- 0:14Speaker 2: Hey, it's gonna be a summer day to day, bright sunshine,
- 0:18Speaker 2: eighty five degrees. It's gonna beautiful all week. We got
- 0:21Speaker 2: a lot to get to. I was the Camp David
- 0:24Speaker 2: cabinet meeting cancel. We'll get to that. We'll get to
- 0:26Speaker 2: President Trump's physical We'll get to the don Junior wedding.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Joe Biden is suing the Trump administration. We'll get to that.
- 0:33Speaker 2: We'll get to crazy Mom Donnie and all of his
- 0:35Speaker 2: latest schemes. We'll get to Colbert's latest venture that just
- 0:41Speaker 2: got announced, and a whole lot more coming up today.
- 0:46Speaker 2: So big cabinet meeting today, very big important cabinet meeting today.
- 0:51Speaker 2: I think this is the twenty second cabinet meeting, and
- 0:54Speaker 2: that's in two years. Joe Biden had I think one
- 0:57Speaker 2: and a half in four years, which he basically was
- 1:01Speaker 2: just sat there like a vegetable. Twenty two cabinet meetings.
- 1:06Speaker 2: But this one's important, This is a big one. It
- 1:09Speaker 2: was to be held at Camp David. Now that's very unusual,
- 1:13Speaker 2: very unusual. You know, it's a logistical headache to get
- 1:16Speaker 2: everybody to Camp David. President Trump hates Camp David. They
- 1:22Speaker 2: didn't hate it. It's not for him. It's very beautiful.
- 1:25Speaker 2: It's a beautiful, very elegant log cabin but as you
- 1:30Speaker 2: can imagine, Donald Trump not the log cabin type. It's
- 1:34Speaker 2: not his kind of setting. But the last time they
- 1:37Speaker 2: did a cabinet meeting there was last year. Now, why
- 1:41Speaker 2: was that cabinet meeting at Camp David. Well, it was
- 1:45Speaker 2: also very important and very top secret about Iran. It
- 1:50Speaker 2: was at that cabinet meeting that they decided on the
- 1:54Speaker 2: mission to blow up Iran's nuclear reactors. You remember, that
- 1:58Speaker 2: was quite a mission last year, kept totally secret. All
- 2:03Speaker 2: of a sudden it happened. It was decided at that
- 2:05Speaker 2: cabinet meeting, and then happened a day or two later.
- 2:09Speaker 2: So this was this cabinet meeting probably entails something like that,
- 2:15Speaker 2: some strong military something in Iran. Now, why move it
- 2:20Speaker 2: to Camp David. Surely the cabinet room as a total
- 2:25Speaker 2: privacy and security. Why can't you do it in there?
- 2:27Speaker 2: Well it does. It's very secure and it's very private
- 2:31Speaker 2: in the Cabinet room in the White House. However, when
- 2:34Speaker 2: the meeting's over, everybody has to leave and then walk
- 2:37Speaker 2: through the White House, which is filled with press, filled
- 2:41Speaker 2: with reporters, filled with all kinds of people, and that's
- 2:44Speaker 2: where a leak can happen. So that's the reason, if
- 2:47Speaker 2: it's really top secret, you move it to Camp David
- 2:49Speaker 2: because when they come out of there, they generally go
- 2:52Speaker 2: back to their office without there's no reporters at Camp David, nothing,
- 2:57Speaker 2: total privacy. So the cabinet member leaves, goes right back
- 3:01Speaker 2: to his office and has never seen a reporter the
- 3:03Speaker 2: whole way. So that's the reason you'd move it to
- 3:05Speaker 2: Camp David. Now why was it canceled today and switch
- 3:08Speaker 2: back to the White House. Well, they didn't want to
- 3:11Speaker 2: go back to the White House. But the problem is
- 3:13Speaker 2: the weather in Washington is brutal today, really really bad
- 3:17Speaker 2: rain and storms all day to day. So what that
- 3:20Speaker 2: meant was you couldn't get to Camp David by helicopter.
- 3:23Speaker 2: The visibility, the low ceiling, impossible to go with helicopters,
- 3:28Speaker 2: and that made it really, really really tough to get
- 3:31Speaker 2: everybody there. It would have had to been motorcades. And
- 3:35Speaker 2: President always goes to Camp David by helicopter if he
- 3:38Speaker 2: has to do a motor caid. They've had to do
- 3:39Speaker 2: it in the past, and the problem with these motorcades
- 3:42Speaker 2: it's a nightmare. And also you got to shut down
- 3:45Speaker 2: freeways and all kinds of roads. It totally screws up Washington.
- 3:49Speaker 2: So without being able to get everybody there and back
- 3:52Speaker 2: by helicopter, they decided against Camp David. It's a beautiful place,
- 3:57Speaker 2: Camp David, but again it's it's not a Donald Trump
- 4:00Speaker 2: got a place. It's rustic, it's a cabin, it's in
- 4:03Speaker 2: the woods. It was very important to a lot of
- 4:06Speaker 2: presidents because it's the only place a president can have
- 4:09Speaker 2: real total privacy. There's no Secret Service at Camp David.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Don't need him there. It's a military base. Actually it's
- 4:19Speaker 2: a military base. It's totally surrounded by Marines. Nobody can
- 4:24Speaker 2: get it in ro out, so once the president's in there,
- 4:26Speaker 2: the Secret Service can to leave them alone. Jimmy Carter
- 4:29Speaker 2: was going to close down Camp David. He thought it
- 4:32Speaker 2: was an unnecessary expense. He was trying to cut down government.
- 4:36Speaker 2: And he told Nixon, the outgoing president, and Nixon said
- 4:42Speaker 2: to him, don't get rid of Camp David. You're going
- 4:44Speaker 2: to really need it. If you need to be totally alone.
- 4:48Speaker 2: If you need to walk all by yourself without anybody
- 4:52Speaker 2: following you, without a detail behind you, if you want
- 4:55Speaker 2: to be totally alone, the only place you'll ever be
- 4:57Speaker 2: able to do that is Camp David, don't give it up.
- 5:00Speaker 2: It's going to be very important to you. And he
- 5:01Speaker 2: was right. Carter used it a lot. You know, when
- 5:04Speaker 2: you need to just go out in the woods all
- 5:06Speaker 2: by yourself, nobody within thousands of feet of you, and
- 5:09Speaker 2: just walk by yourself, it's important. But again, if you're
- 5:14Speaker 2: Donald Trump, that's the last thing you want. You always
- 5:16Speaker 2: want forty people talking to you at all times. It's
- 5:18Speaker 2: not his kind of place. So Cabinet meeting will be today.
- 5:22Speaker 2: This will be interesting. It most likely. If I had
- 5:24Speaker 2: a guess, the Iran negotiations are making very slow progress
- 5:30Speaker 2: and could be stalled at any point, so I would
- 5:33Speaker 2: guess that the next if things don't go well, it'll
- 5:36Speaker 2: be the next and final phase of the military operation,
- 5:39Speaker 2: which will be absolutely devastating and brutal and involve some
- 5:45Speaker 2: real serious things. I mean, just really totally once and
- 5:49Speaker 2: for all, ending the Ranian regime. So whatever that is,
- 5:52Speaker 2: or however serious it is, needs to be discussed with
- 5:55Speaker 2: the whole cabinet, and that's what he did with the
- 5:59Speaker 2: that effort to take out the nuclear reactors. So we'll
- 6:04Speaker 2: see the other news. President Trump had his physical yesterday.
- 6:08Speaker 2: The results that he released are that he is the
- 6:11Speaker 2: single most fit human being ever in the history of
- 6:15Speaker 2: the world. In fact, he said the doctors almost fainted
- 6:22Speaker 2: because they've never seen a physical specimen like his. Well
- 6:27Speaker 2: that's his evaluation. Let's wait till the doctors put out
- 6:31Speaker 2: there's actually they say everything went fine, the actual details,
- 6:36Speaker 2: and you could say they're fudging is no. No, they put
- 6:38Speaker 2: out the actual lab reports, numbers, everything that's not out yet,
- 6:41Speaker 2: it'll be out in a day or two, and at
- 6:43Speaker 2: some point this week they'll release the actual numbers. It's
- 6:46Speaker 2: a three hour physical that he gets. It's actually full
- 6:48Speaker 2: physical and a full dental exam. And the presidents do
- 6:52Speaker 2: it once a year, although President Trump's been doing it
- 6:54Speaker 2: once a month, I mean once every six months, twice
- 6:58Speaker 2: a year, which is a good idea. But he seems fine.
- 7:02Speaker 2: I mean, there's no problem at all. He does have
- 7:04Speaker 2: that the bruising all over the hands, but they say
- 7:07Speaker 2: that's from the aspirin. A lot of people take a
- 7:09Speaker 2: baby aspirin every day. It thins your blood a little,
- 7:13Speaker 2: which you know helps your heart. Your blood is thinner,
- 7:16Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about blockage. So a lot
- 7:18Speaker 2: of people take a little baby aspirin every day. It's
- 7:21Speaker 2: eighty one milligrams. But you know, Donald Trump, whatever people do,
- 7:24Speaker 2: he's got to do it bigger. So he takes a
- 7:27Speaker 2: full aspirin every day, a three hundred and twenty five
- 7:29Speaker 2: milligram aspen. It's too much aspirin. You're not supposed to
- 7:32Speaker 2: take that every day, but he said, if it's the
- 7:34Speaker 2: idea is thin blood, I want the thinnest blood ever.
- 7:36Speaker 2: So because it's too much aspirin every day, your hand
- 7:40Speaker 2: can get bruising and all that sort of stuff. Swelling
- 7:43Speaker 2: in his ankles. People have noticed that, but that comes
- 7:46Speaker 2: with age. That's just an old age thing. It's not
- 7:49Speaker 2: that serious. He wore compression socks to fix it, but
- 7:53Speaker 2: he said they're totally uncomfortable. What are compression socks. I
- 7:56Speaker 2: guess they compress. They kind of squeeze you down there.
- 8:00Speaker 2: He said, it just felt terrible. He couldn't stand them,
- 8:02Speaker 2: so they stopped stopped using them. You'll notice he got
- 8:05Speaker 2: slightly bigger shoes. He got wider, bigger shoes. So and
- 8:08Speaker 2: the falling asleep, you know, the left likes to use
- 8:11Speaker 2: that all the time. He's falling asleep. He dozes off
- 8:13Speaker 2: right in the middle of meat. That's absolutely nothing to
- 8:16Speaker 2: worry about. I know a lot of billionaires. They all
- 8:19Speaker 2: fall asleep at the table, all of them. You know why.
- 8:23Speaker 2: They never sleep at night. They're up all night working,
- 8:26Speaker 2: well everybody else sleeping for seven or eight hours. They
- 8:30Speaker 2: sleep for an hour. They get up there on the phone,
- 8:31Speaker 2: they're on the computer. You can text a billionaire three
- 8:33Speaker 2: in the morning. You'll get a response in a minute.
- 8:36Speaker 2: I mean, they're all they're up all night long. And
- 8:38Speaker 2: the result of that is they doze off during the
- 8:40Speaker 2: day here and there. It's no big deal. It's pretty
- 8:43Speaker 2: pretty common. So hey, the other thing with the president
- 8:47Speaker 2: and big victories. Yesterday, you know John Cornyn, who's a
- 8:52Speaker 2: major figure in Congress, he wanted him out. He wanted
- 8:57Speaker 2: Cornyn has been turning against Trump all all the time.
- 9:01Speaker 2: So Trump went down there endorsed the opponent, Ken Paxton,
- 9:04Speaker 2: who got He won, but there was a runoff yesterday
- 9:08Speaker 2: in the Texas runoff, Paxton slaughtered Cornan, showing the power
- 9:13Speaker 2: of a Trump endorsement, at least with Republicans. Paxton big victory.
- 9:16Speaker 3: When everyone in Washington told him to abandon me and
- 9:19Speaker 3: abandon the people of Texas, he didn't listen. Instead, he
- 9:23Speaker 3: gave his complete and total endorsement. President Trump is the
- 9:27Speaker 3: leader of our party, and his endorsement in this most
- 9:30Speaker 3: is the most powerful force in politics.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Well so now some will argue, well, that's not good.
- 9:36Speaker 2: Cornyn was the safer choice to win in the general.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Paxton's got you, previous comments, previous things in his love life,
- 9:44Speaker 2: his marriage, whatever. Well, but they'll be up against the
- 9:47Speaker 2: tall rico, who is just a totally insane tall rico,
- 9:51Speaker 2: a left wing kook who thinks there's a recognizes that
- 9:55Speaker 2: there are maybe more than two biological sexes, in that
- 9:59Speaker 2: there are sick.
- 10:00Speaker 1: God is both masculine and feminine, and everything in between.
- 10:06Speaker 1: God is non binary. I have met so many Hindus, Buddhists,
- 10:12Speaker 1: seekh Jews, Muslims, Atheist Agnostics who are more christ Like
- 10:17Speaker 1: than some of the Christians I serve with in the
- 10:19Speaker 1: Texas legislature. Our southern border should be like our front porch.
- 10:23Speaker 1: There should be a giant welcome mat out front and
- 10:26Speaker 1: a lock on the door.
- 10:27Speaker 2: Okay, so this guy should be pretty easy to beat.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Shouldn't be hard. Corning, now here's the problem. Corning is
- 10:35Speaker 2: a major figure in the Senate. He got wiped out
- 10:38Speaker 2: as Trump endorsed the opponent, completely wiped him out. But
- 10:41Speaker 2: he still serves till January. That's a long time. That's
- 10:46Speaker 2: seven months. You still got this guy around. He could
- 10:48Speaker 2: really oppose Trump vote against him. So Trump put out
- 10:50Speaker 2: a very complimentary, gracious tweet complimenting here's Corning last night.
- 10:55Speaker 4: I've spent most of my time in the Senate building
- 11:00Speaker 4: the Republican Party in Texas and in the US Senate,
- 11:04Speaker 4: and I've always supported the Republican ticket, and I intend
- 11:08Speaker 4: to do so again in this general election.
- 11:11Speaker 2: All right, not the most exciting guy in the world
- 11:13Speaker 2: is you can hear? Now here's the problem. In Texas.
- 11:15Speaker 2: You need a ton of money to run there. You know,
- 11:19Speaker 2: you got to spend a fortune when you want to advertise,
- 11:22Speaker 2: you got it. You do it in the major media markets.
- 11:24Speaker 2: You know, if you're running in Rhode Island, pretty easy.
- 11:27Speaker 2: You just buy a million ads. In Providence, that's the
- 11:30Speaker 2: big media capital pretty simple and you're done now. If
- 11:33Speaker 2: you're running in Texas, there's like twenty two major media markets,
- 11:36Speaker 2: so you got a blanket Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio.
- 11:40Speaker 2: All you have like twenty markets you got to pay
- 11:42Speaker 2: for so it costs a fortune. That's why their elections
- 11:46Speaker 2: always turn out to be the biggest, highest spending elections anywhere.
- 11:51Speaker 2: So but Patching right now it only has about three million,
- 11:54Speaker 2: but the money will come flowing in, flowing in the
- 11:58Speaker 2: Texas Old Bush Republican country club guid they're not going
- 12:01Speaker 2: to be too hot hot on Packston, but the money
- 12:03Speaker 2: he'll come in from Trump administration, they'll make sure he
- 12:06Speaker 2: gets it. So A Don Junior had the big wedding.
- 12:11Speaker 2: He married Bettina Anderson, who's not the most beloved woman
- 12:16Speaker 2: in Palm Beach's. They call her a Palm Beach socialite,
- 12:20Speaker 2: but if you go down a Palm Beach most people
- 12:21Speaker 2: can't stand her. So they had the way. I don't
- 12:25Speaker 2: know why he married her, but he's marrying her, and
- 12:29Speaker 2: well he did marry her over the weekend. He's forty eight,
- 12:32Speaker 2: she's thirty nine. They got married on this very exclusive island, Ezuma,
- 12:38Speaker 2: cays A thirty eight acre ultra private island. It's right
- 12:44Speaker 2: off NASA. It's seventy miles from NASA. It's not that exacit.
- 12:51Speaker 2: I mean I looked at all the pictures. Look in
- 12:53Speaker 2: the middle of nowhere all by yourself, looks like Killigan's
- 12:55Speaker 2: Island with nicer houses. It has been. It is kind
- 12:59Speaker 2: of picturesque, been used for movies like Pirates of the Caribbean,
- 13:03Speaker 2: Casino Royale, Daniel Craig. They filmed some scenes there. It
- 13:07Speaker 2: was actually developed by friends of Anderson, Big Palm Beach friends.
- 13:11Speaker 2: So they got married. There was only forty people and
- 13:13Speaker 2: it was really just the family. It was Don Junior's brother, sister,
- 13:21Speaker 2: all their kids right there. That's like forty people. Tiffany
- 13:25Speaker 2: was there. You'll notice there was no Donald Trump there.
- 13:28Speaker 2: There was no Milania there. I don't think they're too
- 13:30Speaker 2: thrilled about this marriage. It was not their first choice
- 13:32Speaker 2: for a wife for him. I think that's the reason
- 13:36Speaker 2: they weren't there. Now they'll say, well, due to the
- 13:40Speaker 2: Warren Iran and well, he could have easily just moved
- 13:42Speaker 2: it up a few weeks or ahead a few weeks.
- 13:45Speaker 2: That wouldn't have been hard. Originally, they wanted to get
- 13:48Speaker 2: married in the White House. Again, I don't think Donald
- 13:51Speaker 2: Trump's too thrilled about Bettina. Anderson did not want to
- 13:54Speaker 2: give her that sort of an honor. So, hey, we'll
- 13:58Speaker 2: get to Stephen Gobert coming up. He's launched his YouTube channel.
- 14:04Speaker 2: You can make a lot of money on YouTube. You
- 14:06Speaker 2: can be very big on YouTube in many ways, it's
- 14:09Speaker 2: bigger than network television. But usually on YouTube it's kind
- 14:13Speaker 2: of a smaller operation. You might find out what Colbert
- 14:16Speaker 2: is like without literally twenty two writers writing for him.
- 14:19Speaker 2: He had twenty two writers on that monologue was twenty
- 14:25Speaker 2: two writers, you know the Gutveld. There's like one writer
- 14:31Speaker 2: and he's got triple the ratings of Colbert. Well, so
- 14:37Speaker 2: we'll see what happens on this YouTube channel. Now. Originally
- 14:40Speaker 2: CBS was trying to block it, fight it, copyright infringement,
- 14:43Speaker 2: disinfringe of that. So they started doing that the first day,
- 14:46Speaker 2: which was I think Saturday, and then the internet got
- 14:50Speaker 2: crazy at CBS calling for boycott. So CBS dropped the
- 14:53Speaker 2: copyright in front. Let him do whatever he wants. Who's
- 14:56Speaker 2: going to pay attention. Hey, we got a lot to
- 14:58Speaker 2: get to coming up. We'll get to the governor's race.
- 15:01Speaker 2: We'll get the crazy mom Donnie. His latest scheme. If
- 15:05Speaker 2: a landlord is bad, they'll seize the building. The government
- 15:08Speaker 2: will seize the building. We'll go over this scheme. It
- 15:11Speaker 2: sounds very noble. If there's a real neglected building slumber,
- 15:15Speaker 2: they'll take the building away. Sounds kind of noble. They
- 15:18Speaker 2: like they're coming to the rescue. This is actually how
- 15:21Speaker 2: communism starts, the government seizing private property. Yeah, so we'll
- 15:28Speaker 2: get to that. We'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred
- 15:30Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
