1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark.

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 3: Simone Show on SEVR.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: Heay, what happened? It's cold outside, but it's got warmer tomorrow.

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: You got a lot to get to today. We'll get

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 2: to the president's speech last night. We'll get to the shutdown.

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: Pam BONDI might have a problem. We'll get to Christy Nome,

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: this stuff coming out about her. We'll get to ice

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: the shutdown, all of that crazy mayor Mom Donnie with

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: his idea of raising taxes and all that. As we

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: have always hoped. The City Council speaker Julie Mennon, Democrat,

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: but a common sense Democrat is standing up to him

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: and blocking him, and she may be become a hero

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: in what's about to happen here. So we got a

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: lot to get to this morning. President's speech last night,

16
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: I don't know it was it was a good speech.

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: I don't think he did his best When he does

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: those reading a teleprompter standing there in the wheerever that

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: was the East Room or wherever they did that speech,

20
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: it's you know, I would he's better with an audience,

21
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: although it was supposed to be a formal address. He's

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: not great with formal addresses. It's not doesn't play to

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: his strength, or I would have I would have gone

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: to a military base and done it there with with

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: the with the troops around him. But then the Democrats,

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: the crazy fake news would attack and fork exploiting the

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: military and all of that. So but it was a

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: pretty good speech. He laid out a lot of things

29
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't know. You know, if you're

30
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: you know, hard work in American you don't have time

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: to follow this stuff. Eight hours a day. You're not

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: listening to talk radio, you're not going really in depthy

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: just watching the nightly news. All you hear about is

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: the Straits or Hormosa closed and this is the worst

35
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: thing that ever happened. How are we going to get

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: him open? This is total disaster with the straits closed.

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: And so there were some good parts he had explain

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,279
Speaker 2: to people, we don't get any oil from the Straits

39
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: of horn Moose. It has nothing to do with us,

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: doesn't affect.

41
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: Us to those countries that can't get fuel, many of

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: which refuse to get involved in.

43
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: The That's what was the other point. It's Europe that

44
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: needs a straight at hor Moose. It's India Pakistan. Those

45
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 2: over there they needed straet terms. They should help get

46
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: it open to.

47
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: Those countries that can't get fuel, many of which refuse

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: to get involved in the decapitation of Iran. We had

49
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 1: to do it ourselves. I have a suggestion. Number one,

50
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: buy oil from the United States of America. We have plenty,

51
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: we have so much. And number two, build up some

52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: delayed courage. Should have done it before, should have done

53
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: it with us as we asked. Go to the strait

54
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: and just take it, protect it, use it for yourself.

55
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. So again, we have all the oil we need.

56
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: Thanks to President Trump's first term, we're totally oil independent.

57
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: And then here's the one I love after something like

58
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: this to watch MSNBC and CNN and all the crazies

59
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: and how are they going to attack it? Well, he

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: pointed out, once we're done, once it's over, once we

61
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: leave Straits of Hormose automatically open, they'll open by themselves.

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: Because the only people that need the Straits of Hormuse

63
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: it's Iran. That's how they sell their oil, that's what

64
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: they do for revenue, sell oil. But you can only

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: sell it if the straits are open and the tankers

66
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: are moving if the straits are closed and the tankers

67
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: aren't moving, you can't sell any oil and you're gonna

68
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: lose all your income. So this is what they attacked

69
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: him on. He's it's a childish fantasy that they'll just

70
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: open by themselves. What kind of out of control terrible though,

71
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: that's just planned. They'll open by themselves. Most people watching

72
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: this understood exactly what he meant. They will open as

73
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: soon as we leave. We could actually open them militarily,

74
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: but it would require some risk, and we don't get

75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: any oil from there. I even take the risk. But

76
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: it was okay last night.

77
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: Our objectives are very simple and clear. We are systematically

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: dismantling the regime's ability to threaten America or project power

79
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: outside of their borders. That means eliminating Iran's navy, which

80
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: is now absolutely destroyed.

81
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. So if you're watching all the crazies last night, well,

82
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: the best thing is this, Chuck Schumer tweets. Schumer tweets

83
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: out that it was the most rambling, incoherent speech ever,

84
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: the most rambling, out of control, meandering rambling. Nobody could

85
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: understand what he was saying. Nobody can understand why we

86
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: were there. And then he said it was. He made

87
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: it clear that this is the single greatest foreign policy

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: blunder in the history of the world. Now that's when

89
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: you know things are going well for the president. Chuck

90
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 2: Schumer is not that stupid. I mean, he has some

91
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: kind of functioning brain. But even he couldn't come up

92
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: with a logical argument. Obviously, it's if you take out

93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: the worst, most evil terrorist government in the world. Obviously

94
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: you could argue, well, we didn't need to do it,

95
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 2: or this wasn't the right time. But obviously it's not

96
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: the greatest foreign policy blunder. I mean, it's a great

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 2: thing to do, even if it's not the right moment,

98
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: Even if it's not the right way. It would never

99
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 2: be considered the greatest killing hitler. It can't be considered

100
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: the greatest foreign policy blunder in the world. Wiping out

101
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: the Ayatola, wiping out the most evil terrorist funding regime

102
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: in the world. I think people understand that's not the

103
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: biggest foreign policy blunder in history. And it was a

104
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: short speed feeling like twenty minutes.

105
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise

106
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: in gasoline prices here at home. This short term increase

107
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching

108
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: to range terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring

109
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 1: countries that have nothing to do with the conflict.

110
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see, he's not good at that reading the

111
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: teleprompt many kind of it's not his strength. He when

112
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: he just talks, you know, just a couple of keywords

113
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: on the page, when he just starts talking, he's brilliant,

114
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: but that it's not his strength. But that's what people

115
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: were calling for, it demanding a formal Oval office speech,

116
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: although he wasn't. He hate doing it in the Oval office.

117
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: He don't like sitting at the desk. He likes standing.

118
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: So that's why they did it in the east room there.

119
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: But other presidents are professional politicians. At George Bush and

120
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, they know how to give that very formal speech,

121
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: and they're great teleprompter readers. It's it's not a skill

122
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 2: to be proud of that you're good at reading a speech.

123
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: The fact that you can just add libberts, speak from

124
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: the heart and do an hour and a half, that's

125
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: something to be proud of. So reaction Wall Street Journal,

126
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: which doesn't like Trump, you know, the Wall Street Journal

127
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: never very favorable to Trump. They thought it was a

128
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: great speech, They thought it was wonderful. They really really

129
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: applauded it. Stock market is down, which means nothing. It's

130
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 2: you know, as John Carney pointed out yesterday, the stock

131
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: market Wall Street is an overreaction machine. They overreact to everything.

132
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: And they did this with tariffs, you know, plunge eight

133
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: million points, so this is the end of the world,

134
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: and then two seconds later it goes right back up

135
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: to an all time high. So you'll see the same

136
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: thing here in a few weeks when the war is over.

137
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: Gas prices will plunge, stock market will go nuts. One

138
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: reason that does that is it is an overreaction machine.

139
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: It'll go too low on the bad news, and then

140
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: when the good news comes, it'll go way too high

141
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: and then level off at some point. NATO. He brought

142
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: up NATO and he is threatening to pull out a

143
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: NATO and some people think, well, that's crazy, will not

144
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: so crazy anymore. The idea NATO is that we're a

145
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: member and that it would somehow help us in the

146
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: worst crisis. And here we are in a crisis and

147
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: they're doing absolutely nothing for us. We're not allowed to

148
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: use the base in Italy for this. Well, that's why

149
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: we have a base in Italy for something like this.

150
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: And then when it came out that Iran we didn't

151
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: never knew this has missiles and go two thousand miles

152
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: and hit Italy. That's all the more recent. You should

153
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: open up that base, let us use it. Well, you

154
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: still can't use it, can't use the airspace of this country.

155
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: They won't send any troops. So what's the point. What's

156
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: the point? NATO is pretty useless. Look at the Russia

157
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: invades Ukraine. I mean, look at that. NATO totally useless

158
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: in that case, nothing they could do to help. So

159
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: the president will threaten to pull out unless they do something,

160
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: unless they become more cooperative, more favorable to the US.

161
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: Here's Marco Rubio.

162
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: When we need them to allow us to use their

163
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: military basis, their answer is no. Then why are we

164
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: in NATO? You have to ask that question. Why do

165
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: we have billions and billions of dollars, hundreds of billions

166
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: of dollars over the year's trillions of dollars, and all

167
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: these American forces stationed in the recas. If we can

168
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 3: only use we can we in our time of need,

169
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 3: we're not going to be allowed to use those bases.

170
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: The good point. I mean, if you joined the club,

171
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: a private club or something, but you're not allowed in,

172
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: you can't come, you can't do anything, you'd leave. Why

173
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: would you even stay? Pam Bondi Attorney General president behind

174
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 2: closed doors talking to people about getting rid of Pam

175
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: Bondy and replacing her with Lee Zelden as the new

176
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: attorney general. Now let me just point out, having observed

177
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: Donald Trump closely for decades, sometimes he'll start talking about

178
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: something and they'll talk to everybody behind the scenes. He'll

179
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: run it by everybody, and it looks like, wow, look

180
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: at that, that's what they're going to do. But you know,

181
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 2: come back in two weeks it might have changed. He

182
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: does throw out stuff, give it a little time. Then

183
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: he might switch to something else, or he might just

184
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: drop it entirely, or after throwing it out and seeing

185
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: what the reaction is for a week or two, he

186
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: might she do it. So we don't know, but he

187
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: has been talking behind closed doors about getting rid of

188
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: Pam Bondy replacing her with Lee Zelden. Lee Zelden, who's

189
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: the EPA director, has become a real star behind the scenes.

190
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: They love him in the administration. He's done a great

191
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: job and they're really really proud of him. So if

192
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: not the attorney General, he will move up into a

193
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: much more prominent role at some point. But keep an

194
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: eye on that. Pam Bondy, they are well, he's not

195
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: happy with the way she handled the Epstein files. She

196
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 2: did nothing wrong, it's just the way she did it

197
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: made it all look wrong. You know, they're on my desk.

198
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: They'll be released. Well they weren't, really, it's just too

199
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: much bungling. Her optics were terrible. It looked like she

200
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: was covering something up. There really was nothing to cover

201
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: up that would harm President Trump. So keep an eye

202
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: on that. Also, keep an eye on Telsey Gabbard. They're

203
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 2: not too thrilled with her. But now, what would happen

204
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: if he removed Pam Bondy and put in Lee Zelden.

205
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: He would probably need Senate conformation. He's already confirmed as

206
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: EPA director, but Attorney general it's a different Congressional committee.

207
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: They'd probably have to probably have to confirm him. And

208
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: you know, these people in Congress, they're going to hold

209
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: it up forever. They're going to try to block it.

210
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: They're going to give him a hard time. It won't

211
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: be easy to get him confirmed. But that's okay because

212
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: the Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, Trump is very very

213
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: happy with him, and he'd be acting Attorney General until

214
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: the confirmation. So if they couldn't get Zelden confirmed right away,

215
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: they'd be very happy having Todd blanche in there for

216
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: a long time. So that's possible that that could happen.

217
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: It looks like they're going to settle the shutdown. They've agreed,

218
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: the Democrats, the Republicans. They've come up with a solution

219
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: where they'll fund homeland security but make Ice something separate.

220
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: It's a simple solution. It settles the shutdown. Everything goes

221
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: back to normal. TSA agents now get paid, they'll get

222
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: all their back pay, they can come back to work.

223
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: It looks great ho therever, If you look at it,

224
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: if you're a normal, reasonable person, not a Washington swamp creature,

225
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 2: you look at this, you know what, anut you could

226
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: have done this the first minute. Why didn't you just

227
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: do this the first second? Exactly? They could have It's

228
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: Democrats and Republicans to blame. They could have done this immediately.

229
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: It's a simple logical answer. They could have done this

230
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: the first day. But they put everybody through hell with

231
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: this for no reason at all, absolutely ridiculous. So they'll

232
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: go back to work. One of the things that helped

233
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: was Ice, the President sending ice into the airports. It

234
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: was brilliant because with the TSA calling in sick and

235
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: the four hour lines in total chaos and people going crazy,

236
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: it gave the Democrats a lot of leverage. But when

237
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: the President sent icy and they did a great job

238
00:12:55,559 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: straightening everything out, took away the leverage that Democrats, so

239
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: they kind of caved in on all this. Hey, our

240
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: friend Charlemagne across the hall over there on the air

241
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: this morning, said he had a fly. He went to

242
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: La Guardia over the week, he flew somewhere and he

243
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: said he was shocked. The ice agents were great. They

244
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: were running everything, and he couldn't believe how wonderful the

245
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: ice agents were. They were friendly, they were handing out water,

246
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: they were helping everybody. He said, it was absolutely amazing,

247
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: very impressed with them. He said, maybe that was the point,

248
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: some sort of syop, you know, operation to improve the

249
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: image of Ice. No, actually ice has always been that way.

250
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: These ICE agents are great people, great law enforcement public servants.

251
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 2: They're wonderful. They're great to everybody, except when you try

252
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: to run them over with your car. They're all great,

253
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: they're fine, they're great. The way they handle themselves. Now,

254
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: if you've gotten an suv and aimed it right at them,

255
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: they might get different. But that's anybody and everybody. So

256
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 2: people didn't understand that. You've seen the ice age. Why

257
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: did they Why would they so brutal? Well, they're not.

258
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: It's only when people are trying to kill them, hit them,

259
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: run them over, that's when they That's that's when they

260
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: get nasty. Hey, speaking to airports, you know when you

261
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: see those air traffic controllers and those towers as wow,

262
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: that's such a sophisticated in the communications equipment they have

263
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: in these planes. And then you see when they have

264
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: an accident. How stupid this stuff is? That truck, the

265
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: fire truck. You know yet you're cleared across the runway.

266
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: You just told the plane to land two seconds ago,

267
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: and they hit each This is unbelievable, stupid little mistakes. Now,

268
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: here's a plane landing at LaGuardia contacts the tower. What

269
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: runway they use? This runway? Okay, that run well, it

270
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense. It turns out he's landing at LaGuardia.

271
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: He contacts the wrong airport. He's talking to the tower

272
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: at Kennedy. You realize what a disaster this could have

273
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: been listened to this exchange final for a sure.

274
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: If it's just a La Guardia, this is Kennedy tower,

275
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: please go to La Guardia's hours. Sorry, that's crazy.

276
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: You notice they all sound young. You know, remember years

277
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: ago you got in the plane. Pilot was always the

278
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: old guy with white hair. He was a Chuck Jeger looking,

279
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: a veteran that looked like he flew a million years

280
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: and a million plus Sully Sullenberger looking guy. Now you

281
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: see them, they look like they're twelve years old. They

282
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: look like they've been flying six months. So it's a

283
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: hell of a mistake to make contact. The wrong airport,

284
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: the wrong tower. They give you the runway number, it

285
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: doesn't exist. You realize you got the wrong airport. I mean,

286
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: this kind of stuff didn't used to happen like this. Anyway,

287
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. In a minute. Eight hundred three

288
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: to two one zero seven ten is the number eight

289
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten
