- 0:37Speaker 2: And chatmercy are you good?
- 0:40Speaker 1: Let me ask you something these I'm watching the Knicks games.
- 0:43Speaker 1: I see Trump in the suite, big leather chair. You
- 0:46Speaker 1: couldn't be more luxurious, comfortable. These people in the floor seats,
- 0:49Speaker 1: it's a folding chair with the people sweating all over you.
- 0:52Speaker 1: What is the attraction of the floor.
- 0:56Speaker 2: Notoriety. Oh so a guy like and Stiller really didn't
- 1:01Speaker 2: have much of a career. Correct, Yeah, I mean I'm
- 1:05Speaker 2: not disparaging him, but he's not a guy that people
- 1:11Speaker 2: are talking about. He gets four or five shots on
- 1:16Speaker 2: national television sitting in the front row at the Nick game.
- 1:20Speaker 2: That hypes him up. And that's why these celebrities do it.
- 1:26Speaker 2: I think you know most of them like basketball too,
- 1:28Speaker 2: they're Nick fans. But it's it's a big POI thing
- 1:34Speaker 2: for them to go to the Garden and have people
- 1:37Speaker 2: sweat on you with it.
- 1:40Speaker 1: But you've actually sat there, So what is it like,
- 1:42Speaker 1: I you're about to get crashed into it any second.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little tight. I'm six four, about one ninety.
- 1:50Speaker 2: It's a little tight. But the reason I go is
- 1:56Speaker 2: to watch the game. I mean, they're not ever going
- 1:58Speaker 2: to put me on the jump tron. I mean, that's
- 2:02Speaker 2: not there. The Garden is not that hospitable to me,
- 2:09Speaker 2: whereas all the other stadiums that Arena is in the
- 2:14Speaker 2: New York area and across the country are I never
- 2:17Speaker 2: quite figured it out, but I pay for my seats
- 2:21Speaker 2: and then't take anything for a lot of these celibs,
- 2:24Speaker 2: you know, they take it gratis. Not me. See you
- 2:28Speaker 2: see me there. You know I paid the freight and
- 2:31Speaker 2: but you know, the folks are there. It's just nice chat.
- 2:34Speaker 2: I'm happy to go.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Hey, but here's a picture somebody put online. This is
- 2:39Speaker 1: you and Donald Trump sitting together at the game I
- 2:41Speaker 1: think twenty fourteen.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I went to a number of Nick
- 2:45Speaker 2: games with him. In fact, at one of them, he
- 2:47Speaker 2: told me he was going to run for president and
- 2:50Speaker 2: I looked at him, I said of what country? And
- 2:54Speaker 2: I thought he was going to buy up Bolivia and
- 2:56Speaker 2: then install himself. But yeah, we used to go to
- 3:01Speaker 2: Met and Yankee and Nick games all the time, and
- 3:08Speaker 2: it was before he had any interest in politics, simply
- 3:13Speaker 2: a businessman. But I'd known him for thirty five years
- 3:17Speaker 2: and I knew he was a sports fan. So occasionally
- 3:20Speaker 2: we go to see the games. Always had a good time.
- 3:23Speaker 1: So when Kathy Ogle says he doesn't know any about
- 3:25Speaker 1: the next he's not really a Knicks fan, you can
- 3:27Speaker 1: testify that she's one hundred percent wrong.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Kathy Hogel, who's at the governor Yeah that one. Yeah,
- 3:36Speaker 2: I mean, look on way beyond Governor Hopeil. At this point,
- 3:43Speaker 2: once she came out and quasi supported the banishment of
- 3:49Speaker 2: the words mom and dad in state correspondence, I mean,
- 3:53Speaker 2: I just hung it up. That's it for me. If
- 3:57Speaker 2: she's going to be she didn't sign it, and she
- 4:00Speaker 2: won't sign until after the election. But I mean, she
- 4:04Speaker 2: should have condemned it, and she didn't. You know, we're
- 4:08Speaker 2: in his zone there that I guess some New Yorkers
- 4:11Speaker 2: feel comfortable in it.
- 4:12Speaker 1: I don't for people listening that don't know. You're not kidding.
- 4:15Speaker 1: There's a bill that has passed that you're not allowed
- 4:17Speaker 1: to use word mother or father in any government, state, anything.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Yeah, and once you get into that zone, that crazy
- 4:26Speaker 2: lunatic zone, I check out. I'm not not even going
- 4:32Speaker 2: to bother with you anymore, both professionally and personally, because
- 4:37Speaker 2: life is short and I don't have time to deal
- 4:39Speaker 2: with morons. I really don't. And she doesn't care one
- 4:42Speaker 2: way or the other. She's just doing to try to
- 4:44Speaker 2: assemble political power. She's trying to beat Blakeman, and she
- 4:49Speaker 2: fills her progressive masters, the people who control her want this,
- 4:53Speaker 2: which they do, and so she sits on it.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Wow, only giving Blakeman more ammunition if they ever have
- 4:59Speaker 1: to debate, which I'm sure they will. But hey, you've
- 5:04Speaker 1: spent your whole life in newsrooms, news organizations. I'm sure
- 5:08Speaker 1: you've been fired a few times. We all have. It's
- 5:09Speaker 1: perfectly normal. Shows get canceled. Have you ever seen anything
- 5:14Speaker 1: like Scott Pelly, the way he just stood up like
- 5:16Speaker 1: this pompous asked and told off the boss.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Well, I have, And that's a good question you're asking,
- 5:25Speaker 2: because I've been in the business more than fifty years,
- 5:29Speaker 2: forty two of them working for corporations, which I'll never
- 5:33Speaker 2: do again. I have my own corporations now and I'm
- 5:36Speaker 2: a lot happier run on my own show. But Kelly
- 5:40Speaker 2: lives in a world where he basically feels noble. That's
- 5:47Speaker 2: a keyword. He's noble. So he hates Trump and as
- 5:52Speaker 2: no Doddie does, I mean in six years that Donald
- 5:55Speaker 2: Trump has been president six years sixty minutes, has run
- 5:59Speaker 2: on unfavorable SoundBite in six years, and that was some
- 6:03Speaker 2: guy saying the tariffs might work. Okay, that's it, And
- 6:09Speaker 2: all the rest of the coverage John Trump has been negative.
- 6:14Speaker 2: So don't tell me that you're some kind of journalist
- 6:17Speaker 2: looking for the truth. You're not. You are a left
- 6:20Speaker 2: wing zelot who is trying to impose his point of
- 6:26Speaker 2: view on a country. That's what Scott Pelley is. But
- 6:30Speaker 2: he's never going to admit that because the circle that
- 6:33Speaker 2: he runs in both socially in Connecticut, Greenwich and in
- 6:39Speaker 2: New York City at CBS headquarters. They're all like he is.
- 6:44Speaker 2: They're all het Trump. So there's a normalcy for that.
- 6:50Speaker 2: And then when Kelly gets gets called out on it,
- 6:53Speaker 2: which is what this is all about, he's indignant, Oh,
- 6:58Speaker 2: how can you do this to me? I'm just a
- 7:00Speaker 2: journalist and you're trying to tell me I can't do X,
- 7:04Speaker 2: Y and Z. Hey, Scott, the fix was in from
- 7:08Speaker 2: the moment Trump got into politics, and you know it.
- 7:13Speaker 2: So don't give me it is you're a noble guy
- 7:16Speaker 2: because you didn't even try to cover him in a
- 7:19Speaker 2: balanced way. Yeah, and that is the truth. But I
- 7:23Speaker 2: know tons of people in the journalistic world like that,
- 7:28Speaker 2: far more than our traditional conservatives.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Wow. Hey, Kristen Welker, that meet the present of you
- 7:38Speaker 1: where Trump got up in Walker, You've interviewed a lot
- 7:40Speaker 1: of presidents, You've been in that seat a lot. She
- 7:43Speaker 1: was a little over the top with her, I mean,
- 7:46Speaker 1: a bit rude, but it's.
- 7:48Speaker 2: The same Scott Pelley syndrome that ms Walker. Welker has
- 7:54Speaker 2: the same exact thing. So she's from a family that
- 7:58Speaker 2: are ardent Democrats who have given thousands of dollars to
- 8:02Speaker 2: advance the Democratic Party. Nothing wrong with that. She's in
- 8:05Speaker 2: the family. But don't tell me, Kristen that you're going
- 8:11Speaker 2: in looking for a fair interview. You're not. So there
- 8:15Speaker 2: are two ways to ask questions, as you know, I
- 8:18Speaker 2: mean you're an interviewer of the highest level in radio.
- 8:24Speaker 2: There are two ways to ask the question. Informational, like
- 8:31Speaker 2: President Trump, you say the California election was rigged. What
- 8:38Speaker 2: are you basing that on? Well, what is the main
- 8:43Speaker 2: thing that the Americans should know about your opinion? That's informational.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Confrontational is hey, there's no evidence of anything. What are
- 8:54Speaker 2: you talking about? And that's what Wilga did. I mean,
- 8:59Speaker 2: last night coverage on the California elections was on every network.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Trump's baseless assertion that there was fraud in California. How
- 9:13Speaker 2: can you say it's baseless? Did you investigated NBC News?
- 9:18Speaker 2: Did you send Kristen Welker out there to see if
- 9:23Speaker 2: there was something wrong? No, you didn't. You slap on
- 9:29Speaker 2: the description baseless because you don't like Trump. And so,
- 9:37Speaker 2: getting back to Scott Kelly, this is the whole crew.
- 9:42Speaker 2: This is what they do. My job is to make
- 9:46Speaker 2: Trump look bad, not to get information. Listen, I interviewed
- 9:53Speaker 2: five presents, and every one of them I asked the
- 9:56Speaker 2: toughest questions I could think of, but they weren't I'm disrespectful.
- 10:02Speaker 2: I didn't say that George W. Bush, you're a moron?
- 10:08Speaker 2: Or what are you doing in Iraq? I didn't say
- 10:10Speaker 2: to Obama, why are you unfreezing assets to Iran? I
- 10:17Speaker 2: didn't do that in an accusatory way. I would say,
- 10:23Speaker 2: you did this, mister president, can you explain the rationale
- 10:29Speaker 2: behind it? Now? With Trump, to be fair, you're not
- 10:34Speaker 2: gonna get a thoughtful answer. You're gonna get what he believes,
- 10:40Speaker 2: and he believes the election two twenty and the California
- 10:43Speaker 2: election were fraught. You are not going to get him
- 10:45Speaker 2: out of that ever, Okay, But you can say, give
- 10:52Speaker 2: me your best shot, mister president on to twenty. Give
- 10:57Speaker 2: me one thing that I can take home home and say,
- 11:01Speaker 2: you know, President Trump may have a point, Give me
- 11:04Speaker 2: one and he'll probably go, well, here's a million of them. Okay,
- 11:11Speaker 2: But you're asking the question to get information, not to
- 11:16Speaker 2: make him look bad. And that's what Kristen Welker did
- 11:21Speaker 2: and always does.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Bill, O'Reilly wish we had more time, but hey,
