  Speaker 1: Let me just update you on a couple of things.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani. The latest is was it was announced overnight
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: that he was in critical addition but stable. He's improving
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a little. In fact, I actually heard the phrase turn
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the corner. He's getting. The main problem, the thing to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: put him in the hospital is a bad case of pneumonia,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: but very stable, and it looks it looks better than
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: it did yesterday. Late last night, word was he was
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: improving a little. It's a slow thing to recover from.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani, of course, the greatest mayor ever in history,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a fighter, a great fighter in anything he does. You
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: can be sure he'll be a great fighter in this
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and I think we'll come through it. So that's the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: latest on that. John Sterling, that was the terrible news
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: this morning. John Sterling has passed away. Of course, a
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: wonderful beloved guy, the Yankee announcer for a lot of years. Actually,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: he got to the Yankees late. It was eighty nine.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I thought he'd been there earlier, but it wasn't until
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine that he got to the New York
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Yankees until twenty four although remember in twenty twenty two
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: he cut down his schedule. He wasn't doing so many
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: away games. He was a lot older than the people
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: thought or realized, but a wonderful, wonderful guy was a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: regular listen to this program. He was a great, great
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: radio host. Before being the Yankee play by play announcer,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: he was a radio sports talk host and was considered
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: maybe the best ever in his day. In the seventies
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and eighties. WMCA years ago was the big talk station
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in New York. And when I got there was the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: early eighties. He was gone by then. I think he
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: had left town actually for a few years, working somewhere else.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But when I got there, only heard about was John
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Sterling Johnston, that he did the best sports talk show ever.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: People were still talking about him years later. And then,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you know, not long ago, maybe it was last year,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: he came back for a little while. On the other station.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: He was doing a weekend talk show, the first time
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I got to hear him really do a radio talk show.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: He was phenomenal. He was really great. He was a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: wonderful guy in real life. There's not a bad thing
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: anybody will ever say about John Sterling, great guy in
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: real life. I knew him pretty well, and he loved
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra. In fact, whenever we got together, there was
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a few minutes of talk about broadcasting stuff, and then
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the whole conversation was Sinatra, and he always had a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: million Sinatra questions. He was the nicest guy. Everybody worked
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: with him loved him. Remember he made the news for
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that fire, and he lived in New Jersey. Was the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: avalon and the fire destroyed the whole place, all the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: whole complex. He lost everything, lost his Emmy's, his World
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Series rings, everything. Now what they don't tell you, World
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Series rings get replaced. It's easy to do. The company
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that makes him bal for will replace them if you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: lose them. I imagine the Emmy people do the same thing.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: You lose your Emmy, they'll replace it for you. There
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: were certain players. In fact, one Yankee legend often considered
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the greatest Yankee. Well, I don't want to mention names,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: but he would go to George Steinberner every couple of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: years and say, my all my rings were stolen. He
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: had a lot of them, and they'd replace all the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: rings for him. And then this happened about every five
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: maybe five times every couple of years. And then the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: George started to realize, nobody has that many breakings and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: robberies in their house. He's just collecting rings, so they
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: cut him off from getting rings replaced. But John Sterling, wonderful,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: wonderful guy was he? Yeah, eighty nine years old, the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: voice of the Yankees for years. Wait a minute, let
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: me see we must have some John Sterling cuts somewhere.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Be honest, he was my second favorite Yankee announcer ever.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: First Phil Rizzuto. It'll always be the scooter Phil Rizzuto,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: But John Sterling in the modern times the best ever.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I swung on at it high in the air to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: deep rite hot ball is high hit as.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Far he has gone. Berdie goes boom, He kills a
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: home run.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: The short way in the right deal. Stats Burn, Baby Burn,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: and the Yankees.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: High the ball game at won. Yeah, it's hard to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: come up with those catchphrases. But he was good.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Well on there it goes to eat right, hit us high,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: hit us far it is gone, hit at the foul bowl,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Curtis Grannison, Is it a three run home run?
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: To go with his two run home run? The grandy
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: man can all the brandy Man can.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: He was a wonderful guy, always beautifully dressed, always a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: suit and tie. John Sterling swings, drills, did it right?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: That ball's hard? Littles far od as gone.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: The Milkman delivers. He hits up bottom of the fourteenth,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: one out, two run, walk off home run. That's the
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Milky Way. Milky Cabrera ends the ball game with a
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: two run bottom of the fourteenth home run.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah away with words. If you ever heard him do
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: it a radio talk show. He was very articulate and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: very knowledgeable on millions of subjects. Could talk about anything.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: He was great at it. And again this is probably
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the most famous phrase.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Ball game over, Yankees win, The.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yankees win. John Sterling, he was a wonderful, wonderful guy.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: IM sorry, sorry to be lost him. Hey you know
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: what we lost? Spirit Airlines. It's gone. Spirit Airlines closes,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: goes out of business. Thousands of people are out of work.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of passengers are
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: stranded all over the place. It's an absolute disaster for
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the airline industry, a disaster for travel. And who caused it, Well,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you got to put some blame on Spirit Airlines, But
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: who caused it? Elizabeth Warren, Merrick Garland, Pete Boodagjetge, Joe Biden.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: They are responsible for this. They wiped out Spirit Airlines.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It was absolutely unnecessary. Spirit Airlines was in a lot
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of trouble business wise for many years. They filed for
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: bankruptcy all the time, and they finally, finally were able
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to solve the problem. JetBlue decided to what they called
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: it a merger, but Jet Blue really was going to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: just buy it. It would be absorbed into Jet Blue.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: That would have solved everything, fixed everything. You might have
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: had some little layoffs, but most of the employees would
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: have stayed, most of the flights would have stayed. It
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: would have been perfect. The passengers would have been taken
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: care of. Why didn't they merge. Why didn't the sale
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: go through? Because the Democrats stopped it, specifically Elizabeth Warren,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: who not just publicly railed against it, but behind the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: scenes so aggressively fought to block that merger. And then
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Pete Boudhajege went crazy trying to stop Jet Blue from
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: taking over Spirit Airlines. And then Merrick Garland got on
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the act, and Joe Biden was all over this. And
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: then Merrick Garland, the very dirty, sleazy Attorney General, he
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and the Justice Department killed the deal. The Justice Department
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: blocked it, stopped it thanks to a lot of push
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: from Buddha Jege, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden. Merrick Garland,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the dirty, awful Attorney General stop it. And that's why
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: all these people are now out of work. That's why
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: all those passengers were stranded suddenly with no way to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: get home. Now, what was the reason, What excuse could
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: they possibly have given? Why wouldn't you want to send
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: those save those jobs. Well, they did argue it was
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: too much monopoly. If they had merged, it would have
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: been maybe nine percent of the market. I would hardly
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: call that a monopoly. They didn't have ninety one percent
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of the market. It was just nine percent of the market.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: It was absolutely ridiculous. Democrats, there's no rhyme or reason
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to what they do. You know, it comes to healthcare, Obamacare,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: they don't mind that. Completely totally owning total dominance of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the market, total monopoly, that they don't mind. So you
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: got to remember, Democrats never follow the science. This is
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: an important thing to remember. Democrats don't believe in science.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: They don't follow the science. And business is a science,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: it really is. If a real businessman, a Donald Trump,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: or a real businessman, a real CEO, had been in charge,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: then he would have looked at the whole deal, the merger.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: He could have check looked at everybody's numbers, books, seen
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: if it was the right thing to do or if
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: it was necessary. But Democrats don't follow the science. You
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: see that all the time. You see that with Mom Donnie.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: It's a great example. His tax policies, his economic policies.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: There's a whole science to running an economy. We know
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: what works, we know it doesn't work. We've got a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: thousand years and a billion examples where we can look
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: at the data. If you do this, it works, the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: economy booms. If you do this it doesn't. It's scientific,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: it's mathematical. You can prove it. You can scientifically test
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it a billion times and you got your results. Democrats
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: don't believe in that. I mean, we've seen any time
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you do socialism, total failure. You could go into detail
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: as to why every time you cut taxes you see
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: an economy boom. You've seeing it right now. You can
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: just look at the science. Look at the Texas, look
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: at Florida, look at Tennessee. Get rid of the taxes
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: or cut them down very low. Every business and billionaire,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: everybody runs to the state. The economy flourishes, everybody thrives,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: everybody of every income level does better. It's a science,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: but Democrats don't believe in the science. They never follow
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the science. You'll see this with Mom Donni. Mam Donnie
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: seems to love tax revenue. Kathy Hokle loves tax revenue.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: This is their big thing. More tax revenue, more tax
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: revenue they can get. Well, if you follow the science
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to do that. You want to get your biggest taxpayers here.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: You want to get the big big taxpayers here. That's
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: how you get tax revenue. They create these unscientific tax
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: policies that drive the billionaires out. They leave. Now you
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: get less tax revenue. It's like there's a science to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: running a restaurant. If you got your biggest customers, the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: ones that spend a fort that come, the regulars that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: come all the time, they're about to order the most
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: expensive everything. Their checks are high, they spend the most
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: money in your restaurant. You take care of them. You
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: do extra things for them. You send them emails, you
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: send them thank you notes, you do special stuff when
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: they come in, You give them special things, you take
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: care of That's how you keep your best customers. You
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: don't give them a hard time. You don't charge them
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: extra and insult them. You don't drive them away. If
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: there's a science to it. But democrats never follow the science.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Do you see that Newark flight. There's a flight coming
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: into Newark Airport and he's coming in kind of low,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: big huge jumbo jet coming in low. In fact, solo
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: knocks down a light pole and then hits a truck.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: The landing gear under the plane goes right through the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: window of the truck. Now, it's an overseas flight from Italy,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: which could mean they give the pilot fatigue. The guy
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: was obviously in the air many many, many many hours.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: They still haven't explained exactly what happened, why the polet
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: would try to come in that low, and they think
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: he didn't realize how much. I guess he knew his height,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: but the landing gear was down and he didn't realize
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: how many feet down that landing gear would go, and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that's how it hit the truck. Pretty scary for the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: truck driver. Tonight is the met Gala, which makes a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: fortune at least to go to that every year. Years ago,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it was a whole different thing. If you go back
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to the nineties, the early two thousands, it was the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: most prestigious, classy, dignified event. It was all the great
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: business names in New York. You'd see all kinds of
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg types taking tables, and you'd see all the great
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: people of New York society, and it was very elegant.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: It was really quite something back then. Well it's a
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: whole different thing to now. It's crazy rap stars, pops stars,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: crazy Instagram influencers. It's the most cheesiest, leaziest, trashiest. But
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I understand why Anna wind Tower did that.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: She had really no choice because if you go back
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to them great days of them at gala, and I
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: list you all the names that were there as I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: think about it, they're all dead. They're all dead or
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: in wheelchairs. They're all gone. So she had to reinvent
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the whole thing and she did pretty smart of her.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And they'll make a fortune. You know, Back in those days,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a ticket was five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, a
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: table was ten thousand and twenty five thousand. Maybe maybe
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: they had a seventy five thousand dollars table if you
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: were a big sponsor one hundred thousand. Well it's all
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: different today. Table prices start at three hundred and fifty thousand.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: A single individual ticket is one hundred thousand. Yeah, so
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: they'll take you. They'll I think they'll take in like
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: thirty million tonight. Now, the big sponsor, obviously he wants
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to be the bell of the ball. He wants to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: be the star of this whole thing. Jeff Bezos has
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: spent ten million to be the co host. He put
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: ten million into this deal. And I guess I think
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you know that wife Lauren Sanchez. I have a feeling
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: she pushed him on this a lot. But he'll be
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the big, big player. Meryl Streep, who plays wind Tower
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: in the Devilwares product, They keep begging her to come.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: She says she will not be there. She's not coming tonight.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: But some of the cast, well we'll talk about the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: movie a little later, but that's tonight. If you're anywhere
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: around the metropolit Museum, it's a traffic nightmare. If you're
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: anywhere around the Stanhope Hotel, the Mark Hotel, the Carlisle,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: that's also a mess because a lot of these people
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: all go there. That's their changing room, that's the kind
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: of the dressing room. They change there into their wacky costume,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and then they head over a block away to the museum.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: So they'll go in nowhere near that area tonight. It's
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: going to be a mess because it's not only all
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: of that, but thousands of people line the streets to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: witness this crazy bunch of people. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
