Speaker 1: Houstern, New York, Mark simone seven to ten, wor.
0:09
Speaker 2: Well, Hey, the president will address the country. Actually he'll
0:14
Speaker 2: take questions with the reporters. Will do that later today.
0:17
Speaker 2: That's coming up.
0:19
Speaker 3: It's already, I mean from the beginning of the strike
0:22
Speaker 3: on I ran from the beginning. He was speaking to
0:25
Speaker 3: reporters all along and answering questions from them. They were
0:30
Speaker 3: all a little surprised. Actually, he would answer, as they've
0:32
Speaker 3: had all his cell number. He would answer his phone
0:34
Speaker 3: and give them five minutes each, so, which is more
0:38
Speaker 3: than usually get in a press conference. So he is
0:41
Speaker 3: talking and will continue to talk all day about what's
0:44
Speaker 3: going on. The president also now saying it looks like
0:49
Speaker 3: originally we knew that we got forty of Iraq's leaders,
0:52
Speaker 3: we got the Ayatola and another forty leaders. Now that
0:55
Speaker 3: number is forty nine leaders of the country, the government,
0:59
Speaker 3: the military. Forty nine are now dead. The Ayatola had
1:03
Speaker 3: named Ali Lara Janni as his successor. I don't know
1:07
Speaker 3: if he's on the list, but that's who he had
1:10
Speaker 3: just in case anything happened to him. That's who he
1:12
Speaker 3: had always designated to be his successor. Ali Lara Johanni
1:16
Speaker 3: who's considered a brutal, awful as bad as the Ayatola.
1:21
Speaker 3: But we'll see, we'll probably announce that later today if
1:23
Speaker 3: they got him too. So it's been a tough time
1:28
Speaker 3: for Democrats. They don't know how to handle this. They
1:30
Speaker 3: don't know what to attack. As we were talking about earlier,
1:33
Speaker 3: the New York Times the Washington Post horrified everybody with
1:37
Speaker 3: their peaceful, gentle obituary for the Ayatola, describing him as
1:42
Speaker 3: a a cleric, a man who wrote poetry. He was
1:47
Speaker 3: the most brutal, evil barbarian on earth. That's how they
1:51
Speaker 3: described him. So if Hitler were killed today, the Post,
1:57
Speaker 3: the New York Times, Washington Post, New York Times would
2:00
Speaker 3: do the same thing. They would describe Hitler as a
2:02
Speaker 3: painter who was also a best selling author. So it's
2:05
Speaker 3: absolutely disgusting the behavior of the New York Times and
2:10
Speaker 3: the Washington Post.
2:11
Speaker 2: And then.
2:14
Speaker 3: You've got this television coverage. It's absolutely ridiculous. If you
2:17
Speaker 3: watch the Morning Joe kind of shows, all he keeps
2:21
Speaker 3: saying is there's no plan. If only he had a plan.
2:23
Speaker 3: He doesn't have a plan. Why doesn't he have a plan? Well,
2:26
Speaker 3: I guarantee you they've got plenty of plans. They've got
2:28
Speaker 3: a plan, a very specific plan. You know how they
2:31
Speaker 3: always like to when they talk about Trump, they always
2:33
Speaker 3: like to say he said without evidence that, well, they're
2:37
Speaker 3: all talking without evidence.
2:40
Speaker 2: Now.
2:40
Speaker 3: The reason, I think one of the reasons Trump is
2:42
Speaker 3: so successful when it comes to military operations in the past,
2:47
Speaker 3: the way it's always done traditionally, when a president wants
2:49
Speaker 3: to take military action, there comes a time, a moment
2:52
Speaker 3: where the generals come in and you know, they present
2:56
Speaker 3: you with three options. It's always three for some reason.
3:00
Speaker 3: They give you three what they call cohah's stands for
3:04
Speaker 3: course of action, three courses of Actually, they lay it
3:06
Speaker 3: out for you. Here's the three and you pick from
3:09
Speaker 3: one of the three options they give you. That's always
3:12
Speaker 3: the game, it's always the way it's done. But President
3:16
Speaker 3: Trump is the first president not to do that. You
3:18
Speaker 3: don't come in with your three options, but he's going
3:20
Speaker 3: to pick them apart, customize them. And when you lay
3:24
Speaker 3: at your options, he's gonna say, well, what about this,
3:26
Speaker 3: what about that? Why can't you do this? Why can
3:27
Speaker 3: you He doesn't stick to their three options, and that's it.
3:31
Speaker 3: That's all you get to choose from. We'll see what happened.
3:36
Speaker 3: We're going to learn a lot more. Today we've taken
3:38
Speaker 3: out half their navy. A couple more days, we'll have
3:41
Speaker 3: eliminated the entire navy. We've taken out most of their
3:45
Speaker 3: probably about fifty percent of their missiles. We'll get the
3:47
Speaker 3: rest Republican Guard headquarters, all that stuff has been taken out.
3:52
Speaker 3: We're destroying all their military capabilities. President has said two weeks,
3:57
Speaker 3: maybe four weeks. Israel, US, other countries, the Saudi's, others
4:01
Speaker 3: all taken out every piece of military, everything they have.
4:05
Speaker 3: They will no longer be a threat to anybody. And
4:08
Speaker 3: we'll see who emerges from the rubble to take charge. Hey,
4:14
Speaker 3: let's talk about Let's talk about our old buddy, Neil Sidaka.
4:18
Speaker 3: He was a wonderful guy. He was, you know, I
4:21
Speaker 3: don't know if to tell you how talented the guy was.
4:23
Speaker 3: Started very young, first writing songs in the Brill Building
4:29
Speaker 3: that was over at forty ninth in Broadway, the famous
4:31
Speaker 3: Brill Building, and all the great songwriters were there, Burt
4:35
Speaker 3: Backrack and Hal David and Carol King and Neil Sidak
4:41
Speaker 3: and all these people you know, all the other names.
4:43
Speaker 3: You know, all their writing in the Brill Building, although
4:45
Speaker 3: they all told me nobody ever actually wrote in the
4:48
Speaker 3: Brill Building. Oh when you first started, when you were,
4:52
Speaker 3: you know, an eighteen year old, nineteen year old Neil Sadaka,
4:54
Speaker 3: he went and worked in your little cubicle in the
4:56
Speaker 3: Brill Building. But as soon as you had to hit
4:58
Speaker 3: her to and made a lot of money, you didn't
5:00
Speaker 3: go to the Brill Building anymore. You wrote the songs
5:02
Speaker 3: in your beautiful, plush apartment. Neil Sidaka did that. Burt Backrack,
5:07
Speaker 3: Al David fifty seventh and Second Avenue, the Excelsior, beautiful
5:12
Speaker 3: apartment building, stunning at the time. That's where they wrote
5:14
Speaker 3: all those songs. But Sadaka was a great songwriter, and
5:20
Speaker 3: he finally had a hit record. But I mean just
5:23
Speaker 3: listened to some of his early sixties and all those
5:25
Speaker 3: early sixties hits and it was huge. But then he
5:27
Speaker 3: kind of disappeared, like the Four Seasons, Frankie Valley, like
5:31
Speaker 3: a lot of those people just kind of disappeared in
5:33
Speaker 3: the late sixties as everything changed, you know, it was
5:37
Speaker 3: more rock and roll, like, you know, all that hippie
5:41
Speaker 3: music and all that. So the beautiful early sixties stuff
5:44
Speaker 3: went away. But he made an incredible comeback in seventy
5:47
Speaker 3: five thanks to Elton John. It was Elton John that
5:50
Speaker 3: helped gi him a record deal. Elton John was a
5:52
Speaker 3: big fan and he wrote Love Will Keep Us Together,
5:56
Speaker 3: Captain until huge hit. But then Sadaka had Laughter in
6:00
Speaker 3: the Rain, big big hit, and then brilliantly decided to
6:05
Speaker 3: do it again a second hit with breaking Up his
6:09
Speaker 3: hard to do, but he did it as a ballad,
6:12
Speaker 3: and then Bad Blood. All these seventies hits made him
6:15
Speaker 3: huge all over again. Yeah, and he was a great
6:18
Speaker 3: guy in real life. I spent a lot of time
6:19
Speaker 3: with him through the years. He's a wonderful guy. Lived
6:22
Speaker 3: fifty eighth in Park and he'd go to all the
6:25
Speaker 3: finest gallows and everything in the tuxedo, but he'd also
6:28
Speaker 3: s daytime. He'd be in a diner, a coffee shop.
6:30
Speaker 3: He was a fun guy. Wherever he was somebody's house,
6:35
Speaker 3: a restaurant. You'd always go to the piano, start playing
6:38
Speaker 3: and singing. And when he'd sing Laughter in the Rain,
6:40
Speaker 3: and what sounded exactly like the record, It was unbelievable,
6:43
Speaker 3: how it was uncanny the way he could recreate the record.
6:46
Speaker 3: And he was on my show all the time. For
6:49
Speaker 3: weeks and weeks and I mean months years. He was
6:52
Speaker 3: on like thousands of appearances. Here's just one I found.
6:58
Speaker 3: We were talking about the early sixties. You know there
6:59
Speaker 3: was some only one hit wonders, and I asked them
7:01
Speaker 3: about that.
7:02
Speaker 2: Tell me about let's go back to the early sixties
7:04
Speaker 2: in those days, and you had what they used to
7:06
Speaker 2: call these one hit wonders. You know, they have one
7:09
Speaker 2: huge hit like little Eva, look, look, emotion, and then
7:14
Speaker 2: how come people like that just don't have another hit
7:16
Speaker 2: after that?
7:17
Speaker 4: That was my fear that I was going to be
7:18
Speaker 4: a one shot wonder. I remember telling Donny kershe if
7:23
Speaker 4: I could be as big as Jimmy Bowen and Buddy Knox.
7:27
Speaker 4: But everybody had that fea. What happens is you don't
7:33
Speaker 4: have the material, you don't have the stemina, you can't
7:37
Speaker 4: can't keep up at the time. You do the same
7:40
Speaker 4: thing over and over, and you don't show any freshness
7:43
Speaker 4: or creativity.
7:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, if you're that big, Let's say
7:46
Speaker 2: you're the Toys and you sing the Lovers Concerto, you
7:48
Speaker 2: got a big number one record, you think you could
7:50
Speaker 2: find another song somewhere.
7:52
Speaker 4: You think so, but the record business was very pickle.
7:57
Speaker 4: It was very changeable. It depends on the promotion or
8:02
Speaker 4: radio plays. You know, if a guy walked into the
8:06
Speaker 4: studio and schmidt a little.
8:08
Speaker 5: In those days.
8:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, even though you were a huge start and
8:12
Speaker 2: you had these hit records, you actually had a fear
8:14
Speaker 2: that maybe it would end at some point.
8:16
Speaker 5: I was afraid at the beginning. But you know, I
8:21
Speaker 5: wasn't a rock and roller who could.
8:23
Speaker 4: Play four chords on the piano. I had a great
8:27
Speaker 4: background in the theory and harmony, and yes, I was
8:32
Speaker 4: a concert pianist.
8:33
Speaker 5: And it was it was. And also I sang in
8:37
Speaker 5: five languages.
8:38
Speaker 4: In those days, I used to sing, and I was
8:40
Speaker 4: the first rock and roller to go to many foreign
8:42
Speaker 4: countries and sing in their language.
8:44
Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't know that. Now I've also seen you
8:47
Speaker 2: were Sometimes you just literally in somebody's living room and
8:49
Speaker 2: you'd sit at the piano and play and sing laughter
8:52
Speaker 2: in the rain, and you'd sound exactly like the record.
8:55
Speaker 2: Now a lot of artists can't do that. They din't
8:56
Speaker 2: never sound anything like their record when they're in concert.
8:59
Speaker 4: Well, I've been very lucky, I do, if I may
9:01
Speaker 4: say so, have a remarkable voice.
9:03
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, it never has changed.
9:06
Speaker 5: I take good care of myself.
9:07
Speaker 4: I get enough sleep, I get enough exercise, and I
9:10
Speaker 4: don't abuse my voice. I'm going through next year as
9:13
Speaker 4: my fiftieth anniversary and I still have the same voice.
9:16
Speaker 5: I can get into a taxi in New York and
9:18
Speaker 5: the driver won't even turn around.
9:20
Speaker 4: He'll say, Neil Sadaka, I can tell by your voice.
9:23
Speaker 2: Well, you're right, that's a those things. One of the
9:25
Speaker 2: few singers that when you talk, you sound like when
9:27
Speaker 2: you're singing.
9:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, Tony Bettels, you know what's funny.
9:33
Speaker 3: The biggest hit he ever had in his career, the single,
9:37
Speaker 3: biggest hit people in America never heard. It was actually
9:42
Speaker 3: in Great Britain. I'm trying to see if I can
9:44
Speaker 3: find it here. I mean it was a guy named
9:49
Speaker 3: Tony Christie. Tony Christie was how do you describe me?
9:54
Speaker 3: He was like the Tom Jones of England at the time.
9:56
Speaker 3: He has similar voice, and Neil Sadaka wrote a song
10:01
Speaker 3: for him, is This the Way to Amarillo. It became
10:05
Speaker 3: the biggest hit in Europe and it was revived like
10:09
Speaker 3: in the two thousands in a video. Somebody put it
10:11
Speaker 3: in a video, became a hit all over again. It
10:13
Speaker 3: sold tens of millions of copies. It's in the Guinness
10:17
Speaker 3: Book of World Records. It's one of the biggest selling
10:20
Speaker 3: singles in the history of the world. And nobody in
10:23
Speaker 3: this country ever heard it. That's the one thing that
10:25
Speaker 3: bothered Neil Sadaka. Me said, here it is. It's a
10:28
Speaker 3: guy named Tony Christie. Well, if you listen there, you'll
10:32
Speaker 3: get addicted. Who downloaded? Is this the way to Ambarillo?
10:35
Speaker 3: Tony Christie? It was the biggest hit Neil Sadaka ever had,
10:38
Speaker 3: the only song he ever wrote that made the Guinness
10:40
Speaker 3: Book of World Records for sales. And it bugged the
10:43
Speaker 3: hell out of them that people in this country didn't
10:45
Speaker 3: know it. So he recorded it once and tried to
10:48
Speaker 3: make it a hit here and just didn't go anywhere.
10:50
Speaker 3: And I remember talking about it once and he said,
10:52
Speaker 3: well why couldn't it?
10:53
Speaker 2: I said, it.
10:55
Speaker 3: Doesn't work with you singing it. You sound like a
10:56
Speaker 3: New York City guy. You don't sound like a guy
10:58
Speaker 3: who's going to Amarillo. It's a country in Western song
11:02
Speaker 3: so and you can you can see a lot of
11:05
Speaker 3: great videos of this online. But Neil Sidaka downloads some
11:09
Speaker 3: Neil Sadaka put it, put it in your iTunes. He
11:12
Speaker 3: was an incredible, incredible guy. So what else mayor Mom
11:17
Speaker 3: Donnie putting out crazy, crazy, crazy statements about Iran, all
11:22
Speaker 3: these democrats. You'll see Connecticut has a really nutjob Senator
11:28
Speaker 3: Chris Murphy, and you got that total whack job Adam
11:33
Speaker 3: Shift and those Sunday shows. It's it's really irresponsible of
11:37
Speaker 3: ABC or other networks to put these guys on the air.
11:40
Speaker 3: You got to put some normal, reasonable people on the
11:44
Speaker 3: air on Sunday when you when you know the guy's
11:46
Speaker 3: an absolute left wing kook, whack job and elon omar,
11:50
Speaker 3: Chris Murphy an Adam Shift. You should not be putting
11:53
Speaker 3: him on the air in a time of war like that.
11:56
Speaker 3: It's just it's just not right. But they've been attacking
11:59
Speaker 3: him like crazy, Mom, Donnie'll gi him a little bit
12:01
Speaker 3: of a pass. He's twelve years old, he never had
12:03
Speaker 3: a job before, but there he was declaring this is
12:06
Speaker 3: the most illegal war.
12:08
Speaker 2: It's just in.
12:09
Speaker 6: Today's military strikes by the United States and Israel mark
12:14
Speaker 6: a catastrophic escalation in an illegal act of war.
12:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing illegal about it's certainly not It's only
12:21
Speaker 3: catastrophic if you're the Ayatola, if you're the Iranian regime. Now,
12:25
Speaker 3: the only fear is that they may have terror cells
12:30
Speaker 3: in the United States that could be activated. I don't know.
12:32
Speaker 3: I don't know, mom. Donnie was asked about that.
12:35
Speaker 6: In the security I've been in close contact with our
12:38
Speaker 6: police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are increasing agency
12:42
Speaker 6: coordination as well as patrols of sensitive locations out of
12:45
Speaker 6: an abundance of caution.
12:47
Speaker 2: Yeah.
12:47
Speaker 3: So there was one incident in Austin, Texas where a
12:50
Speaker 3: guy came into a bar and started shooting hit about
12:53
Speaker 3: ten or twelve people, and it turned out he was
12:56
Speaker 3: a guy who had in his car the Iranian flag
13:00
Speaker 3: and i ashole a T shirt, the Quran everything in there.
13:04
Speaker 3: But outside of that, we haven't seen any incidents. And
13:07
Speaker 3: all over the world we've seen mostly just about nothing
13:09
Speaker 3: but celebration and countries all over the world. Here in
13:12
Speaker 3: the US and in the Los Angeles massive celebration by Iranians.
13:18
Speaker 3: Now we have seen where was it a Columbia University,
13:22
Speaker 3: one crazy nut job, you know, yelling and screaming that
13:28
Speaker 3: the US is the evil. Yeah, here's Columbia University Anti
13:32
Speaker 3: Israel group. This is Columbia University. It's going to take
13:36
Speaker 3: them twenty years to recover their reputation if they ever
13:39
Speaker 3: do get it back. But here it is Columbia University.
13:43
Speaker 3: Anti Israel group posts death to America after the US
13:48
Speaker 3: kills Israel and Komene Columbia. Just write it off. It's
13:51
Speaker 3: a total disaster of a university. Just forget about it.
13:55
Speaker 3: Just wipe it out of your your mind. Don't even
13:58
Speaker 3: think about them ever again. Away, we'll take some calls.
14:01
Speaker 3: Next eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten
14:04
Speaker 3: is the number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
14:09
Speaker 1: Mister New York mar simone, he's on sevent ten.
14:13
Speaker 7: Woor.
14:15
Speaker 2: Well, let's take some calls. Let's go to Michael Upper
14:17
Speaker 2: east side. Michael, how you doing?
14:20
Speaker 8: Harry Mark goes good to hear you. Two quick things.
14:24
Speaker 8: Number one, did anyone ever tell you what Neil's doctors
14:30
Speaker 8: west name means?
14:33
Speaker 2: No? And I never asked? Go ahead.
14:36
Speaker 8: Means in Hebrew it means charity, all right, and gave
14:41
Speaker 8: money to Jewish charities and others. Number two, we strike
14:48
Speaker 8: against Iran happens a very interesting time. The holiday of Purham,
14:56
Speaker 8: the King of Hersia, going back to don'ts nor the king.
15:06
Speaker 2: Does. Fascinating and really thanks for all the information. Let's
15:10
Speaker 2: go to uh Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart, how you doing?
15:14
Speaker 5: Hey?
15:14
Speaker 9: Mark?
15:15
Speaker 10: You No, I just wanted to mention the phenomenal attack
15:19
Speaker 10: on Iran. The intelligence that it took to do what
15:23
Speaker 10: he's doing is unbelievable. And I don't believe people really
15:28
Speaker 10: appreciate the coordination with Israel and the intelligence that had
15:34
Speaker 10: to happen for the attacks to be effective. This is
15:38
Speaker 10: just I'm a Vietnam vet. My my son was.
15:41
Speaker 2: You're in Vietnam, Yes, sir, we're on our side.
15:47
Speaker 10: Yeah, yes, amazingly. But yeah, it's just it's phenomenal what
15:55
Speaker 10: is going on. It was like when all the pages
15:57
Speaker 10: blew up. I mean, who does that? But I have
16:00
Speaker 10: never I'm a history not and I have never seen
16:04
Speaker 10: an attack against the country like this, this effective and
16:09
Speaker 10: with so much intelligence. It is just unbelievable. It's unfathomable
16:13
Speaker 10: what had to go into this. Yeah, and I don't
16:16
Speaker 10: think people appreciate this. And I've been calling for this
16:19
Speaker 10: to happen for a long time. You know, Obama, Biden,
16:22
Speaker 10: they funded a Randy they gave him, you know, millions
16:25
Speaker 10: and millions of dollars and thank god, you know, Trump
16:28
Speaker 10: is doing what he's doing. And these Democrats have lost
16:31
Speaker 10: their minds. If there was a giant flash, you know,
16:34
Speaker 10: they'd be the ones complaining that Trump didn't do anything.
16:38
Speaker 10: It is just unbelievable. I just hope people appreciate what
16:41
Speaker 10: has gone into this very good point.
16:43
Speaker 3: Stuart, Hey, let me ask you some of me, A
16:44
Speaker 3: long time, longtime law enforcement guy. I haven't heard the
16:47
Speaker 3: name Nancy Guthrie in like two days.
16:49
Speaker 2: Is this no?
16:50
Speaker 10: In fact, I was thinking that while I was waiting
16:52
Speaker 10: for you, that that has taken.
16:54
Speaker 3: That off the off the so but I never there's
16:56
Speaker 3: nothing to report. What does this mean?
16:58
Speaker 9: Is it?
16:58
Speaker 2: No?
16:59
Speaker 10: No, there is And I think this guy, it was
17:02
Speaker 10: a spur of the moment thing. I think she was
17:04
Speaker 10: gone within a couple of days. Yeah, and they're just
17:08
Speaker 10: looking for a body now, they're looking for something. Just
17:11
Speaker 10: apparently he wasn't in the DNA database. So I think,
17:16
Speaker 10: you know, the truth will come out eventually, but I
17:18
Speaker 10: don't know where it is. But it's it's for him
17:20
Speaker 10: to throw out a glove with DNA. He's got to
17:24
Speaker 10: be completely idiotic.
17:26
Speaker 3: All right, Well, great call as always, Stuart, Thanks thanks
17:28
Speaker 3: for calling. Let's go to Steve Maywood, New Jersey. Steve,
17:31
Speaker 3: how you doing.
17:32
Speaker 2: I'm good Mark, how are you?
17:35
Speaker 7: Interesting fact about Neil Saidaka he found out recently in
17:38
Speaker 7: the seventies he had a little down peer and he
17:41
Speaker 7: worked in the UK on two albums and he had
17:43
Speaker 7: this backing band who produced and arranged all his songs.
17:47
Speaker 7: Actually who they became the band that his suggestion, He said,
17:50
Speaker 7: you guys are really good, the band ten CC. Yeah,
17:53
Speaker 7: they had a lot of hits in the seventies or
17:55
Speaker 7: bigger in England, but yeah, he suggested to them to
17:59
Speaker 7: form a band.
18:00
Speaker 3: Apparently, yeah, no, And you know, he did have this
18:02
Speaker 3: down period, like a lot of the early sixties artists.
18:05
Speaker 3: Late sixties weren't kind to them. So he was in
18:07
Speaker 3: England doing a lot of work over there. I played
18:10
Speaker 3: you that hit he had with Tony Christie. But he
18:13
Speaker 3: did a lot of work in England. That's where he
18:16
Speaker 3: got close to Elton John. And Elton John was a
18:18
Speaker 3: big fan of Neil Sadaka's and Elton John was the
18:22
Speaker 3: one that pretty much arranged the comeback with a record
18:25
Speaker 3: deal and all of that and that's where Laughter in
18:27
Speaker 3: the Rain launched that huge comeback. Let's go to Steve
18:30
Speaker 3: in Staten Island. Steve, how you doing okay?
18:34
Speaker 9: Mark, longtime fan. I used to be in radio myself,
18:37
Speaker 9: of course, not of your statue. But my Neil Sadaka
18:40
Speaker 9: story is I'm on the station in Montesello, New York,
18:43
Speaker 9: wsu well and one day I had the station, the
18:47
Speaker 9: booth was in the window and a car pulls up
18:50
Speaker 9: and I see Neil Sadaka get out and it turned
18:53
Speaker 9: out to be with his daughter Dara, and they motioned
18:56
Speaker 9: to me come in. We were brought him in. Next thing,
18:58
Speaker 9: you know, I'm into viewing them and they were trying
19:01
Speaker 9: it to douce the so call should have never let
19:04
Speaker 9: you go. And I believe they had an album and
19:06
Speaker 9: it was very nice, very interesting. He was very nice guy.
19:09
Speaker 9: But the punchline to my story is a year or two, Ludie, here,
19:12
Speaker 9: I am not in radio in those days, and I'm
19:14
Speaker 9: driving limousines. It's a company called sh Wire. Who am
19:18
Speaker 9: I picking up Neil oh family a few times, but
19:22
Speaker 9: he lived in Brighton Beach, I believe before he made
19:25
Speaker 9: it back with Sadaka's back album, I believe, and that's
19:29
Speaker 9: my story of a nice guy.
19:32
Speaker 3: Your radio station was Monticello, that's the Catskills, and that's
19:35
Speaker 3: where he began.
19:35
Speaker 9: In the Catskill Yeah right, Manti right, all right.
19:39
Speaker 2: Well thanks for calling and take care. Yeah.
19:41
Speaker 3: He began at the Catskill Hotels and the owner of
19:45
Speaker 3: the hotel had this daughter, Liba, who Sadaka fell in
19:48
Speaker 3: love with. They then got married. They were married all
19:51
Speaker 3: this time. She was the love of his life, Liba Sadaka. Hey,

20:42
Speaker 11: How you doing, mediocre? Mark Simone?
20:46
Speaker 2: Why mediocre?
20:48
Speaker 11: Look, you know, I'm not happy with this war.
20:52
Speaker 2: What are you? The New York Times? What do you, Chris?
20:55
Speaker 11: I think they are in favor of it. It's the Maga.
20:58
Speaker 3: Basse that isn't well, okay, the Maga base. But it's like,
21:04
Speaker 3: I mean, he is the most evil guy on earth.
21:06
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about Trump. I'm talking about the eyotola.
21:09
Speaker 11: Now that's the New York Times.
21:11
Speaker 3: Okay, the most evil guy on earth, the biggest sponsor
21:13
Speaker 3: of terrorism in the world, a brutal barbarian. It's not
21:18
Speaker 3: a bad thing to wipe them out.
21:20
Speaker 2: Is it?
21:22
Speaker 5: No?
21:22
Speaker 11: But these are I mean, there are a lot of
21:24
Speaker 11: bad guys in the world. Last year, two years ago.
21:28
Speaker 11: It's been Putin, Putin, putin, putin. How about Mugabe? Okay,
21:33
Speaker 11: he's not alive now. But we never felt it incumbent
21:36
Speaker 11: upon us to be going around slaying monsters around the world.
21:40
Speaker 11: The point is, and as you know, I mean, these
21:42
Speaker 11: are the same arguments that were made for the Iraq War.
21:45
Speaker 11: And I was one of the ones making them, except
21:48
Speaker 11: I never never cared about the weapons of mass destruction,
21:51
Speaker 11: other than to taunt the New York Times for Saddam
21:54
Speaker 11: Hussein violating the important UN resolutions. Of course I don't
21:59
Speaker 11: care about UN. But yes, it was Saddam was a
22:03
Speaker 11: bad guy. We're not taking out Thomas Jefferson. The Iraqi
22:07
Speaker 11: people were Western eyes and literates. They were being ruled
22:11
Speaker 11: by a lunatic. Wouldn't it be great to have an
22:13
Speaker 11: Arab Israel in the region. After nine to eleven, we
22:19
Speaker 11: had a lot of fanatics were sort of unleashed around
22:22
Speaker 11: the world. We did have terrorist attacks follow up terrorist
22:24
Speaker 11: attacks here in the US, so Iraq was a good
22:27
Speaker 11: magnet to lure them all and fight Americans there. I mean,
22:31
Speaker 11: the argument there instead of here did make some sense
22:34
Speaker 11: right after nine to eleven, because there were a lot
22:36
Speaker 11: of copycat attacks. Democracy didn't really work. We stayed there
22:41
Speaker 11: for twenty years. I would also say this was immediately
22:45
Speaker 11: after nine to eleven when cleaning up lunatics in the
22:48
Speaker 11: Middle East was a better idea. And furthermore, in the country,
22:53
Speaker 11: I mean, compared to what's happening to our country right now,
22:56
Speaker 11: the country in the year two thousand did not have
23:00
Speaker 11: we have forty million illegals. We hadn't just had a
23:02
Speaker 11: president who brought in to a minimum two million illegals,
23:07
Speaker 11: lots of them criminals, lots of them murderers and rapists.
23:11
Speaker 11: We didn't have all of the DEI policies on George Soros.
23:14
Speaker 11: DA's releasing bloodthirsty, heinous criminals throughout the country. We got
23:21
Speaker 11: a lot of problems, and Americans are being killed. They're
23:26
Speaker 11: not being killed by Iranians.
23:28
Speaker 2: Well, now, wait a minute. The there are a lot
23:31
Speaker 2: of dictators and barbarians in the world, but this one
23:34
Speaker 2: was exporting terrorism through the hoodies Hesba everywhere he could.
23:38
Speaker 11: Got too us. Oh my gosh, one to one millions
23:44
Speaker 11: of the illegals Biden let in are doing far more damage.
23:48
Speaker 11: I would to say nothing of the Latin American countries,
23:51
Speaker 11: primarily Mexico, also Colombia. Haha. We've taken care of Venezuela,
23:55
Speaker 11: importing drugs, killing one hundred thousand Americas of the year. Oh,
23:59
Speaker 11: I promise you, I can give you a spreadsheet with
24:02
Speaker 11: a lot of countries that are killing Americans, and Iran
24:05
Speaker 11: would come in about number fifty six.
24:07
Speaker 3: All right, but you must be happy at the way
24:09
Speaker 3: this is being done. Unlike Bush, who would have four
24:11
Speaker 3: hundred thousand troops staging on the ground. This is strictly
24:15
Speaker 3: an air campaign. There'll be no boots on the ground.
24:17
Speaker 11: That's good, right, I guess so I mean like the
24:21
Speaker 11: last attack, I hope. But part of what I'm saying
24:26
Speaker 11: to you right now it's like Schroedinger's cat. I'm trying
24:29
Speaker 11: to influence outcomes.
24:31
Speaker 2: Who's cat?
24:35
Speaker 11: You know about Schrodinger's cat?
24:38
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, does anybody in the control you know
24:40
Speaker 2: about Schrodinger? No, it's not just me. What the hell
24:43
Speaker 2: is Schrodinger?
24:45
Speaker 11: Well, it's a great concept, so I'm going to explain
24:47
Speaker 11: it to you in my in my idiotic, you know,
24:49
Speaker 11: non scientific way. It was about quantum theory and whether
24:53
Speaker 11: it's a wave or a particle. And Schrodinger was I
24:57
Speaker 11: don't know, he was probably a German backing his own theory,
25:01
Speaker 11: as I recall. But if if, if, and you thought
25:06
Speaker 11: I would know about this both ways? Not, because the
25:09
Speaker 11: bottom line is the important point. You have a cat.
25:13
Speaker 11: If if if the if the particles go off, the
25:15
Speaker 11: kit in the box, you can't tell the box the
25:18
Speaker 11: cat dies or the cat lives. But when you open
25:20
Speaker 11: the box, that changes what the outcome is. So you're participating,
25:24
Speaker 11: you the human by opening the box, looking to see
25:28
Speaker 11: is the cattle live or dead is part of what
25:31
Speaker 11: will determine whether the cat is alive or dead. So
25:34
Speaker 11: the general principle by scientific illiterates, by like me is
25:39
Speaker 11: that by observing and and inserting yourself into certain world events,
25:46
Speaker 11: you can change you can change their trajectory. So that
25:50
Speaker 11: is why I am behaving like Schrodinger's cat.
25:52
Speaker 9: By reminder, well, I'm.
25:53
Speaker 2: Going to try this on people today. You know you're
25:56
Speaker 2: behaving like Schrotinger's cat.
25:59
Speaker 11: No, that's not how you that the cat is either alive.
26:04
Speaker 11: Oh that's the conclusion to the experiment, which I just
26:08
Speaker 11: completely horribly described. But look google it. You'll get a clear, excellent,
26:14
Speaker 11: Well what's going to go out to lunch afterwards?
26:16
Speaker 2: But I guess I could stay here. Look do you
26:20
Speaker 2: think I would even spell Schrodinger to google it?
26:28
Speaker 11: If you miss spell Schrodinger but put cat after it.
26:31
Speaker 11: I am one hundred percent sure you will get this,
26:34
Speaker 11: this experience or this thought experiment.
26:36
Speaker 2: Well, you have used some big words on this show,
26:39
Speaker 2: but this one tops them all.
26:44
Speaker 11: As with the last attack when Trump claims we had completely,
26:48
Speaker 11: absolutely obliterated Iran's nuclear capacities. And you'll recall the MAGA
26:54
Speaker 11: base was heavily against it, including Charlie Kirk very strong opponent,
26:59
Speaker 11: Van and me others. And I maybe not, but I
27:03
Speaker 11: believe tapping Trump on the shoulder and reminding him of
27:08
Speaker 11: the promises he ran on, and that the MAGA base
27:11
Speaker 11: is not happy with this, though his donors and lobbyists
27:14
Speaker 11: may be thrilled. I think Reuters Reuters did a poll
27:19
Speaker 11: and only a quarter of Americans support this, so that
27:22
Speaker 11: may lead him to keep it.
27:24
Speaker 2: I would tru.
27:27
Speaker 11: Well, okay, but the Poles actually have been pretty accurate recently,
27:31
Speaker 11: well reidinate Silver, he explains it all. They've become shockingly accurate.
27:37
Speaker 11: Though it got you know, everything, All poles should be
27:40
Speaker 11: looked at somewhat skeptically. If we can get them to
27:44
Speaker 11: stop so that this doesn't turn into I mean, for me,
27:48
Speaker 11: Americans already dead for what? For what? I would really
27:54
Speaker 11: rather get the illegal aliens killing people, raping little girls
27:59
Speaker 11: off our government programs, getting them out of the country.
28:02
Speaker 11: We're getting You're okay, you got to admit the rest
28:05
Speaker 11: of the world.
28:05
Speaker 2: You gotta admit this first year he got more out
28:07
Speaker 2: than you probably figured he could.
28:09
Speaker 11: Right, yeah, not enough. It's he deported like six hundred thousand.
28:15
Speaker 2: That's a lot.
28:17
Speaker 11: Biden brought in two million. Well, I know they're just
28:21
Speaker 11: gonna say, now, because we're at war in Iran, we
28:25
Speaker 11: have to go clean up the rest of the world
28:27
Speaker 11: because they're not doing so well. Oh sorry, one hundred
28:29
Speaker 11: thousand Americans dying of drugs every year. We'll get to
28:32
Speaker 11: you with the next president ever, get to American Ice.
28:36
Speaker 3: Is out there right now, Tom Holman. They're working hard
28:39
Speaker 3: today and tomorrow they'll they don't stop. But what's what's
28:45
Speaker 3: the name of the guy with the cat?
28:46
Speaker 2: I forget.
28:50
Speaker 11: Cat. I'm telling you, Maximon, you're going to ask one
28:53
Speaker 11: of your friends about this, and they're going to laugh
28:56
Speaker 11: at you, laugh at you for not knowing what it is.
28:59
Speaker 2: I guaran to you.
29:00
Speaker 3: I don't know anybody who would know. Wait a minute,
29:03
Speaker 3: Schrodinger's cat. Nobody I know. I don't know any of
29:08
Speaker 3: those as Ross Barou would say, what did Ross Paros
29:12
Speaker 3: to say of some point he headed intellectual?
29:14
Speaker 2: I don't know any of those people.
29:18
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, there was another.
29:20
Speaker 2: Great man, all right, so and now, why aren't you
29:23
Speaker 2: here Wednesday? You're going away?
29:25
Speaker 11: Yes, I'm kind of taking the week off. But though
29:27
Speaker 11: I do have a boffo column coming. It is, it
29:30
Speaker 11: is mostly written. I just need to spruce it up
29:33
Speaker 11: a bit.
29:35
Speaker 2: And when will we see that? We have to wait
29:37
Speaker 2: to Wednesday.
29:37
Speaker 11: Wednesday and and graphic graphic language warning. Oh, quoting from
29:46
Speaker 11: emails I found in the Epstein files.
29:50
Speaker 3: Oh hey, I'm in the Epstein files.
29:52
Speaker 11: So am I? What are you in for?
29:54
Speaker 2: Nothing bad?
29:55
Speaker 3: He came to something I was the MC of And
29:57
Speaker 3: then somebody was emailing him about being on my show.
30:01
Speaker 3: Nothing bad, just harmless stuff. What are you in for?
30:04
Speaker 5: Yeah?
30:04
Speaker 2: Oh I think I saw you in there.
30:06
Speaker 11: People are bunch of my columns were being emailed around. Yeah,
30:10
Speaker 11: he's been on this case for a while.
30:13
Speaker 2: I think I remember reading you in there. Yeah.
30:15
Speaker 3: People were quoting to him things you had said on
30:17
Speaker 3: the air, that kind of stuff.
30:20
Speaker 11: Honestly my columns. Since I was writing about this and
30:23
Speaker 11: got to his credit, Bill O'Reilly was the only national
30:28
Speaker 11: TV host who mentioned breathed a word of this case
30:31
Speaker 11: back in two thousand and six when it first broke
30:34
Speaker 11: and da Barry Krusher was the first one to tank it.
30:37
Speaker 11: He's been a race from history. But O'Reilly led off
30:41
Speaker 11: with a segment on Barry Krishner. Oh, because Barry Krusher
30:45
Speaker 11: also came after Rush Limbaugh for two years deploring the
30:50
Speaker 11: resource that government yeah for for back pain medication. You'll
30:55
Speaker 11: notice in all the write ups of how did he
30:57
Speaker 11: get away with it so long? The media just insistently
31:02
Speaker 11: dropped the number one primary Villainy Krusher.
31:06
Speaker 3: Oh well, let's hey, when you come back next week,
31:08
Speaker 3: let's talk about that. That's an interesting story. But uh

31:41
Speaker 2: I looked it up here. Let me see.
31:44
Speaker 3: Schrodinger's Cat is a nineteen thirty five fought experiment by
31:47
Speaker 3: Irwin Schrodinger, illustrating the quantum concept of superposition, where a
31:52
Speaker 3: system exists in multiple states simultaneously until observed. I don't
31:57
Speaker 3: know what the hell I just said. Apparently he was
32:01
Speaker 3: some sort of nutjob physicist or his again, as Ross
32:05
Speaker 3: Bureau would say, some pointy headed intellectual. But I use
32:10
Speaker 3: it on people. That makes you sound very smart Schrodinger's cat. Anyway,
32:14
Speaker 3: we're out of time. It's going to be cold today,
32:16
Speaker 3: but then it's going to be warm every day. Now
