  Speaker 4: seen a president as busy as him. And he has
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: three press conferences a day, maybe four.
• 0:54

  Speaker 3: project on Park Avenue on this idiot mayor this moron.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: He's trying to force him out of here because he's
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: a billionaire and he's he's actually driven Ken Griffin to
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the point where Griffin is very seriously considering taking that
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: six billion dollars and going to Miami, which is very
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: painful for us because we are operating right now under
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: a five point four billion dollar deficit. We could use
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: that six billion. But Trump said, yeah, I know Ken Griffin.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I guess saw you guys. You're all buddies, right for
• 1:55

  Speaker 4: Bill Bill yes, and uh you know uh and uh
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: he uh. He would complain my traffics in my apartment.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: I can't get home. And I told I told that
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Bill Clinton. He had a good laugh, and U and
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I reminded to President Trump and he had a good laugh.

  Speaker 4: Right by the way, But we don't know why they
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: weren't destroyed.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Well, he seems to think it's because of people like
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: us on the era.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: And the additional thing, it's mostly the electric vehicle companies
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: that are trying to use the excuse. Then you have
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: people like General Motors, who the CEO is a little
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: bit on the extreme left side. Is that the nicest
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: way he said, yeah, she only blewe like ten twenty
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: thirty billion dollars for a shell. There's on electric vehicles, right,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: and well, our friend from Ford, when we warned him
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: a few years ago about electric vehicles, heediately put am
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: radios indily into every vehic he did.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we know doesn't do it, and he's at he's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: not conservative.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: We know who he is.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: But he's been acting like once since he became friends
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: with Trump.

  Speaker 4: Elon Musk, Musk, Let's see what happens. I mean, he's
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: taking Elon Musk and in the president are very close, right,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: He's taking it with him to China.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Taking a bunch of people, Timk.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I mean the whole thing on electric vehicles, and and
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: there was a whole segment on the other side of
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Midnight there the night uh that, and we had people
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: on it. You know, I stay up at night, so
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: I listened all night. Uh that China is trying to
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: sell electric vehicles and they're selling him. They're trying to
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: sound to California, and I think Canada might abandon them.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: They are bugging the electric vehicles so they can press
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: a button and hawked your electric vehicles.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: They can stop it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Sure they can stop. Told me this, you can't. That's right.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I heard that there too.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: It was Golden Chang. Yeah, and he says they're also
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: listening to all your conversations.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: It's crazy and.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: It's it's crazy, but we got to become smarter and
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: you know what happened. Washington has become dumber, which I'm
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: upset about. Uh. And you know, in the FBI is
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: the he is the best force in the world. But
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: they have to keep their eyes open because you know
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: that one tenth of one percent that is bad in
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: any organization, one ten to one percentage gonna be bad.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: And but the rest of them has to be smart
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: enough to be able to catch up. Now, call me
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: with that stuff with eighty six forty seven, that was
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: intentional because I can understand him talking about it, saying
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: that I saw that on the beach, But when you
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: tweeted out with a little bit of a laugh underneath, yeah,
• 5:54

• 6:30
  Speaker 4: but Todd plants.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: But plants is like a step above that he's not
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: gonna go that far, but he's like a step above it. Yeah,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: he definitely wants to be everything. Pam Bondy wasn't president
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: try but ice ice and I know that his daughter
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: wanted to call it nice.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, and uh he is calling it nice.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but uh, uh, you can't allow sanctuary cities or states,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: the good sanctuary cities and states. Tom Homan and you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I'm home and very well, great guy. Uh and he's
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: got to come into New York and say and there's
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: no there's no uh sanctuary city. He is.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: He doesn't care what they know.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: The priority is you get rid of the criminals. Get
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: rid of the major criminals first. That's what they're doing, though,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: major criminals.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: They're lying.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: They're not dragging kids out of schools and and uh,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: you know the guys all gardeners up the lawns, they're
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: not doing that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: They're lying. Do some people get caught up in its shirt?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: They do? And we got two dead people in Minnesota.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: That's not great, okay, But.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: The thousands and thousands and thousands of drug dealers and
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: murderers and rapists that they've deported, come on, we're winning
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: that war. The Democrats make it sound like all they
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: do is great people out of church, kids out of school,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: and murder people on the streets of Minnesota. That's a lie, John,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: It's a flat out lie. And Hokel and Mamdannie are
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: guilty of that right here in New York.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: You're absolutely correct. There's no other way to say it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Absolutely correct. I mean they they are saying that they're
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: not going to allow the law enforcement to work with
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: the law enforcement of the federal law enforcement. And that's
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: a lot of crap, and federal law enforcement takes precedent
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: over local law enforcement. There's no other way to say it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: And if Judge Weinberg was here and he knows the
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: law very well, there is no such thing as sanctuary
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: city or sanctuary state. This is a word that people
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: in the Democratic Party have come up with, and they've
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: blown tens of billions of dollars and then they say
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: they're short money and they got to charge more. You know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, you blow tens of billions of dollars. And
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: you know what I said the other day, there's a
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: difference between immigration and migration. Immigration. Yes, the definition of
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: immigrants is were me and Bill for Gay's and Lei
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Cocher used to do on Ellis Island. We want people
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: that love America, that come here like our grandfathers and
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: our fathers and work eighty hours a week and make
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: a living and take care of the kids. Give the
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: kids an education. You know the joke. I tell you
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: know why there's no Greek diners anymore. Why is that
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: because all the Greek diner owners gave their kids an
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: education and their lawyers and doctors and doctors, and nobody
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: run the diners, which.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Is a shame.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: And it's a shame.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I used to love those twenty four hour meets Greek diners.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: It's about two or three left. Oasis is good in Brooklyn,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: there's a couple left, but that's about it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Only about two or three.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: But migration, they're coming in in President Biden's administration, and
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: somebody around it wasn't President Biden. I don't think he
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: knew what was going on, but the people around him.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Somebody has to be held accountable to allow tens of
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: millions of migrants that have no intention on loving America,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: have no intention of taking the pledgere of legiance on
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: the flag of the United States of America, and they
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: want to take from the system, not work eighty hours
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: a week. I mean, this is me and you said
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: we talk about plainly no intention of working eighty hours
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: a week. They want to take for this from the system.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's what's going on in Minnesota and that
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: governor allowing them to steal billions and billions of dollars.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Whether it's five, I don't know what the number is,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: whether it's eight big and that they're talking about, whether
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: it's two billions, it's still a lot of money now
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: and they send it to synagogue. I mean, give me

  Speaker 4: that has the courage yep to stand up and say
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: enough is enough.
