My mask to get back to you.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Look for me Sunday, going to be there, honey, is
something special chests for you?
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Now look at the guy. He's already been on CNBC
today making the rounds vack here at one Julian Price Place,
the former White House Chief of Staff, South Carolina congressman,
White House Budget Director, and you see him on News
Nation too, Mick mulvaney. Hello, how's it going good?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Did I hear you do it? Sean Connor impersonation in
the last segment?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I don't know, not on purpose.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I think that's that's even better.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
What did I say something about x shash oh oh
with the milkshakesh shsh sounded like that I paid for
the x shash.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
There you go, There you go.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I think that's exactly the voice you used.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, branching out, I like to say, there you go,
there you go. Well glad we get rid of the
cenator this week. Good disgracious, wasn't that tedious?
Speaker 6 (01:28):
Less?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Good guy?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Oh my goodness?
Speaker 6 (01:30):
I know. Uh, however, talk talk talk now, you.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Know, they get paid by the word in the Senate,
in the House of Lords.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
I enjoyed that though Tom was a really good guy.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
That was a really it was fun, fun hour and
a half for for us. But we got tons of
feedback from from listeners too, that that people enjoyed that
kind of conversation that the two of you had with
each other.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Yeah, Tom and I don't agree on everything. That's listen.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
That's part of what makes what used to make Washington,
you know, fun, is that you could agree with people
some of the time, disagree some people the time they
have a beer.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
I bet you can't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You said Washington, right, I did say Washington. This what
I mean? This was posted on truth Social at eight
eleven this morning. So about an hour ago you said Washington.
President Trump says Washington, d C will be liberated today.
Crime savagery, filth, and scum will disappear. I will make
our capital great again. The days of ruthlessly killing or
(02:24):
hurting innocent people are over. I quickly fixed the border,
zero illegals in the last three month months. DC is next.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. So coming
up at ten am. This is what he teased over
the weekend. He is holding a news conference at the
capitol and a lot going on here. I'm curious as
to what you think is going to happen in less
(02:46):
than an hour now.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, you know, I don't get nearly as bent out
of shape over this as some other folks.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
You know, I don't like what Trump is doing.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Fact I talked about on CNBC this morning about the
government buying pieces of private businesses and so forth, about
trying to start a sovereign well fund all of the
government ownership of the means of production, which I really
don't like this.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
I got no problem with this.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I mean, people, oh my goodness, he's going to federalize
the District of Columbia. I have news for everybody. It's
federal already. It is. It's not a state, it is
a federal district. And Trump is not really doing anything that.
In fact, there's a school of thought within the conservative
movement that Home Rule was illegal to begin with because
it denied the president his role over the control of
(03:27):
the district. The federal government was given control over the
District of Columbia in the Constitution, and that includes a
role for the president which was completely removed through the
Home Rule Act. So anyway, again that's a sort of
more of an intellectual conversation, but I don't get bet
over shape out of it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, and just to remind people, the Home Rule Act
was something that was during the Nixon administration. It was
nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
And signed by and signed into law and all that.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's but the point is, look in the greater scheme
of things, taking over the District of Columbia by the
federal government is not the same as taking over the
state of South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
What is his end game here, though? What is is
this to try to get attention off of other stories
or what is the what's the end goal with this?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
That criticism will exist for Donald Trump for everything for
the next three and a half years because and that
is how he works, right, So let's let's move on
to the next big thing. But I don't like the
story on X. I'll try and make a story on why.
And he's great at that.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
He manages it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
He manages the media for him. But that being said,
I mean every single time he does something, there's people
oh my goodness, he's doing this to cover up though
he's not. This has very little do with Epstein.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
I can assure you this.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
They just have to do with something that he wants
to do. But what's the end goal. The end goal
is to try and make Washington safe again.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Washington's a disaster.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
It is, you know, I spend too much time there.
It is never recovered from COVID. The Biden administration let
all these federal workers stay home forever, which was I mean,
a sin of such great gravity when it came to
the health of that city. You know, restaurants have not
opened again. The place is just not safe. I mean,
he's not a friend of mine, so I can't say
(05:03):
a friend of mine this happenue. But woman who used
to work for me was married to this guy shot
to death in the head on New York Avenue. YEA,
Now we all know in big cities there's places that
you're not supposed to go.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
We get that.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
There's places in every art there's places in this city
right now you shouldn't go to.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
It's not safe.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Right New York Avenue is not one of Thosese at
Thirteenth Street in Washington, d C. I mean, I think
was in front of the Bloomberg offices or something like that.
That kind of stuff takes place too often, and Trump
simply doesn't want it. He wants to have a city
that is safe for American citizens to come visit, and
he's going to have that.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
So he said in his truth social post over the weekend,
teasing the press conference that's supposed to happen at ten
o'clock today at the Capital, he said that he was
going to move the homeless out of the city and
put criminals in jail. We're we're if he's moving the homeless,
where does he move them to and how and where
do they go? And what's this process?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, No, it's a question that a lot of faks are asking.
I know they're asked the same question in California. Either
they go where they stay? Right, those are the two choices,
and they're both bad choices. The reason that they are
there and they are homeless in the first place, is
that they can't afford to live in that town.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
And there's folks who have mental illness.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I get all of that, but if you look large
writ large at the correlation between our inability to provide
affordable housing for people and homelessness, there's a direct line
between those two things.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, so let me read just the excerpt, because Beth
alluded to this, and the initial post about it was
at eleven am yesterday he said, the homeless have to
move out immediately. We will give you places to stay,
but far from the capital. The criminals, you don't have
to move out. We're going to put you in jail
where you belong. It's all going to happen very fast,
just like the border. So my initial question for you
(06:45):
was was more along the lines of okay, at ten am,
how do you think this is going to play out?
Is what are they going to you know's aesthetically what's
going to be the plan today.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I don't think you're going to see, you know, armored
personnel carriers moving into the city. If that's what you're
talking about. You might see a little bit more of
a of a police presence. You might see a National
Guard presence at some point, but I don't think they're
going to be airlifting in the hundred and first.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
If that's your.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Question, well, I just I know Trump is big on optics. Yeah,
and you're making a big deal about this.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So I'm just curious that you're really going to see
is a lawsuit from the from somebody. I mean it's
probably going to be the local city council, the mayor,
Bowser or something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Or maybe some sort of signing of something he likes,
because he does a lot of those signing ceremonies. Maybe
some sort of edict about what he says is going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I was talking it has nothing to do with anything,
and just how the White House works. I was talking
to a friend of mine this weekend who was in
the Oval office last week. I was doing his radio
program on Saturday, and like, hy, I saw you on TV.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
He was, Yeah, I walked in the present said come in,
I want to meet you, and I don't want to
meet with you on something, so I just walked in.
It was just him and me and we're having a conversation.
Always says, you know, what this is great, this is great,
Let's have a presser right now. And he just calls
it all the folks to have a press conference. So
there could be some of that today where it's not going.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
To be what you're saying, is a press conference broke out?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's exactly right, And the guy says to because and
then all of a sudden, all this reporter shop, where
do you hide those people? Are they in a closet someplace?
And like, yes, they're in the press pool, just waiting
for Trump to say come in the office. Anyway, that's
not not what you were talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
No, but it's uh, it actually sort of fits with
what I imagined, because you know, he's got to have
he's got to have those moments ready at the Diet
asked a.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Question this morning on CNBC thank you for watching that
we can come back to in the second segment about
this meeting in Alaska.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Ye, like, I'm just like sitting around doing nothing.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, you got like eleven TVs here? No, no, look,
what's up is no? What's on the wall? I don't
know what we're watching here. In fact, I don't even
think you guys own all these channels and you're still watching.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Look, I'm just happy they all work.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
For a while, we only had one that worked.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
I mean, I think you own one of those. But
I don't you put c NBC. That's okay, No, that's
all right. Listen.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
You don't watch me when you're when I'm not. But
I listened to this pygram I do.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I adjusted my cable service to get News Nation because
of you had a boy and that counts. That's day.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Then I'd take it back.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
I trik it back.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Traffic check right now, boom beirvon Cannon.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
They make you say the White House staffers are kind
of depressed. Guys are in the.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Calls that waiting for the call yes, and then they
come out of the closet.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
There's a lot. There's a great story to that too.
I know where the feel is.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
This is Good Morning BT News Talk eleven, ten nine
nine three WBT Mick mulvaney in the Tyboid studio with
bo and Beth, and we've been talking about what's happening
at ten am this news conference that President Trump is
going to hold at the US Capital.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
But see that's one takeaway from the discussion we had
off air. The takeaway I have is that you still
don't have a promo code. Beth has a promo.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Code with a narroway. Yes, yeah, I'm not important enough yet.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
We need to get you a promo code.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You think, I think so I just would close the
whole deal.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That would be kind of cool. That could you could
do a humble brag.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Now he has had a bo Thompson special at Overhead Door.
Oh really he has? Oh he's been there now?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Was that the ninety nine dollars dealer? I remember that?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, yeah, that's Bernie renamed the company. He calls it Boverhead. Yeah,
it was definitely. It was me. It was not Steve.
It was me. I renamed it. Who don't listen to
Steve back in the background?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Who is he still here?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
I thought he'd left.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Steve's a hard working man sitting back there.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And Boomer's in the closet apparently.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Thuring a break all the things you've learned just today.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Is there really a traffic closet?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It really is a tiny little room that he's in.
It has its own little sliding pocket door.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Does the door lock from the outside?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Oh, I've never checked.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Uh, speaking homeless people, does he live here or does
he live does he live in the closet?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Boomer has a home.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I've never seen Boomer out in the wild actually here,
only North Myrtle Beach in here. Yeah, we've completely lost
control of the show.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
No, you have jumped in and I know a tangent
I had.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
I had coffee on the way in which I.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Don't mixed rabbit hole mulvaney.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Why fits so well on this Mr Personal algorithm right here?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
What I was gonna say was, everybody's talking about the
ten a m. President Trump news conference, but the big
one is actually Friday. This is the Trump and the
Putin and maybe these Zelensky. He said, yeah, do you
think Zelensky's going to figure into this by the time
we get to Friday in Alaska?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
You know, at some point he'll figure in a little bit.
But I think people have to have to realize, well,
the way the world is working right here, Ukraine cannot
defend itself. Okay, they are, They would cease to exist
if but for American and European support. I get it,
that's fine, it is what it is. But you don't
get then to dictate terms of your own negotiation if
(11:42):
you aren't the one. Actually, you know, providing the material
for the for the battle. So they're going to have
a place at the table at some point. But I
got news for you. If the Russians, the Americans, and
the Europeans all agree, you know what, here's what we're
gonna do. Crimea is going to become part of Russian
and we're going to recognize that Done Bass didn't asking
to become part of Russia.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
We're all going to recognize that.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
There's very little the Ukrainians are going to have to
say about it that if the war, if the war
ends on that and the Europeans, the Americans, of the
Russians all agree, the war is going to end like that.
That's what happens when you lose the ability to defend
yourself by yourself, you don't get us sape a seat
at the table. So yeah, he'll be involved in some
fashion because it just it looks wrong to do it
without it. But I don't blame Trump for starting at
(12:23):
the top. What's he gonna ask Lenski's Lensky, what do
you want to do? Okay, fine, you go sit in
the corner and you know the big boys, you're going
to talk.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Now, why hasn't he been able to have more influence
with Putin. I think he even I'm talking about Donald Trump, yes,
because I think he even thought, he said it often
during the campaign, that one phone call could stop this war,
and he hasn't been able to do that. What's the
difference now with the Putin that maybe Trump thought he knew,
versus the Putin that he's up against with with this
(12:52):
war in Ukraine.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
In all, I don't say this lightly.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I think that's the most interesting question to ask about
the first two hundred days. Everything else that Trump has done,
I can sort of say, Okay, this fits, this fits.
I didn't see this, but this fits. I absolutely saw
this coming, et cetera. The Russian situation has has I
got me and a bunch of other stuff completely not
flat footed. But I think Trump we recognize that Trump
(13:16):
has caught flat footed on this. He thought coming into
office that Zelenski was the primary hurdle to peace, and
that's why I think he thought it would be relatively
easy to make peace, because his influence over Zelenski is
almost complete and total. Right, So that didn't turn out
to be the case. And I think now in the
last couple of months he's recognized that the real impediment
here is Putin, and he doesn't know how to deal
(13:36):
with that, and he's got to go all the way
back to scratch and figure out, you know, how does
he negotiate with with somebody who's entirely different than Zelenski.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
And I don't know if he knows the answer yet.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I look at Friday mostly as sort of a fact
finding mission. I really don't expect anything big, and if
anything big is announced, my guess it'll be one of
those things with a very very broad rush with very
very few details to follow up, like, so, oh, we've
got it, We've cut a trade deal today. No, he didn't.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
We talked about in general principles about having a trade deal.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I'd be curious to see what comes out of this
thing on Friday, because I still think Trump is trying
to figure out how to deal with somebody who doesn't
want the war.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
To stop and who doesn't necessarily keep his word. He's
not necessarily someone who can be trusted. If he says sure, sure, sure,
I'll stop attacking, and then in the next day bombs
of the hospital.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Reagan knew it. I mean, what did Reagan say? Very
famous trust but verify. I mean, that's that's what's where
you are. And I think this is this is this
is the beginning of the discussion.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
I think for the end of the war. I don't
think this is the end of the war on Friday.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I think it's charming.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
But okay, this is good Morning beat.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
We got to bring it back first time in months,
little mulvany Monday music trivia. I think it's Uh, you've
been working on this.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I've been sitting on it because I've had it for
a while and we just haven't gotten around to it.
But we will forget more to get around to here.
In fact, more on the President Trump Russia Summit or
whatever we call this coming up on Friday. It's going
to happen in Alaska. Yeah, why is it in Alaska?
Speaker 6 (15:09):
I think it's in Alaska.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
In the CNBC interview this morning, they asked Heidi height
Camp if it was you know, it was appropriate to
bring Putin into the United States, and she was, oh, no,
this is terrible. You can't extend that type of courtesy.
And I'm sitt thinking, you know what, the only reason
they're doing in Alaska it's the easiest place to do
it on short notice.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
It's really really hard to move the president.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
And if you wanted to go to say hell Sinki, Finland,
that might take six weeks to do. And Trump doesn't
wait six weeks. He wants to do it now. Not
going to bring him to Washington because that's too high profile.
Alaska's close and you can see you know, what's your
name's house from there, Sarah Paloh, that's right, yeah, And
it's easy to secure. There's a military base that's attached
to the airport there, or at least a military facility's
(15:51):
attached to the airport that is probably fairly easy for
us to secure. It's where we held the first flights.
People forget this. When the when the first evacuation flights
from Wuhan happened at the beginning of COVID, we had
to stop over there and we segregated those people so
that because we didn't know what was going on with
the disease at the time. So there's a place there
that is relatively easy to secure, and my guess is
(16:12):
that's where they're going to go, and that's why they're going.
So it has nothing to do with with prestige or
you know, pr or whatever.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
It just has to do with logistics.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Is there any reason to believe or to be confident
that what we know President Trump wants, which is the
war to end that is imminent, could have What do
you think is the best that he can hope for
on Friday?
Speaker 6 (16:33):
I think the best the answer your first.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Question, other than the obvious, because the war's not going
to end, I don't think because Putin doesn't want it
to end yet. People don't cut a deal on ceasing battle,
on ending wars at a table until they believe the
deal they can get at the table is better than
the deal they can get in the field. And I
do not believe that Putin is there yet. If he
(16:55):
is there and then I just don't know it, then
I admit that I'm wrong. So I don't think it's
going to end. What's the best that Trump could hope
for to reestablish his credibility. I think he's got a
credibility problem now with Putin. Putin doesn't believe him. He's
set back, and he's watched Trump on all of these
tariffs set a deadline and move them, you know, set
sets all sorts of ultimatums on people and then move them,
(17:15):
even on the Russians, and move them, you know. And
I think Trump needs to sort of re establish his credibility,
which is really really hard to do. That being said,
he's a good negotiator and can do it. So my
guess is he's having this reason for this meeting for
a reason, and he's got an idea on how to
re establish his credibility.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
So you think Trump realizes that he's lost his footing
with Putin.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I don't know if I use that word. As much
as he doesn't get him that they don't, they're not
He doesn't understand how to how to negotiate with this guy.
He thought the guy wanted peace. The guy doesn't want peace,
So now what does he How do we make him
want peace? That's the issue, and is that possible?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I mean we're talking about a guy that was a
KGB operative. I mean, he's known for not doing the
right thing when people don't agree with classic negotiation.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Right, there's different ways to get you to want to
do something. Carrots and sticks and incentives and disincentives and
all that type of thing. And I think that's what
Trump is trying to figure out is I need to
look this guy in the eye. I need to figure
out what's going on, and you figure out what makes
him tick, and I get to figure out a way
out of this. Because even though Trump says it's not
his war, and I get that, now he says it's
not my war, this is Biden's war, and I get that,
But now you're the president. So while getting into the
(18:23):
war was not your fault, and I absolutely agree that
getting out of the war is your responsibility.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Well, and you've made it part of your campaign to
get back to the White House and that you're the
guy that can end it. Yes, but you're the guy
that can sit down with that guy and actually make
something happen.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And look at all the other hotspots that he's been
able to help resolve in the last ten or twelve
or something. A lot of them don't get a lot
of attention because they're very small and very regional. But
the Indian Pakistan thing, they played a role in that.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
He's good at this and he likes doing because he
really really doesn't like war. He's as close to being
a pacifist as you can get without being a pacifist.
He's not like that, but he really doesn't like war.
So this is what he doesn't like. Immigration, he doesn't
like people of tagging on you know, people of free
riding on American defense, and he doesn't like war. These
are some of his personal tenants and he really really
wants to stop this, but he's not been able to
(19:10):
do this one, and I think that sticks with him.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Well, you mentioned the CNBC interview that you did and
the talk about Okay, so having Vladimir Putin appear on
American soil, what sort of what does that look like?
I looked at it from the reverse direction, thinking, Okay,
if this is between two men trying to establish who
(19:33):
is the who has the higher ground, so to speak,
then wouldn't Vladimir Putin appearing on US soil be a
win for President Trump? Like you got to come to
my house?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Look, I go back to that.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, that's how I'm going to spin it as a
win for us that he has to come to our territory.
They're going to spin it as a win because they
get up, they get to go to our territory.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
All that kind of stuff. That's just pr right.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I come back to the logistics, make of what you
will the reason they're doing it here in Alaska is
that they can do it here in Alaska by Friday.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
So jd Vance was on Meet the Press yesterday and
I'm sorry it was Fox with Marie or Barbarimo. I
got to keep them all together anyway, real quick. Here
what he had to say about what's coming up Friday.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
We're going to try to find some negotiated settlement that
the Ukrainians and the Russians can live with, where they
can live in relative peace, where the killing stops. It's
not going to make anybody super happy. Both the Russians
and the Ukrainians probably at the end of the day
are going to be unhappy with it. But I don't
think you can actually sit down and have this negotiation
absent the leadership of Donald J.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Trump.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
And here the President said this to me today, privately, said, look,
maybe this works out, maybe it doesn't, but it's worth
the effort, it's worth trying, and we're going to keep
on using the diplomatic influence of the PRESI of the
United States to accomplish an into this conflict. And Maria,
you know this, but other people may not. If you
look at the President's foreign policy accomplishments.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
If you look at.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Congo Rwanda, a war that went on for thirty years,
killed six million people.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
If you look at the number.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Of hostages in Israel in Gaza who have been released.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
So I wanted you to hear the partner where he
said that this may work, it may not work. So
President Trump's going into Friday, and part of this is
at least appearing that you took a shot at working
this out.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Like I said, he really wants to do this. This
is not for show. This is what he doesn't like this.
He doesn't like what's happening in Gaza. He wants it
to stop. He just hasn't figured a way to handle
this one yet.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
But Zelenski has already said if he's not at the table,
then they're not going to recognize any binding thing from
this this agreement either.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I hate to be cavalier about it. They're going to
accept anything that the US and the EU goes to
them and say you need to sign this because otherwise,
I mean, I think it through, I mean gaming out.
So the US and the EU, okay, I'll kind of deal.
Say okay, CRIMEA, let's just pick CRIMEA. CRIMEA has to
go over to Russia and we're all going to recognize it.
That's the price of peace. And if the EU says
it's okay, and the US says it's okay, what's Ukraine
(21:57):
going to say? No, he said, okay, let's find you guys,
go off, do what you want to.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Then we're out.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
We just kind of deal with the Russians and we
got peace. We got you a great deal, We got
everybody a great deal. You don't like it, that's fine,
you're on your own. Now.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Ukraine really going to do that? I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
It's they say it's in their constitution. Finally rewrite the
constitution every couple of years.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Look, if I'm Zelensky, I'm going to say the same thing.
But that has to be your first bid. That can't
be the ultimate position.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Well, I think it has to do with the fact
that it was a preemptive strike, right, that Russia invaded Ukraine,
that they didn't start this conflict, that they just became
a victim of the conflict.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
That's right, And sometimes you lose, I mean, you just do. Look,
this is the fascinating sort of adjunct to this to me,
is that Macron I'll use him because I can't stand him.
Macron is going to sit there and say, you know what,
we can't reward the Russians for the invasion.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Whatever we do, we can't reward the Russians for invading
Ukraine the first place. Like, okay, on paper, that sounds
really really good, except you just did that, you know,
Immanuel with Palestine, you just rewarded Hamas for invade being
Israel on October seventh. Because now the end result is
you are promising to recognize a Palestine state. So don't
talk to us about your your your you know, your
(23:08):
holier than now sort of attitudes on rewarding people for
bad behavior.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
It happens in the world.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
This is good Morning, Beati final stretch here with Mick, mulvaney,
Bo and Beth on a Monday morning.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I would be remiss, Mick if I didn't ask you
about what the secret The current Secretary of Defense reposted
over the weekend It's getting a lot of attention. This
was on x He reposted a CNN package of a
video of a pastor talking about the belief that women
should not be able to vote, and the current sitting
(23:43):
Secretary of Defense reposted this, and of course, as you
can imagine, a lot of women were surprised by it.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
And I guess is maybe the chief of staff was
surprised by it.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I would think so as a woman, she probably was
surprised by it. I guess the question is does Donald
Trump see this? And does does Pete hagg Seth? Does
anything happen to Pete hagg Seth or is this something
in the rumblings of this administration that they want to
see happen?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, now, it is not anything in the rumblings administration
they want to see happens. I'm not sure what the
one thing that would explain it that's consistent with the
other behaviors. That's just the trolling of the left to
get people all wired up. But I would be curious
to be a fly on the wall when Susie Wiles
and Malania Trump call Pete hagg Seth in for a
meeting to talk about this, right?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
And is he thinking of that?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Can you'd be thinking of it when he goes in
for that meeting, all right?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Does? I'm trying to imagine.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I don't want to be there. I don't want to
have that.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I don't want to have those two ladies upset with me.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I can't imagine if Susie Wilds, you know, reposted a
video saying men shouldn't be able to vote.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You know what would happen if if.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You would be the first one arguing for it. I
can tell you I can tell I would absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
I would absolutely Just.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
That makes only one half the population you have to
mash the flesh with.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Are we ready?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Dang it?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You were listening Monday? Yeah, he always listens. He is
always listening.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
My wife turns it on on her sery in the
in the morning, in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
She texted me every now and again.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
It music trivia.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I'm gonna call boomers, not boomer, uh, boozer bozer. Yeah,
I'm supposed to guess who this is.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
No, you got five songs? You're gonna tell me what
they having?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Con Henley Off of Building the Perfect Beast, I think,
uh huh, Boys of Summer.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I don't know this one. This is Flana del Ray
had a feel why. I don't know it, but I'd
like to stay hip.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Okay, little variety, I can tell that about you. Yeah,
I know.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
That's rock m the dock watching the waves. So Is
it Sweet Home Alabama? Or is it Werewolves of London.
It's a fair question.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That is a fair question.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It is.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
He's got a lot going on in this song, but
way don't have time for him right now.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
We got back here.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Oh my gosh, Richard Marks, Oh.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Wow, I want to die.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, this is just for you.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I hang on.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I'd let him think in my life right now.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I'm so sad. I know all these lyrics.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Why are you playing this one longer than the other
ones for a reason?
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Oh it's songs about summer.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Okay, yeah, boys of summer, good vibrations.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So they were all beach boys.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
They are all number ones during the summertime. They're all
about summer. For you, it's usually it's usually chart related.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Well it is in a way.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
I'm trying to read his poker face and I can't.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
There are songs about that charted first before summer.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
No, they charted in the winter time.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Who Beth just got it? Oh, well, that's just got it.
I'm going to give you it enough because here's what
it is. Every single one of these songs are about summer,
but they were not released in the summer. So this
song right here Boys of Summer released in October of
eighty four, Summertime Sadness released in a March of twenty twelve.
(27:24):
All Summer Long by Kid Rock in October of seven.
Endless Summer Nights. You knew this, but I just have
to remind you by Richard Marx debuted in January of
eighty eight, and Goodbye Vibrations by the Beach Boys February
of nineteen.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
How did they do it in Australia?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
You know you would know that better than me.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
See that's an excellent point because it would have been summer.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
There you go, ah see, we're not.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I wish everyone could have seen how big Bow's eyes
got when I was the one who got there.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I think that's fantastic. And there wasn't one show tune
in there.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Although no, Richard Marx is kind of shakey.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Wonder you want some more of that?
Speaker 6 (28:00):
No, I don't want any more of that.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I'd rather listen to Brian Adams mix it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I want to die. Well, wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Richard Ard did he sing for another band or something
like that?
Speaker 6 (28:10):
But was Richard Mark skin Well?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
He had that he was where everything you go, whenever
you do, right here.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Waiting for you the piano ballad, or, as bo would say,
the piano ballad, well.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Just for you, Mick on your way out, since you
asked for it.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
No I didn't. I mean, you know, it was a
figure of speech.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
And we're talking about summer. We can do this too now.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
And I'm going to tell you what the song is
really about. And you're gonna get upset with me again.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That's in the seventeenth segment.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
I don't want to know.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I want it to be about the summer of nineteen.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Sixty nine Beck when he was like two years old.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
All right, that'll wrap it. I think this is going
to be the last one in studio for all.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
This could be the last one ever.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
I have less yes, So I'm gonna.
Speaker 6 (28:54):

Look for me Sunday, going to be there, honey, is
something special chests for you?
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Now look at the guy. He's already been on CNBC
today making the rounds vack here at one Julian Price Place,
the former White House Chief of Staff, South Carolina congressman,
White House Budget Director, and you see him on News
Nation too, Mick mulvaney. Hello, how's it going good?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Did I hear you do it? Sean Connor impersonation in
the last segment?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I don't know, not on purpose.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I think that's that's even better.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
What did I say something about x shash oh oh
with the milkshakesh shsh sounded like that I paid for
the x shash.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
There you go, There you go.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I think that's exactly the voice you used.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, branching out, I like to say, there you go,
there you go. Well glad we get rid of the
cenator this week. Good disgracious, wasn't that tedious?
Speaker 6 (01:28):
Less?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Good guy?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Oh my goodness?
Speaker 6 (01:30):
I know. Uh, however, talk talk talk now, you.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Know, they get paid by the word in the Senate,
in the House of Lords.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
I enjoyed that though Tom was a really good guy.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
That was a really it was fun, fun hour and
a half for for us. But we got tons of
feedback from from listeners too, that that people enjoyed that
kind of conversation that the two of you had with
each other.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Yeah, Tom and I don't agree on everything. That's listen.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
That's part of what makes what used to make Washington,
you know, fun, is that you could agree with people
some of the time, disagree some people the time they
have a beer.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
I bet you can't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You said Washington, right, I did say Washington. This what
I mean? This was posted on truth Social at eight
eleven this morning. So about an hour ago you said Washington.
President Trump says Washington, d C will be liberated today.
Crime savagery, filth, and scum will disappear. I will make
our capital great again. The days of ruthlessly killing or
(02:24):
hurting innocent people are over. I quickly fixed the border,
zero illegals in the last three month months. DC is next.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. So coming
up at ten am. This is what he teased over
the weekend. He is holding a news conference at the
capitol and a lot going on here. I'm curious as
to what you think is going to happen in less
(02:46):
than an hour now.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, you know, I don't get nearly as bent out
of shape over this as some other folks.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
You know, I don't like what Trump is doing.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Fact I talked about on CNBC this morning about the
government buying pieces of private businesses and so forth, about
trying to start a sovereign well fund all of the
government ownership of the means of production, which I really
don't like this.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
I got no problem with this.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I mean, people, oh my goodness, he's going to federalize
the District of Columbia. I have news for everybody. It's
federal already. It is. It's not a state, it is
a federal district. And Trump is not really doing anything that.
In fact, there's a school of thought within the conservative
movement that Home Rule was illegal to begin with because
it denied the president his role over the control of
(03:27):
the district. The federal government was given control over the
District of Columbia in the Constitution, and that includes a
role for the president which was completely removed through the
Home Rule Act. So anyway, again that's a sort of
more of an intellectual conversation, but I don't get bet
over shape out of it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, and just to remind people, the Home Rule Act
was something that was during the Nixon administration. It was
nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
And signed by and signed into law and all that.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's but the point is, look in the greater scheme
of things, taking over the District of Columbia by the
federal government is not the same as taking over the
state of South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
What is his end game here, though? What is is
this to try to get attention off of other stories
or what is the what's the end goal with this?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
That criticism will exist for Donald Trump for everything for
the next three and a half years because and that
is how he works, right, So let's let's move on
to the next big thing. But I don't like the
story on X. I'll try and make a story on why.
And he's great at that.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
He manages it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
He manages the media for him. But that being said,
I mean every single time he does something, there's people
oh my goodness, he's doing this to cover up though
he's not. This has very little do with Epstein.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
I can assure you this.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
They just have to do with something that he wants
to do. But what's the end goal. The end goal
is to try and make Washington safe again.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Washington's a disaster.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
It is, you know, I spend too much time there.
It is never recovered from COVID. The Biden administration let
all these federal workers stay home forever, which was I mean,
a sin of such great gravity when it came to
the health of that city. You know, restaurants have not
opened again. The place is just not safe. I mean,
he's not a friend of mine, so I can't say
(05:03):
a friend of mine this happenue. But woman who used
to work for me was married to this guy shot
to death in the head on New York Avenue. YEA,
Now we all know in big cities there's places that
you're not supposed to go.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
We get that.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
There's places in every art there's places in this city
right now you shouldn't go to.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
It's not safe.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Right New York Avenue is not one of Thosese at
Thirteenth Street in Washington, d C. I mean, I think
was in front of the Bloomberg offices or something like that.
That kind of stuff takes place too often, and Trump
simply doesn't want it. He wants to have a city
that is safe for American citizens to come visit, and
he's going to have that.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
So he said in his truth social post over the weekend,
teasing the press conference that's supposed to happen at ten
o'clock today at the Capital, he said that he was
going to move the homeless out of the city and
put criminals in jail. We're we're if he's moving the homeless,
where does he move them to and how and where
do they go? And what's this process?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, No, it's a question that a lot of faks are asking.
I know they're asked the same question in California. Either
they go where they stay? Right, those are the two choices,
and they're both bad choices. The reason that they are
there and they are homeless in the first place, is
that they can't afford to live in that town.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
And there's folks who have mental illness.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I get all of that, but if you look large
writ large at the correlation between our inability to provide
affordable housing for people and homelessness, there's a direct line
between those two things.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, so let me read just the excerpt, because Beth
alluded to this, and the initial post about it was
at eleven am yesterday he said, the homeless have to
move out immediately. We will give you places to stay,
but far from the capital. The criminals, you don't have
to move out. We're going to put you in jail
where you belong. It's all going to happen very fast,
just like the border. So my initial question for you
(06:45):
was was more along the lines of okay, at ten am,
how do you think this is going to play out?
Is what are they going to you know's aesthetically what's
going to be the plan today.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I don't think you're going to see, you know, armored
personnel carriers moving into the city. If that's what you're
talking about. You might see a little bit more of
a of a police presence. You might see a National
Guard presence at some point, but I don't think they're
going to be airlifting in the hundred and first.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
If that's your.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Question, well, I just I know Trump is big on optics. Yeah,
and you're making a big deal about this.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So I'm just curious that you're really going to see
is a lawsuit from the from somebody. I mean it's
probably going to be the local city council, the mayor,
Bowser or something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Or maybe some sort of signing of something he likes,
because he does a lot of those signing ceremonies. Maybe
some sort of edict about what he says is going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I was talking it has nothing to do with anything,
and just how the White House works. I was talking
to a friend of mine this weekend who was in
the Oval office last week. I was doing his radio
program on Saturday, and like, hy, I saw you on TV.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
He was, Yeah, I walked in the present said come in,
I want to meet you, and I don't want to
meet with you on something, so I just walked in.
It was just him and me and we're having a conversation.
Always says, you know, what this is great, this is great,
Let's have a presser right now. And he just calls
it all the folks to have a press conference. So
there could be some of that today where it's not going.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
To be what you're saying, is a press conference broke out?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's exactly right, And the guy says to because and
then all of a sudden, all this reporter shop, where
do you hide those people? Are they in a closet someplace?
And like, yes, they're in the press pool, just waiting
for Trump to say come in the office. Anyway, that's
not not what you were talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
No, but it's uh, it actually sort of fits with
what I imagined, because you know, he's got to have
he's got to have those moments ready at the Diet
asked a.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Question this morning on CNBC thank you for watching that
we can come back to in the second segment about
this meeting in Alaska.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Ye, like, I'm just like sitting around doing nothing.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, you got like eleven TVs here? No, no, look,
what's up is no? What's on the wall? I don't
know what we're watching here. In fact, I don't even
think you guys own all these channels and you're still watching.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Look, I'm just happy they all work.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
For a while, we only had one that worked.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
I mean, I think you own one of those. But
I don't you put c NBC. That's okay, No, that's
all right. Listen.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
You don't watch me when you're when I'm not. But
I listened to this pygram I do.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I adjusted my cable service to get News Nation because
of you had a boy and that counts. That's day.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Then I'd take it back.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
I trik it back.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Traffic check right now, boom beirvon Cannon.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
They make you say the White House staffers are kind
of depressed. Guys are in the.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Calls that waiting for the call yes, and then they
come out of the closet.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
There's a lot. There's a great story to that too.
I know where the feel is.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
This is Good Morning BT News Talk eleven, ten nine
nine three WBT Mick mulvaney in the Tyboid studio with
bo and Beth, and we've been talking about what's happening
at ten am this news conference that President Trump is
going to hold at the US Capital.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
But see that's one takeaway from the discussion we had
off air. The takeaway I have is that you still
don't have a promo code. Beth has a promo.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Code with a narroway. Yes, yeah, I'm not important enough yet.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
We need to get you a promo code.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You think, I think so I just would close the
whole deal.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That would be kind of cool. That could you could
do a humble brag.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Now he has had a bo Thompson special at Overhead Door.
Oh really he has? Oh he's been there now?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Was that the ninety nine dollars dealer? I remember that?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, yeah, that's Bernie renamed the company. He calls it Boverhead. Yeah,
it was definitely. It was me. It was not Steve.
It was me. I renamed it. Who don't listen to
Steve back in the background?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Who is he still here?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
I thought he'd left.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Steve's a hard working man sitting back there.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And Boomer's in the closet apparently.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Thuring a break all the things you've learned just today.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Is there really a traffic closet?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It really is a tiny little room that he's in.
It has its own little sliding pocket door.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Does the door lock from the outside?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Oh, I've never checked.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Uh, speaking homeless people, does he live here or does
he live does he live in the closet?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Boomer has a home.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I've never seen Boomer out in the wild actually here,
only North Myrtle Beach in here. Yeah, we've completely lost
control of the show.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
No, you have jumped in and I know a tangent
I had.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
I had coffee on the way in which I.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Don't mixed rabbit hole mulvaney.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Why fits so well on this Mr Personal algorithm right here?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
What I was gonna say was, everybody's talking about the
ten a m. President Trump news conference, but the big
one is actually Friday. This is the Trump and the
Putin and maybe these Zelensky. He said, yeah, do you
think Zelensky's going to figure into this by the time
we get to Friday in Alaska?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
You know, at some point he'll figure in a little bit.
But I think people have to have to realize, well,
the way the world is working right here, Ukraine cannot
defend itself. Okay, they are, They would cease to exist
if but for American and European support. I get it,
that's fine, it is what it is. But you don't
get then to dictate terms of your own negotiation if
(11:42):
you aren't the one. Actually, you know, providing the material
for the for the battle. So they're going to have
a place at the table at some point. But I
got news for you. If the Russians, the Americans, and
the Europeans all agree, you know what, here's what we're
gonna do. Crimea is going to become part of Russian
and we're going to recognize that Done Bass didn't asking
to become part of Russia.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
We're all going to recognize that.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
There's very little the Ukrainians are going to have to
say about it that if the war, if the war
ends on that and the Europeans, the Americans, of the
Russians all agree, the war is going to end like that.
That's what happens when you lose the ability to defend
yourself by yourself, you don't get us sape a seat
at the table. So yeah, he'll be involved in some
fashion because it just it looks wrong to do it
without it. But I don't blame Trump for starting at
(12:23):
the top. What's he gonna ask Lenski's Lensky, what do
you want to do? Okay, fine, you go sit in
the corner and you know the big boys, you're going
to talk.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Now, why hasn't he been able to have more influence
with Putin. I think he even I'm talking about Donald Trump, yes,
because I think he even thought, he said it often
during the campaign, that one phone call could stop this war,
and he hasn't been able to do that. What's the
difference now with the Putin that maybe Trump thought he knew,
versus the Putin that he's up against with with this
(12:52):
war in Ukraine.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
In all, I don't say this lightly.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I think that's the most interesting question to ask about
the first two hundred days. Everything else that Trump has done,
I can sort of say, Okay, this fits, this fits.
I didn't see this, but this fits. I absolutely saw
this coming, et cetera. The Russian situation has has I
got me and a bunch of other stuff completely not
flat footed. But I think Trump we recognize that Trump
(13:16):
has caught flat footed on this. He thought coming into
office that Zelenski was the primary hurdle to peace, and
that's why I think he thought it would be relatively
easy to make peace, because his influence over Zelenski is
almost complete and total. Right, So that didn't turn out
to be the case. And I think now in the
last couple of months he's recognized that the real impediment
here is Putin, and he doesn't know how to deal
(13:36):
with that, and he's got to go all the way
back to scratch and figure out, you know, how does
he negotiate with with somebody who's entirely different than Zelenski.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
And I don't know if he knows the answer yet.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I look at Friday mostly as sort of a fact
finding mission. I really don't expect anything big, and if
anything big is announced, my guess it'll be one of
those things with a very very broad rush with very
very few details to follow up, like, so, oh, we've
got it, We've cut a trade deal today. No, he didn't.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
We talked about in general principles about having a trade deal.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I'd be curious to see what comes out of this
thing on Friday, because I still think Trump is trying
to figure out how to deal with somebody who doesn't
want the war.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
To stop and who doesn't necessarily keep his word. He's
not necessarily someone who can be trusted. If he says sure, sure, sure,
I'll stop attacking, and then in the next day bombs
of the hospital.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Reagan knew it. I mean, what did Reagan say? Very
famous trust but verify. I mean, that's that's what's where
you are. And I think this is this is this
is the beginning of the discussion.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
I think for the end of the war. I don't
think this is the end of the war on Friday.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I think it's charming.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
But okay, this is good Morning beat.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
We got to bring it back first time in months,
little mulvany Monday music trivia. I think it's Uh, you've
been working on this.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I've been sitting on it because I've had it for
a while and we just haven't gotten around to it.
But we will forget more to get around to here.
In fact, more on the President Trump Russia Summit or
whatever we call this coming up on Friday. It's going
to happen in Alaska. Yeah, why is it in Alaska?
Speaker 6 (15:09):
I think it's in Alaska.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
In the CNBC interview this morning, they asked Heidi height
Camp if it was you know, it was appropriate to
bring Putin into the United States, and she was, oh, no,
this is terrible. You can't extend that type of courtesy.
And I'm sitt thinking, you know what, the only reason
they're doing in Alaska it's the easiest place to do
it on short notice.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
It's really really hard to move the president.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
And if you wanted to go to say hell Sinki, Finland,
that might take six weeks to do. And Trump doesn't
wait six weeks. He wants to do it now. Not
going to bring him to Washington because that's too high profile.
Alaska's close and you can see you know, what's your
name's house from there, Sarah Paloh, that's right, yeah, And
it's easy to secure. There's a military base that's attached
to the airport there, or at least a military facility's
(15:51):
attached to the airport that is probably fairly easy for
us to secure. It's where we held the first flights.
People forget this. When the when the first evacuation flights
from Wuhan happened at the beginning of COVID, we had
to stop over there and we segregated those people so
that because we didn't know what was going on with
the disease at the time. So there's a place there
that is relatively easy to secure, and my guess is
(16:12):
that's where they're going to go, and that's why they're going.
So it has nothing to do with with prestige or
you know, pr or whatever.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
It just has to do with logistics.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Is there any reason to believe or to be confident
that what we know President Trump wants, which is the
war to end that is imminent, could have What do
you think is the best that he can hope for
on Friday?
Speaker 6 (16:33):
I think the best the answer your first.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Question, other than the obvious, because the war's not going
to end, I don't think because Putin doesn't want it
to end yet. People don't cut a deal on ceasing battle,
on ending wars at a table until they believe the
deal they can get at the table is better than
the deal they can get in the field. And I
do not believe that Putin is there yet. If he
(16:55):
is there and then I just don't know it, then
I admit that I'm wrong. So I don't think it's
going to end. What's the best that Trump could hope
for to reestablish his credibility. I think he's got a
credibility problem now with Putin. Putin doesn't believe him. He's
set back, and he's watched Trump on all of these
tariffs set a deadline and move them, you know, set
sets all sorts of ultimatums on people and then move them,
(17:15):
even on the Russians, and move them, you know. And
I think Trump needs to sort of re establish his credibility,
which is really really hard to do. That being said,
he's a good negotiator and can do it. So my
guess is he's having this reason for this meeting for
a reason, and he's got an idea on how to
re establish his credibility.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
So you think Trump realizes that he's lost his footing
with Putin.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I don't know if I use that word. As much
as he doesn't get him that they don't, they're not
He doesn't understand how to how to negotiate with this guy.
He thought the guy wanted peace. The guy doesn't want peace,
So now what does he How do we make him
want peace? That's the issue, and is that possible?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I mean we're talking about a guy that was a
KGB operative. I mean, he's known for not doing the
right thing when people don't agree with classic negotiation.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Right, there's different ways to get you to want to
do something. Carrots and sticks and incentives and disincentives and
all that type of thing. And I think that's what
Trump is trying to figure out is I need to
look this guy in the eye. I need to figure
out what's going on, and you figure out what makes
him tick, and I get to figure out a way
out of this. Because even though Trump says it's not
his war, and I get that, now he says it's
not my war, this is Biden's war, and I get that,
But now you're the president. So while getting into the
(18:23):
war was not your fault, and I absolutely agree that
getting out of the war is your responsibility.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Well, and you've made it part of your campaign to
get back to the White House and that you're the
guy that can end it. Yes, but you're the guy
that can sit down with that guy and actually make
something happen.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And look at all the other hotspots that he's been
able to help resolve in the last ten or twelve
or something. A lot of them don't get a lot
of attention because they're very small and very regional. But
the Indian Pakistan thing, they played a role in that.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
He's good at this and he likes doing because he
really really doesn't like war. He's as close to being
a pacifist as you can get without being a pacifist.
He's not like that, but he really doesn't like war.
So this is what he doesn't like. Immigration, he doesn't
like people of tagging on you know, people of free
riding on American defense, and he doesn't like war. These
are some of his personal tenants and he really really
wants to stop this, but he's not been able to
(19:10):
do this one, and I think that sticks with him.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Well, you mentioned the CNBC interview that you did and
the talk about Okay, so having Vladimir Putin appear on
American soil, what sort of what does that look like?
I looked at it from the reverse direction, thinking, Okay,
if this is between two men trying to establish who
(19:33):
is the who has the higher ground, so to speak,
then wouldn't Vladimir Putin appearing on US soil be a
win for President Trump? Like you got to come to
my house?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Look, I go back to that.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, that's how I'm going to spin it as a
win for us that he has to come to our territory.
They're going to spin it as a win because they
get up, they get to go to our territory.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
All that kind of stuff. That's just pr right.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I come back to the logistics, make of what you
will the reason they're doing it here in Alaska is
that they can do it here in Alaska by Friday.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
So jd Vance was on Meet the Press yesterday and
I'm sorry it was Fox with Marie or Barbarimo. I
got to keep them all together anyway, real quick. Here
what he had to say about what's coming up Friday.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
We're going to try to find some negotiated settlement that
the Ukrainians and the Russians can live with, where they
can live in relative peace, where the killing stops. It's
not going to make anybody super happy. Both the Russians
and the Ukrainians probably at the end of the day
are going to be unhappy with it. But I don't
think you can actually sit down and have this negotiation
absent the leadership of Donald J.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Trump.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
And here the President said this to me today, privately, said, look,
maybe this works out, maybe it doesn't, but it's worth
the effort, it's worth trying, and we're going to keep
on using the diplomatic influence of the PRESI of the
United States to accomplish an into this conflict. And Maria,
you know this, but other people may not. If you
look at the President's foreign policy accomplishments.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
If you look at.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Congo Rwanda, a war that went on for thirty years,
killed six million people.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
If you look at the number.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Of hostages in Israel in Gaza who have been released.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
So I wanted you to hear the partner where he
said that this may work, it may not work. So
President Trump's going into Friday, and part of this is
at least appearing that you took a shot at working
this out.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Like I said, he really wants to do this. This
is not for show. This is what he doesn't like this.
He doesn't like what's happening in Gaza. He wants it
to stop. He just hasn't figured a way to handle
this one yet.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
But Zelenski has already said if he's not at the table,
then they're not going to recognize any binding thing from
this this agreement either.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I hate to be cavalier about it. They're going to
accept anything that the US and the EU goes to
them and say you need to sign this because otherwise,
I mean, I think it through, I mean gaming out.
So the US and the EU, okay, I'll kind of deal.
Say okay, CRIMEA, let's just pick CRIMEA. CRIMEA has to
go over to Russia and we're all going to recognize it.
That's the price of peace. And if the EU says
it's okay, and the US says it's okay, what's Ukraine
(21:57):
going to say? No, he said, okay, let's find you guys,
go off, do what you want to.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Then we're out.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
We just kind of deal with the Russians and we
got peace. We got you a great deal, We got
everybody a great deal. You don't like it, that's fine,
you're on your own. Now.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Ukraine really going to do that? I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
It's they say it's in their constitution. Finally rewrite the
constitution every couple of years.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Look, if I'm Zelensky, I'm going to say the same thing.
But that has to be your first bid. That can't
be the ultimate position.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Well, I think it has to do with the fact
that it was a preemptive strike, right, that Russia invaded Ukraine,
that they didn't start this conflict, that they just became
a victim of the conflict.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
That's right, And sometimes you lose, I mean, you just do. Look,
this is the fascinating sort of adjunct to this to me,
is that Macron I'll use him because I can't stand him.
Macron is going to sit there and say, you know what,
we can't reward the Russians for the invasion.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Whatever we do, we can't reward the Russians for invading
Ukraine the first place. Like, okay, on paper, that sounds
really really good, except you just did that, you know,
Immanuel with Palestine, you just rewarded Hamas for invade being
Israel on October seventh. Because now the end result is
you are promising to recognize a Palestine state. So don't
talk to us about your your your you know, your
(23:08):
holier than now sort of attitudes on rewarding people for
bad behavior.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
It happens in the world.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
This is good Morning, Beati final stretch here with Mick, mulvaney,
Bo and Beth on a Monday morning.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I would be remiss, Mick if I didn't ask you
about what the secret The current Secretary of Defense reposted
over the weekend It's getting a lot of attention. This
was on x He reposted a CNN package of a
video of a pastor talking about the belief that women
should not be able to vote, and the current sitting
(23:43):
Secretary of Defense reposted this, and of course, as you
can imagine, a lot of women were surprised by it.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
And I guess is maybe the chief of staff was
surprised by it.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I would think so as a woman, she probably was
surprised by it. I guess the question is does Donald
Trump see this? And does does Pete hagg Seth? Does
anything happen to Pete hagg Seth or is this something
in the rumblings of this administration that they want to
see happen?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, now, it is not anything in the rumblings administration
they want to see happens. I'm not sure what the
one thing that would explain it that's consistent with the
other behaviors. That's just the trolling of the left to
get people all wired up. But I would be curious
to be a fly on the wall when Susie Wiles
and Malania Trump call Pete hagg Seth in for a
meeting to talk about this, right?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
And is he thinking of that?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Can you'd be thinking of it when he goes in
for that meeting, all right?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Does? I'm trying to imagine.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I don't want to be there. I don't want to
have that.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I don't want to have those two ladies upset with me.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I can't imagine if Susie Wilds, you know, reposted a
video saying men shouldn't be able to vote.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You know what would happen if if.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You would be the first one arguing for it. I
can tell you I can tell I would absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
I would absolutely Just.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
That makes only one half the population you have to
mash the flesh with.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Are we ready?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Dang it?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You were listening Monday? Yeah, he always listens. He is
always listening.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
My wife turns it on on her sery in the
in the morning, in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
She texted me every now and again.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
It music trivia.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I'm gonna call boomers, not boomer, uh, boozer bozer. Yeah,
I'm supposed to guess who this is.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
No, you got five songs? You're gonna tell me what
they having?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Con Henley Off of Building the Perfect Beast, I think,
uh huh, Boys of Summer.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I don't know this one. This is Flana del Ray
had a feel why. I don't know it, but I'd
like to stay hip.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Okay, little variety, I can tell that about you. Yeah,
I know.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
That's rock m the dock watching the waves. So Is
it Sweet Home Alabama? Or is it Werewolves of London.
It's a fair question.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That is a fair question.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It is.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
He's got a lot going on in this song, but
way don't have time for him right now.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
We got back here.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Oh my gosh, Richard Marks, Oh.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Wow, I want to die.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, this is just for you.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I hang on.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I'd let him think in my life right now.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I'm so sad. I know all these lyrics.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Why are you playing this one longer than the other
ones for a reason?
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Oh it's songs about summer.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Okay, yeah, boys of summer, good vibrations.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So they were all beach boys.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
They are all number ones during the summertime. They're all
about summer. For you, it's usually it's usually chart related.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Well it is in a way.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
I'm trying to read his poker face and I can't.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
There are songs about that charted first before summer.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
No, they charted in the winter time.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Who Beth just got it? Oh, well, that's just got it.
I'm going to give you it enough because here's what
it is. Every single one of these songs are about summer,
but they were not released in the summer. So this
song right here Boys of Summer released in October of
eighty four, Summertime Sadness released in a March of twenty twelve.
(27:24):
All Summer Long by Kid Rock in October of seven.
Endless Summer Nights. You knew this, but I just have
to remind you by Richard Marx debuted in January of
eighty eight, and Goodbye Vibrations by the Beach Boys February
of nineteen.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
How did they do it in Australia?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
You know you would know that better than me.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
See that's an excellent point because it would have been summer.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
There you go, ah see, we're not.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I wish everyone could have seen how big Bow's eyes
got when I was the one who got there.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I think that's fantastic. And there wasn't one show tune
in there.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Although no, Richard Marx is kind of shakey.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Wonder you want some more of that?
Speaker 6 (28:00):
No, I don't want any more of that.
