  Speaker 2: and now you got Kushner and Eisner with the Lakers. Charlie,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: The Jews are buying up everything, aren't they.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I love it, man, love it, love it, love it.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: You know, the best compliment I ever got was from
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: a pretty big Wall Street Investor's name is Doug Cass.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: He said, Charlie and l what you're too smart not
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: to be there?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: You go?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: And I love it, love it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: By the way, his name is Mark Rowland, and his
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: name is Mark Rowan not Rob Cohen.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: But again, I'm sorry Rob.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: It's mark rowing deaf, I know. But before we get
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: started it, you know, you you close the last hour
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: on something about fingers in a certain orifice. You opened
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: up this hour with some fruitcake song. Right, what's going
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: up with you? Dude? I'm getting you questioning some.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Well I'm married thirty four years to a beautiful woman.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: But you eat anything Based on what I read it,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: there's something going on. We should intervene. Get your staff
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: to intervene.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Now, you know, I have a lot of on a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: serious note, because I go to the gym like you do,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and I don't take selfies like you do all the
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: time and find a sixty pound weights. But I go
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to the gym all the time. But I have a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: lot of I guess feminine qualities. I don't know. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: enjoy ballads and walks in the park and I don't
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: know gay porn.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Does that make me gay?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Well, the gay porn? There's anything wrong with that?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Right? Right?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I mean you know whatever you're I know, I'm a
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: libertarian when it comes to this. I don't care what
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: people do as long as they stay away from kids
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: and little animals.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Know exactly right. I feel the same exact way, which
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I don't always do with that. But on a serious note,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: as I was joking about Mark rowing and Kushner and
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Eisner and buying stock in the Yankees and buying up
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the Lakers, happened to be Jewish. But what a deal
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: this guy, Mark Walters, I guess, bought the Lakers from
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the Bus family last year, spent about ten billion. Now
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: he turns it over yesterday to Kushner and Eiger and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: he makes about two billion dollars.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: What a small business guy.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I've seen that play a lot. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: mean when they forced Dance Nighters, the Cell the Redskins
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: people for the people made it like, oh they're forcing
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the Cell the Redskins. It's horrible. And yeah, and I
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: know Dance Night pretty well. He's a great guy. He
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: got a bad rap in many ways. People felt sorry
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: for him. Well, he bought it for like six hundred
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: million and sold it for six billion. So these sports
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: franchises are pretty amazing. I want to see the paperwork
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: on the Yankees deal because the Yankees that that to me,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: is going to be the big kahuna, you know. Just
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: it'll show how much the Yankees are worth, which it
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: could be some astronomical thing. The guy who runs the Yankees,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know, if you know, on the business side,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: is Randy Levine. One of the smartest business I know him.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Randy Levine is literally it's all about gay. I taught
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to Randy almost every day.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I was sitting as gay guy in the world, but.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I was shust in his box two nights ago. Him
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and I become so close, so close, And I'll tell
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you something to your point. This guy Rowland spent about
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: two point six billion. I don't know the exact figure
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: of what percentage of the Yankees he bought, but I
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: guarantee you it's less than twenty And if that's the case,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: how much of the Yankees worth.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: The worth gazillion? I don't know, ten billion, I don't know.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I don't value these things. But the
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Yankees are a pretty amazing franchise record of winning. Randy's
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: an amazing businessman. I mean, he figures out ways to
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: put people in the seats in a lot of different way.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's a it's a well run organization.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: What they don't have is maybe what they got now.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I mean remember Steve Cohen has that Hedge fund, right,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I mean that's part of his net worth. He can
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: buy you know, he can he can finance players with that.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I think having access to Apollo, which is a very
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: good private equity firm, by the way, very smart people there,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: and I know the people well, is a great partnership
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: for the Yankees. So we'll see. It's you know, you
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: got to I want to see what the deal closes.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: We'll find out all this stuff. It's gonna be my
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: view is good. You know, it's gonna be eye popping
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: me huge.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know Randy Levine is also President Trump
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: has put him in charge.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I don't you know this page.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Sports I broke. I broke a lot of stories on
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: the sports to reform the college sports.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: That's exactly right.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: And even though that one day it was Urban Meyer
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and Tiger Woods and and Nick Saban and all these guys,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: A lot of those guys are there that day, But
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the brunt of the work is really going to Randy Levine.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Randy Levine Milk mostly with you know, an assist
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: from ron Ron DeSantis as well. You know, they're doing
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: it together. I interviewed DeSantis at the Milicon conference back
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: in May a little bit about this, and uh, you know, listen,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: they got a proposal on the table. They have bipartisan legislation.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Let's see where it goes. I'm sure Randy's working on
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: this right now. It got guy. Guy's got his hands
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: on a lot of things. He should be. He should
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: be mayor.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Be mayor great, be great.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: You know by the way, he was deputy mayor. You
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: know that on the rooty he's very good at it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: So let let's uh. I don't want to give away
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: too much because I think when because I don't know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: to be honest with you, but I'm just like being
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: a business reporter here. When we see the fine print
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: on this deal, it's gonna be eye popping on this
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Yankees deal. It's gonna you look for the valuation, look
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: for you know what, you know what what what Apaul's
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: roll the Yankees will be. It will be because it
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: does it gives them access to capital. I mean that's
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the whole thing, which you know, not that they were
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: lackey in the in the you know before, but they
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: didn't have it like the Mets had. I mean the
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Mets have this. I mean, Steve Cohen's got a lot
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: of money. He's got twenty l if I checked his
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: hedgephone was at twenty million. Right, you're wrong, but it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: in that job.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: No, it is. That's exactly what it is. You're exactly right.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: So he's got that, he's got that money.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Team still the team still sucks. But that's okay.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm an old. You know, here's the thing.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: When I was a kid, other than the Bronx, but
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I became a Mets fan like some reason. My dad
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: liked the Mets, and you know, I just can't watch
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: him now. I just you know I can't. I'd rather
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: watch the Yankees. He too.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I turned after fifty nine years, I became a diehard
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yankee fan. I'm in Randula Vine's box almost every home series.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I left the Mets behind.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Part of my reason was because of this Mom Donna relationship,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and anybody who likes Mom Donnie I'm not okay with.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: So I've become very immature on that respect. That you
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: don't like Trump and you like Mom Donnie, I'm done
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: with you and the ya.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, what's what's the like about the guy? To smile?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: But the Mets they love him, and Steve Cohen welcomes
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: him to city Field and he hugs mister.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I know his politics a little bit. Steve Cone is
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: not like some crazy Monday.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: But what is his politics?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Because we know that Levine loves Trump, Levin works with Trump.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Trump is at Nicky Stadium every year. I don't see
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: President Trump going to City Field. And last I heard
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong, was that Skyri Mouchi and Steve
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Cohen they gave money to Chris Christy. So what is
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Steve Cohen?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: That's true?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: That is true.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Chris Christy is and by the ways, not the worst thing.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Chris is a nice guy, but an idiot.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Be quiet, stop that it's an idiot.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe a nice guy, but he's an idiot.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: That he's not an idiot. You disagree with him, He's
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: not an idiot.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: He's a backstamping, disloyal, fat jerk.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: That's what he is.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: See what he did the Trump? Why did you do that
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the Trump? Or what did Trump said?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I don't like what he did?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: He cost under George Washington Bridge.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: What did he do he cost traffic on the George
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Washington Bridge.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, that as somebody that used to have to take
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: the GWB to City from New York, from Manhattan to
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: ce NBC when I work there. That is a crime.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: High cry.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: The worst thing he's ever done, the worst thing he's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: ever done, is.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: He's the governor, the executable part.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: The governor of New Jersey shows up to a home
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: football game in New Jersey for the Giants and he
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: sits in Jerry Jones box with the Dallas Cowboys.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I like Jerry Jones. You ever meet him?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, Charlie.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Wait, you know what? You know what the brandy dress
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: of Jerry Jones.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I know I like Jerry Jones, but not when he's
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: playing my Giants in New Jersey.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Come he's like, he's not reasons I really hate the guy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: He should put him on his show.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: He won't come on.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Oh really he's so think believe it or not, he's
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: too thin skinned.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah if Cohen, I don't think is you know, politically
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: is not aligned with mont Damie.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I just know, probably not. I agree with you.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: He's more of a he's more of our you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: regular Republican, not a maga Republican. I would see that
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: you know, but I don't know. It's just you know,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: we need more peace and love, don't don't we No.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: No, no, we don't. More peace and love is going
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: to drive you to a Muslim nation? Is that what
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: you want?
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: What was the the well, that's true, you know if
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: we you know, there's something you know, you don't want
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: to be accepting of everything, right, every stupid thing he's
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: supposed to be accepting of. And we're a little too
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: much on that, right, But there's a word for that. Casey,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I need another cup of coffee.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: How you come on with me? You may need to Charlie.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't be going you know, you know I
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I love it in the morning, you know, you know
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: between you and I miss you know, you know you
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: learn from one of the best. And uh, you know
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: you know you talk about fingers and orphs? Is a
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: early you imus want to ask me? I mean he
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: was so crazy one one day he goes, well, we're
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: apper during Thanksgiving because it was that years ago, you know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: it was what spent Thanksgiving. My you're starting in trouble
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: because you're a cantankerous guys and now no, I you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: hang out with my nephew and geese. And my little
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: niece has a has a cat named Whiskers, And I said, yeah,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm gonna, you know, put whiskers in the
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: oven and make some whiskers parmesan. And you know where
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: he went after that? Yeah, I could see my niece
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: with But I mean, that's how crazy I was. I know,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: you learn from it. That's that's why you're so.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: My detractor say, somebody's got to convinced Rosenborg that the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: days of imus are over. Really, I got a seven
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: point four last week. I guess they're not.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I do want to row.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean great radio was great radio, folks.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Bottom line, Uh, this story about Paramount, this is a
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: big deal. They may be moving out of the Big Apple,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: maybe California as well. This is maybe I'm long, but
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: hundreds of billions of dollars? What is going on here?
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I mean I put on both ends just so you
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: know this is me speaking both ends. Very low odds.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, these are discussions. I think it's a higher
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: odd about California because they have so much infrastructure there.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I think the CBS thing and I don't think he
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: really wants to do it. If he has to. He will.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I mean he might. I think he's more likely to
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: downsize CBS here in New York, maybe sell the building.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I mean I've heard that. I mentioned that in the story.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: But I think the trend here is not the friend
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: of these lefties. You know, I will say this, and
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: we're talking about he meaning David Elison. David Elison is
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: teaching a lesson to the New York City business community.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: All these business guys here in New York while they
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: do is complain about Mandami, but they don't do anything
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: about it. Now. I know, I'm not supposed to say,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: move out of New York and hurt New York, but
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: that is their only pressure point. If they start putting
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: people in other cities more of it, ramping that up,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: that will put pressure on him and the tax base,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: and that will put pressure that will defund socialism. What
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: he is saying, David Ellison is saying, and listen, this
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: guy's a smart guy. He learned from his old man.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: The old man is Larry Elson, co founder of Oracle,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: one of the richest guys in the world, brilliant, tough guy.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: He is a friend of Trump, and David Ellison is
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: a moderate political guy. So I don't know why they
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: keeps saying he's maggot and he's not turning CBS magnet
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: by ay in any stretches.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: But although he does a Bowie weinstam and she's not
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: maggot by any stretch. But she's certainly more common sense
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and other networks.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: She's great, She's doing a great I don't care what
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: anybody says. She's doing a very good job. And I agree.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I don't see, you know, people are sitting there. I mean,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: what's the difference between sixty minutes now and then they Oh,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: now they asked the White House when they do a
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: nafty story on Trump for a comment. Oh, that's the
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: only difference exactly. But this guy is teaching this Ellison
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: guy is teaching New York business people what to do.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: They want to screw with you. First off, this deal,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: there's no anti trust in this deal. I've interviewed liberal
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: anti trust lawyers could serve there's no anti trust. You
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: combine two studios. Guess what, no one cares anymore because well,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: the tech is in it. There's so much competition. You're
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: you're taking a number three streamer with like a number
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: ten in combining it, there's they might be able to
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: compete with Netflix. This company together is strong enough to
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: compete separate. Let's just say they were separate, right, Warner
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Brothers has gazillions in debts. Okay, they they're gonna have
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: to sell to somebody, sometimes Paramount. On the other hand,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: if they don't have the deep pockets of Ellison, Uh,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: they're gonna have to cut costs like there's no tomorrow.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think Larry Elson wants to throw any more
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: money into that thing. But that's what they're separate. If
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: they're combined, they're stronger to compete against Netflix, Amazon, Apple.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: These guys are living in a dream world. If they
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: think separately, this is a this is a great deal.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Now the only thing positive for Warner Brothers if it
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: doesn't happen, they a breakup fee of like seven billion dollars.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of money. But they still that'll give
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: them two years time to sell because they still act
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: to sell.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I got to sell them out a lot, right. So
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: about two minutes ago, I want to go back to
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: a column that you just weapons which I enjoyed, where
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: you talked about New York business leaders, big money guys
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: who bitch and complain about Mom Donnie, but not really
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: like I bitch and complain about Mom Donnie. I'm a psycho. Okay,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: they don't really And I think the only name you mentioned.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: If I'm wrong, I'm sorry, but I read it. I
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: think the only name you mentioned was Jamie Diamond. You
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: want to name some names on this show this morning.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Like, I know Bill.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Ackman likes to tweet every now and then, but what
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: is he really doing?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: What does he do well?
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I you know, listen, Jamie Diamond is a different than Bill.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Bill Lackman has a hedge fund which doesn't have the
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: biggest footprint here in New York. And I mean it
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: does have the foot comans here, but it's not like
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: he employees hundreds of thousands of people. Jamie Diamonds is
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: much more of a of a sort of pillar in
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: terms of employment in the city. My point with Jamie
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Diamond is that when he brought and I like Jamie Diamond,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: trust me, and I've known the guy for years, when
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: he brought MONDAMMI in. And this is why I try
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: to call it straight. I mean, Jamie got mad at
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: me when I did this, but that's fine. But I
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: try to call it straight. You know, he brought Mondami in.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: He should have read him the Riot Act instead of
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: handing him a book on public private partnerships. And I
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: said the same thing about David Solomon of of Goldman,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: you know, and he goes, he goes to he wants
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: to at least come to Montdammie with the JP Morgan headquarts.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: You know, Muzomon went to brazy mansion I think, or
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: you know, went to city Hall.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I not sure.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: And again you know they also and this is right
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: after the Ken Griffin thing where he did that stunt. Listen,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: I don't care that Ken Griffin has to pay a
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: little more money in peditariy tax, you know for a
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: second home. You don't like, you don't like go in
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: front of the guy's house and make him a symbol
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: of this in this environment. It's to say, it's very
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: dangerous and it's stupid, and you know, and it's it's
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: what the communists do, you know, they make they make
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: examples out of people. And prayed him in front of him.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is the old communist trope. And I
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: and I say the same thing. So my popoint with
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Jamie diamond is that he could have been tough for now.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I guarantee you if Ackman had to sit down with
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: my Dommy, he'd lay into him. I just know he would.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, good, good, I mean I think so too. He's
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: been pretty critical on Twitter, but so and so with.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Dan Lobe and so, you know another's heads fun guy.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know they would lay into him now.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: But that's different because you know, you really something.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: To You do know that.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Anthony Scaramucci, on the other hand, has said that mcdonnie's
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: done some good things.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. You know, Anthony's my friend for many years.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: But what I don't understand is what's getting into his
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: what happens, I don't know.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: He's gone crazy.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Well, those that's why he should never work for Trump.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Did something happened in those twelve days?
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Something bad?
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Maybe tis I don't know.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Listen, I loved him too.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: We were very close him and his wife DeAndre, with
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Danielle and I and we had great dinners over at
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: this restaurant and I.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Really really liked them.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: And then, like you said, eleven days with Trump and
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: he's gone completely bonkers since he tries to play it
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: both ways. But he clearly has disdain for us.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: He does well, not for us, for conservatives.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Well that's ran. What do you mean, that's rya.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Do you think do you think Putin might have poisoned him? Like, yes,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: snuck into.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: The White House, that's the answer.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe Nelson Brad poisoned him.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Nelson who.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Well don't they work together at that restaurant?
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Well yeah, I don't know. That was kind of
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: likes Mega fight.
