  Speaker 2: It's obviously in Washington, and that means no Palm Beach

  Speaker 2: this weekend, because the last weekend he had stuff, he

  Speaker 2: a slight changing the schedule. I've just noticed. He will

• 1:43

  Speaker 2: RNC donor thing. So you old ladies in the ballroom
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: there at mar Lago, he may not get to you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: at dinner. He may he may not get back till later. Hey,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: speaking to which you know they always tell you how
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: bad things are for the Republicans in the midterm. It
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: really looks bad. Well, let me just give you the facts.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: When they show you the polls, Look how far down
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Trump is in the polls. Look how low Republicans are
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: in the polls. They keep showing you this. They never
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: show you the Democratic numbers because they're much lower than
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the Republicans. Democrats are now at the all time low
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: in the history of polling as far as favorability. So
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: as bad as it looks poll wise for Republicans in November,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: it looks ten times worse for Democrats in those same
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: exact polls. They just never give you those numbers. Now
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: here's the other thing right now, RNC money on hand,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: donations that they've got ready to go, one hundred million
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: for the midterms. They've got one hundred million in the
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: bank right now, ready to go. DNC Democrats seventeen million.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It's a big difference, huge difference in fundraising. Normally it's
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the opposite. Normally it's the Democrats to the kings of fundraising.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So Republican's doing much. But at this thing tonight where
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the President will come down there with all these donors,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: that'll be another twenty million that goes in there. So Iran,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: here's the We'll get to the White House correspondences and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: we'll go over that a little later. Iran. The latest
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: is we're in the middle of these deadlines. The talks
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: will continue straight of horn Moose the situation there is
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: nobody's going to be using it right now, which is
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: fine for us. We don't get anything out of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Straight of horn Moose. We don't need it, we don't
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: get any oil from it. It's all Europe now. Europe
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: is going crazy because they totally depend on the Straight
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: of horn Moose for oil and they've got some problems.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: They've only got like four or five weeks of jet
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: fuel left and then they're out, so all flight will stop.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: All airlines will have to stop in Europe in a
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks. If something that now, they could buy
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: it from US. They've been holding off on this, but
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: we produce more oil than Iran and Saudi Arabia combined.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: We got tons of oil with the biggest oil producer
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and exporter in the world. So these European nations will
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: have to start buying from US in the next couple
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: of weeks. The Strait of Hormouse is basically secured. The
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: US has hundreds of ships and destroyers and all sorts
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of navy there. Fifteen thousand sailors are there. We've got
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the whole thing secure now. The only problem is those
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: what they call mosquito boats. Those little speedboats. There's a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: lot of them, but they can come zooming out of
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: a cave on the shoreline at any point. We have
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: lots of stuff there, from ships to drones to aircraft
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that are ready if any of them appear. If any
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: of them appear, to shoot them immediately, just blow them
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to pieces. President has given the order yesterday's shoot to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: kill anything you see coming out of that shore, So
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: one by one we'll have to take them all out.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: The other problem is the mines that are down there.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: We've got very, very very sophisticated minds sweepers that we
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: didn't have before. They are working their butt. Apparently it's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: a slow process. It's a big area to cover and
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it could take weeks of mind sweeping to clear that up.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Here's the President on the straight.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: We have total.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Control of the strait, and the fact that it slows,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: you know, they would have opened it up.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Three days ago.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: They came to us and they said, we will agree
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: to open the straight, and all my people were happy.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Everybody's happy except me.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: I said, wait a minute, if we opened the strait,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: that means they're going to make five hundred million dollars
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: a day. I don't want them to make five hundred
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: million dollars a day until they settle this thing.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the truth is, we don't say it out loud.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: We didn't actually like to keep the Straight closed. It
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: totally bankrupts Iran and we don't need it for any oil.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: We don't use it, so we'd really like to keep
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it closed as long as possible. Now, when you watch
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the fake news, they'll keep telling you how Iran has
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: got us over a barrel. They have all the leverage.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: All they have to do is wait. They can wait
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: us out. Their will is greater than ours. There's nothing
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: more we can do. They can just outweaith us something.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: They're just trying to stall until the Democrats get back
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: in power. They like those Democrats because Democrats don't attack.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: In fact, the Democrats send them palettes of cash billions.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: So they're waiting for the Democrats. But you got to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: a minimum of a three year wait, or maybe they're
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: counting on the midterms, but you're not going to make
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: it till the midterms. Here's the real truth. They have
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: absolutely no income with the Straight closed. All their income,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: really about ninety eight percent of it comes from the Straight. Oh,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: hor moose. As long as that's closed, they are totally
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: cut off. Their whole economy is shut down. Now. It's
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: been like that for a couple of weeks, and they're
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: now starting to collapse. Their country is collapsing over it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Their currency is collapsing as a result, they're now into
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: triple digit food inflation. Triple digit food inflation, the currency
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: is collapsing. They've lost citizens in the wrack of lost
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: ninety percent of their purchasing power. They're losing about fourteen
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: billion a month in revenue. They've got some cash in
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the bank, they're trying to live off that. There is
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: a talk of US freezing their bank assets. It's something
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: we could do that and keeping an eye on their
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: big ally is China. Will China try to bail them
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: out cash wise, if they even were willing to do that,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: They're not going to do that for long. So as
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: long as the straits closed, Iran is in close to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: total economic collapse. Now, as long as they can't move
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that oil, they've run out of storage space. They got
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: no place to even store the oil, which means they
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: got to shut down all their oil fields, shut down
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: all drilling. Once you do that, you completely screw up
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the oil fields. If they stay shut for weeks and
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: weeks and weeks, they just dry up and get all
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: screwed up. It can take a year to get them
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: going again. So we have all the leverage right now.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about it. Now, this crazy mom Donnie, So
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: you have to understand the mentality of a mom Donnie.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: And these supporters, they're these crazy young victims. They went
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to Columbia, they went to Harvard, they went to all
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: these Ivy League places. They got indoctrinated into this crazy
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: socialist You could explain to them it's never worked. You
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: could show them, lay it all out for them, documented
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: where every time socialism has tried. They don't care about.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean anything to them. They just like to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: feel of it, the idea of it. It makes them
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: feel good. So there's no reality to this. And all
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of them, including mom Donnie, they've never run anything. They've
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: never been managers. They have no idea how you run it,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: and they don't care. So he stepped over a huge line.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: He crossed the line that no politicians should ever cross.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: This whole tax the rich, go after the billionaires. First
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of all, it's all a myth the rich pay ridiculous
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: amounts attack beyond anything they should be paying. You know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: if you're a wealthy guy in New York, you're paying
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: like fifty eight percent of your income in tax. That's ridiculous.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Would why would you be paying more than half your
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: income in tax? Also, they're paying billions and billions and
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: billions and billions. Remember they went after Elon Musk. Why
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't he pay his fair share? Let's see his tax returns. Well,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: he put them out. It turned out he paid more
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: tax than anybody in the history of the world in
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: one year. And one year he paid like fourteen billion
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: in taxes the all time. I mean, how much is enough?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Fourteen billion. So we got a very very wealthy guy
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: named Ken Griffin, worth a I'd say about fifty billion,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: lives in Chicago. He had a mayor in Chicago who's
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: one of these crazy nut job left wing woke socialist
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: nuts who went after him, started targeting him. So Griffin
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: not only moved to Miami, he left Chicago. He picked
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: he closed his businesses. He had massive businesses, commercial operations
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: in Chicago that were contributing billions to the economy. Moved
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: at all to Miami, which really screwed up the budget,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the income and the finances of Chicago. So this idiot
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Mamdani decides he'll target Ken Griffin. If you're the mayor
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: of New York, you can't pick out a private citizen
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: and target them by name and taunt them. It's unheard of.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: It's just a private citizen. I don't care how wealthy
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: is now. He lives in Miami, this Ken Griffin, but
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: he has his main apartment at Park Avenue, the most
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: prestigious building in New York seven to forty Park. That's incredible.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, only the top names of the world and
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: some of the most prestigious people have been turned down
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: by that co op board. It's the toughest building to
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: get into. Griffin has a something like a forty million
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: dollar apartment there, and the apartment next door came on
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the market for twenty million. He quickly bought it combined it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: That's a sixty million dollar, unbelievable apartment. You'd think that'd
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: be enough for a guy who doesn't even live here.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: But then when they built over there on the Central
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Park South, they built two twenty Central Park South and
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: that became now the most prestigious building in New York.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: So he bought the most expensive apartment there. Cost him
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: two hundred and forty million for an apartment and he
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't live here. It's basically a hotel room for when
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: he comes here. Two hundred and forty million. But it
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: sounds crazy, but these guys are business geniuses. They buy
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: this stuff because they realize it doesn't cost them anything.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: You could always sell it for a profit. It's not
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: it's like a it's like putting the money in the bank.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: He said, well, when why don't you just put the
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: money in the bank that is the bank. You know
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that forty million dollar apartment at Park Avenue. That's good.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: He's going to sell that for eighty million. So it's
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: not a waste of money. You're always going to make
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: a profit. It's smart business. So anyway, Mam Donnie decides
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: he'll target him because when he bought that two hundred
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: and forty million dollar apartments, the most expensive apartment in
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: New York. So this is this crazy pieta tear at
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: tax created by the way, by Andrew Cualmo. He's the
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: one that came up with this. Remember when he was governor.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: It was one insane thing after another from him. He
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: created this Pieta tear attacks. He couldn't get it passed,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: but so they're trying to get it passed. Now. Now
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: this apartment that Ken Griffin has, the tax on it
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: is I think it's a millionaire. Maybe it's three million
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: a year. So he's already paying a ton of tax.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: He's got massive business interests in New York, and Mam
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Donnie decides he'll target him. So Mam Donnie goes on television.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: In this case, in today's world, it's online TikTok, Instagram,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: so he's online with one of his videos outside of
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Ken Griffin's building. This is the Mayor of New York,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: not some crazy protest. He's pointing at the building naming
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Ken Griffin. You can't go after a private citizen like this.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: This pen house to catch one CEO Ken Griffin bought
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: for two hundred and thirty eight million dollars.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: This Pierre tear tax is specifically designed for the richest.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Of the rich.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it can't go You're mayor, you can't target and
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: try to harass a private citizen. It's unheard of. So
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: obviously Ken Griffin has every right to be met. He's
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: our biggest taxpayer. He's a very generous guy. This is
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: not a guy trying to avoid anything. In fact, the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: guy's given seven hundred million a year to charities in
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: New York. Seven hundred million a year. And we also
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: we know if a mayor goes after him, he'll pull out.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: He did that in Chicago. He had everybody pack up
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the whole business and move it to Miami. So he's
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: targeting this guy, and the guy's got a right to respond.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: You know, he's about to build a massive skyscraper at
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: fifty second and Park Avenue. It's going to be a
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: huge skyscraper. It'll take about five years to build. This
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: skyscraper will have six thousand highly paid construction jobs, and
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: then when it opens, fifteen thousand people will have jobs
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: in this building. He's creating this thing. Well, since this
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Mom Damie attack, he says, now we have to decide
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: if we should move forward. We might move it out
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: of New York. This would have been billions in tax revenue.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: In fact, it's believed that the Ken Griffin's activities business
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: activities in New York result in about three billion in taxes.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: So why if you're talking about you have a budget crunch.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: If you're talking about you have a deficit, why would
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: you chase away the guy who's your biggest taxpayer, who's
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: given you a three billion a year. It's absolutely ridiculous.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: It's insane. You know, Let's say you ran a restaurant
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: and you had a couple of guys that were your
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: at customers. You know, your good customer comes in and
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: spends two three hundred bucks. But these guys come in,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: they bring a ton of people, they order all these
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: fancy wines. Their checks are always fifteen thousand, eighteen thousand.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: They're the biggest customers you have. Why would you chase
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: them out of your restaurant? You should cater them. If
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: you're a mayor of New York, you should call Ken Griffin,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: invite him to lunch and say, understand, you're going to
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: build this building, create six thousand construction jobs than fifteen
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: thousand permanent jobs. What can the city do to help you?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: That's what every other mayor does.
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Of course they're also doing it because they want the
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: guy to write them some checks at campaign time donate.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: But if a guy's gonna do this, you're supposed to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: call them. Who you know. There was a great Andy Spanno.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I remember he was the County executive of West Yester
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: He was great at this. I used to talk about
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: this all the time. Anytime a business was opening in
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: a massive offices in west he'd call them up, County executive,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: let me meet with you. Is there anything we can
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: do for you? How can we help you open your business?
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Anytime they'd get a letter, we're looking at bringing our
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: business to way, he'd call him up. He'd meet with them.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: One time, he didn't even know who it was. He
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: went and he said, I'll meet you. I'll pick you
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: up at the airport and show you around. He did,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: he'd know who it was. Turned out it was Siemens
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: and they wanted to open like a three hundred million
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: dollar business in Westchester. I mean it was That's how
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: you got to You gotta take care of these people.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: These are your biggest customers. They pay for everything. And
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie did get a thank you note from Florida
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Senator Rick Scott who said thank you for driving people
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to Florida for cementing New York City's death spiral. He says,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: we're in Florida when you get your tax policies right.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: We see what happens the state starts booming revenue quadruple.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll take some calls in a moment. Eight
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: hundred three to two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten set up.

  Speaker 1: Re said on the iHeartRadio app to wor to hear

  Speaker 2: New Jersey. Sal, How you doing?
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark, Mark? When when mayem mom.
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: Donnie says he wants to tax the rich and go

  Speaker 8: after the rich, who's gonna end up hurting everybody because
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: the rich they're the ones that create the jobs.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I think we just didn't we just say that, yes, okay, thanks?
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: So uh.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: You know the other problem, I don't think he's ever
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: met with anybody, you know, the tax people. I don't
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: think mom Donnie ever sat down and it says, show
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: me where our taxes come from. I don't think he
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: knows that the top one percent pays forty percent of
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the tax in there. I don't think he's aware of
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: that let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike, I know.
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 18:04
  Speaker 11: Tom Dreason opened up for Sinatra. Uh was he the
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: only comedian who opened for him? And did Snatra have
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: other singers ever opened for him?
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Always a comedian. It was Pat Henry for millions of years,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: a couple of decades, and then uh, this was his name.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: After pat Henry was going, it was Jackie Gaylee for
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: a while. Then it was Tom Dreesen, who is a
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: great guy, the nicest guy in the world. He maybe
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: that may not be the top comedian in the world,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: but he's a nice guy. And a wife.
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he's a good would only be Vegas, so it
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: would be no, whenever he toured, he'd bring those guys along.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: No, you tour all over the world with him. And
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: the wife loved Tom Dreesen. That's one reason Sinatra kept him.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: He kept the wife busy. And then, uh, he did
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: have a singer for a little while. There was a
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: cash crunch at one time and Sinatra didn't have the
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: private jets. So remember for a year or two he
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: is at or I was the opening act and that.
• 19:01
  Speaker 11: Was Oh I got that.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: That was because the husband lent two private jets to
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: the tour. So, but it's a good question. Thanks for calling.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Rich and Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing?
• 19:15
  Speaker 11: Hey? Thanks? Speaking of Sinatra, my wife and I swore him.
• 19:18
  Speaker 11: I guess it was maybe your early nineties, late eighties.
• 19:21
  Speaker 11: He was a Jones Beach a couple of times. He
• 19:23
  Speaker 11: had Don Rickles open up for him several times.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Well, well, actually that wasn't an opening act. Don Rickles
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: was co builled with him. They were both on the
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: bill together.
• 19:31
  Speaker 11: That was a Oh that was That was a couple
• 19:34
  Speaker 11: of great shows that Jones pacher. Yeah, hey, can this
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: guy that Manbani is targeting? Can he sue Mandanni personally?
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: He could, but that's not you know, you're worth fifty billion,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: you're going to sue this little weasel. No, you don't
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: have to sue.
• 19:50
  Speaker 11: Just taking your money and running.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean if you sued, what would you
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: get money? I mean, he doesn't need the money.
• 19:57
  Speaker 11: But you just pick up one way this thing Mark.
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: You know, do we know how much mom Donnie was
• 20:02
  Speaker 11: worth when he came into office. We're we going to
• 20:04
  Speaker 11: keep track of how he's going to like quadruple his
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: worth when he leaves office, just like all these other socialists.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: He's from a very wealthy family. He's well off. He
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: doesn't need any money. And I don't think you have
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: to worry about him profiting in office. He's not that bright.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think you could figure out how to do it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 11: Thanks Mark.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: He's probably the only politician will be worth less money
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: when he leaves. Let's go to Neil in Brooklyn. Neil,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: how you doing all right?
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Mark.
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: Someone brought up Gary Content the other day. Yeah, and
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: nine to eleven kept him out at the newspapers.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know that.
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: Also, Dan Rada benefited because there was a count going
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: on how many nights in a row. Dan rather would
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: not mention the story. And one of the reasons was
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: his daughter worked for Gary Content, So it's nine to
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: eleven saved him too in a way.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, a good point.
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: It was back in two thousand and one. This would
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: have been in the summer. There was two major scandals.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: One was Gary Condent, who was he was a congressman
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: having an affair with a young intern was the name
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Chandra Levy. They were having an affair and then she
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: turned up dead in a field near his house, so
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: he was the chief suspect. It turned out wasn't the
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: guy that did it. Somebody else did it. But he
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: was all over the news twenty four to seven. It
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: was the biggest story. He was in the middle of
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the worst scandal imaginable. It would never go away. Then
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: nine to eleven happened and he was never mentioned again.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: So as awful as nine to eleven was for this guy,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: it was a dream come true that it got him
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: out of the news. But there were three scandals. There
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: was you remember there. It was a Little League Baseball
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: World Championship and one of the players who was supposed
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: to be fourteen turned out he was like twenty three.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: That was another big scandal, got wiped out by nine
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: to eleven, and I forgot about that Dan Rather thing.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: You know, he was really the father of modern day
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: fake news with the fake George Boyce going a Walls story,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: and yeah, he had a connection to Gary Condent. It
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: was the biggest story in the news, and he wouldn't
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: mention it on the news. He wouldn't even do the story.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: So and everybody started to notice, and he was getting
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of talk again nine to eleven, erased the
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: whole thing. Hey, when we come back, the brilliant economist,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: the best business writer, John Karney, he'll be with us. Next,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: we'll talk about the FED, we'll talk about Iran. We'll

• 23:09
  Speaker 2: John Carney, how you doing very good?
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: It's been an interesting week in interesting morning so far.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Mark, Yeah, Well, so what's going on this morning?
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: Well, the latest news is that Janine Pierro, who is
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: the US Attorney for the District of Columbia announced that
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: she is dropping her investigation into Jerome Powell and the
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: Federal Reserve. Yeah, this is a big deal because that's
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: what was holding up Kevin worsh She's the guy that
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: Trump has dominated to be the successor for Jerome Powell.
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: Senator Tom Tilsm North Carolina had said he would not
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: vote to confirm Warsh as long as the investigation was ongoing.
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: Piero had dug in and said she wasn't going to
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: drop the investigation, and now she says she will. But
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: we're not sure if that'll satisfy kill ushit because she
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: says she could reopen it later she wants, and Tillis
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: and Powell have said they think it needs to be
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: dropped once in parole. So we'll see whether this is
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: you know, this changes anything. Maybe it does. It gives
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: everybody a way to sort of step away from this fight.
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: Powell's term ens on May fifteenth, that's just twenty one
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: days from now. Yeah, so you know, something had to
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: give at some point, and it looks like Pierro is
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: going to at least suspend her investigation while the Inspector
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: General's Office looks into it. So it's still going to
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: be investigated, but it's no longer going to be investigated
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: by the Justice Department.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that makes sense. I would take Powell's name
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: off it. It's about the new FED building. Donald Trump's
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: a world expert on what construction costs are. He looked
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: at building over said this is like eight hundred million.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: They spent two three billion. But just investigate the project,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: see where that extra money went.
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and I think that's what they're gonna do. I've
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: said before that I thought the Senate or the House,
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: both of them have oversight of the FED, should also
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: conduct an investigation. They should hold hearings. It does look
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: like there was huge cost overruns. Now, look, some of
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: this is that they were unlucky, like the rest of us,
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: to have to live through Biden inflation. So if you
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: planned out building something in twenty nineteen and then prices
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: went up, you know, the worst inflation in forty years
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: in twenty twenty two, you know, is that your fault?
• 25:44
  Speaker 11: You know?
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: Maybe not so, maybe some of the cost overruns were
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: just bidenflation. Blame Joe Biden. But as you said, Donald
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: Trump is a you know, he's got a lot of
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: experience in this area, and he looked at it and said,
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: this doesn't make sense to me. It needs to be
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: looked at.
• 25:58
  Speaker 11: So I'm glad that.
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: They are continuing to investigate it, maybe taking it out
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: of the Justice Department so it's no longer framed as
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: a criminal investigation. Maybe that'll allow everybody to cool down
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: a little. And the main important thing is getting President
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: Trump's nominee Kevin Walsh confirmed. This may clear the path
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: to allow that to happen.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, John Conney. Let's say we get Kevin
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Walsh confirmed he's the new FED chair. Does Powell step down?
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Then he's threatened not to, So what do you think
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: will happen?
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so that's another question. So Powell's term is chair
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: ends May fifteenth, but all chairs are also governors, and
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: his governorship lasts until twenty twenty eight, so he could
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: potentially stay in the office for a few more years.
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: That has only happened once back in nineteen forty eight,
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: when one chairman stayed on. Every other chairman when their
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: term is chair runs out, they step aside because they
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: don't want to inter with the new chairman's ability to
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: get the job done. Powell said maybe he won't do that,
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: He said, he definitely wouldn't do it as long as
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: the investigation continued. He hasn't said whether he'll step down
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: from if the investigation is dropped. He left that an
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: open question. A lot of people think it would be
• 27:19
  Speaker 9: very irresponsible for him to stay on. It would be
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: destabilizing to monetary policy. People would not know, you know,
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: do we listen to Powell the old chairman, or do
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: we listen to the new chairman? Is Powell still running
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: the committee even if worsh is the ostensible chairman of it?
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: I think if Powell really does care about the institution
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: of the FED, he'll see the wisdom in stepping down.
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: But he's taken this entire investigation very personally, so it
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: may cloud his judgment here.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So will he go down as the Joe Biden?
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: A FED chairman, annoying, irritating, sort of a guy who
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: did things you should Yeah.
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: I think I think he really he had the potential
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: to have had a really good reputation as FED chair
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: He did some things that were pretty good at the FED.
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: He for instance, he held back the people who wanted
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: the FED to get involved in climate change politics. He
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: said that's not our job. We're not going to do that.
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: But they messed up right after the pandemic was starting
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: to end and Biden was pouring billions of dollars into
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: the economy and in Place was starting to take off.
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: That's when the Fed should have said, Okay, we need
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: to raise interest rates in order to combat the inflationary effect.
• 28:39
  Speaker 11: Of all this.
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: Instead, they kept interest rates really low and told everybody
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: inflation was going to go away any minute now. It didn't,
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: and it just got worse for a year and a half.
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: That's going to be his reputation. And then adding on
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: to this this sort of I would say petty fights
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: with the president. You know, the President picks on Powell,
• 29:00
  Speaker 9: and presidents have picked on FED chairman before. Typically the
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: FED chairman try to stay out of politics. They'd let
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: the politicians bad mouth them. Powell just couldn't do that,
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: and so he you know, he put up a video
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: accusing Trump of having organized the impiro's investigation with no
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: evidence of that at all.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they speaking of that kind of stuff as crazy
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: mayor of ours, mom, Donnie may have crossed a big line.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: He's targeting specifically a private citizen. Ken Griffin. He did
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: a video in front of Ken Griffin's apartment pointing at it.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: These kind of democrats when it comes to tax the
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: rich and all that, they always screaming that. Don't they
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: realize guys, Ken griff these are your biggest customers. These
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: guys give you more money than anybody. Or are you
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: supposed to call them and say, hey, is there anything
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: we can do to help you build this new six
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: billion dollar building camp What do they think is going
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: to happen if they go after these billionaires?
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, look, it's a huge mistake. Even just this
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: building was go to provide a lot of construction jobs,
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: a lot of work just as it was being built.
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: Forget about you know all the people who are going
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: to be employed to work for Citadel, Ken Griffin's firm
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: in that building. That's what that's long term employment. But
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: you know this will call if they if Citadel pulls out,
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: which they may do because the mayor has announced its
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: hospital territory. The attack Hen Griffon not for anything Hen
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: Griffin has done, but because Ken Griffin owns a you know,
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: one of the most expensive apartments in New York City,
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: a penthouse that went you know, I think reportedly bought
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: for two hundred and thirty million dollars. It's outrageous that
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: the mayor treats that as a as some sort of crime.
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: You know, Griffin did nothing wrong. The mayor made an
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: example out of him. Threat is saying he's that we're
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: raising taxes on those people. Raising taxes is one thing
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: people you know, can get their heads around. That Actually
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: targeting wealthy individual homeowners, I think is a step too far,
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: and it's going to make a lot of people say,
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: maybe I shouldn't be working in New York City. I
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: definitely shouldn't be buying expensive real estate in New York City,
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: and I probably shouldn't be opening any offices.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: In New York.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: It all started with this pieta tear at tax, which
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: was created by Andrew Cuomo. This was his idea, why
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: would you get mad at somebody who buys an apartment
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: doesn't live here. If they don't live here, they're not
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: going to use any services. It's like a business. You know,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: a guy buys a big three hundred dollars gift card
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: and then never uses it. That's your dream customer. Why
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: would you get mad at?
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah?
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no, that's right, And a lot of these a
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: lot of these buildings people are are from people who
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: actually spend money in the city, even if they don't
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: live there, So they're not using a lot of the
• 31:52
  Speaker 9: services of the city. Their kids aren't in school there,
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: so it's not a tax on the school system. They're
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: not on mass transportation. They're not calling the city's budget
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: very much, but they're contributing to it through their taxes.
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: And then they're contributing to the city's economists economy when
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: they eat out some dinner, when they take a taxi somewhere.
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: So the idea of going after them never really made
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: much sense. I think you know. The reason why they
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: do it is the same reason bank robbers rob banks,
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: because that's where the money is.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, we only have a little less than a
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: minute left Iran. If it's all cleaned up and settled
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: within a let's say two months from now, the economy
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: will be pretty good by the end of the summer,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: won't it.
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: Absolutely. Look, we're actually seeing signs that the economy is
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: pretty good right now. We got retail spending numbers for March.
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: Those were fantastic. Consumers may be grumbling when it comes
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: when they're asked about how the economy is doing, but
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: they are still spending money. The ADP, we don't next week,
• 32:56
  Speaker 9: we'll get the week after next. Actually we get the
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: government's official jobs numbers, but ADP for five weeks in
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: a row says private payrolls have been growing and on
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: average over the last four weeks they are adding fifty
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: thousand jobs. That's a lot. So the county is doing
• 33:13
  Speaker 9: really well. If the Iran war goes away and oil
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: prices and gas prices come downtown, this is going to
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: be a boom summer for the economy.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 33:21

• 34:32
  Speaker 2: the Gates Foundation, the Gates Foundation giving away billions. Well,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: they're about to cut twenty percent of their staff. They're
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: laying off five hundred people. That's a lot of people
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: having a foundation. But it's a multi, multi multi billion
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: dollar foundation. Five hundred jobs, twenty percent of its staff.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: There's an external review. Apparently a lot of it has
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: to do with its engagement with Jeffrey. You know, Bill Gates,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: this noble, honorable, beloved billionaire now's reputation ruined there. He
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: was hanging out for hours and laid into the night
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: at Epstein's house. Nobody more implicated or tangled up with
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Epstein than Bill Gates and now it's affecting his foundation.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Massive layoffs about to take place. Hey, we'll stop for

• 35:55
  Speaker 2: noon every day, or you can listen anytime. Just get
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: the podcast wherever you get your podcasts back right after
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: the news on seven to ten, w here's.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: More Marks alone.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: On seventeen woor oh, Hey it's Friday. That's the good news.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a beautiful day. It's gonna rain all
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: day tomorrow and be okay on Sunday. So for all
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: of our lives who've been terrified of a war with
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: the Soviet Union or Russia, you know, you'd see that
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: they would do those parades in Moscow with the with
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: the military, these gleaming white tanks and these soldiers the
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: way they would march with their you know, like rockets.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: They're kicking their feet up in the air. The incredible
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Russian army, superpower, Russia, their army, boy, you could never
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: tangle them. War with Russia be unthinkable. Then we see
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: them in the Ukraine. They're not very good at all.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: They're not much of an army at all. In fact,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: little ragtag Ukraine Army is able to fend them off
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: for five years without blinking. This Russian army is a disaster.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Their weapons stink, they don't even have night vision. Their
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: troops stink. They don't even know how to fight in formation.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: They don't even have commanders on the field. And most
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: of the troops are just you know, draftees, just drunken
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: twenty two year olds. They're a disaster there army. And
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: then for a long time, when you know, all these
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: decades now, Iran has been the biggest troublemaker in the
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Middle East. They're the ones that financed Hamas and Hezbollah
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: and the hooties. They're the terrorists launching all this terrorist
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: crap all over the Middle East, all over the world.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: They're the most feared thing in the Middle East, Iran,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: And it was thought for many, many years, well, I can't.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: You can't go to war with Iran. I mean you
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: can you know, you can fight Sadam Hussein maybe, but
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: not you know, Iran. You can't. Thank oh if Iran
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: ever got into it, Well, we actually went to war
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: with Iran. Turns out they don't have much of anything.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: In fact, the first day we wiped out their whole
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: leadership with one shot, all forty one leaders We took
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: out everything they have. We completely took out their air
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: force in two seconds. We took out their navy in
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: five seconds. We took out all their offensive capability. I mean,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: they really have nothing. It was nothing to take out
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I ran. It took a second. Now they still don't
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: give in, even though you've completely eliminated their entire military.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: They go to asymmetrical warfare, little terrorist warfare. They got
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: a stockpile of drones left, and they got a few
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: missiles left, but that's nothing for us to handle. So
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: it was nothing. It was absolutely nothing. Now they won't
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: give up again. It's like Vietnam. They got much of
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: an army. It's a little bunch of ragtag people that
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: you know, fight in the jungle in the middle of
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: the night, but they never give up. They don't give up.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: That's the problem with Iran. But we'll take care of it.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: We've shut down their economy completely. They have absolutely no income,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: so it's just a matter of weeks before they're completely
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: out of money. People are starving and it'll just go crazy.
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: So but.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: If you're the fake news, if you're these Trump hating reporters,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: they just hate Trump so much that they try to
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: convince you everything is wrong. He went in with no
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: plan at all. There was no plan, and it's the
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: single most planned war in the history of the world.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: This Iran battle plan has been worked on by the
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Pentagon for over forty years. They've been tweaking it and
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: retweaking it. That's why in the first day we took
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: out everything. Basically, it was the most planned war in history.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: It's dragging on forever, and it's going to be the
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: shortest war in the history of the world. This will
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: be a two three month war. That'll be it. There's
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: nothing to worry about. But if you're the fake news,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: you got to attack the president. I got to make
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: it look like this is the worst situation ever. So
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: this one reporter, yes, they're going through, how well everything
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: is going. So this one report just trying to cause
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: trouble for Trump, asks him, are you going to use
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: nuclear weapons in Iran? Will you use the nuclear button?
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: It's the dumbest question I've ever heard. It is the
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: stupidest question ever, And it's insane to even ask the question.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: So if it were Reagan, he'd be very folksy and
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: he'd say, where, I don't think. If we're Bill Clinton,
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: these are professional politicians, he would say, well, well, I
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: want don't think we won't have to. But it's President
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Trump who's basically more Don Rickles than he is professional politician.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: So this reporter asked this ridiculous question, are you going
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: to use the nuclear bomb? Trump responds, why would a
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: stupid question like that be asked?
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Why would I? Why would I use a nuclear weapon?
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: We've totally, in a very conventional way decimated them without it.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Now I wouldn't use it.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: by anybody.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. See, if you're a professional politician, go well, well don't.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Then when you get backstage or the door is closed,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: you go, what a stupid question? Why the hell they
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: ask it? But if you're President Trump, you're real. You
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: say what you really think. You don't wait till you
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: get off camera, right in front of everybody.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Why would a stupid question like that be asked?
• 41:14
  Speaker 11: Do you know?
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Why would I? Why would I use a nuclear weapon?
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: And he's right, just make him feel bad. What a
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: stupid question to use, Absolutely ridiculous. So they don't know
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: what to do, they don't know how to attack them.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Oil prices, well, look what you've done to oil? Why
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: this is killing everything? It's not killing everybody. I mean,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: it's not good to have the oil prices go up.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: But think about this for a second. President Trump goes
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: to war with a major oil producer, shuts down the
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: strait of horn Moose, the major oil place of the war.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: The whole thing is and we still haven't even gotten
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: close to Joe Biden oil prices. With all of this,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: I've been a little rise in oil, but it's nowhere
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: near it's nothing near Joe Biden prices and oil remember
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: o'biden up to five dollars a gallon at the pump,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: So it's going pretty well. Hey, the White House Correspondents
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Dinners tomorrow night, and if you want to watch it,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: the best way to watch it is Jimmy Fayla will
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: be hosting on the Fox News Channel from nine to midnight,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: so you'll see President Trump's speech. Jimmy Fayala will be
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: there at the White House Correspondence senter. Hey, remember he
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: was on the show with us yesterday and he said
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: he was going to go to the White House to
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: do They're going to shoot some video to use on
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Saturday night. And he said he wasn't scheduled to meet
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: with the president. I said, President Trump knows everything going on.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: He'll know you're in the building. You'll be brought into
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: the Oval Office. He said, I don't think so. Check
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: out his instagram. Here he is in the Oval Office,
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: President Trump greeting him personally. It's a great picture. Jimmy
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Faylo's Instagram. Hey, check out my instagram. A lot of
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: great pictures there, including Buck Sexton had his book party.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: He's got an excellent book out, great new book called
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Manufacturing to Loge big book party, Doctor Gerson's massive apartment.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: We had it there. A lot of people there, Miranda
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Divine and a lot of Fox News people, a lot
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: of I'm trying to remember who else, lot of good
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: friends and family of a Buck Sexton. Excellent party. But
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: his new book is Manufacturing Delusion. It's a great book.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer going nuts. It's funny. He was.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: If you go back to the old videos twenty years ago,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: he was yelling and screaming to secure the border. He
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: wanted ice everywhere. Remember in the Obama days, Ice was
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: everywhere arresting illegals, and they had a guy, you know who.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Obama's guy was in charge of ICE, Tom Holman, and
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: he arrested so many illegals and deported so many people
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: that Obama gave him the Medal of Freedom. And Schumer
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: is cheering, Well, these are just cheap, pandering politicians. Whatever
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: way the wind is blowing. So now, if you're a Democrat,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: it pays to be anti ice. Soor Schumer is pretending
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: to be anti Ice. He's not anything. He has no beliefs,
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: no principles of any kind. His whole business is donor service.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Donors make big contributions. He does favors for them all
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: day and night. This is all he does. But when
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: the camera's there. He's pandering, he's yelling and screaming. He
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: went stepped over a line. He got a little too
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: insulting about ICE. Nobody likes ICE, No, everybody hates that.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: It was such a.
• 44:29
  Speaker 12: Silly adding one hundred and forty billion dollars to an
• 44:33
  Speaker 12: agency that nobody to two two two groups Border Patrol
• 44:38
  Speaker 12: and ICE that nobody respects in this country.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: What an idiot, What a complete idiot. There are so
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: many people. Any survey the majority of Americans want ICE
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: to do their job. So you got Mark, Wayne Mullen
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: other people having to respond to this idiot Shumer.
• 44:56
  Speaker 13: The definition of a line scumbag politician, that is you.
• 44:59
  Speaker 13: You would be the definition if you googled you right now.
• 45:02
  Speaker 13: I mean, why don't you just come out and be
• 45:03
  Speaker 13: honest with American people. He wants to have open borders.
• 45:06
  Speaker 13: If you want to defind the Customer Border Protection Agency,
• 45:10
  Speaker 13: if you want to defind ICE who is in there
• 45:13
  Speaker 13: arresting the criminals. That the walls were passed by you.
• 45:17
  Speaker 13: You had time to change those during the Biden administration.
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: You didn't.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so hey, do you hear it this? You know,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: the polymarket is the big thing. These online betting markets.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: You make these bets, and some of them are for
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: big money. You bet on anything you bet on. No,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: it's not a sports You could bet on when they ran,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: war is going to be over. You can bet on
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: how long will President Trump speak at the White House
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: correspondence there, political stuff anything, foreign policy stuff. So remember
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: we rated Venezuela, we captured Maduro in the middle of
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: the night. Well, some people bet. In fact, one guy
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: bet on exactly when it would happen and he made
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: about half a million bucks. Well, it turns out he
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: was a government insider. He was working on that operation,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: used his inside knowledge to place a bet. So now
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: he's in big trouble. The President talking about it.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: That's like Peter Rose betting on his own teams. And
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: it's a little like Pete Rose.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: Pete Rose, he kept him out of the Hall of
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: Fame because he bet on his own team.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Now, if he bet against his team, that would be
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: no good. But he better on his own team. I'll
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: look into it.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So this poly market, some people make a lot
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: of money. Now I've had actual poly market betters contact
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: right to me because they've made a lot of money
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: listening to this show. A lot of times we tell
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: you something's going to happen and we give you like
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: an inside tip. There was one. Remember when Israel was
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: going to ray to a bombing rate on I Ran.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: We told you like two nights before when it would happen,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: the bombing of the nuclear reactions. We told you what
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: night that was. So some people making a lot of
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: money just using the information from this show to make
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: these bets. I've had some of them contact. He's like,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: I'll pay you extra to tell me before it goes
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: on there. No, I can't do that. Can't do that. Hey,
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie's got another problem besides this Ken Griffin backlash.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: You know, the East Village is a strange place. It's different.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: You know, the village used to be the kind of radical. Yeah,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: the village goes a lot of zillionaires are living in
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: the village has been much more civilized. It's the East
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: Village that's crazy and kooky and left wing. The East Village, Boy,
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: that neighborhood really turned out from Mom Donnie. They voted
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: for Mom Donni like crazy boy did they support him? Well?
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Now the East Village hates him. The East Village is
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: rebelling against him because he wants to put the homeless
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: men's shelter in the East Village. He's picked that location.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: There's a building there. So the whole East Village is crazy, angry,
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: screaming at him. You see these crazy socialists. They yell
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: and scream. They want this stuff, but they don't want
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: it next door. They don't want it in their neighborhood.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: So they're all mad at him. Nobody happy there. Now,
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: let's get to the Hampton's. It's a little like Beverly Hills.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing. You got a lot of very
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: wealthy people with nothing to do all day, you know,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Kardashian type. I mean these people in Beverly Hills that
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: are like CEOs, they're working eighteen hour days. But you
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: got these especially these women, real housewife types. You know,
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: idiots don't have a job, don't do anything, and they
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: get caught up in these ridiculous fads and trends. And
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: it started. You remember years ago, if you wanted coffee,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: you just went and got a cup of coffee. You
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: wanted black, or you want cream and sugar, that was it.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: You want decaff or that was it. Then Starbucks comes
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: along and all of a sudden, it's not just coffee.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: It's a coconut mocha, caramel, triple, this, something that. And
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: then when you come up with all these drinks, instead
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: of two dollars for coffee, it's eight dollars, it's twelve dollars.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: So now paying a fortune for coffee. I see these
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: people come in with these Starbucks cups, you know they
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: this one got a twelve dollars cup of coffee right
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: down the hall. Here we got eighteen coffee machines in
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: that kitchen, and it's free. You're wasting a lot of money.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: So the new thing now, that happened years ago and
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: that became a permanent part of our world. The new
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: thing now is smoothies. That's been around for a while.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: You'd always get a smoothie. It's eight dollars, it's nine,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: it's ten dollars. Maybe maybe it's twelve, all these smoothies.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: So it started in Beverly Hills, this chain called Airwin.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: These are really special smoothies. This is like the Starbucks
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: of smoothies. They got stuff in these smoothies. They got
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: eccheoberry berries or the things you never heard of. Who
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: the hell knows what they are. But the smoothies are
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: now thirty dollars, thirty five dollars, forty dollars for smoothie
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: and Airwan. This big chain in California. They just opened
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: one in Beverly Hills. You can't get in there. There's
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: lines around the block day and night. Well, now there's
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: another chain. It's called sunlighte Organics. They make these very
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: special smoothies. They start at thirty five bucks and they
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: could go up to sixty five bucks for this. Well,
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: they're same thing, lines around them. So they're opening in
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: the Hamptons Sag Harbor. In fact, there's a beloved little
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: mom and pop place going out of business. They're taken
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: over and they're going to be This will be the
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: big thing. You can hear about this all summer, these
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: forty five dollars smoothies that everybody's going crazy over. It
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: has a cult following online. Kate Hudson, Kendall Jenner pushing them.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: They're very big on Instagram. They call it the billion
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: dollars Smoothie, and they got all kinds of ridiculous prices
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: on it. But it says, now you're saying, what the
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: hell am I paying all that. Well, listen to this.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: They have go chie berries in them. They have lotus pollen. Now,
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: nobody knows what the hell this is. It could just
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: be just absolute nothing junk. But it sounds good. Goji berries,
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: lotus pollen. That sounds very impressive. It has a prebiotic
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: GLP one booster in it. But they line up for miles.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: They don't know what the hell it is. They have
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: no clue what it does for them. Anyway, we'll take
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: some calls next eight hundred three to two one zero
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: seven ten. That's the number. Eight hundred three two one
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: If you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio app, save
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: time and tap the preset button now. Now go back
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: to the Mark Zimon Show on woor Hey.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: seven ten. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you doing?
• 51:48
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark, I'm doing very well. Thank you, Mark.
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: This doesn't sound right. Governor Kathy Hochel and former President
• 51:55
  Speaker 9: Obama are both looking for support from Mara Mundami.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Well, Obama just lost his big zillion dollar Netflix deal.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: He's trying to start his own production company. He's trying
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: to become much more relevant than he was. So he's
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: all over Mom, Donnie, he's all over hokel appearing with them.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: I think he's like letting everybody know I'm close to them.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: You need anything, you come through me. His guy Axelrod
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: was meeting with the Pope. I think he's just trying
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: to establish himself as the guy you go to if
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: you want to get anything done. A good question, Dave.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: You know that's what Bill Clinton did for years, and
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: then every billionaire in the world would show up and
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: pay a fortune to Bill Clinton or donate to that
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: crazy foundation of his in exchange for Bill Clinton coming
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: with you to take you to see any world leader,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: any leader in America to get you whatever deal you needed.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim, how you doing.
• 52:57
  Speaker 14: Look, I'm good, Mark Show and.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: Really orbiting the moon? What kind of connection is that?
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, okay, okay, yeah no, but go ahead, Okay.
• 53:11
  Speaker 14: I'm just wondering. July four, two two six. I hope
• 53:18
  Speaker 14: you're up on the dais up there with President Trump
• 53:20
  Speaker 14: to talk about all that's great and all the things
• 53:26
  Speaker 14: that are being exposed here in these months leading.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Up to well, I don't think they're having a dayist.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: But July fourth weekend, it's the two hundred and fiftieth
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: birthday of America, and a million events will take place
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: all over Washington, DC. Very tough on you know here
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: in New York. Well you take that Hamptons for instance. Ooh,
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: the big Fourth of July parties, but all the big
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: names may maybe in Washington, there's going to be it's
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: actually like a month of events. But the July fourth
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: weekend there'll be a billion events. Fourth of July, one
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth birthday of America. Now, this is going
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: to be a rough time for your Democratic friends. You
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: remember that they don't like the fourth of July. It's
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: not a good day for them. You know, for us,
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: it's a holiday. It's fireworks, it's hot dogs, it's picnics.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: They don't like any of this flags waving. Every Democrats hate.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: This great day for Democrats is April fifteenth. That's their
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: big holiday. Everybody's got to pay their taxes. Fourth of July.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: They can't stand. Let's go to Bob in Connecticut. Bob,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: how you doing, Mark.
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: It's Corrupticut. They changed the name. It's not Connecticut anymore,
• 54:35
  Speaker 8: it's script.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Getting Well, you've always been kind of corrupt there. You
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: had like six mayors of Bridgeport go to jail, Twelve
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: mayors of Waterbury have gone to jail. You've had like
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: two governors go to.
• 54:46
  Speaker 8: Jail, going to jail from New Haven. But anyway, I
• 54:51
  Speaker 8: got two business models for you. One to take care
• 54:55
  Speaker 8: of the strait of r hummus and one to get
• 54:59
  Speaker 8: rid of the illegal problem. The hummus problem. We do
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: cruise ships on the street, and you have Barrett fifties.
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: So when the little spider boats or flea boats or
• 55:14
  Speaker 8: whatever talking.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: About Okay, great, that's the hell of a plan, thank you.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 55:20
  Speaker 8: The other the other, no, that Actually, you make a
• 55:24
  Speaker 8: lot of money to do it.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Cool early to be drinking, isn't it now?
• 55:28
  Speaker 8: It's like fine, I forgot.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: It's connecticutte you're at the country club there.
• 55:34
  Speaker 8: Okay. Now for the illegals, we do illegal roundups and
• 55:39
  Speaker 8: do it like the old cattle drives. There you go,
• 55:41
  Speaker 8: they walked in, they can walk out.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Well, all right, this has been a hell of a
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: phone call. Foster Brooks. Foster Brooks checking in from Connecticut here. Anyway,
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling. Let's go to h Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: How you doing.
• 55:57
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Mara Marks. Thinking about the
• 56:01
  Speaker 7: Russia Ukraine War, the United States has actually learned some
• 56:07
  Speaker 7: things or two from the Ukrainian military. As you pointed out,
• 56:12
  Speaker 7: we're spending a million dollars per missile to knock out
• 56:16
  Speaker 7: these cheesy drones that Ran keep sending over and Ukrainians
• 56:24
  Speaker 7: are using these. They cost like five thousand dollars these drones,
• 56:28
  Speaker 7: and what it does is they send them up and
• 56:30
  Speaker 7: it fouls up the propulsion of the missiles or the
• 56:33
  Speaker 7: incoming drone. Also, they're using robotic machine guns on these
• 56:38
  Speaker 7: robot cards. And now they even had it in the
• 56:41
  Speaker 7: post the other day, a war dog. It's actually a
• 56:45
  Speaker 7: robotic dog that they use it.
• 56:47
  Speaker 14: Mark.
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: Yesterday we spoke about the fact that all the crime
• 56:53
  Speaker 7: in the city and everything, and in the post there
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: was an article about that poor woman whose son jd
• 57:00
  Speaker 7: in Wor It's murdered, and queens and Mandami didn't even
• 57:03
  Speaker 7: go visit the mother and the people out there and
• 57:06
  Speaker 7: address the issue. But on the lower part of the
• 57:09
  Speaker 7: page there was this woman who lives in the projects,
• 57:12
  Speaker 7: and she was saying, forget about all this green nonsense
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: in the city. Come and repair the night your apartments.
• 57:20
  Speaker 7: The night apartments are in disrepair. Instead of spending you know,
• 57:25
  Speaker 7: two hundred million dollars ripping up Fifth Avenue in front
• 57:29
  Speaker 7: of the same pats and building these greenways all the
• 57:33
  Speaker 7: way up to hallm for bicycles, she was saying, spend
• 57:37
  Speaker 7: that money repairing the night your apartments, which obviously are
• 57:43
  Speaker 7: in disrepair.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: A very good point, Vincent, excellent point, Thanks for calling.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: You gotta remember one thing about government. When they do it,
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: it's going to be the worst it's ever done. You know,
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: just remember this before you get to the governor government
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: grocery store, which you'll never see. But when they talk
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: about the slums, the slumlords, the conditions, then they say
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: we'll build housing projects, government housing projects. They're the worst
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: slum lords of all. They got the worst conditions of anybody.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: Nothing is worse than the way they run these government
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: housing projects. And watch you've seen some Yeah there's a
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: lot of great supermarkets, but you've probably seen some pretty bad,
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: pretty rundown supermarkets before. Well, wait, you see these government supermarkets.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: You were going to see the dirtiest, filthiest, most awful,
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: horribly wrung grocery stores you've ever seen. You know, if
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: a professional grocery chain opens a grocery store in Manhattan,
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: they say it costs about two million bucks. Mom, Donnie's
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: first grocery store will be thirty million, thirty million total
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: waste of money. It's going to be the dumpiest thing
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: you've ever seen. And that's just the way the government
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: does things. So hey, when we come back, the great
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: uh columnist Steve Cuzoh, there's nobody better on the subject
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: of restaurants, on the subject of real estate. Actually, he
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: just did a whole study of the government run grocery
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: store and he just came back from Florida. So if
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: you're thinking life is so much better in Florida, it's
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: better to live there, we'll talk to him about He
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: can give you a full report in just a moment.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: On seven to ten wor for Mark's.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Emotion on seven ten wor Well.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Steve Cuzou a great New York Post columnist. Now nobody's
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: better on real estate, nobody better on restaurants on New York.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: You can get all of his columns. They're all up
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: at the New York Post website, Steve Cuzo, how you doing.
• 59:41
  Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Mark.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: I'm great, Thank you.
• 59:43
  Speaker 6: It's great to be back in New York.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get to Florida in a second. You wrote
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: about the Mom Donnie grocery stores. You know, we're just saying,
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: whenever the government government does anything, they do it badly,
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: whether it's housing, apartment, whatever they do, and they think
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: at it. What makes them think they can run a
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: grocery store?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean they can't.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 5: And you know, since this ridiculous thing was announced a
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago, my colleagues here at the Post
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: and other writers elsewhere TV have all taken a look
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: at this plan and said it's ridiculous because it costs
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 5: so much money. There would be one in the East
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: Tarlooro under the Metro North traps and what used to
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: be called Law Marquetta when there were any real stores there,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: and it would cost it's going to cost the city,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: out of taxpayer funds, thirty million dollars to open a
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 5: measly nine thousand square foot grocery.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 6: Store and it will take four years to build.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: This is, you know, hilarious, hysterical, comical on its face,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 5: But I took a look at a different aspect of it,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: which is not the absurdity of the cost and all
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: these issues, but why the hell is it needed in
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: the first place. You know, the supposed reason that Mamdani
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: and his echo chamber people have always put out, you know,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: on the on the left, is that people who live
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: in under you know, lower income neighborhoods, and East Tarlem
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: does have a lower median income and most of the
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 5: rest of the city, they suffer because there's no good
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: food available, and when there is, it's the merchants gouge.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 6: They overcharge compared to other neighborhoods.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: So I went up there and I just took a
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 5: walk around and found out that that's complete belonging. It's
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: hysterically ridiculous. I mean, within one hundred feet of where
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 5: the new City Run Market would go along would be
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: on one hundred and sixteenth Street, one hundred feet there's
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: a beautiful supermarket called City City fresh Market, which is
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: part of a group's part of a chain, and it's
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 5: a giant supermarket.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: It's not a small it's not.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 5: A bofel, beautifully lit, it's well stocked, clean, clean, And
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: here's the main point.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 6: The prices are low. The prices are much lower on.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: Lots and lots of basic products like milk and eggs
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 5: and bread and soda and even beer than they are
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 5: in supermarkets like Cristiti's and Morton Williams and Trader Joe's
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 5: all these other the kind that you find in more
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: affluent parts of town. And some of the some of
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 5: the comparisons are hilarious. I mean, quart of milk at
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 5: this shop or City fresh Market dollar ninety nine, and
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 5: I found that I found the same quart of milk
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 5: as high as dollars at certain other stores on the
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 5: on the East side of Manhattan and in the Midtown.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 5: And so the whole idea that residents of these neighborhoods
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 5: need low cost, lower cost products than they already he
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: can get is ridiculous.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 6: It's false. It's a lie. It just isn't true.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: But even if they had trouble affording growth, why wouldn't
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: you just give them food stamps? Problem solved. You don't
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: have to build a whole.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe, I mean there is a food stamp program.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: I don't I'm not an authority on the subject. I
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 5: don't know what it's called. That's a special name. I
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 5: don't know how that works. I don't know how many
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: people in the neighborhood can avail themselves of it. But yeah,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 5: that's another good case to be made against having such
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 5: a ridiculous market. This, the one on one hundred and
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 5: sixteenth Street and Park Avenue, would be one of five
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 5: that the Mamdani administration plans to open around the city.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: Did you guys at the New York Post, did you
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: call Mamdani's office and say, how come you're building it
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: next to a big supermarket?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 11: I did not.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: I mean my colleagues.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 6: My colleagues have tried to reach out to the Mamdani.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: White City Hall for ever since he was elected, and basically,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: they don't speak to us at all.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 6: They don't care what.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 5: We think, they don't care what we write, they don't
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: care what we say. They're pitching themselves to, you know,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 5: their constituency of like minded left, left leaning idiots.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, Steve Cuso just got back from Florida. Now, I
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: know a lot of people are thinking of a move
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: to Miami. I'll move to Palm Beach and so what's
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: the deal there now? Palm Beach. Tell me about West
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: Palm Beach.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 6: Because this is its fascinating to me.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: This could be the future Palm Beach.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 6: And West Palm Beach.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: Palm Beach locals called the island to differentiate it from
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: West Palm Beach. Across on the other other side of
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: the intracoastal waterways.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 6: They're not far apart.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: You can walk across from one to the other on
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 5: one of several bridges pedestrian bridges. But what's going on
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: in West Palm is really fascinating. Steve Ross Stephen m Ross,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: the New York City developer who was the head, the chairman,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: the CEO of Related Companies for decades.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 6: He created Related companies.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: This is the guy who created what we know as
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 5: Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, even though it's now
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 5: technically Deutsche Bag Center. He created Hudson Yards, you know,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: twenty six acre complex on the far west side that's
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: home to great office buildings of millions, stores and restaurants,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 5: public spaces, the vessel, the performing arts center, all these things.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 5: He moved to West Palm about four or five years ago.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: Stephen is eighty five eighty five, okay, and he is
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: as active and energetic as ever, and he has a
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: vision for West Palm Beach that he is implementing through
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: a ten billion dollar investment through his company. Private Companies
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 5: no longer part of Related Companies, he has a company
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: called Related Ross and they've invested ten billion dollars in
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: West Palm Beach. And what they're doing, they're not creating
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: a complex or a single project like a Hudson Yards. Rather,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 5: they have over the years quietly brought up a whole
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 5: bunch of existing older buildings and properties in West Palm Beach.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 5: The best part of West Palm is the area that
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 5: faces near the intracoastal and in the space of a
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: few years, Ross has built three new office buildings, building
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 5: a fourth, several new beautiful apartment buildings, public spaces, and
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: it is a remarkable thing to behold because West Palm
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 5: Beach was perfectly okay. It was kind of sleepy until
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: not long ago, and now it's pulsing with energy on
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 5: the streets the.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 6: Sidewalks they brought in.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 5: Not only have they lured tenants office tenants, but they
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: have brought in least space to all kinds of stores,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 5: New York style restaurants, there are a lot of New
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: York restaurants. They are like Harry's, the Steakhouse, Felice, and
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: there are many more coming. And the whole place is
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: alive again. And this reflects Ross's vision that West Palm
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 5: Beach can be the new Silicon Valley, very appealing to
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: tech industry. Tenants, very appealing to new residents. They haven't
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: brought they haven't gotten that many. They haven't lured anybody
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 5: from New York, not really.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 11: And I asked.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 6: I asked him, I said, so.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: Are you benefiting from big New York City exit is haha?
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 6: And he laughed and he said no.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 5: Most of their tenants are coming from other parts of
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 5: the country, residential tenants, most of their office tenants, and
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: they've got some fairly good sized tenants and a few
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 5: more in the one are from California in the Midwest. Yes,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 5: there are some. One notable tenant is Wells Fargo. Now
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: Wells Fargo moved their personal wealth management division to hit
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 5: one of Ross's West Palm Beach buildings. And it's only
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 5: about fifty thousand square feet and it comes from both
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: New York and believe it or not, Saint.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 6: Louis, which is where Wells Fargo.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: Originated, I think, and it's a drop in the bucket
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: compared with their holdings in New York where they have
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 5: a million square feet.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 6: Their hut, sign yards and elsewhere. But it's significant.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: It's meaningful because it's a significant unit of Wells Fargo,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 5: one of the great banks financial institutions, and they chose
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: to make their home in one of Ross's West Palm
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: Beach buildings.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: But here's the problem. I mean, he's great, but they
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: did this in Austin, Texas to other places, turned this
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: little sleepy thing into a booming metropolis. But now the
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: airport's not big enough. Now you don't have enough roads.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: Have they thought about that?
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think that it's a good point.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 5: I don't think there was any risk of West Palm
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 5: Beach turning into, you know, a traffic congested, impassable nightmare,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 5: which is, by the way, what much of Miami is.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 5: Anybody who's been to Miami City of Miami, I don't
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 5: mean Miami.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 6: Beach, but Miami.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 5: In the last ten years, it's become one of the worst,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 5: most unpleasant, traffid nightmares in the country. Because of all this,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 5: you know, they've got all these great new businesses in
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 5: a lot of great new buildings, so that's not likely
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 5: to happen.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 6: The funny thing is West Palm Beach Airport.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 5: I'm always hearing and reading about how great it is convenience,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 5: which it is, but there's you know, there are all
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: these capital improvements, and personally I don't see it. Every
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 5: time my wife and I go the West Palm Airport,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 5: I think this is the best they can do. It's
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 5: not particularly gracious, but I think that there are some
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 5: improvements coming. One of the great advantages that Ross has
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 5: in West Palm Beach, this is very meaningful, is that
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 5: government in South Florida, for the most part, is much
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 5: more welcoming to business than New York City is. And
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: the various mayors, successive mayors in West Palm Beach I
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: think the current guy's name is Keith Jones, have invested
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 5: in infrastructure to support business. They have helped with zoning issues.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 5: This has been very important to Ross's company, where they
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 5: needed tweaks and the zoning laws to be able to
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 5: put up what they wanted and whereas in New York,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 5: you know you've got to go to eighteen thousand community
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 5: boards and public review processes. We all see this all
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 5: the time, and it's a wonder that anything ever gets
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 5: built in New York. But anyway, for the West Palm Beach,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 5: it's really not a problem.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 6: It's the opposite of a problem.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: We only got a few seconds left. Steve Cuso. If
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: you were forced to, if you had to move to Florida,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: where would you live in Florida?
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 5: I think probably parts of Miami Beach that aren't too
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 5: overruns mean Miami North, not Ultra North, but Bow Harbor,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: the area called North Beach, I think, which are family friendly. Uh,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 5: they are close to the beach, but not on the
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 5: beach necessarily. I don't want to be able to be
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: it's there are a lot of stores and restaurants, and
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 5: if you want to, you know, explore the rest of
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: Miami Beach or or even the city of Miami.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: It's easy.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 6: Ubers are fantastic down there.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: Well we're out of time, but great stuff. If you
• 1:11:48
