• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Well, it's he's an ex governor. But you're right, it's
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: it's like a ponderous lecture. He's like everybody's a student
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and he's got to lecture you. You debated this guy.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: What did you think when you were debating him about
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: that style?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: God, you know, it's I honestly, I just want to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: take a sharp object and shove it in my ears
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: so I don't have to listen to him. It's just
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: so brutal, and that cadence and that I don't even
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: know what kind of accent is it. It's not I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: know it's from Queen's but I don't even know what
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: kind of accent he has.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, the only guy born in America, grew
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: up in New York. It has a foreign accent. What
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the And then he does that thing where he asked
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: himself questions, now, no, no, why do I say that? Well?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's a philosopher. Yeah he's he's Socrates Andrew.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: And then he talked to you like you're a moron,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: he said, And we don't. It's a violation. Now, what
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: do we mean when we say violation.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: He's like a professor. Could you imagine having him paying
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: for him to go tell you about the world?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And uh so, but uh like during his years, three
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: people ran against him. Didn't you come closer than anybody?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I think you did, right, I did?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Other than Lee? Well, yeah, yeah, that's true. I mean
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Lee didn't run against him, but yes I did. But
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: you know it wasn't enough. But we we've been proven
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: right on just about every issue we talked about.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Then he looked at everybody lie to us and looked,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you know, talk down to us. And in that time,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you know, everyone has gotten the hell out of there.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I'm actually I'm talking to you right now from Dallas.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I'm in Texas, have been for six days now. I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: was covering this Texas Republican primary, which is pretty interesting.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: But it's such a different way of life now. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: know you, Mark, You're like, I hate Florida.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Bye, I love you. The thing about it. I feel like,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: for six days I shouldn't have to pay income taxes
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: in New York because there's no taxes where I am.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Right now, everything is like, you know, normally priced. The
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: people are nice.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I was driving the other day, literally the speed limit
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: is eighty and I'm driving ninety and I'm like, everyone's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: passing me.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I love it. Okay, Okay, there's no taxes. You't gonna
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: drive ninety. That's great, but you're missing five hundred thousand
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: things that are in New York that aren't there.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was walking around yesterday. Now I'm literally in
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: downtown Dallas, and it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Was like five o'clock at night, rush hour, and I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: could have just walked across each eat with my eyes
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: closed and I would not have.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Been in danger of being hit by a car. And
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I was just thinking about that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Like, in New York, no matter what time, you better
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: look all over the place because either a scooter's gonna
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: hit you, a Cabby's gonna hit you, an uber is
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: gonna hit you, a guy is gonna hit you with
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a hammer, you know whatever.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: But here, it's such a different world. It really and
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: truly is. It's they they do have everything here.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: But it's not good for you. It's not good for you.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: You know, you want to Hey, you're gonna get older
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: down there, you know. You cross the street and everything's
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: coming at you and you got a duck and dodge.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: It keeps you young, it keeps you active, It keeps.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: You quick on your feet.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: You're right. You ever see those old people the way
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: they walk in Florida?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Here in New York the old guy will knock you
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: over in New Yorker.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, No, I don't do the shuffle thing. But
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: you got to learn that when you get to Florida,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: and you got to learn.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: How to basically have your head just to bolt just
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: below the steering wheel and drives thirty in the left fo.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: On ninety five. Yes, that's what you got to do
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: when you get to Florida.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, speaking of Texas, so why is it why the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Republicans having a tough time in Texas in these races.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a three way primary. Cornyon, who's the incumbent
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: senator here is going for a fifth term, and Ken Paxton,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: who's the Attorney general really loved by Maga. It's a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: three way race. But it looks like Paxson's gonna win it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: But you got to get over fifty percent. So now
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't, which you probably won't, there'll be a
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: primary runoff. They've already spent one hundred million dollars wasted,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and then they're gonna have to do it again one
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: hundred million probably, you know, in the next two months.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And all this money could have been spent around the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: country for other Republicans. But Crockett, you know, the lunatic
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: on the left. She's running in the Democratic primary here,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and it's an open primary, so people can vote in
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: either party. You have Republicans who are crossing over and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: voting for Crockett because they want her. They want her
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to be the Democratic nominee because that'll basically lock it
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: up in November.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you've been through this process. The primary is still
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: a good idea, right, It's better than the the boss
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: is picking a candidate, isn't it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, Look, it would be very hypocritical of me
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: because the bosses picked somebody, you know, the Zelden in
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and I and Andrew Giuliani and Harry
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Wilson ran a primary, you know, And I'm totally fine
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: with that. That's the process, and I think, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the party, the party people, actually the voters should be
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: able to pick their candidates.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Rob Baster and let me just ask you a
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: county executive question. It's it's pothole season. I start to
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: see these potholes opening up. Now, what is That's because
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the at the end of winter, the ice, the freezing,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the salt, everything ruined. The roads creates these potholes.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it expands, it contracts. It's just you know, the
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: plows just destroy everything. The curbs get all ripped up.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Oh but wait a minute, if you're in Texas, they
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: don't do that the roads. Let me just look at
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the oh the roads look okay, actually.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's because there's no traffic. But hey,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: if there was a pothole in the driveway at mar
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: A Lago an hour later, it would be filled and fixed.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: So why can't governments do that?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Because government is supposed to be on a good day,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: just below average, on a normal day, just completely an addition.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: That's the way it's based.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you can't it be like a pothole
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: truck just going around filling them wherever they it is.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: In fact, the other night when I was driving, I
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: was in Houston. I had to drive up to Fort Worth, right,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: so it's like a three and a half.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Hour drive, and I'm on I forty five going up
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I look and there are
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: there's a caravan of construction trucks ahead of me. And
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I stayed in this caravan for about ten miles or
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: almost forty five minutes going eight miles an hour, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: then some rock hit me and I have a like
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a seven inch you.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Know, boom right in my windshield. It's a crack. That'll
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: be fun when I go to rent a car.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, hey, we're almost out of time. So
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: you were the Republican candidate for government that came very close,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: leez Eldon came very close. What about Bruce Blakeman, Well,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: he'd be the greatest governor. Does he have a good shot.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: He's got a shot, there's no question.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And you know what the biggest sleeper issue it's not crime, okay,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: because there's a lot of people in the suburbs.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: They don't feel unsafe, Okay.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: The big issue, the sleeper issue that affects everybody is energy.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: High costs. High electricity costs. They're going crazy, They're going
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: to get higher. I think it's a really big crossover
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: issue for him.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and most of that was caused by Cuomo and Hokel.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah, yep.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: And there's the Green New Deal in New York closing
