Speaker 1: Yeah, this is Mark Simon Show on sevent ten.

Speaker 2: day to day. You got opening day Yankee Stadium. Weather

Speaker 2: will be fine. Doesn't look so great right now, but

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: the cloudiness, the drizzle go away, some will come out.

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: It'll be a great opening day to day. We'll get

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: to Pam Bondy and exactly what happened there. We'll get

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: to President Trump, no Kings, We'll get to NATO, we'll

00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: get to Iran, we'll get to sixty minutes. Looks like

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a massacre there coming. And we'll get

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: to Tiger Woods and a whole lot more coming up.

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: The job numbers came out this morning. You won't hear

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: about it very much because they were great. They were

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: not just great, they were spectacular. Do you remember there was

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: a month not long ago where the job numbers were

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: below what was expected. It was the lead story everywhere

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: every network news cast, New York Times, it was lead story.

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: Job numbers were lower than expected. Well, we've more than

19
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: made up for that. The job numbers were expected to

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: be sixty thousand. It was one hundred and seventy eight. Thousand.

21
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: It was fabulous job numbers, way above what was expected.

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: We're now at full employment four point three percent. So

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: you won't hear about this. It will not be the

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: lead story on the NBC Nightly News. As we told

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: you back then. I remember when the job numbers are

26
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: a little low, lead story on the nightly news, main story, everywhere,

27
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: lead story. Now you will not hear about this anywhere

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: all day long. You'll just keep it very quiet. So

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: we're learning more about Pam Bondy. She's out. Who's going

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: to replace her? Well, it'll be Todd blanche the acting

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: Attorney General. And actually, for the last few months he's

32
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: really been running things. He's really been the guy running things.

33
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: So nothing much will change over there. There's been a

34
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: lot of talk of Leezelden. He's become very, very very

35
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: well regarded in the inner circle of the Trump White House.

36
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: So it could be Lee Zelden. You can be sure.

37
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: Janine Piro is on the phone constantly calling. There are

38
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: people pushing for her. There are people. Now you're going

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 2: to hear some senator's names, Eric Schmidt, you've heard the

40
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: name's Mike Lee, a couple of other senators. There a

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: lot of people are saying that should be the pick.

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 3: Now.

43
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: The reason for that there's people in the Senate that

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 2: the Senate would like to get rid of. You just

45
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: want to get him out of the Senate, so they're

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: pushing those names. Don't take that very seriously. There's Elena Habba,

47
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: but you know the problem is she's a little too

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: Pam Bondi ish. Now, there were problems with Pam Bondi

49
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: running things. The list is at the top of the

50
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: list Epstein Files disaster. She made a total mess out

51
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: of that, just a complete mess out of the Epstein files.

52
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: Nobody can figure out why it all started with this

53
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: supposed client list. Now, Epstein never had any kind of

54
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: a sex business. There were no clients for any sex

55
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: nothing like that. Epstein there were always a lot of

56
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: women around, and if you were one of his friends

57
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: and he came to his parties or his house, he

58
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: always had plenty of women to introduce you to. They

59
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: were older women, they were in their twenties, thirties, forties, fifties.

60
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: There were some underage women, but that's what Epstein personally liked.

61
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: He liked these underage women. And maybe a friend or

62
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: two of his a lot of people think Prince Andrew,

63
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: But that was just a private thing. It had nothing

64
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: to do with clients. There was no lists. So it's

65
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: one thing for the public or you know, some fringe

66
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: groups online to start rumoring about a client list a

67
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: client list. But when you're in the Attorney General of

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: the United States, you should know what the hell you're

69
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: talking about. And she had the files that Biden Justice

70
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: Department had the files for four years. They went through it,

71
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: they read those files a million times. There was nothing

72
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: in their Trump there was nothing in there about a

73
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: client list. She should have known that. Yet way back

74
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: then she made things one hundred times worse by shooting

75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: her mouth off claiming there was a client list.

76
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients.

77
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: Well, that really happened.

78
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 5: It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's

79
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 5: been a directive by President Trump. I'm reviewing that. I'm

80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 5: reviewing JFKs MLK files. That's all in the process of

81
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 5: being reviewed because that was done at the directive of

82
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: the president from all of these agencies.

83
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 4: So have you seen anything there? You said, Oh, my gosh,

84
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: not yet. Okay, well, we'll check back with you.

85
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. That's one of the main reasons she's being fired.

86
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: There's no such thing as a client list for her

87
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: to say it was sitting on her desk. Obviously she

88
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: didn't know what the hell she was talking about, which

89
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: is fine, but don't shoot your mouth off on television.

90
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: And if you hadn't reviewed anything, don't be talking about

91
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: it on TV. So that's one reason. The other reason

92
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: is the failed prosecutions. Trump thought there was a pretty

93
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: good case against Letitia James, so did all most of

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: our great legal scholars and James call me. Those things

95
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: went nowhere. You could say, well, it's not her fault.

96
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: The grand jury wouldn't indict. But it's all about what

97
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: you present, and it's all about what you come up with.

98
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: There was plenty of stuff on Letitia James and call

99
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: me and all this. But so that's another reason. So

100
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: there were a lot of reasons, and she just had

101
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: to go. And she sort of knew that a few

102
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: couple months ago that she knew they weren't happy with her,

103
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: and she did a lot of stuff to try to

104
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: appease the president and win him back, and she thought

105
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 2: maybe she had succeeded at that, but the President on

106
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: Monday started talking to people about getting rid of her.

107
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: And then you know, they went to the Supreme Court

108
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: to sit in on the oral arguments. The President went

109
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: there and Pam Bondi went with him, and they rode

110
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: together and the limo it's a two mile ride, it's

111
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: not that long a ride, short ride, but they rode

112
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court and then sat in the here

113
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: and then came back. Now, apparently he told her, apparently

114
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: he fired her during the Lemo ride going there. You

115
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: think you'd wait till you were leaving her, not while

116
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: you're sitting in the car. And if you ever seen

117
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: that the Beast, the Presidential Lemo, you know, when you're

118
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: inside that thing, it's really tight in there. There's no

119
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: space in there because the reason the Beast is bulletproof

120
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 2: and bomb proof. The walls, the windows, the doors are

121
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: like a foot thick. They're so thick on both sides

122
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: that they take away like two feet of the interior.

123
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 2: So you're really crammed together in there. And he told

124
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: her his exact words, I think it's time, told her

125
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: she was out. They went to the Supreme Court, they

126
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: sat through the oral arguments. Apparently on the way out

127
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: after the A couple hours later, after the oral argument,

128
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: she asked him could she just stay till the summer.

129
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 2: Could she leave in the summer. She just wanted a

130
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: couple more months, and he said, no, you can't do that.

131
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: She had to go right away. She'll stay another couple weeks.

132
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: Need her for transitional stuff. The other thing is they've

133
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: told her they will get her a very very good

134
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: job in the private sector in Florida, very high paying

135
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: job at a law firm. She'll make herself a lot

136
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: of money. I'm make sure that happens.

137
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 6: Now.

138
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: Who's going to replace her? Well, names are being floated.

139
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: People are pushing for Ron DeSantis. He'd probably be good

140
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: at that because in real life he's a vicious guy

141
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: behind the scenes. Great governor, done a phenomenal job as

142
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: governor of Florida, probably the best governor in America, but

143
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: behind the scenes, a nasty, vicious guy. So people are

144
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: pushing him, but he will not get it because two reasons.

145
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: Trump knows that he's a vicious guy in real life,

146
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: and everybody's ever worked with him or known him will

147
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: be calling Trump saying, don't give him the job. I

148
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: know some people don't like to hear this because he's

149
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: such a great governor, but behind the scenes he is

150
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: so vicious, so rude, so nasty to everybody he encounters privately,

151
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: that everybody will rush to stop that. And the other

152
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: reason Trump won't appoint him. He needs him to be

153
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: governor of Florida because Trump does a lot of stuff

154
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: in Florida, from mar A Lago to all of his price.

155
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of property in Florida that he

156
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: needs a governor that's going to help him out. So

157
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: he will not remove him as governor. But the other

158
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: thing is he likes Todd Blanche, and Todd Blanche has

159
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: been running things for the last couple of months. Very

160
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: happy with Todd Blanch Blanche. So there may be no hurry.

161
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: There may be no hurry. And whoever you appoints going

162
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: to need confirmation, and those Democrats in Congress will hold

163
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: it up forever and ever, and that could take forever,

164
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: but that's fine. He's happy Todd Blanche is acting Attorney

165
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: General and he could stay that way. He'll be happy

166
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: to keep it that way for a long time. In

167
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 2: the middle of about eleven days, I think it's April fourteenth,

168
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: supposed to be a hearing Congressional Committee and Pam Bondi

169
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: scheduled to testify on her handling of the Epstein files.

170
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: So the Justice Department is saying, well, she's out, so

171
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: let's have Todd Blanche come testify. The Congressional Committee saying

172
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 2: absolutely not. It's Epstein's Bondie that we want to talk

173
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: about the Epstein files, which it's got to be her,

174
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: so she'll still have to do that hearing. But once

175
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: you're out, it's really kind of a meaningless so I

176
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: don't think anything will happen in that hearing. Hey, the

177
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: No King's Rally. These crazy Democrats now protesting things that

178
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 2: don't even exist, protesting things in their imagination. But the

179
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: No King's Rally. President Trump was asked about it. Did

180
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: they call me king?

181
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 6: Now?

182
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: Do you believe it?

183
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 6: No King?

184
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 7: I'm such a king. I can't get a ball room approved.

185
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 7: It's pretty amazing. I'm a king. If I was a king,

186
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 7: we'd be doing a lot more. I'm doing a lot,

187
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 7: but I could be doing a lot more if.

188
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: I was a king.

189
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 2: It's pretty good. Iran. Here's the latest we took out

190
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: their most important, finest, the most expensive, brand new bridge

191
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: they built. Yesterday we took out it's the tallest bridge

192
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 2: in Iran. It's a very important structure. It connects to

193
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: Tehran and Karaj. It was blown to bits, very very

194
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: very key infrastructure figure of Iran. We blew it up

195
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 2: and demolished it. Now this war has come down to

196
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: just one thing, will the will of the Iranians to resist,

197
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: and they believe we don't have the will to keep

198
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: going and finish the job. So that's their strategy that

199
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: we just don't have the will to finish this, that

200
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: will give up and go away at some point. And

201
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 2: you got to admire the crazy nut job Iranian leaders,

202
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: the will they have. They'll just let the whole place

203
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: get blown up. So we're going to escalate slowly. We've

204
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: been a massive amount of bombing rains, quantity has been there,

205
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: so now they'll go for quality. They'll start taking out

206
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: more each day, more and more and more important infrastructure.

207
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: Hopefully that'll break the will of the Iranians. But this

208
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: is going to get to a point where there's just

209
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: not much left to go after and we'll see that.

210
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear all the left wing fake news crowds say, well,

211
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: there's no way to finish it without ground troops. Well,

212
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: actually there is. You could. You can finish a war

213
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: without ground troops. Take a look at Japan World War two.

214
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: We were able to finish that and get a surrender

215
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: without sending in any ground troops. It's been done many,

216
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: many times NATO. There are some people wondering about these

217
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: NATO countries and these NATO leaders. It's as if they're

218
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: trying to get the US to pull out. I mean,

219
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 2: they have done things that there's absolutely preposterous. And NATO

220
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: partner's supposed to help you when you need help join

221
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: the fight. Well not only didn't they do that, but

222
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: even the most bare minimum things like let us use

223
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: the air base in Italy, no, let us use your

224
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: airspace no. So even the most untiniest, little bare minimum

225
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: things NATO has refused. So it's if as if they're

226
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: trying to get us to leave. And you've seen in

227
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: the Iaran battle, Israel right there side by side with

228
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: US and Saudi Arabia right there side by side with us.

229
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: We're getting help from Kuwait, We're getting help from Cutter,

230
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: nothing from NATO, not even bare minimum, little tiny things,

231
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: nothing from NATO. So it's kind of a no brainer

232
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: then just to pull out of NATO. Here's Marco Rubio.

233
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 8: When we need them to allow us to use their

234
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 8: military bases, their answer is no. Then why are we

235
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 8: in NATO? You have to ask that question, why do

236
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 8: we have billions and billions of dollars, hundreds of billions

237
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 8: of dollars over the years, trillions of dollars and all

238
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 8: these American forces stationed in the region. If we can

239
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 8: only use we can we in our time of need.

240
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 8: We're not going to be allowed to use those bases.

241
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 8: So I think there's no doubt. Unfortunately, after this conflict

242
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 8: is concluded, we are going to have to re examine

243
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 8: that relationship. We're going to have to re examine the

244
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 8: value of NATO and that alliance for our country.

245
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

246
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: I mean, if we're spending all first of all, the

247
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 2: financing of NATO, it's all us. It's mostly US financing it. Troops,

248
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: ground troops, you know, left wing claims I don't want

249
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: any ground troops. We've got ground troops all over Europe

250
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: and we can't count on NATO even for the tiniest

251
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: little thing. Probably is time to get out. Hey, here's

252
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 2: some good news. You know. Barry Weiss is taken over

253
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: at CBS and trying to clean it up, trying to

254
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: get it back somewhere towards the middle instead of far

255
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: left partisan. And word is she's going to shake up

256
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: sixty minutes, reshuffle producers, all this stuff, and the top

257
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: talent should get rid of these people. You got Leslie

258
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: Stall she's eighty four. Wow, Bill Whittaker, seventy four. Scott Pelley,

259
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: who's the nastiest guy on the air, a nice guy

260
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: in real life, but on the air, vicious, nasty, over

261
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: the top, crazy partisan. Do you remember that commencement address

262
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: he made? It was a commencement speech where he went

263
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: over the top anti Trump partisan. It's totally inappropriate for

264
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: a college commencement speech, but also extremely inappropriate for somebody

265
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: who's supposed to be a neutral, unbiased news anchor. So

266
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: just for that speech, they should throw him the hell

267
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: out of there. But she says she wants to make

268
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: the show a tougher, harder hitting, investigative reporting, breaking news,

269
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. It's a good idea. It's also cheaper,

270
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: you know, the old sixty minutes where they do these

271
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: amazing stories. You know, they'd send to Mike Wallace to

272
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: Tibet to talk with the dolly somebody with a lama.

273
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: I mean that costs a fortune. You got to send

274
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: the whole crew for a month to Tibet. Then they'd

275
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: do another story on somebody in England. They'd send the

276
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: whole crew Toland. Cost a fortune to do that show.

277
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: But back then, sixty minutes with the number one biggest

278
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: show in television with fifty sixty seventy five million viewers

279
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: in a week, you could have spent that kind of money.

280
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: Now it's like two million, one million is hardly anybody watching.

281
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: You can't afford to tell those kind of story. So

282
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: breaking News, just sit there at the anchor desk and

283
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: just read it. It's a much much cheaper idea. Hey,

284
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one

285
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two

286
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten.

287
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 7: Set up pre sat on the iHeartRadio app to doubor

288
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 7: to hear Mark live.

289
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 9: Set another for Mark's podcast to hear him anytime.

290
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: Now back to Mark.

291
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 7: Zimone on do woory.

292
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: Let's fix them calls. Eight hundred three two one zero

293
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: seven ten is the number eight hundred three two one

294
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: zero seven to ten. Let's go to John and paramus. John,

295
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: how you doing good?

296
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: Listen? You know I've been a Springsteen fan from day one.

297
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: I've seen him many at times, loved his music and

298
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: everything else. But now, after reading the review yesterday in

299
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: the Times, you couldn't pay me to go see him.

300
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: He has really lost his way. Half the half of

301
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: the concert, he talks.

302
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: Well in his defense, in his defense, not just him,

303
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: but when you're one of these big superstar gods of

304
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: music seventies into the eighties, by the time it's thirty

305
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: years later, you can't get hit records anymore. You're totally irrelevant.

306
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: All you are is you can do concerts. That's all

307
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: you can do. You'll be the elder statesman doing the concerts.

308
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: But they can't. They all try to get back in

309
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: the game with a hit record or try to latch

310
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: onto something. Why were you a Springsteen fan back then?

311
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: What was it about this way?

312
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: Because I was younger fifty years I was. I'm from Jersey,

313
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: of s fifty years ago.

314
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 3: I loved him.

315
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: He was great. I loved his music, old rock and

316
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: rolling but god, I mean, he goes on and if

317
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: you read the review, I told my wife, my wife

318
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: is going with her girlfriend. I wouldn't go. She's going

319
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: in April. Yeah, I said. Now, I'm definitely convinced I

320
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't go. I wouldn't, couldn't.

321
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: But even back then he was great musically. But those

322
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: songs Born to Run, jungle Land, yelling and screaming. What

323
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: the hell was he actually singing about? I still don't know.

324
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just the way I was. It

325
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: was just my generation. I guess that's all right.

326
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: But what was he singing about?

327
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: Well, you have car I have cars and and girls

328
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: and working hard and work, you know, trying to get ahead.

329
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: Listen to the Beatles, I want to hold your hand.

330
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: I can understand that song, Michelle my belt, I understand that.

331
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 2: But down in jungle Land, what was he singing? What

332
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: that was that all about?

333
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 6: That?

334
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: Well, you know, the struggle, life's struggle, and he never

335
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: really he struggled a little bit, and then he hasn't

336
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: struggled in forty five years.

337
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, what life's struggle. I don't know this. I mean,

338
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: all Rightssue. A lot of people love Springsteen back then

339
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 2: I never quite got it.

340
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: But I tell you a lot of people I know

341
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: are really not happy with him at all. A lot

342
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: of people I feel the same way about I am

343
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: about the way he used to be.

344
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 2: That come, there's that old expression. There's no fool like

345
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: an old fool. The booster boy for it. Yeah, that's

346
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 2: the other thing, you know. I guess when he started

347
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: and he wore those you know, those T shirts and

348
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: what's that stuff around his wrist, those wristbands and the

349
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: motorcycle boots and the jeans, and he was but back

350
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: then he was twenty five riding the motorcycle. He's now

351
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: an eighty year old multi multi multi millionaire. You don't

352
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: need to wear all that stuff, you know. He actually

353
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 2: he's about to jump on a motorcycle any moment, and

354
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: he need like an orthopedic seat on the motorcycle nowadays.

355
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich How you doing?

356
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 6: Hey?

357
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: Thanks Mark? You know, he brought up a good point.

358
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: He were Bruce Springsteen. They're using a Bruce Springsteen song

359
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: Born in the USA for the ACLU commercials. I'm singing

360
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,480

Speaker 1: citizenship and has shown all these immigrants who were born

362
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: in the USA playing his lousy music. And another band

363
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: that used to preach to everybody. I quit going to

364
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: see Corsy still Snash thirty years ago because all they

365
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: did was preaching, lecture you on being a lunatic and

366
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: stuff like that.

367
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: Okay, that they were like Woodstock type hippies back then,

368
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 2: they're supposed to do that. But it's now twenty twenty six.

369
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: And Bruce Springsteen, I mean, be honest, did you've listen

370
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 2: to all those music? Right?

371
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 6: Well?

372
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: Can you understand half the things he's singing?

373
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 6: No?

374
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: I never got Bruce Springsteen. I never got Dave Matthews either.

375
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 9: You know.

376
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: I came from the Beatles generation, the Motown, I mean,

377
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: the sixties, seventies, early eighties was great music. And then

378
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: you know the old time country. This new country is brutal.

379
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: Tou that's no good? Yeah, but I know exactly. Here's

380
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: one remember this, Marcus Sopranos, when Chris's girlfriend Adriana has

381
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: her old high school boyfriend with his band and in

Speaker 2: He looks even older now.

401
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:52,840

00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 10: I had a quick sixty minute story when I worked

Speaker 1: Yeah.

412
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 10: You'd see those guys doddling around the studio every once

413
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 10: in a while. It would be like Loyalty walking by.

414
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 10: You know, everybody would be in hushed tones as they

415
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 10: walked by.

416
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I love Mike Wallace was a great friend,

417
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: and he was one of our most a little crusty,

418
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: but yeah, all right, thanks for calling you. Mike Wallace.

419
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 2: He was one of our most regular guests on this

420
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: show for a million years. We used to have Andy

421
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 2: Rooney on all the time, although he couldn't stand me.

422
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't exactly why, but he'd always

423
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: yell at me.

424
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 6: Uh.

425
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 2: And then Memory refused to come on the air for

426
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 2: a while, and then Mike Wallace convinced that he had

427
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 2: to come back on the air, and every timmy commanding him,

428
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 2: ohly here because Mike Wallace is, ma could we do this?

429
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 2: But they were great, I mean they were like legends. Now,

430
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: who's the guy? You don't even know who these people

431
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 2: are anymore, but gota remember back then it was the

432
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: number one show in television. It's like sixty five million

433
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 2: people watching it, and you could afford to send a crew,

434
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: you know, to Antarctica to do a story. If you

435
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 2: watch it now, you can see they've been cutbacks. It's

436
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 2: this tiny audience. So if they're doing a story, it's

437
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: about something in Nayak where the crew can drive up

438
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 2: there for an hour and come right back. They don't

439
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: have to spend money on planes, hotels or any of that.

440
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 2: Let's go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing?

441
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 6: Hi?

00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: That's okay, that's okay, that's that.

451
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 6: Delight.

452
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: Jim Beams got your throat. Yeah, go ahead, I said,

453
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: that's great.

454
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 9: What he was drinking Jack Daniels, not me?

455
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. He was a Jack Daniels type.

456
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 9: And anyway, he had two families, which was weird.

457
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: That's right, I forgot about that. Turned out he was

458
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 2: a bigger mister. He used to do that feature called

459
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: on the Road where he'd go out on the road

460
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: and talk to Meantime, this guy had more activity on

461
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 2: the road. He would do stories about interesting people on

462
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: the road. She should have been doing a story about himself.

463
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 2: And what all the action this guy had going on?

464
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 9: Absolutely, I mean it was. It was one of the

465
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 9: funniest guys in the world. He could drink a bottle

466
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 9: of Jack Daniels and give a word perfect speech in

467
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 9: front of gymnasiums full of you know, an audience, and

468
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 9: it was just it was a miracle.

469
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't figure it out.

470
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we can see where you got your training.

471
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: Although his tolerance, Yeah, thank.

Speaker 1: You, thank you for bringing that out.

473
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 9: But the other thing that which is interesting, which I

474
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 9: was and I wanted to ask you, I would agree

475
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 9: with Larry Menzies this morning, which is about you know,

476
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 9: we have to watch these polls. Uh huh they're going

477
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 9: on because we want to see where the Democrats are

478
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 9: spending their money.

479
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: All right, Well, you know, Bill, we got to go

Speaker 2: political analyst of all. What's going to happen in the midterms,

485
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,959

Speaker 12: The Mark Simone Show on seven.

491
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 3: Ten wr.

492
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk to the dean himself, Ed Rollins, the

493
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: greatest political analyst that he's been in a lot of

494
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: white houses, run a lot of campaigns, and he's with

495
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 2: us now. Ed Rollins, how you doing, good morning? How

496
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: are you very good? Hey? What do you think getting

497
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 2: rid of Pam BONDI probably a good idea, A bit

498
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: of a bumbler.

499
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 6: I think she obviously is too strident for the jobs.

500
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 6: She inlinated a lot of people and didn't do what

501
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 6: Trump wanted. The critical thing I think is the timing,

502
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 6: and I worry from a communications perspective, it's two hundred

503
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 6: and thirteen days to the election. I would not go

504
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 6: to another fight. I was the president of the President's team.

505
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 6: I just leave the number two.

506
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 3: Guy in there.

507
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 6: For as well as period as you can and straighten

508
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 6: things out as best you can. What you can't have

509
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 6: is every day taken away from your story. We're in

510
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 6: the middle of a war, and obviously the war has

511
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 6: gone all our side so far. But at the end

512
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 6: of the day, when you get into on battle, which

513
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 6: is what apparently the President wants to do or will do, Uh,

514
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 6: those are going to be fired back. We now have

515
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 6: We now have to uh two pot uts that are

516
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 6: down according to this morning's uh stories, and you know

517
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 6: what's gonna happen those guys. They're alive, but they're basically

518
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 6: going to be uh uh you know, I just think

519
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 6: it's important that the president speech here that night was

520
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 6: a disaster. He didn't didn't add anything to the to

521
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 6: the the dialogue. He could have done that speech anytime,

522
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 6: four weeks ago, four weeks from now, and it's just uh,

523
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 6: you know, we've got a week of which there is

524
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 6: sort of obviously a very important thing, the space program,

525
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 6: that we could be highlighting. Uh. It's Easter time, and

526
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 6: there's a lot of people that are aren't interested in

527
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 6: politics right now, and the critical thing I think is

528
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 6: to get get your message, to get your team, and

529
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 6: if you've got to change more people in the White House,

530
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 6: do it quick. Yeah, I mean, don't, don't drag it out.

531
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 2: Problem with that speech, he's not a good teleprompter reader,

532
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 2: and you know, with no audience, it's not him. And

533
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: how does something like that happen to be with people

534
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 2: push him to do that?

535
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 6: Well, no one had pushed this president. This president gets

536
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 6: to do what he wants to do. And you'ref to right.

537
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 6: When I worked for Ronald Reagan, you know, Ronald Reagan

538
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 6: got the sort of set, was a master speaker, could

539
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 6: read a teleprompter anywhere, but he took time to get

540
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 6: ready for it. The idea that you now have Pam

541
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 6: Bondy being fired at the same time, these are all

542
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 6: those tractions to the president. No matter how capable he

543
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 6: may be or not be, No one could basically take

544
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 6: all these pressures all at once. So I think I

545
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 6: think he was badly. You know, he could fire next week,

546
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 6: he could fire two leagues and now I no, won't care.

547
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, you've now you've

548
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 6: now stepped all over your stories. And I worry about

549
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 6: the communications. I worry about the Democrats, not not necessarily

550
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 6: getting the upper hand on communications. But they're going to

551
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 6: take the press that basically is not favorable to the

552
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 6: president right now and highlight these stories. And now now

553
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 6: today you have the budget which the president asked, what

554
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 6: an enormous amount of money for the Defense Department and

555
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 6: the end of the day, it may be necessary, but

556
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 6: he's gott to prove his case. She's not going to

557
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 6: get that money easily. So yeah, a lot of the

558
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 6: gendera a lot of agenda.

559
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you get a guy who's not a politician,

560
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 2: not a professional politician, he's a billionaire, he's from the

561
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 2: private sector. You worked for Ross Perot, They're gonna do

562
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: what they want. They're not going to ever follow the procedure,

563
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 2: are they.

564
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 6: Nope, I agree totally in Ross Baroi is a perfect example.

565
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 6: But uh, you know, Trump has had success though, and

566
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 6: I think the key things, you know, he has to

567
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 6: pick us, pick us battles carefully, especially the next two

568
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 6: in a days he loses, he's gonna he's gonna lose

569
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 6: the House. It may not be a be a massive loss,

570
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 6: but it's gonna be a loss. Uh, the senators now

571
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 6: in play. He loses those two things, those two entities.

572
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 6: The whole game chased the last two years. So he's

573
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 6: got to basically the next six months get what he

574
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 6: needs done, get an agenda out there, get a campaign

575
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 6: strategy that can can articulate what it is. Is the

576
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 6: last two years over about him.

577
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's many many, many many months away. And

578
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: you know he can old rabbits out of his hat.

579
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 2: He is pretty good at that, isn't.

580
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 6: He He's very He's very good at that. At the

581
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 6: end of the day, though, you want to be on

582
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 6: your agenda, not their agenda.

583
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, and the idea of firing a cabinet member,

584
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: you're gonna hear all day and all weekend on the

585
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: Sunday shows this and indicates total chaos in the administrative

586
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: It's not unusual to fire cabinet member, is it.

587
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 6: No, it's not. And certainly Trump had had a big

588
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 6: record of hiring people first term, and you know, you

589
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 6: remember back to cabin vers and fire forever. And at

590
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 6: the end of the day, what I would do is

591
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 6: just target is don't don't drag it out, don't don't

592
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 6: do uh one a week so you bet I change

593
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 6: and there are four or five people you're not satisfied,

594
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 6: get it done, do it sometimes next a couple of weeks,

595
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 6: and then basically the safest debts of all there the

596
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 6: picked senators or people with the senator will vote for quickly,

597
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 6: don't drive. Just as we've made the change with Beyond,

598
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 6: with the Homeland of Security, I got too quick. It's done.

599
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 6: We're moving forward. It's no longer an issue. This one's

600
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 6: going to be an issue. So I would just said,

601
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 6: holy acting the deputy there for as long as I could.

602
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 6: There's no there's no time restraint, and that that basically

603
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 6: go out and try and grab somebody right down, throw

604
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 6: them on the.

605
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talking with Ed Rollinson. Let's let's talk about

606
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: New York Bruce Blakeman. I think he'd be a great governor.

607
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: I think he's got a real shot at winning this

608
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: campaign finance board. It looks pretty corrupt that too many

609
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 2: Democrats are on the board. They've denied him funding. What

610
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: what what do you do about a thing like that?

611
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 6: You got to keep fighting. You got to basically get

612
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 6: out there and let people know. I think Blake would

613
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 6: be a great candidate. He's been a great county administrator.

614
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 6: Uh and at the end of the day. The race

615
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 6: is closer than people anticipated it being. We could win

616
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 6: this one. We're gonna do it right.

617
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, But she's got like twenty million in today's world,

618
00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: like in the old days, you'd spend it all into

619
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: TV commercials. What is he to do with the money now?

620
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: TV commercials don't mean much. What do you do with

621
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: the money now?

622
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 6: Well, you build a grassroots organization. You know. The key

623
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 6: thing here is is you've got to take the three

624
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 6: or four states, three or four counties that matter. Sure Westchester,

625
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 6: his county, Suffolk, some upstate and registered voters. Get sure

626
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 6: your voters are aligned to vote participating. But it's great

627
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 6: a grassroots Africa that you've got to do.

628
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what the real problem? We don't really

629
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: have as much of a Republican party in New York.

630
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: I mean the actual infrastructure apparatus, it's not really there.

631
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: What do we do about that?

632
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 6: Well, he's got to do himself. You can't get a

633
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 6: party in place at this point in time. We've had

634
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 6: the same chairman for an over years now, and it's

635
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 6: just worth too much in a mindset of losing and

636
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 6: self fulfilling prophecy. My sense is we've got a candidate

637
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 6: who's Bible, who's ticul that knows the issues well in

638
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 6: a very weak in comment. So this is his opportunity

639
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 6: for us.

640
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. So hey, Iran, Uh, what does the president need

641
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: to do now to wrap this up? What does he

642
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 2: need to do? Messaging wise?

643
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 6: Well, message wise is very important. Uh. And as I

644
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 6: said this speech the other night, could have given any time.

645
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 6: But you know the reality is, if you're going to

646
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 6: get on the ground and you're going to go try

647
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 6: and do some of the things that they want to do,

648
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 6: you're going to have, unfortunately gonna have American skilled and

649
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 6: that changes the whole dynamics. If I was if I

650
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 6: was advising him at this point in time, which obviously

651
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 6: I'm not, I'd say get out. You've done what you

652
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 6: want to do. You basically said you're not You're not

653
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 6: going to make You're not going to make the change

654
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 6: in the in the government. Uh. It's and if you

655
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 6: put troops on the ground, you know there's a million

656
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 6: people in their armor, and there's two hundred fifty thousand and

657
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 6: there in their Republican Guard. He was, you know, the

658
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 6: sort of repeat of Vietnam. We bombed the hell out

659
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 6: of Vietnam and basically won't get on the ground or them.

660
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 6: They put a lot of up dead to the Americans.

661
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 6: If you started as Americans, who will lose support.

662
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: Well Ed, Rond's great talking to your great stuff as always,

663
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: and we'll do it again soon. Thanks, thanks for being

Speaker 2: seven ten w.

671
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 9: Mark Simone's back on seventeen w A on.

672
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 6: Well.

673
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: You know they had well this Easter Lunch at the

674
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: White House that was yesterday. It was the day before. Yeah,

675
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,479
Speaker 2: it was the day before the Easter lunch where the

676
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 2: President speaks and they had a lot of invited guests

677
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: and dignitaries and VIPs there and the President spoke and

678
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: it was very funny. It's a private event. For some reason,

679
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: they videotaped it and then somebody at the White House

680
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: accidentally posted the video It was never supposed to be

681
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: seen publicly, and the President got pretty frank with everybody

682
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: and it became like a roast. He was kind of

683
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: roasting everybody with a lot of jokes. So it was

684
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: not supposed to go up online. They posted it. It

685
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: was taken down after about twenty minutes when they realized

686
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 2: the mistake, but a lot of the stuff leaked out

687
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: the footage. In fact, he started talking about the French

688
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: president Macrone, talking about he couldn't be here because his

689
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 2: wife beat him up. It was that he's still recovering

690
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: from the right to the jaw. He then mimicked Macrone's

691
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 2: French accident and started imitating him getting beaten up by

692
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 2: his wife. Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, was there and

693
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 2: she's been the victim of all kinds of fake news crap,

694
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 2: and he's talking to her. He said, I would sue

695
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: their ass off. I would sue their blank off. At

696
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: one point he started talking about the Supreme Court justices

697
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 2: and the ones that he appointed, and he called them

698
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 2: stupid people. But again, it's a private lunch, nobody's supposed

699
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 2: to see. It's not supposed to be public. They act

700
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 2: somebody accidentally posted this. All this stuff leakscept Now, if

701
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 2: this were another president, this would have been horribly embarrassing.

702
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: This would have been a problem. Oh my god, look

703
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: what he said behind the scenes. Oh my god, look

704
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: at the jokes he makes behind the scenes. But luckily

705
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: it's Trump. And let's be honest. I mean, is there

706
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 2: anything there he wouldn't have said publicly? So that's the

707
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: great thing about being totally frank, totally blunt, totally honest

708
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: with what you think, no filter, say whatever the hell

709
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: you want all the time. There's nothing that can come

710
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 2: out behind the scenes. You don't have to worry about

711
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: anything being exposed. Look at Christy Nomes's husband with his

712
00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: little bimbo fetish that comes out and it's just awful scandal.

713
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: Now there's word that the reason that got exposed, Christy

714
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: Nome's husband would use these sex workers that would dress

715
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: up they were bimbos. He would dress up as a bimbo.

716
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 2: Apparently they would do this on video. You know, they

717
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 2: have these what they call webcam models where you go

718
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 2: on a webcam and you're talking live to the webcam model.

719
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: And he was paying like twenty five dollars a minute

720
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 2: for them to talk dirty to him. How much is

721
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 2: how long do you have to talk? Well, let's say

722
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 2: it's ten minutes, that's two hundred and fifty bucks. All right,

723
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: let's say it's twenty minutes, it's five hundred bucks. But

724
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 2: apparently one of these sex workers was an illegal migrant

725
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 2: who did this sex work. The illegal migrant calls herself

726
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: Lydia Love. She remembers seeing Nome. She remembers the way

727
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: he was dressed, with the T shirt with the fake boobs,

728
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 2: the balloons underneath. But apparently it was on one of

729
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 2: the workers was an illegal migrant, and the illegal migrant

730
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,720
Speaker 2: was not happy about Christynome and not happy about ice

731
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. So she realized who

732
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,959
Speaker 2: this guy was, and she went to somebody who went

733
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: to Axios, the political website, and leaked it to them.

734
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 2: And apparently that's how it came out. From this illegal

735
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 2: migrant who happened to be a sex worker. You see,

736
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 2: that did do the jobs Americans won't do, like talk

737
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 2: to Christy Nome's husband will. Anyway, we've got a lot

738
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: to get to in the next hour. We'll get to

739
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 2: New York and how it's doing it's opening day to

740
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 2: day Yankee Stadium, big big day there. Weather should be

741
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 2: great by afternoon, the sun should come out. It should

742
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 2: be warm by afternoon, so that'll be great. That's today.

743
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: We'll also get to Tiger Woods in the next hour

744

Speaker 2: news on seven to ten. You're ahead of the game just.

751
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 13: For being here, he s marks alone on sevent tenor.

752
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 2: Well, it's Friday, opening day at Yankee Stadium today. That's

753
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: a big event every years. It's gonna be nice. It

754
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: should be nice later today, sun'll come out. It should

755
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 2: be nice Tomorrow. Looks like rain on Easter Sunday. The

756
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: Easter Parade takes place on Fifth Avenue forty ninth to

757
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 2: fifty seventh Street, But it looks like it'll rain throughout

758
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: the parade on Sunday. So Iran is claiming it's shot

759
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: down a US fighter jet and that the pilot is missing. Now,

760
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: this has not been confirmed by anybody. This is Iran

761
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 2: claiming this. Put out a picture of the jet they

762
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: shot down, saying it's an F thirty five, but US

763
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: officials looking at it and say it's clearly not. They

764
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: can tell from the pieces it's an F fifteen. And

765
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: it should be pointed out Iran has a history of

766
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 2: claiming to have shot down US jets when they didn't.

767
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 2: So we don't know if this is real or not real.

768
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 2: And again Iran has light about it before. If it's

769
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 2: true the pilot is missing, Iran has said to their

770
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 2: public they'll pay a huge reward for anybody that can

771
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 2: find the American pilot and turn them in. The US

772
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: has launched a search operation inside Iran. Now, again, Iran

773
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 2: has a history of claiming to have shot down a

774
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: US plane when they haven't. But I would imagine that

775
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 2: our military knows where all their planes are, and I

776
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 2: would imagine they can tell if they've lost the plane

777
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: or none lost the plane. And they do say there

778
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: is a search operational underw so we'll keep on top

779
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 2: of that for you. Tiger Woods, Well, he got permission

780
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 2: to leave the country to go get treatment, big, big rehabilitation,

781
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 2: rehab treatment overseas, which will get him out of the spotlight,

782
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: he hopes for a long time. More and more coming

783
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 2: out about at the scene. The cops show up. They

784
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 2: know immediately who he is, and they talked to him.

785
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: They're going to do some tests, you know, you walk

786
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 2: the line and all that kind of stuff. But they

787
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 2: asked him to wait in the car while they go

788
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: do some stuff. And apparently at one point he got

789
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 2: out of the car and started wandering a little and

790
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 2: he wandered down the road and he picked you know,

791
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 2: he was on his phone. He was making some sort

792
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 2: of a phone call, wandering down the road away from them,

793
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 2: making this phone call. And then he wandered back and

794
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 2: as he got back towards the cops, they can hear

795
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 2: him saying into the phone, well, thank you so much.

796
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 2: All right, you got it. Bye, And he then said

797
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 2: to the cops, Wow, I was just talking with the president. Now.

798
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 2: Is that to impress the cops? I was just talking

799
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 2: to the President of the United States. That generally, I mean,

800
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 2: it's impressive you're talking to the president of the United States,

801
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: But in a situation like that, it's more confusing the

802
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 2: cops now, they don't know whether you're lying, what to

803
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 2: think of you? Why are you're telling him? This a

804
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: strange thing to say, really strange thing to say. But

805
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 2: if you look at outside of that, you look at

806
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 2: the bodycam footage, there's nothing really bad in there. At

807
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 2: one point where they put him in the car to

808
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 2: take them away, you can hear him say, this is fun,

809
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: all right. I guess he's being sarcastic with himself. So

810
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 2: he wasn't drunk. He took a breathalyzer. There was no

811
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 2: alcohol in his system, so it's not like he was,

812
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 2: you know, look really drunk. He did have trouble with

813
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 2: They give you this test. We got to walk a

814
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 2: straight line. Have you ever tried that? Go try it

815
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 2: totally sober. It's hard to do. He wasn't good on

816
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: the test, but those tests are very hard to do.

817
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: It's really tough. But we won't hear much about it.

818
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 10: Now.

819
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 2: He'll go overseas to some rehab center. I don't know

820
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 2: where it's going to be. He'll go away for months

821
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: and months. Who knows, maybe I'll never come back. But

822
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 2: he's going to try to just stay over there. As

823
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 2: long as possible avoid this trial, which could send him

824
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 2: to jail. And when you're on your third or fourth efense,

825
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: you most likely will go to jail. And then the

826
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 2: lawyers behind the scenes will try to try to work

827
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 2: out something. And we were talking about the ballroom before

828
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 2: President Trump. This was great. He was talking about no kings.

829
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 7: They call me king. Now do you believe it? No king,

830
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 7: I'm such a king. I can't get a ballroom approved.

831
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 2: So it is strange that he can't get this ballroom approved.

832
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: It's a great idea. Presidents have always wanted the ballroom.

833
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 2: It's kind of stupid that we don't have a place

834
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: to hold a big event at the White House. They

835
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 2: get if they do a big event, they got to

836
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 2: put a tent on the lawn and it looks like

837
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 2: a cheesy wedding and long eyees island. So the ballroom's

838
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 2: a good idea. And if you're going to do it,

839
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: you got it. You might as well do it when

840
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 2: you got the greatest ballroom builder in the world in

841
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 2: the White House.

842
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 14: Part of his opinion.

843
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 2: Now the court rules against it and says he has

844
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 2: no authority to do it, but he's got a good point. Here,

845
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 2: it's not a government expense. If the government were paying

846
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 2: for it, if he was going to use the government's money,

847
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 2: maybe then you should get congressional approval. But there's no

848
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 2: government money.

849
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 14: Part of his opinion. But basically he's saying, I need

850
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 14: congressional approval, and he's so wrong. This is being financed privately.

851
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 14: It's a donation that's being given by companies, very rich companies,

852
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 14: very rich people. The ballroom is a donation. It's gotten

853
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 14: great reviews, people love it, and presidents for one hundred

854
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 14: and fifty years have wanted this ballroom to be built.

855
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: So I guess the again, it's a crazy left wing judge.

856
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: He's got a bow tie on, he's got those bizarre eyebrows.

857
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: He's a weird looking guy, left wing, you know, an

858
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 2: NPR listening ms NOW type of a judge. So he's

859
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 2: just out to stop President Trump from doing anything. But

860
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 2: I guess the argument would be because the judge said

861
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 2: he doesn't own the White House, he's merely the steward.

862
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 2: So in other words, if I guess what he's saying is,

863
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 2: if you rent an Airbnb, you don't have the right

864
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 2: to remodel the house. While you're there building an addition

865
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 2: onto it. It's not your house. I guess that's what

866
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 2: he said. But who says Congress has the right over

867
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: the White House? You know, it's supposed to be a

868
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 2: separation of powers, three branches of government. Why would the

869
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 2: legislative branch be allowed to determine what the executive branch does.

870
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 2: The executive branch controls the White House, I guess, And

871
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 2: so the argument is to stop now. There have been

872
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 2: plenty of changes to the White House without congressional approval.

873
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 2: You know who it was, it FDR. Somebody decided they

874
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 2: want a pool, so they took one room and built

875
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: a swimming pool right in the White House, big swimming

876
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 2: pool without congressional approval, and a lot of stuff happened

877
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 2: in that pool. That's where JFK had those two hookers

878
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 2: come and swim with him, Pixie and Dixie or whatever

879
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: their names were. That's where Lyndon Johnson would swim. You know,

880
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: that's where Joe Biden would go swimming when he was

881
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 2: I think when he was vice president or president he would,

882
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 2: but he would this is kind of disgusting. Joe Biden

883
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 2: would swim naked and part of his Secret Service detail

884
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 2: where female, and they hated looking at him naked. It

885
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 2: was awkward, it was inappropriate. And you see how shriveled

886
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 2: up he looks on the outside. When an old prune

887
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 2: can imagine having a look at Joe Biden naked swimming

888
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,879
Speaker 2: in the pool. President Trump comes in and has no

889
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,439
Speaker 2: use for a swimming pool, and he has it covered up,

890
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 2: and he builds that the press room was not very big.

891
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 2: They didn't have a big press room, so he decides

892
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 2: to build a better one, and they cover up the

893
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 2: pool and build it over the swimming pool. Now, all

894
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 2: of this is without congressional approval. A lot of things

895
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: are done without congressional approval. You could argue, well, the

896
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,439
Speaker 2: ballroom is different. It's so massive, it's almost the same

897
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 2: size as the whole White House. It's such a big change.

898
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 2: But again, if you're allowed to change stuff without congressional approval,

899
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: I think he'll win this in the end. He should

900
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 2: win this in the end to see you get these

901
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: crazy judges. I mean the kind of thing. I'll go

902
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court and it'll probably come down to

903
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 2: executive branch can do this without congressional approval. It's their building. Congress,

904
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 2: you know, changes things. Sometimes they'll make a big change

905
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 2: in the Capitol building. They'll build something new, they'll add

906
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 2: a wing, they'll change the entrance. They'll do it. They

907
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: don't have to go get executive branch approval. They don't

908
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 2: have to get approval from the president. So it should

909
00:46:55,280 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 2: work both ways. So now, who would you say if

910
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: you ask Sharon Stone? Now, think of Sharon Stone. She's

911
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 2: made a lot of movies with a lot of people.

912
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 2: If you asked her who was the greatest kisser in Hollywood,

913
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: who would she pick out of all her leading men?

914
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 2: Sharon Stone, Well, she was asked that on Radio Andy

915
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: podcast yesterday. Without hesitation, she said, Robert de Niro. She said,

916
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 2: Robert de Niro the best kisser in the business. He

917
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 2: was the greatest kisser. Sharon Stone, now sixty eight, said,

918
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 2: and Casino, there were a couple of scenes where the

919
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: kiss he gave her was unbelievable. It said, he just

920
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 2: kissed her right out of her shoes. In fact, there

921
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 2: was one where the kiss was unbelievable. And then Scorsese

922
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 2: said that's good, that's good, or do you want to

923
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 2: do another text? She goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, give me

924
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 2: another text, so, Hey, it's possible de Niro could be

925
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 2: the greatest kisser in how It's possible, not the brightest

926
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 2: guy in the world. But he's now eighty two. No

927
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 2: response from him yet. He also did say he was

928
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 2: an actor that I admired the most. He was the

929
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,359
Speaker 2: actor I admired most and wanted to act with, So

930
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 2: she kind of idolized the guy. Sometimes the kiss is

931
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 2: better if it's a guy you happen to idolize that

932
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 2: that can make a big difference. Hey, you're going to

933
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 2: see crime numbers coming down, mom. Donnie will take credit

934
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: for that, and he deserves credit because he's figured out

935
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 2: a way to bring the crime numbers down. Change the

936
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 2: way you count them, changed the system for counting them.

937
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 2: It's like the antisemitic hate crimes. He brought the number

938
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 2: down by changing the way they count them. Used to

939
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 2: count them by whenever anybody calls nine to one one

940
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 2: because of an anti Semitic attack, that counts. Now he's

941
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 2: changed it too. There's a committee that will decide if

942
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 2: it was a hate crime or not, and they'll tell

943
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 2: you if it counts. Same thing with the crime statistics.

944
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: You can change the way they count them, and that

945
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 2: can bring the number down, but that doesn't stop from

946
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 2: bragging about it.

947
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 12: Each of these numbers paint a picture of a safer,

948
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 12: more welcoming city for our fellow New Yorkers, and they

949
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 12: tell a story that statistics can never fully capture. Countless

950
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 12: subway rides, evening walks, and trips to the park that

951
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 12: ended exactly as they should have, boringly without incidents.

952
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, well again, Hey, crime is pretty good for if

953
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 2: you're out there in the suburbs or out there somewhere

954
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: in America. You're listening to think so it's too dangerous too.

955
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 2: Most of Manhattan is very, very safe. There's not a

956
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 2: lot of crime here. There is a crime in New York,

957
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 2: but it's contained mostly in eight precincts. If you're in

958
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 2: the middle of Manhattan, if you haven't been here in

959
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 2: the years, and you come into right here in Midtown

960
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 2: and walk around, it's absolutely fine. Looks like it looks

961
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 2: like it always looked. Mom, Donnie getting into a huge

962
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 2: fight with the city council. We got really lucky. You

963
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,280
Speaker 2: get the craziest, most left wing kook of a socialist

964
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 2: mayor elected. We got really lucky that somehow the city council.

965
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they're going to elect a Democrat to be

966
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 2: their speaker. It's always gonna be a Democrat. But we

967
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,240
Speaker 2: got really lucky. They picked a moderate, common sense Democrat,

968
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 2: Julie men and she has stood up to Mom Donnie

969
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 2: on a lot of things. Mom Donnie wants to go

970
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 2: crazy raising taxes, raising property taxes. It's absolutely insane. All

971
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 2: you do is lose people and you lose revenue. Every

972
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 2: time you raise taxes and raise property tax you'll lose revenue,

973
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 2: people leave. You know, if you were one of these states, Texas, Florida.

974
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 2: There's a lot of states where they got rid of

975
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 2: all the taxes and all of a sudden they take

976
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 2: in twice as much money because everybody starts moving there.

977
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 2: Business booms, the economy grows. But when he wanted to

978
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 2: do this crazy tax raise, and he's got his army

979
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: ready to go to all billion push for it, City

980
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 2: Council Speaker Julie Menon stands up to him and said,

981
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 2: if you got a five billion dollar deficit in your budget,

982
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 2: which is out of one hundred and twenty eight billion,

983
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 2: you cut five billion and costs, you don't raise the taxes,

984
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 2: that'll just make you lose money, you cut costs, and

985
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 2: she proposed a whole bunch of it's easy to do.

986
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,879
Speaker 2: Most of that budget is waste, fraud, bl You could

987
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 2: cut the budget in half easily without cutting any services.

988
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 2: It's just all the waste and fraud. So she proposed

989
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 2: some minor cuts and he went nuts. Mom Donnie made

990
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: a video, a bunch of videos. That's what he does best.

991
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 2: He's not a management guy, doesn't know how to run anything,

992
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: but he's he's an Instagram guy. He's a TikTok guy.

993
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 2: So he went out and made videos attacking this, saying

994
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 2: that it's a doomsday scenario. City services would be cut,

995
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 2: everybody's going to starve to death. But he put out

996
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 2: all these videos and then she just lashed out at him.

997
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 2: This is deeply misleading, potentially harmful. Even Democrats started to

998
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 2: attack Mom Donnie. He said, I thought this would be different.

999
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 2: I thought things would be better. So Mom Donnie got

1000
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,280
Speaker 2: a hell of a backlash even from Democrats for his crazy,

1001
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 2: over the top videos. And even the Socialists aren't backing

1002
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 2: him on this, so that's pretty good news. Even the

1003
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 2: socialists have attacked him on this. Now the mayor, the

1004
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 2: videos you put up got two and a half million views.

1005
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. But a council source also said, besides

1006
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: the backlash, Mom, Donnie is burning a lot of bridges

1007
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 2: with lawmakers. This is standard stuff. Budget negotiation is pretty standard.

1008
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 2: You don't burn your bridges over this. Hey, Well, take

1009
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 2: some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two one zero

1010
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 2: seven ten is the number eight hundred three two one

1011
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 2: zero seven ten. If you're listening to Mark on the

1012
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app, save time and dap the preset button.

1013
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 10: Now.

1014
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 9: Now back to the Mark Simone show on woor.

1015
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to uh Dominic,

1016
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 2: North Carolina Dominic. How you doing?

1017
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hey, good morning, Mark, Happy Easter. Listen. I love

1018
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 6: your show, and I usually all love Ed Rollins, but

1019
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 6: he always comes to things from a political perspective. I

1020
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 6: would say there's more important things than just a mid

1021
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 6: term election. Would think to lose it, but we got

1022
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 6: to finish this thing in Iran. There's two important principles

1023
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 6: at stake. Number one, we cannot let them have nuclear

1024
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 6: weapons and number.

1025
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 2: Two, well, I think we're kind of working on that

1026
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 2: now as we speak. I think as we speak we're trying.

1027
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 6: To do it. Yeah, but I mean I don't. It

1028
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 6: doesn't help, right.

1029
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 2: You got to calm down. You get yourself a little

1030
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 2: riled up there. Calm down, Calm down. We're working on Iran.

1031
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 2: We're doing everything we can do right.

1032
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 6: Now, and it may even take a little bit of sacrifice.

1033
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 2: People like to get mad, they like to be angry

1034
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 2: like them. Well no, no, just take it easy. Calm down.

1035
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 2: We're working on Iran as we speak. Let's go to

1036
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 2: Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you doing.

1037
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark. I'm doing very well, Thank you. Mark.

1038
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 6: In regard to.

1039
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 15: Restaurants outside of the major holidays, I'm wondering where is

1040
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,959
Speaker 15: their main revenue center. I'd have to guess there would

1041
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 15: be two things, the side dishes because everything's al.

1042
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 6: The cart, and probably alcohol.

1043
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. Used to be alcohol. The profit margin

1044
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 2: was much I are on alcohol than food, but that

1045
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 2: was years ago. That was years ago. Once once the

1046
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 2: alcohol changed, you know, once they were like twenty seven

1047
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 2: fancy vodkas and nine thousand different fancy drinks, the cost

1048
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 2: went up. So the profit margins pretty similar in food

1049
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 2: or alcohol. So you can make just as much money

1050
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 2: on food. Here's the thing when you go to it,

1051
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 2: like a steakhouse today, because of the inflation and all

1052
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 2: that stuff, a steak is a ridiculous price. You go

1053
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 2: to a steakhoust the steak could be eighty dollars, eighty

1054
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 2: five dollars. It's unbelievable, and you think the restaurant's greedy.

1055
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 2: They're really not. That's how much they're paying for steak.

1056
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 13: Now.

1057
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 2: One of the reason it's not just inflation. One of

1058
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 2: the reasons is there's a cattle shortage. So the restaurant,

1059
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,720
Speaker 2: if you order an eighty five dollars steak, the restaurant

1060
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 2: is probably not making any money. Believe it or not.

1061
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 2: The cost on that steak is so high they're not

1062
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 2: making any money. But if you order a side dish,

1063
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 2: if you order broccoli or spinach or mashed potatoes, that's

1064
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 2: where they make a fortune because they'll charge you fifteen

1065
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 2: dollars and the cost is like forty cents. So if

1066
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 2: you go order the biggest steak on the menu, they're

1067
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: not too thrilled with you. But if the person with

1068
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 2: you doesn't order a main course and orders four side dishes,

1069
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 2: they're thrilled with that person. Because that's now nowadays where

1070
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 2: all the profit is. Let's go to Paul in Roslin,

1071
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 2: Long Island. Paul, how you doing good?

1072
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 13: Mark? How are you today?

1073
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 2: I'm good. You got a great steak there, you got

1074
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 2: Hendrix's tavern there?

1075
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 13: Right, you're right. Just a question about a different subject.

1076
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 13: Have you watched the JFK Junior Carolyn Bissett series on

1077
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 13: that ethics recently?

1078
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 6: Yes?

1079
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 13: And what do you think about it?

1080
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:38,959
Speaker 3: Well?

1081
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 2: I knew the guy. I didn't know her. I knew

1082
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 2: him pretty well. It's not entirely accurate. It's very well done,

1083
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 2: very well done. This where the locations, everything is very accurate.

1084
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 2: The acting is phenomenal, but they're leaving out a lot

1085
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 2: of stuff. He was an incredible womanizer. He was, as

1086
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 2: people used to say, a hit and quit it kind

1087
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 2: of a guy. If he went through millions of women.

1088
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 2: He was not the soft, sensitive guy they portray. They

1089
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 2: left out that part of it. Also. He was ridiculously

1090
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 2: reckless and careless with his own life in other people's life.

1091
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 2: So did that come across to you in that series?

1092
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 13: Absolutely? And the other thing I noticed is that the

1093
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 13: amount of smoking that she did was incredible. She's basically

1094
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 13: has a cigarette in her mouth in every scene.

1095
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was a lot of people back then,

1096
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 2: you know, you back then, everybody smoked everywhere in every restaurant.

1097
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 2: Everybody's smoking. Go watch the like the Tonight Show from

1098
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy three, Johnny's smoking. Everybody's smoking. But that JFK.

1099
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,439
Speaker 2: You know, if you look back at that plane crash

1100
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 2: to saying, oh, what a tragedy of the plane, it

1101
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 2: was the most reckless thing in the world. Again, he

1102
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 2: was a daredevil and reckless that plane, that flight. He

1103
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: wasn't qualified to fly that flight. He wasn't certified to

1104
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 2: fly in low visibility. He had a broken foot that day,

1105
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 2: which meant he couldn't work the pedals on the plane properly.

1106
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 2: No business making that flight. He was so bad as

1107
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 2: a he'd been a pilot for about twelve minutes and

1108
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 2: he's trying to fly through fog over the ocean. He

1109
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 2: almost hit an American Airlines jet and when he took off,

1110
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 2: he just didn't know what he was doing. He flew

1111
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 2: into the air corridor of an American Airlines plane. Luckily

1112
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 2: they were professional pilots and were able to evade him,

1113
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 2: but otherwise he was just ridiculously reckless, killed his wife,

1114
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 2: killed her sister. Just awful. Let's go to Chris in Bethpage. Chris,

1115
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 2: how you doing, Hey?

1116
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 6: Good?

1117
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 2: Mark?

1118
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 10: Just about JFK. They said it was so bad he

1119
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 10: thought he was flying parallel to the water when he

1120
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 10: was actually flying straight down into it.

1121
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 2: That's what they crashed proof.

1122
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 10: So that was just insane.

1123
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a horrible, horrible, reckless guy. And the

1124
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 2: National Transportation Safety Board report came out totally blamed all

1125
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 2: of this him for everything. The family of the wife

1126
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 2: used that report to sue the Kennedy's and they did

1127
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 2: get I think twenty million in a settlement over it. Yeah, yeah,

1128
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 2: all right, thanks for Colin. Let's go to Let's go

1129
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 2: to Nolan in New Jersey. Nolan, how you're doing a good?

1130
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 13: Well?

1131
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 3: Thanks?

1132
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 16: I saw that Democratic governors like Mikey Sheryl they're going

1133
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 16: to fight Trump on his new executive voter or on

1134
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 16: mail in ballots that would require a Post office to

1135
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 16: only send ballots to eligible citizens. What could their argument

1136
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 16: be against Trump on this?

1137
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 2: Oh? Well, they will fight Trump on anything and everything.

1138
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,479
Speaker 2: If he says it's Friday, they will fight him on that.

1139
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 2: They just fight Trump on anything listen to the words

1140
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 2: of John Fetterman.

1141
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 6: Who do you think leads the Democratic Party today?

1142
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 2: Oh, we don't.

1143
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 11: We don't have one. I think the TDS. I think

1144
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 11: that's the leader right now. You know, right now our

1145
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 11: party is governed by the TDS.

1146
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 2: Trump derangement syndrome. That's all they got, That's what consumes

1147
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 2: them obsessed than twenty four to seven. Let's go to

1148
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 2: Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.

1149
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 3: Good morning Macome, Okay, good morning, Mara. I have to

1150
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 3: respectfully disagree with Ed Rollins what he said about Trump's speech.

1151
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 3: I thought it was one of Trump's better speeches. It

1152
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 3: was very concise, he hit all the bullet points. And

1153
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 3: also because of the time difference between New York and

1154
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 3: in the middle of the country, people were just sitting

1155
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 3: down to have their dinner and they heard Trump's speech

1156
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 3: and all the reasons why we're there, mainly to save

1157
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 3: our children and grandchildren from those maniacs flying intercontinental missiles

1158
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 3: into our cities and everything. And I think Trump is

1159
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 3: going to win on this whole ballroom issue because, as

1160
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 3: you pointed out a number of years ago, about twenty

1161
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 3: years ago, I went to it and was very the

1162
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 3: people had money and everything. They weren't easy. I went

1163
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 3: to an outdoor wedding out in Long Island. They had

1164
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 3: those tents and canopies, and when the sun cam went down,

1165
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 3: the flies came out, the mosquitoes they were eating people alive.

1166
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 3: They were everywhere. I mean, uh, it was horrible. I

1167
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 3: mean you want to compare that with in Europe and

1168
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 3: especially in Italy and France, when they have these state

1169
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 3: dinners there there you were huge, huge ballrooms, you mongish

1170
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 3: beautiful palaces and everything, and you're gonna have people the

1171
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 3: stupid judge in Washington. You're gonna have people going and

1172
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 3: porter sands on the lawn where women wearing full length

1173
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 3: gowns and heels and people dressed to the nine. What's

1174
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 3: the matter with this judge just because he looks like

1175
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 3: some pig from uh MPR, MPR and PBS with that

1176
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 3: bow tie on, and it's all can't Donald Trump just

1177
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 3: ignore that autum up?

1178
01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 2: Well, he's gonna appeal It'll go to another cart Vincent,

1179
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 2: great call, thanks for calling. He'll he'll appeal it. Yeah,

1180
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 2: that's another Vincent makes a great point there when you

1181
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 2: the White House doing these massive dinners out on the

1182
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 2: lawn in a tent. You're right in the summer. It's

1183
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 2: too hot, it's too windy, it's raining, there's flies everywhere.

01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: like to call it, the Upper cheap Side, which means

1212
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:38,040

Speaker 6: Now.

1222
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: When this trend started some years ago, it was mostly

1223
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, these old, antiquated, beat up, old buildings down

1224
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: in the Wall Street area that they were antique. Nobody

1225
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: wanted them anymore. But now this has spread way uptown,

1226
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: all over Midtown. There are buildings that aren't even that

1227
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: old that are being turned into apartments. For example, one

1228
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: thirty five East fifty seventh Street, corner of Lexington Avenue.

1229
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: That's a modern, modern building. It went up in the

1230
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: late eighties and it's being converted to apartments. So there's

1231
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: plenty of that going on.

1232
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and these guys wouldn't do that if they didn't

1233
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 2: have people demand. So, and it's rental apartments are going

1234
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 2: crazy right now, isn't that true?

1235
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean they're crazy if everybody's complaining, Oh, you

1236
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: can't get an apartment for less than four thousand a month. True?

1237
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: True enough, to which tell I say, half tongue in cheek,

1238
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 1: take a second job, you know, quit whining.

1239
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:10,919
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, hey, the dining outdoor dining began this week.

1240
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 2: They're allowed. Now are these sheds going to come back

1241
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 2: all over the sidewalks?

1242
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: I've lost track of what's going on. They're back. No,

1243
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: first of all, I haven't followed this that closely, but yeah,

1244
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 1: they're sort of back, but not not that many restaurants

1245
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: applied for the outdoor seating. Not nothing like you know,

1246
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago during COVID, and people haven't

1247
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: applied for a number of reasons. You know, you need

1248
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: all kinds of city approvals. There's all sorts of reasons why.

1249
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: First of all, the city will tie you up in notch.

1250
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: You have to deal with nineteen different agencies. It's supposed

1251
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: to be the Deparliament of Transportation that's in charge, which

1252
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: it is, but they have to interact with the you know,

1253
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: with the fire Department, with the U Help Department, all

1254
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: these agencies. So there's a lot of hesitation on the

1255
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: part of restaurant owners. They don't want to have to

1256
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 1: go through this again. But meanwhile, you've got the Hospitality Alliance,

1257
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: my friend Andrew Ridgie pushing for even more, you know,

1258
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: and city council people want to have year round outdoor seating.

1259
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: I don't think we need that, but yeah, you'll be

1260
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 1: seeing some of these. It's a moot point. Unless the

1261
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: weather gets any better. It still feels like winter today.

1262
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't care what the forecast said. And we're going

1263
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: to Florida on Tuesday and I can't wait to get

1264
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: out of here.

1265
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 2: Oh look, where are you going to Florida?

1266
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 6: Oh?

1267
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: The usual round, you know, the usual milk from Palm Beach,

1268
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: Delray Beach, and Miami Beach. Okay, three beaches.

1269
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 2: Now Palm Beach has got a million restaurants opening, but

1270
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 2: they're all from New York. They're all from the Hamptons,

1271
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 2: they're all from the.

1272
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 1: Well, not all of them. The big place down there

1273
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: now is called Polo something, Polo Lounge. Polo.

1274
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a guy that worked for it's a guy

1275
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 2: that worked for Ralph Lauren. He gave him a permission

1276
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 2: to use the Polo name down there.

1277
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 3: Is that right? Yeah?

1278
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm looking forward to going because everybody says it's

1279
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the hottest place and food's great, YadA yadaxl and the watch.

1280
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: We'll get down there and the weather will stink, but

1281
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: when you travel, that's that's photo black.

1282
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 2: Hey, Steve Kisa, you wrote this cameo. A certain food

1283
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 2: just comes to New York, goes viral. It's a big deal.

1284
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 2: You wrote about sushi. Push Pops explain that.

1285
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: So there's a new place called Suka Sushi. It's a

1286
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: little storefront. It's on Lexington Avenue in twenty fifth i think,

1287
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: and they have a gimmick everybody's got a gimmick. Now,

1288
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: there's all sorts of weird things going on, and this

1289
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: one is pop up sushi roll So you get a container,

1290
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: you get a cylindrical container containing the sushi rolls, and

1291
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: there's a thin tube attached to it, like the tubes

1292
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: that you take board with that's filled with soy sauce.

1293
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: And you start by you're supposed to break the skinny

1294
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: tube off from the big tube, and then you pry

1295
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: the lid off the thick tube, and then you pour

1296
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 1: the soy sauce from the skinny tube into the thick

1297
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: tube with the sushi rolls. And then you're supposed to

1298
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 1: take the excuse me, the thin tube and stick it

1299
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 1: into the bottom of the thick tube and push it up.

1300
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: And what happened is, and I did a video about this,

1301
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: you can see it online on the New York Post website.

1302
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: You push up the sushi rolls, which actually taste pretty good,

1303
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: and out they come on top. It looks ridiculous, and

1304
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: it is ridiculous. And the big problem with it is

1305
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: that I made a mess, and most people are going

1306
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: to make a mess with it too. You've got to

1307
01:07:54,600 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 1: be very nimble fingered not to spill everything all over yourself.

1308
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 1: And to make it work. There are no chopsticks, there

1309
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: are no utensils, so you basically have to eat the

1310
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 1: damn thing with your mouth as you walk. Now, it's

1311
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 1: not like eating a hot talk or a slice of pizza.

1312
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 1: That's easy. We all do that. This is this is

1313
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,840
Speaker 1: a new level of you know, skill that you need. Yeah,

1314
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 1: so good luck.

1315
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 2: Well it's but there's a lot of these things that

1316
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,839
Speaker 2: come along, they go viral, they're great for Instagram and TikTok,

1317
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 2: and then they're gone in a year.

1318
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: This will be Yeah, it's all about TikTok.

1319
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, hey, what is this? Every restaurant now, you know,

1320
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 2: used to have like a guy like Danielle would open

1321
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 2: Danielle Great restaurant, John George would open John George and

1322
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 2: that was. But nowadays every restaurant guy, no matter who

1323
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 2: it is, has to have fifty places, seventy five places.

1324
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 2: What caused that trend?

1325
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:50,679
Speaker 1: Well, it's been ongoing for years. A lot of people

1326
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: love restaurants all over the world. You have celebrity chefs

1327
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 1: and who may be great chefs like excuse me, like

1328
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: Danielle Blue, and you have others who are just big

1329
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:05,680
Speaker 1: names even though they're not that good. And you have

1330
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: these companies very often it's Wall Street money, hedge funds,

1331
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,719
Speaker 1: guys like that want to invest in restaurants. It's fun.

1332
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: They see an opportunity to expand to a whole bunch

1333
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:21,800
Speaker 1: of cities, and if they can pull that off, they

1334
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: can get very rich. The catch, of course, is that

1335
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: just because a restaurant has the name of a certain

1336
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:32,799
Speaker 1: famous chef or a restaurant you like a Carbone or whatever,

1337
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that the places that have that name in

1338
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: you know, in Hong Kong, Chicago, wherever it may be,

1339
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: will be as good as the ones you know that

1340
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: started out in New York.

1341
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 2: Also, if you got if you're a great restaurant guy,

1342
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 2: great chef, let's not mention any New York nas Let's

1343
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 2: pick a foreign name. If you're Gordon Ramsay and you

1344
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 2: got one restaurant in London, it's the greatest restaurant. You

1345
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 2: make sure it's a great. But once you have one

1346
01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:59,839
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five restaurants, they all become kind of mediocre.

1347
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:01,719
Speaker 2: You can't keep an eye on everything.

1348
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I mean they make the they make the

1349
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 1: pretense of oh I'm always there. I come around every week,

1350
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: but that's physically impossible. And again, some of them give

1351
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: a better account of it than others. I've never been

1352
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 1: to a Danielle Balloon restaurant anywhere that wasn't at least good.

1353
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: I've never been to a restaurant that carries Jean George

1354
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: von Garrichton's name that isn't really good. So yeah, again,

1355
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: it's up to how what commitment the chef is willing

1356
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 1: and able to make.

1357
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 2: But now, if you're John George, you spend all day

1358
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 2: in a car driving from restaurant to restaurant to restaurant.

1359
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 2: You gotta go to thirty places.

1360
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 6: A day, and they do.

1361
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: In Manhattan, absolutely, they do.

1362
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 2: Well. Have a good trip in Florida. And are you

1363
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 2: going to Miami too?

1364
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 6: Right?

1365
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna make the whole East coast, right.

1366
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:59,560
Speaker 2: So I look at Miami restaurant's Instagram. They look spectacular,

1367
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 2: is food wise they're not any better than New York?

1368
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 2: Are they?

1369
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry which ones mark?

1370
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 2: Any all the top Miami restaurants they look spectacular, but

1371
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 2: food wise.

1372
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 3: Some of them are.

1373
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: Some of them are really good. I mean, I've been

1374
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 1: to not Carbone, but the other restaurant owned by the

1375
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: same people, Major Food Group in Miami last year. It

1376
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 1: was just wonderful. It's an Italian restaurant. I just can't

1377
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: remember the name. So you know with Vales and the

1378
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 1: restaurants in Las Vegas are mostly all terrific.

1379
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well, great stuff. Everybody reads Steve Cuzo

1380
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 2: in the New York Post. His columns are all up

1381
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 2: in the New York Post website. And Steve Cuzo, thanks

1382
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:38,240
Speaker 2: for being with us.

1383
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: Thanks Locke, always fun.

1384
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 13: Thank you.

1385
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 2: Take care. Now. Right over there, as you go over

1386
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 2: to Seventh Avenue, there was rosy O Grady's. Remember that

1387
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 2: it was a big, big, enormous saloon. It's like the

1388
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 2: whole block long it was, and it closed. Everybody was

1389
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:57,719
Speaker 2: upset about that. It was a big place. So apparently

1390
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 2: that's going to become a Sarafina at the Italian Restauran,

1391
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 2: but not the regular Serafina, a concept kind of restaurant.

1392
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 2: And Michael Lomonico, the great chef, he had one of

1393
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 2: the best steakhouses in Columbus Circle Time Warners Center. He's

1394
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 2: going to run it. So that's great news. But you

1395
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 2: see That's what I mean. When Rosio Grady's closed, and

1396
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 2: that was a big tourist place. Everything you see New

1397
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 2: York is dying. It just well now it's about the

1398
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 2: reopen is an even more incredible restaurant. So every time

1399
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 2: something closes, something else opens. You got massive skyscrapers going

1400
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:38,480
Speaker 2: up everywhere. You got all the top restaurant guys opening everywhere.

1401
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,679
Speaker 2: New York is booming. All these real estate companies wouldn't

1402
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:45,719
Speaker 2: be buying up properties, building skyscrapers if they didn't believe

1403
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 2: in the in the future of New York. Hey, don't

1404
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 2: forget Curtis Lee. What is back? He's here now every

1405
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 2: morning with Larry Menti. It's Curtis and Larry every morning

1406
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 2: six to ten, here on seven to ten w R.

1407
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 12: In every show, Mark simone on seven ten wor.

1408
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 2: Well, you know the stock market, it's been up and down.

1409
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 2: And Mark Zuckerberg, there was one day the stock market

1410
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 2: went way down. Was last Friday. I guess went down

1411
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 2: five percent. Mark Zuckerberg that day lost twenty billion dollars

1412
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 2: in one day and didn't even blink. It didn't mean

1413
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 2: anything to him. You know, when you were worth three

1414
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 2: hundred billion, he lost twenty billion in one day and

1415
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:39,679
Speaker 2: it meant absolutely nothing. So it'll all come back. Stock

1416
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 2: market will come back bigger than ever. Hey, the latest

1417
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 2: on Iran that the President has been briefed. Iran claims

1418
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 2: it shot down an F fifteen Strike Eagle plane and

1419
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 2: that they saw the pilot eject, So they're searching for

1420
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 2: the pilot in Iran. They've offered a huge reward to

1421
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 2: any Iranian that can find that pilot and turn him in.

1422
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 2: The US has obviously launched a big search operation to

1423
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 2: find him.

1424
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 6: Now.

1425
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:17,679
Speaker 2: Iran has a history of claiming to have shot down

1426
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 2: a plane when they didn't. But we're now hearing the

1427
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 2: President is being briefed on this. So I would assume

1428
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 2: it's true that a plane was shot down, and I

1429
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 2: would assume the US can keep track of all their planes.

1430
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 2: So it looks like it looks like it's turning out

1431
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 2: to be true and F fifteen has been shot down.

1432
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 2: They're looking for the pilot as we speak now. As

1433
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 2: Ed Rollins on the show was saying earlier, as soon

1434
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 2: as you start to lose lives or they get a

1435
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 2: hostage or something, it changes everything on this. So we'll see,

1436
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. We'll keep you posted with whatever

1437
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 2: we hear. Otherwise, Today's a big day Yankee Stadium opening

1438
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 2: day today. That's great news. I know it looks bad outside,

1439
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 2: the weather will clear up. Kamala Harris is getting a

1440
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:09,719
Speaker 2: lot of flax. She's announced to tour of the south

1441
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 2: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas. Those are big important

1442
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 2: states for Democrats in an election. People in the Democratic

1443
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 2: world upset. They think that means she's going to try

1444
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 2: to run again. She was a total disaster as a candidate.

1445
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 2: She was the worst vice president ever. They want to

1446
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 2: get rid of her. They've had enough of her. If

1447
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:34,560
Speaker 2: she jumps back in the race, it just screws up everything.

1448
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 2: So a lot of Democrats very very upset about this. Now,

1449
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 2: normally you're a former vice president, you get a book deal,

1450
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 2: you get this deal, you go on and make a fortune.

1451
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 2: Look at al Gore, who became a weather profiteer with

1452
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 2: that climate change stuff, went out to make two three

1453
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 2: hundred million. She had not been able to do that.

1454
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,080
Speaker 2: So they're worried that she'll get back in the race

1455
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 2: just looking for attention. Sometimes you get back in the

1456
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 2: race because those Democrat they got a lot of big donors,

1457
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 2: and if you get back in the race and they

1458
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 2: don't want you, they'll got one of those big donors

1459
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,639
Speaker 2: to give you a huge, high paying job and buy

1460
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 2: you out of the race. So that may be what

1461
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 2: she's up to. Hey, we're out of time. I'll be

1462
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 2: back Monday ten to noon. And remember, if you can't
