  Speaker 1: So hey, first, let me ask you some Palm Beach questions.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Not long ago recently there was a local race, the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Republican loss, the Democrat won. This is unheard of in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach County. White. How did this happen in Trump's hometown?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: How did that happen? The Republican lost?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Well, there was a vacancy the the the previous occupant
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: of the office took a courthouse jobs. You know. In
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: other words, Florida is a lot like other states like
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: New York and Massachusetts. People always want to bail out
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: to the courthouse, and this guy did. So there was
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a vacancy and two people ran and the Democrat was
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you know, named they shid some name like Muffy Pepperidge,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and you know, he hated Trump, and the Republicans nominated
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a black businessman, so you know, he was he was.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: That was. It was a tough tough thing in the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in the beginning. But you saw what happened right about
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: they they had a they had a poll worker, a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: poll worker who is a Democrat with a record as
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: long as his arm, and he stole apparently one of
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the election apparatuss that, you know, one of these little things.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And you know the elections supervisor, who by the way,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: is a Democrat, she said, oh no, no, nothing happened,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Nothing could have happened. That was just a you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: just a dummy document. But you know, hey, it was
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: eight hundred votes. It was a very very close election,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: fifty one forty nine. And you know, it's one of
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: those things, Mark, you know how it works if they were,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: If if the Republican Maples had had won by one vote,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: there would have been nothing about it except in the
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: local paper, maybe not even in the local paper. But
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: as it is, it's Trump is remutiated in his home down.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: But that's the way they played it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And I actually saw one one website said Trump loses
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a special election in his congressional district. Congressional district. There
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: was a state Reps district.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Come on and it was extremely low turnout.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, it was pretty it was pretty low turnout.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: It wasn't it wasn't super low turnout. But you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the Republicans knew they had a problem, so they weren't
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: they losing everybody all the all the Republican base with
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: people tried getting trying to get them to come out.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: But actually we had a municipal election two weeks earlier,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and that got of that got a higher turnout. And
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: then and they were also poll workers for the municipal election.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: These two uh, these two swells uh you know, wearing
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: both eyes, you know, campaigning to get on the town council.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: You could you could they were both from Boston. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: don't have to do I need to stay in the market,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: you know. But they got a higher turnout with that,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and they spent a lot more money on that thing
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: than they did on the state reps race. But you know, look,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I you know, if you've seen what happened in New
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: York when they lost when you guys lost the state Senate,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: or you've seen what happens in Massachusetts when you have
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Democrats super majorities, you never want to lose a legislative seat,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: no matter how minor you think it is. You know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you've got to get out there and vote. I mean,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: it's you know, it's you're only one election away from
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: from disaster, as you guys are finding out in New
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: York City.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, Ali Carno. Another thing, they're going to rename the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach Airport Trump International. What how are Democrats supposed
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to get to Florida. They're not going to land at
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: any airport called Trump International. What are they going to do?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: They you know, it'll it'll take a while, but they've
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: gotten used to Reagan and International, right, so they can.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And you know, if you fly out to Vegas, you
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: have to they don't. They have the Harry Reader in
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the National Airport that that would frost me if I
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: had to go, if I hadn't land at Harry Reader
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: International Airport. But hey, you get used to it. It's
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: it's it's better than you know, spending time in New
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: York City and getting mugged and uh, you know and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: robbed and uh you know, uh shripped of all your
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: your estate after your death by Mamdani and Hocal.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Hey. President Trump Act's Eric Trump announced yesterday the plans
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for the Trump Presidential Library. It's going to be a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a big, unbelievable skyscraper in Miami. Did that surprise you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that it's going to be in Miami. Wouldn't you think
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it'd be in New York? No?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think so. I mean, he
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: is from New York and he mentioned he still mentions
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: New York and being from there. But no, I mean,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: why why go through all the crap of that, you know?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I mean again, though he's got, you know, one thing
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: about these recent presidents, he has such a low bar
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to to go over. I mean, this thing in Chicago
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: with Obama is just a complete fiasco. It looks like
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: it was designed you know, in the Kim junks, Uh,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you know, with the John School of Government, and it's
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: North Korean like, and the neighbors are suing, and it's
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the cost overruns. And you know what I love about
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the you know, unlike unlike say that the Kennedy uh
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Study Center for the Study of the Senate, or the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Obama Library. They always say, oh, we'll pay for it
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: our private donors. They're they're so grateful for what Ted
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Kennedy or Barack Obama did and then once they're once,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: they're gone. Once you're out, you're out, you know, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: they these libs don't have any sense of gratitude. But
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you the Trump's library will be uh, you know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: taking care of It'll be like the ballroom. It'll be
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: taking private donors, will will will take care of this.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny the Biden Presidential Library doesn't exist,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: no plans, no donors, nothing. But you're right, they abandoned
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: him like crazy.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, you know, I mean, I don't know.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: There needs to be a place to stash his comic
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: books and his coloring books. You know, he's got I
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: heard he's got a really good selection of you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: uh d C comics from his from his youth. Back
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: in the days, back in the days before they even
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: had Batman, it was a superman when he was collecting.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I see him more as a Beatle Bailey kind of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: comic books or Blondie kind of comics.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: So made Little Lottie.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he tell us about mar A Lago. This
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: is like where the season winds down, and when when
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: does it close for the year.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Is it Mother's Day it closes for the year. I
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: think on Mother's Day that's the That'll be the last day.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like the club will still be open
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: on the on the seaside, you know, where you can
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: come in. But you know, the the the dinners and everything,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: that's the that's the big thing, the dinners, you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and especially when when he's in town on on the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: weekends and and you know he hasn't he doesn't come
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: down every weekend, but he comes down most weekends during
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: this during the season, and then he he stops by
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and and says hello, Like last week, Uh, the Republican
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: candidate for governor of Pennsylvania. She's a she's pretty good,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: but she's a real Underdouctor Shapiro and uh, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: she she had a big fundraiser at mar Alago and
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: it was Friday night. He wasn't supposed to be there,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: but he just came in and you can imagine, you
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: know that that's that Goose fundraising for and in his
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: guarret and uh, you know, so he comes in and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: he sees people and just hangs out and then he
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: and he plays golf and he usually goes down to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: either to to one of his own West Palm. That's what,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you know, that's what that's what the nut from North
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Carolina tried to shoot him and uh, you know, or
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: he only just you know, he hangs out. I mean,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: he's it's I like having him around. And you know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you can you see the little Coast Guard boats. I
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm on the Inner Coastal Waterway Lake Wharth
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: they call it, and I can and you know, you
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: see the orange Coast Guard boats with mounted machine guns.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: You know what they kind of look like is those
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Iranian speedboats that they don't exist anymore, but he used
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: to exist still about two weeks ago. They look like
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: those things. And they they come, they come in and
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: they they changed the shift at noon and they go
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: up to Riviera Beach where there's a Coast Guard base.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: It's I mean, it's it's really interesting and it's yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: it's just so it's so strange because when I was
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: a little, a tiny little boy, Jack Kennedy was the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: president and he he lived up on the other side
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: of the island, on the north side of the island.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Nobody ever thought there'd be another there would be another
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: presidential winter white House. But now there has been. Now
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: there is. It's great, wonderful.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: So when they closed mar Alaga, they close it to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: like Halloween, like till October Halloween. What what are these
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: painted up old ladies do for six months that all
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: hang out at mari Alaga. Where do they go for
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: six months?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean a lot of them go, you know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: they head north, they go to the Hampton, you know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a few were you know, there's more
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and more of a yearly presence here. But you know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: like the country club. Yeah, the club and in in
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: West Palm is open. It's really a nice place and
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: it's like a you know, one of the best golf
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: courses in Florida. And he's he's very proud of that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And you know, there's all all together the Everglades is
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: still open. The Yeah, the Breakers. You know, the Breakers
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: used to be a seasonal place, but it's it's open
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: year round, and so most of the places are open years.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Since air conditioning, I mean, I know, I'm dating myself
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: because that's been like fifty years now, but since air
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: conditioning came in big you know, South Florida, it's just
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: it's just gotten much bigger. I mean it used to
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: it used to just have like a you know, a
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: relative handful of congressman here, and now it's like the
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: third largest state in the country, I believe, after California
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: and Texas.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Palm Springs. Nobody lived in Palm Springs until air
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: conditioning was invented in the late forties. That's when the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: first people started to live there.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and you know, they never had like central
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: air like the Breakers were. The Breakers was went to
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: central air in like the early nineteen seventies, and and
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: now people, you know, I tell people what it used
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: to be like, and it's hard, it's hard to imagine,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: but that's that's the way it was. I mean, it
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: costs millions of dollars, but they've they've made it back obviously,
