  Speaker 2: thing that ever happened in my life of seventy one years,

  Speaker 2: it is, Madeline.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, especially because I'm talking to you, and then I

• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the Bronx and the borough where I started The Guardian
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Angels in nineteen seventy nine. On that note, will crash
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: goes to work on that. Let's go to Carlato, who's
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: calling from Brooklyn. Your turn to be heard here at
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: seven ten, wr Well, how do.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: You do it?
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Merry Christmas? And God bless you for staying in the race,
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: because if you order went out, we were being down
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: to one party, a hard social and a thought social
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: who could have turned hard. And this is very serious
• 1:47

  Speaker 5: The Marxists are here, Carlotta.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Let me explain, Carlotta, it's already here. When I return
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, I think I will be to have connected
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: all the dots of how Republican leadership through Congresswoman at
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: least Stefanic under the bus and created the pathway for
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman eliminating a superstar. I mean, Republicans are the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: worst enemy of Republicans in New York City and in
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: New York State. They do everything to help the Democrats
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to keep it a one party system. And I saw
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the grifter in chief last night she was all over
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: New York with Eric Adams Swaggerman with no plan. Oh,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: they were having a love fest, and she was surrounded
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: by Republicans all day long who were making backroom deals. Oh,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you had better be listening Friday morning. Hopefully I will
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: have connected all the Dutch by then. Let's go if
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: we can to Lenny, who's calling from Staten Island. You're
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: turning to be heard here at seven ten wor Lenny.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: Hey, Curtis, we know each other. Got to hear your
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: voice on the radio, and you gave me an early
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: Christmas present. Let me tell you my son is on
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: the DMZ in Korea. He just got promoted yesterday, the
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: sergeant staff sergeant Lenny, right, And that's why people listen
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: to you. You bring the real stuff to us by
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: mentioning our servicemen who cannot be home for this time
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: of year. It really it touched my heart, and I
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: thank you very much for giving that shout out to
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: the servicemen that are away from their families this time
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: of the year. God bless you.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Lenny, and to your son serving us there
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: in the DMZ. Remember that's a war that never ended.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Nineteen five still on there, separating South Korea from the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: evil seed of Kim Jung mentally ill and the crazies
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: of North Korea. On that note, Nancy, as you prepare
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: for our swinging soiree through the Tri State area members
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: of your family, what was it like for you growing
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: up in Bohemia and Suffolk County looking forward at Christmas?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, I mean, obviously it's I always enjoyed
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Christmas growing up. My mom is Ye's very into the tradition,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: and you know, the Christmas tree, the outdoor decorations we
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: would have, you know, either people would come over. I
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: mean mainly it was always kind of hosted at our
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: house to some extent, so you know, I didn't really
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: do a lot of traveling to other family member's house.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: It was just always you know, stationed at our house.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: And you know, back then we used to have the
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: real winters, so a lot of times there was snow,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: which is always nice. And then being off of school
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: as a kid, you know, you can't go wrong with
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: that either. So it was always just a nice time
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: out in Long Island growing up.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm wondering how many people listening to us in
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the Troy state area and beyond throughout the world on
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the internet at wor seven ten. Remember that last minute
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: present that either Mam or Dad or maybe your older
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: brother or sister would get you at the Hesh gas station,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: which was the Hesh truck, the hash car, you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a quickie. Many people would never go to Hesse because
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: it was considered low budget gasoline. Low budget wasn't like Sinoko,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you know, with all the five seven grades. But they
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: drive into Hesse where they wore the white suits and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: it came out and pumped your gas and they said, no, no,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: not here for the gas, and please don't put that
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: dirty square on my window. I'm here for the Hess truck.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Last minute present, and it's still available even though there
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: are no more Hess stations. Hesselt, Marada. They had the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: huge petrol chemical plant and the refinery in New Jersey
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: along the Cancer Belt. When you're on a New Jersey
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Turnpike and you're going south, once you pass Newark Airport,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: which is always a dollar short in a day late
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: for everything, hit south DM boy. Then you look at
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: all the petro chemical plants, You look at all the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: refineries that used to be Leon Hess's refinery, who owned
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the New York Jets at one point.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I never I never got a Hess truck, nor
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: did I give a Hess truck. But I would say
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: I always look forward to the stocking more than even
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: the presence. You know, I didn't have like a lot
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: of presents, but to me, the stocking was the best part,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: like going there and then seeing that it was all
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: filled up and there was always nice goodies in there.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: So I was really a fan of the stockings.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Let's go if we can to George, who's calling? Your
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: turn to be heard here at seven ten? W or George?
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: How are you? Curtis is George the court clerk. I
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: just wanted to tell you they did you bed in
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: one way. I don't want to keep bringing back the past.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: Like Einstein said, only God could change the past. When
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: they said, you know about the Republican Party, you had
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: the real you had the seat, they gave it to you.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: The fact nobody wanted to run against you, they gave
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: it to you, and that was very unfair. And also
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: about the guy at night, Lionel. He's a smart guy.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: He has a great vocabulary and all of that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: I have a statue in my backyard and I'm not
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: a school ball. It was a court clerk for many years.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: I'm a normal guy. I have a statue of Saint
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: Francis in my backyard. I feed birds, and Saint Francis said,
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: treat your animals like your brothers and your sisters. People
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: who don't like animals are weird. And as you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: people who people who did harm to animals or half
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: of them, and they used to come to court. I
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: used to read in their background they used to abuse
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: animals when they were a kid. I'm not saying Lionel
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: did that. And I also say one other thing, if
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: I could up. This is just a suggestion. And Nancy's dad,
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: she should listen to this. You are a very popular
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: guy and in Brooklyn, and then I know you're not
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: gonna do it. I try to call you a few
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: months ago or when things were getting hot for mayor
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: and said, who run for borough president in Brooklyn? And
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: this is why you have a say in the Brooklyn Zoo,
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: which is world class, the aquarium. The you're half Polish.
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: I know you are a half Italian. The people in Greenport,
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: Greenport love you, even the yuppies. The will vote for
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: you because you know the crime there. The Russians will
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: vote for you, the Hassidic will vote for you. The
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: people in Coney Island will vote for you, even the
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: Gumbas most of them. The Italians will vote for you,
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: even the bought.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Well let me let me step in one second here.

• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was, Yeah, I was born in green Point.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: You know. I lived in Ridgewood for until I was
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: about six seven years old. That's before we went on
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: to Long Island.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: And you went to a Catholic school there where they
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: spoke Polish.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Right. Well, let's see, so they did speak polar but
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: it wasn't primarily Polish. I went to, you know, Our
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Lady of Miraculous Metal, so that was very you know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: like you had the nuns teaching type thing. I went to,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: you know, when I went to I guess what the
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: I'm not even sure what you would call it. The
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: equivalent of like the preschool at this point they had
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Polish speaking there. But yeah, in the actual Catholic school itself,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: it was you know, definitely English, definitely English.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Well, Georgia the old Clark Court clerk. You could forget
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: about running for Brooklyn Boro President. All you do is
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: cut ribbone.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: You do nothing.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Most of these elected officials, they're impotent, they can do nothing.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, we're in for a ride. So on Mandami
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: will be sworn in on January first by Bernie the
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: out the Coca Sanders originally from Brooklyn, went to Brooklyn
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the College, Uh and Tish James will be holding the Bible.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: And look, he's entitled to an opportunity to put his
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: agenda into effect. A grace period. Every person who is
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: elected mayors should have a grace period. I know some
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: of you are mumbling and grumbling. He won. He kicked
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Cuomo's butt in the primary where Cuomo was expecting a caronation,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and then instead of going back to his hobble and
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: sliding under the rock in the Hamptons with his billionaire friends,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: he decided to re emerge and say, well, this time
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I'll do it better.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Ha.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: How did that work out? And Republickins backed Como destroyed
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the party here in New York City. And when I
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: return on Friday, after visiting relatives on my wife's side
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: all throughout the Tragy State area, I believe I will
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: have connected the dots and can tell you how Republicans
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: stabbed at least staphonic in the back. Oh yeah, Republicans
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: in New York State and New York City seem to
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: be all gaga. Google for anyone who's a Democrat in
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: this case, the grifter in chief, Kathy
