1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York as Mark Simonne

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Show on sevent tenor.

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: Well, what day is it? It's only Wednesday? All right,

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: here's the good news. You got only four days until

5
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: daylight saving time, only seventeen days until spring. It's practically here.

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: No more cold weather. Yesterday was the last cold day.

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: It's in the forties today, and then from now on fifties, sixties,

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: and they'll even hit seventy and winter is gone. We'll

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: give you that all the latest we do, the latest

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: details on the war, exactly where we stand. We'll get

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: to Texas, what happened last night, We got to Epstein

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: and those crazy hearings. We'll get to congestion pricing, We'll

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: get to We had lots to talk about today. So

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: let me just give you a war update. Now. You

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: got these crazy Democrats, Chuck Schumer and others. Schumer I

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: watched him yesterday. He said Donald Trump and his endless war.

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 2: It's four days yesterday, endless war. I don't think four

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: days is endless. But Schumer, you know, trying to. He's

19
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: an old, washed up Willie Lohman, old washed up, old

20
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: fossil old dinosaur, sad sort of a guy now in

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: the very end of his career, trying to look relevant.

22
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: You know, he got bigger glasses. He had these glasses.

23
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: Now he got the really big mister McGoo glasses. Maybe

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: that'll help. It's not helping, but every time people see him,

25
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: I think it really really helps Trump when you see

26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: this old fossil try to attack things.

27
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: America wants this president to pay attention to the problems

28
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: at home, not the problems overseas, particularly when no one

29
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: has any idea of what the real rationale is.

30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: It changes every hour.

31
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: Now, if Trump had launched some big thing at home,

32
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: Schumer would say, he's not paying attention to overseas. It's

33
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: just a ridiculous guy.

34
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 4: Which one is it, Donald Trump? Regime change, nuclear weapons, missiles,

35
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: an imminent threat to the homeland, or a preemptive strike

36
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 4: to stop future attacks on the region.

37
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, the answer is yes, that's what it is. It's

38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 2: all of those things. I don't think he realizes what

39
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: he's doing. He's so old. He's like an old tired fighter.

40
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: You know, Boxer keeps missing every punch misses. He just

41
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: listed like nine reasons why you want to go do this.

42
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: Let me give you the latest down Iraq. Though here

43
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: this is right from the Pentagon all the latest. We

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: are originally talking about one week. Now they're talking about

45
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: three weeks, four weeks, maybe even five weeks. But the

46
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: reason for the extension is we're doing much better than

47
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 2: we hoped. We didn't think it would be this easy. Now,

48
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: remember you got the this has never happened before. You

49
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: get the two best militaries in the world, the US

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: and Israel, and Israel is the most highly skilled military

51
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: in you could possibly have in the Middle East. Nobody

52
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: has better intelligence, better capabilities in a Middle East war.

53
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: So the two militaries combining, working side by side, it's

54
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: an unbelievable powerful combination. So not only we've not only

55
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: taken out all their weapons capability, we're now taking out

56
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: all their manufacturing capability, so they won't be able to

57
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 2: bring anything back. We've taken out all the leaders We've

58
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: got all the top leadership, and now what they're going

59
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: to do is go down the tiers each level, take

60
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: out each level of leadership all the way down. We've

61
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: taken out most of their weapons, ballistic missiles. They still

62
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: have some, but most of them have been taken out.

63
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: They still have some drones, which are harder to get.

64
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, they were building them at a

65
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: very very fast pace. That was the problem. They were

66
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: building ballistic missiles drones at a very fast pace. We

67
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: have now taken out the factories that build them, so

68
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: they can't keep building. We've taken away seventy five percent

69
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: of their defensive capabilities two days ago, we took out

70
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: fifty percent of the defense and oh, actually offensive capabilities.

71
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: We've taken away seventy five percent of their offensive capabilities.

72
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: Defense is gone. Seventy five percent of their offensive capabilities gone.

73
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: Now when they fire those missiles, the reason one can

74
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: get through and hit Tel Aviv is they can send

75
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: so many at the same time. Now, what they want

76
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: to do when they send a salvo of missiles, to

77
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: send fifty fifty and one salvo. It's hard for that

78
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: iron dome to stop. Fifty at once. They were down

79
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 2: to thirty, and even at thirty one could get through,

80
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: So thirty at once it's very hard to stop. We've

81
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: taken out so much of their offensive capability. They're now

82
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: down to only two or three. That's all they can

83
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: send in one salvo, two or three missiles, which is

84
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: pretty harmless. The drones are being taken down, they do

85
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: a little damage. Those are a little harder to take out.

86
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: But we're getting it done. And as the Pentagon points out,

87
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: we've lost six six of our military and we owe

88
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: it to them finished the job. It was a very

89
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: very very planned attack all of this. That's why it's

90
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: gone so well. That's they knew exactly what to hit.

91
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: The Israeli Air Force just struck a top Iranian meeting.

92
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 2: You know, at the beginning, they took out all of

93
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: Tehran's senior clerics. They did it again yesterday, hit another

94
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: group of senior clerics. In fact, the group that was

95
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: there to select a replacement for the Aetola senior officials.

96
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: They were there to do the vote and who to

97
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: replace the Ietola. Israel hit that building and took them out.

98
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: They called it the Assembly of Experts. It's a body

99
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: of eighty eight members who got together to do this voting.

100
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: The strike took them all out and wiped out the building.

101
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: Also in Iran. You know, you forget so busy with

102
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: all these other issues and the things Schumer just rattled off,

103
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: You forget the brutal oppression of women and other minorities.

104
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 2: In Iran, women not allowed to do anything thing. You

105
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 2: have to keep covered up at all times. Well, women

106
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: were seen yesterday in Iran taking off their hijabs and

107
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: dancing openly in the street. They would have been killed

108
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: for that a week ago, but now they're doing it.

109
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: It's a great thing to see. The Iatola's son, the

110
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: son of the Ayatola, was selected to how to replace him.

111
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: He's fifty six. His name is Mujtaba ka Kama nny.

112
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: He's the son of the Ayatola. They have selected him

113
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: to be the new leader. I would imagine his insurance

114
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: company immediately cancel his policy. How long would you give

115
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 2: this guy to live he's the new leader. I would

116
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: say one week tops that this guy will be alive.

117
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: He's known as being a staunch advocate of his father's lunatic,

118
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: hardline stuff. He has close ties to Iran's notoriously brutal

119
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Now, the thing is he had no

120
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: official role in his father's regime, but he was still

121
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: sanctioned by the US in twenty nineteen. The appointment is

122
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: actually unexpected. Again, he had no role. It's like the

123
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: like Michael Corleon, who was not part of the stuff,

124
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: all of a sudden getting the leadership. And in Iran,

125
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: they've always looked down on family succession. These Ayah Toolus.

126
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: It's one thing they were against, is this family succession,

127
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: because that's what happened with the Shaw of Iran and

128
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: all that, and that was the monarchy they toppled. Democrats

129
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: are trying to attack this thing like crazy, and they

130
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: don't know what to do, so they're actually resorting to

131
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: this old thing from one hundred years ago where they

132
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: do this you never served, you never served. For instance,

133
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: that guy that writes south Park that crazy whack up

134
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: now demanding Baron Trump be drafted to war. This is

135
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: they did this in the Gulf War. Remember this is

136
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: like from twenty years ago. If you didn't serve, you're

137
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: not allowed to go to war. And if you go

138
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: to war, you better have your family. It's ridiculous. First

139
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: of all, we don't have a draft anymore. Second of all,

140
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: if you talk to Pentagon officials from any of the

141
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: last four administrations, they'll tell you they do not want

142
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: to draft anybody. It's not like the old days. You know,

143
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: the Vietnam you were just looking for infantry guys to

144
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: march around with rifles. Today's armed forces are so high tech,

145
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: so computerized, that draftees are useless. You need people to

146
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: go through like a year or two of training. Drafting

147
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: people doesn't work anymore. That's why they don't do it.

148
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: But you got this stuff going on. Rachel Maddow last

149
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: night going after Trump for not serving. He didn't serve,

150
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: called them a bone spurs. Remember that was his thing

151
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: about not serving, that he had bone spurs. You know,

152
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: for four years we had President Joe Biden, who never served,

153
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: who claimed he had asthma and that's why he couldn't serve.

154
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: If you read his five hundred page biography of his

155
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: old life, there's not a word in there about asthma. Suddenly,

156
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: when it was draft time he had asthma. Joe Biden

157
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: got I think eight student defirm. It's more than Trump.

158
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: But they've gone in the attic and gotten this old

159
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 2: old argument out of the closet about he didn't serve,

160
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: he didn't serve. Remember the great election of two thousand

161
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: and four, it was John Kerry against George Bush, and

162
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: Carrie had been in the military. He had been in Vietnam,

163
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: so he used that as his campaign I served, He

164
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: didn't serve. I served. But as it got to close

165
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: to the election, if people start to look at this

166
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: as a wit a minute, Carrie served like twenty six

167
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: years ago. Thirty years ago, he was in the thirty

168
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: years ago, he was in the army or the navy

169
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: for a couple of months. And he commanded a boat

170
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: with eight people on it. And that's a service thirty

171
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 2: years ago. And then I looked at Bush. The guy's

172
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: been the commander in chief of the entire US military

173
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: for the last four years. I think that counts as

174
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: more service than Carrie. President Trump spoke yesterday about the war.

175
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 5: They no longer have air protection, They no longer have

176
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 5: any detection facilities at all left, and so they're gonna

177
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 5: have they're going to be in.

178
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 6: For a lot of hurt.

179
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the air Force is gone, their navy is completely gone.

180
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 5: Most of the people we had in mind are dead.

181
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: So you know, we had some in mind from that

182
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 5: group that is is dead, and now we have another group.

183
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 5: They may be dead also based on reports. So I

184
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 5: guess you have a third wave of coming in.

185
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, who's going to take over.

186
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 5: With amazingly, they're hitting countries that were.

187
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: No Actually, and this was a big mistake from Iran.

188
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: From the beginning, they started attacking everybody in the Middle East,

189
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: Dubai and Saudi Arabia, these are their only possible allies

190
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: them immediately by attacking them.

191
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 5: Amazingly, they're hitting countries that were you know, let's call

192
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 5: them neutral, right, they lived together.

193
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: For a long time.

194
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 5: They I think they were surprised. I was surprised, I think.

195
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 5: And now those countries are all fighting against them and

196
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 5: fighting strongly against them. Yeah, we were having negotiations with

197
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 5: these lunatics and it was my opinion that they were

198
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 5: going to attack first. They were going to attack if

199
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 5: we didn't do it, they were going to attack first.

200
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 6: I fell strongly about that.

201
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: The keyword there is lunatics. You got to remember they

202
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: were a bunch of lunatics. The Ayatola a lunatic, his

203
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: son a lunatic. All those people run things a lunatic.

204
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 2: Now this was pretty interesting. He asked them, well, what

205
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: if this is all over, it'll be over soon. What's

206
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: the worst possible outcome.

207
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 5: I guess the worst case would be we do this

208
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 5: and then somebody takes over who's as bad as the

209
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 5: previous person, Right, that could happen.

210
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: We don't want that to happen. Yeah, that's a pretty

211
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: honest answer. Now, you got to remember, you know, Democrats

212
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: do what they always do. If a Republican does a

213
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: bombing thing, they all start to yell it's a violation,

214
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: it's illegal. You violated this, You violated that. You got

215
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: to get the war powers that. None of this is

216
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: true legally, constitutionally, none of that's true. It's just nonsense.

217
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 2: You got to remember Barack Obama was twenty eleven, did

218
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: the same thing in Libya. He wanted to take out Kadafi.

219
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: Rebels were rising up. We wanted to help the rebels.

220
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: So Obama launched the same sort of attack bombing Libya.

221
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: Every Democrat immediately put out a statement, thank God for

222
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: his device decisive action. Look at how great he is. Decisive,

223
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 2: he's acting, Look at him protecting the free. There's just

224
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: exact opposite of today. That's one thing about these democrats

225
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: they have they have no shame. They could tell you

226
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: one thing an hour later, if Trump does it, they'll

227
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: tell you how awful it is. It's the most disgusting

228
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: thing in the world. Yeah, but you were just for

229
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 2: it for the last ten years. They couldn't care less.

230
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: They'll say anything everything Trump does, closing the border, deporting illegals,

231
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 2: getting rid of the show. This is everything the Democrats

232
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: have been promising to do for thirty years. All they

233
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: did was promise this stuff, and they're furious that somebody

234
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: actually did it now for two reasons, One because it's

235
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: Trump and they hate him. And two, if you get this,

236
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: if they don't have a campaign issue anymore. Now, Hey,

237
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: speaking of campaigns, Texas, Jasmine Crockett lost lost badly in

238
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: the runoff. There new guy, this is the new hotshot Democrat,

239
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: Tall Rico. He's only thirty six. Wiped out Jasmine crocket

240
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: and a typical Democrat. You know, if you say the

241
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: election was rigged, you should immediately be arrested and go

242
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: to jail, just like Trump. Now she's saying the election

243
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: was rigged. It was rigged. However, she was crying voter suppression.

244
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: There was a court ruling about keeping the polls open

245
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: a little later voter suppression or closing the polls early

246
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 2: voter suppression. Although everybody's looking at the number she got

247
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: wiped out by a huge amount. There's no amount of

248
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: suppression or tamper, and there's no amount that could have

249
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: made up this gap. She was just completely wiped out.

250
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: Now the thing is Tall Rico. This is the new

251
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: hotshot Democrat. Remember this is the guy Colbert wanted to

252
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: have on and the Democrats said, you can't have You

253
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 2: gotta have both on. You can't have just one on.

254
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: So Tall Rico one big with Hispanics. That's a big

255
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: thing because Democrats had completely lost Hispanic voters. So in

256
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: the general election, this is encouraging Democrats because he did

257
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: so well with Hispanics. Maybe maybe he's got a shot

258
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: in Texas. Anyway, we'll get back to the war, We'll

259
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: get to Epstein, We'll get to congestion pricing. Hey, big

00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: actually the oldest talk radio station in America. Actually talk

281
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: radio started here. This is the station that invented and

282
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: originated talk radio one hundred it's one hundred and three

283
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: hundred and four years ago, I think one hundred and

284
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: four years ago. One hundred and four years ago invented

285
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: talk radio here. Then in the nineteen forties, one of

286
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: the talk show hosts, a young guy named Barry Gray.

287
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: Nobody had ever done this for it before. He put

288
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: a phone call on the air. It was very primitive

289
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: back then. Almost had to hold the phone up to

290
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: the microphone you could barely hear the caller. But he

291
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: was the first one to put a caller on the air,

292
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: and I think it was nineteen forty seven, so everything

293
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: was invented here at wor Hey. We'll take some calls

294
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: in a minute. Eight hundred three two one zero seven

295
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero

296
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:24,520

329
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,320

00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, they're all nice people up there.

00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 9: They are not all nice people and they are and

332
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 9: to stab Curtis in the back and have people like

333
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 9: Anthony Wiener on and Andrew Cuomo.

334
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 2: Is Anthony Waiters. Anthony Wiener is not there anymore, and

335
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: I wouldn't bet on Cuomo being there much. I don't know.

336
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, well you know the insights.

337
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: No, I don't know any I have no insight school.

338
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: I'm just from listening to it. I don't see that

339
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: lasting too long. But thanks for calling. Glad you're happy

340
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: Curtis is coming. Hey, speaking a Wiener, Anthony Wiener, he

341
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 2: was on the view acting like he wants to make

342
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 2: a comeback. Anthony Wiener, the whack job pervert was on

343
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: the view, and it looked like to me, it looked

344
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: like he's getting ready to run for something. Hey. Remember,

345
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: Wiener is like a cross between Bill de Blasio and

346
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein, like a really left wing horrible, terrible, terrible

347
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: left wing kook politician and a total underage women pervert

348
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: kind of guy. Now, they did confront him about his past.

349
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: He went on and this whole speech about it was

350
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: because of addiction and he's a changed man, and he

351
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: was asking New Yorkers trust him at the ballot box,

352
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: saying he's taken accountability and moved on. So just a warning,

353
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: just a warning, this creepy pervert maybe trying to make

354
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 2: a comeback. Let's go to Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart,

355
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 2: how you doing.

356
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 10: Hey, Mark, carry you. I just want to mention that

357
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 10: Reagan hit Quadaffi in nineteen eighty six after that nightclub bombing. Yeah,

358
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 10: and after that, Kudaffi had been very quiet, very silent.

359
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 10: He wasn't really a threat after that. And when Obama

360
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 10: hit him and basically killed him, the Democrats didn't say anything.

361
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 10: But Kadaffi had had gone underground. He was afraid of

362
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 10: America after that, so so they hit on Kadaffi by

363
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 10: Obama really to me was kind of senseless.

364
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

365
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 10: And the other thing I want to mention was John

366
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 10: Kerry was actually in the service like fifty seven years ago.

367
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 10: Vietnam ended April.

368
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: Thirtieth, fove okay, but when he ran it was two

369
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 2: thousand and four.

370
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 11: So that would have been yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And

371
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 11: his third Purple Heart got him out of Vietnam, and

372
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 11: that one as Vietnam vets pretty much know that he

373
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 11: did that to himself to get him out of there.

374
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 2: Well as the great John McCain said, Kerrie got three

375
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: purple hearts without ever spending a single minute in sick base.

376
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 10: That was not a John McCain fan, but that.

377
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: Is actually a Yeah, McCain said.

378
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 12: He supposedly yeah, well, he supposedly said threw his medals

379
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 12: over the White House fence, and we can't stand him

380
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 12: as much as we can't stand Hanoi.

381
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: Jane, Yeah, all right, Stuart, thanks for yeah, McCain said,

382
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: to carry was obviously just a metal chaser. And the

383
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: reason why that third one, when you got three, you

384
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 2: got to you got to go home. Let's go to

385
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: Jerry and Greenwich. Jerry, how you doing.

00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 13: millions of a Medican life saved in New York to Washington, Philadelphia, Boster.

391
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 13: You know, I think they we've all been wipe it

392
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 13: out of the earth.

393
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 2: No, yeah, that's why they got That's why Schumer got

394
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: so mad. You know, listen, this could be a big

395
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: thing politically. It could be great for Trump. It could

396
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: make them look good. That's why Schumer gets so upset.

397
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: They don't want Trump to succeed on anything. Ever, let's

398

442
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: is underway. Yes, hey, let me ask you about this

443
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: crazy Chuck Schumer. Yesterday he said Trump and his endless war?

444
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: Can you really say endless war? On day four?

445
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 14: Just sos? They have their own definition of the calendar. Now,

446
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 14: the Republicans are having great glee and digging up that

447
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 14: twenty eleven thing from Nancy Pelosi when Barack Obama bombed

448
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 14: Libya and the reporter asked her, does that mean that

449
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 14: Congress doesn't need to approve this? And she said, that's right,

450
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 14: Congress doesn't need to approve it. Then they played it

451
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 14: for the Democrat leader yesterday and he just could smirk

452
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 14: and say, the circumstances are different. What a profound observation. Yes,

453
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 14: Libya is not your ant Oh boy, he learned his geography. Well, so, yes,

454
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 14: four days is a forever war? Ten years nasty?

455
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 2: Okay, Now what about all the all the media Democrats

456
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: are telling you, Dan, this is it. Gas prices, oil prices,

457
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 2: energy will go crazy. We're going to be in terrible

458
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: trouble of the economy. As a result. What's the truth.

459
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 14: The truth is, you could get a spike, but we've

460
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 14: had oil spikes bigger than the ones we've experienced now,

461
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 14: and the markets sort of know, which is why the

462
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 14: stock market always wobbly when you have these uncertainties, but

463
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 14: still holding up fairly well. Knows that won the war.

464
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 14: This war is not forever. It's a matter of weeks,

465
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 14: not years, and that disruptions there may be straight of Hormuz,

466
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 14: who knows what will happen there, especially with insurance rates,

467
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 14: But these are temporary. These are not permanent. And the

468
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 14: real danger is not what's going to happen in the

469
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 14: next four or five weeks. That's going to be dicey,

470
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 14: but what the Federal Reserve might do, thinking, oh, this

471
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 14: is going to raise the inflation rate of inflation and

472
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 14: do something dumb like not cut interest rates. So that

473
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 14: that's what I worry about, is misinterpreting what's happening. This

474
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 14: war will not last more than four weeks, five weeks,

475
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 14: six weeks. And by the way, there's growing pressure not

476
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 14: to send US troops in, but to start arming militias

477
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 14: of Iranians so they can deal with this inside. And

478
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 14: by bombing the police and the military. These citis armed

479
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 14: citizens can take over. You know, we had a citizen's

480
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 14: army in our revolution. These things can work.

481
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. So hey, these New York politicians, especially

482
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 2: the Assembly, now they're talking about a twenty five percent

483
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 2: surcharged tax on corporations and your mom, Donnie, was a

484
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: tax on corporations increase. Isn't that the same thing as

485
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 2: a tariff? I thought they hate tariffs.

486
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 14: Well, it's a matter what you call it, and so,

487
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 14: but it is. It is a tax, and maybe they

488
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 14: should call it a tariff center But anyway, it's a

489
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 14: dumb thing going to hurt the economy of a New

490
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 14: York economy. They're already sneaking in things like vastly increasing

491
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 14: their pension costs and the like. And as we all know,

492
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 14: New York City's budget alone, the city's budget alone is

493
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 14: bigger than the state of Florida, even though Florida has

494
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 14: almost three times as many people as New York. Florida

495
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 14: gets by with a smaller budget than New York City.

496
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 14: And last I look, we don't have we're actually wandering

497
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 14: around Florida the way they do in New York City,

498
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 14: and people seem to be doing all right. We don't

499
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 14: have people dying in the streets or anything like that.

500
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 14: So yes, it's just another self destructive move. And I

501
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 14: just hope with this year's election that we finally get

502
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 14: a governor who realizes you want to have businesses grow,

503
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 14: not destroyed.

504
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me ask you an inflation question. Maybe it's

505
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: a stupid question, but you get inflation, the prices go up,

506
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: and then if you solve the problem, you stop the inflation,

507
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: but you never get the prices to go down. Correct.

508
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 14: Well, you can get when costs go up, Yeah, they

509
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 14: get it embedded. But with the spikes that we see,

510
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 14: the spikes that we see now in oil, that is

511
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 14: very though. Gasoline prices and certain food prices are very sensitive,

512
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 14: so they can go up, but we also know they

513
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 14: can go down. Going back to a year, you know,

514
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 14: centuries ago and Joe Biden was allegedly president, we all

515
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 14: know what happened to gas prices and even though they're

516
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 14: spiking now, still way below than when Donald Trump took

517
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 14: office for a second term. So these things will sort

518
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 14: themselves out. And the key thing is not the panic.

519
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 14: See this thing through and the oil price, the markets

520
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 14: will readjust and remember we're a big oil producer, We're

521
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 14: a big natural gas producer. So it's Venezuela and so

522
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 14: and Iran when it gets a new government, which eventually

523
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 14: will is also a major oil producer. And one of

524
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 14: the things that a new Iranian government is not going

525
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 14: to do is so discounted oil to a country called China.

526
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: Now, if you get the right government there, you could

527
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: really increase the flow of oil we have. That would

528
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: really bring the prices down. But what about our relationship

529
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: with Saudi Do you think we have to make some

530
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 2: kind of agreement them not to drop the price too much.

531
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 14: Well, I think the Saudis wants stability and one of

532
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 14: the things that they've worked on is is to make

533
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 14: sure oil didn't spike. And also they want stability, so

534
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 14: they don't want it to go too low, but they

535
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 14: don't want it to go too high because then they

536
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 14: know that leads to all sorts of cheating and bring

537
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 14: a new supply on. So they want control. They don't

538
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 14: have the kind of control they had in the past

539
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 14: by a long shot. But the thing is in terms

540
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 14: of the war, and I think the markets recognize this. Again,

541
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 14: these are temporary disruptions. These are not four year, six

542
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 14: year disruptions. These are four weeks, six weeks, pick a number,

543
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 14: But they're not forever disruptions.

544
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, let me ask you one more question AI.

545
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: Five years from now, how are we going to feel

546
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: about AI? A We're going to think it's a wonderful

547
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: thing and it worked out perfectly. Or are we going

548
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: to be furious that hundreds of tens of millions of

549
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: people got laid off?

550
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 14: Well, I think we're well with AI. It's like anything

551
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 14: can be used for good or for evil. But I

552
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 14: think if we have the right kind of economy, I e.

553
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 14: Continue to reduce regulations in the like I hope President

554
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 14: Trump goes for another tax cut and so you get

555
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 14: a booming economy. We'll cope with the disruptions of AI.

556
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 14: You know, I live through it in the print industry.

557
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 14: You know, the print industry is upended in the nineteen

558
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 14: nineties by the Internet and so huge adjustments there. But

559
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 14: in a free econom me, you go with it and

560
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 14: we all end up more prosperous. And I think I've mentioned.

561
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 6: That with AI.

562
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 14: Whoever invented that name artificial intelligence should be shunned. We

563
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 14: don't call we don't call cars artificial horses, and we

564
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 14: don't call airplanes artificial birds. My friend Mark Mills made

565
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 14: that observation. And by the way, and in closing on that,

566
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 14: over two hundred and twenty years ago, there was great

567
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 14: fears of this thing called electricity, and you had medical

568
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 14: students taking cadavers and you know, giving them jolts of electricity,

569
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 14: and the bodies bounced around. Everyone's wondering, good lord, can

570
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 14: we create life with electricity jolts? That's how we got

571
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 14: the novel Frankenstein. Wow, Well we didn't get we didn't

572
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 14: get we didn't get the body Frankenstein's coming out of

573
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 14: the labs. We've got great entertainments. So yes, with any

574
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 14: with humans, nothing is perfect. But I think AI one

575
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 14: of the big things in AI, by the way, is

576
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 14: going to be And then the coming years, faster approval

577
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 14: development approval of new medicines and their new medical devices

578
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 14: instead of ten or twelve years, will be able to

579
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 14: eventually do it in ten or twelve months. That'll be

580
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 14: a great thing.

581
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: Wow, that's an amazing point. People were afraid of electricity

582
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: cable Well, Steve, Steve Forbes, great as always, thanks for

Speaker 2: I wouldn't call that endless. Schumer has never once said

613
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 2: Ukraine is an endless war. It's year five, and he

614
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 2: hasn't said that. They look so silly, these people. You

615
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 2: got Richard Blumenthal, he's the Schumer of Connecticut. Another gloomy

616
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: old fossil old, washed up old dinosaur. Bloomenthal saying he's

617
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 2: worried the US may deploy soldiers in Iran boots on

618
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: the ground. I think Trump has made it pretty clear

619
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: no boots on the ground really not necessary. We've wiped

620
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: out everything in record time, four days, and we've destroyed

621
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of everything there. We should be done

622
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks and then that's it. There's

623
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 2: no need for boots on the ground. There could possibly

624
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 2: be boots on the ground, but it won't be us.

625
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: It'll be local militias that will arm and supply. That

626
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 2: could happen now the courts. The big thing is you

627
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: got to worry about who takes over. You needed to

628
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: be the right group. You know, what we're doing in

629
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: Iran is exactly what Barack Obama did in Libya. Now

630
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: he's a Democrat, so it was okay when he does it.

631
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 2: It's fine, great when he does it. But the democrat,

632
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: what a decisive, brilliant leader. If it's a republican today,

633
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: illegal war, it's a violation of Obama did it in Libya.

634
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 2: But you know, years later in an interview, when Obama

635
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: was asked the biggest regret that he had as president,

636
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 2: he actually said it was when he went to war

637
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: in o Libya and wiped out Gaddafi and got rid

638
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 2: of him and killed him. He said he should have

639
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 2: been better prepared for the aftermath. They carried out the strikes.

640
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: It was designed to protect the population. They got Kadafi,

641
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 2: he was killed, but Obama said he regretted he hadn't

642
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 2: planned more because Libya did plunge into chaos with Malitias

643
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 2: taken over for civil war, all that sort of stuff. Now,

644
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: Trump obviously a much more highly skilled manager than Obama.

645
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 2: Trump has managed hundreds of thousands employees, managed a global

646
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 2: empire for forty years. Obama never had a real job

647
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 2: before before getting into politics. He was what did they

648
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: call that, a community organizer. Nobody knows what the hell

649
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 2: that is. But he's never managed anything. So Trump much

650
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 2: more management skill, and I think that's the big difference. Hey,

651
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 2: Epstein hearings, they're going to call in Howard Lutnick. Now,

652
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 2: why what does Lutnick have to do with Epstein? Basically nothing.

653
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: He had lunch with him once. Lutnik years ago bought

654
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 2: a townhouse on seventy first Street and the guy next

655
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 2: door was a guy named Jeffrey Epstein. That's how they met.

656
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: He was the next door neighbor. You know, we have

657
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 2: these townhouses, they're actually connected. I mean the two walls

658
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 2: actually touch each other. You should like share a wall

659
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 2: in between. So that's how he met Epstein. I think

660
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 2: one time he took a tour of Epstein's house and

661
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: then Epstein kept bugging him to have lunch because Howard

662
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 2: Lutnick back then was a big deal. He was the

663
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 2: chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald. So Epstein always trying to woo

664
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 2: and court anybody who's anybody, and kept begging Epstein to

665
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 2: come to lunch. And Epstein had a big yacht, I mean,

666
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: Lutnik had a big yacht. And he was down there

667
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: in the Caribbean, not far from the island, and he said, okay,

668
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 2: we'll stop by for lunch. When he said we will

669
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: stop by for lunch, it was Howard Lutnick, his wife,

670
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 2: his four kids, two nannies, and they had a number

671
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 2: another couple with them that had kids and nannies. And

672
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 2: he said to be okay if we bring them. So,

673
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: I mean, the only thing we learned from this, don't

674
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: ever invite Howard Lutnick to lunch. Because suddenly he had

675
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 2: fourteen people show up. But Epstein didn't mind. But so

676
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: Lutnick came, but with like twelve other people and that

677
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 2: was it. So he'll testify. There's nothing to testify about.

678
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: But it'll look good. It'll look like we see we

679
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: called and we called in somebody from the Trump administration.

680
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: Now Hillary Clinton testified, and if you saw the video,

681
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 2: she didn't look so bad. I mean, listen, she's not

682
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 2: gonna win any beauty contest. I mean she but she

683
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: didn't look as bad as you thought she would look.

684
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes you see a picture of her, she

685
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 2: looks like just like a drunken old hag. But in

686
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 2: this she looked not so bad. Well, it turns out

687
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 2: the committee now revealed that the Hillary team showed up

688
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: and demanded all kinds of things, you know. They to

689
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 2: do this, They rented the Chapequa Performing Arts Center. It

690
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 2: was like a little theater and they set up like

691
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: a table where the people being interviewed would sit, and

692
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 2: behind it was a black curtain which belonged to the theater.

693
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 2: It was part of the theater. Well, apparently the Hillary

694
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: team didn't like it. They wanted something softer. They wanted

695
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: a nice blue background. They found a local vendor to manufacture.

696
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 2: It had to be built quickly. They built a special

697
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 2: set for her, the nice blue thing behind her. They

698
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 2: wanted special lighting to make her look good. They wanted

699
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 2: what they call beauty lightning. Beauty lighting. Beauty lighting is

700
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: sometimes when you're on television, you know there's lights above you,

701
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: there's lights on the side, there's lights behind you. Beauty

702
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 2: lighting is they put lights below you shining up, like

703
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 2: when you're on a TV show. Sometimes you know, see

704
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 2: the desk, you're all sitting at a desk, and it's

705
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: like a beautiful glass top. Actually loose sight. It's like

706
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: a loose sight top. Well sometimes underneath there's light in there.

707
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 2: There's all kinds of little lights shining up into your face.

708
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: It takes out the wrinkles. So if you have the

709
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: lights above, it'll create a shadow on the bags under

710
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 2: your eyes. It'll put a little shadow. You can see

711
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 2: the wrinkles. But if you put a light under the

712
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: table shining up, it takes out the shadows from the

713
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: wrinkles or the bags and you look younger. So Hillary's

714
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: team demanded this beauty lighting be put in. And then

715
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: they wanted you remember on the table that had a

716
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 2: white tablecloth. The reason they wanted that if you put

717
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 2: a white tablecloth, it reflects the light, so more light

718
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 2: will come shining up into your face and make it

719
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 2: look softer and get rid of the wrinkles. Hillary's team

720
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: tested the lighting. They had somebody sit in the chair

721
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 2: and they adjusted the lights while the test person sat

722
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: in the chair. They moved the camera angles to make

723
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 2: her look good. This was the result. Now if you

724
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 2: saw there's still look pretty bad, but you looked apparently

725
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: a lot better than she could have. And it helped

726
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton a little. It softened him up, made him

727
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: look a little better. Hey, he's heard he saw that plane.

728
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 2: Remember the plane that went down in the Hudson. What

729
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: was his name, Sully Sullenberger, that great pilot. The engines

730
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 2: went He had no engines. He couldn't get to Laguardi

731
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 2: with that. The engines just went off. Bird strike knocked

732
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 2: out his engines and you're without any power. Now, it

733
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 2: turns out this old veteran pilot, Sally Sullenberger, he's been

734
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 2: a pilot in Vietnam. And it turned out he had

735
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 2: a lot of training as a glider pilot. I mean,

736
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: what are the odds of that. You're on this plane

737
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, all the engines are out, and

738
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 2: this guy's a trained glider pilot. He knew how to

739
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 2: glide the plane right into the Hudson. You have to

740
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: keep the wings absolutely level and steady in the right angle.

741
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 2: And he landed that plane in the Hudson. Now, This

742
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: is a little easier because it's a little tiny plane.

743
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: But it's flying way way up the Hudson, upstate, and

744
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 2: it crashed. A little tiny private plane crashed. Here's the

745
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 2: transmission to the control tower. They're trying to get him

746
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 2: to the airport in this emergency.

747
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 15: We're going to go into the hot to Curio.

748
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 14: Say that against, We're.

749
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 15: Going into the Hudson River. I don't think we're gonna

750
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 15: make the airport.

751
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 2: Sounds like a pretty experienced pilot if you could say,

752
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 2: we're going to go into the Hudson. What's that? Uh,

753
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 2: we're gonna go into the Hudson. I mean, how do

754
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: you stay that calm? Remember that Sally Sullenburger audio is

755
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 2: the same thing. We're gonna land in the Hudson. What

756
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 2: you say we're gonna land in the Hudson. I mean

757
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 2: if if that were me or anybody, we'd be saying,

758
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 2: I mean, you'd be going crazy.

759
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 11: Me.

760
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 2: Listen that again. How calm this guy is.

761
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 15: We're going to go into the Hosonario. Say it against,

762
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 15: We're going into the Hudson River. I don't think we're

763
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 15: gonna make the airport.

764
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 10: Now.

765
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 9: Uh.

766
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: And this guy's a lot like Sullenberger. Sullenberger knew when

767
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: he was going to go into the Hudson where to

768
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 2: put the plane down. You could go north of the

769
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 2: George Washington Bridge, but he knew to turn and go

770
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 2: south because if you went south of the George Washing Bridge,

771
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 2: you'd be right near all the docks and piers and

772
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: rescue equipment they could get to you. You go north,

773
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 2: there's your farther away. He knew goes south of the bridge,

774
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 2: and that's where all the rescue stuff would be. And

775
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 2: they to him very very quickly. Same thing with this guy.

776
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 2: He knew like to go here, put this part of

777
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: the ting to be close to the part where the

778
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 2: rescue stuff would be coming from. Pretty amazing. Hey, Christy

779
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 2: Nome had to testify yesterday. I don't know about this,

780
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: Christy Nome. I don't know how long she's gonna last.

781
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. You know, there's all kinds of things

782
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 2: coming out, Like her department, Homeland Security was shutdown, all

783
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 2: the funding was cut, no more funding because of this

784
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 2: crazy shutdown, government shutdown. And she's blaming this for you know,

785
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: homeland security. Right now, with the Iran conflict, you need

786
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 2: homeland security to look for any possible Iranian terrorist terrorist

787
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 2: cells here. But she's getting all kinds of flight now.

788
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 2: For instance, you know, she spent all this money she

789
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: bought a big, huge, enormous private jet basically for her

790
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 2: to fly around on. She claimed it was going to

791
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 2: be to transport deportees. But it's not.

792
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 8: It's not.

793
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 2: It's a it's got a bedroom in it. It's got

794
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: and you know, she's got this Corey Lewandowski with her,

795
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 2: and everybody keeps saying they're sleeping together. They're both married

796
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 2: and having this affair. So the plane with the bedroom,

797
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, you do the math on that. But

798
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 2: now she's getting hit for spending two hundred and twenty

799
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 2: million dollars of taxpayer funded funds to pay for TV ads.

800
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: Now the ads star her, two hundred and twenty million

801
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 2: on ads that feature her. I guess it's making herself

802
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 2: very famous there. When asked about this in the hearings,

803
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 2: she said, well, the President Trump told me to get

804
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 2: the message out to the country and to other countries.

805
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: Well that's the message, it's not put your face all

806
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 2: over television. Then well, here she was testifying yesterday about

807
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 2: the shutdown and all that.

808
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 17: The latest Democrat led shutdown of DHS is reckless, it's unnecessary,

809
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 17: and it undermines the American national security, and it harms

810
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 17: the men and women who work at DHS and their families.

811
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 2: Now there's one Democrat, Senator Coons, is going after her

812
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: about you know, what if ICE agents showed up at

813
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: the polls when it's voting time? What if ICE agents

814
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 2: were there? Of course they could scare away the illegals.

815
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 2: I mean, who else would you be scared of? An

816
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 2: ICE agent?

817
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 14: Now?

818
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 2: But he asked her about this, will.

819
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 14: You rule out the deployment of ICE or CBP to

820
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 14: polling places this November?

821
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 17: There are no plans to have ICE officers at our

822
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:29,959
Speaker 17: polling locations.

823
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 14: And I'm glad you hear that, But would you rule

824
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 14: it out? Would you say it will not happen?

825
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 17: Do you plan on illegal aliens voting in our elections?

826
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 14: Sona, do not?

827
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: Okay? All right, that was pretty good. Why would you

828
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 2: be afraid of? I just hope you don't send them.

829
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 2: Why would you hope there's no law enforcement at a

830
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: polling place? That doesn't make much sense. It's a little crazy. Hey,

831
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 2: you know, ozempic is more and more. This is not

832
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 2: just ozempic. There's like a bunch of these drugs, they

833
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 2: call them GLP one drugs. It takes away a lot

834
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 2: of your Appithay, you still eat, but you eat a

835
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: lot lot less. So restaurants were going nuts because people

836
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 2: there on ozempic and they can't eat that much, so

837
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 2: they don't order as much. It's costing restaurants money. Now

838
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 2: a lot of restaurants started to do a special ozempic

839
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 2: menu where it's small portions. You know, otherwise you order

840
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 2: a whole big entree, you gotta throw away sometimes half

841
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 2: of it, three quarters of it. But the problem with

842
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 2: the ozempic menu, you're gonna get a small portion. You

843
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 2: can't charge as much, you gotta charge less. So it

844
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 2: doesn't really help the restaurant at all. And now bakeries

845
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 2: are complaining. A lot of bakeries in the trist area

846
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: they've seen a big drop in business because of this ozempic.

847
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 2: Big Gardland news day to day. Here's a Messina market,

848
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 2: East Norwich, Oyster Bay. I love that Messina market, it's great,

849
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,919
Speaker 2: but they own the bakery next door. They said they've

850
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: seen a big drop. Here's a couple of bakeries in

851
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 2: Long Island seen a big drop in business. Now some

852
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 2: of them they're gonna do the same thing. They'll sell

853
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 2: little tiny items for the ozmbic people. So you can

854
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 2: buy a tiny croissant, you can buy a tiny donut,

855
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 2: you can buy a little pastry. But again the problem

856
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: is you can't charge as much. You got to cut

857
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 2: the price. So it really doesn't help the bakeries. Now,

858
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: if you own a bakery, I guess the only going

859
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 2: to tell you is just keep waiting, because once the

860
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 2: side effects from all these drugs start to show up

861
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: and hit people less unless people will be taken them. Now,

862
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 2: the ozampic is like twelve hundred dollars a shot, although

863
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 2: President Trump is working on getting that down to five

864
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: hundred is shot. It's got side effects. I mean, we've

865
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 2: already seen you get that ozempic face where you everything's

866
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 2: just starts drooping in your face. You can see it.

867
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 2: It's ozembic face. It doesn't look good. Then you got

868
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 2: the apparently there's problems with your teeth from ozambic, all

869
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 2: kinds of teeth problems. So I would wait, you know what,

870
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 2: there's a freeway to lose weight, just eat less you

871
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: can actually actually do it. Hey, big announcement this morning,

Speaker 7: running in New York City and the best talk radio station.

00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 7: Joining with you, Larry and the crew there at WOOR,

881
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 7: I come back to what people have been asking me

882
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 7: to do ever since I lost the election on November fourth,

883
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 7: a lot of people said, when are you getting back?

884
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 6: When are you getting back to talk radio?

885
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 2: Well, Monday, Monday, he'll start with Larry Mante. Now, it's

886
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 2: tough to do a morning show. I can't do it.

887
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 2: It's just too tough. You got to get up, like,

888
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 2: I don't know, if it show starts at six, you

889
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 2: got to get up at I don't know, four thirty five. Now,

890
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 2: some of these all these morning guys, you know, they

891
00:48:58,280 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 2: live way out in the suburbs. They got to get

892
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 2: up at three o'clock and what I mean. I've had

893
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 2: to do a morning show through the years, filling in

894
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 2: a lot of times for Curtis. But if at the

895
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 2: morning show six to ten, I would get there at

896
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 2: six oh four, because you got a newscast to six

897
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 2: oh five. Curtis, if he has a morning show at six,

898
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: he'll get there at two. He's the hardest working guy.

899
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 2: In fact, Curtis will sleep at the station. That's how

900
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 2: dedicated he is. But remember, for years he had like

901
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 2: the number one morning show in New York. It was

902
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 2: Curtis and Kooby. We could live without Kobe much better

903
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 2: with Curtis and Larry. And that all starts Monday and

904
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 2: on seven to ten. Wor Hey, we'll take some calls.

00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 18: that I can't get anywhere else.

918
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 2: You want to borrow money? What is all this flattery about.

919
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 18: I don't appreciate you knocking Kooby.

920
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 2: He's a friend of mine. We're not We're not knocking

921
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 2: ron Koby. It's just he would tragic crazy with the

922
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 2: left wing opinions.

923
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 18: Okay, he he cannot possibly be more annoying than Curtis Sliwa.

924
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 2: Oh no, we love, we love, we love Curtis. We

925
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 2: love Curtis.

926
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 18: When the two of them get together, you're.

927
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 2: A little annoying.

928
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 18: I learned so much from that show. I was so

929
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 18: sorry when ron Koby got off the radio. It's all

930
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 18: I'm saying, the two of them.

931
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. He's a good guy. We just said,

932
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 2: you know, he think he was like the audience would

933
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 2: go crazy with his left one.

934
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 18: I just I just wanted to make that point. Thank

935
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 18: you very much for taking my car.

936
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for Colin. Let's go to rich In

939
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 19: You know, the big news last night was Crockett is out,

940
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 19: that kane wielding Green is out, and Ben Crenshaw is

941
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 19: out in their primaries, and I was Ben Crenshaw was

942
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 19: going off the reservation as a Republican. I'm glad he

943
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 19: got primaried out. But you got rid of Crockett. You

944
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 19: got rid of that guy, Al Green or whatever his

945
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 19: name is. The Only problem is they're on our doll

946
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 19: for the rest of their lives with free healthcare and

947
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 19: everything because they did one term in Congress.

948
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 2: It's worth it just to get rid of them. We'll

949
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 2: pay it. If they'll leave, we'll pay their healthcare. Thanks

950
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 2: for Colin. Let's go to h Richard in Bay Shore. Richard,

951
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:51,439
Speaker 2: how you doing.

952
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 12: I'm doing a well fucking morning. Three politicians with zero

953
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 12: military experience, Chuck Schumer, Kim Jeffries, and of course previous

954
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 12: president's name I've forgotten Obama Lincoln served Obama Biden. Lincoln

955
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 12: served in the militia for ninety days, the defeated of

956
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 12: the West Point trained one time Secretary of War Jefferson Davis.

957
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 2: So that's good, very good point. Yeah, there are times

958
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 2: when Democrats get so desperate they'll actually attack somebody. If

959
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 2: a Republican goes to ward, they'll attack them. You never served,

960
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 2: you never served, you never served. They tried this nonsense.

961
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 2: First of all, there hasn't been a draft in a

962
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 2: million years. I think Bill Clinton was the first, I believe,

963
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 2: the first president with no military experience. It like in

964
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 2: our lifetime. But after a certain point, nobody has any

965
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 2: military experience. There was no draft, so nobody served anymore.

966
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 2: I mean, there are people who, thank God, they serve,

967
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 2: but it's this tiny, tiny percentage of population. Now let's

968
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 2: go to in White Plaines, Tony. How you doing it?

969
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 20: Yeah, good morning, Mark. I want to congratulate Curtis Slatto

970
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 20: over there on the other station. He kept saying, well,

971
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 20: where's Curtis?

972
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 6: Now?

973
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 20: Where's he now? Well he's on a good station. W

974
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 20: o R. At least now maybe people could call up

975
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 20: and give their opinion about the election instead. And I'm

976
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,240
Speaker 20: cutting them off, and they keep playing Curtis that Curtis

977
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 20: is the reason why Montdomin he got elected. Are you

978
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 20: kidding me? They're the reason from day.

979
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:30,720
Speaker 6: One the problem.

980
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 2: The problem was in that election. I don't know how

981
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 2: this happened. It just there was a book once called

982
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 2: The Madness of Crowds. It was the craziest group think.

983
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 2: They somehow got it through their head that Andrew Cromo

984
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 2: could get elected, which was absolutely insane. The guy just

985
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 2: got run out of office. He just left office in disgrace.

986
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 2: He had a flea allbity, being chased by the police.

987
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just I guess, And if you

988
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 2: waited fifteen years you could run, but two seconds later

989
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 2: you can't run after you just left in disgrace. It

990
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 2: was insane. But they somehow convinced themselves that he actually

991
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 2: had a shot. Even the Democrats wouldn't vote for him.

992
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 2: He lost the primary. If it wasn't for Cuoma, you

993
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 2: wouldn't have Mom Donnie. He chased the Adams out of

994
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 2: the primary. Had Adams been in the primary, he had

995
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 2: a shot at beating Mom Donnie and Curtis had nothing

996
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 2: to do with Cuomo losing. Nothing, absolutely nothing. You can

997
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 2: prove it mathematically. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn.

998
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 21: Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mack. I'm okay. Most

999
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 21: people don't notice, but Barack Obama destabilized Libya. Libya seventy

1000
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 21: years ago was at a colony of Italy, and at

1001
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 21: one point I believe it was Kadafi that tried to

1002
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 21: take out Ronald Reagan or George Bush. Yes, and they

1003
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 21: put a missile in his tent and killed his kid.

1004
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,720
Speaker 21: And after that he was walking the straight and narrow.

1005
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 21: He gave up his missiles and of his really hard

1006
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,760
Speaker 21: military stuff and he was kind of walking the straight line.

1007
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 21: Sure there was a lot of bladder over there. But

1008
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 21: I saw on Italian TV when the rebels, actually the

1009
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 21: rebels who actually turned out to ruin the country found Kadaffi.

1010
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 21: He was hiding in her drainage and they grabbed him.

1011
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 21: The crowd was yelling and this and that, and they're

1012
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 21: pushing and shoving him along, and all of a sudden

1013
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 21: you hear a bullet being fired and they put a

1014
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 21: cap in the back of his head. But by it

1015
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 21: to that, the terrorists who were in Libya, he kept

1016
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 21: them in line. Kadaffi kept them in line. And this

1017
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 21: is what I'm going to say, is Vincent's opinion set

1018
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 21: money out of this conflict. This is not w wa

1019
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 21: this And I know by stocking North American waityar because

1020
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 21: as Richuals from South Carolina will tell you, all the

1021
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 21: guidance devices in these missiles are made by Ray.

1022
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, a lot of there's a lot of uh,

1023
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 2: defense contractors. We're gonna have to replace all of the

1024
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 2: one of them is Raydon. All right, Vincent, thanks for calling.

1025
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to replace all of this stuff. So

1026
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: defense contractors are going to make a fortune. Hey when

1027
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 2: we come back. Steve Cuzo, the great New York Post columnist, Uh,

Speaker 2: is there everybody leaving? The waiting you hear the actual facts.

1030
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 2: We'll get to that next on seven to ten WR.

1031
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: On sevent ten WR, he's more of the marks Emosia.

00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 2: Well, let's see how New York is actually doing. The

1033
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 2: great columnist, Steve Cuzo, New York Post. Nobody better on

1034
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 2: real estate, on restaurants. Steve Cuzo's columns are all in

1035
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 2: the New York Post website. You can you can see

1036
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 2: them all there. Steve Cuzo, how you doing?

1037
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Mark, Good thank you. No.

1038
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 2: So every time I turn on, somebody's that's it. Everybody's

1039
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 2: leaving New York. Everybody's moving, everybody's what's the truth.

1040
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,959
Speaker 8: Yeah, nobody's leading.

1041
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 22: I don't know anybody who's leaving all my friends are

1042
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,919
Speaker 22: trying to get back to town. They're stuck in Palm Beach,

1043
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 22: problems with the planes, all that kind of stuff.

1044
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 8: So no, nobody's leaving. It's all boloney.

1045
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 22: And in fact, if you look around, there's more real

1046
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:23,439
Speaker 22: estate investment than ever. I read that there's a couple

1047
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 22: of apartments or townhouses on the Upper east Side that

1048
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 22: sold for crazy numbers. So there's almost no office space

1049
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 22: left because.

1050
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 8: The company companies are are.

1051
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 22: Expanding, signing new leases, and there's new and there's.

1052
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 8: New construction going on.

1053
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 22: And the big best news of all for the city

1054
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 22: is that American Express AMEX announced last week they're building

1055
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 22: a new building at the World Trade Center to be

1056
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 22: their headquarters. You know, there's a site called Tower two

1057
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 22: or two World Trade Center that was never.

1058
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 8: Developed after nine to eleven.

1059
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 22: The other buildings went up, but that corner Fulton and

1060
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 22: the Church Street has been empty. It's like it's being

1061
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:14,439
Speaker 22: used as a beer garden and an art installation. And

1062
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 22: Larry Silverstein, the developer, is going to build this new beautiful,

1063
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 22: twelve hundred foot tall skyscraper for MX, which is going

1064
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 22: to move from where they currently are right nearby, and

1065
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 22: it's an extraordinary thing. It's confidence in the city and

1066
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 22: it's also reflects you know, it's it finally completes the

1067
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 22: World Trade Center. A quarter century after nine to eleven,

1068
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 22: we're finally going.

1069
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 8: To get the last piece of the puzzle. That's great news.

1070
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 2: How old is Larry Silverstein got to be in his nineties,

1071
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 2: ninety four, and he's going to build a.

1072
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 8: Sky spry he's very spry.

1073
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 22: Well, he's not going to be down on his hands

1074
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 22: and knees, you know, he's not going to be wielding

1075
00:58:58,200 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 22: a shovel.

1076
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 2: When you're the builder, you're in there fighting with unions

1077
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 2: and arguing everybody.

1078
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 22: Actually, you know, Silverstein has very good relationships with the

1079
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 22: construction unions. Not all developers use union labor. He does,

1080
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 22: and it's it's never been a problem. And I suspect

1081
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 22: that whenever they schedule a groundbreaking, likely in the next

1082
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 22: quite soon, within the next few months, you'll see Larry

1083
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 22: Silverstein there, you know, for the photo op with the shovel.

1084
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good for him. So I also notice there's

1085
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 2: buildings going There's like a huge skyscraper going up at

1086
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 2: fifty eighth in Madison. There's one going up at Park Avenue,

1087
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 2: and fifty second. There's yeah, dozens of these planned.

1088
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,919
Speaker 22: So there are two of them on Madison Avenue. One

1089
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 22: is at like roughly fifty eighth Street. The other is

1090
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 22: two or three blocks north. Developers are Extel and related

1091
00:59:54,320 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 22: companies and the ones, you know, the round has been excavated.

1092
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 22: The other is I think beginning construction, and there'll be

1093
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 22: new combination condo apartments, uh, some office space, partly hotels,

1094
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 22: and of course a lot of retail because it's Madison Avenue,

1095
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 22: you know, the world's greatest shopping boulevard.

1096
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. So these are the smartest real estate guys in

1097
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 2: the world, these companies what they wouldn't be building here

1098
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 2: if they had any doubt about New York having a

1099
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 2: big future.

1100
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 8: Even with Mom down it's so true, even with Mum.

1101
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 22: It'll be interesting if he shows up for the groundbreaking

1102
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 22: of the Amex tower. But yes, they are among the

1103
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 22: smartest people in the world.

1104
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 8: You don't hear.

1105
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 22: About as you read about in Miami sometimes La even

1106
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 22: in London sometimes about excuse me, developers that over they're

1107
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 22: over leveraged. They borrowed too much money, the demand wasn't

1108
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 22: there for their product, and so their buildings go into

1109
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 22: foreclosure and they have to get failed by the banks.

1110
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 22: I mean, this happens in New York, as it does everywhere,

1111
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 22: but not at the highest level, which is very impressive.

1112
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 2: Wow. Hey, So I remember after nine to eleven, everybody said, well,

1113
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 2: nobody will ever go downtown again, nobody will ever open downtown.

1114
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 8: Of course, that's nobody. Cities were going to be dead.

1115
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 22: Remember, not just New York, but cities are dead because

1116
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 22: there's too much of a threat to of terrorism everywhere,

1117
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 22: and nobody's going to want to be concentrated in a

1118
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 22: small area. And you know we laughed at that. We

1119
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 22: didn't laugh, so it was taken seriously at the time.

1120
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 22: I never believed that. And then you have other catastrophes

1121
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 22: of the lesser order. You had Hurricane Sandy, you had

1122
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 22: the Wall Street crash of what is it eight I think,

1123
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 22: and when you had a lot of companies have to

1124
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 22: contract their space, and of course the worst of all,

1125
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 22: which was the pandemic.

1126
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they said, nobody will ever go back

1127
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 2: to work in an office.

1128
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 22: Nobody's ever going back to work in the office.

1129
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 6: Is it's over.

1130
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 8: And even some very smart people believe that. I never did.

1131
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 22: Yeah, maybe I'm not one of the smart ones, but

1132
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 22: look what's happened. You can't move in midtown?

1133
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 8: Excuse me? It's so full of life and.

1134
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 22: There's very little, as I mentioned, very little office space

1135
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,919
Speaker 22: still available because demand is so high.

1136
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 2: Wow. So uh now what about restaurants? You still got?

1137
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 2: Every time I turn around, there's another big restaurant opening.

1138
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 2: So obviously, yeah, demand is there.

1139
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 8: Demand is there.

1140
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 22: And the funniest thing is that if you read the

1141
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 22: you know, the food media, the blogs and all this stuff,

1142
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 22: all they write.

1143
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 8: About is vegan vegan veganness.

1144
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 22: Obscure cuisine combinations, you know, Mexican, Malaysia, and all these

1145
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 22: kind of crazy things. But what people really want is steak.

1146
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 22: And so right now I think there are probably more

1147
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 22: steakhouses in the city than.

1148
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 8: There ever were, more new.

1149
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 22: Ones I just read in the last I'm so sorry

1150
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 22: the last few days, last few days. There's a new hotel,

1151
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 22: a Kimpton Hotel right near my office on West forty

1152
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 22: eighth Street, which is developed by Extel, and that hotel

1153
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 22: is going to have four restaurants or three restaurants in

1154
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 22: a lounge, and one of the restaurants is Roco de Spirito.

1155
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 22: You know the great Italian American chef. But the other

1156
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 22: is a big steak, a Latin steakhouse. I don't remember

1157
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 22: the name, but there you go, another steakhouse. And then

1158
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 22: I read that there's another steakhouse which I can't recall

1159
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 22: the name of.

1160
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 8: There were just so darn many.

1161
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 22: On near Eighth Avenue or on eighth Avenue in Midtown.

1162
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 8: The appetite is insatiable for red meat.

1163
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 22: And it's remarkable because the price of beef at the

1164
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 22: wholesale level has gone up enormously over the last ten years.

1165
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 22: Anyone in the business will will explain that the herds,

1166
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 22: for various reasons, the herds at the large ranches to

1167
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 22: be reduced in numbers, so there was less supply. At

1168
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 22: the same time, there was still this insatiable demand, so

1169
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 22: prices have gone up. Other prices have come down, the

1170
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 22: price of chicken, the price price.

1171
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 8: Of eggs has come down.

1172
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 22: But for people who love meat, red meat, none.

1173
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 8: Of it seems to make a difference.

1174
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 22: Steakhouses open and they put there like palladinos or I'm happy,

1175
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 22: happy to be going. This evening has great steak, and

1176
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 22: the prices are gone up, but only a little, not

1177
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 22: that much.

1178
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you go to a restaurant in the steakhouse

1179
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 2: and it's eighty dollars for the steak, they're paying like

1180
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 2: seventy eight dollars for the steak. It's not that they're

1181
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 2: trying to get.

1182
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 8: They're not gouging. They're not gouging at all.

1183
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 22: And you know, they restaurants are very, very creative people.

1184
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 22: They have to adapt and so you know, they can

1185
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 22: tweak their menus, they can tweak their labor costs to

1186
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,919
Speaker 22: an extent, and somehow they always come through.

1187
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 8: You know, after a nightmare of the pandemic, when.

1188
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 22: Restaurants literally in New York City had to close, and

1189
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 22: then when they were allowed.

1190
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 8: To reopen, they were reopened.

1191
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 22: In this grudging way, you know, only serving on the street,

1192
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 22: limited capacity.

1193
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 8: Everybody had to wear masks. You remember, we all had

1194
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 8: to go to restaurants. You how to have your temperature taken.

1195
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 8: Do you remember that?

1196
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 22: And so how if an industry, a business that can

1197
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 22: survive that kind of collective trauma can survive anything. You know,

1198
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 22: an incidental increase in the price of steak is not

1199
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 22: going to make a difference.

1200
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Steve Cuzo, we're out of time. But if

1201
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 2: you want to read some great columns or restaurants about

1202
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 2: real estate, about New York, Steve Cuzou New York Post website.

1203
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 2: You can get all his columns there. Steve Cuzo in

1204
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 2: the New York Post. Steve Cuzo, great stuff. Thanks for

1205
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 2: being with us.

1206
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 8: Thank you. Mark always fun.

1207
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 2: Take care. Yeah, so that's true at the stake. You know,

1208
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 2: if it's eighty dollars the restaurant, it's like seventy eight

1209
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 2: to them. They're not even making a profit. In fact,

1210
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 2: they only make the profit on the side dish. If

1211
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 2: you ordered broccoli, it's like fifteen dollars and it cost

1212
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 2: them twelve cents. So if you don't order a side dish,

1213
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 2: they go crazy. Anyway, don't forget Buck and Clay. They'll

1214
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 2: be here right after the news at twelve noon with

1215
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 2: an excellent show. And I don't know if you heard

1216
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 2: Curtis Sliwa beginning Monday, he'll be co hosting the Morning

1217
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 2: Show with Larry every day starting Monday here on seven

1218
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,760
