- 2:01Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, got? They do every time. The only problem
- 2:06Speaker 1: is I don't think they realize I love Papu Canon
- 2:09Speaker 1: used to be a regular guest on the show. I
- 2:10Speaker 1: don't think they realized, Like that's thirty years ago. Nobody
- 2:12Speaker 1: even knows who you're talking about anymore. Ut you gotta
- 2:15Speaker 1: update that a little. Well, let's go to doctor Bob,
- 2:18Speaker 1: a great surgeon in Long Island. Doctor Bob, how you doing?
- 2:22Speaker 4: Yes, I'm walk good to speak you again. Walker. I
- 2:24Speaker 4: was wondering I never heard the negotiating point with Iran
- 2:28Speaker 4: used by Trump and the Trump people of using a
- 2:33Speaker 4: neutron bomb to irradiate, to bomb the actual uranium that's
- 2:39Speaker 4: been processed and have it radiated so it couldn't be
- 2:43Speaker 4: approached or use for a thousand years.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't. We don't. We don't have to do that,
- 2:47Speaker 1: believe it or not. We got a whole team. They're
- 2:49Speaker 1: great at extracting nuclear material and destroying it. Years ago,
- 2:53Speaker 1: Kadafi turned over his nuclear material in Libya. The team
- 2:56Speaker 1: went in there, got it all, wiped it out. It's
- 2:58Speaker 1: easy to destroy it. You can either take it away
- 3:00Speaker 1: and destroy it or destroy it there. But it's simpler
- 3:03Speaker 1: ways to do it. You don't have to use a
- 3:04Speaker 1: neutron bomb. But thanks for Colin. Let's go to Tom
- 3:09Speaker 1: and Queen's Tom. How you doing? Hey?
- 3:11Speaker 3: Mark the morning. Just to follow up with the Israeli
- 3:15Speaker 3: de Paradum and Dami, this report out that he also
- 3:19Speaker 3: now wants to drop Tch's name off the Queensboro Bridge.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Hear anything about that?
- 3:25Speaker 1: Yeah, we were going to get to that the next door.
- 3:26Speaker 1: There's a movement. It's not just him, it's a bunch
- 3:28Speaker 1: of Democrats and they want to remove Koch's name from
- 3:32Speaker 1: the fifty ninth Street bridge. The argument they make is
- 3:36Speaker 1: that he was horrible in the AIDS crisis, and he
- 3:39Speaker 1: was responsible for thousands of gay people dying because of
- 3:43Speaker 1: his bad response to the AIDS crisis. If you look
- 3:45Speaker 1: back and look at the details, he can't really fault Kotch.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't probably respond in the way we
- 3:51Speaker 1: should have immediately. But it was the same thing with
- 3:54Speaker 1: the coronavirus. You don't know what's going on. Fauci completely
- 3:58Speaker 1: bungled up everything, by the way, he was the guy
- 3:59Speaker 1: in cher Ard to the age response back then. But
- 4:03Speaker 1: as as much as you want to criticize the government,
- 4:07Speaker 1: do you remember the beginning of the pandemic. Nobody quite
- 4:10Speaker 1: knew what to do. It takes a while to figure
- 4:11Speaker 1: it out. I mean, the dumbest thing ever done in
- 4:14Speaker 1: history was Cuomo sending patients with the virus into the
- 4:17Speaker 1: nursing home. I mean, that was just murder, That was
- 4:20Speaker 1: just insane, That was irrational. But in the case of
- 4:23Speaker 1: couch that, yeah, a lot of people lost. A lot
- 4:26Speaker 1: of people thanks for calling, but a lot. In the
- 4:29Speaker 1: case of Kach, who was totally sympathetic to the problem,
- 4:33Speaker 1: it was just not quite knowing what to do just yet.
- 4:36Speaker 1: And then there were some people that thought and then
- 4:39Speaker 1: when he did respond, when he got really serious, remember
- 4:42Speaker 1: they closed down the gay bathouses. Then the gay community
- 4:44Speaker 1: got mad at him. So it was a no win
- 4:46Speaker 1: situation for him. But again they could have responded better
- 4:50Speaker 1: in the beginning. But that's the reason, Mom Donni, you know,
- 4:54Speaker 1: it's really more of an excuse. I also think there's
- 4:56Speaker 1: a little anti semitism here with Mom Dommy the most
- 5:00Speaker 1: famous Jewish mayor, and I think in the case of
- 5:03Speaker 1: Mom Doning, he's a lot of anti Semitism involved in this.
- 5:05Speaker 1: But they're trying to get Kochia's name off, the business
- 5:08Speaker 1: off the bridge. Julie men and city council speaker at
- 5:11Speaker 1: that same thing where they were speaking, agreed to take
- 5:15Speaker 1: Kaitcha's name off. However, later she backtracked. Now when she's
- 5:19Speaker 1: asked about it, she said she never never intended to
- 5:22Speaker 1: say that. So it should be ed. Koch was a great,
- 5:25Speaker 1: great mayor, and you can point to all the great
- 5:28Speaker 1: bay A lot of people will say he saved New
- 5:31Speaker 1: York City financially fiscally when we were about to go
- 5:34Speaker 1: under financially. Hey, we'll get all the latest news. And
- 5:38Speaker 1: then when we come back, we'll talk to the greatest
- 5:40Speaker 1: columnist in America, Michael Goodwin. Coming up next on seven
- 5:44Speaker 1: to ten wor
