Here 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.360 is our toll free telephone number if you want to 0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:12.360 be a part of the program, eight hundred and nine 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:16.320 to four one Sean if you want to join us, Linda, 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.279 did you see the big article in the New York 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:23.160 Post today? It's all over online and you got the 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:27.000 concert kiss at a Cold Plate concert And there's a 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.000 huge couple and they're holding and they're all affectionate, and 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:33.159 they're living in the moment and they're hearing the music 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.479 and they're feeling it. And then all of a sudden 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:40.279 they get put up on the big jumbo tron inside 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.160 the I guess it was that with the Patriots play 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:49.680 Fox Stadium, Gillette Stadium is what they call it. And anyway, 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.760 and apparently they didn't want the world to know they 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.760 were together. I'm not making any inference at all whatsoever. 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:56.840 Did you happen to see that? 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:57.680 Yeah? 0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.959 I hadn't heard about it. It's so quiet about that 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.000 whole situation, all right, It's. 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:05.360 All it's everywhere online. You have seen it, and you 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.640 saw the cover of the New York Post today, and 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.920 you know exactly what I'm talking about. It was interesting 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:17.240 too that apparently the wife of the guy yeah, went 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.759 on to social media and Facebook and apparently deleted her 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.240 married name. According to Tim, I'm sure. 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.080 I'm sure she had a clue because she did that 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.440 with a quickness that wasn't even like a pause. She 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.679 was like, all right and we're done. I don't know 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.120 why he took her to a Coldplay concert. There's so many, 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.960 you know, dark, dingy restaurants that you can cheat on 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.280 your spouse, and won don't you do that? 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.280 You go to, know, a Coldplay concert for Maybe I'm 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.640 old fashioned, maybe you shouldn't be cheating in the first place, 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:44.240 just the thought. 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.600 Listen, you're an idealist and I love it. But I mean, 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.560 these people are obviously going to do it. I mean, 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.000 it's just unless they wanted to get caught. Maybe they did, 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:51.480 who knows. 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:57.120 House Republicans now have given final approval to President Trump's 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.880 request to claw back about nine billion dollars from public 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:06.560 broadcasting and foreign aid early Friday, as Republicans now are 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:12.240 intensifying their efforts to target these radical leftist institutions. By 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.680 the way, why are we spending nine billion of your 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.680 hard earned tax dollars on this. Anyway, Here's a poor 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.600 Humpty dumpty. I didn't even know he still existed, he said, 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.840 fake new CNN again. Anyway, he's back, Humpty Dumpty. I 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.200 thought they couldn't put him back together again. Apparently they 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:34.919 did temporarily, probably with some glue which may not last long. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.800 According to reports, CNN may not be around long anyway. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.240 Here's him complaining about it. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.200 This is the end of a publicly funded media era. 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.320 This dates back to the days of black and white television, 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.520 you know, back in the sixties Congress solid value for 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:51.720 PBS and MPR. 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.960 But no more, no more, that's right, And we have 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:59.720 plenty of propaganda left wing channel CBS, NBC, ABC, fake news, 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.480 although they may not existed in some time. And then 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.960 of course MSDNZ. Then you have the major newspapers New 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.440 York Times, Washington Post, and the list goes on and on. Anyway, 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.720 here to weigh in on this, and of course the 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.200 demise of Colbert, which we are very sad about, just kidding. 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.440 The betting odds are Jimmy Kimmel is next. These are 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.840 Hannity betting odds, not real ones. Carol Roth two times 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.120 New York Times best selling author You Will Own Nothing 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.760 and recovering investment banker. Our friend Mark Simone, host of 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.880 the number one New York Morning show, to talk about 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.360 this and so much more. Good to talk to you both, 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:45.520 Carol roth LOOPSI Daisy, I guess no more tax payer 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.640 dollars for MPR PBS. Why would we ever need it? 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.520 You hear about all these mergers and acquisitions that are 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.400 going on in media, all these cable networks that are 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.520 going under. You can't even give a lot of these 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:04.320 cable channels. They're not profitable. They're running fifteen year old 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.720 reruns of some dopey program that nobody really even watched 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.040 back in the day. So there's plenty of channels, there's 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.640 plenty of places. Why should taxpayers be paying for this? 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.480 And they have an agenda that's left wing? 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.160 Yeah, but techpairs should not be paying for it. And 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:24.039 you reference Humpty dumpty talking about nineteen sixties. It's not 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.760 the nineteen sixties anymore. Back in the nineteen sixties there 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.320 were a handful of channels and not much in the 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.280 way of programming, And now we have more programming than 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.560 we know what to do with. So certainly if there 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.920 is an audience for NPR, which it seems like there 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.480 is a robust audience, and certain shows that go on 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:46.120 to PBS, those can be funded just like every other 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.800 show in the free market, with advertising, with subscriptions. That's 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:51.280 what we do. 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:51.880 When we have. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.719 Things that people want, we don't need to use taxpayer 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.520 dollars to shove them down people's throats, particularly when they 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.480 end up being a propag under arm of the left wing. 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:06.120 Let's got your take, the great Mark Simon, sir well. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.720 The argument is that in the rural areas, that's where 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.960 they need NPR and PBS. First of all, I guarantee 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.560 you it's no rural farmers who want to listen to 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.200 some Trump bashing from some elitist New York broadcasters of 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.520 NPR PBS. O. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.000 Whoa, did I just hear mister New York You and 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.840 Curtis Leewa, mister the vote the tomb, mister new York's 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.640 New Yorkers, of all New Yorkers, Did I just hear 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.960 you trashing that that one greatest city in the entire world, 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.880 New York City, that the home that you love, the 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:41.200 home that you're never going to. 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.760 Leave, were the first we got conservatives. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.760 We got that's why, No, no, you really don't. You 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.840 don't have a lot of them. And the only way 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.400 Curtis and I hope Curtis wins is you're going to 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.919 have four Democrats splitting the vote equally. In that my 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:57.160 pave a path for him. 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.000 Curtis is going to win this time. Things have changed 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.800 here Mom, Donnie is thinking things are going to change. Hey, 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.400 the other PBS opportunities, they said, Sesame Street is so 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.719 important for kids. Sesame Street makes about a billion dollars 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.720 a year in merchandising, and all this it can more 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.440 to say for itself. It doesn't need any funding. 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.200 I mean, I think it's a good point. All right, 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:22.680 let's move to our friend. Stephen Coleberry made an announcement 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.719 about the Late Show last night. Here's what he said. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.000 Before we start the show, I want to let you 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.159 know something that I found out just last night. 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:33.240 Next year will be our last season. The network will 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:44.839 be ending the Late Show in May. And wow, what's 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:46.080 your reaction, Karl Roth? 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.320 Well, you know, Sean, when you have a comedy and 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.240 variety show where you bring back recurring guests like Stacy 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.800 Abrams four times and Adam Shipp and you have musical 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.720 numbers that feature dancing vaccines. I for one, am shocked 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.080 that that is not playing well with the core demographic. 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:09.600 This is a show that pup News reports cost more 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.000 than one hundred million dollars to make and has been 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.000 losing tens of millions of dollars for a long time. 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.360 So there are people out there who are going to 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.520 try to paint it as a political maneuver. But the 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.400 reality is that nobody wants to hear somebody who is 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.560 a left wing goold at them for hours on something 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.480 that's supposed to be comedy and variety. And so you know, 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:38.560 it's surprising that they haven't made this cut earlier, but 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.600 I think it certainly doesn't bode well for some of 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.559 Colbert's counterparts on the other network either. 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.320 I've been saying for some time Mark Simone that all 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:55.400 of these not funny so called comedy shows that they 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.680 were all on official cancelation Watch. And the reason it 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.280 was so so transparent to me is because I get 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.800 an opportunity that few people get every day, and that's 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:10.400 to look at ratings, and the shows have deteriorated to 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:15.400 numbers that are so spectacularly low that it's impossible to 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.760 justify two hundred employees and losing one hundred million dollars 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.600 a year using Carrol's numbers. And the show's bad, and 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.320 you can't make it any worse. They're not even good 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:27.680 at political commentary. 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.880 Now Gutfeld gets much bigger ras. You got. The whole 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.040 thing is fourt cheers and a staff at twelve. He 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:38.080 gets much bigger numbers. You know, when they created Late 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.319 Night in the nineteen fifty three Steve Allen started. The 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:45.120 idea was comedians entertainers. You have some laughs, you relax 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.600 before you go to sleep. Who was to get angry 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.520 and watch Adam shift before they go to sleep and 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:50.960 you're gonna have nightmares all night? 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:57.960 It's definitely. But Carson was funny, Jade Leno was funny. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.800 He wasn't really political. If he wanted to make another 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:05.160 Monoco Lewinsky joke, he would make it. These guys became 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:09.440 really hyper partisan. Now I could say in good humor, 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:14.280 like John Stewart, over the years has has has gone 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.600 after me, but I will tell you it makes me laugh. 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.480 There have been times that it had been rip roaring funny. 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.880 The same thing with Bill Maher. Bill Maher's torn me up, 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.240 but I laugh. At least they have some sense of 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.600 objectivity and they understand their mission is to make people laugh. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.840 When did they lose any sense of mission? Mark? 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.920 Well, first of all, to be funny, you got to 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:38.600 be like a kind of an every man like Jay 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.000 Leno or Johnny Carson or you know, you realize you're 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:47.000 a normal guy. But Colbert is this weird, elitist, to 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.840 smug New York sort of a guy. You know, for 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.680 the first nobody remembers this. His first year twenty fifteen, 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.480 he tried doing a comedy show just being funny, and 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.120 he was in the last place and close to cancelation. 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.040 Donald Trump came along and that's when he went total 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:06.079 Trump derangement syndrome. Turned it into MSNBC with jokes and 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.920 took off. But it wasn't a formula for the real 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:10.560 long run. Now it's killing them. 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:13.679 I didn't I don't think it killed them. 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:13.840 Now. 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.880 The big question I'll ask both of you, the same 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:20.079 question is who's next? I say, the odds are these 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.600 are Hannity odds eighty twenty. Kimmel is next? Carol? 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.400 Yeah, Well, first I've got to say, I think that 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.360 we're going to see Colbert do a podcast in a substack, 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.880 because that's a clear trajectory here. But I'm with you, Sean. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.200 I think that if you look at the ratings and 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.640 also just the general talent level, I think that Kimmel 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.239 certainly is the next of mine. 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:48.800 Mark Simone ninety five five, it's Kimmel. You can't cancel 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:53.240 the Tonight Show. That is the original. That's the whole thing. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.319 I hate to tell you. They already cut it back 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.600 to four days a week. I think they cancel on 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:58.640 the Tonight Show. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.360 May be able to do it one day at a time. 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.920 But the good thing about Fallon he can recover, he 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.120 can switch back to mainstream Comedy's a brilliant impression. This 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.679 great sketch to me, and I think deep down it 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.920 he'd rather just do comedy and be funny. He could 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.680 switch to that. Kimmel can't do it too angry. 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.160 I actually, I actually of the three of them, he's 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.679 the least political. But none of them come near Gottfeld 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:23.200 in my view. 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.560 Oh I mean Gutfeld. It's brilliant, it's fun, it's it's 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.920 what it's supposed to be, you know, And people don't 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:35.280 realize the idea that I mean, for Colbert, I have 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.000 one hundred and thirty million dollar budget, two hundred dollars staff. 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.959 It's the guy who preaches about income inequality. He's getting 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.320 twenty million a year. Everybody else is getting a dollar 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:49.000 fifty on the show, and he's lecturing America. I mean, 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.200 he just wasted more money. He should have seen it coming. 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.199 The budget was more than literally more than most Major 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:56.640 League Baseball teams. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.959 All right, quick break, right back more with Karra raw 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.360 Mark Simon on the other side. Your calls coming up 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.160 as well. Right down our toll free number. It is 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.840 eight hundred and nine to four one sean if you 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.559 want to be a part of the program. Whatever is 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.200 on your mind this Friday as we continue. All right, so, 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.520 I'm sure all of you saw this viral video of 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:21.760 this couple at Coldplay and the jumbo tron pans to 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.920 them and then lo and behold they're ducking and dodging 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:31.600 and diving away, and even the frontman of Coldplay, Chris Martin, goes, well, 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:37.120 either they're having an affair or they're very camera shy. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.240 I have no idea what was really going on, but 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.800 it certainly doesn't look good. And then the wife of 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:47.360 the guy on the jumbo tron apparently when on Facebook 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.800 and deleted or name. What's you take, Carol? 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.320 Yeah, first of all, Sonia, I come from the corporate 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.280 corporate America, and I never really knew what human resources did, 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:58.480 and now I think I haven't. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.240 You had no idea of all. This is a whole 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:03.199 new definition of it. 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.120 Yeah, I didn't know that was their function. But first 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.560 of all, it's a It's a perfect example. You should 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.079 not be doing the crime if you can't act cool 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.200 about it, if they pan to you. Them panicking is 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.960 really what created the viral moment. If they had just 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.280 played it off, she had done a twirl, they had danced, 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.600 I don't think it would have gone viral. But once 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.160 the Internet got a hold of that, they were undefeated. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:26.800 But I do have to say that, you know, the 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.440 downside of this is the you know, the people who 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:34.359 are innocent here, these spouses, the kids who may be involved, 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.280 who wanted no part of this. They're going through something 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:41.080 that's awful, and now you know their parents have become 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.560 an internet meme and their spouses have become an Internet meme. 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.319 And my heart really goes out because while we all 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.000 have a laugh at oh can you believe these people, 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.920 there are real people here who are getting hurt. And 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.520 I do feel very bad about that. 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.120 First of all, this CEO, he doesn't seem like a 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.720 great strategist. You're supposed it when you're cheating, go to 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.360 out of the way restaurant or a hotel, not a 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.480 mainstream concert with twenty you. 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.520 Are you an expert on this topic. I'm trying to 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:07.840 understand where that came from. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.440 I've heard some things about it, but you don't go 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.839 to a concert where twenty thousand of your friends and 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.280 neighbors are going to be and if the camera comes on, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.240 you smile and wave. If your wife says anything, always 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.239 like fifteen of us from the office went they just happened. 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.520 To he had her arms wrapped around or their hands 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:28.640 were inner locked and like very close to the chest area. 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:30.920 All right, I have a question mark when you fill 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.760 in on this show, and now we get a great 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:39.720 response when you do. Does Linda go m as a 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.520 sign of disapproval of something either you say or refuse 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:44.120 to say? 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.640 Are you saying? Was ever a time where Linda held 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.800 her tongue where she didn't say what she was thinking. 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.520 All right, Carol roth arkso bone, thank you both.

And since Tunnel to Towers was 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:33.200 founded in the aftermath aftermath of nine to eleven oh one, 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:37.320 the Ernst family is one of many that people like 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.320 you stepped up and helped.

All right, let us get 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.760 to our busy phones. Norman, he's in Long Island, New 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.080 y Walk. What's up, Norman? How are you, sir? How's 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.720 my old stomping rounds? Does it miss me at all? 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:30.359 We all miss the schean. 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:31.399 I'm good. 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:31.919 What's going on? 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.600 I agree with you, speaker. And yesterday on a talk show, 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.080 but I think it was buck Sexton show, they said, 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.960 let New York fall, so teach the Democrats a lesson. 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.560 I don't think that's a good idea. Biden said the 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:47.520 same thing, just a small incursion into Ukraine. Look at 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.640 the mess it's in. You never get back quite near. 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.360 I think New York has to be treated like the Alamo, 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.359 and you have to fight what the people in the 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:59.159 Alamo for it to win this battle to keep New 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.120 York the way it is. 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.400 New York is not the way it is. And you know, 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.399 I left officially out the door at the end of 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:12.679 twenty twenty two, and I'm just telling you it's not 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:17.119 the same. It is a change state. And I'm talking 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.920 about law and order, safety and security. I'm talking about 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.160 high taxes, I'm talking about burdensome regulation. I'm talking about 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:28.080 quality of life issues. I mean, things are deteriorating day 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.959 in and day out. And what's happened Norman Is companies, 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.359 every big Wall Street firm, private equity firm, banking institution, 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:41.440 other investment firms, they have all moved at least half 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:47.639 their operations to Florida. And when I say Wall Street South, 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.480 it is very, very real. And I know because I 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:52.840 have many friends that lived in New York and they're 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:56.440 much happier living in South Florida, where these companies are 0:19:56.480 --> 0:20:01.399 now building their headquarters and off this communist Marxist get selected. 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:03.879 I'm telling you there's never going to be any saving 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:05.040 New York City. It's over. 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.960 Well, that's what I'm saying. And that's why we have 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.600 to fight to keep New York at least halfway or 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.880 the way it is today, and improve it, not make 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.600 it worse. Otherwise it seems couldn't have spread, just like 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.840 the war in Russia. These guys never quit. They're just 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:22.680 going to keep on going and going and try to 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:23.760 flip other cities. 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:25.920 Well do you think it was wrong of the people, 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.320 and you can speak your mind freely here, wrong of 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:32.000 people like me to just throw up my hands and 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.520 say there's no hope and give up and go to 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.639 a place where frankly I was welcomed. I was not 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.760 welcome in New York. I mean there were many instances 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.359 I'd walk into a public place, I don't care if 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.639 it's a grocery store or a restaurant or something, and 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:48.720 I'd look or you read the room, and you see 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.879 nothing but discussed on people's faces because they don't like 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:55.760 my politics. It got to a point I didn't feel 0:20:55.800 --> 0:21:00.359 safe putting other people in a situation like that with me. 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:03.520 But you just don't want to surrender to these people. 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.199 And in surrender, I just realized that there's to me. 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.600 It's look, I will say this, I'm not sure what 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:11.960 part of Long Island are you in Nassar, Suffolk County. 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:17.480 Bruce Blakeman's doing a great job. Bruce Blakeman is doing 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:22.200 a great job. He really is. And maybe I'm being 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:27.399 too pessimistic. Maybe I don't know. I do hope for 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.320 the many friends, and I don't go up there very often, 0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:33.000 but occasionally I'll go up there. But for my many 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.560 friends that are up there for whatever reason, that like 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:38.719 to come visit me in the wintertime when it's freezing 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.800 up there and it's very nice weather down here, I 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:45.960 hope for their sake that enough New Yorkers would wake 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:50.680 the hell up and realize that their government is oppressing 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:55.560 them and they're failing spectacularly. They're not keeping people safe 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.320
