  Speaker 2: Hey, well, we'll get to Lindsey Graham, we'll get to Iran,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: We'll get to FIFA, We'll get to Crazy Mom, Donnie
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Legionnaire's disease, what you need to know, and a whole
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: lot more coming up. It's Monday, it's warm. I got
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: one heat wave day. That'll be Wednesday, where it gets
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: to the mid nineties. Won't be as bad as that
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: last e wave because a little less humidity. Lindsey Graham
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: apparently was having some symptoms and should have done something
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: weeks and weeks ago. Should have seen a doctor, should
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: have gotten some help, but he neglected it and died
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: from torn a order basically a heart attack heart failure
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. He was a big drinker, I mean not
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: an alcoholic, but a big drinker. He was always drinking.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: That didn't help the situation. And again there was some
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: morning signs he should have had checked out, but didn't,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and he had gone to Ukraine and made a long,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: long trip home from Ukraine on Saturday. Called the President
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: when he got back, mostly to tell him about his
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: talks with Zelensky, talk about the save America Act and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: said he was tired. It was right after that phone
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: call with the President on Saturday night that he started
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: to have chest pains. He's not married, he was never married,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't have children, lived alone. But when he was having
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: these chest pains, he called a friend of his and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: she called it nine one one and she headed over
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to his house. Nine one one got there first. He
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: tried to leave the door open for them, but there's
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a gate that you can hear nine one one actually
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: calling the medics, calling for police to help them make
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: a forcible entry into his house. They couldn't save him,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and he died at the age of seventy one. He
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be on Meet the Press Sunday morning,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and then who filled in? Donald Trump on the phone
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: called in to Meet the Press to talk about Lindsey Graham.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And he called and he said, we're all set for
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: the Save America Act. He was pushing the Save America
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Act like crazy. He got back, said he just landed
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: from Ukraine. I said, that's a long trip to me,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: said he sounded a little tired, but perfect, but a
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: little bit tired.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I had a right to be.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: And he was a worker.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: He was really a worker.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: But he sounded great actually, but he actually said he
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: was tired.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Now, it's a huge loss for President Trump. Huge loss,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and it's not just a vote in the Senate. It
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: was Lindsay Graham who got a lot done for President Trump.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: First of all, they talked almost every day. He was
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: a real advisor confidante of the presidents. But also he
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: was a guy who could run around in the Senate
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and in people over. If they needed to convince some Democrats,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: it was Lindsay Graham that could do it. He was
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: like an old fashion senator from the Tip O'Neil days,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: where in those days everybody was friendly. If you were
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a Republican, you go talk to your Democratic friends, you'd
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: take him to lunch, you'd go out for drinks after work,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. That's all gone except Lindsay Graham
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: was still from that school of doing things and very
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: effective at getting votes, at organizing things, getting things done.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: So huge loss for President Trump.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I can't believe it. He was like a member of
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: the family.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: To me.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: It's very tough. Actually, it's amazing, mister he was. He
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: was such an advocate. He was you know, he if
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: he wanted to get something. And you know, he had
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: a unique ability. He was able to deal with Democrats.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: And if I had a problem, a real problem, I
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: wouldn't often ask, But if I had a problem with
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: a Democrat, he could work it out.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And no better friend to Ukraine to Israel then
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Lindsey Grammy, your Benjamin Natanya, who has been coming on
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of shows the last two days to talk
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: about his great friend and supporter, Lindsay Graham.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: I think America has lost a great patriot. Israel has
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: lost one of the great champions of the American Israeli Alliance.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: And frankly, I've lost a beloved friend I've had for
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: many decades. Yeah, so it's a huge loss. South Carolina.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: The governor McMaster, very close ally of President Trump's, will
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: have to appoint somebody to take over that Senate seat
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: until January. Then at some point they'll have to have
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: an election. But no matter who gets elected, it will
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: be the disappointment that is in the Senate seat till January.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: There's a couple of choices. President Trump has somebody in mind,
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: and again he's very close to McMaster. They'll figure this out.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Well, I have somebody that I think would be great,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: but I don't want to say it now because it
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: just you know, it's too soon. With Lindsey, I don't
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: want to even talk about anybody, but I do have
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: somebody that I think is really good.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, remember South Carolina has another great senator, Tim Scott.
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure everyone connects the dots on who he
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: is and why he is. His mother dies of cancer,
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: fifteen months later, his dad dies of a massive heart attack.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: He adopts his thirteen year old sister when he was
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: just nineteen years old and a student at the University
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: of South Carolina, and that remarkably hard and harsh beginning
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: would frame his worldview.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's also interesting to note he was not
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: a rich guy. He's one of the few people in
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the Senate that did not cash in on being a
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: senator with all that insider trading and all that stuff.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: You know, Pelosi worth four hundred million, five hundred million,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: some worth six hundred million. These guys, even Marjorie Taylor
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Green There're two minutes made twenty five million. A senator.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: You get all kinds of inside information and believe it
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: or not. If you're in the Senate, it's legal in
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the Senate to trade stocks on inside information. And that's
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: how many of these people make a fortune. Lindsey Graham
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: did not make a lot of money, did not die wealthy.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: And it just goes to show what I wanted, an honest,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: honorable guy. He was really decent guy. Now who could
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: get that appointment to take his seat? Well, it can't
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: be Nicki Haley. She's totally disqualified because everybody hates her,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the President, the governor. She's the nastiest, most awful person
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to work with. Everybody that was in the White House
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: when she was there said the most awful person they
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: ever worked with. So and the President made that pretty clear.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: There's no way it's going to be Nicki Haley. She
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: even put out a statement saying, I will not be
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: running in this election because she can't even run for
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the seat because the President everybody would come out and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: denounce her. So she's got no shot at that. Iran. Well,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: price of oil, you know, we were back to fighting
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: with Iran, but the price of oil is not really
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: spiked much. It went up a little, just a little.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: It was you know, before the wards in the upper sixties,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: sixty seven, sixty eight and We had it down to
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: that a week ago. Now it's spiked up to seventy three,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: which is not much. In the first round of the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Iran War, its spiked up to one hundred and ten,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: So this is very very very minor spike. This round
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: will probably go a few weeks. We're hitting about one
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: hundred and ninety five two hundred targets a day. We're
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: taken out missiles and drones and defense capabilities and radar
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and all that sort of stuff. Actually, and we're concentrating
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: more on missile launchers rather than missiles. It's the launchers
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that are, you know, the stuff we need to take
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: out because you could have a lot of missiles, but
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: if you can't launch them, they won't do anything. So
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: this will go on for a six or seven weeks,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and then we'll see the Straight o horn Moose. Were
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: about to open the Northern nothing northern the southern route.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: The northern route is right along the coast of Iraq.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Southern route the other side of it. We opened that
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: last time, we'll open it again. And by the way,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: when the President opened the Straight of horn Moose a
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: few weeks ago, and he only had it open a
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: few weeks. It was pretty successful. Eight hundred ships got
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: through when we had it open, eight hundred and twenty
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: ships actually came through. Eight hundred and twenty ships got through,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and they brought out three hundred and eighty million gallons
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: of barrels of oil. Three hundred and eighty million barrels
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: of oil, So that's pretty successful. So we'll get that
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: open again. That's one reason price oil is not spiking
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: up too much because they realize that we'll get the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: we'll get the southern route open, which means the Strait
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: is basically half open, which is all you need. Now.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Iran has threatened to kill Donald Trump. They've tried it before,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: but at the funeral for their leader, which they had
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: last week, huge flags and huge banners saying that we
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: will kill Donald Trump. We will kill Trump. So and
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: is Israeli intelligence picking up the warning signs that they're
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: out to kill Trump. That's why they couldn't use the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: new air force one they had used the old one.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: The new one doesn't have full missile defense, and they
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: were taken off from Turkey, and what Israeli intelligence had
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: picked up was that there was a chance of shoulder
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: fired missile somewhere on the ground. And that's why when
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Trump left Turkey, it was in the old Air Force
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: One that has full missile defense, and it was surrounded
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: by fighter jets, not escorted by two, surrounded by about
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: fifteen fighter jets as Air Force One came back to
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the US. Now, the President has made it clear he's
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: left instructions with everybody. Anything happens to him, they are
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: to just literally wipe out Iran. He said, there are
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: a thousand missiles locked and loaded, ready to go, and
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: that would only be round one. We would then wipe
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: out everything in Iran. So that's a pretty good deterrent.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: But who knows what these crazy lunatics, if anything, is
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: a deterrent President Trump, but also over the weekend mocking
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Party for letting what he called the loud
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: and unattractive socialists take control, the radical left lunatics who've
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: taken over the party. You know, if you're a Democrat,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: your enemy is Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Adam Schiff,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: all these people. This is the enemy. These are the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: people that allowed your party to be taken over by
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: crazed socialists, by nutsjubs, it's Schumer, Jeffries, those leaders that
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: should have stopped this, that should have done something about it,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: should have held the line on this. They gave up,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: They surrendered, They hid under the desk and let the
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: lunatics take over the party. We should talk. We got
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the Mamdanni here in New York who put out that
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: ridiculous map. It was basically for FIFA visitors, people from
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: all over the world coming here. He put out a
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: map of if you want to visit some of our
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: great ethnic neighborhoods, where to visit. He had a little Yemen,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: little Pakistan, little Nirobi. He left out little Italy, left
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: out the great Irish and Italian neighborhoods. Little Italy is
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: one of the big, big, big tourist attractions. Even locals,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: even people in suburbs. How many times, how many times
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: somebody said, Hey, let's go eat in little Italy. Let's
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: go down a little Italy. You hear that all the time.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: When was the last time anybody said to you, let's
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: go to a little Yemen to get something to eat.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Let's go eat in little Pakistan. It's never happened, Mam
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Donnie coming up with one ridiculous excuse after another. The
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: reason he left off Little Italy is obviously socialism, anti
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: semi comes with it, and that's just chapter one. Right
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: behind anti Semitism is anti Catholic. That's why I know
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: literally no Irish neighborhoods, and right behind that is anti Christian. Mom,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Donnie again with the dumbest excuses.
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: This map was initially created by the prior administration in
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: twenty twenty three, and when we inherited it, we added
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: a few additional neighborhoods. It's clearly not an exhaustive list
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: of the more than two hundred ethnic communities that call
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: our city home, and we're going to be making additional
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: changes in the future to reflect that, and that includes
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: adding Little Lily to the map.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Well here you go. They inherited it from the previous administration.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Well that happens all the time, you know. We hey,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: we're here at wr We inherited this from the previous owner.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: And when iHeart bought it, it was a dump this place.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: It was hideous, So we tore it all down and
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: built a whole new place. That happens all the time.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: They'd buy a building, fix it up so that you
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: got the map from the previous administration. You fix it up,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: you'll look it over. And nobody believes this excuse. It
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: was from the previous administration. So he just comes up
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: with one excuse after another. So one of his commissioners
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: was caught about to have a meeting with the Iranian ambassador,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: which we don't recognize. And you're not supposed to meet
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the Iranian ambassador when we're at war with them, Mom,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Donnie trying to explain that away.
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: That meeting did not take place. It will not take place,
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: and I did not know about it until there was
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: a press inquiry regarding it. And when it comes to
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: the work of our commissioner and our International Affairs Office,
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: it's to ensure that as we are a city of
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: the world, that we are also there to meet with
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: leaders from across the world. The focus is always on
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: our city and our relationship.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Hell is this guy talking about our International Affairs Office.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: The Mayor of New York fixed the potholes, run the
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: police Department, our Foreign affairs, international policy instat. This guy
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: has visions of grandeur. You see, this guy's never had
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a job before. He's thirty four years old. He's just
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: a kid, never had a job before, so he envisions himself.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: You got to admit it's a pretty amazing accomplishment to
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: be twelve years old, never had a job, and you're
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: the mayor of New York. It's like a doogie howser.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: It's an amazing accomplishment mayor of New York at thirty four,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: first job ever. So based on that, I could see
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: where he gets carried away. Thinks he'll be a president.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: He's not qualified to be president because he wasn't born
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: in this country, but he's imagining something that will be
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: some kind of international figure. That's why he has an
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: International Foreign Affairs Policy Institute office. And if this commissioner
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: is running around meeting with the Iranian ambassador, why isn't
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: she telling anybody as he claims?
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: The commissioner recognizes that this was made an error, and
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: we're working on a new process in terms of new
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: meeting requests.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: See that's how you talk when you're in government. You
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: just say he got caught was doing something you make
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: it was a position error where a process of requests
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: of you just throw on these government sort of words
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: and try to tunk your way out of it. Hey,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one

• 15:51
  Speaker 10: Hey, Mark, how are you? I just want to Lindsey
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: Graham was my senator. There are times that we were
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: so fure us with him. We tried to get rid
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: of him often, and there were times that we looked him.
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: I mean, uh, the days that he was good friends
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: with John McCain were not good days here with him.
• 16:12
  Speaker 10: But you know it's uh, the vitriol that I've seen
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: online about him has just been unbelievable. I mean, people
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: have done.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Democrats, Democrats pretty pretty tasteless about Lindsey Graham online.
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: Oh it was awful. And they're looking at they were
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: talking about Joe Wilson, who is I think kind of
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: like Joe Biden right now. You know, he's a Republican,
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: but he's he's kind of out of it. And they're
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: talking about Nancy Mays who ran for governor here and lost,
• 16:39
  Speaker 10: so she's going to be out of Congress soon, so
• 16:42
  Speaker 10: they're talking about her replacing him, which I wouldn't mind.
• 16:45
  Speaker 10: She's she's done some pretty good things.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it was quite a shock.
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: You know, I've met him, I didn't know him, but uh, yeah,
• 16:53
  Speaker 10: it's it's uh, it's quite a loss for South Carolina.
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: Kim Scott is now senior senior.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: So he's not the senior there. But all right, Stuart,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: great call, thanks for calling. Let's try. Let's Jay is back.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Jay in New Jersey. How you doing?
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Mark?
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: Sorry, But people love to talk about Lindsey Graham's moment
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: with Brett Havanaugh. You know that was that was when
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: he set up for him and all the Democrats were
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: trying to destroy him.
• 17:18
  Speaker 11: But I think people forget that.
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: Lindsey Graham voted for every liberal judge that came his way.
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: He voted for keg and Sado mayor and every leftist
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: judge below that. So I think that that's not a legacy.
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: If if anything, that's kind of you know, where we
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: should not talk about you know, yeah.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Listen, he uh spent a lot of time on the
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: left side of things, then moved to the right side
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of things. You know, they say it's it's not where
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: you start, it's where you finish. But he was like McCain.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: He could go either way, and that's why they called
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: him a maverick. But that's you know, it's okay. He
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: was still a great guy and he did a lot
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: of good things. But let's go to uh Mark and Hawthorne. Mark,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Hey? How are you?
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: Goods spoke before when he said that he couldn't be
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: president because he wasn't born here. Have to be a
• 18:05
  Speaker 10: natural born citizen or neck.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Yet, why are you the only one that couldn't figure
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: out what I was saying. He wasn't born here, he
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: can't run for president anyway, thanks for calling uh yeah, Mom,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Downey wasn't born in the US, can't be president. Let's
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: go to uh Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich. How you doing?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Thanks?
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Mark?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: You know, Lindsay Graham was a swamp creature. He was
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: part of the Gang of Aid who wanted amnesty for
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: who knows how many millions of legals. He really blew
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: whichever way the poles blew. He didn't really help us
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: down here South Carolina with the gas prices, you know,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: with the oil and all that kind of stuff. And
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: he really was you know. And now they're talking about
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: you know, Agains Pam Evertt, who's from Ohio originally, who
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: ran for governor and the primary, and I lost that,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: So I'm I'm a grace person. Also, I think she'd
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: be pretty good down here. But Lindsay Graham, you know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: you know, unless he was fighting for a Republican judge
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: on TV, he did really nothing. The office has never
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: returned fall calls. He pretty much flew with the wind
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: and just faced whatever polls would make him look good.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I forgot. We have a lot of listeners in
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: South Carolina. So you guys calls now origin from New York.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: So you guys down there, My parents have been here
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: since eighty five.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: You guys in South Carolina weren't too thrilled to them.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: But you like your governor McMaster right.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: He's okay, And now the big pressures on him is
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: some people accused him of being kind of middle of
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: the road. Now in South Carolina, the governor does not
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: have when he the two things going to happen. Number One,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: he gets to a point the Techway person which does
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: not have to be of the same party that the
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: senator who just left has to be, so he could
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: appoint a Democrat.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Could be a disaster.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: That's like that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: But now we're gonna have to have a special election
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: and a primary. We're actually gonna have a primary, so
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: nobody's going to be anointed, and that's going to start
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: in August, and then they're gonna have the elect I
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: think they start the primary the end of July or
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: the beginning of August, and by the end of in
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: August we'll have somebody who's actually gonna win that seat
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: and have a special election. Then in November that person
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: has to go against a Democratic nominee.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll work out for He'll do all right down there.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Thanks for Colin. Well, let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark, Good morning, Mara. Mark. I'd like to
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: offer my condolence is to Lindsey Graham's sister and his niece.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: And apparently last night they were talking about Lindsey Graham
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: family wise with his sister and his niece was a
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: real stand up guy that when his parents died, he
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: took it upon himself to help raise his sister and
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: take care of that. That, to me, aside from the politics,
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: that to me is the measure of a man. You know,
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: he did the right thing with his family. And I hope,
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: as Rich from South Carolina said, I hope the governor
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: down there picks a person who was for the America
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: First Trump agenda and not some wobbly rhino or god forbid,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: some Democrat. And I hope we get a good pool,
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: as Rich said, of applicants for the Republican primary, and
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: that they stick with the Trump's America First agenda. As
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: a side note, on the Parkway yesterday and coming home
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: from the shore, gas was four p forty nine on
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: the Parkway, which compared to Obama's days. I remember going
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: on the Parkway, gas was four sixty nine a gallon.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I remember that's New York, New Jersey. It's three eighty
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: everywhere else in the country someplace.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: I know, Mark, I know, I know actually some places
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: in the country it's it's even less, like Arkansas and
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: places like that. Oklahoma it's even less. But I just
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: I'd never gaess up on the parkway, so I'm not
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: worried about I don't guess up on the parkway. First off,
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: I just don't.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I understand too many cameras there or something like that. Well,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: you don't have to answer.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: No. I go to places where I pay cash.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I got it, I got with it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: I never stick a credit card.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Big water bills with the broccoli rubber band around.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: It, Bob.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Nine of the things I buy in life either other
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: people buy for me or I pay for with cash.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: I understand. I got it all right, Vincent, thanks for calling.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Take care, Oh when we come back. The greatest columnist
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: in America, Michael Goodwin, great column yes day. We got
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: lots to talk to him about, and we'll do that
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: next on seven to ten.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Wo R clear or coms for common Sense, Mark Simon
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: on sevent wr.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Well, Michael Goodwin, the finest columnist in America. You're gonna
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: read them every Sunday, every Wednesday in the New York Post.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: And he's with us every Monday. Michael Goodwin, how you doing?
• 22:58
  Speaker 12: Good morning? Mark?
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: You Hey? What a column about mayor Momdanni. He's busy
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: with all sorts of things except what should be his
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: big focus right now, taking care of the homeless. Didn't
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: he promise to do that?
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 23:12
  Speaker 12: Right, But at the same time he vowed that he
• 23:16
  Speaker 12: would not remove the encampments. And people might recall that
• 23:23
  Speaker 12: twenty of the homeless people died froze to death on
• 23:28
  Speaker 12: the streets during the winter storms. And now here we are,
• 23:33
  Speaker 12: of course, in the good weather, hot weather, and the
• 23:37
  Speaker 12: encampments are spreading everywhere they're used. Someone suggestion we call
• 23:44
  Speaker 12: them Mandaneyville, right that there are just to the I
• 23:50
  Speaker 12: wrote about on the west side, the far west side,
• 23:52
  Speaker 12: near the Intrepid. I mean, it's amazing, you've got blocks
• 23:57
  Speaker 12: full of this shantytown material and people. But of course
• 24:03
  Speaker 12: the filth, littering, petty crime, just the whole eye sore
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: import on the local business and citizens is really outrageous.
• 24:16
  Speaker 12: But it's condoned by the mayor.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: But explain this to me, the socialist mayor that never
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: hesitates for the government to take control of people's lives, taxes,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: regulate us, tell us what we can do step in
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: government control with everybody else, why not with the homeless
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: who might need it the most.
• 24:35
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I think if you're looking for consistency. You're expecting
• 24:39
  Speaker 12: too much. Look, you know, socialism is all about control,
• 24:46
  Speaker 12: and so in this sense, it is a lack of
• 24:49
  Speaker 12: control that imposes a control on the citizens itself, right
• 24:55
  Speaker 12: on the neighborhood and just the tax players who look
• 24:59
  Speaker 12: at the and say what am I doing here? Why
• 25:03
  Speaker 12: am I paying taxes? And I had to lay next
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: to this fills, walk through it, look at it, smell it, and.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: Be afraid of it.
• 25:14
  Speaker 12: That's that's one of the drawbacks of socialism. It's not reasonable.
• 25:20
  Speaker 12: It is never negotiating its tenants with the people.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Who pay the bills.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, I kept saying, well, it's not
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: so bad with mom Donnie, but it's only six months,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: right with this one of stuff that you're talking about
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: two years a now, this could be a look like
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: San Francisco with homeless everywhere in the street, couldn't it?
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: Sure? Yeah, And you know, Mark, I think I wrote
• 25:44
  Speaker 12: that column recalling an interview I did with Eric Adams
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: just before he left office, and he was very upset
• 25:54
  Speaker 12: and mom Donnie was going to be the mayor, and
• 25:57
  Speaker 12: he said, people don't understand humb power a mayor has.
• 26:02
  Speaker 12: So a mayor can simply say to the NYPD, don't
• 26:07
  Speaker 12: make prostitution arrest on the street, don't arrest people from
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: miss demeanor crimes, right, and don't rouse the homeless. And
• 26:17
  Speaker 12: he said, when people start to see this spreading in
• 26:20
  Speaker 12: their neighborhoods where there's open prostitution, open drug sails or
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: the homeless, they're going to maybe finally wake up and
• 26:29
  Speaker 12: realize the mistake they made in electing him.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we never thought he'd miss Eric Adams, did we?
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: But we do.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
• 26:40
  Speaker 12: So a good point.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: You got real problems like that legioneer's disease Upper east Side,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: now it's been spotted on the Upper west Side. Shouldn't
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the mayor be all over this? Shouldn't his team be
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: inspecting every water tower in you? Should he do things
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: like that more well?
• 26:53
  Speaker 12: Also this question of the high rise building right that
• 26:57
  Speaker 12: ris buckling. You don't get a sense of any effort
• 27:03
  Speaker 12: to reform the public systems that maybe overlooked or get
• 27:10
  Speaker 12: new their jobs. When it comes to these kinds of things,
• 27:14
  Speaker 12: everything falls on the private sector and the government basically
• 27:19
  Speaker 12: bears no responsibility until the mayor decides or we're going
• 27:25
  Speaker 12: to take responsibility for your private property, or we're going
• 27:29
  Speaker 12: to impose mandates. So there's no give and take here,
• 27:33
  Speaker 12: there's only takes.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course you're talking about the permitting process given
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: out building permits, which is a major source of revenue
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: for politicians. I don't think they're going to touch that
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 27:45
  Speaker 12: Well, the developers and the businesses are big political contributors,
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: and the mayor basically can't go to war with all
• 27:58
  Speaker 12: of them and expect to raise money. I mean, George
• 28:02
  Speaker 12: Sorows can't do it all by himself. So I think
• 28:06
  Speaker 12: usually mayors come to the table with something of a
• 28:12
  Speaker 12: give and take out sid you do this, will do this.
• 28:16
  Speaker 12: But when Mom Danni, there's none of that. There's no
• 28:19
  Speaker 12: reasonable negotiation over the way the city works.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Is his way or the highway?
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Hey, for Democrats out there, shouldn't they be fuming
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: furious at the leaders at Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: for allowing these crazy socialists and Democrats to flourish in
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: their party. I mean, Schumer basically hiding under his desk
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: the last few years. Aren't they the real enemy of
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: the Democrats, that these leaders that let it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: Happen what they are and I think what was mark
• 28:50
  Speaker 12: it was shortal life. They thought by letting the Alcs
• 28:55
  Speaker 12: and Omar and Tude and the others to the party,
• 29:01
  Speaker 12: they were effectively tolerating the left and sort of drawing
• 29:05
  Speaker 12: a live of the Republicans. In fact, the guard dogs
• 29:10
  Speaker 12: ate the owners.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: That's what happened.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: That you know that these people have.
• 29:16
  Speaker 12: Turned on the Democratic Party and are now on the
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: verge of over, of taking it over. And those sidelining
• 29:26
  Speaker 12: the Shumers uh and people like that Kakim Seffriings. I mean,
• 29:31
  Speaker 12: they're like turning them into messengers for their for their
• 29:36
  Speaker 12: control of the party. I just say Schumer's hiding under
• 29:40
  Speaker 12: his desk. I think Jefferies went away to try to
• 29:45
  Speaker 12: learn how to speak socialists because he cannot elect anybody.
• 29:51
  Speaker 12: Anybody he endorses is is just dead meat as far
• 29:56
  Speaker 12: as the socialists are concerned.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Wow, well, the only good thing on the horizon is
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, who's within six points now seven points maybe
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: of Kathy Hopele. If Blakeman were to win, don't you
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: think that's the turning point? It could also the tide
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: could start to turn there absolutely.
• 30:13
  Speaker 12: I mean, the governor has lego power line diso power.
• 30:20
  Speaker 12: George Pataki won in a lawsuit against the Democrats in
• 30:25
  Speaker 12: the Assembly and really so when it comes to the budget,
• 30:29
  Speaker 12: he can line on them things out him detoi with
• 30:32
  Speaker 12: a line on him, and so that gives you a
• 30:35
  Speaker 12: real power. And Leezellen, where he was writing four years ago,
• 30:40
  Speaker 12: talked about that that's important power that a governor can have.
• 30:44
  Speaker 12: So even if you have a split government in terms
• 30:48
  Speaker 12: of Democrats and Republicans, everybody has some power, and the
• 30:53
  Speaker 12: governor has a lot of power. So look, I would
• 30:56
  Speaker 12: like to see him, Bruce Blakeman step up the game.
• 31:02
  Speaker 12: I think the poles are encouraging, but I think there's
• 31:05
  Speaker 12: a sense mark that he needs to do out there more.
• 31:09
  Speaker 12: He needs to be making more news and be more visible.
• 31:13
  Speaker 12: So the readers of the media and things like that
• 31:17
  Speaker 12: get a sense people don't call them every day, but
• 31:20
  Speaker 12: get a sense that there is an alternative to the
• 31:24
  Speaker 12: Hoko mamzani pokes, which is overtaking this state as well
• 31:29
  Speaker 12: as the city.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know, people say that Alton Blakeman's got to
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: get out there. Nobody's out there more than Blakeman. I mean,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: I look at his schedule. He's all over the state.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: He's doing everything every day. If the media, the mainstream media,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: isn't going to cover it, what does he do about that?
• 31:43
  Speaker 12: Well, that's a very big issue, and I think part
• 31:47
  Speaker 12: of the thing it convincing the media that it's a
• 31:52
  Speaker 12: real race, that he's a serious contender with a real choice.
• 31:57
  Speaker 12: I think the polls are beginning to show that. But
• 32:01
  Speaker 12: if they consistently show it to you a real race,
• 32:04
  Speaker 12: the media will get it more coverage, and that I
• 32:08
  Speaker 12: think will be to his advantage because most movers are
• 32:13
  Speaker 12: unhappy with the current situation, and I'll be, But I
• 32:17
  Speaker 12: think there's still a little time for Blakeman to make
• 32:21
  Speaker 12: the case in a way think gains wider coverage, and
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: I hope that happens soon.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Well we do too. Blakeman would be great for governor Well.
• 32:31

• 32:35

  Speaker 2: Exactly how it happened, What happens where this Lesioneers is
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: what you need to know about. It will give you
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: all of that. Hey, at noon today Buck and Clay
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Bucks Exton Clay Travis. It's a really good show every
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: day from noon to three. Then at three o'clock you
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: got the most listened to radio show in America. Sean
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Hannity got Jesse Kelly every night six to nine, nine o'clock,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Fayla, the great, great comedian, really good talk show host.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: And you combine these two things, you get a very funny,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: great talk show every night at nine. Right here on
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: seven to ten wor.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Insight from the Inside. This is seven ten wrs.
• 33:41
  Speaker 13: Mark Moon Show.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Well, the death of Lindsey Graham a great surprise for everyone.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: President Trump pretty emotional about it, and they were close.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Democrats and some Republicans too, a little tacky about it,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: attacking Lindsey Graham right after he died Democrats, obviously a
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: lot of them really really inappropriate, tasteless tweeting about Lindsey Graham.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: But here's Steve Schmidt. You know it's a Republican advisor.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I think he worked on the Romney campaign. Lindsey Graham
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: was a simple, tragic man. He lacked the moral core. Well,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I guess he's talking about flip flopping on things, but
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: you're kind of supposed to not do that stuff right
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: after the guy dies, I mean the night he dies,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: the next morning, it's not the time for it. But well,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: he could be. He was very close to John McCain,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: and McCain was the same way. You never know what
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: way he would go on an issue or with somebody.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: McCain got labeled a maverick as a result. Lindsey Graham
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: got labeled a maverick as a result. And he started
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: off as a big enemy of President Trump, calling him
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: every name in the world. Remember in that speech where
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: he said, you want to make a Erica great again,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: get rid of Donald Trump, that kind of stuff. But
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: then he turned the other way, became very close to Trump,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: became one of his most trusted advisors, confidants, and really
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: gave Trump a lot of help understanding the swamp, pointing
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: out where he needed to get rid of some people
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: or change some things. So it's a big, big loss
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: for the president. And no word yet on a funeral
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: or anything like that for Lindsay Gram wasn't married, lived alone, Washington,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: d c. Very modest house, not a wealthy guy. One
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: of the few people in Congress that decided not to
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: cash in on it. So hey, coming up in the
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: next hour, we'll get to Johnny Carson, We'll get to FIFA,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: We'll get to legioneers and all of that. And who's
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: going to replace Lindsey Graham and Moore? Just ahead, it's
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone here every weekday ten to noon, or you
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: can listen anytime. Just get the podcast. We can hear
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: the show whenever you want. Back after the news seven to.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simonia on wor.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Well. The death of Lindsey Graham, big surprise for everyone,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: the President, President Trump. Lindsey Graham was supposed to be
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: on Meet the Press Sunday. He died Saturday night, so
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: President Trump agreed to call in and replace him as
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: the guest. The opening guests for the first ten minutes
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: on Meet the Press, and then Since then, he's done
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of shows. President Trump even agreed to do
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: CNN it will go on with Jake Tapper. He said,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: we'd like to CNN get on a more normal path,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: straighten itself out. He's actually talked to a lot of
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: TV shows. Who does he want to replace Lindsey Graham?
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Now here's the way it works. In South Carolina. The
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: governor appoints a replacement that will fill out the term
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: served till till January. Then in November they'll have a
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: special election for the permanent replacement. But the governor of
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, close to Trump McMaster, will appoint a replacement.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Who does Donald Trump think? Who would he want?
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I have somebody that I think would be great,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: but I don't want to say it now because it just,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: you know, it's too soon. With Lindsey. I don't want
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: to even talk about anybody. But I do have somebody
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: that I think is really good.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Who does he want? This may surprise you take a guess. No, No,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: his choice that he will recommend is Lindsay Graham's sister,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Darlene Graham Nordone. You heard the story that he's had
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: a rough life. Lindsey Graham. He was in college and
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: while in college, his mother died, then his father died.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Both parents died while he was in college. He then
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: adopted his sister, who was thirteen at the time, and
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: raised her. And pretty courageous guy, Lindsey Graham. So the
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: sister would be Donald Trump's choice. So we'll see how
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: that goes. We'll see what happens with that. This legionnaire's disease.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: What do you need to know, Well, it's around the
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Upper east Side. They found it in about thirty different
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: water towers above the building. Is that water tower where
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: the water sits that they're used for the building, the
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: air conditioning, all that kind of stuff. It's actually now
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: thirty one buildings on the Upper east Side. One of
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: them is the Guggenheim Museum. Now, the problem, if it's
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: in the water tower and gets in the water system
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: of the building, it can run through the building, and
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: it can run through the air conditioning system in the
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: vapor in the mist, and that's where you can catch it.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: So if it's in the water tower of the Guggenheim Museum,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: you would think they'd close it, but they have not
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: closed the museum. Now, how does it get in the
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: water tower. Well, it's lee Jenella, which is a bacteria
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: and it can just naturally happen in a body of water,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: but it usually happens in very high temperature, when the
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: water gets really really warm and still that's where it
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: can form. Now, you remember the heat wave of July
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: fourth week, It was those three days that probably really
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: really really got this going. So in that kind of heat,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: that's where you got to worry about Legionnaire's disease. It's
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: formed in thirty one of these buildings. Eighteen of the
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: properties have already cleaned and disinfected their water cooling towers.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: The other twelve buildings were ordered to complete it quickly.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Hopefully they've got it done. That would bring it up
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: to thirty. The museum, I'm sure is on top of it.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: At least forty six people caught it in those buildings.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: And here's the bad news. They've just discovered it in
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: a water tower on the upper west side. That's the
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: first sign of it there. The city has tested one
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty three cooling towers on the upper east
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: side since the outbreak, which started July second. So this
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: is where you need a real mayor not a first
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: time guy who's in his first job. And you need
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: a real task force to get out there and really
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: really start checking these water towers, these cooling towers. But
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: hopefully they'll get on top of it. But again, the
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: first report on the Upper West Side has happened. That's
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: not good news. Hey, FIFA, here's some good news. FIFA
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: is over on Sunday. Thank god, it's enough with this FIFA.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: FIFA is over Sunday night. This is I don't know
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: what do you call this playoff week or final round,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: this round, that round, and then Sunday night it's it.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: It will be the final game. And then they won't
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: get the hell o here. Of course they'll take with
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: them all those tourists, and that's a lot of money
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: being spent in New York. But we always get plenty
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: of tourists. But it'll put things back to normal. It's
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: happened to me a number of times when I'm walking
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: by a restaurant, I see it's mobbed. It's packed. People
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: can't even get into the looking in the window, and
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: I said, well, this must be and then I get
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: up close. I realized it's because the restaurant has a
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: lot of TVs with the soccer on and they're all watching.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: It's some even staring through the window. I don't know
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: what the hell they're looking at it. You can't tell
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: one team from the other. Hey, tonight it's All Star break.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: All Star Game. Tonight is home run derby. That's probably
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: the best event in baseball. Let's be honest. What do
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: you want to see more than anything else? A home run?
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: In fact, I would just make that a sport home
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: run derby every night. It's a great thing to watch.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: So that's tonight. Dairy Queen. I love Dairy Queen. I'm
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: a big Dairy Queen fan. It's delicious. There's nothing better
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: than a dairy Queen blizzard. Warren Buffett went to Dairy
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Queen one day. Was so good he bought the whole company.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: He's owned it for decades and decades and decades. But
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: there's a little bit of a meltdown there, and they've
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: clos at least forty six locations. Texas took the biggest hit.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Alaska saw three Dairy Queen's closed down. Now that I
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: don't undertee, like, remember the heat wave. If you were
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: walking by a Dairy Queen in a heatwave. You had
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: to get at one of those blizzards there. But if
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: you're in Alaska, I think the last thing you'd want
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: is ice cream in the middle of ice everywhere. Who
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: needs ice cream in Alaska? I think hot chocolate business
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: would do better there, but they only have one left
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: in the whole state. Dairy Queen. You know, Dairy Queen
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: actually is considered the pioneer of soft served ice cream.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Now it's everywhere everywhere soft serve, but it was Dairy
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Queen that really pioneered that nineteen forty in Illinois. Buffett
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: bought it in nineteen ninety eight. There's almost eight thousand locations,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: so it's still doing pretty well. New Blizzard flavors Strawberry, mango, Mochi,
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Mexican hot chocolate, and that sounds so great. He's speaking
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: to meet the press and all those kind of shows.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: When you're watching on Sunday, they always open with these
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: big guests, you know, like with Lindsey Graham, it was
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump was the first guest. Benjamin nuttyaw who's the
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: second guest. The third segment, and this is almost every
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: week on these shows Sunday shows. The third segment Adam
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Schiff and Roe Kanna, these two low lifes. Adam Shift,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: that lying, rotten, pencilneck, vicious, hate filled guy. He's just
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: there to attack Trump. He'll call Trump all kinds of
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: names and accuse him of everything. So they love having
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: them on. Then this row Conna popped up about a
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: year ago. He's like the Indian version of Adam Shift.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: So these two guys, if you're watching the Sunday shows,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: you watch Meet the Press every week, it's Row Conna
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: and Adam Schiff as if they're major figures in Congress.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: I guess they've become major figures because they keep putting
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: them on the Sunday shows. But they are actually two
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: of the nothingest, most significant nobody's in Congress. They're not
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: known for anything there. They've done nothing, accomplished nothing. He
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: can't point to any legislation or anything these two guys
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: have done. Yet there they are on every Sunday show
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: every week, they're on CNN, they're on MSNBC. It never stops.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Why because they'll call Trump more names than anybody else.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: So they've made a career. Usually you get ahead in
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Congress by famous initiatives or bills or legislation or taking
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: a stance on some issue. But these guys did it
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: just attacking Trump. It's a strange world. Now they speaking
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: of Rocanna. He went to Israel. Now here's the most
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: anti Israel, anti Semitica. And what the hell is he
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: doing in Israel except looking for trouble. So he's accusing
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Israel of all kinds of things. The Israeli forces detained
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: them unlawfully knowing him. He was somewhere he shouldn't have been.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: But the other thing was, as long as he was there,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: they invited him to meet with the former hostages and
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: survivors of the horrific Hamas attack on October seventh. Now
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: what politician wouldn't take up that offer. You're in Israel,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: they offer to have a meeting with you, you can
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: meet the hostages and the survivors of October seventh. Rokanna
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: turned it down, absolutely not. Wouldn't talk to them. Wouldn't
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: talk to those people. What a low life. Now this
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: anti Semitism has taken over the Democratic Party is a
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: big problem for some people. If you're ramam Manuel and
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: for about a year now he's been looking at running
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: for president. Plotting and scheming is how he could run
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight. So he's Jewish. What do you
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: do about that in the anti Semitic Democratic Party. Well,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: he went over to Israel last week. Well how's that help? Well,
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: because he went over there and started denouncing Israel in Israel.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: So that's the thing with today's Democratic Party. You got
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: to look as anti Semitic as you can look to
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: get anywhere in today's democratic world, even if you're Jewish
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: like Ram Emmanuel, and shame on him for even doing that.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: And you know, if you're a normal Democrat, a normal
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Bill Clinton type of Democrat, your enemy is Ram Emmanuel,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer, Hakim Jeffreys, Nancy Pelosi. The leadership that caved in,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: that surrendered your party, handed the keys over to these crazies. Hey,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: you want a TV studio, there's a great one for sale.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: The two best in Los Angeles or the world for
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: that matter, was NBC Burbank. That's where the Tonight Show
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: came from. That's where everything came from. Hollywood Squares, Flip Wilson,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: the Dean Martinshall, NBC, the Big Laugh in the Big
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: studios in Burbank. The other big that's gone now it's
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: been bought and transformed into all kinds of things. But
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: the other one was CBS Television City in Hollywood, where
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: the match Game came from, where Carol Burnett came from.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: CBS Television City in Hollywood. Well that's gone too. CBS left,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: and then somebody bought it, and somebody else bought it.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: The current owner apparently a huge amount of debt, so
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: they're going to sell Television City in Hollywood. It's not
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: so much the owner's fault. This is the problem in Hollywood.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: There's very little production there anymore, for a couple of reasons. One,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Gavin Newsome and all those crazy left wingers running California
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: and Hollywood have let the place become a war zone.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: It's a terrible place to live and work now. And
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: the other thing is the unions in Hollywood. The cost,
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: so a lot of TV is filmed somewhere else, a
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: lot of us filmed. Didn't believe it. That's cheaper in
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: New York. Sometimes a lot of it's filmed in Toronto
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: or other cities. It's just cheaper to so there's a
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: lot less production in Hollywood. That's why they don't need
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: NBC in Burbank anymore. And that's why Television City the
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: new owner. It's beautiful studios, they're magnificent, but they couldn't
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: find enough work to keep the place going. So it's
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: up for sale now. Someday they might get a real
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: mayor in New York, hopefully here too, and turn it around.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: But it's up for sale.
• 48:16
  Speaker 13: Hey.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Speaking of which, if you want a hotel, you want
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: to buy a hotel. The Waldorf is up for sale.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: It closed about ten twelve years ago. Some Chinese company
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: bought it and started to redo it, and then they
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: went out of business. Then another company in another company, Well,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: the other company spent the money, spent fortune rebuilding the Waldorf.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: They reopened it about eight months ago. It's magnificent. I
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: don't know what would happened. It's also got half apartments
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: of the Spectacle. I don't know what happened. But it's
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: up for sale. This company wants out. You can buy it.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: It's up for sale right now. The Rolling Stones. Who
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: would you think was the biggest sex maniac of the
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Rolling Stones? No, it's not Mick Jagger, not even close.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Isn't that funny? It was Bill Wyman, Bill Wyman, out
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: of all those Nah, it wasn't Keith Richards either. It
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: was this Bill Wyman who had this thing, and the
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: Jagger and the others talked about it in a new
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: book that from day one, from the beginning, this Bill
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Wyman had to sleep with every woman on earth. A
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: lot of guys do this. Before a show. They look
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: out through the curtain, they look out through a little people,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: they look at the audience, they see any women they like,
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: they send a couple of guys out there to get
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: the women and bring him backstage. This happens all the time.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: This is perfectly. Every celebrity does that. But with Wyman,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: he'd get two or three or four every night, sleep
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: with them, and he'd keep a journal of all the
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: women he slept with. Every woman her name, you know,
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: little notes about that night. It got up to eighteen
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: hundred names. This is years ago. It got up to
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: eighteen hundred and he stopped counting. He just got sick
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: of it. After eighteen hundred. He was the oldest rolling
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Stone too, and he was the only married rolling Stone.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Yet when he joined the band, he just let loosen
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: became the craziest of all of them. Jagger was not
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: really like that, and believe or not. Keith Richard, very
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: romantic type. If he was with a woman, he would
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: pretty much be loyal and he could count them all
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: on his fingers. Nothing like the eighteen hundred of Bill Wyman.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: A lot of stuff coming out about the Stones right
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: now because they got this new album out, which everybody
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: loves pretty good. Also, Jagger doing an interview where they
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: asked him about Bruce Springsteen who takes to the stage
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: in the middle of two songs will do a twenty
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: minute tirade yelling and screaming and cursing about Trump. Jagger said,
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: it's just awful. He likes Bruce Springsteen, but he said
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: that's the last thing you want to do. And Jagger,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: this is the most common sense thing in the world.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: He said. It costs a lot of money to come
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: see a concert, and people are there to have a
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: good time and be entertained. They don't need a lecture,
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: even if they agree with you. They're there to be entertained,
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: forget their troubles, enjoy themselves. They're not there to get
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: all riled up over politics. He said Springsteen is crazy
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: to be doing that stuff. Good for Mick Jagger, Hey,
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three two
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Here's more marks alone on seven ten wor.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Well, let's take some calls. Hey, let's get some new
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: callers too. We always like to hear from our new callers.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Let's go
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: to Jeff in Manhattan. Jeff, how you doing good?
• 51:54
  Speaker 11: Walk?
• 51:55
  Speaker 14: You brought up brocannor before? Yeah, I got three quick
• 51:58
  Speaker 14: comments about him. First of all, you know they used
• 52:01
  Speaker 14: to say the most dangerous place you could be is
• 52:03
  Speaker 14: between schuma.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: And a camera.
• 52:05
  Speaker 14: Well that's now Rokanna.
• 52:06
  Speaker 11: That's number one.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: Number two.
• 52:09
  Speaker 14: A lot of good people lost their careers because they
• 52:12
  Speaker 14: were tangentially connected to Epstein. This guy Rocanna was in
• 52:17
  Speaker 14: the same northern California area of Swawell.
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: His friend.
• 52:20
  Speaker 14: He knew exactly what was going on, and he didn't
• 52:23
  Speaker 14: say anything. Then how does he rehabilitate himself? He goes
• 52:26
  Speaker 14: with that Nazi guy from Maine. So if he probably
• 52:30
  Speaker 14: wants to run for president, but these things are a forfeit.
• 52:32
  Speaker 14: And then he talked about he went to Israel. He
• 52:35
  Speaker 14: has no credibility on Israel because any neutral person would
• 52:39
  Speaker 14: not support a candidate that had twenty years of a
• 52:42
  Speaker 14: Nazi death camp tattoo on his chest.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he was not there in Israel too do
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: anything good for Israel. He was there to be anti
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Semitic while in Israel.
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: Right, but he.
• 52:54
  Speaker 14: Cannot be taken seriously as I don't.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Think anybody I don't think anybody's taking him a seriously
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: outside of that fake news crowd. Let's go to Jack
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey. Jack, how you doing.
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: I'm doing fine, Mark, how good? Good? A couple of
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: questions for you.
• 53:10
  Speaker 11: What is going on with Doge?
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: Is that our department still in existence because it's doing anything?
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Or well the Elon Musk Doge now that got shut down,
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: but they're still doging. There's a little Doge. It's more
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Vice President Vance in charge of it now he's overseeing it. Right,
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: They're doing the same kind of stuff, but quietly slower,
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: quieter than Musk is doing it. They're kind of trying
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: to do it under the radar. But it's still going on.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: They're still making cuts all the time.
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Part of the problem also was Obama stuck in in
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: every department of the cabinets, stuck in a couple thousand
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: of his operatives. They're going to clean those guys out too.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: Not only are they bad partisans, but useless don't need them,
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: So the doge effort continues. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 53:58
  Speaker 11: Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike, I just wanted to jog
• 54:02
  Speaker 11: you remember where you mentioned Home Run Derby should be
• 54:04
  Speaker 11: its own sport. It was a TV show, as you
• 54:07
  Speaker 11: may remember, in like the early sixties, maybe nineteen sixty,
• 54:11
  Speaker 11: and it was you know, they had all the great
• 54:13
  Speaker 11: home run hereers of the year, Yeah, Banks and.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I forgot about that. They did it as a
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: it was like on a weekend TV show. They're on YouTube,
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: you know, you can go watch them. It's pretty amazing.
• 54:27
  Speaker 11: Yes, I used to have the I used to have
• 54:29
  Speaker 11: the DVD and it was just fascinating to watch. I mean,
• 54:32
  Speaker 11: it was just just to see the disciplines between players
• 54:35
  Speaker 11: then and players now. How in those those days, these
• 54:38
  Speaker 11: guys was like quiet. They didn't know how to act
• 54:40
  Speaker 11: in front of a camera. Now these guys are all
• 54:42
  Speaker 11: like movie stars and they're like, you know, they've grown
• 54:44
  Speaker 11: up with cameras around them. But back then, Mickey Mantle,
• 54:47
  Speaker 11: you know this guy from Oklahoma. Yeah, he's pretty good,
• 54:50
  Speaker 11: you know. It was the pork host would like try
• 54:52
  Speaker 11: to get words out of these guys, and none of
• 54:55
  Speaker 11: them were.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Very Was it actually called home run Derby I'm trying
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: to remember.
• 54:59
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, it was called Homer Derby and it was done.
• 55:02
  Speaker 11: They shot it out in LA at the LA version
• 55:05
  Speaker 11: of Wrigley Field. There was a Wriggly Field out in
• 55:07
  Speaker 11: la as well as there was in Chicago back in
• 55:09
  Speaker 11: the day.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're on YouTube flight the year. Yeah, but there's
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: enough of them on YouTube, and it's really unbelievable. It's
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: mel Allen, right and somebody else.
• 55:19
  Speaker 11: No, it was another It was a local guy. I
• 55:22
  Speaker 11: can't remember his name, but he was.
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: Yes, so local guy.
• 55:26
  Speaker 11: ESPN brought it back like in the eighties or nineties
• 55:29
  Speaker 11: and Melo they may have those guys may mail Allen
• 55:31
  Speaker 11: and those types may have.
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: No, I'm thinking the original commentary thought.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Because original, because they were originally he'll say, well, we
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: got our two players here, Uh, Mickey Mantle and Willie
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: may saylo guys, and they would and then they each
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: take turns. Yeah, black and white, phenomenal to watch, uh YouTube.
• 55:48
  Speaker 11: And then they would sit next to him, well the
• 55:49
  Speaker 11: other guy bad it. They would talk and comment on
• 55:52
  Speaker 11: them as much as the look. You know, they weren't
• 55:54
  Speaker 11: very loquacious, as I said.
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: So it was.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Now you're a big Johnny Carson fan, right.
• 56:00
  Speaker 11: Big, big, big, big yes. Looking forward to your interview
• 56:04
  Speaker 11: with Mark there.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got Mark Malcoff coming up. He's the Johnny
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Carson expert of the world. He wrote the definitive book
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: on him. It just came out last year. What do
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: you want me to ask him about Johnny Carson? Anything
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: you've always wondered? Geez?
• 56:16
  Speaker 11: Oh boy, well, I always liked the episode. Where was
• 56:21
  Speaker 11: it Dean Martin was flicking?
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: Who was it? Was?
• 56:23
  Speaker 11: Flipping his ashes? And George and what's his name, George
• 56:28
  Speaker 11: Goebels drink?
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: I mean it was.
• 56:30
  Speaker 11: Causing in on that was that pre planned? It was
• 56:33
  Speaker 11: Martin's Okay.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: No, he would do that in real life. That was
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: Dean Martin. He and Jerry Lewis would would always do
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: pranks on everybody. They would light your shoes on fire.
• 56:43
  Speaker 11: All that stuff, and it was It's Robin and the
• 56:48
  Speaker 11: Seven Hoods. Was on TCM for it, you know, the
• 56:50
  Speaker 11: other like two days ago, and and you know, Martin
• 56:53
  Speaker 11: just seemed like he was cake walking through that whole
• 56:55
  Speaker 11: That whole movie was just like, Dean, can you get
• 56:58
  Speaker 11: into it a little bit?
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Mike, great call, Thanks for calling. That
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: was the I think that was the last rat Pack
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: film Robin in the Seven Hoods. In fact, the cemetery
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: scene Peter Falk and Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin Sammy
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Davis is the scene where they're at the cemetery for
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: the funeral, And it was they were filming that scene
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: when a guy ran in right in the middle of
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: the shooting, stopped the whole production, and he said, President
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Kennedy has just been shot. And Sinatra had quite a
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: relationship with John F. Kennedy. So he just ran from
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: the set, went home to Palm Springs. Nobody saw him
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: for a week. He just didn't come out. He was
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: so shaken up by the death of jfk. So, yeah,
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: we'll talk to we'll talk to the Johnny Carson expert
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: coming up next. We've got lots to talk to him about.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: And also we'll get to get back to Lindsey Graham.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: The replacement word is that President Trump wants Lindsay Graham's
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: sister to be the replacement. The replacement candidate would serve
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: out the term till January, and that's very important because
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: you need those votes. You know, you got a big
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: other problem is Mitch McConnell very very, very bad health,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: and you can't afford to lose him. Now, some people
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: are saying there's a number of people in Congress, Republican
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: Congress people that could be appointed to Lindsay Graham seat.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: Can't do that because the Republican majority in Congress is
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: so tight, so slim. You can't pull anybody out of
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: there right now. So that's a big problem. But anyway,
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: we'll talk about Johnny Carson in a moment. There's a
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: great new book out, the best ever written about Carson,
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: and we'll get to that coming up next on seven
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: to ten.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: W Mark Simon Show, Live from the wr Life Back Studio.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Well, Johnny Carson probably the greatest name in the history
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: of television. Now, I was the Johnny Carson expert of
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: the world. I knew everything. But then I started listening
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: to this thing called the Carson Podcast. Mark Malkoff did it.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: He had like four hundred guests. Everybody was ever on
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: the Tonight Show. By the time I listened to that,
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: I knew. I learned fifteen thousand things I never knew before.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: The podcast, The Carson Podcast. You could still listen to it,
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: it's online. The Carson Podcast was so successful he then
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: got Mark Malkoff, got this big book deal. And the
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: book is the definitive ultimate book about Johnny Carson, the
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: best book ever written about him. It's called Love Johnny Carson.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: The book is out. Go to Amazon. You can order
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: it there wherever you get books. But just go to
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Amazon order the book Love Johnny Carson, by Mark Malcoff.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: You'll be amazed. You'll love it. The author is with
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: us now, Mark Malkoff, how you doing.
• 59:48
  Speaker 13: I'm doing fantastic. Thanks for having me back, Mark.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: And how's the book doing. It's been about a year now,
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: right that it's been out.
• 59:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's been about a little bit more than six months,
• 59:58
  Speaker 13: you can believe it. And yeah, he was a Today
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 13: best selling books. I've heard from people just all over
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 13: the country that just missed Johnny Carson, and the book
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 13: brings people back. I talked to over four hundred people,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 13: and I mean, you knew Johnny Carson, so just to
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 13: be able to talk to someone like yourself and get
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 13: these inside stories, I thought, this is the first book
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 13: that really chronicled who Carson was from the people that
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 13: knew him.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, in the book and the podcast, you interviewed
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: those closest to him, the producers, the directors, the writers,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: his close friends, all of that, the real Johnny Carson.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: You know, they thought of him as cold and aloof
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: but that was when he was at work. He was
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: a warm guy outside of that. But the real Johnny
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: Carson still kind of a mystery, right. Nobody's ever figured
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: out one hundred percent, have they.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 13: Not one hundred percent? I mean he definitely, you know,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 13: had some mother issues and he would open up to
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 13: his friends, but only to an extent, you know. I
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 13: mean he had this Midwestern upbringing. You didn't really show
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 13: your feelings. His brother Dick Carson, who who was the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 13: Tonight Show director in New York said, you know, we
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 13: weren't Italian, We didn't No one ever really said what
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 13: they were thinking in their family.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Now, Johnny Carson and a lot of people watch him
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: that Midwestern that aw shucks, kind of sweet Midwestern. But
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: he was a tough guy when he needed to be
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: ambitious tough, right, tell.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 13: Us about that, well, I think anybody that has longevity,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 13: I mean, this is a man for thirty years that
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 13: stayed number one, is going to be a competitive guy.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 13: I mean he was in bed watching his show every
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 13: night like a football coach taking notes. He was watching
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 13: the guest host, he was in watching his competition. I mean,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 13: in nineteen seventy one, he had four TVs going on
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 13: at once in his home at the un Plaza. He's
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 13: watching his Dick habit, He's watching his own show, he's
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 13: watching David Frost, He's watching either merv or Joey Bishop.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 13: But yeah, I mean he was. There was nobody that
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 13: was more competitive. I mean he pays himself like a
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 13: prize fighter. I mean he would just show up maybe
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 13: two hours before work. He'd didn't work in all day,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 13: but he wanted to conserve his energy for that ninety minutes.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 13: I mean originally an hour, forty five minutes, then ninety minutes,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 13: and I mean he would be exhausted by that, and
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 13: it would every ounce of his being would be used
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 13: on that show.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: See here's the thing as long as I've been in broadcast,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: always tell you, you know, you should listen to your show,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: like I should take this show today and then listen
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: to it and go over it and study it and
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: make improvement. You're supposed to do that. Every day. I've
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: done that. The total is zero times. Never do that.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: It's tough because as soon as you start playing, oh god,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: it sounds awful, you can't. But he would do that, right,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: That's how you really get to be hen.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 13: I think it's definitely a blessing and occurs. I mean
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 13: he was obsessed. I mean David Letterman, who modeled his
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 13: career after his hero Johnny Carson. The first thing Dave,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 13: because I worked for Dave, the first thing Dave would
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 13: do after the tape and is go to his office
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 13: and he'd be given a copy of the show that
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 13: they just taped, and Dave would watch every second of
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 13: his broadcast. And I mean it, I do not think
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 13: that that is overall a positive thing. But Johnny was obsessed.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 13: He would tell a journalist, he would say, you just
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 13: you you know, you're number one, and you just start
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 13: coasting and then you before you know it, somebody knocks
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 13: you off. I mean we all know this that people
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 13: tried to take this guy on, and you know, nobody
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 13: could make a dent. I mean, there was nobody that
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 13: was more competitive than carterson. Even someone like Tom Snyder,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 13: you would never think would be Carson would be like,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 13: this guy's a thread. I mean, Johnny really kept Snyder
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 13: an arm leg arm's leg had to you know, he
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 13: was so powerful. I mean it was twenty percent of
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 13: NBC's profits at one point that every Tom Snyder guess
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 13: Johnny had to approve. You know, even David Letterman, who
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 13: followed Carson. Carson produced. Johnny had to give John gave
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 13: Dave Letterman all these rules that he thought would hinder Dave.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 13: No monologue. You have to have a band that's four
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 13: people or last, you can't have a sidekick that sits
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 13: on the couch, all these things to keep his competition down.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: Well it worked, Yeah, Uh, it did work, But.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 13: There was nobody more generous. At the same time, you know,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 13: all these people that were unknowns go on a show
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 13: and immediately within a couple of weeks they're back. Joan
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 13: Rivers went back within two weeks. It blew up. Burt
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 13: Reynold's life change going on carsonce Reynolds says to this
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 13: is that before he left this earth that Johnny Carson
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 13: was the biggest break of his career. He loved him,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 13: Bett Middler, unknown and as she's suddenly a superstar. So
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 13: the guy's generosity, I mean, there's nobody in TV that
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 13: was more generous than that guy.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: The strange thing was he would always have unknown comics
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: on and as a result, he discovered Joan Rivers, he
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: discovered he can name it a one thousand comedians. He
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: discovered why when Jane Leno took over a stand up
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: comic himself, why did he stop that tradition?
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 13: Jay is first of all, it gave me fifty minutes
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 13: for the book when we talked about this. The ratings, unfortunately,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 13: for both music and comedians, they go down. According to
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 13: NB research, the reason music is always at the very
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 13: end of those late night shows is because the ratings
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 13: are down. At one point, Saturday Night Live try to
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 13: convince Lord Michael's to get rid of the music as
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 13: because music was the ratings were going down, and Jay
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 13: was a company guy. You know, Johnny basically did NBC
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 13: did whatever Johnny wanted, and Johnny said, no, I love comedians.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 13: I am going to launch comedians. And even though Jay
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 13: Leno was one of those comedians Johnny launched. When Jay
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 13: got the Tonight Show as a company man, he would
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 13: look at every rating for every minute, and he saw
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 13: the stand ups were going down in the ratings and
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 13: suddenly this guy who was a stand up himself, Yeah,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 13: they were almost never on his show. And it was really,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 13: really tough I think for the comedians in Leno's peers
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 13: to see that he would do that and kind of,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 13: you know, sell out his community more or less for
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 13: a few ratings points.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Wow, we're talking Mark Malcoff. The book. Get the book.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: It's called Love Johnny Carson. Best book ever written on
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: Johnny Carson's called Love Johnny Carson. Go order it on Amazon.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: So favorite guests, Carson guests. Everybody's got their own list.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: Mine would start with Don Rickles, Rodney desk Yield. Who
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: would you put on your list?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 13: I mean, I think that those two were amazing. I
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 13: think Buddy Hackett was just an unbelievable All those three,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 13: Johnny would throw out the pre interview. Charles Grodin was
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 13: another person that Johnny out of three people wanted to
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 13: be exclusively on a contract that they would only do
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 13: Johnny Show. Charles Grody would go on this show and
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 13: just make fun of Johnny, and people in America thought
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 13: it was real that this guy was insulting their hero
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 13: Johnny Carson and Johnny got such a kick out of it.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 13: They would get letters, why would you have this guy
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 13: Charles Groden? He's so rude and mean. But Carson loved
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 13: every second. And you know, I got to go to
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 13: Connecticut twice to spend time with Charles Groden, and it
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 13: was just a highlight of his life going on with Carson.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 13: And in retirement they had a dinner, lunch rather and
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 13: Los Angeles and these people got so emotional. Mark talking
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 13: to me, his tears in their eyes. I mean sign
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 13: felt to this day with his hundreds of million, billions
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 13: billions of dollars, says going on Carson was the biggest
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 13: moment of his career, the last Seinfeld tape, and Johnny
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 13: sent a note to Jerry's dressing room congratulated in him.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 13: And those are the things that Jerry to this day
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 13: will say, was that still that the top accomplishment and
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 13: the stuff that meant the most was Carson's approval.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Well that what guess he hated do He never wanted back.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: Who are some of those.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 13: Some of the people he didn't like is if they
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 13: would go on and they were ride to his staff.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 13: He did not like Jerry Lewis because Jerry Lewis yelled
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 13: at his Q card person. People that had bad manners
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 13: he had no tolerance for. And he you know, Danny Thomas,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 13: unfortunately with all the good he did, was seeing shoot
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 13: said some inappropriate stuff in one of Carson's secretaries and
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 13: it got back to Carson and he was banned. So
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 13: anybody that went into one of those things with bad behaviors,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 13: if anyone was on a substance and it really affected
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 13: their performance and they were off their game, like Sam Kinnison,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 13: they were never allowed back. Kennison was always was unfortunately inebriated,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 13: and that he could. They had edit part of his
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 13: appearance because he was so out of it and you
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 13: were not going to come back if that was the
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 13: thing of that was the case. He just despised bad manners.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 13: And then if anybody in their personal life, like Joan Rivers,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 13: he felt betrayed him. And you know, a really go
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 13: We go into the in the book, there's really deep
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 13: dive on what actually happened. I mean, Johnny got hurt more,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 13: very easily, more than a normal person. He was devastated
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 13: with Joan Rivers, and we go into what actually happened,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 13: and it was very different from this Rivers account.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we love Joan Rivers, but she really do She
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: really did betray him. Despite her version of it.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 13: Her her own friend said that that she owed Johnny
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 13: that you need to tell him. Barry Diller, who was
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 13: the head of Fox, I sat down with him in
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 13: New York. He said, she just said, you have to
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 13: tell Johnny. You're going to be competing against him. I'm
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 13: in a poker game with him and friends with Jenny.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 13: You need to tell him that. She didn't, And there
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 13: was more to it. I mean, Joan tried to take
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 13: Johnny's producer, Peter Less Sally. Every talent coordinator was offer
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 13: double their sally ready to go with Joan, and Johnny
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 13: just could not believe that this person who he really
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 13: did care about would do that to him. And when
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 13: he found out about it, because Joan, he tried to
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 13: get hold of Joan all weekend as she wouldn't take
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 13: his calls. When he finally found out, he started crying.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 13: According to somebody who knew Johnny, and he was really
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 13: really devastated, and once somebody hurt him, he was so sensitive.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 13: The relationship, unfortunately was over.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so hey, we all remember the final night he
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: goes off here. Yeah, that was thirty four years ago.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: People can't believe that it's thirty four years of that.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: And Mark Melcoffe, you're a young guy. You don't really
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: remember the early Johnny Carson, do you. You weren't around then.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 13: I was sixteen when he went off the air, So
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 13: I have my dad to tell me back going to
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 13: the show in nineteen sixty eight. He went to six
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 13: B which is now Jimmy Fallon, and he got to
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 13: see everyone from Barbara McNair to Doug McClure, to David
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 13: Fry to his Nixon. So my dad's memories of going
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 13: to see Johnny in New York were unbelieable. Unfortunately, the
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 13: first ten years NBC erased almost everything, and Johnny, you know,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 13: was devastated, but thankfully with the Burbank years, but the
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 13: New York years were endlessly fascinating.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was actually the best period of Carson. So yeah,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: the book is called Love Johnny Carson. We want you
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: to go to Amazon and order it. Because I knew
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: everything you can know about Johnny Carson. Then I get
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: this book. There's like fifteen thousand things I didn't know,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: so you'll learn everything in the world about Carson. And
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: it's such a well written book. It's called Love Johnny Carson.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: Go to Amazon and get it.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: Now, tonight we're having dinner with Jimmy Fayla because he's
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: a huge Carson fan and he loves your book. So
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: that'll be aw that's so nice. Yeah, that's it means
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: a lot to mean. I'm looking forward to that. Yeah,

  Speaker 2: it's going to be a good time for sure.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: Our boss here, Tom Cutty, has arranged to take us
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: to dinner and Jimmy Fayla. He's the closest thing to
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: Carson right now in television because on Saturday Night he
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: opens with a long monologue that's fifty to fifty. He
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: makes fun of Democrats Republicans, which is what Carson did, right,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: And you don't see that anymore, do.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 13: You, That's right? I mean, Jimmy, Yeah, does a phenomenal
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 13: job he models at after Carson, which I really really loved.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 13: But yet we never knew Johnny's politics. I mean he
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 13: he you know, definitely was friends with George Herbert Walker
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 13: Bush and he really got a kick out of one another.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 13: Johnny did stay over at the White House and they
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 13: actually talked when Bush was on from Air Force One
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 13: and they got a kick out of it. So, I mean,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 13: he did have Bill Clinton on as well when Clinton,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 13: you know, was a you know at the DNC when
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 13: he fell on his face and everyone thought Clinton's life
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 13: was over. And he played saxophone well before our sineo.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 13: Everybody thinks Clinton went on our sineo it is you know,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 13: that was the first time he ever did it, But
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 13: it was Johnny that made that happen the first time
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 13: back in nineteen eighty eight. So yeah, Johnny, we just
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 13: never knew was politics. And there was definitely something really
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 13: refreshing about that he was. He hammered everybody equally, but
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 13: at the end of the day, you knew this guy
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 13: was just you know, they were jokes.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's a great book. I'll see you tonight,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: Mark Malcoff.
• 1:12:03

• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: Simon on wor.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: The loss of Lindsey Graham a great shock and a
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: very close ally friend confidante of President Trump. Big loss
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: in the Senate for Trump. And you can replace him
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: with a Republican and you don't lose the vote. But
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: he was more than just a vote. He was the
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: guy who could run around the Senate and get things
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: done on behalf of President Trump, even if you needed
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: to win over some Democrats. It was something Lindsey Graham
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: was good at. He was from that old school, that
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: old Tip O'Neill era, where Democrats Republicans would be friends.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: You'd go to lunch together, you'd have drinks after work,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: you could work with each other. So a big loss.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: Who will replace him? President Trump wants Lindsey Graham's sister
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: to replace him, and it's up to the governor of
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: South Carolina. I'm a master close ally of President Trump,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: so maybe maybe that will happen. We'll have more on
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: it for you tomorrow. I'll be back tomorrow. Every weekday
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: ten to noon, so I'll see you then here on
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: seven to ten.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 14: W like
