Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You just heard the news.
- 0:02Speaker 2: You know you'll find out what it all means. Hey
- 0:05Speaker 2: smarts alone on sevenor Hey, it's Monday, but it's a
- 0:12Speaker 2: great Monday, because this is gonna be a three day
- 0:15Speaker 2: weekend coming up. Memorial Day is coming weekend. We got
- 0:18Speaker 2: a lot to get to. You're not gonna believe this.
- 0:20Speaker 2: The people that run this climate change hoax are confessing
- 0:25Speaker 2: admitting it may not be true. We'll get to that.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Coming up. We'll get to President Trump and China, the
- 0:32Speaker 2: real truth, not the Sunday Show fake news truth. We'll
- 0:36Speaker 2: get to pathetic Little Colbert, his final week is here.
- 0:40Speaker 2: We'll get to twenty twenty eight. We'll get to the
- 0:44Speaker 2: Long Island Railroad strike. Of course, let's get to that
- 0:48Speaker 2: first Long Island Railroad on strike. Apparently they're back in
- 0:54Speaker 2: the negotiations. They had walked out, everybody had walked out,
- 0:58Speaker 2: but the MTAP people are back in there. MTA run
- 1:02Speaker 2: by Jano Lieber, who is just a pompous ass, very
- 1:06Speaker 2: very tough to get anything done with. That guy, just
- 1:08Speaker 2: an awful guy. He's the guy Hokele put in there.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Hokel of course, a total disaster, totally incapable of negotiating anything,
- 1:17Speaker 2: and it's caused nothing but headaches for hundreds of thousands
- 1:22Speaker 2: of people in Long Island who need to get into
- 1:23Speaker 2: the city. Now some will have to drive. There's these
- 1:26Speaker 2: stories like this poor guy who his son is graduating
- 1:32Speaker 2: and he was going to take the train in to
- 1:34Speaker 2: be at the graduation. Couldn't do that. He doesn't drive,
- 1:36Speaker 2: so he had to take an uber for two hundred
- 1:39Speaker 2: dollars to get to the graduation. So if you're coming
- 1:42Speaker 2: from Long Island or going there, there's going to be
- 1:43Speaker 2: a lot more traffic than usual, and there's always a
- 1:47Speaker 2: lot of traffic in Long Island, it will be even
- 1:48Speaker 2: worse because the trains are shut down. Now, Hokel does
- 1:55Speaker 2: what any good Democrat does when you've caused a major problem,
- 1:59Speaker 2: when you've sc root up everything, when it's total disaster,
- 2:02Speaker 2: what are you doing? Your a Democrat? You blame Donald Trump.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Whatever it is, it's Trump's fault.
- 2:07Speaker 3: This strike would not have been possible if the Trump
- 2:10Speaker 3: administration had not taken the highly unusual step last fall
- 2:14Speaker 3: of releasing labor unions for mediation. Unfortunately, for our commuters,
- 2:19Speaker 3: the direct consequence of this action is the strike we
- 2:22Speaker 3: have today Now.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Of course that's idiotic. It has nothing to do with that. Mediation.
- 2:28Speaker 2: You can't go to mediation means you got to negotiate yourself.
- 2:31Speaker 2: And she's totally incapable of negotiating. She doesn't know what
- 2:34Speaker 2: the hell she's doing. Jano Lieber is just a disaster.
- 2:38Speaker 2: So Trump responded to all of this, this stupid accusation
- 2:43Speaker 2: by saying, this is all your fault. You should have
- 2:45Speaker 2: had this settled before the strike even came. Why did
- 2:48Speaker 2: you wait till they're on strike. You should have settled
- 2:50Speaker 2: this long ago. And he said, if you want me
- 2:53Speaker 2: to come in and fix this for you, I will.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Of Course, he's a master negotiator with unions. He spent
- 2:58Speaker 2: his whole life negotiating with unions right here in New York.
- 3:02Speaker 2: That's what he's been doing for forty years. So he said,
- 3:05Speaker 2: over and over, you want me to come in and
- 3:07Speaker 2: settle this for you, I'll settle it for you. Just
- 3:09Speaker 2: ask me. I'll come negotiate it now. Of course she
- 3:12Speaker 2: can't do that because it would be humiliating for her.
- 3:15Speaker 2: So they're spending all kinds of money setting up buses
- 3:18Speaker 2: to bring people, and the buses that don't really bring
- 3:20Speaker 2: you to Manhattan, they bring you to the closest subway
- 3:23Speaker 2: stop in Queens, So if you're in Long Island you
- 3:25Speaker 2: could take these buses.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Starting at four am tomorrow, the MTA will deploy shuttle
- 3:30Speaker 3: buses to bring essential workers from across Long Island to
- 3:33Speaker 3: subway stations and Queens and those shuttle buses will be
- 3:36Speaker 3: standing by to bring those essential workers back home to
- 3:39Speaker 3: Long Island at the end of the day.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going of course, this is just ridiculous now
- 3:44Speaker 2: the MTA. Now, one reason the MTA is being really
- 3:48Speaker 2: strong and tough in this negotiation is this is coming
- 3:53Speaker 2: up next in a little while, is the subway workers.
- 3:57Speaker 2: That's the big strike if they go on strike. So
- 4:00Speaker 2: they're being very careful here both sides about what happens
- 4:03Speaker 2: here because this will set the template for everything else.
- 4:07Speaker 2: And that subway contract is the big one. That's a
- 4:09Speaker 2: lot of people, so they can there. Everybody's pushing to
- 4:12Speaker 2: get what they want here, to set the standard for
- 4:15Speaker 2: the subway contract. Now, a lot of people will pointed out,
- 4:20Speaker 2: if you got this this strike and everybody's going to
- 4:23Speaker 2: drive in, suspend the congestion pricing, just halt the congestion
- 4:28Speaker 2: pricing for a while. Now Hockel makes the idiotic statement,
- 4:32Speaker 2: nobody can figure out if you can't just shut it off,
- 4:34Speaker 2: and you can't just turn it on and turn it off,
- 4:38Speaker 2: which makes no sense at all. It's a whole electronic system.
- 4:42Speaker 2: You can just hit stop and then when the strike's ore,
- 4:44Speaker 2: where you can hit start. Obviously, obviously you can turn
- 4:47Speaker 2: it on and turn it off. How do you think
- 4:49Speaker 2: it got on? They turned it on, but Hochel a
- 4:52Speaker 2: total disaster.
- 4:53Speaker 3: I did not want to strike. The MTA did not
- 4:56Speaker 3: want to strike. The MTA has put fair offers on
- 4:59Speaker 3: the table, in fact, many of them.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not working now. Bruce Blakeman accord something Hochel.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Some theorized hoche might have done this deliberately to screw
- 5:12Speaker 2: up Nassau County, Suffolk County, that's Blakeman territory, maybe to
- 5:16Speaker 2: make all the voters mad. But I don't get that
- 5:19Speaker 2: at all. She's gonna make a mat at Hochel and Blakeman,
- 5:22Speaker 2: the voice of reason.
- 5:22Speaker 1: What we have here in New York State is a
- 5:25Speaker 1: complete failure of leadership. I want you to think about this.
- 5:30Speaker 1: This is the first strike of railroad workers in thirty
- 5:34Speaker 1: years both Republican and Democrat administrations had labor peace with
- 5:39Speaker 1: our workers.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Yeah, you get it done way ahead of time. Now
- 5:42Speaker 2: the problem is Hochel is just a bird brain, doesn't
- 5:46Speaker 2: know what the hell she's doing. Janno Lieber is not stupid,
- 5:49Speaker 2: but he's just again a papas ass, a very annoying guy.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Nobody can Nobody can deal with it. If Blakeman were there,
- 5:55Speaker 2: everything would have been different.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Kathy Hochel gave eight billion dollars of our time, pay
- 6:00Speaker 1: her money to legal migrants, but she doesn't have money
- 6:03Speaker 1: for our workers, the people who service the commuters of
- 6:06Speaker 1: the Long Island Railroad. So now we'll have three hundred
- 6:09Speaker 1: thousand plus people completely inconvenienced because of the incompetency of
- 6:15Speaker 1: Kathy Hokel.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point. You know, she keeps await
- 6:18Speaker 2: on the money. We don't have any money. Just gave
- 6:20Speaker 2: billions and billions and billions to illegals, not even citizens,
- 6:24Speaker 2: just illegals who broke in the country. Gave them a fortune.
- 6:27Speaker 2: So well, we'll get back to the strike now Texas, well,
- 6:32Speaker 2: we'll get to that later. But China, it was considered
- 6:37Speaker 2: by most experts I mean, real experts to be a
- 6:39Speaker 2: very successful trip on the part of Donald Trump. He
- 6:42Speaker 2: got along better with shijiping than anybody else ever has. Now,
- 6:47Speaker 2: if you watch the Sunday Shows, if you read the
- 6:49Speaker 2: New York Times, if you watch ms NOW, if you
- 6:51Speaker 2: watch CNN, it was a disaster. Trump caped in on everything.
- 6:55Speaker 2: He looked pathetic, he looked like a beggar. Yeah, none
- 6:58Speaker 2: of that's true. Every real expert says, they'll say that
- 7:01Speaker 2: they don't know if there were any specific actual returns
- 7:04Speaker 2: we'll get out of this. But it went very well. Now,
- 7:08Speaker 2: as far as you know, we're just over there hat
- 7:11Speaker 2: in hand, on our knees, begging. It's just the opposite.
- 7:14Speaker 2: The actual truth is. The actual truth is our economy
- 7:19Speaker 2: is seven times bigger than China's. Our economy is really strong.
- 7:24Speaker 2: That's why you see the stock markets soaring. China's economy
- 7:27Speaker 2: is on a cliff. It's just teetering. Same thing happened
- 7:30Speaker 2: in Japan years ago. Remember Japan had a boom like
- 7:34Speaker 2: you've never seen. I mean, the economy was unbelievable. Remember
- 7:37Speaker 2: they came to this back in the eighties. It came
- 7:39Speaker 2: to New York and they had so much money. They
- 7:40Speaker 2: were buying up everything. Remember back then, the Japanese bought
- 7:43Speaker 2: Rockefeller Center, the Japanese bought this lamb. Everything in the
- 7:46Speaker 2: world was being bought by the Japanese. Well, it took
- 7:50Speaker 2: off so fast that economy that it then went over
- 7:52Speaker 2: the cliff and crashed. China is getting near that point now.
- 7:56Speaker 2: They're better at managing it because they're communists. They can
- 7:59Speaker 2: totally control the economy. But the last fifteen years have
- 8:02Speaker 2: been kind of rough for the Chinese economy. They've needed
- 8:06Speaker 2: to fix their economy. They need to adjust their whole
- 8:09Speaker 2: economic model. They cut back on the exporting. They're going
- 8:12Speaker 2: to have to go back to that. So it's not
- 8:14Speaker 2: a strong economy right now. We did no. It's an
- 8:20Speaker 2: interesting thing. You know, when you go over there, you
- 8:23Speaker 2: can't bring your phone, you can't bring your computer, you
- 8:25Speaker 2: can't bring your tablet, you can't bring any devices because
- 8:29Speaker 2: the Chinese will hack into them, spy on everything, suck
- 8:32Speaker 2: all the data out of your stuff. They will then
- 8:35Speaker 2: embed the most dangerous software in the world into your phone.
- 8:38Speaker 2: So everybody went on that trip, the president, the cabinet,
- 8:42Speaker 2: the staff, the reporters, everybody, all the guests on the plane.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Everybody went on an Air Force one had to leave
- 8:48Speaker 2: all their devices at home and they had to get
- 8:51Speaker 2: burner phones and burner tablets and burner computers to take
- 8:55Speaker 2: over there, which they did. The trip was over after
- 8:59Speaker 2: a couple of days, they headed back to Air Force
- 9:02Speaker 2: One to get on the plane. Before they get on
- 9:04Speaker 2: the plane, there's big, big garbage cans there, big garbage.
- 9:09Speaker 2: They have to throw all the devices into the garbage cans,
- 9:12Speaker 2: leave them in China. Can't bring them back because even
- 9:15Speaker 2: those probably got embedded with all kinds of dangerous software.
- 9:18Speaker 2: In fact, take a look at my Instagram. There's a
- 9:21Speaker 2: picture of the president and everybody throwing their phones into
- 9:24Speaker 2: this big garbage can on the runway. Just go to
- 9:28Speaker 2: Mark Simone NYC at Instagram. It's a great picture disposing
- 9:32Speaker 2: of all these burner phones. So now, if you watch
- 9:38Speaker 2: the pictures, she did things during the summit, like he
- 9:42Speaker 2: had Trump in a low chair. He put himself in
- 9:44Speaker 2: a high chair so he looked taller. Little psychological things.
- 9:48Speaker 2: But a lot of people took that as indication of
- 9:51Speaker 2: real insecurity on she's part, that he had a resort
- 9:54Speaker 2: to all that stupid stuff. Now, there were some things
- 9:56Speaker 2: we agreed on. You know, South Korea has the best
- 10:01Speaker 2: shipbuilding yards of anybody. They're actually way ahead of us
- 10:04Speaker 2: in shipbuilding. So it was talk about us starting to
- 10:08Speaker 2: build some of our warships in those South Korean shipyards. Now,
- 10:11Speaker 2: one of the reasons there's so much better Besides, they're
- 10:14Speaker 2: just ahead of us. Where they're located is right in
- 10:17Speaker 2: the middle of the supply chain, so everything you need
- 10:20Speaker 2: is right there. You don't have to wait for long deliveries.
- 10:22Speaker 2: It doesn't cost as much to get it delivered. The
- 10:25Speaker 2: infrastructure is much more automated. They can produce massive cargo
- 10:29Speaker 2: ships faster, more efficiently. So we agreed to start building
- 10:33Speaker 2: some of our big ships and our naval ships over
- 10:36Speaker 2: there in South Korea. Now, she offered to help in
- 10:40Speaker 2: Iran whatever we needed, he would help us with Iran.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Now Trump actually turned him down. You don't want to
- 10:47Speaker 2: owe she a favor. But Trump explained that.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Any fun commitments to pressure on the right hands to
- 10:55Speaker 1: reopen the straightifold moves.
- 10:59Speaker 3: I'm not asking.
- 11:01Speaker 2: This one you ask for you have to do favors
- 11:03Speaker 2: in return. We don't need favors.
- 11:05Speaker 3: If you ristic that he will put pressure, then he
- 11:07Speaker 3: will try and Kevin say and ask you.
- 11:09Speaker 1: To put pressure because I don't need favors.
- 11:13Speaker 2: I think he will.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I think automatically he'd like to see it opened up.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always great to do the interview right by
- 11:19Speaker 2: the engine of the plane, so I can't hear a thing. Now.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Certain things are going on with Iran. We've got things
- 11:25Speaker 2: we've been doing in them quietly. For instance, Scott Bessett,
- 11:28Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary, seized five hundred million of their crypto over
- 11:34Speaker 2: the last few days. We've taken five hundred million from
- 11:37Speaker 2: them in crypto. Now we're not taking it. It will
- 11:40Speaker 2: go into a fund, and when this is all over,
- 11:43Speaker 2: it will be returned directly to the Iranian people, not
- 11:46Speaker 2: this corrupt regime, but it will go to the good
- 11:50Speaker 2: people to take over. After it's all over, we will
- 11:53Speaker 2: shut down most of their money, the banks, the will
- 11:55Speaker 2: freeze all their funds everywhere. The other thing is we'll
- 11:59Speaker 2: probably go back to combat. Maybe this week you may
- 12:05Speaker 2: see a resumption of bombing. There may be more couple
- 12:08Speaker 2: of things we want to do. Target wise. They do
- 12:11Speaker 2: have railroads that can carry the oil to the coast,
- 12:15Speaker 2: and that oil can be then sent to China. It's
- 12:18Speaker 2: not as good as the big cargo tankers because if
- 12:22Speaker 2: you do it by rail, it's very, very tiny the
- 12:25Speaker 2: quantity you can move. So to move the oil by
- 12:28Speaker 2: rail means a lot less oil, a lot less revenue.
- 12:32Speaker 2: But we will probably bomb those railroads and those tracks
- 12:35Speaker 2: and take those out, make sure they're completely cut off.
- 12:38Speaker 2: China gets fifty percent of its oil from Iran, so
- 12:42Speaker 2: we'll shut down the little that remains of that. Also,
- 12:46Speaker 2: there'll be a lot of taken out of a lot
- 12:48Speaker 2: of targets, a lot of infrastructure, a lot of stuff,
- 12:50Speaker 2: a lot of bombing, and then I don't know about
- 12:52Speaker 2: this is on the table. If they get real serious,
- 12:55Speaker 2: they will go in and start to get the nuclear dust,
- 12:59Speaker 2: start to move it. That would require some ground troops,
- 13:02Speaker 2: but we've already done this before in Iran. In the
- 13:04Speaker 2: last two months, we've sent ground troops in twice. Those
- 13:09Speaker 2: two rescue operations where we had to rescue the crew
- 13:13Speaker 2: members of the aircraft twice, we've sent in ground troops.
- 13:16Speaker 2: So you may see that again they will come in.
- 13:19Speaker 2: We have all kinds of techniques and specialists who know
- 13:22Speaker 2: how to go in, find nuclear material and remove it.
- 13:26Speaker 2: We did that in Libya years ago. You remember when
- 13:28Speaker 2: Kadafi finally gave up and told us we could take
- 13:31Speaker 2: all the nuclear material. We had expert forces that went
- 13:35Speaker 2: in there real quick, found the stuff, got it out.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Some of it is deeply buried. Even those nuclear reactors
- 13:43Speaker 2: we took out last year in that raid, Now that's
- 13:47Speaker 2: buried under all that rubble. So I'll take a lot
- 13:49Speaker 2: of engineering, but they'll start by getting the easy stuff
- 13:52Speaker 2: out first. We'll be taking a lot of nuclear material. Hey,
- 13:55Speaker 2: so we got a lot to get to coming up.
- 14:00Speaker 2: The leader of climate change, you know, the ones that
- 14:04Speaker 2: really put out that the whole world, we're all going
- 14:07Speaker 2: to die, climate change is going to wipe out the plant.
- 14:10Speaker 2: All of that. They're now admitting it was the UN
- 14:13Speaker 2: Climate Committee really was the leadership of all this. They
- 14:16Speaker 2: are now admitting. They are now admitting that that scenario
- 14:21Speaker 2: is wrong, that it's simply not true. Nothing like that
- 14:24Speaker 2: is going to happen. We'll get into it in detail
- 14:27Speaker 2: in the in the next hour. We've got a lot
- 14:29Speaker 2: to get to. Michael Goodwin. In a few moments, we'll
- 14:32Speaker 2: take some calls. Next eight hundred three two one zero
- 14:36Speaker 2: seven ten is the number eight hundred three two one
- 14:40Speaker 2: zero seven ten,
