Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Talking about everything you care about marks and moons on
- 0:04Speaker 1: w O R.
- 0:08Speaker 2: I guess I am. Yeah. So the Knicks tonight, big game,
- 0:11Speaker 2: eight thirty game time. In honor of that, we always
- 0:15Speaker 2: have buffets all over the place. Here the bagel buffet.
- 0:19Speaker 2: One whole tray is blue and orange bagels. And there's
- 0:24Speaker 2: all these different cream cheese is one of them is
- 0:27Speaker 2: blue and orange cream cheese. And I love the Knicks,
- 0:31Speaker 2: but there's nothing more disgusting than a blue and orange bagel.
- 0:35Speaker 2: I did take a bite with the blue and orange
- 0:37Speaker 2: cream cheese. It did taste pretty good, but it looks disgusting.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Blue and orange is not They're not colors for a bagel.
- 0:44Speaker 2: It doesn't doesn't work. So the big game is tonight, Nicks.
- 0:51Speaker 2: This is like eleven in a row, twelve in a row,
- 0:53Speaker 2: whatever they've so the momentum is on their side, San Antonio.
- 0:57Speaker 2: It's a young team. I don't know if they're gonna
- 1:00Speaker 2: be ready for the garden and that crowd and all
- 1:02Speaker 2: of that. The president will be in a luxury suite,
- 1:06Speaker 2: not really visible to the players or anything. I guess
- 1:10Speaker 2: at some point they'll put them up. I never go
- 1:13Speaker 2: to the Knicks games, do they have a jumbo tron
- 1:15Speaker 2: or something like that, a big screen. Yeah, so imagine
- 1:18Speaker 2: some point they'll show him see if he gets boomed.
- 1:20Speaker 2: I don't think he'll get booed. I know it's New York,
- 1:24Speaker 2: but he's a big Knicks fan. He's been to hundreds
- 1:26Speaker 2: of games. He was always sitting there in the front
- 1:28Speaker 2: row for years and years and years. I think the
- 1:31Speaker 2: fans there also, remember this is not the Knicks fans
- 1:34Speaker 2: that are going to be there. These are big high rollers.
- 1:38Speaker 2: That's been a fortune. The cheapest ticket is like ten
- 1:40Speaker 2: thousand bucks. The real good tickets are like seventy five thousand,
- 1:44Speaker 2: and that's if you're able to buy them, if you
- 1:47Speaker 2: have to go into a secondary market there on one
- 1:49Speaker 2: hundred and fifty. Those kind of people don't boo the president.
- 1:52Speaker 2: So that's tonight. Just remember a traffic nightmare all around
- 1:57Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden, the Delaney Hall, New Jersey. You know,
- 2:02Speaker 2: the protesting, the paid protesting, Chinese funded protesting taking place
- 2:08Speaker 2: all over Delaney Hall, and the steoge Governor Mickey Cheryl
- 2:12Speaker 2: playing along with this, in fact jinning it up for
- 2:15Speaker 2: a while until it got violent and out of control.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Now she's backing off, but she was going along with
- 2:22Speaker 2: these fake stories, all these stories coming about about Delaney Hall,
- 2:26Speaker 2: the detention center, where the food was horrible, the inmates
- 2:31Speaker 2: were starving, they weren't getting proper medical care. One was
- 2:35Speaker 2: denied medical I mean the whole thing that they it
- 2:39Speaker 2: was over crowded. Bet Well, there's now been a full
- 2:43Speaker 2: inspection of Delaney Hall. It turns out these were all
- 2:47Speaker 2: total lies. First of all, there's no overcrowding. It has
- 2:52Speaker 2: a thousand beds, there's only seven hundred and six detainees.
- 2:56Speaker 2: In fact, it's undercrowded. There's a lot of empty room there.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Everything is fine, the food, everything, there's nothing wrong with
- 3:04Speaker 2: Delaney Hall. Inspection teams have checked every inch of it.
- 3:08Speaker 2: It's just fine. Don't believe any of this nonsense. Tom
- 3:11Speaker 2: Holman himself went to a look at every inch of it.
- 3:15Speaker 2: He went there. Tom Holman was there late last week.
- 3:17Speaker 2: The first thing he wanted to do, was, as he said,
- 3:19Speaker 2: harden the facility. With these violent protesters funded by the
- 3:24Speaker 2: Soros types, funded by the Chinese, paid professional anarchists. He
- 3:28Speaker 2: wanted to make sure that the whole facility was hardened,
- 3:32Speaker 2: that it was protected. It took two days to fix everything.
- 3:35Speaker 2: In other words, they put up Jersey barriers. There's those
- 3:38Speaker 2: big concrete barriers they put in the street. They installed
- 3:42Speaker 2: embassy fencing. It's what they used around embassies. It's enormous
- 3:46Speaker 2: fencing that's impossible to get over. They put in arena lights,
- 3:51Speaker 2: so it's much safer now. Then Holman himself inspected every
- 3:56Speaker 2: inch medical facilities. Everything was fine, and then at lunchtime
- 4:00Speaker 2: he said, I want to go in there and eat
- 4:02Speaker 2: with the detainees. I want to eat what they're eating.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I want to eat with them. And he went in
- 4:08Speaker 2: there to eat with the detainees and he had a
- 4:09Speaker 2: security team around him. But he said what they had
- 4:13Speaker 2: was spaghetti and meatballs. It wasn't Patsy's, but it was
- 4:18Speaker 2: very good. I mean it wasn't very good. It was good.
- 4:20Speaker 2: It was okay, it was fine. It was as good
- 4:22Speaker 2: as any school lunch room kind of food. Spaghetti and meatballs.
- 4:26Speaker 2: They had green beans, bread and butter, and a dessert.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Holman said the portions were large, and in fact, Holman
- 4:32Speaker 2: points out, he said, I'm a big guy. I couldn't
- 4:35Speaker 2: finish it all. So everything is fine in Delaney Hall.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Don't believe any of that nonsense that these protesters are
- 4:43Speaker 2: claiming California. It just looks so ridiculous. The I mean,
- 4:50Speaker 2: as Christian Walker would say, no evidence. There's there's plenty
- 4:53Speaker 2: of evidence that the vote is being stolen. All the
- 4:57Speaker 2: voting took place. You know, here's the votes, here's the percentages.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Well now they're doing the mail in votes, and the
- 5:03Speaker 2: percentages are the total opposite, absolute total opposite, which has
- 5:09Speaker 2: never happened before. It's all statistically impossible that all of
- 5:14Speaker 2: a sudden, all the mail in votes would be absolutely
- 5:17Speaker 2: completely the opposite of what the whole state of voters voted.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Steve Hilton from the Secretary State's website today, thirty five days. Oh,
- 5:26Speaker 3: that's the plan, thirty five.
- 5:29Speaker 2: And why can't they get it counted because it's you know,
- 5:31Speaker 2: it takes time to steal an election. We're seven days
- 5:33Speaker 2: into it. They're now saying thirty five days before they'll finish.
- 5:36Speaker 3: From the Secretary of State's website today, thirty five days. Oh,
- 5:40Speaker 3: that's the plan, thirty five days. This is an absolute shambles,
- 5:45Speaker 3: a humiliation for California. It is making our state a
- 5:49Speaker 3: laughing stock here in America and around the world.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it's absolute ridiculous. Hilton was set to win the
- 5:56Speaker 2: mail in voting, coming in the total opposite. It makes
- 6:00Speaker 2: absolutely no sense at all. Hey, the President put in
- 6:06Speaker 2: Bill Poulty as the acting DNI. He has no intention
- 6:10Speaker 2: of making him the Director of National Intelligence. It's just
- 6:13Speaker 2: for a couple of months temporary acting. In Congress, they're
- 6:17Speaker 2: all upset. They want him fired immediately. The President is
- 6:21Speaker 2: going to name somebody to be the new Director of
- 6:23Speaker 2: National Intelligence. It will be a very impressive, perfect choice.
- 6:28Speaker 2: He'll name him very soon. Paulty is being sent in
- 6:30Speaker 2: for one thing, to fire a lot of people. There's
- 6:33Speaker 2: a lot of people that have to go, and he's
- 6:37Speaker 2: been a president's been studying this for the last year.
- 6:40Speaker 2: A lot of bad people they got to clean out
- 6:42Speaker 2: of there. And you've seen what kind of bad people
- 6:45Speaker 2: come out of the intelligence world, like Clapper and Brennan
- 6:49Speaker 2: and those kind of really shady, dirty characters. You gotta clean.
- 6:52Speaker 2: There's a bunch of them in there. When is that noise?
- 7:01Speaker 2: These studios are so soundproof. I can hear ants crawling outside.
- 7:05Speaker 2: I mean, that's so the cleaning lady has a mop bucket,
- 7:09Speaker 2: so it comes down our hall. The floor is like concrete,
- 7:13Speaker 2: so it is so loud it sounds like a mac truck.
- 7:18Speaker 2: But nice tin walls. I like that. So where was it?
- 7:24Speaker 2: Oh uh yeah? So Poulty is just there to clean house.
- 7:28Speaker 2: He's gonna fire a lot of people. A lot of
- 7:30Speaker 2: them are you know, biased left wing deep state and
- 7:35Speaker 2: put in there by Obama Biden. So you're you're gonna
- 7:39Speaker 2: have to fire a lot of people. You're gonna see
- 7:41Speaker 2: a lot of firing. That's all Pulty is there for.
- 7:44Speaker 2: And then he'll leave and then they'll put in the
- 7:46Speaker 2: real DNI and he'll be able to take over with
- 7:50Speaker 2: a much, much, much cleaner place. Hey, this crazy election
- 7:54Speaker 2: in Maine. You got this nazi nutshob texting, sexting nazi Platner.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Have you ever heard him talk. He's got a big,
- 8:07Speaker 2: deep voice. It makes him sound better than he is.
- 8:10Speaker 2: You know, when all this broke, all these horrible stories,
- 8:13Speaker 2: he went into hiding, which was not the right thing
- 8:16Speaker 2: to do, and it was looking bad. He got smart
- 8:19Speaker 2: or he's been advised, and he's out there carrying on
- 8:22Speaker 2: like nothing's wrong. That's the smartest way to handle this
- 8:25Speaker 2: for him. I mean, it's terrible for the voters. But
- 8:29Speaker 2: he's out there talking and talking and he's got this
- 8:31Speaker 2: voice like this. So if you think he's some kind
- 8:35Speaker 2: of wacky nuts job, he doesn't sound like it. Listen
- 8:37Speaker 2: to him.
- 8:37Speaker 4: When hurtful things I said on the Internet a decade
- 8:40Speaker 4: ago came out into the public as I shared my
- 8:45Speaker 4: personal journey through PTSD and darkness of recovery and accountability,
- 8:51Speaker 4: Engross Main had my back.
- 8:57Speaker 2: Well, it sounds pretty impressive. You know, he's a job,
- 9:00Speaker 2: a nazi with sexting and texting with young women, crazy
- 9:05Speaker 2: comments from the past. He faked this whole story about
- 9:08Speaker 2: being an oyster fisherman and just I mean, the guy's terrible.
- 9:12Speaker 2: But when you talk like this and you talk about
- 9:15Speaker 2: your my personal journey, it sounds impressive, sounds great. He's
- 9:22Speaker 2: on a personal journey, woo, And he had PTSD, he
- 9:29Speaker 2: asked me, he's still got something wrong with him, but
- 9:32Speaker 2: he don't know. If you sound like that, it reassures people.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Now as every single piece of that past and journey
- 9:38Speaker 4: gets dug up, litigated and weaponized, you have my back.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Yeah, he may save himself there with this, with his journey.
- 9:49Speaker 2: He's on that journey and they weaponized things against him.
- 9:53Speaker 2: You know the fact that he's a Nazi with a
- 9:54Speaker 2: big Nazi tattoo all over his chest. They weaponized it.
- 9:58Speaker 2: It's not even a Nazi tattoo. It's actually SS tattoo.
- 10:03Speaker 2: I mean, he's not just a plain Nazi thing, which
- 10:05Speaker 2: sometimes remember they used to make like those surfers would
- 10:08Speaker 2: wear the Nazi thing just back in the sixties and
- 10:11Speaker 2: became like a little fan. This is different. This is
- 10:13Speaker 2: the worst SS. It was a division of the SS
- 10:17Speaker 2: that ran the death camps. That's the big tattoo he
- 10:22Speaker 2: has on his chest. So you really got to be
- 10:24Speaker 2: a Nazi knowledgeable to even think to have that tattoo
- 10:28Speaker 2: on you. So he's just awful, crazy guy. But he's
- 10:32Speaker 2: on that personal journey and I don't think he's going anywhere.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Somebody got the wife to stand by him. So that
- 10:40Speaker 2: crazy Scott Pelley looking like a pompous idiot. He put
- 10:45Speaker 2: up a picture of himself on his sailboat, right at
- 10:48Speaker 2: the wheel of the sailboat, you know, all alone out
- 10:51Speaker 2: there on the water with his sailboat. I guess he
- 10:53Speaker 2: thinks he looks like Kennedy. Either we see Ted Kennedy
- 10:57Speaker 2: or JFK out there on the sailboat. So he put
- 11:01Speaker 2: up a sailboat picture, thinking he's a Kennedy And he
- 11:04Speaker 2: did this long interview with The New York Times where
- 11:06Speaker 2: he's crying. He's talking about how could they fire him.
- 11:10Speaker 2: At one point he brought up Tanya Simon. She's the
- 11:14Speaker 2: producer of sixty Minutes, the executive producer, daughter of Bob Simon,
- 11:18Speaker 2: who had been a big sixty minutes reporter correspondent, And
- 11:22Speaker 2: he said, with her family connection to this show, she
- 11:27Speaker 2: should have been untouchable. How could you be untouchable? I mean,
- 11:32Speaker 2: it's a broadcasting it's a news division. Where Howie Carr
- 11:35Speaker 2: Last Hour, he pointed out, broadcast news, you got a
- 11:39Speaker 2: higher death rate than the mob. People are always getting
- 11:42Speaker 2: canned and fired in local TV, network TV, any news, broadcast,
- 11:47Speaker 2: broadcasting operations, people get fired all the time. How could
- 11:50Speaker 2: somebody be untouchable? How could there be anybody untouchable at
- 11:55Speaker 2: sixty Minutes. You know, Walter Cronkite got fired. He was
- 11:58Speaker 2: the greatest news man in the history of the world.
- 12:01Speaker 2: He was fired. Dan Rather was moving up and was
- 12:06Speaker 2: sort of he was like the Jay Leno of news.
- 12:08Speaker 2: He was going to be the new anchor. You know,
- 12:11Speaker 2: when the big guy left, he would take over. But
- 12:14Speaker 2: he maneuvered and maneuvered and maneuvered to get Cronkite out,
- 12:19Speaker 2: and it looked like he would take over when Cronkite retired,
- 12:22Speaker 2: which could be in five years or ten years. But
- 12:25Speaker 2: rather got this top, top, top agent, this brilliant guy,
- 12:29Speaker 2: and they started the maneuvering and they made it look
- 12:32Speaker 2: like ABC was about to hire Rather, ABC was going
- 12:36Speaker 2: to hire him to do their evening news. They were
- 12:38Speaker 2: going to steal Rather. And if you don't get Kronkite
- 12:41Speaker 2: out now, you're not only going to lose, rather you're
- 12:43Speaker 2: going to have him competing against him. So CBS forced
- 12:46Speaker 2: Kronkite to step down, and he was not happy about it,
- 12:51Speaker 2: and he told me all this. He definitely did not
- 12:54Speaker 2: want to leave. He was pushed out. He made him.
- 12:57Speaker 2: They basically fired him in a very nice way because
- 12:59Speaker 2: he was crying. They agreed to put him on the
- 13:02Speaker 2: CBS board. They gave him a big, huge office in
- 13:05Speaker 2: a secretary. They told him he would become a regular
- 13:08Speaker 2: contributor and he would do specials and none of this
- 13:11Speaker 2: never really happened, but they fired him. They basically pushed
- 13:14Speaker 2: him out. So if you can get rid of him,
- 13:16Speaker 2: you can get rid of Scott Pelley and listen to
- 13:19Speaker 2: this pompous ass.
- 13:20Speaker 1: There was a thumb on the scale for the president's
- 13:24Speaker 1: version of events that I felt was a level of
- 13:30Speaker 1: political influence that I had never seen in thirty seven
- 13:34Speaker 1: years at CBS News.
- 13:36Speaker 2: What a pompous Jeric. What do you mean that the
- 13:40Speaker 2: pushing the president's point of view? When if you ever
- 13:42Speaker 2: watched CBS News and thought they were pushing the president's
- 13:45Speaker 2: point of view thumb on the scale? This guy had
- 13:50Speaker 2: his foot on the scale and was standing on it.
- 13:52Speaker 2: It was nothing but bias, total bias when he was there.
- 13:56Speaker 2: This is my favorite part where he's so unaware of
- 13:59Speaker 2: what's going going on in the world. I am the
- 14:03Speaker 2: new boss came Tom to say, you know, everybody thinks
- 14:07Speaker 2: we're biased.
- 14:08Speaker 1: She, i AM told, said something to the effect of,
- 14:11Speaker 1: why do you think the country thinks you're biased? But
- 14:16Speaker 1: she didn't offer any kind of a metric. You know,
- 14:19Speaker 1: what's your metric? Why do you think so? Do you
- 14:23Speaker 1: have a poll? Is there market research? What are you
- 14:26Speaker 1: talking about? Because we certainly didn't believe that.
- 14:29Speaker 2: How dumb is this guy? There's a thousand poles that
- 14:32Speaker 2: show that every major poll in the world showed that
- 14:35Speaker 2: every pole. How could he not be aware of that? Well,
- 14:39Speaker 2: because he lives in this bubble. That's the problem with
- 14:41Speaker 2: these people. They live in a bubble. They're all in
- 14:43Speaker 2: DC or Manhattan. They all only read the New York Times,
- 14:48Speaker 2: you know, they only read the Atlantic Magazine. They only
- 14:51Speaker 2: watch CNN or MS now. They have no contact with
- 14:54Speaker 2: the real world, none, nothing, you know, if they ever
- 15:01Speaker 2: got out into the heartland, talk to actual they never
- 15:03Speaker 2: met any actual Americans. They've never been to NASCAR, They've
- 15:07Speaker 2: never been to a waffle house. They've never seen normal
- 15:09Speaker 2: people ever. They just live in this in this bubble. Hey,
- 15:13Speaker 2: Miranda Devine will be with us in a few minutes. Also,
- 15:17Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one
- 15:21Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
- 15:24Speaker 2: one zero seven ten, Master New York Mark zimone. He's
- 15:29Speaker 2: on seven ten woof. We'll take some calls. Eight hundred
- 15:37Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight
- 15:40Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten. Let's go to
- 15:44Speaker 2: Tim in Orange County. Tim, how you doing good? I'm good?
- 15:50Speaker 5: Okay, this Scott Pally thing. Just want to remind everybody.
- 15:54Speaker 5: Jane Rather, for over thirty years, swore he was not
- 15:59Speaker 5: in any way biased. He was asked once where his
- 16:02Speaker 5: political leanings are, and he goes, well, I believe in
- 16:05Speaker 5: tight money and a strong defense. What does that make
- 16:08Speaker 5: I mean, they don't think.
- 16:10Speaker 6: They can be biased. They think, you know. I mean
- 16:15Speaker 6: again until Memogate in two thousand and four with w.
- 16:19Speaker 6: Bush exposed Rather, and to this day Dan Rather will
- 16:23Speaker 6: tell anyone who will listen, oh, we made a few
- 16:26Speaker 6: mistakes on that story, but we still got the truth.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Yeah, which of course he didn't. Rather, as the father
- 16:32Speaker 2: of modern day fake news, he made up a whole
- 16:34Speaker 2: fake story about Bush going a wall in the National Guard.
- 16:37Speaker 2: There was no evidence of this. In fact, his commander
- 16:41Speaker 2: said no such thing happened, and that in fact he
- 16:43Speaker 2: thought Bush was one of the best people he'd ever
- 16:46Speaker 2: had in the National Guard. So Rather actually used a
- 16:50Speaker 2: forged document, totally forged fake document. CBS investigated found that
- 16:56Speaker 2: to be the case, fired him immediately. But ever since
- 17:00Speaker 2: then it started under Bush. They used to go really
- 17:03Speaker 2: go after Bush, and the great Charles Croudhammer came up
- 17:08Speaker 2: with this term he called it Bush derangement syndrome, and
- 17:12Speaker 2: that term was used a lot back then, and then,
- 17:14Speaker 2: of course, nowadays we have Trump derangement syndrome, which is
- 17:17Speaker 2: one hundred times worse. I mean, he just took off
- 17:19Speaker 2: the gloves and they go crazy trying to get him.
- 17:21Speaker 2: Let's go to Dennis and Gillette, New Jersey. Dennis, how
- 17:24Speaker 2: you doing good?
- 17:26Speaker 7: Mark Love the show Listener. Listen, I'm surprised Trump hasn't
- 17:32Speaker 7: fired John thom for not getting enough votes for the
- 17:36Speaker 7: Save America Act or replace them. Well, what do you
- 17:39Speaker 7: think's going on there?
- 17:41Speaker 2: Well, he can't fire him, but he can certainly push
- 17:44Speaker 2: him out. But yeah, foone hasn't been great. You know.
- 17:48Speaker 2: The problem that to Save America Act. It's the worst
- 17:50Speaker 2: name in the world. It's nobody knows what it is.
- 17:54Speaker 2: When you say Save America Act, nobody knows what you're
- 17:56Speaker 2: talking about. It's the bill that would ensure safe and
- 17:59Speaker 2: fair elections everywhere in every state, clean up the process.
- 18:04Speaker 2: You know, no crazy mail in voting systems that go
- 18:07Speaker 2: for thirty days, no, you know, voting without an ID.
- 18:11Speaker 2: So they should have called it the Safe and Fair
- 18:13Speaker 2: Secure Election Act something like that. It's the Save America Act.
- 18:17Speaker 2: They're having trouble getting that through. Let's go to Joe
- 18:19Speaker 2: and Elmwood Park. Joe, how you doing. Good morning, Mark Morning.
- 18:23Speaker 8: I'm shocked.
- 18:23Speaker 9: There's no there's no voter fraud in New Jersey.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Really Apparently the RNC has uncovered many non citizens on
- 18:32Speaker 2: the voter.
- 18:33Speaker 8: Rules and that's how she got elected.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's yeah, yeah, that's part of it. Also,
- 18:38Speaker 2: you had Chittarelly is never going to win anything a
- 18:41Speaker 2: weak candidate. Hey, that UFC fight, it is supposed to
- 18:46Speaker 2: take place this weekend at the White House at crazy
- 18:49Speaker 2: Democrats have filed a lawsuit to stop it. Now you
- 18:52Speaker 2: can get these crazy little judges that watched. The judge
- 18:56Speaker 2: will order it stopped. It's absolutely ridiculous. Let's go to
- 19:00Speaker 2: Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing?
- 19:02Speaker 8: Good morning? Mark Comboarding Marra Mark. This election Lord, it fight.
- 19:07Speaker 8: The pair should be called the Safe and Secure Election Act. Mark.
- 19:12Speaker 8: These shenanigans that are going on in California with the elections,
- 19:16Speaker 8: and quite frankly in all the blue states in the
- 19:18Speaker 8: United States, were never happened. In Italy recently they had
- 19:22Speaker 8: what they called their mid term elections, but unlike ours,
- 19:27Speaker 8: you only have two days to vote, and only certain
- 19:31Speaker 8: people could sending mail in ballots. It's usually business people,
- 19:38Speaker 8: military people who are away and the mail in ballots
- 19:43Speaker 8: have to be postmarked twelve o'clock the day before the
- 19:48Speaker 8: actual election starts. Elections go on for two days Sunday
- 19:54Speaker 8: and all of Monday and by eleven o'clock at night
- 19:58Speaker 8: Monday evening all the elections and you could only go
- 20:04Speaker 8: to the precinct where you registered. You have to show
- 20:08Speaker 8: voter ey D cord an election id D card and
- 20:12Speaker 8: if you're abroad, like you're a businessman in the service,
- 20:16Speaker 8: is different. You just you could vote with a ballot.
- 20:20Speaker 2: You know, we're the only country that doesn't require idea
- 20:24Speaker 2: vote only India six hundred million votes to count in
- 20:27Speaker 2: one night.
- 20:28Speaker 8: Mark in Italy recently they had their midterms and even
- 20:33Speaker 8: like if you're a businessman, let's say you were away
- 20:35Speaker 8: out of the country and you wanted to vote, you
- 20:39Speaker 8: have to know you have to go to the Italian
- 20:42Speaker 8: consulate in that country, show poof of who you are
- 20:47Speaker 8: and then they'll give you a mail in ballot and
- 20:51Speaker 8: it has to be in by a certain time. None
- 20:54Speaker 8: of is five days. After three months.
- 20:56Speaker 2: After I agree, I agree, I like that system, Vincent call.
- 21:00Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Yeah, it's absolutely crazy. You know, the
- 21:03Speaker 2: idea of the mail in vote was mostly for the
- 21:05Speaker 2: military to be able to live. That's really what it
- 21:08Speaker 2: was for originally in a couple of cases where somebody
- 21:11Speaker 2: suddenly has to go to work overseas, That's what it
- 21:13Speaker 2: was for. And that was it. It went crazy, opening
- 21:16Speaker 2: up to anybody wants to do mail in. There was
- 21:19Speaker 2: the huge study of all this done a few years ago,
- 21:22Speaker 2: many years ago with Jimmy Carter and James Baker, Republican
- 21:27Speaker 2: and Democrat, and the study concluded that there is no
- 21:31Speaker 2: bigger source of voter fraud than mail in voting. And
- 21:34Speaker 2: that was signed by Jimmy Carter. No bigger source of
- 21:40Speaker 2: voter fraud than mail in voting. It's time to clean
- 21:44Speaker 2: it up. Hey, I hope everybody's got their power back.
- 21:46Speaker 2: There was a lot of power out yesterday. Big parts
- 21:49Speaker 2: of Connecticut had no power, parts of Long Island, New
- 21:53Speaker 2: Jersey all from storms, down wires, that sort of thing.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Hopefully everybody has their power back today. Come back the
- 22:00Speaker 2: great columnist Miranda Divine. We'll talk to her about crazy.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Scott Pelly Meet the Press, Platner, the Biden's and a
- 22:09Speaker 2: lot more. Coming up next on seven to ten Woor's.
- 22:13Speaker 4: Mark Simone Show Live from the WR Life Back Studios.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Well, Miranda Divine, the greatest columnist around. You can read
- 22:24Speaker 2: her columns the New York Post website. They're all up there,
- 22:27Speaker 2: and make sure you get her books best selling books,
- 22:29Speaker 2: Get the Big Guy and uh Laptop from Hell. And
- 22:33Speaker 2: she does an incredible podcast called pod Force one. She's
- 22:38Speaker 2: interviewed anybody and everybody. The latest episode the President of
- 22:42Speaker 2: the United States. Listen to pod Force won her interview
- 22:45Speaker 2: with President Trump. You love it. And she's with us now.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Miranda Divine, how you doing.
- 22:51Speaker 9: I'm really well, thanks March.
- 22:53Speaker 2: I'm very good. Hey, that's Scott Pelly. Have you ever
- 22:57Speaker 2: seen You've been in the news business a long time.
- 22:59Speaker 2: You ever seen a bigger, more self important Pampus asked,
- 23:02Speaker 2: than that's Scott Pelly.
- 23:05Speaker 9: Perfect description of him. No, I haven't, although I've seen
- 23:09Speaker 9: his type. He's the worst of the type. But they
- 23:13Speaker 9: do exist in television, as I'm sure you are a
- 23:15Speaker 9: rare Mark, very very puffed up. I think they're incredibly
- 23:19Speaker 9: important and they're just talking heads and honestly, they think
- 23:23Speaker 9: they're more important than the people they cover, which is
- 23:26Speaker 9: a joke. And he thought he was more important than
- 23:29Speaker 9: his bosses. And if anybody any of us, we all
- 23:33Speaker 9: haven't bosses. If any of us were to speak to
- 23:36Speaker 9: our bosses the way he did, we would expect to
- 23:38Speaker 9: be fired. So he claimed to The New York Times,
- 23:43Speaker 9: and he were absolutely shocked that he got fired. But
- 23:47Speaker 9: I thinking was he just embarked on a suicide mission.
- 23:50Speaker 9: But honestly, that New York Times interview, I'm glad they
- 23:53Speaker 9: video taped it because he was so insufferable, crying, weeping,
- 24:00Speaker 9: calling himself a combat veteran. I've been in combat, being
- 24:04Speaker 9: really in a Raq and Afghan a storm. You know,
- 24:07Speaker 9: I'd like to shoot the president or I've been shot at,
- 24:10Speaker 9: like the President's also been shot at in your life.
- 24:14Speaker 9: Not as a germanist. We have so many germalists, countless
- 24:18Speaker 9: journalists including me, have been tozn to Iraq, to Afghanistan,
- 24:24Speaker 9: et cetera. And like I don't regard myself as having
- 24:30Speaker 9: been in combat, it was looked after the whole way
- 24:34Speaker 9: as he would have been by actual soldiers, actual special forces.
- 24:40Speaker 9: Essays people who are in combat and have the guns
- 24:44Speaker 9: they protect us like the baby.
- 24:48Speaker 2: That's a good point. You're right, he's never been Nobody
- 24:51Speaker 2: ever actually aimed at Scott Pelly. President Trump actually got
- 24:54Speaker 2: hit in the head with a book. It was aimed
- 24:55Speaker 2: at him. But when he said, I couldn't belie if
- 25:00Speaker 2: they'd fire me. As how, he car pointed out the
- 25:03Speaker 2: news business has a higher death rate than the mafia.
- 25:05Speaker 2: People get fired all the time.
- 25:09Speaker 9: Frisfullly in teld me when you're earning, you're earning was
- 25:12Speaker 9: it ten million dollars a year or something? To Boster? Yeah,
- 25:15Speaker 9: you know, I think I think it was Klay Travis
- 25:19Speaker 9: who pointed out that the Rais and sixty minutes does
- 25:22Speaker 9: well is because it's got the football leading into it.
- 25:26Speaker 2: Yeah, if you separate the you get the episodes without
- 25:29Speaker 2: the football. The rains are terrible. So uh, hey, meet
- 25:33Speaker 2: the press. That Kristen Walker is another one that's delusional.
- 25:36Speaker 2: You can't interrupt the president like that and scream at
- 25:38Speaker 2: him and think he's going to stay. What's wrong with her?
- 25:42Speaker 9: Well, look, you know it's interesting because I just interviewed
- 25:45Speaker 9: the president the week before and I got much more
- 25:50Speaker 9: news out of what she did. But he actually broke
- 25:54Speaker 9: stories in my interview, and I don't think any story
- 25:58Speaker 9: was broken apart from that in her interview, apart from
- 26:01Speaker 9: the fact that he walked off the set. That was
- 26:03Speaker 9: the big news. So you get much more information by
- 26:08Speaker 9: being respectful and polite and for fistent and asking the
- 26:12Speaker 9: right questions. She did none of that, and instead she
- 26:17Speaker 9: felt it was her right or her duty or something
- 26:21Speaker 9: to disagree and say that everything he said was not correct,
- 26:26Speaker 9: and like she got into an argument with him about
- 26:29Speaker 9: the magic. She was saying to him, like I'm feelings
- 26:34Speaker 9: that are basically accepted now as reality, like that the
- 26:40Speaker 9: twenty twenty election was dodgy. There was something out about it.
- 26:44Speaker 9: It was rigged. Molly Hemingway wrote a whole book about it,
- 26:48Speaker 9: and we're seeing it now in California. It might be legal,
- 26:52Speaker 9: but it's not right. It's not kosher, and it's on
- 26:57Speaker 9: illegal because Democrats changed the rule to suit themselves in California,
- 27:01Speaker 9: and as they did during COVID in twenty twenty. We
- 27:04Speaker 9: saw that all over the country. So there was something
- 27:07Speaker 9: wrong with that election, obviously, and the Russia hopes that's
- 27:12Speaker 9: all been proven. It's all later and rest. So much
- 27:16Speaker 9: of what she was pushing back on him for is
- 27:19Speaker 9: like it was a hope. Now we've had new evidence,
- 27:23Speaker 9: we understand the President was right from the beginning, and
- 27:26Speaker 9: she's still living back in I don't know, twenty twenty land,
- 27:30Speaker 9: where everything the president says is wrong. He won an
- 27:34Speaker 9: election because the majority of the American people believed that
- 27:38Speaker 9: he had been wronged, that he was a victim of lawfair,
- 27:42Speaker 9: that Joe Biden lied and was not what he pretended
- 27:45Speaker 9: to be, that he opened the border. All the whole
- 27:49Speaker 9: things were the scales coming off the eyes of the
- 27:54Speaker 9: American voter and they realized that Donald Trump had told
- 27:58Speaker 9: the truth. And krist Welcome obviously didn't vote for him.
- 28:02Speaker 9: But she's just closed to right. She lives like they
- 28:05Speaker 9: all do, in a bubble where the only news they
- 28:09Speaker 9: get is from their own little circle of lives.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Well, Miranda Devine just interviewed President Trump. You should listen
- 28:16Speaker 2: to her podcast pod Force one. The latest episode a
- 28:21Speaker 2: long interview with President Trump. Fascinating. Now you've interviewed him,
- 28:24Speaker 2: of course before many times. What did you notice about
- 28:27Speaker 2: him this time around? It you seem as fired up
- 28:31Speaker 2: and as happy in office as usual.
- 28:36Speaker 9: She seems less light hearted, more serious, calls himself a
- 28:41Speaker 9: wartime president. Obviously that responsibility ways not here. But he
- 28:47Speaker 9: was extraordinarily as a loose business like efficient, you know,
- 28:54Speaker 9: like his time is precious, and more so now because
- 28:57Speaker 9: he's so busy, full of the energy, very focused, very sharp,
- 29:03Speaker 9: sharper than he was the last few times. I mean,
- 29:06Speaker 9: he's always shark but he was really like rained in
- 29:10Speaker 9: and serious. So you know, he's still a few few
- 29:14Speaker 9: of his like I don't even know if he means
- 29:17Speaker 9: to joke, but he's so humorous with some of the
- 29:19Speaker 9: things he says. But he still has that you know,
- 29:23Speaker 9: queen's sense of humor. And but yeah, I mean, and
- 29:27Speaker 9: it was just astonishing to me that I just you know,
- 29:30Speaker 9: I spent an hour sitting opposite him, and he was
- 29:34Speaker 9: like answered every question from all over the shop he had.
- 29:39Speaker 9: He was on top of every issue. He knew what
- 29:41Speaker 9: was going on right down to you know, like energy,
- 29:46Speaker 9: geopolitics and the war and the emittigritty of who's who
- 29:50Speaker 9: in Iran and Israel, and you know, he has called
- 29:54Speaker 9: with world leaders like Natmyahu right down to you know,
- 29:59Speaker 9: who's who in the zoo in the main Senate rate
- 30:02Speaker 9: and how that's going, and Graham Butner being a major
- 30:05Speaker 9: s leaves bag and James Tallarico being even worse than
- 30:08Speaker 9: saying he's a vegan in Texas. That doesn't work. You know,
- 30:12Speaker 9: He's just he's got it all. It's amazing how vers
- 30:15Speaker 9: Telly is. But he's doing the UFC, the FIFA Football
- 30:19Speaker 9: World Cups coming up. He just came out of a
- 30:22Speaker 9: meeting with the boss of the FIFA and introduced me
- 30:25Speaker 9: to him. And he's got that, He's got the Olympics,
- 30:28Speaker 9: he's got terrorism like King's got it all in his head,
- 30:31Speaker 9: the ballroom, the beautification of Washington GC, the thirty fountains
- 30:36Speaker 9: and statues and you know they're reflecting for but he's
- 30:39Speaker 9: so proud of and that he's driving like he's on
- 30:43Speaker 9: top of those contractors to make sure they're finished on time,
- 30:46Speaker 9: on budget and do a great job. So he doesn't
- 30:49Speaker 9: sleep it manages to keep all those balls in the air,
- 30:53Speaker 9: and he does it really well and very effectively. And
- 30:57Speaker 9: so it just amazed me coming that the interview to
- 31:01Speaker 9: see ted Ulou, the Democrat representative, grilling Micro Rubio on
- 31:07Speaker 9: the Hill about Donald Trump, the competitive to climb like
- 31:12Speaker 9: the old Donald Trump fills a sleep in meetings and
- 31:15Speaker 9: Marco goes, well, I was in that meeting setting right
- 31:17Speaker 9: next to him, and he didn't call a set, and
- 31:20Speaker 9: so what if he digs all asleep, Like you know,
- 31:23Speaker 9: he's sleeps. It's like four hours a night. He writes
- 31:27Speaker 9: his own truth socials in the middle of the night,
- 31:29Speaker 9: he's calling Marco Rubio said, he calls me at two am,
- 31:32Speaker 9: then he calls me at five am. He's exhausting for me,
- 31:36Speaker 9: and he's like, what thirty years younger than the prominent
- 31:39Speaker 9: so or twenty five? So yeah, I mean jd Vance
- 31:43Speaker 9: gets exhausted by him and he's barely forty. You know,
- 31:47Speaker 9: Marco Rubio talked about the Air Force one with Donald
- 31:52Speaker 9: Trump traveling overseas and you know everyone's trying to get
- 31:56Speaker 9: a bit of shut eye, and Trump's like roaming around
- 31:59Speaker 9: trying to someone who's awake that he can talk to,
- 32:02Speaker 9: and Rubyo is they're like hiding under the blanket.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Well, hey, Miranda Devine, you're an expert how to put
- 32:09Speaker 2: out a best selling book, how to launch a book,
- 32:12Speaker 2: how to promote a book. How would you rate Jill
- 32:15Speaker 2: Biden as a book promoting author?
- 32:19Speaker 9: Well, isn't it funny? She should be doing really well,
- 32:22Speaker 9: but her book, well, last I looked through yesterday, it
- 32:26Speaker 9: was languishing at forty two on Amazon, which is you know,
- 32:30Speaker 9: it's not the makings of a best seller when you've
- 32:32Speaker 9: just she just launched on Tuesday, so you think at
- 32:37Speaker 9: that stage my first book, like Shop from Hell, was
- 32:40Speaker 9: number one on Amazon. Yeah, so it's not going to
- 32:42Speaker 9: be as the bestseller. But I will tell you one thing.
- 32:45Speaker 9: She will probably get on the New York Times Bestseller
- 32:48Speaker 9: list because they have some secret algorithms, some formula they use,
- 32:54Speaker 9: which means that conservative books and broke Trump books books
- 32:58Speaker 9: or books by people have don't have Trump range in
- 33:01Speaker 9: syndrome don't get on their list. But Trump ranged books
- 33:06Speaker 9: always make it, even if they sell a handful. So
- 33:09Speaker 9: no doubt she will make the New York Times Bestseller list.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Yeah. So apparently the first two weeks of June are
- 33:15Speaker 2: the lowest book sales ever of the year, so you
- 33:18Speaker 2: don't have to sell too many books at this point,
- 33:20Speaker 2: at this period to get to that.
- 33:23Speaker 9: That's exactly the point is that you know it's easy
- 33:26Speaker 9: to get to number one in June because you've got
- 33:29Speaker 9: no competition and she's at number forty two, and she
- 33:33Speaker 9: may be lower today I haven't looked, and so she
- 33:36Speaker 9: needs Joe. But she's wheeled out four old Joe to
- 33:41Speaker 9: do like tiktoks for her and gate crash for a
- 33:44Speaker 9: bed that she had in the ninety second the other
- 33:47Speaker 9: night in New York. You know, he's not quite pretty,
- 33:55Speaker 9: not quite fair, but it's sharp enough. I always tell
- 33:58Speaker 9: people's wiley like a fox, and just like this Robert
- 34:02Speaker 9: her when he didn't want to Anthys Westering, we put
- 34:05Speaker 9: on the elderly man. He was a poor memories sick
- 34:10Speaker 9: where it's he wants to it can be sharp and
- 34:13Speaker 9: he looks like a doddering old fool when he was
- 34:16Speaker 9: not at the audience, which she ends up on the
- 34:18Speaker 9: stage but saying, you know who do you love more
- 34:21Speaker 9: than anyone in the whole white world. But he also
- 34:24Speaker 9: made sure help the immediate live books coming out in September.
- 34:29Speaker 9: And to me, knowing the Bidens as I do, that
- 34:32Speaker 9: look like a machios threat to his own party, because
- 34:36Speaker 9: the Democrats are absolutely sick of the Bidens. They are
- 34:40Speaker 9: trashing Jill Biden all we've got the Barma Bros on
- 34:43Speaker 9: their podcast all the foruner like ing delegates. They're trashing
- 34:49Speaker 9: dull and saying, how dare you? How selfish are you
- 34:53Speaker 9: to dredge this all up when we're right front of
- 34:55Speaker 9: the midterm and we want to forget about the bad
- 34:58Speaker 9: old days of blow bybe He's president. Joe, thanks, and hey,
- 35:03Speaker 9: play out my wife because my book's coming out in September.
- 35:06Speaker 9: Of course, all the Democrats British come up, Oh no, no,
- 35:09Speaker 9: he's wrong, it's not September. It's a different day. You know,
- 35:13Speaker 9: surely he wouldn't do that just before the midterm. Yes,
- 35:16Speaker 9: would would get out for Bengis because they they rubbed
- 35:21Speaker 9: him out and he thought he could do a second term.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Well, hey, Miranda, Divine, brilliant as always. I wish we
- 35:27Speaker 2: had more time, but everybody go listen to a podcast
- 35:30Speaker 2: Podforce one, the latest episode with Donald Trump. Brilliant interview.
