Speaker 3: as the Chairman of the World Cup for the United

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: States because he is a soccer not too so you

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: got Zaramandami. They might as well go down on the pitch.

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: It should be nil nil between the both of them

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: at MetLife Stadium. But they're both crazed about soccer. But

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: let's start with Jorhan first, the People's mayor, right not

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: He has now issued an executive order, he has lost

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: his mind, an emergency executive order to block concerts, food festivals,

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: and any organized activities fifty or more and New York

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: City parks during Fee five to four from FIFA's World

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 3: Cup from July eleventh to July nineteenth. Now, you know

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 3: this is our two hundred and fiftieth birthday, so there

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 3: are a lot of pre activities leading up to it,

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: which is a hell of a lot more important than

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: World Cup. That's number one. Absolutely that has to be

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: challenged in court. That is absolutely nuts. But what is

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 3: the reason behind it? What is he trying to do?

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: All of our resources?

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 3: Public safety security has to be protecting everybody who's coming

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: in to stay in New York City to then go

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 3: to Penn Station.

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: And now we find out wait.

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 2: A second, so he's taking all the resources, yes, and

32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: putting them all into the World Cup. And that's why

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: they're saying you can't go to parks Can because we

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: can't protect you.

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: Cancel if you're in a group of fifty or more,

36
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 3: you cannot have an activity GI That sounds totalitarian, authoritarian, right.

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: And the people coming in are not the peeps you know,

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: the blue collar, working class people. These are the wealthy

39
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: and the rich from Dubai, the UAE people. What's the

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: average price of a ticket to MetLife?

41
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: Well, the average price of a ticket is a few

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. I was talking specifically about the final a

43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: second ago. You know what the cheapest ticket is for

00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: We can't even go to Duffy Square in Times Square

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 3: again to cheapest seats for Broadway.

49
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,960

Speaker 2: and thirty five dollars.

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: Now, if you think that's bad, if you go to.

53
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: Penn Station on a regular basis to go to and

54
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: from home or maybe down to the Jersey shore, forget

55
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 3: about it.

56
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: Penn Station will be a chaotic world.

57
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: Half of it will be closed down during that time,

58
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,920

62
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: which is our football. We had this situation occur. If

63
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 3: you remember, it was twenty fourteen. Shamu wel he Fe,

64
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: Chris Christy was the governor.

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: Don't worry about you don't drive to met life. A disaster.

66
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: People were stuck on New Jersey transit, stuck on the

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: path trains had no way to get out there, a

68
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: complete disaster.

69
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: And then finally we.

70
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: Were supposed to make some money from all of this, Right,

71
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: all these.

72
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: Rich tourists coming in. We're expected to lose forty million dollars. Yeah,

73
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: forty million dollars exactly because the mayor is obsessed with soccer.

74
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: Along with Andrew julil doesn't mean he doesn't mind losing

75
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: forty million dollars. Although he was crying poor just a

76
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago and said, we have to raise

77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: the tax on everyone. But now for Feifer, forty million

78
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: dollars is okay, we can blow that money. By the way,

79
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: getting back to the people, having to restrict how many

80
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: people show up and gather in the parks. That's protected

81
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: by the First Amendment.

82
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: Exactly.

83
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: The right to peaceful assembly is protected in the First Amendment.

84
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: Right up to two hundred and fiftieth birthday.

85
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. This could be challenging. Got to court

86
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: on federal grounds, on constitutional grounds.

87
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: There's gonna go to federal court.

88
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: But now let's take up the case of Andrew Giuliani,

89
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: best known for being a Yankee stadium with his pops.

00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: Donald Trump.

93
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,039

Speaker 1: He listened to everything. We had an agreement.

97
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: That's three things we're im going to talk about because

98
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 3: I hate soccer, I hate golf, and I've had a

99
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: love hate relationship with Trump, and he agreed.

100
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 1: Oh I can't wait for the love part. I haven't

101
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,919

102
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: but not recently.

103
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: Andrew Giuliani has been given the responsibility to corral in

104
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: all these steves from fee five to four from the chairman. Remember,

105
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: gave the award to Trump. You know, That's what you

106
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: do when you want to get on Trump's good set.

107
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 3: Gave him an award. So Trump is He's gonna leave

108
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: it all to Andrew Giuliani if there are any problems.

109
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: You know, who gets the blank? Andrew Giuliani.

110
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 3: And you know something, Andrew, if you're listening somewhere out there,

111
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: you deserve it. You and Mondami. Because I hate soccer.

112
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: It's not an American sport. It shouldn't be here. You

113
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: want to play it in Canada, North America, Mexico. That's fine,

114
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: that's part of NAFTA. We should not be playing it here.

115
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: It is a disgrace. Our game is American smash mouth football.

116
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: How about the fact that we're inviting the world here,

117
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: inviting the world here, and we're going to up the

118
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: taxes on everything. Yes, we're going to soak them every chance.

119
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: We get a rays of three percent on the sales tax,

120
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: a rays of two and a half percent on the

121
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: hotel tell tax, lose fifty cent ride share fee, and

122
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: all sports betting.

123
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: They're putting a fee on the top of that. But

124
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: with all of that, we're gonna lose forty million.

125
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that money goes to him, but I'm

126
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: sure I think that money is gonna go elsewhere.

127
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: Petition in the state. Oh yeah, a little bit, so

128
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: maybe it up. How do we lose forty million? Knowledge

129
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: on this? I want an explanation. There should be a

130
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: city council hearing on this. Oh, you're absolutely right, I

131
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: mean absolutely right. You know, they squawk and talk, they

132
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: do the chicken dance. Now about the budget he is

133
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: a serious thing.

134
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 2: How bad of a politician do you have to be

135
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: to have the World Cup coming into your area and

136
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: you lose money? That's like impossible, that's really hard to do.

137
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 3: This is the tandem. I blame Johan and I blame

138
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: Andrew Giuliani. I want, I want an explanation of this.

139
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: No, I think you're absolutely correct. I hope some of

140
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: the people from city council. Maybe we should get a

141
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: council person.

142
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: On the No, no, no, please, nobody knows who they are.

143
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: We don't know who they are. No, no, no, Actually,

144
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: don't just scream into a microphone. I have some ability.

145
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: I will leave this studio if you get some city

146
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: council person and ask them to go ahead and push

147
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,200

Speaker 1: of course, you can call him.

150
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,080
