  Speaker 1: delicious bagel burger located right across from Zuccatti Park on

• 0:23
  Speaker 1: l i Q, And I just want to say thank
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you again for their beautiful bagel burger. But let's get
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to brass tax because I don't of you guys have
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: been following this, but it was revealed ahead of the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: budget release by Mayor mum Donnie here a one of
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: got alex Media news. The Bezos family donated one hundred
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: million dollars to help achieve Mayor's or a mum Donnie's,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: one of his top campaign promises. In a rare instance
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of cooperation between one of Wall Street's favorite charities and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a Democratic socialist mayor. Once at an didn't believe billionaires
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: should exist. Well, the Bezos family is helping that mayor. Robinhood,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: one of New York's most charitable donation organizations and one
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of Wall Street's favorites, by the way, announced that it
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: received one hundred million dollar gifts from the Bezos Family,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the parents of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, establishing the Jackie
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Bezos Endowment for Early Childhood, which will prioritize funding for
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: education and early childhood development, including a pledge of an
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: additional twenty five million dollars subject to a match, for
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a total of one hundred and fifty million dollars. And
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: this donation would go to a cause that Mamdani has
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: long advocated for, expanded childhood education. After campaigning on the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: issue throughout the Democratic primary and into the general election
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: this year this past year, the mayor announced last month
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: that two K programming two through free early care and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: education starting at age two would be free and entirely
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: universal year round. And the interesting part of this is, Wow,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a billionaire supporting a socialist mayor, the family of a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: billionaire supporting a socialist mayor. But not so fast. Yesterday
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos said this about New York City's sky high
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: school spending.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: We actually have a spending problem, and that's a skills issue.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, let me give you an example. The New
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: York City school system. Right they've spent forty four thousand
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: dollars per student, forty four thousand. That's thirty percent more
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: per student than other big cities like Chicago, LA and Boston.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And it's three times more than Miami and Houston. And
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: by the way, New York City doesn't get better outcomes.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So what this listen, Let me let me just say,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: if we ran Amazon the way New York City runs
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: their school system, right, your packages would take six weeks
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to arrive, We'd have to charge you one hundred dollars
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: delivery fee, and then when the package did finally arrive,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: it have the wrong item in it anyway.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Right, all right? So this is the same guy whose
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: family donated one hundred million dollars to this mayor, this
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: socialist mayor, who told Ken Griffin get the f out
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of here, make it make sense. One week, the Bezos
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: family loves Mom Donnie. They're helping him contributes, giving him
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars. Now this week, Jeff Bezos is saying, hey,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: this is a poorly run system. Make up your mind,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and yes, I do think Mom Donnie sort of showing
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the door to Ken Griffin and spitting in the face
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of a lot more billionaires is totally totally a reason
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: why Bezos is responding this way. As I've said time
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and time again on the radio, don't we want a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: mayor who's going to make the billionaires and the millionaires
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: want to invest in the city. Don't we want their investments.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Don't we want them to stay and be the uh,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the lifeline. I will tell you small businesses support a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: lot of the economy, a lot of the nine nine
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: percent of those small businesses support the economy. But the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: billionaires are are sort of the engine that runs it, right.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: They backing, they're backing of New York City helps us
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: keep rolling literally because the MTA and that railroad strike
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: is over. But I find it fascinating a week after
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it comes out that Bezos and by the way, Kathy
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Hokel gave us what fort eight billion dollars to make
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that budget work in the city. I mean, it's crazy.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Uh this comes out now, he says, the spending here
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: is ridiculous, and the very school system that Mam Donnie
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: wants to expand to early education. But I'm breaking this
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: news to you at one look up alex Media in
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: case you didn't know that a billionaire's family supported Zoramamdani
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and the efforts to do early childhood education. What do
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you think about that? Alex at alex greyc dot com.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Alex at alexanyc dot com. A billionaire's family and a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: billionaire is supporting the early childhood education system, free education
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: for kids, tow it up. And I think it's interesting
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: because remember if Mom Donnie is Deblasio on steroids, remember
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: what Deblasio did. He basically told Amazon to go f themselves. Also, no,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna build a whole empire in Queens. I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: had my issues with it as well, not so much
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the fact they were gonna put it there, but a heliport. Really,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos, you want that, you want that, but it
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: would have been a boon and it would have created
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: jobs for Queen's residents. But instead Amazon was shoot away
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: by the aocs of the world, by Deblasio. And now
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie who accepts, by the way, a billionaire family's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: donation of one hundred million of one hundred million million
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: dollars or so, but says get the f out at
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the same time to billionaires. And when he speaks to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Ken Griffin like that, I'm sorry talking to every billionaire
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: about that. But hey, you idiots that interrupted the Stock
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Exchange a may day a may Day earlier this month.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Wearing clown knows is because your literal clowns, billionaires help
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: run the city. We lost four hundred and twenty thousand
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: people during the COVID pandemic to moving out, and I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: would think every mayor after Deblasio would work their ass
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: off to get those people back, not keep pushing them away. No,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You're elected to keep the city going, not turn into
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: what you wanted to be. I believe the mayor of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: New York is elected to keep things going, not try
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and reroute it and push people out. That's not the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: job of the city's mayor. It's to keep our a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: million people here safe every damn day. It's to keep
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: our synagogues and places of worship protected from evil. It's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to keep our NYPD cops feeling like they have support,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and on the financial end, it's to make sure those
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: who are investing in the city feel welcome. And even
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: if I sound like I'm trying to run for mayor
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, gosh, twenty thirty or twenty twenty nine,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: maybe because this is what we're seeing from Mom Donnie
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: is not what should be happening for the city. You
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be chasing people out of New York. You shouldn't
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: be basically faking your appreciation for the Jews. That should
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: be genuine. It's not genuine. And you should be condemning
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: when these radicals try and take over the blocks outside
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: of a synagogue to intimidate. You should be condemning that.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: When a cop gets shot, you shouldn't be going to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the person who's You shouldn't be going to the suspect's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: bed side. You should be going to the cops bed side. Look,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: every day, I still feel safe here rolling the streets
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: in New York personally, but this is a long term
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: thing we're talking about here. When you and your da
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: basically say throwing snowballs at cops in the way that
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that was done at Washington Square Park is just kids
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: playing around. And then when you say that your brothers
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and sisters with the Jewish people, only to it send
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a fake satyr and then do this heritage Jewish heritage
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: event no one wants to go to. I would think
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg would be people leaving, people
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: with money leaving, the billionaires leaving, because if you don't
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: have their support and they're backing after what we've gone
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: through the last six years trying to rebuild. Then you're
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: not doing a good job as mayor. Mayor, Mom, Donnie,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you're not. And when the state has to bail your
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: ass out while they're trying to deal with an l
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: R strike in an election year, you're not doing good
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: for New Yorkers. And when you don't condemn when swastikas
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: are showing up at the yeshiva schools for Jewish kids,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you're not doing a good job. So yeah, every day
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I think about it every day. I kind of don't
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: comment as much about it. But this this Bezos Mom
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Donnie back and forth is kind of interesting to me
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: because it's the same guy whose family just donated one
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollars to a socialist and to a g
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that's not making billionaires welcome here. And I just think,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: what is Jeff Bezos doing, What is his family doing
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: supporting this mayor who's trying to ruin the billionaire class,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And for mom dying to accept the donation but still
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: call out the billionaires is bull crap? Is bull crap.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I want to see improvement the next three
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and a half years. I can't believe we're almost halfway
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: through his first term, but I want to see improvement
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: through the next three and a half years. I want
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to see him come back down to earth, not just
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: smile away every issue that comes at his feet and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: act like that's gonna charm everybody from forgetting and it
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: doesn't approve improve I have a platform. I'm building a
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: platform of what I believe the City of the Mayor,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the City of New York's mayor, should be doing. And
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I believe in that platform and I'll stay it one
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: more time. The number one job of the Mayor of
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: New York is to keep the city and its people safe,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: all eight million. It's to keep us feeling secure. Also
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that nothing bad could happen to you because you're Jewish,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: because you're this, because you're that, because you're a cop.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: City of New York's mayor must always have the back
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: of the NYPD. You should not be visiting a suspect's bedside,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: but the the cops shot bedside, and New York City
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: should be welcoming not to one group, not to another group,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: but to all groups, including the billionaire class and post COVID.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: The city's mayor's job should be to make sure nobody
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: leaves the city and is forced to flee because of
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: high taxes post COVID. The job of the City of
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: New York's mayor, whomever that is, is to make sure
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: we don't lose another undred, four hundred and twenty thousand.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: It's to actually bring back people, make people welcome back,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and not push them away. And so far Mamdani's pushing
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: people and businesses and companies and cultures away. It was
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: so bad. Nick fans didn't even want him at the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Knicks game on Tuesday night when they made that incredible
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: comeback down twenty two, then an eighteen to one run.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Now they're tonight game two possible. We'll go up to
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: oh and look, I'll say this real quick. I know
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: people would love a clinching scenario in New York Game five,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to get there. If you have
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a chance to lock up the series in Cleveland up
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: three to zero, freaking seal the deal. We have the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: chance now to just take the momentum entirely after that
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: epic game on Tuesday night, entirely take the series over.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: But it got so bad for Mauley they didn't want
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: him at the game. They like, we're out out of
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the guards, saying, don't come in here, Asa Ramumdani. It
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: was very funny because they's already done with the Mets.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: He goes to City Field, The Mets go on to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: twelve game losing streak. We don't need that energy. We
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: don't need that energy this postseason run for the Knicks
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: at all. And even the Knicks called him out for
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: using their logo or something in a campaign. Dad remember that.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Mom, Donnie's screwing up on a lot of fronts,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: and I don't talk about it enough because I'm so
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: wrapped up in what's going on with the Iran War,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: what's going on with the knixt postseason run, what's going
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: on in the adaptive world. I just don't have a moment.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: But this Bezos back and forth with Mom Donnie gives
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: me a moment to just unload. Here are one look
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: up alex Media and say, mayor, Mom Donnie, listen to
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the platforms I believe you should be going on if
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: you want to be a better mayor for all New Yorkers.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I have a platform and I'm considering it for twenty
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: twenty nine, and that's my message at one leg A
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: balx Media
