Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Mark Somemo the issues you really care about on seven
- 0:04Speaker 1: ten WR.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, Hey, a word is that the US and Iran
- 0:09Speaker 2: have reached a deal. That there is an actual deal.
- 0:14Speaker 2: They will have to go to the President for his
- 0:16Speaker 2: final approval, but we'll see that. But the word is
- 0:19Speaker 2: they they've reached an agreement of some kind. We had
- 0:22Speaker 2: to take some action yesterday because Iran was about to
- 0:27Speaker 2: pull something. They had four drones in the air, they
- 0:29Speaker 2: were about to go after a ship. We quickly shot
- 0:33Speaker 2: the four drones right out of the air, and there's
- 0:35Speaker 2: a ground base that was launching them about to launch
- 0:38Speaker 2: a fifth drone and we immediately blew that up. So
- 0:42Speaker 2: that might have helped speat things up. But this morning
- 0:45Speaker 2: it looks like it looks like a deal is just
- 0:49Speaker 2: about reach.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Now.
- 0:49Speaker 2: We don't know if it's a good deal a bad deal.
- 0:52Speaker 2: The President has not seen it yet. We basically have
- 0:56Speaker 2: all the cards right now. Yeah, they can close the
- 0:57Speaker 2: Straight O Horn Moose and it raises the world wide
- 1:00Speaker 2: price of oil. That's just a little temporary thing. But
- 1:04Speaker 2: as long as the straits closed, Iran has no income.
- 1:08Speaker 2: That's their revenue oil going to the Straight of Horn Moose.
- 1:11Speaker 2: As long as it's shut down. Their economy is shut down,
- 1:15Speaker 2: and they've got a problem in that it's been going
- 1:17Speaker 2: on for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks, so
- 1:19Speaker 2: they've had to have this huge backup of oil that
- 1:23Speaker 2: they've had to store somewhere, and apparently they're just about
- 1:26Speaker 2: out of storage facilities for the oil. So if you
- 1:29Speaker 2: can't store the oil anymore, you got to shut down
- 1:32Speaker 2: your wells. And once you shut down the wells for
- 1:36Speaker 2: a time, it's very, very tough to reopen them. Everything
- 1:39Speaker 2: shuts down, rusts up, dries out. It could be a
- 1:43Speaker 2: long time damage to their economy. So that's one problem.
- 1:48Speaker 2: The other problem is we've frozen all of their assets.
- 1:50Speaker 2: We've got about five hundred billion in Iranian money that's
- 1:53Speaker 2: frozen we're holding, so big, big, big problem for Iran.
- 1:58Speaker 2: So they're the ones motivated to make it we can
- 2:01Speaker 2: last like this for a long time. I mean, the
- 2:02Speaker 2: price of gas being up is a bad thing, but
- 2:05Speaker 2: outside of that, we don't have anything to worry about it.
- 2:08Speaker 2: They've got everything to worry about a shut economy. Their
- 2:11Speaker 2: oil field's about to get damaged from being shut down.
- 2:15Speaker 2: So it looks like a deal has been reached. It's
- 2:18Speaker 2: on its way to the President for approval. But we'll
- 2:21Speaker 2: see what happens, so expect something to be announced later today.
- 2:25Speaker 2: The Trump is suing the Wall Street Journal for ten
- 2:29Speaker 2: billion dollars. It's over the crazy Epstein sort of stuff
- 2:35Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal. There's a number of complaints. One
- 2:39Speaker 2: is that they published that ridiculous birthday card. It was
- 2:43Speaker 2: a birthday card that looked like all sorts of celebrities
- 2:45Speaker 2: mailed in all sorts of birthday greetings. There was one
- 2:50Speaker 2: from Donald Trump, which is clearly not Donald Trump, so
- 2:53Speaker 2: most likely Epstein just faked it. He does know a
- 2:57Speaker 2: few celebrities who sent him some birthday stuff, but looks
- 3:00Speaker 2: like looks like he forged some of them. The one
- 3:04Speaker 2: from Donald Trump is an obscene drawing with Trump's signature
- 3:08Speaker 2: under it. I got a lot of Trump's signatures on
- 3:10Speaker 2: a lot of letters and notes, and that signature doesn't
- 3:14Speaker 2: match any of them. So it's clearly not Trump's signature,
- 3:17Speaker 2: and that obscene drawing it doesn't look like anything Trump
- 3:20Speaker 2: would do, so they published it. Trump is suing them
- 3:25Speaker 2: for ten billion. Now here's the problem. He may have
- 3:28Speaker 2: a case here, but he's suing for damage to his reputation.
- 3:33Speaker 2: It's a tough case to make. I mean, who could
- 3:35Speaker 2: have a reputation that's been more attacked than Donald Trump?
- 3:39Speaker 2: How could you make the case in the courtroom that
- 3:41Speaker 2: what they said about me was so harmful to me
- 3:45Speaker 2: when the worst things on earth are being said about
- 3:47Speaker 2: you a billion times a day, every second, all over them.
- 3:49Speaker 2: So how could you claim your reputation was hurt? And
- 3:53Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal can claim it was an Epstein
- 3:57Speaker 2: birthday card. Thing came from Epstein, came from his file.
- 4:00Speaker 2: We had every reason to publish it. It was from Epstein.
- 4:04Speaker 2: May have been faked by him, but it was from him.
- 4:07Speaker 2: So we'll see where this lawsuit goes. Bruce Springsteen, now
- 4:15Speaker 2: I never thought he was that political. I mean in
- 4:17Speaker 2: all the years, you know, there's some songs about America
- 4:20Speaker 2: about this, but he's never been political. But he's guts
- 4:24Speaker 2: and I don't know if he really has as much
- 4:25Speaker 2: Trump hatred I think he does. But can also be
- 4:28Speaker 2: for business purposes. You know, he's an old old timer
- 4:32Speaker 2: from him way back when, and they're trying to stay
- 4:34Speaker 2: cutting edge current and he attack Trump like crazy. Well,
- 4:38Speaker 2: maybe it's good for his business, but and it's fine.
- 4:42Speaker 2: You know you want to attack Trump. Great. I don't
- 4:46Speaker 2: think anybody takes Bruce Springsteen seriously when it comes to politics.
- 4:49Speaker 2: But if you were watching in a week or two,
- 4:51Speaker 2: good Boy. In the middle of the concert, he starts
- 4:53Speaker 2: doing a rant about Trump. Well, actually it's on my
- 4:56Speaker 2: Twitter if you can take a look at it. He's
- 4:59Speaker 2: ranting about Trump, how he's destroying America. But the funniest thing,
- 5:02Speaker 2: you can see the video on my Twitter. He's reading
- 5:05Speaker 2: it off a teleprompter. And he's not the brightest guy
- 5:07Speaker 2: in the world, so he has to read the rant
- 5:10Speaker 2: off a teleprompter. But apparently last night he's at a concert,
- 5:14Speaker 2: doing a concert in DC. Now, you go to a
- 5:16Speaker 2: Bruce concert. You're paying a fortune to sit there. What
- 5:19Speaker 2: are you paying all this money for for him to
- 5:21Speaker 2: do his hits, for him to entertain you. You're at
- 5:24Speaker 2: a concert, You're there to have fun. So apparently he
- 5:29Speaker 2: launched into a vulgar rant about Trump, using the F words,
- 5:34Speaker 2: screaming the effing White House. He's screaming, screaming in this rant.
- 5:40Speaker 2: But here's the thing. It went on for six minutes,
- 5:45Speaker 2: six minutes of screaming about Trump. This is in the
- 5:49Speaker 2: middle of a concert. Six minutes. That's two songs that
- 5:52Speaker 2: could have been in there. He's just going on and
- 5:56Speaker 2: on and on. Now a lot of people around him
- 5:58Speaker 2: are starting to worry, really worry that he's becoming unhinged.
- 6:02Speaker 2: If you hate Trump, great, you know, yell about it
- 6:04Speaker 2: for ten seconds, twenty seconds in between songs, a minute
- 6:08Speaker 2: if you have to. But if I can't even play
- 6:12Speaker 2: it on the air because it's a lot of f words.
- 6:14Speaker 2: But it's really deranged ranting. He's not even saying anything.
- 6:18Speaker 2: He's just screaming and yelling about Trump, and he's just
- 6:21Speaker 2: repeating things over and over again six minutes, six minutes
- 6:27Speaker 2: in the middle of a concert. Yeah, you don't talk
- 6:29Speaker 2: about anything for six minutes in the middle of a concert.
- 6:33Speaker 2: So people starting to worry that they're gonna have to
- 6:38Speaker 2: do Something're gonna have to medicate him a little, give
- 6:39Speaker 2: him some of the oj on trial medication a mellow
- 6:42Speaker 2: them out, get him to calm down. Hey, Stephen. Colbert
- 6:46Speaker 2: went off the air and Byron Allen replaced it with
- 6:50Speaker 2: his comics Unleashed. It's pretty good, actually, you know, if
- 6:54Speaker 2: you watch it, it's pretty much it's the same thing
- 6:57Speaker 2: as Gutfeld. It's four comedians and Chares and Gutfelt's very funny,
- 7:01Speaker 2: and this is very funny, and you start to realize,
- 7:04Speaker 2: you know, that's what late night TV was supposed to be.
- 7:07Speaker 2: You know, you're supposed to get all riled up and
- 7:09Speaker 2: angry and Trump hatred and get yourself all into a
- 7:12Speaker 2: frenzy over Trump before you go to sleep. But if
- 7:14Speaker 2: you watch that Byron Allen Show, or you know, like Gutfeld,
- 7:18Speaker 2: it's very charming, relaxed, it's very funny, you laugh, it's humor.
- 7:23Speaker 2: It's what you want to watch right before you fall asleep.
- 7:25Speaker 2: To take a look at it tonight it's on eleven
- 7:28Speaker 2: thirty to twelve thirty, and it's just very funny stuff.
- 7:32Speaker 2: It's really funny, and it's doing well. Now you're going
- 7:36Speaker 2: to see in the fake news they're going to put
- 7:38Speaker 2: out all these numbers about how the ratings are terrible,
- 7:41Speaker 2: how it's down eighty five percent for Colbert. Well that's
- 7:44Speaker 2: not really true. Overall, I think it's averaging about a
- 7:48Speaker 2: million people, which is not you know, Colbert didn't do
- 7:50Speaker 2: much more than that. But again, it just came on.
- 7:54Speaker 2: It's going to take a while to attract its own audience. Obviously,
- 7:57Speaker 2: the angry hatefield Colbert audience. They're not looking for laughs
- 8:01Speaker 2: in comedy, so they went away. And it'll take Byron
- 8:04Speaker 2: Allen a while to attract his own audience. So the
- 8:07Speaker 2: overall number looks like it's down. But but and Byron
- 8:12Speaker 2: Allen has been putting out these numbers. You know a
- 8:15Speaker 2: lot of these ratings come from New York in LA
- 8:17Speaker 2: and d C. New York and LA, the major cities,
- 8:19Speaker 2: the very blue elitist in New York, you know, Washington,
- 8:24Speaker 2: d C, LA, that crowd. But Byron Allen has been
- 8:28Speaker 2: putting out the breakdowns of real America, you know, the
- 8:31Speaker 2: real heartland of America. If you look at the other cities,
- 8:35Speaker 2: if you look at Nashville, if you look at the Midwest,
- 8:38Speaker 2: if you look at normal places, it's actually beating Colbert already.
- 8:43Speaker 2: It's actually way up from what Colbert had. So give
- 8:46Speaker 2: it a few weeks till people find out it's on.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Takes a little word of mouth, takes a little you know,
- 8:52Speaker 2: changing channels before people find it. So a month or
- 8:54Speaker 2: two from now it may have much much bigger ratings
- 8:58Speaker 2: than Colbert had. Hey, those ice detention centers, you know
- 9:03Speaker 2: the one in New Jersey. Again, tremendous rioting, yelling, screaming.
- 9:09Speaker 2: There's a crazy left wing kooks that are was a
- 9:12Speaker 2: truck driver trying to get out, these protesters blocked him.
- 9:16Speaker 2: He gets out and starts going after them. These are
- 9:19Speaker 2: Antifa thugs there. This's Antifa funded by George Soros types,
- 9:24Speaker 2: funded by nevill Roy Singman out of China. So they're
- 9:28Speaker 2: jinning all of this up to go after these ICE centers.
- 9:31Speaker 2: And of course the knee jerk Democrats play right along
- 9:35Speaker 2: with the Democratic officials. The Mikey Sheryl, the Cory Booker's
- 9:39Speaker 2: yelling about this ICE center. And Mark Wayne Mullen, new
- 9:45Speaker 2: Homeland Security Secretary, he's asked about it in this cabinet
- 9:49Speaker 2: meeting yesterday. The cameras are on him and he said,
- 9:52Speaker 2: it's a detention center. It's a prison, it's not a
- 9:54Speaker 2: holiday inn. It's not supposed to be great conditions. Now
- 9:58Speaker 2: there's this controversy about the food that they're being starved
- 10:01Speaker 2: at a well, actually they're on a hunger strike. As though
- 10:04Speaker 2: you've been hearing this hunger strike. That's Mikey Cheryl. That's
- 10:06Speaker 2: why we had to act well, yeah, it turns out
- 10:09Speaker 2: it's not really a big hunger strike. It's just a
- 10:12Speaker 2: handful of certain detainees want their own ethnic food. And
- 10:16Speaker 2: well here's here's Mark gwynmulland.
- 10:18Speaker 3: It's our sanctuary city.
- 10:19Speaker 2: And they're no.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Hang on, they say that they're that it's because they're
- 10:24Speaker 1: on a hunger strike, when there was only a handful
- 10:26Speaker 1: of individuals that was refusing to eat because they want
- 10:28Speaker 1: their ethnic group or their ethnic right food. Well, they
- 10:31Speaker 1: go back to the country and get whatever fee they want.
- 10:35Speaker 2: So now most of the people in there by the
- 10:37Speaker 2: way are rapists, murderers, gang members, drug dealers, that sort
- 10:42Speaker 2: of stuff. This is who Democrats are defending like crazy.
- 10:45Speaker 2: So he's also got an idea that if you're you know,
- 10:48Speaker 2: some places to declare New York wherever where a sanctuary city,
- 10:52Speaker 2: no enforcement, no law enforcement, no ICE, No, we're a sanctuaries. Uh,
- 10:57Speaker 2: it's an interesting idea. If you're really a sanctuary city
- 11:00Speaker 2: and you're not going to help ICE, maybe we'll ban
- 11:03Speaker 2: international flights from coming in.
- 11:05Speaker 3: It's interesting if they're a sanctuary city and they're receiving
- 11:09Speaker 3: international flights and we're asking them to partner with us
- 11:13Speaker 3: at the airport, but once they walk out the airport,
- 11:16Speaker 3: they're not going to enforce integration policy. Maybe we need
- 11:19Speaker 3: to have a really hard look at that, because we
- 11:21Speaker 3: need to focus on cities that want.
- 11:23Speaker 2: To work with us. Yeah, interesting idea. I don't get
- 11:26Speaker 2: away with it. But hey, this sixty minutes they're trying
- 11:29Speaker 2: to clean house there. Barry Weiss, the new CBS chief,
- 11:32Speaker 2: is trying to get rid of all the fake news,
- 11:35Speaker 2: slanted partisans. Yeah, sixty minutes have been caught lying and
- 11:39Speaker 2: wrong about so many things. Leslie Stall totally wrong, covering
- 11:43Speaker 2: up the surveillance and Trump tar all that kind of stuff.
- 11:46Speaker 2: So bad stuff been going on at sixty minutes. So
- 11:48Speaker 2: apparently you got rid of Sharon al Fonsi. I haven't
- 11:51Speaker 2: seen sixty minutes in years, but apparently she's been there
- 11:55Speaker 2: for years. So she's leaving. They gave her some other
- 11:58Speaker 2: sort of job at CBS. But she put out a nasty,
- 12:01Speaker 2: nasty statement that she said, don't think for a second
- 12:06Speaker 2: that this was a routine corporate transition. This is not modernization,
- 12:12Speaker 2: this is not restructuring. So he's basically saying I was
- 12:14Speaker 2: fired for my beliefs. Well, good, good, stop slanting sixty minutes.
- 12:20Speaker 2: We think of our old buddies, Mike Wallace and those
- 12:24Speaker 2: guys and Morally Safer and Harry Reason. I look what
- 12:27Speaker 2: you're doing to their show. Hey, ozempic. That's interesting because
- 12:33Speaker 2: you had to try to lose weight. You know, they
- 12:35Speaker 2: used to have diet pills. They used to have all
- 12:37Speaker 2: kinds of weight loss schemes, diets and it work. That
- 12:41Speaker 2: didn't work. Then ozempic is invented, and all of those
- 12:45Speaker 2: kind of shots, those ozempic type things. You just take
- 12:48Speaker 2: the shot and boom, you lose weight. You see it
- 12:50Speaker 2: in your friends, you see it in people. Well you
- 12:52Speaker 2: get that ozmpic. That's it weight loss, one hundred percent success.
- 12:56Speaker 2: You're gonna lose weight. It's guaranteed with the Well. There's
- 12:59Speaker 2: an another thing like this that's being developed. I think
- 13:03Speaker 2: they're pretty close. They may have a cholesterol shot that
- 13:08Speaker 2: will just bring down your cholesterol. They're working on this.
- 13:10Speaker 2: They're very close to perfecting it. An actual cholesterol shot.
- 13:14Speaker 2: So if you can't get your cholesterol down, you'll take
- 13:17Speaker 2: this shot every week. Problem solved. There'll be more and
- 13:20Speaker 2: more of these where you'll just take some injection every week, instantly, instantly,
- 13:25Speaker 2: solving your problem. Hey, you got to give credit to
- 13:29Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo. Boy, this guy I admire the Hootz bothers guys.
- 13:34Speaker 2: This guy will say anything. You know. When he governed,
- 13:39Speaker 2: one reason everybody hated him so much after he left
- 13:42Speaker 2: is that he was the most left wing, extremeist governor
- 13:46Speaker 2: we ever had in Albany. He's the guy that gave
- 13:49Speaker 2: us no bail, no jail. He's the guy that shut
- 13:51Speaker 2: Indian Point down. He's the guy that emptied out the prisons,
- 13:55Speaker 2: closed prisons. He's the guy that totally changed the parole board,
- 13:59Speaker 2: put on all these crazy left wingers that let everybody out.
- 14:02Speaker 2: They let out forty three cop killers. I may go
- 14:05Speaker 2: on and on the craziest left wing stuff. The worst
- 14:08Speaker 2: one he gave us was the no bail, no jail.
- 14:11Speaker 2: I mean that pretty much caused the crime with But
- 14:14Speaker 2: if you watch him on an interview now, he'll actually say,
- 14:18Speaker 2: as a moderate Democrat, you know, these democrats are very left.
- 14:21Speaker 2: There's a moderate democrat and he actually convinces himself of this.
- 14:26Speaker 2: And I guess if you say it enough times, maybe
- 14:28Speaker 2: somebody will believe you. But I'm looking at this yesterday,
- 14:32Speaker 2: Joe Biden there's Cuomo. He's going after Joe, the people
- 14:37Speaker 2: that covered up Joe Biden. He was totally incapable. Where
- 14:40Speaker 2: was everyone? Where was everyone? Where was the Democratic Party?
- 14:44Speaker 2: Where was the chief of staff? Why didn't they say anything?
- 14:48Speaker 2: What about you? You didn't say anything either for the
- 14:51Speaker 2: whole four years, and you were governor for a good
- 14:53Speaker 2: chunk of that. You were dealing with the Biden mistress.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Where the hell were you? You never said a word
- 14:58Speaker 2: about it. Now you got to give him credit for
- 15:01Speaker 2: a nerve, real nerve. I don't think he's totally delusional.
- 15:04Speaker 2: I think he's just good at the again, just pathological hoods.
- 15:09Speaker 2: But it's unbelievable. You know, the Democrats did that autopsy
- 15:13Speaker 2: to see what went wrong in twenty twenty four, what
- 15:16Speaker 2: went wrong in that election? Well they put out the
- 15:19Speaker 2: detailed autopsy. Everybody looking at it says they can't believe
- 15:22Speaker 2: this autopsy. It's the biggest joke ever. It never mentions
- 15:26Speaker 2: Biden's mental state, never says a word about it, Never
- 15:30Speaker 2: said anything about the choice of Tim Waltz, which was
- 15:33Speaker 2: total disaster. Never says anything about Kamala Harris and her
- 15:38Speaker 2: bad debate performance, her screwed up interviews where she doesn't
- 15:41Speaker 2: know what she's talking about. Never gets into her border
- 15:44Speaker 2: czar where she was the worst in the world. It
- 15:48Speaker 2: puts the blame on Biden allies for failing to rally
- 15:52Speaker 2: enough votes. It never gets into the selection process where
- 15:57Speaker 2: they tossed Biden out and appointed a camp to day
- 16:00Speaker 2: without the public being involved. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number?
- 16:07Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
