  Speaker 2: May, we got a lot to get to today, well,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: and it's another cold date. It's a little better today,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: you know, I think everybody's complaining some cold yesterday to day,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the dop cold. I think I'm gonna take up smoking
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: because I've noticed that if if you smoke, they don't
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: even feel the cold. It could be ten below zero.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: As you can walk towards this building, the smokers are
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: all up front smoking. You know, they all sneak out
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: they have a cigarette. Could be fifty below zero, ten
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: feet they're still out there on the sidewalk smoking. So
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: what's today Wednesday? When we're almost through this week, we
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: got a lot to get to. We'll get to the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Somali community and the billions missing in Minnesota. We'll get
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to affordability, We'll get to that crazy brad Lander, and
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: we'll get to you know, congestion. Pricing is now celebrating
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: it's one year anniversary. It's coming up on one year.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: The yelling and screaming about it has died down a bit.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I guess people just starting to accept it. It's probably
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: going to be here forever. It doesn't go away.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It's like when they raise the symptoms, they don't raise
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: your maintenance or your property. Text. It's what they call
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: an assessment to fund something, a little assessment while we
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: need it. It never goes away. These things never ever
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: go away. President Trump went to Pennsylvania last night for
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the rally. He's been in the White House now for
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: about eleven months, and a lot of times they start
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to do these things for two reasons. One, you're not
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: getting your message across because the media is so corrupt,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and they've focus grouped prices, and that's how they came
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: up with the word affordability. It tested the best in
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: focus groups, so Democrats used it successfully in the elections
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: in November, and the media just goes crazy attacking Trump
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: on affordability. It's all a bit of a hoax because
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the fact is in the eleven months that he's been there,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: prices have come down quite a bit. Inflation has been
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: cut in half, which is pretty good in ten months.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: He always said it would take a year, year and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: a half to get it down. Now, remember the big
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: beautiful bill that he passed with all the tax cuts,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: all that stuff has not taken effect yet. Although they
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: got it passed this year, it doesn't kick in until January,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: so you'll see a huge change in January. Everybody will
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: be getting more money in their paychecks in January because
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the bill will begin January first. The tax cuts now again,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: prices are already down. Inflation hit nine percent at one
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: time under Biden. The average under Biden was five percent.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: It's now two and a half, so he's cut inflation
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: in half already. Food prices are down. They'll point to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a couple of things, like beef prices. What about beef,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: that's the reason for the beef prices being way up.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: You can thank Joe Biden and the Democrats for that.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember, but about two years
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: ago they started this war on cows, claiming that cows
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: caused climate change. I forget how they came up with
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: that or how they explained it, but they went after
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the cattle industry in the Green scheme, and as a result,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the cattle industry had to cut back the size of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: herds and all that stuff. So there are less cattle,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: less cows, less beef. Now they have to get that back.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It's just like with oil, where they cut back drilling,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: there was less oil out there and made the price
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: go up. And the same thing with cattle. We had
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a lot less cattle than we usually have. So Trump
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: administration has changed all that. It'll take again. It takes
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: more than a few months. It's going to take a
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: year to get the cattle herds back up to where
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: they were, and that brings down the price. So it
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: was in Pennsylvania to do the rally to get the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: message out about afford But wages are up since he
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: took office. Wages are up, prices are down. You got
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to get that across, although it's tough because fake news
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: will just keep yelling that there's a terrible affordability crisis.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: It really isn't. It's a lot better. I mean, if
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you call this an affordability crisis, what did you call
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: two years ago when it was five times worse. So
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: now the other reason you do the rallies is a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: president who is a great speaker, great performer. When he
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: gets elected. Now he goes into the White House and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: he's in the White House and that's it, and he speaks.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: It's in a room with a podium to people he knows.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: And after a while you start to get well, it's
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: like your caged animal. You need to get out there.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: They saw this with Reagan, and they realized they had
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to get him out there. Let him give him a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: big audience, give him thousands of people out there, let
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: him do rallies, let him do speeches. It's like a
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: great performer, comedian, singer. You gotta let him go out
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: on stage. You gotta let him get out there. So
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: they started to do these rallies for Reagan for no reason,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: just because he needed it. He needed the energy from
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the crowds, needed to get out of the White House,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: get back in touch with the people. So every couple
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: of weeks they set up something for Reagan, usually close
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: by so he could get there fast and get home fast,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and not California, nearby, Maryland, Pennsylvania. So they need to
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: do this with Trump. He needs to get out there,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: get back on stage, get back to performing for audiences.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: So you'll see more of these. He did an hour
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and a half last night. I know the fake news
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: will tell you he's got no energy, can't stay awake.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: He did an hour and a half, a lot longer
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: than he's supposed to do. He was kind of all
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: over the map. So he didn't, you know, always say
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you got to stay on message, and well, Trump's not
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: going to do that. The coverage of it, of course,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: is bad because that's the way they do things. He
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: talked about affordability, He talked in great detail about what
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: he would do about it, and a couple of times
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: he made some jokes. So if you're watching the fake news,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: all they would say is he ridiculed affordability. He made
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: fun of the problem of affordability. Was totally inaccurate portrayal
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: of what happened. So you'll see more of these rallies. Hey,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: yesterday had some special elections. The interesting one was Miami
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: mayoral election. Special election had a runoff. The Democrat won.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Now that's unusual, usually it's a Republican in Miami. It's
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the first time a Democrat has won in thirty years
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: in Miami. So if you're watching the fake news, they'll
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: tell you this is a bad sign for the midterms.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: This is a bad barometer what's going to happen in
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the midterms. The fact that the Democrat won in Miami,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: of all places where Democrats never win, this is a
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: bad sign for a well, I think you got to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: look at more detail at this race. Nobody showed up
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: to vote. There was no turnout. The total votes thirty six,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: which is unheard of. That's incredibly low. So nobody showed
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: up to vote. That's how the Democrat got in. Now,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: as we've talked about here in New York, they got
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the same problem in Miami. There really is not much
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: of a Republican party machine. One thing about the Democrats.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: They have a strong party with infrastructure, lots of bodies,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and what they call the ground game, which is crucial.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Boots on the ground that get turnout, get people out
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to the polls. You know, door knockers, people working phone banks,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: people you know, knocking on doors. You need this kind
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: of stuff. Democrats have that same thing we have in
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: New York. Same problem in Miami. Republicans nothing public party
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: is there, three people, part time nothing. Democrats have a
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: massive amount of people on the ground to get turnout.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: So it was a tiny little turnout and Democrats want
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: so don't take it as much of a sign of anything. Hey,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel, last Night special guest David Letterman is returned
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to late night TV, and he looked like the old
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Letterman with the suits and the tie and those shiny
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: socks and the loafers, but still with the white beard.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: You know, if you're a kid watching Jimmy Kimmel, you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't know who Letterman is, and with that beard,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you must have thought this is Santa Claus or something
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: coming up. Although if you're a kid, you're not going
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to be watching Jimmy Kimmel. These late night shows. Average
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: age of the viewers is sixty three years old on
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the late night shows now most of them just talk
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: about politics these late night shows. Instead of fun stuff.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: It's all political and when you do that, you get
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: a much older audience. Average age of msnbcviewer I think
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: is sixty seven now. But Letterman on Kimmel, you know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: he was very big in late night TV on CBS,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: in fact, beating Jane Leno at times. But then about
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: halfway through his run on CBS, Letterman started to get
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: political and it was pretty obvious he was a very
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: left wing guy, so he lost half his audience. If
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: you remember, he was doing very well on CBS against
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the Tonight Show, and then as he got political and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: went far to the left, he started to lose audience,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and it went way down and started dropping and dropped
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: almost in half after a couple of years. So that
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: was the end, and that's when New it was time
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: to go, and CBS started looking around. But they made
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the mistake of going with another left wing guy. You
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: want a guy in the middle. You know, if you
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: kind of make fun of everybody, you can do very well,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: as Greg Guttfeld proved by getting bit. He has more
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: viewers than Kimmel, Fallon and Colbert combined every night. He's
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the king of late night now. So but the point is,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Letterman came out and he went really crazy with the
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Trump derangement syndrome. I mean really going after Trump with
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the hysterical, hyperbolic, vicious attacks on him. Now, the other
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: thing he did, he came on and he congratulate Jimmy Kimmel.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: He said, you have just been re signed. You know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: they tried to throw you off the air, they tried
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: to get rid of you. They're pushing together, can get
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: you fired. Yet you just signed. You signed a big
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: new contract. And the audience cheered and went crazy for
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: this big new contract. Well, they're totally conning the audience.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Kimmel did not get a big new contract, and he fact,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: he got the most insulting contract literally in the history
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: of late night TV. Every contract to re sign your
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: late night host, it's always five years, always five years.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: In case of a big, big name like a Carson
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: or in Oprah, it'd be a ten year contract. Kimmel
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: was resigned to a one year extension, which is the
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: worst insult. That's when you really don't like somebody or
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: you really don't think you're going to keep a one
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: year extension. They tried to do that to Carson in
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: ninety one, and that's the reason he left. That's where
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: he made the decision it was time to go and
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: quit because he realized what an insult that is. So
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Kimmel has not been resigned to a big new contract.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: The reason they'll only do a one year extension. This
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: is the way they're not stuck with you, and if they
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: have to fire you tomorrow, they don't have to pay
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: out very much. They do only have to pay out
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: for eleven months or ten months, which they would do anyway.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: So it's basically not even really a renewal, huge insult
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: to Kimmel. Letterman knows that and was just totally conning
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the audience with his nonsense. So, hey, Brad Lander, you
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: know that is he was the controller, a real left
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: wing cook. He's no longer the controller. His term is
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: up and he's going to run for Congress. He's trying
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: to win Dan Goldman's seat. Now, this doesn't make any
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: difference to anybody. Dan Goldman also a far left kok
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: So if it's Lander Goldman, who cares. But Lander is
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: trying to run on something. Accomplishments. He tries to in
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: this commercial list his accomplishments. He doesn't have any. So
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: what could he possibly come up with. Well, he mentioned
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: the fact that he got arrested fighting ice. That's the accomplishment.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Remember there was an ice proceeding going on in the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: courtroom and Lander tried to burst in and they told
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: him he can't come in right now, and he didn't listen,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: and he came in and they had to arrest him
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: and take him out. He was being disorderly. He was
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: totally guilty of disorderly conduct. Governor Hokeel was called and
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: ran right down to the courthouse and got him released
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: in her custody. But he's just a clown, just a
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: silly guy, far left guy. He is one of the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: reasons we have Mom Donnie as mayor. He worked hard
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: to get Mom Donnie elected. You remember, there was a
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: primary and Lander was running against Mom Donni. But then
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: at some point he decided to join the Mom Donnie team.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: They got together, they pulled their voters, he endorsed Mom Donne.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: He got him through that primary, and so they were
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: very close. There were teammates on this whole thing, and
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: then something went wrong there and Mom Donnie cut off Lander.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: After all this happened, you figured Brad landerby a big
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: part of the administration. They had some kind of breakup,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: some kind of fight, and Mom Donnie cut Lander off completely.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: So apparently Lander too reprehensible even for Mom Donnie, so
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: he was cut off. Now he's running for this seat.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: He's a big, blowhard showboat. He's like a George Santos,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: kind of one stunt after another trying to get publicity.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Problem with Dan Goldman. Besides being a far left kook,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: he's kind of a quiet guy. I don't think he
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: can compete with all the stunts. So who knows. Lander
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: may have a shot against him. You know, the most
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: fascinating thing is Minnesota, the Somali community where this fraud
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: took place. Whenever, whenever Democratic leaders start yelling him programs
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: for the homeless, money seems to disappear. You know, the
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: great thing about the green scheme, the climate change, it
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: was billions in contracts to hand out billions. So that's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: why Democrats love that climate change green scheme stuff. That's
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: what it's called the green steam scheme. You give out
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: massive contracts to companies in exchange for huge donations and
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: whatever you needed. Well, a lot of Democrats, especially locally
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: mayors and those sorts, I've realized the homeless scheme is
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: much better. The problem with the green scheme when you
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: give out a contract, it's to a company in Colorado
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that makes windmills or something, and they found with the homeless,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the money doesn't leave the community. You're still giving out
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: massive contracts, but you're giving them out right in your
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: neighborhood to people you know. So the money comes back
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: to you in a lot more ways and a lot faster.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: So you remember, Bill de Blasio and his wife set
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: up this crazy program when he was mayor called Thrive NYC.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: And it was helped the homeless. And if you actually
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: asked him, well, what exactly show me the program. Well,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: it's yoga for homeless, Yoga for homeless, literally, that was
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: one of the programs. So a billion dollars was handed out.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: After it was all over, everybody looked for the money
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: or what happened, and they couldn't They couldn't find it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Even a missus Deblasio and the husband admitted they don't
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: know where the money went. They can't find it, they
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: can't keep track of it. Well, you got Minneapolis, you
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: got these Somali leaders, a elon Omars, these types they
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: set up the same thing. Programs are the homeless, and
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: if you were running a homeless type program, they would
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: give you money out of all these funds, government funds,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: taxpayer funds, federal funds. And they started passing out money
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: and it's all gone. Nobody can find it. And it
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: looks like first a billion, then they said it's probably
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: two billion. Now they think it might be as much
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: as eight billion has been stolen from taxpayers has disappeared
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: into this homeless scheme. And this is one of the
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: great great scandals of the news media fake news. You'll
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: notice you're not seeing any coverage of this if we
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: had legitimate, actual media, if CBSABC, NBC were legitimate, they'd
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: be all over this. They would dispatch a whole team
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: of reporters, go to Minneapolis, don't leave until you found
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: out what happened, get to the bottom of this. The
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: New York Times, the Washington Post. They'd be sending reporters.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: There's no coverage, no mention of it. They don't want
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: you to know about it. So this is what democrats do. Now,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: they've got these homeless schemes where you get to handout
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: money left and right. Now, Mom Donnie gets elected, what's
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: he talking about setting up a homeless program, setting up
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: a massive program to handout massive contracts on the So
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: we had imagine it's the same exact scheme, and that's
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: what will happen here. And we've already got some good
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: homeless programs. He's canceling them because they basically don't hand
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: out massive contracts to anybody. So it's going to be
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: interesting to see what happens now, Mom Donnie takes over.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I know you're hearing everybody's fleeing, everybody's leaving New York
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: with this not true. I'm sure you can find somebody
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: that's leaving New York. But the best thing to do
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: is look at real estate sales. As far as apartments condos,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: sales are up up dramatically in the last month. Now,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: sometimes that always happens year end, but you had eight
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy six contracts signed the last month. It'll
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: take the super high end, very expensive, multi zillion dollar apartments.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: You had nine contracts signed last week. That's a lot
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: and the better things. Check the rental market. That's people
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: coming in. Rentals in New York City are through the roof.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: In fact, right now it's very tough to rent an
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: apartment because rentals are going crazy. So people are moving
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: in despite mom. Donnie. Anyway, we've got a lot to
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: get to. We'll take some calls in a moment. Eight
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: hundred three to two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to the Mark Simone show I wr.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Hey, Let's take some calls. Eight hundred three to two
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: one zero seven Tennis. Peter, Peter and Harlem. He's always
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: angry about something, Peter, what's going on?
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not angry, always angry about something? Wait, let me
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: say something number one, you didn't tell the audience. Two
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: questions are on, hang up, you didn't tell the audience
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: who's written those expensive apartment and the fact that they
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: might even be red Chinese or our enemy. Secondly, well,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: we got.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: To go.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Super super luxury apartments in New York very often are
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of Chinese people, a lot of Arab people,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of the Middle Eastern people, a lot of Russians.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: One of the reasons is, especially China and those places,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: they don't trust their own government, and they got to
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: park money somewhere just in case they have to flee,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: so they'll buy like a one hundred million dollar apartment
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: in New York. That way, they got an asset. It's there.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: You know, if they have to leave China, they can
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: sell it. And you know, they bought up all the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: apartments in New York that way, and then they ran
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: the apartments to buy. That's one reason you cannot buy
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: a rolex right now. Certain watches, Paddock Philippe and a
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Rolex there's like a three year waiting list because a
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: lot of the same people they had to park their
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: assets somewhere, so they start buying up every watch in
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the world too. That's why there's a massive waiting list.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Phyllis in Brooklyn, Phillis. How you doing
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: all right?
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Good morning. I was just wondering a conversation you had
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: with Saulius today. You know about the documentary this Snai
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: your Enterprises was preparing. I believe you were part of it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Now, Oh you're talking about it's actually Fox News or
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Fox Nation. It's a big, massive Sinatra documentary. They interviewed
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: everybody in the world. Yeah, I'm on it too. Have
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: you seen it? Do you know where it is?
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: No?
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: I don't. That's why I'm calling.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Well. I remember when I did it. I said once
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: it's coming out, and they said in the fall, I
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: don't think it's out yet, but it's coming soon, and
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: it will be again, it's not out yet, it's coming out,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: but it's at these guys that did this documentary, they
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: were younger guys, but they really knew what they were doing.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: And I know they went to Patsy's and interviewed everybody there,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: and they interviewed me for like three hours, and they
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: were I was telling them everybody who would know everything
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: about Sinatra. It's given them all the names to interview.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Every time I mentioned anybody that we already did them.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: We already did them. We just got done. So they
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: interviewed everybody. They were very thorough. Big Sinatra documentary. I
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: don't know if it's Fox News or Fox Nation, but
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: it'll be coming out soon. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mike, that's not your thing.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: Should be great.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Thomas Saul, the famous economist, once said affordable housing is
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: housing you can afford. And it sounds kind of flippant,
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: but that's the truth. I mean, nobody could afford to
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: live in Manhattan, you know, or any big city. It's
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: expensive to live there. And I think it's great that
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: the president is out making his case, but where are
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: the other Republicans? You know, where are those months? Why
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: aren't they speaking up? I mean Trump speaks every day
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: to the media and makes his case every day for
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: hours on end, you know, every every news you know,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: every every day, see another news conference from the from
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: the office there, and you know, where are the other
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Republicans out there?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, it's Trump is right about the hoax. He
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: doesn't explain it that well. But the whole thing is
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: especially affordable housing. You know, there's places where you're not
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: gonna have affordable housing because they're very well the areas,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: and you can yell and scream. You know, if you
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: went to Southampton, right on the water on what's at
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: the lane there, whatever lane, metal lane, further lane, whatever
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: it is right on the water in Southampton, every house
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: is like eighty million dollars. You could stand there and
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: say why isn't there affordable housing because it's not supposed
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: to be. If you go to the next town up,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: if you go to Riverhead, there's plenty of affordable housing.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: It just there's very, very very expensive neighborhoods. There's very
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: poor neighborhoods, and there's everything in between. Speaking of the Hampton,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: there's an affordable housing crisis fight out. I'll tell you
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: about this the next start. It's a good illustration. But
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: if you go to Long Island, you go anywhere in
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Long Island, you go to Garden City, it's expensive. They
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: don't have any affordable housing, but they don't need to
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: because you go ten blocks that way, you're in Hempstead
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: and there's plenty of affordable housing. You're not supposed to
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: have affordable housing everywhere. It's okay to have a wealthy neighborhood,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: a middle class neighborhood, a poorer neighbor It happens. So
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: we'll get into this in the next hour when we
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: come back. Our old buddy Monica Crowley, now the Chief
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Protocol Officer of the United States. We'll talk to her
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: next on seven to ten w R. Mister New York.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: He's on the case the mar Simone Show on.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Hey, we knew her when she was just Monica Crowley.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: She is now the Chief of Protocol of the United
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: States of America. She is the Ambassador Monica Crowley, Madam Ambassador.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: How you doing?
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: Hi, Good morning, Mark.
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: I'm doing well, although I have to say keeping up
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: with President Trump is quite the project.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Oh I don't know. I was read in the New
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: York Times. Apparently he's cognitive. Whatever he's falling asleep, he
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: can find.
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, the propagandaize coming from the mainstream
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: media just never stop.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: It is the exact opposite.
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: You know, you would think that if they wanted to
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: lie about President Trump, and they have for the last
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: eleven years since he became a leader and a candidate
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: and a president. But you would think that it would
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: have like some semblance of believability. This is like President
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: Trump literally never sleeps.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: He is going around the clock.
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: There is no such thing as a day off, there
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: is no such thing as a weekend.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: It is NonStop with him. And it is all geared to.
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: The American people, to bringing America back, making America great again,
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: getting our economy back on track, which is why he
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: was back doing a rally in Pennsylvania yesterday. It is
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: about securing peace around the world, to make sure that
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: conflicts around the world are minimized and ended, which brings
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: greater prosperity to their regions, to the world, and to
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: the United States. The man never stops.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: If they weren't so corrupt, it's a more fascinating story.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: They could be reporting that no president ever behaved like this.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Usually it's a press conference two weeks from Monday. Nobody's
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: ever had four hundred press conferences a day, or just
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: events around the clock. But and do you sometimes not
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: even know where you're going to be, what city. The
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: way he moves and keeps moving, it is nonsense.
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: Every day I wake up Mark and I'm like, okay,
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: what kind of adventure is going to be coming out
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: me today and it really is an adventure.
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: Every day is a blessing.
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: But I have to say at the end of last week, I,
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: in the space of seventy two hours, Mark I went
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: from dealing with the President of Rwanda to the president
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: of FIFA and FIFA legends to Jane Simmons of Kiss.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tell us about it.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: Really in seventy two hours. It's just extraordinary.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tell us about the Kennedy Center looked really great.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: That's Sunday night ceremony.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: Oh, absolutely amazing. So on Thursday last week, the President
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: presided over Peacedale between the presidents of Rwanda and the
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: Congo and that conflict has been going on for thirty
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: five years, so he brokeer that peace deal and we
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: did that. And then on Friday at the Kennedy Center,
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: we hosted FIFA for the twenty twenty sixth final draw
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: for the World Cup next year, which President Trump heroically
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: brought to the United States back in his first term.
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: So we did that on Friday, and then all weekend
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: we celebrated at the Kennedy Center for the Kennedy Center Honors,
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: which was taped on Sunday, and it's going to air,
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: I believe, on December twenty third on CBS, so the
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: rest of the country will get to see what we
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: saw live on Sunday night. And it was just magical.
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: We had so many acts that are just purely American hunts,
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: like George Street and Kiss and Gloria gainor Sylvester Stallone.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: It was just absolutely magical to see all of these
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: phenomenal acts get their due.
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: Michael Crawford of course, get their due with tributes and
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: then tribute performances. So I encourage everybody to watch on
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: December twenty third on CBS because.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: You will love the show.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: But really, Mark, that's another project that President Trump has
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: taken under and turned around. He has saved the Kennedy Center,
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: which is one of America's great cultural institutions.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: He has saved it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, a lot of stuff is going on.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: People don't realize. Apparently the infrastructure was crumbling at the
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Kennedy Center. He had to fix that. He's fixed up
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: every inch of the White House, the entrance to this,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: the that, not to mention the ballroom and all that.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: But the boy he doesn't get any credit for that.
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: He really, no, he doesn't, but I'll tell you he will.
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: He will because he really believes said our capital city, Washington,
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: d C. Should be a sparkling gem. And that is
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: why he is moving on all fronts to turn our
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: capital city into that shining city on a hill that
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: Ronald Reagan talked about when he talked about America. But
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: President Trump really believes that the entire country will follow
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: suit if our capital is cleaned up and made safe.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: And that's why we have the National Guard on the streets.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: And we had that horror happened right around Thanksgiving where
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: we had two National guardsmen shot and one unfortunately passed away.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: One is struggling for his life still.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: But he has.
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: Actually ratcheted up the National Guard present since that horrific shooting.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Washington, d C.
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: Now is incredibly safe, much safe for them where you
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: were sparkling. And it does extend were institutions as well,
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: like the Kennedy Center. He has done all of that
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: while turning the US economy around, while brokering peace deals
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: around the world.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: Again, the man never stops for good.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, Now, Monica Crowley as Chief of Protocol, all the
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: world leaders come to the White House, they first meet
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: with you, and we see you greet them, and you're
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: sitting with them and you're talking with them. What do
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: you notice they all have in common, all the different
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: world leaders, as.
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: Far as that's a really yeah, that's a really interesting question.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: Mark, thank you.
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: Yes, I mean my office and I've got an absolutely
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: phenomenal team.
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: I cannot do any of this without them. They are
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: just incredible.
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: And what we do is manage the diplomatic engagements for
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: the President, the Vice President, and the Secretary of State.
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: So I am I am obviously hooked to the President
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: and these world leaders.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: And I have to say.
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: That most of them, not all, but the vast majority
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: of these world leaders.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: First of all, they.
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: When they come in, they all have a sense of
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: awe of the President and the White House in America.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: They all understand where they are, and.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: Even if they're meeting with the president elsewhere, like President
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: Putin of Russia met with President Trump in Alaska, so
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: not in the White House, but there is a fundamental
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: understanding that they are dealing with the world's superpower. And
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: President Trump is one of the few presidents in recent
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: history to understand the importance of American leverage and knows
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: how to use it. He knows he's sitting atop the
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: world's superpower militarily, economically, diplomatically, politically, culturally, and he leverages it,
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: and he knows how to leverage it. This is why,
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: you know, coming out of his business background is so invaluable.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: But these worlds leaders understand, and I would.
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: Say almost all of them have said to me and
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: to others, you know, even if we disagree with President
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: Trump on policy, even if we have serious policy differences
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: with the administration with the United States, we all appreciate
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: a strong American president. They all appreciate that he is
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: strong and that he tells them the truth.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: Now, they may not like the truth, they may.
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: Not like what they're hearing from him, they may disagree right,
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: and they may want to counter it, but they all
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: understand that having a strong American hand in the White House,
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: sitting atop the country, they know exactly where they stand.
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: They don't have to waste time guessing what does the
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: president believe, where's American policy going? They know exactly where
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: they stand, and then they can operate from there, and
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: they all appreciate that more than you know.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Wow, well, hey, we only got about thirty seconds left.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: You got the most important, glamorous job. But tell the truth,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: you miss us, You miss New York. You miss the
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: radio and TV, don't you.
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: Well, I am so blessed to be in this job,
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: and I thank God every day, and I thank the
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: President for having the confidence in me to do this job.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: It is incredibly important, and I'm just so grateful. But
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: I am a New Yorker.
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: So while I'm in DC doing this job, while President
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: Trump is in office, as long as they will have me,
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: I am still a New York girl. And I pray
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: and hope that we will survive the Mondommie years, and
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: that he will he will moderate, because you know, New
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: York City is the capitalist gem, the cultural gem of
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: this country, and it cannot go the way of a
