• 0:09
  Speaker 2: then he had that spectacular gubernatorial run.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It really was.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: He gave Kathy Hokeel a great fight. He had to
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: beat some really impressive guys along the way, from Andrew Giuliani,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: who was on this show just two days ago, to
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Rob Baston. We know I saw Robin Rockland County on Friday.

• 0:37
  Speaker 2: of dollars in fraud Day one, Lee Shelton did that,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: and yesterday's cabinet meeting I gave out two MVPs.

• 1:00

• 1:15
  Speaker 3: eighth birthday right there.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: How old is Marco Rubio? I would have no idea
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: how old Marco is. He's such a young face, young guy.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: That's a pretty good question. I think he's he's almost
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: ten years older than I am. So I was born
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: in eighty. I think he was like early seventies. He's
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: probably like mid fifties right now.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Mid fifties. So you're in Look at you. I just realized,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: mid forties. Look like you've accomplished already. Lee, Senator, almost
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: won the gubernatorial working for the Trump administration.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Mid forties.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: You can't get into Peter Lugers though. I'm still waiting
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: for my invite.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Man, God, that was such a funny night. And with
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the again, I keep bringing this up because he is Lee.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: He was running for governor at.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: The time, he was a sitting senator and he's trying
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: to get into Peter Lugro in Brooklyn and I'm sitting
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: at my son's birthday for Gabriel, and to the table
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: next to me was Elliott Spitzer and Lese Helden was
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: looking for table. I think now now leave with the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: work you've done for President Trump. I think you got
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a table with no problem. Although I don't know. Williamsburg,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn is very, very, very liberal, you know that, right,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I kind of I kind of liked the fact the
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: story that you know, you can be humbled at any
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: point life. I mean, you know, it's it's.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: All good, you know.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I remember you and I were stuck on the second
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: row of the Knicks game for a unsuccessful playoff run
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, way way back in the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: second row, very humbled.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I still have that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Picture getting some playoff games.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I think, so I'm trying to get to at least one.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I so you actually took a picture across the court
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of me because I was so taned, I stood out.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You know, there's me and Spike Lee and I still
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: have that picture you took of me that night.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And you're right. Then, the Knicks were good. They were good.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Those are the Julius Randall teams and even Chenzo we
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: were good. But not this team. This team is I mean, Ali,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, have you ever seen anything like this before.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: It's it's amazing. And by the way, in my defense,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I only took that one photo of you. If I
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: if I had sent you pictures from the entire game,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: that would have been weird. This team is awesome. I
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: had an opportunity to UH to make it to Game
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: two UH at MSG against the Cavs, and it's just
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: it's such a wild run. You know. I have so
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: many amazing memories in the nineties, you know, as a teenager,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and it was an exciting team, like when you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: you had these streaky players, you know, like Starks and
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Davis and you know, and Anthony, Like they would go
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: out and they would hit you know, like six three
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: pointers out of in a row. You had MSG hollering
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: for you know, the twelfth man Herb Williams to get
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: into a game and you know, and get a shot
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: in and a sixth man and Anthony Mason. I made
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: great memories from the nineties, but they didn't punch it
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: over the top in the finals. And I hope this
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: is the year man because my whole life. BET's pointed
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: out forty six never had a chance to celebrate a
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: next championship.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Not true, Not true.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: It's been fifty three years. Lee was negative seven last time.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Although although if you listen to the lady that you
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: gave quite a run for Governor Kathy Hokeel. According to her,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you have enjoyed a Nick championship they just won back
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety three.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, gosh, I wish there are probably plenty of nights
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: where in my dreams, those nineties teams won the championship.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I would actually challenge Kathy Hockel to identify the starting
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: lineup of the current next team. I think she probably
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: would have some problems with that. And by the way,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: questioning whether or not Donald Trump is a lifelong Knicks
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: fan just shows how much you're not a lifelong Knicks fan,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: because I mean Trump was courtsied throughout that run in
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: the nineties and in the two thousands and the twenty tens,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I mean until he starts running for president and you
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: got a little busy with a with a new full
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: time job down in DC.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was always courtsided. Always.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: In fact, he was on this show with me Lee
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: less than three weeks ago, less than three weeks ago,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you know, on you know that's on fire in the midterms,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and guess what, at the time, the Knicks had just
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: beaten Philadelphia, hone him beat in Cleveland, you have to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: get to the NBA Finals. They had just beaten Philadelphia
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to quick Exchange Shore. It is Lee's heldon me and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: President Trump about the Knicks three weeks ago.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Are you still a Knick fan? President Trump?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I am, and I get along with Jim Dolan.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I think he's a really.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Nice guy and he's entitled to a good team because
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: he's he's suffered a little bit, and boy they turned
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: you know, some of these.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Players has turned out to be great players. Yeah, it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: great now. I like Jim Dolan a lot. I'm really
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: happy for him and for the team. I think it's great.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And you're right, many many pictures of President Trump court
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: side out a Nick game. I don't got all those
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: pictures of HKO. But look, I want to move up
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Hooklan and get to what you're doing with the EPA.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: But what do you think here? Bruce Blakeman, he was
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: on with me literally thirty minutes ago, lead right before you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: He was my last guest, and he's gained some great momentum.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I was in the crowd in Rockland County Friday. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: saw President Trump with Michael Lawler. Bruce Spokey lit the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: place up. He has cut what was once a double
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: digit twenty plus point lead in certain polls down to
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: less than ten. What do you think of Blakeman's chances
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: come November.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I think that they just get better every single day.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, you see it. It's reflected in the polls.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: You compare twenty two to twenty six, Maran twenty two.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: As you pointed out, in the last four years, Republican
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: registration's up, Conservative registration's up, non affiliate voter registration up.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: The actually the only one that's found is the registered
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Democrats and the direction of the state has only gotten worse.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: When I was running against Tocul, a lot of people
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: really didn't know her. They didn't have her figured out yet.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, she's one of those people where the more
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: you know her, the more you dislike her. So you
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: know her Bruce being able to run against her in
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: twenty six she's more of a known commodity and not
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: in a good way for her. And you know, Bruce
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: is a popular county executive in Nasau. This is this
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: is a county that is just loaded up with Democrats
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: who feel very comfortable not just to vote for Bruce once,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: but you know they voted for him multiple times. They
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: like him. You know. The other thing that really has
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: impressed me with Bruce is how he builds coalitions, Like
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: how he'll go out and talk to Democrats and like
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: find them where they are, like he isn't. This is
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: one of my criticisms have had through the years, where
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Republicans are Conservatives just wouldn't go to go, you know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: to talk uncomfortably to people who haven't supported you. It's easy,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: you know, for democrats to talk to democrats or Republicans
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: to talk to Republicans. Bruce has just no problem talking
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: to anyone and engaging them where they are. And if
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: you care about the future of the state, you know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: you want your money to go further. You want to
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: feel safe walking through the street. You want to feel free.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: You're you're hitting your great you're breaking point. You have
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: people in your family were hid and left. I mean
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: twenty two we were talking about saving New York. It's
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I thought we were getting pretty close to rock bottom then,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: but you know, we found new lows since and Bruce's
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: he's the man for the job.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more. Markol Rubio, by the way, fifty five today, Lee, So.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Let me get back to this meeting yesterday, because you know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: we've seen a bunch of people in this administration. I
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: love the fact that President Trump is focused on this.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Look at the job that doctor Roze has done. He
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: was in these studios last week too. Medican't medicate all
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: that fraud. Your partner out there in Nashau County, Anthony
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: d Esposito. The job he's done with the Labor Department,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: He's uncovered billions in fraud. Jd Vance, who has now
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: been put in charge by President Trump directly with the fraud.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And you you started all of this with the EPA.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: You really were the pioneer Stacy Abrams and billions of
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: dollars from one hundred and thirty dollars or one hundred
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: and three dollars to two billion dollars. I know the
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: President highlighted that yesterday. Congratulations. Why do you think all
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, we're finding all this money and why
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: didn't anybody care before?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Well, for one, the people who were there before were
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: the ones who were trying to reward their friends. And
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: at the Trump EPA, when we cancel a two billion
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: dollar grant to the Stacy Abrams linked NGO, we're not
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: taking that money and looking to give it to a
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: right wing NGO. It's about giving it back to the taxpayer.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: When I mentioned yesterday that we've canceled over twenty nine
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: billion dollars worth of grants, and it's just been so
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: much money that has gone to Homer Biden and Obama
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: officials and Democratic donors and unqualified recipients. I mean, you
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: pointed out that the Stacy Abrams LINKEDNNGO, they got one
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: hundred dollars in twenty twenty three, they get two billion
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: dollars in twenty twenty four. I mean, this doesn't pass
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: any type of a smell test. But we're not over
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: here saying okay, let's take the twenty nine billion dollars
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: and now give it to friendly right wing NGOs, to
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: conservative NGOs. I mean, I haven't said that with regards
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: to one dollar. There's been one dollar out of the
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: twenty nine billion that I have canceled a grant, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to get that redirected to some friend or ally.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I want, I take it very seriously, is zero tolerance
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: policy for any waste and abuse. I want to be
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: an exceptional steward of tax dollars. They started before I
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: was even confirmed at the EPA. When during the transition
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I mentioned this yesterday, some buyen EPA official was caught
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: on video saying that they were tossing gold bars off
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: the Titanic, his words, not mine. And they were rushing
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: to get billions of dollars out the door before President
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Trump got sworn in, because they're worried that if they wait,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: the money won't get out. And they were also talking
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: about how they wanted to score themselves jobs at the
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: recipiing NGOs. So it's not even about rewarding friends. It's
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: about rewarding friends and then getting their theirs themselves when
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: the administration ends. And so the sirens went off during
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: that transition process as soon as I saw it, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I was like, man, this seems to be a top
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: priority the first moment we get in, and it was.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, that doesn't even include the seven hundred and
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: fifty million dollars annually that we now save because of
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: staff efficiencies, the million saved, real estate consolidations, canceled media subscriptions,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: closed by an EPA museum that no one knew about. Sorry,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: said I know every time you come to DC. That
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: was always your Uh that was top of your your
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: your leg, Oh yeah, number one. But yeah, Well, I
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: mean we're saving a ton of money. Unapologetically. We love
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: doing it. And I mean I gots if if someone
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: came to me and said, I have an idea on
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: how to save fifty dollars, I don't care like you.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: You have my full attention, like, let's save it. You
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: could come to me and save You could say you
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: know how to save five billion. You could come to
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: me and say you know how to save five thousand,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: and every penny matters.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Every Tenny, I know you only have sixty seconds ago.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: What's going on these chemical tanks across the country. It's
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: not funny. We had one, I guess implode killed the person.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Nine are still missing in the state of Washington. But
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I saw you on television a couple of days ago
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: with Tapper this this potential, as you called, the catastrophe
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: out in California, in Orange County, California with that chemical
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Is that thing still similaring?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Is that still an issue?
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Well, the worst case scenario has been averted. Orange County
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Fire Authority has been a lead agency and it's been
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: all hands on deck, all levels of government, you know,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: keeping the tanks cool. You know there's been and whether
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: it's the deployment of air monitors, watching water quality, making
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: sure that the contents in there didn't end up exploding
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: in a way with a catastrophic failure that would cause
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: other tanks to explode, which by the way, could have
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: caused not just a mass casualty situation. That's almost like
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: a an underestimation of how devastating it could have been.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: It could have been worse than that, and that's why
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: there was such a big evacuation. But you go through
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: all of those steps to plan for the worst case
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: scenario but also take steps to make sure it doesn't happen.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, yeah, the tank
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: was don't to fail. We knew that all along. But
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: the best case scenario of how a tank would fail,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: and what that means for the community is is house
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: has played out because of you know, all hands on deck,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: everyone doing our part to mitigate it. And you know, listen,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I mean there's in communities all across the country. You know,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: there's manufacturing, there's there are different plants doing important work
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: for our country, for national security, for our economy, and
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: there's a responsibility on their part. Uh, there's a responsibility
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: on the part of the government as it relates to oversight.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: But you know, these companies need to do the right
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: thing by their by their workers, to the environment, to
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: the community and you and making sure you don't cut
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: corners on the technology cyber you know, and bad actor
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: agents from abroad, like, there's a lot that you as
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: as that company need to take responsibility for to prevent
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: that worst case scenario. In this case, man, this was
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: this was a rough few days, fearing the worst, but
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: fortunately we were able to stop.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: It final sixty seconds. You're doing great job at the EPA.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that President Trump wants you to stay right there.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: But you know, when Pam Bondy was gone, a lot
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: of rumors that Lee's Eldon will be the next to
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Toney General. I think Todd Blanche is doing a terrific job,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: and I think everybody's kind of settled in with Todd.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I know you love Todd.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: You will give me Todd Blanch credit yesterday at the
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: at the cabinet meeting. So are you pretty much resigned
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: to staying at the EPA? Do you still have your
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: site set maybe on that ag job.
