  Speaker 1: Oh no, I was in radio for twenty years and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I worked at ESPN, So, like you, I met a
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: lot of famous personages and I had some interesting stories.
• 1:53

  Speaker 1: friends and I got good feedback. So now I'm uploading

  Speaker 1: farm substack.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Well, as long as it's doing well, that's important. Where'd
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: you drive Bruce Springsteen to.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: A record store in Rochester? I met him at the pool.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: He asked if there was a record store around. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: knew there was a record store, he said, and thank you.
• 2:52

• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I'll take a ride. Put him in the car draw

• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want, as long as you keep winning.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: We have a high roller audience and they do spend
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of money on charity.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I would have thought that I, with a lot of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: people would dance to this.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So anyway, IV will be with us throughout the hour.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: We'll get back to IRV and to jump in if
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: you want. Hey, Rosie o'donald snuck back into the country.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: You remember, she's leaving. She's leaving the country, never going
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: to set foot in America. While Trump is president. She
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: did sneak back, apparently about two weeks ago, said she
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: wanted to see her family. She missed her family. You
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: ever see her family. I don't think anybody want to
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: see them again. But she did come back, and she
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: also said being insane, she said she wanted to make
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: sure it was safe. She wanted to make sure she
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: could get in and out of America. Now, I don't
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: know what she's picturing, getting kidnapped, getting arrested Ice agents.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know what she's imagining. But she came and went.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Everything was fine, she saw our kids. Nobody cared. If
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: you look at her nowadays, nobody would recognize her. You
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: wouldn't know it was Rosie o'donnald. She looks absolutely she
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: looks like Jim Acosta. Now she looks totally different. She
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: does have Irish citizenship. And you got to remember she
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: started the feud, this blood feud with Trump back when
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: she was on the View. She started talking about him
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: one day and you remember she somehow took her hair
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: and put it in the shape of Trump's hair, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: she really got ugly, personal ugly, imitating him. And then
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: he went after and she got worse. You know, these
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: are like two insult kings going after each other. So
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: it really got ugly, and she did sneak back into
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the country. Now, also Allen who left the country, I
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: just bought another twenty five million dollar mansion in Santa Barbara,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: indicating she's going to want to come back a lot
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: more so. Apparently when you leave America, you really, really
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: really don't enjoy it. Other celebrity news, Spike Lee a
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: lot of people upset with him. He showed up the
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: NBA All Star Game, the first Israeli born player competing
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: in the NBA All Star Game. Spike Lee shows up
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: wearing a Palestinian outfit, a Palestinian flag, a Palestinian this,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: a Palestinian that. It's stupid, it's disgusting, it's anti Semitic
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: in that situation, but it's Spike Lee. Would you've expected
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: any different from Spike Lee. It's just it's the problem
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: that democrats have. You know, when Jesse Jackson. First you
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: had Martin Luther King, big civil rights leader, a big
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: left wing guy. Great job. Then you had Jesse Jackson,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: not not Martin Luther King, but it wasn't so bad.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: And then somewhere along the way the Nation of Islam,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Fharakhn jumps into the civil rights movement, bringing with him
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: anti Semitism. It then starts to creep into the Democratic Party.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know there has it been there all along, maybe,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: but it brought it out. There's an anti Semitic problem
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: that Democrats are going to have to deal with. It's
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: gonna it's gonna just haunt them forever if they don't
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: get rid of it. It's gotten worse. But then everything
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: in the democratic world has gotten worse. They've just gotten
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: totally insane, absolutely crazy, just over the top nuts in
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: the last few years. So, hey, have you seen the
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: JFK Junior mini series?
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: I saw the promos for I haven't seen the series.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Apparently this is the hottest series in the world. JFK Junior.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: It's mostly about his media Carolyn Bissett. You know, he
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: was like the ultimate playboy of Manhattan women, all of them,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: but then he met this one woman and this is like,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: for a lot of women, the fairy tale love story
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: that the ultimate bachelor can fall in love and want
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: to settle down and want to get married, and it's
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: all about their relationship and this and that how they
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: got married. This incredible love story. Now, JFK. Junior was
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: a very good friend of mine. We used to go
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: out a lot, and he was quite the unbelievable bachelor.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: And he did meet Carolyn Bassett and settled down. I
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: didn't see him as much after that, but then I
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: started to see him again a lot, and he was
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: going out. So I don't know what they show in
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: this miniseries, but after a while with this marriage, he
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: was out again roaming around. So it wasn't quite the
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: fairy tale you imagine. Now, Apparently in the in the series,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: he meets her and he takes her on the first
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: date to a certain restaurant in the village East village.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I don't have the name of it. It's an Indian restaurant,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: and I guess they actually went to the real place
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and filmed it there. And you see them going the
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: first day to this Indian restaurant in the village. Well,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: apparently because of that, this restaurant is now the hardest
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: reservation in the world to get. People are lined up
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: for miles. They all want to get into this restaurant. Now, again,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I knew the guy pretty well and he was a
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: great guy, but nobody had worse taste in food than him.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: He didn't know anything about the only person who had
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: worst taste in food probably his mother. The fact when
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: his mother had a big dinner party, everybody knew to
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: eat first, because it's like that old waspy society food
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: where it's nothing has any flavor. But so I wouldn't
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: go by him on what restaurants to go do. But
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. The place is packed all the time.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I've noticed a lot of this. This is the new
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: thing with making the movies about people, Like with JFK. Junior,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: you make it into much more of a perfect marriage
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: than it actually was. Or have you seen the movie
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: The Marty Supreme Just saw it a few weeks ago. Yes,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: it's unbelievable, action packed, it's amazing. Now I knew the
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: real guy. His name was Marty Reisman, Uh, and he
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: was a nice guy. But he was maybe the most
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: boring human being you could ever be around. He was
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: and he was a ping pong player champion. And if
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: you see the movie, all the ping pong stuff is true,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: but all the other stuff has just made up. The gangsters,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the gun chases, the car chases, gunfire, the movie star.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: All of that was made up, total fiction. So that's
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: the new style of biography. Start with the real story
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: and then just make up all kinds of nonsense. Hey,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: there's a nail salon and I want to mention the name.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: But it's really nice. It's beautiful, it's excellent. Everybody tells
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: me it's the finest nail salon in the city. So
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I'm looking. I don't know. I just looked it up
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: on Yelp. It got the worst review I've ever It's
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: got horrible reviews. It's magnificent. How could I get such
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: bad reviews. I'm reading the Yelp reviews. This woman says
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: it's I will never set foot in there again. They
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: had Fox News playing on the TV. There's another one.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: You've got to boycott. I won't mention the name. Boycott it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: They have Fox News on the TV there. This is unbelievable.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: This is how just modern day democrats the most intolerant
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: people in the world. I've had a lot of restaurant
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: managers tell me that, you know restaurant that has TVs
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: around the bar or all of it, but that if
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Fox News is on, people will start yelling and screaming,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: demanding they changed the channel, or demanding they changed their
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: table so they don't have to look at Fox News again,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: counting the left wing to be totally intolerant all the time.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Hey, herv, where do you live in Jersey Union City?
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: So when you came into the city, what was your
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: impression as far as garbage snow?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I was kind of brought up in New York,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: so that doesn't surprise me. What did stand out this time?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I am seeing more masks again. I'm seeing more, I
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: say a little bit in Jersey, but I'm seeing them
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: here the more I come into the city. What that's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: all about?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, it's good. It's the left wing identifying themselves
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: with the mess. Although it was pretty cold the last
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: few weeks. I saw a lot of people wearing masks
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: during the cold snap. But it was great. The snow melted,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: it's almost all gone. The garbage got picked up. Although
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: today walking around I know it's the garbage's back. Enormous
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: piles of garbage on every street. So that's mom, Donnie.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Not good with the not good with anything right now.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: A management disaster. And by the way, the Emergency Response
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Director who's been there for years, just left. He quit. Now,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: the good news is he kept recommending his number two,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: the deputy director, and said she'd be perfect. She's been
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: there almost thirty years. She knows what she's doing. The
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: good news is Mom, Donnie just appointed her, made her
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: the director. A lot of people thought he'd bring in
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: some left wing crazy kook, but he did appoint her.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: So that's pretty good news. Hey, we'll take a break.

  Speaker 1: Substack, go to my substack, Irvin's substack on substack, if
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: hopefully you can find.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: It, Irvin's substack should be easy to find. All right,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike and Florida
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: and Mike, how you doing.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark as Mike, and a big shout out
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: to IRV. You know, one thing these liberals keep.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Proving is they all have glass jaws, whether it's Colbert Rosie, O'Donnell,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: hakm Jeffries, who, by the way, his uncle Leondard Jeffries
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: was the biggest anti semi jew hater on the face
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: of the earth at one point.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Wow, he's got competition.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, true, now he does, but back in the day
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: he was like the leader of this stuff.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: But they none of them could take a punch. And
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: not that the Republicans punch back that often, but when
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: they do, they go cry into you know, themselves, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: that their award show. They go out and they you know,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: they cry to the public and it's amazing that none
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: of them can take a punch.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Well, the reason for that is because the media just
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: caters fake news New York Times watch. All they do
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: is just cater to them. So if you're a Republican,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: if you're a Trump you're used to getting attack left
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: and right all day and night. They're not used to it.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: They live in this bubble. They never turn on anything
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: except mainstream media. Thanks for calling, Mike. Let's go to
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Joe in Elmwood Park. Joe, how you doing?
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark, how you doing?
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Kudos to Vincent.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: I heard your guests lived in New Jersey because I
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: asked if you call that, but okay, go ahead. How
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: he likes his utility bill.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I am not crazy about my utility bill thinking of
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of Jersey just because of that. It's it's
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the jump was incredible the last couple of years. My
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Joe is open. I couldn't believe it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: So what's the deal your electric bill?
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: And that was PSG and jump from like on the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: bad months to jump from like six hundred to like
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: eleven hundred out of nowhere undred dollars one month. I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: was right, it was crazy for electricity. Well it's gas electricity.
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: Oh you thank Phil Murphy.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: And then she's gonna she was supposed to put a
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: cap on it and it went up thirty dollars more
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: a month.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Well, you can also thank Andrew Cuomo for closing Indian
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Point that was twenty five percent of our energy and
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: then killing natural gas, which would have brought everybody's bill down.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: So where are you gonna Where are you gonna move?
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: If you want to get away from that, I have
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: no choice. I'm still here.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I've been told Pennsylvania, I've just betched the advice. I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: got low taxes, cheaper houses, and nice areas.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: All right, thinking about it, But.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: You never know, you know, you got all the trouble
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: to move. And then you know, like Florida, who knows
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: one day they could get a democratic governor and it
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: goes crazy. Let's go to Bill and Lafayette. Bill, how
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: you doing okay? Mark?
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: There's an author out of and he's a retired professor,
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: George skia Lava out of Harvard.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: And he already I can't stand the professor Harvard.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: Oh my god, he is a crazy guy. He runs
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: a common wheel spellbound article and uses Catholicism as a
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: springboard into telling everybody how evil and disgusting President Trump is.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: And I'm wondering about these people from Harvard between the
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: ages of seventy and eighty. I wonder if they were
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: all followers of Timothy Leary and just got some hit
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: selves on some bad acid trips.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you remember in the late sixties early seventies,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: all the left wing radicals on campus, the hippies, the
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: left wing, they grew up and they became the professors.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: They're the professors, and then they've raised in indoctrinated generations
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: of crazies. Hey, by the way, you know how you're
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: talking about the Epstein files. How you can search When
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: you go to the Epstein file site, you can just
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: type in the search bar. Nothing comes up more than Harvard.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: There is no person place that gets more hits than Harvard.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Epstein was an enormous part of Harvard, from the president
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: to the professors. Nobody was more involved with Epstein than Harvard.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: So just remember that. Let's go to Johnny and Staten Island. Johnny,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: how you.
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: Doing, Hey, Mark, long time those book listen new tactics.
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: Do want to add on to the city.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: Did he get it? Said from the rich or to corporations?
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: That's no good.
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: Uh, the one to put charge poppy taxes worse than me.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I got allergies too. I could keep coughing.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: And yeah, but when we start with the MTA, The
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: MTA spent two billion dollars on the metro call to
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: get rid of it. How about we stopped all the projects.
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: We got enough buzzes and trained, we got enough employees.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: And mt is a disaster, But that's that's local. That's
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: not MTA is not Mom Donnie. That's local. She controls
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: the MTA.
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: No, But the thing is, you know she can take
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: the money and give it to Mom Donnie and then
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: you go and get rid of the management and MTA.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Well, she did actually give Mom Donnie one point five
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: billion to just tie him over for a few weeks.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: But the MTA budget could easily be cut in half.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: It's all waste, you know. They spend like I forget
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: what the number is. It's like five hundred million at
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: track mile to build subways. The actual cost should be
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: like two million. You know, it's to pave the mile
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: a highway it's forty dollars. We spend a million and
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: a half a mile to pave highway. It's just all
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: waste and fraud. You could easily easily clean that up. Well, Hey,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: coming up next, we'll talk to irv's favorite and cold
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Hey and Coulter coming up next. Lots to talk to

  Speaker 5: the Somali No, it's a real one.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: But he is a substack too, right.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I just I started uploading my blog onto substack a
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: few months ago. Based on your success, I decided to
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: do the same thing.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: Oh excellent, doesn't substack fun, no no ads, no censorship.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I really like plus people try to help each other,
• 21:32

• 21:34
  Speaker 1: send me your substack and i'll send you mind people.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Kind of it's like a community.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't like that part.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: He gets readers.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: And I had a question for you.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: If it's okay.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I don't want take too much now, but I'm thinking
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: about this. You do say surprising stuff once in a
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: while that that makes the left very angry. It makes
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: me think, and a lot of times when I think
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: about it, I'm like, you know what she was right
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: about that? You infer you I think a lot about it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: You inferred I think on the show a few years
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: ago that Joseph McCarthy was misunderstood and gets a bad rap.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm having a little trouble wrapping my mind around that.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Can you explain that a little bit?
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Yes, I am so glad you asked more than that.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: It is laid out in in I would say, verb
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: and detail an exciting story in my book Treason. It's
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: a good couple of chapters that The argument of my
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: book Treason is that liberals have consistently rooted for our
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: country's enemies basically since the mcarthy era. And I had
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: just you know, my first book was High Crimes and
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Misdemeanors about Plinton, and that was the first time I
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: really I mean I was practicing lawyer before that. That
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: was the first time I really noticed just the the
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: mountains of lies that were deployed to defend Bill Clinton,
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: to malign anyone who was opposed to him, from Lucy
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Ange Goldberg to Ken Starr and and reading the true history,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: which is very hard to get on Joe McCarthy of
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: Joe McCarthy, I realized, Oh my gosh, it's the same thing,
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: except we didn't have the Internet. It's it's Clinton was
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: like the comical mirror image of what they did to
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: McCarthy he had. I'll say briefly, but I do recommend
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: that you read the book, for you'll be amazed at
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: the facts of the case. One thing you will notice,
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: I'll say this quickly, is that all of the attacks
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: of McCarthy, they're always as they were on people like
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Ken Starr and Lucianner. And I suppose me there are
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: all these generalities. He was a liar. He was a big,
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: fat liar. He destroyed reputations. But my book has the
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: facts and and you'll notice their side does tend to
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: not rely heavily on facts or to repeat the myths
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: that they have created about him. One of my friends
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: is living in Japan at the time, knew a lot
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: of the publishers they published my book Trees, and he
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: said the publisher came to him and when he read
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: the book, he said, this book says the opposite of
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: everything I've ever heard about Joe McCarthy, every book we've
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: ever published about that period of history. But I believe
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: hers because she has facts.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Now, Joe McCarthy with the Communist stuff, I assumed communists
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: to be talking about Russians. Who was looking for Russian
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: influence in American government? Is that what it is?
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: Was specifically that was the only thing he was interested
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: in in our state, our state department. I go through
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: what the equivalent would have been at the beginning of
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: the War on Terror in the Bush administration of all
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: of these active, active agents with the Communist Party just
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: riddled throughout our government. He was not going around attacking
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: journalists or actors, not that I mean Ronald took on
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: the Communists in in in Hollywood. It was a big
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: problem that they were influencing movies and popular culture. But
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: that wasn't That wasn't McCarthy's thing. His was we have
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: and and FDR knew it. We have known members of
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: the Communist Party working in our government and undermining, under
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: having enormous influence on our foreign policy. Now, what was
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: crucial about when I published Trees and is the Venona
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: Papers had had been released thanks to the work of
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: Daniel Patrick moynihan. This whole time during the fifties, we
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: couldn't release it because we didn't want them to know,
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: so the public never knew. We had figured out how
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: to read Soviet cable. Some small outfit within I think
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: it was within the military, and they yeah, and it
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: was called the Venona Project, but I think it was
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: within the military. They were reading all of these Soviet transcripts.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: Only a small percentage of them, like ten percent have
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: been decrypted at this point, and basically everything everything we
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: McCarthy was saying, it was it was so much worse.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: We know, for example, that the Rosenbergs that were communists.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: His his code name was Liberal.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: But but the myth was created that it was just
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: some poor guy who as a college kid, went to
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: one meeting and he didn't know what it was, and
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: now his whole life is ruined.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: Right, right, And that was certainly not the case. No,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: And you could see it in their policy making decisions.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I mean the biggest one was, oh, I can't even
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: think of the one that that elder Hiss, Elder Hiss.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: He was the most damaging to our foreign policy. Sat
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: at Roosevelt's right hand, and he was I mean they
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: were all, you know, he's very elite, Harvard educated. Three
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: name wasps and oh, well, you know, some of our
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: children will grow up and be musicians, some will be Communists.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: It was just it was just sort of accepted by
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: our elite.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: So he had this problem with the alger hissies around.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: But didn't McCarthy once the camera showed up, go a
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: little crazy and go too far, too many people, too
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: much grandstanding.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: No, actually that that is well for one thing. I mean,
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: look at Trump. Sometimes you do need to be He
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: was very McCarthy was funny, he was boisterous, he was charismatic.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: He had that Irish charm.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Charismatic McCarthy.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: Yes, he got oh he got America's attention. I'll mention,
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: by the way, you know, they try to bury this
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: but the Kennedy family loved McCarthy, wanted McCarthy to marry.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: The father Joseph McCarthy wanted his daughter to marry McCarthy.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: Bob Robert Kennedy worked for McCarthy. He only pushed aside
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: because Roy Cone was was very, very very smart. McCarthy
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: knew it, so Macarthy so wrote. Cone was definitely the
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: top of the heap on that committee. But you know,
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: when I interviewed Robert Kennedy Junior on my sub stack,
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: I started off, I was kind of joking about it.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: I said, because you know, he's always talking about I
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: don't know measles, vaccines, all this other stuff. And I said,
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: you know, I was thinking of doing this entire sub sect,
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: just asking you about Jill McCarthy. And he must have
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: been I had just mentioned the joke. But the first
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: like twenty minutes, well ten minutes, let's say, is him
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: talking about McCarthy coming and hanging out with the family. Wow,
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: they were so close.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Interesting. So is this still up on substeck?
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: Yes it is.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: And what's the book you wrote that deals with McCarthy treason? True?
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: Well, now it's all footnoted. And by the way, that
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: was my third book written I think around two thousand three,
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: two thousand and four. Now, I love all of my books,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: but this is this was all sprung on me, so
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: I'm doing it for memory here. I'm not sure if
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: I was as smooth and describing it as I hope
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: I was when I was promoting the book.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I have the book, and now I got to
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: go back and read the McCarthy stuff. Sounds fascinating. So, hey,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: we only got a thirty.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Eight year is that it's really interesting and it's nice
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: to talk to you.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Or thank you very much, Ann, thanks for the answer.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Wow, we only got like thirty seconds here. Hey, you know,
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: if you go to the Epstein files, you know what
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: name comes up the most in the Epstein Harvard? Harvard.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: You know, it's funny you say that. I almost made
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: that last put that in last week's column. I wrote
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: about other things, but I had a few points I
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: was going to make about the files, and one was
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: I was just randomly searching names to see how many
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: names came up more often than Trump's. You know, you
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: need an asterisk with that, as as you know the
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: mentions of Trump that the media is going so crazy over.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: It's all the mentions are Jeffrey Epstein denouncing Trump. Yeah,
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: something like Trump emailing with him or saying, hey, when
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: gonna come to the end, can me see the girls again?
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: It's nothing from Trump. It's that this pedophile hated him.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there were bitter enemies for like twenty years in
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: that file. So hey, we're out of time, but everybody
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: get to book Treason by and Culter. Read that stuff
