  Speaker 2: people are, you know, starting to, you know, get a
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: little concerned. You know. I sew this editorial in the
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: New York Post and Jack Keene, who's one of the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: retired general is one of his big supporters on was saying, well,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: we're six weeks into the two week cease fire, et cetera,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: et cetera. Seems like, you know, he's got to do something,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: doesn't he? Oh?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, no, Jack Keene has all kinds of targets
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: he wanted, apparently Israel and everybody. They've come up with
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: about two to three weeks of stuff to hit, so
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it'll be pretty good. But you think two months from
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: now everything will be fine or ran will be solved, right.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I hope so? Well, you know what I think. Don't
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: you think that he wants it solved by the two
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding the birthday of America.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I mean it's got to be wrapped up by that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure it will be the vict brief. Don't
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Democrats ever learn? You know, when Trump looks like he's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: in the middle of trouble and they're yelling and screaming
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that tech in the end, he always ends up being right.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: He always ends up solving the problem, doesn't he.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he does, he does, and the Democrats just look
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: crazier and crazier. How about this woman in Texas that
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: wants to put Zionist in concentration camp? I mean, wow,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: talk about the you know, the mask falling? Why just
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: put on a hood, you know, white white pillow case
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and you know, just come out to go go like
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the old days burn across down there in Texas where
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: she's running for office. Good lord, they really are out
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: of their minds. It's just unbelieving. It's just horrible. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: had that guy Jonathan Alberton, you know, the guy who
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you know, was talking about Trump derangement syndrome, the psychotherapist
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: on my show yesterday. It is these women outside of
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Luigi's trial. I mean, this is like a mutation of
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Trump derangement syndrome. Right, It's like some kind of crazy crazy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a cancer, it's a mental disease.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: It just looks mutating. It. The more and more awful variations.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Hey, a big night last night for President Trump. All
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the people he endorsed. He was thirty seven and oh,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: thirty seven victories. Pretty impressive, isn't it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, you know. I mean and again I
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: mean Massy going crazy saying he couldn't reach his opponent
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: because he's in Tel Aviv. I mean, it's just he
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Trump brings out the worst in all of these people.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And you know, fifty five forty five that's like, that's
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: like borderline landslide, you know, especially since he's been in
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the House for what seven terms, and you know, another
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: one I think that people people haven't paid enough attention
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to is Brad Raffitsberger in Georgia. Yeah, I mean finishing third.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I mean he, you know, that guy that was part
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: of the whole thing, you know, that whole lie about
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: find the votes. And you know, his his top eight
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: was the one who who put all that bs together
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and also violated the law by you know, recording the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: recording the phone call in a two party stay and
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you know, and he and you know, people just you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: they haven't noticed that he went down in flames finishing
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: third like Cassidy did in Louisiana. Now, but cast what
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a what a what a paragon of virtue he is he?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Now he now wants to invoke the War Powers Act.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: He loses the primary and totally flips. Well, well, Senator,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: as long as it's nothing personal.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, we got the word today. Barney Frank died at
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: age of eighty six. You know, you go back twenty years,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Barney Frank was the angry, screaming left wing. Today he'd
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: be like a moderate in that party, wouldn't he.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well he, I mean he said he said it
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: at the at the very end. You know that he that,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you know that this was not the way to go,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and that they weren't going to win any elections this way.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: And yeah, you're right, I mean he was. He was
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: really an odd character. I mean, you know, for for
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: as nutty as he was, he was, he was really
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: a witty guy in his own way. And I knew
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: him at the you know, at city Hall in the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: state House, and you know, he had he many many
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: great lines. He had. One of his lives was the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the He said that they're two bad things can happen
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to you. If you run for Boston City Council number one,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: you could lose. Number two, you could win. And he
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: also and he also said he learned something from the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: hot Bottom scandal. He said, he said, your core constituency
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: is not the people who are with you when you're right.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Your core constituency of the people who are with you
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: when you're wrong. And that's it's so true. You know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: he was, I don't know he you know, he he
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: he used to he used to yell at me. He
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: yelled at everybody who disagreed with him. But you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: he compared to the other guy and the other gay
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: guy in the Massachusetts delegation. Gary Studd's the one who
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: was raping underage boys on the junkets, who junkets to Spain.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: You know, he was he was one of nature's noblemen.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I guess I would say, hey, Howie.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Carr, you're upon each guy. They're going to rename the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: airport in July. It becomes Donald J. Trump International Airport.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Isn't that great for liberals that have to fly there?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Won't that be torture for them?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: They get used to it, though, they got they got used,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: They've got used to Reagan International. Right, this is but yeah,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you're right, this is this is worse for them. Yeah,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I guess they will they you know, the the Fort
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Lauderdale Airport is already kind of overcrowded, but maybe some
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of them will start flying down there anyway because to Trump.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you leave Trump Airport, you gotta go down Donald J.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Trump Boulevard to get to the island.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Right, that's right. Southern, Yeah, Southern Boulevard is being everyone's
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: still okay. It's one of those things there, you know, everybody,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you know, for twenty years, everyone will still call it
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Southern Boulevard and it will kind of fade away and
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it will become Trump Boulevard, I guess, you know, but
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: you see, you know, it's uh, it's it's really great
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: that they're that they're doing doing these things for him too,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: because it should be named after him, you know, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: mean he and again, and I think I've told you
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: this before, but you know mar A Lago, if he
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: hadn't have bought the place from the town, because the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: town owned that she Marjorie Merriweather Post had given it
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: to the town. If he hadn't bought it, it would
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: now be condos, you know, just another another you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: three hundred condos, you know, high rise overlooking the lake.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Lake Warred. I mean, he he really did the town
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: a great historical service. You know, He's right up there
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: with Flagler, you know in terms of you know, making
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the town better, I think in terms of development, but
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: no one will ever admit it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you go down to Florida, everything is named
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Flagler or Meisner, whoever these two guys were.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Meiser was the architect, right, yeah, and Flagler was the guy.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Flagler was Rockefeller's partner who you know, first realized what
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: a great place it was and built the Florida East
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Coast railroad way that was, you know, brought everything down,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: including all the rich people in their private private cars
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: from New York. Hey.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: If there were no term limits, Donald Trump could win
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight, couldn't he.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I did. I That was my poll question a
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: couple of days ago, Mark I did. I asked the
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: question and I said, would you vote for for Trump
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: for a fourth for for the fourth time? And I
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: eighty five percent of my listeners said, yeah, they would.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I think they. I think I think it went again,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: wouldn't he? Yeah? And why?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I just still don't understand why we have term limits
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: for Congress and not for for the present but not
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: for Congress. What sense does that make?
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I think people? I think people got a in the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: in the forties, people just said said, you know, Roosevelt
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have shouldn't have run all those times, especially the
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: last term when he was obviously dying, and then you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the war was going on, so you know, don't change
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: horses in the middle of a stream. You know that
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: all that's saying from forty four, and they just want
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: to make sure it never happened again. And it's it's
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: one of those things that it's probably not. It probably
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: was in needed. It's you know, it's it's like that,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: you know. You know what the most worthless amendment though,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of all time is the twenty fifth Amendment. Did anyone
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: ever seriously think that that the members of the cabinet
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: were going to vote to remove their boss? I mean,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: that just goes against everything in human nature, doesn't it. Yeah.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And actually Biden was the ultimate test of that. If
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: it didn't kick in with him, it's never going to kick.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: In, right, And they never and they and all and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: now all these guys that were in the cabinets, I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: never saw the guy I never saw, you know, because
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: because they couldn't put they couldn't put him out there. Yeah,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: not even not even to the people he worked for. Yeah.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: So it's I mean, it's just it's worthless sometimes. You
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: sometimes they put in these amendments that aren't really necessary.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Some people just think that we never should have had
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: an amendment to allow the senator to be elected by
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the by the by the vote of the people, that
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: they should have continued to be elected by the legislature.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Have you seen our legislature? I don't think so.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, say, yeah, New York and Massachusetts have
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the same problem with the legisl It wouldn't it wouldn't
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: be much. It's like the election of judges, you know.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's a nice concept theoretically to elect judges,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: but it it really doesn't work out all that well,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: does it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: No, Hey, Caroline Levitt, you're a protege there. She's on
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: maternity leave. So one day Rubio filled and he was
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: dazzling at that press briefing. Yesterday, Vance Fielding wasn't quite
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: as dazzling as Rubio was.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: He No, And you know I was, you know, sometimes
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I watch it on TV and then I listened again
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: when I replay the cuts up my show, and he
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: really wasn't all that enthusiastic about Trump's plan for I ran.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: You know, you could kind of tell he he was.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: He was going through the motions and he was, but
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: he didn't he didn't really deliver. I know, I thought
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Rubio was better. I think Rubio is really picking up steam.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And you know, I guess he's still I guess he
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: said last week again that he was still abow to advance.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: But you know what, no one's holding him to. No
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: one's sold him to a statement like that. You know
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: he's he wasn't under oath when he said it either.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a couple of years away. And you're right,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that was a turning point, that briefing. But well, great stuff.
