  Speaker 1: Mister red Apple Media, our dear friend John Katsumatitis. John,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I know that you've heard the rumors like I have.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of history already in eight months
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: between me and mom Donnie, obviously, but you've heard the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: rumors that it doesn't stop at mayor maybe there's a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: even loftier position in his future. What are you hearing exactly?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I am going into the Lincoln Tunnels.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I hope I don't lose you.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, you might, you might, okay, Okay.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Tony admitted there's no traffic. The thing that you might
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: get rid of Mndunmi. You know, he has made himself worldwide,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: famous worldwide, and he may want to move on to
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: become a take to challenger Chuck Schumer the same way.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: The rooms are that AOC wants to run for president
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: and is leaning in some of the posts. Davin Newsom, Well,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: you know, I think people are getting tired of him
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and we don't know what's gonna happen. On my local
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: show on Sunday said I had three or four or
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: five Democrats, Jerry Krieger, Hank Shankoff, David Patterson, a few others.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: That oh, you're the part of the JACOMO.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The Democratic Party has to separate themselves from the Socialist Party.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And well, two of those guys, Shankoff and Patterson who
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: are on my show here quite a bit as well.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: They're barely Democrats at this point, you know. I mean,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it's funny we still call John Betterman a Democrat. I'm
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: starting to feel like the people that are the old
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: school Democrats that do have common sense, first of all,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: don't serve anymore. They don't Patterson, he's been out of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: politics for a long time, but those folks sound more
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: like Republicans don than Democrats.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you know, let's just say that common sense.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: They're closer to the center than the closer to the
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: extreme left, the extreme right. You know, I've always said
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the extreme left, the extreme right is not good for America.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Somewhere in the center, whether the center left, center right,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: or whatever, common sense has to prevail. And and that's
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: really what we need. I mean, what's gonna happen in
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the oil business. So you know, I was on Fox
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: two last week and I said, look, oil went up
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: from from it hit a low sixty seven where we
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: originally thought it would be and then it went up
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: to ninety ninety five almost a hun Yeah, yeah, you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: went up like twenty uh in two weeks. But I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: also said he could go down thirty forty versus somebody
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: looney economists saying, oh, inflation and inflation, inflation, and they're
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: looking for it. This is not the lower interest rates,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: because America needs cheap gas prices and cheap interest rates.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And even our own people sometimes are saying, oh, oil
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: is eighty nine dollars. Oil is eighty three dollars this morning.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: You know, we pay WTI, which is Western Texas crude,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and we're not paying Brett, which is European Asian fruit.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: And so our own people have to realize that, and look,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: something is going on. I am not privy to it,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: very I'm sure not too many people are privy to it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: But Trump, President Trump is not bombed in three days. Now.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: What's gonna happen with Iran? What's really gonna happen is
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the common sense people that are in charge of Iran
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: trying to make peace. Uh. They are trying to engage
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the regular Iranian army to fight to fight the uh
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the Iranian god right right, Yeah, And I'm on right now.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: But the Iranian people have to uh sort out their
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: own problems. Uh, and they may be in the midst
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of it. I mean not having not bombing for three
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: days in a row. Something something is up.

  Speaker 2: they be. And and sometimes people had to learn the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: hard way. Well, Jesus Christ, what else?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: What more? Hey?
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: What is had we had? Look? You know what we had?

  Speaker 2: We had? There's a lawsuit going on on these stupid
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: bicycle lanes. Oh yes, yes, because the city wants a
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: permission to to be able to any neighborhood to open
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: up bicycle lanes with even without asking anybody.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: That's ridiculous.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And the lawyer in that one was Hartley Bernstein. Smart guy.

  Speaker 2: Let's see what happens. The other the problem we have
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: in the city is Randy mashro is fighting for the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: small landlords because if they freeze the rets and their
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: expenses keep going up. Kiss fucked, they're gonna go broke. Yep,

• 9:18
  Speaker 2: big item in the nineties, in nineteen twenties, he created
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the Jones Act and President Trump suspended it, and we
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: had Rachel Gidler on with down tony ninety three American
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: ships sit ninety three American ships.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Way too long.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's stupid, yeah, you know, and you gotta
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: get the product around and the President Trump has suspended
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the Jones Act, and it should be suspended permanently because
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: it was raised in the nineteen twenties when we had
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: thousands of ships, right exactly to protect American ships.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well, I'm glad you brought up Randy Maish
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: so I miss him. He was so great for Adams.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: That's why Adams at the end did his best work.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: It was only a couple of months, but once Randy
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: got there, he kind of straightened that ship out. He
• 10:09
