Speaker 1: The Mark Simonia on wor.
0:04
Speaker 2: Well. The death of Lindsey Graham big surprise for everyone,
0:08
Speaker 2: the President, President Trump. Lindsey Graham was supposed to be
0:13
Speaker 2: on Meet the Press Sunday. He died Saturday night, so
0:15
Speaker 2: President Trump agreed to call in and replace him as
0:19
Speaker 2: the guest, the opening guests for the first ten minutes
0:21
Speaker 2: on Meet the Press, and then since then, he's done
0:24
Speaker 2: a lot of shows. President Trump even agreed to do
0:28
Speaker 2: CNN it will go on with Jake Tapper. He said,
0:32
Speaker 2: we'd like to CNN get on a more normal path,
0:36
Speaker 2: straighten itself out. He's actually talked to a lot of
0:41
Speaker 2: TV shows. Who does he want to replace Lindsey Graham?
0:45
Speaker 2: Now here's the way it works. In South Carolina. The
0:47
Speaker 2: governor appoints a replacement that will fill out the term
0:51
Speaker 2: serve till January. Then in November they'll have a special
0:56
Speaker 2: election for the permanent replacement. But the governor of South Carolina,
1:01
Speaker 2: close to Trump McMaster, will appoint a replacement. Who does
1:05
Speaker 2: Donald Trump think who would he want?
1:07
Speaker 3: Well, I have somebody that I think would be great,
1:09
Speaker 3: but I don't want to say it now because it just,
1:13
Speaker 3: you know, it's too soon. With Lindsey.
1:15
Speaker 4: I don't want to even talk about anybody, but I
1:17
Speaker 4: do have somebody that I think is really good.
1:20
Speaker 2: Who does he want? This may surprise you. Take a guess. No, No,
1:28
Speaker 2: his choice that he will recommend is Lindsay Graham's sister,
1:33
Speaker 2: Darlene Graham Nordone. You heard the story that he's had
1:38
Speaker 2: a rough life. Lindsey Graham. He was in college and
1:41
Speaker 2: while in college, his mother died, then his father died.
1:45
Speaker 2: Both parents died while he was in college. He then
1:48
Speaker 2: adopted his sister, who was thirteen at the time, and
1:51
Speaker 2: raised her. And pretty courageous guy, Lindsey Graham. So the
1:57
Speaker 2: sister would be Donald Trump's choice. So we'll see how that.
2:01
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens with that. This legionnaire's disease. What
2:07
Speaker 2: do you need to know, Well, it's around the Upper
2:10
Speaker 2: east Side. They found it in about thirty different water towers.
2:14
Speaker 2: Above the building is that water tower where the water
2:17
Speaker 2: sits that they're used for the building, the air conditioning,
2:21
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. It's actually now thirty one
2:23
Speaker 2: buildings on the Upper east Side. One of them is
2:26
Speaker 2: the Guggenheim Museum. Now, the problem if it's in the
2:28
Speaker 2: water tower and gets in the water system of the building.
2:32
Speaker 2: It can run through the building, and it can run
2:34
Speaker 2: through the air conditioning system in the vapor in the mist,
2:37
Speaker 2: and that's where you can catch it. So if it's
2:40
Speaker 2: in the water tower of the Guggenheim Museum, you would
2:43
Speaker 2: think they'd close it, but they have not closed the museum. Now,
2:48
Speaker 2: how does it get in the water tower. Well, it's
2:50
Speaker 2: lee Chanella, which is a bacteria, and it can just
2:53
Speaker 2: naturally happen in a body of water, but it usually
2:57
Speaker 2: happens in very high temperatures when the water gets really
3:01
Speaker 2: really warm, and still that's where it can form. Now,
3:06
Speaker 2: you remember the heat wave of July fourth week. It
3:11
Speaker 2: was those three days that probably really really really got
3:14
Speaker 2: this going. So in that kind of heat, that's where
3:17
Speaker 2: you got to worry about Legionnaire's disease. It's formed in
3:19
Speaker 2: thirty one of these buildings. Eighteen of the properties have
3:23
Speaker 2: already cleaned and disinfected their water cooling towers. The other
3:28
Speaker 2: twelve buildings were ordered to complete it quickly. Hopefully they've
3:32
Speaker 2: got it done. That would bring it up to thirty.
3:35
Speaker 2: The museum, I'm sure is on top of it. At
3:38
Speaker 2: least forty six people caught it in those buildings. And
3:43
Speaker 2: here's the bad news. They've just discovered it in a
3:45
Speaker 2: water tower on the Upper west Side. That's the first
3:49
Speaker 2: sign of it there. The city has tested one hundred
3:52
Speaker 2: and eighty three cooling towers on the Upper east Side
3:56
Speaker 2: since the outbreak, which started July second. So this is
4:01
Speaker 2: where you need a real mayor, not a first time
4:03
Speaker 2: guy who's in his first job, and you need a
4:05
Speaker 2: real task force to get out there and really really
4:09
Speaker 2: start checking these water towers, these cooling towers. But hopefully
4:13
Speaker 2: they'll get on top of it. But again, the first
4:16
Speaker 2: report on the Upper west Side has happened. That's not
4:21
Speaker 2: good news. Hey, FIFA, here's some good news. FIFA is
4:28
Speaker 2: over on Sunday. Thank god, it's enough with this FIFA.
4:33
Speaker 2: FIFA is over Sunday night. This is I don't know
4:37
Speaker 2: what do you call this playoff week or final round,
4:41
Speaker 2: this round, that round, and then Sunday night it's it.
4:44
Speaker 2: It will be the final game and then they won't
4:47
Speaker 2: get the hell o here. Of course they'll take with
4:50
Speaker 2: them all those tourists. And that's a lot of money
4:52
Speaker 2: being spent in New York. But we always get plenty
4:54
Speaker 2: of tourists. But it'll put things back to normal. It's
4:58
Speaker 2: happened to me a number of times. I'm walking by
5:00
Speaker 2: a restaurant. I see it's mobbed. It's packed. People can't
5:04
Speaker 2: even get in the looking in the window, and I said, well,
5:05
Speaker 2: this must be And then I get up close I
5:07
Speaker 2: realize it's because the restaurant has a lot of TVs
5:10
Speaker 2: with the soccer on, and they're all watching. It's some
5:12
Speaker 2: even staring through the window. I don't know what the
5:14
Speaker 2: hell they're looking at it. You can't tell one team
5:16
Speaker 2: from the other. Hey, tonight, it's All Star break. All
5:20
Speaker 2: Star Game. Tonight is home run Derby. That's probably the
5:24
Speaker 2: best event in baseball. Let's be honest. What do you
5:26
Speaker 2: want to see more than anything else? A home run?
5:30
Speaker 2: In fact, I would just make that a sport home
5:33
Speaker 2: run derby every night. It's a great thing to watch.
5:35
Speaker 2: So that's tonight. Dairy Queen. I love Dairy Queen. I'm
5:42
Speaker 2: a big Dairy Queen fan. It's delicious. There's nothing better
5:46
Speaker 2: than a Dairy Queen blizzard. Warren Buffett went to Dairy
5:49
Speaker 2: Queen one day. Was so good he bought the whole company.
5:51
Speaker 2: He's owned it for decades and decades and decades, but
5:57
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of a meltdown there and they've
5:59
Speaker 2: closed it at least forty six locations. Texas took the
6:03
Speaker 2: biggest hit. Alaska saw three dairy Queens closed down now
6:08
Speaker 2: that I don't see, Like remember the heat wave. If
6:11
Speaker 2: you were walking by a dairy Queen in a heat wave,
6:12
Speaker 2: you had to get at one of those blizzards there.
6:15
Speaker 2: But if you're in Alaska, I think the last thing
6:16
Speaker 2: you'd want is ice cream in the middle of ice everywhere.
6:22
Speaker 2: Who needs ice cream in Alaska? I think hot chocolate
6:25
Speaker 2: business would do better there, but they only have one
6:28
Speaker 2: left in the whole state, Dairy Queen. You know, Dairy
6:31
Speaker 2: Queen actually is considered the pioneer of soft serve ice cream.
6:35
Speaker 2: Now it's everywhere everywhere soft serve, but it was Dairy
6:39
Speaker 2: Queen that really pioneered that nineteen forty in Illinois. Buffet
6:44
Speaker 2: bought it in nineteen ninety eight. There's almost eight thousand locations,
6:47
Speaker 2: so it's still doing pretty well. New Blizzard flavors strawberry, mango, Mochi,
6:56
Speaker 2: Mexican hot chocolate, and that sounds so great. He's speaking
7:01
Speaker 2: to meet the press and all those kind of shows.
7:02
Speaker 2: When you're watching on Sunday, they always open with these
7:06
Speaker 2: big guests, you know, like with Lindsey Graham, it was
7:08
Speaker 2: Donald Trump was the first guest, Benjamin nuttyaw who's the
7:11
Speaker 2: second guest. The third segment, and this is almost every
7:16
Speaker 2: week on these shows, Sunday shows, the third segment Adam
7:20
Speaker 2: Schiff and Roe Kanna, These two low lifes. Adam Shift,
7:26
Speaker 2: that lying, rotten, pencilneck, vicious, hate filled guy. He's just
7:31
Speaker 2: there to attack Trump. He'll call Trump all kinds of
7:33
Speaker 2: names and accuse him of everything. So they love having
7:36
Speaker 2: them on. Then this Row Kanna popped up about a
7:38
Speaker 2: year ago. He's like the Indian version of Adam Shift.
7:41
Speaker 2: So these two guys, if you're watching the Sunday shows,
7:44
Speaker 2: you watch Meet the Press every week it's Row Conna
7:47
Speaker 2: and Adam Schiff as if they're major figures in Congress.
7:53
Speaker 2: I guess they've become major figures because they keep putting
7:55
Speaker 2: them on the Sunday shows. But they are actually two
7:58
Speaker 2: of the nothingest, most insigtignificant nobody's in Congress. They're not
8:03
Speaker 2: known for anything there. They've done nothing, accomplished nothing. He
8:06
Speaker 2: can't point to any legislation or anything these two guys
8:09
Speaker 2: have done. Yet there they are on every Sunday show
8:13
Speaker 2: every week. They're on CNN, they're on MSNBC. It never stops.
8:17
Speaker 2: Why because they'll call Trump more names than anybody else.
8:21
Speaker 2: So they've made a career. Usually you get ahead in
8:25
Speaker 2: Congress by famous initiatives or bills or legislation or taking
8:30
Speaker 2: a stance on some issue. But these guys did it
8:33
Speaker 2: just attacking Trump. It's a strange world. Now they speaking
8:37
Speaker 2: of Rocanna. He went to Israel. Now here's the most
8:41
Speaker 2: anti Israel, anti semiticay. And what the hell is he
8:44
Speaker 2: doing in Israel except looking for trouble. So he's accusing
8:51
Speaker 2: Israel of all kinds of things. The Israeli forces detained
8:54
Speaker 2: them unlawfully knowing him. He was somewhere he shouldn't have been.
8:59
Speaker 2: But the other other thing was, as long as he
9:01
Speaker 2: was there, they invited him to meet with the former
9:06
Speaker 2: hostages and survivors of the horrific Hamas attack on October seventh.
9:12
Speaker 2: Now what politician wouldn't take up that offer. You're in Israel,
9:18
Speaker 2: they offer to have a meeting with you. You can
9:20
Speaker 2: meet the hostages and the survivors of October seventh. Ro
9:25
Speaker 2: Kanna turned it down, absolutely not. Wouldn't talk to them,
9:27
Speaker 2: wouldn't talk to those people. What a low life. Now,
9:31
Speaker 2: this anti Semitism has taken over the Democratic Party is
9:35
Speaker 2: a big problem for some people. If you're ramam Manuel,
9:40
Speaker 2: and for about a year now he's been looking at
9:42
Speaker 2: running for president, plotting and scheming is how he could
9:46
Speaker 2: run in twenty twenty eight. So he's Jewish. What do
9:49
Speaker 2: you do about that in the anti Semitic Democratic Party. Well,
9:52
Speaker 2: he went over to Israel last week. Well how's that help? Well,
9:57
Speaker 2: because he went over there and started denouncing Israel in Israel.
10:01
Speaker 2: So that's the thing with today's Democratic Party. You got
10:04
Speaker 2: to look as antisemitic as you can look to get
10:08
Speaker 2: anywhere in today's democratic world, even if you're Jewish like
10:11
Speaker 2: Ram em Manuel, and shame on him for even doing that.
10:15
Speaker 2: And you know, if you're a normal Democrat, a normal
10:18
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton type of Democrat, your enemy is Ram Emmanuel,
10:22
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer, Hakim Jefferys, Nancy Pelosi. The leadership that caved in,
10:27
Speaker 2: that surrendered your party, handed the keys over to these crazies. Hey,
10:32
Speaker 2: you want a TV studio there's a great one for sale.
10:35
Speaker 2: The two best in Los Angeles or the world for
10:38
Speaker 2: that matter, was NBC Burbank. That's where the Tonight Show
10:43
Speaker 2: came from. That's where everything came from. Hollywood Squares, Flip Wilson,
10:47
Speaker 2: the Dean Martin Shall, NBC, the Big Laugh in the
10:51
Speaker 2: Big Studios in Burbank. The other big that's gone now,
10:54
Speaker 2: it's been bought and transformed into all kinds of things.
10:58
Speaker 2: But the other one was CBS Television City in Hollywood,
11:02
Speaker 2: where the Match Game came from, where Carol Burnett came from.
11:06
Speaker 2: CBS Television City in Hollywood. Well that's gone too. CBS left,
11:10
Speaker 2: and then somebody bought it, and somebody else bought it.
11:12
Speaker 2: The current owner apparently a huge amount of debt, so
11:18
Speaker 2: they're going to sell Television City in Hollywood. It's not
11:22
Speaker 2: so much the owner's fault. This is the problem in Hollywood.
11:25
Speaker 2: There's very little production there anymore, for a couple of reasons. One,
11:29
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom and all those crazy left wingers running California
11:33
Speaker 2: and Hollywood have let the place become a war zone.
11:37
Speaker 2: It's a terrible place to live and work now. And
11:40
Speaker 2: the other thing is the unions in Hollywood. The cost,
11:43
Speaker 2: so a lot of TV is filmed somewhere else. A
11:46
Speaker 2: lot of US film. Didn't believe it. That's cheaper in
11:48
Speaker 2: New York. Sometimes a lot of it's filmed in Toronto
11:50
Speaker 2: or other cities. It's just cheaper. So there's a lot
11:53
Speaker 2: less production in Hollywood. That's why they don't need NBC
11:57
Speaker 2: in Burbank anymore. And that's why Televisions the new owner.
12:01
Speaker 2: It's beautiful studios, they're magnificent, but they couldn't find enough
12:04
Speaker 2: work to keep the place going. So it's up for sale. Now.
12:08
Speaker 2: Someday they might get a real mayor in New York,
12:11
Speaker 2: hopefully here too, and turn it around. But it's up
12:15
Speaker 2: for sale.
12:16
Speaker 1: Hey.
12:16
Speaker 2: Speaking of which, if you want a hotel, you want
12:17
Speaker 2: to buy a hotel. The Waldorf is up for sale.
12:22
Speaker 2: It closed about ten twelve years ago. Some Chinese company
12:26
Speaker 2: bought it and started to redo it, and then they
12:28
Speaker 2: went out of business. Then another company in another company. Well,
12:31
Speaker 2: the other company spent the money, spent fortune rebuilding the Waldorf.
12:36
Speaker 2: They reopened it about eight months ago. It's magnificent. I
12:39
Speaker 2: don't know what happened. It's also got half apartments of
12:43
Speaker 2: the spectacle. I don't know what happened, but it's up
12:44
Speaker 2: for sale. This company wants out. You can buy it.
12:48
Speaker 2: It's up for sale right now. The Rolling Stones. Who
12:53
Speaker 2: would you think was the biggest sex maniac of the
12:55
Speaker 2: Rolling Stones. No, it's not Mick Jagger, not even close.
13:00
Speaker 2: Isn't that funny? It was Bill Wyman, Bill Wyman, out
13:08
Speaker 2: of all those Nah, it wasn't Keith Richards either. It
13:11
Speaker 2: was this Bill Wyman who had this thing. And the
13:13
Speaker 2: Jagger and the others talked about it in a new
13:15
Speaker 2: book that from day one, from the beginning, this Bill
13:18
Speaker 2: Wyman had to sleep with every woman on earth. A
13:23
Speaker 2: lot of guys do this before I show, they look
13:24
Speaker 2: out through the curtain, they look out through a little people,
13:26
Speaker 2: they look at the audience, they see any women they like,
13:30
Speaker 2: They send a couple of guys out there to get
13:32
Speaker 2: the women and bring him backstage. This happens all the time.
13:35
Speaker 2: This is perfectly. Every celebrity does that. But with Wyman,
13:40
Speaker 2: he'd get to two or three or four every night,
13:43
Speaker 2: sleep with them, and he'd keep a journal of all
13:46
Speaker 2: the women he slept with. Every woman her name, you know,
13:48
Speaker 2: little notes about that night. It got up to eighteen
13:52
Speaker 2: hundred names. This is years ago. It got up to
13:54
Speaker 2: eighteen hundred and he stopped counting. He just got sick
13:59
Speaker 2: of it after eighteen hundred. He was the oldest rolling
14:04
Speaker 2: Stone too, and he was the only married rolling Stone.
14:08
Speaker 2: Yet when he joined the band, he just let loosen
14:10
Speaker 2: became the craziest of all of them. Jagger was not
14:15
Speaker 2: really like that, and believe or not, Keith Richard very
14:18
Speaker 2: romantic type. If he was with a woman, he would
14:20
Speaker 2: pretty much be loyal and he could count them all
14:25
Speaker 2: on his fingers. Nothing like the eighteen hundred of Bill Wyman.
14:30
Speaker 2: A lot of stuff coming out about the Stones right
14:32
Speaker 2: now because they got this new album out, which everybody
14:36
Speaker 2: loves pretty good. Also, Jagger doing an interview where they
14:39
Speaker 2: asked him about Bruce Springsteen, who takes to the stage
14:43
Speaker 2: in the middle of two songs will do a twenty
14:46
Speaker 2: minute tirade yelling and screaming and cursing about Trump. Jagger said,
14:52
Speaker 2: it's just awful. He likes Bruce Springsteen, but he said,
14:55
Speaker 2: that's the last thing you want to do. And Jagger,
14:58
Speaker 2: this is the most common sense thing in the world.
15:00
Speaker 2: He said. It costs a lot of money to come
15:02
Speaker 2: see a concert. And people are there to have a
15:05
Speaker 2: good time and be entertained. They don't need a lecture,
15:08
Speaker 2: even if they agree with you. They're there to be entertained,
15:11
Speaker 2: forget their troubles, enjoy themselves. They're not there to get
15:15
Speaker 2: all riled up over politics. He said, Springsteen is crazy
15:19
Speaker 2: to be doing that stuff. Good for Mick Jagger. Hey,
15:21
Speaker 2: we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three two one
15:25
Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
15:29
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten.
15:32
Speaker 1: Here's more marks alone on seventeen wor.
15:38
Speaker 2: Well, let's take some calls. Hey, let's get some new
15:40
Speaker 2: callers too. We always like to hear from our new callers.
15:43
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
15:46
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Let's go
15:50
Speaker 2: to Jeff in Manhattan. Jeff, how you doing good?
15:53
Speaker 3: Walk? You brought up bro Connor before. Yeah, I got
15:57
Speaker 3: three quick comments about him. Well, you know they used
16:01
Speaker 3: to say the most dangerous place you could be is
16:03
Speaker 3: between schuma and a camera. Well that's now ro Kanna,
16:06
Speaker 3: that's number one, number two. A lot of good people
16:10
Speaker 3: lost their careers because they were tangentially connected to Epstein.
16:15
Speaker 3: This guy wrote, Kanna was in the same northern California
16:18
Speaker 3: area of Swawell. His friend he knew exactly what was
16:21
Speaker 3: going on, and he didn't say anything. Then how does
16:24
Speaker 3: he rehabilitate himself? He goes with that Nazi guy from Maine,
16:28
Speaker 3: so if he probably wants to run for president, but
16:31
Speaker 3: these things are a forfeit. And then he talked about
16:33
Speaker 3: he went to Israel. He has no credibility on Israel
16:37
Speaker 3: because any neutral person would not support a candidate that
16:41
Speaker 3: had twenty years of a Nazi death camp tattoo on
16:44
Speaker 3: his chest.
16:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he was not there in Israel too do
16:47
Speaker 2: anything good for Israel. He was there to be anti
16:49
Speaker 2: Semitic while in Israel.
16:51
Speaker 4: Right, but he.
16:54
Speaker 3: Cannot be taken seriously.
16:55
Speaker 2: As I don't think anybody. I don't think anybody was
16:58
Speaker 2: taking him seriously outside of that fake news crowd. Let's
17:02
Speaker 2: go to Jack in New Jersey. Jack, how you doing.
17:05
Speaker 4: I'm doing fine, Mark Good Good. A couple of questions
17:09
Speaker 4: for you.
17:10
Speaker 3: What is going on with Doge? Is that our department
17:12
Speaker 3: still in existence because it's doing anything?
17:15
Speaker 2: Or well the Elon Musk Doge now that got shut down,
17:19
Speaker 2: but they're still doging. There's a little Doge it's more
17:22
Speaker 2: Vice President Vance in charge of it. Now, he's overseeing it.
17:25
Speaker 3: Right.
17:26
Speaker 2: They're doing the same kind of stuff, but quietly slower,
17:29
Speaker 2: quieter than Musk was doing it. They're kind of trying
17:32
Speaker 2: to do it under the radar. But it's still going on.
17:34
Speaker 2: They're still making cuts all the time.
17:37
Speaker 1: You know.
17:37
Speaker 2: Part of the problem also was Obama stuck in in
17:41
Speaker 2: every department of the cabinet, stuck in a couple thousand
17:43
Speaker 2: of his operatives. They're going to clean those guys out too.
17:47
Speaker 2: Not only are they bad partisans, but useless don't need them.
17:51
Speaker 2: So the doge effort continues. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
17:56

Speaker 4: the DVD and it was just fascinating to watch. I
18:31
Speaker 4: mean it was just just to see the disciplines between
18:34
Speaker 4: players then and players now. How in those those days,
18:37
Speaker 4: these guys was like quiet. They didn't know how to
18:39
Speaker 4: act in front of a camera. Now these guys are
18:41
Speaker 4: all like movie stars and they're like, you know, they've
18:44
Speaker 4: grown up with cameras around them. But back then, Mickey Mantle,
18:46
Speaker 4: you know this guy from Oklahoma. Yeah, he's pretty good,
18:49
Speaker 4: you know. It was the co host would have like
18:52
Speaker 4: try to get words out of these guys, and none
18:54
Speaker 4: of them were very h Was.
18:56
Speaker 2: It actually called Home Run Derby? I'm trying to remember.
18:59
Speaker 4: Yes, was called home on Derby and it was done.
19:02
Speaker 4: They shot it out in La at the LA version

Speaker 2: Yeah, they're on YouTube on flight the year. Yeah, but
19:12
Speaker 2: there's enough of them on YouTube, and it's really unbelievable.
19:16
Speaker 2: It's Mel Allen, right and somebody else.
19:19
Speaker 4: No, it was another It was a local guy. I
19:21
Speaker 4: can't remember his name, but he was Yeah, so local guy.
19:26
Speaker 4: ESPN brought it back like in the eighties or nineties,
19:28
Speaker 4: and Melon they may have those guys may mail Allen
19:31
Speaker 4: and those types may have No I'm thinking of the
19:32
Speaker 4: original commentary.
19:34
Speaker 2: I thought it was because original, because they were originally
19:37
Speaker 2: he'll say, well, we got our two players here, Uh,
19:40
Speaker 2: Mickey Mantle and Willie May saylo guys, and they would
19:43
Speaker 2: and then they would each take turns. Yeah, black and white,
19:45
Speaker 2: phenomenal to watch, uh YouTube, And then.
19:48
Speaker 4: They would sit next to him what the other guy badded?
19:50
Speaker 4: They would talk and comment on them as much as
19:52
Speaker 4: the look. You know, they weren't very loquacious, as I said,
19:55
Speaker 4: so it was.
19:57
Speaker 2: Now you're a big Johnny Carson fan, right.
20:00
Speaker 4: Big, big, big, big yes, looking forward to your interview
20:03
Speaker 4: with Mark there.
20:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got Mark Malcoff coming up. He's the Johnny
20:07
Speaker 2: Carson expert of the world. He wrote the definitive book
20:09
Speaker 2: on him. It just came out last year. What do
20:12
Speaker 2: you want me to ask him about Johnny Carson? Anythink
20:14
Speaker 2: you've always wondered?
20:15
Speaker 3: Geez?
20:16
Speaker 4: Oh boy, well, I always liked the episode where was
20:21
Speaker 4: it Dean Martin was flicking?
20:22
Speaker 1: Who was it was flipping?
20:24
Speaker 4: His ashes?
20:25
Speaker 2: And George and.
20:27
Speaker 1: What's his name is?
20:28
Speaker 4: George Goebels drink. I mean it was cautioning in on
20:30
Speaker 4: that was that pre planned? It was Martin.
20:34
Speaker 2: That's okay, No, he would do that in real life.
20:36
Speaker 2: That was Dean Martin. He and Jerry Lewis would would
20:39
Speaker 2: always do pranks on everybody. They would light your shoes
20:43
Speaker 2: on fire, all that stuff.
20:44
Speaker 4: And it was Robin and the Seven Hoods was on
20:48
Speaker 4: TCM for you know, the other like two days ago,
20:51
Speaker 4: and and you know, Martin just seemed like he was
20:53
Speaker 4: cake walking through that whole That whole movie was just
20:56
Speaker 4: like Dean, can you get into it a little bit?
20:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Mike, great call, Thanks for calling. That
21:03
Speaker 2: was the I think that was the last rat Pack film,
21:07
Speaker 2: Robin in The Seven Hoods. In fact, the cemetery scene
21:12
Speaker 2: Peter Falk and Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, Sammy Davis
21:15
Speaker 2: is the scene where they're at the cemetery for the funeral,
21:18
Speaker 2: And it was they were filming that scene when a
21:22
Speaker 2: guy ran in right in the middle of shooting, stopped
21:24
Speaker 2: the whole production and he said, President Kennedy has just
21:27
Speaker 2: been shot. And Sinatra had had quite a relationship with
21:31
Speaker 2: John F. Kennedy, so he just ran from the set,
21:35
Speaker 2: went home to Palm Springs. Nobody saw him for a week.
21:39
Speaker 2: He just didn't come out. He was so shaken up
21:41
Speaker 2: by the death of JFK. So, yeah, we'll talk to
21:47
Speaker 2: we'll talk to the Johnny Carson expert coming up next.
21:49
Speaker 2: We've got lots to talk to him about. And also
21:54
Speaker 2: we'll get to get back to Lindsey Graham. The replacement
21:58
Speaker 2: word is that President Trump wants Lindsey Graham's sister to
22:02
Speaker 2: be the replacement. The replacement candidate would serve out the
22:05
Speaker 2: term till January, and that's very important because you can
22:08
Speaker 2: need those votes. You know, you got a big other
22:10
Speaker 2: problem is Mitch mcconnald very very very bad health, and
22:15
Speaker 2: you can't afford to lose him. Now, some people are
22:16
Speaker 2: saying there's a number of people in Congress, Republican Congress
22:21
Speaker 2: people that could be appointed to Lindsay Graham seat. Can't
22:23
Speaker 2: do that because the Republican majority in Congress is so tight,
22:28
Speaker 2: so slim. You can't pull anybody out of there right now.
22:31
Speaker 2: So that's a big problem. But anyway, we'll talk about
22:34
Speaker 2: Johnny Carson in a moment. There's a great new book out,
22:36
Speaker 2: the best ever written about Carson, and we'll get to
22:40
Speaker 2: that coming up next on seven to ten.
22:42
Speaker 1: W Mark Simon Show Live from the WR Life Back Studio.
22:50
Speaker 2: Well, Johnny Carson probably the greatest name in the history
22:54
Speaker 2: of television. Now, I was the Johnny Carson expert of
22:59
Speaker 2: the world. Knew everything. But then I started listening to
23:01
Speaker 2: this thing called the Carson Podcast. Mark Malkoff did it.
23:05
Speaker 2: He had like four hundred guests. Everybody was ever on
23:08
Speaker 2: the Tonight Show. By the time I listened to that,
23:11
Speaker 2: I knew. I learned fifteen thousand things I never knew
23:14
Speaker 2: before the podcast, The Carson Podcast. You could still listen
23:17
Speaker 2: to it, it's online. The Carson Podcast was so successful
23:21
Speaker 2: he then got Mark Malkoff got this big book deal
23:24
Speaker 2: and the book is the definitive ultimate book about Johnny Carson,
23:29
Speaker 2: the best book ever written about him. It's called Love
23:32
Speaker 2: Johnny Carson. The book is out. Go to Amazon. You
23:35
Speaker 2: can order it there wherever you get books. But just
23:37
Speaker 2: go to Amazon order the book Love Johnny Carson by

23:45
Speaker 2: is with us now, Mark Malkoff, how you doing.
23:48
Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic. Thanks for having me back Mark.
23:51
Speaker 2: And how's the book doing. Is it's been about a
23:53
Speaker 2: year now, right that it's been out.
23:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been about a little bit more than six months,
23:57
Speaker 1: you can believe it. And yeah, it's a US say
24:00
Speaker 1: today best selling books. I've heard from people just all
24:04
Speaker 1: over the country that just missed Johnny Carson, and the
24:07
Speaker 1: book brings people back. I talked to over four hundred people,
24:11
Speaker 1: and I mean, you knew Johnny Carson, so just to
24:13
Speaker 1: be able to talk to someone like yourself and get
24:15
Speaker 1: these inside stories, I thought this is the first book
24:19
Speaker 1: that really chronicled who Carson was from the people that
24:22
Speaker 1: knew him.
24:22
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, in the book and the podcast, you interviewed
24:25
Speaker 2: those closest to him, the producers, the directors, the writers,
24:30
Speaker 2: his close friends, all of that, the real Johnny Carson.
24:35
Speaker 2: You know, they thought of him as cold and aloof
24:37
Speaker 2: but that was when he was at work. He was
24:39
Speaker 2: a warm guy outside of that. But the real Johnny
24:42
Speaker 2: Carson still kind of a mystery, right, nobody's ever figured
24:45
Speaker 2: out one hundred percent, have they not?
24:48
Speaker 1: One hundred percent? I Mean he definitely, you know, had
24:51
Speaker 1: some other issues and he would open up to his friends,
24:55
Speaker 1: but only to an extent, you know. I mean he
24:57
Speaker 1: had this Midwestern upbringing where you didn't really show your feelings.
25:01
Speaker 1: His brother Dick Carson, who who was the Tonight Show
25:04
Speaker 1: director in New York, said, you know, we weren't Italian,
25:08
Speaker 1: We didn't no one ever really said what they were
25:10
Speaker 1: thinking in their family.
25:11
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, Johnny Carson a lot of people watching him.
25:14
Speaker 2: That Midwestern that aw shucks, kind of sweet Midwestern. But
25:18
Speaker 2: he was a tough guy when he needed to be
25:21
Speaker 2: ambitious tough, right, tell us about that?
25:24
Speaker 1: Well, I think anybody that has longevity, I mean, this
25:26
Speaker 1: is a man for thirty years that stayed number one,
25:31
Speaker 1: is going to be a competitive guy. I mean he
25:33
Speaker 1: was in bed watching his show every night like a
25:36
Speaker 1: football coach taking notes. He was watching the guest host,
25:39
Speaker 1: he was in watching his competition. I mean, in nineteen
25:42
Speaker 1: seventy one, he had four TVs going on at once
25:45
Speaker 1: in his home at the un Plaza. He's watching his
25:47
Speaker 1: Dick Habit, He's watching his own show, he's watching David Frost,
25:51
Speaker 1: He's watching either merv or Joey Bishop. But yeah, I
25:54
Speaker 1: mean he was. There was nobody that was more competitive.
25:56
Speaker 1: I mean, he pays himself like a prize fighter. I
25:59
Speaker 1: mean he he would just show up maybe two hours
26:01
Speaker 1: before work. He'd didn't work in all day, but he
26:04
Speaker 1: wanted to conserve his energy for that ninety minutes. I
26:07
Speaker 1: mean originally an hour forty five minutes, been ninety minutes,
26:10
Speaker 1: and I mean he would be exhausted by that, and
26:12
Speaker 1: it would every ounce of his being would be used
26:16
Speaker 1: on that show.
26:18
Speaker 2: See, here's the thing. As long as I've been in broadcast,
26:21
Speaker 2: I always tell you, you know, you should listen to
26:23
Speaker 2: your show, like I should take this show today and
26:26
Speaker 2: then listen to it and go over it and study
26:28
Speaker 2: it and make improvement. You're supposed to do that every day.
26:30
Speaker 2: I've done that. The total is zero times.
26:34
Speaker 1: Never do that.
26:36
Speaker 2: It's tough because as soon as you start playing, oh god,
26:38
Speaker 2: it sounds awful, you can't. But he would do that, right,
26:41
Speaker 2: That's how you really get to be hen.
26:43
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely a blessing and occurs. I mean
26:46
Speaker 1: he was obsessed. I mean David Letterman, who modeled his
26:48
Speaker 1: career after his hero Johnny Carson. The first thing Dave,
26:51
Speaker 1: because I worked for Dave. The first thing Dave would
26:52
Speaker 1: do after the tape and is go to his office
26:54
Speaker 1: and he'd be given a copy of the show that
26:56
Speaker 1: they just taped, and Dave would watch every second of
26:59
Speaker 1: his broad cast. And I mean it, I do not
27:02
Speaker 1: think that that is overall a positive thing. But Johnny
27:06
Speaker 1: was obsessed. He you know, you would tell a journalist,
27:08
Speaker 1: he would say, you just you you know, you're number one,
27:10
Speaker 1: and you just start coasting and then you before you
27:13
Speaker 1: know it, somebody knocks you off. I mean we all
27:15
Speaker 1: know this that people tried to take this guy on,
27:18
Speaker 1: and you know, nobody could make a dent. I mean,
27:21
Speaker 1: there was nobody that was more competitive than carterson. Even
27:25
Speaker 1: someone like Tom Snyder you would never think would be
27:28
Speaker 1: Carson would be like, this guy's a thread. I mean,
27:30
Speaker 1: Johnny really kept Snyder an arm length arm's leg had to,
27:34
Speaker 1: you know, he was so powerful. I mean it was
27:36
Speaker 1: twenty percent of NBC's profits at one point that every
27:39
Speaker 1: Tom Snyder guess Johnny had to approve. You know, even
27:42
Speaker 1: David Letterman, who followed Carson. Carson produced, Johnny had to give.
27:46
Speaker 1: John gave Dave Letterman all these rules that he thought
27:50
Speaker 1: would hinder Dave.
27:51
Speaker 2: No monologue.
27:51
Speaker 1: You have to have a band that's four people or
27:54
Speaker 1: last you can't have a sidekick that sits on the couch,
27:57
Speaker 1: all these things to keep his competition den. Uh.
28:02
Speaker 2: Well it worked, yeah, uh, it did work, But.
28:05
Speaker 1: There was nobody more generous. At the same time. You know,
28:07
Speaker 1: all these people that were unknowns go on a show
28:09
Speaker 1: and immediately within a couple of weeks they're back. Joan
28:12
Speaker 1: Rivers went back within two weeks. It blew up Burt
28:15
Speaker 1: Reynold's life change going on carsonce Reynolds says to this
28:20
Speaker 1: is that before he left this earth that Johnny Carson
28:24
Speaker 1: was the biggest break of his career. He loved him.
28:26
Speaker 1: Bet Middler unknown and as she's suddenly a superstar. So
28:30
Speaker 1: the guy's generosity, I mean, there's nobody in TV that
28:33
Speaker 1: was more generous than that guy.
28:35
Speaker 4: Yeah.
28:35
Speaker 2: The straight thing was he would always have unknown comics
28:38
Speaker 2: on and as a result, he discovered Joan Rivers, he
28:40
Speaker 2: discovered he can gave it a thousand comedians. He discovered
28:43
Speaker 2: why when Jane Leno took over a stand up comic himself,
28:46
Speaker 2: why did he stop that tradition?
28:49
Speaker 1: Jay Is first of all, gave me fifty minutes for
28:52
Speaker 1: the book when we talked about this. The ratings, unfortunately
28:55
Speaker 1: for both music and comedians, they go down. According to
28:59
Speaker 1: NBC research, the reason music is always at the very
29:03
Speaker 1: end of those late night shows is because the ratings
29:06
Speaker 1: are down. At one point, Saturday Night Live try to
29:08
Speaker 1: convince Lord Michael's to get rid of the music as
29:09
Speaker 1: because music was the ratings were going down, and Jay
29:12
Speaker 1: was a company guy, you know, Johnny basically did. NBC
29:16
Speaker 1: did whatever Johnny wanted, and Johnny said, no, I love comedians.
29:19
Speaker 1: I am going to launch comedians. And even though Jay
29:22
Speaker 1: Leno was one of those comedians Johnny launch. When Jay
29:24
Speaker 1: got the Tonight show as a company man, he would
29:26
Speaker 1: look at every rating for every minute, and he saw
29:29
Speaker 1: the stand ups were going down in the ratings. And
29:31
Speaker 1: suddenly this guy who was a stand up himself, Yeah,
29:35
Speaker 1: they were almost never on his show. And it was
29:38
Speaker 1: really really tough I think for the comedians in Leno's
29:40
Speaker 1: peers to see that he would do that and kind of,
29:44
Speaker 1: you know, sell out his community more or less for
29:47
Speaker 1: a few ratings points.
29:49
Speaker 2: Wow, we're talking Mark Malcoff. The book. Get the book.
29:52
Speaker 2: It's called Love Johnny Carson. Best book ever written on
29:55
Speaker 2: Johnny Carson's Called Love Johnny Carson. Go order it. On Amazon.
30:00
Speaker 2: Favorite Guests, Carson guests. Everybody's got their own list. Mine
30:04
Speaker 2: would start with Don Rickles, Rodney desk Field. Who would
30:08
Speaker 2: you put on your list?
30:10
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that those two were amazing. I
30:13
Speaker 1: think Buddy Hackett was just an unbelievable all those three.
30:16
Speaker 1: Johnny would throw out the pre interview. Charles Grodin was
30:19
Speaker 1: another person that Johnny out of three people wanted to
30:22
Speaker 1: be exclusively on a contract that they would only do
30:25
Speaker 1: Johnny show. Charles Grody would go on this show and
30:28
Speaker 1: just make fun of Johnny, and people in America thought
30:30
Speaker 1: it was real that this guy was insulting their hero Johnny.
30:33
Speaker 1: Carson and Johnny got such a kick out of it
30:35
Speaker 1: that they would get letters. Why would you have this guy?
30:38
Speaker 1: Charles Groden? He's so rude and mean, But Carson loved
30:40
Speaker 1: every second. And you know, I got to go to
30:42
Speaker 1: Connecticut twice to spend time with Charles Groden, and it
30:45
Speaker 1: was just a highlight of his life going on with Carson.
30:47
Speaker 1: And in retirement, they had a dinner lunch rather in
30:51
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and these people got so emotional. Mark talking
30:55
Speaker 1: to me is tears in their eyes. I mean, sign
30:57
Speaker 1: felt to this day with his hundreds of millions, billions
31:00
Speaker 1: of dollars that's going on. Carson was the biggest moment
31:03
Speaker 1: of his career, the last Seinfeld tape, and Johnny sent
31:07
Speaker 1: a note to Jerry's dressing room congratulated in him. And
31:10
Speaker 1: those are the things that Jerry to this day will say,
31:14
Speaker 1: was that still that the top accomplishment and the stuff
31:16
Speaker 1: that meant the most was Carson's approval.
31:18
Speaker 2: Well that what guess he hated do he never wanted back.
31:22
Speaker 2: Who are some of those.
31:24
Speaker 1: Some of the people he didn't like is if they
31:26
Speaker 1: would go on and they were ride to his staff.
31:28
Speaker 1: He did not like Jerry Lewis because Jerry Lewis yelled
31:31
Speaker 1: at his Q card person people that had bad manners
31:34
Speaker 1: he had no tolerance for. And he you know, Danny Thomas, unfortunately,
31:38
Speaker 1: with all the good he was in sho said some
31:40
Speaker 1: inappropriate stuff into one of Carson's secretaries and it got
31:43
Speaker 1: back to Cardon and he was banned. So anybody that
31:46
Speaker 1: went into one of those things with bad behaviors, if
31:48
Speaker 1: anyone was on a substance and it really affected their
31:50
Speaker 1: performance and they were off their game, like Sam Kennison,
31:53
Speaker 1: they were never allowed back. Kennison was always was, unfortunately,
31:57
Speaker 1: and he abbriated and he could They had to that
32:00
Speaker 1: part of his appearance because he was so out of
32:02
Speaker 1: it and you were not going to come back if
32:04
Speaker 1: that was the thing of that was the case. He
32:06
Speaker 1: just despised bad manners. And then if anybody in their
32:10
Speaker 1: personal life, like Joan Rivers, he felt betrayed him. And
32:14
Speaker 1: you know, I really go we go into the in
32:16
Speaker 1: the book, there's really deep dive on what actually happened.
32:20
Speaker 1: I mean, Johnny got hurt more, very easily, more than
32:23
Speaker 1: a normal person. He was devastated with Joan Rivers, and
32:26
Speaker 1: we go into what actually happened, and it was very
32:29
Speaker 1: different from miss rivers account.
32:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love Joan Rivers, but she really did. She
32:34
Speaker 2: really did betray him, despite her version of it.
32:37
Speaker 1: Her her own friend said that that she owed Johnny
32:41
Speaker 1: that you need to tell him. Barry Diller, who was
32:43
Speaker 1: the head of Fox, I sat down with him in
32:45
Speaker 1: New York. He said, she just said, you have to
32:48
Speaker 1: tell Johnny. You're going to be competing against him. I'm
32:50
Speaker 1: in a poker game with him and friends with Johnny.
32:52
Speaker 1: You need to tell him that. She didn't, and there
32:54
Speaker 1: was more to it. I mean, Joan tried to take
32:55
Speaker 1: Johnny's producer, Peter less Sally, every talent coordinator was off
32:59
Speaker 1: or double their salary go with Joan, and Johnny just
33:01
Speaker 1: could not believe that this person who he really did
33:05
Speaker 1: care about would do that to him. And when he
33:07
Speaker 1: found out about it, because Joan, he tried to get
33:10
Speaker 1: hold of Joan all weekends. She wouldn't take his calls.
33:12
Speaker 1: When he finally found out, he started crying. According to
33:14
Speaker 1: somebody who knew Johnny, and he was really really devastated.
33:18
Speaker 1: And once somebody hurt him, he was so sensitive. The relationship,
33:21
Speaker 1: unfortunately was over.
33:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, so hey, we all remember the final night he
33:27
Speaker 2: goes off here. Yeah that was thirty four years ago.
33:30
Speaker 2: People can't believe that it's thirty four years of that.
33:32
Speaker 2: And Mark Melcoffe, you're a young guy. You don't really
33:37
Speaker 2: remember the early Johnny Carson, do you. You weren't around then.
33:40
Speaker 1: I was sixteen when he went off the air, so
33:43
Speaker 1: I have my dad to tell me back going to
33:45
Speaker 1: the show. In nineteen sixty eight, he went to six B,
33:47
Speaker 1: which is now Jimmy Fallon, and he got to see
33:50
Speaker 1: everyone from Barbara McNair to Doug McClure to David Fry,
33:55
Speaker 1: to his Nixon. So my dad's memories of going to
33:58
Speaker 1: see Johnny in New York were unbelo Unfortunately, the first
34:01
Speaker 1: ten years NBC erased almost everything, and Johnny, you know,
34:04
Speaker 1: was devastated, but thankfully with the Burbank years, but the
34:08
Speaker 1: New York years were endlessly fascinating.
34:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was actually the best period of Carson. So yeah,
34:15
Speaker 2: the book is called Love Johnny Carson. We want you
34:18
Speaker 2: to go to Amazon and order it. Because I knew
34:21
Speaker 2: everything you can know about Johnny Carson. Then I get
34:23
Speaker 2: this book, there's like fifteen thousand things I didn't know,
34:26
Speaker 2: so you'll learn everything in the world about Carson. And
34:29
Speaker 2: it's such a well written book. It's called Love Johnny Carson.
34:33

Speaker 1: Oh.
34:35

34:48
Speaker 2: Our boss here, Tom Cuddy, has arranged to take us
34:51
Speaker 2: to dinner and Jimmy Fayla. He's the closest thing to
34:57
Speaker 2: Carson right now in television because on Saturday Night, with
35:00
Speaker 2: a long monologue that's fifty to fifty, he makes fun
35:03
Speaker 2: of Democrats Republicans, which is what Carson did, right, And
35:06
Speaker 2: you don't see that anymore, do you.
35:07
Speaker 1: That's right. I mean Jimmy, Yeah, does a phenomenal job
35:10
Speaker 1: in models at after Carson, which I really really loved.
35:14
Speaker 1: But yeah, we never knew Johnny's politics. I mean he
35:17
Speaker 1: he you know, definitely was friends with George Herbert Walker
35:21
Speaker 1: Bush and they really got a kick out of one another.
35:24
Speaker 1: Johnny did stay over at the White House and they
35:26
Speaker 1: actually talked when Bush was on from Air Force One
35:30
Speaker 1: and they got a kick out of it. So, I mean,
35:31
Speaker 1: he did have Bill Clinton on as well when Clinton,
35:34
Speaker 1: you know, was a you know at the DNC when
35:37
Speaker 1: he fell on his face and everyone thought Clinton's life
35:39
Speaker 1: was over, and he played saxophone well before our sineo.
35:42
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks Clinton went on our sineo it is, you know,
35:45
Speaker 1: that was the first time he ever did it. But
35:46
Speaker 1: it was Johnny that made that happen the first time
35:49
Speaker 1: back in nineteen eighty eight. So yeah, Johnny. We just
35:52
Speaker 1: never knew his politics, and there was definitely something really
35:54
Speaker 1: refreshing about that he was. He hammered everybody equally, but
35:57
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you knew this guy
35:59
Speaker 1: was just you know, they were jokes.
36:01
Speaker 2: Well, it's a great book. I'll see you tonight, Mark Malcoff.
36:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, looking forward to it.
36:04
Speaker 2: Everybody, everybody go to Amazon and get the book. It's

Speaker 1: Thank you, siryl see you tonight.
36:16
Speaker 2: Take care, all right, take care. Yeah, that'll be interesting.
36:19
Speaker 2: You know, I've actually never met Mark Malcoff. I've talked
36:21
Speaker 2: to him on the phone a million times. I was
36:23
Speaker 2: on the podcast a few times. I just realized I've
36:26
Speaker 2: never actually met him. But we'll do that tonight. And
36:29
Speaker 2: don't forget Jimmy Fayala is on every night here from
36:33
Speaker 2: nine to midnight. You can hear him then, and Curtis
36:36
Speaker 2: Sliwa is on w R now every morning. You can
36:39
Speaker 2: hear Curtis Sliwa and Larry Menty six to ten. Here
36:43
Speaker 2: on seven to ten wor Mark on demand by setting
36:48
Speaker 2: up pre sad for his podcast on.
36:50
Speaker 1: The iHeartRadio app. Now back to Mark Simon on wor.
36:58
Speaker 2: Well, the loss of a great shock and a very
37:02
Speaker 2: close ally friend confidante of President Trump. Big loss in
37:07
Speaker 2: the Senate for Trump, and it's you can replace him
37:11
Speaker 2: with a Republican and you don't lose the vote. But
37:13
Speaker 2: he was more than just a vote. He was the
37:16
Speaker 2: guy who could run around the Senate and get things
37:18
Speaker 2: done on behalf of President Trump, even if he needed
37:21
Speaker 2: to win over some Democrats. It was something Lindsey Graham
37:24
Speaker 2: was good at. He was from that old school, that
37:27
Speaker 2: old Tip O'Neill era, where Democrats Republicans would be friends.
37:31
Speaker 2: You'd go to lunch together, you'd have drinks after work,
37:34
Speaker 2: you could work with each other. So a big loss.
37:37
Speaker 2: Who will replace him? President Trump wants Lindsey Graham's sister
37:42
Speaker 2: to replace him, and it's up to the governor of
37:45
Speaker 2: South Carolina. I'm a master close ally of President Trump,
37:48
Speaker 2: so maybe maybe that will happen. We'll have more on
37:51
Speaker 2: it for you tomorrow. I'll be back tomorrow. Every weekday
37:54
Speaker 2: ten to noon, so I'll see you then here on
37:57
Speaker 2: seven to ten. WR
