  Speaker 1: Mark sim On seventeen war. Hey a lot I get
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to this hour. If you're a Democratic voter, today is
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: primary day, just Democratic primary. Some big races in New
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: York City. That fat, waddling slob, Jerry Nadler leaving, such
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a ridiculous figure, such a ridiculous guy. But he's leaving.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people running for his seat, including
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Jack Schlossburg, who's that wacko Kennedy kid. He's a son
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of Caroline Kennedy and not the nicest person in the world.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: And then that terrible husband, Hers Schlosburg. This is their kid,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Jack Schlosberg. If you check his past his social media,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: he behaves like an absolute raving lunatic on social media,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: although I think he's taken down some of those post
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: But a nutty guy, perfect for Democrats. So he's got
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a good shot today. Now you got Dan Goldman, the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: congressman who's one of the most annoying guys in the world,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: mister fake news, makes all kinds of false claims on
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Sunday Shows. That kind of a guy. But he's running
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: against Brad Lander. Now Brad Lander is just as bad.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, if I had a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: pick between the let Lander and Goldman. I don't know
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you lose either way. They're just two horrible guys, but
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: they're running against each other. The Lander most people think
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it has a slight edge there and may win. Now.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie endorsed a bunch of candidates, obviously crazy socialist
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: left wing kooks. But it'll be interesting to see what
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: happens tonight to see if Mom Donnie has any coattails,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: has any influence, any sway with voters. So we'll find
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: out that tomorrow when this is all over. You heard
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that story in the news about The View. The View
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: is that wacky show on ABC in the middle of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the daytime. It's more like a game show. It's produced
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: as an entertainment show. It's joy behar and it used
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to be able to name the whole cast. Can't do
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that anymore. But the ABC is trying to get it
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: declared a news show. They only have. It used to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: be a well balanced show. Barbara Walters created The View,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Barbara Walters ran The View, and when Barbara Walters ran things,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you'd have Democrats on, you'd have Republicans on. Once Barbara
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Walters was gone, the show was hijacked by the kookie
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: left wing hosts and now it's a very left wing show,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: absolutely totally one sided, biased. But they wanted to be
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: declared a news show. That way they can have on
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: whoever they want, and it gives them some protections. The
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: problem is if they get it declared a news show.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You know, they're worried that the FCC is trying to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: come after them and all this, but once they've declared
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a news show, the FCC can come after them even more.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think they've realized they broadcast a lot of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: fake news on the View. You know, a lot of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the crazy, wacko, totally false talking points that many Democrats
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: use are all over the View. So if they get
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: themselves declared a news show and start broadcasting fake information,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: false information, the government can come after them. Remember Trump
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: has already won a massive lawsuit against ABC News for
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: false information that they broadcast. He won was it sixteen million?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: They had to pay him to make that go away,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: So keep an eye on that fight. If you're a Democrat,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: cover your ears for a minute, and I want you
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to hear this. You're not gonna like this, you know,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: let me just check it. The latest oil prices dropping
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: yet hit seventy two, almost seventy three, but it's in
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the very very very low seventies per barrel. Pre war
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it was in the high sixties, so it's almost back
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to pre war prices. Gas will be three fifty a
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: gallon by fourth of July. It's about three a national
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: average three seventy a gallon. You pay more here in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: New York California because that's all state fees, state charges,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: state tax timpting in California. But it's about three seventy
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a gallon all over the country, about to hit three
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: point fifty, which is what it was before the war.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Did you understand that Damason Square Gardens story that poor
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: guy fell from the top off this bridge one hundred
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and fifty feet into the seats and died. He was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: this video that has now come out of the emergency
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: responders frantically trying to save this guy. He was fifty
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: one years old. He was a dad from Connecticut and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: he worked in the energy business. I think he's married
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: his son. They wanted to go to this concert. Actually
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it's an energy management company, smart con Solutions. He was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: director of operations. They're from Niantic, Connecticut, and he was
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: celebrating his twenty fifth wedding anniversary. Oh, his wife was
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: with him too. With his wife, they went to the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Goose concert and he fell from what they call the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Chase Bridge because Chase, the bank, Chase is a sponsor.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: It's now called the Chase Bridge. Used to be called
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the skybridge. But you got the seats, you got all
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that stuff, and then way up above it's like a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: it's like a bridge that has seats on it, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you can watch from up there, and it has like
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a little glass wall that's about i don't know, four
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: four feet high, five feet high, four feet high. And
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: apparently he wanted to go to the bathroom. He told
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: his wife he'd be back. Started walking along that very
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: very long skybridge, and something happened and he fell over it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I mean it is dark, there's a concert going on,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and he fell over it, and the wife was getting worried.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Ten or fifteen minutes he hadn't come back from the bathroom.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And you know, you go to those concerts, that band
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: is so loud you can't hear anything, so nobody heard
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: all the commotion down below. Emergency workers frantically trying to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: save the guy plunged one hundred and fifty feet to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: his death and they couldn't save him. They took him
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to the hospital where he was declared dead, and then
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: they realized he was with people. They had to go
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: find his wife and tell her what happened. Unbelievable tragedy.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: So this skybridge, it's a walkway that suspended seven hundred
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and sixty four feet up above the stage, but the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: lower level below is about one hundred and fifty feet.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: The next level down is about one hundred and fifty
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: feet and that's where he fell. Just horrible, horrible story. Hey,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: if you didn't get in on the SpaceX ipo and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you wanted to get in, it was about what was it,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: one thirty five debuted at and it went up. It's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: come down a little, it's down about sixteen percent because
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: SpaceX has declared they're going to take on a lot
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of debt to finance new stuff. They're going to raise
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: about twenty billion in debt. They're going to sell bonds.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: They want to spend this money on AI. You know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you don't realize how much this AI cost. These companies
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: mean to develop all the AI stuff they need. They
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: got to go out and spend twenty thirty forty billion
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: on AI. So stock close at one fifty four yesterday,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: which gives it a market cap now two trillion, two
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars this company. Hey, remember we're talking about the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: golf tournament Long Island Shinnacock, the US Open. How bad
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the fans are in Long Island. They're not used to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a golf tournament where even the announcer whispers, you know,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the golf announcer actually talks like this. You're supposed to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: whisper at it golf. To me, this was your noise.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: But it's Long Island. So they hoot and holler. The
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: fans yell and scream, they heckle the players. Apparently the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Golf channel, the analyst said, Long Island fans put a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: stain on the game. They're unruly behavior. You know how
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: when Tiger would hit the ball they go getting the hold. Well,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: these fans were young getting a bunker. They were just
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: hackling and yelling and screaming. And apparently there's a movement
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: within golf world among players and others to ban Long
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Island from any having any more golf tournaments. I love
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Long Island, but they do get a little crazy, those
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: fans out there, So there might be let's see where
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: this goes. With all the people in golf pushing for this,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: there might be a ban on any more tournaments in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Long Island. They just can't take the fans out there.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Now there's a new phenomenon. Once in a while, someone
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: would get very, very hot and people would wait in
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the line. You know, if somebody had the best pizza,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: it'd be a little bit of a line, if somebody
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: had the best something, it's a little bit of a line. Well,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: now with Instagram, and this is really taken off in
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the last year. Something instantly becomes an Instagram phenomenon, Like
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you know Ferrara Pizza in Brooklyn, it's always very good.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: You'd have to wait. Well, now with Instagram, like eighty
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: seven thousand influencers posted and it's not just a line.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: It's a line of two blocks, and then they post
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a video of the line every day and when people
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: see the line, it goes even crazier. And it's been
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: going on now for a year where it just gets
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: crazier and crazier and crazier. Bubbies in Tribeca had those
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: great pancakes, those those James Beard pancakes with all the stuff,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the blueberry. They're very good. They're not the greatest pancakes,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: but they're very good. And sometimes you have to wait
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: ten minutes. Well, now with Instagram, everybody's put up those pancakes,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and now the line is a two and a half
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: hour wait. And this is happening everywhere, all over the place,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: with all kinds of things. The latest was dot cake.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Butterfield's Markets starts selling the dot cake. You got to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: line up and stay in line for two hours to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: get the stupidest little cake and a cup with sprinkles
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: all over it. And the line is the thing now.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And you know where a line used to be considered
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: an ugly thing, a bad thing. Remember the Seinfeld episode
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: where they had to wait for the whole episode. They'll
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: wait for like a half hour in a Chinese restaurant
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to sit down. It was something awful. They were miserable,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: they were frustrated, they were complaining. Well, this Instagram TikTok
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: phenomenon has changed everything. Now people enjoy the line. The
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: line is the thing. They'll look for a line to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: stand in. It's no longer a bad thing. When they
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: see whatever place is the hot thing with a line
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and a two hour weight, people flock to go be
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: in that two hour weight, whether it's dot cakes, whether
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it's certain pastries, whether it's a certain pasta. So it's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: no longer about convenience, it's about fomo fear of missing out.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So the weight itself has become part of the product.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: The line is the destination, according to this psychological analysis.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: In this concrete jungle that is now obsessed with exclusivity,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: scarcity has become a status symbol. If everyone can just
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: walk in and get it, it's not special. If you
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: gotta wait for two hours in a line, then it's special.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Then it's important. So and it's easy to do. You
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: know that dot cake, it's made by a company in
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Rosalin called dot Cake Butterfields, and it's only two three
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: days a week they have it. You got to wait
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: in the line, they give you a number. It's an
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: incredible phenomenon to watch and then you get it. It's okay,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it's not that great. And if you go into just
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the regular Butterfields Bakery section, they got fifty things that
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: are better than that dot cake. If you're in Connecticut,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: just go to Stu Leonards. He makes his own version
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: of it's probably actually a higher quality. There's no line,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you just walk in and get it. But that's not good.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: You gotta have everybody wants this line. If there's no
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: line around the block, if there's no two hour wait,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: can't be good. So hey, my friend Mitch Modell had
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a big press conference yesterday to announce he's making a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: comeback online. Remember Modell's Modell's Sporting Goods that were everywhere.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: There were one hundred and fifty three models all over
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the New York area. They had this great jingle that
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it was just everybody knows this. God go the loves,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: go the mo And then Modell's went out of business.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: This is what happens. A lot of things happened. People started,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: you know, most of the stuff you could buy in
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: a sporting goods store people now buy online. So retail
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: was dying, and then that Dick's Sporting Goods came along
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and put every local, regional thing out of business. Now
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: you might go online and see, well, wait, there's still
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a Model's. It's online. It's not Model's. There's a company
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that when a big block chain store, you know block
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: stores when when they go out of business, this company
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: comes along and buys the names. So if you go online,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you'll see, oh, there's a bed Beth and Beyond is
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: still here. It's online. It's not Bedbath and Beyond. Somebody
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: bought the name and they're using it online. Same thing
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: with Modell's, and there were a lot of stores that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: are no long around. This company buys the names, turns
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it into a website, so it's not the real Model's.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: But Mitch Modell himself is back. He's selling The first
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: thing is a Nis New York T shirt. Just go
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to Mitchellmodell's dot com. Mitchellmodell's dot com. You know about
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the algae in the pool, President Trump, the Reflecting Pool,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: which is a great monument in Washington, DC, was all decayed, ugly.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: It was a mess. And you know, it's just like
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the woman rink. When the government tries to fix something
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: costs two hundred million dollars, takes twenty years. Trump got
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it fixed in like six weeks, you know, for like
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand. That was it. So same thing with
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the Reflecting Pool. Now this is a much bigger project.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: It's much bigger than the Woman rink. But gotta remember
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a professional pool builder. He has dozens
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and dozens and dozens and dozens of resorts all over
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the world. He's built hundreds of swimming pools. He knows
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: how to do it. So he rebuilt the thing, and
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: then they like to attack it. It's the wrong color,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: it's the wrong shade of blue, it's whatever. And then
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: it's got algae all over it. There's algae all over
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the place. So they're finding that people were throwing things
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: in to the pool to create the algae. Apparently you
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: can throw fertilizer in there, it'll create algae. And people
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: were getting in there, and there was even one guy
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: who's an Olympic canoe champ was in this gout in
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the pool and was cutting up the liner. About sixteen
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: people have been arrested. They will be prosecuted like crazy.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: But reporters love to attack Trump. You spent millions, ten
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: million on the pool, and it's not right. But they
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: never mentioned that Obama had spent like a hundred million
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and got nowhere. There's Trump fighting with a reporter, brob
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: flu saying Obama, have you ever heard of them? Yeah,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: he spent two years and over one hundred million dollars
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: when trying to fix it. You know what happened to
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: it never even opened. He took the water for the river.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: You know about that, right, It turned out to be
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: putrid and it destroyed the whole thing. Spent over one
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: hundred million Him and Biden together spent one hundred and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: forty seven million dollars. Yeah, that's the problem is these
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: reporters don't realize how much Trump knows about construction. About Bill.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: If you watch the whole exchange, it's too long to play,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it's like ten minutes. But he's trying to attack Trump.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Trump went into such excruciating detail on the construction of
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: that pool. He knew every little thing. There's a great
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: news piece somewhere where the guy's walking around the Trump
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: course in the in the clubhouse, and he tries to
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: trick Trump. Kind of glasses that and Trump went into
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: detail about exactly what kind of glass, how it's made,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: how it's installed. You could point to anything in his building,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: like the piece of molding up there. He could tell
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you for ten minutes of exactly how that molding is made,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: where it comes from. He knows this stuff. But this
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: is the new thing now the pool, picking on the pool,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the algae. It's if you watch ms now or CNN,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: you'll see ten minute segments on the algae in the pool. Hey,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: zero seven. Ten is the number eight hundred three two,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: one zero seven and ten
