  Speaker 1: Marximoni's back on seventeen wor well, a lot going on,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: a lot going on. So we were talking about this
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: incident in Maine. Ice killed someone. It looked pretty justified.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Even witnesses said the guy was in his car trying
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to run in to run over the Ice agents. They
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: ordered him to stop, get out of his car. Instead,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: he took his car and tried to basically kill themself.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And again witnesses say that there's no body cam footage
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: yet revealed, but again you got multiple witnesses. It'll become
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: they're trying to make this. Democrats trying to make this
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: a big story. It's all over CNN and MSNBC, but
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: they can't seem to get it to really catch on.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: It's not big, big news everywhere, but they're trying to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: make it so. And in Maine they're especially trying to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: make it big news because they think it'll help them
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in the election to defeat Susan Collins, the main, longtime
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: main senator. Now, she's not a big Trump supporter, she's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: not a Trumpie, she's not a MAGA, she's not a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: big Ice support. It's actually probably going to help her
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in the long run. Now, I don't think they realize
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: that they're going to play this up, not realizing in
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the end she'll benefit fit from it. I mean, they've
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: got to find themselves a candidate, and Susan Collins always
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in the end seems to get re elected. So things
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: look look pretty good for her. You know, you got
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: all these main people yelling and screaming about it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And the question is what did he do with his vehicle?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Were officers threatened? Were the threats rising to the level
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: that justified deadly force?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like they did, and there's witnesses. So
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I don't see how they're going to make much out
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of that. Governor hokel one year ban on data centers
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in New York. All right, these data centers, we need
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: this for AI. You know, as much as people love AI,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think they realize it uses like a million
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: times more electricity than regular Internet Google searches. It uses
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a ton of electricity, and it takes massive data centers.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: And you think, well, that'd be great to have a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: big data center in art. No, because the problem is
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the data center uses up all the electricity in the town,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: uses up all the water supply. They're trying to figure
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: this all out, how they can power these things and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: what they can do for water. But in the meantime,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hockel one year ban on data centers. That may
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: not be a bad thing, to take a pause for
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a year and figure out if we really want these
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: or not. Let's say it works out elsewhere, So it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: possible Kathy Hochel actually did a smart thing here. As
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: they say, even a broken clock is right twice a day,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: so it could have happened. There's a new study out
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that shows there are a lot of millionaires leaving New York.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: In fact, so many left from New York that we
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: lost eleven billion dollars in tax revenue in the past year.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Eleven billion lost because of all these millionaires leaving. Now,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you remember the millionaires and zillionaires, they pay all the tax.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: The top one percent pays like a forty nine percent
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of the tax. The top ten percent pays like ninety
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: nine percent of it. So you really don't want to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: lose them. You're losing tons and tons and tons of revenue.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: New York has lost more population to every state than
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it has gained from them. When New York loses population,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: who benefits the most. Florida and Texas biggest recipients of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: ex New Yorkers. Many of them very wealthy, so they
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: provide a lot of tax revenue. Number of millionaires in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: New York it used to be almost thirteen percent. Now
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it's eight percent. That's a big drop. That's millionaires. It
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: keeps dropping off. We don't course correct and get laser
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: focused on keeping these people here. It's not good. You're
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: going to lose a lot of tax revenue. Also as
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a result, you're losing a lot of businesses. The number
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of small businesses actually decreased in New York. That's a
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: very bad thing. The city council speaker, who's pretty good,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Julie men and she's pretty common sense, a Democrat, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a common sense one, has been really really trying to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: talk about this the last couple of days. We can't
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: have less small business now than before. It's just not
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: going to be a good thing. Top ex Iranian commander
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Iranian military leader says that Iran can assassinate Trump any
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: time they want. They can do it inside the White
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: House if they want. We are capable, he says. Now
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: this is tradition in that part of the world where
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: they just make these ridiculous claims. Remember Sodom Hussein made
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: all those kind of claims when we went to work
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and claiming he was going to wipe us out in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: two seconds, he could destroy the whole country. They've able
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to make these kind of ridiculous claims. But the Iranians,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: this is a former general, he said, the country is
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: not actually aiming for peace. That's not their aim. We
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: are not negotiating for peace with Trump and his criminal
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: aids and the negotiations. We are only seeking to restore
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: our rights and clarify the accusations made against us by
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the United States. As for revenge and retaliation, it's on
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the table. Well, and of course the accusations are true.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It's a Ran that was funding and financing and backing
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: hesbala hamas hoodies. They're the biggest sponsor of terrorism all
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: over the world, no doubt about that from anybody. Hey,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: some suburban news. Now you could argue, where's it better
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to live right in the middle of the big city
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: or out in the nice, beautiful Bucolic suburbs. Well, I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: don't know. I look at right here in the big city.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Although I spend a lot of time out in the suburbs.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: But some people think I would never live in that city.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: It's dangerous. I want to be in the suburbs. Now,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: let's take Connecticut for instance. You're living in beautiful Connecticut,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: grass and trees and so scenic. Look and listen to
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: this story. Number of bears entering homes increasing at an
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: alarming rate in Connecticut. That's one thing to be out
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in your yard and there's a bear, or you're having
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a barbecue and a bear shows up, But they're now
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: entering homes at an alarming rate Connecticut in just this
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: year is confirmed thirty one home entries by bears. Now
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: as frightening as it might be to look out and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: see a bear in your yard, are you imagine seeing
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a bear in your living room? I don't even know
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: what are you supposed to do? Just leave your house run.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It's the most frightening thing I've ever heard of. It's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: increasing dramatically. Officials say it's because bears are getting more
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and more used to people. They're getting more comfortable around people,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: they're not afraid of them. They've also come to realize
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that where there's people, there's food. There's always food around people.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: They've been coming into yards because they go through the garbage.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Or if you have a barbecue and you know, that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: thing just sends out the smell of food in every
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: direction and attracts bears. And if you have garbage and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it's not, you know, all sealed and everything, it attracts
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: unsecured trash and bird feeders are the two biggest reasons
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: bears will come to your house. There's other reasons, but
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: now more and more they're entering homes. They're going through windows,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: through screen doors. They will not stop a bear if
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they smell food and you know it's in your kitchen,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: or they'll smell food. More and more bears entering homes.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: There's another reason to live here in the city, not
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: out in the suburbs. There are I'll tell you one
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: thing the suburbs have that's better than anything in the city. Supermarkets.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: We don't have the greatest supermarkets. You know, they're mostly
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: just kind of regular old supermarkets. They're small, they're cramped.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It's right in the middle of the New York City.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You got Butterfields. There's two of them in Manhattan. They're
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: much more, you know, higher end, but even they're not
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that big. You go to the suburbs. They got supermarkets
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that go for miles. There's Stu Leonards, it's ten miles long.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: You ever been in a Wegmans in the suburbs. You
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: couldn't even go up and down. There's like one hundred
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and fifty aisles. You know, when you ask somebody where
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: something is, they don't say, oh, it's Aisle three, it's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Aisle one, one hundred and twenty seven. You need a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: golf cart this shop there. So that's an advantage of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the suburbs. Hey, the best one is my favorite is
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Uncle Giuseppes. They're all over Long Island. There's a couple
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey Uncle Giuseppes. It's like the Italian Wegmans.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. If you're ever out in Long Island, wherever
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: there is, just going to Uncle Giuseppes, you will be
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: stunned at how great it is. It's absolutely incredible. They're
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: opening a new one Wheatley Plaza. Was that Greenvale? This
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: is how big they are. They're opening this new supermarket.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: The company wants to hire two hundred and fifty people
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: for the supermarket. They're actually looking for one thousand team members.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: In the next year they're opening, Oh, they're opening a
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: couple more in New Jersey, Pennsylvania. There should be a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: law passed that Uncle Giuseppes has to open in Manhattan
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and that's it and Connecticut. But they're really it's an
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: amazing place. You've ever been to Italy? You know that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: looks pretty cool? Uncle Giuseppes is that times like twenty thousand?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: As long as you're tving Long Island. Also, congratulations London Jewelers,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: one of the great great Long Island stores. London Jewelers
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: celebrating their hundredth anniversary. Great people that run. That's Mark
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: you Dell and his wife Candy, and it's like third
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: generation London Jewelers. They opened a Short Hills mall and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: they're all over the place and they're great friends of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: iHeart and they're doing just wonderful work. Congratulations on one
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: hundred years. John Stewart, this guy is crazier and crazier.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So he has Jack Smith on the show. You know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the bug eyed weirdo with the cape that went after Trump,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the dirty prosecutor who's whenever they need a hit man
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to go after some political enemy, they always bring in
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith. So when it was time to get Trump,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: they flew him in from like halfway around the world,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: right in Washington, d C. Twenty five hundred guys who
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: would have been perfect for special counsel, but they went
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: halfway around the world to get this hitman to come in.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So I don't know why, because that case is long gone,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the document's case at mar A Lago. And it turned
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: out Jack Smith was lying about everything. Turned out there
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: weren't boxes of classified documents. In the end, all he
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: found were thirty five If you put him in a folder,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that folder is one inch thick, so it's one inch
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of one box. He never made clear that all the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: boxes and those pictures were not classified documents. But John
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Stewart has the guy on and is drooling all over him,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: fawning all over him. I mean, jacksmanth had to wear
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: a bib for this interview. John Stewart is drooling all
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: over this guy. And then he talked about he said
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: he was overwhelmed by his manly manness. I mean, if
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: you're looking for if you were casting a movie, I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: knew a manly man look. Would you bring in Jack Smith,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: this scrawny, bug eyed weirdo with the Cape. I don't
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: think so. He's John Stewart fawning all of them say, Oh,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I see a guy like you. I just literally want
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to do shots with you. You look so manly. Now,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: this will give you an idea how warped, how out
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: of touch John Stewart is with reality. He said, you
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: see this guy and you just want to go to
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a Giants game with him? Can you picture Jack Smith
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: at a Giants game? I don't think so. I mean,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he looks like he's not a football fan, looks more
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: like the birdwatcher, a stamp collector type of guy. Hey,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin, they always obnoxious, unpleasant. Alec Baldwin. He and
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: his wife Hilaria. You know, they've had this Hampton's mansion
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: for years, this mansion that they've been living in. They
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: live in Manhattan, but they've got this mansion in the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Hamptons selling for about thirty million dollars, but nobody wants it,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: so they keep lowering the price. It was thirty million,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: it was twenty five million, and then they brought it
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: down to nineteen million. That's a big drop from thirty million.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And it's been on the market for three years. Nobody
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: wants it, and they just delisted it. They finally took
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: it off the mark market. That's it. It's off the market.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I think it's because of Alec Baldwin. You know how
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: sometimes the house is great, but its people know it's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a haunted house. Nobody wants it. It's known to be haunted.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I think this has kind of this Alec Baldwin stink
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: all over this house, because if you look at the pictures,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: there's even a video tour online, it looks like one
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of those big Hampton's mansions. But nobody wants this thing.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: It's an amagansett. It's ten thousand square feet, seven bedrooms,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: nine bathrooms. It has a wood paneled library, it has
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: a movie theater, a wine room, a pool, and a spa.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: And nobody wants it. And things are sounding like crazy
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: in the Hamptons. It's a big, big seller's market right now.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: So it's on three point two acres, it has a
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: lot of land. I mean, it's got to be Alec Baldwin.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: It looks pretty nice. Houses are sounding like crazy. This
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: is like four years. Nobody will buy this house. Nobody
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: even looks at it. They just delisted it. Tells you
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: what even people in the Hampton's think. Alec Baldwin. Anyway,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. Hey, we're always This week
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: we won a lot of new callers, a lot of
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: new people that haven't called before. We'll take some calls next.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: The number is eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Is the number eight hundred three two one zero seven
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: ten
