Hour 2: Is Socialism going downhill? · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

  Speaker 1: Well, it was one of his key campaign promises, Zor
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and Mam Donnie said there would be government run grocery
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: stores that would sell at a lower price. And he's
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: coming through with that promise. The first one, as you know,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: as he announced several weeks back, will be in East
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Harlem in the space known as Law Marquita. But now
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the announcement this week is there's going to be everyone
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in all five boroughs. It all sounds great, doesn't it.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Everything is going to be thirty percent less. Well, it's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: not great for the badegas that are going to be
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: in the area because they're going to be undercut in prices,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and now they are getting together to sue, claiming the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: seventy million dollar project will create unfair competition for nearby stores.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Let's start with.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie and then we'll get because you know, Curtis
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: has a long history with this. We can talk to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: him about it. As a matter of fact, he ran
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: against Ara Mam Donni and heard him talk about this
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: time and time again.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: But let's talk. Let's start with the announcement.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Here's how it will work.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Once a month, our five city rung grocery stores will
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: set prices for this core set of goods at thirty
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: percent below typical retail prices, no exceptions, no gimmicks. The
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: savings will last for the entire month. That means no
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: weekly fluctuations nor sticker shock at the checkout line, and is.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: In his announcement earlier this week on Monday, he also
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: talked about the possible competition.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: We know that a lot of what drives revenue for
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: these bodegas grocery stores, those are things that make it
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: possible for them to continue to operate. Those are not
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: things we have any interest in competing for.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So he's taken a few things, like you know, alcoholic
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: beverages and cigarettes off of it, and so he's he's
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: throwing a bone to the bordega owners.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: But it's the prices. It's the prices that are upset about.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Once a month, our five city Rung grocery stores will
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: set prices for this core set of goods at thirty
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: percent below typical retail prices, no exceptions, no gimmicks. The
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: savings will last for the entire month. That means no
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: weekly fluctuations nor sticker shock at the checkout line.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Now, like every socialist program, it all sounds good in theory.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: It's always going to get you votes. But Curtis, there
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: are many pitfalls that you've been laying out brilliantly over
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: And also, I was a key man at the Great
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Atlantic and Pacific tea company, biggest store that AMP had
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: in the Five boroughs. You know, eventually they went chapter eleven.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: So I know about ordering. I know about the small
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: margins you have. It's like a penny nickel business on
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: most things. You really make it on the meat, the fish.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: The other things you lose money on. So notice he
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: says thirty percent. Now why does he say a thirty
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: percent cut? This is part of a national campaign because
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: food prices are up thirty three percent across the country,
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: the highest grocery I spike in fifty years. So he's
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: trying to take advantage of that. See, we're providing you
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: for those things that you need desperately, you know, the vegetables,
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: the greens, the meat.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: The fish. We're bringing those prices down.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Now, obviously it's going to be subsidized by us, the
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: sucker taxpayers, but it's a very innovative way that he's
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: done this. He's not choosing like a just low income area.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: He's choosing areas where it's pouring, impoverished. The first one
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: will be Hunt's Point, which is right near where Spotford
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: used to be. This was the juvenile detention facility, high
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: crime area, maybe five bull diggers in the area. No supermarkets,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: and I mean it's shoplifters heaven.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: So he is not running it. The city's not running it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: What he's doing is he's looking for grocers or firms
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: to operate them, and then he's gonna subcontract it out
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: to them. So he's wise enough to realize, we don't
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: know this business. You know, we're gonna we're gonna get killed.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: But if you already run a supermarket, and we'll see
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: who ap peels themselves off from the many supermarket owners
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: or bodega owners, we'll subcontract it to you to run it,
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: and the city supermarket will now have a private grocery
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: store operator. So that's one unique facet. The other thing,
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: and this is where he's gonna lose all of his money.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Security operators will be responsible for managing crime and loss prevention.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: So when you're in a supermarket or even the bodega
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: business or grocery slow business. It's not just the shoplifters
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: who come in like a locusts, you know, through the cornfield,
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: but in house you lose money. Your employees steal from you,
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: not just out of the casher yourself, but they stuffed
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: products down there, bvds and their fruit of the loom,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: you know, from the meat section, the fish section. He's
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: gonna get killed there because once it opens up, people
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: are going to say, oh, that's the Zoran store. He's
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: not going to arrest us. He knows we're poor and impoverished.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: So how does he all of a sudden now enforce
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: security in the store when he's leaving it to private
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: security firms and he knows the police are not going
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: to respond because they know it's a waste of time
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: the way it is now with no cash bail and
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: the way das don't prosecute these crimes.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So answer your own question. If he's hiring private security.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And many times when somebody's stealing from the store, they
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: just let them go. They because they know nothing's going
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to happen to them. What are they going to do
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: different or are they going to do anything different? And
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: if not, there's going to be a huge loss.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Well, see, he lived in as Storia, you know, after
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: he came over here, he went to private high school.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: He went to Aboden College up in Maine. He's never
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: really lived in an urban area with a high crime.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: So he's thinking, you know, this is going to be
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: like Traded Joe's and as Storial Whole Foods in his story.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Now the benefit for the local residents. They're gonna finally
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: get fresh vegetables, fresh foods because man, you gotta walk
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: a few miles. They don't have farmers' markers there. They
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: don't have co ops. You know, co ops generally in
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: a neighborhood. Uh, well, you have a lot of professionals
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: and you know they'll pool their resources. You couldn't, you
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: couldn't run an operation like that. So it's a nice
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: idea to bring good food to the marketplace. But man,
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know how he can do it. And as
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: he said, he says, there's a caveat to you bodega owners.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: You sell the lottery tickets.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: We had just discussed that, as you pointed out the cigarettes,
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: the alcohol and the hot food, because you know, you
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: go to these places they have the deli section you
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: know with the hot food that we're not going to
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: be selling hot food, but you're.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Still you know, they live on such a margin. Their
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: profit is so slim. You take away anything from them,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: they're going to suffer. So I understand their lawsuit, But
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: bigger than that, we're all going to suffer because the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: whole scenario you just pointed out is these places are
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: going to lose money. They have to lose money. So
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: as we're hiring people not only to do the security,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a security firm and someone to manage the whole thing
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and run the whole thing and give them money, they're
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: not gonna make their nutt They're not going to have
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a profit. The only profit they're going to get is
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: promise from the city, which means we all have to
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: suck this up. So this is socialism the way it works.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: We all pay so that other people can afford groceries,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: even though we have to pay the same amount. Now
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: we're going to be paying so that other people can
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: have that. Well, you know, socialism.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Now you had a store, your prices can ever be
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: locked in because all of a sudden, let's say there's
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: a shortage of cattle down in Texas and Oklahoma price
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: to beef skyrockets.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: He said, no, we're going to keep the prices at
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: that level.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Well, as you pointed out, the price goes up at
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: the wholesale level, you still got to pay that if
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: you're a city supermarket. So who pays the differential? You
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: and me the taxpayer, We subsidize it. I would have
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: done this I if I were him, because he is
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: a democratic socialist. He believes in these co ops that
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: do Existion, like places like Park Slope. They voted for him,
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Clinton Hill, the Lower East Side.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Open up a co op.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: See if you can get the local residents to pool
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: their resources, then they determine what products are going to
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: be there. They also work it. You know, it's like
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: a kibbutz in Israel where everybody does the labor. I
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: would have tried that first, But.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: That ship is sailed. That ship is sailed. They're gonna
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: be government run. These are government run, regardless of if
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: there is a middle man, it's still government run, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that means it's going to be run. All the losses
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: will be paid by us. Oh, this is what people
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: voted for. He told you what he was going to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: do before he did it. You liked the idea of
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: free prices. You know what, here's the big, dirty little secret.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Nothing is free, So don't fall for this in the future.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Every time I'm a democratic socialist tells you something it's
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: gonna be free, you're gonna pay for it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: The other thing is, don't think you're gonna buy brand labels.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Just like we talked a while back about Pathmark, the
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: successive Pathmark was the white label Aisle, which is the
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: label no label brands, you know, where basically you're buying
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: products that just say green beans.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Carriage, no frills, right, no del Mont Is that definite? Yes,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: that's the uh uh.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: The private label brands, you know, they you pay less,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: but a lot of times the factory that makes it,
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: it's the same product, they just label it differently. So
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: he's gonna try the old Pathmark way. But anyway you
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: look at it, the margin is so slim, we're gonna
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: have to subsidize.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, And the bodega guys.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Uh, they got to understand that they've been the only
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: means that people have relied on for a long time,
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: and they don't really sell fresh foods and fresh vegetables. Boy,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: if you ever go into some of those vegas. You
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: look at the expiration date on some of those cans.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: He said, you know we're in the new century now,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: nineteen ninety eight, why is it still on the shelf?
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: H Oh, sorry, amigo. Sorry, So it'll be interesting. He's
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: starting in Hunt's point, where I would say, if you
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: were going to open up a city supermarket, it's desperately
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: needed there. And then as you pointed out, Ali Marquette
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: in East Harlem or they used to call Spanish Harlem
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: at Soul City property, so you don't have to pay rent,
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: it's going to cost us initially, and you know the
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: price is always going to go up. Seventy million dollars
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: he claims, we'll have five by the time he's running
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: for re election. Uh. And he's going to take a
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: victory lap on this because he's going to say, well,
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: prices are up across the United States, you know, over
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: thirty percent, and we're trying to help the average poor,
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: impoverished person.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, well, they're not going to be selling
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: wine at these new government run stores, and any they
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: are selling wine, they're having a problem because people not
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: buying it anymore. So who is drinking? Plus a chance
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to see deep purple in Kansas at a twenty five.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Eating is one of those basic things we do, but
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: behind every meal, your body is carrying out thousands of
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: invisible calculations. Usually you never think about it until something
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: goes wrong. Check out the podcast All about It search
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: for Eating interrupted on the free iHeartRadio app Steps Curtis.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Do you drink wine?
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I used to?
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: Unfortunately once I ended up with Kaleidas Hillie Eidish and
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: then Crohn's disease. I had a half a glass of
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: red wine at a philanthropic event and I ended up
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: on the floor.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Oh jeez, but I enjoyed.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Remember I grew up on the Italian side of the
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: sure sure glass of wine with dinner with my grandfather.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: That'll be on Gido from the big Ernest and jewel.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: You'll the big like a four gallon bottle.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: How young were you when they allowed you to drink wine?
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Little ship at twelve?
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: There you go, Natalie, You're a wine drinker. I do
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: enjoy a glass of wine.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say a lot, but yeah, do you How
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: many times a week do you have a glass of one?
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I would say maybe once a month? Really, yeah, okay
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: that I'm the whino.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It's officially me because I probably have a glass, at
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: least one glass every day.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: That's my husband, a little glass of red wine every day.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: Well, Italians believe that will extend your life. My grandfather,
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Fideli Bioncino, lived to ninety nine.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm German Irish, so it doesn't apply to me
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: at all. I just drink it because I like it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I love pino noir. And you know a lot of
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: people out there, and leave me a talk back if
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: if you were you were the same type of person.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I started drinking pino noir, and so did Tom Cuddy's wife,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: by the way, our program director's wife, because of the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: movie Side.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Ah, great movie.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Have you remember that little.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Soliloquy where they talk about comparing love to pino noir
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and how good and delicate pino noir is. I tried
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: it afterwards and I was hooked. But now, apparently because
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of movies like Sideways, because wine became so popular, the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: whole market has been oversaturated.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: For a while.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: There everybody was opening in a winery. Remember that, everybody,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: every celebrity, every actor, you know, every director was opening
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a winery. Now there's they can't make money even with
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the demand for wine. The demand for wine's going down
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit. You know why it's going down. Golp
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: one drugs.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: Twelve percent of the market's going away because it it
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: so the weight loss drugs. Yeah, what's the effect if
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: you have a glass of wine? One glass of wine
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: you can do. If you have a little bit more
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: than that, you'll start to get a pain in your belly.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Ah.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: That's why.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: By the way, this thing's a miracle drug. It's fighting alcoholism.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: So anyway, some of the some of the wineries in
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: some of the the people that produce the grapes, they
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: have decided these vineyards have decided they're going to make
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: a goavee. Now the govey is used in Tequil a
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: skall and so they now have done a big switch
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: because of the consumption of wine is not down, but
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: it's just been oversaturated.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Larry, I want you to come back to your use
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: when I could drink wine, and you, Natalie too. You
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: probably shample these products from time to time. Very affordable,
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: won't hurt your wallet or your pocketbook. Wild Irish rose, spoons,
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: farm apple wine, ripple, thunderbird come on, come back with
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: the twist, stop on top. That's how you knew it
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: was a real cheap wine.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: And you realize I never drank any of the wines
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you just mentioned, you kidd, ever ever drank any of them?
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: What could you know why I was a smart kid?
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Ninety nine cents Ernest and Julie og chemical wine.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: You just told me the reason why you shouldn't be
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: drinking that wine. There you go. Now, let's get let's
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: get to the talkbacks. I will as soon as we
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: get to the talk back page.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: There we go. You got Willie Nelson stay in his lane.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: You know what else uses a lot of electricity and
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: water weed bars that he supports one hundred and ten
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: percent use. They pollute everything with the chemicals they put
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: in for the fertilizer. Go away, Willy.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Oh wait, so he's talking about I think hydroponics, because
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: you know Willie, who's come out and has joined me
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: and you in saying slow down these data filing centers
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: out there, these a I doubt the filing centers because
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: he ruins neighborhoods. Willie Nelson, you know he's a pothead.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: He loves pot Uh. So if you grow it hydroponically.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: What he's talking about is you know, you have chemicals,
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: you have other things, so you know it poisons the environment.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: I get it, and use a lot of electricity like
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: you want to. Like it's my son growing homegrown in
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: the basement. Look at this electricity bill?
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: What that?
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Why are those heating lamps on twenty four to seven
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: three sixty five.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I understand what he's saying.
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: Wake up, guys. They don't need private security to stop
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: people from stealing.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: That's gonna happen anyway.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: The people that are gonna steal are these subcontractors, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: they're gonna steal take a tune of millions of dollars.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you'll hear it in a year, two years, whatever,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that all this money going.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: To these subcontractors was being ripped off. It's a guarantee.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: You are absolutely correct that everybody should be taking notes
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and following and making sure there's some accounting for how
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: much these places are losing.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: And and it's the interest of all of us because
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: we're gonna be paying for it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: It's called lost prevention.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been the house step, white collar or blue
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: cottar and it's gonna be causing more loss.
• 16:57

  Speaker 10: I didn't know all the other verses, go away, come
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: back and never day, and then I would just sing
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: that over and over and over again.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was it. That's right, and that's one.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: It was right.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: We couldn't go out to play, we would sing that
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: nursery rhyme. Real, Harry, you did, you had stunted growth.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: I didn't sing a nursery rhyme when I couldn't go
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: out to play.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: That doesn't make you. I think that makes me know.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I play with blocks, I do a million other things.

  Speaker 1: I want to talk to him a little bit more
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: about these government run grocery stores that mom Donnie is doing,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: because I think he's going to agree. Everything is happening
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: exactly while how we predicted it would happen, and it's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: all bad. That is coming up next, And you've heard
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: me say this a couple of times now, but this
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: is so important. It is important to realize how fast
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: an everyday situation like having a snack, eating down and
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: sitting dinner, eating dinner can turn into an emergency. I've
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: reported the news for years and years and years decades,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and I've watched this happen over and over again. Everything
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: is going fine, then it goes bad. Choking is one
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: of those moments, and it can happen to anyone. It

  Speaker 1: a grandparent, and when it does, there's panic and seconds matter.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: That's why I want to tell you about life BAC.

  Speaker 1: LIFEFAC is the first and only FDA authorized suction anti
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: choking device to be used for second line treatment when recommended.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Choking protocols like hitting somebody in the back trying to
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: pull something out of their throat the Heimlich have been
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: followed without success. And here's what's remarkable. Life BAC has
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: helped save over six thousand lives worldwide. Imagine if it
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't there, Because that's not just a number, that's real people.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: We're talking about real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters.
• 20:48

• 21:21
  Speaker 5: the signal and it's affected by the inclement weather, the
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: storms that are coming.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: You didn't know that, did you, Larry, No, I didn't
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I thought it. I thought it was Crash. No, a dischronificator.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Whatever the dischronificator is.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: How long you've been in the business.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: Years.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: You ever hear of the disquantificator. No, but but you
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: know Curtis has taught me a lot in the past
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: few that's right.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Did you grow up eating popular mechanics?
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: What they talked about to dischronificator affecting the Marconi radio signals,
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: not the tests.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: All right, let's bring in Rob Astorino, host of the
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Rob Storno Show on w r Saturday is four to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: five pm. Also hosts of Saturday Agenda from one to
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: three on Newsmax, and of course he is the former
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Westchester County executive.
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: Rob.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: We were talking a moment ago about.
• 22:15
  Speaker 13: Wait, wait, wait, wait, I just gotta I gotta, I
• 22:17
  Speaker 13: gotta toggle myerator might.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Not alator, it's gonna be make up word day.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: No, No, there is the nodulator. Come on, I know
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: you are radio people, Rob, those I know get with it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: This is the business we have chosen. Oh, just the
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: fact that he backed you up, I know it's not true.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: All right, Let's talk about the grocery stores, because as expected,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: he's going to go ahead and force these through, even
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: though it seems like it's going to cost everybody except
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: for sometimes the people to jump there a whole lot
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: of money.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out what the loss is going
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: to be on these places.
• 23:07
  Speaker 13: Don't try to figure it out because it's too high.
• 23:10
  Speaker 13: Kansas City tried this and all of a sudden they realize, well,
• 23:13
  Speaker 13: that ain't working out.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: That's no good.
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: It's the same thing with universal health care. Bernie Sanders
• 23:19
  Speaker 13: Vermont tried it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, they did the studies.
• 23:22
  Speaker 13: Bernie Sanders Vermont did the studies of universal health care
• 23:26
  Speaker 13: just for their state, and they quickly decided, even those
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: liberals in Vermont quickly decided, there's no way we can
• 23:34
  Speaker 13: do this. There was a study done for universal health
• 23:37
  Speaker 13: care for the United States. It would be forty two
• 23:40
  Speaker 13: trillion dollars forty two trillion dollars and a system that
• 23:45
  Speaker 13: would be horrendous and would collapse. So this is just
• 23:48
  Speaker 13: in line with everything that the far left, the Marxist
• 23:51
  Speaker 13: communists try to do, which has been done in the past.
• 23:54
  Speaker 13: If it were never done, you could say, all right, look,
• 23:57
  Speaker 13: let's give it a shot and see how it works.
• 24:01
  Speaker 13: It's been done so many times and it gets an
• 24:04
  Speaker 13: f every time. And yet here he goes, because well,
• 24:08
  Speaker 13: what's your tax dollars, my tax dollars.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: It means nothing anyway.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Let's just do it, okay, rob Etscherina.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: We're a little more than three months out from the
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: glubminatorial race and all the congressional races. But let's look
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: at Bruce Blakeman versus Kathy Hokeel. She looked and imposed
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: a moratorium on aidtifiling centers for a year in New
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: York State from Buffalo to Brooklyn, and immediately Blakeman followed
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: the paths of Donald Trump, who was promoting them, and said, no, no,
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: I'm all for them as a campaign issue because it
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: does bring these situations to local communities. Is this a
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: plus for Bruce or a minus?
• 24:54
  Speaker 13: You know, I think there are some areas where, especially
• 24:57
  Speaker 13: in the some of the rural areas, and it's becoming
• 25:00
  Speaker 13: an issue for Republicans around the country, even in Texas
• 25:05
  Speaker 13: where they got plenty of energy from all sources. Greg
• 25:08
  Speaker 13: Abbott kind of backtracked a little bit and said, you know,
• 25:13
  Speaker 13: we better hold on a second, hold on a second
• 25:15
  Speaker 13: when they were full steam ahead, because it's created a
• 25:17
  Speaker 13: political issue in areas they never thought so. I mean,
• 25:21
  Speaker 13: the easiest thing for him to do would have said,
• 25:23
  Speaker 13: you know what, look, I'm okay with a one year moratorium,
• 25:27
  Speaker 13: whether he is or isen, let's just figure out the
• 25:30
  Speaker 13: rules going forward so we do it right. But let's
• 25:33
  Speaker 13: not abolish it because that would put us behind the
• 25:36
  Speaker 13: eight ball with other states. I mean, something like that
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: you can get away with because you know, the campaign
• 25:42
  Speaker 13: is only a couple more months, So if you want
• 25:45
  Speaker 13: to do that politically in this kind of state, you
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: can get away with that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I would think, you know, as much as we slams
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: are a mom Donnie on the show here and a
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: lot of people do across the country, especially in Republican circles,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: we really actually should thank him because he's the one
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: that brought democratic socialism to the forefront and that has
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: become it sounds like the top Republican issue, and if
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: you listen to some of the top Democrats are saying,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: we got to fix this because the polls are showing
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: like for the House races it might actually be a
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: toss up now some even have Republicans picking up a seat.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: And it has to be about that because every single
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: candidate keeps talking about the threat of socialism or sometimes
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: they say communism.
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and I would say communism, but the you know,
• 26:36
  Speaker 13: it's really sharp divide. The younger voters don't care.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: They love it.
• 26:40
  Speaker 13: Actually, Democrats are now drifting towards at least a vision
• 26:46
  Speaker 13: of socialism. They may not know how far it goes
• 26:49
  Speaker 13: what it leads to, but the idea of socialism they like,
• 26:54
  Speaker 13: They kind of like. Actually, but it's you know, it's
• 26:57
  Speaker 13: a lot of these other people and honestly too, a
• 27:00
  Speaker 13: lot of these illegal aliens. Well, actually, let's I'm not
• 27:03
  Speaker 13: talking about the voters that are the illegal aliens in
• 27:05
  Speaker 13: New Jersey. The immigrants who actually came legally and have
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: you know, been voting. Now, there's an interesting thing within
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: that category because a lot of them who fled these
• 27:16
  Speaker 13: countries now they're like, whoa wait a minute, Okay, I
• 27:20
  Speaker 13: don't really like where Republicans are going, but and the
• 27:23
  Speaker 13: economy is not that great, but this socialism, communism stuff
• 27:27
  Speaker 13: that I live through, there's no way in hell I
• 27:29
  Speaker 13: want to go through that again, you know.
• 27:31
  Speaker 14: And I think that's a that's.
• 27:32
  Speaker 13: Another sleeper issue in this and that's another reason why
• 27:35
  Speaker 13: Republicans are bringing it up. And it's it was funny
• 27:39
  Speaker 13: yesterday I was doing a kind of a big project
• 27:42
  Speaker 13: for Newsmacs. It was kind of going through the entire
• 27:44
  Speaker 13: country of all the races, how Senate governor races, and
• 27:49
  Speaker 13: when you look at the House races, I mean, there
• 27:52
  Speaker 13: aren't a lot that are that are in play.
• 27:55
  Speaker 15: There just are not.
• 27:56
  Speaker 13: And so these issues that are going to divo gude
• 28:01
  Speaker 13: An electorate and actually gets some to come are our way,
• 28:05
  Speaker 13: the Republicans way, when in this year they may not.
• 28:09
  Speaker 13: The communism, socialism, crazy left issue is a powerful issue
• 28:13
  Speaker 13: right now.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're exactly right, and it's fascinating that it may
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: decide the election if the Democrats don't do something, because
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the poll show independents hated and Republicans hate it. It's
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: just the Democrats that seem to love it.
• 28:26
  Speaker 13: Tuesday night in Michigan, you know that that primary for
• 28:30
  Speaker 13: Senate is going to be a huge, huge decider of
• 28:34
  Speaker 13: how the how these campaigns are on the country are
• 28:37
  Speaker 13: going to go. If el Sayid wins far left, crazy guy,
• 28:40
  Speaker 13: and he's winning in the polls right now, if he
• 28:43
  Speaker 13: beats a sitting congresswoman for that Senate seat, that's a
• 28:46
  Speaker 13: seat the Republicans probably will pick up and that'll save
• 28:49
  Speaker 13: the Senate.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Absolutely going to become another issue race.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 28:53

• 31:00

• 31:04
  Speaker 1: across the aisle like we don't have anymore. He was
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the old school. He was able to work with the
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: other side. He didn't always villainize the other side. He
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: never crossed the line, and they all remembered him for that.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: People came from all over the world, all over the world, world.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Leaders that he met with many times over the last
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: thirty years, and Donald Trump gave a wonderful, wonderful eulogy.
• 31:32
  Speaker 12: For more than thirty years, nothing of consequence happened in
• 31:36
  Speaker 12: his capital without Lindsey Graham knowing about it, Nothing of
• 31:41
  Speaker 12: significance happened anywhere in the world without Lindsey.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Graham having a view on it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 12: And no bill became law in the most exceptional republican
• 31:51
  Speaker 12: human history without Lindsey Graham having essay in it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Now, remember he died right after flight back from Ukraine,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: and there he was talking about a peace deal, and
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: he was talking about giving the missiles to and the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: ability to build missiles to the Ukrainians. He also was
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: talking about sanctions for the Russians. And so when he
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: got back he called President Trump from there to say, Hey,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: this is the deal.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Would you be okay with it?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: He said yes, And he was supposed to have a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: meeting later that day after he got back, but he
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: then tragically died before he could have that meeting. But
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: in honor of him, the Senate, you know, it's just
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: one step on many, but it looks like it's so
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: bipartisan is going to pass passed a sanctions deal against Russia.
• 32:44
  Speaker 16: It's an overwhelming show of support from senators representing east
• 32:50
  Speaker 16: and West and north and south across this great country,
• 32:54
  Speaker 16: Democrat and Republican.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: That is Senator Wicker saying that in Zelensky was in
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: town and he talked about the sanctions and saying that
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: it may help end this war.
• 33:07
  Speaker 15: It's very important sanctions pressure on Russia. It is very
• 33:11
  Speaker 15: important and really gives It's not all about the money
• 33:16
  Speaker 15: how Russia how to salk to finance this war. But
• 33:19
  Speaker 15: it's also a big signal to Europe, big signal to Ukraine,
• 33:24
  Speaker 15: big support of all our people.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Right, there's new support for Zelensky, especially because as we know,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump loves winners that he seems to be winning
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: this war.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: I concur with you on everything except Trump got a
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: little carried away and eulogizing Lynchy Graham when he looked
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: at the audience and he said, you know, just two
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: weeks ago he came to me and said we need
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: peace with Iran. And then he could see it with
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: some doubting. Thomas's because it's facing Lyncha Graham was a
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: warhawk on everything.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: No, no, really, really he was. But other than that,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: you're right with Zelenski. It's interesting.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Remember I had talked about the other day how he
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: sent a drone, one of the many drones they make now,
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: long distance drone, and it hit in Iranian cargo container
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: ship in the Caspian Sea that was bringing supplies to
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: Russia and Putin. He wouldn't acknowledge it at first, and
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: yesterday he called up the Iranian ambassador and he said, no,
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: you're right, it was a mistake. This doesn't mean that
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: we're going to war against irant please, please. It was
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: a mistake. So that was important because we didn't need
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: to have a new front. As you know, what was
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: happening is a combined effort of Saudi Arabia and the
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: United States started bombing the Shia militias in Iraq who
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: were responsible for sending drones to attack Saudi Arabia and
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: the United States. Indicates that there was a sneak attack.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: Now I don't know how you can have a sneak
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: attacked during war, but they claimed that Jurann was firing
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: ballistic missiles at US military sites throughout the Gulf region,
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: and they were able to repel them, knock them out
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: of the sky. But we're at war. There's no such
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: thing as a sneak attack. Now we have to see
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: what will the President do. He seems like he wants peace.
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: I think he recognizes he can't keep firing missiles back
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: and forth, back and forth because it hurts him. Prices
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: of gas go up, prices and groceries go up, and
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: it could well impact the Republicans in the midterm election,
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: which is coming up.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: A roppie dough.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Let me just say this, and this surprises me too,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: And it did surprise people. You were right when he
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: said it that were in the crowd, and he had
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: to respond. But apparently he wrote. Lindsey Graham two weeks
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: ago wrote on social media and says he told the president, quote,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: wind down the war and wind up efforts for an
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: historic peace deal.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Like that was true.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Ah, that's not what he was telling bbe Well.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: That's what he told America and what he told the president.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: But BB, he was supporting his effort to ramp up
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: the war, and the president chachdyes, BB. A little bit
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: before he had his meeting where they came out happy.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: He said, I hope you're right about this Pike Mountain
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: and the Iranians having stored nuclear fuel there, because you
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: haven't been right about anything yet. And then apparently they
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: made up and they were hugging one another, and always
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: good with Zelenski and bb There.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Always seems to be a theme to your Trump stories.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: But let's talk more about Netanyahu and Trump coming up
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit later in the show. But the big
• 36:42
