1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: You're ahead of the game just for being here.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 2: It's marks alone on sevent tenor.

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 3: Well, it's Friday Opening day at Yankee Stadium today, at

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 3: the big event every year. It's gonna be nice. It

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 3: should be nice later today, sun'll come out. It should

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 3: be nice tomorrow. It looks like rain on Easter Sunday.

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 3: The Easter Parade takes place on Fifth Avenue forty ninth

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: to fifty seventh Street, but it looks like it'll rain

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: throughout the parade on Sunday. So Iran is claiming it's

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: shot down a US fighter jet and that the pilot

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: is missing. Now this has not been confirmed by anybody.

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 3: This is Iran claiming. List They put out a picture

13
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: of the jet they shot down, saying it's an F

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: thirty five, but US officials looking at it say it's

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: clearly not. They can tell from the pieces it's an

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: F fifteen. And it should be pointed out Iran has

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 3: a history of claiming to have shot down the US

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 3: jets when they didn't, So we don't know if this

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: is real or not real. And again Iran has light

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: about it before. If it's true the pilot is missing,

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: Iran has said to their public. They will pay a

22
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: huge reward for anybody that can find the American pilot

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: and turn him in. The US has launched a search

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: operation inside Iran. Now again. Iran has a history of

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 3: claiming to have shot down a US plane when they haven't.

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: But I would imagine that our military knows where all

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: their planes are, and I would imagine they can tell

28
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: if they've lost a plane or not lost the plane.

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: And they do say there is a search operation underway.

30
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: So we'll keep on top of that for you. Tiger Woods. Well,

31
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: he got permission to leave the country to go get treatment,

32
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: big big rehabilitation, rehab tree and overseas, which will get

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: him out of the spotlight, he hopes for a long time.

34
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: More and more coming out about at the scene. The

35
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: cops show up. They know immediately who he is, and

36
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: they talked to him. They're going to do some test,

37
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: you know, you walk the line and all that kind

38
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: of stuff. But they asked him to wait in the

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: car while they go do some stuff. And apparently at

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: one point he got out of the car and started

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: wandering a little and he wandered down the road and

42
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: he picked you know, he's on his phone. He was

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: making some sort of a phone call, wandering down the

44
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: road away from them, making this phone call, and then

45
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: he wandered back, and as he got back towards the cops,

46
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: they can hear him saying into the phone, well, thank

47
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: you so much, all right, you got it. Bye, And

48
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: he then said to the cops, Wow, I was just

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: talking with the president.

50
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: Now.

51
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: Is that to impress the cops? I was just talking

52
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: to the President of the United States. That generally, I mean,

53
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: it's impressive you're talking to the president of United States.

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: It's been a situation like that. It's more confusing the

55
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: cops now. They don't know whether you're lying, what to

56
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: think of you? Why are you telling him? This a

57
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: strange thing to say, really strange thing to say. But

58
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: if you look at outside of that, you look at

59
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: the bodycam footage, there's nothing really bad in there. At

60
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: one point where they put him in the car to

61
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: take them away, you can hear him say, this is fun,

62
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: all right. I guess he's being sarcastic with himself. So

63
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: he wasn't drunk. He took a breathalyzer. There was no

64
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: alcohol in his system, so it's not like he was.

65
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: You know, look really drunk. He did have trouble with

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: They give you this test. We got to walk a

67
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: straight line. Have you ever tried that?

68
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 5: Go?

69
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: Try it totally sober. It's hard to do. He wasn't

70
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: good on the test, but those tests are very hard

71
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: to do. It's really tough. But we won't hear much

72
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: about it.

73
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: Now.

74
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: He'll go overseas to some rehab center. I don't know

75
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: where it's going to be. He'll go away for months

76
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: and months. Who knows, maybe they'll never come back. But

77
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: he's going to try to just stay over there as

78
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: long as possible avoid this trial, which could send him

79
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: to jail. And when you're on your third or fourth efense,

80
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: you most likely will go to jail. And then the

81
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 3: lawyers behind the scenes will try to try to work

82
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: out something. And we were talking about the ballroom before

83
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: President Trump. This was great. He was talking about no kings,

84
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 3: they call me king. Now do you believe it? No King,

85
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: I'm such your king. I can't get a ballroom approved.

86
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: So it is strange that he can't get this ballroom approved.

87
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 3: It's a great idea. Presidents have always wanted the ballroom.

88
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: It's kind of stupid that we don't have a place

89
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: to hold a big event at the White House. They

90
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: get if they do a big event, they got to

91
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: put a tent on the lawn, and it looks like

92
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: a cheesy wedding in Long Island. So the ballroom's a

93
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: good idea, and if you're going to do it, you

94
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: got it. You might as well do it when you

95
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: got the greatest ballroom builder in the world in the

96
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 3: White House.

97
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 6: Part of his opinion.

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: Now the court rules against it and says he has

99
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: no authority to do it. But he's got a good

100
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: point here. It's not a government expense. If the government

101
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: we're paying for it. If he was going to use

102
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 3: the government's money, maybe then you should get congressional approval.

103
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: But there's no government money part of his opinion.

104
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 6: But basically he's saying I need congressional approval, and.

105
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: He's so wrong.

106
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 6: This is being financed privately. It's a donation that's being

107
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 6: given by companies, very rich companies, very rich people. The

108
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 6: ballroom is a donation. It's gotten great reviews, people love it,

109
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 6: and presidents for one hundred and fifty years have wanted

110
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 6: this ballroom to be built.

111
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: So I guess the again it's a crazy left wing judge.

112
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: He's got a bow tie on, he's got those bizarre eyebrows.

113
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: He's a weird looking guy, left wing, you know, an

114
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: NPR listening ms NOW type of a judge. So he's

115
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: just out to stop President Trump from doing anything. But

116
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: I guess the argument would be because the judge said,

117
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: he's he doesn't own the White House, he's merely the steward.

118
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: So in other words, if I guess, what he's saying is,

119
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: if you rent an Airbnb, you don't have the right

120
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: to remodel the house while you're there, build an addition

121
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: onto it. It's not your house. I guess that's what

122
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: he said. But who says Congress has the right over

123
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: the White House? You know, it's supposed to be a

124
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 3: separation of powers, three branches of government. Why would the

125
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: legislative branch be allowed to determine what the executive branch does.

126
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 3: The executive branch controls the White House, I guess, And

127
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 3: so the argument is to stop Now, there have been

128
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: plenty of changes to the White House without Congressional approval.

129
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: You know who it was, it FDR. Somebody decided they

130
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: want a pool, so they took one room and built

131
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: a swimming pool right in the White House, big swimming

132
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: pool without congressional approval, and a lot of stuff happened

133
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 3: in that pool. That's where JFK had those two hookers

134
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: come and swa with him, Pixie and Dixie or whatever

135
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: their names were. That's where Lyndon Johnson would swim, you know,

136
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: That's where Joe Biden would go swimming when he was

137
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: I think when he was vice president or president he would,

138
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: but he would. This is kind of disgusting. Joe Biden

139
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: would swim naked. And part of his secret Service detail

140
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: where female, and they hated looking at him naked. It

141
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: was awkward, it was inappropriate, and you see how shriveled

142
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: up he looks on the outside. When an old prune

143
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: can imagine having a look at Joe Biden naked swimming

144
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: in the pool. President Trump comes in and has no

145
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: use for a swimming pool, and he has it covered

146
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: up and he builds the press room was not very big.

147
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: They didn't have a big press room, so he decides

148
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: to build a better one and they cover up the

149
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: pool and build it over the swimming pool. Now all

150
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: of this is without congressional approval. A lot of things

151
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: are done without congressional approval. You could argue, well, the

152
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: ballroom is different, it's so massive, it's almost the same,

153
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: sie is the whole White House. It's such a big change.

154
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: But again, if you're allowed to change stuff without congressional approval,

155
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: I think you'll win this in the end. He should

156
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: win this in the end. To see you'll get these

157
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: crazy judges. I mean's the kind of thing. I'll go

158
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: to the Supreme Court and it'll probably come down to

159
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: executive branch can do this without congressional approval. It's their building.

160
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: Congress you know, changes things. Sometimes, they'll make a big

161
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: change in the Capitol building. They'll build something new, they'll

162
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 3: add a wing, they'll change the entrance. They'll do it.

163
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: They don't have to go get executive branch approval. They

164
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: don't have to get approval from the president. So it

165
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 3: should work both ways. So now, who would you say

166
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: if you ask Sharon Stone? Now, think of Sharon Stone.

167
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: She's made a lot of movies with a lot of people.

168
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: If you asked her who is the greatest kisser in Hollywood?

169
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: Who would she pick out of all her leading men?

170
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 3: Sharon Stone, Well, she was asked that on Radio Andy

171
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: podcast yesterday. Without hesitation, she said, Robert de Niro. She said,

172
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 3: Robert de Niro the best kisser in the business. He

173
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: was the greatest kisser. Sharon Stone, now sixty eight, said,

174
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: and Casino, there were a couple of scenes where the

175
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: kiss he gave her was unbelievable. It said he just

176
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: kissed her right out of her shoes. In fact, there

177
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 3: was one where the kiss was unbelievable. And then Scorsese said,

178
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 3: that's good, that's good, or do you want to do

179
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 3: another text? She goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another text.

180
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: She so, Hey, it's possible de Niro could be the

181
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: greatest kisser in how it's possible. Not the brightest guy

182
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 3: in the world. But he's now eighty two. No response

183
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 3: from him yet. She also did say he was an

184
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: actor that I admired the most. He was the actor

185
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: I admired most and wanted to act with. So she

186
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: kind of idolized the guy. Sometimes the kiss is better

187
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: if it's a guy you happen to idolize. That can

188
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: make a big differen Hey, you're going to see crime

189
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: numbers coming down, mom. Donnie will take credit for that,

190
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 3: and he deserves credit because he's figured out a way

191
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: to bring the crime numbers down. Change the way you

192
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: count them, changed the system for counting them. It's like

193
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: the anti Semitic hate crimes. He brought the number down

194
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: by changing the way they count them. He used to

195
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: count them by whenever anybody calls nine to one one

196
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: because of an anti Semitic attack, that counts. Now he's

197
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: changed it too. There's a committee that will decide if

198
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: it was a hate crime or not, and they'll tell

199
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 3: you if it counts. Same thing with the crime statistics.

200
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 3: You can change the way they count them, and that

201
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: can bring the number down. But that doesn't stop from

202
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: bragging about it.

203
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: Each of these numbers paint a picture of a safer,

204
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: more welcoming city for our fellow New Yorkers, and they

205
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: tell a story that statistics can never fully capture. Countless

206
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: subway rides, evening walks, and trips to the park that

207
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: ended exactly as they should have, boringly without incidents.

208
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, well again, Hey, the crime is pretty good for

209
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 3: if you're out there in the suburbs or out there

210
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: somewhere in America. You're listening to think, so it's too

211
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 3: dangerous to Most of Manhattan is very, very safe. There's

212
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: not a lot of crime here. There is a crime

213
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: in New York, but it's contained mostly in eight precincts.

214
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: If you're in the middle of Manhattan, if you haven't

215
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: been here in years, and you come into right here

216
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: in Midtown and walk around, it's absolutely fine. Looks like

217
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: it looks like it always looked. Mom Donnie get into

218
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: a huge fight with the city council. We got really lucky.

219
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: You get the craziest, most left wing kook of a

220
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: socialist mayor elected. We got really lucky that somehow the

221
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: city council. I mean, they're going to elect a Democrat

222
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: to be their speaker. It's always gonna be a Democrat.

223
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: But we got really lucky. They picked a moderate, common

224
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: sense Democrat, Julie men and she has stood up to

225
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie on a lot of things. Mom Donnie wants

226
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 3: to go crazy raising taxes, raising property taxes. It's absolutely insane.

227
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: All you do is lose people and you lose revenue.

228
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 3: Every time you raise tax and raised property tax, you'll

229
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: lose revenue. People leave. You know, if you were one

230
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 3: of these states, Texas, Florida, there's a lot of states

231
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 3: where they got rid of all the taxes, and all

232
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: of a sudden they take in twice as much money

233
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: because everybody starts moving there, business booms, the economy grows.

234
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: But when he wanted to do this crazy tax raise

235
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: and he's got his army ready to go to albillion

236
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: push for it, city council speaker Julie Mennon stands up

237
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: to him and said, if you got a five billion

238
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: dollar deficit in your budget, which is out of one

239
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty eight billion, you cut five billion and costs.

240
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: You don't raise the taxes, that'll just make you lose money.

241
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: You cut costs, and she proposed a whole bunch of

242
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: it's easy to do. Most of that budget is waist

243
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: fraud bloat. You could cut the budget in half easily

244
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: without cutting any services. It's just all the waste in fraud.

245
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: So she proposed some minor cuts and he went nuts.

246
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie made a video, a bunch of videos. That's

247
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: what he does best. He's not a management guy, doesn't

248
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: know how to run anything, but he's an Instagram guy.

249
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: He's a TikTok guy. So he went out and made

250
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: videos attacking this, saying that it's a doomsday scenario. City

251
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 3: services would be cut. Everybody's going to starve to death.

252
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: He put out all these videos and then she just

253
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: lashed out at him. This is deeply misleading, potentially harmful.

254
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: Even Democrats started to attack. Mom Donnie said, I thought

255
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 3: this would be different. I thought things would be better.

256
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: So Mom Donnie got a hell of a backlash even

257
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 3: from Democrats for his crazy, over the top videos. And

258
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: even the Socialists aren't backing him on this, so that's

259
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: pretty good news. Even the socialists have attacked him on this. Now,

260
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: the mayor's videos he put up got two and a

261
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: half million views. That's pretty good. But a council source

262
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 3: also said, besides the backlash, Mom Donnie is burning a

263
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 3: lot of bridges with lawmakers. This is standard stuff. Budget

264
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: negotiation is pretty standard. You don't burn your bridges over this. Hey, Well,

265
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two one

266
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three two

267
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 3: one zero seven ten.

268
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 7: If you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio app, save time,

269
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 7: and that's the preset button. Now, now back to the

270
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 7: Mark Simone show on woor.

271
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: Hey, let's take some calls Let's go to UH Dominic,

272
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: North Carolina Dominic. How you doing.

273
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, Hey, good morning, Mark, Happy Easter.

274
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: Listen.

275
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 8: I love your show, and I usually all love Ed Rollins,

276
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 8: but he always comes to things from a political perspective.

277
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 8: I would say there's more important things than just a

278
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 8: midterm election. It would think to lose it, but we

279
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 8: got to finish this thing in Iran. There's two important

280
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 8: principles at stake. Number one, we cannot let them have

281
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 8: nuclear weapons, and number.

282
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: Two, I think we're kind of working on that now

283
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: as we speak. I think as we speak we're trying

284
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: to do it.

285
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I mean it doesn't.

286
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 3: Help a right. You got to calm down. You get

287
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 3: yourself a little riled up there, Calm down, Calm down.

288
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 3: We're working on Iran. We're doing everything we can do

289
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: right now.

290
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 8: Pat problem is being sign and it may even take

291
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 8: a little bit of sacrifice.

292
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: People like to get mad, they like to be angry,

293
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: like them, Well, just take it easy, Calm down, We're

294
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: working on Iran as we speak. Let's go to Dave

295
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: in Chicago. Dave, how you doing, Good morning, Mark.

296
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 5: I'm doing very well, Thank you. Mark.

297
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 10: In regard to restaurants, outside of the major holidays. I'm

298
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 10: wondering where is their main revenue center. I'd have to

299
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 10: guess it would be two things beside dishes because everything's

300
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 10: ala carte, and probably alcohol.

301
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. Used to be alcohol. The profit margin

302
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: was much higher on alcohol than food. But that was

303
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 3: years ago. That was years ago. Once you once the

304
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: alcohol changed, you know, once there were like twenty seven

305
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: fancy vodkas and nine thousand different fancy dreams, the cost

306
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 3: went up. So the profit margins pretty similar are in

307
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: food or alcohol. So you can make just as much

308
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: money on food. Here's the thing, when you go to it,

309
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: like a steakhouse today, because of the inflation and all

310
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: that stuff, a steak is a ridiculous price. You go

311
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: to a steakhouse, the steak could be eighty dollars, eighty

312
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: five dollars. It's unbelievable, and you think the restaurant's greedy.

313
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: They're really not. That's how much they're paying for steak.

314
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 9: Now.

315
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: One of the reason it's not just inflation. One of

316
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: the reasons is there's a cattle shortage. So the restaurant,

317
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 3: if you order an eighty five dollars steak, the restaurant

318
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: is probably not making any money, believe it or not.

319
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 3: The cost on that steak is so high they're not

320
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: making any money. But if you order a side dish,

321
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: if you order broccoli or spinach or mashed potatoes, that's

322
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: where they make a fortune because they'll charge you fifteen

323
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 3: dollars and the cost is like forty cents. So if

324
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 3: you go order the biggest steak on the menu, they're

325
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: not too thrilled with you. But if the person with

326
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: you doesn't order a main course and orders four side dishes,

327
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: thrilled with that person, because that's now nowadays where all

328
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 3: the profit is. Let's go to Paul in Roslin, Long Island. Paul,

329
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 3: how you doing good?

330
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: Mark? How are you today?

331
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 3: I'm good. You got a great stake there. You got

332
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: Hendrix's tavern there, right, you're right.

333
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: Just a question about a different subject. Have you watched

334
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: the JFK Junior Carolyn Pissett series ons Y recently?

335
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 3: Yes?

336
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 2: And what do you think about it?

337
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 3: Well? I knew the guy, I didn't know her. I

338
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: knew him pretty well. It's not entirely accurate. It's very

339
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: well done, very well done. This were the locations. Everything

340
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 3: is very accurate. The acting is phenomenal, but they're leaving

341
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 3: out a lot of stuff. He was an incredible womanizer.

342
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: He was, as people used to say, a hit it

343
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: and quit it kind of a guy. If he went

344
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: through millions of women. He was not the soft, sensitive

345
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 3: guy they portray. They left out that part of it. Also,

346
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: he was ridiculously reckless and careless with his own life

347
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 3: in other people's life. So I come across to you

348
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: in that series.

349
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And the other thing I noticed is that the

350
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: amount of smoking that she did was incredible. She's basically

351
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: has a cigarette in her mouth in every scene.

352
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there was a lot of people back then,

353
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 3: you know, you back then, everybody smoked everywhere in every restaurant.

354
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 3: Everybody's smoking. Go watch the The Tonight Show from nineteen

355
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: seventy three, Johnny smoking. Everybody's smoking. But that JFK. You know,

356
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: if you look back at that plane crash to saying, oh,

357
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 3: what a tragedy of the plane, it was the most

358
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 3: reckless thing in the world. Again, he was a daredevil

359
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: and reckless that plane, that flight. He wasn't qualified to

360
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 3: fly that flight. He wasn't certified to fly in low visibility.

361
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 3: He had a broken foot that day, which meant he

362
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 3: couldn't work the pedals on the plane properly. No business

363
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 3: making that flight. He was so bad as a he'd

364
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: been a pilot for about twelve minutes and he's trying

365
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: to fly through fog over the ocean. He almost hit

366
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 3: an American Airlines jet and when he took off, he

367
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: just didn't know what he was doing. He flew into

368
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,239
Speaker 3: the air quarridor of an American Airlines plane. Luckily they

369
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 3: were professional pilots and were able to evade him, but

370
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 3: otherwise he was just ridiculously reckless, killed his wife, killed

371
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: her sister. Just awful. Let's go to Chris and Bethpage, Chris,

372
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 3: how you doing, Hey? Good? Mark?

373
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 5: Just about JFK.

374
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: They said it was so bad he thought he was

375
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: flying parallel to the water when he was actually flying

376
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 3: straight down into it. That's what the crash proved. So

377
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 3: that was just insane. Yeah, it was a horrible, horrible,

378
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 3: reckless guy. And the National Transportation Safety Board report came

379
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: out totally blamed all of this him for everything. The

380
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: family of the wife used that report to sue the Kennedys,

381
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 3: and they did get I think twenty million in a

382
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 3: settlement over it. Yeah, yeah, all right, thanks for Colin.

383
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 3: Let's go to Let's go to Nolan in New Jersey. Nolan,

384
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 3: how you doing well? Thanks?

385
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 9: I saw that Democratic governors like Mikey Sheryl they're going

386
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 9: to fight Trump on his new executive voter or on

387
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 9: mail in ballots that would require a post office to

388
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 9: only send ballots to eligible citizens. What could their argument

389
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 9: be against Trump on this?

390
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: Oh? Well, they will fight Trump on anything and everything.

391
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 3: If he says it's Friday, they will fight him on that.

392
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 3: They just fight Trump on anything. Listening to the words

393
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 3: of John Fetterman.

394
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 9: Who do you think leads the Democratic Party today?

395
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 11: Oh, we don't. We don't have one. I think the TDS.

396
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 11: I think that's the leader right now. You know, right

397
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 11: now our party is governed by the TDS.

398
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 3: Trump derangement syndrome. That's all they got. That's what consumes them,

399
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 3: obsesses them. Twenty four to seven. Let's go to Vincent

400
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing, Good.

401
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 4: Morning, Marcom, Okay, good morning, Mara. I have to respectfully

402
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 4: disagree with Ed Rollins what he said about Trump's speech.

403
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 4: I thought it was one of Trump's better speeches. It

404
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 4: was very concise. He hit all the bullet points. And

405
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 4: also because of the time difference between New York and

406
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 4: in the middle of the country, people were just sitting

407
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 4: down to have their dinner and they heard Trump's speech

408
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 4: and all the reasons why we're there, mainly to save

409
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 4: our children and grandchildren from those maniacs flying intercontinental missiles

410
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: into our cities and everything. And I think Trump is

411
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 4: going to win on this whole ballroom issue because, as

412
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 4: you pointed out a number of years ago, about twenty

413
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 4: years ago, I went to it and was very The

414
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 4: people had money and everything. They weren't cheesy. I went

415
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 4: to an outdoor wedding out in Long Island. They had

416
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 4: those tents and canopies, and when the sun went down,

417
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 4: the flies came out, the mosquitoes they were eating people alive.

418
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 4: They were everywhere. I mean, uh, it was horrible. I mean,

419
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 4: you want to compare that with in Europe and especially

420
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 4: in Italy and France when they have these state dinners

421
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 4: there there you are huge, huge ballrooms. You mongus uh,

422
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: beautiful palaces and everything, and you're gonna have people the

423
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 4: stupid judge in Washington. You're gonna have people going and

424
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 4: porter sands on the lawn where women wearing full length

425
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 4: gowns and heels and people dressed to the nine. What's

426
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 4: the matter with this judge just because he looks like

427
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 4: some pig from uh M, PR and PR and PBS

428
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 4: with that bow tie on, and it's all can't Donald

429
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 4: Trump just ignore that order?

430
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: Markets? Well, see he's gonna appeal. It'll go to another corney. Vincent,

431
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: great call, thanks for calling Hill the Hill appeal. Yeah,

432
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 3: that's another Vincent makes a great point there when you

433
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 3: the White House doing these massive dinners out on the

434
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: lawn in a tent. You're right in the summer, it's

Speaker 5: all sorts of construction and traffic and yeah like that.

458
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,879

00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: So obviously we have a good future, don't we.

462
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 5: means First Avenue, and you know, first Avenue, second Avenue,

463
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 5: third Avenue, is like a building going up on every corner,

464
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 5: it seems.

465
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. Also, you got massive skyscrapers, real tall, but going

466
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 3: up Park Avenue in the fifty third this, yeah, fifty eighth.

467
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 3: So everybody's investing in New York. And what about some

468
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 3: of these empty office buildings converting him to apartments? Is

469
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: that going to actually happen?

470
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's unbelievable. I mean, there are so

471
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 5: many buildings that are being converted to apartments now. When

472
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 5: this trend started some years ago, it was mostly you know,

473
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 5: these old, antiquated, beat up, old buildings down in the

474
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 5: you know, Wall Street area that they were antique, nobody

475
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 5: wanted them anymore. But now this has spread way uptown

476
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 5: all over Midtown. There are buildings that aren't even that

477
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 5: old that are being turned into apartments. For example, one

478
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 5: thirty five East fifty seventh Street, corner of Lexington Avenue.

479
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 5: That's a modern, modern building. It went up in the

480
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 5: late eighties and it's being converted to apartments. So there's

481
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 5: plenty of that going on.

482
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, And these guys wouldn't do that if they didn't

483
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: have people demand. So and it's rental apartments are going

484
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 3: crazy right now, isn't that true?

485
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they're crazy. If everybody's complaining oh, you

486
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 5: can't get an apartment for less than four thousand a month. True,

487
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 5: true enough, to which I say, half tongue in cheek,

488
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 5: take a second job, you know, quit whining.

489
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, so hey, the dining. Outdoor dining began this week.

490
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 3: They're allowed. Now are these sheds going to come back?

491
00:25:59,240 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: All over the side?

492
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 5: I've lost track of what's going on. They're back now.

493
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 5: First of all, I haven't followed this that closely, but yeah,

494
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 5: they're sort of back, but not not that many restaurants

495
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 5: applied for the outdoor seating. Not nothing like you know

496
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago during COVID, and people haven't

497
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 5: applied for a number of reasons. You know, you need

498
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 5: all kinds of city approvals. There's all sorts of reasons why.

499
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 5: First of all, the city will tie you up and

500
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 5: not you have to deal with nineteen different agencies. It's

501
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 5: supposed to be the Departiament of Transportation that's in charge,

502
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 5: which it is, but they have to interact with the

503
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 5: you know, with the fire department, with the health department,

504
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 5: all these agencies. So there's a lot of hesitation on

505
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 5: the part of restaurant owners. They don't want to have

506
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 5: to go through this again. But meanwhile, you've got the

507
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 5: Hospitality Alliance, my friend Andrew pushing for even more, you know,

508
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 5: and city council people want to have year round outdoor seating.

509
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 5: I don't think we need that, but yeah, you'll be

510
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 5: seeing some of these. It's it's a moot point. Unless

511
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 5: the weather gets any better. It still feels like winter today.

512
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 5: I don't care what the forecast said. And we're going

513
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 5: to Florida on Tuesday, and I can't wait to get

514
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 5: out of here.

515
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 3: Oh look, where are you going to Florida?

516
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 5: Oh? The usual round, you know, the usual milk from

517
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 5: Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and Miami Beach. Okay, three beaches.

518
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 3: Now, Palm Beach has got a million restaurants opening, but

519
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 3: they're all from New York. They're all from the Hamptons.

520
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 3: They're all from the.

521
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 5: Well, not all of them. The big place down there

522
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 5: now it's called Polo something, Polo Lounge.

523
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: Polo.

524
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a guy that worked for it's a guy

525
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 3: that worked for Ralph Lauren. He gave him a permission

526
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 3: to use the Polo name down there.

527
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 4: Is that right?

528
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 5: Anyway? I'm looking forward to going because everybody says it's

529
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 5: the hottest place. The food's great, YadA YadA, sol and

530
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 5: the watch. We'll get down there and the weather will stink.

531
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 5: But when you travel, that's part of life.

532
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 3: Hey, Steve Kiso, you wrote this comeo. Certain food just

533
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 3: comes to New York, goes viral. It's a big deal.

534
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: You wrote about sushi push Pops. Explain that.

535
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 5: So there's a new place called Suka Sushi. It's a

536
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 5: little storefront. It's on Lexington Avenue in twenty fifth I think.

537
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 5: And they have a gimmick. Everybody's got a gimmick.

538
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: Now.

539
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 5: There's all sorts of weird things going on, and this

540
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 5: one is pop up sushi rolls. So you get a container.

541
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 5: You get a cylindrical container containing the sushi rolls, and

542
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 5: there's a thin tube attached to it, like the tubes

543
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 5: that you take board with, that's filled with soy sauce.

544
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 5: And you start by you're supposed to break the skinny

545
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 5: tube off from the big tube, and then you pry

546
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 5: the lid off the fifth tube, and then you pour

547
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 5: the soy sauce from the skinny tube into the thick

548
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 5: tube with the sushi rolls, and then you're supposed to

549
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 5: take the excuse me, the thin tube and stick it

550
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 5: into the bottom of the thick tube and push it up.

551
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 5: And what happens is and I did a video about this.

552
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 5: You can see it online on the New York Post website.

553
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 5: You push up the sushi rolls, which actually taste pretty good,

554
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 5: and out they come on top. It looks ridiculous, and

555
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 5: it is ridiculous. And the big problem with it is

556
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 5: that I made a mess, and most people are going

557
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 5: to make a mess with it too. You've got to

558
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 5: be very nimble fingered to not to spill everything all

559
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 5: over yourself and to make it work. There are no chopsticks,

560
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 5: there are no utensils, so you basically have to eat

561
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 5: the damn thing with your mouth as you walk. It's

562
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 5: not like eating a hot clock or a slice of pizza.

563
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 5: That's easy. We all do that. This is a new

564
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 5: level of you know, skilled that you need.

565
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so good luck Wells. But there's a lot of

566
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: these things that come along. They go viral, they're great

567
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: for Instagram and TikTok, and then they're gone in a year.

568
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 5: This will be yeah, it's all about TikTok.

569
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, hey, what is this? Every restaurant now you know,

570
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 3: used to have like a guy like Danielle would open

571
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: Danielle Great restaurant, John George would open John George and

572
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 3: that was But nowadays every restaurant guy, no matter who

573
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 3: it is, has to have fifty places, seventy five places.

574
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 5: What caused that trend, Well, it's been ongoing for years.

575
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 5: A lot of people love restaurants all over the world.

576
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 5: You have celebrity chefs and who may be great chefs like.

577
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 7: Excuse me, like Danielle Blue, and you have others who

578
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 7: are just big names even though they're not that good.

579
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 7: And you have these companies. Very often it's Wall Street money,

580
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 7: hedge funds, guys like that want to invest in restaurants.

581
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 5: It's fun. They see an opportunity to expand to a

582
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 5: whole bunch of cities, and if they can pull that off,

583
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 5: they can get very rich. The catch, of course, is

584
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 5: that just because a restaurant has the name of a

585
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 5: certain famous chef or a restaurant, you know, like a

586
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,479
Speaker 5: Carbone or whatever, doesn't mean that the places that have

587
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 5: that name in you know, in Hong Kong, ch Cargo,

588
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 5: wherever it may be, will be as good as the

589
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 5: ones that you know that started out in New York.

590
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 3: Also, if you got if you're a great restaurant guy,

591
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 3: a great chef, let's not mention any New York names.

592
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: Let's pick a foreign name. If you're Gordon Ramsay and

593
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: you got one restaurant in London, it's the greatest restaurant.

594
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 3: You make sure it's a great. But once you have

595
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five restaurants, they all become kind

596
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: of mediocre because you can't keep an eye on everything.

597
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean they make the pretense of, oh,

598
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 5: I'm always there, I come around every week, but that's

599
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 5: physically impossible. And again, some of them give a better

600
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 5: account of it than others. I've never been to a

601
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 5: Danielle Ballued restaurant anywhere that wasn't at least good. I've

602
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 5: never been to a restaurant that carries Jean George von

603
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 5: Grrichton's name that isn't really good. So yeah, again, it's

604
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 5: up to what commitment the chef is willing and able

605
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 5: to make.

606
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: But now, if you're John George, you spend all day

607
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 3: in a car driving from restaurant to restaurant to restaurant.

608
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: You gotta go to thirty places a day.

609
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 5: And they do in Manhattan, absolutely they do.

610
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: Well. Have a good trip in Florida. And are you're

611
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: going to Miami too? Right?

612
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna make the whole East coast, right.

613
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 3: So I look at Miami restaurant's Instagram. They look spectacular.

614
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: Is food wise they're not any better than New York,

615
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 3: are they?

616
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 5: I'm sorry? Which ones? Mark?

617
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 3: Any all the top Miami restaurants they look spectacular, but

618
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: food wise.

619
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 5: Some of them are. Some of them are really good.

620
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 5: I mean I've been to not Carbone, but the other

621
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 5: restaurant owned by the same people, major food group in

622
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 5: Miami last year and it was just wonderful. It's an

623
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 5: Italian restaurant. I just can't remember the name. So you know,

624
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 5: with batteries and the restaurants in Las Vegas are mostly

625
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 5: all terrific.

626
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, well, great stuff. Everybody reads Steve Cuzo

627
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 3: in the New York Post. His columns are all up

628
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 3: in the New York Post website. And Steve Cuzo, thanks

629
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 3: for being with us.

630
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 5: Thanks Locke, always fun. Thank you.

631
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 3: We'll take care now. Right over there, as you go

632
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 3: over to Seventh Avenue, there was Rosio Grady's. You remember

633
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 3: that it was a big, big, enormous saloon. It's like

634
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 3: the whole block long it was, and it closed. Everybody

635
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 3: was upset about that. It was a big place. So

636
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 3: apparently that's going to become a Serafina at the Italian restaurant,

637
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 3: but not the regular Serafina, a concept kind of restaurant.

638
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 3: And Michael Lomonico, the Great Chef, he had one of

639
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: the best steakhouses in Columbus Circle Time Warners Center. He's

640
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 3: going to run it. So that's great news. But you see,

641
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 3: that's what I mean. The Monrosio Grady's closed, and that

642
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 3: was a big tourist place. Everything you see New York

643
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 3: is dying. It just well now it's about to reopen

644
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 3: as an even more incredible restaurant. So every time something closes,

645
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 3: something else opens. You got massive skyscrapers going up everywhere,

646
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 3: You got all the top restaurant guys opening everywhere. New

647
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 3: York is booming. All these real estate companies wouldn't be

648
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 3: buying up properties building skyscrapers if they didn't believe in

649
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 3: the in the future of New York. Hey, don't forget

650
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 3: Curtis Lee. What is back? He's here now every morning

651
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 3: with Larry Minty. It's Curtis and Larry every morning six

652
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 3: to ten. Here on seven to ten wor.

653
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 8: News breaks out in every show, Mark Simone on seven

654
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 8: ten wor.

655
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: Well, you know the stock market, it's been up and

656
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 3: down and Mark Zuckerberg, there was one day the stock

657
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: market went way down. Was last Friday. I guess went

658
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: down five percent. Mark Zuckerberg that day lost twenty billion

659
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 3: dollars in one day and didn't even blink. It didn't

660
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 3: mean anything to him. You know, when you were worth

661
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 3: three hundred billion, he lost twenty billion in one day

662
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 3: and it meant absolutely nothing. So it'll all come back.

663
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: Stock market will come back bigger than ever. Hey. The

664
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 3: latest on Iran that the President has been briefed. Iran

665
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 3: claims it shot down an F fifteen Strike Eagle plane

666
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 3: and that they saw the pilot eject. So they're searching

667
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: for the pilot in Iran. They've offered a huge reward

668
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 3: to any Iranian that can find that pilot and turn

669
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: him in. The US has obviously launched a big search

670
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 3: operation to find him. Now. Iran has a history of

671
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 3: claiming to have shot down a plane when they didn't.

672
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 3: But we're now hearing the President is being briefed on this,

673
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 3: So I would assume it's true that a plane was

674
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 3: shot down, and I would assume the US can keep

675
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 3: track of all their planes. So it looks like it.

676
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: It looks like it's turning out to be true, and

677
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 3: F fifteen has been shot down. They're looking for the

678
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: pilot as we speak now. As Ed Rollins on the

679
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 3: show was saying earlier, as soon as you start to

680
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 3: lose lives or they get a hostage or something, it

681
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 3: changes everything on this. So we'll see, we'll see what happens.

682
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 3: We'll keep you posted with whatever we hear. Otherwise, Today's

683
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 3: a big day Yankee Stadium opening day today. That's great news.

684
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 3: The way I know, it looks bad outside, the weather

685
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 3: will clear up. Kamala Harris is getting a lot of flax.

686
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 3: She's announced to tour of the South North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas.

687
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 3: Those are big important states for Democrats in an election.

688
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 3: People in the democratic world upset. They think that means

689
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 3: she's going to try to run again. She was a

690
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 3: total disaster as a candidate. She was the worst vice

691
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 3: president ever. They want to get rid of her. They've

692
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 3: had enough of her. If she jumps back in the race,

693
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 3: it just screws up everything. So a lot of Democrats

694
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: very very upset about this. Now, normally you're a former

695
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 3: vice president, you get a book deal, you get this deal,

696
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 3: you go on and make a fortune. Look at Al Gore,

697
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 3: who became a weather profiteer with that climate change stuff,

698
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 3: went out to make two three hundred million. She had

699
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 3: not been able to do that. So they're worried that

700
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 3: she'll get back in the race just looking for attention.

701
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 3: Sometimes you get back in the race because those Democrats

702
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 3: they got a lot of big donors. And if you

703
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 3: get back in the race and they don't want you,

704
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 3: they've got one of those big donors to give you

705
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 3: a huge, high paying job and buy you out of

706
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 3: the race. So that may be what she's up to. Hey,

707
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 3: we're out of time. I'll be back Monday ten to noon.

708
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 3: And remember if you can't listen ten to noon, just

709
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: get the podcast. That way, you can listen anytime you want,

710
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 3: day or night. Remember, if you're a podcast listener, there's

711
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 3: an extra show every weekend. There's a bonus show for

712
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 3: the podcast listeners. So I'll see you Monday at ten

713
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 3: have a great weekend. Seven to ten Woo
