Speaker 1 (00:00):
You just heard the news.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Now you'll find out what it all means.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
He smarts amone on seven to ten War. Well, hey,
we'll get to the shutdown ending and what it all means.
We'll get to we'll get to President Trump. What a
day yesterday is a football career was highlighted on television.
We'll get to Nancy Pelosi. We'll get to mom, Donnie.

(00:27):
We'll get to the BBC total corruption over there and
now having a clean house, it looks like the shutdown
will end this week. Democrats, they hate to say they caved,
but they caved and gave in, and Chuck Schumer now
in big, big trouble with Democrats. Chuck Schumer still thinks

(00:49):
this nineteen seventy eight, thinks he can fool people with
his nonsense. So he mean, you know, pounding the table
about I don't like this disagreement and I'm voting against it.
It didn't fool anybody because he controls the Senate, and
he allowed eight senators to jump ship and go vote
for it. He could have kept him in line if

(01:10):
he wanted to, but he didn't want to, so he
didn't want to be on record as voting for it.
But he made sure those eight voted for it, and
this will lead to the end of the shutdown. So Schumer,
totally behind the scenes cave thought he could fool the
voters with it, the Democrats, but they are furious at him.
It's pretty much the end of Schumer's career. He was

(01:31):
on the way out anyway, and couldn't he possibly get
reelected next year?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
In fact, rumor everywhere that.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
He'll announce he's not running for reelection at some point.
But Democrats yelling and screaming about him.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I think he.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Thought he could get away with it. He's just so
far behind the times. But he's in real trouble right now.
So it comes down to two things. One is they
kept talking about healthcare Amacare they call it the Affordable
Care Act, and the subsidies that people need to pay
for it. That was the main issue. But really for

(02:09):
many of these senators, the main issue was the flight cancelations.
Fifteen hundred flights canceled today alone, So it was snarling
at airports, making travel almost impossible for a lot of people,
and just screwing up everybody who need to get on
a plane. And that's Schumer, that's people in Congress that's

(02:31):
their donors and a lot of voters that they count on.
They'll make it sound like this was about healthcare for
people that.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Poverty that needed it.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
It was thrilling about the flights, and it was screwing
up the people that they talked to.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
The other thing, you got totally corrupt media in this country.
They never ask any legitimate questions. You see all these Democrats,
all these atom shifts and all these Schumer types come
on the Sunday shows and talk about we must have
the subsidies to pay for people to have the Affordable
Care Act, the Obamacare. You've never heard any media person
ever say the Democrats.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
If it's the.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Affordable Care Act, if it's affordable, why would anybody need
a subsidy to pay for it. It's obviously not affordable
if you need a big government subsidy to be able
to afford it. So nobody ever brings that up. The
part of the deal is the Trump administration gave in
on a couple of things. They will agree to rehire everybody.
There'll be no layoffs or anything, no lost jobs as

(03:32):
a result. They'll rehire everybody, full back pay for everybody. Figure,
what's today Monday, Tuesday, figure Wednesday, it formally ends. Everybody
gets paid by the weekend. Flights will get back to
normal in time for Thanksgiving. So hey, President Trump announced
a lot of pardons.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Was it last night? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Last night, I remember the whole A mount of seventy
five pardons. People that had something to do with questioning
the twenty twenty election January sixthy. These are the people
that got behind it. Isn't not rioters at the Capitol.
These are people that wanted to use a different slate
of electors. This was considered the lowest form of treason. Now,

(04:17):
of course you got totally corrupt media. They never pointed
out to anybody this happens all the time. Democrats have
done this, proposed alternate electors. Al Gore was one of
the people that did that. So when a Republican get elected,
Democrats on the floor on their January sixth would actually say,

(04:37):
we don't vote for these electors. We want to vote
for an alternate slate of electors. Happens all the time.
But in the case of Trump, the double standard, the hypocrisy,
They were all over them for that, and then all
the people were involved, the attorneys involved Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell,
all these types, the lawyers, all were getting charged in

(04:59):
all sorts of courts, in all sorts of places. Now,
this pardon is only for federal cases, so it doesn't
affect the current cases going on in you know, Rudy
Giuliani and Georgia, Sidney Powell and Georgia. It doesn't cover
those local cases, and it's only for federal charges.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
So why do it? Is it just symbolic?

Speaker 1 (05:16):
No, Actually, this is because it's possible Republicans could lose
the mid terms and Democrats could take control of Congress
next year.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
If that's the case, they'll.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
You know, these lunatics, their whole life is January sixth,
one hundred years from now. They'll be yelling about January sixth.
For those who don't remember, January sixth was that trespassing
incident at the Capitol. So in case the Democrats do
take control of Congress, they'll come after all these people.
They'll hold hearings, try to do criminal referrals. So that's

(05:49):
why a federal pardon for all of these people. Schumer
on the shutdown.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Our offer is not a new policy. This is not
negotiating in a shutdown. It's simply agreeing to maintain current
funding levels. A one year extension is something many Republicans
themselves have said they want.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Does anybody take this guy seriously?

Speaker 3 (06:10):
We will agree with the Republican Republican request not to
start negotiations until after the government reopens. All Republicans have
to do is say yes to extend current law for
one year.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I don't know, you know he's reading it off an
index card. He's got those big, big, big glasses. Now,
he got rid of little Ben Franklin glasses, got rid
of those cheap sport coats. He wears an actual suit.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Now.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
I don't know why you think somebody's listening to this.
If you watch these crazy Sunday shows, they're all talking
about Trump's in the cave, Trump's gonna have ever watched
the ABC Sunday Show. It is the most ridiculous show
in the world. They got three rotating Trump haters, each
one hates Trump more than the other one. It's that
old weather beaten. What's her name? The woman I'm blanking out,

(06:59):
Martha Arthur Raddits, Martha Raddits, and then who's the Jonathan
carl who he comes down and it pretends to be
some sort of anchorman who's objectively looking.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
At the news.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Meantime he's got a book out trashing Trump about it.
And then I think this week was actually George Stephanoppolos,
who's like a pit bull, just biting every day when
you watch him with a with a Republican guest, like
a pit bull, like mauling, biting, clawing. Then they come
back from the commercially he's got a Democrat on. He's
like a gentle little poodle.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Just uh. It's a ridiculous show.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
And then they have they go to our panel and
they tell you that the panel is made up of
Democrats and Republicans, but in a massive coincidence, the only
Republicans on the panel are people that have been fired
by Donald Trump and hate Donald Trump. Chris Christie is
one of this is this is why they love Chris Christie.
They can call him a Republican, but all he does

(07:55):
is bash Trump. In fact, Trump was asked about this yesterday.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Everybody knows I know Chris better than anybody in their room.
I always felt he was guilty. But what he did
is he took the George Washington Bridge was very serious.
He closed down the George Washington Bridge, and you had
medical people, you had ambulances caught up. You know, this
thing was closed out, and obviously he knew about it.

(08:19):
But he blamed the young lady that had worked for
him and another person and they got into a lot
of trouble.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
So that's the panel. It's a bunch two Democrats and
then well you have two Republicans. But just by coincidence,
there were both people fired bitterly bitter feud fighted by
Donald Trump, Ryan's prebus and Chris Christie Hey. Yesterday great
football game Commanders and the Lions. President Trump leaving mar
A Lago early, like at noon, normally leaves about five o'clock,

(08:48):
but to go to the game, he did a flyover
with Air Force one over the stadium. The game, of
course being broadcast all over the country. Trump was a big,
big star there at the game. They kept covering him.
They invited him into the booth. We the Lions guy
when he scored the touchdown, did the Trump dance in
the end zone? Liberals woke Democrats would get sick watching this,

(09:10):
but they never watched football.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
They never do.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Some people are now proposing to rename the stadium in Washington,
d C. Trump Stadium. He was instrumental in getting the
funding getting it built. That's the reason to justify it.
But the real reason to do it is just to
drive people in Washington nuts, Just to drive the Democrats nuts,
because every time they have to drive by it is

(09:34):
a big sign Trump Stadium, they'll go crazy. But they
had him in the broadcast booth for about nine minutes
yesterday on the broadcast. Remember Trump actually owned a football team,
the New York Generals, or was it the New Jersey Generals.
The Generals, remember herschel Walker. Remember they formed that other
football league UFL, whatever it was. But Trump actually owned

(09:55):
a football team, and he was a football player in
college and in high school. And well here's Trump in
the booth yesterday.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
I played tight end, but I mean it was not
quite football like this.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
It was a little bit easier.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
It wasn't so tough, and we had a quarterback who
didn't have a very strong arm. I would say ten
yards was a long pass.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, So he was pretty good there for They kept
him on a long time.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
I love the Jets and I love the Giants. I
had a lot of friends Baptish and some people that
owned the Giants at the time. As we're going along
and progressing, and you know, look, we had a couple
of Super Bowls with the Giants. The Jets have been
having a little bit of a hard time. Woody's a
great guy. He's a great friend of mine. They'll get
it together.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yeah, Woody Johnson's a great guy. The worst owner in
the history of sports. Nobody's a close second, single worst
owner in the history of sports. Hey, you probably didn't
watch Saturday Night Live, And if you do, it's hard
to stay with it more than ten minutes. It's just
not that funny anymore. But Saturday Night Live doing a
lot of jokes about about the election, about all that stuff. Opening,

(11:03):
you know, the opening sketch was really stupid. It was
You may have seen this incident in the White House.
They're having a little briefing in the White House with
the heads of the drug companies. They're going to make
those Osempic type drugs cheaper, make them available on medicare,
all these pharmaceutical types in the room, and a guy
collapses right in the Oval office. There's like all the

(11:25):
presses there, all these people. A guy just passed. We
didn't know if he had a heart attack or he
passed out or what. He just collapsed. And these guys
there are officials from these medical companies, pharmaceutical companies, so
he assume they know something medical. But they as he collapsed,
they put him on the ground and doctor Oz is
standing there. He's part of the briefing. As soon as

(11:47):
it happens, doctor Oz is right over there tending the guy.
So everybody gets out of the way and doctor Oz
is trying to help the guy. And the Saturday Night
Life opening sketch was about how Donald Trump is off
these some sort of psycho. He saw a man passing out.
He did nothing, He just stood there, which made no sense.
You got one of the greatest doctors on the face

(12:08):
of the earth, doctor Oz, right there. He runs over.
He's taking care of the guy. Would you jump in
and interfere with that? No, nobody would. Also, the White
House Medical Office is about forty seconds away. They threw
the press out of the room, so we didn't see
all of this. But the White House Medical Office is
a very very serious thing. It's got a bunch of
doctors nurses in there. They got all kinds of equipment.

(12:30):
It's pretty much like a little emergency room right in
the White House. But then Saturday Night Live opening sketch
is usually something you want to watch, and then after
that it's all downhill. Then they do that weekend update,
the fake news, the fake newscast they did go after
a well, now, listen to this. They talk about mom Donnie,

(12:51):
who watches Saturday Night Live, Who's in that audience, what
type of people take a listen. This will show you
exactly what type.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
On Tuesdays are on Mom. Donnie was acted mayor, he
was elected. Put a lot of sleeve offans. She was
elected mayor despite his opponent Andrew Cuomo, receiving endorsements from

(13:19):
Donald Trump and Eric Adams, which is like trying to
bring a girl home by saying, not to brag, but
I have hepatitis B and C.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
But listen to that ovation from Donnie winning and Cuomo.
You know, at the end of the year, which is
not that far away, I hate to say, but in
a month and a half. At the end of the year,
they always do that the winner of the year, loser
of the year. Usually you wait to see who who
will people pick? Well with loser of the year. You
don't have to wait for anything. It's obviously Andrew Cuomo

(13:49):
getting ridiculed on Saturday Night Live. Andrew Cuomo the loser
of the year. You know, if Curtis had not been
in the race, if there was no Curtis, it wouldn't
have helped Andrew Cuomo.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
All.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
In fact, at the very end, if you took every
Curtis voter and added it to Cuomo, he still lost
by a few points. And this is with every possible advantage,
everybody everywhere telling everybody to vote for Cloma the president, everybody.
Even with that, he couldn't win. And boy and Saturday

(14:20):
Night Live, they went after Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo spent the
last day before the election campaigning around the city and a.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
White Ford Bronco, which is what O. J. Simpson used
to get away from police. But at least oj was
ahead and the race for a while.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
So Cuomo was just getting ridiculed by everybody. Let's see
if he leaves New York City. He was always in Westchester,
his whole a doubt life Westchester. When it looked like
he wanted to run from mayor, he rented an apartment
in the city so he could be a New York
City resident during the campaign, but it's over now. Let's
see if he goes back to Westchester, where he goes. Hey,

(14:59):
we got a lot coming up. We'll get back to
Mom Donnie and what's next. There's some interesting developments there.
Who's in, who's out with Mom Donnie, and a whole
lot more to talk about. We'll take some calls next.
