Speaker 1 (00:00):
And good morning, Happy Tuesday. Great to be back in
the Big Three today. The battle over a gang banger
deported to an L. Salvador prison continues, and Donald Trump
throughout the possibility that he would send American criminals to L.
Salvador's prison. If it's a home grown criminal, I have
(00:23):
no problem. Now, we were studying the laws right now,
Pam is studying.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
If we can do that, that's good.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And I'm talking about violent people. I'm talking about really
bad people. We have high profile criminal defense attorney Jeffrey
Lickman to talk about that, to give his opinion at
seven thirty five. I just happened to think that sometimes
he talks off the cuff, and many of the times
he should keep it to himself until he finds out
if it's legal. Another tragic air disaster in New York,
(00:50):
this one upstate, when a plane carrying a family of
four crashed on approach for landing. This comes, of course,
after that heartbreaking crash last week into the Hudson that
killed a family of five. The new US Attorney for
New Jersey, Alena Haba, has opened an investigation into Governor
(01:14):
Phil Murphy and Attorney General Matt Platkin and anyone else
who stands in the way of federal deportations.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
And I'm looking at you, Patterson, New Jersey. I will
be investigating you. And if you did commit a crime,
if you ordered obstruction, if you are ordering concealment and harboring,
you will be charged.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And it seems like the stunt worked. New Jersey Senator
Corey Booker broke the record for the longest speech in Congress.
Now he has jumped nine points and only trails Kamala
Harrison a poll of who Democrats want running for president
in four years or three and a half, three years
(01:55):
and so many months. Well, I ask editor in chief
of the National Review, Rich Lowry about that coming up.
It was only a ten minute flight, but the blue
Horizon trip into space, even though it only lasted those
ten minutes, was enough to change CBS anchor Gail King's life.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
The atc Control, I might even now get my ears pierced.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I've never got my.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Has that hurt, but I feel I walked out of
there thinking, gosh, I can do anything.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
We've got more on the historic shot into space coming
up in about ten minutes, and just a reminder that
today is tax day, either you get your tax filing
in or do like I do every year, get an extension.
Natalie Migliori will ask about the stress of tax Day
in her Beat on the Street at eight fifty. Man,
(02:48):
I was like to say, it's good to be back.
But I literally just got off a plane yesterday last
night into JFK and got back here. I was on
a trip to Italy with my wife, and I thought,
you know, I thought I could just tough it out
and I could come in the next day. Man, Man,
was that a mistake?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
You hurt?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I am? I am hurt, and of course, and then
yesterday we had drama. So I got in and I
thought I had plenty of time to get here, like
a lot of drama. And so my my family was
getting on a bus and they were they were going
back home, and I was going to stay in New
York overnight, and I had a hotel all set and
I was saying goodbye to them. I went outside and
said goodbye to them as they get on the bus,
(03:31):
and I ran to go to the bathroom before I
got a lyft to come into town. And when I
was done, when I washed my hands, I look around.
I can't find my I can't find my suitcase. It
was mister, yeah my suitcase. Well, I had in my
bag had so I didn't I didn't lose all of it.
Thank god, I didn't lose my passport. I didn't lose
(03:53):
my wallet and anything like that. Well, yeah, but my
my suitcase. So I I run and they I tell somebody.
I call on the phone. I go to baggage claim,
I go to lost luggage, I go to everything trying
to find it, and I can't find it. And finally
they called the police. And this nice guy is really
(04:14):
nice young cop, and I'm I'm going back and forth
on what his last name was. I should have written
it down, Mike, I said, Mike Miller. It might be
Mike Holmes. But he was he knows who he is,
and he was great. He was wonderful. So they actually
went in and they tracked through video my last hour
(04:37):
in the in the airflow getting through custom Are you Beyonce?
It was amazing. I mean, they they have me going
through customs, they have me saying goodbye to my family,
They have me going in the men's room, they have
me running around like a maniac looking for my bag.
(04:58):
It was incredible and and talking to everybody about it. Uh,
it turns out I didn't take my bag into the men.
Don't laugh.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
He was so tired.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Thank you, Jacqueline. That was very nice of you because
I felt like an idiot. Well enjoy that. So what happened? No,
I left it outside, and my son, being the great
guy he is, took it home.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
Because he probably thought so he wants me to take
the luggage home because you know, he's going to work.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
He doesn't need as.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Told I talk about it. I actually had talked about
that and then changed my mind that I wasn't going
to do that and.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Just didn't relay that message telepathically and he saw it
and then he took it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
So I just felt like an idiot, and you know
the So the cop then calls me and talks to
me about it. And now I was in the lift
when I called you right and told you the story.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Well, because I text, I sent you a text run
for something. I was like, oh, he must be back.
I'm like, hey, world traveling, how you doing? My luggage
was stole and I went through the whole drama until
he found it.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, the cop called me when I was on the
phone with you when the cop called me and and
went through the whole thing, and then he he detailed
everything I did, every store I went into, anything I did,
He all of it. It is amazing. They have every
inch of the airport covered with cameras.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I wish I had that in my house when I
lose something.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh, I know, wouldn't that be great?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Cat?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
You dancing around your pajamas holding your brush as a microphone.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
How did you know that? How do you know that?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I've always known that about you. It's written all over you.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So anyway, it was a wonderful trip. And uh, it
was a wonderful trip. And by the way, this trip
is put on by a company called Conservative Tours, and
it is it is. You're laughing.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
I thought I had my mic off. But it's so
fitting for you. It is, and I'm proud of that,
and so were all the people that were there. I'm
I mean, the whole idea of the tours are so
that someone who is conservative doesn't feel like they're an outcast.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, I mean the people's traveling.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Great to travel with people really like that.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Oh, I just thought it was something else, like it
was like a conservative like you know there was something
else conservative about it.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
No, I think it meant just what it says novatives.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
I thought it was like something else, like, you know,
they were very conservative with where they went or how.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Much they charged you or something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
So I was like, oh, oh, no, you you your
laughter was valified, validated. It was actually a conservatives political conservatives.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Oh I didn't realize that.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah. And it's amazing. It's put on by a guy
named Ken Chase. He's been doing it for twenty one years.
He actually ran against ran against Ted Kennedy for Senate
up in Massachusetts, and I said to him, I said,
oh my god, why would you do that? And he
said I was just carrying the batter. I knew I
was going to get killed. But he did debate him.
But any way, he did say, this is my wife's
(08:02):
in her station down in Philadelphia. I got to go
because of her. But he did say, you'd be interested
in war, So I.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Bet you our listeners would love to go on a trip.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Together, I think.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
So.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You can go to Conservative Tours dot com to check
it out and the phone numbers right there. And here's
the amazing thing about Kenny. He's been doing as as
I said, for twenty one years. He picks up the
phone himself. So if you call, you're going to get
the owner of the company. And so do me a
favor and call and say you'd love to go on
a trip with Larry MENTI that's who you'd like to
(08:35):
go on a trip with from WR because I would
love to go on one of these trips with you.
There's a trip to Normandy that I would love to
go on. And then it goes through battlefields, and Ken
is a historian, so Ken does the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
And from what you told me, this trip was you know,
first class, my beautiful hotels and wonderful tours and just
you know, NonStop amazing things. It sounds fantastic.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And they and the tour guides are Italian and have
lived there all their life and of tours all their life.
So we actually I'm going on too long about this,
I realized, but I was.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Just really, that's what happens after a trip.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, it was. It was really really impressed. The hotels
were like none. We were right on lakes with huge balconies.
That was our room, you know, And and they they
the tour guides would take us out every day to
go first of all, to some cities. That a city
called Bollagio that was out in Lake Cuomo, which is gorgeous,
(09:33):
just absolutely beautiful. Stressa is another one that we went
to and that's where the beautiful hotel was. It was
right on the lake. So anyway, Conservative tours dot Com
just let them know that you want to go on
a trip and uh because because you deserve it. You
deserve it on a trip.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Like that, Well, we're glad you're back though, a lot.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Of people, by the way, we're on the trip celebrate
celebrating anniversaries, celebrating getting married, celebrating all kinds of stuff.
So it's a it's a wonderful trip for that. And
you can give any political opinion you won if you're conservative,
because everybody will agree with you. Well, that's enough about that.
I went on a little bit too long, but I
just got back and I had kind of an ordeal
and I just thought i'd share it with all of you.
(10:12):
And how wonderful the tour was. Talk about a trip. Now,
this one was quick. It only took ten minutes into space,
but it has made history. We'll talk about the Blue
Horizon Short flight and you'll hear from some of the
famous passengers. Plus we have tickets to give away at
(10:32):
age twenty five. Oh wow, this is to see the
Doobie Brothers next. It's amazing. This is happening again. A
second Columbia University student who organized campus protest against the
war in Gaza. They've been arrested and detained by US
Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Mo San mal Dawi, a Palestinian
(10:54):
greed green card holder who was set to graduate from
Columbia in May, was taken by Ice. He is in
custody right now. They want him deported, and once again,
a federal judge in Vermont, this time issued an order
barring the government from moving Madali out of Vermont on
(11:15):
the US pending further reveal of the case. So he
can't take him out of Vermont or the US pending
further review of the case. It seems like district court
judges now are running the country and deciding our foreign policy.
For more on that, let's go to Jeffrey Licktman, high
profile criminal defense attorney and host of Beyond the Legal
(11:37):
Limit podcast found on the iHeartRadio app. Jeffrey, I'll just
ask you to take that and run with it.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
What do you think, Well, you know, if it's as
simple Larry as trying to deport non citizens who are
simply leading protests against the war, it sounds kind of
extreme to want to grab him and send them back
to whatever god forsaken Muslim terror dumps that they're from.
(12:06):
But that's not what's happening. What's happening is that these
are students that are pro Hamas and they're for a
Muslim terror group that's internationally prescribed, and they're causing mayhem
on college campuses. And that's really what it is. You know,
the free speech leftists will tell you, well, you know,
first Amendment, First Amendment, but that's not what's happening here. Now.
(12:27):
These are students that are fomenting the terrorism on campus.
They're causing violence. And with regard to the latest student
that was grabbed in Vermont, naturally he was in Vermont
because he knew that when he got grabbed that he
would have a leftist judge that would help him, which
is exactly what he did. But this is a student
that has been a college student, Larry since two thousand
(12:49):
and eight. He has been a college student now for
seventeen years and the reason that's the way you get
a green card. You just continue to be a student forever.
He's thirty four years old and he's graduating Columbia. This
is like his fifth university. So this is what they do.
They bring their disease over from this one is from Gaza,
(13:12):
or actually I think this one's from the West Bank.
He brings his disease over to America and he spreads
it whenever he can. So finally America with the president
who's had enough, mainly because the Jihada students went bonkers
after October seventh, they decided to grab these people and
send them back and listen, they can jihad and they
can hate Jews, and they can cause terrorism back in
(13:35):
their own places. They don't need to do it in America.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, because we've been
running down the list of things that these protests did.
The Jewish students were frightened to go out of their
dorm rooms, they were being harassed as they walked to class.
Classes were canceled because them. A building was taken over.
Three security guards were injured. So there's a whole list
you could go through all the criminal charges right there, Jeffy,
(14:00):
just because of that. So they did incite violence, and
they did harass students, and I think at the base
of this is anti Semitism.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Well, there's no question. I mean, it's all started after
October seventh. It's all been against Jewish people under the
guise of protesting a war. And there doesn't even have
to be any allegations of criminal activity. There doesn't have
to be any charges. Simply if you're a non citizen,
you can't destroy the campus, you can't harass students, you
can't disrupt classes or else. You've got to go back
(14:35):
to whatever islamis dump that you're from. And that's you know.
And if we can I hate to segue for you, lud,
but if we can segue into the grabbing of funds,
the stopping of federal funds that just came out against Harvard,
and Harvard pushing back against President Trump saying no, we're
not going to abide by the conditions that you're putting
on the federal funding, the billions of dollars that you
(14:58):
give us each year. And you know, I can understand
Harvard's response. They said, look, we're angry about this. And
we're not going to give in to Trump. We're not
going to do the conditions that you're insisting in order
for us to get this federal funding, because some of
the stuff, Larry, is pretty extreme that Trump's administration wants.
They want to have an audit of what the students
(15:19):
and professors are thinking and how they're acting. They want
to see all of the decisions on admissions and where
the kids are coming from, and who was denied admission
and who was granted. When you look at it, if
you just look at it in a vacuum, Larry, you're thinking,
my god, what is the federal government doing. It's a
little bit too big brotherish. But then when you actually
(15:40):
see that, it's not in a vacuum. And all of
this occurred after October seventh and all the violence on campus,
not only from the Jahada students that they let in
and why did they let them in, but also from
the professors. And what Harvard is basically saying is, look,
you want to stop two billion, up to maybe nine
billion and funding. We're willing to give that up in
(16:02):
order for us to be able to hate Jews on campus.
It's that important for us to hate Jews and cause
violence on campus. We're willing to give up the two billion.
All the Trump administration wants is they want some action
from Harvard. When this was going on and the campus
was being overrun by these Jihadas and the violence was occurring,
you couldn't hear a peep from the Harvard administration. Now,
(16:27):
all of a sudden, when they're going to lose their funding,
suddenly they found their voice. But back then, when this
was going on, they didn't do a damn thing to
stop the Jihadis. And now when they're being forced to
pay for it, they're like, no, Now, First Amendment, and
we should be able to say it. We want. You
know what, as far as I'm concerned, Larry, all of
these universities, they're almost every one of them is the
(16:48):
IVY League. We've got Northwestern, We've got Georgietown, you know,
all of them, all the top schools, they're overrun by jahadas, students,
jahadas professors. What Trump is doing is a wonderful thing.
It shouldn't be partial federal funding being withdrawn. It should
be all let these universities. Harvard's got a fifty three billion,
fifty three billion with a B Larry Endowment. Let them
(17:12):
use that money and from all their rich alumni who
still want to fund the Jahadis University. Let them figure
out how to do all of this life saving research
without the FEDS. My view is, just drain them of money,
starve them, make it so that they can no longer
function as a university. They can all disappear, and in
the ashes we can arise new universities that are not
(17:35):
filled with this garbage, with this filth, with this disease
from radical Muslim countries.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Wow, I want to see you in court, that's what hell.
I want to see you doing all this in court
and it has to be fun. Yeah, next time you
have a big case, I want to go. I didn't
get to talk to you about Alina Habba. Next time.
She's doing a great job.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Next time.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Jeffrey Lektivin, high profile criminal defense attorney, host of Beyond
the Legal Limit podcast found on the iHeartRadio app. Thanks
a lot, Jeffrey. So here's a headline that will get
your attention. Newly released CIA files about aliens attacking Soviet
forces go viral. So it says the Red Army soldiers
(18:14):
were allegedly turned into the limestone pillars by extraterrestrials in
revenge for shooting down their spacecraft over Siberia. Now that's
really as much as I know about the story from
just reading that. I knew nothing about it. But I
do know someone who's going to know a lot about it,
(18:34):
and that's the UFO maestro himself, Joe Bartlett, former wo
R news director. So what is Is there anything real
to this? Joe?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Of course it's real?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Okay, what says? I'll tell you why? I say, yeah,
it's well, except that it's just a synopsis of a
published report in the Canadian weekly World News.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Well, it's as believable as anything you're getting from the
White House these days.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So here we go. I thought we for once, I
thought we could talk about something else. Can we just
talk about something rational like UFOs for a second.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Look at I truly believe there is something out there
that we have been visited, and we do have evidence,
and I think it's it's within President Trump's perview to
release that information and give the Americans the honest truth.
Here we're not alone.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Can we can we take that audio? Because he just
said something nice about Donald Trump and the new version
of Joe Bartlett hasn't said a nice thing about Donald
Trump now for months.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Wow. Since we're on that, let's get to the town,
because go ahead, go ahead is yours. Look, I don't
know about what's going on here. It's scary if you
ask me. This is even Rich Lowry I heard him
just a few minutes ago. This is kind of an
irrational approach to a problem that really, you know, I mean,
(20:03):
it didn't hurt us. It probably could be fixed. But
to take this approach is scary, and I'm worried about
my retirement income. The market up and down is very scary,
and it looks like this really wasn't well thought out.
It's Trump going with his gut. And when he goes
(20:23):
with his gut, keep in mind that this is a
guy that likes well done steak with ketchup, diet coke
and ice cream. So that's the gut. What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I don't get that sounds delicious?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, okay, Well, anyway, there's a lot of uncertainty right now,
and that's not good. I'm not that's not good.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
No, I'll agree with you, and as I agreed with
Rich Lowry to an extent that he didn't have to
do with so hamhandedly. And I think the reason he
did it that way, Joe, was because he wanted to
get this over with quickly. He wanted to get it
over with before the midterms, thinking it would only it
would hurt his poll numbers for a year and Republicans
poll numbers for a year. But you're right, that's risky
(21:04):
because that means it has to work and other countries
have to play ball with you. That's not necessarily going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, I think one of the biggest mistakes he made
is to alienate our European allies. You know, if you
have the big issue with China and then join forces
with the EU and go and make a better deal
with China together. But now what he's done, he's driven
China into the hands of the EU, into places like
Vietnam and all these other countries where we have this
(21:34):
trade and balance. I mean, it's not it's haphazard if
you ask me, And I don't think he can win.
And the other thing, this is a long game, right,
This isn't going to happen overnight. Firms aren't going to
move here, and within six months we're going to have
a beautiful economy and no trade balance. And I don't
think Trump can play the long game. China can, so yeah,
(21:57):
and the trouble ahead.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, the EU can't. Though the EU has already come
at the table and said I love their proposal of
free trade just as zero percent all throughout for the
United States and the EU. I love that idea. I
guess Donald Trump doesn't like it for some reason because
the negotiations continue. But that would be great, don't you agree?
If and if that happened, would you admit that it
(22:19):
was that part at least was a success.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Well, yes, if we get free trade, no tariffs with
the EU, that would be a major victory. We still
have the China problem. But look at I know you
and I know Mark Simon all think that Trump is
a genius and this is all going to work out
in the end. And maybe it will, but we'll see.
At the moment, I'm not confident.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
No, I would just admitted to you I have some
trepidation about this as well. I think that he took
on too much too fast, and I do think there
is a tariff problem, and I he Reagan was talking
about a tariff problem. Every president's talked about it, and
so I like the fact that he's bold enough to
take this on. I don't know why he had to
do it all at once. That's the only ring, the
(23:07):
only problem. Yes, he look at that. Wow, you know, go.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Ahead, Let's move on to something else.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Sure, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Donald Trump wanted to put CBS out of business because
he didn't like a sixty minutes YE show.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Do you believe that he really wants to put CBS
out of business?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
He said it. We believe everything he says.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Larry No, I think he say. I think he says
these things for a couple of reasons. He wants to
make a point. First of all, it wouldn't be covered
if he said something else, so it's going to be
covered by everybody. I think he loves to play a
troll too. I think he loves to drive the left crazy.
And so there's been so many of these and everybody
(23:46):
reacts like you just did. Everybody reacts to it and
talks about it, and then it covers up for the tariffs,
then it covers up for other things. He is a master,
I think, at playing the media in this game. And
I think you would even agree with that right, that
he is master at saying no, no, look over here,
this is the important thing. Look over here. He does
it all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
You know, rather have a calm, rational president as somebody
who's like a three ring circus that you know, hook
over here, Look over there, I got this here, Come
over here. You know, it doesn't give me a feeling
of confidence, especially when you know this the markets are
going up and down and I look, I'm gonna fixed income. Now.
(24:30):
This is important to me that I not lose my
four oh one K or my investments. And oh, by
the way, did you see him in the Oval office
last week where he introduced Charles Schwab to these NASCAR
guys And he says, Charles Schwab, this guy made two
billion dollars in the market during the dip. And how
(24:52):
does that make you feel?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
It doesn't. It makes me feel like Charles Schwab's a
good guy and I should invest with Charles Schwab.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Oh yeah, okay, it figures what else want.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
To say to you?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
He played the dip. He played the dip that well,
you always should have. I feel like I missed it.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well, you should have been a member of Congress, because
they played it too.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I know they did. I know they did. Mostly Democrats.
By the way your people they are, they shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
They shouldn't get that inside trading option.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Your new friends. Man, you have changed so much o
your new friends, Joe, I thanks a lot. Do you
want to get back to the UFOs real quick or
we wrapped up?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Do you believe that there's life out there on Earth?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I do, Yeah, I do. I don't think they visited us,
but I do believe there's life out here other than
out there, other than Earth. What is that famous mathematical
theory on that There is a mathematical theory that's that
shows you there has to be life out there on
other planets, but probably unreachable by us.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Well, you'll just think of the expanse of the universe.
There's got to be something else out there.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, absolutely, wor bring a lot of things today. This
is great, Joe. Always good to talk to you. Thanks
a lot for being here.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
All right, take care, learn
And good morning, Happy Tuesday. Great to be back in
the Big Three today. The battle over a gang banger
deported to an L. Salvador prison continues, and Donald Trump
throughout the possibility that he would send American criminals to L.
Salvador's prison. If it's a home grown criminal, I have
(00:23):
no problem. Now, we were studying the laws right now,
Pam is studying.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
If we can do that, that's good.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And I'm talking about violent people. I'm talking about really
bad people. We have high profile criminal defense attorney Jeffrey
Lickman to talk about that, to give his opinion at
seven thirty five. I just happened to think that sometimes
he talks off the cuff, and many of the times
he should keep it to himself until he finds out
if it's legal. Another tragic air disaster in New York,
(00:50):
this one upstate, when a plane carrying a family of
four crashed on approach for landing. This comes, of course,
after that heartbreaking crash last week into the Hudson that
killed a family of five. The new US Attorney for
New Jersey, Alena Haba, has opened an investigation into Governor
(01:14):
Phil Murphy and Attorney General Matt Platkin and anyone else
who stands in the way of federal deportations.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
And I'm looking at you, Patterson, New Jersey. I will
be investigating you. And if you did commit a crime,
if you ordered obstruction, if you are ordering concealment and harboring,
you will be charged.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And it seems like the stunt worked. New Jersey Senator
Corey Booker broke the record for the longest speech in Congress.
Now he has jumped nine points and only trails Kamala
Harrison a poll of who Democrats want running for president
in four years or three and a half, three years
(01:55):
and so many months. Well, I ask editor in chief
of the National Review, Rich Lowry about that coming up.
It was only a ten minute flight, but the blue
Horizon trip into space, even though it only lasted those
ten minutes, was enough to change CBS anchor Gail King's life.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
The atc Control, I might even now get my ears pierced.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I've never got my.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Has that hurt, but I feel I walked out of
there thinking, gosh, I can do anything.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
We've got more on the historic shot into space coming
up in about ten minutes, and just a reminder that
today is tax day, either you get your tax filing
in or do like I do every year, get an extension.
Natalie Migliori will ask about the stress of tax Day
in her Beat on the Street at eight fifty. Man,
(02:48):
I was like to say, it's good to be back.
But I literally just got off a plane yesterday last
night into JFK and got back here. I was on
a trip to Italy with my wife, and I thought,
you know, I thought I could just tough it out
and I could come in the next day. Man, Man,
was that a mistake?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
You hurt?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I am? I am hurt, and of course, and then
yesterday we had drama. So I got in and I
thought I had plenty of time to get here, like
a lot of drama. And so my my family was
getting on a bus and they were they were going
back home, and I was going to stay in New
York overnight, and I had a hotel all set and
I was saying goodbye to them. I went outside and
said goodbye to them as they get on the bus,
(03:31):
and I ran to go to the bathroom before I
got a lyft to come into town. And when I
was done, when I washed my hands, I look around.
I can't find my I can't find my suitcase. It
was mister, yeah my suitcase. Well, I had in my
bag had so I didn't I didn't lose all of it.
Thank god, I didn't lose my passport. I didn't lose
(03:53):
my wallet and anything like that. Well, yeah, but my
my suitcase. So I I run and they I tell somebody.
I call on the phone. I go to baggage claim,
I go to lost luggage, I go to everything trying
to find it, and I can't find it. And finally
they called the police. And this nice guy is really
(04:14):
nice young cop, and I'm I'm going back and forth
on what his last name was. I should have written
it down, Mike, I said, Mike Miller. It might be
Mike Holmes. But he was he knows who he is,
and he was great. He was wonderful. So they actually
went in and they tracked through video my last hour
(04:37):
in the in the airflow getting through custom Are you Beyonce?
It was amazing. I mean, they they have me going
through customs, they have me saying goodbye to my family,
They have me going in the men's room, they have
me running around like a maniac looking for my bag.
(04:58):
It was incredible and and talking to everybody about it. Uh,
it turns out I didn't take my bag into the men.
Don't laugh.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
He was so tired.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Thank you, Jacqueline. That was very nice of you because
I felt like an idiot. Well enjoy that. So what happened? No,
I left it outside, and my son, being the great
guy he is, took it home.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
Because he probably thought so he wants me to take
the luggage home because you know, he's going to work.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
He doesn't need as.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Told I talk about it. I actually had talked about
that and then changed my mind that I wasn't going
to do that and.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Just didn't relay that message telepathically and he saw it
and then he took it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
So I just felt like an idiot, and you know
the So the cop then calls me and talks to
me about it. And now I was in the lift
when I called you right and told you the story.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Well, because I text, I sent you a text run
for something. I was like, oh, he must be back.
I'm like, hey, world traveling, how you doing? My luggage
was stole and I went through the whole drama until
he found it.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, the cop called me when I was on the
phone with you when the cop called me and and
went through the whole thing, and then he he detailed
everything I did, every store I went into, anything I did,
He all of it. It is amazing. They have every
inch of the airport covered with cameras.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I wish I had that in my house when I
lose something.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh, I know, wouldn't that be great?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Cat?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
You dancing around your pajamas holding your brush as a microphone.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
How did you know that? How do you know that?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I've always known that about you. It's written all over you.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So anyway, it was a wonderful trip. And uh, it
was a wonderful trip. And by the way, this trip
is put on by a company called Conservative Tours, and
it is it is. You're laughing.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
I thought I had my mic off. But it's so
fitting for you. It is, and I'm proud of that,
and so were all the people that were there. I'm
I mean, the whole idea of the tours are so
that someone who is conservative doesn't feel like they're an outcast.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, I mean the people's traveling.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Great to travel with people really like that.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Oh, I just thought it was something else, like it
was like a conservative like you know there was something
else conservative about it.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
No, I think it meant just what it says novatives.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
I thought it was like something else, like, you know,
they were very conservative with where they went or how.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Much they charged you or something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
So I was like, oh, oh, no, you you your
laughter was valified, validated. It was actually a conservatives political conservatives.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Oh I didn't realize that.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah. And it's amazing. It's put on by a guy
named Ken Chase. He's been doing it for twenty one years.
He actually ran against ran against Ted Kennedy for Senate
up in Massachusetts, and I said to him, I said,
oh my god, why would you do that? And he
said I was just carrying the batter. I knew I
was going to get killed. But he did debate him.
But any way, he did say, this is my wife's
(08:02):
in her station down in Philadelphia. I got to go
because of her. But he did say, you'd be interested
in war, So I.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Bet you our listeners would love to go on a trip.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Together, I think.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
So.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You can go to Conservative Tours dot com to check
it out and the phone numbers right there. And here's
the amazing thing about Kenny. He's been doing as as
I said, for twenty one years. He picks up the
phone himself. So if you call, you're going to get
the owner of the company. And so do me a
favor and call and say you'd love to go on
a trip with Larry MENTI that's who you'd like to
(08:35):
go on a trip with from WR because I would
love to go on one of these trips with you.
There's a trip to Normandy that I would love to
go on. And then it goes through battlefields, and Ken
is a historian, so Ken does the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
And from what you told me, this trip was you know,
first class, my beautiful hotels and wonderful tours and just
you know, NonStop amazing things. It sounds fantastic.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And they and the tour guides are Italian and have
lived there all their life and of tours all their life.
So we actually I'm going on too long about this,
I realized, but I was.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Just really, that's what happens after a trip.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, it was. It was really really impressed. The hotels
were like none. We were right on lakes with huge balconies.
That was our room, you know, And and they they
the tour guides would take us out every day to
go first of all, to some cities. That a city
called Bollagio that was out in Lake Cuomo, which is gorgeous,
(09:33):
just absolutely beautiful. Stressa is another one that we went
to and that's where the beautiful hotel was. It was
right on the lake. So anyway, Conservative tours dot Com
just let them know that you want to go on
a trip and uh because because you deserve it. You
deserve it on a trip.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Like that, Well, we're glad you're back though, a lot.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Of people, by the way, we're on the trip celebrate
celebrating anniversaries, celebrating getting married, celebrating all kinds of stuff.
So it's a it's a wonderful trip for that. And
you can give any political opinion you won if you're conservative,
because everybody will agree with you. Well, that's enough about that.
I went on a little bit too long, but I
just got back and I had kind of an ordeal
and I just thought i'd share it with all of you.
(10:12):
And how wonderful the tour was. Talk about a trip. Now,
this one was quick. It only took ten minutes into space,
but it has made history. We'll talk about the Blue
Horizon Short flight and you'll hear from some of the
famous passengers. Plus we have tickets to give away at
(10:32):
age twenty five. Oh wow, this is to see the
Doobie Brothers next. It's amazing. This is happening again. A
second Columbia University student who organized campus protest against the
war in Gaza. They've been arrested and detained by US
Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Mo San mal Dawi, a Palestinian
(10:54):
greed green card holder who was set to graduate from
Columbia in May, was taken by Ice. He is in
custody right now. They want him deported, and once again,
a federal judge in Vermont, this time issued an order
barring the government from moving Madali out of Vermont on
(11:15):
the US pending further reveal of the case. So he
can't take him out of Vermont or the US pending
further review of the case. It seems like district court
judges now are running the country and deciding our foreign policy.
For more on that, let's go to Jeffrey Licktman, high
profile criminal defense attorney and host of Beyond the Legal
(11:37):
Limit podcast found on the iHeartRadio app. Jeffrey, I'll just
ask you to take that and run with it.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
What do you think, Well, you know, if it's as
simple Larry as trying to deport non citizens who are
simply leading protests against the war, it sounds kind of
extreme to want to grab him and send them back
to whatever god forsaken Muslim terror dumps that they're from.
(12:06):
But that's not what's happening. What's happening is that these
are students that are pro Hamas and they're for a
Muslim terror group that's internationally prescribed, and they're causing mayhem
on college campuses. And that's really what it is. You know,
the free speech leftists will tell you, well, you know,
first Amendment, First Amendment, but that's not what's happening here. Now.
(12:27):
These are students that are fomenting the terrorism on campus.
They're causing violence. And with regard to the latest student
that was grabbed in Vermont, naturally he was in Vermont
because he knew that when he got grabbed that he
would have a leftist judge that would help him, which
is exactly what he did. But this is a student
that has been a college student, Larry since two thousand
(12:49):
and eight. He has been a college student now for
seventeen years and the reason that's the way you get
a green card. You just continue to be a student forever.
He's thirty four years old and he's graduating Columbia. This
is like his fifth university. So this is what they do.
They bring their disease over from this one is from Gaza,
(13:12):
or actually I think this one's from the West Bank.
He brings his disease over to America and he spreads
it whenever he can. So finally America with the president
who's had enough, mainly because the Jihada students went bonkers
after October seventh, they decided to grab these people and
send them back and listen, they can jihad and they
can hate Jews, and they can cause terrorism back in
(13:35):
their own places. They don't need to do it in America.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, because we've been
running down the list of things that these protests did.
The Jewish students were frightened to go out of their
dorm rooms, they were being harassed as they walked to class.
Classes were canceled because them. A building was taken over.
Three security guards were injured. So there's a whole list
you could go through all the criminal charges right there, Jeffy,
(14:00):
just because of that. So they did incite violence, and
they did harass students, and I think at the base
of this is anti Semitism.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Well, there's no question. I mean, it's all started after
October seventh. It's all been against Jewish people under the
guise of protesting a war. And there doesn't even have
to be any allegations of criminal activity. There doesn't have
to be any charges. Simply if you're a non citizen,
you can't destroy the campus, you can't harass students, you
can't disrupt classes or else. You've got to go back
(14:35):
to whatever islamis dump that you're from. And that's you know.
And if we can I hate to segue for you, lud,
but if we can segue into the grabbing of funds,
the stopping of federal funds that just came out against Harvard,
and Harvard pushing back against President Trump saying no, we're
not going to abide by the conditions that you're putting
on the federal funding, the billions of dollars that you
(14:58):
give us each year. And you know, I can understand
Harvard's response. They said, look, we're angry about this. And
we're not going to give in to Trump. We're not
going to do the conditions that you're insisting in order
for us to get this federal funding, because some of
the stuff, Larry, is pretty extreme that Trump's administration wants.
They want to have an audit of what the students
(15:19):
and professors are thinking and how they're acting. They want
to see all of the decisions on admissions and where
the kids are coming from, and who was denied admission
and who was granted. When you look at it, if
you just look at it in a vacuum, Larry, you're thinking,
my god, what is the federal government doing. It's a
little bit too big brotherish. But then when you actually
(15:40):
see that, it's not in a vacuum. And all of
this occurred after October seventh and all the violence on campus,
not only from the Jahada students that they let in
and why did they let them in, but also from
the professors. And what Harvard is basically saying is, look,
you want to stop two billion, up to maybe nine
billion and funding. We're willing to give that up in
(16:02):
order for us to be able to hate Jews on campus.
It's that important for us to hate Jews and cause
violence on campus. We're willing to give up the two billion.
All the Trump administration wants is they want some action
from Harvard. When this was going on and the campus
was being overrun by these Jihadas and the violence was occurring,
you couldn't hear a peep from the Harvard administration. Now,
(16:27):
all of a sudden, when they're going to lose their funding,
suddenly they found their voice. But back then, when this
was going on, they didn't do a damn thing to
stop the Jihadis. And now when they're being forced to
pay for it, they're like, no, Now, First Amendment, and
we should be able to say it. We want. You
know what, as far as I'm concerned, Larry, all of
these universities, they're almost every one of them is the
(16:48):
IVY League. We've got Northwestern, We've got Georgietown, you know,
all of them, all the top schools, they're overrun by jahadas, students,
jahadas professors. What Trump is doing is a wonderful thing.
It shouldn't be partial federal funding being withdrawn. It should
be all let these universities. Harvard's got a fifty three billion,
fifty three billion with a B Larry Endowment. Let them
(17:12):
use that money and from all their rich alumni who
still want to fund the Jahadis University. Let them figure
out how to do all of this life saving research
without the FEDS. My view is, just drain them of money,
starve them, make it so that they can no longer
function as a university. They can all disappear, and in
the ashes we can arise new universities that are not
(17:35):
filled with this garbage, with this filth, with this disease
from radical Muslim countries.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Wow, I want to see you in court, that's what hell.
I want to see you doing all this in court
and it has to be fun. Yeah, next time you
have a big case, I want to go. I didn't
get to talk to you about Alina Habba. Next time.
She's doing a great job.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Next time.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Jeffrey Lektivin, high profile criminal defense attorney, host of Beyond
the Legal Limit podcast found on the iHeartRadio app. Thanks
a lot, Jeffrey. So here's a headline that will get
your attention. Newly released CIA files about aliens attacking Soviet
forces go viral. So it says the Red Army soldiers
(18:14):
were allegedly turned into the limestone pillars by extraterrestrials in
revenge for shooting down their spacecraft over Siberia. Now that's
really as much as I know about the story from
just reading that. I knew nothing about it. But I
do know someone who's going to know a lot about it,
(18:34):
and that's the UFO maestro himself, Joe Bartlett, former wo
R news director. So what is Is there anything real
to this? Joe?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Of course it's real?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Okay, what says? I'll tell you why? I say, yeah,
it's well, except that it's just a synopsis of a
published report in the Canadian weekly World News.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Well, it's as believable as anything you're getting from the
White House these days.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So here we go. I thought we for once, I
thought we could talk about something else. Can we just
talk about something rational like UFOs for a second.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Look at I truly believe there is something out there
that we have been visited, and we do have evidence,
and I think it's it's within President Trump's perview to
release that information and give the Americans the honest truth.
Here we're not alone.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Can we can we take that audio? Because he just
said something nice about Donald Trump and the new version
of Joe Bartlett hasn't said a nice thing about Donald
Trump now for months.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Wow. Since we're on that, let's get to the town,
because go ahead, go ahead is yours. Look, I don't
know about what's going on here. It's scary if you
ask me. This is even Rich Lowry I heard him
just a few minutes ago. This is kind of an
irrational approach to a problem that really, you know, I mean,
(20:03):
it didn't hurt us. It probably could be fixed. But
to take this approach is scary, and I'm worried about
my retirement income. The market up and down is very scary,
and it looks like this really wasn't well thought out.
It's Trump going with his gut. And when he goes
(20:23):
with his gut, keep in mind that this is a
guy that likes well done steak with ketchup, diet coke
and ice cream. So that's the gut. What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I don't get that sounds delicious?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, okay, Well, anyway, there's a lot of uncertainty right now,
and that's not good. I'm not that's not good.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
No, I'll agree with you, and as I agreed with
Rich Lowry to an extent that he didn't have to
do with so hamhandedly. And I think the reason he
did it that way, Joe, was because he wanted to
get this over with quickly. He wanted to get it
over with before the midterms, thinking it would only it
would hurt his poll numbers for a year and Republicans
poll numbers for a year. But you're right, that's risky
(21:04):
because that means it has to work and other countries
have to play ball with you. That's not necessarily going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, I think one of the biggest mistakes he made
is to alienate our European allies. You know, if you
have the big issue with China and then join forces
with the EU and go and make a better deal
with China together. But now what he's done, he's driven
China into the hands of the EU, into places like
Vietnam and all these other countries where we have this
(21:34):
trade and balance. I mean, it's not it's haphazard if
you ask me, And I don't think he can win.
And the other thing, this is a long game, right,
This isn't going to happen overnight. Firms aren't going to
move here, and within six months we're going to have
a beautiful economy and no trade balance. And I don't
think Trump can play the long game. China can, so yeah,
(21:57):
and the trouble ahead.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, the EU can't. Though the EU has already come
at the table and said I love their proposal of
free trade just as zero percent all throughout for the
United States and the EU. I love that idea. I
guess Donald Trump doesn't like it for some reason because
the negotiations continue. But that would be great, don't you agree?
If and if that happened, would you admit that it
(22:19):
was that part at least was a success.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Well, yes, if we get free trade, no tariffs with
the EU, that would be a major victory. We still
have the China problem. But look at I know you
and I know Mark Simon all think that Trump is
a genius and this is all going to work out
in the end. And maybe it will, but we'll see.
At the moment, I'm not confident.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
No, I would just admitted to you I have some
trepidation about this as well. I think that he took
on too much too fast, and I do think there
is a tariff problem, and I he Reagan was talking
about a tariff problem. Every president's talked about it, and
so I like the fact that he's bold enough to
take this on. I don't know why he had to
do it all at once. That's the only ring, the
(23:07):
only problem. Yes, he look at that. Wow, you know, go.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Ahead, Let's move on to something else.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Sure, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Donald Trump wanted to put CBS out of business because
he didn't like a sixty minutes YE show.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Do you believe that he really wants to put CBS
out of business?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
He said it. We believe everything he says.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Larry No, I think he say. I think he says
these things for a couple of reasons. He wants to
make a point. First of all, it wouldn't be covered
if he said something else, so it's going to be
covered by everybody. I think he loves to play a
troll too. I think he loves to drive the left crazy.
And so there's been so many of these and everybody
(23:46):
reacts like you just did. Everybody reacts to it and
talks about it, and then it covers up for the tariffs,
then it covers up for other things. He is a master,
I think, at playing the media in this game. And
I think you would even agree with that right, that
he is master at saying no, no, look over here,
this is the important thing. Look over here. He does
it all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
You know, rather have a calm, rational president as somebody
who's like a three ring circus that you know, hook
over here, Look over there, I got this here, Come
over here. You know, it doesn't give me a feeling
of confidence, especially when you know this the markets are
going up and down and I look, I'm gonna fixed income. Now.
(24:30):
This is important to me that I not lose my
four oh one K or my investments. And oh, by
the way, did you see him in the Oval office
last week where he introduced Charles Schwab to these NASCAR
guys And he says, Charles Schwab, this guy made two
billion dollars in the market during the dip. And how
