1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: He knows his way around all this.

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: It's the Mark Simone Show on seven tenor.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 3: Well it's Friday. Normally that's great, you're looking forward to

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 3: a wonderful weekend. But this weekend you'll uh, well, Saturday,

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 3: it's going to be bitterly cold. It will be a

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 3: real feel of like minus five or something all day Saturday,

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: so you're not going to really want to be out

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 3: much on Saturday. And then Sunday you got the storm,

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 3: the snow all day long. It will start overnight Saturday,

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 3: about two, three, four in the morning, it'll start snowing.

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 3: It'll snow all day Sunday. It won't stop, it'll pile up.

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 3: It'll snow overnight Sunday night. It'll stop somewhere Monday morning,

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: maybe come back a little here and there in the afternoon,

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: and then that'll be it. But most likely forecast six

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 3: to eight inches. The different various models show a range

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: of four to twelve inches, but figure six to eight inches.

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: That's a lot of snow. If you're in the suburb,

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: it's going to disrupt everything for a while. Also, unlike

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: other snowstorms, it's going to be freezing cold for the

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 3: next few days. It'll be like in the twenties, real

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: Field and the teens. So after the snow is done

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: on Monday, for the next few days it'll be so

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: cold that nothing will melt. You won't be able to

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: melt that snow, you won't be able to shovel it.

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: You know, if you're in the city, it doesn't really

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: bother us because it doesn't really even stick on the ground.

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: These sidewalks are so warm, people a million people walking

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: all over them. The subway underneath heats them. So the

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 3: city is fine, although you'll have some snow banks here

30
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: in there. But when you're in the suburbs, it's a

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: mess because the mall, the strip, mall, the supermarket, they'll shuffle,

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: they'll shovel the parking lot, but you'll lose half the

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: parking spaces where they pile up the snow and the

34
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 3: snow banks and all of that will stay for days

35
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: and days and days. Looks like in New York City,

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: at least they'll be school on Monday. Now may go remote,

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: and this is not fair to kids. It's very important

38
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: to have snow days where school is just canceled. You know,

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 3: when we were a kid, it was a snow day.

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 3: He had the day off, you'd watch game shows, you'd

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: goof off. But now if there is a snow day,

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 3: it'll just switch to remote learning. And imagine a lot

43
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: of suburban schools will do that. Not everybody's made the

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: decision yet, but we'll keep you up to date here

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: on the storm. This will be the first major test

46
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 3: of mom Donnie and his management skills. Although the emergency

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: team that does all this stuff is still there from

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: the Adams administration, so it's the same team. The director

49
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: of Emergency Management, he's a good guy. He'll be able

50
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: to handle this. He's resigned, but he gave two weeks notice,

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: so he's still there through this storm. Now, when he leaves,

52
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: the good news is his deputy takes over, who he says,

53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: is pretty good. She's been there for a long long time,

54
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: so it should be should be okay. Greenland. Speaking of snow,

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: it looks like the deal is done, and the deal

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 3: is basically, we lease Greenland and control it for decades

57
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: and decades and decades, sometimes Trump hinting it could be forever.

58
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: Now that's different from actually buying it and owning it.

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: But some people are pointing out this is actually better.

60
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: We don't want to buy it and own it and

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: make it part of the US. We want to just

62
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 3: lease it and have control. If we buy it make

63
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: it part of the US, then you're going to have

64
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: to give them two senators. You're going to have to

65
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: give them Congressmen. You're going to have to pay the

66
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: welfare for most of the people on Greenland. And it's

67
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: only about fifty seven thousand people, but they're on some

68
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: kind of welfare. Hey. Now, once again, the idea of

69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: buying Greenland or owning Greenland, or making part of the US,

70
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: that is not a Trump policy. That's been the official

71
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: policy of the United States for one hundred and fifty years.

72
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: One hundred and fifty years. Lots of residents have tried

73
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: to get Greenland. The last most serious attempt was Harry Truman,

74
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: who offered I think it was a billion dollars, which

75
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: back then nineteen forty nine or whatever was a staggering

76
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: amount of money. But it's always been US policy to

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: get Greenland. This is not a Trump policy. But it

78
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: was just fine for all these years trying to get Greenland.

79
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: But as soon as it was Trump, this is terrible.

80
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: All of a sudden everybody went crazy. Same thing with Ice,

81
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: the idea of ice going into cities and snatching up

82
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: illegals off the streets. That was Barack Obama. He did

83
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: it all the time, and you know he put in

84
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 3: charge of it a guy named Tom Holman. And you know,

85
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: before Obama left office, he gave Tom Holman the Distinguished

86
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: Service Award from the federal government for what he did.

87
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: So it goes on all the time. It's just only

88
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: bad when Trump does it. It was a great moment

89
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: on CNN with Ben Ferguson and the host I think

90
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: was Abbey Phillips is screaming at Ben Ferguson the idea

91
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: of ice going into what Ice is doing. He's never

92
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: been good. It's always been controversial. And Ben Ferguson said,

93
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: that's not true. It was considered great under Obama. In fact,

94
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: you guys at CNN did ride alongs. That's true. The

95
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 3: video has emerged back when Obama was doing the same

96
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: exact thing. CNN covered it and showed how brilliant this was,

97
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: how great this was. Look at it when Obama is

98
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: getting done. They did ride along videos. Look at how

99
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: they're rounding up. This is great. But as soon as

100
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: it's Trump. It's a disaster. It's awful. Hey, the crazy

101
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: protesters who broke into that church, stopped the service, stop

102
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: the ceremony. The two ringleaders have been arrested. Now they're

103
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: going to probably get Don Lemon at some point. It

104
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: went before some left wing judge who tossed it out

105
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 3: said you can't arrest Don Lemon for this. But that's

106
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: just some crazy left wing judge. They'll appeal the whole thing.

107
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 3: The Attorney General herself, Pam Bondi, has flown two Minnesota

108
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 3: to get this thing going.

109
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: Religious liberty is under siege in our country right now,

110
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: and we are not going anywhere until those people who

111
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: did those acts are held accountable.

112
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, the yelling about freedom of speech, freedom to protest,

113
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: First Amendment, it's all great, but that means you can

114
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: stand outside and yell. You cannot enter the church. It's

115
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: actually says in the law you cannot go into a

116
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: house of worship and do anything to intimidate or interfere

117
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: with a church service. It's illegal. It's a crime. So

118
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: they've arrested the two ringleaders, and here's Paul Murrow, the

119
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: security expert.

120
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 5: It is going to be very very little that they

121
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 5: can do in defense of this because it's on filming.

122
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 5: But for once, they didn't cover their faces. Now here

123
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 5: is the thing that's going to come out of this.

124
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 5: You have her under her arrest. Now you're going to

125
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 5: get the communications, and this is where it starts. Despiteer,

126
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 5: whereabout you start to see who's talking to who, who

127
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 5: showed up in regard including Don Lemon. How much did

128
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 5: they all know going in? That imports things like conspiracy charges,

129
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 5: which can be quite quite heavy.

130
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's where they're going to start. Now they've

131
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: got the two ring leaders, they'll start to get everybody

132
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 3: else under arrest.

133
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 5: Not only did that come out in the video and

134
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 5: that they said something like that in the church, but

135
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 5: then after the fact Lemon talks about exactly that, putting

136
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 5: a racial overtone in the whole thing, which potentially could

137
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 5: import a hate crime.

138
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: Nah, that's interesting. Lemon could be charged also with hate crime.

139
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 5: There is a job career protester, and it has developed

140
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 5: over the last let's say a dozen years or so

141
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: into a very lucrative industry, and you have people who

142
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 5: do this for a living, make a ton of money.

143
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 5: They weaponize people who don't know any better to use

144
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: the Leninist term, useful idiots. They're looking for any cause

145
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 5: in the world. They get them out of the campuses

146
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 5: pretty good.

147
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: Hey, the Clintons are in tremendous legal jeopardy. They have

148
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: defied a congressional subpoena. They have refused to testify, and

149
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: when you do that, you go to prison. That's what

150
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: happened to Steve Bannon, That's what happened to Peter Navarro.

151
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: They refused to testify when they got the subpoena in

152
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: front of Congress, they went to prison. So you could

153
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: actually send the Clintons to prison. They've actually done exactly

154
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: what Steve Bannon did, exactly what Navarro did. Here's crazy goofy,

155
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: Hakim Jeffries.

156
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: If COMA tries to bring this resolution, he wants to

157
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: lock Hillary Clinton up, consistent with what Donald Trump's been

158
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: saying now for ten years. Lock her up, as opposed

159
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: to actually focusing on the things that matter for the

160
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: American people, then we'll deal with it appropriately.

161
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: That's when you know they're in trouble instead of focusing

162
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: on what's important for the American people. When they put

163
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: Trump on trial in four places, did Hakim Jeffrey say, hey,

164
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 3: focus on what's important for the American people. No, Now,

165
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: the only argument protecting the Clintons is, well, Steve Bannon,

166
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: this is an ex president. It's different if it's an

167
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 3: ex president. Well not really. You put the arrested Donald

168
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: Trump in four different places five thousand times. So apparently

169
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: according to the Merrick Garland Joe Biden standard, it's not

170
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: different when it's the next president. Hey, you know who died.

171
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: I can't believe it. Uncle Floyd. You remember Uncle Floyd.

172
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: Now there'd be plenty of people don't know what I'm

173
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: talking about, but plenty of people who do. Uncle Floyd

174
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: wasn't that old. He was seventy four. Floyd Vivino course

175
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: hosted that children's TV show for years. He also was

176
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 3: a great comedian and a great musician pianist. Uncle Floyd

177
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: gone at the age of seventy four. This is back

178
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: in the way, way way in the past, like a

179
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: way back into the eighties when he has on Uah Chef.

180
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 3: You remember that there was regular TV and there was

181
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: UA Chef and on his case. I think it was

182
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: Channel sixty eight out of New Jersey. You know, kids

183
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: today you wouldn't believe it. You had a TV that

184
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: had an antenna and there was channel two, four, five,

185
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 3: nine to eleven, and then there was UHF. You could

186
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: switch over this UHF where there was like a channel

187
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 3: fifty in the channels. This sounds like the Flintstones. This

188
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: sounds so primitive. It sounds like cavemen who knew back

189
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: then that within a few years there'd be cable and

190
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: two hundred channels, and then years after that there'd be

191
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 3: cable and six hundred channels. And I remember we had

192
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 3: cable with six hundred channels and there was still nothing

193
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: to watch. You could have eight hundred channels, You're still

194
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: watching Law and Order reruns and that's it. But then

195
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: streaming begins and everybody forgets about regular TV. Everything is

196
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: streaming now. You know, it used to be a big

197
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: deal network TV. It means absolutely nothing anymore. You know,

198
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: you used to wait and see if your favorite show

199
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 3: got picked up for the next year. They just announced

200
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 3: all the renewals for next year. Tracker, that's like the

201
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,479
Speaker 3: biggest show in network TV. Tracker got the renewed, Mattlock

202
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: got renewed. There's like a new Mattlock. It's not Andy Griffith.

203
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 3: I think it's a woman this time. Boston Blue got renewed,

204
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: but only for eight episodes. That's not a good saying.

205
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: All the NCIS has got renewed. Fire Country got renewed.

206
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: That's everywhere now, this Fire Country, I don't even know

207
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 3: what the hell it is. Sydney Survivor. I don't even

208
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: know most of these shows. Georgie and Mandy's first marriage.

209
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: Anybody know what that is? I don't know the Amazing Race,

210
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: I know what that is. Elizabeth got Elsbeth got the renewed. Okay,

211
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: so but again it doesn't mean anything. Nobody watches network

212
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: TV anymore. It's all streaming. Hey, Donald Trump has announced

213
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 3: a big lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase. JP Morgan Chase

214
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: being sued by Trump now for five billion dollars. And

215
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: he's got a great case. When he was the ex

216
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: president a few years ago, JP Morgan Chase de banked him.

217
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 3: In other words, they refused to allow him to have

218
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 3: a bank account. He had many bank accounts there, not personally,

219
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: but for his business. You talk about hundreds and hundreds

220
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: and hundreds of millions of dollars, and they threw them

221
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 3: out of the bank. Now, if you have a remember

222
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 3: Trump has a major, major corporation that's a global empire

223
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: doing business all over the world. That's impossible to run

224
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: a business without bank accounts. In fact, when you're a business,

225
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: you have many, many bank accounts. So to throw them

226
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: out to de bank them, and then other banks followed,

227
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: Bank of America and other banks followed. So he couldn't

228
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 3: believe it when it happened. How could you be blacklisted

229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: from banks? You can't, how could you stay in business?

230
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 3: So it was a horrible, frightening thing to do to

231
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: a business. It wasn't just Trump. They did it to

232
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: a lot of conservatives. And Trump is now suing them

233
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: for five billion dollars. He most likely will get a

234
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: massive settlement. They'll probably settle with him for a fortune,

235
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 3: maybe even a billion dollars. Now, JP Morgan Chase is

236
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: a great company run by Jamie Diamond, best CEO in America.

237
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: Why would they do such a thing. They wouldn't because

238
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: it hurts the bank. Why would they do it? The

239
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: Biden administration forced them to. The Biden administration threatened the

240
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 3: banks with everything in the world. They're totally regulated and

241
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 3: dependent on government. The Biden administration threatened them and forced

242
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 3: them to do it. This is the other reason for

243
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: the lawsuit to get this to come out in court. Now,

244
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: Democrats may go to JP Morgan Chase and make them

245
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 3: settle this because they don't want Democrats don't want this

246
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: coming out in court that they played this kind of game,

247
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 3: the Shenanigans. So we'll see what happens. No matter how

248
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 3: it turns out, Donald Trump will be getting a hell

249
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: of a payday from this. Hey, well, take some calls

250
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: in a minute. Eight hundred three to two to one

251

Speaker 3: zero seven ten is the number? Eight hundred three to

252
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 3: two one zero seven to ten.

253
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 6: Give war.

254
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 7: A Brie said on the iHeart Radio app to hear

255
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 7: marximone and all the wat in an instead.

256
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 6: Now back to the Mark Simo show on wo R.

257
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: Well, let's take some calls. Us go to uh Frank

258
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,120

260
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 6: Mark?

261
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 8: I was a huge Uncle Floyd fan back in the seventies.

262
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 8: When I was twenty six years old. He announced my

263
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 8: birthday and I wanted Uncle Milton's ant arm and all

264
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 8: the ants were dead when I got this. But his

265
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 8: show was kind of like a stupy stale show. You know,

266
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 8: it was kind of people will goof it up in

267
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 8: the back line, you can hit him talking, and he

268
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 8: just one goofy thing after another. He did characters. But yeah,

269
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 8: you're right.

270
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: It was a kind of a very local, very minor

271
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: league copy of the Soupy Sales show. That's what it was.

272
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 8: Oh, absolutely, and Mark, I love Vincent?

Speaker 8: and don't forget about it.

282
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: One hundred and twenty. Well, so what do you do

283
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 3: out there in the summer on its one hundred and twenty?

284
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 8: Well, you know what they say, in a winter time

285
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 8: back east, you're inside out here in the summertime, you're inside.

286
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: All right, Well, thanks for calling, yeah, but you know here,

287
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: we're inside a couple of days when it snows out there,

288
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: it's one hundred and twenty for a couple of months.

289
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: Let's go to let's go to Mike and Bayonne, Mike,

290
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: how you doing?

291
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 8: Hey, what's going on? Western Peace?

292
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 6: Then?

293
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 8: Uncle Floyd was fantastic. I think every New Jersey and

294
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 8: should fly their flags at half masks, and anyone who

295
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 8: doesn't know Uncle Floyd should go on YouTube and check

296
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 8: them out. Who was my hero when I was a teenager?

297
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: Well, you see that's interesting. Uncle Floyd died. I announced

298
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: it before. I'm thinking to myself too, a lot of

299
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 3: well people know who Uncle Floyd. Uncle Floyd touched a

300
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: lot of lives. I'm trying to think if I I

301
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: met him a few times. Actually, remember I used to

302
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: do the Saturday night show, The Oldie Show. On that

303
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: a couple of times he was a guest. I'm trying

304
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: to remember. I think I was on the Uncle Floyd

305
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: Show once somewhere in the eighties, and I remember doing

306
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: a some benefit somewhere with him where I think I

307
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: was the MC and he was on the show. He's

308
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,520

00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 10: I want to talk about our new governor. What they did,

330
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 10: those two clowns and uh Trenton. They doubled our energy

331
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 10: costs And now she's going to put a cap on

332
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 10: it to be the hero.

333
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's gonna be a mess, but you guys are

334
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: used to it in New Jersey. You keep collecting these

335
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: crazy idiots.

336
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, and uh, when is uh Nick Shirley going to

337
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,440

338
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the other problem. You know, New Jersey is

339
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 3: just wasting fraud and bloat. That's why your texes is

340
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 3: so hi. If you got Nick, Shirley and Elon must

341
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 3: going to bring there to clean it up, doge the

342
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 3: whole thing, your taxes would be about one third of

343
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 3: what they are now. And if you didn't know who

344
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 3: this woman was, if I just played this clip here,

345
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: if I didn't tell you who this was, would you

346
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 3: think this is a governor of a state.

347
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 11: I would encourage everyone to, you know what, have a

348
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 11: great family day at home this weekend, play some born games.

349
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 11: Don't go out in this.

350
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you see, if you're the mayor or the governor,

351
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 3: you're supposed to put on that jacket, you know, that snowjacket,

352
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: that official jacket, and sound very serious and lay out everything.

353
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 3: There'll be over two thousand salt spreaders. We'll be doing this,

354
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 3: we'll be doing that. You're supposed to sound very official, authoritative,

355
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 3: like you've got everything planned. You're not supposed to just

356
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 3: be goofy.

357
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 11: And I would encourage everyone to, you know what, have

358
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 11: a great family day at home this weekend. Play some

359
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 11: born games.

360
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 3: Don't go out. We play board games anymore? You do.

361
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: I can't imagine when you got eight million TV channels,

362
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 3: when you got eight thousand streaming services, when you got

363
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: your phone, your laptop. Who's going to play a board game?

364
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 3: But I guess people do. Hey, Sunday, you got two

365
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 3: great football games that will help. Let's go to Mario

366
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: in New Jersey. Mario, how you doing?

367
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 9: Oh, good morning, Mark, Thanks for taking my call. Listen,

368
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 9: I'm sorry about Uncle Floyd's passing.

369
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 6: Boy.

370
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: This Uncle Floyd turns out to be the biggest story

371
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 3: of the day.

372
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 9: It is, and I got to my memories of him.

373
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 9: Or when I back in the seventies, I was in

374
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 9: the army and Fort Dix, and before we went out

375
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 9: on maneuvers or whatever, we'd sit in the rec room

376
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 9: and everybody, all these soldiers and all their uniforms, we'd

377
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 9: all be watching Uncle Floyd.

378
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 3: Well, I can't think of anything more inspiring. Are you

379
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: supposed to be watching like Paton the movie or something?

380
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 3: But you're watching Uncle Floyd. That's a boy. But a

381
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 3: lot of people remember this guy. Let's go to Bill

382
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: in Lafayette, New Jersey. Bill, how you doing okay?

383
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 8: Mark? I graduated high school with Looney Skip Rowl, who

384
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 8: was the sidekick on the Uncle Floyd's show, and he

385
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 8: would invite me on the show just to watch once

386
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 8: in a while. So I used to ball at Eagle

387
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 8: Rock and I walked over to the recording studio and

388
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 8: I talked to Skiff and a couple other people, and

389
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 8: they had this guest waiting in the hallway. So I

390
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 8: walked down and I thought it was Tiny Tim, but

391
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 8: I was mistaken. But they introduced him on the show

392
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 8: later on and it was Howard Stern. I'm going, oh, yeah,

393
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 8: who the hell is this guy?

394
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 3: I forgot about that. Howard Stern was on the Uncle

395
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 3: Floyd show. Yeah, absolutely, back in the eighties. So Uncle Floyd,

396
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: it was Looney Skip Rooney, and then who else was

397
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 3: on the show. I'm trying to remember.

398
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 8: Mister Silly, Yeah, was one of my favorites, the fat

399
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 8: guy that always eat ate toast at the diner, and

400
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 8: a couple other guys. It's hard to remember, but it

401
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 8: was a great show. It was silly, it was goofy,

402
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 8: it was funny, it was entertaining, and Looney Skip Rooney

403
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 8: was a goof I actually tied with him as the

404
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 8: funniest guy in the high school. But he beat me

405
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 8: out by a couple of points.

406
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 3: Doesn't sound like the bar was too high in this

407
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: high school for that time. All right, Well, thanks for calling.

408
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 3: Great call. Yeah, so now a lot of people remember

409
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: Uncle Floyd. He passed away at the age of seventy four. Hey,

410
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 3: when we come back, Steve Cuzo the great New York

411
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 3: post Commas. He covers real estate, restaurants, what's going on

412
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: in New York, what's the state of the city, tourists,

413
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: office space, restaurants. We'll get to all of that coming

414
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 3: up next on seven to ten WR.

415
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 7: Mark Simone on sevent tenor.

416
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 3: Well, we're looking for Steve Cuzo. We'll find him. We'll

417
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: track him down. The snow is coming. It's going to

418
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 3: begin after midnight on Saturday, could be as early as

419
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: one am, more likely around three or four am on

420
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: Saturday night. So we'll start when you wake up Sunday.

421
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: It'll be snowing. It'll continue all day long, all day,

422
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 3: just won't stop, and it'll go overnight Sunday night into Monday.

423
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: Might stop Monday morning, but then come back just a

424
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 3: little Monday afternoon, and then by the time it's all over.

425
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: Expect six to eight inches. There's various models. One model

426
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 3: shows four inches, one shows twelve, but most of them

427
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 3: showing six to eight inches, so it'll be a mess. Hey,

428
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 3: Steve Cuzo is the great columnist New York Post. Nobody

429
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 3: better on real estate, restaurants and what's going on in

430
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: New York. Steve Cuzo, how you doing?

431
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning.

432
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 7: I can't wait for this blizzard because I have a

433
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 7: secret source, Mark that tells me it's going to be

434
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 7: no inches.

435
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know who that's source is.

436
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 6: It's another one of these overhyped phenomenal.

437
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know. It looks like from our

438
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 3: best weather people, it's locked in at this point.

439
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 6: It's not gonna I know, I know, I know. Here

440
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 6: we go.

441
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 3: Hey, Hey, Yeah, from what I can see from your

442
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 3: columns you're reporting and everything else I can see in here,

443
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 3: Manhattan real estate is booming. Is that really the.

444
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's yeah, it's not. It's the whole city, but

445
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 7: especially Manhattan's a phenomenon. You know, last night, I don't

446
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 7: know if you were there, Mark, but it was a

447
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 7: Real Estate Board of New York's annual gala event biggest

448
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 7: party in real estate, and at the it was at

449
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 7: the Waldorf Astoria, and which was a great thing because

450
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 7: they for one year they didn't do it because of COVID.

451
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 7: Then three years was at this event space on the

452
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 7: far West Side that nobody wanted to go to. And

453
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 7: so now it's back in full force at the Waldorf

454
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 7: for the first time. And you know, the Waldorf is

455
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 7: the new Waldorf is quite spectacular, and it was a party.

456
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 7: It was a celebration of all these real estate both

457
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 7: commercial and residential, having a blast, and they were well

458
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 7: dressed and it really felt like a celebration that said,

459
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 7: you know, when I worried about Trump, when I worried

460
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 7: about Mamdanie, when I worried about you know whatever, Greenland.

461
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 6: We had a great year and they did.

462
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 7: You know, there were a record number of excuse me,

463
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 7: commercial market which I cover leasing was over the moon

464
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 7: building sales which had really lacked behind the leasing improvement

465
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 7: over the since the end of the pandemic, and last

466
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 7: year it was like eleven billion dollars of investment sales,

467
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 7: which means that's the term for sales of buildings and

468
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 7: selling office buildings, first time in five years there was

469
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 7: a sale for over a billion dollars five ninety Park

470
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 7: Avenue on Madison Avenue.

471
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 6: So real estate is doing phenomenally well.

472
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 7: Only thing I don't believe this is doing as well

473
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 7: as they say is retail. You know, I get tired

474
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 7: of reading all these wonderful surveys by all the brokerages,

475
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 7: by the Business Improvement districts, by the Real Estate Board

476
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 7: of New York itself about how you know, record retail

477
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 7: leasing this that, And I walk around and I see

478
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 7: gazillions of empty stores. But you know, it's a matter

479
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 7: of there's a lot of nuance.

480
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: But that real estate real estate stuff. That's not a

481
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: factor of mandani or leadership. That's just retail dying.

482
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 6: No, no, no, Also, residential sales.

483
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 7: This is not my field of expertise, as you know,

484
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 7: but from everything I'm told and everything I read in

485
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 7: the Post and elsewhere, a great year for the residential market.

486
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 7: Super high sales of luxury condos and co ops. Co

487
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 7: Ops mounted a real rally after a couple of years

488
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 7: of playing second fiddle to condos. A lot of people

489
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 7: don't want co ops anymore, but they bounce back to

490
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 7: So yeah, it's a hell of a good sign for

491
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 7: the city as a whole, no matter what happens on

492
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 7: the social front. You know, all the problems with the schools,

493
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 7: which Mondani is.

494
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 6: Only likely to make worse. So yeah, it was it

495
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 6: was a banner year.

496
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 3: One of those jentas is yelling everybody's leaving New York.

497
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: It's not true. It's not true, of course not.

498
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 6: It's never been true. And in the past.

499
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 7: I remember when when Trump got elected people everybody was

500
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 7: leaving the country, remember that one.

501
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then when he got re elected there was

502
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 6: there was nobody left to leap because everybody had already left.

503
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 7: So yeah, these things. Look, you know, we've got to

504
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 7: sell papers. Broadcast media has to attract the viewers.

505
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 6: Uh.

506
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 7: Social media just has to make a lot of noise

507
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 7: whenever they can. So uh yeah, I don't have any

508
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 7: good feelings whatsoever about Montani. And yet I think that

509
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 7: commercial real estate especially.

510
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 6: Is oblivious to this.

511
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 7: The only thing that could be harmful is if thevenor

512
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 7: you know, caves in and gives in too. Mumdanni's pipe

513
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 7: dream of raising taxes on corporations and everything. She wouldn't

514
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 7: do that this year because she's up for reelection. But

515
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 7: next year, the following year could be a problem. But

516
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 7: commercial real estate is so strong. It's the driver of

517
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 7: the New York economy, not just the city but the state,

518
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 7: and it's a power behind the entire national economy. Real

519
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 7: Estate taxes from real estate contribute more to the city

520
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 7: treasury than any other than anything else, more than Wall Street,

521
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 7: for example.

522
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 6: Most people don't know that, but it's a fact.

523
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 3: So when you see stores closed, wait where you read

524
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 3: about the Sacks going bankrupt? This the only reason for

525
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 3: that is online shopping has nothing to do with New

526
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 3: York right.

527
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 6: Well, it has. It's online shopping is a factor.

528
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 7: But you notice that Bloomingdale's is doing fine, Macy's is

529
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 7: doing fine, Artstream is having no problem. In the case

530
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 7: of Sacks Global, the parent company which includes Sacks and

531
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 7: Nieman Marcus, which they stupidly bought about a year and

532
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 7: a half ago, and Burgdorf Goodman, the only Burgdorf Goodman

533
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 7: in the world is right here in New York on

534
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 7: Fifth Avenue, that was a lot of mismanagement and a

535
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 7: lot of needless over expansion. And you know, retail is

536
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 7: not my forte. But I do know I'm very skeptical

537
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 7: of all large sized mergers and acquisitions, because inevitably any

538
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 7: merger or acquisition UH saddles the company with enormous debt,

539
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 7: and they basically served to. I mean, they can have

540
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 7: their you know, good consequences as well. But I believe

541
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 7: that I remember aol Time Warner once upon a time.

542
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 7: All they do is saddle the company with debt and

543
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 7: they and they enrich all the excuse me, all the

544
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 7: inside players, corporate ex executives, investment bankers, lawyers, accountants, consultants

545
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 7: at the expense of everybody else.

546
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 6: Anyway, in the case of Sacks, the stores aren't going

547
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 6: to close.

548
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 7: I mean they're going to close a few stores outside

549
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 7: of New York, yes, but it looks like they're on

550
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 7: their way to restructuring. They're getting a cash or liquidity infusion,

551
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 7: and presumably life and business will go on here as

552
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 7: it did in the past, at least from the consumer's

553
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 7: point of view. If you go to Sacks right now,

554
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 7: they're stretching the merchandise. You can see it on the shelves,

555
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 7: but because they weren't paying their vendors.

556
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 6: But I think that's going to change.

557
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: Hey, Steve Kisser, there's a lot of skyscrapers going up.

558
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 3: I mean one hundred stories, seventy story, sixty stories, They're

559
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 3: going up all over the place, fifty seventh Street, Park Avenue, Madison.

560
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: So can we handle all that extra traffic here?

561
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 6: You mean do you mean crowding? Mark? What do ye?

562
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: People? Cars?

563
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 7: New York has always been overcrowded. I say, the more overcrowding,

564
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 7: the better. It's it means life, it means people spending money. Uh,

565
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 7: it's what makes the city exciting, why people want to

566
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 7: come here, where they want to be here. So over

567
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 7: the Christmas holidays, you know, my office is two blocks

568
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 7: away from the Rockefeller Center tree, and I hated every

569
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 7: minute of it, of the six weeks between roughly Thanksgiving

570
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 7: and you know, right after New Year's and.

571
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 6: Because you couldn't move on the streets.

572
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 7: I couldn't literally couldn't get into the subway right next

573
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 7: door to my building because I had to fight my

574
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 7: way through crowds.

575
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 6: And yet that's a selfish concern.

576
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 7: The bigger picture is that it's it's life, it's energy,

577
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 7: and it's commitment, and it's well for New York City.

578
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 6: So I'm I'm all for that.

579
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got a lot of hot new restaurants that

580
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: are Have we ever had this many jam peck restaurants

581
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 3: in New York?

582
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 6: I don't know.

583
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 7: It depends the good restaurants, the import restaurants, the ones

584
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 7: that are backed by big money.

585
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 6: I think had never done better. There's a squeeze in

586
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 6: the middle, and at the lower end.

587
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 7: You know, everybody's oh, the rent is too high. All

588
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 7: that rent has always been too high. But every basically

589
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 7: what it comes down to is every place that I go,

590
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 7: which is by no.

591
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 6: Means you know, the the the only the elite restaurants,

592
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 6: as you might think, I go to all kinds of restaurants.

593
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 6: It's hard to get the table anywhere. And this is January.

594
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 6: January is traditionally the worst month for restaurants in New York.

595
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 7: I mean, in the past, you could have gotten seats

596
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 7: at when Noble is in its original location, in the

597
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 7: hottest restaurant in like the country. You could easily get

598
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 7: tables at Noble the week of from the month of January.

599
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 6: That's not true anymore.

600
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 7: And I've been to excuse me, niuid restaurants like Lusardies

601
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 7: on First Second Avenue the other night, and they're all packed.

602
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 6: And this is it was about twelve degrees out. Yeah,

603
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 6: so what does that say.

604
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: Well, that's good. New York is booming. That's good to hear.

605
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: You should read Steve Cuzo's columns. All his columns are

606
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 3: up on the New York Post website. You can read

607
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 3: them all there, and he writes great stuff. Steve Cuso,

611
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: these people about everybody leaving. It's busier than ever in
