  Speaker 2: you again for having me on the on the podcast,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and it looks like at least numbers wise, it may
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: have paid off.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean you're a big, big shot now, a
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: big shot funny nomber Billy Joel's song That's it.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: No, I was not. I was nervous. I'm like, I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was like, I can't get killed by Janeine Piro or
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Rob Schneider or Steve Shapiro or Lindsey Graham. I got
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: it with Leaf. Shapiro's like, I got it at least
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: be competitive. So I was, as you know, I called
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you once or twice. I was actually checking the numbers
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: every day.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you have a very good story to tell.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: We told it, and you know, on a number of
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: different levels. So I appreciate you doing it. Now we
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: got Chazz and Tenim and Terry Uh he drops today,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: nice and he's got some very interesting stories. Nobody he's
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: ever heard about his climb from the Bronx to prominence.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Do you realize his show a Bronx tale? And I
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: don't know if you've seen it, but it's brilliant, It
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: really is. I have many times thirty seven years that
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: long Wood show has been viable. Yeah, thirty and he's
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: going to London to do it in Lester Square to
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: the show.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, And I go.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Why would people in London want to care about Bronx
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Italian guy, you know, trying to write the ship. It's
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: got that quality about it. And he's a good guy,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: you know, in Chaz loves a good guys.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Love them. And because of that show, there was a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: great movie with him and de Nero. There was an
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: amazing Broadway show that And.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: See Daniarra doesn't he doesn't run around on a movie set.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: So with his crazy philosophy. Uh and Chad as the
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: first guy who told me that he doesn't try to impose,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: you know, his nutty view of life. De Niro's uh yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: little least.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: To me for a second. But the reason why is
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: because a Bronx tale was made long before Donald Trump
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: was president, and even the staunchest of Democrats were not
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: retorted like they are now. That all came with President Trump.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: That's when the Nero lost his mind.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he was really far out there before Trump
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: come came on the scene as far as his view
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: of how the country should run. So anyway, I noted
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: your conversation with Steven A. He's making a few mistakes,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and I hope he's listening now because it's my job
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: in life to make sure that you, stephen A, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Culoma are all in positions to succeed. Much of times
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: you wandered off the path of success and I have
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: to drag you back on. I'm like a boy scout.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: So unlike sports, politics does not have a last game
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: approach in the sense that it doesn't matter what you
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: did in the last game. It doesn't matter at all.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: What matters is what you're doing now to win the
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: game today that you're playing. So, yeah, you hit two
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: home runs on Monday, nobody cares about that on Wednesday.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Not the same in politics. So what President Trump is
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: facing now is that he's got to do two things.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Number one, bring the Iranian situation to a successful conclusion. Now.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: No matter what he does, the Trump haters are going
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: to say it's a lousy deal and he blew it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: But most Americans aren't under that banner. If he gets
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: a treaty or whatever they want to call it and
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: says weapons inspectors are going to get in there and
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: we're gonna blunt this nuclear ambition, that's a win.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Let me because I agree with the first part. Okay,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: but again, what I keep popping on because you're saying
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: it's a win is time matters. It does matter.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: But listen to me. So that's a win. Now, whether
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: the campaign to get there was worth the win, they
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: call it a pyrrhic victory. Okay that yeah, Okay, we won,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: but it wasn't worth the price. That's what Trump has
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: to calculate, and that's why it's such a difficult situation
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: now for him.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: So is it fair then, even if you love Trump,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: black I do to worry about the last portion you
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: just mentioned that it's taking too long, or that it
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: costs too much or all of those things.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: And that's what that's what he's keeping him up at night.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: So he knows he's got five months to convince the
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: American people that his administration is better for them. And
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: he's got a big advantage because the Democrats are ridiculous,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: and so there aren't people clamoring for any Democratic politician.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: And in the House and Senate runs it's the same thing.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: So all of these people tie themselves to progressive policies
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: which have turned out to be disastrous. Across the boers,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: there's really nothing no root for there. But if Trump
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: gets his victory, then you definitely will see the economy
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: just explode in a good way. So the oil price
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: are going to will go down, pleasure will go down,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: all of these things will happen because they're artificially pumped up.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: This is not real. This is just well, we're charging
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: dollars a gallon because Ron, you know, is doing X
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: and so truck does have he can get momentum to
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: swing into November, so for Stephen and his wax. And
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: then I'm coming back and saying that's a tough bet.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: That is a very tough bet. But he's got to
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: win it soon because it's growing anger and anger is
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: hard to dissipate. So people are going, look, I don't
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: understand this anyway, and they don't, okay, and now I
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: got to pay all this money. And Trump told me
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: he's going to do no foreign wars. That's all they
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: can think about, and they repeat it over and over
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and over and over. So Trum knows you got to
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: get out of there. And that brings me back to
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: my initial point. And you'll remember this, I said, when
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: this hard sorry beginning. I also had a conversation with
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: the President about it. This is your biggest gamble ever.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: This is hora any thing, because not like that zuela.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: It's not even like China. I mean, these people have
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: nothing to lose. They don't care whether their own people
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: die or starve. It's like the Chinese in nineteen forty nine.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Now they took killed ten million of their own people.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: He did not care. It's the same mentality. So you're
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: not dealing with somebody who wants a deal. Not make
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: a deal. You could force them. And I noticed a
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: French aircraft carrier, the only one they have, I think
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: it's named the Cruisan, is now going to the Persian Gulf.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: So behind the scenes, Trump's making progress in uniting somewhat,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: and we'll see how the Pope conversation goes the world
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: against Iran, which is the key.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: The Pope conversation has become interesting too, because now Marco
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Rubio got involved and is trying to I guess broke
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: a peace.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Guy to have involved. Yeah, you don't want, Haig said
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: over there, you know, throwing water on the pole. That's
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: not good. We don't want that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: No, we don't, No, we don't. So this overwhelming is
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: really his theme stephen A was that in his mind
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: at least, and he's still Nicks first. But he's a
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: smart guy, very smart in his mind at least. The
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Republicans have already lost the midterms, and it wasn't just Iran.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: He talked a lot, Bill o'willy about something you've actually
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: criticized before, and that is the president's decorum. Was he
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: overstating that?
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think that anybody who voted for Donald Trump
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: really cares about the decorum issue. How could they? So
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: he's run three times and he had seventy seven million
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: voters the last time around, Waxing Comma, I don't think
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: one of those people gives a hoot about is to
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: korum because they all know that he's bombastic. That's why
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: he's where he is, right, So why would that factor in? Now?
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Are you just figuring it out as the guy is
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: bella cos sometime right?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I know it's stupid. Hey, let me ask you this.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: If Ken Griffin called you today, he should because you're
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: a very respectful guy, very successful guy. One of the
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: great New Yorkers. Are in line up all the great
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: New Yorkers, You're right there at the top, Bill, and
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: he said, listen, man, this six billion, this mayor is
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: really a jerk, and he put my life in danger.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: He did a video in front of my house. And
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: there are cities like Miami, which Billoldo you know very well,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: that'll be gracious, and they want the money there. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: why am I going to waste my time with this guy?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: He's five point four billion in the hole and for
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: some any bills that need to embarrass me, what should
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I do? What would Bill o'whiley say.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I'd say move, you know, I mean, ma'm DOMI is
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: not going to change like Trump, not going to change.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: He's a communist. He's like mister men, you know, we
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: gotta we got a idea in these communists. I think
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: if Philly fanatics are communists, but I'm not sure. So
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: you know, look, Grifven's standing there and he's got an
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: enormous operation. And when you have enormous wealth and uh resources,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: you can take and choose where you want to be,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: all right, that's America. And so why would you got
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: some guy yelling outside your window when you hate you,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: you capitalist pig? Okay, well you can hate me from Afar,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: a good town, and they my money. It's the same money. Yeah,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: and uh, you know, maybe you'll wise up someday, so
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: but I don't. I'm not. You know, handing's on me
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: all the time about moving out of New York. I
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: can't move out and business and and all that. But
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: even if I could move out of New York, I
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: don't really want to move out in New York. I mean,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: this is my legacy here, this is the home team
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: where I am. Now I'm a different city on Nassau
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: County in Suffolk, so I'm not dealing with the city craziness.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: But I don't. I don't want to flee the state.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And that's what makes me angry about the leadership from
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Albany into New York City because they don't care whether
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: I leave.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: What do you mean, they're encouraged actually actually get on
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: a plane.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I stand corrected. They'd love to have me out of here, Okay,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: because I'm a capitalist pig right. You know what some
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: ally flashed back to nineteen sixty eight. You know, I'm X,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Y and Z and you are successful, So you're evil.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: I mean that's the kind of mentalities people bring.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Unreal. Yeah you're a success. Yeah, it's terrible. So one
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: more being that you are from Nassau County. Your Nassau
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: County Executive Bruce Blateman was in the Oval Office with
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: President Trump for ninety minutes yesterday and they discussed a
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: variety of issues. He's gotten overwhelming endorsements from President Trump
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: in his race against Kathy Hkeel and look, he was
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: gaining quite a bit. Now he's down three points this week.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: To me, it's like radio ratings. I take it easy,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: don't make yourself crazy every day and every week. It
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: all comes out eventually. But you know, the ratings for
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: this week, at least the for Blakeman, he's down three points,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: he's now down sixteen. What are your real thoughts on
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: his possibility of winning that race?
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Well, he could win the race, but he's got to
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: get that are known if you look at the polling
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: that most of New Yorkers don't know who he is.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: And that's going to take money, uh, to go and
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: visit every county and to you know, store up the
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: potential voters. And he said, look, this is what I've
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: done because I can attest and this is no politics
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: involved with this, nothing but DOS do a very good
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: job in Nassau County. And you know me, I mean,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm pretty critical. And as far as crime is concerned,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: UH has come as protecting people, UH, looking out to
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: what the best case scenario is for workers. And he's
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: done a very good job here. But people in Mohawk
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: in uh, you know the finger Links see New Yorkers,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: we don't. We think this is like why this is
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: the Yukon. Aren't the finger Lakes Alaska? We have no
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: idea where they are? Okay, they don't know Blakeman all right,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: and he's got to get known because this is what
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: could put him over the top. He's got to fight
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: the city vote and the city. I wouldn't spend a
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: day in there if I were him. You're not going
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: to get You'll get Staten Island, but you're not going
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: to get the other boroughs because the poor people want
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: stuff and stuff comes from the communists and man Don
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: is a communist. That's what it is.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Just now that you just knowed it exactly right. So
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: and he does do his fast share of travel up there.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I think it's understated what he does. But to your point,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: because I love the guy, Noam, did some of you
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: a couple of days ago where they asked people on
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the streets about Bruce didn't home. So if that's an
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: issue in Brooklyn or Manhattan, that's got to be a
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: major issue in Utica or Rochester there.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Right, And it's hard to travel by covered wagon up there.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: It takes a long time, and you know it's like
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: god less word. Oh is that the euree canal in
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: a way. It's beautiful, you said earlier in the program, Sarahtoga.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: You know, New York State's a beautiful state. Yeah, yeah,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, but you got some people they're they're you know,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: living in Lean two's and the Aaronecks, and it's hard
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: for them to get the message.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: It is rough. Yeah, Monticello's not great either. Listen, Bill,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: you're the the absolute greatest. I love these every throws down.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Next week, if I'm correct, you and I we are
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: going together to City Field, that's whatdy next week to
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: see the Mets and the Yankees.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's right, we're going. Uh and I have already
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: got a therapy session with mister Mett. We're going to
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: try to indoctrinate him out of the communist philosophy. Right,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: can use flash cards and we'll put in a few
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: people you know, like Felix Mantilla, and is this a communist?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Is he Felix Mantilla. It is going to be interesting
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: to see talk about mister Meht because I made such
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: a big deal about the overreaction when Mamdannie showed up,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: how he reacts when you and I walk into that stadium.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Haven't been there for a very very long time, but
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: as you know, I've had conversations with Steve Cohen and
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the Mets now, so that was a pretty big deal.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I wonder if mister met and Missus Meht, I mean serious,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: make it their business to make sure they give me
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the type of hello that Ma'm Donnie got.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if you want that time of hullo.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: But I heard that missus Mett he is going to
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Vegua as she's dumping them. And I heard that mister
• 17:47
