1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Mister New York Mark Simone. 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 2: Wr Well, we all a lot to get to this hour. 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 2: It was a pretty bad weekend weatherwise. I mean, it 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 2: was probably the worst weekend of the winter, even worse 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 2: than those big snowfall weekends that I mean. It was 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 2: so cold. You just Saturday, just people just hibernated all 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 2: day Friday night, Saturday Saturday. Although I talked to people 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 2: that went out, there were people out. There were people 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 2: in restaurants and comedy clubs, in Broadway theaters and it 10 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: wasn't easy though. You know, it was actually colder on 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 2: Saturday in New York. It was colder than in Antarctica. 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: That's absolutely true. It was colder here than it was 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: there for the probably the first time ever. It was 14 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: like fifteen below here and something like five degrees Antarctica. 15 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: So super Bowl last night, a lot of people not 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: coming to work today. They call it miswork Monday, twenty 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: six billion people either take the day off or call 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: in sick because of the super Bowl. There's been talk 19 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 2: of making it an actual holiday, a three day weekend, 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 2: making it the Monday a holiday. Here's the problem, though, 21 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 2: if you did it, your super Bowl is you know, 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: right now in February. If you made this a holiday, 23 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: this upcoming weekend, you got another holiday, you got President's Day. 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 2: Don't forget this weekend. You got a three day weekend, 25 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: so you don't want to do two of those in 26 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: a row. The simple answer would be, moved the Super 27 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: Bowl to Saturday. It's just traditional on Sunday, but move 28 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: it to Saturday night. That's really the solution to that. 29 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: Restaurants would hate it. A lot of restaurants lose a 30 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: lot of money because people stay home super Bowl parties, 31 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: that sort of stuff, or if they go out, it's 32 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: usually to a sports place, not a regular restaurant. But 33 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: that's I mean, well, no, it's better on Sunday. It's 34 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: got to be Super Bowl Sunday. Football's on Sunday. Super 35 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: Bowl should be on Sunday. So Bad Bunny was the 36 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: halftime performer. Now at the so many people did not 37 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: want Bad Bunny, or they thought he might get political, 38 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: or they were, for one reason or another offended by 39 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: his choice of Bad Bunny that the alternative was Kid Rock. 40 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: You could watch him online. He did the alternative half 41 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: point show, Turning Point USA ran it with Kid Rock. 42 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 2: Many people turned off the super Bowl with Bad Bunny 43 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: to go over and watch Kid Rock. Well, it turns 44 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: out it was about six million. Numbers still coming in 45 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 2: might hit seven million, but six million. You got to 46 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: figure out how many people watch the Super Bowl, Big 47 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: Super Bowl sixty million. Maybe ten percent of the audience 48 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: turned it off and went over to watch Kid Rock. 49 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: It was otherwise a dull game, a mismatch Seattle. I 50 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 2: can't stand Seattle, but the best defense in football. I 51 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 2: like the Patriots, but this team is too new. They 52 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: weren't ready for the Super Bowl. It was a low, 53 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 2: sluggish game, not a lot of scoring. Thank god it 54 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: finally ended. 55 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: That will do it. 56 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: Seattle rains above them all in the NFL. The Seahawks 57 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 2: super Bowl chickens for the second time. Here you go. 58 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 2: Now here's the other thing, Seattle Seahawks. They may not 59 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 2: exist next year. The Seahawks may have to move. You know, Seattle, Washington. 60 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 2: It's a crazy left wing state with a woke government. 61 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: And they want to impose a tax on the football player, 62 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: so big tax. They want to tax them like crazy, 63 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: not just the team and the Seattle players, but any 64 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: visiting team. So if a team comes to play in Seattle, 65 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: which of course, will happen all the time. The players 66 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: will get taxed. They're going to hit them with this big, 67 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: like ten percent tax. Now, remember these guys are getting 68 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars, so it's going to be 69 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: a pretty big tax. If they go through with this 70 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: stupid tax, I would imagine the Seahawks will have to 71 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: move to another city. It's ridiculous. Normally, in the past, 72 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: if you want to get a football team, you give 73 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: them a tax break because they bring in a ton 74 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: of business revenue, all sorts of glory and help your city. 75 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: This crazy left wing today's Democrats, and the old Democrats 76 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 2: knew better. But today's crazy Democrats think billionaires. Let's just 77 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: tax them businesses. Let's tax them, and they just move, 78 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: they leave, they flee. Your economy suffers, everything suffers, you 79 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: lose jobs, you'll lose everything. Then you get states like 80 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: Florida and Texas. If you're in Texas, they'll give you 81 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: nothing but tax breaks if you're a business. So every 82 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: major business in the world moves to Texas and the 83 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 2: economy is absolutely booming. Same thing with Florida. And this 84 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: is tradition, this is the way they used to do everything. 85 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: You know, these rundown Democrat cities, they're in shambles. If 86 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: you just call every business in the world say if 87 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: you open up here, well we'll give you, We'll make 88 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: your tax free for ten years, every business in the 89 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: world would rush to open there. Now, of course, you 90 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 2: got mom Donnie here, who may may do this to 91 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: New York. He's talking about imposing new taxes on businesses. Hey, 92 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: by the way, remember when Donald Trump tried to putting 93 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: tariffs on and the left wing went crazy, How tariffs 94 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: is going to ruin everything? Well, these are tariffs. Nobody 95 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: puts on more tariffs than the Democrats. They call it 96 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 2: corporate tax, but it's tariffs. And if you got heavy, 97 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: we have the highest corporate tax in the world right now. 98 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: If you say I'm gonna increase it ten percent, well 99 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 2: that's a tariff. That's a ten percent tariff. Here's Mom Donnie. 100 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 4: So the way that this tax works is it applies 101 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 4: to any business doing business here. They could be located 102 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 4: in Miami, but if they're doing business in New York, 103 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 4: it applies to them. And the reason I believe everyone 104 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 4: will keep doing business here is our economy is so 105 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 4: large that if it was a country, it would rival 106 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 4: the top countries in the world. 107 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: It don't count on it. You see that. Look at 108 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: the lodgy of this big, big tax. If you come 109 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: to New York and opening business. Now, if you're somewhere 110 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: else and you sell anything here, you're gonna get this big, 111 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 2: big tech. I mean, it's absolutely insane, Mom Donnie. It 112 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 2: turns out when it comes to the snow removal, it's 113 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 2: getting better. That might be the weather more than anything, 114 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: but it's a and he has picked up the garbage. 115 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: It was a little late, but most of the garbage 116 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 2: has gotten picked up. But you still got those snow banks. 117 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 2: But what happened for two weeks that all that snow 118 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: was piled up and it was ridiculous. Well, it turns out, 119 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 2: Mam Donnie failed to recruit enough emergency snow shovelers. This 120 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 2: is what you do in a storm like this. You 121 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 2: got a certain amount of shovelers, but when you're gonna 122 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: get a blizzard like that, you need more. So as 123 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: a Tuesday, all he had were nineteen or eighteen hundred, 124 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 2: eighteen hundred shovelers. In comparison in previous administration when they 125 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: had this what they do is they go out and 126 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: they hire shovelers. They put out ads, they blitze the 127 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: community with ads. In the past, for instance, two thousand 128 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: and fifth, we had sixty five hundred shovelers. Yeah, in fact, 129 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: the remember the blizzard back then, they had a big 130 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: blizzard thirty three inches. They had thirty five hundred shovelers 131 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: at one time, working sixty five hundred total. So we 132 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: only got eighteen hundred right now. Again, you got to 133 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: go out and you got massive advertising to hire these shovelers, 134 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 2: these laborers. According to the report's mom, Donnie, made a 135 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: half hearted outreach effort too late, didn't do enough and 136 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: didn't get enough shovelers. And that was the main problem 137 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: with all of that. So, hey, the Washington Post, this 138 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 2: is a fascinating story. They're laying off hundreds and hundreds 139 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: and hundreds of people. They laid off about a couple 140 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 2: hundred before, now three hundred this past week. The paper 141 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,239 Speaker 2: is losing a fortune. It's own by Jeff Bezos. Of course, 142 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: everybody is up in arms yelling and screaming about these layoffs. 143 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: But but it was the staff of the Washington Post, 144 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: the people running it that caused the layoffs. They went 145 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: crazy left wing woke, Trump bashing like crazy. Trump derangement 146 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: syndrome was way out. It was so far to the left. 147 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: There is an audience for that. But you're going to 148 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: lose half the normal people. Half of America will stop reading. 149 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: So they basically got rid of half their readers. And 150 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: then when you get rid of half your readers, you 151 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: get rid of half your revenue, half your income from 152 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: the subscriptions and all that, and you got to start 153 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 2: laying off people. So they caused the layoffs. They're yelling 154 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: and screaming about it. Now, this paper is such a 155 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 2: mess that it loses one hundred million a year. Do 156 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: you know that it loses two million dollars a week. 157 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: At the end of every week, they're two million dollars 158 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 2: in debt. Jeff Bezos owns it. So at the end 159 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: of every week, Jeff Bezos has to write a check 160 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 2: for two million dollars just to keep this thing going. 161 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 2: I know he's a zillionaire, he's worth hundreds of billions, 162 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: but every week, at the end of the week he's 163 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: got to write a check for two million dollars just 164 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: to keep it going. How many years do you think 165 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 2: he's going to keep that up. He's a business guy, 166 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: he's a logical business guy. At some point he's going 167 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 2: to wonder why he used to keep writing a check 168 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: for two million every week to get it to keep 169 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: it going. So that's why all the layoffs. Now you 170 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: heard that the big CEO of the paper stepped down 171 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: over the weekend. Apparently he was told to get out. 172 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: He was in the middle of these layoffs. Last week, 173 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: they laid off three hundred people. In the middle of that, 174 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: the CEO was out at the Super Bowl, walking around 175 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 2: the red carpet, going to all the parties. Bezos said, 176 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: that's the final straw. He just can't take this guy. 177 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: He said, that's the last straw with this guy. And 178 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 2: he was basically told to get the hell out. He 179 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: lost patience with him. Middle of all these layoffs. He's 180 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: out there at the super Bowl. Absolutely ridiculous. The CEO 181 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 2: claims he decided to quit and you know, put out 182 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: one of those I want to spend more time with 183 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: my family. And if you've seen his family, nobody wants 184 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 2: to spend more time with them. So that's it. Now. 185 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: I don't know what what Bezos will do with this 186 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 2: Washington Post, it's pretty much hopeless. He could try to 187 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 2: sell it, but nobody wants. These people don't read newspapers anymore. 188 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 2: Twenty two million people read newspapers in America now twenty 189 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 2: two million. One hundred and fifty nine million listen to 190 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: the radio sixty three million listen to AM radio. Newspapers 191 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 2: twenty two million, So it's not much. I don't know 192 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 2: how you could really sell it. The only possible buyers 193 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 2: there is some hint that Bloomberg might want to buy it. 194 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 2: In fact, a couple of years ago Bloomberg was there 195 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: kicking the tires on it, So Bloomberg a possible buyer. 196 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: It's not a good business, there's no logical reason to 197 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: buy it, but you know, Bloomberg is always trying to 198 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: create some sort of of a media presence, more of 199 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: a Washington presence, so that's a possibility. The other thing 200 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: is the Wall Street Journal might buy it. The Wall 201 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 2: Street Journal just looking to expand there, or Washington DC coverage, 202 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: they might buy it. Murdoch is about the only guy 203 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: who's still really interested in newspapers, so that's a slight, 204 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: slight possibility. Nancy Guthrie it's day nine. Now. You know, 205 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: she needs all kinds of medicine, heart medicine, blood pressure medicine. 206 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 2: She's got cardiac problems. I've asked doctors if they kidnap her, 207 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: she has no medicine. If you're on all these medicines, 208 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: how long could you go. It's nine days without her medicine. Well, 209 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 2: they say it it's not good, but you could. You 210 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: could last a couple of weeks without the medicine. You know, 211 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: they found a lot of blood, trail of blood. One 212 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 2: of the things she was probably taking for the heart 213 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 2: problems was a blood thinner, so that's why all the blood. 214 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: It might not have been that much of an injury, 215 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 2: but the slightest little cut you can bleed a lot 216 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: when you on those blood thinners. So we'll we'll see. 217 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: Today at five o'clock is a deadline, big deadline. Five 218 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: o'clock today supposed to deliver the six million dollar ransom 219 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 2: and bitcoin. You know, the old days, you had to 220 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: take the money, put it in a suitcase, They give 221 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: you a location you drop it off, which meant the 222 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: kidnappers had to come pick up the money physically, come 223 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 2: pick it up somewhere. So that was a way to 224 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: catch them with the bitcoin. I don't know how you 225 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 2: catch them. I don't know how you ever traced them. 226 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 2: They could already be long gone out of the country. 227 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 2: But we'll see what happens later today. So mayor, mom, Donnie, 228 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: and you're saying, why doesn't he do something, Why doesn't 229 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: he act? Why doesn't he Well, he's busy with this 230 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: is what he was busy with this weekend. 231 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,119 Speaker 5: The story of the Hidra reminds us the prophet Muhammad, 232 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 5: So the ala Ali who was seldom was a stranger too, 233 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 5: who fled Mecca and was welcomed in Medina. Sura Nahal 234 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 5: sixteen forty two tells us as for those who immigrated 235 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 5: in the cause of a law after being persecuted, we 236 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 5: will surely bless them with a good home in this world. 237 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 5: Or as the Prophet Muhammed Salila Ale he was seldom said, 238 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 5: Islam began as something strange and will go back to 239 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 5: being strange. So glad tidings to the strangers. 240 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: What the hell are you talking about? Just pick up 241 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 2: the snow.

How the hell did you elect this guy? 245 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: What on earth were you thinking? What is wrong with you? 246 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 2: The real problem was Andrew Cuomo got in a race, 247 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: and everybody hates this guy. Nobody hates Andrew Cuomo more 248 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 2: than the Democrats. So he got in the primary. It 249 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: was it was how it was how Mom Donnie won. 250 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: They just it was a lot of voting against Cuomo 251 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: and they say, you know here, when you win the 252 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 2: Democratic primary, you win the election. Hey, by the way, 253 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 2: Cuomo is now doing a radio show. You should listen 254 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: to this. This guy is so far to the left. 255 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: Cuomo is so left wing. If you're thinking, yeah, Mam 256 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: Donnie is terrible, I wish we had Cuomo listen to 257 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 2: his radio show. Sometimes he is to the left of 258 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 2: Mom Donnie on most issues. This week talking about how 259 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: awful Ice is.

I mean, 261 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: you can use that language, but that's basically what he 262 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: was saying. Hey, we'll take some calls next Scott Shannon 263 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 2: in a few minutes.

I wanted to comment on Seattle's 271 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 6: idea of caxing the football players from other cities and 272 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 6: states when they play there. We had I'm an actor, 273 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 6: retired actor. Cities and states all over the country have 274 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 6: been doing this to us when we're on tour for decades. 275 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 6: We'd grow into some city and they decide, oh, we're 276 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 6: going to tax you while you're here for the portion 277 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 6: of the money that you made while you're here. So 278 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 6: we're being taxed without representation and kind of double taxed 279 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 6: because we're still paying tax to the state where we live. 280 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous. And what were you in that 281 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: we might have seen? 282 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 6: I was in the Broadway Company of forty second Street 283 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 6: for three and a half years, the National Company of Footloose, 284 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 6: lots of other shows. 285 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: Very good, excellent, Well, thanks for calling Steve.

And the problem was he didn't even. 291 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 3: Actually come on and perform Buck the other. 292 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 7: Halftime show with the game was over, so everybody went 293 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 7: back to watch the game till and the big the big. 294 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 8: Name for the alternative halftime show. I don't even think 295 00:15:58,920 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 8: anybody saw it. 296 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: Well, actually seven million people saw the alternative show. Seven 297 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: million actually twitched over from the super Bowl to watch 298 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 2: the Kid Rock show.

The only thing I could figure they 302 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 8: had a Spanish singer for the halftime show is maybe 303 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 8: they're trying to bring in that demographic. But I got 304 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 8: to tell you, the guys that are the Spanish guys 305 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 8: I worked with, and the Spanish people I know they 306 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 8: were like soccer, So I don't know who he really 307 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 8: was playing to. I guess maybe the or the younger 308 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 8: people or something like that. Anyway, that was my opinion 309 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 8: about it. 310 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well thanks for calling. The problem is 311 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: you could actually argue that he is the biggest most 312 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 2: successful singer in the world today. But as we were 313 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: saying today, you could be the number one selling artist 314 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: in the world and only one little demographic NOSEA half 315 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: the country's never heard of you. It's all splintered up 316 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: right now, Let's go to Sandy and Long Island. Sandy, 317 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 2: how you doing?

How anyone could 320 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 3: stand that show? I can't figure it out. 321 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 8: He was pretty understanding. 322 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: He can't understand it. But he was pretty good. 323 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 3: He wasn't good. 324 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 2: He was pretty good. 325 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 3: Oh give me a break. 326 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 2: No, you look good. The moves were good. Everything.

I've been listening to your 403 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: radio show this morning, and I got to tell you. You 404 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: and I usually agree, but not this time, my friend, 405 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: what that halftime show was a business? It was horrible. 406 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 2: Well, visually it looked good and the moves were good 407 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: and the music was bouncy lively. 408 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. Back when Prince did it, 409 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: when Bruce did it, when Lady Gaga did it, all 410 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: the way back to when Up with People did it, 411 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: and were all about the music. It was about the 412 00:21:53,560 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: scene to the country, right. Yeah, so you're telling me 413 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: it was an entertaining jokes if you didn't know one 414 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: word he was singing. 415 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, But here's the problem. Was going to ask you well, 416 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 2: back then, Bruce Springsteen was a mainstream artist that everybody knew. 417 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 2: The music now is so splintered. Can you name anybody 418 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 2: that everybody would know, every demo everybody would know. 419 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: Well, the thing that you're missing, I think is the 420 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: fact that most people who speak Spanish are big soccer fans. 421 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: I think you mentioned that once this morning. Yeah, and 422 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: then he goes on and you know, also people forgot 423 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: this was also about the two hundred and fifties anniversary 424 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: of our country, where our actual most people in America 425 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: speak English. God, you know, I'd have nothing against mister Bunny. 426 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: I think he's a fine, fine artist. But here's something 427 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: for you. When you watch when you turn on one 428 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: of the Spanish speaking televisions, do they have an an 429 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: English show on there? No, I don't think so, Mark, 430 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: that's true, of course not so. How many people do 431 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: you think started to watch that? And look, the set 432 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: was beautiful, the dancers were great, But I couldn't understand 433 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: one damn word. 434 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 3: He was singing. 435 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: True don't speak Spanish. 436 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 2: Hey, a lot of today's biggest hits I love. I 437 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 2: can't understand one word to saying either, So oh. 438 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: Come on, you can understand. You can understand Taylor Swift 439 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: when she's singing. 440 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's a bunch of songs. I don't know 441 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 2: what all they're singing, but they're great and I love 442 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 2: them well. 443 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: I you know the other thing people aren't. I don't 444 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: know if you've talked about this or you realize it, 445 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: but you've got to remember Roger Goodell is very clear 446 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: with his plans for his league. He thinks he wants 447 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: it to be the International Football League, not the NFL, 448 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: not the National Football League. He had a games down 449 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: in Mexico, he's spent in London, he's been in Germany. 450 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: They're going I think they're doing one in Italy or France. 451 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: I think, and I think this was just part of 452 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: that big plan. 453 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, you're absolutely right. Hey, Rochie Goodell, who's a 454 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 2: very unpleasant, unlikable sort of guy, but the other guy 455 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 2: owners love him because he knows how to make money. 456 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 2: He makes them a ton of money. So you're right, 457 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 2: that's his plan, more international and expanding. 458 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, that make this fits right into his plan. The 459 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: obvious thing that should have been done it was they're 460 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: forgetting about the you know, I know they had the 461 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: flyover but it's a two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of 462 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: our country, for God's ekes, Then what do you do 463 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: for the halftime show? 464 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? 465 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: I can't. That couldn't take it all right. 466 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 2: But the good thing was Charlie Pooth I thought was 467 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: absolutely brilliancing in the national anthem. Would you agree? 468 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: Yeah? I thought he did a great job. Yeah I did. 469 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: There was no doubt about that. 470 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: I mean, wardrobe wise, he looked ridiculous. He looked like 471 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 2: Marlon Brando in on the Waterfront with that jacket. 472 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: But you know, one of the I don't know, I 473 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: don't even know if you saw this, but there was 474 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: a high highs point in the proceedings in the fourth quarters. 475 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: It's always happened. Some guy ran across the field and 476 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: it was funny too because nobody could catch him except 477 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: a guy in a in a New England uniform. He 478 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: tackled this sob took him down on the ten yard line. 479 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 2: Well, I actually missed it, I thought later, but I 480 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 2: was actually eating then buffet. 481 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. Yeah, But and like I said, 482 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: I thought the sets were beautiful and Bunny was fine. 483 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: I mean he's a great performer. I just i'd like 484 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: sometimes I'd like to hear what there's you know, tell 485 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: here singing? 486 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, but again the problem is Prince was like everybody 487 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 2: knew Prince back then. There's no mainstream singers anymore that 488 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 2: everybody knows. There's no such thing even our You take 489 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 2: our radio stations here on this floor. You got Z 490 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 2: one hundred over there, which you created. You got Power 491 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 2: one O five, you got Q one O four. They 492 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: all played different artists. There's no artist that could get 493 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 2: played on all of our stations. 494 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: You know what, did you get a chance to pay 495 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: much attention to the commercials? 496 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? 497 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: Thought there was some great commercials. This was really a 498 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: battery year for commercials. You had that Uh you had 499 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: that one was it?

It seems like the dumbest sport in the world. 539 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 2: You pay money, goes somewhere where it's colder than where 540 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 2: you are, you have to wear all those contraptions. 541 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,719 Speaker 1: It's well, it worked all right, worked out all right 542 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: for Sonny Bono, didn't it. 543 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 2: Exactly?
