  Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to Scott a couple of weeks ago,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: but our schedules were screwed up about this, the sculpture
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: he did where he he's something else.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: This guy he had a hand, a huge hand, huge
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: hand with the middle finger up, which he placed outside
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: of City Hall now. Weeks before that, I had the
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: fortunate opportunity with Scott and Johnny Tobacco and others too,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: to be there when he unveiled that great painting of Mom.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: But this this one was, this one was for the ages,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the big middle finger. It seems like.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Every week Scott Lobato does something else proving his love
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: of the city and is disdain for all leaders. So
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: here he is the great Scott Lebato Scotty, Good morning, buddy, Hawaiia.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Good morning, said good on that. I say this once
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: in a while about your show, but I got to
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: emphasize the audience needs to hear it again. You guys,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: you know you really are like an artist, and that
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: includes the whole crew. You know you see me, you
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: know you follow me. I'm on Instagram. You know you
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: make people cry. I make people cry, I make them angry,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: I make them laugh. I entertain them and then I
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: punched them in the face with the hard ass truth
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: and make them think. And you guys are exactly the same.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: You know. Listen to you guys when I'm up. You know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: it's like I'll piss my pants. And then just before
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: you're talking about Asian Ted, and you know I'm tight
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: with those guys. You know, I'm like, oh my god,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: it's true.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Is he he is?
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: It's great. Anyway, I want to see them. I'm going
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: to see them. I'm going to see them Saturday, Uh
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Rudy and UH and Ted cause he's got a big
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: birthday party at the America First Warehouse in Long Island.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: So I'll be there and I'll put the word in
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: uh to have him give you a call again on
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: the show.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Always having a big birthday party out there. That's great.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was. I was planning for a while.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: And then when he almost died, you know, I was like.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: And then a week later, the guy Joda Box who
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: runs it, he's like, you're coming right, I'm like, wait
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: a minute, isn't he He's not well, he goes, no,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: he's good, he's coming. He'll be there, so uh yeah,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: so so we'll see them tomorrow night. But yeah, now,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: you guys are you know, you guys are really that's
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: why you're great. I mean you're great obviously. Uh, you
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: run the you run the ship. But you know, you
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: need your mates and the whole crew. It's just you.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: You you you provoke emotion, that's the point. And it's
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: not just one emotion. You know, there's a sports show,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: there's a political talk show. Uh, there's just a news show.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: There's just a comedy show. But you got it all
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: wrapped up in one. And people need that nowadays because
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: everybody we're all sucked into the technology and you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: everything happens quick and you lose, You lose people quickly,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: but not you guys. Hence number one. Thank you anyway. Yeah,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: and again back to the being creative and capturing emotion
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: and provoking emotion or the feelings of a community. Yeah,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: this one I knew was gonna be a doozy, the
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: big middle finger sculpture.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: It was so good, bro, it was so good.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: It was it was just classic. I mean uh. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: again it's the sentiment that you know, we are the artists,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: that we have to portray what the community, you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: the sentiments and the feelings of our community. That's what
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: the great artist does, not his you know, great brushstrokes
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: or how he creates things, but to capture that sentiment,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: that feeling of the city. And never before has the
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: city felt this this taste, this disdain for somebody. And
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: that includes a lot of his voters. And I'm gonna
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: say maybe most of them, you might agree, who are
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: now like, uh, you know, this is the repercussions of
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: my actions thinking that I was going to get all
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: this wonderful free shit stuff, you know, and and here
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: it is. It's it's Backfirron. You know, small businesses, you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: you name it. We don't have to go through it,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: you say, every five minutes of the day, but this
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: was the feeling of the of of the people of
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: the city, and that's the majority of them, and including
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you saw the video when I first
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: posted it, I have this little number one ten written
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: on the sculpture and nobody, there's a couple of people
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: figured it out. That's the badge number of Officer Jonathan Dilla,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: who was killed by a repeat offender. And I know
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: it's a weird place to put a memorial tribute on
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: a giant middle finger, but because it represents that this
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: middle finger is also from most of the greatest police
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: force in the world, the NYPD, And you know they
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: can't say a word. Look what happened to our buddy,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Captain Wilson, you know, because he said some a couple
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: of you know, opinionated things that weren't vol He told
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: the truth, but it wasn't aggressive, it wasn't you know.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: He told the truth. And look what happened to him.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: They wanted to hang him. And mister Wilson, if you listen,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: they're gonna sing songs around campfires about you, pal because
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: you are an e fin legend and you know, you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: you know these cops, you know you like me we
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: worship these cops. We do everything, we kind of promote them,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: celebrate them, and they can't say a word. But yet
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: these wild, vicious animals can wreak havoc throughout the cities
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: and get away with it. So anyway we I'm gonna
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: say we because you do the same with your voice
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: and I do it with my heart. We speak for
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: the NYPD and this is a big f you to
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: this maya from them, whether they say it or not,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: we know their sentiments and how they feel. So it
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: was a big hit.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Huge that it was huge, I mean, and you know
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: it was trending for hours and hours on Twitter.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Did you know that you were trending on Twitter?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Dude? It went more than any of my actions, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: most of my actions. We will this one is still
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: I'm still getting a hit from a news in News England.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: The Jerusalem posted it the other day, so I'm like,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: all right, good, good this. I know this is gonna
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: be a good one.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: So I have you started then, because again you had
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: two big ones in a row, the unveiling of the
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: painting and then the big middle finger.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Have you already considered what you're doing next?
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Or do they just come to you, like, for example,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I played Angel of Halem this morning, and Bono tells
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: his story. He was at a diner, I think a
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: diner in New York and he just started writing down
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: on a napkin. Some lyrics turn it to Angel of Halem.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like he planned on writing a song that day.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Have you already planned your next move or have it
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: just come to you?
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: The next one is is gonna be I have just
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: got to keep top of myself again. Be in the artist.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: You're pink the mona, Lisa. What do you gotta do next?
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: You gotta do something so yeah, and again back to
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: the bar napkin. I'm a barfly. That's where all of
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: my ideas. I carried napkins and pencils in my sock
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: and I'll just sit there by sitting with my girl
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: friend and she's like in the middle of a conversation
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: at dinner at a restaurant, and she'll be like, what
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: are you doing? I'm talking to you. I gotta write
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: this down. I gotta write this is my next She
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: rolls her eyes. You knows it's going to be, you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: but yeah, it's it's it's gonna be epic and it
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: will be at the same location.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Around We loved that location.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Why not's on a city hall because we know eventually,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: whether he's there at that time or not, eventually he's
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: going to see it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Hey, how was that rally two nights ago? I didn't
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: make it, I know you did. How was that? You know?
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Sid I agree with you and I disagree with you.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: I agree with you because I've been doing this forever
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: and I slowed down of having these big rallies because
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: of the lack of attendance. If you don't have attendance,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: you don't get you don't get the point across, you know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: and and people are well, you know, we did win
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: these closing of these illegal alien shelters here, of these
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: unbitted men across the street from a little girls school
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: here and sat now because I finally got the people
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: out by the thousands and thousands, day in and day out.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: It wasn't just one night. So shit works, like I'm
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: sorry against that. Stuff works, but you gotta attend. So
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: this rally was great, And again I disagree with you
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: where you know, like nothing gets done it it's it's
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: something that people need to be part of that are
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: just sitting home. So if that's all it is that
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: gets them out, you know. I saw a lot of
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: faces that are familiar, you know, all my fans and everything,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: and a lot of hot women, you know, which is
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: where you guys discussed, which is you know, another reason
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: why you attend these things, uh, just the nature of
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: primitive humanity. But but no, it was a really powerful event.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: It was really good and uh you know it was
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: it was a nice The cops were great. There was
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: a lot of peace. You know. I had a couple
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: of my guys with me. But there was the big
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: buffer zone, which I was disappointed at because last year
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: or the year before, I had a big rally at
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: city Hall at Grayson Mansion against Eric Adams and we
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: were right there. They allowed us to be right there,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: and so yeah, they shut it all down. We had
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: to be down on that one street. So that was
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: you know, the hypocrisy again, do as they say, not
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: as I do. You know, you can have these no
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: buffer zones that these are Graveley schools, but oh we're
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: gonna have a buffer zone around my precious uh you
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: know area. Uh so yeah, it is what it is.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: But it was a good, It was a great you know, okay.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Great, did a great job, and Jane and Brooke did
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a terrific job.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Michelle.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Michelle also, that's right. So on the way out, Scott,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know this. I don't think I know this,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: But are you a big nick fan?
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: I'm a NASCAR fan, dude, So.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Last week you must have been really upset when Kyle Busch.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Got Yeah, I was. You know, I'm a real NASCAR fan.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I give the rookies, they got to earn my keep.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Like Jeff Gordon, I never liked him for the last
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: seven years, and then he earned my keep respect. Kyle
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: was a was a cry baby, a little whiny, and
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: then he grew and then you know, nasty guy, tough guy.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: And he said a lot of things about Dale Earnhardt Sr.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: That us Dale are one hut fans were not happy about.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: But again, the last few years he came on to me.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: I rooted for him at the Daytona five hundred because
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: he is one hell of a driver. It was God
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: rest his soul. I mean, just he's the epitome of NASCAR.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: So it's a major loss, it really is. I know people,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: most people listen to your show. I think of cos.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: No, but you know what's funny. No, but this show,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: you know you you actually no like w f A.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: N Yes, they want to hear about the Knicks and
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: the Mets and the Yankees, But this show. Most of
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: the people that listen to me watch Fox News. And
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: if you watch Fox News, for example, on the weekends
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: when they've got Campos, all they know they actually did
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: the show live Campos, Griff and Charlie Sunday from the
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Indianapolis Speedway before the INND five hundred, and they had
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: everybody on, from Jimmy Johnson to all the racers that
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: raced against Kyle Busch. So my listeners are also Fox
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: News fans. And because NASCAR is on box, Fox News
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: bends over backwards to give you that coverage.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Yes, and I'm pigeonholed you thinking that you're just here
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: in the city. Remember you're national now, so right now
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: the middle of America.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: That's right, you know, I didn't.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I gotta be honest, Scott, I didn't know much about
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: the guy that won the race in India this weekend.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know much about him. I never really. I
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: don't think he's a big big deal, is he.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: I'm not again. I'm more Nascar. I'm not okay, real fan.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, I love all fast cars. I just got
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: here in my five point zero brand new GG Mustang,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: just fighting off some idiot wearing a mask with nobody
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: else in his car, driving two miles an hour. But yeah, no,
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: I'm again back to the Nixcel Coss. I'm a New Yorker,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: I'm a New York fan. I'm rooting for them, you know.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: But cars going around in circles, crashing at two hundred
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: miles an hour, that's my.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: It is great. It is great, and you're great, Scotty.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Great job by here today as always, and we missed
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: it yesterday, but you came back and killed it today.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: And we got a lot of big birthday parties coming up, Scott,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: and I can't wait to celebrate all those with you.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: And I think about the nation turning two hundred and
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: fifty years old. You're the guy I want to be with,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: so as always, Scott Lebato, thank you so much, Love
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: you brother, Love you too, and thank you for the
• 11:49
