- 2:15Speaker 4: We do, we do.
- 2:15Speaker 3: It's been there for a while.
- 2:16Speaker 1: I've been to the very top of it when I
- 2:18Speaker 1: was a fireman here when they were building it.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Oh all right, very good. Yeah, No, there's a lot
- 2:22Speaker 2: of If you look up at Westchester and you see
- 2:26Speaker 2: all these high rises and skyscrapers, that's Newer Shell. There's
- 2:29Speaker 2: a whole bunch of that's Newer Shell.
- 2:30Speaker 1: It's a completely different city than it was like ten
- 2:32Speaker 1: years ago.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, thanks for colling. Let's go to
- 2:35Speaker 2: Richard and Bay Shore. Richard, how you doing.
- 2:38Speaker 4: I'm doing well, Mark, good morning. I'd like to make
- 2:41Speaker 4: a point and then ask you a question. First of all, yes,
- 2:45Speaker 4: Mondami can through law enforcement, make transits virtually free. Just
- 2:50Speaker 4: let him know that he's not going to have anyone
- 2:53Speaker 4: arrested or prosecuted.
- 2:56Speaker 2: But just to point out the artis he has no
- 2:57Speaker 2: power to make the buses free. They're controlled by the
- 2:59Speaker 2: end that's controlled by the state legally.
- 3:02Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just made the facto Cuomo. Isn't
- 3:07Speaker 4: he running really to collect money for his retirement? How
- 3:10Speaker 4: much does a candidate get to keep of his donations
- 3:12Speaker 4: to pretend he's running a book, he's a secretary.
- 3:16Speaker 2: You get to keep all of it. Basically, you can
- 3:18Speaker 2: spend it on an office, a driver or this, or
- 3:20Speaker 2: at your expenses. But he already made a lot of
- 3:22Speaker 2: money as governor, and he made that five million dollar
- 3:24Speaker 2: book deal. And he's a guy who can go out
- 3:27Speaker 2: and make money. These donors love him. They'll always give
- 3:29Speaker 2: him a job. You know, he's been in between office before,
- 3:32Speaker 2: in between Attorney general and governor. He worked for a
- 3:36Speaker 2: big law firm. Another time he worked for a big
- 3:39Speaker 2: capital fund or something. They'll pay him a couple millionaire.
- 3:42Speaker 2: He could always pay away.
- 3:43Speaker 4: His brand is poisons because of his history, you know.
- 3:48Speaker 4: So he's he's doing so little to really advance his cause,
- 3:52Speaker 4: and it makes you one.
- 3:53Speaker 2: No, he's looking pretty sad, kind of Willy LOHMANI ish
- 3:56Speaker 2: in this race. But a guy like him, you know,
- 3:59Speaker 2: you can alway make money when you get out of office.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Believe it or not, you could leave in disgrace. You
- 4:04Speaker 2: can always make money. These big, big donors fall for
- 4:08Speaker 2: this stuff. They like the guy for a couple of reasons.
- 4:11Speaker 2: One they think he can pick up the phone and
- 4:14Speaker 2: get things done. He knows everybody in Albany. He can
- 4:16Speaker 2: get things today. That's one reason. The other reason they
- 4:19Speaker 2: love having him over to the house at their parties,
- 4:21Speaker 2: at their dinner parties, bring him to lunch. They think
- 4:23Speaker 2: he can bring in business. These big, big money guys,
- 4:26Speaker 2: believe it or not, they get more starstruck than anybody. Anybody,
- 4:30Speaker 2: even Anthony Wiener when he left off, even he could
- 4:32Speaker 2: find jobs. Just you know, he's like a novelty. He's
- 4:36Speaker 2: like a court yester. Let's go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim,
- 4:40Speaker 2: how you doing?
- 4:42Speaker 3: Mark? I went to the twice a year autograph convention
- 4:45Speaker 3: this weekend in Presipony, and at least everybody I went
- 4:49Speaker 3: up to is older than the Monica Henry. She was terrific.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Who's that I saw?
- 4:56Speaker 3: I bought Paul Henry's daughter, you know, Paul hen from Casablanca,
- 5:01Speaker 3: Victor Laslow who goes off at the end with Ingrid Bergman.
- 5:04Speaker 3: She was there.
- 5:05Speaker 2: She was Okay, we know who Paul Henry is. What
- 5:09Speaker 2: does his daughter have to do with anything?
- 5:11Speaker 3: Well, they're like legacy autographs.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Now, Mark, stop with the legacy autographs. You know. This
- 5:16Speaker 2: is for example, this is like we hire guest bookers.
- 5:21Speaker 2: When you get a really bad one, the worst guest
- 5:23Speaker 2: booker ends up with relatives. I have Jerry Seinfeld's sister,
- 5:26Speaker 2: we have her well for example, brother example, we're supposed
- 5:30Speaker 2: to get the celebrities, not their relatives.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Oh but they were boring. Victoria Price, Vincent Price's daughter
- 5:36Speaker 3: was there.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is the most pathetic thing.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Now for this one, Mark, she's eighty seven. She looked gorgeous.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Joyce Boulephant remember her from the match game, et cetera.
- 5:46Speaker 2: She was a very nice thing. Okay, let me let
- 5:48Speaker 2: me ask you a personal question. Sure if I signed
- 5:51Speaker 2: an autograph Joyce Bullfont, who the hell would know? What
- 5:54Speaker 2: do you even need to go see this? Who's gonna
- 5:55Speaker 2: know Henry's autograph or not?
- 5:59Speaker 3: She has a book out are called My Four Husbands,
- 6:01Speaker 3: My Four Hollywood Husbands. Jeyge Boulapat, she's eighty seven, she
- 6:04Speaker 3: look great. And Dave Davies was there from the Kinks,
- 6:08Speaker 3: Poor old Dave Davies, the lead guitarist King Ray's brother.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Ray Davies brother, not even Ray Davies. It's I have
- 6:16Speaker 2: to stop you. You're a great guy, but this is
- 6:19Speaker 2: too pathetic. This is what these autograph shows have become.
- 6:21Speaker 2: They used to have these B lists, C list, then
- 6:24Speaker 2: it was D list, E list. Now it's the cousins
- 6:27Speaker 2: of the people on the deal. This is really bad. Hey,
- 6:29Speaker 2: when we come back, Dick Morris, the great Polster consultant.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Lots of talk to him about next on seven to
- 6:35Speaker 2: ten WR, let's
