1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: Back to Martimon.

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 2: I r.

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: Well, Michael Goodwin the best columnist in America. You can

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: read them every Sunday and every Wednesday in the New

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: York Post. All his columns are up on the New

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: York Post website. You should go take a look at them.

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: Michael Goodwin, how you doing.

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark? Thank you.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: There was no column yesterday. You ruined my Sunday. I

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: know it was a holiday, was.

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: East I was gonna say almost every Sunday and almost

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: every day.

13
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: So what do you think the left going absolutely nuts

14
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: trying to convince us we're losing everything in Iran. It

15
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: looks like it's going pretty well to me when you agree, yes.

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: You know, Mark, I was just the pictures of their

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: downed American aircraft in this incident, and of course the

18
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: rescue is unbelievable story, but the picture of the down

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: the aircraft. The first thing that went to mind was

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter's attempt to rescue the hostages, and of course

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: the disaster of that effort, and it really, as Carter

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: said later, it probably cost him the election because the

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: hostages were held for something like four hundred and forty

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: four days until Ronald Reagan was elected, and it struck

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: me that that failed effort, bungled effort by Jimmy Carter,

26
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: in some ways became emblematic of this presidency. And if

27
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, if this incident becomes emblematic of his presidency,

28
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: then I think he's at a whole different course right

29
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: looking at history, and that this is a good omen

30
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: about this war, as I hope it is. That Donald

31
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: Trump will have pulled off quite a miracle there.

32
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Well, normal people say, wow, this was unbelievable, this rescue.

33
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: But if you're watching television or reading the New York Times,

34
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: all you keep hearing about is, well, it proves Iran

35
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: is still strong. They were shot down two of our helicopters.

36
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: Obviously they still have plenty of offensive capability. So what

37
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: do you do about that media spin? How do you

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: fight that?

39
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: There isn't much you can do if you're the lighthouse

40
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: at this point. I mean, they look, they hate Trump,

41
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: everything about Trump. You know, we were in a quagmire

42
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: in the third day. You know, they were on more.

43
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it was Stantnamo over before we even began.

44
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: But look, I think if Trump try for kind of

45
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: shadow box, which he offer, does against that media I

46
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: think it'll only kind of they'll dig in their heels

47
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: and he'll get more and more frustrated. I think what

48
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: he needs needs to be able to do as much

49
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: as possible ignore them and let his record speak for

50
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: itself to the American people. There are still enough media

51
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: organizations that will cover the actual events instead of the

52
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: anxiety and personal opinion of the reporters. But I think

53
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: if Trump gets deeply involved in fighting this media war,

54
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: it's only going to be to his own detriment because

55
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: they're never going to admit that he's right about anything.

56
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Well, of course you're right, but have you ever said

57
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump just ignore the Chris.

58
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: Either. Look, I think on a human side, we will

59
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: all face the same temptation. But I think it if

60
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: he wants to go down as a successful president, thick

61
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: only in this context of Iran that we're talking about,

62
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: then I think he's going to have to focus more

63
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: and more on the accomplishments and let the record show

64
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: that if you have the thinged one of the nuclear

65
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: Islamist power, then you're on the right course to doing that.

66
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're talking Michael Goodwin, the greatest calumnist in America,

67
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: and then President Trump but tweets out open the F

68
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 1: and straight he uses the F word. It will blow

69
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: you into the stone. You're not supposed to talk like

70
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: that when you're a president. You're not supposed to ever

71
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: use that kind of language as a professional government. But

72
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: Trump does it all the time. When will people finally

73
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: get used to it and stop going crazy over it?

74
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think they there's some kind of imaginary way

75
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: a president is supposed to conduct himself publicly. But this

76
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: is not a standard that they held Joe Biden too

77
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: right in terms of he couldn't remember anything, he couldn't

78
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: answer questions his son's corruption. That was that these issues

79
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: were kind of glossed over because Joe Biden didn't attack

80
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: the media. So it's really a personal fight that the

81
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: New York Times, the Washington Post, many other elements are

82
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 2: having with Donald Trump. It's not about their job. There's

83
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: journalists so much as it is personal.

84
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, Michael Goodwin, mayor Mom, Donny. It's just about

85
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: one hundred days now. Hard to believe, but this is

86
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: his first hundred days. What do you think he said?

87
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: As crazy as he is, the good news is he

88
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to actually get anything done. So I guess

89
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: that's good.

90
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does seem longer than one hundred days, isn't it?

91
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: Some like forever? Look, I think mark the thing that's

92
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: coming up. It's coming like a freight train. Is this

93
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: issue of the budget and whether the city standing among

94
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: investors declines and therefore has to pay even more higher

95
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: interest rates to borrow money. And so this downgrade of

96
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: the credit watch from stable to negative by three bond

97
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: rating agencies is a real bread alert for him if

98
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: he really wants to kind of keep any kind of

99
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: public confidence. But if you think back to the city

100
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: fiscal crisis of the seventies, you really remember how that

101
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: lack of confidence in the York fed on itself, people

102
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: that businesses leaving the city. You don't want because financial

103
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: crisis can have can foster all kinds of other crisis,

104
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: crime crisis, for example. So Mandani needs to take this

105
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: seriously down.

106
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned if you we had Andrew Cuomo as

107
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 1: a governor, he was so far to the left, no bail,

108
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: no jail, close the prisoners, wouldn't he He would have

109
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: been awful as a mayor.

110
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: I think probably, Yeah, we'll never know, Right, he's smitties.

111
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any political career for Andrew Como.

112
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: But I voted for him because not because I had

113
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: great love for his record, but because I think he

114
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: would have been better than Mamdani on fundamentals like this. Yeah.

115
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: Uh well yeah, people say he'd be better with the police.

116
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: But again, he's the guy that gave us no bail,

117
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: no jail. He's the guy that threw Ice out of

118
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: New York. He was no better. In fact, he might

119
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: have been worse than that. He actually was brave enough

120
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: to actually try to get stuff done. But so we

121
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: missed the call. We went to get a column on Wednesday, right,

122
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: Oh yes, oh good, it's not Sunday without your column.

123
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: But Michael Goodwin, great stuff. Thanks for being with us,

124
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: my pleasure. Thank you, Mark, take care. Uh hey, just

125
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: so you know, let me just check again.

126
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: Uh.

127
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: Stock market up, yep, the Dow is up. You know,

128
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: if you were watching all the Sunday shows, uh, they

129
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: had you convinced that the president's tweeting about using the

130
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: F word, the President saying we're going to blow her

131
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: in into the stone age. Why, this is the end

132
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: of the world. This is when the US we actually

133
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: heard this all over these Sunday shows and Oliver Morning

134
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: Joe type shows today. The US will never recover from

135
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: that tweet. Our standing in the world will be dementu

136
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so. The stock

137
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: market actually up today.

138
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: Now.

139
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: One reason it's up. The other thing, if you're watching

140
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: all that left wing media, they'll convince you that the

141
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: economy is in so much trouble the economy is to say, well, actually,

142
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: the economy is doing just fine. The job numbers. Remember

143
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: the market was closed on Friday, so today they're reacting

144
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: to the Friday numbers that came out. The job numbers

145
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: were spectacular, not just better than expected, but way better

146
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: than expected. I mean stunningly better than expected. Corporate profits,

147
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: which I know liberals hate that, but that's really what

148
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: fuels the market. Corporate profits are doing very well. The

149
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: stock market is up as a result, market doing great. Hey, yeah,
