0:00
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: amone on seven tenor Hey, we got a lot to
0:19
Speaker 2: get to today. We're starting early from now on nine
0:23
Speaker 2: to noon, every day, nine to noon. So we'll get
0:25
Speaker 2: to a crazy little doctor Fauci, he's got a lot
0:28
Speaker 2: of legal trouble ahead of him. We'll get to President
0:32
Speaker 2: Trump and Janine Piro, the latest on that fight. We'll
0:35
Speaker 2: get to mayor mom, Donnie getting booed off the stage
0:39
Speaker 2: last night. We'll get to hey, there's some AI developments
0:44
Speaker 2: that might change the way you think about it. And
0:46
Speaker 2: we'll get to well, lots of stuff. The Medicaid fraud
0:51
Speaker 2: is out of control. They've discovered a lot of it.
0:55
Speaker 2: Now here's an important thing that nobody ever talks about. Now,
1:00
Speaker 2: this is actual statistics, government statistics. People now pay more
1:06
Speaker 2: in taxes than they do for food, clothing, and shelter.
1:11
Speaker 2: So when Democrats are whoever, when they talk about affordability,
1:15
Speaker 2: the affordability crisis, the main culprit of that is taxes,
1:20
Speaker 2: state government, local, federal taxes. It's the number one expense
1:25
Speaker 2: people have. That was never the case before, but taxes
1:29
Speaker 2: have been creeping up, not under Trump so much, but
1:32
Speaker 2: over the years. And the affordability crisis is pretty much
1:36
Speaker 2: caused by taxes. Let me just repeat that we pay
1:40
Speaker 2: more in taxes. People pay more in taxes than they
1:43
Speaker 2: do for food, clothing, and shelter. Over about a twenty
1:48
Speaker 2: year period, income tax has gone up about sixty percent.
1:52
Speaker 2: Corporate tax has gone up about one hundred and twenty percent.
1:55
Speaker 2: That's passed on to the consumers. Now, this is from
1:58
Speaker 2: the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. You're paying more in
2:03
Speaker 2: taxes than ever before, ever before. It is out of control.
2:11
Speaker 2: Now one reason for that is government spending is out
2:13
Speaker 2: of control. Now, if you cut you could actually just
2:16
Speaker 2: fix government spending, not completely, just fix a lot of
2:20
Speaker 2: it like Elon Musk was doing. And then you could
2:22
Speaker 2: cut everybody's taxes in half, everybody's taxes down fifty percent,
2:28
Speaker 2: and you wouldn't. I mean, most of this is just
2:30
Speaker 2: wasting fraud, that medicaid fraud that's going on. They just
2:34
Speaker 2: started looking at it. The Vice President's task force just
2:38
Speaker 2: started looking at it, and already they found a quarter
2:41
Speaker 2: of a trillion dollars just being wasted. Here's the Vice President.
2:45
Speaker 1: That we have been able to identify two hundred and
2:48
Speaker 1: thirty billion dollars of fraud just since.
2:51
Speaker 2: The Fraud Task Force was set up.
2:53
Speaker 1: And that's frankly, by conservatively estimating it.
2:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, so give it another few months, it's going to
2:58
Speaker 2: be five hundred billion. And if they keep going for
3:01
Speaker 2: another year, they'll probably find close to a trillion dollars
3:04
Speaker 2: in total fraud. Medicaid fraud, now, these are medicaid payments
3:07
Speaker 2: that are sent out to these centers that put in
3:10
Speaker 2: for these government reimbursements. I don't know why the government
3:14
Speaker 2: does and hasn't done this, but some reporters, usually freelancers,
3:19
Speaker 2: go out and look at this medicaid center. It's getting
3:22
Speaker 2: ten million in reimbursements and it's a closed storefront. There's
3:25
Speaker 2: nobody there, there's nothing there. It's total fraud. So you
3:28
Speaker 2: could start eliminating all this and at some point get
3:31
Speaker 2: to the government overspending for everything. They just overpay for everything.
3:37
Speaker 2: You can cut everybody's taxes by probably two thirds if
3:40
Speaker 2: you wanted to, But that's the number one expense, the
3:43
Speaker 2: number one cause of affordability crisis. Taxes. You're paying more
3:47
Speaker 2: in taxes than for food, clothing, and shelter right now.
3:50
Speaker 2: It's absolutely out of control. So President Trump met with
3:55
Speaker 2: Jinine Piro, as you heard, and it was a a
3:58
Speaker 2: lot of yelling and screaming, and he really went after her.
4:02
Speaker 2: But apparently in the meeting, now she came with a
4:05
Speaker 2: two big, big boxes of documents. One had to be
4:09
Speaker 2: on wheels, it was so big, and she showed him
4:12
Speaker 2: the evidence that she had that the Department of Interior
4:17
Speaker 2: was wrong about the vandalism, and basically what happened in
4:20
Speaker 2: the meeting. She tried to pin the whole thing on
4:22
Speaker 2: Doug Bergham, and Bergham apparently tried to defend himself but
4:30
Speaker 2: didn't do that well. She was just pointing out and
4:33
Speaker 2: had documents to back it up that a lot of
4:37
Speaker 2: this case about the vandalism was misinformation from the Department
4:41
Speaker 2: of the Interior and the park Police, which are under Bergham,
4:47
Speaker 2: that gave the wrong information and it was just bad info.
4:51
Speaker 2: And she found that out. She realized this whole thing
4:53
Speaker 2: was gonna get tossed out of court, so she withdrew
4:56
Speaker 2: it first. Now how effective she was in making this argument,
4:59
Speaker 2: we don't know yet, but we'll find out. Because President
5:03
Speaker 2: Trump said he's weighing the whole thing right now, So
5:07
Speaker 2: she really went after Bergham in the meeting. Now, he's
5:11
Speaker 2: known her, Janeine Piro for close to forty years, close close.
5:17
Speaker 2: The families have been close. Jeanine Piro's longtime husband was
5:21
Speaker 2: Trump's attorney for many, many, many years, handling a lot
5:24
Speaker 2: of his real estate deal especially in Westchester. Now that's
5:29
Speaker 2: a much much longer deeper connection than Doug Bergham has,
5:32
Speaker 2: who's only known Trump two years, three years. So we'll see,
5:36
Speaker 2: we'll see how effective it was. He's mulling it over,
5:39
Speaker 2: he said, which means, you know, sometimes you really go
5:44
Speaker 2: after somebody in a meeting and it's not till a
5:48
Speaker 2: day or two later you're planting the seeds. And then
5:51
Speaker 2: it's a day or two later when the guy realizing,
5:53
Speaker 2: you know what, you were right. So we'll see what
5:55
Speaker 2: happens with her and Bergham. Anthony Fauci as we speak,
6:00
Speaker 2: Senate Committee is holding hearings on holding him in contempt.
6:06
Speaker 2: Most likely they will hold him in contempt to Congress.
6:09
Speaker 2: They'll have to deal with that. Remember when he showed
6:11
Speaker 2: up for his hearings, he showed up with six attorneys
6:14
Speaker 2: with him. He's probably gonna need sixty now once they
6:16
Speaker 2: hold him in contempt. The other problem he's got is
6:20
Speaker 2: in Florida. The Florida Attorney General is going after Fauci,
6:26
Speaker 2: absolutely going after Fauci. The Florida Attorney General is open
6:32
Speaker 2: an active investigation into Fauci. No, I have it into Fauci.
6:39
Speaker 2: This is what was his name, Uttemeyer. He's the Florida
6:44
Speaker 2: Attorney General, and they have slapped him with a subpoena.
6:48
Speaker 1: Take a listen, and we're really focused in on his
6:51
Speaker 1: self dealing. Evidence has come to light that he was
6:54
Speaker 1: trying to personally profit off of this. This is outside
6:57
Speaker 1: of his government duties, his official role. He's trying to
7:01
Speaker 1: pursue book deals, awards, get connected with high rollers that
7:06
Speaker 1: might help him come into millions and millions of dollars.
7:09
Speaker 1: This is wrong and it could go towards a deceptive
7:12
Speaker 1: trade practice, fraud, public nuisance, you name it. I think
7:15
Speaker 1: there's many aspects of Florida law that now are implicated.
7:18
Speaker 2: Now that they're going to prove. I don't know if
7:19
Speaker 2: it's a crime. I mean it should be, but we'll see.
7:22
Speaker 2: But they are going to prove that Fauci was a profiteer.
7:25
Speaker 2: He was profiting off this with deals with drug companies,
7:29
Speaker 2: and there are cash awarding there's awards and prizes that
7:33
Speaker 2: pay cash, and he actively had his chief of staff
7:37
Speaker 2: and as a personal assistant GOV who worked for the government,
7:40
Speaker 2: out there soliciting those on his behalf. You're not supposed
7:43
Speaker 2: to do that, if you're holding public office, you're not
7:45
Speaker 2: supposed to solicit money or awards like that. But he
7:49
Speaker 2: did do it. So this is Florida Attorney General is
7:51
Speaker 2: going after him.
7:51
Speaker 1: Oh, we issued a formal subpoena to doctor Fauci under
7:55
Speaker 1: Florida state law, seeking a breadth of documents ranging to
7:59
Speaker 1: what he knew when he knew it, his doubts about
8:02
Speaker 1: the safety and efficacy of vaccines that he's out there promoting.
8:06
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, by the way, the Senate Committee also has
8:10
Speaker 2: gotten a hold of Fauci's cell phone, the one he
8:13
Speaker 2: used during the period of the lockdown and the pandemic,
8:18
Speaker 2: the height of it. So I'm assume that's a government
8:20
Speaker 2: phone and he had to turn it in when he left.
8:22
Speaker 2: But they've got the cell phone, they'll go through it
8:24
Speaker 2: and pull the data out of it, and I think
8:27
Speaker 2: you're going to find He spent all day every day
8:31
Speaker 2: calling the celebrities, fake news anchors, trying to talk to them.
8:36
Speaker 2: We told you yesterday he was so madly in love
8:39
Speaker 2: with Joan Biez, carrying on this phone affair with her
8:45
Speaker 2: and then just writing about it in his diary. He
8:48
Speaker 2: was all excited. He was talking to Barbara Streisand and
8:51
Speaker 2: Julia Roberts. He was writing in his diary about how
8:54
Speaker 2: exciting it was to have dinner with Jake Tapper. Can
8:59
Speaker 2: you imagine in finding Jake Tapper exciting? What is wrong
9:02
Speaker 2: with this guy? So the Florida Attorney General is going
9:05
Speaker 2: to go after all of.
9:06
Speaker 1: This government officials. They have a lot of immunities, they
9:08
Speaker 1: have protections when they're doing their job. But when somebody
9:11
Speaker 1: like doctor Fauci is lying and deceiving the American people,
9:15
Speaker 1: pushing out directives and mandates that he privately questions as
9:19
Speaker 1: unsafe and he's deriving a profit from it, that raises
9:22
Speaker 1: larger legal questions.
9:24
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, most likely they'll get him under oath, he'll
9:26
Speaker 2: have to testify, and I imagine they'll take the Fifth
9:29
Speaker 2: Amendment another couple hundred times.
9:31
Speaker 1: And we want to find out at the end of
9:32
Speaker 1: the day, you know, was he pursuing profit or was
9:36
Speaker 1: he trying to protect the people of Florida. And his
9:38
Speaker 1: diary it screams of fame and fortune. You know, he's
9:42
Speaker 1: doubting the risks of myocarditis. He's frustrated that Florida is
9:47
Speaker 1: not following his directives so much so that he traveled down.
9:50
Speaker 1: He did news hits, radio hits, he went down with
9:52
Speaker 1: Jill Biden all the while. We now know privately he
9:56
Speaker 1: has a lot of doubts about safety.
9:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's gonna have a problem. And this is
10:02
Speaker 2: just Florida. It'd be other states that'll jump in on this.
10:06
Speaker 2: Expect Texas to come next, in some other states. So
10:09
Speaker 2: he had six attorneys at the hearing. He's probably gonna
10:12
Speaker 2: need another couple dozen to get him through this. So
10:16
Speaker 2: Fauci will be busy for the next few years working
10:19
Speaker 2: on this. And you'll notice the biggest publicity hound in history,
10:24
Speaker 2: beating Chuck Schumer's record for chasing TV cameras around. You'll
10:28
Speaker 2: notice since the hearing, he's not appeared on TV. And
10:32
Speaker 2: I'm sure every NET, CNN, MSNBC, I'm sure they're all
10:36
Speaker 2: calling him. He's refusing to do TV shows that's when
10:40
Speaker 2: you know he's they really got him. When a worm
10:43
Speaker 2: like that, a publicity hound like that, refuses to do interviews,
10:47
Speaker 2: you know he's in real trouble. And that's good news.
10:52
Speaker 2: So you know, everybody's worried about AI. We were talking
10:55
Speaker 2: about on the show yesterday. That's all you keep thinking
10:57
Speaker 2: is that AI. Everybody's gonna lose their job. You're all
10:59
Speaker 2: going to be out, nobody's going to have any kind
11:02
Speaker 2: of AI will take over everything. Well, there's some problems
11:06
Speaker 2: with that. AI costs are now going up up, up.
11:10
Speaker 2: A lot of employers sometimes for something switching back to
11:14
Speaker 2: humans because it's actually cheaper. Now, you saw that SpaceX.
11:20
Speaker 2: You know that's the hottest stock SpaceX. It opened at
11:23
Speaker 2: whatever was one hundred and thirteen, went to two hundred.
11:26
Speaker 2: It was a one hundred and twenty five hundred and
11:28
Speaker 2: thirty and it went to two hundred. Well, it took
11:30
Speaker 2: a big drop yesterday, a huge drop which shocked everybody.
11:35
Speaker 2: It dropped way below the IPO price. Now why did
11:38
Speaker 2: SpaceX take such a huge drop. Well, they had the
11:41
Speaker 2: report earnings in the conference call and all that, and
11:43
Speaker 2: it turned out their AI costs were through the roof
11:47
Speaker 2: they were ridiculously high the AI costs, and that caused
11:52
Speaker 2: the drop. So you're going to see this with a
11:56
Speaker 2: lot of companies. They're going to start switching some stuff
11:58
Speaker 2: back to people. Now, when you use AI, you know,
12:02
Speaker 2: it does not costing us a fortune. But when you're
12:04
Speaker 2: a business, you got to put in all kinds of
12:06
Speaker 2: AI systems and software and infrastructure to do it. And
12:12
Speaker 2: the AI companies, you know, you keep hearing about these
12:14
Speaker 2: data centers, all the controversy with them. The thing that's
12:17
Speaker 2: not getting reported is the ridiculously high cost of these
12:21
Speaker 2: data centers for the companies. It's unbelievable. Now, within the
12:27
Speaker 2: next four or five years, these AI companies will spend
12:33
Speaker 2: six trillion dollars on infrastructure. That's a staggering amount. Six
12:39
Speaker 2: trillion now just to build all of this stuff so
12:44
Speaker 2: far that you're seeing these data centers, they've already spent
12:46
Speaker 2: about six hundred and fifty billion. These are these AI
12:50
Speaker 2: companies and all the big tech companies. So when they
12:53
Speaker 2: spend six hundred and fifty billion on all this AI infrastructure,
12:57
Speaker 2: data centers, all that stuff, it gets past the long
13:00
Speaker 2: to the businesses using it. So the AI costs are
13:03
Speaker 2: absolutely ridiculous, just staggering. So some companies switching back to
13:09
Speaker 2: humans when they can, just to save all those crazy
13:14
Speaker 2: AI costs. Hey, this is interesting. Zora and Mamdani are
13:19
Speaker 2: a silly little mayor goes to Staten Island and it's
13:23
Speaker 2: a police event. It's put on by the NYPD. It's
13:25
Speaker 2: an anti crime event. About three thousand people are there
13:28
Speaker 2: in the audience and Mam Donni decides he'll come and
13:31
Speaker 2: he'll speak at this police event, this anti crime event.
13:36
Speaker 2: He gets up on stage, the crowd starts booing and
13:41
Speaker 2: really booing, and they actually boot him off the stage.
13:44
Speaker 2: He had to flee, he had to run, He had
13:47
Speaker 2: to leave the stage. He was supposed to make a speech,
13:50
Speaker 2: but the whole thing lasted less than a minute. As
13:54
Speaker 2: he comes up there, they boo him like crazy. Within
13:57
Speaker 2: a minute he's gone. He's in the car and tearing
14:00
Speaker 2: away from Staten Island, racing to the bridge to get
14:03
Speaker 2: the hell out of there. He was booed off the stage.
14:07
Speaker 2: Congratulations Staten Island. You did the right thing. And it's
14:11
Speaker 2: got to happen everywhere now. So I don't know what
14:16
Speaker 2: it means to him. I mean, he's kind of a silly,
14:19
Speaker 2: crazy guy. He's got no experience at anything, you know,
14:22
Speaker 2: he's a thirty four year old kid, never had a job.
14:25
Speaker 2: So I don't know what this will do to him.
14:27
Speaker 2: Will he just hate Staten Island forever and never go
14:29
Speaker 2: back and try to punish him in some ways, or
14:33
Speaker 2: will he find in the next few weeks it's going
14:35
Speaker 2: to start happening everywhere and it's not just Staten Island.
14:38
Speaker 2: But keep booing him when you see him. Maybe at
14:42
Speaker 2: some point he'll get the message. So hey, the United
14:45
Speaker 2: Nations has come out against Iran. Yeah, right on time.
14:50
Speaker 2: Iran just executed fifty six people. So they denounced that.
14:55
Speaker 2: The funding Hamas has belah hoodies, they haven't denounced that yet.
15:00
Speaker 2: The UH violating every nuclear agreement and building nuclear weapons,
15:04
Speaker 2: they haven't denounced that. All the other horrible things for
15:07
Speaker 2: forty seven years never been announced by the UN, but
15:10
Speaker 2: they finally denounced them. Maybe they're finally figuring out they've
15:14
Speaker 2: been betting on the wrong horse in this whole thing.
15:16
Speaker 2: Straight ah horn moose was supposed to open maybe today.
15:21
Speaker 2: President was asked about it, but straight.
15:23
Speaker 1: Up barbooz the actos reporting that you fight and open
15:27
Speaker 1: as to this.
15:28
Speaker 2: Tomorrow could happen tomorrow and the next thing tomorrow. There's
15:31
Speaker 2: a lot of progress has been there. And they called
15:34
Speaker 2: me and they said, please, let's go. They want to
15:36
Speaker 2: make a deal. They do not want to be hit.
15:39
Speaker 2: It was the biggest hit since World War Two, is
15:42
Speaker 2: I said, But we'll see what happens. They had a
15:45
Speaker 2: very good day. The negotiations were good. Yeah, a lot
15:49
Speaker 2: of progress have been made. I don't know. Yeah, a
15:54
Speaker 2: lot of progress. Believe me, I've seen progress. But this
15:57
Speaker 2: is real. The progress they've made is unbelievable. What can
16:03
Speaker 2: I tell you? I don't know. This could go on
16:05
Speaker 2: for a while. They're gonna open it, not open it.
16:07
Speaker 2: They got a piece agreement, they're backfighting. Nope, there's another
16:11
Speaker 2: piece agreement. Now they're back to fighting. Wait a minute,
16:13
Speaker 2: there's another piece agreement up, back to fighting. This is good.
16:17
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't mind this. And a lot
16:19
Speaker 2: of people hate this, and they yelling and screaming. He
16:21
Speaker 2: has no plan, he has no this. I don't mind this.
16:24
Speaker 2: It's just keeping a rand busy tied up in limbo,
16:28
Speaker 2: keeps them distracted from anything else they might be up to. No,
16:32
Speaker 2: I don't mind, but we'll see, we'll see. There are
16:35
Speaker 2: a lot of people thinking probably should get some other negotiators.
16:39
Speaker 2: Steve Widcoff, great guy, Jared Kushner, it's okay, very very
16:45
Speaker 2: sharp guy. I mean, you're great at a lot of stuff.
16:47
Speaker 2: They might not be the right guys for this job.
16:49
Speaker 2: Some people think, you know what, send General Jack Keene
16:52
Speaker 2: over there with somebody like that to negotiate and we'll see. Hey,
16:56
Speaker 2: we'll take a break, and then hey, we'll get to
16:58
Speaker 2: Pete Hegsatt. Apparently there's quite a fight with him. We
17:01
Speaker 2: got a lot to get to today. We'll also get
17:03
Speaker 2: to a lot of our great, great music stars. Maybe
17:11
Speaker 2: you should get off the stage. You're getting a little old.
17:13
Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot of concerts getting canceled lately
17:16
Speaker 2: from these guys out there, and we've got a lot
17:17
Speaker 2: to get to. And don't forget I start at nine
17:20
Speaker 2: o'clock now every day. It's nine to noon every day,
17:23
Speaker 2: nine to noon every day here on seven to ten.
17:27
Speaker 2: Wr Mark Simon, This to New York now, three hours

Speaker 2: know a lot of these guys are still on tour,
17:42
Speaker 2: these groups, these guys, these big stars of the sixties, seventies, eighties.
17:46
Speaker 2: They're still on tour all over the place. But you
17:49
Speaker 2: get to be in your mid eighties, there's a lot
17:52
Speaker 2: of canceled concerts lately. Rod Stewart cancel a concert. Barry
17:58
Speaker 2: Manilog cancel a concert. Look at this one. Zz Top
18:04
Speaker 2: canceled it show. Now this is a zz Top and
18:08
Speaker 2: cheap trick, the two of them together, cheap trick. I
18:13
Speaker 2: could see who would go to a zz Top concert.
18:17
Speaker 2: So anyway, they're appearing together. This is the Hollywood Bowl.
18:21
Speaker 2: That's like, that's like the radio city of Los Angeles.
18:24
Speaker 2: This is a major event, Hollywood Bowl. They canceled the
18:27
Speaker 2: concert just a couple of hours before the show. The
18:34
Speaker 2: statement says zz Top Tour has unforeseen personal matters that
18:39
Speaker 2: have forced the band to cancel its appearance. Now it's
18:43
Speaker 2: two of the three zz Top members are still alive.
18:47
Speaker 2: Actually they're not that old, seventy six, seventy seven, they
18:50
Speaker 2: should be in better shape. But they did have to cancel.
18:54
Speaker 2: Cheap trick. I guess they were okay, but they still
18:56
Speaker 2: had to cancel too. So there should be a before
19:01
Speaker 2: you go on tour. They should. You just have to
19:03
Speaker 2: get a complete physical, like a note from a doctor
19:06
Speaker 2: that you're qualified to go on this tour. Now there's
19:08
Speaker 2: some exceptions. You look at McCartney, incredible shape, unbelievable ship.
19:13
Speaker 2: McCartney looks exactly like McCartney. Unlike a lot of these artists,
19:18
Speaker 2: you know instantly it's Paul McCartney. Some of them come
19:20
Speaker 2: out today you don't even recognize them. But McCartney looks
19:23
Speaker 2: exactly like McCartney. He's doing a two hour concert without
19:26
Speaker 2: ever taking a sip of water, bouncing around. He's fine.
19:30
Speaker 2: But the guy's in incredible health because he did nothing.
19:34
Speaker 2: But he'd you know, lettuce and beans for like the
19:37
Speaker 2: last fifty years. I mean, he's a beyond vegetarian. I mean,
19:41
Speaker 2: of course, you know, it made him as healthy as
19:45
Speaker 2: can be. But who wants to eat all that crap
19:46
Speaker 2: for fifty years. It's not a lot of fun. So
19:51
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, like a lot of these guys,
19:53
Speaker 2: they used to in the end of the concert and
19:55
Speaker 2: people wait backstage, Oh there's the limousine. They take them away.
19:58
Speaker 2: Now they're leaving in an ambulance. They're leaving the concert
20:01
Speaker 2: on the stretcher. Got a it's got a well, you
20:04
Speaker 2: gotta blame the concert promoters if the guy is in
20:07
Speaker 2: that kind of shape, or the group maybe ought to
20:10
Speaker 2: think twice about actually booking them. So, you know Stephen
20:14
Speaker 2: Colbert's daughter. I know a lot of people don't really
20:18
Speaker 2: care about Stephen Colbear's daughter, but she's been working at
20:23
Speaker 2: sixty minutes. So she just quit in a huff. She's
20:28
Speaker 2: leaving sixty minutes. That's good. Let's get this whole Colbert
20:31
Speaker 2: family out of CBS. Let's rid CBS or this entire
20:35
Speaker 2: Colbert family. She was the latest behind the scenes producer
20:41
Speaker 2: to leave the venerable news magazine as it grapples with
20:45
Speaker 2: a talent exodus. I don't think they're grappling. I think
20:48
Speaker 2: they're thrilled. That was the whole idea clean house, get
20:51
Speaker 2: these left wing biased kooks out of there. Her name
20:56
Speaker 2: is actually Carlile. I don't know what. It's not Colbert,
20:58
Speaker 2: it's Carlile, Madeline Carlisle. Well, while she must get probably married,
21:03
Speaker 2: well regarded associate producer, well regarded by who joined sixty minutes.
21:08
Speaker 2: Now listen to this after a reporting stint at The Atlantic,
21:12
Speaker 2: The Atlantic is the most biased, prejudiced, slanted left wing
21:18
Speaker 2: crazy magazine in the World's owned by Steve Job's widow.
21:23
Speaker 2: It's like her little vanity project. But it is so far.
21:26
Speaker 2: If she worked at The Atlantic, she's be fired just
21:29
Speaker 2: based on that. The exit creates an awkward family bookend
21:34
Speaker 2: for CBS. No, it doesn't. If you can rid yourself
21:37
Speaker 2: of Colbert's, you're doing the right thing. It's great for everybody.
21:42
Speaker 2: So apparently, you know, they had this cabinet meeting at
21:45
Speaker 2: Camp David at the end of last week. Now, the
21:48
Speaker 2: reason you do it at Camp David is if you're
21:51
Speaker 2: going to discuss real serious war stuff like taking out
21:55
Speaker 2: and destroying Iran, that's the kind of stuff where you
21:58
Speaker 2: move the cabinet meeting to Camp David because if you
22:01
Speaker 2: do it in the White House, when everybody leaves, they
22:03
Speaker 2: got to walk through the White House to get to
22:06
Speaker 2: their cars, and the hallways are filled with the reporters
22:08
Speaker 2: and press, and you don't want them talking to anybody.
22:11
Speaker 2: If you hold it a Camp David, no reporters, no
22:14
Speaker 2: press anywhere, and it helps prevent leaks. So but apparently
22:19
Speaker 2: at this cabinet meeting they started to discuss is there
22:23
Speaker 2: really any shortage of missiles or munitions? And apparently there
22:29
Speaker 2: is some not what the press is reporting. You know,
22:32
Speaker 2: they're exaggerating the hell out of it. But Trump after
22:35
Speaker 2: the meeting gotten a little bit of a squabble with
22:38
Speaker 2: Pete Hexath. Wasn't Jeanine Piro volume it was a little lower,
22:44
Speaker 2: but mad at Hexath for not keeping him fully informed
22:49
Speaker 2: about the state of the munition shortage or how many
22:51
Speaker 2: missiles we've used up. And Hexath blamed it one of
22:55
Speaker 2: one of the guys at the Pentagon, which is never
22:57
Speaker 2: good to do in front of Trump. Never blame it
22:59
Speaker 2: on somebody else unless you got Janine Pirol bling Bergham.
23:02
Speaker 2: But she came in with boxes at documents and laid
23:04
Speaker 2: out the whole thing. So that's a little different, but
23:08
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like a big deal. But Hexitville have to
23:12
Speaker 2: be a little more careful for the next few weeks
23:15
Speaker 2: around President Trump. Hey, we'll take some calls in it
23:18
Speaker 2: in just a little while. Eight hundred three to two
23:21
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number? Eight hundred three
23:24
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. Now is there going to
23:28
Speaker 2: be an impeachment or two? Yes? Who Well, we'll get
23:31
Speaker 2: to that coming up on seven to ten wor Live
23:35
Speaker 2: from the WR Lifebax Studios, Mark Zimon, Hey, we'll take
23:42
Speaker 2: some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
23:46
Speaker 2: Call me now eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
23:49
Speaker 2: All right, it just happened. Anthony Fauci has been held
23:53
Speaker 2: in contempt. Ran Paul got his resolution. It will skip
23:58
Speaker 2: the full Senate vote. But the it's done. Anthony Fauci
24:03
Speaker 2: now held in contempt. This so will be referred directly
24:08
Speaker 2: to the Department of Justice. Now, this Senate committee can
24:12
Speaker 2: make a criminal referral, they can hold you in contempt,
24:15
Speaker 2: but they can't actually do anything. It's up to the
24:17
Speaker 2: Department of Justice. But remember it's the Trump Department of Justice.
24:22
Speaker 2: So Anthony Fauci in contempt. They do have his cell phone.
24:27
Speaker 2: They haven't gotten all this stuff out of it yet,
24:29
Speaker 2: but this is going to be fascinating. When they went
24:32
Speaker 2: through his work computer, they found the diary, and imagine
24:35
Speaker 2: what they're going to find in the cell phone. Not
24:37
Speaker 2: just a record of all his calls, but you'll get
24:39
Speaker 2: to see all of his texts. If you look through
24:43
Speaker 2: the Epstein files, that's some of the most interesting stuff,
24:45
Speaker 2: the texting back and forth. So that's going to come
24:48
Speaker 2: out about Anthony Fauci. Let's take some calls. Let's go
24:52
Speaker 2: to Tom and Queen's Tom. How you doing?
24:56
Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, good morning. Two things for you today, Like
25:01
Speaker 3: he didn't Queen, what he's going to do to stat nound.
25:04
Speaker 3: He's probably going to add more speed cameras for that
25:06
Speaker 3: to get revenge.
25:08
Speaker 2: And another add one.
25:11
Speaker 3: More name to the list, the David leave Off. He's
25:14
Speaker 3: another one that canceled his concerts.
25:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got to stop these guys. You know, when
25:19
Speaker 2: you gets past a certain age, do it or record
25:22
Speaker 2: a concert and then just sell it to Netflix or somebody.
25:25
Speaker 2: They don't try to rally too well. Frankie Valley, Yeah,
25:29
Speaker 2: that's a sad case. But he's he's in his nineties now.
25:33
Speaker 2: You know, it looked like he was lip syncing for
25:36
Speaker 2: a few years and then the problem was he just
25:39
Speaker 2: got i mean just got so old, a little Joe
25:44
Speaker 2: bidenish and he was having trouble even keeping up with
25:46
Speaker 2: the lip sinking. So but he's how old is he?
25:51
Speaker 2: Ninety two, ninety three something like that? I mean, just
25:54
Speaker 2: an amazing work ethic. I mean, you got to give
25:56
Speaker 2: these guys credit. In the case of many of them,
25:59
Speaker 2: it's worth that work ethic you know, like McCartney. This
26:02
Speaker 2: guy doesn't need the money. He's a billionaire, but he
26:05
Speaker 2: loves to work. He just lives to do concerts. It's
26:08
Speaker 2: really maybe the real reason the Beatles broke up. They
26:12
Speaker 2: give you all these different explanations, but remember about nineteen
26:16
Speaker 2: sixty six or so, John Lennon decided they would never
26:20
Speaker 2: go on tour again. He thought it was getting too dangerous,
26:22
Speaker 2: too out of control, so they were never going to
26:25
Speaker 2: tour again. McCartney couldn't take this. He just loves performing,
26:30
Speaker 2: he loves concerts. So after a couple of years of
26:33
Speaker 2: not being able to do any live shows, I think,
26:36
Speaker 2: I mean, I've asked him about it, and he's never
26:38
Speaker 2: actually said it out loud, but he kind of gives
26:40
Speaker 2: you that look like, yeah, it was a factor, a
26:42
Speaker 2: big factor, never never getting to go on stage again.
26:46
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I mean, hey, if people show up,
26:51
Speaker 2: if they can fill the Hollywood bowls zz top hard
26:55
Speaker 2: to imagine. But if they can fill the Hollywood Bowl
26:58
Speaker 2: then I guess I'm wrong. So uh, keep keep doing Now.
27:03
Speaker 2: Will they impeach President Trump? No, of course not. It's
27:05
Speaker 2: a Republican Senate. It's a Republican House. But it looks
27:09
Speaker 2: like they're going to try in these committees to impeach
27:12
Speaker 2: the cabinet members. One by one, They're going to try
27:16
Speaker 2: to impeach cabinet members. They'll start with the littlest one
27:19
Speaker 2: first and work their way up. So expect to see
27:23
Speaker 2: that the impeachment of cabinet members. It'll go nowhere. But
27:27
Speaker 2: it's just a chance to UH, to embarrass them. Let's
27:30
Speaker 2: take some calls. Let's go to UH. Let's go to
27:32
Speaker 2: Len in Long Island. Len. How you doing.
27:35
Speaker 3: I'm doing fine.
27:38
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you a question about Joe.
27:42
Speaker 2: He used to have.
27:44
Speaker 3: Three hours of fine Sinatra every Sunday.
27:47
Speaker 2: Yes, call it.
27:49
Speaker 1: Yes, what happened to that?
27:52
Speaker 2: So it's a perfect call. Asking about what's going on
27:55
Speaker 2: at another station, Questions about their lineup. I think they
27:59
Speaker 2: moved it to Saturday night. It's on Saturday night at
28:01
Speaker 2: ten o'clock. They forgot to tell the one listener Atland
28:07
Speaker 2: it's Saturday nights at ten o'clock. Now, he's a good
28:09
Speaker 2: guy at Joe piscoll We like Joe Piscopo, very good guy.
28:13
Speaker 2: And h I used to do the Sinatra show at
28:17
Speaker 2: that same place on Saturday nights for many, many many years. Hey,
28:21
Speaker 2: the FBI has officially opened a probe into James Komy
28:29
Speaker 2: Good And what they're specifically looking at is, uh, this
28:36
Speaker 2: whole Russia you know, the whole Russia stuff was never sold.
28:39
Speaker 2: I know, there was a Muller report and they found
28:41
Speaker 2: there was no Russian collusion, but they never got to
28:44
Speaker 2: the bottom of how the Russia hoax was started, who
28:48
Speaker 2: formed it, And the FBI is finally gonna look at that.
28:51
Speaker 2: There's an open, active investigation into komy and exactly how
28:56
Speaker 2: they started and launched this whole Russia hoax. If you
28:59
Speaker 2: look back on it now, it does seem kind of crazy.
29:03
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of things you could complain
29:05
Speaker 2: about Donald Trump with, There's a lot of things you
29:08
Speaker 2: could say are wrong with Donald Trump. But but a
29:14
Speaker 2: Russian agent can you even picture that? Can you picture
29:17
Speaker 2: him being an agent for anybody except himself? I don't
29:20
Speaker 2: think so. It was the most ridiculous hoax ever. So
29:25
Speaker 2: they are looking at that. The FBI believes the opening
29:29
Speaker 2: of this investigation was totally wrong. The probe was meant
29:33
Speaker 2: to harm Donald Trump. Well clearly it was, And they're
29:37
Speaker 2: going to finally look at this. Now they keep trying
29:39
Speaker 2: to get this Komi. He's a slippery worm, but they'll
29:42
Speaker 2: keep working on it. The investigation will seek to determine
29:46
Speaker 2: whether President Trump and others. Oh wait, no, this is
29:52
Speaker 2: what they were doing in this Russia hoax. They were
29:55
Speaker 2: trying to decide if he was a Russian agent. And
29:58
Speaker 2: then you remember that was Op Across the Fire, Hurricane
30:02
Speaker 2: or whatever the hell it was. Then they switched it
30:04
Speaker 2: to Operation Oxford Comma. They spend more time coming up
30:11
Speaker 2: with these ridiculous names that nobody gets. But apparently that
30:14
Speaker 2: was into whether President Trump was obstructing the Russia investigation,
30:18
Speaker 2: which was basically an investigation and nothing. So they keep
30:21
Speaker 2: trying to get Koby. It's like a ran. You can
30:24
Speaker 2: never quite get them no matter what. But good keep
30:27
Speaker 2: it up, keep going after Comy. No, some people might say, well,
30:31
Speaker 2: Atlicia cost them a lot of money with these legal bills. No,
30:35
Speaker 2: these guys like a Fitzgerald, former prosecutor now an attorney,
30:39
Speaker 2: these guys that are Comby's lawyers, they're all close friends.
30:43
Speaker 2: They're all close friends, like a deep state mob of lawyers.
30:45
Speaker 2: So they're all working for nothing. Right now, that's take
30:48
Speaker 2: some calls. Let's go to John and paramus. John, how
30:51
Speaker 2: you doing good?
30:53
Speaker 1: I hope this new schedule doesn't cut into the nightlife.
30:56
Speaker 2: It is a little I mean, it's got to sleep
30:59
Speaker 2: a little earlier, like midnight. I'm never going to sleep
31:02
Speaker 2: that early in my life.
31:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, the bar candles will be upset about it.
31:06
Speaker 2: Sorry, Uh so you John Cassim TV?
31:10
Speaker 3: What is he? And he's of course he's the biggest
31:12
Speaker 3: grocery about.
31:14
Speaker 2: W ABC Day. What's going on here? Why would you
31:16
Speaker 2: want to.
31:16
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, I'm not I never doing
31:18
Speaker 3: wr I don't know what you think? What do you
31:21
Speaker 3: thinks of this mon donnie grocery store?
31:23
Speaker 2: What his professional opinion is? Well, obviously, you know, if
31:28
Speaker 2: you're a big, successful grocery store operator, the biggest in
31:33
Speaker 2: the city, and some amateur tries to do it, you're
31:36
Speaker 2: gonna just kind of laugh. It's like when we watch
31:38
Speaker 2: these amateur podcasters, we just kind of laugh at them.
31:41
Speaker 2: We think they're they're ridiculous. It's it's a good question, though.
31:44
Speaker 2: Now tell you the real uh problem here? If you
31:47
Speaker 2: were mom Donnie, You're a thirty four year old kid,
31:49
Speaker 2: you never had a job in your life, You've never
31:52
Speaker 2: run anything, You've never managed anything, and you decided I'm
31:55
Speaker 2: going to open my own grocery stores. And it's about
31:57
Speaker 2: the toughest business in New York right now. If you
32:01
Speaker 2: decided to do that, wouldn't you pick up the phone
32:05
Speaker 2: and call somebody like John Katzimatitis. They're their friends. Wouldn't
32:08
Speaker 2: you call them and say, can we have a meeting?
32:11
Speaker 2: Could you show me how to run a grocery store?
32:15
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you do that? You know, if you were worried
32:17
Speaker 2: about the crime situation, wouldn't you call Ray Kelly. He'd
32:21
Speaker 2: be happy to help. Guys like this. They're happy to
32:23
Speaker 2: help you. They'd love to help. They love the city,
32:25
Speaker 2: and say, could I come meet with you? Could you
32:27
Speaker 2: give me some guidance on fighting crime? If you had
32:30
Speaker 2: this homeless problem? You know it was great at cleaning
32:33
Speaker 2: up the homeless. Rudy Giuliani. Why wouldn't you call Rudy Giuliani?
32:37
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe you don't want to be associated with him,
32:39
Speaker 2: you're a Democrat or what. Call him up. He'll talk
32:42
Speaker 2: to you and say, give me some advice. How do
32:44
Speaker 2: I hate? What do I need to do here? But
32:47
Speaker 2: these guys don't care They don't want to do anything.
32:49
Speaker 2: This is the problem with these democratic socialists, left wing
32:53
Speaker 2: radical Kami mom Donnie types. They don't want it. It's
32:55
Speaker 2: just symbolism. It's the idea of a government grocery store.
33:00
Speaker 2: Ever see this grocery store, it'll never open. As long
33:02
Speaker 2: as you'll live, you'll never see a government grocery store.
33:06
Speaker 2: And you know, if you talk to these great grocery
33:08
Speaker 2: store owners, they'll tell you it's one to two million
33:11
Speaker 2: to open a store. He's paying forty five million to
33:14
Speaker 2: open a store. Wouldn't that make you pick up the
33:17
Speaker 2: phone and call him and say, hey, could you show
33:20
Speaker 2: me how you do it for two million? Because I
33:21
Speaker 2: don't want to waste forty five million a taxpayers money.
33:24
Speaker 2: But it would never occur to these guys to ask
33:27
Speaker 2: anybody for help. Yess like he's a amateur podcasters do these?
33:33
Speaker 2: You know? You ever listen to somebody, Hey, how are
33:35
Speaker 2: you welcome to my podcasting? And if I see him,
33:39
Speaker 2: they'll go, Davy all read my podcast, Oh you gotta listen.
33:43
Speaker 2: It's great. So it never occurs to them to ask
33:45
Speaker 2: any questions, you know, ask hey, could you give me
33:48
Speaker 2: some help? Show me how to lay this out. How
33:49
Speaker 2: do you do a radio show? How do you? It
33:51
Speaker 2: never occurs to them. Uh, it's just total lack of
33:55
Speaker 2: self awareness. So Mom, Donnie thinks he's some sort of genius.
33:58
Speaker 2: He's so brilliant. He is billion at gett himself elected mayor.
34:01
Speaker 2: You got to give him credit for that. Thirty four,
34:03
Speaker 2: never had a job, becomes the mayor of the biggest
34:06
Speaker 2: city in America. That's the talent. But when it comes
34:09
Speaker 2: to running a grocery store, you would think he'd say,
34:12
Speaker 2: I better go ask some professionals, get some help. Nope,
34:16
Speaker 2: never do it. Hey, coming up at noon today, Buck
34:20
Speaker 2: Sexton and Klay Travis. You got to listen to them
34:22
Speaker 2: every day at noon. It's an excellent show. Then at
34:25
Speaker 2: three o'clock we got the most listen to radio show
34:28
Speaker 2: in America, Sean Hannity. We got Jesse Kelly. At six,
34:33
Speaker 2: Jimmy Fayala. That's a great show. I listen to that
34:36
Speaker 2: now every night nine o'clock to midnight. In fact, Jimmy
34:41
Speaker 2: Fayler will be with us in the third hour. This
34:44
Speaker 2: is the first hour. We're on nine to noon every day,
34:46
Speaker 2: nine to noon every day. But he'll be with us
34:49
Speaker 2: in the third and the eleven o'clock hour today on
34:51
Speaker 2: seven to ten WR Floor Mark Mark Simon Miter, New
34:56
Speaker 2: York now a three hours every weekday nine till new
35:01
Speaker 2: on seven ten double on. Well, a Yankee fan is
35:07
Speaker 2: suing the team for ten million dollars because she got
35:10
Speaker 2: hit with a back while in the stands. You know,
35:13
Speaker 2: you can get hit with a ball, but hit with
35:15
Speaker 2: a bat as unusual. The bat flew out of the
35:17
Speaker 2: player's hand and just you know, like a frisbee, just
35:19
Speaker 2: sailed right into the stand. Now, she was actually behind
35:23
Speaker 2: the net. She had seats right you know, right behind
35:27
Speaker 2: the plate, you know where the net is. But apparently
35:30
Speaker 2: the net was kind of loose. She was right in
35:31
Speaker 2: the front row, actually says the fourth row. So the
35:34
Speaker 2: net was that loose that the bat hit it and
35:38
Speaker 2: hit her in the head. She said she's suffering from
35:40
Speaker 2: this and that as a result suing the team for
35:43
Speaker 2: ten million dollars. You know, people watch I used to
35:47
Speaker 2: watch the game and see the like, right, people sitting
35:50
Speaker 2: right behind the dugout, right behind the Yankee dug out
35:53
Speaker 2: of the Wow, that'd be the greatest seat right behind
35:55
Speaker 2: the dugout. You put your feet up on the dugout.
35:58
Speaker 2: So one day I got those seats and I sat
36:01
Speaker 2: right behind the dugout. It was the most terrifying game.
36:04
Speaker 2: You can't you'd never want to sit there because you
36:07
Speaker 2: cannot take your eyes off the game for a second,
36:09
Speaker 2: because you get to get hit with a ball, a
36:11
Speaker 2: foul ball, at any second, so you can't turn around,
36:14
Speaker 2: you can't. You got to keep your eyes on the ball.
36:16
Speaker 2: It's just the most dangerous seats in the world. So
36:18
Speaker 2: if you're way back or nowhere near the dugout, you're
36:22
Speaker 2: much safer. If you're up in the bleachers, you got
36:25
Speaker 2: the safest seats. Even a ball came at you, you
36:28
Speaker 2: could easily catch it. And you don't want to sit
36:30
Speaker 2: right behind home plate. Not to mention it's twenty thousand
36:33
Speaker 2: dollars a seat or whatever it is, and you do
36:36
Speaker 2: not want to sit right on the first baseline right
36:38
Speaker 2: behind the dugout, because that's where a lot of foul
36:41
Speaker 2: balls go. Hey, we got another two hours to go.
36:44
Speaker 2: That's right where the show is now nine to noon
36:46
Speaker 2: every day, nine o'clock to noon every day, and we
36:51
Speaker 2: got a lot to get to in the next hour.
36:53
Speaker 2: So stay right here. On seven to ten wr
