• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone Show
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on seven ten WR.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well, it's supposed to be a great Fourth of July weekend,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: people taking time off's supposed to be amazing. Now it's
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: gonna be one hundred degrees and I'm looking at the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: real feel one hundred and ten. So this is awful.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: But if you're thinking of moving to Florida, try Thursday,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Friday Saturday. See if you like that weather. If you
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: don't like Thursday, Friday and Saturday's weather, you don't want
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to move to Florida because it's like that for about
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: four months a year. So it's gonna be brutal. You know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: they're having the Big America two point fifty celebration in Washington, DC.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: This is a massive event with fireworks, with parties, with
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff, many many, many thousands of people
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: expected to show. But I don't know how this is
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: going to affect that, because as bad as it'll be here,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: it'll be worse in DC. It's expected to get to
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: a hundred here, it'll be more like one hundred and
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: five in DC. That's south. It's going to be a
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: lot warmer there, So I don't know who's going to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: stand outside in all of that heat. So it's going
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: to be a rough weekend. And I don't know how
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: we're going to get through this, but you know, I
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: can tell you all the same things. Stay hydrated, drink
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: tons of water. If you're going to be outside, stay
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: in air conditioning. So this is going to kill a
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: lot of plans for the Fourth of July, many of
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: them outdoors. And you're not going to be outside on Friday. Thursday.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I think it's the worst day. But Friday's pretty bad too.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: It cools off, drops to like the mid nineties maybe
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: on on Saturday. So lots to get to. We'll get
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to Iran, we'll bring you all the latest. We'll get
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to President Trump. We'll get to the crazy Democrats and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: all the communists getting elected. Comcast is getting rid of NBC.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: We'll get to the real reason all those crazy wacko
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: socialists got elected. This past week. Our buddy mel Brooks
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: tour turns one hundred today, oh yesterday, actually a hundred.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: We think about that, you know, now, the candles cost
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: more than the cake does a one hundred. Take a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: look at my Instagram. It's a good picture of him.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And me on Instagram. Where do we even start. Let's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: start with Mom Donnie. What the hell was he doing
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: on these Sunday shows? This, Mom Donnie. I got to admit,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: he's a charming guy with a great smile and a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: wonderful personality, and I mean a terrible, evil communist, anti
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Semite everything you can think of. But the fact that
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: they had him on the ABC Sunday Show lead guest
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: gave him a long time on that Sunday show. They're
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: really promoting him, trying to make him the new face
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: of the crazy wing of the Democratic Party. This has
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: got to upset AOC. She might not be happy about that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Although remember you know she's talking about running for president.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Remember that, Mom Donnie was not born in this country,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: so he cannot be president. He can never run for president.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But Jonathan Carl, the left wing biased fake news guy,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: fawning all over Mom Donnie, never asking a tough question,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: and no matter what Mom Donnie said, Jonathan Carl just
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: nodding like a bobblehead, never questioning it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Listen to this, Republicans are going to make you the
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: poster child for the Democratic Party left them.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: if a socialist wins. I won last November, and over
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: the course of these last six months, what we've delivered
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: for working people are the very things we were told
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: were impossible.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody cut this short. He goes on and on,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and he goes through, you know, affordability daycare for two
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: year olds, and he said, we brought crime to its
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: lowest level ever. And Jonathan Carl nods, nods, nods, doesn't
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: say to him, we looked into those numbers. Yeh, it's
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: down overall, but murder is up dramatically. Robberies are up
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: through the roof. What about that? But it's Jonathan Carl
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: fake news, even the question they're going to try to
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: make you the face of you know, of course, the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: first socialist mayor ever of New York City. I mean
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: nobody is you know, the only good thing for him.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You could say nobody's been more anti semitic. Now you
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: can't say that anymore. You got Brad Lander, and you
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: got these other wackos that got elected, I mean real
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: left wing kooks. Now people, you know, serious political operatives
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: studying this whole phenomenon, looking crunching numbers and focus groups.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: You know the reason those socialists got elected this past week.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: The crazy ones had nothing to do with affordability. They'll
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: tell you that was the issue, affordability and all that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: They got elected for two reasons. One the anti Semitism.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: This awful hatred of Israel has taken over the Democratic voters,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: especially the younger ones. It's a vicious, sick hatred of Israel.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: They'll claim it's just anti Israel, which is a code
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: word for anti Semitic. The other reason is Trump. They're
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: sick of these old politicians, the last generation, the real
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: old hacks. They think they have not been effective standing
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: up to Trump. Now it's one reason for this phenomenon.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: These younger voters think, well, we got to vote in
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you know, a whole different breed, younger, crazier. The older
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: people couldn't stand up to Trump, maybe these people will
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: do it. You know, they look at a guy like
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer and they're not wrong as just a totally ineffective,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: useless character. And Schumer is no matter what your side
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: you're on, he's just a useless old fossil, a slow dinosaur,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: a useless, pandering, cheap politician. So that's why they're going
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: with these crazies. They think maybe they can stand up
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to Trump, maybe they can stop Trump. Yesterday was the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Pride Parade, and I think it was the end of
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer's political career. I have never seen anybody look
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: more pathetic than Chuck Schumer in the Pride parade. First
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of all, he got booed like crazy. Listen to this,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and he is completely tone deaf. He's lost all touch
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: with the voters. He was the cheapest, hustling, pandering, just
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: cheap politician in this Pride parade. He's marching down the street,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: you know, everybody's just marching and waving. He brings with
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: him a bullhorn thing a microphone so that he can
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: talk to the crowd. It was embarrassing and I don't
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: think he knows it's twenty twenty six he brought this.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: It's like a bullhorn where an aid is walking next
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: to him holding the big the bullhorn thing, and Schumer
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: has the microphone on a long you know, the coiled
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: phone cord kind of thing, so he's talking into it
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: while the aid is holding the big part. And the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: microphone he's using is from like nineteen fifty eight. It's
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the microphone Broderick Crawford used on highway patrol. I mean,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the it just looks so antiquish, and Schumer is just
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: annoying the crowd. He keeps repeating over and over again
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the whole parade. He goes, I was the first senator
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: ever to march in this parade the nineteen nineties. I
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: was the first senator ever to march in this bridge.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Is bragging stupidly about nothing, and then he just keeps
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: repeating over and over again. My daughter is married to
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: a woman. That's right, my daughter is married to a woman.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: He'ps repeating this over and ogain. It's the cheapest, leaziest
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: pandering and the reaction he got. So it's these old, cheap,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: old hustler politicians that that's one reason these younger voters
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: are completely turned on him, voting in communists, socialists, anti semites,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: left wing kooks, and it's just going to continue. So mom,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Donnie gets so much time on this Sunday show.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: We need to have a platform and a vision that
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: doesn't sound as if it was cooked up by consultants,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: but instead one that you would say in response to
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: someone who's asking why can't I afford my rent. Why
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: can't I afford my groceries? Why can't I afford my childcare?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the thing. He's got a nice look
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: on television, nice looking guy. He's got a big smile,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and he talks fast. You know, if you can talk
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: fast like this, and you can talk faster than most people,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: you sound like it must be much smarter. Otherwise, how
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: could you talk that fast? So, but these communists, it's
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: perfect for Trump. He was all over this all weekend.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: The communists elected in New York City recently. They're communists,
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: they're not social democrats. They want to completely destroy the
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: traditional American way of life.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they say all the right things. Everything they say.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: If you actually do it, it's a total disaster. Ninety
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: eight percent of what they say they'll never do.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: They're turning communists themselves, becoming a communist party. These are
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: not social democrats. These are hardcore godless communists. They're godless communists.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: All communists are godless. They don't believe in God. This
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: is the most serious threat to our country since its existence,
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: in my opinion.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Now there's some Democrats, the old guard in Congress saying
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: maybe we should not let them cauc us with us.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe we should make them be a separate party, you know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: like Bernie Sanders officially an independent, not a Democrat. Maybe
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: they should do that, but it's too late. There really
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: is no more Democratic party. You got taken over. You
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: lost your party to these people.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: They make promises that they know they can't keep. And
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: the Democrats aren't fighting back. That's why they're dumb. They're
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: not fighting back. They're afraid.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, notice he calls them the Democrats, the Democrats. You've
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: lost your party. It's pretty much gone. These guys took
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: it over. You're pretty much finished. Nothing is this more
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: mom donning.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Republicans are going to make you the post it's the
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: same cut.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to make you the postage. Yeah, because
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: you're a crazy lunatic socialist Left wings sort of a
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: sort of a coop. So I ran. The latest on
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Iran is they did strike a ship. They attacked a
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: ship in the straight of horn Mouse, a civilian ship.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: We quickly responded and fired a lot. They sent their
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: four drones. We knocked down three of them. It was
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: pretty bad. So that caused another round of bombing. But
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: this was extreme bombing of Iran. Let me see, I
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: think this is it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: That first year, boy, you're the most Popular's happening.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: No, let me see, I'll find the Iran cuts. But
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: it was pretty bad. So they hit Iran very, very hard. Now,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: it turns out during that four or five weeks of
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: ceasefire where we were restocking and resupplying, apparently Iran was
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: as well. They're getting missiles from somewhere. It's also believed
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: that before all of this they buried missiles deep underground
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and that they've dug them out. So we had hit
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: them pretty hard. Now, Iran putting out a statement, Islamic
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Revolutionary Guard putting out a statement that they have no choice.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: They have to have a nuclear bomb. It's the only
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: way for them to maintain peace, keep themselves safe. They
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: must have a nuclear weapon. But obviously will never allow
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: that to happen because they're the biggest sponsor of terrorism
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: in the world. They're the biggest supplier to terrorist groups,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: so obviously we would want them to have any nuclear
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: material to hand over to a terrorist. So it's got
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: to stop. In President Trump Saturday said the peace deal
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: with Iran was fraying. It has falling apart. We may
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: have to go back in there again. They struck a
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: civilian ship, tried to and over the weekend we launched
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: strikes against them, the world larger, much larger than the
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: previous retaliatory strikes. They were huge. Trump saying, there may
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: come a point where we're no longer able to be
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: reasonable and we will have to complete the job militarily.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: We will have to wipe them out. Quote. If that happens,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist. So
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: if we have to do that, it'll look better because
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: he tried every diplomacy method, every peaceful method, and if
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: you got to wipe them out, you gotta wipe them out.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: And that'll be the end of it. Now, remember Iraq,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: we went through a lot of the same stuff with
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: a raq on off. Can't stop, they won't, you know,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: we keep playing. Well, everybody forgot about Iraq. It's been,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: you know, years, been fifteen years since somebody's even mentioned Iraq.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: But they've been going on there, hobbling along for fifteen
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: years with some kind of a government. But over the weekend,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a bunch of Iraqi political officials were arrested on corruption charges,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: stealing money, that's pretty interesting, you see. That's that's how
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: you know, they're straightening themselves out, becoming a democracy. Got
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: the more corruption there. Of course you have that with
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: socialists too, but it's slowly, slowly unraveling there. Hey, the
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: other thing with mom Donnie. You know these e bikes,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: these electric scooters, these things flying around the streets, very dangerous.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: People are getting hurt, getting run over. I mean, they're crazy,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: these electric scooters, electric bikes, these delivery guys. So the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: city council in the state that past some sort of
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: thing about, you know, regulating them, cracking down, giving them tickets,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: stopping that, enforcing. So Mamdani blocked it. It's you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: it could get passed, but he could just order the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: police department, don't enforce this, don't bother the e bikes.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: And that's been the case. Now why is mam Donni
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: protecting those e bikes that are crazy and reckless. Well,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: it's part of these left wing cooks, these real fanatical
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: left wing cooks. They hate cars, They hate automobiles so much.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: That's why I got all these plans to reduce sixth Avenue,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Park Avenue, you know, to get rid of the cars.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: But I just don't want to crack down on the
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: e bikes and scooters because they think those are the
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: anti car people. The other reason is many of the people,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: as you be grabbing and are ticketing and arresting and fining,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: are illegal immigrants. That's mostly who's doing the delivery work.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: And if they got criminal charges these illegal immigrants while
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: doing the deliver work, criminal charges would make them candidates
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: for deportation. That's why mom Donnie doesn't want to crack down.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: He does going to see them get deported. The other
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: reason is who are they delivering for. Most of them
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: are for Amazon and stuff like that, major major supermarket companies.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Amazon and Amazon and those things are making massive donations
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: to these politicians, and they don't want too much of
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: a crackdown because it would really hurt their delivery business.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: So you got all these different forces clashing on this. Hey,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three
• 15:44

  Speaker 7: to align themselves with the socialists and running scared. And
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: Kennedy's sixty one addressed everybody who remembers the line about
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: a snot what your country can do it for you.
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: But he also had a line those who foolishly saw
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: And I think that discuss people.
• 16:38

  Speaker 8: Were you happy to meet me?
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I was the thrill of my life. I couldn't believe.

• 17:58
  Speaker 8: to tell but we don't have humidity, honey, that's the thing.

• 18:03
  Speaker 2: They always tell you, oh, there's no humidity, you know what.
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: Horrible? No, no, no, I'm not lying to you.

  Speaker 2: There's no humidity in my oven either, but.
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: It's still for I know you can't stand outside. No,
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: I'd be lying to you if I tell you can't.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: All right, Mara, Well, good call, Thanks for calling. Let's
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing.
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: Good morning, Mark, And you're right about the heat down
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: here and what you're going to be enduring this weekend.
• 18:29
  Speaker 11: The one thing you won't have to endure is the
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: little power outages I get every couple of days down
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: here because they can't seem to get the lights to
• 18:37
  Speaker 11: stay on.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Well, don't chinkit, don't chinxit here.
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: Well, it happened last night.
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: I had to get up early for cataract surgery this morning,
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: and the lights are blinking in the middle of the night.
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: Anyway, I wanted.
• 18:49
  Speaker 12: To say that, you know they're gonna you know, it's
• 18:51
  Speaker 12: not the Democrat Republicans who are going to make mom
• 18:54
  Speaker 12: Donnie the face of the party. It's the Democrats because
• 18:57
  Speaker 12: they want him to be the super radical so they
• 18:59
  Speaker 12: can make AOC seemed moderate insane. They did the same
• 19:03
  Speaker 12: thing with Biden.
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: And then she'll get in and she'll be a communist just.
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: Like the best of them.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: That could be. That could it's a strategy that's not
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: a bad strategy, I mean for them. But all right,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: well thanks for that. You know the problem with AOC
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: problem number one, she doesn't know anything. She knows nothing
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: about anything. Remember she went to Davos, the big World
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Economic Forum, and went to speak there and didn't know
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: a damn thing about anything with economicists and know nothing,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: didn't know anything about foreign policy. You'd think if she
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: was going there she would have boned up on it studying.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like a twelve hour plane ride. You
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: get at least study a little. But nope, doesn't know anything.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: But and that was Kamala Harris's problem. But but you
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: know a lot of these democrats don't care. They just
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: see a d and they start voting. Let's go to
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Rich and Myrtle beach. Rich, how you doing, hey?
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: Thanks Mark hot Hot It was one hundred and four.
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: It felt like one hundred and four down here, and
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: some of it will be like that almost every day
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: for the rest of the summer. Now, so.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Tell us how to get through it. What do you do?
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: What you want to sit by the pool and jump
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: in the pool. And you know thing, if you go
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: to the beach down here, as long as you're have
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: a breeze on the beach, it's not too bad. But
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: if the breeze is light or nonexistent by eleven o'clock,
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: you have to get off the beach and come home
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: and sit in there conditioning or jumping it out of
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: the pool. You gotta you know, drink, you know, stay hidrache,
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: just like they always say. But it's just it is
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: what it is. And the funny thing is is when
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: I was living a Long Island, the hottest part of
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: the day is like two three o'clock in the afternoon.
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: Down here, the hottest part of the day is five
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: and six o'clock in You have to it's like never
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: ending down here. And the humidity is like light years
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: ahead of what it is even living on Long Island,
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: living on the ocean, like I did, humidity down here.
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: It took me years to get used to it. In
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: the first couple of years I was here, I couldn't
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: even believe. It was like walking through soup all the time.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: You know, Well, remember that if you're thinking of moving
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: to North Carolina or Florida, I just remember that. All right,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling. Let's go to Ernie speaking Long Island
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: in Northport, Ernie. How you doing.
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: Good, Good morning Mark, Chuck Schumer.
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: I mean, this guy amazes me.
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: You know, he's got a problem with the communists in
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: the state.
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: You think he would get out in front of this,
• 21:13
  Speaker 12: But this guy's got no backbone.
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: You think he would defend himself.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: He's gonna get primary And the.
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: Other thing, I think what you said about him, he
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: takes his compliments.
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: I mean, this guy is I can't believe.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a pathetic, cheap hustling politician. And he looked
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: so ridiculous in that parade with this old microphone from
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: highway patrol that he's talking into. And that shirt is
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: like you know what Lalo Salamanca wore in the Breaking
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: bad that summer shirt and just looked ridiculous. Let me
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: find it again. The crowd when they saw Schumer, this
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: was the reaction and this is the pride parade. I
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: would assume the crowd is most democratic, and how what
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: they do when they saw Schumer. He's finished. It's the
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: end of the line for him. Can never run for
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: anything again. If he well, I was gonna say he
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: should resign, but then Hokle gets to a point a replacement,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and to pander, she would appoint a left wing socialist.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: So let him stay there, let him finish out the term. Hey,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin is away, but when we come back, we'll
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: talk to Liz Peak, the brilliant columnist coming up next
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: on seven to ten WR.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the Mark Simone Show on WR.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Well, we're looking for Liz Pig all right, we'll find her.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin's away this week. Let me just look at
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: the weather because today might be the most normal day
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: of the week, but there is no there's no chance
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: of rain. Yeah, it's going to be in the eighties.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Now it's going to get it's going to get rough
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: this week. So tomorrow it'll be eighty nine. That's not
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: so bad. Wednesday, you know what. They're actually bringing it
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: down a little. Wednesday's ninety five, Thursday's ninety nine, Friday
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: the same they had it over one hundred before it
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: it's down to ninety nine. Now, fourth of July, which
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: is a Saturday, it's going to be actually they're bringing
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: it down a little ninety three. So it's possible this
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: heat wave comes down just a bit. However, there's a
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: good chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon, and yeah,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that could could be a problem on the fourth of July.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: So you know, NBC was bought by Comcast years ago.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: It's part of this big Comcast empire. Brian Roberts the chairman,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: and it's an enormous conglomerate. But they've had enough of NBC.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: They want to get rid of it. So now you're
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: going to they'll spin it. Of course, that NBC is
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: so big that they want to spin it off into
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: its own public company. That's a way of getting rid
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: of it because it's a bad business for Comcasts at
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the time, way back when ooh to own NBC was
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: a big deal. You remember when ge was going to
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: sell NBC. People were all over the place, the billionaires
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: of the world, the big companies bidding trying to buy NBC.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: What a big thing that would be to own the
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: NBCTV network. Well, now Comcast has had it for years,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: they'd like to get it the hell off their books.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a dying business. Nobody watches network TV anymore.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: All in network television is twenty five million people. The
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: three networks. That's all they get. Twenty five million, AM
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: radio get sixty three million. AMFM gets one hundred and
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: fifty nine million. So for the networks they have twenty
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: five million, and NBC's only got about a third of that.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: It's a business that's not good, you know. Like here
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: in the Bill, mar gets the Mark Twain Award. That's
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: a big TV special. It's on Netflix this year. It's
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: not on the networks. It's not on CBS, it's not
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: on NBC. It's going to be on Netflix. So it
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: makes more sense to own something like Netflix. So Comcasts
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: needs to get rid of NBC. They're separating it into
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: a different company. They'll make an IPO out of it.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: They'll spin it off and they'll sell stock in it
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: at least get some money for dumping it. They can't
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: just out now sell it. Comcasts will continue to own
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: nineteen percent of the stock, but I'll gradually dump that
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: stock and be done with NBC. They got rid of
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: MSNBC last year. They kicked them basically out of the
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: company MSNBC. That's why they had to change the name
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: to ms Now it is now a separate company. It's
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: a little company in fact, they were thrown out of
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: the Comcast Building and Rockefeller Center. They now operate out
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: of some little studios in Times Square. They're looking for
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: space in New Jersey. And you remember when you used
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: to watch MSNBC, when they'd cover the news, actual news,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: they'd cut to the big correspondence all over the world,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: the NBC News correspondence. Now they don't have that resource anymore,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: so they always cut to some half assed stringer that
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: they got somewhere. And that's about it. The Clive Davis
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: funeral is taking place as we speak, Central Synagogue, Bruce Springsteen,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: A lot of artists are there, some expected to perform.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Now you know, of course, about George Soros, the crazy
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: kookie George Soros. He is spending a ton of money
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: on the midterms, a massive amount already. It's already spent
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: one hundred and three million already and that number could
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: double by the time the midterms come around. This will
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: be a new record for Soros. The last record was
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: four years ago he spent one hundred and twenty eight
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: million on the midterms. This one guy one hundred and
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: twenty eight million, so figure he goes to two hundred
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: million this year. He's already spent one hundred and three
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: million on the midterms. He runs it through these packs
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: of his and distributes it to a democratic and socialists
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: and crazy causes. Srous is pretty old, he's old and feeble,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: and the son really runs this. This is Alex Soros,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: who's forty. The son is running most of this, So
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: maybe the son is trying to deliberately break the father's record.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: But these guys financing all of this crap. I know
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: it's bad for America. It hurts America, but that's what
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: these guys want because they know how to profit off that.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: The other sorrows. The competitor, who may even be bigger
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: is a guy named Neville Roy Singham. He operates out
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: of China. He's a Soros but he moved to China
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: and operates out of Shanghai and he's protected by the
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Chinese government and he's financed by them as well. But
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: we'll get back to that because the Justice Department is
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: about to go after him. But we found Liz Peak. Well,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Liz Peak, how you doing, Yepe? We don't hear uh,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Liz Peak? Are you there? Let me push it in here,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Liz Peak. Do we have you now you have me.
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: I'm so sorry to be joining.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm good. So, hey, we're talking about all
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: these crazy socialists that got elected. So the people analyzing
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: this say it had nothing to do with affordability. These
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: young crazy voters, they're really voting anti Israel. They're voting
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: because they hate Trump so much and they think the
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Old Guard wasn't effective against Trump. What do you think.
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: I think a lot of truth in that.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: And actually yesterday I was thinking, you know, when Trump
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: is out of it, and if there is peace in
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: the Middle East and Israel and Palestinians come to some
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: sort of Israel and Lebanon, do just sort of mar
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: think all this goes away.
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's just like and remember that all these.
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: As groups cycle through causes, right, it's Black Lives Matter,
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: and then the next thing, you know, it's free Palestine.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think I don't think they're wetted
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: to these causes. And I do think yet that that
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: is the anti Israel thing is the most motivating of
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: all these issues that are out there. Certainly more than
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: your rent have going going up five percent, right, So
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: when you when you know, back before Mamdani was elected.
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: We did a forum on getting Republican voters out. You know,
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: could Republicans have any kind of voice in this election?
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: The esport at the end of there was no, But
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: when there was a young activist guy who was on
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: a panel that I spoke on, and he said, as
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: he talked to people in the street, the number one
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: thing for young old Jews, non Jews that drove them
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: to vote for mom Donni was the Israel question. And
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: I thought that was really pretty stunning, And obviously it's
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: had a huge impact on the Jewish vote. Jews seventy
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: percent historically have voted for Democrats.
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: Now they are really angry.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: About this shift to the anti Israel Democratic Party, but
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: there's a good forty percent of them young people who
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: voted for Mamdani, So it's really scrambled traditional voting blocks.
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: The only thing I'd say that makes me somewhat hopeful.
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you heard Raphael Warnock yesterday on CNN,
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: but he basically, after all, representing Georgia, which is a
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: swing state and has a lot of conservative black voters,
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: he was kind of like, well, you know, I don't
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: think we have to I don't agree country without borders
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: is not a country. A city without police is not safe,
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: et cetera. So I do think you've got some solid
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: pushback from, for example, conservative blacks, and I think you're
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: going to get more pushback from the Jewish population.
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: We just haven't seen it yet.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't go a minute left. But whatever, it's
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: caused the what normally would have been the mainstream guys
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: like Schumer or Tink Pritzker. You wrote about Pritzker. It's
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: causing these people to act like wacos. Yeah, don't they
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: realize they're scared.
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: They're scared.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: Schumer, I think is really the most abjectly cowardly of
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: all the Democrats and leadership positions. Right now, he is
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: the number one elected Jewish representative. I mean, that's just
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: a fair way of saying it. And he represents New York.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: His problem is that Alexandrio Cosco Cortez, a Democratic Socialist,
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: has her sites on challenge at Schumer to become, you know,
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: to replace him in the Senate, and right now and
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: actually over the last year mark, the polling would suggest
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: that she has a shot of doing that.
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: So Schumer is terrified of alienating these young.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: Anti Israel voters, and so he has not stood up
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: when there are overt anti Semitic. Forget anti Israel, the
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: anti Semitism that's come to light in the Democratic Party
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: is so offensive, but apparently it no longer offends Chuck Schumer.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: I mean, I hope people dump him, frankly, because he's
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: just turned out to be such an incredible cynical pal,
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: you know, but shame on him.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, we're out of time, but we started late.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: We'll have to make.
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: A pet Yeah, I'm so sorry, totally on me.

• 33:42
  Speaker 14: New York, here's more.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone on seven ten WR.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Well, all right, it's not bad today, but a heat
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: wave is coming, big heat wave. It's going to be
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: near one hundred degrees Thursday. Well, Wednesday's gonna be pretty bad,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: but I see here's the latest Wednesday ninety five, Thursday
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: ninety nine, Friday ninety eight, Saturday ninety three. It had
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: been at one hundred but hopefully the heat wave subsiding
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: a little. It's going to be rough this weekend. Not
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: the greatest weather, but it'll give you a chance to
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: see what life is like in Florida for the whole
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: summer these three days. If you don't like it, you're
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: not gonna like Florida. Hey, you know the Gilgo Beach murderer,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: that big Frankenstein, Rex Schuerman, has been sent to prison.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: It's a prison they call Little Siberia because it's the
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: most unpleasant prison in the state. It's up near the
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Canadian border. The weather is unbelievably cold all winter. That's
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: why they call it Little Siberia. It's the Clinton Correctional Facility,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Dana Mora, New York. Now you might remember this name.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Remember the two guys that escaped, Matt and was it Sweat?
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Matt and Sweat. Remember the two guys escaped from this.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: One of them was sleeping with the guard, that woman,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: and she helped them escape and they got out. Remember
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: that they were escaped. They have gone for a week
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: or so, And you remember Andrew Crmo looking ridiculous, putting
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: on that hunting jacket and that police looking thing and
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: being out there helping to hunt them down. That's that
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: same facility. But there's a couple of mass murderers there.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Joel Rifkin is there, the serial killer, the Zodiac killer
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: is there. So this is where they're sending him. He
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: will be there for the rest of his life. He'll
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: die in this prison. So it's the most unpleasant place
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: they could send him. Perfect he'll just ride away there. Hey,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: this Taylor Swift wedding is coming up later this week.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: You should be aware of this, even if you don't
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: care about Taylor Swift, because it's going to tie up
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: traffic and cause a lot of gridlock all around Madison
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Square Garden. You remember when the Knicks game the Knicks
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: we're playing here, they closed off streets, you know, like
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: on a two block radius around the garden and it
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: caused a traffic nightmare. We're gonna have the same thing
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: again because they're going to close off streets for this
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Taylor Swift stuff. Now, apparently it's three nights. It will
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: start with a rehearsal dinner. This will be one hundred
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: close family and friends. I think that's Wednesday, and then Thursday,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: the actual wedding will take place. But it's a multi
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: day event. They're expected to have about two thousand people
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: at Madison Square Garden. It's Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: They're both thirty six years old. So it's Thursday and
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: apparently Friday. For some reason, it's a two day wedding
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: and there'll be a lot of famous artist there and
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: many of them are expected to perform. Stevie Nicks is
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: one of them. She's a big Stevie Nicks fan. So
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: that'll take place, but it's gonna just snarl up stuff,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: especially on Thursday and Friday. She's gonna be a mess. Now,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: I hope this is not something. I hope it's not
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: going to be having all of her weddings here because
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: this marriage, how long do you give this marriage? Five years?
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Five years tops? I think that's it. But hopefully the
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: next wedding be someplace else. Alvin Bragg, the crazy da
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: who lets all the criminals go, who's soft on crime,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: being accused of a little crime here himself. He's been
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: attending a lot of major charity galas for free. He's
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: invited now many of these gallas, like here's one, the
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Robin Hood Foundation. You know, it's like ten thousand bucks,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: fifteen thousand bucks. People buy tables for one hundred thousand
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: dollars two hundred and fifty thousand, and he's coming for
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: free to dozens of these. Well, in his defense, it's
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: pretty common for the big charity gallas to invite prominent
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: politicians because it helps sell tickets. If they come to
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: the gallon and they meet the governor, and they meet
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: the Senator, and they meet the congressman and a few
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: movie stars, a few celebrities, you try to sprinkle them
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: through the crowd, especially in the cocktail party. So it's
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: not uncommon for politicians to come for free. You don't
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: sell them a ticket, they come, and so he's really
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: not doing anything. The only problem with Alvin Bragg. I've
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: been to a few charity gallows where he's there. And
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: when you have a senator or a governor or a
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: mayor and your charity go oh, everybody walks over, especially
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: to take pictures. They want to take pictures with him,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: and it helps your helps your gallup. But with Alvin Bragg,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: the couple where he's been there, nobody wants to go
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: near him. In fact, there was one at the Pierre
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Hotel where the photographer comes over, would you like a
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: picture with Alvin Bragg? Is said, no, that's okay, And
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: ten minutes later she comes back, would you like a
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: picture with Alvin Bragg?
• 39:04
  Speaker 10: No?
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Twenty minutes later, can I get you with the Alvin
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Bragg for a picture? I said, why do you keep
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: asking me? And she said, I can't get anybody take
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: a picture with him, So he is kind of useless
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: for that. Now New Yorkers who live in market rate apartments,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: you know, so some people got excited about Mom Donnie's
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: no rent increase and this stuff and that stuff and
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: it sounded great, it's going to be a nightmare. And
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: also for millions of other people who are paying the
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: regular market rate. You're going to get stuck with the
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: bill for this.
• 39:42
  Speaker 15: Now.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Whenever the socialists try this, no rent increase, no you're
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: going to regulate this with the landlords. In the end,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: it always ends up causing disaster, absolute disaster for the
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: people in these apartments. They get more run down, conditions
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: get even worse because most landlords abandon them, and then
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: if the city has to take them over, they become
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: real hell holes. I mean, they're just awful the way
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: they run things. So this is the problem with these socialists.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: You know, they always propose these incredibles that sound great,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: and then when they do them, it's disaster. Mom, Donnie
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: and the other socialists using that term again, they say
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: they want to decommodify housing. Decommodify housing, it's a Marxist term.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Marx use that term all the time. It means take
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: the value out of it, take the value out of housing,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: make it not worth so much. Well, when all that happens,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: the conditions get a lot worse. So you're going to
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: see total disaster in the housing market with mom, Donnie.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: But that's what happens. They do this stuff, you know,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: and it just becomes a total shambles.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: That first year. Boy, you're the most Popular's happening right
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: now in New York and California. But you'll start living
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: in Squalor. You'll live in Squalor. There will be no food,
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: there will be no housing, there will be no military,
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: there'll be no law in order, there will be no nothing.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, sounds good, doesn't it. So again these communists, socialists,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Why are they voting for them? Again? It looks like
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: it's two reasons, not affordability. The underlying reasons are deep
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: anti Semitism. They're voting for these anti Semitic candidates. And
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: the other is Trump hatred. They hate this guy so
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: much and they feel the old guard, the previous wave
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: of politicians were totally ineffective trying to stop Trump. They
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: think these new radicals, well, the else stopped. Well, of
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: course they won't. Now we're talking before about you got
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: George Soros and Alex Soros funding all this crap. But
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: you got this other guy, Neville Roy Singham. He's the Soros,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: the other one. He's trying to be the bigger Soros.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: He operates out of China, protected by the Chinese government,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: financed by the communist Chinese. They love financing this stuff
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: because it helps hurt America. It just makes America just
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: decay and crumble with all this socialist crap, So that's
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: why they finance it. Now Trump's Justice Department is going
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: after Nevill Roy Singman. They're going to try to indict him,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: prosecute him. Again. He's in China, so he's really untouchable.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: But he's sending hundreds of millions back into America for
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: all of his crap, and maybe they can stop the
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: flow of the money. I guess that's the real purpose here.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: He's a Goldman Sacks client, so they went They asked
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Goldman Sachs to cooperate. Goldman Sacks says they will cooperate.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: They will answer the subpoenas and turnover records. So it's
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: possible as he funnels all this money back that they
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: may be able to block it, stop it. Something like that. Hey,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: the price of oil, it came up a little, just
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: ticked up slightly. It was down to see eight dollars
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: sixty nine dollars over the weekend. With all the new
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: resumed fighting in Iran. Well it's only gone up to
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: seventy dollars, which is pretty low. That's a low oil price,
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: seventy a barrel, it's close to what it was pre war.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: So these these are good indicators that nobody's panicking. Market
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: not panicking over this. Seventy dollars of barrel is pretty good.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: That mean gas averaging now about three point eighty. Now,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: first the price of oil drops and then the price
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: at the pumps, well, that takes a couple of weeks.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: That's that's always lagging. So expect that to come down
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: to three point fifty pretty soon and then start heading lower.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: So that's that's good news. AOC all over the plate.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Now you've got to remember Mom Donnie. On the Sunday shows,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie, they talk about him, is the face of
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: the the party. You're now the face of the crazy Democrats.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: And if a C is watching, I assume she might
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: watch those Sunday shows. And if she hears Jonathan Carl.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: Say, Republicans are going to make you the poster child
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: for the Democratic Party.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Ooh, Now, AOC is not gonna like that. She wants
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: to run. Of course, there's a big talk of her
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: for twenty twenty eight. Now, remember Donnie was not born here,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: so he can ever run for president, so that helps her.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: But she can't be too happy about you know, she
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: was the poster child of all this. Now this guy's
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: taken over, so you may see a little conflict there
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: between the two of them. AOC trying to sound off.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: She yelled and screamed this weekend about major tech companies.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: She's putting them on notice about their looming price increases.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: They're far too big, AOC said, she's putting Apple on notice.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they're trembling there in Silicon Valley. She says,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: companies like Apple, why they think they are governments and
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: we have to totally stop them. They're like governments with
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: totally unchecked powers. She's talking about the price increase. Now
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: she's got an IQ about maybe eighty doesn't know anything
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: about business, finance or anything. Because of AI. The chips,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: the memory chips, the things that are vital to make
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: computers and phones. Because of AI, it uses so many
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: chips that the major AI companies are buying up all
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: the chips, so it makes them harder and harder to get.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: These AI companies have become bigger than Apple, bigger than anything.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: AI is such a big business it's just gobbling up
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: the chip supply. So now it used to be Apple
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: was so big, so powerful, they could always be first
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: in line. They could get the chips first, they could
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: get them at a good price. Well that's not the
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: case anymore. They're tiny now compared to these AI companies.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: So Apple's having trouble with the supply chain getting these chips.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: They're having to pay more to get them, and as
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: a result, they've announced all Apple products will have a
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: price increase. For a laptop or a tablet, it's going
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: to be an extra hundred two hundred, they think they
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: they think when the phones come out they'll be able
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: to maintain the same price on the phones, but the computers, desktops, laptops, tablets,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: there will be a price increase. So this is what
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: she's yelling and screaming about. But she thinks they just
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: raised the price just for the hell of it. She said,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: we need to break up these companies. You imagine breaking
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: up Apple. You know what would happen if you broke
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: up Apple? You wouldn't get the same quality phone computer. Wait,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: are your voters find now they're gonna have trouble getting
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: the phone. You see how much they love you. Hey,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden was speaking this weekend at the Live Casino
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: and Hotel Hanover, Maryland. What was the event here?
• 47:01
  Speaker 13: Uh?
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's the well. It was the first time he's
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: been seen since the Obama Library opened. So he made
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: a speech that was basically incoherent. When it was done,
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: he didn't know where to go. He turned to this side,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: then he turned to that side, then he looked in
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: the back, then he pointed in two different directions, and
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: then somebody must have yelled at him or waved to him.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: He finally figured out how to get off the stage,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: how to walk off, But people in the audience were stunned.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: They never saw anybody look so confused, bewildered, And when
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: he was totally lost up there on the stage, he
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: he actually yelled on stage, where's my granddaughter? So apparently
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: she was supposed to come lead him off the stage.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: She's like the seeing eye dog for him. It was
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: just horrifying to the crowd, and they watched it. You know.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Other times, the First Lady Jill by former First Lady
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Thank God, had to go him and lead him. So
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: he's an absolute mess. The reflecting pool boy. They love
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: writing articles about this reflecting pool, about the algae, about this. Now,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Trump spent about twelve million. They're attacking him like crazy
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: because after twelve million, there's algae in there. If you
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: check my Twitter, I put up this article from years
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: ago when Obama was present, he spent thirty five millions.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: He spent three times as much, and it's an article
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: from NBC News about how the whole thing is No,
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: it doesn't reflect anymore and it's covered with algae, which
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: is much worse than the situation now. But that's the
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: hypocrisy and the double standard Democrats are famous for. We'll
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: take some calls. Next eight hundred three to two one
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten. Is the number eight hundred three to
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: two one zero seven.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Ten, mars on seven ten wr.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ty can calls eight hundred three two one
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten. That's a number eight hundred three to
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. Let's go to doctor Bob
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: in Long Island. Doctor Bob, how are you doing okay? Mark?
• 49:15
  Speaker 13: Good good? Thanks you very much. Getting ready for the
• 49:18
  Speaker 13: well the tly weekend.
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: Can't wait.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be one hundred degrees real feel one hundred
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: and ten.
• 49:25
  Speaker 13: I just got to stay in the north. I guess
• 49:27
  Speaker 13: make sure we got plenty of activistion available mark with
• 49:30
  Speaker 13: this transition from capitalism towards socialism communism, especially in New
• 49:37
  Speaker 13: York City. I don't know if you remember the Million
• 49:40
  Speaker 13: Dollar Movie used to be on Channel nine. They used
• 49:42
  Speaker 13: to play Gone with the Wind for the whole week
• 49:44
  Speaker 13: in a row. Why not bring back the movie Doctor
• 49:47
  Speaker 13: Shivago where it really shows what happened in Russia going
• 49:53
  Speaker 13: to Soviet Union and the transition. That movie is very
• 49:57
  Speaker 13: vivid and it shows exactly how Moscow changed with the revolution.
• 50:02
  Speaker 13: I think that would be very enlightening. But to see that, I.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: Don't think it will work. Because it's a spectacular movie,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: cost of fortune visually, cinematography unbelievable. But it's like four hours.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: It's like four hours long. It's twenty twenty six. Nobody
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: has an attention span long enough to watch that movie anymore.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: It's a fair happened a machine.
• 50:23
  Speaker 13: You know, you watch it home for it.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: It's a great everybody should go watch it. That's a
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: good point. But the people that need to see at.
• 50:32
  Speaker 13: The money experience. It's a tshi experience.
• 50:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I know, but again, what's the store.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Will love it? But the mom Donnie voters, the twenty somethings,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: they have an attention span of thirty seconds. That's why
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: they like TikTok. You'd have to make a TikTok version
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: of Doctor Shivago to get through to them.
• 50:51
  Speaker 13: But they're they're very minority. They're a minority his followers.
• 50:54
  Speaker 9: They're really a small portion of the population.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Well, that's who you're trying to convert. They're the voters
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: voting for No, you don't need them.
• 51:01
  Speaker 13: You need people to get to the polls to prevent
• 51:04
  Speaker 13: the transition.
• 51:05
  Speaker 15: That's the thing.
• 51:06
  Speaker 13: All right, here's the lesson.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: All right, doctor Bobs, not a bad idea, Thanks for calling.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Uh it was the hell of a movie. Doctor Jevago
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: was what that was? The guy's name, Omar Sharif, remember
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: him with the mustache. But again, twenty something watching TikTok
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: videos of Dot cake is they're not going to sit
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: through four hours of Omar Sharif on Doctor Jovago. Let's
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: go to Norman in Long Island. Norman, how you doing Hi?
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: Hi? Question for you Mark? Do you think that the
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: conservative radio and conservative TV stations are actually helping the
• 51:46
  Speaker 9: communists by always showing their campaigns but never showing the
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: campaigns of the people that are running against They're sucking
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: up all the oxygen. These communists with anybody all.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: The time, anybody voting from Donnie or any of those.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: They're not watching conservative anything, They're not watching TV, they're
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: not watching radio.
• 52:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but they're getting name recognition by showing their campaigns.
• 52:09
  Speaker 9: But we don't even know who's running against them because
• 52:12
  Speaker 9: they don't show much of that the.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but again against people under thirty have no contact
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: with conservative radio or TV. They don't see it never.
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but you know, we should really show more of
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: the campaigns of the people running against these guys, well,
• 52:30
  Speaker 9: because they're getting free advertising.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the you know, the conservative candidates. Bruce Blakeman
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: certainly is that scene everywhere he was. He was even
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: on CNN the other day with Caitlin Collins. I give
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: him credit. He's a brave guy with that crazy Caitlin Collins.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 52:48
  Speaker 15: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Mara, Good call Mark. For
• 52:51
  Speaker 15: the same reasons that the city helped cause the housing
• 52:57
  Speaker 15: crisis and the destruction that was the South Bronx in
• 53:01
  Speaker 15: the late sixties in the early seventies because all everything
• 53:06
  Speaker 15: rented before them was rent controlled and the landlords couldn't
• 53:11
  Speaker 15: keep up with the upgrades, the upgrading and plumbing, the
• 53:15
  Speaker 15: upgrading in the electricity. The same thing is going to
• 53:18
  Speaker 15: start to happen because Mondami's cronies on the rent guideline
• 53:23
  Speaker 15: board didn't allow a one or the first time a
• 53:27
  Speaker 15: two year increase. Back then, Mark the landlords went the
• 53:32
  Speaker 15: city did that in the late sixties early seventies. You
• 53:37
  Speaker 15: had up to seven years you could be in arrears
• 53:42
  Speaker 15: on your property taxes. So the landlords they could not
• 53:46
  Speaker 15: turn over anything, so they ran the properties into the ground,
• 53:50
  Speaker 15: collected rents and didn't pay out the property taxes in
• 53:54
  Speaker 15: the water. Now they moved up to three years. Marked
• 53:59
  Speaker 15: people of pulling their buildings off the market. They want
• 54:03
  Speaker 15: to have nothing to do with this Mark. I get
• 54:07
  Speaker 15: off it. Rent controlled, rent stabilized buildings every day. And
• 54:13
  Speaker 15: I said to you last week, why do I want
• 54:16
  Speaker 15: to be partners with the City of New York. I
• 54:19
  Speaker 15: hope a big real estate organization like you know the
• 54:23
  Speaker 15: big ones. I hope they bring this case to court
• 54:26
  Speaker 15: because this has been the court Vincent.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: We only got like a minute. Let me ask you
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: a question. You're a landlord your own apartment buildings. Yeah,
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: what if they did I know, but what if they
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: did a thing where they just motivated you guys? Like
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: I said, any improvements you make, you can deduct from
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: your property text will lower your property tax if you
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: make improvements. Would that way?
• 54:43
  Speaker 15: Yeah? Yeah, especially since now a lot of the buildings
• 54:48
  Speaker 15: they want to have them wired internally so that they're
• 54:52
  Speaker 15: smart buildings. Put the latest Yeah, Mark, that's one hundred
• 54:56
  Speaker 15: percent on the money. And what they also got to
• 55:00
  Speaker 15: do is make housing court fair for the landlords. You
• 55:05
  Speaker 15: have these bombs and I've experienced it where they're not
• 55:09
  Speaker 15: paying you rent for two years. They go to court,
• 55:12
  Speaker 15: they get a liberal judge, a liberal judge gives them
• 55:14
  Speaker 15: an extension, an extension and extension. The ACLU is paying
• 55:20
  Speaker 15: for the derelic tenants legal fees. Meanwhile the landlord is
• 55:26
  Speaker 15: out a quarter of a million dollars and still didn't
• 55:28
  Speaker 15: get a verdict on their properties.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's never gonna happen. But it's a good idea.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: But thanks for calling. Great call, Vincent. Hey, when we
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: come back, the great New York Post columnist Steve Cuzo.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: He's the expert on real estate in New York, on
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: restaurants in New York. But we'll talk to him about
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: how's New York doing, how's the apartment market, the housing market,
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: are people moving in or moving out? What are the
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: real numbers? And we'll get to all the latest from
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: him next on seven to ten WR.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: Loonshown Live from the w R Life Back studio.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Well, Steve Cuso, the great column listen for the New
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: York Post, nobody better on real estate, on restaurants and
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: what's going on in New York. You can read all
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: of his columns. They're all up on the New York
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: Post website. Steve Cuzo, how you doing?
• 56:18
  Speaker 9: Hey?
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: Good morning Mark, Hey, Now tell us the truth. Everybody
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: will tell you New York is dying. Nothing but empty
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: storefronts everywhere. What is the real deal?
• 56:27
  Speaker 16: The real deal is that we ain't dying, at least
• 56:30
  Speaker 16: not yet. As long as I look. In New York.
• 56:36
  Speaker 16: We survived nine to eleven, survived the Wall Street crash,
• 56:39
  Speaker 16: We survived COVID, We survived all these things. Question is
• 56:43
  Speaker 16: whether we can survive mayor Mom, Donnie your new pal
• 56:47
  Speaker 16: there I see from the Yeah, Mark, anyway, I'm glad
• 56:52
  Speaker 16: to know he has a sense of humor.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: He does.
• 56:54
  Speaker 16: But anyway, so everything, you know, I happen to live
• 56:59
  Speaker 16: on the Upper east Side. Privilege, I get it, okay,
• 57:03
  Speaker 16: but not all of the Upper east Side is rich
• 57:05
  Speaker 16: wherever I go, and not only there, but through the village.
• 57:09
  Speaker 16: I was in Brooklyn on the Saturday Lavonia Avenue and
• 57:13
  Speaker 16: it's remarkable for a city. If we did follow the media,
• 57:17
  Speaker 16: you know, we're in terrible crisis. There are all these strains,
• 57:20
  Speaker 16: there's all this underlying anguish and everything. And yet guess what,
• 57:24
  Speaker 16: it's amazing how peaceful everything is. Nobody's getting knifed or stabbed.
• 57:31
  Speaker 16: Businesses are booming for the most part, and you know,
• 57:36
  Speaker 16: it's it's great. And you know, if you look at
• 57:39
  Speaker 16: look at Brian Park, one of the great places in
• 57:41
  Speaker 16: the city and one of the great parts in the
• 57:43
  Speaker 16: world urban parks in the world. It's so popular that
• 57:47
  Speaker 16: you've got two different restaurant companies fighting over the restaurant.
• 57:52
  Speaker 16: You know, it's called the Brian Park Grill. And this
• 57:55
  Speaker 16: is one of the strangest stories I've ever covered because
• 57:59
  Speaker 16: there's a company there called Arc Restaurants. They've run the
• 58:01
  Speaker 16: Brian Park Grill for thirty years. Their lease was up
• 58:05
  Speaker 16: last year. Their landlord, which is the Bryant Park Corporation,
• 58:09
  Speaker 16: declined to renew their lease. They want to bring a
• 58:11
  Speaker 16: new operator. The new operator will probably be Jean George
• 58:16
  Speaker 16: or Vanka Richton. And there are many, many complications to
• 58:21
  Speaker 16: this whole story. We have limited time, so I'm not
• 58:23
  Speaker 16: going to get into them. But basically, Brian Park Grill
• 58:27
  Speaker 16: is still there without a lease. Bryan Park Corporation got
• 58:32
  Speaker 16: a court order allowing them to begin eviction proceedings. That's
• 58:38
  Speaker 16: going to take a long time. And meanwhile, Jean George,
• 58:42
  Speaker 16: one of the great chefs in the world and his
• 58:45
  Speaker 16: company would love to be there. And it typifies the
• 58:52
  Speaker 16: energy in the restaurant scene, and not only restaurants scenes,
• 58:56
  Speaker 16: but in the public realm. You know, Brian Hawk is
• 59:00
  Speaker 16: a great landmark at a great location, and right now
• 59:04
  Speaker 16: it's one of the best places in the world to
• 59:06
  Speaker 16: be a couple of days from now, it's going to
• 59:08
  Speaker 16: be one hundred degrees so maybe a little less desirable,
• 59:12
  Speaker 16: but that affects everyone and everywhere. So it's a great
• 59:16
  Speaker 16: time to.
• 59:17
  Speaker 9: Be in New Yorker.
• 59:17
  Speaker 16: No matter what anybody says.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: The greatest rent run tours, whether it's John George or
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: Danielle or all these danny they keep opening more and
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: more and more places in New York City. So they
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: must know something. They must have faith in this city.
• 59:30
  Speaker 16: Yeah, or they're making a big mistake. But you know
• 59:34
  Speaker 16: the days of overexpansion in the city or over, I
• 59:38
  Speaker 16: don't see guys like the ones you mentioned of opening
• 59:44
  Speaker 16: restaurants all over the place. When they do open, it's calculated.
• 59:49
  Speaker 16: They're very careful, they know the market. They hire the
• 59:53
  Speaker 16: best people to run them. So for example, in Brooklyn
• 59:56
  Speaker 16: now is On George's company and his CEO Lowest three
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 16: Men have a new restaurant, ABC Kitchens, which is it's
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 16: in Brooklyn Bridge Park and it's a combination of three
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 16: of von Garrickton's restaurants branded as ABC. There's ABC that
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 16: It's already won the Design Award. It's enormously popular. But
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 16: they chose that place very carefully. They're not just opening
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 16: all the yeah just to say hey we've got a restaurant.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: This is how good Steve Cuser is. He's the only
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: man on earth that can pronounce John George's last name.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: What is it again, Von, I've worked on that for years.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 16: I can't get it, good old French name.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Hey, now, what about retail. Is retail making any kind
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: of comeback?
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah? It is.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 16: I wrote about to this. Today a real Estate Board
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 16: of New York has a new survey, and uh, it's
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 16: a balanced acknowledged that there was still album in spots.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 16: By and large, it's doing. Retailer is a good shape.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 16: Retailer is hard to measure. It's not like office space,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 16: where everybody has access to the same data. It's easy
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 16: to measure. You know, this building has a million square feet,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 16: this company releases half of it. That's not true in retail.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 16: The spaces are all different sizes. When people talk about well,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 16: you know there are only ten vacancies on a certain
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 16: stretch of an avenue, ten vacancies. Those vacancies can be
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 16: six hundred square feet or they could be sixty thousand
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 16: square feet. And I'm exaggerating, but only a little. Very
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 16: hard to quantify. Overall, My sense is that this isn't
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 16: from the real estate board. This is my own two cents.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 16: It's very healthy. There's one of the problems with New
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 16: York City retail is that there's too much space because
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 16: over the last twenty five thirty years, lots more new
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 16: space was created, and at the same time that there
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 16: was downward pressure on demand for brick and mortar stores
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 16: because of obviously online the shopping. So you've got all
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 16: this new space and places like the World Trade Center
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 16: of Hudgson Yards, Brookfield Place on Manhattan West, all these
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 16: different areas with hundreds of thousands of square feet to
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 16: be filled, and there are only so many stores to
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 16: go around. All that said, it's in very good shape.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 16: You go to neighborhoods like Soho, you can't believe how
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 16: densely packed it is, with every kind of store from
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 16: all over the world. You go to the meatpacking district
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 16: and you see that it's hard on Ninth Avenue, the
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 16: meatpacking district. Baccarat has moved their flagship from Madison Avenue
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 16: to Ninth Avenue. That says a lot about the strength
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 16: and health of the market.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: And also apartment rentals. The rental market is booming. Condo sales,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: even on the high end, are doing well. Right, Yeah.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 16: I mean I lived on First Avenue in the seventies.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 16: There's a building that just went up on Second Avenue.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 16: It's pretty much around the corner for me, Second Avenue
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 16: in seventy seventh Street. And it doesn't have a name once.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 16: They just gave it a nice it's the number of
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 16: the street something in the east, seventy seventh Street and
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 16: none of these silly names. But the developers there, Mickey
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 16: enough Tali, who really knows what he's doing. And he's
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 16: the guy that brought the Plaza Hotel back after it
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 16: was sold years ago. And this building, as I read
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 16: this a week ago, had the highest sale, highest price
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 16: sale of any residents in New York City. It was
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 16: like some crazy number thirty forty million, I don't know.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 16: And that's amazing. That's on Second Avenue. About that, you know.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 16: And we're not talking Park, we're not talking Madison, the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 16: seventy nine street. So yeah, the market's great. How much
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 16: affect the rent guidelines board decision will have you know,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 16: of not allowing landlords of rent stables departments to raise
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 16: rents for another year or two or whatever it is.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 16: I think it's a stupid and self defeating stroke that
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 16: will have the effect. It's not going to help anybody
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 16: if you live in a rent stay boys department. It
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 16: means it will save you a couple of dollars over
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 16: two years not to have your rent increased by your
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 16: legal percentage. At the same time, it will discourage landlords
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 16: from making necessary repairs maintaining their buildings properly, and it
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 16: will also encourage landlords to see apartments off the market
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 16: in the expectation that when this all passes, they can
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 16: get a much higher rent, so they want to commit
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 16: to a lower artificially lower rents now, which of course
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 16: has boomerang effect. It doesn't help people looking for apartments.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 16: It hurts them by reducing the industry. Yeah, that's New
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 16: York for you.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Well, but I'm glad to hear things are better, much
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: better than they're being portrayed. And that's good news. And
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: you can see all of Steve Cuzo's columns. Just go
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: to the New York Post website. Just typed in his name,
• 1:05:24

• 1:05:27
