• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Back studios. Whow is it Friday and Thursday? One more day,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: one more day Thursday. But it's going to beautiful. They've
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: changed the weather forecast. It was supposed to be rain,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: no rain. Now for the next three four days it'll
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: be great. So Mam Donnie driving people all over Manhattan nuts.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: You know, you voting these socialists, and so they're opening
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: these shelters, and you know, these shelters involve a lot
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of people on drugs, drinking all that, and it kind
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of causes problems all over the neighborhood. They opened one
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: at fifty ninth and twelfth. They put them in strange places.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Fifty ninth and twelfth. You know, there's a CBS building
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: there that's fifty seventh and twelfth. There's a big skyscraper
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: with the BMW Dealer that's fifty seventh and twelfth, over
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to fifty eighth, then you go over to fifty ninth.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of apartment buildings and these you know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: when you drive down the West Side Highway and you
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: see these unbelievable it's like twelve no more than they're
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: like seventeen high rises in a row, most of them
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: built by Donald Trump, and then a couple of new ones. Says,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, just magnificent skyscrapers. That this is not the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: place for a homeless shelter. It's really not, and it's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: not good for the neighborhood. And you know, if you
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: bought one of those apartments two years ago, you didn't
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: know there'd be a homeless shelter near you. And this
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: is like the Blasio type stuff. Remember he was going
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to open a homeless shelter next to Carnegie Hall, like
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: just ridiculous. So there's another one opening. They're trying to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: stop it. Eighty sixth and Third Avenue. It's like a nice,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: fancy neighborhood. They don't need a homeless shelter there, and
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it's a crazy place for a homeless shelter. But this
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is Mom Donnie tax the rich, annoy the rich, drive
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the rich crazy. Now there's a lot of rich guys
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: getting together and they're all talking about moving, leaving, going
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to Florida or something, and they want to call their
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: movement defund socialism. You know, you keep talking about defund ice,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: defund the police. Well they could defund socialism easily but
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: just leaving, and there's no more tax revenue because those
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: wealthy people, the rich that they yell about, actually pay
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: all the taxes. The top one percent pays forty eight
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: percent of the tax the top ten percent pays it
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: all like eighty percent of the taxes. So that movement
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: might gain some steam. You know, in Florida, they really
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: love Mom Donnie. He's got brought them a lot of businesses,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of corporations, a lot of wealthy guys who
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: pay a fortune in taxes. Jared Kushner has a brother,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Josh Kushner. He just a big guy in La. He
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: just partnered up with Bob Eiger, the former Disney chairman.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: The two of them just bought the Los Angeles Lakers,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the big basketball team they now own. That cost billions
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of dollars they spent I don't know what it was,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: six billion or something, but it's a lot of fun
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to own a team. Besides all the other stuff, you
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: got your big luxury suite. Every night, and every big star, celebrity, dignitary,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: everybody who's anybody, who's everybody, who's anybody, who's who all
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: want to sit in that suite. So every night it's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: like a party in there. Now, that's one reason these
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: guys love to have these teams. Let's say you're Woody
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Johnson and you're the worst owner in the history of sports. Literally,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: he is the worst owner in the history of sports.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Under his leadership, the Jets have been an absolute, complete
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: total disaster for years and years and years and years.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: There's no chance they'll ever come out of this slump.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: It's not even a slump. It's just a disaster. It's
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the worst thing ever. Why would you know, Maybe you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: try for another couple of years, but after about ten years, whatever,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you just say, I really stink at this. Let
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: me just sell the team. He bought it for six
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: hundred million, and now it's worth ten billion. Let me
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: take the ten billion. And if it were you, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you'd say, this is embarrassing to have this kind of record.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I've guy look like the biggest idiot in the world.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I'll take the ten billion and go do something else.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: But then you give up that luxury suite, and every
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: big person in the world wants to come sit with
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you in that suite. And if you're you know, a quiet,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: little billionaire without much personality, well, this is a good
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: thing for you to attract a lot of friends, so
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they don't sell the team. Now the Yankees, on the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: other hand, why this is one of the most successful,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: what probably the most successful, greatest franchise ever in sports,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and the Steinberner kids run it now. Randy Levine, the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: brilliant guy, does a great job there. And they just
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: got a partner, Big Hedge Fund put six billion into
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the Yankees just for a piece of it. That's six
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: billion just for a piece of it. So you can
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: imagine if that's the only part ownership, what the whole
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: franchise must be worth. Now that's got to put it
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: at twelve billion, fifteen billion, greatest franchise in the history
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of sports. So one of the partners in the La Lakers.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: That's why these guys Iiger and Josh Kushner, they will
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: be the toast of LA. Now this is the brother
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of Jared Kushner. Now look at the two different things
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you could be doing. Josh Kushner owns the Lakers. Now
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: he'll be like the king of social life in LA.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Jared Kushner is in Riad or some place, I don't know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: negotiating with Iranians, which one would you rather do have
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: fun in the suite at the Lakers game or be
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: fighting with some Iranians? And you know, when you're fighting
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: with these Iranians, you know you're gonna end up with
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: death threats and a target. And who the hell would
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: want these kind of roles in life. Steve Whitcoff, you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: he used to be in Manhattan negotiating real estate deals.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Now he's in the Middle East fighting with a bunch
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: of lunatic fifteenth century Iranian morons. So hey, Howard Stern
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: apparently had this rule. You know, the Howard Stern Show
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: is kind of shutting down. It's getting smaller and smaller
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and smaller. And it was two hundred people, it's one
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: hundred people, it's fifty people, it's thirty people, it's ten people.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Every time you get second rid of these people, even
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: with the non disclosure agreement, stuff starts to leak out
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people are griping about the Howard
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Stern Show apparently had this rule. It sounds kind of crazy,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: but apparently there was a dress code for women, not
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: for men, just for women. There was this crazy dress
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: code and the women were not allowed to wear sneakers.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: That was the big thing. No sneakers if you're a woman,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And they argued that the celebrities, all kinds of people
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: are coming. You have to be dressed if you're a woman,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: but not for men. The men could wear sneakers, but
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: not the women, and sounds kind of crazy, sounds kind
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: of a sexist. Nowadays, you know, just about everybody's wearing sneakers.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: You know, you go to any major corporation, especially in
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the tech world, the media world, the chairman of the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: board is wearing sneakers. It's always the case. So I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: don't know why Stern would be like and for a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: guy like Stern to have a dress code. You ever
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to look at him, he looks like he robbed a scarecrow.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: He's always he dressed like a scarecrow. Who the hell
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: is he to tell anybody how to dress? Hard to believe,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: but the staff up in arms about it. You know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: it's like wearing a tie. Do you ever see anybody
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: wear a tie anymore? The only time I ever wear
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a tie is if I'm a TV or I got
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: an MC something in front of a big audit that
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: maybe then you wear a tie. Nobody wears a tie
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: at work. And you go to the bank, nobody wears
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a tie. Go to Wall Street, nobody wears a tie. Here,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: iHeart major media company. I didn't nobody with a tie.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You know, if you're coming to a major office building,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a big office building, and you got a jacket and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: tie on, they assume you're the security guard. That's the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: only person wearing a tie anymore. Yeah. You go to Fox,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I was there yesterday. Security guards all have a suit
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and tie. The anchors have a suit and tie. Everybody
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: else dressed like a slob. That's every company in the world,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: everybody everywhere. Hey, Bill Gates has a daughter, Phoebe, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates's daughter apparently is being indicted and facing twenty
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: years in prison. She has a tech business, some kind
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of tech company. Bill Gates funded it. Phoebe Gates is
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: twenty three and she's now facing a maximum penalty of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: twenty years in prison. And what is the crime cookie stuffing? Ooh,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: cookie stuffing. It's a multi billion dollar startup. Now what
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the hell is cookie did? The digital crimes that you
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: wouldn't know none of us know about. Cookie stuffing is
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: an illicit practice that if you have an online business.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: You know, when they go to your computer, they put
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: cookies into your computer, and the cookies signal things. So
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: apparently there's a thing called cookie stuffing where you put
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: more cookies than you really need and it makes your
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: numbers on your website go up. It makes it look
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: like you had more sales. It's a way of committing fraud.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: It makes it look like you look you had more sales,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: more customers, more refuse. Apparently it's a big crime. I
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: don't know. To me, it's a pretty silly thing to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: arrest somebody again, you're gonna end up in prison. And
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the guy goes, what are you here for? Cookie stuffing?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: It sounds like one very stupid crime, but it comes
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: with a maximum penalty of twenty years in federal prison.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: And Bill Gates, of course, being the honest man that
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he is, when they asked him about it, he said,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: hmaa ahmanahamanahamana. He doesn't know about it. He never heard
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of her. So it's a pretty serious thing though, But
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: whereas I think it's if it's in California, where it's
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: probably a Seattle or someplace that she's getting charged with
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: all this pretty bad Elon Musk This guy, Elon Musk,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: is unbelievable. You know, he invents the Tesla, the invents
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the rockets. I mean, it's unbelievable what this guy does.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Now look at this. He's now building the biggest building
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: in the history of the world, the single biggest building
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: ever built. It's gonna be a factory or a headquarters
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: for Tesla and SpaceX. It will be Grimes County, Texas.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Now listen to this. The building will be one hundred
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: million square feet. One hundred million square feet. The biggest
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: building in the world right now is in China. It's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: a special global center. This will be five times the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: size of that. This building will be bigger than the Pentagon,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Apple Park and the Mall of America combined. It will
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: be an advanced semiconductor lab that will bridge the divide
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: between current global chip supply and the compute demand of
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the future. I don't know what the hell that is,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: but I guess it needs a very big building. It
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: will produce chips optimized for edge computing and inference for
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: use in hardware like Optimus robots and self driving cybercaps,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: along with high power chips designed for operating SpaceX's space
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: based data centers. Oh my god, I got a headache.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I gotta rest just from that sentence. You know, there's
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: all these things you can do in life. Take this
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: job for instance. You come in here, you talk for
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: an hour, you leave. It's simple. If somebody said, well,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: what do you do we talk for on the radio?
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: We talk, have fun and that's it. If you ask
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: this guy to explain what are you do in that building?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Who the hell could figure out what they do in there.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: But it's the biggest single building, one hundred million square feet,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: just outside of Houston, Grimes County, Texas, just outside of Houston.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: The first phase of the building, it's gonna be built
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: in a couple faces. First phase of the building will
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: cost seventeen billion. That's why this guy Musk, you know,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: love more hate him. This guy's an amazing guy. I mean,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the things he does, the things he pulls off. Now,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I saw this study that came out that ranks the states.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: What's the greatest state to live in? What's the most
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: beautiful best state you could live in? New Jersey is
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: number two. Now wait a minute here, we love New Jersey.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: There's wonderful parts of New Jersey. But number two number two.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Did anybody watch The Sopranos and go, wow, I would
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: love to live there. It looks like a paradise. Now,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I don't trust the survey at all because let me
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: see here. I guess what number one is. Number one
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: is Idaho. Wait a minute, I don't know about this study.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: New Jersey got to score fifty nine point forty one.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Now listen. It says, despite notoriously high property tax costs
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a living, New Jersey's high median wages, top tier healthcare.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: It was pretty good healthcare in New Jersey, but it's
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: better probably in New York. Proximity to major economic hubs
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: like New York City and Philadelphia make it a draw. Yeah,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know about this study. Wallet hub did the study.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Who's going to listen to wallet Hub? I mean it
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: depends New Jersey. Again, there's beautiful parts of New Jersey,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: but when you come out of that tunnel, you are
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: driving through smoke stacks and oil tanks for all kinds
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: of industrial crap for about twenty minutes before you get anywhere.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: You know, are all these people that are taking ozempic
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and what's the other one. There's a bunch of these
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: GLP one shots, these weight loss shots, and it makes
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you eat less, and they work. I mean they got
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: side affection. You get nauseous, but you'll eat a lot less.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: So when you go out, you can't eat a whole portion.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: You're lucky if you can take a few bites. So
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of restaurants have had to create an ozempic
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: menu where you can order, but you'll get a much,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: much smaller portion. And apparently I never thought about this,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: but when you take these shots, you also can't drink
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: as much. It kills your appetite for alcohol and drinking,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: so you can't finish a whole drink anymore. So restaurants
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: are now serving many cocktails. That's a big thing. Now.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Ozempic men use mini Martini's only one point five ounces
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: baby negronies, And now I don't think they bring down
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the price exactly accordingly, so they probably build a little
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: more profit into the mini drink. Hey, Jimmy Fayler will
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: be this in a few minutes. We'll take some calls
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: next eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. You
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: want to argue about the best place to live eight
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: hundred three two one zero seven ten. And we always
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: love to hear from new callers. If you never called before,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: give us a call eight hundred three two one zero
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: seven ten
