- 0:00Speaker 1: You're ahead of the game just for being here. It's
- 0:04Speaker 1: marks alone on sevent tenor well, beautiful sunny day to
- 0:15Speaker 1: day and tomorrow we'll talk about the Knicks. We'll get
- 0:19Speaker 1: to Elon Musk, we'll get to a Platner and a
- 0:22Speaker 1: whole lot more. You know, this is going to be
- 0:24Speaker 1: a parade, a big parade. It looks like it'll be
- 0:27Speaker 1: Thursday morning.
- 0:28Speaker 2: We're gonna be sure additional details over the next few days,
- 0:30Speaker 2: but it is going to be on Thursday. There's going
- 0:32Speaker 2: to be a ceremony at City Hall. Then there's going
- 0:34Speaker 2: to be a ticker tape parade the first time in
- 0:37Speaker 2: Knick's history, and we're also going to be presenting keys
- 0:40Speaker 2: to the city to the team.
- 0:41Speaker 1: It's the Canyon of Heroes. They always say down the
- 0:43Speaker 1: Canyon Heroes. That actually goes up. It heads uptown. It
- 0:47Speaker 1: starts at the bottom and heads up to City Hall.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Do you know that the Knicks, each player will get
- 0:53Speaker 1: a bonus for winning the championship. You know how much?
- 0:56Speaker 1: The bonus is? Seven hundred and seventy dollars. Each player
- 1:01Speaker 1: gets almost a million dollars three quarters of a million
- 1:05Speaker 1: dollars as a bonus. President Trump described the next championship
- 1:10Speaker 1: run as maybe the greatest of all time. Sent them
- 1:14Speaker 1: a great message. Now, of course you had some mayhem
- 1:18Speaker 1: afterwards in the Times Square area forty second Street down
- 1:22Speaker 1: to Grand Central, sixty three people arrested, four stabbings, one shooting.
- 1:28Speaker 1: But this was a pleasure compared to Chicago on a
- 1:32Speaker 1: typical Saturday night. Ten members of the NYPD were injured,
- 1:38Speaker 1: including one officer hit by a glass bottle. Was pretty
- 1:41Speaker 1: ugly stuff. Now. Setting buses on fire over turning buses
- 1:46Speaker 1: that kind of sere were buses that were being used
- 1:49Speaker 1: to transport World Cup soccer fans to MetLife Stadium. So
- 1:53Speaker 1: you know, we got surveillance video over every inch of
- 1:55Speaker 1: the street and if you look at the video, you
- 1:58Speaker 1: can clearly see the faces of the idiots doing this.
- 2:01Speaker 1: So hopefully they will all be tracked down and arrested.
- 2:05Speaker 1: One bus was completely torched after these maniacs lit pieces
- 2:09Speaker 1: of clothing on fire and tossed it inside. Again, hopefully
- 2:13Speaker 1: they'll find and track down every single one of them. Yesterday,
- 2:18Speaker 1: the UFC fight last night at the White House, I'm
- 2:21Speaker 1: looking people that were there posting video, Spectacular staging production,
- 2:27Speaker 1: really really amazing, night and it went on for hours. Now,
- 2:32Speaker 1: this is very upsetting to democrats and liberals. They never
- 2:35Speaker 1: heard of UFC fighting. They don't know what it is,
- 2:38Speaker 1: you know, especially the media types. They all live in
- 2:41Speaker 1: the middle of Manhattan. They live in the middle of
- 2:43Speaker 1: d C, the middle of Beverly Hills. They've never been
- 2:46Speaker 1: to actual America. They don't know what a wah wah is. Seriously,
- 2:52Speaker 1: they don't never heard of it. They don't know what
- 2:54Speaker 1: the olive garden is. They've never been to one. They've
- 2:57Speaker 1: never heard of it. No idea about normal America. They've
- 3:02Speaker 1: heard of NASCAR, they don't know that anybody actually watches it.
- 3:06Speaker 1: They don't imagine anybody actually goes to it. It's actually
- 3:10Speaker 1: the number one spectator sport in America, NASCAR, but they
- 3:13Speaker 1: don't do They don't know about any of this stuff.
- 3:15Speaker 1: So they certainly don't know anything about UFC fighting. They've
- 3:19Speaker 1: never heard about it, and they thought this was disgusting.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Look at this PBS. You know, they have a PBS
- 3:26Speaker 1: News hour. You want to see some slanted you want
- 3:30Speaker 1: to see some biased, slanted news one night, put on
- 3:33Speaker 1: that PBS News Hour. It's on every night. So on Friday, Night,
- 3:37Speaker 1: and they only have like the most left wing kooks.
- 3:40Speaker 1: If they have anybody they call a republican, it's always
- 3:42Speaker 1: like a New York Times republican, which means a left winger.
- 3:47Speaker 1: It means it's a very biased left winger. So it's
- 3:50Speaker 1: David Brooks, the real left wing New York Times calumnist.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Actually now he works for The Atlantic, which is the
- 3:56Speaker 1: most biased left wing publication on earth. And then from
- 4:02Speaker 1: MS now Jonathan k Part by the way, two very
- 4:04Speaker 1: nice guys, but the most slanted left wing guys. So
- 4:08Speaker 1: that's who they have on and they're denouncing UFC fighting
- 4:13Speaker 1: and they said it shows the cultural decline. It's unconscionable. Now,
- 4:19Speaker 1: all these people denouncing it. When Biden had that that
- 4:22Speaker 1: trans those topless tranny people dancing all over the White
- 4:27Speaker 1: House topless, and remember they painted the south of southern
- 4:32Speaker 1: part of the White House. They painted it red, white
- 4:34Speaker 1: and blue, and they painted the columns. It was disgusting
- 4:38Speaker 1: what they did to the White House. And these trans
- 4:41Speaker 1: people were topless trans women or I guess there were women,
- 4:45Speaker 1: I don't know, but topless dancing with Biden all over
- 4:48Speaker 1: the White House. Launch I mean, you couldn't found anything
- 4:51Speaker 1: more unpresidential than this whole thing. But you know, it's
- 4:55Speaker 1: all these same people. David Brooks, Jonathan k part never
- 4:58Speaker 1: mentioned it, never did it, said never denounce it. But
- 5:02Speaker 1: they said, this is the cultureal decline of America. They
- 5:06Speaker 1: said John F. Kennedy brought Robert Frost, Jerome Robbins, Leonard
- 5:10Speaker 1: Bernstein to the White House. He also brought Judith Exnerr.
- 5:15Speaker 1: He brought the Marilyn Monroe into the back door. Remember
- 5:18Speaker 1: Pixie and Dixie, the two hookers he had on staff
- 5:21Speaker 1: who would swim with him in the pool. And now
- 5:25Speaker 1: we have cage fighting. Don't say America's don't anybody say
- 5:29Speaker 1: America is not in cultural decline. Well, but again they're
- 5:33Speaker 1: unaware of what goes on in America. They don't know.
- 5:36Speaker 1: UFC fighting is a very, very, very big deal in America.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of it though, I'm not a
- 5:42Speaker 1: big boxing fan, but that looks a little more, a
- 5:45Speaker 1: little more dignified, a little more elegant. But they're barely
- 5:49Speaker 1: wearing gloves. They're punching each other in the head, and
- 5:52Speaker 1: they're kicking each other in the stomach. To me, it's
- 5:56Speaker 1: not the greatest sport, but what do I know? So
- 5:58Speaker 1: on Friday, Elon mush becomes the first trillionaire in the
- 6:02Speaker 1: history of the world, the first trillionaire ever. It was
- 6:07Speaker 1: an amazing feat, especially for a guy that came to
- 6:10Speaker 1: America with nothing, an immigrant, an African American immigrant, comes
- 6:15Speaker 1: here and becomes the first trillionaire. How much is a
- 6:18Speaker 1: trillion dollars? Well, think about it this way. One million
- 6:23Speaker 1: seconds ago, it was June first, a billion seconds ago.
- 6:32Speaker 1: It was nineteen ninety four, a trillion seconds ago, it
- 6:37Speaker 1: was thirty thousand BC. So with a net worth of
- 6:42Speaker 1: over a trillion dollars, Musk has more money than one
- 6:47Speaker 1: hundred and ninety seven countries than the domestic product of
- 6:50Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety seven countries. There's only twenty one
- 6:53Speaker 1: nations on Earth richer than Elon Musk. Musk could also
- 6:57Speaker 1: think about this, He could purchase every single franchise in
- 7:02Speaker 1: the NFL, Major League Baseball, NHL, and NBA, and ten
- 7:09Speaker 1: of the world's most valuable soccer teams and still have
- 7:13Speaker 1: four hundred billion left a trillionaire. That's a hell of
- 7:18Speaker 1: a lot of money. But Democrats went nuts. Jimmy Kimmel
- 7:25Speaker 1: in absolute rage foaming at the mouth on TV Friday,
- 7:30Speaker 1: yelling and screaming and lying. Of course, I don't think
- 7:33Speaker 1: he's lying. I think he's just stupid. I just think
- 7:34Speaker 1: he doesn't know. A lot of these people just repeat
- 7:37Speaker 1: things they hear on the left wing media. So he's
- 7:39Speaker 1: yelling and screaming about how Elon Musk paid no taxes,
- 7:43Speaker 1: came here and did nothing but take from this country.
- 7:46Speaker 1: All he did was take. This, of course, is a
- 7:49Speaker 1: total lie. Nobody in the history of America or probably
- 7:52Speaker 1: the world, ever paid more taxes than Elon Musk. He
- 7:57Speaker 1: pays billions and billions. He's the single biggest tax pair
- 8:00Speaker 1: in history. Now, Tesla might not pay tax but Tesla,
- 8:03Speaker 1: believe or not, doesn't make a profit. You know when
- 8:06Speaker 1: they said Amazon, why didn't pay any taxes? The first
- 8:09Speaker 1: ten years of Amazon? Why is it paying taxes? Because
- 8:11Speaker 1: it's losing like one hundred billion a year. The reason
- 8:14Speaker 1: they're losing they keep pumping the money back into the company.
- 8:17Speaker 1: They don't take any of it. They just pump it
- 8:19Speaker 1: back into research development. But Kimmel fuming, Bernie Sanders yelling,
- 8:25Speaker 1: there's a call to action, a call to action. They
- 8:29Speaker 1: just have to stop people from being successful. Now, remember
- 8:33Speaker 1: when Elon put that stock out, he becomes a trillionaire.
- 8:37Speaker 1: But forty five hundred of his employees became millionaires. Forty
- 8:42Speaker 1: five hundred, four hundred of them now worth over one
- 8:45Speaker 1: hundred million. And when I say employees, forty four hundred
- 8:49Speaker 1: became millionaires, if you look at the list, some of
- 8:53Speaker 1: them are, you know, plumbers, electricians. Here's one guy, Trevor Heath.
- 8:59Speaker 1: He was gonna take a job at General Electric, but
- 9:03Speaker 1: apparently his parents convinced him to go with Oh no,
- 9:06Speaker 1: his parents wanted him to go to a General Electric.
- 9:08Speaker 1: He wanted to go to SpaceX. His parents said General Electric,
- 9:12Speaker 1: it's more stable, go there, but he didn't listen. He
- 9:15Speaker 1: went to SpaceX, stayed there twelve years, which gave him
- 9:19Speaker 1: over one hundred thousand shares. They pay a lot of
- 9:22Speaker 1: the employees, all these employees in stock among salary. They
- 9:26Speaker 1: also give him stock. So at one hundred thousand a share,
- 9:30Speaker 1: he's now worth seventeen million dollars at in his thirties,
- 9:36Speaker 1: seventeen million. He's now semi retired. This happened to a
- 9:39Speaker 1: lot of guys. There's a plumber there who all of
- 9:41Speaker 1: a sudden ended up with ten million from his stock.
- 9:45Speaker 1: But they're just going crazy, Bernie. It's a call to
- 9:49Speaker 1: action AOC. Elon Musk is not a scientist, he's not
- 9:54Speaker 1: an engineer. He's a billionaire con man with a lot
- 9:56Speaker 1: of money. None of this is true. This is actually insane.
- 9:59Speaker 1: This on to talk. Paul Krugman. You remember that bug eyed,
- 10:03Speaker 1: weird looking with the crazy eyes, that New York Times
- 10:07Speaker 1: economists who was always wrong about everything. Anytime he predicted
- 10:10Speaker 1: a collapse the stock market would boom. Anytime he predicted
- 10:14Speaker 1: a boom that would collapse, always wrong every time. Paul
- 10:17Speaker 1: Krugman said, the shows it's a rig system that Elon
- 10:23Speaker 1: Musk would become a trillionaire. He called SpaceX a Ponzi scheme.
- 10:28Speaker 1: This is insane. CNN and ms now pundits called Musk
- 10:36Speaker 1: a white supremacist. Actually one of them was on with
- 10:40Speaker 1: Scott Jennings yelling that Musk is a white supremacist. So
- 10:46Speaker 1: Jennings said, you might want to hire a lawyer right now.
- 10:49Speaker 1: You might need a lawyer for that comment. But he's
- 10:53Speaker 1: a guy who came to America with nothing, just a backpack.
- 10:58Speaker 1: He and his brother started a little company called zip two.
- 11:02Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell did, but four years
- 11:04Speaker 1: later he sold ZIP two for three hundred million dollars.
- 11:09Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's a genius. He's a genius. A little, young,
- 11:12Speaker 1: little guy sells his company for three hundred million. Then
- 11:16Speaker 1: he started a company. He co founded a company called PayPal.
- 11:21Speaker 1: PayPal revolutionized digital payments. He later sold PayPal to eBay
- 11:26Speaker 1: for one point five billion. Took all that money and
- 11:30Speaker 1: bet everything on Tesla and SpaceX. Now the guys had
- 11:34Speaker 1: a bunch of failures. You know, you gotta remember every great,
- 11:37Speaker 1: great success, Steve Jobs, everybody, every great company's had massive failures.
- 11:42Speaker 1: That's how you learn, that's how you do stuff. You know,
- 11:45Speaker 1: you do one hundred things, five to ten of them
- 11:48Speaker 1: absolute failures. Same thing with Trump. Guys had I think
- 11:52Speaker 1: it's one hundred and seventy two companies. You know, each
- 11:55Speaker 1: project's a separate company. Four of them went bankrupt. Was
- 11:58Speaker 1: it was all Atlantic City, which is a very low
- 12:01Speaker 1: record for bankruptcy. Most companies. Apples had more bankruptcies. Google.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Google had one of the biggest bankruptcies in history. Remember
- 12:08Speaker 1: the Google glasses. That was like a twelve billion dollar
- 12:11Speaker 1: loss right there. That one thing but Musk was an
- 12:16Speaker 1: incredible worker. He worked insane hours. He slept on factory floors,
- 12:21Speaker 1: office floors. He was constantly told everything he was doing
- 12:25Speaker 1: was impossible. But he not only changed the world, he
- 12:28Speaker 1: saved lives. He invented unbelievable stuff. Whatever that thing he
- 12:34Speaker 1: invented for people that are paralyzed so they can do stuff,
- 12:38Speaker 1: change their lives. Starlink has saved lives all over the world.
- 12:42Speaker 1: That's used in war zones. Ukraine used it to survive.
- 12:46Speaker 1: It's used all over the place. But Democrats hate this guy.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Here's Liz Warren. You see it's up on her Actually
- 12:53Speaker 1: you can go to my Twitter. You can see it.
- 12:56Speaker 1: It's Liz Warren calling a Musk a free denouncing him.
- 13:03Speaker 1: But she's recording it in the back of her lemo
- 13:06Speaker 1: while the chauffeur is driving. If you're on my Twitter,
- 13:09Speaker 1: also look at that video for getting off her private jet.
- 13:13Speaker 1: We know how Elon Musk made all this money. As
- 13:16Speaker 1: we said earlier, how did Elizabeth Warren become a multi millionaire.
- 13:21Speaker 1: She's a multimillionaire on a government salary. Could she explain that? Remember,
- 13:28Speaker 1: Musk is the biggest single taxpayer in history and her salary,
- 13:32Speaker 1: every cent of it forever paid for by taxpayers. As
- 13:38Speaker 1: Musk said, if you could die from irony, she'd be
- 13:41Speaker 1: dead already. So unbelievable. Now, Democrats, we'll back anybody, anybody.
- 13:51Speaker 1: They don't care who it is. They're not about character
- 13:53Speaker 1: or any of that. The backing Graham Plattner, who's got
- 13:58Speaker 1: a giant Nazi tattoo in the middle of his chest. Uh,
- 14:02Speaker 1: he's got an incredible track record of terrible behavior with women,
- 14:08Speaker 1: cheating on everybody, sexting and texting with all kinds of women.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Uh.
- 14:12Speaker 1: The only Democrat who'll be honest is Fatterman.
- 14:15Speaker 3: This is a guy that's been dropping picks on Kick
- 14:17Speaker 3: for a decade. You know, and now you're you know,
- 14:20Speaker 3: you're a journalist. You all know what Kick is for,
- 14:23Speaker 3: and you know they have six significant problems about being
- 14:26Speaker 3: you know, the predator's predators playground for there. You know,
- 14:30Speaker 3: why can't someone perhaps you ask him why did you
- 14:33Speaker 3: choose Kick of all the different apps?
- 14:35Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently it's an app where you meet very young women.
- 14:39Speaker 1: But Democrats don't care. Now listen to Hakim Jeffries, not
- 14:43Speaker 1: the brightest guy in the world, but uh, they ask
- 14:47Speaker 1: him well, he'll support Platner. He was a little evasive.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Does Graham Platner have the character to be a US
- 14:52Speaker 2: Senator leader? Jeffries, Well, first.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Of all, I thought you were going to say, the
- 14:56Speaker 1: big news of the week is the Knicks winning the
- 14:59Speaker 1: NBA champions We're going to get to that first time
- 15:02Speaker 1: in fifty three years. Yeah, But he kept ducking the question.
- 15:07Speaker 1: This morning, he appears on Good Day in New York
- 15:09Speaker 1: wearing a Nick's hat and a T shirt and what
- 15:14Speaker 1: a cheap, plant pandering, hustling politician. Hey, when we come back. Oh,
- 15:21Speaker 1: by the way, Scott Shannon will be with us little
- 15:23Speaker 1: later this hour, the Great Scott Shannon. We'll talk to
- 15:24Speaker 1: him about the Knicks and other stuff coming up, but
- 15:28Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three two one
- 15:32Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
- 15:35Speaker 1: one zero seven ten.
