- 0:07Speaker 2: A beautiful sunny day to day. So Hey, as much
- 0:11Speaker 2: as I complain about that FIFA and that World Cup,
- 0:15Speaker 2: don't you feel great that it's gone. There's no more FIFA.
- 0:20Speaker 2: There's no more World Cup traffic closure tie ups. Well,
- 0:24Speaker 2: it's all gone. No more of those screaming fans all
- 0:28Speaker 2: over the place, They're gone. No more FIFA. It is
- 0:31Speaker 2: great now. The only thing is I'm looking at the
- 0:34Speaker 2: numbers here. The FIFA in the New York area brought
- 0:39Speaker 2: in two billion dollars in revenue. Billion with a b
- 0:45Speaker 2: two billion in revenue came into New York from FIFA
- 0:48Speaker 2: around the country. In the United States, FIFA brought in
- 0:52Speaker 2: fifteen billion. Now, I was expected to bring in eleven billion,
- 0:56Speaker 2: but it brought in fifteen billion. And that final, FIFA,
- 1:02Speaker 2: whatever the hell that was that Sunday Final Final game,
- 1:07Speaker 2: sixty eight million people watched it. You never get that
- 1:10Speaker 2: in television anymore. Never That's Oscars, Emmy's, Tony's combined times ten.
- 1:16Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing. Sixty eight million watched the game
- 1:21Speaker 2: where nobody scored for hour after hour after nobody is scoring,
- 1:25Speaker 2: but everybody's watching it. Hey, Legionnaire's disease. Well they think
- 1:32Speaker 2: it's getting under control. Who knows it's You got eighty
- 1:35Speaker 2: seven buildings now with the water cooler tower on top
- 1:39Speaker 2: where they found Legionaire's disease, it's eighty seven. The numbers
- 1:42Speaker 2: up a little now. The criticism of Mamdani is that
- 1:48Speaker 2: his response to the legionnaires. They know what the epicenter was,
- 1:51Speaker 2: they're not saying publicly eighty seventh in Lenxington. But the
- 1:56Speaker 2: response was, well, well, we'll start testing the water cooler
- 2:01Speaker 2: water in those cooling tanks. We'll start testing. Well, that
- 2:04Speaker 2: sounds maybe sounds good. But to do the test they
- 2:08Speaker 2: take a sample and to get the results back takes
- 2:10Speaker 2: two weeks. It takes a couple of weeks to get
- 2:13Speaker 2: the test results. So that's kind of useless. City council
- 2:16Speaker 2: speaker Julie Mennon and others pointing out it was the
- 2:19Speaker 2: wrong response. The response was should have been to order
- 2:23Speaker 2: the immediate disinfecting of all the water tanks on the
- 2:26Speaker 2: upper east side. Just disinfect them. Now, the way you
- 2:30Speaker 2: get this Legionaire's disease on top of a building, You
- 2:34Speaker 2: got those old you know sometimes the most beautiful modern glass.
- 2:37Speaker 2: But on top is that old wooden petticoat junction looking
- 2:41Speaker 2: water barrel on top, and that's got water in it,
- 2:46Speaker 2: and that's still water. It doesn't move now in a
- 2:50Speaker 2: heat wave. This is where we got it. In those
- 2:52Speaker 2: heat waves. When you have a real heat wave, it
- 2:55Speaker 2: heats up that water and that's where the Legionaire's disease
- 2:58Speaker 2: can start. That's where it's a lee Jionella bacteria can
- 3:01Speaker 2: grow in very very very hot, still water. So that's
- 3:05Speaker 2: what happened. Now we don't have any more heat waves
- 3:07Speaker 2: on the horizon, so we should be okay. But he
- 3:09Speaker 2: should have ordered all the buildings around that neighborhood to
- 3:14Speaker 2: immediately disinfect their tanks, not even wait for test results. Hey,
- 3:19Speaker 2: you know we always talk about these congress people senators
- 3:22Speaker 2: and congressmen and women and all the money they make
- 3:25Speaker 2: with the insider trading they're allowed to use insider trading.
- 3:29Speaker 2: If you're in Congress, you have access to all kinds
- 3:32Speaker 2: of inside information. You find out who's going to get
- 3:35Speaker 2: FDA approval before it's public. You find out testing results,
- 3:40Speaker 2: or who's going to get a big of a big
- 3:41Speaker 2: government contract. So you could start insider trading and make
- 3:45Speaker 2: a fortune. And that's what these people in Congress do.
- 3:49Speaker 2: The worst is probably Nancy Pelosi, who on a government
- 3:53Speaker 2: salary suddenly is worth six hundred million from the insider trading.
- 3:57Speaker 2: You know who's really bad that row Kana. He's like
- 4:00Speaker 2: the Indian Adam Schiff roe Kanna, who's another lying, thieving,
- 4:06Speaker 2: rotten Trump arrangement syndrome guy on all the Sunday shows. There,
- 4:10Speaker 2: he's on MSNBC roe Conna insider trading government salary. Suddenly
- 4:16Speaker 2: he's worth sixty five million dollars. Been there two weeks,
- 4:20Speaker 2: He's worth sixty five million dollars. Now, listen to this guy.
- 4:25Speaker 2: This is a real He's like an Adam Shift, just
- 4:26Speaker 2: a real liar. Roe Kanna claimed on his social media
- 4:32Speaker 2: roe Conna said, I do not own or trade stocks.
- 4:36Speaker 2: I have led the fight to ban stock trading. I
- 4:40Speaker 2: do not own or trade stocks. Well, it turns out
- 4:46Speaker 2: his household traded stocks four seven hundred and seventy two times,
- 4:51Speaker 2: almost five thousand times. Now it's his household, so I
- 4:56Speaker 2: guess what he does. He gets the inside information. He
- 4:58Speaker 2: has his wife, his cousin, and his brother. His son
- 5:02Speaker 2: puts the trades in their names. But he did it
- 5:04Speaker 2: five thousand times. So this is horrible. Now here's the
- 5:08Speaker 2: good news that well, not great news. The House passed
- 5:13Speaker 2: a set of restrictions on stock trades stop these lawmakers
- 5:17Speaker 2: from doing this restricting. It's called the Stop Insider Trading Act.
- 5:22Speaker 2: And now this is just the House that I don't
- 5:25Speaker 2: think this will pass the Senate, so it doesn't mean much.
- 5:28Speaker 2: But the bill was passed in the House two hundred
- 5:31Speaker 2: and thirty two to one ninety eight. All Republicans voted
- 5:36Speaker 2: for it, but only thirteen Democrats. Now the Democrats will
- 5:40Speaker 2: argue that the reason they were against this bill is
- 5:42Speaker 2: they and they shouldn't have done this, but they snuck
- 5:45Speaker 2: into the bill voting fraud things that they stuck in
- 5:51Speaker 2: voter ID provisions did you have to have photo ID?
- 5:55Speaker 2: So they messed up the bill by sticking this stuff
- 5:57Speaker 2: in it. But it was a great success for the
- 6:00Speaker 2: House to pass this. If it got to the Senate,
- 6:02Speaker 2: I don't think they'll pass, but it would stop this
- 6:04Speaker 2: insider trading. Here's Mike Johnson.
- 6:06Speaker 3: By way of reminder, this is what we did this week.
- 6:08Speaker 3: The House Republicans passed the Clean cr to keep the
- 6:11Speaker 3: government funded responsibly the Stop Insider Trading Act that bans
- 6:16Speaker 3: lawmakers from trading and buying individual stocks and from abusing
- 6:20Speaker 3: their office for financial gang. The NDAA to provide a
- 6:24Speaker 3: much needed pay raise for our troops and to rebuild
- 6:27Speaker 3: the Arsenal of Freedom.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:29Speaker 2: See again, that's all good stuff, but it's a problem
- 6:31Speaker 2: when you mush them all up into one bill makes
- 6:34Speaker 2: it tough for some people. Hey, blood path at Disney,
- 6:39Speaker 2: massive layoffs at Disney fired a lot of people. Looks
- 6:43Speaker 2: like a thousand people lost their jobs. This is not
- 6:46Speaker 2: the first time it's been cost cutting before at Disney.
- 6:50Speaker 2: A lot of people out. Disney Entertainment, Television, ESPN, Disney Studios, Pixar,
- 6:59Speaker 2: a lot of people go. The new CEO says, we're
- 7:02Speaker 2: building a company that's more agile, better equipped for how
- 7:07Speaker 2: the business is changing. Cost cutting. Well, hey, it's not
- 7:10Speaker 2: just them. You know, people just don't watch TV anymore.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Primetime TV people don't watch it anymore. Daytime TV, they
- 7:17Speaker 2: don't watch it anymore. You know, big primetime show years ago,
- 7:24Speaker 2: you know Law and Order in its heyday, or big
- 7:26Speaker 2: primetime show, you know NYPD Blue. You have twenty million
- 7:31Speaker 2: people watching now big primetime show, two million people are watching,
- 7:36Speaker 2: so it's one tenth the audience they used to have.
- 7:38Speaker 2: So and the same thing with movies. You know, movie
- 7:40Speaker 2: theaters don't do the business they used to do much
- 7:43Speaker 2: a lot fewer movie theaters today, so it's just not
- 7:45Speaker 2: the same anymore. Hey, that weasel governor of New Jersey,
- 7:49Speaker 2: Mikey Sheryl, had to admit. Now, the President made that
- 7:54Speaker 2: speech about there was voter fraud and the recent elections
- 7:58Speaker 2: and all sorts of problems. Of course, the fake news
- 8:01Speaker 2: goes nuts. How dare he networks use their favorite phrase
- 8:05Speaker 2: without evidence? He said, without evidence. Well, there's plenty of evidence.
- 8:10Speaker 2: And yesterday the governor New Jersey, Mikey Cheryl, held a
- 8:14Speaker 2: press conference to announce there was a lot of voter
- 8:16Speaker 2: fraud in New Jersey. She admitted to like eight thousand
- 8:20Speaker 2: non citizens voting. And that's what he's admitting to. And
- 8:25Speaker 2: people think, if that's what he's admitting to, why would
- 8:28Speaker 2: she even admit to that while she's trying to get
- 8:30Speaker 2: ahead of whatever's coming. And if she's admitting to eight thousand,
- 8:34Speaker 2: that means it's probably eighty thousand. She blamed the vendor
- 8:37Speaker 2: the software vendor said, with the fault of the software vendor,
- 8:40Speaker 2: they had the software incorrect or something. In other words,
- 8:43Speaker 2: when you go to motor vehicle, I don't know why
- 8:46Speaker 2: they well, I know why they do this. When you
- 8:47Speaker 2: go to motor vehicle to get your driver's license or
- 8:50Speaker 2: your car registration automatically sign you up to vote. And
- 8:54Speaker 2: under this software, it would sign you up even if
- 8:57Speaker 2: you weren't a citizen, even if you checked off I'm
- 8:59Speaker 2: not citizen, it would register you to vote. So she
- 9:04Speaker 2: blamed the vendor in the software. Well, the vendor came
- 9:06Speaker 2: out yesterday afternoon and said that's absolutely not the case.
- 9:11Speaker 2: I mean, it was the case. But she said the
- 9:13Speaker 2: government knew about it. New Jersey knew about it. They
- 9:16Speaker 2: approved that software, They were told what was happening. They
- 9:21Speaker 2: were informed that's what was happening. So she tried to
- 9:24Speaker 2: pin it on them. At one point, she even tried
- 9:26Speaker 2: to pin it on Trump. But and one thing to
- 9:30Speaker 2: point out, this started, this whole thing started to software.
- 9:33Speaker 2: The whole deal started under Governor Phil Murphy. Another sleeves ball,
- 9:38Speaker 2: but she inherited it. Maybe that's why she was willing
- 9:41Speaker 2: to get ahead of it, because she knows it's going
- 9:42Speaker 2: to be a Phil Murphy problem. She said. She's brought
- 9:46Speaker 2: in an outside group CSG to investigate. I don't know
- 9:51Speaker 2: who CSG is, but it sounds important. It's got initials,
- 9:55Speaker 2: must be something important, but they will investigate. Hey, So,
- 9:59Speaker 2: William shatt and his daughter both announced that they had
- 10:02Speaker 2: stage four cancer. Now this is a few years ago,
- 10:05Speaker 2: and they beat It wasn't easy. It was a big fight,
- 10:09Speaker 2: but they got through stage four cancer, both of them.
- 10:12Speaker 2: And you know, I've always admired William Shatner. We have
- 10:15Speaker 2: him on the show now and then for a lot
- 10:17Speaker 2: of things. One, I mean, he's just a great guy,
- 10:19Speaker 2: a great character, but and a genius at career management.
- 10:24Speaker 2: His entire career. He just keeps going. You know, a
- 10:26Speaker 2: lot of times the guy's in a big hit series
- 10:29Speaker 2: and then can't get anything going for the next thirty years.
- 10:31Speaker 2: He's always got something going on, whether it's singing or
- 10:35Speaker 2: books or whatever. He's always got something going on. And
- 10:40Speaker 2: he's tough. He's really tough. He got through the cancer
- 10:43Speaker 2: stage four he and his daughter, and the daughter, Melanie
- 10:46Speaker 2: talked about how her father told her about how to
- 10:50Speaker 2: fight through things. It's kind of Trump like you just
- 10:52Speaker 2: no matter what you hit with, just keep fighting. But
- 10:54Speaker 2: there's the daughter. His response was like, I'm going to
- 10:58Speaker 2: be fine.
- 10:58Speaker 3: You just were steam roll like the way you do.
- 11:02Speaker 2: You just steamed roll through it like I'm stage four.
- 11:05Speaker 2: I don't believe I'm gonna truly. Yeah, just steam roll
- 11:09Speaker 2: through it. Uh and Shatner, you know, people said, more's
- 11:13Speaker 2: you're afraid. Fear is blinding, Fear mitigates everything. Fear is
- 11:20Speaker 2: it's a wall. If you're told you're gonna die, well
- 11:25Speaker 2: I better get busy and do something. You better get busy.
- 11:29Speaker 2: No time. But now, Yeah, it's one of the things
- 11:34Speaker 2: you got to admire about Trump, love him or hate him.
- 11:37Speaker 2: The guy is fearless. You know. They used to talk
- 11:40Speaker 2: about even Nixon's enemies. Nixon, they would say, was so
- 11:43Speaker 2: tough no matter what he what he got hit with,
- 11:46Speaker 2: he'd battle his way back. He'd pick himself off off
- 11:49Speaker 2: the canvas and fight back. And but Trump has done
- 11:52Speaker 2: that a million times more. I mean, look what this
- 11:55Speaker 2: guy went through before the the year before the election.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Look what he went through. Gets arrested and indicted in
- 12:03Speaker 2: four different places. Can you imagine if you got arrested and
- 12:05Speaker 2: indicted you're going on trial facing prison. You're on trial,
- 12:09Speaker 2: you got to go to court. You've been indicted fifty
- 12:15Speaker 2: Imagine what you would feel like, which, well, okay, imagine
- 12:17Speaker 2: if that happened on four different cities at once, all
- 12:21Speaker 2: at the same time. You're on trial in pomp Beach
- 12:23Speaker 2: for documents, you're on trial in Georgia for election this fraud.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Or you're on trial in New York for a charge
- 12:29Speaker 2: nobody can still figure out. You're being sued by egen carry.
- 12:33Speaker 2: You're in four courtrooms at all at the same time.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Talk about four d chests. You're fighting four major legal
- 12:38Speaker 2: battles at once. The guy never flinched, never even blinked.
- 12:44Speaker 2: It's an amazing talent to have to be that tough
- 12:47Speaker 2: to fight through anything like that. But he did it.
- 12:51Speaker 2: You got to admire that. It's pretty impressive. Hey, the
- 12:54Speaker 2: other thing with President Trump announced they're going to do
- 12:56Speaker 2: the Trump accounts. You know, we got Social Security, which
- 13:01Speaker 2: is a system it's about to collapse. It's almost out
- 13:04Speaker 2: of money. The Trump accounts a pretty good idea. When
- 13:06Speaker 2: you're born, when the baby is born one thousand dollars,
- 13:10Speaker 2: government puts one thousand dollars into an account. They put
- 13:12Speaker 2: it in a real solid investment s and P five
- 13:16Speaker 2: hundred that kind of stuff, and you can't take the
- 13:19Speaker 2: money out. It just keeps compounding and its Warren Buffett
- 13:22Speaker 2: always says the best way to get rich is invested
- 13:25Speaker 2: money that just keeps compounding. So by the time you're
- 13:28Speaker 2: twenty one, that thousand dollars could be a couple hundred,
- 13:31Speaker 2: three hundred thousand, whatever. You could use it for a
- 13:34Speaker 2: college education, you could leave it in there, it would
- 13:37Speaker 2: by the time you're thirty, it'd be a million dollars.
- 13:40Speaker 2: It's a great idea. So they started and Michael Dell
- 13:42Speaker 2: is one of the big backers of this. He donated
- 13:46Speaker 2: some crazy number like one hundred million to fund these things.
- 13:49Speaker 2: But this is President Trump on the Trump accounts.
- 13:51Speaker 1: And for decades Washington politicians gave our children absolutely nothing
- 13:56Speaker 1: but debt. But the Trump accounts were finally seeing and
- 14:00Speaker 1: ensuring that every young American gets a great start in
- 14:03Speaker 1: life and a really fair shot at the American dream,
- 14:06Speaker 1: which is what we all want. They all aspire to that.
- 14:10Speaker 2: That's this is such a great thing. I was watching
- 14:13Speaker 2: MSNBC Struggle to tell you what's wrong with it it's
- 14:16Speaker 2: so good. I think they were tried very hard to
- 14:19Speaker 2: tell you whether it's a bit, it's a horrible thing.
- 14:21Speaker 2: It's another Trump disasterday. They couldn't quite make the case though.
- 14:25Speaker 2: There's really no way to put that down. Hey, we'll
- 14:27Speaker 2: take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
