- 0:01Speaker 1: Now seven wor presents no Mark sim own Shaw.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Well, hey, we've got a lot to get to. The
- 0:11Speaker 2: President has landed. He's in China. Grand entrance, red carpet,
- 0:16Speaker 2: all that stuff. The big banquet is later tonight, although
- 0:19Speaker 2: with the time difference it's more like tomorrow morning for us.
- 0:24Speaker 2: We'll get to that. We'll get to Cash. Brittel was
- 0:26Speaker 2: great in front of the Congress. You know, Democrats are
- 0:30Speaker 2: great at doing hearings. They know how to really bash
- 0:33Speaker 2: and trash somebody in a hearing. So Cash Purtel was
- 0:37Speaker 2: the target, but he fought back pretty good. Also, we'll
- 0:41Speaker 2: get to crazy Mom, Donnie, his new budget. We'll get
- 0:44Speaker 2: to Colbert. He's going off the air a week from tomorrow.
- 0:47Speaker 2: That'll be the end of this national nightmare. Also, Kevin Neilan.
- 0:54Speaker 2: I love Kevin Nelan. He'll be with us a little
- 0:56Speaker 2: later this hour. So the President is landed in China.
- 1:01Speaker 2: He's got sixteen of the biggest CEOs in the world.
- 1:04Speaker 2: He's got Tim Cook, he's got chairman of Boeing, He's
- 1:07Speaker 2: got Steve Schwarzman Blackstone, the biggest hedge fund on earth.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Got all sorts of guys. Somehow, Brett Ratner the Hollywood
- 1:18Speaker 2: producer director who was ostracized in twenty seventeen, almost ten
- 1:23Speaker 2: years ago, for sec He was accused of all kinds
- 1:26Speaker 2: of sexual harassment, sexual abuse. He was a big, big
- 1:29Speaker 2: figure in Hollywood, big producer director. But with all that
- 1:33Speaker 2: sexual harassment accusation stuff, he was banned from Hollywood. That's it.
- 1:37Speaker 2: He went back to Florida, where he's from. He's been
- 1:39Speaker 2: hiding out there for years, trying to make a comeback
- 1:42Speaker 2: somehow somewhere. But he's the guy that did that Milania
- 1:46Speaker 2: documentary for Netflix. He was the producer. He did a
- 1:50Speaker 2: pretty good job. Amy is good that stuff. So I
- 1:54Speaker 2: guess that got him in with the Trumps and somehow
- 1:57Speaker 2: he's on the flight. Somehow he got in this bunch.
- 2:01Speaker 2: You got the biggest CEOs in the world, and there's
- 2:03Speaker 2: a scruffy Brett Ratner in the group. Now he's supposedly
- 2:07Speaker 2: he's in China because he's doing some kind of documentary
- 2:09Speaker 2: about China and he's scouting locations. That's what he says.
- 2:14Speaker 2: He's another one of those guys that unfortunately ended up
- 2:16Speaker 2: in the Epstein files not so great. So the President
- 2:20Speaker 2: will be there for a couple of days there's lots
- 2:22Speaker 2: to talk about, obviously Iran, although President says, no, we
- 2:27Speaker 2: have a lot of things.
- 2:30Speaker 3: I wouldn't say Iran is one of them, to be honest,
- 2:33Speaker 3: because we have a ran.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Very much, and he ConTroll that's of course not true.
- 2:39Speaker 2: You know, he's gonna be meeting with President She They're
- 2:41Speaker 2: gonna be talking for hours. Obviously Iran will come up.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Obviously it'll be a topic. Now. The problem is China
- 2:48Speaker 2: wants Taiwan, so they might want to trade permission to
- 2:51Speaker 2: go into Taiwan in exchange for their help with Iran.
- 2:56Speaker 2: But the President, the great negotiator, he'll make a good deal.
- 2:59Speaker 2: And he got a little flak yesterday. Not really, he
- 3:03Speaker 2: just he said the wrong thing. But it's the media.
- 3:07Speaker 2: When he says the wrong thing, they go crazy. This
- 3:11Speaker 2: is all they talk about. They'll be all over it
- 3:13Speaker 2: for the next couple of days. If you're watching CNN
- 3:16Speaker 2: or MSMBC, this is all you're going to hear about.
- 3:19Speaker 2: They asked him about we're talking about a ram. They said,
- 3:22Speaker 2: aren't you concerned about American's financial situation? I guess, meaning
- 3:27Speaker 2: the prices have gone up because of the war, And
- 3:29Speaker 2: he said, no, I'm not concerned about American's financial situation.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Now that's the quote. Well, it sounds horrible, it sounds
- 3:37Speaker 2: tone deaf, it sounds awful. He's not concerned about America's
- 3:41Speaker 2: financial situation. Well, how could this be? Well, obviously we
- 3:46Speaker 2: know what he meant, and it's it's a political reporters,
- 3:48Speaker 2: so they always look to do a gotcha and if
- 3:51Speaker 2: you say the wrong thing, that's it. We got him.
- 3:54Speaker 2: They never actually follow up and try to figure out
- 3:56Speaker 2: what are you at, what do you actually mean? And
- 3:59Speaker 2: then if they had asked him, he would have explained carefully,
- 4:02Speaker 2: and everybody knows what he meant. This Warren Iran is
- 4:05Speaker 2: crucial to get rid of their nuclear weapons. We can't
- 4:08Speaker 2: let them have nuclear weapons. That's the whole point of
- 4:11Speaker 2: this national security and I'm not gonna use politics to
- 4:15Speaker 2: make decisions on national security. Politics doesn't come into play here. Obviously,
- 4:19Speaker 2: he's concerned about americans financial situation at all times. It's
- 4:23Speaker 2: all he's been talking about for ten years. It's all
- 4:26Speaker 2: he's been talking about in the campaigns, all that. So
- 4:30Speaker 2: he just it just came out wrong again. The reporter,
- 4:33Speaker 2: you know, they always do a million follow ups when
- 4:36Speaker 2: the wrong thing comes out of his mouth. No follow
- 4:38Speaker 2: ups because they can take that quote and use it,
- 4:40Speaker 2: so you'll see it all over. There's Jake Tapper going
- 4:43Speaker 2: nuts over it, there's the amiss now anchors going crazy
- 4:46Speaker 2: over it. But we know what he meant, so uh
- 4:50Speaker 2: Cash Patel testifying in front of Congress. Now you know
- 4:54Speaker 2: he's been accused of drinking and getting drunk and partying.
- 4:59Speaker 2: And why we is he at the Stanley Cup Championship?
- 5:03Speaker 2: Why was it the hockey games? And remember the picture
- 5:07Speaker 2: him celebrating with the team with the Stanley Cup with
- 5:10Speaker 2: the hockey or what was it the Olympic hockey hockey team.
- 5:12Speaker 2: I think that's what it was. Why is he in
- 5:14Speaker 2: the locker room? It looked you're supposed to be the
- 5:19Speaker 2: FBI director. What are you doing in the locker room
- 5:21Speaker 2: of a hockey team? What are you doing within the
- 5:23Speaker 2: clubhouse with the hockey players? You know? Look terrible, Except
- 5:28Speaker 2: I'm watching Greg Kelly Reports last night, a Newsmax, and
- 5:31Speaker 2: he opens with this story and then he shows a
- 5:34Speaker 2: million clips photos, film clips of Robert Muller with the
- 5:39Speaker 2: hockey team, Robert Muller in the locker room, Jim Comey
- 5:43Speaker 2: with the hockey team. Apparently every FBI director they got
- 5:47Speaker 2: something about hockey. With the FBI, they're always hanging around
- 5:50Speaker 2: in hockey clubhouses and locker rooms. They're always at the
- 5:54Speaker 2: finals of the hockey game. But he showed all these
- 5:57Speaker 2: There's Muller doing it, there's a Christopher Ray doing it,
- 6:00Speaker 2: there's Komy doing it. This is every FBI director doing it.
- 6:03Speaker 2: There they are all posing with the Stanley Cup. So
- 6:06Speaker 2: again it's the double standard, the hypocrisy democrats are famous for.
- 6:11Speaker 2: So don't blame cash Battel. You know that's a good show,
- 6:14Speaker 2: Greg Kelly reports News Max. But why did I have
- 6:17Speaker 2: to wait till that to find out? How come nobody
- 6:20Speaker 2: else did this story? When they're all going after cash
- 6:24Speaker 2: Battel for being at the hockey playoff, why didn't they
- 6:27Speaker 2: show the pictures of Muller, call me, Christoph Ray and
- 6:30Speaker 2: all the other FBI directors doing the same thing. So
- 6:32Speaker 2: they're yelling and screaming at him that he's a drunk,
- 6:34Speaker 2: he's drinking, he's a drinking problem, and he's denying it.
- 6:38Speaker 2: There is this one guy Van Holland, and he's accused
- 6:43Speaker 2: a Cash Battel of having a real drinking problem. Drinking
- 6:46Speaker 2: all day. Why isn't he work? Why is he drinking?
- 6:48Speaker 2: But he forgets this guy's the FBI director. He can
- 6:52Speaker 2: get all kinds of intel. So he finds out Man
- 6:54Speaker 2: Holland is in bars drinking all day with his staff,
- 6:57Speaker 2: and this is the FBI director. He's got seats, he's
- 7:01Speaker 2: got photographs, he's got it documented. So listen to Van
- 7:04Speaker 2: Holland try to get him.
- 7:05Speaker 3: These are serious allegations that were made against you. Are
- 7:09Speaker 3: full filed.
- 7:10Speaker 1: You drinking Margarita's with a young actually just goes to
- 7:13Speaker 1: show you running a seven thousand dollar bar tab at
- 7:15Speaker 1: the lobby bar, but has been filed by your own
- 7:18Speaker 1: office during the day. That's you an ultimate example of Apocryphairman.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I will not be tarnished by basis allegation.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Let me statements from the media.
- 7:29Speaker 3: The fact that you mentioned that indicates you don't know
- 7:33Speaker 3: what you are talking about. Now you're directly thing I know.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Is you're the one drinking Rugarita's with film.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Actually that's a false statement, and I'm asking you about
- 7:41Speaker 3: your statements.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Well, that's pretty good cash Pattel there to have all
- 7:46Speaker 2: that ready. And that's the FBI director says he's got documents, says,
- 7:49Speaker 2: he's got receipts, So I think we should go public
- 7:55Speaker 2: with all this. Put them, put them all out, let's
- 7:56Speaker 2: see all the information now. Then he keeps going after Patel.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Are you willing to take the test that it's called
- 8:03Speaker 3: the audit test that members of our actor do, the
- 8:07Speaker 3: military and others take to determine whether they have a
- 8:10Speaker 3: drinking problem.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I'll take any test you're willing to take.
- 8:13Speaker 3: I will take it. Director, I'll take it.
- 8:16Speaker 2: You ready to take it?
- 8:17Speaker 3: Let's go, yes or no?
- 8:18Speaker 2: Let's go side by side. Have you ever heard of
- 8:22Speaker 2: this the audit test that tells if you got a
- 8:24Speaker 2: drinking problem. I know you can get a breathalyzer, I'll
- 8:27Speaker 2: tell you if you've got alcohol on you right then
- 8:28Speaker 2: and there. But an audit test. I guess it's some
- 8:31Speaker 2: kind of test that can do something in your body
- 8:34Speaker 2: and figure out your drinking history. I've never heard of
- 8:37Speaker 2: this test ever, but I think Petel's got a good
- 8:41Speaker 2: idea there. Put out all the receipts of Van Holland
- 8:44Speaker 2: drinking and then have them both do it live on
- 8:47Speaker 2: a TV show. Do it live, have them both take
- 8:50Speaker 2: the test at the same time. Be pretty interesting. Now
- 8:54Speaker 2: the Democrats will probably want to do it on Colbert,
- 8:57Speaker 2: or they'll want to do it on Seth Meyers Show,
- 8:59Speaker 2: because nobody else see it. It's a tiny, tiny audience.
- 9:02Speaker 2: People will see it. Hey, speaking to which Colbert goes
- 9:06Speaker 2: off the air a week from tomorrow. It'll be Thursday night.
- 9:13Speaker 2: He doesn't usually do a Friday show. A lot of
- 9:15Speaker 2: these shows, you know, they're not making any money. In fact,
- 9:19Speaker 2: Colbert loses about forty million a year. The show's a
- 9:22Speaker 2: total disaster ratings and revenue wise, as is Kimmel and
- 9:26Speaker 2: Fallon's doing pretty bad. So what they've done a lot
- 9:29Speaker 2: of cutbacks over the years because they're all losing money.
- 9:32Speaker 2: They only do four shows a week, sometimes three. The
- 9:34Speaker 2: other nights they do rerun, so actually for a long
- 9:37Speaker 2: time there's been no Friday night show on Colbert just
- 9:40Speaker 2: to rerun, so Thursday will be the last night. And
- 9:44Speaker 2: it was interesting this week he did a show where
- 9:47Speaker 2: all the talk show hosts, all the late night hosts
- 9:51Speaker 2: came on to show solidarity, so that you can see
- 9:54Speaker 2: the pictures all of them together. It's Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon
- 10:02Speaker 2: and then somehow they get the B team. John Oliver
- 10:06Speaker 2: has got like twelve viewers, and Seth Myers has got
- 10:09Speaker 2: like eight viewers. But somehow they got in there. Now
- 10:12Speaker 2: they all happen to be in town. They're doing what's
- 10:14Speaker 2: called the Upfronts. That's where the networks do their presentations
- 10:17Speaker 2: for advertisers, and they bring in all their big stars
- 10:21Speaker 2: into New York for these events this week. So that's
- 10:24Speaker 2: why they were all in town. Now they've all fallon
- 10:28Speaker 2: and Jimmy Kimmel have said they'll they'll run a rerun
- 10:31Speaker 2: Thursday night just to help out Colbert's final shows. They're
- 10:36Speaker 2: going to run a rerun so that everybody will watch Colbert. Also,
- 10:41Speaker 2: they don't mention this, but their shows are losing a fortune,
- 10:44Speaker 2: and anytime they cannot do a show, it saves a
- 10:46Speaker 2: lot of money because not only don't they get much advertising,
- 10:50Speaker 2: it costs a lot of money just to put on
- 10:54Speaker 2: one of those shows. You know, the audience is like
- 10:55Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty people, so you got to bring
- 10:58Speaker 2: them into the building. It means you got to have,
- 10:59Speaker 2: like you've got twenty five ushers you got to hire
- 11:02Speaker 2: to take care of the audience. You got to have
- 11:04Speaker 2: a band, you got to have a big, huge crew.
- 11:06Speaker 2: There's like one hundred and ten people that work on
- 11:08Speaker 2: these late night shows. Colbert has one hundred and ten people.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Greg Guttfeld gets three times the ratings, triple the ratings,
- 11:18Speaker 2: and he's got twelve people that work on the show.
- 11:21Speaker 2: The whole show is four people sitting in chairs talking.
- 11:23Speaker 2: That's all you need, and it gets three times the
- 11:26Speaker 2: rating of Colbert. It makes a lot more money. They
- 11:30Speaker 2: have an audience, but it's a small audience. It's like,
- 11:32Speaker 2: you know, thirty five people, maybe a lot easier to
- 11:35Speaker 2: put that show on. So when Colbert goes off the air,
- 11:39Speaker 2: he's going to be replaced by Byron Allen Show, which
- 11:42Speaker 2: is the same format as Colbert. Just some people comedians
- 11:46Speaker 2: sitting in chairs talking. No audience or a very small audience.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Be easier to produce, no band, none of that stuff,
- 11:53Speaker 2: and it'll get triple the ratings of Colbert. So it's
- 11:58Speaker 2: going to be great to see him finally go off
- 11:59Speaker 2: the Hey. Speaking of talk show host Conan O'Brien, it
- 12:03Speaker 2: was just announced will be the Oscar host next year.
- 12:07Speaker 2: That's three years in a row. That's a big thing.
- 12:10Speaker 2: That's three years in a row. It's not as big
- 12:12Speaker 2: as it used to be. Being the host of the
- 12:14Speaker 2: Oscars used to be the single biggest thing you could
- 12:17Speaker 2: do in all of show business. If you were named
- 12:20Speaker 2: the host of the Oscars, that was the only the
- 12:23Speaker 2: biggest name. Ever. Well, there's not really any there's no
- 12:27Speaker 2: such thing anymore. You know, back in those days, in
- 12:29Speaker 2: the fifties and sixties, Bob Hope was the biggest star
- 12:32Speaker 2: in the world. Everybody knew him. The seventies, Johnny Carson
- 12:36Speaker 2: biggest star in the world. Everybody knew him. But you
- 12:38Speaker 2: can't do that much anymore. There's no who could you
- 12:41Speaker 2: have that everybody in the world would know. It's I mean,
- 12:48Speaker 2: you know, older people don't know these people. Younger people
- 12:51Speaker 2: don't know those people. So Conan O'Brien was pretty good.
- 12:54Speaker 2: It was, you know, younger, sort of youngish, but also
- 12:59Speaker 2: sort of old school professional. So three years in a row.
- 13:05Speaker 2: Next year it's on ABC, the year after it's on ABC,
- 13:08Speaker 2: and then the Oscars go to YouTube. It's hard to believe,
- 13:12Speaker 2: but it'll be on YouTube after that. Hey, coming up,
- 13:15Speaker 2: we'll get to this, We'll get to mom Donnie's crazy budget.
- 13:19Speaker 2: It's just crazy, and then how much they're spending it's
- 13:21Speaker 2: been going on for years, so it's not just him.
- 13:23Speaker 2: But he had that big budget gap, but he got
- 13:27Speaker 2: several billion from Kathy Hokel really add just an out
- 13:29Speaker 2: and out bribe. She needs his voters because she's got
- 13:33Speaker 2: a tough race against Bruce Blakeman, so she's buying his
- 13:36Speaker 2: voters and his support. He'll help her out in the campaign,
- 13:41Speaker 2: and that's why she gave him the money. The budget
- 13:43Speaker 2: is probably double what it should be. You could cut
- 13:45Speaker 2: it in half if you got some doged people in there.
- 13:49Speaker 2: We waste all the money in the budget. Here's another one.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Look at this our schools. We're spending forty four thousand
- 13:56Speaker 2: of pupil in our public schools in New York, forty
- 13:59Speaker 2: four thousand a pupil, and these are terrible schools. Nobody
- 14:03Speaker 2: learns anything. When you measure the success of the schools,
- 14:07Speaker 2: their absolute disaster forty four thousand a student. Private schools
- 14:12Speaker 2: who get incredible results are spending half that, twenty two
- 14:15Speaker 2: thousand a student. So it's a total waste of money.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Board of Education in New York as layers and layers
- 14:21Speaker 2: and layers of bureaucracy that does absolutely nothing. So every
- 14:26Speaker 2: time you throw a dollar into the Board of Education.
- 14:29Speaker 2: By the time it goes through those layers, maybe four
- 14:31Speaker 2: cents gets to the classroom. So we just let this
- 14:35Speaker 2: go on forever and ever, overpaying for everything, wasting all
- 14:38Speaker 2: the money. But we'll get to that. We'll get to
- 14:40Speaker 2: these terrible, terrible anti Semitic riots that are taking place,
- 14:44Speaker 2: and Mom, Donnie and Schumer and others looking the other
- 14:47Speaker 2: way and allowing it. We'll get to all of that
- 14:49Speaker 2: coming up. We'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three
- 14:52Speaker 2: to two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight
- 14:56Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten.
