• 0:16
  Speaker 1: time your claims were paid back quickly via Revolute Level Health.

  Speaker 2: Let's get back quelling love this lady.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: New York Post columnists now in Florida spend most of
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: all life in New York, the very talented Carol Markowitz,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: been late, Big morning, Brian Kilmeade, Paul Morrows, Senator Ron Johnson.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: All here still a come, John Katzimatidi's bill, O'Reilly and
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Miranda the Vine. But here is my friend, Carol, Carol,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Good Monday morning.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: How are you hi?
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Said so nice to be all with you.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Nice to have you back too, And of course on
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: this day after what we saw once again Saturday night,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: another attempt at President Trump's life. We've discussed all morning long,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: every angle of it, why it happens, Democrats, you know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: did their secret service to a good job or not?
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: What does the future look like? So let me get
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: to you, Carol, your thoughts on what we witnessed on
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Saturday night.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Well, my main thought about it is that the wannabe
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: shooter was mimicking and parroting very kind of mainstream Democrat
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: talking points. He sounded like he could have been on CNN.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: He did not sound like a fringe reddit, you know
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: kind of guy. I think that's very concerning that this
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: is not no longer like a super fringe thing that
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: these wackos, you know, find themselves feeling violent and having
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: mental health issues and taking a shot at the president.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: This is like a guy who went to cal Tech.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Maybe he was on a downward spiral, but he add
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: all the tools for success and got derailed by possibly
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: just the mainstream Democrat party.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: That's it really ms now even more than CNN. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: find them to be even more repulsive.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: But you're right, either one of them, either one of them,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: and you know he's doing stuff in his manifesto that
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: they call President Trump every day and they keep making
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: this point every day because it's worth making.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: They call me.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: That, I mean, what do I have to do with
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Jeffrey Epste They call me a pedophile on Twitter every day?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Because I'm family with the president. So Sid's now a
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: pedophile and Sid's a Nazi. So yeah, it's not hard
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to figure out why some of these psychos are out
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: there trying to kill President Trump when these media people
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: and of course and of course the politicians are very
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: quick to say things.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Like that exactly. I mean, he was basically parroting what
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: these politicians were saying. I mean, Nancy Pelosi has said
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: that Trump has betrayed the oath of office. Joe Biden
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: called him, said that he had betrayed the Constitution. Eric Swolwell,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: same kind of thing, betrayed our country, Tim Ryan Trump
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: acted like a trader. I mean, these are the words
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: that he used in his manifesto. This is a man again,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: who has not been radicalized by some fringe He's been
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: radicalized by the mainstream Democratic Party. I think Democrats need
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: to take a long, hard look at themselves. They have
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: to understand this does not stay contained to just their side.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: This is going to motivate people on the opposite side
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: to kind of behave in a crazy way too. They
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: should want to bring down the temperature. I mean, this
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: always happens. This is like a constant thing with them
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: where they think that they could do whatever they want
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: and then they realize, ah, actually it'll end up biting
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: us as well.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know about the other side, and I know
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: that there was a Shapiro wincon and Dan a politician
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: in Minnesota, but and it could. But I get very upset,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: and I was happy to see Dan Bongino make this
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: point yesterday too. When I have family members and friends
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: who go all both sides are crazy.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Stop not all sides.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: One side is completely insane, right right.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: One side is completely insane. What I'm saying is is
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: that if they don't bring down the temperature, they cannot
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: count on just their sides staying insane. Yes, right now
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: all the bullets are going in one direction, absolutely, But
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: how much longer will various people on the right take it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I think that that's like the question they need to
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: be asking themselves. Is this going to stay this way?
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: And they just can't count on that, and they should
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: do the right thing for the country and bring down
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: the temperature.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: And yet, because I talked to Rick Scott on this
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: show now almost every week, I talked to Congressman Wendy
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Fine on this show now almost every week, you don't
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: seem to have a lot of these issues in Sonny
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Boca Ratone.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Do you.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Look Florida the different thing? You know, it's something that
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: I really appreciate about the state. I appreciate a lot
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: of things about it, but being able to exercise our
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Second Amendment rights, for example, we feel a lot safer
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: and secure here. Obviously, bad things can happen anywhere, but
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: it does happen more often in blue jurisdiction that it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: really hard to overlook that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Blue jurisdiction on Saturday Night doesn't get much blower than DC,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: except for maybe New York and California, which you pointed
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: out very recently in your right Carol, that a California
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: billionaire tax gets on the ballot.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Talk about that story.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: So it's been a long time coming, because it's been
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: in the news for a while as billionaires like Sergey
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Brin leave the state. So what's going on there is
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: a proposed wealth tax, so it would confiscate wealth from
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: billionaires in the state, and it would be retroactive to
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: last January first, So a lot of billionaires left in December.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Now the argument was, why are the billionaires leaving? This
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: isn't even on the ballot yet, And that's because the
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: billionaires didn't trust the voters in their state not to
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: get it on the ballot. And today we find out
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: that this wealth tax has made the ballot. It has
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: enough signature to be on the ballot in November next thing,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: people in California will be voting on this measure and
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: then thement the governor will have to decide whether to
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: sign it into law. The billionaires understand that they're living
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: in a crazy place. California has gone completely off the rails,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: and they understand that they can't trust their fellow citizens
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: in California and not to enact this piece of legislation.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: So billionaires have been out the door. Multimillionaires have been
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: out the door because they know once the billionaires have left,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: they are going to be the next ones getting their
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: wealth confiscated. I mean, it's just it's an ongoing thing
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: in these leftists enclaves where the left pushes the more
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: mainstream Democrats to move leftward. And that's what we're seeing
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: in California.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: In fact, I just said to Ron Johnson. Ron Johnson
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: said radical left, and I said, please, don't get offended,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: but stop doing that, because to.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Me, there is no there's the left. That's it. Democrats
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the same thing.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I don't care if you're Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Jamie Raskin,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: or Bernie Sanders, they're all the same. They all end
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: up the same. This is this common sense democrat doesn't exist.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: There's one. There's one. His name is John Fetterman. He's
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: a Republican. At this point, it's nonsense. He's a Republican
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: or else. There's no such thing. And you talk about
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: pushing out billionaires. We got a story here. This guy's
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: name is Ken Griffin Carrol, and he's a seat you.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Know, Citadel.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: He wanted to do a six billion dollar project in
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: New York City, which also would have created about fifteen
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: thousand jobs. And this piece of garbage radical Islam mayor
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: of ours who wants to punish successful people and get
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: him out of here. He's driven Ken Griffin to the
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: point but he's really considering not doing the job. Well,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: how does that help Mom, Donnie? And is five point
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: four billion dollar budget hole?
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: That's right. And you know, Ken Griffin moved from Chicago
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: to Florida in twenty twenty two, same year I moved
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: to Florida, and he took Citadel with him. His company Citadel,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: so a fifty one billion dollar hedge fund, moved from
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Chicago to Florida. And he still has branches elsewhere. He
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: still has an operation in New York, for example. He
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: can decide not to have that anymore. I don't know
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: if he will. I think that he employed thousands of
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: people in New York. He's kind of a I don't
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: want to call Ken Griffin a softy, but he kind
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: of is. He sort of like wants to do what's
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: best for the people despite the terrible leadership. But he
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: needs to teach Mom Donnie a lesson. You can't say
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: this kind of thing. You can't stand outside of somebody's home,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: point up to it and say this is a bad person,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: this is somebody we need to target and expect everything
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: to be okay. I think that Ken Griffin should take
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: the billions, and he's planning to invest in New York, say,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: and invested in places that welcome him, invested in places
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: that welcome his company, invested in places that welcome his money.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: And I understand his commitment to the people of New York.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: But he needs to think rethink that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I agree with you.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I live here, I work in the city. My beautiful
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: White works in the city. My two children, my daughter
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Able works in the city. My son Gable goes to
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: school in the city. I live in Queen's I need
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: this place to prosper. I don't care at this point.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I want us to hit our ease. I'm a recovering
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: at it. I know about hitting my knees and accepting
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: number one. I'm powerless. Okay, we need the city to
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: do that, and Mom Donnie will do that. Give him
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the opportunity. I want Griffin to take his money out.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I would even ask John Katsu Matiti's to spend more
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: time in Saint Petersburg. I would ask Bill Ackman to
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: go to West Palm Beach because this city it will
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: hit rock bottom, but it may hit faster if some
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: of these people like Ken Griffin say f you to
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: this mayor who turns out Carol Markowitz. As afraid as
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: we were when he won. One hundred plus days in,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: he's even worse.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: He is even worse because he feels like he has
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: to cater again to the really radical far left flank
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: he's considered him. No, that's him, I know, I know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: but he gets targeted by the even bigger lunatics like
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: last week, the week, the whole week with stories of
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: mom Donnie not being left enough, and he wants to
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: be the furthest left. So yeah, I agree, it's him,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: it's him, but he is untethered and I think he's
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: just a complete disaster. He's incapable of governing, and so
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: he needs to do stunts like this to make up
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: for that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: So you gotta feel better and better every day about
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Yes, you know, I do. Still, you know, I know
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: you do.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: But your family is still here, right? Isn't your mom
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: and dad still here?
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: My mom, my brother, They all still live in Brooklyn.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Look again, I like you. I want New York to recover.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: I do think it is still on a downward spiral.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I think it's nowhere near where they're going to be
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: able to turn it around. They need to get to
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: a point where they able to elect a ruly Juliani
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: to fix things. And we both know that they're not
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: at that point yet.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: They're going to get there. You know who's running in
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty nine?
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Who me? You?
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I got Larra Trump on the show a couple of
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: days ago to endorse me already, It'll take me five
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: minutes to get dj T to endorse me. I've got
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman, who hope he's going to beat Kathy Holko
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: for governor. He's like, as soon as I win, I'm
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: announcing you're running. So I know my wife is listening.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: She's going to kill me.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I know that.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: But I got so many really powerful people, people that matter.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: This is not a joke that is saying to me,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: maybe you why not?
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Did I could see it? You care about that city,
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: you love that city, You want to turn it around.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I absolutely let's do it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Will you endorse me in the New York Post?
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: I mean I don't do endorsements, but you know you'd
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: have my personal support.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll play the tape on the air. That's all
