- 0:10Speaker 2: ABC ooy I'm sorry, shi hi, Oh God, don't be sorry.
- 0:15Speaker 3: You kidding me.
- 0:17Speaker 4: I'm wrapped up in these meetings on peace. And I said,
- 0:21Speaker 4: it's between peace.
- 0:22Speaker 5: And Sid Rosenberg.
- 0:23Speaker 4: And I said, let's let's say Rosenberg.
- 0:25Speaker 6: Okay, So, first round of contract talk since the start
- 0:36Speaker 6: of the Long Island Railroads striking, but still no deal.
- 0:43Speaker 7: We all know that the railroad is the lifeblood of
- 0:46Speaker 7: Long Island.
- 0:47Speaker 8: The stage is set for a hellish Monday morning commute
- 0:50Speaker 8: and possibly days more of chaos.
- 0:54Speaker 9: I ask, is not unreasonable.
- 0:55Speaker 3: We need ideas about how to bridge the gap.
- 0:58Speaker 8: Commuters caught in the forced to find another way in
- 1:03Speaker 8: and out of the city.
- 1:04Speaker 10: The Long Island Railroad.
- 1:05Speaker 11: To see this's going on.
- 1:06Speaker 10: It's heartbreaking.
- 1:08Speaker 9: That'll definitely be a nightmare for commuters tonight.
- 1:11Speaker 7: The blame game this strike would not have been possible
- 1:15Speaker 7: if the Trump administration should have taken the highly unusual
- 1:18Speaker 7: step last fall of releasing labor unions for mediations shut one.
- 1:22Speaker 12: Hundred thousand plus people completely inconvenience because of the incompetency
- 1:28Speaker 12: of Kathy Hockel.
- 1:29Speaker 3: No, Kathy Hockel, No, you are to blame.
- 1:33Speaker 13: You cannot put this on Donald Trump or anybody else.
- 1:37Speaker 13: President Trump has only lifted and made the United States
- 1:42Speaker 13: great again, while you and your failed policies are destroying
- 1:46Speaker 13: New York State. The l r R strike is on you.
- 1:51Speaker 13: You are destroying our economy. You're destroying thousands of jobs,
- 1:56Speaker 13: and you are making it difficult for people to stay,
- 2:00Speaker 13: work and live in this great state of New York.
- 2:03Speaker 13: It is you who are responsible and you must take
- 2:06Speaker 13: the responsibility for your failed actions and your failed governorship.
- 2:11Speaker 13: You are to blame, and you cannot put this on
- 2:13Speaker 13: our great president. We need Bruce Blakeman in office now.
- 2:17Speaker 13: We need change in New York State to make New
- 2:21Speaker 13: York State great great again. Kathy Hockel, you are destroying
- 2:25Speaker 13: our state. You and you Will Loan are responsible for this.
- 2:28Speaker 12: We love our workers here in Nasau County and we
- 2:30Speaker 12: treat them right, and that's what Kathy Hochele should be doing.
- 2:34Speaker 12: So again, no congestion pricing during the strike. Get to
- 2:38Speaker 12: the bargaining table, Kathy Hogel, and get this strike over there.
- 2:42Speaker 14: President Trump minutes ago with another warning to Iran, writing
- 2:46Speaker 14: in a post quote for Iran. The clock is ticking
- 2:49Speaker 14: and they better get moving fast or there won't be
- 2:51Speaker 14: anything left of them. Time is of the essence. Earlier today,
- 2:56Speaker 14: the President spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netton Yahoo
- 2:59Speaker 14: on the phone. Iran at the center of that call.
- 3:02Speaker 14: Reports say the US and Israel are preparing for possible
- 3:05Speaker 14: strikes as a peace deal prospect stalls.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Getting back three. I ran for a second. Look. I
- 3:11Speaker 3: don't know if they're ever really going to stop in
- 3:13Speaker 3: witching the uranium. You go back to those two dopes,
- 3:16Speaker 3: Obama and Ary. Sorry, two dopes. They signed that shill.
- 3:19Speaker 3: They thought they did a great job. It took you
- 3:20Speaker 3: out of horrible deale. Yeah, one day, it took them
- 3:23Speaker 3: to actually go back on that deal. But do you
- 3:26Speaker 3: really feel forget about the straight up home moves for
- 3:28Speaker 3: one second, forget about regime change. Do you really feel
- 3:31Speaker 3: in your heart of hearts and you can stop Iran
- 3:34Speaker 3: from en witching uranium and never build a bomb?
- 3:38Speaker 4: One hundred one hundred percent. They're going to sab and
- 3:42Speaker 4: they told me, the Iranians show me I deal with them,
- 3:45Speaker 4: and they said that we're going to get the desk.
- 3:48Speaker 4: I call it the nuclear desk. Is it's appropriate, it's
- 3:50Speaker 4: easier for people to understand, and we're going to get it.
- 3:53Speaker 4: The problem is there's only two countries in the world
- 3:56Speaker 4: that can get it, Us in China because nobody has
- 3:58Speaker 4: the equipment.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Because when we.
- 3:59Speaker 15: Buy it was a total that I was right, it
- 4:03Speaker 15: was a total obliteration. The entire mountain collapsed on top
- 4:06Speaker 15: of it. And they said the Iranians told me, they said, nope,
- 4:10Speaker 15: you'll it'll be yours. But then they changed them up.
- 4:12Speaker 15: But they did say because you know, they demeaned the
- 4:15Speaker 15: BE two bombers. Those guys every shot hit day. We
- 4:19Speaker 15: sent in Tomahawks from a submarine. They all hit, but.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Every shot hit, and they demeaned the B two bombers.
- 4:25Speaker 4: When CNN start saying, you know, well, maybe it wasn't
- 4:27Speaker 4: that bit. Iran told me that it was so devastating
- 4:33Speaker 4: that no country in the world other than us, and
- 4:35Speaker 4: they said China would be able to as a machinery
- 4:39Speaker 4: to be able to get that.
- 4:42Speaker 16: So here's what the mayor of New York did today.
- 4:44Speaker 16: He posted a tribute to Knock Badet a day of
- 4:47Speaker 16: mourning for the creation of Israel. That's right, and this
- 4:50Speaker 16: is what his words have inflamed. Now let me explain
- 4:53Speaker 16: what knock bade actually means. In nineteen forty seven, the
- 4:57Speaker 16: United Nations voted to split the land into two states,
- 5:00Speaker 16: one for Jews, one for Arabs. The Jews said yes,
- 5:03Speaker 16: the Arabs said no. The day Israel was born, five
- 5:06Speaker 16: Arab armies invaded to destroy it Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq
- 5:11Speaker 16: and Lebanon. They told the local Arabs to get out
- 5:14Speaker 16: of the way. We'll push the Jews into the sea.
- 5:17Speaker 3: They said, you.
- 5:18Speaker 16: Can come back when we win, but they lost. The
- 5:21Speaker 16: Jews survived. The Arabs who left could not come back.
- 5:26Speaker 16: Blame the five Arab armies who thought they would win.
- 5:29Speaker 16: And that is where the seven hundred thousand refugees came from.
- 5:32Speaker 16: They were not expelled by Israel, they were displaced by
- 5:36Speaker 16: a war their own leaders started and lost. The word
- 5:40Speaker 16: nakba means catastrophe in Arabic. It was coined in nineteen
- 5:44Speaker 16: forty eight by an Arab scholar named Konstantine Zurich. He
- 5:48Speaker 16: did not use it to describe Israel. He used it
- 5:51Speaker 16: to describe the shameful failure of Arab armies to wipe
- 5:55Speaker 16: out the Jewish state.
- 5:57Speaker 11: That is the.
- 5:57Speaker 16: Original meaning from an Arab in Arabic. In nineteen forty eight,
- 6:01Speaker 16: the catastrophe was that the Arabs tried to commit genocide
- 6:04Speaker 16: against the Jews and failed. In the nineteen nineties, activists
- 6:08Speaker 16: rebranded it. They turned Zurich's word for Arab failure into
- 6:13Speaker 16: a word for Jewish guilt. And they made the aggressor
- 6:16Speaker 16: into the victim, and the victim into the aggressor. The
- 6:19Speaker 16: catastrophe being mourned is not displacement, it's the existence of
- 6:24Speaker 16: the Jewish state itself. So understand what the Mayor of
- 6:27Speaker 16: New York actually did today. He mourned the survival of
- 6:30Speaker 16: Israel and did it in his official capacity as mayor.
- 6:34Speaker 16: He mourned the fact that the Jews were not destroyed
- 6:36Speaker 16: in nineteen forty eight, and he lit a match in
- 6:39Speaker 16: his own city.
- 6:41Speaker 11: This is who runs.
- 6:42Speaker 16: New York City. Now there is no ceiling to his
- 6:46Speaker 16: hatred of the Jews. He'll keep climbing, and every Jew
- 6:49Speaker 16: in this city will pay for it.
- 6:51Speaker 1: They're young people.
- 6:52Speaker 17: Their key constituency not only don't like their own civilization,
- 6:56Speaker 17: they liked the wrong one. They actually think Hamas is
- 7:00Speaker 17: a liberation movement. They chant for the houthies. They're chanting
- 7:04Speaker 17: we will honor our martyrs at Yale. They're looking for
- 7:07Speaker 17: love in all the wrong countries. Someone needs to tell
- 7:11Speaker 17: the kids that America is not the society where women
- 7:14Speaker 17: basically have no rights, where there's zero freedom of religion,
- 7:18Speaker 17: and where dissent is punishable by death.
- 7:20Speaker 3: But we still have elections. They don't.
- 7:24Speaker 17: And yet at Coachella this year, when an Irish rap
- 7:27Speaker 17: group projected onto screens, Israel Free Palestine got big applause.
- 7:33Speaker 17: Globalize the Intefada is the catchphrase that's really catching on
- 7:37Speaker 17: these days, as if worldwide suicide bombing and costplaying Islamic
- 7:42Speaker 17: revolutionaries is the answer to our problems. At an AOC
- 7:46Speaker 17: Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month, someone threw a
- 7:50Speaker 17: Palestinian flag over an American flag and the crowd.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Erupted in approval.
- 7:55Speaker 17: What should have happened after that is one of the
- 7:57Speaker 17: adults on stage should have told their young life oil followers,
- 8:01Speaker 17: this is not a symbol of freedom.
- 8:03Speaker 5: This is.
- 8:07Speaker 3: I wear it proudly wherever I am. I want the
- 8:09Speaker 3: world to know I'm doing.
- 8:15Speaker 18: At the end of the day, the Jewish people are
- 8:17Speaker 18: much bigger than any one of us. I will fight
- 8:20Speaker 18: for the Jewish people until God grows me home if you.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Want a very very religious household. But I was still
- 8:25Speaker 3: a very, very proud to you. I'd fight you in
- 8:27Speaker 3: the street, and still will if you're sending negative about
- 8:29Speaker 3: the Jewish people. Not a little bit more proud to
- 8:31Speaker 3: be a Jew.
- 8:32Speaker 18: Never October seventh changed me. I woke up October the
- 8:35Speaker 18: eighth and I cried for about an hour. I said,
- 8:37Speaker 18: for now on, I will be a different Jew that
- 8:39Speaker 18: I've been my whole life.
- 8:40Speaker 3: I'm not scared in New York City. I'm not scared
- 8:43Speaker 3: in France. I'm not scared anymore.
- 8:47Speaker 19: Cavaliers will drivele out the clock, and this topsy Turkey
- 8:53Speaker 19: series belongs to Cleveland. I'll blowout K seven wins in
- 8:58Speaker 19: Detroit to advance to the Eastern Conference finals. They get
- 9:05Speaker 19: there for the first time since twenty eighteen.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Next up the New York Knicks. The mayor once again
- 9:16Speaker 3: showing how much he hates the Jews. Man he hates us.
- 9:19Speaker 3: That knock bad day. You heard Samantha Edis talk about
- 9:24Speaker 3: it in the open. What a disgrace, I mean, what
- 9:27Speaker 3: an absolute disgrace. Somebody needs to give this moron, this
- 9:31Speaker 3: radical jihad mayor, a history lesson. Don't get mad at
- 9:36Speaker 3: me when I call them names, folks, Seriously, you few
- 9:40Speaker 3: you know. I count out to you, folks, and I
- 9:42Speaker 3: apologize and I felt bad. He is the lowest piece
- 9:46Speaker 3: of garbage we've ever had in any political capacity in
- 9:50Speaker 3: the history of our country. If you don't like it,
- 9:53Speaker 3: change the channel, move on. I don't care. I really
- 9:56Speaker 3: don't care. This guy finds a way to rewrite history
- 10:00Speaker 3: every day. What happened nach Bah Day was that after
- 10:04Speaker 3: in nineteen forty seven United Nations resolution where they decided
- 10:10Speaker 3: that we're gonna split up the land between Israel and
- 10:12Speaker 3: the Arabs. The Arabs decided from five different countries that's
- 10:17Speaker 3: not good enough, so we're gonna kill all the Israelis
- 10:20Speaker 3: and take over. So they started the war in nineteen
- 10:23Speaker 3: forty eight. And what did we do. We finished it
- 10:25Speaker 3: just like we always do. Doesn't matter one nation, five nations,
- 10:29Speaker 3: ten nations, terrorist commas Huti's gazpola. In the end, you're
- 10:34Speaker 3: going to lose. We didn't start the war in nineteen
- 10:37Speaker 3: forty eight. It was five on one, and we still
- 10:40Speaker 3: kicked your ass, and you got a set of balls, Mayor,
- 10:43Speaker 3: Mom Donnie, to rewrite that history and make it seem
- 10:46Speaker 3: like the Arabs of Palestinians were the sympathetic victims here.
- 10:50Speaker 3: And this lady that you talked about, no one even
- 10:53Speaker 3: knows if she even exists. You remember, after nine to
- 10:55Speaker 3: eleven he had that bull Craft story about his aunt,
- 10:58Speaker 3: his aunt that was on the try who nearly got
- 11:01Speaker 3: beat up because she was Muslim, And then it turned
- 11:03Speaker 3: out that was a complete lie. Maybe this lady Iliana
- 11:06Speaker 3: is a complete lie too. I don't know, and I
- 11:08Speaker 3: don't care. All I know is he is we written history.
- 11:12Speaker 3: He did it on Shavis just to really stick it
- 11:14Speaker 3: up the Jews ass. And he's a liar. He's a filthy,
- 11:18Speaker 3: disgusting Jew hating liar. That's Mom Donnie. Anybody who has
- 11:23Speaker 3: anything nice to say about that man, please do me
- 11:26Speaker 3: a favor. I'm begging you. Don't ever talk to me.
- 11:28Speaker 3: Don't talk to me. Don't don't tell me you like
- 11:31Speaker 3: the show. I don't care, don't listen. I don't care.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Knack bade in New York City, He's the mayor of
- 11:38Speaker 3: New York City. Only in Israel are they're more Jewish
- 11:42Speaker 3: people than in New York City. And this lowlife, that's
- 11:46Speaker 3: what he is. He's a lowlife, comes out with this lie,
- 11:50Speaker 3: this knockbond nonsense. So Andrasik, who's the lead singer for Fighting,
- 11:56Speaker 3: saw my tweet. He's a great American, he loves President Trump,
- 12:00Speaker 3: he loves Israel, and he responded in kind with a
- 12:04Speaker 3: thank you. Whatever the hell he roade, I don't know.
- 12:06Speaker 3: And then he came back and said, see it, take
- 12:08Speaker 3: a listen to this, and it was his his song Superman,
- 12:12Speaker 3: a great song by five for Fighting in that duet
- 12:15Speaker 3: with Alone. So Lewis the great lu Rafino played it

- 12:30Speaker 20: He's really moving John already. You know, he has an
- 12:32Speaker 20: amazing voice and very talented. And it was crazy when
- 12:37Speaker 20: you look at it, when you hear it, it's yeah,
- 12:42Speaker 20: it was crazy to watch.
- 12:44Speaker 10: And the guy's obviously a talented piano player too.
- 12:48Speaker 3: Oh, he's terrific. He's terrific, so thank you to John Andresick,
- 12:51Speaker 3: who will be joining us I believe this week. That's right,

- 13:00Speaker 3: be on this show coming up this week, and has
- 13:02Speaker 3: a bunch of songs from that band that I love.

- 13:06Speaker 3: I love that song one hundred years. I love that
- 13:09Speaker 3: song World. What kind of world do you want? We
- 13:11Speaker 3: play all these songs on this show. So thank you
- 13:14Speaker 3: to John Onrasik and Five for Fighting. We're also going
- 13:17Speaker 3: to replay that Samantha Edis video at some point because
- 13:21Speaker 3: New Yorkers need an education. Not the smart ones. They
- 13:24Speaker 3: know what happened in nineteen forty eight. Shub knock up
- 13:28Speaker 3: your ass, mister Mayer liar, But we'll replay it with
- 13:32Speaker 3: the folks who may not know, for the folks who
- 13:34Speaker 3: actually want to learn, the folks who may even be
- 13:38Speaker 3: I don't know, bording on anti semitic, Maybe you'll find
- 13:40Speaker 3: out why you look worse and worse every day like
- 13:44Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson. This guy, Tucker Carlson is such a liar,
- 13:48Speaker 3: and he was exposed. This was such great video. You know,
- 13:52Speaker 3: he came out he's against the Iran war. And it
- 13:54Speaker 3: looks like the Iran War may be restarting again. President
- 13:58Speaker 3: Trump with a very very serious message to Iran. The
- 14:03Speaker 3: clock is ticking. Most people think by Wednesday or Thursday,
- 14:08Speaker 3: the United States and Israel will resume the attacks on Iran,
- 14:12Speaker 3: which doesn't bode well for my daughter Ava heading to
- 14:15Speaker 3: Israel in about a week and a half and for
- 14:17Speaker 3: me heading to Israel on June eighteenth. We'll see where
- 14:19Speaker 3: that stands. But it's not about us. It looks like
- 14:22Speaker 3: Wednesday or Thursday this thing may resume. And Tucker Callson
- 14:26Speaker 3: is so angry about the Iran War. No one knows why,
- 14:30Speaker 3: but he's so angry, so angry that at one point
- 14:33Speaker 3: he actually referred to President Trump President Trump as the
- 14:36Speaker 3: anti Christ. He referred to President Trump as the anti Christ.
- 14:43Speaker 3: But then when he was pressed by a young lady
- 14:46Speaker 3: reporter unless we saw this gnome, he denied it. He said,
- 14:50Speaker 3: I never said that. Those words never came out of
- 14:52Speaker 3: my mouth. I don't even know what an anti Christ is.
- 14:54Speaker 3: So when I tell you folks out there about Tucker Carlson,
- 14:58Speaker 3: what a lying, thieving, piece of anti Semitic garbage. He is.
- 15:02Speaker 3: Just listen, okay, just listen. Scott Jennings, my dear friend
- 15:07Speaker 3: at CNN, really exposed him. Have you seen this video, Gnome?
- 15:11Speaker 21: I have not, but I listened to the interview he
- 15:13Speaker 21: did with that NPR reporter who caught him a number
- 15:16Speaker 21: of times, where she she was the one who you know,
- 15:18Speaker 21: said that you made these statements and he denied, and
- 15:21Speaker 21: then she would play them.
- 15:22Speaker 3: That's right, That's exactly what I'm going to play now.
- 15:24Speaker 3: The NPR report, A very goodnome. Scott Jennings from CNN
- 15:28Speaker 3: narrates this and he points it all out. So if
- 15:31Speaker 3: you're a Tucker Callson fan, shame on you. He has
- 15:34Speaker 3: proven to be. He has been proven, i should say,
- 15:36Speaker 3: to be a liar, just like all the anti Semites
- 15:39Speaker 3: out there. This is a cut number seven. Tucker Carlson
- 15:42Speaker 3: Lewis exposed.
- 15:44Speaker 22: Tucker Carlson has turned against President Trump in the most
- 15:49Speaker 22: personal way that you possibly can. He is mad at
- 15:52Speaker 22: Trump over the war in Iran, he says, and on
- 15:56Speaker 22: his show, if you've heard it, he is at times
- 15:59Speaker 22: or you or at least questioned whether Donald Trump is
- 16:03Speaker 22: the Antichrist. He has also said in this interview that
- 16:05Speaker 22: he believes Donald Trump is a slave or a hostage
- 16:09Speaker 22: to net Yahoo or Israel or the Jews, or what
- 16:13Speaker 22: have you. It seems to me it has to be
- 16:14Speaker 22: one or the other. Are you a supernatural evil being
- 16:17Speaker 22: or are you some weak hostage or slave to other people?
- 16:20Speaker 22: I don't think you could be both. I want you
- 16:23Speaker 22: to listen to this exchange with Lulu. Here's the question.
- 16:28Speaker 22: She calls Tucker out about this idea of wondering aloud
- 16:32Speaker 22: about Trump being the anti Christ.
- 16:34Speaker 3: Here, Tucker, deny it. Cut number eight.
- 16:37Speaker 23: You've been talking on your show about whether Trump is
- 16:39Speaker 23: the Antichrist.
- 16:41Speaker 24: I have none said that.
- 16:42Speaker 23: On your show the day after Easter, you noted he
- 16:45Speaker 23: did not put his hand on the Bible during his
- 16:47Speaker 23: swearing ceremonious president. You said, and I'm quoting, maybe he
- 16:50Speaker 23: didn't put his hand on the Bible because he affirmatively
- 16:52Speaker 23: rejects what's inside that book. And then on a recent
- 16:55Speaker 23: show you went further saying, here's a leader who's mocking
- 16:58Speaker 23: the gods of his ancestors, mocking the god of gods
- 17:00Speaker 23: and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist.
- 17:05Speaker 24: I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist?
- 17:07Speaker 22: Okay, okay, you heard Tucker deny it when presented with
- 17:11Speaker 22: direct evidence by Lulu Garcia. He denied it in the room.
- 17:15Speaker 22: And if you watch the video, by the way, he
- 17:17Speaker 22: looks you're dead the eye and denies it. Well, let's
- 17:21Speaker 22: see what happens next. Here is evidence that Lulu brought
- 17:24Speaker 22: up in read to Tucker in its actual audio and
- 17:27Speaker 22: video form, cut number nine.
- 17:29Speaker 25: Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors,
- 17:34Speaker 25: mocking the god of gods and exalting himself above them.
- 17:38Speaker 25: Could this be the Antichrist?
- 17:40Speaker 26: Oh?
- 17:41Speaker 24: Well, who knows. I don't know where that comes from.
- 17:45Speaker 24: But I know that those words never left my lips
- 17:47Speaker 24: because I'm not sure I fully understand what the Antichrist is.
- 17:50Speaker 24: If there's just so you don't, I actually tried to understand.
- 17:53Speaker 3: It, I shot it, So there it is. And Lulu
- 17:57Speaker 3: Garcia works for the New York Times, not the MPO.
- 18:00Speaker 3: But at any rate, done know him. You heard that
- 18:02Speaker 3: before you were right dead. Caught him dead right there,
- 18:05Speaker 3: set it flat out. I wonder if he's the anti Christ?
- 18:08Speaker 3: And he denied it, and he denied it. I'm trying
- 18:10Speaker 3: to tell you folks. For some of you folks out
- 18:12Speaker 3: there that still like him, I don't know why. He
- 18:14Speaker 3: is a thieving liar. He's an anti Semit, thieving liar.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Something happened to this guy, and it is over. Now
- 18:22Speaker 3: it's gone. Mike Cookabee said it this weekend. Mike Cookabe said,
- 18:25Speaker 3: actually feel badly for Tucker. That's how irrational and crazy
- 18:30Speaker 3: he's become. I never said that word. Well there it
- 18:33Speaker 3: is right there, President Trump, the anti Christ. So I
- 18:36Speaker 3: guess we caught him right now.
- 18:38Speaker 21: Well, there was a number of times where she called
- 18:40Speaker 21: him during that interview, and then he would backtrack.
- 18:42Speaker 9: He said, well, I guess I said it.
- 18:44Speaker 3: I guess I did. Yeah, he doesn't care. There's no
- 18:46Speaker 3: repercussion because he doesn't lose any audience.
- 18:48Speaker 9: He doesn't. He probably gains audience he does.
- 18:50Speaker 3: Him and Megan Kelly and all these people, they're doing
- 18:53Speaker 3: great because it is chic and fantastic to hate the Jews,
- 18:58Speaker 3: even though you come off as a hate anti Semite.
- 19:01Speaker 3: That's the way it's supposed to be. Now, so he
- 19:03Speaker 3: can flat out get caught say okay, maybe I did
- 19:06Speaker 3: say it, and nothing's gonna happen, hen Meghan Kelly, Candice Owens,
- 19:10Speaker 3: that lowlife. They're all doing great. So Frank, thank you
- 19:13Speaker 3: Frank for pointing out Morono. That was a New York
- 19:15Speaker 3: Times reporter. But of course, the biggest story in the
- 19:18Speaker 3: city today is not Tucker Carlson. It's not John andrsik
- 19:21Speaker 3: and what's going on with Iran. The biggest story today
- 19:25Speaker 3: is this Long Island railroad strike. We're in day three
- 19:29Speaker 3: and I have an exclusive interview with Bruce Blakeman coming up.
- 19:32Speaker 3: I did it very early this morning. He's gonna come
- 19:35Speaker 3: up here in a couple of minutes, the Nashau County
- 19:37Speaker 3: executive running against Kathy Hochko for governor. I'm sure he'll
- 19:41Speaker 3: be everywhere today, rose Anascado, every network. I mean maybe
- 19:44Speaker 3: in Fox News. He'll be everywhere. But who was the
- 19:47Speaker 3: first to get Bruce Blakeman?
- 19:48Speaker 16: Me?
- 19:49Speaker 3: So today day three? And day three is the most
- 19:51Speaker 3: important day. Why because today is the first day that
- 19:54Speaker 3: people actually have to get to work. So yesterday I
- 19:58Speaker 3: spent the day at the Ubs Arena, the home of
- 20:01Speaker 3: Lou Rupino's New York Islanders. Never been there before. Nice place,
- 20:06Speaker 3: very nice. John Duckie's a sweet man. We spoke a
- 20:10Speaker 3: lot about John Leadeccie, me and Bill O'Reilly faday night
- 20:13Speaker 3: as we sat in the owner's box. Steve Cohens sweet
- 20:17Speaker 3: at the met Yankee game, I'll get to that. That
- 20:18Speaker 3: was a great time, and Steve Cohen was very, very nice,
- 20:22Speaker 3: very hospitable. I actually had a chance to shake hands
- 20:25Speaker 3: with mister and missus met So I think that that
- 20:29Speaker 3: war may be over. We'll talk about that later. But
- 20:31Speaker 3: getting back to the Ubs arena, So I had the
- 20:34Speaker 3: honor thanks to Gabriel Boxer and the Israel Elite Hockey League. Yes,
- 20:40Speaker 3: the i EHL, the eight teams that play competitive hockey
- 20:44Speaker 3: against each other in Israel. The league starts up in June,
- 20:48Speaker 3: and now for two straight years, Tel Aviv plays Jerusalem
- 20:52Speaker 3: on Long Island here in New York as an exhibition
- 20:55Speaker 3: game before they start the regular season in Israel, and
- 20:58Speaker 3: they sell a lot of tickets. People get very very
- 21:01Speaker 3: excited about it. Well, when I got to the stadium yesterday,
- 21:04Speaker 3: it was a nice amount of people, very nice eighty
- 21:07Speaker 3: two degrees Sunday, anton Hoo. Because don't forget this game
- 21:10Speaker 3: was supposed to take place a couple of months ago
- 21:12Speaker 3: on that Sunday when Lewis, we got that massive snowstorm,
- 21:16Speaker 3: so they had to postpone the game to this weekend.
- 21:19Speaker 3: And the weather didn't help, and the strike didn't help.
- 21:22Speaker 3: I was told at least two thousand of the fans
- 21:26Speaker 3: who wanted to go to yesterday's game couldn't make it
- 21:28Speaker 3: to the UBS Arena because of the Long Island Railroad strike.
- 21:32Speaker 3: And I saw Bruce Blakeman there yesterday, and Mazzi Pillop
- 21:35Speaker 3: and a host of other great people. We'll get to
- 21:37Speaker 3: all of them, Johnny Daniels, and saw my friend led
- 21:40Speaker 3: Wild she's terrific, and Alison Devlin and a whole bunch
- 21:44Speaker 3: of very very nice people. So they couldn't make it
- 21:47Speaker 3: in yesterday. But today, of course, is the first workday.
- 21:51Speaker 3: And the number that I hear that traveled to work
- 21:53Speaker 3: every day from the island is three hundred thousand people.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Is that right home?
- 21:56Speaker 21: Yet somewhere between two fifty three hundred thousand. Yeah, it's
- 21:59Speaker 21: a lot of it is well. LI doub R is
- 22:02Speaker 21: the largest commuter rail line in the nation.
- 22:05Speaker 3: The largest one. Yeah. Okay, so now you got about
- 22:07Speaker 3: three hundred thousand people who need to find their way
- 22:10Speaker 3: into work this morning in a city that is already
- 22:14Speaker 3: maligned with terrible traffic and a ridiculous congestion pricing. I
- 22:18Speaker 3: remember when I first started and HKO was boasting how
- 22:21Speaker 3: great it's working. Even you know me, You're like, oh,
- 22:23Speaker 3: it's so much easier to travel in the city. Now
- 22:26Speaker 3: it has been proven not to work. It's a mess.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Congestion pricing is a disaster. But you would think now
- 22:32Speaker 3: that Kathy hkel has not stopped this strike, that at
- 22:35Speaker 3: the very least now because people have to drive into
- 22:38Speaker 3: the city, that she would pause. She's got the power
- 22:41Speaker 3: to do it, she can do it, she would pause
- 22:43Speaker 3: congestion pricing. But she's not gonna do it because she's
- 22:46Speaker 3: the wicked witch of the East. She is an evil, wretched,
- 22:50Speaker 3: disgusting governor and human being, this Kathy Hukel. So she's
- 22:54Speaker 3: gonna make people drive into the city while blaming Trump,
- 22:57Speaker 3: You're nothing to do with this, while blaming Trump, and
- 23:00Speaker 3: charge them and extra nine dollars if they could even
- 23:03Speaker 3: find a parking spot in all these garages, they're all
- 23:06Speaker 3: going to be packed. So right now today, Nassau County,
- 23:09Speaker 3: Suffolk County, these poor people, they're freaking out for no reason.
- 23:14Speaker 3: I was also told home, maybe you can confirm this
- 23:17Speaker 3: that they're not that far apart the two sides, that
- 23:21Speaker 3: it didn't have to come to this. But she's all
- 23:24Speaker 3: too happy, Cappy, letting the New Yorkers suffer because it's
- 23:28Speaker 3: something else. She finds a way to blame President Trump wore,
- 23:31Speaker 3: when the truth is he has nothing to do with this.
- 23:34Speaker 3: You understand that, nome right, Yeah.
- 23:35Speaker 21: Well, the two sides were forced into mediation again yesterday,
- 23:39Speaker 21: and apparently the talks went past midnight last night, and
- 23:43Speaker 21: both sides said that progress was made and the stumbling
- 23:46Speaker 21: blocks is soary in the fourth year of this deal
- 23:50Speaker 21: and then contributions to health plans, so it doesn't seem
- 23:54Speaker 21: like there should be a lot of mileage to make up,
- 23:57Speaker 21: but apparently there has been. And so here we are,
- 23:59Speaker 21: day three of the strike, first day, weekday, and we
- 24:01Speaker 21: don't know what it means. In fact, in Queen's you know,
- 24:04Speaker 21: you have Donovan Richards, the Queen's President. He's worried about
- 24:08Speaker 21: just the whole borough being overwhelmed with people who don't
- 24:10Speaker 21: want to pay for congestion pricing parking there. Then going
- 24:13Speaker 21: to the Jamaica station, which is one of the biggest
- 24:15Speaker 21: subway stops in the system and overwhelming that so he
- 24:19Speaker 21: doesn't know what to expel.
- 24:20Speaker 3: That's that's the same station as the airport, right the
- 24:23Speaker 3: Jamaica station. I thought so or maybe they have a
- 24:25Speaker 3: No I'm one, am I saying sorry, No, it's not. Yes,
- 24:29Speaker 3: Donovan is my borough president. I do live in Queens.
- 24:32Speaker 3: I understand why he's nervous. Yeah, this is a mess
- 24:36Speaker 3: and there's no reason for it. Here is Bruce Blakeman again,
- 24:40Speaker 3: is going to join me in about ten minutes exclusive
- 24:43Speaker 3: conversation with the Nashville County executive and if God is
- 24:47Speaker 3: good towards the next governor here in New York. Bruce Blakeman.
- 24:50Speaker 3: This was Bruce on the l R strike yesterday. This
- 24:54Speaker 3: is cutting number three, Lewis.
- 24:56Speaker 12: We love our workers here in Nassau County and we
- 24:58Speaker 12: treat them right and that's what Kathy Hope should be doing.
- 25:02Speaker 12: So again, no congestion pricing during the strike. Get to
- 25:06Speaker 12: the bargaining table, Kathy huge and get this strike.
- 25:08Speaker 3: Over there you have it. Anything else we need to
- 25:12Speaker 3: know about this, specifically when.
- 25:14Speaker 21: It's just a nightmare because they can't accommodate any of
- 25:17Speaker 21: these people, right, they're talking about buses from four or
- 25:19Speaker 21: five stations to the Jamaica station, or two subways that'll
- 25:22Speaker 21: take you the rest of the way into the city.
- 25:24Speaker 9: But you're talking like ten fifteen thousand people.
- 25:26Speaker 21: They'll be able to accommodate, so essential workers will get
- 25:29Speaker 21: those seats and everybody else is kind of screwed, and
- 25:32Speaker 21: hopefully you can work from home.
- 25:33Speaker 27: Maybe.
- 25:34Speaker 21: Look, the advantage over this strike over the last one,
- 25:36Speaker 21: which was nineteen ninety four, is we went through COVID,
- 25:38Speaker 21: so people know how to work from home.
- 25:40Speaker 9: So that's a bigger deal. So you'll have fewer people trying.
- 25:44Speaker 21: To get into the city than they did, you know,
- 25:45Speaker 21: almost thirty years ago when you had the last strike.
- 25:47Speaker 21: But still there's a lot of people who have to
- 25:49Speaker 21: be sitting in their office, so it's a huge deal.
- 25:52Speaker 3: Right, we'll get to Bouce Plateman again about this Long
- 25:55Speaker 3: Island Railroad strike. A lot of your folks on Long
- 25:57Speaker 3: Island listen to me. I've got unbelievable ratings out there,
- 26:00Speaker 3: you know, you know, we do the ratings and the
- 26:03Speaker 3: weeklies come in and again I destroyed the competition on Friday,
- 26:07Speaker 3: we do. They cover all four hours of my show,
- 26:10Speaker 3: let me know that. But our stationed, the UPEM station
- 26:13Speaker 3: out on the island, they cover all four hours of
- 26:16Speaker 3: our show, and we get a pretty big number out there.
- 26:20Speaker 3: And really, what we should be doing, if we're going
- 26:22Speaker 3: to be fair about this when we talk about ratings,
- 26:24Speaker 3: and I've told this to John and Chad, we should
- 26:27Speaker 3: be adding that station to my numbers here in New
- 26:29Speaker 3: York City. And when you do that sometimes I win
- 26:32Speaker 3: by four points. You don't just exclude it because it's
- 26:35Speaker 3: Long Island. Well number one out there. The New Yorkers
- 26:37Speaker 3: last I checked, right, use New Yorkers the whole summer
- 26:41Speaker 3: people are on the Hampton's listening to me, Me, not Curtis,
- 26:45Speaker 3: not anybody else me. So we destroyed them again on Friday,
- 26:49Speaker 3: and we do really well out on Long Island. Thank you, guys,
- 26:52Speaker 3: and my heart goes out to you. That's why I'm
- 26:54Speaker 3: bringing on Bruce Plateman in the next few minutes to
- 26:56Speaker 3: try to give you guys some hope that this will
- 26:59Speaker 3: not go for well as long as the ieron Moore
- 27:02Speaker 3: about that what else is out there this morning?
- 27:04Speaker 21: Nor on what else you got By the way, the
- 27:06Speaker 21: time spent listening on WLR, which is one of the
- 27:09Speaker 21: ways they e gauge how many how people are listening
- 27:12Speaker 21: to us on WR which is our long eye went outlets.
- 27:14Speaker 9: Just outrageous. We're number one.
- 27:16Speaker 21: Yeah, when it comes to time spent listening, I mean
- 27:18Speaker 21: the second place person station, which I don't remember what
- 27:21Speaker 21: it is, is not even close, not even so far ahead.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Well, it's the same thing with the rating. So the
- 27:25Speaker 3: second place person at our own station, and we beat
- 27:28Speaker 3: the competition not even close. Yeah, a full point behind
- 27:31Speaker 3: in the rating, point as much as one hundred thousand
- 27:33Speaker 3: behind in QUM. And this is not to put myself
- 27:37Speaker 3: above anybody here or across the street. But the truth is,
- 27:40Speaker 3: no one's close here there, anywhere we own it. We're
- 27:44Speaker 3: killing everybody, killing everybody. I believe about a three point
- 27:48Speaker 3: seventy five time spent listening the last weekly here in
- 27:51Speaker 3: New York. Across the street, they barely get a three.
- 27:54Speaker 3: So any number that you care about in this business,
- 27:56Speaker 3: and I know this business better than anybody, better than
- 27:58Speaker 3: a lot of executives, trust, But doing this for twenty
- 28:01Speaker 3: seven years, okay, it's not close. It's never gonna be close.
- 28:05Speaker 3: It's not do something else, run fam mayor again, I
- 28:09Speaker 3: don't know, start up a new chapter of the Angels.
- 28:12Speaker 3: Do something else, because you're not gonna get close. You're
- 28:14Speaker 3: getting murdered, murdered in this little game of yours. What
- 28:20Speaker 3: else is going on in the city.
- 28:21Speaker 21: Buddy, Well you mentioned this, but President Trump, taking to
- 28:24Speaker 21: truth social yesterday, warning Iran again sharply worded post saying
- 28:29Speaker 21: that the clock is sticking for Iran. He added that
- 28:31Speaker 21: they better get moving faster there won't be anything left
- 28:34Speaker 21: to them. He concluded by saying that time is of
- 28:37Speaker 21: the essence, and as you suggested, this war could start
- 28:40Speaker 21: up in just a couple of days if Iran isn't
- 28:42Speaker 21: quick to respond.
- 28:43Speaker 3: Yeah, looking at possibly Wednesday or Thursday. And look, we're
- 28:48Speaker 3: gonna be fine. I do worry about Israel. Talked about
- 28:50Speaker 3: that a couple of times already this morning. Because the
- 28:54Speaker 3: Adians can't hit Staten Island, they can't hit Cincinnati, you know,
- 28:58Speaker 3: so what do they do? They start sending missiles over
- 29:01Speaker 3: to Tel Aviv. And my daughter is set to go
- 29:02Speaker 3: there next week, and I'm not gonna stop her. I'm
- 29:05Speaker 3: just not that type of parent. And I actually feel
- 29:08Speaker 3: like Israel does a very good job of keeping people safe.
- 29:11Speaker 3: But every now and then, as we saw the last
- 29:14Speaker 3: couple of months, now one of those missiles they do
- 29:17Speaker 3: hit and people do die. So they are bracing themselves,
- 29:21Speaker 3: I'm sure Israel for what could be an ugly round,
- 29:25Speaker 3: because that's who Iran goes after. They do hit other
- 29:29Speaker 3: Arab countries now, which makes no sense, and they're starting
- 29:32Speaker 3: to hit the Chinese. I mean, how crazy are these people?
- 29:36Speaker 3: President Trump is right, they've got one ally right now.
- 29:40Speaker 3: Despite what President Chi told President Trump in China a
- 29:44Speaker 3: couple of days ago, you realize that President Chi well
- 29:46Speaker 3: taught to Gordon Shang coming up this morning, he's playing
- 29:49Speaker 3: both sides. Come on, you gotta be smarter your boats.
- 29:53Speaker 3: He tells Trump what he wants to hear. But he's
- 29:55Speaker 3: still helping the Iranians, sending them weapons through the cast
- 29:58Speaker 3: ME and CEA and money. He is on the wrong
- 30:02Speaker 3: side of this war, and the Iranians are hitting Chinese ships.
- 30:06Speaker 3: These people are absolutely nuts. They've already ruled their relationship
- 30:10Speaker 3: with a bunch of Arab nations. You know that they
- 30:12Speaker 3: started bombing everybody after that first weekend, and now the Chinese.
- 30:18Speaker 3: What in God's name Gnam. Are the Iranians.
- 30:21Speaker 21: Thinking, well, they're dragging this thing out as long as
- 30:24Speaker 21: they can, and so far they've been rather successful of that.
- 30:28Speaker 3: They have been able to do that. Yes, what else
- 30:30Speaker 3: is going on?
- 30:31Speaker 21: It is a big day in the Luigi Mangioni trial. So,
- 30:36Speaker 21: of course he is the alleged murder of United Healthcare CEO.
- 30:39Speaker 21: Brian Thompson, the judge in his trial, set to rule
- 30:43Speaker 21: today on emotion from the defense team seeking to suppress
- 30:46Speaker 21: key evidence that was collected when he was arrested at
- 30:49Speaker 21: McDonald's in Pennsylvania. So this is big because at issue
- 30:52Speaker 21: are the items that were found in his backpack, which
- 30:55Speaker 21: included the a murder weapon and a journal that detailed
- 30:58Speaker 21: all of this. So Manngioni's def and says they were
- 31:00Speaker 21: unlawfully seized war right, that's fine, that may be true.
- 31:04Speaker 21: But if they throw this out, that's huge.
- 31:06Speaker 3: How's it huge? He's gonna spend the rest of his
- 31:08Speaker 3: life in jail. He's never getting out. So when you
- 31:10Speaker 3: say it's huge, and I've heard lawyers say that too,
- 31:13Speaker 3: and I always followup with them like I'm doing with you. Okay, alreadie, Okay, Joseph,
- 31:16Speaker 3: does that mean that he's not going to spend the
- 31:18Speaker 3: rest of his life in jail. No, no, no, there's no
- 31:20Speaker 3: chance of that. He's going to So how is it huge?
- 31:23Speaker 21: Well, the evidence, it makes it a little bit more difficult,
- 31:26Speaker 21: more difficult for prosecuting to prosecute your case.
- 31:29Speaker 10: Planning the whole was planning the whole thing.
- 31:32Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's saying that they couldn't. They don't have
- 31:35Speaker 3: the authority to take all that stuff. So and he's
- 31:37Speaker 3: probably going to be right. What I'm saying to you is,
- 31:40Speaker 3: even if he is right and he wins, he's round
- 31:42Speaker 3: of meetings or whatever you want to call it, which
- 31:44Speaker 3: he probably will, it doesn't matter. It sounds like he's
- 31:48Speaker 3: only going to do thirty years now instead of sixty.
- 31:51Speaker 3: He's never getting out.
- 31:52Speaker 9: We don't know that.
- 31:53Speaker 21: I mean, if you throw out all that evidence, that
- 31:54Speaker 21: makes it much more difficult for.
- 31:56Speaker 3: Well attorney on that, because every attorney I speak to
- 31:58Speaker 3: says it's not gonna matter. I mean, it's kind of
- 32:01Speaker 3: like a I don't know, a you know, when you
- 32:05Speaker 3: lose a basketball game, but you come close, so you
- 32:08Speaker 3: take solace in a loss. That's all. This is moral victory,
- 32:12Speaker 3: thank you. That's exactly, Thank you, Lewis. This is a
- 32:15Speaker 3: moral victory. It's not going to change his sentence thing.
- 32:17Speaker 3: He's not going to do less time in jail. That's
- 32:19Speaker 3: what the attorneys tell me. I could be wrong, but
- 32:22Speaker 3: we'll bring about five of them on this week to
- 32:24Speaker 3: find out, because it is a big story in New York.
- 32:28Speaker 3: I don't know why every time Luigi ends up in
- 32:30Speaker 3: court we go on and on about it. I don't
- 32:33Speaker 3: care whether we cover it or not. I don't care,
- 32:35Speaker 3: and I don't think he's ever getting out no matter
- 32:37Speaker 3: what happens this week. But at any rate, you're saying
- 32:39Speaker 3: that it's a big week.
- 32:41Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, well, this would be a big day anyway.
- 32:44Speaker 3: Okay, what else we got?
- 32:45Speaker 21: Well, you know, locally, of course, now the Knicks know
- 32:48Speaker 21: who they're playing. The Cavaliers beat the Pistons, blew them out.
- 32:51Speaker 3: What a crazy series. You know, Detroit won the first
- 32:54Speaker 3: two games, and you're going, okay, the Pistons had the
- 32:57Speaker 3: most wins in the Eastern Conference this year, number one seed.
- 33:01Speaker 3: All right, they're up to nothing. It makes sense. Cleveland
- 33:04Speaker 3: goes home. They win the next two. Okay, now you're
- 33:07Speaker 3: reduced to a best of three. But the Pistons have
- 33:10Speaker 3: two of those games at home. Then you get to
- 33:12Speaker 3: a Game five in Detroit and Cleveland wins. Now Cleveland
- 33:18Speaker 3: is up three games to two, and Cleveland goes home
- 33:22Speaker 3: Game six with a chance to close out the Pistons,
- 33:25Speaker 3: and they lost by thirty. So now the Pistons go
- 33:28Speaker 3: home after clobbering the Cavaliers on the road with a
- 33:31Speaker 3: chance to move on to the Eastern Conference Finals where
- 33:34Speaker 3: the home win. And they were never even competitive last night.
- 33:37Speaker 3: They were down by sixteen and five minutes. What I've
- 33:40Speaker 3: never seen a series like this in my life where
- 33:43Speaker 3: the home teams win every game the first four and
- 33:47Speaker 3: then couldn't find a way to stay competitive at home
- 33:50Speaker 3: in the next three.
- 33:51Speaker 10: I just got killed in the or three of them games.
- 33:54Speaker 3: Yeah, it was wild.
- 33:55Speaker 10: Makes you think you can't figure either team.
- 33:57Speaker 3: Out, No, you can't. Look, the Cavaliers have two amazing players,
- 34:02Speaker 3: Tonovan Mitchell and I know he's a cancer. He can't win,
- 34:05Speaker 3: he's a playoff loser. James Harden he's a very dangerous player.
- 34:10Speaker 3: Very But if you're a nick fan, you're happy. Why
- 34:12Speaker 3: is that the Pistons from the number one seed? So
- 34:15Speaker 3: if Detroit would have won this series, the Knicks would
- 34:18Speaker 3: not have gotten home court advantage. But because Cleveland won
- 34:22Speaker 3: and the Knicks finished ahead of Cleveland during the regular season,
- 34:26Speaker 3: don't look now, but our Knicks have home court advantage
- 34:30Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference finals. How wild is that? Yeah?
- 34:33Speaker 21: Well, of course things that people worry about as a
- 34:36Speaker 21: fan is the Knicks have been at home resting, which
- 34:38Speaker 21: you would think would benefit them. Then people always freak
- 34:40Speaker 21: out that you know, they were lightning their white hot
- 34:43Speaker 21: playing exist. Doesn't they still play that? Yea'll be fine.
- 34:48Speaker 21: This is what sports talk radio. They'll get in. They
- 34:51Speaker 21: have nothing else to talk about. They'll be rusty for
- 34:53Speaker 21: about eight minutes. About eight minutes, that's about it.
- 34:56Speaker 3: It's second a football game too, even maybe for the
- 34:59Speaker 3: first quarter. Otherwise it'll be fine. I think it's much
- 35:02Speaker 3: better for the Knicks. You get og back they need
- 35:05Speaker 3: on Aobi. Obviously he didn't play the last couple of
- 35:08Speaker 3: games of last series, so he comes back healthy. They
- 35:10Speaker 3: will be rushed for what again, eight minutes. These guys
- 35:13Speaker 3: have now played ninety two basketball games this year. You
- 35:16Speaker 3: guys realize that ninety two eighty two regular season games,
- 35:20Speaker 3: ten or eleven postseason games a couple of days. They're
- 35:24Speaker 3: not gonna lose forget how to play basketball. So they
- 35:27Speaker 3: may come out slow in that first quarter, no question
- 35:29Speaker 3: about it. That goes away very very quickly. They're not
- 35:32Speaker 3: going to lose the series of the game because they're rusty.
- 35:35Speaker 3: So let's see what the Knicks can do. They're the
- 35:37Speaker 3: better team. I think the Knicks are the better team.
- 35:39Speaker 3: They're deeper, they're better, had a better regular season. They've
- 35:43Speaker 3: been dominant the Knickerbockers and the playoffs, winning seven straight
- 35:46Speaker 3: games at the falling behind two games to one to
- 35:48Speaker 3: Atlanta and again Cleveland, no joke. Very good team. Donovan Mitchell,
- 35:52Speaker 3: James Horden, the big guy Allen, He's a good basketball player.
- 35:56Speaker 3: Mobley is a terrific player. They're not going to be
- 35:58Speaker 3: easy to beat. But the Knicks should win the series,
- 36:00Speaker 3: and if they do, They're want to the NBA Finals,
- 36:03Speaker 3: whe they'll take on the winner of Oklahoma City San Antonio.
- 36:07Speaker 3: That is going to be a great series in my opinion.
- 36:10Speaker 3: Those are the best two teams in the NBA. Webin
- 36:13Speaker 3: Yama and the Spurs and the reigning champs, who are
- 36:16Speaker 3: yet to lose a playoff game this year. The Oklahoma
- 36:18Speaker 3: City thunder that starts tonight, and the Knicks. Of course,
- 36:22Speaker 3: I'm not being in the NBA finals or for how
- 36:25Speaker 3: long now?
- 36:25Speaker 28: Know?
- 36:26Speaker 3: Wow? I guess ninety nine the wing team that lost
- 36:30Speaker 3: to San Antonio. That's the last time they made the finals.
- 36:33Speaker 3: And ninety four the uing team that lost to the
- 36:35Speaker 3: Houston Rockets. So they've got a golden opportunity right now,
- 36:39Speaker 3: the Nickobokers to do something good for New York. I mean,
- 36:42Speaker 3: New York is such a mess. It really is. It's
- 36:45Speaker 3: such a shame. It was a beautiful weekend. We're on
- 36:48Speaker 3: the beach for two days, Dan Yell and I gorgeous,
- 36:51Speaker 3: nice breeze and sunny skies and families out little kids.
- 36:56Speaker 3: Was just beautiful, you know. And you have the Mets
- 36:58Speaker 3: and Yankees. I was there on Friday night. Amazing job
- 37:02Speaker 3: by the Mets, especially yesterday that home run by Taylor
- 37:06Speaker 3: to tie the game, and the Mets get the win,
- 37:07Speaker 3: they take the series, they take two out of three
- 37:09Speaker 3: from the Yankees. There's a lot of great stuff here
- 37:13Speaker 3: in New York, but it's just overshadowed by this despicable,
- 37:16Speaker 3: anti semit, disgusting mayor who's a lowlife and this wretched,
- 37:22Speaker 3: wicked witch governor who right now has a whole bunch
- 37:24Speaker 3: of people on Long Island freaking out trying to figure
- 37:28Speaker 3: out a way to get to work this morning. The
- 37:30Speaker 3: politicians in our city and our state are destroying what
- 37:34Speaker 3: should be a beautiful place and it still is. Trust me,
- 37:38Speaker 3: I loved being in New York this weekend. I loved it,
- 37:41Speaker 3: had a great time. But they are really doing their
- 37:44Speaker 3: very best, Mamdani Hokal, senators, assembly people, legislators, to try
- 37:51Speaker 3: to make us as miserable as possible. No other way
- 37:54Speaker 3: to put it home.
- 37:54Speaker 9: That's it, well, and especially when it comes to this
- 37:56Speaker 9: l double r strike.
- 37:57Speaker 21: I mean they've known it's coming for months, more than months,
- 38:00Speaker 21: and how they couldn't figure it out between the two
- 38:02Speaker 21: sides and they make all the riders miser role is
- 38:05Speaker 21: beyond me.
- 38:05Speaker 3: I think five and a half months. Oh, now that
- 38:07Speaker 3: you went there, this is a perfect time to break.
- 38:10Speaker 3: We'll do that, Lewis, And when we come back, we're
- 38:12Speaker 3: going to talk to the current Nassau County Executive, his
- 38:15Speaker 3: constituents in Nassau County as well as ed Romains in
- 38:18Speaker 3: Suffer County. They're the ones suffering this morning. But of
- 38:21Speaker 3: course he's running against Kathy Hogo for governor. As I
- 38:24Speaker 3: mentioned earlier, I saw him yesterday at the Jerusalem Tel
- 38:27Speaker 3: Aviv hockey game at the UBS Arena, him and Mazzi Pillop.
- 38:30Speaker 3: He is my overwhelming enthusiastic choice to be the next governor.
- 38:35Speaker 3: We will talk railroad strike with the great Bruce Blakeman,
- 38:39Speaker 3: an exclusive interview which I did first early this morning.
- 38:42Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman on the strike.
- 38:44Speaker 29: He's next SID and Friends in the Morning on the
- 38:49Speaker 29: Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Sid and Friends.
- 38:54Speaker 29: In the Morning Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple
- 38:58Speaker 29: Podcast Network.
- 39:01Speaker 3: Bruce, as I said, I saw him again yesterday, him
- 39:04Speaker 3: and Mazi Pillip Long Island well we represented out there
- 39:08Speaker 3: at the UBS Arena. Bruce looked great, but of course
- 39:12Speaker 3: not a great day for a love Long Island ers yesterday.
- 39:14Speaker 3: If you look at the stands yesterday, they were about
- 39:18Speaker 3: hand bull of thousands of people that expected to come
- 39:21Speaker 3: to UBS on Sunday to go to the game couldn't
- 39:24Speaker 3: make it in because of the Long Island railroad strike.
- 39:27Speaker 3: Now it's a Monday morning even worse, three hundred thousand
- 39:31Speaker 3: people trying to get to work in New York City.
- 39:33Speaker 3: They got no way in. So there was Bruce talking
- 39:37Speaker 3: over the weekend, of course, running for governor against the wretched,
- 39:39Speaker 3: evil witch that is Kathy Hokel, talking about what a
- 39:43Speaker 3: terrible job she's done. He's exactly right, and we are
- 39:46Speaker 3: honored this morning to have him on the biggest story
- 39:49Speaker 3: in the city today. The Long Island Railroad is on strike.
- 39:52Speaker 3: I don't know why. And here's my friend, Bruce Blakeman. Bruce,
- 39:55Speaker 3: good Monday morning.
- 39:56Speaker 28: Buddy, how are you good morning, said, doing well? Thank you.
- 39:58Speaker 3: I'm glad you are a you. We talked about it
- 40:01Speaker 3: over the weekend, This strike that Kathy Hockel has allowed
- 40:05Speaker 3: to happen. She's blaming you, She's blaming President in Trump.
- 40:08Speaker 3: She'll probably blame me. Any Republicans gets blamed for this mess.
- 40:13Speaker 3: Why is Long Island Railroad even on strike?
- 40:16Speaker 28: Well, first of all, the MTA is part of state government,
- 40:20Speaker 28: not county government, so Kathy Hockel is in control of
- 40:24Speaker 28: the MTA. This is a failure of leadership by Kathy Hockel.
- 40:29Speaker 28: These negotiations have been going on for months and I'm
- 40:33Speaker 28: told she hasn't taken part in any of the negotiations.
- 40:37Speaker 28: Union leaders have told me that she's been distant, that
- 40:39Speaker 28: she's been aloof that she hasn't paid attention to it.
- 40:43Speaker 28: And you know, I don't blame the union leaders when
- 40:46Speaker 28: they say to me, look, she's saying she doesn't have
- 40:49Speaker 28: the money for our workers, but she gave out eight
- 40:52Speaker 28: billion dollars over the last three years to illegal migrants
- 40:57Speaker 28: who aren't New Yorkers. They're not even Americans. They've been
- 41:00Speaker 28: here for fifteen minutes, and they get all the money
- 41:03Speaker 28: and she's not giving it to New Yorkers. So that's
- 41:06Speaker 28: why they're on strikers because they're saying, hey, look, if
- 41:10Speaker 28: you can't pay us a little more, why are you
- 41:12Speaker 28: paying all the money to people who aren't New Yorkers.
- 41:15Speaker 28: It's not right and they have a good argument there.
- 41:18Speaker 28: I feel that, you know, the workers, they want to
- 41:21Speaker 28: go back to work. But again, Kathy Hope has been aol.
- 41:25Speaker 3: Can you explain to me again, this is a Nasol
- 41:27Speaker 3: County executive. He'll be our next govenor here, Bruce Blakeman,
- 41:31Speaker 3: she's blaming Trump. I'm trying to figure out, I guess,
- 41:34Speaker 3: in terms of the mediation process, how does President Trump
- 41:38Speaker 3: get blamed for this obvious copy hocal New York plunder.
- 41:43Speaker 28: Well, I don't know how she can do it. I
- 41:45Speaker 28: think she probably would blame him for the bubonic plague
- 41:48Speaker 28: if she thought she could get away with it. But
- 41:51Speaker 28: he has nothing to do with the negotiations with the union.
- 41:54Speaker 28: There are federal panels that make recommendations. They made recommendations
- 41:59Speaker 28: to catch at Hokeel and she didn't follow those recommendations.
- 42:03Speaker 28: So if anything, she's the one that's not following the
- 42:05Speaker 28: recommendations of a federal railroad panel. She is somebody who
- 42:10Speaker 28: is completely out of touch. And that's why we're at
- 42:14Speaker 28: this point right now. I really feel bad for the commuters.
- 42:17Speaker 28: I feel bad for the small business people who are
- 42:19Speaker 28: going to lose business today. I've already heard some people
- 42:22Speaker 28: over the weekend that have been stuck at the airport
- 42:25Speaker 28: couldn't get a railroad ride home. This is going to
- 42:28Speaker 28: be tough, and it's all because of Conti Hockel.
- 42:31Speaker 3: It really is. And as far as I know, Bruce,
- 42:33Speaker 3: you know better than me. I've been told that they're
- 42:36Speaker 3: not miles apart. I mean, it's not like there's no
- 42:40Speaker 3: way they can do this. I've been told that it's
- 42:42Speaker 3: actually very close what the two sides want. So why
- 42:45Speaker 3: would you put New Yorkers through this pain if it
- 42:48Speaker 3: really is that close?
- 42:49Speaker 28: Well, again, she had five and a half billion dollars
- 42:52Speaker 28: for zorn Mondamie to close his budget gap without any controls,
- 42:57Speaker 28: with any strings attached to it. New York City they
- 43:01Speaker 28: don't have a revenue problem. They have a spending problem.
- 43:04Speaker 28: So does New York State. And again, when you give
- 43:08Speaker 28: eight billion dollars away to legal migrants, it's hard for
- 43:12Speaker 28: union the leaders to go back to their members and say, well,
- 43:14Speaker 28: the state doesn't have the money. The members say, hey,
- 43:18Speaker 28: if they don't have the money, it's because they gave
- 43:20Speaker 28: it away to legal migrants. That's not right. And they've
- 43:24Speaker 28: got a good argument there.
- 43:25Speaker 3: Yeah, legal migrants, like you said, And yeah, eight billion
- 43:28Speaker 3: dollars she found for his oor on Mom Donnie last week,
- 43:30Speaker 3: four billion a year for the next two years. I
- 43:34Speaker 3: was talking to Brian kill me to I'm a mutual
- 43:36Speaker 3: friend over at Fox News. He's on my show every
- 43:38Speaker 3: day here as you know, Bruce, and he said, this
- 43:41Speaker 3: may be a great opportunity for Bruce Blakeman. He also
- 43:44Speaker 3: loves you. He lives in Nashaull County, he said, sid
- 43:46Speaker 3: first time in thirty years, I'm not going able to
- 43:49Speaker 3: get home. Later this afternoon, he said, maybe this is
- 43:52Speaker 3: a good opportunity for Bruce Blakeman to actually mediate this.
- 43:55Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on that?
- 43:58Speaker 28: Well, if I were governor, there would be no strike
- 44:00Speaker 28: because I would have been negotiating all along. I would
- 44:04Speaker 28: I would have gotten actively involved, and they wouldn't be
- 44:07Speaker 28: able to make the argument about me about the illegal
- 44:09Speaker 28: migrants because I would never make this a sanctuary state.
- 44:13Speaker 28: I would never elect I would never allow billions of
- 44:17Speaker 28: dollars to be spent on people that weren't New Yorkers.
- 44:19Speaker 28: That's our taxpayer dollars. There'd being spent on people. All
- 44:23Speaker 28: they have to do is arrive. They get free housing,
- 44:25Speaker 28: free food, free transportations, a free cell phone. That wouldn't
- 44:30Speaker 28: happen with Bruce Blakeman as governor. I would spend the
- 44:32Speaker 28: money on the people. I would cut taxes, cut your
- 44:35Speaker 28: utility costs in half, and create jobs in economic development,
- 44:39Speaker 28: better jobs for people with higher wates and better benefits.
- 44:42Speaker 3: I mean, you look at the last couple of weeks, Bruce,
- 44:44Speaker 3: and you've been gaining on hard quite a bit. The
- 44:47Speaker 3: last couple of months. You know, you started out and
- 44:49Speaker 3: nearly thirty points behind. Now a lot of the polls
- 44:51Speaker 3: that actually count, right, not these bull crop liberal polls
- 44:55Speaker 3: have you single digits back. And you look at again
- 44:57Speaker 3: a couple of days ago. We're giving all that money
- 44:59Speaker 3: to mom Donnie. New Yorkers don't like that, the Long
- 45:02Speaker 3: Island Railroad on strike. New Yorkers don't like that her
- 45:05Speaker 3: constant bitching about pleasudent Trump has nothing to do. I mean,
- 45:09Speaker 3: you got to think that the last couple of weeks
- 45:12Speaker 3: have been great weeks for you.
- 45:13Speaker 28: Yes, well, we have a lot of momentum. Said, with
- 45:16Speaker 28: the utility costs seventy percent higher than the national average,
- 45:20Speaker 28: and she's directly responsible for that, with economic development number
- 45:24Speaker 28: forty one out of fifty states, which is a national
- 45:28Speaker 28: embarrassment for the former Great Empire state with the highest
- 45:32Speaker 28: tax state in the United States. People are miserable, and
- 45:36Speaker 28: now they're miserable about the safety and security. Throw on
- 45:40Speaker 28: top of that the strike, Throw on top of that,
- 45:42Speaker 28: the corrections officers strike, Throw on top of that the
- 45:45Speaker 28: nurses strike. She's not in control of government, and government
- 45:50Speaker 28: is now out of control. They're spending money at crazy levels.
- 45:55Speaker 28: People have had enough.
- 45:57Speaker 3: Bruce. I thought you said a really smart thing over
- 45:59Speaker 3: the weekend too. I mean another thing that she did
- 46:01Speaker 3: to this city, which she boasted about for a while,
- 46:04Speaker 3: but now everyone knows it's not working everyone. That's congestion pricing.
- 46:09Speaker 3: You said, hey, Kathy, sweetheart, if you're already screwing New
- 46:12Speaker 3: Yorkers that can't get to work if they have to
- 46:14Speaker 3: drive in, now they have to drive in, you would
- 46:17Speaker 3: have a lot of balls to charge them nine plus
- 46:19Speaker 3: dollars for congestion pricing. The least you can do is
- 46:23Speaker 3: suspend that tax, that punitive charge until you fix the strike.
- 46:27Speaker 3: I thought that was brilliant. I don't think she'll do it,
- 46:30Speaker 3: but I thought that was a great idea. Bruce.
- 46:32Speaker 28: Well, you know, that's the least she could do, because
- 46:34Speaker 28: now you know, not only do people have to get
- 46:37Speaker 28: up two hours earlier to drive into the city, but
- 46:40Speaker 28: they have to pay that nine dollars to drive downtown.
- 46:44Speaker 28: And she has the ability to waive that, and she
- 46:47Speaker 28: should because it's you know, you talk about this state
- 46:50Speaker 28: being affordable. This is the most unaffordable state in the
- 46:53Speaker 28: United States, and Kathy Hoak has made it that way
- 46:56Speaker 28: with taxes, congestion pricing, all these add on seas, the
- 47:00Speaker 28: green energy scam. So the least she could do is
- 47:04Speaker 28: waive it during the strike. But she won't do that,
- 47:07Speaker 28: and she won't do it because she doesn't want to
- 47:10Speaker 28: do it. She doesn't want to help out common middle
- 47:13Speaker 28: class New Yorkers who have to get to work.
- 47:15Speaker 3: So is there going to be a meeting today, Bruce
- 47:17Speaker 3: with maybe you and edwro Maine out of Selfon County,
- 47:19Speaker 3: somebody to figure out some contingency plans to try to
- 47:23Speaker 3: help your constituents trying to get to work in New
- 47:25Speaker 3: York City today.
- 47:27Speaker 28: Well, we're doing the best we can. So we're adding
- 47:30Speaker 28: on additional buses for our roots. We're opening up our
- 47:34Speaker 28: parking lots at all of our parks for car puoling.
- 47:37Speaker 28: But there's not much we can do because again, the
- 47:41Speaker 28: railroad is something that over three hundred thousand commuters depend
- 47:44Speaker 28: on daily and we need that railroad open. Kathy Hochele
- 47:48Speaker 28: should have been bargaining all weekend. I don't know what
- 47:51Speaker 28: she was doing all weekend, but she should have been
- 47:53Speaker 28: at the bargaining table negotiating with the union, and she
- 47:57Speaker 28: should have tried to strike a deal last one.
- 48:00Speaker 3: Bruce, again, I mentioned at the top of this conversation,
- 48:02Speaker 3: I saw you yesterday at the UBS arena, you and
- 48:05Speaker 3: Mazzi Pillop and there's always your gracious and beautiful and
- 48:08Speaker 3: people love you. They're going nuts in the arena, and
- 48:10Speaker 3: you did a nice press conference and you in shigning autographs.
- 48:14Speaker 3: Really is a great event. I didn't go last year.
- 48:17Speaker 3: Yesterday it was the first time I've been to this
- 48:19Speaker 3: second annual Tel Aviv Jerusalem game, and it was right
- 48:22Speaker 3: there in your County Ubs arena. That was a good
- 48:25Speaker 3: time yesterday.
- 48:25Speaker 28: Yes, it was a great time. People were having a
- 48:29Speaker 28: lot of fun. It was a good athletic competition, and
- 48:33Speaker 28: there was a spirit of good feelings towards the state
- 48:36Speaker 28: of Israel, America's number one ally now. So yeah, it
- 48:40Speaker 28: was a great ceiling for everybody. It was a good
- 48:44Speaker 28: athletic competition too.
- 48:45Speaker 3: Really was. It was a pretty good game. One more
- 48:47Speaker 3: on Israel. So in all likelihood IM a mutual friend
- 48:51Speaker 3: who you were with for like ninety minutes less than
- 48:53Speaker 3: two weeks ago in the Oval Office, the Great President
- 48:57Speaker 3: Donald J. Trump. It looks like we're getting ready to
- 49:00Speaker 3: we start this thing. Iran is not responding, I know
- 49:03Speaker 3: you're not surprised either, am either as Trump. So most
- 49:06Speaker 3: people predict Wednesday or Thursday. Well, going back in, and
- 49:11Speaker 3: what that means is it could be a long couple
- 49:13Speaker 3: of weeks again for the people in Israel. Any thoughts on.
- 49:16Speaker 28: That, Well, yeah, you know, the president he doesn't want
- 49:20Speaker 28: to put our soldiers in harm's way. He wants to
- 49:24Speaker 28: do everything possible to try and not have the soldiers
- 49:28Speaker 28: go in and fight again. But he's left with no choice.
- 49:33Speaker 28: We can't let Iran get a nuclear weapon. That would
- 49:37Speaker 28: be a danger to everybody in the world, but especially
- 49:40Speaker 28: here in New York. We saw what they did on
- 49:43Speaker 28: nine to eleven. They're perfectly willing to sacrifice their own
- 49:47Speaker 28: lives to kill three thousand New Yorkers. They would do
- 49:50Speaker 28: it for three million New Yorkers and think nothing about it.
- 49:54Speaker 28: The leaders iv Rad could kill three million Americans and
- 49:59Speaker 28: go to bed and not this a wink of sleep.
- 50:03Speaker 28: They have no conscience. They're evil and they would do that,
- 50:06Speaker 28: and they cannot have a nuclear weapon. So I support
- 50:09Speaker 28: President Trump.
- 50:10Speaker 3: And if you kill Kathy, me too. And when you
- 50:12Speaker 3: kill Kathy Hukel, you've done a great job with this too. Bruce.
- 50:15Speaker 3: You know you do what I do. You've got to
- 50:17Speaker 3: hkee and Mam Donnie. I think Mam Donni needs a
- 50:19Speaker 3: little bit of a history lesson. He he's really a
- 50:22Speaker 3: coward and a creep. He perfectly he purposely put out
- 50:25Speaker 3: a video this weekend about Knock Bad Day, which nobody
- 50:28Speaker 3: in New York knows what the hell this guy's talking about.
- 50:30Speaker 3: But he purposely did it on Shabbat, on the Sabbath
- 50:33Speaker 3: to really stick it to the Jews. And clearly Mamdani
- 50:37Speaker 3: needs a history lesson as to what really happened in
- 50:39Speaker 3: nineteen forty eight when five Arab nations, five of them
- 50:43Speaker 3: attacked Israel, and Israel defended themselves and do what they
- 50:46Speaker 3: always do, they kicked their asses. That's what happened in
- 50:50Speaker 3: nineteen forty eight. So I'm not sure what Knock Bad
- 50:52Speaker 3: Day is, but I thought it was pretty grotesque of
- 50:55Speaker 3: this mayor to come out looking for Palestinian sympathy and
- 50:59Speaker 3: really write history and do it on Shabbat this weekend.
- 51:03Speaker 3: Your thoughts on Mamdani.
- 51:05Speaker 28: Well, he's disgraceful. He's an anti Semite. And I got
- 51:08Speaker 28: to tell you whether you're Jewish, whether you're Christian. It
- 51:11Speaker 28: doesn't matter. When I travel around New York City, there's
- 51:14Speaker 28: buyer's remorse. People are young. People are coming up to
- 51:17Speaker 28: me and telling me this guy hasn't done a thing
- 51:20Speaker 28: that he said he would do. It's more affordable now
- 51:23Speaker 28: to live in New York. He offered free bus rides.
- 51:26Speaker 28: He increased the fare the day after the election. So
- 51:29Speaker 28: this guy is not the real deal. He's a bad guy.
- 51:34Speaker 28: He's inexperienced, and he's an anti Semite, and he's got
- 51:37Speaker 28: un American values.
- 51:39Speaker 3: Let's wrap this up when we started this. This is
- 51:41Speaker 3: a Nassau County executive. He will be folks, there's no
- 51:43Speaker 3: question he will be the next governor of New York. Why.
- 51:46Speaker 3: He's a much better person. He's a much better candidate.
- 51:50Speaker 3: He actually loves his city in the state, unlike again
- 51:53Speaker 3: the wicked witch Kathy hulkl Bruce. Give it to me, baby,
- 51:57Speaker 3: Give me your message. Hochel's listening, trust me. Give me
- 52:00Speaker 3: your message to the governor on this strike right now.
- 52:05Speaker 28: Sit down, first thing this morning, make a deal. You've
- 52:09Speaker 28: been giving money to illegal migrants. You can't make the
- 52:13Speaker 28: argument to union leaders that you don't have the money
- 52:15Speaker 28: after you did that spend the money on New Yorkers
- 52:18Speaker 28: and this strike.
- 52:20Speaker 3: Bruce. You're beautiful. I love you. It's great seeing you yesterday.
- 52:23Speaker 3: You sound great this morning, and you're a savior. Are
- 52:26Speaker 3: you going to ride in like your beautiful white hair
- 52:28Speaker 3: on that beautiful white horse and save our state here
- 52:31Speaker 3: in New York? Bruce Blakeman, thank you so much.

- 52:47Speaker 29: Podcast Network.
- 52:50Speaker 3: Here's a tweet that I saw this weekend from Nicole Parker.
- 52:54Speaker 3: Laura FBI special Agent Schwarzenberger paid the ultimate sacrifice executing
- 53:01Speaker 3: a search warrant in Sunrise, Florida, the morning of February
- 53:05Speaker 3: twenty second, I should say twenty twenty one. She left
- 53:10Speaker 3: behind her husband and two young sons, and Nicole devoted
- 53:14Speaker 3: an entire chapter in her great book, The Two Fbis.
- 53:17Speaker 3: She's been on this show talking about that book quite
- 53:19Speaker 3: a bit. It's great. Laura was a woman of faith
- 53:23Speaker 3: with God at the focal point of her life. Her
- 53:26Speaker 3: integrity was unmatched. She is the epitome of FBI. You
- 53:31Speaker 3: will never be forgotten. I miss your lots I'll see
- 53:34Speaker 3: you on the other side. Nicole Parker. So here she
- 53:37Speaker 3: is the author of that great book, The Two Fbis
- 53:40Speaker 3: and former special Agents out of Miami, now a superstar
- 53:43Speaker 3: on Fox News, Nicole Parker. Nicole, I'm just curious for
- 53:46Speaker 3: folks that don't know, because that was twenty twenty one
- 53:50Speaker 3: and it occurred in February. So what motivated you to
- 53:54Speaker 3: tweet that out on a May date in twenty twenty six?
- 53:58Speaker 30: This weekend, because last week was Police Week, and that's
- 54:03Speaker 30: when we honor our fallen heroes in law enforcement. And
- 54:06Speaker 30: so last week is a special week that's designated for
- 54:10Speaker 30: heroes like Laura and others that paid ultimate sacrifice in
- 54:14Speaker 30: the line of duty as law enforcement officers.
- 54:17Speaker 11: And so.
- 54:19Speaker 30: You know, every week people come together in Washington, d C.
- 54:22Speaker 30: I had the honor and privilege of going a couple
- 54:24Speaker 30: of years ago and seeing Laura's name on the memorial
- 54:27Speaker 30: the memorial wall, and you know, it's a very it's
- 54:31Speaker 30: a sacred wall. It's something that I honor and respect
- 54:35Speaker 30: very deeply. I'm so grateful, said, I know that you
- 54:39Speaker 30: and I feel the same that we now have a
- 54:42Speaker 30: president once again who honors and respects our law enforcement.
- 54:45Speaker 30: He backs the blue and I would like to personally
- 54:49Speaker 30: tell you that President Trump was not in office when
- 54:53Speaker 30: Laura was killed. That was under the Biden administration. And
- 54:56Speaker 30: I think it's important to note that the type of
- 54:59Speaker 30: warrant that she was ex cocuting was what we call
- 55:01Speaker 30: a VCAC violent crimes against Children. It was a child
- 55:04Speaker 30: predator who was doing child pornography, a very dangerous individual,
- 55:09Speaker 30: and those of us in law enforcement understand that those
- 55:11Speaker 30: types of individuals probably have the highest propensity to violence
- 55:15Speaker 30: because when these child predators get caught, they know they're
- 55:17Speaker 30: going away for a very long time. At least under
- 55:20Speaker 30: jurisdictions like the Southern District of Florida. In California, they
- 55:23Speaker 30: tend to not care about child predators, but in Florida
- 55:26Speaker 30: it's taken very seriously. And under the Biden administration, Laura
- 55:32Speaker 30: and the operation that morning was provided no SWAT support.
- 55:36Speaker 28: Zero.
- 55:38Speaker 30: Laura herself was a former SWAT operator, so she was
- 55:41Speaker 30: a very highly tactical agent. She could hold her own,
- 55:43Speaker 30: but that morning, there were no SWAT resources, no protective equipment,
- 55:47Speaker 30: nothing that was necessary in order to protect their lives.
- 55:51Speaker 30: But SID during the same timeframe, under the Biden administration.
- 55:54Speaker 30: This is when they were going full throttle against Trump
- 55:57Speaker 30: supporters for January sixth, non via misdemeanors. And so the
- 56:01Speaker 30: FBI was liberally sending SWAT resources across the country to go,
- 56:06Speaker 30: you know, bang down people's doors who had walked into
- 56:09Speaker 30: the Capitol and taken a picture. That is an incorrect
- 56:13Speaker 30: use of a type of resource. But at this but
- 56:17Speaker 30: for Laura's operation. Laura's operation going after the most dangerous
- 56:20Speaker 30: and violent no SWAT support. And so I never understood that,
- 56:25Speaker 30: and I was not okay with that, and I believe
- 56:27Speaker 30: it was truly political. They were using SWAT sources to
- 56:31Speaker 30: intimidate individuals, to intimidate Trump' supporters to go after January
- 56:35Speaker 30: sixth misdemeanors. But when it came time to really protect
- 56:38Speaker 30: our agents, no SWAT, nothing to no protection at all.
- 56:42Speaker 30: And I believe that her life would have been saved
- 56:44Speaker 30: if they'd been given proper protection that morning. And so
- 56:47Speaker 30: it's not just that she paid the ultimate sacrifice, because
- 56:50Speaker 30: we all know when you sign up to the in
- 56:52Speaker 30: law enforcement, you take the oath, you have the gun
- 56:54Speaker 30: and the badge, and you know that your life could
- 56:55Speaker 30: be taken at any moment. That's the risk, but there's
- 56:58Speaker 30: also an expectation that the bureau that you're working for
- 57:01Speaker 30: is going to do everything that they can to give
- 57:03Speaker 30: you the proper amount of protection to protect your life.
- 57:06Speaker 30: And they did not do that that morning for Laura.
- 57:09Speaker 30: So I believe that this is entirely preventable. It did
- 57:13Speaker 30: not happen under Trump's watch. But President Trump this year,
- 57:17Speaker 30: on the five year anniversary of her being murdered in
- 57:20Speaker 30: the line of duty, took the time out of his
- 57:23Speaker 30: busy day. And it was on a Sunday afternoon. It
- 57:26Speaker 30: was when a man had come to mar A Lago
- 57:28Speaker 30: with a gun. It was when Mexico was on fire
- 57:31Speaker 30: with all the cartels. It was also the day that
- 57:33Speaker 30: the men's hockey team won the gold medal in the Olympics,
- 57:37Speaker 30: So there was a lot going on on the day
- 57:39Speaker 30: that he took time out of his busy schedule, and
- 57:42Speaker 30: he personally called Laura's husband and said that he appreciated
- 57:47Speaker 30: Laura's ultimate sacrifice and that she would never be forgotten.
- 57:50Speaker 30: And her two young sons that they left behind. He
- 57:53Speaker 30: also left a special message for them as well. And
- 57:55Speaker 30: that is who President Trump is, and that is why
- 58:00Speaker 30: I am so grateful that he is here because he
- 58:02Speaker 30: backs the blue He backs the solid men and women
- 58:05Speaker 30: of the FBI doing the heavy lifting, and he genuinely
- 58:08Speaker 30: cares about the one and no one ever talks about this.
- 58:12Speaker 30: He does it quietly behind the scenes. I just know
- 58:15Speaker 30: because Laura's has been personally told me. He said, Nicole,
- 58:18Speaker 30: you're not going to believe this. I just got a
- 58:20Speaker 30: phone call from President Trump thanking me for Laura's ultimate sacrifice.
- 58:25Speaker 30: And that goes a long way.
- 58:26Speaker 3: Oh my god. Absolutely. My buddy Tom kinnip checks in,
- 58:29Speaker 3: the brilliant attorney. He of course represented the Daniel Penny,
- 58:32Speaker 3: many many clients, but Daniel Penny's the most famous. He says,
- 58:35Speaker 3: I've got January six clients who had flash bang grenades
- 58:38Speaker 3: thrown into their children's bedrooms during those FBI raids. But
- 58:43Speaker 3: you heard Trump there with me last week, and so
- 58:45Speaker 3: many people, people that I really love and respect. Greg Wan,
- 58:48Speaker 3: I'm Kelly here so critical of the Secret Service. The
- 58:52Speaker 3: last time this guy tried it was a ridiculous plan.
- 58:55Speaker 3: It was actually stupid for a guy that everybody describes
- 58:58Speaker 3: us so small, It was a stupid plan. Were going
- 59:00Speaker 3: to work. But nevertheless, he gave it a shot at
- 59:02Speaker 3: the hotel in DC a couple of weeks ago. And
- 59:06Speaker 3: that's a true story too. The next morning, I spoke
- 59:08Speaker 3: to President Trump be a text about seven thirty am.
- 59:11Speaker 3: He got back to me in two minutes, and he
- 59:12Speaker 3: thanked the Secret Service. Other people say, wow, that's just Trump.
- 59:16Speaker 3: Like you just said, Nicole, he loves to back the blue.
- 59:19Speaker 3: He loves the people that protect him. But the truth
- 59:22Speaker 3: is they're not doing a great job. What are your
- 59:25Speaker 3: thoughts about that?
- 59:28Speaker 30: You know, again, President Trump exercises I think an exorbitant
- 59:33Speaker 30: amount of grace. Because the way that he graciously thanked
- 59:37Speaker 30: the Secret Service for protecting his life that night of
- 59:39Speaker 30: the White House correspondence dinner, I think was quite incredible
- 59:43Speaker 30: because many of us who are very protective of the
- 59:47Speaker 30: President thought that, you know, the Secret Service needs to
- 59:49Speaker 30: step it up, that that shooter should have never even
- 59:52Speaker 30: been even that close to President Trump. But what after happened,
- 59:56Speaker 30: you know, after what happened on July thirteenth with Butler
- 59:58Speaker 30: Pennsylvania head, Trump miraculously was saved. I mean we know
- 1:00:03Speaker 30: that that was by the grace of God. I know
- 1:00:05Speaker 30: that for a fact. I think President Trump knows that
- 1:00:07Speaker 30: for a fact he could have been taken office or
- 1:00:09Speaker 30: it's just like Laura took one a fult rifle round
- 1:00:11Speaker 30: to the head and she was done. President Trump turning
- 1:00:14Speaker 30: his face saved his life. I believe that was divine intervention.
- 1:00:19Speaker 30: But I have to say that after that experience, the
- 1:00:23Speaker 30: fact that he never saw the shooter the night of
- 1:00:25Speaker 30: the White House courtsepond A Center, you know, he never
- 1:00:27Speaker 30: broke into the ballroom. I think that's Trump sees that
- 1:00:31Speaker 30: as a success. You know, obviously, after what he dealt
- 1:00:34Speaker 30: with having a bullet graze his face and his ear,
- 1:00:38Speaker 30: I think, I don't I don't want to say this negatively,
- 1:00:41Speaker 30: but it almost sets the bar kind of low that
- 1:00:43Speaker 30: that's what he's accustomed to. He's accustomed now to knowing
- 1:00:45Speaker 30: that his life could be taken at any moment. But
- 1:00:47Speaker 30: the thing about President Trump, he never backs down. He
- 1:00:51Speaker 30: has no fear. He wanted to get back on the
- 1:00:54Speaker 30: stage at that dinner, and the Secret Service and you know,
- 1:00:57Speaker 30: law enforcement were like, that's not a good idea.
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: Let's follow us.
- 1:00:59Speaker 30: The turity Protoce calls.
- 1:01:00Speaker 5: Let's not do that.
- 1:01:01Speaker 30: The guys relentless, just like downt Butler gets up, fight, fight, fight,
- 1:01:05Speaker 30: and he's a true inspiration to all of us. We're
- 1:01:07Speaker 30: not going to back down. We're not going to live
- 1:01:09Speaker 30: life in fear. But I also do think that the
- 1:01:12Speaker 30: Secret Service and those that were on the protection that night,
- 1:01:16Speaker 30: the fact that the magnetometer was coming down before the
- 1:01:19Speaker 30: event had even started, the fact that the dog had
- 1:01:22Speaker 30: gone near that stairwell near the door. You know, the
- 1:01:25Speaker 30: word is complacency, and I think that's what happened in
- 1:01:27Speaker 30: the morning that Laura was killed. I think there was complacency.
- 1:01:30Speaker 30: When you're a Secret Service agent, it is high pressure.
- 1:01:34Speaker 30: We know that they are working around the clock. It
- 1:01:37Speaker 30: is high burnout. They're expected to travel all around, they
- 1:01:41Speaker 30: are separated from their families, They're standing at posts for
- 1:01:43Speaker 30: twelve hours at a time. There is no room for
- 1:01:46Speaker 30: failure and so it needs to be taken very seriously.
- 1:01:49Speaker 30: They need to hire the best of the best. But
- 1:01:51Speaker 30: every time you're on duty, whether you're Secret Service, HSI, FBI, DEA,
- 1:01:56Speaker 30: especially Secret Service, you have to assume that while you're there,
- 1:02:01Speaker 30: there's someone attempting to assassinate President Trump at every single
- 1:02:04Speaker 30: moment of the night, day, whatever it might be. You
- 1:02:08Speaker 30: can never ever take your eye off the ball. You
- 1:02:10Speaker 30: cannot let your guard down, and you've got to be
- 1:02:12Speaker 30: ready to go. And we stay in law enforcement, you know,
- 1:02:16Speaker 30: we have to be good. The bad guys just have
- 1:02:18Speaker 30: to get lucky when you're firing a shot. You know
- 1:02:20Speaker 30: the fact that the shooter was never even shot when
- 1:02:23Speaker 30: the agents trying to shoot at him. And I get
- 1:02:27Speaker 30: that because it's high pressure. That's why the training is
- 1:02:29Speaker 30: so important. When it comes down to those high pressure situations,
- 1:02:32Speaker 30: it's muscle memory. And you know, like we say, for
- 1:02:36Speaker 30: the bad guy, they just have to get lucky. For us,
- 1:02:38Speaker 30: that has to be a precision. And so you know,
- 1:02:41Speaker 30: I do. I think that the Secret Service is taking
- 1:02:43Speaker 30: another look at this and saying, what can we do
- 1:02:45Speaker 30: to extend perimeters, What can we do to be more vigilant,
- 1:02:48Speaker 30: what can we do? They're always looking for improvements, and
- 1:02:52Speaker 30: that is the key SID. Anytime you have something like this,
- 1:02:54Speaker 30: there has to be an after action review. What went
- 1:02:57Speaker 30: wrong and how are we going to fix it? And
- 1:03:00Speaker 30: that's the other problem. I had a Laura situation under
- 1:03:03Speaker 30: Christopher Ray and the Biden FBI. There was no after
- 1:03:07Speaker 30: action review for two and a half years after that happened.
- 1:03:10Speaker 30: It was as if they just shoved it under the rug,
- 1:03:13Speaker 30: didn't want any accountability. No one even knew what happened,
- 1:03:16Speaker 30: And to this day her husband does not have a
- 1:03:18Speaker 30: clear understanding what happened to his wife that morning. And
- 1:03:20Speaker 30: again let's keep in mind two agents were killed, three
- 1:03:23Speaker 30: others were shot. That is unacceptable. If you're not learning
- 1:03:26Speaker 30: something from your failures, it's going to continue to happen
- 1:03:29Speaker 30: over and over and over, and if there's no accountability,
- 1:03:33Speaker 30: it will continue.
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: Great a couple more minutes, you know you're bringing up
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: the FBI. This is a Nicole Parker, former special FBI
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: agent down in Miami. He's got a great book out,
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: the two fbis. Go read it, trust me, it's great.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: Trump loves it. So to why she's on box news
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: all the time. I think I hear Dan Bongino a
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: couple of times already come out with quotes that I
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: think I read in your book. I'm just saying, then,
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: I think I read some of that stuff in on
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: Nicole's book. But I want you to be honest with me. Okay,
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: this FBI right now under wrote cash Battel. He comes
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: under a lot of fire, and he comes under buyer.
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: I will tell you from even Trump supporters. I got
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: guys in this building who work with the FBI that
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: you know, they kind of shoot their eyes up and
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: I ask about cash battel. So be honest here, Nicole,
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: how do you think the FBI is running now with
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: cash for the Trump administration?
- 1:04:24Speaker 30: Well, I think that after what we went through. It's
- 1:04:29Speaker 30: clearly detailed in my book. The FBI was in a
- 1:04:32Speaker 30: very very low place when I left under the Biden administration.
- 1:04:35Speaker 30: I literally walked away because I saw no chance of
- 1:04:37Speaker 30: it improving. I didn't know who's going to win the
- 1:04:40Speaker 30: election in twenty twenty four because I left in the
- 1:04:44Speaker 30: end of twenty twenty two. I think that what he
- 1:04:48Speaker 30: walked into is an absolute disaster zone. I think that
- 1:04:51Speaker 30: it's going to take a substantial amount of time to
- 1:04:53Speaker 30: fix it. But I do believe that the key is
- 1:04:56Speaker 30: to keep your eye on the ball and not be
- 1:04:59Speaker 30: distracted with the side shows and give no reason for
- 1:05:02Speaker 30: anyone to come after you and attack you. Keep your
- 1:05:04Speaker 30: eye on the mission, get the job done. There is
- 1:05:07Speaker 30: so much to be done over there. I think that
- 1:05:09Speaker 30: they have made some great moves and getting rid of
- 1:05:13Speaker 30: individuals that really should not have been there certain people
- 1:05:16Speaker 30: that have politically weaponized the FBI. I think they have
- 1:05:18Speaker 30: a long way to go, but I think what's most
- 1:05:20Speaker 30: important right now is that those inside the bureau have
- 1:05:24Speaker 30: to have trust and confidence in their director. And while
- 1:05:28Speaker 30: the director is what I call FBI one, the good
- 1:05:31Speaker 30: agents and staff, FBI two are the politically weaponized, not good.
- 1:05:35Speaker 30: They're the bad side of the FBI that does not
- 1:05:37Speaker 30: make us proud, whereas FBI one is Laura Schwarzenberger's of
- 1:05:40Speaker 30: the FBI, who are doing real solid work. There are
- 1:05:44Speaker 30: amazing people there. But basically the director has to have
- 1:05:47Speaker 30: the trust and confidence of FBI one and build up
- 1:05:50Speaker 30: that morale while simultaneously obliterating FBI two. And if you
- 1:05:55Speaker 30: don't have the support of the rank and file, frankly,
- 1:05:58Speaker 30: nothing else matters because they're the ones actually on the ground.
- 1:06:02Speaker 30: There are the boots on the round doing the work,
- 1:06:03Speaker 30: and they've got to have confidence in the director. And
- 1:06:06Speaker 30: I think the key is to keep your eye on
- 1:06:08Speaker 30: the ball and not get wrapped up in all of
- 1:06:10Speaker 30: these side shows that are you know, don't give it.
- 1:06:13Speaker 30: The left wing media, frankly, are just obliterating right now
- 1:06:17Speaker 30: and trying to go after the FBI and the director. Frankly,
- 1:06:21Speaker 30: it's not really the FBI, like they're actually going after
- 1:06:23Speaker 30: the director. Let's make that clear. In the past it
- 1:06:26Speaker 30: was the FBI. No, No, they have problems with what's happening.
- 1:06:30Speaker 30: But the key is to give them no wiggle room
- 1:06:33Speaker 30: to work with, give them nothing to even make stuff
- 1:06:36Speaker 30: up about, you know, like, just keep your eye on
- 1:06:38Speaker 30: the ball, keep focusing, stop the terrorist, stop the violent crimes,
- 1:06:41Speaker 30: stop the human trafficking, and don't feed anything that they're
- 1:06:45Speaker 30: saying if you know that it's not true. Just keep
- 1:06:47Speaker 30: plowing forward and keep your eye on the mission and
- 1:06:50Speaker 30: keep going. And so, you know, let's see what happens.
- 1:06:54Speaker 30: I know that it's a very daunting task. It's a
- 1:06:56Speaker 30: thankless job. But the key is to have you've got
- 1:06:58Speaker 30: to have the respect. You've got to have their respect
- 1:07:00Speaker 30: of the agents and frankly, the entire law enforcement community,
- 1:07:03Speaker 30: because people need to know the FBI is nothing without
- 1:07:06Speaker 30: the support of their local law enforcement. You know, sometimes
- 1:07:09Speaker 30: people think, oh, the FBI comes in and takes over
- 1:07:11Speaker 30: the case and whatever. I myself as a field agent
- 1:07:14Speaker 30: new without the support of those working shoulder to shoulder,
- 1:07:18Speaker 30: Like let's say, with Broward County Sheriff's office or Miami
- 1:07:20Speaker 30: Dade Police Department. Without them, we can't get our jobs done.
- 1:07:24Speaker 30: So not only do you have to have the support
- 1:07:26Speaker 30: of you know, the agents within the FBI, You've got
- 1:07:29Speaker 30: to have the support of all the other federal agencies,
- 1:07:32Speaker 30: you know, DEA, all all of them. And you've got
- 1:07:35Speaker 30: to have support of the local law enforcement. So it's
- 1:07:37Speaker 30: a it's a daunting task, but let's see what happens.
- 1:07:41Speaker 30: It can be done, and it can be done successfully.
- 1:07:43Speaker 30: And I think the key is that the FBI director
- 1:07:45Speaker 30: has to operate with the highest level of integrity.
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: That is a great and honest answer. Great and honest answer.
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: Katsumatidis is coming up next. I want to tell them
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: to well, get your book god signing done. I want
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: to get that big party going for you here in

- 1:09:39Speaker 29: informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: And what kind of world do you want? That's that's
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: the question. I want the type of world that Trump wants,
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: not the type of world that we've been living in
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: for the last eight of twelve years with people like
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: Obama and Biden running our country. John Katzon Matiti's does
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: an amazing job at this station and also hosts two
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: great shows five pm every weekday afternoon alongside Rida Cosby.
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: It's The Cats and Cosby Show, and of course this
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: masterpiece eight am every Sunday morning, The Cats Round Table. John,
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: I want to start here today. I had Trump on
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: last Tuesday, and thanks to you, you came to me
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: and said, ask him about this. So I did ask
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: him about AM radio, said Sid, you know, not on
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: my radar right now? But it's important. So seemingly President
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: Trump is going to fight for us. I know you
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: and Chad have done a lot of work trying to
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: save AM radio, and it came out a couple of
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: days ago inside Radio that WABC is the number one
- 1:10:44Speaker 3: AM station across the country. So congratulations, John.
- 1:10:49Speaker 11: Well, thanks, And what we want to do is, you
- 1:10:53Speaker 11: know that's not enough for me. We want to be
- 1:10:56Speaker 11: the number one station in the world, and we are
- 1:11:01Speaker 11: going to challenge the BBC. We're going to challenge even
- 1:11:05Speaker 11: Voice of America with President Trump's approval, and we want
- 1:11:11Speaker 11: the truth to get out. We don't want you know,
- 1:11:15Speaker 11: anybody that's a Republican is welcome to come on w ABC.
- 1:11:18Speaker 11: Anybody that's a Democrat is welcome to come on a
- 1:11:21Speaker 11: w ABC, and anybody that's an independent is welcome to
- 1:11:25Speaker 11: come on w ABC. We want all the voices and
- 1:11:29Speaker 11: we want the people, the European people, the American people,
- 1:11:34Speaker 11: everybody to decide the truth. And the truth is like
- 1:11:39Speaker 11: in Iran, you can't trust the current Iranian regime with
- 1:11:48Speaker 11: nuclear weapons. I mean it's like my physics professor used
- 1:11:53Speaker 11: to say, it's intuitively obvious. You know, even see the
- 1:12:01Speaker 11: Chinese said, yes, you cannot trust the current regime with
- 1:12:07Speaker 11: nuclear weapons.
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: They said it, man, but you got you can't trust
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: you either, because he's playing both sides here. He's supplying
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: Iran with weapons, so you can't trust him. I know
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: he said it, but to me, that means nothing when
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: he says something. When Putin says something, I know Trump
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: is doing the best he can to make a great deal.
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: And I thought Trump was magnificent last week. But I
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: don't trust Gee either. But you're right, there's no way
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: we can allow that. And that's why I think either
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: Wednesday or Thursday, John, we're gonna start firing again in Iran.
- 1:12:36Speaker 11: Well, he's the president of the United States. He makes
- 1:12:39Speaker 11: the decisions. And I know he talked to Netanyahu yesterday. Uh,
- 1:12:46Speaker 11: And I'm sure they have a game plan. And well,
- 1:12:51Speaker 11: I'm sure they didn't talk about it on a telephone
- 1:12:54Speaker 11: because even the secure telephones they don't trust. That's true.
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: You're right, you really can't. You can't. I mean everything
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: today seems like if they want it, they can get
- 1:13:05Speaker 3: it telephone conversations, tax messages. It's very hard to really.
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: If they want it, they're gonna find the one.
- 1:13:12Speaker 11: The Chinese even loaned even loaned the UH their satellites
- 1:13:20Speaker 11: to Iran to to to see where the United States
- 1:13:25Speaker 11: destroyers and the United States aircraft carriers. Right, you can't
- 1:13:30Speaker 11: you can't trust you know what happens the Biden administration
- 1:13:35Speaker 11: during the those four years trusted and guess what, we
- 1:13:40Speaker 11: were invaded and the United States was invaded and hurt
- 1:13:46Speaker 11: in so many ways, whether it's the whether it was
- 1:13:49Speaker 11: the Chinese, whether it was the Iranians, whether it was
- 1:13:53Speaker 11: the Russians. America was under attacked. And any American citizens
- 1:13:58Speaker 11: that doesn't realize that, well, guess what, you better get
- 1:14:05Speaker 11: a reality chat.
- 1:14:06Speaker 3: Shame on them. You're right, I tell you this governor too,
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: can't trust her either. I mean, we've got this very.
- 1:14:13Speaker 11: Very disappointed she has. You know, you know, we give
- 1:14:18Speaker 11: everybody a chance, but I'm very very disappointed because she
- 1:14:23Speaker 11: could find all the money she wants, and the city
- 1:14:26Speaker 11: can find all the money they want, and he's Eric
- 1:14:29Speaker 11: Adams found all the money they needed for the migrants,
- 1:14:33Speaker 11: but when it comes down to the American citizens, they
- 1:14:36Speaker 11: can't find it. And you know, everything is fair in
- 1:14:42Speaker 11: love and war, but it's it's a problem. And you know,
- 1:14:49Speaker 11: I had Governor DeSantis on my radio show yesterday, and
- 1:14:55Speaker 11: you know, he's governor until the end of the year,
- 1:14:57Speaker 11: and then I think him and President Trump have made peace,
- 1:15:02Speaker 11: and I think President Trump is going to offer him
- 1:15:04Speaker 11: a cabinet position and he may be eligible for twenty
- 1:15:10Speaker 11: twenty eight. He's done a wonderful job in Florida, and
- 1:15:18Speaker 11: he is in New York today and tomorrow, and he's
- 1:15:23Speaker 11: going to be speaking at the New York State Gala
- 1:15:27Speaker 11: of the GOP Gala, and people are looking forward to
- 1:15:32Speaker 11: hearing him because I don't think you know Florida. I
- 1:15:38Speaker 11: guess twenty four million people. I had Rick Scott on too,
- 1:15:43Speaker 11: and he was governor of Florida for eight years governor
- 1:15:49Speaker 11: at one point, at one point New York State had
- 1:15:53Speaker 11: more residents than in the Florida. And now Florida has
- 1:15:59Speaker 11: twenty four million people and New York is down to
- 1:16:03Speaker 11: nineteen five or something like that, you know. And the
- 1:16:07Speaker 11: and finally we all find out the reason for the
- 1:16:11Speaker 11: Biden migration because they count congressional seats in the Senate,
- 1:16:18Speaker 11: they count dead dead people, and they count migrants and
- 1:16:22Speaker 11: dead people. I mean. And Judicial Watch is doing a
- 1:16:28Speaker 11: big job trying to eliminate all the dead people, et cetera,
- 1:16:33Speaker 11: et cetera, off the census because the Blue states are
- 1:16:40Speaker 11: losing a lot of votes, a lot of voters, and
- 1:16:43Speaker 11: they're moving. They're moving to Texas, they're moving to Florida.
- 1:16:47Speaker 11: And and I was on Fox that time when the
- 1:16:52Speaker 11: Governor Hopo said, Okay, all your people down down in Florida,
- 1:16:58Speaker 11: please move on back.
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: I was there. I was on the beach. No listen,
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: I was on you, remember John. I was on the
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: beach in Fort Lauderdale that morning. I tweeted, I'm gonna
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: start finding extra New Yorkers on the beach. It's about
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: a month ago, and asked him to come back. Why
- 1:17:12Speaker 3: would they want to come back. All you have is
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: a gee hot mayor and a governor that wants to
- 1:17:16Speaker 3: tax you up the ass. I'm sure they can't wait
- 1:17:19Speaker 3: to come back. And it was snowing by the way
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: in New York, and I was on the beach in
- 1:17:22Speaker 3: Fort Lauderdale. It was seventy eight degrees. But she's look,
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: you talked about the money for the illegals that she found.
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: She also found a lot of money, billions of dollars
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: to give to her friend who she scared the death
- 1:17:34Speaker 3: of the mayor of the city's or Mamdanie, so he
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: could make his budget look better than it really really is.
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: And as you heard with me and Bruce Bakeman this morning,
- 1:17:42Speaker 3: I had the excus him with Bruce Bakeman only this morning,
- 1:17:45Speaker 3: six o'clock hour. At the very least, at the very least,
- 1:17:49Speaker 3: Governor Hcal, at the very least, should pause the congestion pricing.
- 1:17:54Speaker 3: If you're gonna screw all those people on Long Island,
- 1:17:57Speaker 3: stop blaming Trump. He has nothing to do with this.
- 1:18:00Speaker 3: I got the you can find billions of dollars for
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: illegals for your buddy mom, Donnie. If you're gonna screw
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: all these fine people trying to get to work from
- 1:18:08Speaker 3: Nasal and Suffolk County, the least you can do is
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: pause that nine dollars congestion pricing, which is really a
- 1:18:16Speaker 3: punishment for New Yorkers trying to work in the city.
- 1:18:20Speaker 11: They hurt. New York City was hurt so much more
- 1:18:24Speaker 11: than people realize. There's a report out and I think
- 1:18:29Speaker 11: Steve Philip has one has a copy of it from
- 1:18:33Speaker 11: the New York City.
- 1:18:34Speaker 27: Partnership that how much Manhattan has gotten hurt, hurt, very,
- 1:18:41Speaker 27: very badly on this congestion pricing stores have closed the
- 1:18:46Speaker 27: cost of delivering for vendors to deliver into Manhattan.
- 1:18:51Speaker 11: They want a premium. So we got a problem. We
- 1:18:55Speaker 11: got a problem for whom did the bells told? And
- 1:18:59Speaker 11: then that tolling for the average New Yorker. Right now,
- 1:19:04Speaker 11: they want to raise real estate taxes down to the
- 1:19:09Speaker 11: middle class. Forget about the rich. The middle class is
- 1:19:12Speaker 11: going to get punished with these new these new taxes
- 1:19:17Speaker 11: that want to go in. And I think that the
- 1:19:20Speaker 11: Bruce Blakeman Kathy Hockel governorship, I think he's going to
- 1:19:25Speaker 11: get tighter and tighter because people are going to reach
- 1:19:29Speaker 11: the what you what do you call it in Brooklyn,
- 1:19:31Speaker 11: New f few levels? You know, I mean, how do
- 1:19:35Speaker 11: you say enough is enough? I mean there's there's too much. Uh,
- 1:19:41Speaker 11: we're going to chase everybody out. And I don't want that.
- 1:19:44Speaker 11: I hate to see New York City, New York State lose.
- 1:19:47Speaker 11: I'm trying, trying, trying to to talk common sense to everybody.
- 1:19:53Speaker 11: And originally when it was one hundred day rule, I said, well,
- 1:19:56Speaker 11: let's do one hundred and fifty days because everybody's still
- 1:19:59Speaker 11: on the learning curve. But that one hundred and fifty
- 1:20:01Speaker 11: days is going to be coming up soon. And I
- 1:20:05Speaker 11: am worried about the city. I'm worried about the state.
- 1:20:07Speaker 11: And you know who's gonna get hurt at the end
- 1:20:10Speaker 11: of the day, The people are gonna get hurt at
- 1:20:13Speaker 11: the end of the day, or the New York State workers.
- 1:20:17Speaker 11: There's two hundred thousand of them, the New York City workers.
- 1:20:20Speaker 11: Because if the rady agencies shoot down the bond ratings
- 1:20:26Speaker 11: of the city and the state, then get you know,
- 1:20:29Speaker 11: this has to be layoffs and in the city workers
- 1:20:33Speaker 11: and the state workers are gonna get hurt. So everybody's
- 1:20:36Speaker 11: gonna get hurt. What we want is America first, American
- 1:20:41Speaker 11: citizens first. And you know I think we we I
- 1:20:47Speaker 11: think we put a stop to migration.
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: You know, well they closed the border.
- 1:20:53Speaker 11: They closed the border, right And and what's gonna take
- 1:20:58Speaker 11: November of nineteen eight, the no. November of twenty twenty
- 1:21:04Speaker 11: six is going to be a big decision on all
- 1:21:07Speaker 11: American people on voting for common sense versus voting for drugs,
- 1:21:15Speaker 11: for more drug boats and more fetanol coming in from Mexico.
- 1:21:22Speaker 11: I mean, when we talk about America under attack. The
- 1:21:27Speaker 11: Chinese could put an end to all the fetino coming
- 1:21:32Speaker 11: in from Mexico in five minutes. Five minutes, I said, okay,
- 1:21:38Speaker 11: in President trumpet and to all the drugs coming in
- 1:21:44Speaker 11: from Venezuela by shooting down all those boats.
- 1:21:47Speaker 15: You know?
- 1:21:49Speaker 11: And why did the Democrats side with the boats coming
- 1:21:53Speaker 11: in from Venezuela. I still don't understand that. Where is
- 1:21:57Speaker 11: the common center?
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: I know Cory books mourn tomorrow in New Jersey tomorrow.
- 1:22:05Speaker 11: Is he siding with the with the boats coming in
- 1:22:08Speaker 11: from venis World because twumps to kill the American people?
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: Because because it's whatever Trump wants to go against it.
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: Cory Booker is a moron. It's not a smart guy.
- 1:22:17Speaker 3: Anybody who's wanting to sacrifice the lives of our children
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: here in America, or illegals walking down the street and
- 1:22:24Speaker 3: putting a bullet and shirt in Gorman's back, or throwing
- 1:22:27Speaker 3: a Vietnam bet Richard Williams on a subway train because
- 1:22:30Speaker 3: they hate Trump and they decided that disagreeing with Trump
- 1:22:33Speaker 3: is more important than American values and American lives. Those
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: are not good people, not having a bad day. The scumbags, John,
- 1:22:41Speaker 3: That's what they are. And that is about ninety nine
- 1:22:43Speaker 3: percent of the Democrat Party. That's your bottom line.
- 1:22:47Speaker 11: Well, that that is very very sad, and the American
- 1:22:50Speaker 11: people have to realize it's very sad. And you know
- 1:22:53Speaker 11: what it's gonna take. Just like nineteen eighty four that uh,
- 1:23:00Speaker 11: forty nine states were lost, that's right to the Republicans,
- 1:23:03Speaker 11: the Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan won forty nine states and
- 1:23:06Speaker 11: the fiftieth state he only lost for eighteen thousand votes.
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: That's right.
- 1:23:11Speaker 11: So at what point, I mean, that's the only way
- 1:23:14Speaker 11: that common sense may come back to the Democratic Party.
- 1:23:17Speaker 11: Otherwise the Democratic Socialist Party has taken over the Democratic Party.
- 1:23:23Speaker 11: And enough is enough. You need common sense and to
- 1:23:27Speaker 11: bless America. I mean, it's just and I think Bruce Blakeman,
- 1:23:34Speaker 11: I think he's going to start coming very close to
- 1:23:36Speaker 11: think the polls were going to reverse themselves. And because
- 1:23:41Speaker 11: New York City, New Yorkers, whether you're voted, it's not
- 1:23:44Speaker 11: about being registered Democrats, being pro New York Ye and
- 1:23:51Speaker 11: pro common sense. I mean, you know, enough is enough?
- 1:23:53Speaker 3: Agreed, Well, it's not all terrible news. The sunshining today.
- 1:23:57Speaker 3: Little J three is walking at a nice dinner with
- 1:23:59Speaker 3: AJ weekend. You're back in the Hamptons. The weather is
- 1:24:02Speaker 3: getting nice, so it's not all terrible news yet, John,
- 1:24:04Speaker 3: But we certainly have a lot of work to do.
- 1:24:06Speaker 3: And if anybody's up with that, working.

- 1:24:20Speaker 3: cold weather. We need it. This was a gorgeous weekend,
- 1:24:22Speaker 3: wasn't it last weekend?
- 1:24:24Speaker 11: It was a gorgeous weekend and the sun was shining
- 1:24:28Speaker 11: on New York and we I was walking through Central
- 1:24:32Speaker 11: Park yesterday and there must have been a sillion people
- 1:24:35Speaker 11: in Central Park. Yeah yeah, and the trees are green,
- 1:24:39Speaker 11: and you know, and New York is the greatest place
- 1:24:43Speaker 11: in the world. And I urge all New Yorkers, let's
- 1:24:46Speaker 11: make sure we keep New York City and New York
- 1:24:49Speaker 11: State the greatest country, a great greatest city, greatest state
- 1:24:53Speaker 11: in the world. And all we have to do is
- 1:24:56Speaker 11: just fight for New York.

- 1:25:28Speaker 3: back after the news. We waiting for this guy for
- 1:25:30Speaker 3: days now. Gordon Shang followed Gordon on Twitter at Gordon
- 1:25:34Speaker 3: g Chang Gotta get Gordon's opinion on Trump's visit to China.
- 1:25:38Speaker 3: Gordon Shang Coming.
- 1:25:39Speaker 29: Up, Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red
- 1:25:43Speaker 29: Apple Podcast Network. Just Sid and Friends in the Morning,
- 1:25:50Speaker 29: Entertaining and informative.
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: Gordon Chang Gordon g Chang on Twitter, Gordo, I only
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: wanted to talk to you last week. You was so
- 1:26:01Speaker 3: busy President Trump's trip to China home run for America.
- 1:26:06Speaker 3: Well you wanted to see more.
- 1:26:08Speaker 26: Well right now, we just don't know, Sid, because you
- 1:26:12Speaker 26: know Normally, Sino US summits are all planned in advance,
- 1:26:16Speaker 26: everything's decided before the foreign leaders. His wheels up this one.
- 1:26:22Speaker 26: President Trump gets a lot of credit for going toe
- 1:26:24Speaker 26: to toe with Sijin Ping on enemy soil. I know
- 1:26:29Speaker 26: that a lot of people have scored it in favor
- 1:26:31Speaker 26: of China, and I can see why they say that,
- 1:26:33Speaker 26: but I think those assessments are premature. You know. So
- 1:26:37Speaker 26: for instance, we saw siegen Ping say some very very
- 1:26:41Speaker 26: arrogant things mentioning new era through Citity's trap. President Trump
- 1:26:46Speaker 26: showed restraint, and I think that restraint was the better
- 1:26:49Speaker 26: response for him. And eventually Trump's going to get back
- 1:26:52Speaker 26: at Siegemping for trying to humiliate not only President Trump
- 1:26:55Speaker 26: but the United States because this will not go unanswered.
- 1:26:59Speaker 26: So people and they say that Trump didn't respond and
- 1:27:02Speaker 26: so therefore they think Stijon thing's in control. But no,
- 1:27:05Speaker 26: that's not the case at all.
- 1:27:07Speaker 3: It's interesting because the last time Obama went to China,
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: because Biden didn't go, he had ching, he had g
- 1:27:13Speaker 3: here in San Francisco. Obama arrived in China like nobody
- 1:27:17Speaker 3: was there. Nobody cared. Trump showed up. They had the
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: red carpet, they had state banquets. Say, you know, they
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: treated Trump like the man that he is the greatest
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: leader in the world today. So right off the bat,
- 1:27:29Speaker 3: they treated Trump with a lot of respect. But there
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: were some times, like you said, Taiwan, for example, China
- 1:27:35Speaker 3: got very very tough with Taiwan. But President Trump didn't
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: back down there either. In fact, he even said, if
- 1:27:41Speaker 3: I have to, I'll supply the Taiwanese with weapons. So
- 1:27:45Speaker 3: and even with Iran, you know, where she promised some
- 1:27:47Speaker 3: things that he's never going to do. I'm not exactly
- 1:27:50Speaker 3: sure where people saw g have an advantage. He remained
- 1:27:54Speaker 3: top on a couple of items she did. I'll give
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: him credit for that. But in none of those situations
- 1:27:59Speaker 3: did President Trump back down that I can remember.
- 1:28:02Speaker 26: That's right. Trump did not back down. He did not
- 1:28:05Speaker 26: make concessions, and he played the quiet role here, and
- 1:28:09Speaker 26: I think that that showed self confidence. You know, I
- 1:28:13Speaker 26: think Sigean Ping really tried to go out to give
- 1:28:16Speaker 26: Trump a hard time, and he did that in a
- 1:28:18Speaker 26: number of different ways, not only with those statements on Thursday,
- 1:28:22Speaker 26: but on the second day. You know, those two chairs
- 1:28:24Speaker 26: at jung Nan High Si Jianping's was higher and Trump's
- 1:28:28Speaker 26: was lower. So you know, just sjin Ping was playing
- 1:28:32Speaker 26: silly games, and that's really the sign of an insecure leader.
- 1:28:35Speaker 26: And China has a lot of reasons to be insecure,
- 1:28:38Speaker 26: largely because their country is falling apart beneath stjen Ping.
- 1:28:42Speaker 26: We're seeing some very In the last couple hours, we
- 1:28:45Speaker 26: saw some very distressing numbers out of their economy that
- 1:28:48Speaker 26: continues along trend. We know that Chinese people are either
- 1:28:52Speaker 26: angry or resigned to what's going up. And also there's
- 1:28:56Speaker 26: this demography that China is going through the biggest democh
- 1:29:00Speaker 26: graphic collapse in history. Trump knows all that and decides
- 1:29:04Speaker 26: not to press the advantage, at least on the outside.
- 1:29:07Speaker 26: But Trump does get He did get a lot of
- 1:29:09Speaker 26: concessions from China, and people aren't properly scoring it for
- 1:29:13Speaker 26: that reason. As I said, we won't know for quite
- 1:29:16Speaker 26: some time how this ball really came out, but I
- 1:29:19Speaker 26: think that when it does, it'll show that Trump got
- 1:29:21Speaker 26: the upper hand.
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: I think I think so too. Of Course, I'm biased
- 1:29:25Speaker 3: with Trump, so you can't trust the word that I
- 1:29:28Speaker 3: but I gotta tell you this, gee, you can't trust him.
- 1:29:31Speaker 3: It's a joke. When I say, people will tell me
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: on the show, you know gee said this. What do
- 1:29:35Speaker 3: I care what he said? You can't trust him. On
- 1:29:38Speaker 3: one hand, at the state banquet, he'll say all these
- 1:29:40Speaker 3: nice things about Trump, and then he'll warn Trump, don't
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: mess with Taiwan. Then I'll tell Trump I will help you,
- 1:29:46Speaker 3: will help you with Iran. And then ten minutes later
- 1:29:49Speaker 3: he'll send a whole bunch of weapons to the casbn C.
- 1:29:51Speaker 3: It's like Putin, same exact thing. Putin's on the phone
- 1:29:54Speaker 3: with Trump, Trump says, lad, I love you. I love
- 1:29:57Speaker 3: you too. Can you stop bombing Ukraine? PLA, please sure?
- 1:30:01Speaker 3: Ten minutes later, Putin drops a bomb. All these guys,
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: whether it's g in China or Putin in Russia or
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: Rocketman in North Korea, you can't trust any of them.
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what they say to Trump, what they
- 1:30:12Speaker 3: say to the media, they are still our adversaries. And
- 1:30:16Speaker 3: in the end, the what about their own asses? Not ours?
- 1:30:20Speaker 26: Absolutely, And I would say their enemies in the case
- 1:30:24Speaker 26: of Sesim thing because that's what his regime calls us.
- 1:30:28Speaker 26: So I think that we do need to return the favor.
- 1:30:31Speaker 26: And you know, Seijianping doesn't adhere to his promises. You know,
- 1:30:35Speaker 26: in April, in the middle of April, Sijianping told President
- 1:30:39Speaker 26: Trump that they wouldn't be sending weapons to Iran, that
- 1:30:42Speaker 26: they haven't sent weapons to Iran. And now you know,
- 1:30:45Speaker 26: we hear the same promise at the summit. But as
- 1:30:48Speaker 26: you point out in the interim, China was sending weapons
- 1:30:51Speaker 26: to Iran. They were doing that through various routes, including
- 1:30:55Speaker 26: sending their military transports, turning off their transponders, and landing
- 1:31:01Speaker 26: dark in Iran. Well. Military transports usually carrying military equipment.
- 1:31:06Speaker 26: So yeah, there's a problem there and Trump knows that,
- 1:31:09Speaker 26: and I'm sure that Trump is one way or another
- 1:31:11Speaker 26: going to deal with it. But on the other hand,
- 1:31:14Speaker 26: as our president said before he left for Beijing, I
- 1:31:17Speaker 26: don't need China's help on Iran, And that's true. Chinese
- 1:31:21Speaker 26: have been basically bystanders, except for some sly maneuvers of
- 1:31:24Speaker 26: sending weapons, but probably they have not had a major
- 1:31:28Speaker 26: difference those weapons.
- 1:31:30Speaker 3: Listen, Trump's a real smart guy. He was on with
- 1:31:33Speaker 3: me for forty five minutes last Tuesday. He mentioned China
- 1:31:37Speaker 3: the trip, it's going to be great, It's going to
- 1:31:38Speaker 3: be great, and he ran, it's all great. I don't
- 1:31:41Speaker 3: think he went there with any real expectations. Gordon, you're
- 1:31:44Speaker 3: smarter than me with this, Gordon Chang, with any real
- 1:31:46Speaker 3: expectations that China was going to help us in the war.
- 1:31:49Speaker 3: That's why he said we don't need him, because he
- 1:31:51Speaker 3: knew they weren't going to help us. I think this
- 1:31:54Speaker 3: trip was based on a nice photo op between the
- 1:31:58Speaker 3: two countries. Importantly business right, He took twenty CEOs. I
- 1:32:04Speaker 3: heard day one they won the video, already did ten
- 1:32:07Speaker 3: different deals supplying chips to Chinese businesses. And he had
- 1:32:12Speaker 3: the Boeing guy there, and he had Elon Musk there.
- 1:32:14Speaker 3: And I don't know how many of those guys actually
- 1:32:16Speaker 3: got deals done, but at the very least some of
- 1:32:18Speaker 3: those guys are less high profile guys like Whang for example.
- 1:32:21Speaker 3: From the video. They had a chance to meet some
- 1:32:24Speaker 3: of these Chinese business Chinese businessmen, which I think will
- 1:32:27Speaker 3: go a long way in the future. So for me,
- 1:32:29Speaker 3: for me, this deal was always about American business in
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: China and to a certain extent, Chinese business in America.
- 1:32:37Speaker 3: And on that front, I think Trump did well.
- 1:32:40Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean we sold two hundred planes. Now those
- 1:32:44Speaker 26: sales have got to be documented. But I do believe
- 1:32:47Speaker 26: the Chinese will adhere to that promise. I'm not crazy
- 1:32:51Speaker 26: about more Chinese investment in the US because those factories
- 1:32:55Speaker 26: are basis of subversion, and we're already being overwhelmed by
- 1:32:58Speaker 26: the Chinese in our country.
- 1:32:59Speaker 3: Can we stopped that? But why can't we stop that?
- 1:33:01Speaker 3: I mean, we know this already. Just about everything they
- 1:33:04Speaker 3: buy here and do here comes with a camera, It
- 1:33:07Speaker 3: comes with the real possibility that there's spying on us.
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: Why don't we just stop that.
- 1:33:13Speaker 26: I think that we absolutely should because we know that
- 1:33:15Speaker 26: it's going on. You know, take the issue of Chinese
- 1:33:18Speaker 26: students spying. Now, we also know that the Chinese counsular
- 1:33:24Speaker 26: officials ad Ministry of State security agents monitor coerce and
- 1:33:28Speaker 26: surveil Chinese students. If we get those diplomats out of
- 1:33:32Speaker 26: the scene, if we get those agents out of our country,
- 1:33:35Speaker 26: then you know, we've got a decent chance of having
- 1:33:38Speaker 26: a good relationship with Chinese students. But you know, this
- 1:33:42Speaker 26: is now on us, and it's been on us for
- 1:33:44Speaker 26: quite some time, because we've known about this for a
- 1:33:47Speaker 26: very long time. Sid So yes, it is our responsibility
- 1:33:52Speaker 26: now because by the way, it's our country, right last
- 1:33:56Speaker 26: I checked?
- 1:33:56Speaker 28: Right?
- 1:33:56Speaker 3: Two more? No, you got to tell me to do
- 1:33:58Speaker 3: a nine o'clock. I'll let you run. Iran is also crazy.
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: I mean, you know that they're blowing up other Arab countries,
- 1:34:05Speaker 3: countries that were on Iran's side before epic fury, and
- 1:34:10Speaker 3: now they're not because Iran just dropping bombs everywhere. And
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: what they take out now two Chinese vessels? Do they
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: not understand? No matter what she set the trump last week,
- 1:34:20Speaker 3: it's all nonsense. The Chinese still favor Iran over America,
- 1:34:25Speaker 3: and she will still help them. So if you're Iran,
- 1:34:28Speaker 3: why would you start blowing up Chinese vessels when they're
- 1:34:31Speaker 3: about your last hope?
- 1:34:34Speaker 26: Yeah, that to me doesn't make sense. The only way
- 1:34:37Speaker 26: I can make sense of this is that China put
- 1:34:39Speaker 26: Iran up to it so that Cajian Pain could look
- 1:34:43Speaker 26: like an honest broker. But that's just a wild speculation.
- 1:34:47Speaker 26: That's the only thing that makes sense to me right now, because,
- 1:34:50Speaker 26: as you point out, Iran hitting Chinese ships is completely insane.
- 1:34:56Speaker 3: Unless they're just you know, so whacked out in paranoid,
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: they're just shoot I don't know, they're just shooting all
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: over the place. And you know, I expect that this
- 1:35:05Speaker 3: thing's gonna start up again on Wednesday or Thursday, and
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: that's gonna put the people that I care about there
- 1:35:10Speaker 3: as well. He's in serious danger because, as you know,
- 1:35:13Speaker 3: Yban's not gonna hit Staten Island. They're not gonna hit Cincinnati.
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: They're gonna hit Tel Aviv again. My daughter is supposed
- 1:35:19Speaker 3: to go June first. I'm supposed to go for a
- 1:35:21Speaker 3: week and a half June eighteenth. Not that I'm worried
- 1:35:24Speaker 3: about us necessarily, but you know, once Trump hits them
- 1:35:27Speaker 3: on Wednesday or Thursday, the next city to get hit
- 1:35:30Speaker 3: is going to be in Israel.
- 1:35:32Speaker 26: Yes, it will, you know. And there's some things that
- 1:35:34Speaker 26: Trump can do which will just require a minimal use
- 1:35:37Speaker 26: of force, but which will be extremely effective. One of
- 1:35:40Speaker 26: them is to declare a no fly zone over Iran
- 1:35:43Speaker 26: that involves no force, and the other is to just
- 1:35:46Speaker 26: sever those rail links that Ron is using to send
- 1:35:49Speaker 26: oil to China. It's a pretty inefficient way of doing that,
- 1:35:53Speaker 26: but at least they're getting a little bit of money.
- 1:35:55Speaker 26: So we should cut off all of Iran's links with
- 1:35:58Speaker 26: the outside. And that's a pretty minor operation. Now, I
- 1:36:03Speaker 26: don't know what prison Trump's gonna do. I mean, he
- 1:36:05Speaker 26: could take out a lot of infrastructure. We'll just have
- 1:36:08Speaker 26: to wait and see. But you know, you're absolutely right.
- 1:36:10Speaker 26: This is coming down the road. And by the way,
- 1:36:12Speaker 26: China is a bystander.
- 1:36:14Speaker 3: Yeah, at the very least. They may be more than that.
- 1:36:17Speaker 3: I think they're on the other team.
- 1:36:18Speaker 26: All right, So we're on the other team, but they
- 1:36:20Speaker 26: can't do very much because we've got the power and
- 1:36:24Speaker 26: the Chinese. They're being chased out of the Middle East. Yeah,
- 1:36:27Speaker 26: they're being chased out of the Western hemisphere, and you
- 1:36:29Speaker 26: got to thank Trump for that.
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: You're right. So in the final sixty seconds, Gordon Chang
- 1:36:33Speaker 3: fottole him at Gordon g Chang, I love you. I
- 1:36:35Speaker 3: know Trump still love you too. I know you guys
- 1:36:37Speaker 3: back at both, but he loves you. Give me what
- 1:36:40Speaker 3: you what you want to see? You said, We're not
- 1:36:42Speaker 3: gonna know for a while here. What has to happen
- 1:36:44Speaker 3: when we do find out? What do you want to
- 1:36:46Speaker 3: hear that says that this was absolutely a successful trip
- 1:36:51Speaker 3: for Trump.
- 1:36:52Speaker 26: Yeah, A couple of things. One of them is I'd
- 1:36:55Speaker 26: like to see Pastor Ezra Jin Freed. Trump said that
- 1:36:58Speaker 26: that probably would happen. I'd like to see Jimmy live free.
- 1:37:02Speaker 26: Trump said that's probably not going to happen. And the
- 1:37:05Speaker 26: other thing is, I'd like to see the administration go
- 1:37:08Speaker 26: ahead with that fourteen billion dollar arm sale to Taiwan.
- 1:37:12Speaker 26: The Chinese right now are not in no position to
- 1:37:15Speaker 26: invade Taiwan. It's the perfect time to sell arms. That
- 1:37:18Speaker 26: enhances the terms and it also encourages our friends. And
- 1:37:21Speaker 26: I think the Trump administration will indeed authorize that sale.
- 1:37:26Speaker 26: So out of those three things, probably two of them
- 1:37:28Speaker 26: will occur.
- 1:37:29Speaker 3: And if they do, we went right well, yeah, and.
- 1:37:33Speaker 26: I think what is right now because we haven't really
- 1:37:37Speaker 26: made any concessions, I think we're probably a little bit
- 1:37:40Speaker 26: above water. We'll see, but I think that this is
- 1:37:43Speaker 26: going to be scored a Trump victory. And by the way,
- 1:37:46Speaker 26: I think historians for decades are going to look at
- 1:37:48Speaker 26: this summit as just pivotal.
- 1:37:51Speaker 3: I agree with you, Gordon. You're terrific. You wially are great.
- 1:37:54Speaker 3: You know that I think it. You're great, So thank
- 1:37:56Speaker 3: you for hopping on today. I was looking forward to
- 1:37:58Speaker 3: this conversation as always, you did not this point. Then
- 1:38:00Speaker 3: we'll do it again very soon. Gordon Chang, thank you
- 1:38:03Speaker 3: so much.
- 1:38:04Speaker 26: Well, thank you, Sid, and I really appreciate it.
- 1:38:07Speaker 29: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:38:10Speaker 29: Podcast Network. Just Sid and Friends in the Morning, entertaining
- 1:38:17Speaker 29: and informative on the Red Apple Podcast networks.
- 1:38:22Speaker 3: All Right, I've been looking forward to talking to this
- 1:38:24Speaker 3: guy for a long time. He's got a great grasp
- 1:38:26Speaker 3: of what's going on in New York City, has for
- 1:38:29Speaker 3: the longest time yet he's ever been on this show.
- 1:38:31Speaker 3: But we'll be on now. Hank Shinkough, Hank, welcome to
- 1:38:35Speaker 3: Sit and Friends in the Morning. It's nice to have you, buddy.
- 1:38:37Speaker 5: Thank you so much, Thank you very much for having
- 1:38:39Speaker 5: me on. Said, I'm very grateful to you.
- 1:38:41Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate that. So the mayor needs a
- 1:38:43Speaker 3: bit of a history lesson. It's moron, because what happened
- 1:38:47Speaker 3: in nineteen forty eight, I know you know this, Hank,
- 1:38:49Speaker 3: You're a very smart guy. Was that even after the
- 1:38:52Speaker 3: UE got involved in nineteen forty seven and they wanted
- 1:38:55Speaker 3: to split up Israel in the Arabs to two states,
- 1:38:58Speaker 3: and Israel said yes, okay, that's said yes. In nineteen
- 1:39:02Speaker 3: forty eight, the Arabs five countries, five of them Egypt, Jordan,
- 1:39:05Speaker 3: a whole bunch of them. Syria, they decided, Nah, we
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: changed our mind, We're going to kill all the Jews
- 1:39:10Speaker 3: and take over. But here's what they didn't get. You
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: ain't beating us. So we kicked their asses and we won,
- 1:39:17Speaker 3: and we made Israel an independent state in nineteen forty eight.
- 1:39:21Speaker 3: So when this mayor it talks about Knakba Day, which
- 1:39:25Speaker 3: is ridiculous in this city, okay, and tweets it out
- 1:39:28Speaker 3: on shops purposely to stick it up the Jews asshank
- 1:39:31Speaker 3: knack bah d this day were seventy thousand Palestinians with
- 1:39:35Speaker 3: this place. That's a lie. That's not true. They were
- 1:39:38Speaker 3: actually forced out by their own people who decided to
- 1:39:41Speaker 3: start a war and got their asses kicked. That's how
- 1:39:44Speaker 3: that went, you know that, right.
- 1:39:46Speaker 5: Of course, of course, And look, the whole issue is
- 1:39:49Speaker 5: a lie.
- 1:39:49Speaker 31: You know.
- 1:39:50Speaker 5: Bernard Lewis, the great scholar on the Middle East in Islam,
- 1:39:53Speaker 5: talked about the seventy sixty seventy years ago that he
- 1:39:56Speaker 5: predicted jihad, and he predicted that because the Herbs would
- 1:40:00Speaker 5: keep losing these wars, they would be humiliated. Muslim people
- 1:40:03Speaker 5: would be humiliated overall and would seek revenge, which is
- 1:40:06Speaker 5: what they've done. If you look at the history of
- 1:40:07Speaker 5: the region, people have to stop lying and ask themselves.
- 1:40:10Speaker 5: Where are the Zoroastrians, Where are the bahai Where are
- 1:40:13Speaker 5: the Chaldean Catholics? Where are the Coptic Christians? Where once
- 1:40:17Speaker 5: ninety percent of Egypt? Where are the Where are the
- 1:40:20Speaker 5: Assyrian Catholics? What happened to all these people? They were murdered, ejected.
- 1:40:25Speaker 5: I mean, Jews were the largest population in Yemen at
- 1:40:28Speaker 5: one point. What happened to all these people? We're not
- 1:40:31Speaker 5: on why are the black people were Muslims in West Africa?
- 1:40:35Speaker 5: Why is this the case? This is not by accident.
- 1:40:37Speaker 5: When we're talking about people who do not believe in
- 1:40:42Speaker 5: what's the good word in pluralism, who don't believe that
- 1:40:46Speaker 5: somehow Jews should exist in the region, and it is
- 1:40:49Speaker 5: a it is a source of embarrassment to them. And
- 1:40:52Speaker 5: despite the fact that they killed Hevron in twenty nine,
- 1:40:56Speaker 5: nineteen twenty nine is a class where rape and murder
- 1:40:59Speaker 5: where the after the day based on a rumor, and
- 1:41:01Speaker 5: that was a constant in the In the pre Israel
- 1:41:06Speaker 5: mandate Palestine, there has never been a country named Palestine.
- 1:41:10Speaker 5: It's a ridiculous idea. Palestina was created by the Romans
- 1:41:14Speaker 5: at the seventy a d destruction of the Second Temple,
- 1:41:17Speaker 5: and there was a large Jewish population that was allowed
- 1:41:19Speaker 5: to exist. There areminic sources that were there. And the
- 1:41:24Speaker 5: larger question, said is if this is all successful, the
- 1:41:28Speaker 5: West is finished because the basic arguments of democracy, which
- 1:41:33Speaker 5: are you know, the Fifth Amendment is a Jewish idea.
- 1:41:36Speaker 5: Protection of women's rights is in the marriage license, marriage
- 1:41:39Speaker 5: contract to katuba is a Jewish idea. Incorruptible courts is
- 1:41:44Speaker 5: a Jewish idea. Let's see what else property rights there,
- 1:41:49Speaker 5: It's extensive. It is a Jewish idea. Protection against abuse
- 1:41:52Speaker 5: by government is a Jewish ida.
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: Brother, I'll take it. How about everything? How about this
- 1:41:59Speaker 3: Christian is a Jewish idea? I've got I've got Father
- 1:42:02Speaker 3: Cassado on here. Often the monsignor comes on Good Friday,
- 1:42:05Speaker 3: comes on all these very good men. He's a great man.
- 1:42:08Speaker 3: And I said, let me make you got to explain
- 1:42:10Speaker 3: to me how any Christian could ever be an anti semity.
- 1:42:14Speaker 3: He said, I don't get it either, because the truth is,
- 1:42:16Speaker 3: first of all, Jesus was Jewish. But there is no
- 1:42:19Speaker 3: Christianity without Judaism.
- 1:42:21Speaker 5: You cannot, you cannot what Christianity did, and you know,
- 1:42:24Speaker 5: and look, it was a little bit about this stuff.
- 1:42:27Speaker 5: What Christianity did was that it attempted to put a
- 1:42:30Speaker 5: spiritual light through the laws as we created them. And
- 1:42:33Speaker 5: that relationship between the two religions is not insignificant. And
- 1:42:38Speaker 5: the Church thanked God for the Holy Father Pope John
- 1:42:41Speaker 5: the twenty third in nineteen sixty three and did the
- 1:42:44Speaker 5: great enmity between Jews and the Christian world, the Catholic
- 1:42:48Speaker 5: world anyway, and that that that was very you know,
- 1:42:51Speaker 5: with the paper and CenTra all of that year, you know,
- 1:42:53Speaker 5: which which ended the cause for destruction of Judaism. So
- 1:42:58Speaker 5: now what we have is recreation of unfortunately realism that
- 1:43:02Speaker 5: has not had a reformation, Islam, and the Jews are
- 1:43:05Speaker 5: in the middle of it again because we're not leaving
- 1:43:07Speaker 5: our homeland and that's where we were. We were there before.
- 1:43:10Speaker 5: Islam is Slum's a new religion on the block there
- 1:43:13Speaker 5: here since thirteen hundred years. We're here for thirty five
- 1:43:17Speaker 5: hundred years. And there Jews in that country for over
- 1:43:19Speaker 5: you know, let's say, good numbers over two thousand years.
- 1:43:23Speaker 5: And the great books that I've talked about, and the
- 1:43:25Speaker 5: Talmut described those of those kinds of rights and frankly,
- 1:43:29Speaker 5: responsibilities of any civilized or functioning system. So we have
- 1:43:36Speaker 5: a complete reversal of ideas here. And we had the
- 1:43:38Speaker 5: left somehow having this delusional idea that there will be
- 1:43:42Speaker 5: a pluralistic society once we're gone. Douglas Murray and others,
- 1:43:46Speaker 5: and Melanie Phillips have talked about this, reasonable scholars that
- 1:43:49Speaker 5: that's not going to happen, and the country is a
- 1:43:51Speaker 5: great risk right now.
- 1:43:53Speaker 3: Couldn't agree more and start with New York and talk
- 1:43:56Speaker 3: about the country. Hank, you been covering local races for
- 1:43:59Speaker 3: a long time. The great shinkoff right here. That was
- 1:44:01Speaker 3: also a great little history lesson right there. Somebody said
- 1:44:04Speaker 3: that to mom, Donnie, what Hank just said. You've been
- 1:44:07Speaker 3: covering the city's politics for a long time. God was
- 1:44:10Speaker 3: good to me. I turned fifty nine last month. I've
- 1:44:13Speaker 3: never seen anything like this. I've seen horrible mayors. I
- 1:44:17Speaker 3: don't know how you built about these guys, doesn't matter.
- 1:44:19Speaker 3: Bill Deblasio was a horrendous mayor, horrendous, you know, quite Frankly.
- 1:44:24Speaker 3: Eric Adams was a major disappointment. Three of his four
- 1:44:27Speaker 3: years he did nothing but take care of illegals and
- 1:44:31Speaker 3: all the wrong people in this city. But this guy,
- 1:44:35Speaker 3: this guy, I've never seen anything like this. I've made
- 1:44:37Speaker 3: the point in my lifetime. He's probably the most dangerous
- 1:44:40Speaker 3: that's the word, the most dangerous politician that I've seen
- 1:44:44Speaker 3: in our country. Is that a gross overstatement.
- 1:44:48Speaker 5: I don't think it's an overstatement. I think that he
- 1:44:51Speaker 5: is to be commended. He is an extraordinarily brilliant communicator.
- 1:44:56Speaker 5: I predicted in January of twenty twenty five that he
- 1:44:59Speaker 5: would the mayor, and everybody said I was nuts, And
- 1:45:03Speaker 5: you can check the clips on that. I really publicly. Yeah,
- 1:45:06Speaker 5: check the clips. I said it.
- 1:45:08Speaker 3: I believe it.
- 1:45:08Speaker 5: I was the one to watch.
- 1:45:09Speaker 3: I believe it.
- 1:45:10Speaker 5: I predicted it, and people said it was out of
- 1:45:12Speaker 5: my mind.
- 1:45:12Speaker 3: But I also said, you did you predict that? But
- 1:45:15Speaker 3: did you predict that because you thought he was that good?
- 1:45:18Speaker 5: I said it on John Katim No, I believe.
- 1:45:20Speaker 3: I believe you said it. My question is did you
- 1:45:23Speaker 3: say that because you were impressed with him? Or was
- 1:45:26Speaker 3: it a combination of him and then looking at Adams
- 1:45:30Speaker 3: Cuomo and Curtis, Oh my god.
- 1:45:32Speaker 5: No, No, it's more important. It's more said. You have a
- 1:45:35Speaker 5: good combination. But let me add to that. Okay, maybe
- 1:45:37Speaker 5: it'll makes some sense. I hope it does. With great
- 1:45:39Speaker 5: respect for you. When you have these kinds of elections,
- 1:45:44Speaker 5: you have what they tend to signify is a major
- 1:45:46Speaker 5: demographic and economic shift in the city. Lindsey's sixty nine
- 1:45:50Speaker 5: and sixty five. Okay, Julianne would be let's say ninety
- 1:45:54Speaker 5: seen in ninety three. You have these kinds of extraordinary
- 1:45:58Speaker 5: events that occur where leadership changes because of ethnic and
- 1:46:03Speaker 5: economic changes in the city. The city is going through
- 1:46:06Speaker 5: a major demographic shift. And the great strength of New
- 1:46:10Speaker 5: York historical and maybe why so many of us feel
- 1:46:12Speaker 5: so much angst is that demographic shift, which has resulted
- 1:46:16Speaker 5: in the most productive you know, you know what was
- 1:46:19Speaker 5: a great line that how many people could trace their
- 1:46:22Speaker 5: roots to Brooklyn, this great ethnic balance of people leaving
- 1:46:25Speaker 5: New York being educated, coming to our schools that used
- 1:46:28Speaker 5: to work and education, educating people that they came through
- 1:46:33Speaker 5: that system and they became the most productive immigrant class
- 1:46:35Speaker 5: and second generation of third generation from those immigrants in
- 1:46:38Speaker 5: the history of the world. Is that going to happen again,
- 1:46:41Speaker 5: and is the great promise of New York still what
- 1:46:43Speaker 5: it was? Could a guy like me, you know, I
- 1:46:46Speaker 5: come from a very very usive environment, and you know
- 1:46:50Speaker 5: I was able to get a union job and bring
- 1:46:53Speaker 5: myself up and ultimately, thanks to a free university which
- 1:46:55Speaker 5: does existing work, get a college education and do the
- 1:46:58Speaker 5: things I did having worked in you know, campaigns in
- 1:47:00Speaker 5: the sixteen foreign countries ambition of what I've done in
- 1:47:03Speaker 5: the United States, I mean, can that happen again? The
- 1:47:05Speaker 5: answer is likely not, and the mayor's job is to
- 1:47:08Speaker 5: ensure that that can happen. But he is dangerous because
- 1:47:11Speaker 5: he doesn't believe that. He believes in a static situation
- 1:47:14Speaker 5: where the state provides sufficient services to keep a static
- 1:47:17Speaker 5: population in place. Why because the DSA is not Democrats,
- 1:47:21Speaker 5: but they are socialists, and the laws throughout the state
- 1:47:25Speaker 5: as a country make it impossible for third parties in
- 1:47:27Speaker 5: most cases to get in the ballots. What they've done
- 1:47:30Speaker 5: effect that is they've taken over the carcass of the
- 1:47:33Speaker 5: dead Democratic Party. They're using that and they're going to
- 1:47:35Speaker 5: elect people around the country and they're going to change
- 1:47:37Speaker 5: the very nature of the system. That's what he is
- 1:47:40Speaker 5: leading anybody who thinks otherwise is just fooling himself.
- 1:47:43Speaker 3: Oh, you hundred percent right. And the old Democrats they're
- 1:47:47Speaker 3: just following along because they're scared to death. Whether it's
- 1:47:50Speaker 3: Chuck Schulm, I mean, Schuman was twenty years ago. He
- 1:47:53Speaker 3: really was, and he's a waste. He's a waste at
- 1:47:56Speaker 3: this point. He's embarrassing himself. And then you get the governor.
- 1:47:59Speaker 3: I mean, she's got to be Kidney. You know, the
- 1:48:01Speaker 3: long on the railroad is on strike. She's blaming Trump,
- 1:48:04Speaker 3: she's blaming Blakeman, she's blaming sid Wait a second, she
- 1:48:07Speaker 3: found eight billion dollars for illegals, for illegals, she found
- 1:48:11Speaker 3: eight billion dollars in the next two years to give
- 1:48:13Speaker 3: mom Donnie, But you can't figure out a way to
- 1:48:15Speaker 3: get people to work from Long Island. What does she
- 1:48:16Speaker 3: think she's kidding?
- 1:48:18Speaker 5: You know, the Kathy Huckle tragedy here is that the
- 1:48:20Speaker 5: MTA belongs to her as the governor, and somebody did
- 1:48:23Speaker 5: an examination of patron shops in that agency versus people
- 1:48:26Speaker 5: who are supposed to get things done, and how this
- 1:48:29Speaker 5: could have gone on at this level for this long
- 1:48:31Speaker 5: without gubernatorial intervention to get a contract on this beyond me.
- 1:48:35Speaker 5: But that's that's for another day. I mean, the real
- 1:48:37Speaker 5: question now is what will happen to the City of
- 1:48:39Speaker 5: New York over the next three years. You're going to
- 1:48:42Speaker 5: have a continued out movement of businesses. Why because it
- 1:48:46Speaker 5: tends to happen when you have a fiscal crisis. When
- 1:48:48Speaker 5: I represent a lot of In part of my work,
- 1:48:51Speaker 5: I work for an awful lot of public affal lot
- 1:48:53Speaker 5: of unions, both public and private sector, and I predicted
- 1:48:56Speaker 5: with my union clients a year ago that the budget
- 1:48:59Speaker 5: number would be budget hole would be about twelve billion.
- 1:49:01Speaker 5: So what you heard the other day was the mayor
- 1:49:03Speaker 5: finally admitting it after saying was five four or six. No,
- 1:49:06Speaker 5: it's a twelve billion dollar problem. How is it going
- 1:49:09Speaker 5: to get closed? You can't expand government and close it,
- 1:49:11Speaker 5: and you can't threaten to cut public employee pension payments.
- 1:49:14Speaker 5: That's that's just not going to go. So this is
- 1:49:17Speaker 5: the great moment. Can this democratic socialist run this city
- 1:49:21Speaker 5: in the way he thinks it ought to be run,
- 1:49:22Speaker 5: which creates a national movement and uses the resources available
- 1:49:26Speaker 5: here to make that happen, or will we have a
- 1:49:29Speaker 5: disaster of sorts? That is the great moment and can
- 1:49:33Speaker 5: he prevent that? Not sure, but that's where we are.
- 1:49:36Speaker 3: He's moving towards it's he's it's going to be the latter.
- 1:49:40Speaker 3: So in the final sixty seconds, whether you're Red Cox
- 1:49:43Speaker 3: or Age, I don't know who's in charge of the Publican
- 1:49:44Speaker 3: Party in New York. And I've kind of, you know,
- 1:49:46Speaker 3: choked around about running because people want me to run.
- 1:49:49Speaker 3: But you know, whether Curtis is told h about doing
- 1:49:51Speaker 3: it again, which is beyond ridiculous. He's embarrassed himself, not once,
- 1:49:55Speaker 3: but twice fourteen percent, seven percent. You got to stop,
- 1:49:59Speaker 3: you know, John Shaw talking about wanting I think eventually
- 1:50:02Speaker 3: Jessica Tish may jump in, maybe Julie Menning, I don't know.
- 1:50:05Speaker 3: But the point is, if you're going to beat this guy,
- 1:50:08Speaker 3: even if he does run the city into the ground,
- 1:50:10Speaker 3: you've got to have a couple of people out there
- 1:50:12Speaker 3: that are worthy and that people are going to trust
- 1:50:15Speaker 3: and like. And the Republican Party in this state, Hank
- 1:50:18Speaker 3: has not done that, not at the mayor level. You know, Leezlden.
- 1:50:22Speaker 3: We're in a very good governor's race Andrew Giuliani, but
- 1:50:25Speaker 3: we lost one. Are the powers that be in the
- 1:50:27Speaker 3: Republican Party, Hank here in New York going to figure
- 1:50:30Speaker 3: out they got to find some real good people to
- 1:50:33Speaker 3: run these races.
- 1:50:34Speaker 5: Well, that's part of it. They got to find some
- 1:50:36Speaker 5: real good people. But the other thing they have to
- 1:50:38Speaker 5: do is build a party. They don't have one. The
- 1:50:42Speaker 5: history of the Republican Party in New York is an
- 1:50:44Speaker 5: interesting one. If you look at city candidates who won,
- 1:50:47Speaker 5: they won with the Liberal party line. There is no
- 1:50:48Speaker 5: more liberal party. There is no place for people to say, well,
- 1:50:51Speaker 5: I don't like Republicans, but I'll vote on this line.
- 1:50:54Speaker 5: To get them there, you have to create a new
- 1:50:55Speaker 5: third party of some kind, and you've got to create
- 1:50:57Speaker 5: a new Republican Party. That is the fortunately having to
- 1:51:00Speaker 5: like the present leadership, but that is more like what
- 1:51:03Speaker 5: Joe Cairo, the Republican County chair, is on a Nasau County,
- 1:51:06Speaker 5: which is to put some fire into it, and Jesse
- 1:51:09Speaker 5: Garcia has done in Saffi County, which is to put
- 1:51:11Speaker 5: some fire into it, into organize. We don't have that
- 1:51:14Speaker 5: in New York City. And the end result is we
- 1:51:16Speaker 5: have Zarmandami and we're going to have more of it,
- 1:51:18Speaker 5: and we're going to have more people leaving, and we're
- 1:51:20Speaker 5: gonna have a class of people. I'm not talking about
- 1:51:23Speaker 5: in the minority community. I'm talking about in the non
- 1:51:25Speaker 5: minority community who somehow believe that there is a great
- 1:51:28Speaker 5: tragedy placed upon others that they have to correct while
- 1:51:31Speaker 5: destroying the city's economy. At the same time. That is
- 1:51:35Speaker 5: a disaster waiting to happen, and it will be unfortunate
- 1:51:37Speaker 5: and for New York.
- 1:51:38Speaker 3: I love.
- 1:51:39Speaker 5: I said this in the Waltrea Journal. I think last
- 1:51:40Speaker 5: summer that our time is over. Question is can we
- 1:51:44Speaker 5: save enough of it for the next generation? And that
- 1:51:46Speaker 5: is that we face as we're talking about people who
- 1:51:49Speaker 5: have never put a callus on their hands, never had
- 1:51:51Speaker 5: a tough day, and have no idea what it really
- 1:51:53Speaker 5: means to struggle. The New York that I grew up
- 1:51:55Speaker 5: in was a place where people strived and struggled. I
- 1:51:57Speaker 5: come from a blue collar world. That world is being
- 1:52:00Speaker 5: destroyed and evaporated and for purposefulness. And the new blue
- 1:52:04Speaker 5: collar class is probably the Chinese. And they're the ones
- 1:52:06Speaker 5: they're gonna have to coming to New York and they're
- 1:52:08Speaker 5: the ones they're gonna have to strape this ad and
- 1:52:09Speaker 5: other immigrants. And if they don't revolt. The city will
- 1:52:13Speaker 5: turn into who knows what, He'll be diminished in population,
- 1:52:16Speaker 5: it will be a it will be the requirement will
- 1:52:19Speaker 5: be that if he's supported by the federal government in
- 1:52:21Speaker 5: order for it to survive.
- 1:52:23Speaker 3: What a mess boy. I gotta tell you, Hank, you
- 1:52:25Speaker 3: will You are great. I appreciate this this morning. What
- 1:52:28Speaker 3: do you hope you keep coming back because your perspective

- 1:53:57Speaker 3: I gotta say, he was very sweet. Met game against
- 1:54:00Speaker 3: the Yanks was the only game the Yankees won. The
- 1:54:03Speaker 3: Mets came back and they won Saturday, and came back
- 1:54:05Speaker 3: in dramatic passion to win Sunday. And it was a
- 1:54:08Speaker 3: great time in the box. On Friday night, Bill O'Reilly
- 1:54:10Speaker 3: took us. He was there and my son Gabriel, and
- 1:54:13Speaker 3: again Steve was terrific, and mister and missus Met came
- 1:54:16Speaker 3: up to say hello. So we put that thing to
- 1:54:18Speaker 3: bed the home. I'm Donny hug So it was a
- 1:54:21Speaker 3: very nice time and Steve Cohen went out of his
- 1:54:23Speaker 3: way to be nice and we appreciate that. And then
- 1:54:25Speaker 3: yesterday I made my way, as I mentioned earlier, to
- 1:54:28Speaker 3: the Ubs Arena, the home of Louis New York Islanders,
- 1:54:32Speaker 3: and watched Jerusalem take on Tel Aviv in the annual
- 1:54:37Speaker 3: Israeli Elite Hockey League game. They have a league in Israel.
- 1:54:40Speaker 3: There's eight teams. They start in June, so they played
- 1:54:44Speaker 3: this game the last two years on Long Island before
- 1:54:47Speaker 3: the season starts back in Israel. A lot of Jewish
- 1:54:49Speaker 3: people showed up, men Christians, was very very nice. Bruce
- 1:54:52Speaker 3: Blakeman was there, Bozzi Pillop, my friend Gabriel Boxer did
- 1:54:56Speaker 3: a great job, and LORDI wil and Alison Devlin and
- 1:55:00Speaker 3: a whole bunch of very very cool people were there yesterday.
- 1:55:03Speaker 3: Who you know what's funny. Tel Aviv was killing them
- 1:55:06Speaker 3: the whole game, killing them. It was five to two
- 1:55:09Speaker 3: ruling the third period and Jerusalem scored four unanswered.
- 1:55:13Speaker 9: Oh no, could I had tel Aviv?
- 1:55:15Speaker 5: Shit?
- 1:55:15Speaker 3: Yeah, you lost, you lost?
- 1:55:17Speaker 10: I know, well they played that swarming defense.
- 1:55:21Speaker 3: It's just funny. Looking at the Jerseys Levy, you know, Schwartz.
- 1:55:26Speaker 3: You just don't see that on the National Golden Baum.
- 1:55:32Speaker 3: They can play, they can skate, and there was a
- 1:55:34Speaker 3: very exciting game. My buddy, doctor John Pittash was there
- 1:55:37Speaker 3: with his beautiful family or three of his children. They're
- 1:55:40Speaker 3: great kids, so it's nice to see Potash. And I
- 1:55:43Speaker 3: actually also saw Rachel Hamra, the lovely wife of Abraham Hamra.
- 1:55:48Speaker 3: He was in Canada, but she was there with about
- 1:55:50Speaker 3: seven kids. It was very, very nice. It really was.
- 1:55:53Speaker 3: Now tomorrow night, I've got the annual Turett Cohanim dinner.
- 1:55:57Speaker 3: This is Dove and Shorty Hiken and Shanni and Dove
- 1:56:01Speaker 3: have this organization where they buy land from the Arabs
- 1:56:07Speaker 3: in Juday and Samaria, which the guy him of course
- 1:56:09Speaker 3: called the West Bank, and they sell it back to Israel.
- 1:56:12Speaker 3: He's because we're so outnumbered there, you know. We want
- 1:56:14Speaker 3: to get Jewish people back living in Juday and Samaria,
- 1:56:17Speaker 3: and they do a great job. It's a wonderful dinner
- 1:56:20Speaker 3: at a very swanky place in Hewlett. That's tomorrow night now.
- 1:56:24Speaker 3: Then I've got the MGE Experience next Wednesday, the twenty
- 1:56:27Speaker 3: seventh Manhattan Jewish experience. They're honoring me that night, and
- 1:56:31Speaker 3: a whole bunch of people they're honoring that night. Who
- 1:56:34Speaker 3: else is going to be there? Bruce Pearl, the great
- 1:56:37Speaker 3: college basketball coach out of Auburn, He's being honored. And Morian,
- 1:56:43Speaker 3: my friend from Australia, Aaron Morin, She's being honored that night.
- 1:56:46Speaker 3: So that's going to be great. And then all the
- 1:56:48Speaker 3: way to Monday, June the first, I'm going to be
- 1:56:51Speaker 3: speaking at the annual New York Conference for the Jerusalem Post.
- 1:56:57Speaker 3: They're making a big deal about that too, So I
- 1:56:59Speaker 3: got a lot going on, I know me.
- 1:57:00Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think you're gonna have to grow pay.
- 1:57:02Speaker 3: Us with all those Yeah, a lot of Jewish stuff. Yeah,
- 1:57:10Speaker 3: that's the way it went. And you know, like they're
- 1:57:11Speaker 3: playing Havana Gillard during the breaks, so you can't make
- 1:57:14Speaker 3: it up. I've never been to a hockey game where
- 1:57:17Speaker 3: before the national anthem they sang hot tigball. How great
- 1:57:20Speaker 3: is that? That's great?
- 1:57:22Speaker 21: And the good thing is each time they guys lost
- 1:57:25Speaker 21: their teeth, there were lots of dentists in the crowd.
- 1:57:27Speaker 3: They were able to put it back in.
- 1:57:30Speaker 28: You know.
- 1:57:30Speaker 3: Gay Boxer told me, I didn't know this that the
- 1:57:32Speaker 3: decie John d. Decki is a great guy owns the Islanders,
- 1:57:35Speaker 3: and you would know this though. I's got their games
- 1:57:36Speaker 3: during the regular season. They've got a whole section of
- 1:57:40Speaker 3: kosher food.
- 1:57:41Speaker 10: Yes, I've heard.
- 1:57:42Speaker 3: Yeah, they must have a very big Jewish clientele, a
- 1:57:45Speaker 3: whole I think City Field has that too. Cohen and
- 1:57:48Speaker 3: the Mets they don't have jewishrutage, not yet. They're gonna
- 1:57:50Speaker 3: bring it back. I oh man, I twice I told Colhen,
- 1:57:54Speaker 3: bring it back, Steve. I don't care what you did
- 1:57:56Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three, that was before October seventh. Bring
- 1:57:59Speaker 3: it back. Okay, okay, we'll talk.
- 1:58:02Speaker 28: Uh.
- 1:58:02Speaker 3: But in the in the arena, you'll be a s arena.
- 1:58:05Speaker 3: They do cater to the Jewish people. It must have
- 1:58:07Speaker 3: a lot of Jewish bands there.
- 1:58:08Speaker 10: Just imagine goal scored.
- 1:58:14Speaker 3: That's what they were doing. It was hilarious. I loved it.
- 1:58:17Speaker 3: It was great. Nine thousand cute little kids with their
- 1:58:20Speaker 3: yamaka is on and citsus and hey, I'll tell you this,
- 1:58:25Speaker 3: you don't have to worry about getting robbed in the
- 1:58:26Speaker 3: parking lot. I can tell you that much. Say what
- 1:58:29Speaker 3: you want. You weren't gonna get robbed in the parking
- 1:58:31Speaker 3: lot or hit over the head with a baseball batch
- 1:58:33Speaker 3: on and make it to your car. Don't have to
- 1:58:34Speaker 3: worry about that.
- 1:58:35Speaker 9: In fact, you probably left with stock tips.
- 1:58:40Speaker 3: You're not covering the point with a nice quest conference
- 1:58:51Speaker 3: before the game, Johnny Daniels was there, and again Bruce
- 1:58:54Speaker 3: Blakeman spoke, and I spoke, and A. J. Edelman, who
- 1:58:58Speaker 3: was the captain of the Bob sled team is really
- 1:59:00Speaker 3: oppsolet team in Italy a couple of months ago. It
- 1:59:02Speaker 3: was really great. So congratulations to the Israel Elite Hockey League.
- 1:59:07Speaker 3: Gonna plan on going to a game when I go
- 1:59:09Speaker 3: to Israel next month. Because the season does start, I
- 1:59:11Speaker 3: believe on June the first. I will take a short break.
- 1:59:14Speaker 3: The Preakness was this weekend, and of course Golden Temple,
- 1:59:18Speaker 3: who won the Kentucky derby my dear friend Vinnie Viola's
- 1:59:21Speaker 3: horse trained by Shorey, did not run. They will run
- 1:59:25Speaker 3: that horse at the Belmont and Saratoga in two weeks.
- 1:59:27Speaker 3: But he did not run the Preakness, so the win
- 1:59:30Speaker 3: went to Napoleon Solo. I liked Iron Honor. It came
- 1:59:33Speaker 3: in second, almost one, but the wind went to Napoleon
- 1:59:36Speaker 3: Solo paid about eighteen dollars. We'll talk to Wyatt. I
- 1:59:39Speaker 3: miss No one knows more about horses.
- 1:59:42Speaker 10: Than which one Napoleon Solo from the movie.
- 1:59:46Speaker 3: Well, it was a TV show, okay, right? But was
- 1:59:49Speaker 3: that it Man from Uncle? Man from Uncle?
- 1:59:52Speaker 20: I'm pretty sure that's for That's the only place I've
- 1:59:54Speaker 20: heard Napoleon Solo.
- 1:59:56Speaker 3: No kidding.
- 1:59:57Speaker 10: Yeah, Robert Vaughan, Robert Vaughn Carter, Yes, and David mc McCullum, McCallum, McCullum.
- 2:00:04Speaker 3: They were.
- 2:00:06Speaker 10: US spies, I believe. But it was in nineteen sixties
- 2:00:10Speaker 10: Secret Agent show.
- 2:00:11Speaker 3: Oh wow, I know about the show. I had no
- 2:00:14Speaker 3: idea that was Man from Uncle.
- 2:00:16Speaker 10: And one of them was Napoleon Solo.
- 2:00:18Speaker 3: There you go. Your girlfriend asked me who was going
- 2:00:20Speaker 3: to win the race on Saturday. Yeah she was, Oh god,
- 2:00:23Speaker 3: I gave her iron Horse. He came in second.
- 2:00:25Speaker 10: Well, I don't know what she I forgot who she picked?
- 2:00:27Speaker 3: Did she take Napoleon Solar? She gets the.
- 2:00:29Speaker 10: Newspapers out, she gets nuts.
- 2:00:30Speaker 27: I know.
- 2:00:31Speaker 3: Well, you remember years and years ago when Amos used
- 2:00:36Speaker 3: to bring in the the guys from the like the
- 2:00:39Speaker 3: OTB guy.
- 2:00:40Speaker 9: Hebr those guys.
- 2:00:41Speaker 3: Yeah, like the thoroughbart office says, you know, And they
- 2:00:44Speaker 3: gave him a certain amount of money to wager with,
- 2:00:47Speaker 3: and they said, if you win, you could take that
- 2:00:49Speaker 3: money and put it towards the ranch. So at the time,
- 2:00:52Speaker 3: you had a guy named Jody McDonald at the station
- 2:00:54Speaker 3: who did a horse show. They called him Mac at
- 2:00:57Speaker 3: the track. Oh, I forgot about in Philadelphia. Yeah, but
- 2:01:00Speaker 3: he went to me, I miss, I don't know why.
- 2:01:02Speaker 3: I knew nothing about horses too, don't know much. He
- 2:01:05Speaker 3: went to me, and I said, I don't know why, man,
- 2:01:07Speaker 3: but for some reason, I like war emblem, War emblem,
- 2:01:09Speaker 3: Warmbler and the damn Wars one. I don't know how
- 2:01:14Speaker 3: much I'm is collected a couple one hundred thousand whenever
- 2:01:16Speaker 3: it was to put towards the ranch. But I actually
- 2:01:18Speaker 3: gave him the winner. Jody Mack looks to take credit
- 2:01:21Speaker 3: for that to this day. But I was the one
- 2:01:22Speaker 3: I gave I miss war emblem. Mind you, I have
- 2:01:24Speaker 3: not picked a Kentucky w winner since I was about
- 2:01:27Speaker 3: twenty five years ago. But the iman certainly made off
- 2:01:31Speaker 3: like a bandit that day. So take a break and
- 2:01:32Speaker 3: talk to his kid. Twenty seven year old Wyatt I
- 2:01:35Speaker 3: Miss makes his second visit to Sitting Friends in the
- 2:01:38Speaker 3: Morning from somewhere in Texas.
- 2:01:41Speaker 29: SID and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 2:01:45Speaker 29: Podcast Network.
- 2:01:48Speaker 1: Sid and Friends.
- 2:01:49Speaker 29: In the Morning entertaining and informative on the Red Apple
- 2:01:53Speaker 29: Podcast Network.
- 2:01:57Speaker 3: Talking about horses. Nobody knows more about him, I don't
- 2:01:59Speaker 3: think and Wyatt he was raised on him. And whyet
- 2:02:02Speaker 3: I miss now shows horses. He text them all over
- 2:02:06Speaker 3: the country. I know Boat Needle has already invested many
- 2:02:10Speaker 3: many others and in fact Bo's horse I believe one
- 2:02:13Speaker 3: recently it's pretty good, So both are already collected, I
- 2:02:17Speaker 3: should say on this investment. And when Wyatt was a
- 2:02:21Speaker 3: little kid, his late father Don, who we know very well,
- 2:02:25Speaker 3: this was his dream. He thought one day that they
- 2:02:27Speaker 3: can show horses all over the country and all over
- 2:02:30Speaker 3: the world and make money doing it. And Don of
- 2:02:33Speaker 3: course passed away before the dream was realized. But it's happening,
- 2:02:38Speaker 3: and it's happening because of the hard work of his
- 2:02:40Speaker 3: little boy, who's now a big boy. Wyt Whyatt, Welcome
- 2:02:44Speaker 3: back to Sitting Friends in the Morning.
- 2:02:45Speaker 31: Brother Hawaii, good morning, Thank you for having me back.
- 2:02:48Speaker 3: Tell me about these before you get the conversation going.
- 2:02:53Speaker 3: My business guy John Tarrett did this story this morning.
- 2:02:56Speaker 3: I thought he was kidding, but he wasn't. What is
- 2:02:58Speaker 3: going on with these screw you guys nervous about that
- 2:03:01Speaker 3: in Texas?
- 2:03:02Speaker 31: Well, I'll tell you what it's done, more than anything
- 2:03:04Speaker 31: is all these events we have, these roping events and
- 2:03:08Speaker 31: futurities for young horses and rodeos and everything, they require
- 2:03:12Speaker 31: cattle because you have to have something to rope, and
- 2:03:14Speaker 31: the best cattle all these years that we rope came
- 2:03:18Speaker 31: from Mexico. They were Mexican Corriente cattle native to Mexico. Well,
- 2:03:24Speaker 31: when this screw worm outbreak came about a couple of
- 2:03:27Speaker 31: years ago, now they shut the border down to all.
- 2:03:32Speaker 31: It's all livestock, so no no cattle can cross. So
- 2:03:35Speaker 31: what it's done more than anything is it's driven the
- 2:03:39Speaker 31: price of cattle that are native to the states up astronomically.
- 2:03:44Speaker 31: So people buying cattle and steers for all these big events,
- 2:03:48Speaker 31: they're having to give double the money and what they
- 2:03:50Speaker 31: had to give a few years ago. There's a lot
- 2:03:54Speaker 31: of guys down there on the border who they cross
- 2:03:58Speaker 31: cattle as the primary course of income. It's a it's
- 2:04:01Speaker 31: a huge, huge market. You know, one of a good
- 2:04:04Speaker 31: friend of mine is Martin Wall. He actually when Trump
- 2:04:08Speaker 31: when Trump went down during his first term and did
- 2:04:12Speaker 31: like that YouTube documentary like the Border Wars. He interviewed, Uh,
- 2:04:17Speaker 31: he didn't hit somebody interview my great friend Martin Wall.
- 2:04:21Speaker 31: And Martine talked about all the all the issues that
- 2:04:25Speaker 31: were going on with all the illegals crossing and then
- 2:04:27Speaker 31: the screwworm outbreak and everything else, and how it affected
- 2:04:30Speaker 31: his business and his ranch. And you know, Martine, he
- 2:04:33Speaker 31: was doing so well. He owns an imsh ranch horse.
- 2:04:37Speaker 31: So it's a huge market for a lot of people,
- 2:04:39Speaker 31: and it's affecting the industry here with cattle greatly.
- 2:04:44Speaker 3: Wow, how about that. See it's interesting that they wouldn't
- 2:04:47Speaker 3: let the cattle a cross. But the terrists are okay.
- 2:04:50Speaker 31: Yeah, they let people across the bombs not right right
- 2:04:54Speaker 31: based and murderers and terrorists you can come, but not
- 2:04:56Speaker 31: the cattle.
- 2:04:57Speaker 3: So what he does make a difference down there, So
- 2:04:59Speaker 3: again we we Uh. I just mentioned the fact that
- 2:05:01Speaker 3: Bodedle has already collected on his investment. I put the
- 2:05:05Speaker 3: word out there to a bunch of other folks, including
- 2:05:06Speaker 3: Vinni Viola who owns a horse Callden Temple that won
- 2:05:09Speaker 3: the Kentucky Derby. And I know this thing is kind
- 2:05:12Speaker 3: of just getting started, been a couple of years, Wyatt,
- 2:05:15Speaker 3: but it hasn't really hit the popular outy you think
- 2:05:18Speaker 3: it's going to hit. So where are you exactly what
- 2:05:21Speaker 3: stage are you in this show horse field?
- 2:05:25Speaker 31: Well, it's building so much, you know, like it hasn't
- 2:05:27Speaker 31: hit the popularity yet, just because you know, I think
- 2:05:30Speaker 31: Yellowstone helped it a lot. But they're starting to pay
- 2:05:34Speaker 31: out big money. So like, for example, the horse that
- 2:05:37Speaker 31: won the Preakness, right, he wins one point two million dollars, Well,
- 2:05:41Speaker 31: we got a big event coming up here called the
- 2:05:43Speaker 31: Old West Horse Show in tiber City, Utah, and that's
- 2:05:48Speaker 31: going to pay out one point seven million dollars wow
- 2:05:52Speaker 31: to the winner. So you'll have a you can have
- 2:05:54Speaker 31: a prekiss horse, you know that runs in the Preakness
- 2:05:57Speaker 31: and wins it and you win one point two million,
- 2:05:59Speaker 31: Or you can have get a horse that's that's a
- 2:06:02Speaker 31: real force in the Western performance horse industry and you
- 2:06:05Speaker 31: can win one point seven million and it won't you know,
- 2:06:08Speaker 31: it won't cost you probably nearly as much to get
- 2:06:11Speaker 31: into it the I don't know if you saw or not,
- 2:06:14Speaker 31: but a few weeks ago, I guess been about a
- 2:06:17Speaker 31: little over a month ago. Now, one of Bob Bafford,
- 2:06:19Speaker 31: the Great Bob Baffert, legendary thoroughbred horse trainers, one of
- 2:06:23Speaker 31: his guys gave ten and a half million dollars for
- 2:06:26Speaker 31: a two year old at the big sale down there,
- 2:06:31Speaker 31: the Thoroughbred horse. So, I mean, you know, that horse
- 2:06:33Speaker 31: could win the Derby, the Preakness, and the Bellmont, win
- 2:06:36Speaker 31: the Triple Crown, and he wouldn't win enough to cover
- 2:06:40Speaker 31: what he costs. So I think the economics of what
- 2:06:43Speaker 31: we're doing is really cool. And again, I mean the
- 2:06:46Speaker 31: Western way of life to some people is great. I mean,
- 2:06:48Speaker 31: you saw how Yellowstone took off, so there's a lot
- 2:06:51Speaker 31: of upsides, and I think the trajectory is just.
- 2:06:54Speaker 3: Just on its way up still because you know Yellowstone. Look,
- 2:06:58Speaker 3: I got into it a couple of years ago. My wife, Danielle,
- 2:07:00Speaker 3: my beautiful wife, and I we watched. We loved it,
- 2:07:02Speaker 3: you know, because I liked the daughter a lot. I
- 2:07:04Speaker 3: like cause she's funny and she's tough. She'll kick anybody's ass.
- 2:07:08Speaker 3: But like I told you last time, you were on.
- 2:07:10Speaker 3: My interest pretty much went away when Kevin Kostner was
- 2:07:14Speaker 3: off the show. I know it's still on, I guess,
- 2:07:16Speaker 3: and it still has decent viewership, but it can't be
- 2:07:18Speaker 3: the same since Kevin left. So is it still that
- 2:07:22Speaker 3: whole Western culture, that whole cowboy thing. Is it still
- 2:07:26Speaker 3: popular or did it lose some of it with the
- 2:07:28Speaker 3: last couple of years.
- 2:07:29Speaker 31: I think the Yellowstone Show lost viewership obviously, and then
- 2:07:33Speaker 31: they ended it of course last year. But the people
- 2:07:37Speaker 31: that got in as a result of Yellowstone, they got
- 2:07:39Speaker 31: into the horses and the Western culture and all that stuff,
- 2:07:42Speaker 31: and then they realized there was something here. So, you know,
- 2:07:45Speaker 31: just because just as Kevin Costner wasn't on anymore, he
- 2:07:48Speaker 31: might have been what got him in in that show.
- 2:07:50Speaker 31: But once they got here and realized all the opportunities
- 2:07:53Speaker 31: and the way of life and how cool it can
- 2:07:56Speaker 31: be to be a part of it. I mean there's
- 2:07:58Speaker 31: people who who stayed, you know. I mean, look at
- 2:08:01Speaker 31: look at both Bo's in now. His horse is doing great.
- 2:08:04Speaker 31: I have another guy that came from thoroughbred horse racing.
- 2:08:07Speaker 31: He has a horse, he's doing great. You know, just
- 2:08:11Speaker 31: keep small walks of life coming in and loving it
- 2:08:14Speaker 31: and enjoying it and watching it take off. So I mean,
- 2:08:17Speaker 31: you know, Taylor shared in Yellow Yellowstone helped tremendously because
- 2:08:22Speaker 31: he was able to get have a really far reach
- 2:08:25Speaker 31: and telling people in. But yeah, I mean once people
- 2:08:27Speaker 31: are in, they've it's fun and they stay in and
- 2:08:29Speaker 31: really enjoy it.
- 2:08:30Speaker 3: I love it, So I'm interested. You know, you, as
- 2:08:32Speaker 3: a little boy had both, right. I mean, your dad
- 2:08:36Speaker 3: had the cowboy hat, had the gun. What you did
- 2:08:38Speaker 3: pull on me more than once. He had the whole
- 2:08:41Speaker 3: thing going on. But you also spend time in New
- 2:08:44Speaker 3: York City, right. You had a house in Westport, Connecticut.
- 2:08:46Speaker 3: You had the apartment in Central Park. So he was
- 2:08:49Speaker 3: kind of both, right, He was kind of like a
- 2:08:51Speaker 3: cowboy in New York City. And I know you've taken
- 2:08:55Speaker 3: on this life and you love it. And your mom, Deirdre,
- 2:08:57Speaker 3: I speak to you every now and then. She's so
- 2:08:59Speaker 3: proud of you. But is there a part of you
- 2:09:01Speaker 3: Wyatt that wants to be New York City or you
- 2:09:04Speaker 3: one thousand percent contempt with the cowboy lifestyle?
- 2:09:09Speaker 31: Well, I think that's what makes my situation so new
- 2:09:13Speaker 31: yeak and so unique, is I was born in New
- 2:09:15Speaker 31: York hospital. So I mean part of me. I was
- 2:09:17Speaker 31: raised there my whole life. Obviously, my dad was on
- 2:09:20Speaker 31: this very station we're talking on right now for years,
- 2:09:23Speaker 31: and you know, So I mean, I am a huge
- 2:09:27Speaker 31: part of me's New York. And I mean, I don't
- 2:09:29Speaker 31: feel like if I had any if I didn't have
- 2:09:30Speaker 31: any New York left in me, i'd be able to,
- 2:09:32Speaker 31: you know, have a good conversation with you a couple
- 2:09:34Speaker 31: of weeks ago or now. So I always want to
- 2:09:37Speaker 31: keep those roots and be connected to those people. And
- 2:09:40Speaker 31: you know, it was such a wonderful childhood. And obviously
- 2:09:44Speaker 31: you know my dad did it for years and you know,
- 2:09:47Speaker 31: gave you the roadmap for what you're doing.
- 2:09:50Speaker 3: No, he did. Listen, I give you a father a
- 2:09:52Speaker 3: whole bunch of credit. Despite what Rob baldertn others tell
- 2:09:54Speaker 3: your mother, Okay, the rest of these guys, I'm always saying,
- 2:09:59Speaker 3: the person that had the most influence on me, and
- 2:10:02Speaker 3: it's not even close. Look, I was around Mike and
- 2:10:05Speaker 3: the Mad Dog, and I even worked with Howard Stern
- 2:10:07Speaker 3: a little bit and other great people, not even close.
- 2:10:10Speaker 3: Your father, far and away had the biggest influence on me.
- 2:10:14Speaker 3: And I'm happy to say that, But I always said,
- 2:10:17Speaker 3: is about your daughter. So you're a New York guy.
- 2:10:19Speaker 3: But the one thing about your father was, for some reason,
- 2:10:21Speaker 3: he never liked the New York teams. Never. Never. He
- 2:10:24Speaker 3: wasn't really a jet band, He wasn't really a Giant band.
- 2:10:26Speaker 3: He wasn't really a meta a Yankee fan. He did
- 2:10:29Speaker 3: boast about partying with the Islanders once with the Stanley Cup.
- 2:10:32Speaker 3: But he was funny because whoever won that day, that
- 2:10:35Speaker 3: was who your father liked. Like he liked the Patriots
- 2:10:37Speaker 3: when they're winning Super Bowls. He liked the Lakers when
- 2:10:39Speaker 3: they were winning championships, right right, Well, look.
- 2:10:43Speaker 31: He liked a winner, right, everybody likes the winner, right,
- 2:10:46Speaker 31: like Rick and Bobby and talladeg Nite says, you got
- 2:10:48Speaker 31: to win to get lot, that's right. So here's the deal. Yes,
- 2:10:51Speaker 31: we were New England Patriots fans, and they happened to
- 2:10:53Speaker 31: have won six Super Bowls in the time we were fans, right,
- 2:10:57Speaker 31: But he was a fan when they had Drew Bledstone
- 2:11:01Speaker 31: limping out there going five and eleven, good job. And
- 2:11:04Speaker 31: then I was a fan when we were losing every
- 2:11:07Speaker 31: game with Mac Jones. Yeah really, oh yeah, he stuck
- 2:11:11Speaker 31: with me I love the Patriots. You know, I think
- 2:11:15Speaker 31: our coach needs to calm down and quit booking cruises
- 2:11:18Speaker 31: with women who are seven months old.
- 2:11:20Speaker 3: On a second, right, let me remind you that the
- 2:11:22Speaker 3: coach that won you US six super Bowls, he's banging
- 2:11:25Speaker 3: a twenty three year old wyan.
- 2:11:28Speaker 31: Well yeah, yeah, I can't defend that very much, but hey,
- 2:11:33Speaker 31: he's a winner and she likes he looks fast.
- 2:11:38Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, no question. It's funny because Mike Rabel
- 2:11:41Speaker 3: is getting such hell in Bowson. But Belichick because he
- 2:11:44Speaker 3: won six Super Bowls with this girlfriend who's not only
- 2:11:47Speaker 3: young but not very bright. You can do what you wants.
- 2:11:50Speaker 3: Coaches at North Carolina. It's all good. So you still
- 2:11:53Speaker 3: follow all those sports teams, even though you spend a
- 2:11:56Speaker 3: lot of your days and nights with the horses on
- 2:11:58Speaker 3: the stable. All that, you're still a pretty rabbit sports fan.
- 2:12:01Speaker 28: I am.
- 2:12:02Speaker 31: I enjoyed. I enjoy the Patriots. I follow him every year.
- 2:12:04Speaker 31: Obviously watched the Super Bowl. I still follow the New
- 2:12:07Speaker 31: York teams. They have so much, so many connections. Uh,
- 2:12:10Speaker 31: you know, I mean the Jets are really hard to follow.
- 2:12:12Speaker 31: I don't think they haven't won anything since Nameth and right,
- 2:12:15Speaker 31: I think name it was older than my dad, which
- 2:12:17Speaker 31: I didn't even know if that was possible. You know,
- 2:12:19Speaker 31: my dad used to say he's so old he watched
- 2:12:21Speaker 31: Moses part to see remember he used to say that
- 2:12:23Speaker 31: yet But yeah, you know I like the Giants. I
- 2:12:26Speaker 31: liked that they got Harbor now. And uh, I'm a
- 2:12:29Speaker 31: big fan of Jackson Dart and I like.
- 2:12:30Speaker 3: His Yeah he's cool, Yeah, he's yeah. Yeah, he's doing
- 2:12:34Speaker 3: some cowboys stuff too. Just you know, he's got that
- 2:12:36Speaker 3: Mississippi look going for him. What do you if I
- 2:12:38Speaker 3: I think i've I've asked you this last time, but
- 2:12:40Speaker 3: I'm not sure it if I did it worth asking again.
- 2:12:43Speaker 3: What do you miss most about your father?
- 2:12:47Speaker 31: Well, you know, he was my best friend. And whether
- 2:12:51Speaker 31: your best friends, your father, your brother, or just somebody
- 2:12:55Speaker 31: you met in wife, losing them is incredibly challenging. And uh,
- 2:13:00Speaker 31: I just missed halfing that person to talk to no
- 2:13:03Speaker 31: matter what. But I'll tell you something about him that
- 2:13:07Speaker 31: really not a lot of people know. I saw the
- 2:13:09Speaker 31: other night he went to the Mets game with mister
- 2:13:11Speaker 31: Cohen and Bill a rally.
- 2:13:13Speaker 3: That's right.
- 2:13:15Speaker 31: So I don't know if you remember o'relly has his
- 2:13:18Speaker 31: show now, right, doesn't he call one of his shows,
- 2:13:20Speaker 31: We'll do It Live?
- 2:13:21Speaker 3: That is his brand new podcast, which I guess that
- 2:13:23Speaker 3: on two weeks ago.
- 2:13:24Speaker 31: Yes, well, I'm glad he can kind of make fun
- 2:13:27Speaker 31: of himself a little bit. But I'll tell you what's great.
- 2:13:29Speaker 31: So years ago, everybody, how you have to have seen
- 2:13:32Speaker 31: when he was on doing an Inside Edition. He had
- 2:13:35Speaker 31: that famous off air meltdown where you know, he's screaming,
- 2:13:38Speaker 31: ef it, we'll do it live, and you know he's
- 2:13:41Speaker 31: throwing papers around. It was fantastic.
- 2:13:42Speaker 3: Oo, that does a good job out of you. Because
- 2:13:44Speaker 3: most people think he did that on The Factor on
- 2:13:46Speaker 3: Fox News, They're wrong. You're right. Inside Edition very good,
- 2:13:49Speaker 3: that edition.
- 2:13:50Speaker 31: In the nineties. Then it came out months later in
- 2:13:52Speaker 31: the in like eight or nine, which around oh, seven
- 2:13:56Speaker 31: oh eight. That's a little time at home. He wasn't
- 2:13:58Speaker 31: working for a little bit.
- 2:13:59Speaker 28: But yeah.
- 2:14:01Speaker 31: Anyway, so we used to watch The O'Reilly Factor at
- 2:14:05Speaker 31: eight o'clock on Fox, and then it would roll into
- 2:14:07Speaker 31: Handed In and we'd watch Handed In. I still talk
- 2:14:10Speaker 31: to Handsy this day. I like it. I like mister
- 2:14:12Speaker 31: Hall part of our It became a ritual in the
- 2:14:16Speaker 31: I'm as household around seven forty five. We would go
- 2:14:21Speaker 31: on YouTube and we'd watch O'Reilly's note Down and we'd
- 2:14:25Speaker 31: be screaming, laughing, and then right about time we got
- 2:14:28Speaker 31: done watching it, we'd roll in and watch the Rally
- 2:14:30Speaker 31: fo That's funny.
- 2:14:31Speaker 3: That was a nightly tradition for you guys.
- 2:14:34Speaker 31: About once a week every night. It gets to be
- 2:14:36Speaker 31: a little much, but we'd do it about once a
- 2:14:38Speaker 31: week on Fridays, Sure, and my dad going there in
- 2:14:41Speaker 31: little living room and we'd watch O'Reilly freak out and
- 2:14:44Speaker 31: then we'd watch the a Rally Factor.
- 2:14:46Speaker 3: I mean, you do realize that for anybody who thought
- 2:14:48Speaker 3: that your household must have been crazy, that you just
- 2:14:51Speaker 3: exponentially moved out up the next sounds like a crazy out.
- 2:14:56Speaker 31: And the best part about it is when when Family
- 2:14:59Speaker 31: Guy the I made the show for adults, they did
- 2:15:02Speaker 31: a recreation of it with Stewie and they had Stewie
- 2:15:04Speaker 31: play o'iley. So we got to the point in the
- 2:15:08Speaker 31: I'ma's Household where we'd switch back and forth. One week
- 2:15:11Speaker 31: we'd watch the real thing, and then one week we'd
- 2:15:13Speaker 31: watch the Family Guy version right before we watch The Factor.
- 2:15:15Speaker 3: I got to play this for Bill, He's on every Thursday.
- 2:15:17Speaker 3: He's gonna love this. It's actually funny. That's cute. Now,
- 2:15:19Speaker 3: you guys had a good time with that. That's good.
- 2:15:21Speaker 3: Bill's gonna appreciate that. Trust me, Stewie and the actual
- 2:15:25Speaker 3: audio from inside edition in the Imus Household before Bill,
- 2:15:29Speaker 3: eight o'clock weeknights on Fox News. So before I let
