  Speaker 2: Is it that beautiful? That's nice? See I have a pimple.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I'm sixty one years old. I have a pimple right
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: now in the center of my head. I'd rather have that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I'd rather have what you have. I'm embarrassed. I'm sixty
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: one years old. I have this giant temple.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know why you get that? You get
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: that from It's either stress or some of the oils
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and stuff that you use when you do these amazing
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: paintings can lead to some acne. I guess I don't.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: You're right, it might be a little of it. It's
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: a little both, a little of both. Yeah. What's what's
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the saying? Is it? Is it easy times make weak men?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Is that? Is that the same?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Right, okay, well that's where we are right now. It's look,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I've studied long ago many things, and one of them
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: was survival, survival, how to survive in situations. And my
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: friends are left at me. Everybody met family, they make
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: fun of me. And then throughout the years things happened,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: like the hurricanes and nine to eleven and all sorts
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: of stuff where my survival instincts kicked in and it
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: keeps me alive. And it's nice to be prepared. I'm not,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you know, looking for the end of times, but I'm
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: prepared for it. I think that as bad as it is,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I think it has to get worse. It's going to
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: get worse. It must get worse. And you know, a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: lot of people, I think even you sometimes are like
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: that's it. Once it's over, it's over. It's like I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: always say, the forest needs to burn because when the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: forest burns down, what does it do sid it rejuvenates
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: itself back to its original self. Right, So we need
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: this chaos, we need it, We need this death and destruction. Now,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of weird to say, but even
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: if Cuomo would have won this piece of garbage and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: his whole plant, yeah, I almost say almost, meaning man
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Dandy and his crew of jew hating America, hating New York,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: hating wild, vicious, violent, destructive animals would have spent the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: next four years, say if Cuomo was here building and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: getting bigger and stronger, and then we would have absolutely
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: no chance to rejuvenate. So it is actually a good
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: thing that it is happening at this moment.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You know what, I agree with that. I I agree
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: with what you just said. First of all, Como would
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: not have been much better. I know he had experience,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and he's a better I guess he's a better person
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: than I'm Donnie would doesn't say heck of a lot.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But I think you're right. I think sometimes you know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you procrastinate because you don't want to get this something
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that's not great right away. When you do that, most
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of the time it's worse. So I think you just
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: nailed it. That's a great job, Scottie.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean look and with this port Captain James Wilson,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm like you, big cop supporter. It was
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: like six years ago when I painted that blue line
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: down Hiland Boulevard during the heat of when the punks
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: were throwing water on the cops and the Blasio was
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the scene. Hated the cops, and I painted that blue
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: line and he and he sent me a letter the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: next day from the city to remove it, cease it
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: desist or we be jailed and fine. And that blue
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: line I stood strong. It's still there as we speak.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I'm gonna re repainted, brighten
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: it up, and I want the mayor to know that
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I'm doing it, and I want him to try to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: stop me from supporting my police department.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Love.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I say that these cops go on strike. I know
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: it can't happen, but it is so bad. I just
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: want that to happen. Back to my original statement of
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: what there's no cops for twenty four hours, there would
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: be more death and destruction in this city. Needed to
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: straighten out those weak pussy ass men that voted for
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Man Dandy because they're spoiled. You know that, I know
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that they need a surviible situation to become the men
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that they secretly are. Every man is a man. I
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: don't care who you are, how you dress, how feminine
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you are. When the shit hits the fan and you
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: need to survive, your instincts kicked in and you change
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the way you are, you become a man. And that's
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: one of the po Those are the things that I
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: am happy. I'm happy that this is happening. I'm not
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: happy it's happening. I'm happy it's happening now said, So
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm feeling. I'm really feeling that let it burn,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you know, let guys like Griffin, let him take his stuff,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: take his business out of here. More people take it out,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: let it burn. Us soldiers will still be here, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: then all of these young folks will shopping up. They
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: will change their attitude and they will follow us and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: not follow us as a c we're cult leaders. We're
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: just righteous men. We're just men who see what's great
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: in our city, our community and our country. It's very simple.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: We ain't geniuses. People look up to us and they
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: praise us, and I hate that praise. I'm just a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: regular efing dude with a pair of balls who lives
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: in Staten Island happens to be very creative, but that's it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I am nothing more. And there's so many men out
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: there like us that need this survival situation to come around.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more on the point. Two minutes excellent ran
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: there by the way, Scotty, that's why people love you. Here.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Tell me about your trip to Ellis Island Saturday night immigration.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I got about two minutes.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just I haven't been there where. I'm
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: ashamed I haven't been there. I've been the statue limit
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: many times. It was a big event with Glenn Beck
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and the American Experience, Moms for Liberties, with that girl,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: my friend Alex Bawa, and it really was one of
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the most emotional moments of my life. I sat there
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and stood where my great grandparents' footprints stood at the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: exact spot where they were online coming to this country
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: for a better life, not for themselves but for me,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: And here I am display it. HM a beautiful painting
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: here at this place that they gave me this opportunity,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and they got slammed, they got humiliated as Sicilians Italians abused,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: but they worked hard, they assimilated, and they waved that
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: flag every day. And that patriotism is what made this country.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: And to see what's going on with people that come
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: here that cry and bitch and moan and spit and
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: sew and get violent and scream, and it's sickening that
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: we can't just have people come here. I would stand
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: down Ellis Island every day and hug every single human being,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: regardless of religious agenda, ethnicity that came here and assimilated
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: like my great grandparents ay, and I would personally welcome
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: them with a red, white and blue ley to wrap
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: around nan neck. But that's not happening and that needs
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to come back.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And when Scott says that he means it, I believe that.
• 7:32
