setting. But
10:21
Speaker 3: you know, you could save fifteen million and actually hold
10:25
Speaker 3: the wedding at a lush garden in a beautiful seaside retreat.
10:29
Speaker 3: You could actually go find a real one and do
10:31
Speaker 3: it there. Everything was draped off in green and white,
10:35
Speaker 3: real flowers and big artificial trees, fifteen rows of trees,
10:42
Speaker 3: fifteen rows of chairs, seventy five or so chairs around
10:45
Speaker 3: this garden. This was for the actual wedding. You could
10:50
Speaker 3: actually go somewhere where they got trees and flowers and
10:53
Speaker 3: a garden and hold it there and save yourself fifteen million.
10:56
Speaker 3: But hey, if Madison Square garden means something to her
11:00
Speaker 3: because she's appeared there, if it has sentimental value importance
11:03
Speaker 3: in her, okay, let her spend the money. So they
11:06
Speaker 3: had the wedding the first night. The truth is they
11:09
Speaker 3: got married before they went to the garden. They were
11:11
Speaker 3: already married. They got a marriage licensed city hall. They
11:15
Speaker 3: won't say where they got married. It's believed to be Tennessee,
11:17
Speaker 3: where she's from. But they were already married. So they
11:20
Speaker 3: went through the ceremony and who officiated, Adam Sandler a
11:27
Speaker 3: nice guy. But could you think of anybody goofier nuttier?
11:31
Speaker 3: Why would you the symbolic idea of a goofy nutty
11:35
Speaker 3: guy marrying you? I would think that's kind of a curse,
11:40
Speaker 3: kind of a jinx. And there were mellow romantic songs played,
11:44
Speaker 3: violins and cellos playing. As the wedding party came in,
11:49
Speaker 3: Travis in a white tuxedo, tailor in a stunning white
11:54
Speaker 3: wedding dress with a long veiled train. Apparently Christian Dior
11:58
Speaker 3: did the wedding. They won't usually wedding dresses, but this
12:01
Speaker 3: was a custom special one. Then the vows were very long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent. Okay,
12:12
Speaker 3: their families were there mostly all the families were there.
12:16
Speaker 3: And then the next night was the party that was
12:18
Speaker 3: over a thousand people. It began at about four o'clock
12:22
Speaker 3: cocktails five point thirty the actual party, and it went
12:24
Speaker 3: till like four in the morning, although you saw a
12:27
Speaker 3: lot of people leaving very early. You know, George Stephanopolis
12:30
Speaker 3: was invited, Stephen Colbert was invited. This was not a
12:35
Speaker 3: Trump friendly wedding. Nope, not at all. Nope. I didn't
12:39
Speaker 3: see him invite Sean Hannity. I didn't see any Trump
12:43
Speaker 3: supporters invited. Nope. So at five listen this the trees.
12:49
Speaker 3: This is why they need Madson Square Garden. The trees
12:52
Speaker 3: were five stories tall. Five stories is that unbelievable. But again,
12:58
Speaker 3: you could go somewhere where they got five story trees.
13:00
Speaker 3: You don't have to, you know what. That's why it's
13:02
Speaker 3: fifteen million. To bring them into Madison Square Garden wasn't
13:07
Speaker 3: easy to do, so thank god it's over. It did
13:10
Speaker 3: disrupt a lot of Midtown Manhattan, a lot of that area, traffic,
13:13
Speaker 3: everything disrupted. Now hopefully she won't have her other weddings
13:18
Speaker 3: in Madison Squrgan. Hopefully the next few weddings will be
13:21
Speaker 3: somewhere else. How long do you give this thing? Five years?
13:27
Speaker 3: I'd say five years. If i'd have bet, I'd bet
13:28
Speaker 3: five years, five years, six years. It seems like she
13:31
Speaker 3: likes a lot of publicity, a lot of publicity. It's
13:35
Speaker 3: all very carefully staged to get attention. You know, they
13:39
Speaker 3: have these sort of weddings all the time in New
13:41
Speaker 3: York all the time. But they're in the Waldorf Ballroom,
13:45
Speaker 3: they're in the Pierre Ballroom. They're in places like that
13:48
Speaker 3: where they spend millions. You wouldn't believe how much they
13:51
Speaker 3: spend on these things. Some of these weddings you don't
13:53
Speaker 3: even hear about them to keep them quiet. It's usually
13:56
Speaker 3: not famous people, but it's Oligark's billionaires, you know, the
13:58
Speaker 3: people Mambani hates. But they'll have a wedding in the Waldorf.
14:02
Speaker 3: They'll spend a million dollars just transforming the room. Sometimes
14:06
Speaker 3: they'll spend ten million on the entertainment. Yeah. Yeah, they'll
14:09
Speaker 3: bring in like three four major artists. You know, if
14:13
Speaker 3: you want Paul McCartney to sing at your wedding, he
14:15
Speaker 3: sang at this wedding, You can do that. You just
14:18
Speaker 3: got to pay triple price. You call the CIA or
14:22
Speaker 3: William Morris, whoever their agent is. They do private dates
14:26
Speaker 3: every major star, even Taylor Swift. They do private dates
14:29
Speaker 3: three times the normal price. She probably let's say McCartney
14:33
Speaker 3: gets I don't know, let's say a couple million a night,
14:36
Speaker 3: So it's going to cost you six million to get him.
14:37
Speaker 3: But they'll do it. They'll do it. So there are
14:40
Speaker 3: billionaires that have three or four superstars perform at their
14:43
Speaker 3: wedding and spend a fortune on everything. But that's that's
14:50
Speaker 3: happening all the time. But they keep it quiet. They're
14:53
Speaker 3: not publicity hounds. In fact, they go onto their way
14:54
Speaker 3: to make sure nobody hears about it. This is the opposite.
14:58
Speaker 3: She did donate twenty six million to charity to make
15:00
Speaker 3: up for this boyd. Does that show a guilty conscience?
15:03
Speaker 3: All of a sudden she donates It's great that she
15:06
Speaker 3: did it, but all of a sudden she donates twenty
15:08
Speaker 3: six million to charity. Definitely signs of a guilty conscience.
15:12
Speaker 3: By the way, when you give money to charity, you're
15:15
Speaker 3: not supposed to tell anybody. You're just supposed to do it.
15:19
Speaker 3: That's the rule. If you tell anybody, it means you
15:21
Speaker 3: did it for the wrong reasons. So anyway, we'll get back.
15:24
Speaker 3: We'll get back. Well, in the next hour, we'll have
15:26
Speaker 3: our wedding expert. Gossip columnist to tell us all about it.
15:30
Speaker 3: Rob Shooter will be here later. He's very good on this. Hey,
15:35
Speaker 3: we'll take some calls next. Oh, I want to wish
15:37
Speaker 3: happy birthday to Avery rising star here at iHeart. Avery
15:42
Speaker 3: started with us a few months ago. Avery Amir is
15:45
Speaker 3: doing a great job. Everybody's nice to him because I
15:48
Speaker 3: think this guy will be like the president of the
15:49
Speaker 3: company by the end of the year. He's a good kid,
15:52
Speaker 3: twenty one years old. Today, we'll take some calls next.
15:55
Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
16:00
Speaker 3: Hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
16:03
Speaker 1: Yes, Maxim Live from the WR Life Back Studios.
16:12
Speaker 3: Tell you, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three to
16:15
Speaker 3: two one zero seven ten is number. Let's go to
16:17
Speaker 3: Neil and Brooklyn. Neil, how you doing all right?
16:21
Speaker 6: Thank you?
16:22
Speaker 5: Uh.
16:22
Speaker 6: You know, many times on Meea's Day or fourth of July,
16:25
Speaker 6: the local news will show naturalized citizens who just passed
16:30
Speaker 6: the test and they're happy and they're patriotic and their
16:33
Speaker 6: loving of America. And this guy, Mamdani finds about ten
16:38
Speaker 6: of the most miserable looking naturalized citizens citizens to stand
16:42
Speaker 6: behind them in that video. It is remarkable.
16:46
Speaker 3: It was a pretty funny video. He did find the
16:51
Speaker 3: most miserable looking people. They look like they just got
16:53
Speaker 3: off a rafter something. That was the worst video. This guy, Mom,
16:59
Speaker 3: Donnie again. We used to have to go to Vietnam,
17:04
Speaker 3: into the jungles of Vietnam to fight communism. Now we've
17:07
Speaker 3: got to go to Manhattan, downtown Manhattan to do it.
17:09
Speaker 3: But it's basically Democrats blowing the midterms by letting the
17:15
Speaker 3: whole party become the face of the parties. Communists just
17:19
Speaker 3: communists everywhere. We're going to be fighting communists now. This
17:23
Speaker 3: is not going to help them in the midterms. This
17:25
Speaker 3: is going to mushroom. This is going to be the
17:27
Speaker 3: vote in the midterms. Communism or continue with our democracy.
17:31
Speaker 3: Let's go to David and Queen's David.
17:33
Speaker 7: How you doing, Hey, Mark, good morning? Mark.
17:36
Speaker 1: You remember Edi, I mean, don't you?
17:38
Speaker 3: Yes?
17:38
Speaker 1: It was forty five years ago. He was the leader
17:42
Speaker 1: of the DA that comes from.
17:45
Speaker 3: Edi, I mean Dada was his name?
17:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, And just forty five years ago he was
17:51
Speaker 1: practicing cannibalism and forcing prisoners to kill each other with sledgehammers.
17:56
Speaker 1: Not a word from Mom, Dami.
17:58
Speaker 3: Thank you, Mark, Thanks for going. Let's go to Mike
18:02
Speaker 3: and Florida. Mike, how you doing morning, Mark, Welcome back. Thanks.
18:08
Speaker 2: I know it's become a bit of a cliche, but
18:10
Speaker 2: could you imagine if one of the Trump kids held
18:12
Speaker 2: a wedding in midtown Manhattan that closed businesses and blocked
18:15
Speaker 2: off streets, you know, and and the other Another irony
18:20
Speaker 2: is that all these people who went, you know, the
18:22
Speaker 2: Stephanopolises and the Colberts, they all scream about elitism. Meanwhile,
18:26
Speaker 2: I wonder how many illegal aliens were invited and allowed
18:29
Speaker 2: into this event. And they're all green, but they cut
18:32
Speaker 2: down perfectly full grown with twore trees to ship into
18:35
Speaker 2: the garden to only be I'm sure thrown away afterwards.
18:38
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, very very very very elitist event obviously. But again,
18:44
Speaker 3: are you married?
18:46
Speaker 7: No, I'm not.
18:46
Speaker 3: Oh you're lucky. No, one sound so happy. You know,
18:50
Speaker 3: if you're married, you pick a place usually that means
18:53
Speaker 3: something to you, and I guess that meant sight Madison
18:56
Speaker 3: Square Garden. So but I don't know that's where you are.
19:00
Speaker 2: Imagine we might have some show, she said, did probably,
19:03
Speaker 2: but it's hard to imagine that that's the most romantic
19:05
Speaker 2: place she could do.
19:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. All right, Mike, thanks for calling. Yeah,
19:09
Speaker 3: you pick someone to mean something to you, but usually
19:10
Speaker 3: personally not your work. I mean, if you get married,
19:16
Speaker 3: would you hold it where you work? It should be
19:19
Speaker 3: you know something from your personal life that means something.
19:22
Speaker 3: It's just just but I think she's just desperately looking
19:25
Speaker 3: for attention. I don't know why. I mean, isn't she
19:27
Speaker 3: the biggest star in music? Isn't she the most successful?
19:31
Speaker 3: Is she the wealthiest now? She just recently became a billionaire.
19:36
Speaker 3: Oprah's wealthier, I think McCartney's wealth here. There's a few
19:39
Speaker 3: and so show business wealthier than her. But I don't know. Yeah,
19:44
Speaker 3: I mean I guess. Oh, listen, you can't question it. It
19:47
Speaker 3: keeps working. She knows exactly when and how to get
19:50
Speaker 3: a ton of publicity. Let's go to Joseph in Manhattan. Joseph,
19:53
Speaker 3: how you doing?
19:55
Speaker 5: Thank you Mark for going on Larry Kuddlole's program. And
19:59
Speaker 5: you're talking about the criminality again. I'm reminding us about
20:03
Speaker 5: Democrat Cuomo. No jail, no bail, releasing police murderers.
20:08
Speaker 3: Wow, all right, thanks for coming. He is he's a
20:13
Speaker 3: strange character, that Cuomo. He's doing a radio show for
20:16
Speaker 3: a while it was a total disaster. Worst radio host
20:18
Speaker 3: eff He finally gave up and left after but seven weeks.
20:22
Speaker 3: But he would go in the show and he'd say,
20:24
Speaker 3: you know, as a moderate Democrat, I am a moderate.
20:27
Speaker 3: I'm a moderate Democrat. He was the most left wing.
20:30
Speaker 3: He made Mom Donnie look moderate. It was Cuomo that
20:34
Speaker 3: gave us this no bail, no jail. It was Cuomo
20:37
Speaker 3: that closed the prisons. I have the video I could
20:40
Speaker 3: play his speeches where he's actually bragging that he nobody
20:44
Speaker 3: has closed more prisons than me. I means you let
20:47
Speaker 3: prisoners out. He changed the parole board, stacked it with
20:51
Speaker 3: these left wing cooks who let everybody out, including forty
20:56
Speaker 3: three cop killers. I mean, go on and on with
20:58
Speaker 3: this list again. He closed the Indian Point. That's twenty
21:01
Speaker 3: five percent of our electricity. There was no reason on
21:04
Speaker 3: earth to close the Indian Point. When he closed it,
21:06
Speaker 3: that was twenty five percent of our electricity. That's what
21:09
Speaker 3: caused your electric bills to get really high. You remember
21:12
Speaker 3: your electric bills like one hundred dollars and that it's
21:14
Speaker 3: four hundred dollars a month. Thanks Cuomo for shutting Indian Point. Now,
21:18
Speaker 3: not to mention everybody said it could cause blackouts, and
21:22
Speaker 3: it did this past week. There were a number of
21:24
Speaker 3: neighborhoods that had to be blacked out all over in
21:27
Speaker 3: New York. So, hey, that seaplane, did you see that
21:31
Speaker 3: seaplane crash? Didn't crash, It just made a hard landing
21:35
Speaker 3: right in the water. You're not supposed to land like
21:37
Speaker 3: right in the middle of the water. You're supposed to
21:39
Speaker 3: like land at the dock. That's these people in the Hamptons.
21:43
Speaker 3: They you know, there's plenty of places you can go
21:45
Speaker 3: way to on the weekend, an hour away, two hours away,
21:48
Speaker 3: but they only know the Hamptons. It can be like
21:51
Speaker 3: four hours to get back, so they take the seaplane,
21:53
Speaker 3: which can do it in forty minutes. Hampton's very nice.
21:58
Speaker 3: Not worth risking your life over helicopter or a seaplane.
22:02
Speaker 3: It's the second time I've seen one of these Hampton
22:04
Speaker 3: seaplanes end up in the water and the passengers out
22:07
Speaker 3: there swimming. Anyway, We've got a lot to get to.
22:09
Speaker 3: Don't go away, we'll hey, we'll be talked to. Michael Goodwin,
22:12
Speaker 3: the Great columnist next on seven to ten, woar.
22:18
Speaker 4: Mark Mark Simon on seven to ten, wor.
22:24
Speaker 3: Well with us right now. The finest columnist in America,
22:27
Speaker 3: Michael Goodwin, his column every Sunday and every Wednesday in
22:31
Speaker 3: the New York Post. And you can read all of
22:33
Speaker 3: his columns. They're all up on the New York Post website.
22:35
Speaker 3: Michael Goodwin, How you doing, Good morning, Mark?
22:39
Speaker 7: Thank you.
22:40
Speaker 3: Hey. What a contrast President Trump making a powerful speech
22:43
Speaker 3: about American exceptionalism versus Mom Donnie lecturing us about what
22:48
Speaker 3: America means. What did you think of those two speeches?
22:53
Speaker 9: Yeah, contrasts is the right word. I mean, there's like
22:57
Speaker 9: two different countries are talking about. But you know, Mark,
23:01
Speaker 9: my own view of all this is how what an
23:07
Speaker 9: extraordinary country we are and have been, you know, and
23:12
Speaker 9: watching the parade of the Townships and whatnot, you know,
23:17
Speaker 9: on NBC of all places, hardly a favorite of the
23:23
Speaker 9: center of the right, but it really was to me
23:28
Speaker 9: driven home by the sense that the world benefited from
23:34
Speaker 9: America's independence, right, and of course through our wars through
23:41
Speaker 9: the First World War the Second World War. What would
23:44
Speaker 9: have happened to the world had America not played as
23:48
Speaker 9: a leading role along with others, of course, but without America,
23:53
Speaker 9: the West would have lost both of those wars and
23:57
Speaker 9: yet and so I saw all these ships coming to dignitaries,
24:03
Speaker 9: the outpouring of American citizens as something of a recollection
24:10
Speaker 9: and appreciation for America's place in mankind. I mean, what
24:17
Speaker 9: the liberation the independence movement started here and spread around
24:24
Speaker 9: the world.
24:25
Speaker 7: I continue to spread. It's not down yet.
24:29
Speaker 9: Obviously there's still a China government, there's still Russians and
24:34
Speaker 9: many other places Korea for North Korea. And yet America's
24:40
Speaker 9: impact on the world in the freedom along but then
24:45
Speaker 9: the wealth creation right, the free speech, all of these
24:50
Speaker 9: things have shaped mankind in ways that I think I
24:56
Speaker 9: didn't I kind of knew, but didn't fully appreciate. And
25:00
Speaker 9: then I show this outpouring of aderation really for America
25:06
Speaker 9: and forest birth.
25:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, is it funny that we used to have to
25:12
Speaker 3: go to Vietnam to fight communism? Now we're going to
25:14
Speaker 3: do it in New York and Seattle. And that's right.
25:18
Speaker 9: We don't need a gun this time, but we can
25:20
Speaker 9: just use the ballot box.
25:23
Speaker 3: So what do you think the midterm elections? Could this
25:25
Speaker 3: be the issue that determines the midterms? Communism versus democracy
25:30
Speaker 3: could have come down to that by the fall.
25:33
Speaker 9: Look, I think that's a very big undercurrent. Whether it becomes.
25:38
Speaker 7: The main current, I don't know yet.
25:41
Speaker 9: I think it's hard too soon to say, because I
25:45
Speaker 9: think the Iran war it still hangs over the President
25:49
Speaker 9: and the Republicans in ways that are hard to reject predict.
25:54
Speaker 9: I mean, there's no time for the permanent.
25:58
Speaker 7: Piece to be made or for more war to be resumed.
26:03
Speaker 9: So I think God is kind of the wild card
26:06
Speaker 9: at this point.
26:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking Michael Goodwin. If you watch those crazy
26:10
Speaker 3: Sunday Shift, they go after the present for every single
26:13
Speaker 3: thing he does, thinking the next one will bring him down.
26:16
Speaker 3: You know, they've already tried seventeen thousand things, and they
26:19
Speaker 3: keep thinking the reflecting pooll, the crypto, something will bring
26:23
Speaker 3: him down. Shouldn't they just start to realize nothing's going
26:26
Speaker 3: to bring him down. Forget about him, just plan for
26:28
Speaker 3: the future and find some candidates.
26:31
Speaker 9: Yeah, look, this is what the left always does. It's
26:36
Speaker 9: look some of his pure politics. He sees on your
26:40
Speaker 9: opponent's weaknesses. And the difference here, of course, is the
26:46
Speaker 9: media is doing the job of the Democratic Party. The
26:51
Speaker 9: party doesn't so much stress things as it does repeat
26:56
Speaker 9: the stories that the media spreads. The media is a
27:01
Speaker 9: very important arm of the Democratic Party, particularly when it
27:06
Speaker 9: comes to going negative against Donald Trump.
27:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what do you think happens with mom Donnie.
27:14
Speaker 3: I mean, as much as he all the horrible things
27:17
Speaker 3: he says, he doesn't seem to do much. I mean
27:19
Speaker 3: there's no grocery stores, there's no free buses. It's just
27:22
Speaker 3: seems to be all talked. Does that mean we'll easily
27:24
Speaker 3: get through the next three years?
27:27
Speaker 7: I don't think so.
27:28
Speaker 9: I think the talk you mentioned Mark, I think is
27:35
Speaker 9: it's a continual campaign for him. Of course, you had
27:39
Speaker 9: his own victory, and now you have all the leftists,
27:44
Speaker 9: the socialists being elected to state legislature and Congress, and
27:50
Speaker 9: pretty soon it'll become nationalized. I think it's happening in
27:55
Speaker 9: various parts across the country.
27:57
Speaker 7: So in some ways, Mom Donnie as the leader of
28:01
Speaker 7: a new movement.
28:04
Speaker 9: Unfortunately he ticked off seeing and picked up associates. But
28:09
Speaker 9: I still don't think we have tested the core, which
28:14
Speaker 9: is can he govern? Can he make things better for
28:19
Speaker 9: the ordinary citizen, not by providing a free government grocery store,
28:25
Speaker 9: but can he keep the city safe? Can the schools
28:29
Speaker 9: go back to teaching fundamentals instead of indoctrinating kids. So
28:35
Speaker 9: I think the challenges, the real challenges are still ahead
28:40
Speaker 9: for him.
28:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we'll see. Let's get to Oram. Just for
28:46
Speaker 3: a second, if you're watching these Sunday shows the networks,
28:50
Speaker 3: it's went, we accomplished nothing in Iran truth as we
28:54
Speaker 3: crippled their military, we've shut down their economy. When you bet,
28:59
Speaker 3: then if you came back in a couple of months,
29:01
Speaker 3: it will have worked out for us that Trump will
29:03
Speaker 3: pull this off somehow, I hope.
29:06
Speaker 7: So I think that's still a possibility.
29:10
Speaker 9: But you know one factor, Mark that someone mentioned to
29:13
Speaker 9: me the other day, and I've been thinking along the
29:17
Speaker 9: same lines, which is, I don't think anybody in the
29:21
Speaker 9: Pentagon or the White House really anticipated how much pain
29:28
Speaker 9: the Iranians would be able to endure and not surrender.
29:34
Speaker 9: I mean, as you, just as you said, we knocked
29:37
Speaker 9: out so much of their military, so much of their
29:40
Speaker 9: military intrastructure.
29:43
Speaker 7: And yet they have not surrendered. They have not given up.
29:49
Speaker 9: Upon the Trump card, the nuclear issue, and of course
29:54
Speaker 9: the missiles, and of course the proxies Hamas Hezbollah.
30:00
Speaker 7: So they haven't really given up anything that we went
30:04
Speaker 7: to war over.
30:06
Speaker 9: So that's a remarkable thing. That I think kind of
30:09
Speaker 9: clouds the future of the outcome.
30:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's all true, but we kind of neutralize them.
30:16
Speaker 3: They're not going to be launching any October seventh right
30:19
Speaker 3: now in the condition they're in, are they?
30:22
Speaker 7: So I think that's a good point.
30:24
Speaker 9: But we haven't. We haven't freed their population. They're still
30:30
Speaker 9: they haven't given up rhetorically even any of their you know,
30:36
Speaker 9: kind of chaos and their Islamic revolution. They haven't modernized.
30:43
Speaker 7: Anything out their economy or their government. So they were
30:48
Speaker 7: very achievable goals when the war started, but they look
30:54
Speaker 7: less achievable now than they did then.
30:57
Speaker 9: And that to me, I think, to me and it
31:00
Speaker 9: along with the people, is probably a surprise.
31:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, although you know, we got to keep her memory.
31:05
Speaker 3: This is only a few months. This is not like
31:07
Speaker 3: five years of world you need.
31:08
Speaker 7: Two has so longer than the war.
31:13
Speaker 3: So it's only a few months. But hey, Michael Goodwin,
31:16
Speaker 3: there was no column yesterday. You ruined my whole weekend.
31:19
Speaker 3: Oh but Wednesday you'll be back.
31:24
Speaker 7: I'll be back all right.
31:25
Speaker 3: You can read them wednesday in the New York Post.
31:27
Speaker 3: Michael Goodwin, brilliant as always, Thanks for being with us,
31:31
Speaker 3: My pleasure, take care. Hey, coming up, we got a
31:35
Speaker 3: lot to get to. We'll get to Uh. Oh, we
31:37
Speaker 3: didn't even mention the fireworks, the Macy's fireworks, the Washington
31:41
Speaker 3: d C fireworks. Now supposedly those are the biggest fireworks
31:44
Speaker 3: ever in the history of America. Normally like Macy's fireworks,
31:48
Speaker 3: it's like eighty thousand fireworks. D C was eight hundred
31:51
Speaker 3: thousand of them. Uh And if you live out in
31:54
Speaker 3: the suburbs, each town did their own fireworks. It was
31:57
Speaker 3: like three was much of anything. But they were pretty spectacular.
32:03
Speaker 3: This fireworks on TV. But we'll get to that. Coming up.
32:07
Speaker 3: We'll get to President Trump and a big day to
32:10
Speaker 3: day for Wall Street. He rang the opening bell first
32:13
Speaker 3: day of the Trump accounts. We've got a lot to
32:15
Speaker 3: talk about, So don't go away to Mark Simone here
32:18
Speaker 3: every day ten to noon, and then at noon you
32:20
Speaker 3: got Buck Sexton and Klay Travis with a great show
32:23
Speaker 3: every day. Then at three o'clock they'll most listen to
32:26
Speaker 3: radio show in America. Sean Hannity, who covered listening today,
32:30
Speaker 3: he was there for the fireworks both nights. He was
32:33
Speaker 3: there at Mount Rushmore. He'll be here today to talk
32:36
Speaker 3: about it, and then at six o'clock he got Jesse Kelly.

Speaker 9: Mark Simons on WR.
32:51
Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say, it's not a great day,
32:54
Speaker 3: but hey, I'll pick this over the heat wave. That
32:57
Speaker 3: was brutal. That heatwavely brutal. Now today it's gonna be
33:03
Speaker 3: rainy all throughout the day. A couple of times today
33:06
Speaker 3: it'll rain, and I don't know, it doesn't look that
33:10
Speaker 3: bad as far as the rain here, but it's gonna
33:12
Speaker 3: get worse apparently. The mayor and other officials warning of
33:16
Speaker 3: flooding and that kind of stuff, all kinds of warnings
33:19
Speaker 3: about there could be flooding later today. So bear that
33:22
Speaker 3: in mind. So be a rainy, rainy day today and tonight,
33:26
Speaker 3: and then tomorrow rain but a lot less rain. It'll
33:29
Speaker 3: be tapering off tomorrow. Wednesday looks like the best day
33:31
Speaker 3: of the week. Wednesday. Thursday should be nice, and then
33:34
Speaker 3: weekend should be fine. It should be like normal temperatures.
33:38
Speaker 3: That heat wave. We've had those before. I mean they're
33:41
Speaker 3: like once every ten years you get a heat wave
33:43
Speaker 3: like that, but I hope that's it for this summer.
33:47
Speaker 3: We'll get to in the next hour a lot of
33:49
