• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: So the U.S. Open underway. It's on till the 13th.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: When is that?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I think that's Sunday. And I can't watch. I like
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: playing tennis. I can't sit there and watch it on TV.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: He hits the ball. This guy hits the ball. That
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: guy hits the ball. It just keeps going back and forth. Oh,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: there's exciting moments. But then now the most exciting moment yesterday,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the player, she stops and starts yelling at a fan.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Will you stop smoking that weed? I don't want to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: get high. You know, you're living in a different world
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: right now. You walk down the street, even right over there,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: 57th Street. Walk up the block. Luckily, I have allergies.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I can't smell a thing. But everybody tells me the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: whole block smells like weed everywhere you go. The smell
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of pot in the air. So apparently, it was all
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: over the court at the U.S. Open thanks to these
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: people smoking. And again, she's a top athlete. Doesn't want
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to get high while she's playing. Stops to scream at
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the fans. And they said they'll put it out. They'll stop.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: We get excited here, or we get upset when the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: summer's over. If you're in Florida, it's a great time, right?
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Because now it's not 100 degrees.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I'm counting the days until it's below 90.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: See, they're happy when the summer's over. But what do
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you want to say, Mike?
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Well, two quick things.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: One, last night's event, I think if we think of
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: it in terms of a convention, that's just a word.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: It's a rally, and you've mentioned it before. getting republicans
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: out to vote is the biggest problem and i think
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: that's why they're doing it you need to get them
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: out the vote forget about the other side you know
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: they're going to do what they're going to do it's
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: our side but the republican side i should say You know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: they're lazy about getting out to vote, good times or
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: bad times. So I think it was really more like
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: a pep rally than it is.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: All right, well, that's a good point.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to call it that.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: People will say it didn't really get seen anywhere except Fox,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and they already have those. But you're right. It's to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: get them out to vote. And the people in the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: hall are the delegates. You need them to really go
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: work their ass off.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: They have to go back and pound the pavement, as
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you said. You know, you've been on that forever about Republicans'
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: low turnout to begin with.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: And the other thing about these EPA files that Mamdani's
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: going to release or has released, I think they're waiting
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: till after the 9-11 events, obviously, because it's a solemn occasion.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: And then, you know, in like mid-October, as it gets
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: closer to midterms, they're going to find a connection between Giuliani,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: because Giuliani's going to end up being the bad guy.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: You know that, even though they're all Democrats in power,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: you know. And they're going to connect that to Trump
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: and blah, blah. You know, you can see the dominoes
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: being lined up so they can knock over the first
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: one and make Republicans.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: But remember, just as much blame will go to the state.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: That's George Pataki. Just as much blame will go to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the federal government. They're the EPA. And the EPA commissioner
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: at the time, Christy Todd-Whitman, made that statement. Don't worry.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: The air is safe.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: She's.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Since apologized, but that's going to haunt her for the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: rest of her life.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: We shouldn't forget that all the senators from New York
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: were Democrats. The governor, Cuomo was a governor. Obama was president.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: There's lots of.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: They're framing it so the Republicans are going to be
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the bad guys. I can see it coming.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. I just think Mom Donnie wants to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: bring down all of them. Giuliani, Bloomberg, All the establishment, Pataki,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: just wants to destroy them all. So the crazy socialists will,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: by comparison, they always suffer when compared to these great
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: establishment leaders. So he's trying to destroy them. Let's go
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to David in Manhattan. David, how are you doing?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Thank you very much, sir. I just wanted
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to hear your opinion on President Trump saying how great
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the neo-Nazi party in Germany was. It seems advance, musk.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and Rubio have a soft spot for them, too.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Well, nobody has denounced Nazis, neo-Nazis, more than Donald Trump.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: You can check the record. Nobody's denounced him more than
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: he has.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he said that the party's going to make.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: This is like a Charlottesville all over again. Remember when
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they doctored up the tape where he said, there's very
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: fine people on both sides. And that was it. They
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: cut out the next sentence where he says, I'm not
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: talking about the neo-Nazis. They're to be totally condemned. Nobody
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: has denounced Nazis, neo-Nazis, Nobody has denounced David Duke more
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: than Donald Trump. You can check the video, as they'd say.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And nobody has fought, no president has ever, ever, ever
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: fought harder for Jews, for Israel, than Donald Trump. Let's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: go to Joseph in Manhattan. Joseph, how are you doing?
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Okay, Mark.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Good morning to you.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Mark, there was no World Trade Center tower security. Remember
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Philippe Petit, the French president? high wire stunt, their little walker,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: his group was allowed to get their equipment into the
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: World Trade Center.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Towers, hook up the wires between the towers. Tremendous amount
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of world trade security. You know, there were 25 cops
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: assigned to the perimeter at all times back then. 25 cops.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: But he got in.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you're talking about an incident, what, 1973? 1973.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: And there were no security cameras on top of those
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: two roof towers showing them?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: You're talking about an incident in 1973, one incident in
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: 40 years. That's a pretty good track record for the security.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: That's a very good track record.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: It should have been stopped.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: See, that's why I always tell you, don't debate anybody.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Don't argue with anybody. There's nothing you can say to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: this guy. He'll just keep parroting this. He'll just keep
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: repeating over and over. He'll keep repeating the same comment again.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: If you had one guy, and that was a harmless guy.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: It was just a stunt. But that was one incident
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in 40, 50 years. It's not a bad track record.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of security in the World Trade
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Center that day. And there were 25 NYPD officers assigned
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to patrol the perimeter of the World Trade Center. And
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that's why terrorists, after carefully studying the thing, they plotted
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: this for a couple of years. That's why they realized
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: they'd have to do it from the air. It was
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the only way they could pull it off.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: So.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow, 9-11. Very, very, very sad day. I don't like
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: going through this every year. And remember, I've asked on
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the program a number of times, when does this stop?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: When do we stop reliving this? Well, I checked with
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: people in Hawaii. Apparently, they still do it every Pearl
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Harbor anniversary. They still do a huge, solemn ceremony. It's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a big deal in Hawaii. It's on television all over
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the place in Hawaii. In fact, they'll do it this
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: December 7th. It'll be the first year that there's not
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a single survivor left. It's 85 years later, but they'll
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: still do it this year. You know that actually Japanese
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: leaders fly in for that ceremony? They offer apologies and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff, but they participate in it. It's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: every year. So this 9-11 ceremony, I guess if that's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor's the example, we'll be doing this forever. Hey,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: we got a lot coming up. We got two more
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: hours to go and a lot to get to. You know,
• 7:40

• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal about them? Then you got the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: single most listened to radio show on earth, Sean Hannity.
