  Speaker 1: Mister New York Mark zimone.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: He's on seven ten. Wr oh, we got a lot
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: to get through this hour. We'll get back to China
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: and more. Now, remember the President when he was just
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: private citizen, Donald Trump. It was back in the eighties,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: and he really showed up the city of New York.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: It was the Woman skating rink in Central Park. It
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: had been closed down and was basically a construction site.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: They were trying to fix the skating rink in Woman
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Park for years, and it drove Donald Trump nuts because
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: his Trump Tower, if you were on that side of
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the building as he was in his apartment or in
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: his office, and the view was looking into Central Park
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and it looked horrible. Look he'd look into the Woman
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Rink and it was just this big, ugly construction site
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and it was a total mess. On. This went on
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: for years. So finally went public about it, and Ed
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Koch was the at the time, and they got into
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: a big war about it. The city was trying to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: rebuild the skating rink and they had spent like one
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: hundred million or some crazy amount and it was taken
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: seven years, and they announced it could take another seven years.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: And Trump really went after Koch. He goes, this is
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: absolute ridiculous. The skating rink, it's a slab of concrete,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: was a mice on it. To take a few weeks,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and Koch couldn't believe the arrogance of Trump, so he
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: challenged him publicly. He said, all right, let's see you
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: do it. Let's see you build that skating rink in
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a few weeks. Well he did. It was simple. He's
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: a construction guy. The City of New York was going
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to take something like fourteen years and spend one hundred million,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and every time they built the thing and they had
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: to tear it up because it was all wrong. The
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: government doesn't know how to build anything. Trump got it
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: done so fast and at no cost. You know. One
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: of the big problems was the City of New York
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: had hired an air conditioning company from Miami to build
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the rink, and every time they put the pipes in
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: or the things that there was always the wrong pipes.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: They didn't work, and they Trump said, this is ridiculous.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: He said, every time I go to Madison Square Garden,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: there's a basketball game one night, next night there's a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: hockey game. So somehow in one night they put a
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: state of the art skating rink down. So he called
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden and he said, how do you build
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: these skating rinks? They said, well, you got ice guys
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: who build them. The best one is the Montreal Canadians guy.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: So Trump called him up. He was honored to come
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: to Central Park. So he got it done real fast,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: at like one fifty at the cost that the city
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: was going to spend, got it done in a couple
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: of months, and showed up. The city coach was so
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: upset he never spoke to Trump again. The same thing
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: is going on right now in Washington, d C. With
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the reflecting pool. You know where the Lincoln Memorial is
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and the Washington Monument between is that long, beautiful pool,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the reflecting pool. You see it in all the pictures.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: That's where Martin Luther King, you know, made the speech
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: in front of that, A magnificent long reflecting pool. Well,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it's been in total disrepair for the last few years
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: thanks to Biden Obama. It's not only in total disrepair,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: all cracked and awful, but it's filled with feces. Yeah,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know, something with the drainage. It's filled with feces.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: It is absolutely disgusting. So President Trump decided, you got
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to fix this. You know, it's not really his responsibility,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: but he looks at it and says, you got to
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: fix this. So he announced he would take care of it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: He would rebuild the reflecting pool. I think let me
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: get the numbers. I think he said six million to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: fix it. Well, the New York Times is going after him.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: They're writing these vicious pieces about the costs are out
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of control. Originally he said two two million, he said
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: two million. So the New York Times writes a big
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: piece attacking him because actual cost has now jump to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: almost thirteen million from two million. It's out of control. Well,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: as he pointed out the Biden deministration, the government was
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: going to do it for four hundred million. And again
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: it's like the woman ring. They'll use all the wrong
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: people that don't know what they're doing. Now, remember Donald
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Trump builds swimming pools all over the world for years.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: He's an expert at building swimming pools. All of his resorts,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: all of his hotels, all of his golf courses, they
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: have magnificent swimming pools. So he said, I'll bring in
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the top swimming pool. Guys, this is basically a swimming pool,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and they'll fix everything. They'll fix the drains, they'll fix
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the tile, they'll redo it. And so what if it's
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: thirteen million. The government was going to do four hundred million,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: and they said it would take them five years. Trump
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: says it'll take them a couple of weeks. So this
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: is another woman rink about to happen. The difference is
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: you won't see much coverage of this. They'll keep this
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: one real quiet. Hey, the virus. Now they've brought back
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: people off that ship. There are three Americans from that
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: ship with the virus that hunt a virus. They're back
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: in this country. They're on a military base. We have
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a military base that is a quarantine center. They are there.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It's in Nebraska. People in Nebraska are worried about these
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: people with the virus. Here's the guy at the base.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: No one who poses a risk to public health is
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: walking out the front door of the streets of Omahar Beyond. Yeah,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: unless you elect Andrew Cuomo governor. I've ordered everybody to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: go into the quarantine center. Remember that. Looking back on
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: that now, was that the single dumbest decision any politician
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: has ever made in the history of the world. The
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: middle of the big pandemic with the virus, he orders
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: all the nursing homes to take in patients who have
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the virus. They just got diagnosed with the virus. They
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: got it, it's definite. He ordered the nursing homes to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: take them in. It killed ten thousand senior citizens. But
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the virus officials saying it's not a threat. Don't worry,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: it's not going to spread. Here's President Trump.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: He gave us all wrong information on COVID. They were
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: totally wrong. And I look today and I saw the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: same doctor that was there. He's a good politician. I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: don't know how all he kept his shot, but he
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: was there telling us about this.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they did get it wrong before. I remember, we
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: got the video, we got the audio. Before the pandemic
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: broke out. Here. Fauci was on radio on TV saying,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: whenever he was asked, he said, there's no nothing to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: worry about. The virus will not come here. That was
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Fauci over and over. He said a number of times
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: before it came here. So they do get it wrong.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Just just remember that. Help It's fine.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: All I can do is everything that a president can do,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: which is which is actually somewhat limited. But it seems
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: like it is not easy to spread.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, so now again all the experts of scientists say,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: it's not like the coronavirus. This one's not airborne. It's
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: very tough to transmit. It takes very very close contact,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: usually in exchange of fluids. Hey, so where we are
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: right here, If you look out the window, that's fifty
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: sixth Street, and right over there is fifty seventh Street.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: They call it Billionaire's Row. And if you go over
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: there to Billionaire's Row, they're the most expensive apartment buildings
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: in the world. In fact, I was watching Channel four
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: News a few months ago and it said, when we
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: come back, the most expensive block in the world. So
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I waited to the commercials, what is the most expense, Well,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: they showed our neighborhood. Right over there, it's fifty seventh
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: between sixth and seventh. It's the most expensive block in
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the world. You got all these buildings at that Steinway Building,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: apartments go for ninety million, one hundred million. You got
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: one Central Park apartments go for one hundred and twenty
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty million. Michael Dell has an apartment there,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Bill Ackman, a lot of hedge fund guys, a lot
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: of Russian oligarchs, and you got a bunch of these buildings.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: You got what's the other one there, right up the block.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: It's that one has apartments. It's like one hundred and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: five stories. It's actually the tallest apartment building in North America.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: It has apartments going for like one hundred and fifty million.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Right next to that is Ken Griffin's building. So it's
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: a really expensive neighborhood. And you got all kinds of
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: great restaurants. You've got Carnegie Hall is on the block.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: It's the most magnificent block now because it's right over there,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: a block from work. I walked that block all the time.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I never noticed this, But in the middle of these
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: super tall high rises, the most expensive buildings in the world,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: there's a couple of little buildings, you know, like those
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: brownstone kind of buildings, those walk up buildings. There's you know, five,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: four or five stories. There's a few of them left
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: in between some of those buildings. One of them has
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Angelo's Pizza in it, which is phenomenal. One of them
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: has like a little bodega, and I never looked up
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: at the second floor till I saw this article. But
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: if you look up at the second floor, there's an awning.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: It says fifty seven star beauty shop, one eleven West
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: fifty seventh Street. Well, big article in New York Post today.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: This could actually help him. It's could have hurt him,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: but it could help him. Apparently, this fifty seven star
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: beauty shop is now being targeted by the city. It's
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: a hot Asian lady brothel, Robert Kraft. Are you listening.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: An undercover officer went in there posing as a customer,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: and it says he was offered manual stimulation. Well, I
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: think I know what that is. That's what Robert Craft
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: was doing that. Let's call it manual stimulation. So I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: guess they went after the place. And the beauty shop
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: owner is an older Asian woman. She claims not to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: speak English and talks through an interpreter, but she insists
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: that they only do facials, massages, and head therapy. Well,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: so he was offered manual stimulation, but I don't know
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: if they do more. But hey, if that's what you're offered,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: remember that was that Robert Kraft got caught with that.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: If that's what it is, I don't mean to be naive,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: but can't you do that yourself at home? Why do
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: you have to go to this place and look at
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the pictures inside? You go up this seedy looking staircase
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: into this A nine to one one call first prompted
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the NYPD investigation. The owner denies the whole thing. Aparently
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: people in the building next door where they paid one
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million for their apartment, have been complaining
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: about it. One says it was somewhat of a little
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: known secret. Who knows. Maybe he got a few Robert
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Crafts in that building and don't mind having this thing there.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: But see what happens. Expect that thing to get closed
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: down pretty soon. So hey, Gavin Newsom got his first
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: big donor. You know, he's a colorful guy, He's quite
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: a personality. He's a real media expert, knows how to
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: play up the media, get a lot of attention, a
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: lot of FaceTime on television. But he wasn't really doing
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: anything with donations. But he got his first major one.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Read Hastings. Reid Hastings, who was a famous billionaire out
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: there in California. First one to get behind him and
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: has donated a million dollars. Hastings, a DEM mega donor
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: who backed Harris last time, is now bagging backing Newsom
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight million dollar donation. Now, just remember
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: there's a pattern here that we see all the time
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: and a lot of Democratic presidential races. If you go
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: two three years out, there's always a flashy, pretty boy
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: candidate who looks like he's gonna be the nominee. And
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: whoever that is always fails. He always fades away by
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the year of the election. It was John Edwards one year,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: it was Gary Hart one year. So it's Gavin Newsom
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: in that role. So these guys always fade out. And
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: also remember the big, big, big mega donors, the wealthy
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: mega donors, both parties are always wrong. Every time you
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: can check the history of this, people have actually charted
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: it out. Whoever the big mega donors get behind guaranteed loser.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Think Ron DeSantis, think we can go down the whole list.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: But so the fact that the mega donors are now
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: starting to back him means Newsom is finished. The polling
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: actually shows now it's way to doesn't mean anything. Twenty
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: twenty eight you're way, way, way too early year years away.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: It's too early to even think about it. So nothing
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: means anything now. But in the current polling, twenty five
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: percent of Democrats support Harris Newsom is at twelve little
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: less than half AOC and Pete Buddha Jedge are at nine. Now,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: this is what the Democratic Party or oh I forgot.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: President Trump Now saying democrats call them democrats. From now on,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: don't say democrats, say democrats. So the Democratic Party loves
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: these dumb people. They love AOC, they love Buddha Judge,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: and they all have something in common same thing with Newsom.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: They're people that they look good, they sound good, they
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: talk a good game, they're great on the Sunday shows,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: but they get nothing done in real life. In real
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: life they're the worst managers. They screw up anything they run.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: In the case of AOC, she's actually never actually run
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: anything ever. Hey, remember we're talking about those data centers,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you know, to run AI, to power AI and all
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: this stuff. You need these massive data centers, and whenever
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: they open one, people are treating it like a nuclear plant.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: All the residents start petitioning, protesting, going after the town hall.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: They want it stopped. Kevin O'Leary's trying to open a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: data center. They're blocking them. Well, there's one in Georgia.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: It's been open for a while. Residents are furious. You know,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: AI requires like a thousand times as much electricity as
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: regular internet stuff, so AI uses tons of electricity. In fact,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people think we don't even have
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: enough electricity in the future to even do enough AI.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: But this one data center, it's in Georgia, it's seven
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: million square feet. They're huge. It's a little town with
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the population of twenty thousand. But besides the electricity, apparently
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the data center guzzled up all their water. The data
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: center used up thirty million gallons of water. Thirty million,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: so much water that everybody in the town has almost
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: half the water pressure. They've got very very very weak
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: water pressure because of this data center. So they're trying
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to do something about it, but it's too late. It's
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: already there. It's owned by Blackstone, the big hedge fund,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: so good luck with that. But it's just it's going
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to be a problem. All this is gonna be worse
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: than nuclear plants. Many communities will say, forget that, give
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: me a nuclear plant or rather have that. Hey, we'll
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two one
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three two
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten
