• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York Kate still Mark
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Simone Show on seven to ten.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Woor Hey, lots to get through today. We'll get to
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: the President's amazing press briefing yesterday. The rescue operation he
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: went into detail was so powerful and moving describing that
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: rescue operation. For those of you to watch the NBC
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Nightly News, I'm just telling you about this because if
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: you watch the NBC Nightly News, you wouldn't have known
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: about it. They didn't they didn't feel it was worth covering.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that. We'll get to Stephen Colbert, he's gone,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: he's fired, he's out. We'll get to what the replacement
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: will be. We'll get to Savannah Guthrie and there's more
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: on the Mother and we'll get to Mom Donnie. We'll
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: get to the Cross Bronx, We'll get to Artemis and
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: all of that just ahead. President tonight at eight o'clock
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: says that's the deadline. If Iran doesn't agree to every
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: he will start taking out all the bridges and power plants.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Now we're getting a report, not absolutely confirmed, but we
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: are getting a report that Iran at the moment has
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: cut off all talks. We talked through third parties. But
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens now. Also, earlier this morning, the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: US did attack carg Island, crucial piece of real estate there.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Carg Island is the hub of all of the Iranian
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: oil industry. It's their main oil depot. For them to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: be in the oil business, sell oil, it has to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: take place on carg Island. Now, we hit it this
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: morning with about fifty strikes, but we didn't touch the oil,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: that sort of infrastructure. All we hit were the military
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: things on carg Island. We took out the air defense,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: we took out all the defense systems, we took out
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the bunkers, we took out all the military operations there.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: This could just be symbolic, or it could be preparation
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: for taking over carg Island, getting rid of all defense
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and military stuff on the island. So eight o'clock tonight,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. The President threatening to take out
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: all the bridges, power plants. Now, if you're we just
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: have to as a public service do this. If you're
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: an MS NOW viewer or a CNN viewer, you have
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: no idea what's going on. You're being told this would
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: be a war crime to hit bridges, and it's the
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: worst war crime. This is an absolute war crime. This
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: is absolutely not a war crime. If you talk to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: any expert, on real expert, not an MSNBC one, but
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: a real legal expert, it's not a war crime. It's
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: done all the time in every war. Bridges and power
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: plants are a very common target in war. We do
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: it all the time. We've done it that We've taken
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: out entire cities. World War two, we took out Dresden,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: firebomb the whole city. Hirotima is a good example. These
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: are not war crimes. You can do this in war.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens at eight o'clock tonight. Now,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: you know, he is flexible as president. It could be
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: another extension. He likes these extensions. But we'll see what happens.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: The briefing yesterday was pretty powerful describing exactly how this
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: guy was rescued. It was an incredible operation. You know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: they spent about three hundred and fifty million dollars to
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: get this guy back, and a lot of presidents wouldn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: do anything like that. Remember Clinton leaving Americans and Somalia,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Obama leaving troops in Libya, Biden leaving people in Afghanistan.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: It's happened a lot, and apparently, as Trump confirmed, a
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: lot of the military did not want to do the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: rescue operation. Not that they wouldn't like to rescue the guy,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: they just thought it was too risky. You'd be putting
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: hundreds of lives at risk because it took hundreds of
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: people to go in there and get the guy back.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: So a lot of the military argued against it, a
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: lot of them Hexith and General Kin, they were fully
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: on board with it, but it was the President who
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: micro managed the thing, stayed on top of it. That's
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: why he canceled his weekend trip to Palm Beach and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: decided it had to be done, whatever the cost. And
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: it took. Now listen to this, one hundred and fifty
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: five military aircraft were on that rescue. One hundred and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: fifty five aircraft, including four bombers, sixty four fighters, forty
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: eight refueling tankers, thirteen rescue aircraft. A lot of it
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: was a subterfuge. One of the reasons they did this.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: A lot of these aircraft went to other locations just
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to confuse the Iranians about where the airman was and
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: where the rescue was, and it was really tough. They
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: had to fly very very very low on some of this.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: As President Trump pointed out, we've got helicopters with bullet
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: holes in him. It was about a three hundred and
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: fifty million dollar rescue. When they say boots on the ground,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: We've already had boots on the ground, and I ran twice.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: We did it for the first pilot that was rescued
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: a few days ago, and we did it again this weekend.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: There were about one hundred commandos on the ground and
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: they had to scale that mountain seven thousand feet. The
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: pilot badly wounded. First had to take care of his wounds.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: This is all in the training, how to dress your wounds,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: and then how to mountain climb. He had to climb
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: seven thousand feet, find a crevice a cave to hide in,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: which he did. And then they knew his location because
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: he kept sending out a beacon, which is very accurate,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: like right down to the inch where he is. When
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: they tried to land all these heavy aircraft, they were
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: landing on at times very wet sand and they were
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: sinking into the sand. Very very difficult to operation, but
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of boots on the ground. They got it done,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: They got him out of there. It was an amazing thing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: The press conference was so moving and so powerful that
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of the network news made sure not to
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: show it, not to let anybody see it, not to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: let anybody know about it. Think about what happened. The
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: guy is shot down on a Friday, on Good Friday,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: shot down hiding in a cave, and rescued on Easter Sunday,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: flown out as the sun was rising on Easter Sunday.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: An amazing thing. You know, this would be an incredible movie.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: This is the kind of story. Every producer in hollywould
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: be going nuts with the check book trying to buy
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the rights to this. But because Trump is a hero
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in this, because it was Trump, no movie. There'll be
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: no movie about this. There'll be no books about it,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: There'll be no movie about it. If it were Obama's president,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: there'd be seventeen movies on the drawing boards, forty two
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: books would be in the works. Now, nobody was killed
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: in this operation. You gotta remember there's an important statistic.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: More people have been killed in Chicago in the last
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: five weeks that we've had this war. More people have
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: been killed in Chicago with the gunfire all over the streets.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: More people have been killed in Chicago than in our
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: war and Iran. In fact, how many soldiers were losing
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the last week is zero. How many people were killed
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: in Chicago in the last week. I think it's eleven
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: were shot. It's not even close. So we'll see what
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: happens later. President yesterday was no, here's another thing they're after.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: We put out this false story through the CIA. It
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: leaked it out through all kinds of sources that would
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: get back to Iran. This is when the pilot was
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: still missing. We leaked out that we've got him, that
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: he's been rescued, and we were taking him out in
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: an amphibious operation at the sea that was to throw
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: off the enemy. Well, somebody in the Pentagon started leaking
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: out that it's not true that the pilot was still missing.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: He was still hidden somewhere in Iran. Whoever, the leaker
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: has put everybody in danger, and President Trump says they're
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: hunting for this leaker. They will find this leaker. Somebody
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: in the government leaked it to the Washington Post, to CBS,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to Reuters, and the presidents as they'll track him down.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: We have to find that leaker, because that's a sick person.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Probably didn't realize the extent of how bad it was.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine that the person did. But we're going
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: to find out. It's national security and the person that
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: did the story will go to jail if he doesn't
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: say and that doesn't last long. And I think everybody
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: would understand that they put this mission at great risk.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now you got to reveal the source, now that
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: this happened before where they threatened to put you in
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: jail if you don't reveal, you know, the press, they
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: never want to reveal their source. You're never supposed to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: do that. But this is different. This is serious, serious,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: serious national security. So they won't fool around with us.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: They'll put the person in jail. It's happened. Remember the great,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: great journalist Judith Miller went to jail over that. Remember
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Mary Tyler Moore in one episode went to jail over
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: not really leaker. But so somebody from CBS or the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Washington Post or somewhere will end up going to jail
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: over this. Hey, a good news is this is very
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: good news. They say there's no good news anymore. Well,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: here's some Stephen Colbert has been fired. He'll be thrown
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: off the air May twenty first. That'll be the last
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: time you'll ever see this guy on network television. Now,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: what's going to replace Colbert? Well, it's going to be
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Byron Allen, the comedian. Byron Allen, over the last couple
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: of decades, built a television empire, became a billionaire by
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I sometimes you've seen these shows through the years, these
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: comedian shows with Byron Allen. What's part of a massive
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: production company. He built in a massive empire that's now
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: made him a billionaire. And he's a great negotiator, very
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: powerful force out there in Hollywood. So he's convinced CBS
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: to hand him the hour and there'll be two things
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: in the eleven thirty slot. It'll be Comics Unleashed with
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Byron Allen, and they're going to try something different in
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: late night. They're going to do actual comedy. Now, you
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: got to remember, Colbert's not a comedy show. It's a
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: political shows, a hate filled show. They call it the
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Late Show, they should call it the Hate Show. It's
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: a raging Trump derangement syndrome. Guy with like unbelievable hate
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: for President Trump, and that's his whole halfen, and then
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel copied that. So Byron Allen's going to take
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: it back to what Late Night was supposed to be,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: just actual comedy entertainment. Laughs. Now this comic's unleashed every
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: night has a group of comedians and they're all very funny.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing he has told them. The panel
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: has been told no politics. Quote. I tell the comedians
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: we're doing I Love Lucy. We want something that's in Evergreen.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Don't want to hear any political humor. Just be funny,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: family friendly, advertiser friendly, funny. Now that's the first half hour.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: The second half hour is going to be a comedy
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: game show, also produced by Byron Allen, called Funny you
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Should Ask. So it'll be this comedy show, no political jokes,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: nothing political, and then a game show that will replace Colbert.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Now prediction it'll do very well in the ratings. Now,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I remember these late night shows have tiny audiences. Colbert
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: has a tiny audience. Kimmel has an even smaller audience.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: So when they see this, this do well. If it
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: gets triple, which it probably will probably get triple. Colbert's ratings.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: You'll see Kimmel go pretty soon because then ABC will
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: do something like that. Fallon is a different sort of
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: a guy. He's gotten into that Colbert kind of a trap.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: But Fallon is really deep down. He's just a great
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: comedian Saturday Night Live and great impression. So Fallon can
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: convert back to a comedy show. He'll drop all the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: politics and go back to a straight comedy show. So
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: this will be the last chance to save Late Night.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Colbert and Kimmell absolutely destroyed it. It was created That's
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a Night Show by Steve Allen and then Jack Parr
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: and Johnny Carson was just comedy entertainment. Jay Leno continued
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the tradition. Then these guys just took it right down
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: into the sewer, just made it hatefield political. Also, remember
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: when you do that kind of left wing, crazy partisans,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: you're chasing away half the audience right away. Your half
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: of America can't watch. It's a crazy business model. Hey,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie was back yesterday on The Today Show. What
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: did it sound like? Her first moment on the air
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: had a sun coming up.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Welcome to Today on this Monday morning. We
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: are so glad you started your week with us, and
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: it is good to be home.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is good to have you back at home.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Well, here we go, ready or not, let's do the news.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, so good to have you back. Yeah. So while
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: this is going on, there was a guy who, way
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: back when was sending ransom letters. A lot of different
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: ransom letters coming in, but there were a couple they
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: thought might be legitimate. There was one long ago. There
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: was weeks and months, a couple of months ago when
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: this happened, sending ransom notes to TMC. Well, the guy
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: was back yesterday sending new ransom notes, and this time's
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: saying he wants money to let them he can tell
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: them where the body is and who the kidnapper was.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: And he said she's dead in the ransom she's dead,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: but I can tell you where you'll find the body.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: It went to Harvey Levin. He immediately turned it over
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: FBI and everything. TMZ got the letter here there.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: We got another letter today from this person, an email
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: saying I know where her body is and who the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: kidnapper is. Give us, give me half a bitcoin and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you. And this person has been really persistent,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: knowing that if it's a scam.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: It's a federal crime. That's pretty interesting. I mean, you
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: got to assume she's dead. It's sixty five days without
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: her heart medicine, blood pressure medicine, everything else. She's got
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: a pacemaker. Absolutely hard to believe she could you live
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: after sixty five days. So hey, the Artemis space capsule
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: orbiting the Moon took that great picture as they came
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: around the Moon. You see the Moon and way off
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: in the distance, up in the sky, little thing up
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: until you see the Earth. It's an incredible Instagram picture.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I know, you try to put up yourself at some
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: amazing shot for Instagram, you can't top that one. It
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: costs like eight billion to get this Instagram shot. But
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: outside of that, I don't know what we're going to
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: do over there, but hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
