• 0:08
  Speaker 3: 710WOR.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Hey. Well, third and final hour. Don't forget, it's three
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: hours every day. We now start at 9 a.m. The
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: show's now nine to noon, three hours every day. Oh,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: my God. You know, this crazy El Sayad is running
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: in Michigan. What's his name? Omar Mohammed Abdul, whatever his
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: name is. Al-Sayed, this crazy left-wing socialist. He's running in Michigan.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: But the big guns, the big names are coming out.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris was there this weekend to campaign for him. Yesterday, AOC,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, that's a big respected name in
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the democratic world, out there campaigning for him. And now
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: it's Obama. Obama will go out there and campaign. for
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: al-sayyad this guy was an extreme anti-semitic disgusting candidate nobody
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: thought he could even get the nomination but he did
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and the democrats i guess they're holding their nose i
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: think and running out there to campaign for him obama
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: looking for a little cover so he's bringing a lot
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of other people for the same campaign and he's making
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the other candidates show up like the candidate for governor.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: They're making other candidates show up so it doesn't look
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: like it's just an Al-Sayed rally. So Obama realizes he's
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: got to try to put a little distance there. This
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Al-Sayed is becoming more and more mainstream to these Democrats
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: despite the deep anti-Semitism, despite the crazy socialist nonsense. There's
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: only one guy that will... Well, it's Rahm Emanuel. Remember that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: He's a tired old guy from Clinton world. Rahm Emanuel.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, he's emerged as a presidential candidate.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think he has any chance at all. First
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: of all, he's too much from the past. He's way
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: too from the past. The Democratic Party's moved on from him.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: But he got himself on the Sunday show. And when
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: they asked him about Al-Sayed, listen to him hem and haw.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Will you endorse Abdul Al-Sayed?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a complex issue.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Will you endorse Abdul El-Sayed? Do you support him, given
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: that position? We have massive disagreements. I support the Democratic Party.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: I support the Democratic candidate. I'll be going to Michigan again.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I've been there repeatedly to help the gubernatorial candidate.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he won't say he supports El-Sayed. Hey, you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: it's interesting. El-Sayed needs help. He's bringing all the big
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: guns in, as they say, Kamala Harris, AOC. And the big,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: big one is they're bringing in Obama. you'll notice they're
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: not bringing in Bill Clinton. You'll notice there's no Hillary
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Clinton here. And if you're Bill Clinton up there in Chappaqua,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: you're getting pretty steamed because, you know, he still thinks
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: he's the great figurehead of the Democratic Party. He still
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: thinks he's relevant, that he's the ultimate Democrat. It's not.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: They've all forgotten about him. They've all moved on from him.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: He means nothing to them anymore. It's Obama. They want
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Obama there they haven't asked Bill Clinton to record anything.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: They just think he's way in the past. Uh, I
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: saw him the other day. He is not looking so good.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's a little frail. I mean, trouble walking.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He had a couple of guys like right next to him,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: make sure he didn't fall, not in such great shape anymore, but, uh,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you know, he's gotta be really up to it. Why
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: haven't they called me? They haven't called me about the campaign. And, uh, anyway, uh, Hey, uh,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: If you're the news media, if you're Democrats and Trump
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: says something crazy, outrageous, you got to stop trying to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: make it a campaign issue. It doesn't work anymore. People
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: are used to this now. This guy's been around in
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: presidential politics for 10 years. Once in a while, he
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: goes Howard Stern and says something outrageous. It happens. He
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: was making a joke about it. Iran's going to bomb
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a city. Why don't you bomb LA? It's a terrible joke.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: You can't say that if you're president. But he says
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: things like that. But don't try to blow it out
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: of him. It's not going to mean anything to anybody.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: People are numb to it now. So believe it or not,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina, where Lindsey Graham's sister, Darlene Graham, is
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: running for Senate. And she's a little behind right now. Listen,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: she's not the best candidate. I mean, as a campaigner.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: But she's running against Annie Andrews. And Annie Andrews is transgender.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So Trump is there campaigning, and he's calling Annie Andrews
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the transgender. He's calling her Tranny Annie. All right, here's
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the Democrats to fake news, going nuts, trying to stir
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: this up into a huge issue. Listen to this big headline.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Trump repeatedly used an anti-trans slur. Repeatedly used an anti-trans slur.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I guess you're not supposed to say Tranny. I don't know.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. But I guess you don't say
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: that anymore. But if your name is Annie... and you're transgender,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you know Trump's going to do that. You're tranny Annie,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: tranny Annie, tranny Annie. It's a technique he uses where
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: he just repeats something, gives you a nickname that labels you,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: repeats it a billion times, so that's all you think
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: about when you think of the guy. It's brilliant, actually,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: like Sleepy Joe, Sleepy Joe, Sleepy Joe. I said that
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: so many times. Whenever you see Biden, you think Sleepy Joe.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: The most brilliant one was Jeb Bush, who was so boring,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: There was, you couldn't even make fun of the guy.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: There wasn't even a characteristic to make fun of. The
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: guy was so drab. I don't know where he came
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: up with it. He called him low energy Jeb, low
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: energy Jeb, low energy Jeb. So whenever you looked at him,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that's all you thought, low energy Jeb. And you start
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to think, it's subconsciously, you think, well, he's low energy.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: He's not going to get a lot done. So Tranny Annie,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it just drills into everybody's head that she's transgender, which
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I would think to some South Carolina voters, It's going
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to turn them off. I mean, let's just be realistic.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: For some voters in South Carolina, it will bother them.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: So let's see here. Oh, Democrats, cover your ears for
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a moment. Yeah, oil is dropping even more. Oil down
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to $ 87 a barrel. Big, big drop from where it was.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: It's coming down. One of the reasons is we've got
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: tons of oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz. We do,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: not Iran. Between the Strait of Hormuz and we're now
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: using some pipelines. We're getting about 17 million barrels out
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of there some days. That's pretty much pre-war levels. Here's
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Scott Besson.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Right now, the score, in terms of barrels out of
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the street, U.S., about 1.1 billion around zero. For the
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: first time in history, since they started pumping oil, they
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: will have no oil on.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: The water this week. They will have no revenues. Yes.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: So during this period of the Iran conflict, we've gotten,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: what did he say? Was it one billion?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Right now, the score, in terms of barrels out of
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: the strait, U.S., about 1.1 billion.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: 1.1 billion barrels. We've gotten a billion barrels of oil
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: through the strait. Iran, zero. That's a pretty lopsided score.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: That's worse than the Yankees in Tampa Bay. Next Yankee
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: game is tomorrow night at Yankee Stadium. Ooh, they'll have
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the home field advantage, but I hate to break it
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: to you. Tampa Bay, best team in baseball right now.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: The pitching is unbelievable. They're not going to beat Tampa
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Bay three games in a row, which they would have
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: to to win. It's not going to happen. Yankees, a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: little better offensively last night, but endless errors, just error
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: after error after error. You can't win like that. It's
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: not going to work. Hey, Fox News is celebrating its
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: 30th anniversary tomorrow. The 30th anniversary of Fox News. Now,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: you've got to remember, this was 1996. And I'm trying
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to remember, when did CNN start? Was it the late 80s? Yeah,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know, late 80s. There was CNN. Ted Turner
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: decided to start a cable network. And he came up
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: with an idea of doing all news. Like 24 hours
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: a day, you would do the news. Just one network
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that does news 24 hours a day. Well, everybody thought
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: he was insane. They wanted to have him committed. He'd
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: never heard of such a thing. The only news on
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: television was the 6.30 news. There was a 6 o'clock
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: local news. Then at 6.30, there was the network news.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: her half an hour and then you know if you're
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: watching uh nbc or one of those networks during the
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: day with the game shows and every uh so often
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: there'd be like a little five minute or was it
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: one minute news summary little update with edwin newman something
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: something like that but that was it you had the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: sunday shows but tv news was six o'clock news 6
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: 30 network news and that was it oh actually there
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: was nightline but that was more of a news talk
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: show But 24 hours a day of news was insane.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: And Ted Turner said, tried to explain this to people.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: He said, you know, they have these all-news radio stations.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: There was WINS in New York, WCBS in New York.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: There was KNX Los Angeles. And he said these 24-hour-a-day
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: all-news radio stations do very, very well. They're often in
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the top three radio stations in their city. So that's
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: where he got the idea. And he wanted to do all-news,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: and he launched CNN. And it did okay. Not great.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: It wasn't dominating anything, but it did okay. Then the
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Gulf War. Remember Iraq invaded Kuwait. The Iraq War. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: it was a big deal. And CNN was like 24-7
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: on the Iraq War. That's where it really took off
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and became really big. Everybody got to know everybody at CNN.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: They started to know who Wolf Blitzer was. Remember Peter Arnett,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the war correspondent. And who was that great anchorman? Bernard Shaw.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Remember Bernard Shaw? And there were a bunch of original
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: CNN anchors. So they became really big and CNN started
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: to do pretty well. Now, what do you do at night?
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: You know, prime time, eight, nine o'clock at night. It's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: not a big time for news. So they put on
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: a talk show. What was her name? Dr. Sonia, whatever
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the hell her name was. So it's a big talk
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: show every night at nine o'clock. And her agent was
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: her husband. Now, whenever this happens, whenever the star... lets
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: her husband be the agent, it always ends in disaster
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: because the husband has no business being the agent. And
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: he doesn't know, you know, an agent has to know
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: how to fight, negotiate with the network executive, but in
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: a very nice business-like way. When it's the husband, they
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: get carried away. Remember Suzanne Somers? Let her husband be
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: the agent. Got her thrown off Three's company. It didn't work.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Same thing happened with this Dr. Sonya. The husband has
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: given Ted Turner a hard time. Ted Turner couldn't stand
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: this guy. And Ted Turner had been friends with a
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: guy named Larry King, a radio host who had done
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: some TV shows. So he called Larry King. He said,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: could you take over? I want you to do this
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: talk show every night at 9 o'clock on CNN. And
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Larry King said, well, maybe. I don't know. When do
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: you want to start? He goes, like, tomorrow. He goes,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I hate this Dr. Sonia. I want to just screw
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: her husband and throw her the hell off. Anyway, he
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: offered a lot of money. Larry King did it. And
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: it became the single biggest thing in cable news. Larry King,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: every night at 9 o'clock, everybody watched it. It launched
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: presidential campaigns. It's where people first got to know Bill Clinton.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: And Ross Perot launched his presidential campaign there. But remember,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: it wasn't just news on Larry King. It would be
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: 20 minutes with Newt Gingrich. Then the next segment might
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: be Tony Danza. It would be a comedian. It would
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: be a politician. And then all the world leaders came on.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: The leader of every, this is the biggest deal in
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: the world, Larry King, every night at 9 o'clock. But
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: then about 1996, they launched the Fox News Channel. A
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: guy named Roger Ailes figured this all out. He hired
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: a bunch of unknowns like Sean Hannity. and Alan Combs
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: and Bill O'Reilly was pretty well known, but for other things, he's,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: it was on the CBS evening news. He was a correspondent.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: He did inside edition. That was a big show, but,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: and I, you know, the genius of ales, he just
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: knew that O'Reilly would be perfect at this. And it
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: turned out to be the number one show ever in
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: cable news. And then Hannity totally, I know it turned
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: out Hannity became, big star. Originally it was Hannity and Combs.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: And then they figured out somewhere along the line, we
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: don't really don't need Combs. It could just be Hannity. Uh,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and Fox, it was slow, but eventually it caught on,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: became the biggest thing ever. 30th anniversary tomorrow. Hey, you
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: know who died? Actually, the big news is that he
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: was still alive. Who had any idea he was still alive?
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Remember Jim Baker, the evangelist, the whatever he was with the, uh,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: you know, TV preacher and, uh, Turned out he made
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. He
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: was married to that crazy Tammy Faye Baker with the
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: tons and tons. Remember all the makeup she wore? There
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: was so much makeup. They made her join the painter's union.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was crazy. And then the guy gets
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: caught in a hotel room with this floozy Jessica Hahn
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: having an affair with her. The whole thing was devastating.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Here's Jim Baker.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Tammy and I have gone through a devastating time. Tammy
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: started first with pneumonia, and then we went through the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Betty Ford's program, and then this thing came and just
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: crushed us so deeply, and we didn't want to.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Get in the fight.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: It was like a circus.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: We couldn't believe it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Well, it's his own circus, though, and he made a fortune,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: this guy Baker.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: In one week, I raised $ 30 million at one time
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: last year, and Tammy's records and our books and all
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: have brought in literally millions of dollars. And instead of royalties,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: we took a salary controlled by the board of directors. And, uh,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I feel that, uh, we, we should have said, no,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: we just, we will not receive that.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, a lot of places, a lot of the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: times I only take a salary of 50,000 a year.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: That's it. Uh, meantime, they charge everything in the world
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: to the company. So their whole life is paid for
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: millions and millions, but they only take a small salary. Uh, Hey,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
