0:02
Speaker 2: Live from the WR Life Back studios.
0:12
Speaker 1: Whoa hey, a lot to get to this hour. We'll
0:15
Speaker 1: get to the elections, the primaries last night. We'll get
0:19
Speaker 1: to President Trump. We'll get to Hormuz, We'll get to
0:22
Speaker 1: the Carnegie Deli. It's coming back. ABC is suing the
0:26
Speaker 1: Trump administration. So you got seventy seven days until the midterm.
0:32
Speaker 1: Seventy seven days from now. It happens the Florida primaries, Well,
0:38
Speaker 1: you got this crazy socialist who won. This is this
0:43
Speaker 1: one race. The rest were the normal candidates. One socialists
0:46
Speaker 1: got defeated everywhere else. But it's good because it means
0:50
Speaker 1: the civil war continues within the Democratic Party. The civil
0:54
Speaker 1: war continues there. We'll get back to that Pete hegxith
1:00
Speaker 1: traveling to Iowa. People are wondering, what the hell is
1:05
Speaker 1: he doing in Iowa. Pete Heggs at the Defense Secretary.
1:09
Speaker 1: Probably should be at the Pentagon full time, but there
1:12
Speaker 1: he was in Iowa.
1:14
Speaker 3: Governor Nusa Mary Mudamie, govern Hulkle, I want you to
1:18
Speaker 3: listen to that tape.
1:19
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. It
1:20
Speaker 1: sounds like you had a sore throat. That's the wrong cut.
1:22
Speaker 1: That's Tom Holman. I was wondering what happened to his
1:26
Speaker 1: voice when he sounded like the here's Pete exit in Iowa,
1:28
Speaker 1: and let me tell you where it really matters. It
1:30
Speaker 1: really matters in Washington, d C.
1:32
Speaker 4: When you need allies to stand alongside President Trump and
1:36
Speaker 4: ensure that our military gets what it needs.
1:41
Speaker 1: Okay, but what the hell is he doing in Iowa?
1:44
Speaker 1: What is this all about? Is he running for president?
1:47
Speaker 1: Is he thinking he'll be a candidate in twenty twenty eight.
1:51
Speaker 1: If he is, I think he's a little crazy. I mean,
1:53
Speaker 1: it's not the time for him. And uh, you got
1:59
Speaker 1: a lot of great candidates. You got jd Vance, you
2:01
Speaker 1: got Marco Rubio, you got Scott Bessen, you got a
2:05
Speaker 1: lot of better people in the administration. I mean, actually
2:08
Speaker 1: has been pretty good as Defense secretary. Heavily criticized and
2:12
Speaker 1: people argue that he's not qualified, But meantime, as Secretary
2:18
Speaker 1: of Defense, he's pulled off about twenty seven of the
2:21
Speaker 1: most amazing military operations in history, from the taken out
2:27
Speaker 1: of the Iran nuclear reactor to Venezuela capturing Maduro. I
2:32
Speaker 1: mean he's pulled off some of the most unbelievable military operations.
2:35
Speaker 1: So he's been flawless as far as execution as Defense Secretary.
2:40
Speaker 1: But but I don't think he's a presidential candidate. What
2:45
Speaker 1: how is this guy thinking. Let's get back to that
2:48
Speaker 1: other cut. This was Tom Holman. Hockel, Kathy Hockel, crazy
2:52
Speaker 1: Governor Kathy Hochel with her sanctuary state defend the illegals
2:58
Speaker 1: no matter what. Uh, you know, what Homan is doing
3:02
Speaker 1: right now is trying to remove the illegals that are murdering, raping, robbing,
3:08
Speaker 1: And that's what Hokel is fighting. But listen to Homan.
3:10
Speaker 3: No governor knew some Marry Mundammie. Governor Hokel, I want
3:14
Speaker 3: you to listen to that tape of that murder and
3:16
Speaker 3: listen to that little girl fight for every breath.
3:19
Speaker 1: Listen to the terror in her voice. This sort of
3:22
Speaker 1: girl fought to stay alive.
3:24
Speaker 5: Listen to that tape.
3:26
Speaker 2: Then tell me that.
3:27
Speaker 3: You totally justified what you're doing with sanctuary cities.
3:31
Speaker 1: You can't square that well, I know, but yeah, he's
3:34
Speaker 1: absolutely right. But they need they need a boogeyman somebody.
3:37
Speaker 1: They always create a boogeyman. That's how they campaigned, you know,
3:40
Speaker 1: and Culter, she'll be with us in the next hour.
3:42
Speaker 1: Wrote a book about this once. I'll ask her about this.
3:45
Speaker 1: It goes back to the French Revolution where the liberals
3:49
Speaker 1: always they created some boogeyman we had to go after,
3:52
Speaker 1: and now it's Ice. You know, before that, it was
3:56
Speaker 1: you know, George Floyd's stuff. Before that, it was they
3:58
Speaker 1: always create every election. Before that, it was white supremacy.
4:02
Speaker 1: Before that, it was QAnon, but nobody knew what the hell.
4:06
Speaker 1: QAnon was some chat group on the Internet. And then
4:09
Speaker 1: before that it was the the alt right. You had
4:12
Speaker 1: to fear of the alt right. Nobody knew what the
4:14
Speaker 1: alt right was. The Tea Party. Before the Tea Party
4:18
Speaker 1: was a handful of senior citizens with pickets signs. But
4:22
Speaker 1: they're doing it now with Ice. It's this evil boogeyman
4:25
Speaker 1: that we have to stand up to. So it's not
4:28
Speaker 1: going to work. It just won't. And Hoko, as we mentioned,
4:35
Speaker 1: has agreed to debate Bruce Blakeman. I think she's been
4:38
Speaker 1: putting it off, avoiding it, ducking the debates. I think
4:41
Speaker 1: the reason she finally caved and agreed is she's looking
4:43
Speaker 1: at the polls. Blakeman was twenty five points behind. Then
4:46
Speaker 1: he was twenty points behind, then he was fifteen, then
4:48
Speaker 1: he was ten. Now he's five or six points behind.
4:51
Speaker 1: So she's agreed to debate him. The catches. It's going
4:55
Speaker 1: to be on New York One, which is the least
4:59
Speaker 1: watched station in the world, very few viewers, and the
5:02
Speaker 1: other catches it's the most left wing biased. It's Errol Lewis,
5:06
Speaker 1: very nice guy, but the most left wing biased guy
5:09
Speaker 1: in the world. And all the New York one political
5:13
Speaker 1: reporter is very very left wing. So that's coming. They
5:17
Speaker 1: haven't set a date yet. Hey, Straight of horn Moose.
5:20
Speaker 1: President Trump putting out a map where it says instead
5:25
Speaker 1: of Straight of Hormose, it says New US Territory. Now
5:29
Speaker 1: this is just to irk these Iranians, these crazy lunatics
5:33
Speaker 1: running things there, hiding in their cave. Straight of hor
5:38
Speaker 1: Moose is partially open. As you said yesterday, about nine
5:41
Speaker 1: million barrels a day are moving through the Straight of
5:43
Speaker 1: horm Moose every day. It's usually twenty million, but it's
5:47
Speaker 1: nine million barrels a day right now. That's why the
5:49
Speaker 1: price of oil really has not spiked at all. It's
5:51
Speaker 1: gone up a little, but it hasn't spiked it. It's
5:54
Speaker 1: eighty five dollars right now. Now here's the bad news Russia. Well,
5:59
Speaker 1: actually it's not totally bad news. Intelligence shows that Russia
6:04
Speaker 1: is now shipping drones, missiles, explosives to Iran, trying to
6:11
Speaker 1: restock Iran, trying to help resupply them, and more than
6:17
Speaker 1: two dozen Russian ships, many of them under sanctions. They're
6:22
Speaker 1: not supposed to be traveling, but they crossed the Caspian
6:25
Speaker 1: Sea from Russia. You can take the Caspian Sea and
6:28
Speaker 1: end up on the north coast of Iran. This is
6:31
Speaker 1: nowhere near the Strait oh Hormusk, but they're going to
6:33
Speaker 1: the north coast of Iran and dropping off this stuff.
6:38
Speaker 1: Israeli intelligence shows this, Our intelligence shows this. So Iran's
6:42
Speaker 1: getting drone components and small arms ammunition from Russia. Now,
6:48
Speaker 1: the good news about this, it means because normally they
6:50
Speaker 1: would make this stuff themselves, they could manufacture their own
6:53
Speaker 1: it means we took out all their factories and all
6:56
Speaker 1: their facilities, so they're not able to make it anymore.
6:59
Speaker 1: Now the good news is, in the last round of bombing,
7:04
Speaker 1: we took out all the railroads, so it's not going
7:07
Speaker 1: to be easier for them to transport this stuff. I mean,
7:10
Speaker 1: it'll have to come by truck. But we did take
7:14
Speaker 1: out a lot of stuff, a lot of infrastructure. All
7:16
Speaker 1: their railroads are going, so it's not going to be
7:19
Speaker 1: so easy for them. Hey, Letitia James, the crazy, crazy,
7:26
Speaker 1: dirty Attorney general going after political opponents. A lot of
7:32
Speaker 1: people are going after her. Now there's a New York City.
7:34
Speaker 1: It's supposedly a charity. It was set up, set up
7:41
Speaker 1: to supposedly be a charity, but it looks like it's
7:45
Speaker 1: some dirty political slush fund. It's right under her nose.
7:49
Speaker 1: She's doing nothing about it. New York Post huge story
7:53
Speaker 1: about it. It's the West Harlem Development Corporation and they've
7:57
Speaker 1: put one hundred million dollars into it, but it looks
8:00
Speaker 1: like it's all going to political cronies. It's all it's
8:04
Speaker 1: supposed to be a nonprofit helping the community, and it
8:07
Speaker 1: looks like the money is all going to patronage Favors.
8:12
Speaker 1: Bribes the New York Post, demanding that she look into this.
8:16
Speaker 1: Why isn't she doing anything? It's right under her nose.
8:19
Speaker 1: She's doing nothing about it. This organization is stuffed with
8:23
Speaker 1: a bunch of anti Israel mom Donnie Cronies. It's a
8:27
Speaker 1: poster child for government waste and fraud. Letitia James has
8:31
Speaker 1: been told over and over again about it, not investigating,
8:35
Speaker 1: not doing anything about it. Again, it's just a patronage machine.
8:40
Speaker 1: Absolutely awful that she's not going after it. Hey, you know, Harvard,
8:46
Speaker 1: Harvard has become one of the most disgusting places on
8:50
Speaker 1: earth from the anti Semitism. This is university once had
8:55
Speaker 1: an actual, an actual Nazi chapter on its campus. Harvard
9:02
Speaker 1: actually did. And now there's a big lawsuit against Harvard
9:06
Speaker 1: because apparently they have a morgue at Harvard. Believe it
9:10
Speaker 1: or not, there's a morgue there. They have a medical
9:13
Speaker 1: school there. It's not a great medical school, but the
9:17
Speaker 1: medical school has a morgue I guess where they do
9:19
Speaker 1: autopsies and teach that kind of stuff. So the morgue
9:22
Speaker 1: has a lot of corpses that are apparently donated to Harvard.
9:27
Speaker 1: But it turns out the Harvard morgue, the morga manager,
9:33
Speaker 1: was unloading these corpses on the black market for a profit.
9:37
Speaker 1: So the school got sued like crazy over it. I mean,
9:41
Speaker 1: it's a really coolish thing but Harvard is just one
9:44
Speaker 1: of the ugliest places in America, and apparently they're going
9:48
Speaker 1: to settle the suit for fifty three million dollars a
9:52
Speaker 1: Boston judge to prove the settlement. Harvard paying fifty three
9:56
Speaker 1: million to just get rid of this because it's very,
10:00
Speaker 1: very embarrassing for them and they don't need any more embarrassing.
10:04
Speaker 1: You know about that Penn State cocaine ring, it's a
10:08
Speaker 1: bunch of students, like eleven students put together a cocaine ring.
10:12
Speaker 1: You know, he in any college, I'm sure there's somebody
10:14
Speaker 1: selling cocaine. You know, some students on campus selling drugs,
10:18
Speaker 1: but this was a very organized ring. You know, Penn State.
10:23
Speaker 1: These guys should be in a business school there, because
10:25
Speaker 1: they put together a hell of a cocaine ring. And
10:28
Speaker 1: you're talking massive amounts of money, an enormous ring. So
10:31
Speaker 1: eleven of them were caught and arrested with one other person.
10:35
Speaker 1: There's a twelfth person arrested. It turns out it was
10:37
Speaker 1: one of the fathers. But when he found out about this,
10:40
Speaker 1: the father jumped in and tried to cover up everything
10:42
Speaker 1: for these students. Apparently it was part of a fraternity,
10:46
Speaker 1: but they built an enormous cocaine ring on campus. You know,
10:51
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a fraternity and they turn it
10:55
Speaker 1: into breaking bad. I mean, these guys, just awful stuff
10:58
Speaker 1: going on there. So, hey, Florida, you got a socialist
11:03
Speaker 1: who's won there. You know, most of the socialists were defeated,
11:07
Speaker 1: but one got through, and that's only because she was
11:08
Speaker 1: running against that creepy Vinman. But she's an Agnes. Is
11:14
Speaker 1: that her name, Agnes Nixon? Or no, that's the soap
11:18
Speaker 1: opera writer Agnes Nixon here. But listen, it's just a crazy,
11:23
Speaker 1: screaming socialist.
11:26
Speaker 6: A shadow of it.
11:27
Speaker 2: Down organized people beat big mine.
11:34
Speaker 1: So but again, you gotta have Anngie Nixon's your name, Angie,
11:38
Speaker 1: heavy Cuban population, they're not voting for any socialists down there.
11:44
Speaker 1: So hey, we reported last hour the Carnegie Deli is reopening.
11:50
Speaker 1: If you listen to some news it says rumor, it's
11:53
Speaker 1: not a rumor. It's reopening. Check out my instagram you
11:56
Speaker 1: can see the picture of the new one. It's actually
11:58
Speaker 1: you can walk over to fifty third and seventh you
12:00
Speaker 1: can see it being built. The sign has gone up.
12:03
Speaker 1: It actually is for real. It's opening. The Carnegie Deli.
12:07
Speaker 1: Strangely enough, it'll be it not in its original location.
12:11
Speaker 1: You remember where the Carnegie was. That's now I think
12:13
Speaker 1: a luggage store somebody else is in there. So they've
12:16
Speaker 1: taken the old site of the stage delicatess in their
12:20
Speaker 1: longtime rival, and they will open there. I mean, listen, it's, it's,
12:24
Speaker 1: it's and it's. The two people owned the Carnegie Deli
12:28
Speaker 1: was Leo Steiner and Milton Parker. And Leo was the
12:32
Speaker 1: colorful guy you always saw on television and they used
12:35
Speaker 1: him in a lot of TV commercials. Milton Parker was
12:37
Speaker 1: like a it was a nice guy, but he was
12:40
Speaker 1: like the it looked like a deli owner, like a
12:42
Speaker 1: real deli owner. And his family Marion Parker, the daughter
12:47
Speaker 1: who's done an excellent job with the whole place. She's
12:50
Speaker 1: the one reopening this. So it's the original family. Hopefully
12:54
Speaker 1: everything is as good as it was. Hopefully it looks
12:56
Speaker 1: the same. It had that look, you know, those celebrity
13:00
Speaker 1: pictures all over the walls. I mean, the whole place,
13:05
Speaker 1: every inch of every wall was a celebrity picture autographed
13:08
Speaker 1: to the Carnegie. But it was all the old old celebrities.
13:11
Speaker 1: I remember going there once with Don Rickles and he's
13:13
Speaker 1: walking along pointing to every picture. He's going dead dead
13:17
Speaker 1: dead dead dead. Oh, this guy's alive then dead to
13:22
Speaker 1: everybody in the pictures is dead. So but it was.
13:26
Speaker 1: It was a wonderful place, and I believe it or not.
13:28
Speaker 1: If you went back to late eighties early nineties, it
13:31
Speaker 1: was the show business hangout late at night, started about
13:35
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock, the big front table. There was everybody.
13:39
Speaker 7: It was.
13:41
Speaker 1: Big famous people appearing in town or a lot of
13:44
Speaker 1: CELEBRITI would show up me, we'd all I would sit
13:46
Speaker 1: with them all at this big front table and we'd
13:48
Speaker 1: sit there talking until four in the morning. It was.
13:51
Speaker 1: In fact, that's why Woody Allen recreated that in his
13:55
Speaker 1: movie Broadway Danny Rose, where he did the front table
13:58
Speaker 1: Carnegie Deli just like it, like it really happened. But
14:01
Speaker 1: it'll reopen. You can't do that stuff anymore because there's
14:04
Speaker 1: no more celebrities that everybody. Nobody knows who anybody is anymore.
14:08
Speaker 1: You could have a big star to twenty somethings, but
14:11
Speaker 1: over thirty five they don't know who he is. Then
14:14
Speaker 1: there's big stars for people over fifty. If you're twenty five.
14:16
Speaker 1: I have no idea who the guy is. So it's
14:18
Speaker 1: not like the good old days. But the Carnegie is
14:21
Speaker 1: coming back. I no word on when it will open.
14:24
Speaker 1: One report says late September. But if you walk by there,
14:28
Speaker 1: it's coming along. The whole front is up. Take take
14:30
Speaker 1: a look at my instagram. You can see a picture
14:32
Speaker 1: of what it looks like. Mark Simone NYC at Instagram.

Speaker 1: I don't know.
15:16
Speaker 7: Anyway.
15:17
Speaker 2: It's over at the Iron Orse Tavern yesterday, well.
15:22
Speaker 6: Day, and uh you know, I excused myself to go
15:27
Speaker 6: to the little boys room, uh huh. And when I
15:30
Speaker 6: came back, he said, uh, did you wash your hands?
15:35
Speaker 1: Yeah?
15:37
Speaker 7: You ever heard this?
15:38
Speaker 1: This is a hell of a story.
15:41
Speaker 4: Did you wash your hands? And I said, no, I
15:44
Speaker 4: just touched the cleanest part of my body. Why would
15:46
Speaker 4: I wash my hands?
15:48
Speaker 8: But it turns out.
15:50
Speaker 1: It's never been used. I'm sure it's very clean.
15:53
Speaker 7: That's true.
15:54
Speaker 4: And then the other thing is that I was talking
15:57
Speaker 4: as urologists and he said, and this is the the
16:00
Speaker 4: big moment, drum roll, you should wash your hands when
16:04
Speaker 4: you go in to the little boys room before because
16:09
Speaker 4: you're touching. So this is revolutionary.
16:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't worry about it. Nobody else is going to
16:14
Speaker 1: touch it. What's the difference if it's dirty or anyway,
16:17
Speaker 1: build this the hell of a story. Thanks for slowing
16:20
Speaker 1: us up here. Anyway, let's go to Dennis in Long Island. Dennis,
16:24
Speaker 1: how you doing.
16:25
Speaker 2: I'm doing well.
16:26
Speaker 5: Good morning.
16:27
Speaker 2: Mark.
16:27
Speaker 7: You had mentioned that you had walked through the.
16:29
Speaker 2: Old Carnegie Deli with Don Rickles.
16:31
Speaker 7: I mean, the question is what was Don Rickles.
16:34
Speaker 1: Like Don Rickles? And in real life, if anybody was
16:37
Speaker 1: around he was Don Rickles, he'd insult him and make
16:40
Speaker 1: fun of him. But if nobody was around, he was
16:43
Speaker 1: the quietest, nicest, gentle guy, very very cool, and he
16:48
Speaker 1: and his wife were like the most non show business
16:50
Speaker 1: people ever. They were like two tourists in New York
16:53
Speaker 1: going to Broadway shows. And that's one reason he and
16:56
Speaker 1: Bob Newhart were so close. They were totally non show
16:59
Speaker 1: business in real life. They were just like normal family
17:02
Speaker 1: men and that's why they got along so well. But
17:05
Speaker 1: as soon as you put them on the radio, boom.
17:08
Speaker 1: It was really kind of an act. I remember once
17:11
Speaker 1: walking into it was Frank Sinatra's apartment and Rickles said
17:16
Speaker 1: to Tonio, the guy who's let everybody in? And he said, sure,
17:22
Speaker 1: it's okay, You sure it's okay? Are you sure? It
17:25
Speaker 1: was very nervous and he said, no, no, go in.
17:27
Speaker 1: Are you sure as sure it's okay? Yeah, go on in.
17:30
Speaker 1: As soon as he walked in and saw Sinatra, it
17:32
Speaker 1: was Rickles and he went, Frank, snap out of it,
17:34
Speaker 1: and it just started attacking him. He could just turn
17:36
Speaker 1: it on and off. It was amazing to watch. Let's
17:39
Speaker 1: go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.
17:44
Speaker 5: Did you have a standing order at the Carnegie anything
17:47
Speaker 5: that you preferred to order on a regular basis?
17:51
Speaker 1: You know, I can't remember because on the menu the
17:53
Speaker 1: big sandwiches all had numbers. It was like a number twelve,
17:55
Speaker 1: and number three and number six. It was were best
18:00
Speaker 1: known for the Pastromi the conby, but I didn't eat
18:02
Speaker 1: that too. Actually it wasn't the healthiest thing. But oh,
18:04
Speaker 1: I actually remember it was turkey.
18:08
Speaker 2: It was like.
18:08
Speaker 1: A turkey with Coleslaw Russian dressing, that.
18:12
Speaker 8: Kind of stuff.
18:13
Speaker 1: Not bad.
18:14
Speaker 5: That's that's only like two thousand calories opposed to asami,
18:18
Speaker 5: which is like seven thousands.
18:19
Speaker 1: Well, the reason they gave you those the sandwiches were
18:21
Speaker 1: like a foot and a half high. It was ridiculous.
18:23
Speaker 1: You couldn't eat it, you couldn't get in your mouth.
18:25
Speaker 1: It made no sense. But the reason they did that,
18:28
Speaker 1: Leo the owner explained it to me once he goes,
18:31
Speaker 1: we're basically giving you two sandwiches, and that way you
18:34
Speaker 1: can charge you for two sandwiches even though you're really
18:36
Speaker 1: a long one. So it was a great idea. And
18:39
Speaker 1: it was if you were a big VIP customer, if
18:43
Speaker 1: they really knew you, loved you, because everybody had paper napkins.
18:47
Speaker 1: The waiter would give you or the host would give
18:50
Speaker 1: you a linen napkin, a white linen boy.
18:54
Speaker 6: Rived.
18:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I remember at the funeral of Leo Steiner,
18:57
Speaker 1: the owner Don Hewitt was and Don Hewett got up
19:01
Speaker 1: and he said, I've won fifteen Emmys, I've worked with
19:04
Speaker 1: ten presidents, I've produced sixty minutes ages. But and then
19:08
Speaker 1: he pulled out the one white linen n aft and he goes,
19:10
Speaker 1: this is the most important thing to me. This is
19:13
Speaker 1: when I knew I arrived, when I got a white
19:15
Speaker 1: linen nack in there.
19:17
Speaker 5: And I wanted to I just on another subject. I
19:20
Speaker 5: just wanted to point out about these socialists, you know,
19:23
Speaker 5: like to sing in Florida, that woman beating Vinman. Yeah,
19:26
Speaker 5: you know, it's a very clever tactic. And you pointed
19:28
Speaker 5: this out with Mandanni and Croomo. There's no difference between
19:31
Speaker 5: the two. If Mondannie gets in, yeah, okay, that's that's
19:35
Speaker 5: that's cherry on the you know, that's the cherry on
19:37
Speaker 5: the Sunday. But if Cromo got in, they wouldn't cry
19:40
Speaker 5: the left wing because he's just as bad, if not worse,
19:43
Speaker 5: because it's more covert, and it's just saying that's what
19:46
Speaker 5: they're doing. They're putting up one nut against a lesser nut.
19:49
Speaker 5: The lesser nut wins, loses, and the Republicans think, oh, okay,
19:54
Speaker 5: you know we got them right on the ropes. Now
19:55
Speaker 5: we got the whel the lunatic, and they have to
19:57
Speaker 5: be careful because the left takes one victory as it
20:02
Speaker 5: doesn't you know, they don't have to win everything. They
20:03
Speaker 5: can win one little thing at a time and be
20:05
Speaker 5: very happy.
20:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to remember when they worry about mom
20:08
Speaker 1: Donnie running things, you had a mom Donni. For years.
20:11
Speaker 1: Cuomo was Mom Donnie. Cuomo was the guy that gave
20:15
Speaker 1: us no bail, no jail. Cuomo was the first guy
20:18
Speaker 1: that pushed the Pieda terror attacks. Everything Mom Donnie does,
20:21
Speaker 1: Cuomo did. He was. He closed Indian Point, he was
20:24
Speaker 1: the he closed prisons, He let prisoners out. He changed
20:28
Speaker 1: the parole board so they let everybody out, including forty
20:31
Speaker 1: three cop killers. Cuomo was the most left wing, woke governor.
20:36
Speaker 1: We survived him, well, we got it. We got a
20:38
Speaker 1: crime wave out of him with the no bail, no jail.
20:40
Speaker 1: But uh, we'll see.
20:42
Speaker 5: No his his you know those things will you know,
20:45
Speaker 5: they have repercussions for you know, for years. I mean
20:47
Speaker 5: they don't end, you know, the day somebody you know,
20:50
Speaker 5: you know, the Republican gets in God forbid in New York. Yeah,
20:53
Speaker 5: Blake and you know, God bless him, you know, but
20:56
Speaker 5: you know he's not going to be able to end
20:57
Speaker 5: these things on day one. It's going to be very difficult.
21:00
Speaker 5: You know.
21:00
Speaker 1: Blakeman's pretty good at turning hi.
21:03
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, He's got the temerity to do it,
21:05
Speaker 5: no doubt about it, just like Trump. But it's you know,
21:07
Speaker 5: we see with Trump, he's the president and he's it's
21:10
Speaker 5: it's the tooth and nail every time he Blakeman.
21:13
Speaker 1: Did make a big difference in NWS County. Stopped the
21:15
Speaker 1: tax increases, stopped all that stuff. Yes, all right, Mike, Well,
21:18
Speaker 1: hey you're in Are you in northern Florida?
21:21
Speaker 5: No, I'm in just above Palm Beach. I'm about forty
21:24
Speaker 5: minutes north of Palm Beach.
21:26
Speaker 1: And when you got up that far away from Miami,
21:29
Speaker 1: there's still a good Cuban population around, isn't there.
21:31
Speaker 4: Uh?
21:32
Speaker 5: You know what, the population here has become very Caribbean
21:36
Speaker 5: and uh in the last few years.
21:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, I don't know.
21:40
Speaker 5: Where they stand as far as voting goes.
21:42
Speaker 1: Well, you can count on the Cuban population not to
21:44
Speaker 1: vote for a socialist. They know what socialism is.
21:46
Speaker 5: So I hope so I'm putting, you know, putting out
21:49
Speaker 5: of eggs in that basket, and I hope I think
21:51
Speaker 5: you're right.
21:52
Speaker 1: All right, great call is always thanks for colling. Let's
21:55
Speaker 1: go to Charlie and Queen's Charlie.
21:57
Speaker 7: How you doing, Hi, Mark, thank you very much for
22:01
Speaker 7: taking the call. I'm a retired US Navy Chief Petty
22:05
Speaker 7: Officers that served that served on the in my twenty
22:11
Speaker 7: four year career from Vietnam all the way up until
22:14
Speaker 7: the Desert Storm. I have been on several aircraft carriers.
22:18
Speaker 7: And let me tell your life on an aircraft carrier
22:21
Speaker 7: compared to the other ships that escort us in.
22:25
Speaker 5: The in the battle group.
22:26
Speaker 7: We're talking about a destroyer, a cruiser, or supply ship.
22:30
Speaker 7: It's like being in the Hilton Hotel. There is nothing
22:33
Speaker 7: wrong with that ship. It's spotlessly, it's clean, the decks
22:38
Speaker 7: are swept, swapped, polished, the brass is polished. As far
22:44
Speaker 7: as food replenishment, every every forty five days minimum, you
22:50
Speaker 7: have a supply ship that pulls alongside of us as
22:54
Speaker 7: we're underway, reloading fuel, soda, fruits, meats, letters. So that
23:03
Speaker 7: that story of the Abraham Lincoln being in such a
23:07
Speaker 7: vague condition, you can't have that because you have a
23:10
Speaker 7: daily inspection, you have a weekly quarters inspection. Your bunks
23:16
Speaker 7: have to be made. So it's another another fake news
23:23
Speaker 7: in order to bring down the quality of the United
23:26
Speaker 7: States military by these radicals.
23:29
Speaker 1: To attack Trump. This poor ship is out there two
23:32
Speaker 1: hundred days. If you check, the average time of ship
23:35
Speaker 1: is out there two hundred and twenty days.
23:36
Speaker 7: So exactly. Let me tell Let me tell you I
23:40
Speaker 7: was off the coast during the Vietnam days. We were
23:43
Speaker 7: off the coast eight We were off the coast eight months.
23:47
Speaker 7: And then the next time when we were on Kennedy
23:50
Speaker 7: off the coast of Lebanon, when you had that crazy
23:53
Speaker 7: Kadafi who sent the two jets out to get us,
23:59
Speaker 7: we were there. We would this at that time almost
24:02
Speaker 7: six months shire six months.
24:05
Speaker 1: All right, Well that's very good, very good information, Charlie,
24:08
Speaker 1: great call. You know, it's perfectly normal for an aircraft
24:10
Speaker 1: carrier to be out there that long. Hey, when we
24:13
Speaker 1: come back, the brilliant business writer, economist, nobody better on
24:18
Speaker 1: they try to convince it the economy is a mess,
24:20
Speaker 1: it's doing really well, and he'll give us the facts.
24:23
Speaker 1: Coming up next on seven to ten, WR.

Speaker 2: Down nine till noon weekdays.

Speaker 1: up for it. John Carney, how you.
25:01
Speaker 2: Doing very good? Thanks for having me on. And somebody
25:08
Speaker 2: asked me recently who likes the Wiper Business Digest even
25:12
Speaker 2: more than Treasury Secretary of Scott Bessett, And I said,
25:15
Speaker 2: Mark Simone, Yeah, he helps it.
25:17
Speaker 1: Hey, every time I look on and watch anything news, television,
25:22
Speaker 1: networks everywhere, the economies and shambles. The economy is a mess, affordability,
25:27
Speaker 1: the economy is a disaster. What's the real story, what's
25:30
Speaker 1: the truth.
25:32
Speaker 8: So the truth is the economy is actually.
25:34
Speaker 2: Doing very well. We have very low unemployment, manufacturing sector
25:41
Speaker 2: in particular, which was really deteriorating. Biden, I mean, it
25:45
Speaker 2: has been on a long term decline before that.
25:48
Speaker 8: A little under Trump one point.
25:50
Speaker 2: Zero Biden really hurts manufacturing. You could see manufacturing output
25:54
Speaker 2: kept falling. Manufacturing is coming back where the output is rise,
26:00
Speaker 2: productivity is rising, and jobs are rising again. This is
26:04
Speaker 2: something that they said would be impossible, can't be rescued,
26:07
Speaker 2: Trump can't do it. But we're doing it and it's happening,
26:11
Speaker 2: and it's looking very good for the US economy.
26:14
Speaker 1: And what is the manufacturing boom? Is it tech stuff?
26:17
Speaker 1: Is it AI data center? Is it actual factories?
26:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a little bit of everything. It really
26:25
Speaker 2: did start out around AI. But what we're seeing in
26:29
Speaker 2: the latest data is that it is expanding now. Some
26:33
Speaker 2: of it is sort of like I would call AI adjacent.
26:36
Speaker 2: So remember when we're building data centers, that actually requires
26:41
Speaker 2: a lot of equipment. So you need new forklifts.
26:44
Speaker 8: To build data centers, you need new bulldozers, you need
26:47
Speaker 8: you know.
26:47
Speaker 2: So you need a lot of equipment. But we're actually
26:49
Speaker 2: seeing it go beyond that where we're seeing a lot
26:53
Speaker 2: of new construction but also just new equipment. The businesses investing.
27:03
Speaker 2: The business investment in machinery is up tremendously, And a
27:08
Speaker 2: huge part of that is you're no longer penalized by
27:11
Speaker 2: the tax code for investing in the tech, for making
27:16
Speaker 2: capital investments in your business the way you used to
27:19
Speaker 2: be because of Donald Trump's one big, beautiful bill that
27:22
Speaker 2: actually took away the penalties, So now you can expense
27:25
Speaker 2: these capital expenditures right away, and that's really helped boost
27:30
Speaker 2: investment in businesses.
27:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's also a national security factor here. It's dangerous
27:36
Speaker 1: for us to not be making our own medicine, our
27:38
Speaker 1: own weapons, that sort of stuff, to depend on another.
27:42
Speaker 2: Cons we're bringing And that's one of the things that's
27:44
Speaker 2: actually happening is drug companies, in part because frankly, Donald
27:49
Speaker 2: Trump said, look, we're going to slap you with giant
27:51
Speaker 2: tariffs if you continue to make the pharmaceuticals abroad. Bring
27:55
Speaker 2: that back home. They're actually building facilities here in the
28:00
Speaker 2: US now so that we will not be dependent. I think, look,
28:05
Speaker 2: some of us have known for a long time that
28:06
Speaker 2: this was dangerous, but I think the pandemic woke a
28:09
Speaker 2: lot of people up to the idea of, like, we
28:11
Speaker 2: do not want to be dependent. And frankly, even what's
28:15
Speaker 2: going on in the straight of her moves is probably
28:17
Speaker 2: woken pieople up to the idea.
28:19
Speaker 5: You don't want to.
28:20
Speaker 2: Think if there's a civil war in India or something
28:25
Speaker 2: happens in China that suddenly we can't buy aspirin. Yeah,
28:29
Speaker 2: we need that stuff that we need to be able
28:31
Speaker 2: to make it and acquire it at home. One of
28:34
Speaker 2: the regions of straighter her moves has been so much
28:36
Speaker 2: less of a drain on the US economy than people,
28:39
Speaker 2: but is because we're not dependent on it for oil anymore.
28:43
Speaker 2: We are now in an oil producing giant, and so
28:47
Speaker 2: what happens around the world affects us much less than
28:49
Speaker 2: it used to.
28:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what about prices though, affordability inflation prices people
28:56
Speaker 1: paying more. Is that really as bad as the media
28:59
Speaker 1: makes it out.
29:01
Speaker 2: No, inflation has come way down. Look, the price of
29:05
Speaker 2: oil is too high. That is driven the price of
29:09
Speaker 2: gas too high. That and I see this morning it's
29:14
Speaker 2: the barrel of oil is now up above ninety dollars
29:18
Speaker 2: a barrel. That's not great. So I understand people can
29:21
Speaker 2: feel squeezed for that. But one of the great things
29:23
Speaker 2: that's happened is the fear that this would leak out
29:27
Speaker 2: and become a more widespread inflation hasn't happened. In fact,
29:31
Speaker 2: it's remain confined to oil, gasoline, maybe also airfares, but
29:38
Speaker 2: things very directly tied to the price of oil and
29:41
Speaker 2: not the broader economy impact. The inflation outside of oil
29:50
Speaker 2: has actually been quite well behaved and seems to be
29:54
Speaker 2: on the trend back to the FEDS target of two percent.
29:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brent crude, that went over ninety dollars, but WTI
30:04
Speaker 1: the American oil eighty five dollars? Is there any reason
30:07
Speaker 1: why the American companies had to raise the price to
30:09
Speaker 1: match the world price we produce it.
30:13
Speaker 2: Here's what's sort of odd about that. The WTI, although
30:21
Speaker 2: that is the sort of American benchmark, actually has a
30:24
Speaker 2: lot less of an effect on American gasoline prices actually
30:31
Speaker 2: reflect the global price, the Brent crude price much more
30:34
Speaker 2: closely and always have. Really one reason for that is, frankly,
30:40
Speaker 2: we sell a lot of oil around the world, and
30:44
Speaker 2: so when our you know, when gas stations, when refineries
30:48
Speaker 2: are buying oil, they're not typically importing unless they're in California,
30:52
Speaker 2: which you know is cut off bizarrely from American oil.
30:58
Speaker 2: They're not typically importing it. But the international market really
31:02
Speaker 2: does actually affect it. We could stop.
31:05
Speaker 8: That, but I don't think it would be a good idea.
31:07
Speaker 2: We could restrict exports of oil so that we used
31:11
Speaker 2: all of our own oil. I don't think it's a
31:13
Speaker 2: great that would be a very good idea, in part
31:17
Speaker 2: because we actually want the world to look to us
31:20
Speaker 2: as the place where it buys the things it needs.
31:24
Speaker 2: Want the rest of the world to say, yes, you know,
31:26
Speaker 2: when there is a crisis, we can turn to America
31:28
Speaker 2: for oil. That's good for our national security, our influence
31:31
Speaker 2: in the world, and it's good for our economy.
31:34
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, John Conney, explain that California thing. Why they
31:38
Speaker 1: are dependent on foreign oil in California. This is the
31:41
Speaker 1: stupidest story about California. The way they've conduction is incredible.
31:46
Speaker 2: But oil that goes all the way down to Texas,
31:50
Speaker 2: so right next to California, you know, from the mid Last,
31:53
Speaker 2: from Oklahoma, from South Dakota, from North Dakota can't make
31:58
Speaker 2: it across the mountains, can't make it to California because
32:03
Speaker 2: the Left didn't, the environmentalists didn't let us build pipelines
32:08
Speaker 2: to bring American oil all the way. So we were
32:10
Speaker 2: able to build a railroad one hundred and fifty years ago,
32:13
Speaker 2: you know, to cross the continent, but we cannot have
32:16
Speaker 2: a pipeline that crosses the continent. So California, well, California
32:20
Speaker 2: makes a little bit of its own oil too, but barely.
32:22
Speaker 2: You know, they don't let they haven't let that expand
32:26
Speaker 2: at all, and so they are actually dependent on oil
32:31
Speaker 2: coming from the Persian.
32:34
Speaker 8: Gulf all the way across the ocean, when you.
32:38
Speaker 2: Know, right next door practically there's plenty of oil supplied.
32:43
Speaker 2: Oil tankers can't really get through the Gulf of through
32:46
Speaker 2: the Panama Canal, so when oil needs to come from
32:51
Speaker 2: the what we used to call it the Gulf of Mexico,
32:53
Speaker 2: from the Gulf of America to California, it actually has
32:57
Speaker 2: to go all the way around South America or Africa
33:02
Speaker 2: to get to California. So, in other words, it we
33:06
Speaker 2: did this to ourselves, or rather, the Californians did it
33:08
Speaker 2: to themselves, and they and the climate change of armists
33:14
Speaker 2: start to blame. It's ridiculous because it's not like they
33:18
Speaker 2: use less gasoline because of this. It's just much more expensive.
33:22
Speaker 2: If you look at where the most expensive gasoline in
33:25
Speaker 2: the United States is it's always California. And Hawaii actually
33:30
Speaker 2: has expensive castles, but they're an island. We can understand that.
33:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, so these idiots banned pipelines in California. They depend
33:38
Speaker 1: on foreign oil and they're paying what seven dollars a
33:40
Speaker 1: gallon six fifty a.
33:41
Speaker 2: Gallon for Yeah, it is, it's incredible, and they it
33:49
Speaker 2: did not have to happen, Like.
33:50
Speaker 8: I said, it did not.
33:53
Speaker 2: Don't know how to get to California, right, we built
33:57
Speaker 2: in the eighteen hundreds, we built a train continental railroad.
34:01
Speaker 2: Why don't we have transcontinental pipelines. It's crazy, but it's
34:06
Speaker 2: because of climate change policy.
34:09
Speaker 1: These climate change people have cost more Americans more money.
34:13
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an amazing story. Well, John carneie fascinating
