Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You know what's why he tells you why Mark Simone,
- 0:04Speaker 1: he's on seven tenor hey, well, hey, tonight is the
- 0:11Speaker 1: moon launch. Tonight they're going to orbit the Moon. There
- 0:14Speaker 1: there's gonna be a ten day mission. But the Artemis
- 0:16Speaker 1: rocket it's huge. It's like thirty stories high, because rocket
- 0:20Speaker 1: we've ever launched in this capsule will orbit the Moon
- 0:25Speaker 1: and come back. It's the first mission and then there'll
- 0:29Speaker 1: be a bunch of them and eventually we'll land on
- 0:30Speaker 1: the Moon. But they launched tonight at six o'clock. Six
- 0:35Speaker 1: o'clock tonight, actually about six twenty. You can watch it.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I don't know where you're gonna watch it. If it
- 0:39Speaker 1: with the good old days many years ago, Mercury Gemini
- 0:43Speaker 1: Apollo program, they preempt everything and we'd all watch the
- 0:47Speaker 1: launch of the rock and that now you I don't know.
- 0:50Speaker 1: You might see it. You might see it for ten
- 0:53Speaker 1: seconds on the evening news, but that'll be about it. Hey,
- 0:56Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman should be the next governor of New York.
- 1:00Speaker 1: He be perfect for it. He's the county executive Nasau County.
- 1:05Speaker 1: That's kind of a same job as being a governor.
- 1:08Speaker 1: You're a county governor, and he's done a phenomenal job,
- 1:11Speaker 1: best county executive in America, so he's gonna run. He's
- 1:14Speaker 1: a very popular guy, especially Long Island. They love him.
- 1:19Speaker 1: And that's Nasau County is a lot like New York
- 1:21Speaker 1: State far as the demographics, it's more Democratic than Republican.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Yet he was able to win twice there. So he's
- 1:28Speaker 1: a top, top, top candidate with an excellent shot, and
- 1:33Speaker 1: he should easily get the you know, the matching funds.
- 1:36Speaker 1: You have to go before the campaign finance board to
- 1:40Speaker 1: get your matching funds. Everybody gets matching funds when you run,
- 1:47Speaker 1: so he went before the campaign finance board. It's a
- 1:52Speaker 1: pretty simple procedure. However, the problem is Democrats have corrupted
- 1:59Speaker 1: the campaign finald for New York State. And the way
- 2:01Speaker 1: they did that was the people that vote. They made
- 2:03Speaker 1: sure it was many more Democrats than Republicans. It's majority
- 2:09Speaker 1: Democrats do the voting. And if they really wanted to,
- 2:14Speaker 1: they could corrupt the whole process by not giving campaign
- 2:18Speaker 1: financing to any challengers. That way, the incumbent, like a Hocal,
- 2:22Speaker 1: easily stays in office no matching funds for the opponent. Well,
- 2:25Speaker 1: they just did that with Bruce Blakeman. Now the claiming
- 2:29Speaker 1: there was some minor paperwork error in some of his
- 2:32Speaker 1: paperwork that would take thirty seconds to correct, that's no
- 2:36Speaker 1: big deal. And if that were true, it's happened a
- 2:38Speaker 1: million times. Nobody's ever been denied funds over that. So
- 2:43Speaker 1: here's a lot of editorials about how disgusting this corruption is.
- 2:47Speaker 1: The whole idea of the Campaign Finance Board is to
- 2:50Speaker 1: level the playing field. That way a governor, you know,
- 2:52Speaker 1: if you're the sitting governor, if you're a Kathy Hokel,
- 2:55Speaker 1: even if you stink, you can raise a fortune from
- 2:59Speaker 1: all the top businesses and billionaires because they need you.
- 3:02Speaker 1: They need you to get things done, permits, regulations, whatever
- 3:05Speaker 1: they need for their business. And the way they get
- 3:08Speaker 1: that they make huge donations to your campaign. So Kathy
- 3:11Speaker 1: Hochel being the sitting governor and all those big special
- 3:16Speaker 1: interests need favors, they've donated a lot of money to
- 3:19Speaker 1: her campaign. So she's got twenty million to run with
- 3:23Speaker 1: big war chess twenty million. So the idea of the
- 3:26Speaker 1: campaign finance is the challenger, you level the playing field.
- 3:31Speaker 1: You give him matching funds, so he's got some money
- 3:33Speaker 1: to run. But again they've corrupted the campaign finance board,
- 3:38Speaker 1: so they've denied Blakeman his funds. Now he's got to
- 3:41Speaker 1: take this to court because this is totally rigging the
- 3:43Speaker 1: system and he should easily win this. There was no
- 3:47Speaker 1: reason to deny, deny anything. Even if they're claiming there
- 3:53Speaker 1: was a little error and some paperwork, that's absolutely nothing.
- 3:56Speaker 1: You know, you go to motor vehicles to get your
- 3:58Speaker 1: registration and your driver's license and they say you forgot you
- 4:00Speaker 1: put the wrong thing on this box right here. They
- 4:04Speaker 1: don't say that's it, no driver's license fee. No, they
- 4:07Speaker 1: say go correct that and come back. It's always done
- 4:10Speaker 1: that way. So this is total corruption. They're trying to
- 4:14Speaker 1: stop Blakeman and one of the reasons they were probably
- 4:17Speaker 1: told to do this. Blakeman was like twenty points behind.
- 4:20Speaker 1: That was a few weeks ago, and then the last
- 4:22Speaker 1: week or two he caught up and now he's only
- 4:25Speaker 1: ten points behind and climbing. So that's one reason they
- 4:28Speaker 1: were probably told deny him the funds. Now, this is
- 4:32Speaker 1: just a total corrupt act. It's going to backfire and
- 4:35Speaker 1: gonna help Blakeman because they'll take this to a higher court.
- 4:38Speaker 1: He'll appeal. This is people start to hear this, it
- 4:41Speaker 1: really turns you off to the Democrats running New York.
- 4:44Speaker 1: This is the problem. You have a one party rule
- 4:46Speaker 1: the whole state. This kind of crap happens when one
- 4:50Speaker 1: party controls city Hall, controls the city Council controls the
- 4:53Speaker 1: state controls the Assembly, controls the state Senate, to control everything.
- 4:58Speaker 1: They can get away with this crap. You know, President Trump,
- 5:01Speaker 1: remember those couple of convictions, the Alvin Bragg one and
- 5:04Speaker 1: the other one. They're totally ridiculous charges. Every real legal
- 5:08Speaker 1: scholar will tell you there was no crime at all.
- 5:11Speaker 1: What they're charging with could never stand up on an
- 5:13Speaker 1: appeal to be tossed out immediately. But because Democrats control
- 5:18Speaker 1: the state, they've delayed his appeal. Normally, after those convictions,
- 5:22Speaker 1: within six months you'd get into an appellate court. They've
- 5:26Speaker 1: delayed it. They control the whole court system. He can't
- 5:28Speaker 1: get the appeal. They're holding it up for years because
- 5:31Speaker 1: once it goes to appeal, all the charges against them
- 5:33Speaker 1: get tossed out, so they're holding it up. That's the
- 5:36Speaker 1: problem when you got one party ruling everything. It's happened
- 5:39Speaker 1: in California. It happened here. It's not good. Speaking of
- 5:44Speaker 1: not good, okay, Christy Nome, Department of Homeland Security, gets fired,
- 5:50Speaker 1: gets removed because of a lot of reasons. She's making
- 5:52Speaker 1: a mess out of Minnesota. She's shooting her mouth off,
- 5:56Speaker 1: she's escalated that situation into something absolutely inflammatory and ridiculous.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Dan it turns out she's handing out contracts in a
- 6:05Speaker 1: ridiculous manner, in a reckless manner. Then it turns out
- 6:09Speaker 1: she's going to spend two hundred million on advertising. Okay,
- 6:13Speaker 1: if it's going to help the situation at the border,
- 6:15Speaker 1: if it's going to help something with immigration. But it
- 6:18Speaker 1: turns out the whole two hundred million in advertising is
- 6:21Speaker 1: promoting her. It's commercials about her, it's her riding a horse,
- 6:25Speaker 1: her doing this, it's really her getting herself in a
- 6:28Speaker 1: position to run in twenty twenty eight. And then they
- 6:31Speaker 1: look at the contracts. They're just overpaying for everything. And
- 6:35Speaker 1: then she's sleeping with the boyfriend. She's married and he's married,
- 6:38Speaker 1: but they're having some kind of affair. And then she
- 6:41Speaker 1: spent seventy million on a private business jet, a Boeing
- 6:45Speaker 1: seven fifty seven business jet. Well, it's the transport the immigrants.
- 6:50Speaker 1: They're looking at it. It's got a bedroom, it's a
- 6:52Speaker 1: luxurious interior. It's obviously for her and the boyfriend to
- 6:55Speaker 1: fly around. So she's fired. And then people say, well,
- 7:00Speaker 1: sleeping with Corey Lewandowski. What about the husband. Well, now
- 7:03Speaker 1: all this comes out about the husband. The husband is
- 7:06Speaker 1: a cross dressing. Uh. Well, it's one thing to dress
- 7:11Speaker 1: like a woman, it's another to dress like I don't
- 7:12Speaker 1: know what he's dressing like. Apparently this is some sort
- 7:15Speaker 1: of fetish that I never heard of. The fetish is
- 7:19Speaker 1: bimbo fication. It's not as you dressed like a woman,
- 7:23Speaker 1: you dress like the trashiest woman ever. So he's got
- 7:27Speaker 1: this is the husband. He's wearing hot pants, a tight
- 7:30Speaker 1: T shirt with big, huge balloons under it to look
- 7:34Speaker 1: like massive breasts. And again I never heard of this fetish.
- 7:39Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell of this. I've never
- 7:41Speaker 1: seen this anywhere, But this is her husband. She put
- 7:46Speaker 1: out a statement saying she's devastated and that the whole
- 7:50Speaker 1: family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy
- 7:54Speaker 1: and prayers at this time. Now, could you be blindsided?
- 7:57Speaker 1: Could you not know? I mean, if you're married to
- 8:00Speaker 1: someone you're living together when you notice the guy has
- 8:02Speaker 1: like twenty pairs of hotpants in the drawer, And wouldn't
- 8:05Speaker 1: you say it to somebody? What are all these balloons for?
- 8:08Speaker 1: I guess he could keep that somewhere else. But now
- 8:13Speaker 1: what does this do? Does this really screw her up
- 8:16Speaker 1: once and for all running for president? Well some argue
- 8:19Speaker 1: maybe it helps her a little because she had the
- 8:20Speaker 1: problem with having the affair, but this now would explain
- 8:25Speaker 1: why she had the fair there wasn't a normal marriage,
- 8:28Speaker 1: And also it might get some sympathy for her. But
- 8:31Speaker 1: if you look at the pictures of the husband dressed
- 8:36Speaker 1: up like that, I don't think it helps her. I
- 8:40Speaker 1: don't think it helps her now. The other thing is
- 8:44Speaker 1: she's the head of the Department of Homeland Security, and
- 8:47Speaker 1: with a husband doing this crazy stuff, she could have
- 8:49Speaker 1: been subject to blackmail. It'd be pretty easy for some
- 8:54Speaker 1: Chinese spies or Russian spies or Iranian spies to find
- 8:58Speaker 1: this stuff and blackmail her. But then, you know, to
- 9:02Speaker 1: be head of the Apartment Homeland Security, you go through
- 9:06Speaker 1: a background check and you people say, well, well, why
- 9:08Speaker 1: didn't the background check spot it? Well, you know, background
- 9:12Speaker 1: checks aren't pret you think they're not that thorough. I mean,
- 9:15Speaker 1: you fill out forms, you have to answer a million questions,
- 9:19Speaker 1: and then a real background check. They will send the
- 9:22Speaker 1: FBI around to interview your neighbors and your friends and
- 9:28Speaker 1: see what they say. And apparently all the neighbors and
- 9:30Speaker 1: friends said, great thing. That's the background check. That's it.
- 9:34Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I guess a real background check.
- 9:37Speaker 1: They should get full access to your computers to everything,
- 9:40Speaker 1: get to see everything you've met's that's tough. Now, here's
- 9:43Speaker 1: the media now showing up in South Dakota talking to
- 9:46Speaker 1: all the neighbors, and all the neighbors say they had
- 9:49Speaker 1: no idea. He seemed like such a normal, straight laced guy,
- 9:53Speaker 1: and they can't believe it. They think the pictures must
- 9:55Speaker 1: have been AI. Now apparently apparently they're real. Wasn't AI.
- 10:00Speaker 1: So we'll see the ballroom. Now, President Trump decides to
- 10:09Speaker 1: build a ballroom. Now, presidents have talked about it for
- 10:13Speaker 1: decades and decades. There's no ballroom in the White House.
- 10:17Speaker 1: There's the East Room that's the largest room, but you
- 10:20Speaker 1: really only get about one hundred people in there. And
- 10:22Speaker 1: there's a lot of big events that are done at
- 10:26Speaker 1: the White House important dinners for foreign leaders, important events
- 10:30Speaker 1: where you need four hundred people or five hundred. And
- 10:33Speaker 1: what they do is they put a tent out on
- 10:35Speaker 1: the lawn, which is ridiculous. A big tent out on
- 10:40Speaker 1: the lawn. You know, it's like you're at a wedding
- 10:43Speaker 1: in Great Neck or something at somebody's backyard. It's you know,
- 10:47Speaker 1: they're on the grass. The world leaders can't believe when
- 10:50Speaker 1: they come to the big event at the White House,
- 10:52Speaker 1: they got to go out in a tent. And you know,
- 10:55Speaker 1: when it's out in a tent on the lawn, that
- 10:58Speaker 1: means you got to use porta potties. So here's people
- 11:01Speaker 1: in tuxedos at a big event in the White Is
- 11:02Speaker 1: using the porta party And again it's ridiculous. And of
- 11:06Speaker 1: course a lot of times you're going to do this
- 11:08Speaker 1: out in the lawn and it rains and it's muddy.
- 11:10Speaker 1: It's just ridiculous to not have a major ballroom. The
- 11:14Speaker 1: problem is, how do you get a ballroom built. That's
- 11:16Speaker 1: pretty tough, you know, to build a whole ballroom at
- 11:19Speaker 1: the White House. Well, it turns out you now have
- 11:22Speaker 1: a president who is the greatest expert in America at
- 11:26Speaker 1: building ballrooms. He does it all the time, and all
- 11:29Speaker 1: the ballrooms he builds are spectacular in all of his hotels.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Mar A Lago's a good example. Easy the world expert
- 11:36Speaker 1: and how to build a ballroom, and he decides, I'll
- 11:39Speaker 1: build it. I'll raise the money. Also, remember if the
- 11:41Speaker 1: government tried to build a ballroom. First of all, they
- 11:44Speaker 1: don't know how to do it, and it won't look
- 11:47Speaker 1: good if they design it. But if the government tried
- 11:49Speaker 1: to do a ballroom, it would take ten years and
- 11:52Speaker 1: it would cost four billion dollars. If Trump does it,
- 11:56Speaker 1: it'll take five months and cost two hundred million, because
- 12:00Speaker 1: he knows how to do it, and he's got all
- 12:02Speaker 1: the architects, contractors, everything. So naturally, even though it's a
- 12:06Speaker 1: great idea, everybody's always agreed we need this, because it's Trump,
- 12:10Speaker 1: they have to oppose it. So, because it's Trump Trump
- 12:13Speaker 1: derangement syndrome, they got to go nuts and oppose it.
- 12:16Speaker 1: So they've been taking it to every court everywhere. Well,
- 12:18Speaker 1: they got a judge yesterday, a left wing judge, to
- 12:22Speaker 1: halt the ballroom, Judge Richard Leon And look at the
- 12:25Speaker 1: picture of this guy's a real left wing PBS Atlantic
- 12:30Speaker 1: magazine Morning Joke. Look at him, he's got a bow
- 12:33Speaker 1: tie on, and he must be It must be stopped.
- 12:38Speaker 1: The President does not own the White House. He's merely
- 12:40Speaker 1: the Stewart. Congress must approve it, and that's it. The
- 12:45Speaker 1: President spoke about the ballroom.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Four hundred and fifty years they've wanted a ballroom here.
- 12:50Speaker 2: We're going to have to find this for him, I believe,
- 12:51Speaker 2: anywhere in the world. And he said, we need congressional approval. Well,
- 12:56Speaker 2: they don't get congressional approval though. It's when they do
- 12:59Speaker 2: things they don't. Actually, when we didn't ask for any
- 13:01Speaker 2: tax money, we have no taxes. Is tax payer free.
- 13:05Speaker 2: We have no tax payer putting up ten cents.
- 13:08Speaker 1: So obviously you need it. I mean, it's a no brainer. Now.
- 13:11Speaker 1: The only thing is, I'm looking at the pictures of
- 13:16Speaker 1: the whole completed project. It looks too big, doesn't it.
- 13:19Speaker 1: It's bigger than the White House. So you're at the
- 13:20Speaker 1: White House and the west wing this way, and the
- 13:23Speaker 1: east wing goes this way, and at the end of
- 13:24Speaker 1: the east wing it's a structure almost bigger than the
- 13:27Speaker 1: White House. It's kind of a weird look, but hey,
- 13:30Speaker 1: he's the expert, and it was originally going to hold
- 13:32Speaker 1: eight hundred. Well then it became twelve hundred. It just
- 13:36Speaker 1: got bigger and bigger. But now here's the other problem.
- 13:39Speaker 1: He decided, as long as he's building this thing underneath,
- 13:42Speaker 1: we've got a lot of space underneath this ballroom to
- 13:44Speaker 1: make it very important. Put in security stuff, bunkers, command center, hospital,
- 13:50Speaker 1: there's all sorts of stuff there. So the crazy left
- 13:54Speaker 1: wing judge's decision holds that up too. So we'll see
- 13:58Speaker 1: where this goes. This has got to be appealed, and
- 14:01Speaker 1: they will appeal it. Hey, at the same time as
- 14:04Speaker 1: a federal judge, another left wing kook who blocked Trump
- 14:08Speaker 1: from cutting the funding for NPR and PBS, saying that
- 14:13Speaker 1: it's a First Amendment. They have a right to freedom
- 14:15Speaker 1: of speech. You can't cut their funding to suppress expression
- 14:20Speaker 1: you don't like. Well, it's not a case of that.
- 14:22Speaker 1: It's a case of and PBS and NPR. And I
- 14:25Speaker 1: say this as someone who worked at PBS for many, many,
- 14:27Speaker 1: many years. They shouldn't have gotten into the business of
- 14:31Speaker 1: partisan news, activist newscast. It's fine if they wanted, there's
- 14:36Speaker 1: no reason they even them do news. The idea of
- 14:38Speaker 1: PBS was to give you a programming you couldn't get
- 14:41Speaker 1: anywhere else. Well, there are plenty of newscasts. There's in fact,
- 14:45Speaker 1: three or four or five full time, twenty four hour
- 14:48Speaker 1: news channels. You don't need them to do any news.
- 14:51Speaker 1: And if they want to do news, fine, But they
- 14:53Speaker 1: started doing the most slanted left wing partisan news. So
- 14:57Speaker 1: that's the good reason to cut the funding. Except now,
- 15:00Speaker 1: what does this mean that the judge says you can't
- 15:01Speaker 1: cut the funding, Well, not much because most of the
- 15:05Speaker 1: damage has been done to public broadcasting. They cut, you know,
- 15:09Speaker 1: all the programs, they shut down the Corporation for Public broadcase,
- 15:12Speaker 1: they already shut everything down. So I don't know what
- 15:15Speaker 1: it means. But again, this will all get appealed and
- 15:18Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
