Mets Opening Day is tomorrow, 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: So baseball season underway as of tonight. A lot to 12 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 2: get to today. We'll get to the latest on Iran 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 2: negotiations are taking place, that has been confirmed by both sides. 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: Now they've been taking place. We'll get to the latest 15 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: on Iran. We'll get to Savannah Guthrie, We'll get to LaGuardia, 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: and we'll get to crazy Mayor Mom Donnie, who now 17 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: wants to put tariffs on businesses here in New York. 18 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: The TSA, now it's interesting. The TSA still a big, 19 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: big shortage. Ice agents are doing a great job in 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: the airport. Despite what Chuck Schumer said, they're not shooting 21 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: people despite what Blumenthal and all the other Democrats that 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: there would be in the airport brutalizing people shooting, no 23 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: gun find in the airport from ICE agents. And the 24 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: problem is they've now made the negotiations are taking place 25 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: between the Republicans and the Democrats. They've actually made a 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: lot of progress in the negotiations, Republicans submitting to the 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: Democrats a deal that would be exactly what they wanted, 28 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: and Democrats turning it down. Now. The reason they're turning 29 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: it down is they believe, through their own polling, through 30 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: their own surveys, that the voters are blaming the Republicans 31 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: right now, there's no reason to do that. The Republicans 32 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: aren't really behind this, but that's what they believe is 33 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 2: the perception. So as long as they think the Republicans 34 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: are getting blamed, they'll keep this shutdown going. And this 35 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: tsa problem going. As long as it looks like it's 36 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 2: helping them, doesn't matter what's really true. So that's why 37 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: the delay they've offered the Republicans are offered every now. 38 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: The problem is the Republicans have to do more messaging wise. Now, 39 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,279 Speaker 2: you got to remember, the Democrats will blame the Republicans 40 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: and the fake news the media will join in and 41 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: blame the Republicans. So for people not paying such close attention, 42 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: there's the perception that the Republicans that close down the government, 43 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 2: which when it's actually not true. So Republicans have to 44 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: do more. They got to go to the airports. They 45 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 2: got to hold press conferences there. They got to be 46 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: right there for great visuals, great optics, and explain what's 47 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: really going on. They're reporters all over. Let's see the 48 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: Atlanta Airport. 49 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: And there seems to be war lines open than normal 50 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 3: right now with the TSA workers here breezing people through. 51 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: In fact, a lot of folks have been showing up 52 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 3: shot at how short the lines are. 53 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, the ICE agents have pretty much solved the problem 54 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: in a lot of airports. But again Republicans have to 55 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: go there, bring the cameras there, and let everybody see this. 56 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: Let's check the Philadelphia Airport. 57 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 4: ICE agents have arrived here in Philadelphia, but I do 58 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 4: want to point out this is an empty line right now. 59 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 4: We are standing in the middle where travelers come to 60 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 4: check in for TSA. Yesterday this was all the way 61 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: back to the garage. So good news today lines aren't 62 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 4: too bad. 63 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: TSA helping out Phoenix Airport. 64 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 4: Most of the travelers we spoke would say, well, it's disappointing. 65 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 4: The current shutdown is having a negative impact on TSA staff. 66 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 4: They're pleased to see ICE agents stepping it. 67 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 5: They're protecting us. 68 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, you need more coverage of this. Republican's 69 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: got to play this up. They got to force the 70 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: media to cover this a little more. Now, what is 71 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: it with Democrats and the ICE agents? They hate these 72 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: ICE agents. They've been a couple of ugly incidents, but 73 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: it's a billionth of one percent. Why do they hate 74 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: these ICE agents so much. Well, because they're rounding up 75 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: illegals and getting them out of the country, especially the 76 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: criminal illegal aliens. Democrats want the illegals here. It's very 77 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: important to them. Now Chris Murphy, he's this crazy, awful 78 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: Connecticut senator, but the Democrats love him because he says 79 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: the most outlandish far left things in the world. In fact, 80 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 2: there are a lot of Democrats are now looking to 81 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: dump Schumer as the leader. Get rid of Schumer in 82 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: the Senate and put in Chris Murphy. Big push. Now, 83 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: get Schumer out and put in Chris Murphy. But listen 84 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 2: to this Chris Murphy speaking yesterday, and he's always on 85 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: every wherever there's a camera there, he is. He's as 86 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: bad as Schumer, just always running around doing TV shows, appearances. 87 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: But he slipped, he slipped. He actually spoke the truth 88 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: out loud. They're really just for illegals, more for illegals 89 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: than for Americans. Listen to Murphy make this slip. 90 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 5: That's been a failed play for twenty years. 91 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 6: So you are right that that has been the Democratic 92 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 6: strategy for thirty years maybe, and it has failed to 93 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 6: deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented 94 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 6: Americans that are in this country. 95 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 2: The people we care about most, the undocumented. He actually 96 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: said it out loud. So it'll continue, but we'll see, 97 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: negotiations will continue. The lines are much better ICE agents 98 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: and again they're not shooting anybody all over the place. 99 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: Remember the crazy Bloomenthal in Connecticut said they would be 100 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: shooting people and brutalizing people and grabbing kids away from 101 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: their families. He actually said that. Hakim Jeffrey said that 102 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: kind of stuff. And even Corey Booker jumped in yesterday 103 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 2: trying to say that these ICE agents they're violent, they're terrible. 104 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 3: He's taking that agency that is recklessly out of control 105 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: and bringing them tots under the lie that somehow. 106 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: This is gonna help deal with the long lines that 107 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 2: he created in the first place. This is an outrage Well, 108 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 2: the outrageous booker waited a couple of days too long, 109 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: because we've already done it for a couple of days, 110 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: and we've seen that they did make the lines longer. 111 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 2: They actually made the lions shorter. Tom Homan responded. 112 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 7: He's misleading American people. He's lying. I want him to 113 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 7: give me one example, just one when ices went into 114 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 7: a church to wrest somebody, or we went into a 115 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 7: hospital to wrest somebody, or we went into an elementary 116 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 7: school to wrest somebody. Just give me one example. You 117 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 7: know why he can't. There isn't anything. 118 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they just make up this stuff. They get 119 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: on MSNBC, they go on Morning Joe and they say 120 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: they're arresting people in churches, they're arresting people in hospitals. 121 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: A lot of people talking about Morning Joe yesterday the 122 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: argument was against the Save Act and Morning Joe pointing 123 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 2: to Mika and saying Mika does not know where her 124 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: birth certificate is. She can't find it, so she can't 125 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: vote in this country. Under this act, she cannot vote. 126 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: And a lot of people falling for this. This is 127 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: totally misleading every American. If you don't have your birth certificate, 128 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: you can get it replaced in two seconds. There's dozens 129 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: of websites you can go to. The government has one, 130 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: and there's plenty of private ones. You can go to 131 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: these websites. Just google it. Just google replacement birth certificate 132 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: and hundreds of websites will come up. You can go 133 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: to any of these websites. All you can do is 134 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: type in your information. They will find your birth certificate 135 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: and for a little fee, they'll send you a new 136 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: birth certificate. You can have it in about four days. 137 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: Anybody can get a replacement birth certificate. It's it's very 138 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 2: easy to use. So they're totally totally misleading America. And 139 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: always count on Chuck Schumer. He's the one that says this. 140 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: Women are too stupid, they don't know how to get ID. 141 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: Minority voters too stupid, they don't know how to get 142 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: an ID. 143 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 8: Let's make it very clear, Donald Trump is the one 144 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 8: standing in the way of paychecks. For TSA workers with 145 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 8: a ridiculous attempt to pass the Save Act. Yeah, the 146 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 8: Save Act, which would destroy a lot of what we 147 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 8: know about democracy. 148 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: It Save Act just means you've got to be a 149 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: citizen to vote destroy democracy. Anyway, let's get to Iran. 150 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: There are negotiations tacond place. As we've been telling you, 151 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: Iran did put out a statement Monday, we have not 152 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: had any talks with the US. Well, technically that's true, 153 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: but they were kind of lying to you. We have 154 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: been in negotiations for quite a few days with Iran. 155 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: They were using a third party intermediary to negotiate. We 156 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: go through the third party. They go through the third party. 157 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: It's another nation. That's why Iran was technically able to 158 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: say we've had no talks with the US. They've been 159 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: working through a third party. Negotiations are They're going as expected. 160 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: The Iran is asked for all kinds of things that 161 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: we're never going to give them. They want control of everything. 162 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 2: There's President Trump on negotiation. 163 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 9: They're talking to us and they're talking sense. And remember 164 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 9: it all starts that they cannot have a nuclear weapon. 165 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 9: Just you know, I said yesterday they said, what are 166 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 9: the top ten. I said, well, number one, two and 167 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 9: three is they can't have a nuclear weapon. 168 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 2: Okay, now here's what it'll probably come down to. Iran 169 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: has given us like fourteen demands, twelve of which are ridiculous. 170 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 2: I think what it's going to come down to, they'll 171 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: end us at some point. The Straits of Hormuz. Now 172 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 2: it's not open technically, but there are ships coming through 173 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: the Straits of Hormoose right now and have been this week. 174 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 2: About ninety ships have come through, and they're ships that 175 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: are delivering Iranian oil and they're letting those ships through. Now, 176 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 2: the way they do it is they give them a code. 177 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 2: This is what they do also in a war in 178 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: the air, you know, when we're bombing the hell out 179 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 2: of Iraq and Israel's going to help us, other countries 180 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: are going to help us. Each plane has to transmit 181 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 2: a code. If it has the right code, we don't 182 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: attack them. They're allowed into the combat zone. So they're 183 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: using that technology on the Straits of horm Moose. If 184 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 2: the tanker has the right code, it can go through 185 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 2: the straits without being attacked. It transmits that code. Now, 186 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 2: what Iran is going to propose and so far, they've 187 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: let ninety ships come through because those ships are delivering 188 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: their oil. What they're going to propose is the use 189 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: that code system on tankers for anybody wants to get 190 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: through the Straits of horm Moose. If it's not one 191 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: of their tankers, they're going to want a fee, a 192 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 2: big fee. They're going to charge money to come through 193 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 2: the Straits of horm Moose. This is what the negotiation 194 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 2: will probably come down to, and from now on it'll 195 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 2: be a revenue generator. We'll have to pay to come 196 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: through the Straits of horm Moose. Now this is not unusual. 197 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: Egypt has been doing this for years with the Siuez Canal. 198 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 2: You got to pay a fee to go through the 199 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: Siuez Canal, bring your tanker through there. Now, it's not outrageous. 200 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: We do it all the time. You got to pay 201 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: a feed across every bridge, to go through every tunnel, 202 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: you got to pay a fee. It's easy pass congestion pricing, 203 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 2: all that stuff. So that's probably going to be the 204 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 2: final thing that'll settle this Iran making a fee off that, 205 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: and they're gonna need money. They're gonna need to rebuild 206 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 2: the country, so it'll probably work. It'll come down to that. Hey, 207 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 2: LaGuardia Airport. Well, it looks like I mean, the controller 208 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: looks like he just went brain dead allowing the truck 209 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: to come onto the runway when he had already cleared 210 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 2: a plane to land. But I guess they're trying to 211 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: help the controller a little. I mean, it's just they're 212 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: saying it was a number of errors. So it was 213 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: that error, but it was also a number of errors. 214 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: There weren't enough controllers on the fire truck didn't have 215 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 2: a transponder. There's radar that keeps track of all the 216 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 2: planes in the air, but they also have ground radar 217 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 2: keeps track of every vehicle on the ground and matches 218 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 2: it up the planes. And to do that, each vehicle 219 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: has to have a transponder transmitting a signal. That's how 220 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: the radar picks it up. And that fire truck didn't 221 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: have a transponder on it. But most fire trucks usually 222 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,119 Speaker 2: don't have a working transponder. But here's the spokesman. 223 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 10: We have no indication there were transponders on any of 224 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 10: the trucks, but there are transponders on other trucks at 225 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 10: other airports. Across the nation. In this case, they did 226 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 10: not have transponders. 227 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're coming of all these explanations, but really 228 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: that controller he already cleared a plane to land. Once 229 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: you clear a plane to land, the plane owns the runway. 230 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 2: Nothing else comes on. So it was a big mistake. Now, 231 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: how many controllers were on? Were there enough? 232 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 10: We have identified the midshift generally as concern in other investigations, 233 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 10: largely due to fatigue because it spans that time frame 234 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 10: at your circadian low during the day when you're most fatigued. 235 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: I don't know, there's a little too much explanation the 236 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: circadian level, the fatigue when you're landing. I don't think 237 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: you want to know that the controller might be falling asleep. 238 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 2: Circadian level has to do with falling asleep fatigue. Do 239 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: you want a guy that's actually awake and watching the runway? 240 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 2: So hey, I did check on those some argument yesterday. 241 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: Whose fire trucks are they? They're not NYFD. I met 242 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: with the commissioner, the fire commissioner and all the top brass. 243 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 2: They do not control those fire trucks. They do come 244 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 2: in if it's a big fire. Those are Port Authority 245 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: fire trucks at the airport run by port authority. Are 246 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: they as good as NYFD? Nobody would answer on the record, 247 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 2: but I saw the looks in their faces, So you 248 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: don't don't count so much on those Port authority fire trucks, 249 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: not like the New York Fire Department, but when they're 250 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 2: in trouble and it's a big fire, they call in 251 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 2: the NAFD. But those were port authority fire trucks. And 252 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: again they didn't have transponders. There's a lot wrong with 253 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: the way things were run at LaGuardia Airport. Hey, Savannah 254 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: Guthrie finally did the first interview when she's going to 255 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: finally go on camera and talk at length. Well, Hoda 256 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 2: Cottby the Today Show did the first interview and she 257 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: broke down. She cried, it's unbearable, it's agonizing, She went 258 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: through the whole story. It's just agony, unbearable. So just 259 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: heart wrenching. But always count on NBC to totally exploit 260 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 2: the situation. They've broken it up into two parts. It's 261 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: going to be on both days Thursday, Friday. They're already 262 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 2: promoting it. They want you to watch. They'll take advantage 263 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 2: of that pain and suffering trying to get people to 264 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 2: watch the Today Show. She is going to return to 265 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: the Today Show. They're looking at April tenth for the 266 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 2: return date. Hey, we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred 267 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten is the number. 268 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: So give me a call, especially if you haven't called before. 269 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Lease give 270 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: the number again. Some people say, well, you don't give 271 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 2: the number enough. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. 272 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: Mister New York Mark simone wr. 273 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero 274 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: seven ten is the number. Let's go to Ron in Pittsburgh. Ron, 275 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 2: how you doing? 276 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 5: I'm good, Mark, how you doing today? 277 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 2: Good? 278 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 11: Hey? Love your show. Hey love Jimmy Fayler, Thank you 279 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 11: for that. And hey, if people complaining about Bencent, please 280 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 11: keep him on because I love that guy. Hey, but 281 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 11: I got the thing I wanted to call you about. 282 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 11: I have an idea. How about Cuba is having a 283 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 11: blackout while all the green people take their soul panels 284 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 11: and windmills and get rid of all the power plants. 285 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 12: You show us how they work. 286 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 2: Well, that's a good idea, but we the Cuba will 287 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 2: be free. At some point, probably this summer, they'll free 288 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: up Cuba and then a lot of people will be 289 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: heading to Cuba for all kinds of opportunity, lots of 290 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: lots of interest in Cuba. Now you can used to 291 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 2: imagine that by the fall you could have Iran free, 292 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 2: no more dictatorship. Same thing with Cuba. You could have 293 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 2: two of the biggest problems in the world all of 294 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 2: a sudden ended. Let's go to James in Secaucus. James, 295 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: how you doing? 296 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 13: Okay? Well, I want to ask you. A fourth of 297 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 13: July of a Saturday, celebrated Friday nine to eleven is Friday. 298 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 13: Chris was in New Year's Friday. Do you think he'll 299 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 13: put that prayer rug out? And if he does, well, 300 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 13: Kathy All will do anything about it? 301 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? Well wait, wait a minute. Fourth of July is 302 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: on a Saturday this year. 303 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 13: Yeah, but they celebrated Friday a lot of places. 304 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: Oh why would they do that when it's on a Saturday. Well, anyway, 305 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: you mean they get we had Friday off that weekend, 306 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: not Monday. 307 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 13: Yes, yes, yeah, Friday. 308 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: I don't like that. We should get Friday and Monday. 309 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: We should get two days. 310 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 13: You're doing get Friday, Sadday, you get Friday, Sunday, you 311 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 13: get Monday. 312 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: Now you got me all confused. Who's on first? I 313 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: don't know? But anyway, thanks for Colin. Let's go to 314 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 2: Paul and White Plains. Paul, how you doing? 315 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 11: Mark? 316 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 12: I'm doing well, but I almost drove off the road 317 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 12: when I heard you say that Trump is going to 318 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 12: agree to allow the Iranians to tax every ship that goes. 319 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 2: Through this not not not not tax. But one thing 320 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 2: they want is a fee. It's not unreasonable. We do that. 321 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: Every country does that. 322 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 12: But but Mark didn't. 323 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 5: We all see. 324 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,959 Speaker 2: It's going to keep going every A lot of countries 325 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 2: do it. It's perfectly normal. We do it, harbors do it, 326 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: ports do it. It's not unusual. 327 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 12: But isn't it giving them sort of like a little 328 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 12: payback for for what's going on? I mean, it seems 329 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 12: to make no sense. 330 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 2: You know, I could. We could keep doing this for 331 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 2: an hour, and you're gonna keep saying that it makes 332 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: no sense. I don't. It's again, I'd rather not give 333 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 2: him a fee.

Absolutely, it was 350 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 2: preally amazing. Yeah, this poor girl was killed by this 351 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: illegal immigrant. You see very little coverage of it. Actually, 352 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 2: you know, if it was the other way around, if 353 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 2: she killed the illegal immigrant, it'd be there'd be protests 354 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: all over the street, there'd be riots would be every 355 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 2: but uh, this is getting very little attention. But good 356 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 2: for ABC is maybe they're maybe they're waking up a 357 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 2: little Let's go to Linda and Pennsylvania. Linda, how you doing? 358 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 14: I'm good? 359 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 6: Hell are you? 360 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 2: I'm good? 361 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 5: I just have a question. 362 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 16: Why is there no outraged over the fact that White 363 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 16: is flooding and SEEMA is. 364 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 12: Not being paid? 365 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 2: Say again, what's flooding? 366 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 12: Okay, Hawaii. 367 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 7: Years Oh, Hawaii, Hawaii, and you hear nothing about SEMA, 368 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 7: and yet SEMA's one of the agencies that's not being paid. 369 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point. You have a very good 370 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: point after this were Republican Congress holding this up. If 371 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 2: the Republicans held this up here, it's all you'd be 372 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 2: hearing about is Hawaii is flooding while FEMA's not being paid. 373 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: FEMA is part of a department Homeland Security, not funded 374 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: at the moment. Let's go to Dennis in Long Island. Dennis, 375 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: how you doing? 376 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 16: Hey Mack? Great? Show Mark? 377 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: Everybody says, like a character from in nineteen forties movie 378 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: Hey Mark, why. 379 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 11: Are you Mark? 380 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 16: Yeah, Schulma wants to tell Schulma wants ice to take 381 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 16: their masks go up to identify them. Whant we even 382 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 16: the playing field all protesters cannot wear a mask so 383 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,719 Speaker 16: we can identify the bad players? 384 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 5: Yeah? 385 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 2: Well, good idea. They do do that in some cities's 386 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 2: not allowed to wear a mask. But the problem is 387 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 2: you could have protesters with no masks and no, the 388 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: Republicans won't bother them, not gonna do anything about it. 389 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: But you know, the problem with a nice agent is 390 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 2: if he's not wearing a mask. In today's world, you 391 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 2: can take a picture of their face. You can reverse 392 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 2: image search it. You can find out who they are. 393 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 2: You can get their address. You can go on the 394 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 2: internet and do this, get their address, and then Democratic 395 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 2: protesters will go to their house and terrorize their children 396 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 2: and their family, yelling and screaming and causing chaos outside 397 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: their house. It's called doxing. You find the address, you 398 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 2: go to the house us and it's just going to 399 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 2: be a nightmare for these families. So that's why they 400 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 2: wear masks. Now, Republicans never do this kind of stuff, 401 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 2: never ever ever do this kind of stuff. They don't 402 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 2: surround somebody's house and try to terrorize their kids. So 403 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 2: that's the reason for the masks. They're not wearing masks 404 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: at the airports, and a lot of people are worried 405 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: about this, that they're gonna start photographing these ice agents 406 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: and start doing this stuff. So we'll see. Let's go 407 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: to Joe and NUTLEYT Joe, how you doing? 408 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 14: Yeah, Hey, Mark, how are you a longtime listener? I 409 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 14: just want to talk about the mid term elections coming up. 410 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 14: I've been hearing so much on even the Republican side, 411 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 14: how the GOP isn't going to do well in the elections, 412 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 14: and frankly, I just can't see how we can't do 413 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 14: well well. 414 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 2: No, I don't don't fall for a lot of fake 415 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 2: poles being reported. We played the clip of CNN yesterday 416 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 2: where they had a real poll and they had to 417 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 2: admit Democrats are so far underwater. They're down like fifty 418 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 2: five points unders now. But to remember, you can't predict 419 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 2: the midterms right now. People love to do it. They 420 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 2: love to predict, They love to guess. They love to 421 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 2: go to the polymarket, see where they gamblers. It doesn't 422 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: mean anything. This is like it's like trying to predict 423 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 2: who's gonna win the Super Bowl in twenty twenty eight. 424 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 2: You're way too far out to know what's gonna happen 425 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: in the midterms. It's a long way off now. Some 426 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 2: will argue that as you get into the late summer, 427 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 2: it gets set. I mean maybe in the midsummer it 428 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 2: starts to get locked in and so. But but that 429 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 2: even the midsummer, you're talking about months and months away, 430 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 2: got a long way to go.

Nobody's they haven't been able to 445 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 5: find the mother. It's been a huge public thing, and 446 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 5: I think to pave the way for her to come 447 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 5: back to work, she's got to do. Get it all 448 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 5: out on the table. So they'll do it.

Okay, well, 454 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 5: then then she'll be back April tenth. And you know, 455 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 5: she has to go back to living, her kids have 456 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 5: to go back to school, and you know, life has 457 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 5: to go back to normal, and they may never find 458 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 5: this woman. Yeah, you know, who knows what's going to happen. 459 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 2: Not the best I think that maybe it's not the 460 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 2: best thing for the Tucson Chamber of Commerce. I mean, 461 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 2: you look at that goofy sheriff and those crazy locals, 462 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 2: and oh. 463 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 5: And the mayor of Tucson has never said a word 464 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 5: about this, not a word. This woman has never spoken 465 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 5: about it. I think at the beginning she says something like, oh, 466 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 5: we have a problem in town. That was February first. 467 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 5: This woman has not done a thing to help in 468 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 5: the case. 469 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if I were looking at this, that 470 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 2: was very weird. Would not want to live in one 471 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 2: of these breaking bad kind of towns. 472 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 5: As New Yorkers, you know, we're against this generally speaking. 473 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 5: You know, I always said that in the movie Fatal Attraction, 474 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 5: when the family lived in Manhattan in an apartment building 475 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 5: with a doorman, nothing happened to them. The minute they 476 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 5: moved to the suburbs, Glenn Close got in there and 477 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 5: you know, boiled the bunny. So it took the kid hostage, 478 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 5: and you know, the whole thing. So it's much better 479 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 5: to be the city and be in a nice doorman 480 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 5: building and not have these problems. 481 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 2: Also, you'd have surveillance cameras on every inch of every block. 482 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: You would know what happened. 483 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 5: Well, this is a very weird story about missus Guthrie 484 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 5: because there doesn't seem to have been much security at 485 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 5: the house or anybody living with her. She's eighty four 486 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 5: years old and she can't walk or something. And the 487 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 5: night that she had dinner with a daughter and son 488 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 5: in law, they sent for her in an uber. They 489 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 5: didn't even go pick her up. I don't understand this 490 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 5: is not if she was so old and so infirmed, 491 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 5: they were sort of treating her like, you know, a package. 492 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 5: So there's a lot I hope that I doubt that 493 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 5: he will ask her these questions. But those are the 494 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 5: questions I would ask, like, why were you not why 495 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 5: didn't you have someone living in the house with your mother? 496 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 5: First of all, you know, and it's a remote area. 497 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they're good questions. But hey, have you been 498 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: watching this? Jfkjune your mini series? This series? 499 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 5: I watched a little bit of it, you. 500 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 9: Know, you. 501 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 2: Around for the real around how realistic does it look? 502 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,479 Speaker 5: And not really realistic at all? And I'm sort of 503 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 5: offended by the fact that people are doing these uh 504 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 5: you know, they're dressing up as John Kennedy Jr. And 505 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 5: they're having contests about who looks like him and all this. 506 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 5: It's it's offensive. They died in a really terrible accident 507 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 5: and none of these people knew him. The people who 508 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 5: made the TV show didn't know him. And you see 509 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 5: a lot of people who worked for John complaining now 510 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 5: and saying that the show has no bearing on the truth. 511 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,239 Speaker 5: Of course, Jack Schlossberg doesn't you know, believe it, and 512 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 5: has you know, really criticized Ryan Murphy. And also don't 513 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 5: don't remember, you know, don't forget Carol Bessett died and 514 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 5: her sister dies, So how hard is this show? You know? 515 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 5: For the that family. I think it's just exploitation. 516 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 2: Oh definitely. But they really went the great length and 517 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: expense to recreate all the locations of the nineties. All 518 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 2: the streets are filled with nineties cars. It does have 519 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: a good look to it. I know it brings back 520 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 2: a lot of memories. Hey, yeah, I don't know if 521 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 2: they're good memories. Yeah, tell us about Paul McCartney. What's 522 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 2: he up to? 523 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 5: Paul McCartney. The other day he started posting cryptic messages 524 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 5: on Instagram and now he's now even more cryptic messages 525 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 5: came out overnight and it looks like he's going to 526 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 5: be announcing a new album maybe tomorrow today, Tomorrow, Friday. 527 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 5: And it's amazing because he's going to be eighty four 528 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 5: and he never stops. And the album is called The 529 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 5: Boys of Dungeon Lane. Dungeon Lane is a street in 530 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 5: Liverpool where he grew up, where they all grew up. 531 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 5: And I think it's going to be a very autobiographical 532 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 5: album about his young days. And then, of course this 533 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 5: Friday and Saturday, he's playing two shows in Los Angeles 534 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 5: at the Fonda Theater. Were seats about twelve hundred people 535 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 5: each night and of course, the thing is totally sold 536 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 5: out and people are going to be lined up around 537 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 5: the block to try to get in. You know, he 538 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 5: did this a couple of years ago at the Bowie 539 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 5: at the Barry Ballroom here in New York. I went 540 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 5: to it. Getting into it, you literally had to give 541 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 5: a kidney to get in there. And the Barry Ballroom 542 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 5: is only about half as many seats. I think it's 543 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 5: five seventy five and everybody stood and it was an 544 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 5: amazing show. I'm sure that people in LA will have 545 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 5: a similar experience. And then I guess maybe the album 546 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 5: will come out for his eighty fourth birthday in June. 547 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 2: So from Penny Lane to That's pretty cool Penny Lane 548 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 2: to Dungeon Lane. 549 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 5: A Dungeon Lane, right, there are a lot of lanes 550 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 5: apparently in Liverpool. 551 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: Barry Manilow, what's going on with him? 552 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 5: You know, Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond, all these guys in 553 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 5: their eighties are putting out music. Barry Manilow has has 554 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 5: had a hit all winter on adult contemporary radio. It's 555 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 5: called Once Before you Go. Babyface remixed it and it 556 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 5: turned out to me a little bit of a hit. 557 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 5: So he's got a whole album coming out next month, 558 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 5: but all new songs. Health Wise, he has lung cancer 559 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 5: and he was operated on and it looks like he's 560 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 5: done very well. He's done very well and he's going 561 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 5: to start touring again next month. Oh okay, well that's great, 562 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 5: so it's pretty cool. And then Neil Diamond, he's putting 563 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 5: out an unreleased album from from decades ago that he 564 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 5: never put out. And now I kind of tell you 565 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 5: the first song is great. You know, the Neil Diamond 566 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 5: stuff I love is like solitary man. You know, it's 567 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 5: that before all that, you know, I am I said, 568 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 5: and all that and Hello America. But this album, this 569 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 5: song sounds pretty good. So maybe the album is nice. 570 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: It sounds pretty good to the musicologists and they love 571 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 2: but you know, there's a reason it was unreleased. You know, 572 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 2: they always give you the album we put back. The 573 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 2: missing cut wasn't missing. They just didn't want to use 574 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 2: it. It wasn't that good. 575 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 5: So yeah, but this this song sounds pretty good. 576 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 577 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not a big Neil Diamond fan, but 578 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 5: I give him credit. You know, these guys keep plugging away. 579 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 5: You know, it's like as long as we're alive, we 580 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 5: just keep going. Nobody wants to retire. 581 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, we only got about thirty seconds left. Tell 582 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 2: us how Broadway's doing.
