  Speaker 1: Yeah, you see you guys, try to cover that up,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: all right, go ahead, we don't give it.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: But and one time I lived in Dallas, Texas. If
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: you okay, okay, uh and worked for the transit agency there.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: And I met Scott when I was a PR guy
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: and he was interviewing me for some.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Stuff we met.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: I just want to say, just make an observation.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Who did you meet Scott Besson, Scott Pelly? Oh, Scott Pelly, Okay.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when he was with w F A A. And
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: you know something happened. I mean they used several reporters
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: from there were up and went to d C in
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: various jobs. And it seems like they and we stayed
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: in touch over time, but not not with Scott but others.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: But it seems like something happens when they go to
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: d C. They just totally lose their minds because in
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: journalism school, I started out as a reporter and they
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: told you, you know, you're just to get both sides
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: of the story and what the public or the reader
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: decide what the truth is. And it's like they forget
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: that when they go to d C. I don't know
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: what happens they go national.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Just an observation, Well, Ron, great, call call us again sometime. Yeah,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Well they become these left wing CBS people and then
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that's bad enough.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: But.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Then Trump comes along and he just sets them off.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It's Trump the arrangement syndrome. They just go They feel
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that he is so evil that they have to take
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the gloves off and do whatever they have to do
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to get this guy. Mind me to talk about that later.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: How this CBS was always a little left wing, but
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: what happened it was really Dan rather that changed everything. Well,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that coming up. Let's go to Mara
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in Nevada. Mara, how you doing so good?
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Chile? Vincent Mark Trump has been a brilliant negotiator most
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: of his life, but he's been negotiating with brick and mortar.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Brick and mortar does not bleed, Brick and mortar does
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: not die. He's not a wartime president. He doesn't know
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: how to go in and have innocent people killed. He
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: can't do it marketing right, Well, I think.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: You're getting a little a little over the top there
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: with all of that. Now, listen, he's been pretty good
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: at a wartime president, and he's been pretty good at
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: military stuff. You have a good point in that. All
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: his life he's a brilliant negotiator, but he's been negotiating
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: with business people, with real estate developers, with unions. It's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: business he's never had to negotiate with fanatical lunatics that
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: aren't in a business, so that you're right, that's a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: little different. But he'll figure it out. Fsn't already. Let's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: go to Rich Myrtle Beach, Rich, how you doing.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Bakino, Matt. He's actually got a point there. I
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: wasn't going to bring this up. But you know, just
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: like you said, Trump could be too nice sometimes, like
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: he didn't go after Hillary once he got elected when
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: he really should have gone after that foundation. But you
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: know the point you're making about CBS. You know, I
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: haven't watched anything unless it's a major sporting event. It's
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: probably been fifteen twenty twenty five years since I've watched
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: anything on a lamestream media network CBS, NBC, ABC, There's
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: absolutely nothing to watch. The sitcoms to horrible zealing to
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: watch in those stations unless it's an actual major sporting event.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Let me think, is there anything I watch on network TV?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I mean I watched the news, watch, I watched the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Sunday shows. I don't know why nobody else does.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know why you're doing. I still love the
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: McLaughlin group in the old days. I used to love
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: John McLaughlin.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'll tell you the only thing I watched Blue Bloods.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: That was the one thing I watched, and now I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: watch Boston Blue. It's not the same. But that's.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Like you said, Mark, is no reason to watch sixty
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: minutes anymore. There's no reason to watch anything on network
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: TV with ten million channels on direct TV, Dish, or
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: even on cable.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you're right, that's a very good point. Let's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: go to George in Connecticut. George, how you doing.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I am doing very well. Thank you for taking my call.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I wanted to share something that my wife shared with
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: me just last night that gave a different perspective on
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: why Trump is not quote finishing the job. And I
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: think one of the reasons is that Trump wants to
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: get a coalition in the Gulf countries to come together
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and enjoy the Abraham Accords, and the best way to
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: do that is by allowing what's going on over there
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: so that it motivates Kuwait, buff Rain, all these other
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: ghost hunters. They've been joined the thing and.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: They've been working on Apparently they had Kuwait and Cutter
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: ready to go. This is about two three weeks ago
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and then they all backed out at the last minute.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But he's also waiting because this is a good situation
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: for us. It's totally totally draining the economy, the finances,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: everything in Iran. So the longer we wait, the more
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it hurts them. But anytime we want, we can finish it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It provides additional motivation for them to join the Abraham Accords.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And I think, by the way, that also is one
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of the reasons why he was mad at bebe Nut
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and Yahoo by getting into Lebanon, and not just the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: hes blogos.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, but that's been taken out of context, that whole
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, he did yell at he's cursey h And
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: as he pointed out, he does that all the time
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: with everybody. You know, he's using the effort. Are you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: effing crazy? What the f is wrong? That's normal conversation.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: He does that all the time with everybody, and every
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: president does behind the scenes. In fact, there was a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: famous Netnall who was in the Oval office and Clinton
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: told him off, cursing and screaming right in front of everybody.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It happens all the time. Hey, when we come back,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we hope the brilliant Steve Moore will be with us
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: next the great economists. We'll talk to him in a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: moment on seven to ten wor
