1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,439 Speaker 1: So the media wants you to believe the Democrat corporate 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: media wants you to think that they speak truth to power, 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: that their job is journalism, and that they're hoping to 4 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: inform you without fear or favor, YadA, YadA, et cetera. 5 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: Set we all know that's not the case, and in 6 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: recent years it has become even more clear that that 7 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: is not the case, that that is not reality, that 8 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: is not what is going on. And there are some 9 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: instances of it where you really get to see a 10 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:45,319 Speaker 1: little bit of how the journal sausage is made. And 11 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: we have to tip our hat here to mister Dave Portnoy, who, 12 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: like Clay, is a sportsworld man, comes from the world 13 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: of sports and is the founder of Barstool Sports. Now 14 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: there's a hit, and Clay will fill in any of 15 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: the details here that I might be missing that irrelevant, 16 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: But there's a event he's doing in a couple of days, 17 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: and Clay, you're gonna reach out. We'll see if Dave 18 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: wants to come on. Maybe we'll see if you want, 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 1: I'll text him, see if he wants to come on tomorrow. 20 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: I was waiting to see and I just checked his 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: Twitter feed if the Washington Post has reached out anymore. 22 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: So there is no update other than what we're about 23 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: to play for you, except that they canceled their interview. 24 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: And this is I think so instructive. If you're a 25 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: kid out there and you're wondering, like you said it, 26 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: how the sausage gets made, how does a story come 27 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: to be written? This is kind of taking you into 28 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: the weeds a little bit. And one of the things 29 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: that I've seen before, for example, is you know, a 30 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: journalist will reach out to someone who's a target because 31 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: of their ideology. 32 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: Let's understand this. 33 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: You are targeted now for ideological reasons by these journals, 34 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: and you'll have somebody who says, oh, you know, they'll 35 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: put something out that says, well, we didn't get a 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: comment from you, and the person will actually call them 37 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: out publicly and it'll come out that, yeah, they sent 38 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: a LinkedIn message request like two hours before. 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: Oh, that's the only way we can find you. I 40 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: don't know about you. 41 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: If you send me a LinkedIn message request, I may 42 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: get to it in about ten years, right, Like I 43 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: don't know how to get on LinkedIn. 44 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's what I mean. You know, you could 45 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: send me. 46 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: You could send me a friendstor message I think is 47 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: that website even that doesn't exist anymore, right, but you 48 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You could send me an Aol 49 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: instant message or something and guess what, I'm not going 50 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: to get it. But they do that so they can say, well, 51 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: we tried, and they can just run with the story. 52 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of tricks that they pull. I've 53 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: also learned people ask me this. They'll say, well, will 54 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: you speak to what I would call regime media because 55 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: not really anymore, but back in the day, they used 56 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: to reach out to me occasionally for comment on different 57 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: like terrorism related things when I was doing a lot 58 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: of that work and count you know, counter terrorism analysis, 59 00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: and I would I learned the answer, Clay is no, 60 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: because if you're giving them a quote, they can introduce 61 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: the quote as you know, right wing lunatic who always 62 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: makes stuff up. Buck Sexton says this, and you're like, 63 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: why am I giving them? You know, if they're going 64 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: to say that anyway? Don't anyway, you guys see how 65 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: some of this goes. So Dave Portnoy figured out that 66 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: the Washington Post was planning to do, well, what they 67 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: did was They sent an email out right to his 68 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: sponsors for his event on Saturday, and the email says 69 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: something like, well, here Dave recorded his conversation with this reporter. 70 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: Here is how it went. Play the clip. 71 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: If you don't have your opinion made of me, how 72 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: do you say in an intro email Dave Portnoy, he 73 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: has a history of misogenic comments and other problematic behavior. 74 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: That's how you introduce the email. 75 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, so look, I just want you to know that 76 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,839 Speaker 4: this is no I want to talk to you about this, 77 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 4: But don't you. 78 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: Think you should talk to me before sending that email? 79 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: Have you made your mind up about me? 80 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 4: We're in the reporting phase, you know, I can't for 81 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 4: me to say, and I'm also working with somebody else. 82 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 3: But that seems like a pretty straightforward question that have 83 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: you made your mind up about me? 84 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: If you can't answer that, no. 85 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 4: I can say I have not made my mind up about. 86 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: You, then why would you include that in the In 87 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 3: the email those sponsors. 88 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: It's sort of a reporting tactic. 89 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 4: When you want someone to respond, you kind of have 90 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 4: to indicate that there might be something negative and then 91 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 4: you get them to engage. That's all I was trying 92 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 4: to do. I really wanted them to engage with me. 93 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 3: That is a bad state of journalism if that's the 94 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 3: tactic that you have to what I would say. 95 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 5: Is make up something about somebody. Wow, that's well cut. 96 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 5: That's well cut by Greg. I think here on the 97 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 5: staff who I mean, you can go watch that, Buck, 98 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 5: I was just looking over thirty million people have watched 99 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 5: the entire He recorded his entire conversation with this Washington 100 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 5: Post reporter, who, as you can hear in that comment, 101 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 5: had been sending out email saying basically to any advertiser, 102 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 5: why are you working with this misogynist stick individual and 103 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 5: basically trying to shame the advertiser for being involved. And 104 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 5: by the way, you might be wondering, what's going on. 105 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 5: It's a pizza festival. So this is not like I mean, 106 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 5: it's a freaking pizza festivals. It's not like he's putting 107 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 5: on and get out the vote, you know, like New 108 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 5: York or say secure. 109 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: The border, build a wall. 110 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 5: It's a pizza festival. So the idea that you would 111 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 5: be saying, how in the world can But this is important, Buck, 112 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 5: because you know this. But I think a lot of 113 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 5: our listeners don't necessarily. This is what the Washington Post 114 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 5: and the New York Times have become. They basically are 115 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 5: the attack dog of left wing organizations. Remember when they 116 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 5: named us, what did they name us, the third biggest 117 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 5: purveyor of misinformation COVID misinformation. Yes, And we invited the 118 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 5: people on who did the study and they refused to 119 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 5: come on, if. 120 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: There's another pandemic, we're coming for you and we're going 121 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: to catch you. 122 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 5: And then we invited the New York Times had a 123 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 5: front page article about it, and we invited the writer 124 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 5: of the New York Times article to come on. If 125 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 5: you really thought that we were massive purveyors of misinformation, 126 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 5: wouldn't you want to come talk to this audience. But no, 127 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 5: what it's designed to do. And look, I've seen this 128 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 5: happen with YouTube, I've seen this happen with everybody. Is 129 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 5: they want to scare businesses away from being associated with 130 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 5: people whose opinions they don't like. And instead of writing 131 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 5: a story where it could just be like, hey, I 132 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 5: disagree with your opinions and being fair and impartial as 133 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 5: a journalist should be, Hey, here's what this person has said. 134 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 5: Here's what they've done. Give us a full throated understanding 135 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 5: of somebody. What they're trying to do is write and 136 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 5: shame these advertisers and get them to pull out, because 137 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 5: they want these companies to be terrified because their PR 138 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 5: team is going to be like, the Washington Post just 139 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 5: wrote a negative article about us, What in the world 140 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 5: are we going to do? And here he flips the 141 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 5: script and goes to them directly beforehand. And the other 142 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 5: thing I would say, Buck, is I've had the same 143 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 5: issue with the Washington Post. I've had issues with organizations. 144 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 5: Ask them to put their questions in writing for you. 145 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 5: It's amazing how rarely they're willing to do that. If 146 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 5: you think somebody's going to write something negative about you, 147 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 5: and you're out there listening to us right now, and 148 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 5: they contact you and they want to comment, So, yeah, 149 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 5: can you write your questions and I'll respond to them 150 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 5: in writing, because then you have a record of exactly 151 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 5: what you're responding if you want to respond at all. 152 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 5: But you also then have all of their questions and 153 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 5: a record of them instead of And I gotta tell 154 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 5: you everybody, if you talk to somebody for twenty minutes 155 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 5: and they take a sentence out of whatever, twenty minutes 156 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 5: you said, they can make you seem whatever they want. 157 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 5: It's just not a fair and impartial piece of journalism. 158 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: I also think it's funny when she says, you know, 159 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: sometimes you basically just have to say something kind of 160 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: crazy to get a response. It's like you're you're maligning 161 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: someone's character. I mean, you're you're going after a person. 162 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: And going after sponsors is a particularly pernicious way to 163 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: do journalism because you're not just saying this is my 164 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: opinion of someone, You're obviously trying to pull their business model. Yes, 165 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: and it's gross. You know, you know, we don't go 166 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: after people's sponsors here, We don't try to get rid 167 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: of people's business models. Look, people revolted against the bud 168 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: Light campaign. That wasn't you know that happened. We weren't saying, oh, 169 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: do this or do that. That's just the reality of 170 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: how people responded to bud Light and that trans influencer. 171 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: But there's something really deeply, you know, something really underhanded 172 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: about the way an organization like The Washington Post would 173 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: set this up. And I think that Portnoy was able 174 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: to expose it so that people can. 175 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: Breaking news on sevent ten wor. 176 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 6: This is Jeff McKinney and from the WR newsroom with 177 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 6: some breaking news. A Greyhound bus accident westbound I eighty 178 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 6: four near wayway Yonda near Middletown in Goshen, New York. 179 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 6: This is in Orange County. Traffic is backed up for 180 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 6: miles on westbound I eighty four. At least fifty people 181 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 6: aboard the bus. We understand that bus appears to have 182 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 6: rolled onto its side and the medium between east and 183 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 6: westbound I eighty four, and we're getting word just now 184 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 6: that I eighty four is closed in both directions between 185 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 6: exits one and fifteen, and the expectation is that this 186 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 6: should be the case for several hours that closure. Multiple 187 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 6: injuries are being reported beyond that. Details are still coming in, 188 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 6: so avoid that area. I'm Jeff McKinney from the newsroom. 189 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 6: We'll send it back now to Clay in book there. 190 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: When they're pretending to be something that they're not right, 191 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: when they're deciding that they're going to write a certain 192 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: kind of narrative, I think it's disgraceful. So, you know, 193 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: props the porting way here. 194 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 5: I think also bucket A good way to put this 195 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 5: is we think the view is the dumbest show on television. 196 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: They should have us both on. 197 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: It would be the highest rated set, It would be 198 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: the best, most clipped, highest rated view of the year. 199 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: But we would never on this show. 200 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 5: We play the clips of the View so that you 201 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 5: guys can can hear some of the ridiculous things they say. 202 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 5: And I think most of their audience is idiots too. 203 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 5: But I would never have OutKick reach out to whoever 204 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 5: the View's advertisers are and say, Hey, you know, Sharman Ultra, 205 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 5: are you sure that you want to Are you sure 206 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 5: that you want to be spending your money? Hey always 207 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 5: with wings, Are you sure that you want to be 208 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 5: spending your money on the View? No, like there is 209 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 5: an audience for their idiocy, and some of you out 210 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 5: there may say there's an audience for you and bucks 211 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 5: idiocy it too. They may think that that's fine when 212 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 5: you're going after sponsors. What you're trying to do is 213 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 5: cancel people that you don't like their opinions, and that 214 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 5: is and they claim Holier than Thou status, but that's 215 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 5: really what they're doing. 216 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: It's just a direct attack at the business itself. So 217 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: if you had to have. 218 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: Just a drink with one of the cast members of 219 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: Right Now, Who would it be if you had to 220 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: sit down have a drink? A friendly drink, not a debate, 221 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: but you have to actually hang out with one of them. 222 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: Okay, so I'll rank them. They're five, right, I can't 223 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: even name all that. 224 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 5: I think it's Whoopee, Anna Navarro, Joy Behar, Sonny Houstin, 225 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 5: and Alyssa Right, Alyssa Fara Griffin, I think that, and 226 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 5: somebody staff can correct me if I'm wrong. I think 227 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 5: they have five women on the view pretty much every day. 228 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 5: They may rotate in somebody else. So here's my power 229 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 5: rankings for who I'd most like to have a drink with. 230 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 5: Probably Whoopy Goldberg won just because she's super famous and 231 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 5: she at least has been has been funny for much 232 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 5: of her career, so I think she probably could make 233 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 5: you laugh while you were having a drink. I'd probably 234 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 5: put Alyssa second, Joy Behart third. I think all three 235 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 5: of those people could maybe Joy Bahar second, Alyssa third, 236 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 5: because I think Joy Bahar and Whoopee might be able 237 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 5: to make you laugh as their comedians. 238 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: Bayhars probably really really funny to have a drink with. 239 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: Same same with Whoopee, I would go. I mean Whoopee 240 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: would be my top choice as well. 241 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 5: So yeah, but I would not want to have a 242 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 5: drink with Sonny Hostin or with Anna Navarro. Both of 243 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 5: them seem really unlikable to me, particularly Sonny Houston, whose 244 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 5: face to me something they always looks like she's smelling 245 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 5: something that she doesn't like. 246 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: I think both of them would be in a I 247 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: think they would be utterly contemptuous of you and me, 248 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: So that would that would not be to our favor. 249 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 5: Probably would not go well in that respect either. That's 250 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 5: a good the power rankings a good good question. I 251 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 5: think Whoopy would actually not be bad one on one 252 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 5: And even. 253 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: Though I think Jory d I will tell you, and 254 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: this is I always get yelled at when I say 255 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: things like this. I know someone who knows who knows 256 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: wo By Goldberg and says she's actually really pleasant and nice. 257 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 258 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 5: So, and there's that joy Bayhar at least I think 259 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 5: is dumb. But that doesn't mean she couldn't be funny. 260 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: And I'm sure you get a couple of Chardonnay's enjoy 261 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: and she's hilarious. 262 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 5: And they probably those people know everybody, so they probably 263 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 5: got some good stories, So those would be my top 264 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 5: two choices.

So you would think the White House 297 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 5: might get some questions about it. Carene Jean Pierre, with 298 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 5: a White House press briefing, Our friend Peter du from 299 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 5: Fox News asked her about that number reported by Bill Malugin. 300 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 5: This is what the interaction sounded like. 301 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: So what do you call it here at the White House? 302 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 5: When ten thousand people illegally crossed the border in a 303 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 5: single day, So what. 304 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: Do you call it? 305 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 5: Peter? 306 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 7: When Gop puts forth a wait, no, no. 307 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you can't. 308 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 2: I'm answering. 309 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 4: Okay, we're gonna move no no no no no no no. 310 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 6: No, we're moving on. 311 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: Think about that. 312 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 7: No. No. 313 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: I tried to answer, Peter, I tried to answer the question. 314 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 5: You stopped me. 315 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: Let's go whoa, it's getting feisty in that room. 316 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: This is again, I don't under tell me this buck. 317 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 5: If you're in the White House press briefing and you 318 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 5: actually are concerned about the day to day storylines of America, 319 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 5: how could almost every question not be about the border. 320 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 2: Right now we're. 321 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 5: Setting potentially an all time record high for the number 322 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 5: of people that are cross the borders. And Caree Jean 323 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 5: Pierre really had no answer. That's a bad look. I mean, 324 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 5: you know that question's coming. She's bad at her job, clearly. 325 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 5: But I hope there are other reporters who follow up 326 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 5: and ask the same question, because what Peter Doucy was 327 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 5: asking is one hundred percent of valid question. The Democrats 328 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 5: are wide open on this issue, I mean meaning that 329 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 5: they're really vulnerable and that's not going to change anytime soon, 330 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 5: because for it to change their entire, you know, their 331 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 5: entire approach to the border would have to shift right, 332 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 5: I mean, they would have to be willing to turn 333 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 5: people away. And also, what are they going to do 334 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 5: about all the illegals who already in the country.

You know, how is this just. 387 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: Turning into a bigger and bigger problem for the city, 388 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: like what's going on with the migrant crisis there? 389 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 7: Well, as of today, we have two hundred and eight 390 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 7: shelters between hotels that have been leased, nursing homes like 391 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 7: the one which caused this protest, and of course the 392 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 7: tensetives that are being erected at various government properties around 393 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 7: the city. And what you're seeing is people getting really frustrated, right, 394 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 7: I mean, you know, fuck, you have a house, you 395 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 7: live somewhere, right, I mean imagine you saved up your 396 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 7: life savings, put it on a down payment on a 397 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 7: house and then basically committed that for the rest of 398 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 7: your working life. You're going to pay a significant portion 399 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 7: of your income to paying the rest of that house, 400 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 7: and then the city comes along and just smack, puts 401 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 7: a homeless shelter right next to your house where there 402 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 7: once was a school, or there once was a park 403 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 7: in some cases, where there once was a nursing home 404 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 7: for seniors. So people are rightfully, incredibly, incredibly angry at 405 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 7: the situation, and it's kind of festering into some angry protests. 406 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 5: Are you starting to see protests, Joe, from people that 407 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 5: you never thought would be protesting Democrat policies? Because one 408 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 5: of the things that we've seen that's most intriguing, and 409 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 5: we've shared some of the interviews that have been taking place, 410 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 5: is you got long time Democratic voters, now black voters, 411 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 5: Hispanic voters, Asian voters who for a long time have 412 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 5: just been, you know, vote blue, vote blue, and they're 413 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 5: suddenly looking around saying, we've been voting blue for a 414 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 5: long time and things are going. 415 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 2: Really really bad. Have you seen it like this before? 416 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 5: How would you assess it in terms of the traditional 417 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 5: Democrat corps vote suddenly turning on Democrat policies. 418 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 7: Well, I think it's interesting that you brought up sort 419 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 7: of the diversity in opposition. So we just had a 420 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 7: poll come out a couple of weeks ago from Siana 421 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 7: College which indicated that overall, eighty two percent of New 422 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 7: Yorkers think this is a crisis. The biggest ethnic majority 423 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 7: of people who said we have to close the border 424 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 7: and stop the migrants from coming to New York City 425 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 7: were actually African American respondents to this poll, which is interesting, right, 426 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 7: but it plays into exactly what I said before. You 427 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 7: have African American people work their whole life flap down 428 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 7: and down payment. Now there's multiple homeless shelters in their 429 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 7: neighborhood and they're just as effected as anybody else. This 430 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 7: has been unfortunately right. I don't root for the destruction 431 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 7: of New York City to gain the votes, but this 432 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 7: has been great for the Republican Party in the city, 433 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 7: and we've seen us picking up seats at the city 434 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 7: council level of the state legislatives level as more and 435 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 7: more New Yorkers of wolf stripes and ethnicities have groun 436 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 7: more frustrated in the failure of democratic control at the local, state, 437 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 7: and federal level. 438 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: What does what does the billions of dollars Joe that 439 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: are a part of this budget, or you know that 440 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: are going to cut into the budget. 441 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: What does it mean for city services? 442 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: Just for the overall economic future of New York if 443 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: this reaches let's say the twelve billion dollars that they've 444 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: said it will over the next few years, to just 445 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: deal with the mirants. 446 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 7: Well, to take a number like the projection for next 447 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 7: fiscal year six billion dollars that is the same size 448 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 7: as the entire budget of Phoenix, Arizona. So the taxpayers 449 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 7: of America's largest city could actually just pay for every 450 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 7: single service the city that the country's fifth largest city 451 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 7: actually provides, police, fire, sanitation, cutting the grass in the parks, 452 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 7: inspecting buildings, to in all the things that cities rightfully 453 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 7: have to do. We're paying the same amount on as 454 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 7: it stands, sixty two thousand migrants in our shelter every night. 455 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 7: By the way, the other twenty thousand people that are 456 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 7: sort of transitioned out of the shelter system, they still 457 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 7: are factored into this cost even though we're not housing them, 458 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 7: because we are still providing healthcare at some level, we 459 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 7: are still providing education if they have children. So this 460 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 7: is a this is a cost that will continue to 461 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 7: grow whether our shelter system continues to expand or not. 462 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 5: So, Joe, one of the crazy things is, as all 463 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 5: of this is going on, Buck mentions the twelve billion, 464 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 5: we were just discussing the large degree of racial diversity 465 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 5: eighty two percent, as you said, of people who agree 466 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 5: that this is wrong, majorities of all different sorts of backgrounds. 467 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 5: I see that the New York City Council is debating 468 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 5: whether George Washington and Christopher Columbus statues should still exist. 469 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 5: It feels so tone deaf, like back when San Francisco 470 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 5: was trying to rename their schools while all the schools 471 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 5: were still shut down. Of all the things New York 472 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 5: City has to be worried about, George Washington Columbus statues 473 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 5: seem very far down on the list. 474 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 2: How would you assess this? Do you think most people 475 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 2: agree it's so stupid? 476 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 7: I mean, this is like the return of the Pumpkin latte, 477 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 7: Like every nova every fall or so, New York City 478 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 7: goes through this. We have to take the Columbus statue 479 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 7: down charade. It doesn't amount to anything, but it goes 480 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 7: to show you where the progressive mindset is We actually 481 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 7: have a statue commission at one point to take down 482 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 7: some of these statues, and the one that everyone agreed 483 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 7: on was this guy named Jay Mariy and Simms who 484 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 7: used to do horrendous experiments on African American slaves. Like, okay, great, 485 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 7: take that guy down. But we're talking about some of 486 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 7: the most quintessential Americans, the people who have provided us 487 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 7: with the most free country in the history of mankind. 488 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 7: These are not people to be trivialized or even denounced. 489 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 7: These are people to be celebrated. And yet this is 490 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 7: what the progressive mindset just leads us to, where we 491 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 7: have to erase part of our cultural history. 492 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: Essentially speaking of Joe BURRELLI of the New York City Council, 493 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: and what is it about that I always feel like 494 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: the Columbus statue Joe is one that you know, there's 495 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: the Washington and Jefferson. Peter Stuyvesant got thrown into the 496 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: mix this year, so you know, some folks got to 497 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: brush up a little bit on early New York City 498 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: or you know, early New Amsterdam history. It'd be like, wait, 499 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: what did Peter Stuyvesant doing exactly? But the Columbus statue. Look, 500 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: where does that come from? And there's a lot of 501 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: Italian Americans in New York who they're fiery about keeping 502 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: that Columbus statue in place. 503 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 7: Well, Columbus has been a symbol of the Italian American 504 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 7: community most Italian many Italian clubs are called Columbia associations 505 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 7: in honor of the explorer. So it is one of 506 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 7: these personal affronts to Italian American culture to sort of 507 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 7: denounce this person who was acting as a character of 508 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 7: his own era and not someone we can, you know, 509 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 7: obviously go back four hundred years and judge according to 510 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 7: our own standards. But it's amazing though that the laws 511 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 7: of historical figures only impact white people in America. And 512 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 7: basically we routinely in the city council name streets and 513 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 7: commemorate things after horrible people. They just don't happen to 514 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 7: be the white people. We renamed the street after a 515 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 7: man named Jean Jacques Dessaline, who was one of the 516 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 7: founding fathers of Haiti, who actually massacred all the French 517 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 7: and German colonizers that were essentially the slaveholders of Haiti. 518 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 7: I supported that. I don't care. I'm not here to 519 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 7: tell Haitians who they should look up to or who 520 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 7: they shouldn't look up to. But I just want that 521 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 7: same courtesy to be extended to Italian Americans. And in 522 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 7: this case we happened to like Columbus. 523 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 5: Joe, what letter grade would you give Eric Adams at 524 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 5: this point in his tenure as mayor? 525 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 7: So you have to always compare to the last guy, right, 526 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 7: So Bill de Guasio was ideologically awful. I mean, he 527 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 7: woke up and if he won on some of his 528 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 7: policy goals, the city would be worse off. So I 529 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 7: give Adams a deer a sea because I think is 530 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 7: his optimism for the city and his interest in returning 531 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 7: business and growing the city's commerce and bringing back jobs. 532 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 7: I think those are the right direction. I just think 533 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 7: he is clearly an imperfect messenger and an imperfect operator, 534 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 7: because he really should be on the other side of 535 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 7: this migrant issue by now. It was a cute experiment 536 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 7: at first, when it was going to be five thousand 537 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 7: people or ten thousand people. It was a great way 538 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 7: for him to virtue signal and be, you know, part 539 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 7: of the Democratic national team. We're going to care for 540 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 7: the migrants. Now it's really really hurting us, and he 541 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 7: has to feel personally angry that the party has left 542 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 7: him out to dry, and so I hope he swings 543 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 7: back harder and goes stronger against Joe Biden and sort 544 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 7: of Democrats and the Senate at this point, who haven't 545 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 7: done any sort of water build the house. GFP passed 546 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 7: HR two back in May. Senate has done nothing with 547 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 7: our own home. 548 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: Senator Chuck Schumer, what is the one most important thing 549 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: other than the migrant situation, we'll put that aside. What's 550 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: the most important thing that New York City could do 551 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: in your mind to get on the right track to 552 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: being the city that you know, I remember from when 553 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: I was in high school and college was just in 554 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: an absolute golden age. 555 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 7: It should, it should do everything we can to get 556 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 7: commercial vacancy down. But how you do that is sort 557 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 7: of the collective approach to making the city better. So 558 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 7: the need is to get people in corporate offices that 559 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 7: pay for a big chunk of our tax revenue. The 560 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 7: method and the tactics to that is restoring crime levels 561 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 7: to what they used to be, making sure schools are safer, 562 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 7: making sure that the streets don't look like a third 563 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 7: world country, maybe not, you know, charging motorists now with 564 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 7: congestion pricing twenty three dollars just to go to work 565 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 7: every day. So those are the kind of things that 566 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 7: collectively would allow our city's commercial real estate market to 567 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 7: grow to the level it was, and thus we could 568 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 7: have the revenue that we used to have, which even 569 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 7: though even though we spend more money than most cities, 570 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 7: we actually got a pretty good bang for our buck, 571 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 7: I would say. Throughout the Bloomberg administration as an example, 572 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 7: New York City really was reaching its shride in the 573 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 7: late two thousands. 574 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: Joe Burrell, Hey, everybody, Joe, don't you have a history 575 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: book on Staten Island for anyone who's interested. 576 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 7: No, buck, I got two.

We all know that thanks to Joe BURRELLI. 601 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 2: By the way, statenon that's. 602 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 5: A headline for the shutter Day. Joe Biden is bad. 603 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 5: Joe Biden is bad. We all know that Tabla Harris, 604 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 5: I think, is it worse? So she keeps proving that 605 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 5: she is a really bad communicator every time she opens 606 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 5: her mouth. But I saw this yesterday. She's trying to 607 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 5: tell a parable, and I think the focus is climate change. 608 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 5: But the parable doesn't make sense to me. And I 609 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 5: listened to it, and then I brought over my fifteen 610 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 5: year old and my thirteen year old, and I said, hey, boys, 611 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 5: listen to this. Just think about it logically, Buck, you 612 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 5: haven't heard this at all. I'm curious if you respond 613 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 5: the same way I did. She thinks she's making a 614 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 5: profound comment here, but I just don't think the logic 615 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 5: adds up. Even in Kamala Harris world. And bunch of you, 616 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 5: I bet have not heard this, But this is Kamala 617 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 5: Harris talking about frogs and boiling pots. 618 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 8: Listen, you know that old story about the two frogs 619 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 8: and the pots of water. Okay, so here, you're a 620 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 8: good storyteller, I'm gonna tell you a good story. So 621 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 8: two frogs and two pots of water. So in one 622 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 8: pot of water, you drop the frog in and you 623 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 8: slowly turn up the heat, and that frog will be like, oh, 624 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 8: it's getting ale warm. In here, and then that water 625 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 8: starts to boil, and that frog perishes, and the other 626 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 8: pot of water turn up the heat to the point 627 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 8: it's boiling. To drop the frog in it, they'll jump 628 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 8: right out. 629 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 2: Let's not be that first frog. I don't so the 630 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 2: announce just I don't know if you react to this 631 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 2: the same way as me. 632 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 7: Buck. 633 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 5: If she's trying to make a climate change argument, then 634 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 5: it seems to me the argument needs to be that 635 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 5: the climate becomes totally atrocious and will all be fine 636 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 5: because the second frog jumps out when it's super hot again, 637 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 5: following her logic, the first frog dies. 638 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 7: What am I like? 639 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 2: What am I crazy? 640 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 4: Like? 641 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 2: What do you take from that? Lesson? 642 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 7: Like? 643 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 5: As she's trying to be profound with this parable in 644 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 5: some way, Well, first of all, the boiled frog thing 645 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 5: is not It's not true. The frog will so just 646 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 5: just as if anyone's curious, it seemed likely if you 647 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 5: throw a frog in scalding water, it seems to me 648 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 5: that the frog would act. 649 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: The idea is that if you if you the frog 650 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: in the boiling pot, is this this you call it? 651 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: And if it's supposed to be metaphor or whatever, But 652 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: it's that if you turn it up. It's it's really 653 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: about incrementalism. If you turn up the heat slowly enough, 654 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: it won't know, and it'll boil alive. Think about that 655 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: for a second. That's that's not that's nonsense. At some point, 656 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: the senses of the frog are going to be it's 657 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: too hot in here. I gotta get like, think of 658 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: as you're a human being, Like, yes, you get me 659 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,239 Speaker 1: up to a certain temper. First of all, if it's 660 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: not like exactly what I need. If you ever see 661 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: me on radio and I start sweating profusely, it's because 662 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: it's gotten a little too warm in here. If I 663 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: can't sleep at night, it's because it's not cold enough. 664 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: Like I'm very temperature sensitive. But the frog and the 665 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: boiling pot, first of all, it's one I believe I've 666 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: never heard of the two frogs that I think she's 667 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: totally destroying the parable Yeah, well yeah, and beyond that, 668 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: the parable is is actually, scientifically speaking, nonsense. So is 669 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: the whole thing about lemmings. If anyone's curious, lemmings do 670 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: not commit suicide. People always challenge me in this, I'm like, no, 671 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: they think about that, they don't actually just go and 672 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: run off a cliff and there's a whole backstory behind 673 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: how that urban legend came to be. 674 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 2: But yeah, no, Kamala Clay the the you know, we've 675 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 2: returned to. This is a recurrent theme because of what's 676 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 2: going on in American politics right now. Kamala Harris is 677 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,280 Speaker 2: the reason the Democrats have disarrayed behind the scenes because easy, 678 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 2: easy answer to all of their problems is have the 679 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 2: stalwart vice president's step up. She is the part of 680 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 2: this for them that has failed to meet the expectations necessary, 681 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 2: and that is why they don't know what they're going 682 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 2: to do right now other than I think, you know, 683 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 2: it's just going to be the Biden by default. 684 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 5: But yeah, so it is so true because if we 685 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 5: had had this conversation in January of twenty twenty, I 686 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 5: think every single one of you would have thought, Okay, 687 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 5: Biden's going to do one term. Heck, I think when 688 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 5: the election was happening and no, his team buck debated 689 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 5: saying Joe Biden's only going to serve one term, but 690 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 5: they didn't want to say it because they were worried 691 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,919 Speaker 5: that it would handicap him in terms of being able 692 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 5: to get any of his agenda passed. If people said, well, 693 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 5: we can just wait till he moves on, she's so 694 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 5: bad that they genuinely thought, we're just going to pass 695 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 5: the baton to her for twenty twenty four. She won't 696 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 5: have a primary challenge. She'll be beloved, she'll be liked. 697 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 5: She's the avatar that we want the Democrat Party to 698 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 5: be representing because she's black and she's a woman. And 699 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 5: yet Joe Biden maybe the greatest political choice of his 700 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 5: career was to find the only vice president who's more 701 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 5: incompetent as a vice president than he is as a president. 702 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: Isn't that really on brand for Joe Biden? Tho when 703 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: you think about it, couldn't even get this one right, 704 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, and I Joe Biden is. It's a fascinating, 705 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: this fascinating dichotomy and thinking here, on the one hand, 706 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: you're like, this guy is president, so clearly he must 707 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: know something. And on the other hand, you think, you're so, well, 708 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: is it possible that there is a more ignorant and 709 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: incompetent politician at this level of American politics? 710 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,720 Speaker 5: You know, it's stunning that this guy is the president. 711 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 5: He's the worst president, and I think that, but certainly 712 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 5: in any of our lives. I mean, I think Jimmy 713 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 5: Carter at least was competent and intelligent and had a worldview. 714 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: Oh, Carter was smart, Carter was a patriot. He was 715 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: wrong on a lot of stuff. Yeah, he had bad 716 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: ideas on a bunch of things, but you know, he 717 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: wasn't an imbecile, and he certainly didn't have dementia. 718 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 5: And yet here we are as Biden watch continues. I 719 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 5: was hoping after last week, Buck, that there would be 720 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 5: more of a drum beat. We still haven't heard it. 721 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 5: I'm concerned that he's going to be the nominee, and 722 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 5: I just can't believe that it's going to happen. 723 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 2: I just can't more. Tomorrow, everybody Slade Travis and Buck 724 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 2: Sexton on the front lines of truth 725 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 8: Fo
