- 0:00Speaker 1: Mark the moans on wor Hey, welcome to our number two.
- 0:08Speaker 1: That's right in case you didn't, I'm still don't know.
- 0:10Speaker 1: We start at nine o'clock now every morning, it's nine
- 0:13Speaker 1: to noon every day, so this is our number two.
- 0:16Speaker 1: You missed up big first hour. If you just tuned in,
- 0:18Speaker 1: make sure you tune in every morning now nine to noon. Actually,
- 0:22Speaker 1: I just saw Curtis Leiwa in the hallway packing up,
- 0:25Speaker 1: getting ready to leave, and I said, don't you want
- 0:28Speaker 1: to go back to six to ten? He goes, no,
- 0:30Speaker 1: it's it's tough for me getting up early and being
- 0:33Speaker 1: on at nine o'clock, but for him it means an
- 0:36Speaker 1: hour less, gets to go home an hour earlier. So
- 0:39Speaker 1: he said he's very happy with it. Hey, this is
- 0:41Speaker 1: now official. It's absolutely official. El Sayad has won the
- 0:46Speaker 1: Michigan primary. He's just been declared the winner. El Sayad
- 0:51Speaker 1: doctor Abdul el Sayad. He's not really a doctor. He's
- 0:56Speaker 1: some kind of a doctor. He said did something that the
- 0:58Speaker 1: medical said, but he didn't treat patients. Because if you're
- 1:02Speaker 1: if you were in the hospital, God forbid. And guy
- 1:04Speaker 1: came out and said, hello, I'm doctor Levine. I would
- 1:07Speaker 1: you feel. But if the guy came out looking like
- 1:09Speaker 1: him and said, I'm doctor Abdul Elsayad, with that crazy
- 1:13Speaker 1: look in his eyes and that angry kind of So
- 1:17Speaker 1: this is the best thing for Republicans. This is perfect. Now,
- 1:20Speaker 1: Michigan is not New York, it's not California. Michigan's the heartland.
- 1:24Speaker 1: It's a battleground state. So if you want to make
- 1:27Speaker 1: sure that Mike Rogers, the Republican, wins in Michigan, best
- 1:31Speaker 1: thing is to have a really kooky left wing Democrat
- 1:35Speaker 1: running against him, and that's Abdul el Sayad. Because the
- 1:38Speaker 1: other one in the primary was Haley Stevens, who's pretty
- 1:42Speaker 1: much more of a traditional Democrat. So you got doctor
- 1:46Speaker 1: Abdul el Sayad. This was him last night.
- 1:50Speaker 2: We all knew they were going to spend their money.
- 1:52Speaker 2: We didn't know they were going to spend seventy million
- 1:54Speaker 2: dollars of their money. We didn't know that they were
- 1:59Speaker 2: good out spend US eleven dollars to one dollar. And
- 2:06Speaker 2: yet we are still standing.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Yeah, you won. So you just shot down your own theory.
- 2:15Speaker 1: You know, the whole campaign of money in politics, it's corrupt,
- 2:19Speaker 1: it's well, they outspent eleven to one and they lost.
- 2:21Speaker 1: So obviously the money in politics doesn't mean anything. Don't
- 2:24Speaker 1: worry about it. Hey, same thing happened with Donald Trump,
- 2:26Speaker 1: remember him against Hillary. Hillary spent like one point five billion.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Trump spent like one hundred million, and he won. Happens
- 2:34Speaker 1: all the time. Uh so he won. The crazy left
- 2:39Speaker 1: winger in Missouri lost. This. This is not Corey Bush.
- 2:43Speaker 1: This ain't over, y'all. Remember you're not supposed to be
- 2:45Speaker 1: an election denier. If Trump even questions your life, you're
- 2:49Speaker 1: even questioned the election, which we used to do all
- 2:52Speaker 1: the time. Remember in Nixon Kennedy, everybody knew that total
- 2:56Speaker 1: corruption in Chicago, dead people were voting. In the West
- 3:00Speaker 1: Virginia primary was all rigged. Remember Bush v. Gory claimed
- 3:05Speaker 1: the election was wrong. You do it all the time,
- 3:07Speaker 1: but you're not allowed to do it anymore. But listen
- 3:10Speaker 1: to this Democrat to talk about an election denier. This
- 3:12Speaker 1: ain't over, y'all. This ain't over. And when I said
- 3:16Speaker 1: last time, hey pack, I'm coming to tell your kingdom down,
- 3:19Speaker 1: let's be clear that kingdom is falling down.
- 3:22Speaker 2: And I done.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Remember when you used to have to talk like this
- 3:27Speaker 1: to be a politician. You had to speak in a
- 3:31Speaker 1: statesman sort of way to be a politician n be
- 3:36Speaker 1: snarling and drooling, and so luckily she lost. But as
- 3:40Speaker 1: she says, it ain't over. She's coming back. So watch
- 3:45Speaker 1: for something to happen today Straight of Horror Moose, either
- 3:47Speaker 1: late today or tomorrow. President Trump saying there will definitely
- 3:51Speaker 1: be a deal. They'll open the Straight of Horne Moose,
- 3:54Speaker 1: which is big news for about three days till it
- 3:57Speaker 1: closes again. It's like it's like Eagles farewell tour. There's
- 4:03Speaker 1: a few of them, you know. It's like whenever you
- 4:06Speaker 1: see the artist farewell tour, just wait a year they'll
- 4:11Speaker 1: be there'll be another farewell tour come and another farewell tour.
- 4:14Speaker 1: So it's the same thing with Iran. Agreement after agreement
- 4:18Speaker 1: after agreement.
- 4:19Speaker 2: You know.
- 4:19Speaker 1: I mean, it's a good thing. Though. It's better than
- 4:21Speaker 1: Iran trying to build a nuclear bomb and funding Hamas
- 4:25Speaker 1: and they're funding October seventh and they're funding Hoodies and Hezbollah.
- 4:29Speaker 1: It's better than have them tied up just doing this
- 4:32Speaker 1: twenty four to seven, just trying to defend themselves against
- 4:35Speaker 1: US all day. Keeps them busy with this, keeps them
- 4:39Speaker 1: from doing that other stuff. So I guess that's a
- 4:41Speaker 1: good thing. Hey, the worst thing in New York is
- 4:45Speaker 1: these e bikes, these electric bikes. You know, you can
- 4:50Speaker 1: blame Mom, Donnie, you can blame Eric Adams, you can
- 4:52Speaker 1: blame Deblasia. But remember this all started under Bloomberg, This
- 4:56Speaker 1: anti car stuff, it all started under Bloomberg. Remember he
- 5:01Speaker 1: closed Times Square to cars. He made it a big
- 5:06Speaker 1: pedestrian mall. He did the same thing around Harold Square.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Go well, if you go to Times Square right now,
- 5:12Speaker 1: that pedestrian mall, it's just a crowded mess. And the
- 5:19Speaker 1: idea of the bike lanes, it was Bloomberg to put
- 5:21Speaker 1: in the bike lanes. It sounds good, but this is
- 5:24Speaker 1: New York City. We're in the northeast. You know, like
- 5:26Speaker 1: five six months a year, it's too cold to even
- 5:28Speaker 1: be riding a bike. It's not a city that's great
- 5:31Speaker 1: for bikes. A city it's a traffic city. So by
- 5:34Speaker 1: putting in the bike lanes, you'll interfere with the traffic
- 5:38Speaker 1: a little. Then Deblasio comes in and expands them, and
- 5:41Speaker 1: Adams and Mom Donny make these bike lanes bigger and bigger,
- 5:44Speaker 1: so you lose like two lanes of a sixth Avenue,
- 5:48Speaker 1: you lose like two lanes of fifth Avenue. Causes traffic
- 5:51Speaker 1: to be even worse. But the Democrats like that. They
- 5:54Speaker 1: want you to suffer if you're in a car. They
- 5:56Speaker 1: don't like cars. So the other problem now is these
- 5:59Speaker 1: were bikes. Then they invent the e bikes, and then
- 6:03Speaker 1: they invent the electric scooters and those electric whatever the
- 6:07Speaker 1: hell those are those Amazon guys are zipping around on.
- 6:10Speaker 1: So these e bikes and e scooters, they're not going
- 6:13Speaker 1: four miles an hour, they're going like fifty miles an hour.
- 6:16Speaker 1: And they're dangerous, very very dangerous. When you want to
- 6:20Speaker 1: cross the street. You used to have to just watch
- 6:22Speaker 1: out for cars. Forget the cars, you just got to
- 6:25Speaker 1: watch out for these e bikes. It's incredibly dangerous and
- 6:29Speaker 1: it's just the wild wild West. They can do whatever
- 6:31Speaker 1: they want, ride wherever they want. They're in the wrong lane,
- 6:34Speaker 1: they're going through lights, they're going the wrong way down
- 6:36Speaker 1: the street, they're up on the sidewalk. You got to
- 6:39Speaker 1: regulate them. And we keep talking about that, but the
- 6:42Speaker 1: city council looks like they're going to try to do this.
- 6:45Speaker 1: The city council speaker Julie men. And she's a Democrat,
- 6:49Speaker 1: but she's sort of like an old fashioned, common sense
- 6:52Speaker 1: kind of democrat. So she is now holding hearings trying
- 6:56Speaker 1: to get this all regulated. It would be. And you
- 6:59Speaker 1: know they are always and screaming about revenue. They're always
- 7:02Speaker 1: trying to collect revenue. That's why they increase the tolls
- 7:05Speaker 1: on the bridges. That's why they have the congestion pricing.
- 7:08Speaker 1: If you really want to increase the revenue, get it
- 7:10Speaker 1: from these bikes. They're not paying a penny. First of all,
- 7:15Speaker 1: every bike, scooter, e bike, e anything should be licensed,
- 7:20Speaker 1: just like a car. You got to get a license.
- 7:22Speaker 1: It's got to be on your bike. You got to
- 7:23Speaker 1: pay for the license, it's whatever. It's two hundred dollars
- 7:27Speaker 1: to get the license and it's fifty dollars a year
- 7:30Speaker 1: or something. That way, you're getting revenue all the time
- 7:32Speaker 1: off it. Also that way, when you want to know
- 7:35Speaker 1: who they are, you know who they are and start
- 7:39Speaker 1: ticketing them. It's a big source of revenue. If they're
- 7:42Speaker 1: running through red lights, if they're going the wrong way
- 7:44Speaker 1: down the street, ticket them. If they're going to have
- 7:47Speaker 1: their own lane like a car, they should have the
- 7:49Speaker 1: same rules as a car. They should have to obey
- 7:51Speaker 1: all the traffic rolls, start ticketing the e bikes, and
- 7:54Speaker 1: you got a ton of revenue coming in. It would
- 7:57Speaker 1: be the best revenue source of all and it would
- 7:59Speaker 1: make everything safer. So hopefully city Council Julie Mennon will
- 8:04Speaker 1: get that done. We'll see you never. Now, you got
- 8:09Speaker 1: to get rid of those what do you call those things?
- 8:11Speaker 1: Those petty cabs. That is the stupidest thing in the world.
- 8:14Speaker 1: The horse drawn carriage. I could see that. It's kind
- 8:17Speaker 1: of romantic, it's kind of Christmas. You're in this horse
- 8:21Speaker 1: drawn carriage with the blanket. But the e bike or no,
- 8:25Speaker 1: the petticab, the petty cab, it's just some illegal alien
- 8:29Speaker 1: furiously pedaling in front of you, sweating all over you
- 8:33Speaker 1: and blaring music in your ear. It's just a disgusting thing.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Get rid of all of them. Hey, we were talking
- 8:39Speaker 1: about these crazy socialists Elsai. I just wanted Michigan. I
- 8:45Speaker 1: forgot to mention Francesca Han. You know this is the
- 8:47Speaker 1: woman that called for canceling Thanksgiving. This is what the
- 8:51Speaker 1: Democrats are down to. They hate everything anything American they hate.
- 8:56Speaker 1: They just hate it. They don't like the fourth of July.
- 8:59Speaker 1: They don't like you wave in a flag. They don't
- 9:01Speaker 1: like football. Whatever American culture is, they hate it. So
- 9:06Speaker 1: Francesca Hank calling to get rid of Thanksgiving. She was
- 9:11Speaker 1: asked to explain herself. She's a state assembly woman from Madison.
- 9:16Speaker 1: She wants to be the Wisconsin governor. But she said
- 9:21Speaker 1: thanks She had to explain this. She said, Thanksgiving is
- 9:24Speaker 1: incredibly painful for many people. Thanksgiving is it's celebrating colonialism.
- 9:32Speaker 1: What she wants to cancel Thanksgiving? She said it should
- 9:36Speaker 1: have been done in sixteen twenty one. She worked as
- 9:39Speaker 1: a chef. I guess that qualifies it to be governor.
- 9:42Speaker 1: She worked as a chef, and she said takes if
- 9:47Speaker 1: it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we
- 9:49Speaker 1: should stop celebrating colonialism and that Thanksgiving was the original
- 9:55Speaker 1: super spreader event that killed indigenous people. I guess she's
- 10:01Speaker 1: talking about there was a spread of smallpox that killed
- 10:04Speaker 1: a lot of people. But you know, it's terrible, these
- 10:08Speaker 1: crazy socials trying to tear down our culture. But on
- 10:10Speaker 1: the other hand, I'm not that thrilled with Thanksgiving. I mean,
- 10:14Speaker 1: there are certain holidays we should get rid of, don't
- 10:16Speaker 1: you think. But you're saying, well, Thanksgiving is a chance
- 10:21Speaker 1: to the whole family to get together. Who wants to
- 10:23Speaker 1: get together with these You's got uncles and aunts? You
- 10:25Speaker 1: can't stand you got cousins. You don't want to see.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Who wants to get together with all these people? And
- 10:30Speaker 1: redo the menu? I mean, I like turkey, but I
- 10:34Speaker 1: don't know turkey stuffing it. I know you saying, oh,
- 10:37Speaker 1: it's delicious. You know, if it was that delicious, it'd
- 10:40Speaker 1: be on the menu and every restaurant every night. You
- 10:42Speaker 1: notice it's not going to any restaurant anywhere any day
- 10:47Speaker 1: of the year. They got a cheeseburger on the menu.
- 10:49Speaker 1: They have French fries on the menu. That's what because
- 10:52Speaker 1: people will eat that. They like that. If you put
- 10:54Speaker 1: turkey with gravy and cranbridge the menu, you're probably going
- 10:57Speaker 1: to go out of business as a restaurant. It's not
- 10:59Speaker 1: that killer. Hey remember Ken Griffin, the billionaire. He's the
- 11:04Speaker 1: guy with the two hundred and twenty million dollar apartment.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Mom Donnie was terrorizing him, dosing him standing on in
- 11:11Speaker 1: front of his apartment, he said, And he's building billions
- 11:14Speaker 1: of dollars worth of things in New York. He's a
- 11:16Speaker 1: major tax payer. Not to mention, he gives a fortune
- 11:20Speaker 1: to our hospitals, our museums and all sorts of stuff.
- 11:23Speaker 1: And he was gonna leave and that's it, and he's
- 11:25Speaker 1: going to cancel the building. Well it turns out no,
- 11:27Speaker 1: he's going ahead with everything. He will continue his massive project.
- 11:31Speaker 1: He's building an enormous skyscraper at fifty second and Park Avenue.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Now he's partners with Ornado and Steve Roth and the Rudents.
- 11:41Speaker 1: All these guys are in this thing. But it's a
- 11:43Speaker 1: big project. Picture fifty second and Park Avenue. They're tearing
- 11:50Speaker 1: down like four buildings and this one huge, sixty five
- 11:55Speaker 1: story skyscraper will replaced these four buildings. It would be
- 11:58Speaker 1: right next to Fresco, you know, the great restaurant, Rosanna
- 12:01Speaker 1: Scato's restaurant, Fresco, right next to there. It will have
- 12:05Speaker 1: six thousand employees, which would be great for the restaurant.
- 12:08Speaker 1: But on the other hand, as they point out, it's
- 12:10Speaker 1: going to be like six years of construction and a
- 12:13Speaker 1: mess all over that street. But he's going ahead with it.
- 12:17Speaker 1: It's a U yeah. I think it's sixty five stories
- 12:21Speaker 1: and it's going to have Griffin's own company. Citadel will
- 12:25Speaker 1: be the major tenant, be the anchor tenant. So he's
- 12:28Speaker 1: not leaving, not leaving New York. Hey, we mentioned last hour,
- 12:32Speaker 1: that's right, this is the second hour. We start at
- 12:34Speaker 1: nine o'clock now every day nine to noon. Last hour.
- 12:37Speaker 1: We mentioned Scott Pelley and Sharon Alfonsei sixty Minutes. They're
- 12:43Speaker 1: going to be professors at Columbia, which is the most
- 12:46Speaker 1: left wing fake news journalism school ever. But also here's
- 12:50Speaker 1: something else. The ex boss of sixty Minutes who got fired,
- 12:55Speaker 1: wants to launch his own sixty minutes, a rival sixty minutes.
- 12:59Speaker 1: I don't know what they call it, sixty five minutes
- 13:02Speaker 1: or something, a rival sixty minutes, and he wants to
- 13:05Speaker 1: hire Scott Pelley and Sharon Alfonsei and create their own
- 13:11Speaker 1: sixty minutes. Now, who the hell would put this on
- 13:13Speaker 1: I don't know, but apparently I'm sure this guy is
- 13:16Speaker 1: called everywhere and nobody wants it, so he's trying to
- 13:19Speaker 1: do it on his own. He's now trying to raise
- 13:21Speaker 1: fifty million dollars to fund this. Normally, if you got
- 13:27Speaker 1: a great TV show idea, and if you could bring
- 13:29Speaker 1: in a couple of big name anchors. You call up ABC,
- 13:34Speaker 1: you call up NBC, and say, we'll do our own
- 13:37Speaker 1: sixty minutes. Well, you can do it on Sunday nights
- 13:40Speaker 1: against sixty minutes. Well, I'm sure he did that and
- 13:42Speaker 1: everybody said no. So then you call CNN, you call MSNBC,
- 13:47Speaker 1: you call him. Apparently they said no. So he wants
- 13:51Speaker 1: fifty million to create his own thing. I don't know
- 13:55Speaker 1: what he would do with it. I guess just put
- 13:56Speaker 1: it out. He put it on YouTube or something, do
- 13:59Speaker 1: it live on online. One of those kind of deals.
- 14:02Speaker 1: I'm sure he called NPR or one of those places. Hey,
- 14:05Speaker 1: by the way, there's a study out of NPR. Since
- 14:09Speaker 1: they lost their government funding. They lost it because they
- 14:11Speaker 1: were so slanted, so left wing. PBS, NPR very biased,
- 14:16Speaker 1: slanted left wing. Since they lost the government funding, they
- 14:20Speaker 1: stepped up the bias. It's much much more left wing now.
- 14:26Speaker 1: I know if anybody would NPR, we try. We should
- 14:29Speaker 1: were right down the middle. We stay right down the middle.
- 14:32Speaker 1: We don't slant it. The most biased news in the world.
- 14:36Speaker 1: NPR does very well in New York. By the way,
- 14:39Speaker 1: every left wing kook in New York listens to it,
- 14:42Speaker 1: and they think it's very straight. You know why, because
- 14:46Speaker 1: they talk like this. You talk like this on the radio.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You sound like you're a very serious person. Now I
- 14:52Speaker 1: could do this for the whole show, but who the
- 14:54Speaker 1: hell wants to listen to it. It sounds like you listening
- 14:56Speaker 1: to a golf announcer. So if a talk hosts, hey,
- 15:00Speaker 1: you talk like this, it sounds like maybe you're just biased.
- 15:04Speaker 1: But if you talk like this, it sounds like you're brilliant,
- 15:06Speaker 1: even though you're not. Anyway, we'll take some calls next.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
