  Speaker 1: Watch some more live from the w R Life back studios.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know what's summer. We forgot to mention that
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: it's officially summer now. The first day of summer was Sunday.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: The other thing is Sunday was the longest day of
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the year. You know, light out till almost nine o'clock.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: It starts getting darker earlier every day now, So to
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: enjoy it while you can, Well, you get a lot
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: to get to. Today, we'll be talking about Clive Davis
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: at great length. We'll get to Iran, We'll get to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: this crazy new book, this New York Times Maggie Haberman
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: hit piece on Donald Trump. It's actually pretty funny. I mean,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: they're up to their old tricks. It's right out of
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the old playbook. We'll get to we'll get to that.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: This a terrible story about the anti Semitism in New York. Hey,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mother, there's been strange breakthroughs in
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the case. Strange in that why are they just figuring
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: this out? Now? You know, it was the local police
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: who don't seem to know what the hell they're doing.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: But the FBI then got involved. But Nancy Guthrie is
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: now believed to be dead. It's believed that she did
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: not last long after the kidnapping. She was kidnapped and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: then they think it was just within a day or
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: so that she died. She couldn't survive the kidnapping. But
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: they're looking back at ransom notes, and there's a certain
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: ransom note or two from the same place that they
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: believe are the kidnappers. Now, why they didn't know this
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: back then, it still hasn't been explained. But apparently in
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: one of the ransom notes they knew stuff that only
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the kidnappers could know. They correctly identified a broken floodlight
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: in the back of her home, and they knew details
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: about the Apple watch she was wearing that only the
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: kidnapper could know. So they're going back and looking at this,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: at these notes, they've got the IP addresses. Now, again,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: these are these local yokel law enforcement people who don't
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: know what the hell they're doing, but they're trying to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: track the IP address and they have to trace it
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: through a string of proxy servers that could lead back
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to the suspects. Now, apparently one time these kidnappers asked
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: for a bitcoin a ransom in Bitcoin authorities dropped a
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: small amount of money into that bitcoin account, and the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: reason they did that is said they could just just
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: a little money in there, just so they could trace
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the money and see where it went. Now, I think
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: what happened here just guessing, But at the time, I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: remember they went public with stuff I didn't know, and
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think the nappers knew that bitcoin is traceable.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: The whole idea of bitcoin, you use that so it's
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: totally anonymous, nobody can find out anything. But authorities did
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: reveal that they can trace bitcoin. There are ways to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: do it. They can trace it right back to you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: So that's why they put a tiny amount so they
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: could start tracing it back to the kidnappers. When this
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: was made public in all the news stories that bitcoin
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: was traceable, and the kidnappers saw them deposit little tiny
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: amount in the bitcoin, they might have figured out that
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: they were trying to trace them and then gave up
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: on attempts to collect their ransom. So, even though these
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: were the kidnappers, she died. I assume they buried her somewhere.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: They must have, because she's never been found. But I
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: guess they just gave up trying to collect their ransom.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie has put out all kinds of statements today
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: begging them to reveal at least where she is, just
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: so they can know that and get some closure here.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. This New York City coffee shop story
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: is the most awful, ugly story.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: This representative Congressman Dan Goldman, who's the slimiest weasel ever.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: But but put that aside. He's Jewish Dan Goldman, and
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: he's the supporter of Israel. Despite the fact that he's
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a crazy left wing democrat. He's the supporter of Israel.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Not a big supporter, but a basic basically supports Israel.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: So he goes into the local coffee shop in Brooklyn Williamsburg.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: This is his usual coffee shop in his neighborhood. It's
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: called Poetica Coffee, and he buys a cup of coffee.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I guess the guy didn't recognize him at first. They
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: later figured out it was Dan Goldman, the congressman, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: on their social media they apparently issued a refund nine
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: dollars and eighty two cents for the coffee. First of all,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: they should probably be charged with something there, some kind
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: of that's a robbery nine dollars and eighty two cents
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: for a cup of coffee. But they put up a
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: bitter Facebook post attacking Goldman saying they were gave the refund.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: They put the money back onto his credit card because
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: they don't want to take money from anybody that supports genocide,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: saying Israel commits genocide, which of course is idiotic anti
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Semitic talk. But they then put this just ugly anti
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Semitic stuff up on their Facebook. Here at Poetica, we
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: don't serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers. It goes on
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and on. It's just idiotic stuff. Too bad we didn't
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: We don't need your money. It's probably coming from Apac anyway.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Enjoy your loss on Tuesday, today's primary day. There's a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: good chance he could lose today. Don't ever come into
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Poetica again. And well, this is the worst anti Semitic
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: coffee shop. Now this is you might say, Well, it
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: might could be the employee. You should be right now,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the owner himself, the owner of the coffee shop, has
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: come out and backed this up and said things even
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: worse He's compared Israel to Nazi Germany. It's absolutely disgusting.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: This is the worst racism, anti semitism discrimination. This coffee
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: shop should be shut down immediately. Hopefully it'll be picketed
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: left and right until it goes out of business. It's
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Poetica Poetica Coffee in Brooklyn. They reporters talked to Attorney
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: General Letitia James, who should step in immediately and shut
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: this down. She had nothing to say about it. Mayor
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie, who should have the Department of Consumer Affairs
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and all that goes shut them down, did not respond
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: for comment. It's a complete violation of New York's human
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: rights laws. This coffee shop should be shut down immediately.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: But you got Mamdani and Letitia James knowing them to
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: look the other way on this. Now, the good news
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: is you got the President Trump in office. His Justice
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Department is looking into it. Harmit. Dillon has been assigned
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to this coffee shop. I mean, it's the worst case
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: of discrimination imaginable. Hopefully they will the FEDS will come
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: in and charge them federally with something absolutely disgusting story.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: So now the Iran deal looks like they're going to
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: be signing it. The President of Iran is on his
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: way to Pakistan to sign JD vance signed first for US,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: then the president of the Iranian Parliament. Next step is
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: President Trump signs it, and the President of Iran signs it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: So that'll be happening. And part of the deal is
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: we're not given the money. We're just releasing some of
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: their money back to them. And part of the deal
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: is we can say where they spend it. In other words,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: they can't just go spend it on weapons. They got
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to spend it on their own population. They got to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: spend it on wheat and barley and that kind oft
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: to feed people. And according to the deal, they will
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: buy all that from American farmers.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: President Trump, if the sanctions go out, money is going
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: to be put into this country. All that money is
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: coming back in the form of purchase of the food
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: which they desperately need.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: They have ninety one million people, they can't feed them.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: So the money that we lift is going to go
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: to our farmers.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: All right, that's pretty good. Now, if you don't like
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: the Iran deal, and that's most people, they hate this deal.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: But this doesn't mean anything. This is like round four
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: of a fifteen round fight. This deal. You may not
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: like it, it might whatever. It's just for a month
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: or two, we're going to be in this deal. I'm
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: not really supposed to say this, but one of the
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: reasons we're in there's a deal. This is also a
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: stalling tactic. You know, we had the ceasefire and we're
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: stalling for a month, and now this will stall for
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: another couple of months. One of the things that's doing
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: for us it's given us time to re arm. We
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: used a lot of missiles, we used a lot of bombs.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: We used a lot of missiles. We used a lot
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: of drones in the attack on Iran. So we need
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: to re arm, restock the supply. It takes a while
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: to build them, and this has given us time to
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: totally restock for the next invasion which will be coming.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: One thing that really got to Iran was the blockade.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: It shut them down.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: I think the blockade was more impactful than dropping bombs.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: If you want another the truth, it was, like I said,
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: they call it the steel wall. Nobody got through it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: Now one ship got through able to go to Iran.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: They got through. We wanted them to go through.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they did keep a part of the straight open,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: what they call the Southern Route, which is along the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Oman coast that was open. Ships have been coming through there.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: They brought one hundred million gallons of oil out in
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks. By the way, the price
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: of oil, let's just check, is dropping dramatically. Last time
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I looked, oh, it was seventy three. Now it's seventy
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: two dollars a barrel. Seventy two dollars a barrel average
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: price at the pumps, and now I was about three seventy.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Expected to hit three point fifty pretty soon. Oil dropping.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: It was one hundred and ten of barrel. Now it's
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: seventy two. Of course, there's no mention of that anywhere
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: by the fake news, that it's down almost forty dollars
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: a barrel. No mention of that from the fake news,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: but they like to keep that quiet. Hey, this new book,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: it's two New York Times morons. It's Maggie Haberman and
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Swan. And if you see them on a television
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: show like Morning Joe This Morning, you'll see them on
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: other shows. There's no more Colbert to go on, but
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: you know they'll be on the Sunday shows, and they
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: look brilliant. You know, she's got the big glasses and
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: look smart. He's got sort of a British accent. It
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: sounds very smart. They're two absolute idiots. It's the dumbest
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: book ever written. It's all nonsense, and it's got this
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: ridiculous title. What's it called, I don't even remember. Is
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: it Revenge something? But the subtitle is The Imperial Presidency
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: of Donald Trump. The Imperial Presidency. Now this is history
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: repeating itself. Back when Nixon was president, they had Nixon
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Derangement syndrome. They all hated him, and Dan Rather was
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the leading critic. He wrote a book called The Imperial Presidency,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: The Imperial Presidency of Richard Nixon. Well, here's the new one,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: The Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. But I watched these
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: two idiots on Morning Joe, and I got to give
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: him credit. They make the most preposterous cases with straight faces.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: He's talking about the Trump prosecuting people that are enemies,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: and she actually said, we have never seen a president
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: ever ever prosecute his political enemies. We just saw four
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: years of the worst example. Whatever. Why were they in
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a coma for four years? So it's just ludicrous. Would
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: give them credit? They say this nonsense with a straight face.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Look there they are again on MS whatever the hell
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: it's called. Uh yeah, you're gonna see a lot of them.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: They'll be they'll be the stars of the Sunday shows.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: They'll they'll promote this book like crazy. Well, let's talk
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: about Clive Davis for a couple of minutes. We'll do
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: it again later this hour with Roger Friedman, who knew
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Clive very well. Uh, he was a friend of mine.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: He was an amazing obviously you know about his talent.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: They said he had the golden ears. He discovered the
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: longest list of people. Nobody's discovered more big names over
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: more decades than Clive Davis, from Janis Joplin to Bruce
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Springsteen to Barry Manilow to Whitney Houston. And I mean,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't even this list because I'll never remember all
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: the names. Engineered the comeback of Santana, Rod Stewart, you
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: can go on and on and on with all these names.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I remember being in his office a long time ago.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: This was back when he was running Arister Records. This
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: would be a late eighties, early nineties believe or not,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: everybody still used cassettes. You remember cassettes, the forty five
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: minute cassette, There was a ninety minute cassette. It was
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: even a one twenty cassette, one hundred and twenty mins. Well,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I was in his office. I'm looking at there's a
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: stack of cassettes from the floor to the ceiling. There
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: must have been literally five hundred cassettes stacked up, and
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: there were like ten more rows, so there must have
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: been five thousand cassettes stacked up. I never said anything
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: like in my life, even in a radio station, we
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: never had that many cassettes. I said, I said, what
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: are all those cassettes? He said, those are unknown artists
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: that send me tapes that there band or themselves. And
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I looked at it. It was literally five thousand cassettes.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I said, you're not gonna listen to all of those?
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Are you?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: And he looked at me like I was crazy. He said,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: are you kidding? Of course, he said the next Beatles
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: could be in there. Of course I'm gonna listen to
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: every one of them. But that's how devoted he was. Dedicated.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: He was had an incredible ear. I loved like asking
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: him about certain artists, like why this guy wasn't bigger,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: or why this guy didn't really do and he could
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: explain it to you musically in incredible, like mathematical detail,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: exactly what was wrong with the way they did stuff,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the tempo, the pacing, the phrase, and he could explain
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: it to you so precisely. Had an incredible ability not
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: just to pick talent, but to pick songs and all
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: of that stuff. And the one thing I really admired
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: about him, you know, I love I've spent my whole
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: life going out every night to a million places, told
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: whatever hour. This guy, in his nineties would do that
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: more than I ever could. I couldn't keep up. I mean,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I really admire guys like that. Frank Sinatra was the
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: other one, but he only lived to eighty two. But
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: even at seventy eight, this guy, you couldn't keep up
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: with him. He was out all night till literally seven
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: in the morning. I remember Tom Dreesen said to him
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: once he was leaving, and Sinatra goes, where you're going,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: He goes cemetery, and he said, for what he goes
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: to see all the other guys that try to keep
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: up with you. So that was Clive, and it was unbelievable,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: the energy, and he'd have just till the end. I
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: mean he every weekend he had a house in Pound Ridge.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: He would invite forty people to his house, literally forty
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: people to his house every weekend and it was just
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: NonStop activity for two days.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: I didn't like to go to.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Those because you'd get a schedule as soon as you
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: got up. There a detailed, like blow by blow schedule.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: It's like for Saturday seven to nine, breakfast, nine to ten,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: rest time, ten o'clock, meet the bus, we're going to
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: this and then we're go into detail every moment of
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: the day what you had to do. And then at
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: night he would have a thing called Poundridge's Got Talent
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: where everybody had to perform. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: or sometimes it'd be charades. It was a little crazy,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: but he just loved to keep busy, he loved activity.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Had a great partner. His name is Greg Schieffer. Wonderful guy,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: very talented guy. And I mean you'll never see a
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: lot of people, think you'll never see anybody else like
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: And we'll talk about it more with Roger Friedman in
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: a couple of minutes We'll take some calls. Next eight
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten. Is the number
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Give WR, bri said on the iHeartRadio app to hear
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: marks them all? Then all the WR hosts in an instance.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simon show on wo R.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: how you doing?

  Speaker 8: There's two great parts of this Dan Goldman coffee shop story. One,
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: it's great when liberals get bitten in the rear end
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: by their own side like Goldman.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: The other is that it illustrates the self righteousness of
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: these liberals. The coffee shop is fighting racism, Islamophobia, homophobia
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: by selling coffee. This like it's such a great disconnect.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, it would be funny, but the ugly, disgusting
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: anti semitism in that coffee shop. I don't know why that.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, well we know why we got these crazy
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: left wing people. Mayor and the Attorney general. That coffee
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: shop should be shut down by noon today, just close immediately.
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: And it's ironically that's in Williamsburg, which is like, you know,
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: the quintessential Jewish neighborhood.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not so much anymore.
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: The demographic at least it was, I guess it isn't anymore.
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: It's all hipsters now, I guess.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, demographics is changing. All right, Mike, thanks for calling.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah that Hopefully a Trump administration comes in and just
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: arrest those people. Harmi Dillon. Department of Justice is on
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the case as we speak. Let's go to Paul roslind Heights.
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: Paul, how you doing, big, good morning, Martawa.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Are you good?
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: Good? So with the Iran deal, I love Trump.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I think he's yeah, you don't like the Iran Deal?
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: No, I think I want to know what you think
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: about it. He's placating them, but after the midterm election he's.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Gonna rip up the best advice I can give you.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Don't even think about it. Don't even worry about it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: He knows what he's doing. This is like a ninety
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: seven different chess moves. Don't even this is like the
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: round four of a fifteen round four. Don't even worry,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: but let him figure it out. He'll figure it.
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: I'm putting my money on Trump though, Yeah.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks for calling. Don't even think about the irandial.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: It's just a little temporary thing. It's one step in
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: a million steps. He's got this all mapped out in
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: his head. Let him handle it. That's what you're paying
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: him for. Let's go to Frank and Staten Island. Frank,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 19:18

  Speaker 10: You could do no wrong.
• 19:24
  Speaker 11: What affessed me? We're giving a baldy reconstruction. What's it
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: going to affect off prices here? Back in the seventies
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: we gave reed to Russia and bread went sky high.
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: We pay for guests. Now we're gonna pay for food.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: No, I think you're conflating about eight different things. You
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: don't have to worry about it. It'll it'll be fine.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Everything will be fine. Let's go to Mike in New Jersey. Mike,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: how you're doing?
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Hey? Mark?
• 19:50
  Speaker 12: A sign note. Clyde Davis was also.
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: Responsible for the success of The Grateful Dead In case
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: you didn't.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Know, No, I didn't know that. Really.
• 19:59
  Speaker 12: Yes, that's so you're not a deadhead.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Do I look like a dead head?
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, uh, I could live live without the Grateful
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: But it's an amazing ear that he had. He could,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: you know, certain guys could just you know, know certain things.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: He knew every type of music from hip hop rap
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: to the Grateful Dead. You couldn't be uh more range
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: than Clive Davis had. Yeah, amazing, amazing ear. Let's go
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: to uh Jerry and Grantwich. Jerry, how you doing?
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: I'm doing well? Thank you, Mark uh Mark. I wonder
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: why Fox News gives so much airtime to this guy
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: from Texas, to this guy from Maine. You know, even
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: Godfeldt puts his picture. They gave us so much time.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Well, people like hearing about it. They like making fun
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: of the guy. They like laughing at the guy. They
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: like attacking the guy.
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: But they know, but they don't put any anybody else
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: in their opposition.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: They don't.
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: They don't show who the runs against them. I mean,
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: they'll get to.
• 21:02
  Speaker 12: That, you know.
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: I object to that.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I don't like to see them, you know, but it
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: is a business. You got to you gotta do what
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: people want. It is a business. You got to serve
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: the customers.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: Anyway, I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's nice.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: You can't win. They attack plat and they're like crazy,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: he's mad about it. Well, don't worry. They know what
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: they're doing over there at Fox. He's tving that. One
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: reason Fox is number one is they know what they're doing.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: You know, people don't realize nowadays when you talk about ratings,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: they have like minute by minute, second by second ratings.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: They can see exactly where people tune out. You know,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: like when you're streaming, we can not only tell exactly
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: who's listening, we can tell if you turn the volume
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: up or down. It's very scientific. So if something's not working,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: a story is not good, word goes out immediately. Stop
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: covering this. If people love a certain to cover it more.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Every every good network does that kind of stuff. Hey,
• 22:04

  Speaker 2: how you doing well?
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: I'm okay, but you know, of course we're mourning our
• 22:38
  Speaker 13: great friend today, Clive Davis, which seems.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Hard to believe.
• 22:43
  Speaker 13: I know he was ninety four years old, but you
• 22:46
  Speaker 13: know we could have used this. We thought he'd go
• 22:48
  Speaker 13: to one hundred, you know, but this was the great
• 22:53
  Speaker 13: music executive, music mogul who discovered Whitney Houston and brought
• 23:00
  Speaker 13: us an incredible, as he said, soundtrack of Our Lives
• 23:05
  Speaker 13: at Columbia Records, Janis Joplin's, Simon and Garfunkel, Earth Wind
• 23:12
  Speaker 13: and Fire, Billy, Joel, Ruce Springsteen, and then he started
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: his own Arista Records with Barry Manilow and revived Aretha
• 23:23
  Speaker 13: Franklin and Dion Warwick and Carly Simon and just had
• 23:28
  Speaker 13: hit after a hit for you know, sixty years.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Really amazing.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Now, you know, everybody in the music business, is there anybody,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: any music executive ever on the same level as Clive Davis, Well, nobody.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I can't think of anybody.
• 23:41
  Speaker 13: Well, the only person, and even he would say it,
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: I think the only person he would say was Barry.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Gordy from Motown.
• 23:50
  Speaker 13: Because and Barry was at his good friend and came
• 23:54
  Speaker 13: to his Grammy parties every year Ahmed Erdigen was at
• 23:59
  Speaker 13: Atlantic Records, but there was no one like Clive, Yeah,
• 24:02
  Speaker 13: no one.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: This is a different So Barry Gordy was strictly the
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Molltown sound. Alm at Erdigan was more, you know, that
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: was kind of like rhythm and blues kind of you know,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: up drifters kind of stuff.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Clive had an incredible range.
• 24:17
  Speaker 13: We look what I what I wrote yesterday was if
• 24:23
  Speaker 13: you realized that in nineteen seventy five he looked at
• 24:27
  Speaker 13: Barry Manilow and Patti Smith, two people who could not
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: have been more different, and signed them both up and
• 24:34
  Speaker 13: they've each lasted fifty years. I mean that's amazing. I
• 24:39
  Speaker 13: mean Patty Smith was the punk princess of nineteen seventy five,
• 24:43
  Speaker 13: and Barry Manilow was you know, complete soft rock, elevator
• 24:47
  Speaker 13: music kind of thing.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: You know, the older.
• 24:49
  Speaker 13: Women loved him, and the two of them are still
• 24:53
  Speaker 13: as big as ever. And Clive saw that, you know,
• 24:57
  Speaker 13: and earth Wind and Fired just had a documentary on
• 25:00
  Speaker 13: HBO there touring. He was the one who brought them
• 25:06
  Speaker 13: to relevance. Santana, you see Bruce Springsteen. Bruce Springsteen posted
• 25:11
  Speaker 13: a beautiful Ulisia yesterday and I'm sure he'll speak at
• 25:15
  Speaker 13: club's funeral. Billy Joel said, you know, Clive signed him,
• 25:21
  Speaker 13: and that's it. Even Simon and Garfunkle Bridge over Trouble
• 25:25
  Speaker 13: of Water would not have been a hit except that
• 25:29
  Speaker 13: Clive said, put that out as a single. And he
• 25:33
  Speaker 13: had incredible forty five RPM ears. He had gold ears
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: for listening to music and things that you would say,
• 25:43
  Speaker 13: things that you and I would say, oh, that'll be
• 25:44
  Speaker 13: a hit, and he would say, no, no, but this
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: will be a hit.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: And he knew it. He just knew it.
• 25:51
  Speaker 13: And he loved Whitney Houston and he took such good
• 25:55
  Speaker 13: care of her, and she was so sick and he
• 25:57
  Speaker 13: was so attentive to her. And he was so good
• 26:02
  Speaker 13: to all his artists, you know. And you see they're
• 26:04
  Speaker 13: posting on Twitter and Instagram. All the artists who who
• 26:09
  Speaker 13: knew him are just you know, our Ourfunkle just said
• 26:13
  Speaker 13: beautiful things about him today on social media, and you
• 26:18
  Speaker 13: know they're all the same mind.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: It's amazing, yeah, and incredible energy. You go out every
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: night to a million things. Ninety he was ninety four.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: He was already planning Fourth of July stuff, Fourth of
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: July dinners parties.
• 26:30
  Speaker 13: Oh yeah, well we just had Memorial Day.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I went.
• 26:34
  Speaker 13: I was lucky enough to go to his house with
• 26:37
  Speaker 13: your former WR celebrity Mark Michael Riedal and we went
• 26:43
  Speaker 13: up to his house and Poundridge for a Memorial Day.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: And he always does.
• 26:49
  Speaker 13: Memorial Day weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and one hundred
• 26:52
  Speaker 13: people come and stay. Some stay at his house, some
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: stay at Airbnb's whatever.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: And everyone's saying and then everyone comes to.
• 27:00
  Speaker 13: The house for barbecues and talent shows and big sit
• 27:06
  Speaker 13: down dinner. And so I was lucky. I went on
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: the Saturday night and he was in fine form.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: It was absolutely no different than the last fifty years
• 27:18
  Speaker 13: where he would, you know, just get up and introduce
• 27:21
  Speaker 13: everybody and talk about music. It was lovely. And it's
• 27:27
  Speaker 13: a huge loss. It's a huge loss because now we
• 27:31
  Speaker 13: have you know, AI music, we have you know, fake
• 27:35
  Speaker 13: singers and things, and which is it's just the opposite
• 27:39
  Speaker 13: of what he did.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Hey, the Grammy Awards, you would actually go out there
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: every year. He would have a pre Grammy party. Would
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: you say that that pre Grammy party was the single
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: most crowded room you've ever been in your life.
• 27:52
  Speaker 13: This the pre Grammy party is the night before the
• 27:55
  Speaker 13: Grammys at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. It used to be
• 27:58
  Speaker 13: at the Beverly Hills Hotel. I got kicked out because
• 28:01
  Speaker 13: they got so big. And then they would have you know,
• 28:05
  Speaker 13: the audience was packed with celebrities, and then on stage
• 28:10
  Speaker 13: he would have like fifteen different acts come up and perform,
• 28:15
  Speaker 13: you know, either current hits or past hits, and the
• 28:19
  Speaker 13: place and Nancy Pelosi would be there, and it's at
• 28:22
  Speaker 13: one point Kevin McCarthy.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Used to come.
• 28:26
  Speaker 13: It was when he was in the Congress, and lots
• 28:30
  Speaker 13: of sports stars, movie stars came. Everybody was there and
• 28:35
  Speaker 13: this was just we just he just had the fifty
• 28:38
  Speaker 13: first one. He called it the fiftieth, but it was
• 28:40
  Speaker 13: the fifty first one this past January.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 28:44
  Speaker 13: It was completely insane, and yeah, the room is totally packed.
• 28:48
  Speaker 13: The fire marshal is possibly coming in saying, you have
• 28:51
  Speaker 13: too many people in here.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: You've got to get rid of them.
• 28:54
  Speaker 13: And the security guy who runs the place, Bill Nancini,
• 28:59
  Speaker 13: who's with Clive for years, he's always like explaining to
• 29:02
  Speaker 13: the fire marshal, these are famous people.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: We can't get rid of it. And and I don't know.
• 29:08
  Speaker 13: I don't know what will happen now, because this is
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: this was like a bigger thing than the Grammys. Everyone
• 29:14
  Speaker 13: would go like I was going out, I was still
• 29:16
  Speaker 13: going out to La. I would say, well, we'll go
• 29:20
  Speaker 13: to Clive's and then of course we'll go to the Grammys.
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: You know, it's like the Grammys were the secondary thing.
• 29:28
  Speaker 13: But this is, uh, this is always what. This is
• 29:30
  Speaker 13: always what it's been for years and years and years.
• 29:33
  Speaker 13: I once went to he once had he'd love to
• 29:37
  Speaker 13: get parties and concerts. This is a long time ago
• 29:42
  Speaker 13: when Whitney Houston was really at her prime and she
• 29:45
  Speaker 13: and Aretha did a show together, a private show together
• 29:48
  Speaker 13: for him to raise money for the UJA, and no
• 29:52
  Speaker 13: one filmed it. We didn't have phones with cameras done
• 29:55
  Speaker 13: and all that stuff. And I always used to say
• 29:58
  Speaker 13: to Clive, no one filmed this. I can't believe it.
• 30:00
  Speaker 13: We're the only people who remember it. But it was
• 30:03
  Speaker 13: so amazing. But every show he did was like that.
• 30:07
  Speaker 13: He signed Prince. When Prince left Warner Brothers, he went
• 30:11
  Speaker 13: to Clive and had a big hit with him and
• 30:15
  Speaker 13: we had a listening session where we all got to
• 30:17
  Speaker 13: meet Prince.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: The other thing that Clive loved. We used to joke
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: about this.
• 30:24
  Speaker 13: You know, in the recording industry, they give you a
• 30:28
  Speaker 13: plaque if you have a gold record, right it says,
• 30:31
  Speaker 13: you know, nine million copies sold, ten million copies sold.
• 30:34
  Speaker 13: So you'd get a phone call in the afternoon Clive
• 30:37
  Speaker 13: would like you to come over to the office at
• 30:39
  Speaker 13: seven o'clock. He's going to give the Grateful Dead their
• 30:43
  Speaker 13: platinum albums.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Clive would like you to come over tomorrow.
• 30:47
  Speaker 13: Rod Stewart's getting his platinum albums gold albums, and it
• 30:51
  Speaker 13: was hysterical. You'd meet on a rooftop, you'd meet in
• 30:53
  Speaker 13: the dining room and he would have tons of media
• 30:56
  Speaker 13: come in and he would say, we're so proud to
• 31:00
  Speaker 13: give up these. I never saw so many gold records
• 31:03
  Speaker 13: given out my life, and that also went out for years.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Any word on a funeral memorial service something.
• 31:10
  Speaker 13: Like that, Now, yeah, I mean, I think it's going
• 31:13
  Speaker 13: to be at the beginning of next week. I'm not
• 31:16
  Speaker 13: sure where it's going to be. And originally, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 13: they were going to do it this week, and then
• 31:22
  Speaker 13: so many stars called in and said we want to
• 31:25
  Speaker 13: be there, that they had to put it usually, you know,
• 31:29
  Speaker 13: he was Jewish, and in the Jewish tradition you're buried
• 31:32
  Speaker 13: right away. But so many people called in and said
• 31:34
  Speaker 13: we want to be there. So I think whatever it
• 31:37
  Speaker 13: is is going to be quite a production, which is
• 31:41
  Speaker 13: exactly what he would want. I mean, he would he
• 31:43
  Speaker 13: would he would want the biggest concert or with the
• 31:46
  Speaker 13: biggest you know whatever, and with lots of speeches. You know,
• 31:51
  Speaker 13: Clives a Memorial Day up in Westchester. After the dinner
• 31:58
  Speaker 13: he showed, he said, oh, we finally found the footage
• 32:02
  Speaker 13: from Arista Record's fifteenth anniversary in nineteen eighty nine. So
• 32:07
  Speaker 13: I was the only person there besides Clive who had
• 32:09
  Speaker 13: been to this thing. And I said, I stood up
• 32:12
  Speaker 13: and I said, you know, this concert went on for
• 32:15
  Speaker 13: six hours at Radio City. It had every star you
• 32:19
  Speaker 13: can imagine, and there was no food at Radio City.
• 32:23
  Speaker 13: And at one point Deborah Mitchell, who was another gospel
• 32:26
  Speaker 13: colonist at the time, she and I ordered pizza. We
• 32:29
  Speaker 13: ordered we ordered out pizza into Radio City and sat
• 32:34
  Speaker 13: sat there because it was like, you know, Whitney and
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: Aretha and the Grateful Dead and Dion Warwick and haul
• 32:42
  Speaker 13: It Oates and Carly Simon. I mean It was incredible,
• 32:46
  Speaker 13: but just I know, we're finishing up. He was my
• 32:49

  Speaker 2: Well, it's officially summer that began on Sunday. Now it's
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: going to be raining most of the day to day.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: It should be a beautiful day tomorrow and Thursday looks
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: pretty good, and then the rain comes back probably on
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: on Friday. So we got a lot to get to
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: in the next hour. We'll get back to the Iran deal.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: We'll get its primary day to day. I know, well,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: there's a few interesting races. We'll get to that, and
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: we'll get to Maison Square Garden, the death of the
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: guy that felt what exactly happened there. We'll get to
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: that coming up right after the news. Another hour to go.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone here every day ten to noon on seven
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: ten wr SI, on seventeen WR Hey a lot I
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: get to this hour. If you're a Democratic voter, Today
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: is primary day, just Democratic primary. Some big races in
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: New York City. That fat, waddling slob, Jerry Nadler leaving,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: such a ridiculous figure, such a ridiculous guy. But he's leaving.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people running for his seat, including
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Jack Schlossburg, who's that wacko Kennedy kid. He's a son
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: of Caroline Kennedy and not the nicest person in the world.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: And then that terrible husband, Hers Schlosberg. This is their kid,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Jack Schlosberg. If you check his past his social media,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: he behaves like an apps raving lunatic on social media,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: although I think he's taken down some of those posts.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: But a nutty guy, perfect for Democrats. So he's got
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: a good shot today. Now you got Dan Goldman, the
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: congressman who's one of the most annoying guys in the world.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Mister fake news makes all kinds of false claims on
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Sunday shows that kind of a guy, but he's running
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: against Brad Lander. Now Brad Lander is just as bad,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: so I don't know. I mean, if I had a
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: pick between the let Lander and Goldman, I don't know,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: you lose either way. They're just two horrible guys, but
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: they're running against each other. The Lander, most people think,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: has a slight edge there and may win.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie endorsed a bunch of candidates, obviously crazy socialist
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: left wing kooks. But it'll be interesting to see what
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: happens tonight to see if Mom Donnie has any coattails,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: has any influence any sway with voters. So we'll find
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: out that tomorrow when this is all over. You heard
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: that story in the news about The View. The View
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: is that wacky show on ABC in the middle of
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: the daytime. It's like more like a game show. It's
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: produced as an entertainment show. It's joy behar and it
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: used to be able to name the whole cast. Can't
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: do that anymore. But the ABC is trying to get
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: it declared a news show. Now they only have It
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: used to be a well balanced show. Barbara Walters created
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: The View. Barbara Walters ran the View, and when Barbara
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Walters ran things, you'd have Democrats on, you'd have Republicans on.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Once Barbara Walters was gone, the show was hijacked by
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: the kookie left wing hosts, and now it's a very
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: left wing show, absolutely totally one sided, biased. But they
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: wanted to be declared a news show. That way they
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: can have on whoever they want, and it gives them
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: some protections. The problem is if they get it declared
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: a news show. You know, they're worried that the FCC
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: is trying to come after them and all this, but
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: once they've declared a news show, the FCC can come
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: after them even more. I don't think they've realized they
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: broadcast a lot of fake news on the View. You know,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of the crazy, wacko, totally false talking points
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: that many Democrats use are all over the View. So
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: if they get themselves declared a news show and start
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: broadcasting fake information, false information, the government can come after them.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Remember Trump has already won a massive lawsuit against ABC
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: News for false information that they broadcast. He won with
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: a sixteen million They had to pay him to make
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: that go away, So keep an eye on that fight.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: If you're a Democrat. Cover your ears for a minute,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: and I want you to hear this. You're not gonna
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: like this, you know. Let me just check it. The
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: latest oil prices drop it. He had hit seventy two,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: almost seventy three, but it's in the very very low
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: seventies per barrel. Pre war it was in the high sixties,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: so it's almost back to pre war prices. Gas will
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: be three fifty a gallon by fourth of July. It's
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: about three a national average three seventy a gallon. You
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: pay more here in New York California because that's all
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: state fees, state charges, state tax, timpting in California. But
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: it's about three seventy a gallon all over the country,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: about to hit three fifty, which is what it was
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: before the war. Did you understand that Damason Square Gardens story,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: that poor guy fell from the top off this bridge
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty feet into the seats and died.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: He was this video that has now come out of
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: the emergency responders frantically trying to save this guy. He
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: was fifty one years old. He was a dad from
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Connecticut and he worked in the energy business.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: He's married his son. They wanted to go to this concert. Actually,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: it's an energy management company, smart Con Solutions. He was
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: director of operations. They're from Nyanic, Connecticut, and he was
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: celebrating his twenty fifth wedding anniversary. Oh, his wife was
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: with him too. With his wife, they went to the
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Goose concert and he fell from what they call the
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Chase Bridge because Chase, the bank Chase is a sponsor.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: It's now called the Chase Bridge. Used to be called
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: the skybridge. But you got the seats, you got all
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: that stuff, and then way up above it's like a
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: it's like a bridge that has seats on it and
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: you can watch from up there, and it has like
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: a little glass wall that's about i don't know four
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: four feet high five feet high four feet high. And
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: apparently he wanted to go to the back bathroom. He
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: told his wife he'd be back. Started walking along that
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: very very long skybridge, and something happened and he fell
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: over it. I mean, it is dark, there's a concert
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: going on, and he fell over it, and the wife
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: was getting worried. Ten or fifteen minutes he hadn't come
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: back from the bathroom, and you know, you go to
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: those concerts. That band is so loud you can't hear anything,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: so nobody heard all the commotion down below. Emergency workers
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: frantically trying to save the guy plunged one hundred and
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: fifty feet to his death and they couldn't save him.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: They took him to the hospital where he was declared dead,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: and then they realized he was with people. They had
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: to go find his wife and tell her what happened.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable tragedy. So this skybridge, it's a walkway that suspended
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: seven hundred and sixty four feet up above the stage,
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: but the lower level below is about one hundred and
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: fifty feet. The next level down is about one hundred
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: and fifty feet and that's where he fell. Just horrible,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: horrible story. Hey, if you didn't get in on the
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: SpaceX ipo and you wanted to get in, it was
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: about what was it, one thirty five debuted at and
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: it went up. It's come down a little, it's down
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: about sixteen percent because SpaceX has declared they're going to
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: take on a lot of debt to finance new stuff.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: They're going to raise about twenty billion in debt. They're
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: going to sell bonds. They want to spend this money
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: on AI. You know, you don't realize how much this
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: AI cost. These companies mean to develop all the AI
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: stuff they need, they got to go out and spend
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: twenty thirty forty billion on AI. So stock closed at
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: one fifty four yesterday, which gives it a market cap
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: now two trillion, two trillion dollars this company. Hey, remember
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: we're talking about the golf tournament Long Island Shinnacock, the
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: US Open. How bad the fans are in Long Island.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: They're not used to a golf tournament where even the
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: announcer whispers, you know, the golf announcer actually.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Talks like this.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: You're supposed to whisper at the golf. To me, this
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: was your noise. But it's Long Island. So they hoot
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: and holler. The fans yell and scream, they heckle the players.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Apparently the golf channel, the analyst said, Long Island fans
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: put a stain on the game. They're unruly behavior. You
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: know how when Tiger would hit the ball, they go
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: get the hold. Well, these fans were young getting a bunker.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: They were just hackling and yelling and screaming and Apparently
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: there's a movement within golf world among players and others
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: to ban Long Island from any having any more golf tournaments.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: I love Long Island, but they do get a little
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: crazy those fans out there, So there might be I'll
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: see where this goes. With all the people in golf
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: pushing for this, there might be a ban on any
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: more tournaments in Long Island. They just can't take the
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: fans out there. Now there's a new phenomenon. Once in
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: a while, someone would get very very hot and people
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: would wait in the line. You know, if somebody had
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: the best pizza, it'd be a little bit of a line,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: if somebody had the best something, it's a little bit
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: of a line. Well, now with Instagram, and this is
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: really taken off in the last year. Something instantly becomes
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: an Instagram phenomenon. Like you know Ferrara Pizza in Brooklyn,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: it's always very good. You'd have to wait. Well, now
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: with Instagram, like eighty seven thousand influencers post it and
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: it's not just a line. It's a line of two blocks.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: And then they post a video of the line every
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: day and when people see the line, it goes even crazier.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: And it's been going on now for a year where
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: it just gets crazier and crazier and crazier. Bubbies in Tribeca.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Those great pancakes, those those James Beard pancakes with all
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: the stuff, the blueberries on this, they're very good. They're
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: not the greatest pancakes, but they're very good. And sometimes
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: you have to wait ten minutes. Well, now with Instagram,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: everybody's put up those pancakes, and now the line is
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: a two and a half hour wait. And this is
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: happening everywhere, all over the place, with all kinds of things.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: The latest was dot cake. Butterfield's Markets starts selling the
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: dot cake. You gotta line up and stay in line
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: for two hours to get the stupid it's little cake
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: and a cup with sprinkles all over it. And the
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: line is the thing now. And you know where a
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: line used to be considered an ugly thing, a bad thing.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Remember the Seinfeld episode where they had to wait for
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: the whole episode. They'll wait for like a half hour
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: in a Chinese restaurant to sit down. It was something awful.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: They were miserable, they were frustrated, they were complaining. Well,
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: this Instagram TikTok for nonomenon has changed everything. Now people
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: enjoy the line. The line is the thing. They are
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: looking for a line to stand in. It's no longer
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: a bad thing. When they see whatever place is the
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: hot thing with a line and a two hour weight,
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: people flock to go be in that two hour weight,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: whether it's dot cakes, whether it's certain pastries, whether it's
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: a certain pasta. So it's no longer about convenience, it's
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: about fomo fear of missing out. So the weight itself
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: has become part of the product. The line is the destination,
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: according to this psychological analysis, in this concrete jungle that
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: is now obsessed with exclusivity, scarcity has become a status symbol.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: If everyone can just walk in and get it, it's
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: not special. If you've got to wait for two hours
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: in a line, then it's special. Then it's important. So
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: and it's easy to do. You know that dot cake
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: it's made by a company in Rosalin called dot Cake Butterfields,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: and it's only two three days a week they have it.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: You gotta wait in the line, they give you a number.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: It's an incredible phenomenon to watch and then you get it.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: It's Okay, it's not that great. And if you go
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: into just the regular Butterfields Bakery section, they got fifty
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: things that are better than that dot cake. If you're
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: in Connecticut, just go to Stu Leonards. He makes his
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: own version of It's probably actually higher quality. There's no line,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: you just walk in and get it. But that's not good.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: You gotta have everybody wants this line. If there's no
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: line around the block, if there's no two hour wait,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: can't be good. So hey, my friend Mitch Modell had
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: a big press conference yesterday to announce he's making a
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: comeback online. Remember Modell's Modell's Sporting Goods that were everywhere.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: There were one hundred and fifty three models all over
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: the New York area. They had this great jingle that
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: it was just everybody knows this O.
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: God.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: And then Modell's went out of business. This is what happens.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: A lot of things happened. People started, you know, most
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: of the stuff you could buy in a sporting goods
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: store people now buy online. So retail was dying. And
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: then that Dick's Sporting Goods came along and put every local,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: regional thing out of business. Now you might go online
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: and see, well, wait, there's still a Model's. It's online.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: It's not Model's. There's a company that when a big
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: block chain store, you know block stores, when they go
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: out of business, this company comes along and buys the names.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: So if you go online you'll see, oh, there's a
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: bed Bath and Beyond is still here. It's online. It's
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: not bed Bath and Beyond. Somebody bought the name and
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: they're using it online. Same thing with Modell's, and there
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: were a lot of stores that are no long around.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: This company buys the names, turns it into a website.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: So it's not the real Model's. But Mitch Modell himself
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: is back. He's selling The first thing is a Nix
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: York T shirt. Just go to Mitchellmodels dot com, Mitchellmodells
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: dot com. You know about the algae in the pool,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: President Trump, the Reflecting Pool, which is a great monument
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: in Washington, DC, was all decayed.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: Ugly.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: It was a mess, and you know it's just like
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: the womanrink. When the government tries to fix something costs
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: two hundred million dollars, takes twenty years. Trump got it
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: fixed in like six weeks, you know, for like one
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand that was it. So same thing with the
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: reflecting pool. Now this is a much bigger project. It's
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: much bigger than the woman rink. But gotta remember Donald
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Trump is a professional pool builder. He has dozens and
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: dozens and dozens and dozens of resorts all over the world.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: He's built hundreds of swimming pools. He knows how to
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: do it. So he rebuilt the thing, and then they
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: like to attack it. It's the wrong color, it's the
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: wrong shade of blue, it's whatever. And then it's got
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: al all over. There's algae all over the place. So
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: they're finding that people were throwing things into the pool
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: to create the algae. Apparently you can throw fertilizer in there,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: it'll create algae. And people were getting in there, and
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: there was even one guy who's an Olympic canoe champ
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: was in this gut in the pool and was cutting
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: up the liner. About sixteen people have been arrested. They
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: will be prosecuted like crazy. But reporters love to attack Trump.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: You spent millions, ten million on the pool, and it's
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: not right. But they never mentioned that Obama had spent
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: like a hundred million and got nowhere. There's Trump fighting
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: with a reporter.
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: Brock Fussey and Obama. Have you ever heard of them? Yeah,
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: he spent two years and over one hundred million dollars
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: when trying to fix it. You know what happened to
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: it never even opened. He took the water for the river.
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: You know about that, right, It turned out to be
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: putrid and it destroyed the whole thing. Spent over one
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: hundred million him and Biden together spent one hundred and
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: forty seven million dollars.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the problem is these reporters don't realize how
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: much Trump knows about construction, about building. If you watch
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: the whole exchange, it's too long to play, it's like
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: ten minutes. But he's trying to attack trum. Trump went
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: into such excruciating detail on the construction of that pool.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: He knew every little thing. There's a great news piece
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: somewhere where the guy's walking around the Trump course in
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: the clubhouse and he tries to trick Trump. Kind of
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: glasses that and Trump went into detail about exactly what
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: kind of glass, how it's made, how it's installed. You
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: could point to anything in his building, like the piece
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: of molding up there. He could tell you for ten
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: minutes of exactly how that molding is made, where it
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: comes from. He knows this stuff. But this is the
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: new thing now, the pool, picking on the pool, the algae.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: It's if you watch MS now or CNN, you'll see
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: ten minute segments on the algae in the pool. Hey,
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: Next.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten, Live from.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: The WR Live Back Studios, Mark Simon, that's me.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Let's go to uh Jim in Connecticut. Jim, how you doing.
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: Pretty good? Mark.
• 51:20
  Speaker 9: I'm a big fan for many years, and I thoroughly
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: enjoyed your show back in the nineties about Frank Sinatra.
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: But I have a question for you about maybe some
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: of your contemporaries back then. Yes, whatever happened to Jay
• 51:30
  Speaker 9: Diamond and whatever happened to Lynn Samuels.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Lynn Samuels passed away, I'd say two thousand and five
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: or six. Yeah, Lynn Samuels died. Jay Diamond I haven't
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: seen a long time. I remember what he was doing.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: I left the radio, but I don't know what he's doing.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Lost touch with him.
• 51:52
  Speaker 9: Oh okay, Yeah, that was it, And so continue success. Mark,
• 51:57
  Speaker 9: I love the show.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: And everybody other names where I have something to say
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: then Sam.
• 52:03
  Speaker 9: Can't think of it in here off the top of
• 52:05
  Speaker 9: my head right now. Mark, but you are the best
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: of the best.
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Thanks a lot.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: Thanks take care. Let's go to Justin and fair Lawn. Justin,
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 52:13
  Speaker 9: Oh, pleasure to speak with you.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: Mark.
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: Race show is always When you were talking about the
• 52:18
  Speaker 9: long lines for food, I'm thinking of an episode with
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: the Soup Nazi. I think I might have been influenced
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: by that. What are your thoughts, Well.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. The Soup Nazi, it was right
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: up there over in the fifty fifth had the greatest
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: soup in the world. But you waited in line for
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes, not two hours. But that's it's a good point.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: There was no Instagram back then. Soup Nazi was in
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: the nineties, and had there been an Instagram, it was
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: just a little stand. It wasn't even a store. It
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: was just a little tiny stand with the Soup Nazi
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: and two assistants behind him, and he would personally like
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: do all the soup himself with that ladle and put
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: it in a cup. But if there were Instagram. He
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: would have had three four hour lines. It would have
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: gone nuts. So we had all this great stuff back then,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: but no Instagram to cause massive lines. Let's go to
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: Rich and Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing?
• 53:14
  Speaker 9: Hey?
• 53:15
  Speaker 7: Thanks? Mark, I wouldn't wait fifteen minutes on line to stamps.
• 53:18
  Speaker 7: These people dead are kind of people that, when you're
• 53:20
  Speaker 7: sitting on the beach all by yourself and there's nobody around,
• 53:22
  Speaker 7: will take that chance and sit fifteen feet from you
• 53:24
  Speaker 7: because nobody can stand to be alone. You know, it's
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: funny you mentioned I can't believe I heard the Grateful
• 53:30
  Speaker 7: Dead a couple of times on the show today. You
• 53:32
  Speaker 7: should ask and Calter next time she's on. She's a
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: big dead head and been looking at them and following
• 53:38
  Speaker 7: them for a long time.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: But Grateful Dead, what the hell is it about them?
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 53:45
  Speaker 7: Why they're the best cover band that ever lived because
• 53:47
  Speaker 7: they wouldn't even play the role music sometimes. But as
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: far as golf, the long Island walk, how can you
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: can screen your head off when a guy's trying to
• 53:54
  Speaker 7: hit one hundred mile an hour fastball, but you can't
• 53:56
  Speaker 7: say a word when a guy sitting the ball is
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: sitting still.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a good point. No, it's not a bad point.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: It might make golf more interesting if they let the
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: fans yellings.
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, as far as Jay Diamond, my buddy Bob Detect
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: New York City detective live in San Diego. I think
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: he talks to Jay Diamond all the time. I think
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: those guys are buddies.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: So all right, Well, that's good, good to know he's well,
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: all right, thanks for calling. Yeah, I don't know. You know,
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: golf is always a very quiet game where they announcer
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: would whisper a few I don't know if you start yelling,
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: and I guess the idea was it distracts the player.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: But so what so what if Aaron Judge can swing distracted.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Let these guys swing distracted. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: we only got a minute.
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: Okay, Good morning, Marco, Morning Marcus. Since the reflecting pool
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: is not a swimming pool proper, Trump could just use
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: anti fowling paint, right Rich that they use on the
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: bottom of boats, and it releases kappa and the algae
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: doesn't grow. That's what boats use on the bottom. So
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: the bottom as it gets fout, Mom, I'm sure you
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: didn't hear the opening speech that this woman gave it
• 55:07
  Speaker 6: the opening of the brap Obama Museum. She praised about
• 55:10
  Speaker 6: Valerie Jarrett. Yeah, well, yeah, she was talking about all
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: the Indian.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: Tribes that stolen land and all that.
• 55:17
  Speaker 6: So why didn't they named the museum the Ba Ba
• 55:21
  Speaker 6: Barapoboba Museum, name all the tribes that they stole the
• 55:26
  Speaker 6: land from.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: I like that? All right, Vincent, great call, Thanks for calling.

  Speaker 2: Very good guy, excellent. You know the Yeah, first interview
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: I ever did, I was a little twenty one year
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: old baby DJ first celebrity interview ever was Gene Simmons,
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: and he couldn't have been nicer. He could see I
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: didn't know what the hell I was doing was fair.
• 56:31
  Speaker 12: And you know, he's the guy goes against the rock industry.
• 56:38
  Speaker 12: He plays.
• 56:42
  Speaker 6: And they accepted.
• 56:43
  Speaker 12: He's one of the few that doesn't get punished for
• 56:47
  Speaker 12: his h i'd say traditional views. I don't think he's
• 56:52
  Speaker 12: a conservative, but.
• 56:56
  Speaker 6: They like him out there.
• 56:57
  Speaker 12: He's certainly The interview is pretty all over the place.
• 57:03
  Speaker 12: You'll enjoy it.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it comes out tomorrow Thursday.
• 57:07
  Speaker 12: Yeah, we drop it on Thursday.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: Well that'll be great. Hey, what is ABC the network?
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: They're running these commercials all over ABC TV, but the
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: SEC is trying to shut us down. What the hell
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: are they talking about?
• 57:21
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I was surprised that Disney took this tack. They're
• 57:27
  Speaker 12: trying to convince ABC viewers that the government wants to
• 57:31
  Speaker 12: program ABC, and they're taken out a whole bunch of
• 57:35
  Speaker 12: stuff on WABC TV in New York and their other
• 57:39
  Speaker 12: owned affiliated stations. I was surprised. I mean, why do
• 57:44
  Speaker 12: you want to continue to antagonize the Trump administration. What
• 57:49
  Speaker 12: people don't understand is this the four networks per se, ABC, CBS, NBC,
• 57:58
  Speaker 12: and PBA. They use the public airways, so we pay,
• 58:06
  Speaker 12: we the people, we pay for their corporations. Now Cable
• 58:12
  Speaker 12: does it because cable is something that you choose to buy,
• 58:18
  Speaker 12: or any of the social media stuff you choose it.
• 58:22
  Speaker 12: I want this, here's my money, and then it comes
• 58:25
  Speaker 12: into your house, not the Big four. So the the
• 58:28
  Speaker 12: government has some regulation over those four operations. And for
• 58:34
  Speaker 12: Disney to say that it's fair or that it's doing
• 58:39
  Speaker 12: a public service by hiring a bunch of Trump assassins,
• 58:43
  Speaker 12: and I mean that in a figurative way, not literally.
• 58:47
  Speaker 12: But they every day they come in and they try
• 58:50
  Speaker 12: to tear them up, and all you would have to
• 58:52
  Speaker 12: do if you were the CEO of did he says,
• 58:54
  Speaker 12: you know, look, I don't mind you tearing them up,
• 58:57
  Speaker 12: but we're going to have somebody that supports them too.
• 59:00
  Speaker 12: They don't do that, and so therefore the federal government,
• 59:05
  Speaker 12: the fc C, is saying this is an abuse. You're
• 59:10
  Speaker 12: taking the taxpayer money using the airwaves that are public
• 59:15
  Speaker 12: to brutalize a political party and a president of the
• 59:20
  Speaker 12: United States. We're not going to let you do that.
• 59:23
  Speaker 12: And that's what the controversy is all about.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, Also the View they're trying to get themselves
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: declared a news program.
• 59:33
  Speaker 12: Well, they are a news program under the Disney banner
• 59:37
  Speaker 12: because of Barbara Walters. And so Barbara Walters was the
• 59:41
  Speaker 12: execut producer of the View and she was a bonafide journalist,
• 59:47
  Speaker 12: and so they slapped the show under the budget. It's
• 59:52
  Speaker 12: all about money of ABC News. They pay Barbara Sowary,
• 59:57
  Speaker 12: they pay any travel all that. So that has been
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 12: that way since very beginning. But what happened was when
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 12: miss Walters passed, then the loons took over. Yeah, and
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 12: now it's a it's crazy land there. And again, who's
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 12: running Disney? Do you have eyes and ears mine? It's ridiculous.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: It used to be a normal balance show. You were
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: on that many times, weren't you. They used to have
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: you on.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I had no problems once Walters was there. Woody
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 12: Goldbert once send me flowers because she likes something I said.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 12: They are has always been a problem. Nasty, absolutely nasty
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 12: human being. But the others weren't you know, in the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 12: hate zone. They were all liberal, even Barbara was liberal,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 12: but they didn't push it, push it, push it, and
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 12: they would bring in people like me, we give it
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 12: another side to it. Of course, Goldberg and Baylor walked
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 12: off the stage and I was on the program. At
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 12: least I got booked.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: So, hey, what's happening in the UK? The Prime Minister out,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: Now what does this mean for the rest of us?
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 12: So I went over to London three weeks ago to
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 12: do a special for News Nation entitled the Siege of
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 12: London could be the Siege of the UK. And what
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 12: this is all about is England is a country or
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 12: the UK that includes northern Ireland. Where else Scotland seventy
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 12: million people Okay, we have three point fifty here, seventy
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 12: million people, out of whom immigration now is about fifteen
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 12: to twenty percent because they let everybody in. And it
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 12: was I flew to London from Cork, Ireland and on
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 12: a air Lingers jet, I landed, I was in the
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 12: car in I would say six minutes. There were no customs,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 12: no passport control, nothing, what you just walked right through
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 12: right into the parking lone. Amazing and I was stunned.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 12: I've never seen that in I've been eighty six countries.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 12: Nobody checked anything. And so millions of migrants, mostly from
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 12: the Middle East and North Africa and Pakistan and that
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 12: area of South Asia have come to England.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 6: But here's the rub.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 12: As soon as they get on English soil, they get
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 12: all the entitlements from the socialistic society. They have free
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 12: medical care. So you are granny up in the midlands
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 12: of England and you have a condition and you're used
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 12: to seeing your doctor every two weeks, you can't see
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 12: your doctor for two months now because all the appointments
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 12: are booked by the migrants. They're going nuts. People are
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 12: going absolutely crazy. Sixty Sharia courts in UK now six
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 12: zero Sharia courts. There's civil courts, but that means you
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 12: can marry to your cousin, you know, you can do
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 12: all this crazy stuff, and the British government doesn't get involved.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 12: They let the Muslims do the civil stuff theirselves. I mean,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 12: nobody's any seen anything like it. That's what collapsed the
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 12: labor government in England. Because I lived in England way
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 12: back for a year's totally one hundred percent different place.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: So the Prime ministers. Does this mean this is the
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: beginning of the end of all this nonsense.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 6: No, they can't fix it.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 12: So to be another guy in there, Andy, somebody I
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 12: don't even know, so Sturmer's out, so Andy from Manchester
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 12: sounds like a radio caller. He's supposed to be going
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 12: to be added a Labor party. But they can't fix
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 12: it because there's just too many migrants there. Although in
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 12: the EU they just passed a law. I guess it's
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 12: a law. I don't know. Their system is so crazy
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 12: where they're gonna fast track migrant deportations. I didn't get
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 12: any coverage here in the United States. That happened over
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 12: the weekend, and it was a big vote. It was
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 12: a landslide vote because all the countries in the EU
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 12: are suffering the same maladies because they're all socialist countries
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 12: giving away everything. And when you have millions of migrants
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 12: coming in, then your indigenous people don't get as much
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 12: as they used to get.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: So but if if let's say, in Nigel Farage gets
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: in and he finds himself a Tom Holman type, because
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: they can fix it at some.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 12: Point, I'd be really hard with the British court system.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 12: You know, he can say he wants to do it,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 12: but I tell you they're entrenched. The Mogans are entrenched,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 12: they be in court. It would take forever. They'd be hiding.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 12: As I said, nobody knows who's there. They didn't know
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 12: it was in the country.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 6: Fish coming didn't know.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 12: I could have done anything, all right. And then when
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 12: I left, nobody nobody knew either. It was only when
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 12: I got to Kennedy Airport they said who are you?
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 12: And I said, you know who I am? And the
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 12: guy laughed. And so it would be very, very hard
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 12: to round them all up, that's for sure.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: This is very up setting.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: Well, Bill O'Reilly, we're out of time, but hey, everybody
