Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: My friend Vicky Palladino, who's also a terrific staunch soldier
- 0:04Speaker 1: against Mom Donnie. How's this lobato? He stopped coming on,
- 0:07Speaker 1: but he's also still great. But Palladino has been terrific
- 0:10Speaker 1: and she's doing something very special in her district, District
- 0:14Speaker 1: nineteen to smack Mom Donnie in the face. After he
- 0:18Speaker 1: left Little Italy off of that enclave map. He's now
- 0:22Speaker 1: corrected it because he's probably worried that some mobster will
- 0:24Speaker 1: come kill him. But Vicky, you did something very very
- 0:27Speaker 1: cool with your district. Tell my listening audience all about that.
- 0:31Speaker 2: All good morning, said, how were you used today? It's
- 0:34Speaker 2: a glorious summer day. What did I do well on
- 0:37Speaker 2: a whim? Last week? I'm sitting around and I said,
- 0:40Speaker 2: you know what, I want to treat this out. I'm
- 0:43Speaker 2: going to call District nineteen Little America.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Wow, I love this up right there, You're going to
- 0:47Speaker 1: call your district in Queens District nineteen Little America.
- 0:52Speaker 2: That is right, sir, I am officially changing the name
- 0:56Speaker 2: District nineteen Little America. And I want to watch their
- 1:00Speaker 2: heads explode. I think it's a great opportunity. I'm calling
- 1:04Speaker 2: on people feel like, you know, welcoming. I'm going to
- 1:07Speaker 2: welcome refugees from all over the city who want to
- 1:10Speaker 2: live amongst the culture, as the treat says of a
- 1:15Speaker 2: nation that they once knew as the United States, which
- 1:19Speaker 2: New York used to be part of prior to dan
- 1:22Speaker 2: year of twenty twenty six. Here in little America, we
- 1:26Speaker 2: believe in private property, right, home ownership, cars, law and order,
- 1:32Speaker 2: God and the Constitution. And then I went on to say,
- 1:35Speaker 2: which pissed a few people off. I'm considering building a wall,
- 1:39Speaker 2: let me know if you'd like to help. And that
- 1:41Speaker 2: ships a pun. You know, no by guys said anymore.
- 1:45Speaker 2: And I find that even more amusing those who lack
- 1:49Speaker 2: a sense of humor, So have at it. I'm looking
- 1:54Speaker 2: forward to if you cannot believe the responses off of
- 1:56Speaker 2: this Spencer pract even treated me wow, you know yeah, yep,
- 2:04Speaker 2: Ted Cruz has retreated me now in this last week
- 2:09Speaker 2: because what Mom Doddy is doing and you know it too. Uh,
- 2:12Speaker 2: he's trying to operate this city as a soft secession
- 2:17Speaker 2: to the United States. Look at what he's doing with
- 2:20Speaker 2: that backdoor deal with Iran that everybody seems to be
- 2:26Speaker 2: quieting up about when we should be blasting that. Okay,
- 2:30Speaker 2: when his immigration uh whatever, a commissioner went behind his back,
- 2:37Speaker 2: supposedly behind his back to meet with that leader of
- 2:42Speaker 2: Iran when he was here with the UN. And while
- 2:46Speaker 2: we're sweeping that under the rugs FID, this is bs.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Oh no, listen, it is and I know that the
- 2:53Speaker 1: in DC they're not swipping it under the rug And
- 2:55Speaker 1: the lies. I mean this guy like twice last week.
- 2:59Speaker 1: First he lied like you, he said behind his back,
- 3:01Speaker 1: he knew all about it. You can bet your bottom
- 3:03Speaker 1: dollar on that. And then he went on to blame
- 3:05Speaker 1: the little Italy omission on the immigration map on Eric Adams.
- 3:10Speaker 3: I mean, this guy do.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Homework, yes, the doggate my homework routine. Right, he's thirty
- 3:16Speaker 2: four years old. He's surrounded by a bunch of you know,
- 3:19Speaker 2: terrorists or terrorist activists, and you know what, the kid
- 3:23Speaker 2: was sweating bullets when he was in front of that palaton,
- 3:27Speaker 2: you know when he was at the gym and people
- 3:30Speaker 2: asked him questions because we all know that's the reporters
- 3:33Speaker 2: do not ask this man any kind of real serious question.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Oh they're the worst.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Now, come on, whether it's arol Lewis or Katie Honan,
- 3:39Speaker 1: even the ladies. I will you respect people like Marshall
- 3:42Speaker 1: Kramer and people like Morgan mackay Come on, yeah.
- 3:46Speaker 2: No, it's nauseating. And if he is asked a slightly
- 3:49Speaker 2: tougher question he scrambles about. But I watched him break
- 3:55Speaker 2: a sweat and I said, ah, little sweat beating up
- 3:58Speaker 2: on the brow when they asked you about Iran. And
- 4:03Speaker 2: I was like, okay, you could blame Eric Adams all
- 4:06Speaker 2: you want.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Love him.
- 4:07Speaker 2: I hate him that map, trust me, that's all done
- 4:10Speaker 2: by Zoe Ran on purpose. He did what he did
- 4:13Speaker 2: to admit the Jewish community, to omit all communities. We
- 4:18Speaker 2: built this place, and you know between the Irish, the Catholics,
- 4:22Speaker 2: the Jews, the Italians, come on the please and you're gonna.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Tell me Eric, And by the way, it told me,
- 4:31Speaker 1: wasn't the Muslims. As Robert Doby pointed out there on
- 4:34Speaker 1: the show yesterday, when did.
- 4:36Speaker 3: They get you a lot later?
- 4:38Speaker 2: A lot later? Exactly? You know, if I want to truck,
- 4:42Speaker 2: I'll go out and see your muzzles. But that's it,
- 4:44Speaker 2: and I'll probably get in trouble for this. But I
- 4:46Speaker 2: don't really get because enough is enough, we've got a
- 4:49Speaker 2: terrorist sitting in office. And you know, everybody, you've got
- 4:53Speaker 2: the homeless encampment. Now you sort of that up on
- 4:55Speaker 2: the fle West Side. Yes, they're covering that like crazy.
- 4:59Speaker 2: And here goes. I was on Newsbacch yesterday and I'm
- 5:03Speaker 2: going on Fox this morning. And the big thing is this,
- 5:07Speaker 2: who voted for these who voted for this guy up
- 5:10Speaker 2: the West Side, Low, wherever we are in the city,
- 5:14Speaker 2: they voted for this. We'll have at it. Enjoy the
- 5:17Speaker 2: homeless encampments, folks, because you voted for it.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Listen and look, I jumped on the Cuomo bandwagon.
- 5:25Speaker 1: I knew. I knew as well as anybody how Andrew
- 5:28Speaker 1: Cuomo destroyed this state.
- 5:30Speaker 3: He did.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Sorry Melissa, but he did. But I just couldn't have
- 5:34Speaker 1: this other guy win. But the truth is that when
- 5:37Speaker 1: you looked at the choices Curtis Sliva, who has turned
- 5:40Speaker 1: out to be a complete clown, and Andrew Cuomo, It's
- 5:43Speaker 1: not like the choices out there were so great to
- 5:45Speaker 1: begin with them. Let's be honest.
- 5:47Speaker 3: We got to get some better candidates out there.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Oh here we go. Now we're two years the out look.
- 5:52Speaker 2: The election is in twenty nine if that bench doesn't
- 5:55Speaker 2: start to get warmed up. Now, our bench with real
- 5:59Speaker 2: people that could actually do something in this city. There
- 6:03Speaker 2: are businessmen wealthy. This city needs to be run like
- 6:07Speaker 2: a business. We passed one hundred and sixty one hundred
- 6:11Speaker 2: and twenty six billion dollar budget on June the thirtieth. Okay,
- 6:17Speaker 2: what the hell is going on here? Where is the money?
- 6:20Speaker 2: We've got Nick Shirley here and Flushing. I had a
- 6:23Speaker 2: third party go between and I made sure he hit Flushing.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I said, we've got more fraud going on. I got
- 6:30Speaker 2: my hands in six different patsia and would juggle it
- 6:34Speaker 2: between you on the radio. Meet out here. We got
- 6:37Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman Man old Man. Congratulations to Gabe, thank you,
- 6:42Speaker 2: thank you. Bail is fabulous. My god. As a matter
- 6:45Speaker 2: of fact, you're going to put me in touch with him.
- 6:47Speaker 2: They need to get a ground swell going. There needs
- 6:50Speaker 2: to be this is low hanging through said, this is lower.
- 6:54Speaker 1: I know, and you know you say we need to
- 6:56Speaker 1: get a ground game going, and you know I get
- 6:58Speaker 1: those personal messages. Look, I think Bruce is doing a
- 7:01Speaker 1: magnificent job. He's still doing a great job in his
- 7:04Speaker 1: second term as a NASAU County executive. He is all
- 7:07Speaker 1: over the state, but folks are like in neverieve they
- 7:09Speaker 1: don't know what he's talking about. He's all over the state.
- 7:12Speaker 1: But I keep getting those messages at ground game, ground game,
- 7:15Speaker 1: ground game, so and people keep mentioning names to me.
- 7:19Speaker 1: So I'm glad that you'll be involved in that because
- 7:22Speaker 1: we need to do all we can to make sure
- 7:24Speaker 1: that Bruce Plateman wins.
- 7:25Speaker 3: That's the bottom line.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Think he needs thirty three to third sid of our boroughs. Yes,
- 7:31Speaker 2: and that's serious, that's all. That's a hard hall. However,
- 7:35Speaker 2: when you've got what you've got sitting in city hall,
- 7:39Speaker 2: let's think logically here, and you've got what you've got
- 7:42Speaker 2: up state. She's in bed with this little so and so. Okay,
- 7:46Speaker 2: and when he got the bitch, she should win. We
- 7:49Speaker 2: are dead in the wars. We are freaking dead in
- 7:52Speaker 2: the war.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Well, that does venison.
- 7:54Speaker 1: That brings another question for me to you, then, Vicky,
- 7:56Speaker 1: because city council is important. But let's be honest, Okay,
- 8:00Speaker 1: if you want city council members, there's only five on
- 8:02Speaker 1: my side. You'll one of them, thank god, But forty
- 8:05Speaker 1: six against five, and about twenty five of those forty
- 8:07Speaker 1: six are complete lunatics. They're to the left of Bernie Sanders.
- 8:11Speaker 1: So the truth is the city council, despite your best
- 8:14Speaker 1: efforts in frankn Ina and Joean, it's a lost cause.
- 8:18Speaker 1: And David, so my question to you is, because I
- 8:20Speaker 1: think the world of you, when is Vicky Palladino going
- 8:23Speaker 1: to run for I don't know, Congress, state senator, maybe
- 8:27Speaker 1: mayor something, something bigger than the city council.
- 8:31Speaker 2: You know, it is very frustrating. I am I am
- 8:34Speaker 2: mulling over a lot of different ideas, people being people
- 8:37Speaker 2: are calling me. I am mulling over a lot. I
- 8:40Speaker 2: don't know just yet, Sid, but you're absolutely right. I
- 8:43Speaker 2: cannot stay in the city count where I feel useless.
- 8:46Speaker 2: I feel as though but you know, I really that.
- 8:50Speaker 2: The other side of it is my district depends on me.
- 8:53Speaker 2: So and the voice thanks to you and others. You know,
- 8:58Speaker 2: my voice has gone out there. If somebody would have
- 9:00Speaker 2: told me in twenty sixteen somebody actually would want to
- 9:03Speaker 2: hear this voice, I and my husband would have been
- 9:07Speaker 2: right behind you. But because he can't stand. But the
- 9:11Speaker 2: point is, it's time for sense and sensibility here. We
- 9:16Speaker 2: need to get Blakeman, we need to concentrate on taking
- 9:19Speaker 2: over the state House. I don't know as far as
- 9:22Speaker 2: I go just yet, what avenue I want to pursue.
- 9:26Speaker 2: But I play the.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Wind sid yep, I love you.
- 9:30Speaker 2: When I test the water, it's got to be in
- 9:32Speaker 2: a lake that I could swim in and definitely win.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Well.
- 9:35Speaker 1: So well, now that you're talking about lakes, I got
- 9:36Speaker 1: about sixty seconds ago. You're talking about lakes and water, Okay,
- 9:40Speaker 1: And you know I think the world of you. I
- 9:41Speaker 1: just said to you, shoud Rump is something bigger. I
- 9:43Speaker 1: need you in a big spot here in this city
- 9:44Speaker 1: of this state. But I don't know you and Frank
- 9:47Speaker 1: Moranos specifically you two guys. I love Dealey for some reason.
- 9:51Speaker 1: You know you want to take the fish prize out
- 9:53Speaker 1: of the carnivals. I love winning fish at the carnival.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Shut up, you know what I have to tell you.
- 10:01Speaker 2: I know I only got sixty seconds. I'll let me
- 10:03Speaker 2: tell you that we have got major animal lovers, fish
- 10:07Speaker 2: lovers who work in my office. And when this happened
- 10:11Speaker 2: at the white Stone Carnival, okay, whereas these fishes were
- 10:16Speaker 2: being really disgustingly dissected, and they had like twelve fifteen
- 10:22Speaker 2: fish that it was disgusting. And uh my, one person
- 10:27Speaker 2: who works in my office said, recent produce legislation about
- 10:31Speaker 2: this due away with giving away live fish at carnival.
- 10:36Speaker 2: It seems simple enough, right, But when you think about
- 10:39Speaker 2: all my great legislation that I have in right, and
- 10:42Speaker 2: this is what they actually about you.
- 10:44Speaker 1: We gotta we got a terrorist running the city about
- 10:48Speaker 1: giving up fish.
- 10:49Speaker 2: We're gonna talking about golffish. And the funniest thing is
- 10:52Speaker 2: they take that up. My other legislation I can't even
- 10:56Speaker 2: get into committee for this city to listen to so
- 10:59Speaker 2: that I could go on the floor for a vote.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Now we'll bring.
- 11:07Speaker 3: It's funny. Now, it's funny. Listen.
- 11:08Speaker 1: You know you're a treasure. We are so lucky to
- 11:11Speaker 1: have you in Queens. And I meant what I said, Vicky.
- 11:13Speaker 1: I don't just throw out compliments unless I mean it.
- 11:16Speaker 1: I really think you should be in a much bigger spot.
- 11:18Speaker 1: You can be one of the people that actually, like
- 11:20Speaker 1: Bruce Blateman, that can save us somewhere down the road.
- 11:22Speaker 1: So keep kicking ass in the city council and keep
- 11:25Speaker 1: doing a great job. Okay, We love you, We love you.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Get I will, I'll touch it to you right now.
