Speaker 1: It's more more mister New York on seven ten wr.
0:08
Speaker 2: Hey. Look for the stock market it hit fifty thousand
0:12
Speaker 2: in the next couple hours. It will most likely happen
0:14
Speaker 2: and setting all time records in S ANDP. But look
0:17
Speaker 2: for the stock market to break the fifty thousand mark
0:20
Speaker 2: before the day is over. Oil is down about eight
0:23
Speaker 2: dollars right now. A lot going on Iran. You know,
0:28
Speaker 2: this is a fascinating situation. By blocking the straits of Hormose,
0:32
Speaker 2: they've completely cut off their revenue. They have no money.
0:39
Speaker 2: It's a fascinating situation. Way back in the Iranian Revolution
0:44
Speaker 2: in the late seventies, some of you were around back then.
0:46
Speaker 2: The Iranian Revolution caused all kinds of you know, we
0:50
Speaker 2: were battling Iran, the US Iran they cut off our
0:54
Speaker 2: oil and it was terrible. We had tremendous gas shortages
1:00
Speaker 2: in the United States. And if you around back then,
1:03
Speaker 2: you remember there were gas lines that would go for blocks.
1:08
Speaker 2: I mean, think about this. You had to wait in
1:11
Speaker 2: line for gasoline, and sometimes you had to wait an
1:14
Speaker 2: hour or two hours in line to get gas. And
1:18
Speaker 2: back then, a big problem with people would actually run
1:20
Speaker 2: out of gas while in the line and couldn't move
1:22
Speaker 2: their car. It got so bad that we had to
1:27
Speaker 2: do gas rationing. This is in nineteen seventy nine in America.
1:31
Speaker 2: Gas rationing. And remember you had to have it was
1:34
Speaker 2: even an odd If you had an even number at
1:37
Speaker 2: the end of your license plate, you could only buy
1:38
Speaker 2: gas on an even day. Odd numbers could buy on
1:41
Speaker 2: odd days. It was unbelievable. And there were many times
1:46
Speaker 2: with those long gas lines, the gas stations would run
1:49
Speaker 2: out of gas and they would have these big no
1:52
Speaker 2: gas signs they would put up. And now here's another
1:56
Speaker 2: problem that happened back then. Back then gas was twenty
2:02
Speaker 2: nine cents a gallon, thirty nine cents a gallon, forty
2:06
Speaker 2: nine cents a gallon. Maybe in a crisis it could
2:08
Speaker 2: go to sixty cents a gallon eighty cents again, so
2:12
Speaker 2: there were only two digits on the price on the
2:16
Speaker 2: gas pump, just two digits for the gas price. So
2:23
Speaker 2: the price of gas went up so much. When they
2:26
Speaker 2: cut our supply back in seventy nine and we had
2:31
Speaker 2: so little gas, the price of gas ran up the pump.
2:34
Speaker 2: They didn't have enough numbers on the pump. They were
2:37
Speaker 2: unable to display a price over ninety nine cents a gallon,
2:41
Speaker 2: so the only thing they could do was sell by
2:43
Speaker 2: the half gallon, so you could buy a half a
2:45
Speaker 2: gallon of gas. Back then, it was so out of Hey,
2:48
Speaker 2: by the way, that's why they created the fifty five
2:52
Speaker 2: mile an hour speed limit. It used to be. Was
2:55
Speaker 2: it seventy five? Yeah, I think you go seventy Maybe
2:57
Speaker 2: it was seventy speed limit on the highways used to be.
3:00
Speaker 2: They reduced it to fifty five. Now people think that
3:03
Speaker 2: was to make it safer. It was not. That was
3:07
Speaker 2: done by the Department, by the government. That was done
3:11
Speaker 2: in seventy nine to conserve gas. So that's why they
3:15
Speaker 2: created the fifty five mile an hour speed them. That
3:17
Speaker 2: was originally just a conserve gas.
3:21
Speaker 3: Hey.
3:21
Speaker 2: Also, this whole crisis, this led to the creation of
3:23
Speaker 2: the US Department of Energy in nineteen seventy seven. So
3:28
Speaker 2: here's the beauty of all this, of what's going on
3:30
Speaker 2: in Iran right now. We have completely destroyed every We've
3:34
Speaker 2: destroyed their military. We have got the straight of horn
3:38
Speaker 2: Moose close, which means they have absolutely no revenue coming in.
3:42
Speaker 2: And believe it or not, right now you're going to
3:44
Speaker 2: love this. We have created gas lines in Iran. Remember,
3:51
Speaker 2: we're the biggest oil producer in the world. We now
3:53
Speaker 2: produce fourteen million barrels a day thanks to Donald Trump
3:58
Speaker 2: and is opening up the drilling. Under Biden, we were
4:01
Speaker 2: doing four million barrels a day. Now we're doing fourteen
4:04
Speaker 2: million a day. That's more than anybody in the world.
4:08
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia only does eight million a day. So we've
4:10
Speaker 2: actually caused gas lines in Iran. That is great. You know,
4:16
Speaker 2: here's an interesting thing about this crazy mayor, Mom Donnie.
4:20
Speaker 2: They had this very solemn ceremony at the World Trade
4:23
Speaker 2: Center Memorial when Prince King Charles was here, When King
4:29
Speaker 2: Charles was here, and it was Talaya wreath. It was
4:31
Speaker 2: a very solemn ceremony. And Mom Donnie has no business
4:36
Speaker 2: anywhere near any nine to eleven anything, since he pretty
4:40
Speaker 2: much supported the other side on that. So Mayor Bloomberg
4:45
Speaker 2: was there. Michael Bloomberg came and basically hosted. He was
4:48
Speaker 2: the one that was with King Charles and Queen Camilla.
4:51
Speaker 2: He was the one escorting them around. He was the
4:53
Speaker 2: one Mayor Bloomberg, former Mayor Bloomberg. He was the one
4:57
Speaker 2: that laid the wreath with him at the Memorial. Now
5:01
Speaker 2: this week we had the met Gala. It's tradition that
5:06
Speaker 2: the mayor be at the met Gala. It used to
5:08
Speaker 2: be quite a prestigious event. It used to be the
5:10
Speaker 2: most elegant affair with the biggest names in business and society.
5:16
Speaker 2: In recent years it turned into basically a Halloween clown show.
5:19
Speaker 2: It's all crazy music, artists, all the society business though
5:24
Speaker 2: they're not there anymore. So but Mayor mom Donnie wouldn't go.
5:28
Speaker 2: He refused to go. Yeah, it's one hundred thousand a ticket,
5:30
Speaker 2: it's three hundred and fifty thousand a table. It's a
5:33
Speaker 2: ridiculous elitist so he wouldn't go. They got Mayor Bloomberg
5:38
Speaker 2: to go. They got Michael Bloomberg to come. So this
5:40
Speaker 2: is twice now he's had to represent the city in
5:45
Speaker 2: these kind of events. So he had to represent mom
5:48
Speaker 2: Donnie at World Trade Center, he had to represent him
5:55
Speaker 2: at the met Gala. So it's pretty silly mayor who
6:00
Speaker 2: can't do his own work like the older guy, the adult,
6:05
Speaker 2: a real mayor has to come in and fill in
6:06
Speaker 2: for him at these things. Hey y, we had the
6:09
Speaker 2: sad news earlier. Ted Turner passed away at the age
6:13
Speaker 2: of eighty seven. Ted Turner. He was a fascinating guy.
6:20
Speaker 2: He suffered from all kinds of mental things and depression
6:24
Speaker 2: and all kinds of things. He was on all kinds
6:28
Speaker 2: of medication for it. And I mean a couple of
6:30
Speaker 2: times I m ced Luncheon's Dinners where he was the
6:34
Speaker 2: speaker and we couldn't find him. We'd go backstage and
6:37
Speaker 2: he was asleep, his head on the table in the
6:41
Speaker 2: middle of the day. But a great guy. He created
6:45
Speaker 2: CNN first he had He was in all kinds of businesses.
6:49
Speaker 2: His father committed suicide and he took over the business,
6:54
Speaker 2: which was just some sort of advertising down in the Georgia.
6:59
Speaker 2: One of the things he inherited was a local TV station,
7:03
Speaker 2: and he decided he'll take his little local TV station
7:06
Speaker 2: and make it a superstation. Nobody had done anything like
7:09
Speaker 2: that before. He called it a superstation, and he was
7:11
Speaker 2: a great salesman, and he went around the country and
7:14
Speaker 2: got it on all the cable systems. So suddenly his
7:17
Speaker 2: little local TV station in Atlanta was seen nationally everywhere.
7:22
Speaker 2: It was called WTBS Turner Broadcasting System, and back then
7:27
Speaker 2: you could watch WTBS or TBS or whatever they called it.
7:32
Speaker 2: This little superstation was on your cable system wherever you were,
7:36
Speaker 2: and they had unbelievably great programming. Why they had leave
7:40
Speaker 2: it to beaver reruns in the middle of the day.
7:43
Speaker 2: It was great stuff. So he became very successful with that,
7:47
Speaker 2: and then in nineteen eighty one eighty two, he decided
7:50
Speaker 2: to create a cable network that would be all news
7:55
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven. Now, remember this is hard to imagine,
7:58
Speaker 2: but before that, before nineteen eighty two, if you wanted
8:02
Speaker 2: to watch the news on TV, you put on the
8:05
Speaker 2: local news at six o'clock and the network news at
8:08
Speaker 2: six thirty, and you could watch the local news at
8:11
Speaker 2: eleven at night, and that was it. That was the
8:14
Speaker 2: news on TV. There was no other place you could
8:16
Speaker 2: go on television anywhere to get the news. And during
8:20
Speaker 2: the day when you're watching the soap operas in the
8:22
Speaker 2: game show, sometimes at the end of the hour, right
8:26
Speaker 2: before the hour they'd have, they'd cut away for like
8:29
Speaker 2: a minute update or NBC News update with Edwin Newman,
8:34
Speaker 2: or who's the woman Nancy Dickerson a little one minute
8:37
Speaker 2: Updore that was it. There was no other place to
8:40
Speaker 2: get news on TV. So when he decided he would
8:44
Speaker 2: do a twenty four hour day news network. Everybody told
8:47
Speaker 2: him he was crazy. There's not enough news to do.
8:51
Speaker 2: What are you going to do all day? I mean,
8:53
Speaker 2: look at the Huntley Brinkley, look at the Walter Cronckett.
8:56
Speaker 2: The half hour. They give you all the news. What
8:58
Speaker 2: are you gonna do the rest of the day. How
8:59
Speaker 2: you going to fill the other twenty three hours? So
9:02
Speaker 2: it seemed, but he always said, they do it on
9:05
Speaker 2: the radio. They got WIS in New York, WCBS to
9:08
Speaker 2: get to these all news stations in various cities do
9:12
Speaker 2: very well. So that's where he got the idea to
9:15
Speaker 2: do that twenty four hours a day, and CNN debuted.
9:21
Speaker 2: There was CNN, it was the cable news network. It
9:25
Speaker 2: seemed crazy. In eighty two. The original anchors were remember
9:28
Speaker 2: Bernard Shaw and you know, I can't remember the names.
9:33
Speaker 2: They were all the original anchors, and it did nothing
9:37
Speaker 2: but twenty four to seven news. They got lucky because
9:40
Speaker 2: a couple of things happened, bigger news events happened, so
9:44
Speaker 2: it was just luck. They were major Africa of the
9:46
Speaker 2: original major news stories where it did very very well
9:49
Speaker 2: with those, and then they got the idea at nine
9:52
Speaker 2: o'clock at night, We'll break from the news do a
9:53
Speaker 2: talk show at nine o'clock at night. And they hired
9:56
Speaker 2: doctor Sonya what was her name, doctor Sonya Friedman. I think, yeah,
10:01
Speaker 2: she's like a radio psychologist TV second. So she did
10:04
Speaker 2: a nine o'clock show and it was pretty successful. But
10:09
Speaker 2: this is one of those cases, this happens at broadcasting
10:11
Speaker 2: where she decides, my husband will be my agent, which
10:15
Speaker 2: you never want to do. That never works. That's always
10:17
Speaker 2: a disaster. That's how Suzanne Summers couldn't stay on two's
10:22
Speaker 2: company or three's company. You want a real agent. You
10:25
Speaker 2: want the William Morris office, our CIA and professional agents.
10:30
Speaker 2: They know these executives at the network. They deal with
10:32
Speaker 2: them all the time. They can work together. You bring
10:35
Speaker 2: in your husband. He gets into a fight with Ted Turner.
10:37
Speaker 2: He's yelling at Ted Turner. He's threatening Ted Turner. Well,
10:42
Speaker 2: Ted Turner knew the radio host Larry King. He had
10:45
Speaker 2: been on a show a lot. He thought Larry King
10:47
Speaker 2: was pretty good. So he called Larry King right after
10:50
Speaker 2: the husband is yelling and leaves his office. He said, hey, Larry,
10:55
Speaker 2: could you do a nine o'clock TV talk show for
10:57
Speaker 2: an hour? Every night, and Larry was stunned. He goes, well,
11:01
Speaker 2: when would you want me to start? He goes, like tomorrow.
11:04
Speaker 2: He goes, I can't stand this, husband, I got a fire.
11:07
Speaker 2: I just want to throw her off the air immediately
11:09
Speaker 2: and put somebody else on. So it was tough for
11:13
Speaker 2: Larry King to because he's already doing that late night
11:15
Speaker 2: radio show. But they he offered him a lot of money.
11:17
Speaker 2: Larry King did it, and it became Now, remember there's
11:21
Speaker 2: no Fox, there's no MSNBC, there's nothing else on, no
11:24
Speaker 2: other cable news. It was just Larry King all alone
11:26
Speaker 2: at nine o'clock at night. It became so big that show.
11:30
Speaker 2: It had millions and millions of viewers, and it was
11:35
Speaker 2: anything and everything. One night it was George Burns, the
11:37
Speaker 2: next night it was Ted Kennedy. It could be anything.
11:42
Speaker 2: Next night it'd be a show on abortion it was.
11:45
Speaker 2: And then Bill Clinton is running for president and he
11:49
Speaker 2: becomes a takes the lead just by doing Larry King.
11:52
Speaker 2: There was the famous ross perrot al gore to became
11:55
Speaker 2: the biggest thing. Presidents would do this show. World leaders
11:59
Speaker 2: would come undue Larry King. It was unbelievable. Now years
12:03
Speaker 2: later they would create Fox and msnbcing it be Hannity,
12:07
Speaker 2: Rachel Maddow and Larry King. It couldn't compete against him,
12:10
Speaker 2: so they eventually dropped the show. But he had an
12:12
Speaker 2: incredible run for twenty something years. But good for Ted Turner.
12:17
Speaker 2: He created all of that. It was an amazing thing. Hey,
12:20
Speaker 2: speaking of television, Stephen Colbert is going off the air.
12:24
Speaker 2: Do you know what it is? Two weeks May twenty first,
12:29
Speaker 2: you're in the final two weeks, Stephen Colbert. This awful
12:32
Speaker 2: cancer on America, this hate filled, nasty, wormy guy with
12:36
Speaker 2: the glasses. He's going off the air in two weeks.
12:39
Speaker 2: Remember when Johnny Carson announced he was leaving. It was
12:42
Speaker 2: the final year, and every major star in the world
12:45
Speaker 2: came back to do one more Carson. It was a
12:48
Speaker 2: year of superstars. Well, this will be two weeks. They
12:52
Speaker 2: got Obama, He's going to do it. That's about it.
12:57
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the list here. Sally Field. Enough, seventy
13:01
Speaker 2: five percent of the audience is not going to know
13:03
Speaker 2: who she is. But okay, she was Gidget, the Sally
13:07
Speaker 2: Field Bert Reynolds, she was the flying nun. But I
13:10
Speaker 2: don't think they're going to talk about that but again,
13:13
Speaker 2: I don't think that seems to be the guest list
13:15
Speaker 2: so far. They can't get any big names. I'm sure
13:18
Speaker 2: you'll see George Clooney in those types. But Colbert May
13:22
Speaker 2: twenty first will be the final light, apparently preparing some
13:25
Speaker 2: sort of emotional final show. So we'll see. It's May
13:29
Speaker 2: twenty first, it's only two weeks from now. That'll be
13:32
Speaker 2: the actually two weeks from tomorrow, that'll be the end
13:34
Speaker 2: of Colbert. Hey, the Rolling Stones have a new album
13:38
Speaker 2: coming out. It's called Foreign Tongues. They had a big
13:41
Speaker 2: event yesterday in Brooklyn, all of them on stage taking questions.
13:46
Speaker 2: The audience mostly media, radio people, a lot of iHeart there,
13:50
Speaker 2: Jim Kerr, Maria Muldo, Carol Miller, all those people were there.
13:57
Speaker 2: So it's twenty twenty six. Now, these guys are like
14:00
Speaker 2: ninety five. We love the Rolling Stones. I know Q
14:05
Speaker 2: one oh four, which is the biggest classic rock station
14:07
Speaker 2: in the world, right down the hall. I'm sure they'll
14:09
Speaker 2: play this, but I don't know who's going to play
14:12
Speaker 2: this album nowadays. You know, if this were nineteen seventy six,
14:18
Speaker 2: they'd be on Z one hundred, they'd be on ninety
14:20
Speaker 2: nine xt they'd be on everything. But I don't know.
14:24
Speaker 2: So they're releasing the single. I don't even know who's
14:30
Speaker 2: going to play the album the single. Who's going to
14:32
Speaker 2: play the single? The single is called something Stars? What
14:36
Speaker 2: the hell is it called in the stars? Because I
14:38
Speaker 2: think that are magnificent. Do you like the lyrics? I
14:42
Speaker 2: don't know either. I can't tell one thing they're singing.
14:45
Speaker 2: All right, let's be on. It sounds great, it's really good.
14:49
Speaker 2: Doesn't sound like twenty twenty six. I don't know. If
14:55
Speaker 2: you didn't know who this was, if I didn't say
14:57
Speaker 2: Rolling Stones, if I just took this audio down down
15:00
Speaker 2: the hall, that's the one hundred, the program director is
15:02
Speaker 2: right there, the music director. I said, hey, listen to this.
15:06
Speaker 2: You think he'd say, oh, we got to put that
15:08
Speaker 2: on there. I don't know who's going to play this,
15:09
Speaker 2: But the thing I noticed, you go back the old
15:12
Speaker 2: Rolling Stones boy, that Mick Jagger voice was so clear
15:16
Speaker 2: and so prominent. But you know, when you get to
15:19
Speaker 2: be what is he ninety eight? When you get to
15:20
Speaker 2: be older, the voice isn't quite there? Is it me?
15:23
Speaker 2: Or are they bringing up the instrumental tracks to cover
15:25
Speaker 2: the voice up?
15:26
Speaker 4: I don't know.
15:27
Speaker 2: They seem to be bearing his voice. That's not the
15:28
Speaker 2: mix they would have used thirty years ago. You know
15:31
Speaker 2: the other problem they got. We go down the hall
15:34
Speaker 2: to some of these these we have all the top
15:36
Speaker 2: music station of the world down there, and the greatest DJs.
15:38
Speaker 2: But they're twenty seven, they're twenty nine, they're thirty two.
15:42
Speaker 2: I don't know if they know who the Rolling Stones are.
15:46
Speaker 2: We could go out on the street and stop people
15:48
Speaker 2: under thirty, stop people under thirty five. I don't know
15:51
Speaker 2: if they know who the Rolling Stones are. But it's
15:53
Speaker 2: good stuff. We'll see. I hope they do well anyway. Hey,
15:57

Speaker 1: You mind our great president. This is what important. We
17:45
Speaker 1: need patriots. And he're like, how we car and you're great, Harriet.
17:49
Speaker 2: We love you. But you're getting a little carried away?
17:51
Speaker 2: There are you?
17:54
Speaker 3: There?
17:56
Speaker 2: Did you go away?
17:57
Speaker 1: That man, daddy is an extraordinary talent. Well we have
18:04
Speaker 1: he's the first Muslim Brotherhood president, a disgrace to the nation.
18:08
Speaker 2: Lack. I don't know. He wasn't born in the country.
18:10
Speaker 2: I don't think he can be president. He wants to
18:12
Speaker 2: be governor one day.
18:14
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, yeah, but Barack Barack Obama is stating
18:19
Speaker 1: that he's an extraordinary talent. Man, Danny. You see, that's
18:22
Speaker 1: the damn and the man. Dammy, it's not Danny. Yeah,
18:25
Speaker 1: he's creating the city of the damn here.
18:27
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, Harriet, well, great call, thanks for calling.
18:29
Speaker 2: Let me just explain Obama. He's been gone for a
18:32
Speaker 2: while under the radar. He was getting paid a fortune,
18:35
Speaker 2: a fortune by Netflix and all the book deal he
18:38
Speaker 2: was making. He made himself one hundreds of millions of dollars. Well,
18:41
Speaker 2: that kind of all stopped. Now you're all of a
18:44
Speaker 2: sudden seeing Obama all over the place. The reason for
18:46
Speaker 2: that is a he wants to be relevant again, but
18:50
Speaker 2: he also wants to make some more money. So that's
18:52
Speaker 2: why he's all over Mom Donnie. You know, during the campaign,
18:56
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie kept calling Obama for support and Obama never
18:59
Speaker 2: would answer. But now that he's mayor obob it's all
19:04
Speaker 2: over him. He's going to be for all the big, big, big,
19:08
Speaker 2: big corporations and may want to hand him millions of dollars.
19:12
Speaker 2: He's trying to act like he's very connected to anything,
19:15
Speaker 2: you know, so he can get anything done with Mom Donnie.
19:18
Speaker 2: His guy, David Aclearod was over in the Vatican meeting
19:20
Speaker 2: with the Pope. That he's signaling all the big corporations
19:23
Speaker 2: you need anything done, I'm your guy. That's what Bill
19:26
Speaker 2: Clinton did when he got out of office. Billionaires corporations
19:30
Speaker 2: would pay Clinton millions and millions and millions to help
19:34
Speaker 2: them get deals. And if they were having trouble in
19:37
Speaker 2: India they couldn't get their power plant deal approved, they'd
19:42
Speaker 2: pay Clinton millions, get on a plane with him, fly
19:44
Speaker 2: over to India because he knew the Prime Minister, he
19:46
Speaker 2: knew all the people there. He could walk you right
19:48
Speaker 2: into their office. Let's go to Lenny in Long Island. Lenny,
19:51

21:01
Speaker 2: Oh you're right, you're right, so I say, I said,
21:04
Speaker 2: Sonya Friedman.
21:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, Freedman had a morning show. I'm seeing that. But
21:08
Speaker 6: Freeman was the first from eighty to eighty five. And
21:11
Speaker 6: you were right. She did have you know, the contract
21:14
Speaker 6: was pulled from she got, you know, the details where
21:17
Speaker 6: you know they say they hadn't greased.
21:19
Speaker 2: Well, I got the details from Ted Turner himself and
21:21
Speaker 2: from Larry King. Yeah, he just said. And Larry was
21:24
Speaker 2: thinking about it, and he said, when would I starty?
21:27
Speaker 2: It was like tomorrow. I got to get this woman
21:28
Speaker 2: out of here, he said. He actually said, I can't
21:30
Speaker 2: use the language. He said. I want to do it
21:33
Speaker 2: just to screw that husband completely. So never let your
21:37
Speaker 2: wife or your husband be your agent. It never works.
21:40
Speaker 2: Let's go to Walker in Jersey City. Walker, how you doing?

21:45
Speaker 2: Uh?
21:45
Speaker 7: You know, I I just was was thinking about Ted Turner.
21:50
Speaker 7: And when Ted Turner was interviewed in Playboy, they questioned
21:55
Speaker 7: him because he did not have the coverage of Reagan
21:59
Speaker 7: being shot. And it was a great response because Ted
22:02
Speaker 7: Turner said, yeah, we were our crew was inside covering
22:05
Speaker 7: his speech, and that's why we didn't have him. That's
22:08
Speaker 7: why we didn't. We weren't out there when he got shot.
22:11
Speaker 2: And yeah, it was a very primitive network when it started. Hey,
22:16
Speaker 2: we got to take a break for the news. We'll
22:18
Speaker 2: take some more calls next and we got a lot
22:20
Speaker 2: to talk about coming up. Eight hundred three to two
22:23
Speaker 2: one zero seven tenants the number one. Welcome back to
22:28
Speaker 2: the Mark Simone Show.
22:30
Speaker 3: You are.
22:33
Speaker 2: Hey, we'll take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred
22:35
Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven tenants the number and
22:38
Speaker 2: culter not here today, should be back next week. So
22:42
Speaker 2: you know, Charlie Sheen was a real Hollywood left wing democrat,
22:47
Speaker 2: super liberal. Charlie Sheen. It's interesting if you read the book,
22:51
Speaker 2: he just wrote, something happened. He was like stuck in
22:54
Speaker 2: bed or sick. I don't know. He's like depressed. I
22:58
Speaker 2: don't know. He's like in bed for a wee and
23:01
Speaker 2: he starts he's just watching TV. He starts watching newsmas
23:05
Speaker 2: and being a left wing Hollywood you know, fake news Kook.
23:10
Speaker 2: He had never seen like real news before, like the
23:12
Speaker 2: actual new news. He starts watching Fox. He starts watching
23:16
Speaker 2: Newsmas and he said, Ray says it in the book.
23:19
Speaker 2: Is I realized I wasn't getting the whole story. The
23:22
Speaker 2: fake news was hiding things from me, not telling me everything.
23:25
Speaker 2: He said, I really like Newsmax And he said, I
23:27
Speaker 2: just kept watching it, and I said, I really was
23:31
Speaker 2: felt very close to these anchors, you know, the two robs.
23:34
Speaker 2: And he said, Greg Kelly, I really like Greg Kelly.
23:36
Speaker 2: And uh so, it is possible to cure a Hollywood
23:42
Speaker 2: liberal with Trump's arrangement syndrome. It doesn't happen office often,
23:45
Speaker 2: but you can cure him. Hey, Cash Pttel in the
23:49
Speaker 2: new podcast with Sean Hannity reveals a lot of stuff
23:53
Speaker 2: our FBI director now that he's in charge, and he
23:56
Speaker 2: is going through the whole building. As we said yesterday,
23:59
Speaker 2: he found secret room where they hid all the Russia stuff.
24:04
Speaker 2: You know, they created this whole fake Russia hoax, Russian collusion.
24:07
Speaker 2: It was all made up. It was all fake. You
24:09
Speaker 2: can see it in a lot of documents. So apparently
24:12
Speaker 2: they put those documents in burn bags so they could
24:15
Speaker 2: be destroyed. Instantly, But they had him in a room,
24:18
Speaker 2: a secret room that wasn't even on the blueprint of
24:20
Speaker 2: the building. As FBI director, he kept searching and searching.
24:24
Speaker 2: He found this room. So you may see some stuff
24:27
Speaker 2: come out of this. They might start to reveal some
24:29
Speaker 2: documents showing out this would be under James Comby's watch,
24:35
Speaker 2: Christopher Ray, total corruption with this little part of the FBI,
24:40
Speaker 2: with this Russia hoax. But you might see this stuff
24:43
Speaker 2: start to come out. Hey, speaking of Trump derangement syndrome.
24:48
Speaker 2: The great hospital in Los Angeles, Cedar Sinai Hospital. So
24:52
Speaker 2: there's a nurse, male nurse Matthew Schaeffer, who put up
24:57
Speaker 2: this awful on his Twitter, awful thing about Trump should
25:01
Speaker 2: have been assassination, should have been assassinated. How come the
25:04
Speaker 2: assassin missed again? Why do they keep missing? Who's hiring
25:08
Speaker 2: these people? Up your game? Let's get better assassins. Terrible
25:12
Speaker 2: thing to post. Cedar Sinai released a statement social media
25:17
Speaker 2: postings of individual staff members do not reflect the views
25:20
Speaker 2: or positions of Cedar's side. I don't know, do you
25:24
Speaker 2: fire the guy because he posted that. I mean, these
25:26
Speaker 2: are a lot of left wing kooks that save this stuff.
25:29
Speaker 2: I don't know. Can you fire him for that? You'd
25:31
Speaker 2: have to fire a lot of people. He could fire
25:34
Speaker 2: him just for having bad judgment. I mean, I mean,
25:36
Speaker 2: find if you have Trump arrangement syndrome, but don't post
25:39
Speaker 2: things like that. Now there's an employee at the FAA
25:42
Speaker 2: Federal Aviation Administration. They just arrested this guy. Apparently he
25:47
Speaker 2: was thinking of becoming a presidential assassin. He's thirty five.
25:52
Speaker 2: He was on Google looking up all kinds of things
25:55
Speaker 2: for an assassination attempt. His searches included to smuggle a
26:00
Speaker 2: firearm into a federal facility. He was studying previous assassination
26:05
Speaker 2: attempts targeting Trump very carefully going on. And you know, obviously,
26:12
Speaker 2: if you got arrested, you're the Gilgo Beach killer. They're
26:18
Speaker 2: gonna get your computer. They're gonna come in with a warrant,
26:20
Speaker 2: take your computer, and they're gonna see what you searched
26:22
Speaker 2: on your computer. But what you may not know. In
26:25
Speaker 2: a lot of cases, they can just go to Google
26:28
Speaker 2: and see who's searching things. They don't even have to
26:30
Speaker 2: know who you are. They could go to Google and say,
26:33
Speaker 2: let's see everybody that searched how to make a bomb,
26:36
Speaker 2: and they can track down people that way. So just
26:40
Speaker 2: pare that in mind when you make a Google search
26:43
Speaker 2: it sometimes they're checking those Google searches to see exactly
26:47
Speaker 2: who made them. Let's take some calls with go to
26:49
Speaker 2: Brian Greenwich, Connecticut. Brian, how you doing, Hey, Mark?
26:54
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, great show.
26:56
Speaker 2: Thanks, So.
26:58
Speaker 4: Got a quick Nick Jagger story was running catering up
27:01
Speaker 4: at the Waldorf back in the eighties, and Nick was
27:04
Speaker 4: introducing the Beatles. So Ron Delsner, who you know, he goes, yeah,
27:09
Speaker 4: he called me kid. He goes, Kid, you gotta go
27:11
Speaker 4: picnic up down by the Bull and Bear. So I said, okay,
27:14
Speaker 4: So I go down and picnic up.
27:15
Speaker 2: Bull and Bear's the restaurant downstairs in the lobby, yes.
27:19
Speaker 6: Sir, yep.
27:20
Speaker 4: And so I take him to the room's already sort
27:23
Speaker 4: of full, and I'm in the ballroom. Elevators and they
27:26
Speaker 4: go really really slow. So I said, hey, Nick, I
27:29
Speaker 4: know you heard a million stories. Going to give you
27:30
Speaker 4: a quick but my grandmother was a chambermaid at the
27:33
Speaker 4: Pierre Hotel, and you guys used to stay at the
27:36
Speaker 4: Pierre when you were touring. And she said at dinner
27:39
Speaker 4: table on Sundays. She always said, you'd leave a five
27:42
Speaker 4: dollar tip on the pillow. And Mick Jagger sees such
27:45
Speaker 4: a nice young man, as Grandma said.
27:47
Speaker 6: So I told him the story and he looks at me.
27:48
Speaker 6: He goes, NT. That's that's nothing, right, mate, but a
27:51
Speaker 6: great story.
27:52
Speaker 4: So anyway, that's my story. I brought him up to
27:54
Speaker 4: the stage.
27:55
Speaker 2: It's an okay story. I think he was spending a
27:57
Speaker 2: little nice to you show us what a nice guy is.
28:00
Speaker 2: He pretended to be thrilled by that story.
28:03
Speaker 4: Yeah. So I want to invite you up to my band,
28:06
Speaker 4: the Band of Brothers Mark playing at the Cornell You're
28:09
Speaker 4: playing where on Saturday? At at Cornell University?
28:13
Speaker 2: Oh? Where's that in Ithaca?
28:15
Speaker 6: Yeah?
28:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if anybody wants to drive six hours to
28:19
Speaker 2: see this.
28:23
Speaker 6: It'll be worth the wait.
28:24
Speaker 4: Yeah. But I'll send you the video one of these days.
28:28
Speaker 4: We've got a good band, great band alllumni guys.
28:32
Speaker 2: Oh that's great. Thanks, I really appreciate it.
28:35
Speaker 5: Jeez.
28:38
Speaker 2: There's these bands. They're all over the suburbs, every suburban
28:42
Speaker 2: every Thursday night they banned, they got and they think
28:47
Speaker 2: they're phenomenal. But anyway, let's go to Tim and White
28:51
Speaker 2: plains Tim, how you doing good?
28:54
Speaker 5: Mark, just wondering why the president. Every time it seems
28:58
Speaker 5: that he's doing something that works, the Iranians say they
29:01
Speaker 5: want to negotiate, and then he stops and lets them
29:04
Speaker 5: off the hook, and they keep dragging things on and
29:07
Speaker 5: on and on. They're like the Knight in the Monty
29:10
Speaker 5: Python movie where can Art the cuts off the right arm,
29:13
Speaker 5: the left arm, the right leg, the left leg, and
29:15
Speaker 5: then the vanquished Night is on the ground with no
29:19
Speaker 5: arms and no legs, and he says, okay, okay, we'll
29:21
Speaker 5: call it a draw.
29:23
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the President does seem to be taking way
29:26
Speaker 2: too I think they're deliberately taking way too long. They're
29:29
Speaker 2: taking as long as they can deliberately because with the
29:32
Speaker 2: straight closed, Iran has no revenue. Their economy is it
29:35
Speaker 2: a complete standstill. Worse than that, it's shut and they're
29:38
Speaker 2: shut down the entire range of economy. Now, this is
29:41
Speaker 2: two months of the straight close. They're just about out
29:43
Speaker 2: of cash. In fact, some people think they got another
29:45
Speaker 2: week or so and then they can't make payroll. There's
29:49
Speaker 2: already tremendous problems in Iran with no revenue coming in.
29:53
Speaker 2: So the longer we can stretch this out the better. Hey,
29:58
Speaker 2: Ted Turner, as we mentioned, passed away eighty seven years old.
30:02
Speaker 2: Massive tributes obviously on CNN, but even Fox everybody else.
30:05
Speaker 2: You'll see it throughout the day. Tributes to Ted Turner.
30:09
Speaker 2: Remember he has a big ranch in Montana. Spent a
30:12
Speaker 2: lot of time there, massive ranch in Montana where he
30:15
Speaker 2: raised buffalo and he was a big you know how
30:19
Speaker 2: all of a sudden people started eating buffalo steak and
30:21
Speaker 2: buffalo That was really Ted Turner in the eighties that
30:23
Speaker 2: started pushing that. You know, he still has a restaurant.
30:26
Speaker 2: It's right over there, is it? Fifty second near Rockefeller Center.
30:31
Speaker 2: Ted Turner's buffalo restaurant is still there. There are some
30:35
Speaker 2: people that swear by buffalo meat. I've tried it. I
30:39
Speaker 2: would swear at it, not for it. But if you
30:42
Speaker 2: want to try Ted Turner's restaurant, it's still there. Hey's
30:45
Speaker 2: speaking of which, Delta Airlines announced no more snacks on
30:49
Speaker 2: the short flights. If it's under three hundred and fifty miles,
30:54
Speaker 2: no snacks, and apparently passengers are all up in arms.
30:58
Speaker 2: They said, well, I'm not going to take Delta, We're
31:00
Speaker 2: going to take another airline. If it's three hundred and
31:02
Speaker 2: fifty miles. What's that? That's about thirty five minute flight?
31:06
Speaker 2: Forty minute flight. Are you telling me you can't go
31:10
Speaker 2: thirty five minutes without a bag of potato chips? You
31:13
Speaker 2: know you don't really need that snack cart on the
31:18
Speaker 2: Delta Airlines. But you can bring your own pretzels, you
31:21
Speaker 2: can bring your own potato chips, you can bring your
31:24
Speaker 2: own doritos. You don't have to depend on them if
31:27
Speaker 2: you don't want to. Let's go to Joe in Elmwood Park. Joe,
31:32
Speaker 2: how you doing.
31:33
Speaker 3: Good morning Mark, Good morning Vincent.
31:35
Speaker 7: Not to change gears? When is Nick surely going to
31:38
Speaker 7: come to New Jersey because things.
31:39
Speaker 6: Are still with the fraud, things are still way at
31:42
Speaker 6: a way out of the Yeah.
31:43
Speaker 2: Nick surely's the young twenty something, young reporter, brilliant guy
31:47
Speaker 2: who went to a Minnesota uncovered billions in fraud that
31:51
Speaker 2: nobody else knew about. He then went to California. He's
31:55
Speaker 2: looking at fraud there. They think the fraud is in
31:57
Speaker 2: the tens of billions. Apparently Ohio is on the list
32:02
Speaker 2: they want to do Ohio. You could do this in
32:03
Speaker 2: every state. I don't think New Jersey is just made
32:07
Speaker 2: for fraud. I mean it's all fraud. I'm talking about
32:09
Speaker 2: government and government programs and all of that. It's just
32:12
Speaker 2: NonStop fraud. That'd be a lot for Nick. Sure, you
32:15
Speaker 2: know that's the problem. Actually, President Trump has signed JD.
32:21
Speaker 2: Vance to be the government guy looking into all this fraud,
32:24
Speaker 2: but he should probably team up with Nick Shirley talk
32:27
Speaker 2: to him, so eventually they'll get on it. It's going
32:30
Speaker 2: to take a while, but eventually they'll start to You know,
32:32
Speaker 2: if he cured all this fraud, government wiste, fraud bloat,
32:37
Speaker 2: you'd free up literally two or three trillion dollars that
32:39
Speaker 2: we could have back. That's all tax payer money. Your
32:43
Speaker 2: taxes could be cut in half if you got rid
32:44
Speaker 2: of all the waste and fraud. Hey, I'll be on
32:47
Speaker 2: cudload tonight actually this afternoon, four to five on the
32:51
