Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York he still marks
- 0:04Speaker 1: some own show on seven tenor Hey, it's Monday already. Yeah,
- 0:11Speaker 1: I'm afraid so, but it's uh, you know, it's two
- 0:14Speaker 1: weeks from today. Memorial Day is two weeks from today.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Summer begins unofficially. Then, Hey, we'll get a lot to
- 0:21Speaker 1: get to. We'll get to these stupid UFOs. I'm not
- 0:25Speaker 1: that excited about it. We'll get to that. We'll get
- 0:27Speaker 1: to the Hunter virus. We'll get to Iran, We'll get
- 0:29Speaker 1: to China, we'll get to Texas, We'll get to a
- 0:32Speaker 1: crazy Mom Donnie. We'll get to the Knicks and Eurovision
- 0:36Speaker 1: and a whole lot more coming up. As far as Iran,
- 0:41Speaker 1: we'll get to the midterms too. Iran, well, the talks
- 0:44Speaker 1: are stalled, you know what. That's okay, it's hurting them
- 0:47Speaker 1: a lot, it's not hurting us in any way. Oh
- 0:49Speaker 1: that we get a little increase in the price of oil,
- 0:52Speaker 1: but it's nowhere near Biden prices, and we got through
- 0:55Speaker 1: four years of that. And again it's only a temporary
- 1:00Speaker 1: and oil they call it a spike, but it's more
- 1:02Speaker 1: just a slight high can oil. But Iran talkstalled the
- 1:07Speaker 1: latest peace proposal that Iran scent was totally unacceptable to
- 1:11Speaker 1: the US. Basically, they're arguing that we want them to
- 1:15Speaker 1: get rid of all nuclear material, no nuclear or anything.
- 1:18Speaker 1: They're arguing that they should be able to keep at
- 1:22Speaker 1: least a normal, a slight amount of nuclear what they
- 1:26Speaker 1: call their legitimate rights as a country to have some
- 1:30Speaker 1: commercial sort of nuclear. You know, there's nuclear weapons and
- 1:33Speaker 1: then there's commercial grade nuclear which is used for energy
- 1:37Speaker 1: or power plants, that sort of stuff. But again, they
- 1:41Speaker 1: are a very, very oil rich countries, so as far
- 1:44Speaker 1: as energy, they really don't need the nuclear and the
- 1:47Speaker 1: nuclear that you use for commercial is totally different from
- 1:52Speaker 1: weapons grade nuclear material. The commercial stuff is you know,
- 1:57Speaker 1: enriched to about twenty percent, when when it's nuclear weapons,
- 2:02Speaker 1: it's enriched to ninety percent. One of the reasons we
- 2:05Speaker 1: went to war they kept enriching. They had the commercial
- 2:08Speaker 1: grade stuff twenty percent, they started enriching it to forty
- 2:11Speaker 1: fifty sixty, they were heading to seventy percent. They were
- 2:14Speaker 1: an inch away from getting to nuclear weapons, which would
- 2:18Speaker 1: be ninety percent. So you can't let them have even
- 2:21Speaker 1: the commercial grade because they keep enriching it. So that's
- 2:25Speaker 1: not going to work. We'll stall for a while and
- 2:27Speaker 1: at some point it looks like we'll have to resume
- 2:29Speaker 1: bombing attacking. Be a couple of days before anything happens. Now,
- 2:35Speaker 1: the President goes to China at the end of this
- 2:37Speaker 1: week for a couple of days. He might want to
- 2:39Speaker 1: wait until the end of the China trip because President
- 2:43Speaker 1: She of China has a lot of sway over Iran.
- 2:47Speaker 1: That's basically their big mentor there China. So President Trump
- 2:54Speaker 1: meeting with President She, well, that could could get things
- 3:00Speaker 1: done in Iran. She has a lot of influence there.
- 3:02Speaker 1: But maybe Trump wants to start the attacks while he's
- 3:04Speaker 1: meeting with She. That's one Trump negotiating tactic. Do your
- 3:08Speaker 1: worst before the negotiation. Trump's done that a lot. You know.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Sometimes you go into the negotiation, well, if I have to,
- 3:16Speaker 1: I'll threaten to sue. So if that's a good tactic,
- 3:20Speaker 1: what Trump does starts the lawsuit first, then begins the negotiation.
- 3:23Speaker 1: That way, the onus is on you to negotiate away
- 3:26Speaker 1: the lawsuit. So it could be something like that. We'll see.
- 3:31Speaker 1: The trip to China is this week. I heard Curtis
- 3:34Speaker 1: talking earlier about what if they try to poison them
- 3:37Speaker 1: is going to eat the food in China. Well, you know,
- 3:39Speaker 1: you got to be really afraid when you're in China.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Obviously they listen in on everything. People that go over
- 3:45Speaker 1: there told, you know, don't bring your phone. They'll tap
- 3:48Speaker 1: your phone, they'll do this to your phone, they'll bed
- 3:50Speaker 1: all kinds of things. So technology wise, the government knows
- 3:56Speaker 1: what The White House knows what to do about that.
- 3:57Speaker 1: As far as food, there are trips where the president
- 4:01Speaker 1: doesn't eat the local food. On Air Force One, they
- 4:05Speaker 1: have weeks and weeks of food storage, and they got
- 4:08Speaker 1: a huge kitchen, and sometimes they prepare if he's on
- 4:12Speaker 1: a trip somewhere and they don't trust the locals, all
- 4:14Speaker 1: the food for every meal will come from Air Force One.
- 4:18Speaker 1: He basically is getting room service from food made on
- 4:21Speaker 1: Air Force One, where they know where they got it
- 4:23Speaker 1: and they can trust it. I don't know if they'll
- 4:25Speaker 1: do that in China, but many presidents have gone over
- 4:28Speaker 1: there and eaten the food there. Of course, didn't George
- 4:31Speaker 1: hw Bush pass out there from whatever he ate. But
- 4:35Speaker 1: all right, these UFOs, they've released the files. All of
- 4:40Speaker 1: a sudden, it's the UFO stuff is going crazy. Is
- 4:46Speaker 1: there something wrong with me, I don't care about the UFOs.
- 4:50Speaker 1: There could be aliens here? Is there something wrong with me?
- 4:53Speaker 1: I just don't care. Doesn't bother me. They're here, they're
- 4:56Speaker 1: not here. If they're here, seems okay, they don't. It's
- 5:00Speaker 1: not like these illegal aliens where they come and clog
- 5:03Speaker 1: up your city and take money and commit crimes. And
- 5:07Speaker 1: if these UFO aliens, if these extra terrestrials are here,
- 5:11Speaker 1: I mean, they're not really bothering us. They're they're not
- 5:15Speaker 1: collecting checks from the government, they're not taking up parking spaces,
- 5:19Speaker 1: they're not clogging up the subway, they're not driving, they're
- 5:22Speaker 1: not causing traffic. But they're really not bothering him. But
- 5:25Speaker 1: they said, oh, they've been here for years, they're bedded. Well,
- 5:28Speaker 1: if that's the case, fine, they seem to keep pretty quiet.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Now.
- 5:32Speaker 1: The other thing is they always tell you these UFOs
- 5:34Speaker 1: are here, And it was in Rosalin, New Mexico, they were.
- 5:38Speaker 1: You know, if you came from another planet, if you
- 5:42Speaker 1: came like nine million light years to get here, and
- 5:47Speaker 1: you got here over America and you're looking around, who
- 5:49Speaker 1: the hell would go to New Mexico? I mean, you
- 5:50Speaker 1: look around, even if you just got here, even if
- 5:52Speaker 1: you've never been to the earth before, you don't anything
- 5:54Speaker 1: about it. You look down and you see New York City. Wow,
- 5:57Speaker 1: this looks like the center. This looks like the most
- 6:00Speaker 1: important place that. Hell would you go to New Mexico for.
- 6:05Speaker 2: That?
- 6:05Speaker 1: Hell? Would you go to Montana? Why would you land?
- 6:07Speaker 1: I mean looking around? If you just got here, You're
- 6:11Speaker 1: looking at the lights in New York, You're looking at
- 6:13Speaker 1: the incredible Miami Beach, You're looking all and then you
- 6:16Speaker 1: look at Montanago. This looks like the spot for Nobody
- 6:19Speaker 1: would say that, But I don't know. Let me know
- 6:21Speaker 1: what you think. Are you worried about this and not
- 6:23Speaker 1: worried about this? It doesn't bother me at all. The
- 6:29Speaker 1: other thing with Iran, carg Island is where they store
- 6:34Speaker 1: all their oil. It's where their oil refineries are. It's
- 6:37Speaker 1: been put out a commission for US from US because
- 6:39Speaker 1: they can't get near it. It's been about two months.
- 6:42Speaker 1: There's been some oil slicks off Carg Island. I think
- 6:46Speaker 1: maybe there's leaking in one of the refineries or something
- 6:49Speaker 1: gone wrong there since it's been abandoned for a couple
- 6:52Speaker 1: of months. And this is like the second oil slick.
- 6:53Speaker 1: We've seen around there. It's possible a stray missile hit
- 6:57Speaker 1: a tank or something like that. State troopers. This is
- 7:05Speaker 1: very bad what these state troopers are doing. We love
- 7:08Speaker 1: the New York State Troopers. They do great work, excellent organization.
- 7:12Speaker 1: They got a great superintendent. But you know, you see
- 7:17Speaker 1: them hiding on the It's not just state troopers, but
- 7:19Speaker 1: all these cops. You know, they hide on the highway,
- 7:21Speaker 1: they hide on the parkway, they hide on the expressway.
- 7:24Speaker 1: They always know the spot where you suddenly it curves
- 7:27Speaker 1: and as you turn around, it's too late. There they are,
- 7:30Speaker 1: or they got a billboard they hide behind, or there's
- 7:32Speaker 1: a place where there's like an indentation in the trees.
- 7:35Speaker 1: They can hide in their and you can't see them
- 7:36Speaker 1: ahead of time. Although nowadays if you got you know,
- 7:42Speaker 1: waves and if you're using the Google Traffic, Apple traffic,
- 7:45Speaker 1: it always gives you a warning about the speed cameras
- 7:48Speaker 1: and sometimes state troopers up ahead. But now what they're doing,
- 7:54Speaker 1: it's pretty smart on their part. But you know, when
- 7:55Speaker 1: there's a construction zone they're doing a little construction on
- 7:58Speaker 1: the side of the highway supposed to slow down instead
- 8:01Speaker 1: of fifty five the sign will say construction zone, lower
- 8:05Speaker 1: speed to thirty. Nobody really does that. You're gonna go thirty.
- 8:09Speaker 1: I mean, you know you're gonna be careful as you
- 8:11Speaker 1: go by the construction zone. You might slow down a little,
- 8:14Speaker 1: but you're not going to go that little low speed.
- 8:17Speaker 1: So they're putting state troopers in the construction zones dressed
- 8:21Speaker 1: as construction workers with the big yellow vest, with the
- 8:25Speaker 1: construction hat on, with the hard hat. So you'll see
- 8:29Speaker 1: twenty construction workers in the construction zone. Now it'll turn
- 8:34Speaker 1: out ten of them are undercovered, disguised state troopers who
- 8:39Speaker 1: will then see you speeding because you don't think you
- 8:41Speaker 1: see any cops, and you keep going the regular speed
- 8:43Speaker 1: limit and they'll give you a ticket. Apparently this has
- 8:45Speaker 1: been incredibly effective, almost one thousand tickets in four days,
- 8:50Speaker 1: a thirty five percent increase. This is unfair, these state troopers.
- 8:58Speaker 1: All you police, you should not be able to high
- 9:00Speaker 1: behind them. I guess they're doing a good thing. They're helping,
- 9:03Speaker 1: helping stop speeding. It is a dangerous thing, but disguising
- 9:07Speaker 1: yourself as construction workers. Now here's the problem is this
- 9:12Speaker 1: gets out and everybody knows they're disguised as construction workers.
- 9:15Speaker 1: People will go very slow during a construction site. You're
- 9:18Speaker 1: gonna have to think of something else. You know, what
- 9:21Speaker 1: you should do. Disguise yourself as little old ladies, you know,
- 9:24Speaker 1: disguise yourself as the mother on Golden Girls. Get an old, old,
- 9:28Speaker 1: old car and drive real slow on the highway. You know,
- 9:31Speaker 1: people always zoom by it, having no idea that you're
- 9:34Speaker 1: actually the police, and then all of a sudden you
- 9:36Speaker 1: turn on the sign that might work. But this is terrible.
- 9:43Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, people should be suspicious because
- 9:46Speaker 1: they disguise themselves as construction workers. But all of a sudden,
- 9:49Speaker 1: people notice when you drive by the construction site, some
- 9:52Speaker 1: of them are actually working. They've never seen that before,
- 9:55Speaker 1: you know, any construction site. They're always just standing there.
- 9:58Speaker 1: They're always just standing there. You know, like when you
- 10:00Speaker 1: I go by this to get the manhole cover open
- 10:02Speaker 1: on the street here and it's like steam coming out,
- 10:04Speaker 1: and the big sign. Men at work. You see one
- 10:07Speaker 1: guy having coffee, one guy's having his lunch, two guys
- 10:09Speaker 1: are on the phone. You never see anybody actually working. Hey,
- 10:13Speaker 1: the most horrible story this weekend, This was just awful.
- 10:17Speaker 1: A plane landing on a runway, hits somebody. Apparently he
- 10:24Speaker 1: jumped over the fence. I don't know what he was doing.
- 10:26Speaker 1: He jumped over the fence at the airport. The runways
- 10:29Speaker 1: all fenced off, but he gets over the fence tries
- 10:31Speaker 1: to run across the runway. Now, you gotta remember why.
- 10:33Speaker 1: As a plane comes into land, it's coming in at
- 10:36Speaker 1: about like four hundred miles an hour, and even on
- 10:40Speaker 1: the runway it can, you know, be one hundred and
- 10:42Speaker 1: eighty miles and it's a it's like a Formula one
- 10:45Speaker 1: car coming in on that run So it hit this
- 10:48Speaker 1: guy and he went into the engine and it just
- 10:55Speaker 1: turned in. It just diced him and sliced him a
- 10:57Speaker 1: million ways. It just turned him into pa But passengers
- 11:02Speaker 1: were looking out the window and they saw as the
- 11:04Speaker 1: guy went into the engine, his legs were sticking out
- 11:06Speaker 1: of the engine swirling around. His legs were twirling. It
- 11:09Speaker 1: was the most sickening sight and then apparently caused an
- 11:13Speaker 1: engine explosion, which sent smoke into the cabin. They had
- 11:16Speaker 1: to do an emergency evacuation where you come down those slides.
- 11:20Speaker 1: But listen to the pilot when he hits this guy,
- 11:24Speaker 1: pretre forty three five.
- 11:25Speaker 2: We're stopping on the runway. We just hit somebody. We
- 11:29Speaker 2: have an engine park.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Yeah, so the guy went into the engine, got all
- 11:33Speaker 1: turned into dust and caused an engine explosion, smoke, and we've.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Got the smoke and the aircraft. We're going to evacuate
- 11:42Speaker 2: on the runway.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Yeah. One passenger, Well, here's one passenger. He was getting
- 11:49Speaker 1: ready to take off and then it felt like a
- 11:52Speaker 1: big speed bump. And then I looked at the right.
- 11:56Speaker 1: I see the wing is on fire and it's sparking. Oh, yes,
- 11:59Speaker 1: it was taken off. I got it wrong. It was
- 12:01Speaker 1: taken off. That's even worse because you go faster on
- 12:04Speaker 1: the takeoff. You have to get up enough speed to
- 12:06Speaker 1: go up, so that could be a couple one hundred
- 12:09Speaker 1: miles an hour. Wow, there's one passenger. He and his son.
- 12:14Speaker 1: They just happened to be looking out the window and
- 12:15Speaker 1: saw the guy get just made mince meat out of them.
- 12:20Speaker 1: But they were so traumatized and so sick. They were
- 12:23Speaker 1: going on a vacation but they couldn't go. They just
- 12:25Speaker 1: canceled the trip. They couldn't sleep, they were having nightmares.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Horrible thing. You know that Eurovision is like the biggest
- 12:36Speaker 1: talent show in the world. Eurovision. It's not well known
- 12:39Speaker 1: in this country, but it's a big deal all over
- 12:42Speaker 1: the world. It's a big deal in Europe. Eurovision is
- 12:45Speaker 1: like American Idol and the Olympics combined. It's the Olympics
- 12:51Speaker 1: American Idol Olympics size. It's a massive event. It's the
- 12:54Speaker 1: biggest thing of the year in Europe. Eurovision. Thirty five
- 12:58Speaker 1: countries participate. Whoever wins Eurovision becomes a music superstar. It
- 13:02Speaker 1: always happens. One year there was a group. They also
- 13:07Speaker 1: have intermissions. It's on television in thirty five countries, like
- 13:12Speaker 1: a zillion people watch it on television, and then during
- 13:15Speaker 1: the intermissions they have a group play. One year of
- 13:17Speaker 1: the group was called Abba. That's where they were discovered
- 13:19Speaker 1: and they did a song called Waterloo and because of Eurovision,
- 13:22Speaker 1: next thing, you know, was the number one song in
- 13:24Speaker 1: the world. But it's a big, big deal. So Eurovision
- 13:27Speaker 1: is to take place in Vienna this year. Pretty soon
- 13:31Speaker 1: Iran is now threatening Eurovision. It's again it's like the Olympics.
- 13:35Speaker 1: It goes on for a couple of days. There's like
- 13:38Speaker 1: an Olympic village. There's a Eurovision village. It's a massive
- 13:41Speaker 1: event with a ton of people. So Iran is threatening.
- 13:45Speaker 1: It isis is threatening it. This has become a security nightmare.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Remember that happened to Taylor Swift concerts in Europe they
- 13:52Speaker 1: had to cancel them. But it's happening to Eurovision security.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Here's a director, we have helicopters, we have many, many
- 14:00Speaker 2: different people, bomb squads, K nine units, everyone with a
- 14:03Speaker 2: special specialty and the special use. Many of those special
- 14:08Speaker 2: units will not be visible for the duration of the
- 14:11Speaker 2: week and always on sites and can intervene in a
- 14:15Speaker 2: moment's notice.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's still pretty scary. Hey, anyway, I will
- 14:19Speaker 1: take some calls in a minute. We know about these UFOs.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Do you care? Do you not care? I know there's
- 14:24Speaker 1: people who listen to that Flying Saucer show every night.
- 14:27Speaker 1: That's like the biggest show all over the country. People
- 14:29Speaker 1: are addicted to these UFO shows. I'm late, you know,
- 14:32Speaker 1: after midnight. It just doesn't I really don't care. I mean,
- 14:39Speaker 1: let's say you got some extra terrestials, see more work
- 14:42Speaker 1: for Tom Homan. He'll get him out of here. But
- 14:44Speaker 1: let me know. We'll take some calls next. You can
- 14:46Speaker 1: talk about whatever you want eight hundred three to two
- 14:48Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Is the number eight hundred three
- 14:52Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten
