Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning to you. I'm sorry about that drizzle today.
I'm supposed to be off and on throughout the day, didn't.
I don't think it hurt anybody driving in. I certainly
didn't have any problem driving in. But you know, it's
just going to be a little bit nasty. Hopefully the
weekend is going to be that much better. In the
Big Three today, the new Paul is out that shows
(00:21):
the New York Mayor's race just keeps getting tighters. Zorin
mom Donnie is closer to Andrew Cuomo than he ever
has been, and that's forced front runner Andrew Cuomo out
of hiding to propose an increase in the minimum wage
twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
That is the fair wage, and that's what we want,
and that's what we're going to get past.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is out with his plan to
modernize air traffic control at Newark Liberty International first, but
then across the country. But first, he says, he has
to fix everything the Biden administration did.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
The last administration moved the Newark air space from N
ninety down to the Philly traecon and these lines were
not built, they didn't use fiber and now we're dealing
with that today in real time.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Right, the old copper wirings stayed in place, and that's
what caused those streams to go off and many of
the problems at Newark International. The President will not impose
new sanctions against Russia for its attacks on Ukraine during
peace talks, at least not yet.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Only the fact that if I think I'm close to
getting a deal, I don't want to screw it up
by doing that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Elon Musk doesn't like Trump's big beautiful bill. I think
it both can be can be big or it can
be beautiful. I don't know if it could be both.
My close opinion, Yeah, his problem seems to be the
problem that many of the conservatives in the Senate has,
and that's why it's going to change. They're saying it's
(01:59):
gonna small changes. I think it's actually going to change
significantly because they say it adds way too much to
the debt, something the Democrats never had a problem with.
But there are some conservatives that are hardliners about this,
including Rand Paul. So I think it's going to change.
And Jake Tapper now is doing a complete one pint
eighty on President Biden's mental decline and the cover up.
(02:24):
He is now saying it is the worst scandal since Watergate,
may be bigger than Watergate. Real quick. Let's get to
that pole that we talked about a moment ago. From
this is Emerson and the Hill Pole, and it shows
now Cuomo with thirty five percent. Now realize that recently
(02:46):
he's been going up over forty percent, so thirty five
percent is low. But Zorin Mamdani keeps sneaking up on him,
ever so slightly. But this is twenty three percent now,
so that's twelve points. It's as I said yesterday in
(03:06):
my final thoughts, it's time to really start paying attention
to Zorn Mamdani and talk about what he would do
to the city. And the fact that, you know, everybody
calls him a socialist. He calls himself a socialist democrat,
So we can get the democrat in there somewhere. You know,
he's close to being a communist, and so Andrew Cuomo,
who has been in hiding. And I don't even blame
(03:28):
him because he's so far in front, or was so
far in front that he didn't have to make appearances.
All he could do is screw up. He was so
far ahead it was almost a fat of compleet. Well,
now he's out, and yesterday he was out with a
new proposal. What do you do when you're behind in
the polls? You buy votes. And so now he is
(03:51):
recommending an increase in the minimum wage twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
That is the fair wage, and that's what we want,
and that's what going to get passed.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And this is what cracks me up. So, Mom, Donnie,
really quick was out again. Not twenty thirty dollars minimum way, no, because.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
When you look at the statistics of what is a
living wage in New York City today, it already is
close to thirty dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Is it anywhere close to thirty dollars an hour? Can
I get a job? I think what he was saying
is that's what you need as a living wage, But
it's certainly come came out like we're already close to that.
We're already close to thirty dollars an hour. Wow, that
was mom, Donnie. Yeah, he's telling you a zip it. Yep,
(04:42):
that's not what I said.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Weep.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You wouldn't if be great, if they had a button
they were able to do that like that anyway. I
was saying this in the final Thoughts yesterday, and that
is or in mom Donnie's not a joke anymore. It's
not something to laugh at. He's not just a cautionary tail.
He is really coming on. And here's what frightens me
(05:05):
the most about him. I don't think he's going to
win the Democratic primary because if you look at the
breakdown of the poll numbers, his support is limited. The
scary thing is a lot of people don't even know
who he is. And I say that's scary because he
could potentially get a lot of those votes once they
learn who he is. But his support among blacks and
(05:28):
his support among the Hispanic is low. It's all well
to do white people or young white people. That's almost
all of his support. Very very liberal white people are
supporting him. But I'll tell you what, in a crowded
field and in this election, so he will be a
(05:50):
crowded field, not only for the Democratic primary, but it
will be a crowded field in the general election with
all the independence and of their and third parties running.
And they have pretty good candidates, including Mayor Adams and
zorin Mom Donni. So you know anyway, it's time to
start talking about him a lot more and talking about
(06:13):
the problems with him and talking about why he cannot
be mayor of New York. It would be the no
matter what you think of Andrew Cuoma, well, no matter
what you think of Eric Adams, at least they know
the game and at least they know what the status
quo is and they know not to fudge you with
it too much. But Zor in Mam Donni wants to
change everything and the city would go broke under what
(06:37):
he's talking about doing. New York International Airport Sean Duffy
gave an update, and Duffy spoke he said, you know,
his plan is for the entire country. He wants to
update the entire country's air traffic control system so that
it's the best in the world, because it really hasn't
been touched. Depending on what you're talking about, depending on
(07:00):
whether it's the fiber, depending on whether it's the lines
of communication or the radar. Some of it hasn't been
changed in fifty years, others forty years. But it's old
and it has to be upgraded.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
We're going to go through a laborious process on testing
to make sure when we flip it over, we don't
have any disruption. And so the FA is going to
use an abundance of caution and I think that's appropriate,
which is why we're going to go back to the
end of June early July if all goes well.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, that's for Newark Airport. So they already have made
the changes. That was quick. I mean the fact that
they were able to. Did you know that they ran
an entire fiber line all the way from Philadelphia to
Newark already and they wanted to put it right in
the process. Right now, let's just do it, and the
(07:54):
as you just heard from Duffy, the FAA came out
and said, no, no, no, no, let's be safe about this.
Let's test it a few times before we actually do it.
So it's going to be it's going to be the
end of June sometime into July. But if you remember,
it was the copper that caused all of the screens
to go out that burnt. The copper burned the fiber
(08:18):
will never do that, And so he couldn't believe when
he got in there they were actually using copper wiring.
As for the flights, they're going to still have reduced flights.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
On average in Newark, they're running about fifty fifty four
flights and our for departures, we've brought that down right now,
departures are at twenty eight an hour. Okay, when when
the new runway comes online June fifteenth, we're going to
(08:52):
bump that from twenty eight to thirty four.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's going to stay that way.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Until October until we bring these controllers up to speed
and add them to the airspace.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So they have sixteen controllers that they want to add
just to Newark. Sixteen new controllers, which will bring them
a little bit over what the minimum requirement is. And
again they're being trained. They're close to the end of
the process. They've already passed through all of the hurdles
(09:23):
that they have to go through and most don't make
it through. So these are sixteen of the best and
they're going to be at Newark Airport and that's when
they're going to be back. And so it's not going
to be to the fall, but everything will be back slowly.
They're going to bring flights back, but everything will be
back by then. But Sean Duffy wants you to remember
he inherited this.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
The last administration moved the Newark air Space from N
ninety down to the Philly traecon and these lines were
not built, they didn't use fiber, and now we're dealing
with that today.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
In real time, you get to the point when you
hear all of this stuff about what the Trump administration inherited.
Did Biden do anything right? I mean everything he touched,
even the stuff that he tell died. You know, the
infrastructure bill turned out to be a nightmare at the time,
(10:15):
even Republicans were on board. But everything seems to go
back to Biden. Have you seen comedian Jim Gaffigan recently?
He lost a lot of weight. None like other celebrities,
he has no problem letting you know how he did it.
Here for yourself. Next plus tickets to see the Doobie
Brothers at eight twenty five and you have to leave
a talk back to get Amante in the morning T shirt,
(10:37):
which everybody wants. When I leave work, there's people outside
asking for one. I have them all locked up. Yeah. Yeah,
they have to be, I mean because people would take
them here. You know what the people here are like.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
I saw some knockoffs in the street next to the
Louis Vuitton bags on Canal Street not too long ago.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
What were they going for?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I couldn't even bring myself to look. I mean the
bags which are sitting there. The shirts were flying off
the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It is amazing how everybody wants one and you can
get one easy just by being the best talk back
of the morning. You go to seven to ten wor
on the iHeartRadio app, you look for the talk back feature,
hit the microphone, and then you're on the air.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Hey, Larry.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
On a different note, I do like to know why
the credit card companies are passing on to four percent
to the restaurants and the restaurants are passing it on
to us as customers. It's not there full, it's the
credit card company's full. If I don't have cash on
me and I use my debit card, my debit card
is used the same as cash. Why am I getting
charged a four percent fee for using a debit card?
(11:43):
I don't think it should be the same, and I
think we should all be doing something about it.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
You know what it it shouldn't be the same. Well,
you can do something about it. You can pay cash.
You can go take some cash out of the you know,
if you're gonna use a debit card, what cash? If
you're gonna use a debit card anyway, I mean, that's
the way to fight that. You can get you use
some difficult anyway. You go to an ATM, you get
some cash, and then you pay, right, I mean, that's
the way around that.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
That's not going to work, no, because it's you want
to carry that lieu of carrying cash.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I get it. But if you know you're going to
go out to dinner, I mean you can. He just
asked for a solution. I gave you that way you
won't have to pay it. I think it's ridiculous, but
this is happening in every industry. Every service industry is
sneaking fees in right. The airlines are disgusting, ridiculous. They're ridiculous.
(12:35):
You think you have a good rate and then sometimes
you go to the airport and they change the fee.
Like you go thinking you have to pay one fee.
You get there, they change the baggage fee and the
baggage depends on the size of the bags. And everything
you do, everything you get is now charged for. Why
(12:56):
use the bathroom? Wouldn't that be amazing if I would
have hit a little thing on there. You had to
have a corner. Yeah, but I look the restaurants. I
get you. I get you because sometimes you don't even
think of that. You don't think about going out to
get money. You don't think about and you think your
debit card of course is safe because the money comes
(13:16):
directly from it. But yeah, that's a new thing. Some restaurants,
I will tell you don't charge so in lieu of
going to get cash, which was wholeheartedly rejected in this room,
then go ahead and find a restaurant that doesn't charge
you the fees. There are some out there. There are
still some restaurants out there that won't charge the fees,
(13:38):
so ask ahead of time.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Hey, good morning guys. I don't know if anybody touched
on this yet with Tiss James, but New Yorkers should
be absolutely outraged by the secret writing that they happen
to put into the new bill up in Albany, Hope
and the legislators up there. So Tis James is going
(14:04):
to have a defense fond funded by none other than
the taxpayers. It's outrageous.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, I'm glad you put her in out. We talked
about it when it first happened. That's in the new budget.
And it happened. Here's what is so suspicious about it.
It happened right when they talked about charges against Letis James.
It was added it seems it should be the the
Letics James writer, because it seems so obvious they're doing
(14:35):
it just for this reason. I'll tell you what. Politicians
don't always look out for us, but they look out
for each other. It's like organized crime. They really try
to help. Now, let's get to each other, not us. Now,
let's get to Jim Gaffigan. Now, Jim Gaffigan, I'm a
huge fan of him. I think he's very, very very funny.
(14:57):
He's also very very very big. But he you know,
that's part of his act, to take of the truth.
He talks about that all of the time. The fact
that he is a little bit heavier. Half his act
is down gone. He's lost fifty pounds. Have you seen him.
He looked wonderful, looks very healthy. He really did. He
says he feels better.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
It's great because my knees don't hurt standing up. I'm
less exhausted. But it's I don't know, yeah, it's it's
it's always good, you know, like a health benefits, like
I'll live longer there. But I love it just because
I feel better.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, I got to try that. I gotta try losing
a little weight so I can feel better. My knees hurt. Man,
It's hard to do though, once she's once you gain weight.
I've been thinning all my life and just recently the
last few years. I head a weight. Well, nobody cares now,
you know what, though, I would absolutely do what he
did if I could afford it.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
I did appetite suppressence. So it's not like I can
even take any pride in it. Brave enough to stick
a needle in my god, you know what I mean. So,
but it's it is great.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
It's beneficial, good for him in coming out, and he
should take pride in it because he did something to
help his health.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, and he admits it, and I hate it all.
Did Kelly Clarkson ever admit it? Yet? You know what,
I understand, it's a personal thing.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
I understand if you don't want to, it's nobody's business.
But you know what, if you're comfortable with it, and
you could share a way that you're making yourself healthier,
that maybe somebody else can do as well, go for it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I think it ruined Oprah, the fact that she didn't
come out right away, because she's always been so honest
and all out for him. And then no, I don't
know how, like you're just exercised. Now, let's get to
Jacqueline carl with the six thirty News, Jacqueline, Good Morning.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Many of President Trump's sweeping tariffs are being blocked by
a court. The US Court of International Trade ruled Wednesday
that an emergency law does not provide Trump with the
authority to impose tariffs on nearly every country. Our futures
jump more than four hundred points following the news, and
former New York Covenor Andrew Cuomo is making a new
(17:06):
proposal as he continues leading the pool of candidates for
New York City's Democratic mayoral primary.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
A one reaction from labor workers as Cuomo vowed to
raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hour, saying
he knows one way to get it done.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
We organize the working men and women of this city.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
He says, putting more money in people's pockets is the
best way to combat affordability, adding increasing wages will improve
economic activity. It all comes as a new poll from
his opponent, Zoran mam Donnie shows Cuomo with forty percent
of votes. Meantime, Public Advoca Jimani Williams is backing Brad
Lander and Adrian Adams ahead of the upcoming June twenty
fourth primary.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Natalie MCGLIORI wr news. These studies are making us crazy,
aren't they?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
All?
Speaker 10 (17:54):
Right?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
So I found one of the posts and I thought, oh,
this this could be interesting because the thea was certain
foods can reverse aging. I'm like, well, get me those foods.
New research suggests. Now it's down to New research suggests
that eating certain plant based foods could help slow biological aging.
So a lot of factors can impact biological age as
(18:16):
we know genetics, environmental exposures, sleep, habits, stress management, and diet.
And in this small study of forty three middle aged men,
as I read on, I'm like getting less and forty
three middle aged men for eight weeks, those who ate
more turmeric, rosemary, garlic, berries, and drank green tea or
oolong tea saw a bigger reduction in biological age. I
(18:40):
don't know how they manage this in two months, but
I could tell you a funny story about turmeric. I
was like buying some makeup and this girl's putting this
cream on my face and she kept saying excitedly, and
they've added turmeric and they've added tumeric. And this was
a while ago. So finally I said, oh, so, what
does the turmeric do? She goes, I don't know. She's
like twenty one at the mago, but she kept telling
(19:01):
me like, oh my god, they've had a turmeric on.
So finally I felt like I had to say, what
does it do?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I don't know, And we still don't know. I don't know,
but I just because he didn't turn you orange, because
tumoric has a very distinct color to it.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
I know, but like who knows. Like this cream was
this face cream was white. It supposedly had tumerics. Supposedly,
I don't know. It's supposed to get gets rid of
any kind of spots or something.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I don't know. These fads are amazing. My wife is
into every single one of them. We get Amazon packages
all the time. Probably one of them was turmeric. I
don't even look anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
I try some of them, but then I just you know, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Know, it's hot for like a couple of weeks or
maybe a month.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
And then one mushroom Have you heard of that? Natalie
lines Maine mushroom. So the mushroom coffee thing, I don't
get that. But they're supposed to be so good for you,
but I think it depends on which ones you get
and where you get them from.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Don't you think there's like a whole big marketing department
going all right, turmeric is one, of course, what's next? Yes,
that's next now through mushroom coffee without fail. Absolutely, Thanks
so much, Jacquelincaro. When we come back, i'll talk a
little bit about this court ruling that is blocking the
tariffs and tell you why it's not going to stick,
(20:12):
because yes, it is constitutional, but there's been several congressional
rulings since then that gave all that power to the
executive branch. So we'll talk about that in a second.
And also Donald Trump says he is not going to
impose sanctions speaking of sanctions on Russia yet, but he
says time is running out. He spoke on a lot
of topics yesterday. You can hear for yourself next and
(20:34):
don't forget. You can leave us a talk back all
Morning Long. Go to seven ten WR on the iHeartRadio
app and click the microphone and when you're there, put
seven to ten WOOR in your presets. Plus the most
important thing, you could win a limited edition MENTI in
the Morning T shirt, which will be awarded each day
to our favorite talkback of the morning. Well, Donald Trump'm
(20:55):
sure to talk a lot about a lot of things yesterday,
and he does that all the time, I mean, unlike Biden,
unlike any president. Really, I don't think I think he
has been the most accessible president in history, and I
don't think anybody Democrat or Republican would argue with that.
Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. But well, I guess
it's always good. It's what democracy should be about. But
(21:17):
so before we get to him and all of the
things he talked about yesterday, let's talk about this ruling
by a three judge panel at the New York based
Court of International Trade that is stopping the tariffs, of
stopping the president doing this tariffs. Now, what they claim
is that the Constitution gives unlimited power to Congress and
(21:39):
no power to the executive branch, which, by the way,
if this ruling was made in nineteen thirty, they would
have been exactly right. Before nineteen thirty, all of the
power on tariffs went to Congress. The president didn't get
involved at all. And then they found out in nineteen
thirty that that is unworkable. So they passed the Smooth
(22:03):
Harley Tariff Act of nineteen thirty, which delegated much of
the power to the president. But that wasn't it because
it still wasn't working. This shared power over tariffs wasn't working.
So you have that that in nineteen thirty four, they
passed the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act that authorized the president,
(22:27):
gave them unilateral power to negotiate trade agreements and make
tariff adjustments. So unless they want to get rid of
that legislation, I don't know. I don't know how a
court that specifically talks about trade didn't know all this
didn't know all of this legislation that's passed them before.
(22:50):
And by the way, this isn't the end of it.
It goes on and on and on. Congress just kept
giving power to the executive branch. There was the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act. There was an act in nineteen
sixty two called the Trade Expansion Act that gave more
power to the president. There was an act in nineteen
(23:11):
seventy four. It was Section two one of the Trade
Act of nineteen seventy four that gave more power to
the executive branch. Over and over and over, Congress has
given up this power, and nobody challenged it under Biden.
Nobody challenged it under Obama, nobody challenged it under Clinton.
One of the Bushes. By the way, they're just challenging
(23:32):
it now because the only thing they believe they still
have is to do is to fight everything Donald Trump does.
That's it. Even though they lost the eblection and lost
every swing state and lost the popular vote because of
(23:53):
what they wanted to do, and people wanted all of this.
He ran on saying the tariffs were unfair. People wanted this.
They're imposing themselves. And my question is when is the
Supreme Court could have put an end to this. They've
already come out, Even Atlanta Kagan came out, Even liberal
(24:15):
judges came out and said, this is unsustainable. We can't
have these district court judges. We can't have these smaller
court judges ruling on this kind of stuff setting national policy.
This is unsustainable. It's not supposed to happen this way.
(24:36):
You talk about the president over extending his powers, which
he's not. He was given these powers by Congress, the
Supreme Court, the district court judges have over extended their powers.
And here's where I get this about the Democrats every
single time. Here's why they're so dumb. So they're doing
(24:59):
this now, giddy and they're high fiving each other in
the back rooms. You know we're gonna have a democratic president.
And you don't think this exact same thing unless the
Supreme Court gets involved, is gonna happen to you. Of
course it is, of course it is. There's no foresight.
(25:21):
You don't fool up. There's nobody in the room that says, hey,
this might be a bad idea. We shouldn't use the courts.
We shouldn't go after the courts to stop the executive branch,
especially district courts, because the same thing's gonna be used
on us. No, there's no foresight. It's just stop Trump,
Stop Trump, Trump, Tump. That's all they have. I'll stop Trump.
(25:45):
But please look it up for yourself. There's been a
whole lot of times where the congressional branch has given
that power through legislation to the executive branch. So he's
on pretty good standing on this. Yesterday a wide ranging
(26:05):
news conference. Let's talk about that a little bit. You know,
this is going to play out in the courts now
and it's going to delay the tariffs, and the tariff
by the way, the tariff increases were working and it
was going to make America richer again. Even the EU
was going to settle. So now we have the EU,
when we have India, and we have so many countries
that were coming forward, China which are the big surprise.
(26:26):
But now that has to stop. Now that has to stop. Oh,
the Democrats got their way. They hurt the country once again.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Did you warn a premise or net Nyahu against taking
some sort of actions that.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Could disrupt the talks there in a phone call last week?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Well, I'd like to be honest, yes I did.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
He's talking about the Iranian nuclear power talks, the fact
that he thinks he's extremely close to getting Iran to
agree to get rid of their nuclear program in exchange
for lifting sanctions and allowing them to come back into
the rest of the world. And so Net and Yahoo
(27:06):
was talking about bombing Iran and there you go. The
President threatened him and told him to stop. As for Putin, we're.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Working on President Putin, and we'll see where we are.
I think we're doing fine, but we'll see. I don't
like what's happening. That's one thing I'll say. I don't
like when I see rockets being shot into cities.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
That's no good. Yeah, he's trying to end the war
and trying to end the war. By the way, every
time he fails, Democrats cheer, yes, oh yay, he didn't
end the war. We get the forgetting who started these wars.
This isn't my war.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
This is Biden's war, Zelenski's war, and Putin's war. This
isn't Trump's war. I'm only here for one thing, to
see if I can end it, to save five thousand
lives a week and a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Just keep letting them do stupid things, because the ye'ar
too smart. The American people were too smart. The American
people see through all of this. They want strength, They
want America first, and that's what Donald Trump provides, not
the weakness of the past administration. Speaking of the past administration,
one of the big criticisms of the Jake Tapper Alex
(28:12):
Thompson investigative book in the Biden White House is that
they never gave up names who was covering for his
mental decline? Well, now they are here, who was behind
the cover up? Next, I'll tell you what I feel
good about the media Again, they really are on top
of this Biden scandal. I saw a couple of this,
(28:33):
A couple of the networks had Biden Gate up. I
thought to myself, Oh, oh, they put Gate at the end.
It's officially a scandal. So this isn't going away. There
is going to be as we've been talking about on
the air now for a couple of years, pushing for
an investigation of this. This is going to be investigated.
There are going to be answers that are demanded at
(28:57):
this Jake Tapper, Alex Thompson book, Alex Thompson from Axios,
Jake Tapper from CNN. Original Sin. That's just the first
of many. So we're gonna know a whole lot more.
Although I heard the Original Sin is tremendous and it's
number one in the New York Times bestsellers list right now,
and I've just started it yesterday, So I'll talk about
it when I When I finish it. But this isn't
(29:20):
going away. This this is this is going to be
a big scandal. And what we don't know, my feeling is,
is going to shock us. The extent of Biden's mental
decline and the fact that there was a couple of
people that were running the country that we didn't know,
(29:41):
that we didn't elect, that probably most of them weren't
even confirmed by Congress. They just got in the White
House because they linked themselves to a guy of diminishing
mental capabilities. And near the end in the book they
called them zombie in chief. That was people in the
White House. That's not me, that's people in the White
(30:01):
House that call them that. And so Jake Tapper, after
denying this for so long and after defending the president
and after shooting down anyone that tried to point out
the obvious what all of America was seeing, now he's
seeing in a completely different tune.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
It is a scandal.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yes, it is. It is. It is.
Speaker 10 (30:24):
It is without question, and maybe even worse than Watergate
in some way, right because Richard Nixon was in control
of his faculties when he wasn't drinking. And you know,
so the idea that yeah, we don't. We don't mean
to exonerate. It's not Watergate. This is an entirely separate scandal,
maybe even worse. I maybe even worse now.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Coming up, I'm excited to talk to her. Coming up
after the news is Brianna Lyman. She is a correspondent
at the Federalist and I was watching her on TV
the last few weeks and she's been all over this
and talking about this, and she raised a great point.
As a matter of fact, they played sound with her
from a couple of days ago where somebody she was
(31:06):
talking about the book, and she said at one point
she said, look, we all knew. We all knew that
he had diminished mental capabilities. We all knew that they
were covering up the only thing we didn't know. So
nothing in the Taper book was new. We all knew it.
(31:28):
We didn't know the names. And what's the one thing
that Jake Tapper Cape kept from us and Alex Thompson
kept from us the names. We need names. And apparently
I wasn't the only person to hear that, because that's
been catching on now and everybody has been demanding the name.
So Alex Thompson in a Pierce Morgan interview out of
(31:50):
nowhere started naming names in terms of who was running
the White House.
Speaker 11 (31:56):
It's a small group of people that have been around
some people with an administry. Called them the Pullet Bureau.
Mike Donaldan Biden's longtime political liaison, Steve Chetti, who was
sort of the legislative liaison, plus like a friend Bruce
Reid at times depending on his situation with the Biden people,
Ron Klain. And then there are some people outside the
(32:17):
Pollet Bureau that are closer to family, which would be
obviously Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, but then Jill's main chief
of staff, Anthony Bernall, and sort of his sort of
like deputy in some ways, Annie Thomasini, who is often
Biden's traveling chief of staff.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
All of them, every single one of them, should be
in front of Congress. Every one of them should be
investigated by the FBI. Every one of them dishonored this country,
every single one of them for keeping this a secret.
None of them were elected. Not one of them were elected.
Not one of those names that you just heard there
(32:51):
were approved by Congress. Not one went through a nomination process,
and yet they were running the country because Biden wasn't
capable of it. And John Loved, who is a longtime
political He does the podcast pod Saved for the World.
He was one of the top advisors doing the Obama administration.
(33:14):
He visited Biden in the White House and he said
he knew about the capabilities that were diminishing. He saw
it firsthand. But he said he understands why the rest
of them were doing what they do because they wanted
to hold on the power. And he said it as if,
of course, duh, you want to hold in the power,
(33:38):
you want to win the next election.
Speaker 12 (33:39):
Who is rambling and he was hard to follow and
he repeated a story but then we were assured by
people around him that he was just exhausted. I remember feeling,
I want to talk about this as a huge liability.
I want to talk about this as something Joe Biden
can overcome. But I'm not going to go so far
as to say I think Joe Biden must drop out.
He is too old to be president. Hey, because I
(34:00):
didn't know exactly what was going on behind the scenes,
but b if Joe Biden is the candidate I wanted
to win.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I want to win, So they were willing to hurt
the country because they wanted to win. They were willing
to keep a huge secret from us where we couldn't
understand why things were going so poorly, why wars were starting,
why the border was wide open, why inflation was running rampant,
(34:28):
why gas prices were ridiculous, And you couldn't blame Biden.
What did hurt? Call him a sympathetic old man with
a failing memory. We talked about Brianna Lyman. She is
coming up next because that Jake Tapper book uncovered a lot,
but Brianna Lyman from The Federalist says it failed to
(34:50):
uncover the one thing we really needed. We just talked
about that. We'll talk to her about it right after
the seven o'clock news
Good morning to you. I'm sorry about that drizzle today.
I'm supposed to be off and on throughout the day, didn't.
I don't think it hurt anybody driving in. I certainly
didn't have any problem driving in. But you know, it's
just going to be a little bit nasty. Hopefully the
weekend is going to be that much better. In the
Big Three today, the new Paul is out that shows
(00:21):
the New York Mayor's race just keeps getting tighters. Zorin
mom Donnie is closer to Andrew Cuomo than he ever
has been, and that's forced front runner Andrew Cuomo out
of hiding to propose an increase in the minimum wage
twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
That is the fair wage, and that's what we want,
and that's what we're going to get past.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is out with his plan to
modernize air traffic control at Newark Liberty International first, but
then across the country. But first, he says, he has
to fix everything the Biden administration did.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
The last administration moved the Newark air space from N
ninety down to the Philly traecon and these lines were
not built, they didn't use fiber and now we're dealing
with that today in real time.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Right, the old copper wirings stayed in place, and that's
what caused those streams to go off and many of
the problems at Newark International. The President will not impose
new sanctions against Russia for its attacks on Ukraine during
peace talks, at least not yet.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Only the fact that if I think I'm close to
getting a deal, I don't want to screw it up
by doing that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Elon Musk doesn't like Trump's big beautiful bill. I think
it both can be can be big or it can
be beautiful. I don't know if it could be both.
My close opinion, Yeah, his problem seems to be the
problem that many of the conservatives in the Senate has,
and that's why it's going to change. They're saying it's
(01:59):
gonna small changes. I think it's actually going to change
significantly because they say it adds way too much to
the debt, something the Democrats never had a problem with.
But there are some conservatives that are hardliners about this,
including Rand Paul. So I think it's going to change.
And Jake Tapper now is doing a complete one pint
eighty on President Biden's mental decline and the cover up.
(02:24):
He is now saying it is the worst scandal since Watergate,
may be bigger than Watergate. Real quick. Let's get to
that pole that we talked about a moment ago. From
this is Emerson and the Hill Pole, and it shows
now Cuomo with thirty five percent. Now realize that recently
(02:46):
he's been going up over forty percent, so thirty five
percent is low. But Zorin Mamdani keeps sneaking up on him,
ever so slightly. But this is twenty three percent now,
so that's twelve points. It's as I said yesterday in
(03:06):
my final thoughts, it's time to really start paying attention
to Zorn Mamdani and talk about what he would do
to the city. And the fact that, you know, everybody
calls him a socialist. He calls himself a socialist democrat,
So we can get the democrat in there somewhere. You know,
he's close to being a communist, and so Andrew Cuomo,
who has been in hiding. And I don't even blame
(03:28):
him because he's so far in front, or was so
far in front that he didn't have to make appearances.
All he could do is screw up. He was so
far ahead it was almost a fat of compleet. Well,
now he's out, and yesterday he was out with a
new proposal. What do you do when you're behind in
the polls? You buy votes. And so now he is
(03:51):
recommending an increase in the minimum wage twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
That is the fair wage, and that's what we want,
and that's what going to get passed.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And this is what cracks me up. So, Mom, Donnie,
really quick was out again. Not twenty thirty dollars minimum way, no, because.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
When you look at the statistics of what is a
living wage in New York City today, it already is
close to thirty dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Is it anywhere close to thirty dollars an hour? Can
I get a job? I think what he was saying
is that's what you need as a living wage, But
it's certainly come came out like we're already close to that.
We're already close to thirty dollars an hour. Wow, that
was mom, Donnie. Yeah, he's telling you a zip it. Yep,
(04:42):
that's not what I said.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Weep.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You wouldn't if be great, if they had a button
they were able to do that like that anyway. I
was saying this in the final Thoughts yesterday, and that
is or in mom Donnie's not a joke anymore. It's
not something to laugh at. He's not just a cautionary tail.
He is really coming on. And here's what frightens me
(05:05):
the most about him. I don't think he's going to
win the Democratic primary because if you look at the
breakdown of the poll numbers, his support is limited. The
scary thing is a lot of people don't even know
who he is. And I say that's scary because he
could potentially get a lot of those votes once they
learn who he is. But his support among blacks and
(05:28):
his support among the Hispanic is low. It's all well
to do white people or young white people. That's almost
all of his support. Very very liberal white people are
supporting him. But I'll tell you what, in a crowded
field and in this election, so he will be a
(05:50):
crowded field, not only for the Democratic primary, but it
will be a crowded field in the general election with
all the independence and of their and third parties running.
And they have pretty good candidates, including Mayor Adams and
zorin Mom Donni. So you know anyway, it's time to
start talking about him a lot more and talking about
(06:13):
the problems with him and talking about why he cannot
be mayor of New York. It would be the no
matter what you think of Andrew Cuoma, well, no matter
what you think of Eric Adams, at least they know
the game and at least they know what the status
quo is and they know not to fudge you with
it too much. But Zor in Mam Donni wants to
change everything and the city would go broke under what
(06:37):
he's talking about doing. New York International Airport Sean Duffy
gave an update, and Duffy spoke he said, you know,
his plan is for the entire country. He wants to
update the entire country's air traffic control system so that
it's the best in the world, because it really hasn't
been touched. Depending on what you're talking about, depending on
(07:00):
whether it's the fiber, depending on whether it's the lines
of communication or the radar. Some of it hasn't been
changed in fifty years, others forty years. But it's old
and it has to be upgraded.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
We're going to go through a laborious process on testing
to make sure when we flip it over, we don't
have any disruption. And so the FA is going to
use an abundance of caution and I think that's appropriate,
which is why we're going to go back to the
end of June early July if all goes well.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, that's for Newark Airport. So they already have made
the changes. That was quick. I mean the fact that
they were able to. Did you know that they ran
an entire fiber line all the way from Philadelphia to
Newark already and they wanted to put it right in
the process. Right now, let's just do it, and the
(07:54):
as you just heard from Duffy, the FAA came out
and said, no, no, no, no, let's be safe about this.
Let's test it a few times before we actually do it.
So it's going to be it's going to be the
end of June sometime into July. But if you remember,
it was the copper that caused all of the screens
to go out that burnt. The copper burned the fiber
(08:18):
will never do that, And so he couldn't believe when
he got in there they were actually using copper wiring.
As for the flights, they're going to still have reduced flights.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
On average in Newark, they're running about fifty fifty four
flights and our for departures, we've brought that down right now,
departures are at twenty eight an hour. Okay, when when
the new runway comes online June fifteenth, we're going to
(08:52):
bump that from twenty eight to thirty four.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's going to stay that way.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Until October until we bring these controllers up to speed
and add them to the airspace.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So they have sixteen controllers that they want to add
just to Newark. Sixteen new controllers, which will bring them
a little bit over what the minimum requirement is. And
again they're being trained. They're close to the end of
the process. They've already passed through all of the hurdles
(09:23):
that they have to go through and most don't make
it through. So these are sixteen of the best and
they're going to be at Newark Airport and that's when
they're going to be back. And so it's not going
to be to the fall, but everything will be back slowly.
They're going to bring flights back, but everything will be
back by then. But Sean Duffy wants you to remember
he inherited this.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
The last administration moved the Newark air Space from N
ninety down to the Philly traecon and these lines were
not built, they didn't use fiber, and now we're dealing
with that today.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
In real time, you get to the point when you
hear all of this stuff about what the Trump administration inherited.
Did Biden do anything right? I mean everything he touched,
even the stuff that he tell died. You know, the
infrastructure bill turned out to be a nightmare at the time,
(10:15):
even Republicans were on board. But everything seems to go
back to Biden. Have you seen comedian Jim Gaffigan recently?
He lost a lot of weight. None like other celebrities,
he has no problem letting you know how he did it.
Here for yourself. Next plus tickets to see the Doobie
Brothers at eight twenty five and you have to leave
a talk back to get Amante in the morning T shirt,
(10:37):
which everybody wants. When I leave work, there's people outside
asking for one. I have them all locked up. Yeah. Yeah,
they have to be, I mean because people would take
them here. You know what the people here are like.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
I saw some knockoffs in the street next to the
Louis Vuitton bags on Canal Street not too long ago.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
What were they going for?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I couldn't even bring myself to look. I mean the
bags which are sitting there. The shirts were flying off
the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It is amazing how everybody wants one and you can
get one easy just by being the best talk back
of the morning. You go to seven to ten wor
on the iHeartRadio app, you look for the talk back feature,
hit the microphone, and then you're on the air.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Hey, Larry.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
On a different note, I do like to know why
the credit card companies are passing on to four percent
to the restaurants and the restaurants are passing it on
to us as customers. It's not there full, it's the
credit card company's full. If I don't have cash on
me and I use my debit card, my debit card
is used the same as cash. Why am I getting
charged a four percent fee for using a debit card?
(11:43):
I don't think it should be the same, and I
think we should all be doing something about it.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
You know what it it shouldn't be the same. Well,
you can do something about it. You can pay cash.
You can go take some cash out of the you know,
if you're gonna use a debit card, what cash? If
you're gonna use a debit card anyway, I mean, that's
the way to fight that. You can get you use
some difficult anyway. You go to an ATM, you get
some cash, and then you pay, right, I mean, that's
the way around that.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
That's not going to work, no, because it's you want
to carry that lieu of carrying cash.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I get it. But if you know you're going to
go out to dinner, I mean you can. He just
asked for a solution. I gave you that way you
won't have to pay it. I think it's ridiculous, but
this is happening in every industry. Every service industry is
sneaking fees in right. The airlines are disgusting, ridiculous. They're ridiculous.
(12:35):
You think you have a good rate and then sometimes
you go to the airport and they change the fee.
Like you go thinking you have to pay one fee.
You get there, they change the baggage fee and the
baggage depends on the size of the bags. And everything
you do, everything you get is now charged for. Why
(12:56):
use the bathroom? Wouldn't that be amazing if I would
have hit a little thing on there. You had to
have a corner. Yeah, but I look the restaurants. I
get you. I get you because sometimes you don't even
think of that. You don't think about going out to
get money. You don't think about and you think your
debit card of course is safe because the money comes
(13:16):
directly from it. But yeah, that's a new thing. Some restaurants,
I will tell you don't charge so in lieu of
going to get cash, which was wholeheartedly rejected in this room,
then go ahead and find a restaurant that doesn't charge
you the fees. There are some out there. There are
still some restaurants out there that won't charge the fees,
(13:38):
so ask ahead of time.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Hey, good morning guys. I don't know if anybody touched
on this yet with Tiss James, but New Yorkers should
be absolutely outraged by the secret writing that they happen
to put into the new bill up in Albany, Hope
and the legislators up there. So Tis James is going
(14:04):
to have a defense fond funded by none other than
the taxpayers. It's outrageous.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, I'm glad you put her in out. We talked
about it when it first happened. That's in the new budget.
And it happened. Here's what is so suspicious about it.
It happened right when they talked about charges against Letis James.
It was added it seems it should be the the
Letics James writer, because it seems so obvious they're doing
(14:35):
it just for this reason. I'll tell you what. Politicians
don't always look out for us, but they look out
for each other. It's like organized crime. They really try
to help. Now, let's get to each other, not us. Now,
let's get to Jim Gaffigan. Now, Jim Gaffigan, I'm a
huge fan of him. I think he's very, very very funny.
(14:57):
He's also very very very big. But he you know,
that's part of his act, to take of the truth.
He talks about that all of the time. The fact
that he is a little bit heavier. Half his act
is down gone. He's lost fifty pounds. Have you seen him.
He looked wonderful, looks very healthy. He really did. He
says he feels better.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
It's great because my knees don't hurt standing up. I'm
less exhausted. But it's I don't know, yeah, it's it's
it's always good, you know, like a health benefits, like
I'll live longer there. But I love it just because
I feel better.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, I got to try that. I gotta try losing
a little weight so I can feel better. My knees hurt. Man,
It's hard to do though, once she's once you gain weight.
I've been thinning all my life and just recently the
last few years. I head a weight. Well, nobody cares now,
you know what, though, I would absolutely do what he
did if I could afford it.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
I did appetite suppressence. So it's not like I can
even take any pride in it. Brave enough to stick
a needle in my god, you know what I mean. So,
but it's it is great.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
It's beneficial, good for him in coming out, and he
should take pride in it because he did something to
help his health.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, and he admits it, and I hate it all.
Did Kelly Clarkson ever admit it? Yet? You know what,
I understand, it's a personal thing.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
I understand if you don't want to, it's nobody's business.
But you know what, if you're comfortable with it, and
you could share a way that you're making yourself healthier,
that maybe somebody else can do as well, go for it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I think it ruined Oprah, the fact that she didn't
come out right away, because she's always been so honest
and all out for him. And then no, I don't
know how, like you're just exercised. Now, let's get to
Jacqueline carl with the six thirty News, Jacqueline, Good Morning.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Many of President Trump's sweeping tariffs are being blocked by
a court. The US Court of International Trade ruled Wednesday
that an emergency law does not provide Trump with the
authority to impose tariffs on nearly every country. Our futures
jump more than four hundred points following the news, and
former New York Covenor Andrew Cuomo is making a new
(17:06):
proposal as he continues leading the pool of candidates for
New York City's Democratic mayoral primary.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
A one reaction from labor workers as Cuomo vowed to
raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hour, saying
he knows one way to get it done.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
We organize the working men and women of this city.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
He says, putting more money in people's pockets is the
best way to combat affordability, adding increasing wages will improve
economic activity. It all comes as a new poll from
his opponent, Zoran mam Donnie shows Cuomo with forty percent
of votes. Meantime, Public Advoca Jimani Williams is backing Brad
Lander and Adrian Adams ahead of the upcoming June twenty
fourth primary.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Natalie MCGLIORI wr news. These studies are making us crazy,
aren't they?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
All?
Speaker 10 (17:54):
Right?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
So I found one of the posts and I thought, oh,
this this could be interesting because the thea was certain
foods can reverse aging. I'm like, well, get me those foods.
New research suggests. Now it's down to New research suggests
that eating certain plant based foods could help slow biological aging.
So a lot of factors can impact biological age as
(18:16):
we know genetics, environmental exposures, sleep, habits, stress management, and diet.
And in this small study of forty three middle aged men,
as I read on, I'm like getting less and forty
three middle aged men for eight weeks, those who ate
more turmeric, rosemary, garlic, berries, and drank green tea or
oolong tea saw a bigger reduction in biological age. I
(18:40):
don't know how they manage this in two months, but
I could tell you a funny story about turmeric. I
was like buying some makeup and this girl's putting this
cream on my face and she kept saying excitedly, and
they've added turmeric and they've added tumeric. And this was
a while ago. So finally I said, oh, so, what
does the turmeric do? She goes, I don't know. She's
like twenty one at the mago, but she kept telling
(19:01):
me like, oh my god, they've had a turmeric on.
So finally I felt like I had to say, what
does it do?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I don't know, And we still don't know. I don't know,
but I just because he didn't turn you orange, because
tumoric has a very distinct color to it.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
I know, but like who knows. Like this cream was
this face cream was white. It supposedly had tumerics. Supposedly,
I don't know. It's supposed to get gets rid of
any kind of spots or something.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I don't know. These fads are amazing. My wife is
into every single one of them. We get Amazon packages
all the time. Probably one of them was turmeric. I
don't even look anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
I try some of them, but then I just you know, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Know, it's hot for like a couple of weeks or
maybe a month.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
And then one mushroom Have you heard of that? Natalie
lines Maine mushroom. So the mushroom coffee thing, I don't
get that. But they're supposed to be so good for you,
but I think it depends on which ones you get
and where you get them from.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Don't you think there's like a whole big marketing department
going all right, turmeric is one, of course, what's next? Yes,
that's next now through mushroom coffee without fail. Absolutely, Thanks
so much, Jacquelincaro. When we come back, i'll talk a
little bit about this court ruling that is blocking the
tariffs and tell you why it's not going to stick,
(20:12):
because yes, it is constitutional, but there's been several congressional
rulings since then that gave all that power to the
executive branch. So we'll talk about that in a second.
And also Donald Trump says he is not going to
impose sanctions speaking of sanctions on Russia yet, but he
says time is running out. He spoke on a lot
of topics yesterday. You can hear for yourself next and
(20:34):
don't forget. You can leave us a talk back all
Morning Long. Go to seven ten WR on the iHeartRadio
app and click the microphone and when you're there, put
seven to ten WOOR in your presets. Plus the most
important thing, you could win a limited edition MENTI in
the Morning T shirt, which will be awarded each day
to our favorite talkback of the morning. Well, Donald Trump'm
(20:55):
sure to talk a lot about a lot of things yesterday,
and he does that all the time, I mean, unlike Biden,
unlike any president. Really, I don't think I think he
has been the most accessible president in history, and I
don't think anybody Democrat or Republican would argue with that.
Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. But well, I guess
it's always good. It's what democracy should be about. But
(21:17):
so before we get to him and all of the
things he talked about yesterday, let's talk about this ruling
by a three judge panel at the New York based
Court of International Trade that is stopping the tariffs, of
stopping the president doing this tariffs. Now, what they claim
is that the Constitution gives unlimited power to Congress and
(21:39):
no power to the executive branch, which, by the way,
if this ruling was made in nineteen thirty, they would
have been exactly right. Before nineteen thirty, all of the
power on tariffs went to Congress. The president didn't get
involved at all. And then they found out in nineteen
thirty that that is unworkable. So they passed the Smooth
(22:03):
Harley Tariff Act of nineteen thirty, which delegated much of
the power to the president. But that wasn't it because
it still wasn't working. This shared power over tariffs wasn't working.
So you have that that in nineteen thirty four, they
passed the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act that authorized the president,
(22:27):
gave them unilateral power to negotiate trade agreements and make
tariff adjustments. So unless they want to get rid of
that legislation, I don't know. I don't know how a
court that specifically talks about trade didn't know all this
didn't know all of this legislation that's passed them before.
(22:50):
And by the way, this isn't the end of it.
It goes on and on and on. Congress just kept
giving power to the executive branch. There was the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act. There was an act in nineteen
sixty two called the Trade Expansion Act that gave more
power to the president. There was an act in nineteen
(23:11):
seventy four. It was Section two one of the Trade
Act of nineteen seventy four that gave more power to
the executive branch. Over and over and over, Congress has
given up this power, and nobody challenged it under Biden.
Nobody challenged it under Obama, nobody challenged it under Clinton.
One of the Bushes. By the way, they're just challenging
(23:32):
it now because the only thing they believe they still
have is to do is to fight everything Donald Trump does.
That's it. Even though they lost the eblection and lost
every swing state and lost the popular vote because of
(23:53):
what they wanted to do, and people wanted all of this.
He ran on saying the tariffs were unfair. People wanted this.
They're imposing themselves. And my question is when is the
Supreme Court could have put an end to this. They've
already come out, Even Atlanta Kagan came out, Even liberal
(24:15):
judges came out and said, this is unsustainable. We can't
have these district court judges. We can't have these smaller
court judges ruling on this kind of stuff setting national policy.
This is unsustainable. It's not supposed to happen this way.
(24:36):
You talk about the president over extending his powers, which
he's not. He was given these powers by Congress, the
Supreme Court, the district court judges have over extended their powers.
And here's where I get this about the Democrats every
single time. Here's why they're so dumb. So they're doing
(24:59):
this now, giddy and they're high fiving each other in
the back rooms. You know we're gonna have a democratic president.
And you don't think this exact same thing unless the
Supreme Court gets involved, is gonna happen to you. Of
course it is, of course it is. There's no foresight.
(25:21):
You don't fool up. There's nobody in the room that says, hey,
this might be a bad idea. We shouldn't use the courts.
We shouldn't go after the courts to stop the executive branch,
especially district courts, because the same thing's gonna be used
on us. No, there's no foresight. It's just stop Trump,
Stop Trump, Trump, Tump. That's all they have. I'll stop Trump.
(25:45):
But please look it up for yourself. There's been a
whole lot of times where the congressional branch has given
that power through legislation to the executive branch. So he's
on pretty good standing on this. Yesterday a wide ranging
(26:05):
news conference. Let's talk about that a little bit. You know,
this is going to play out in the courts now
and it's going to delay the tariffs, and the tariff
by the way, the tariff increases were working and it
was going to make America richer again. Even the EU
was going to settle. So now we have the EU,
when we have India, and we have so many countries
that were coming forward, China which are the big surprise.
(26:26):
But now that has to stop. Now that has to stop. Oh,
the Democrats got their way. They hurt the country once again.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Did you warn a premise or net Nyahu against taking
some sort of actions that.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Could disrupt the talks there in a phone call last week?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Well, I'd like to be honest, yes I did.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
He's talking about the Iranian nuclear power talks, the fact
that he thinks he's extremely close to getting Iran to
agree to get rid of their nuclear program in exchange
for lifting sanctions and allowing them to come back into
the rest of the world. And so Net and Yahoo
(27:06):
was talking about bombing Iran and there you go. The
President threatened him and told him to stop. As for Putin, we're.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Working on President Putin, and we'll see where we are.
I think we're doing fine, but we'll see. I don't
like what's happening. That's one thing I'll say. I don't
like when I see rockets being shot into cities.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
That's no good. Yeah, he's trying to end the war
and trying to end the war. By the way, every
time he fails, Democrats cheer, yes, oh yay, he didn't
end the war. We get the forgetting who started these wars.
This isn't my war.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
This is Biden's war, Zelenski's war, and Putin's war. This
isn't Trump's war. I'm only here for one thing, to
see if I can end it, to save five thousand
lives a week and a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Just keep letting them do stupid things, because the ye'ar
too smart. The American people were too smart. The American
people see through all of this. They want strength, They
want America first, and that's what Donald Trump provides, not
the weakness of the past administration. Speaking of the past administration,
one of the big criticisms of the Jake Tapper Alex
(28:12):
Thompson investigative book in the Biden White House is that
they never gave up names who was covering for his
mental decline? Well, now they are here, who was behind
the cover up? Next, I'll tell you what I feel
good about the media Again, they really are on top
of this Biden scandal. I saw a couple of this,
(28:33):
A couple of the networks had Biden Gate up. I
thought to myself, Oh, oh, they put Gate at the end.
It's officially a scandal. So this isn't going away. There
is going to be as we've been talking about on
the air now for a couple of years, pushing for
an investigation of this. This is going to be investigated.
There are going to be answers that are demanded at
(28:57):
this Jake Tapper, Alex Thompson book, Alex Thompson from Axios,
Jake Tapper from CNN. Original Sin. That's just the first
of many. So we're gonna know a whole lot more.
Although I heard the Original Sin is tremendous and it's
number one in the New York Times bestsellers list right now,
and I've just started it yesterday, So I'll talk about
it when I When I finish it. But this isn't
(29:20):
going away. This this is this is going to be
a big scandal. And what we don't know, my feeling is,
is going to shock us. The extent of Biden's mental
decline and the fact that there was a couple of
people that were running the country that we didn't know,
(29:41):
that we didn't elect, that probably most of them weren't
even confirmed by Congress. They just got in the White
House because they linked themselves to a guy of diminishing
mental capabilities. And near the end in the book they
called them zombie in chief. That was people in the
White House. That's not me, that's people in the White
(30:01):
House that call them that. And so Jake Tapper, after
denying this for so long and after defending the president
and after shooting down anyone that tried to point out
the obvious what all of America was seeing, now he's
seeing in a completely different tune.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
It is a scandal.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yes, it is. It is. It is.
Speaker 10 (30:24):
It is without question, and maybe even worse than Watergate
in some way, right because Richard Nixon was in control
of his faculties when he wasn't drinking. And you know,
so the idea that yeah, we don't. We don't mean
to exonerate. It's not Watergate. This is an entirely separate scandal,
maybe even worse. I maybe even worse now.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Coming up, I'm excited to talk to her. Coming up
after the news is Brianna Lyman. She is a correspondent
at the Federalist and I was watching her on TV
the last few weeks and she's been all over this
and talking about this, and she raised a great point.
As a matter of fact, they played sound with her
from a couple of days ago where somebody she was
(31:06):
talking about the book, and she said at one point
she said, look, we all knew. We all knew that
he had diminished mental capabilities. We all knew that they
were covering up the only thing we didn't know. So
nothing in the Taper book was new. We all knew it.
(31:28):
We didn't know the names. And what's the one thing
that Jake Tapper Cape kept from us and Alex Thompson
kept from us the names. We need names. And apparently
I wasn't the only person to hear that, because that's
been catching on now and everybody has been demanding the name.
So Alex Thompson in a Pierce Morgan interview out of
(31:50):
nowhere started naming names in terms of who was running
the White House.
Speaker 11 (31:56):
It's a small group of people that have been around
some people with an administry. Called them the Pullet Bureau.
Mike Donaldan Biden's longtime political liaison, Steve Chetti, who was
sort of the legislative liaison, plus like a friend Bruce
Reid at times depending on his situation with the Biden people,
Ron Klain. And then there are some people outside the
(32:17):
Pollet Bureau that are closer to family, which would be
obviously Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, but then Jill's main chief
of staff, Anthony Bernall, and sort of his sort of
like deputy in some ways, Annie Thomasini, who is often
Biden's traveling chief of staff.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
All of them, every single one of them, should be
in front of Congress. Every one of them should be
investigated by the FBI. Every one of them dishonored this country,
every single one of them for keeping this a secret.
None of them were elected. Not one of them were elected.
Not one of those names that you just heard there
(32:51):
were approved by Congress. Not one went through a nomination process,
and yet they were running the country because Biden wasn't
capable of it. And John Loved, who is a longtime
political He does the podcast pod Saved for the World.
He was one of the top advisors doing the Obama administration.
(33:14):
He visited Biden in the White House and he said
he knew about the capabilities that were diminishing. He saw
it firsthand. But he said he understands why the rest
of them were doing what they do because they wanted
to hold on the power. And he said it as if,
of course, duh, you want to hold in the power,
(33:38):
you want to win the next election.
Speaker 12 (33:39):
Who is rambling and he was hard to follow and
he repeated a story but then we were assured by
people around him that he was just exhausted. I remember feeling,
I want to talk about this as a huge liability.
I want to talk about this as something Joe Biden
can overcome. But I'm not going to go so far
as to say I think Joe Biden must drop out.
He is too old to be president. Hey, because I
(34:00):
didn't know exactly what was going on behind the scenes,
but b if Joe Biden is the candidate I wanted
to win.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I want to win, So they were willing to hurt
the country because they wanted to win. They were willing
to keep a huge secret from us where we couldn't
understand why things were going so poorly, why wars were starting,
why the border was wide open, why inflation was running rampant,
(34:28):
why gas prices were ridiculous, And you couldn't blame Biden.
What did hurt? Call him a sympathetic old man with
a failing memory. We talked about Brianna Lyman. She is
coming up next because that Jake Tapper book uncovered a lot,
but Brianna Lyman from The Federalist says it failed to
(34:50):
uncover the one thing we really needed. We just talked
about that. We'll talk to her about it right after
the seven o'clock news
