- 1:17Speaker 2: they say these dumb things. Now she's actually highly educated,
- 1:20Speaker 2: but she's acting very dumb. Is that is this what
- 1:22Speaker 2: you got to do now to be a popular Democrat?
- 1:24Speaker 2: Act really dopey?
- 1:26Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I'm I'm watching all these
- 1:29Speaker 1: democrats eating each other alive, you know, I mean she
- 1:32Speaker 1: forced out all read. I mean, you know, he was
- 1:35Speaker 1: pretty weak, but at least he had some experience, you know,
- 1:39Speaker 1: as a you know, he was a former Cowboys football player,
- 1:43Speaker 1: you know, so I mean he had some experience in
- 1:46Speaker 1: the real world. I mean, and now this crazy woman
- 1:49Speaker 1: is there. You know, now you got you know Dan Goldman.
- 1:52Speaker 1: I mean, wasn't he terror isn't he terrible enough as
- 1:55Speaker 1: a congressman for New York? But you know, now you
- 1:58Speaker 1: got what's his name, louder is running in the Bradland.
- 2:02Speaker 1: The only thing is that he got arrested trying to,
- 2:05Speaker 1: you know, interfere with an Ice operation. That's that's his
- 2:08Speaker 1: only qualification to run against Goldman. And you know, you
- 2:11Speaker 1: got the crazy guy in Maine who claims he's working class,
- 2:15Speaker 1: even though he went to the hotch Kiss School at Connecticut.
- 2:17Speaker 1: He promotes himself as a working class against Janet Mills.
- 2:21Speaker 1: It's like these Democrats are starting to, you know, really
- 2:24Speaker 1: hear each other apart in these upcoming primaries, isn't it.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's so crazy to the left. They're all lunatics.
- 2:32Speaker 2: They're on. Is somebody going to come along, like a
- 2:34Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, a moderate rise up before twenty twenty eight
- 2:39Speaker 2: and like lead them back to the middle. Is that
- 2:41Speaker 2: going to happen?
- 2:42Speaker 1: You know? You know in the baseball in the baseball
- 2:45Speaker 1: teams always see if we got anybody coming up in
- 2:47Speaker 1: the farm system. I think, you know, the Democrats, I
- 2:49Speaker 1: don't see any Bill Clinton's in the farm system, do you.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Josh Shapiro?
- 2:54Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, But you know, he's got the same problem
- 2:59Speaker 1: he had in only twenty four. They they they don't
- 3:02Speaker 1: like him because he's Jewish. Yeah, I mean, isn't that
- 3:05Speaker 1: what it boils down to?
- 3:06Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you got the Fetterman's pretty normal, but uh,
- 3:10Speaker 2: you have to keep your eyes.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, it's still it's still I mean,
- 3:17Speaker 1: I I agree with what you said, and I you know,
- 3:20Speaker 1: I he has a higher approval rating among Pennsylvania Republicans
- 3:23Speaker 1: the Democrats. But you know, there is there are these
- 3:26Speaker 1: lingering health issues, you know, don't don't you have to
- 3:29Speaker 1: wonder about him. I mean even if he you know,
- 3:31Speaker 1: even if he did finally decide to you know, put
- 3:33Speaker 1: on a pair of long pants and a tie and
- 3:35Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, you know, I mean, you'd
- 3:38Speaker 1: still have to worry about his health. I don't, I
- 3:40Speaker 1: don't know, I don't. I don't see anybody out there
- 3:42Speaker 1: that that that is that it's normal to run. And
- 3:46Speaker 1: you know, you got this guy Wes Moore in Maryland.
- 3:49Speaker 1: He's got all these you know, he's he's got a
- 3:52Speaker 1: lot of resume problems, you know, danang Dick resume type problems,
- 3:56Speaker 1: you know, bronze stars that weren't issued, and you know,
- 4:02Speaker 1: working at Deutsche Bank, which he apparently wasn't working at.
- 4:06Speaker 1: I don't understand all these people that want to come.
- 4:08Speaker 1: I give you another example, that guy Trone in Maryland,
- 4:12Speaker 1: the guy who ran for the Senate, the guy he
- 4:14Speaker 1: started Total Wine. So I mean there's a guy that
- 4:16Speaker 1: I mean, he's an uber successful businessman. So he lose,
- 4:20Speaker 1: he gives up his seat in Congress to unsuccessfully run
- 4:23Speaker 1: for the Senate, loses, and then now he wants to
- 4:27Speaker 1: come back and run for Congress against the rich woman
- 4:30Speaker 1: who took his place in his old congressional district. You know.
- 4:34Speaker 1: So it's going to be great for TV ads and
- 4:36Speaker 1: you know in the DC Maryland Baltimore area. But I mean,
- 4:42Speaker 1: why does a guy that's worth all that money like
- 4:45Speaker 1: Drone want to come back to be one of four
- 4:47Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five congressman. I don't get it, do you? No?
- 4:50Speaker 2: What is it?
- 4:51Speaker 1: Well?
- 4:51Speaker 2: You know they always said politics is show business for
- 4:54Speaker 2: ugly people. Everybody wants to do something. You know, if
- 4:59Speaker 2: you're not so you going to Congress. If you've got
- 5:01Speaker 2: a personality, you pay to do a fake podcast. Every
- 5:04Speaker 2: everybody wants to be a star. Nobody wants to just
- 5:07Speaker 2: be in real life, private life anymore.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I mean, if I own total wine marks, that would
- 5:13Speaker 1: be enough for you.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Hey, you're in Are you in Palm Beach? Now?
- 5:18Speaker 1: Yes? I am.
- 5:19Speaker 2: What happens there at Christmas time? It's a whole different
- 5:21Speaker 2: place Christmas time.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Right, Well, there aren'tny riots in the street, unlike Dan Tucker.
- 5:26Speaker 1: You saw that on the front page you're up close today. Yeah,
- 5:29Speaker 1: there will be there will be no violence anywhere. No,
- 5:32Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's kind of interesting. And I've known
- 5:35Speaker 1: this going back to you know, the nineties when I
- 5:38Speaker 1: was covering the one of the Kennedy rape trials in
- 5:41Speaker 1: West Palm. We were staying in Palm Beach. But you know,
- 5:44Speaker 1: like all the lights in Palm Beach, the Christmas lights,
- 5:48Speaker 1: you're all white, you know, and you know, I don't know,
- 5:53Speaker 1: I like color color lights, you know, and I like
- 5:57Speaker 1: flashing color lights.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:59Speaker 1: So you know, we used to we on nights when
- 6:01Speaker 1: there's nothing mu's going on the trail, all of us
- 6:03Speaker 1: reporters would drive over to West Palm and just see
- 6:06Speaker 1: all the flashing lights. I still do it, I you know,
- 6:08Speaker 1: I have my studio now is in is it West
- 6:11Speaker 1: Palm at the iHeart Complex. And I so like going
- 6:16Speaker 1: going and seeing all the colorful lights West Palm. It's
- 6:20Speaker 1: going way upscale fast, especially with Mamdani coming in as mayor,
- 6:24Speaker 1: but it's still it's still like America, you know, as
- 6:27Speaker 1: opposed to po which you know, I think I think
- 6:31Speaker 1: probably colored colored Christmas lights probably violate some kind of
- 6:36Speaker 1: zoning UH ordinates in the town up Palm Beach. Y.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Hey, you know, the big big real estate guys are
- 6:42Speaker 2: building like crazy West Palm Beach. They're putting a million skyscrapers,
- 6:45Speaker 2: a million office they're gonna you know, they're not thinking ahead.
- 6:50Speaker 2: I've seen this happen in other cities. They do that,
- 6:52Speaker 2: and they forget to make the airport double the size,
- 6:54Speaker 2: They forget to put in more roads, right, and then
- 6:56Speaker 2: it's going to become a nightmare in West Palm Beach.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Mark Man, you're still you're still promoting this New York
- 7:03Speaker 1: jovenism like they like there's still some future in New York.
- 7:06Speaker 1: I mean the pom Beach Airport compared to Laguardie or JFK,
- 7:12Speaker 1: I mean, it's fantastic. I mean yeah, because it's so
- 7:16Speaker 1: easy to get to. I'm like seven minutes, I'm on
- 7:19Speaker 1: the island. I'm seven minutes away from the airport. You
- 7:22Speaker 1: know how much it cost to park today in Pomby
- 7:24Speaker 1: at that Pombeach International fourteen bucks.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the greatest airport in America because it's small,
- 7:30Speaker 2: there's not much traffic, it's easy, there's not too many people.
- 7:33Speaker 2: I'm just saying, when they build all these buildings and
- 7:35Speaker 2: you've got millions trying to go in and out of
- 7:37Speaker 2: that airport. It's going to be a nightmare. It's it's
- 7:40Speaker 2: not going to be the thing.
- 7:42Speaker 1: So uh. In other words, it'll be like New York
- 7:44Speaker 1: City you were through Trump when he was first running,
- 7:47Speaker 1: he used to talk about going to the airport, the
- 7:49Speaker 1: Phillip Wart. He said, it's like going in it's like
- 7:52Speaker 1: being in Bay Roads draining. Get into the city from
- 7:55Speaker 1: the airport. Well, you know what, it's no better now,
- 7:59Speaker 1: is it.
