Speaker 1: This is seven Tor Boy, The Mark Simon Show starts.
0:06
Speaker 2: Now, Hey, it's Friday. We've got through the week. We
0:10
Speaker 2: got a lot to get to. Today, we'll get to
0:13
Speaker 2: the loss of our great friend, the beloved Ernie and
0:16
Speaker 2: ASTs we'll talk about him. We'll get to we'll give
0:18
Speaker 2: you the very latest on the war in a couple
0:21
Speaker 2: of minutes. We'll get to the save act that, we'll
0:24
Speaker 2: get to crazy Mom, Donnie, he's doing even more crazy stuff.
0:28
Speaker 2: Speaking of crazy, that sheriff in the Nancy Guthrie case
0:33
Speaker 2: sounding a little nuts and a little suspicious. We'll get
0:36
Speaker 2: to all of that coming up, and let's get you
0:40
Speaker 2: the latest on the war. RAN's new leader, son of
0:43
Speaker 2: the Iahtola, the new Iahtola, is now believed to be
0:47
Speaker 2: not only wounded we kept saying as a facial lacerations,
0:50
Speaker 2: it's now believed he's probably disfigured. In fact, Secretary Hexath
0:56
Speaker 2: on camera this morning, daring him to appear on camera
1:00
Speaker 2: and let's see what he looks like. We know he
1:01
Speaker 2: lost a leg, we know he's been in a coma,
1:04
Speaker 2: severe facial lacerations, but Hexith saying, and he would have
1:08
Speaker 2: more intelligence on this than anybody that he has disfigured,
1:12
Speaker 2: and that's why written statements are coming out, and he
1:16
Speaker 2: has not spoken publicly about anything. So we'll see what
1:20
Speaker 2: happens with that. Straits of horn Moose will probably get reopened,
1:25
Speaker 2: probably next week. The attacks on these tankers are done
1:29
Speaker 2: in two ways. One by drones which are unmanned and
1:34
Speaker 2: can be directed from far away drones with explosives. And
1:37
Speaker 2: the other thing is these speedboats loaded with explosives that
1:41
Speaker 2: hit the tanker. Those are also unmanned and like a drone,
1:45
Speaker 2: can be controlled from many miles away. So you got
1:47
Speaker 2: to get rid of all this stuff. They're getting rid
1:49
Speaker 2: of those speedboats one by one. You just got to
1:51
Speaker 2: take them all out. As far as drones, and these
1:54
Speaker 2: are the most dangerous. Missiles are easier to blow up
2:00
Speaker 2: or stop because we can see the launchers, we can
2:02
Speaker 2: see where they're launched from. We've taken out ninety percent
2:05
Speaker 2: of the missiles. Ninety percent of the missiles are gone.
2:08
Speaker 2: Drones are tougher because you can't see them. They might
2:11
Speaker 2: be hidden in a basement in a garage until they're
2:14
Speaker 2: suddenly pulled out. But it's believed we've taken out ninety
2:17
Speaker 2: five percent of their drones. Ran yesterday released a picture,
2:24
Speaker 2: a photograph of a warehouse that they had filled with
2:28
Speaker 2: the state of the art drones, hundreds and hundreds of
2:31
Speaker 2: drones in this warehouse. They released the pictures, I guess
2:34
Speaker 2: to intimidate us, but they're probably not thinking in the
2:38
Speaker 2: pictures that they released. There's probably some tags in there,
2:42
Speaker 2: meta tags data somewhere in the pictures that might give
2:45
Speaker 2: a hint as to where they're located. So not too
2:49
Speaker 2: smart on their part. Now, you've got to remember something,
2:51
Speaker 2: at the end of a war, at the end of
2:53
Speaker 2: a war, casualties go way way up. Always at the
2:58
Speaker 2: end of the war with Japan, in the last few weeks,
3:00
Speaker 2: they went crazy fighting back. It's a last dying breath,
3:04
Speaker 2: last gasp, and they killed more Americans in those last
3:07
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Something happened in Afghanistan. So when you
3:10
Speaker 2: see it ramping up, when you see more returned fire,
3:14
Speaker 2: more casual that's when you know they're in their last
3:16
Speaker 2: throws and dying. We lost four servicemen yesterday. And now
3:21
Speaker 2: this was not in a combat or fire or friendly fire.
3:24
Speaker 2: It was a refueling plane that crashed, not in Iran,
3:28
Speaker 2: but in Iraq. They still haven't figured out what caused
3:30
Speaker 2: the crash, but we lost four people. They would bring
3:34
Speaker 2: it up to about ten service people lost in the
3:38
Speaker 2: last few weeks, which is horrible. But you also have
3:40
Speaker 2: to remember, and people aren't aware of this, we lose
3:43
Speaker 2: a lot of servicemen and women without war, just in
3:47
Speaker 2: training accidents, about thirty five a year. That's like three
3:50
Speaker 2: a month that we lose. It happens all the time
3:53
Speaker 2: with war without war, but it's just just terrible. They're
3:58
Speaker 2: less launches every day of missiles and and all that stuff.
4:02
Speaker 2: They are haven't st the president. We don't know what
4:06
Speaker 2: it is, but he is talking about unleashing weapons on
4:09
Speaker 2: Iran that nobody has seen yet. He did that in
4:12
Speaker 2: Venezuela with those combobulator bombs that just made everybody paralyzed instantly.
4:18
Speaker 2: So there's apparently some stuff they're gonna unleash at any
4:21
Speaker 2: point in Iran. And yesterday, it was last night on
4:28
Speaker 2: X and Twitter that he made that statement. That's got
4:31
Speaker 2: everybody upset. Now, you got to remember, people that hate
4:34
Speaker 2: the president, they go nuts when he says these crazy things.
4:37
Speaker 2: People that love the president back what he's doing. But
4:41
Speaker 2: then sometimes he'll say something and they'll go, oh God,
4:43
Speaker 2: why does he have to talk like that? Why does
4:45
Speaker 2: he have to say things like that? Well, that's the
4:47
Speaker 2: way he is. He will shoot his mouth off. He's
4:51
Speaker 2: not a politician. He's totally unfiltered. He will say things
4:55
Speaker 2: you're not supposed to say. He'll talk in away you're
4:57
Speaker 2: not supposed to talk. But is the great New York
5:00
Speaker 2: legend Robert Morgenthaw, who was one of the smartest guys
5:04
Speaker 2: I ever knew. And we were all together, Donald Trump,
5:10
Speaker 2: Robert Morganhal, myself, and a whole bunch of people. And
5:14
Speaker 2: when he'd leave the room, Trump would leave the room.
5:17
Speaker 2: Sometimes people would say to Morgan, though, what is it
5:19
Speaker 2: with that? Why does he have to worry? And Morganhal
5:22
Speaker 2: would always say, and you should always remember this rule
5:24
Speaker 2: he goes when it comes to Donald. Never listen to
5:27
Speaker 2: what he says. Just watch what he does. And it's
5:31
Speaker 2: a good rule. Don't pay attention to anything he says.
5:33
Speaker 2: Just watch what he does. And if you look back
5:35
Speaker 2: on his track record, he gets it done, He gets results.
5:39
Speaker 2: He accomplishes things nobody ever thought would get accomplished. We
5:43
Speaker 2: were talking about yesterday, every president and politician for fifty
5:47
Speaker 2: years promised to end our dependency on foreign oil. He
5:51
Speaker 2: actually got it done. He did it, so he'll get
5:54
Speaker 2: it done now. The other thing is you got what
5:57
Speaker 2: they call the pannikins as opposed to Republicans, the Pannicans
6:00
Speaker 2: who panic every time you were in the middle of something.
6:03
Speaker 2: You remember when the terriffs were first announced and the
6:05
Speaker 2: stock market plunged a billion points in five seconds and
6:08
Speaker 2: everybody was panicking. Well, it not only came right back
6:11
Speaker 2: two weeks later, but it went to all time highs,
6:13
Speaker 2: it set new records. So it's the same thing here.
6:16
Speaker 2: Oil prices will spike. Straits of her moose are closed.
6:20
Speaker 2: This has happened before with the straits of her moose.
6:21
Speaker 2: There's a lot of times in the past during wars,
6:24
Speaker 2: during the Gulf War, during the Iraq War, during this
6:27
Speaker 2: war where you couldn't get through the straits of her
6:29
Speaker 2: moose and ships were being attacked and ended up needing
6:34
Speaker 2: the navy escort. This has happened before. So you'll see
6:37
Speaker 2: this spike and it'll all get resolved, and it'll spike
6:41
Speaker 2: will go away. Not only will oil prices come down,
6:43
Speaker 2: they'll hit all time lows after all of this is
6:46
Speaker 2: over to another rule to remember, don't follow the big
6:52
Speaker 2: Washington experts or the media experts when they tell you
6:56
Speaker 2: about Trump. In fact, a good rule. A lot of
6:58
Speaker 2: gamblers have figured this out. Whatever the experts tell you,
7:02
Speaker 2: bet against them. Whatever Trump tells you, bet with them.
7:05
Speaker 2: Don't go with the experts. And what they tell you
7:07
Speaker 2: is going to happen, it won't happen. Now, there is
7:11
Speaker 2: an island called Carg Island. It's a little island, but
7:15
Speaker 2: it contains almost all of the oil refinery, supplies all
7:19
Speaker 2: the tanks of Iran. Carg Island is like ninety two
7:24
Speaker 2: percent of the oil export capability of Iran. Everything is
7:29
Speaker 2: on Carg Island. We have not hit it. That's a final,
7:32
Speaker 2: absolute last straw. If we had to. If we took
7:36
Speaker 2: out carg Island, that is the end of Iran as
7:39
Speaker 2: far as their economy. It would completely devastate their economy
7:43
Speaker 2: for decades. So we haven't hit it. We could also
7:47
Speaker 2: seize it and try to just take it from them,
7:49
Speaker 2: or we could also just blow it up and that's
7:51
Speaker 2: the end of any hope of an economy ever ever
7:54
Speaker 2: coming back in Iran. So kind of crazy that they
7:57
Speaker 2: put everything on that one island. But the president at
8:01
Speaker 2: some point will threaten him with carg Island if they
8:04
Speaker 2: don't get a new regime. The crazy thing he said
8:06
Speaker 2: today was as she was. Last night he put out
8:09
Speaker 2: a tweet that Iran was threatening us again, and then
8:13
Speaker 2: he said on Twitter, this is in writing, way do
8:16
Speaker 2: you see what they get hit with tomorrow? And his
8:19
Speaker 2: exact words were, way, do you see what we do
8:21
Speaker 2: to these deranged scumbags tomorrow. You're not supposed to talk
8:26
Speaker 2: like that when you're a president. I think the reason
8:28
Speaker 2: for it was, you know, these old deep state guys,
8:32
Speaker 2: these Washington swamp people, they're all yelling and screamage. The
8:35
Speaker 2: messaging is wrong. He's got to have the right messaging.
8:37
Speaker 2: You really don't. You can have confused, contradictory messaging. It's
8:42
Speaker 2: actually a great idea because it just confuses the enemy.
8:45
Speaker 2: You don't want clear messaging because then the enemy knows
8:48
Speaker 2: where you are, what you're going to do. And when
8:51
Speaker 2: they say, well, he hasn't explained the purpose that you
8:53
Speaker 2: don't need to explain the purpose of this. You're talking
8:55
Speaker 2: about the Iotola, biggest terrorist in the world with his
8:58
Speaker 2: death to America. Team shirt funding, Hesbala, the hoodies, every terrorist,
9:04
Speaker 2: everything on it. It's the biggest terrorist on Earth. You
9:05
Speaker 2: don't have to explain why you took him out. That's
9:07
Speaker 2: pretty obvious. But you're not supposed to talk like that
9:10
Speaker 2: with the range scumbag. You're not supposed to use that
9:13
Speaker 2: kind of language. So what happened about thirty six hours
9:17
Speaker 2: ago to actually about twenty four hours ago, they got
9:20
Speaker 2: I don't want to mention names here, but a bunch
9:22
Speaker 2: of the inner circle of the president got some of
9:25
Speaker 2: the wisest old Washington hands on how you're supposed to
9:29
Speaker 2: talk in a situation like this, and the conference to
9:33
Speaker 2: him in with President Trump to tell him how to
9:36
Speaker 2: message this, how to address this, how to speak to this.
9:40
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys told me this. I said, first
9:43
Speaker 2: of all, this is going to last ten minutes and
9:44
Speaker 2: they'll forget about it. But also, you know, him will
9:47
Speaker 2: probably go the opposode. I think that's what happened. This
9:49
Speaker 2: was a reaction to that conference call, which he didn't
9:52
Speaker 2: want to hear. So, hey, we'll get to Corey Lewandowski
9:55
Speaker 2: coming up. He may have some real trouble. Hey, an
10:00
Speaker 2: asked this, the legendary New York news man. Was one
10:03
Speaker 2: of the finest people I ever knew. He was the
10:06
Speaker 2: nicest guy ever. You know that big, smiling, happy, positive
10:09
Speaker 2: Ernie you saw on TV, Well, that was Ernie off
10:12
Speaker 2: the air every second.
10:13
Speaker 3: Every day, everywhere.
10:15
Speaker 2: Everybody that knew him loved him. Everybody that ever worked
10:19
Speaker 2: with him loved him. I don't know anybody else you
10:21
Speaker 2: could say that about, but people loved Ernie Anaskedes. He
10:25
Speaker 2: was a terrific guy, an excellent newsman. He came to
10:28
Speaker 2: New York. It was back in the seventies and those
10:32
Speaker 2: days TV news, local TV news was.
10:34
Speaker 3: A very big deal.
10:36
Speaker 2: It's not anymore. Very few people watched the six or
10:38
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock news. It's not a big deal. They're lucky
10:41
Speaker 2: if they have a few hundred thousand people watching. But
10:44
Speaker 2: in those days, six o'clock eleven o'clock news on Channel seven,
10:49
Speaker 2: Channel four, Channel two, millions of people would watch, and
10:52
Speaker 2: the anchors were getting millions of dollars a year, and
10:55
Speaker 2: it was a big deal, and those anchors were of
10:58
Speaker 2: amazing quality. You go back, you look at can you
11:01
Speaker 2: name the anchors on Channel two right now? No, who's
11:05
Speaker 2: the six o'clock news anchor on Channel four. I don't know,
11:08
Speaker 2: nobody knows. I watch it, I don't know who it is.
11:10
Speaker 2: Nobody knows weather people, you don't know who they're, nobody
11:14
Speaker 2: knows who they are.
11:16
Speaker 3: Nobody.
11:17
Speaker 2: So back then it was Legends, it was Channel seven,
11:20
Speaker 2: it was Roger Grimsby and Bill Butell really really really
11:24
Speaker 2: top top newsman. And then even the rest of the
11:27
Speaker 2: cast it was Warner wolf on Sports, Storm Field in
11:30
Speaker 2: the weather. And then the young guy that came in
11:33
Speaker 2: there to join the group was Ernie Anastes, and he
11:37
Speaker 2: was everywhere. He was a Channel two for a while,
11:38
Speaker 2: Channel four, not Channel four, Channel two, Channel seven, then
11:42
Speaker 2: Channel nine, then Channel five, and.
11:46
Speaker 3: A great guy in real life.
11:48
Speaker 2: He had been a DJ when in fact I was
11:49
Speaker 2: a little kid, I remember hearing this DJ on the air,
11:52
Speaker 2: Ernie Andrews. I found out later that was Ernie Anasties.
11:56
Speaker 2: At that time they want am using his name. But
11:58
Speaker 2: he was an honest, decent broadcaster you could trust. And
12:02
Speaker 2: he always talked about that.
12:04
Speaker 4: If you have a sense of your purpose, it doesn't
12:06
Speaker 4: have to be some lofty thing. It just could be
12:08
Speaker 4: a sense of this is why I'm here, this is
12:10
Speaker 4: why I'm here, this is why I live that's right.
12:12
Speaker 4: I'm making a difference somehow. That's how I feel about
12:15
Speaker 4: my work.
12:15
Speaker 2: And you hear the way you talk. You always had
12:17
Speaker 2: that smile in his voice, that positive smile in his voice.
12:20
Speaker 4: I'm hoping that maybe, you know, we'll say, Okay, we'll
12:22
Speaker 4: strike the balance. Let's give them the news, put it
12:25
Speaker 4: in a right perspective, but also give them some other
12:27
Speaker 4: positive things to think about, so we can feel that
12:29
Speaker 4: there is some There's a keyword, hope.
12:32
Speaker 5: Okay.
12:33
Speaker 4: If we lose hope, we've lost everything. And I'll say
12:36
Speaker 4: one last thing, Maya Angelo. She was wonderful and in
12:39
Speaker 4: terms of like what we do. People may not remember
12:42
Speaker 4: what you said or what you did, but they'll remember
12:45
Speaker 4: how you made them feel.
12:48
Speaker 2: Now here's another thing about and you don't see this anymore,
12:51
Speaker 2: and you Ernie Assis very well for about I don't know,
12:54
Speaker 2: thirty years. I probably had lunch with them five million times,
12:57
Speaker 2: dinner with them a billion times, talk to them trillions
13:00
Speaker 2: of hours, and yet I still have no idea where
13:05
Speaker 2: he stood politically. I have no idea if he was
13:07
Speaker 2: a Democrat or Republican. I don't know if he liked
13:10
Speaker 2: Trump like he was absolutely neutral. That's the way he's
13:14
Speaker 2: supposed to be as a newsman. You know him back then,
13:19
Speaker 2: you really didn't. You know, you could watch Johnny Carson
13:22
Speaker 2: every night, five nights a week for twenty you didn't
13:24
Speaker 2: know where he stood politically. You could never tell Jay Leno,
13:28
Speaker 2: who always did political jokes every night, but you still
13:33
Speaker 2: you couldn't tell. Is he a Democrat as a republic
13:35
Speaker 2: couldn't tell. And that's really the way it's supposed to be.
13:39
Speaker 2: But he was an amazing, amazing guy. Funeral will be
13:43
Speaker 2: on Monday in Westchester. He lived in Westchester, was in
13:47
Speaker 2: New York all the time, was here all the time
13:48
Speaker 2: at w.
13:49
Speaker 3: O r Hey.
13:50
Speaker 2: Check out my Instagram. There's some Ernie pictures and some
13:52
Speaker 2: Ernie video up there. Mark Simone NYC at Instagram and
13:58
Speaker 2: a lot of great tributes yesterday, day, today, this morning,
14:02
Speaker 2: just endless tributes to Ernie an Astes, really really great guy.
14:07
Speaker 2: Remember yesterday were talking about Bill O'Reilly. It was the
14:10
Speaker 2: day before Bill O'Reilly was on You remember that clip
14:12
Speaker 2: you've seen that video where the control room screws up
14:15
Speaker 2: and he's screaming at him and he goes, what, well,
14:17
Speaker 2: don't live Remember that? And I pointed out, that's every host,
14:22
Speaker 2: every anchor man ever in television. I eat the nicest ones,
14:26
Speaker 2: the worst ones. There's always a moment where the control
14:28
Speaker 2: room is screwing up like crazy and the anchor will
14:31
Speaker 2: start yelling and cursing at it. It's happens not all
14:34
Speaker 2: the time, but once in a while. Every host, every host,
14:38
Speaker 2: and anchor has done that at some point, except if
14:44
Speaker 2: there's one guy that didn't do it. I think it
14:48
Speaker 2: was I don't think he's ever yelled at anybody ever.
14:50
Speaker 2: Maybe Regius, maybe Regis too, But those are at least
14:54

Speaker 9: operations have been going great. My concern is about the
16:35
Speaker 9: There was a report last week about California being hit
16:39
Speaker 9: with Yeah, let me.
16:40
Speaker 2: Just clear that up. The report is totally false, apparently
16:43
Speaker 2: totally false. ABC News getting a lot of flak from
16:46
Speaker 2: the White House for spreading that story. Absolutely, I missed.
16:50
Speaker 9: I missed that because Israel got hit with drones with
16:53
Speaker 9: cluster bombs.
16:54
Speaker 2: That there are no no we know that the cluster
16:56
Speaker 2: bombs hit.
16:57
Speaker 3: But here it is.
16:58
Speaker 2: Caroline Levett yesterday, going after ABC news completely false report
17:03
Speaker 2: about a possible drone strike against California. White House spokesman
17:09
Speaker 2: called the report totally misleading, totally false, and there's no
17:13
Speaker 2: credible threat from anything anything to do with that. ABC
17:18
Speaker 2: News has yet to apologize for it. Let's go to
17:21
Speaker 2: Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing. Good morning, Mark
17:25
Speaker 2: guess Mike.
17:26
Speaker 7: I used to work over at the CBS building there
17:30
Speaker 7: for many, many years, and there was a small restroom
17:34
Speaker 7: in away from the studios that I would use. Invariably,
17:38
Speaker 7: I'd go in there and there would be Ernie doing,
17:41
Speaker 7: you know, putting his own powder on he was It
17:43
Speaker 7: wasn't makeup per se, it was his powder and combing
17:46
Speaker 7: his hair in the in the in the mirror, and
17:49
Speaker 7: it was just like just show how you know how
17:51
Speaker 7: down to earth he was. You know that he wasn't
17:53
Speaker 7: one of these primadatas in the makeup chapter seven hours
17:56
Speaker 7: like some of the others over.
17:57
Speaker 3: There, you know.
17:58
Speaker 7: And it was always a great I always got to
18:00
Speaker 7: kick out of it.
18:02
Speaker 5: Yeah.
18:03
Speaker 3: There he is, Yeah, wonderful.
18:05
Speaker 7: Yeah, a guy of his stature, you know, especially.
18:08
Speaker 2: All right, Mike, great call. Yes, some guys, some of
18:10
Speaker 2: the biggest stars like to do their own makeup. The
18:12
Speaker 2: real reason is I do this myself. I put my
18:16
Speaker 2: own makeup because if you sit in that chair, they're
18:18
Speaker 2: all great, these makeup artists, they're really great. But you'll
18:21
Speaker 2: be there for an hour and they'll put forty seven
18:23
Speaker 2: thousand things on your face. They'll put endless stuff all
18:26
Speaker 2: over your face. And then you need, like after the show,
18:29
Speaker 2: you need easy off, Like to get it off. It's
18:31
Speaker 2: impossible and it goes all over your shirt and it's
18:34
Speaker 2: a mess. But and most big, big, big, big, long long,
18:38
Speaker 2: long time TV stars they knew exactly what they wanted
18:41
Speaker 2: for makeup. They didn't want to have to explain it
18:44
Speaker 2: to the makeup artists. They knew they want Max Studio
18:46
Speaker 2: fixed thirty right here twenty five on this part of
18:49
Speaker 2: their face. Let's go to Mike in bayside. Mike, how
18:52
Speaker 2: you doing, Hey.
18:54
Speaker 9: Good morning, Deblarian asked, this was a ridiculous legend.
18:59
Speaker 5: It's kind of like a guy that you if you
19:00
Speaker 5: wanted the truth, you.
19:01
Speaker 6: Put him on. And actually last night.
19:03
Speaker 9: I was having dinner with my mother and her girlfriend.
19:05
Speaker 7: And they were devastated to hear that he died. Like
19:09
Speaker 7: you know, older people, and you know you're talking about
19:12
Speaker 7: Johnny Carson.
19:13
Speaker 6: You know, it would be great to have him around
19:16
Speaker 6: to deal with.
19:17
Speaker 5: Because he doled it out fifty to fifty, so he
19:19
Speaker 5: would he would definitely make fun of.
19:21
Speaker 8: Trump, but he would definitely make fun of GDS people
19:24
Speaker 8: at LGBT, like he would kill both sides.
19:27
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's the idea. You know. The only person
19:30
Speaker 2: who does that today Jimmy Fayla. He got a great
19:33
Speaker 2: show here every night at nine and Saturday nights on
19:36
Speaker 2: the Fox News Channel ten o'clock. He does an opening monologue.
19:38
Speaker 2: It's exactly like Carson fifty fifty, just like Jay Leno.
19:42
Speaker 2: Half the jokes about the Democrats, half the jokes about
19:45
Speaker 2: the Republicans. Now nobody knew if you could watch them
19:49
Speaker 2: every night for twenty thirty years jay Leno, Johnny Carson,
19:52
Speaker 2: you still had no idea where they stood politically, no idea,
19:57
Speaker 2: and if you knew them, Like I said about Ernie,
20:00
Speaker 2: I knew him was well was I gonna know anybody?
20:02
Speaker 2: I have no idea where he stood bluely, no idea
20:06
Speaker 2: I knew Johnny Carson. I got the feeling that in
20:10
Speaker 2: real life he was slightly like a millionth of a
20:13
Speaker 2: me inch to the left of center. But that's about it,
20:16
Speaker 2: jay Leno. I from knowing him, I think was slightly
20:20
Speaker 2: maybe a billionth of a point to the right of center.
20:24
Speaker 2: But otherwise you couldn't tell. Let's go to Bonnie and
20:27
Speaker 2: Tom's river. Bonnie, how you doing?
20:29
Speaker 6: Hi, good morning, how are you good? My question is,
20:33
Speaker 6: you know, with these shuttles shut downs, it's so ridiculous.
20:38
Speaker 6: Can't they put into law that whoever requests the shutdown
20:43
Speaker 6: goes without pay just like everybody else.
20:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good idea. People have talked about that
20:49
Speaker 2: if there's any kind of government shutdown where people aren't
20:51
Speaker 2: getting paid, Congress should stop getting paid. It's a very
20:53
Speaker 2: very good idea would definitely speed things up. By the way,
20:57
Speaker 2: this is Friday at the end of the week. This
21:00
Speaker 2: will be the first week where DHS employees don't get
21:02
Speaker 2: a paycheck. Things were in place to keep them paid
21:05
Speaker 2: for a while, but this will be the first day
21:07
Speaker 2: TSA DHS don't get their paycheck. We'll talk about the
21:11
Speaker 2: next hour, the ridiculous shutdown that's going on now. They
21:16
Speaker 2: got to get this fixed in the next couple of
21:17
Speaker 2: weeks because the second week of April, their Congress has
21:21
Speaker 2: gone for Eastern and I think they're gone the first
21:23
Speaker 2: They're gone like the first two weeks of April, so
21:25
Speaker 2: they really only got two weeks left to fix this. Hey,
21:27
Speaker 2: when we come back to Great Entertainment Reporter Roger Friedman,
21:31
Speaker 2: we'll talk about the oscars and a whole lot more.
21:33
Speaker 2: Just ahead on seven to ten wor here's.
21:37
Speaker 1: More marksimone on seven to ten.
21:39
Speaker 2: Wor Well, Roger Friedman, The Great Entertainment Reporter is website
21:44
Speaker 2: is Showbiz for one one dot com. You should check
21:47
Speaker 2: it out everyday news stories, great stuff, Showbiz for one
21:52
Speaker 2: dot com. Roger Friedman, how you doing, I'm great. How
21:56
Speaker 2: are you this morning? I'm good. Hey, you must have
21:58
Speaker 2: known Ernie Nastis.
22:01
Speaker 5: I didn't really know him, but I loved him. Everyone
22:03
Speaker 5: loved him. The outpouring of love for him is amazing.
22:06
Speaker 5: I mean I met him a couple of times. I
22:08
Speaker 5: see some nice pictures of you on Instagram with him.
22:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was, well you met him, you know,
22:12
Speaker 2: he was just a very happy guy. He kind of
22:15
Speaker 2: put a positive globe every room he came into.
22:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he was also what a career. I mean,
22:20
Speaker 5: he was so popular and you know, tastes change in television,
22:28
Speaker 5: the television world and television news, and they're also looking
22:31
Speaker 5: for the next big thing. But he was always the
22:34
Speaker 5: next big thing because he did eleven years at one
22:37
Speaker 5: station than twelve years at another station. So it was
22:40
Speaker 5: like even when he you know, he just kept going
22:43
Speaker 5: and going and going, and people loved watching him.
22:46
Speaker 2: But there's no more big thing than local television. You know,
22:48
Speaker 2: in the good old days you had Chuck Scarbough, Roger Grimsby, Bill,
22:51
Speaker 2: but tell you don't have that anymore.
22:53
Speaker 5: You can't. I miss Roger Grimsby.
22:55
Speaker 2: Yeah.
22:58
Speaker 5: Bill Utell was a great guy, by the way, did
23:00
Speaker 5: you know him? Yeah, Bill, he was a lovely He
23:04
Speaker 5: was a lovely guy.
23:05
Speaker 2: Very stern, somber newsman. But off the air was like
23:08
Speaker 2: this wild nightclub guy. He was a lot of fun.
23:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was just very He was a lot of fun,
23:13
Speaker 5: very nice and a real newsman. But Ernie and asked
23:16
Speaker 5: this was he was really the like the epitome of
23:19
Speaker 5: New York. And they don't say why he passed, what
23:23
Speaker 5: happened to him, But I hope he didn't have a
23:26
Speaker 5: bad time.
23:27
Speaker 2: I'd been sick for a little while and the final
23:28
Speaker 2: cause was pneumonia.
23:31
Speaker 5: Was yeah, but look at the outpouring of love for
23:34
Speaker 5: him on all the stations last night and on all
23:39
Speaker 5: of our social media. It's just great. I mean, it's
23:42
Speaker 5: that's very rewarding.
23:44
Speaker 2: You know, hey, let's talk about the Oscars. It's Sunday night,
23:47
Speaker 2: the big Oscar ceremony. You know, Yes, it's like local
23:51
Speaker 2: TV news. You knew every name, you knew the big anchors.
23:53
Speaker 2: Now you don't know who they are. Same thing with
23:55
Speaker 2: the Oscars. You had the list of presenters. I don't
23:57
Speaker 2: know who half these people are.
24:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, the list of presenters this year surprised me. But
24:03
Speaker 5: I actually wrote about this a few months ago because
24:06
Speaker 5: you could already tell that the actors who were going
24:09
Speaker 5: to be nominated weren't that well known or weren't big
24:12
Speaker 5: movie star movie stars, you know, and there was like
24:16
Speaker 5: not a lot of glitz. So I kept saying months
24:19
Speaker 5: ago they better get in a lot of the old
24:23
Speaker 5: Hollywood stars or the very well known brand name stars
24:26
Speaker 5: while they're still alive, and get them in there to present.
24:30
Speaker 5: But they didn't get any of them. The only thing
24:33
Speaker 5: they're going to have that I know of so far
24:35
Speaker 5: is that Barbara Streisand is going to speak for like
24:38
Speaker 5: a couple of minutes about Robert Redford. But otherwise, and
24:42
Speaker 5: they certainly my joke was My joke was for the
24:45
Speaker 5: in memorium. They were not going to get Woody Allen
24:47
Speaker 5: for Diane Keaton.
24:50
Speaker 2: I hate to break it you, but nobody under thirty
24:52
Speaker 2: five is going to know who Barbara Streisand is.
24:55
Speaker 5: No they do. She's like a big star, I don't
24:59
Speaker 5: think so.
25:00
Speaker 7: You have a.
25:02
Speaker 5: List of stars. When we were younger, we look forward
25:08
Speaker 5: to seeing Gregory Peck and you know, Myrta Lloyd and
25:11
Speaker 5: all these great stars come and give some glamour to
25:15
Speaker 5: the Oscars. That's what it's supposed to be about. But
25:17
Speaker 5: you know, the Oscars don't have that much glimber anymore
25:20
Speaker 5: because people don't live in Hollywood. They don't live in
25:22
Speaker 5: Los Angeles. There isn't much production in Los Angeles, and
25:27
Speaker 5: it's straining for the movies, you know, to find a
25:30
Speaker 5: huge auguss. I'll tell you what I'm excited about is
25:35
Speaker 5: maybe next year's Oscars because Steven Spielberg has this movie
25:39
Speaker 5: coming out in June called Disclosure Day, and they just
25:43
Speaker 5: dropped the trailer. I have it on Showbiz four one one.
25:46
Speaker 5: This movie looks fantastic. This movie looks like a return
25:50
Speaker 5: to Steven Spielberg, you know, to e t Close Encounters
25:53
Speaker 5: And I can't wait to see it. And I'll bet
25:56
Speaker 5: it's a huge, huge hit.
25:57
Speaker 2: What's a movie about.
25:59
Speaker 5: It's about UFOs and apparently, and the disclosure is that
26:05
Speaker 5: they're finally going to tell the truth about whether there
26:08
Speaker 5: have been UFOs, whether they've been aliens on Earth for
26:11
Speaker 5: the last eighty years, and it's going to make the UFO,
26:18
Speaker 5: you know, conspiracy people go crazy, absolutely crazy. There's a
26:22
Speaker 5: show on the radio overnight, do you. I don't know
26:25
Speaker 5: if you ever listened.
26:26
Speaker 2: To it, Flying Saucer Show.
26:28
Speaker 8: I don't really get to hear it. I love that show,
26:31
Speaker 8: but normal people don't want to hear that you know,
26:35
Speaker 8: people call it and they say they've been abducted by aliens,
26:37
Speaker 8: they're up in spaceships, they've had meetings with them. And
26:41
Speaker 8: this movie is going to make those people. It's going
26:44
Speaker 8: to activate those people all over the world. I mean
26:47
Speaker 8: that Coast to Coast should really have Steven Spielberg on.
26:50
Speaker 8: But the movie looks fantastic and it looks like the
26:55
Speaker 8: cousin of Close Encounters, but even more like you.
26:58
Speaker 5: Know, serious, So I'm excited about that. As far as
27:02
Speaker 5: the Oscars go this weekend, you know, yeah, So it's
27:06
Speaker 5: very strange the presenters are. They're going for very young
27:10
Speaker 5: and everyone's everyone's under fifty or fifty straining it. But
27:16
Speaker 5: they don't have any of the big, big stars. And
27:20
Speaker 5: I'm afraid that the biggest part of the show is
27:22
Speaker 5: going to be the memoriam because you're going to have Redford, Keaton,
27:26
Speaker 5: Gene Hackman, You're going to have all these big people
27:29
Speaker 5: who died during the last year. And that's a downer,
27:33
Speaker 5: do you know what I mean?
27:34
Speaker 2: Hey, the only Oscar movie I saw was Marty Supreme.
27:37
Speaker 2: Is that going to win anything?
27:40
Speaker 5: Marty Supreme is a flashpoint now because Timothy Challome, the
27:45
Speaker 5: star for a long time was in the lead to
27:47
Speaker 5: win Best Actor, but he has screwed up his Oscar
27:51
Speaker 5: campaign in the most unhistoric way. First, he started appearing
27:56
Speaker 5: in orange outfits. They manufactured orange ping pong balls to
28:00
Speaker 5: go with it, and everywhere he went. Plus he totes
28:03
Speaker 5: around Kardashian, this Kylie Jenner, who Hollywood just can't stand,
28:09
Speaker 5: and she's always dressed very trashy looking at all the
28:12
Speaker 5: award shows. He's really build his own career, and in
28:16
Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks there's been like a monumental
28:20
Speaker 5: campaign against him because he did an interview on CNN
28:24
Speaker 5: with Matthew McConaughey and he said that he, you know,
28:27
Speaker 5: he made castigating remarks about ballet and opera and said they,
28:32
Speaker 5: you know, they weren't going to live on as forms
28:35
Speaker 5: of art. And this made everyone angry at him. So
28:38
Speaker 5: I have.
28:40
Speaker 2: Never been to an opera, ballet, What are they getting
28:42
Speaker 2: so uptight about?
28:43
Speaker 5: Well, but they didn't like the idea, and I think
28:47
Speaker 5: that you're going to see Timothey Tallam may not win
28:50
Speaker 5: the Oscar this Sunday, which would be too bad because
28:53
Speaker 5: he really deserved it. But there are other the other
28:56
Speaker 5: people in the category are really good. You have Leonardo
28:58
Speaker 5: DiCaprio who could certainly when Michael B. Jordan from Sinners
29:02
Speaker 5: who's excellent, and Ethan Hawke, who's amazing in Blue Moon,
29:07
Speaker 5: a movie you should rent on video and demand. So
29:13
Speaker 5: Marty Supreme may have ping ponged its way out.
29:15
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Hey, we only got a minute left. What
29:18
Speaker 2: about the Oscar parties? Did you write that they're kind
29:20
Speaker 2: of downsizing a little the big parties?
29:22
Speaker 5: Well, Vanity Fair. You know, Vanity Fair is not the
29:26
Speaker 5: magazine it used to be, and they're struggling for circulation.
29:30
Speaker 5: They've lost a lot of money. They have a new
29:32
Speaker 5: editor who's very young, and they're cutting the party in half,
29:37
Speaker 5: so they're moving to a smaller locale and it's not
29:40
Speaker 5: going to be the big, you know, pageant that it
29:42
Speaker 5: usually is. And yesterday the editor did an interview where
29:46
Speaker 5: he said only people who have who've won oscars can come,
29:50
Speaker 5: but the nominees should forget it. So if you if
29:54
Speaker 5: you're not for an Oscar and you lose, you can't come.
29:58
Speaker 2: So trying to create some fake cash for the party.
30:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's it's not it's not. Vanvey Fair had
30:06
Speaker 5: a crescendo over the last twenty years with oscar parties
30:10
Speaker 5: and you know, fantastic, fabulous people. And now they stop by,
30:14
Speaker 5: they take a picture on the red carpet and then
30:15
Speaker 5: they go to dinner.
30:16
Speaker 3: Yeah.
30:17
Speaker 2: Well, if you want to read more, go to Roger

Speaker 2: So the oscars there Sunday night a week one week
31:08
Speaker 2: from spring beginning. This is the last week of summer.
31:11
Speaker 2: Then right after that you have baseball Opening Day. Hey,
31:14
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people upset because the Yankee Opening
31:18
Speaker 2: Day broadcast will be Netflix only. It's not going to
31:22
Speaker 2: be on television, It'll Netflix only. I would think most
31:25
Speaker 2: people have Netflix. But a lot of people speaking that,
31:29
Speaker 2: even Michael Kay, the Yankee announcer, and a lot of
31:31
Speaker 2: people baseball purists especially, they can't stand this at the
31:36
Speaker 2: opening game of the Yankees because that's a big game.
31:38
Speaker 2: A lot of pageantry and ceremony and a lot of
31:40
Speaker 2: important stuff will not be broadcast. It'll be Netflix only. Now,
31:45
Speaker 2: you can't blame the Yankees because obviously Netflix paid off
31:49
Speaker 2: fortune for that exclusive. Hey, we'll be back in the
31:52
Speaker 2: next hour. Miranda Divine will be with us. We've got
31:55

32:41
Speaker 2: absolutely nuts. I mean, we knew he was like a
32:45
Speaker 2: left wing socialist, antisemitic all have been on top of that,
32:49

32:52

32:56
Speaker 2: two months. Just look at some of the things he said.
32:59
Speaker 2: Remember the terrible shooting of the nutjob. Crazy maniac is
33:04
Speaker 2: out there, shoots the cop. Mom Donnie rushes to the
33:07
Speaker 2: hospital to visit the shooter, not the cop. We've never
33:12
Speaker 2: seen that before ever in history. Goes to the hospital,
33:15
Speaker 2: visits the purp to make sure he's okay. Have you
33:19
Speaker 2: ever heard of anything like that. You're the mayor, this
33:24
Speaker 2: is your cop, you're policeman who was shot. He's supposed
33:26
Speaker 2: to visit him. You're not supposed to go visit the purp,
33:30
Speaker 2: the shooter in the hospital. Absolutely insane. Then he invites
33:36
Speaker 2: the worst guy in the world, that terrorist supporter Khalil
33:41
Speaker 2: Mam Mama whatever his name is, Khalil, who's at Colombia
33:45
Speaker 2: leading this anti Semitic anti Israel charge.
33:49
Speaker 3: There's this.
33:51
Speaker 2: Awful October seventh Holocaust that takes place in Israel. Khalil
33:55
Speaker 2: supports it, he believes in it. Horrible, horrible guy. Thank
33:59
Speaker 2: god the United States decided to deport this guy. You
34:03
Speaker 2: can't get a green card visa. You can't be given
34:07
Speaker 2: a green card to come to the US of visa
34:09
Speaker 2: to come here and then try to just destroy everything
34:12
Speaker 2: and everybody. And if it's about freedom of speech, you
34:16
Speaker 2: got to say on your application, this is what you
34:18
Speaker 2: stand for that when you get here, you're going to
34:20
Speaker 2: lead protests against Israel, against this, against it. But he
34:23
Speaker 2: didn't say any He lied on his application, so they
34:25
Speaker 2: were going to deport him. They had him detained, he
34:29
Speaker 2: was in custody, You get a left wing wacko judge
34:31
Speaker 2: who lets him out, which is not that's bad enough.
34:35
Speaker 2: Then you get the mayor invites him to Gracie Mansion
34:39
Speaker 2: to have dinner there. It's absolutely insane. Mom, Donnie's still
34:42
Speaker 2: getting flak for that yesterday. Tried to explain it.
34:45
Speaker 10: When he was detained by ice agents, flown to Louisiana
34:49
Speaker 10: and held in an ice facility, and he was held
34:52
Speaker 10: there for months and the only charge that was levied
34:56
Speaker 10: against him was the exercising of his First Amendment rights.
35:00
Speaker 2: Well, actually no, it was leading all kinds of terrible disruptions.
35:05
Speaker 2: And you know, if you hate us that much, don't
35:08
Speaker 2: come here. Don't come here. You know, if you love
35:12
Speaker 2: Hamas that much, go over there, go join them. But this,
35:16
Speaker 2: mam Donni's just one crazy thing after another. Now the latest,
35:21
Speaker 2: you know, there was some flack over the homeless. He
35:26
Speaker 2: remember how bad things got in the month of February.
35:30
Speaker 2: I remember that cold spell where like temperature, the real field
35:33
Speaker 2: temperature was like minus ten degrees. It was unbelievably cold.
35:37
Speaker 2: And Mamdani orders the cops and all the agencies, don't
35:40
Speaker 2: bother the homeless. If they want to stay out in
35:42
Speaker 2: the street, let them stay out. And the result was
35:44
Speaker 2: seventeen died out in the streets. So you got to
35:47
Speaker 2: do something. You know, we have these shelters, and the
35:50
Speaker 2: problem is you got politicians running, and politicians, whether it's
35:54
Speaker 2: Tablasi or types like that, they're just totally incompetent. I
35:57
Speaker 2: mean they're nice guys, they can make a nice speech,
36:00
Speaker 2: but they're not managers. They don't know how to run anything.
36:03
Speaker 2: You know, they'll tell you, well, the shelter's not safe,
36:07
Speaker 2: shelter is infested with rats. Well if that's the case,
36:13
Speaker 2: go fix it. That happens all the time.
36:15
Speaker 5: You know.
36:16
Speaker 2: When guys like Trump are the great builders of New York,
36:19
Speaker 2: sometimes they buy an old building and you know, that's
36:22
Speaker 2: how the meatpacking district started. When the great Irwin Cohen
36:26
Speaker 2: he bought the old Chelsea Market, it was all run down.
36:29
Speaker 2: He ended up creating the meatpacking District, the most spectacular
36:31
Speaker 2: thing in the world. But he used to tell me
36:33
Speaker 2: when he bought it it was disgusting. It was filled
36:36
Speaker 2: with rats and roaches and drug dealers and hookers and junkies,
36:40
Speaker 2: and it was a crack then. So if he had
36:43
Speaker 2: the Dplasio approach, he'd say, oh boy, we can't go
36:46
Speaker 2: in there. Nothing we can do. No, they went in
36:48
Speaker 2: there and cleaned it out. You come in with a
36:50
Speaker 2: lot of cops and a thousand exterminators and you clean
36:53
Speaker 2: it out and you fix it up. So you could
36:55
Speaker 2: do that with these shelters. If they're that bad, fix them.
37:00
Speaker 2: It's that If that were Rudy Giuliani, he'd be back
37:02
Speaker 2: at the shelter the next day with forty cops and
37:05
Speaker 2: fifty exterminators and they'd clean the place up and then
37:09
Speaker 2: you'd run the shelters. They're not safe. Put some cops
37:12
Speaker 2: in there, make them sick. But politicians can't figure that out.
37:15
Speaker 2: So what do you do with the homeless? Well, Mom,
37:17
Speaker 2: Donnie just signed a contract yesterday for two billion dollars.
37:23
Speaker 2: This is coming out of our paychecks. A contract for
37:26
Speaker 2: two billion dollars to put the homeless in hotels. Remember
37:30
Speaker 2: they did this with the illegals that came here. Remember
37:33
Speaker 2: they Watson Hotel right up there on fifty seventh Street
37:36
Speaker 2: with the swimming pool on the roof and the eight
37:39
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a night rooms. That's where they put these
37:41
Speaker 2: illegal aliens. We paid for it out of our paychecks.
37:44
Speaker 2: So now they're going to put the homeless in hotels.
37:47
Speaker 2: They're even closing the men's shelter. It's two hundred and
37:50
Speaker 2: fifty beds there can hold two hundred and fifty residents
37:55
Speaker 2: on thirtieth Street, they're closing it. You could the house
38:00
Speaker 2: people there for a lot less money, but they're going
38:03
Speaker 2: to spend two billion on hotel rooms. It's absolutely ridiculous.
38:08
Speaker 2: Have you ever tried to get a hotel room in Manhattan.
38:10
Speaker 2: It's very expensive. It's a lot of money for hotel Manhattan.
38:13
Speaker 2: You ever said, you know, I think we'll stay in
38:15
Speaker 2: Manhattan one night. Dan, You look at the rates eight
38:17
Speaker 2: hundred a night, one thousand a night. He said, I'm
38:20
Speaker 2: not going to spend that. But here's the homeless getting
38:22
Speaker 2: it for free. Now, why would you give a two
38:25
Speaker 2: billion dollar contract.
38:27
Speaker 3: To these hotels.
38:28
Speaker 2: Well, he may be stupid, but he's like a real politician.
38:33
Speaker 2: Now he's getting to be a real sleazy, corrupt politician.
38:37
Speaker 2: The reason you do that, it's the big Hotel Association,
38:41
Speaker 2: which is one of the biggest donors in politics, one
38:44
Speaker 2: of the biggest special interest groups in New York, the
38:47
Speaker 2: Hotel Association. That's why politicians love to give them multi
38:52
Speaker 2: billion dollar contracts, multi billion dollar contracts. Now here's the
38:58
Speaker 2: other problemaide the fact that you're overpaying like crazy to
39:03
Speaker 2: house the homeless. When you give a billion dollar contracts.
39:07
Speaker 2: Something happened during the migrant crisis. When you take thousands
39:11
Speaker 2: and thousands and thousands of hotel rooms for this purpose,
39:14
Speaker 2: you're taking thousands and thousands of hotel rooms off the market.
39:18
Speaker 2: So you're cutting down on the available number of hotel
39:21
Speaker 2: rooms for tourists, and when you cut down the inventory,
39:25
Speaker 2: it drives the price way up.
39:27
Speaker 3: So if it's eight.
39:28
Speaker 2: Hundred a night for the hotel and you take five,
39:31
Speaker 2: six ten thousand rooms off the market, the price is
39:34
Speaker 2: going to double on the hotels that are still on
39:37
Speaker 2: the markets. Absolutely insane. Only an idiot would do that,
39:42
Speaker 2: or a sleazy politician who needs to take care of
39:45
Speaker 2: special interest groups. The Hotel Association is one of them.
39:48
Speaker 2: I mean, not their fault, but they're big, big, huge donors.
39:51
Speaker 2: They take care of politicians. And it's not just them.
39:54
Speaker 2: A lot of these unions they get big, big contracts
39:58
Speaker 2: from these politicians because they make big, big, big donations.
40:03
Speaker 2: Let's get to the Nancy Guthrie case. There's a name
40:06
Speaker 2: you don't hear anymore, Nancy Guthrie. Go watch TV twenty
40:10
Speaker 2: four to seven. You won't hear the name Nancy Guthrie anymore.
40:13
Speaker 3: Did everybody just give up?
40:14
Speaker 2: Well, that crazy sheriff, his name is Nanos. That local
40:19
Speaker 2: sheriff who looked like a real bumbling and competent from
40:22
Speaker 2: the beginning. Besides bumbling and incompetent, is starting to look
40:26
Speaker 2: sleezier and Sleezier and Sleezier, and stuff is coming out
40:31
Speaker 2: about this guy way in the past in his career,
40:34
Speaker 2: he's lied on his resume in earlier jobs he had,
40:37
Speaker 2: he got brought up on charges for all sorts of crap.
40:40
Speaker 2: So he's not the most reputable guy in the world.
40:43
Speaker 2: And then Yesterday makes this bizarre statement, because what happened
40:47
Speaker 2: to Nancy Guthrie? Why have we stopped talking about it?
40:50
Speaker 2: Why have we forgotten about it? So this sheriff Yesterday says, well,
40:53
Speaker 2: he thinks he knows why she was targeted. In fact,
40:58
Speaker 2: he warns the suspect could strike again. Well, if he
41:00
Speaker 2: has any idea what happened, why is he telling us?
41:03
Speaker 2: Why would you make such a real, weird, mysterious statement
41:06
Speaker 2: like that. You're the sheriff, I think I know what happened.
41:12
Speaker 5: Let us know.
41:13
Speaker 2: Tell us. There are some people, now this sounds a
41:17
Speaker 2: little crazy, but there are some people now that think
41:18
Speaker 2: he was involved somehow, or that he knew the people involved,
41:23
Speaker 2: something like that. I have no evidence of that, and
41:26
Speaker 2: it sounds crazy to me, but there are some people
41:29
Speaker 2: that now are starting to believe that. Hey, the Department
41:33
Speaker 2: of Justice issued a big correction. You know, the Muller Report,
41:37
Speaker 2: that crazy Muller Report. This is hard to believe, but
41:39
Speaker 2: ten years ago Democrats got so upset about Trump getting
41:43
Speaker 2: elected that they've concocted one of the worst hoaxes ever
41:48
Speaker 2: on the American public. It was the Russia collusion hoax.
41:52
Speaker 2: They actually tried to convince people that Trump was some
41:55
Speaker 2: sort of Russian agent. He was involved with the Russians,
41:58
Speaker 2: He and Putin, they were colluding on stealing the election,
42:02
Speaker 2: and they tried to convince everybody that Trump didn't win
42:05
Speaker 2: Russia actually tampered with the election. Now, you always get
42:10
Speaker 2: some election denying through the years, Kennedy, Nixon, there's elections
42:14
Speaker 2: where a lot of fraud took place, and it's always
42:18
Speaker 2: brought up. There's a bunch of examples. Kerry claimed that
42:21
Speaker 2: with Bush and all that. But this was the biggest
42:24
Speaker 2: case of election denial ever, trying to claim Russia stole
42:29
Speaker 2: the election, and it led to the Mueller investigation, the
42:33
Speaker 2: Muller witch hunt, which spent one hundred and fifty million
42:36
Speaker 2: of taxpayer money and found absolutely no evidence anywhere of
42:41
Speaker 2: any Russian collusion. Nothing. They found no evidence of Russia
42:46
Speaker 2: tampering with the election. The only thing they came up with.
42:50
Speaker 2: They found that Russian bots or something spent one hundred
42:55
Speaker 2: thousand on Facebook ads. Now that is absolutely nothing. Big
43:01
Speaker 2: restaurants in Manhattan spent one hundred thousand on Facebook ads.
43:04
Speaker 2: It's nothing. The campaigns each spent like three hundred million
43:09
Speaker 2: on Facebook ads. One hundred thousand on Facebook ads. It
43:12
Speaker 2: is not going to do anything to affect anything in
43:14
Speaker 2: the election. So the whole thing was a hoax. Well,
43:18
Speaker 2: now the Department of Justice, going through the Muller Report,
43:20
Speaker 2: has issued a huge correction in it. You remember, there
43:23
Speaker 2: was the story about Russia was blackmailing Trump because there
43:27
Speaker 2: was a video of his stay in a Moscow hotel
43:31
Speaker 2: room where he was with two prostitutes and there were
43:34
Speaker 2: golden showers that remember that, this ridiculous, preposterous story about
43:40
Speaker 2: this ridiculous video tape. It never happened, there's no video,
43:44
Speaker 2: but they said it was a Russian intelligence agent. They
43:48
Speaker 2: even named the guy Russian intelligence agent that was behind
43:53
Speaker 2: this tape, Russian intelligence agent that was to help create
43:56
Speaker 2: this whole Russia connection. Well, they've corrected it now because
44:00
Speaker 2: the guy, whose name is Georgie rich Seltrich is Zaldi,
44:04
Speaker 2: whatever his name is here. It turns out he's not Russian.
44:07
Speaker 2: He was an American. He's originally a Georgian, but he's
44:10
Speaker 2: an American. He wasn't Russian, had nothing to do with Russia.
44:13
Speaker 2: So that correction being put out yesterday by the Department
44:18
Speaker 2: of Justice. First time we're ever hearing about that. Hey,
44:21
Speaker 2: you know, taxes in New York. They keep wanting to
44:24
Speaker 2: raise taxes. They keep wanting to raise taxes on the rich,
44:26
Speaker 2: raise taxes on everybody, because they keep claiming, we just
44:30
Speaker 2: don't have enough money. The budget. The budget, we're short
44:33
Speaker 2: of money. We have a short New York City Council
44:35
Speaker 2: wants to boost its own budget by ten percent, ten percent.
44:41
Speaker 2: It's one hundred and fifteen million a year. What the
44:43
Speaker 2: hell would cost one hundred and fifteen million a year
44:46
Speaker 2: for the city council. They want to raise it to
44:48
Speaker 2: about one hundred and thirty million a year. Absolutely ridiculous.
44:52
Speaker 2: They want to add fifty seven new jobs city council.
44:58
Speaker 2: They got a meeting room, got that long desk with
45:01
Speaker 2: the microphones. They show up, they talk, they vote. That's
45:04
Speaker 2: all you need. Why would you need hundreds and hundreds
45:07
Speaker 2: of employees for this and they want to add fifty
45:09
Speaker 2: seven new jobs legal and professional contracts of eighteen new
45:16
Speaker 2: jobs just for the city council speaker. What the hell
45:18
Speaker 2: would they need eighteen new people for. Absolutely ridiculous. Hey,
45:22
Speaker 2: if people tell you everybody's leaving New York, you hear
45:26
Speaker 2: that all the time from people. Everybody I know is
45:28
Speaker 2: leaving New York. People are fleeing New York. It's absolutely
45:31
Speaker 2: not true. There are more people moving in than moving out.
45:35
Speaker 2: In fact, the condo co op market, especially the high end,
45:40
Speaker 2: it's more contracts closed last month than usual, the month before,
45:44
Speaker 2: more contracts closed than the year before. And when it
45:47
Speaker 2: comes to rentals, and that's the best way to tell,
45:50
Speaker 2: because a lot of people when they move for the
45:52
Speaker 2: first time to New York, new people coming in usually
45:55
Speaker 2: will rent first. They'll rent and then maybe a year later,
45:59
Speaker 2: if they like it, I'll buy something. But the rental
46:01
Speaker 2: market is the way you tell. The rental market is
46:04
Speaker 2: through the roof. In fact, it's very tough to rent
46:07
Speaker 2: anything right now. In fact that we've set a new
46:10
Speaker 2: record for declines in available homes. There's very very little inventory,
46:16
Speaker 2: a new record for how many rentals are going on.
46:19
Speaker 2: It's a massive boom. It's driving the price up. You know,
46:24
Speaker 2: we see the price of rentals. One reason is so
46:26
Speaker 2: many people are moving here. There's very very very very
46:30
Speaker 2: little inventory, so don't fall for all that stuff. Now
46:33
Speaker 2: people are moving out of Washington State. This is what
46:40
Speaker 2: happens when you try to go soak the rich or
46:43
Speaker 2: target the billionaires. So they wrought Washington State putting in
46:46
Speaker 2: this new tax. Low's an extra ten percent tax anybody
46:50
Speaker 2: making over a million dollars a year. The founder, creator
46:54
Speaker 2: of Starbucks, which is probably the most famous Washington State company,
46:58
Speaker 2: well maybe Microsoft, but Starbucks just a symbol of Washington State.
47:03
Speaker 2: The chairman, the founder, Howard Schultz, says he's leaving Washington
47:06
Speaker 2: the day before that tax starts, because you know, if
47:10
Speaker 2: you've got one hundred million and the tax is ten million,
47:14
Speaker 2: you're handing ten million to the government just to squander it,
47:17
Speaker 2: just to waste it. If you're a guy like Howard Schultz,
47:20
Speaker 2: it's not that you're greedy, but if you've got an
47:23
Speaker 2: extra tax, it's gonna be an extra twenty million. You'd
47:27
Speaker 2: rather give that to your kids. You'd rather give that
47:29
Speaker 2: to a charity. You'd rather donate that to a hospital.
47:32
Speaker 2: Why would you want to give it to some slease
47:33
Speaker 2: ball politicians who are gonna waste the twenty million, So
47:37
Speaker 2: I don't blame them. He's leaving, he's moving to Florida. Hey,
47:40
Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one
47:43
Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
47:47
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten.
47:49
Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simon Show on wor.
47:54
Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
47:57
Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to Tony
47:59
Speaker 2: and Chester. Tony, how you doing.
48:02
Speaker 11: Hey, Mark, I'm doing well and I love listening to you,
48:06
Speaker 11: and there's so many things I'd love to talk to
48:08
Speaker 11: you about. It's just, you know, Rudy Giuliani. This thing
48:12
Speaker 11: with Savannah Guthrie. There's something on the internet that's saying,
48:16
Speaker 11: you know, she interviewed some people connected with the ebscene
48:20
Speaker 11: case and they're trying to teach her.
48:22
Speaker 9: No, no, no, no, okay.
48:26
Speaker 11: So here's the one yesterday when you're talking about Elon
48:29
Speaker 11: being probably the next trillionaire. Why does it he with
48:33
Speaker 11: all his brilliant attack homelessness because he's got enough money
48:37
Speaker 11: to solve it on his own.
48:38
Speaker 2: No, you gotta remember he could do that in a second.
48:40
Speaker 2: Guys like this could figure out everything. But he tried
48:42
Speaker 2: it with the government wasting fraud, the DOGE program, and
48:46
Speaker 2: all he did was get attacked day in night, NonStop,
48:48
Speaker 2: and he had to back off. So that's the problem.
48:51
Speaker 3: You could.
48:52
Speaker 2: You know, guys like that can come in and fix
48:53
Speaker 2: everything in government, but the swamp, the deep state will
48:57
Speaker 2: fight you like crazy and chase you out of Washington,
49:00
Speaker 2: and that's what happened. Let's go to Barbara in Woodside, Barbara,
49:03
Speaker 2: how you doing?
49:05
Speaker 12: How you do?
49:05
Speaker 13: And I'm doing great. Listen, I worked at the city
49:09
Speaker 13: council and all these people are political appointees. They're favors
49:13
Speaker 13: to the political parties. And I stayed there only four
49:17
Speaker 13: months because it's the environment was too political and very
49:20
Speaker 13: hard to stay there.
49:21
Speaker 2: So when they want to increase the budget, hire another
49:23
Speaker 2: ninety people, it's like this is like Polly walnutsts no
49:28
Speaker 2: medical Paully Walnuts, no show jobs. That kind of stuff
49:32
Speaker 2: that makes sense. Let's go to Bob in Mottvale. Bob,
49:35
Speaker 2: how you doing.
49:37
Speaker 14: I'm hanging in there. Mark, thanks for taking their call.
49:40
Speaker 14: You know that the reason why they're closing out homeless
49:43
Speaker 14: shelter for men is that it's decrepit. It's like any
49:47
Speaker 14: other New York City landlord owned property. Let to go
49:51
Speaker 14: to shame. And now they're going to spend billions on
49:53
Speaker 14: a hotel.
49:54
Speaker 2: I know, but my point was that Chelsea Market was
49:56
Speaker 2: the most decrepit thing in New York and Irwin Cohen
49:59
Speaker 2: bys it and said let's transform it. All of a sudden,
50:02
Speaker 2: it's the most beautiful building in New York on a hotspot.
50:04
Speaker 2: And it didn't cost two billion. At these hotel rooms,
50:06
Speaker 2: it costs like twenty million. And that was it. To
50:09
Speaker 2: fix it up it again, to fix up that. If
50:12
Speaker 2: you give that shelter to Donald Trump and said turn
50:15
Speaker 2: this into a ballroom, it'd be the most gleaming, beautiful
50:18
Speaker 2: ballroom in New York in two months. So you can
50:20
Speaker 2: fix up the shelter. You don't have to spend billions
50:23
Speaker 2: and billions in hotel rooms. But as we pointed out,
50:26
Speaker 2: it's a contract to the Hotel Association, which can do
50:30
Speaker 2: you a lot of good. If you're a politician, Let's
50:32
Speaker 2: go to Tony and White Plains. Tony, how you doing.
50:35
Speaker 15: Yeah, good morning, Mark. I also met Ernie a Masters.
50:39
Speaker 15: I live in White plains West, shefie.
50:41

51:01
Speaker 15: races there, and I'm also the horse business. And I

Speaker 15: Uh, my friend George was calling the races and and
51:11
Speaker 15: and there was George Anthony.

51:15
Speaker 15: Let's get to part Ernie anastis. I'm sorry, and and
51:18
Speaker 15: uh he introduced us, and he was a perfect gentleman.

Speaker 15: But we used to watch them.
51:23
Speaker 5: All the time.
51:24
Speaker 15: He didn't hit you, No, no, no, he doesn't. He
51:27
Speaker 15: actually even off off to buy a hot dog, but
51:29
Speaker 15: we already have one because they were having the.
51:31
Speaker 2: All right now, it's a good good point. Yeah, Ernie
51:34
Speaker 2: was the nicest guy in the world. If you go
51:35
Speaker 2: on Instagram, you'll see millions of people putting up pictures
51:38
Speaker 2: with Ernie that's because anybody who wanted to stop and
51:40
Speaker 2: take a picture, he would be happy to do it.
51:42
Speaker 2: Nicest guy ever. Check out my Instagram. There's some pictures
51:45
Speaker 2: of Ernie there. Mark Simone n Y I s a Instagram.
51:49

51:58
Speaker 12: It's on Main Street. It's a nice place that makes Colon.
52:02
Speaker 2: Got that Prohibition restaurant that's very good.
52:05
Speaker 7: Yeah.
52:05
Speaker 12: I haven't been there yet.
52:06
Speaker 2: Anyway, Lisa Harris, the great baker, and you got that
52:09
Speaker 2: hotel to go there? Yeah.
52:11
Speaker 12: I try to lose weight, which is impossible. But anyway, And.
52:14
Speaker 2: If you're in are you near Smithtown?
52:17
Speaker 5: Uh?
52:17
Speaker 12: Yeah, I am big spectacular.
52:20
Speaker 2: New restaurant just open there, the Chaz It's the sister
52:23
Speaker 2: restaurant of Rothman's, just opening in Smithtown this week.
52:28
Speaker 15: I'll have to try it.
52:29
Speaker 12: Anyway. Listen, we're in trouble when Madonnie in the city.
52:32
Speaker 12: My kids live in the city and they voted for
52:33
Speaker 12: him because they're crazy left wing is what can I say.
52:36
Speaker 12: They grew up in Garden City, which when there was
52:38
Speaker 12: a Democratic vote in the ballot, they'd have an investigation.
52:41
Speaker 12: But that'sn't either here or there with mcdonni, with Mandannie,
52:44
Speaker 12: we're in trouble because even if Bruce Blakeman.
52:47
Speaker 2: Should win, we will win Grce Blakeman.
52:50
Speaker 12: No, I hope he will. I hope he will win,
52:52
Speaker 12: but he would if he wins, and he can remove
52:55
Speaker 12: when Donnie under the city Charna, you have the you
52:59
Speaker 12: have the public app Jonnie Williams, he's just.
53:01
Speaker 2: Well, he's no great bargain either. But also remember, Bruce Blakeman,
53:04
Speaker 2: when he gets elected governor, can remove the district attorneys.
53:07
Speaker 2: He can get rid of Alvin Bragging, put in a
53:09
Speaker 2: real DA. Things can happen.
53:12
Speaker 12: Mock listing.
53:13
Speaker 5: I'm not always.
53:16
Speaker 2: First of all, this whole thing is your fault. You're
53:18
Speaker 2: crazy left wing kids voted for him.
53:20
Speaker 12: Let me tell you. I'll tell you what I told him.
53:23
Speaker 12: I finally told my daughter, who went to a fancy school,
53:26
Speaker 12: I paid for it. I said, I should have sent
53:27
Speaker 12: you to the University of Havana. It would have been
53:30
Speaker 12: cheaper that same result. Goodbye, great call.
53:34
Speaker 2: Hey, when we come back to the brilliant columnist, the
53:37
Speaker 2: great columnist, Miranda Divine will be with us next on
53:41
Speaker 2: seven to ten w R.
53:43
Speaker 1: Mark Simoni's back on seventeen.
53:46
Speaker 2: Woor Hey, the biggest and best columnist in America, Miranda Divine.
53:51
Speaker 2: You can read her in The New York Post and
53:53
Speaker 2: make sure you get her book if it's a big
53:55
Speaker 2: best seller. But if you haven't read the book, the
53:57
Speaker 2: Big Guy, get Miranda Divine's book and listen to our podcast.
54:01
Speaker 2: It's fantastic Pod Force one. A lot of great episodes
54:05
Speaker 2: are out wherever you get podcasts. Miranda Divine, how you doing.
54:11
Speaker 16: I'm really well, Thanks Mark, thanks for having me on.
54:13
Speaker 2: Thanks for all the great work, great columns. Hey talk
54:16
Speaker 2: about the media, the far left me even normal mainstream
54:20
Speaker 2: it's gone crazy. Those two Isis bomb throwers are just happy,
54:24
Speaker 2: go lucky teenagers, and they're attacking us over Iran. What
54:28
Speaker 2: is going on here?
54:31
Speaker 16: I just think that Trump derangement has gripped so hard
54:37
Speaker 16: that they can't even see for their own self protection
54:41
Speaker 16: or the protection of their readers, their viewers. They don't care.
54:46
Speaker 16: You know, they make us more at risk by downplaying
54:51
Speaker 16: these terrorist attacks. I mean, I think now it's impossible
54:54
Speaker 16: for them to pretend that we're not suffering from a
54:59
Speaker 16: rise in Islamic terrorism, and this is something that New
55:04
Speaker 16: York knows all too well. And yet we have a
55:07
Speaker 16: mayor who is the chief of the down players. He
55:12
Speaker 16: posed as if he were the victim of the two
55:17
Speaker 16: Isis inspired suspects who threw those homemade bombs into a
55:22
Speaker 16: crowd outside his Grace and Ansen. He was perfectly safe
55:25
Speaker 16: because he's got a massive detail and the house is
55:29
Speaker 16: set right back from the street. But still he just
55:33
Speaker 16: could not bring himself to utter the word terrorism until
55:37
Speaker 16: two or three days on.
55:38
Speaker 5: And at the very.
55:39
Speaker 16: Beginning, he was just railing against what was it like
55:43
Speaker 16: white supremacy and bigotry and racism because there were these
55:49
Speaker 16: anti Muslim protesters outside Grace and Ansen.
55:52
Speaker 14: But the attackers were attacking them.
55:55
Speaker 16: They were on his side. And you know, this is
55:58
Speaker 16: a mayor who doesn't get it.
56:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, but maybe he does get it. Maybe, you know,
56:04
Speaker 2: like inviting that terrorist sympathizer to dinner at Gracy Mansion
56:08
Speaker 2: if he wanted to be his friend, maybe talk to
56:11
Speaker 2: him privately on the phone, but to bring him right
56:13
Speaker 2: into Gracy Mansion. He's trying to send us a message
56:16
Speaker 2: of some kind, isn't he?
56:18
Speaker 16: And then tweet out a photo. It wasn't as if
56:20
Speaker 16: he was even discreet about it. He invited Mahmood Khalil,
56:25
Speaker 16: who's the anti Hamas agitator who organized or led the
56:30
Speaker 16: Columbia protests and to the Trump administration has been trying
56:35
Speaker 16: to deport and has become a cause celebrity in the
56:38
Speaker 16: left and ford zoram ma'am dani. This guy is just
56:43
Speaker 16: a hero and a saint. So he invites him over
56:46
Speaker 16: and honors him with a special dinner. And that's just
56:50
Speaker 16: twenty four hours after these two bombs that only by
56:54
Speaker 16: the grace of God did not explode and kill a name,
56:58
Speaker 16: dozens of people, police officers.
57:01
Speaker 2: This is all just in the first few weeks.
57:03
Speaker 3: This is Mayor.
57:03
Speaker 2: Then the cop is shotting, he goes to visit the
57:06
Speaker 2: shooter in the hospital, not the Yeah, so what are
57:10
Speaker 2: we going to do for the next three and.
57:11
Speaker 14: A half years, Well, I mean done.
57:16
Speaker 16: He's just the most obvious manifestation of this sickness and
57:19
Speaker 16: the Democrat Party.
57:20
Speaker 5: And you know, as you say, they.
57:23
Speaker 16: Identify with the persecutor, not the victim. They are soft
57:28
Speaker 16: on crime because they think that anybody who's locked up
57:31
Speaker 16: by law enforcement is a victim, and they're victims are
57:35
Speaker 16: just people that you're just inconvenient truths that you just
57:38
Speaker 16: want to ignore. And they seem to feel that they
57:43
Speaker 16: themselves are impervious to any consequences. And I guess when
57:47
Speaker 16: you control cities like the Democrats do across this country.
57:52
Speaker 16: They control the greatest cities New York, LA, Chicago, They
57:58
Speaker 16: control the nation's capital to the point where you cannot Washington,
58:03
Speaker 16: d C. The Trump administration cannot get a jury that
58:08
Speaker 16: is unbiased, so they can't really prosecute any of the
58:12
Speaker 16: cases they want to bring, and they're a sort of
58:14
Speaker 16: a stalemate. And you know, the Democrats also control the
58:19
Speaker 16: legal profession, and so they're busy concocting new law fare
58:24
Speaker 16: while the Trump administration the DOJ is kind of flowing
58:29
Speaker 16: on the back foot and has a whole bunch of
58:31
Speaker 16: vipers within the nest.
58:34
Speaker 2: Miranda Devine. The other media narrative is about Iran. Well,
58:38
Speaker 2: the president has not explained to us, what do you
58:41
Speaker 2: need anything explain to you. I think I could see
58:43
Speaker 2: the purpose of this work, can't you.
58:46
Speaker 16: I mean, I think it's been crystal clear from the
58:50
Speaker 16: bombing last year of the nuclear facilities at Porto to
58:56
Speaker 16: the Saturday that he decided to launch an attack. I
59:00
Speaker 16: think it's been pretty obvious. I mean, it's actually has
59:04
Speaker 16: been obvious for almost half a century that Iran is
59:07
Speaker 16: our enemy, and they make no bones about it. They're
59:10
Speaker 16: constantly saying death to America. They fund all the proxies
59:15
Speaker 16: that attack Americans of the battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan.
59:20
Speaker 16: They are the masterminds of the IED's that killed and
59:25
Speaker 16: maimed and left brain injured so many American soldiers. So
59:30
Speaker 16: we know that they do not mean well to us.
59:33
Speaker 16: But every other president has, you know, erred on the
59:37
Speaker 16: side of caution and decided that Iran is too big
59:41
Speaker 16: a beast to go after, and so they've just tried
59:44
Speaker 16: to appease them with billions of dollars of cash as
59:47
Speaker 16: the Barmer administration did, or turn a blind eye, or
59:52
Speaker 16: kick the can down the road. And Donald Trump's not
59:55
Speaker 16: a guy to kick the can down the road. So
59:57
Speaker 16: for good or for ill, we're in it now. And
1:00:01
Speaker 16: I think it's incumbent on us to support what the
1:00:05
Speaker 16: administration is doing and just hope they know what they're doing.
1:00:09
Speaker 2: Hey, Miranda, Divine, do we need Obviously we do but
1:00:12
Speaker 2: can we ever get term limits? You know you got
1:00:14
Speaker 2: this Clyburn, James Clyburn, he's eighty five running for reelection.
1:00:18
Speaker 2: We really do need term limits, don't we.
1:00:21
Speaker 16: Yeah, we need term limits, and also we don't need dynasties. Honestly,
1:00:25
Speaker 16: what is it? Cliburn's daughter apparently is waiting in the
1:00:29
Speaker 16: team takeover when he finally decides, after what is it
1:00:33
Speaker 16: seventeen terms that he might take a break. The problem
1:00:37
Speaker 16: is he has such a stranglehold on that neck of
1:00:40
Speaker 16: the woods that he'll just get whatever he wants so
1:00:43
Speaker 16: he'll be able to run again from a coffin.
1:00:47
Speaker 3: Not good, Not good.
1:00:48
Speaker 2: Hey, we love your podcast, Miranda Divine does the great
1:00:51
Speaker 2: podcast pod Force one. There's soole many great episodes with
1:00:55
Speaker 2: President Trump. Everybody can go on. Wherever you get your podcast,
1:00:59
Speaker 2: you can listen to all of them. Who do you
1:01:00
Speaker 2: have next?
1:01:02
Speaker 16: So we've got oh, I'm trying to remember. I think
1:01:05
Speaker 16: it's Brendan Carr, the FCC commissioner. It was going to
1:01:12
Speaker 16: be James Coma. We're interviewing both, but James Coma's got
1:01:18
Speaker 16: just had an issue in Kentucky that he's got to stay,
1:01:20
Speaker 16: So we're not sure if we're going to be able
1:01:23
Speaker 16: to interview James kma I would love to do that, love.
1:01:25
Speaker 9: To find out.
1:01:27
Speaker 5: What he thought of Hillary.
1:01:28
Speaker 16: Clinton her testimony, and what he thinks of Jill Biden's
1:01:33
Speaker 16: new book. So we will get to him at some point,
1:01:37
Speaker 16: but it may not be in time for our next
1:01:40
Speaker 16: drop on Wednesday.
1:01:42
Speaker 2: Of course, one we'll make sure you get Miranda Devine's
1:01:44
Speaker 2: latest book, The Big Guy. She's written the best books
1:01:47
Speaker 2: on Joe Biden. The Big Guy is a huge best seller.
1:01:50
Speaker 2: What do you think? What do you think Joe Biden
1:01:52
Speaker 2: will be in the next year, just still sitting there
1:01:54
Speaker 2: in Delaware doing nothing.
1:01:58
Speaker 16: Well, we want obviously their grifts by nature and explains
1:02:04
Speaker 16: Joe Biden's book. But I don't know. He seems like
1:02:10
Speaker 16: when he's allowed out, he reminds us of who he is.
1:02:14
Speaker 16: And he gave a speech the other day in which
1:02:16
Speaker 16: he told everyone that he's smarter than all of you,
1:02:19
Speaker 16: and he's always been smarter, and everyone thought that he
1:02:22
Speaker 16: wasn't smart because he had a stutter, but it actually
1:02:24
Speaker 16: hid his genius.
1:02:26
Speaker 5: I don't know why he.
1:02:27
Speaker 16: Was talking about that, but that's him. It's all about
1:02:31
Speaker 16: Joe Biden. So I think until his dying breath. He
1:02:34
Speaker 16: will be lying for America and self agrandizing and telling
1:02:39
Speaker 16: tall tales.
1:02:40
Speaker 2: And flying commercial all the time. He's the only ex
1:02:42
Speaker 2: president can't seem to borrow a plane from anybody because
1:02:44
Speaker 2: he always flying commercial. It's pretty embarrassing.
1:02:49
Speaker 16: Well, I mean, I think the Democrat donors were furious
1:02:52
Speaker 16: about the twenty four election with both Joe Biden and
1:02:56
Speaker 16: Kamala Harris. And Joe Biden saddled the Democrat Party with
1:03:00
Speaker 16: Kamala Harris because he promised Jim klib and another that
1:03:05
Speaker 16: he would appoint a woman of color as his VP.
1:03:09
Speaker 16: And he did that, and he chose probably the stupidest
1:03:14
Speaker 16: woman of color he could have found in the whole
1:03:16
Speaker 16: country in Kamila Harris. But that was stuck with her,
1:03:19
Speaker 16: and she was unelectable. And yet she still has a
1:03:21
Speaker 16: baton in her knapsack. She's still or is teasing that
1:03:25
Speaker 16: she's going to run again.
1:03:26
Speaker 2: Say that again. A button in her knapsack.
1:03:30
Speaker 16: It must be an Australianism bastin, like a leadership batson.
1:03:34
Speaker 2: A baton in her knapsack. I got to use that.
1:03:36
Speaker 2: That's excellent.
1:03:38
Speaker 16: I didn't realize it. It was a strange Australian.
1:03:42
Speaker 2: I'm afraid it is, but it's great. Well, everybody get
