  Speaker 1: Career always a comedian it was pat Henry for millions

  Speaker 1: of years a couple of decades, and then uh was
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: his name. After pat Henry was going, It was Jackie

  Speaker 1: who is a great guy, the nicest guy in the world.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: He maybe that may not be the top comedian of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the world, but he's a nice guy and a wife. Yeah,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: he's a.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Good would only be Vegas would have been No. Whenever
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: he toured, he'd bring those guys along.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: No, you tour all over the world with him, and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the wife loved Tom Dreesen. That's one reason Sinatra kept him.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: He kept the wife busy. And then uh, he did
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: have a singer for a little while. There was a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: cash crunch at one time, and Sinatra didn't have the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: private jets. So you remember for a year or two,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Pia Zadora was the opening act and that was Oh
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I got that was because the has been lent two
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: private jets to the tour. So, but it's a good question.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Let's go to Rich and Myrtle Beach. Rich,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Hey? Thanks? Speaking of Sinatra, My wife and I sware him.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I guess was maybe your early nineties late eighties. He
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: was at Jones Beach a couple of times. He had
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Don Rickles open up for him several times.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Well, well, actually that that wasn't an opening act. Don
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Rickles was co builled with him. They were both on
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the bill together.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: That was a oh, but that was a couple of
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: great shows that Joe's beacher. Yeah, hey, can this guy
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: that Munbani is targeting? Can he sue Mandanni personally?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: He could, but that's not you know, you're worth fifty billion,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: You're going to sue this little weasel.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: No, you don't have to sue, just taking your money
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and running. Yeah, yeah, I.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Mean if you sued, what would you get money? I mean,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: he doesn't need the money, but you just pick up the.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: One last thing mark, you know. Do we know how
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: much Mumdannie was worth when he came into office? Were
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: we going to keep track of how he's going to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: of like quadruple his worth when he leaves office. Just
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: like all these other cyclists.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: He's from a very wealthy family. He's well off. He
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't need any money, and I don't think you have
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to worry about him profiting in office. He's not that bright.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think you could figure out how to do it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Thanks Mark.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: He's probably the only politician will be worth less money
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: when he leaves. Let's go to Neil in Brooklyn. Neil,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: how you doing all right?
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Mark. Someone brought up Gary Content the other day. Yeah,
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: and nine to eleven kept him out at the newspapers.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Also, Dan Radab benefited because there was a count going
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: on how many knights in a row. Dan rather would
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: not mention the story, and one of the reasons was
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: his daughter worked for Gary Content, So it's nine to
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: eleven saved him too in a way.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Good point. Yeah, it was back in
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: two thousand and one. This would have been in the summer.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: There was two major scandals. One was Gary Content, who
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: he was a congressman, having an affair with a young
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: intern was the name Chandra Levy. They were having an
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: affair and then she turned up dead in a field
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: near his house, so he was the chief suspect. It
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: turned out wasn't the guy that did it. Somebody else
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: did it. But he was all over the news twenty
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: four to seven. It was the biggest story. He was
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the worst scandal imaginable, it would
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: never go away. Then nine to eleven happened and he
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: was never mentioned again. So as awful as nine to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: eleven was for this guy, it was a dream come
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: true that it got him out of the news. But
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: there were three scandals go There was do you remember there?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: It was a Little League Baseball World Championship and one
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of the players who was supposed to be fourteen turned
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: out he was like twenty three. That was another big
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: scandal got wiped out by nine to eleven, and I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: forgot about that Dan Rather thing. You know, he was
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: really the father of modern day fake news with the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: fake George Bush going a Wall story, and yeah, he
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: had a connection to Gary Condent. It was the biggest
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: story in the news, and he wouldn't mention it on
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the news. He wouldn't even do the story. So and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: everybody started to notice and he was getting a lot
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of talk. Again, nine to eleven erased the whole thing. Hey,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: when we come back, the brilliant economist, the best business writer,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: John Carney, he'll be with us next. We'll talk about
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the FED, we'll talk about Iran, We'll get to Ken
• 5:19
