• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the way you talk.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: Oh well, I'm gonna get this news across to you
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: if you don't already know it. When in twenty eighteen,
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: Queen Elizabeth, before she died, conferred a royal title on Bloomberg.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: This was KB E Knight of the British Empire.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Yes he has.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: They do realize this is not breaking news.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Well you didn't mention it when you were talking about Bloomberg.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: You don't really need to mention that.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: He entertained his master, the King.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: There's about two thousand people that have been knighted. You
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: can be. You start as a member of the British
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Empire and MB. Then you become a cbe a commander,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and then you become this guy.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: This guy is a KB and it is that's the
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: highest three levels. The queen converted on him. Yes, the
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: First Amendment of the US Constitution states no royal titles.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we know all this.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: He brought it up. A lot of people don't know it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's not that urgent. Whenever you start with
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you know, in twenty eighteen, it's not breaking news. Now
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you actually you know, you get there's actually four levels.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But like, for instance, if you were the Beatles at
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the height of their fame, they were knighted. Like you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: go right to level one Beatles, you're really big, you're knighted.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: They become knights. But Tula Clark got an MBE. That's
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: like a notch down. That's the British Empire. She may
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: have been elevated since then, but it depends. Hey, speaking
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of the Beatles, big in Europe. But then it came
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and did the Sullivan Show, that famous Sunday night, and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: like I it was eighty million people watched and the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: next day they you know, that was it. They took
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: America by some They were on the Ed Sullivan Show.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Everybody in America saw them. Now, think about this, if
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: they came over here today, what would they do? Where
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: would they go? There's no variety shows in prime time?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: They could go on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: That's about nine hundred thousand people. It's not eighty million.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: They could go on Kimmel Fallon Colbert, they could go
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: on every night for a week and they'd reach about
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: maybe three million people. That's about it. There's no where
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: if they came to America. There's no where you could
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: go to do that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: The closest you could get to that today, believe or now,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: it's iHeart. When was the last time we did this.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: We've done it once in a while. Once in iHeart
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: will do a special thing where all like one thousand
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: radio stations will play the same thing at the same
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: moment at one thirty, like eight thirty in the morning.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: We did it a few years ago. Was it for
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the new Billy Joel record. No, it's for something some
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: new recording had come out something, so on every iHeart
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: station in America all at once. It got played at
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: eight thirty in the morning, and I think with that,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: like sixty seventy million people heard it. But outside of that,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you can't reach that kind of an audience anymore. Let's
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing good?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Morning, Mark. Yes, Mike, it's funny you should play the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Beatles because I was going to reference them in my
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: comments about mom Donnie and that being that he's one
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of those dorks who comes up with the most obscure
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: trivial nobody cares about fact and states it and people
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: he thinks people are going to walk away and go
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: that guy's a genius. And I was going to the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: reference the Beatles reference was going to be, it's like
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: those people you'll meet at a Beatles convention and they
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: have to be the star of the convention. You know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: we know how eight toes on one foot, you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: in one of those things like go, okay, I guess
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: you're the king. Yeah, there are guys and then.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they do that with every artist. It's fanatics for
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: every artist. But that's a good point. Nope, you're still there.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yes, And so it shows you what a
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: lightweight Mondani really is, because you know, it's like that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: that we know about giving back the diamond that the
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: British soul from India. Please nobody cares, well, the half
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of Indians don't care.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, what happens is Mondannie's a very highly educated
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: ivy League, went to the finest schools, the finest ivy league.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And that's what happens when you go to those things
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: where you're one of those professors. You know all kinds
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of useless knowledge about nothing that you can't make a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: diamond in the real world. But they spew it all
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the time, like they know about this diamond from seventeen
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: eighty two that nobody, I mean, they just know all
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: this stuff. Meantime, he becomes mayor of New York, has
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: no clue how to run a city, no clue how
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to build a grocery store, a grocery store because about
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: as low as one million, ald spends a lot of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: money when they come to New York, they spend three
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: million for each grocery store. He's spending thirty million. It's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: now weeks later, and he still hasn't figured out it's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: like ten times more than supposed to cost. Hasn't figured
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it out, doesn't know what to do about it. Let's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: go to kenon Brooklyn, Ken, how you doing okay?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Mark, Good to hear from you. Good to talk to
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: you again. Mark. I'm confused about this correspondence dinner attempt
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: on the President. Two things first, I'm watching this footage
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: right now of this this guy run past like eight
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Secret Service agents. Not only did they all freeze, but
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: the one he was closest to backed up and didn't
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: proceed forward. It's the weirdest thing. And then why I
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: don't understand when they get all these the FBI director
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: and the new Attorney General, they're all like they're at
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: the oscars congratulating everybody, what a good job. I don't
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: even get that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Well, the problem is the setup outside. There's different divisions,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the Secret Service, that's the uniform division that runs that outside.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to set up a zigzag. The problem is
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they didn't do that, so it was a straight line
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: all the way down that corridor. But you're supposed to.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: You know, when you go somewhere and you have to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: turn this way, there's fences, and then when you get
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: there down you have to turn around and go this way.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Then you got to turn around and go back this way.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You keep turning around. It's a zigzag. The reason they
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: do that is so you can't get up any speed,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Like the road that leads to the military base entrance
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: is always a zigzag. If it were a straight line,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you could get up so much speed, so that's the problem.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: They forgot to set up the zigzag properly with the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: fencing and it was just a straight hallway, so the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: guy was able to get up a lot of speed running.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: A lot of mistakes were made there and that a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: big one. And had they've had that zigzag, he wouldn't
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: have been running. They would have stopped him about fifty
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: feet earlier. Well, when we come back, the great economist
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Steed Moore will be with us next lots to talk
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to him about coming up on seven and ten. W
• 7:01
