  Speaker 1: This is seven to ten o R Boy, The Mark
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Simon Show starts.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Now, Hey, it's Friday. We've got through the week. We
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: got a lot to get to. Today, we'll get to
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: the loss of our great friend, the beloved Ernie and
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: ASTs we'll talk about him. We'll get to we'll give
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: you the very latest on the war in a couple
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: of minutes. We'll get to the save act that, we'll
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: get to crazy mom, Donnie, he's doing even more crazy stuff.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Speaking of crazy, that sheriff in the Nancy Guthrie case
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: sounding a little nuts and a little suspicious. We'll get
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to all of that coming up, and let's get you
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the latest on the war. Iran's new leader, son of
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the Iahtola, the new Iahtola, is now believed to be
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: not only wounded we kept saying as facial lacerations, it's
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: now believed he's probably disfigured. In fact, Secretary Hexath on
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: camera this morning, daring him to appear on camera and
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: let's see what he looks like. We know he lost
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a leg, we know he's been in a coma, severe
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: facial lacerations, but Hexith saying and he would have more
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: intelligence on this than anybody that he has disfigured, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: that's why written statements are coming out, and he has
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: not spoken publicly about anything. So we'll see what happens
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: with that. Straits of horn Moose will probably get reopened,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: probably next week. The attacks on these tankers are done
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: in two ways. One by drones which are unmanned and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: can be directed from far away drones with explosives. And
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the other thing is these speedboats loaded with explosives that
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: hit the tanker. Those are also unmanned and like a drone,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: can be controlled from many miles away. So you got
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to get rid of all this stuff. They're getting rid
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: of those speedboats one by one. You just got to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: take them all out. As far as drones, and these
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: are the most dangerous. Missiles are easier to blow up
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: stop because we can see the launchers, we can see
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: where they're launched from. We've taken out ninety percent of
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the missiles. Ninety percent of the missiles are gone. Drones
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: are tougher because you can't see them. They might be
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: hidden in a basement in a garage until they're suddenly
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: pulled out. But it's believed we've taken out ninety five
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: percent of their drones ran. Yesterday released a picture, a
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: photograph of a warehouse that they had filled with the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: state of the art drones, hundreds and hundreds of drones
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: in this warehouse. They released the pictures, I guess to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: intimidate us, but they're probably not thinking in the pictures
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: that they released. There's probably some tags in there, meta
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: tags data somewhere in the pictures that might give a
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: hint as to where they're located. So not too smart
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: on their part. Now, you've got to remember something at
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the end of a war, at the end of a war,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: casualties go way way up. Always at the end of
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the war with Japan, in the last few weeks they
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: went crazy fighting back. It's a last dying breath, last gasp,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and they killed more Americans in those last couple of weeks.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Something happened in Afghanistan. So when you see it ramping up,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: when you see more return fire, more cast that, that's
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: when you know they're in their last throws and dying.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: We lost four servicemen yesterday. Now this was not in
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a combat or fire or friendly fire. It was a
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: refueling plane that crashed, not in Iran, but in Iraq.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: They still haven't figured out what caused the crash, but
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: we lost four people. They would bring it up to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: about ten service people lost in the last few weeks,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: which is horrible. But you also have to remember, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: people aren't aware of this, we lose a lot of
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: servicemen and women without war, just in training accidents, about
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: thirty five a year. That's like three a month that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: we lose. It happens all the time with war without war,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: but it's just just terrible. They are less launches every
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: day of missiles and all that stuff. They are have
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: been st the president. We don't know what it is,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: but he is talking about unleashing weapons on Iran that
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: nobody has seen yet. He did that in Venezuela with
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: those combobulator bombs that just made everybody paralyzed instantly. So
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: there's apparently some stuff they're gonna unleash at any point
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: in Iran. And yesterday, it was last night on X
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and Twitter that he made that statement. That's got everybody upset. Now,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you got to remember, people that hate the president, they
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: go nuts when he says these crazy things. People that
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: love the president back what he's doing. But then sometimes
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: he'll say something and they'll go, oh God, why does
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he have to talk like that? Why does he have
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to say things like that? Well, that's the way he is.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: He will shoot his mouth off. He's not a politician.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: He's totally unfiltered. He will say things you're not supposed
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: to say. He'll talk in away you're not supposed to talk.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: But is the great New York legend, Robert Morgenthaw, who
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: was one of the smartest guys I ever knew. And
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: we were all together, Donald Trump, Robert Morganhal, myself, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of people. And when he'd leave the room,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Trump would leave the room. Sometimes people would say to Morgan, thought,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: what is it? Why does he have to worry? And
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Morganhaal would always say, and you should always remember this
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: rule he goes when it comes to Donald. Never listen
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to what he says. Just watch what he does. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: it's a good rule. Don't pay attention to anything he says.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Just watch what he does. And if you look back
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: on his track record, he gets it done, He gets results,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: He accomplishes things nobody ever thought would get accomplished. We
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: were talking about yesterday. Every president and politician for fifty
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: years promised to end our dependency on foreign oil. He
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: actually got it done. He did it, so he'll get
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: it done now. The other thing is you got what
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: they call the Pannikins as opposed to Republicans, the Panicans
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: who panic every time you're in the middle of something.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: You remember when the terriffs were first announced and the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: stock market plunged a billion points in five seconds and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: everybody was panicking. Well, it not only came right back
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: two weeks later, but it went to all time highs.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: It set new records. So it's the same thing here.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Oil prices will spike. Straits of her moose are closed.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: This has happened before with the straits of her moose.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of times in the past during wars,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: during the Gulf War, during the Iraq War, during this
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: war where you couldn't get through the straits of her
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: moose and ships were being attacked and ended up needing
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: navy escort. This has happened before. So you'll see this
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: spike and it'll all get resolved, and it'll spike will
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: go away. Not only will oil prices come down, they'll
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: hit all time lows. After all of this is over
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: to another rule to remember, don't follow the big Washington
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: experts or the media experts when they tell you about Trump.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: In fact, a good rule. A lot of gamblers have
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: figured this out. Whatever the experts tell you, bet against them.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Whatever Trump tells you, bet with them. Don't go with
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the experts. And what they tell you is going to happen,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: it won't happen. Now, there is an island called Carg Island.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: It's a little island, but it contains almost all of
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the oil refinery supplies, all the tanks of Iran. Carg
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Island is like ninety two percent of the oil export
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: capability of Iran. Everything is on Carg Island. We have
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: not hit it. That's a final, absolute last straw. If
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: we had to, if we took out Carg Island, that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: is the end of Iran as far as their economy.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: It would completely devastate their economy for decades. So we
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: haven't hit it. We could also seize it and try
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: to just take it from them, or we could also
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: just blow it up, and that's the end of any
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: hope of an economy ever ever coming back in Iran.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: So kind of crazy that they put everything on that
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: one island, but the president at some point will threaten
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: him with carg Island if they don't get a new regime.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: The crazy thing he said today was as she was.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Last night he put out a tweet that Iran was
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: threatening us again, and then he said on Twitter, this
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: is in writing, way do you see what they get
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: hit with tomorrow? And his exact words were, way, do
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you see what we do to these deranged scumbags tomorrow.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: You're not supposed to talk like that when you're a president.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I think the reason for it was, you know, these
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: old deep state guys, these Washington swamp people, they're all
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: yelling and screamage. The messaging is wrong. He's got to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: have the right messaging. You really don't. You can have confused,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: contradictory messaging. It's actually a great idea because it just
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: confuses the enemy. You don't want clear messaging because then
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the enemy knows where you are, what you're going to do.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: And when they say, well, he hasn't explained the purpose
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that you don't need to explain the purpose of this.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: You're talking about the Iotola, biggest terrorist in the world
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: with his death to America, tea shirt funding Hesbala the hoodies,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: every terrorist, everything on it. It's the biggest terrorist on earth.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: You don't have to explain why you took him out.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: That's pretty obvious. But you're not supposed to talk like
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: that with the range scumbag. You're not supposed to use
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: that kind of language. So what happened about thirty six
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: hours ago? So actually about twenty four hours ago, they
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: got I don't want to mention names here, but a
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: bunch of the inner circle of the president got some
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: of the wisest old Washington hands on how you're supposed
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: to talk in a situation like this, and the conference
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: tom in with President Trump to tell him how to
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: message this, how to address this, how to speak to this.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, these guys told me this. I said, first
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: of all, this is going to last ten minutes and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: they'll forget about it. But also, you know him will
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: probably go the opposode. I think that's what happened. This
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: was a reaction to that conference call, which he didn't
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: want to hear. So, hey, we'll get to Corey Lewandowski
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: coming up. He may have some real trouble. Hey. Arn Astes,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the legendary New York news man, was one of the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: finest people I ever knew. He was the nicest guy ever.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: You know that big, smiling, happy, positive Ernie you saw
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: on TV, Well, that was Ernie off the air every second,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: every day everywhere. Everybody that knew him loved him. Everybody
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: that ever worked with him loved him. I don't know
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: anybody else you could say that about, but people loved
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Ernie Anastes. He was a terrific guy, an excellent newsman.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: He came to New York. It was back in the seventies,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: and in those days, TV news, local TV news was
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: a very big deal. It's not anymore. Very few people
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: watched the six or eleven o'clock news. It's not a
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: big deal. They're lucky if they have, you know, a
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: few hundred thousand people watching. But in those days, six
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: o'clock eleven o'clock news on Channel seven, Channel four, Channel two,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: millions of people would watch, and the anchors were getting
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: millions of dollars a year, and it was a big deal,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: and those anchors were of amazing quality. You go back,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: you look at can you name the anchors on Channel
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: two right now? No, who's the six o'clock news anchor
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: on Channel four? I don't know. Nobody knows. I watch it,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know who it is, nobody knows whether people.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: You don't know who they're, nobody knows who they are. Nobody.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: So back then it was Legends, it was Channel seven,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: it was Roger Grimsby and Bill Butell really really really
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: top top newsman. And then even the rest of the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: cast it was Warner Wolf on Sports, Storm Field in
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the Weather. And then the young guy that came in
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: there to join the group was Ernie Anastes, and he
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: was everywhere. He was a Channel two for a while,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Channel four, not Channel four, Channel two, Channel seven, then
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Channel nine, then Channel five, and a great guy in
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: real life. He had been a DJ when I was
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: a little kid. I remember hearing this DJ on the air,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Ernie Andrews. I found out later that was Ernie Anastes.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: At that time they want am using his name. But
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: he was an honest, decent broadcaster you could trust. And
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: he always talked about that.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: If you have a sense of your purpose, it doesn't
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: have to be some lofty thing. It just could be
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: a sense of this is why I'm here, I'm making
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: that's why I'm here, this is why I live that's right.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I'm making a difference somehow. That's how I feel about
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: my work.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: And you hear the way you talk. You always had
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: that smile in his voice, that positive smile in his voice.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping that maybe, you know, we'll say, Okay, we'll
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: strike the balance. Let's give them the news, put it
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: in a right perspective, but also give them some other
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: positive things to think about, so we can feel that
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: there is some There's a keyword, hope.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Hope.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, if we lose hope, we've lost everything. And I'll
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: say one last thing, may Angelo, she was wonderful and
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: in terms of like what we do.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: People may not remember.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: What you said or what you did, but they'll remember
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: how you made them feel.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Now here's another thing about and you don't see this anymore,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and you, Ernie ass very well for about I don't know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: thirty years. I probably had lunch with them five million times,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: dinner with them a billion times, talk to them trillions
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: of hours, and yet I still have no idea where
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: he stood politically. I have no idea if he was
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: a Democrat or Republican. I don't know if he liked
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Trump like he was absolutely neutral that's the way he's
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: supposed to be as a newsman. You know him back then,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: you really didn't. You know, you could watch Johnny Carson
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: every night, five nights a week for twenty you didn't
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: know where he stood politically. You could never tell Jay Leno,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: who always did political jokes every night, but you still
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: you couldn't tell. Is he a Democrat as a republic
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: couldn't tell. And that's really the way it's supposed to be.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: But he was an amazing, amazing guy. Funeral will be
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: on Monday in Westchester. He lived in Westchester, was in
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: New York all the time, was here all the time
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: at w O R Hey. Check out my Instagram. There's
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: some Ernie pictures and some Ernie video up there. Mark
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Simone NYC at Instagram and a lot of great tributes yesterday, day, today,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: this morning, just endless tributes to Ernie an Astes, really
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: really great guy. Remember yesterday were talking about Bill O'Reilly.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It was the day before Bill O'Reilly was on You
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: remember that clip you've seen that video where the control
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: room screws up and he's screaming at him and he goes, what, well,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: don't live Remember that and I pointed out, that's every host,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: every anchor man ever in television, the nicest ones, the
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: worst ones. There's always a moment where the control room
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: is screwing up like crazy and the anchor will start
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: yelling and cursing at it. It happens not all the time,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: but once in a while. Every host, every host, and
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: anchor has done that at some point, except if there's
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: one guy that didn't do it. I think it was
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's ever yelled at anybody ever, maybe Regis,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: maybe Regis too, but those are at least the one
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: exception was amazing. We'll take some calls in a minute.

  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the
• 15:00

• 16:27
  Speaker 5: The operations in Ivan, the military, naval and Air Force
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: operations have been going great. My concern is about the
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: There was a report last week about California being.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Hit with Yeah, let me just clear that up. The
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: report is totally false, apparently totally false. ABC News getting
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of flak from the White House for spreading
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: that story. Absolutely, I missed.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I missed that because Israel got hit with drones with
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: cluster bombs that there.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Are no no we know that the cluster bombs hit.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: But here it is Caroline Levitt yesterday going after ABC
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: news completely false report about a possible drone strike against California.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: White House spokesman called the report totally misleading, totally false,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: and there's no credible threat from anything anything to do
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: with that. ABC News has yet to apologize for it.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark guess Mike.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I used to work over at the CBS building there
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: for many many years, and there was a small restroom
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: in away from the studios that I would use invariably
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: I'd go in there and there would be Ernie doing,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: you know, putting his own powder on. He wasn't makeup
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: per se, it was his powder and combing his hair
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: in the in the in the mirror, and it was
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: just like just showed how, you know, how down to
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: earth he was. You know that he wasn't one of
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: these criminatas in the Makeup chapter seven Hours like some
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: of the others over there, you know, and it was
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: always are always got to kick out of it. Yeah,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: there he is.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wonderful.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a guy of his stature, you know, especially.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: All right, Mike, great call. Yes, some guys, some of
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: the biggest stars like to do their own makeup. The
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: real reason is I do this myself. I put my
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: own makeup because if you sit in that chair, they're
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: all great, these makeup artists, they're really great. But you'll
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: be there for an hour and they'll put forty seven
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: thousand things on your face. They'll put endless stuff all
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: over your face. And then you need, like after the show,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you need easy off, like to get it off. It's
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: impossible and it goes all over your shirt and it's
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: a mess. But and most big, big, big, big, long long,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: long time TV stars they knew exactly what they wanted
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: for makeup. They didn't want to have to explain it
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: to the makeup artists. They knew they want Max Studio
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: fixed thirty. Right here, I'm twenty five on this part
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: of their face. Let's go to Mike and bayside. Mike,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: how you doing, Hey.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Deflarian asked, this was a ridiculous legend.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: It's kind of like a guy that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: You if you wanted the truth, you put him on.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: And actually last night I was.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Having dinner with my mother and her girlfriend and.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: They were devastated to hear that he died. Like you know,
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: older people, and you know you're talking about Johnny Carson.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: You know, it would be great to have him around
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: to deal with because he doled it out.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Fifty to fifty, so he would he would definitely.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Make fun of Trump, but he would definitely make fun
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: of TDS people at LGBT, like he would kill both sides.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: And yeah, that's the idea. You know. The only person
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: who does that today Jimmy Fayla. He got a great
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: show here every night at nine and Saturday nights on
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: the Fox News Channel ten o'clock. He does an opening monologue.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: It's exactly like Carson fifty fifty, just like Jay Leno.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Half the jokes about the Democrats, half the jokes about
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: the Republicans. Now nobody knew if you could watch them
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: every night for twenty thirty years. Jay Leno, Johnny Carson
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: still had no idea where they stood politically, no idea.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: And if you knew them, like I said about Ernie
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: knew him as well, it was like I know anybody, I
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: have no idea where he stood, blutely no idea. I
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: knew Johnny Carson. I got the feeling that in real
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: life he was slightly, like a million of them inch
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: to the left of center. But that's about it, Jay Leno.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I from knowing him, I think was slightly, maybe a
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: billionth of a point to the right of center. But
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: otherwise you couldn't tell. Let's go to Bonnie and Tom's river. Bonnie,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: Hi, good morning, how are you good? My question is,
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: you know, with these shut well shut down it's so ridiculous.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: Can't they put into law that whoever requests the shutdown
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: goes without pay just like everybody else.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good idea. People have talked about that
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: if there's any kind of government shutdow where people aren't
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: getting paid, Congress should stop getting paid. It's a very
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: very good idea would definitely speed things up. By the way,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: this is Friday. At the end of the week, this'll
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: be the first week where DHS employees don't get a paycheck.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Things were in place to keep them paid for a while,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: but this will be the first day TSA DHS don't
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: get their paycheck. We'll talk about the next hour, the
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: ridiculous shutdown that's going on now. They got to get
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: this fixed in the next couple of weeks because the
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: second week of April, their Congress has gone for Easter,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: and I think they're gone the first They're gone like
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: the first two weeks of April, so they really only
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: got two weeks left to fix this. Hey, when we
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: come back to Great Entertainment Reporter Roger Friedman, we'll talk
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: about the oscars and a whole lot more just ahead
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: on seven to ten wor here's more marks alone on
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: seven to ten wor Well, Roger Friedman, The Great Entertainment
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Reporter is website is Showbiz for one one dot com.

  Speaker 2: You should check it out everyday news stories, great stuff,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Showbize dot com. Roger Friedman, how.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: You doing, I'm great. How are you this morning?
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I'm good. Hey, you must have known Ernie Nastis.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: I didn't really know him, but I loved him. Everyone
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: loved him. The outpouring of love for him is amazing.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: I mean I met him a couple of times. I
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: see some nice pictures of you on Instagram with him.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was well you met him, you know,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: he was just a very happy guy. He kind of
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: put a positive globe and every room he came into.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and he was also what a career. I mean,
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: he was so popular. And you know, tastes change in television,
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: the television world and television news, and they're also looking
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: for the next big thing. But he was always the
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: next big thing because he did eleven years at one
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: station than twelve years at another station. So it was
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: like even when he you know, he just kept going
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: and going and going, and people loved watching him.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: But there's no more big thing than local television. You know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: in the good old days, you had Chuck Scarbough, Roger Grimsby, Bill,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: but tell you don't have that anymore. You can't.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I missed Roger Grimsby.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Bill, Butell was a great guy.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, did you know him? Yeah, Bill,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: he was a lovely He was a lovely guy, very.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Stern, somber newsman. But off the air was like this
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: wild nightclub guy. He was a lot of fun.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he was just very He was a lot of fun,
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: very nice and a real newsman. But Ernie and asked
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: this was he was really the like the epitome of
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: New York. And they don't say why he passed, what
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: happened to him, But I hope he didn't have a
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: bad time.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I'd been sick for a little while and the final
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: cause was pneumonia.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Was yeah, but look at the outpouring of love for
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: him on all the stations last night and on all
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: of our social media.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: It's just great. I mean, it's that's very rewarding.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: You know, hey, let's talk about the Oscars. It's Sunday night,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: the big Oscar ceremony. You know, Yes, like local TV news,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: you knew every name, you knew the big anchors. Now
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: you don't know who they are. Same thing with the Oscars.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: You had the list of presenters. I don't know who
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: half these people are.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the list of presenters this year surprised me. But
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: I actually wrote about this a few months ago because
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: you could already tell that the actors who were going
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: to be nominated weren't that well known or weren't big
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: movie star movie stars, you know, and there was like
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: not a lot of glitz.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: So I kept saying months.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: Ago they better get in a lot of the old
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: Hollywood stars or the very well known brand name stars
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: while they're still alive, and get them in there to present.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: But they didn't get any of them. The only thing
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: they're going.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: To have that I know of so far is that
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: Barbara Streisand is going to speak for like a couple
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: of minutes about Robert Redford. But otherwise, and they certainly
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: my joke was My joke was for the in memorium.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: They were not going to get Woody Allen for Diane Keaton.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I hate to break it you, but nobody under thirty
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: five is going to know who Barbara Streisand is.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: No they do. She's like a big star, I don't
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: think so.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: You have you have.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: A list of stars.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: When we were younger, we look forward to seeing Gregory
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: Peck and you know, Myrta Lloyd and all these great
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: stars come and give some glamour to the Oscars.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: That's what it's supposed to be about.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: But you know, the Oscars don't have that much glimber
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: anymore because people don't live in Hollywood.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: They don't live in Los Angeles.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: There isn't much production in Los Angeles and it's straining
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: for the movies, you know, to find a huge auguences.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you what I'm excited about is maybe next
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: year's Oscars because Steven Spielberg has this movie coming out
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: in June called Disclosure Day, and they just dropped the trailer.
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: I have it on Showbiz four one one. This movie
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: looks fantastic. This movie looks like a return to Steven Spielberg,
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: you know, to et Close Encounters.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: And I can't wait to see it. And I'll bet
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: it's a huge, huge hit.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: What's a movie about.
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: It's a about UFOs and apparently, and the disclosure is
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: that they're finally going to tell the truth about whether
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: there have been UFOs, whether they've been aliens on Earth
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: for the last eighty years, and it's going to make
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: the UFO, you know, conspiracy people go crazy, absolutely crazy.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: There's a show on the radio overnight, do you. I
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: don't know if you ever listened.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: To it, Saucer Show. I don't really get to hear it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I love that show, but normal people don't want to
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: hear that. You know.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: People call it and they say they've been abducted by aliens,
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: they're up in spaceships, they've had meetings with them, and
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: this movie is going to make those people. It's going
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: to activate those people all over the world. I mean
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: that Coast to Coast should really have Steven Spielberg on.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: But the movie looks fantastic and it looks like the
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: cousin of Close Encounters, but even more like you know, serious.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: As far as the Oscars go this weekend, you know, yeah,
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: So it's very strange the presenters are. They're going for
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: very young and everyone's everyone's under fifty or fifty straining it.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: But they don't have any of the big, big stars.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: And I'm afraid that the biggest part of the show
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: is going to be the memoriam because you're going to
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: have Redford, Keaton, Gene Hackman, You're going to have all
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: these big people who died during the last year. And
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: that's a downer, do you know what I mean?
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, the only Oscar movie I saw was Marty Supreme.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Is that going to win anything?
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: Marty Supreme is a flashpoint now because Timothy Challome, the
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: star for a long time, was in the lead to
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: win Best Actor, but he has screwed up his Oscar
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: campaign in the most unhistoric way.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: First, he started appearing in orange outfits.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: They manufactured orange ping pong balls to go with it,
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: and everywhere he went. Plus he totes around Kardashian, this
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: Kylie Jenner, who Hollywood just can't stand, and she's always
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: dressed very trashy looking at all the award shows. He's
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: really killed his own career. And in the last couple
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: of weeks there's been like a monumental campaign against him
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: because he did an interview on CNN with Matthew McConaughey
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: and he said that he, you know, he made castigating
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: remarks about ballet and opera and said they, you know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: they weren't going to live on as forms of art.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: And this made everyone angry at him.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: So I feeling, have never been to an opera, ballet,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: What are they getting so uptight about?
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: Well, but they didn't like the idea, and I think
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: that you're going to see Samothy Talla may not win
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: the Oscar this Sunday, which would be too bad because
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: he really deserved it. But there are other the other
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: people in the category are really good. You have Leonardo DiCaprio,
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: who could certainly when Michael B. Jordan from Sinners, who's excellent,
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: and Ethan Hawke, who's amazing in Blue Moon, a movie
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: you should rent on video and demand. So Marty Supreme
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: may have ping ponged its way out.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Hey, we only got a minute left. What
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: about the Oscar parties? Did you write that they're kind
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: of downsizing a little the big parties?
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: Well, Vanity Fair, you know, Vanity Fair is not the
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: magazine that used to be, and they're struggling for circulation.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: They've lost a lot of money.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: They have a new editor who's very young, and they're
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: cutting the party in half, so they're moving to a
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: smaller locale and it's not going to be the big,
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: you know, pageant that it usually is. And yesterday the
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: editor did an interview where he said only people who
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: have who've won oscars can come, but the nominees should
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: forget it. So if you if you're not a different
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: Oscar and you lose, you can't come.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: So trying to create some fake cash for the party.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's it's not it's not.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: Vavey Fair had a crescendo over the last twenty years
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: with Oscar parties, and you know, fantastic, fabulous people. And
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: now they stop by, they take a picture on the
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: red carpet and then they go to dinner.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, if you want to read more, go to
