1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: This is seven to ten o R Boy, The Mark

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Simon Show starts.

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 2: Now, Hey, it's Friday. We've got through the week. We

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: got a lot to get to. Today, we'll get to

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: the loss of our great friend, the beloved Ernie and

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: ASTs we'll talk about him. We'll get to we'll give

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: you the very latest on the war in a couple

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: of minutes. We'll get to the save act that, we'll

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: get to crazy mom, Donnie, he's doing even more crazy stuff.

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: Speaking of crazy, that sheriff in the Nancy Guthrie case

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: sounding a little nuts and a little suspicious. We'll get

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: to all of that coming up, and let's get you

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: the latest on the war. Iran's new leader, son of

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: the Iahtola, the new Iahtola, is now believed to be

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: not only wounded we kept saying as facial lacerations, it's

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: now believed he's probably disfigured. In fact, Secretary Hexath on

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: camera this morning, daring him to appear on camera and

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: let's see what he looks like. We know he lost

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: a leg, we know he's been in a coma, severe

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 2: facial lacerations, but Hexith saying and he would have more

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: intelligence on this than anybody that he has disfigured, and

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: that's why written statements are coming out, and he has

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: not spoken publicly about anything. So we'll see what happens

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: with that. Straits of horn Moose will probably get reopened,

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: probably next week. The attacks on these tankers are done

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: in two ways. One by drones which are unmanned and

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: can be directed from far away drones with explosives. And

28
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: the other thing is these speedboats loaded with explosives that

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: hit the tanker. Those are also unmanned and like a drone,

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: can be controlled from many miles away. So you got

31
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: to get rid of all this stuff. They're getting rid

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: of those speedboats one by one. You just got to

33
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: take them all out. As far as drones, and these

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: are the most dangerous. Missiles are easier to blow up

35
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: stop because we can see the launchers, we can see

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: where they're launched from. We've taken out ninety percent of

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: the missiles. Ninety percent of the missiles are gone. Drones

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: are tougher because you can't see them. They might be

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: hidden in a basement in a garage until they're suddenly

40
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: pulled out. But it's believed we've taken out ninety five

41
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: percent of their drones ran. Yesterday released a picture, a

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: photograph of a warehouse that they had filled with the

43
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: state of the art drones, hundreds and hundreds of drones

44
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: in this warehouse. They released the pictures, I guess to

45
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: intimidate us, but they're probably not thinking in the pictures

46
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: that they released. There's probably some tags in there, meta

47
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: tags data somewhere in the pictures that might give a

48
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: hint as to where they're located. So not too smart

49
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: on their part. Now, you've got to remember something at

50
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: the end of a war, at the end of a war,

51
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: casualties go way way up. Always at the end of

52
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: the war with Japan, in the last few weeks they

53
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: went crazy fighting back. It's a last dying breath, last gasp,

54
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: and they killed more Americans in those last couple of weeks.

55
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: Something happened in Afghanistan. So when you see it ramping up,

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: when you see more return fire, more cast that, that's

57
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: when you know they're in their last throws and dying.

58
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: We lost four servicemen yesterday. Now this was not in

59
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: a combat or fire or friendly fire. It was a

60
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: refueling plane that crashed, not in Iran, but in Iraq.

61
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: They still haven't figured out what caused the crash, but

62
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: we lost four people. They would bring it up to

63
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: about ten service people lost in the last few weeks,

64
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: which is horrible. But you also have to remember, and

65
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: people aren't aware of this, we lose a lot of

66
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: servicemen and women without war, just in training accidents, about

67
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: thirty five a year. That's like three a month that

68
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: we lose. It happens all the time with war without war,

69
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: but it's just just terrible. They are less launches every

70
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: day of missiles and all that stuff. They are have

71
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: been st the president. We don't know what it is,

72
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: but he is talking about unleashing weapons on Iran that

73
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: nobody has seen yet. He did that in Venezuela with

74
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: those combobulator bombs that just made everybody paralyzed instantly. So

75
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: there's apparently some stuff they're gonna unleash at any point

76
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: in Iran. And yesterday, it was last night on X

77
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: and Twitter that he made that statement. That's got everybody upset. Now,

78
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: you got to remember, people that hate the president, they

79
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: go nuts when he says these crazy things. People that

80
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 2: love the president back what he's doing. But then sometimes

81
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: he'll say something and they'll go, oh God, why does

82
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: he have to talk like that? Why does he have

83
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: to say things like that? Well, that's the way he is.

84
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: He will shoot his mouth off. He's not a politician.

85
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: He's totally unfiltered. He will say things you're not supposed

86
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: to say. He'll talk in away you're not supposed to talk.

87
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: But is the great New York legend, Robert Morgenthaw, who

88
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: was one of the smartest guys I ever knew. And

89
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: we were all together, Donald Trump, Robert Morganhal, myself, and

90
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of people. And when he'd leave the room,

91
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: Trump would leave the room. Sometimes people would say to Morgan, thought,

92
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: what is it? Why does he have to worry? And

93
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: Morganhaal would always say, and you should always remember this

94
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: rule he goes when it comes to Donald. Never listen

95
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: to what he says. Just watch what he does. And

96
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: it's a good rule. Don't pay attention to anything he says.

97
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: Just watch what he does. And if you look back

98
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: on his track record, he gets it done, He gets results,

99
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: He accomplishes things nobody ever thought would get accomplished. We

100
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: were talking about yesterday. Every president and politician for fifty

101
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: years promised to end our dependency on foreign oil. He

102
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: actually got it done. He did it, so he'll get

103
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: it done now. The other thing is you got what

104
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 2: they call the Pannikins as opposed to Republicans, the Panicans

105
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: who panic every time you're in the middle of something.

106
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: You remember when the terriffs were first announced and the

107
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: stock market plunged a billion points in five seconds and

108
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: everybody was panicking. Well, it not only came right back

109
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: two weeks later, but it went to all time highs.

110
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: It set new records. So it's the same thing here.

111
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 2: Oil prices will spike. Straits of her moose are closed.

112
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: This has happened before with the straits of her moose.

113
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 2: There's a lot of times in the past during wars,

114
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: during the Gulf War, during the Iraq War, during this

115
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: war where you couldn't get through the straits of her

116
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: moose and ships were being attacked and ended up needing

117
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: navy escort. This has happened before. So you'll see this

118
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: spike and it'll all get resolved, and it'll spike will

119
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: go away. Not only will oil prices come down, they'll

120
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: hit all time lows. After all of this is over

121
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: to another rule to remember, don't follow the big Washington

122
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: experts or the media experts when they tell you about Trump.

123
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: In fact, a good rule. A lot of gamblers have

124
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: figured this out. Whatever the experts tell you, bet against them.

125
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: Whatever Trump tells you, bet with them. Don't go with

126
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,119
Speaker 2: the experts. And what they tell you is going to happen,

127
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: it won't happen. Now, there is an island called Carg Island.

128
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: It's a little island, but it contains almost all of

129
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: the oil refinery supplies, all the tanks of Iran. Carg

130
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: Island is like ninety two percent of the oil export

131
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: capability of Iran. Everything is on Carg Island. We have

132
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: not hit it. That's a final, absolute last straw. If

133
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: we had to, if we took out Carg Island, that

134
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: is the end of Iran as far as their economy.

135
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: It would completely devastate their economy for decades. So we

136
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: haven't hit it. We could also seize it and try

137
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: to just take it from them, or we could also

138
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: just blow it up, and that's the end of any

139
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: hope of an economy ever ever coming back in Iran.

140
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: So kind of crazy that they put everything on that

141
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: one island, but the president at some point will threaten

142
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: him with carg Island if they don't get a new regime.

143
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: The crazy thing he said today was as she was.

144
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: Last night he put out a tweet that Iran was

145
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: threatening us again, and then he said on Twitter, this

146
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: is in writing, way do you see what they get

147
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: hit with tomorrow? And his exact words were, way, do

148
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: you see what we do to these deranged scumbags tomorrow.

149
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to talk like that when you're a president.

150
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: I think the reason for it was, you know, these

151
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: old deep state guys, these Washington swamp people, they're all

152
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 2: yelling and screamage. The messaging is wrong. He's got to

153
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 2: have the right messaging. You really don't. You can have confused,

154
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: contradictory messaging. It's actually a great idea because it just

155
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: confuses the enemy. You don't want clear messaging because then

156
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: the enemy knows where you are, what you're going to do.

157
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: And when they say, well, he hasn't explained the purpose

158
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: that you don't need to explain the purpose of this.

159
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,359
Speaker 2: You're talking about the Iotola, biggest terrorist in the world

160
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: with his death to America, tea shirt funding Hesbala the hoodies,

161
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: every terrorist, everything on it. It's the biggest terrorist on earth.

162
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: You don't have to explain why you took him out.

163
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: That's pretty obvious. But you're not supposed to talk like

164
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: that with the range scumbag. You're not supposed to use

165
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: that kind of language. So what happened about thirty six

166
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: hours ago? So actually about twenty four hours ago, they

167
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: got I don't want to mention names here, but a

168
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 2: bunch of the inner circle of the president got some

169
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: of the wisest old Washington hands on how you're supposed

170
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: to talk in a situation like this, and the conference

171
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 2: tom in with President Trump to tell him how to

172
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 2: message this, how to address this, how to speak to this.

173
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys told me this. I said, first

174
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: of all, this is going to last ten minutes and

175
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: they'll forget about it. But also, you know him will

176
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: probably go the opposode. I think that's what happened. This

177
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: was a reaction to that conference call, which he didn't

178
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: want to hear. So, hey, we'll get to Corey Lewandowski

179
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: coming up. He may have some real trouble. Hey. Arn Astes,

180
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 2: the legendary New York news man, was one of the

181
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: finest people I ever knew. He was the nicest guy ever.

182
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: You know that big, smiling, happy, positive Ernie you saw

183
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: on TV, Well, that was Ernie off the air every second,

184
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 2: every day everywhere. Everybody that knew him loved him. Everybody

185
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: that ever worked with him loved him. I don't know

186
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: anybody else you could say that about, but people loved

187
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: Ernie Anastes. He was a terrific guy, an excellent newsman.

188
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: He came to New York. It was back in the seventies,

189
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: and in those days, TV news, local TV news was

190
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: a very big deal. It's not anymore. Very few people

191
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: watched the six or eleven o'clock news. It's not a

192
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 2: big deal. They're lucky if they have, you know, a

193
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: few hundred thousand people watching. But in those days, six

194
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: o'clock eleven o'clock news on Channel seven, Channel four, Channel two,

195
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: millions of people would watch, and the anchors were getting

196
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: millions of dollars a year, and it was a big deal,

197
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: and those anchors were of amazing quality. You go back,

198
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: you look at can you name the anchors on Channel

199
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: two right now? No, who's the six o'clock news anchor

200
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: on Channel four? I don't know. Nobody knows. I watch it,

201
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 2: I don't know who it is, nobody knows whether people.

202
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: You don't know who they're, nobody knows who they are. Nobody.

203
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: So back then it was Legends, it was Channel seven,

204
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: it was Roger Grimsby and Bill Butell really really really

205
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: top top newsman. And then even the rest of the

206
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: cast it was Warner Wolf on Sports, Storm Field in

207
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: the Weather. And then the young guy that came in

208
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: there to join the group was Ernie Anastes, and he

209
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: was everywhere. He was a Channel two for a while,

210
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: Channel four, not Channel four, Channel two, Channel seven, then

211
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: Channel nine, then Channel five, and a great guy in

212
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: real life. He had been a DJ when I was

213
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: a little kid. I remember hearing this DJ on the air,

214
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: Ernie Andrews. I found out later that was Ernie Anastes.

215
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: At that time they want am using his name. But

216
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: he was an honest, decent broadcaster you could trust. And

217
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: he always talked about that.

218
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: If you have a sense of your purpose, it doesn't

219
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: have to be some lofty thing. It just could be

220
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 3: a sense of this is why I'm here, I'm making

221
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: that's why I'm here, this is why I live that's right.

222
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: I'm making a difference somehow. That's how I feel about

223
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: my work.

224
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: And you hear the way you talk. You always had

225
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: that smile in his voice, that positive smile in his voice.

226
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that maybe, you know, we'll say, Okay, we'll

227
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: strike the balance. Let's give them the news, put it

228
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: in a right perspective, but also give them some other

229
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: positive things to think about, so we can feel that

230
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: there is some There's a keyword, hope.

231
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: Hope.

232
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 3: Okay, if we lose hope, we've lost everything. And I'll

233
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: say one last thing, may Angelo, she was wonderful and

234
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 3: in terms of like what we do.

235
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: People may not remember.

236
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 3: What you said or what you did, but they'll remember

237
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: how you made them feel.

238
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: Now here's another thing about and you don't see this anymore,

239
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: and you, Ernie ass very well for about I don't know,

240
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: thirty years. I probably had lunch with them five million times,

241
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: dinner with them a billion times, talk to them trillions

242
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: of hours, and yet I still have no idea where

243
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 2: he stood politically. I have no idea if he was

244
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: a Democrat or Republican. I don't know if he liked

245
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: Trump like he was absolutely neutral that's the way he's

246
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: supposed to be as a newsman. You know him back then,

247
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: you really didn't. You know, you could watch Johnny Carson

248
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: every night, five nights a week for twenty you didn't

249
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: know where he stood politically. You could never tell Jay Leno,

250
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: who always did political jokes every night, but you still

251
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: you couldn't tell. Is he a Democrat as a republic

252
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: couldn't tell. And that's really the way it's supposed to be.

253
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: But he was an amazing, amazing guy. Funeral will be

254
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: on Monday in Westchester. He lived in Westchester, was in

255
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 2: New York all the time, was here all the time

256
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 2: at w O R Hey. Check out my Instagram. There's

257
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: some Ernie pictures and some Ernie video up there. Mark

258
00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: Simone NYC at Instagram and a lot of great tributes yesterday, day, today,

259
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: this morning, just endless tributes to Ernie an Astes, really

260
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 2: really great guy. Remember yesterday were talking about Bill O'Reilly.

261
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: It was the day before Bill O'Reilly was on You

262
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: remember that clip you've seen that video where the control

263
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 2: room screws up and he's screaming at him and he goes, what, well,

264
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: don't live Remember that and I pointed out, that's every host,

265
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: every anchor man ever in television, the nicest ones, the

266
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: worst ones. There's always a moment where the control room

267
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: is screwing up like crazy and the anchor will start

268
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: yelling and cursing at it. It happens not all the time,

269
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: but once in a while. Every host, every host, and

270
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: anchor has done that at some point, except if there's

271
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: one guy that didn't do it. I think it was

272
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: I don't think he's ever yelled at anybody ever, maybe Regis,

273
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: maybe Regis too, but those are at least the one

274
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: exception was amazing. We'll take some calls in a minute.

Speaker 3: Uh.

308
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 5: The operations in Ivan, the military, naval and Air Force

309
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 5: operations have been going great. My concern is about the

310
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 5: There was a report last week about California being.

311
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: Hit with Yeah, let me just clear that up. The

312
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: report is totally false, apparently totally false. ABC News getting

313
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: a lot of flak from the White House for spreading

314
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: that story. Absolutely, I missed.

315
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 5: I missed that because Israel got hit with drones with

316
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 5: cluster bombs that there.

317
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: Are no no we know that the cluster bombs hit.

318
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: But here it is Caroline Levitt yesterday going after ABC

319
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: news completely false report about a possible drone strike against California.

320
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: White House spokesman called the report totally misleading, totally false,

321
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 2: and there's no credible threat from anything anything to do

322
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 2: with that. ABC News has yet to apologize for it.

323
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing.

324
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark guess Mike.

325
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 4: I used to work over at the CBS building there

326
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 4: for many many years, and there was a small restroom

327
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 4: in away from the studios that I would use invariably

328
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 4: I'd go in there and there would be Ernie doing,

329
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 4: you know, putting his own powder on. He wasn't makeup

330
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 4: per se, it was his powder and combing his hair

331
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 4: in the in the in the mirror, and it was

332
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 4: just like just showed how, you know, how down to

333
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 4: earth he was. You know that he wasn't one of

334
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 4: these criminatas in the Makeup chapter seven Hours like some

335
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 4: of the others over there, you know, and it was

336
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 4: always are always got to kick out of it. Yeah,

337
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 4: there he is.

338
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, wonderful.

339
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, a guy of his stature, you know, especially.

340
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 2: All right, Mike, great call. Yes, some guys, some of

341
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 2: the biggest stars like to do their own makeup. The

342
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: real reason is I do this myself. I put my

343
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: own makeup because if you sit in that chair, they're

344
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: all great, these makeup artists, they're really great. But you'll

345
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: be there for an hour and they'll put forty seven

346
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: thousand things on your face. They'll put endless stuff all

347
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: over your face. And then you need, like after the show,

348
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 2: you need easy off, like to get it off. It's

349
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 2: impossible and it goes all over your shirt and it's

350
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: a mess. But and most big, big, big, big, long long,

351
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: long time TV stars they knew exactly what they wanted

352
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 2: for makeup. They didn't want to have to explain it

353
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: to the makeup artists. They knew they want Max Studio

354
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 2: fixed thirty. Right here, I'm twenty five on this part

355
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: of their face. Let's go to Mike and bayside. Mike,

356
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 2: how you doing, Hey.

357
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 5: Good morning, Deflarian asked, this was a ridiculous legend.

358
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 6: It's kind of like a guy that.

359
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 4: You if you wanted the truth, you put him on.

360
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 7: And actually last night I was.

361
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 5: Having dinner with my mother and her girlfriend and.

362
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 4: They were devastated to hear that he died. Like you know,

363
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 4: older people, and you know you're talking about Johnny Carson.

364
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 6: You know, it would be great to have him around

365
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 6: to deal with because he doled it out.

366
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 4: Fifty to fifty, so he would he would definitely.

367
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 2: Make fun of Trump, but he would definitely make fun

368
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 2: of TDS people at LGBT, like he would kill both sides.

369
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's the idea. You know. The only person

370
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: who does that today Jimmy Fayla. He got a great

371
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 2: show here every night at nine and Saturday nights on

372
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: the Fox News Channel ten o'clock. He does an opening monologue.

373
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: It's exactly like Carson fifty fifty, just like Jay Leno.

374
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: Half the jokes about the Democrats, half the jokes about

375
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: the Republicans. Now nobody knew if you could watch them

376
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: every night for twenty thirty years. Jay Leno, Johnny Carson

377
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 2: still had no idea where they stood politically, no idea.

378
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 2: And if you knew them, like I said about Ernie

379
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: knew him as well, it was like I know anybody, I

380
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 2: have no idea where he stood, blutely no idea. I

381
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 2: knew Johnny Carson. I got the feeling that in real

382
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: life he was slightly, like a million of them inch

383
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: to the left of center. But that's about it, Jay Leno.

384
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: I from knowing him, I think was slightly, maybe a

385
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 2: billionth of a point to the right of center. But

386
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: otherwise you couldn't tell. Let's go to Bonnie and Tom's river. Bonnie,

387
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 2: how you doing.

388
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 7: Hi, good morning, how are you good? My question is,

389
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 7: you know, with these shut well shut down it's so ridiculous.

390
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 7: Can't they put into law that whoever requests the shutdown

391
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 7: goes without pay just like everybody else.

392
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good idea. People have talked about that

393
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: if there's any kind of government shutdow where people aren't

394
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: getting paid, Congress should stop getting paid. It's a very

395
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: very good idea would definitely speed things up. By the way,

396
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 2: this is Friday. At the end of the week, this'll

397
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 2: be the first week where DHS employees don't get a paycheck.

398
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 2: Things were in place to keep them paid for a while,

399
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: but this will be the first day TSA DHS don't

400
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: get their paycheck. We'll talk about the next hour, the

401
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 2: ridiculous shutdown that's going on now. They got to get

402
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: this fixed in the next couple of weeks because the

403
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: second week of April, their Congress has gone for Easter,

404
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 2: and I think they're gone the first They're gone like

405
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 2: the first two weeks of April, so they really only

406
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: got two weeks left to fix this. Hey, when we

407
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: come back to Great Entertainment Reporter Roger Friedman, we'll talk

408

416
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 6: I didn't really know him, but I loved him. Everyone

417
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 6: loved him. The outpouring of love for him is amazing.

418
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 6: I mean I met him a couple of times. I

419
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 6: see some nice pictures of you on Instagram with him.

420
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was well you met him, you know,

421
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: he was just a very happy guy. He kind of

422
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: put a positive globe and every room he came into.

423
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he was also what a career. I mean,

424
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 6: he was so popular. And you know, tastes change in television,

425
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 6: the television world and television news, and they're also looking

426
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 6: for the next big thing. But he was always the

427
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 6: next big thing because he did eleven years at one

428
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 6: station than twelve years at another station. So it was

429
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 6: like even when he you know, he just kept going

430
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 6: and going and going, and people loved watching him.

431
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: But there's no more big thing than local television. You know,

432
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: in the good old days, you had Chuck Scarbough, Roger Grimsby, Bill,

433
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: but tell you don't have that anymore. You can't.

434
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: I missed Roger Grimsby.

435
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, Bill, Butell was a great guy.

436
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, did you know him? Yeah, Bill,

437
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: he was a lovely He was a lovely guy, very.

438
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: Stern, somber newsman. But off the air was like this

439
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 2: wild nightclub guy. He was a lot of fun.

440
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was just very He was a lot of fun,

441
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 6: very nice and a real newsman. But Ernie and asked

442
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 6: this was he was really the like the epitome of

443
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 6: New York. And they don't say why he passed, what

444
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 6: happened to him, But I hope he didn't have a

445
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 6: bad time.

446
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: I'd been sick for a little while and the final

447
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 2: cause was pneumonia.

448
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 6: Was yeah, but look at the outpouring of love for

449
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 6: him on all the stations last night and on all

450
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 6: of our social media.

451
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: It's just great. I mean, it's that's very rewarding.

452
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: You know, hey, let's talk about the Oscars. It's Sunday night,

453
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: the big Oscar ceremony. You know, Yes, like local TV news,

454
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: you knew every name, you knew the big anchors. Now

455
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: you don't know who they are. Same thing with the Oscars.

456
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 2: You had the list of presenters. I don't know who

457
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: half these people are.

458
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, the list of presenters this year surprised me. But

459
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 6: I actually wrote about this a few months ago because

460
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 6: you could already tell that the actors who were going

461
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 6: to be nominated weren't that well known or weren't big

462
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 6: movie star movie stars, you know, and there was like

463
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 6: not a lot of glitz.

464
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: So I kept saying months.

465
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 6: Ago they better get in a lot of the old

466
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 6: Hollywood stars or the very well known brand name stars

467
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 6: while they're still alive, and get them in there to present.

468
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 1: But they didn't get any of them. The only thing

469
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: they're going.

470
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 6: To have that I know of so far is that

471
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 6: Barbara Streisand is going to speak for like a couple

472
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 6: of minutes about Robert Redford. But otherwise, and they certainly

473
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 6: my joke was My joke was for the in memorium.

474
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 6: They were not going to get Woody Allen for Diane Keaton.

475
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: I hate to break it you, but nobody under thirty

476
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: five is going to know who Barbara Streisand is.

477
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: No they do. She's like a big star, I don't

478
00:24:59,520 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: think so.

479
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 4: You have you have.

480
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: A list of stars.

481
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 6: When we were younger, we look forward to seeing Gregory

482
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 6: Peck and you know, Myrta Lloyd and all these great

483
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 6: stars come and give some glamour to the Oscars.

484
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: That's what it's supposed to be about.

485
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 6: But you know, the Oscars don't have that much glimber

486
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 6: anymore because people don't live in Hollywood.

487
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: They don't live in Los Angeles.

488
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 6: There isn't much production in Los Angeles and it's straining

489
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 6: for the movies, you know, to find a huge auguences.

490
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what I'm excited about is maybe next

491
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 6: year's Oscars because Steven Spielberg has this movie coming out

492
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 6: in June called Disclosure Day, and they just dropped the trailer.

493
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 6: I have it on Showbiz four one one. This movie

494
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 6: looks fantastic. This movie looks like a return to Steven Spielberg,

495
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 6: you know, to et Close Encounters.

496
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: And I can't wait to see it. And I'll bet

497
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: it's a huge, huge hit.

498
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 2: What's a movie about.

499
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 6: It's a about UFOs and apparently, and the disclosure is

500
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 6: that they're finally going to tell the truth about whether

501
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 6: there have been UFOs, whether they've been aliens on Earth

502
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 6: for the last eighty years, and it's going to make

503
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 6: the UFO, you know, conspiracy people go crazy, absolutely crazy.

504
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: There's a show on the radio overnight, do you. I

505
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: don't know if you ever listened.

506
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: To it, Saucer Show. I don't really get to hear it.

507
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: I love that show, but normal people don't want to

508
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: hear that. You know.

509
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 6: People call it and they say they've been abducted by aliens,

510
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 6: they're up in spaceships, they've had meetings with them, and

511
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 6: this movie is going to make those people. It's going

512
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 6: to activate those people all over the world. I mean

513
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 6: that Coast to Coast should really have Steven Spielberg on.

514
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 6: But the movie looks fantastic and it looks like the

515
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 6: cousin of Close Encounters, but even more like you know, serious.

516
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that.

517
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 6: As far as the Oscars go this weekend, you know, yeah,

518
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 6: So it's very strange the presenters are. They're going for

519
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 6: very young and everyone's everyone's under fifty or fifty straining it.

520
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 6: But they don't have any of the big, big stars.

521
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 6: And I'm afraid that the biggest part of the show

522
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 6: is going to be the memoriam because you're going to

523
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 6: have Redford, Keaton, Gene Hackman, You're going to have all

524
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 6: these big people who died during the last year. And

525
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 6: that's a downer, do you know what I mean?

526
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: Hey, the only Oscar movie I saw was Marty Supreme.

527
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: Is that going to win anything?

528
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 6: Marty Supreme is a flashpoint now because Timothy Challome, the

529
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 6: star for a long time, was in the lead to

530
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 6: win Best Actor, but he has screwed up his Oscar

531
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 6: campaign in the most unhistoric way.

532
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: First, he started appearing in orange outfits.

533
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 6: They manufactured orange ping pong balls to go with it,

534
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 6: and everywhere he went. Plus he totes around Kardashian, this

535
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 6: Kylie Jenner, who Hollywood just can't stand, and she's always

536
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 6: dressed very trashy looking at all the award shows. He's

537
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 6: really killed his own career. And in the last couple

538
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 6: of weeks there's been like a monumental campaign against him

539
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 6: because he did an interview on CNN with Matthew McConaughey

540
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 6: and he said that he, you know, he made castigating

541
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 6: remarks about ballet and opera and said they, you know,

542
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 6: they weren't going to live on as forms of art.

543
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: And this made everyone angry at him.

544
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 2: So I feeling, have never been to an opera, ballet,

545
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: What are they getting so uptight about?

546
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 6: Well, but they didn't like the idea, and I think

547
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 6: that you're going to see Samothy Talla may not win

548
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 6: the Oscar this Sunday, which would be too bad because

549
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 6: he really deserved it. But there are other the other

550
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 6: people in the category are really good. You have Leonardo DiCaprio,

551
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 6: who could certainly when Michael B. Jordan from Sinners, who's excellent,

552
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 6: and Ethan Hawke, who's amazing in Blue Moon, a movie

553
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 6: you should rent on video and demand. So Marty Supreme

554
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 6: may have ping ponged its way out.

555
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Hey, we only got a minute left. What

556
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: about the Oscar parties? Did you write that they're kind

557
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: of downsizing a little the big parties?

558
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 6: Well, Vanity Fair, you know, Vanity Fair is not the

559
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 6: magazine that used to be, and they're struggling for circulation.

560
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: They've lost a lot of money.

561
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 6: They have a new editor who's very young, and they're

562
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 6: cutting the party in half, so they're moving to a

563
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 6: smaller locale and it's not going to be the big,

564
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 6: you know, pageant that it usually is. And yesterday the

565
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 6: editor did an interview where he said only people who

566
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 6: have who've won oscars can come, but the nominees should

567
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 6: forget it. So if you if you're not a different

568
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 6: Oscar and you lose, you can't come.

569
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 2: So trying to create some fake cash for the party.

570
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's it's not it's not.

571
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 6: Vavey Fair had a crescendo over the last twenty years

572
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 6: with Oscar parties, and you know, fantastic, fabulous people. And

573
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 6: now they stop by, they take a picture on the

574
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 6: red carpet and then they go to dinner.

575
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,160

590
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

591
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: So the oscars there Sunday night a week one week

592
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: from spring beginning. This is the last week of summer.

593
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: Then right after that you can have baseball opening day. Hey,

594
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people upset because the Yankee Opening

595
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: Day broadcast will be Netflix only. It's not going to

596
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: be on television, it'll Netflix only. I would think most

597
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: people have Netflix, but a lot of people speaking that,

598
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: even Michael Kay, the Yankee announcer, and a lot of

599
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: people baseball purists especially, they can't stand this at the

600
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: opening game of the Yankees because that's a big game.

601
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 2: A lot of pageantry and ceremony and a lot of

602
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: important stuff will not be broadcast. It'll be Netflix only. Now,

603
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: you can't blame the Yankees because obviously Netflix paid off

604
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 2: fortune for that exclusive. Hey, we'll be back in the

605
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: next hour. Miranda Divine will be with us. We've got

606
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,840
