- 0:32Speaker 2: Gracie Mansion last night. I wanted to know what the
- 0:36Speaker 2: turnout was, but I also want to know why I
- 0:39Speaker 2: can't find out about it at all. Isn't it considered newsworthy?
- 0:43Speaker 1: Oh it's you can find it. It's in the New

- 0:58Speaker 1: Okay, nine anyway, thanks. It was about four hundred people
- 1:02Speaker 1: turned out. They look like very peaceful. Now they were
- 1:05Speaker 1: Israeli flags. There was a get rid of Mom Donnie's signs.
- 1:08Speaker 1: But it was peaceful, it was orderly, and it was
- 1:10Speaker 1: very nice. It was a protest against Mom Donnie for
- 1:13Speaker 1: his anti Semitism, anti Israel nonsense, spreading all that hate
- 1:17Speaker 1: and lies and stuff.
- 1:19Speaker 2: And any counter protest.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Yeah, believe it or not, they tried to organize a
- 1:24Speaker 1: we Love Mom Donnie counter protest. It was across the street.
- 1:28Speaker 1: It was about twelve people, mostly staff. I think, oh good,
- 1:32Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Yeah. It was not a big not
- 1:35Speaker 1: a big protest, but it got the point across. You're right,
- 1:39Speaker 1: it should get more coverage, should be more media there.
- 1:43Speaker 1: But you can if you go in the New York
- 1:44Speaker 1: Post article, you'll see they have pictures of the protesters there. So,
- 1:48Speaker 1: but they were orderly and there were nice people. Let's
- 1:51Speaker 1: go to Rob in Long Island. Rob. How you doing, Hey, Mark,
- 1:55Speaker 1: how are you doing?
- 1:56Speaker 2: So?
- 1:57Speaker 1: Educate me a little bit here.
- 1:59Speaker 3: So in New York City housing authority.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Like the or landlord in New York City.
- 2:05Speaker 4: Yes, so, if Madami is going to be, you know,
- 2:08Speaker 4: taking assuming these properties, how's that going to work?
- 2:11Speaker 1: It's not, it's not. But that's why it's Mam Donnie.
- 2:14Speaker 1: It's Mom Donnie. You remember, Democrats don't believe in science.
- 2:17Speaker 1: They never follow the science when it comes to the economy.
- 2:20Speaker 1: They don't follow the science when it comes to how
- 2:23Speaker 1: to run housing, there's a science and how to do it.
- 2:25Speaker 1: They don't follow it. Nightsche The New York City Housing
- 2:28Speaker 1: Authority worst landlords in the world. Can you brought up
- 2:31Speaker 1: a great point? They're totally horrible.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Forget it and forget about the NGOs, aren't Isn't this
- 2:36Speaker 4: like you know the biggest fraud that we're finding everywhere
- 2:39Speaker 4: in the United States is the engine.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all we put a ton of money. We
- 2:44Speaker 1: put so much money into knights You it should look
- 2:46Speaker 1: like the taj Mahal, but it's all wasted bloat, fraud, kickbacks, corruption,
- 2:51Speaker 1: It's just awful. So Mam Donnie's idea of if the
- 2:55Speaker 1: landlord's bad way will take over, well, you have a history,
- 2:58Speaker 1: are you mean? And the government of being the absolute
- 3:00Speaker 1: worst landlords of all And I think here he is
- 3:05Speaker 1: talking about this Knightscha stuff. The New York City housing horrible.
- 3:08Speaker 4: We cannot afford to wait any longer. This five point
- 3:12Speaker 4: six billion dollar capital commitment is a significant investment that
- 3:16Speaker 4: will both unlock the kinds of conditions that too many
- 3:20Speaker 4: Nightscha residents have been denied, and also serves as an
- 3:24Speaker 4: invitation to every other party to start to come to
- 3:28Speaker 4: the table to deliver on these kinds of investments for Nitscha.
- 3:33Speaker 1: So six billion, five point six billion, that's like six
- 3:36Speaker 1: billion dollars, you know, Ken Griffin spending six billion on
- 3:40Speaker 1: a building. It's at Park Avenue and fifty second Street.
- 3:43Speaker 1: It's like a block long. It's a hundred story skyscraper,
- 3:48Speaker 1: absolute state of the arts, super luxury. That's what you
- 3:50Speaker 1: get for six billion when the private sector spends it,
- 3:54Speaker 1: When you spend it with the government, you get Nitscha housing,
- 3:56Speaker 1: which is totally decrepit, totally awful. And he just told you,
- 4:01Speaker 1: Remember he says right there this nights youa housing is awful.
- 4:05Speaker 1: It's horrible, it's substandard. Well, who do you blame for that?
- 4:09Speaker 1: Blame the Democrats. They've been in power for twelve years.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Democrats have controlled everything, city hall, city council, state legislature,
- 4:18Speaker 1: and governor's office. All have been Democrats for twelve years.
- 4:20Speaker 1: So if everything stinks, it's obviously their fault. Let's go
- 4:24Speaker 1: to Blouvelt in Florida. Blouvelt, how you doing.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark Simon, How good? Okay? Did you get
- 4:35Speaker 3: your fill of hot dogs on your long weekend tip away?

- 4:40Speaker 3: Phill of hot dogs?
- 4:42Speaker 1: Oh no, I didn't have any a hot dog guy.
- 4:45Speaker 1: I love hot dogs. I tried to eat them very rarely,
- 4:48Speaker 1: and the only time I like. The best hot dogs
- 4:50Speaker 1: in the world are Costco. That's still the best hot
- 4:52Speaker 1: dog on earth. Another reason is that fun they make
- 4:56Speaker 1: the best hot dog fun Costco hot talk sausages.
- 5:02Speaker 3: When I was making hot dogs and sausages back in Jersey,
- 5:06Speaker 3: we always build up a big, big inventory going to
- 5:09Speaker 3: Memorial Day weekend. And I can tell you every Memorial
- 5:13Speaker 3: Day that I can remember always rains.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. We have a history of bad weather
- 5:18Speaker 1: on Memorial Days. But Costco the best hot dog. Will
- 5:20Speaker 1: give an honorable mention to Walters in Memernick Walters has

- 5:45Speaker 1: go to Maria in Manhattan. Maria, how you doing?
- 5:49Speaker 4: It's just fine, thank you very much.
- 5:51Speaker 3: A quick question.
- 5:53Speaker 4: If the city is going to take over badly run buildings,
- 5:56Speaker 4: who's going to take over Nightjae.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Well that's the problem. And you know, if you look
- 6:01Speaker 1: back at who they've sent in there to run NISA,
- 6:03Speaker 1: some top people, really good people. But it's a mess.
- 6:05Speaker 1: It's just a bloated, awful bureaucracy. They get absolutely nothing done.
- 6:11Speaker 1: They don't know how to run anything. They can't even
- 6:14Speaker 1: fix potholes. I mean, you can't fill a pothole, how
- 6:17Speaker 1: are you going to run housing? Hey, speaking of that,
- 6:20Speaker 1: that's sinkhole in Long Island. There may be another explanation
- 6:24Speaker 1: for that. We'll get to it coming up. You know,
- 6:26Speaker 1: we're talking last week, I said, but there's infrastructure under highways,
- 6:30Speaker 1: pipes and everything, and when they're really old and they
- 6:33Speaker 1: rust and joints break, you know, it can flood and
- 6:38Speaker 1: that causes the sink of Well, it may not be that.
- 6:40Speaker 1: It may there was apparently construction going on in the area. Well,
- 6:44Speaker 1: we'll get to we'll get to it in the next hour.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Coming up, next we'll talk to the great Howie car
- 6:48Speaker 1: one of the great talk show hosts in the world.
- 6:52Speaker 1: We'll do that next on seven to ten wor
