I mean that's generally like an eight 47 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: hour car ride, so I don't know if this would 48 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 3: be an overnight I don't know how they manage it. 49 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 3: So I'm waiting for them to get back, but I 50 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: will I'll keep you posted. 51 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: San Frand to Denver is the leg you're talking about. 52 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 3: No, I would do probably La La up to San Francis. 53 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to be on for 54 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: I mean I could do. 55 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: The Denver Well, it would be a bigger like there 56 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: would be more biomes in that trip that you would 57 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 2: go through than like La to San Francisco. Not that 58 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: much different from southern California to northern California at this 59 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: time of year. But to go from the coast to 60 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: the mountains, I think would be kind of that'd be beautiful, 61 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: actually beautiful. 62 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 3: Too if I could spend that all that time on 63 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 3: the train. 64 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 2: So long as it doesn't break down. 65 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 3: Stop train.

That was the end of her. 74 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 3: That was the end of her. Can thank god we 75 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 3: didn't live beteen twenty and fun. 76 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: I looked at the people that crossed the country and 77 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, we owe everything to them because 78 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: you know, they settled Iron Nation. But it was it 79 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: was not easy to do what actually not. 80 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: Know the weather. I'm a weather freak. Could you imagine 81 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: not knowing the weather on a day to day. I 82 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 3: mean they would get hit with a blizzard. They didn't 83 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: know what they're going to get two inches four just 84 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: fifty inches. Yeah, they didn't know anything and they plowed 85 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: through it. 86 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: But but you know what it made you do. It 87 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: made you prepare a lot better for life. You can't 88 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: vegetables that you didn't eat in the summer, and you 89 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: you dried that pork and you had stuff available because 90 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: if you didn't, you would die. 91 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: You would die.

I've seen 100 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 2: it a couple of times, but the running joke through 101 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: the commercial they keep cutting to like a confessional and 102 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: the guy's selling all the attributes of the flashlights, like 103 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 2: it'll do this, and it has an AM radio and 104 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: blah blah blah.

God's honest truth. 111 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yeah listen, Kevi. But we're going to 112 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: talk about the big news. 113 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think we need to, especially since there 114 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: have been a couple of Latin American countries that have 115 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: gone on the anti travel list for the country for 116 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 2: the the US. But I don't understand the opposition to 117 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: mister Maduro finally facing up to what he's done. 118 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 3: I do. Donald Trump could decide today that he is 119 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 3: becoming vegan, peta church goer, transgender, and they would still 120 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 3: find something. 121 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: Well, no, they would just take all the opposite positions 122 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: to all those PATHETSI the vegans will become meat eaters, 123 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, beef owners of America Association members. 124 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 3: But the point I'm making is it doesn't matter. And 125 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 3: I'd like to point out that there was a bounty 126 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 3: on Maduro's head from Joe. 127 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: Biden Di Chang twenty five million million, probably. 128 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: The most intelligent thing that man ever did. And we're mad. 129 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 3: You know, have a kid that dies from an overdose 130 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: because he was able to get drugs from these people. Okay, 131 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: what are you so angry about that it was not constitutional? 132 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: This guy is the what of my god? Editor in chief? No, 133 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: that was me in college. Hello, Commander in chief of 134 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 3: our armed forces. We have levels of government. He's in 135 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: the executive He can make a choice without having to 136 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: ask anybody. And that's why we have a president. 137 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 2: Keep thinking it's kind of interesting that these people are 138 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: all fighting against Trump as like the anti war protest, 139 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: because by the time we find out about the supposed war, 140 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: it's always over. Like when we bombed Iran's nuclear facility, 141 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: the planes were already landed back in the US before 142 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: most of the country even woke up that day. And 143 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: same with the Maduro thing. They went in at two am, 144 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 2: they had everything wrapped up by four am, and they 145 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: were out of country by four fifteen, and like it's over. 146 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: And the fact that we don't have any boots on 147 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 2: the ground, that we don't have you know, any extended 148 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 2: you know, involvement in being you know, in their territory 149 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,679 Speaker 2: is a genius thing. And it's something that the Bush 150 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: administration couldn't figure out. It's something that the Obama administration 151 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: couldn't figure out. It's something that Biden had no clue of, 152 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: because I don't think he had a clue about most things. 153 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: But you know, Trump has changed the calculus for the 154 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: bad people on the planet, and it's they're not going 155 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: to get to engage us in a long term, drawn 156 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: out struggle that's going to take our flesh and blood 157 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: and the souls of our best and brightest and destroy 158 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: them in forever wars. He's going to go in, he's 159 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: going to do exactly what the scalpel needs to find, 160 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: pull it out, Boom, it's over. And this is the 161 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: way every president should operate with these matters going forward, 162 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: because we don't need to be involved in tons of 163 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: land wars all over the planet and trying to settle 164 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: all these scores. Get done what we need done, and 165 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 2: then be done with it. 166 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 3: Be done with the Cold War, the back and forth stuff. 167 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 3: I mean, that's a bunch of like, really, listen, there's 168 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 3: two things about Trump that I love. One of these 169 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 3: I got from an NYPD detective. He said, you need 170 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 3: a wolf to catch a wolf. Correct. The other thing 171 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 3: came from our president's mouth, and he said, listen, if 172 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: I play nice, nobody's going to get the message. 173 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 2: Right. 174 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: You do it the first time, everyone gets the message. 175 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: And that's why Columbia, Cuba, and Mexico all came out 176 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 2: yesterday going well, okay, and he does. I'm with the 177 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: President on this. I think it's going to destroy the 178 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: rest of Cuba's infrastructure because they were so dependent upon 179 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: Venezuelan energy and now that's stopped so they don't have 180 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 2: a supplier for what they need. That country is not 181 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: going to the regime there is not going to last, 182 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: and we're not gonna have to do a thing, right. 183 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: I have to raise lift a finger. The people of 184 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: Cuba will take care of that on their own. Mexico 185 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: needs to be tougher with their cartels. Colombia needs to 186 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 2: shut them down as well. If they take care of 187 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 2: that on their own, then there's no worries about anything 188 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: from anybody else. You don't have to worry about it. 189 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 2: Just do what you need to do as a country, 190 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 2: and it all takes care of itself. That's the lesson 191 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 2: of this. Anyway. Hey, let's take a quick break. She's Lenda, 192 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 2: I'm Kevin.

All right, real quickly, we're talking about the 205 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: travelman's bands plural Linda. I got text from one of 206 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 2: my football text thread buddies on Sunday who's a Sad 207 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: Giants fan and they had such a horrible year and 208 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: he's texting me and he's like, he's like, I can't 209 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: even get the game down here. Like he sends a 210 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: text knowing what they're looking at and it's of course soccer, 211 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: and he's in Antigua, so he's like, we can't get out, 212 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: and said they shut all the airports down, and they 213 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: did for the for the majority of the rest of 214 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: the weekend, US people couldn't leave most of the Caribbean 215 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: islands that were down there because they were busy transporting 216 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 2: Maduro back to the US and getting everything squared away. 217 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: I think they have made it home since, so all 218 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: is good now. But countries kind of reacted to this 219 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: in different ways, including some trying to put trackful bands 220 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: on US citizens from coming to their country. How do 221 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: you how do you make out all this travel restrictions? 222 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 3: You know what's interesting? I was I told you the 223 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 3: piece I was looking at actually is this one? Because 224 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 3: this one is like antique, you say yourself, Antigua, Barbuda, Dominica. 225 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 3: Why right? Why? I mean they seem benign, don't they. 226 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 3: I mean they're not like neforious like islands, like we 227 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 3: got to worry about them. I think if you read 228 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 3: into the piece further, the reason he put a travel 229 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 3: ban on these countries is because he feels that they're 230 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 3: not and I agree, he feels that they're they're vetting 231 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: is not strong enough, and they're they're parameters for coming 232 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 3: and going are not strong enough. Now, I think this 233 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: is kind of a kin with most which is why 234 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 3: we visit these countries, Kevin. They're very relaxed and they 235 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 3: don't really think like we think. Right, So now I. 236 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 2: Think this is what terrorists and drug dealers use that 237 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 2: against us. 238 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 3: Well, here we go. I think this is congruent with 239 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 3: what's going on in Venezuela. So that is that that's 240 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: those are the restrictions and it's a shame because they 241 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 3: are beautiful countries. I mean, Barbuta is beautiful, Dominica is beautiful. 242 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: So it's it's a shame, but maybe we'll be able 243 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 3: to however, ps, I don't think i'd be going to 244 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 3: some destination like that right now. I just I wouldn't 245 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 3: feel safe. I wouldn't. 246 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, And parallel to all of this, the US has 247 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: leveled travel bands now on thirty nine countries, including Afghanistan, Mayan, 248 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 2: mar Chad, Congo. 249 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 4: Y Eriit, tree, Eritree, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, 250 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 4: Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, Burkina, Faso. 251 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 2: I don't even know what that is, Mally, Niger, South Sudan, 252 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: and Syria. Those are among the thirty nine. But again, 253 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 2: any country that I just listed that anybody's just like 254 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 2: dying to go to, like Afghanistan, I could live the 255 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: rest of my days and never said there, I'd be Okay. 256 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 3: We're like, why, like, why are we worried about some 257 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 3: of these countries? I mean, I guess because we have 258 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 3: so here we go again with the migrant issue, and 259 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 3: the immigration show. We have so many foreign nationals in 260 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 3: this car that probably have passed some kind of screening 261 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 3: or some kind of vetting where they can go in 262 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 3: and out of the United States pretty easily. Right, there's diplomats, 263 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 3: we have the un here, Kevin. You know, those people 264 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 3: do come here. So however, that being said, most of 265 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 3: the countries on that list, really I'm like, good, who cavers, 266 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 3: not really worried about Yeah about malle Afghanistan, Yemen, I mean, 267 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 3: who cares. But there are small faction of people that 268 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 3: do come in and out of here, Kevin, probably for business, 269 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 3: and that will affect them. 270 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: I don't hope. We hope that the people that are 271 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: coming are for business. The sad reality of nine eleven 272 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: is that people came for all kinds of reasons we 273 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 2: didn't know about. And it is incumbent upon the government 274 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: to do what it can and to protect us. That 275 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 2: is the first and foremost role of the fact or 276 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: government to protect its citizens. And sometimes you have to 277 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: just say to the world you don't it's and this 278 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 2: is the problem that I have with New York City 279 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: right now. You have a mayor, You have a mayor 280 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: who understands that a safe city and a prosperous city 281 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: and a thriving city is kind of all incumbent and 282 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: necessary for the city to continue to do well. So 283 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: you want people to come visit, You want them to 284 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: feel safe when they're here. You want them to spend 285 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 2: money in the hotels and on the Broadway shows and 286 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: in the restaurants and do all the stuff that makes 287 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: New York City New York City. And in the first 288 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: three days in office, he got the Taliban's lawyer as 289 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 2: his chief legal counsel. He's already started through his Housing 290 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: commissioner to say that they're going that the city's going 291 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 2: to insert itself into bankruptcy proceedings with landlords that have 292 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: not been paid some of them since the beginning of 293 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 2: COVID from their tenants, and they're they're going to try, 294 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: this is my prediction, They're going to try to take 295 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 2: these buildings away from these landlords, from the people that 296 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 2: rightfully own them, and they're going to try to turn 297 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: them into socialized housing. He's already said he's going to 298 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 2: do the same thing with groceries and a whole bunch 299 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: of other stuff. Let me just ask anybody who's listening 300 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 2: do you think that any of those policies make New 301 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: York safer, more exciting to be in and thriving in 302 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: a way that you're going to be able to be 303 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 2: a shining, happy place for people to come in the future. 304 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 3: Because I don't really think. I think that is what 305 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 3: he says is his goal is a way to bribe 306 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 3: people and to bring them in and to cajole them 307 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 3: into thinking, oh wow, this is great. Well, really, what 308 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 3: he's doing is exactly what He's creating a socialist atmosphere 309 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 3: for New York City, and that only invites migrants back 310 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 3: into the picture, definitely invites people that don't want to 311 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 3: work into the picture, freebies everything else while the rest. 312 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: Of us well and it consolidates power for him. So 313 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: the purpose of socialism and Marxism is never to actually 314 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 2: because this strange quote he used in the speech, we're 315 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 2: going to reject rugged individualism, which is probably the way 316 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 2: that New York got built. If you used one phrase 317 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: to say, how did New York go from being a 318 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: piece of granite to the most impressive skyscrapers on the world, 319 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 2: it's rugged individualism. People said, I'm going to build something 320 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 2: that goes all the way up there, and then they 321 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 2: went and did it. But we're going to reject that 322 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 2: for the warmth of collectivism. That nobody's ever been warmed 323 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 2: during collectivism. Nobody's ever had a good outcome. It's always 324 00:17:54,200 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 2: ended up in death, death camps, you know, horrific circumstances. 325 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: And what he has done, it's so weird to think 326 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: about this. You have Maduro, who is a Marxist socialist 327 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 2: who is on trial for becoming the end result of 328 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: what every Marxist socialist leader becomes. And you have the 329 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 2: mayor who just got elected who's touting all the stuff 330 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 2: that Maduro did, but he wants to do it to 331 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 2: New York.

Why because JFK is good looking, right, 338 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 3: and now people can see him, So people are dumb, Kevin, 339 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 3: people are dumb. 340 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 2: Okay, on that note, hold that thought we got to 341 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 2: come right back, she's I'm Kevin.

Linda, the just before we went to break, 348 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 2: you were like, people are dumb, and I had to 349 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: I had to cut you off at that point. What 350 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 2: what what? Where were you going? 351 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 3: So let me go with this because they're dumb in 352 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 3: the fact that we're suckers. Offer anything that looks good, right, 353 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 3: anything that presents itself well, could sell you your grandmother, 354 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 3: your mother. 355 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 2: Back, like Kevin Newsom would be a great president, even 356 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: though he's run California into the ground. 357 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 3: Right, But that's the whole point. 358 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: Right. 359 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 3: So the better looking you are, the more representative you 360 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 3: are of something that's that's shiny and new, the more 361 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 3: people you're going to sucker in. And the minority, the 362 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 3: educated people, the ones that are really looking at the 363 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 3: issues are really again the minority. Right, So we go 364 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 3: back to the debate between I was saying, I think 365 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 3: it was Nixon and Jack Key, And one of the 366 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 3: things they said was the phenomenon was that JFK was 367 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 3: this young, good looking guy, whereas prior to that we 368 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 3: only had radio broadcasts. So the issues were brought up 369 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 3: and people thought more about the issues, and we had 370 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: some really dead, ass ugly presidents that one because they 371 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 3: had good platforms. Right. So this is the thing, Donnie, 372 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 3: I can't even say his freaking name. I don't know why, 373 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 3: Kevin I can't do that, but I can't say his name. 374 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 3: So but anyway, he's nice looking, he's young, he's got 375 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: the young wife. They look good, they look New York. 376 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 3: So guess what he's going to play on that? And 377 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 3: that's how he got in. I'm telling you, what. 378 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 2: Do they call what do they call good looking short 379 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: guys these days? Tiny kings. He looks like a tiny king, 380 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 2: a tiny king. 381 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 3: Mom, Donnie, I can't even say his name. 382 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 2: Zoron, the tiny king. 383 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 3: That's how Zoron got in. 384 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, well, that and fifty thousand volunteers of 385 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 2: college kids that are disillusioned with their futures, and a 386 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 2: lot of George Soros money propping up the whole mechanism. 387 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 3: So you know what we have to go. This is Kevin. 388 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: I'm going to say this, and I'm a mom of eight, 389 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 3: and I'm going to tell you if you can't drink, 390 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 3: you can't vote. There it is twenty one. Maybe you 391 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 3: can make a decision at eighteen. At eighteen, please, You're 392 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 3: so easily influenced. 393 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 2: They're also the least consistent voting block in the. 394 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 3: Country, of course they are. 395 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 2: So it's in the fact that, well, what's really scary 396 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 2: about what he did is that you had more people 397 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 2: volunteering for his campaign than you've had some mayoral candidates 398 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 2: get votes for like they were paid. Okay, this was 399 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: just a huge staff that they passed money around and 400 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 2: got people to go door to door. I knew people 401 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 2: in Brooklyn in the primary when it was you know, 402 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: him and Cuomo and the others competing for the Democratic 403 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 2: nod and they got they got their door knocked on 404 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: eight times in the primary cycle, eight times from the 405 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: Mamdani camp and didn't get a single door knock from 406 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 2: any of the others. Well, eight to one or eight 407 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 2: to none. That's a lot of energy that you know, 408 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 2: he was putting into the ether, and it's not that 409 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: he has ideas that most New Yorkers embraced. They don't. 410 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 2: But he got enough people in a very low turnout 411 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 2: election cycle, which the mayor's race in New York is 412 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 2: always a low turnout, it's not like a presidential race, 413 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 2: and with a small majority of those who turn out, 414 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 2: you can become the mayor of the most important city 415 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 2: on the planet. And it's a more powerful position than 416 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 2: the governor of New York. It's a more powerful position 417 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 2: than almost any mayorship on the globe. And they did it. 418 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: The Marxists figured out how to crack the system, and 419 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 2: they did it. What will New Yorkers do four years 420 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 2: from now when a lot of these systems have been changed, 421 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: and now you don't have the ability to just pick 422 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 2: up from wherever Adam's left off. You've got to undo 423 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 2: all of the stuff that they've put in place. Because 424 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 2: he's not putting moderates in any of these positions. Every 425 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 2: person he's appointed so far. The fire commissioner, complete imbecile, 426 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 2: doesn't know what she's doing, never worked today of fire 427 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 2: fighting in our life. The top chief council for the 428 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 2: city is now the guy who defended al Qaeda in 429 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 2: court and the woman that took over the housing department, 430 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: she's already involved in these cases where they're going in 431 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 2: and they're saying to these landlords, we're going to take 432 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 2: these buildings from you. And it didn't take them long. 433 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 2: Three days and they're already they're already on offense on 434 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 2: all these fronts. 435 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 3: Well, that's because people are already wrapped up in him. 436 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 3: They were wrapped up in him before he even won 437 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 3: the election. He knew it, and he listened for Trump 438 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 3: to come out and say, I'd rather have a bad 439 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 3: Democrat than a socialist in there, like he was ready 440 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 3: to work with Cuomo. Cuomo is the dirt of dirts. 441 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 2: I mean, he's also lazy. I'd never seen a worse 442 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 2: campaigner than Andrew Cuomo when he campaigned for mayor. Like, 443 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 2: I don't know how he wont governor. 444 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 3: Because he's such a narcissist and he really thought, all 445 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 3: I got to do is step into the ring. 446 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 2: Just my name, my name will do it, right, that's it. 447 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 3: His father was a class act. 448 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 2: Didn't work exactly the same way for the sun.

It is 498 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 3: the place to go to have a beautiful vacation and 499 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 3: imbibe in everything there without breaking your wallet. So it's 500 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 3: a very popular destination right now. And let me just 501 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 3: say Travel and Leisure, all these other magazines, I get it. 502 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 3: They promote things for a reason, right there's always a 503 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 3: backstory to why they're promoting it. So Portugal, right now, 504 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 3: they're saying the number one street in Porto with Porto's 505 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 3: beautiful is rouaw De bone Jardine, and it's one of 506 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 3: the top spots, and it's the number one street in Europe. 507 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 3: And because it has a fantastic location near the city center, okay, 508 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 3: far from chaos, it said, right lined with old with new, 509 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 3: with restaurants, with bars, with shops, and if you look 510 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 3: at some of the pictures, it looks absolutely so quaint. 511 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 3: Although ps Kevin, we don't know what it looks like 512 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 3: in the crowded summer. The pictures that they presented were 513 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 3: absolutely beautiful. And I know that our office just went 514 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 3: there because they did what we call a fan trip, 515 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 3: a familiarization trip. Water was on that trip and it's 516 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 3: one of the most beautiful countries and I'm really excited 517 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 3: that we're going to be partnering with port. 518 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 2: Did you say your daughter or son went my daughter 519 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 2: Winter daughter? And how how how did she compare it 520 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: to say other places that she's really liked. 521 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 3: Keaven, their brainwashed my kids. 522 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 2: You know they're so biased to Italy, is what you're saying, 523 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 2: or it's not. 524 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 3: That's a Mario would even say. I've been all around 525 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 3: the world and I still come back to Italy and 526 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 3: that's the true thing for me. 527 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 2: Earlier did New. 528 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 3: World, when the Coppery or the Magic Kingdom. I don't know, Kevin, 529 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 3: it's a hard call. 530 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think in my house it would be 531 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: again if all, if all things were equal, they would 532 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 2: take Italy in a heartbeat perfect. 533 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 3: I know, I know, I know, I don't. 534 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 2: So what's the criteria for being the coolest street? This 535 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: is what I want to know, Like, because I'm seeing 536 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 2: one picture at the top of the story, and you 537 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: know it's it looks nice, but it looks like a 538 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 2: typical kind of European walking community like Sorrento has a 539 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: dozen streets that look like that. 540 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 3: To me, Yes, but no, So what they're saying is 541 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 3: that they there's a combination here of everything kind of 542 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 3: being in one spot. Right, Like I said, there's art, 543 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 3: there's culture, there's food, there's fashion, there's shopping. There's a 544 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:55,479 Speaker 3: combination of old with the ancient, and that apparently is 545 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 3: what beckons them to say, Okay, we're going to give 546 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 3: it to Rue de Beaujardain this year, as opposed to 547 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 3: like you wouldn't give it to the Eventado. 548 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: Right. 549 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 3: I love the Aventato in Rome, but it doesn't have 550 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 3: that quaint ness, right, it doesn't have everything's very spread out. 551 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 3: I think here things are concentrated on one street, and 552 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 3: also to it's very walkable, So that's what they're looking at. 553 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 3: And again, Kevin, they pick things from year to year 554 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 3: that are different, and right now, Portugal is very affordable, 555 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 3: and I think travel Leisure takes that into consideration when 556 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 3: they do a piece of life. 557 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 2: When you say it's affordable, Like what's the difference between 558 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 2: Portugal and France or Portugal and leaders. 559 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 3: They're all using euro so I don't know specifically, but 560 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 3: I always say the dollar will go further in some 561 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 3: of these countries then they will go in other countries. 562 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 2: I was actually shocked, quite surprised at how reasonable London 563 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 2: was for the three days that we were there, because 564 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 2: and our hotel was probably I mean, if if I'm 565 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 2: transferring to dollars, it was probably it was comparable to 566 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 2: like Manhattan in terms of hotels. I think it was 567 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 2: about three fifty maybe four. 568 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 3: Hundreds extensive ke have you got to remember we are 569 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 3: so conditioned because of where we. 570 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 2: Are, right but three D four hundred a night in 571 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: Manhattan since COVID is significantly down from where it was, 572 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 2: you know, before COVID, And I know that some hotels 573 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 2: are much more than that now, but this was this 574 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 2: was in the Kensington area, which is really close to 575 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 2: the Royal Albert Hall and the shopping at Mayfair and 576 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 2: all those places. And I was surprised at how I mean, 577 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 2: I found that to be really reasonable. And then the 578 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 2: food and stuff wasn't out of sight, you know expensive, 579 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 2: so like it's British food, so it's like, you know, okay, 580 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 2: if you like fish and chips, then it's good, but 581 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 2: you're not going to get the the food you're going 582 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 2: to get in Italy. But you know, I think Europe 583 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 2: as a whole is still a little bit of a 584 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 2: bargain compared to where it was a few years ago, 585 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 2: but I could be off on. 586 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 3: That, yeah, but I think see. 587 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 2: So so when you're saying Portugal is even better than that, 588 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 2: you're saying it really is like discounting. 589 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 3: That's exactly when Britain came back. She's like, you could 590 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 3: go so far on like twenty dollars, you could spend 591 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 3: one hundred dollars a day and eat like a like 592 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 3: a king, you know, And so I get it, and 593 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 3: that's why it doesn't listen. The Euro, I think helped 594 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 3: to maintain some kind of homeostasis with money, right because 595 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 3: before the Euro came into play, everyone had their own currency, right, 596 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 3: so those governments could kind of control. 597 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 2: It really helped the smaller countries. Britain never fell in 598 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 2: love with it, and that's why they're back on the pound. 599 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 2: But it's one of those things, all right. When we 600 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 2: come back, it is Perillo Pointers Time, first one of 601 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Stay here. 602 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: Once again from New York. Here's Radio night Life and Kevin. 603 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 2: McCullough final few minutes of travel Tuesday with you, Kevin 604 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 2: McCullough and Linda Perillo, back and running on our first 605 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 2: opportunity here in the new year. So glad that you're 606 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 2: with us and Linda this next story. I ran into 607 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 2: it a lot, not just in our travels to Italy 608 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 2: this summer, but as I was going down to Washington, 609 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 2: d C. And then to London or in the Christmas cycle. 610 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 2: Ran into this over and over again. And it's something 611 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 2: that I've always thought I was being a good guy 612 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 2: by doing it. But tell us what they're talking about. 613 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 3: Well, it vacillates Kevin. Apparently from airport to airport is that? 614 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 3: And here's the question, are you a bad traveler if 615 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 3: you stack empty bins at airport security? So one traveler 616 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 3: was saying that he just does this, and one TSA 617 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 3: agent thanked him as if he had just saved a 618 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 3: cat from a tree. Again, these other ones, So it's 619 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 3: akin to the returning the cart theory at the store, 620 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 3: like it shows your level of etiquette to want to 621 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 3: help the next person and to help the people that 622 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 3: are employed there. But Salt Lake City says, no, you 623 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 3: are not helping us. Let us do it. That's like 624 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 3: the moment. 625 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 2: It must be a union thing. But here's the thing. So, 626 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 2: and this drives me nuts. It drives me batty. You're 627 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 2: sitting there, you're waiting for your stuff to come out 628 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 2: of the X ray. You're in your socks because they 629 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 2: made you take your shoes out. You're standing there on 630 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 2: that nasty airport floor and you're and you're waiting for it. 631 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 2: And everybody cleans out their stuff from the bends in 632 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 2: front of you and leaves the bends on the on 633 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 2: the on the belt so that none of the trays 634 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 2: come out any further. And so what do you do. 635 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 2: You go down and you start stacking them up. And 636 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,359 Speaker 2: because the jerks that got their stuff out didn't even 637 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 2: want to put their one single bind into the stack 638 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 2: at the end of the belt, and so now it's 639 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 2: stuff for somebody else to go do ten or twelve 640 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 2: of them just so you can get your stuff. 641 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, So what is it is? It's a win, 642 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 3: it's I don't know, it's a wind lose kind of proposition. 643 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 3: It's a what a. 644 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: General rule of thumb is, just be kind, take care 645 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 2: of your. 646 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 3: I agree, listen, haven't you listen? We've all cursed the 647 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 3: person out in front of us who isn't ready. It's 648 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 3: like the person a dairy queen who's been forty people 649 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 3: deep in the line and then they get up to 650 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 3: order what they want. You're on the security line, don't 651 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 3: you know what's next on people? So I understand that 652 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 3: frustration of that person in front of you.
