Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: He's more Mark. He's so marximone show on seven tenor
- 0:08Speaker 1: very well, I'll a lot to get to this hour.
- 0:12Speaker 1: So I'm listening to that report on the Jets new
- 0:17Speaker 1: uniforms all white, like this is going to help? How
- 0:21Speaker 1: about I forget the new uniform its new owner get
- 0:23Speaker 1: a new owner is a very nice guy, Woody Johnson.
- 0:26Speaker 1: He is the single worst owner in the history of sports.
- 0:33Speaker 1: It's the first time I've ever seen this. There's a
- 0:35Speaker 1: movement that's been building for a few years. They want
- 0:40Speaker 1: the NFL to put in some sort of apparatus that
- 0:42Speaker 1: an owner could be removed, could have the team taken
- 0:45Speaker 1: away if he's just stunningly incompetent and can't do it,
- 0:51Speaker 1: And that would be Woody Johnson. Again, very nice guy,
- 0:54Speaker 1: a wonderful guy in real life. Has no business keeping
- 0:58Speaker 1: the team, oh, incompetent. No team has ever had an
- 1:04Speaker 1: owner bungled things up like this, Steve Cohen, you know,
- 1:08Speaker 1: there's good periods, there's bad periods. Have a good year,
- 1:11Speaker 1: they have a bad year. Woody Johnson, it's always always disaster.
- 1:15Speaker 1: So a lot of people have actually talked about that
- 1:17Speaker 1: having some kind of thing in the NFL where enough
- 1:20Speaker 1: people can get together and vote an owner out make
- 1:22Speaker 1: him sell the team. Now, Woody Johnson bought the team
- 1:26Speaker 1: years ago. I think he paid six hundred million, and
- 1:31Speaker 1: apparently it's worth nine billion now. So if you took
- 1:33Speaker 1: the team away, if he had it was forced to
- 1:35Speaker 1: sell it, he would make himself eight point four billions.
- 1:39Speaker 1: So it's not a bad deal. But he's got to
- 1:40Speaker 1: sell it. The new uniforms, and why would you make
- 1:43Speaker 1: them all white? That's ridiculous. They're just gonna look dirty
- 1:47Speaker 1: in five minutes. Hey, Bruce Blakeman has talked a number
- 1:51Speaker 1: of times now about how the fact that the Jets
- 1:55Speaker 1: really are a Long Island team and they should go
- 1:57Speaker 1: back to Long Island. He's even talked about building a stadium,
- 2:02Speaker 1: a beautiful new stadium in Long Island. But again, new stadium,
- 2:07Speaker 1: new uniform, forget that new owner. You need a new
- 2:10Speaker 1: owner immediately. Hey, I'm walking through some stores yesterday, clothing stores.
- 2:18Speaker 1: All they saw were fall clothes. Oh my god, the
- 2:20Speaker 1: summer is really it's really in the final third. You
- 2:27Speaker 1: go in the stores, fall clothes everywhere, and then back
- 2:32Speaker 1: to school sales. The only thing that does make me
- 2:34Speaker 1: happy when I see it back to school. Sale, I
- 2:37Speaker 1: feel so good because I don't have to go back
- 2:39Speaker 1: to school. That was always the worst time of year.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Back to school was always a horrible time year. But
- 2:45Speaker 1: now great, I don't have to go. Hey, we're talking
- 2:49Speaker 1: about mom Donnie, this crazy mom Donnie, this child, this
- 2:53Speaker 1: ridiculous whining child.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Benjamin Etna, who is a war criminal, the architect of
- 2:59Speaker 2: a horrific against the Palestine people, is responsible for the
- 3:03Speaker 2: killing of more than seventy three thousand people.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Just makes up this nonsense, spews this nonsense.
- 3:08Speaker 2: I want to be equally clear. Benjamin Netanya, who is
- 3:11Speaker 2: not welcome in New York City, nor is any other
- 3:13Speaker 2: war criminal at large.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Okay, as well, we want to have and a lot
- 3:17Speaker 1: of people are working on this. You're going to have
- 3:19Speaker 1: the biggest welcoming for Benjamin Natanya, who parades celebrations with
- 3:25Speaker 1: a lot of famous faces. Make him feel very welcome. Now,
- 3:28Speaker 1: all these crazy wacko left wing kooks. Who is the
- 3:32Speaker 1: guy you're going to need somebody? This happened before with
- 3:35Speaker 1: the Democrats, where they went so far to the left,
- 3:38Speaker 1: and then Bill Clinton emerged. Common sense, moderate centrist Bill
- 3:43Speaker 1: Clinton emerged and led the party back to the center
- 3:48Speaker 1: and therefore back to victory. You need a Bill Clinton
- 3:50Speaker 1: to emerge. Who could it be, Well, it might be Fetterman.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Looking listen to Fetterman, go after mom, Donnie, you're a.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Mayor, dude, you know, pick up trash, fix some potholes,
- 4:02Speaker 3: and really fix the homeless problem in your city to
- 4:06Speaker 3: you know, your way out of your league. And now
- 4:10Speaker 3: this is irresponsible. But like I said, he's just a
- 4:13Speaker 3: total clown and it's just for clicks. At this point,
- 4:17Speaker 3: he knows that he has nothing actionable.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Fetterman, he could be the Bill Clinton. He could be
- 4:25Speaker 1: the common sense Democrat that leads the party back to
- 4:28Speaker 1: the center, back to normalcy. He can be leftist center,
- 4:31Speaker 1: but you can't be crazy left the Fetterman. Could you
- 4:34Speaker 1: imagine Fetterman being the guy? He would have to buy
- 4:39Speaker 1: a suit. You can't show up dress like that. You'd
- 4:43Speaker 1: have to get a suit and a tie and a
- 4:45Speaker 1: dress shirt. And I mean you can't show you can't
- 4:48Speaker 1: be president the hoodie and shorts. I mean, I guess
- 4:51Speaker 1: you could. But when you go to the White House
- 4:53Speaker 1: you have to go through the service entrance. I mean,
- 4:56Speaker 1: does he look like a leader? Dresses like he's here
- 4:58Speaker 1: to move furniture or something. I mean, could he do it?
- 5:02Speaker 1: Could he put on a suit? I don't know. But
- 5:06Speaker 1: he'd be a hell of a Bill Clinton type to
- 5:09Speaker 1: lead the party back to normalcy. Hey, we're talk about
- 5:11Speaker 1: this medicaid fraud. It's a bigger thing than anybody realizes.
- 5:15Speaker 1: This medificad fraud is billions and billions of taxpayer money
- 5:21Speaker 1: being stolen. Now, let me just give you one example.
- 5:25Speaker 1: This guy was a Medicare fraud guy. And this guy
- 5:30Speaker 1: had This is what they do. They set up these
- 5:32Speaker 1: fake you know, little companies, these fake daycare centers, these
- 5:37Speaker 1: fake senior centers, and they collect the Social Security numbers
- 5:43Speaker 1: and the you know, the numbers for all these senior citizens.
- 5:46Speaker 1: They steal identities, and a lot of times they use
- 5:48Speaker 1: dead people and all sorts of stuff, and they submit
- 5:51Speaker 1: it for Medicaid reimbursement. So that's what this guy did.
- 5:57Speaker 1: You know, for each senior he was taking care of
- 5:59Speaker 1: or doing tests, he would get Medicaid reimbursement up to
- 6:03Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars for each one, and he'd come up
- 6:06Speaker 1: with thousands and thousands and thousands. Well him, they were
- 6:10Speaker 1: on too. They caught him and he fled. He fled
- 6:13Speaker 1: the country. He was a fugitive. Well, they arrested him
- 6:16Speaker 1: yesterday in the Middle East after looking for him on
- 6:21Speaker 1: the lamb. They arrested this guy. Now you know how
- 6:23Speaker 1: much this guy stole Medicare funds. This one guy five
- 6:28Speaker 1: hundred and forty seven million. This one guy half a billion.
- 6:33Speaker 1: This is stolen from taxpayers, total medicaid fraud. And apparently
- 6:39Speaker 1: what he would do, he'd set up this whole system
- 6:41Speaker 1: of and he would use doctors. He'd got doctors, He'd
- 6:45Speaker 1: pay him a fortune to do this, these illegal kickbacks
- 6:49Speaker 1: and all this stuff. He had patient recruiters out there
- 6:52Speaker 1: looking for patients who didn't need anything, but they could
- 6:55Speaker 1: just use their Social Security number and all of that.
- 6:58Speaker 1: But this one guy did a half a billion in
- 7:02Speaker 1: medicaid fraud. So imagine a lot of these guys. So
- 7:04Speaker 1: the Medicaid fraud is hundreds of billions probably in the
- 7:08Speaker 1: end of money stolen from taxpayers. Now we know it
- 7:11Speaker 1: was really bad Minnesota, really bad in Minnesota, and then
- 7:15Speaker 1: they started finding it in California. So RFK Junior announced
- 7:20Speaker 1: the government will not pay any more Medicaid funds to California.
- 7:24Speaker 1: And Minnesota. It says, the Democrats open the floodgates to hell.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Kennedy is stopping more than one billion in federal Medicaid
- 7:33Speaker 1: payments to California and Minnesota until they clean it up
- 7:37Speaker 1: and stop the theft. I mean's the total robbery of
- 7:41Speaker 1: taxpayer money. And he's not going to allow this to continue. Now,
- 7:45Speaker 1: obviously Minnesota is furious. Gavin Newsom is yelling and screaming,
- 7:50Speaker 1: but he can't argue Kennedy's points. So if you watch Newsom,
- 7:54Speaker 1: he was arguing that, well, look how about Iran. There
- 7:56Speaker 1: you go, Iran was a waste of money, Iran is
- 7:59Speaker 1: wasting tax money. Well that's nice deflecting, But again he
- 8:03Speaker 1: can't answer the charges. So until they clean it up,
- 8:07Speaker 1: they're cut off. As a good move by RFK Junior.
- 8:11Speaker 1: So these Democrats, these communists, these socialists, these crazies. You know,
- 8:17Speaker 1: if you're a Democrat, if you're a good, solid Democrat,
- 8:20Speaker 1: you know you voted for Bill Clinton, you liked Obama.
- 8:24Speaker 1: What happened to your party? You lost your party. It's
- 8:27Speaker 1: all crazies and lunatics. Listen to Bill Maher.
- 8:30Speaker 4: I'm not living in communist America. I mean, I know
- 8:33Speaker 4: the talking point is that it's not communism and socialism. Okay,
- 8:37Speaker 4: I've read the quotes from the DSA platform from their
- 8:43Speaker 4: own mouths.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Don't tell me.
- 8:45Speaker 4: I'm not seeing what I am seeing.
- 8:49Speaker 1: So I don't know what you're gonna do if you're
- 8:50Speaker 1: a normal Democrat. I don't know how you're going to
- 8:52Speaker 1: get your party back. You got party leaders who are
- 8:55Speaker 1: hiding under their desk who won't help you, like Schumer
- 8:58Speaker 1: and Jeffries. Hey, Biden is back hunter. Biden suddenly doing
- 9:03Speaker 1: a lot of podcasts. Why, well, he's trying to sell
- 9:07Speaker 1: paintings again. Remember he was getting four hundred thousand, five
- 9:11Speaker 1: hundred thousand of painting. It was basically to buy influence.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Nobody wanted these crazy junk paintings. It was just finger painting.
- 9:17Speaker 1: It's just junk. But you give him five hundred thousand
- 9:20Speaker 1: for the painting and then you get access to the
- 9:22Speaker 1: White House. Well, he can't charge that much anymore. But
- 9:25Speaker 1: he's now trying to sell paintings for fifty four thousand dollars.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Fifty four thousand. Now you might be saying to yourself,
- 9:34Speaker 1: that's a lot for a junk painting. Well, the painting
- 9:38Speaker 1: includes a phone call with Hunter. Ooh, a phone call
- 9:42Speaker 1: with Hunter? What the hell would you want a phone
- 9:47Speaker 1: call with Hunter for? Could you imagine it? Hello? Hunter? Yeah? Yeah,
- 9:53Speaker 1: So who wants to talk to Hunter? Biden? Every Oh?
- 9:57Speaker 1: Actually it's a private video call with Hunter, who they
- 9:59Speaker 1: all wants look at him? He says in the call
- 10:03Speaker 1: he will speak personally about the painting. Have you seen
- 10:06Speaker 1: these paintings? There's nothing to say about him. He's appearing
- 10:10Speaker 1: on some weird podcasts. Real extremist Nick Fiuente's canvas owens,
- 10:17Speaker 1: but he's trying to build up that art career again
- 10:19Speaker 1: fifty four thousand painting. Hunter has been living dividing his
- 10:23Speaker 1: time between South Africa and Sanyonez, California, where one of
- 10:28Speaker 1: his father's major donors owns an enormous ranch. So I
- 10:32Speaker 1: guess he's putting up Hunter there. In fact, the entire
- 10:35Speaker 1: Biden family spent Thanksgiving at the ranch. Last week, a
- 10:40Speaker 1: federal judge in California awarded Hunter one point seven million
- 10:46Speaker 1: in punitive damages. A Trump donor apparently slandered Hunter, which
- 10:54Speaker 1: is hard to do, but it apparently went too far
- 10:56Speaker 1: with what he said. Oh, he accused Biden of conspiring
- 11:01Speaker 1: with the Iranian government. All right, I mean, listen, the
- 11:07Speaker 1: kid is a Slee's ball, but I don't think he
- 11:09Speaker 1: did that. So the court awarded him one point seven billion. Now,
- 11:14Speaker 1: remember Hunter was pardoned by his father, otherwise he'd probably
- 11:16Speaker 1: be in jail now. And I remember his father famously said,
- 11:20Speaker 1: I will not pardon my son, and of course then
- 11:23Speaker 1: on the way out, pardoned his son, who would have
- 11:25Speaker 1: had a big problem with the income tax evasion. Hey
- 11:30Speaker 1: there's a guy that a wonderful guy. He died yesterday
- 11:33Speaker 1: at the age of ninety three. And he was a
- 11:36Speaker 1: major figure in late night television now, in television, in movies,
- 11:44Speaker 1: in Broadway, and you know, you know all the big
- 11:47Speaker 1: stars and all the famous people, but there's always the
- 11:51Speaker 1: guys behind the scenes who are such major forces in
- 11:54Speaker 1: this that you never hear about. Now, some of them
- 11:57Speaker 1: make sure you hear about them. Even some producers and
- 11:59Speaker 1: directors love a ton of publicity. But not this guy.
- 12:02Speaker 1: He was a quiet guy and he worked behind the scenes.
- 12:05Speaker 1: I'm talking about Peter le Sally, who was the producer
- 12:08Speaker 1: of The Tonight Show for like almost twenty something years. Letterman,
- 12:15Speaker 1: he was a major figure. He was there are a
- 12:19Speaker 1: lot of producers. There were kind of big show boats
- 12:22Speaker 1: or they're big bosses running the whole thing. But le
- 12:25Speaker 1: Sally was a very special guy. That called him the
- 12:27Speaker 1: host whisperer because he if you were Johnny Carson or
- 12:32Speaker 1: David Letterman, he was the guy you really trusted. He
- 12:34Speaker 1: was the guy that was close to you. He was
- 12:36Speaker 1: the guy who would be like your psychologist, your you know,
- 12:41Speaker 1: like your father, like your coach. That was Peter le
- 12:43Speaker 1: Sally died at the age of ninety three. Started out
- 12:46Speaker 1: with Arthur Godfrey. Good training because Godfrey and a lot
- 12:49Speaker 1: of people don't remember this name. He was the biggest
- 12:52Speaker 1: star in the world in the fifties. He had like
- 12:55Speaker 1: three separate primetime TV series going at the same time.
- 13:00Speaker 1: He was so big, and he was the most ugly, vicious,
- 13:04Speaker 1: nastiest guy on the air. He was very folksy. Hey
- 13:08Speaker 1: how WHI Yeah, he was a nice, folksy guy. As
- 13:11Speaker 1: soon as the camera would go off, he was the
- 13:12Speaker 1: most vicious, ugly guy ever. But lo Sally worked for
- 13:17Speaker 1: him with good training, and then went to work for
- 13:21Speaker 1: Mike Wallace, who before sixty minutes was doing a talk show.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Sole Sally started working for this local Mike Wallace talk
- 13:28Speaker 1: show in New York, and lo Sally had a real
- 13:31Speaker 1: eye for talent. He found this unknown singer he put
- 13:35Speaker 1: on named Barbara streisand I gave her some of her
- 13:39Speaker 1: first appearances. He found he discovered people like I Mort
- 13:41Speaker 1: Sahl and Shelley Berman and Nicholson may So then he
- 13:46Speaker 1: goes to work for Carson, a young Carson who had
- 13:50Speaker 1: just taken over the Tonight Show, and stays there till
- 13:52Speaker 1: the very end, so it's like almost thirty years. It
- 13:56Speaker 1: was twenty nine years. Peterle Sally was with Carson, and
- 14:00Speaker 1: it was Johnny Carson that created the David Letterman Show.
- 14:03Speaker 1: He owned the Letterman Show, so he kind of assigned
- 14:06Speaker 1: le Sally to get that thing going. Le Sally got
- 14:09Speaker 1: very close to Letterman and then when Carson went off
- 14:11Speaker 1: the here, he went to work for Letterman. Fold. I
- 14:14Speaker 1: remember Letterman wanted the Tonight Show. They didn't give it
- 14:17Speaker 1: to him. He didn't know what to do. So it
- 14:19Speaker 1: was really Peter Losally that got him the CBS deal.
- 14:23Speaker 1: He got him Mike Ovitz, the super powered agent to
- 14:26Speaker 1: help him, and they got him over to CBS. And
- 14:29Speaker 1: then Letterman had that great run over there, even beating
- 14:32Speaker 1: Leno and Letterman went off the are Le Sally, you know,
- 14:37Speaker 1: kind of retired, although Craig Ferguson got him to where
- 14:40Speaker 1: he worked for Craig Ferguson for a little Well, now
- 14:42Speaker 1: in his long list of credits, look at this. I
- 14:48Speaker 1: didn't know this. A million years ago, before he was
- 14:53Speaker 1: even working for Godfrey, Peter Lesally worked at w R Radio.
- 15:00Speaker 1: He worked on a WOR radio program hosted by Ruby Mercer.
- 15:04Speaker 1: He produced her show, and uh there was a time
- 15:09Speaker 1: where he even went on the show to review Broadway plays.
- 15:12Speaker 1: So Peter Lesally worked here at WR. Great man, wonderful guy.
- 15:17Speaker 1: In real life, he and his father survived the Holocaust,
- 15:20Speaker 1: came to America, and then that great career. Hey, we'll
- 15:23Speaker 1: take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two one
- 15:26Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number? Eight hundred three two
- 15:30Speaker 1: one zero seven ten.
