Speaker 1: Welcome to the five o'clock show. It's time for common sense.
Speaker 1: Now it's Kats and Gosby with John Kassimatids and Rita
Speaker 1: Gosby standing for truth, justice and the American Way bringing
Speaker 1: common sense to the world. Now here's John Katsimatidis and
Speaker 1: Rita Gosby breaking news w ABC.
Speaker 2: Well, what's going on with the Pierre de Care text
Speaker 2: and the renfreeze.
Speaker 3: There's some interesting stuff with the renfreeze case?
Speaker 2: Right and uh, right now they're trying to shake it up.
Speaker 2: And who's winning, who's losing?
Speaker 3: Rita, Well, I think, uh, Staten Island, it's getting moved.
Speaker 3: I think, bottom line, yes, because I hate to say it.
Speaker 3: The whole process has become so political and that's not
Speaker 3: the way it should go. And we've got two very
Speaker 3: smart attorneys and well dressed ones by the way, in
Speaker 3: the studio with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very well dressed Judge Richard Weinberg, very well dressed
Speaker 2: on the phone, have another attorney and an accountant and
Speaker 2: the borough president.
Speaker 3: We love him, Vito Facella, of course of Staten Island. Vito,
Speaker 3: will you fill us in on this big decision? Essentially
Speaker 3: what being moved suggested you should be moved out of
Speaker 3: Staten Island.
Speaker 4: First off, I'm not well dressed.
Speaker 3: Well, then we gotta go. I only talk to well
Speaker 3: on the radio. I only talk to well dressed men.
Speaker 5: Veto I'll take you across the street, I'll got you suited.
Speaker 2: Up, no problem.
Speaker 4: I can never compete with these judge. So yeah, this
Speaker 4: is one of those just it's you know, there's a
Speaker 4: challenge as a problem. Uh you know, free groceries, free this,
Speaker 4: free that, And unfortunately, long term you're right, Rita, people
Speaker 4: are going to lose because the socialist approach to rising
Speaker 4: rents is to freeze them. And that's what with the
Speaker 4: rent Guidelines Board that froze for the first time ever,
Speaker 4: if I'm not mistaken, two year leases as in addition
Speaker 4: to one yearlyase, so zero and zero rent increases. And
Speaker 4: I know that sounds great if you're paying rent, you
Speaker 4: don't want to increases. But long term, if you want
Speaker 4: of those owners and need to make improvements to the
Speaker 4: house or the apartment, the chance of you doing it
Speaker 4: gets less and less over time, and therefore people are
Speaker 4: not going to make the investments that they should. And
Speaker 4: what happened was a bunch of owners of people who
Speaker 4: are going to get part of my expression screwed over
Speaker 4: the long haul by.
Speaker 3: This we understand that by the way, we understand that, yes,
Speaker 3: very important go ahead.
Speaker 4: So a case is brought in Staten Island, which I
Speaker 4: think has about eight thousand rent stabilized and this only
Speaker 4: applies to rent stabilized apartments, is about a million throughout
Speaker 4: the city to sizeable represent maybe a two billion people.
Speaker 4: It was brought in Staten isl and the judge today
Speaker 4: ruled that the venue was not to be Richmond County
Speaker 4: but Manhattan because that's where the process and the decision
Speaker 4: was made, and the Article seventy eighth that was brought
Speaker 4: was still advance. I think the facts still very strong
Speaker 4: for the people bringing this case and the law. But
Speaker 4: most importantly this folks should get the impression what's happening
Speaker 4: once again with the city instead of doing more of
Speaker 4: the free market approach to solving problems, is embracing a
Speaker 4: socialist model that sounds perhaps attractive on its face, but
Speaker 4: long term is a disaster.
Speaker 3: So Judge Weinberg, essentially the judge is saying, right, it
Speaker 3: should be moved to Manhattan. Now here's I'm just speaking
Speaker 3: as a layman I'm not speaking as an attorney. It
Speaker 3: sounds to me like that's good news for the Mundani
Speaker 3: administration because they'll get a more favorable judge than if
Speaker 3: they were in Staten Island.
Speaker 5: The assumption on the Mayor's office and Corporation Council is
Speaker 5: exactly that they'll have a more favorable judge who will
Speaker 5: lean more ideal logically in their direction than in State NA.
Speaker 5: That's why they did it, and of the factor of matter,
Speaker 5: that's very regrettable that you have to worry about where
Speaker 5: case is brought and worry about the disposition of the
Speaker 5: case based on a concern about the bias of a judge.
Speaker 5: That's a terrible thing to people's faith in judicial system.
Speaker 5: I think it's outrageous.
Speaker 2: The fact of the.
Speaker 5: Matter is Veto is right. Economically, this is a disaster.
Speaker 5: You're gonna have less housing, people are going to abandon
Speaker 5: their properties. Rent's going to go up, rent controls, rent
Speaker 5: regulations never work. A freeze will be a disaster. Buildings
Speaker 5: won't be maintained, people will lose housing opportunities. It was
Speaker 5: a stupid thing to do, but they did it because
Speaker 5: of ideology. Hopefully the judge's assigned to in Manhattan will
Speaker 5: have enough frames to understand the economics and the unfairness
Speaker 5: and the bias of the decision of the so called
Speaker 5: rent Guidelines Board, which was packed by this mayor. It
Speaker 5: was a packed decision where they ignored the economic data.
Speaker 4: Way, judge, the Guidelines Board is supposed to be independual.
Speaker 4: They're supposed to analyze the economic data. And part of
Speaker 4: my favorite expression that John has expressed repeatedly and all
Speaker 4: of you do is common sense. If you own a
Speaker 4: piece of property and you're making ten dollars, but over
Speaker 4: time you're losing nine to eight, seven, six, down to one,
Speaker 4: at what point do you just walk away. We're saying
Speaker 4: I'm going to sell this and get out of town
Speaker 4: because I'm actually losing money on the property that I own,
Speaker 4: And common sense has a back and forth, and the
Speaker 4: Guidelines Board is supposed to assess it independently. But to
Speaker 4: your point, Judge, it was a political ram job that
Speaker 4: basically said you're out with freezing the rents, and I'm
Speaker 4: the messiah.
Speaker 2: I think somehow they have to get it into federal court,
Speaker 2: and I don't know how because I'm the only non
Speaker 2: lawyer here. I'm me and rita ed.
Speaker 6: Is there any federal issue that I think the change
Speaker 6: to Manhattan and to a more liberal judge is very
Speaker 6: important because they'll turn on the facts. Was the rent
Speaker 6: board fixed or not? And did they actually consider the
Speaker 6: facts of the case or did they just do what.
Speaker 2: Then I'll tell you the truth. I think I would
Speaker 2: go to the US Attorney and say, you decide if
Speaker 2: this this is fixed or not. I think this is
Speaker 2: You know, the fact that New York creates their own
Speaker 2: law is all a bunch of crap. And I think
Speaker 2: that the US Attorney is going to be tough enough.
Speaker 2: President Trump he called me this morning. I was on
Speaker 2: the phone with him this morning, and he loves New York.
Speaker 2: He specifically said that, and he wants a couple of
Speaker 2: US New Yorkers to go and have dinner with him
Speaker 2: and talk about New York and how we fix it.
Speaker 6: The way you fix it is through at this point
Speaker 6: in November, elect a Republican.
Speaker 2: Yes, but he wants to do what he can do
Speaker 2: to make sure that things are good for New York.
Speaker 6: Well understood, he loves New York, he loves the or
Speaker 6: here right, go ahead, veto Well.
Speaker 4: If anybody understands the dynamics and economics of real estate.
Speaker 4: It's President Trump as well as John, and you cannot
Speaker 4: it's unsustainable to be able to do this. And don't
Speaker 4: forget as a part of it is you're a alluding
Speaker 4: to this was a campaign promise made last year. We
Speaker 4: will freeze your rents. But reality is it's supposed to
Speaker 4: be an independent decision by the board. But when you
Speaker 4: stack the board with your own appointees and either wink
Speaker 4: wink or tell them you see who you've been raised
Speaker 4: the rest at all. That's not right.
Speaker 5: Okay, last point on this street, Veto. The problem is
Speaker 5: you have an administration that's dedicated that personal property, real
Speaker 5: property is onerous, it's awful, it's a bad thing. They
Speaker 5: want to seize property. They're against private property. If you
Speaker 5: understand that, you understand the people who are around Mondami,
Speaker 5: that's what they want to do. They want to grab it,
Speaker 5: and this is their excuse to grab property.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is it, Veto, thank you so much. Keep
Speaker 3: us posted because I'm sure this is far from the
Speaker 3: last word on it. Bedo, thank you so much. And John,
Speaker 3: I understand we have somebody calling in right now, laras
Speaker 3: in why you started.
Speaker 7: And joining us now here on Kats and Cosby is
Speaker 7: Lara Trump, of course, the great host of My View
Speaker 7: with Laura Trump on Saturdays at nine pm on Fox.
Speaker 7: John watches the rerun at three o'clock. It still counts
Speaker 7: towards the ratings, which we love Laura and Lara. So
Speaker 7: this week, I know you haven't nas canter freedom. We're
Speaker 7: going to get to that in a moment, But first
Speaker 7: in Florida. I can't believe that a DSA, a full
Speaker 7: blown DSA radical, is now running for US Senate in
Speaker 7: Florida against Ashley Moody.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well that tell you really how seriously I think
Speaker 8: people need to be taking these midterms, because at one
Speaker 8: time we kind of joked about these people. We didn't
Speaker 8: take them seriously. We kind of said, well, no one
Speaker 8: will ultimately vote for them. And to your point, Hrita,
Speaker 8: she is actually running as a Democrat Senate candidate in Florida.
Speaker 8: People think of Florida, they think bright red, they think
Speaker 8: there's no way this can happen here. But it shows
Speaker 8: you that all across the country, these people are picking
Speaker 8: up steam and gaining momentum. And it's up to us
Speaker 8: as Republicans to shine a light on not only what
Speaker 8: they want to do for our country, but I think
Speaker 8: we need to be cheerleaders for the accomplishments Republicans have
Speaker 8: had in the past several years, especially with Donald Trump
Speaker 8: back in the White House. You turn on the TV
Speaker 8: every day and you don't get a sense of exactly
Speaker 8: what has happened, but whether it's the largest tax cuts
Speaker 8: in American history, no tax on tips, overtime social security,
Speaker 8: securing our border, bringing manufacturing back, leveling the playing field
Speaker 8: when it comes to trade, all of these great things
Speaker 8: that have happened for America. We've got to talk about
Speaker 8: them because we cannot allow these lunatics to actually make
Speaker 8: it to Capitol Hill. Imagine they get a foothold, they
Speaker 8: get a majority. It is just going to spell disaster
Speaker 8: for the United States. On my show this weekend, as
Speaker 8: well as ans cancer freedom, I have who I believe
Speaker 8: will be our next governor here the great state of Florida.
Speaker 8: I have Byron donald On and he obviously just won
Speaker 8: and he will be on the ticket this November for Floridians.
Speaker 8: He's got big shoots to fill. Ron De Santis has
Speaker 8: done an incredible job as our Florida governor, and he's
Speaker 8: got a lot of thoughts about exactly that and why
Speaker 8: people in Florida cannot take our great state being read
Speaker 8: for granted.
Speaker 2: Tell us, you know, we saw what happened in Florida,
Speaker 2: and I was told we had a Democrat on and
Speaker 2: I asked him what happened in Florida and he says
Speaker 2: that the opponent that Nixon had at thirteen million dollars
Speaker 2: in the bank and I only spent three or four
Speaker 2: looking forward to keeping the rest of the money, and
Speaker 2: they screwed up. And that's the reason that the Nixon won.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Yeah.
Speaker 8: I mean that could be part of it. Look, I
Speaker 8: think money really does play a big factor in these races,
Speaker 8: and that's why I think. You look at what the
Speaker 8: RNC has under their belt right now, what the DNC
Speaker 8: has in the bank, and it's completely different. You have
Speaker 8: the RNC with about one hundred and thirty million dollars
Speaker 8: cash on hand, that's going to be huge. You contrast that, John,
Speaker 8: with what the DNC has going on. They just had
Speaker 8: to leverage their building in Washington, DC to take out
Speaker 8: a fifteen million dollars long there's still three million dollars
Speaker 8: in debt right now, they're in dire straits, they're in shambles.
Speaker 8: It kind of shows you how the American people feel
Speaker 8: when you look at the money that's been donated to
Speaker 8: these two different entities. But money does make a difference,
Speaker 8: and that's why the audience listening right now. From now
Speaker 8: until November, guys, you're going to see all of these
Speaker 8: advertisements out there for these candidates locally, you know, in
Speaker 8: your state, in your district. Make sure you're supporting the
Speaker 8: people you want to see in that way, in the
Speaker 8: in the capital, supporting the president in the White House,
Speaker 8: because honestly, these things will really matter two years. Donald
Speaker 8: Trump has left after this mid term election, and if
Speaker 8: you allow these radicals to take over, if you allow
Speaker 8: the Democrats to become them, we know they're just going
Speaker 8: to go after the president. It's going to be impeachment
Speaker 8: nonsense and all of it.
Speaker 2: So, Laura, the most important thing you said that the
Speaker 2: American people are starting to get the pulse that the
Speaker 2: Democrats have lost their mind.
Speaker 8: Well, that's exactly right. I mean, you can't spend it
Speaker 8: any other way.
Speaker 9: That's the reality of the situation.
Speaker 8: And I think we need to be sure we highlight
Speaker 8: that I think, you know the problem is that it's
Speaker 8: easy to write these people off as just being totally crazy.
Speaker 8: But then when they start winning these primaries and they
Speaker 8: are actually on the ticket this November, this is when
Speaker 8: we have to take it seriously. But the Democrats really
Speaker 8: backed themselves in this corner because they allowed the momentum
Speaker 8: to completely slip away from themselves. They put all their
Speaker 8: eggs and they hate Donald Trump and anti Donald Trump basket.
Speaker 8: They had Joe Biden as the leader of their party
Speaker 8: for four years who was a completely empty suit and
Speaker 8: did absolutely nothing, and they allowed for these socialists to
Speaker 8: basically slip in the back door and take things over,
Speaker 8: and now they're in a situation where it seems like
Speaker 8: their party is split to a certain extent. The bottom
Speaker 8: line here for the American people is whether we're talking
Speaker 8: about the moderate Democrats or whether we're talking about these
Speaker 8: socialists that are trying to take over, neither of those
Speaker 8: two groups are going to do what the American people want.
Speaker 8: The only group that actually will will be the Republicans
Speaker 8: come this November.
Speaker 7: And Laura, one of the things, as while as we're
Speaker 7: talking about this Florida race, this woman Angie Nixon actually
Speaker 7: came out and say I played it on my show
Speaker 7: where she came out and she said that it's told
Speaker 7: some fun to take her kids to drag shows. I
Speaker 7: don't know how older her kids are, if they're kindergarten
Speaker 7: or high school, but to me to take your kids
Speaker 7: and it's okay to take your kids to drag shows.
Speaker 7: That leads in perfectly because you I love this A
Speaker 7: nas Cantor Freedom, who of course made huge headlines when
Speaker 7: he said he's to try out forthy WNBA. He's of
Speaker 7: course an NBA star. Talk about this sort of this
Speaker 7: whole craziness. If you go to the public, the American
Speaker 7: public overwhelmingly says no, there shouldn't be guys in girls' sports.
Speaker 7: So talk about this weekend and also this craziness of
Speaker 7: the DSA.
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, I mean, we have to protect
Speaker 8: our kids first and foremost, and kids grow up fast
Speaker 8: en us as it is. To infuse all of this
Speaker 8: sort of gender theory and all the crazy nonsense in
Speaker 8: school curriculums, and then to expose them to drag shows
Speaker 8: and all of this stuff. It's just that kids should
Speaker 8: never be exposed to these things. It's why you know,
Speaker 8: here in Florida, one of the things Byron Donald talks
Speaker 8: about is ensuring that the parents are in charge of
Speaker 8: their child's education. It couldn't be more important than in
Speaker 8: a moment like right now. But to your point about
Speaker 8: and that's in what he's doing, we have seen just
Speaker 8: how crazy things have gotten. The common sense has completely
Speaker 8: left the picture when it comes to the left, because
Speaker 8: you have within the rules of the WNBA a very
Speaker 8: specific statement that says only women are allowed to participate
Speaker 8: and be players in the WNBA. They fail, though, guys,
Speaker 8: to define what a woman is. Where have we heard
Speaker 8: that before? One of our Supreme Court justices can't even
Speaker 8: do it. And so because of that, they left this
Speaker 8: window open to allow, as you just said, Rita, men
Speaker 8: to compete against women in these WNBA games. And because
Speaker 8: it has become such a hot button topic, and that said,
Speaker 8: you know what, just to prove what would happen if
Speaker 8: men were allowed to compete in this sport, I will
Speaker 8: put myself forward as a WNBA draft pick in twenty
Speaker 8: twenty seven. So I sat down with him yesterday. It's
Speaker 8: going to be on the show Saturday night. We talk
Speaker 8: about all of it. The people he's also talked to
Speaker 8: who are former professional basketball players who want to join
Speaker 8: him in this pursuit. His message to the WNBA, and
Speaker 8: then he and I may or may not have played
Speaker 8: a little game of one on one, and I'll let
Speaker 8: you decide who is the triumphant person on the other side.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for calling in, miss Friday. Friday.
Speaker 2: But you know what I looked forward to Friday. I
Speaker 2: get to listen to you and see you and talk
Speaker 2: to you on Saturday too.
Speaker 8: All right, welky everybody there Tomorrow night, nine pm. Fox News.
Speaker 3: Thank you, guys, thank you.
Speaker 10: Thank you.
Speaker 7: We're going to check out your dribble, Laura. We're going
Speaker 7: to check it out.
Speaker 3: Okay, I've news WABC and a big Supreme Court decision
Speaker 3: in favor of President Trump about the White House Ballroom.
Speaker 3: So let's see where this is going. It sounds like
Speaker 3: he can continue construction. I just saw today that it's
Speaker 3: about sixty five percent done, and that includes some stuff
Speaker 3: on the bottom two of course beneath it. So let's
Speaker 3: go who better than Professor Alan Dershwitz. Professor Dershowitz, your
Speaker 3: reaction to the Supreme Court decision and what does this
Speaker 3: mean good news, right.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but before we get there, I want to be
Speaker 10: included in that one on one basketball game.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 10: I played in Madison Square Garden. I guarded a kid
Speaker 10: named Ralphy Lipshitz. He changes name to Ralph Lauren, by
Speaker 10: the way.
Speaker 3: I don't blame him for changing the name.
Speaker 10: Well, but I played so I had a pretty good
Speaker 10: jump shot from the corner. And when I was eighty
Speaker 10: five years old, I'm going to be eighty eight next week.
Speaker 10: When I was eighty five, I played against my varsity athlete,
Speaker 10: grandson Horse.
Speaker 9: And I beat him.
Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, wait, we need an apply.
Speaker 10: Beat off the ground.
Speaker 3: And professor, professor, hold on. It doesn't matter how many
Speaker 3: decades did as ago. Here's here's you, here's to you
Speaker 3: years ago. Bravo, bravo.
Speaker 10: I wasn't as good as I remember being, but I
Speaker 10: was a pretty good basketball player in any event. This
Speaker 10: Supreme Court case, of course, when you have the Chief
Speaker 10: Justice issuing an order like this, it's most likely that
Speaker 10: he circulated it to the justices before he issued it,
Speaker 10: and probably he has a majority on his side. Look
Speaker 10: of all the dumb things that courts have done, because
Speaker 10: so many judges are afflicted with TDS Trump Derangement syndrome.
Speaker 10: Of all the dumb things that they've done, this has
Speaker 10: to be the dumbest to try to hold up the building.
Speaker 10: To keep a hole the size of you know, half
Speaker 10: of our cities, keep a hole in the ground, course
Speaker 10: in the taxpayer's money, causing even considerably greater damage, is
Speaker 10: the dumbest thing any court has ever done. And I
Speaker 10: think the Supreme Court will, I hope, unanimously say to
Speaker 10: the judicial, to the judges, you're supposed to be the
Speaker 10: leaf dangerous brands, the leaf activist branch. You're not supposed
Speaker 10: to interfere with presidents who want to make the White
Speaker 10: House the most beautiful capital building for a president in
Speaker 10: the world. President Trump is entitled to do that, just
Speaker 10: like President Truman was entitled, President Jefferson was entitled. All
Speaker 10: these presidents, many presidents, expanded the White House, change the
Speaker 10: White House, added things, you know, and the idea that
Speaker 10: a court has nothing better to do than to issue
Speaker 10: an injunction to keep a hole in the ground. By
Speaker 10: the way, the case was brought months after the the
Speaker 10: building began, and and and it was far too late.
Speaker 10: So of course the Supreme Court will do the right
Speaker 10: thing here and not stop the president from doing what
Speaker 10: he's perfectly entitled to do under the Constitution. That has
Speaker 10: served the executive function by building the executive mansion for
Speaker 10: not only himself but for future president.
Speaker 2: And making it safer than any of those other hotels.
Speaker 10: Yeah, not only that, but having you know, possibly a
Speaker 10: helicopter port on the top, and all the things that
Speaker 10: presidents have done. You know, I've been in the White House,
Speaker 10: I don't know a hundred times since I first went
Speaker 10: there as a kid. It's beautiful, but you know, it
Speaker 10: reflects the fact that it was built two hundred something
Speaker 10: years ago and it can't just keep up without change,
Speaker 10: is without additions. So I hope the Supreme Court unanimously
Speaker 10: sends a message to the lower courts stay in your lane,
Speaker 10: Stay in your lane. Even Justice Ginsburg once through an
Speaker 10: opinion saying, we are not just commissioners assigned to do justice.
Speaker 10: We have a very limited role to decide cases and controversies.
Speaker 10: The government wants to put somebody in jail, the person says, no,
Speaker 10: I have a lawyer. That's the kind of case you take.
Speaker 10: Two people are sewing each other on a contract. That's
Speaker 10: the kind of case you take for you don't take
Speaker 10: cases trying to stop the president of the United States
Speaker 10: from filling a hole that already exists by the time
Speaker 10: you brought the lawsuit.
Speaker 2: Professor, you said, just one of the dumbest cases that
Speaker 2: was ever held up. What are the similar cases to that?
Speaker 2: Are there? How many other dumb cases out there?
Speaker 9: There are a lot.
Speaker 10: I mean, trying to stop the president from who he
Speaker 10: can hire and fire. You know, courts have a limited
Speaker 10: function to play and they shouldn't be overseeing the executive branch.
Speaker 10: And it's happening all over the world today. We're seeing
Speaker 10: it happening in Israel. Courts are playing too great a
Speaker 10: role in deciding how to fight wars and how to
Speaker 10: defend Israel against its enemies. It's happening in England. It's happening.
Speaker 10: You know. Judges are just flexing their muscles now, and
Speaker 10: judges have to stay in their lane. They have a
Speaker 10: very limited function to perform at a democracy. You know,
Speaker 10: the Book of Ruth in the Bible begins with a
Speaker 10: very interesting statement. It says, when judges ruled the land
Speaker 10: there was famine.
Speaker 4: You don't want judges to.
Speaker 10: Rule the land. You want elected officials to rule the land,
Speaker 10: the president, the Congress, but not judges. And it goes
Speaker 10: back to Biblical times.
Speaker 2: Judge Weinberger, at Cox, anything else?
Speaker 3: You know what I actually have a question for. I'm
Speaker 3: looking at you guys to John's question about a federal
Speaker 3: issue with the renfrees. Will you explain that to Professor Dershowitz.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, I don't know if you're high professor.
Speaker 2: They moved the Staten Island case to Manhattan, would have
Speaker 2: more liberal judges to be able to kill the kill
Speaker 2: the deal that Randy Mashow is running.
Speaker 10: Well, you know, we know that judge shopping is very
Speaker 10: common on all sides, and it shouldn't be lowed when
Speaker 10: a case is assigned somewhere, that's where it goes. But
Speaker 10: look again, these are cases that that generally should be
Speaker 10: decided by the electorate and not by a lifetime appointed
Speaker 10: judge or a judge elected for fourteen years. Judges should
Speaker 10: play a very limited role in any democracy. And that's
Speaker 10: not me speaking, that's Thomas Jefferson speaking. That's Alexander Hamilton speaking.
Speaker 10: All three of you fathers. Yeah, all right, I like.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if they played basketball, but I
Speaker 3: like all of them.
Speaker 10: I know I didn't play basketball because I hadn't been
Speaker 10: invented yet, but probably a little bit of what we
Speaker 10: now call.
Speaker 2: We're on a run. Judge went at Cox any for
Speaker 2: any I agree one.
Speaker 5: Hundred and ten percent with Professor Joshwitz there.
Speaker 10: And if any of you want to shoot hoops, I'm available,
Speaker 10: always happy. I have a hoop in my backyard, and
Speaker 10: I you know, I still shoot him. I don't hit
Speaker 10: him as many as often as I can.
Speaker 2: All right, professors, get off the ground.
Speaker 10: When I take a jump shot, esh.
Speaker 6: For you, is it a two hand jump shot? Or
Speaker 6: is it a one hand jump shot?
Speaker 10: Very imposed to be. I do a one hand jump
Speaker 10: shot now, and I do a one hand foul shot.
Speaker 10: And I want to contest in Boston Garden against Bob Wolf,
Speaker 10: the sports lawyer. He hit six out of twenty and
Speaker 10: I hit thirteen.
Speaker 11: Out of twenty.
Speaker 9: Wow.
Speaker 10: Wow. We played halftime at a at a playoff game
Speaker 10: between the Celtics and I think the Warriors, I'm not sure,
Speaker 10: but I won and they carried me off the court.
Speaker 10: And that's when I was, you know, seventy years old,
Speaker 10: So I'm still trying a young song I'm going to
Speaker 10: be eighty eight next week.
Speaker 2: Together and we'll celebrate.
Speaker 10: Tell me on my birthday.
Speaker 3: We love you, we love you, thank you.
Speaker 2: Let's take Let's take a break right now in La
Speaker 2: Te're Tenny and then Steve Moore to find out what
Speaker 2: dek is going on.
Speaker 1: Are Common Sense recap of the day's biggest stories. It's
Speaker 1: John Katzi, Medidi's and Rita Cosby, Cats and Cosby on
Speaker 1: seventy seven w WABC, and.
Speaker 3: We are back here on Kats and Cosby before we
Speaker 3: get to the economy with Steve More. Steve, you wrote
Speaker 3: in your blog about Nick Shirley and alaw in California.
Speaker 3: I went to Nick Shirley as the kind of courageous
Speaker 3: independent journalist who's been uncovering all this fraud across America
Speaker 3: and what California is trying to boot him out.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's an amazing story. Actually, it'd be almost like,
Speaker 12: you know, if you saw a bank robber and then
Speaker 12: you tackle them so we couldn't get away, and then
Speaker 12: the police came and arrested you.
Speaker 2: Not the background that's happened. I remember when they were
Speaker 2: breaking the criminals were breaking into one of our stores
Speaker 2: in grucebe stores and they arrested at Scooty Gun.
Speaker 12: Oh my god, exactly. So that's what's happening here. We
Speaker 12: know Freud is completely rampant, and Nick Shirley is a hero.
Speaker 12: By the way, when we have our ten year anniversary,
Speaker 12: which I want you guys to come to in October,
Speaker 12: we're giving the what we're calling the Evans and Novak
Speaker 12: Award out Starning Journalism to Nick Shirley because he did
Speaker 12: what nobody else at sixty Minutes or CBS or Wall
Speaker 12: Street Journal Will Washington Post or any of the major
Speaker 12: news people that he exposed all of this fraud that's
Speaker 12: going on. And now the people in California, instead of
Speaker 12: giving a medal, they're saying what you did is illegal.
Speaker 3: That's incredible. By the way, I love that you're doing
Speaker 3: that award to him too. He is really like one
Speaker 3: gutsy guy. You also talk about data centers too, and
Speaker 3: what's going on with West Virginia, because that's a hot topic.
Speaker 12: Steve Well surez, And and you know your governor there
Speaker 12: in New York is to put a moratorium on more
Speaker 12: on data centers. At the same time she wants to
Speaker 12: have five thousand acres paved over in the solar farms.
Speaker 12: But this is the economic development of future. I know
Speaker 12: people have very you know a lot of people have
Speaker 12: very negative attitudes about these, but we need we need
Speaker 12: data centers just like we need power plants. And so
Speaker 12: if they're not going to build them in New York,
Speaker 12: they'll build them somewhere else. But it makes sense. They
Speaker 12: create a lot of jobs. By the way, have either
Speaker 12: of you ever been to a data center?
Speaker 3: Not recently?
Speaker 12: They're no, they're pretty very huge.
Speaker 3: They're enormous.
Speaker 2: I heard Elon Musk is building one.
Speaker 12: That's right exactly, so put massive, yes, And so this
Speaker 12: is the well they're saying that the tech company saying
Speaker 12: over the next twenty five years and have spent seven
Speaker 12: trillion dollars on data centers because look, people might not
Speaker 12: like them, but I wouldn't be talking to you on
Speaker 12: my cell phone right now. We wouldn't have the Internet,
Speaker 12: we wouldn't have GPS system, we wouldn't have our National
Speaker 12: security radar system. None of that works if we don't
Speaker 12: have data centers. So we need to build them, but
Speaker 12: we know we should only build them in my opinion,
Speaker 12: rito where people want in communities where people want them
Speaker 12: where where they want the jobs, and they want to
Speaker 12: I've never seen when I was out the one in Manassas, Virginia,
Speaker 12: I never saw so many construction workers in my life.
Speaker 2: Before we go off, tell us about the markets. And
Speaker 2: you're going to be on tomorrow from one o'clock to
Speaker 2: three o'clock the More Money Show, More Money, And I
Speaker 2: believe that Larry Kuddough is coming back from vacation just
Speaker 2: to do the Saturday show with you time.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so five hours, John, No other network in America
Speaker 12: has five hours of live economic politics.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 12: And we're gonna have a great show tomorrow from under
Speaker 12: one and I'm on from one to three on the
Speaker 12: More Money Show to make more money.
Speaker 11: I want that.
Speaker 2: I will be listening tomorrow.
Speaker 12: Thank you, Steve More John, can you come on to morow.
Speaker 3: You can need me.
Speaker 2: I'm in the bullpen.
Speaker 12: I watch it. Okay, have a great week.
Speaker 3: I gots thanks to you too, and John. I understand
Speaker 3: we have calling in Claudia Tenny from the great State.
Speaker 2: Of New York Friday night. Well, thank god it's Friday,
Speaker 2: and what is today is Congresswoman Claudia Tenny and one
Speaker 2: of the smartest ladies I know, and really defends her
Speaker 2: state and really defends a country. Claudia, Tenny, what the
Speaker 2: heck is going on? What kept you up last night?
Speaker 2: What do you have sleepless nights about?
Speaker 13: Well, John, I just want to say thank you for
Speaker 13: the kind words, but you know what keeps up it
Speaker 13: right right now. I was in New York City yesterday.
Speaker 13: I had a great event with Steve Scalise and we
Speaker 13: had a speaker Johnson here talking about you know, where
Speaker 13: we go in the future, what the midterms are, in
Speaker 13: our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, and the Democrats talking
Speaker 13: about communism, socialism, subverting what our very constitution stands for.
Speaker 13: And part of the reason is there's three Democrats who
Speaker 13: will likely win running on this socialist communist mandami agenda,
Speaker 13: will likely take seats in the House of Representatives, and
Speaker 13: how they're going to take an oath of office really
Speaker 13: kind of bothers me that if you're going to take
Speaker 13: an oath to uphold the principles or constitution and you
Speaker 13: claim to have a socialist, communist subversive agenda, you can't
Speaker 13: support individual rights and freedom and a free market system,
Speaker 13: and you can't support self governance because everything you're claiming
Speaker 13: to stand for is the opposite of what our government
Speaker 13: is about, and why our founders came here to get
Speaker 13: away from a king and to provide for private property,
Speaker 13: something that they all stand against, and the ability of
Speaker 13: every American to have the opportunity to actually become seat
Speaker 13: happiness not guaranteed, but to actually own private property as well,
Speaker 13: which by the way, is mentioned or referenced indirectly more
Speaker 13: times in our US Constitution than even the concept of freedom.
Speaker 2: Well, Congresswoman Tenney, you had dinner with Sievescalice, I had
Speaker 2: lunch with him, and I had breakfast with the Speaker
Speaker 2: yesterday morning. And the fact is I brought up the
Speaker 2: fact that all these migrants that came in, whether if
Speaker 2: they're going to be applying for green cards or if
Speaker 2: they're going to be applying for a citizenship, eventually they
Speaker 2: have to pledge allegiance to the flaggerty United States, like
Speaker 2: we did through Ellis Island, and they have to salute
Speaker 2: the flagg of the United States, and they got to
Speaker 2: believe in the Constitution. So some of these socialists don't
Speaker 2: do that. So what do we do with them?
Speaker 13: Well, by the way, they are supposed to do that,
Speaker 13: and my grandparents came through Ellis Island as well, a
Speaker 13: long time ago, the turn of the century, in nineteen
Speaker 13: ninety early nineteen hundreds, and they were grateful to be
Speaker 13: able to come from overseas, to be able to come
Speaker 13: to this country and find a job and work and
Speaker 13: raise their families. And I think that's what most new
Speaker 13: immigrants want. I think there's been this just open border,
Speaker 13: just an flux of immigrants, many of them human trafficked,
Speaker 13: many of them brought in you know, just you know,
Speaker 13: not really understanding what they're doing here. And so many
Speaker 13: of the Democrats saying, you know what, let's just keep
Speaker 13: everybody here, regardless of how they feel about our constitution.
Speaker 13: Our system doesn't work if you don't have buy in
Speaker 13: from the very people who are supposed to be operating it.
Speaker 13: It's supposed to be we the people self governments. Governance
Speaker 13: means that each.
Speaker 10: Person has to believe in what we're doing. So how
Speaker 10: are they going to swear on the Constitution. It'll be
Speaker 10: interesting to see some of the Democrats are trying to backpedal.
Speaker 13: Really discouraged to see Chuck Schumer continuing to double down
Speaker 13: on his support of l Sied the Michigan you know,
Speaker 13: a nominee for a Democrat, nominee for the US Senate.
Speaker 13: You know, I don't care whether you're a Republican or Democrat.
Speaker 13: You can't support someone who is so subversive, so against
Speaker 13: our constitution, so anti Semitic, to come in and represent
Speaker 13: our nation in the US Senate. There's only one hundred
Speaker 13: of them, and to have one that it stands out
Speaker 13: so far and so extreme, there's not really much he
Speaker 13: can say to disavow what he claims to stand for.
Speaker 13: But this is getting to the point where these types
Speaker 13: of people are getting mainstreamed in our communities and it
Speaker 13: just really concerns me. I know the speaker is really
Speaker 13: concerned about it. I know, Steve Scalies. We welcome immigrants
Speaker 13: in our country. Nothing greater than New York City and
Speaker 13: having the Statue of Liberty here I mean.
Speaker 2: Judia. We want immigrants that don't want to change our
Speaker 2: way of life in America. We want immigrants that are
Speaker 2: thankful for being in America.
Speaker 13: Exactly well, they eat lubus unhem from many one. People
Speaker 13: come from all over the world to believe in our philosophy,
Speaker 13: which is what our enduring themes of our constitution at
Speaker 13: two hundred and fifty years. Let's hope that that's what
Speaker 13: we're going to make sure that we have people.
Speaker 10: Like that that.
Speaker 13: Are going to be in this country that aren't going
Speaker 13: to commit crimes, that aren't going to take advantage of
Speaker 13: our system or our taxpayers with fraud, abuse and ways
Speaker 13: and take that money, go back to their country of
Speaker 13: origin and put it in the Swiss bank account and
Speaker 13: build the US taxpayers. That's what we're seeing happening. That's why,
Speaker 13: you know, enforcement of our laws, rule of law is
Speaker 13: really important, all those things that we stand for as
Speaker 13: a nation. And yet you have Democrats in New York
Speaker 13: City and some parts around the country running and saying
Speaker 13: they're against the police, they're against prisons. Nobody's ever wrong
Speaker 13: about anything. And this is you know, beyond just you know, socialism, communism.
Speaker 13: It's like anarchy and subversion. And that's what really worries men.
Speaker 13: I think people understand the rule of law has to
Speaker 13: be honored. That's how you can have a system where
Speaker 13: everyone has the right and the option and the ability
Speaker 13: to prosper.
Speaker 2: So all of us listening to us on Friday night
Speaker 2: is immigration, yes, invasion, No, we want immigrants. We want them,
Speaker 2: but we want the with pledge allegiance just like our
Speaker 2: grandfathers did to the flag and to the United States,
Speaker 2: not to come in here to change our lifestyles.
Speaker 9: Well said.
Speaker 10: I couldn't say it better.
Speaker 2: Claudia Tenny, great congress woman. Thank you so much for
Speaker 2: coming on this Friday evening. We have so many things
Speaker 2: to talk about. Let's talk again on Sunday.
Speaker 10: Thanks great talking to you.
Speaker 2: Well, that's one great lady and she yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 2: I love you fire. She's a tough lady. And you
Speaker 2: know you need tough women in Congress.
Speaker 3: Well, and you know the good point that she made,
Speaker 3: you guys. She was talking about it particularly at Cox
Speaker 3: the DSA group that's coming in potentially we'll see, right,
Speaker 3: they're trying to come into Congress, and what that means
Speaker 3: for New York and what it means for the Congress,
Speaker 3: and how much is at stake with.
Speaker 6: The very narrow majority in the Congress. It is a
Speaker 6: real problem that a small group or that who do
Speaker 6: not like America.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I'm glad she's sounding the alarm and let's go.
Speaker 2: We had the top news of a day sponsored by
Speaker 2: Golia Foods and Sunday night. I'm going to be having
Speaker 2: some more goloia beans.
Speaker 3: I knew it, I knew it, ed what about you?
Speaker 2: Yum?
Speaker 3: All right, all right, that's the seal of approval.
Speaker 1: It's the tough News of the day, sponsored by Goya.
Speaker 3: Here is Rita, and guys, here are the Goya Hot
Speaker 3: Hot Hot headlines of the day. President Trump's going to
Speaker 3: headline a campaign rally for South Carolina Senator Darlene Graham
Speaker 3: tonight at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. Graham is facing
Speaker 3: Congressman Ralph Norman in the state's GOP senate primary runoff
Speaker 3: on August twenty fifth. Of course, she is the sister
Speaker 3: of the late Lindsay Graham, so we'll see what happens
Speaker 3: a runoff next week between those two. And also, security
Speaker 3: plans for the US Open tennis tournament are in place.
Speaker 3: The NYPD will be using their own drones plus a
Speaker 3: dedicated twenty four hour police detail mounted units, and also
Speaker 3: the bomb squad deployments are starting a week earlier than
Speaker 3: previous years due to obviously a lot of big security issues.
Speaker 3: And those are the big headlines in John. When we
Speaker 3: come back, we got one of our favorites, Brigadier General
Speaker 3: Blain Holt.
Speaker 2: We're going to find out what's going on in Iran
Speaker 2: in and who's playing games and what the heck is
Speaker 2: going on? This is today break.
Speaker 1: First your commuting home with Katz and Cosby. Now here's
Speaker 1: John Katzimdidi's and read it Gosby on seventy seven WABC,
Speaker 1: and we.
Speaker 3: Are back and joining us now to talk about Iran
Speaker 3: and everything else. Is one of our favorites, Brigadier General
Speaker 3: Blaine Holt, of course former C seventeen commander, also deputy
Speaker 3: there at NATO, and we love having you on. What
Speaker 3: do you think is going on with Iran? One of
Speaker 3: the things was so interesting? Did you see this general
Speaker 3: that there was a statement from one of the leaders
Speaker 3: in Iran today saying, we hope the war is over soon.
Speaker 3: But I don't know what that means. How do you
Speaker 3: read that? We hope so too, but a different way.
Speaker 9: I think he's going to get what he wants. H
Speaker 9: git Ter, watch what you ask for in this world,
Speaker 9: because you might just get it and they are what
Speaker 9: I'm what I'm understanding is is that this new escalation
Speaker 9: in Secretary of the Treasury Scott to sense actions in
Speaker 9: really really air tight, sealing up the money, going after
Speaker 9: those that still think it's okay to do business with Iran,
Speaker 9: slamming the straits closed. The straits are closed to Iran,
Speaker 9: not the others. And what we're going to next is
Speaker 9: I am told from a very close source of mind
Speaker 9: that most of the conditions are met so that we
Speaker 9: can tell the Iranian people it's yours for the taking,
Speaker 9: go get it.
Speaker 3: Wow, So how does that happen if assuming they're still unarmed?
Speaker 9: Right, Well, it's a big assumption. It's not an assumption
Speaker 9: that I would be making at this time.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so all right, So now now knowing you're
Speaker 3: all right, so assuming they have something, what do they have?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 9: So you know, we did this in the early days
Speaker 9: of Operation and during freedom in Afghanistan. We were able
Speaker 9: to advance the things that the Northern Alliance needed to
Speaker 9: get started with the removal of the Tall Monera, at
Speaker 9: least taking them on at that point in time. Forget
Speaker 9: where we're at right now today. But in the Iranian case,
Speaker 9: it's largely the same. We've got great friends in the
Speaker 9: Kurdish people, We've got a lot of clandestine allies and
Speaker 9: partners that are on the ground in Iran, and they
Speaker 9: have for some time now been organizing resistance, getting them
Speaker 9: the things that they need, and I think we're just
Speaker 9: on the eve of that being a possibility.
Speaker 11: All right.
Speaker 3: So when you say eve, are we from what you're hearing?
Speaker 3: Yet you've always had some good sources. Are you're talking
Speaker 3: days weeks? What are you talking?
Speaker 9: Days?
Speaker 10: Two?
Speaker 9: A couple of weeks most likely. I saw some materials
Speaker 9: today that we're very encouraging in terms of what we
Speaker 9: call preparation of the battle space and look really good.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Well, so I mean hopefully it is a matter of
Speaker 2: days and versus a matter of months.
Speaker 3: Wow, that would be amazing, John, Do you think.
Speaker 2: Well, we got so many problems. We got problems that
Speaker 2: I wan Hamas, any update on Hamas, any update on
Speaker 2: h I guess Hasbala or the.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So again I got to go back to one of
Speaker 9: our field generals, Scott Descent. He's doing a masterful job
Speaker 9: of making sure that their life support on all free
Speaker 9: proxies are gone. And then what we really have to work, well,
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, not we, but President Trump. He's working inside
Speaker 9: of Israeli politics on the you know, we're not very
Speaker 9: far away from where Israeli voters are going to go
Speaker 9: to the polls, and we're trying to get Israel and
Speaker 9: America aligned on what the Board of Peace wants to
Speaker 9: see happen in terms of our preference for disarming Hamas.
Speaker 9: That's the fly in the ointment. You can certainly appreciate
Speaker 9: the it in Yahoo's position by trying to get re
Speaker 9: elected and not push back too hard on his electorate
Speaker 9: while we're demanding a certain strategy and a course of
Speaker 9: action be followed. So I think we'll I think we'll
Speaker 9: show that one up. I think we'll do it really well.
Speaker 9: But but but when I look at Iran, Iran is
Speaker 9: now the key and and and this is going to
Speaker 9: also depend on a wild card the Iranian people. When
Speaker 9: we say green light, goat, they got to go. So
Speaker 9: so that's the next part we have to have some
Speaker 9: faith in and hopefully they'll understand this is their only chance.
Speaker 6: General when they the ed cox here, when they say
Speaker 6: go will there be a split in the leadership, because
Speaker 6: that's the way these games or these regimes fall, there
Speaker 6: has to be a split in the leadership.
Speaker 9: Well, I you know, I would say that at this
Speaker 9: point in time, the regime is probably about a three
Speaker 9: to four headed hydra that that all of the heads
Speaker 9: of the beasts hate each other's gut. They they're turning
Speaker 9: on each other. They can't talk to each other. They're
Speaker 9: very isolated. You know, we're moving ships through the straits
Speaker 9: at night now because they're blinded and can't see, and
Speaker 9: so they're in a very very bad place. And that
Speaker 9: kind of chaos and disarray is just perfect. That's part
Speaker 9: of the preparation of the battle space. But another part
Speaker 9: of that is suppression of enemy air defenses, command and control,
Speaker 9: all of the types of things that they're going to need.
Speaker 9: And again it'll come down to the fortitude eventually when
Speaker 9: we tell the Iranian people, well, all the conditions are
Speaker 9: met now it's yours, but you have to do it.
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean, that is really interesting. We'll see. I mean,
Speaker 3: if it's going to be days or weeks, that would
Speaker 3: be amazing if they had the ability to take back
Speaker 3: their country with support of the Kurds or great fighters,
Speaker 3: And that was incredible.
Speaker 2: Listen, I had breakfast me and Ed Cox and Judge
Speaker 2: Weinberg had breakfast with Speaker Mike Johnson yesterday and then
Speaker 2: we had me and we had lunch with Scalise, and well,
Speaker 2: we better win in November because if the if the
Speaker 2: crazy is going charge or whatever we want to call them,
Speaker 2: the the Democrats that the socialists get getting charged in
Speaker 2: our countries can be in trouble.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: One thing I might add is, Uh, if it's very
Speaker 9: obvious to the American people in the coming weeks that
Speaker 9: our great grandchildren and our grandchildren will never live under
Speaker 9: the threat of an Iranian Mulla's nuclear weapon, they gotta
Speaker 9: believe that's going to play very well into the midterms.
Speaker 3: Yeah, great point. And uh, and it's incredible progress too,
Speaker 3: and especially if they can get wrapped up in the
Speaker 3: next few weeks, that would be amazing too. Also, Uh,
Speaker 3: General blain Hole, you always have such great intel. You
Speaker 3: got to keep us posted because you always such great
Speaker 3: important stuff and you're on it. So definitely keep us posted.
Speaker 3: Make sure you message me or John when you get
Speaker 3: some more info.
Speaker 11: You bet you.
Speaker 9: Happy weekend, everyone.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you so much. And John, I understand
Speaker 3: we have calling in right now the GOP chair from Florida.
Speaker 3: Of course, lots of interesting elections there, John, you want
Speaker 3: to take.
Speaker 2: It, okay? Well, let's go to Florida with us. Today
Speaker 2: is Evan Power and he's the Florida GOP chairman, and
Speaker 2: he's gonna give us an update what the heck is
Speaker 2: going on in Florida at the home of lots of
Speaker 2: our friends. And we may be uh there soon too.
Speaker 2: Uh Well, Evan, give us an update. You had the
Speaker 2: primaries already, give us an update what the heck is
Speaker 2: going on?
Speaker 14: So we have the primaries this week, and aren't We
Speaker 14: have our nominees. Byron Donald's is gonna be a tremendous
Speaker 14: top of the ticket along with Senator Ashley Moody. But
Speaker 14: you know, we have a Democrat socialist and Angie Nixon
Speaker 14: who won the Senate primary, so that makes it a
Speaker 14: little easier. And you know, we have a one point
Speaker 14: five million voter advantage here in Florida, so we feel
Speaker 14: confident going into November. But we're gonna work hard and
Speaker 14: we're gonna make sure that we continue to build that
Speaker 14: lead because I think you know the reason why many
Speaker 14: of our friends from from up north have come down
Speaker 14: is they love the Conservative government and we're continuing to
Speaker 14: grow it.
Speaker 2: And I mean, there was one hiccup, what was it?
Speaker 2: Jacksonville where a left wing well a socialist one. What
Speaker 2: happened there? I understand from the Democrats the person running
Speaker 2: against only spent a few million dollars and kept eight
Speaker 2: or nine million dollars in the bank instead of spending
Speaker 2: it to win, and that's why one of the reasons
Speaker 2: he lost. And the socialist one, what say you, well.
Speaker 14: You know there's Jacksonville is a unique situation. I think
Speaker 14: there's a city council race that was a little difficult,
Speaker 14: but it's a tough environment there. Some people spend money,
Speaker 14: there's a socialist but when they're facing off against Republicans
Speaker 14: will take care that. You know, Florida is a place
Speaker 14: where people moved from Venezuela and Cuba to free these
Speaker 14: failed policies. So when we have the general elections, we're
Speaker 14: going to be able to put them in their place.
Speaker 2: Understood, So you feel that common sense will prevail in
Speaker 2: Florida in what is it seven weeks? Eight weeks?
Speaker 14: Yeah, have seventy something days, But yes, I think common
Speaker 14: sense will prevail. I think when you look at what
Speaker 14: the infrastructure we built here at the Florida GOP, we
Speaker 14: have the best turnout operation in America.
Speaker 2: We turned out eighty.
Speaker 14: Six percent of our Republicans last election. We intend to
Speaker 14: turn them out again this time.
Speaker 9: And I think we're going to send the message.
Speaker 14: Loud and clear that this DSA socialism mess does not
Speaker 14: play in Florida and it shouldn't play in the rest
Speaker 14: of America.
Speaker 2: Anything else you want to tell to all Americans. I
Speaker 2: mean I used to hear it from all your people
Speaker 2: down in Florida, and they used to be able to say,
Speaker 2: come on down.
Speaker 14: No, we'd love to have more conservative minded prids, come
Speaker 14: on down, bring your businesses, bring bring your families. We
Speaker 14: are the beacon of freedom for the rest of the
Speaker 14: country and it's a lot of fun here and we're
Speaker 14: continuing to build a conservative mecca.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for coming on this Sunday
Speaker 2: morning and giving us an update. Evan Power, GOP chairman.
Speaker 2: And what city do you live by.
Speaker 14: I live in Tallahassee, which is actually one of the
Speaker 14: few liberal bastions, but it is the capital, so we've
Speaker 14: got to defend it the best we can.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much, and give all my friends
Speaker 2: down there in Florida a great hello. And we love Florida,
Speaker 2: we love Texas and God bless you both of you guys,
Speaker 2: and thank you so much for calling it. Thank you
Speaker 2: John freaking News WABC.
Speaker 3: Well, the defense has rested in the Lindsay Clancy case.
Speaker 3: This is a wild case, really horrific crime. The woman
Speaker 3: there in Massachusetts accused while she killed her three young kids.
Speaker 3: And the question is was it postpartum depression? Lots of
Speaker 3: people are talking about it's a battle of experts and John,
Speaker 3: I understand we have calling and why don't you take it?
Speaker 3: Doctor Mark Siegel? Who better than that?
Speaker 2: What is today's Doctor moff Siegel? And a good friend,
Speaker 2: a great personality. I love to have dinner with him.
Speaker 2: He always comes up with common sense answers and solutions.
Speaker 2: Dr moff Siegel.
Speaker 11: This whole week I've been involved with trying to analyze
Speaker 11: the Lindsey Clancy case from a medical point of view,
Speaker 11: whatever that means. It's become a great deal. It's an
Speaker 11: attention seeker. It's gotten a lot of attention in our society.
Speaker 11: Women in pink are fighting on behalf of mental health
Speaker 11: in a postpart period. They should be okay, we need
Speaker 11: to raise awareness for that. A lot of women suffer
Speaker 11: when they're having babies. There's a change in body image,
Speaker 11: there's an enormous shift of hormones. There's a lot of
Speaker 11: depression that's not being picked up on or attended too properly.
Speaker 11: That is not the same thing. Per John cassamatids, who's
Speaker 11: going to agree with this somebody that kills their kids?
Speaker 11: And I think we really need to separate that out.
Speaker 11: That's number one. Number two is postpartum depression is not
Speaker 11: the same thing as postpartum psychosis, where you completely lose
Speaker 11: your mind. It's very very uncommon. Psychosis, very uncommon. And
Speaker 11: they're trying to determine in the court of law in
Speaker 11: Massachusetts whether that actually happened or not, whether she had
Speaker 11: some controlling hallucinations that were telling her what to do.
Speaker 11: But lost in all of this, and I'm emphasizing this
Speaker 11: too this week, John, is what about these poor babies,
Speaker 11: these children who had their lives snuffed out and taken
Speaker 11: away from them before they had a chance to live
Speaker 11: and being strangled. I mean, you know, it's very graphic,
Speaker 11: but that's got to be on people's minds too. And
Speaker 11: here's the fundamental question. And you're going to love this, John,
Speaker 11: as a very religious person, as am I the fundamental
Speaker 11: question that comes up, and this is an age old question, John,
Speaker 11: is what do you call evil versus what do you
Speaker 11: call crazy? I mean, psychiatrists love to say, well, you
Speaker 11: know this is all psychiatric, it's psychosis, is a voice
Speaker 11: controlling her. But you know, as a religious person, I
Speaker 11: believe in evil and I think it's evil to do
Speaker 11: the something like this. And then the next question is
Speaker 11: was it premeditated? Because that's what the prosecution is saying.
Speaker 11: You know, we make a mistake in the media all
Speaker 11: the time, and we don't make it here on this show.
Speaker 11: But we make a mistake, which is we see a
Speaker 11: little snippet somewhere, we hear a sound body, we read something,
Speaker 11: and we come to a conclusion of a person we
Speaker 11: never met, we never examined, and we don't know do
Speaker 11: we know why she sent her husband out on an
Speaker 11: errand you know, why was she talking about harming her
Speaker 11: kids previously? You know, prosecution's point is this is this
Speaker 11: isn't a crazy person, This isn't psychosis. This is something planned,
Speaker 11: And that's what the trial's about. Is this something planned
Speaker 11: or is it someone losing their mind? And then where
Speaker 11: do you put evil in the equation that's my view.
Speaker 2: Well, you know it's someday. Are we going to be
Speaker 2: able to really analyze these kind of things? Someday?
Speaker 11: I think we have a system. I want to know
Speaker 11: your opinion on this. We have a system where it's
Speaker 11: like a circus. I don't know. I don't trial. It's
Speaker 11: why Judge Weinberg is a judge, and I'm not. I'm
Speaker 11: not I'm not comfortable with the whole idea of a trial.
Speaker 11: I love that we have a trial based system. But
Speaker 11: I think we're going to be able to tell guilt
Speaker 11: a lot more than we than we are right now.
Speaker 11: If that's what you mean, we probably can monitor people
Speaker 11: metabolically in the future and figure out what they actually did.
Speaker 2: Understood well, doctor Mark Siegel, thank you for your analysis,
Speaker 2: and if we keep on talking, we're going to get
Speaker 2: to our solutions as sooner or later. Thank you so much.
Speaker 11: John. What do you think? What do you think of
Speaker 11: this horrible case?
Speaker 2: What do you think about you know, having grandchildren and
Speaker 2: having raised two children and having two grandchildren. Now it
Speaker 2: is beyond my ability to comprehend how something like that
Speaker 2: could happen.
Speaker 11: Yeah, someone gives birth to a child there to defend
Speaker 11: and protect a child against.
Speaker 2: All It's part of the makeup of a mother.
Speaker 11: That's right.
Speaker 2: We've seen it in mothers and we've seen it in
Speaker 2: animals protecting their offspring. There's got to be a loose screw.
Speaker 2: It's got to be a loose screw, very quite loose,
Speaker 2: very loose. Let's keep talking about it. I'll see you
Speaker 2: very important. Thank you, very.
Speaker 11: Important, John, Thank you. We love our mothers.
Speaker 3: Thank you, absolutely, it is just stunning. Well, let's go
Speaker 3: to Miranda Divine. I understand we've got an update on
Speaker 3: Act Blue. Miranda, we love having you on. Thank you
Speaker 3: for joining us on a Friday, fill us in.
Speaker 9: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 12: Well.
Speaker 15: As you know, John's been keeping a weather eye on this.
Speaker 15: We have Act Blue, which is the democrats number one
Speaker 15: fundraising platform, is under congressional investigations.
Speaker 9: For the last two years.
Speaker 15: It's also apparently the Department of Justice is investigating them
Speaker 15: for straw donations, foreign money coming in deliberately, lacks procedures
Speaker 15: to vet that money. And today again one of their
Speaker 15: senior executives has appeared before the House Committee on House
Speaker 15: Administration and pleaded the fifth This will be I think
Speaker 15: about the two hundredth time that one of their executives
Speaker 15: has pleaded the fifth They just do not want to
Speaker 15: be held accountable. And even though their entire legal team
Speaker 15: quit last year because the chief executive they had been
Speaker 15: advised by external lawyers and misled Congress in her testimony
Speaker 15: or in a lesson that she sent to Congress, the
Speaker 15: entire legal team quit. Still raking in the money, you know,
Speaker 15: having something like fifty Anyway, they collected twenty billion dollars
Speaker 15: so far. It's still collecting for the mid term.
Speaker 2: Miranda, I was on the President called me this morning.
Speaker 2: I was on with him, and I specifically said to him,
Speaker 2: we got to get whether it's the CIA or the
Speaker 2: FBI or whoever the responsible people are, because those people
Speaker 2: in whether it's the East Coast or the Chinese guy
Speaker 2: in the in China, which is Nevil Roy, it's not
Speaker 2: necessarily his money, it's being the foreign governments are funneling
Speaker 2: money through them.
Speaker 15: So they are, and you know, they love the Democratic Socialists.
Speaker 2: And when I was talking to the President this morning,
Speaker 2: and he it was like nobody's told them that, really, yes,
Speaker 2: but he acknowledged what I said, and I said, you
Speaker 2: got to get these whether it's the CIA, the FBI.
Speaker 2: You've got to get these guys after Yeah, I remember
Speaker 2: all the stuff they're talking about after half hour.
Speaker 3: Coll You know, Wow, that's impressive, Miranda. But it's interesting too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 15: I mean, how good that John, that you've brought that
Speaker 15: to the President's.
Speaker 2: The money is being funneled through quasi American citizens.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's not their money.
Speaker 2: It's not the sing sing didn't wake up one morning.
Speaker 2: He says, I want to dedicate my personal money to
Speaker 2: the course.
Speaker 3: Which opens the window to foreign interference. Wow, that is
Speaker 3: a you know, for.
Speaker 15: Example, for example, Abdulla l Sayed, who's just won the
Speaker 15: Democratic nomination in Michigan for the Senate, he gets a
Speaker 15: lot of that to Blue money, as do Bernie Sanders
Speaker 15: and AOC. So this money is specifically going to these
Speaker 15: left wing candidates and to left wing causes. And you
Speaker 15: know al said is all about anti Israel. Well, what
Speaker 15: a wonderful opportunity for the anti Israel countries in the
Speaker 15: Middle East to funnel money through as Blue to him,
Speaker 15: to their personal candidate.
Speaker 3: Well, we definitely need to get to the bottom of that.
Speaker 11: Wow.
Speaker 2: Make sure that other people that you know, because you know,
Speaker 2: just as many people as I do that. You make
Speaker 2: sure you pass on the.
Speaker 9: Information absolutely, yeah, right about it soon.
Speaker 3: Thank you Miranda very much. Wow, and you guys, let's
Speaker 3: take a breakway have Joe konjac coming up.
Speaker 1: It's our common sense recap of the big stories. It's
Speaker 1: Cats and Cosby on seventy seven w WABC, and we
Speaker 1: are back.
Speaker 3: Here on Cats Cosby and joining us now as we
Speaker 3: do every Friday. Joe, Kanja and Joe. You and I
Speaker 3: were talking earlier about this whole thing with John Asoff
Speaker 3: and Natalie Harp. What a disgusting comment from the senator
Speaker 3: there in Georgia, who's looks like he's trying to eye
Speaker 3: the presidency. I think he just alienated what's the female
Speaker 3: population of America fifty one percent? I think he just
Speaker 3: alienated fifty one percent of the population.
Speaker 16: Going after an innocent woman with zero evidence whatsoever. The
Speaker 16: implication was clear when Osoff said that Trump doesn't want
Speaker 16: to work, he just wants to spend more time with Natalie.
Speaker 16: For starters, no one works harder than Trump. You could
Speaker 16: like him or dislike him. I mean, the guy is NonStop,
Speaker 16: and Natalie Harp is his executive assistant, so she has
Speaker 16: to therefore work as hard as he does in terms
Speaker 16: of maintaining everything that an executive assistant does for an
Speaker 16: executive and for asof to say this in the left
Speaker 16: love this legacy. Media loved this when he decided to
Speaker 16: throw out this smear, and that's exactly what it was.
Speaker 16: So so much for the Party of Women, I guess
Speaker 16: because you saw everybody CNN thinks that they found their
Speaker 16: next Malaysian missing plane story. They've gone wall to wall
Speaker 16: with this as if it's some sort of controversy. Yes,
Speaker 16: this is not Bill and Monica. There is no blue
Speaker 16: dress and there is no DNA on a dress. It's
Speaker 16: just innuendo. And it's the gutter politics that we all hate.
Speaker 3: You know what is shocking. As soon as I heard that.
Speaker 3: First of all, for the record, it was when the
Speaker 3: whole plane switch happened in Turkey, and he didn't just
Speaker 3: take Natalie, who I know, Natalie's a great gal. He
Speaker 3: also took there were like two or three other senior staffers.
Speaker 3: And guess what if you're going on a plane near
Speaker 3: the president, you need your right hand nag staff. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, as a woman, when I heard that, I thought,
Speaker 3: how dare you just because She's an attractive woman that
Speaker 3: you would criticize and like make some innuendo that guy
Speaker 3: should never be ever able to run for the presidency ever.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 16: And by the way, when he said this joke, Trump
Speaker 16: roast people, he does it in a more benign way.
Speaker 16: It's not like this. And oh, by the way, he
Speaker 16: was reading a teleprompter, so this was written for him.
Speaker 16: This is like Kamala all over again, except I think
Speaker 16: also maybe more feminine, if that's possible.
Speaker 6: Also, this is ed Cox here the president to communicate
Speaker 6: with people on an ongoing basis, and she gives him
Speaker 6: that capability when he wants to communicate. When he wants
Speaker 6: to communicate with me, he sends it through Natalie. Yes,
Speaker 6: when you want to get something to him through Natalie
Speaker 6: absolutely person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 16: And when I wrote the book on Trump's campaign in
Speaker 16: twenty twenty four, she was the person that I had
Speaker 16: to coordinate everything when I went to the rally in
Speaker 16: Wildwood and when I went on the Trump plane, and
Speaker 16: when I was backstage at the Republican National Convention, and
Speaker 16: when I was at Madison Square Garden. You're right, everything
Speaker 16: goes through her. And I would joke with her from
Speaker 16: time to time when I'm like, it's four am on
Speaker 16: a Sunday, what are you doing? She rarely sleeps, she's
Speaker 16: never taken a day off. And she's loyal because she
Speaker 16: was diagnosed the rare bone cancer ten years ago and
Speaker 16: because of the right to Try law that Trump signed
Speaker 16: in twenty eighteen, she got experimental drugs after failing with
Speaker 16: chemo that made her better. So she owed Trump, you know,
Speaker 16: her life, and she was working for Trump at that point,
Speaker 16: and maybe that's where the loyalty comes from. Instead, you
Speaker 16: got the Maggie Abrams in the world and on CNN
Speaker 16: talking about how she's a human binkie.
Speaker 2: I mean, how dare you? How dare you? Seriously?
Speaker 3: I found it as a woman. I found it so
Speaker 3: offensive because she's an attractive, hardworking gal and it's disgusting
Speaker 3: to say about her. It's disgusting to say about him.
Speaker 3: And I hope that that gets played over and over again.
Speaker 3: If Osov has any other sort of further political ambitions, Joe,
Speaker 3: I know you have some other big stuff you want
Speaker 3: to talk about.
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, so Karen Bass she's running obviously for reelection
Speaker 16: in Los Angeles, and I don't know if you guys
Speaker 16: have heard this, but she is saying, Okay, for every
Speaker 16: dollar that you donate to my campaign, you will get
Speaker 16: a six to one return on it.
Speaker 2: And I heard this. How is that not bribery? So literally,
Speaker 2: she says, if you.
Speaker 16: Donate fifty dollars to my campaign, you get back three hundred.
Speaker 16: It's I don't know if there's any lawyers there, but
Speaker 16: can someone explain to me how that's legal? Because I'm
Speaker 16: about to donate to the Karen Bass campaign, probably about
Speaker 16: one hundred thousand dollars so I could get my kids
Speaker 16: college paid for at least one of them anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of them, one of them. What do you
Speaker 3: think is that illegal? Does that sound like a like
Speaker 3: a con job?
Speaker 2: Or one?
Speaker 3: Yes? It Act blue money.
Speaker 2: Taxpayers Act Blue.
Speaker 16: Who knows, But I've never heard of anything like this before,
Speaker 16: but I think it deserves more investigators's.
Speaker 5: Getting stupid and winning hours of her mayalty.
Speaker 16: Well probably has another wedding to go to an Africa
Speaker 16: because wild fire season's coming soon. So that's basically the
Speaker 16: way it works in LA. But oh man, guys, I'm exhausted.
Speaker 2: What a week.
Speaker 16: I feel like we just did this five minutes ago.
Speaker 16: The whole Friday thing. But here we are. We got
Speaker 16: a great weekend coming ahead, and I guess the music's
Speaker 16: gonna start to slow.
Speaker 3: Here we go, Here we go. It's building, it's crescendoing, Here.
Speaker 2: We go, it's TGIF.
Speaker 3: So what do we all stand for?
Speaker 7: True justice?
Speaker 2: And Manny lay
