• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of which, what is the most instagrammed city in the world.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Most instagrammable city in the world where people put up
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: pictures of the most instagrammable city in the world. Researchers
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: analyzed over eight hundred and ninety million Instagram posts featuring
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: whatever location was being used the most in instagrams in
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the world. Number one New York City. New York City
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: actually the most instagrammable city in the US. Now this
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: is very important because nowadays that's the way you do business,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: that's the way you get tourism. You know, remember the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: old days they run that I Love New York campaign.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: You'd run these TV commercials to get tourists to come
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: visit New York. It's a big source of revenue. It's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: very important. But nowadays, you know, very few people watch
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: TV anymore, network TV. So Instagram is the biggest way
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to generate business tourism. Same thing with the restaurants. Used
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to be you'd hope to get that New York Times
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: restaurant review. Oh, that would put you on them, but
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean anymore. You can get the biggest, greatest
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: review in the New York Times and nobody will show up.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: But you get the right Instagram accounts and you're all
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: over Instagram. There's a line out the door the next day.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: So New York being the most Instagram city in the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: world is very very important. Number of posts for each
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: city was counted and they divided all that, but New
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: York City boasted over one hundred and eighty three million
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Instagram posts. Biggest things where the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Christmas Tree, butt shots all over New York. Now it's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: important in New York because last year we got sixty
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: two million travelers, sixty two million people spending money here.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Very very important for the economy. Hey, you know the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: French president Sarkozzi married to Carla Bruni. You know French
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: president Sarkozi. You know he was convicted, Yeah, convicted of
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: conspiring to raise campaign funds from Libya. I don't know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: but he got convicted and he was sentenced to five years. Well,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: he went to prison this week. It's hard to believe
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the president of France went to prison. In France, it's
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: like seeing an American president go to prison. You know,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: when they were trying to get Donald Trump, when they
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: weaponized the justice system and had him on trial in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: four cities at the same time, Remember, they started to speculate, well,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: what would happen if he got sentenced to prison. How
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: would you put someone who's an ex president under the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: protection of the Secret Service? How would you put them
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in prison? And there were different theories on that they'd
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: have to send the Secret Service in with them to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: protect them, or they'd have to his prison would have
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to be a special setup somewhere where the Secret Service guards. Well,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: France had to deal with this question. They sent one
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: of their presidents to prison, Nicholas Sarkozzi. He's in prison.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: What they did was they sent two police officers with
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: them at all times to guard him in prison. So
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: he's in a private area of the prison. He's in
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a cell, but in a nearby cell are two policemen
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to guard him, their version of the secret service, So
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: we'll make sure nothing can happen to him while he's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in prison, The Interior ministers told the europe Born Radio.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Two police officers they're actually part of the security detail
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that protects former president, so it's actually their secret service,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and they'll be stationed permanently in neighboring cells to keep
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: an eye on him. Hey, you know, Chuck Schumer's in
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: big trouble, big trouble. This guy's got no chance of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: getting reelected to anything ever. He knows it. I guess
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it's is it next year? Yeah, it's next year. So
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: when it happens, I don't know what he does. We'll
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: even try to run now, scaring him off even more.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: AOC is the one most likely to run against him,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and she's raised a very impressive twelve million just in
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the last period, twelve million just recently. So she's up
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: now to twenty one million. So in this last fundraising
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: period she raised twelve million. Now listen to this, she
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: raised twelve million. Schumer raised one hundred and thirty three thousand.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I think that tells you the whole story right there.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Let me repeat that she raised twelve million. Schumer raised
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty three thousand. So he's finished. He's
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: got to get out. She has twenty one million dollars
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: on hand right now. Schumer has eight million dollars on hand,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and she's already spent. She's actually serious about this. She's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: actually spent millions on social media. You know, you could
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: look like you're a great instagrammer and all that, but
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you could also spend a lot of money to make
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: sure your Instagram and your TikTok and your everything is
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: going all over the place. And she's been spending millions
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: on that. That's actually more important now than TV commercials
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: or anything. But she spent a lot of money on
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: fundraising ads, which which will help her bring in even
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: more money. She's actually now the highest spending political advertiser
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on Facebook and Instagram nationwide. Now, this is the problem
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: for Democrats. You got these crazies taken over the party,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: from Donnie to AOC, the far left taken over the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: party if they want to ever get back to the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: White House. We've seen this before historically, and it goes
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: on for a couple of years. But then what has
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to happen is a centrist has to show up, like
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a Bill Clinton. Same thing happened there. Bill Clinton showed
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: up and showed the party the way back towards the center,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and that's how they got the White House back. Now
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: we haven't seen that centrist. You got this crazy JB. Pritzker,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you got the new scum, and you got all the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So we haven't seen the centrist show up yet. But
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: even Bill Maher, who's the one Democrat who sometimes talks
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: common sense to them, he said this week you need
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a return to the old America. He tells the left
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to scale back the radical ideology. And he said, the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: smug self righteousness, the smug self righteousness is turning a
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: lot of people off. Stop coming up with radically new
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and terrible ideas and in the next breath yelling and screaming,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: there's no debate. You have to do it because when
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you got conservatives, you got liberals, but you got the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: people in the middle, and that's who Democrats are losing
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: with this far left nonsense. And he said, you know
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna We're not going along with reinventing society,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: often pointlessly we're not canceling anything. We're not in the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: transgender you know, for teenagers, for children. It's all ridiculous,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: open borders. It's all backfired on them. And then Mars
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: says the real problem Democrats have and again the middle
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the independence turned off by this, the Democrats total unwillingness
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to debate anything, just yelling and screaming and angry at everybody.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And stop telling people math is racist, stop with the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: queers for Palestine, stop the looting is cool. Stop the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: men's football team playing the women's team. He says, it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: just smug, self righteous, idiotic. Again, it's starting. It's going
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to take another year process. Usually what has to happen.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Democrats will have to get wiped out in the midterms,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and then the far left will lose all their clout
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: within the democratic world. And then that Bill Clinton, moderate type,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: common sense, old fashioned Democrat then will rise up and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: take the party back towards the center. But we'll see
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: what happens. Hey, we're we're in the weekend already, and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: it's early voting starting this weekend. Early voting. You need
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a huge turnout race to that's the only way Mom
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Donnie loses huge huge turnout. Republicans have to show up
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in big numbers. Independents have to show up in big numbers,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So very important. Make sure you get out and vote.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Get everybody you know to get out and vote. Also,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you got a couple other races you can also make
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a big difference. Even if you get stuck with Mom Donnie.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You can make a big difference by throwing out a
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: lot of city council members. You got a lot of
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Republicans running from city council. Just switch city council, get
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: rid of some of these left wing koops, bring in
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: some Republicans, put some balance on the city council. That'll help. Also,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you got the world's craziest district attorney, Alvin Bragg, whose
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: whole thing is let the criminals out. You can get
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: rid of him in a way week and have that's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a key race. Maud Maren she's the Republican candidate. She's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: really a Democrat for years, but common sense likes to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: put the criminals in jail where they belong. Get rid
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of Alvin Bragg, vote for Maud marrin or district attorney.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: That will make a big difference in the crime problem.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Speaking of crime, Leticia James pleads not guilty in court.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: She's gonna have a tough time, though, very tough time.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: That documents make her look awfully guilty of mortgage fraud.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And who's next, Well, Adam Schiff has got a he's
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: probably keeping a good eye on this case because he's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: gonna have the same problem, same sort of mortgage fraud,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you know, lying on these applications claiming it's a primary residence.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Everybody thinks Adam Schiff will be next to face charges.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: So now they're going to say the same thing. It's lawfair.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: The definition of lawfair is you're on trail trial in
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: four different cities at the same time from the administration.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You know, the so zempic is everywhere. There's more ozempic
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: than ever before. There's a bunch of these things. It's ozampic,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: there's a GOV there's what's the other one. There's like
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: four of them now that are big. They're so big.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Costco Costco is getting into the ozempic business. Can you
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: imagine this everything at Costco? The sizes so it'd probably
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: be like a shopping cart size full of ozempic. But
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: it's very expensive. This ozempic. You know, it's like thirteen
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: hundred bucks a shot, and I guess you'd take it
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: every week, but it's very, very expensive. But ozempic now
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: being sold at Costco it's actually a four week supply. Now,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: this is pretty amazing. A four week supply for five
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars. That's like one hundred and twenty five bucks
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a week a shot. That's like one tenth of what
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it normally is. It's at more than six hundred Costco
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: pharmacies nationwide. Shoppers will need a valid prescription and you've
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: got to be enrolled in the Costco Member prescription program,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: you see. That's what it's all about. They want you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to it's such a great bargain. They're probably losing money
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: on it, but it'll get you to enroll and start
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: getting your other prescriptions. Costco wanting to take over the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: prescription business. That's what it's really all about. They call
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: what they call it a lost leader. It's like the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Costco hot dog, which is actually the most delicious hot
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: dog in the world, and they lose money on it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: You have to go to Costco and eat it there.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: It's phenomenal, even the bun. It's the best hot dog
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: bun ever, but you got to go order it there,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and it's just a great way to get you in
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the store and keep you coming back. It really really
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: does work. Yeah. Now the problem, the only problem. You
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: got to remember this is when it comes to this ozempic,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you get what's called ozempic face. You know, it's like sagging.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: If you see this with people they go on ozempic,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: they lose weight, body looks great, but they look older.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Their face looks older, their skin looks older. Plastic surgeons
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: have been telling me ozempic is the best thing for
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: their business because after they lose the weight on ozempic,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: they got to come to a plastic surgeon get the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: face cleaned up. The other thing is dentists are now
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: reporting ozembic teeth. It can cause a lot of problems
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: with your teeth, with your gums. So before you think
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: about that, just bear all that in mind. Hey, I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Love Lucy. That was like the first big major like
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: that was the Seinfeld of the fifties. In other words,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: everybody everybody watched I Love Lucy. He was so big
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: nineteen fifties. You remember Fred Mertz with the pants. Remember
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the pants came all the way up to his chest,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: all the way up to his breasts. The pants were
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: pulled so far up ethel Fred Mertz. Do you know
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: there's only one person left alive from I Love Lucy?
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Only one cast member is alive today. Take a guess. Yeah, absolutely,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: it's a little Ricky, A little Ricky who is His
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: name is Keith Thibodeaux, although he used a different name
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: on the credits. He was listed as Richard Keith, but
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: he played Little Ricky Ricardo. He's still alive, he said.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Lucille ball very very demanding. Yeah, I worked with her
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: once or twice, and I remember she would talk like this.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: She had that kind of a voice in real life.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Very very demanding. But it was a Elvis show, so
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: one cast member left from the whole thing. Hey, this
• 13:18
