• 0:17
  Speaker 2: daylight saving time, only seventeen days until spring. It's practically here.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: No more cold weather. Yesterday was the last cold day.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: It's in the forties today, and then from now on fifties, sixties,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: and they'll even hit seventy and winter is gone. We'll
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: give you that all the latest we do, the latest
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: details on the war, exactly where we stand. We'll get
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: to Texas, what happened last night, We got to Epstein
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and those crazy hearings. We'll get to congestion pricing, We'll
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: get to We had lots to talk about today. So
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: let me just give you a war update. Now. You
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: got these crazy Democrats, Chuck Schumer and others. Schumer I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: watched him yesterday. He said Donald Trump and his endless war.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: It's four days yesterday, endless war. I don't think four
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: days is endless. But Schumer, you know, trying to. He's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: an old, washed up Willie Lohman, old washed up, old
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: fossil old dinosaur, sad sort of a guy now in
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the very end of his career, trying to look relevant.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: You know, he got bigger glasses. He had these glasses.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Now he got the really big mister McGoo glasses. Maybe
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that'll help. It's not helping, but every time people see him,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I think it really really helps Trump when you see
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: this old fossil try to attack things.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: America wants this president to pay attention to the problems
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: at home, not the problems overseas, particularly when no one
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: has any idea of what the real rationale is.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: It changes every hour.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Now, if Trump had launched some big thing at home,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Schumer would say, he's not paying attention to overseas. It's
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: just a ridiculous guy.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Which one is it, Donald Trump? Regime change, nuclear weapons, missiles,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: an imminent threat to the homeland, or a preemptive strike
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: to stop future attacks on the region.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the answer is yes, that's what it is. It's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: all of those things. I don't think he realizes what
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: he's doing. He's so old. He's like an old tired fighter.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You know, Boxer keeps missing every punch misses. He just
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: listed like nine reasons why you want to go do this.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Let me give you the latest down Iraq. Though here
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: this is right from the Pentagon all the latest. We
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: are originally talking about one week. Now they're talking about
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: three weeks, four weeks, maybe even five weeks. But the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: reason for the extension is we're doing much better than
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: we hoped. We didn't think it would be this easy. Now,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: remember you got the this has never happened before. You
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: get the two best militaries in the world, the US
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and Israel, and Israel is the most highly skilled military
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: in you could possibly have in the Middle East. Nobody
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: has better intelligence, better capabilities in a Middle East war.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: So the two militaries combining, working side by side, it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: an unbelievable powerful combination. So not only we've not only
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: taken out all their weapons capability, we're now taking out
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: all their manufacturing capability, so they won't be able to
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: bring anything back. We've taken out all the leaders We've
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: got all the top leadership, and now what they're going
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to do is go down the tiers each level, take
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: out each level of leadership all the way down. We've
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: taken out most of their weapons, ballistic missiles. They still
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: have some, but most of them have been taken out.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: They still have some drones, which are harder to get.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not, they were building them at a
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: very very fast pace. That was the problem. They were
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: building ballistic missiles drones at a very fast pace. We
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: have now taken out the factories that build them, so
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: they can't keep building. We've taken away seventy five percent
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of their defensive capabilities two days ago, we took out
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: fifty percent of the defense and oh, actually offensive capabilities.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: We've taken away seventy five percent of their offensive capabilities.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Defense is gone. Seventy five percent of their offensive capabilities gone.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Now when they fire those missiles, the reason one can
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: get through and hit Tel Aviv is they can send
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: so many at the same time. Now, what they want
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to do when they send a salvo of missiles, to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: send fifty fifty and one salvo. It's hard for that
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: iron dome to stop. Fifty at once. They were down
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to thirty, and even at thirty one could get through,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: So thirty at once it's very hard to stop. We've
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: taken out so much of their offensive capability. They're now
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: down to only two or three. That's all they can
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: send in one salvo, two or three missiles, which is
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: pretty harmless. The drones are being taken down, they do
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a little damage. Those are a little harder to take out.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: But we're getting it done. And as the Pentagon points out,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: we've lost six six of our military and we owe
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: it to them finished the job. It was a very
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: very very planned attack all of this. That's why it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: gone so well. That's they knew exactly what to hit.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: The Israeli Air Force just struck a top Iranian meeting.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: You know, at the beginning, they took out all of
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Tehran's senior clerics. They did it again yesterday, hit another
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: group of senior clerics. In fact, the group that was
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: there to select a replacement for the Aetola senior officials.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: They were there to do the vote and who to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: replace the Ietola. Israel hit that building and took them out.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: They called it the Assembly of Experts. It's a body
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of eighty eight members who got together to do this voting.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: The strike took them all out and wiped out the building.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Also in Iran. You know, you forget so busy with
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: all these other issues and the things Schumer just rattled off,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You forget the brutal oppression of women and other minorities.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: In Iran, women not allowed to do anything thing. You
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: have to keep covered up at all times. Well, women
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: were seen yesterday in Iran taking off their hijabs and
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: dancing openly in the street. They would have been killed
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: for that a week ago, but now they're doing it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: It's a great thing to see. The Iatola's son, the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: son of the Ayatola, was selected to how to replace him.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: He's fifty six. His name is Mujtaba ka Kama nny.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: He's the son of the Ayatola. They have selected him
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: to be the new leader. I would imagine his insurance
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: company immediately cancel his policy. How long would you give
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: this guy to live he's the new leader. I would
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: say one week tops that this guy will be alive.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: He's known as being a staunch advocate of his father's lunatic,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: hardline stuff. He has close ties to Iran's notoriously brutal
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Now, the thing is he had no
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: official role in his father's regime, but he was still
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: sanctioned by the US in twenty nineteen. The appointment is
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: actually unexpected. Again, he had no role. It's like the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: like Michael Corleon, who was not part of the stuff,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden getting the leadership. And in Iran,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: they've always looked down on family succession. These Ayah Toolus.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It's one thing they were against, is this family succession,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: because that's what happened with the Shaw of Iran and
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: all that, and that was the monarchy they toppled. Democrats
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: are trying to attack this thing like crazy, and they
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: don't know what to do, so they're actually resorting to
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: this old thing from one hundred years ago where they
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: do this you never served, you never served. For instance,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: that guy that writes south Park that crazy whack up
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: now demanding Baron Trump be drafted to war. This is
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: they did this in the Gulf War. Remember this is
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: like from twenty years ago. If you didn't serve, you're
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: not allowed to go to war. And if you go
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to war, you better have your family. It's ridiculous. First
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: of all, we don't have a draft anymore. Second of all,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: if you talk to Pentagon officials from any of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: last four administrations, they'll tell you they do not want
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to draft anybody. It's not like the old days. You know,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the Vietnam you were just looking for infantry guys to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: march around with rifles. Today's armed forces are so high tech,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: so computerized, that draftees are useless. You need people to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: go through like a year or two of training. Drafting
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: people doesn't work anymore. That's why they don't do it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: But you got this stuff going on. Rachel Maddow last
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: night going after Trump for not serving. He didn't serve,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: called them a bone spurs. Remember that was his thing
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: about not serving, that he had bone spurs. You know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: for four years we had President Joe Biden, who never served,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: who claimed he had asthma and that's why he couldn't serve.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: If you read his five hundred page biography of his
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: old life, there's not a word in there about asthma. Suddenly,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: when it was draft time he had asthma. Joe Biden
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: got I think eight student defirm. It's more than Trump.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: But they've gone in the attic and gotten this old
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: old argument out of the closet about he didn't serve,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: he didn't serve. Remember the great election of two thousand
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: and four, it was John Kerry against George Bush, and
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Carrie had been in the military. He had been in Vietnam,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: so he used that as his campaign I served, He
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: didn't serve. I served. But as it got to close
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to the election, if people start to look at this
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: as a wit a minute, Carrie served like twenty six
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: years ago. Thirty years ago, he was in the thirty
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: years ago, he was in the army or the navy
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: for a couple of months. And he commanded a boat
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: with eight people on it. And that's a service thirty
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: years ago. And then I looked at Bush. The guy's
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: been the commander in chief of the entire US military
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: for the last four years. I think that counts as
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: more service than Carrie. President Trump spoke yesterday about the war.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: They no longer have air protection, They no longer have
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: any detection facilities at all left, and so they're gonna
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: have they're going to be in.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: For a lot of hurt.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the air Force is gone, their navy is completely gone.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Most of the people we had in mind are dead.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: So you know, we had some in mind from that
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: group that is is dead, and now we have another group.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: They may be dead also based on reports. So I
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: guess you have a third wave of coming in.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, who's going to take over.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: With amazingly, they're hitting countries that were.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: No Actually, and this was a big mistake from Iran.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: From the beginning, they started attacking everybody in the Middle East,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Dubai and Saudi Arabia, these are their only possible allies
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: them immediately by attacking them.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Amazingly, they're hitting countries that were you know, let's call
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: them neutral, right, they lived together.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: For a long time.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: They I think they were surprised. I was surprised, I think.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: And now those countries are all fighting against them and
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: fighting strongly against them. Yeah, we were having negotiations with
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: these lunatics and it was my opinion that they were
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: going to attack first. They were going to attack if
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: we didn't do it, they were going to attack first.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: I fell strongly about that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: The keyword there is lunatics. You got to remember they
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: were a bunch of lunatics. The Ayatola a lunatic, his
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: son a lunatic. All those people run things a lunatic.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Now this was pretty interesting. He asked them, well, what
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: if this is all over, it'll be over soon. What's
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the worst possible outcome.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: I guess the worst case would be we do this
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: and then somebody takes over who's as bad as the
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: previous person, Right, that could happen.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: We don't want that to happen. Yeah, that's a pretty
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: honest answer. Now, you got to remember, you know, Democrats
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: do what they always do. If a Republican does a
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: bombing thing, they all start to yell it's a violation,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: it's illegal. You violated this, You violated that. You got
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to get the war powers that. None of this is
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: true legally, constitutionally, none of that's true. It's just nonsense.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: You got to remember Barack Obama was twenty eleven, did
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the same thing in Libya. He wanted to take out Kadafi.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Rebels were rising up. We wanted to help the rebels.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: So Obama launched the same sort of attack bombing Libya.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Every Democrat immediately put out a statement, thank God for
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: his device decisive action. Look at how great he is. Decisive,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: he's acting, Look at him protecting the free. There's just
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: exact opposite of today. That's one thing about these democrats
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: they have they have no shame. They could tell you
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: one thing an hour later, if Trump does it, they'll
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: tell you how awful it is. It's the most disgusting
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: thing in the world. Yeah, but you were just for
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: it for the last ten years. They couldn't care less.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: They'll say anything everything Trump does, closing the border, deporting illegals,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: getting rid of the show. This is everything the Democrats
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: have been promising to do for thirty years. All they
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: did was promise this stuff, and they're furious that somebody
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: actually did it now for two reasons, One because it's
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Trump and they hate him. And two, if you get this,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: if they don't have a campaign issue anymore. Now, Hey,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: speaking of campaigns, Texas, Jasmine Crockett lost lost badly in
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the runoff. There new guy, this is the new hotshot Democrat,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Tall Rico. He's only thirty six. Wiped out Jasmine crocket
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and a typical Democrat. You know, if you say the
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: election was rigged, you should immediately be arrested and go
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: to jail, just like Trump. Now she's saying the election
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: was rigged. It was rigged. However, she was crying voter suppression.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: There was a court ruling about keeping the polls open
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: a little later voter suppression or closing the polls early
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: voter suppression. Although everybody's looking at the number she got
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: wiped out by a huge amount. There's no amount of
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: suppression or tamper, and there's no amount that could have
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: made up this gap. She was just completely wiped out.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Now the thing is Tall Rico. This is the new
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: hotshot Democrat. Remember this is the guy Colbert wanted to
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: have on and the Democrats said, you can't have You
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: gotta have both on. You can't have just one on.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: So Tall Rico one big with Hispanics. That's a big
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: thing because Democrats had completely lost Hispanic voters. So in
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the general election, this is encouraging Democrats because he did
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: so well with Hispanics. Maybe maybe he's got a shot
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: in Texas. Anyway, we'll get back to the war, We'll
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: get to Epstein, We'll get to congestion pricing. Hey, big
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: announcement this morning. Curtis Sliwa will become part of the
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Morning Show. He will be the co host of the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Morning Show starting Monday. We waste no time. Monday, It'll
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: be Curtis Sliwa and Larry Ment. You remember Curtis, for many,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: many many years had the number one morning show in
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: New York City. He and another guy. But this time
• 14:47

• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Monday six to ten am. Curtis was on this morning.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: This is big.
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: I am coming to the oldest talk radio station continuously
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: running in New York City and the best talk radio station.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: So it doesn't get any better than that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: Joining with you, Larry and the crew there at woor.
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: I come back to what people have been asking me
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: to do ever since I lost the election on November four,
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: A lot of people have said, when are you getting back,
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: When are you getting back to talk radio?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Well, Monday, Monday. Right here you can hear Curtis six
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: to ten starting Monday. That's great news. And yeah, we're
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: actually the oldest talk radio station in America. Actually talk
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: radio started here. This is the station that invented and
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: originated talk radio one hundred it's one hundred and three
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: hundred and four years ago, I think one hundred and
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: four years ago. One hundred and four years ago invented
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: talk radio here. Then in the nineteen forties, one of
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the talk show hosts, a young guy named Barry Gray.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Nobody had ever done this for it before. He put
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: a phone call on the air. It was very primitive
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: back then. Almost had to hold the phone up to
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the microphone you could barely hear the caller. But he
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: was the first one to put a caller on the air,
• 16:09

• 17:57
  Speaker 9: Curtis is coming back. And you know, I've been listening
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: to I'm eighty seven years old, perfect and I've been
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: listening to w R since I was a child, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: the Gamblings and what have you. And I am so
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: disgusted with that radio station up to Dive.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, they're all nice people up there.
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: They are not all nice people and they are and
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: to stab Curtis in the back and have people like
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: Anthony Wiener on and Andrew Cuomo.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Is Anthony Waiters. Anthony Wiener is not there anymore, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't bet on Cuomo being there much. I don't know.
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well you know the insights.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know any I have no insight school.

• 18:44
  Speaker 2: lasting too long. But thanks for calling. Glad you're happy
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Curtis is coming. Hey, speaking a Wiener, Anthony Wiener, he
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: was on the view acting like he wants to make
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: a comeback. Anthony Wiener, the whack job pervert was on
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: the view, and it looked like to me, it looked
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: like he's getting ready to run for something. Hey. Remember,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Wiener is like a cross between Bill de Blasio and
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein, like a really left wing horrible, terrible, terrible
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: left wing kook politician and a total underage women pervert
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: kind of guy. Now, they did confront him about his past.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: He went on and this whole speech about it was
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: because of addiction and he's a changed man, and he
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: was asking New Yorkers trust him at the ballot box,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: saying he's taken accountability and moved on. So just a warning,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: just a warning, this creepy pervert maybe trying to make
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a comeback. Let's go to Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: Hey, Mark, carry you. I just want to mention that
• 19:46
  Speaker 10: Reagan hit Quadaffi in nineteen eighty six after that nightclub bombing. Yeah,
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: and after that, Kudaffi had been very quiet, very silent.
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: He wasn't really a threat after that. And when Obama
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: hit him and basically killed him, the Democrats didn't say anything.
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: But Kadaffi had had gone underground. He was afraid of
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: America after that, so so they hit on Kadaffi by
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: Obama really to me was kind of senseless.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: And the other thing I want to mention was John
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: Kerry was actually in the service like fifty seven years ago.
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: Vietnam ended April.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Thirtieth, fove okay, but when he ran it was two
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: thousand and four.
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: So that would have been yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And
• 20:26
  Speaker 11: his third Purple Heart got him out of Vietnam, and
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: that one as Vietnam vets pretty much know that he
• 20:32
  Speaker 11: did that to himself to get him out of there.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Well as the great John McCain said, Kerrie got three
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: purple hearts without ever spending a single minute in sick base.
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: That was not a John McCain fan, but that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Is actually a Yeah, McCain said.
• 20:49
  Speaker 12: He supposedly yeah, well, he supposedly said threw his medals
• 20:52
  Speaker 12: over the White House fence, and we can't stand him
• 20:56
  Speaker 12: as much as we can't stand Hanoi.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Jane, Yeah, all right, Stuart, thanks for yeah, McCain said,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: to carry was obviously just a metal chaser. And the
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: reason why that third one, when you got three, you
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: got to you got to go home. Let's go to
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Jerry and Greenwich. Jerry, how you doing.
• 21:11
  Speaker 13: I'm doing it very well. Thank you for taking my call.
• 21:13
  Speaker 14: Mark.
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: I would like to know if you're Truck Schumann and company,
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: then they realize what Crump did. That many millions and
• 21:21
  Speaker 13: millions of a Medican life saved in New York to Washington, Philadelphia, Boster.
• 21:28
  Speaker 13: You know, I think they we've all been wipe it
• 21:29
  Speaker 13: out of the earth.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, that's why they got That's why Schumer got
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: so mad. You know, listen, this could be a big
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: thing politically. It could be great for Trump. It could
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: make them look good. That's why Schumer gets so upset.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: They don't want Trump to succeed on anything. Ever, let's
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: go to Dan and Queens. Dan, how you doing, Hi, Mark? Yes, Dan.
• 21:48
  Speaker 15: I'm sure your audience, and I'm one of them, has noticed.
• 21:52
  Speaker 15: You've helped a lot of your fellow radio people. You
• 21:55
  Speaker 15: had Joe Concher, Curtis and Lionel all on your show.
• 22:02
  Speaker 15: Now they all have gigs.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Well wait wait wait, wait wait wait hanging out. Lionel
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: had plenty of jobs long before he was on this show.
• 22:09
  Speaker 15: Lionel was yeah, but now he's got a permanent more
• 22:11
  Speaker 15: non ag.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I think you're forgetting Lionel was the morning host on
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the other station for years. Lionel was on Channel eleven
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: for years. Lionel was on a million Lionel had quite
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: a career. That's the reason I was a guest. He
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: was a well known radio guy then, and it was
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Joe Kancha had a million, million, million jobs before he
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: was ever on here.
• 22:33
  Speaker 15: My question to you is, when are you going to
• 22:35
  Speaker 15: get a culton, When are you going to use your
• 22:36
  Speaker 15: influence to get Anne on the view to battle those shrews.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: She's been on the View plenty of.
• 22:41
  Speaker 15: Times as a permanent host.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: They don't don't think I don't think she wants to
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: be a permanent host on the View. Uh, it doesn't
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: mean anything to be on the View anymore. It doesn't
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: mean a thing at all. More people hear on this show,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: then we'll see her on the View. Uh, you know,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: the View is just it's a it's a tiny, tiny,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: tiny audience for network TV nowadays. Hey, when we come back,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the great, the brilliant Steve Forbes will be with us next.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Let's see what he thinks about all of this, coming
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: up on seven to ten wrly.
• 23:10
  Speaker 16: Elisha on sevent ten WR, Well, we like to bring
• 23:15
  Speaker 16: you the smartest people on earth, Steve Forbes, chairman of
• 23:18
  Speaker 16: Forbes Media, that you should be reading, subscribe to, and
• 23:21
  Speaker 16: take great advantage of.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Also the author of a very important book. I urge
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: you to get this book Inflation. No better book on
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the subject. Steve Forbes' book is an Amazon. Steve Forbes,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 23:34
  Speaker 14: Doing fine? Thanks? Enjoying not a heat wave but at
• 23:40
  Speaker 14: least not single digit temperatures. Yeah no, that's going to
• 23:44
  Speaker 14: be grateful. And also seeing what's happening in Florida and Arizona,
• 23:51
  Speaker 14: waiting for a few weeks for those magic words play ball, baseball.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's only a couple of weeks away. Spring training
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: is underway. Yes, hey, let me ask you about this
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: crazy Chuck Schumer. Yesterday he said Trump and his endless war?
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Can you really say endless war? On day four?
• 24:12
  Speaker 14: Just sos? They have their own definition of the calendar. Now,
• 24:17
  Speaker 14: the Republicans are having great glee and digging up that
• 24:22
  Speaker 14: twenty eleven thing from Nancy Pelosi when Barack Obama bombed
• 24:26
  Speaker 14: Libya and the reporter asked her, does that mean that
• 24:32
  Speaker 14: Congress doesn't need to approve this? And she said, that's right,
• 24:36
  Speaker 14: Congress doesn't need to approve it. Then they played it
• 24:38
  Speaker 14: for the Democrat leader yesterday and he just could smirk
• 24:42
  Speaker 14: and say, the circumstances are different. What a profound observation. Yes,
• 24:46
  Speaker 14: Libya is not your ant Oh boy, he learned his geography. Well, so, yes,
• 24:51
  Speaker 14: four days is a forever war? Ten years nasty?
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, Now what about all the all the media Democrats
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: are telling you, Dan, this is it. Gas prices, oil prices,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: energy will go crazy. We're going to be in terrible
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: trouble of the economy. As a result. What's the truth.
• 25:11
  Speaker 14: The truth is, you could get a spike, but we've
• 25:15
  Speaker 14: had oil spikes bigger than the ones we've experienced now,
• 25:19
  Speaker 14: and the markets sort of know, which is why the
• 25:21
  Speaker 14: stock market always wobbly when you have these uncertainties, but
• 25:25
  Speaker 14: still holding up fairly well. Knows that won the war.
• 25:29
  Speaker 14: This war is not forever. It's a matter of weeks,
• 25:32
  Speaker 14: not years, and that disruptions there may be straight of Hormuz,
• 25:36
  Speaker 14: who knows what will happen there, especially with insurance rates,
• 25:40
  Speaker 14: But these are temporary. These are not permanent. And the
• 25:43
  Speaker 14: real danger is not what's going to happen in the
• 25:47
  Speaker 14: next four or five weeks. That's going to be dicey,
• 25:50
  Speaker 14: but what the Federal Reserve might do, thinking, oh, this
• 25:53
  Speaker 14: is going to raise the inflation rate of inflation and
• 25:56
  Speaker 14: do something dumb like not cut interest rates. So that
• 26:00
  Speaker 14: that's what I worry about, is misinterpreting what's happening. This
• 26:04
  Speaker 14: war will not last more than four weeks, five weeks,
• 26:06
  Speaker 14: six weeks. And by the way, there's growing pressure not
• 26:10
  Speaker 14: to send US troops in, but to start arming militias
• 26:13
  Speaker 14: of Iranians so they can deal with this inside. And
• 26:17
  Speaker 14: by bombing the police and the military. These citis armed
• 26:22
  Speaker 14: citizens can take over. You know, we had a citizen's
• 26:26
  Speaker 14: army in our revolution. These things can work.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. So hey, these New York politicians, especially
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the Assembly, now they're talking about a twenty five percent
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: surcharged tax on corporations and your mom, Donnie, was a
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: tax on corporations increase. Isn't that the same thing as
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: a tariff? I thought they hate tariffs.
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: Well, it's a matter what you call it, and so,
• 26:53
  Speaker 14: but it is. It is a tax, and maybe they
• 26:56
  Speaker 14: should call it a tariff center But anyway, it's a
• 27:02
  Speaker 14: dumb thing going to hurt the economy of a New
• 27:04
  Speaker 14: York economy. They're already sneaking in things like vastly increasing
• 27:08
  Speaker 14: their pension costs and the like. And as we all know,
• 27:12
  Speaker 14: New York City's budget alone, the city's budget alone is
• 27:15
  Speaker 14: bigger than the state of Florida, even though Florida has
• 27:18
  Speaker 14: almost three times as many people as New York. Florida
• 27:22
  Speaker 14: gets by with a smaller budget than New York City.
• 27:26
  Speaker 14: And last I look, we don't have we're actually wandering
• 27:28
  Speaker 14: around Florida the way they do in New York City,
• 27:32
  Speaker 14: and people seem to be doing all right. We don't
• 27:34
  Speaker 14: have people dying in the streets or anything like that.
• 27:38
  Speaker 14: So yes, it's just another self destructive move. And I
• 27:42
  Speaker 14: just hope with this year's election that we finally get
• 27:45
  Speaker 14: a governor who realizes you want to have businesses grow,
• 27:49
  Speaker 14: not destroyed.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let me ask you an inflation question. Maybe it's
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: a stupid question, but you get inflation, the prices go up,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: and then if you solve the problem, you stop the inflation,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: but you never get the prices to go down. Correct.
• 28:04
  Speaker 14: Well, you can get when costs go up, Yeah, they
• 28:07
  Speaker 14: get it embedded. But with the spikes that we see,
• 28:11
  Speaker 14: the spikes that we see now in oil, that is
• 28:15
  Speaker 14: very though. Gasoline prices and certain food prices are very sensitive,
• 28:18
  Speaker 14: so they can go up, but we also know they
• 28:20
  Speaker 14: can go down. Going back to a year, you know,
• 28:24
  Speaker 14: centuries ago and Joe Biden was allegedly president, we all
• 28:28
  Speaker 14: know what happened to gas prices and even though they're
• 28:30
  Speaker 14: spiking now, still way below than when Donald Trump took
• 28:34
  Speaker 14: office for a second term. So these things will sort
• 28:38
  Speaker 14: themselves out. And the key thing is not the panic.
• 28:41
  Speaker 14: See this thing through and the oil price, the markets
• 28:45
  Speaker 14: will readjust and remember we're a big oil producer, We're
• 28:48
  Speaker 14: a big natural gas producer. So it's Venezuela and so
• 28:54
  Speaker 14: and Iran when it gets a new government, which eventually
• 28:57
  Speaker 14: will is also a major oil producer. And one of
• 29:00
  Speaker 14: the things that a new Iranian government is not going
• 29:02
  Speaker 14: to do is so discounted oil to a country called China.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Now, if you get the right government there, you could
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: really increase the flow of oil we have. That would
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: really bring the prices down. But what about our relationship
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: with Saudi Do you think we have to make some
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: kind of agreement them not to drop the price too much.
• 29:23
  Speaker 14: Well, I think the Saudis wants stability and one of
• 29:26
  Speaker 14: the things that they've worked on is is to make
• 29:30
  Speaker 14: sure oil didn't spike. And also they want stability, so
• 29:38
  Speaker 14: they don't want it to go too low, but they
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: don't want it to go too high because then they
• 29:42
  Speaker 14: know that leads to all sorts of cheating and bring
• 29:45
  Speaker 14: a new supply on. So they want control. They don't
• 29:49
  Speaker 14: have the kind of control they had in the past
• 29:51
  Speaker 14: by a long shot. But the thing is in terms
• 29:56
  Speaker 14: of the war, and I think the markets recognize this. Again,
• 30:00
  Speaker 14: these are temporary disruptions. These are not four year, six
• 30:03
  Speaker 14: year disruptions. These are four weeks, six weeks, pick a number,
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: But they're not forever disruptions.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, let me ask you one more question AI.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Five years from now, how are we going to feel
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: about AI? A We're going to think it's a wonderful
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: thing and it worked out perfectly. Or are we going
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: to be furious that hundreds of tens of millions of
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: people got laid off?
• 30:25
  Speaker 14: Well, I think we're well with AI. It's like anything
• 30:31
  Speaker 14: can be used for good or for evil. But I
• 30:33
  Speaker 14: think if we have the right kind of economy, I e.
• 30:38
  Speaker 14: Continue to reduce regulations in the like I hope President
• 30:41
  Speaker 14: Trump goes for another tax cut and so you get
• 30:45
  Speaker 14: a booming economy. We'll cope with the disruptions of AI.
• 30:48
  Speaker 14: You know, I live through it in the print industry.
• 30:51
  Speaker 14: You know, the print industry is upended in the nineteen
• 30:54
  Speaker 14: nineties by the Internet and so huge adjustments there. But
• 30:59
  Speaker 14: in a free econom me, you go with it and
• 31:01
  Speaker 14: we all end up more prosperous. And I think I've mentioned.
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: That with AI.
• 31:06
  Speaker 14: Whoever invented that name artificial intelligence should be shunned. We
• 31:12
  Speaker 14: don't call we don't call cars artificial horses, and we
• 31:15
  Speaker 14: don't call airplanes artificial birds. My friend Mark Mills made
• 31:19
  Speaker 14: that observation. And by the way, and in closing on that,
• 31:24
  Speaker 14: over two hundred and twenty years ago, there was great
• 31:26
  Speaker 14: fears of this thing called electricity, and you had medical
• 31:29
  Speaker 14: students taking cadavers and you know, giving them jolts of electricity,
• 31:34
  Speaker 14: and the bodies bounced around. Everyone's wondering, good lord, can
• 31:37
  Speaker 14: we create life with electricity jolts? That's how we got
• 31:41
  Speaker 14: the novel Frankenstein. Wow, Well we didn't get we didn't
• 31:45
  Speaker 14: get we didn't get the body Frankenstein's coming out of
• 31:48
  Speaker 14: the labs. We've got great entertainments. So yes, with any
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: with humans, nothing is perfect. But I think AI one
• 31:55
  Speaker 14: of the big things in AI, by the way, is
• 31:57
  Speaker 14: going to be And then the coming years, faster approval
• 32:01
  Speaker 14: development approval of new medicines and their new medical devices
• 32:05

  Speaker 1: Mister New York Mark Simone sr.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's Wednesday. It's just seventeen days away from spring
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: daylight saving time this weekend. The war continues, as Chuck
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Schumer called it Trump's endless war. That's Schumer yesterday, Trump's
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: endless war. It's four days. Actually, it's day five today.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't call that endless. Schumer has never once said
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Ukraine is an endless war. It's year five, and he
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: hasn't said that. They look so silly, these people. You
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: got Richard Blumenthal, he's the Schumer of Connecticut. Another gloomy
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: old fossil old, washed up old dinosaur. Bloomenthal saying he's
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: worried the US may deploy soldiers in Iran boots on
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: the ground. I think Trump has made it pretty clear
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: no boots on the ground really not necessary. We've wiped
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: out everything in record time, four days, and we've destroyed
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: seventy five percent of everything there. We should be done
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks and then that's it. There's
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: no need for boots on the ground. There could possibly
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: be boots on the ground, but it won't be us.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: It'll be local militias that will arm and supply. That
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: could happen now the courts. The big thing is you
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: got to worry about who takes over. You needed to
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: be the right group. You know, what we're doing in
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Iran is exactly what Barack Obama did in Libya. Now
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: he's a Democrat, so it was okay when he does it.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: It's fine, great when he does it. But the democrat,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: what a decisive, brilliant leader. If it's a republican today,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: illegal war, it's a violation of Obama did it in Libya.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: But you know, years later in an interview, when Obama
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: was asked the biggest regret that he had as president,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: he actually said it was when he went to war
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: in o Libya and wiped out Gaddafi and got rid
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: of him and killed him. He said he should have
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: been better prepared for the aftermath. They carried out the strikes.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: It was designed to protect the population. They got Kadafi,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: he was killed, but Obama said he regretted he hadn't
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: planned more because Libya did plunge into chaos with Malitias
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: taken over for civil war, all that sort of stuff. Now,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Trump obviously a much more highly skilled manager than Obama.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Trump has managed hundreds of thousands employees, managed a global
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: empire for forty years. Obama never had a real job
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: before before getting into politics. He was what did they
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: call that, a community organizer. Nobody knows what the hell
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: that is. But he's never managed anything. So Trump much
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: more management skill, and I think that's the big difference. Hey,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Epstein hearings, they're going to call in Howard Lutnick. Now,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: why what does Lutnick have to do with Epstein? Basically nothing.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: He had lunch with him once. Lutnik years ago bought
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: a townhouse on seventy first Street and the guy next
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: door was a guy named Jeffrey Epstein. That's how they met.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: He was the next door neighbor. You know, we have
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: these townhouses, they're actually connected. I mean the two walls
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: actually touch each other. You should like share a wall
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: in between. So that's how he met Epstein. I think
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: one time he took a tour of Epstein's house and
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: then Epstein kept bugging him to have lunch because Howard
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Lutnick back then was a big deal. He was the
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald. So Epstein always trying to woo
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: and court anybody who's anybody, and kept begging Epstein to
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: come to lunch. And Epstein had a big yacht, I mean,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Lutnik had a big yacht. And he was down there
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: in the Caribbean, not far from the island, and he said, okay,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: we'll stop by for lunch. When he said we will
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: stop by for lunch, it was Howard Lutnick, his wife,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: his four kids, two nannies, and they had a number
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: another couple with them that had kids and nannies. And
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: he said to be okay if we bring them. So,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, the only thing we learned from this, don't
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: ever invite Howard Lutnick to lunch. Because suddenly he had
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: fourteen people show up. But Epstein didn't mind. But so
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Lutnick came, but with like twelve other people and that
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: was it. So he'll testify. There's nothing to testify about.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: But it'll look good. It'll look like we see we
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: called and we called in somebody from the Trump administration.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Now Hillary Clinton testified, and if you saw the video,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: she didn't look so bad. I mean, listen, she's not
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: gonna win any beauty contest. I mean she but she
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: didn't look as bad as you thought she would look.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: You know, sometimes you see a picture of her, she
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: looks like just like a drunken old hag. But in
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: this she looked not so bad. Well, it turns out
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: the committee now revealed that the Hillary team showed up
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: and demanded all kinds of things, you know. They to
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: do this, They rented the Chapequa Performing Arts Center. It
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: was like a little theater and they set up like
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: a table where the people being interviewed would sit, and
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: behind it was a black curtain which belonged to the theater.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: It was part of the theater. Well, apparently the Hillary
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: team didn't like it. They wanted something softer. They wanted
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: a nice blue background. They found a local vendor to manufacture.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: It had to be built quickly. They built a special
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: set for her, the nice blue thing behind her. They
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: wanted special lighting to make her look good. They wanted
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: what they call beauty lightning. Beauty lighting. Beauty lighting is
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: sometimes when you're on television, you know there's lights above you,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: there's lights on the side, there's lights behind you. Beauty
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: lighting is they put lights below you shining up, like
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: when you're on a TV show. Sometimes you know, see
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: the desk, you're all sitting at a desk, and it's
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: like a beautiful glass top. Actually loose sight. It's like
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: a loose sight top. Well sometimes underneath there's light in there.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: There's all kinds of little lights shining up into your face.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: It takes out the wrinkles. So if you have the
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: lights above, it'll create a shadow on the bags under
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: your eyes. It'll put a little shadow. You can see
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: the wrinkles. But if you put a light under the
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: table shining up, it takes out the shadows from the
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: wrinkles or the bags and you look younger. So Hillary's
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: team demanded this beauty lighting be put in. And then
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: they wanted you remember on the table that had a
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: white tablecloth. The reason they wanted that if you put
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: a white tablecloth, it reflects the light, so more light
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: will come shining up into your face and make it
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: look softer and get rid of the wrinkles. Hillary's team
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: tested the lighting. They had somebody sit in the chair
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: and they adjusted the lights while the test person sat
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: in the chair. They moved the camera angles to make
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: her look good. This was the result. Now if you
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: saw there's still look pretty bad, but you looked apparently
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: a lot better than she could have. And it helped
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Bill Clinton a little. It softened him up, made him
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: look a little better. Hey, he's heard he saw that plane.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Remember the plane that went down in the Hudson. What
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: was his name, Sully Sullenberger, that great pilot. The engines
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: went He had no engines. He couldn't get to Laguardi
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: with that. The engines just went off. Bird strike knocked
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: out his engines and you're without any power. Now, it
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: turns out this old veteran pilot, Sally Sullenberger, he's been
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: a pilot in Vietnam. And it turned out he had
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of training as a glider pilot. I mean,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: what are the odds of that. You're on this plane
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, all the engines are out, and
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: this guy's a trained glider pilot. He knew how to
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: glide the plane right into the Hudson. You have to
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: keep the wings absolutely level and steady in the right angle.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: And he landed that plane in the Hudson. Now, This
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: is a little easier because it's a little tiny plane.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: But it's flying way way up the Hudson, upstate, and
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: it crashed. A little tiny private plane crashed. Here's the
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: transmission to the control tower. They're trying to get him
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: to the airport in this emergency.
• 41:49
  Speaker 15: We're going to go into the hot to Curio.
• 41:51
  Speaker 14: Say that against, We're.
• 41:53
  Speaker 15: Going into the Hudson River. I don't think we're gonna
• 41:55
  Speaker 15: make the airport.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Sounds like a pretty experienced pilot if you could say,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: we're going to go into the Hudson. What's that? Uh,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: we're gonna go into the Hudson. I mean, how do
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: you stay that calm? Remember that Sally Sullenburger audio is
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: the same thing. We're gonna land in the Hudson. What
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: you say we're gonna land in the Hudson. I mean
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: if if that were me or anybody, we'd be saying,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, you'd be going crazy.
• 42:22
  Speaker 11: Me.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Listen that again. How calm this guy is.
• 42:24
  Speaker 15: We're going to go into the Hosonario. Say it against,
• 42:28
  Speaker 15: We're going into the Hudson River. I don't think we're
• 42:30
  Speaker 15: gonna make the airport.
• 42:33
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: And this guy's a lot like Sullenberger. Sullenberger knew when
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: he was going to go into the Hudson where to
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: put the plane down. You could go north of the
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: George Washington Bridge, but he knew to turn and go
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: south because if you went south of the George Washing Bridge,
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: you'd be right near all the docks and piers and
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: rescue equipment they could get to you. You go north,
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: there's your farther away. He knew goes south of the bridge,
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: and that's where all the rescue stuff would be. And
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: they to him very very quickly. Same thing with this guy.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: He knew like to go here, put this part of
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: the ting to be close to the part where the
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: rescue stuff would be coming from. Pretty amazing. Hey, Christy
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Nome had to testify yesterday. I don't know about this,
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Christy Nome. I don't know how long she's gonna last.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You know, there's all kinds of things
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: coming out, Like her department, Homeland Security was shutdown, all
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: the funding was cut, no more funding because of this
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: crazy shutdown, government shutdown. And she's blaming this for you know,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: homeland security. Right now, with the Iran conflict, you need
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: homeland security to look for any possible Iranian terrorist terrorist
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: cells here. But she's getting all kinds of flight now.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: For instance, you know, she spent all this money she
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: bought a big, huge, enormous private jet basically for her
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: to fly around on. She claimed it was going to
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: be to transport deportees. But it's not.
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: It's not.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: It's a it's got a bedroom in it. It's got
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: and you know, she's got this Corey Lewandowski with her,
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: and everybody keeps saying they're sleeping together. They're both married
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: and having this affair. So the plane with the bedroom,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you do the math on that. But
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: now she's getting hit for spending two hundred and twenty
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: million dollars of taxpayer funded funds to pay for TV ads.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Now the ads star her, two hundred and twenty million
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: on ads that feature her. I guess it's making herself
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: very famous there. When asked about this in the hearings,
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: she said, well, the President Trump told me to get
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: the message out to the country and to other countries.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Well that's the message, it's not put your face all
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: over television. Then well, here she was testifying yesterday about
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: the shutdown and all that.
• 44:51
  Speaker 17: The latest Democrat led shutdown of DHS is reckless, it's unnecessary,
• 44:56
  Speaker 17: and it undermines the American national security, and it harms
• 45:00
  Speaker 17: the men and women who work at DHS and their families.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Now there's one Democrat, Senator Coons, is going after her
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: about you know, what if ICE agents showed up at
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: the polls when it's voting time? What if ICE agents
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: were there? Of course they could scare away the illegals.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, who else would you be scared of? An
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: ICE agent?
• 45:18
  Speaker 14: Now?
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: But he asked her about this, will.
• 45:20
  Speaker 14: You rule out the deployment of ICE or CBP to
• 45:24
  Speaker 14: polling places this November?
• 45:26
  Speaker 17: There are no plans to have ICE officers at our
• 45:28
  Speaker 17: polling locations.
• 45:30
  Speaker 14: And I'm glad you hear that, But would you rule
• 45:32
  Speaker 14: it out? Would you say it will not happen?
• 45:34
  Speaker 17: Do you plan on illegal aliens voting in our elections?
• 45:37
  Speaker 14: Sona, do not?
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Okay? All right, that was pretty good. Why would you
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: be afraid of? I just hope you don't send them.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Why would you hope there's no law enforcement at a
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: polling place? That doesn't make much sense. It's a little crazy. Hey,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: you know, ozempic is more and more. This is not
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: just ozempic. There's like a bunch of these drugs, they
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: call them GLP one drugs. It takes away a lot
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: of your Appithay, you still eat, but you eat a
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: lot lot less. So restaurants were going nuts because people
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: there on ozempic and they can't eat that much, so
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: they don't order as much. It's costing restaurants money. Now
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of restaurants started to do a special ozempic
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: menu where it's small portions. You know, otherwise you order
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: a whole big entree, you gotta throw away sometimes half
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: of it, three quarters of it. But the problem with
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: the ozempic menu, you're gonna get a small portion. You
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: can't charge as much, you gotta charge less. So it
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: doesn't really help the restaurant at all. And now bakeries
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: are complaining. A lot of bakeries in the trist area
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: they've seen a big drop in business because of this ozempic.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Big Gardland news day to day. Here's a Messina market,
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: East Norwich, Oyster Bay. I love that Messina market, it's great,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: but they own the bakery next door. They said they've
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: seen a big drop. Here's a couple of bakeries in
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Long Island seen a big drop in business. Now some
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: of them they're gonna do the same thing. They'll sell
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: little tiny items for the ozmbic people. So you can
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: buy a tiny croissant, you can buy a tiny donut,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: you can buy a little pastry. But again the problem
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: is you can't charge as much. You got to cut
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: the price. So it really doesn't help the bakeries. Now,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: if you own a bakery, I guess the only going
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: to tell you is just keep waiting, because once the
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: side effects from all these drugs start to show up
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: and hit people less unless people will be taken them. Now,
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: the ozampic is like twelve hundred dollars a shot, although
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: President Trump is working on getting that down to five
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: hundred is shot. It's got side effects. I mean, we've
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: already seen you get that ozempic face where you everything's
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: just starts drooping in your face. You can see it.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: It's ozembic face. It doesn't look good. Then you got
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: the apparently there's problems with your teeth from ozambic, all
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: kinds of teeth problems. So I would wait, you know what,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: there's a freeway to lose weight, just eat less you
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: can actually actually do it. Hey, big announcement this morning,

  Speaker 7: I am coming to the oldest talk radio station continuously
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: running in New York City and the best talk radio station.
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: So it doesn't get any better than that.
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: Joining with you, Larry and the crew there at WOOR,
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: I come back to what people have been asking me
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: to do ever since I lost the election on November fourth,
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: a lot of people said, when are you getting back?
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: When are you getting back to talk radio?
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Well, Monday, Monday, he'll start with Larry Mante. Now, it's
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: tough to do a morning show. I can't do it.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: It's just too tough. You got to get up, like,
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know, if it show starts at six, you
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: got to get up at I don't know, four thirty five. Now,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: some of these all these morning guys, you know, they
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: live way out in the suburbs. They got to get
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: up at three o'clock and what I mean. I've had
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: to do a morning show through the years, filling in
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of times for Curtis. But if at the
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: morning show six to ten, I would get there at
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: six oh four, because you got a newscast to six
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: oh five. Curtis, if he has a morning show at six,
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: he'll get there at two. He's the hardest working guy.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: In fact, Curtis will sleep at the station. That's how
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: dedicated he is. But remember, for years he had like
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: the number one morning show in New York. It was
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Curtis and Kooby. We could live without Kobe much better
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: with Curtis and Larry. And that all starts Monday and
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: on seven to ten. Wor Hey, we'll take some calls.

  Speaker 2: love Curtis.
• 50:50
  Speaker 18: When the two of them get together, you're.

  Speaker 2: A little annoying.
• 50:55
  Speaker 18: I learned so much from that show. I was so
• 50:57
  Speaker 18: sorry when ron Koby got off the radio. It's all
• 51:00
  Speaker 18: I'm saying, the two of them.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He's a good guy. We just said,
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: you know, he think he was like the audience would
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: go crazy with his left one.
• 51:06
  Speaker 18: I just I just wanted to make that point. Thank
• 51:09
  Speaker 18: you very much for taking my car.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks for Colin. Let's go to rich In
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: Myrtle Beach. Rich How you doing.
• 51:15
  Speaker 15: Hey, Thanks Mark.
• 51:16
  Speaker 19: You know, the big news last night was Crockett is out,
• 51:19
  Speaker 19: that kane wielding Green is out, and Ben Crenshaw is
• 51:23
  Speaker 19: out in their primaries, and I was Ben Crenshaw was
• 51:25
  Speaker 19: going off the reservation as a Republican. I'm glad he
• 51:29
  Speaker 19: got primaried out. But you got rid of Crockett. You
• 51:32
  Speaker 19: got rid of that guy, Al Green or whatever his
• 51:34
  Speaker 19: name is. The Only problem is they're on our doll
• 51:37
  Speaker 19: for the rest of their lives with free healthcare and
• 51:39
  Speaker 19: everything because they did one term in Congress.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: It's worth it just to get rid of them. We'll
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: pay it. If they'll leave, we'll pay their healthcare. Thanks
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: for Colin. Let's go to h Richard in Bay Shore. Richard,
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 51:52
  Speaker 12: I'm doing a well fucking morning. Three politicians with zero
• 51:56
  Speaker 12: military experience, Chuck Schumer, Kim Jeffries, and of course previous
• 52:03
  Speaker 12: president's name I've forgotten Obama Lincoln served Obama Biden. Lincoln
• 52:10
  Speaker 12: served in the militia for ninety days, the defeated of
• 52:13
  Speaker 12: the West Point trained one time Secretary of War Jefferson Davis.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: So that's good, very good point. Yeah, there are times
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: when Democrats get so desperate they'll actually attack somebody. If
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: a Republican goes to ward, they'll attack them. You never served,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: you never served, you never served. They tried this nonsense.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: First of all, there hasn't been a draft in a
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: million years. I think Bill Clinton was the first, I believe,
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: the first president with no military experience. It like in
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: our lifetime. But after a certain point, nobody has any
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: military experience. There was no draft, so nobody served anymore.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are people who, thank God, they serve,
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: but it's this tiny, tiny percentage of population. Now let's
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: go to in White Plaines, Tony. How you doing it?
• 53:02
  Speaker 20: Yeah, good morning, Mark. I want to congratulate Curtis Slatto
• 53:07
  Speaker 20: over there on the other station. He kept saying, well,
• 53:09
  Speaker 20: where's Curtis?
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: Now?
• 53:10
  Speaker 20: Where's he now? Well he's on a good station. W
• 53:13
  Speaker 20: o R. At least now maybe people could call up
• 53:17
  Speaker 20: and give their opinion about the election instead. And I'm
• 53:21
  Speaker 20: cutting them off, and they keep playing Curtis that Curtis
• 53:24
  Speaker 20: is the reason why Montdomin he got elected. Are you
• 53:27
  Speaker 20: kidding me? They're the reason from day.
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: One the problem.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: The problem was in that election. I don't know how
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: this happened. It just there was a book once called
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: The Madness of Crowds. It was the craziest group think.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: They somehow got it through their head that Andrew Cromo
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: could get elected, which was absolutely insane. The guy just
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: got run out of office. He just left office in disgrace.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: He had a flea allbity, being chased by the police.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was just I guess, And if you
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: waited fifteen years you could run, but two seconds later
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: you can't run after you just left in disgrace. It
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: was insane. But they somehow convinced themselves that he actually
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: had a shot. Even the Democrats wouldn't vote for him.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: He lost the primary. If it wasn't for Cuoma, you
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have Mom Donnie. He chased the Adams out of
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: the primary. Had Adams been in the primary, he had
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: a shot at beating Mom Donnie and Curtis had nothing
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: to do with Cuomo losing. Nothing, absolutely nothing. You can
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: prove it mathematically. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn.
• 54:27
  Speaker 21: Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mack. I'm okay. Most
• 54:31
  Speaker 21: people don't notice, but Barack Obama destabilized Libya. Libya seventy
• 54:40
  Speaker 21: years ago was at a colony of Italy, and at
• 54:44
  Speaker 21: one point I believe it was Kadafi that tried to
• 54:47
  Speaker 21: take out Ronald Reagan or George Bush. Yes, and they
• 54:50
  Speaker 21: put a missile in his tent and killed his kid.
• 54:53
  Speaker 21: And after that he was walking the straight and narrow.
• 54:56
  Speaker 21: He gave up his missiles and of his really hard
• 55:01
  Speaker 21: military stuff and he was kind of walking the straight line.
• 55:04
  Speaker 21: Sure there was a lot of bladder over there. But
• 55:07
  Speaker 21: I saw on Italian TV when the rebels, actually the
• 55:12
  Speaker 21: rebels who actually turned out to ruin the country found Kadaffi.
• 55:17
  Speaker 21: He was hiding in her drainage and they grabbed him.
• 55:23
  Speaker 21: The crowd was yelling and this and that, and they're
• 55:27
  Speaker 21: pushing and shoving him along, and all of a sudden
• 55:29
  Speaker 21: you hear a bullet being fired and they put a
• 55:32
  Speaker 21: cap in the back of his head. But by it
• 55:34
  Speaker 21: to that, the terrorists who were in Libya, he kept
• 55:39
  Speaker 21: them in line. Kadaffi kept them in line. And this
• 55:42
  Speaker 21: is what I'm going to say, is Vincent's opinion set
• 55:46
  Speaker 21: money out of this conflict. This is not w wa
• 55:49
  Speaker 21: this And I know by stocking North American waityar because
• 55:54
  Speaker 21: as Richuals from South Carolina will tell you, all the
• 55:58
  Speaker 21: guidance devices in these missiles are made by Ray.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, a lot of there's a lot of uh,
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: defense contractors. We're gonna have to replace all of the
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: one of them is Raydon. All right, Vincent, thanks for calling.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to replace all of this stuff. So
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: defense contractors are going to make a fortune. Hey when
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: we come back. Steve Cuzo, the great New York Post columnist, Uh,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: now is New York dying? Are people moving out? Or
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: is there everybody leaving? The waiting you hear the actual facts.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that next on seven to ten WR.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: On sevent ten WR, he's more of the marks Emosia.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: Well, let's see how New York is actually doing. The
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: great columnist, Steve Cuzo, New York Post. Nobody better on
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: real estate, on restaurants. Steve Cuzo's columns are all in
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: the New York Post website. You can you can see
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: them all there. Steve Cuzo, how you doing?
• 56:51
  Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Mark, Good thank you. No.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: So every time I turn on, somebody's that's it. Everybody's
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: leaving New York. Everybody's moving, everybody's what's the truth.
• 57:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah, nobody's leading.
• 57:01
  Speaker 22: I don't know anybody who's leaving all my friends are
• 57:04
  Speaker 22: trying to get back to town. They're stuck in Palm Beach,
• 57:07
  Speaker 22: problems with the planes, all that kind of stuff.
• 57:11
  Speaker 8: So no, nobody's leaving. It's all boloney.
• 57:15
  Speaker 22: And in fact, if you look around, there's more real
• 57:19
  Speaker 22: estate investment than ever. I read that there's a couple
• 57:23
  Speaker 22: of apartments or townhouses on the Upper east Side that
• 57:27
  Speaker 22: sold for crazy numbers. So there's almost no office space
• 57:33
  Speaker 22: left because.
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: The company companies are are.
• 57:36
  Speaker 22: Expanding, signing new leases, and there's new and there's.
• 57:40
  Speaker 8: New construction going on.
• 57:42
  Speaker 22: And the big best news of all for the city
• 57:45
  Speaker 22: is that American Express AMEX announced last week they're building
• 57:51
  Speaker 22: a new building at the World Trade Center to be
• 57:53
  Speaker 22: their headquarters. You know, there's a site called Tower two
• 57:58
  Speaker 22: or two World Trade Center that was never.
• 58:01
  Speaker 8: Developed after nine to eleven.
• 58:03
  Speaker 22: The other buildings went up, but that corner Fulton and
• 58:07
  Speaker 22: the Church Street has been empty. It's like it's being
• 58:10
  Speaker 22: used as a beer garden and an art installation. And
• 58:14
  Speaker 22: Larry Silverstein, the developer, is going to build this new beautiful,
• 58:19
  Speaker 22: twelve hundred foot tall skyscraper for MX, which is going
• 58:23
  Speaker 22: to move from where they currently are right nearby, and
• 58:28
  Speaker 22: it's an extraordinary thing. It's confidence in the city and
• 58:32
  Speaker 22: it's also reflects you know, it's it finally completes the
• 58:36
  Speaker 22: World Trade Center. A quarter century after nine to eleven,
• 58:41
  Speaker 22: we're finally going.
• 58:42
  Speaker 8: To get the last piece of the puzzle. That's great news.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: How old is Larry Silverstein got to be in his nineties,
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: ninety four, and he's going to build a.
• 58:50
  Speaker 8: Sky spry he's very spry.
• 58:53
  Speaker 22: Well, he's not going to be down on his hands
• 58:54
  Speaker 22: and knees, you know, he's not going to be wielding
• 58:58
  Speaker 22: a shovel.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: When you're the builder, you're in there fighting with unions
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: and arguing everybody.
• 59:04
  Speaker 22: Actually, you know, Silverstein has very good relationships with the
• 59:07
  Speaker 22: construction unions. Not all developers use union labor. He does,
• 59:12
  Speaker 22: and it's it's never been a problem. And I suspect
• 59:16
  Speaker 22: that whenever they schedule a groundbreaking, likely in the next
• 59:20
  Speaker 22: quite soon, within the next few months, you'll see Larry
• 59:23
  Speaker 22: Silverstein there, you know, for the photo op with the shovel.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good for him. So I also notice there's
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: buildings going There's like a huge skyscraper going up at
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: fifty eighth in Madison. There's one going up at Park Avenue,
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: and fifty second. There's yeah, dozens of these planned.
• 59:42
  Speaker 22: So there are two of them on Madison Avenue. One
• 59:45
  Speaker 22: is at like roughly fifty eighth Street. The other is
• 59:48
  Speaker 22: two or three blocks north. Developers are Extel and related
• 59:54
  Speaker 22: companies and the ones, you know, the round has been excavated.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 22: The other is I think beginning construction, and there'll be
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 22: new combination condo apartments, uh, some office space, partly hotels,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 22: and of course a lot of retail because it's Madison Avenue,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 22: you know, the world's greatest shopping boulevard.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So these are the smartest real estate guys in
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: the world, these companies what they wouldn't be building here
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: if they had any doubt about New York having a
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: big future.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 8: Even with Mom down it's so true, even with Mum.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 22: It'll be interesting if he shows up for the groundbreaking
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 22: of the Amex tower. But yes, they are among the
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 22: smartest people in the world.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 8: You don't hear.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 22: About as you read about in Miami sometimes La even
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 22: in London sometimes about excuse me, developers that over they're
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 22: over leveraged. They borrowed too much money, the demand wasn't
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 22: there for their product, and so their buildings go into
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 22: foreclosure and they have to get failed by the banks.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 22: I mean, this happens in New York, as it does everywhere,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 22: but not at the highest level, which is very impressive.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: Wow. Hey, So I remember after nine to eleven, everybody said, well,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: nobody will ever go downtown again, nobody will ever open downtown.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 8: Of course, that's nobody. Cities were going to be dead.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 22: Remember, not just New York, but cities are dead because
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 22: there's too much of a threat to of terrorism everywhere,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 22: and nobody's going to want to be concentrated in a
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 22: small area. And you know we laughed at that. We
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 22: didn't laugh, so it was taken seriously at the time.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 22: I never believed that. And then you have other catastrophes
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 22: of the lesser order. You had Hurricane Sandy, you had
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 22: the Wall Street crash of what is it eight I think,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 22: and when you had a lot of companies have to
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 22: contract their space, and of course the worst of all,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 22: which was the pandemic.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they said, nobody will ever go back
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: to work in an office.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 22: Nobody's ever going back to work in the office.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 6: Is it's over.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 8: And even some very smart people believe that. I never did.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 22: Yeah, maybe I'm not one of the smart ones, but
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 22: look what's happened. You can't move in midtown?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 8: Excuse me? It's so full of life and.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 22: There's very little, as I mentioned, very little office space
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 22: still available because demand is so high.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: Wow. So uh now what about restaurants? You still got?
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: Every time I turn around, there's another big restaurant opening.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: So obviously, yeah, demand is there.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 8: Demand is there.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 22: And the funniest thing is that if you read the
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 22: you know, the food media, the blogs and all this stuff,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 22: all they write.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 8: About is vegan vegan veganness.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 22: Obscure cuisine combinations, you know, Mexican, Malaysia, and all these
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 22: kind of crazy things. But what people really want is steak.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 22: And so right now I think there are probably more
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 22: steakhouses in the city than.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 8: There ever were, more new.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 22: Ones I just read in the last I'm so sorry
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 22: the last few days, last few days. There's a new hotel,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 22: a Kimpton Hotel right near my office on West forty
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 22: eighth Street, which is developed by Extel, and that hotel
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 22: is going to have four restaurants or three restaurants in
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 22: a lounge, and one of the restaurants is Roco de Spirito.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 22: You know the great Italian American chef. But the other
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 22: is a big steak, a Latin steakhouse. I don't remember
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 22: the name, but there you go, another steakhouse. And then
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 22: I read that there's another steakhouse which I can't recall
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 22: the name of.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 8: There were just so darn many.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 22: On near Eighth Avenue or on eighth Avenue in Midtown.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 8: The appetite is insatiable for red meat.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 22: And it's remarkable because the price of beef at the
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 22: wholesale level has gone up enormously over the last ten years.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 22: Anyone in the business will will explain that the herds,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 22: for various reasons, the herds at the large ranches to
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 22: be reduced in numbers, so there was less supply. At
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 22: the same time, there was still this insatiable demand, so
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 22: prices have gone up. Other prices have come down, the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 22: price of chicken, the price price.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 8: Of eggs has come down.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 22: But for people who love meat, red meat, none.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 8: Of it seems to make a difference.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 22: Steakhouses open and they put there like palladinos or I'm happy,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 22: happy to be going. This evening has great steak, and
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 22: the prices are gone up, but only a little, not
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 22: that much.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you go to a restaurant in the steakhouse
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: and it's eighty dollars for the steak, they're paying like
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: seventy eight dollars for the steak. It's not that they're
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: trying to get.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 8: They're not gouging. They're not gouging at all.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 22: And you know, they restaurants are very, very creative people.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 22: They have to adapt and so you know, they can
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 22: tweak their menus, they can tweak their labor costs to
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 22: an extent, and somehow they always come through.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 8: You know, after a nightmare of the pandemic, when.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 22: Restaurants literally in New York City had to close, and
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 22: then when they were allowed.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 8: To reopen, they were reopened.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 22: In this grudging way, you know, only serving on the street,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 22: limited capacity.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 8: Everybody had to wear masks. You remember, we all had
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 8: to go to restaurants. You how to have your temperature taken.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 8: Do you remember that?
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 22: And so how if an industry, a business that can
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 22: survive that kind of collective trauma can survive anything. You know,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 22: an incidental increase in the price of steak is not
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 22: going to make a difference.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Steve Cuzo, we're out of time. But if
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: you want to read some great columns or restaurants about
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: real estate, about New York, Steve Cuzou New York Post website.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: You can get all his columns there. Steve Cuzo in
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: the New York Post. Steve Cuzo, great stuff. Thanks for
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: being with us.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 8: Thank you. Mark always fun.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: Take care. Yeah, so that's true at the stake. You know,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: if it's eighty dollars the restaurant, it's like seventy eight
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: to them. They're not even making a profit. In fact,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: they only make the profit on the side dish. If
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: you ordered broccoli, it's like fifteen dollars and it cost
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: them twelve cents. So if you don't order a side dish,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: they go crazy. Anyway, don't forget Buck and Clay. They'll
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: be here right after the news at twelve noon with

• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: a navy. We've eliminated it. The last great the moment
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: was they had their biggest warship, the Solomony. Remember that
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: was the terrorist Trump took out in his first term.
• 1:07:12
