• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark Simone show on seven or well,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: hey it's Friday.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: A lot of stuff to get to. There's these fake news,
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: it's really cranked it up, faking fake, faked stories. There's
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: a fake story out there about ice detained a five
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: year old child. We'll get to that. We'll get to
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: the Jack Smith hearings. We'll get to how do you
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: say this, I can never know his name, Mackmood Khalid
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: has been thrown out of the country. Get to that.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: We'll get to Davos, Ukraine. Putin there's news. We'll get
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: to Greenland and more. Now, as far as the storm,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: this is the first real, big, huge test of Mam
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Donnie as mayor. This has happened in the past where
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: a new mayor came in I think with Lindsay and
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: as soon as he got there a major snowstorm and
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: he was unable to get the streets cleared, especially in
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: the outer boroughs, and it really hurt him. So we'll
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: see Mom Donnie has already got he's doing these press
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: conferences where he puts on the snow jacket, you know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: the you know that field jacket, that windbreaker thing where
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: it says mayor on it. It's got a big logo
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: on the side. So now here's the good news. This
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff is usually handled by the director of
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: emergency Management. That's who's going to do this well. Luckily,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the director of Emerging Emergency Management, who's been there for years,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: he is leaving. He gave his resignation, but he's got
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: two weeks left so he'll be there for this storm,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: so he'll be handling it. And the team under him
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: is deputy emergency management. People are all pretty good, so
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: that's a good sign. Mam Donnie knows it's a big test,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: so he'll rely on them. Let them do what they
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: have to do. The storm will start overnight Saturday, could
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: be as early as one am. Looks more now like
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: four am. The snow will start Saturday night four am
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: into Someday morning. It will snow all day Sunday. It
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: will not stop. Continuous snow all day Sunday Sunday night.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: It'll end Monday morning. You might get a little return
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: to snows a couple of times in the afternoon. When
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: it's all over, it could be four to twelve inches.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: There's about six different models you could use on this
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: that show every range from four to six four to
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: twelve most likely, six to eight inches most likely. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: now as far as school on Monday, I don't know.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Here in New York City, Director of Emergency Management says,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: no decision has been made on school on Monday. They'll
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: make that decision over the weekend, and if they do
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: have to cancel school on Monday, it's not like the
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: good old days where when you had a snow day,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: you had a snow day, you had a snow day,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: you got to stay at home and watch game shows
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: on TV and that sort of stuff, and you got
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: to see the price is right that kind of stuff.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: But nowadays, when there's a snow day, they go to
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: remote learning. They're gonna expect students to do the remote
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: learning like they did during the pandemic. Director of Emergency
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Management says they are preparing for that, which means they
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: have to make sure that the server space and the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: power they need, storage, all that bandwidth, all that is
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: up to speed. So they're working on that. But figure
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: nobody will go to work Monday. It'll be just now
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: here's the other thing, the snow all day Sunday. Let's
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: say there's six to eight inches. It's gonna be bitterly cold.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: The temperature will be like ten degrees twenty degrees. It's
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: not gonna melt, and it looks like the temperature will
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: stay way below freezing for most of the week. So
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: unlike other storms, there's going to be a long period
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: of days and days and days where the snow doesn't
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: go anywhere, just rock hard. And because it'll be freezing,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I got a big problem with ice, black ice, all
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. So most likely you'll not go
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: out Sunday. Sunday will be the store, Monday will be
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: a mess. You probably won't be able to go to
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: work or do anything as far as all the suburbs.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: No word yet on the school closings, but it's going
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: to be a mess. Now, we had much bigger storms
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: than the snowstorms in the past. We haven't had a
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: big one like this in four years where we got
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: you know, six to eight inches. It could be me more,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: but we'll see and again, sometimes it you know, it weakens,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: it shifts. That's why the wide range of predictions now. Flights,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: it doesn't look good. It looks like a lot of
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: flights may be canceled, you know, you cost your money.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: You have to pay a fine or a fee to
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: switch flights. The airlines must of them have waived all
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: that you can switch your flight dates. I wouldn't be
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: flying anywhere on Sunday and Monday will probably be a
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: mess as well. So we'll see if they if they
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: get on top of this. The subways, the awful MPTA
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: director Jano Lieber saying that they're expecting it to run,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: but there could be Remember the last big snowstorms, you
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: had some lines that had huge delay, So we'll see.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I went back. Somebody sent me this from nineteen ninety
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: one NBC News Jessica Savage remember her NBC Nightly News.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Whole story about global warming is so intense that by
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the end of the nineties it'll be so warm we'll
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: never see snow again. This is all these climate change
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: people from way back then. Remember Al Gore's movie An
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Inconvenient Truth? When was that twenty years ago? Twenty three
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: years ago? Get the movie al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: That's the climate change movie where he told you all
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: the things that were going to happen, about the glacier
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: melting and the beach would disappear. Watch the movie now,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: it's hysterical. Every single thing he predicted never happened. In fact,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: just the opposite happened. The glacier got bigger, No beach, Erosi, nothing.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Just go watch it now and you'll just laugh and
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: laugh and laugh. The good news. On Sunday, you're gonna
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: have football. You'll be stuck in all day. You got
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: two big games Sunday. So that helps President Trump back
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: from back from Switzerland, back from Davos, which he normally
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: hates that it's a bunch of globalists talking about climate change.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: But that's all changed now. The guy that ran Davos
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: for years is gone left in scandal. Now it's run
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: by Larry Fink of a hedge fund, Blackrock. So it's
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: more what it's supposed to be, discussing the economy, foreign affairs,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. Things between world leaders looks like,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: looks like a lot of progress was made on the
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Ukraine at Davos, Zelensky and Trump talked. And here's how
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: bad the fake news is. They never tell you what
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the hell's going on. They only picked stories that fit
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: their narrative or that'll hurt Trump. If there's anything good.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: They never tell you about it. They keep it from you.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Great stuff happened as Ukraine Putin negotiating at Davos, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: last night Steve Witkoff met with Putin for hours and
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: hours and hours. The meeting didn't end till three in
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: the morning. This may be the first you're hearing about
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: it because fake news will not report this because it
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: looks good, it looks like progress, so you'll never hear
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: about it. Looks like the President will stay in DC
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: this weekend. No mar A Lago. He is going to
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Iowa next week. Now he's going to be doing this.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: It'll be kind of like going on tour every week.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: He'll be in a different part of the country speaking,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: doing a rally. Part of the reason is they're putting
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: out all these fake polls about his poll numbers is
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: the economy. You saw a bunch of them yesterday. I
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: think the Wall Street journals summed them all up. But
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: they're all fake poles. If you look at the metrics,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: totally rigged forgot to sample Republicans. It's basically they just
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: sampled democrats. They didn't use likely voters. They used what
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: they call adults, which means they can pick whoever they want.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: They can go to a Harvard and do it in
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: the faculty lounge if they want so totally rig poles.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Why do they do it Because it's a great way
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: to bash Trump. You put out all these fake poles,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: you get a big prestigious newspaper to print them all,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: and then every network news cast, everybody can say the
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: President's poll numbers are disastrous. The public has turned on
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: it. It's a great, great way to start that lie going.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: And you've been seeing major lies this week from the
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: fake news. There's been a story all over the place
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: that these evil, awful Ice people detained a five year
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: old and they show you the picture they're surrounding the
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: five year old. And this story's been all over the place.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Could anything look more cruel? These Ice agents show up
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: to grab a five year old, this little innocent kid
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: with the Ice agents. What a horrible thing. Now, this
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: has been all over the place, the fake news, the networks,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: The New York says, all these people failed to report
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: the actual story. They had a warrant for an illegal alien,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: a real criminal. They had a warrant to arrest him.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: They went to get him. They see him there he's
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: with a five year old kid. That's I guess it's
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: his kid. Apparently it is his kid. His five year
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: old is with him. The guy sees the ICE agents,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: he turns and runs and abandons the five year old,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: just leaves him there. He runs from Ice, takes off, vanishes,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: leaving the five year old. Can you imagine that. I mean,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: you don't want to get arrested by ICE if you're
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: an illegal alien criminal, but abandoning your five year old,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: so he runs off. They go chase the guy, but
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: of course some of the ICE agents remain to protect
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: the kid, and one of them is holding the kid.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Make sure the kid's okay. That's the real story. They
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: failed to report that. The other fake story they've been
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: putting out is ICE agents arrested an American citizen, an
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: actual full citizen, an America con citizen was arrested by ICE. Well,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: they forget to tell you the rest of the story.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: When Ice they had a guy who turned out it
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: was a citizen, but when they stopped the question and
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: he got into a fight and he punched the ICE
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: agent in the face, they forget to report that part. Now,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: no matter what's going on, if you punch a law
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: enforcement officer in the face, you're getting arrested. Traffic stop.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: But whatever it is, even if you were totally innocent
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: and you just got mad, you got stopped, and you
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: punched the officer in the face, you're getting arrested. It's
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: that simple. But of course, fake news just unbelievably busy
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: trying to hurt Trump. Hard to run a democracy when
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: you don't have actual media going. So Jack Smith testified yesterday.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: It looked pretty bad for Jack Smith. Pretty bad. Was
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of people were curious why he was so nervous.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: He was nervous, he was squirming. And one of the
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: reasons is to do the dirty stuff that he does.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: The dirty work requires a lot of secrecy. And this
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: guy has been doing this for years. He's a hit
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: man who goes after political rivals, charges them like crazy,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: gets them convicted of a million things. He's done it
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: nine other times with Republicans, and all nine times the
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: cases were tossed out when it went to the higher courts.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: And in the case of the Virginia Governor MacDonald, the
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court throughout all the charges and wrote in the
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: decision this was all clearly politically motivated. That's this guy's history.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: So why was he squirming and so nervous. He's not
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: used to operating in the spotlight. He's used to operating
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: in the shadows. To do what he does requires hiding
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: in the shadows. That's why he was so nervous. It
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: was funny watching his testimony. He just they had a
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: million things to get him on. In every case, he
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: just claimed he did not recall. He couldn't recall. I
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: don't recall. I don't remember even when they asked him.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: There was some funny business went on to make him
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: this special prosecutor. Because if you needed a special counsel,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: there's about twelve hundred guys in Washington perfectly qualified. Why
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: did they go halfway around the world to the Hague
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: to bring this guy in because he's a long time
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: hit man. But it was there was some suspicion about
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: how he got sworn in, how he got so when
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: they asked him about it, he claimed not to remember.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Even when they asked him when he got sworn in
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: or who swore him in, he claimed he didn't remember,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: he couldn't recall. He then targeted all kinds of Republicans,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: including the Speaker of the House. He tapped his phone.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: He did surveillance on the Speaker of the House. Nobody
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: knows why, but to get the warrant he had to
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: write up a thing to the judge and they found
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: this and apparently in the declaration, Jack Smith said believed
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: the Speaker of the House might be a flight risk.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine that it was Kevin McCarthy at the time,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: He's the Speaker of the House. Smith told the judge,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: he's possibly a flight risk. This is one dirty, sleazy guy.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: When they went after Trump for January sixth, in the
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: hearings yesterday, his whole argument was that Trump kept saying
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: the election was rigged. It was rigged, it was rigged,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: it was rigged. It was that kind of talk that
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: led to the protests at the Capitol and the trespassing
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: and all that. So a couple of senators asked him, well,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen was screaming all over the
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: place the election was stolen, it was rigged, Russia stole it,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Trump stole it, it was rigged. How come that's not
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: the same thing. Smith refused to answer that question, couldn't
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: answer it. Hey, Trump is Donald Trump? Is forming the
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Board of Peace. One of the first task is fixed
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: the situation in Israel, Gaza. All of that. The Board
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: of Peace a lot of top world leaders, business people.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Trump has been named the chairman.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: This board has the chance to be one of the
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: most consequential bodies ever created. That's my enormous honor to
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: serve as its chairman. It was very honored when they
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: asked me to do it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course it's his board, it's his board members.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: That's why they asked him. But he's the perfect guy
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: to do it. The plan for Gaza, once you get
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: everything settled, is to turn it's on the water, as
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Trump would say, it's waterfront property. He's a real estate guy.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: This is waterfront property. He wants to turn it into
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: a booming metropolis with skyscrapers and everything in the world,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: money everywhere, money flowing in booming economy. Thinks that'll be
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: the answer to this.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: I'm a real estate person at hearsh and it's all
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: about location. And I said, look at this location on
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: What it could be for so many people. It'll be
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: so great.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: People that are living so poorly are going to be
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: living so well.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Palestinians, you're gonna get a Starbucks, You're gonna get
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: a Chipotle. You're gonna be very happy if you play
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: your cards right, and in an out burger. It's going
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: to be quite a place. If not, maybe just a
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: shake shack. But now, one reason for this Board of peace.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Normally this would be the United Nations. But for about
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: fifty years, the United Nations has been the absolute most
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: useless organization. Does absolutely nothing. It's basically a VIP lounge
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: for dictators and communists. And Trump was asked about it, We'll.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Do it in conjunction with the United Nations. You know,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I've always said the United Nations has got tremendous potential, has.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Not used it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: But this tremendous potential in the United Nations.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, a little competition will be good for them. Hey. Also,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: we're no longer in the World Health Organization. It's a shady, sleazy,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: corrupt organization, the World Health Organization. The United States is
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: officially pulled out. It was basically controlled and run by
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: communist China. The head of it was a Marxist. It
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: was a bad, bad organization. So let China have it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: We'll still operate when we need to, still work with
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: them when we when we need to. But otherwise we're
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: not we're not part of it. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten in Mark.
• 16:16

• 17:41
  Speaker 6: Rinse and repeat.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, great, I knew this was going to be a
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: waste of time. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: how you doing.
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Mark, Yes, I had a snatch a question
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: for you.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: When he made movies he was pretty adamant about sort
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: of one take, two, take said the most and he
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: would begun. But in the studio he seemed to be very,
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: very fastidious, and he would do, you know, tons of
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: takes on.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, there was a reason for that. The reason was
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: he was the most skilled musician in the world. He was,
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: as a great critic once said, like on a Mozartian level.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: It was like Mozart, like somebody that comes along in
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: music once every couple hundred years. He was so skilled
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: in a studio, take after take after take to get
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: it perfect. But when it came to acting, in movies.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: He was an unbelievable natural actor. He knew he wasn't
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: a skilled professional actor. He was just a natural actor.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: So he knew he couldn't do multiple takes and get
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: it right. His only shot was very natural, get it right,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: you know, just make it real. He couldn't do repeat takes.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: By the way. He in the first major albums in
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: the fifties, he would do seventy five one hundred takes.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: But he he noticed he was burning out the musicians.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: That I was going to ask, like, what would you know?
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: How did the musicians go?
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: I mean, they're working with the greatest, so of course
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: I'm sure you didn't quite too.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: I've got you under my skin. That famous saxophone solo,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: he said, when you got to take twenty seven, the
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: guy wasn't as good on his solo. So he realized
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: with musicians, you can only do about ten twelve takes.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: That's it. Very good question, Mike. Let's go to Jack
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: in New Jersey. Jack, how you doing.
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: I'm doing fine, Mark, Thanks first time Cohler. I've been
• 19:23
  Speaker 11: listening to you for a while. Two things I would
• 19:26
  Speaker 11: like to see is the first one is like you
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: need a nick Shirley type of a person out there
• 19:32
  Speaker 11: to confront one of these protesters, like up in Minneapolis
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: to the ICE protesters and say, how many of your
• 19:40
  Speaker 11: neighbors would be interested in coming out if the shoes
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: on the other foot and you were in trouble with
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: the law, how many you think would be out there?
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Well, he sounds like the most riveting programming, But I
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: get what you're saying, we need more Nick Shirley's he's
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: the guy that exposed the Somali fraud. You know, I'm
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: up to nineteen billion of that fraud there in Minnesota.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: And you're right, need Nick Shirley everywhere. Need them in
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: New York, need them all over the place. Let's go
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you.
• 20:07
  Speaker 12: Doing, Good morning, Mark, Mark. I'm okay. I just wanted
• 20:10
  Speaker 12: to clarify what happened to me with the tariffs yesterday.
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: I only had like ten seconds. I'm not against the
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: tariffs on the big corporations who cheat American workers, who
• 20:21
  Speaker 12: place massive tariffs on us. I'm just talking about these
• 20:26
  Speaker 12: Pettieri tariffs that, as I said, a woman sent me
• 20:30
  Speaker 12: a Christmas gift for sixty seven dollars and I even
• 20:34
  Speaker 12: called up ups yesterday to get the calculation how they
• 20:38
  Speaker 12: tabulated the tariffs. The tariffs and fees for me to
• 20:43
  Speaker 12: get a package that I already owned because she paid
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: for it, was ninety seven and fifty cents. And I
• 20:50
  Speaker 12: also heard on Jimmy Fayler's show the other night, the
• 20:53
  Speaker 12: call in section after ten, a lot of small businessmen
• 20:58
  Speaker 12: were talking about the same thing. And all I'm saying
• 21:01
  Speaker 12: is is that Trump needs to have his people retweet
• 21:07
  Speaker 12: this because over the summer, when this woman came to
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: stay at my house, didn't.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Stay at your house? What was this all about?
• 21:15
  Speaker 12: Well, she actually came with her husband. No, weirder, Well,
• 21:20
  Speaker 12: I leant to one of my apartments.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Well, Vincent, don't worry that that terriff's eventually go away.
• 21:26
  Speaker 12: Well, unfortunately it is hurting some little people.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no it does. But frankly I know, but Vincent,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: we get the same exact thing from Democrats. They'll tear
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: if you even more. They just call it corporate tax.
• 21:38
  Speaker 12: So but tell me, what how am I supposed to
• 21:42
  Speaker 12: feel about this?
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Not great? But again, the tariffs go away eventually, But
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: when the Democrats are in power, they'll they'll put huge
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: time by Vincent. We got to go to do the news. Well,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: when we come back, Roger Friedman will be with us
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: next lots of we'll talk to him about the Oscar
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: nominations and a whole lot more coming up on seven
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: to ten w R.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Mister New York Mark Simone on seven wo.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: R Well Entertainment reporter Roger Friedman. He runs the great
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: website showbiz for one one dot com. A lot of
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: good stories, new stuff every day, Showbiz for one one
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: dot com. Roger Friedman, How you doing.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: I'm great? How are you this morning?
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: I'm good. Hey. Oscar nominations came out this week. What
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: do you what do you think? Well?
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: I think they were. There weren't too many surprises. There
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: were things I was happy about. The big snub was Wicked.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: The second Wicked movie got nothing.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Why is that?
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Well, because I think the Academy thought they got a
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: lot last year and that's enough already, and it was
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: basically the same movie. So Arian the Grande's fans were
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: very upset that she wasn't nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: But she you know, she did well at the Golden
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Globe and I think that was appropriate. We have a
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: lot of great nominees. I'm really excited about Ethan Hawke
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: being nominated Best Actor for Blue Moon, which is just
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: a terrific little film, and of course Timothy Challomey and
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: Leonardo DiCaprio are in that. But the big news is
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: that Sinners has really built up a following. They had
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: sixteen nominations, the most ever for any movie.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Wow, now, why is that good?
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you haven't seen it.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: No, I see one movie every ten years.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: Sinners is Actually it's an interesting movie because it's sort
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: of like a vampire movie in a way. It's a
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: horror film, but it's not a horror film. It's a
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: film about social studies sort of. And music gorgeous R
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: and B and blues music from Tennessee from Memphis, and
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: it's it's just a great, great film. And Michael B.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: Jordan plays two parts in it, and he was nominated
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: for he plays the twin brothers, and he was nominated
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: for Best Actor, and they got del Roy Lindo was
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: nominated for Best Supporting Actor at seventy three. It's his
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: first nomination ever and he's such a fabulous actor. So
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: I think that Sinners may be a spoiler when we
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: get to the actual show.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: What about my favorite movie, Marty Supreme.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Marty Supreme did very well and Timothy Challamy is nominated
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: for playing Marty, and I think he's probably going to win.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: So your old friend Marty can be very proud from
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: the grave that things have worked out so well for
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: that movie, which is now at about seventy five million dollars,
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: which is pretty good.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, but what about Best Picture? You don't think
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: it'll win Best Picture?
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: No, I think it's either one Battle after another, which
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: is sort of my choice. I lean toward that, or
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: Sinners one or the other. The other great movie is Hamnet,
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: but I think that these other two are in overwhelm it.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so, how many people what percentage actually still goes
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: to a movie theater rather than streaming, actually goes and
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: sits in the theater and watches movies.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Now you know what, it's the box office is way
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: up from last year. I think people found a lot
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: of these movies very, very enjoyable and have made an
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: effort to go to theater, which is interesting because people
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: were saying, oh, theaters are over. You know, Netflix is
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: going to buy Warner Brothers and then they're going to
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: put all their movies on Netflix. But no, actually the
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: box office is up year to year.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: So yeah, and if you haven't been to a theater
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: while many of them now they have these reclining leather seats.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: They got great seats, liquor licenses, they got more food, candy, waiters, waitresses.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: It's pretty good.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: I have to be careful about that because if I
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: get into that reclining seat, I'll fall asleep immediately.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Well, but it does make a difference. But but but.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: It's really it's good. And uh, it's good. Now, of
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: course we're going to have Milania Trump's movie opening pretty soon.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Hey, let me ask you something about that. It was
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: done by Brett Ratner, the big Hollywood producer. Wasn't he
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: kind of blacklisted? Wasn't he me tooed out of Hollywood?
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: How does he get back in action?
• 26:19
  Speaker 13: Uh?
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: Got he got back into action because nobody else want
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: Mets to direct this movie.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: And still it's Amazon. Why would they get involved with
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: this guy?
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: No, I don't know. I mean, I like Brett, I
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: know him a long time, We've been friends for years,
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: But I do worry about his association with this Also,
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: as I've been reporting, there's almost been no advanced sale
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: for this movie. No one is buying tickets, and it
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: was very funny. For some reason, on the website for
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: the movie, it came up that I could choose buying
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: seats in Dixon City, Pennsylvania. Did you ever hear Dixon
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: City coming back?
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I could see you there. I think it'd fit right in.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: I've never heard of it before. Let's be honest, Stranson.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Let's be honest. I would guess you don't own a
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Maga hat.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: I don't own a Maga, but red is not my color.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: And also, the hats never look good on me. Even
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: the Yankee hats still look good on me. Hey, just
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: I can't make it work.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Speaking of documentaries, tell us about because this is the
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: one I'm looking forward. Tell us about the mel Brooks documentary.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's so great. It started last night and tonight
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: is part two on HBO, and then it's going to
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: be running all weekend and in our snowstorm, we're going
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: to have a lot of fun watching the Melbrooks movie.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: He's ninety nine years old, he's got every marvel and
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: he looks great. And the movie, the documentary in two parts,
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: tells the whole story of his career, you know, his
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: even his life before in Bancroft and his first marriage
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: and it had three kids from the first marriage, and
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: he was working on your show of shows, and he
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: was trying to make a living and he was having
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: a lot of trouble and then, you know, and then
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: finally he wrote the Producers, and the producers in nineteen
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: sixty eight got him an oscar for the screenplay, and
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: it sent his career soaring. And then we have all
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: those great movies from the seventies, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: And the movie.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: Jane Appatto hosts the documentary and he does a great job,
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: and there's lots of interviews with various people who've known
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: Mel over the years, including Rob Reiner, who was, you know,
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: the son of his best friends. And Rob Reiner is
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: it's really like tragic to watch him because he's so
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: you just love him when you see him, and you
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: think about this terrible thing that's happened. But Rob Reiner's
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: in it, and Ben Stiller and lots of cool people,
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: but it's mostly Mel talking, you know, at ninety nine
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: about this incredible career that he's had, and so it's
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: well worth watching both nights. Tonight is the second night
• 29:07

  Speaker 5: anything with Sinatra. I don't care where it is.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: But that documentary is pretty good, pretty well done.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there was an HBO documentary several years ago, maybe
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: ten years ago, there was a great HBO documentary about
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: Sinatra that's worth finding on their pay per view. But
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: I'll watch anything about you know that. We'll watch anything
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: about friend Sinatra.
• 29:45

• 30:09
  Speaker 5: one play. It's never really been a success. But Tom Felton,
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: who played a part in the Harry Potter movies, is

• 31:34
  Speaker 3: got the most listened to radio show in America, Sean
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Hannity at three, Jesse Kelly at six, and make sure
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: you listen now every night nine to midnight. Very good show,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: very funny show. Jimmy Fayala every night at nine on
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: seven to ten. Wo R.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Here's more. Mark Simone on seven ten wo R.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Well, hey, we got another hour to go. We'll get
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: you all the latest on the snow and uh well,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: we'll get to Mayor Mom, Donnie, we'll get to the Clintons.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: They're in Legal Jeopardy again and more coming up right
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: after the news. Mark Simone here on seven ten WR.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: He knows his way around all this.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: It's the Mark Simone Show on seven tenor.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Well, it's Friday. Normally that's great. You're looking forward to
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: a wonderful weekend, but this weekend you'll uh, well, Saturday,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: it's going to be bitterly cold. It will be a
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: real feel of like minus five or something all day Saturday. See,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: you're not going to really want to be out much
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: on Saturday. And then Sunday you got the storm, the
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: snow all day long. It will start overnight Saturday, about two, three,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: four in the morning, it'll start snowing. It'll snow all
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: day Sunday. It won't stop, It'll pile up. It'll snow
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: overnight Sunday night. It'll stop somewhere Monday morning, maybe come
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: back a little here and there in the afternoon, and
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: then that'll be it. But most likely forecast six to
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: eight inches. The different various models show a range of
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: four to twelve inches, but figure six to eight inches.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of snow. If you're in the suburbs.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: It's going to disrupt everything for a while. Also, unlike
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: other snowstorms, it's going to be freezing cold for the
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: next few days. It'll be like in the twenties, real
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Field and the teens. So after the snow is done
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: on Monday, for the next few days, it'll be so
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: cold that nothing will melt. You won't be able to
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: melt that snow. You won't be able to shovel it.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: You know, if you're in the city, it doesn't really
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: bother us because it doesn't really even stick on the ground.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: These sidewalks are so warm, people a million people walking
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: all over them. The subway underneath heats them. So the
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: city is fine, although you'll have some snow banks here
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: in there. But when you're in the suburbs, it's a
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: mess because the mall, the strip, mall, the supermarket, they'll shuffle,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: they'll shovel the parking lot, but you'll lose half the
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: parking spaces where they pile up the snow in those snowbanks,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: and all of that will stay for days and days
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: and days. Looks like in New York City, at least
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: they'll be school on Monday. Now it may go remote
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: and this is not fair to kids. It's very important
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: to have snow days where school is just canceled. You know,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: when we were a kid, it was a snow day,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: he had the day off, you'd watch game shows, you'd
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: goof off. But now if there is a snow day,
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: it'll just switch to remote learning. And imagine a lot
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: of suburban schools will do that. Not everybody's made the
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: decision yet, but we'll keep you up to date here
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: on the storm. This will be the first major test
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: of mom Donnie and his management skills. Although the emergency
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: team that does all this stuff is still there from
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: the Adams administration, so it's the same team. The director
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: of Emergency Management, he's a good guy. He'll be able
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: to handle this. He's resigned, but he gave two weeks notice,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: so he's still there through this storm. Now. When he leaves,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: the good news is his deputy takes over, who he
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: says is pretty good. She's been there for a long
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: long time, so it should be should be okay Greenland.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: Speaking of snow, it looks like the deal is done,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: and the deal is basically, we lease Greenland and control
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: it for decades and decades and decades, sometimes Trump hinting
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: it could be forever. Now that's different from actually buying
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: it and owning it. But some people are pointing out
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: this is actually better. We don't want to buy it
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: and own it and make it part of the US.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: We want to just lease it and have control. If
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: we buy it make it part of the US, then
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: you're going to have to give them two senators. You're
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: gonna have to give them. Congressmen, you're going to have
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: to pay the welfare for most of the people on Greenland.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: And it's only about fifty seven thousand people, but they're
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: on some kind of welfare. Hey. Now, once again, the
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: idea of buying Greenland or owning Greenland, or making part
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: of the US that is not a Trump policy. That's
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: been the official policy of the United States for one
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty years. One hundred and fifty years. Lots
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: of presidents have tried to get Greenland. The last most
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: serious attempt was Harry Truman, who offered I think it
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: was a billion dollars, which back then nineteen forty nine
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: or whatever was a staggering amount of money. But it's
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: always been US policy to get Greenland. This is not
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: a Trump policy. But it was just fine for all
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: these years trying to get Greenland. But as soon as
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: it was Trump, this is terrible. All of a sudden,
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: everybody went crazy. Same thing with ice, the idea of
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: ice going into cities and snatching up illegals off the streets.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: That was Barack Obama. He did it all the time.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: And you know, he put in charge of it a
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: guy named Tom Holman, and you know, before Obama left office,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: he gave Tom Holman the Distinguished Service Award from the
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: federal government for what he did. So it goes on
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: all the time. It's just only bad when Trump does it.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: It was a great moment on CNN with Ben Ferguson
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: and the host I think was Abbey phillip Is screaming
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: at Ben Ferguson the idea of Ice going into what
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Ice is doing. He's never been good, it's always been controversial,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: and Ben Ferguson said that's not true. It was considered
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: great under Obama. In fact, you guys at CNN did
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: ride alongs. That's true. The video has emerged back when
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Obama was doing the same exact thing. CNN covered it
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: and showed how brilliant this was, how great this was.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Look at it what Obama is getting done. They did
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: ride along videos. Look at how they're rounding up. This
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: is great. But as soon as it's Trump, it's a disaster.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: It's awful. Hey, the crazy protesters who broke into that church,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: stopped the service, stop the ceremony. The two ringleaders have
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: been arrested. Now they're going to probably get Don Lemon.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: At some point it went before some left wing judge
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: who tossed it out said you can't arrest Don Lemon
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: for this. It's just some crazy left wing judge. They'll
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: appeal the whole thing. The Attorney General herself, Pam Bondi,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: has flown to Minnesota to get this thing going.
• 38:09
  Speaker 14: Religious liberty is under siege in our country right now,
• 38:13
  Speaker 14: and we are not going anywhere until those people who
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: did those acts are held accountable.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. No, the yelling about freedom of speech, freedom to protest,
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: First Amendment, it's all great, but that means you can
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: stand outside and yell. You cannot enter the church. It's
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: actually says in the law you cannot go into a
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: house of worship and do anything to intimidate or interfere
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: with a church service. It's illegal. It's a crime. So
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: they've arrested the two ringleaders and here's Paul Murrow, the
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: security expert.
• 38:45
  Speaker 15: It is going to be very very little that they
• 38:48
  Speaker 15: can do in defense of this because it's on filming.
• 38:50
  Speaker 15: But for once, they didn't cover their faces. Now Here
• 38:52
  Speaker 15: is the thing that's going to come out of this.
• 38:54
  Speaker 15: You have her under her arrest. Now you're going to
• 38:56
  Speaker 15: get the communications and this is where it starts to spider.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Whereabout you start to see who's talking to.
• 39:01
  Speaker 15: Who, who showed up in regard including Don Lemon. How
• 39:05
  Speaker 15: much did they all know going in? That imports things
• 39:07
  Speaker 15: like conspiracy charges, which can be quite quite heavy.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's where they're going to start. Now they've
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: got the two ring leaders, they'll start to get everybody
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: else under arrest.
• 39:17
  Speaker 15: Not only did that come out in the video and
• 39:20
  Speaker 15: that they said something like that in the church, but
• 39:22
  Speaker 15: then after the fact Lemon talks about exactly that, putting
• 39:26
  Speaker 15: a racial overtone in the whole thing, which potentially could
• 39:30
  Speaker 15: import a hate crime.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Nah, that's interesting. Lemon could be charged also with hate crime.
• 39:34
  Speaker 15: There is a job career protester and it has developed
• 39:38
  Speaker 15: over the last let's say a dozen years or so
• 39:41
  Speaker 15: into a very lucrative industry, and you have people who
• 39:44
  Speaker 15: do this for a living, make a ton of money.
• 39:47
  Speaker 15: They weaponize people who don't know any better, to use
• 39:50
  Speaker 15: the Leninist term, useful idiots. They're looking for any cause
• 39:53
  Speaker 15: in the world. They get them out of the campuses
• 39:55
  Speaker 15: pretty good.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Hey, the Clintons are in tremendous legal jeopardy. They have
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: defied a congressional subpoena. They have refused to testify, and
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: when you do that, you go to prison. That's what
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: happened to Steve Bannon, That's what happened to Peter Navarro.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: They refused to testify. When they got the subpoena in
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: front of Congress, they went to prison. So you could
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: actually send the Clintons to prison. They've actually done exactly
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: what Steve Bannon did, exactly what Navarro did. Here's crazy goofy,
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Hakim Jeffries.
• 40:29
  Speaker 16: If COMA tries to bring this resolution, he wants to
• 40:33
  Speaker 16: lock Hillary Clinton up, consistent with what Donald Trump's been
• 40:38
  Speaker 16: saying now for ten years, lock her up, as opposed
• 40:42
  Speaker 16: to actually focusing on the things that matter for the
• 40:44
  Speaker 16: American people, then we'll deal with it appropriately.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: That's when you know they're in trouble. Instead of focusing
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: on what's important for the American people. When they put
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Trump on trial in four places, did Hakim Jeffrey say, hey,
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: focus on what's important for the American people now? Now,
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: the only argument protecting the Clintons is, well, Steve Bannon,
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: this is an ex president. It's different if it's an
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: next president. Well, not really. You put the arrested Donald
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Trump in four different places five thousand times. So apparently,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: according to the Merrick Garland Joe Biden standard, it's not
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: different when it's an next president. Hey, you know who died.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: I can't believe it. Uncle Floyd. You remember Uncle Floyd.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: Now there'll be plenty of people don't know what I'm
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: talking about, but plenty of people who do. Uncle Floyd
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: wasn't that old. He was seventy four. Floyd Vivino course
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: hosted that children's TV show for years. He also was
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: a great comedian and a great musician pianist. Uncle Floyd
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: gone at the age of seventy four. This is back
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: in the way, way way in the past, like a
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: way back into the eighties. When he has on UA Chef.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: You remember that there was regular TV and there was
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: UA Chef and on his case, I think was channel
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: sixty eight out of Jersey. You know, kids today you
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: wouldn't believe it. You had a TV that had an
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: antenna and there was channel two, four, five, seven, nine, eleven,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: and then there was UHF. You could switch over this
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: UHF where there was like a channel fifty in the channels.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: This sounds like the Flintstones. This sounds so primitive. It
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: sounds like cavemen who knew back then that within a
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: few years there'd be cable and two hundred channels, and
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: then years after that there'd be cable and six hundred channels.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: And I remember you had cable with six hundred channels
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: and there was still nothing to watch. You could have
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: eight hundred channels, You're still watching Law and Order reruns
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: and that's it. But then streaming begins and everybody forgets
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: about regular TV. Everything is streaming now. You know, it
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: used to be a big deal network TV. It means
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: absolutely nothing anymore. You know, you used to wait and
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: see if your favorite show got picked up for the
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: next year. They just announced all the renewals for next year. Tracker,
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: that's like the biggest show in network TV. Tracker got
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: the renewed. Mattlock got renewed. There's like a new Mattlock.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: It's not Andy Griffith. I think it's a woman this time.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Boston Blue got renewed, but only for eight episodes. That's
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: not a good saying. All the NCIS has got renewed.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Fire Country got renewed. That's everywhere now. This Fire Country,
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what the hell it is? Sydney Survivor.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: I don't even know most of these shows. Georgie and
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Mandy's first marriage, anybody know what that is? I don't
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: know the Amazing Race, I know what that is. Elizabeth
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: got Elsbeth got the renewed. Okay, So but again it
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean anything. Nobody watches network TV anymore. It's all streaming. Hey,
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump has announced a big lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: JP Morgan Chase being sued by Trump now for five
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: billion dollars. And he's got a great case. When he
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: was the ex president a few years ago, JP Morgan
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: Chase d banked him. In other words, they refused to
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: allow him to have a bank account. He had many
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: bank accounts there, not personally, but for his business. You're
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: talking about hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars,
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: and they threw them out of the bank. Now, if
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: you have a remember Trump has a major, major corporation.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: It's a global empire doing business all over the world.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: That's impossible to run a business without bank accounts. In fact,
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: when you're a business, you have many, many bank accounts.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: So to throw them out to dbank them, and then
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: other banks followed. Bank of America and other banks followed.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: So he couldn't believe it when it happened. How could
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: you be blacklisted from banks? You can't, how could you
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: stay in business? So it was a horrible, frightening thing
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: to do to a business. It wasn't just Trump. They
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: did it to a lot of conservatives. And Trump is
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: now suing them for five billion dollars. He most likely
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: will get a massive settlement. They'll probably settle with him
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: for a fortune, maybe even a billion dollars. Now. JP
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: Morgan Chase is a great company run by Jamie Diamond,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: best CEO in America. Why would they do such a thing.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: They wouldn't because it hurts the bank. Why would they
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: do it? The Biden administration forced them to. The Biden
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: administration threatened the banks. With everything in the world, they're
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: totally regulated and dependent on government. The Biden administration threatened
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: them and forced them to do it. This is the
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: other reason for the lawsuit to get this to come
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: out in court. Now, Democrats may go to JP Morgan
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: Chase and make them settle this because they don't want
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: Democrats don't want this coming out in court that they
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: played this kind of game, the Shenanigans. So we'll see
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: what happens. No matter how it turns out, Donald Trump
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: will be getting a hell of a payday from this. Hey,
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: we'll take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: to two to one zero seven ten is the number.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Give w oar a bre said on the iHeartRadio app
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: to hear Mark Simone and all the WR hosts in
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: an instead. Now back to the Mark Simo show on WOR.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: Well, let's take some calls. Let's go to uh Frank
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: in Arizona. Frank, how you doing well?
• 46:23
  Speaker 9: Mark?
• 46:23
  Speaker 17: Mark?
• 46:24
  Speaker 9: I was a huge Uncle Floyd fan back in the
• 46:27
  Speaker 9: seventies when I was twenty six years old. He announced
• 46:29
  Speaker 9: my birthday and I wanted Uncle Millton's an arm, and
• 46:33
  Speaker 9: all the answer were dead when I got this. But
• 46:36
  Speaker 9: his show was kind of like a stupy stale show,
• 46:38
  Speaker 9: you know. It was kind of people will goof it
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: up in the back line. You could hit him talking
• 46:41
  Speaker 9: and he just one goofy thing after another. He did characters,
• 46:45
  Speaker 9: but yeah.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: You're right, it was of a kind of a very local,
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: very minor league copy of the Soupy Sales Show. That's
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: what it was.
• 46:52
  Speaker 9: Oh, absolutely, and Mark, I love Vincent?
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: You love who the Vincent?
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: Oh buddy Vincent?
• 46:59

• 47:46
  Speaker 9: should fly their flags at half mass. And anyone who
• 47:50
  Speaker 9: doesn't know Uncle Floyd should go on YouTube and check
• 47:53
  Speaker 9: them out.
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: It was my hero when I was a teenager.
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: Well, you see, that's interesting. Uncle Floyd died. I announced
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: it before. I'm thinking to myself, a lot of people
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: people know who Uncle Floyd. Uncle Floyd touched a lot
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: of lives. I'm trying to think if I I met
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: him a few times. Actually, remember I used to do
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: the Saturday night show, The Oldie Show. He was on
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: that a couple of times. He was a guest. I'm
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: trying to remember. I think I was on the Uncle
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: Floyd Show once somewhere in the eighties, and I remember
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: doing a some benefit somewhere with him where I think
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: I was the MC and he was on the show.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: He's a very nice guy in real life. Let's go
• 48:27

• 49:31
  Speaker 17: and kudos to Vincent.
• 49:33
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 49:33
  Speaker 17: I want to talk about our new governor. What they
• 49:36
  Speaker 17: did those two clowns and uh Trenton. They doubled our
• 49:42
  Speaker 17: energy costs and now she's going to put a cap
• 49:44
  Speaker 17: on it to be the hero.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's going to be a mess. But you guys
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: are used to it in New Jersey. You keep collecting
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: these crazy idiots. Yeah.
• 49:55
  Speaker 17: And uh, when is uh Nick Shirley going to come
• 49:59
  Speaker 17: to New.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: Here? Yeah, that's the other problem, you know. New Jersey
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: is just waste and fraud and bloat. That's why your
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: taxes are so high. If you got Nick Shirley and
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: Elon Musk going to bring there to clean it up,
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: doge the whole thing, your taxes would be about one
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: third of what they are now. And if you didn't
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: know who this woman was, if I just played this
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: clip here, if I didn't tell you who this was,
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: would you think this is a governor of a state.
• 50:24
  Speaker 18: I would encourage everyone to, you know what, have a
• 50:28
  Speaker 18: great family day at home this weekend, play some born games.
• 50:32
  Speaker 18: Don't go out in this.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you see, if you're the mayor or the governor,
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to put on that jacket, you know, that snowjacket,
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: that official jacket, and sound very serious and lay out everything.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: They'll be over two thousand salt spreaders. We'll be doing this,
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: We'll be doing that. You're supposed to sound very official, authoritative,
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: like you've got everything planned. You're not supposed to just
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: be goofy.
• 50:53
  Speaker 18: And I would encourage everyone to, you know what, have
• 50:56
  Speaker 18: a great family day at home this weekend. Pay some
• 51:00
  Speaker 18: board games.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: Don't go out. Did they play board games anymore? You do?
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine when you got eight million TV channels,
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: when you got eight thousand streaming services, when you got
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: your phone, your laptop, who's going to play a board game?
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: But I guess people do. Hey, Sunday, you got two
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: great football games that will help. Let's go to Mario
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: in New Jersey. Mario, how you doing?
• 51:24
  Speaker 13: Oh, good morning, Mark, thanks for taking my call. Listen,
• 51:28
  Speaker 13: I'm sorry about Uncle Floyd's passing.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: By this Uncle Floyd turns out to be the biggest
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: story of the day.
• 51:34
  Speaker 13: It is, and I got to my memories of him.
• 51:37
  Speaker 13: Or when I back in the seventies, I was in
• 51:40
  Speaker 13: the army in Fort Dix, and before we went down
• 51:44
  Speaker 13: on maneuvers or whatever, we'd sit in the rec room
• 51:47
  Speaker 13: and everybody, all these soldiers and all their uniforms, we'd
• 51:50
  Speaker 13: all be watching Uncle Floyd.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: I can't think of anything more inspiring. Are you supposed
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: to be watching like Paton the movie or something, But
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: you're watching Uncle That's it, boy. But a lot of
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: people remember this guy. Let's go to Bill in Lafayette,
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: New Jersey. Bill, how you doing.
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: Okay? Mark? I graduated high school with Looney Skip Rooney,
• 52:10
  Speaker 9: who was a sidekick on the Uncle Floyd's show, and
• 52:14
  Speaker 9: he would invite me on the show just to watch
• 52:16
  Speaker 9: once in a while. So I used to bawl at
• 52:18
  Speaker 9: Eagle Rock and I walked over to the recording studio
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: and I talked to Skiff and a couple other people,
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: and they had this guest waiting in the hallway. So
• 52:30
  Speaker 9: I walked down and I thought it was tiny Tim,
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: but I was mistaken. But they introduced him on the
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: show later on, and it was Howard Stern. I'm going, oh, yeah,
• 52:41
  Speaker 9: who the hell is this guy?
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: I forgot about that. Howard Stern was on the Uncle
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: Floyd show. Yeah, absolutely, back in the eighties. So Uncle Floyd,
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: it was Looney Skip Rooney, and then who else was
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: on the show? I'm trying to remember.
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: Mister Silly.
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah, was one of my favorites, the fat guy that
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: always eats a toast at the diner, and a couple
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: other guys. It's hard to remember, but it was a
• 53:07
  Speaker 9: great show. Was it was silly, it was goofy, it
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: was funny, it was entertaining, and Looney Skip Rooney was
• 53:14
  Speaker 9: a goof I actually tied with him as the funniest
• 53:19
  Speaker 9: guy in the high school, but he beat me out
• 53:21
  Speaker 9: by a couple of points.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't sound like the bar was too high
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: in this high school for that time. All right, Well,
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: thanks for calling, great call. Yeah, So now a lot
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: of people remember Uncle Floyd. He passed away at the
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: age of seventy four. Hey, when we come back, Steve
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: Cuso the great New York Post commas. He covers real estate, restaurants,
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: what's going on in New York, what's the state of
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: the city, tourists, office space, restaurants. We'll get to all
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: of that coming up next on seven to ten wor.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Marnimone on seven ten WR.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Well, looking for Steve Cuzo. We'll find him, We'll track
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: him down. The snow is coming. It's going to begin
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: after midnight on Saturday, could be as early as one am,
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: more likely around three or four am on Saturday night.
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: So we'll start when you wake up Sunday. It'll be snowing.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: It'll continue all day long, all days, just won't stop,
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: and it'll go overnight Sunday night into Monday. Might stop
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: Monday morning, but then come back just a little Monday afternoon,
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: and then by the time it's all over. Expects six
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: to eight inches. There's various models. One model shows four inches,
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: one shows twelve, but most of them showing six to
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: eight inches. So it'll be a mess. Hey, Steve Cuzo
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: is the great columnist New York Post. Nobody better on
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: real estate restaurants, and what's going on in New York.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: Steve Cuzo, how you doing?
• 54:55
  Speaker 8: Hey, good morning.
• 54:56
  Speaker 19: I can't wait for this blizzard because I have a
• 55:00
  Speaker 19: could source, Mark that tells me there's going to be
• 55:03
  Speaker 19: no inches.
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know who that source is.
• 55:07
  Speaker 19: It's another one of these overhyped phenomena, you know, I
• 55:11
  Speaker 19: don't know.
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: It looks like from our best weather people, it's locked
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: in at this point. It's not gonna I know, I know,
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 55:17
  Speaker 8: Here we go.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, Hey, Yeah, from what I can see from your
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: columns you're reporting and everything else I can see in here,
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: Manhattan real estate is booming.
• 55:26
  Speaker 8: Is that really the Yeah, it's yeah, it's not.
• 55:29
  Speaker 19: It's the whole city, but especially Manhattan's a phenomenon. You know,
• 55:33
  Speaker 19: last night, I don't know if you were there, Mark,
• 55:36
  Speaker 19: but it was a Real Estate Board of New York's
• 55:39
  Speaker 19: annual gala event, biggest party in real estate and at
• 55:44
  Speaker 19: the it was at the Waldorf Astoria, and which was
• 55:47
  Speaker 19: a great thing because they for one year they didn't
• 55:50
  Speaker 19: do it because of COVID. Then three years was at
• 55:53
  Speaker 19: this event space on the far West Side that nobody
• 55:56
  Speaker 19: wanted to go to. And so now it's back in
• 55:59
  Speaker 19: full for us at the Waldorf for the first time.
• 56:01
  Speaker 19: And you know, the Waldorf is the new Waldorf is
• 56:04
  Speaker 19: quite spectacular, and it was a party.
• 56:07
  Speaker 8: It was a celebration.
• 56:09
  Speaker 19: Had all these real estate people, both commercial and residential,
• 56:13
  Speaker 19: having a blast, and they were well dressed, and it
• 56:16
  Speaker 19: really felt like a celebration. That said, you know, when
• 56:19
  Speaker 19: I worried about Trump, when I worried about Mamdani, when
• 56:22
  Speaker 19: I worried about you know whatever, Greenland, we had a great.
• 56:27
  Speaker 8: Year and they did.
• 56:29
  Speaker 19: You know, there were a record number of excuse me,
• 56:33
  Speaker 19: commercial market which I cover, leasing was over the moon
• 56:38
  Speaker 19: building sales which had really lacked behind the leasing improvement
• 56:42
  Speaker 19: over the since the end of the pandemic. And last
• 56:46
  Speaker 19: year it was like eleven billion dollars of investment sales,
• 56:51
  Speaker 19: which means that's the term for sales of buildings and
• 56:56
  Speaker 19: selling office buildings. First time in five year years there
• 57:00
  Speaker 19: was a sale for over a billion dollars five ninety
• 57:04
  Speaker 19: Park Avenue on Madison Avenue. So real estate is doing
• 57:09
  Speaker 19: phenomenally well. The only thing I don't believe is doing
• 57:11
  Speaker 19: as well as they say is retail. You know, I
• 57:16
  Speaker 19: get tired of reading all these wonderful surveys by all
• 57:18
  Speaker 19: the brokerages, by the Business Improvement districts, by the Real
• 57:22
  Speaker 19: Estate Board of New York itself, about how you know,
• 57:25
  Speaker 19: record retail leasing, this that, and I walk around and.
• 57:29
  Speaker 8: I see gazillions of empty stores. But you know, it's
• 57:32
  Speaker 8: a matter of there's a lot of nuance.
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: But that real estate, real estate stuff. That's not a
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: factor of Mandani or leadership. That's just retail diying.
• 57:41
  Speaker 8: No, no, no, Also residential sales.
• 57:44
  Speaker 19: This is not my field of expertise, as you know,
• 57:46
  Speaker 19: but from everything I'm told and everything I read in
• 57:49
  Speaker 19: the post and elsewhere, a great year for the residential market.
• 57:54
  Speaker 19: Super high sales of luxury condos and co ops, co
• 57:59
  Speaker 19: ops to the real rally after a couple of years
• 58:02
  Speaker 19: of playing second fiddle to condos. A lot of people
• 58:05
  Speaker 19: don't want co ops anymore, but they bounce back to
• 58:08
  Speaker 19: So yeah, it's a hell of a good sign for
• 58:11
  Speaker 19: the city as a whole, no matter what happens on
• 58:13
  Speaker 19: the social front.
• 58:14
  Speaker 8: You know, all the problems with the.
• 58:17
  Speaker 19: Schools, which Mondani is only likely to make worse.
• 58:22
  Speaker 8: So yeah, it was. It was a banner year.
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: One of those jentas is yelling everybody's leaving New York.
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: It's not true. It's not true, of course not.
• 58:30
  Speaker 8: It's never been true. And uh in the past. I
• 58:33
  Speaker 8: remember when when Trump.
• 58:34
  Speaker 19: Got elected, people everybody was leaving the country, remember that one.
• 58:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and then when you got reelected, there was there
• 58:40
  Speaker 8: was nobody left to leap because everybody had already left.
• 58:44
  Speaker 19: So yeah, these things. Look, you know, we've got to
• 58:47
  Speaker 19: sell papers. Broadcast media has to attract the viewers.
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 58:52
  Speaker 19: Social media just has to make a lot of noise
• 58:55
  Speaker 19: whenever they can. So uh yeah, I don't have any
• 58:59
  Speaker 19: good feelings whatever about Mamdani. And yet I think that
• 59:03
  Speaker 19: commercial real estate, especially is oblivious to this. The only
• 59:07
  Speaker 19: thing that could be harmful is if the governor, you know,
• 59:11
  Speaker 19: caves in and gives in too Mumdanni's pipe dream of
• 59:17
  Speaker 19: raising taxes on corporations and everything. She wouldn't do that
• 59:21
  Speaker 19: this year because she's up for reelection, but next year
• 59:24
  Speaker 19: the following year could be a problem.
• 59:26
  Speaker 8: But commercial real estate is so strong.
• 59:29
  Speaker 19: It's the driver of the New York economy, not just
• 59:32
  Speaker 19: the city, but the state, and it's a power behind
• 59:36
  Speaker 19: the entire national economy. Real estate taxes from real estate
• 59:42
  Speaker 19: contribute more to the city Treasury than any other than
• 59:47
  Speaker 19: anything else more than Wall Street, for example.
• 59:49
  Speaker 8: Most people don't know that, but it's a fact.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: So when you see stores closed, wait where you read
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: about the Sacks going bankrupt? This the only reason for
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: that is online. It has nothing to do with New York, right.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 19: Well, it has, it's online shopping is a factor. But
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 19: you notice that Bloomingdale's is doing fine, Macy's is doing fine.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 8: Nord Stream is having no problem.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 19: In the case of Sacks Global, the parents company which
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 19: includes Sacks and Nieman Marcus, which they stupidly bought about
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 19: a year and a half ago, and Burgdorf Goodman, the
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 19: only Burgdorf Goodman in the world is right here in
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 19: New York on Fifth Avenue, that was a lot of
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 19: mismanagement and a lot of needless over expansion.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 8: You know, retail is not my forte.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 19: But I do know I'm very skeptical of all large
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 19: sized mergers and acquisitions because inevitably any merger or acquisition
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 19: uh saddles the company with enormous debt, and they basically
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 19: served to. I mean, they can have their you know,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 19: good consequences as well. But I believe that I remember
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 19: aol Time Warner once upon a time. Right, all they
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 19: do is saddle the company with debt and they and
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 19: they enrich all the excuse me, all the inside players,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 19: corporate executives, investment bankers, lawyers, accountants, consultants.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 8: At the expense of everybody else. Anyway, in the case
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 8: of Sacks, the stores aren't going to close.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 19: I mean they are going to close a few stores
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 19: outside of New York, yes, but it looks like they're
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 19: on their way to restructuring. They're getting a cash or
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 19: liquidity infusion, and presumably life and business will go on
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 19: here as it did in the past, at least from
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 19: the consumer's point of view. If you go to Sacks
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 19: right now, they're stretching the merchandise. You can see it
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 19: on the shelves, but because they weren't paying their vendors.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 8: But I think that's going to change.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: Hey, Steve Kisser, there's a lot of skyscrapers going up.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: I mean one hundred stories, seventy story, sixty stories, They're
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: going up all over the place, fifty seventh Street, Park Avenue, Addison.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: So can we handle all that extra traffic here?
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 8: You mean, do you mean crowding? Mark?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: What do yours?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 8: Ye?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 19: New York has always been overcrowded. I say, the more overcrowding,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 19: the better. It's it means life, it means people spending money. Uh,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 19: it makes it's what makes the city exciting, why people
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 19: want to come here, where they want to be here.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 19: So over the Christmas holidays, you know, my office is
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 19: two blocks away from the Rockefeller Center tree, and I
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 19: hated every minute of it, of the six weeks between
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 19: roughly Thanksgiving and you know, right after New Year's and.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 8: Because you couldn't move on the streets.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 19: I couldn't literally couldn't get into the subway right next
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 19: door to my building because I had to fight my
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 19: way through crowds.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 8: And yet that's a selfish concern.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 19: The bigger picture is that it's it's life, it's energy,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 19: and it's commitment, and it's well for New York City.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 8: So I'm a I'm all for that.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you got a lot of hot new restaurants that
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: are I mean, have we ever had this many jam
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: Peck restaurants in New York?
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 19: It depends the good restaurants, the important restaurants, the ones
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 19: that are backed by big money. I think I'd never
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 19: done better. There's a squeeze in the middle and at
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 19: the lower end. You know, everybody's oh, the rent is
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 19: too high. All that rent has always been too high.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 19: But every Basically, what it comes down to is every
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 19: place that I go, which is by no means you know,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 19: the the the only the elite restaurants, as you might think,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 19: I go to all kinds of restaurants.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 8: It's hard to get a table anywhere. And this is January.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 19: January is traditionally the worst month for restaurants in New York.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 19: I mean, in the past, you could have gotten seats
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 19: at when Noble was in its original location and the
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 19: hottest restaurant in like the country.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 8: You could easily get tables at Noble the week oft
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 8: from the month of January. That's not true anymore.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 19: And I've been to excuse me, nickid restaurants like Lusardies
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 19: on First Second Avenue the other night and they're all packed.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 8: And this is it was about twelve degrees out. Yeah,
• 1:04:17
