• 0:02
  Speaker 2: One wr Well, we're looking for Liz Pig all right,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: we'll find her. Michael Goodwin's away this week. Let me
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: just look at the weather because today might be the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: most normal day of the week, but there is no
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: there's no chance of rain. Yeah, it's gonna be in
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the eighties. Now it's gonna get it's gonna get rough
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: this week, so tomorrow it'll be eighty nine. That's not
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: so bad. Wednesday, you know what, they're actually bringing it
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: down a little. Wednesday's ninety five, Thursday's ninety nine, Friday
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the same. They had it over one hundred before. It's
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: down to ninety nine. Now fourth of July, which is
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a Saturday, it's gonna be Actually they're bringing it down
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: a little ninety three, So it's possible this heat wave
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: comes down just a bit. However, there's a good chance
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: of a thunderstorm in the afternoon and uh yeah, that
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: could could be a problem on the fourth of July. So,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: uh you know, NBC was bought by Comcast years ago.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It's part of this big Comcast empire. Brian Roberts the chairman,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and it's an enormous conglomerate. But they've had enough of NBC. Uh,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: they want to get rid of it. So uh now
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you're gonna, you're gonna they'll spin it. Of course that
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: NBC is so big that they want to spin it
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: off into its own public company. It's a way of
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: getting rid of it because it's a bad business for Comcasts.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: At the time, way back when woh own NBC was
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a big deal. You remember when ge was going to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: sell NBC. People were all over the place, the billionaires
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: of the world, the big companies bidding trying to buy NBC.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: What a big thing that would be to own the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: NBC TV network. Well, now Comcast has had it for years.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: They'd like to get it the hell off their books.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a dying business. Nobody watches network TV anymore.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: All in network television is twenty five million people, the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: three networks. That's all they get. Twenty five million. AM
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: radio gets sixty three million, AMFM gets one hundred and
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: fifty nine million. So for the networks, they have twenty
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: five million and NBC's only got about a third of that.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: It's a business that's not good, you know. Like here
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the Bill Maher gets the Mark Twain Award. That's a
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: big TV special. It's on Netflix this year. It's not
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: on the networks, it's not on CBS, it's not on NBC.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: It's going to be on Netflix. So it makes more
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: sense to own something like Netflix. So Comcasts needs to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: get rid of NBC. They're separating it into a different company.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: They'll make an IPO out of it. They'll spin it
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: off and they'll sell stock in it. At least get
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: some money for dumping it. They can't just out now
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: sell it. Comcasts will continue to own nineteen percent of
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the stock, but I'll gradually dump that stock and be
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: done with NBC. They got rid of MSNBC last year.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: They kicked them basically out of the company MSNBC. That's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: why they had to change the name to ms Now
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: it is now a separate company. It's a little company.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: In fact, they were thrown out of the Comcast Building
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and Rockefeller Center. They now operate out of some little
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: studios in Times Square. They're looking for space in New Jersey.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: And you remember when you used to watch MSNBC, when
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: they'd cover the news, actual news. They'd cut to the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: big correspondence all over the world, the NBC News correspondence.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Now they don't have that resource anymore, so they always
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: cut to some half assed stringer that they got somewhere,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and that's about it. The Clive Davis funeral is taking
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: place as we speak, Central Synagogue, Bruce Springsteen, a lot
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: of artists are there, some expected to perform. Now you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: of course, about George Soros, the crazy, kooky George Soros.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: He is spending a ton of money on the midterms,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a massive amount already. It's already spent one hundred and
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: three million already and that number could double by the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: time the midterms come around. This will be a new
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: record for Soros. The last record was four years ago.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: He spent one hundred and twenty eight million on the midterms.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: This one guy one hundred and twenty eight million, so
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: figure he goes to two hundred million this year. He's
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: already spent one hundred and three million on the mid terms.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: He runs it through these packs of his and distributes
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: it to democratic and socialists and crazy causes. Sorous is
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: pretty old, he's old and feeble, and the sun really
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: runs this. This is Alex Soros, who's forty. The son
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: is running most of this, So maybe the son is
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: trying to deliberately break the father's record. But these guys
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: financing all of this crap. I know it's bad for America.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It hurts America, but that's what these guys want because
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: they know how to profit off that. The other Soros,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the competitor who may even be bigger is a guy
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: named Neville Roy Singham. He operates out of China. He's
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: a Soros, but he moved to China and operates out
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: of Shanghai and he's protected by the Chinese government and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: he's financed by them as well. But we'll get back
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: to that because the Dustice Department is about to go
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: after him. But we found Liz Peak. Well, Liz Peak,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Yepe?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: We don't hear? Uh, Liz Peak? Are you there? Let
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: me push it in here, Liz Peak. Do we have
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: you now?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have me.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Sorry to be joining, I'm good, I'm good. So hey,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: we're talking about all these crazy socialists that got elected.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: So the people analyzing this say it had nothing to
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: do with affordability. These young crazy voters, they're really voting
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: anti Israel. They're voting because they hate Trump so much
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and they think the Old Guard wasn't effective against Trump.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of truth in that.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: And actually yesterday I was thinking, you know, when Trump
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: is out of it, and if there is peace in
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: the Middle East and Israel and Palestinians come to some
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: sort of Israel and Lebanon's sort of martink, all this
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: goes away.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like and remember that all these.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Atis groups cycle through causes, right, it's Black Lives Matter,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: and then the next thing, you know, it's free Palestine.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think I don't think they're wetted
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: to these causes. And I do think yet that that
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: is the anti Israel thing is the most motivating of
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: all these issues that are out there, certainly more than
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: your rent have going up five percent.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: So when you know, back before Mamdani was elected, we
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: did a forum on getting Republican voters out. You know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: could Republicans have any kind of voice in this election?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: The expert at the end of there was no. But
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: when there was a.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Young activist guy who was on a panel that I
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: spoke on, and he said, as he as he talked
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: to people in the street, the number one.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Thing for young old Jews, non Jews.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: That drove them to vote for mom Donni was the
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Israel question, and I thought that was really pretty stunning,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: And obviously it's had a huge impact on the Jewish vote.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Jews seventy historically have voted for Democrats. Now they are
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: really angry about about this shift to the anti Israel
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party, but there's a good forty percent of them
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: young people who voted for Mamdani. So it's really scrambled
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: traditional voting blocks. The only thing I'd say that makes
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: me somewhat hopeful. I don't know if you heard Raphael
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Warnock yesterday on CNN, but he basically, after all, representing Georgia,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: which is a swing state and has a lot of
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: conservative black voters, he was kind of like, well, you know, I.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Don't think we have to. I don't agree.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Country without borders is not a country, A city without
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: police is not safe, et cetera. So I do think
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: you got some solid pushback from, for example, conservative blacks,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: and I think you're going to get more pushback from
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: the Jewish population.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: We just haven't seen it yet.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we only go a minute left. But what it's caused,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the what normally would have been the mainstream guys like
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Schumer or think Pritzker. You wrote about Pritzk. It's causing
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: these people to act like wacos. Yeah, don't they realize.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Because they're scared. They're scared.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Schumer, I think is really the most abjectly cowardly of
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: all the Democrats and leadership positions. Right now, he is
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the number one elected Jewish representative.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just a fair way of saying it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And he represents New York.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: His problem is that Alexandrio Costo Cortez, a Democratic Socialist,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: has her sits on challengeing Schumer to become, you know,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: to replace him in the Senate, and right now and
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: actually over the last year mark, the polling would suggest
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: that she has a shot of doing that. So Schumer
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: is terrified of alienating these young anti Israel voters, and
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: so he has not stood up when there are overt
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: anti Semitic. Forget anti Israel, the anti Semitism that's come
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: to light in the Democratic Party is so offensive, but
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: apparently it no longer offends Chuck Schumer. I mean, I
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: hope people dump him, frankly, because he's just turned out
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: to be such an incredible cynical pall, you know, but
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: shame on him.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, we're out of time, but we started late.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: We'll have to make up.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: For Yeah, I'm so sorry, probably on me.
