Speaker 1 (00:00):
This hour of programming on seven ten double oar. He's
sponsored by Toyota City and Mamaranac and Nissan City of
port Chester, proud members of the Integrity Automotive Group. Now
former Westchester County Executive Rob Astoria on seven ten, Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Boy, five minutes after four o'clock, Rob Astorino with you
here on a gorgeous Saturday. Metz Yankee is still playing right.
I think they're tied in the Knife Nicks. What a
great win last night. Moving on to the Eastern Conference finals.
That'll be exciting. And it's good to be back in
(00:44):
Nueva York. Good to be back home. I mean it's
like if I waited any longer there, I would have
needed a visa ninety days. You got to you gotta
get out of the country and get a visa. Ah.
I was in three separate trips to Rome and a
total of three weeks, and then a week in Spain
(01:08):
for our vacation, which then turned into not coming home
going directly to Rome when Pope Francis died. That was unexpected.
So uh, it is good. It is good to be back,
although I do miss the food already in Rome, so
I miss you too. I haven't really had a chance
because our shows have been all over the place. We've
had to do them from Rome, and we had guests
(01:31):
and everything happening, so I really hadn't you know, I
really didn't have a chance to take your calls. So
we can do that today. We'll be back together again.
One in hundred three two one zero seven ten. One
in hundred three two one zero seven ten. If you
want to join in on the rob Astorino show here
(01:51):
on seven to ten. Wo r So. I earlier this
week and it was still in Rome. I my allergy
started flaring up, which I do get this generally every spring.
For like a week, I take Zirtec or something, but
then I get this dry cough. It's so annoying. As
(02:12):
my wife will tell you, it is horrible, and there's
like no real reward when you cough. You want something
you on phlem Let's just be honest. You want something
good to come up, and this is just kind of dry.
So it's annoying. It's that tickle cough. So hopefully I
won't have to hit the cough button, which kills my
(02:33):
mic that's a little industry thing cough button right in
front of me, and my finger is on the button
just in case. But I just got through my Newsmax
TV show for two hours, not too bad. A couple
of times you couldn't see it, but I had to
give the like cut my mic things so I could hack.
But anyway, we'll get through it. And we got a
lot to talk about today, plenty to talk about. We
(02:56):
got the Biden stuff, which the Axios tapes just came
out of. I mean, it's unbelievable. It truly is unbelievable
what happened in this country and what they perpetrated on us.
I don't care if you have voted for Biden or not.
What the Democrats and the Biden administration perpetrated on all
(03:19):
of us by hiding his mental decline, which is so obvious,
was obvious to everybody. Obviously they declined it for so long,
you know, not happening. They're denying it. They're declining about
whether to tell the truth. But you know, I mean
half a brain, and you realize he had half a brain.
(03:40):
And so now it's all coming out because we hear
the her report and the interview that he did, which
is I mean, it's phenomenal. It's phenomenal in its audacity
that he was so far gone and yet still president
of the United Slate States, ready to run for reelection,
(04:03):
almost did. But even that, even after he declined to run,
he was still president for six months. If there were
ever the twenty fifth Amendment, which should have been invoked,
that was it. That's why we got it. And I remember,
for all four years of Donald Trump, all four years
(04:26):
Trump arrangement syndrome, everyone invoke the twenty fifth Amendment. Donald
Trump is crazy, get him out. And of course when
it actually should have been invoked under Joe Biden, they didn't.
What a hoax. And I'm wondering if anyone's gonna pay
(04:48):
the price, because damn it, they should. Because only the
president of the United States is supposed to send troops
into harm's way. Only the president of the United States
is supposed to sign legislation. Only the president of the
United States is supposed to make appointments to the federal courts,
(05:09):
to the agencies, and obviously his cabinet, and all of
this was done in his name, clearly not by him,
let's not be idiots. Of course, he didn't know what
he was doing, and so if he didn't know what
he was doing. How could he sign a document that
(05:29):
appointed a federal judge, By the way, a lot of
these district court judges right now that are blocking the
entire Trump administration from doing anything. But no one's going
to pay the price. Of course they won't. They should,
people should go to jail over this because obviously they
were using the auto pen to sign anything and everything.
(05:54):
So while he was upstairs, you know, eating pudding, watching
a rerun of Freaking Ah whatever daytime show, Barnaby Jones,
you had people in his administration signing documents, making appointments,
doing things that only the president can do. Totally illegal
(06:16):
what they did, and they're not going to pay the price.
It's not only a travesty, it is a disgrace. It
is despicable, it is unconstitutional. You gotta listen to those tapes.
It's unbelievable. And then you saw what our illustrious former
(06:40):
FBI director James Comey, but he put out too right.
He just happens to be walking along the beach, and
there are seashells that form the letters or the numbers
eighty six forty seven, in other words, eighty six, meaning,
of course we all know what it is, and it
(07:03):
might mean different things to different people, but it certainly
it means get rid of, at the very least, get
rid of. And if you want to take it further
where I believe it was eighty six, somebody is kill somebody,
get rid of them, eliminate. That's what it is by
any definition. And forty seven, obviously is the forty seventh
(07:26):
President of the United States, Donald Trump, who was nearly
assassinated twice. But James, call me previously our top law
enforcement officer in this country, who got away with everything,
leaked audio, leaked documents, signed knowingly these FISA warrants knowing
(07:51):
they were untrue. This guy gets away with it. And
now he puts something on social media which basically says,
at the very least, eliminate this president. You can take
that for what you think it is. But certainly a
deranged person might say, Oh, he's telling me to go
kill this guy. I'll try. What's gonna happen to him?
(08:13):
And nobody's above the law, right, Letitia James, nobody's above
the law. What's gonna happen nothing?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Look, do I think that comy for posting this idiotic
image should have FBI agents or Secret Service agents tackling
him and handcuffing him and charging him with whatever. No,
honestly I don't. But should he Should he be condemned,
(08:46):
should he be exposed? Yeah, he certainly should. And you
know what, if they do charge him with something or
better yet, take it to a grand jury. Then let
the grand jury decide if there's enough evidence they reasonable doubt,
which you don't even need in the grand jury, but
if there's enough evidence there that a crime may have
(09:07):
been committed, and then take it forward. Why why shouldn't
he be put through the hell that he put Donald
Trump and everybody else through? Why not? This country was
dragged through the ringer, dragged through the ringer, and they're
gonna get away with it. One hundred and three two
(09:29):
one zero seven ten. Here you go, hear it, hear it?
That was my first cough. See I put my finger
right here. Ready say you didn't hear it, But I
was hacking away anyway. One hundred three to two one
zero seven ten. It's just it's sad and it's sickening
(09:51):
what happened. It really is. Hold on, am I gonna
get hold on? I gotta take a drink of water. Okay,
we'll get through this. I'm sad. I'm sad. I'm back anyway.
All right, quarter after four. I see your calls are
(10:14):
lining up. This is like great radio. The host is
hacking away. Yeah, all right, Bruce, we'll take a break.
We'll come back. I got live commercials to do too.
Take a break, Bruce. I'm glad you didn't play Bruce
(10:36):
Springsteen because he is banned from this show. No Bruce
Springsteen music or songs ever again. Did you hear what
he did? Springsteen at his concert in England the other
day goes on a riff about being embarrassed to be
(10:58):
an American because of Donald Trump, and you know, stand
up and clap if you're you know, to stand up
and clap for democracy because this authoritarian is ruining our
world and country. And then, of course, you know, Trump
being Trump tweeted out. You know, you've got no talent,
(11:22):
you you know, shut up and don't embarrass our country.
Don't do that somewhere else. Yeah, yeah, but Bruce Springsteen.
It just annoys me when these entertainers and everybody feel
the need to speak out like they do. Just shut
up and play. Bill Burr the you know, the comedian
(11:44):
I wanted to see him. I was saying that a
couple weeks ago. Actually, yeah, I was May third, That's
when I took off. I went to Rome. But May
fourth I had tickets to the Capitol Theater in Portchester
to see Bill Or, who I think is a great comedian,
And apparently I didn't get to see it, but a
(12:07):
friend of mine went. He was so awful and just
like extolling Luigi MANGIONI like, and he was testing out
a lot of stuff and it was horrible and like
at Booze and people were like, you know, just stop
with this nonsense. So I'm glad I didn't get to
(12:28):
see Bilburgh. I guess I would have liked to have
seen him, but apparently he wasn't good. But you know,
to Burr and he was going off on Trump and
to Springsteen and all these other idiots. Just shut your mouth, please,
Are you not embarrassed, especially now that we know everything
about Biden? All right, your calls, I will take them
in a moment. One hundred three to two one zero

We will start with the lovely talented Sondra from New Jersey. Hello, Sondra,
have I missed you too?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
As a matter of fact, I found myself writing to
you on X because you're an Internet. I don't know
if you have a thought to say that, but you
are missed and I want to say something very important
to you. In your absence. You had a beautiful, in
depth interview with Jack Chatty, and I told Jack personally
(15:11):
that that was probably the best interview I've heard on
h they had, and I thank you for that. Oh yeah, Rod,
I'm not kidding. This is beautiful what you did for him.
And last year I would say I want this man
to win so badly that I was able to arrange
(15:32):
a beautiful meet and greet for him at the Women's
Republican Club last year. And you know, he's such a
great man that he said, Sandra, I'm not charging anyone
to come to see the street. He pays for each
and every process that came long to hear him speech.
It's a not a men's I don't know what it is,
(15:54):
so I have to say I have right away. I
told him how this interview that was. He lorove you you.
So I'm thankful that you did that to him, and
I missed you and I'm glad to pack. Yeah, I'm
telling you the truth till I see.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I say thank you, Sondra, I appreciate it. And Jack Chedderelly.
You know, he's got a primary coming up in a
couple of weeks, so hopefully you go out and vote,
you know, for the governor's race. There and then the
imbeciles on the left, starting with the Newark mayor who
was just arrested. Of course, the whole thing was planned
at the Ice Detention Center. I mean, seriously, so you're
(16:32):
gonna trespass, You're gonna you're gonna go across the line,
you're gonna, you know, engage with ice agents, you want
to get arrested. So he did. That was his whole
thing so he can raise money overnight, which of course
he did because all the buffoons on the left, yay,
let me give him money. I hope Jack Chitdarelli wins
this race so bad it'll set such a tone for
(16:53):
for next year, and it will it'll put the Garden
State back on track because it's been just demolished. I mean,
Murphy and every imbecile before him just demolished it. So
hopefully Jack wins that race, all right, one hundred three
to two one zero seven ten. By the way, if

website seven TENWR dot com and you click on the

you know, find it from that week and also on
the iHeart app same thing. Al Any Yonkers, you're on
seven ten WR.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Heyl Hey, Rob, nice to speak to you.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I remember when you were the counting executive for eight
years in Westchester. You did a fantastic job.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Sir, sure, And I just wanted to quickly say, you know,
it's my opinion, and I believe most people throughout the
world know that Joe Biden's mental decline was the worst
in modern times. Yeah, his wife Jill basically was the gatekeeper,
the only one. I'd say that was not even close.
It wasn't even close. But I'd say maybe Reagan second
(18:01):
term post around contra went on. Nancy Reagan was instrumental
in firing Don Reagan. And the worst ever probably was
if you agree, it was probably a Woodrow Wilson when
he had that massive stroke. Yeah, you can the League
of Nations, Yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
No, I mean I think, look, there's there's a little
bit of that with Reagan second term at the end, definitely,
but you could you know, he was also out and
about in public. I remember watching and I remember that
time very well because that's really when I came of
age politically, because I graduated high school, I was graduating
college in the eighties, and I love Reagan. That's why
(18:41):
I'm a Republican now. So I did watch that presidency
very closely, and yes, you could see him slip a
little bit, but he still you could tell he still
had a lot of it left at the end, and
he would not have run for a Let's say that
was how he was in the first term. He would
not have run for a second term in that condition,
(19:01):
or people wouldn't have allowed him to. Obviously, Jill Biden
and I'm not even gonna call her doctor Jill, Jill
Biden is implicit in all of this. It was all
about the Bidens. Wanted the number one transportation network in
the world. They wanted the Air Force one, they wanted
the beast, they wanted the greatest, you know, senior elderly
(19:25):
care center in the world, the White House. That's what
they wanted. They could care less about the country. And
the fact that she was pushing him to run for
a second term in that condition went Remember a couple
of times he got on stage and he walked over
and he thought someone else was his wife? And how
(19:46):
many times did she have to pull him off? Steve
in Central Jersey, You're on seven to ten, wor Hey, Steve.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Hey, Rob Rob about Jim comey, nothing is going to
happen to him or come of that and into it
you swerved in a little while ago. Well, but why
did he do it. He's going to be walking a book.
He needed to get his name back in the limelight.
Number one. Number two, he knew nothing was going to happen.
Why he still has connections in the deep state? I
(20:17):
believe my humble opinion. But just look at how they
handled it rob and that they haven't impaneled the grand jury,
doesn't look like they're gonna where he'd be under oath,
and the FBI is not interviewing him where we know
if he lied, he lies to them, that's a crime.
Who interviewed and robed the Secret Service? I believe See
this is where I believe it. We're orchestrated. He still
has deep connections in the deep state.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
I'm not aware.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
I've heard other commentators say that if you lie to
the Secret Service, you could be prosecuted. If I'm wrong,
I'm not aware of that law. I'm not, but it
just so you know, and some I heard another commentator say,
and when he's interviewed by the Secret Service, they're just
taken note, they're just basically no takers and they'll take
down whatever he has to say.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Here's the big difference. Yet, they based on their notes,
based on let's say Cash Battel right, FBI director very
close to Trump. Cash Ptel can put somebody who he
trusts directly involved in that investigation, who could directly sit
down against Komy and say, okay, I got a bunch
(21:20):
of questions for you, and you're under oath, So they could.
I mean, the difference here is they they control the process. Now,
they could send it to a grand jury, they could
determine or press charges on their own, and then Komy's
gonna have to spend a hell of a lot of
money defending himself. Now, it may, in the end be
(21:41):
he gets off either by a jury or a judge
or or whatever. But to start the process itself, the
legal process is not fun, and he would have to
have an attorney and that's not cheap. So, you know,
I think it's not like he's just gonna get away
scott free. I don't. I'm not so sure that Trump
(22:04):
and the Attorney General and the FBI director, Trump's team,
we'll we'll let him just get off scott free, because
they're pissed at him. They're pissed at what Cally did
to him, did to Trump in that first term. So
I don't know, We'll see all right, one and three
two one zero seven ten. Rob Astarino. Here, let us
go to Pam in Patterson, New Joysey, Hi, Pam, hey Hey.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
The winning comment from Trump in response to Springstein was
be quiet, you're an old right up.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, that was the best. That was a best.
Speaker 9 (22:46):
You gotta have a laugh, right, you gotta laugh?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You do you do? And it's like, you know, that's
kind of it's kind of how I normally am, like, oh,
just shut up, screw you. But Trump, it's like he's
going to have the last word. He's going to have
the right hook and the left hook if you take
him on. You know, you could argue that, all right,
who cares? Who cares? But Trump's like, you know what,
(23:10):
I don't care you come after me. I'm I'm gonna
come after you. I don't care who you are, including
Bruce Springsteen. He probably secretly does like his music, but
he's now he's gonna make sure it's never played at
mar A Lago and he's gonna he's gonna go after him.
And I'm glad he is. Actually one in hundred three
two one zero seven ten, one in hundred three two
one zero seven ten. I'm gonna keep taking your calls
(23:32):
and uh and a little later. I have some observations
from my time, especially in Italy, and I did a
little more traveling too after I left Rome. But some
interesting differences between us here and and how they do
things over there. I'll let you in on that in
a little while. One hundred three two one zero seven ten.
(23:54):
Let's go to Carl here in Manhattan.
Speaker 10 (23:57):
Hey, Carl, Yeah, it's good afternoon, sir mistress. You know,
I like your show. It's good, and I just want
to point out one thing. Everybody's got the darts in
the hand ready to throw him at. Biden's incompetent, and
that certainly he was. He's been incompetent for quite a while.
(24:17):
They're verifiably competent. However, you have a lot of people
in elected and appointed offices throughout the government, principally Democrats,
I hate to say, who are not quite there altogether.
Like Schumer with his threats against the Supreme Court justice.
You have Bernie Sanders coming up with these fantastic apprecations
(24:39):
about oligarchs and stuff and frightening people. You have to
a congresswoman I forget her name in California. She's absolutely
out of it, completely out of it, screaming and yelling,
talking about taking it to the streets and pushing it.
And you have those people who who went to that center.
I believe it's in Jersey. Whose look, politicians, the mayor
(25:01):
who you know, they just obey the law. These people
need to be processed. They need to be at least
interviewed by competent psychiatrists or psychologists.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
And May. By the way, May is Mental Health Month.
So there's a whole bunch of Democrats that I think
could could use a little May mental health.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
It should be a requisite for their their office that
they they'd be required to submit to an interview in
front of a mental health specialist to determine if if
they're going off the deep end or they're just you know,
freedom of speech.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Now, to be fair, Carl and I appreciate the call.
We've got a couple of nuts on our side too,
But you know, they've got every sort, they've got almonds,
they've got they've got every type of nut possible. On
the left, we have a few, but but they that's
like that's in their DNA one three two one zero
(25:59):
seven ten one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Let's go to Patricia in Brooklyn. Hi, Patricia, Hey, Rob,
I'm so so.
Speaker 10 (26:11):
Do we lose her?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
We lost Patricia. You can try back. Let's go to
uh Jimmy and Minneola. Hi Jimmy, Hey, what's up.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
Rob.
Speaker 11 (26:20):
I'm glad you got to take my call. I'm weighing
in on Springsteen. So I was a big fan of
his music since the seventies. I still like the music.
I can't unhear it. I can't undo my youth, but
I stopped supporting anything he does when he started spewing
his nonsense ten years ago about Trump. And I will
say this I've been saying forever. I know they don't
(26:42):
want to weaponize government, but I hope and pray that
you know, he has some kind of a squad that
looks into de Niro and Springsteen and people like that,
and you know, go through their taxes, make sure nobody's
above the low, make sure they're squeaky clean like they
want him to be.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
So that's just my two sold on Jimmy, I got
a question for you, all right, Sure if I said
to you, I have two tickets front row and backstage
VIP meet and greet pictures, dinner afterwards with Bruce Springsteen,
(27:19):
and he's going to play some songs for you, just
you and your guest. Do you go or not?
Speaker 11 (27:25):
Okay, you heard me chuckle while you were saying it,
because I've answered this question for the last ten years
to people. I still listen to his music. I wouldn't
spend a nickel on anything he does.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
No, it's free, it's free.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
You told me you were giving me free tickets.
Speaker 11 (27:38):
I'll probably go to the show. No, no, no, no no.
And that's as far as it would go. And as
I said, it would just be for the musical value
and nothing more.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
All Right, I gotta call you a mini fraud here.
You should be saying, no, I'm not even going to
his concert.
Speaker 11 (27:54):
Oh you know, like I said, I gotta undo fifty
years from seventies. You know, I have to undo my
my teen years. You know, all the way, I still
like I said, I like the music so and one thing,
and I weigh in on a little bit of humor
that I heard the other day. I can't take credit
for this. It's a little offbeat, but the other day
one of the shows, I think it was a Midwest
(28:16):
politician and he used this term, and I'm still laughing
about it. Four days later, he spoke about Hakeem Jeffries.
He called him the dollar Tree version of Obama. I
just thought it was a classic line.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
That's good. Hey, I appreciate the call, Jimmy, thank you.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
Familiar.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
All right, Patricia is back ahead, Patricia, how are you?
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Yes?
Speaker 12 (28:35):
Well, I want to thank you. Your coverage of the
papal business was so beautiful. You you elevated my movie.
Speaker 10 (28:46):
You made me so happy.
Speaker 12 (28:49):
You were so descriptive, and I felt like I was there.
All right, I'm something around the other thing I wanted
to say. I think James Comy it's a wunatic. He
sounds like a mental midgard And.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
He's not a midget. He's really tall. I think he's
like six I.
Speaker 12 (29:09):
Pick something, miss with him, totally miss with him.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
Yeah you don't.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
He should get alive, really, Patricia, thank you. I hate
to admit it, but James Comy, former FBI director, is
a Westchester guy. He he grew up in Yonkers, and
I wish he didn't. Apparently one three two one zero
seven ten one in hundred three two one zero seven ten.
(29:39):
All right, Scott in the Bronx. How are you okay?
Scott in the Bronx? All right, they must be punished.
Take him off. You gotta have your the phone to
your ear and the and the radio down. That's like
radio caller one oh one. And and that wasn't your
(30:00):
first rodeo, Max and Manhattan? Go ahead, Max?
Speaker 13 (30:08):
You mentioned call me was from Westchester. But I think
you're the one who was the first one who was
calling out the illegal trafficking of aliens in Westchester, weren't you.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, we got the video, yep. And of course when
I confronted not just the media, but when I confronted
the Biden administration, I had a press conference showing the video.
They looked at me and what do you think they said? Racist?
They didn't deny it, but they they got off topic
(30:40):
and of course made it all about racism and how
horrible I am and blah blah blah, and then never
answered our questions. And that was the tip of the spear,
as we know, because they were flying them in directly
into Westchester from Texas. And that was just the beginning
of the Biden open border policy. But you think about it,
that was the federal government using our money to fly
(31:03):
illegal aliens into the interior of the country. Not it
wasn't only just like run across the border and you're in.
It's hey, we'll give you a big hand here, We'll
fly you across. Max Is Gone one hundred three two

the coolest stone pony and I'm gonna let them have it.
I swear to God, I'm gonna let them have it.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Now you should because this guy has a track record.
You know, I don't know if you know it is
non not that it's like a bad thing, but I
mean he's had his share of metal issues too, and
for him to do that, it's like real, really, I mean,
you can't tell what you mean? You what were you
talking about the guys we rail Man?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
No, I know, South, Thanks for the call. Look, they
are a lot of these Hollywood actors or entertainers, musicians,
even athletes like Lebron James I hated. I started hating
Lebron James. I loved a player that I saw, but
I hated the Lebron James that I heard, and so
(32:30):
I stopped watching. I stopped. You know a lot of
that came out of the NBA too, and I stopped watching.
It's like, I don't want to hear you. If I'm
paying good money to watch you on TV or go
see you just entertain me, I don't. I don't want
to hear your politics, and honestly, excuse me. Honestly if
(32:52):
I go to a concert, and even excuse me, even
if it's a Republican entertainer, Let's say, I don't necessarily
want other people to have to hear that either, that's
not what we went there. We don't go to listen
to your concert and hear you spu stuff. I want
to be entertained. One hundred three two one zero seven ten. Hmm, Oh,

That's kind of what I get when I go there.
So you can indulge in their famous and it is
one inch thick Canadian bacon, delicious jumbo lump crab cake,

their sides, which are really good. Their home fries are
creamless creamed spinach. Yeah, creamless creamed spinach. What is that?
(34:36):
I've had it. It's good, But what's the cream or
what tastes like cream? I don't know. Anyway, enjoy the
summer weather, gorgeous outdoor patio, and you can, of course
host a memorable event like graduations are coming up. And
by the way, congratulations to my niece Delia Delia May Schmidt.

but I'm adding it. Benjamin Steakhouse a cut above the rest.
(35:21):
More people want to talk, I'll take your calls. Why not,
I haven't talked in so long. One one hundred and
three to two one zero seven ten. The rob Astarno
show rolling along here on this Saturday, Okay, taking it
down the home stretch here. I love all these new
callers too. It's nice one hundred three to two one
zero seven ten. And it couldn't have come at a
better day because of my voice. So it's nice to
(35:44):
lighten my load by having some callers make some points
I have. I do have other things I want to
get to, so I will get to your calls. And
then I got some some things from Italy and Spain
I wanted to tell you about. But before I do so.
The other night, I'm coming back from jfk Land. After
you know, an eight and a half hour flight, you're
tired and you just want to get home. That's the
(36:05):
worst part is wherever you travel to it's always fun going,
but when your trip is over and you got to
come home, it's like, oh, if you could do time travel,
if you could be like Samantha and Bewitched and just
do that thing with your nose and then just end
up wherever you want to go, or I dream a
Genie likeduk a Duke Boom, I'm home in a minute
(36:27):
or not even a minute. It's like a split second.
That would be great, But you gotta you gotta travel.
So I get back from from Rome, I Land. You
go through customs. Actually wasn't so bad. But Newsmax they
give us these links for uber rides, and every time
I use these ubers, they go to I don't know
(36:48):
what it is, but they ended up going to the
wrong terminal. So I'm calling the driver and like I
can't understand him, and he's telling me where he is.
I'm like, but I'm here, meet me a year. I
just want to get in the damn car and get home.
So I was literally in the air flying back Delta,
so I had Wi Fi on my phone while I'm
(37:11):
thirty five thousand feet up, and I generally don't. I
really don't. I stay away from emails and all that
stuff while I'm flying because it's just like it's nice
to be away from it. But anyway, I'm like, you
know what, I'm not taking a Newsmax Uber. I could,
but I'd rather call Leros. I'd really would. I'd rather
just a professional car right there, my name up there,
(37:34):
I get there, boom, We're on our way. So I did.
I actually, from the plane, I texted someone at Leros
and I said, Hey, could I get a ride back? Whatever? Absolutely,
so I decided instead of instead of like the freebie
from up from Uber and Newsmax, I'm gonna I'm gonna
(37:54):
use Leros. And I did, and I'm grateful that I
did because I just wanted to get home. And they
are so good all the time. I use them for
my son who came home last week from from Little Rock.
I used them from my daughter who came back Wednesday
night from JFK when she came back from Spain. And
(38:15):
they're just fabulous. So if you know whether it's for
a loved one or for yourself, whether it's business or pleasure,
call Liros Liros point to point. They're just it's like
they're the professionals, they're the tops. Just don't I'm not
saying don't use uber if you want, go ahead. If
you're okay with a smelly car. Sometimes it's a crapshoot,
(38:37):
but it's gonna be nice. It's gonna be clean smelling
if it's Leros and a professional driver, So give him
a buzz Leros TG dot com, Leros l E r
O s TG dot com or call one eight hundred
eighty two Liros one eight hundred eighty two Liros. All right,
let me get to your calls. And then I got
an interesting thing, by the way, about the pope. Because
(39:00):
he's an American, does he have to pay taxes? Think
about that? All right? Charlie in Connecticut, Hey Charlie, how
are you? You're on the Rob Asta Reno Show.
Speaker 15 (39:14):
Hey rob how are you?
Speaker 11 (39:15):
Hey?
Speaker 15 (39:15):
Listen, just want a couple run a couple of things
by it. First of all, I think you should travel
more with Bernie Sanders. He'll take all your He'll take
care of all your traveling.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
And putting that in the ground private jet too.
Speaker 8 (39:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (39:26):
One. Number two the Pope has to pay. I think
up to he gets tax free, up to about one
hundred thousand dollars plus maybe plus a few thousand. That's
number two. But number three what I haven't heard in
the past couple of days regarding this Komi thing who
I think they should drill and wear him out in
court Number one? But two eight six and forty seven
(39:49):
days since nine to eleven. Have you heard that?
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Oh no, no, no, I didn't say that again.
Speaker 15 (39:56):
Yeah, so I heard the other day that it was
when that when that post, when that was posted, it
was eight six and forty seven days since nine to
eleven happened?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
Really, maybe you can research that.
Speaker 15 (40:10):
Yeah, I heard that, and I don't know if it's true.
I heard it on the radio actually some other talk
show hosts when I was driving. But I think, regardless
by comy posts and that, this is just my opinion,
and I think most of your listeners will agree. Just
wear that guy out, wear him out in court somehow,
hopefully you'll get him behind bars, but wear him out.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Well, that's that's what I was saying, Charlie, Thanks for
the call. That's exactly what I was saying, it's not
like he's going to do time. But you know what
to say. Okay, you want to play this game, fine, Okay,
you're gonna sit down with our agents. I'm sure you're
gonna have to hire a lawyer. We're going to maybe
send this to the grand jury. We're gonna do this.
We're gonna do that because you want to go up
(40:52):
against the federal government. You were on the other side.
You know the power of the federal government. And by
the way, you don't have any allies right now because
the guys in charge they're all Trump people, and they
can wear you down and the cast can cause you grief.
So if that's the if that's the game you want
to play, that's the stupidity, that's the crap you want
to do. Go ahead, but just know there are consequences.
(41:16):
You're not used to that. Democrats are not used to consequences,
because what do they say, nobody's above the law. Oh
wait a minute, is that true for everybody? I guess
it is, and they should find out. Kerry in Grantwich, Connecticut, Hi,
Kerry or on the Rob Astarino Show.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Yes, thank you, turn the radio down, thank you. I
liked the words of Springsteen's patriotic song, but I turned
against him a year or so ago when he got
caught driving drunk on his motorcycle in New Jersey.
Speaker 8 (41:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
So it's okay for him to potentially kill me or
anyone in my family or anyone else, but it's not
okay to have politics he dislikes. Yeah, and that's all
I have to say.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Well, Carrie, you can call anytime. Thank you very much.
It was a good observation. By the way, Michelle in
South Jersey. You're on seven ten wor Hi, Michelle.
Speaker 9 (42:08):
Hi, Thank you, Rob. I love your show and your
New York talk. And there's a may I tell you
there's some soothing throat drops that I like. Can I
tell you that name?
Speaker 2 (42:23):
You certainly can, Okay.
Speaker 9 (42:25):
They're called honeys h O N E E S okay,
And they got nothing but honey in it and something else.
But it's all natural and they sell them in everywhere supermarkets.
It's in a red bag.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
All right. I'll get to look for that honeys.
Speaker 9 (42:44):
Okay, kental free. It's really good. They're really nice.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Now I appreciate that, Michelle. Yes, thank you so much.
Speaker 9 (42:51):
God bless you and your loved one.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Thank you you too. All Right, last call is going
to be Dave from Peakskill Hi, Dave, how are you.
Speaker 8 (43:00):
Hi? Rob Listen. I know nobody mentioned this before, but
the first time I was aware Bruce Springston, I was
in the Okinawa in the Service, and for some reason,
I was around a bunch of New Jersey guys. Anyway,
they turned me on too, Bruce Springsteen, and they were
crazy for him. Nobody mentioned this, but in the eighties
(43:20):
is when I got disgusted with him. He turned on
Ronald Reagan and he was like a thorn in his side,
always making some stupid comments. So everybody's talking like it's
something new, but I go back a little so I
remember when he was sticking it to Reagan.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
Yeah, no, you're right. Look he said, Dave, thanks for
the call. He's a die hard Democrat. That's fine. I
have no problem with that. I don't you know. Look,
I'm a die hard conservative Republican. So I'm going to
root for my team and do everything I can for
my team, and there's a time and place for that.
But you also know that you're going to piss off
(43:56):
a lot of people who are your fans and like
you for who you are are and your music and
your talents, but not for what you say and do.
And when you do that and you rub it in
our face and tell us I hate you basically and
you're an ass for you know, supporting Donald Trump, then
you're talking directly to me, and I don't like that.
(44:16):
So I now give up on you. A couple of things.
On the Pope. On the Pope, so he is an American,
He is still an American citizen. I think he had
dual citizenship at one point. He was Peruvian too, because
he spent so much time there. And so the Vatican
is a city state. It's actually he's not just the
(44:38):
head of the Catholic Church, but he is the head
of state of the Holy See, which is the government,
the diplomatic arm, the bureaucracy, if you will, of the church,
and that is the Vatican, Vatican City. So it's likely
he will not pay taxes. But but I think the
(45:00):
filing threshold is seventeen thousand dollars of gross income for
a single taxpayer who is at a certain age, I believe,
and he qualifies for that. So it's unlikely because his
whatever money he receives either goes directly to the Augustinians,
which is the order that he's been with, and they
(45:25):
take the valve poverty, so everything goes to the nonprofit
the Augustinians, or it would go directly to the Holy See.
You know, So everything that he everything that he does,
his travel for instance, his housing, all that that is
work related and so he doesn't get tax on it.
So it's a good question. I don't actually know if
(45:48):
there is a if there is a renunration, if there's
a salary that goes along with being pope there is
for everyone else. Bishops, priests, they do have a salary.
It's not a lot because everything's paid for. Everything's taken
care of by their own church or diaces. But that's
what I gotta find that out. If the pope gets
(46:12):
the pope gets paid. I wonder, like every two weeks
is he checking his bank account. So a couple things.
First of all, I love going to Europe. I love Italy.
I've been there many times, obviously three times in the
last month and a half, whatever it is. But one
thing I've noticed, Italy especially has a graffiti problem, and
(46:36):
it's really sad because yeah, beautiful, like Rome is just
an amazing city, gorgeous. You just meander through these cobblestones
and all of a sudden you run into a church
that is relatively new because it's only six hundred years old,
but you see the ancient ruins and graffiti is so prevalent,
(47:02):
and it's disgusting. And it's not just there. I was
in Bologna, I went to Verona, and I went to
Milan and flew out of Milan. It's everywhere, and I
hope that they're not condoning this or think it's art.
It's disgusting and it's actually a turn off. I mean,
(47:22):
I guess we're used to it here and they're used
to it there. But when you have fresh eyes, when
Italians or Europeans come here and they're like they're on
the cross bronx and like, oh my god, this is disgusting,
or you know, we were over there and we're seeing
the same thing. One thing that they do it was warm.
(47:42):
It was very warm there. I mean it was comfortable,
but it was you know, sixties and seventies, probably more
so during the day. It was always in the seventies
and it got kind of warm. But they all dress
for the season. They don't dress for the weather. So
because it's springtime, they're wearing their sweaters, they're wearing their jackets.
(48:05):
And it's like I'm sweating. I'm in shorts and I'm
walking around and I look at these guys and they're
all like dressed and they're not sweating, but they're tressed nice.
And you know how you can tell the Americans who
the American tourists are. You can spot them anywhere. It's
so easy. Just look for the fat slobs that is
(48:28):
the American tourist. I hate to say it, but it
is so easy to check out, so easy to see
we're the ones in our t shirts and our belly
sticking out. And it's it's so true too, and you
know it, it is so true. I got more things.
(48:49):
I'll hold them till next week and I will definitely,
of course be with you next Saturday four o'clock and
of course catch me on Newsmax one to three on Saturdays.
You can always be part of the show as you
are today by calling up, listen to the show, or
send it to somebody via our podcast. And just thanks
(49:13):
for listening. I really do appreciate it so to all
our new callers, You're more than welcome you back next week.
Our professional callers, thanks for being with us. I will
see you next Saturday. Have a great weekend, everybody. Take care.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
This hour of programming on seven to ten woar he

port Chester, proud members of the Integrity Automotive Group,
This hour of programming on seven ten double oar. He's
sponsored by Toyota City and Mamaranac and Nissan City of
port Chester, proud members of the Integrity Automotive Group. Now
former Westchester County Executive Rob Astoria on seven ten, Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Boy, five minutes after four o'clock, Rob Astorino with you
here on a gorgeous Saturday. Metz Yankee is still playing right.
I think they're tied in the Knife Nicks. What a
great win last night. Moving on to the Eastern Conference finals.
That'll be exciting. And it's good to be back in
(00:44):
Nueva York. Good to be back home. I mean it's
like if I waited any longer there, I would have
needed a visa ninety days. You got to you gotta
get out of the country and get a visa. Ah.
I was in three separate trips to Rome and a
total of three weeks, and then a week in Spain
(01:08):
for our vacation, which then turned into not coming home
going directly to Rome when Pope Francis died. That was unexpected.
So uh, it is good. It is good to be back,
although I do miss the food already in Rome, so
I miss you too. I haven't really had a chance
because our shows have been all over the place. We've
had to do them from Rome, and we had guests
(01:31):
and everything happening, so I really hadn't you know, I
really didn't have a chance to take your calls. So
we can do that today. We'll be back together again.
One in hundred three two one zero seven ten. One
in hundred three two one zero seven ten. If you
want to join in on the rob Astorino show here
(01:51):
on seven to ten. Wo r So. I earlier this
week and it was still in Rome. I my allergy
started flaring up, which I do get this generally every spring.
For like a week, I take Zirtec or something, but
then I get this dry cough. It's so annoying. As
(02:12):
my wife will tell you, it is horrible, and there's
like no real reward when you cough. You want something
you on phlem Let's just be honest. You want something
good to come up, and this is just kind of dry.
So it's annoying. It's that tickle cough. So hopefully I
won't have to hit the cough button, which kills my
(02:33):
mic that's a little industry thing cough button right in
front of me, and my finger is on the button
just in case. But I just got through my Newsmax
TV show for two hours, not too bad. A couple
of times you couldn't see it, but I had to
give the like cut my mic things so I could hack.
But anyway, we'll get through it. And we got a
lot to talk about today, plenty to talk about. We
(02:56):
got the Biden stuff, which the Axios tapes just came
out of. I mean, it's unbelievable. It truly is unbelievable
what happened in this country and what they perpetrated on us.
I don't care if you have voted for Biden or not.
What the Democrats and the Biden administration perpetrated on all
(03:19):
of us by hiding his mental decline, which is so obvious,
was obvious to everybody. Obviously they declined it for so long,
you know, not happening. They're denying it. They're declining about
whether to tell the truth. But you know, I mean
half a brain, and you realize he had half a brain.
(03:40):
And so now it's all coming out because we hear
the her report and the interview that he did, which
is I mean, it's phenomenal. It's phenomenal in its audacity
that he was so far gone and yet still president
of the United Slate States, ready to run for reelection,
(04:03):
almost did. But even that, even after he declined to run,
he was still president for six months. If there were
ever the twenty fifth Amendment, which should have been invoked,
that was it. That's why we got it. And I remember,
for all four years of Donald Trump, all four years
(04:26):
Trump arrangement syndrome, everyone invoke the twenty fifth Amendment. Donald
Trump is crazy, get him out. And of course when
it actually should have been invoked under Joe Biden, they didn't.
What a hoax. And I'm wondering if anyone's gonna pay
(04:48):
the price, because damn it, they should. Because only the
president of the United States is supposed to send troops
into harm's way. Only the president of the United States
is supposed to sign legislation. Only the president of the
United States is supposed to make appointments to the federal courts,
(05:09):
to the agencies, and obviously his cabinet, and all of
this was done in his name, clearly not by him,
let's not be idiots. Of course, he didn't know what
he was doing, and so if he didn't know what
he was doing. How could he sign a document that
(05:29):
appointed a federal judge, By the way, a lot of
these district court judges right now that are blocking the
entire Trump administration from doing anything. But no one's going
to pay the price. Of course they won't. They should,
people should go to jail over this because obviously they
were using the auto pen to sign anything and everything.
(05:54):
So while he was upstairs, you know, eating pudding, watching
a rerun of Freaking Ah whatever daytime show, Barnaby Jones,
you had people in his administration signing documents, making appointments,
doing things that only the president can do. Totally illegal
(06:16):
what they did, and they're not going to pay the price.
It's not only a travesty, it is a disgrace. It
is despicable, it is unconstitutional. You gotta listen to those tapes.
It's unbelievable. And then you saw what our illustrious former
(06:40):
FBI director James Comey, but he put out too right.
He just happens to be walking along the beach, and
there are seashells that form the letters or the numbers
eighty six forty seven, in other words, eighty six, meaning,
of course we all know what it is, and it
(07:03):
might mean different things to different people, but it certainly
it means get rid of, at the very least, get
rid of. And if you want to take it further
where I believe it was eighty six, somebody is kill somebody,
get rid of them, eliminate. That's what it is by
any definition. And forty seven, obviously is the forty seventh
(07:26):
President of the United States, Donald Trump, who was nearly
assassinated twice. But James, call me previously our top law
enforcement officer in this country, who got away with everything,
leaked audio, leaked documents, signed knowingly these FISA warrants knowing
(07:51):
they were untrue. This guy gets away with it. And
now he puts something on social media which basically says,
at the very least, eliminate this president. You can take
that for what you think it is. But certainly a
deranged person might say, Oh, he's telling me to go
kill this guy. I'll try. What's gonna happen to him?
(08:13):
And nobody's above the law, right, Letitia James, nobody's above
the law. What's gonna happen nothing?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Look, do I think that comy for posting this idiotic
image should have FBI agents or Secret Service agents tackling
him and handcuffing him and charging him with whatever. No,
honestly I don't. But should he Should he be condemned,
(08:46):
should he be exposed? Yeah, he certainly should. And you
know what, if they do charge him with something or
better yet, take it to a grand jury. Then let
the grand jury decide if there's enough evidence they reasonable doubt,
which you don't even need in the grand jury, but
if there's enough evidence there that a crime may have
(09:07):
been committed, and then take it forward. Why why shouldn't
he be put through the hell that he put Donald
Trump and everybody else through? Why not? This country was
dragged through the ringer, dragged through the ringer, and they're
gonna get away with it. One hundred and three two
(09:29):
one zero seven ten. Here you go, hear it, hear it?
That was my first cough. See I put my finger
right here. Ready say you didn't hear it, But I
was hacking away anyway. One hundred three to two one
zero seven ten. It's just it's sad and it's sickening
(09:51):
what happened. It really is. Hold on, am I gonna
get hold on? I gotta take a drink of water. Okay,
we'll get through this. I'm sad. I'm sad. I'm back anyway.
All right, quarter after four. I see your calls are
(10:14):
lining up. This is like great radio. The host is
hacking away. Yeah, all right, Bruce, we'll take a break.
We'll come back. I got live commercials to do too.
Take a break, Bruce. I'm glad you didn't play Bruce
(10:36):
Springsteen because he is banned from this show. No Bruce
Springsteen music or songs ever again. Did you hear what
he did? Springsteen at his concert in England the other
day goes on a riff about being embarrassed to be
(10:58):
an American because of Donald Trump, and you know, stand
up and clap if you're you know, to stand up
and clap for democracy because this authoritarian is ruining our
world and country. And then, of course, you know, Trump
being Trump tweeted out. You know, you've got no talent,
(11:22):
you you know, shut up and don't embarrass our country.
Don't do that somewhere else. Yeah, yeah, but Bruce Springsteen.
It just annoys me when these entertainers and everybody feel
the need to speak out like they do. Just shut
up and play. Bill Burr the you know, the comedian
(11:44):
I wanted to see him. I was saying that a
couple weeks ago. Actually, yeah, I was May third, That's
when I took off. I went to Rome. But May
fourth I had tickets to the Capitol Theater in Portchester
to see Bill Or, who I think is a great comedian,
And apparently I didn't get to see it, but a
(12:07):
friend of mine went. He was so awful and just
like extolling Luigi MANGIONI like, and he was testing out
a lot of stuff and it was horrible and like
at Booze and people were like, you know, just stop
with this nonsense. So I'm glad I didn't get to
(12:28):
see Bilburgh. I guess I would have liked to have
seen him, but apparently he wasn't good. But you know,
to Burr and he was going off on Trump and
to Springsteen and all these other idiots. Just shut your mouth, please,
Are you not embarrassed, especially now that we know everything
about Biden? All right, your calls, I will take them

We will start with the lovely talented Sondra from New Jersey. Hello, Sondra,
have I missed you too?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
As a matter of fact, I found myself writing to
you on X because you're an Internet. I don't know
if you have a thought to say that, but you
are missed and I want to say something very important
to you. In your absence. You had a beautiful, in
depth interview with Jack Chatty, and I told Jack personally
(15:11):
that that was probably the best interview I've heard on
h they had, and I thank you for that. Oh yeah, Rod,
I'm not kidding. This is beautiful what you did for him.
And last year I would say I want this man
to win so badly that I was able to arrange
(15:32):
a beautiful meet and greet for him at the Women's
Republican Club last year. And you know, he's such a
great man that he said, Sandra, I'm not charging anyone
to come to see the street. He pays for each
and every process that came long to hear him speech.
It's a not a men's I don't know what it is,
(15:54):
so I have to say I have right away. I
told him how this interview that was. He lorove you you.
So I'm thankful that you did that to him, and
I missed you and I'm glad to pack. Yeah, I'm
telling you the truth till I see.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I say thank you, Sondra, I appreciate it. And Jack Chedderelly.
You know, he's got a primary coming up in a
couple of weeks, so hopefully you go out and vote,
you know, for the governor's race. There and then the
imbeciles on the left, starting with the Newark mayor who
was just arrested. Of course, the whole thing was planned
at the Ice Detention Center. I mean, seriously, so you're
(16:32):
gonna trespass, You're gonna you're gonna go across the line,
you're gonna, you know, engage with ice agents, you want
to get arrested. So he did. That was his whole
thing so he can raise money overnight, which of course
he did because all the buffoons on the left, yay,
let me give him money. I hope Jack Chitdarelli wins
this race so bad it'll set such a tone for
(16:53):
for next year, and it will it'll put the Garden
State back on track because it's been just demolished. I mean,
Murphy and every imbecile before him just demolished it. So
hopefully Jack wins that race, all right, one hundred three
to two one zero seven ten. By the way, if
you do want to listen to that Jack Jitdarelli interview
from a couple weeks ago, you can go to the
(17:16):
website seven TENWR dot com and you click on the
podcast tab for the Rob Astorino Show and you'll just
you know, find it from that week and also on
the iHeart app same thing. Al Any Yonkers, you're on
seven ten WR.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Heyl Hey, Rob, nice to speak to you.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I remember when you were the counting executive for eight
years in Westchester. You did a fantastic job.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Sir, sure, And I just wanted to quickly say, you know,
it's my opinion, and I believe most people throughout the
world know that Joe Biden's mental decline was the worst
in modern times. Yeah, his wife Jill basically was the gatekeeper,
the only one. I'd say that was not even close.
It wasn't even close. But I'd say maybe Reagan second
(18:01):
term post around contra went on. Nancy Reagan was instrumental
in firing Don Reagan. And the worst ever probably was
if you agree, it was probably a Woodrow Wilson when
he had that massive stroke. Yeah, you can the League
of Nations, Yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
No, I mean I think, look, there's there's a little
bit of that with Reagan second term at the end, definitely,
but you could you know, he was also out and
about in public. I remember watching and I remember that
time very well because that's really when I came of
age politically, because I graduated high school, I was graduating
college in the eighties, and I love Reagan. That's why
(18:41):
I'm a Republican now. So I did watch that presidency
very closely, and yes, you could see him slip a
little bit, but he still you could tell he still
had a lot of it left at the end, and
he would not have run for a Let's say that
was how he was in the first term. He would
not have run for a second term in that condition,
(19:01):
or people wouldn't have allowed him to. Obviously, Jill Biden
and I'm not even gonna call her doctor Jill, Jill
Biden is implicit in all of this. It was all
about the Bidens. Wanted the number one transportation network in
the world. They wanted the Air Force one, they wanted
the beast, they wanted the greatest, you know, senior elderly
(19:25):
care center in the world, the White House. That's what
they wanted. They could care less about the country. And
the fact that she was pushing him to run for
a second term in that condition went Remember a couple
of times he got on stage and he walked over
and he thought someone else was his wife? And how
(19:46):
many times did she have to pull him off? Steve
in Central Jersey, You're on seven to ten, wor Hey, Steve.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Hey, Rob Rob about Jim comey, nothing is going to
happen to him or come of that and into it
you swerved in a little while ago. Well, but why
did he do it. He's going to be walking a book.
He needed to get his name back in the limelight.
Number one. Number two, he knew nothing was going to happen.
Why he still has connections in the deep state? I
(20:17):
believe my humble opinion. But just look at how they
handled it rob and that they haven't impaneled the grand jury,
doesn't look like they're gonna where he'd be under oath,
and the FBI is not interviewing him where we know
if he lied, he lies to them, that's a crime.
Who interviewed and robed the Secret Service? I believe See
this is where I believe it. We're orchestrated. He still
has deep connections in the deep state.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
I'm not aware.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
I've heard other commentators say that if you lie to
the Secret Service, you could be prosecuted. If I'm wrong,
I'm not aware of that law. I'm not, but it
just so you know, and some I heard another commentator say,
and when he's interviewed by the Secret Service, they're just
taken note, they're just basically no takers and they'll take
down whatever he has to say.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Here's the big difference. Yet, they based on their notes,
based on let's say Cash Battel right, FBI director very
close to Trump. Cash Ptel can put somebody who he
trusts directly involved in that investigation, who could directly sit
down against Komy and say, okay, I got a bunch
(21:20):
of questions for you, and you're under oath, So they could.
I mean, the difference here is they they control the process. Now,
they could send it to a grand jury, they could
determine or press charges on their own, and then Komy's
gonna have to spend a hell of a lot of
money defending himself. Now, it may, in the end be
(21:41):
he gets off either by a jury or a judge
or or whatever. But to start the process itself, the
legal process is not fun, and he would have to
have an attorney and that's not cheap. So, you know,
I think it's not like he's just gonna get away
scott free. I don't. I'm not so sure that Trump
(22:04):
and the Attorney General and the FBI director, Trump's team,
we'll we'll let him just get off scott free, because
they're pissed at him. They're pissed at what Cally did
to him, did to Trump in that first term. So
I don't know, We'll see all right, one and three
two one zero seven ten. Rob Astarino. Here, let us
go to Pam in Patterson, New Joysey, Hi, Pam, hey Hey.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
The winning comment from Trump in response to Springstein was
be quiet, you're an old right up.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, that was the best. That was a best.
Speaker 9 (22:46):
You gotta have a laugh, right, you gotta laugh?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You do you do? And it's like, you know, that's
kind of it's kind of how I normally am, like, oh,
just shut up, screw you. But Trump, it's like he's
going to have the last word. He's going to have
the right hook and the left hook if you take
him on. You know, you could argue that, all right,
who cares? Who cares? But Trump's like, you know what,
(23:10):
I don't care you come after me. I'm I'm gonna
come after you. I don't care who you are, including
Bruce Springsteen. He probably secretly does like his music, but
he's now he's gonna make sure it's never played at
mar A Lago and he's gonna he's gonna go after him.
And I'm glad he is. Actually one in hundred three
two one zero seven ten, one in hundred three two
one zero seven ten. I'm gonna keep taking your calls
(23:32):
and uh and a little later. I have some observations
from my time, especially in Italy, and I did a
little more traveling too after I left Rome. But some
interesting differences between us here and and how they do
things over there. I'll let you in on that in
a little while. One hundred three two one zero seven ten.
(23:54):
Let's go to Carl here in Manhattan.
Speaker 10 (23:57):
Hey, Carl, Yeah, it's good afternoon, sir mistress. You know,
I like your show. It's good, and I just want
to point out one thing. Everybody's got the darts in
the hand ready to throw him at. Biden's incompetent, and
that certainly he was. He's been incompetent for quite a while.
(24:17):
They're verifiably competent. However, you have a lot of people
in elected and appointed offices throughout the government, principally Democrats,
I hate to say, who are not quite there altogether.
Like Schumer with his threats against the Supreme Court justice.
You have Bernie Sanders coming up with these fantastic apprecations
(24:39):
about oligarchs and stuff and frightening people. You have to
a congresswoman I forget her name in California. She's absolutely
out of it, completely out of it, screaming and yelling,
talking about taking it to the streets and pushing it.
And you have those people who who went to that center.
I believe it's in Jersey. Whose look, politicians, the mayor
(25:01):
who you know, they just obey the law. These people
need to be processed. They need to be at least
interviewed by competent psychiatrists or psychologists.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
And May. By the way, May is Mental Health Month.
So there's a whole bunch of Democrats that I think
could could use a little May mental health.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
It should be a requisite for their their office that
they they'd be required to submit to an interview in
front of a mental health specialist to determine if if
they're going off the deep end or they're just you know,
freedom of speech.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Now, to be fair, Carl and I appreciate the call.
We've got a couple of nuts on our side too,
But you know, they've got every sort, they've got almonds,
they've got they've got every type of nut possible. On
the left, we have a few, but but they that's
like that's in their DNA one three two one zero
(25:59):
seven ten one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Let's go to Patricia in Brooklyn. Hi, Patricia, Hey, Rob,
I'm so so.
Speaker 10 (26:11):
Do we lose her?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
We lost Patricia. You can try back. Let's go to
uh Jimmy and Minneola. Hi Jimmy, Hey, what's up.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
Rob.
Speaker 11 (26:20):
I'm glad you got to take my call. I'm weighing
in on Springsteen. So I was a big fan of
his music since the seventies. I still like the music.
I can't unhear it. I can't undo my youth, but
I stopped supporting anything he does when he started spewing
his nonsense ten years ago about Trump. And I will
say this I've been saying forever. I know they don't
(26:42):
want to weaponize government, but I hope and pray that
you know, he has some kind of a squad that
looks into de Niro and Springsteen and people like that,
and you know, go through their taxes, make sure nobody's
above the low, make sure they're squeaky clean like they
want him to be.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
So that's just my two sold on Jimmy, I got
a question for you, all right, Sure if I said
to you, I have two tickets front row and backstage
VIP meet and greet pictures, dinner afterwards with Bruce Springsteen,
(27:19):
and he's going to play some songs for you, just
you and your guest. Do you go or not?
Speaker 11 (27:25):
Okay, you heard me chuckle while you were saying it,
because I've answered this question for the last ten years
to people. I still listen to his music. I wouldn't
spend a nickel on anything he does.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
No, it's free, it's free.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
You told me you were giving me free tickets.
Speaker 11 (27:38):
I'll probably go to the show. No, no, no, no no.
And that's as far as it would go. And as
I said, it would just be for the musical value
and nothing more.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
All Right, I gotta call you a mini fraud here.
You should be saying, no, I'm not even going to
his concert.
Speaker 11 (27:54):
Oh you know, like I said, I gotta undo fifty
years from seventies. You know, I have to undo my
my teen years. You know, all the way, I still
like I said, I like the music so and one thing,
and I weigh in on a little bit of humor
that I heard the other day. I can't take credit
for this. It's a little offbeat, but the other day
one of the shows, I think it was a Midwest
(28:16):
politician and he used this term, and I'm still laughing
about it. Four days later, he spoke about Hakeem Jeffries.
He called him the dollar Tree version of Obama. I
just thought it was a classic line.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
That's good. Hey, I appreciate the call, Jimmy, thank you.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
Familiar.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
All right, Patricia is back ahead, Patricia, how are you?
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Yes?
Speaker 12 (28:35):
Well, I want to thank you. Your coverage of the
papal business was so beautiful. You you elevated my movie.
Speaker 10 (28:46):
You made me so happy.
Speaker 12 (28:49):
You were so descriptive, and I felt like I was there.
All right, I'm something around the other thing I wanted
to say. I think James Comy it's a wunatic. He
sounds like a mental midgard And.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
He's not a midget. He's really tall. I think he's
like six I.
Speaker 12 (29:09):
Pick something, miss with him, totally miss with him.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
Yeah you don't.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
He should get alive, really, Patricia, thank you. I hate
to admit it, but James Comy, former FBI director, is
a Westchester guy. He he grew up in Yonkers, and
I wish he didn't. Apparently one three two one zero
seven ten one in hundred three two one zero seven ten.
(29:39):
All right, Scott in the Bronx. How are you okay?
Scott in the Bronx? All right, they must be punished.
Take him off. You gotta have your the phone to
your ear and the and the radio down. That's like
radio caller one oh one. And and that wasn't your
(30:00):
first rodeo, Max and Manhattan? Go ahead, Max?
Speaker 13 (30:08):
You mentioned call me was from Westchester. But I think
you're the one who was the first one who was
calling out the illegal trafficking of aliens in Westchester, weren't you.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, we got the video, yep. And of course when
I confronted not just the media, but when I confronted
the Biden administration, I had a press conference showing the video.
They looked at me and what do you think they said? Racist?
They didn't deny it, but they they got off topic
(30:40):
and of course made it all about racism and how
horrible I am and blah blah blah, and then never
answered our questions. And that was the tip of the spear,
as we know, because they were flying them in directly
into Westchester from Texas. And that was just the beginning
of the Biden open border policy. But you think about it,
that was the federal government using our money to fly
(31:03):
illegal aliens into the interior of the country. Not it
wasn't only just like run across the border and you're in.
It's hey, we'll give you a big hand here, We'll
fly you across. Max Is Gone one hundred three two
one zero seven ten, one hundred three two one zero
(31:23):
seven ten. Sal in Westfield, New Jersey. Hey, sal Well, yes, Rob, Yes, Sal.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Was Yeah, I'm really really made about Springsteen going overseas
and doing that. Yeah, I mean that's like, really, I'm
the coolest stone pony and I'm gonna let them have it.
I swear to God, I'm gonna let them have it.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Now you should because this guy has a track record.
You know, I don't know if you know it is
non not that it's like a bad thing, but I
mean he's had his share of metal issues too, and
for him to do that, it's like real, really, I mean,
you can't tell what you mean? You what were you
talking about the guys we rail Man?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
No, I know, South, Thanks for the call. Look, they
are a lot of these Hollywood actors or entertainers, musicians,
even athletes like Lebron James I hated. I started hating
Lebron James. I loved a player that I saw, but
I hated the Lebron James that I heard, and so
(32:30):
I stopped watching. I stopped. You know a lot of
that came out of the NBA too, and I stopped watching.
It's like, I don't want to hear you. If I'm
paying good money to watch you on TV or go
see you just entertain me, I don't. I don't want
to hear your politics, and honestly, excuse me. Honestly if
(32:52):
I go to a concert, and even excuse me, even
if it's a Republican entertainer, Let's say, I don't necessarily
want other people to have to hear that either, that's
not what we went there. We don't go to listen
to your concert and hear you spu stuff. I want
to be entertained. One hundred three two one zero seven ten. Hmm, Oh,
(33:21):
I gotta do this. Benjamin Steakhouse, Oh my god, New
York City and Westchester. So Father's Day is coming up.

thinking about Benjamins. All right, So what's on their menu

(34:12):
That's kind of what I get when I go there.
So you can indulge in their famous and it is
one inch thick Canadian bacon, delicious jumbo lump crab cake,
and their delicious shrimp cocktail. You had a choice of
their sides, which are really good. Their home fries are
creamless creamed spinach. Yeah, creamless creamed spinach. What is that?

I've had it. It's good, But what's the cream or
what tastes like cream? I don't know. Anyway, enjoy the
summer weather, gorgeous outdoor patio, and you can, of course

More people want to talk, I'll take your calls. Why not,
I haven't talked in so long. One one hundred and
three to two one zero seven ten. The rob Astarno
show rolling along here on this Saturday, Okay, taking it
down the home stretch here. I love all these new
callers too. It's nice one hundred three to two one
zero seven ten. And it couldn't have come at a
better day because of my voice. So it's nice to
(35:44):
lighten my load by having some callers make some points
I have. I do have other things I want to
get to, so I will get to your calls. And
then I got some some things from Italy and Spain
I wanted to tell you about. But before I do so.
The other night, I'm coming back from jfk Land. After
you know, an eight and a half hour flight, you're
tired and you just want to get home. That's the
(36:05):
worst part is wherever you travel to it's always fun going,
but when your trip is over and you got to
come home, it's like, oh, if you could do time travel,
if you could be like Samantha and Bewitched and just
do that thing with your nose and then just end
up wherever you want to go, or I dream a
Genie likeduk a Duke Boom, I'm home in a minute
(36:27):
or not even a minute. It's like a split second.
That would be great, But you gotta you gotta travel.
So I get back from from Rome, I Land. You
go through customs. Actually wasn't so bad. But Newsmax they
give us these links for uber rides, and every time
I use these ubers, they go to I don't know
(36:48):
what it is, but they ended up going to the
wrong terminal. So I'm calling the driver and like I
can't understand him, and he's telling me where he is.
I'm like, but I'm here, meet me a year. I
just want to get in the damn car and get home.
So I was literally in the air flying back Delta,
so I had Wi Fi on my phone while I'm
(37:11):
thirty five thousand feet up, and I generally don't. I
really don't. I stay away from emails and all that
stuff while I'm flying because it's just like it's nice
to be away from it. But anyway, I'm like, you
know what, I'm not taking a Newsmax Uber. I could,
but I'd rather call Leros. I'd really would. I'd rather
just a professional car right there, my name up there,
(37:34):
I get there, boom, We're on our way. So I did.
I actually, from the plane, I texted someone at Leros
and I said, Hey, could I get a ride back? Whatever? Absolutely,
so I decided instead of instead of like the freebie
from up from Uber and Newsmax, I'm gonna I'm gonna
(37:54):
use Leros. And I did, and I'm grateful that I
did because I just wanted to get home. And they
are so good all the time. I use them for
my son who came home last week from from Little Rock.
I used them from my daughter who came back Wednesday
night from JFK when she came back from Spain. And
(38:15):
they're just fabulous. So if you know whether it's for
a loved one or for yourself, whether it's business or pleasure,
call Liros Liros point to point. They're just it's like
they're the professionals, they're the tops. Just don't I'm not
saying don't use uber if you want, go ahead. If
you're okay with a smelly car. Sometimes it's a crapshoot,
(38:37):
but it's gonna be nice. It's gonna be clean smelling
if it's Leros and a professional driver, So give him
a buzz Leros TG dot com, Leros l E r
O s TG dot com or call one eight hundred
eighty two Liros one eight hundred eighty two Liros. All right,
let me get to your calls. And then I got
an interesting thing, by the way, about the pope. Because
(39:00):
he's an American, does he have to pay taxes? Think
about that? All right? Charlie in Connecticut, Hey Charlie, how
are you? You're on the Rob Asta Reno Show.
Speaker 15 (39:14):
Hey rob how are you?
Speaker 11 (39:15):
Hey?
Speaker 15 (39:15):
Listen, just want a couple run a couple of things
by it. First of all, I think you should travel
more with Bernie Sanders. He'll take all your He'll take
care of all your traveling.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
And putting that in the ground private jet too.
Speaker 8 (39:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (39:26):
One. Number two the Pope has to pay. I think
up to he gets tax free, up to about one
hundred thousand dollars plus maybe plus a few thousand. That's
number two. But number three what I haven't heard in
the past couple of days regarding this Komi thing who
I think they should drill and wear him out in
court Number one? But two eight six and forty seven
(39:49):
days since nine to eleven. Have you heard that?
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Oh no, no, no, I didn't say that again.
Speaker 15 (39:56):
Yeah, so I heard the other day that it was
when that when that post, when that was posted, it
was eight six and forty seven days since nine to
eleven happened?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
Really, maybe you can research that.
Speaker 15 (40:10):
Yeah, I heard that, and I don't know if it's true.
I heard it on the radio actually some other talk
show hosts when I was driving. But I think, regardless
by comy posts and that, this is just my opinion,
and I think most of your listeners will agree. Just
wear that guy out, wear him out in court somehow,
hopefully you'll get him behind bars, but wear him out.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Well, that's that's what I was saying, Charlie, Thanks for
the call. That's exactly what I was saying, it's not
like he's going to do time. But you know what
to say. Okay, you want to play this game, fine, Okay,
you're gonna sit down with our agents. I'm sure you're
gonna have to hire a lawyer. We're going to maybe
send this to the grand jury. We're gonna do this.
We're gonna do that because you want to go up
(40:52):
against the federal government. You were on the other side.
You know the power of the federal government. And by
the way, you don't have any allies right now because
the guys in charge they're all Trump people, and they
can wear you down and the cast can cause you grief.
So if that's the if that's the game you want
to play, that's the stupidity, that's the crap you want
to do. Go ahead, but just know there are consequences.
(41:16):
You're not used to that. Democrats are not used to consequences,
because what do they say, nobody's above the law. Oh
wait a minute, is that true for everybody? I guess
it is, and they should find out. Kerry in Grantwich, Connecticut, Hi,
Kerry or on the Rob Astarino Show.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Yes, thank you, turn the radio down, thank you. I
liked the words of Springsteen's patriotic song, but I turned
against him a year or so ago when he got
caught driving drunk on his motorcycle in New Jersey.
Speaker 8 (41:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
So it's okay for him to potentially kill me or
anyone in my family or anyone else, but it's not
okay to have politics he dislikes. Yeah, and that's all
I have to say.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Well, Carrie, you can call anytime. Thank you very much.
It was a good observation. By the way, Michelle in
South Jersey. You're on seven ten wor Hi, Michelle.
Speaker 9 (42:08):
Hi, Thank you, Rob. I love your show and your
New York talk. And there's a may I tell you
there's some soothing throat drops that I like. Can I
tell you that name?
Speaker 2 (42:23):
You certainly can, Okay.
Speaker 9 (42:25):
They're called honeys h O N E E S okay,
And they got nothing but honey in it and something else.
But it's all natural and they sell them in everywhere supermarkets.
It's in a red bag.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
All right. I'll get to look for that honeys.
Speaker 9 (42:44):
Okay, kental free. It's really good. They're really nice.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Now I appreciate that, Michelle. Yes, thank you so much.
Speaker 9 (42:51):
God bless you and your loved one.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Thank you you too. All Right, last call is going
to be Dave from Peakskill Hi, Dave, how are you.
Speaker 8 (43:00):
Hi? Rob Listen. I know nobody mentioned this before, but
the first time I was aware Bruce Springston, I was
in the Okinawa in the Service, and for some reason,
I was around a bunch of New Jersey guys. Anyway,
they turned me on too, Bruce Springsteen, and they were
crazy for him. Nobody mentioned this, but in the eighties
(43:20):
is when I got disgusted with him. He turned on
Ronald Reagan and he was like a thorn in his side,
always making some stupid comments. So everybody's talking like it's
something new, but I go back a little so I
remember when he was sticking it to Reagan.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
Yeah, no, you're right. Look he said, Dave, thanks for
the call. He's a die hard Democrat. That's fine. I
have no problem with that. I don't you know. Look,
I'm a die hard conservative Republican. So I'm going to
root for my team and do everything I can for
my team, and there's a time and place for that.
But you also know that you're going to piss off
(43:56):
a lot of people who are your fans and like
you for who you are are and your music and
your talents, but not for what you say and do.
And when you do that and you rub it in
our face and tell us I hate you basically and
you're an ass for you know, supporting Donald Trump, then
you're talking directly to me, and I don't like that.
(44:16):
So I now give up on you. A couple of things.
On the Pope. On the Pope, so he is an American,
He is still an American citizen. I think he had
dual citizenship at one point. He was Peruvian too, because
he spent so much time there. And so the Vatican
is a city state. It's actually he's not just the
(44:38):
head of the Catholic Church, but he is the head
of state of the Holy See, which is the government,
the diplomatic arm, the bureaucracy, if you will, of the church,
and that is the Vatican, Vatican City. So it's likely
he will not pay taxes. But but I think the
(45:00):
filing threshold is seventeen thousand dollars of gross income for
a single taxpayer who is at a certain age, I believe,
and he qualifies for that. So it's unlikely because his
whatever money he receives either goes directly to the Augustinians,
which is the order that he's been with, and they
(45:25):
take the valve poverty, so everything goes to the nonprofit
the Augustinians, or it would go directly to the Holy See.
You know, So everything that he everything that he does,
his travel for instance, his housing, all that that is
work related and so he doesn't get tax on it.
So it's a good question. I don't actually know if
(45:48):
there is a if there is a renunration, if there's
a salary that goes along with being pope there is
for everyone else. Bishops, priests, they do have a salary.
It's not a lot because everything's paid for. Everything's taken
care of by their own church or diaces. But that's
what I gotta find that out. If the pope gets
(46:12):
the pope gets paid. I wonder, like every two weeks
is he checking his bank account. So a couple things.
First of all, I love going to Europe. I love Italy.
I've been there many times, obviously three times in the
last month and a half, whatever it is. But one
thing I've noticed, Italy especially has a graffiti problem, and
(46:36):
it's really sad because yeah, beautiful, like Rome is just
an amazing city, gorgeous. You just meander through these cobblestones
and all of a sudden you run into a church
that is relatively new because it's only six hundred years old,
but you see the ancient ruins and graffiti is so prevalent,
(47:02):
and it's disgusting. And it's not just there. I was
in Bologna, I went to Verona, and I went to
Milan and flew out of Milan. It's everywhere, and I
hope that they're not condoning this or think it's art.
It's disgusting and it's actually a turn off. I mean,
(47:22):
I guess we're used to it here and they're used
to it there. But when you have fresh eyes, when
Italians or Europeans come here and they're like they're on
the cross bronx and like, oh my god, this is disgusting,
or you know, we were over there and we're seeing
the same thing. One thing that they do it was warm.
(47:42):
It was very warm there. I mean it was comfortable,
but it was you know, sixties and seventies, probably more
so during the day. It was always in the seventies
and it got kind of warm. But they all dress
for the season. They don't dress for the weather. So
because it's springtime, they're wearing their sweaters, they're wearing their jackets.
(48:05):
And it's like I'm sweating. I'm in shorts and I'm
walking around and I look at these guys and they're
all like dressed and they're not sweating, but they're tressed nice.
And you know how you can tell the Americans who
the American tourists are. You can spot them anywhere. It's
so easy. Just look for the fat slobs that is
(48:28):
the American tourist. I hate to say it, but it
is so easy to check out, so easy to see
we're the ones in our t shirts and our belly
sticking out. And it's it's so true too, and you
know it, it is so true. I got more things.
(48:49):
I'll hold them till next week and I will definitely,
of course be with you next Saturday four o'clock and
of course catch me on Newsmax one to three on Saturdays.
You can always be part of the show as you
are today by calling up, listen to the show, or
send it to somebody via our podcast. And just thanks
(49:13):
for listening. I really do appreciate it so to all
our new callers, You're more than welcome you back next week.
