• 0:41
  Speaker 2: How you doing? Mark?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Very good? So your friend mom Donnie there, did you
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: hear that crazy thing he said.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think that we should have billionaires.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: We shouldn't have billionaires. So what you know, all these billionaires,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: how are they going to get through four years of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: this guy?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. I mean half of me
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: thinks that they're just going to leave and as they've
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: been as not just billionaires. But remember, you know, the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: tax base is comprised of a lot of people that
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: do well not quite billionaires, and they're just finding it
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: much more affordable not to be New York City residents.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And that's been going on since twenty twenty and it
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: continues to stay. So remember or you know, when you
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: talk about billionaires, they do have theoretically the money to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: pay some of these taxes. I mean, they're billionaires, right.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: The real problem here is that's why I'm you know, this,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: this debate is a little bit skewed because the reality
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: of the New York City, what Mondami's doing, what they
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: do in Albany, and what they've been doing for years,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you know, since mainly since George the Tacki left Albany
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: has been essentially focusing on the sort of the vast
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: middle of the wealthy population, people who make anywhere between
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars a year, which isn't really wealthy
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: in the Northeast anywhere from that to you know, several
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: million dollars a year, that's the sort of prime real
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: estate for taxing. And those people just get crushed in
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: this city and in the state. And what when Dami's
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: doing is kind of changing the subject. Oh, you know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: these billionaires don't want to pay for you know, an
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: extra house in Manhattan. It's not really that. I mean,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you know, that's not great policy, but put that aside.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: The tax. I mean, it's really those people that pay
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: most of taxes are in that range that I told you,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: and they're getting slaughtered in the city and state and
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: they continue to get slaughtered because people like Mandami and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you know, the governors. You know, I mean, listen, Andrew
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Croma would have been a better alternative to my doctor.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Don't know. Oh oh, come on, well, no bail, no jail.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: With his he's the guy that count He's the guy
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that created this piere terror tax. It was his idea. Listen.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I know that, I know, but he was still would
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: have been better than my doge. But but I'm just
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: saying that, you know, my point is with him is
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that he caved to the radical left of the of
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the of of of the ruling class of the state.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Remember all the taxes that he imposed, particularly the last term,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: he just horrendous. We was money that he needn't he
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: didn't need to increase taxes, and it could could have
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: taken down the side of the government. So you know
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: this the party. The problem is you got one party
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: control of the state and it's it's destroying it. I
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: think we should do. I mean, I argue this during
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the campaign. You know, let him win, let him destroy
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the place and just move. Let's start from zero.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Well, but we don't want to leave. You're not gonna move,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: are you? You can't leave them.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: One foot out the door?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: What you can't believe?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: You're like, I am going to leave? Why should I
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: pay into this? This is insane? But you know what
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I get, I get. I guess there is
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a business in complaining about Monday. I was just reading that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I was I was reading Kyle Uh, Kyle Smith. He's
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: a really good writer. He writes for the National Review.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: He writes for the Journal about just how much Colin
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: inches Monday inspires from critics and people and the lefties
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: who like in the journalism. So there is a sort
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of business for you and I to to tap into.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I think if we stay the loyal opposition. But in reality,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: is it worth the money that you're paying into this?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And and to listen to this idiot every day? I mean,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, schmuck doesn't even begin to describe.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: All Right, Hey, once again, everybody get Charlie Gasprino's book,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Go Woke, Go Broke. It's a great book. Hey, also,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you wrote the best book ever on Steve Cohen years ago.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: He now owns the Mets. You know about this controversy
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: about mister Met hugging and kissing mom Donnie, and since
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that day they've lost eleven in a row. You think
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: maybe you better send that book Go Woke, Go Broke
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: over to mister Met.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what I don't. I mean, I can't
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: imagine Steve Cohen got directly involved in telling mister Met
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to you know, kiss it out with, hug it out with.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: My guess is like it was just an actor who
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: didn't know what to do. And I don't think it
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: has anything to do with the Mets losing.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Well, hey, I met mister Met. You probably did too.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: He shakes your hand, he doesn't hug you and kiss you.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I mean that was a little yeah.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, who knows who is underneath the clothing?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Do you know who this person is?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Probably Steve Cohen? Who knows who was?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: No? Yeah, listen, I I you know listen. I mean
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I read it. I saw I've been reading the commentary
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: on the Met's losing streak after that. You know, could
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: it be possible it was just one over zealous actor
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: who plays mister men.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's possible. But a lot of people our buddy said,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: pointing out a lot of people pointing out.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I I Thowt said, sim Rosemary Glass. I saw his stuff.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: He was wearing a Yankees uniform. And I love the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Yankees too. I mean, you know, you know, you know
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: one thing I will say about the Yankees Randy Levine,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: who is like kind of on the business side of that. Yeah,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: he runs a very very tight ship in sense like
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: you go to the game. It's a game. We don't
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: you cheer the Yankees. There's not a lot of there's
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: no politics, you know, you just go there. I mean,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you know, it's it's a second experience, and I think
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: sports should get back to that. Yeah, you know, you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: no a bad buddies and at halftime and maybe you
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: know alert mister met you know, shake the guy's hand,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: don't up against them.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Hey about it. Charlie Gasprino, you wrote the book on
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Steve Cohen. I think it's called Circle of Friends. And
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: he's a brilliant business guy with the hedge funnel that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: But is he in over his head as a sports owner?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, what's going on with him in the Mets?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, you know, it's listen, it's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: it's not easy getting a you know, running a baseball team.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: It's you know, it's two sides of the coin. It's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the business side and it's putting a team on the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: field that can win. And uh, you know, I don't
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: how much has he involved in the in the selecting players.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Doesn't he have people around him that to do that?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I mean you would think, yeah, but you know him
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: better than anybody. But what those guys always like to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: poke their nose into everything.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: But I mean, look, either really smart guy. I can't imagine.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Although you know, the people he replaced weren't that great, right,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: remember Will?
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were nice people. But you're right, all right.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I mean I think I think we actually traded up
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: with STEVIEE. Cohen.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I think you won that round. Yeah. So, and there
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: were great people of Willpons. But were they Fred Willpond
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: nicest guy in the world, Yeah, very sweetly.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I never met him, but I know I might have
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: met him once. He was on the board of Bear
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Stearns I think I did beat the one.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I talked.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I interviewed his son once too.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jeff Willpon, great guy. Yeah yeah.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: So they didn't do much for the team though.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: No, but uh all right, I can't argue that, uh hey,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: this go woke, go broke stuff. When does it? Does
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: it turn around at some point? Like are we going
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to wake up in November and elect Bruce Blakeman and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: get a real governor? I think can that happen?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: You know? Mark, This is my point. So many people
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: have left this city that I don't think. I think
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: you and I are, and maybe Bruce, well, I know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and I really like we might be so much in
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the minority were it's impossible to win in this state
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: that we'll see. I mean, you know, the ruling class
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: here is so inept and so stupid, and they're they're
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: literally chasing everybody that wants to work out that can't leave.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: You know, some people can't leave. It's it's you're right.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: It's a little difficult for me to leave since I
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: worked for Fox, that worked for the Post. You know,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: it's hard for me to set up shop in Florida Miami.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe I get to become part of the Miami Bureau
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: of the Post or something like that. That would be great,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: but you know, so so many people have left the
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: city and the state. It's I don't know if if
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: there's enough people to vote for him that are left
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: so many people, you know, you know, if you look
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: at who you know who votes Democratic, it's all these
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you know, these public sector unions which are it's a
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: huge employer in this in the city and state, so
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: they you know, automatically, when you're a Democrat, you start
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: off with like forty five percent of the vote, right,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I mean almost ya ta get out the vote. So
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I'm just wondering if if it's just an impossibility. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: it's kind of scary to think that.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, Nasal County had the same exodus
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and it's a majority Democratic county. Blakeman has won there twice.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: He's pulled it off twice.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's it's true. You know, the Democratic Party
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: is starting to bifur kate two a little bit from
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: these I mean, people forget this. There are a lot
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: of like moderate Democrats. There are no longer Democrats because
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: of the because of the Looney tombs that were on
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: the show. The far left. So there there is that,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, And and and moderate Republicans
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: pick that up every day. I mean, listen, you know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I see it all the time, you know, moderate moderate
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Democrats saying, you know, maybe Trump isn't so crazy for
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: going after the Iyahtola, you know, and that the Mullahs.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe this is a good thing, that he's finally
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: taking these in and the rear ends out, you know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: these guys that are murderous thugs that you know, could
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: control the world's oil supply, you know, with with a drum.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe he's maybe finally someone bit the bullet.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing that a lot from moderate Democrats, believe it
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: or not. That's and that could be where Bruce wins.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: But I I don't know. So many people have left,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: you know, but want to get out and and and
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: then you know, even if he does win, you know,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the legislature is controlled by just wackos, you know, I mean,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: they're just they're not have you seen some of these people.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but again, same thing in Nasall County. He's worked
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: his way around that problem too.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: But well, I mean, you've got a lot of powerance
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: govern right, but it's still not easy. And I think
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: he is elected. He won't make the mistakes that Cuomo did.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Clomo gazed into those guys time and time again. Towards
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the end. I think Bruce would take the fight to them,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: which would be a good thing. Well, and he will
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: part in this poor cop that is gonna jail.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: For He'll do a lot of great things. Day one,
• 12:22
