  Speaker 1: stuff coming out about that little worm, doctor Fauci. If
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you're a tea drinker, you better listen to something I
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: gotta tell you coming up. And of course we'll get
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to crazy Mom Donnie and all of his silly theatrics
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and all of that. Just ahead, we'll get to Maine
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: they got a new candidate. And why am I hearing
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: about football in the news. It's really a sign that
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: summer is over. Training camp jets, training camp giants, trains.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Hate to say it, it's almost August, summer, just about it. No,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: normally you can't believe the summer is over. But this
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: was not the most enjoyable summer. You had two vicious
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: heat waves, you had smog and whatever the hell that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: was from Canada all over the place for about five days.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: But perfect weekend. Hey, the White House correspondents dinner. Well, now,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the President is the most experienced comedian and roaster of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: anybody that's ever been in the White House. You have
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: presidents with a good sense of humor. Reagan had a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: good sense of humor. George W. Bush did, Bill Clinton
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a sense of humor, a good
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: sense of humor, but he wasn't a great joke teller.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: George W.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Was.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Reagan obviously was a professional. But Trump is the only
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: one that comes to the White House with tremendous experience
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: doing roasts through the years. He probably did twenty five
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: or thirty Friars Club roast. Those were That's like the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: major leagues of roasting. I don't mean the ones you
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: see on TV. I mean the ones in private in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the ballroom. Those are the top roasts of the world.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: He literally twenty five or thirty of them, and that
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: is like the all star game of comedians and roasters.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: And he's he held his own there. And then of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: course there were the TV roasts. He did a bunch
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of those Comedy Central, and there were a million private
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: roasts that were done. People throw a roaster. I am
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: seen a lot of them through the years. In the nineties,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of Donald Trump roasts and he'd get roasted,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: but then he'd have to get up and do a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: big ten minute roasting response. So he's the most experienced
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: roaster ever as president. But somehow he wasn't great Saturday Night. Now.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: From what I hear in the original White House Correspondence
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: dinner a couple of months ago, he had put together
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the greatest roast ever of all the correspondents and all
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: this stuff. It was unbelievable. It was rough and tough,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: but unbelievab. Well, that speech got thrown Outpparently they decided
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be appropriate to do it now after the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: violence that took place at the first White House Correspondence
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: in it, so they got a new one. Now, this
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: one wasn't very well written. I have a feeling it
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was like Stephen Miller and a couple others because many
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of those jokes are from old nineteen sixties joke books.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So it wasn't a great roast. But I mean, it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was okay, it was okay. It wasn't bad. He made
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: fun of a lot of things.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: But just like my presidency, the second time is always better.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It's always better, And the third time will be better.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Yet I'm not I'm only kiddy.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, it was just mild. It wasn't And
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of course he made fun of is this some more?
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Everyone's looking really good tonight? And I know it was
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: not easy finding shoes to go along with your bulletproof vests,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: which many people didn't want to wear because they'd rather die.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: They'd look twenty pounds heavier.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Do you know that?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, it was okay, but it wasn't great. It wasn't
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: up to his usual skills. And he did make fun
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of Caitlin Collins, that CNN woman who always never smiles,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: looks miserable, and he made fun of im trying to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: remember who else? A bunch of press people made fun
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of the journalists. Now that's normal, every president does that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: But this is Trump. So look at the response. Every
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: president has done this. In fact, what Trump did was
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: so mild compared to what other presidents have done. The
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Daily Beast Trump savaged people. In fact, there was so bad.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: People are calling for this to never happen again. They
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: wey're actually talking about this. Major major New York Times
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: writer now saying calling on journalists to rethink this annual
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: White House Correspondent's dinner. Trump went off on he made
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: fun of a baker, the White House Times correspondent, Maggie Haberman.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: They call it sick and deranged. They are now calling
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: on the press to not do these dinners anymore. Now,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: if you go back and watch the old ones, they
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: were vicious, vicious. This one what I think it was
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Wanda Sykes. She's making fun of Rush Limb and she said,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I hope your kidneys fail. And you see Obama sitting
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: next to her on the day is laughing. I mean,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: this is kind of stuff they did back then that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: was perfectly fine. But as soon as Trump makes jokes
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: about them, they're now calling for the whole dinner to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: be canceled and never happen again. But the Daily Beast
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: is a very left wing publication, He said, Trump struggled
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to keep his eyes open at the White House dinner.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Sleepy Trump couldn't stay awake. None of this is to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: sometimes he did close his eyes, but he always does that.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: He's been doing that for forty years. Why didn't Milania
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: seriously skip the White House Correspondence dinner? Word is she
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: knows she's a liability? How is she a liability? The
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: most beautiful first lady ever. She skips it because she
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: has no interest in this crap, and she has no
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: interest in trying to be nice to these reporters. Part
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of the deal is when you go there, you got
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to get there and there's a big thing backstage where
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the deis meets, and you gotta shake hands with everybody
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and smile. These are people who want to kill you,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that hate you, and you got to be nice to them.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: She has no use for that. She's not a professional politician.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: They do the same thing at mar A Lago. Why
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: isn't she at dinner with him? She can't stand the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: crowd there. You know that whole you go to mar
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: A Lago. To get to his table, he's got to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: walk through four hundred of those women. How are you?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You're just driving crazy. She has no interest in that.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: They're given out awards. One of the reasons Zeo has
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: had his eyes closed. They have such egos, these uh
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: press people, So for like three four hours, they give
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: awards to themselves. It's an award for this award, for that,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: another award, of this award to that award. It just
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: keep giving awards. One of them was to this New
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: York Times group no excuse me, the Wall Street Journal
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: group that did that Epstein story that turned out they
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: have a lot of fake stuff in it. They had
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a fake letter from Trump with a fake drawing, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: if remember all that stupid to give an award to that,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So he had to sit through all of that. They
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: just patted themselves on the back for a couple of hours.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: So it's and also it was a scaled down dinner.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It was much smaller than the original and all the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: previous White House Correspondent dinners held at the Hilton because
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that has the biggest ballroom you can put twenty five
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: hundred people in there. And they moved it for security
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: reasons after that shooting there. It's pretty clear security problems
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: at that Hilton. So they moved it to what's called
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the Waldorf Astoria in Washington. It's actually the Trump Hotel, dutiful,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: magnificent hotel Trump built before it. Becoming president. He realized Washington,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: d C. Did not have one great hotel. They have
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: some stately old hotels like the Willard and you know
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a couple of those, but they're old, they're cute to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: stay in, but they don't have big ballrooms, and the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Hilton has a big ballroom, but it's not the classiest place.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So he decided to build an absolute five star, magnificent hotel,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and he did the Trump Hotel. And you remember in
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: his first term, it was like the meeting place. Besides
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the massive ballroom, there was a huge lobby with a restaurant,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and that's where everybody would hang out looking to meet everybody.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: So he built it. It was incredible. After the first term,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: he sold it. Waldorf bought it for a fortune. Trump
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: made a lot of money on that and it's now
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: called the Waldorf Astoria. So he loved the hotel. He
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: talked about he talked about what a great hotel it was.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Let me say this, but it's great to be back
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: at a place that I know very well because they
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: built it. And I'm very proud of it because I
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: built it for two point nine billion dollars less than
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve Building, which.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Is a lot smaller by the way.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, figure that one out, This tiny, crappy fed building
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: three billion. He built the most magnificent hotel ever in Washington,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: massive hotel eight hundred million. What a difference. So let's see,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: here's media. That's another real left wing and I'm going
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: after him going crazy. Hey, yesterday on truth Social he
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: put up a very funny picture of the US Canada
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: border with a wall. But it's not really a wall.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: If you look, it's one big long air conditioning filter. Now,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: that's pretty cute. That's pretty funny. After that filthy air
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: came here, here's the here's the here's the fake news.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Trump posts bonkers AI image of Canada bonkers. It was
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: actually pretty cute and pretty funny. I don't know who
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: could think that was bonkers. Hey, Iran, we're in a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: pause right now. If you're a Democrat, you might want
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to turn off the radio for a second. If you're
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a Democrat, we have bad news. Let me just check.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Let me get an update here. Price of oil is dropping,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: really dropping. Price of oil way down over the weekend.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: It's down another six dollars right now. Price of oil dropping. Now,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: remember if we go back to war when we did
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the second time recently, oil did not spike up as
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: much as the first time, so it'll spike up even
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: less the third time. So price of oil doing very well. Hey,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: crazy mom, Donnie, this I mean, he's clearly anti Semitic.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: He's clearly it's not just anti Semitic, he's clearly obsessed
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: with it, and he can't stop talking about it. Now
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: anti Semitic, well, let's they'll say, well, I'm rather than
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: just anti Israel, I'm anti Well that's the anti Semitic.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: It's just a it's a code way of saying anti semitic.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Mamdannie trying to talk his way out of that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: I want to make very clear that my criticisms of
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: prime Minist Revengement met Now are of specifically prime Minist
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: Revengement Now, and any criticisms of any foreign state should
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: never be confused for criticisms of a people or of
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: a faith. And my responsibility as the mayor of the
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: city is to every New Yorker, no matter their faith,
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: their background, or frankly their politics.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's why you say the anti semis and Mandannie,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, all these people, they're kind of they're really
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: white supremacists because if you study white supremacists, one of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: their core core core components is anti Semitism. So he
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: really isn't the white supremacist the category here because anti
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Semitism big part of white supremacy. So they'll say, well,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm just anti Israel. Nobody's buying it for a second.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: There's no tolerance for anti Semitism in this city. We
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: have to root out anti semitism from across the five boroughs,
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: and that's because this is a city that is one
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: that has no room for hate or bigotry of any kind.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: And when we make criticisms of a nation state or policies,
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: we have to remember that those are criticisms of exactly that,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: never of a people, never.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Of a faith. Now you're saying, what, Bob, that sounds
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: pretty good. What's wrong with that? Well, what's wrong with
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that is after his arrest NET and Yahoo crap, we
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: had a horrible, horrible anti Semitic attack on the Upper
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: West Side with a guy stabbing somebody with a yamaka,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and he's just horrible hate crime. So he got a
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: lot of flack over the weekend. So that's why he
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: said what you just heard. That's after two days of
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: three days of real flack. He's trying to fight back
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: on that, but he's got a real problem and this
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: arrest NET and Yahoo thing, which was just preposterous. Net
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Nyahu's been speaking out about it now.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: I speak to Jewish Americans in New York and they're
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: afraid right now. And I don't against occidental that after
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: he made this hate speech against Israel and against me,
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: the next day, a Jewish stabbed coming out of a synagogue,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: I think, and with a cry of allah z aqaba
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: allah akaba, and you know what that means.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: So that's why mom, Donnie's suddenly pretending he's against anti Semitism,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: which he's not. Clearly.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: You know who.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Described him in the Socialists, these democratic Socialists. Unit's a
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: really smart guy, Scott Bessent, brilliant guy. But listen him
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: explain it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: In New York, the current mayor rose to power by
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: repackaging failed ideals of the past as a moral cause
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: of the future. But in Georgia, you know, the beneath
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: that youthful veneer was the oldest impulse in politics, which
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: is to concentrate power and then call it compassion.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think now that's what it's really about. Concentrate power.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: That's why government supermarkets, that's why government housing, that's why
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: government welfare, that's why it's a way of getting you
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: totally dependent on them, dramatically increasing their power over your life.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: That's what it really is, concentrating power and getting more control. Hey,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: big announcement. Now listen to this big announcement. Starting next week,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: this show. No, it's not been canceled. This show will
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: expand we're going to add an hour. Instead of ten
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to noon, it will be nine to noon every day,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: we'll start at nine o'clock. Now you're saying, wow, that's great,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: what a reward. No, this means I got to get
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: up an hour earlier. Believe me, it wasn't my idea.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: But nine to noon. Starting Monday, a week from today,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the show will be nine to noon. You'll get an
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: extra ho so remember to tune in nine. Again, it
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't my idea. There's been a push for this for years,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: which I've been resisting, but everybody persuaded me it's the
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: right thing to do. For one reason is, as you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: we got a lot of commercials. In fact, sometimes you
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: notice those commercial breaks get a little too long. They
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: get to be five, six, seven minutes that we have
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to go down and yell at the sales department, No
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: long break, keep it short. But there's lots and lots
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and lots of advertisers. See advertisers do very well on
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: this show, so we got plenty that we can't even
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: get on. They're like waiting to get on. So that's
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: why we want to add an hour. That's one big reason.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: That way we can get the rest of those advertisers
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in an hour, gives us more time for all that. Also,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: listeners have wanted we've been hearing that a lot. Also,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: every other show in the station is three hours, so
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: this makes it a little more uniform. And anyway, the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: demand was overwhelming, and so we're going to do it
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: starting a week from today. Starting next Monday, the show
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: will be nine to noon every day. If you're a
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: podcast listener, you'll get an extra hour of podcast to
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: listen to every day. So we'll take some calls next.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Let me know what you think. I'll take some calls next.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
