- 1:03Speaker 3: mentioned earlier, two great shows Kats and Cosby five pm
- 1:07Speaker 3: every weekday, Afternoon Cats Round Table eight am every Sunday morning.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Yesterday the Israel DA Parade. You know the controversy. Melissa
- 1:16Speaker 3: Russo try to get to you. She got to me.
- 1:18Speaker 3: I think I kind of fixed that. At any rate,
- 1:22Speaker 3: the mayor did not show up yesterday, and a lot
- 1:24Speaker 3: of people were upset. A lot of people like me
- 1:27Speaker 3: were not really upset. We don't want him there. But
- 1:29Speaker 3: the truth is he couldn't make a real legitimate argument
- 1:32Speaker 3: while he was not there this parade. John was not
- 1:35Speaker 3: in Jerusalem, it was not headed by Bibing at Tanyajo.
- 1:38Speaker 3: It was in New York City. A lot of the
- 1:40Speaker 3: dopes that voted for this guy actually launched yesterday, so
- 1:43Speaker 3: he really had no excuse. So what are your thoughts
- 1:46Speaker 3: on Maya Mam Donnie's skipping the parade.
- 1:50Speaker 4: I'm disappointed because the purpose of a mayor, in the
- 1:55Speaker 4: job of the mayor is putting a city together, not
- 2:00Speaker 4: ripping it apart. Regardless, you know, you gotta you know,
- 2:07Speaker 4: it's really really disappointing. I saw Mayor Bloomberg was there.
- 2:12Speaker 4: I saw Mayor Adams was there. I don't know it
- 2:16Speaker 4: was the Blasier there. I haven't seen I did not
- 2:18Speaker 4: see him. I him, he was not there. And yeah,
- 2:20Speaker 4: those two right, Bloomberg and Adams, Yes, yeah, and look,
- 2:24Speaker 4: it's the city needs to be put together. And the
- 2:27Speaker 4: same thing with the governor's office. The governor's office has
- 2:30Speaker 4: to be for all the people, and the mayor's office
- 2:34Speaker 4: has to be for all the people. And let me
- 2:37Speaker 4: tell you something, I think Governor Hockel is going to
- 2:40Speaker 4: be suffering because Bruce Blakeman. I think if he if
- 2:45Speaker 4: he goes out there and says, I'm for all the people,
- 2:48Speaker 4: all all all the people and goes to all fifty
- 2:52Speaker 4: what is it, fifty one counties in our state, Yeah,
- 2:55Speaker 4: and tells that all the people count, all the people
- 2:59Speaker 4: in the city, count all the people in Nassau suffer,
- 3:02Speaker 4: count all the people of Westchester count Rockland County in
- 3:07Speaker 4: in I believe in putting people together. And and anybody
- 3:11Speaker 4: that doesn't do that, we're looking. Uh, it doesn't look good.
- 3:15Speaker 4: Look at Jamie Diamond. He was on Maria Baronmo's they
- 3:19Speaker 4: broadcasted from h from California last week. Larry Kudler was
- 3:23Speaker 4: there last week. I was supposed to go with Larry,
- 3:25Speaker 4: but I was too busy here in New York. Yeah,
- 3:27Speaker 4: And the fact is, uh, what the what what the
- 3:32Speaker 4: pulse the pulse of the situation is limiting our exposure
- 3:38Speaker 4: to New York. What does that mean? That means no
- 3:41Speaker 4: matter what anybody says, no matter what, you're here. We
- 3:44Speaker 4: love New York. We want to be here in New York.
- 3:47Speaker 4: But you're not gonna put all how do you said
- 3:49Speaker 4: all the eggs in one basket? No you and uh, Well,
- 3:53Speaker 4: whether it's our company, Red Apple Group or Red Apple
- 3:56Speaker 4: real Estate, we're gonna limit our exposure to New York
- 3:59Speaker 4: or you are.
- 4:00Speaker 3: We're so you're making the statement right now without being
- 4:04Speaker 3: specific about what you're pulling out of what you're keeping,
- 4:07Speaker 3: you are going to limit. You're gonna take some of
- 4:09Speaker 3: your business activity out of New York.
- 4:11Speaker 4: Absolutely, especially the real estate company. Wow, I mean, why
- 4:15Speaker 4: why do you want to Why do you want to
- 4:16Speaker 4: create your own banana peal? You know, let's say the
- 4:19Speaker 4: real estate company over the next two three years is
- 4:22Speaker 4: going to spend another two three billion dollars in building?
- 4:25Speaker 4: Why do it? Why spend that two or three billion
- 4:27Speaker 4: dollars in New York? But it's ten griffinent and I'm
- 4:29Speaker 4: not sure he's gonna spend that money in New York.
- 4:31Speaker 4: He's not going And I'm not sure Jamie Diamond is
- 4:35Speaker 4: going to spend that much more money, You're not going
- 4:37Speaker 4: to So what does that mean at the end of
- 4:39Speaker 4: the day, who does it hurt? It hurts the cab drivers,
- 4:43Speaker 4: it hurts the uber drivers, It hurts the construction workers,
- 4:47Speaker 4: it hurts it hurts the blue collar workers. I mean, look,
- 4:52Speaker 4: if I spend you know, if I spend more time
- 4:55Speaker 4: in Florida or New Jersey or whatever, don't forget. We're
- 4:58Speaker 4: spending our WABC officers in New Jersey right now. We're
- 5:02Speaker 4: in the middle of doing that. We're gonna be opening
- 5:04Speaker 4: up a sales office in New Jersey. We're gonna be
- 5:06Speaker 4: opening up, you know, additional things. So we're gonna have
- 5:10Speaker 4: presence in New Jersey. We're gonna have presence in Florida.
- 5:13Speaker 4: So but I still love New York. I still love
- 5:17Speaker 4: the restaurants in New York. I still love the people
- 5:19Speaker 4: in New York. But you don't put all your eggs
- 5:22Speaker 4: in one basket. And I look, if Bruce Blakeman runs
- 5:26Speaker 4: a good campaign, you never know what could happen. He
- 5:29Speaker 4: can win, and I think he could win. And he
- 5:31Speaker 4: was on with me.
- 5:32Speaker 3: I know, you heard it an hour ago. He's on
- 5:33Speaker 3: with me quite a bit. We see each other quite
- 5:35Speaker 3: a bit. We marched together yesterday's Israel Day parade. Yes,
- 5:38Speaker 3: he's gonna win. I'm gonna give you one example.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, I tell all of all New Yorkers,
- 5:43Speaker 4: all Americans to look at it. And I know, look
- 5:46Speaker 4: President Trump, and he has picked a great team. I
- 5:51Speaker 4: would say ninety five percent of his team is great.
- 5:54Speaker 4: You know you never yeah, listen, batting one hundred, batting
- 5:57Speaker 4: one thousands, heart Yeah, Okay, ninety five percent of his
- 5:59Speaker 4: team is great. Great, and uh but that's what we
- 6:03Speaker 4: need in New York State. Governor Pataki did that, ninety
- 6:06Speaker 4: five percent of his team was great, and uh uh.
- 6:12Speaker 4: What New York State needs is a couple of business
- 6:16Speaker 4: leaders to do the right thing for New York. I'm
- 6:20Speaker 4: gonna give you one example. You're ready for this. It
- 6:23Speaker 4: came up over the weekend. I talked to doctor Oz
- 6:25Speaker 4: about it. I talked to a few other people about it.
- 6:28Speaker 4: Have you talked to Kelly Lafler about it? She's gonna
- 6:30Speaker 4: about Kelly is a terrific lady. You know why, I'll
- 6:35Speaker 4: do a side step. Meanwhile. The side step is if
- 6:38Speaker 4: President Trump is bringing in trillions of dollars in business.
- 6:42Speaker 4: If I'll give you an example, Toyota builds a bigion
- 6:45Speaker 4: dollar factory or something, a billion dollar factory. You know
- 6:49Speaker 4: what Kelly Lawford does and you and she'll verify that
- 6:54Speaker 4: when she's on with you. All the all the small
- 6:57Speaker 4: businesses around that bigion dollar factory. They need support services,
- 7:02Speaker 4: they need hardware stores, they need this, they need that,
- 7:05Speaker 4: they need that, they need coffee shops, they need diners,
- 7:08Speaker 4: they need and that's what Kelly Lauford does. So you'll
- 7:11Speaker 4: take a billion dollar company, whether it's a pharmaceutical company
- 7:14Speaker 4: or whether it's an automobile factory, you build around. Yes,
- 7:20Speaker 4: this is.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Exactly why Jimmy von Braeman and AOC or morons because
- 7:24Speaker 3: when they nixed the Amazon deal in Queen's they ruined
- 7:26Speaker 3: all its stupid.
- 7:28Speaker 4: Stupid, stupid. They're stupid and the stupid because the fact
- 7:31Speaker 4: is she doesn't even know what she was talking about.
- 7:33Speaker 4: I'll do another sidebar. AOC says, Uh, we're gonna take
- 7:37Speaker 4: that four billion dollars, We're gonna give it the Amazon
- 7:40Speaker 4: and spend it someplace else. There is no four billion
- 7:44Speaker 4: dollars or you're doing if Amazon, We're just gonna spend
- 7:47Speaker 4: thirty three billion dollars after they spent the thirty three billion.
- 7:51Speaker 4: After ten years later, they're gonna give him back four
- 7:54Speaker 4: billioning rebates. How much money you have you collected in
- 7:57Speaker 4: payroll tax in those ten years hllion dollars billion, So
- 8:01Speaker 4: you give back a small percentage of the zillion dollars.
- 8:04Speaker 4: You give incentives, incentives to work. I don't want to
- 8:09Speaker 4: forget this one. Ready for this one? Yes, okay, Florida
- 8:12Speaker 4: has twenty four million people. Uh, New York has nineteen
- 8:15Speaker 4: and a half. We stop, We stopped more than them. No,
- 8:18Speaker 4: absolutely used to be double. You used to be the
- 8:20Speaker 4: other way around. Medicaid fraud. Ready for this one. Florida
- 8:25Speaker 4: with all the old age people and all the other people,
- 8:28Speaker 4: they spend thirty three billion dollars in medicaid. How much
- 8:34Speaker 4: the new budget is going to spend on medicaid? New
- 8:36Speaker 4: York State double it. I would feel so bad if
- 8:40Speaker 4: his double one hundred and twenty five billion. Where is
- 8:44Speaker 4: the fraud? Where is the common sense? But where is
- 8:49Speaker 4: the common sense? The sense they're robbing us, robbing rocks?
- 8:55Speaker 4: Pay right? Hey, And unless we straighten it out, you
- 8:59Speaker 4: know it's gonna you know, people are just gonna.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Say, here's how you're straightfor I know that's an effort.
- 9:06Speaker 3: You say it now. I know that you visited mom
- 9:08Speaker 3: Donnie in city Hall. What about two months ago? I missvisited.
- 9:13Speaker 3: I visited his deputy Maya. But if you you I
- 9:17Speaker 3: offered him services. I offer you know, my total quest
- 9:21Speaker 3: for services were I said, a cup of coffee?
- 9:23Speaker 4: That's what was it? Right? But it looks I'm still
- 9:25Speaker 4: willing to help because I want to help. But did
- 9:27Speaker 4: you I'm looking I'm not looking to destroy you. I'm
- 9:31Speaker 4: looking to help me. But did you tell him what
- 9:32Speaker 4: you told me?
- 9:33Speaker 3: This is absolutely you have told him recently that you're
- 9:36Speaker 3: looking to take some of your businesses out.
- 9:38Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure he heard it because I've said
- 9:40Speaker 4: it on Fox. I've said it on all over the page.
- 9:43Speaker 4: Didn't reach out to you, get out? Look, I want
- 9:47Speaker 4: to help New York. If he look he's a smart guy.
- 9:51Speaker 4: Instead of playing the violin, he's playing the violin. You
- 9:54Speaker 4: know what some of these press conferences they do, Some
- 9:57Speaker 4: of these press conferences they do, they put somebody in
- 9:59Speaker 4: the and they put twenty thirty people behind them, and
- 10:03Speaker 4: and in all the New York one Channel four, Channel two.
- 10:08Speaker 4: They broadcasted as if there's everybody's hooray, hooray, it's all acting,
- 10:16Speaker 4: it's all acting. Now I've got another one for you,
- 10:18Speaker 4: and I checked it out. And you know our law enforcement,
- 10:22Speaker 4: you know us, you know our law enforcement in New Jersey.
- 10:28Speaker 4: All these people picketing New York Hall of all Delaney Hall,

- 10:40Speaker 4: I want every I want every American to hear what
- 10:42Speaker 4: I said. Only one was from New York. All the
- 10:46Speaker 4: rest of them are from timbuckto guarantee. Guarantee, I give
- 10:52Speaker 4: you a certification that, well, somebody's paying them. So I

- 11:05Speaker 4: and find out who is paying that. And you know
- 11:09Speaker 4: who is paying that to create this thing. Don't forget
