It's six minutes after six on WBT on this Monday,
October thirteenth, and as we come on the air, President
Trump is set to any moment now addressed the Israeli Parliament.
Of course, all twenty living hostages have been released from
Hamas captivity, and President Trump is set to make remarks
any moment now. In fact, let's see, let's see what

(00:23):
we got going on from the actual site there, Bernie,
just for a moment.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
Here, Thank you very much, mister President President Trump.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
So Beth, as you can hear right there, what's going
on here is a lengthy opening introduction of dignitaries that
are assembled there before the speech actually begins.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
And as we were watching, we saw them recognize Jared Kushner,
who was part of the conversation that happened in Egypt
just days ago. They recognized Steve Whitkoff and some other
dignitaries who have been pro present for these piece talks.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
So what we will do is monitor the developments there.
As soon as he begins speaking, we will join that
here on News Talk eleven ten WBT. And of course
it's going to be a busy morning. Mick Mulvany's gonna
be in studio with us in the final hour. So
that's very fitting on a Monday morning to help break
all this down. But a momentous day, of course, and
we'll continue to follow that for you meantime.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
On the side to let me know.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
All of these lines are being crossed over.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, I thought I wasn't going to start in the
usual fashion.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
You know, things are good.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
People who listen to this show have rhythms.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
Beth love, she borrows.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
There is no place safe and no safe place to
put in mind when you can feel the world.

Speaker 7 (02:02):
Sage.

Speaker 8 (02:23):
Yeah, I mean, it's it's great from where we are.
It's a great win today. Obviously, it's a long season.

Speaker 9 (02:29):
It's a week to week league.

Speaker 8 (02:31):
Right now, you know, we're excited, we're enjoying this win,
but you know next week we're gonna turn the page,
and you know it's it's for us. You know, we
have to figure out to be consistent. You know, we
have to put them together. We have to continue stacking in.
Right now for twenty four hours, we're gonna enjoy it,
but you know we're gonna come back. We already talked
about in the locker room everyone's dedicated to moving forward.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
So that's all it is. We're going to go want
to know too?

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Could that have been more perfect? In the background train
he was singing, I won't give up.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
If you don't give up, what's the bad? If I
didn't know I needed.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
To know the mashup we all didn't know we needed
Today three and three Carolina Panthers are five hundred for
the first time and I can't remember how long.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
And they're going to play the New York Jets.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
Is that a good thing?

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Okay, any team in the NFL you have to play
somebody next week, you might as well be This is
the Jets.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
The only team has not won a game this year
as the Jets.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Oh please let's beat them.

Speaker 6 (03:28):
Well, they almost won yesterday.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
They also Jim's Game WBT sports director. This is a
this is uncharted territory for Bryce Young. And it's been
a long time since, you know, Panther fans have felt
this way. But wow, I actually had a chance to
go to the game yesterday, and and you know, I've
been to games before. I've been to Dallas games before,
and there were a lot of Dallas Cowboy fans there.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yesterday but they were. They were doing the walk of
shame as they left.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
Because the walk of shame. Wow, what happened because they.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Lost shoes in their hands.

Speaker 10 (04:01):
Yeah, traditionally walk a shave mean something else.

Speaker 6 (04:04):
They yes, it does. Back to the topic though.

Speaker 10 (04:09):
Which is that, Yeah, you knew there would be a
lot of cowboy fans there and that the only thing
you could do is you can't prevent them from being there,
but you can make them quiet and leave home early
and go for home early and.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
Make them quiet.

Speaker 10 (04:19):
Yeah, yeah, they do get There was a lot of
energy in the stadium yesterday.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
It was fun to see that. And to win back
to back games at home before you know, at home.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
That's a big deal. Actually, it's been a while since
we've had that feeling, right, makes for a.

Speaker 10 (04:31):
Lot of good will because people are excited about having
something to cheer for.

Speaker 6 (04:35):
I mean, I get it.

Speaker 10 (04:35):
You spend a lot of money, you go there, you
invest your time and your money, and.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
It's like you see a bad performance. It's not fun.

Speaker 10 (04:41):
So for them to get that payoff this year has
been really cool.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
To see the Dilworth neighborhood grill sign. Have you seen
this yet?

Speaker 6 (04:48):
They've already got it up.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
They don't win any time it says, hey, Jerry Rico
had a good game.

Speaker 10 (04:51):
Huh, take a shots at other owners as had our owner.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Was he there yesterday?

Speaker 10 (04:57):
He walked right by the media cafeteria lunch. Rico and
Jerry Jones. Oh, Jerry great actor, old Jerry great actor
Jerry Jones.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
My son was asking me if he was there, and
I said, I think he goes to every game, no
matter where it is, right.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
No doubt.

Speaker 10 (05:11):
I don't know exactly where the box they sit in,
but they walked through the press box. It's funny every
day and then like we'll be there and like there
goes Michael Jordan, just like the most bizarre people that
you don't expect to see. Jerry Jones would be more expected.
I used to hate Dan Snyder. His entourage was like
thirty men as if you know, is.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
That how Jerry's is?

Speaker 5 (05:27):
He was smaller?

Speaker 6 (05:28):
I would probably say like half a dozen.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
He a small guy. Is he a big tall guy?

Speaker 10 (05:32):
No, I'd say he's probably like five ten someone okay,
because he used to be is very.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Tall, some five You know. It's interesting.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
My son has been watching the Dallas Cowboys documentary on Netflix,
which is like eight episodes long, and it's really really good,
even if you're not a Cowboys fan, which I'm not,
but I mean, it's interesting because it's Jerry and it's
you know, it's all the players.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
That you know of Dion and the his Smitt Smith
and Troy Aikman.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
But it's really But now I have a feeling there's
a whole new group of young, younger people who know
who Jerry Jones is when he walks by because he's
the star of that documentary. Now, so Panthers are three
and zero. We'll talk much more about this throughout the day,
but it is for two weeks in a row. Now,
a Panther's winning Monday.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
This is like I have to get used to this
all over again.

Speaker 10 (06:15):
We enjoy it and we embrace it, and we know
we got the Jets coming up. You can't predict exactly
how things will go, but we knew this was like
the more palatable part of our schedule with the Buffalo
Bills in Green Bay and some teams looming here, so
let's stock up, let's keep it going.

Speaker 9 (06:28):
It feels like a trap game. Let's not do that. Oh,
let's not do that.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Well, because Buffalo is on the other side.

Speaker 9 (06:33):
That's right. Don't look too far ahead.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
All right, six twenty one on WBT On this Monday,
October thirteenth, it's Bow and Beth here in the Tyboid
studio and monitoring events in Jerusalem. President Trump is set
to address the Israeli Parliament. He's been seemingly being introduced
for about twenty minutes here. Basically you have President Trump

(06:57):
and various dignitaries being recognized, and as soon as he
begins speaking.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
We'll bring that to you.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
But I thought it was going to start sooner than
it has, and it's still sort of going on in the.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Opening ceremonies, as it were.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
They're kind of going through formalities, introducing dignitaries, thanking President Trump,
and basically acknowledging all of the good that has happened
in the last seventy two hours. Really, like I was
saying earlier, they recognized Jared Kushner, they recognized Steve Whitkoff,
both of whom were involved in the conversations that happened
in Egypt several days ago, and they are now. I

(07:35):
think it looks like they're about to introduce President Trump
as he makes remarks to the dignitaries who are in
this room.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Before we get to that, I want you to well,
I'm watching this as we speak.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Is he or is he not?

Speaker 3 (07:51):
For the moment here, I want to play a little
audio from President Trump board Air Force one on his
way to Jerusalem.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
This was several hours ago.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Reporters had a chance to ask him about what has
happened in the last several days and what's going to
happen today.

Speaker 11 (08:05):
In terms of the politics of this historic case deal
that we're on the way to go sign right now.
You would think it's good for everybody.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
But at a rally this.

Speaker 11 (08:14):
Weekend, they were cheering for you and they were booing
met yambo.

Speaker 12 (08:18):
What's up with that?

Speaker 13 (08:20):
I don't know. But we're gonna make everybody happy.

Speaker 14 (08:23):
The one thing I can tell you is everybody is happy,
whether it's Jewish or Muslim or the Arab countries. Every
country is dancing in the streets. And it's a point
in time. I don't think you'd ever seen it again.
They've never seen it for three thousand years. If you
like one group, you don't like the other group. And
if you like the other group, you don't like the

(08:43):
first group, and this is the first time they've ever
seen where everybody is unified, because, as you know, we're
going to Egypt after Israel, and we're going to meet
all of the leaders of the very powerful and big
countries and very rich countries and others, and they're all
into this deal.

Speaker 13 (09:02):
Everybody's into it. It's never happened before.

Speaker 14 (09:05):
I would say this is a lot tougher, but we'll
see how it all works.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
President Benjamin Netanya, who the Prime Minister, has not gone
so far as to say the war is over. And
your view is the war between.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
His wars over, the war is over.

Speaker 13 (09:19):
Okay, do you understand that.

Speaker 11 (09:22):
The president he's the seasply getting to hold and you're
confident the sea spile will hold, and say it, Are
you confident that the ceasefire is going to hold?

Speaker 13 (09:29):
Think? So, I think it's gonna hold.

Speaker 14 (09:31):
I think people are a lot of reasons why it's
gonna hold.

Speaker 13 (09:37):
But I think people are tired of it.

Speaker 14 (09:39):
It's been it's been centuries, okay, not just recent, it's
been centuries.

Speaker 13 (09:44):
I think people are tired of it. Yeah, the seasfire
is gonna hold.

Speaker 15 (09:47):
And now the international stabilization coals that's part of a.

Speaker 13 (09:54):
Good strong force.

Speaker 14 (09:57):
I don't think he's gonna have a big imback because
I don't think I I think barely we're gonna have
to use it.

Speaker 13 (10:02):
I think people are going to.

Speaker 14 (10:03):
Behave everybody knows their place. It's going to be great
for everybody. It's going to be great for the surrounding countries,
arab Bus of all of them, it's going to be
great for issue. Everybody is happy, and I think it's
gonna stay that way.

Speaker 11 (10:17):
Peter, And if this, if this piece, if the ceasefire
does hold, how long until we get to the part
of the twenty point piece of plan where developers can
go in and make Gaza.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
All right, let's bring it back to right now, because
Benjamin net and Yahoo has taken the microphone and we're
going to join that in progress right now.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
President of the United States Donald J. Trump, Welcome, Eternal Capital, Welcome.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Lisael to Israel.

Speaker 13 (11:04):

hour ago, all our lives returned back to us. What excitement,

So we will monitor this for you, and if President
Trump begins speaking, we'll join that as it happens. But
you have Benjamin Net and Yahoo addressing uh the parliament
there in Israel. It's one one twenty seven pm in
the afternoon in Jerusalem right now.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
And it's obvious that they are very excited to welcome
President Trump there and and honor him for his part
in in in this piece deal. Benjamin net and Yahoo,
I think is very rarely at what seems like a
law for words, and I think he is he it
was him a debt of gratitude and feels that way.

Speaker 16 (13:07):
Six thirty eight on WBT So we had two more
episodes of october Fest over the weekend, and the one
on Saturday night was none other than Bernie Balls and
Sir Stephen of Anthony, some more.

Speaker 9 (13:20):
Steve than me. I showed up late. Steve had to carry.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
You were late to your own party?

Speaker 17 (13:24):
Yes, Stephen and Nick Lazorchik, the great producer that he is,
he was been in every firemate late to my own Yeah,
he was able to, Yeah, famously famously that's mine.

Speaker 6 (13:34):
Can you have plenty of heads up for I did.

Speaker 9 (13:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (13:36):
It was my wife's early birthday dinner with her family,
so I was able to go to that, and I
left a little bit early so I could get back
to the house for uh October Fest with.

Speaker 9 (13:43):
Steve Anthony featuring Nikola Zorchik.

Speaker 12 (13:45):
It's all good, man. I fell a bustered for you.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
He did.

Speaker 13 (13:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (13:47):
It was first about ten or fifteen, six fifteen, and
I was like, hey, I'm here.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Everything go okay?

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Did you answer all the questions, the salacious questions about
what happens behind the scenes here?

Speaker 13 (13:58):
Uh?

Speaker 12 (13:58):
Yes, all of the uh the wildly controversial opinions and
topics that were brought up in the chat, Yes.

Speaker 10 (14:03):
We do.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
What were the salacious stories you told or what were
the salacious questions? You were asked?

Speaker 12 (14:09):
How much does Bernie have to keep Bow and Beth
on time?

Speaker 18 (14:12):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (14:14):
They asked a person who showed up late.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (14:16):
Actually they asked how much I contributed, how much I
contributed to the show planning, and I was like, Bo
and Beth do that throughout the day, and then now
we have a show sheet thanks to Steve, where we
can kind of follow along. But there are times where
you know, Steve will reach out to a guest and
get them booked, but for the majority of the time,
you guys will do a lot of your own booking.

Speaker 9 (14:33):
And then they asked about.

Speaker 17 (14:34):
You know, how organic is it, you know in the studio,
and I say, we come with a loose bow, will
throw something out there, and all the stuff that you
hear on air is organic. I mean, unless it's something
that someone said in a break that sparks something for
Bo where he wants to go down a certain road.
That's the only time I feel like we have any
idea where we may be going.

Speaker 9 (14:54):
So I of course it's a great thing.

Speaker 12 (14:56):
Though I shamelessly promoted the seventeenth segment because we have
We've talked about that on the seventeen segment podcast about
how we're not scripted. It's just one of those like
we just say whatever happens.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
To come out, well, okay, so so yes, we we
we we pride ourselves and allowing the show to go
where it needs to go sometimes being real.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
We put ourselves on being real.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
But I mean we have when we sit down, when
you and I sit down, we have like forty different
ways we are.

Speaker 6 (15:25):
Prepared to go.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yes, right, yes, when you say that's the.

Speaker 12 (15:28):
There's preparation, but not there. It's not scripted. I think
a lot of people were like, well, you know, is
it and and like we talked about on last week's
episode of the seventeen segment, go download, subscribe, you know,
watch whatever. Yeah exactly, Yeah, like subscribing comment I think
is yeah or pay off.

Speaker 9 (15:45):
But like we talked about, is Venmo.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Is right, Joseph, we've been doing this wrong. We need
to give ut Venmo.

Speaker 12 (15:53):
Do our Patreon is available at But you know that
it's like, okay, well this is what we're going to
do in this segment. But it's not a you know,
so Beth, here's your lines, bo here's your lines, and
Jim you're gonna say this, and Bernie you know.

Speaker 13 (16:04):
I hear.

Speaker 6 (16:04):
We think it'd be my lines.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
I know, I know.

Speaker 12 (16:06):
And sometimes the handwriting is just so difficult to read.

Speaker 6 (16:09):
I'm not reading this, I can't read this well.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
There was a time when I took over this job
in twenty twelve. I'm not saying the whole show is
this way, but there was. There was something that you
read going into every hour, which was new to me.
So that is not how we operate now.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
When I came here, I was like, I'm no longer
reading out loud. Guys, I did that for twenty years.
I'm not doing it anymore.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
No teleprompters.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
No teleprompters are scripting.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
So you guys had fun without us? Is that what
you're trying to say?

Speaker 12 (16:38):
We had fun, but it would have been more fun
with the rest of the team.

Speaker 17 (16:44):
You mean us, No, sure, Let's just say if me, Steve,
and Nick had an intimate dinner with all of our
guests that enjoined the.

Speaker 10 (16:54):
Stream, we would not do an airway production.

Speaker 9 (16:56):
We would not have to wait very long for a table.
It was not a large crowd.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Oh so it could have been a dinner.

Speaker 17 (17:02):
It was very It was just an intimate conversation with
the producers of WBT.

Speaker 9 (17:05):
And I don't mean it in that way.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
Jim, that's fun, intimacy, intimate.

Speaker 6 (17:09):
Actually, I didn't think of it that way till you
said that.

Speaker 9 (17:11):
Boy.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
Well, and I'm kind of grossed.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
Out last night if we're going down that road last
night was what Jensen and and Vince Cochley.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
How did that happen?

Speaker 8 (17:21):
Wait?

Speaker 6 (17:21):
Why are we going down that road? What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (17:24):
What do you say you're looking for an intimate dinner
for two? That was last night. So this is all all.
I just wanted to see how things.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Went, and they went well, yes, and I think so
anybody wants to go watch it.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
It's on demand.

Speaker 12 (17:37):

lengthy introduction, And we'll continue to monitor that and we'll

ten before seven o'clock on WBT on your Monday morning.

(18:54):
Washington Post says, the trendiest TVs now are tiny old
ones that you to have in your kitchen when you
were growing up if you are from a certain era.
And I think all of us in this room, or
most of us had that TV in the kitchen.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Maybe you even had two of them.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
But nobody has two television sets, do they Not in
one kitchen, not in one kitchen. But nostalgia for the
esthetics and phone free days of the nineties are driving
the many TV resurgence. And these are not you know,
these are not plasma TVs. These are not LED TVs.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
These are the old tube TVs.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
These are the old box TVs that basically look like
a toaster that are big square boxes and oftentimes have
a built in VCR toaster.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
They do, and they have you know, an antenna on
top that you you could use if you needed.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
And a handle, a built in handle on top for
easy carrying in case you wanted to move it from
the kitchen to another room.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
I still have one of these too.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
It's a Sony Trenetron is what they used to call them,
as a little tiny white TV.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
And this is no joke.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
The reason that I bought it in the first place
is because when I used to work in this room
in high school, they used to have two of these
TVs that you could see. We don't have the right
now if you all can't see this, but as we're
talking right now, we have these you know, four TVs
that hang down from the ceiling, flat the flat.

Speaker 6 (20:15):
Screen of the art one.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah, the flat flat screen ones that you see in
lots of places, pretty commonplace nowadays, But back then that
we had two of these tube TVs that would sit
on the counter in the studio. One of them had
the Radar plus the Doppler radar plus, and the other
one had you know, whatever cable channels we could get
in the room.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
It was kind of like in house cable through WBTV.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
But anyway, I liked that little white one so much
I bought one for home and I still have it
because I used to settle on my table and now
it's downstairs in my little studio. So I still have
the trenotron that hooked up to my old VCR.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
We did not I did not grow up with TV
in the kitchen. We did not have TVs in the
kitchen in the But.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Did you all act to act the shows out?

Speaker 6 (21:00):
And we did.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
We would act them out in real time in the kitchen.
We just weren't allowed to if we were eating at
the table, we weren't allowed to have a TV on
or kind of near in the vicinity. The only time
we were allowed to watch TV is if we put
dinner on a TV tray, and we were told we
could go in and put eat dinner on the TV
tray in front of the TV. But we didn't have

(21:21):
one of these, but I know exactly so many friends
parents did, and like moms would have their cooking shows
on while they were, you know, cooking in the kitchen
or doing I kind of like the background noise of
a TV when I'm cooking, but I don't have a
TV in my kitchen.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
Now, big bang theory, Big big no, because that'll put
me to sleep.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
But I like these I like the idea that gen
Z is wanting to bring back all of these things.
They're bringing back the little snappy cameras, they're bringing back landlines,
and now we're bringing back to TV.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
We've been playing like a record players last couple years.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
Record Players Vinyl is back. I am not mad about
this trend. If we could just get rid of smartphone
and get rid of social media, I think the world
would be a better place.

Speaker 13 (22:04):
All right.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
So President Trump is working his way to the podium
right now, and we are going to go to that. Bernie,
let's bring that up. And of course, before we.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Do that, WBT breaking News.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Get our own formalities out of the way.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
President Trump in Jerusalem, where it is one fifty three
in the afternoon, just introduced by Benjamin nettan Yahoo as
President Trump is going to speak after all twenty living
hostages have been released from Hamas captivity. This is live
audio from the Israeli Parliament as we speak on a
Monday morning, October thirteenth.

Speaker 19 (22:39):
Yeah, okay, and it kabelas mink at all shop posits
hawl Can I see it?

Speaker 13 (22:54):
Yeah you lapide.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Well, he was in front of the microphone and now
he has stepped off stage shaking some hands with some
dignitaries there. Now appears to be headed back to the microphone.
And this is very much of a moving target for
us today as we're watching these developments happen. But again,
this is live audio from the Israeli Parliament on this
Monday morning.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Now he's sitting down again.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
He just sat back down. He just said thank you
in front of the microphone and then stepped off away
from the podium.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
We were just faked out, ladies and gentlemen. But we
do not want you to miss these comments on this
momentous day. So I we'll say once again we will
continue to monitor developments out of Jerusalem and bring you
President Trump's comments when they happen. Now back to our
conversation about old TV.

Speaker 5 (23:47):
If only we had a little tube TV sitting right
here on our desk, we could keep eyeing, we could
keep it one I on this situation in Israel and
the breaking news.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
President Trump sat down again.

Speaker 5 (24:01):
But we just got a message from Scott on the
text line. Was very excited about bo our old television conversation.
He says, we had won in an hour kitchen and
every afternoon after school, watch my mom cook dinner, and
we would also watch Oprah and the Andy Griffith Show
and then the news while dinner was happening.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
That meant you were watching Channel nine because that's what
that was the lineup. I remember when Channel nine got
the rights to Andy Griffith from WBTV, and that was
a big deal back in the day because now it's
kind of the same way whoever has Jeopardy and Wheel
of Fortune. But back then, like like watching Andy Griffith

(24:40):
before and it was before the news or after the news,
I can't remember, but it was it was basically sandwiched
around the news because that's what everybody wanted to see.
Your routine back in the day, back in these parts
was to watch a little news, watch a little Andy Griffith,
little little national news probably Opah, Yeah, well Oprah, so
the Oprah and then Andy Griffith and then local news
and then national news.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
That was the deal.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
I mean, I don't know about you guys, but when
I was growing up, I guess because my mom had
Oprah on I was obsessed. And this is not going
to surprise any of you. With Oprah's book Club, she
would recommend books and those books would sell out and
I would get so excited to read the book and
then listen to the discussion with the author on Oprah's show.

Speaker 9 (25:22):
People would fight for that endorsement.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Oh yes, I thought it was the I found out
about so many great books that way. And would this
was especially in college? I would?

Speaker 1 (25:31):
I think.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
I think I might have been late high school, early
college when she started the book club.

Speaker 12 (25:37):
Book under your.

Speaker 5 (25:37):
Chair, I know, and then like the do.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
You get a car? You get a car, and you
get a car.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
And then then after the nightly news, if you're watching
Channel nine, it was Entertainment Tonight with Mary Hart and
John Tesh. Yes, if you're watching WBTV, it was PM
Magazine with Bob Lacy and Morri Quinn. And that was
how you did things in Charlotte. Yeah, and back in
those days, you know, Channel thirty six didn't.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
Have a new yet.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Oh wow, wow, they eventually did.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
I remember when when it was w PCQ back then,
not CNC yet, but I remember when they got their
news because they did news at five thirty and nobody
did that yet.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
We were we were, we were groundbreaking.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
And Larry Larry Sprinkle did the weather from outside.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
What was her if it was a Jesse Johnson, Oh,
Jesse Johnson and Tom Millers and I loved Jesse Johns.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
And who did the sports, Jim Selania. That was the lineup.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
That was the lineup back in the day, and it
was it was Larry Sprinkle did Actually he did weekends
to begin with.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
And there was a guy named Steve Rawley who did weather.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
Do you know what I would like I would like
it if I could get one of these tube TVs,
put it in my kitchen and watch programming from the
eighties actually and news from the eighties, because wouldn't it
be great if if the controversy was you know, I
can't even think of what controversies we had in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
It was PTL that pretty much.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
What TL It was PTL.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Jim Baker that Jim Baker's done it again.

Speaker 8 (26:58):
Okay, well we'll take this home run through them with
a fine tooth comb Cross the T's and Dotty Snorecase Chick.

Rico Dowdell Hey, team record two hundred and thirty nine yards.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Wait le scrimmage.

Speaker 21 (27:46):
Okay, let's talk about your defense killing the run game today.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Hey, they got theirs, they got theirs. They made some plays. Guys,
that's life, that's football. You just keep playing, you keep believing.

Speaker 12 (28:02):
Can you picture?

Speaker 21 (28:03):
Can you imagine where we could go if we played
together like that every game, just executing one play at
a time, one play at a time.

Speaker 13 (28:11):
What a beautiful finish, guys.

Speaker 9 (28:12):
I'm so proud of this group. I'm proud of what
we're doing.

Speaker 22 (28:15):
Though.

Speaker 21 (28:15):
It's the process that leads to these results, because you
guys believe in what we're doing and we keep pushing
it and we keep growing.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Okay, I love this group.

Speaker 9 (28:23):
Proud of you guys, y'all.

Speaker 23 (28:24):
Hey fanmil three three Carolina Panthers three and three, heading
to New York next week play the winless New York
Jets beaten.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yesterday, the Carolina Panthers beaten the Dallas Cowboys thirty to
twenty seven at Bank of America Stadium, and so they're
undefeated at home. And all of the sudden, this team
feels like it can do something. And all of the sudden,
I look up and President Trump is speaking.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
So we are gonna go live to that right now
about the Panthers. As soon as I go down the
Panthers road, the President starts speaking.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
So we're gonna go live to Jerusalem, where it is
two nine pm.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Here is the Presidents.

Speaker 14 (29:17):
After two harrowing years and darkness and captivity, twenty courageous
hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families.

Speaker 13 (29:28):
And it is glorious.

Speaker 14 (29:30):
Twenty eight more precious loved ones are coming home at
last to rest in this sacred soil for all of time,
and after so many years of unceasing war and endless danger,
Today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the
sirens are still, and the sun rises on a holy

(29:51):
land that is finally at peace, a land and a
region that will live, God willing in peace for all eternity.

Speaker 13 (30:07):
This is not only the end of a war.

Speaker 14 (30:11):
This is the end of a age of terror and
death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope.

Speaker 13 (30:18):
And of God.

Speaker 14 (30:20):
It's the start of a grand concord and lasting harmony
for Israel and all the nations of what will soon
be a truly magnificent region. I believe that so strongly.
This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.
I want to express my gratitude to a man of

(30:41):
exceptional courage and patriotism whose partnership did so much to
make this momentous stay possible.

Speaker 13 (30:49):
You know who I'm talking about. There's only one.

Speaker 14 (30:52):
Prime Minister, Benjamin met Yahoo, please stand up.

Speaker 13 (31:15):
And he is not easy. I want to tell you
he's not the easiest guy to deal with.

Speaker 24 (31:22):
But that's what makes him great. That's what makes them great.
Thank you very much, baby, great job.

Speaker 13 (31:42):
I love you.

Speaker 14 (31:42):
Also convey my tremendous appreciation for all of the nations
of the Arab and Muslim world that came together to
press some oas to set the hostages free and to
send them home.

Speaker 13 (31:55):
We had a lot of help.

Speaker 14 (31:56):
We had a lot of help from a lot of
people that you wouldn't suspect.

Speaker 13 (32:00):
Want to thank them very much for that.

Speaker 14 (32:02):
It's an incredible triumph for Israel in the world to
have all of these nations working together as partners in peace,
and it's pretty unusual for you to see that, but
it happened in this case. This was a very unusual
point in time, a brilliant point in time. Generations from now,
this will be remembered as the moment that everything began

(32:27):
to change, and change very much.

Speaker 13 (32:28):
For the better.

Speaker 14 (32:31):
Like the USA right now, it will be the golden
age of Israel and the golden age of the Middle East.

Speaker 13 (32:38):
It's going to work together.

Speaker 14 (32:40):
I'd like to thank several great American patriots for their
invaluable help in getting something done that almost everyone thought
was absolutely impossible.

Speaker 13 (32:50):
We were wasting our time.

Speaker 14 (32:52):
So many people said, you're just wasting your time, but
we weren't because we had talented people working with us.
We had people that loved your country and frankly, people
that loved the region. They loved the Middle East. I
want to thank my friend Steve Whitcoff. You know, Steve

(33:36):
was chosen by me. We never did this before, but
I knew him as a few things. He was a
great businessman, but I know a lot of great businessmen.
To be honest with you, he had tremendous negotiating skills.
But I know a lot of people that negotiate pretty well.
Although it is an art, but there are people that

(33:56):
can negotiate pretty well.

Speaker 13 (33:57):
But most importantly with Steve, he's just a great guy.

Speaker 14 (34:02):
Everybody loved him.

Speaker 13 (34:05):
Everybody.

Speaker 14 (34:09):
I mean, I know some negotiators that are so good.
But you wouldn't have had peace in the Middle East.
He would be in World War three right now with
some of these guys. Everybody loves Steve and they respect him,
and they somehow can relate to him. I've known him
for many years and I've seen it over over and

(34:29):
over again.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Please this, can I member please expel this Knessic member?

Speaker 13 (34:43):
No, don't think.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Can I member.

Speaker 13 (34:51):
Please explain him immediately?

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Sorry for that, mister President.

Speaker 13 (35:20):
That was very efficient.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
So you can't see this on the radio, obviously, but
two members of the what appeared to be the Israeli
Parliament have been expelled from the room after causing some
sort of demonstration.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
They've been escorted out.

Speaker 13 (35:38):
He's but I tell one story because he was so involved.

Speaker 14 (35:51):
And then we called in Jared, Well it we need
that brain on occasion.

Speaker 13 (35:56):
We gotta get Jared in here. We gotta get.

Speaker 14 (35:58):
A certain group of people. But Steve started this all
by himself. I call him Henry Kissinger, who doesn't leak.

Speaker 13 (36:06):
Okay, Henry is a big leaker. He leaked.

Speaker 14 (36:11):
Steve doesn't leak. Steve just wants to get the job done.
He wants to do what's right. But I'll give you
just a quick story because as you know, he's working
on the war with Russia and Ukraine, a war that
would have never happened if our were president.

Speaker 13 (36:25):
A shame.

Speaker 14 (36:25):
Seven thousand young soldiers a week are being killed more
than that this last week.

Speaker 13 (36:32):
It's a shame that had never happened. But it did happen, and.

Speaker 14 (36:37):
We won the race, and I took over this horrible
war that's been raging, and I thought it would be.

Speaker 13 (36:44):
Easily settled. I thought it was a.

Speaker 14 (36:45):
Hell of a lot easier than doing what we just
did very successfully with Israel and a lot of other people.
But this came first, and we'll get that one. But
I set up a meeting for him to meet with
President Poote thinking it would be a fifteen or a
twenty minute meeting.

Speaker 13 (37:03):
Steve had no idea about Russia. I had no idea.

Speaker 14 (37:05):
About Putin too much, didn't know too much about politics,
wasn't that interested.

Speaker 13 (37:10):
He was really good at real estate.

Speaker 14 (37:12):
But he had that quality that I was looking for,
and I didn't see it around in too many ways.

Speaker 13 (37:17):
And I set.

Speaker 14 (37:18):
Up the meeting with Putin and I called I said, uh,
is Steve finished yet?

Speaker 13 (37:23):
That was about half an hour into the meeting.

Speaker 14 (37:26):
No, sir, he's not. He's still inside. This is in Moscow.
I said, well, how's he doing. I don't know, sir,
he's still inside. I called up an hour later, let
me speak to Steve. Sir, he's still with Putin. He's
with President Putin. I said, wow, it's a long meeting.
One hour. I called up. An hour later, he is
still with Putin. Three hours later he was still with Putin.

(37:47):
Four hours later he started to get the word that
he was going to be coming out soon, and in
five hours he came out. I said, what the hell
were you talking about for five hours? And he says,
just a lot of interesting things. We're talking about a
lot of interesting things, including what he went in there

(38:09):
for but you can't talk about it for five You
could talk about it for a certain period of time
and you know what you're getting.

Speaker 13 (38:16):
But that's a talent. That's a talent. Well you can
do that.

Speaker 14 (38:19):
Most people ad send in number one, they wouldn't be
accepted number two. If they were the meet he would
last five minutes.

Speaker 13 (38:26):
And that's what happens with Steve. Everybody loves him.

Speaker 14 (38:29):
They love him on this side, they love him on
the other side, and he really is he's a great
negotiator because he's a great guy.

Speaker 13 (38:37):
So thank you very much, Steve, very much.

Speaker 14 (38:55):
And let me also give a very special thanks to
someone who truly loves Israel. In fact, loves it so
much that my daughter converted.

Speaker 13 (39:09):
My daughter converted.

Speaker 25 (39:11):
I didn't know this was going to happen. And Ivanka
is here and bbe you do know this was not

(39:36):
in the cards for me.

Speaker 13 (39:38):
You understand that. And she is so happy and they
are so happy. At least I think they're happy. If
they're not, we have a big story right now. They
have a great marriage and they get along great, they're
best friends.

Speaker 14 (39:52):
They have a very special relationship with Jared has been
so helpful he.

Speaker 13 (39:59):
Really is something very special.

Speaker 14 (40:03):
He established the Abraham Accords with a group of very
wonderful people. I like calling it the Avraham Accords because
people that.

Speaker 13 (40:16):
What Avraham.

Speaker 14 (40:20):
It's so cool, it's so much sort of nicer, you know,
the Abraham versus the Avraham. I just don't want to
sound too sanctimonious when I do it, so you know,

(40:41):
I sort of split it up this where we keep
everybody happy, but we have some very great talent, and
they have no excuses for anything that's taking place because
we had some unbelievably good people working on this. And
then you going to add a man named Marco Rubio

(41:03):
who's also here. That's right, and I have a prediction

(41:27):
that Marco will go down. I mean this as the
greatest secretary of State in the history of the United States.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
I believe that you're listening to President Trump making comments
at the Israeli Parliament. It is two twenty one pm
in the afternoon in Jerusalem. This following all twenty living
hostages being released from Hamas captivity overnight. President Trump speaking
right now live on News Talk eleven to ten WBT.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
This time for a little high lighthouse.

Speaker 15 (41:58):
Teachers go from He's talk eleven ten and ninety nine
three DOUBLET common sense.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
This is your wake up Cole, get your mother. This
is good morning beat with both humpson and bed trout.

Speaker 13 (42:12):
This place is a mountain of goodness and a mixed
up work.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Good morning.

Speaker 26 (42:28):
Rico Swabe, seventh player with two straight games of two
hundred and twenty five plus scrimmage yards since nineteen seventy
in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
Hey, this is Rico, Rico Suave or Rico Dowdell, Uncle,
Rico col Rico. I mean names on that list. I
just mentioned Walter Payton, Marshall, Falk, Deuce McAllister, Josh Gordon, Le'Veon, Bell,
Dalvin Cooking.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Now Rico Dowdell yesterday.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
And he's a panther.

Speaker 10 (43:00):
So, Mike, I think that's the premise of the story.
Here's a jaguar, we part with it.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
So here's my question.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
And I think I have him on my fantasy team.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
No, you know you didn't do that. I was thinking yesterday,
but don't you wait.

Speaker 5 (43:17):
But didn't I handcuff him or do something weird.

Speaker 9 (43:19):
We're gonna put it. It's weird tomorrow. I was trying
to explain any of the.

Speaker 17 (43:24):
Situation to Beth when you get two running backs that
are in the same backfield.

Speaker 6 (43:29):
I know, it's just hearing best say I handcuffed.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Yeah, yeah, I know, and then that kind it means
something different when it's said by a different person. Burnieky
I thirty to twenty seven. Panthers now three and three
for the first time in a long time at five
hundred this far into the season. They played the New
York Jets next weekend in New York. Jets have not

(43:52):
won a game all season, and so now all of
a sudden, boy, I mean, what what could happen with
this team? To that's point about about the uh the
running back situation? What do they do with Cuba Hubbard
when he gets healthy? Now do does he return to
the starting room?

Speaker 1 (44:08):
People?

Speaker 6 (44:08):
Listen, listen.

Speaker 10 (44:09):
Do you remember D'Angelo Williams Jonathan Stewart are the same team?
Do you remember Steven Davis to Sean Foster, this is
what you want, you want?

Speaker 6 (44:17):
I was on fn Z.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
They got people calling we need to trade Chuba.

Speaker 10 (44:20):
No, can we not enjoy the fact that we have
two good players at the same of course I remember
D'Angelo and Jonathan Stewart, But I'm asking you, like who
is one and who's one eight. I wouldn't mess with
a winning streak, whether it's baseball, basketball, whatever, And you
have the excuse if you needed one, that Cuba's coming
off an injury, so I wouldn't mess with the flow.
I'd have Rico out there first and then Cuba getting
out there to play if he's healthy, which I assume

(44:42):
he will be for this week.

Speaker 6 (44:43):
But you don't mess with a winning streak.

Speaker 10 (44:45):
You wear the same clothes, same underwear, socks, sucks, sacks.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
You haven't washed him, you just keep wearing two game
winning streak, three and oh at home.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Dave Canalis after the game, so.

Speaker 20 (44:57):
Proud of this group that just continues to fight and
scratch claw and just get it done. And the end
of the day, it's what do you do with the
last possession and the defense? You know, gave up some
yards and you know, Dak Prescott, George Pickens had a
great day. Got to give the Cowboys a lot of
credit for the offense that they produced today, But the
defense came through for us when we needed it and

(45:17):
to get us the ball back, give us another chance
to get down there and get into field goal range
right there, and for Ryan to hit that his first
career game winner was amazing because it just ties the
whole group and everybody had to do their part right
there at the end to win this game. So I'm
so proud the way the team keeps coming together to
find good football when we need it.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Deal with neighborhood grill.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
The Marquis says this morning, Hey, Jerry Rico had a
good game.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Huh.

Speaker 6 (45:42):
So there's that on top of the Micah Parsons. Oops. Yeah, boy,
you have some good players in Dallas.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
I love that they're trolling Dallas now.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Oh yeah, that great.

Speaker 10 (45:52):
I always tell you guys, Jerry Jones walked right by.
I remember, Yes, it was surreal watching him walk by,
because it's just like, you know, we see more famous
people than app It's just kind of like this hush
kind of comes over a room when like somebody unexpected
kind of walks through the It's literally the media like
cafeteria in the in the pressure area.

Speaker 5 (46:08):
Do you think there's ever anybody that's, you know, talking
to their buds one morning and they're like, Jim's OK,
walked by Jim.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
That's what I do in the hall here.

Speaker 9 (46:19):
That's Jim Bones Oakmen.

Speaker 6 (46:20):
Right, he is so old, so long.

Speaker 17 (46:26):
I've kind of grown to really enjoy watching these other
fan bases crash out after the Panthers beat them, like
the the Dolphins or or the Falcons. But that kind
of also makes me feel sad because it's like we're
we're that, We're that team.

Speaker 6 (46:39):
Now where were the Brown We lost to Charlie Brown?

Speaker 9 (46:42):
Good job?

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Well it was I mean, I ended up going to
the game yesterday, and and I'm telling you it's really
it's a phenomenon when when and I know that the
Steelers are kind of this way too, and and this
is this is not a knock on Panther fans, because
there were a lot of Panthers fans there, but they're
I mean, I think Dallas is probably the best travel
team in the NFL, right, I mean.

Speaker 6 (47:01):
Well, Pluster already embedded.

Speaker 10 (47:03):
Yeah, they travel, but they're also embedded in every tonts
around here too.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
But if you close your ees, it's hard to like
when Dallas would score yesterday, like the pop from the
crowd was was loud. I mean, I'm not saying that
was louder than the Panthers, but it was almost like
there were two.

Speaker 6 (47:17):
Home teams, and Miami was the same way.

Speaker 10 (47:18):
Honestly, Yeah, there were times when Miami jumped out to the
seventeen nothing laterally, am I in South Florida RDY. A
lot of Floridians up here, So yeah, a lot of
Florida people up here, Steve.

Speaker 6 (47:27):
If we're called damn Yankees, if we move from the north,
what are they called?

Speaker 2 (47:37):
So now?

Speaker 3 (47:38):
I mean, look the Jets and then the then Buffalo.
So Buffalo is is a handful we know, and they
play tonight on Monday Night Football.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
But you got the New.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
York Jets, so you could conceivably be if all things
go according to plan. And I know that's a dangerous
assumption in the NFL any given Sunday and all that stuff,
But I mean three and three could be four and
three and Buffalo comes to town and you're four and three.
That could be I mean that that the buzz before
that game could be the biggest in years home.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (48:05):
Yeah, but it will feel like Buffalo because literally a
third of Buffalo has moved to Charlotte's so it's just
by population base alone, and they're all bill Spans, Like,
no one from Buffalo is not a Bill Span, like
they're not just book readers.

Speaker 6 (48:18):
Really like football, Neil.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Sharp at the Boys, the Boys, Brad Winters.

Speaker 6 (48:23):
There's a lot. There's a lot of them here, and
we're naming individuals.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
We know if you all have your own well because
because back in the day they all not only did
they move to Charlotte, they moved to this building.

Speaker 6 (48:33):
Yeah, and refuse to leave.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
That's right, all right, traffic check right now, Boomer von Cannon.
Like the arbor reat, I mean, there's nothing but Buffalo
that whole area. Really, it is all Buffalo everywhere I
used to.

Speaker 5 (48:46):
Live down there. I don't remember a single Buffalo.

Speaker 9 (48:48):
Go now like a bunch of Buffalo.

Speaker 6 (48:52):
Buffalo's that's where they roam.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
We're talking about a Buffalo.

Speaker 10 (48:57):
Is that like a Chinatown situation? Like it's like it's
Buffalo town down there.

Speaker 5 (49:02):
So funny, maybe I just do it. It's again like
bether you paid at judge.

Speaker 22 (49:05):

I mean, look, you know there are lots of lots
of radio shows and lots of people hosting radio shows.
Every once in a while they get it wrong. But

interesting morning, to say the least. We knew that President
Trump was going to speak in Jerusalem. I did not

and we tried to stay with that as long as
we possibly could, and we did, and we'll be talking
about moments from that for the rest of the day.

our buddies Mac and t Bone, who hosts a morning
show on wfn Z. And for so long it's been
brace yourself because they're going down there after a big
you know, a losing streak or something. Do they even

Speaker 13 (52:51):
And oh?

Speaker 2 (52:51):
At home they.

it is, but it's always amazing.

Speaker 5 (53:00):

of like literally they're they're put it back, but but
they love him.

Speaker 5 (53:34):
It's just because he's the greatest little guy.

That's just like he just man sports Talk Radio, they

Speaker 22 (55:02):
And that's your engagement ring.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
Huh.

Speaker 18 (55:04):
Yes, yes, we got out a flea market outside of Rome.

Speaker 22 (55:07):
The guy we bought it.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
From said it was at least one hundred years old.

Speaker 13 (55:12):
Aw, it's her dad stuff and say something.

Speaker 9 (55:19):
I'm sorry, what did you say?

Speaker 7 (55:20):
God?

Speaker 5 (55:21):
I need a man and wrong and he's wonderful and
brilliant and we're getting married.

Speaker 14 (55:26):
Mom.

Speaker 22 (55:27):
What's he doing? George?

Speaker 3 (55:30):
That is from a Father of the Bride with Steve
Martin and of course Diane Keaton who passed away over
the weekend at the age of seventy nine. And wow,
you talk about somebody who has been there and done that.
As far as a female actress and actress.

Speaker 5 (55:48):
In Hollywood, I mean, think about the roles, the iconic
roles that she has played. Anie Hall, she was in
The Godfather, she is an Oscar winner, but of course
father of the Bride and father of the bride to
the first Why Club, the book Club series and my
favorite film that she was in with Jack Nicholson, Something's
Got to.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
Give, which she says was her favorite, her favorite movie
of her entire catalog. That's the one that she's most
proud of and the one that she gravitates towards, or
did and so, father, I mean, Something's got to Give
with Jack Nicholson.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
I mean you talk about sharing this queen, this.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Queen.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
When you share the queen with an act of that magnitude,
it's just well.

Speaker 5 (56:32):
It's also Francis McDormand and Amanda Pete is in that
film as well, and Keanu Reeves, all.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
Very serious actors. Anyway, this is one of the moments
from the movie.

Speaker 18 (56:43):
You know what you're like, like one of those great
portraits you see over a fireplace. Words have been invented
to describe women like you.

Speaker 22 (56:53):
Such as.

Speaker 9 (56:56):
Flinty and.

Speaker 22 (57:01):
So you think I'm a human?

Speaker 18 (57:02):
No, I think you're formidable.

Speaker 22 (57:06):
Yeah, cold, distant, like I'm frozen in some painting.

Speaker 18 (57:09):
Not at all. But I do think that you use
your strength to separate yourself from everyone. But it's thrilling
when your defenses are down and you're not isolated. That
I believe is you're winning combo killer combo.

Speaker 22 (57:25):
Actually, you know, I can't decide if do you hate
me or if you're like the only person who ever
really got me.

Speaker 18 (57:39):
I don't hate you.

Speaker 5 (57:42):
Oh I love that scene. She's making what you hear
in the background, that's the like sounded like water porn.
She's making pancakes and she's just like as she's talking,
she's scooping out pancake batter mix and she's just eyeballing
it and pouring the milk in. And they're they're they're
in their bathrobes. Got to have pan little pancake party.

Speaker 15 (57:59):
It is.

Speaker 5 (58:00):
It is a really lovely, really lovely movie that's kind
of all about the Bill Belichick kind of guy, which
is Jack Nicholson who only dates women under thirty, and
then he falls in love with he falls in love
with Diane Keaton's character, who is age appropriate. It's a
lovely movie. It's a Nancy Meyers movie, but.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
Seventy nine years old. And I was looking back and
you mentioned The Godfather, and you mentioned some of these
other movies that she had received accolades for.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
I mean, I know she's.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
Done a lot over her life, but when this happens,
sometimes you forget about certain ones.

Speaker 7 (58:35):
You know.

Speaker 5 (58:36):
One of the last things that I saw her post
on social media, and this is probably a year ago.
You remember the flower song that came out by Miley Cyrus,
and in that video she was kind of dancing through
the halls of a rental home and Diane Keaton said
that she was feeling she was feeling inspired by her
and she just danced out in her yard to the
song Flowers by Miley Cyrus, and she looked so joyful,

(58:58):
just out in her You know, it always was her.
She had her own sense of style, just her own.
She never really she never really conformed to Hollywood's standards,
and I always thought that was kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
So we're given Diane Caton her flowers today.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
Only they are they don't want to find She started God,
but then remembered a subflower passed away over the weekend
at the age of seventy nine.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
This is good Morning Getsy with both Thompson and math
trout Man.

Speaker 14 (59:36):
After two harrowing years and darkness and captivity, twenty courageous
hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families,
and it is glorious twenty eight more precious loved ones
are coming home at last to rest in this sacred
soil for all of time. After so many years of

(01:00:01):
unceasing war and adalyst danger. Today the sky's are calm,
the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the
sun rises on a holy land that is finally at peace,
a land and a region that will live God willing
in peace for all eternity.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
That was about two hours ago President Trump beginning his
remarks in Jerusalem this morning, obviously a very historic speech,
and all twenty living hostages have been released from Hamas captivity.
Bo Thompson and Beth Troutman on this Monday morning, October thirteenth,
and he's already here in studio. It's been a while
since we had him in the room at one Julian

(01:00:44):
Price Place, but that's because he's out and about and
traveling most weeks. Mick mulvaney, former White House Chief of
Staff and South Carolina Congressman, White White House Budget Director,
and of course you see him on News Nation, among
other places. Good to see you back in person today, Bobby.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
It is great to be here. Thanks, thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:01:02):
He was listening on the way and just calling you
right out Bobby rest of the show.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
He used to call me Biff Tanner or before before
you joined. I just know right after you've joined it
was because you were BT. He was BT, so I
needed to be a BBC. It was Biff Tannon.

Speaker 7 (01:01:16):
It was that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
Yeah, yeah, I mean and and a lot of times
we delve into that alternate, alternate reality world that most
of my time here is alternate because that was the
alternate nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Oh yeah, yeah, I just read something the other day.
He put a book out, Michael J. Fox, Yes about
the movie that he wasn't the first person cast for
that role Eric Stults. Wow, I had not heard of
since nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 5 (01:01:42):
So well, he was in the Mask famously with Sheer.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Was he Rocky?

Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
He was Rocky Dennis.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
I didn't know that. Yes, I just learned something. I'm
pretty sure the mask that to me is Jim Carrey.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
What am I?

Speaker 5 (01:01:53):
Oh no, it was called not the Mask, It was
just mask maybe with Sheer and his character was Rocky Dennis.

Speaker 13 (01:02:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Wow, okay, big eighties movie. They did not know, but
that was it before or after Back to the Future.
Because I've not heard of Eric Stone since that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
I want to say before, but if not before, right
around time. I mean it was in the heart of
the eighties. But yeah, Eric Stoltz was the first guy
that they did screen tests with. And if you like
one of of course, I've got all the DVD sets,
so they give you all the the the B sides
and the cutting room floor stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
And one of the things that was on one of.

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
The the DVD sets of Back to the Future the
trilogy was the footage of that they shot with the
other guy, and it's so weird.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
Yeah, they said that he played it serious. It was
going to be a drama. It was on a cot.

Speaker 13 (01:02:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
Yeah, anyway, how do we get off on that?

Speaker 16 (01:02:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
Is Trump still talking or is he finished? He just finished? Okay,
all right.

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
We carried about forty five minutes of the speech and
he spoke for a little over an hour, but he
uh yeah, I mean did you were you able to
hear much?

Speaker 13 (01:02:55):
I was.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
I was packing this morning and uh got a chance
to walking from rum room to the other You guys
were on in one room, News Nation was on in
the other room. So as I walked down the hallway
sort of it's interesting to see the delay because they're
not exactly the same. But yeah, Jed, I got I
got most of it. One of those I was I
was really interested to watch. I was just texting send
a quick note to Stephen Miller. There's a couple of

(01:03:18):
times we've talked about this before. There's a couple of
speeches every single year where he knows it's really really
important and he'll stick to the script, and that's the
State of the Union and then the United Nations General
Assembly Address. Yeah, and he just did that, what a
month ago. This was a really really really good speech.
If you listen to the parts where you can tell
he's reading, it's extraordinarily well done. And then he went

(01:03:41):
off and sort of freewheeled a lot more than I
expected under the circumstances. It was sort of half speech
and half rally. It wasn't a full blown rally, but
it was. There was a lot of rally there today
and that sort of surprised me given the circumstances.

Speaker 5 (01:03:54):
Well, I think he's feeling incredibly proud right now of
his of his team, but feeling proud that he was
capable of helping facilitate this and.

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
Absolutely should be again, just is the form chief of
staff that surprised me. He was a little bit more
informal than I thought he would be, because this is
a speech that the whole world is watching that will
go down in history. I mean, this is a significant thing.
So and again the stuff that that was written out
was absolutely fabulous.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
Well, he's had a string of speeches here. Now I
think this is arguably, or I don't think it's not argued.
This is the most momentous one of his presidency, wouldn't
you say? I think that's very Yeah, so this was
a huge speech of that we'll be talking about for years.
But if you look at his last several speeches, you
had the United Nations address, you had the Charlie Kirk funeral.
You also had the speech that he made following Pete

(01:04:44):
Hegsath at Quantico. So you had four very high profile
speeches and very different speeches. But there were moments in
all four of those where he did what you're talking about.
He went into kind of riff mode. And I think
it could be you could make the argument that you
were that he did that in any of those speeches.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
Well, no, I mean he's always going to do it.
That's his style, right, it just is. And if I
had to do the sort of the hierarchy. I would
expect a lot of that at the Charlie Kirk funeral
because it was it was it was what I heard
somebody describe it as a Maga state funeral, right, it was.
It was half it was meant to be half Maga
rally in the first place. So that's that's fine. It

(01:05:22):
was just this This is one of those truly historic moments,
even more so than maybe a UN General Assembly. So anyway,
but again I thought it was fine. I thought it
was great, and I thought some of the stuff that
they covered in clearly what's really important is the subject matter,
which is just fabulous. I even if the piece falls
apart tomorrow, then you have to you have to give

(01:05:45):
credit where credit is due. The man got the hostages back,
which you know no one else been able to do
for two years. That's that's extraordinary.

Speaker 5 (01:05:51):
I think one of the you're right about the parts
that were scripted, he used great language that I think
will be quoted for quite some time where he said
this is the end of an era, of an end
of an age of terror and also and historic dawn
of a new Middle East. And those are the lines
that I think will be headlines, you know, in tomorrow

(01:06:11):
morning's newspapers.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
And he did get a chance, and I'm glad that
he did talk about what I still think is the
most significant sort of development in the last two years
in the Middle East, or the most significant development in
a long time. But it happened since October seventh of
twenty twenty three, which is the bombing of Iran to
get rid of their nuclear capabilities. That changes sort of

(01:06:34):
the arc of history in the Middle East's that is,
that's a big deal that I don't think we got
a lot of attention, don't get me wrong, but I
think forty years from now, if this piece does hold,
people will look back and go, yeah, that the hostage
deal was fantastic. It was the negotiation skills were great,
and we talked about Wickoff and Kushner if you want to.
But really what changed the dynamic and the balance of

(01:06:55):
power in the Middle East to allow piece to, you know,
if it does stay for forty years, was Mommie around
and taking away their nuclear threat. That that that is,
that's the big historical thing I think that's been accomplished
here In the last couple of months.

Speaker 3 (01:07:07):
You have been listening to a special bonus segment of
Mick mulvaney because he is here for the final hour.
Unless you're gonna surprise me and leave, you know, at
the end of the third segment. I hope that's not
the case.

Speaker 6 (01:07:16):
What have I ever done?

Speaker 7 (01:07:18):
Do? I?

Speaker 12 (01:07:18):
Wait?

Speaker 13 (01:07:19):

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
You're such a big deal.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
I would understand donuts this morning and he's slandering me
like this.

Speaker 15 (01:07:26):
Goodness, gracious playing coach from Me's Talk eleven ten and
ninety nine three.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):

Speaker 25 (01:07:37):
Then?

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
This is good morning Beat with Bo Thompson and Ben Trout.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
Bitch da yeah to twenty two, twenty one, whatever it takes.

Speaker 6 (01:07:45):
As the countdown rolls on, doing my best to get
back to you.

Speaker 5 (01:07:52):
Look for me Sunday.

Speaker 7 (01:07:53):
Going to be there, Honey, is something special choice you?

Speaker 13 (01:07:57):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
Monday, October thirteenth, momentous day and world Happening's President Trump,
fresh off a speech he gave within the last couple
of hours following the release of all twenty living hostages
from Hamas captivity, President Trump said the sun rises on
a holy land that is finally at peace, and former

(01:08:23):
White House Chief of Staff Mick mulvaney is back in
studio with us today and got the ball rolling late
last hour.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
But now the.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
Official opening to the show. When you're here, because you're
going to be here for the remainder of this hour.
You saw President Trump's speech. Listen to this as you
were getting set to join us today. This is, as
we said heading into the top, this is probably the
most momentous speech he will ever give. I mean, other
things could happen, of course, but you're going to be
hard pressed to find a bigger global happening than this.

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
I think that's fair, And I thought the speech was really, really,
really well done. Again, I'm assuming that Steven Miller wrote
all or part of it. You know, Steve doesn't do
all of the Stephen doesn't do all of writing anymore.
But that's how he got into Trump's world as a speechwriter.
And it's still, to my mind, one of the most
talented people at speaking in Trump's voice. But how is

(01:09:14):
it that's not a great day. I mean, I know
there's a lot of folks and you're right to ask
questions about what comes next, and how do you secure
the piece and will it hold? And those are all
fair questions to ask, but maybe you just take this
one day to celebrate the fact that the hostage is
a home and for a day at least, there's there's peace.
Might not last till tomorrow, but enjoy it well it
is here.

Speaker 5 (01:09:32):
There were some great ad lib moments in this speech
as well. The part that got me chuckling a little
bit was when he started talking about how long the
other people spoke. You know, he was talking about how
Benjamin NETANYAHUO spoke a little too long and his his
counterpart spoke a little too long. And he's like, you've
kept me here too long. I need to get to Egypt.

Speaker 2 (01:09:51):
I really got to go, but let me say this one.
I gotta go, but let me say one more thing.

Speaker 5 (01:09:55):
So he he got me chuckling in his in his
moments of riffing. But he also talked a lot about
the Abraham Accords. He recognized Jared Kushner twice in that
in that one speech, but also talked about how those members,
those initial members of the Abraham Accords, the four countries.
I think it's Bahrain, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Maybe Jordan, I can't remember.

Speaker 5 (01:10:18):
I could look that up really quickly, and talked about
the fact that it sounds like Sudan. Sudan is the
other one that they might be some of the countries
involved initially in helping rebuild Gaza.

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
Listen, I think there's gonna be some wonderful stories about
One of the things that that struck me that Trump
said this morning was he said, you know that Marco
Rubio maybe looked at as one of the one of
the greatest secretary of state of all time. Of course,
that's that's Trump. That's how Trump speaks anyway, right, But
in this particular circumstance, I'm trying to think, Okay, I mean,
who are the great secretaries of state? And you know,

(01:10:50):
Kissinger clearly comes to mind, And I'm wondering, Okay, did
what Kissinger accomplished in the relationship with China? How does
that measure up to what just happened here. So I
think it's a fair comparison that Jared Kushner, you know,
people I know reading social media and reading some press
and so forth. Over the weekend, people were critical of
him sort of air dropping in at the last minute
to take credit. I don't see it like that at all.

(01:11:13):
Jared had some very long standing relationships here because of
all the work he did in the Abraham Accords, So
it doesn't surprise me. In fact, the things surprised me
was he wasn't involved before this, So it doesn't surprise me.
He's there at the end to try it and get
things wrapped up. And it moved relatively quickly in the
last several days. I mean, the twenty point plan has
only been out what a week, maybe two, I lose
track at the time, but so it progressed very very

(01:11:35):
quickly from that first press conference with Netyahu and the
White House to you know, Trump being there today.

Speaker 3 (01:11:40):
Well, and as it relates to Jared Kushner, perhaps he
has been doing more than we know, just because he's
been doing it out of the spotlight. Yeah, but my
question to you is, now, we saw Ivanka, we saw Jared,
their front and center, as you would expect given the
part they played in this. But they have been you know,
if you think back to the first Trump administration, Ivanka

(01:12:02):
and Jared were almost always present, and then they sort of,
unlike members of other members of the family, they they
Ivanka has been almost you never see her anymore, and
all of a sudden, I wonder if this is going
to be sort of a re emergence of the two
of them as we get into the latter part of
his second term.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Yeah, I was one and the same thing. I can't
help but think that it won't be. I've been wondering
where they have been for the first nine months and
so forth, where they'd be involved. I just can't see
Jared because Jared have to give up which you have
to give up your day job to go work in
the White House, right most folks do you. There's certain
exceptions to that, and so maybe he becomes a special
government employee and so forth. But I don't think they're

(01:12:40):
going back to what they were in the first term,
which was Jared's office was next to mine. I mean
it was he was actually closer to the to the
Oval office, and I was in Ivanka had the office
right above the Oval, So I mean they were physically
in the West Wing. I don't think you'd see them
going back to that.

Speaker 13 (01:12:53):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
And I always thought that she was a very good
spokesperson for his administration. I thought she anytime she spoke
on behalf of the administration. She was one of the
better people that would would would carry the message on
and she has decided in recent years to sort of
pull away from that spotlights, almost like she was sort
of tired of politics. But now I see maybe there's

(01:13:16):
a route for her to become a more front and
center again, just just an observation watching is.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
Probably more foreign policy. They're not, I mean, they're not
the most conservative people in the whole world. We had
discussions about, you know, the pro life movement, with discussions
about gun control and so forth. Ivanka, as talented and
as bright as she is, is not really aligned with
the magabase on a lot of policy, which is fine,
I mean, you know, it just that's you know, everybody's different.

(01:13:41):
But so I don't see them sort of becoming senior
policy advisors again, because this administration is clearly sort of
not nearly as afraid to break the glass as we
were in the first time round.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Well, and I think I think back being at the
twenty sixteen rn C, they're in Cleveland, and she was
the person he chose to introduce him on the final night.
Now I know that was a different administration at a
different time. But you know, he obviously back then and
I'm sure still does to a degree that she would
want to be involved.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
Are you saying she was hul Cogan before hul Cogan
was Hulkovian? Is that what you're saying, because didn't Hulkan
introduce him in walking? I can't remember. He's close.

Speaker 5 (01:14:17):
I feel like it might have been.

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
It was close.

Speaker 3 (01:14:19):
I want to say he was. I don't think Hulk
was the last one. I think he was he was
among the last four, because I remember thinking, is it
really going to be hulk Cogan?

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Who's the last one? And I think I have to go.
I'll look it up during the break. At any rate.
I want to say it was Eric, but we'll see.
Maybe it was Kai. Wasn't his granddaughter? She was up there,
She was up there some point. All of these are
correct answers, just.

Speaker 5 (01:14:40):
Not all there. They were all there.

Speaker 6 (01:14:42):
I was there.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
This is good morning, beat.

Speaker 14 (01:14:47):
Well see, now you can be a little bit nicer, Bby,
because you're not at war anymore.

Speaker 13 (01:14:51):
BB.

Speaker 14 (01:15:00):
But only by embracing the opportunities of this moment could
we achieve our goal of ensuring that the horrors of
recent years will never happen again.

Speaker 13 (01:15:08):
You don't want to have to go through this again.

Speaker 14 (01:15:11):
Eight years ago, I came to this region on a
very special first trip abroad as the President of the
United States.

Speaker 13 (01:15:18):
I came here very early at your request.

Speaker 14 (01:15:21):
I addressed the leaders of the Arab and Muslim world
gathered in Saudi Arabia and said that it was time
to build a future free if the grip of extremism
and terra And I'm interestingly right now, as soon as
I'm finished.

Speaker 13 (01:15:36):
I'm quite late. You've kept me quite late.

Speaker 14 (01:15:38):
Between opposition leaders and Babi's brilliant but very long speech.
I thought I was going to run up here, make
a speech and then head to Egypt.

Speaker 13 (01:15:50):
It didn't work out there, and you made a pretty
long one too, Sarah.

Speaker 3 (01:15:56):
That's President Trump earlier this morning addressing the the parliament there,
and he is now. He's not there yet, but he's
that much closer to the peace summit in Egypt that
he's going to attend as part of his itinerary following
this historic speech. Today, Mick mulvaney is with US former
White House Chief of Staff and of course White House
Budget Director. You see him on News Nation. Bowen Beth

(01:16:19):
here on a Monday morning, and that was quite a speech.
And I think, of course the question now is he
talked about when he made this initial announcement last week
about the phases of this ye Now what happens after
today is in the rearview.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
You just look at the twenty point plan and try
and figure out what are the real sort of difficult
ones to deal with, to address, to fix. And I
got to think the first one is Hamas disarming. That's
part of the deal. And then Hamas leaving and turning
over you know, governance of Gaza to an independent third party.

(01:16:55):
That is going to be interesting to see if it happens.
I'll be curious to watch. I don't know what's happening
today if they if they're just there to talk. I
can't imagine they're to sign anything because there's nothing left
to sign. But I will be curious to see if
there's anybody there speaking on or on behalf of Hamas,
because it could be hereious to see what their body
language is, what you know, what they are they saying

(01:17:16):
the right things. We've seen some videos of the of
Goza that, if they're accurate, would suggest that the Hamas
still has their weapons and so that that's going to
be the next thing. In order for there to be
a lasting piece, or at least anything that lasts longer
than you know, the next couple of days, Hamas is
going to have to agree to disarm. We're here's to
see if that happens.

Speaker 5 (01:17:36):
There was one moment of disruption during President Trump's speech
where two of the m k's that were there in
in the building. Their names there were heads of the
Hadash party. His name was I'man O'Day and o fair
Kasif apparently started protesting briefly during Trump's speech, and according
to the Jerusalem Post, one of the men yelled terrorist

(01:18:00):
at Trump and another said recognize Palestine, and they were
quickly quickly escorted out of the room. President Trump even said,
well that was swift, and praised how quickly they got
them out of the room. But it raises the question
what happens to Palestine? Will it be recognized as a state?
And that's you know what that protester was, I think

(01:18:21):
asking or protesting against.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
A couple of things there. People forget. People forget there's
internal politics in Israel. It's a democracy. There's going to
be internal politics. There are people on the far right
and people on the far left don't like the deal.
Some folks don't think it goes far enough. Other folks
think it's you know, you can't trust a mass to
deal with them. So nettyaw I was going to have
to deal with that. You also have this looming issue
of the corruption charges against net and Yahoo. There were

(01:18:43):
critics who said he only prolonged the war because it
allowed him to stay in office and so forth. We'll
see how that how that plays out. But as to
the two states solution, will Palestine be recognized as part
of this? I think it's much too early to say.
I can't remember. I don't think recognition of Palestine as
a state was part of the twenty point deal or not.

(01:19:04):
I don't think that it was. If I'm wrong about that,
I apologize. But it comes back to a point. You know,
as you folks know, I do a lot of media overseas,
and I you know, Britain recently indicated its willingness or
its intention to recognize Palestine as a state, France to
the same, Australia to the same. And then one of
the questions I kept asking of my British, French and
Australian Frans's okay, So has Palestine agreed to recognize Israel?

(01:19:28):
You're going to recognize Palestine as a state as a
condition of that. Did you ask them to recognize Israel?
Or is it okay for them to still have this
idea that Israel shouldn't be allowed to exist and they're
going to try and destroy it utterly, right? So I
got to think that if we as we move to
have those conversations, maybe end up in a situation where yeah,
Palestine is recognized, but Palestine recognizes Israel, and that's a

(01:19:50):
key step to lasting piece as well, because part of
this is just driven by the fact that there's elements
within the extreme equasion versions of Islam overseas that just
think at Israel shouldn't exist and it's okay to kill
everybody that has to stop.

Speaker 5 (01:20:03):
Do you think that they will rebuild in that area
the way that President Trump had had initially planned, that
it becomes much more of a resort type space than
I mean, obviously right now it's completely decimated from the
footage that we see from that area.

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
A couple things, and do I think, you know, I
don't think the resort thing was that well thought through.
It certainly does have. I think I know where it's
coming from. If you go back historically forty years ago,
Lebanon was perceived as sort of the Rivi era of
the of the Eastern met It just was it's a
beautiful part of the world, you know, great natural beauty,

(01:20:43):
great weather, et cetera. And because of the stability they
had politically forty fifty years ago, it was where everybody
wanted to do business. It was a banking center. It
was a paradise in the Middle East, and had Jews
and Christians and Muslims live together in relative peace and harmon.
It was it was an example for how you can

(01:21:03):
do it right. I don't know if that's a model
they're using for Gaz. I don't think it's going to
be golf courses in resorts, but there could be a
bunch of economic development. As to whether or not it's built,
there's a that's a practical question, that's logist. I don't
know if you can build on top of that much
rub rubble. I don't know if you can dig it
all out. I don't know what the unexploded bomb ordinance
is that's lying around. So there's a lot of the

(01:21:23):
questions to ask, but you know, listen, the first threshold
is to have the will to do something positive. And
it sounds like sounds like that that will is building.

Speaker 1 (01:21:33):
This is good morning, Beati.

Speaker 3 (01:21:42):
Continuing with Mick mulvaney on a Monday, McK mulvaney, former
White House Chief of Staff, in studio with us. We
don't get this as often as we used to, but
you are just all over the place in demand and
all all kinds of networks, and so when we can
get you in the room like this, we love to
do it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
And glad you are here. And your lovely life wife
Pam as well is over here as well. Good to
see you, morn. I apologize in advance for the two
of them, you know, chattering during the ad breaks. Oh yeah.
If I have anything to say to Beth, I do
it before, because I don't I do listen bossing. By
the way, the sign outside the studio, because the the
on air light, which is a central feature of a
of a television radio studio, has got a sign on

(01:22:19):
it saying it's out of order, and then it says
thank you for your attention to this matter, which I
just I.

Speaker 9 (01:22:24):
Love that's courtesy of Pete Calendar.

Speaker 2 (01:22:26):
Yeah, it's been out of order since you were last
here because it really change the light bulb. But the
door lock works for the first time in five years?

Speaker 6 (01:22:35):
Have you doing this?

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
How long am I doing this? Four years? Yeah? It
lesally four years, I mean on a regular basis.

Speaker 13 (01:22:41):
Yeah, so what do we do?

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
Shut down?

Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
I want to ask you about the shutdown because back
here on American soil, that's still a big story. And
would you say it's gone on longer now that you
thought it would or is this about what you thought
would happen.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
No, I thought it would end today or tomorrow. So
that's right, because you said you said the day fourteen.
Now the couple of wrinkles to that. I just found
out last week an interesting detail that the air traffic
controllers got paid last week. They're out of cycle with
a lot of Most folks get paid the last in
the fifteenth, okay, or the first and the fifteenth, whatever

(01:23:15):
it did twice a month or every two weeks. The
air traffic controllers are a different cycle, which means they
got paid last week and that paycheck was only half
full okay, So they got paid for their last week.
Of work in September, but did not get paid for
their first week of work in October. And that is
a pressure point I hadn't thought about yet because it
was actually a sick out by a lot of air

(01:23:37):
traffic controllers back in twenty nineteen. That put a lot
of pressure on us to end the government shutdown that
we had. We were trying to have over borer security
in the wall and so forth. So that adds a
little bit of pressure on the other side of the
ledgers you're looking at sort of, you know, the yang
and yang of what goes on here is there's an
announcement by the administration over the weekend that they think
they figured out a way to pay the troops on

(01:23:58):
the fifteenth, and that would be a big deal. Back
in twenty nineteen, or had that thirty five day shutdown,
the troops were being paid because Congress had already passed
and we'd already signed the defense appropriations bills. Okay, so
there was spending for military was approved back in twenty eighteen,
twenty nineteen, So it wasn't a complete government shutdown, okay.
Our laps and appropriations is a better term. So now

(01:24:20):
you don't have that so unless they forgot a way
to pay these troops, there's no troops paid on fifteenth.
But OMB announced over the weekend they'd found some money
that they can use legally to pay the troops on
the fifteenth, And so that will be fascinting to see
number one, if they can pull it off, and then
number two if it changes sort of the balance of
power short version. And I know I've already too late
for that. Now both sides think they are winning. So

(01:24:42):
I don't think there's a lot of pressure on either
side to end this well.

Speaker 5 (01:24:47):
And as all this was all of the discussions about
paying the troops and certainly the air traffic controllers. There
was a story over the weekend about the administration firing
some members of the CDC, and now they're bringing a
lot of those members back and and yesterday on the
Sunday Shows, Vice President Vance said that that was due
to just a glitch, a system wide glitch that created

(01:25:08):
some error.

Speaker 2 (01:25:10):
There's two million, there's roughly at any one time, there's
roughly two million non military federal workers. There's another two
or two point three I think at the military, but
that's a different So that's anyway that the civilian workforce
is about two million folks, and it's an extraordinarily complicated system.
As you can match the largest employer in the country.
It wouldn't surprise me you would think that they tried

(01:25:30):
to make sure that doesn't happen, But catching the mistake
is probably just as important and doing it. You know,
the riffs reduction in force, which is essentially a permanent firing,
have gotten a lot of attention, but I was actually
looking at the numbers this week and it's like four
thousand people, So it's two tenths of one percent of
the federal of the federal workforce. My guess is in

(01:25:52):
any particular day in the federal government that many people
quit because it's just such a relatively small number of folks. Well,
don't get me wrong, if you've lost your job, it's
a big deal to you, but not a big deal
to the overall economy and not a big deal to
the overall political spectrum. And that's sort of the way
you look at this, right. There are not two sides.

Speaker 3 (01:26:11):
But either you're affected by it immediately and of course
it's going on in your world, or it doesn't affect
you and it's sort of off the radar, and especially
with what's happening with President Trump in the Middle East,
that story absolutely is trumping, no pun intended, this government
shutdown story. I'm going to be curious to see how
much play this shutdown gets as this other story is

(01:26:33):
sort of playing out, which has you know, global scope yep.

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
And of course, then last Thursday we had the announcement
that Letitia James is going to be charged for the
crime or it was charged with the crime. And yet
how does that play into the dynamic. There's so much
news happening at one time, I got to think maybe
the gunment shutdown is not the biggest story of the day.

Speaker 5 (01:26:51):
Well, and on the friend you know, of the government shutdown,
you have Marjorie Taylor Green making headlines siding with that's
what she does best with Democrats on healthcare, on saying like, look,
we're gonna have to deal with this healthcare issue because
premiums are about to skyrocket.

Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
I saw her interview, one of the interviews where she said,
you know, they said, what do you think we should
do about it? She said, I don't know. I just
know what's wrong. I'm like, oh my goodness, great, that's great.
This is the someone we've elected actually fixed problems. Who
has no clue what to do, none whatsoever. She just
knows it's a problem. That's that's populism, that's that's Anybody
on a street corner can tell you what the problems
they're having. It's the it's the people were good at
the job. People have ideas and how to fix it.

(01:27:28):
I don't know if her idea is just to redo
the original Obamacare subsidies or extend them. That would be
a change of pace for Republican But again, who knows.
But no, it's it's she's good at getting headlines. I'm
not sure she's good at actually fixing problems.

Speaker 1 (01:27:41):
This is Good Morning Beat with Bo Thompson and Math Troudman.

Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
That's right.

wife will go on their separate ways on the Diyboid studio.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):

Hi, Pam.

Speaker 3 (01:28:50):
A couple of stories to get mixed take on as
we go out the door here. This one happened Friday
going into the weekend, and it's sort of gotten lost
because obviously it's a huge story everything else in the
Middle East, but it is it raises some questions. Maybe
you can shed some light on here. Pete Hexath, the
Secretary of War, was making comments on Friday afternoon and
right at the end said this.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
And I'm also proud that today we're announcing or signing
a letter of acceptance to build a Katari EMII Air
Force facility at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho.

Speaker 13 (01:29:22):
Location will be host a.

Speaker 17 (01:29:25):
Contingent of Katari F fifteen's and pilots to enhance our
combined training, increase lethality, interoperability is just another example of
our partnership.

Speaker 3 (01:29:35):
So a Katari facility being built on US soil and Idaho.
Let's go to Maria Bartiromo's show on Fox on Sunday morning.
Her guest was the Vice President.

Speaker 5 (01:29:47):
What is the function of this Cutter facility?

Speaker 22 (01:29:50):
People are wondering, is this an airbase?

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
What is Cutter going to be developing in Idaho?

Speaker 9 (01:29:56):
Yeah, I saw some reporting about this, Maria.

Speaker 27 (01:29:58):
I actually talked to the Secretary of warpeat Hea accept
this morning. This is largely a fake story. We continue
to have with countries that we work with. We have
relationships where sometimes their pilots work on our basis, sometimes
that we train together, sometimes we work together in other ways.
The reporting that somehow there is going to be a
Katari base on United States soil, that's just not true.

(01:30:21):
We are continuing to work with a number of our
Arabs or our Arab friends to ensure that we are
able to enforce this piece. But we're not going to
let a foreign country have an actual base on American soil.
So there's a bit of misreporting on that, as there
often is, as you.

Speaker 12 (01:30:35):
Know, Maria.

Speaker 2 (01:30:36):
Well, again the report came from the guy. Yeah, I'm
sure if it's misreporting as between those two. By the way,
and again I have no inside information, so I think
JD is probably right. We train foreign armies on American
soil all of the time, most specifically on airplanes.

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
We just do it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
We st in South Carolina's the reasons I know about it.
We train on F thirty five's I think down someplace
near just south of Charleton. Anyway, it would be typical,
and it may be that we are building an American
facility to help train Kataris at this place in Idaho.
I would be stunned if we're actually building a Katari
owned base on American soil. We're allowing them to do so.

(01:31:13):
My guess is that the Secretary of Defense just simply
was not articulate in the way he explained that that
JD we had a little bit more time to get
ready for that has the more accurate answer.

Speaker 5 (01:31:23):
I think it probably raised eyebrows too, just because of
the story, well, and the story from a few months
ago with the Katari airplane, you know, being being given
to President.

Speaker 2 (01:31:31):
Apparent we've signed an executive order with them giving them
certain protection rights in case they're invaded and so forth. Yeah,
so it raises all sorts of questions. But again I
think it was probably just not accurately stayed. And the
Vice President's probably right here, which again would be no
news because we train them all the time.

Speaker 13 (01:31:48):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:31:49):
One final story involving James Comy, which which now seems
like ten years ago.

Speaker 5 (01:31:55):
How is that only like last week?

Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
Yeah, and this idea of the purp walk. Yeah, they
fired somebody of the FBI because he refused to do
the purp walk for coming. Be perfectly clear, I don't
like purp walks. I think they're awful. I think they're
a terrible precedent. I didn't even like it when they
did it to Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon came because
I don't like those guys very much, right, But it
was wrong for the Biden administration to do that. I

(01:32:19):
don't like it as a policy. That being said, if
I'm working at the FBI and the boss calls me
and says, look, I want you to do this, and
it's not against the law and it's not immoral, they said, Oh,
it's against the policy. I'm like, who do you think
makes the policy? Do you make the policy or do
the bosses make the policy? And if the boss is
call you and say, look, we're going to violate our
own policy here, we're going to go do this and
you say no, you should get fired. I mean, the

(01:32:40):
boss walks in today and says, we want you guys
to read this ad and you say, look, it's not
for anything really immral or illegal. I just don't want
to do it. Fine, you're gone. So I'm not really
sure why this is a big thing. But of course
everything gets sort of hyper analyzed in Trump world, and
there are folks out there who want to make him
out to be a dictator and use this as an example.
I don't like revel against political adversaries. I don't like

(01:33:02):
purp walks. But again, if the boss tells you to
do something and you don't do it, you should get fired.

Speaker 5 (01:33:07):
What do you think the outcome ends up being?

Speaker 14 (01:33:09):
Here?

Speaker 5 (01:33:09):
With the Komy case now and the Letitia James case,
we have two that will be ongoing.

Speaker 2 (01:33:14):
Again, I'm a conservative with a small sea. I hope
it gets a chance to work through the system. By
the way, I do think Komy's probably got a really
good claim for vindictive prosecution, which is almost never if
the lawyer's listening. No, you can never get rid of
a criminal charge based upon I can't remember what the
motion is under twelve B, but anyway, there's precedent that
says if you can prove that it was vindictive or selective,

(01:33:36):
that that's a defense. It almost never happens. I think
Komy actually has a viable claim for that. So it'll
be fascinating to watch this go through the process as
it goes through trial courts and up to the Peeles
courts like I expect it will. We've covered a lot.
We appreciate you being in here. I talk to you
guys soon. Yeah, we'll talk to you. Who knows where
I'll be right?

Speaker 22 (01:33:53):
When?

Speaker 5 (01:33:53):
Will we see you again?

Speaker 2 (01:33:54):
I have no idea, so I don't even know what
time zone I'll be in, but we'll figure it out.
We always do.

Speaker 9 (01:33:59):
Do you know it?

Speaker 1 (01:34:00):
Time zone?

Speaker 6 (01:34:00):
Your end?

Speaker 13 (01:34:00):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:34:02):
Time time to go, Time to go to the airport, zuwning.

Speaker 3 (01:34:04):
That's right, all right, Well, thanks both of you for
being here and save travels, and we'll talk to you
next time.
