  Speaker 1: Some health insurance providers in Ireland waste your time with
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: slow claim refunds at Level Health. We're fed up with
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: all the wasting around. We think it's about time your
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: claims were paid back quickly via Revolute Level Health. It's
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: about time insurance provided by Aviva Insurance Ireland doc level
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Health delimited trading as Level Health is regulated by the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Central Bank of Ireland.

  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning entertaining and informative on
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the Red Apple podcast network.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, said Hi, Oh God, don't be sorry.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: You kidding me.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: I'm wrapped up in these meetings on peace and I said,
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: it's between peace and Sid Rosenberger said, let's say Rosenberger.
• 0:42
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 0:44
  Speaker 7: Attensions are still flaring between Mayor mom Donnie and one
• 0:47
  Speaker 7: of the city's top business.
• 0:48
  Speaker 8: Leadershry Fox Eye Morgan Mackay here now with more on
• 0:50
  Speaker 8: the rift between the mayor and Citadel CEO Ken Griffin.
• 0:53
  Speaker 9: Hey Stem Natasha So Mayor Zora mom Donnie's video targeting
• 0:56
  Speaker 9: Citadel CEO Ken Griffin is still making waves in the
• 1:00
  Speaker 9: business community, and sources tell us that Griffin wants a
• 1:03
  Speaker 9: public apology from the mayor. Meanwhile, Council speaker Julie Mennon
• 1:07
  Speaker 9: says that she did reach out to Griffin on her own.
• 1:10
  Speaker 9: It was this video right here where Mom Donnie stood
• 1:13
  Speaker 9: outside Griffin's home and used him as an example for
• 1:16
  Speaker 9: what type of properties would be targeted by Governor Hogles
• 1:19
  Speaker 9: Pieta tear tax. But Griffin punched back, calling the video weird, creepy,
• 1:24
  Speaker 9: and even dangerous, and has threatened to pull jobs away
• 1:27
  Speaker 9: from the city and move them to Miami. We asked
• 1:30
  Speaker 9: Mom Donnie recently if he has spoken with Griffin, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 9: he said no, but he did thank Griffin for his
• 1:35
  Speaker 9: contributions to the city. But sources tell us privately that
• 1:38
  Speaker 9: Mom Donnie has tried to connect with Griffin, but with
• 1:41
  Speaker 9: no luck. However, Council speaker Julie Mennon says that she
• 1:44
  Speaker 9: did speak with Griffin after the video and said the
• 1:46
  Speaker 9: mayor's rhetoric in that video was not productive.
• 1:49
  Speaker 10: And I don't think ad hammin and personal attacks are productive.
• 1:53
  Speaker 10: I just don't think that's a path forward. I think
• 1:55
  Speaker 10: right now we leave a situation where the city has
• 1:57
  Speaker 10: lost twenty seven thousand jobs compared to the one hundred and
• 2:01
  Speaker 10: ninety thousand the city has gained each of the prior
• 2:03
  Speaker 10: four years. This is a real crisis. I reached out
• 2:06
  Speaker 10: to him to indicate that those jobs are important to
• 2:09
  Speaker 10: New York City, and so that was really the message
• 2:11
  Speaker 10: that I gave, and that's really what I think we
• 2:13
  Speaker 10: need to focus on moving forward now.
• 2:15
  Speaker 9: Mom Donnie has also still not hired someone to lead
• 2:18
  Speaker 9: the Economic Development Corporation, one of the most important city
• 2:21
  Speaker 9: agencies focused on job growth, and it's more than four
• 2:24
  Speaker 9: months into his term. But mom Donnie has met with
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: several prominent business leaders in recent weeks, including the president
• 2:30
  Speaker 9: and the CEO of Chabani and the president of Blackstone.
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: Stephen Fullup, the president of the Partnership for New York,
• 2:36
  Speaker 9: which is a lobbying and an advocacy group for the
• 2:38
  Speaker 9: city's top businesses, says that some business leaders are frustrated
• 2:42
  Speaker 9: by the messaging coming from City Hall.
• 2:44
  Speaker 11: Any time that you're signaling somebody out and you are
• 2:49
  Speaker 11: calling them out by name and showing their home, it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 11: not helpful. I do think that acknowledgment that the video
• 2:57
  Speaker 11: was probably not the best approach to highlight what he
• 3:01
  Speaker 11: wanted to would be a wise thing to do. I
• 3:04
  Speaker 11: think it would be a strong stale to the business
• 3:05
  Speaker 11: community that you recognize that you know we're in an
• 3:09
  Speaker 11: environment that you know, increasing polarization is not helpful.
• 3:13
  Speaker 9: Now, we did reach out to the Mayor's office for
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: a statement, but they referred as to his past comments.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Do you know Ken Griffin, mister President, I do.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I figured you did, because he's a very successful man,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: a great man, just like you. And he wants to
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: do a six billion dollar project right here on Park Avenue.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: And who does Park Avenue more than you? And you've
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: got the mayor, this guy outside of his residence, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: he does a whole film and Ken Griffin goes above
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and beyond the fact that he just humiliated me. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I'm a billionaire looking to spend money in New York City.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: It's unsafe. He's doing a video from the front of
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: where I live. And now Ken Griffin is thinking about
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: taking that six billion dollar project for a city, President Trump,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: that's five point four billion in debt and taking that
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: to Miami. How does that make sense?
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: I do know.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: And Ken's an amazing businessmen, one of the best, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: you don't want to lose people. He also pays a
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: lot of taxes like me, we pay a lot of taxes.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: And you know what, when you lose, When you lose
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: people like that, it's sort of not recoverable. I always
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: just say something's recoverable, right, but it's not recoverable. Then
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: they build something else. They're going to be there for
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: thirty years, they don't come back, and you just you've
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: got to do the opposite. You've got to cherish them.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: You've got to bring them to the office, you've got
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: to meet them, you have to have dinner with him.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: You have to convince them not to leave. You're going
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: to make their life great. You're going to help them
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: with their building, with their project. You got to do it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: And I don't know, it's not hard to do, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: maybe it is for some people. But you don't want
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: to lose people like Ken. That would be a big
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: loss for New York.
• 4:48
  Speaker 12: On Tuesday, I asked Mayor mom Donnie's office, why does
• 4:51
  Speaker 12: his wife appear to have a Spotify account with songs
• 4:53
  Speaker 12: about greedy Jews and how Israel going to die?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Bitch?
• 4:57
  Speaker 12: By Wednesday, the account was totally shut, one hundred percent private.
• 5:02
  Speaker 12: And this was just one of the things I found
• 5:03
  Speaker 12: after more than a month of following every possible lead
• 5:06
  Speaker 12: about who is Ramaduaji and what does she actually believe.
• 5:10
  Speaker 12: The first thing I learned through interviews and her digital
• 5:13
  Speaker 12: footprint is that anti Israel politics are really the glue
• 5:17
  Speaker 12: of her social circle. It's the philosophy of her favorite bookstore,
• 5:20
  Speaker 12: which Boycott's Israeli products. Also, when she went to Paris
• 5:25
  Speaker 12: Fashion Week last fall, and that is despite making about
• 5:28
  Speaker 12: ten thousand dollars last year according to tax filings, she
• 5:31
  Speaker 12: popped over to London, where even the vintage market she
• 5:34
  Speaker 12: went to was all about Palestinian solidarity and opposition to
• 5:38
  Speaker 12: the Jewish state. Her closest friends seemed to share these values.
• 5:42
  Speaker 12: One of her best friends posted an image of them
• 5:45
  Speaker 12: that shows them at an anti Israel rally in the
• 5:47
  Speaker 12: aftermath of October seventh. But this is such a strong
• 5:51
  Speaker 12: value for Rama it even cuts across party lines, because
• 5:54
  Speaker 12: I discovered she's liked posts from Tucker Carlson. And then
• 5:57
  Speaker 12: there's a Spotify account I found that seems to belonged
• 6:00
  Speaker 12: to her. And there were two playlists that were made
• 6:03
  Speaker 12: in the months after October seventh. One was called Hungary
• 6:06
  Speaker 12: but Sexy for Palestine, and it had songs like Amrica
• 6:10
  Speaker 12: that's with three ks kkk Intifada and a song in
• 6:14
  Speaker 12: Arabic that translates to I Hate Israel. The mayor's office
• 6:17
  Speaker 12: declined to comment for this story. But the First Lady's
• 6:20
  Speaker 12: digital footprint has been a scandal for months now, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 12: all that they've really said is that she's a private person.
• 6:27
  Speaker 12: So then my question is who answers for the First
• 6:31
  Speaker 12: Lady's apparent Spotify account full of Jew and Israel hating lyrics.
• 6:36
  Speaker 12: This is all reporting that I did for the Free Press.
• 6:39
  Speaker 12: It's out today at VFP dot com.
• 6:42
  Speaker 13: We begin with the breaking news right here in Beijing,
• 6:45
  Speaker 13: President Trump's mission to China, his high stake summit with
• 6:48
  Speaker 13: President She. The two leaders about to meet for a
• 6:51
  Speaker 13: second round of talks. Here President Trump welcomed by President
• 6:54
  Speaker 13: She with an elaborate ceremony at the Great Hall of
• 6:57
  Speaker 13: the People. President Trump using flattery, calling President She a
• 7:01
  Speaker 13: great leader. Here behind the scenes, the summit taking a
• 7:04
  Speaker 13: serious turn. President Trump focusing on the war in Iran,
• 7:07
  Speaker 13: asking China for help with its ally Iran. The US,
• 7:10
  Speaker 13: hoping China could put pressure on Iran to reopen the
• 7:13
  Speaker 13: Strait of hor moves. President She delivering his own message
• 7:17
  Speaker 13: here a sharp warning to the US about Taiwan. ABC's
• 7:21
  Speaker 13: Mary Bruce here in Beijing leading us.
• 7:23
  Speaker 14: Off China, giving President Trump the kind of spectacle he loves,
• 7:31
  Speaker 14: elaborate military displays, children jumping and cheering, the full power
• 7:39
  Speaker 14: of the Chinese state on display. As the American delegation
• 7:42
  Speaker 14: filed into the Great Hall of the People, Secretary of
• 7:45
  Speaker 14: State Marco Rubio marveling at the ornate ceiling, cameras jostling
• 7:50
  Speaker 14: to get the shot as Trump and Chinese President Shijingping
• 7:53
  Speaker 14: entered the room, Trump lavishing praise on his host, calling
• 7:57
  Speaker 14: she a friend, celebrating their quote fantastic relationship, such respect
• 8:02
  Speaker 14: for China.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: At the job you've done.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: You're a great leader. I say it to everybody. You're
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: a great leader.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: it anyway because it's true.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: She a different, more formal tone song.
• 8:15
  Speaker 14: When our two sides cooperate, both benefit, he said. When
• 8:20
  Speaker 14: we confront each other, both suffer. China and the United
• 8:23
  Speaker 14: States should be partners instead of rivals. Trump brought with
• 8:27
  Speaker 14: him the nations leading CEOs, hoping to forge new ties
• 8:30
  Speaker 14: on trade and technology, but according to Chinese state media,
• 8:34
  Speaker 14: behind closed doors, She delivered a stark warning to the
• 8:37
  Speaker 14: American president do not interfere in China's efforts to take
• 8:42
  Speaker 14: over Taiwan, threatening if handled poorly, the two countries will
• 8:46
  Speaker 14: clash or even come into conflict, pushing the entire US
• 8:49
  Speaker 14: China relationship into a very dangerous situation. Taiwan is an
• 8:54
  Speaker 14: independent democracy, but China says it belongs to them, threatening
• 8:58
  Speaker 14: to take it by force if necessary. After the meeting,
• 9:02
  Speaker 14: both men tight lipped, it's great.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Did you talk about Kylite place?
• 9:10
  Speaker 15: Incredible?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: China's beautifully.
• 9:12
  Speaker 14: Trump came to Beijing with his own request that she
• 9:15
  Speaker 14: uses influence over China's close ally Iran to open up
• 9:19
  Speaker 14: the Strait of Horror moves blockaded since Trump launched the
• 9:22
  Speaker 14: war more than ten weeks ago.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: He said, if I can be of any help at all,
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: I would like to be of help.
• 9:28
  Speaker 14: But it's unclear if she agreed to pressure Iran.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: He said he's not going to give military equipment. That's
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: a big savement.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: He said that today, that's a big savement.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Said that strongly.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: But at the same time, he said, you know, they
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: buy a lot of they're oil there, and I'd like.
• 9:42
  Speaker 14: To keep doing that And David. China was out first
• 9:45
  Speaker 14: with its statement that warning about Taiwan. The White House
• 9:48
  Speaker 14: readout came hours later and didn't lay out any specific
• 9:51
  Speaker 14: progress either on trade or Iran, and she has now
• 9:55
  Speaker 14: announced he'll soon be welcoming another big visitor, Vladimir Putin.
• 10:00
  Speaker 13: Vladimir Putin coming here to China next, Mary Bruce leading
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: us off here. Mary, thank you.
• 10:05
  Speaker 16: In a time when silence is everywhere, some voices refuse
• 10:08
  Speaker 16: to stay quiet. Sid Rosenberg has used his platform to
• 10:13
  Speaker 16: speak boldly, stand with Israel, and support the Jewish community
• 10:18
  Speaker 16: when it matters most. At MG's twenty seventh annual dinner,
• 10:23
  Speaker 16: we are proud to honor voices like Sid's join us.
• 10:26
  Speaker 16: May twenty seven.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: It looks like it's over. Summer is here tomorrow. Today
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: is still going to be in the sixties as I
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: make my way tonight to City Field along with Bill
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: O'Reilly and my beautiful son Gabriel, to watch the New
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: York Mets host my team, the New York Yankees. Steve
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Cohen has been just great to me, He really does,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: and we text each other every now and then, and
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: he's aware of why I abandon ship. And if you
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: watched the former Met pitcher Noah Sindigo to listen to
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Nowhere this week. He was on with my friend Tommy
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Laryn on OutKick. He said, look, I was on that
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Met team, and you know who are really big conservatives
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: on that team. Pete Alonzo, he's not here anymore. Brandon Nimmo,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: he's not here anymore. Jacob de Gram, He's not here anymore.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: So while the Mets continue to deny that politics, specifically
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: President Trump, the Mets John Hayman and others to deny
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: that that was part of the motivation behind getting rid
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: of some of these guys. Noah Cindergard, like I said,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: said nah, they were on the team and the Mets
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: didn't love that. But anyway you look at it. I'll
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: be there tonight and Steve Cohen has been really great
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: with me, he really has. Randy Levine is my new
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: best friend, well second to Danielle, but Randy's been just
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: amazing to me. But Steve Cohen came up big and
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: we got a big night ahead of us tonight. But
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: starting tomorrow seventy five and son Sunday, I'll be at
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: the UBS Arena, the home of Lura Fino's new York Islanders,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: but of course there is no Islander hockey. But we've
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: got Sunday is a game that was supposed to take
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: place back during that massive snowstorm, the massive snowstorm that
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: started on that Sunday. That was the day a couple
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: of months ago that I was set to drop the
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: first ceremonial puck at the second annual hockey game at
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: the Ubs between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Bruce Blateman, current
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Nasau County executive, now my choice for governor. He dropped
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the opening puck last year. I've been bestowed the honor
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: this year, and not taking place this Sunday, but not
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: before on what's supposed to be an eighty two degrees
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: sunny day, I will spend at least four hours to
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: my fat Jewish ass on the beach right there Lewis.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: So by the time I get to the arena on Sunday,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: with Saturday and Sunday they both gorgeous, hot sunny days,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I look more like Denzel Washington than a white Jewish
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: kid from Brooklyn, you know what I'm saying. Though, it's
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: a good look, Yeah, it's a good look. I already
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: have a great tan this morning. This is nothing nothing
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: so summer.
• 13:17
  Speaker 17: Is that very dark? Actually very dark already. I don't
• 13:19
  Speaker 17: know that you need to get any dark.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's gonna be much darker. I'm gonna spend the
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: next two days at the.
• 13:23
  Speaker 17: Beach, I know, but I'm just telling you right now. Yeah,
• 13:26
  Speaker 17: I think it's pretty nothing I can do trying.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: To minute bowl. I want my newt bowls color. I
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: think Tuesday is going to be ninety degrees, is that right?
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: So what's gonna happen is after I bitch and complained
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: about the cold weather, trust me, one really hot, humid
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: day and I'll be like, bring back the cold because
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I hate extremes when it comes to weather. I don't
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: like it when it's bone chilling cold, which we had
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: a lot this year. And I don't like it when
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: it's sweltering heat. Hate it. So like tomorrow is going
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: to be perfect seventy five and sonny, once I start
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: seeing mid eighties and ninety, no thanks, how about you know.
• 14:08
  Speaker 17: I'm that way too, Like seventy five eighty, that's perfect,
• 14:11
  Speaker 17: but anything higher, right, it gets nuts.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't like sweating in the morning, like when
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I leave my I shower every morning. I'm big into hygiene.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I dress very nicely. Most days I wear a sports jacket.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: And there are days when I'll leave my house. I've
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: got eight little steps outside my front door, like it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: another fifteen feet after that to the car with Jeane
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: and Lou And if I get in the corn I'm
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: already sweating. That's not a good day. And that may
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: be the case Tuesday. But at any rate, summer is here,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: and I think most of us are happy about that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Before I get into the meat of the day, congratulations,

• 15:54
  Speaker 3: mentioned cousin Brucey, who of course does his legendary show
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: on the weekends. So of all the AM stations across
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: America were number one. Well how about that? No, that's amazing.
• 16:08
  Speaker 17: You know, you and I have been at the station
• 16:10
  Speaker 17: for years, right, I mean I was here for like
• 16:12
  Speaker 17: sixteen years.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Were here before me. I'm only here for ten, yeah,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: going on eleven. I left for a while and then
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I found my way back, right, And well, he didn't leave.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: We forced you to leave, but I got you fired. No, no,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: it was you. But if that told me Bernard told
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: me that it was you.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: That got me.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Well's wrong, and I believe try finding him this morning
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: to confirm me. Yeah, well that's why you're blaming him.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Enjoyed that. Yeah, leave my boy Bernie alone.
• 16:38
  Speaker 17: Okay, Yeah, thank you for bringing that up. By the way, Yeah,
• 16:41
  Speaker 17: I remember Mike, like Juliette Honey and.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: My kids had to wear paper shoes for a while here.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: You know what it's like when when Trump when they
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: took the election from him in twenty twenty, right, and
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: he sat there for four years, and you know when
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: he came back this time around for his second presidency,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: he'd be better than ever. I can make the argument now,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: since you've come back, you're better than ever. All right,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: So you getting fired was actually a blessing, right because
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: you'll get get you were getting a little too what
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: is getting too big? Yeah? Too big? Your ego and
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: all that. I was on for like seven hours a day. No,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: it's a lot. Yeah, it was a little too long. Sure,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: the wait so what we talk about, well, the fact
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: there were number one.
• 17:19
  Speaker 17: Right, So when I was here for all those years,
• 17:22
  Speaker 17: we would lag in like the twenties, twenty.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Third when Jame Bernie first started, we ended up twenty third,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: and we didn't get much higher than that, by the way,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I think fourteen really and now a morning show. I
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: think the highest I got with Bernard was barely cracked
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: the top ten now on number one, but the station
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: twenty three maybe, well, I think when Cats took over
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: now they think about it was in fact we were
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: still in the twenties. Yeah, twenties.
• 17:51
  Speaker 17: Yeah, So you think about that in the short period
• 17:53
  Speaker 17: of time they've only owned the station, what is.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: It four years? Even five years?
• 17:57
  Speaker 15: Five years?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that turnaround is span.
• 18:00
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: You can't make up that story, you really can't. So
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I think in second is KFI. That's that big, booming
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: AM station in Los Angeles. I think there's second. They've
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: got that guy baill Handle there. And you may remember
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: two years ago when Jason Barrett gave me the Radio
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Personality of the Year. This is across the country, folks,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: not just in New York. I was awarded by the
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: industry standard the Radio Personality of the Year. But my
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: morning show didn't win. We lost to this guy Bill
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Handle in Los Angeles. That was two years ago. This
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: year we beat Bill Handle. In fact, Bill Handle ended
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: up in third this year, behind us was Scott Stanford
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: and ten ten wins. So KFI in La is number two,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: and they're also a Marconi finalist. I will tell you
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: third place is a Spanish station. They're out of San Juan.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know who the rest of these are. I
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: don't care. And News Radio seven forty they came in
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: fourth place through a big time Houston station, and running
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: out the top five would be Ordisse's news Radio nine fifty,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: which is in Detroit, So Detroit number five, Houston number four,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: San Juan number three, Los Angeles number two, and here
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: in New York number one. So congratulations to John, Weita, Chad,
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: and of course myself, because without me, you're never even close.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: En Nomore, Let's have an honest conversation. Yeah, when you're
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: ready for that, we'll have an honest conversation, not even close.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Congratulations to you know, oh, thank you. You've done a
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: tremendous job. Yes, after your turnaround. Yeah, wow, Every now
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: and then you need to humble yourself. Well look lookers
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: talking shut up, Look my god, every now and then
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: just a little bit. So what are your thoughts on
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: the We've got a lot of great guests coming on today.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: We'll talk a lot about Shina Brian kill me later
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: on this hour kt mcfallen next hour. I saw it
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: pomp and circumstance like you've never seen. It was really
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: cool watching you know, Elon Muskin, Jensen Wang and all
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: these guys hanging out with Chinese businessmen. It was fun
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: watching Trump speak after g and it hod all again,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: all the pomp and circumstance you could ever want. I'm
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: not sure in terms of actual meat what we got
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: out of this. You know, Gee's like, yeah, i'll get
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: involved with Iran, I'll try to help you. But he
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: didn't really specify how he was going to do that.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: So it seems to me like there was a lot
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: of gesturing, a lot of complimenting, But in terms of
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: actual accomplishments, I'm not sure. What did you see? No, well, look,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: we rely on each other in a huge way.
• 20:51
  Speaker 17: So the fact that the two got along and that
• 20:54
  Speaker 17: she is going to come here in September, I think
• 20:56
  Speaker 17: that's a big deal if you look at like the
• 20:58
  Speaker 17: individual deals. I mean, there was some big moments here.
• 21:00
  Speaker 17: They have that rare earth mineral exports. China agreed to
• 21:04
  Speaker 17: resume exporting the rare rare earth minerals and that's what
• 21:07
  Speaker 17: we use to you know, like make cell phones for
• 21:10
  Speaker 17: defense tech energy production.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: It's a big deal.
• 21:13
  Speaker 17: The other there's a couple other big things that they
• 21:15
  Speaker 17: made a deal on TikTok that they you know, they
• 21:18
  Speaker 17: wanted to transfer transfer it from China to America.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Apparently now this is all signed off on.
• 21:25
  Speaker 17: The beef industry is happy what happened during this summit
• 21:28
  Speaker 17: because Beijing wasn't taking meat from American slaughterhouses.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Some deal that we had with them had ended, I
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: guess back in March.
• 21:36
  Speaker 17: Now those beef companies can resume beef shipments to China.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: So that's a big deal.
• 21:42
  Speaker 17: So there's a lot to take away from what happened
• 21:45
  Speaker 17: in Beijing.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, good, So you're very high on this summit.
• 21:49
  Speaker 17: Look, anytime that two leaders of the two biggest powerhouses
• 21:53
  Speaker 17: in the world meet, have a good time together, and
• 21:55
  Speaker 17: actually have something they can show from the meeting, I
• 21:58
  Speaker 17: think that's a win for both sides.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: You just nailed it. Anytime you can do that with
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: you know, a country that spend an adversary, there's no
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: question about it. You look at our I guess rivals.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I still believe what I said to Gordon Shining last
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: night last week, I should say is true, and that
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: is the three biggest powers in the world today are
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: the United States, China, and Russia. I'm not sure though,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: if there's another superpower outside of US, because China and
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Russia are broke. I don't think you folks understand that
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: they're literally broke. They got nothing, they got no money.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Russia is spending all their money getting their answers kicked
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: by the Ukrainians, and China is in very very bad
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: situations with their economy. It's a very bad situation. So
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: I maintain that we're the only superpower. I'm not saying
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: that China and Russia are not strong countries. They're two
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: and three. But we're the big dog. And anytime, like
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: you said, you can spend a couple of days with
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: one of your adversaries and half active conversations, it's a
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: good thing. I can't I can't think of anything bad
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: about this.
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that if you put on a MS now
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: right now, we're CNN or NPR, any of these lunatics,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: they'll find something bad. But he really catch anything bad
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: about it. So I mean, you know, we can't go
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: get too crazy overrip because again we have to see
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: what China does when it comes to Iran, what real
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: business dealings we end up with. All these things need
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: to come to fruition. But at the very least to
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: your point in Norman, you're right, it's a very good start.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Let me get to the mayor we did play that
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: piece that the mayor, I guess, according to the local reports,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: has tried to reach out to Ken Griffin. And I'm
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: going to say this for Ken. If Ken doesn't feel
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: this way, he can reach out to me whenever he wants.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: I think Ken feels like this mayor is an asshole
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: and wants nothing to do with him. Nothing, because the
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: reports are that Mamdani reached out to him more than
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: once and Ken hasn't, by the way, and they'll deny this,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Mam Donnie's people have reached out to people in an
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: effort to meet with me. Did you know that? No,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I've heard that yet. Oh yeah, And that's not gonna happen.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm in the same boat as Ken Griffin.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Not that I have six billion dollars with six million,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: but I have no desire to meet with the man none.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: There's nothing he's gonna say to me. How much he
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: smiles or shakes my hand, he's not gonna say anything
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: to me that's not going to convince me that he's
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: not a terrible person. And the only person in this
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: city that may be worse than him is his evil, wretched,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: ugly wife. Yeah, I said it. I said it inside
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: and outside. Rama Guaji is disgusting. But Griffin, I don't
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: think he wants to meet with this guy. Now. Julie
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Mennin got involved, and you know, guys, you're hearing it
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: on this show. I've been giving Julie Menin more and
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: more credit, much of the chagrin, of course, of my
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: dear friend Vicki Palladino. But I'm able to set eight
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: to two. Julie Mennin did a very bad job with Vicky,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: very bad from the moment she took over as the
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Speaker of the City Council when she embarrassed Vicki unprovoked
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: for no reason, no reason. That was not good. And
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: then of course it got to the point where you
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: got lawyers involved after some of Vicky's tweets. So I
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: think that men In has bungled the whole Vicki Palladino
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: situation from the very beginning. And because I love Vicki,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: I really do, and she's a great, great council person
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: here in New York, one of only five Republicans. It
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: made me angry, still does, but her job is a
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: lot bigger than just Vicki Palladino and whether it's trying
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: to get these buffer zones in front of synagogues, in
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: front of Yeshiva's well like in this case yesterday where
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: she came out and she publicly like she did to me,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: publicly criticized the mayor. Now she was rougher on me.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: She called me this twice whatever that means. But you
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: did come out and say that the mayor's rhetoric when
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: it came to Ken Gripmin doesn't help a city that
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: is losing jobs twenty seven thousand. So I gotta give
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: once again City Council speaker Julie Menin credit this morning.
• 26:17
  Speaker 18: No.
• 26:18
  Speaker 17: Yeah, well you think about all those construction jobs, the
• 26:20
  Speaker 17: employees he would put in that building at three forty
• 26:23
  Speaker 17: five Park. If he walks away from that, and he
• 26:25
  Speaker 17: hasn't said he's going to, but if he walks away
• 26:27
  Speaker 17: from that, that's huge. And what insiders are saying is
• 26:30
  Speaker 17: that he just wants a public apology from the mayor
• 26:34
  Speaker 17: for that TikTok video that he's shot in front of
• 26:37
  Speaker 17: his house. He says, putting him in harms way where
• 26:39
  Speaker 17: people now know where he lives. And he says once
• 26:41
  Speaker 17: apparently this is what people around him say if he
• 26:44
  Speaker 17: gets a public apology from the mayor for shooting that video,
• 26:47
  Speaker 17: then he'll meet with him.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Oh why wouldn't you do it? I mean, I I
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: myself again for a million time. You can say what
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: you want, tweet what you want, write what you want.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: John Katsumatites never texted or called me once to apologize,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: not once, not shared Lopez, not anybody. Friends and family
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: reached out and said this one could get a little Harry.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: So I decided myself, with zero, zero complaints and zero threats,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: to do what I did, and I did it. I apologized.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Why can't this idiot apologize? He should apology, by the way,
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: he should go on an apology tour. All he should
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: do is apologize every day. He's got a lot of people, Mom,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Donnie and his wretched wife that they can apologize to
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of people. So start with Ken Griffin. Because
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: if damn city is broke taking eight million dollars, excuse me,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: eight billion dollars from the state, that doesn't help taxpayers.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: You didn't do anything good a couple of days ago.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: You took the money from us again, this time state
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: money instead of city money. So he should go on
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: a full fledged apology tour and start right here with
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Ken Griffin.
• 27:54
  Speaker 17: How about that not gonna happen? But yeah, what politician
• 27:58
  Speaker 17: do you know that apologize? Not very many of them
• 28:01
  Speaker 17: out there, right, But that was after you that they
• 28:05
  Speaker 17: found gold bars and you.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Go to prison.
• 28:07
  Speaker 17: Yeah, but otherwise right, politicians don't are not usually the
• 28:11
  Speaker 17: kind of people who apologize because they don't want it
• 28:13
  Speaker 17: to come back and bite them somewhere.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Sure, I get it, but he's so wrong here, like
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: there's nothing is wrong. But he tried to explain it
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: all way. You heard me try to explain it on
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: why I think you played that this morning? Did you
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: play that? What's that somebody else did? But Mamdandie tried
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: to explain away, Well you played it yesterday. Yeah, I'd
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: like to hear that cut at some point today. I'd
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: never heard that. It might take me a little while
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I can play it for you. So then the story
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: comes out now about Ramadwashi is Wipe. That's the same
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: lady that now we've caught liking on social media graphic
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: photos and videos of young girls being raped, babies being murdered,
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: children being killed in front of their parents. She loves
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: it all in the spirit of the freedom fighters that
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: are the palacedin and humas Israel deserves this. You remember
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: that a couple months ago. Then she did some illustration
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: some kid's book with a lady who's a raging anti Semite.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Tried to lie to us and tell us she didn't know,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: but we caught her again. Now we've got her again.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: This time it turns out she's got a couple of
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Spotify music playlists which includes songs with lyrics that say,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: f Israel, I hate Israel, Die Israeli, bitches. I mean
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: these are some of the lyrics, right, No, uh yeah,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: they're pretty intense lyrics, pretty intense. This is Ramaduagie. What
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: a disgusting human being. And the mayor all he can
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: say about his ugly wife inside and out is I
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: love her. She's not a public figure, no, stupid, She's
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: the first lady of New York City. That makes her
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: a very public figure. Like I said to you before,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: you can make the argument that Danielle's a public figure.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: She's married to the most influential and highest rated radio
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: host in New York. That makes her, to a certain
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: extent a public individual. Let alone the mayor's wife is
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: he nuts, so we shoul get an apology for that too, right, No, well,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: and we won't get that. So no apology to Ken Griffin,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: no apology for his wife Rama, none of that. That's
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: all asking too much, I guess right, not gonna happen.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Not gonna happen. What else is going on? Do we
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: have any of the actual music that she was listening to? Well,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: we're gonna get it. I'm gonna try to play it
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: at some point today. Lewis will find it. Yes, so
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: we'll get that at some point today. What else is
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: going on this?
• 30:37
  Speaker 17: Well, here in the city, the big story today is
• 30:40
  Speaker 17: going to be this LI double R strike deadline, which
• 30:43
  Speaker 17: is midnight tonight.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: The MTA, the unions representing workers.
• 30:47
  Speaker 17: They met late last night until late last night MTA
• 30:49
  Speaker 17: headquarters downtown could not come up with a deal. Apparently
• 30:53
  Speaker 17: there's some sticking point in the fourth year of this deal.
• 30:55
  Speaker 17: They want higher wages, MTA saying no, we're not gonna
• 30:58
  Speaker 17: give you any more money. So right now they are
• 31:01
  Speaker 17: going to meet again today. But right now it's looking
• 31:04
  Speaker 17: like the strike might happen. And if it does, you're
• 31:06
  Speaker 17: talking about three hundred thousand commuters who take the LA
• 31:09
  Speaker 17: double R would be.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: In a bad way come you know, Saturday.
• 31:13
  Speaker 17: Now they purposely do it on the weekend to give
• 31:15
  Speaker 17: them a couple more days before the weekly commute to
• 31:17
  Speaker 17: try to get it done.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: But this would not be good obviously if it lasted
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: into Monday, terrible.
• 31:21
  Speaker 17: Actually, yeah, otherwise. Oh and then there's another nightmare. I
• 31:26
  Speaker 17: don't know if you saw this. This huge sinkhole op
• 31:30
  Speaker 17: it's all it is, ten foot wide, eight feet deep,
• 31:35
  Speaker 17: opened up on the LA. This is about one thirty
• 31:38
  Speaker 17: yesterday afternoon. And this driver, he's from New Jersey. He's
• 31:42
  Speaker 17: going in so westbound lanes right in Melville there, and
• 31:45
  Speaker 17: he's driving home and he thinks it's a puddle that's
• 31:49
  Speaker 17: ahead of him, you know, like you sees something in
• 31:50
  Speaker 17: the roadway as opened up. But he thinks it's water.
• 31:54
  Speaker 17: So I have him. This is his name is Jimenez,
• 31:57
  Speaker 17: Jimmy Jimenez. And he drove right into the thing and
• 32:00
  Speaker 17: this is what he said. It was like scary.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: So, by the grace of God, I'm fine.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: I'm let to get hurt.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Thank God. It looked like it was wet until you
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: got right on it, and my front both tires blew out.
• 32:14
  Speaker 17: You had to see the picture of this. It's in
• 32:16
  Speaker 17: this hall basically where is it again?
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 32:19
  Speaker 17: Right at it's westbound on the lie So city bound, yeah,
• 32:23
  Speaker 17: and right at exit forty nine. So overnight they were
• 32:26
  Speaker 17: trying to patch this thing up. But it's not easy.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: It's huge. So we didn't hit any stinkholes this morning
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: coming in to work, me in Louis Jean, but we
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: hit a lot of potholes. I got to tell you
• 32:34

• 32:39
  Speaker 3: so we're not Gawanas as you know, for quite some
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: time till we get to the bridge. It's a mess.

  Speaker 3: I mean every couple of feet, Lewis and I our
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: heads are almost hitting the top of the car in
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: the back seat. It's every morning, so I keep hearing
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: about all these potholes. What an amazing job Hochal and
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Mamdani did to fix all these potholes every morning. By
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: a time Loo when I get to work, it's almost
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: like we were wrestling. Our bodies are all over the
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: place like you do when you fall from the sky
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: in a wrestling ring. I mean we are literally sore

  Speaker 3: by the time we get out of the car now
• 33:12

  Speaker 7: Thank you very much, my pleasure, and thank you for
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: having me, and good morning, good.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Morning to you. Before we get to the actual Israel trip,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: I know you went to a big event on Wednesday.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: The Embassy of Israel is in Washington and it did
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: mark the seventy eighth Independence Day, the big independence day
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: for Israel now seventy eight years old. And a bunch
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: of big time politicians were there. Gottenheimer was there out
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: of New Jersey, Moskowitz, they were there. You also had
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: my friend doctor Letter, terrific ambassador. He was there as well.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Mike Huckabee, the tremendous President Trump ambassador to Israel. He
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: replaced David Friedman this time around. That was a star
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: started event on Wednesday night. Tell me about that big night.
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: It is really special. Sitting third row had an eye
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: on everything. And of course Jared Moscowitz, as you mentioned,
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: representative and Gottheimer, spoke so beautifully and the main line
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: as to me and gave me real physic as they say,
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: real strength. They said, no defense, only offense. We stand tall,
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: we stand proud, and we fight anti Semitism. And they
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: meant it and you spelt it. It was strong and
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: it was amazing.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Well, it's been a brutal week yeah, yeah, I know
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: those are two Democrats. You're right, gott Heimer, who's actually
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: done something for my son's disability dysproxya. He sees working
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: on a bipartisan bill with Mike Wahler to get at
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: the federal funding and all the exposure would need. So
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: I like Gotdheimer. Moscow. It's too But it's been a
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: particularly brutal week. You know, boats getting on me for
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: a while, you talld about Israel. Listen, tough man. I mean,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: you saw those violent Midwood Brooklyn riots. They weren't protest
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: or rallies, they were riots. Swastika is all over Queens,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: a swastika flying high above the NYU commencement addressed just
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: a couple of days ago. That's really really disgusting. And
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: when I look at all these different horrible things going
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: on in this city, particularly the Jews under attack, not
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: the Muslims. There's no such thing as is Lamophobia doesn't exist,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: but anti Semitism exists in a big way. I can't
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: help Ariela but blame a lot of this on the mayor,
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: his rhetoric, how he really feels. He can smile only
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: once he can say I represent everybody in the City
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: only once we know that him and his wretched, vile wife,
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: they don't like the Jewish people, and I believe it's
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: translating to the streets of New York City.
• 39:30
  Speaker 18: Well, firstly, I just want to say, as soon as
• 39:32
  Speaker 18: I see photos of his passover SATR that he hosted,
• 39:36
  Speaker 18: did you know.
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Anyone's sitting around that table?
• 39:38
  Speaker 19: Nobody?
• 39:39
  Speaker 15: No, no one.
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: I mean not that I'm looking.
• 39:42
  Speaker 18: For an invitation there, but in the last administration.
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: I was there celebrating all of the Jewish events.
• 39:48
  Speaker 18: No one I know is invited.
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: Which is what it is, right, but it's fake. You
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: can make all the statements, as you just said, You
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: can make all the statements you want. Where is the action.
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: It's about shutting it down. It's not putting those policemen
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: in harm's way. There's freedom of speech and then there's problems.
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: Problem means people can get hurt. Problem means executing your
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: rights to speak, but hurting others. At what point do
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: you want to put people in harm's way as opposed
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: to shutting it down. That's what needs to happen.
• 40:23
  Speaker 18: No more comments, change, stop stop that.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you're right, and I had Michael Rappaport on
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: the show a couple of days ago. Mike and I
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: are very, very very close. He's got a great documentary
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: coming out during the Tebecca Film Festival on June the
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: ninth about how he's basically giving up. He's giving up
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: a lot of his career success. He's a great actor,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: great comedian because he's very outspoken about Israel and the
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Jewish people, and he's gotten a whole bunch of stuff canceled,
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: including comedy shows. He's had threats on his life, and
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: you know, he kind of said, he kind of said
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: the same thing that he's tired of seeing all this
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: happened time and time again in the city, both him
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: dove hikingdom I showed this week said maybe it's actually
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: time for Jewish people to reform the JDL into a
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: more physical group where Jews can physically defend themselves, because,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: like you said, the mayor does a lot of talking
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: no action. He had a chance to allow that buffer
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: zone in front of Yeshiva's. He vetoed it what Julie
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: men and the city council came up with. He also
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: would have veted the synagogue bill, but the truth is
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: they had enough vote, So you're right. Ariella time and
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: time again. The mayor only does his talk when he's
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: got the ability to act. Everything he does says I
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: don't care about the Jews.
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: By there, I just want to push that into the
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: same conversation in December, like two years ago, there was
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: a conversation floating around when the mayor was speaking with
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: Mehdi Hassan and he said, would you arrest you know,
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: Vivie Nasa who if he comes here? And again he
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: said yes because he's in violation of and I'm not
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: going to go through of all the things he said.
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: But again he is all talked. He has no right
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: to act on something wouldn't follow the ICC. So I
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: mean he's all talk and these actions where he stands
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: in front of the building where the richest people live,
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: which actually employ thousands of New Yorkers and donate I
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: don't remember the number, but X them ount back to
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: New York.
• 42:18
  Speaker 18: What is he doing taking more debt and then taking
• 42:21
  Speaker 18: more money from the governor's.
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: Budget so he can wipe out his what strategy is this?
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Eight billion dollars? And for folks who may be dumb,
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: that's why I'm here to educate you. You live in
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: New York, you pay state taxes. So any bailout money
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: that Kathy Hokle gives to Mamdani in the city that
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: comes back to you. So he didn't do anybody any favors.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: He's a liar and he's a magician. But the smart
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: people in this city, they've got this guy figured out.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: They just do Now, this is a very big month
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: for the Jewish people. That isn't back Jewish Heritage Month. Yes,
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: a couple of years ago I did make my way
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: to Gracie Manchin and watched Eric Adams speak one night.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: He was He was very good, but he also I
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: got my issues with him. I could do a whole
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: show on that as well. But Jewish Heritage Months in
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: New York, Ari Yella, what does that mean to you?
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: Last year, I actually I remember now where was I
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: Grace you mentioned we all celebrated together. We had a
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: wonderful time there. We had our as we knew, our
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: last meal and Racey mentioned and I think it was
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: in July that it was hosted a bit late, and
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: I remember saying, and we walked around saying, oh no,
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: it's our last time visiting here. But we celebrated it
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: together as New Yorkers proud right, and you know somebody
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: else we should recognize Kemmy Betadoc, right, the Conservative Party
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: leader in the UK. She's telling everyone how to act,
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: how to be, and.
• 43:49
  Speaker 18: She's saying no more nonsense.
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: We ought to take a lesson from someone across, you know,
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: across the Atlantic. And how she's speaking and how she's
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: standing up.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, they they're about to figure a lot of
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: stuff there. Stormer got his putt beat a couple of
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: weeks ago, and his party took a vicious beating the
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: Labor Party, and looks like they are paving the way
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: for my brand and Trump's friend Nigel Farage to actually
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: be the man there in the UK. If that's going
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: to be the case, a lot of these anti Semitism
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: issues and money issues and loyalty issues in the UK
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: will go away overnight if Nigel Farage takes over in
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: a couple of years for a Stormer. One last thing
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: I mentioned them agoing to Israel and again I usually
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: go with one Israel fund and we you know, I
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: do these amazing, amazing tours Eve Hairo and Joshua and
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: the Land and all these great people taking me all
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: over Israel, and then I was doing my show from
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: there for the most part the last couple of times.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: This is not about the show. This trip is more
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: about the JNS dot Org summit. I did Abolex Trainman
• 44:47

  Speaker 3: sure that all these lies about Israel and the Jewish people.

  Speaker 3: a lot of them are Christian people. They're not Jewish people.

  Speaker 3: And I say this all the time. If we're gonna

  Speaker 3: win this war on anti Semitism, which is a lot
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: bigger and uglier than New York tells you it is,
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: it's really ugly. If we're gonna win this war, we
• 48:04

• 51:54
  Speaker 3: All right, So, like most people, I had Box News
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: on run every day. It's my favorite yesday morning, and
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: I enjoyed watching the pomp and circumstance as they were
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: getting ready for that big state banquet, and watching Ruby
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: Jo and Heg Seth and all these people mingle and
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Elon Musk sitting at a table with a bunch of
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: Chinese businessmen and just a waiting of course the entry
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: of both President she and President Trump. Before that we
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: saw Eric and Laura Trump walk in, and then of
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: course you got the President and she and she spoke first,
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: nice little speech. Trump spoke after he was great, told
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: the President of China how much Americans love Chinese food.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: And now we're they're on the way home. In fact,
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: Sean Hannity texted me at four point fifteen this morning
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: and said, Sid, I'm on the way home. I said, Sean,
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: great job all you guys, but now it's time to
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: figure out exactly what did we accomplish. And there's nobody
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: better to talk to than my dear friend Brian kill
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: Mead does an amazing job following me each and every
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: morning here on seventy seven WABC at ten, Fox and
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: Friends every morning, and the best cables show One Nation
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: ten pm Sun, then nights. I'll be on next week,
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: not this Sunday, but next Sunday. So Brian, you know
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: there's a lot to discuss here. I think the major
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: issue remains Taiwan, but there's a lot to be optimistic about.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts?
• 53:19
  Speaker 20: Number one, they just want stability in their relationship. So
• 53:22
  Speaker 20: anything happens, and you know things are going to happen,
• 53:24
  Speaker 20: communicate and there's nothing wrong with that.
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: So you don't just hang it.
• 53:29
  Speaker 20: Don't just have summits with your friends for people to say,
• 53:31
  Speaker 20: why are we talking to them?
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: Of course you gotta talk to them, the other superpower.
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: Are you crazy?
• 53:36
  Speaker 20: We talked to the Soviets through the fifties, sixty seventies, eighties,
• 53:41
  Speaker 20: every president tried to.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: Get something going, and we said, well, they're evil.
• 53:44
  Speaker 20: They're fighting us in Vietnam, they're fighting us in Korea,
• 53:47
  Speaker 20: they're proxy wars all over Africa.
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: What are we doing? We kept talking.
• 53:51
  Speaker 20: So anyone who's critical, I think, just it makes no sense,
• 53:55
  Speaker 20: but shelve that. I think thirty CEOs that didn't know
• 54:01
  Speaker 20: have Chinese connections and now have connections, Like Tesla doesn't
• 54:04
  Speaker 20: need it, Tim Cook doesn't need it. A app, well,
• 54:05
  Speaker 20: I got it, But the other people have connections. And
• 54:08
  Speaker 20: what we want to do is set up businesses I
• 54:10
  Speaker 20: got it that don't have any technical or security elements
• 54:13
  Speaker 20: to it. So go over there with some businesses you
• 54:16
  Speaker 20: could exchange and try to get access to the you know,
• 54:19
  Speaker 20: the billion people over.
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: There or close to a billion people.
• 54:22
  Speaker 20: All right, I'm not too confident that they'll buy any
• 54:24
  Speaker 20: of our products. They have no money. I don't think
• 54:27
  Speaker 20: I think they're declining power. I think they're a formidable power.
• 54:31
  Speaker 20: I think they're absolutely declining power. If you look at
• 54:34
  Speaker 20: their childbirth, the they're diminishing in population. They cannot employ
• 54:38
  Speaker 20: their graduates from college, and they're finding the graduate the
• 54:42
  Speaker 20: presidents of universities. When the students can't get jobs, they
• 54:46
  Speaker 20: have make jobs.
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: Sid get this.
• 54:48
  Speaker 20: They have people who can't get jobs, so they make
• 54:50
  Speaker 20: them dress up, go to work like they're going to work,
• 54:53
  Speaker 20: sit in a building, and then they come home in
• 54:56
  Speaker 20: order to get paid. They're pretending to work. So please
• 54:58
  Speaker 20: stop telling us how hormonable that they are. Because they're
• 55:01
  Speaker 20: trying to get influence in all these other countries. I mean,
• 55:05
  Speaker 20: we've basically caught them selling arms and the President didn't
• 55:08
  Speaker 20: really acknowledge that yesterday. Back to Iran or giving them arms,
• 55:12
  Speaker 20: I think all the folks are going to be around.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: The takeaway is the two.
• 55:15
  Speaker 20: Hundred Boeing jets, but over how many years I think
• 55:18
  Speaker 20: the Also the takeaway is the respect they showed the president.
• 55:21
  Speaker 20: And it isn't just hey, mister President, you're great. It
• 55:24
  Speaker 20: was okay. There's a pageantry. There is the high ranking
• 55:28
  Speaker 20: vice president greeting him at the tarmac. There is the
• 55:32
  Speaker 20: toast to the president. We are two, he said, we
• 55:34
  Speaker 20: are two of the most important path we are two
• 55:37
  Speaker 20: of the most important powers in the world.
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: It's important we communicate. And I'm thinking about Vladimir Putin.
• 55:42
  Speaker 20: I'm thinking about all our enemies and thinking, wow, we
• 55:45
  Speaker 20: tried to isolate America, we tried to get the world
• 55:48
  Speaker 20: off the dollar, and now we have there are number
• 55:51
  Speaker 20: one nemesis saying that we're the most important country and
• 55:53
  Speaker 20: we want to have peace relations. So I think those
• 55:57
  Speaker 20: are positives, and the next step is now immediately. It's
• 56:01
  Speaker 20: almost like you win the semifinals, but you can't celebrate
• 56:04
  Speaker 20: because you got to go to the finals. And I
• 56:06
  Speaker 20: think right now you go, okay, great, now focus on
• 56:09
  Speaker 20: a run for every reason, said, I know you're tired
• 56:12
  Speaker 20: of it. Most Americans are tired of it. We see
• 56:14
  Speaker 20: the inflation numbers. Everyone knows. But now I think it's
• 56:17
  Speaker 20: time to finish these guys off. And Iran could open
• 56:21
  Speaker 20: up that straight with a phone call to say, I
• 56:23
  Speaker 20: can help you any way you want in this way,
• 56:26
  Speaker 20: he said, you know, President Trump will help you.
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: Let me know how well.
• 56:30
  Speaker 20: We know how you could open up the straight You
• 56:32
  Speaker 20: tell Iran back off. They have to back off because
• 56:35
  Speaker 20: you are sustaining what's left.
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: Of the economy and country. So I think everything's coming
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: to a head.
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: You know what's funny, though, is in the post said
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: this this morning as good as these last couple of
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: days for you just did a really great job, Brian,
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: as always of detailing it. This can go south in
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: a heartbeat. You know, I always talk about Putin is
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: going to China next for folks that don't know, Putin's
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: on his way to China next. But Putin will call
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: President Trump and they'll love this great bone called Putin
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: loves Trump. He looks at Trump like a Mattine, idly
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: loves him, and Trump will go, hevel, do me a favor, Okay,
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: don't bomb anybody today, and Putin will go okay, And
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: ten minutes after that, ten minutes, not ten days, he'll
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: bomb the hell out of some little town in Ukraine.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: The same thing can happen here with g and of
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: course North Korea and Iran. Well. Trump is the best
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: ever because he does he does go out of his
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: way to say nice things because that's how you get
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: stuff done. It makes the Democrats angry because they're stupid.
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: Trump knows what he's doing. But you really can't trust
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: any of these people, including the Chinese.
• 57:39
  Speaker 20: Of course, And why the president President says, if I
• 57:41
  Speaker 20: stop the Chinese students from coming here.
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: It's really gonna hurt the university system.
• 57:46
  Speaker 20: Well, okay, maybe we got too many colleges, so you know,
• 57:49
  Speaker 20: Harvard can afford to lose some people that are paying
• 57:52
  Speaker 20: full freight.
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: That's what China does. We have no idea their grades.
• 57:55
  Speaker 20: And they come over here and they pay the full tuition.
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: But they're all obligated to spy on us and we
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: catch them.
• 58:01
  Speaker 20: We've got these guys moving basically IEDs over to the
• 58:04
  Speaker 20: University of Michigan.
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: We got three of them. I mean, how many more
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: proof do we need?
• 58:08
  Speaker 20: We just got a mayor in Arcadia, California who admitted
• 58:11
  Speaker 20: to being a Chinese spy. So why would we bring
• 58:14
  Speaker 20: six thousand Chinese students here or sixty thousand? I forgot
• 58:17
  Speaker 20: what the number is. Who knows, I wouldn't bring one.
• 58:20
  Speaker 20: So I think that we have to be a little
• 58:22
  Speaker 20: bit smarter about it. He goes, well, it's an insult
• 58:24
  Speaker 20: to kick out the President said, It's an insult to
• 58:25
  Speaker 20: kick out all these students.
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: I don't care.
• 58:28
  Speaker 20: You know, I know, bringing culturally here, but as long
• 58:31
  Speaker 20: as they're obligated to spy on us to get our
• 58:33
  Speaker 20: best research and get out of the country, I think
• 58:37
  Speaker 20: we should really rethink that. So I think the President
• 58:41
  Speaker 20: does not want to do that. They also own our farmland,
• 58:44
  Speaker 20: but the President said yesterday, well they keep buying our
• 58:46
  Speaker 20: farm land. If we just make them give up them
• 58:48
  Speaker 20: what they bought is going to hurt the farmers. Obama
• 58:50
  Speaker 20: never should have let them bought them.
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know. If I'm the federal government, I go, look,
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: we're buying you out today. Goodbye, we're buying you out.
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: Get going.
• 58:58
  Speaker 20: And you know, little by little, the farmers by their
• 59:00
  Speaker 20: land back, or Americans like Bill Gates and these other
• 59:03
  Speaker 20: guys see it as a good investment and they bring
• 59:05
  Speaker 20: it back to this country.
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: So I would love to see these things moved on.
• 59:09
  Speaker 20: President's got his own agenda there, doesn't want to wrankle
• 59:12
  Speaker 20: feathers because he wants he sees the big picture.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: The big picture is we retain the House and the
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: Senate in November and Marco Rubio becomes president in twenty
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: twenty eight. No disrespect to JD. Banc d for you no, no,
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: j D. I'm begging you please stop it. And Trump
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: doesn't want j D there either. There's a reason why
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: two nights ago, JD. Vance was in Maine, okay, doing
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: an anti fraud rally in Bangor, Maine, and Marco Rubio
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: was in Beijing with Trump. I mean, if you don't
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: see the tea leaves a riding on the wall that
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: everything this country does that's important. Marco Rubio is right
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: there and JD. Vance has basically been relegated to you
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: do fraud stuff in states across the country. It is
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: increasingly obvious that Trump and a America has great confidence
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: that Rubio can be president. Not so much with Vance.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: Said maybe if you gave him sodium pentathol.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 20: He says, you know, Rubio has a better choice. I
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 20: still think that Jay, it's JD's if he wants it.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: Then why would j Why would JD. Vance be in Bangor,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: Maine two days ago when every major official everyone was
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: with President Trump and Pai China.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 20: You can't have the president and vice president together going
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 20: over to China is too much of a security risk. Okay,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 20: So you put the Secretary of State Foreign obviously foreign affairs,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 20: so it kind of makes sense, So to have both
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 20: of them together would be less dumb as putting him
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 20: at the White House correspondence.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: To which they did and which was ridiculous.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 20: But believe it or not, the fraud stuff is something
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 20: that resonates a lot in America with Americans, like in
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 20: New York. You know, well the crazy this thing we
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 20: have where if you go to watch your parent, they
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 20: pay you so you become the caregiver for your parent
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 20: in the later years. Well there's all these no show
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 20: jobs people abusing it, invisible people getting Medicaid and the
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 20: hospice care over in California. So that evidently domestically has
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 20: been just a huge, huge thing. That another thing that
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 20: the Trump administration's doing that's resonating. And that's what happened
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 20: in Minneapolis. Remember they wanted to distract us in Minneapolis
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 20: by making Ice the bad guys. The big story in
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 20: Minneapolis is how many Somalis stole how many millions from
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 20: our federal government and shipped it back to that terroristic country.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 20: And that was the big story. And then we find
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 20: the same thing in Maine. We find the same thing
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 20: in Ohio, blue red state, and California. Nothing's worse, they
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 20: had a hospice unlike every block and none of them
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 20: they were just empty hulks of buildings. So this is
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 20: kind of it is one of these issues that they
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 20: can run on.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: No, they've done a great job between well, Jday's doing
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: it now, but Anthony ds Posito, he's done a terrific
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: job in the Labor Department uncovering billions. Lee z Helden Eba,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: he has uncovered billions. So no question that this administration
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: has taken that very very seriously. And when we have
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: money issues in this country, which we're actually heading in
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: the right direction right now, that type of stuff becomes
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: very valuable. Okay, two days away, one Nation, ten pm
• 1:02:15

• 1:03:27

  Speaker 3: The Mets get set to host the Yankees in the
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: first Subway series of the year. The Mets playing much
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: better baseball, coming up with sweep of the Detroit Tigers.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: Young stars like aj Ewing paying dividends already after just
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: three games. He was one of five different Mets did
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: a home run yesterday. I'm not coming back to the match.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: I'm still a Yankee guy. That's it. Randy Levine and
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: I love him. But Steve Cohen has been great the
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: last couple of days. And he's gonna host Me and

• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: It's a big sports weekend, Mets and Yankees all weekend long,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: and then of course tomorrow you get the second leg
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: of the Triple Crown season. It's the Preakness Stakes. Now
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: we all know that Golden Tempo. My friend Vinni Viola's
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: horse won the Kentucky Derby, trained by a female sweet girl,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: Serie Duvau. She rejoined us two days after the Kentucky
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: Derby on that Monday morning, and she's coming back this morning.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: In a few minutes, she's gonna tell us that Golden
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: Tempo is not running in tomorrow's Preakness Steaks. So we
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: will not have a triple Crown winner this year. I
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: think the last one to do it was Justify over
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: a decade ago. Then before that you are American Pharaoh.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: And before American Pharaoh, you had to go back almost
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: forty years to Steve Cort and affirmed in the seventies
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: we had three triple Crown winners in one decade, Seattle
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: Slough Secretariat and affirmed. So we'll talk to Scheri de
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: Vault coming up. And of course you got the NBA.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: If the Cavaliers beat the Pistons in Cleveland tonight, then
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: on Sunday you'll get the Knicks and the Cavaliers in
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: Eastern Conference Finals action. And the good news is, unlike Detroit,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: if the Cavaliers do win, then they can win the series. Tonight,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: the Knicks would have home court advantage. If the Pistons
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: come back and win the last two games, one on
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: the road tonight, Detroit being the number one overall seat
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: in the East, they would have home court. So the
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: Knicks may get home court with a Cavalier victory coming
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: up later on tonight. So huge sports weekend once again.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: Congradulations to John and Margot Katzmatit's Chared Lopez. This is
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: in Inside Radio Today, which is a very big website
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: and spot for radio people. We read it every day
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: and it reads like this New York talker WABC leads
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: America's top ten AM stations. AM is still very important.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: You heard the discussion I had with President Trump just
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: three days ago for forty minutes right here on this show,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: and I brought up AM radio. We are the number
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: one AM radio station in the country. We beat six
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: forty KFI in Los Angeles, and they've got a big
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: morning show and Bill Handle. He may be second to
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: me when it comes to talk shows. I'm not talking
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: about Scott Stanford in ten ten wins, I mean real
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: talk shows. So we win ABC number one. Congratulations Los Angeles.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: The morning show they came in second there's a station
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: in San Juan, a Spanish speaking station. They came in third,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: some station in Houston seven point forty, they came in fourth,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: and finally nine fifty in Odyssey station in Detroit, they
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: came in fifth. But we did win. WABC. Congratulations to
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: John Margochad and honestly me and let's move to the
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: mayor's wife before I get the charidavall, because I have
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: to make sure I mention this every hour because everybody knows.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: Of course, there are a lot of folks in this
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: city that are publicly very critical of the mayor. Thinky Palladino,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: how to go to court over it? Basically, and Jim Walden.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of folks. Even Julie Menin came out
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: yesterday with this whole Ken Griffin situation, and she was
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: tough on the mayor. Way to go, Julie. In fact,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: let's play this, Lewis. This is Julie Menin cut number
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: two saying, hey, mom, Donnie stupid, why would you attack
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: Ken Grippin personally? Cut number two?
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 10: And I don't think ad Harman and personal attacks are productive.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 10: I just don't think that's so bad for it. I
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 10: think right now we leave a situation where the city
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 10: has lost twenty seven thousand jobs compared to the one
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 10: hundred and ninety thousand the city has gained each of
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 10: the prior four years. This is a real crisis. I
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 10: reached out to him to indicate that those jobs are
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 10: important to New York City, and so that was really
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 10: the message that I gave, and that's really what I
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 10: think we need to focus on moving forward.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: That's a great job out of Julie Menin, and the
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: mayor is a complete disaster. Let's come on, let's stop it.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: His budget was a joke. He got Kathy Hulkel to
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: bail them out. And you want New Yorkers that I
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: mentioned a couple of rabbis in the Satmar community, but
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: there were plenty of other New Yorkers, all these pussies
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: that cover the mayor, the Katie Honings of the world
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: congratulating the mayor on the budget. He literally took eight
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: billion dollars from the governor. The governor is scared to
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: death of the mayor. That's never happened. I don't think
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: before well, maybe PATTACKI and Juliani, but the governor scared
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: to death of the mayor. Gave him eight billion dollars
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: and you guys are celebrating. You don't realize that that's
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: your money. That's tax payer money, whether it comes from Hoko,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: the state, or the city, that's your money. Morons. He
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: didn't he didn't bail you out. He bailed himself out.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: He's able to run around. Hey, look what I did.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: He did nothing, nothing, He hurt us. So financially he's
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: killing this city, looking over tax people, still looking at
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: raised property taxes, forcing people like Ken Grippman to leave.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: So let's start there. Forget about the Jewish stuff. Okay,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: let's start right there. Financially he's killing us. And then
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: the cops. You know, I got a phone call yesterday
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: for my good buddy Tom ALBERTI happens to be the
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: big security guy here at the station for John. He's
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: a wonderful guy and a great cop. And he said, listen,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: Mike Keenan wants to talk to you. You know what's funny.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: I know like four Steve Cohens, four of them. You've
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: got the GM of the Brooklyn Cyclones. His name is
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: Steve Cohen. You've got the owner of the New York Mets.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: His name is Steve Cohen. You've got our former colleague
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: at W. A. N. Lewis who at the Sirius XM.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: His name is Steve Cohen. I know one more upstate
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: New York, but I know four of them. I think
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: I know three. Mike Keenan's Mike Keenan from Brooklyn, Morris
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: brother she wrote for Robert for many, many years, by
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: brother in law. Then you get Mike Keenan, the former
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: New York Rangers head coach and of course the great
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: cop Mike Keenan. Guy was shot mind you survive, thank God,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: and turns out to one of our great heroes. Anyway,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: without getting too descriptive, he reached out to Tom. They're
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: going to talk to me about hosting some major event
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: and maybe the world's most famous arena in and around
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 3: the time of nine to eleven. I got to call
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: him back today, but I was crying, literally crying on
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: the te when I got this phone call Mom Donnie.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: He couldn't care less. Okay, so financially he's destroying the city.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: Hates the cops. Now we'll get to the Jews. His vile, wretched.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: When I call his wife ugly, I mean on the
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: inside and outside, she happens to be physically repulsive. Yeah,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: I said it tough, But on the inside she's even worse.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: And now after we found out months ago that she
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: liked all these graphic videos and photos of young girls
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: being raped and children being murdered on October the seventh, right,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: and then she did some children's book with some illustrator
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: who's a renowned raging anti semi still not over. Now
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: we find out yesterday that she goes to the gym
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: wherever she goes is Rama, maybe a copy shop in Brooke.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: Then bumps him to my friend miss Israel and what
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: she listening to in her ears on Spotify, all this
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: anti Israel music. I mean, you've got lyrics some of
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: the songs, but she really enjoys, including the all time
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: favorite Hungry for Palestine. She's got some of the lyrics
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: that she listens to in these songs read I Hate Israel,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: Die ISRAELI bitch. This is Rama. This is the first
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: lady of New York City, right, this is as the
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: mayor puts it, Ah, the love of my life. She's
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: just a private person. No, she's not stupid. She's the
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: first lady of New York City. She's very public. Like
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: I said back in the six o'clock hour, you can
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: make the argument my wife, Danielle is not a private
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: person anymore because I'm the number one radio host in
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: the country, so automatically these women don't enjoy the I'm
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: a private person, not therefore, but Rama is not a
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: private person. She's the first lady. She can't be listening
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: to songs like that, liking graphic photos like that, taking
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: every opportunity to travel to London to go to anti
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: Israel protests, or ants to go to anti Israel protests.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: That's Rama. And you're gonna tell me that her husband
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: doesn't agree with every one of her ideologies. You can't
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: be that stupid. You can't be that stupid. Of course
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: he does. Why are you people okay with that? Why
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: am I the bad guy? Why am I the bad guy?
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: Why am I getting called in islamophobis whatever the e
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: F that means? That's bullshit, Sorry, doesn't even exist. I'm
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: still waiting to know him to give me a story
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: about a person getting his ass kicked in the streets.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: He says he did six or seven since the beginning
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: of the year. I don't remember any of them, any
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: of them. But every day, every day, I've got five
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: stories about anti Semitism. Why am I the bad guy?
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: Where is all the press, all the press in New
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: York City asking this mayor about his wretched wife? Why
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: is that asking so much? Die ISRAELI bitches e f Israel.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: That's okay. That up to creative entertainment. I don't get it.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: I'm sick of it.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: podcast network.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: So we're getting ready for the second leg of the
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes about to come your way.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: And the question was, after Golden Tempo's amazing run in
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: the Kentucky Derby, whether or not the horse would run again.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: And I had the really fortunate opportunity, thanks to my
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: friendship with Vinnie Viola, to have on the lady the
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: only female trainer ever to train a horse to win
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: the Kentucky Derby, Sharodnevoux. She was on with me Monday morning,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: two days after the epic win, and sure he was terrific.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: She really was great. Then I was watching Fox News
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: on Saturday morning this weekend, and there she was again
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: on the weekend show with Campos and Grippman and she
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: has become a legitimate superstar and again, why not the
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 3: only female trainer ever to win the Kentucky Derby. And
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: I did end our first conversation with will Temple run
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: in the Preakness? Now at the time, sure you did
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: not give me an answer, but you made it sound
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: like it didn't look good because you talked about how
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: the horse likes to run longer distances, and it sounded
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: to me like you were intimating that the horse was
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: not going to run the Preakness. But we found out
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: officially what your horse is going to do a couple
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: of days ago. And for folks that aren't paying attention,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: will Golden Tempo race this weekend?
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 18: He will not. He will not be answered in the Preakness.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: And does it come down to what you talked about
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: with me just two days after on our Fox News
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: this weekend that the horse is just used to running
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: longer distances right now or is the horse tired? Is
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: what is the main reason why he's not going to
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: run this weekend.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 18: It's a culmination of both ultimately what we decided, you know,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 18: and chatting as the team, you know, the hips and
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 18: Vinnie's team is we're looking for a campaign for the
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 18: whole year, and trying to squeeze a race in in
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 18: two weeks just wouldn't be right for him to have
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 18: the bigger goal in mind. You know, we're pointing to
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 18: the Belmont, then we're pointing to the Travers, and then
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 18: we'll after the Travers, we'll reevaluate to see, you know,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 18: if we're going to go into the Breeders' Cup Classic.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 18: So it's kind of it's one or the other. Usually,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 18: in my opinion, asking a horse to run back in
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 18: two weeks and then back in three weeks, it's a
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 18: tough task. And I'm not saying I'm I love history
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 18: and I don't. I'm not saying change the Triple Crown,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 18: but I'm saying it takes a super unique and special
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 18: horse to be able to do it. And I'm not
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 18: saying that Golden Tempo isn't a really you know, isn't
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 18: a high caliber, great horse. But I'm just saying coming
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 18: back in two weeks just isn't necessarily the best for him.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you talked about what kind of horse it takes
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: to win the Triple Crown, and god, you know, in
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: the seventies when I was a young kid. There was
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: a nice slew with those. You had slow the you
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: go Seattle Slough and you had Secretariot. And then I
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: remember watching a firm beat Ala Dare and all three races,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: and a young Stevie Cortin winning the Triple Crown. But
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: then we saw so many examples, so many over the years.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: Really in the nineties, nearly two thousands of horses like
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: Charismatic and others that won the first two legs and
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: came up short in the Belmont for a variety of reasons.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: Did racing get back to you at any point and say, hey,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: do me a favor somebody big in the horse racing
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: office whatever that is, and say hey, we love a
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: shot out of Triple Crown this year, or do they
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: stay away and let people like you make those decisions.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 18: I will commend everyone they there's been no pressure. There's
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 18: been no pressure from any racing office. There's in the industry.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 18: There's there's not been any pressure from any you know,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 18: both Everyone on the team has been really good about
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 18: putting golden tempo first, and the racing office nobody called.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 18: We called them and let them know that we were
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 18: going to bypass the Preakness, you know, and I it's
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 18: everyone's excited about it, and I'm there are fans that
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 18: don't live, breathe what we do and they're disappointed, which
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 18: I can understand that as well. But you know, I
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 18: have to be the advocate for us as a team,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 18: have to be the advocate for what's best for Golden
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 18: Tempo and just to run in the Preakness, just to
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 18: do it for the history of it isn't what's right
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 18: for the horse.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: This is the great female trainer. Sarda Vall made history
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago and her horse, Golden Tepa
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: won the Kentucky Derby Bubble. The last horse to win
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: the Triple Crown was Bob Bapperts Justify, and that was
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: about eight years ago already. And before that, American Pharaoh
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: did in twenty fifteen and broke a thirty seven year drought.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: So as we talked about it is it is very rare.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess you just talked about what kind
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: of athlete. You know, a lot of people get upset.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: There was a list that came out years ago Surrey
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: and they were talking about athletes and they had secretariat
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: on the same list as Michael Jordan, and they go,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: you can't compare a horse to a human being. But
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: I think what the list was talking about was whether
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: it's a horse or human being, what the what that
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: animal or person is able to achieve. So you have
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: to admit that for a horse to win all three
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: legs of those races in less than seven weeks takes
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: an unbelievable horse, yes.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 18: One hundred and there are horses that run that back
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 18: that quickly and regularly, but we're talking about a top
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 18: level horse. We're not talking about a horse that's just
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 18: and this is no slight, but you know, you get
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 18: a claiming horse, they can run, they run more often.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 18: But these horses, you know, they're putting everything that they
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 18: have out there, and and we're trying to save some
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 18: for the you know, we're planning for the whole year,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 18: not just being nearsighted about the triple Crown, big year.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: Like you said, Beaumont coming up and then travelers and breeders.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: So let me talk about you for a second year,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: because most folks didn't know who you were about three
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: weeks ago. And now, like I said, you're on Box
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 3: News twice, you're on this show twice does not get
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: bigger than not sure he trust me. You're a big
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: star and people don't realize this. But right now as
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 3: you're doing this, you're literally outside by you a track,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: getting ready to take care of your horses early early
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: in the morning. So I guess you've kind of gone
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: back to what you were doing before you won the
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 3: Kentucky Derby. But how much by how much of a
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 3: thrill has this been the last couple of weeks or
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 3: are you tired of it and ready to get back
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 3: to life as usual.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 18: Well, we're navigating. It's it's exciting that everyone is excited
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 18: and celebrating and and that's fun. But we won the
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 18: Kentucky Derby, and it's not like a championship where we
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 18: can go to Disney World. We have horses that are running,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 18: you know. We have a full stable of horses, So
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 18: it's not just Golden Tempo. There's we have a full stable.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 18: And I have only missed on Monday when I went
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 18: to New York. That's the only day I missed going
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 18: to the barn. So we're just trying to fit it
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 18: all in. And I think it's it's great that there's
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 18: positives talk about the industry because and I'm not saying
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 18: this is unfounded, but our industry of horse racing has
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 18: been under fire and there have been a lot of
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 18: positive things happening, you know, new rules, you know, just
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 18: different aspects. So I think it's great that I can
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 18: be a steward just for the sport, you know. So
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 18: it's it's kind of like taking the good with the
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 18: and I won't even say bad, taking the good with
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 18: the exhaustion.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: No, I hear you, believe me, it all makes sense
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 3: to me. Well, you've been You've been terrific again on
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: this show twice. I can't thank you enough. You've been
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: great on TV. Everybody loves you, and I would imagine
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: we will talk again before the final leg, which is
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: back in the in the place where you were born,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: I guess, and spent your very early days in Saratoga.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 3: That's where the Belmont will be held in just a
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks. So congratulations again on the Kentucky Derby win.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much for being so gracious, Chari, and
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 3: enjoy the horses this morning. You and I will talk
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 3: again very soon.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 18: Thank you so much, and thank you for having me on.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: You're great, Thank you so much, Terrevikia really are there.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: She is the first female trainer ever to win the
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: Kentucky Derby. Scharied Duvaux, who told us this morning that
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: Golden Temple will not run in the Preakness, but ninety
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 3: nine point nine to nine percent sure we'll see that
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: horse again up in Saratoga for the Belmont. Short break.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 3: More of Sid and Friends in the Morning. Right after these.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: Words, Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 3: Doctor Roz, who's doing an incredible job working alongside Bobby
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: Kennedy President Trump. The fraud issue that continues to plague America.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: I just saw. I have a friend who works for JD.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: Vans and she helps set up this big rally in Bangor,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: Maine two nights ago, and he talked to the fine
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: folks of Maine about fraud. And Anthony de Esposito was
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 3: on the show all the time. Labor Department, He's uncovered
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: fraud and Lee's held an EPA he's under He's uncovered
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 3: a lot of frauds. So it's become a very very
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: big issue here in the country. So doctor Roz, first
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: of all, you look very handsome as always good to
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: see you. But let's start right there, because if I'm correct,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: I just mentioned JD and Bangor Maine. You're about to
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: do a press conference with JD. Vans coming up on Wednesday, right. Well,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: we just had a big announcement with the Vice President.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: He leads the.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 21: White House Anti Fraud Task Force. So we're doing constant
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 21: events trying to make it clear to the American people,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 21: but more importantly to the fraudsters. They were after them.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 21: So we don't want them walking away. We want them
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 21: running away from us. And that's because we have all
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 21: arms of government working together, which historically has not happened
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 21: with fraud. And the prior administration quite transparently, there wasn't
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 21: a lot of interest in fraud. They just didn't think
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 21: that was a big deal. They weren't focused on it.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 21: But when you don't focus on something bad like fraud,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 21: the gangsters, and there are gangsters literally involved in this
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 21: organized criminal syndicates, they take advantage of the system. So
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 21: we announced this week that we're going to defer payment
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 21: of one point three billion dollars to California, and that
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 21: we are continuing to get worry about hospice and home
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 21: health care so we're going to put a nationwide.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 3: Moratorium on all new programs.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 21: If you're already on these programs, you're fine, but no
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 21: new programs until we figure out what, you know, how
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 21: it got so bad and what the problems are.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: And this is give one concrete example.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 21: Here in New York State where we're sitting right now,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 21: the number one job in the whole state said, number
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 21: one job personal care service. That means that we're paying
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 21: kids to carry the groceries upstairs for their parents. We're
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 21: paying the neighbor's kid to drive you to the doctor's office. Now,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 21: there's sometimes when that's a good investment because it keeps
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 21: you out of a nursing home. But when you have
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 21: very weak guard rails, bad people take advantage of the system.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 21: And that's why we have to dig California and defer
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 21: that money to one point three billion dollars. And that's
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 21: why we have to audit a lot of states. And
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 21: it's not just a blue state problem. Red states have
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 21: issues as well. We've written letters to We actually were
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 21: a letter to Maine, which the Vice president was because
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 21: you know, they have a lot of fraud up there.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: The Ohio, Ohio's fraud Florida.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 21: There's twice as many get this, as many durable medical
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 21: equipment suppliers in South Florida.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: The McDonald's. Yeah, yeah, it's gotta be because there were
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: so many retirees and all people being taken care of
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: down in Florida. It's going to have to happen. I understand.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 3: I think I saw something this week, doctor Rozin. Los Angeles.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 3: But they had these big, big buildings that they claimed
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 3: were being used for a hospice, and there was nobody
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 3: in them. Nobody.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 21: So Hospice beautiful program created forty years ago to take
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 21: care of folks who have cancer that's terminal, they're going
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 21: to pass. They want dignity, So you give up your
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 21: medicare you get hospice?
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 3: Great?
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 21: One third of all hospices in the entire nation in
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 21: Los Angeles, not California, just at LA. Now, if sitting
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 21: here in New York, I think, well, how is it
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 21: possible they have a third of all the hospices.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 3: In the whole country. That's not true in New York.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: So something's wrong.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 21: And in fact, the governor of California Newson was warned
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 21: by their auditors years ago that they had a growing
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 21: fraud problem with hospice did nothing about it. Russian organized
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 21: criminal elements are involved in this. Many of these clustering
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 21: buildings that are empty, nothing happens, No patients are seen,
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 21: or if they are seeing, they're not taking care of
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 21: Doctors sell their souls, their licenses, the lie that people
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 21: are terminal to pretend that they're eligible for these benefits,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 21: and they still billions of dollars from the Fed attach pay.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 21: Remember what we're really saying is if California tolerates fraud
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 21: that comes from the federal government, that means people in
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 21: New Mexico, in Mississippi and New York are paying extra
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 21: tax dollars to make up with the fact that California
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 21: doesn't care.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: Can you explain to my audience, because a lot of
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 3: my audience are just regular guys. They like to listen
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: to sports talk radio. They came to because that's where
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 3: I was, and they came to listen to me now
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: because I'm a regular guy. Why it's true. Why are
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 3: these politicians doing that? You know? Why does Devin Newsom
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 3: allow that in Los Angeles and California. Why don't we
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: just see Tim Walls in Minnesota? Why are these are
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: they on the take. Are they nervous? I have to
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 3: deal with some pretty bad guys. Why are politicians allowing
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 3: this in all of our states across our country. Well,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: there are a couple of factors.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 21: There's no question in Minnesota there there could have been
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 21: political considerations. You're going to lose the big vote from
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 21: the city. A lot of Somalians, very politically active, would
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 21: have been upset with him if he'd taken out their
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 21: main source of income in some of some of the
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 21: communities fraud leering centers in California, I don't know what happened,
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 21: but at the end of last year, as an example,
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 21: there was an opportunity for them to shut down hospice
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 21: fraud and the governor at the last second had gone
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 21: through the whole process. The Health Department wrote the role
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 21: governor pulled it down. Don't know why, but let me
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 21: give you a hypothesis. I don't think fraud is a
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 21: flaw for some governors. I think it's a feature. And
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 21: let's just pick on New York. The number one job
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 21: in the whole state is personal care services, right, which
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 21: means instead of letting these people go unemployed and having
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 21: to pay unemployment insurance coverage for them. You can just
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 21: get them on the federal doal have the federal government
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 21: pay for their their salary for carrying groceries, and that
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 21: you can tax that income. But also now we're learning
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 21: that the unions are actually getting engaged and they're unionizing
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 21: these personal care services, folks, which means you have now
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 21: a very politically active organization funneling money through union dues
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 21: to one party. So it's political patronage and I think
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 21: at its very core that's why some governors aren't serious
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 21: about this. Other governors just haven't focused on it. They're
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 21: running sloppy administrations, some are not as good as others
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 21: and dealing with these issues. But listen, when we write letters,
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 21: and I did the fifty states last week saying within
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 21: ten days, tell me, are you willing to check to
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 21: make sure all the providers are valid, that they're legitimately
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 21: allowed to provide these services.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 3: Every state wrote back.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 21: And said they would do it, because the reality is,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 21: and anything's people realize this is not a democratic or
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 21: Republican issue. Both parties want to fix this problem because
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 21: it's embarrassing if you're a Democrat that you want to
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 21: have all this large ess give all this money and
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 21: the social programs, and it's getting stolen. Republicans are angry
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 21: about this process because they expected it to happen. It
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 21: turns out that their fears were validated.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 3: We got to deal with it. And major issue here
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 3: in New York, which I know you're heading, is Medicare Medicaid.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 3: A lot of fraud coming from those programs.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 21: What we think is one hundred billion dollars a program
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 21: of fraud in health insurance industry, in Medicare and Medicaid.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 21: I'll get blame put in context where he said, if
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 21: you're working your tail off right now and you're expecting
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 21: that Medicare will be there for you when you retire
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 21: because you've spent your whole life paying into it. That
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 21: two point nine percent on your paced up, that's what
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 21: it's for Medicare. So we will double the life expectancy
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 21: of Medicare's trust fund. If we take the fraud out
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 21: of the system, double it. I'll be there for you.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 21: We'll be able to retire and have the social safety
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 21: and that intact for you.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: I'm also reading about something you're doing which is really important,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: and New Yorkers know this story very well, doctor Oz,
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: you're announcing a new healthcare coalition on prior authorization. So
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: we got a guy in a jail here in New
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: York who's a hero. He's a hero, he's beloved. His
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: name is Luigi Mangione. And what did he do. He
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: committed murder in the most cowardly fashion. He shot a
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 3: man in the back, a man who was a father
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: of two, a man who worked in the healthcare industry,
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 3: who by all accounts was a very, very nice man.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 3: But Luigi was having issues paying his medical bills. He
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 3: hated healthcare, and he decided that he was going to
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 3: murder somebody to make sure that justice was done. And again,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: I'm not kidding you. He's a hero to a lot
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: of New Yorkers. Tell me about prior organization what that
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: means moving forward, because the Brian Thompson story relates just.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 21: To this, Just to finish the story of the psychotic man,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 21: Luigi angeoti Jack.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: The hoodie he was wearing sold out. Is that right?
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 21: So people liked the idea that he could murder someone
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 21: because they're not like the system. And the man he
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 21: murdered he didn't even have insurance with them. It's a
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 21: different company. So let's see that tale behind because it's
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 21: sort of unfortunate tale, but it does highlight the anger
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 21: that many Americans feel about the fact they're having this
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 21: discussion with their doctor in the office sacres spot. The
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 21: doctor says, you need this test to figure out if
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 21: you have cancer, and oh, the insurance company reaches their hand,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 21: ins his hold on Tiger, even though you paid your premiums.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 21: We're not sure you're eligible for this test. We'll get
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 21: back to you in a couple of weeks while you're
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 21: sitting around trying to understand if I have cancer, not
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 21: that whole time you're in pain. You don't like it,
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 21: and you actually paid your bills. So we have asked
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 21: every insurance company. This is all about the president. Presidents said,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 21: you know what, Yeah, you can make laws, Yes you
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 21: can make rules, but use the power to convene.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 3: Just use the force of personality. Go in there and negotiate.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 21: So we went to all the insurance companies and said,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 21: the President doesn't like this prior off stuff. Can you
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 21: fix it yourselves without us having to get involved. If
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 21: you do, we'll give you safe harbor, we'll protect you
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 21: so you can actually get the job done. All the
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 21: insurance companies came to the table. We've covered down the
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 21: vast majority of Americans with insurance companies wanting to dramatically
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 21: change prior authorization, which by the way, does reduce costs,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 21: but it's done wrongly at times.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 3: And they've got their part done this.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 21: A coalition that we announced is getting all the hospitals
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 21: to join in as well, because listen, the insurance companies
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 21: can't do it by themselves. They actually have to have
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 21: the doctors in the hospitals working with them. Because if
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 21: I ask you, hey, listen, justify this procedure and you
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 21: fax me back to the response, you're wasting time. We
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 21: got to do it all digitally. Everyone's got to get
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 21: up on their game seamlessly. That's why the commitment we're
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 21: having to the American people by next year is you'll
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 21: have eighty percent of these prior offs done instantaneously. When
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 21: you go to a bank, you put your card in there, right,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 21: you don't wait around. The money comes out when you
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 21: go to a coffee.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: But I got to pay a couple of dollars take
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 3: up my own money. That's all the story.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 21: But yeah, that's a whole different story, right, but also,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 21: you know, if you go to a coffee shop, right,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 21: the barista doesn't, you know, get back to you in
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 21: six weeks if you have the money to buy your coffee,
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 21: they make the deal right then, or you wouldn't use
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 21: the transaction.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: True, that's a very very good point. I gotta tell
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 3: you as I'm watching you speak, and you know, I
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 3: think you're great, and I love President Trump to all her,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 3: both of you. Guys. You're telling me that it took
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 3: Trump and Oz and all your people to figure out
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 3: that there's money being stolen maybe all over the country,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: and that and programs like this prior authorization. You're telling
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: me that all these Democrat presidents Biden, Obama, they had
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 3: no idea. They couldn't figure out that this is a
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: major issue. You guys have figured that out.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 21: Where your focus goes, your energy flows. The President wants
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 21: to cut deals. I'll give you an even better example,
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 21: most favored nation drug pricing. One in three Americans goes
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 21: to the drugs or to pick up a medication the
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 21: doctor prescribed for them and leaves empty handed because they
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 21: can't afford the medication. So the President said, I know
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 21: why this is happening because our drug prices are three
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 21: times higher than any other country the planet than the
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 21: average of the other countries. So we're not going to
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 21: tolerate that, no mus And so he got us to
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 21: go to the drug companies, all the pharmaceutical companies, and say, listen,
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 21: from now on, we're not going to pay you three
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 21: times more. Global freeloading is done. You're gonna have to
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 21: charge the same in America as everywhere else, which means
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 21: you've got either charge more there or less here, or both. Right,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 21: And they actually started doing both, and we have we
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 21: will save the American people six hundred billion dollars to
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 21: be and we did not hurt the farmer companies. The
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 21: farmer companies are still they have enough money to innovate,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 21: but the grotesque in balance in payments is now gone.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 21: We're not going to pay for everybody else to get
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 21: medications fair.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: Last couple of minutes, I saw you on TV Tuesday's
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: spoke to the President Tuesday. He looked great. There was
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 3: about ten women standing behind Trump and there you were,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 3: doctor Oz. But it's actually a very important day. He's
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 3: talking about obviously healthcare for women. You know, I got
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 3: to tell you this, President Trump had the most sensible,
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 3: the most sensible abortion policy when he ran last time
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: against the Democrats, whether it's Biden or Harris, he had
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: the most sensible one. Here he is with all these
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 3: women right healthcare ivy up, all the fertility needs. This
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: guy's been tremendous for women. And you you were there
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 3: on Tuesday. Tell me about how that went and what
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: the future looks like.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 21: President recognizes we have to make it easier for people
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 21: to whot to have kids, to have kids. One in
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 21: three couples in America under baby is that right? That
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 21: means that they have no children, or they have one
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 21: and they want to have two or more.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: Wells up, becous on the money to have it, or
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 3: they can't physically do it.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 21: It's a combination, but they actually are related, those two issues.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 3: And here's why.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 21: If you can't have a baby and you want to
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 21: have one, it's really expensive. The medications are a big
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 21: part of that. So it's part of these most favoredation
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 21: drug pricing. We actually got the major drug that you
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 21: use for fertility to one tenth of what it used
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 21: to be because guess what, in Europe it's one tenth
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 21: of what it costs here. So ten percent of the cost.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 21: So instead of paying four thousand dollars for the medication,
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 21: you pay four hundred dollars for the medication. You can
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 21: use the medication to get your follicles ready, you have
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 21: the baby within mutual fertilization. So the present recognizes that
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 21: there's many reasons that may get in your way. By
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 21: the way, you can now we've authorized these insurance offering
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 21: so that you can actually buy insurance to have a
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 21: baby if you're at work. Most companies don't cover it.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 21: Now we have a skinny bundle of small little extra
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 21: add on the a dental policy or a vision policy
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 21: that a company if they want to provide that service
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 21: to their workers. Because guess what, me and you don't
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 21: need fertility services, So don't waste your company money buying
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 21: me insurance for a fertility But if my daughter wants
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 21: to have a baby, she might need that, and that'd
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 21: be a much different equation.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 3: God, you're a hero. I'm so happy that you're part
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 3: of this administration. I've known you for God for fifteen years.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 3: We talked about this last time to visiting moles in
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: Palm Beach Funds with OPRAHN. All those things and you're
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 3: in a very very important spot and you're doing a
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 3: tremendous job, and Americans and me are very very proud
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 3: of you. Thank you so much.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 21: Best job I've ever had. I treasured every single day.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 3: Is that right? This is the best job you've ever.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 21: I practiced medicine obviously here in New York. I was
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 21: a heart surgeon. Actually I was with Roger Altman, who's
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 21: was a patient of mine that he was talking about
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 21: it this morning on a squat box before I came
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 21: over here. But I love practicing medicine, love the job,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 21: love being heart surgeon. I loved hosting the show, which
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 21: I did right around the corner from here.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 3: It's a great show.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 21: Yeah, thank you. I enjoyed making it every day. But
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 21: this is the best job I've ever had, because you
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 21: when you see a problem in government, if you have
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 21: good leadership around you, like a president vice president who
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 21: really want to make a difference and they're brave, then
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 21: you just move forward. And when I go to the
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 21: President and say, you know, there's a lot of people
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 21: don't like if we do this, it's gonna be upset people,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 21: he gives what.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 3: You know, what he says, I don't care. I don't care.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 21: I got two years and eight months left. I want
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 21: you to do whatever it takes. He counts the day's
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 21: down and he calls me up because you know, in
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 21: odd hours if you get an early morning, Poe calls
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 21: to President. I was thinking, sir at six in the morning. Yeah,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 21: I know, I was up house thinking. You know, I
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 21: was doing We were having actually a dinner with Howard
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 21: Lutnik and Marco Rubio and a bunch of folks. And
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 21: President calls. It's like midnight, and we're also retired. He's
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 21: he's just going so he has a bunch of things
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 21: he wants us to do. So uh, but we go home.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 21: Next morning, I'm doing a TV show. I think it's
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 21: like seven. It's psych Right at seven, I do the show.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 21: He calls because I would have done a little differently. So,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 21: how are you still up?
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: What happened? Wait? Do you sleep?
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 18: You know?
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 3: Sleep? He doesn't, And then he gives you the criticism.

  Speaker 3: Great way to start the weekend with my friend doctor Oz.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: We'll take a short break.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: podcast Network.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 3: We came back from break a couple of days ago
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 3: and Lou played Space Between by Dave Matthews and my
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 3: phone started to blow up because and I knew this before,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 3: but I keep forgetting. I can't keep up anymore. I
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 3: don't have a scorecard of who hates Trump and who
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 3: hates Israel. I should just assume it's everybody. I know
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 3: that I should, but I forgot about Dave Matthews and
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 3: my phone starts to blow up. That bastard. He's one
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: of the worst pro Palestinian. And then of course I wasn't, Maddy.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 3: They were right. So I took a beating little because
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 3: you played a song a couple of days ago, and
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry about that. I don't think you are. Oh,
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 3: I am sorry.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 16: But if anybody out there has ever listened to a
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 16: Dave Matthews song, ever heard ten seconds of it, jump
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 16: in the water jumping the river and kill yourself.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, how about that?
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 3: How's wrong with you?
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 4: What are we doing?
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 3: No? But he is a he wears a caffee, I
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 3: think and stuff little. He's like really out of control.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 3: A look who we voted for from mayor not we?
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 3: You didn't do that. I didn't do that.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 4: I didn't do that.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 3: I love when people tweat me all the time. They go, well,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: you guys voted for him. Not you guys, you dumb bastards.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 3: I didn't vote for frohim. I didn't vote from Uh. There
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 3: was a guy that ran that destroyed this state, destroyed
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 3: this state. Let's be honest. He's on this station and
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 3: I was ready to vote for him before this radical
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: Islam disaster. I didn't vote for him. Neither or doing no,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 3: of course not. Kat McFarland has worked for for presidents,
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 3: most recently President Trump. She's on Fox News a lot.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 3: I like watching it on TV. And she's here everybody,
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 3: and she's terrific. KT, welcome back. How are you? Oh?
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 19: I'm just great. What a great week for the president.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the country?
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, listen, it's funny you say that. I got
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 3: a text from my mother she's ninety one, okay, And
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 3: she texted me like late one night this week. I
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 3: was reready asleep. She's hooked on Fox News kt that
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 3: she watches it all day. She loves all of them.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: And she was watching when President Trump first got to
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 3: China how they treated him, and my mother ninety one
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 3: was basically in tears. She said, what a beautiful way
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 3: to treat our president. And I told this story to
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: kill me, and he said, my mother was the same way.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: So I think a lot of patriotic Americans who love
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 3: this country and love President Trump got really emotions a
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 3: couple of days ago.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 19: And remember it's not just the Chinese treat all American
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 19: presidents this way, or they love America so much. Remember
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 19: when President Obama went to China, they gave him the
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 19: ultimate insult. When Air Force one landed at the Beijing
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 19: Diplomatic Airport, it just sat there and there was no
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 19: big gangway, you know, no staircase. It pulls right up
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 19: to it, and then it sat there, and then the
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 19: Chinese said, well, the staircase is broken. No people who
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 19: were going to meet him, no big bands, no big
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 19: students waving American flags. It was just the Air Force
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 19: one is sitting there. So after a while then they decided, well,
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 19: President Obama could leave in the baggage side of the plane,
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 19: you know at the back of the plane where baggage
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 19: comes out, and they could find a little tiny staircase
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 19: that they would wheel up to. That that was like
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 19: the ultimate insult, because you are you chiming that they
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 19: couldn't find it a staircase that would work. No, they
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 19: just wanted to humiliate Obama. And what did Obama do?
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 19: I mean if had have been President Trump, he would
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 19: have just said, turning her first one around, let's get
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 19: out of here.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 15: Oh yeah.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 19: But instead President Trump got the kind of welcome that
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 19: they knew they had to respect him.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 19: They respected him in such a way, not because they
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 19: think he's giving them any goodies or any freebies, but
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 19: because he's one heck of a tough negotiator.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 15: He is.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 3: But it still does beg the question. I agree with you.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 3: He was perceived beautifully. I loved watching the State bankquet
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 3: and President g said all the right things, and there's
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: no question that there's a nice little relationship. But you
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 3: can't trust him. Let's stop. Okay, you can't trust the Chinese.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 3: You can't trust the Russians, you can't trust the Koreans.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 3: The question is, once you get past all the pomp
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 3: and circumstance and the way they treated Trump decividly, so
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 3: what do we leave with. I mean, I know this
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 3: Taiwan is still a major shoe. I know that. On
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 3: the bright side, it looks like business is a big deal.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: Here in a video for example, already making chips for
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 3: ten different Chinese companies. You know, So on the business
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 3: side looked like it went very very well. Iran, I
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 3: don't know. I know the president said hey, and you know,
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 3: stop giving these guys weapons and the straight and President
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 3: g said, well, you know, we want to help you,
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 3: but there's no guarantee he's going to. So the big
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: question really is kat outside the popping circumstance, did anything
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 3: really get accomplished the last couple of days.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I think with regard to Iron, a lot got accomplished.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 19: The statement that was issued is China and the United
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 19: States both agree that Iran should have should not have
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 19: nuclear weapons. That's huge because frankly, China was helping Iran's
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 19: nuclear program prior to this.
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 3: And the second part, well, well, you say, prior to this, Well,
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 3: you say part of this, or you'll convince that you're
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 3: a very smart lady, Kat, you'll convince it. We'll not
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 3: do it anymore. That's it.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 6: Well, I think they're on record as not doing it.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 19: But the enforcement there as well is because they've said
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 19: China should not have a nuclear weapon, the Straight of
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 19: Hormus should be open, and Iran should not be allowed
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 19: to charge tariffs. Okay, so what does that take that away?
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 19: That doesn't mean that hu Jinking is going to send
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 19: the battleships to help us open the Straight of Hormuz,
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 19: But what it says is America, if you're going to
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 19: enforce it, we're not standing in the way, because, after all,
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 19: we agree with this joint statement that we both agree
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 19: that the strait should be open and that it and
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 19: that Iran should not have nuclear weapons and that Iran
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 19: should not charge a toll. I mean, China didn't say
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 19: we're going to help you do that, but basically by
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 19: saying we're not going to stand in your way and
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 19: we're going to like go along subtly complicit in what
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 19: you're doing, I think that's a pretty big deal.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 3: Big deal.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 19: It's not one that I didn't expect. I expected China
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 19: needs that straight up hormus open more than we do.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 19: I mean we do, President Trump does because he's facing
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 19: the midterm in five six months, has got popular opinion things.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 19: But China needs it because it needs the oil this week.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 19: And China is so dependent on Middle East oil and
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 19: the Remember it's it's just a ronze oil that's not
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 19: getting out. It's a rock Saudi Arabia UAE that represents
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 19: almost half of China's imported oil needs and the total
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 19: energy mix for China. You know, oil's part of it,
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 19: calls part of it, windmills are part of its, solar
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 19: panels are part of it. But what's not coming from
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 19: the Middle East is about fifteen percent of China's overall
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 19: and total energy needs. Now, China has a big reserve,
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 19: They've got a big rainy day fund of oil strategic reserve,
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 19: but they're blowing through that. And so China needs to
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 19: have the straight of hormos open because it affects their manufacturing,
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 19: their agribusiness, and it certainly affects their technology business, which
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 19: is so energy dependent. You know, high technology, artificial computing,
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 19: I mean quantum computing, artificial intelligence takes a huge amount
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 19: of energy, and China doesn't have it, it has to
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 19: import it. So I think that all in all, this
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 19: is an extremely good trip. And when President Trump made
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 19: a point him and he had a what's called it gaggle.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 19: And that's when you're on Air Force one and the press,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 19: the press is all sitting, you know, in the coach class.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 3: You can see you can see like Jamison Greia and
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 3: Monica Crowley behind him.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 19: It's great, yes, exactly, John Hannity said. He told gaggle
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 19: is when the president, who's up there in first class,
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 19: when he walks back to the cheap seats in the
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 19: back and he leans against the end, you know, the door,
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 19: the entrance to the coach class, and then the press
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 19: called jump up and down, they jump over their seats,
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 19: they stick microphones in his face, they stick recorders in
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 19: his face. And that's when he answers things very candidly.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 19: And so they asked him about it. It was a
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 19: considerably long press gaggle that it's the equivalent of a
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 19: press no halls barred press conference. And he said, Shohn, yes,
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 19: I want came up. We talked about it, but I
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 19: made no promises.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 18: Now that's interesting.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 19: Because people thought, well, if President Trump gets cooperation on
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 19: a run, is he going to have to give up
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 19: something on Taiwan?
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 6: And it sounds like.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 19: You did that.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 3: No, he's not going to do that. In fact, he
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 3: even said, let me take it a step further. Great job, KT.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 3: He's still considering sending arms to.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 6: Taiwan, selling weapons to Taiwan.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so's he's not giving up on the Taiwanese, not
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 3: even a little. I did get a text. I'm going
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 3: to name drop here like Pat O'Brien. He's still love Dylananheimus.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 3: I did get a text from Sean Hannity at four
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 3: to ten am this morning, in the car with Lou
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 3: on the way to work. He said, Sid, I'm on
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 3: the plane. I'm coming home. I said, good, okay, So Sean,
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 3: he was there, The Wope Box news crew was there. Basically,
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 3: they had a bunch of those guys there, Bill Hammer
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 3: and some of the other night people as well. They
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 3: did a terrific job, they really did. Okay, So we
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 3: talked about it. You just talked about it. Now he
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 3: comes home. Putin is going to China next, as you
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 3: folks know. But now that he's coming home, and I
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 3: agree the China trip was successful. Now he's got to
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 3: finish eeron one way or the other. K Team mcbond've
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 3: been telling you this for months. Brian Kilmey comes out,
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 3: he says, I know how you feel. Said, I'm going
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 3: to say it again one way or the other. Either
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 3: blow the doors off them or figure out the way
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 3: to do it more diplomatically. But this needs to get done,
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 3: and it needs to get done not in four months
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 3: now right now.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 19: And so I think one of the things and knowing
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 19: I mean I've not talked to President Trump about this,
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 19: but knowing how he thinks, and they he was waiting
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 19: until the China trip was finished. You didn't want anything to,
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 19: you know, potentially screw up the China trip because we
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 19: need the China trip for trade. They need it more
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 19: than we do, but we need it.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 15: We want it.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 19: And he also wanted to get this sort of plassd
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 19: this you know, kind of implicit agreement that we could
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 19: do what we needed to do with Iran and the
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 19: straight up our moose. But he's also I've got to
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 19: wonder if the phone call, the next phone call she's
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 19: in ping makes is to the Malas and says, okay, guys,
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 19: open the straight. We don't care about your nuclear weapons.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 19: We care about our oil, and we're not getting our oil.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 6: And we are your.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 19: Biggest trading partners, and you better cooperate here. And so
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 19: maybe there's a little bit of pressure. President Trump said
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 19: he didn't ask for any help from Shuging Ping. Shuesing
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 19: Print offered, how can we be helpful? Maybe something comes
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 19: to that, maybe nothing, But Trump now has a clear
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 19: field to resume military action tomorrow, you know, literally right away.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 19: And I think the first thing they do is say
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 19: clear the strait. We already control the straight, but just
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 19: to make it obvious to everybody that we've cleared the strait.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 19: No more what are called dolphins. They little this is
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 19: tiny little submarine that stick their noses out and then
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 19: they have guns on them, or they have underwater missiles
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 19: on them. Nume more speedboats with guns attached, which is
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 19: either blowed out of the water or it just doesn't
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 19: even show up. So I think President Trump has a
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 19: clear message from the Chinese, not that we needed it,
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 19: but she message okay, go do what you gotta do.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 19: So I think that that the first thing is opened
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 19: the strait. See what happens. Then the next thing is okay,
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 19: military action. There's still about twenty twenty five percent of
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 19: the military targets that remain. Go after those. See what happens.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 3: You know, in closing this, Katie, you've been around this
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 3: game for a little bit and you've seen a lot
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 3: of politicians come and go again. You've brought alongside for presidents,
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 3: and we both share this probably obsession with Trump. It's
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 3: probably not healthy, but we've got it. But this may
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 3: and I talk about him every day because I have to.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 3: I have to. And as bad as he is, and
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 3: he's probably the most dangerous politician in my fifty nine
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 3: years on this earth. That says a lot. He's the
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 3: most dangerous politician I've ever seen. And then every story
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 3: kt every story that comes out about is vile, wretched wife.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 3: And I don't do this topic stuff. This is not
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 3: inside edition. Okay, this is not entertainment tonight. I don't
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 3: get involved in moms and dads and husbands and wives.
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 3: But when you're the mayor of New York City and
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 3: your wife is liking pictures about October seventh, and now
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 3: we find out yesterday she's got these music playlists on Spotify.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 3: She actually works out to music where the lyrics are
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 3: die Israeli bitches and help you Israel. I mean, come on,
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 3: Willie Kat, this guy's going to make an argument that's deliberate, of.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 19: Course, liberate, of course deliberate. That's like you try and
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 19: speak out of both sides of his mouth. He says, no,
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 19: I'm not an anti semi. Oh, but by the way,
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 19: here's my wife's playlist. I mean, that's the sort of
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 19: wink and a nod to the people who are anti Semitic,
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 19: who are anti Israel, who are demonstrating not in front
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 19: of the Israeli embassy but in front of synagogues. That's
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 19: anti Semitism. That's not anti Israel, that's anti Semitism. He said,
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 19: wink and a nod that Okay, you guys, you know
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 19: I'm behind You can't quite say it, but look at
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 19: what my wife's doing, and we talk about it all
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 19: the time. Look, I think said, here's what you want
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 19: to do. Watch what happens in Los Angeles, and if
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 19: Spencer Pratt wins the mayor's race in Los Angeles, I
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 19: want to see sid Rosenberg hired the same social media
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 19: guys and the same social media team that Spencer Pratt
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 19: is using, and then go work for Sid Rosenberg and
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 19: then you run for mayor.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 3: Oh god, I love you. I know what you're saying.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 3: He's a reality TV star, right, no political experience, none
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 3: of that. I'm a radio guy, no real although I
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 3: speak to a billion people like you. When the President
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 3: was here for forty five minutes on Tuesday, literally right
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 3: before he went to China. It's you know, it's very
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 3: surreal and humbling from me to hear somebody like you
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 3: say that, And it happens a lot these days, and
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 3: I'm starting to consider it either way. Katy mcfalland, I
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 3: love you, Thank you. That was a great appearance.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Thank you, have.
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 3: A great weekend. That's kat mcfallan. I do love this lady.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 3: She's terrific, isn't she. Fox knew she's great. Here, she's great.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 3: Katy mcfalland on Sid and Brents in the morning. Thank
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 3: you for that. We'll take a break. Was still going
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 3: to talk to Dick Gerardi. Yes, the Preakness tomorrow, No
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 3: golden tempo. Any of Viola's horse not running. This one
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 3: looks like Cherie Devon is going to race Golden Tempo
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 3: at the Belmont in Saratoga in a couple of weeks.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 3: Although we know Triple Crown winner this year. Will find
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 3: out though, who Dick Guarti likes in tomorrow's Preakness. And
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 3: of course, the best defense attorney in the world, my
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 3: dear friend of forty eight years, Joseph Tacopina.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 2: podcast network.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 3: My brother of forty eight years, the amazing defense attorney,
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 3: Joseph Tacapina, represented President Trump in that Egen Carol case.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 3: And all the prosecution wanted was right, that's it. That's
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 3: all they wanted. And Joe did such a great job,
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 3: great job. They didn't get it. They didn't get it. Now, look,
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 3: when you sit down in front of a jury in
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 3: the box there they have like a list, literally, there's
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 3: a list. And if you don't get the first chargers
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 3: what they always want, there's a number two, one, number
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 3: three in them before, so they pick different charge. Okay,
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 3: he wasn't going to walk out unscathed, not in a
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 3: New York court, but that jury and Judge Kaplan, you
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 3: knew that. But the rape charge that's gone. You can't
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 3: call Trump a rapist when you do that, like George Stephanopolis,
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 3: you got to pay Trump fifteen million dollars, thank you,
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 3: Nancy Mace. And that was because the tack of pee
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 3: and his hard work. So now this Egene Carroll sued
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 3: him civilly, I guess and eighty three million dollars and
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 3: the judge said, nah, nah, you no, you're not getting
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 3: paid that because you're a liar. So I had to
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 3: play that Joe, because he the guy was really funny.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 3: But b I just want to give you the credit
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 3: because you can never call President Trump a rapist because
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 3: of you.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 15: That's right. And they tried. I mean, Egan Carroll said
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 15: in her testimony fifty two times the word rape. In
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 15: their exposing argument, Egen Carroll's attorneys used a rape word
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 15: thirty three times. Okay, So rape was the whole theme
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 15: of this trial. And you had a New York jewy
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 15: who you know, at the time, President Trump was not
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 15: upler in New York and probably still isn't right, So
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 15: so you know, it was a really difficult, you know battle,
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 15: and then you had a judge who was a Clinton
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 15: appointee who clearly hated President Trump. He made it clear.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 15: I mean it was there was always fans or butts
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 15: about it, right, So so it was one of the
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 15: most stacked courtroom proceedings I've ever been involved in. And
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 15: we still beat the rape because, honestly, if you look
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 15: at the cross examination that I did of be Gene
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 15: Carroll Lee annihilated her, annihilated her credibility and and you know,
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 15: at the end of the day, that's what it comes
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 15: down through. So, yeah, the jury gave her some lesser
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 15: included some sexual abuses. It's on the list, something right,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 15: and defamation and don't forget you know, by the way,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 15: the eighty three million dollars was not for rape. There
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 15: was no rape, right, It was for defamation. That was
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 15: the second trial. I didn't try that Alnahma did. That
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 15: was an eighty three million dollar award for defamation for
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 15: political rhetoric that was always going to face intense cons
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 15: social scrutiny. I never knew that. I never thought eighty
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 15: three million dollars was going to stand up. Listen, here's
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 15: how bad that was. They asked for twenty four million
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 15: dollars to the jury. Okay, the jury came back to naw,
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 15: we're not gonna be your twenty four million, We'll give
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 15: you eighty three million. I've never heard that in my life.
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 15: That's craeer where a jury came back and basically, you know,
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 15: gave three plus x of what the plank was asking
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 15: for in damages.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 3: Well, that's New York. That reminds me of like Letitia
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 3: James in that case. I know you didn't do that
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 3: when he did the Alvin Bray case, but same type
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 3: of thing. Like in New York. They just they keep
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 3: raising the money to ridiculous numbers.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 15: Look, that's what the Pellic courts are for, those said
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 15: right to stop this politically and emotionally charged verdicts from
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 15: steamrolling fundamental fairness and to social protections. Look, you can't
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 15: have adjustice system where emotional replaces evidence and punishment replaces proportionality.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 15: The First Amendment doesn't disappear because of defend. His name
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 15: is Donald Trump, and stand what he was what he
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 15: was clipped for for eighty three million dollars for denying
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 15: an allegation of rate. Okay, that was the defamation. So
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 15: it was insane to me that this verdict was given.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 15: And again this was not my draw, but it was
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 15: still it was sickening and it was hard to watch.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 15: But look, to me, the verdict looked more like social
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 15: really from the juris standpoint, like I said, sidal punishment
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 15: and measured legal compensation. Really, And that's what American appeal
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 15: sports for. When when when trials risked becoming emotional spectacles
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 15: instead of discipline legal proceedings, teble course is supposed to
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 15: step in and say, nah, not so fast, Well that's
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 15: not gonna happen here. You know.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 3: It's funny. I was thinking about you this morning. I remember,
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 3: for some reason, I was at the doctor maybe with
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 3: Ava and Danielle in New Jersey, and I was standing
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 3: in the parking lot. They wanted to leave, and I
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 3: was talking to you, And it was when Trump was campaigning, right,
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 3: and we were talking about, oh my god, the Bragg
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 3: trial is out there, the James trial is out there.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 3: Here's this clown Smith who's you know, sewing them in
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 3: just about every blue state across the country. Egene Carrol
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 3: is out there, and we're trying to figure out not
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 3: only how he's gonna win, but how he's going to
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 3: stay out of jail. I mean, that was a concern
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 3: for some attorneys at one point. I never thought that
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 3: would be the case, but it was a concern. You'll
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 3: look back at those conversations Joseph and what these animals
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 3: will he try to do? And where he is today
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 3: pretty remarkable.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 15: Yes, Oh it's it's beyones. He's extraterrestrial, like seriously, he
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 15: has he has nine lives. That looks he got indicted
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 15: four times, not not charge, not sued, indicted to it
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 15: four times in one year. As I said to you
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 15: in the past, give me the four most notorious criminals
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 15: in history, John Dillinger, Pablo Escobar, Toddie, John Gotti, Dottie,
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 15: any of them. None of them were indicted four times total.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think even Pablo bar I
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 3: don't think any of them were even indicted more than once.
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe John, that's it.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 15: And but four times in one year, I mean, you know,
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 15: and again that's why, that's why we really have to
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 15: be careful. And I've always said this when I was
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 15: representing the president, I was on you know, your show
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 15: in the morning, Hannity at night, Mark Lemon, all these
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 15: different shows. Right, the legal principles here affect every American.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 15: Forget whether you're blue or you're red if constitutional safeguards
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 15: are road for one unpopular defendant, if he's not your
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 15: your candidate of choice, they rode for everyone. And that's
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 15: what was so scary to me to watch all that
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 15: stuff go down. I mean, indictments that were based on
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 15: I mean the brand case, that indictment that that that
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 15: the Stormy Daniel's nonsense was seriously the most convoluted criminal
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 15: case I've ever seen that was based on no criminal conduct,
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 15: no criminal conduct, and and somehow still a jury came
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 15: back and convict them of thirty four counts. It was
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 15: unbelievable to me. I mean, he did nothing, There was
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 15: nothing that was done wrong there. I promise you it
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 15: was a a personal civil settlement with personal money, not
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 15: campaign funds. Not you know, if he paid with that
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 15: money with campaign funds, they would be paying for his scalp.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 15: That would be a campaign finance crime. But he did
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 15: nothing wrong. And yet still that we're bringing charges left
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 15: and right against him, and look where he is. It's
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 15: just it's something else. But look again, this is an
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 15: appeals court faction here today or yesterday with President Trump
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 15: reinforces that basic principle that these massive verdicts in these
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 15: politically charged cases must still comply with the constitutional protections
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 15: proportionality and fairness, right, And that's not politics, that's the
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 15: rule of law. So he's going to refine. I knew
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 15: who's going to be fine. I didn't ever think he
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 15: was paying that eighty three million. And if someone else
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 15: wants to call him a rapist again, they could pay
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 15: fifteen million dollars also, but.
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 3: They will do it. They don't care. There's such there's cycles.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 3: It's happened two or three times, not just stepan hopelist
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 3: where they just don't care. Then they'll call them at
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 3: ten times one segment.
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 15: But they just know. I mean, look, they wanted more
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 15: than anything in the world to be able to say
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 15: President Trump is a rapist, rapist, rapist. They wanted that
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 15: red ink end of the world headline on every page. Right.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 15: Why they can't do it. They can't do it, Babe.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 3: You better text them this morning. I know we well,
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 3: actually he's on the plane right now coming back from
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 3: China with Hannity and Crowley, you know those people. So
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 3: I set to myself into you. We had this conversation too.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 3: It'll only be right if Joe Takapina the greatest defense
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 3: attorney in the world, represented the represented Trump. Now he's
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 3: got to do Bibe right because despite all the hate
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 3: that goes around, because we are surrounded by vicious anti Semites.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 3: And the best is when they try to tell you
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 3: they're not. I love that vicious anti Semites surrounded by them.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 3: So here's Takapina running to the rescue. Hey, I got
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 3: two trials for Trump. I want them both. Then here
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 3: comes Bebe. This one is this one is really special.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 3: So the New York Times, this guy chrissed Off, who's
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 3: actually won two Bulletser Prize awards. Okay, this is not
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 3: some rookie, this is not some kid just starting out.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 3: This is a world renowned, award winning writer for the
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 3: New York Times, which at this point is like doctor Seuez.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 3: It's all fiction, and he writes his story. You can't
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 3: make this up. This is when you know how sick
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 3: people are that the Israelis are training dogs. Listen carefully, folks. Okay,
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 3: some of you went to Semites out there. The Israelis
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 3: are training dogs to rape Palestinians. Yeah, that's the story.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 3: And this idiot, Christoph so Bibi says, I'm so happy
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 3: about this. We're gonna sue the pants of the New
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 3: York Times, me Israel and to me based upon your
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 3: great success with Trump, but everybody else you win every time.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 3: You'd be the perfect attorney for BBI and Israel.
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 15: Oh. I would love this case. I would love this
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 15: case because if you're going to accuse the army of
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 15: a democratic ally of systematic rape, torture barbarians, you better
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 15: have evidence beyond politically charge anecdotes, because that's all they
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 15: have here. They really, the Times really lost their mind here.
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 15: They crossed the line from a great of journalism into
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 15: actionable defamation. It's defamation, and the lawsuit it is just
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 15: not to attack on free speech. It's demand for accountability.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 15: And this has to be brought. It has to be
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 15: brought because you know, again they clearly didn't investigate anything.
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 15: And let me tell you something, the more explosive the accusation,
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 15: the higher the journalistic duty is to verify it. Okay,
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 15: that's the law. So you're not talking about ordinary criticism
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 15: of military policy. You're not talking about accusations that the
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 15: Israeli soldiers were rough and handling the prisoners. You're talking
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 15: about accusation as Raeli soldiers claimed alas to sexually assault
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 15: prisoners and engage in systematic rate. Those allegations are so shocking, right,
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 15: and reputation destroying that any any weakness in sourcing becomes
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 15: a major problem for the New York Times. And I'll
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 15: tell you something, they are going to have a problem
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 15: here because you know, I will tell you there's a
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 15: standard called actual malice or reckless disregard. From my understanding,
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 15: their source is is someone who basically had a bias.
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 15: It was aligned with the Palestinians, right, And there was
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 15: no evidence. He just said something as a source. Okay,
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 15: they bet you have to when you have an allegation
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 15: of this nature, you must you have to verify it once,
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 15: twice and three times over. So you know, I swear,
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 15: I mean this New York Times is in trouble. When
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 15: I first looked at this, these facts and these allegations, said,
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 15: I was astonished. I really was astonished. And then you
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 15: look at the timing of it. You know, the timing
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 15: of it was also weird, right. I think that matters
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 15: politically illegally that the Israeli officers, that the piece was
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 15: really published right before reports detailing the homos sexual atrocities
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 15: from October seventh. That's right, allegedly creating a false moral
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 15: equivalence between Hamas terrorist and Israeli soldiers.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 3: And the Hamas story was on homos actually made. There
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 3: are hostages, family members have sex with each other, not
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 3: what I believe, not so much the dogs. But let
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 3: me with some history, Joseph. I now you know this,
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 3: but the audience out there during Nazi Germany, the Holocaust,
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 3: World War Two, the New York Times, the Great New
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 3: York Times, they did a lot of stories on World
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 3: War Two, about two, on the Jews being exterminated, about two.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 3: That's about it. Then years ago, I'll tell you, Joseph,
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 3: when I started to become a legitimate news guy, because
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 3: I really was. I came here was a sports guy.
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 3: I was going to the gym one afternoon and I
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 3: got a call from Dove Hike ind Or I forget
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 3: who it was, and they said, listen, we're having a
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 3: rally outside the New York Times building. We want you
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 3: to come and speak. So I go to Danielle. This
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 3: is years ago. I go, I gotta go to the gym.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 3: She go, Sydney City, Sidney. Why why they're having a
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 3: rally well, because there was a cartoon in The New
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 3: York Times that depicted Donald Trump and Bib Netanyahu. But
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 3: Trump was walking Bib that may have been vice versa,
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 3: as a dog literally on four legs with a leash.
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 3: So they were calling the President in Bib the like
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 3: they're walking dog, you know, which is really really sick
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 3: and twisted anti Semitic. She said, Sydney, you can't go
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 3: to the gym. They asked you to come. I said,
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 3: de come on, man, I'm tired, you know, Okay, fine.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 3: I fought her for a while. I went and it
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 3: turned out to be a great event. Dolf Hiken was there,
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 3: like I said, That's where I met Alan Dershowitz and
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 3: many other Jewish fighters, and that was kind of the
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 3: beginning of when people started to take me seriously as
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 3: a voice for the Jewish community. I got to thank
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 3: Danielle for making me go that day. But this dates
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 3: back Joseph seven eight years ago, anti Smitic cartoons, and
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 3: again back to Nazi Germany not even talking about the
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 3: Jews six million being exterminated. So this is nothing new.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 3: The New York Times has always been, has always been
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 3: a treasure for the anti semit.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 15: Yeah, and well, I'll tell you whatever line they crossed here,
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 15: it's unimaginable. I mean, the New York Times took one
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 15: of the oldest anti Semitic smears in history, that blood
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 15: libel smear, and repassed it as journalism. And when you
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 15: accuse soldiers of barbaric sexual cross without air type proof,
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 15: and see I mean air type proof, you're not informing
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 15: the public, you're inflaming the world. And so this wasn't
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 15: some you know again, nuanced polic secreteeth. This was reputational
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 15: napalm dropped on Israel and the Jewish people. And this
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 15: has to be accounted for and they have to be
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 15: responsible for what they did here because the allegations are
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 15: false and they were published recklessly. The damage is irrevers Well,
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 15: you can't ring this bell, and the Times know exactly
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 15: what global reaction to these accusations would trigger, okay, and
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 15: they publish them anyway. So I am ready willing and
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 15: able because I think this case is going to be
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 15: a slam dunk, and it's an important case in history
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 15: because it really has to put the media back into
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 15: a place where you know, journalistic integrity matters, okay, And
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 15: and this is so important. It's not just you know,
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 15: being opinionated. This is not opinion this was factual reporting.
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 15: So I just hard to believe. But honestly this is
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 15: something that honestly, this is a moral demonization. Mass wearing
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 15: is reporting, and I just can't. I can't take it.
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 15: So if you're gonna excuse I'll say this impartiand and
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 15: to BB net Gahoo. If you're gonna excuse Israeli soldiers
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 15: of medieval style atrocities, you better have evidence beyond activism,
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 15: outrage or these anonymous narratives, because once those accusations sit
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 15: the front pages of New York Times, the damage to
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 15: Israel and the Jews worldwide is imminent and permanent. And said,
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 15: I'm ready to take their heads off.
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm so proud of you. I I
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 3: thought I couldn't love you anymore than I did, but
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 3: now I love you even more. And I'm sending this
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 3: tape to see you know, to David Mencia today. He
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 3: works with BB every day. I'm gonna see BB in
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 3: Israel in a couple of weeks, with speaking at the
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 3: same summit on June eighteenth. But I'm sending this tape
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 3: to to BB because I want him to win. I
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 3: want the New York Times to finally get their airs
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 3: is kicked. And there's no better attorney in the world
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 3: than you. So this is well, this makes me excited.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 3: To be honest, I'm looking for again this time and
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 3: you know you talk about they got to prove this stuff.
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 3: You know, one last thing, Hamas. For all these Tucker
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 3: carls and warns out there, Hamas, you know what they do.
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 3: They set up their headquarters. Let me pay attention. You
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 3: know this, okay. They set up their headquarters in nursery schools.
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 3: They set up their headquarters in hospitals. They set up
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 3: their headquarters in places where the last thing you want
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 3: to see is anybody die. And why do they do that?
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 3: A Because they think they're picking out the Israelis, but
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 3: we've got great intelligence. And b because when Israel drops
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 3: a bomb on a hospital, and yes, some Palestan civilians
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 3: will die poly cities, that's where Hamas is. So then
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 3: they can tell the world that the Israelis are genocidal
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 3: and they're killing in us in people We're not. We
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 3: never have. So that is the other narrative that the
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 3: world has gladly accepted. They run with it, they love
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 3: it because again it has become very very chic, very
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 3: chic to hate the Jewish people all over the world,
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 3: especially Bebe. But they purposely set up in these venues,
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 3: so Israel looks like they're all killing people at a hospital. Now,
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 3: they're not your dumb bastards.
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 15: You know this, right, of course, of course, absolutely. Look,
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 15: it's so this is war and when the when the terrorists,
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 15: because Hamas is in a group of warfighters, they're terrorists
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 15: right when they when they disguise themselves as civilians where
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 15: they infiltrate civilian areas to hide there, you know, they're
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 15: the ones who are putting civilians at risk. They're the
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 15: ones who are doing it. So, I mean, it's it's
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 15: it's outrageous. And yes, the critics who attack is Real
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 15: for that are so one sided and clearly clearly anti Israel.
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 15: One to call anti Semites, I mean, I don't know,
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 15: but but I mean, you know, it's just unbelievable and
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 15: it's it's really again back to this case, I'm just
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 15: I'm lobby as the bias said. I've read that article twice. Okay,
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 15: that was published, and I cannot believe that was written.
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 15: I can't believe that not one editor at the New
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 15: York Times said, hold on hundred second, hold on a second,
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 15: do we have verifiable evidence? Because when you have an
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 15: extraordinary accusation, an explosive accusation, that's going to look to
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 15: say around the world, do you must you must have
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 15: extraordinary verification, and especially in a war fueled by propaganda. Yea.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 15: And the fact that they didn't is to me. It's
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 15: a game, set and match, and the different times we're
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 15: coming if.
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 3: You're good good, I'm that serious when I tell you that,
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 3: you know, I know everybody in and around BB and bby,
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 3: so I'm going to make it their business to know
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 3: that you want to do this, because there's no better
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 3: attorney in the world not to see not at State.
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 3: So well, we'll get on this and you'll save Trump
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 3: and Baby and Israel all in all in a couple
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 3: of years. That's pretty good work, Joe. You'll be happy
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 3: to have this on the way out. I am going
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 3: to the Met Yankee game tonight, but I'm sitting with
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 3: Met owner Steve Cohen in his suite. He invited me,
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 3: and we're going to talk about some things. How I
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 3: think the Mets can improve their public image because they
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 3: have some issues. Whether you like it or not, they do.
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 3: So I am going to the house that Mookie built
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 3: later on tonight to see the Mets and Yankees.
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 15: Thank you, come come back, please come back to the
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 15: good side. I mean, look, there's enough Yankee fans out
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 15: there because it's so easy to be a Yankee fan, right,
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 15: an evil empire, yeah, I mean they throw money with
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 15: the Met fans. You build character and I told you
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 15: this as being a Met fan said, we developed the
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 15: ability to lose and still move on. And that's what
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 15: being a Met fans all about.
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 3: So what's life.
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 15: I probably have two great young kids in that outfield now,
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 15: that Binge and that new kid Ewan, Yeah, the great one.
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 15: That's exciting stuff.

  Speaker 17: media i e. Porn, porn xn xx. Yeah, he does
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 17: new Media Eye, which hates me and Trump. They wrote
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 17: a couple of nasty stories about me and the president
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 17: on Wednesday Shock.
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 3: But you look at that list and they do have
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 3: a like one conservative group on the show. They put
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 3: the five from Fox News at like number twelve on
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 3: the list, so they didn't completely lock out conservatives. But
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 3: most of the people on the list are these tree
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 3: hugging New York white haired liberals. And I gotta tell you,
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 3: I'm a pretty big media guy in New York. Pretty big, Okay,
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 3: when there's a list of the fifty most influential in
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 3: the city where we do the number one radio show,
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 3: and I gotta be honest, guys, I don't recognize thirty,
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 3: not five thirty of the fifty names. That's a problem. Now,
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 3: that doesn't mean not influential, right, because it could. They
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 3: can be CEOs, it can work for radio companies. I
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 3: don't know. But guess who's not on the list. Joy Behar.
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 3: I think she actually did make the list. I think
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 3: all those repulsive haggs. Yeah, the view, but I'm altogether.
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 15: I think.
• 2:19:35
  Speaker 3: I think all of them. Sunny hosting will be just
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 3: to the group of these repulsive haggs. No, I'm not
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 3: on the list. So Barrett Media, love those guys. Jason,
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 3: he got a big conference coming up. This is going
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 3: to be the year they actually introduce the Scott Shannon Award.
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 3: Let me be a break. Scott still working, of course,
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 3: he just got a job in Boston somewhere during mornings.
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but the inaugural Scott Shannon Award will
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 3: be handed out in July at the conference where I
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 3: believe I was the first person they contacted to speak,
• 2:20:04
  Speaker 3: and I will speak. Is I like Jason Barrett a
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 3: lot and Garrett see right north those guys. So there
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 3: ought a big story yesterday about the glaring omissions from
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 3: this list. Sim Rosenberg is not on the list. Mark
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 3: Simone is not on the list. Curtis Sliva, it's not
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 3: on the list. So if you look at the picture
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 3: of the Hollywood Reporter, you see the picture is in
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 3: the Barrett Media story. I'm in the middle, flocked by
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 3: Curtis and Simone. There's one other glaring omission, which Garrett
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 3: see write. The writer asked me about. He said, if
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 3: you are writing this list, would you put John katch
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 3: Mateite's I said, of course, are you nuts? And he's
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 3: got a top rated show five o'clock every weekday afternoon.
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 3: He beats Sean Hannity beats him easily, top rated show
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 3: Sunday morning, and he owns the number one AM radio
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 3: station in the world. Inside Radio came out just this
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 3: morning with the top ten AM radio stations in the
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 3: country in the world, and we are number one WABC,
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 3: Thank you. So how do you leave him off the list?
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 3: He's a billionaire, he's got multiple businesses in New York City,
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 3: and he's got a pretty good radio pedigree at this point.
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 3: So no John, and that's a pretty claring omission. But no, said,
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 3: and they were mad. Barrett Media was mad. Garrett was like,
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 3: I'm looking up and down the list. I go, did
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 3: I miss maybe just missed your name? I said, no,
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 3: it's not there. He said, what do you think that's
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 3: the case. And I couldn't say it's because I'm a
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 3: Trump loving conservative, because they have the whole cast of
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 3: the five Jesse Waters, Dana Perino, Greg Guttbelt. But but
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 3: here's the difference. I explained it to him to kind
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 3: of milk toast. Right, you don't look at Jesse Waters
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 3: as a hater, do you?
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 18: No?
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 3: Polarizing Greg Guttbeld, No, I want to be comedian with
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 3: a pretty lame late night show that does very well
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 3: in the ratings. Me, I'm an asshole. Hate me, right,
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 3: they hate me? So that's the difference. So, yeah, we're
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 3: all conservatives, me and those guys, But nobody hates those guys.
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 3: They hate me, and I wear that as a badge
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 3: of honor. I'd rather be hated and not make this
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 3: stupid Hollywood report a list. But I really couldn't think
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 3: of any other reason why I wouldn't be on the list,
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 3: and high on the list, can you know?
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 15: No?
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 17: I mean I'm looking at the names as you were talking,
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 17: you know, like Steven.
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 4: A is on there.
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 3: Obviously he deserves to be on that list. Absolutely, yeah.
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 17: But then there's people I don't even know who they
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 17: are to read the explanation of who they are, and
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 17: then even then I'm not exactly sure I are, but
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 17: we're not on the list. Some guy named Aaron Drew Schulz.
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 17: Do you know Andrew Schulz is absolutely yeah, Okay, there
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 17: you go.
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 3: He's a podcasts he's the comedian. He's Andrew Schultz. You
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 3: know he's a comedian. Yeah, he's on the squad. So
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 3: he's a bigger deal in New York than me. No,
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 3: that's not what I said. I can't walk into a
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 3: restaurant without somebody wanted to give me a free meal
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 3: and free drinks. You think Andrew Schultz get you the
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 3: same way you think when the Mets play the Yankees,
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 3: Angel Schultz will be sitting next to Steve Cohen tonight,
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 3: or Randie Lovin will having the suit in the Bronx suite.
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about? I'm sorry, I know who
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 3: he is, but there's nobody bigger than me. I've got
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 3: the President. I've got the President on the phone for
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 3: forty five minutes. I'm being wooed by both major baseball organizations.
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 3: I'm a legitimate superstar. Oh, in God's name is Angel Schultz?
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 3: I have no idea who he is.
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 8: Actually, shut up now that I think about it, Yeah.
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 3: Don't tell me you're downloading this podcast. Yeah, no, not
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 3: at all. And again he wasn't. The only name is
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 3: like twenty guys I ever heard of on that list,
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 3: like twenty of them, twenty. So the Hollywood reporter can, well,
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 15: Gonna say it.
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, now, go ahead, blow me nice nice, nice,
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 3: good shots kosher.
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 3: I guess we'll take a break. When we'll get back,
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 3: we will talk about the treatment. I'm gonna make you
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 3: some money. You want the winning Coranella trifect, the winning
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 3: horse in tomorrow Freakness. I mean this stick around Dick Girardi,
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 3: he's called them all the last forty five years.
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 3: Sure, Ritnvault will Golden Tempo Race this weekend.
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 18: He will not. He will not be entered in the Preakness.
• 2:24:18
  Speaker 3: And does it come down to what you talked about
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 3: with me just two days after on Fox News this
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 3: weekend that the horse is just used to running longer distances,
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 3: right now, or is the horse tired? What is what
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 3: is the main reason why he's not going to run
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 3: this weekend.
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 18: It's a culmination of both. Ultimately what we decided, you know,
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 18: and chatting with the team, you know, the Zips and
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 18: Vinnie's team is we're looking for a campaign for the
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 18: whole year, and trying to squeeze a race in two
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 18: weeks just wouldn't be right for him to have the
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 18: bigger goal in mind, you know, we're pointing to the Belmont,
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 18: then we're pointing to the Travers, and then we'll after
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 18: the Travers, we'll reevaluate to see, you know, if we're
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 18: going to go into the Breeders Cup Classic. So it's
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 18: kind it's one or the other. Usually, in my opinion,
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 18: asking a horse to run back in two weeks and
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 18: then back in three weeks, it's a tough task. And
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 18: I'm not saying I'm I love history and I don't.
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 18: I'm not saying change a triple crown, but I'm saying
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 18: it takes a super unique and special horse to be
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 18: able to do it.
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 7: And I'm not saying that.
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 18: Golden Tempo isn't a really you know, isn't a high
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 18: caliber great horse, but I'm just saying coming back in
• 2:25:50
  Speaker 18: two weeks just isn't necessarily the best for him.
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 3: Golden Temple is owned by one of my best friends,
• 2:25:56
  Speaker 3: Vinnie Viola, who also owns the Florida Panthers. But you
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 3: heard Sherry there talk about, you know, two weeks is
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 3: not a lot of time. He went on to talk
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 3: about really how amazing horses like Seattle Slough and Secretary
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 3: at Affirmed and the last two Justify and American Pharaoh
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 3: are to win three of those races in seven weeks.
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 3: But she did talk about, as much as she loves
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 3: this sport, that maybe they should consider giving these horses
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 3: a little more time in between these races. Because now,
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 3: as it turns out, I don't blame Vinnie or Chari,
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 3: but there'll be no triple Crown winner this year. That's it.
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 3: It's dead. And the Saratoga the Belmont's gonna be a
• 2:26:38
  Speaker 3: big deal. It's in Saratoga, It's gonna be a huge deal.
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 3: And New York is gonna go nuts, probably one hundred
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 3: and fifty thousand large, but there'll be no triple Crown winner. Again,
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 3: let me talk to the best horse racing guy in
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 3: the world. I really believe that, especially since Saint Goldberg died.
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 3: My good buddy, Dick Girardi, he's back for every major race.
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 3: Ticket morning, buddy, Hawaii.
• 2:26:56
  Speaker 16: I'm good.
• 2:26:56
  Speaker 6: Shit, I bet you I'm great.
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 3: Now. You heard Schari. We got her on the show
• 2:26:59
  Speaker 3: twice two days after she won the Derby and just
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 3: today about Tomorrow's weakness, and she said, look, my horse
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 3: can't do it, you know, two weeks later. And he's
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 3: also used to running long distances. This is a shorter race.
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 3: But she did think the time a couple of weeks
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 3: in between races is an issue.
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 6: Look, I think Cheri reflects the modern way people look
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 6: at the top class Thurdbritz said, they just don't run
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 6: that much in two weeks and then back in three
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 6: weeks for the Belmont. Except during the Triple Crown. It
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 6: just doesn't happen. That's why we've had three of the
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 6: last five Derby winners not running the Freakness. So I
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 6: think we got to look at the schedule. The previous
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 6: should move four weeks back from the Derby and then
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 6: the Belmont four weeks back from that. Now that will
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 6: require cooperation among the racetracks at which doesn't always happen,
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 6: but yeah, that's what we need to do to reflect
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 6: the way people look at horses these days and look
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 6: Suri was extremely repressive in what she did. It was
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 6: awesome and I understand everything she's talking about her horse.
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 6: She knows her horse better than anyone. I'm sure they'd
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 6: love to be there, but they're trying to do what's
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 6: best for their horse, and it makes sense. O.
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 3: Vinnie loves his horses. You know, a couple of years
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 3: ago where you have the favorite forte fourte went for
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 3: a walk Kentucky Derby morning, stepped on a pebble and
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 3: he said, no, he's not going. People said, what are
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 3: you talking about? The favorite nup? So Vinnie and Teresa
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 3: down there at Saint Elias Stables in Florida, they really
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 3: love their horses. They care about the animals first, you know.
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 3: Forgetting about what I think, Dick or you or Sharie.
• 2:28:25
  Speaker 3: There's much more at stake here because the contract, the
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 3: TV contract for the Preakness is up this year and
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 3: I know both MBC and Box have it or they're
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 3: buying for it. And if you don't have a Kentucky
• 2:28:38
  Speaker 3: Derby Deby winter running in the Preakness, like you said,
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 3: has been the case three of the last five years.
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 3: You can pretty much guarantee yourself that the ratings are
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 3: going to be down, right, They're going to be down.
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like in the NBA games, you know,
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 3: when the coaches at the end of the year, Popovich
• 2:28:54
  Speaker 3: and Curt decide to bench their daughters because they're getting tired.
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 3: So forget about what we think. This is big money
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 3: TV contracts have to worry about this.
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 6: Correct, And I think that's why it's going to change
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 6: next year because look, as you said said NBC and
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 6: Fox both want the Preakness, but they don't want the
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 6: Preakness without the Derby wearer right right, it's just not worth.
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 3: Well, how much, oh do you do? You know, Dick,
• 2:29:15
  Speaker 3: I'm just curious. I'm passinated by this. When there is
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 3: no Derby winner running. Do you know how much percentage
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 3: wise those numbers are down.
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 6: I don't know the exact number, but it's substantial. And
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 6: keep in mind that Derby on NBC had twenty million viewers.
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 6: It was a gigantic number, one of the biggest, like
• 2:29:32
  Speaker 6: in modern times for any horse race. So you want
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 6: to have that momentum right, going into Maryland in two weeks,
• 2:29:37
  Speaker 6: and they just don't have it. So NBC's look, they're they're
• 2:29:41
  Speaker 6: in the world of like producing shows, producing something that
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 6: people can follow. Well, you can't follow it if the
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 6: star of the original show doesn't show up for the
• 2:29:52
  Speaker 6: second act, right, So yeah, absolutely they whoever gets the
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 6: freakness is going to absolutely demand that they move the
• 2:30:00
  Speaker 6: date back, hopefully four weeks. I don't think three weeks
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 6: is enough sid again for modern third brids, so hopefully
• 2:30:07
  Speaker 6: maybe the first Saturday in June and then the first
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 6: Saturday in July at the new Belmont Park, which will
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 6: be around for the Belmont Stakes in twenty twenty seven.
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, let's be honest that Travers is great
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 3: and the Breeders' Cup is great, but you know, and
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 3: they're big races. They're big races, but the world only
• 2:30:23
  Speaker 3: cares about these three. You get nice audience. The others don't,
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 3: get me wrong, these three, So stretch it out. I'll
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 3: make it last a little longer. It's going to be
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 3: better actually, because there'll be more Dicchirarti interviews and jury
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 3: interviews and Bob Baffert interviews and Benny I think it
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 3: does make sense on a whole bunch of events, including the
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 3: health of the horses. And you mentioned the fact that
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 3: the Belmont will be run in Saratoga this year till
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 3: next year. Same thing with tomorrow's race, not at Pimlico,
• 2:30:50
  Speaker 3: about twenty five miles away. I think they also go
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 3: back to the regular track next year.
• 2:30:55
  Speaker 6: Is that right, that's the plan. Yeah, Pimlico is similar
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 6: to Belmont Park is under reaching detruction at this point.
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 6: They tore the old track down after last year's Freakness.
• 2:31:03
  Speaker 6: So yeah, Laurel Parker, for the people that don't know
• 2:31:05
  Speaker 6: the geography in Maryland said, as you said, it's twenty
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 6: five miles south, not ten miles north of Washington, d C.
• 2:31:11
  Speaker 6: That's where Laurel Maryland is.
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 3: Well, that's not too far. Okay. Well, not only is
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 3: Golden Topo not running, there's going to be three horses
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 3: from the eighteen horse Derby that well, three horses are running,
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 3: a bunch of not running. Oh Sally, which had a
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 3: very nice finish shot to everybody with that show finish,
• 2:31:30
  Speaker 3: is running in this race. But even the horse that
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 3: came in second in the Derby, that horse is Renegae.
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 3: That horse is not running either. So some of the
• 2:31:39
  Speaker 3: more recognizable names from the Kentucky Derby, along with the winner,
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 3: not even racing tomorrow.
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're not. They're waiting for the Belmont Stakes. The
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 6: horses have already gone up to Saratoga to get ready
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 6: for it. Todd Pletcher, of course trades Rennegade, who is
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 6: just second, and he has a stable up there, it
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 6: has for years. Incredibolt is finished sixth in the Derby,
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 6: four lengths back. He's actually at the moment said the
• 2:32:01
  Speaker 6: four to one favorite is bet online. O'celly's twenty three
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 6: to four. He's the horse as you said, he was
• 2:32:07
  Speaker 6: seventy to one. Actually took the lead in the stretch.
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 6: He's yet to win a race. And the third horse
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 6: coming back from the Derby is Robusta. He's more like
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 6: he's twenty five to one. But yeah, fourteen horse field,
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 6: complicated race, similar to the Derby, but without the same
• 2:32:22
  Speaker 6: kind of overall form that we had in Kentucky. I
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 6: think we had a better line on the horses coming
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 6: into Kentucky, frankly, than we did coming into Maryland.
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 3: All right, fair enough, Well, Dick, you do a great
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 3: job picking the horses on the show, and you got
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 3: a huge audience. I'm telling you a huge audience right now.
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 3: They want to know the three horses and you can
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 3: pick them in any What do you want that are
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 3: going to finish top three and tomorrow's preaking the steakes,
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 3: Dick Grardi? What do we like?
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah? I do not have as much confidence Sid for
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 6: your audience as I did in Kentucky. I still think
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 6: I had the best horse. Unfortunately my horse got injured
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 6: in the race. He took the lead in the stretch.
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 6: But everybody knows that story. Iron Honor, the nine, Chad, Brandon,
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 6: Flaby and Pratt, the seven I know you'll love this
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 6: name the hell we did and the two Ocelly in
• 2:33:07
  Speaker 6: that order. So nine seven to two and I'm gonna
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 6: give you a prop bet that I'm extremely competent in
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 6: at bet online over under one fifty five for the
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 6: time mile and three sixteenth Sid We're going over. This
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 6: will be over one fifty five. You can bet that with.
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 3: Competent And why is that is that? Because there's a
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 3: lot of speed but these horses, is is gonna be
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 3: a sloppy track tomorrow? Why is that?
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 6: There are it's a slower group of horses. The buyer
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 6: speed figure in the Derby was the lowest it's been
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 6: in history. It was only in ninety five. Typically we'll
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 6: have like one hundred and five and the surface at
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 6: Laurel in contrast to the surface at Churchill Downs, which
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 6: was extremely fast heading into Derby week is pretty slow.
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 6: So you combine all that, I think we're going over
• 2:33:50
  Speaker 6: one fifty five.
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 3: Over one fifty five and nine seven to two when
• 2:33:54
