• 0:23
  Speaker 2: No more cold weather. Yesterday was the last cold day.

• 0:30

• 0:34
  Speaker 2: get you that all the latest. We give the latest
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: details on the war, exactly where we stand. We'll get
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: to Texas, what happened last night, we get to Epstein
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and those crazy hearings. We'll get to congestion pricing, We'll
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: get to We had lots to talk about today, So
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: let me just give you a war update. Now, you
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: got these crazy Democrats, Chuck Schumer and others. Schumer I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: watched him yesterday. He said Donald Trump and his endless war.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: It's four days yesterday, endless war. I don't think four
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: days is endless. But Schumer, you know, trying to. He's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: an old, washed up Willie Lohman, old washed up, old
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: fossil old dinosaur, sad sort of a guy now in
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the very end of his career, trying to look relevant.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: You know, he got bigger glasses. He had these glasses.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Now he got the really big mister McGoo glasses. Maybe
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that'll help. It's not helping, but every time people see him,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I think it really really helps Trump when you see
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: this old fossil try to attack things.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: America wants this president to pay attention to the problems
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: at home, not the problems overseas, particularly when no one
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: has any idea of what the real rationale is. It
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: changes every hour.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Now, if Trump had launched some big thing at home,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Schumer would say, he's not paying attention to receives. It's
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: just a ridiculous guy.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Which one is it, Donald Trump? Regime change, nuclear weapons, missiles,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: an imminent threat to the homeland, or a preemptive strike
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: to stop future attacks on the region.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the answer is yes, that's what it is. It's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: all of those things. I don't think he realizes what
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: he's doing. He's so old. He's like an old tired fighter.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You know, Boxer keeps missing every punch misses. He just
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: listed like nine reasons why you want to go do this.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Let me give you the latest down Iraq, though here
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: this is right from the Pentagon all the latest. We
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: are originally talking about one week. Now they're talking about
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: three weeks, four weeks, maybe even five weeks. But the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: reason for the extension is we're doing much better than
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: we hoped. We didn't think it would be this easy. Now,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: remember you got the this has never happened before. You
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: got the two best militaries in the world, the US
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and Israel, and Israel is the most highly skilled military
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: in you could possibly have in the Middle East. Nobody
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: has better intelligence, better capabilities in a Middle East war.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: So the two militaries combining, working side by side, it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: an unbelievable powerful combination. So not only we've not only
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: taken out all their weapons capability, we're now taking out
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: all their manufacturing capability, so they won't be able to
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: bring anything back. We've taken out all the leaders We've
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: got all the top leadership, and now what they're going
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to do is go down the tiers each level, take
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: out each level of leadership all the way down. We've
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: taken out most of their weapons, ballistic missiles. They still
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: have some, but most of them have been taken out.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: They still have some drones which are harder to get.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not, they were building them at a
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: very very fast pace. That was the problem. They were
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: building ballistic missiles drones at a very fast pace. We
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: have now taken out the factories that build them, so
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: they can't keep building. We've taken away seventy five percent
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of their defensive capabilities. Two days ago, we took out
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: fifty percent of their defense and oh, actually offensive capabilities.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: We've taken away seventy five percent of their offensive capabilities.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Defense is gone. Seventy five percent of their offensive capabilities gone.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Now when they fire those missiles, the reason one can
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: get through and hit Tel Aviv is they can send
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: so many at the same time. Now, what they want
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to do when they send a salvo of missiles, to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: send fifty fifty and one salvo. It's hard for that
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: iron dome to stop. Fifty at once. They were down
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to thirty, and even at thirty one could get through.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: So thirty at once it's very hard to stop. We've
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: taken out so much of their offensive capability. They're now
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: down to only two or three. That's all they can
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: send in one salvo. Two or three missiles, which is
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: pretty harmless. The drones are being taken down, they do
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a little damage. Those are a little harder to take out.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: But we're getting it done. And as the Pentagon points out,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: we've lost six six of our military and we owe
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: it to them finished the job. It was a very
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: very very planned attack all of this. That's why it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: gone so well. That's they knew exactly what to hit.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: The Israeli Air Force just struck a top Iranian meeting.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: You know, at the beginning, they took out all of
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Tehran's senior clerics. They did it again yesterday, hit another
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: group of senior clerics. In fact, the group that was
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: there to select a replacement for the Aetola senior officials.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: They were there to do the vote and who to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: replace the Ietola. Israel hit that building and took them out.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: They called it the Assembly of Experts. It's a body
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of eighty eight members who got together to do this voting.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: The strike took them all out and wiped out the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: building also in Iran. You know, you forget so busy
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: with all these other issues, the things Schumer just rattled off.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You forget the brutal oppression of women and other minorities.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: In Iran, women not allowed to do anything. You have
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to keep covered up at all times. Well, women were
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: seen yesterday in Iran taking off their hijabs and dancing
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: openly in the street. They would have been killed for
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that a week ago, but now they're doing it. It's
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: a great thing to see. The Iatola's son, the son
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of the Ayahtola, was selected to how to replace him.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: He's fifty six. His name is Mujtaba ka Kama Nani.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: He's the son of the Ayatola. They have selected him
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: to be the new leader. I would imagine his insurance
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: company immediately cancel his policy. How long would you give
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: this guy to live he's the new leader. I would
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: say one week tops that this guy will be alive.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: He's known as being a staunch advocate of his father's lunatic,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: hardline stuff. He has close ties to Iran's notoriously brutal
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Now, the thing is he had no
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: official role in his father's regime, but he was still
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: sanctioned by the US in twenty nineteen. The appointment is
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: actually unexpected. Again, he had no role. It's like Michael Corleon,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: who was not part of the stuff, all of a
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: sudden getting the leadership. And in Iran, they've always looked
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: down on family succession. These Ayah Toolus. It's one thing
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: they were against, is this family succession, because that's what
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: happened with the Shaw of Iran and all that, and
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: that was the monarchy they toppled. Democrats are trying to
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: attack this thing like crazy, and they don't know what
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to do, so they're actually resorting to this old thing
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: from one hundred years ago where they do this you
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: never served, you never served. For instance, that guy that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: writes south Park that crazy whack up now demanding Baron
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Trump be drafted to war. This is the They did
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: this in the Gulf War. Remember, this is like from
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: twenty years ago. If you didn't serve, you're not allowed
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to go to war. And if you go to war,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: you better have your family. It's ridiculous. First of all,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: we don't have a draft anymore. Second of all, if
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: you talk to Pentagon officials from any of the last
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: four administrations, they'll tell you they do not want to
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: draft anybody. It's not like the old days. You know, Vietnam,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: you were just looking for infantry guys to march around
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: with rifles. Today's armed forces are so high tech, so computerized,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: that draftees are useless. You need people to go through
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: like a year or two of training. Drafting people doesn't
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: work anymore. That's why they don't do it. But you
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: got this stuff going on. Rachel Maddow last night going
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: after Trump for not serving. He didn't serve, called him
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: a bone spurs. Remember that was his thing about not serving,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: that he had bone spurs. You know, for four years
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: we had President Joe Biden, who never served, who claimed
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: he had asthma and that's why he couldn't serve. If
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: you read his five hundred page biography of his old life,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: there's not a word in there about asthma. Suddenly, when
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: it was draft time he had asthma. Joe Biden got
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I think eight student defirm. It's more than Trump. But
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: they've gone in the attic and gotten this old old
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: argument out of the closet about he didn't serve, he
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: didn't serve. Remember the great election of two thousand and four,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: it was John Kerry against George Bush, and Carrie had
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: been in the military. He had been in Vietnam, so
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: he used that as his campaign I served, he didn't serve.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I served. But as it got to close to the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: election and people start to look at this as a
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: wit aim it. Carrie served twenty six years ago. Thirty
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: years ago, he was in the thirty years ago, he
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: was in the army or the navy for a couple
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: of months, and he commanded a boat with eight people
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: on it. And that's a service thirty years ago. And
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: then I looked at Bush. The guy's been the commander
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: in chief of the entire US military for the last
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: four years. I think that counts as more service than Carrie.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: President Trump spoke yesterday about the war.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: They no longer have air protection, they no longer have
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: any detection facilities at all left, and so they're gonna
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: they're going to be in for a lot of hurt.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Their air force is gone, their navy is completely gone.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Most of the people we had in mind are dead.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: So you know, we had some in mind from that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Group that is is dead, and now we have another group.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: They may be dead also based on reports. So I
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: guess you have a third wave coming in.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now who's going to take over.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: With Amazingly, they're hitting countries that were.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: No actually, and this was a big mistake from Iran.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: From the beginning, they started attacking everybody in the Middle East,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Dubai and Saudi Arabia, these are their only possible allies
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: them immediately by attacking them.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Amazingly, they're hitting countries that were you know, let's call
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: them neutral, right, they lived together for.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: A long time.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: They I think they were surprised. I was surprised, I think.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: And now those countries are all fighting against them, and
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: fighting strongly against them. Yeah, we were having negotiations with
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: these lunatics, and it was my opinion that they were
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: going to attack first. They were going to attack if
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: we didn't do it, they were going to attack first.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: I fell strongly about that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: The keyword there is lunatics. You got to remember they
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: were a bunch of lunatics. The Ayatola a lunatic, his
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: son a lunatic. All those people run things a lunatic.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Now this was pretty interesting. He asked them, well, what
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: act this is all over? It'll be over soon. What's
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the worst possible outcome?
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: I guess the worst case would be we do this
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: and then somebody takes over. Who's as bad as the
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: previous person, Right, that could happen.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: We don't want that to happen.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a pretty honest answer. Now you got to remember,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: you know, Democrats do what they always do. If a
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Republican does a bombing thing, they all start to yell
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: it's a violation, it's illegal. You violated this, You violated that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: You got to get the war powers that. None of
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: this is true legally, constitutionally, none of that's true. It's
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: just nonsense. You got to remember Barack Obama was twenty eleven,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: did the same thing in Libya. He wanted to take
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: out Kadafi. Rebels were rising up. We wanted to help
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: the rebels. So Obama launched the same sort of attack
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: bombing Libya. Every Democrat immediately put out a statement, thank
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: God for his device decisive action. Look at how great
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: he is. Decisive, he's acting, Look at him protecting the free.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: There's just exact opposite of today. That's one thing about
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: these democrats they have they have no shame. They could
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: tell you one thing an hour later, if Trump does it,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: they'll tell you how awful it is. It's the most
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: disgusting thing in the world. Yeah, but you were just
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: for it. For the last ten years. They couldn't care less.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: They'll say anything everything Trump does, closing the border, deporting illegals,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: getting rid of the show. This is everything the Democrats
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: have been promising to do for thirty years. All they
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: did was promise this stuff, and they're furious that somebody
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: actually did it now for two reasons, One because it's
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Trump and they hate him. And two, if you get this,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: if they don't have a campaign issue anymore. Now, Hey,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: speaking of campaigns, Texas, Jasmine Crockett lost lost badly in
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the runoff. There new guy, this is the new hot
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: shot Democrat, Tall Rico. He's only thirty six, wiped out
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Jasmine crocket and a typical Democrat. You know, if you
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: say the election was rigged, you should immediately be arrested
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and go to jail, just like Trump. Now she's saying
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the election was rigged. It was rigged. However, she was
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: crying voter suppression. There was a court ruling about keeping
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the polls open a little later voter suppression or closing
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: the polls early voter suppression. Although everybody's looking at the
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: number she got wiped out by a huge amount. There's
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: no amount of suppression or tamper, and there's no amount
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: that could have made up this gap. She was just
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: completely wiped out. Now the thing is Tall Rico. This
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: is the new hotshot Democrat. Remember this is the guy
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Colbert wanted to have on and the Democrat said, you
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: you gotta have both on. You can't have just one on.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: So Tall Rico one big with Hispanics. That's a big
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: thing is Democrats had completely lost Hispanic voters. So in
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the general election. This is encouraging Democrats because he did
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: so well with Hispanics. Maybe maybe he's got a shot
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: in Texas. Anyway, we'll get back to the war, We'll
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: get to Epstein, We'll get to congestion pricing. Hey, big
• 14:25

  Speaker 6: I come back to what people have been asking me
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: to do. Ever since I lost the election on November four,
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: A lot of people have said, when are you getting back,
• 15:19

• 15:31
  Speaker 2: actually the oldest talk radio station in America. Actually talk
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: radio started here. This is the station that invented and
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: originated talk radio one hundred it's one hundred and three
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: hundred and four years ago, I think one hundred and
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: four years ago. One hundred and four years ago invented
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: talk radio here. Then in the nineteen forties, one of
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the talk show hosts, a young guy named Barry Gray.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Nobody had ever done this for it before he put
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: a phone call on the area. It was very primitive
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: back then you almost had to hold the phone up
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: to the microphone you could barely hear the caller. But
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: he was the first one to put a caller on
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the air, and I think it was nineteen forty seven,

  Speaker 7: delighted that Curtis is coming back. And you know, I've
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: been listening to I'm eybe seven years old perfectly, and
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: I've been listening to w R since I was a child,
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: and the Gamblings and what have you, and I am
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: so disgusted with that radio station up to time.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, they're all nice people up there.
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: They are not all nice people, and they are and
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: to stab Curtis in the back and have people like
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: Anthony Wiener on and Andrew Cuomo is Anthony Waiters.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Anthony Wiener is not there anymore, and I wouldn't bet
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: on Cuomo being there much. I don't know.
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well you know the insights.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know any I have no insight, Scoop.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I'm just from listening to it. I don't see that
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: lasting too long. But thanks for calling. Glad you're happy
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Curtis is coming. Hey, speaking a Wiener Anthony Wiener, he
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: was on the view acting like he wants to make
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: a comeback. Anthony Wiener, the whack job pervert was on
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: the view, and it looked like to me, it looked
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: like he's getting ready to run for something. Hey, remember,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Wiener is like a cross between Bill de Blasio and
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein, like a really left wing horrible, terrible, terrible
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: left wing kook politician and a total underage women pervert
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: kind of guy. Now, they did confront him about his past.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: He went on with this whole speech about it was
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: because of addiction and he's a changed man, and he
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: was asking New Yorker's trust him at the ballot box,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: saying he's taken accountability and moved on. So just a warning,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: just a warning, this creepy pervert maybe trying to make
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a comeback. Let's go to Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: Hey, Mark, carry you. I just want to mention that
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: Reagan hit Quadaffi in nineteen eighty six after that nightclub bombing. Yeah,
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: and after that, Kudaffi had been very quiet, very silent.
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: He wasn't really a threat after that. And when Obama
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: hit him and basically killed him, the Democrats didn't say anything.
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: But Kadaffi had had gone underground. He was afraid of
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: America after that, So so they hit on Kadaffi by
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: Obama really to me was kind of senseless.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: And the other thing I want to mention was John
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: Kerry was actually in the service like fifty seven years ago.
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: Vietnam ended April.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Thirtieth, ve okay, but when he ran it was two
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: thousand and four, so that would have been yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: And his third Purple Heart got him out of Vietnam,
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: and that one as Vietnam vets pretty much know that
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: he did that to himself to get him out of there.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the great John McCain said, Kerrie got three
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: purple hearts without ever spending a single minute in sick base.
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: Well that was not a John McCain fan, but.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: That is actually yeah, McCain said.
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: He supposedly yeah, well, he supposedly said threw his medals
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: over the White House fence and we can't stand him
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: as much as we can't stand Hanoi. Jane.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Stuart, thanks for call. Yeah, McCain said,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: to carry was obviously just a metal chaser. And the
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: reason why that third one, when you got three, you
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: got to you got to go home. Let's go to
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Jerry and Greenwich. Jerry, how you doing.
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: I'm doing very well. Thank you for taking my call.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Mark.
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: I would like to know if you're truck Schumann and Company.
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: Then they realize what Crump did. That many millions and
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: millions of a Medican life saved in New York to Washington, Philadelphia, Boster.
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: You know, I think they we've all been wipe it
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: out of the earth.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, that's why they got That's why Schumer got
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: so mad. You know, listen, this could be a big
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: thing politically. It could be great for Trump. It could
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: make them look good. That's why Schumer gets so upset.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: They don't want Trump to succeed on anything. Ever, let's
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: go to Dan and Queens. Dan, how you doing.
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: Him?
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: Mark?
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: Yes, Dan, I'm sure your audience, and I'm one of them,
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: has noticed you've helped a lot of your fellow radio people.
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: You had Joe Concher, Curtis and Lionel all on your show.
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: Now they all have gigs.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Well wait, wait, wait, wait, wait hanging out. Lionel had
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: plenty of jobs long before he was on this show.
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: Lionel was Yeah, but now he's got a permanent more nonag.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I think you're forgetting Lionel was the morning host on
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the other station for years. Lionel was on Channel eleven
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: for years. Lionel was on a million Lionel had quite
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: a career. That's the reason I was a guest. He
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: was a well known radio guy then, and it was
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Joe Kancha had a million, million, million jobs before he
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: was ever on here.
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: My question to you is, when are you going to
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: get a culton, When are you going to use your
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: influence to get Anne on the view to battle those shrews.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: She's been on the View plenty of.
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: Times as a permanent host.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: They don't don't think I don't think she wants to
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: be a permanent host on the View. Uh, it doesn't
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: mean anything to be on the View anymore. It doesn't
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: mean a thing at all. More people hear on this
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: show than we'll see her on the View. Uh, you know,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: the View is just it's a it's a tiny, tiny,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: tiny audience for network nowadays. Hey, when we come back,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the great, the brilliant Steve Forbes will be with us next.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Let's see what he thinks about all of this, coming
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: up on seven to ten wrtly.
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: Hellish on sevent ten.
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: WR Well, we like to bring you the smartest people
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: on earth, Steve Forbes, chairman of Forbes Media, that you
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: should be reading, subscribe to, and take great advantage of.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Also the author of a very important book. I urge
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: you to get this book, Inflation. No better book on
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the subject. Steve Forbes' book is at Amazon. Steve Forbes,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: how you doing doing fine?
• 23:34
  Speaker 11: Thanks? Enjoying not a heat wave, but at least not
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: single digit temperatures.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, that's got to be grateful.
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: And also seeing what's happening in Florida and Arizona waiting
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: for a few weeks for those magic words play ball, baseball.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's only a couple of weeks away. Spring training
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: is underway. Yes, hey, let me ask you about this
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: crazy Chuck Schumer. Yesterday he said Trump and his endless war?
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Can you really say endless war on day four?
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: Just sos they have their own definition of the calendar. Now,
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: the Republicans are having great glee and digging up that
• 24:22
  Speaker 11: twenty eleven thing from Nancy Pelosi when Barack Obama bombed
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: Libya and the reporter asked her, does that mean that
• 24:32
  Speaker 11: Congress doesn't need to approve this? And she said, that's right,
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: Congress doesn't need to approve it. Then they played it
• 24:38
  Speaker 11: for the Democrat leader yesterday and he just could smirk
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: and say, the circumstances are different. What a profound observation. Yes,
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: Libya is not your ant. Oh boy, he learned his
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: geography well, so, yes, four days is a forever war
• 24:53
  Speaker 11: ten years in nost Okay.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Now, what about all the all the media Democrats are
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: telling you her, Dana, this is it. Gas prices, oil prices,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: energy will go crazy. We're going to be in terrible
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: trouble of the economy as a result. What's the truth.
• 25:11
  Speaker 11: The truth is, you could get a spike, but we've
• 25:15
  Speaker 11: had oil spikes bigger than the ones we've experienced now,
• 25:19
  Speaker 11: and the markets sort of know, which is why the
• 25:21
  Speaker 11: stock market always wobbly when you have these uncertainties, but
• 25:25
  Speaker 11: still holding up fairly well. Knows that won the war.
• 25:29
  Speaker 11: This war is not forever. It's a matter of weeks,
• 25:32
  Speaker 11: not years, and that disruptions there may be straight of Hormuz.
• 25:36
  Speaker 11: Who knows what will happen there, especially with insurance rates,
• 25:40
  Speaker 11: but these are temporary. These are not permanent. And the
• 25:43
  Speaker 11: real danger is not what's going to happen in the
• 25:47
  Speaker 11: next four or five weeks, that's going to be dicey,
• 25:50
  Speaker 11: but what the Federal Reserve might do, thinking oh, this
• 25:53
  Speaker 11: is going to raise the inflation rate of inflation and
• 25:55
  Speaker 11: do something dumb like not cut interest rates. So that's
• 26:00
  Speaker 11: that's what I worry about, is misinterpreting what's happening. This
• 26:04
  Speaker 11: war will not last more than four weeks, five weeks,
• 26:06
  Speaker 11: six weeks. And by the way, there's growing pressure not
• 26:10
  Speaker 11: to send US troops in, but to start arming militias
• 26:13
  Speaker 11: of Iranians so they can deal with this inside and
• 26:17
  Speaker 11: by bombing the police and the military, these CITs, armed
• 26:22
  Speaker 11: citizens can take over. You know, we had a citizen's
• 26:26
  Speaker 11: army in our revolution. These things can work.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. So Hey, these New York politicians, especially
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the Assembly, now they're talking about a twenty five percent
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: surcharged tax on corporations and your mom, Donnie, was a
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: tax on corporations increase. Isn't that the same thing as
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: a tariff? I thought they hate tariffs. Well, it's a
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: matter what you call it, and.
• 26:53
  Speaker 11: So, but it is. It is a tax, and maybe
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: they should call it a tariff center But anyway, it's
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: a dumb thing going to hurt the economy of a
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: New York economy. They're already sneaking in things like vastly
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: increasing their pension costs and the like.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: And as we.
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: All know, New York City's budget alone, the city's budget
• 27:14
  Speaker 11: alone is bigger than the state of Florida. Even though
• 27:18
  Speaker 11: Florida has almost three times as many people.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: As New York.
• 27:21
  Speaker 11: Florida gets by with a smaller budget than New York City.
• 27:26
  Speaker 11: And last I look, we don't have we're actually wandering
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: around Florida the way they do in New York City,
• 27:32
  Speaker 11: and people seem to be doing all right. We don't
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: have people dying in the streets or anything like that.
• 27:38
  Speaker 11: So yes, it's just another self destructive move. And I
• 27:42
  Speaker 11: just hope with this year's election that we finally get
• 27:45
  Speaker 11: a governor who realizes you want to have businesses grow,
• 27:49
  Speaker 11: not destroyed.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let me ask you an inflation question. Maybe it's
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: a stupid question, but you get inflation, the prices go up,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: and then if you solve the problem, you stop the inflation.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: But you never get the prices to go down.
• 28:03
  Speaker 11: Correct, Well, you can get when courts go up, Yeah,
• 28:07
  Speaker 11: they get embedded. But with the spikes that we see,
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: the spikes that we see now in oil, that is
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: very though. Gasoline prices and certain food prices are very sensitive,
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: so they can go up, but we also know they
• 28:20
  Speaker 11: can go down. Going back to a year, you know,
• 28:24
  Speaker 11: centuries ago and Joe Biden was allegedly president, we all
• 28:28
  Speaker 11: know what happened to gas prices and even though they're
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: spiking now, still way below than when Donald Trump took
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: office for a second term. So these things will sort
• 28:38
  Speaker 11: themselves out, and the key thing is not to panic.
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: See this thing through and the oil price the markets
• 28:45
  Speaker 11: will readjust and remember We're a big oil producer, We're
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: a big natural gas producer. So it's Venezuela and so
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: and Iran when it gets a new government, which eventually
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: will is also a major oil producer. And when the
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: things that a new Iranian government is not going to
• 29:02
  Speaker 11: do is so discounted oil to a country called China.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Now, if you get the right government there, you could
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: really increase the flow of oil we have. That would
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: really bring the prices down. But what about our relationship
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: with Saudi Do you think we have to make some
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: kind of agreement with them not to drop the price
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: too much.
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: Well, I think the Saudis wants stability and one of
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: the things that they've worked on is is to make
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: sure oil didn't spike. And also they want stability, so
• 29:38
  Speaker 11: they don't want it to go too low, but they
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: don't want it to go too high because then they
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: know that leads to all sorts of cheating and bring
• 29:45
  Speaker 11: a new supply on. So they want control. They don't
• 29:49
  Speaker 11: have the kind of control they had in the past by.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: A long shot.
• 29:53
  Speaker 11: But the thing is in terms of the war, and
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: I think the markets recognize this. Again, these are temporary disruptions,
• 30:02
  Speaker 11: These are not four year, six year disruptions. These are
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: four weeks, six weeks, pick a number, but they're not
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: forever disruptions.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, let me ask you one more question AI.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Five years from now, how are we going to feel
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: about AI? A We're going to think it's a wonderful
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: thing and it worked out perfectly. Or are we going
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: to be furious that hundreds of tens of millions of
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: people got laid off?
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: Well, I think we're well with AI. It's like anything
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: can be used for good or for evil. But I
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: think if we have the right kind of economy, I e.
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: Continue to reduce regulations in the like I hope President
• 30:41
  Speaker 11: Trump goes for another tax cut and so you get
• 30:45
  Speaker 11: a booming economy. We'll cope with the disruptions of AI.
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: You know, I live through it in the print industry.
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: You know, print industry is upended in the nineteen nineties
• 30:55
  Speaker 11: by the Internet and so huge adjustments there. But in
• 30:59
  Speaker 11: a free econom me, you go with it and we
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: all end up more prosperous. And I think I've mentioned
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: that with AI. Whoever invented that name artificial intelligence should
• 31:10
  Speaker 11: be shunned. We don't call we don't call cars artificial horses,
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: and we don't call airplanes artificial birds. My friend Mark
• 31:18
  Speaker 11: Mills made that observation. And by the way, and in
• 31:22
  Speaker 11: closing on that, over two hundred and twenty years ago,
• 31:25
  Speaker 11: there was great fears of this thing called electricity, and
• 31:28
  Speaker 11: you had medical students taking cadavers and you know, giving
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: them jolts of electricity and the bodies bounced around. Everyone's wondering,
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: good lord, can we create life with electricity jolts? That's
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: how we got the novel Frankenstein. Wow, well we didn't
• 31:44
  Speaker 11: get we didn't get we didn't get the body. The
• 31:47
  Speaker 11: Frankenstein's coming out of the labs. We've got great entertainments.
• 31:51
  Speaker 11: So yes, with any with humans, nothing is perfect. But
• 31:54
  Speaker 11: I think AI one of the big things in AI,
