  Speaker 4: The President, who's been a life long Nick band. You
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: can see hundreds of pictures of my friend President Trump
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden hundreds is on his
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: way to New York to be there tonight for Game three.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: And my friend stephen A. Smith at this point has
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: distinguished himself as the best sports guy in the world.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: And I say that with people like Chris Russo, Pat
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: McAfee very very good talent, but Stephen A is the
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: best sports guy.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: In the world, bottom line. And he's an incredibly entertaining guy. Smart.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: He's on this show all the time, this show all
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: the time, mostly talking polo. So Steve comes out on Saturday.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And he's like, I do a lot of you. I'm like, oh, whoa, whoa.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: The mayor is going to be there, this liar. He
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: couldn't tell you about Edmund Sharad or Rory Sparrow or
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Lewis Orr. Trust me, he calls the arena a stadium,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: this idiotic mayor. He says he's going to a stadium
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Monday night. He's going to be there, but Trump shouldn't be.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: But stephen A, in his defense, had a pretty good
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: explanation why he said he doesn't want Trump here? And
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: why should I tell you if I can get the
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: great stephen A himself. So what that said here? He
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: is stephen A Smith, Steve Good, Monday morning, buddy, how
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: are you. I'm great, great to have you on this
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: amazing day as two wins away from winning the championship.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: So explain to the folks why you don't want President
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Trump in midtown Manhattan tonight.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Well, you said at all. That's the last point they
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: tell about that. This has absolutely, absolutely positively nothing to
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: do with politics. It has everything to do with the
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: fact that he's the president of the United States, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the congestion that is going to be caused by his
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: presidence disrupts everything and all the momentum that's going on
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: in New York City. You got watch parties outside guarded, canceled,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You got watch parties across town, Central Park, stuff like that, streets,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: avenues being cut off. Why does he come in? I
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: don't give a damn if it was Obama George w
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: but it said, whoever it is, you look at the
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: environment that exists in New York City. You don't show
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: up if you're the president with the kind of stuff
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: that's going on here. It is nineteen seventy three, since
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the New York they have won the title. Donald Trump
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: was twenty six years old. Only queens he knows New York.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: And it's absolutely true, which I pointed out Knicks saying
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: that's where I used to see him all the time
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: at the Knicks games. This is not something Johnny come lately,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: jumping onto the bandwagon, trying to act like he's a
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: New York Knicks fan. He really really is. So this
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: is not about that. And I hope he's listening because
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: he should be ashamed of himself. You got watch part
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: You got people that can't afford tickets. You got a
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: level of momentum that exists with in the New York
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Knicks organization that has never existed in the last fifty
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: three years. It's a fifty three year gap. He was
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: twenty six years old. He knows better. And for him
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: to sit up there in the show up at this game,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the night where his watch parties, this momentum that the
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: New York Knicks built. They come back from a two
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: to one deficit of gets Atlanta, they take them out.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: They up are forty seven in the first half of
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the closed out game. They sweep the Philadelphia seventy six.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Is like they stole something. Then they bombard the Cleveland
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Cavaliers and they go to the finals and just in
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: game one, what Game two with pandemonium already having fomented,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: but the city raised in a way that most people
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: haven't seen in their lifetime. In this city, this man
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: is gon choose to come to this game.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I'm going to push back to watch parties and everything,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna I'm gonna push back on you. Hold on,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I'm just.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Gonna say this. You don't give me the mayor. The
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: mayor ain't wasn't no traffic, Dame, No, he's not. Nobody's
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: worried about me and Mom, Donny, No, he's not in
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: facting watch parties. He's not bretting to ruin all the
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: momentum that the New York Knicks fair base has built
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: over the last several weeks. And that's why I bring
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: up twenty six years old, when a child, that tyler
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: that don't know better. He was here when Willis Reed
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: came out of the tunnel. He was here when Walt
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: good Phrazan dropped thirty seven and Game seven. He was
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: here when the New York Knicks said Jerry West, Oh,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: he knows better. He has no business doing this. This
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: is wrong on so many levels for New Yorkers everywhere.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: He should be ashamed of himself, really should.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna push back on the watch party thing. I disagree.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I love you like a brother. I think you're amazing,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: but he should be here. He's a Nick ban tough.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: If you've got to sit outside an extra two hour
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: re stive, you're not getting any sympathy from me.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Tough. You're an NBA Finals game. I don't care. I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: don't care your problems.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: And you know what the criminal do? You know what
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: the crime is with you? I'm talking to you now.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: You know what the crime is with you. You did Radio
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: New Yorker. You're still doing it. New Yorkers know you everywhere.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: You know what it's like. You know what the city
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: has been deprived of. You know it. You know it
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: better than most. You ain't some dude sitting up there
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: living in Florida, no relation whatsoever in New York City,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: in California, York or someplace like that. You know New York.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: You've been here. You understand what this is.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: By the way, you know why the watchpot and blah blahdah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: You know why the watch party's not taking place, saying
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: has nothing to do with Trump. It's the fact that
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: this city you talk about the mayor, Oh no, he's
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: not getting off the hook here. The city has taken
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: on the personality Stephen A Smith of your chaotic mayor
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: who loves when five thousand Prohomas people roam the streets
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: and terrorize New Yorkers. The watch party is canceled, not
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: because Trump is coming.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: The twin Trum, not Steep.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: They arrested twin They arrested twenty six.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: They arrested Steve. No, it is not body Steve. They
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: are hold on a second.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: They arrested twenty six people outside the Garden on Friday
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: night and Trump wasn't here. Not what Okay, that's why
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: the watch parties canceled because New Yorkers can't control themselves
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: because the mayor's an asshole.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: That is not true. Let me tell you something right now,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: believe it or not. Twenty six people in the grand
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: scheme of things ain't nothing. That's number one. Number two.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Let me throw some that you said. You want to
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: get political for a second with your slick self. You
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: understand deviating and evading the subject at end because you
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: try to protect your board. Let me tell you something
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: right now. Do you know that the New York is
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: that the city of New York? You und to say,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: because we all know how petty Trump is, and we
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: all know he's probably sitting back and going like this, Hey,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: they didn't vote for me. They didn't vote for me.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Forty three point three percent of New Yorker's voted for
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Trump in the last election three million, five hundred and
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: seventy eight nine, eight hundred and ninety nine votes. Forty
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: three point three percent voted for him. That was a
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: significant improvement over twenty twenty, where he only got thirty
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: seven point seven percent of the vote to Biden sixty.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: He achieved one of the largest Republican swings in the nation,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: courtesy of New York. And he watched these games. He
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: sees those kids out there, they can't afford to get
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: in the guarden. He sees those watch parties. He realizes
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: the impact that this is having on the city. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: he gonna show up. This is wrong, and you know it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Give me some Palestinians and Mam Donnie and politics tucking
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: basketball talk to sports said, you ain't no young spring
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: chicken no more. You were old enough. You were born
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: before in nineteen seventy three. You know better. You know better.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: He's got Laura Lazzo, He's got the White House, he's
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: got best misster in Jersey, he got a whole hostel places.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: You don't have to be in New York. You're the president.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: You're the president. This is a once in a life.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Did you see Oklahoma City play? Did you know your
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: basketball says? Did you see san Antonio place? You think
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Woby's going someplace? You think san Antonia's not gonna be
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: here next year. You think, okay, he's not gonna be
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: here next year. How about I Houston get some point guard?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: What about what about them, How they'll get your devivd
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Jamal Murray gone disappear? How about Bosston? Jason Tator's will
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: be healthy next year he'll be bad. You understand you're
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: in Cleveland, Haveavaliz might come. Detroit's gonna be better than
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: they wore because they're gonna upgrade. This is probably the
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: lone shot the New York Knicks have of winning the
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: championship for the next twenty years. And I'm here to
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: tell you something right now in your damn show. And
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you this right now, said Rosenberg. The
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: New York Knicks went on the road in San Antonio
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: in won Games one and two. They have an opportunity
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: to close out the championship at the Garden and win
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: their first title in fifty three years. If they lose tonight,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: all this.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, you can where you're going at right now.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: But I'm right now if they because let me tell
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: you something, I don't.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Take you Trump.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: If the Knicks lose tonight, absolutely absolutely, and I'm gonna
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: tell you why. I'm gonna tell you why right now.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Just so you understand you've been to the Garden. See
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I'm talking to said Roseenberg. You could try that nonsense
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: with your other guess all you want to. I know
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: your history. It's in sports. Let me tell you something,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: said Rosenberg. You know that rolling into them, pardon, it's different.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: It's like any place else. I don't know what it is.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Walking into the garden is different. Everybody can't handle it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: You got nicked players. They can't handle the garden historically,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: let alone the business. You know what it means. And
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you right now, when they walk into the garden,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: what are we saying about San Antonio. They're young, they're inexperience.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: They're very, very talented. They can really play, but they're young.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: They don't know any better. They have no idea what
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: they are walking into. It is different. It's not just
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: about the Knicks coming for them. It's the city. They
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: can't leave their hotel room and go for a walking
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Central parkment. They can't go out to dinner. They gotta
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: pseudonyms and disguises and all of this other stuff to
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: make sure people don't know who they are. Because of
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: room service, they got to deal with a whole bunch
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: of stuff. They can't bring their family here. It's not
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: they This is madness in New York City. It's that
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: intimidating that you're expecting their youth, the work of them,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: all the all the momentum is flowing in the New
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: York Liss direction. If this doesn't work out tonight, Trump
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: ruins it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: But if they win, you can give Trump the credit.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: But if they win, you and give Trump the credit.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: If they win, I'll say, Yo, Okay, he didn't have
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: the effect that I expected.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: And let me just say this, And let me say this, Steve,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: it's not that you hold on. It's not that no
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: hold on, hold on. Who should be ashamed of themselves?
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: It's not me. I didn't sit road. Sid Rosenberg is
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: not the guy that won. Hold on sid Rosenberg. Sid
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Rosenberg is not the guy who invited Trump wants Trump
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: to be here. You're not gonna like this, Stephen A. Smith.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: The two guys that wanted Trump here, that made toy
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: was invited are Jalen Brunson and Tat.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: What are you gonna tell them they wanted me here?
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I would tell them that is a very stupid decision.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: On their part at the start of the team.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Let me let me tell listen, you asked me a
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: question to give you this. You had to say why,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: because you're not thinking about the city. The city and
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: the people that have solved for this all this time.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: The city doesn't want him here. It's not because of politics.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I don't want to hear all of that. It's because
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: of the confusion and the congestion and the mayhem his
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: presidence is going to cause, as would be the case
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: for any president, because that's what the presidentcy security, Secret
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Service Detail and why D and all of this other stuff. Look, man,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: it's a lot, so much so that it's going to
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: deprive It's going to deprive New Yorkers, many New Yorkers
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: of the experience of a lifetime that, by the way,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: they may never get again. Because it's the nixt we're
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: talking about.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: It fair.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: You don't do this, Okay, you don't do this. Don't
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: it's wrong.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: So tomorrow morning, So tomorrow morning, when I'm watching Sports
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Center and I see a picture of Stephen A. Smith
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: shaking Donald Trump's hand, what are you gonna say? Then?
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Excuse me? Let me tell you something. I would listen.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: First of all, let me be very very clear, I'm
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: a grown ass man, and I would never I would
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: never disrespect any president by refusing to shake their hand.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: If they wanted to shake my hand, I certainly won't
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: look to shake I certainly won't look for him to
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: shake his hand.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: You want, You're going right up to that box. You're
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: texting Dolan right after this conversation.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Promise you, no, no, no, I don't do that. I promise
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that because
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I'm that serious. I'm not joking. I think that he
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: is in the way that he has no business at
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: this game tonight, and it has absolutely nothing to do
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: with positive. If somebody said to me they don't like
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: this positive, I say, shut the hell up, grow up. Okay,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: seventy seven million people voted for him, Get the hell
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: over it. That's not what this is about. This is
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: about a once in a lifetime experience for New Yorkers
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: who have waited fifty three years for this moment. He's
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: one of them. He's a New Yorker, a New York
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Knicks fan who is forty six years old when the
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Knicks last won the championship. What the hell are you
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: doing showing up to this game? You have no business
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: doing that. It's selfish, it's thoughtless to New York Knicks fans.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: He has no business at this game because he is
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: the president. I'd say the same thing if it were
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Barack Obama. I'd say the same thing if it was
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Bill Clinton, George w damn it. If it was back
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: in the day and after it was the fifty three
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: year drought, and it was Ronald Reagan, I'd be like,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: what are you doing here? Why would you think? Why
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: would you do this? You have no business doing this.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: It's wrong. And it's that every place is not New York.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Some other places got space, you know, it's not as
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: congested and stuff like that. This is it's Midtown Manhattan,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: it's Madison Square, Garden. Man. You can't do this to people,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: to New Yorkers like this. It's wrong on so many levels.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: It's thoughtless, it's selfish, it's wrong.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I just got a text.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: My next guest is the fame defense attorney, my dear
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: friend of forty eight years. He's listening, he's loving every
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: second of this. Joseph Tacopina. He said, stephen A is right.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I will say this. I can't even get upset with you.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: I really can't, because I know Where this comes from
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: is that you're the probably the biggest Knick fan. You are,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: You're the biggest Nick fan. I know this is all
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: all right, so your second to Spike, But this is
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: genuine love for the team and the organization, genuine excitement
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: and enthusiasm.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I can't even get mad at you because I love Trump.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I want him here.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: I disagree, but I can't get mad at you because
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: I know what's coming from your heart. You really want
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: the Knicks to win, and you're worried about anything that
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: may mess with it.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Anything thing, right, anything, He's disrupting the momentum of the
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: New York Knicks. It's wrongs they I'll tell you right now,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: they bet not lose this game. They better not lose
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: this game. Let he says that right now. If they
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: lose this game, it's on him. It's on him, all right,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: all right? Right now?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Are they going to lose? Are they gonna lose? Are
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: they gonna lose?
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to better on them losing. You know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: they got to this point. They got to this point.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: They're two up. They're going to get us very talented
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: or an inexperienced seam. They should win this game. But
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: if anything goes wrong, you understand I'm pointing the finger
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: at him and for him to rob I mean, just
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: come on, man, new York is you know what the
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: biggest Republicans swing in life forever? In the election, No,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: he didn't windn't the state, but he got over forty
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: three percent of the vote. Over three point five million
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: New Yorkers voted for him. A lot of them with
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: those young kids out there, they can't afford to go
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: into the damn game. And they were having a blazoning
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: give a damn because they had to watch parties outside
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: all over the city. And this man n't ruined that.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: They got to cancel some of these watch parties and
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. Just behind one of the shore man.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: We still have three watch parties. We got three. We
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: got Brian Park, we got Brooklyn Ball, we got woman Ringing.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: You got three.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: You can say that again against it. You hurt yourself,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: You hurt yourself. Don't try that with me, because I
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: told you before, you know new York. You can't get
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: you can't finde that with me. You know New York.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: So you know that doesn't cut it. The momentum, the experience,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: the intimidation and everything that comes with it. You have it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: So what do you think Trump is is Trump doing?
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Is Trump doing a worst time by going to this
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Nick game tonight of what he's been doing in eeron
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: which one is worse for you?
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to compare it too. I'm on the
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Knick right now. I'm focused. You're not getting me to
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: that point. What I'm going to say to you is this,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: it's selfish and knowing him, he's somewhere telling somebody like yourself,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Andy and others, Hey, they didn't vote for me, or
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: what do I hear? I'm not running for reelection. See,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: that's that narcissism, and that's that selfishness. That's what I'm
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: talking about. You're the president of the United States. You're
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: the president for all Americans, even those that can't stand it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: You're the president for everybody. Stop being so damn selfish.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: It's wrong. I'm not playing. It's wrong. He's robbing thousands
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: and thousands and thousands of New Yorkers, most of them
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: youth because you ain't seeing those senior citizens out of
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: these watch parties that loved the Knicks and has had
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: this once in a lifetime experience, and here he comes
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: ruining it because even if he shows up, you still
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: deprive them of the joy that they were experiencing by
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: being outside the gardens and in the places around New
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: York City. And then he's watched that. These kids, why
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: you want to see it because you want to be
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: in the arena.

• 21:16
  Speaker 4: nick man than Spike Lee. Either way, enjoy the game tonight,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: and hopefully we're up three games to nothing and all
• 21:23

  Speaker 1: He really cares. That's the bottom line here. He really cares. So,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: but I don't care about these kids.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: He's half drunk morons and they're out there the delinquents,
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: that's what they are. They bought themselves at forty dollars
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Jersey and they're all junked.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Up and they've never seen anything.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: They know nothing about this team. It's nonsense. They're like
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: twelve years old.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: They were standing on top of Amber.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I know, you look at these faces, are like twelve.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: What do they know about? What do they know of
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Lewis or stop it?
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Well, it doesn't matter about that. The thing is they're
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: out of their minds. That's why the watching.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: They're just trouble makers. I told them that. I know
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: it's not because of Trump. Twenty six people got arrested
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: in this city because they're not there up with the Knicks.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: It's got a point, though. It's gonna just be chaos.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Oh he's right about that.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, imagine they win tonight Wednesday. There's gonna be cars
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: turned over, guarantee.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be about I think we're going out to
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: ruction anyway.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know we're all going to be la in Detroit,
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: and it has nothing to do with President in Trump.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: It's the chaotic city that has taken on the personality
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: of our gi hot mayor.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: If you saw that's what it is, you're right.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: If you saw the posts, man, they're absolutely deranged what
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: they're doing.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, and they were doing it two rounds ago.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: They were hanging off traffic lights and stuff. It's all
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: right to party in the streets, but people are gonna
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: get hurt. They're gonna hurt somebody. They already punched a cop.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: That's right, It's not true. Didn't they punch a cop? Yep,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: that's right.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: I mean you can't you do that and say you're
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: celebrating a Knicks win.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: How does that?
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: How do those things jive with each other?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: They don't do.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: These kids are not Nick fans, trust me. Trust me.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: They smoked the joint. They bought a jersey for forty
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: bucks and are hanging out in the city. So you
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: know what, instead of walking in the Polhammas parade now
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: they're outside wearing Patrick Ewing jersey. Come on, Steve, don't
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: give me that garbage. They're not watching the Nickson trail Blazers.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: In November they know nothing about this team. I feel
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: badly for them. Give me a break. Feel badly for
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: me because I'm not going to be there tonight. And
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: I begged the President ten times the last three days.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Shut up though, that's who you feel.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: We all feel bad for you about that really is
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: you could have gotten in one of those five entrances.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, as I said early on, we gotta
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: get the Taca pinat. But think about this for a second,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: because Steve and a has what about these young kids?
• 23:52
