00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is no Mark Simon show on seventen. Woo Hey,

00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: it's Wednesday. It's two days until spring begins, two days away. Hey.

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: We got a lot to get to. We'll get to this.

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: We'll get to this Joe can't to quit and what

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: his future is. We'll get to the oscars. The ratings

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: are down. We take a look at why. We'll get

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: to a crazy uh moron Zamdami mo zoron mam dami. Uh.

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: He's offended a lot of people yesterday with his crazy

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 1: rant at the Saint Patrick's Day breakfast. We'll get to

10
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: the Guthrie case, some developments there no nothing about finding her,

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: but some other things. We'll get to the ran of course,

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more so. Mark Wayne Mullen is

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: being confirmed today. The hearings are today. He's been nominated

14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: to replace Tulsey Gabbard. Now they'll bloody him up a

15
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: little in these hearings, because that's what you do in

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: a hearing. They'll ask him how he made how he

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: became so wealthy while in office. Well that's every one

18
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: of them sitting there. They'll pick on some other things,

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: but he'll get confirmed. He's a senator one reason he

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: was appointed is the way things are right now that

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: these Senate committees will not confirm any Trump nominee, So

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: you got to pick a senator because he's one of them.

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: They won't turn down one of their own, though, they'll

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: confirm one of their own. And Mark Wayne Mullen has

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: been very good at making friends in the House, in

26
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: the Senate, He's been known for that, having lunch with

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: people on both sides of the aisle, going to the

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: gym with people on both sides of the aisle. So

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: it'll drag on for a while, but they will confirm

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: him later today. The Warren I ran some good developments overnight.

31
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: We killed azmil Katib. Actually Israel did it. He was

32
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: the Iran Minister of Intelligence, but he's believed to be

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: the actual guy who oversees Rand's entire global terror apparatus,

34
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: sleeper cells, hesbola hoodies, all that sort of stuff. Who

35
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: killed him last night in a bombing raid. He's gone.

36
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: Two people were killed in a missile strike on Ramot

37
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: Gan it's near Tel Aviv. That's in Israel retaliation. Now

38
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: here's the other thing. We've been escalating. The bombing. You

39
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: don't hear as much about it, but it's actually been

40
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: much more intense. In fact, yesterday we started dropping five

41
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: thousand pound penetrator bombs, bunker buster bombs that go deep underground.

42
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: We've been using them to take out mountains, take out

43
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: underground missile sites that are way underground, especially along the coast.

44
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: Those are the ones that particularly threatened the straits of Hormous,

45
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: So we took a bunch of those out last night.

46
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: All good developments, a lot of good stuff happened in there.

47
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: Allies still refused to come in and help. Off the record,

48
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: any general will tell you as far as the Allies

49
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: coming in, there's absolutely no military value to them coming up.

50
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: There's nothing militarily we could use for any of them.

51
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: The only reason to get them to come in is

52
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: just for the optics. Just symbolically. It looks good to

53
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: have a coalition, so we don't need them militarily for anything.

54
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: In fact, they might actually slow things down sometimes when

55
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: you put together these coalitions. It happened in Iraq, it

56
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: sometimes slows things down. Lack of communication between different countries,

57
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: forces getting in the way of each other, so military

58
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: wise better without the Allies, it was just a symbolic thing,

59
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: so we'll see. The president was asked, is this going

60
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: to be another Vietnam? A ridiculous question, of course does.

61
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: The Uranian regime is filled sky news. If you put

62
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: boots on the grounds in or round, it will be

63
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: another Vietnam. Are you afraid of them? No, I'm not

64
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: afraid of I'm really not afraid of anything. It's a

65
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: day fourteen or it's two weeks. I'd hardly call that

66
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: another Vietnam, which was twelve years. Two weeks is not

67
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: twelve years. Big difference. And boots on the ground the

68
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: only boots on the ground. They do have marine strike

69
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: forces that have come in, twenty five hundred of them.

70
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: There may be an occasion where they need to go

71
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: ashore from an amphibious crap. Just go ashore, quick raid,

72
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: literally twenty minutes in and out. That's the only kind

73
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: of boots on the ground you'll see. So things are

74
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: going well. We did kill two days ago the leader

75
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: of the country after the Ayah Toola, and he supposedly

76
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: appointed his son to be the new Ayahtola, but that

77
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: never actually took place. The real leader has been Ali Larjani.

78
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: He was killed earlier this week, and people were stunned

79
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: at as arrogance. He was the new leader. We knew

80
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: he was the new leader, and he's one of the

81
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: most brutal, awful terrorist leaders of the whole Iranian government.

82
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: But he took over. He was the leader, and he

83
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: had the arrogance to just walk down the street by himself,

84
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: out in the open. There. He was walking along the

85
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: street when an Israeli bomb hit him right on the

86
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: head and blew him into a million pieces. So he's gone.

87
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: That's the end of that. It's just getting better and

88
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: better over there. Now, you heard about this guy in

89
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: the Trump administration who quit. His name is Joe Kent.

90
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: Joe Kent was the National counter Terrorism Center Director. Now

91
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: this sounds very imposing, this title, but this is what

92
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: they do in the swamp. They come up with these titles.

93
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: Joe Kent has been a big Trump supporter. He's been

94
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: a big supporter of going after Iran, of taking out Iran.

95
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 1: He has said this for years. He has been saying

96
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: for years that Iran is a major threat, the biggest

97
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 1: sponsor of terrorism. He's pushed going after Iran for years.

98
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: So he suddenly quit saying it was wrong to go

99
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: after Iran. Why the contradictory stuff. Who knows. Who knows

100
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: what goes through his head. He's got a history of

101
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: just being wrong on everything. He's also got a history

102
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: of appearing to be very antisemitic anti Israel. I think

103
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: that's the thing here in this He always wanted to

104
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: go after I Ran and get rid of them. But

105
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: in this case it's Israel really leading the charge, Israel

106
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: doing eighty percent of the military work, Israel being the

107
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: biggest beneficiary of all of this. I think that's what

108
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: really offended Joe Kent. He's always blaming Israel for everything.

109
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: You remember the Gulf War, not the Iraq War, the

110
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: Gulf War. I remember when we had to liberate Kuwait

111
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: from Sodom Hussein. That was the George hw Bush War.

112
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: In the Gulf War, this same Joe Kent kept yelling

113
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: and screaming we were only doing this because of Israel.

114
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: This was Israel that made us do it. Well, if

115
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: you just check the record book, back in the Gulf War,

116
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: Israel totally opposed the Gulf War. Israel begged us not

117
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: to do it. Israel at the time thought it was

118
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: more important to go after Iran. Israel thought we were

119
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,239
Speaker 1: fighting the wrong fight. So Joe Kent has a history

120
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: of contradictory stuff, history of anti Semitic kind of nonsense.

121
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: He's a great military veteran eleven combat tours, and people

122
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: that know him and know his history say it was very,

123
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: very sad to watch him end his career in this

124
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: anti Semitic rant that he put out yesterday, leaving even

125
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, who's no fan of Donald Trump, issued a

126
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: scathing statement saying about Kent virulent anti semitism. Mitch McConnell

127
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: pointing out Joe kent't testified before the Senate one year

128
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: ago that Iran and its terror proxy's threatened US service members.

129
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: It was the biggest threat he testified about the threat.

130
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: McConnell goes on to say the virulent anti semitism of

131
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: his resignation letter makes it clear he's just incapable of

132
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: upholding these plays. Just it's his charges are baseless, incendiary,

133
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: and McConnell went on to remember this is a real

134
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: swamp guy, McConnell. Isolationists and anti Semites have no place

135
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: in either party and do not deserve places of trust

136
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: in our government. So he's going. He's a very good

137
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: looking guy, although kind of a I don't know, kind

138
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: of a mannequin looking guy, but good talker, good looking.

139
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: I assume the reason he's doing all this is he

140
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: wants a TV job. He wants to be on CNN

141
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: or MSNBC, and if you're suddenly attacking Trump like crazy,

142
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: you instantly get on there. He'll be on every show

143
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: in the world for the next few days. He'll be

144
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: on Morning Joe and The View, and Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert.

145
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: He'll be on all these shows. And I guess he

146
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: hopes to get a TV job out of it. And

147
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: you can make you make a lot of money doing that.

148
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Hey, the oscars, Now, everybody's trying to

149
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: figure this out. You know, they got these betting markets,

150
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: poly market, those kind of stuff, these prediction marks markets

151
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: all amateur's betting, and they bet on everything. They've bet

152
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: on politics, they bet on the oscars. Everybody is looking

153
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: at this. It seems in the betting markets they got

154
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: right every single category, every single win, everything, They predicted

155
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: everything correctly. Now, not in the week's leading up, but

156
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: at the last couple of days, the betting got absolutely

157
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: everything right now that never happened, So they're worried there

158
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: might might have been some kind of leak. You know,

159
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: those votes are tabulated by an accounting firm and they

160
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: usually come in the locked briefcase with the guy's handcuffed

161
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: to it. But starting to worry somebody leaked something at

162
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: how else could these betting markets be so accurate? Hey,

163
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: the Savannah Guthrie case, you don't hear about it anymore.

164
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: The Nancy Guthrie case, you just don't hear about it.

165
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: Nothing on the news, hardly anything for days and days.

166
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: And people have noticed that the top reporters covering this

167
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: porter so this was their full time beat covering this,

168
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: This is this case. They've all left town. The last

169
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: one left yesterday, packed up and left. Not a great

170
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: sign for the now. There's still a federal agents there

171
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: looking as far as the sheriff's office, they've been bumbling

172
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: from the beginning. Who knows what they're doing. In fact,

173
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: there's now this sheriff Nanos, who is the bumbling Barney

174
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: fiefish awful local sheriff first on the case. There's now

175
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: a recall movement underway that's already started petitions are being

176
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: signed to recall him and get him out of office.

177
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: It would actually be a great idea to do it. Hey,

178
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: speaking of the OSCARS, ratings were not good. They haven't

179
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: been good in a while. You know, if you go

180
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: back twenty five years, the OSCARS got about fifty seven

181
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: fifty eight sixty million people watching Sunday Night. It wasn't

182
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: fifty seven million, it was eighteen million. It's way down,

183
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: and it had been twenty million the year before. The

184
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: twenty one million, but it was down nine percent, nine

185
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: percent from last year. Now. I don't know what this

186
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: does to Conan O'Brien. They were pretty high on him,

187
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: but it dropped nine percent this year. It may not

188
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: be his fault. The problem is two problems. One, nobody

189
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: wants to watch these award shows anymore. Nobody wants to

190
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: watch award shows, and the way people watch stuff has changed.

191
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: Nobody watches an award show for three hours. They're not

192
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: going to sit there for three hours watching one award show.

193
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: They'll binge watch eighteen hours of a series, but they're

194
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: not going to watch an award show for three hours.

195
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: So even though only only eighteen million watching on television,

196
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty four million went to their phones

197
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: or online and watched little bites of it, which is

198
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: what I did. I didn't watch the actual show, but

199
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: later later, I just went to YouTube, watched the opening monologue,

200
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: watched a couple of the awards, watched the little Barbra

201
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: Streisant segment. Just that, and that's what most people did.

202
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: Only eighteen million watched the show. One hundred and eighty

203
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: four million watched the clips, which is up, by the way,

204
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: up forty two from last year. So it's just the

205
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: way people do stuff now. They're not going to sit there.

206
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes people do that, even with sports. They don't watch

207
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: the whole game. They just look at their phone every

208
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: so often and look at the highlights every so often. Well,

209
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day is over. We love the Irish people,

210
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: we love the parade, but you got to get better food.

211
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: I went to the Saint Patrick's Day parties. All right,

212
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm not that big a fan of corn beef and

213
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: soda bread. It's enough with that. And the music musically,

214
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we get some guitars, some trumpets, some trombone,

215
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: some something, but those bagpipes, I guess it's okay for

216
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: a parade. I mean for a parade. It's okay. It's

217
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: kind of marching music. But you notice if you watch

218
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: college football, then when the halftime, when the band comes out, No,

219
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: Bill don't need any bagpipes. You go to Carnegie Hall,

220
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: you don't see any bagpipe. All right, it's once a year.

221
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: It was a pretty good parade. It was actually not bad. Yesterday. Hey,

222
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: you know we will get to the Department of Homeland

223
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: Security shutdown. This is the government shutdown. It's all being

224
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: shut down by government by Democrats. The Democrats are keeping

225
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: it going. The problem is the TSA is part of

226
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: Homeland Security, and TSA workers are not getting paid. They've

227
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: now missed two paychecks. About three four hundred of them

228
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: have left. More are leaving every day. And TSA screeners

229
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: they don't well, they make about forty five thousand a year.

230
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: They've been working out without pay for a couple of weeks.

231
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: Now ten percent are calling in sick every day. Nearly

232
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy five have quit their jobs over this. Now.

233
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: The problem is if this gets any worse, the airports

234
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: are now talking about what they call their doomsday scenario.

235
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: You know, right now, if you go to the airport

236
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: because of the TSA problems and the shortage and the shutdown,

237
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: massive delays, you know, usually it's an hour or two,

238
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: now three four five hour delays getting through security. But

239
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: the doomsday scenario is actually shutting down some airports. They're

240
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: actually talking about that now. Some airports could be shut

241
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: down entirely, which would be a real nightmare that would

242
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: affect everybody everywhere. And we'll get to coming up, we'll

243
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: get to a mom Donnie just causing a terrible scene

244
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: yesterday at the Saint Patrick's Day breakfast. We'll get to that,

245
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more just ahead, we'll take some calls. Next.

246
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.

247
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
