1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: This is seven Tor Boy, The Mark Simon Show starts.

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: Now, Hey, it's Friday. We've got through the week. We

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: got a lot to get to. Today, we'll get to

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: the loss of our great friend, the beloved Ernie and

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: ASTs we'll talk about him. We'll get to we'll give

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: you the very latest on the war in a couple

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: of minutes. We'll get to the save act that, we'll

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: get to crazy Mom, Donnie, he's doing even more crazy stuff.

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: Speaking of crazy, that sheriff in the Nancy Guthrie case

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 2: sounding a little nuts and a little suspicious. We'll get

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: to all of that coming up, and let's get you

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: the latest on the war. RAN's new leader, son of

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: the Iahtola, the new Iahtola, is now believed to be

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: not only wounded we kept saying as a facial lacerations,

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: it's now believed he's probably disfigured. In fact, Secretary Hexath

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: on camera this morning, daring him to appear on camera

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: and let's see what he looks like. We know he

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: lost a leg, we know he's been in a coma,

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: severe facial lacerations, but Hexith saying, and he would have

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: more intelligence on this than anybody that he has disfigured,

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: and that's why written statements are coming out, and he

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: has not spoken publicly about anything. So we'll see what

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: happens with that. Straits of horn Moose will probably get reopened,

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: probably next week. The attacks on these tankers are done

25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: in two ways. One by drones which are unmanned and

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: can be directed from far away drones with explosives. And

27
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: the other thing is these speedboats loaded with explosives that

28
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 2: hit the tanker. Those are also unmanned and like a drone,

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: can be controlled from many miles away. So you got

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: to get rid of all this stuff. They're getting rid

31
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: of those speedboats one by one. You just got to

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: take them all out. As far as drones, and these

33
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: are the most dangerous. Missiles are easier to blow up

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: or stop because we can see the launchers, we can

35
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: see where they're launched from. We've taken out ninety percent

36
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: of the missiles. Ninety percent of the missiles are gone.

37
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: Drones are tougher because you can't see them. They might

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: be hidden in a basement in a garage until they're

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: suddenly pulled out. But it's believed we've taken out ninety

40
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: five percent of their drones. Ran yesterday released a picture,

41
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: a photograph of a warehouse that they had filled with

42
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: the state of the art drones, hundreds and hundreds of

43
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: drones in this warehouse. They released the pictures, I guess

44
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: to intimidate us, but they're probably not thinking in the

45
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: pictures that they released. There's probably some tags in there,

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: meta tags data somewhere in the pictures that might give

47
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: a hint as to where they're located. So not too

48
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: smart on their part. Now, you've got to remember something,

49
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: at the end of a war, at the end of

50
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: a war, casualties go way way up. Always at the

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: end of the war with Japan, in the last few weeks,

52
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: they went crazy fighting back. It's a last dying breath,

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: last gasp, and they killed more Americans in those last

54
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Something happened in Afghanistan. So when you

55
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: see it ramping up, when you see more returned fire,

56
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: more casual that's when you know they're in their last

57
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: throws and dying. We lost four servicemen yesterday. And now

58
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: this was not in a combat or fire or friendly fire.

59
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: It was a refueling plane that crashed, not in Iran,

60
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: but in Iraq. They still haven't figured out what caused

61
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: the crash, but we lost four people. They would bring

62
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: it up to about ten service people lost in the

63
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: last few weeks, which is horrible. But you also have

64
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: to remember, and people aren't aware of this, we lose

65
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: a lot of servicemen and women without war, just in

66
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: training accidents, about thirty five a year. That's like three

67
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: a month that we lose. It happens all the time

68
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: with war without war, but it's just just terrible. They're

69
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: less launches every day of missiles and and all that stuff.

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: They are haven't st the president. We don't know what

71
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: it is, but he is talking about unleashing weapons on

72
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: Iran that nobody has seen yet. He did that in

73
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: Venezuela with those combobulator bombs that just made everybody paralyzed instantly.

74
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: So there's apparently some stuff they're gonna unleash at any

75
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: point in Iran. And yesterday, it was last night on

76
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: X and Twitter that he made that statement. That's got

77
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: everybody upset. Now, you got to remember, people that hate

78
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: the president, they go nuts when he says these crazy things.

79
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: People that love the president back what he's doing. But

80
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: then sometimes he'll say something and they'll go, oh God,

81
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 2: why does he have to talk like that? Why does

82
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: he have to say things like that? Well, that's the

83
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: way he is. He will shoot his mouth off. He's

84
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: not a politician. He's totally unfiltered. He will say things

85
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: you're not supposed to say. He'll talk in away you're

86
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: not supposed to talk. But is the great New York

87
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: legend Robert Morgenthaw, who was one of the smartest guys

88
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: I ever knew. And we were all together, Donald Trump,

89
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 2: Robert Morganhal, myself, and a whole bunch of people. And

90
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: when he'd leave the room, Trump would leave the room.

91
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes people would say to Morgan, though, what is it

92
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: with that? Why does he have to worry? And Morganhal

93
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: would always say, and you should always remember this rule

94
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 2: he goes when it comes to Donald. Never listen to

95
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: what he says. Just watch what he does. And it's

96
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 2: a good rule. Don't pay attention to anything he says.

97
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: Just watch what he does. And if you look back

98
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: on his track record, he gets it done, He gets results.

99
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: He accomplishes things nobody ever thought would get accomplished. We

100
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: were talking about yesterday, every president and politician for fifty

101
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: years promised to end our dependency on foreign oil. He

102
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: actually got it done. He did it, so he'll get

103
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 2: it done now. The other thing is you got what

104
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: they call the pannikins as opposed to Republicans, the Pannicans

105
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: who panic every time you were in the middle of something.

106
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: You remember when the terriffs were first announced and the

107
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: stock market plunged a billion points in five seconds and

108
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: everybody was panicking. Well, it not only came right back

109
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: two weeks later, but it went to all time highs,

110
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: it set new records. So it's the same thing here.

111
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: Oil prices will spike. Straits of her moose are closed.

112
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: This has happened before with the straits of her moose.

113
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: There's a lot of times in the past during wars,

114
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: during the Gulf War, during the Iraq War, during this

115
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: war where you couldn't get through the straits of her

116
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: moose and ships were being attacked and ended up needing

117
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 2: the navy escort. This has happened before. So you'll see

118
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: this spike and it'll all get resolved, and it'll spike

119
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: will go away. Not only will oil prices come down,

120
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: they'll hit all time lows after all of this is

121
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: over to another rule to remember, don't follow the big

122
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: Washington experts or the media experts when they tell you

123
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 2: about Trump. In fact, a good rule. A lot of

124
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: gamblers have figured this out. Whatever the experts tell you,

125
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: bet against them. Whatever Trump tells you, bet with them.

126
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 2: Don't go with the experts. And what they tell you

127
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: is going to happen, it won't happen. Now, there is

128
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: an island called Carg Island. It's a little island, but

129
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: it contains almost all of the oil refinery, supplies all

130
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: the tanks of Iran. Carg Island is like ninety two

131
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: percent of the oil export capability of Iran. Everything is

132
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: on Carg Island. We have not hit it. That's a final,

133
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: absolute last straw. If we had to. If we took

134
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: out carg Island, that is the end of Iran as

135
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: far as their economy. It would completely devastate their economy

136
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: for decades. So we haven't hit it. We could also

137
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 2: seize it and try to just take it from them,

138
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 2: or we could also just blow it up and that's

139
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: the end of any hope of an economy ever ever

140
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: coming back in Iran. So kind of crazy that they

141
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: put everything on that one island. But the president at

142
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: some point will threaten him with carg Island if they

143
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: don't get a new regime. The crazy thing he said

144
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: today was as she was. Last night he put out

145
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: a tweet that Iran was threatening us again, and then

146
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: he said on Twitter, this is in writing, way do

147
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: you see what they get hit with tomorrow? And his

148
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: exact words were, way, do you see what we do

149
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: to these deranged scumbags tomorrow. You're not supposed to talk

150
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: like that when you're a president. I think the reason

151
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 2: for it was, you know, these old deep state guys,

152
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: these Washington swamp people, they're all yelling and screamage. The

153
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 2: messaging is wrong. He's got to have the right messaging.

154
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: You really don't. You can have confused, contradictory messaging. It's

155
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: actually a great idea because it just confuses the enemy.

156
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 2: You don't want clear messaging because then the enemy knows

157
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 2: where you are, what you're going to do. And when

158
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: they say, well, he hasn't explained the purpose that you

159
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: don't need to explain the purpose of this. You're talking

160
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: about the Iotola, biggest terrorist in the world with his

161
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 2: death to America. Team shirt funding, Hesbala, the hoodies, every terrorist,

162
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: everything on it. It's the biggest terrorist on Earth. You

163
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: don't have to explain why you took him out. That's

164
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: pretty obvious. But you're not supposed to talk like that

165
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: with the range scumbag. You're not supposed to use that

166
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: kind of language. So what happened about thirty six hours

167
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: ago to actually about twenty four hours ago, they got

168
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to mention names here, but a bunch

169
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: of the inner circle of the president got some of

170
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: the wisest old Washington hands on how you're supposed to

171
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: talk in a situation like this, and the conference to

172
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: him in with President Trump to tell him how to

173
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: message this, how to address this, how to speak to this.

174
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys told me this. I said, first

175
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 2: of all, this is going to last ten minutes and

176
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: they'll forget about it. But also, you know, him will

177
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: probably go the opposode. I think that's what happened. This

178
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: was a reaction to that conference call, which he didn't

179
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: want to hear. So, hey, we'll get to Corey Lewandowski

180
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 2: coming up. He may have some real trouble. Hey, an

181
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: asked this, the legendary New York news man. Was one

182
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: of the finest people I ever knew. He was the

183
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: nicest guy ever. You know that big, smiling, happy, positive

184
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: Ernie you saw on TV, Well, that was Ernie off

185
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: the air every second.

186
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: Every day, everywhere.

187
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: Everybody that knew him loved him. Everybody that ever worked

188
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 2: with him loved him. I don't know anybody else you

189
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: could say that about, but people loved Ernie Anaskedes. He

190
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: was a terrific guy, an excellent newsman. He came to

191
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 2: New York. It was back in the seventies and those

192
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: days TV news, local TV news was.

193
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 3: A very big deal.

194
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: It's not anymore. Very few people watched the six or

195
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock news. It's not a big deal. They're lucky

196
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: if they have a few hundred thousand people watching. But

197
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: in those days, six o'clock eleven o'clock news on Channel seven,

198
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 2: Channel four, Channel two, millions of people would watch, and

199
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: the anchors were getting millions of dollars a year, and

200
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: it was a big deal, and those anchors were of

201
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 2: amazing quality. You go back, you look at can you

202
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: name the anchors on Channel two right now? No, who's

203
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: the six o'clock news anchor on Channel four. I don't know,

204
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: nobody knows. I watch it, I don't know who it is.

205
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: Nobody knows weather people, you don't know who they're, nobody

206
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: knows who they are.

207
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: Nobody.

208
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: So back then it was Legends, it was Channel seven,

209
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 2: it was Roger Grimsby and Bill Butell really really really

210
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: top top newsman. And then even the rest of the

211
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: cast it was Warner wolf on Sports, Storm Field in

212
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: the weather. And then the young guy that came in

213
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: there to join the group was Ernie Anastes, and he

214
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: was everywhere. He was a Channel two for a while,

215
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: Channel four, not Channel four, Channel two, Channel seven, then

216
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 2: Channel nine, then Channel five, and.

217
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: A great guy in real life.

218
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 2: He had been a DJ when in fact I was

219
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 2: a little kid, I remember hearing this DJ on the air,

220
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: Ernie Andrews. I found out later that was Ernie Anasties.

221
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: At that time they want am using his name. But

222
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: he was an honest, decent broadcaster you could trust. And

223
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: he always talked about that.

224
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 4: If you have a sense of your purpose, it doesn't

225
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 4: have to be some lofty thing. It just could be

226
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 4: a sense of this is why I'm here, this is

227
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 4: why I'm here, this is why I live that's right.

228
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 4: I'm making a difference somehow. That's how I feel about

229
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: my work.

230
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: And you hear the way you talk. You always had

231
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: that smile in his voice, that positive smile in his voice.

232
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: I'm hoping that maybe, you know, we'll say, Okay, we'll

233
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 4: strike the balance. Let's give them the news, put it

234
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 4: in a right perspective, but also give them some other

235
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: positive things to think about, so we can feel that

236
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 4: there is some There's a keyword, hope.

237
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 5: Okay.

238
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 4: If we lose hope, we've lost everything. And I'll say

239
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: one last thing, Maya Angelo. She was wonderful and in

240
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 4: terms of like what we do. People may not remember

241
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 4: what you said or what you did, but they'll remember

242
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 4: how you made them feel.

243
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 2: Now here's another thing about and you don't see this anymore,

244
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: and you Ernie Assis very well for about I don't know,

245
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 2: thirty years. I probably had lunch with them five million times,

246
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: dinner with them a billion times, talk to them trillions

247
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: of hours, and yet I still have no idea where

248
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: he stood politically. I have no idea if he was

249
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: a Democrat or Republican. I don't know if he liked

250
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: Trump like he was absolutely neutral. That's the way he's

251
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: supposed to be as a newsman. You know him back then,

252
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: you really didn't. You know, you could watch Johnny Carson

253
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: every night, five nights a week for twenty you didn't

254
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: know where he stood politically. You could never tell Jay Leno,

255
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: who always did political jokes every night, but you still

256
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: you couldn't tell. Is he a Democrat as a republic

257
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: couldn't tell. And that's really the way it's supposed to be.

258
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: But he was an amazing, amazing guy. Funeral will be

259
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: on Monday in Westchester. He lived in Westchester, was in

260
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: New York all the time, was here all the time

261
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: at w.

262
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,080

Speaker 2: just endless tributes to Ernie an Astes, really really great guy.

267
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: Remember yesterday were talking about Bill O'Reilly. It was the

268
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: day before Bill O'Reilly was on You remember that clip

269
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: you've seen that video where the control room screws up

270
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: and he's screaming at him and he goes, what, well,

271
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: don't live Remember that? And I pointed out, that's every host,

272
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 2: every anchor man ever in television. I eat the nicest ones,

273
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: the worst ones. There's always a moment where the control

274
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: room is screwing up like crazy and the anchor will

275
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: start yelling and cursing at it. It's happens not all

276
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: the time, but once in a while. Every host, every host,

277
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: and anchor has done that at some point, except if

278
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: there's one guy that didn't do it. I think it

279
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: was I don't think he's ever yelled at anybody ever.

280
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: Maybe Regius, maybe Regis too, But those are at least

281
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,920

00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: on w o R.

309
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Dennis and Brooklyn. Dennis,

310
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: how you doing.

311
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 6: You're doing good?

312
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 7: Thanks? Mark?

313
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 5: Oh yeah.

314
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 8: Uh.

315
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 9: The operations in Ivan, the military, NAPLE and Air Force

316
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 9: operations have been going great. My concern is about the

317
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 9: There was a report last week about California being hit

318
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 9: with Yeah, let me.

319
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: Just clear that up. The report is totally false, apparently

320
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: totally false. ABC News getting a lot of flak from

321
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: the White House for spreading that story. Absolutely, I missed.

322
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 9: I missed that because Israel got hit with drones with

323
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 9: cluster bombs.

324
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: That there are no no we know that the cluster

325
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: bombs hit.

326
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: But here it is.

327
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: Caroline Levett yesterday, going after ABC news completely false report

328
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: about a possible drone strike against California. White House spokesman

329
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: called the report totally misleading, totally false, and there's no

330
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: credible threat from anything anything to do with that. ABC

331
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: News has yet to apologize for it. Let's go to

332
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 2: Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing. Good morning, Mark

333
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 2: guess Mike.

334
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 7: I used to work over at the CBS building there

335
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 7: for many, many years, and there was a small restroom

336
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 7: in away from the studios that I would use. Invariably,

337
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 7: I'd go in there and there would be Ernie doing,

338
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 7: you know, putting his own powder on he was It

339
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 7: wasn't makeup per se, it was his powder and combing

340
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 7: his hair in the in the in the mirror, and

341
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 7: it was just like just show how you know how

342
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 7: down to earth he was. You know that he wasn't

343
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 7: one of these primadatas in the makeup chapter seven hours

344
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 7: like some of the others over.

345
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: There, you know.

346
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 7: And it was always a great I always got to

347
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 7: kick out of it.

348
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

349
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 3: There he is, Yeah, wonderful.

350
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, a guy of his stature, you know, especially.

351
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: All right, Mike, great call. Yes, some guys, some of

352
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: the biggest stars like to do their own makeup. The

353
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: real reason is I do this myself. I put my

354
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: own makeup because if you sit in that chair, they're

355
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 2: all great, these makeup artists, they're really great. But you'll

356
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: be there for an hour and they'll put forty seven

357
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 2: thousand things on your face. They'll put endless stuff all

358
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: over your face. And then you need, like after the show,

359
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 2: you need easy off, Like to get it off. It's

360
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: impossible and it goes all over your shirt and it's

361
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: a mess. But and most big, big, big, big, long long,

362
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: long time TV stars they knew exactly what they wanted

363
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: for makeup. They didn't want to have to explain it

364
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: to the makeup artists. They knew they want Max Studio

365
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 2: fixed thirty right here twenty five on this part of

366
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: their face. Let's go to Mike in bayside. Mike, how

367
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 2: you doing, Hey.

368
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 9: Good morning, Deblarian asked, this was a ridiculous legend.

369
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 5: It's kind of like a guy that you if you

370
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 5: wanted the truth, you.

371
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 6: Put him on. And actually last night.

372
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 9: I was having dinner with my mother and her girlfriend.

373
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 7: And they were devastated to hear that he died. Like

374
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 7: you know, older people, and you know you're talking about

375
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 7: Johnny Carson.

376
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 6: You know, it would be great to have him around

377
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 6: to deal with.

378
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 5: Because he doled it out fifty to fifty, so he

379
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 5: would he would definitely make fun of.

380
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 8: Trump, but he would definitely make fun of GDS people

381
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 8: at LGBT, like he would kill both sides.

382
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's the idea. You know. The only person

383
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: who does that today Jimmy Fayla. He got a great

384
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 2: show here every night at nine and Saturday nights on

385
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 2: the Fox News Channel ten o'clock. He does an opening monologue.

386
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: It's exactly like Carson fifty fifty, just like Jay Leno.

387
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: Half the jokes about the Democrats, half the jokes about

388
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: the Republicans. Now nobody knew if you could watch them

389
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 2: every night for twenty thirty years jay Leno, Johnny Carson,

390
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: you still had no idea where they stood politically, no idea,

391
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: and if you knew them, Like I said about Ernie,

392
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 2: I knew him was well was I gonna know anybody?

393
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: I have no idea where he stood bluely, no idea

394
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 2: I knew Johnny Carson. I got the feeling that in

395
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 2: real life he was slightly like a millionth of a

396
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: me inch to the left of center. But that's about it,

397
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: jay Leno. I from knowing him, I think was slightly

398
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: maybe a billionth of a point to the right of center.

399
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 2: But otherwise you couldn't tell. Let's go to Bonnie and

400
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: Tom's river. Bonnie, how you doing?

401
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 6: Hi, good morning, how are you good? My question is,

402
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 6: you know, with these shuttles shut downs, it's so ridiculous.

403
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 6: Can't they put into law that whoever requests the shutdown

404
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 6: goes without pay just like everybody else.

405
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good idea. People have talked about that

406
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: if there's any kind of government shutdown where people aren't

407
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: getting paid, Congress should stop getting paid. It's a very

408
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 2: very good idea would definitely speed things up. By the way,

409
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 2: this is Friday at the end of the week. This

410
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: will be the first week where DHS employees don't get

411
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 2: a paycheck. Things were in place to keep them paid

412
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: for a while, but this will be the first day

413
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: TSA DHS don't get their paycheck. We'll talk about the

414
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: next hour, the ridiculous shutdown that's going on now. They

415
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: got to get this fixed in the next couple of

416
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: weeks because the second week of April, their Congress has

417
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: gone for Eastern and I think they're gone the first

418
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: They're gone like the first two weeks of April, so

419
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: they really only got two weeks left to fix this. Hey,

420
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 2: when we come back to Great Entertainment Reporter Roger Friedman,

421
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,280

429
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 2: known Ernie Nastis.

430
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 5: I didn't really know him, but I loved him. Everyone

431
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 5: loved him. The outpouring of love for him is amazing.

432
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 5: I mean I met him a couple of times. I

433
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 5: see some nice pictures of you on Instagram with him.

434
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was, well you met him, you know,

435
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: he was just a very happy guy. He kind of

436
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: put a positive globe every room he came into.

437
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he was also what a career. I mean,

438
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 5: he was so popular and you know, tastes change in television,

439
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 5: the television world and television news, and they're also looking

440
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 5: for the next big thing. But he was always the

441
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 5: next big thing because he did eleven years at one

442
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 5: station than twelve years at another station. So it was

443
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 5: like even when he you know, he just kept going

444
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 5: and going and going, and people loved watching him.

445
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: But there's no more big thing than local television. You know,

446
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 2: in the good old days you had Chuck Scarbough, Roger Grimsby, Bill,

447
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 2: but tell you don't have that anymore.

448
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 5: You can't. I miss Roger Grimsby.

449
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

450
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 5: Bill Utell was a great guy, by the way, did

451
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 5: you know him? Yeah, Bill, he was a lovely He

452
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 5: was a lovely guy.

453
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 2: Very stern, somber newsman. But off the air was like

454
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 2: this wild nightclub guy. He was a lot of fun.

455
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was just very He was a lot of fun,

456
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 5: very nice and a real newsman. But Ernie and asked

457
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 5: this was he was really the like the epitome of

458
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 5: New York. And they don't say why he passed, what

459
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 5: happened to him, But I hope he didn't have a

460
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 5: bad time.

461
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: I'd been sick for a little while and the final

462
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: cause was pneumonia.

463
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 5: Was yeah, but look at the outpouring of love for

464
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 5: him on all the stations last night and on all

465
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 5: of our social media. It's just great. I mean, it's

466
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 5: that's very rewarding.

467
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 2: You know, hey, let's talk about the Oscars. It's Sunday night,

468
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 2: the big Oscar ceremony. You know, Yes, it's like local

469
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: TV news. You knew every name, you knew the big anchors.

470
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: Now you don't know who they are. Same thing with

471
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: the Oscars. You had the list of presenters. I don't

472
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: know who half these people are.

473
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, the list of presenters this year surprised me. But

474
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 5: I actually wrote about this a few months ago because

475
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 5: you could already tell that the actors who were going

476
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 5: to be nominated weren't that well known or weren't big

477
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 5: movie star movie stars, you know, and there was like

478
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 5: not a lot of glitz. So I kept saying months

479
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 5: ago they better get in a lot of the old

480
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 5: Hollywood stars or the very well known brand name stars

481
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 5: while they're still alive, and get them in there to present.

482
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 5: But they didn't get any of them. The only thing

483
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 5: they're going to have that I know of so far

484
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 5: is that Barbara Streisand is going to speak for like

485
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 5: a couple of minutes about Robert Redford. But otherwise, and

486
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 5: they certainly my joke was My joke was for the

487
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 5: in memorium. They were not going to get Woody Allen

488
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 5: for Diane Keaton.

489
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: I hate to break it you, but nobody under thirty

490
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 2: five is going to know who Barbara Streisand is.

491
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 5: No they do. She's like a big star, I don't

492
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 5: think so.

493
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 7: You have a.

494
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 5: List of stars. When we were younger, we look forward

495
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 5: to seeing Gregory Peck and you know, Myrta Lloyd and

496
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 5: all these great stars come and give some glamour to

497
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 5: the Oscars. That's what it's supposed to be about. But

498
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 5: you know, the Oscars don't have that much glimber anymore

499
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 5: because people don't live in Hollywood. They don't live in

500
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 5: Los Angeles. There isn't much production in Los Angeles, and

501
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 5: it's straining for the movies, you know, to find a

502
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 5: huge auguss. I'll tell you what I'm excited about is

503
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 5: maybe next year's Oscars because Steven Spielberg has this movie

504
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 5: coming out in June called Disclosure Day, and they just

505
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 5: dropped the trailer. I have it on Showbiz four one one.

506
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 5: This movie looks fantastic. This movie looks like a return

507
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 5: to Steven Spielberg, you know, to e t Close Encounters

508
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 5: And I can't wait to see it. And I'll bet

509
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 5: it's a huge, huge hit.

510
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: What's a movie about.

511
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 5: It's about UFOs and apparently, and the disclosure is that

512
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 5: they're finally going to tell the truth about whether there

513
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 5: have been UFOs, whether they've been aliens on Earth for

514
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 5: the last eighty years, and it's going to make the UFO,

515
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 5: you know, conspiracy people go crazy, absolutely crazy. There's a

516
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 5: show on the radio overnight, do you. I don't know

517
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 5: if you ever listened.

518
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 2: To it, Flying Saucer Show.

519
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 8: I don't really get to hear it. I love that show,

520
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 8: but normal people don't want to hear that you know,

521
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 8: people call it and they say they've been abducted by aliens,

522
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 8: they're up in spaceships, they've had meetings with them. And

523
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 8: this movie is going to make those people. It's going

524
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 8: to activate those people all over the world. I mean

525
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 8: that Coast to Coast should really have Steven Spielberg on.

526
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 8: But the movie looks fantastic and it looks like the

527
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 8: cousin of Close Encounters, but even more like you.

528
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 5: Know, serious, So I'm excited about that. As far as

529
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 5: the Oscars go this weekend, you know, yeah, So it's

530
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 5: very strange the presenters are. They're going for very young

531
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 5: and everyone's everyone's under fifty or fifty straining it. But

532
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 5: they don't have any of the big, big stars. And

533
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 5: I'm afraid that the biggest part of the show is

534
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 5: going to be the memoriam because you're going to have Redford, Keaton,

535
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 5: Gene Hackman, You're going to have all these big people

536
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 5: who died during the last year. And that's a downer,

537
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 5: do you know what I mean?

538
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: Hey, the only Oscar movie I saw was Marty Supreme.

539
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 2: Is that going to win anything?

540
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 5: Marty Supreme is a flashpoint now because Timothy Challome, the

541
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 5: star for a long time was in the lead to

542
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 5: win Best Actor, but he has screwed up his Oscar

543
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 5: campaign in the most unhistoric way. First, he started appearing

544
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 5: in orange outfits. They manufactured orange ping pong balls to

545
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 5: go with it, and everywhere he went. Plus he totes

546
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 5: around Kardashian, this Kylie Jenner, who Hollywood just can't stand,

547
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 5: and she's always dressed very trashy looking at all the

548
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 5: award shows. He's really build his own career, and in

549
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks there's been like a monumental

550
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 5: campaign against him because he did an interview on CNN

551
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 5: with Matthew McConaughey and he said that he, you know,

552
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 5: he made castigating remarks about ballet and opera and said they,

553
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 5: you know, they weren't going to live on as forms

554
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 5: of art. And this made everyone angry at him. So

555
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 5: I have.

556
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: Never been to an opera, ballet, What are they getting

557
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: so uptight about?

558
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 5: Well, but they didn't like the idea, and I think

559
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 5: that you're going to see Timothey Tallam may not win

560
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 5: the Oscar this Sunday, which would be too bad because

561
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 5: he really deserved it. But there are other the other

562
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 5: people in the category are really good. You have Leonardo

563
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 5: DiCaprio who could certainly when Michael B. Jordan from Sinners

564
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 5: who's excellent, and Ethan Hawke, who's amazing in Blue Moon,

565
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 5: a movie you should rent on video and demand. So

566
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 5: Marty Supreme may have ping ponged its way out.

567
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Hey, we only got a minute left. What

568
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: about the Oscar parties? Did you write that they're kind

569
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: of downsizing a little the big parties?

570
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 5: Well, Vanity Fair. You know, Vanity Fair is not the

571
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 5: magazine it used to be, and they're struggling for circulation.

572
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 5: They've lost a lot of money. They have a new

573
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 5: editor who's very young, and they're cutting the party in half,

574
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,479
Speaker 5: so they're moving to a smaller locale and it's not

575
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 5: going to be the big, you know, pageant that it

576
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 5: usually is. And yesterday the editor did an interview where

577
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 5: he said only people who have who've won oscars can come,

578
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 5: but the nominees should forget it. So if you if

579
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 5: you're not for an Oscar and you lose, you can't come.

580
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: So trying to create some fake cash for the party.

581
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's it's not it's not. Vanvey Fair had

582
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 5: a crescendo over the last twenty years with oscar parties

583
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 5: and you know, fantastic, fabulous people. And now they stop by,

584
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 5: they take a picture on the red carpet and then

585
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 5: they go to dinner.

586
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,680

600
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 8: Yeah.

601
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: So the oscars there Sunday night a week one week

602
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: from spring beginning. This is the last week of summer.

603
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: Then right after that you have baseball Opening Day. Hey,

604
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people upset because the Yankee Opening

605
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 2: Day broadcast will be Netflix only. It's not going to

606
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: be on television, It'll Netflix only. I would think most

607
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: people have Netflix. But a lot of people speaking that,

608
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: even Michael Kay, the Yankee announcer, and a lot of

609
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 2: people baseball purists especially, they can't stand this at the

610
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: opening game of the Yankees because that's a big game.

611
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: A lot of pageantry and ceremony and a lot of

612
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 2: important stuff will not be broadcast. It'll be Netflix only. Now,

613
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 2: you can't blame the Yankees because obviously Netflix paid off

614
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: fortune for that exclusive. Hey, we'll be back in the

615
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: next hour. Miranda Divine will be with us. We've got

616
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 2: lots to talk about. And don't forget I'm here every

Speaker 2: Well, we got a lot to get to this hour,

626
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: so we'll get to Iran in a moment. To just

627
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 2: update you on the crazy mayor. This mom Donnie is

628
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: absolutely nuts. I mean, we knew he was like a

629
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 2: left wing socialist, antisemitic all have been on top of that,

630
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: he's just nuts the things he does. I mean, it's

631
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: just in the first few weeks. He's only been here

632
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 2: two months. Just look at some of the things he said.

633
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: Remember the terrible shooting of the nutjob. Crazy maniac is

634
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: out there, shoots the cop. Mom Donnie rushes to the

635
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 2: hospital to visit the shooter, not the cop. We've never

636
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: seen that before ever in history. Goes to the hospital,

637
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: visits the purp to make sure he's okay. Have you

638
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 2: ever heard of anything like that. You're the mayor, this

639
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: is your cop, you're policeman who was shot. He's supposed

640
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: to visit him. You're not supposed to go visit the purp,

641
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: the shooter in the hospital. Absolutely insane. Then he invites

642
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 2: the worst guy in the world, that terrorist supporter Khalil

643
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: Mam Mama whatever his name is, Khalil, who's at Colombia

644
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 2: leading this anti Semitic anti Israel charge.

645
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 3: There's this.

646
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: Awful October seventh Holocaust that takes place in Israel. Khalil

647
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 2: supports it, he believes in it. Horrible, horrible guy. Thank

648
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: god the United States decided to deport this guy. You

649
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 2: can't get a green card visa. You can't be given

650
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 2: a green card to come to the US of visa

651
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 2: to come here and then try to just destroy everything

652
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: and everybody. And if it's about freedom of speech, you

653
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: got to say on your application, this is what you

654
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: stand for that when you get here, you're going to

655
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 2: lead protests against Israel, against this, against it. But he

656
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 2: didn't say any He lied on his application, so they

657
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: were going to deport him. They had him detained, he

658
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 2: was in custody, You get a left wing wacko judge

659
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: who lets him out, which is not that's bad enough.

660
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 2: Then you get the mayor invites him to Gracie Mansion

661
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 2: to have dinner there. It's absolutely insane. Mom, Donnie's still

662
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 2: getting flak for that yesterday. Tried to explain it.

663
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 10: When he was detained by ice agents, flown to Louisiana

664
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 10: and held in an ice facility, and he was held

665
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 10: there for months and the only charge that was levied

666
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 10: against him was the exercising of his First Amendment rights.

667
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 2: Well, actually no, it was leading all kinds of terrible disruptions.

668
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: And you know, if you hate us that much, don't

669
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 2: come here. Don't come here. You know, if you love

670
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: Hamas that much, go over there, go join them. But this,

671
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: mam Donni's just one crazy thing after another. Now the latest,

672
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: you know, there was some flack over the homeless. He

673
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 2: remember how bad things got in the month of February.

674
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 2: I remember that cold spell where like temperature, the real field

675
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 2: temperature was like minus ten degrees. It was unbelievably cold.

676
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: And Mamdani orders the cops and all the agencies, don't

677
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: bother the homeless. If they want to stay out in

678
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 2: the street, let them stay out. And the result was

679
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 2: seventeen died out in the streets. So you got to

680
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: do something. You know, we have these shelters, and the

681
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: problem is you got politicians running, and politicians, whether it's

682
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 2: Tablasi or types like that, they're just totally incompetent. I

683
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 2: mean they're nice guys, they can make a nice speech,

684
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 2: but they're not managers. They don't know how to run anything.

685
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: You know, they'll tell you, well, the shelter's not safe,

686
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: shelter is infested with rats. Well if that's the case,

687
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: go fix it. That happens all the time.

688
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 5: You know.

689
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: When guys like Trump are the great builders of New York,

690
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 2: sometimes they buy an old building and you know, that's

691
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 2: how the meatpacking district started. When the great Irwin Cohen

692
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: he bought the old Chelsea Market, it was all run down.

693
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 2: He ended up creating the meatpacking District, the most spectacular

694
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 2: thing in the world. But he used to tell me

695
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 2: when he bought it it was disgusting. It was filled

696
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: with rats and roaches and drug dealers and hookers and junkies,

697
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: and it was a crack then. So if he had

698
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: the Dplasio approach, he'd say, oh boy, we can't go

699
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: in there. Nothing we can do. No, they went in

700
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: there and cleaned it out. You come in with a

701
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 2: lot of cops and a thousand exterminators and you clean

702
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 2: it out and you fix it up. So you could

703
00:36:55,880 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: do that with these shelters. If they're that bad, fix them.

704
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: It's that If that were Rudy Giuliani, he'd be back

705
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: at the shelter the next day with forty cops and

706
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 2: fifty exterminators and they'd clean the place up and then

707
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: you'd run the shelters. They're not safe. Put some cops

708
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 2: in there, make them sick. But politicians can't figure that out.

709
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: So what do you do with the homeless? Well, Mom,

710
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 2: Donnie just signed a contract yesterday for two billion dollars.

711
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: This is coming out of our paychecks. A contract for

712
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: two billion dollars to put the homeless in hotels. Remember

713
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 2: they did this with the illegals that came here. Remember

714
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: they Watson Hotel right up there on fifty seventh Street

715
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: with the swimming pool on the roof and the eight

716
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a night rooms. That's where they put these

717
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: illegal aliens. We paid for it out of our paychecks.

718
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: So now they're going to put the homeless in hotels.

719
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 2: They're even closing the men's shelter. It's two hundred and

720
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 2: fifty beds there can hold two hundred and fifty residents

721
00:37:55,280 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 2: on thirtieth Street, they're closing it. You could the house

722
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 2: people there for a lot less money, but they're going

723
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 2: to spend two billion on hotel rooms. It's absolutely ridiculous.

724
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 2: Have you ever tried to get a hotel room in Manhattan.

725
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 2: It's very expensive. It's a lot of money for hotel Manhattan.

726
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: You ever said, you know, I think we'll stay in

727
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 2: Manhattan one night. Dan, You look at the rates eight

728
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 2: hundred a night, one thousand a night. He said, I'm

729
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 2: not going to spend that. But here's the homeless getting

730
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 2: it for free. Now, why would you give a two

731
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: billion dollar contract.

732
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 3: To these hotels.

733
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: Well, he may be stupid, but he's like a real politician.

734
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: Now he's getting to be a real sleazy, corrupt politician.

735
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 2: The reason you do that, it's the big Hotel Association,

736
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: which is one of the biggest donors in politics, one

737
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: of the biggest special interest groups in New York, the

738
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: Hotel Association. That's why politicians love to give them multi

739
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 2: billion dollar contracts, multi billion dollar contracts. Now here's the

740
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: other problemaide the fact that you're overpaying like crazy to

741
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: house the homeless. When you give a billion dollar contracts.

742
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 2: Something happened during the migrant crisis. When you take thousands

743
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 2: and thousands and thousands of hotel rooms for this purpose,

744
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 2: you're taking thousands and thousands of hotel rooms off the market.

745
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 2: So you're cutting down on the available number of hotel

746
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 2: rooms for tourists, and when you cut down the inventory,

747
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: it drives the price way up.

748
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: So if it's eight.

749
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: Hundred a night for the hotel and you take five,

750
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 2: six ten thousand rooms off the market, the price is

751
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: going to double on the hotels that are still on

752
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 2: the markets. Absolutely insane. Only an idiot would do that,

753
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: or a sleazy politician who needs to take care of

754
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 2: special interest groups. The Hotel Association is one of them.

755
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 2: I mean, not their fault, but they're big, big, huge donors.

756
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 2: They take care of politicians. And it's not just them.

757
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: A lot of these unions they get big, big contracts

758
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 2: from these politicians because they make big, big, big donations.

759
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: Let's get to the Nancy Guthrie case. There's a name

760
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,959
Speaker 2: you don't hear anymore, Nancy Guthrie. Go watch TV twenty

761
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 2: four to seven. You won't hear the name Nancy Guthrie anymore.

762
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 3: Did everybody just give up?

763
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 2: Well, that crazy sheriff, his name is Nanos. That local

764
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 2: sheriff who looked like a real bumbling and competent from

765
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: the beginning. Besides bumbling and incompetent, is starting to look

766
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 2: sleezier and Sleezier and Sleezier, and stuff is coming out

767
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 2: about this guy way in the past in his career,

768
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: he's lied on his resume in earlier jobs he had,

769
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 2: he got brought up on charges for all sorts of crap.

770
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 2: So he's not the most reputable guy in the world.

771
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 2: And then Yesterday makes this bizarre statement, because what happened

772
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: to Nancy Guthrie? Why have we stopped talking about it?

773
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 2: Why have we forgotten about it? So this sheriff Yesterday says, well,

774
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: he thinks he knows why she was targeted. In fact,

775
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 2: he warns the suspect could strike again. Well, if he

776
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: has any idea what happened, why is he telling us?

777
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 2: Why would you make such a real, weird, mysterious statement

778
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: like that. You're the sheriff, I think I know what happened.

779
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 5: Let us know.

780
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: Tell us. There are some people, now this sounds a

781
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 2: little crazy, but there are some people now that think

782
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: he was involved somehow, or that he knew the people involved,

783
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 2: something like that. I have no evidence of that, and

784
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: it sounds crazy to me, but there are some people

785
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: that now are starting to believe that. Hey, the Department

786
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 2: of Justice issued a big correction. You know, the Muller Report,

787
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 2: that crazy Muller Report. This is hard to believe, but

788
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 2: ten years ago Democrats got so upset about Trump getting

789
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 2: elected that they've concocted one of the worst hoaxes ever

790
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 2: on the American public. It was the Russia collusion hoax.

791
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: They actually tried to convince people that Trump was some

792
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: sort of Russian agent. He was involved with the Russians,

793
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 2: He and Putin, they were colluding on stealing the election,

794
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 2: and they tried to convince everybody that Trump didn't win

795
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: Russia actually tampered with the election. Now, you always get

796
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 2: some election denying through the years, Kennedy, Nixon, there's elections

797
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: where a lot of fraud took place, and it's always

798
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 2: brought up. There's a bunch of examples. Kerry claimed that

799
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: with Bush and all that. But this was the biggest

800
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: case of election denial ever, trying to claim Russia stole

801
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 2: the election, and it led to the Mueller investigation, the

802
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 2: Muller witch hunt, which spent one hundred and fifty million

803
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: of taxpayer money and found absolutely no evidence anywhere of

804
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 2: any Russian collusion. Nothing. They found no evidence of Russia

805
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 2: tampering with the election. The only thing they came up with.

806
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 2: They found that Russian bots or something spent one hundred

807
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 2: thousand on Facebook ads. Now that is absolutely nothing. Big

808
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 2: restaurants in Manhattan spent one hundred thousand on Facebook ads.

809
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 2: It's nothing. The campaigns each spent like three hundred million

810
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: on Facebook ads. One hundred thousand on Facebook ads. It

811
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 2: is not going to do anything to affect anything in

812
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 2: the election. So the whole thing was a hoax. Well,

813
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 2: now the Department of Justice, going through the Muller Report,

814
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 2: has issued a huge correction in it. You remember, there

815
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: was the story about Russia was blackmailing Trump because there

816
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 2: was a video of his stay in a Moscow hotel

817
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 2: room where he was with two prostitutes and there were

818
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 2: golden showers that remember that, this ridiculous, preposterous story about

819
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: this ridiculous video tape. It never happened, there's no video,

820
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 2: but they said it was a Russian intelligence agent. They

821
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 2: even named the guy Russian intelligence agent that was behind

822
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 2: this tape, Russian intelligence agent that was to help create

823
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 2: this whole Russia connection. Well, they've corrected it now because

824
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 2: the guy, whose name is Georgie rich Seltrich is Zaldi,

825
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 2: whatever his name is here. It turns out he's not Russian.

826
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 2: He was an American. He's originally a Georgian, but he's

827
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 2: an American. He wasn't Russian, had nothing to do with Russia.

828
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 2: So that correction being put out yesterday by the Department

829
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 2: of Justice. First time we're ever hearing about that. Hey,

830
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 2: you know, taxes in New York. They keep wanting to

831
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 2: raise taxes. They keep wanting to raise taxes on the rich,

832
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 2: raise taxes on everybody, because they keep claiming, we just

833
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 2: don't have enough money. The budget. The budget, we're short

834
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 2: of money. We have a short New York City Council

835
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 2: wants to boost its own budget by ten percent, ten percent.

836
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 2: It's one hundred and fifteen million a year. What the

837
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 2: hell would cost one hundred and fifteen million a year

838
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 2: for the city council. They want to raise it to

839
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 2: about one hundred and thirty million a year. Absolutely ridiculous.

840
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 2: They want to add fifty seven new jobs city council.

841
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 2: They got a meeting room, got that long desk with

842
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 2: the microphones. They show up, they talk, they vote. That's

843
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 2: all you need. Why would you need hundreds and hundreds

844
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 2: of employees for this and they want to add fifty

845
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 2: seven new jobs legal and professional contracts of eighteen new

846
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: jobs just for the city council speaker. What the hell

847
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 2: would they need eighteen new people for. Absolutely ridiculous. Hey,

848
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: if people tell you everybody's leaving New York, you hear

849
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 2: that all the time from people. Everybody I know is

850
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 2: leaving New York. People are fleeing New York. It's absolutely

851
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: not true. There are more people moving in than moving out.

852
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 2: In fact, the condo co op market, especially the high end,

853
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 2: it's more contracts closed last month than usual, the month before,

854
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 2: more contracts closed than the year before. And when it

855
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 2: comes to rentals, and that's the best way to tell,

856
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 2: because a lot of people when they move for the

857
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 2: first time to New York, new people coming in usually

858
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 2: will rent first. They'll rent and then maybe a year later,

859
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 2: if they like it, I'll buy something. But the rental

860
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 2: market is the way you tell. The rental market is

861
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: through the roof. In fact, it's very tough to rent

862
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 2: anything right now. In fact that we've set a new

863
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 2: record for declines in available homes. There's very very little inventory,

864
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 2: a new record for how many rentals are going on.

865
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 2: It's a massive boom. It's driving the price up. You know,

866
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 2: we see the price of rentals. One reason is so

867
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: many people are moving here. There's very very very very

868
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 2: little inventory, so don't fall for all that stuff. Now

869
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 2: people are moving out of Washington State. This is what

870
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 2: happens when you try to go soak the rich or

871
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 2: target the billionaires. So they wrought Washington State putting in

872
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 2: this new tax. Low's an extra ten percent tax anybody

873
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 2: making over a million dollars a year. The founder, creator

874
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 2: of Starbucks, which is probably the most famous Washington State company,

875
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 2: well maybe Microsoft, but Starbucks just a symbol of Washington State.

876
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 2: The chairman, the founder, Howard Schultz, says he's leaving Washington

877
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 2: the day before that tax starts, because you know, if

878
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 2: you've got one hundred million and the tax is ten million,

879
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 2: you're handing ten million to the government just to squander it,

880
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 2: just to waste it. If you're a guy like Howard Schultz,

881
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 2: it's not that you're greedy, but if you've got an

882
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: extra tax, it's gonna be an extra twenty million. You'd

883
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 2: rather give that to your kids. You'd rather give that

884
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 2: to a charity. You'd rather donate that to a hospital.

885
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 2: Why would you want to give it to some slease

886
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 2: ball politicians who are gonna waste the twenty million, So

887
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 2: I don't blame them. He's leaving, he's moving to Florida. Hey,

888
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one

889
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:47,479
Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two

00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten.

891
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simon Show on wor.

892
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one

893
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to Tony

894
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 2: and Chester. Tony, how you doing.

895
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 11: Hey, Mark, I'm doing well and I love listening to you,

896
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 11: and there's so many things I'd love to talk to

897
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 11: you about. It's just, you know, Rudy Giuliani. This thing

898
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,760
Speaker 11: with Savannah Guthrie. There's something on the internet that's saying,

899
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 11: you know, she interviewed some people connected with the ebscene

900
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 11: case and they're trying to teach her.

901
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 9: No, no, no, no, okay.

902
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 11: So here's the one yesterday when you're talking about Elon

903
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 11: being probably the next trillionaire. Why does it he with

904
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 11: all his brilliant attack homelessness because he's got enough money

905
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 11: to solve it on his own.

906
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 2: No, you gotta remember he could do that in a second.

907
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 2: Guys like this could figure out everything. But he tried

908
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 2: it with the government wasting fraud, the DOGE program, and

909
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 2: all he did was get attacked day in night, NonStop,

910
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 2: and he had to back off. So that's the problem.

911
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:51,959
Speaker 3: You could.

912
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 2: You know, guys like that can come in and fix

913
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 2: everything in government, but the swamp, the deep state will

914
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 2: fight you like crazy and chase you out of Washington,

915
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 2: and that's what happened. Let's go to Barbara in Woodside, Barbara,

916
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 2: how you doing?

917
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 12: How you do?

918
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 13: And I'm doing great. Listen, I worked at the city

919
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 13: council and all these people are political appointees. They're favors

920
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 13: to the political parties. And I stayed there only four

921
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 13: months because it's the environment was too political and very

922
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 13: hard to stay there.

923
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,720
Speaker 2: So when they want to increase the budget, hire another

924
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 2: ninety people, it's like this is like Polly walnutsts no

925
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: medical Paully Walnuts, no show jobs. That kind of stuff

926
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 2: that makes sense. Let's go to Bob in Mottvale. Bob,

927
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:36,479
Speaker 2: how you doing.

928
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 14: I'm hanging in there. Mark, thanks for taking their call.

929
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 14: You know that the reason why they're closing out homeless

930
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 14: shelter for men is that it's decrepit. It's like any

931
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 14: other New York City landlord owned property. Let to go

932
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 14: to shame. And now they're going to spend billions on

933
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 14: a hotel.

934
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 2: I know, but my point was that Chelsea Market was

935
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 2: the most decrepit thing in New York and Irwin Cohen

936
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 2: bys it and said let's transform it. All of a sudden,

937
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 2: it's the most beautiful building in New York on a hotspot.

938
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 2: And it didn't cost two billion. At these hotel rooms,

939
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 2: it costs like twenty million. And that was it. To

940
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 2: fix it up it again, to fix up that. If

941
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 2: you give that shelter to Donald Trump and said turn

942
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 2: this into a ballroom, it'd be the most gleaming, beautiful

943
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 2: ballroom in New York in two months. So you can

944
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 2: fix up the shelter. You don't have to spend billions

945
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 2: and billions in hotel rooms. But as we pointed out,

946
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 2: it's a contract to the Hotel Association, which can do

947
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 2: you a lot of good. If you're a politician, Let's

948
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 2: go to Tony and White Plains. Tony, how you doing.

949
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, good morning, Mark. I also met Ernie a Masters.

950
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 15: I live in White plains West, shefie.

951
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 2: Oh you call that living but okay, no, I love

952
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 2: White Plains. It's a beautiful place. You got a Trump

953
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 2: Tower in White plains, You got a rich Garlton and

954
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 2: white plains.

955
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 15: Yes, we do, yes. But the reason why I called

956
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 15: is I met Ernie actually in the Pocono's Popono downs

957
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 15: at the racetrack. My friend George Anthony, he calls the

958
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 15: races there, and I'm also the horse business. And I

959
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 15: was with my wife and some friends. And then we

960
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 15: went up.

961
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 3: To the booths.

962
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 15: Uh, my friend George was calling the races and and

963
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 15: and there was George Anthony.

964
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 2: I mean, we got to speak this story up a little.

965
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 15: Let's get to part Ernie anastis. I'm sorry, and and

966
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 15: uh he introduced us, and he was a perfect gentleman.

967
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 15: But we used to watch them.

968
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 5: All the time.

969
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 15: He didn't hit you, No, no, no, he doesn't. He

970
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 15: actually even off off to buy a hot dog, but

971
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 15: we already have one because they were having the.

972
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,919
Speaker 2: All right now, it's a good good point. Yeah, Ernie

973
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 2: was the nicest guy in the world. If you go

975

Speaker 2: hotel to go there? Yeah.

990
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 12: I try to lose weight, which is impossible. But anyway, And.

991
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 2: If you're in are you near Smithtown?

992
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 5: Uh?

993
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, I am big spectacular.

994
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 2: New restaurant just open there, the Chaz It's the sister

995
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 2: restaurant of Rothman's, just opening in Smithtown this week.

996
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 15: I'll have to try it.

997
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 12: Anyway. Listen, we're in trouble when Madonnie in the city.

998
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 12: My kids live in the city and they voted for

999
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 12: him because they're crazy left wing is what can I say.

1000
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 12: They grew up in Garden City, which when there was

1001
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 12: a Democratic vote in the ballot, they'd have an investigation.

1002
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 12: But that'sn't either here or there with mcdonni, with Mandannie,

1003
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 12: we're in trouble because even if Bruce Blakeman.

1004
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: Should win, we will win Grce Blakeman.

1005
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 12: No, I hope he will. I hope he will win,

1006
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 12: but he would if he wins, and he can remove

1007
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 12: when Donnie under the city Charna, you have the you

1008
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 12: have the public app Jonnie Williams, he's just.

1009
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 2: Well, he's no great bargain either. But also remember, Bruce Blakeman,

1010
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 2: when he gets elected governor, can remove the district attorneys.

1011
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 2: He can get rid of Alvin Bragging, put in a

1012
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 2: real DA. Things can happen.

1013
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 12: Mock listing.

1014
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 5: I'm not always.

1015
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 2: First of all, this whole thing is your fault. You're

1016
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 2: crazy left wing kids voted for him.

1017
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 12: Let me tell you. I'll tell you what I told him.

1018
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 12: I finally told my daughter, who went to a fancy school,

1019
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 12: I paid for it. I said, I should have sent

1020
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 12: you to the University of Havana. It would have been

1021
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 12: cheaper that same result. Goodbye, great call.

1022
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 2: Hey, when we come back to the brilliant columnist, the

Speaker 2: are out wherever you get podcasts. Miranda Divine, how you doing.

1033
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 16: I'm really well, Thanks Mark, thanks for having me on.

1034
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for all the great work, great columns. Hey talk

1035
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 2: about the media, the far left me even normal mainstream

1036
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 2: it's gone crazy. Those two Isis bomb throwers are just happy,

1037
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 2: go lucky teenagers, and they're attacking us over Iran. What

1038
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 2: is going on here?

1039
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 16: I just think that Trump derangement has gripped so hard

1040
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 16: that they can't even see for their own self protection

1041
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 16: or the protection of their readers, their viewers. They don't care.

1042
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 16: You know, they make us more at risk by downplaying

1043
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 16: these terrorist attacks. I mean, I think now it's impossible

1044
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 16: for them to pretend that we're not suffering from a

1045
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 16: rise in Islamic terrorism, and this is something that New

1046
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 16: York knows all too well. And yet we have a

1047
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 16: mayor who is the chief of the down players. He

1048
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 16: posed as if he were the victim of the two

1049
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 16: Isis inspired suspects who threw those homemade bombs into a

1050
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 16: crowd outside his Grace and Ansen. He was perfectly safe

1051
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 16: because he's got a massive detail and the house is

1052
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 16: set right back from the street. But still he just

1053
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 16: could not bring himself to utter the word terrorism until

1054
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 16: two or three days on.

1055
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 5: And at the very.

1056
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 16: Beginning, he was just railing against what was it like

1057
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 16: white supremacy and bigotry and racism because there were these

1058
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 16: anti Muslim protesters outside Grace and Ansen.

1059
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 14: But the attackers were attacking them.

1060
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 16: They were on his side. And you know, this is

1061
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 16: a mayor who doesn't get it.

1062
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, but maybe he does get it. Maybe, you know,

1063
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 2: like inviting that terrorist sympathizer to dinner at Gracy Mansion

1064
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 2: if he wanted to be his friend, maybe talk to

1065
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 2: him privately on the phone, but to bring him right

1066
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 2: into Gracy Mansion. He's trying to send us a message

1067
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 2: of some kind, isn't he?

1068
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 16: And then tweet out a photo. It wasn't as if

1069
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 16: he was even discreet about it. He invited Mahmood Khalil,

1070
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 16: who's the anti Hamas agitator who organized or led the

1071
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 16: Columbia protests and to the Trump administration has been trying

1072
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 16: to deport and has become a cause celebrity in the

1073
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 16: left and ford zoram ma'am dani. This guy is just

1074
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 16: a hero and a saint. So he invites him over

1075
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 16: and honors him with a special dinner. And that's just

1076
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 16: twenty four hours after these two bombs that only by

1077
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 16: the grace of God did not explode and kill a name,

1078
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 16: dozens of people, police officers.

1079
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 2: This is all just in the first few weeks.

1080
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 3: This is Mayor.

1081
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 2: Then the cop is shotting, he goes to visit the

1082
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 2: shooter in the hospital, not the Yeah, so what are

1083
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 2: we going to do for the next three and.

1084
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,959
Speaker 14: A half years, Well, I mean done.

1085
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 16: He's just the most obvious manifestation of this sickness and

1086
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 16: the Democrat Party.

1087
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 5: And you know, as you say, they.

1088
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 16: Identify with the persecutor, not the victim. They are soft

1089
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 16: on crime because they think that anybody who's locked up

1090
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 16: by law enforcement is a victim, and they're victims are

1091
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 16: just people that you're just inconvenient truths that you just

1092
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 16: want to ignore. And they seem to feel that they

1093
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 16: themselves are impervious to any consequences. And I guess when

1094
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 16: you control cities like the Democrats do across this country.

1095
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 16: They control the greatest cities New York, LA, Chicago, They

1096
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 16: control the nation's capital to the point where you cannot Washington,

1097
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 16: d C. The Trump administration cannot get a jury that

1098
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 16: is unbiased, so they can't really prosecute any of the

1099
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 16: cases they want to bring, and they're a sort of

1100
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 16: a stalemate. And you know, the Democrats also control the

1101
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 16: legal profession, and so they're busy concocting new law fare

1102
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 16: while the Trump administration the DOJ is kind of flowing

1103
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 16: on the back foot and has a whole bunch of

1104
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 16: vipers within the nest.

1105
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 2: Miranda Devine. The other media narrative is about Iran. Well,

1106
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 2: the president has not explained to us, what do you

1107
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 2: need anything explain to you. I think I could see

1108
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 2: the purpose of this work, can't you.

1109
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 16: I mean, I think it's been crystal clear from the

1110
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 16: bombing last year of the nuclear facilities at Porto to

1111
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 16: the Saturday that he decided to launch an attack. I

1112
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 16: think it's been pretty obvious. I mean, it's actually has

1113
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 16: been obvious for almost half a century that Iran is

1114
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 16: our enemy, and they make no bones about it. They're

1115
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 16: constantly saying death to America. They fund all the proxies

1116
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 16: that attack Americans of the battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan.

1117
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 16: They are the masterminds of the IED's that killed and

1118
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 16: maimed and left brain injured so many American soldiers. So

1119
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 16: we know that they do not mean well to us.

1120
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 16: But every other president has, you know, erred on the

1121
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 16: side of caution and decided that Iran is too big

1122
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 16: a beast to go after, and so they've just tried

1123
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 16: to appease them with billions of dollars of cash as

1124
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 16: the Barmer administration did, or turn a blind eye, or

1125
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 16: kick the can down the road. And Donald Trump's not

1126
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 16: a guy to kick the can down the road. So

1127
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 16: for good or for ill, we're in it now. And

1128
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 16: I think it's incumbent on us to support what the

1129
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 16: administration is doing and just hope they know what they're doing.

1130
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 2: Hey, Miranda, Divine, do we need Obviously we do but

1131
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 2: can we ever get term limits? You know you got

1132
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 2: this Clyburn, James Clyburn, he's eighty five running for reelection.

1133
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 2: We really do need term limits, don't we.

1134
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 16: Yeah, we need term limits, and also we don't need dynasties. Honestly,

1135
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 16: what is it? Cliburn's daughter apparently is waiting in the

1136
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 16: team takeover when he finally decides, after what is it

1137
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 16: seventeen terms that he might take a break. The problem

1138
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 16: is he has such a stranglehold on that neck of

1139
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 16: the woods that he'll just get whatever he wants so

1140
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 16: he'll be able to run again from a coffin.

1141
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 3: Not good, Not good.

1142
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 2: Hey, we love your podcast, Miranda Divine does the great

1143
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 2: podcast pod Force one. There's soole many great episodes with

1144
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: President Trump. Everybody can go on. Wherever you get your podcast,

1145
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 2: you can listen to all of them. Who do you

1146
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 2: have next?

1147
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 16: So we've got oh, I'm trying to remember. I think

1148
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 16: it's Brendan Carr, the FCC commissioner. It was going to

1149
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 16: be James Coma. We're interviewing both, but James Coma's got

1150
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 16: just had an issue in Kentucky that he's got to stay,

1151
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 16: So we're not sure if we're going to be able

1152
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 16: to interview James kma I would love to do that, love.

1153
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 9: To find out.

1154
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:28,919
Speaker 5: What he thought of Hillary.

1155
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 16: Clinton her testimony, and what he thinks of Jill Biden's

1156
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 16: new book. So we will get to him at some point,

1157
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 16: but it may not be in time for our next

1158
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 16: drop on Wednesday.

1159
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 2: Of course, one we'll make sure you get Miranda Devine's

1160
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 2: latest book, The Big Guy. She's written the best books

1161
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 2: on Joe Biden. The Big Guy is a huge best seller.

1162
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 2: What do you think? What do you think Joe Biden

1163
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 2: will be in the next year, just still sitting there

1164
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 2: in Delaware doing nothing.

1165
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 16: Well, we want obviously their grifts by nature and explains

1166
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 16: Joe Biden's book. But I don't know. He seems like

1167
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 16: when he's allowed out, he reminds us of who he is.

1168
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 16: And he gave a speech the other day in which

1169
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 16: he told everyone that he's smarter than all of you,

1170
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 16: and he's always been smarter, and everyone thought that he

1171
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 16: wasn't smart because he had a stutter, but it actually

1172
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 16: hid his genius.

1173
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 5: I don't know why he.

1174
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 16: Was talking about that, but that's him. It's all about

1175
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 16: Joe Biden. So I think until his dying breath. He

1176
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 16: will be lying for America and self agrandizing and telling

1177
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 16: tall tales.

1178
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 2: And flying commercial all the time. He's the only ex

1179
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 2: president can't seem to borrow a plane from anybody because

1180
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 2: he always flying commercial. It's pretty embarrassing.

1181
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 16: Well, I mean, I think the Democrat donors were furious

1182
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 16: about the twenty four election with both Joe Biden and

1183
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,040
Speaker 16: Kamala Harris. And Joe Biden saddled the Democrat Party with

1184
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 16: Kamala Harris because he promised Jim klib and another that

1185
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 16: he would appoint a woman of color as his VP.

1186
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 16: And he did that, and he chose probably the stupidest

1187
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 16: woman of color he could have found in the whole

1188
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 16: country in Kamila Harris. But that was stuck with her,

1189
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 16: and she was unelectable. And yet she still has a

1190
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 16: baton in her knapsack. She's still or is teasing that

1191
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 16: she's going to run again.

1192
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 2: Say that again. A button in her knapsack.

1193
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 16: It must be an Australianism bastin, like a leadership batson.

1194
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 2: A baton in her knapsack. I got to use that.

1195
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 2: That's excellent.

1196
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 16: I didn't realize it. It was a strange Australian.

1197
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm afraid it is, but it's great. Well, everybody get
