  Speaker 1: Rockefeller Center tree is on its way. I was in
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the Central Park. The skating rink is open. I guess.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I guess summer is finally over. Hey, by the way,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: if you want to look at leaves, changing colors, the leaves, apparently,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: this is the peak weekend around here, around the New
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: York City area, in Long Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, this
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: is the peak weekend, So do it this weekend. Nancy
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Pelosi has announced she will not seek reelection. That's great news.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: President Trump was asked about it.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I think she's an avil woman. I'm glad she's retiring.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I think she did the country a great service by return.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I think she was a tremendous liability for the country.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Now you're saying, well, why would he say that, he
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: shouldn't talk like that? Why does he talk like well,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: because a couple of days before, did you hear what
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: she said about him. She's on a being interviewed by
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: somebody on some show. To listen to the hyperbole. Listen
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to how crazy they get. He's just a vile creature,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the worst thing on the face of the earth. But
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: anyway you think he's the worst thing on the face
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of the earth. I do, Yeah, I do. They just
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: get so crazy about him, They get so crazy, we're
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: gonna there's a couple of prominent psychologists who actually said,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: what sets them off so much? Why is he? You know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: they hated Bush and they they hated Reagan and they
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: went after him, but this is beyond anything. Some psychologists
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: think it's because you know, they're trying to be so
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: woke and you know DEI and he's just like this
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: old fashion macho guy, old fashion nineteen fifties sort of
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: macho kind of it's that that sets him off. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: then there's some psychologists that say it's like a daddy issues,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Like they've got massive daddy issues with this guy, but
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: he just sets them up. I mean, listen to her,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: this is nice. If I played the clip and I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: didn't say who she's talking about, who would you guess
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you probably think she's talking about Iotola Komani or or
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Putin or bin Laden. But if you didn't know who
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: she was talking about, creature, the worst thing on the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: face of the earth. But you think he's the worst
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: thing on the face of the earth. I do. Yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it's pretty funny. Now. The only sad thing about her
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: leaving It was great to watch her trade stocks. She
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: was the greatest insider trading in the history of the world.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Nobody you know, you're allowed to do inside trading in Congress.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So a lot of people made a couple of million.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: She made, like, got close to a billion dollars. Now,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: listen to this. Over the last ten years, because of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: her insider trading. Over the last ten years, Nancy Pelosi
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: outperformed Warren Buffett Buffett's stock portfolio. Buffett grew his portfolio
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: by one hundred and eighty five percent. Pelosi grew hers
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: by seven hundred and twenty percent, almost four times the gains.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You got to give her credit for at least for that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: The greatest insider trading in the history of the world.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: In her case, it was legal. So Alis Stefonica is
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: going to run for governor, She's why would she announce
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it Now it's a year, one year away. Do you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: really need a whole year? Well, okay, it helps, you know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Some say that was the big, big problem with Cuomo.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: He was just so dead all through the primaries. He
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: didn't wake up until the last two weeks. One reason
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you start early. It gives you an excuse to go
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: around and campaign, not in the big places, in the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: little places. That's why the candidates go to Iowa year ahead.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You go to these little, tiny place where nobody's really
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: gonna watch nobody. You're not gonna get a lot of coverage,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: which is good, but you do speeches, you meet with voters,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and that way you hone the message. You're really you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: six months of that and then you're ready for the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: real campaign. You have developed a message, a stump speech,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You've really got yourself up to speed. So that's why
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you do it a year ahead of time. Now, Hokeel
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is going to have a huge problem. Normally, these Democrats
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: will campaign on affordability and whatever crisis. Well, now you've
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: got a Republican who can just look at you and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: say you're the one in charge for the last eight years.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It's your fault. You created it. So I don't know
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: what she's going to do about that. The other big
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: problem she has is a Mom Donnie problem. You can
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: assume a year from now, Mom Donnie will have been
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible mayor and she endorsed them. She is
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: going to have to deal with that picture of her
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and him they pose together holding their hands up together, clasped.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So she's going to have to answer for that, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that's not going to be easy. It's going to be
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a big problem for her. Hey, MSNBC a week from
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: today will no longer exist. Friday, the fifteenth final day
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of MSNBC. It's gone. They'll rebrand it as they'll call
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it MS now. They gave people a tour of their
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: new studio. They've been kicked out of Rockefeller Center. Their
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: new studios kind of small. It's a little cramped. They'll
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: be operating out of there. But you know, there's a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: lot of branding experts that say they may not realize
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: how dangerous this is. You know, it's gonna be the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: same show, same anchors, won't look as good because it'll
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: be smaller studios. They will no longer have NBC News
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: resources or correspondence or all of that. But anytime you rebrand,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you know, you could just change you know, well, if
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you said yeah, but they're just changing the name, or
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they're just changing the logo, it can affect things. Look
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: what happened to Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel just changed the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: logo and they redecorated the stores. Rebranding is very, very,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: very dangerous, So it'll be interesting to see what happens now.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: MSNBC apparently is worried about the dangers of rebranding, so
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: they've put together a few million dollars to do an
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: ad campaign to promote the new brand. You'll start seeing
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that everywhere. And this is a company that was spun
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: off from NBC in comcasts, so a few millions a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: lot of money to them, but it's going to be
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: quite a struggle. Heyy, speaking of television, sometime today, I'm
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: going to go over to the Paley Center. You know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that's like the Museum of Television and Radio. They call
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it the Paley Center. But this is the final weekend
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it's there, and I want to the museum is going
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to be there forever. But what's there for the final
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: weekend is Johnny Carson's actual desk and parts of the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Tonight Show set. I want to go over there and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: see it before it goes away. He'll be there through
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Sunday at the Paley Center. You can actually see the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: actual Johnny Carson desk, which is that's pretty cool. And
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: then Paley Fest actually begins. Now they've got a whole
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: bunch of big events. Check the schedule. You can get tickets.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Where there's Trisha Yearwood, is there Ted Danson, who's got
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: this hot news series on Netflix. Just go to a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: pale museum dot org. It's all for a very good cause. Hey,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: there is some good news this week. Looks like John
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Brennan that the dirty, dirty CIA director will be indicted.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Apparently they are preparing indictments against him. They will go
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: after him. Hopefully they'll get him. But even if they don't,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: just put him on trial. This is the dirtiest CIA
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: director we've ever had. Also communist, by the way, I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: mean literally he admits to having voted in presidential elections
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: for the communist candidate. Now that's the kind of guy.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: This is CIA director. You know, Colly was at one
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: time a communist. He's talked about earlier in his life
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: being an actual communist. He tries to pose as some
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: sort of Republican. He's always always been very left wing Democrat,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: but he admits earlier in his life he was an
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: actual communist. Do you remember the McCarthy stuff. McCarthy hearings,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: If you even happen to walk into a Communist party
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: meeting or a Communist club meeting, you were banned from
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: society for the rest of your life. These guys were
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: actual communists, declared communists. Call me Brennan. Also, remember it
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: was Brennan who signed that ridiculous letter from the fifty
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: one former intelligence officials who said the Hunter laptop was
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Russian disinformation. Absolutely insane stuff. You hear all this talk.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Everybody's moving, everybody's leaving. Everybody's fleeing New York because of
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie. I don't know, well, there'll be some people
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: will leave, but everybody's going to leave that fast. We
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: went through this with the Blasio same thing. Everybody's leaving.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Some people did, but not a lot. But they're panicking
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: in Florida and all the homes that are available in Florida.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You know, they figure everybody will move to Florida. Now
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: all these rich people moved to Florida. So the homes
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: that would be that were available are all getting snapped
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: up like crazy, not by New Yorkers, but by local
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Floridians who apparently in the last weeks since Momdani, have
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: flooded the market because they're afraid all these New Yorkers
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: will come down and buy everything, and when they start
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: buying like crazy, it'll drive the pricest way up in Florida.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: So local Floridians started buying stuff. There were homes that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: were on the sitting on the market for months with
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: no activity that all of a sudden had dozens of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: offers Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, And these homes are getting snapped
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: up at the fastest rate they've ever seen. Condos that
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: sat through the whole summer with no bidders now have
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: multiple offers. It's going on all over the East co Miami, Boka,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach. In fact, they're starting to see it in
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Orlando and other places. Floridians snapping up these homes because
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: they know it's going to drive prices up like crazy. Hey,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you know podcasting is a big thing now. There's two
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: kinds of podcasts. There's the real ones, the professional ones,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: iHeart is the biggest podcast in the world. Sirious is
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a big podcaster Spotify obviously, but nobody's bigger than iHeart,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and we've got all the top top names in the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: world podcasting. Now, the other part of podcasting is every
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: amateur now has a podcast because anybody can do it. Now,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: if you talk about a professional podcast, we have millions
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and millions and millions of listeners. If you're Joe Rogan,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you got forty million listeners or whatever he's got to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the one with President Trump, the campaign podcast, I think
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that hit one hundred million listens at one point. Even
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: my podcast I still hit ten million this year, ten
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: million listens. We did nine point four million last year.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: But it's a big deal these podcasts. Now, Netflix wants
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to get into the podcasting business. They want to seriously
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: get into the podcasting business. Netflix of course the number
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: one best known streaming place, but they think that's not enough,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: that you better expand all of that, so they want
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to get into podcasting. They're making a deal. Well, they're
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: in talks with SERIOUSXM YouTube, by the way, it's a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: huge podcaster. So Netflix is talking to SERIOUSXM to combine
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and have all of their podcasts now they want to
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: do it audio and video. SERIUSXM has some big podcast
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Caller Daddy, Morbid, Dateline NBC, but they're trying to strike
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: some kind of deal. Earlier they made a deal with Spotify.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: They got the Bill Simmons podcast, Zach Lowe Conspiracy Theories,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and some others. Now the biggest podcast cast of all
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: is iHeart. There's nobody bigger than iHeart. Hollywood reporter says
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Netflix has also approached iHeartMedia about a similar arrangement. iHeart
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: has some of the most important podcasts in the world,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: like the Breakfast Club done over there, right across the hall,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and stuff you should know. Now, there's some trade magazines
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: this morning writing that it sounds impressive, but that they
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: think Netflix is way too late, way too late to
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: get into this, that they've missed the boat on it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: They'll never catch up. You know, when they started with
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the streaming stuff, they were ahead of everybody else. That's
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: how they got so big. And you remember at the time,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you kids today, you won't know what I'm talking about.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Before Netflix, if you wanted to see a movie at home,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you had to go to a store like a Blockbuster
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Video store and you had to rent the movie for
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a day or two. At one time it was on
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a cassette, a VHS cassett, and you'd have to rewind it.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: If you didn't rewind it before you brought it back,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you get fined. And then later it was a DVD.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: This sounds crazy. Can you imagine a twenty three ye
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: old listening? What what do you mean you went to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: a STU. Yeah, you had to go to a Blockbuster,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: rent the thing, bring it back. You had to go
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: back the next day. And state of the art was
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: they put it like a slot in the door, so
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you didn't have to go during the day. You could
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: go late at night and drop it through the slot.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: But then Netflix started. Netflix actually started, I think it
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: was DVDs. It with DVDs, and then they started streaming.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Eventually they got rid of the DVDs and streaming took over.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: So but again podcasting, they're way too late to jump
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: on board. Hey, King Charles, boys, he have to get this.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew. He stripped him of his title, the Duke
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: of this, the Duke of that, the Earl of the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Duke of Earl, whatever the hell he was. King Charles
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: keeps taking things away, kicked him out of the wherever
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: he was living such palace, taken everything. Final humiliation, he
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: stripped his brother of his other titles. He was left
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: with Royal Highness and prince. So he's no longer any
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of that stuff. Now. This is all because of the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein Gallaine Maxwell stuff. This woman wrote a book
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: with all the allegations, but it's never been proven. Nothing's
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: been proven. Just because somebody claimed it hasn't been proven.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: But on the other hand, he's never denied it. He's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: never actually denied the allegations. So the only thing he
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: has left he's a Vice Admiral of the Royal Navy,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: that title given him in twenty fifteen. He did spend
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: twenty two years in the Royal Navy and he actually
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: he saw active service. Was a helicopter pilot during the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Falklands War. Ooh, a helicopter pilot. This is like Mikey Cheryl.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Two of them could start a little helicopter company there.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: But this Prince Andrew, I don't know what he's going
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: to do. If I were him, I would just leave.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Just hey, come over here, come over here. They'll treat
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you like a big tabloid star, but he would face
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: charges if he came out of here, so that's why
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: he has to stay in England. Hey, we'll take some
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two one zero
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten
