Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: He's always a headline. I had Mark Simmo seven to
- 0:04Speaker 1: ten wo R. So the negotiations will continue today. They'll
- 0:12Speaker 1: resume today. Actually it's Iran as a negotiating team there
- 0:16Speaker 1: meeting with our negotiators Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Vice President
- 0:21Speaker 1: Vance the negotiations. Now here's what Iran strategy is. Well,
- 0:25Speaker 1: you see, our problem is we make great negotiating progress
- 0:33Speaker 1: with the negotiators and what we're negotiating with is the
- 0:37Speaker 1: political leadership of Iran, and we make progress there. But
- 0:42Speaker 1: there are two factions now in Iran, the hardline Republican Guard.
- 0:47Speaker 1: This is the not the regular army, but this is
- 0:49Speaker 1: the crazy, extreme, vicious militant army, the Republican Guard. But
- 0:53Speaker 1: apparently they're in control of the weapons right now. So
- 0:57Speaker 1: while the political leadership might want to settle this with negotiation,
- 1:01Speaker 1: the hardliners with the weapons aren't going along with it.
- 1:05Speaker 1: So you got these two factions. Now, Iran strategy is
- 1:09Speaker 1: they believe we have the same problem here in the US.
- 1:12Speaker 1: We have the political leadership, the Trump administration, but we
- 1:16Speaker 1: have a whole other side here in America, and that's
- 1:18Speaker 1: the opposition, the crazy left, who's basically on Iran's side
- 1:23Speaker 1: on most of this, and they think that they can
- 1:26Speaker 1: Something happened in Vietnam. The enemy thought they could just
- 1:29Speaker 1: get that anti war sentiment to go way way up,
- 1:33Speaker 1: and it would, you know, counter the administration. So they're
- 1:36Speaker 1: hoping on that. They're counting on that crazy Chris Murphy,
- 1:41Speaker 1: the Senator from Connecticut, and you know Tom Friedman, the
- 1:45Speaker 1: New York Times writer last week who said, you know,
- 1:48Speaker 1: he doesn't want to see Iran lose. He wants to
- 1:51Speaker 1: see Iran win so it'll make Trump look bad. That's
- 1:54Speaker 1: basically what he said. And it was revealed that a
- 1:57Speaker 1: bunch of Iranian little boats got through the blockade, and
- 2:02Speaker 1: the awful senator from Connecticut, Chris Murphy tweeted, awesome when
- 2:07Speaker 1: somebody posted the information about Iran succeeding and beating us
- 2:11Speaker 1: at the blockade, he tweeted, awesome. You're not supposed to
- 2:16Speaker 1: root for the terrorists. You're not supposed to root for
- 2:19Speaker 1: the enemy. It's caused a big stink. In fact, it's
- 2:24Speaker 1: forced him to even put out an explanation. He's saying
- 2:29Speaker 1: the awesome post was misinterpreted, it was sarcastic, it was something.
- 2:33Speaker 1: It was but that's what Iran's doing, trying to play
- 2:36Speaker 1: up that they're taking comfort, great comfort and encouragement from
- 2:41Speaker 1: the Democrats and the left, who they believe are on
- 2:44Speaker 1: their side. Do you ever hear anything that crazy? H
- 2:48Speaker 1: and you know you're gonna hear all the Democrats tell
- 2:50Speaker 1: you how we're losing. We don't know what we're doing.
- 2:52Speaker 1: We're totally ineffective. This has been the most incredible war
- 2:57Speaker 1: we've ever fought. It's the most planned war history. We've
- 3:00Speaker 1: had forty years of working on this plan. And look
- 3:04Speaker 1: how incredible it's been. What war did you ever see
- 3:06Speaker 1: where there's no casualties and we had a couple pilots.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I mean, just look at this as an example. Besides
- 3:13Speaker 1: taking out the entire leadership of Iran Day one, all
- 3:16Speaker 1: forty one top leaders, but the one time we had
- 3:21Speaker 1: a plane shot down and two pilots shot down and
- 3:24Speaker 1: they were stranded in the middle of Iran. What can
- 3:26Speaker 1: you do about that? Wow? Look at this. We send
- 3:30Speaker 1: in hundreds of people and planes, boots on the ground,
- 3:33Speaker 1: they build, they construct a temporary air base that we
- 3:37Speaker 1: only need for about twenty four hours. They build an
- 3:40Speaker 1: air base on the ground in Iran, We have a
- 3:42Speaker 1: couple hundred planes surround that air base. We create a
- 3:46Speaker 1: two mile perimeter around it and we shoot anything that
- 3:48Speaker 1: comes near there, and that gives that airbase a full
- 3:52Speaker 1: day to operate, send out planes, find the pilot to
- 3:55Speaker 1: extract them. It was an amazing success. Everything here. Oh, hey,
- 4:01Speaker 1: Trump does this interview. He agreed to go on CNBC
- 4:04Speaker 1: this morning with Joe Kernan. And you know, CNBC is
- 4:07Speaker 1: like a left wing, really slanted place, except except for
- 4:11Speaker 1: Joe Kernan and except for maybe a couple others, but
- 4:15Speaker 1: otherwise very slanted, very anti Trump. But he goes on
- 4:18Speaker 1: there and the agreed he'll do twenty minutes. And they're
- 4:24Speaker 1: asking a million questions and at one point he said,
- 4:26Speaker 1: you know what I'll do. I'll stay as long as
- 4:28Speaker 1: you want. Forget what this. I know. My staff says,
- 4:30Speaker 1: I got twenty minutes, I'll stay as long as and
- 4:32Speaker 1: he answered a million questions. So what uh? What is
- 4:36Speaker 1: the left going crazy? You know there's always something they
- 4:38Speaker 1: go crazy over. So oh, this is the one that's
- 4:42Speaker 1: going crazy over. He started talking about Vietnam and he
- 4:44Speaker 1: it's here's the headline. Media Height. This is the big
- 4:47Speaker 1: left wing site Trump blurts out stunning claim about Vietnam,
- 4:51Speaker 1: which he avoided serving. In what was the stunning claim?
- 4:55Speaker 1: He said, you know, everything that was wrong with the
- 4:58Speaker 1: Vietnam War. He said, I would have won that thing.
- 5:00Speaker 1: I would have won that. Well, that's not a stunning claim.
- 5:03Speaker 1: That's Trump. You know, he loves to brag. He's always boasting.
- 5:06Speaker 1: That's the salesman in him. You brag about everything. But
- 5:09Speaker 1: then they really go after him. This is the other
- 5:11Speaker 1: left wing thing. He's a draft dodger. He avoided the war,
- 5:15Speaker 1: he didn't serve. Well, that's every president for the last
- 5:19Speaker 1: few decades, every president. That's George W. Bush, that's Bill Clinton,
- 5:24Speaker 1: that's Joe Biden. You know the what happened, and they
- 5:27Speaker 1: go through the whole thing. He claimed he had bone spurs.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Even doctors have admitted he didn't have bone spur. Well,
- 5:33Speaker 1: first of all, you'd never mentioned this with Joe Biden.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Nobody got more student deferments than Joe Biden got like
- 5:39Speaker 1: seven student deferments, and he claimed he had asthma. He
- 5:44Speaker 1: got out of Vietnam by claiming he had asthma. You know,
- 5:46Speaker 1: the guy wrote a three hundred page biography like seventeen
- 5:50Speaker 1: chapters on his childhood. There's no mention of any asthma
- 5:53Speaker 1: in there, but he claimed that it got him out
- 5:55Speaker 1: of the war. Bill Clinton got out of it. It's
- 5:57Speaker 1: just they all avoided the draft, all of them. So
- 6:02Speaker 1: it's a silly claim. Hey all, you guys all love
- 6:04Speaker 1: Dick Cheney. Now, all the left the media, you love
- 6:06Speaker 1: Dick Cheney. Remember he was a draft dodger according to you.
- 6:10Speaker 1: You kept calling him a draft dodger. More those student deferments.
- 6:14Speaker 1: So if that's all they got to attack about the
- 6:17Speaker 1: CNBC interview, well consider it a great success. Uh. Stock
- 6:22Speaker 1: market did back off a little, very slight. It's not
- 6:25Speaker 1: reading really a drop. It's down like fifty points. That's
- 6:27Speaker 1: after being up like a thousand points in the last
- 6:29Speaker 1: few days. So that's really nothing. Now what is it?
- 6:33Speaker 1: What the hell is Obama up to? What is this
- 6:36Speaker 1: Obama up to? Well, you know he had that big
- 6:38Speaker 1: Netflix deal. Obama leaves office, makes himself five six, seven
- 6:43Speaker 1: hundred million. Some people think he's close to being a
- 6:46Speaker 1: billionaire now he and Michelle they got all these deals
- 6:50Speaker 1: and companies overpay him like crazy, like Netflix. You know,
- 6:53Speaker 1: we'll give you one hundred million to produce shows for us.
- 6:57Speaker 1: There's nobody on earth that knows less about how to
- 6:59Speaker 1: produce television or movies. Then Barack and Michelle Obama, they
- 7:02Speaker 1: know absolutely nothing about this, have zero experience, but here's
- 7:07Speaker 1: one hundred million to do. It makes no sense, but
- 7:11Speaker 1: you're buying them basically. And then Michelle Obama, who can't write,
- 7:15Speaker 1: gets a book deal, and you know that kind of
- 7:17Speaker 1: book deals usually ten twelve, fifteen, maybe it's twenty million.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Here we'll give you a forty million for a book.
- 7:22Speaker 1: It's a way of buying them. And then you got
- 7:25Speaker 1: Barack and Michelle Obama for whatever you need. You need
- 7:27Speaker 1: them to come talk to your investors. You need them
- 7:29Speaker 1: to show up at your stuff. You need them to
- 7:31Speaker 1: make some phone calls to DC and lobby for you.
- 7:34Speaker 1: They'll you know, they got a lot of clout with
- 7:36Speaker 1: those Democrats in Congress. That's what you're paying for. Well,
- 7:41Speaker 1: I guess they're all done now with Netflix doesn't need
- 7:43Speaker 1: them anymore, so they've basically canceled the whole deal. They're
- 7:47Speaker 1: out at Netflix, but they don't want to give up
- 7:50Speaker 1: a net. They've announced they're going independent. They're big production company.
- 7:55Speaker 1: How's it called Higher Ground. The President and first Lady
- 8:01Speaker 1: founded Higher Ground in twenty eighteen, producing movie and TV
- 8:06Speaker 1: content exclusively for Netflix, but they're now going independent. The
- 8:12Speaker 1: company has begun setting up projects. They hope to do
- 8:15Speaker 1: projects at HBO, Apple and other studios. Now this production company,
- 8:19Speaker 1: higher Ground. When was the last time you're watching a
- 8:21Speaker 1: show or you see a movie and at the end
- 8:23Speaker 1: it says higher Ground Production. Again, they know nothing about
- 8:28Speaker 1: producing anything, but they want to sell their clout, their names.
- 8:36Speaker 1: So I think that's why Obama is now running around
- 8:39Speaker 1: trying to get himself more clout. You know, he's got
- 8:42Speaker 1: a lot of friends in DC, but I know that
- 8:45Speaker 1: Mom Donnie has for the last eight months, all through
- 8:49Speaker 1: the campaign, the Mam Donnie kept calling the Obama people
- 8:52Speaker 1: trying to get Obama to come and help them endorse
- 8:54Speaker 1: some campaign, and Obama wanted nothing to do with them.
- 8:57Speaker 1: And now, as you see this past weekend, Obama runs
- 9:00Speaker 1: to New York to appear with Mom Donnie. So I
- 9:04Speaker 1: think he's trying to make himself have a little more
- 9:07Speaker 1: clout everywhere you need something done. In New York City,
- 9:09Speaker 1: he's now close to the mayor. He's just working on
- 9:12Speaker 1: that relationship. His top political operative is David Axelrod. Axelrod
- 9:19Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago was sent to the Vatican
- 9:20Speaker 1: to meet with the Pope. Now, Axelrod and Obama, they're
- 9:24Speaker 1: from Chicago. This Pope is from Chicago, so they got
- 9:28Speaker 1: a lot of Chicago connections together, and that's why it
- 9:31Speaker 1: was easy for Axelrod to find his connections to get
- 9:36Speaker 1: a meeting with the Pope. And he's been over there
- 9:38Speaker 1: meeting with the Pope. No, I think that's part of
- 9:40Speaker 1: the deal, Obama letting the world know he's connected. Now
- 9:44Speaker 1: to Mom, Donnie, you need anything in New York, he's
- 9:45Speaker 1: collected to the Pope, you need anything that way. So
- 9:49Speaker 1: he's obviously working hard on his business, which is selling influence.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Now that's basically what he does. Hey, the NYPD cop,
- 9:58Speaker 1: the one that threw the cooler at the motor cycle
- 10:01Speaker 1: and was overcharged, over sentenced the whole thing. He's out
- 10:04Speaker 1: on bail, three hundred thousand dollars bond. Arthur Idallah, who's
- 10:09Speaker 1: a great criminal attorney, did a great job. Excellent job.
- 10:12Speaker 1: He not only got him out on bail because before
- 10:15Speaker 1: that the judge, and it was insane. The judge remanded
- 10:18Speaker 1: him no bail. That's absolutely crazy, especially when every criminal
- 10:22Speaker 1: gets no bail, no jail. So Iadala got him out
- 10:26Speaker 1: and only got him out, he got the bail lowered.
- 10:28Speaker 1: He now has one hundred and twenty days to file
- 10:31Speaker 1: an appeal with the Appellate Division. You know, when you
- 10:35Speaker 1: try to get bail on all that, you have people
- 10:37Speaker 1: write letters to the judge on your behalf. So they
- 10:41Speaker 1: got one letter which was a petition. Eleven thousand cops
- 10:44Speaker 1: signed it asking the judge to opt for probation. Eleven
- 10:49Speaker 1: thousand cops signed it. Hey, the awful, evil Gail King,
- 10:54Speaker 1: nasty woman in real life. Gail King, obnoxious, nasty woman
- 10:58Speaker 1: in real life. Remember Gail King does the CBS Morning
- 11:04Speaker 1: Show and it's in the last place, gets crushed by
- 11:08Speaker 1: Good Morning America, gets crushed by the Today Show. It's
- 11:10Speaker 1: a last place show. It's on for years, going no place,
- 11:14Speaker 1: always in last place. It's a total disaster ratings wise.
- 11:17Speaker 1: But a while back, this is whatever it was five
- 11:21Speaker 1: six years ago, new contract, and she gets some preposterous
- 11:26Speaker 1: fee for being in the last place. It was like
- 11:28Speaker 1: twelve million a year for a show that's a total failure.
- 11:30Speaker 1: But the reason was that was back then when CBS
- 11:34Speaker 1: was in the middle of horrible, horrible scandals. There was
- 11:36Speaker 1: the less moonvest rape scandal, there was the Charlie Rose
- 11:41Speaker 1: sexual misconduct scale scandal, and there was a whole bunch
- 11:46Speaker 1: of people, a lot of the news executives. In sixty minutes.
- 11:49Speaker 1: People all had to quit sexual abuse scandals. It was
- 11:53Speaker 1: horrible time at CBS. Just then Gail King's contract comes up,
- 11:58Speaker 1: and they're terrified to her because she is an that's
- 12:00Speaker 1: the evil woman. And I think she was threatening to
- 12:02Speaker 1: write a book. So all of a sudden they doubled
- 12:05Speaker 1: her salary. Keep her there and keep her quiet, keep
- 12:09Speaker 1: her on the team there. Well, now there's new ownership,
- 12:13Speaker 1: there's nothing to do with all those pass s games.
- 12:15Speaker 1: That's all over. And you're saying, yeah, but wait a minute,
- 12:18Speaker 1: we just hurt a while back, and that's not long ago.
- 12:20Speaker 1: She signed a whole new contract, obviously a lover her.
- 12:24Speaker 1: No details are coming out now. Sources say it was
- 12:27Speaker 1: only a one year contract, which is unheard of. When
- 12:31Speaker 1: you can't stand somebody, when you have no use for them,
- 12:34Speaker 1: when you don't want them anymore. Instead of the standard
- 12:37Speaker 1: five year contract, we'll give you a one year extension.
- 12:41Speaker 1: It happened to Jimmy Kimmel. They wouldn't give a new contract,
- 12:45Speaker 1: give you a one year extension. So that's apparently what
- 12:49Speaker 1: happened to Gail King. It's just a one year extension.
- 12:52Speaker 1: And apparently in this little, short, little one year contract,
- 12:56Speaker 1: it doesn't say she'll be doing the morning show so
- 12:58Speaker 1: they can move her. Insiders speculate that she'll probably be
- 13:03Speaker 1: off the Morning Show at some time, and there's not
- 13:05Speaker 1: much left on that contract. So that's the most insulting thing,
- 13:08Speaker 1: that one year extension. You know, secretly, it's the real
- 13:12Speaker 1: reason Johnny Carson quit the Tonight Show. Every five years
- 13:16Speaker 1: he'd sign a new contract. Ed Hook Stratton was his agent.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Ed Hook Stratton and Johnny Carson every five years would
- 13:23Speaker 1: go to the Grill, very nice restaurant in Beverly Hills
- 13:27Speaker 1: for lunch and they'd meet the NBC guys and they
- 13:29Speaker 1: would bring the new five year contract. The money had
- 13:32Speaker 1: all been hammered out, and they'd have lunch and Johnny
- 13:35Speaker 1: would sign it. Well, one year, they went to this
- 13:38Speaker 1: thing in nineteen ninety one and the young NBC executive said, hey, Johnny,
- 13:44Speaker 1: what would you think about that about a one year deal.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Carson knew what that meant. Immediately knew what that meant.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Now they were planning to sign, but as soon as
- 13:54Speaker 1: Carson heard one year, he said, well, to tell you
- 13:56Speaker 1: the truth, I actually came here to announce my retirement.
- 13:58Speaker 1: I'm telling you I'm leaving. He knew what that one
- 14:00Speaker 1: year meant, and the NBC guys were stunned, and hook
- 14:04Speaker 1: Stratton knew to play along with Carson. Yeah, that's right,
- 14:06Speaker 1: we came here to resign and tell you it's all over.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Whenever you hear one year contract, it means it's over.
- 14:13Speaker 1: You're finished. Hey, there's a streaming show that's coming. I
- 14:17Speaker 1: haven't seen it, but it sounds great. It's on Peacock,
- 14:21Speaker 1: the Gilgo Beach Killer documentary. It's like several episodes. This
- 14:26Speaker 1: sounds great, this Peacock miniseries Gilgo and they got all
- 14:30Speaker 1: the people talking. They even interviewed the wife. Apparently in
- 14:33Speaker 1: episode four, the wife's explains that at one point she's
- 14:39Speaker 1: with her husband and the husband confessed. Now can you
- 14:43Speaker 1: imagine a wife is with the husband and he confesses,
- 14:47Speaker 1: I'm cheated on you. I've had an affair. It's over,
- 14:52Speaker 1: but I had an affair. I mean, you know, can't
- 14:53Speaker 1: I mentione how devastating that is if you're the wife. Now,
- 14:57Speaker 1: imagine if he says, by the way, uh, I choked
- 15:01Speaker 1: her and strangled her and dismembered her. I buried her
- 15:04Speaker 1: in the beach. Huh. Now imagine if he says, and
- 15:08Speaker 1: it wasn't just her, I was like seven others I
- 15:10Speaker 1: killed and strangled in this. So she she explains how
- 15:13Speaker 1: he confessed the whole thing to her. I can't wait
- 15:18Speaker 1: to watch this. It's on Peacock, this new mini series.
- 15:22Speaker 1: So it sounds sounds pretty good. What else we got,
- 15:26Speaker 1: uh hey, we'll take some calls in a minute. Eight
- 15:28Speaker 1: hundred three to two one zero seven ten is number.
- 15:32Speaker 1: We'll take some calls next eight hundred three to two
- 15:35Speaker 1: one zero seven ten
