1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: You're ahead of the game just for being here. It's

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: marks alone on sevent tenor.

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's Friday Opening day at Yankee Stadium today, at

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: the big event every year. It's gonna be nice. It

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: should be nice later today, sun'll come out. It should

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: be nice tomorrow. It looks like rain on Easter Sunday.

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: The Easter Parade takes place on Fifth Avenue forty ninth

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: to fifty seventh Street, but it looks like it'll rain

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: throughout the parade on Sunday. So Iran is claiming it's

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: shot down a US fighter jet and that the pilot

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: is missing. Now this has not been confirmed by anybody.

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: This is Iran claiming this. They put out a picture

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: of the jet they shot down, saying it's an F

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: thirty five, but US officials looking at it say it's

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: clearly not. They can tell from the pieces it's an

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: F fifteen. And it should be pointed out Iran has

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: a history of claiming to have shot down US jets

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: when they didn't, So we don't know if this is

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: real or not real. And again Iran has light about

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: it before. If it's true the pilot is missing, Iran

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: has said to their public. They will pay a huge

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: reward for anybody that can find the American pilot and

23
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: turn him in. The US has launched a search operation

24
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: inside Iran. Now again. Iran has a history of claiming

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: to have shot down a US plane when they haven't.

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: But I would imagine that our military knows where all

27
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: their planes are, and I would imagine they can tell

28
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: if they've lost a plane or not lost the plane.

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: And they do say there is a search operation underway.

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: So we'll keep on top of that for you. Tiger Woods. Well,

31
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: he got permission to leave the country to go get treatment,

32
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: big big rehabilitation, rehabit tree overseas, which will get him

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: out of the spotlight, he hopes for a long time.

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: More and more coming out about at the scene. The

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: cops show up. They know immediately who he is, and

36
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: they talked to him. They're going to do some test,

37
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: you know, you walk the line and all that kind

38
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: of stuff. But they asked him to wait in the

39
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: car while they go do some stuff. And apparently at

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: one point he got out of the car and started

41
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: wandering a little and he wandered down the road and

42
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 2: he picked you know, he was on his phone. He

43
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: was making some sort of a phone call, wandering down

44
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: the road away from them, making this phone call, and

45
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: then he wandered back, and as he got back towards

46
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: the cops, they can hear him saying into the phone, well,

47
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: thank you so much, all right, you got it. Bye,

48
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: And he then said to the cops, Wow, I was

49
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: just talking with the president. Now. Is that to impress

50
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: the cops? I was just talking to the President of

51
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: the United States. That generally, I mean, it's impressive you're

52
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: talking to the president of United States. It's been in

53
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: a situation like that. It's more confusing the cops now.

54
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: They don't know whether you're lying, what to think of you?

55
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: Why are you telling him? This a strange thing to say,

56
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: really strange thing to say. But if you look at

57
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: outside of that, you look at the bodycam footage, there's

58
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: nothing really bad in there. At one point where they

59
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: put him in the car to take them away, you

60
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: can hear him say, this is fun, all right. I

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: guess he's being sarcastic with himself. So he wasn't drunk.

62
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: He took a breathalyzer. There was no alcohol in his system,

63
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: so it's not like he was. You know, look really drunk.

64
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: He did have trouble with They give you this test.

65
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: We got to walk a straight line. Have you ever

66
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: tried that? Go? Try it totally sober. It's hard to do.

67
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: He wasn't good on the test, but those tests are

68
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: very hard to do. It's really tough. But we won't

69
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: hear much about it.

70
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: Now.

71
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: He'll go overseas to some rehab center. I don't know

72
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: where it's going to be. He'll go away for months

73
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: and months. Who knows, maybe I'll never come back. But

74
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: he's going to try to just stay over there as

75
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: long as possible avoid this trial, which could send him

76
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: to jail. And when you're on your third or fourth offense,

77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: you most likely will go to jail and then the

78
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: lawyers behind the scenes will try to try to work

79
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: out something. And we were talking about the ballroom before

80
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: President Trump. This was great. He was talking about no kings.

81
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: They call me king. Now do you believe it?

82
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: No King, I'm such you're king.

83
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: I can't get a ballroom approved. So it is strange

84
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: that he can't get this ballroom approved. It's a great idea.

85
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: Presidents have always wanted the ballroom. It's kind of stupid

86
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: that we don't have a place to hold a big

87
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: event at the White House. Get if they do a

88
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: big event, they got to put a tent on the

89
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: lawn and it looks like a cheesy wedding in Long Island.

90
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: So the ballroom's a good idea, and if you're going

91
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: to do it, you might as well do it when

92
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: you got the greatest ballroom builder in the world in

93
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: the White House.

94
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: Part of his opinion.

95
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: Now the court rules against it and says he has

96
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: no authority to do it, but he's got a good

97
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: point here. It's not a government expense. If the government

98
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 2: were paying for it, if he was going to use

99
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: the government's money, maybe then you should get congressional approval.

100
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: But there's no government money.

101
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: Part of his opinion. But basically he's saying I need

102
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: congressional approval, and he's so wrong. This is being financed privately.

103
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 3: It's a donation that's being given by companies, very rich companies,

104
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: very rich people. The ballroom is a donation. It's gotten

105
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: great reviews, people love it, and presidents for one hundred

106
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 3: and fifty years have wanted this ballroom to be built.

107
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 2: So I guess the again, it's a crazy left wing judge.

108
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: He's got a bow tie on, he's got those bizarre eyebrows.

109
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: He's a weird looking guy, left wing, you know, an

110
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: NPR listening ms NOW type of a judge. So he's

111
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: just out to stop President Trump from doing anything. But

112
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: I guess the argument would be because the judge said,

113
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: he's he doesn't own the White House, he's merely the steward.

114
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: So in other words, if I guess, what he's saying is,

115
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: if you rent an Airbnb, you don't have the right

116
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 2: to remodel the house while you're there, build an addition

117
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: onto it. It's not your house. I guess that's what

118
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: he said. But who says Congress has the right over

119
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: the White House? You know, it's supposed to be a

120
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: separation of powers, three branches of government. Why would the

121
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: legislative branch be allowed to determine what the executive branch does.

122
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: The executive branch controls the White House, I guess, And

123
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: so the argument is to stop Now, there have been

124
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: plenty of changes to the White House without Congressional approval.

125
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: You know who it was, it FDR. Somebody decided they

126
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: want a pool, so they took one room and built

127
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: a swimming pool right in the White House, big swimming

128
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: pool without congressional approval, and a lot of stuff happened

129
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: in that pool. That's where JFK had those two hookers

130
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 2: come and went with him, Pixie and Dixie or whatever

131
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: their names were. That's where Lyndon Johnson would swim, you know,

132
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: that's where Joe Biden would go swimming when he was

133
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: I think when he was vice president or president he would,

134
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: but he would. This is kind of disgusting. Joe Biden

135
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: would swim naked. And part of his Secret Service detail

136
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: where female, and they hated looking at him naked. It

137
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: was awkward, it was inappropriate. And you see how shriveled

138
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: up he looks on the outside. When an old prune

139
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: is I can imagine having a look at Joe Biden

140
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: naked swimming in the pool. President Trump comes in and

141
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: has no use for a swimming pool, and he has

142
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: it covered up and he builds that the press room

143
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: was not very big. They didn't have a big press room,

144
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: so he decides to build a better one and they

145
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: cover up the pool and build it over the swimming pool.

146
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: Now all of this is without congressional approval. A lot

147
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: of things are done without congressional approval. You could argue, well,

148
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: the ballroom is different, it's so massive, it's almost the

149
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: same as the whole White House. It's such a big change.

150
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: But again, if you're allowed to change stuff without congressional approval,

151
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 2: I think he'll win this in the end. He should

152
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: win this in the end. To see, you'll get these

153
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: crazy judges that mean's the kind of thing. I'll go

154
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court and it'll probably come down to

155
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: executive branch can do this without congressional approval. It's their building.

156
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: Congress you know, changes things. Sometimes, they'll make a big

157
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: change in the in the Capitol building. They'll build something new,

158
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 2: they'll add a wing, they'll change the entrance. They'll do it.

159
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: They don't have to go get executive branch approval. They

160
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: don't have to get approval from the president. So it

161
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: should work both ways. So now, who would you say

162
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: if you ask Sharon Stone? Now, think of Sharon Stone.

163
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: She's made a lot of movies with a lot of people.

164
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: If you asked her who is the greatest kisser in Hollywood?

165
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 2: Who would she pick out of all her leading men?

166
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: Sharon Stone, Well, she was asked that on Radio Andy

167
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: podcast yesterday without hesitation, she said, Robert de Niro. She said,

168
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: Robert de Niro the best kisser in the business. He

169
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: was the greatest kisser. Sharon Stone, now sixty eight, said,

170
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: and Casino, there were a couple of scenes where the

171
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: kiss he gave her was unbelievable. It said he just

172
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: kissed her right out of her shoes. In fact, there

173
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: was one where the kiss was unbelievable. And then Scorsese said,

174
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: that's good, that's good, or do you want to do

175
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: another text? She goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another text.

176
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: She so, Hey, it's possible de Niro could be the

177
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 2: greatest kisser in how it's possible. Not the brightest guy

178
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: in the world. But he's now eighty two. No response

179
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: from him yet. She also did say he was an

180
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: actor that I admired the most. He was the actor

181
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: I admired most and wanted to act with. So she

182
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: kind of idolized the guy. Sometimes the kiss is better

183
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: if it's a guy you happen to idolize that that

184
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: can make a big differen Hey, you're going to see

185
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: crime numbers coming down, mom. Donnie will take credit for that,

186
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: and he deserves credit because he's figured out a way

187
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: to bring the crime numbers down. Change the way you

188
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: count them, changed the system for counting them. It's like

189
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 2: the anti Semitic hate crimes. He brought the number down

190
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: by changing the way they count them. He used to

191
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: count them by whenever anybody calls nine to one one

192
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 2: because of an anti Semitic attack, that counts. Now he's

193
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 2: changed it too. There's a committee that will decide if

194
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: it was a hate crime or not, and they'll tell

195
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: you if it counts. Same thing with the crime statistics.

196
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: You can change the way they count them, and that

197
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: can bring the number down. But that doesn't stop from

198
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 2: bragging about it.

199
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: Each of these numbers paint a picture of a safer,

200
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: more welcoming city for our fellow New Yorkers, and they

201
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: tell a story that statistics can never fully capture. Countless

202
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: subway rides, evening walks, and trips to the park that

203
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: ended exactly as they should have, boringly without incidents.

204
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, well again, Hey, crime is pretty good for if

205
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: you're out there in the suburbs or out there somewhere

206
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: in America. You're listening to think. So it's too dangerous

207
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: to most of Manhattan is very, very safe. There's not

208
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: a lot of crime here. There is a crime in

209
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: New York, but it's contained mostly in eight precincts. If

210
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 2: you're in the middle of Manhattan, if you haven't been

211
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 2: here in the years, and you come into right here

212
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: in Midtown and walk around, it's absolutely fine. Looks like

213
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: it looks like it always looked. Mom Donnie get into

214
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: a huge fight with the city council. We got really lucky.

215
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: You get the craziest, most left wing kook of a

216
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: socialist mayor elected. We got really lucky that somehow the

217
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: city council. I mean, they're going to elect a Democrat

218
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 2: to be their speaker. It's always gonna be a Democrat.

219
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: But we got really lucky. They picked a moderate, common

220
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: sense Democrat, Julie Men and she has stood up to

221
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie on a lot of things. Mom Donnie wants

222
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: to go crazy raising taxes, raising property taxes. It's absolutely insane.

223
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: All you do is lose people and you lose revenue.

224
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: Every time you raise taxes and raised property tax you'll

225
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: lose revenue. People leave. You know, if you were one

226
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: of these states, Texas, Florida, there's a lot of states

227
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: where they got rid of all the taxes, and all

228
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: of a sudden they take in twice as much money

229
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: because everybody starts moving there, business booms, the economy grows.

230
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: But when he wanted to do this crazy tax raise

231
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: and he's got his army ready to go to all

232
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: billion push for it, city council speaker Julie Mennon stands

233
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: up to him and said, if you got a five

234
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: billion dollar deficit in your budget, which is out of

235
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty eight billion, you cut five billion

236
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: and costs. You don't raise the taxes, that'll just make

237
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: you lose money. You cut costs, and she proposed a

238
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: whole bunch of it's easy to do. Most of that

239
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: budget is waist fraud bloat. You could cut the budget

240
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 2: in half easily without cutting any services. It's just all

241
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: the waste in fraud. So she proposed some minor cuts

242
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: and he went nuts. Mom Donnie made a video, a

243
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: bunch of videos. That's what he does best. He's not

244
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: a management guy, doesn't know how to run anything, but

245
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: he's an Instagram guy. He's a TikTok guy. So he

246
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 2: went out and made videos attacking this, saying that it's

247
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: a doomsday scenario. City services would be cut, everybody's going

248
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: to starve to death. But he put out all these

249
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: videos and then she just lashed out at him. This

250
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: is deeply misleading, potentially harmful. Even Democrats started to attack

251
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. He said, I thought this would be different.

252
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: I thought things would be better. So Mam Donnie got

253
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: a hell of a backlash even from Democrats for his crazy,

254
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: over the top videos. And even the Socialists aren't backing

255
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: him on this, so that's pretty good news. Even the

256
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 2: socialists have attacked him on this. Now, the mayor's videos

257
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: he put up got two and a half million views.

258
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. But a council source also said, besides

259
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: the backlash, Mom Donnie is burning a lot of bridges

260
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 2: with lawmakers. This is standard stuff. Budget negotiation is pretty standard.

261
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: You don't burn your bridges over this. Hey, Well take

262
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: some calls next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven

263
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero

264
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: seven ten
