• 0:00
  Speaker 1: First, New York.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Here's more marks alone on seven TENR.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Well, all right, it's not bad today, but a heat
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: wave is coming, big heat wave. It's gonna be near
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: one hundred degrees Thursday. Well, Wednesday's gonna be pretty bad.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: But I see here, look at the latest Wednesday ninety five,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Thursday ninety nine, Friday ninety eight, Saturday ninety three. It
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: had been at one hundred. But hopefully the heat wave
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: subsiding a little. It's gonna be rough this weekend. Not
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the greatest weather, but it'll give you a chance to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: see what life is like in Florida for the whole
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: summer these three days. If you don't like it, you're
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: not gonna like Florida. Hey, you know the Gilgo Beach murderer,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that big Frankenstein Rex Schuerman, has been sent to prison.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: It's a prison they call Little Siberia because it's the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: most unpleasant prison in the state, up near the Canadian border.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: The weather is unbelievably cold all winter. That's why they
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: call it Little Siberia. It's the Clinton Correctional Facility, Dana Mora,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: New York. Now you might remember this name. Remember the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: two guys that escaped, Matt and was sweat. Matt and Sweat.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Remember the two guys escaped from this. One of them
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: was sleeping with the guard, that woman, and she helped
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: them escape and they got out. Remember they were escaped.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: They have gone for a week or so. And you
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: remember Andrew Crmo looking ridiculous, putting on that hunting jacket
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and that police looking thing and being out there helping
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to hunt them down. That's that same facility. But there's
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a couple of mass murderers there. Joel Rifkin is there,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the serial killer, the Zodiac killer is there. So this
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: is where they're sending him. He will be there for
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the rest of his life. He'll die in this prison,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: so it's the most unpleasant place they could send him.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Perfect he'll just ride away there. Hey, Taylor Swift wedding
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: is coming up later this week. You should be aware
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of this, even if you don't care about Taylor Swift,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: because it's going to tie up traffic and cause a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: lot of gridlock all around Madison Square Garden. You remember
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: when the Knicks game the Knicks we're playing here, they
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: closed off streets, you know, like on a two block
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: radius around the garden and it caused a traffic nightmare.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have the same thing again because they're going
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to close off streets for this Taylor Swift stuff. Now
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: apparently it's three nights. It will start with a rehearsal dinner.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: This will be one hundred close family and friends. I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: think that's Wednesday, and then Thursday the actual wedding will
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: take place. But it's a multi day event, expected to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: have about two thousand people at Madison Square Garden. It's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. They're both thirty six years old.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: So it's Thursday and apparently Friday. For some reason. It's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a two day wedding and there'll be a lot of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: famous artists there and many of them are expected to perform.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Stevie Nicks is one of them. She's a big Stevie
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Nicks fan. So that'll take place, but it's going to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: just snarl up stuff, especially on Thursday and Friday. She's
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: going to be a mess.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I hope this is not something. I hope she's not
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: going to be having all of her weddings here because
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: this marriage. How long do you give this marriage? Five years?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Five years tops? I think that's it. But hopefully the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: next wedding be someplace else. Alvin Bragg, the crazy da
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: who lets all the criminals go, who's soft on crime,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: being accused of a little crime here himself, he's been
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: attending a lot of major charity gallas for free. He's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: invited now many of these gallays, like here's one the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Robin Hood Foundation. You know, it's like ten thousand bucks,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: fifteen thousand bucks. People buy tables for one hundred thousand
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: dollars two hundred and fifty thousand, and he's coming for
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: free to dozens of these. Well, in his defense, it's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: pretty common for the big charity gallas to invite prominent
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: politicians because it helps sell tickets. If they come to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the galla and they meet the governor, and they meet
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the Senator, and they meet the congressman, and a few
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: movie stars, a few celebrities, you try to sprinkle them
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: through the crowd, especially in the cocktail party. So it's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: not uncommon for politicians to come for free. You don't
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: sell them a ticket, they come, and so he's really
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: not doing anything. The only problem with Alvian Bragg. I've
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: been to a few charity gallows where he's there and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: when you have a senator or a governor or a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: mayor and your charity go oh, everybody especially to take pictures.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: They want to take pictures with him, and it helps
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: your helps your galup. But with Alvin Bragg, the couple
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: where he's been there, nobody wants to go near him.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: In fact, there was one at the Pierre Hotel where
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the photographer comes over, would you like a picture with
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg? I said, no, that's okay, And ten minutes
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: later she comes back, would you like a picture with
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg? No? Twenty minutes later, can I get you
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: with the Alvin Bragg for a picture? I said, I don't.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Why do you keep asking me? And she said I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: can't get anybody to take a picture with him, So
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: he is kind of useless for that. Now New Yorkers
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: who live in market rate apartments, you know, so some
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: people got excited about mom Donnie's no rent increase and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: this stuff and that stuff, and it sounded great. It's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: going to be a nightmare and also for millions of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: other people who are paying the regular market rate. You're
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: going to get stuck with the bill for this.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Whenever these socialists try this no rent increase, no going
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to regulate there with the landlords. In the end, it
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: always ends up causing disaster, absolute disaster for the people
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: in these apartments. They get more run down, conditions get
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: even worse because most landlords abandon them, and then if
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the city has to take them over, they become real
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: hell holes. I mean, they're just awful the way they
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: run things. So this is the problem with these socialists,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you know, they always propose these incredibles that sound great,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and then when they do them, it's disaster. Mom Donnie
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and the other socialists using that term again, they say
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: they want to decommodify housing. Decommodify housing, it's a Marxist term.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Marx use that term all the time. It means take
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the value out of it, take the value out of housing,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: make it not worth so much. Well, when all that happens,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the conditions get a lot worse. So you're going to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: see total disaster in the housing market with Mom Donnie.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: But that's what happens. They do this stuff, you know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and it just becomes a total shambles that first year.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Boy, you're the most popular's happening right now in New
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: York and California.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: But you'll start living in Squalor.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: You'll live in Squalor. There will be no food, there
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: will be no housing, there will be no military, there'll
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: be no law in order, there will be no nothing.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, sounds good, doesn't it. So again these communists, socialists,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Why are they're voting for them? Again, it looks like
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it's two reasons, not affordability. The underlying reasons are deep
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism. They're voting for these anti Semitic candidates. And
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the other is Trump hatred. They hate this guy so
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: much and they feel the old guard, the previous wave
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of politicians were totally ineffective trying to stop Trump. They
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: think these new radicals, well the else stopped. Well, of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: course they won't. We're talking before about he got George
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Soros and Alex Soros funding all this crap. But you
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: got this other guy, Neville Roy Singham. He's the Soros,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the other one. He's trying to be the bigger Soros.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: He operates out of China, protected by the Chinese government,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: financed by the communist Chinese. They love financing this stuff
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: because it helps hurt America. It just makes America just
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: decay and crumble with all this socialist crap, so that's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: why they finance it. Now Trump's Justice Department is going
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: after Neville Roy Singman. They're going to try to indict him,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: prosecute him again. He's in China, so he's really untouchable.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But he's sending hundreds of millions back into America for
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: all of his crap, and maybe they can stop the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: flow of the money. I guess that's the real purpose here.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: He's a Goldman Sachs client, so they went they asked
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Goldman Sachs to cooperate. Goldman Sachs. As they will cooperate,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: they will answer the subpoenas and turnover records. So it's
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: possible as he funnels all this money back that they
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: may be able to block it, stop it. Something like that. Hey,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the price of oil, it came up a little, just
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: ticked up slightly. It was down to sixty eight dollars,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: sixty nine dollars over the weekend with all the new
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: resumed fighting in Iran. Well it's only gone up to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: seventy dollars, which is pretty low. That's a low oil price,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: seventy a barrel. It's close to what it was pre war.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: So these are good indicators that nobody's panicking. Market not
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: panicking over this. Seventy dollars a barrel is pretty good.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: That'll mean gas averaging now about three point eighty. Now,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: first the price of oil drops and then the price
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: at the pumps, well, that takes a couple of weeks.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: That's that's always lagging. So expect that to come down
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to three point fifty pretty soon and then start heading lower.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: So that's good news AOC all over the place. Now,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you got to remember Mom Donnie on the Sunday shows.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie, they talk about him is the face of
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the party. You're now the face of the crazy Democrats.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: And if AOC is watching, I assume she might watch
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: those Sunday shows and if she hears Jonathan Carl.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Say, Republicans are going to make you the poster child
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: for the Democratic Party.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Ooh, Now, AOC is not going to like that. She
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: wants to run, of course, there's a big talk of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: her for twenty twenty eight. Now, remember Mom Donnie was
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: not born here, so he can ever run for president.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: So that helps her, but she can't be too happy
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: about you know, she was the poster child of all this.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Now this guy's taken over, so you may see a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: little conflict there between the two of them. AOC trying
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to sound off. She yelled and screamed this weekend about
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: major tech companies. She's putting them on notice about their
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: looming price increases. They're far too big, AOC said, she's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: putting Apple on notice. I'm sure they're trembling there in
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Silicon Valley. She says, companies like Apple, why they think
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: they are governments and we have to totally stop them.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: They're like governments with totally unchecked powers. She's talking about
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the price increase. Now she's got an IQ about maybe
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: eighty doesn't know anything about business, finance or anything. Because
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of AI. The chips, the memory chips, the things that
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: are vital to make computers and phones. Because of AI,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: it uses so many chips that the major AI companies
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: are buying up all the chips, so it makes them
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: harder and harder to get. These AI companies have become
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: bigger than Apple, bigger than anything. AI is such a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: big business. It's just gobbling up the chip supply. So
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: now it used to be Apple was so big, so powerful,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: they could always be first in line. They could get
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the chips. First they could get them at a good price.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Well that's not the case anymore. They're tiny now compared
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to these AI companies. So Apple's having trouble with the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: supply chain getting these chips. They're having to pay more
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to get them, and as a result, they've announced all
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Apple products will have a price increase. For a laptop
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: or a tablet, it's going to be an extra one
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: hundred two hundred They think they they think when the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: phones come out they'll be able to maintain the same
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: price on the phones, but the computers, desktops, laptops, tablets,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: there will be a price increase. So this is what
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: she's yelling and screaming about. But she thinks they just
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: raised the price just for the hell of it. She said,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: we need to break up these companies. You imagine breaking
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: up Apple. You know what would happen if you broke
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: up Apple. You wouldn't get the same quality phone computer.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Wait to your voters find now they're gonna have trouble.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Get in the phone. You'll see how much they love you. Hey.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden was speaking this weekend at the Live Casino
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and Hotel Hanover, Maryland. What was the event here. Oh
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it's the well. It was the first time he's been
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: seen since the Obama Library opened. So he made a
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: speech that was basically incoherent. When it was done, he
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: didn't know where to go. He turned to this side,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: then he turned to that side, then he looked in
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the back, then he pointed in two different directions, and
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: then somebody must have yelled at him or waved to him.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: He finally figured out how to get off the stage,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: how to walk off, But people in the audience were stunned.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: They never saw anybody look so confused, bewildered, And when
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: he was totally lost up there on the stage, he
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: actually yelled on stage, where's my granddaughter? So apparently she
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: was supposed to come lead him off the stage. She's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: like the seeing eye dog for him. It was just
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: horrifying to the crowd, and they watched it, you know,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: other times the first Lady, Jill by former First Lady
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: thank God, had to guide him and lead him. So
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: he's an absolute mess. The reflecting pool boy. They love
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: writing articles about this reflecting pool, about the algae, about this.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Now Trump spent about twelve million. They're attacking him like
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: crazy because after twelve million. Well, there's algae in there.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: If you check my Twitter, I put up this article
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: from years ago when Obama was present, he spent thirty
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: five million. He spent three times as much, And it's
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: an article from NBC News about how the whole thing
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: is No, it doesn't reflect anymore and it's covered with algae,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: which is much worse than the situation now. But that's
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the hypocrisy and the double standard Democrats are famous for.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: We'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three to two
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Is the number eight hundred three
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Mark on seven ten wr.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Well, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten. That's the number eight hundred three two
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Let's go to doctor Bob in
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Long Island. Doctor Bob, how you doing okay?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: More good?
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Thanks you very much. Getting ready for the well the
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: July weekend. Can't wait.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be one hundred degrees real feel one hundred
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and ten.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to stay into it. I guess make
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: sure we got plenty of acids available.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Mark.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: With this transition to from capitalism towards socialism communism, especially
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: in New York City. I don't know if you remember
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: the Million Dollar Movie used to be on Channel nine.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: These play Gone with the Wind for a whole week
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: in a row. Why not bring back the movie Doctor
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Shivago where it really shows what happened in in Russia
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: going to the Soviet Union and the transition. That movie
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: is very vivid and it shows exactly how Moscow changed
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: with the revolution. I think that would be very enlightening. Well,
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: but to see.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: That, I don't think it will work. Because it's a
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: spectacular movie, cost of fortune visually, cinematography unbelievable. But it's
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: like four hours. It's like four hours long. It's twenty
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: twenty six. Nobody has an attention span long enough to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: watch that movie anymore.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: It's a fair happened in the machine, you know, you
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: watch it homely foras.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: It it's a great everybody should go watch it. That's
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a good point. But the people that need to see
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: at the.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Money experience, it's a TSH experience. Yeah, I know, but
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: What's the store.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Will love it. But the mom Donnie voters the twenty
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: so they have an attention span of thirty seconds. That's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: why they like TikTok you'd have to make a TikTok
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: version of Doctor Shovago to get through to them.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: But they're they're very minority. They're a minority his followers.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: They're really a small portion of the population.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Well, that's who you're trying to convert. They're the voters
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: voting for socialism.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: No, you don't need them.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: You need people to get to the polls to prevent
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: the transition.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: That's the thing.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: All right, here's a lesson.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: All right, doctor Bob, not a bad idea, Thanks for calling. Uh,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: it was the hell of a movie. Doctor Javago was
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: what that was? The guy's name, Omar Sharif, remember him
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: with the mustache. But again, twenty something watching TikTok videos
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: of dot Cake is they're not going to sit through
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: four hours of Omar Sharif on Doctor Jovago. Let's go
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: to Norman in Long Island. Norman, how you doing?
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Hi? Hi? Of course for you, Mark.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Do you think that the conservative radio and conservative TV
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: stations are actually helping the communists by always showing their
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: campaigns but never showing the campaigns of the people that
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: are running against They're sucking up all the oxygen these
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: communists with.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Anybody all the time. Anybody voting for Mamdannie or any
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of those. They're not watching conservative anything. They're not watching TV,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: they're not watching radio.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're getting name recognition by showing their campaigns.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: But we don't even know who's running against them because
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: they don't show much of the the Yeah.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: But again against people.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Under thirty have no contact with conservative radio or TV.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: They don't see it never.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: But you know, we should really show more of the
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: campaigns of the people running against these guys, well, because
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: they're getting free advertising.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, the conservative candidates. Bruce Blakeman certainly
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: is the scene everywhere he was. He was even on
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: CNN the other day with Caitlin Collins. I give him credit.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: He's a brave guy with that crazy Caitlin Collins. Let's
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark, Good morning, Marra, Good call Mark. For
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: the same reasons that the city helped cause the housing
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: crisis and the destruction that was the South Bronx in
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: the late sixties in the early seventies, because all everything
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: rented before them was rank controlled and the landlords couldn't
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: keep up with the upgrades, the upgrading and plumbing, the
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: upgrading in the electricity. The same thing is going to
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: start to happen because Mondamie's cronies on the rent guideline
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: board didn't allow a one or the first time a
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: two year increase. Back then, Mark, the landlords went the
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: city did that in the early late sixties early seventies.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: You had up to seven years you could be in
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: arrears on your property taxes. So the landlords they could
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: not turn over anything, so they ran the properties into
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: the ground, collected rents and didn't pay out the property
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: taxes in the water. Now they moved up to three years.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Mark.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: People of pulling their buildings off the market. They want
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: to have nothing to do with this.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Mark.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: I get off it rent controlled, rent stabilized buildings every day.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: And I said to you last week, why do I
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: want to be partners with the City of New York.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: I hope a big real estate organization like you know,
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: the big ones. I hope they bring this case to
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: court because this has been the cost.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Vincent. We only got like a minute. Let me ask
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: you a question. You're a landlord your own apartment buildings. Yeah,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: what if they did? I know But what if they
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: did a thing where they just motivated you guys. Like
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I said, any improvements you make you can deduct from
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: your property tax, will lower your property tax if you
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: make improvements with that way.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, especially since now a lot of the buildings
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: they want to have them wired internally so that they're
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: smart buildings. Put the latest. Yeah, mark, that's one hundred
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: percent on the money. And what they also got to
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: do is make housing court fair for the landlords. You
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: have these bombs and I've experienced it where they're not
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: paying you rent for two years. They go to court,
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: they get a liberal judge, a liberal judge gives them
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: an extension, an extension and extension. The ACLU is paying
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: for the derelic tenants legal fees. Meanwhile the landlord is
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: out a quarter of a million dollars and still didn't
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: get a verdict on their properties.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's never going to happen. But it's a
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: good idea. But thanks for calling, great call, Vincent. Hey,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: when we come back. The Great New York Post columnt
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Steve Cuzo. He's the expert on real estate in New York,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: on restaurants in New York. But we'll talk to him
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: about how's New York doing, how's the apartment market, the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: housing market, are people moving in or moving out? What
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: are the real numbers? And we'll get to all the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: latest from him next on seven to ten Work.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Simon Show Live from the WR Life Back Studios.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Well, Steve Cuzo, the great column Listen to the New
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: York Post nobody better on real estate, on restaurants and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: what's going on in New York. You can read all
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: of his columns. They're all up on the New York
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Post website. Steve Cuzo, how you doing?
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Hey, Good morning Mark.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Hey, Now tell us the truth. Everybody will tell you
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: New York is dying. Nothing but empty storefronts everywhere. What
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: is the real deal?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: The real deal is that we ain't dying, at least
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: not yet. As long as well in New York. We
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: survived nine to eleven, survived the Wall Street crash, we
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: survived coldd we survived all these. Question is whether we
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: can survive the mayor of Mom Donnie your new pal
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: there I see from this anyway, I'm glad to know
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: he has a sense of humor. Does But anyway, so
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: everything you know, I happen to live on the Upper
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: east Side. Privilege. I get it, okay, but not all
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: of the Upper east Side is rich wherever I go,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: and not only there, but through the village. I was
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: in Brooklyn on the Saturday Lavonia Avenue and it's remarkable
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: for a city. If we didn't follow the media, you know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: we're in terrible crisis. There are all these strains, there's
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: all this underlying anguish and everything. And yet guess what,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: it's amazing how peaceful everything is. Nobody's getting knifed or stabbed.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Businesses are booming for the most part, and you know,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: it's it's great. And you know, if you look at
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: look at Brian Park, one of the great places in
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: the Sea and one of the great parks in the world,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: urban parks in the world. It's so popular that you've
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: got two different restaurant companies fighting over the restaurant. You know,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: it's called the Brian Park Grill. And this is one
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: of the strangest stories I've ever covered, because there's a
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: company there called Arc Restaurants. They've run the Brian Park
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Grill for thirty years. Their lease was up last year.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Their landlord, which is the Bryant Park Corporation declined to
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: renew their lease. They want to bring a new operator.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: The new operator will probably be Jean George or Vanka Richton.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: And there are many, many complications to this whole story.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: We have limited time, so I'm not going to get
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: into them. But basically, Brian Park Grill is still there
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: without a lease. The Bryant Park Corporation got a court
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: order allowing them to begin eviction proceedings. That's going to
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: take a long time. And meanwhile, John George, one of
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: the great chefs in the world and his company would
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: love to be there. And it typifies the energy in
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: the restaurant scene, and not only restaurants scene, but in
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: the public realm. You know, Brian Park is a great
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: landmark at a great location, and right now it's one
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: of the best places in the world to be. A
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: couple of days from now, it's going to be one
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: hundred degrees so maybe a little less desirable, but that
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: affects everyone and everywhere. So it's a great time to
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: be in New Yorker. No matter what anybody says.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: The greatest rent run tours, whether it's John George or
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Danielle or all these Danny they keep opening more and
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: more and more places in New York City. So they
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: must know something. They must have faith in this city.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or they're making a big mistake. But you know
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: the days of overexpansion in the city or over, I
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: don't see guys like the ones you mentioned of opening
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: restaurants all over the place. When they do open, it's calculated.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: They're very careful, they know the market. They hire the
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: best people to run them. So for example, in Brooklyn now,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: John George's company and his CEO, Lois Readman, have a
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: new restaurant, ABC Kitchens, which is it's in Brooklyn Bridge
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Park and it's a combination of three of Von Garrickton's
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: restaurants branded as ABC. There is ABC that It's already
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: won the Design Award. It's enormously popular. But they chose
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: that place very carefully. They're not just opening all over
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: the yeah, just to say, hey, we've got a restaurant.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: This is how good Steve Cuser is. He's the only
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: man on earth that can pronounce John George's last name.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: What is it again, Von, I've worked on that for years.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I can't get it, good old French name.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Hey, now what about retail. Is retail making a kind
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: of come back?
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. I wrote about to this today or
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Real Estate Board of New York has a new survey,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: and it's a balanced acknowledge that there was still problem
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: in spots. By and large, it's doing. Retail is a
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: good shape. Retailer is hard to measure. It's not like
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: office space, where everybody has access to the same data.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: It's easy to measure. You know, this building has a
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: million square feet, this company REases half of it. That's
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: not true in retail. The spaces are all different sizes.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: When people talk about, well, you know there are only
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: ten vacancies on a certain stretch of an avenue, ten vacancies.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Those vacancies can be six hundred square feet or they
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: could be sixty thousand square feet. And I'm exaggerating, but
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: only a little. Very hard to quantify. Overall, my sense is,
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: and this isn't from the Real Estate Board, this is
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: my own two cents. It's very healthy. There's one of
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: the problems with New York City retails that there's too
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: much space. Because over the last twenty five thirty years,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: lots more new space was created and at the same
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: time that there was downward pressure on demand for brick
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: and mortar stores because of obviously online the shopping. So
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: you've got all this new space and places like the
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: World Trade Center of Hudson Yards, Brookfield Place on Manhattan West,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: all these different areas with hundreds of thousands of square
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: feet to be filled, and there are only so many
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: stores to go around. All that said, it's in very
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: good shape. You go to neighborhoods like Soho, you can't
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: believe how densely packed it is, with every kind of store.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: From all over the world.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: You go to the meat packing district and you see
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: that it's hard on Ninth Avenue the meatpacking district. Baccarat
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: has moved there a flagship from Madison Avenue to Ninth Avenue.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: That says a lot about the strength and health of
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: the market.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: And also apartment rentals. The rental market is booming. Condo sales,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: even on the high end are doing well. Right.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I live on First Avenue in the seventies.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: There's a building that just went up on Second Avenue.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: It's pretty much around the corner for me, Second Avenue
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: in seventy seventh Street, and it doesn't have a name once.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: They just gave it a nice it's the number of
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: the street, something in the east, seventy seventh street, and
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: none of these silly names. But the developers there, Mickey
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: enough Tally, who really knows what he's doing. And he's
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: the guy that brought the Plaza Hotel back after it
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: was sold years ago. And this building I read this
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: a week ago, had the highest sale, highest price sale
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: of any residents in New York City. It was like
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: some crazy number thirty forty million, I don't know. And
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: that's amazing. That's on Second Avenue. Think about that. You know,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: we're not talking Park, We're not talking Madison, the seventy
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: nine street. So yeah, the market's great. How much effect
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: the Rent Guidelines Board decision will have, you know, not
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: allowing landlords of rent stables departments to raise rents for
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: another year or two or whatever it is. I think
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: it's a stupid and self defeating stroke that will have
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: the effect. It's not going to help anybody. If you
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: live in a rent stay boys department. It means it'll
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: save you a couple of dollars over two years not
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: to have your rent increase by your legal percentage At
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: the same time, it will discourage landlords from making necessary
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: repairs maintaining their buildings properly, And it will also encourage
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: some landlords to keep apartments off the market and the
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: expectation that when this all passes, they can get a
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: much higher rent, so they don't want to commit to
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: a lower artificially lower rents now, which of course has
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: boomerang effect. It doesn't help people looking for apartments, it
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: hurts them by reducing the industry. Yeah, that's New York
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Well, but I'm glad to hear things are better, much
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: better than they're being portrayed. And that's good news. And
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: you can see all of Steve Cuzo's columns just go
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: to the New York Post website. Just typed in his name,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: but you'll see column after column really interesting stuff. And
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Steve Cuzo, thanks for being with us.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Thanks Mark, always great to be on.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: All right, take care, Yeah, rental market booming. I always
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: like to check the hotels, the major hotels in New York,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the big ones. Just check the hotel just you know,
• 32:00

• 32:06
  Speaker 1: you know some of the city's doing well. That's where
• 32:08

• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the rates are that ridiculously high. Hey, don't forget coming

  Speaker 1: Whoa Boy? They love to lie about President Trump. I
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: think sometimes they don't even know they're lying about them.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I'm watching this. I heard this all day on every
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: year fake news. Trump appointing allies of his to the
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Kennedy Center Board. That's every president. Every president gets to
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: make appointments to the Kennedy Center Board, and every president
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: appoints allies. No president has ever said, let me pick
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: somebody who hates my guts and is my worst enemy,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: and appoint him to the Kennedy. It's always allies anyway.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Big heat wave coming for days. It's gonna be brutally hot,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: and I'll be back tomorrow ten to noon. I hope
