1 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:28,199 Speaker 1: And hello everybody, Welcome to the Big Podcast. It is Thursday. 2 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,039 Today is the twenty eighth day of May. You're of 3 00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:36,000 our Lord twenty twenty six. My name is Tom Sullivan. 4 00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:41,479 Glad to have you come by. I I don't know 5 00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:48,479 what to say about this, but it is. I mean, 6 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,920 Wall Street has been suckered in so many times about 7 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,159 the President always saying, oh, yeah, we're very close, Oh 8 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,359 they want a deal, Oh we're about ready to do it, 9 00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:00,399 and everybody's kind of looked rolled their eyes. I think 10 00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:03,719 I rolled my eyes going how many times has he 11 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,120 said that we're oh, yeah, any any day now, we're 12 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,040 going to have an agreement. Well there may be an agreement, 13 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,599 but it looks like it's got Swiss cheese all over 14 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,719 it because they are mad. I mean it was. It 15 00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:26,400 came out about noon today Eastern time, and the report 16 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,879 coming from Axios. Brock Revied is the guy who broke 17 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,239 the story, and he's got good contacts, there's no question 18 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,680 about it. He has some inside sources. But the more 19 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,560 you look at this, the more you go this doesn't 20 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,560 look like what we were looking for when we started 21 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,079 the war back on February twenty eighth. They have and 22 00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:57,040 there was a huge hullabaloo about breaking news and all 23 00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:00,599 that sort of stuff, And I'm looking at it and going, Okay, 24 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,480 maybe this is a way an off ramp for everybody 25 00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:09,439 to get out of this war. But you listen to 26 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,199 the explanation that Barack Revide has and see if you 27 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,840 feel like this is really a breakthrough. 28 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: US and Iranian negotiators have reached a deal on a 29 00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:27,039 memorandum of understanding that will extend the ceasefire by sixty 30 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,479 days and launch negotiations direct negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. 31 00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:37,159 This I hear from two US officials and another regional 32 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:42,159 diplomat involved in the mediation efforts. The US officials told 33 00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:46,560 me that President Trump still hasn't gave the final sign 34 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:50,039 off on this deal. The US officials told me Trump 35 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,800 has relayed to the mediators and through the mediators to 36 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,479 the Iranians, that he wants quote a few days to 37 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,000 think about it. But US officials are optimistic that this 38 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,360 deal is likely to go through unless some surprising thing 39 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,879 happens over the next twenty four to forty eight hours. 40 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,479 This deal will basically include a statement by Iran that 41 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,680 it will not pursue new clue weapons and affirmative statement. 42 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,400 It will include a commitment by Iran to allow commercial 43 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,080 shipping through the Strait of Hormuz unrestricted, no tolls, no harassment. 44 00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:37,400 It will include a US commitment to negotiate over the 45 00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:42,439 lifting of sanctions and the unfreezing of Iranian funds abroad. 46 00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:46,639 It will include an Iranian commitment to negotiate on the 47 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,080 disposal of the highly enriched uranium Iran has and on 48 00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:56,800 the future of its uranium enrichment program. US officials also 49 00:03:56,919 --> 00:04:02,039 hope that some other articles in THEA, like a clause 50 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,680 that talks about committing to regional peace, will allow negotiations 51 00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:13,639 on Iran's support two proxies around the region. The deal 52 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:20,519 was concluded already on Tuesday night, and the Rangers needed 53 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,759 to run this through their system. They did on Wednesday. 54 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,959 They told the US that they're ready to sign. That's 55 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,680 what the message of the mediators gave the US, and 56 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,600 then President Trump told the mediators that he wants a 57 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,120 few more days to think about it. 58 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: So there's a lot in that that He kept referring 59 00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:43,199 to the fact that everybody has agreed to negotiate this 60 00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:49,480 negotiate that at first he said that the nuclear program, 61 00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:53,319 that they were willing to stop the nuclear program in Iran, 62 00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:57,399 but then the fact that they won't pursue the new program. 63 00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:01,439 But then later he said that they will negotiate the 64 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,800 nuclear program and negotiate the enriched uranium and that Nego 65 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,959 will negotiate the sanctions and a cease fire for sixty 66 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,439 days during that time they negotiate this. I heard a 67 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,639 lot of They're going to negotiate a lot of stuff. 68 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,279 So it seems to me like this is both parties 69 00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:25,879 looking for an off ramp to get out of this war. 70 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: Yes, I think basically the haggling over the language has 71 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,120 concluded has been concluded. Now it's up to President Trump 72 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,879 just to give the final sign off. We have to 73 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,160 understand this deal. What it does immediately is only an 74 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,879 extension of the ceasefire, the starting the process of reopening 75 00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:54,439 the street of Ormoves and launching negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. 76 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,040 This is a sort of This deal is sort of 77 00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:01,680 like a path that allows both sides to go into 78 00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:05,160 the room for direct negotiations on the issues that they 79 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,920 really care about, which is on the one hand, runs 80 00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:13,800 and Richmond program, And it's a highly enriched uranium stockpile, 81 00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:17,279 and on the other hand, US sanctions against Irandi. The 82 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,240 Iranians want to see lifted any runs frozen money, which 83 00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:25,360 is tens of billions of dollars in bank accounts around 84 00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:27,800 the world. So I think that this is sort of 85 00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:31,560 we need to look at this memorandum of understanding as 86 00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:36,920 a path for a more comprehensive deal. The negotiations will 87 00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:39,600 be sixty days. They will be able to both sides 88 00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:44,680 if they agree, they can extend it. But the practical 89 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,480 side of this memorandum of understanding is fairly limited. It's 90 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,519 extending the ceasefire and starting to starting to reopen the 91 00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:56,079 Strait of Hormuz and launching talks on the nuclear program 92 00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:01,399 regarding the Strait of Hormuz. According to the memorandov understanding, 93 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:08,759 within thirty days, Iran needs to remove all the minds 94 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,839 that it had deployed in the Strait of removes. The 95 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:16,160 faster the Iranians do that, the faster they take out 96 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:21,639 the mines, the faster that they stop restricting ships from moving, 97 00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:26,199 the faster that the US removes its own naval blockade 98 00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:29,360 that it has imposed on Iranian ports over the last 99 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,040 several weeks. US officials tell me that the more Iran does, 100 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,519 the more the US does. The faster Yuan does it, 101 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,879 the faster the US does it. 102 00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: This was the President yesterday at the Cabinet meeting, talking 103 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,399 about the fact that he's not in any hurry. Don't 104 00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:48,720 think that I'm rushed in doing this. I don't care 105 00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:50,399 about the midterms. Here's what he said. 106 00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:52,959 Speaker 3: They thought they were going to outwait me. You know, 107 00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:55,560 we'll outweait him. He's got the midterms. I don't care 108 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,800 about the midterms. So what happened last night I was 109 00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:01,279 the prelude to the midterms. People understand that they know 110 00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:05,079 that very simple, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I'm 111 00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:06,879 doing that for the world. I'm not doing it just 112 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:07,879 for us. 113 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,279 Speaker 2: Well, in the MoU, Iran will say it will commit 114 00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:14,560 not to have a nuclear weapon. 115 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,199 Speaker 3: That doesn't mean much. 116 00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:20,279 Speaker 2: Okay, The problem is not that Iran says that he 117 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,560 doesn't want to get a nuclear weapon. The problem is 118 00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:28,120 how to make sure that in practical means that it 119 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,839 doesn't have the practical means to do it, meaning it 120 00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:34,200 doesn't have an enrichment program and it doesn't have a 121 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,440 highly enriched uranium stock. Pile, and those things will not 122 00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:43,360 be solved in this specific memorandum of understanding, but this 123 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:48,159 memorandum understanding will open negotiations that will allow to maybe 124 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,440 reach a deal on those issues. And what I hear 125 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,559 from you as officials is that they think that very quickly, 126 00:08:56,039 --> 00:08:59,240 when they enter the negotiation room with the Iranians, they 127 00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:03,000 will know if they Iranians are serious in addressing the 128 00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:06,399 concerns about the nuclear program or not, and if they're not. 129 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,320 Those US officials told me we didn't really lose much 130 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,519 because we didn't give the Iranians anything other than a ceasefire, 131 00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:18,320 and therefore this thing can always be reversed if we 132 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,480 figure out that the Iranians are not serious. 133 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: Well, he's right, it could be reverse because there still 134 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:27,879 is a lot of negotiating to go. And then whoever 135 00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:30,200 he was talking to about the fat we didn't really 136 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,600 give up anything other than a ceasefire. And yeah, there's 137 00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:37,519 another sixty day cease fire after we've been in what 138 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,360 are we in week seven of the current ceasefire, So 139 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:45,639 it doesn't really change anything. And again the details unrestricted 140 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,840 straight up Hormuz shipping, no tolls. Iran removes the straight 141 00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:55,639 minds within thirty days, the naval blockade by the US 142 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,600 will be lifted with conditions whatever that is, and pledges 143 00:10:00,759 --> 00:10:04,200 no nuclear weapons. I'm sorry, I didn't mean the snicker. 144 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,159 They promised boys and girls that they won't do nukes. 145 00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:14,840 They lie through their teeth. These are evil people. They're 146 00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:18,000 the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world. And 147 00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:22,759 we're going, oh, okay, all right, so there's your update 148 00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:27,120 on the war and give it the president once a 149 00:10:27,159 --> 00:10:30,159 couple of days. I think they're going to sign this 150 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:36,519 thing and get into diplomatic pablem and and people will 151 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,399 move on to other things. But it's not it's kicking 152 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,320 the Iran problem. The kicking, kicking the can down the road. 153 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,919 The next president, the next generation Iran's not going to stop. 154 00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:54,360 They are wanting. That's their theocratic leaders. This is what 155 00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:57,639 they want to do. They want to build a nuke 156 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,440 and destroy Israel and the Great Satan, which would be us. 157 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,360 All right, what else have we got going here? Oh? 158 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,159 A little bit of New York City news for you. 159 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:16,679 First of all, the mayor of New York City, the 160 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:25,000 Democrat socialist, has been making mocking doing bits that air 161 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,440 on commercials that he runs about making fun of rich 162 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,559 people in New York City. And so today he got 163 00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:38,720 the New York City Council to pass a tax for 164 00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:42,919 people that have a second home in New York City. 165 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,480 Pierre de Taire there is what a lot of people 166 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,039 call him, that there's wealthy people from all over the 167 00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:53,279 world that keep an apartment here that they own, and 168 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,240 this is what they passed. And it just comes down to, 169 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,000 I know, there's a lot of people that for some reason, 170 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,320 and it's just jealousy, which is one of the old 171 00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:10,679 seven deadly sins. The people don't like rich people, whoever 172 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,240 they might be. But this targets people who have luxury 173 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,120 real estate in New York City. Now, during the first 174 00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:24,879 two years, the tax will be as follows. Condos. Now, 175 00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:29,240 this is supposed to be for properties second homes valued 176 00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:34,159 at five million or more. This is where once they 177 00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:38,200 cracked this open, it will be they will start taxing 178 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,600 people with homes less than five million. For example, it 179 00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:47,159 starts off that way. Condos and co ops valued between 180 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,240 one million and three million will be taxed at four percent. 181 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,559 Extra properties between three and five million five and a 182 00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:00,679 quarter percent tax. Over five million six and a half 183 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,480 percent tax. So it's a way where they will eventually 184 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,039 bring it down to where they're just going to raise 185 00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:12,080 the property taxes on everybody. So not only is that interesting, 186 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,120 but on the same exact day, I saw a story 187 00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:19,840 that I've been semi following for those of you in Florida. 188 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:23,600 Governor DeSantis one of the last things he wants to 189 00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:30,879 do is Florida to plan to increase the state's homestead exemption, 190 00:13:31,639 --> 00:13:36,600 which would eliminate property taxes for more than ninety percent 191 00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:43,240 of Florida residents who own their own homes. I know 192 00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:46,000 the wealthy well that will still pay their taxes, but 193 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:51,240 for ninety percent of Floridians it will reduce if the 194 00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:54,159 homestead exemption will go from fifty thousand to two hundred 195 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,519 and fifty thousand, and eventually double it to five hundred thousand. 196 00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:01,519 So if you've got a property that's worth five hundred 197 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,039 thousand or less, you're not going to pay any property taxes. 198 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,480 Why do you think people are leaving New York and 199 00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:13,039 going to Florida. Why do you think wealthy people that 200 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:17,600 have second homes here in New York are not going 201 00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:22,720 to invest and they're going to leave? And then people 202 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,919 around the world thinking about investing in New York. No, 203 00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:35,159 they'll go somewhere else. It's I don't understand somebody has 204 00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:38,200 a second home in New York City that's wealthy. They 205 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,919 don't use very many city services. They don't take the bus, 206 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,120 they don't use they just don't use a lot of 207 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,519 taxpayer paid services. Yeah, the sidewalks on the roads and 208 00:14:51,559 --> 00:14:55,240 all that sort of stuff. But they I don't know 209 00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:58,360 why you want to shoe wealthy people away. They pay 210 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:02,240 a lot of the bill. So that's out of New 211 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:09,080 York and in Florida. And another idea which came up, 212 00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:12,279 This is one that apparently Mark Wayne Mullen came up with. 213 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,960 And I like Mark Wayne Mullen. I know people make 214 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,159 fun of him. He's got a good old boy from 215 00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:21,799 Oklahoma City and he's but he's smart as a whip. 216 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,960 He has built up a bunch of businesses that are 217 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,600 very successful from scratch. This is a smart man. So 218 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,039 now that he's head a department of Homeland Security, he's 219 00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:41,120 trying to figure out what to do about about sanctuary 220 00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:44,799 cities and sanctuary states. So he came up with this 221 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,679 idea that they were going to take away customs and 222 00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:55,679 border patrol at international airports in Red States. Well, I 223 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,360 mean that's not going to build. No, that's not going 224 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:01,000 to happen. But if you think about it, the Red 225 00:16:01,039 --> 00:16:05,720 States West coast, your international flights that come in start 226 00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:11,720 up with Seattle, down to San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Oakland, 227 00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:16,879 all of those are international airports. Go to the Midwest, 228 00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:23,840 there's Chicago, Illinois, Nice, Sanctuary City and State. Go to 229 00:16:23,879 --> 00:16:29,799 the east coast, Boston, Massachusetts, of course, Sanctuary, JFK, Newark 230 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,919 in New York, BWI, Baltimore, Washington in Baltimore. All of 231 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:40,159 those are Blue states. And the hotel industry is going 232 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,519 crazy about this. The airlines. You want to put some 233 00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:49,320 more airlines out of business. That certainly hurt them because 234 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,080 they make most of their money on international flights. There's 235 00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:58,720 about somewhere around a million people a day that fly 236 00:16:58,879 --> 00:17:02,559 into our country from outside of the US, and that 237 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,079 means some US citizens returning, a bunch of foreign people 238 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,480 coming to the US for business or pleasure. But I 239 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,519 just what did the hotels, what did the airlines? What 240 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,519 did they do wrong? But they're the ones who are 241 00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:21,640 going to get punished. So I like Mark Wayne mullen. 242 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,519 But I got to tell you, this is not an 243 00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:28,000 idea that I am. I'm thinking, this doesn't make sense 244 00:17:28,039 --> 00:17:28,240 to me. 245 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 3: All right. 246 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,279 Speaker 1: Last night there was a big breaking news and a 247 00:17:34,279 --> 00:17:38,119 lot of the cable networks were breathless about it. How 248 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:45,519 the Department of Justice has started an investigation into e 249 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:53,039 Jean Carroll, the woman that sued successfully twice Donald Trump 250 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,359 for sexual abuse and she won I think eight million 251 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,279 and then another eighty million. And what the DOJ is doing? 252 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,240 At first, you go, oh, boy, there he goes, There 253 00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:10,279 goes Donald Trump. He's off on his on his retribution campaign. 254 00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:12,720 He said he was going to do retribution. But I 255 00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:21,400 mean you got Letitia James, James Comy twice, John Bolton Brennan, 256 00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:22,920 I mean you get on the list of there's a 257 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,039 whole bunch of people that he's going after. So you think, oh, 258 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,400 don't don't abuse the DOJ on something like this. So 259 00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:37,240 a lot of people on the left are absolutely disgusted. However, 260 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:45,279 David Urban is a big Republican guy, and he brought 261 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,240 up an interesting point and I wanted to play it 262 00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:50,000 for you because a lot of people are thinking, oh, 263 00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:54,759 Donald Trump and his retribution thing, doesn't sound good. But 264 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,359 here's David Urban with the other side of the story. 265 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,839 Speaker 4: I think that they've got a lot of things to 266 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,960 focus on. But I would just ask Norm. I'm not 267 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,519 sure the statute of limitations is on perjury, but did 268 00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:07,759 she perjure herself or not? 269 00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:08,079 Speaker 1: Norm? 270 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,599 Speaker 4: In this case, it seems to me she clearly perjured herself. 271 00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:13,480 You can ask your colleague who solicited her. I think 272 00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:18,880 your colleague at George Conway, who who your associate with 273 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,119 now solicited Ms Carroll to bring the suit and then 274 00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:25,079 help set her up with reed Hoffman. When she was 275 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,400 being deposed, she denied that she was, that she knew 276 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,359 that she was, or she didn't deny. She denied having 277 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,240 any funding for it, and then later admitted she she 278 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,440 was getting the third party funding for it. So I'm 279 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,799 not quite sure what's so outrageous about, you know, someone 280 00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:44,119 who persues himself in a very serious proceeding now being 281 00:19:44,519 --> 00:19:49,279 looked at by DOJ for a criminal price. Yeah, so 282 00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:51,640 so I'm happy to answer. Unlike Norm, I'm not gonna 283 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,200 filibuster you here. I don't think it's weird. I think 284 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,000 Norm loses all credibility when when he just can't admit 285 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,279 if somebody perjures himself. This wasn't a small thing about 286 00:20:00,319 --> 00:20:04,039 like it was a Tuesday versus a Wednesday. This was material. 287 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,119 You heard Ellie before say did she know it was false? Yes, 288 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,480 she knew was false. Wasn't material, Yes, she knew his material. 289 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,240 All these things are going to be proven out. Listen, 290 00:20:12,279 --> 00:20:16,640 it's who was funding your lawsuit? Who funded this? That's 291 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,319 not something that just just she forgot conveniently. So I 292 00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:23,920 don't think. But if those things are true, I'm not 293 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,759 quite sure why they weren't prosecuted before. 294 00:20:25,839 --> 00:20:27,039 Speaker 3: They should have been prosecuted. 295 00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 4: If you lie under oath in a deposition, the Department 296 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,119 of Justice will prosecute. Ask Mike Flynn, right, Ask Mike 297 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,960 Flynn about that, Ask you know, ask you know, uh, 298 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,599 numerous people who've gone to jail for perjury. 299 00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 3: It happens. 300 00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 4: Norm is being disingenuously because it doesn't admit in his 301 00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:48,720 thirty five years of being a criminal prosecutor, he hasn't 302 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,160 seen it happen. So do I think it's the best. 303 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: Preferring the Norm he was on opposite Norm Iisen, who's 304 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:01,880 a big left e Democrat lawyer. But David Urban has 305 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,640 a very good point. E. Gene Carroll was asked, do 306 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,920 you have any funding from anybody for this lawsuit that 307 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,480 you're bringing against Donald Trump? And she said no. And 308 00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:18,160 the answer is Reid Hoffman, who was a billionaire and 309 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,279 big lefty supports all kinds of democratic causes, and he 310 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:30,319 supported her bringing her lawsuit many many, many many years 311 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:36,920 before accusing Donald Trump of sexual assault. Reid Hoffman put 312 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,039 up the money so she could sue him, and she 313 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:46,279 was successful in the lawsuit twice for not for sexual assault, 314 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:52,480 but for disparaging her you know, defamation. That is what 315 00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:55,200 she claimed, and that is what the jury said. Yep, 316 00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:59,279 he depained you. So here's eighty eight million dollars. At 317 00:21:59,319 --> 00:22:02,759 most media went crazy because of the fact that Donald 318 00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:07,039 Trump is using the Department of Justice, they say, to 319 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,559 go after his enemies, anybody that he perceives has wronged him. 320 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,240 And so it was at first an eye roller, but 321 00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:22,599 then David Urban, smart guy, said, wait a minute, she lied, 322 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,000 And I think, sadly, I think people lie in court 323 00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:31,440 all the time, but nobody ever prosecutes them for it. 324 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,839 So if you're going to take on the president of 325 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,480 the United States, you better make sure that your ducks 326 00:22:39,559 --> 00:22:43,079 are lined up perfectly in a row. What's also fascinating 327 00:22:43,319 --> 00:22:47,599 is that you've got this billionaire Democrat who was willing 328 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,279 to put up a lot of money in order to 329 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,119 go after Donald Trump. They hate him so much. He 330 00:22:55,279 --> 00:22:59,279 was willing to fund this woman's lawsuit about an accusation 331 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,279 that took place decades before. Now the other side of this, 332 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,640 Elliott Williams, former federal prosecutor. He was asked about it, 333 00:23:08,319 --> 00:23:11,480 and he says, this case probably won't go anywhere. 334 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 5: It's very low to launch an investigation, and I wouldn't 335 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,480 even use the term launch, I would say open an investigation. 336 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:21,319 They simply have to have even just an inference that 337 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,480 some criminal activity has happened. Now, again, that's just the 338 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,119 preliminary step. We're not talking about charges here, or indictments 339 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,680 or grand juries. They can open an investigation into anything, 340 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,559 and quite frankly, this Justice Department has made clear that 341 00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:36,640 they're willing to do so in what's say abusive manner 342 00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:39,319 for people that are opponents of the president. 343 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: So the question was asked, is there anything that E. 344 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,000 Gene Carroll can do at this point? 345 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 5: Well, at the moment, really none, only because you know 346 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,920 what we have is reporting from CNN that an investigation 347 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,680 has been open. Now, if in fact she ends up 348 00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:58,400 charged or induided with the crime, she can certainly move 349 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,640 to dismiss that on the basis that one she can 350 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,359 say that it's political prosecution and as others have done 351 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,480 with respect to this Justice Department as president, but also 352 00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:11,319 that the evidence is Then the mere fact that there 353 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,279 is a false statement made is not itself enough to 354 00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:18,119 sustain a perjury conviction. Does Justice Vart would have to 355 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,279 prove that she knowingly made the statement with an intended deceive, 356 00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:23,240 And she may just come into court right when that 357 00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:25,519 indictment is filed and say that, look, this indictment is 358 00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:28,119 so thin and on such shaky ground, your honor, that 359 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,119 it ought to be dismissed. 360 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: So it's probably not going anywhere. But I thought it 361 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,400 was interesting because everybody was apoplectic about the fact that 362 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:40,279 the president's using the DOJ to go after Ejen Carroll, 363 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:46,079 and yet she apparently lied about the fact that nobody 364 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,279 funded her lawsuit. I still am blown away by the 365 00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:51,599 fact that there are billionaires willing to put on or 366 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,160 they're saying you, if you've got something that you can sue. 367 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:59,279 Donald Trump on I'll pay for your lawyers centrally. What happened? 368 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:06,240 We got some economic news out today, the whole slug 369 00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:10,079 of different stuff that I've talked about this before, the PCE. 370 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:16,000 The Personal Consumption Expenditure Index. I know, it's a mouthful. 371 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,519 It's one that Alan Greenspan identified many years ago and 372 00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:24,559 it has stayed as one of the favorite indexes that 373 00:25:24,599 --> 00:25:29,200 the FED uses to judge inflation because it's about not 374 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:35,319 a basket of consumer price index that has all kinds 375 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,759 of things in it, this is personal consumption things that 376 00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:44,000 you actually buy. Well for the month of April, guess what, 377 00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:50,119 up three point eight percent year over year. Three point 378 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,960 eight that's the highest inflation rate on this index in 379 00:25:55,039 --> 00:25:58,720 three years. A year ago it was two point three. 380 00:25:58,839 --> 00:26:01,839 Now it's three point eight, so it's up one and 381 00:26:01,839 --> 00:26:05,400 a half percent in one year. The core was up 382 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:11,000 three point three percent. Another report out about I'll give 383 00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:13,799 this to you, durable good orders were up seven point 384 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,759 nine percent. That sounds great, except for durable goods are 385 00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:25,440 things that are supposed to last three years or longer. Washers, dryers, refrigerators, airplanes. 386 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,960 So if Boeing sells a bunch of airplanes, it distorts 387 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,359 this up a bunch, So that's it's interesting, but I 388 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,200 don't put a lot of weight into it. First time 389 00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:41,599 jobless claims last week two hundred and fifteen thousand. It's 390 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,759 about where it's been now for weeks. 391 00:26:43,799 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 3: On end. 392 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: Personal income was expected to go up. It did not. 393 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:56,680 It did not go down either, remained unchanged, and that 394 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,720 is a negative because costs are going up but income 395 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:08,079 not going up. Personal spending was up a half a 396 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:13,440 percent in April. The savings rate for people, how much 397 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,640 of the paycheck did they save two point six percent? 398 00:27:17,319 --> 00:27:22,920 That very close to historical lows. New home sales down 399 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,640 six point two percent, meeting in price of a new 400 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:33,400 home four hundred and twenty two thousand dollars. So we've 401 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:39,480 also got kind of a weird story from from CBS. 402 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,799 I think it was on their Sunday morning program and 403 00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:46,160 it's getting a lot of publicity. Jill Biden, doctor Jill sorry, 404 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,559 was being interviewed and was asked about what did you 405 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,000 think when you saw your husband on the debate stage 406 00:27:56,079 --> 00:28:01,319 with Donald Trump and he had that meltdown? What were 407 00:28:01,319 --> 00:28:04,440 you thinking? And her answer is getting a lot of 408 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,160 pushback here. 409 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,079 Speaker 6: It is were you horrified as you saw it unfold. 410 00:28:10,279 --> 00:28:14,480 I wasn't horrified. I was frightened because I had never 411 00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:23,079 ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never since, yes, 412 00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:25,160 or never seen him never? 413 00:28:25,759 --> 00:28:27,759 Speaker 3: No, why happened. 414 00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:30,279 Speaker 6: I don't know what happened. I mean when as I 415 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,279 watched it, I thought, oh my god, he's having a 416 00:28:32,319 --> 00:28:35,119 stroke and it scared me to death. 417 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,279 Speaker 1: So a lot of people, even the reporter at CBS said, 418 00:28:38,359 --> 00:28:43,000 you've never seen since, because all of us saw that 419 00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:48,119 he was having problems way before the debate and certainly afterward. 420 00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:55,039 So either Jill is like the blind wife that ignores reality, 421 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,960 or she's just covering up she doesn't want to admit it. 422 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:06,200 But Alex Thompson, he and Jake Tapper interviewed over two 423 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:11,519 hundred people that worked at the White House about Joe 424 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,200 after the election, was after Donald Trump was reelected, and 425 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,400 they came out with this book, so they have a 426 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,000 lot of sources about people who talked about what they 427 00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:24,480 saw with Joe Biden. So Alex Thompson was the co 428 00:29:24,559 --> 00:29:26,079 author along with Jake Tapper. 429 00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:28,319 Speaker 3: Here's Alex Well. 430 00:29:28,359 --> 00:29:30,599 Speaker 7: She says that she's never seen him act that way 431 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,759 before since, But in the interviews, that over two hundred 432 00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:36,759 of which that Jake and I did. Other people did 433 00:29:36,839 --> 00:29:39,720 see him act like that in the months before and 434 00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:44,559 in the months after that, and those moments became increasingly 435 00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:48,200 hard to predict, and the White House was increasingly trying 436 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,440 to manage them to keep those moments out of public view, 437 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,839 and eventually, you know, during the debate they could no 438 00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,160 longer hide those moments from the public. I'd also say 439 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,359 that what she just said there is very much at 440 00:30:02,359 --> 00:30:07,039 odds with what many of Biden's top aides said at 441 00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:09,519 the time and have said, you know since the twenty 442 00:30:09,519 --> 00:30:11,559 twenty four election, which is they didn't think they was 443 00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:15,039 that bad, and they think they thought the Democratic Party 444 00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:17,880 way overreacted. They certainly didn't think that he was having 445 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,599 a stroke at the time, and they thought it was 446 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,039 you know, he was clearly trying to say big pharma 447 00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:28,640 and instead of beat medicare, and that this was a whole, 448 00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:32,119 you know, tempest in a teapot overreaction. But Jill Biden 449 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,480 is now saying that at the time, when she was watching, 450 00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:36,960 she thought her husband, the Prais of the United States, 451 00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:41,200 was having a stroke. And then also later that night 452 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,200 spoke at a rally in which she praised his performance, 453 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,880 then also did an event right afterward at a restaurant, 454 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,880 and then also let him go into a rally the 455 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,079 next day in North Carolina. That seems to be a 456 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,640 little bit at odds with her level of worry. 457 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe there's a human condition where 458 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,319 we absolutely do not want to wreckon eyes something that's 459 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,799 clearly in front of us. His staff that thought that 460 00:31:03,839 --> 00:31:06,240 it was way overblown and wasn't that big of a deal. 461 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,319 Oh it was a big deal. It was a shocker 462 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,119 for anybody who saw it. If you saw it, you remember. 463 00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:15,200 And I still think that doctor Jill was the one 464 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,319 who tried to keep him in for her own grandeur, 465 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,880 and as a result, he stayed in too long, did 466 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,960 not give the Democrats a chance to have primaries. The 467 00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:30,200 appointed Kamala Harris, and well we know that that turned 468 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,559 out to be a disaster. So Jamie Gangal, she's been 469 00:31:33,799 --> 00:31:37,680 a correspondent with She was of NBC for a long time. 470 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,960 She's now with CNN, and this is her reaction to 471 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:41,559 doctor Jill. 472 00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 8: A couple of things. It is true that that debate 473 00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:50,319 moment was striking. We have never seen anything like that before, 474 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,839 but it wasn't in a vacuum. We had all been 475 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,680 watching Joe Biden for quite some time in public, not 476 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:05,640 looking his age, not looking quite right. The other thing 477 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,319 that I find interesting, just to go back in time, 478 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:13,240 is the Sunday after this, you'll tell me the event 479 00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:17,240 the family, the Biden family gets together, and there's a 480 00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:20,119 lot of talk in the party that Biden is going 481 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,960 to step aside and drop out, and instead they come 482 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,039 out and they say he's staying in. So it's again 483 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,480 hard to match her reaction to that to the fact 484 00:32:33,519 --> 00:32:34,680 that they then stayed in. 485 00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: So part of the whole interview was because doctor Jill 486 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,359 has a book coming out, and so it was a 487 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,440 promotion effort on her part. It's sad to see because 488 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,759 I think we all saw it with our own eyes 489 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:54,839 what actually happened. All right, one more little bit. The 490 00:32:54,880 --> 00:33:01,400 President said that he is thinking about coming to a 491 00:33:01,519 --> 00:33:05,279 game at the garden at Madison Square Garden. The Knits 492 00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:09,839 are in the NBA playoffs for the first time, well 493 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,319 since nineteen ninety nine they were in the playoffs. The 494 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,640 last time they won was in nineteen seventy three. So 495 00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:18,559 the President said he wants to he's thinking about coming 496 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,799 to Madison Square Garden for one of the games. And 497 00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:25,680 the problem with the garden is there's no luxury skybox. 498 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,640 They're just out there, so security wise, it's going to 499 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,960 be something else. But he's still I know he moved 500 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,359 to Florida, but he's still in New Yorker. And this 501 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,839 is what he said at the cabinet meeting yesterday. 502 00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:39,759 Speaker 3: I think I'll be going to one of the games. 503 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,200 I was invited by numerous people and Jim and I 504 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:44,880 think I'll be gone. 505 00:33:45,079 --> 00:33:48,839 Speaker 1: Well if he does go, I mean, he got a 506 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,559 lot of rave reviews about the fact that he got 507 00:33:51,599 --> 00:33:53,920 like thirty some percent of the vote from New York, 508 00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:59,440 which obviously Kamala Harris won New York by a big margin, 509 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,759 but that was much better than any Republican has done 510 00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:06,319 in a long time. But still most New Yorkers they 511 00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:08,400 don't like him. So I'm thinking, if he's going to go, 512 00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:12,519 I'm presuming there will be a bunch of bronx cheers, 513 00:34:12,519 --> 00:34:14,440 if you will, in other words, a bunch of booze. 514 00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:20,039 So they asked the Governor, Kathy Hokel about this, and 515 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,239 she tried. 516 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 9: Etaner, what do you make of President Tom Wane to 517 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,800 come to Gay Finals and the Nicks are possibly playing, 518 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:28,840 Do you think you could go? 519 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 10: And you would also say hun no. 520 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 9: What do you think of Keim saying he's a night 521 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,840 of a lifelong nient. I think that's how the Times 522 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,440 subborted it. 523 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,079 Speaker 10: I asked him to name the starting lineup from nineteen 524 00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:42,440 ninety three championship team and see how he does. If 525 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,400 the President wants to come to a championship game in 526 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,639 New York City, I suspect he'll also be a World 527 00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:52,519 Cup events. I mean he comes to the fights. It 528 00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:54,360 doesn't affect what I do. My job is a Keith 529 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,159 New Yorker is safe and you know, celebrates the extraordinary 530 00:34:58,159 --> 00:34:59,679 teams that we are blessed to have and here in 531 00:34:59,679 --> 00:35:02,159 the city on New York. So I don't see any 532 00:35:02,159 --> 00:35:03,039 problem with him coming. 533 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: She referred to the nineteen ninety three championship team. Problem 534 00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:10,400 is nineteen ninety three. It was the Chicago Bulls versus 535 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,440 the Phoenix Suns. Michael Jordan was still playing for Chicago, 536 00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:19,280 Charles Barkley was still playing for Phoenix. That was nineteen 537 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,239 ninety three, and Chicago won the championship that year. Last 538 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:28,199 time the Knicks won the championship was in nineteen seventy three. 539 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,440 They beat the Los Angeles Lakers.
