  Speaker 2: Little little rain maybe in a couple of areas tonight,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: maybe late Friday night, but that's about it. So you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: this Ice detention center in New Jersey, Democrats now trying
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: to make it, weaponize it, make it a big political issue.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: You know, the problem was Christy Nome just publicized the
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: hell out of Ice. It's an unpleasant thing having to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: arrest these illegals and deport them and get them out
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: of there and detain them. And it's necessary, it's the
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: right thing to do. You can't have all these illegals
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: running around. Many of them become criminals and all of that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Many of them don't, but you know the ones that do,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you start there and you got to get him out
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: of the country. But it's an unpleasant thing to do.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: You don't want to have to do it. I mean,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: so you do it quietly, you know, as Tom Holman.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Tom Holman's been doing this for years. He was doing
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: it under Obama for eight years. You never heard of him,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: you never saw him, because he knows do it quietly.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Christy Nome is, you know, making headlines with it, publicizing it,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: showing it, instagramming it, showing up with a helmet and
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: combat geara you keep it quiet, just do it quietly.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: So they got rid of That's one reason they got
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to rid of Christi Nome, just to tone this whole
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: thing down. So it's going on very quietly. You never
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: would have known that there's a detention center in New Jersey,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: but that crazy left wing governor Mikey Cheryl and some
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: others what's his name Menendez his kid want to make
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: an issue out of it. So they're barricading, screaming and yelling.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They want to see the facility. Why won't you let
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: us in? Why won't you let us see it? Now
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: they're all lying. Meninda's actually had a tour of it
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: days before. Doesn't admit to that. Mikey Cheryl, the governor,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: could see it anytime she wants. You call up Ice.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: You make arrangements for them to bring you in and
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: show you around. You don't just show up with a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: mob screaming at the front gate. That's not how you
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: do it. So there's protesters. They've ginned this up so
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that there's protesters outside the Ice Detention Center. Fox News
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: sends a reporter to cover the protest outside the Ice Center.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And you know, these crazy left wingers, if they see
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a Fox logo on the microphone, they go nuts and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: they this group started cursing. This is live on television.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Fox News Reporter Live, and they're cursing, saying every disgusting
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: four letter word. Listen to the reporter.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: And so the other situation because there's people like this.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: You are a protester who has been out here and
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: you have a dirty mouth. But okay, so that's just
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: what we deal with. So just for people that want,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I know what it's like to cover these protests, it's
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: constant with this. This is what these people do. They
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: want people who are in this country illegally to be
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: red out onto the streets. It just says that's what
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: they're gonna not.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: We had a bleep most of words. You heard the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: word Nazi in there. But pretty ugly stuff. So President
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Trump another big night last night. All of the people
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: he can't stand got voted out. Cornn lost badly. As
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you heard earlier, two hundred and fifty four counties in Texas.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Cornn won two of them, actually one and a half.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: One's not a real county, one only has a couple
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: hundred people in it. Al Green got tossed out. He's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: that angry, nasty congressman. Remember he's the one that cursed
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and screamed and yelled during the State of the Union.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Al Green the congressman, you know how he car was
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: on last hour he pointed out he might be right
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: that the reason Algreen originally got elected is the name Malgreene.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: They might have thought it's a but it's not. It's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a different to Algren. It's a bad Algreen. So this
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: mom Donnie's scheme. First, he's got the supermarket scheme. Remember
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: he said thirty million for the supermarket. If you ask
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the big supermarket chains, Cristiti's or Wegman's or any of them,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: there's a million supermarket chains Stagastinas. Yeah, they all know
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. They'll tell you how much is it
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to open and build a supermarket, they'll tell you two
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: million bucks, Mam Donnie, spending thirty million. Now it turns
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: out it's another twenty five million that's already been thrown
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: in there for the area around the supermarket. Now it's
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: a whole scheme. It's a crazy scheme. I remember this, mom, Donnie.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Besides being a wacko socialist, he's just a college kid.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: We've never had a job, never worked, never run anything,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: never managed anything. Doesn't just totally illogical about everything. So
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: this uh supermarket for lower income people, for poor people
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: who can't pay the regular prices. It's going to The
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: idea is they'll sell everything cheap. And the way they're
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: going to do that the supermarket is a government supermarket,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: so they'll pay no rent, no taxes, and that way
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: they could sell it cheaper. Well, instead of trying to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: build supermarkets, if we want to just take supermarkets in
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the low income neighborhoods and arrange for them to have
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: no property tax and no rent, and in exchange for that,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: they'll cut the price simpler. And then their professional supermarket
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: people they know how to run the stuff, they know
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: how to get inventory and supply and all they know
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: how to run a supermarket. But uh, Mom, Donnie doesn't
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: think that way, so he's going to try to do
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: it himself. Now, this is a supermarket for very low
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: income people. He is spending a lot of money in
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: these supermarkets to put in electric charging stations outside for
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the electric cars. Now, there's nothing more expensive than electric car.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Electric car costs much more than a regular car. Why
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: he would think these are people you know on welfare
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: on this and that. Why you would think these people
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: would own electric cars living in the middle of Manhattan
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: or in the middle of the Bronx. They don't own
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: electric cars. You don't need the charging stations. Now, his
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: other scheme is do something about these landlords. If you're
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: a bad landlord, if your building is neglected too many complaints,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: they'll government will take over the building Hill he said, Well,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: they'll put it in the hands of a union or
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a tenants union or receiver. Well, it's basically the government
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: taken over the building. Here's Mandani.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: negligent owners and property managers, and for buildings that have
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: responsible stewards.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: That sounds good, doesn't it. Well, remember he's a communist.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: He's a socialist. He's a communist. What's it really about.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: It's what communists do, seizing private property, seizing private business.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: So you might have a very very bad landlord. But
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: this is the idea, is that the government, the government
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: will seize the property and take it over. That's pretty good.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: We have two visitors entering the studio. Now. The bible
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: of talk radio is Barrett Media, not just talk radio,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: music radio, sports radio. It's like the media website Barrett Media.
• 7:32

• 7:36
  Speaker 2: both run Barrett Media. They see the posters two years
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: in a row, I won number one show in America.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: We have both of them blown up and they're on
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the walls here. And Jason, you want to say a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: few words over there? Do these microphones actually work? We
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: have like seven microphones here. I don't know if they've
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: ever been turned on. So you are the number umber
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: one media website of the audio business. And you guys
• 8:04

• 8:39
  Speaker 5: got a bunch in the news talk world that are
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: going to be in the room. We've got the CEO
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: of Audissey. We've got a bunch of program directors, market managers,
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: talent all over the place.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's every major talk radio host in the world
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: all in one room. Try to get a word in.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. You got to wear ear must.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: That's the challenge. When you've got forty minutes and three
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: or four people, there's not enough time to get into things.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You had it in New York last year at

  Speaker 5: on West twenty third.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Street and if you if you really want to follow
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: not just talk radio, music radio, sports radio. Also you
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: got great coverage of TV and you know Colbert going
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: off with that kind of stuff. Just go to Barrett
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Media two rs to teas, right, yep, Barrettmedia dot com
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and start following it every day. It's a great, great website,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Barrettmedia dot com. You learn a lot. You won't need
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: all those stupid old Hollywood reporter.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what was up with that? I know we talked
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: to you for How did they do a list on
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: most influential in New York in media and not have
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: anybody from the entire audio or radio industry.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unbelievable, the Hollywood Reporter. It's a bunch of elitists,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: out of touch LA people. The most influential people in
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: New York. They had, like somebody from New York Magazine,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: which has twelve readers. They had people nobody's ever heard of.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: The guy who runs iHeart Bob Pittman cut a deal
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: with Netflix, is generating massive global reach for the entire industry.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: He's based here, and that guy's not on the list,
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: or Charlemagne the guy right, I know, I'm looking at
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: the list going how like you could debate should it
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: be Charlemagne, should it be Bob Pittman, should have Howard?
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: None of them on the list.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it'd be like the NPR guy with twelve
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: listeners who whispers like this, and then no Elvis Durant
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: who has like ten million listeners, Charlemagne who has ten
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: million listeners, or go upstairs that Buck Sexton ten million listeners.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Sean Hannity sixteen million listeners.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Hey, just to explain everybody, radio is there's some illusion
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: out there. Oh, radio is dying, nobody listens An not
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the case.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: No, it's not the case. Here's the deal. Radio is
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: more than just radio now. It's offered everywhere. It's the
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: content you're creating here right now that is going to
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: be in video, it's going to be in podcasts, it's
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: going to be in written form. And so there's never
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: been a better time to be an audio period. It's
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: just that it gets picked up in a lot of
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: different places. And because there's so much competition now, there's
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: more people creating audio than ever before. So because of that,
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: people might listen to you for an hour, whereas before
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: they listen for an hour and a half. Okay, but
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: there's more people listening to you for an hour now
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: than there are people that in the past. We're listening
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: for an hour and a half. So there's more interest
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: and content period. It's just that oftentimes the industry just
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: gets this negative rap and I don't think as an
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: industry we've done the best job at combating that. That's
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: why we do. What we do is to say, hey, listen,
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: there's you know, you just brought up all the examples
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: of Hannity's audience, Charlemage's audio. Millions of people are listening
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: to this every day. Go on the roadway in New
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: York City during afternoon drive traffic, and tell me that
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: people don't have a radio on.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: They all do.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: It's just that unfortunately it doesn't get its due and
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: video is such a it's an enticing format and medium
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: to a lot of advertisers, and that's what it's about.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: It's all about the advertising component. That's why these stories
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: come out. Everybody just trying to keep bad rates down.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty nine million people listen to the
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: radio every day. Sixty three million listen to AM radio
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: every day. So they'll tell you no one listens television
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: network Television twenty five million and dropping. So hey, Stephen Colbert,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: you've been covering him. Just announced a YouTube channel. That's
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: not an indication that nobody wanted to hire him. Wouldn't
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: you assume if he was anything that would bring in
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: any revenue? Netflix, somebody would have come to him, HBO.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: To be fair, I don't know his contractual situation, So
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: would a Netflix and Amazon, would a News Nation? Would
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: someone else hire him? Probably? Also, what does it cost
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: if they were losing forty million dollars on the show
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: and had a staff of two hundred people. Maybe people
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: don't want to put all those resources into it. And
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: maybe he doesn't want to do a show if he
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: doesn't have enough resource. So, and I also understand he's
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: trying to strike while the irons hot. If you are
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: going to need six to twelve months to deal with
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: legal stuff to go do content, you just go to
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: YouTube tomorrow and start doing it right. So we'll see
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: how it plays out. I got to believe somebody will
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: be interested in working with them at what level at
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: you know, at what cost? Is it effective? Like those
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: are going to be the big questions.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, daft at two hundred look at our control room.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: How many people work? You got two too, and they're
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: not even listening. That's how it is in most stations. Yeah,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I mean there was one engineer here every time I
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: was taught. He's laughing, laughing, boy, he was he laughing.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I go in there, I see he's watching a movie.

  Speaker 6: I doubt anybody in Chinatown is going to trace up
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: to East Hallan to go to a supermarket where they
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: can save a dime on a can of corn. It
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: makes you know, it makes no sense packed even you know,
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: except for maybe somebody in the neighborhood.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: No, and you could lower the price in every supermarket
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: in New York just like that. Just no property tax
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: on supermarkets and they'll cut exactly.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: And you know it's you know, we have Bloomberg opened
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: up these green markets all over Uptown. You know where
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: I used to live up on the Upper east Side
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: and I would go up to Spanish Harlem to go shopping.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: There was these green markets and every other corner green grocers,
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: and they were always empty. I'd be the only one
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: shopping there because nobody, you know who was like a
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: complete waste of money. You are a part of the
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: city to even establish these things. So these things don't work.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Now, why would you leave? You left the Upper east Side?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: You're in Florida. Where are you in Florida?
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: Don't ask? Don't ask.
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: Please.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: Every time I go back to I thought my rent
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: was too high, and now it's tripled, so I believe me.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Well, everybody, how bad it gets in Florida.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: It's horrible. As it's hurricane season, so NonStop, all they're
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: talking about is hurricane preparedness. It's like a hurricane, Hurricane
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: torn They love it. They can't stop talking about. Every
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: other word out of their mouth is hurricane, this hurricane.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: That's it's it's unnerving a billion old people doddering around.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: Believe me, Stay in your stay in your apartment in Manhattan.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks for calling. Yeah. Yeah. The one argument
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: people said, well, I can't. I can't take the snow anymore.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I can't take the winter. And hey, we did have
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: a bad winter this year with a couple of really
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: heavy blizzards. But how much was that? It was like
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: two weeks here, three weeks there. There's like a total
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: of six weeks of snow on the ground. Okay, it
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: was cold, but I'll take that over six months of
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: one hundred degree heat in the summer and hurricanes and
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: having to evacuate every two seconds. Uh, just stay in
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: New York much better. Let's go to Joe in Elmwood Park. Joe,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: We had the same thing in Patterson, New Jersey, that
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: we called the public housing.
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: They destroyed them.
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: They took the copper out, they destroyed the building so
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: bad they couldn't.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Even fix them.
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: They had to demolish them. Yeah, so that's so much
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: for your public housing.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: That's what happens, all right, thanks for calling, Oh, I forgot.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I was going to tell you the sinkhole on the lie.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: People really concerned about this in the middle of the
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Long Island Expressway out in Suffolk County. I think at
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the Huntington exit, what's that forty nine Route one ten
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: somewhere around there. Sinkhole. Now, usually that's a tremendous amount
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: of groundwater. The water underneath erodes the bedrock and the soil,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: It creates a big cavity and then the ground sinks
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: into it. So it's usually natural groundwater. That's why it happens,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: like in Florida places like that. But so it was.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: The thought was last week, as we told you, there
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: are pipes under there, infrastructure water pipes, and they thought
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: that one of them was so old and maybe the
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: joint broke or it leaked and put all that water
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: and that's why the sinkhole. Now that's pretty scary because
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: you got these pipes all under the lie. Well, there
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: might be another explanation. This might make you feel better.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: There was a contractor doing work on the side along
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the service road there and they were trying to drill
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: under the all to put something through like a like
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: a pipe all the way underneath, and they think that
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: something went wrong with whatever they were doing, and that
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: might have caused the water, which would be a good
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: thing because that means it's just that one particular thing,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: it wasn't the infrastructure rotting. Let's go to Jane in
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Long Island. Jane, how you doing?
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: Mark themone?
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: How are you?
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: Longtime listener?
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Well? Thanks?
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: How's everybody? It's really nice to hear your boys, Long Island.
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: In Long Island, we're in plain View, Hicksville area.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: I love Plaine View. You don't hear people say that
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: a lot, but I like Plane View. You got the
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: La Piazza there, you got cravings that great?
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: The supermarket that's right, that's right. You do know, you
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: do know your Oh you.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Got the new ivor Owne pizza.
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: There we got ivor Owne. Actually not too far away
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: up on Hempsheid Turnpike. We're getting an Uncle Giuseppe over
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: in Best Page.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Uncle Giuseppes is the greatest supermarkets, like the Italian Wegman's.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: They're all over there Long Island. The best one is
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: in Meltony.
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: Their food is great.
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: They got the best meat bulls.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: We can't get can't get them open in Manhattan, but
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: they should. But go ahead.
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: Not on politics, just wanted to know how's our buddy,
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: Joe Bartlett doing.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Bart's very happy. He's in Hilton Head, plays golf every day.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I don't understand these guys that can play golf every day.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I guess I used to a million years ago. I
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: can't do it anymore every day, but they love it. No,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: he's very very happy. We'll have to get him on
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: one day and check in with him. He's on the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: morning show now and then checking in. But thanks for calling.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark, Good morning. No matter where public housing
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: are tried, they always get bad news. Even in Italy,
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: public housing are terrible. They're all slums and ghettos.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: Mark.
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: You pointed out one of the reasons why public housing
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: is bad news when you said Mondami's going to open
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: up these supermarkets and he's going to make them cheaper,
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: so he says by not being charged property taxes and
• 21:23
  Speaker 9: water and sewer use. Well, that's the reason why people
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: should be against any more public housing projects. Being built
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: because when the city comes in and on the eminent
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: domain and right away ubscons a bunch of private property
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: that was contributing to the tax base, that was paying
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: water and sewer taxes. Since the city doesn't pay water
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: and sewer taxes. Now that financial load that those private
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: owners were paying has to now be attributed to the
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: rest of the citizenry in that area, because the city,
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: as you pointed out, does not pay property or water
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: or seward taxes. And I learned that forty years ago
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: where the city absconded a bunch of single family homes
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: in Coney Allen and built those high rise projects over there,
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: which all of them a crime infested. And my brother
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: had a friend who owned one of the houses that
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: under eminent domain they took away. And I said, well,
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: why is anybody against us? He says why. He says,
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: they're not giving you mock of value for your property,
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: and plus the financial burden.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: It's a mess. We got to go do the news,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: but great point. Thanks for calling. Hey. When we come back,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman the next governor of New York. He'll be
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: with us next on seven to ten.
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: W R.
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: WOMR.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Well Bruce Blakeman. Of course, he's the county executive of
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Nasau County. That's like being a governor, and it's the
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: best run county in America. You can look at all
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: the numbers, so nobody would be a better governor for
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: New York than Bruce Blakeman. Now you can help out,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: you can donate, you can volunteer. Just go to blakemanfro
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: New York dot com Blakeman for New York dot Com.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Also make sure you're following on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, all
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: that great social media. And he's with us now. Bruce Blakeman,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: I'm doing great, Mark. It's always the pleasure to be
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: with you.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You Hey, you spoke with the President on Friday,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: right at the same event.
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the President was great. He was just so wonderful.
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: There was the family of that young west Chester girl, Sheridan,
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: who was murdered by a legal migrant in Chicago. He
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: was just wonderful to the family. Then he met the
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: mom of a young man who's saved many lives on
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: nine to eleven. And of course Mike Wawler, a great
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: member of Congress. All together to talk about American values,
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: and I was fortunate enough to be able to speak
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: there twice. He called me up on stage, he gave
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: me a lot of shout outs, and I consider him
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: a good friend, but more importantly, he's a great president.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, the Kathy Hockle, You've got to beat her
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: in November. I think you will. And as far as
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: the money, she's got thirty two million in her war chest. Now,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: they tried to block you, and they pulled all kinds
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: of funny business to deny you campaign financing. Has that
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: been fixed?
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we won that case, but Kathy Hochel is using
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: taxpayer money to appeal that when on all four corners
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: of the law we were solid. And it's more dirty
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: tricks from Kathy ho She scared to death of me,
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: and basically she knows that people are miserable in New York.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: We're over tax our utility rates or seventy percent higher
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: than the national average. So I'm going to cut them
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: in half when I become governor. We're going to lower taxes.
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: We're going to create jobs and make for safe for communities.
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: And yesterday we filed sixty six thousand signatures on a
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: petition to put me on an independent line called Vote Affordable,
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: and we needed only forty five thousand. We were able
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: to get sixty six thousand people, and that was just
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: a tremendous effort. So not only will I be running
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: as a Republican and the Conservative, but also on the
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: Vote Affordable line. So that's a big boost to the
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: campaign and we feel very confident. I do expect to
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: be governor on January first, of twenty twenty seven.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: No, it would save New York. I've heard her mention
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: you a few times now. You never do that if
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: you're well ahead and you're totally confident. You only mentioned
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: the opponent when you're really getting scared. So it looks
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: like you're making a lot of progress, right.
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you she spent a million dollars on
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: attack ads on me last month. You don't spend a
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: million dollars on attack ads on a Republican in New
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: York State when you're the incumbent governor unless you're in deep,
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: and she's in deep. She knows the race is neck
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: and neck, and that you know you can't run away
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: from your record number forty one out of fifty states
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: in economic development, The once Great Empire state. That's just
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: a national embarrassment.
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: So when you ran for NASA count executive, Laura Kern
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: was way ahead, and she wasn't bad. She wasn't terrible.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: She was I mean, you're much better, but she was okay,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: and you beat her. You came out and just took
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: off and crushed her.
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, she was very popular. She was an incumbent.
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: She was a Democrat in the county with one hundred
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: and ten thousand more Democrats than Republicans and were able
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: to win that race. She was very well liked. I
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: liked Laura Kurrn. I just didn't agree with her policies.
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: So I ran an issue oriented campaign, talked about issues,
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: and the people agreed with me. And then we've had
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: four years of nothing but success. Named the safest county
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: in America by US News, and we'rele report seven bond upgrades,
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: four budget surpluses, and I haven't raised taxes one penny
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: mark in four years. As a matter of fact, I
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: cut Laura Curn's one hundred and fifty million dollar tax
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: increase completely out of the budget.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a remarkable job. In Esso, kunt Of, you'd be
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the best choice for governor for New York. Everybody go
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: to blakemanfronew York dot com. You can donate there or
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: volunteer whatever you want to do. Blakemanfronewyork dot com. Hey,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: in the old days when you ran, you know, you'd
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: film these, you know, very you know, typical TV commercials.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Talk about it. Now it's different. You got to be
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: on social media. It's AI videos and that kind of stuff.
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: Right. Oh, yeah, we're doing AI AI. We have social influencers.
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: We've got a tremendous amount of presence on social media.
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: We've gotten twelve million views just last month in our
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: social media twelve million dwarfs anything that Kathy Hoko has done.
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: So we are very active. We understand that that's a
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: new form of communication that's very important. So not only
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: are we doing direct mail and print media and radio
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: and TV ads, but we're doing a lot of social
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: media and a lot of streaming. So we're going to
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: run a very robust campaign until victory.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, talk about you talk about taxes, but talk about electricity.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think people realize in New York how much
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: more they're paying for electricity. What can we do about that?
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: Well, mark, it's seventy percent higher than national average. That's
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: because if you look at your electric bill, only thirty
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: percent of your paintment goes for energy. And she just
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: raised the cost of utilities again by agreeing to another
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: increase on the delivery cost. Our delivery costs are excessive.
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: She taxes your utility bill and you pay when you
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: pay your bill. For the green energy scam, where she
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: puts a fund together of billions of dollars basically to
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: invest in science projects, costs billions of dollars, produces very
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: little energy, And we are sitting on one of the
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: Latin largest natural gas reserves in the world and she
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: won't let us drill. We're right on the other side
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: of the border in Pennsylvania they can drill, and we're
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: buying our gas from Pennsylvania.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: It's insane.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: So what would it take to get fracking going here
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: in New York legislature? What would it take?
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: No, I believe that as governor I have the right
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: to to start that program and license them to start
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: fracking there. Let's get as much natural gas as possible.
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: We've got plenty of it, and that'll increase the supply.
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: And when you increase the supply, it brings down the cost,
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: and that's what we want to do. Kathy Hockel has
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: done nothing to make it more affordable in New York.
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: In fact, she's made it unaffordable over the last four years.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: I'm going to be a governor that creates jobs, prosperity,
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: brings taxes down, country utility rates, and makes for not
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: only an affordable state, but a safe state and a
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: state where there's jobs, good jobs with good benefits. Kathy
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: Hochel is the most anti union governor we've ever had.
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: I mean, everything that American workers stand for, Kathy Hochel
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: is against. And that's why so many unions who traditionally
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: don't support Republicans are supporting me.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Now, Bruce Blakeman as governor, what can you do about
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: mom Donnie? As far as keeping him in line, keeping
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: him from pulling any of his crazy schemes.
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: I have the power over the purse, so I will
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: use that. In addition, I can take over any city
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: agencies that aren't performing, and as a drastic matter, it
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: would be a last resort because he is a duly
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: elected official, and I don't think that should be upset
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: by removing him from office unless he's engaged in egregious
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: unlawful conduct. But if he does engage in egregious unlawful conduct,
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: I will remove him as mayor. So hopefully he'll behave himself.
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: Kathy Hokeel, he will not behave himself. Comrade Kathy is
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: right with Mandamida Kami in destroying the economy of New
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: York uh, increasing anti Semitism in our city and an
• 31:47

  Speaker 2: Joe Biden suing the Trump administration. Remember when he was writing,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: he was writing a book, He wrote an autobiography, and
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: he had a ghostwriter. So the ghostwriter what they do
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: is they interview you, they record it, They interview you
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: for like a thousand hours and talk to you. Then
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: later Remember there was a special counsel investigating Joe Biden
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: and apparently he got the special counselor decided not to
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: prosecute Biden. Not that he wasn't guilty of stuff, They
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: just said his memory's gone. He's an old guy. He's
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: not even capable of testifying. But somewhere that Special Council
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: got a hold of the audio of the ghostwriter interviewing Biden,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: which means it's now in the hands of the Justice Department.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: The Trump Justice Department wants to release the audio. Joe
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Biden is now suing the Department of Justice to block
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: the release of that audio. Apparently it's very embarrassing. Apparently
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: he's totally out of it. He's just completely his brain
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: is all fried and you can hear it on the audio.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: So he's suing trying to block the release of that.
• 34:12
