But they're both crazed about soccer. But 14 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 3: let's start with Johan first, the People's mayor, right not. 15 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 3: He has now issued an executive order, he has lost 16 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 3: his mind, an emergency executive order to block concerts, food festivals, 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 3: and any organized activities fifty or more and New York 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 3: City parks during Fee five to four from FIFA's World 19 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 3: Cup from July eleventh to July nineteenth.

That's number one. Absolutely that has to be 24 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 3: challenged in court. That is absolutely nuts. But what is 25 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 3: the reason behind it? What is he trying to do? 26 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: All of our resources? 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: Public safety security has to be protecting everybody who's coming 28 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: in to stay in New York City to then go 29 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,639 Speaker 3: to Penn Station. 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: And now we find out wait a second, so he's 31 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: taking all the resources, yes, and putting them all into 32 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: the World Cup. And that's why they're saying you can't 33 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: go to parks can because we can't protect you. 34 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 3: Cancel if you're in a group of fifty or more, 35 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 3: you cannot have an activity GI That sounds totalitarian, authoritarian, right. 36 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 3: And the people coming in are not the peeps you know, 37 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 3: the blue collar, working class people.

Have been cut because the 174 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 4: Jackson Estate, the propaganda arm of Michael Jackson's legacy, found 175 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 4: out that one of his accusers, there's some like little 176 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 4: legalese that says he can never be included in a movie. 177 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 4: So the Jackson Estate ponied up fifteen million dollars to 178 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 4: reshoot a bunch of it. So now it's just Michael 179 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 4: Jackson's a superstar. Here, here's thriller, here's beat it, and 180 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 4: it ends with him on top. None of it's ever mentioned. 181 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: And it don't make a ton of money the Broadways 182 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 3: a musical that did really well, didn't it. 183 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 4: It's still doing well, and I think they're you know, 184 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 4: the Jackson Estate. I bet when they found this document 185 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 4: they were overjoyed because they don't want they don't want 186 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: this stuff dredged up, and audiences for the most part, 187 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 4: are willing to overlook it just to hear songs they'd like. 188 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 4: But come on, this guy was a sleazy, alleged pedophile. 189 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: Has there any been anybody in Hollywood that has seen 190 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: the film or worked on the film that leaked out 191 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: what was in it? 192 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 4: Yeah? 193 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: They were apparently at the end. 194 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 4: It was the actually got into courtroom stuff and allegations 195 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 4: in very specific terms, and it was ending. Apparently the 196 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 4: last shot or something was that the cops descending on Neverland. 197 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 4: And and now it's you know, him hopping up at 198 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 4: a concert or something. It's entirely different, Johnny, I'm only 199 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 4: interested in one team. Yeah, did they cut Tito out 200 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 4: of thish?

What happened in Tito? 204 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 4: All all the Jackson, all the Jackson five is in it. 205 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 4: Janet is not that, which is a bit conspicuous. So 206 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 4: someone made a good joke online And do we have 207 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 4: to wait till the end credits to find out about 208 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 4: the Janet Jackson sequel? 209 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: Hey, is Sydney Sweeney becoming the biggest star in Hollywood? 210 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: Now? 211 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 4: I think she's the biggest star in publications about Hollywood. 212 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: For sure. 213 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 4: People love to see Sidney Sweeney. They don't really want 214 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 4: to pay to see what she's in. They don't seem 215 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 4: to want to watch what he's in very much, but 216 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 4: they unless it's a bikini. They love watching her in those. 217 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 4: She's on this So she's on this show Euphoria. That's 218 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 4: what made her famous, That's what made is In Dea famous, 219 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 4: and Jacob a loordy. So all the gen Z stars 220 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 4: came out of Euphoria. And season three is about to 221 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 4: start and all her reviews are just terrible. They're just terrible. 222 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: It'll still do great, It'll still do wonderfully well because 223 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: and gen Z loves it. 224 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: And I think it's because it makes high high school 225 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 4: students and now they're you know, forty five or however 226 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 4: all the are. But it's just a show about high 227 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 4: school students having lots of sex and doing drugs. And 228 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 4: then you know, those of us that were in the 229 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 4: science fiction club are like, what high school was this? 230 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: I didn't go to this high school. Gooby just asked 231 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: one last question about Cidy Sweeney, because we've talked about 232 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: it before and I've heard it talked about elsewhere. Is 233 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: she going to be the Bond girl? 234 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 4: I I really the whole Bond thing. Every day a 235 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 4: different Bond rumor. I think I've come on this show 236 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 4: and told you with great certainty that five different men 237 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 4: would play that part. I think it's going to be 238 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: announced any day now. I think she has a great chance. 239 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 4: If Jeff Bezos is calling the shots, I think he 240 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 4: likes Sydney hanging out on the yacht in Saint Bart's 241 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 4: you know, yeah. 242 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: Me take you back in the time caps.

I'm really angry Taylor Swift. 247 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 3: You know when I ran for me, I'm the catman, 248 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 3: right she she endorsed Tampon, tim the governor of Minnesota's vice. 249 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: President of Ause. And I didn't get any play whatsoever. 250 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 3: But why did that whole cash fail in a movie 251 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: that so many people wanted to see? 252 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: What was wrong with the movie? 253 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 3: And now they're sort of bringing back it in a 254 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 3: musical form on Broadway. 255 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, so with Cats, the movie which I believe I 256 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 4: gave zero stars to at the time, and I like 257 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 4: the musical Cats, but when you see the musical Cats, 258 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 4: you don't go. I can't wait until they put that 259 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: on screen. Famously, they were mocked for any number of things. 260 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 4: But they they took away a body party. They've on 261 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 4: the rear end of a cat. They they smoothed it 262 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 4: out so everyone was talking. No one wants to be 263 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 4: talking about Dame Judy Dench's, you know, and that, So 264 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 4: that was what the critics were focusing on. It was 265 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 4: just a laughing stock, to the point where at the 266 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 4: premier Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer, sort of washed his 267 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 4: hands of it and said he had no involvement and 268 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 4: has gone on to say that it's an appalling, appalling movie. 269 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: So that's how bad Cats. It was awful. 270 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 4: But there's a new Cat's musical. Yeah, and it's this 271 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 4: is so get this and you might be very offended. Curtis, 272 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 4: as you said, you're the Catman. So in this version 273 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 4: of Cats on Broadway called the jellical Ball, which is great, 274 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 4: the cats are no longer cats, they are people. There 275 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 4: are no there are no ears, there are no tails, 276 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 4: there is no fur. This version of Cats takes the 277 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 4: jellical Ball competition that the cats have. 278 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: Oh he's so mad. 279 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, no, I'm taking my towself 280 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 3: back in time. The beginning of the Guardian Angels. Luther 281 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 3: Van Josh was performing for us in a project in Harlem. 282 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: Nobody and he knew who he was. I mean god, 283 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: he knocked us out in advance of a mini ball 284 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: three snaps up. 285 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 3: I saw some of the greatest performances of all time 286 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 3: from the LGBTQ community. I mean, I had never known 287 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 3: that this existed, and apparently this is what we're gonna say. 288 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: You're very well versed in Cats. Thegelical ball, I'm impressing. 289 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm there up with Larry over here. 290 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 3: I have to a b r Oh, Larry, you've never 291 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: been to a mini ball. 292 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: I've never been to a full ball. So that's what 293 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: they said. 294 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 4: It's it's based on Harlem ballroom culture, which is sort 295 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 4: of like like RuPaul's drag race. So it's outfits and 296 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 4: attitude and competition, which is what CATS is about. Cats 297 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 4: is about cats competing to go to heaven, and this 298 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 4: one they compete for a trophy, which is slightly more logical. 299 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 4: But it's tons of fun. The crowds are going crazy. 300 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 4: It's like a rock concert. It's good stuff. I had 301 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 4: a Guardian Angel leader who was in the mini ball.

And 338 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: this can deflect from everything else because you know, the 339 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: media will be in tow, the entire Democratic Party, he 340 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: will be in tow. All the Mamdaniites will be in tow. 341 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: So this is brilliant on his part, but it covers 342 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: up one hundred days of failure. 343 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 3: Let me correct you. It's not Mandemiites, it's sorts. Remember 344 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 3: coined the phrase, oh I'm sorry, I didn't know. That's 345 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 3: why I don't dare use it. I don't have to 346 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 3: pay number one if he wanted to take a victory 347 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 3: tour through all five burrows, continue to fill up. All 348 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: the potholes. They are everywhere. And if you notice when 349 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 3: him and Hokel did it, it's a cold patch. It's 350 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 3: not gonna stick. So the first few cars that go 351 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 3: over it, all that so called asphalt is gonna go 352 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 3: flying in different directions. There are hundreds and hundreds of 353 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 3: these potholes everywhere. 354 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: There are hundreds and hundreds of things that he got wrong, 355 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: the potholes, the snow removal, the people dying, his hiring 356 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: of racists, and his hiring of people that are anti Semites, 357 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: and some of them that had to quit. Some of 358 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: them are still in office. The way he went after 359 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: the police, he's still going after the police. He and 360 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: Jessica Tish apparently are having some tension. According to the 361 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: New York Times, over all the things that he wanted 362 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: to do with that were anti cops. So look, and 363 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: that's only in a few seconds I mentioned them. It's 364 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: a longer list. 365 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 3: I prefer to go a little simpler route that everyone 366 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 3: can relate to dog poop is still everywhere. 367 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: That's true. 368 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 3: I can't tell you how many times people they step 369 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 3: in it. And it's a curse. F Mondamie, I. 370 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: Never knew that was his first his first name. He 371 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: killed twenty two people in a snowstorm. And after that 372 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: was over, everybody talked about it, and then it was okay, 373 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: let me get back. Then it was okay, let me 374 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: get back to base. Because I concur with you on 375 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: that this garbage. 376 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 3: Everywhere, garbage everywhere, I mean it, mounds of garbage. Nobody's 377 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 3: cleaning it up. Jorn is oblivious to it as he 378 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 3: makes his victory tour. So I like to stick to 379 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 3: the elements. And in the talkback section with Natalie, she 380 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 3: nailed it. The listeners said, I go on the subway 381 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 3: every day because they gotta take this away to go 382 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 3: to work, homeless, emotionally disturbed, garbage everywhere, rats everywhere that 383 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 3: he hasn't done anything to do with that. Now, that's 384 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 3: also Hockel's problem his newfound partnership, because she runs the MTA. 385 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 3: Although she would need a she would need a guy 386 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 3: to take her around the subway system. 387 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: She has no idea about this and he's not gonna 388 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: get the free buses, that's all. He's got budget problems allegedly, 389 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: and now he has the city council saying, oh, we 390 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: can take care of that without laying off anybody. Don't 391 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: worry about it. You don't even have to raise house. 392 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: That part. I've told you that is the typical chicken dance. 393 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 3: You know, we're around budget time. So that's why I 394 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 3: say by Memorial Day they'll all be resolved. They'll all 395 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 3: be hugging one another, the state, the city we've come. 396 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 3: You know, he'll have another victory tour probably right before 397 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 3: we'll see. You've been saying that's going to happen, and 398 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 3: that'd be great if it did happen. But we'll see 399 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 3: if that's going to happen. The only thing that would 400 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 3: be bad about it is in your equation, he gets 401 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 3: the tax on the rich, in the tax on corporation. 402 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: Remember that's the only bad part. 403 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 3: As somebody who's followed a lot of elections and try 404 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 3: to craft my own attempts to be mayor in twenty 405 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 3: twenty one and twenty twenty five, A. 406 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: Good campaign of three issues. A better campaign has two issues. 407 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 3: The best campaign is one issue, and he wrote that 408 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 3: issue affordability costs a living to victory. But Rent Control Board, 409 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 3: everybody said, you can't freeze the rents. You can't freeze 410 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 3: the rents. There's two million people who live in rent 411 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 3: subsidized apartments. He now has appointed all the people in charge, 412 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 3: there are eight of them. They are all zorin easters. 413 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 3: You gotta believe that he controls them. Every other mayor 414 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 3: whoever had control of that was able to freeze it. 415 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 3: Cuomo as governor froze it during the lockdown and pandemic. 416 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 3: Deblasio froze the rents twice. This is not anything new. 417 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 3: So I think he's going to be able to do 418 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 3: that the billionaire's tax. If he just gets that, he's 419 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 3: going to take a victory lap. Just look at our 420 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 3: whole was trapped by all those young people yesterday's screaming 421 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 3: text there Rich He had to call up like a 422 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 3: whole barock of state troopers to protect them and her 423 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 3: in the graves. 424 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: But it's lose lose if he gets it, we all lose. 425 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: If he gets it. People are going to move. They're 426 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: already moving. 427 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 3: As a threat well of it happening very popular out there. 428 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 3: Larry is the billionaire's tax. 429 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: That's okay. 430 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 3: They have very few billionaires, and most working class people 431 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 3: really hate the billionaires because they haven't come across as 432 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 3: very empathetic or sympathetic of. 433 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: They don't have to be. They pay most of the taxes. 434 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: How about this one. 435 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 3: Together, New York, we're going to make buses fast. 436 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: And what about that one? 437 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 3: Well he'll declare partial victory. And you know why because 438 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 3: even before he ran, half the people weren't paying on 439 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 3: the buses. There's no fair and was so he'll say, well, 440 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 3: you're right, I didn't give you a full free fare, 441 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 3: but half half of you are not paying anywhere. 442 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm he's gonna even bring that off to 443 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: tell you the truth. I don't think that's a good thing. 444 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: But he just admitted that. He admitted that's not going 445 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: to happen. Not in the first year city run grocery stores. 446 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: Remember that was a big part of it. 447 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 3: You know, we're gonna be able to underprice all of 448 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 3: those who have supermarkets, the really big guys. And then 449 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 3: the guy like John Katcher metitis with Cristiites and I 450 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 3: forget the other place he has well with John Katcher 451 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 3: Matiti's having threatened to leave, remember right after January first, 452 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 3: and now he's rescinded that he's surrendered to Joran. 453 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: Because he can profit personally. 454 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 3: That's the only reason he probably would have said, Okay, 455 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 3: you're leaving his stores. Remember me, he threatened to sell it. 456 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 3: I'll buy the stores and we'll set up the Citate supermarkets. 457 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: That would have been. He's never gonna do that. But listen, 458 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: he is a false prophet. He made cute videos and 459 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: he's got a nice smile, and he fooled everybody. And 460 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: he's not going to do half the things he said 461 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: he was going to do. That's the good part. But 462 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: listen to me. He always was an anti stlite. He 463 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: always is against cops and that is at his core. 464 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: Oh and he is going to run the city. 465 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 3: That the one group of people who get no attention recognition, 466 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: and they have the toughest job in the city, the 467 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 3: toughest bar none correctional officers. They get assigned a Rikers Island. 468 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 3: They have to work mandatory twelve hour shifts, so eight 469 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 3: plus four and sometimes more, and they cannot control the asylum. 470 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 3: It's all the gangs and one thing he's going to 471 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 3: deliver on he's going to close Rikers Island. He signed 472 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 3: it the other day, he said, we're closing it. You're 473 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 3: going to have your four community jails that cost two 474 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 3: billion dollars a piece to build, is still being built, 475 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,719 Speaker 3: that will house only four thousand. 476 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: I didn't get him elected, though it helped. Didn't well, 477 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: didn't get elected the one they got elected, and he 478 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: knew it is the one. The things he said all 479 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: the time, fast and free buses and taxing the rich, 480 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: and he's may not get either of those done. 481 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 3: And you think he is the number one issue affordability, 482 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 3: costs of living. Remember in the in the debates, we'd 483 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 3: be talking about parade, everything else, and he like a 484 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 3: drowning to take affordability, course of living. Come on, so on, 485 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 3: answer the question. He ran a great campaign, He's not 486 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 3: running a great city. When we come back, how historians 487 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 3: rank our presidents and where do Joe Biden and Donald 488 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 3: Trump rank? 489 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: That's next. 490 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 2: Here's Larry Minty with more of the wr Saturday Morning Show. 491 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: Historians from universities across the country have ranked the top presidents. 492 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: You already believe it has to be politically biased, right, Well, 493 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: you're right. So I think the top five you can 494 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: probably get. I mean they're the common ones. Maybe the 495 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: number switches around, but go ahead, Curtis, give me who 496 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: you think are the top five? 497 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 3: Oh? I have some cred now, having finished the IV four, 498 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 3: having gone to Yales, speaking at Cornell, Prenceston, and Harvard 499 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 3: where there were a lot of history students.

Where do you think he is on this? 512 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 3: He's gotta be down at the bottom. I mean he 513 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 3: could barely chew gum and think exactly. And he had 514 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 3: some awful policies. I mean, we're still dealing with the 515 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 3: information and the gas prices, and I mean it was incredible, 516 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 3: the open border of the wars in the world. I 517 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 3: remember when he was vice president, he told Barack Obama, 518 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 3: don't shoot, don't don't kill Osama bin I didn't remember 519 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 3: the only one who said that. 520 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: Okay, So number fourteen, No, he's fourteenth in this poll. 521 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: This is where the pole loses old ritability. Guess who 522 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: was at number sixteen, two below him, Ronald Reagan? What, oh, 523 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: come on, No, it's a joke. The whole poll was 524 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: a joke. 525 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 3: Now the question is after that performance yesterday where he 526 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 3: told us more than we need to know Donald Trump, 527 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 3: he know, he never he always delivers. 528 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 4: Well. 529 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: Before I get to Donald Trump, let me go through 530 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: the bottom of the poll, the very bottom, because it's 531 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: the it's the standard ones. If you know presidential history, 532 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: these are the ones that are always Harding is fortieth fortieth, 533 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: all right, Harrison is forty first. He just basically died 534 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: right away. You know that's true. So and he died. 535 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's his Polke's not saying it's his fault, 536 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: but he did it. Didn't do a lot. 537 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 3: I like Polk from Tennessee because he was one. Pierce 538 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 3: is the bad one. Pierce and then Johnson, not Lyndon. 539 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 3: The Johnson was getting impeached to be here after Lincoln 540 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 3: came after Lincoln. 541 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,239 Speaker 1: Remember they went into reconstruction Johnson Andrew Johnson. They went 542 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: into impeach him. Wait and wait a sect, let me 543 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: finish the sentence. Okay, they went in to impeach him, 544 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: and he was hiding behind his desk. That was That 545 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: was the impeachment. 546 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 3: If it happens to Trump that they impeach him, he 547 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 3: ain't gonna be hiding behind his death I give him credit. 548 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: He'll be defiant. He'll raise money on it. Forty fourth 549 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: is always at the bottom of the list, always the 550 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: last one. For this one, not the last one, but 551 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: James Buchanan, who was the most corrupt president in our history. 552 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 3: Because you're a homophobic because he was clearly gay. Yeah, 553 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 3: well maybe they are, but I doubt that the University 554 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 3: of Houston they are. So here's forty fifth, the very. 555 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: Last one by a lot, not even close. Donald Trump, no, 556 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: no way, Donald Trump, no way. 557 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 3: Now you see that's why you say, how can you 558 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 3: say you have a love hate relationship. I'm telling you, Larry, 559 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 3: I'd have him up there in the top twenty five. 560 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, I would put him at the top. To see. 561 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 3: The problem is he talks about at times how he's 562 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 3: better than George Washington and Abraham Lincoln together. 563 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: Did he say that, Yes he does. I'll have to 564 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: look that one up. I don't know if he said that. 565 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: I know he has a lot of braggadocia, and I 566 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: know that he says some things that are off the charts. 567 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: I think he does it for attention sometimes, but I 568 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: would have to say top twenty five. I think if 569 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: you pushed him into the top twenty, I wouldn't have 570 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: a problem with that. I think just for the fact 571 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: that he got into office after the previous administration says 572 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: they couldn't secure the border, and he did it like 573 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: in a weekend. It was secure almost immediately. That that 574 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: was amazing. That alone was a huge accomplishment medically seal it. 575 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 3: Now he has stated, you know, somebody's going to research 576 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 3: nobody has come into the country illegally. 577 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: Sents little bit, Well, but we've had days of zero Yeah, 578 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: that's what's kind of amazing and we have for the 579 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: first time since they've been keeping track of who comes 580 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: across the border, we have negative migration. There have more 581 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: people leaving than coming in. Yeah, well so that's really incredible. 582 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: And you know when people go, you know, we need migration, 583 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: you know we need people here. We had eleven to 584 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: twenty million come in. We're doing okay, we got enough. 585 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: I do not take the president at task for that. 586 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 3: Well coming up, he had some whoppers yesterday at that 587 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 3: press conference. 588 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: Larry that John Decker who was there with a scrum. 589 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 3: I haven't seen that many reporters in my lifetime. There 590 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 3: was no room for the reporters in that room. And 591 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 3: the first question was by a Curtish reporter who didn't 592 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 3: even talk about. 593 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: All the guns that the Kurds took and stole and 594 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: didn't use to try to encourage the and answers. What's 595 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: funny about that? You keep bringing that up. Do you 596 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: notice that Trump doesn't seem too upset about it. I 597 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: don't think he cares that the Kurds took the guns. 598 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: I think he likes that the herds have the guns. 599 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: I think the Curds are going to play a role 600 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: in all of this they're being held back right now. 601 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, they're holding everything back right 602 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: now because of all the bombing going. But the Kurds 603 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: are coming in. You keep thinking that, you don't believe 604 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: the Curds are gonna get involved in They're in the charge, 605 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: right they're in the front.
