• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're ahead of the game just for being here.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: It's marks alone on sevent tenor.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Well, it's Friday Opening day at Yankee Stadium today, at
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: the big event every year. It's gonna be nice. It
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: should be nice later today, sun'll come out. It should
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: be nice tomorrow. It looks like rain on Easter Sunday.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: The Easter Parade takes place on Fifth Avenue forty ninth
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: to fifty seventh Street, but it looks like it'll rain
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: throughout the parade on Sunday. So Iran is claiming it's
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: shot down a US fighter jet and that the pilot
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: is missing. Now this has not been confirmed by anybody.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: This is Iran claiming. List They put out a picture
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: of the jet they shot down, saying it's an F
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: thirty five, but US officials looking at it say it's
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: clearly not. They can tell from the pieces it's an
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: F fifteen. And it should be pointed out Iran has
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: a history of claiming to have shot down the US
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: jets when they didn't, So we don't know if this
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: is real or not real. And again Iran has light
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: about it before. If it's true the pilot is missing,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Iran has said to their public. They will pay a
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: huge reward for anybody that can find the American pilot
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and turn him in. The US has launched a search
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: operation inside Iran. Now again. Iran has a history of
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: claiming to have shot down a US plane when they haven't.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: But I would imagine that our military knows where all
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: their planes are, and I would imagine they can tell
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: if they've lost a plane or not lost the plane.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: And they do say there is a search operation underway.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: So we'll keep on top of that for you. Tiger Woods. Well,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: he got permission to leave the country to go get treatment,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: big big rehabilitation, rehab tree and overseas, which will get
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: him out of the spotlight, he hopes for a long time.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: More and more coming out about at the scene. The
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: cops show up. They know immediately who he is, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: they talked to him. They're going to do some test,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: you know, you walk the line and all that kind
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: of stuff. But they asked him to wait in the
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: car while they go do some stuff. And apparently at
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: one point he got out of the car and started
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: wandering a little and he wandered down the road and
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: he picked you know, he's on his phone. He was
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: making some sort of a phone call, wandering down the
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: road away from them, making this phone call, and then
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: he wandered back, and as he got back towards the cops,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: they can hear him saying into the phone, well, thank
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you so much, all right, you got it. Bye, And
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: he then said to the cops, Wow, I was just
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: talking with the president.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Is that to impress the cops? I was just talking
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: to the President of the United States. That generally, I mean,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: it's impressive you're talking to the president of United States.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It's been a situation like that. It's more confusing the
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: cops now. They don't know whether you're lying, what to
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: think of you? Why are you telling him? This a
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: strange thing to say, really strange thing to say. But
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: if you look at outside of that, you look at
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: the bodycam footage, there's nothing really bad in there. At
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: one point where they put him in the car to
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: take them away, you can hear him say, this is fun,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: all right. I guess he's being sarcastic with himself. So
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: he wasn't drunk. He took a breathalyzer. There was no
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: alcohol in his system, so it's not like he was.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: You know, look really drunk. He did have trouble with
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: They give you this test. We got to walk a
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: straight line. Have you ever tried that?
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Go?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Try it totally sober. It's hard to do. He wasn't
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: good on the test, but those tests are very hard
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to do. It's really tough. But we won't hear much
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: He'll go overseas to some rehab center. I don't know
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: where it's going to be. He'll go away for months
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: and months. Who knows, maybe they'll never come back. But
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: he's going to try to just stay over there as
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: long as possible avoid this trial, which could send him
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: to jail. And when you're on your third or fourth efense,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: you most likely will go to jail. And then the
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: lawyers behind the scenes will try to try to work
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: out something. And we were talking about the ballroom before
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: President Trump. This was great. He was talking about no kings,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: they call me king. Now do you believe it? No King,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I'm such your king. I can't get a ballroom approved.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: So it is strange that he can't get this ballroom approved.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: It's a great idea. Presidents have always wanted the ballroom.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: It's kind of stupid that we don't have a place
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: to hold a big event at the White House. They
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: get if they do a big event, they got to
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: put a tent on the lawn, and it looks like
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: a cheesy wedding in Long Island. So the ballroom's a
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: good idea, and if you're going to do it, you
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: got it. You might as well do it when you
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: got the greatest ballroom builder in the world in the
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: White House.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: Part of his opinion.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Now the court rules against it and says he has
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: no authority to do it. But he's got a good
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: point here. It's not a government expense. If the government
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: we're paying for it. If he was going to use
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the government's money, maybe then you should get congressional approval.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: But there's no government money part of his opinion.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: But basically he's saying I need congressional approval, and.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: He's so wrong.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: This is being financed privately. It's a donation that's being
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: given by companies, very rich companies, very rich people. The
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: ballroom is a donation. It's gotten great reviews, people love it,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: and presidents for one hundred and fifty years have wanted
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: this ballroom to be built.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: So I guess the again it's a crazy left wing judge.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: He's got a bow tie on, he's got those bizarre eyebrows.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: He's a weird looking guy, left wing, you know, an
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: NPR listening ms NOW type of a judge. So he's
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: just out to stop President Trump from doing anything. But
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I guess the argument would be because the judge said,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: he's he doesn't own the White House, he's merely the steward.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: So in other words, if I guess, what he's saying is,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: if you rent an Airbnb, you don't have the right
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: to remodel the house while you're there, build an addition
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: onto it. It's not your house. I guess that's what
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: he said. But who says Congress has the right over
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: the White House? You know, it's supposed to be a
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: separation of powers, three branches of government. Why would the
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: legislative branch be allowed to determine what the executive branch does.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: The executive branch controls the White House, I guess, And
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: so the argument is to stop Now, there have been
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: plenty of changes to the White House without Congressional approval.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: You know who it was, it FDR. Somebody decided they
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: want a pool, so they took one room and built
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: a swimming pool right in the White House, big swimming
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: pool without congressional approval, and a lot of stuff happened
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: in that pool. That's where JFK had those two hookers
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: come and swa with him, Pixie and Dixie or whatever
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: their names were. That's where Lyndon Johnson would swim, you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: That's where Joe Biden would go swimming when he was
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I think when he was vice president or president he would,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: but he would. This is kind of disgusting. Joe Biden
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: would swim naked. And part of his secret Service detail
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: where female, and they hated looking at him naked. It
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: was awkward, it was inappropriate, and you see how shriveled
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: up he looks on the outside. When an old prune
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: can imagine having a look at Joe Biden naked swimming
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: in the pool. President Trump comes in and has no
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: use for a swimming pool, and he has it covered
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: up and he builds the press room was not very big.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: They didn't have a big press room, so he decides
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: to build a better one and they cover up the
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: pool and build it over the swimming pool. Now all
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: of this is without congressional approval. A lot of things
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: are done without congressional approval. You could argue, well, the
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: ballroom is different, it's so massive, it's almost the same,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: sie is the whole White House. It's such a big change.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: But again, if you're allowed to change stuff without congressional approval,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I think you'll win this in the end. He should
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: win this in the end. To see you'll get these
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: crazy judges. I mean's the kind of thing. I'll go
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to the Supreme Court and it'll probably come down to
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: executive branch can do this without congressional approval. It's their building.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Congress you know, changes things. Sometimes, they'll make a big
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: change in the Capitol building. They'll build something new, they'll
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: add a wing, they'll change the entrance. They'll do it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: They don't have to go get executive branch approval. They
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: don't have to get approval from the president. So it
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: should work both ways. So now, who would you say
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: if you ask Sharon Stone? Now, think of Sharon Stone.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: She's made a lot of movies with a lot of people.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: If you asked her who is the greatest kisser in Hollywood?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Who would she pick out of all her leading men?
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Sharon Stone, Well, she was asked that on Radio Andy
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: podcast yesterday. Without hesitation, she said, Robert de Niro. She said,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Robert de Niro the best kisser in the business. He
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: was the greatest kisser. Sharon Stone, now sixty eight, said,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: and Casino, there were a couple of scenes where the
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: kiss he gave her was unbelievable. It said he just
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: kissed her right out of her shoes. In fact, there
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: was one where the kiss was unbelievable. And then Scorsese said,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: that's good, that's good, or do you want to do
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: another text? She goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another text.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: She so, Hey, it's possible de Niro could be the
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: greatest kisser in how it's possible. Not the brightest guy
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: in the world. But he's now eighty two. No response
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: from him yet. She also did say he was an
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: actor that I admired the most. He was the actor
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I admired most and wanted to act with. So she
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: kind of idolized the guy. Sometimes the kiss is better
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: if it's a guy you happen to idolize. That can
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: make a big differen Hey, you're going to see crime
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: numbers coming down, mom. Donnie will take credit for that,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: and he deserves credit because he's figured out a way
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to bring the crime numbers down. Change the way you
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: count them, changed the system for counting them. It's like
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: the anti Semitic hate crimes. He brought the number down
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: by changing the way they count them. He used to
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: count them by whenever anybody calls nine to one one
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: because of an anti Semitic attack, that counts. Now he's
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: changed it too. There's a committee that will decide if
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: it was a hate crime or not, and they'll tell
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: you if it counts. Same thing with the crime statistics.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: You can change the way they count them, and that
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: can bring the number down. But that doesn't stop from
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: bragging about it.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Each of these numbers paint a picture of a safer,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: more welcoming city for our fellow New Yorkers, and they
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: tell a story that statistics can never fully capture. Countless
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: subway rides, evening walks, and trips to the park that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: ended exactly as they should have, boringly without incidents.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well again, Hey, the crime is pretty good for
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: if you're out there in the suburbs or out there
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: somewhere in America. You're listening to think, so it's too
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: dangerous to Most of Manhattan is very, very safe. There's
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: not a lot of crime here. There is a crime
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: in New York, but it's contained mostly in eight precincts.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: If you're in the middle of Manhattan, if you haven't
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: been here in years, and you come into right here
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: in Midtown and walk around, it's absolutely fine. Looks like
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: it looks like it always looked. Mom Donnie get into
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: a huge fight with the city council. We got really lucky.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: You get the craziest, most left wing kook of a
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: socialist mayor elected. We got really lucky that somehow the
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: city council. I mean, they're going to elect a Democrat
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: to be their speaker. It's always gonna be a Democrat.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: But we got really lucky. They picked a moderate, common
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: sense Democrat, Julie men and she has stood up to
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Mom Donnie on a lot of things. Mom Donnie wants
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: to go crazy raising taxes, raising property taxes. It's absolutely insane.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: All you do is lose people and you lose revenue.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Every time you raise tax and raised property tax, you'll
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: lose revenue. People leave. You know, if you were one
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: of these states, Texas, Florida, there's a lot of states
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: where they got rid of all the taxes, and all
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: of a sudden they take in twice as much money
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: because everybody starts moving there, business booms, the economy grows.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: But when he wanted to do this crazy tax raise
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: and he's got his army ready to go to albillion
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: push for it, city council speaker Julie Mennon stands up
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: to him and said, if you got a five billion
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: dollar deficit in your budget, which is out of one
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: hundred and twenty eight billion, you cut five billion and costs.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: You don't raise the taxes, that'll just make you lose money.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: You cut costs, and she proposed a whole bunch of
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: it's easy to do. Most of that budget is waist
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: fraud bloat. You could cut the budget in half easily
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: without cutting any services. It's just all the waste in fraud.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: So she proposed some minor cuts and he went nuts.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Mom Donnie made a video, a bunch of videos. That's
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: what he does best. He's not a management guy, doesn't
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: know how to run anything, but he's an Instagram guy.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: He's a TikTok guy. So he went out and made
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: videos attacking this, saying that it's a doomsday scenario. City
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: services would be cut. Everybody's going to starve to death.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: He put out all these videos and then she just
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: lashed out at him. This is deeply misleading, potentially harmful.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Even Democrats started to attack. Mom Donnie said, I thought
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: this would be different. I thought things would be better.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: So Mom Donnie got a hell of a backlash even
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: from Democrats for his crazy, over the top videos. And
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: even the Socialists aren't backing him on this, so that's
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: pretty good news. Even the socialists have attacked him on this. Now,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the mayor's videos he put up got two and a
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: half million views. That's pretty good. But a council source
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: also said, besides the backlash, Mom Donnie is burning a
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: lot of bridges with lawmakers. This is standard stuff. Budget
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: negotiation is pretty standard. You don't burn your bridges over this. Hey, Well,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two one
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three two
• 14:11

• 14:41

• 14:44
  Speaker 8: midterm election. It would think to lose it, but we
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: got to finish this thing in Iran. There's two important
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: principles at stake. Number one, we cannot let them have

• 15:23
  Speaker 5: I'm doing very well, Thank you. Mark.
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: In regard to restaurants, outside of the major holidays. I'm
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: wondering where is their main revenue center. I'd have to
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: guess it would be two things beside dishes because everything's
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: ala carte, and probably alcohol.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. Used to be alcohol. The profit margin
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: was much higher on alcohol than food. But that was
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: years ago. That was years ago. Once you once the
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: alcohol changed, you know, once there were like twenty seven
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: fancy vodkas and nine thousand different fancy dreams, the cost
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: went up. So the profit margins pretty similar are in
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: food or alcohol. So you can make just as much
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: money on food. Here's the thing, when you go to it,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: like a steakhouse today, because of the inflation and all
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: that stuff, a steak is a ridiculous price. You go
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: to a steakhouse, the steak could be eighty dollars, eighty
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: five dollars. It's unbelievable, and you think the restaurant's greedy.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: They're really not. That's how much they're paying for steak.
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: One of the reason it's not just inflation. One of
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: the reasons is there's a cattle shortage. So the restaurant,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: if you order an eighty five dollars steak, the restaurant
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: is probably not making any money, believe it or not.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: The cost on that steak is so high they're not
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: making any money. But if you order a side dish,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: if you order broccoli or spinach or mashed potatoes, that's
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: where they make a fortune because they'll charge you fifteen
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: dollars and the cost is like forty cents. So if
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: you go order the biggest steak on the menu, they're
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: not too thrilled with you. But if the person with
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: you doesn't order a main course and orders four side dishes,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: thrilled with that person, because that's now nowadays where all
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: the profit is. Let's go to Paul in Roslin, Long Island. Paul,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: how you doing good?
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Mark? How are you today?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I'm good. You got a great stake there. You got
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Hendrix's tavern there, right, you're right.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Just a question about a different subject. Have you watched
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: the JFK Junior Carolyn Pissett series ons Y recently?
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: And what do you think about it?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Well? I knew the guy, I didn't know her. I
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: knew him pretty well. It's not entirely accurate. It's very
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: well done, very well done. This were the locations. Everything
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: is very accurate. The acting is phenomenal, but they're leaving
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: out a lot of stuff. He was an incredible womanizer.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: He was, as people used to say, a hit it
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: and quit it kind of a guy. If he went
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: through millions of women. He was not the soft, sensitive
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: guy they portray. They left out that part of it. Also,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: he was ridiculously reckless and careless with his own life
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: in other people's life. So I come across to you
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: in that series.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, And the other thing I noticed is that the
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: amount of smoking that she did was incredible. She's basically
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: has a cigarette in her mouth in every scene.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but there was a lot of people back then,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: you know, you back then, everybody smoked everywhere in every restaurant.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Everybody's smoking. Go watch the The Tonight Show from nineteen
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: seventy three, Johnny smoking. Everybody's smoking. But that JFK. You know,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: if you look back at that plane crash to saying, oh,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: what a tragedy of the plane, it was the most
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: reckless thing in the world. Again, he was a daredevil
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: and reckless that plane, that flight. He wasn't qualified to
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: fly that flight. He wasn't certified to fly in low visibility.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: He had a broken foot that day, which meant he
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: couldn't work the pedals on the plane properly. No business
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: making that flight. He was so bad as a he'd
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: been a pilot for about twelve minutes and he's trying
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: to fly through fog over the ocean. He almost hit
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: an American Airlines jet and when he took off, he
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: just didn't know what he was doing. He flew into
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: the air quarridor of an American Airlines plane. Luckily they
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: were professional pilots and were able to evade him, but
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: otherwise he was just ridiculously reckless, killed his wife, killed
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: her sister. Just awful. Let's go to Chris and Bethpage, Chris,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: how you doing, Hey? Good? Mark?
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Just about JFK.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: They said it was so bad he thought he was
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: flying parallel to the water when he was actually flying
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: straight down into it. That's what the crash proved. So
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: that was just insane. Yeah, it was a horrible, horrible,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: reckless guy. And the National Transportation Safety Board report came
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: out totally blamed all of this him for everything. The
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: family of the wife used that report to sue the Kennedys,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: and they did get I think twenty million in a
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: settlement over it. Yeah, yeah, all right, thanks for Colin.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Let's go to Nolan in New Jersey. Nolan,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: how you doing well? Thanks?
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: I saw that Democratic governors like Mikey Sheryl they're going
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: to fight Trump on his new executive voter or on
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: mail in ballots that would require a post office to
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: only send ballots to eligible citizens. What could their argument
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: be against Trump on this?
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Oh? Well, they will fight Trump on anything and everything.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: If he says it's Friday, they will fight him on that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: They just fight Trump on anything. Listening to the words
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: of John Fetterman.
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: Who do you think leads the Democratic Party today?
• 20:28
  Speaker 11: Oh, we don't. We don't have one. I think the TDS.
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: I think that's the leader right now. You know, right
• 20:36
  Speaker 11: now our party is governed by the TDS.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Trump derangement syndrome. That's all they got. That's what consumes them,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: obsesses them. Twenty four to seven. Let's go to Vincent
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing, Good.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Morning, Marcom, Okay, good morning, Mara. I have to respectfully
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: disagree with Ed Rollins what he said about Trump's speech.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: I thought it was one of Trump's better speeches. It
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: was very concise. He hit all the bullet points. And
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: also because of the time difference between New York and
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: in the middle of the country, people were just sitting
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: down to have their dinner and they heard Trump's speech
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: and all the reasons why we're there, mainly to save
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: our children and grandchildren from those maniacs flying intercontinental missiles
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: into our cities and everything. And I think Trump is
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: going to win on this whole ballroom issue because, as
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: you pointed out a number of years ago, about twenty
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: years ago, I went to it and was very The
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: people had money and everything. They weren't cheesy. I went
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: to an outdoor wedding out in Long Island. They had
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: those tents and canopies, and when the sun went down,
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: the flies came out, the mosquitoes they were eating people alive.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: They were everywhere. I mean, uh, it was horrible. I mean,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: you want to compare that with in Europe and especially
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: in Italy and France when they have these state dinners
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: there there you are huge, huge ballrooms. You mongus uh,
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: beautiful palaces and everything, and you're gonna have people the
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: stupid judge in Washington. You're gonna have people going and
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: porter sands on the lawn where women wearing full length
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: gowns and heels and people dressed to the nine. What's
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: the matter with this judge just because he looks like
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: some pig from uh M, PR and PR and PBS
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: with that bow tie on, and it's all can't Donald
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Trump just ignore that order?
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Markets? Well, see he's gonna appeal. It'll go to another corney. Vincent,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: great call, thanks for calling Hill the Hill appeal. Yeah,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: that's another Vincent makes a great point there when you
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: the White House doing these massive dinners out on the
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: lawn in a tent. You're right in the summer, it's
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: too hot, it's too windy, it's raining, there's everywhere's ridiculous. Hey,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Steve Cuzo, the great New York Post columist, writes about
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: restaurants and real estate. How's New York doing? How's the
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: real estate situation? How's the restaurant? We'll get told of
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: that coming up next on seven to ten wo R.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: You're listening to Mark, Well, we're gonna get it. I
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: going to talk to Steve Cuso, the great New York
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Post writer. He writes about real estate. He writes about restaurants,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: and you know, all these people tell you everybody's leaving
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: New York, everybody's fleeing. New York is dying, it's empty,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: everybody's getting killed. Restaurants are Well, let's get to the
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: let's get to the expert and get the real story.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Here you can read Steve Cuso's columns in the New
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: York Post. They're all up on the New York Post website.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Steve Cuzo, how you doing?
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Mark, How are you doing?
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Very good? Now?
• 23:53
  Speaker 11: Uh?
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Go you go around New York. You're stuck in traffic.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Is the sidewalks the crowded.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: It's not dying, is it not exactly? Yeah, I hope
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: you guys can hear me. I'm downtown and there's like
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: all sorts of construction and traffic and yeah like that.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: That's another thing. These real estate guys are building like crazy.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: So obviously we have a good future, don't we.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I live on the Upper east Side, or as
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: I like to call it, the Upper Cheap Side, which
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: means First Avenue, and you know, first Avenue, second Avenue,
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: third Avenue, is like a building going up on every corner,
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: it seems.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Also, you got massive skyscrapers, real tall, but going
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: up Park Avenue in the fifty third this, yeah, fifty eighth.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: So everybody's investing in New York. And what about some
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: of these empty office buildings converting him to apartments? Is
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: that going to actually happen?
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's unbelievable. I mean, there are so
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: many buildings that are being converted to apartments now. When
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: this trend started some years ago, it was mostly you know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: these old, antiquated, beat up, old buildings down in the
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: you know, Wall Street area that they were antique, nobody
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: wanted them anymore. But now this has spread way uptown
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: all over Midtown. There are buildings that aren't even that
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: old that are being turned into apartments. For example, one
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: thirty five East fifty seventh Street, corner of Lexington Avenue.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: That's a modern, modern building. It went up in the
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: late eighties and it's being converted to apartments. So there's
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: plenty of that going on.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And these guys wouldn't do that if they didn't
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: have people demand. So and it's rental apartments are going
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: crazy right now, isn't that true?
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they're crazy. If everybody's complaining oh, you
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: can't get an apartment for less than four thousand a month. True,
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: true enough, to which I say, half tongue in cheek,
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: take a second job, you know, quit whining.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so hey, the dining. Outdoor dining began this week.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: They're allowed. Now are these sheds going to come back?
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: All over the side?
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: I've lost track of what's going on. They're back now.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: First of all, I haven't followed this that closely, but yeah,
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: they're sort of back, but not not that many restaurants
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: applied for the outdoor seating. Not nothing like you know
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago during COVID, and people haven't
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: applied for a number of reasons. You know, you need
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: all kinds of city approvals. There's all sorts of reasons why.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: First of all, the city will tie you up and
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: not you have to deal with nineteen different agencies. It's
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: supposed to be the Departiament of Transportation that's in charge,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: which it is, but they have to interact with the
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: you know, with the fire department, with the health department,
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: all these agencies. So there's a lot of hesitation on
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: the part of restaurant owners. They don't want to have
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: to go through this again. But meanwhile, you've got the
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Hospitality Alliance, my friend Andrew pushing for even more, you know,
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: and city council people want to have year round outdoor seating.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: I don't think we need that, but yeah, you'll be
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: seeing some of these. It's it's a moot point. Unless
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: the weather gets any better. It still feels like winter today.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: I don't care what the forecast said. And we're going
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: to Florida on Tuesday, and I can't wait to get
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: out of here.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Oh look, where are you going to Florida?
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Oh? The usual round, you know, the usual milk from
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and Miami Beach. Okay, three beaches.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Now, Palm Beach has got a million restaurants opening, but
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: they're all from New York. They're all from the Hamptons.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: They're all from the.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: Well, not all of them. The big place down there
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: now it's called Polo something, Polo Lounge.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Polo.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a guy that worked for it's a guy
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: that worked for Ralph Lauren. He gave him a permission
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: to use the Polo name down there.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Is that right?
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Anyway? I'm looking forward to going because everybody says it's
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: the hottest place. The food's great, YadA YadA, sol and
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: the watch. We'll get down there and the weather will stink.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: But when you travel, that's part of life.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Hey, Steve Kiso, you wrote this comeo. Certain food just
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: comes to New York, goes viral. It's a big deal.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: You wrote about sushi push Pops. Explain that.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: So there's a new place called Suka Sushi. It's a
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: little storefront. It's on Lexington Avenue in twenty fifth I think.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: And they have a gimmick. Everybody's got a gimmick.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: There's all sorts of weird things going on, and this
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: one is pop up sushi rolls. So you get a container.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: You get a cylindrical container containing the sushi rolls, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: there's a thin tube attached to it, like the tubes
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: that you take board with, that's filled with soy sauce.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: And you start by you're supposed to break the skinny
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: tube off from the big tube, and then you pry
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: the lid off the fifth tube, and then you pour
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: the soy sauce from the skinny tube into the thick
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: tube with the sushi rolls, and then you're supposed to
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: take the excuse me, the thin tube and stick it
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: into the bottom of the thick tube and push it up.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: And what happens is and I did a video about this.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: You can see it online on the New York Post website.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: You push up the sushi rolls, which actually taste pretty good,
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: and out they come on top. It looks ridiculous, and
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: it is ridiculous. And the big problem with it is
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: that I made a mess, and most people are going
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: to make a mess with it too. You've got to
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: be very nimble fingered to not to spill everything all
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: over yourself and to make it work. There are no chopsticks,
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: there are no utensils, so you basically have to eat
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: the damn thing with your mouth as you walk. It's
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: not like eating a hot clock or a slice of pizza.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: That's easy. We all do that. This is a new
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: level of you know, skilled that you need.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so good luck Wells. But there's a lot of
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: these things that come along. They go viral, they're great
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: for Instagram and TikTok, and then they're gone in a year.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: This will be yeah, it's all about TikTok.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, hey, what is this? Every restaurant now you know,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: used to have like a guy like Danielle would open
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Danielle Great restaurant, John George would open John George and
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: that was But nowadays every restaurant guy, no matter who
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: it is, has to have fifty places, seventy five places.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: What caused that trend, Well, it's been ongoing for years.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: A lot of people love restaurants all over the world.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: You have celebrity chefs and who may be great chefs like.
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: Excuse me, like Danielle Blue, and you have others who
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: are just big names even though they're not that good.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: And you have these companies. Very often it's Wall Street money,
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: hedge funds, guys like that want to invest in restaurants.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: It's fun. They see an opportunity to expand to a
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: whole bunch of cities, and if they can pull that off,
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: they can get very rich. The catch, of course, is
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: that just because a restaurant has the name of a
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: certain famous chef or a restaurant, you know, like a
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Carbone or whatever, doesn't mean that the places that have
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: that name in you know, in Hong Kong, ch Cargo,
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: wherever it may be, will be as good as the
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: ones that you know that started out in New York.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Also, if you got if you're a great restaurant guy,
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: a great chef, let's not mention any New York names.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Let's pick a foreign name. If you're Gordon Ramsay and
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: you got one restaurant in London, it's the greatest restaurant.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: You make sure it's a great. But once you have
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five restaurants, they all become kind
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: of mediocre because you can't keep an eye on everything.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean they make the pretense of, oh,
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: I'm always there, I come around every week, but that's
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: physically impossible. And again, some of them give a better
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: account of it than others. I've never been to a
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: Danielle Ballued restaurant anywhere that wasn't at least good. I've
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: never been to a restaurant that carries Jean George von
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Grrichton's name that isn't really good. So yeah, again, it's
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: up to what commitment the chef is willing and able
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: to make.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: But now, if you're John George, you spend all day
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: in a car driving from restaurant to restaurant to restaurant.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: You gotta go to thirty places a day.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: And they do in Manhattan, absolutely they do.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Well. Have a good trip in Florida. And are you're
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: going to Miami too? Right?
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna make the whole East coast, right.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: So I look at Miami restaurant's Instagram. They look spectacular.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Is food wise they're not any better than New York,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: are they?
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry? Which ones? Mark?
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Any all the top Miami restaurants they look spectacular, but
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: food wise.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: Some of them are. Some of them are really good.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: I mean I've been to not Carbone, but the other
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: restaurant owned by the same people, major food group in
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: Miami last year and it was just wonderful. It's an
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: Italian restaurant. I just can't remember the name. So you know,
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: with batteries and the restaurants in Las Vegas are mostly
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: all terrific.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, well, great stuff. Everybody reads Steve Cuzo
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: in the New York Post. His columns are all up
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: in the New York Post website. And Steve Cuzo, thanks
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: for being with us.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: Thanks Locke, always fun. Thank you.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: We'll take care now. Right over there, as you go
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: over to Seventh Avenue, there was Rosio Grady's. You remember
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: that it was a big, big, enormous saloon. It's like
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: the whole block long it was, and it closed. Everybody
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: was upset about that. It was a big place. So
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: apparently that's going to become a Serafina at the Italian restaurant,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: but not the regular Serafina, a concept kind of restaurant.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: And Michael Lomonico, the Great Chef, he had one of
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: the best steakhouses in Columbus Circle Time Warners Center. He's
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: going to run it. So that's great news. But you see,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: that's what I mean. The Monrosio Grady's closed, and that
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: was a big tourist place. Everything you see New York
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: is dying. It just well now it's about to reopen
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: as an even more incredible restaurant. So every time something closes,
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: something else opens. You got massive skyscrapers going up everywhere,
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: You got all the top restaurant guys opening everywhere. New
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: York is booming. All these real estate companies wouldn't be
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: buying up properties building skyscrapers if they didn't believe in
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: the in the future of New York. Hey, don't forget
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Curtis Lee. What is back? He's here now every morning
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: with Larry Minty. It's Curtis and Larry every morning six
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: to ten. Here on seven to ten wor.
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: News breaks out in every show, Mark Simone on seven
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: ten wor.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Well, you know the stock market, it's been up and
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: down and Mark Zuckerberg, there was one day the stock
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: market went way down. Was last Friday. I guess went
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: down five percent. Mark Zuckerberg that day lost twenty billion
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: dollars in one day and didn't even blink. It didn't
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: mean anything to him. You know, when you were worth
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: three hundred billion, he lost twenty billion in one day
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: and it meant absolutely nothing. So it'll all come back.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Stock market will come back bigger than ever. Hey. The
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: latest on Iran that the President has been briefed. Iran
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: claims it shot down an F fifteen Strike Eagle plane
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: and that they saw the pilot eject. So they're searching
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: for the pilot in Iran. They've offered a huge reward
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: to any Iranian that can find that pilot and turn
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: him in. The US has obviously launched a big search
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: operation to find him. Now. Iran has a history of
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: claiming to have shot down a plane when they didn't.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: But we're now hearing the President is being briefed on this,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: So I would assume it's true that a plane was
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: shot down, and I would assume the US can keep
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: track of all their planes. So it looks like it.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: It looks like it's turning out to be true, and
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: F fifteen has been shot down. They're looking for the
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: pilot as we speak now. As Ed Rollins on the
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: show was saying earlier, as soon as you start to
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: lose lives or they get a hostage or something, it
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: changes everything on this. So we'll see, we'll see what happens.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: We'll keep you posted with whatever we hear. Otherwise, Today's
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: a big day Yankee Stadium opening day today. That's great news.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: The way I know, it looks bad outside, the weather
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: will clear up. Kamala Harris is getting a lot of flax.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: She's announced to tour of the South North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Those are big important states for Democrats in an election.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: People in the democratic world upset. They think that means
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: she's going to try to run again. She was a
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: total disaster as a candidate. She was the worst vice
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: president ever. They want to get rid of her. They've
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: had enough of her. If she jumps back in the race,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: it just screws up everything. So a lot of Democrats
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: very very upset about this. Now, normally you're a former
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: vice president, you get a book deal, you get this deal,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: you go on and make a fortune. Look at Al Gore,
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: who became a weather profiteer with that climate change stuff,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: went out to make two three hundred million. She had
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: not been able to do that. So they're worried that
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: she'll get back in the race just looking for attention.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you get back in the race because those Democrats
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: they got a lot of big donors. And if you
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: get back in the race and they don't want you,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: they've got one of those big donors to give you
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: a huge, high paying job and buy you out of
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: the race. So that may be what she's up to. Hey,
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: we're out of time. I'll be back Monday ten to noon.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: And remember if you can't listen ten to noon, just
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: get the podcast. That way, you can listen anytime you want,
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: day or night. Remember, if you're a podcast listener, there's
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: an extra show every weekend. There's a bonus show for
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: the podcast listeners. So I'll see you Monday at ten
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: have a great weekend. Seven to ten Woo
