  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Sit and Friends in the morning show.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I'm Jake Novak. It's the Cats and Company takeover as
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Sid takes a well deserved day off with us as
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: John Katzmetiti's Staten Island Borough President Vita Ficla, Michael Cohen,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: who was about to embark on a career. Here at
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: WABC Radio. July twelfth, at five pm, we will have
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the first episode of When You Know You Know with
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Michael Cohen, so make sure you tune in for that.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And he's been joining us in the studio all morning.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Bernando Matteo. We finally got him out of the studio
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: for a moment. He'll be back in just a moment.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Off the air, I was talking about something. Michael Cohen
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: said something interesting during our last segment. He said the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: word cult, and you know how you know? I guess
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: it was the old joke that you know, if you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: grieve me all the time, it's a cult. As a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: member of the oldest cult surviving cult in the world,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I can tell you I gave it the office. I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: don't need to join another one. I see so many people, however, though, folks,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: everybody here in the studio, I see so many people
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: who have made politics their religion. There's no such thing,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: my friend, as a non religious person. You may not
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: be a Jew, you may not be an active Jew,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: or an active Christian, or even an active Muslim. But
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: maybe you follow fish around the country. Maybe you're one
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of those people who paints his face blue and go
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: shirtless at a negative fifteen degree football game. These are
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: all religious behaviors. These are cultish behaviors. And there's not
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: one person I've ever met who isn't religious, doesn't believe
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in something in a faith based way, in other words,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: not a scientific way. And politics, sadly, in my opinion,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: has become a religion for so many people. And that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Beata Vissela, Michael Cohen, Fernando and John. Is why we
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: are in this divide now in America, because no longer
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: just a disagreement of politics, it's now heresy. Heresy. You've
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: come into my temple and desecrated it. And that is
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: why it's because it's the lack of real meaning, of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: deeper meaning in the lives of the people who are
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: taking it so personally, that's what I'm seeing.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Well, Jake, come back, I ran I heard you down
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the hallway saying, Fernando just stepped out.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I ran back, using you were using a baseball.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I must say something today, and I don't know if
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: if the rest of you knew of today just came
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: up on my computer and it brings back great memories.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: One of my best friends, one of my good friends
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: birthday today, Lolly Weymouth. She family owned a Washington Post
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: and she was one great lady. And we were together
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: in her birthday last July fourth, and then she passed away.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: And I think it's September or October, but pancreatic cancer,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I thought it was. I'm not sure, one great lady.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I just want her. You know, people was long. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: always had the big party. But people are alive if
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you mentioned their name, and I wanted to make sure
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I mentioned her the name. Happy birthday, Lolly Weymouth, wherever
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: you are.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Amen.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Amen, Hey John, have you ever thrown a white party
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in the Hampton's You have all these.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: This is a true story.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I had some friends over and my my friend Ted
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Nicholas is married to a black girl, and I said,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: I'm I got invited to a white party. And the
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: black girl didn't know what we're talking about. And says
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: and says, does that mean I'm not invited?
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: I am serious?
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: And you know everybody knows that the language of the Hampton.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: There's a white party going on this weekend. I believe
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: where a Rod was kissing making out with a with
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: a beautiful brunette and he had just left his other
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: girlfriend a few months ago.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Guy used to be married to a Greek girl.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: And uh, and that's why I know a Rod down
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: in uh in Miami and her her father was a
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: priest and uh and uh a Rod.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Let's just say right, he used to be He used
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: to live in my building. I know him very well.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: So and we used to see women coming and going
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: all the time. And he's finished.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Why second part of his name is Rod.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Oh boy, here we go.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, conversation. Yeah that you you were giving us a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: baseball metaphor. Before that I thought was pretty By the way.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Rad each tonight today or in the moon. So thank
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you all for all of us being hearing me. I
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: can't believe four hours is going.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: But by so fast.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: It's going by very fast. It's all the catering and
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: the food is sown.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I've been nursing this cup of water for five hours.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: But I want a sugar height from the pop tart.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I think again, I go back to the vast majority
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: of people. They just want to go about their lives
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: and their families. They appreciate this country. That That's my
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: observation and I live it every single day. But there
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: are those who don't, right, And I use the analogy
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: of if you're a Yankees fan of Red Sox fan,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: you hate everything. If you're a Yankees fan, you hate
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: everything the Red Sox do. The guy could pitch a
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: perfect game, He's a bum, right he can. If the
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: umpire miss is a call in the favor of the Yankees,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: a good good for him. If the umpire miss is
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: a call in favor of the Red Sox, he's on
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: the take. You know, so you just there's no love
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: for the Red Sox anyways, say perform. I'm just using
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: this as an example and vice versa the Red Sox.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: If the whatever, the the Yankees score four hundred runs.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: There are all a bunch of losers, right, And unfortunately,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: there are those who look at politics the same way.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: They have a feeling about one party and they can't
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: stand the other. And then there are those of another
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: party can't stand the other no matter what they do.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: If you're trying to do a good thing, doesn't matter.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: They will do everything they do to crush it in
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: the cradle. There's a way around it. The trend on
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: the other of the party right now and for another
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: took issue with me the other day. Way said the
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: other party. But socialism does not work. On the two
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this country, the twenty fifth
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: anniversary of nine to eleven coming up, where this city
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: was rocked, This country was rocked, but we stood tall
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: and came back strong. Socialism doesn't work. And wherever it
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: has taken root, it has destroyed people. It has destroyed. Freedom,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: is destroyed, economies, destroyed everything it touches. There's a trend
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: that's a disturbing trend in the other party where socialism
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: is taking root. It's up to the good people, the
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: vast majority, to saying no, we're not going to let
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: these weeds grow and we're going to put it to bed.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: And sometimes you have to experience it in real time
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: and in reality to sort of say no, we don't
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: want it. And that's my prayer for the city and
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: the others in the last week we saw a bunch
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: of socialists winning the Democratic primary. Not good. So I'm
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: confused because we're not a socialist country. We're not Canada,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: we're not State New Zealand, where a democratic republic. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: don't even understand the whole concept of this democratic socialism.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: It just doesn't. It is so antithetical. And to do it,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: and for it to be antithetical, as you're saying on
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: our two hundred semi quincentennial, makes no sense at all.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: It makes as little sense as listening to people from
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: my own party, from the Democratic Party, turned around and
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: say Trump is hijacking America's two hundred and fiftieth.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: No he's not.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: How's the hijacking. You're not gonna hijack my party. You're
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: not gonna hijack what's going on in America. Look at you.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: You're hanging a massive, massive flag there in Staten Island
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: on the Arizona Donald Trump involved in that? Okay, why,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: by the way, why not? Who wouldn't, right, I don't
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: care who the president is. It's always an honor to
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: have the president there with you. Not, according to you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: the far left, absolutely not. If Donald Trump is there
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: he's ruining the party. If Donald Trump decides that he
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: wants to create something for people, and the fair over
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: there at the Great Mall's no freaking good. The stupid
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: thing is that're working. There's no food there. Some of
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: the states decided not to show up. Shame on the
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: state that doesn't show up. You're not showing up. It's
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: not Donald Trump's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. It's the
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: United States of Americas. And we have to understand we
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: are all Americans. We should be celebrating this together, hand
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: in hands across the country, not turning out trying to
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: chop off the other guys.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Michael, it's a movement that's going on right now, a movement,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: and the people that are coming out to vote are
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: ten percent of the population in those districts, which means
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: that no one came out to vote other than white,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: crazy young to be right.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: By the way, did you see in the Colorado on
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: the Democratic Socialist who one fifty nine thousand votes? Seriously,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: that's like the number of people I have in my
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: LinkedIn Well, because you know why, you know what I mean? Tail,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: when you know you know.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: When you know, yeah, and there's no excuses for peace
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: people that there's no excuses for people that won't come
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: out to vote.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: You don't get.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: The Jewish community needs to learn a huge lesson with
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: this socialist uprise here in New York City.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: They did not come out to vote, and that was
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: the problem some of ita What happened?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Are you talking about the vote with the slash mayor
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: vote no?
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: The congressional elections. Nobody's gone, you know about where is.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: It Australia New Zealand where people get penalized if they
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: don't vote?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: In an ancient Greece?
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah? And what was what did Plato say about voting?
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Vote early?
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: And was Chicago?
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: And I think if I remember what he said is that, uh,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: if you don't vote, you're gonna end up with.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Bad candidates or something.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: That's what it was.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Very it was very eloquent. And it was told me
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: the other day and you know who told me, Oh
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: my god.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Does not mention this guy here again. But what we're advertising.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: President Trump's mission to me was to get Curtis out
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: of the race.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: And I've said this publicly already.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: And his mission was he was that to get Eric
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Adams out of the race, and he accomplishes mission.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: I failed the president.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Here's the quote. Here's the quote by Plato. Why one of.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Them's people were also giving money to Curtis.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the guys. That the guys. The guy doesn't know
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: which way to roll the body.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Quote.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: not to vote, is that you end up being governed
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: by your inferiors.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: That yeah, and that we're in that position, but you
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: also have to call out what these policies are people.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: There's one of the candidate two won there was I
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: was watching an interview and she was asked the question
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: about she was upset with pre check when it comes
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: to flying, and her response was, let's nationalize the airlines.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: It's just like insane, right, you're upset with one little
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: thing with a private company. And their response as well,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: we should nationalize the airline industry. And as long as
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: people when they're told those things, when they're told what
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: they truly stand for, most people will be rejected and
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: perhaps they will be get engaged and will come out
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: and vote. And it's up to the ninety percent who
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: don't show up, who just some of them just you know,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: they get up in the morning, they go to work.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: They're working all day. They got families, they got kids,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: they got a little league, they got dance or whatever.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: But at time eight o'clock rolls around, all they want
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: to do is sit in the couch. Every single every
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: single American should have should have it in. I agree,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: it's your one obligation to do. You know, seventy million
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Americans didn't vote anymore, right are you New York? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: I voted. Seventy million Americans chose not to vote in
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: the general election. They could not stand Donald Trump, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: they would not vote for a black woman. And you
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: say to yourself, huh interesting, you really can't figure out
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: which candidate you think would be better for this contry.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: I haven't encountered people on the street, well, they don't
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: even register to vote, let alone. And I actually take
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: a position. I said, you know, people died, men and
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: women died in the army and the Navy, Marines. What
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: have you there for? They died for your that right,
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Just do something to participate.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: You got on the phone Congresswoman Claudia Tenny from the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: twenty fourth district of New York Congress. Any we've been
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: talking about that.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: That's right on the border of Canada. Right, Yeah, my
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: home man, Native Land.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: And I take credit for putting Doug band from Ontario
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: together with Congresswoman Clordia Tenny who her territory borders Ontario. Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: Well, good morning. I had a great conversation with Doug Ford,
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: and he is all for improving relations with US and Canada,
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: New York and Canada. So and funny, we're both in
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: the same business. We're both in the printing business. So
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: but anyway, that's the future.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Congresswoman. We've been talking about America to fifty obviously, that's
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the that's the big topic as we get into the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: July fourth weekend and today is the federal holiday. You know,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I think unfortunately for a lot of people living in
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the five boroughs, Staten Island being the exception, they're not
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: even paying attention to this. That's really really really disturbing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, and or or they think that the time
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: of the birthday is the time to air all their
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: a grievances. That's like, you know, you have a child
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: is not doing well in school, not doing so well.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: The party is not the time to say all the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: bad things about your kid, right, I mean, what are
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you seeing up in your district? Are there a lot
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: of events planned? And are people excited about it?
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah? Actually my district is full of excitement. People are
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: really into it. There's all kinds of events going on.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: But look, I was there for nineteen seventy six, you know,
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: with the Vice and Tennial. I remember how exciting and
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: fun that was. And people are really into it, and
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: I think there's a lot going on. I'm actually in
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Washington and there's a lot going on here. There's people
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: all over the place in spite of the really really
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: hot weather. But I think what's happened is over time,
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: and I hate to blame our education system, but we've
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: lost the ability to teach our children.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: You know how.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: Lucky and grateful we should be for having this country,
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: and you know, you always have to I think, remember,
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: you know what Ronald Reagan said, You know, freedom is
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: only one generation from extinct, and it doesn't come in
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: our blood, veins, our blood. We have to fight for
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: it every generation. And I feel like we maybe you know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: sort of dropped the ball on that. So many kids
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: do not really understand the greatness of this country, and
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: they don't understand that people are coming here from all
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: over the world because they want to. They're escaping tyranny
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: and other systems that don't work as well as this one.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: And we know this one is imperfect. We're always trying
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: to improve it. But that was the vision of our founders.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: And I worry that people just you know, have decided
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: that you know, their their grievance based they complain that,
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: you know, everything is imperfect. They're not willing to fight
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: and strive. And I have to tell you, I remember,
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: you know, stories listening to my dad who his parents
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: came in and met on Ellis Island, one from Scotland,
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: one from Germany, and they, you know, they couldn't wait
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: number one to get to work.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: Their brothers would go to work.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: And they wanted to get to work, and they were
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: only eleven years old. They couldn't wait to join the
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: navy or join the army and.
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: Get excited about it.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: It was like it was a complete honor and a
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: privilege to have this opportun t unity. And I think
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: that there are a lot of people that do feel
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: that way. But I feel like some of the people,
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: especially in some of the I hate to say Bluer areas,
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: you know, really have this grievance mentality, and they really
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: don't realize that. You know, you've got to take advantage
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: of it. You can't be a victim. And my dad,
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: who is always you know, came from poverty, would say,
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: never be a victim. Always feel grateful for what you
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: have and what you could have if you only work
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: a little harder and try a little harder. And I
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: just I'm grateful for him. I'm glad I have those
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: values passed down to me. But I don't think a
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: lot of these young people are getting those values passed
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: to them.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Because Congressmen, I hate to say it, but grievance cells.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: People have learned how to not just weaponize grievance, but
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: to monetize grievance, and that I think is one of
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: the biggest problems that's out there. It's always easy to
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: find a scapegoat. It's always easy to turn around and
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: to I don't know, to promote this hate, especially especially
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: when by doing so you're actually profiting fy financially from it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: To a guy, I listened to a guy the other
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: day on TikTok. I listened to this guy the other
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: day on TikTok I was blown away talking about he's
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: a complete anti trumper to the nth degree, literally turned
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: around and saying that he himself is saving democracy. He
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: had about six hundred people on with him. He's saving
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: democracy with his six hundred people right by sitting there
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: and trashing the president of the United States. Look, we
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: have lost those days of tip O'Neil, where you can
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: have a disagreement with somebody and yet afterwards you go
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: out and you have a bite to eat or a beer.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: You know, you can have a different point of view.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: I actually believe that that's healthy for a democracy. But when
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: you start attacking the other side for having that difference
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: of opinion, that's when you lose your democracy and you
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: end up with this nonsense like what we have here
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: in New York at this democratic socialism.
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: Congresswoman, well, I think it's Marxism. But I'll tell you,
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: I'll give you just an anecdote for my life. I
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: used to spend a lot of time overseas, and I
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: spent a lot of time in the former Yugoslavia, which
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: was a communist country. You know, some people like to
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: say socialists, but it was communists. If you disagreed. You know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: with the leadership of the of the Communist Party, you
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: ended up in a barren island in the Adriatic Sea,
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: and you know, or in a work camp the same place.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: But here's the interesting You remember, my friends used to
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: say to me, you know, you guys are arguing, you
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Republicans and Democrats, You're basically arguing over how to get,
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: you know, to the same goal. You know, we all
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: care about helping people are truly needy.
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: We care about.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: Helping our small businesses. We want to give people opportunities.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: All those things are are what we used to all
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: believe in generally, But the question was how we get there.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: And my friends from Yugoslavia used to say, we don't,
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: you know, we don't we disagree, especially here and in Europe.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: On we have a communist versus a capitalist versus.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: These are our parties are.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: Taking down the entire system. And then you know, we
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: don't believe in the system you're in. But the problem
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: we have in America is that we have this system,
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: which I think is not perfect, but it's the best
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: that we've ever had. And we have people that have
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: now come in to these democratic socialists who I think
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: are Marxist communists, people who are very ignorant. They can't
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: make a plausible argument why they want what they want.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: But they're talking about tearing down the Constitution of the
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: United States, which those of us in the majority mostly
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: are celebrating, this idea of freedom and individual rights and
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: self governance. They're talking about those things that would destroy
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: this country and this constitution that believe in those things,
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: And I don't think they really understand what democracy means.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: I don't think they understand a constitution or republican self governance.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: I don't think they have the statesmanship and the fourth
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: and the thought that went into this and the yes,
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: the political battles that our founders went through to come
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: up with this constitution. This didn't just they didn't just
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: put a bunch of things on paper. They fought and
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: argued every nuance of our Constitution and every nuance, by
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: the way, the Bill of Rights, which is very nuanced.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: And they did this because they wanted to get as
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: close as they could to preserving freedom and also recognizing
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: we created a federal government for security against our enemies,
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: for national defense, for border security, because you can't live
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: in this experiment that we have without having secure borders
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: and people that believe in the same thing. And that's
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: what the Communists are doing. On our two hundred and
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: fifteenth fiftieth anniversary. What a terrible you know, I say, ohmen,
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: to see all these communists coming in who want to
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: destroy our country after only two hundred.
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: And fifty years.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: Congressoman Clodia, I want to destroy the constitution.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Congressoon Claudia, Tenny, and you know I'll do you. Unfortunately
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: one better on that. I think these people, and it's
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: been shown with this Act Blue Scandal and some of
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the other follow the money operations that they are being
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: funded by our foreign enemies. And I want to let
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: everyone know listening that you have a son whose active
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: duty Marine Corps officer the United States Marine Corps. The
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: very people that your son is protecting us from in
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the Marines are funding these candidates. This is not this
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: is not an opinion. This is objectively true. Now this
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: has to be frightening you.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, of course, yes, it's a great day. I'm
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: actually going to spend some time with my son who
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: lives in Virginia. He actually works in an intelligence agency
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: as a major in the Marine Corps. He works on AI,
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: of all things, artificial intelligence, and he's getting a master's
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: in it as well. But boy does he know what
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: the threats are. And the threats are. Look, we have
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: become so poorous and allowed our foreign entities to get
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: in and the look the Chinese are here. They're gaining
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: ground on us in so many ways, you know, whether
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: it's through TikTok, social media, buying up farmland, there's so
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: many things they're doing and we're sort of a sleep
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: of the switch in many.
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: Ways that we fight it.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: You know, a lot of people don't seem to care,
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: but that monetizing things and this the new media, the
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: social media we didn't have before, is really a device
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: for making money. And I think people need to understand
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: all this fraud abuse in wasteter saying is a lot
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: of these things. For example, in la we had a
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: whistleblower come to us.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: We broke this out.
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: I was just talking to medmanas you know, the.
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: Other day, about this issue where.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: These Russian actually a Russian cartel, a Russian organized crime
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: company came in and took advantage of our system because
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: in California they weren't paying attention. They weren't giving oversight.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: Between twenty one and twenty twenty four, while everybody was
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: home instead of going to work, they literally took tens
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: of billions of dollars away from us in just one
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: county in the United States. And that is what has
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: been happening. And it's they're monetizing everything they can monetize.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: As you say, this grievance and hate and it's sad.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, don't I think we have to find, you know,
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: inspirational people who are out there showing there is a
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: better way, because this doesn't end well. I lived in Yugoslavia.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: It didn't end well. People were, you know, nice and
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: hospitable and everything, but they.
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: Waited in line.
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: They didn't have access to good services and products. And
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: look today I've been watching this. Look at Zoron Mondami
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: and the Democrats who have actually delibered it, deliberately cut
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: down our ability to have abundant resources when it comes
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: to energy, which we have and are rationing.
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: This is this is the rationing of collectivism that you're
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: seeing under Mandami, and this is what it ends up being.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: There isn't enough of everybody else's money to give to
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: people unless they're adding to their society and their community
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: and the economics of it.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Congresswoman, it's so enlightening to hear you. This is Fernando Matteo.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: I have a show here on WABC called No Excuses.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Michael Cohen is here with us. He has a pro
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: that will start next week just before mine.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: It's uh who when you know? You know?
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: When you know you know? And then we have Jake
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Jake Novac like that. She excuses better, I know, but.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: Like both of them. I will tell you my I remember.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: I'll set my father, who was just a wonderful guy.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: I grew up in a little northern New Jersey and
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: then ended up in Steing, New York. I always thought
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: one of the greatest things you ever said was to
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: me was as a lawyer as well, and he was
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: a judge.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: He was Supreme Court justice.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Actually was in New York City all the time and
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: loved it. His He always said, no, what you don't know,
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: and that'll help you a lot in life. And I
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: see so many people every time I see these members
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: of Congress, you know, getting out there and saying silly,
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: stupid things, and then they make money on it. You know,
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: everyone should like know what you don't know?
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: For you?
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: But then after me is Jake Novak, Jake, what's the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: name of your show?
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Freedom to fifty The Decisions that made America a special
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: show We're doing throughout the rest of the year.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: When I'm like a paragraph, well, veto listen.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: You may be called you may be called in.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: You know, you never know, child, I'm by myself at
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: five o'clock.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I'm on the five o'clock show this afternoon.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: I hope you call in that, Claudia.
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: Well, yeah, well hopefully it's good.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Well, by the way, thank you. By the way, please
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: tell your son we thank him for his service to
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: this country. You know, It's one thing I constantly remind everyone,
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: starting with my children, to you know, to friends, and
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: then even when I'm on my my substacks or my
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: other platforms, I always say, when you see a police officer,
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: just thank them for their service. When you see someone
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: in uniform, just thank them for the service. It's so easy,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: and you be shocked how memorable it is to them,
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: because thanks to them, our constitution exists. Thanks to them,
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: we're able to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: of this great country and you're right, there is no
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: country that even comes close. So let's just stop all
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: beating up on each other. And so Michael, you will
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: say a few words kind a question for them. And
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: I'm just curious. I was probably to serve back in
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: the nineties and two thousands, and I noticed a trend
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: from when I first got there to what I left
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: that there was a lot of collaboration. There was a
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: willingness to work together across the aisles. Granted, the media
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: always focused on the negative and people hated each other,
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: but most members of Congress truly had a desire to
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: work with everybody, with each other to your point about
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: a goal, a shared goal, and how do we get there?
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: And I saw it drift. I'm curious, congresswoman, is what
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: is the mood in Congress these days of working together
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: across the aisle to chiefs common goals.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: I think it's very prevalent. I mean I serve on
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: the Ways and Means Committee, which I think is a
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: very bipartisan committee. I think this is where the issue
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: is that we work on many bipartisan bills.
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: We do a lot together.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of Democrats who and quite honestly, the
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: Democrats are terrified of what's happened with these these communist
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: Marxist types getting in. I mean, they're very worried about it.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: It's it's it's you know, they're but but you know,
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: none of them are standing up to them. They're all
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: endorsing and moving on and just looking at them as
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: sort of an aberration. I think the problem comes down to,
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: if I have a bunch of bipartisan bills, it's hard
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: to get them to vote for them on the floor
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: when they ultimately get there, because there's someone on the
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: far left. We have narrow majorities and someone that does that.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: And I will say, you know, it's it's also, uh,
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: you know, Nancy Pelosi was very partisan on the partisan
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: I did it. I actually use Claude AI. I admit that,
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: but it's kind of interesting. I always say the female
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: version is Claudie. It was named after me. But you
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: know I did. I had Claude do a search on partisanship,
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: and it actually showed that the Democrats are more partisan
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: that we are, that we tend to reach across the
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: aisle more than they do. We want to compromise, we
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: want to have good will and like for the one big,
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: beautiful bill. There are so many provisions in that were incorporated.
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: Those are you know, bills that we are bipartisan.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: I had four or.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: Five myself that were incorporated into that HR one, you know,
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: the president's big tax cut bill last year, that were
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: bipartisan and they got passed and been Democrats were thrilled.
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: But did they vote for it.
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: No, because it was perceived as.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump's bill, so they're not going to vote for it.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: And this is where the issue is. And I think,
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: you know, the Republicans, certainly, we have our divides, and
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: we all were always more diverse than the Democrats. But they,
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: even in spite of their diversity, they tend to stick together.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: We don't, you know, we have a lot of people
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: that won't stick together and you know, bring us over
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: the finish line with a lot of bills.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: Which this week proved.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: But I do think there's a lot of bipartisanship. I
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: do think I don't know what it was like in
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: the past. I think people work together, maybe a little more,
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: but we do have a lot of that bipartisanship going on.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: And I was, you know, one of the things that
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: I started, well, like I was happy to join. It
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: wasn't start was started by ex Speaker Mike Johnson in
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: my freshman year. It was a commitment to civility with
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: Republicans and Democrats in our freshman class. And it was
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: about working together, bringing the temperature down, you know, doing
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: things together, getting to know each other. And you mentioned
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: Tip O'Neill. We had a group that it's kind of
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: have to. We've sort of lost a few members, but
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: we have to because they've left for whatever reason.
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: But we also had a.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: Group called the Reagan O'Neill Club, and it was a
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: chance for Republicans and Democrats and equal numbers we'd get
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: together and just purely social means. It wasn't some fundraising dimmick.
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: Like a lot of these groups are.
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: It was just to get to know each other, to
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: know that, you know, we have families that we have
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: similar missions. We just have to get back to where
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: you know that. And it was a great club to
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: be part of and we got to really, you know,
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: get some more meetings going on. And it's been kind
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: of a strange year to be perfectly on the slide.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about some good news. Congressman Claude
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: as any from from the twenty fourth district in New York.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Western New York, I believe is the best way to
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: generally describe it.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: It's central, central.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: And western, so you got a lot of regions and Sonier,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: you know, southern tier. I mean, you know, we've known
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: about the economic challenges that that part of New York
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: State have faced for a long time. But I am
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. You know,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: these regions now because of the cheaper electric power when
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochel isn't ruining it, we should have abundant energy
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: resources from there because of Niagara Falls and things like that.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: We're seeing investment in that part of the state in
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: some ways, in big ways. And I and I, you know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: we've been talking about the statistic there are twelve hundred
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: new millionaires created in this country every single day last year.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: That was the stat you know, give us, give us
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: some you know, we we're talking about our great history,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: in our great past. But I'd love to hear your
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: your optimistic thoughts about the future.
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Well, actually, my district is historically incredible. I mean, just
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: when you look at the region of upstate New York
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: as we go to the two hundred and fifty of
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: the anniversary amy and we have just so much that
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: was part of our history and our founding from all
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: these great, great leaders. We also have the Erie Canal.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: We have, you know, great history. When it comes to
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: the civil rights movement, the Abolitionist Hall of Fame is
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: up in my region. You know, Frederick Douglass Road is
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: store a star. These are all you know, Harriet Tubman's
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: home is up in my region. I mean, these are
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: all amazing parts of our history that come a little
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: late than two fifty. But when it comes to what's happening,
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: I think people have recognized we have abundant resources. We
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: have beautiful, abundant water that's clean. We have the Great Lakes,
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: we have Erie and Ontario. We also have the Finger Lakes.
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: We have a lot of opportunities. We don't we get
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: harsh cold weather, but we typically don't get the other
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: kind of you know, major weather events that others get,
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: like you know, hurricanes and major droughts. And we have
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: a lot a great working force and people that love
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: the communities, and we have beautiful places to live. And
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: I think what's happened though all a lot of people
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: have come out of the cities, whether it's Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo,
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: in those areas and have moved kind of into the
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: rural areas, which is what I represent, and that's where
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: you're seeing all this opportunity. And I do see a
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: lot of people really in spite of the New York
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: State legislature and the terrible economic policies coming out of
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: the legislature and by the way, energy policies. Remember something.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: We have Niagara Falls, as you cited, all of the
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: operational nuclear power plants, which you know provide emissions free
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: baseload power, are in my district in New York twenty four,
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: so they're all here.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: They shut down Indian Point down down in the city,
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: which actually you know, near the city, which brought the
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: baseload power to New York City. And we have all
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: kinds of resources and things that we can use to
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: use for those power to the power grid. But you know,
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: New York City is dependent on natural gas.
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: To operate its power grid.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: We aren't. We only about thirty percent dependent on fossil
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: fuels because of our nuclear and our solar and also
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: because of because of the hydropower coming from Niagara Falls.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: But you know, this is one of those things where
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: we have great opportunities. Micron is actually growing there. They
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: just we broke around earlier this year. That's going to
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: be really important for our security. We have a lot
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: of other companies up there.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: And by the way, so why don't people, by the way,
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: why don't people talk about Micron? Why don't they talk
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: about the groundbreaking?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Real only at the twelve percent, so why don't they
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: talk about Most people, if you speak to them, they
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: do not know that they broke ground.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: People turn around and say, well, Trump's got these trillions
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: of dollars that is supposed to be going into the
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: development of new business and so on. And they're like, well,
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: where is it, what's going on? I didn't know that
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: they're breaking ground? Why not? Why don't they grow? Oh?
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Well, look it was a big event. You had it
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: at Syracuse University and they're building and putting it should
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: have been done three years ago. But of course, you know,
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: we worked really hard in the One Big Beautiful Bill,
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: the Basic Act, which was my bill, was enabled them
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: to get the tax credits they needed to build it,
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: and we needed the tax credits because we wanted the
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: incentives for them they only could get it. They had
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: to build it in New York, which is critically important.
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: We have the water, but remember the day that we
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: grow broke around the day after, you know, the environmental
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: is sued because they don't think we should be They
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: think we should be composting and living in huts, you know, right.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Well, sadly most people don't know about Micron, you know.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: And the two it's the biggest development and upsetting it.
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: And think about this. We need to be have the
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: edge in China. We need to have the memory, We
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: need these kinds of chips that are there. Uh, and
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: it's it's really important. And you know people are fighting
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: the data centers when you guys talk about China and
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: overseas influence. These data centers are going to be critically
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: important for AI and our infrastructure and our security. And
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: there's better ways that we can even make them more efficient,
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: use less energy. But there's all kinds of lives being perpetrated.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: And I guarantee you they're coming from overseas, much like
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: the kind of propaganda that was coming via you know
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: to be a Russia and others that wanted to shut
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: down our natural gas industry and upstate New York. The
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: Petroleum Institute proved that this there was outside influences, not
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: American talking the Democrats into shutting down natural gas explanation
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: in twenty fourteen, which really hurt New York Congresswoman.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: What's even worse than that? And I talked to Bonnie
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Brady all the time. Who's those windmills that the Democrats
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: signed off on that is part of the Norwegian government
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: that outswatted the Democrats and in signing that's going to
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: cost the New Yorkers two to three hundred more for electricity.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well this is and we are seeing these and.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: Destroying our environment.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: Besides, right, by the way, the gifts, the biggest gift
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: that we have in New York is we have natural gas.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: Nothing has brought down emissions more effectively and more quickly
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: than an advent of natural gas. Yet we're prohibited from
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: exploring the and taking advance of the Marcellos and Utica
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: Shelle that we have all over you know, the southern
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: tier and into the parts of up state New York.
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: It's a tragedy really, because I mean even Obama's EPA
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: administrator said, you know, natural gas was safe, you know,
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: but now because of these hard liners and the Democrats
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: in Albany, they continue to not allow us to get
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: natural gas, which which would be an incredible opportunity for
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: New York for businesses. I mean it would, really, we would.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: We would actually have an opportunity to re assert ourselves
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: as the empire state. And you know we're not doing
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: that because of these crazy, you know, far left environmentalists
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: and the influence coming. I think that and I think
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: you guys are right. I think it's coming from foreign
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: governments because they don't want us to compete. They don't
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: want us to not stop buying you know, solar panels
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: and win components from China, and it's all big dependent
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: on Russian right, you know, gas and oil.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: It's all a big con in the wholy environmental thing.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: And well, it would take hours to discuss the environmental stuff.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, we should all be careful and take care
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: of the planet Earth. But there are reasons for everything happening.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: And I'll just tell you, well, Michael, what do you think?
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, look, I'm with you on that. If
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: you're unhappy in New York, you have the ability to
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: pick yourself and move to New Jersey. You can move
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: to Florida, you can move to out of the country, Italy, France,
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: makes no difference. You can't leave Earth. So we have
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: an obligation to future generations to provide them with at
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: least an Earth that can sustain human life, clean water,
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: clean air, and so on. But we have technology today
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: that can actually help. So yeah, I'm hearing from people
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: that many of these data centers are extremely noisy and
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: loud in a certain area. Fine, let's use technology. Let's
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: use our capabilities to ensure that people who live in
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: the area are not living in areas that they can't
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: sleep because of the humming noise. I get it. I
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: totally get their frustration. But to stop progress simply because
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: you're not willing to, I don't know, invest in the
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: technology to have the data centers or whatever else is
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: necessary in order for us to become more independent, I'm
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: with you. We should be building solar panels here in America.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: We should have our own data centers, we should we
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: should be manufacturing this stuff here in America as opposed
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: to these cheap imitations that we're constantly buying. And it
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: just puts our national security. By the way, in jeopardy.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: The fact that all of our chips are technically coming
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: from Taiwan. This is a problematic. Michael, can I say
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: a word always?
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: Thank you?
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Michael, Michael, Welcome to Michael is four point
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: five four billion years old. What's gonna change nothing?
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: Earth?
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Not nothing. So you know when people talk about Earth
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: is gonna change Earth. I mean when I was a kid,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: we used to get eighteen inches of summon.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you two cents, two cents of a
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: thing of the environment. People says the CO two went up,
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: But the planet Earth is a living being, the planet Earth. Yes,
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: And why did CO two go up when you have
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: seven billion people? Now you have eight billion people. The
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: planet Earth makes more CO two. You know why?
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: Because you have to flush the toilet.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: No, billion flush.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: Just would you listen for a second.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: I'm listening.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: I'm okay to be able to grow more plants to
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: feed the people. That's the and the planet Earth has
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: made that decision to do that. And all the people
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: that say about, uh, we're gonna run out of oil,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: the planet Earth makes the crude and the purpose of
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: the crude oil is to move the plaques among among the.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Planet earth atonic plates, tonic.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Plates, and what fracking in Oklahoma. If they're taking out
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: too much crude at one time, that's what causes the earthquakes.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: So everything in moderation.
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: By the way, the interesting thing too is you don't
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: have to worry about earth running out or humanity running
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: out of it running out because here's the funny thing.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: Technology has replaced the necessity for oil. We can actually
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: go ahead, not one hundred percent, but you can go
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: electric and soon they'll have hydrogen. I mean, they'll always come.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: There's always a genius out there that's going to come
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: up with some other alternative source. I would say, I
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: think what the congressman congressman has to deal with on
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: a regular basis is this notion that you're either for
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: the environment or again, you know, you're either or. And
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: the fact is it's a balance. You know, you got
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: to balance the reality of life, economics, making progress versus this.
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: How do we protect the environment if you will, in
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: the right sort of way. And I'm guessing, Congressmoman that
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: you come across people who don't want to hear that
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: there's a balance to anything it's you can't do this,
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: you can't do that, you can't do that, you can't
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: do this, And I'm curious, do you see that on
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: a regular basis when we're talking about the political nature
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: of the world.
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: I think the biggest problem we have is people have
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: access to they're bombarded with media, social media of every kind,
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: decentralized media. There's no one source. It's not like you
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: have three channels and everybody watches the TV or whatever.
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: They're just getting all this information at them and they
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: don't know what is true and what isn't and people
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: like you, you know, you can be dragged down by
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: propaganda down a rabbit hole and say, well, you know,
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: this is what's happening, instead of looking at really what
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: the science is or the counter argument to some of
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: these things. And that's what we don't we don't have.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: We don't have a counter argument or you know, a
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: sensible view of these things, which is what we really need,
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: because that's what we find where you know, people and
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: they find out the truth, that they find out the
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: facts and find out that this is just some even
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: an AI generated you know, piece of our document they
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: see and it's very compelling or it meets it meets
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: them in some emotional way, and they're like, oh, you know,
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: that's how people are making decisions, not based on science
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: and critical thinking, which is what I think we've lost
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: a lot in our schools, is that we've become this
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: everybody's got their their faces and their phones and their
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: computers and and we're not out, you know, experiencing the world.
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: And really, you know, I just feel like that's big.
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: I owned a newspaper, so I think people aren't thinking.
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm very suspicious of everything. I get things
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: all the time, and a lot of times I just
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: send them to overder. My son, I go, is this real?
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: Where is this from? And because he's just so good
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: on computers. He was a computer science major at the
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: Naval Academy. He's you know, works at the Naval Research Lab.
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: He's like, AI, can.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: I have his number? Because I'm technologically challenging.
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, sometimes he does stuff to me. You know,
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: this is what we deal with with our children. He'll say,
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: just turn it off and turn it on.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: The old boot method. We need, by the way, that's
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: what we need in this country, a reboot method.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: You know, Congresswoman, we have a situation up in New
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: York here, Vito, and this is something I'd like to
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: hear your comments on. Is Rikers Island, Okay, the shutting
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: down of Rikers Island. My show is going to be
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: focused on that. This Sunday between six and seven pm.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: I have a warden coming in. I have a former
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: inmate coming in and we're discussing Rikers Island because I
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: think it's in the city that has billions of dollars
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: in deficits.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: These jails are going to cost. The new jails are
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: going to cost.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Probably twenty billion dollars by the time they're built, and
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: they want to want to We don't have it, but
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: then you they.
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: Want to and they want to put the jails in
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: a neighborhood near you.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. So this is my observation. Somebody spent half
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: my adult life in the private sector and half my
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: adult life in the public sector. Those on the left
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: create these notions of utopia, knowing that the goals are unrealistic.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: So they'll pass legislation that says we're going to meet
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: these carbon CO two measures and these carbon net neutral
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: all this junk, knowing that they can't attain it, and
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: they jam it down people's throats and business owners and
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: they know they're unattainable. And likewise the Rikers island. If
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: you want to improve the conditions of prison or jail,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: and then so be it, have that discussion. But why
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: would you shut something down and then embark in Fernando
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: I guarantee they say twenty billion, it's sixty billion. That's
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: the way this world works, and it's foolish. They grab
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: some concept, they grab some idea, and they won't let
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: go of it. They will not step back and say,
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: you know what, maybe we over maybe we overreached here,
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: maybe we went too far. I see it all the
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: time in local government. Some folks in an agency make
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: a decision and they're unwilling to take a step back
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: and say, you know what, maybe you make a good
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: point here. Let's reevaluate that. In the private sector, you
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: go out of business. John would know better than anyone.
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: If he ran that his business is like that, he'd
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: be out of business. But because John is an amazing
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: man and an amazing businessman, he won't do it.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: You know what, what's his name? Said the guy who
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: owns Amazon. He says, if I ran my business, if
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: I ran my.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: Business like the city's running.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: Mears, you'll get your delivery in three weeks instead of
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: twenty four hours.
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: Six No, no, he said, to get deliveries in six months. Michael,
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: did you spend any time a Righters Island? No? No,
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: And I've actually never even been there. But I can
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: only turn around and tell you I understand the point
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: that's being made about Rikers Island. You can't build something
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: in nineteen sixty and expect sixty years later that in
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: capital improvements are not needed. There are definite capital improvements
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: that are needed. Shutting it down that may not be
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: the answer either. And I can only again use my
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: first hand experience when I was in Otisville in upstate
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: New York. That property was built, I believe in nineteen eighty.
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: They didn't put three freaking cents into the place. The
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: doors didn't close during the winters. It was forty degrees inside.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: We froze. I tried with this guy, mister Diamond, who
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: was the head of the of construction, and he was
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: just a wonderful guy. We tried to fix the heating system.
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: We got it to a trickle where where our beds
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: would be during the winter. The cold because we're three
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: thousand feet up in the air forty degrees inside. It's
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: not human. We'd sleep with two pairs of socks. You
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: would sleep with thermals, sweatpants, you're outdoor pants, a thermal
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: t shirt, a shirt, a sweater, your ski jacket, a hat,
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: and gloves. That's how everybody slept because it was no matter.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: You could not keep that place. That's not the case
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: at Riker's eye. My point is, My point is capital
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: improvements are needed. Yes we know that, and that's and
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: that's it, So use the concept. The problem is you
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: don't have somebody who's competent to go around and to say, listen,
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: you don't need to tear the place down. This is
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: what you need to do. Here's the budget for it.
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: Be like I am, or what I used to be
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: for Trump, where I had a very sharp pencil and
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: you were a fixer, right, and I would go in
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: and I would say, listen, all you need to do
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: is to fix it. Fix the fix the problem. You
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: need to to straighten out the doors, you need to
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: make sure everything is sealed. You need to make sure
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: that the heating system works. A heating system. Instead of
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: spending twenty a heating system to do it there. Let's
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: say it's five million dollars. It ain't. It ain't a billion,
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: and it ain't twenty billion. The problem is the fraud, waste,
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: the abuse that goes on the Department of Corrections, the
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: Bureau of Prisons, the people. It's not the place. It's
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: the people. It's not the place. Listen, you're right.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: It's the period to please listen to no excuses this
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Sunday between six and seven, so that you can hear
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: it from the warden, from one of the guys that
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: used to run the prisons there.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: Right as I I have a question for the congress woman.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: Do you think the House will will remain in the
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: Republican hands in November?
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: Yes, I'm not so certain about the Senate, but I
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: think the House will.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Really that's an opposite take. That's an opposite take for
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: most people. A little bit of breaking use here.
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: Look, we've got I think we're gonna we're gonna gain
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: some seats and we're gonna lose a couple of incomings.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Likely a little bit of breaking news here. While we
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: were just talking Mayor Mom, Donnie delivered his Address America
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: to fifty address, and there was a particular paragraph in
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: there that I think was written by someone who thinks
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: that the movie Stripes is American history. There's a funny
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: scene in Movie Stripes for Bill Murray says, you know
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: why we're Americans because our ancestors were kicked were the
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: losers who got kicked out of every other country in
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: the world, Which is a joke, that's not the truth.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: He almost basically immediately parrots that, exactly parrots that nonsense.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: This is what mayor Mom Donnie said. For generation after generation,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: we have been told, I guess maybe by Bill Murray,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: that when the world has sent its people to our shores,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: it has not sent its best. I never heard that.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: I never heard that from anyone. I never heard that
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: we were the only the losers came out. I heard
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: that the smart people came here, the risk takers came here,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: the ones who didn't want to live in the dead
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: end world of Europe or other parts of the world.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think, you know what's amazing, speech writer
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: watch Stripes and thinks that's American history.
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: You know what's amazing the fact that he could even
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: say something like that, because at the end of the day,
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: after two hundred and fifty years, and we're a relatively
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: new country. We are economically the strongest country in the
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: history of mankind in technologically, militarily, we are the strongest
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: and the best country in the history. So if a
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: bunch of losers managed to accomplish such an incredible thing
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: in such a short period of time, I'm happy to
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: be called a loser.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: But I'm happy he's not saying they're losers. He's saying
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: that they that America was told they were losing. That's
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: not true. America is told, Hey, these people are going
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: to do the work for us. These people are you know,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: for example, during the Civil War, they would come off
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: the boat and they signed them up for the Union
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: right there, right then and there. I don't know what
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: he's talking about here, unless he's trying to take a
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: shot at President Trump for saying that some of the
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants that came, like the ones when he spoke
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: about in twenty fifteen, were criminals. But he was talking
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: about illegal immigrants, and he wasn't saying that that was
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: most of the immigrants. But of course, again we all
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: know that. But this has been the twist, right right.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Vita Visla satnamberbas that they've been twisting his words in
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: the beginning.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: They twist his words and they hate sadly and tragically,
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: they just hate.
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: They He obviously isn't talking about all these people that
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: came in for the World Cup and were, you know,
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: amazed by barbecue. They were wonder if they like everyone?
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: How if you've ever been to a Bucky's, I mean,
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: you got to be like, wow.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: This is the irony there, congresswoman, is the people have
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: been apologizing for their perception of what this America has
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: been all about. So it tells you how much they're
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: being brainwashed in their own countries by their media about
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: how they're taught that America's been and they come here
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: and they see for themselves what all our ancestors did.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: This is the land of freedom and opportunity if you
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: want it. There were those who come here and give me,
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: give me, give me. It's it's fine. You guys are evil.
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: I have the grievance I'm a victim. Or you come
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: here and say I can't count my blessings enough. And
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: the number of opportunities. And they came from places in
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: southern Italy, in Ireland, after the famine, but when they
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: had nothing there and they said, there's one place where
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: we can grow and make a family and be better
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: off than we are here, and they took a risk.
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: They some of them didn't see their families again. And
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: there are a handful of people who have everything in
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: the world in their pocket and their home and their mansion,
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: and they hate this country. On the two hundred and
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: fifty anniversary the Declaration of Independence, when the people back
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: then said enough is enough, and we are willing to
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: stake our whole honor and our fortunes to break away
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: from those who are doing us harm. Thank God for them,
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: and thank God for this country.
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: I agree. I'm reading Washington a king.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: By the way, that's going to be one of the
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: mer decision. That's right, you know what I mean. By
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: the way, and kudos to Lynn Manuel Miranda and the
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Hamilton Musical for making a special song and point about
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: President George Washington's decision to walk away from power. You know,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: I've talked to people from political scienceists all the way
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: down to psychiatrists, or all the way up to psychiatrists,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: whichever way you want to rank them, and they all
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: say the same thing, that walking away from power is
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: harder than giving up money, that that is actually the
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: hardest thing to walk away from, and he did that.
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: You know what's amazing, you know, truly, the fact that
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: you can no longer have just a conversation with the
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: other side. It's literally on both sides of the aisle,
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: the fuf fall left in the fluff. You cannot have
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: a conversation. It's either I win and you lose, or
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: you lose an I win. It's I've never seen anything
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: like it in the history of this kind of the
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: divisiveness is I don't think it has ever been. But
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: I would say this to Jake's point too, and to
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: your point, Michael. You know, the digital concept was limited government.
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: If somebody was elected to the House of Representatives, maybe
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: they saved two years, they were a farmer, they went,
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: they spent a few times in a few weeks, maybe
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: in the nation's capital. Limited The government is so powerful
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: and so huge that many people who've been elected don't
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: want to give that up, so they'll do anything they
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: can to remain in power, to control those power. The
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: trillions of dollars that flow through the federal government that
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: find its way into every inch of this country. People
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: don't want to give that up, so as a result,
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: they will do everything they can to destroy the other
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: side to stay in power so they can control those
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: purse strings.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: You just to piggyback on the power thing here, guys,
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: I must tell you I've had the most amazing four
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: and a half hours.
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: I feel like if I need to be vocrowed onto
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: this chair because I don't want to leave, but I've
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: got to leave.
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: We are so improved.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: We went a half hour over time on John.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: John, I gotta give it to you, man. You put
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: together an amazing team here today. Jake is always the
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: brain here. This guy knows everything. And he's lived in
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: every state, Okay, every state, every city, every college.
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: He knows it. Michael, it was an honor to meet you.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: I am so happy that you're gonna be part of
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: our family. Yes, and don't worry. We are going to
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: have a full press on President Trump to get you
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: your pardon.
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: And once that happens and you get close to the
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: President again, if you leave me behind, I will find
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: you and I will take you down.
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: I promise.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: But listen, I'm leaving I'm leaving the power, the power, Mike,
• 55:56

• 57:05
  Speaker 1: There's two towns over for me in massive Peakle I'll
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: go over to I'll get him.
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: Lots of pizza, mats of pizza. Is an interesting area.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: Everybody there is half Jewish, half Italian.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Not anymore. Your wish community is gone. I can tell
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: you that community. It's no longer lots of pizza now,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just pizza, pizza that someone else's.
• 57:22
  Speaker 5: I want to hear.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: We have a Clodia attending congress woman on right now,
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: and Clodia, what do you think I have a question
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: for the congressman I mentioned and feel free to disagree
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: about the whole concept of power and what folks who
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: will want to do.
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: To retain it in d C.
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: And is the federal government as a.
• 57:43
  Speaker 6: Whole you know? I think that's true in a lot
• 57:47
  Speaker 6: of cases. I think people get used to the uh,
• 57:50
  Speaker 6: you know, the I don't know how much they feel
• 57:52
  Speaker 6: or I mean, I don't sit here and think, oh geez,
• 57:54
  Speaker 6: I'm in power. I sit there and think what can
• 57:57
  Speaker 6: I do to help my constituents a small business owner?
• 58:01
  Speaker 6: And what can I do to help them against the
• 58:03
  Speaker 6: onslaught from Albany. It's just how I every day I'm like, oh,
• 58:06
  Speaker 6: here's another problem to solve, or a person. It's almost
• 58:09
  Speaker 6: like a practice of law for me, where you you know,
• 58:12
  Speaker 6: all these problems come in every day and you've got
• 58:14
  Speaker 6: to figure out how to solve them, and you try
• 58:15
  Speaker 6: to put the pieces together and you try to do
• 58:18
  Speaker 6: what you can for them. So I don't sit there
• 58:19
  Speaker 6: and think I'm lording over somebody. I mean, it's just
• 58:22
  Speaker 6: not that way. But I think other members, you know,
• 58:25
  Speaker 6: they become a staff driven. You know, some of these
• 58:27
  Speaker 6: people that stay forever, you know, they get like their
• 58:30
  Speaker 6: staff just they keep jobs for their staff, and their
• 58:33
  Speaker 6: staff just kind of go on and they go in
• 58:35
  Speaker 6: and they you know, they don't really you know, it's
• 58:38
  Speaker 6: become a way of life as opposed to what do
• 58:40
  Speaker 6: you do after? And I think that tends to happen,
• 58:42
  Speaker 6: you know. I'm I don't understand why how anyone can
• 58:46
  Speaker 6: do this job for as long as some people do,
• 58:47
  Speaker 6: to be honest, but.
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: You know the reason why they're doing leadership.
• 58:51
  Speaker 6: Well, if you're in leadership, I guess you you know
• 58:53
  Speaker 6: you you you are, you know, getting power and everyone's
• 58:56
  Speaker 6: like walking around. I know it with my dad, you know,
• 58:58
  Speaker 6: every time he walked in a room, everybody stood up,
• 59:01
  Speaker 6: you know, and you know, I think that it ever
• 59:03
  Speaker 6: went to his head. But I think that that can get.
• 59:04
  Speaker 7: To your head.
• 59:05
  Speaker 6: But for me, I just look at it as all
• 59:07
  Speaker 6: my constituents. I give them my cell phone, they call me,
• 59:09
  Speaker 6: they text me, and my staff is phenomenal and I
• 59:12
  Speaker 6: love it. As long as I can still do those
• 59:14
  Speaker 6: good things for them, I mean, I'll still do this,
• 59:16
  Speaker 6: but I mean I'm always looking at what I could do,
• 59:19
  Speaker 6: what else I could do that, because you know this,
• 59:22
  Speaker 6: there's other people that would come up through the ranks
• 59:24
  Speaker 6: and we need to turn that over. But I don't know.
• 59:27
  Speaker 6: You tell me why do you? I just don't think.
• 59:29
  Speaker 7: It's it's a lot of people leave.
• 59:31
  Speaker 6: And by the way, the Republicans and people don't realize this.
• 59:34
  Speaker 6: In the House have term limits on leadership. And did
• 59:38
  Speaker 6: you know that two thirds of the Republicans that are
• 59:40
  Speaker 6: serving today in the House of Representatives were not here
• 59:44
  Speaker 6: in twenty seventeen to vote on the original Trump tax cuts.
• 59:47
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, so when you ask why, when you ask.
• 59:53
  Speaker 6: Why term limits on leadership?
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So when you asked why, it's very simple. We
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: were talking about power before. The power is intoxicating, but
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: it's also money in politics. It's this when you start
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: talking about, for example, Nancy Pelosi, and I'm a guy
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: who worked very, very hard for many years in multiple industries.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: I had yellow cabs. I work seven days a week
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: from four in the morning to eleven eleven at night
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: for seven years straight without a day off. I had
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: my own law practice going at the same time I
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: had real estate going. I understand, I understand everyone's desire
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: to make money.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 5: I truly do.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: But explain to me, because I can't figure it out
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: financially economically, how somebody who makes as a member of Congress,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: say three hundred thousand dollars a year, manages to in
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: X number of years put away off to the side
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: over one hundred and fifty million dollars. I just don't
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: understand it. And I do understand the concept of in trading.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 6: If it were for the economy going up, I would
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 6: have a lot less money, because here's we make a
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 6: hundred seventy four thousand First, Secondly, you have to make
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 6: I have a home in of state, New York, and
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 6: I have to also pay for an apartment down here
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 6: in one of the most expensive cities, which, by the way,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 6: only recently do we get a little bit of a
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 6: credit for that, we get some reimbursement, but they add it.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 6: It's a strange thing. They add it to our income,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 6: so we pay more in taxes. So, you know, you
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 6: really don't get much of a benefit. In my first
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 6: couple of terms, there was no benefits. So the only
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 6: way I can think of how people get rich is
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 6: they have, First all, I don't have a spouse. They
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 6: can run things through their spouse, or they can eventually
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 6: when they get out they can make money. Or in
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 6: most cases, most of the people that are in Congress
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 6: are rich already by the time they get here. And
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 6: some don't even take their pay. So this whole thing
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 6: where I watch it online, congress members don't contribute to
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 6: Social Security, and Congress members get their pay for life,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 6: you know, once they're retired. Not true, Not true at all. Actually,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: the New York State retirement system is much more generous
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 6: and much better.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: Well specifically, for example, like the about Nancy Pelosi, who's
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: I'm just trying to figure out how somebody manages.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 6: Still her husband makes I mean, she her husband makes
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: a lot of money.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: It's off of stock trades. It's off of this ridiculous
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: that you could trade that you inside or trade, which Nancy.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: Whispered to her to her husband at three o'clock in
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 5: the morning.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: Right, she was doing while she's sleeping, by the way,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: by the way, million dollars. Can she gets some teeth
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: that fit her mouth. I'm sorry to be so petty,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: but when you're very.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: Wealthy, don't be personal.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: Don't I'm sorry. I'm sorry though, when you're very wealthy,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: and that's assignmental illness, when you're not taking care of yourself.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 5: And don't be I'm sorry, don't be.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: All right. I'm right though, I mean, but it's but
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: it's wrong that insider trading non as well.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 6: To be honest with you, I think that there must
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 6: be members that are taking advantage of thinking. I don't
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 6: the insider trading thing. You know, they went after Dan
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 6: crunch Out, for example, who was trading you know, five
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 6: hundred dollars or one thousand dollars, and they said he
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 6: got rich off insider trading. He did not. But there's
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 6: we're very we're prohibited from doing a lot of things.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 6: You know, you'll see members that'll raise a lot of
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 6: money in their campaign accounts, but you can't really translate
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 6: that into something until you're out of Congress, and even
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 6: when you get out of Congress.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: I was reading in the New York Times. Congressman, I
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: was reading the New York Times, for example, like Dan Goldman,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: one of the congress members here in New York. I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: think he was rich what he was from. I believe it.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: He's the one of the heirs to levi Ice. But
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: he was like top five in terms of stock enrichment
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: while he was in this in his position.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 6: But what kind of insider trading did he get. I'm
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 6: not saying you sit.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: On the committee and you know who's getting a contract.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 6: I know I don't have access because boy, if I
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 6: could have bought Micron three years ago, after all the
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 6: work I didn't get them there. You know, there's tax
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 6: credit and everything. They might would have loved to have that,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 6: but I mean, I don't have any of that. So
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 6: and I've never I have a person who's my lifelong friend,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 6: who basically is my I don't have a lot of money,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 6: but he's, you know, my financial guy. I've scratch and
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 6: clog for everything I have and trying to save and
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 6: by the way, it costs me money I have to
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 6: spend you know, close to three thousand dollars a month
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 6: just on my apartment, which is more than my mortgage
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 6: in upstate New York.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: And so I mean, Jake, I'm Jake sitting here. Bought
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: Mike fun at one hundred and it went to twelve hundred.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: Who told you?
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 5: Who whispitting your ear?
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: Jake?
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. I mean.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: I'm not a.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Financial advisor, but I'll tell you something. If you think
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: AI is going away, you're wrong. If you think AI
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: is going to be the same thing like the dot
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: com bomb in two thousand, you're wrong. Let me tell
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: you something has everyone. And I can say this without
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: worrying about conflicts of interest because I'm not going to
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: mention any individual stuff.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: Folks.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: This AI thing needs chips. They need tremendous chip capacity.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: And it's one thing. If you were talking about some
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: flying a fly by night company like Cosmo dot Com
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: back in the dot com these are established chip companies
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: that are meeting this massive demand. I don't think it's
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: over I don't think it's overbought. I don't I understand
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: there's going to be some some bubbles here and there,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: but I don't think they're massive. I think this is
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: a clear supply and demand issue, and if it's an
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: established company, so I'll name all the Micron Technology and Vidia, Intel, Qualcom, Broadcom.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: These are established chip companies. This isn't some ramshackle thing
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: that just started at someone's garage. So to me, that
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: was why it was an obvious investment.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: That's why.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 6: No, it's it's really, it's really and I don't. I mean,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 6: I don't know enough to trade in.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 7: The stock world.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 6: I just I have a guy who just like grew
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 6: up with me, and he probably mostly looks like I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 6: have mutual funds and things like that.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 6: I really don't have any aggressive investments of any kind.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 6: And I do think I don't. Like I guess some
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 6: people might have an inside track on what could work,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 6: but you know, that's hard to prove. But you know,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 6: the other thing is we have laws in place for
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 6: that if you're insider trading, so I mean, you can
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 6: bring a case for that. I mean a lot of
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 6: people love it. It's like an easy thing to say, oh, well,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: you know these members of Congress, you know.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, I just I think.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 6: I don't know if we really get that much information
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 6: that maybe some people do. Maybe in leadership and in
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 6: unique positions. I serve on the Intelligence Committee. I can
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 6: tell you I don't get any insider track on any
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 6: of this kind of stuff. And I'm I'm sitting there
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 6: looking at the all the secret squirrel stuff you know,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 6: every day, and I got some opportunities.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 7: I just see us. We got to get we got.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 6: To get our act together and come together.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 7: We're going to get buried.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 6: By China and Russia and all the you know.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 7: The Asia is.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 6: They're striving and emerging nations that you know, see our weakness.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 6: And I think we have to wake up. And this
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 6: is a great opportunity to do that. We're in our
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 6: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 7: Let's wake up.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 6: Let's like work together and move on to to be
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 6: bigger and better and positive. You know, this negativity and
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 6: communism is not the answer to us, you know, striving
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 6: and winning the future.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: I have some.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: Breaking news here because I'm now looking at the transcript
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: of the speech that Mayor Mom Donnie just gave. Oh
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: my god, I'm looking at some of the subse and
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: and he really.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 5: Breaking at home.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna read some quotes because they haven't turned around
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: the sound bites yet, and that's because some people are
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: actually taking this break of a day of a holiday,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: of a federal holiday. But uh, first of all, I
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: want the headline to me is exactly what we were.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about for four hours. There are plenty
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: of things to criticize about America, but this is inappropriate time.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: The July fourth holiday is an inappropriate time to make
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: a speech where you do a laundry list of not
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: only criticism of America, but slander. There's a number of planners.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: So here we go. First, he says, we see a
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: lot of contradictions. We see a country where children go
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: to sleep hungry while the first world's first trillionaire hungers
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: for more. We see monopolies that dominate every industry and
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: oligarchs who buy elections. I guess his election was body won,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: didn't he. We see masked agents terror our streets, eating
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: in unmarked vans. I see in America in a health
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: insurance industry that exploits the sick. I guess this is
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: for Luigi Mangioni. But that is not all that I
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: see when I look for America I also then he
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: also said he said something nice. Then I see in
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: America in corporate land or corporate landlords for whom negligence
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: is a business model. I see in America where we
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: spend our tax dollars on bombs and bailouts, where we
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: sell our elections to the highest bidder. Strange thing for
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: someone who just wanted an election to say, no, it's
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: not appropriate to list those things today. This is like again,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: like you have a you have a five year old
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: son who maybe doesn't clean up his room, maybe he
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: was slow and toilet training his birthday party in front
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: of grandma and grandpa and all his friends. Is not
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: the time to mention those grievances. And at the wedding
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah, I mean or the funeral. I mean, honestly,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: this is this is incredible. These people cannot spend a
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: day where they say something nice about America and only
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: something it's.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 6: Not even I think it's not even about nice. It's
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 6: all about race, gender, class and divisiveness. That's the that's
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 6: the the rules for Olenski. I mean, our country was
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 6: about unification, it's about you know, individual rights and about
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 6: bringing us together. What what brings us together? The concept
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 6: of freedom, the concept of of inspiray, inspiring work, and
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 6: being able to pursue happiness, not guarantee it. I just
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 6: like everything they stand for. I don't know how some
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 6: of these communists are going to come in and actually
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 6: do the oath of office and put their hands on
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 6: the Bible or whatever they want to put it on.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 7: By the way, they're they're getting ready for the air.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 6: Show here in d C. That's what all that sounds.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 6: The jets are flying all over.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: The place had yesterday and I live near Jones Beach
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: and there was a super sonic jet that food over
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: my house while I was on the air too. I know,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: I know how you feel, Congress.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: I remember those days.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 7: That operates.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 6: This is this is how they're dividing, you know, they
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 6: divide their devices. It gets you all up set and
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 6: worked up over you know somebody. It's all this politics
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 6: of envy.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: It's everything resentment.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 6: I lived in a resentment. I lived in a communist
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 6: country I felt. You know, it's very once you go
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 6: down this path.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 7: It's very hard to get out.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 6: I still work with all these former countries of Yugoslavia
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 6: and they, you know, whether it's Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Macedonia.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 6: It's very hard to emerge be live in communism, you know,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 6: and be occupied and then live in communism and.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: Then get out of it.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: But the way it.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 6: Really really damages the soul, and they drive and the
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 6: people just expect government to do everything for them, and.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: The ultimate recourse is fear. Right in a republic that
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: we have, it's built on virtue and goodness and working
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: hard and giving back and that should be the goal.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: And a monarchy it's about just doing an honor. But
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: in tyranny and in communism, it's built on fear. They
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: want to scare the heck out of people, and then
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: they want to intimidate you unless you do it their way,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: they'll throw you in the gulag, they'll throw you in jail,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: they'll be you know, they'll do whatever to punish you.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: And these speeches that focus on the negative, it's all
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: rooted in fear and scaring people that the world is
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: going to come to an end tomorrow unless you do
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: exactly what these communists want to do.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 6: How many years left? AOC said we had twelve years
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 6: left in twenty eighteen. What do we have left now?
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, four more years, let me get them out. But
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: you know it's amazing to me.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 6: I sell security right now before the world ends.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, I think it's very fair to turn around
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: and to say, yes, there's a guy who's on his
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: way to becoming the first trillionaire. We are the richest
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: nation in the history of the world. No American should
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: go hungry, No Americans should have to sleep on the street.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: No veteran should ever go hungry and have to sleep
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 4: on the street. And I understand that, and I and
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: I acknowledge that that's certainly a commentary that rings strong,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: and I believe with all American people. However, when you
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: start turning around and then, you know, vilifying an individual
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: because they become successful, isn't that antithetical to America? Isn't
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: that antithetical to what our nation was built on? Going
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: back into the earliest of days, I just don't again
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: understand the mentality. And I certainly understand the younger generation
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: now where they can't afford to live, to buy their
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 4: own home, it's been very different, they say now the
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: average age of the new home buyers is fortys That's
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: why I think it's more than interest rates. I think
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: the cost of construction has gone up, the cost of
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 4: land has gone up, everything has gone up, and I
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: get that, But what Mandani is saying it's just unrealistic.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: It's also an American and I have a problem with
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 4: that as well. So yeah, like what Vito was saying,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: you can have both can be right at the same time, right,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 4: but to put America down for the purpose of elevating
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: your sort of demented ideology, America should never be and
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: will never be a socialist country. I don't care how
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 4: many Mandanis tried to run. Ultimately they will fail, as
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: all socialist countries are technically fatal.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: The Democratic Party has to go through soul searching. They gotta,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: you know, because the Democratic Socialist Party, the Socialist Party,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: if they ran on their own, would get two percent
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: of the vote.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 4: But they stole away.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 5: They're trying to steal away the Democratic Party.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: They're trying to do like what the Tea Party did,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: and the Tea Party failed as well.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, you know, Congressman. One of the things I'm getting
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: is I read through the transcript of the speech, is
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: that it's just so obvious that Zoran Mamdani and it's
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: not surprising a thirty four year old who never had
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: a real job. It's so obviously he doesn't understand America.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: And if you were listening to me now, I would
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: say this, maybe he'll understand this more from someone who
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't talking about someone who wasn't an American. Mahatma Gandhi
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: Mahandas Gandhi was a lawyer in South Africa. He had
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: won some civil rights battles for the people of South Africa,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: and then he decided to go back home to India,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: and they welcomed back to Indian and they wanted him
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: to immediately be a political leader there. They wanted him
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: to immediately take over the whole movement there for independence.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: And he said, no, it's been a while since I've
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: been here. I grew up here, but then I spent
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: my entire adult life so far in South Africa. And
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: he spent years traveling the country, riding the ceilings of
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: the trains there, which is dangerous to do. Don't do that,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: and learning the country again even though he was born there.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Before he started to speak up, you know, Zoora Mamdani,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: he might be thirty four years old. I think from
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: an intellectual standpoint and understanding of America. He might as
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: well be four years old.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: He should.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: He does not understand this country. You know, they they
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: joke about, they joke, they joke at they tease me
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: here in the studio. Because of all the different states
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: of this country that I lived in. I wouldn't trade
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: that for the world. I lived in many different parts
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: of this country, and it taught humbling. It teaches you something.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: This man doesn't understand this country, and he should follow
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: the example of Gandhi and take ten, ten eleven years
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: and ride the rails in this country, or ride in
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: a car and learn what America's about.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 6: I just don't think he genuinely cares. I think this is,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 6: you know, an opportunity for power. I heard when he
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 6: was in the State Assembly. He hardly ever showed up
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 6: to vote, and they said he would say whatever he
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 6: had to say to get the you know, the the
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 6: smile and get the attention. And and you know it's
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 6: he's he's another performance artist, like so many of these
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 6: politicians on the rise. Because you know, Isa, one of
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 6: my good friends used to say, you scratch the surface
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 6: and you get more surface. There's no death to them
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 6: they're not statesmen and leaders. They're people living off.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 7: You know, the grift that that is what has.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 6: Become a lot of our political life here. You know,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 6: it's hard to know who's real, who cares and all that.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: So it's it's you're so right, hung, you're so you're
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: so right, kungsome because think about every single thing today
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: has a commentary to it. So the other day I
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: was watching television and they're showing the outside the south,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: you know, the south view of the White House, and
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: President Trump put up the American bald Eagle, a wooden
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: version of it, attached it, and they started to make
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: the claim that it's visually very reminiscent of Nazi Germany,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: of the Third Right. And again, as the son of
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 4: a Holocaust survivor, I am deeply disgusted by the act,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: by the action in the first part of this show.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: Nine and a half hours ago, I turned around and
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: I said that I'm done with this Democratic Party.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 5: I'm done.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 4: The second I get home today, I'm going I'm switching
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: to the Independent Party, just like more than fifty four
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 4: percent of this country. I'm done. It is beyond ridiculous.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 4: The fact that he put up the American Bulldegle, which
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: is the symbol of America into the BacT. You may
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 4: not like it aesthetically, the next president may not like it.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 5: Good for you.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: Take it down, all right, Just take it down personally,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 4: I don't care. But to turn around and to make
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: the claim that Trump is acting like Adolf Hitler, that
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 4: he's turned the White House into the Third Reich, the
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 4: command center for the Third Reiche, I'm so I'm so
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 4: insulted by the insinuation from these people that I don't
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 4: even know how to express myself anymore. Everything that's done
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 4: doesn't need a comment. That's just my opinion.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really you know, it's tough because really what
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 6: these people need to do is actually travel to you know,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 6: to Poland and go see one of the very first
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 6: concentration camps and and walk through that sobering experience, and
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 6: then now to blithely and easily compare everything to Nazis.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 6: I I went to one of the very first uh
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 6: sorry we got this is their practicing here, hear you find. Yeah,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 6: so you know, I went there, and you know it
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 6: was just one of the most you know, you just
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 6: walk in and you're just your your whole body, just.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 4: Like, well, go to the Holocaust Museum in Washington.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: Ye can't believe and.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 6: Have this they could do this, and and this is
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 6: the camp where they invented the ability to have portable
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 6: gas chambers or they could put them in the truck
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 6: so they wouldn't have to drive people to a site.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm like what I mean, like, how is
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 6: this happening? And here we are today looking at these
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 6: people calling everyone a Nazi and yet you know, advocating,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 6: you know, for anti Semitism and calling people out because
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 6: it's just I've never I don't remember this ever in
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 6: my life, and now I've never seen it quite like this.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 6: And I think because social media exacerbates a lot of
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 6: these things and gives people immediate access and absolute immediate
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 6: access to propaganda, I think it almost makes it worse
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 6: and makes it scarier.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 4: And we have I'm a monetization police. Don't never forget
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: that they monetize this anger, that range and heat.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, a Congressan claude a Tenny. I often
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: tell people that the most important Bible story and I'm
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: not a Bible thumper. I understand it's not for everyone,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: but the most important Bible story for America over the
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: last twenty years has been the story of Cain and Abel,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: which is very often misrepresented as envy and jealousy.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: It's not.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: Cain isn't interested in any of the things that Able wants.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: He's resentful. Able works Able as the first capitalist. He
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: makes an investment. He he gets good return on his
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: investment from God, and Caine looks at it and says,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: you made me look bad. I didn't want to do anything.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to be this. I wanted to be
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: on a subsistence. He's a communist. I just wanted to
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: get my ration and move on, and not you made
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: me look bad by working hard, so he kills him.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: Resentment jealousy actually can sometimes lead to great things. Oh
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: my buddy across the streets got a great car. I'm
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: gonna work harder to get one too. That's jealousy in
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: some ways. Resentment is I'm going to trash his car.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: And that's where we are in America. I think this
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: is the politics. I think socialism and communism has always
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: been the politics of resentment, not the politics of I
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: did one thing.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: Warren Buffett's a long time partner of the late Charlie
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: Munger actually said greed doesn't rule the world. Envy rules
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 4: the world.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And I can live with that. I can
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: live with envy. It's resentment I can't live with. I
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: can't live with the resentment. Envy I can live with.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I think great things come from the.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 5: Well, guys, we've been sitting here for five hours.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: Six for me, not me for you.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: We've been and we're supposed to be here to only
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: to ten. We took over an hour of Brian Killmate show.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: The congresswoman was nice enough to pay with us.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: You over an hour. Thank you.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 5: It's now four minutes to eleven.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: I think we have to give the show back to
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: Brian Killmad at eleven o'clock, at least the contract.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to do that. I don't want to have
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: to go to his house in Massapeak with a peace
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: offering now from it.
• 1:21:22

• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: America for many months.

  Speaker 5: Amen.

• 1:21:51

  Speaker 4: for sella.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: Thank you for stopping bry today and make sure you
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: take care of the great borough of Staten Island. It's
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: a great borough. And by the way, we had to
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: sell out crowd, yeah with the Salah in the stadium
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: in Staten Island, and we had like twelve thousand or
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: fourteen thousand visitors in a couple of days. We were
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: there for the opening day the World And one thing
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: about the World Cup was I want to say two
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: positive things.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: I'm not a negative guy. The World Cup has brought
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: people together. They realize they're much more in common than
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 4: we don't good and that's and that's one. And number two,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: I go back to what I said right the outside.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 4: I spend a lot of times visiting schools, young kids,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: middle school. I was in an elementary school graduation just
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, and the kids were belting
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 4: out the national anthem like you couldn't believe, singing God
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 4: Bless America, like you couldn't believe, doing the pledge of
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 4: a Agians loud and clear. Their parents were there, proud
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 4: of them, taking photos. There is a lot of good
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: across that ison, across this country, and a lot of
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 4: good people and a lot of great people from Statenon
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 4: that love this country and will die for it, and
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: they have died for it, and we got to continue
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 4: to highlight them and not focus on the negative, resentful,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: envious people who want to destroy this country that is
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 4: the greatest in the history of the world. And we
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 4: will win and we will prevail.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 3: The determination is going to have to be the migrants
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: that came here that don't love America.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 5: Why about they have a green cod they just go back.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 4: I don't understand go back.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, if they don't love America, they don't try
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 3: to change our way of life. Michael, thank you for
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 3: being here for five hours and tell us what do
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 3: you think the migrants versus immigrants.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 4: Well, I like your you know, I like your comparison
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: because it's actually correct. You know, there was a big difference.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 4: I'm never been and I never will be opposed to immigration.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 4: And I think all Americans agree with the same thing
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 4: as I said earlier. Immigration. Yes, every country has the
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 4: right to borders, as Trump would say, a country without borders,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 4: quite frankly, is in a country. I absolutely believe that.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 4: I don't believe people should have the right within which
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 4: to just come to the country and stay. I don't
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 4: think that I believe we need immigration reform. It's been
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 4: needed for a long time. There is and I love
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 4: your comparison. There is a big difference and a distinction
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 4: between immigrants and migrants, and I'm in total favor of that.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 4: I just don't particularly agree with some of the tactics
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: that are being used by ICE agents. Now I'm not
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 4: talking about all of ICE agents. I'm talking about specific
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: so I'm not going to call ICE as a whole.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 4: But that's the part where you can have an intelligent
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 4: conversation on disagreement. We all agree that we need immigration reform,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: so let's just agree on what we agree with and
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 4: then work from there. If people come to this country
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 4: and they hate this country, let them go back to
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 4: their own wherever they come from, or anyplace else. It's
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 4: a free If I were to go, if we would have,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 4: four of us were to go to France tomorrow
