- 0:00Speaker 1: O day. So a lot going on, you know, the
- 0:03Speaker 1: crazy Democrats, the protesters, the screaming Mam Donnie crowd, all
- 0:08Speaker 1: the Democrats, the MSNBC, CNN crowd yelling and screaming, demanding
- 0:13Speaker 1: a ceasefire in Israel, Gaza demanding a ceasefire that's been
- 0:18Speaker 1: going on for a year and a half, demanding a ceasefire.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Well now they've got a ceasefire. They're totally silent. Know
- 0:26Speaker 1: what the hell to do this? The last thing they
- 0:28Speaker 1: wanted was a ceasefire. They were just pretending they wanted it.
- 0:31Speaker 1: They they're really upset about this ceasefire and this peace deal.
- 0:37Speaker 1: It hurts their campaign to go after Israel. Mom Donnie
- 0:40Speaker 1: uses an election issue a lot of these Democratic candidates.
- 0:44Speaker 1: It was a big election issue. It kind of lost it.
- 0:46Speaker 1: It was probably a lot of the debate prep for
- 0:49Speaker 1: Thursday night. Mom Donnie was going to go after Israel,
- 0:53Speaker 1: but harder to do it now with the ceasefire and
- 0:55Speaker 1: the peace plan in praise place. So it's going to
- 0:58Speaker 1: be a problem ipeaking to protest just beware this Saturday.
- 1:03Speaker 1: They call it the No Kings protest, silliest name No Kings,
- 1:10Speaker 1: and it's going to be massive. It's going to be
- 1:13Speaker 1: all over the country. It's not in any one place.
- 1:15Speaker 1: You know, when they have a big protest and it's
- 1:17Speaker 1: downtown around city, all who cares. But this is going
- 1:21Speaker 1: to be everywhere in the suburbs and wherever you live.
- 1:24Speaker 1: It's going to be near you. If you're in Long Island,
- 1:26Speaker 1: if you're in Connecticut, if you're in New Jersey, wherever
- 1:29Speaker 1: you are in the country. These protests, there's estimated to
- 1:33Speaker 1: be twenty five hundred of them, are going to take place,
- 1:37Speaker 1: These no Kings protests. Now what are they protesting exactly?
- 1:41Speaker 1: What are they calling a king? I guess I don't know.
- 1:43Speaker 1: A guy wants to close the border. What else is
- 1:48Speaker 1: the I don't know why they call him a king?
- 1:50Speaker 1: What is that all about? The crime? Wanting to send
- 1:53Speaker 1: troops in to go after it's been done all the
- 1:55Speaker 1: time by the way, a president sending troops National Guard
- 1:59Speaker 1: into local areas to do something. The most famous was
- 2:03Speaker 1: John F. Kennedy when he had to integrate the South.
- 2:06Speaker 1: He had a terrible problem there. The Southern governors from
- 2:10Speaker 1: George Wallace to Lester Maddox to Mississippi, Georgia, these kind
- 2:15Speaker 1: of places would not allow black students to go to college.
- 2:19Speaker 1: And some of these there was the famous governor Lester
- 2:22Speaker 1: Matti stood in the doorway with an axe in his
- 2:24Speaker 1: hand to stop them. George Wallace, same kind of behavior.
- 2:29Speaker 1: So Kennedy sent troops something like seventeen thousand troops into
- 2:32Speaker 1: the South to help those kids get into school and
- 2:36Speaker 1: to stop those governors. Seventeen thousand military sent in by Kennedy.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Now what was the Democrats reaction? Well, he was a hero,
- 2:43Speaker 1: he was a Nobel prize, he was a genius for it.
- 2:46Speaker 1: He was the most wonderful thing anybody ever did. But
- 2:49Speaker 1: it's one of those deals where it's only bad if
- 2:52Speaker 1: Trump does it. If anybody else does it, it's great.
- 2:55Speaker 1: So now Trump wants to clean up the crime in Chicago,
- 3:00Speaker 1: in Portland. This prime has been going on for so
- 3:02Speaker 1: long in Chicago. How many years have we been talking
- 3:05Speaker 1: about this? It's a killing field. Every week every weekend,
- 3:09Speaker 1: forty five people are shot in Chicago. It's out of control.
- 3:13Speaker 1: If we have listeners in Chicago, they can tell us
- 3:17Speaker 1: you got a couple of nice areas with all sorts
- 3:20Speaker 1: of fancy stores and great restaurants and it's beautiful. Then
- 3:22Speaker 1: you go a few blocks the other way and you're
- 3:25Speaker 1: in a war zone. It's been like that in Washington,
- 3:28Speaker 1: d C, Chicago and many of our major cities. So
- 3:31Speaker 1: Trump wants to clean up Chicago, do something about the crime.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Democrats are furious, furious, and this is the no Kings,
- 3:41Speaker 1: no kings. They're going to stand up to him. Pritzker
- 3:44Speaker 1: is going to court. He's going to assume him. Pritzker
- 3:46Speaker 1: is going to do it. That's that big fat slab.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Ralph Cramdon looking governor and Trump was asked about Pritzker.
- 3:53Speaker 2: I think he should beg for help because he's running
- 3:56Speaker 2: a bad operation and he's letting people be killed city
- 4:01Speaker 2: because he doesn't want in Chicago.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Yeah, he's letting people be killed every forty five people.
- 4:06Speaker 1: If you were running the place and forty five people
- 4:08Speaker 1: were shot last weekend, wouldn't you go crazy trying to
- 4:12Speaker 1: stop this from happening. Well, it's happened every weekend for years,
- 4:16Speaker 1: for decades. They couldn't care less in Chicago. They let
- 4:19Speaker 1: it happen. But these Democrats are just going nuts. You know,
- 4:24Speaker 1: Bill Maher was a pretty left wing Democrat, but now
- 4:26Speaker 1: they're so nuts, they're way to the left of Bill Maher.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Bill Maher even defending Trump. You know, Trump has done
- 4:33Speaker 1: some great things as president, and just he's only been
- 4:36Speaker 1: president like twenty minutes. This is only like six months.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Look how much he's gotten done in six months.
- 4:42Speaker 2: You cannot ever deny success. You just have to give
- 4:45Speaker 2: your respect, even if it's not your thing, have the
- 4:49Speaker 2: humility to give it up for enormous success on any level.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Trump not my choice, didn't vote for him, but so
- 5:00Speaker 2: a lot of people did. And he's I can't deny
- 5:05Speaker 2: the success.
- 5:06Speaker 1: I can't either.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the president.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Now. It looks pretty amazing, this peace agreement in Israel,
- 5:12Speaker 1: and it may turn out to be the greatest piece
- 5:15Speaker 1: of deal ever and may transform the Middle East. I know,
- 5:18Speaker 1: if you're watching Morning Joe, they'll tell you everything that's
- 5:20Speaker 1: going to go wrong. If you're watching CNN Morning Joe,
- 5:24Speaker 1: New York to the rebuilding, rebuilding is very difficult, and
- 5:28Speaker 1: they show you the pictures of Gaza all burned out,
- 5:31Speaker 1: all the blown up, bombed out neighbors. One of the
- 5:33Speaker 1: rebuilding is very difficult. Yeah, not forgot like Donald Trump,
- 5:36Speaker 1: he does this in his sleep. The guy builds hundred
- 5:39Speaker 1: story skyscrapers all over the world. If you've seen these things,
- 5:43Speaker 1: he builds these hundred story skyscrapers, the magnificent, gleaming glass,
- 5:47Speaker 1: beautiful state of the Earth. Well, I think you can
- 5:50Speaker 1: rebuild Gaza. It's not that complicated. And when you got
- 5:54Speaker 1: zillions of dollars and you've got a number of nations
- 5:57Speaker 1: helping you, so this could be pretty amazing. But these
- 6:01Speaker 1: left wing cooks go nuts. Now look at this. Look
- 6:06Speaker 1: at this Neil Young. Anybody remember Neil Young? Remember Neil Young?
- 6:13Speaker 1: That was like nineteen seventy two Heart of Gold picture
- 6:17Speaker 1: Neil Young. He's like that. It looks like a scarecrow.
- 6:21Speaker 1: It looks like he did those clothes. It looks like
- 6:23Speaker 1: he robbed the scarecrow. He looks like a dusty, musty
- 6:25Speaker 1: old Neil Young. Well, he just pulled all of his
- 6:30Speaker 1: music off Amazon. He has pulled his music. He is
- 6:36Speaker 1: taking it off Amazon now to pull all his music.
- 6:40Speaker 1: What's that two songs? Heart of Gold? What else? Harvest Moon?
- 6:46Speaker 1: That was pretty good. That's a pretty good song, that
- 6:48Speaker 1: Harvest Moon. That's two Cinnamon Girl? What the hell are
- 6:55Speaker 1: you talking about? Cinnamon Girl? He's not a big hit.
- 7:00Speaker 1: It was a minor, minor miner. Okay, but there's nobody
- 7:05Speaker 1: on Amazon looking for Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young. I'd
- 7:08Speaker 1: like to get the actual Amazon data. How many people
- 7:11Speaker 1: searched for a Cinnamon Girl? Okay, let's say it's three.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Let's say it's three. And they're also they're all from
- 7:17Speaker 1: like nineteen seventy three. It's a millionaire. When was Harvest
- 7:21Speaker 1: Moon seventy four or something like that. So he's pulled
- 7:23Speaker 1: his music off Amazon. I guarantee you we do not
- 7:27Speaker 1: have a nation of twenty six year olds going. Of course,
- 7:29Speaker 1: what happened to Neil Young. I can't find Neil Young.
- 7:32Speaker 1: I don't think they're that worried about it. But this
- 7:34Speaker 1: guy is on the warpath. He's seventy nine years old now,
- 7:37Speaker 1: and he goes on social media and announces that he's
- 7:40Speaker 1: pulled all his music from Amazon. He said because he
- 7:45Speaker 1: believes founder Jeff Bezos back's President Trump. You know these
- 7:52Speaker 1: guys like Jeff Bezos, he's a good guy, but they're
- 7:54Speaker 1: like James Bond Villain's. They don't back anybody. They're their
- 7:57Speaker 1: own country. They they back everybody and anybody. It's whatever's
- 8:02Speaker 1: good for that moment. But Neil Young writes, forget Amazon,
- 8:06Speaker 1: forget Whole Foods, forget Facebook. He writes in this post,
- 8:12Speaker 1: buy local, buy direct, Well, how are you going to
- 8:17Speaker 1: buy direct? Don't you have to go to Amazon to
- 8:21Speaker 1: do that? Wait a minute. When you buy on Amazon,
- 8:24Speaker 1: you know, most of the time, ninety eight percent of
- 8:26Speaker 1: the time, you're not buying anything from Amazon. You're buying
- 8:28Speaker 1: from local places. Amazon's just a delivery service. But he's
- 8:34Speaker 1: yelling and screaming on social media. Amazon needs you to
- 8:38Speaker 1: buy from them. Don't they shut down our government, your income,
- 8:42Speaker 1: your safety, your family's health security. Now you might be saying,
- 8:47Speaker 1: the hell is he talking about? I don't know. It's
- 8:48Speaker 1: Neil Young. I mean, who knows what the hell this
- 8:50Speaker 1: guy's smoking. Take America back together, stop buying from the
- 8:54Speaker 1: big corporations, support local business, do the right thing. Show
- 8:59Speaker 1: who you are now. Eight months ago, eleven months ago,
- 9:05Speaker 1: it was Joe Biden. Amazon was just fine with him.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Then Facebook was great. You know, whatever Bezos is doing
- 9:12Speaker 1: with Trump, he was doing it with Biden. They do
- 9:14Speaker 1: it with whatever president is in there. So what happened
- 9:16Speaker 1: on social media when he did this, Well, there was
- 9:18Speaker 1: huge backlash against Neil Young. All these younger generation people
- 9:25Speaker 1: right here's like, I'll look at all these comments. Dude
- 9:27Speaker 1: is a kook sad What happened to him? Who's buying
- 9:31Speaker 1: his music? Anyway? He's a has been who is doing
- 9:34Speaker 1: this just to get attention. Now, that could be some
- 9:37Speaker 1: truth to that, could be something like that. He might
- 9:40Speaker 1: be pulling his music. Oh he pulled it off Spotify too,
- 9:43Speaker 1: and now from Amazon. Nobody cares if your mused removes
- 9:48Speaker 1: his music. So but anyway, you gotta remember Neil Young
- 9:51Speaker 1: is like they're like a burned out old hippie from
- 9:54Speaker 1: the late sixties. You know, they hated Nixon, but Nixon
- 9:58Speaker 1: was like a humble, quiet guy compared to Trump. So
- 10:00Speaker 1: Trump it really drives them crazy. So hey, did you
- 10:05Speaker 1: know there's still such a thing as it's called Time magazine?
- 10:07Speaker 1: As anybody, if you're under forty, you don't know what
- 10:09Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Time magazine used to be a big
- 10:12Speaker 1: deal many many years ago. In fact, in its day,
- 10:16Speaker 1: it was probably the biggest magazine in the country. There's
- 10:18Speaker 1: nothing more important than Time Magazine. To be on the cover,
- 10:23Speaker 1: that was a major, major thing. I was on the
- 10:25Speaker 1: cover of Time magazine. There was nothing bigger in the media.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Now.
- 10:30Speaker 1: If you're under forty, don't know what the hell I'm
- 10:31Speaker 1: talking about. A magazine. It's like it's like printed, It's
- 10:34Speaker 1: like a thing you could hold in your hand. And
- 10:37Speaker 1: they had magazines. You'd buy People magazine, you'd buy Time magazine.
- 10:41Speaker 1: There was Newsweek magazine. Believe it or not, they still exist.
- 10:45Speaker 1: There is actually still something called Newsweek magazine. There's a
- 10:48Speaker 1: Time magazine. I don't know what where would you get
- 10:50Speaker 1: this Time magazine. I guess it's a website. I guess
- 10:54Speaker 1: you could go look at their website. But anyway, they
- 10:56Speaker 1: put Donald Trump on the cover because of the Israel
- 10:58Speaker 1: Peace agreement, though piece in the Middle East. It was
- 11:01Speaker 1: a major historic accomplishment, so he had to put him
- 11:04Speaker 1: on the cover. But they went and found the single
- 11:08Speaker 1: ugliest picture ever of Donald Trump. It was taken from below.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Somebody got the camera under him and shot up, so
- 11:16Speaker 1: you see his neck looks wrinkled, his face looks old,
- 11:20Speaker 1: and it looks so weird. When you first look at
- 11:22Speaker 1: the cover, I'm not just a joke. You'd think it's
- 11:24Speaker 1: Joe Biden. It's from an angle below where it looks
- 11:27Speaker 1: like he's Joe Biden for a second. I think that
- 11:30Speaker 1: was the thinking here. But Trump when after Time Magazine
- 11:35Speaker 1: saying that, I mean, and it's obvious they did it deliberately.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Obviously did it deliberately. You can see a million pictures
- 11:42Speaker 1: of what happened to Middle East. They all look fine.
- 11:45Speaker 1: This is the weirdest looking picture, Trump writes on truth
- 11:49Speaker 1: Social Time magazine wrote a relatively good story about me,
- 11:52Speaker 1: but the picture maybe the worst of all time. Really
- 11:55Speaker 1: weird taking pictures from underneath, but this is a super
- 11:58Speaker 1: bad picture. Deserve to be called out. Now, this could
- 12:02Speaker 1: be a Neil Young move. Maybe there's nobody on earth
- 12:06Speaker 1: that knows about this Time magazine anymore. Maybe they did
- 12:09Speaker 1: it just maybe just to get some attention, just to
- 12:13Speaker 1: get somebody to know that Time magazine actually still exists. Hey,
- 12:18Speaker 1: sixty minutes working overtime, trying to convince you that everything
- 12:22Speaker 1: with Trump is a disaster. So now sixty minutes trying
- 12:25Speaker 1: to convince you there's going to be a stock market crash.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Stock market doing great at all time highs. Right now,
- 12:31Speaker 1: it's up. Everything's up, the economy is doing great. But
- 12:35Speaker 1: they're always trying to convince you it's Trump. There's going
- 12:37Speaker 1: to be a crash or recession. So they go to
- 12:40Speaker 1: they do a piece on Andrew Ross Sorkin. He's on
- 12:44Speaker 1: sixty minutes. You know, he's on CNBC, so you know,
- 12:47Speaker 1: if he's on CNBC, this is a far left Trump
- 12:50Speaker 1: hating guy. He's written a new book, Reliving nineteen twenty nine.
- 12:55Speaker 1: It's about a stock market crash. He's predicting a crash,
- 12:58Speaker 1: so naturally sixty minutes can't get him on the air
- 13:00Speaker 1: fast enough. They do a whole ten to fifteen minute
- 13:02Speaker 1: piece on them. But he does make one point though,
- 13:05Speaker 1: he said this AI stuff AI is causing a some
- 13:12Speaker 1: some think that's the rise in a lot of the stocks.
- 13:14Speaker 1: These companies now can use AI and get things done cheaper.
- 13:18Speaker 1: It cuts down on how many employees. But he thinks
- 13:21Speaker 1: there could be an AI crash coming. But now he argues,
- 13:26Speaker 1: you know, they try to tell you the economy so
- 13:27Speaker 1: bad under Trump, but he's arguing, it's so great. We
- 13:30Speaker 1: could be facing a disaster here. So but the problem
- 13:34Speaker 1: with AI, the big problem. Experts are predicting it'll replace
- 13:38Speaker 1: a lot of jobs, not just accounting that sort of stuff,
- 13:42Speaker 1: but all sorts of jobs, even the lawyers, you know,
- 13:45Speaker 1: there's websites now where instead of hiring a lawyer, you
- 13:49Speaker 1: can just use AI. It'll figure out legally what you
- 13:53Speaker 1: should do. I mean, there's amazing uses of AI. So
- 13:56Speaker 1: some experts think, you know, whatever you have austrial revolution,
- 14:01Speaker 1: machines come in at whatever things are invented. It puts
- 14:05Speaker 1: a lot of people out of work. But they think
- 14:06Speaker 1: with AI, this could be the biggest revolution of all
- 14:09Speaker 1: and it could I hate to say this, some think
- 14:12Speaker 1: it could put almost one hundred million people out of work.
- 14:16Speaker 1: It could be devastating. Now, whenever you have one of
- 14:18Speaker 1: these situations like the industrial revolution, everybody eventually goes back
- 14:22Speaker 1: to work, finding something else to do. But that transition
- 14:25Speaker 1: can take years, can take five years, ten years. But anyway,
- 14:29Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three two one
- 14:33Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
- 14:36Speaker 1: one zero seven ten
