Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: They'll mark some own show live from the woor Life
- 0:04Speaker 1: Back studio.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Actually I'm not really ready, but I already don't like today.
- 0:19Speaker 2: It's too hot out. It's really hot and muggy and sticky.
- 0:23Speaker 2: And this is not the heat wave. This is nothing
- 0:27Speaker 2: compared to what it's going to be. It's going to
- 0:29Speaker 2: be eighty nine today, ninety five tomorrow, then one hundred
- 0:35Speaker 2: Thursday and Friday, real feel one hundred and eleven and
- 0:40Speaker 2: cools off a little Saturday ninety five. But there's a
- 0:43Speaker 2: big thunderstorm on Saturday and it doesn't look good. Doesn't
- 0:49Speaker 2: look good. Well anyway, again, go outside. If you don't
- 0:55Speaker 2: like this weather, you're not gonna like Florida for half
- 0:57Speaker 2: the year. So we got a lot to get to.
- 1:00Speaker 2: There's some interesting candidates that want to jump in the
- 1:02Speaker 2: mayoral race already. We'll get to the Great Clive Davis's funeral.
- 1:08Speaker 2: We'll get to President Trump, we'll get to Iran, we'll
- 1:11Speaker 2: get to the Supreme Court, we'll get to Crazy Mom Donnie,
- 1:14Speaker 2: and a whole lot more coming up now. Speaking of
- 1:17Speaker 2: this heat wave in Paris, when much of Europe, but
- 1:20Speaker 2: especially Paris, have been going through a brutal heat wave
- 1:24Speaker 2: like what we're going to go through, and it's very
- 1:27Speaker 2: tough there. You know, thirteen hundred people have died in Europe.
- 1:31Speaker 2: You know, out of all the different types of weather
- 1:33Speaker 2: that can kill people, nothing has caused more deaths than heat,
- 1:37Speaker 2: More than floods, more than tornadoes. More people have died
- 1:39Speaker 2: from heat. It's the most dangerous form of weather. So
- 1:44Speaker 2: just now in Europe, thirteen hundred people have died from this.
- 1:48Speaker 2: The last heat wave on this scale was two thousand
- 1:51Speaker 2: and three. Fifteen thousand people died in France. Now. One
- 1:55Speaker 2: of the reasons is they don't have air conditioning over there.
- 2:00Speaker 2: They really don't. There's very very little air conditioning. Maybe
- 2:03Speaker 2: only twenty five percent of households in France have air conditioning.
- 2:07Speaker 2: And you know, if you looked at Paris, those buildings,
- 2:10Speaker 2: you know they're very old, ancient buildings. They just weren't
- 2:12Speaker 2: equipped with air conditioning. And you know, the beautiful, ornate,
- 2:16Speaker 2: gorgeous Paris. But you can't just stick a air conditioner
- 2:20Speaker 2: in the window there. It's not going to look right.
- 2:23Speaker 2: But apparently left wing Kooki socialists Parisian politicians are blaming
- 2:30Speaker 2: the US. They're actually telling French citizens. It's all our
- 2:34Speaker 2: fault that have it worse than we do. It's one
- 2:37Speaker 2: hundred and four there. But they're telling all of them
- 2:41Speaker 2: that it's because of our air conditioning. We have air
- 2:43Speaker 2: conditioning everywhere here, and it's caused a carbon emission and
- 2:46Speaker 2: a climate change and that's why they got the heat wave.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Of course, none of this is true. There's no connection
- 2:52Speaker 2: between carbon emission and this heat wave, none whatsoever. But yeah, screaming,
- 3:00Speaker 2: the US is ninety percent air conditioning. It's really tough
- 3:04Speaker 2: when you live in Paris, very very very few buildings
- 3:08Speaker 2: or apartments have air conditioning. And the one reason is,
- 3:13Speaker 2: again the old buildings don't really accommodate it very well.
- 3:16Speaker 2: And the others they voted in through the years, these
- 3:19Speaker 2: left wing kook politicians who don't allow air conditioning, environmental concerns,
- 3:25Speaker 2: cultural concerns, strict building codes. But the tides are starting
- 3:30Speaker 2: to change over there. Summers get hotter and hotter, French
- 3:33Speaker 2: people starting to revolt like crazy. Iran. Well, you know,
- 3:39Speaker 2: there's all kinds of back and forth and up and down,
- 3:42Speaker 2: and you know, you get people that love President Trump,
- 3:47Speaker 2: just love him, but they're mad about Iran, you know,
- 3:49Speaker 2: you gotta remember what Trump. He'll take chances, he'll take risks.
- 3:56Speaker 2: He'll just jump in there and take the risk, go
- 3:58Speaker 2: way out on a limb, and it may go badly
- 4:00Speaker 2: for a time, but come back in a month or
- 4:02Speaker 2: two and I'll have it all figured out. This is
- 4:04Speaker 2: just step seven of twenty seven steps. He'll get it
- 4:07Speaker 2: figured out.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Well.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Oil prices are way down. They're down to seventy dollars.
- 4:12Speaker 2: They've been a sixty eight. That's pretty much like pre
- 4:15Speaker 2: Iran war levels. Now it hasn't come down in the pumps.
- 4:20Speaker 2: But when the price of oil comes down to normal,
- 4:24Speaker 2: it takes a while. It can take weeks and weeks
- 4:26Speaker 2: for that to make it to the gas pumps. You know,
- 4:29Speaker 2: a lagging thing. President Trump now threatening the oil companies,
- 4:32Speaker 2: said just bring it down now immediately, which they could do.
- 4:37Speaker 2: They really could do that. We have more than enough oil.
- 4:40Speaker 2: I know the world price might be different, but we
- 4:43Speaker 2: don't depend on the world price. We have since President
- 4:46Speaker 2: Trump took office and open up drilling everywhere, we now
- 4:50Speaker 2: drill more oil than we could ever use. We're now
- 4:53Speaker 2: the biggest producer of oil in the year in the world.
- 4:56Speaker 2: We have so much oil that we're just giving it
- 4:58Speaker 2: away to other countries, so we could easily bring down
- 5:02Speaker 2: the price not have to worry about what it is
- 5:03Speaker 2: anywhere else in the world. So President Trump threatening the
- 5:07Speaker 2: oil companies bring it down immediately. It's averages three point eighty.
- 5:11Speaker 2: He wants it down to two point fifty a gallon,
- 5:13Speaker 2: and they could do that. Let's see how they respond
- 5:16Speaker 2: to his threats. You know they might. They might take
- 5:19Speaker 2: that seriously and bring them right down. Was it Newark
- 5:23Speaker 2: Airport where the drone? These guys are on the run.
- 5:27Speaker 2: A drone hits a plane. These drones are up there.
- 5:30Speaker 2: You know, no matter what happens to a pilot, drone
- 5:32Speaker 2: could hit the front of the plane. That they stay
- 5:34Speaker 2: so calm, listen to These guys.
- 5:37Speaker 4: Almost ran into a gigantic RC airplane right over there
- 5:40Speaker 4: at Fort ceners.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:42Speaker 5: Interesting, he's not on my radar here, six K Fox shouted.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Do you think it was like somewhere like a drone
- 5:47Speaker 5: or like can you describe it?
- 5:50Speaker 2: See a lot of these pilots are from somewhere else.
- 5:52Speaker 2: They're not in New Yorker's you know New York would go.
- 5:53Speaker 2: But how was it? But these pilots we ran into
- 5:57Speaker 2: a drone.
- 5:58Speaker 5: Do you think it was like someone like a drone
- 6:00Speaker 5: or like can you describe it?
- 6:04Speaker 4: It was just an RC. One of the rogue told
- 6:07Speaker 4: airplanes a big one at five hundred feet.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Yeah, they just stay very calm.
- 6:13Speaker 4: He collide with a groan back there in the turn.
- 6:16Speaker 4: You said you collided. Yep, it hit right right above
- 6:19Speaker 4: the cockpit.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yep, mayah it is. That was in New York.
- 6:25Speaker 2: They'd be screaming, they'd be suing somebody, they'd be going
- 6:27Speaker 2: nuts over this. So hey, we're talking about Chuck Schumer yesterday,
- 6:33Speaker 2: who made an absolute fool out of himself at the
- 6:38Speaker 2: Pride parade. It was absolutely ridiculous. He was being booed
- 6:42Speaker 2: like crazy. He's a cheap, tone deaf, pandering old dinosaur
- 6:48Speaker 2: who doesn't even know how to pander anymore. He has
- 6:50Speaker 2: this bullhorn. You're not supposed to talk, just marching way.
- 6:54Speaker 2: He's got a bullhorn. He's yelling at the crowd that
- 6:56Speaker 2: he has a gay daughter. He was the first to
- 6:58Speaker 2: march in this Pride, just bragging like an idiot. He
- 7:02Speaker 2: is so hated right now. He is so loathed it's
- 7:07Speaker 2: almost I would say he's actually worse than Cuomo now
- 7:11Speaker 2: as far as being loathed by New York But look
- 7:14Speaker 2: at this is CNN. This is the CNN pollster. Schumer
- 7:18Speaker 2: is now setting unbelievable new records for the lowest poll
- 7:22Speaker 2: numbers ever listened to the CNN pollster.
- 7:24Speaker 6: Chuck Schumer's net Favrilee rating with Dems now versus the
- 7:28Speaker 6: last time Democrats were going for that Senate majority in
- 7:30Speaker 6: early twenty twenty. Look at this, Chuck Schumer was forty
- 7:33Speaker 6: points above water, very much on the positive side of
- 7:36Speaker 6: the ledger with Democrats.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Look at this, Look at this change.
- 7:39Speaker 2: This is nuts.
- 7:40Speaker 6: Johnny be Off on the side going, my goodness, gracious,
- 7:43Speaker 6: now he's a point underwater with Democrats.
- 7:47Speaker 2: He is the most hated politician in America, with absolutely
- 7:53Speaker 2: no future. It's all over hey. Yesterday with the Clive
- 7:57Speaker 2: Davis funeral, it began a ten and I went over
- 8:01Speaker 2: there after this show, but it was just the tail end.
- 8:04Speaker 2: But a lot of people spoke. Bruce Springsteen, discovered by
- 8:08Speaker 2: Clive Davis, spoke at the funeral on that day.
- 8:10Speaker 7: Clive showed a twenty two year old nobody the same warmth,
- 8:16Speaker 7: the same kindness, the same respect that he would show
- 8:22Speaker 7: me after all my success for the next fifty years.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Yeah, Springsteen went on to great success, and he became
- 8:30Speaker 2: quite the raging left wing lunatic in the process. But
- 8:33Speaker 2: you know, that's a musician.
- 8:35Speaker 7: He guided the listening public towards so much powerful and
- 8:38Speaker 7: inspiring music. And he not only loved music, Clive actually
- 8:46Speaker 7: loved the people who made the music.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Yeah, now we love Clive. He was a wonderful guy.
- 8:52Speaker 2: I can tell you all kinds of things about I
- 8:53Speaker 2: wonderful he was. But he was also a left wing
- 8:57Speaker 2: kook when it came to Paul And when you went
- 9:00Speaker 2: to Clive's house when there's a party, there was Don Lemon,
- 9:03Speaker 2: and there was Gail King and every left wing doubt
- 9:09Speaker 2: and then that's just hey, that's that's part of the
- 9:11Speaker 2: music business. That's most people in the music business. So uh,
- 9:15Speaker 2: Dion Warwick came in to New York to speak at
- 9:18Speaker 2: the at the funeral.
- 9:19Speaker 8: You supposed to be talking to him when I asked
- 9:21Speaker 8: how to you? He was his dear friend who cared
- 9:26Speaker 8: about Dion. I mean, there was not anything that he
- 9:30Speaker 8: ever did that I didn't get the first phone call
- 9:33Speaker 8: you will be there right. I don't know if I
- 9:37Speaker 8: can make this from leave me. He was always asking
- 9:42Speaker 8: where's my dion?
- 9:45Speaker 2: All right, exactly Winston Churchill. But she's a great singer.
- 9:48Speaker 2: It comes to speak. Hey, Alicia Keys, was there.
- 9:51Speaker 9: About music was such reverence, like it was sacred, like
- 9:56Speaker 9: it mattered, like it meant some in a world that
- 10:02Speaker 9: so often reduces art to commerce and genius to product.
- 10:09Speaker 9: You held the line. You reminded me again and again.
- 10:14Speaker 9: Now what we were doing was about truth and legacy
- 10:19Speaker 9: and about the human heart reaching out to another human
- 10:23Speaker 9: heart and saying you're not alone. When we first met,
- 10:30Speaker 9: you told me that he would treat me like Joni Mitchell,
- 10:36Speaker 9: and I was.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Like, whoa, yeah, quite an emotional funeral. But Clive Davis
- 10:45Speaker 2: was an inspiration, not only for his genius in the
- 10:47Speaker 2: music business. But here was a guy who was out
- 10:52Speaker 2: every night, every night. I don't care how two ninety three,
- 10:55Speaker 2: ninety four. He was out every night, dinner after dinner,
- 10:59Speaker 2: after party after party. He would do it all weekend.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Every weekend. He had forty fifty people at his house.
- 11:05Speaker 2: He was I mean, nobody lived life more than this guy.
- 11:10Speaker 2: And somehow he found plenty of time to work very hard,
- 11:13Speaker 2: very dedicated. I remember once going to his office at Arista.
- 11:18Speaker 2: This is years ago, and people still use cassettes. And
- 11:21Speaker 2: if you were an unknown singer and nobody and you're
- 11:26Speaker 2: trying to get Clive Davis's attention, you'd send a cassette
- 11:29Speaker 2: if you're singing, your band whatever. And I remember in
- 11:32Speaker 2: his office against the wall stacks at cassettes up to
- 11:36Speaker 2: the ceiling. Must have been ten fifteen rows of them.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Must have been five thousand cassettes there, and those are
- 11:42Speaker 2: all people, you know, wanted to Clive to sign them
- 11:46Speaker 2: or listen. So I remember sending them. You're not gonna
- 11:49Speaker 2: listen to all those, are you? He said, I have
- 11:51Speaker 2: to listen to all those? The next Beatles could be
- 11:53Speaker 2: in that stack. I mean, you just dedicated, never ever
- 11:57Speaker 2: ever stopped working so a lot to get to Today,
- 12:01Speaker 2: the City Council and the mayor have passed the budget.
- 12:06Speaker 2: It is a ridiculous, ludicrous, totally irrational, preposterous one hundred
- 12:14Speaker 2: and twenty five billion dollar budget for the City of
- 12:18Speaker 2: New York. That's absolutely ridiculous. It should probably be fifty billion.
- 12:23Speaker 2: It's one hundred and twenty five billion. That's more than
- 12:27Speaker 2: the entire state of Florida. Which has three or four
- 12:31Speaker 2: major cities, and also Florida a much much, much lower budget,
- 12:37Speaker 2: you get much better services. This is the most out
- 12:40Speaker 2: of control, ridiculous budget ever passed. It doesn't contain any
- 12:44Speaker 2: more money for police or expansion of police, but it
- 12:48Speaker 2: contains big raises for the mayor and the city council.
- 12:53Speaker 2: The mayor. I mean big raises. I mean not three percent,
- 12:56Speaker 2: twenty percent, So the mayor will now be making over
- 12:59Speaker 2: three hundred thousand a year. Absolutely ridiculous. The preposterous waste
- 13:04Speaker 2: of money, waste of taxpayer money going on. You know
- 13:09Speaker 2: they talk about billionaires paying their fair share, Let's talk
- 13:12Speaker 2: about government collecting their fair share. This is absolutely ridiculous,
- 13:18Speaker 2: absolutely ridiculous. And you got this crazy governor who will
- 13:23Speaker 2: look the other way, afraid to say anything. A lot
- 13:26Speaker 2: of people want to run for mayor against this guy now,
- 13:28Speaker 2: including Dave Portnoy.
- 13:30Speaker 10: I would love to run against. If I was going
- 13:32Speaker 10: to run, it would be here. Can I win here?
- 13:34Speaker 10: I have no idea. I don't know the demographics, whether
- 13:36Speaker 10: they get enough votes. There's a lot of people who
- 13:39Speaker 10: like me in New York City. I know that I've
- 13:41Speaker 10: done a lot of good in New York City when
- 13:44Speaker 10: I wasn't thinking about politics, whether it's the barstool fund,
- 13:46Speaker 10: pizza places, so it wasn't for show.
- 13:49Speaker 2: I've had a real job.
- 13:50Speaker 10: I've done real things, unlike these clown politicians who have
- 13:53Speaker 10: never had a job and never been in the real
- 13:55Speaker 10: world for a day.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Yeah, they see. The problem is it's not a sales job.
- 13:59Speaker 2: It's it's a management job. It's not a TV performer job.
- 14:03Speaker 2: It's a management job. And we've had now three mayors
- 14:06Speaker 2: with absolutely no management experience. Mom Donnie's never had a
- 14:11Speaker 2: job of any kind before that. Eric Adams a nice guy,
- 14:16Speaker 2: but he'd never managed anything. He had been the Brooklyn
- 14:19Speaker 2: Borough president. But that the job has no power to it.
- 14:23Speaker 2: You're just basically running a chamber of commerce. There's no
- 14:26Speaker 2: management there. De Blasio before that was the public advocate. Again,
- 14:32Speaker 2: it's a no show job, no management experience. Before that,
- 14:35Speaker 2: you had Bloomberg who was managing multi billion dollar empires.
- 14:39Speaker 2: You need a manager to run New York. So I
- 14:43Speaker 2: love Portnoy, but there's a lot of other notables yelling
- 14:48Speaker 2: that they're going to run. But you got to have
- 14:50Speaker 2: management experience. You got to know how to run a
- 14:52Speaker 2: large organization. You got to know how to negotiate with
- 14:56Speaker 2: unions and contractors. And I mean the first thing you
- 14:59Speaker 2: gotta do is get the spending down dramatically. The reason
- 15:03Speaker 2: the budget is so preposterous is the City of New
- 15:06Speaker 2: York overpays by ten thousand percent for everything, just completely
- 15:11Speaker 2: wasting tax payer money. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
- 15:18Speaker 2: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

- 17:01Speaker 13: So I just wanted to say something about Clive Davis. Yes,
- 17:04Speaker 13: I've worked for a music attorney for over thirty years,
- 17:08Speaker 13: and I still remember going to a showcase for an
- 17:12Speaker 13: unknown artist by the name of Gavin de Graus, uh huh,
- 17:15Speaker 13: and Clive was invited to that showcase and I still remember,
- 17:19Speaker 13: and I've never experienced before or since, Clyde Davis walking
- 17:23Speaker 13: into that club and you could have heard a pin drop.
- 17:28Speaker 13: He was so well respected by artists, by songwriters. And
- 17:33Speaker 13: I saw him again on Madison Avenue one day. It
- 17:36Speaker 13: was with my husband and I approached him, introduced myself
- 17:40Speaker 13: and he was so engaging.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Yeah, it was always a nice guy. He was nice
- 17:44Speaker 2: to everybody. He was a people person who loves to
- 17:46Speaker 2: do great.
- 17:46Speaker 14: Well.
- 17:47Speaker 13: You know, it's a big loss, it really really is.
- 17:49Speaker 13: But you know, he's left the world a wonderful legacy.
- 17:52Speaker 2: But again, he got to ninety four and he was
- 17:55Speaker 2: running around going out every night up until ninety four.
- 17:57Speaker 2: So that's a pretty.
- 17:58Speaker 13: Incredible That's what I want you to say.

- 18:22Speaker 15: Why do you always cry about the hot weather.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Well, because I don't live in Florida. See, you people
- 18:27Speaker 2: have to deal with this every day. This is what
- 18:29Speaker 2: it's like for you forever, so you get used to it.
- 18:32Speaker 15: I lived in New York till I was fifty five,
- 18:35Speaker 15: I think, and it never seemed to get super hot.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Yeah it did a little humid, No, it did. They
- 18:42Speaker 2: had heat waves like this back then.
- 18:44Speaker 15: I don't know.
- 18:45Speaker 2: I don't really. I hate to break it to you,
- 18:46Speaker 2: but you could. Actually was a Casey Stangle who said
- 18:49Speaker 2: you could look it up. You can look it up.
- 18:51Speaker 2: In fact, if you go back, you could watch old
- 18:54Speaker 2: TV shows from the fifties and sixties. You know, you
- 18:56Speaker 2: watch Naked City. There's an episode about the brutal heat
- 18:59Speaker 2: wave and what it caused in New York. Well, let's
- 19:02Speaker 2: go to Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich How you doing, Hey?
- 19:06Speaker 14: Thanks? Mark? You know you mentioned Dean Walker. I didn't
- 19:08Speaker 14: even know if she was alive. She's got to be
- 19:10Speaker 14: into a nineties by now, right, Nah.
- 19:12Speaker 2: I don't think she's that old. Dion Warwick.
- 19:14Speaker 14: I would sink I'd look it up, but well.
- 19:18Speaker 2: No, she was around with the Beatles, the beat She's eighty.
- 19:22Speaker 14: Five, yeah, eighty five. Okay, well that makes sense. But
- 19:26Speaker 14: you know gas down here is the three point thirty
- 19:28Speaker 14: five yesterday today it's three point fifty nine. You know,
- 19:31Speaker 14: the price of gas goes up immediately when the price
- 19:35Speaker 14: aill goes up. Yet the price of oil plummets in
- 19:37Speaker 14: a matter of two weeks, and it takes a month
- 19:39Speaker 14: for the price to get downy of Trump should just
- 19:41Speaker 14: go and finish a job. Take over the straights, take
- 19:44Speaker 14: all the oil, and get this gas back down to
- 19:46Speaker 14: two dollars two dollars and fifty cents in this placeful home.
- 19:49Speaker 14: But this is just getting ridiculous that this price of
- 19:51Speaker 14: gas just isn't coming down as fast as it's really
- 19:54Speaker 14: supposed to, as fast as he says it is coming down.
- 19:56Speaker 2: That's why he's not threatening the oil companies. But don't worry,
- 19:58Speaker 2: he'll figure it out, give them.
- 19:59Speaker 14: To He'll get You should have done that.
- 20:01Speaker 2: You know everybody tell you should have done that. You
- 20:04Speaker 2: should have done that, you should have done it. Don't worry.
- 20:06Speaker 2: He knows how to make things the best who ever was.
- 20:08Speaker 14: But come on, you know you can't have you I'm
- 20:14Speaker 14: not a panic and I've never been like that.
- 20:16Speaker 2: You had much more than that for years of Biden.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Don't worry, He'll figure it out. Thanks for calling. Let's
- 20:20Speaker 2: go to UH Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent. How you doing.
- 20:24Speaker 12: Good morning, Mark, good morning, congratulations on the Barrett Wood
- 20:29Speaker 12: mark and have a great time at the ceremony. Mark.
- 20:32Speaker 12: There is a way around this, UH seemingly setback about
- 20:38Speaker 12: the postage, the postmark on the on the votes UH
- 20:44Speaker 12: on election day. Since the presidential election the federally a
- 20:49Speaker 12: federal election, and since the post Office is a federal agency,
- 20:56Speaker 12: just Trump what they should put it into law. Have
- 20:59Speaker 12: to Postmaster General of the United States, director Postmaster's General
- 21:05Speaker 12: of each individual state to say, any ballot that comes
- 21:10Speaker 12: in with a postmark after this election day, just put
- 21:16Speaker 12: them on the side, because this way they can't be
- 21:20Speaker 12: counted in with the acceptable votes, the votes that have
- 21:24Speaker 12: the right date on them. And also they got that's
- 21:28Speaker 12: where all the checking has to be done because in
- 21:30Speaker 12: these sleazy democratic states. Now, if I was Gavin Newsom,
- 21:35Speaker 12: let's say what I would do is I'd mail out
- 21:38Speaker 12: the ballot, but I would put two mailers in there,
- 21:42Speaker 12: so one if they sent it out before midnight of
- 21:48Speaker 12: election day, and one with no posts with nothing on it.
- 21:54Speaker 12: So this way, the crooks in the Democratic States could
- 21:58Speaker 12: put their own war a mark on it. But the
- 22:01Speaker 12: way to get around it is stopping at the federal level.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Yeah, well, hopefully we will one day, Vincent. We got
- 22:06Speaker 2: to go do the news. But great call. Hey, when
- 22:08Speaker 2: we come back, Michael Goodwin, we'll be with us. We'll
- 22:11Speaker 2: talk to him next on seven to ten w R.
- 22:15Speaker 7: Mister here you.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Are, Mark Simone.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Wr Well with us right now. The greatest columnist in America,
- 22:25Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin the New York Post. He can read his
- 22:27Speaker 2: column every Sunday and every Wednesday, and all the columns
- 22:30Speaker 2: are up on the New York Post website if you
- 22:32Speaker 2: want to go read them. Michael Goodwin, how you doing.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark?
- 22:36Speaker 15: Thank you?
- 22:37Speaker 2: Hey. Oh I loved your calum the other day about
- 22:39Speaker 2: Kathy Hochel.
- 22:40Speaker 7: Uh.
- 22:40Speaker 2: You know, she's pandering to the mom Donnie crowd. But
- 22:43Speaker 2: you're right, she's never gonna win them over, never going
- 22:45Speaker 2: to satisfy them, is she?
- 22:48Speaker 7: No?
- 22:48Speaker 3: Me? You there's this Uh, this is not a menu
- 22:53Speaker 3: where you select the things where you agree with them, mob. Yeah,
- 22:56Speaker 3: you either agree with him more you don't. It's a
- 22:59Speaker 3: hundred and thankfully she doesn't one hundred percent agree with him.
- 23:05Speaker 3: But that's why compare it to feeding the alligators. You know,
- 23:10Speaker 3: you give them a little bit and pretty soon you're
- 23:14Speaker 3: on the venue. And that's what's happened to her. She
- 23:17Speaker 3: thought she could get away, which is since throwing them
- 23:21Speaker 3: a few scraps, a couple of billion dollars of state money.
- 23:25Speaker 3: But of course that's not enough. They want everything, and
- 23:30Speaker 3: that includes higher taxes and corporations and individuals and all
- 23:36Speaker 3: kinds of other things. So she you know, also this
- 23:40Speaker 3: issue of Israel, which is the main driving force of
- 23:44Speaker 3: these new socialists, and you have to hate Israel, you
- 23:48Speaker 3: have to hate Menton Yahu to be a real socialist
- 23:52Speaker 3: these days. I thankfully I don't think Hoco qualifies on
- 23:58Speaker 3: those counts. But she's done a lot of damage already.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Yeah, so how bad is obviously Mam Donnie's just terrible
- 24:07Speaker 2: at this, But how bad is it going to be?
- 24:08Speaker 2: It's been six months already and it's not that bad.
- 24:12Speaker 2: I mean, he makes things a little worse, but he
- 24:14Speaker 2: hasn't done too much damage in six months. What do
- 24:17Speaker 2: you think will happen the next year or two?
- 24:19Speaker 3: Well, I think some of these things take a while
- 24:22Speaker 3: before they the evidence becomes clear. For example, this a
- 24:28Speaker 3: rent freeze. If it's allowed to stand, I think what
- 24:33Speaker 3: you're going to see are increasing dilapidation of you know,
- 24:38Speaker 3: sort of marginal rental buildings. You're going to see more
- 24:43Speaker 3: vacancies because one of the things that's already happening, Mark,
- 24:48Speaker 3: is that the city under before Mam Donnie clamped down
- 24:52Speaker 3: on how much you could raise the rent. It's you
- 24:57Speaker 3: renovated and empty apart And I've spoken the landlords who
- 25:04Speaker 3: are sitting on empty apartments because they say they cannot
- 25:09Speaker 3: afford to renovate it because their rent laws do not
- 25:13Speaker 3: allow them to recoup the money. And what happens is,
- 25:17Speaker 3: let's say you have a tenant who's there for a
- 25:20Speaker 3: very long time twenty thirty years even not unusual, and
- 25:25Speaker 3: that tenant moves or dies, then you have to upgrade
- 25:29Speaker 3: the entire apartment, probably need new kitchen equipment, that all
- 25:38Speaker 3: pay jobs. All these things cost a lot of money.
- 25:41Speaker 3: Forty fifty thousand dollars to do a total rehab. Well,
- 25:46Speaker 3: if it's going to take you fifteen years to recoup
- 25:49Speaker 3: that money, you're not going to do it because you'll
- 25:53Speaker 3: be losing money constantly, So that's what's happening kind of
- 25:58Speaker 3: quietly across this city. So when you pile on top
- 26:02Speaker 3: of that red freezes for years, then you're going to
- 26:07Speaker 3: create more of those situations where you have vacant departments
- 26:12Speaker 3: that nobody can live in because nobody can afford upgrade them.
- 26:17Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, so first it's Mom Downey. Then you last
- 26:20Speaker 2: week we had a whole bunch of crazy socialists get elected,
- 26:23Speaker 2: and people studying that vote real carefully say, even though
- 26:26Speaker 2: the campaigned on affordability, the real reason they won two things.
- 26:30Speaker 2: It's deep anti semitism with these young voters, and also
- 26:34Speaker 2: they want to stop Trump and they think the old politicians,
- 26:38Speaker 2: the humors that Jeffreys, don't know how to stop Trump.
- 26:40Speaker 2: So that's why they're voting these crazies. And is that
- 26:43Speaker 2: really what it is?
- 26:45Speaker 3: Well, I think Trump is obviously, you know, target number one,
- 26:50Speaker 3: but I think it's also the more centrist oriented or
- 26:56Speaker 3: center left democrats. I mean, most of them are not
- 27:01Speaker 3: notoriously crazy like the socialists, and so they stand in
- 27:07Speaker 3: the way of the socialists. So you know, as I said,
- 27:11Speaker 3: in these districts, there were the socialists one the democratic primaries,
- 27:17Speaker 3: there are no Republicans there. It's really a battle of
- 27:21Speaker 3: the left versus the far left, and the fire left
- 27:25Speaker 3: is a winning because the lefts is not radical enough
- 27:29Speaker 3: for these new young voters in these districts. And I
- 27:34Speaker 3: think the Democratic Party really at this point has more
- 27:38Speaker 3: to worry about than the Republican Party.
- 27:41Speaker 2: Yeah, but do they really they got these young, crazy voters.
- 27:44Speaker 2: They're all going to have kids and raise young crazy
- 27:46Speaker 2: voters for another general. Yeah, well, do they really have
- 27:52Speaker 2: to worry? They seem to be big enough in numbers
- 27:55Speaker 2: to be winning elections.
- 27:57Speaker 3: Well, the turnout it's very very low, iking eight, ten,
- 28:03Speaker 3: twelve percent. So that's what happens when you get an
- 28:08Speaker 3: organized group, even though it's small and it's really super organized,
- 28:15Speaker 3: it can turn out, identify and turn out its voters.
- 28:19Speaker 3: Whereas the sbats of the world don't do anything right.
- 28:25Speaker 3: They sit there, they're elected year after year after year
- 28:29Speaker 3: because they have no Republican opponents, so they can go
- 28:33Speaker 3: to Washington and go to sleep and just vote with
- 28:37Speaker 3: the party, and they really end up the party is
- 28:40Speaker 3: happy with them, so there are no challenges within the party.
- 28:44Speaker 3: But now you had these far leftists. They're really not
- 28:48Speaker 3: even Democrats. They're socialists, and they're running in the primaries
- 28:54Speaker 3: and most of the time they're winning because the other
- 28:59Speaker 3: half of the electorate is asleep. They have not seen
- 29:04Speaker 3: this threat, and now suddenly they wake up and their
- 29:07Speaker 3: new congressman or a woman is a socialist who doesn't
- 29:12Speaker 3: gethere to any of the the uh, the ideas of
- 29:18Speaker 3: and that's the out or someone like that. It's what
- 29:21Speaker 3: AOC did a few years ago.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Queen's Yeah, so hey, Michael Goodwin, Bruce Blakeman, we really
- 29:28Speaker 2: need him to win. He's a little behind right now,
- 29:30Speaker 2: but he always comes from behind. If he wins, when
- 29:32Speaker 2: we hope he does. Is that the beginning and the
- 29:35Speaker 2: end of all this crap with the socialists.
- 29:38Speaker 3: Well, that would be an earthquake politically, it would. It
- 29:42Speaker 3: would really, I think, wake up both the Democrats and
- 29:47Speaker 3: of course the socialists. It will be a political earthquake,
- 29:52Speaker 3: because it's such as we haven't seen, you know, Mark,
- 29:55Speaker 3: as you and I discuss, I'm a little concern that
- 29:59Speaker 3: I you don't hear more from Blakeman. I don't see
- 30:03Speaker 3: more about him. I think he's running out of time.
- 30:08Speaker 3: The latest polls have him down by twenty and there's
- 30:12Speaker 3: still a lot of people who so they say they
- 30:15Speaker 3: don't know enough about him. It's getting late to fix that.
- 30:20Speaker 3: That should not be an issue at this point in
- 30:23Speaker 3: the campaign. He's ever got to make more noise.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Well, but the guy is flying all over the state.
- 30:29Speaker 2: You look at his schedule, He's running around everywhere. He's
- 30:31Speaker 2: on every TV show that will have him. His social
- 30:34Speaker 2: media is very good. What more can he do? I mean,
- 30:37Speaker 2: but also in the real polls that he's only down
- 30:39Speaker 2: eight percent.
- 30:40Speaker 3: But yeah, look, I think what more can he do?
- 30:45Speaker 3: I think the generic answer to the candidates who have
- 30:51Speaker 3: to come from behind, you have to make more noise.
- 30:56Speaker 3: You have to have ideas can catch fire, and you
- 31:03Speaker 3: have to be relentdous in being on the attack. I mean,
- 31:08Speaker 3: you have to go, you know, sportster the negative against
- 31:12Speaker 3: the incumbent, and you have to do it every day,
- 31:16Speaker 3: every occasion. It has to be something that you get
- 31:22Speaker 3: local attention and therefore you get the media's attention. Now,
- 31:26Speaker 3: look into in New York, the media is going to
- 31:29Speaker 3: be for Hope by and large because they're all Democrats. Nonetheless,
- 31:34Speaker 3: I think the key to a kind of revolutionary campaign
- 31:40Speaker 3: is you've got to make a lot of noise you
- 31:42Speaker 3: have to get. You have to grabb the attention so
- 31:45Speaker 3: the people that can understand what your ideas are and
- 31:50Speaker 3: what would change under a blankman governorship.
- 31:54Speaker 2: But again check out as social media. He does do that.
- 31:56Speaker 2: But you're right, the media just doesn't cover it. They
- 31:59Speaker 2: ignore it.
- 32:00Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that's a big that's a big problem. So
- 32:03Speaker 3: you know, look, he's not the first stand day to
- 32:05Speaker 3: face that problem. Yeah, he's just gonna have to find
- 32:08Speaker 3: a way to solve it.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. Well, Michael Goodwin, brilliant as always, will
- 32:12Speaker 2: be looking for your column tomorrow in the New York
- 32:15Speaker 2: Post and you can go read all his columns. They're
- 32:17Speaker 2: up on the New York Post website. Michael Goodwin, thanks
